Speaker 1: Mystery physics, come in welcome.
Speaker 2: I'm e. G.
Speaker 3: Marshall. Has it ever occurred to you to have yourself
put into a frozen sleep when you die, so that
you may return someday in the future. This is a
bone chilling tale if you're an excuse upon that concerns
the science of cryogenics, that branch of physics, which deals
with low temperatures, the hypothermic range, in which more and
more people are having their bodies frozen after death in
the hope of reincarnation someday in the future.
Speaker 4: All right, close the tests.
Speaker 2: No, no, please one moment.
Speaker 4: Mister Richard. I don't want to lose any more refrigeration
than we have already lost.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, doctor, do what you.
Speaker 4: Must very well. It's if, mister Richard, we have done
all that human hands can do.
Speaker 2: From on, the computer.
Speaker 4: Takes over.
Speaker 2: Our mystery drama.
Speaker 3: To Die Is Forever was written especially for the Mystery
theater by Ian Martin and stars Mandel Kramer and Marion Selders.
The island looms high out of the sea like a
mailed fist. Between it and the mainland. Massive riptides whipped
the calmest sea to Whitewater. Since the days of the
Spanish main it has belonged exclusively to the Richard family,
bought with the blood, money and booty of one hundred
pirated ships. Silhouetted high above the harbor, a great mansion stands,
built some three hundred years ago by Richard the Red
Handed to house the dusky princess he stole for his
bride from the island of Martinique. But that's ancient history. Today,
three hundred years later, we are concerned only with a
descendant of his, unlike him in every way save for
his looks and the name he bears.
Speaker 4: As you can see, mister Richard, we are now completely
set up. The capsule itself because of its weight, is
on aroullers, bull bearing, and the whole thing consulated.
Speaker 2: I suppose it has to be that enormous doctor Burton.
Speaker 4: Yes, in order to have dominate the most efficient insulation
system that we can devise to keep the liquid hydrogen
at its optimum temperature for our purposes. How low is
that in the range of minus two hundred and fifty
or seventy degrees that is centigrade.
Speaker 2: Of course, satur isn't hydrogen dangerous highly explosive.
Speaker 4: Oh, in this case, all precautions have been taken. There
is an outer layer of helium, which is a noble gas.
Noble the scientist's term for inert in. Beyond that, more
installation and two inches of lead against radiation than to
sustain the pressures, and can.
Speaker 2: You maintain that lower temperature indefinitely?
Speaker 4: The evaporation lot is very slight. It is renowned from
the tanks automatically meted by computer, which in turn is
programmed by man. Also there are manual controls as STANDI
inside of the cutsure, as you can see, is not
much than an ordinary burian tested. The lid is also counterweighted,
otherwise it would take four men to lift it. Of
course when it is closed. These lugged pressure locks all around,
which for a vacuum.
Speaker 2: Seal mine is exactly the same.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, you would like to see it.
Speaker 2: No, not necessary, I take your word for a doctor.
What about the compressor.
Speaker 4: Also backed up to others in case of any mechanical
failure that also is programmed in the computer.
Speaker 2: Doctor running like that? How many years? Could one last?
Speaker 4: Excuse me?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 4: I was I was only testing the system. And since
we are nowhere here the desire temperatures, the compressor runs constantly.
Once minus two hundred and fifty has been reached, the
compressor would automatically cut out like an ordinary air conditioner.
It would not cut in again to the temperature arose
to us amosthetically determined level. Actually it would run very little.
A machine like this might operate anywhere from her one
hundred to a thousand years. Any more questions, mister.
Speaker 2: Eachud, No, I'm no physicist or physician, Doctor Berkeley. I'll
leave all that up to you.
Speaker 4: Well, I can promise you from the moment your wife
is dead, she could be no safer anywhere else in
the world.
Speaker 2: When my wife.
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 6: What a price to pay for total safety?
Speaker 4: Well, doing that singles the price. Now, remember you, with
my help, are going to make sure I mortr doctor.
Speaker 2: They say I have most of the money in the world.
It's over statement, but I have enough. If immortality can
be bought, I will spend it all.
Speaker 5: Yes, Shirley, Yeah, Shirley.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 5: Oh? The boss is hotline?
Speaker 2: Hello Bill Porter, mister Richard Bill, Oh, yes, sir.
Speaker 5: All right, listen carefully.
Speaker 2: I want you to drop everything and come straight down
to the island by helicopter, red light all the way
I got you, Miss Richard. The chopper will pick you
up at the Union will place. Don't want to know
that you're going or that.
Speaker 5: You're missing Roger.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the saf file combination of
you ready, ready, So don't write it down now. I'll
remember twenty five left eight right, one full rep plus
ten left, six left, three right. I'll repeat it twenty
five left eight right, one full rep plus ten left,
six left three right. Okay, bring all the contents, Oh Tan,
do one more thing.
Speaker 4: I want you to bring someone with you?
Speaker 5: Who?
Speaker 2: Oh dor fleming Maggie, has anything gone wrong with missus
Richard's having the baby or something?
Speaker 3: Don't have questions?
Speaker 5: Could you bring her?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I guess if it's important enough.
Speaker 2: But it's a short notice. Are you still going to
be married? Well, that's the greeneral notion. Maybe we could
have a wedding down here, bringing up close for the week. Well,
mister Richards, media God, I'm I'm committed to all the way,
not only because you're my bread and butter, but because
well I'm committed now now, Maggie, I don't control unless
there's something seriously wrong with essay. Tell her that this
all have to be undercover. I'll explain when you get here.
In for heaven's sake, do all I've.
Speaker 5: Asked you to. Yes, Shirley, light was up, so.
Speaker 7: I knew you were talking to Shirley.
Speaker 5: I can't see anyone this morning. I have a lot
of things to do.
Speaker 6: But I think you will say this, lady.
Speaker 7: It's doctor Margaret Fleming, Maggie.
Speaker 2: Not for the love of Pete Sender right in, Hey, Maggie,
come here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, a little more like I'm not used to cooling.
Speaker 7: My heels, Darling, watch my rib can?
Speaker 5: Oh? Oh, what are you doing here?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 6: I had a morning clinic at the hospital. I got
an early break. Huh, a little shopping to do it.
I passed by your imposing billing and I said to myself,
right up, what's wrong it?
Speaker 2: Tamma by the window. We have to talk.
Speaker 6: You mean someone else is bugging you besides me?
Speaker 2: Now drop drop it? Joke times over. Listen, Maggie, Honey,
I'm on red.
Speaker 5: Alert and so are you. What is it?
Speaker 8: Bill?
Speaker 5: We'll secrets both of us pat for a week.
Speaker 2: Is of the minute before last report to the island
to be a helicopter pick up.
Speaker 5: Soonest, what's gone wrong?
Speaker 6: Did Felicia miscarry or something?
Speaker 5: I don't know the answer to anything.
Speaker 2: How can you bug out just like that without a
lot of questions?
Speaker 6: Yes, as it happens, I can. That's why I'm floating free.
Is of the moment I've been writing Felicia. I don't
get any answers, And I made up my mind. I
was going down at a dig up some myself.
Speaker 2: Well i'll go pack some stuff, and you were the
same and meet me. Uh, how about knowing that the
information books the terminal?
Speaker 6: Yes, of course it's crazy. But then everything you do
with my brother in law is only for some reason.
This time, I'm scared. You brought enough luggage for a
month there it's going to be very formal.
Speaker 5: Well, my bag isn't all personal.
Speaker 2: I had to tell you where the bulk of it is.
Why where do you might hijack the plane and dup
me for good and savor of it?
Speaker 6: What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't really know. Something big, something really way out
as crooked. N I don't like this trip, neither do I.
Speaker 6: I'm worried about my sister.
Speaker 2: I will soon find out there's the island, got ahead,
We'll be dropping down out at the ny moment. That's
a safe lover, and do a little prying.
Speaker 6: Why isn't a dangerous landing?
Speaker 2: There isn't a landing that's worrying me. It's why we're
making it.
Speaker 6: How is it, Madame Monsieur?
Speaker 2: No better.
Speaker 5: But no world?
Speaker 2: At least there is no pain that we can't control it.
Yet if there were a god in heaven.
Speaker 9: Hush sure for you to say, I think that is
blasphemy and of old place.
Speaker 2: It's not in front of him, my inestimable ancestor, Richard
the red handed?
Speaker 5: Why do you keep his thoughts with hanging his murder thief?
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's a part of the family line
that to take it down would leave a gap in
a succession decides. Ever, since I grew up on my
occasional visits to the island, he was a valuable object
lesson to me because he is your opposite. Well, certainly
not in looks, especially since I grew this beer in
his soul.
Speaker 9: This man was all depravity.
Speaker 2: It's product of this times. Perhaps did you want me
for something?
Speaker 5: Wess?
Speaker 9: The girl with the Great wing approaches he should be
landing by now.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know the pilot short waived me he was
on approach. Did you send Michael to meet them at
the pad.
Speaker 9: With Pierre to bring the bags?
Speaker 2: Where did they see put Maggie doctor Fleming next to
missus Richard and mister Porter next to the bedroom that
I'm using. Now I must go downstairs and talk to
them immediately. I'm going to be blunt and waste no time,
partly because in my view there is none to waste,
and mainly because the surgeon's knife has to be swift
and sure. First, Felicia is not having a baby.
Speaker 5: Miss Garrett, Oh, I was afraid.
Speaker 2: There never was any baby. That was just a general
cover so we could disappear from you. The truth is
you must know that it is as hard for me
to tell you as for you to hear time. The
optic nerve is a melanomic tumor cancer that is neither
operable nor reversible. That means you'll be blind in a
matter of days. She isn't dead before that. In either case,
death is inevitable. I want to see, of course you will,
but first I must ask you to understand and to
help us. We have only been waiting for this, for
you to get here. This will be the last time
you see your sister.
Speaker 5: What do you mean.
Speaker 2: I mean that once you have said your goodbyes, I
have said mine. Felicia and I have agreed that she
will be placed under radical hypothemia in suspended animation before
she did, the greater chance for recovery when she has
revived in the future, by a time a cure for
her condition can have been perfected and she can be
returned to life.
Speaker 6: I want a minute. I'll have you stopped.
Speaker 2: Everything is ready. You're isolated on this island until I
arranged to have you taken off.
Speaker 6: I warn you if you do this.
Speaker 2: Richard, I'll have you arrested for Murder'll be rather hard
to do, since once Solicia is successfully put to sleep,
I shall follow her. If we die, we die together.
But if she is to wake some day, she wants
as much as I do for me to be there.
How White, I'm as chief, You're as good as committing suicide,
not if you believe as I do. I'm only using
all of my money for something worthwhile. I am buying
the woman I love, the peace of the future, and
my right to share it with her.
Speaker 3: Well, here is such a tangle of hope, love, danger,
and wish fulfillment that it could vie with a Gordian
knot as a puzzle to Untie. We'll take a little
more time and consideration to approach it.
Speaker 2: I'll return shortly.
Speaker 3: With that too already and not, as I'm sure you
will remember, was never unraveled. Alexander the Great solved the
problem by simply taking his sword and slicing the knot
in Twain, a quick and easy remedy to a tantalizing
and difficult problem. But can this one be solved as easily?
Speaker 6: I still think you must be mad Ras.
Speaker 2: Sorry to hear that, Maggie. It's your specialty of psychiatry,
but I can assure you that you are mistaken.
Speaker 6: Even admitting some techniques have been perfected to preserve the body,
there's no way to return it to full life.
Speaker 2: Not now, but within the next fifty hundred years. Who
knows what techniques will be devised. So even a thousand,
if those techniques are developed, they cannot be used on
a body that is decomposed to death. Maggie, please let
me take you down and show you the lab that
we have built the preparation and precautions that have been taken.
Have you met doctor Berkeley?
Speaker 6: No, what's the difference. It's all impossible, as Bill can
tell you, under the circumstances, no doctor would issue a
death certificate.
Speaker 2: There may be no need for death certificates.
Speaker 6: I give up for the moment. I want to see Licia.
That's all I care about.
Speaker 2: Now you may on one condition, what that you discuss
none of this with her? Now wait a minute, chill,
stay out of this now, I can't ross damn it, Maggie,
and I'm going to be married. But this is all
in a family exactly, which is where I wanted to stay. Maggie, please,
for Felicia's sake, she's understandation, barely avoiding excruciating pain, and
she has no illusions. How hopeless her case is. This
is her decision more than mine, and I have to
ask you, for God's sake, as you believe in him,
not to tell her that I plan to join her.
You know she'd rather die in hopeless agony than think
her illness would stop my present life. You don't ask much,
do you?
Speaker 6: All right? If I can have a quid pro quo,
But I will say nothing of our conversation together here
today if you promise to take no action until we've
discussed this again.
Speaker 2: Granted that one moment. I'll that time to Marie. Show
you up.
Speaker 6: Oh that old lady who read it? That's when we
came in.
Speaker 2: Yes, how old is she?
Speaker 6: Where does she come from?
Speaker 2: She's from Martinique. She's been in the family employees since
before I was born. We used to have large holdings
in the Caribbean centuries ago. I suppose Tanta Marie is
descended from some of the servants who came back with
my original ancestor who bought this islum. She looks at
least one hundred. I wouldn't be surprised if she were entred.
Tanta Marie. Ah, this is my wife's sister, doctor Margaret Fleming.
Will you take her up to see missus Richard.
Speaker 9: My don Lily do too, if you will come with me.
Speaker 2: Thank you, remember our agreement.
Speaker 6: I won't forget.
Speaker 9: I'll tell you.
Speaker 6: You've been with mister Richard's family a long time, Tonta Marie.
Speaker 5: Ell since.
Speaker 6: Ever since I first came to this house, and you
stay here always.
Speaker 9: I stand God, Thank God for what of the past,
the present and the future.
Speaker 6: Here I make my home.
Speaker 9: If Madame lit doctor would work the stairs, of course,
it must see.
Speaker 6: Very lonely in this great, huge old house.
Speaker 9: There are others who watch with me.
Speaker 4: Michel Pierre Valjean.
Speaker 6: We are needed here.
Speaker 4: To the left, if you.
Speaker 8: Please, Oh this gallery of magnificent are these old portraits
of the family, from the first to the president, mister Risha.
Speaker 9: Before they became America. They were of the British nobility.
Speaker 6: Which was the first American for the last Englishman.
Speaker 9: There before you.
Speaker 6: But that could be North himself. I mean, I mean,
that could be the present.
Speaker 5: Mister Richard.
Speaker 9: What an incredible resemblance. You see only the out look
or what the artist means That one was the devil incarnate.
He died three hundred years ago.
Speaker 6: My sisters, in that portrait.
Speaker 9: I think for a wounded little girl. She was too
sick when she came here to see or know much.
Speaker 6: She's so ill.
Speaker 9: We my Dame the doctor, I am an old woman
without your education, your knowledge. But the shore of death
he's about her shoulders.
Speaker 2: Bill, did you bring the power of attorney? Yes, all right,
let's start with that. I wanted to be.
Speaker 6: A full power.
Speaker 2: You mean attorney in fact, with total powers over all
my affairs personal or business. Wow, well, I don't know
about that. First off, shouldn't be mister deep Deep is
too old thell I want a young man like yourself last,
maybe long enough till I get back in whom I
can trust. Absolutely well, you can trust me. But what
come on? Gee, this is a pretty wild ride if you.
Speaker 10: Went through it this.
Speaker 2: Are you legally dead or are you alive? Or then?
Speaker 5: Where does Felicia stand?
Speaker 2: Felicia is as good as dead right this moment. I
want to spare her the agony of waiting for that
to be legal. That's just the point, sheep, honest, that
there's so many legal arguments here. It's like all those
angels dancing on the head of a pin, and what's
the use of getting into them cryogenics Phrasing someone after
they're legally dead, that's one thing. There's no law against it.
But what you're trying to suggest to contemplate, there's just
no way. Please don't fight me, help me. You know
how much I love Felicia and nothing else matters. I'd
give my life for hers. All I'm asking you to
do in friendship and in the name of love is
to help me protect her and give her the only
last chance I know to live.
Speaker 7: Juli Shah, excuse me, but he says, madam, you go.
Speaker 2: Quick, I think, get doctor Berkeley, get him up the
fast call from him. Yes, must What is the time
of my race? The beautiful one had of fight?
Speaker 5: She said, Maggie, Maggie, what happened?
Speaker 6: She's she's dead? Oh, Phil, we only had this little
time together, Maggie.
Speaker 2: What what happened.
Speaker 11: Therese?
Speaker 6: Melanomas? They they go wild?
Speaker 2: Was the I mean it was doctor Berkeley here?
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, he didn't expect it.
Speaker 2: Now what's He's.
Speaker 6: Gone downstairs to the I don't know, the vaults, the
crypt to arrange with his assistance for profusion.
Speaker 2: I mean they're going ahead with what the chief wanted anyway.
Speaker 5: But it makes no difference.
Speaker 6: No, it's all perfectly legal.
Speaker 5: Is there some way I can help Gotlish?
Speaker 4: Not her anymore?
Speaker 5: But Ross?
Speaker 2: What about him?
Speaker 6: I hope when this form of burial he wants is
over with, we can try to help him. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Well, what do you mean?
Speaker 6: It's like a wild man.
Speaker 2: He chased all of us out of the bedroom to
be alone with with flush.
Speaker 6: I tell you, Darling, the only thing that's keeping you
from going completely to pieces is my concern about him.
Speaker 5: Do you think he's Blondis I mean that he's not insane?
Speaker 6: I think that Ross has always what the tight edge
of being schizoed. I just hope he hasn't slipped over
and become paranoia.
Speaker 2: Where is he now?
Speaker 6: Alone with lysh Hadyboddy go up there?
Speaker 5: No, don't leave him alone.
Speaker 6: He has the right to vent his own sorrow in
his own way, alone with his wife. I'll be tired, Bill, Darling,
because of this ship, and because I hope and pray
if Ross is left alone he can find his own release.
Speaker 11: M hmm, let me shout.
Speaker 4: We should.
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: The doctor says, it doesn't make all the difference that
are alive. I'll take you downstairs myself. I look you away.
Speaker 6: I wasted.
Speaker 5: You are, Darling.
Speaker 2: Wherever you are, don't be a friend.
Speaker 5: You will be a long long Then you will be back.
Speaker 2: Here again some day with me.
Speaker 5: Soon.
Speaker 2: As soon as I get you downstairs, we'll save your
will make you immortal.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 2: There is no god. I can take someone like you
for noism. I renounce him on this island.
Speaker 6: I alone and.
Speaker 4: God, uh, it's better relation last from the chains of centuries,
A fellow reprobate and recanter. God, welcome, nephew.
Speaker 2: Who is that who spoke?
Speaker 4: Look on your likeness in the portraits, the one who's
name you bear. See the life in my eyes?
Speaker 2: I must be going mad. I have no time for delusion,
quite right, no time to spare on me.
Speaker 4: Now say to your wife, But once you have commended
her to the physician's care, I will make a pact
with you.
Speaker 3: Pet.
Speaker 4: Yes, find me where I lie in the tomb, and
in return to my reader my life again, I will
give you the secret of all life.
Speaker 2: How long are I going to be down there?
Speaker 6: It's a long process.
Speaker 5: I don't understand.
Speaker 6: The blood has to be removed and stored, the body
perfused with glysceral or some such substance. The only thing
is ross.
Speaker 5: I'm so worried.
Speaker 2: About what forgetted you, because affairs are all in aud
of them. Just to set your mind at rest, I'll
check them out. Okay, all right, all right, good night, love,
Try to get some wrestling.
Speaker 4: All right, she said, you, gentlemen, lift her into the kiss.
Get carefully.
Speaker 5: Gee, you are right fill. What the hell are you
doing here?
Speaker 6: Get back upstairs.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure that everything.
Speaker 2: Is all right as it can be. You can shore
back there.
Speaker 5: I'll see you in the morning.
Speaker 4: All right, close the cat now, please please one moment,
mister Richard. I don't want to lose any more refrigeration
than we have already lost.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, do what you must do. Clause
the need.
Speaker 4: Everywhere. Letsit, mister Richard. We have done all that human
hands can do. From now on, the computer takes over all.
Speaker 2: Right, then get out of here, all of you. I
want to be alone with my wife.
Speaker 4: Kay. I've a clock of the morning, just before dawn,
an action in time for our business. Before you wait,
my ten generation, have you let us be off of you?
I too, once loved a woman up Princess I stole
from Martinique, bringing her heard and his ship heel I
built along with a faithful serving woman. He eats its crown.
You now called doctor Marie I, but I tired of
the marcury to not be a curse with her consciency.
You are right throw her into the sea. My stupidity
was not realizing that having traffic with Evans, I had
made myself vulnerable to them. The woman dont to marie
yourselful run. I pushed the savudo because she killed me.
Even if your wife was killed. Stepped from the eye,
and I wet some image by a golden nail driven
into my brain. Find me where I lie in my tomb,
in this same ripped it reposed the golden spot. Then
shall return in reward. Off are you the secret of
all lines?
Speaker 3: Ross Richards searches the shells and niches of the crypt
that stretches into the shadows. At length he finds a casket, and,
sneering away the dust, reads, Sir Ross Richard, he that
was called the red handed.
Speaker 2: With an effort, he opens the ancient coffin.
Speaker 3: In the bottom of it lies no evidence of a corpse,
only a small crude figure of a waxen doll with
a golden spike driven into one eye and through the brain.
I shall return in a moment without free for a
long moment, Ross Richard looks down on the ludicrous sight
of that primitive doll transfixed through the brain, then, slowly,
with instinctive distaste and a ripple of fear, down his
spine at the ancient evil it suggests. He lifts it
from the coffin, and suddenly, once again, the voice, so
like his own, is sounding insistently in his ear.
Speaker 4: You have are shelve if you want to try flight it,
pull out to me the spy and stay frame.
Speaker 2: Why not? I have nothing to lose anymore? Very well?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 11: What was that.
Speaker 4: Ahead of vodo? Woman in despair that I have triumphed? Last?
They put the aside. I will take care of her lighter.
Now there is our fact.
Speaker 2: You have freed me. I must beeling mad. I can
see your ship standing before me, double sore, a ghost
out of.
Speaker 5: The perth rayborn.
Speaker 4: But no longer go.
Speaker 2: You promised me the secret of all life, the awfool.
Speaker 3: You to trust me, for I shall have it?
Speaker 5: Not you womin.
Speaker 4: Can you see me anymore?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Because I have already occupied your body and cast you out.
How could you have trusted me? Pultrone headiots sentimental ast.
The secret of life is to own a body, as
I now own yours, leaving you to wander as I
have between heaven and l God help me renounce start
and just help the devil as his advocate. I claim
your body never to light? All right, buddy, is mad.
Speaker 5: Oh, I won't let you.
Speaker 3: I can't stop mee.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 5: What's wrong? Let him alone? Some kind of teaser.
Speaker 6: I'll I need a help, darning looking like the first
cabinet the auto place just beyond. Okay, it's some kind
of a teazer.
Speaker 5: Help me out. Well back rightflee.
Speaker 2: Sug here's high boy that helped me.
Speaker 5: Help?
Speaker 6: Okay, now okay, there should take hold in a minute.
Speaker 5: Oh what happened to him, Maggie.
Speaker 6: Just what I was afraid of? He's gone over the edge.
The question is, and to what.
Speaker 12: O, great serpent, whose head reaches high above the clouds,
and whose tail is buried in.
Speaker 7: The darkest deep of disease? I command and conjured you
in the.
Speaker 2: Dread and dark name of Voodu, to appear before thy
faithful servant in her agony, in her terror.
Speaker 6: And to answer all questions.
Speaker 7: In whatsoever form shall please you, so that I must
know what to do with the devil man I conquered
in your name four thousand moons ago, and who now
walks abroad amongst us. Again hear me. I beg you
and tell me if my time is come at last, and.
Speaker 6: If not, what is my turn?
Speaker 2: Murrie douta Marie.
Speaker 4: Dot hurree.
Speaker 7: The muster.
Speaker 3: Master quit?
Speaker 6: Can you hear me?
Speaker 7: I hear you?
Speaker 5: Where are you?
Speaker 2: I do not know? In Spain nowhere, Frankness, I have
cut out, got out of my own body.
Speaker 6: Buy the red handed one, your ancestor.
Speaker 4: Yes, de tricked me.
Speaker 2: I've found the booktoo, doll in his coffin, and I
pulled the pin from his head.
Speaker 6: Ah ah, I do it.
Speaker 7: I could see it because it was torn from my
own brain.
Speaker 6: So I can't aloud in pain and feel and to warn.
Speaker 2: You, I hurt your cry, but it was too great.
Speaker 7: Where did you leave the doll, muster and the golden knail?
Speaker 2: I don't know, in the coffin, by the coffin when
his form appears.
Speaker 7: If they out, is there? I can return your soul
to your body to cast out it.
Speaker 2: Fire the doll before he.
Speaker 3: Fire the doll.
Speaker 6: Fire the doll.
Speaker 4: I the doll and the doll. I've got to find
the doll.
Speaker 5: Be make it easy. It's all right.
Speaker 6: Who are you, Maggie?
Speaker 4: I know no, Maggie. Yeah, what holds me down?
Speaker 5: Mean Bill?
Speaker 6: He's going.
Speaker 4: Stand? You must tell me how beg girl? You are
against me, against me I can't find the doll.
Speaker 5: HI say that I'm threatened.
Speaker 4: You see the danger. I must find the doll?
Speaker 5: Long good?
Speaker 6: What what?
Speaker 5: What's wrong with them? Maggie?
Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean, I can't answer it right away. Bill.
It's some sort of form of schizophrenia compulsion neurosis, except
the convulsions are not classic symptoms. There may be a
somatic problem, some neurological complication. I I really don't know.
Speaker 5: When we got here.
Speaker 6: Last night, my brother in law told me that it
was his intention to have his sister perfused and put
under radical hypothermia before she died.
Speaker 5: That was his intention.
Speaker 6: Would you have done that for him? Doctor?
Speaker 5: I am an old man.
Speaker 4: The last best part of a long life has been
in the study of cryogenics. I believe with all my
heart that we stand on the threshold of a breakthrough.
Speaker 2: Could I have used.
Speaker 4: This technique on Missus Richard that she'd been alive? I
don't know. Fortunately I did not have to face the temptation.
Speaker 6: And what about Ross himself, a.
Speaker 4: Young man in the full video of health? That is
another question, no more than any other position. Do I
pretend to be God?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: You are not ready for that yet, if ever, you need,
have no concern as long as mister Richard is alive.
Speaker 6: Thank you, doctor, That's all I wanted. Now, come on, Belle,
why would you go to get in touch with the mainland?
Ross got to be taken to a hospital with four
facilities and have his condition evaluated.
Speaker 2: Where's the phone? Is someone who should donta marie monsieur?
Speaker 6: The doctor? We want to find a phone.
Speaker 9: That is in the Master's home where I do not
know it is hidden. Have in your hand I voodoo doll,
the muster fad and the golden nail that he took
from his head.
Speaker 3: But what the master is with?
Speaker 7: The doctor?
Speaker 9: How is he?
Speaker 6: He's quite sick, Tunt Murray. That's why we need the
telephone to get a helicopter here to take him to
a real hospital.
Speaker 3: Hospital cannot hear.
Speaker 2: His sickness is of the soul.
Speaker 4: He does not live in his own body.
Speaker 6: Bill and and and if he doesn't, then who does?
Speaker 5: Come with me?
Speaker 9: I will show you.
Speaker 2: I don't think there could be anything to that old
game's claim about the picture.
Speaker 6: I think quite possibly there could keep looking for that phone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, you can't be serious.
Speaker 6: I don't believe in voodoo bumbo jumbo. But in Ross's
state of mind, he might have it could have been
y real to him.
Speaker 2: You mean, because he's half lost the track anyway, this might.
Speaker 6: Have been enough to knock him all the way something
like that. Now I've got it, I've got it. Where
where in the closet?
Speaker 5: What's the matter?
Speaker 6: No tone here, listen, the line's dead.
Speaker 2: This is worse than you.
Speaker 6: Is there any other way off this island?
Speaker 5: And there are boats in a channel.
Speaker 2: If you can.
Speaker 6: Navigate it, why can't you?
Speaker 2: You have to see it to believe it. There must
be someone on the island who can get through, besides
Ross himself.
Speaker 6: Let's go find him.
Speaker 13: Oh goody and living serpents, I offer up to you
this waxen candle as the light of your eyes to
see the obedience I offer.
Speaker 6: In your name.
Speaker 13: Here is the doll, the living representation of the living devil,
who must see destroyed. And here is the instrument, the
golden male, which I take in thy name.
Speaker 7: To strike into the brain and soul of our enemies,
and to free my master. Once it is done.
Speaker 6: Bring me back to thee, for I am willing.
Speaker 11: Give me a sign, Oh great serpent, s I come on,
I say, yes.
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 4: I have been looking for you?
Speaker 6: Well, well you do hard, but we're trying to make
arrangements to get off the island.
Speaker 5: What is it, mister Richard?
Speaker 4: He he died suddenly in one huge convulsion. I don't
know what happened.
Speaker 5: Anyone smell anything burning?
Speaker 2: Yes, you spose the story lightning that does in the
tatacom coming from upstairs.
Speaker 11: Co on, what did it?
Speaker 5: Bill?
Speaker 4: God?
Speaker 5: The maurice said it was the light and challem, how
room to see a fire?
Speaker 6: Can we put it out out like a four.
Speaker 5: Farmer the fireport.
Speaker 2: We gotta get out of here before this whole place
was up like a bond fire.
Speaker 5: You got so close we would try at the lord.
Speaker 7: Perhaps I am being punner.
Speaker 10: He's got king if everyone out of here? What do
you mean with all my precautions, I never thought of
this kind of fire. He degenerates enough enough need to
melt through to the hydrogen, which isn't only the house,
but put the whole is the whole island that could
blowsky high.
Speaker 5: They became everywhere like some Cadamary Lesson and Ross.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: They wanted to make that island their grave the mister
and missus Richard, I mean ironic, isn't it? Instead of
being fazen this and the better chance of being insinulated.
Speaker 5: It means you think the hydrogen tax.
Speaker 6: Me ah.
Speaker 5: Les your answer?
Speaker 4: Or maybe maybe it is the answer that those who
fly in the face of God only caught destruction.
Speaker 6: At least wherever rosalliciabon, they can be together. Now, what
more could any of us ask from the future than
to share it with those we loved.
Speaker 3: A strange, tortuous story, and one that, in spite of
all the pyrotechnics, really has no ending. I can only
leave you with nothing but questions. I have no answers.
Is there anyone who does? I'll be back shortly.
Speaker 2: When the fire back drafted to the.
Speaker 3: Ground floor, the whole blazing inferno suddenly collapsed to make
a grate out of the catacombs. The lead coffins were
fused to tangle lumps of metal, and Ross and his
bride at no more future than you or I, wherever
we go when death finds us at last. Our cast
included Marion, Solvislandel Kramer, Jack Grimes and Potoniac and Leon Janny.
The entire production was under the direction of Hymon Brown.
This is E. G. Marshall inviting you to return to
our Mystery Theater for another adventure in the macabre. Until
