1
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,039
Speaker 1: Come in.

2
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:21,719
Speaker 2: Welcome.

3
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm a g.

4
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: Marshall.

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,679
Speaker 1: In his Immortal Comedy of Manners, William Congreve wrote, Heaven

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,399
hath no rage like love to hate returned, nor hell

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,200
a fury like a woman scorned. That was over two

8
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,399
hundred years ago. Have matters changed in the intervening centuries?

9
00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:52,600
Judge for yourself in this story which happens today.

10
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: Mark, who is it? Dear?

11
00:00:55,679 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: I got to a sound asleep, all those pills.

12
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:03,159
Speaker 3: Something woke me for the moment. I don't know why

13
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:08,200
came alive. So suddenly some along man in me which.

14
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Will never ring. You're not going to be alive?

15
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,519
Speaker 3: How are you doing with that?

16
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: Playing a fellow to your deestimony of my love?

17
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: No, Marty, you can't be serious.

18
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: It's all.

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: I'll not shake you up blood, nor scar that whiter

20
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:23,040
skin of yours than snow.

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: Yet you must die.

22
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: Put out the light, and then put out the light.

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,879
Speaker 1: If I can quench.

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:38,359
Speaker 4: Seem no more moving?

25
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:41,599
Speaker 2: Still is the grave?

26
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,599
Speaker 4: My wife, My Wife.

27
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Our mystery drama, Hell Hath no Fury was written especially

28
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,079
for the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars William Redfield,

29
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,879
Mark Stanton, and Emily Lawrence. The wedding of a decade,

30
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,680
the first a shining light of the classical theater, the

31
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:31,879
second a new, fresh and lovely star of the screen

32
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,840
who transcended any picture she illuminated, A public romance shared

33
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,479
avidly by the fans that ranks with Romeo and Juliet,

34
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,039
Elouise and Avalarde, Desdemona and Othello, and which is destined

35
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,639
to end as tragically.

36
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: But the starter.

37
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:54,439
Speaker 1: A story, one must have a beginning, not an ending.

38
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,919
So let's go back a few days before Emily Lawrence's

39
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,360
sudden and tragical debts, back to a meeting between Emily's

40
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:07,080
half sister Elsbeth Whitmore and Mark Stanton.

41
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: Who the devil? All right, Dodd, you better get your

42
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,039
clothes on and be ready to scoot. I'll give you

43
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,800
the high sign. Hand me my down, will you? Whoever

44
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,439
it is they aren't going to quit thanks to me.

45
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:33,120
Oh it's you. Where did you get a key, Elsabeth?

46
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,639
Speaker 3: One of the privileges of the family, even a half sister.

47
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,439
Speaker 2: Well, come in by ring the bell when you have

48
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:41,879
a key.

49
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,439
Speaker 3: I wanted to give you time to put your robe on.

50
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,879
Speaker 2: Oh I was just trying to snatch forty winks.

51
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,199
Speaker 3: Oh do I know her, didn't you used to go

52
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,680
unto the name of Tiger Tilly the jungle cat.

53
00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:58,199
Speaker 2: Funny, very funny, not.

54
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: To me, or would it be to my sister? I

55
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,080
get rid of remark. I want to talk to you.

56
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:05,599
I will be in the living room on the phone,

57
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,639
my back to the door, pretending your matinee curtain isn't

58
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:12,759
coming down early. But don't think I won't speak A

59
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:14,879
look at what's your style? This month's brother in law

60
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,560
be Elsis anything stirring?

61
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 5: Oh?

62
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:28,199
Speaker 3: How much? No? No, it's too low. They've got to

63
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:32,040
come up with seven hundred. Well let them ste on it.

64
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,800
I'll be back in the office soon. Hush or wait

65
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,439
a second, No, no, I was just looking at it

66
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,959
would be rising star. Listen if there's anything urgent. I'm

67
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,639
at my sister's apartment. It's listed under Mark Stanton on

68
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,160
the Rolodex, but it's still my sister's apartment.

69
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,319
Speaker 2: Bye, well Elsebeth. So what do I owe this rather

70
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:59,680
surprising early afternoon visit? I thought agents were always busied

71
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,639
lunch hours.

72
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: Sorry to disappoint you. We take a breather now and then,

73
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,439
don't you ever?

74
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

75
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:08,759
Speaker 3: We didn't I surprise you hard at work?

76
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Now, look, Eleanor brought me a new treatment she wanted

77
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,600
me to see. I'll bet she did a screen treatment,

78
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:15,079
a script.

79
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: Okay, Casanober, it's enough. Better. Are we alone in this joint? Now?

80
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,639
Speaker 1: Oh, don't tell me you want to open old books

81
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,319
between us.

82
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: No, this is a new one. We close the other

83
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:27,959
when you married.

84
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: My sister half sister?

85
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: Do you have to rub it in? I'm play flat

86
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,839
chested and no hardhat ever whistled at my legs. But

87
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:37,759
I still have brains.

88
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,079
Speaker 2: Who needs them?

89
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: When you have Emily's thirty six twenty four thirty six

90
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,240
and even the members of the Union League Club look

91
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:46,360
up from the Wall Street Journal when she moves by.

92
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,639
Speaker 3: Mark, sit down, I'm about to kick your feet from

93
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,040
under you.

94
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,319
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

95
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: It's a pity you met me before Emily, isn't it? Mark?

96
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,959
Speaker 2: And needed me?

97
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,959
Speaker 3: I beg you so without an agent and one who cared,

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,720
you were nothing but a stud. If I hadn't nursed

99
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:09,040
and supported you through speech lessons, singing lesson small parts

100
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,560
than nothing out of town than you.

101
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I may not have had much education, but I always

102
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:13,480
had talent.

103
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,959
Speaker 3: Oh, I'll grant you that, But you're lazy. And once

104
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:20,560
you met Emily and knew she had all the looks

105
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,120
and all the money, it was time to drop me.

106
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,639
But don't forget Emily's money comes from being a film star,

107
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,439
and I made her that.

108
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: Let's forget past history, Mark.

109
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,399
Speaker 3: Since I came back from Europe, I've been going over

110
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Emily's financial position.

111
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,879
Speaker 2: What right of youtae?

112
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: I happened to be her manager as well as her agent,

113
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:47,000
and I don't like what I see. Emily has never

114
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,600
made more in her life. You have never spent more.

115
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: We have a frog to keep up as two reigning stars.

116
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: Hogwash. You're a successful ham who draught suburban ladies with

117
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,000
delusions of culture and dream of vicarious god knows what

118
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,399
to the theater. You make peanuts compared to Emily, and

119
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,160
send the kind of money she makes.

120
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,519
Speaker 2: A temporary loan or two. I have some pictures in

121
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:09,920
the world.

122
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,199
Speaker 3: Come on, Mark, you couldn't draw flies to a movie theater,

123
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,720
even in an exploitation film.

124
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,279
Speaker 2: So I have.

125
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,959
Speaker 3: Talked it over with Emily, And as the Parry's woman

126
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:24,120
used to say, the buck stops here.

127
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

128
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm putting Emily on an allowance? Enough to take care

129
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,920
of her needs. You can handle the apartment in the rest,

130
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,439
but no more play money, little boy. And that's only

131
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,439
the beginning. The next thing I'm going after is her will,

132
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:45,160
the one that leaves everything to you. If anything she's

133
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,240
ever happened to my sister, I can think of better

134
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,800
causes for her estate to serve than Mark Stanton, the

135
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:59,839
heel of ham in the elevator. All my efforts to

136
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:04,879
stay calm and unruffled meeting Mark again dissipated into thin air.

137
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,879
Thank Heaven, I was alone. My knees turned to water,

138
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,399
thinking and dreaming of him as once it had been

139
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:17,160
between us. By the time I reached the ground floor,

140
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,160
I knew I needed another session with Madam Erexa.

141
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 6: Why do you imagine you can ever fail? You are

142
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,800
one of us, I have always thought, one of the

143
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:32,440
strongest in the Kovn.

144
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:38,039
Speaker 3: I never have doubts, except except in one area.

145
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 6: Every Achilles has his vulnerable hume, every witch her own weakness.

146
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,759
We must fight always against the world to hold the

147
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:55,879
true faith. Come, daughter, let us pray together, draw the

148
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:09,279
drapes while I light the candles. Now step within the

149
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:10,960
magic circle with me.

150
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: Yes or greater reck Though Mother office, all who crouched

151
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:21,240
in the black shadow of your wings.

152
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 6: I conjure the form of the instrument by Lucifer, Prince

153
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:33,200
of darkness, by all the stars which roll, by the

154
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,080
four elements that we may obtain, by the the perfect

155
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,120
issue of all our desires, which also receded through.

156
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: Perform without easier, without deception. We are answered, I know

157
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,039
what I'm doing is right, whether it turn out that way.

158
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,159
Will you read the tower cards for me?

159
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,039
Speaker 6: I am your sister, in said, I am at your command.

160
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:15,720
Sit down while I shuffled the cards. You know what

161
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,039
that means without asking.

162
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,879
Speaker 3: The king of coins A.

163
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 6: Sign of ill omen was the question asked for yourself.

164
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,759
Speaker 3: No, I will ask one for myself now.

165
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: Then cut.

166
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 6: The ace of cups. That is a promise of beauty

167
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,759
and fertility for me.

168
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: Eh, why not? You are young, ah, scarcely beautiful. Oh?

169
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:55,879
One more question one only I am acting it in

170
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:05,159
my mind. Cut the card of death, the nine of swords. No,

171
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:09,600
not my sister, Not my sister.

172
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:17,919
Speaker 2: I love you, Emily, I love you Mark.

173
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:23,039
Speaker 3: Oh, now I feel relaxed and homely.

174
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: Good good Elspeth was around this afternoon, yea oh, being

175
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,600
the big business manager saying we were spending too much money.

176
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: She's smarter than we are about things like that.

177
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,879
Speaker 2: Yes, but is she really putting you on a strict allowance?

178
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 6: Well, I guess I'll have to go along with her.

179
00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:45,080
She says, I'm starting to spend more than I make. Now,

180
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,320
how is that awesoble?

181
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,039
Speaker 1: Maybe you need a new business manager.

182
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: Oh, nobody would be better than else. Besides, she's started

183
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,279
to make a living too, and who would I get?

184
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: Well, how about me?

185
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: Oh?

186
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:01,399
Speaker 3: Telling you you have no idea of the value of money?

187
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:03,159
Speaker 2: Oh, when I'm old and penniless.

188
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: And if, in his infinite mercy the man upstairs saves

189
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,360
you from looking at me anymore and snatches.

190
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: You upstairs for himself. Else, that tells me she'll be

191
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,879
my guardian.

192
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,039
Speaker 3: Well, she does want me to make a new will,

193
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,679
and it wouldn't be a bad idea. We're both so

194
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,759
stupid about how to handle what we've got and if

195
00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:23,840
anything ever should happen to me, Oh.

196
00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: Darling, please, I was only kidding.

197
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,279
Speaker 4: Let's get off this.

198
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: No, as long as we got on it, I think

199
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,480
Elsberoth has the right idea. She'd see you didn't throw

200
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:36,519
it all away, So I agreed I'm going to remake

201
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,559
my will on Monday. Now I've got to wash up,

202
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,440
and you go tell the cook to get that dinner

203
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,399
on the table. I am banished.

204
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,279
Speaker 2: Well, that tears it Elsbeth, Emily. One of you has

205
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,120
got to go. Now, let's see which shall it be?

206
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:57,039
Which can I get away with.

207
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: A charming fellow?

208
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,279
Speaker 1: Mark Stanton matinee Idol for a limited audience of aging women.

209
00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:12,600
His main role Romeo, although he has been seen with

210
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:16,759
varying success critically as Orlando, Bassanio, Lysander.

211
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 5: All Shakespearean lovers.

212
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,759
Speaker 1: Interesting casting when you think of it, or as we

213
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,720
learn about him, he might have made a better Claudius,

214
00:13:25,759 --> 00:13:29,240
of whom his nephew Hamlet said that one may smile

215
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,320
and smile again and.

216
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,799
Speaker 2: Be a villain.

217
00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I'll be back shortly with that too. A famous epitaph

218
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:51,639
on a child's grave reads, it is so soon that

219
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:56,039
I am done for, I wonder what I was begun for.

220
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,240
That might apply to this story of Emily Stanton, or

221
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:03,039
at least a plan that is forming in the mind

222
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:09,559
of her husband Mark. The problem with murder is not

223
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:12,919
to want to commit it, but how how to commit

224
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:13,679
it not be caught.

225
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: One thing I.

226
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: Knew it would have to be out of the city,

227
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,480
and fortunately we have a place up the Hudson Valley,

228
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,720
suitably isolated. Also by sheer luck, Emily's.

229
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,919
Speaker 2: Picture was not shooting that weekend.

230
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: Ooh, what time is it? Mark? Mark?

231
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:38,919
Speaker 5: Did you call my lady?

232
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:41,799
Speaker 3: What on earth are you doing up at five dirty

233
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,480
in the morning?

234
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:46,159
Speaker 1: Bringing the woman I adore beyond reason? Her orange juice

235
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:47,799
and coffee is on the way.

236
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,879
Speaker 3: Oh you angel, Thanks welcome. I'm so tired. I don't

237
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:54,679
know how I'm going to make it to the studio today.

238
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:56,679
Speaker 2: I'll call them and tell them you're not well.

239
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:59,639
Speaker 6: No, No, two more days, and I have a whole

240
00:14:59,799 --> 00:15:01,919
long on three day weekend off.

241
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: I'll bounce back then.

242
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:06,799
Speaker 1: Speaking about the weekend, how about going up to the country.

243
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:10,279
Speaker 3: No thanks, I want to just slump down here in

244
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,279
bed and sleep and rest and hold in like a

245
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,679
bear for his winter sleep.

246
00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: Oh but darling, it isn't winter. It's spring, and I

247
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:21,360
want to get up to the house that long drive.

248
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:22,559
Speaker 3: You see.

249
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: I'm worried.

250
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, I've got the whole dog in the fall.

251
00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:27,360
I've got to get that sump pump into the cellar

252
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:29,039
before the spring waters floods again.

253
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:30,759
Speaker 2: You can rest up there just as.

254
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: Well I can rest here, and we can get some

255
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,240
men to do the job.

256
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: Where were they last fall when we needed them?

257
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: Can't we make it next weekend?

258
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: Well it be too late by then.

259
00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: I'm afraid, all right, darling, I never can refuse you anything.

260
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,720
Everything I do is for you, have is yours.

261
00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: Except for letting your sister in our lives.

262
00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: Oh that's just money, because neither of us know how

263
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,320
to handle. What's it for?

264
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,399
Speaker 2: Except things? Mmmm? Well we can enjoy them.

265
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like a fool having to run

266
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:08,080
to Elspeth for the rent or something.

267
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: Are you trying to get rid of me?

268
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,519
Speaker 2: Well, of course not, darling. How could you think a

269
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:13,159
thing like that?

270
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,519
Speaker 3: I don't, so stop talking about it. You don't have

271
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,960
to do that. If I was dead, and I don't

272
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:20,799
intend to be.

273
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: I should hope not.

274
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: Look at the time, I've got his shower and dress

275
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,159
and get out of here.

276
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: How about lunch?

277
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: I can't, sweetie, I have a business appointment in this shower,

278
00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:39,120
I'm moan or two later, I wondered why I hadn't

279
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:43,120
told Mark my lunch was with elsp Then I decided

280
00:16:43,159 --> 00:16:46,200
it was better than I hadn't, and I wished I

281
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,440
hadn't agreed to dragging up to the country house. But

282
00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:54,000
he's really so beautiful and so sexy and so persuasive.

283
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,720
It's awfully hard to refuse Mark anything. If I'd only know,

284
00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:02,159
and I'd picked the wrongs to ever refuse, I'd never

285
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,000
let else with talk me into what she called having

286
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,440
more backbone. Emily, you can't get into everything Mark wants

287
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:09,880
or asks.

288
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: He's a selfish child.

289
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:13,759
Speaker 3: That isn't true. Else Look, honey, take it from me.

290
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,079
I found out the hard way. I'm sorry. I didn't

291
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,160
mean to bring all that up again. I'd forget it.

292
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,079
I've forgotten Mark that way plat us two side by side,

293
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,759
mask any man to choose which way would it go? Well.

294
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:26,839
I never have come back from the coast a year

295
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,960
ago if I'd known I was going to bust up

296
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,160
a romance between Emily. We've been over this ground before.

297
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,519
You didn't bust up the romance. There wasn't any to

298
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:37,920
bust up except on my side. Mark needed a good agent,

299
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,799
and he got me in more ways than one. So

300
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:44,720
beneath period, I'm still sorry. It hurts. I wish I

301
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,359
could make up for it. Well, you can two ways

302
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,680
draw that will making me executricks of your estate and

303
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:56,359
let me budget your dope. It seems unfair to Mark. Listen, Emily,

304
00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:58,480
I don't want you to get your back up, but

305
00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:00,680
I get the word he has damn deaths, and if

306
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,400
he thinks he has backing, you could go sky high. Now,

307
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,799
just let me put the brakes on. Okay. I suppose

308
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:10,519
it's too much to hope that your love for that

309
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,720
muscle bound Greek statue you're married isn't letting up any Mark.

310
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:19,240
What would make you think a thing like that? Oh,

311
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,119
I don't know, just uh an irrational hope. I guess

312
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,160
you still love, don't you. That isn't the point. I

313
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,200
love you, and I'm very concerned about you. What do

314
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,880
you mean? I don't know. You'd only laugh at me

315
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,200
if I told you. It's really funny, isn't it. I

316
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,119
mean the genes. We both come from the same mother,

317
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:51,240
but our fathers were so different. You blonde, blue eyed, open, uncomplicated, trusting,

318
00:18:52,680 --> 00:19:00,480
and me dark, brooding, sharp tongued much of this world

319
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:05,440
and yet not Now what does that mean? I could

320
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:10,799
never explain that to you in a millennium but I

321
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:14,240
am a psychicist. You mean like there's funny cards you

322
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,880
used to read and for telling what's going to happen,

323
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,240
and things like that. Yes, things like that, Emily listened

324
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,759
to me. This is a dangerous time for you. Be careful,

325
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,519
Just be very careful. But I don't know what you mean.

326
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:30,400
I can only see so far. I can only warn you.

327
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,599
Just be very careful. Now. You are scary, I mean

328
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,960
to well, it's known to you. It's just that I

329
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,359
have the weekend off and Mirk and I have under

330
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,319
the country. Ella, I really don't want to. I'm scared

331
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:50,519
of the drive. You mean because of mom and your father. Yes, Emily,

332
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:53,079
how many times have I told you it wasn't your fault.

333
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,519
Speaker 2: It was in the cards.

334
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: I was driving when they were killed, and a drunken

335
00:19:57,599 --> 00:20:00,559
madman by fatal chance, jumped the road to to enforced

336
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:02,319
you off the road. What else could you have done?

337
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,559
It was not your fault, I know, but I still

338
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,359
have nightmares about it. You're not going to drive, are you.

339
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,480
I'll never drive a car again. It's just I'm afraid

340
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:16,319
even to get into one. Now. Excuse me for changing

341
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,000
the subject, but you have to get back to the

342
00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:20,400
set soon. I want you to take a quick run

343
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,039
up to my office. What Harry is there now? I

344
00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:24,920
had him drow up and you will for you and

345
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,960
I think we ought to get it signed right away. Well,

346
00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:32,559
I don't know. Mark has sort of hurt Emily. If

347
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:36,160
anything ever happens to you, I will take care of

348
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,599
him the way he should be. You know you can

349
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,240
trust me.

350
00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:49,279
Speaker 2: For that, Emily. Yes, oh, you had your eyes closed.

351
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:50,160
I thought you were asleep.

352
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:52,319
Speaker 3: That's not why my eyes were closed.

353
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,079
Speaker 2: Ah, darling, come on, you've got to put things behind us.

354
00:20:55,599 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: I drive, it's just here in the first lane.

355
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: I want to get us home.

356
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: Move over, never travel in this bob, all right, all right,

357
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:04,880
I'm sorry.

358
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,759
Speaker 1: I'll cut right into the next night as soon as

359
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:10,079
the car behind me passes. Now, please, sweetheart, I want

360
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,720
you to relax, Just forget everything this weekend.

361
00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:19,039
Speaker 2: Just play possible, possible?

362
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: Would I have the nerve to do it? And beyond that,

363
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,240
could I really find the howl? As the hum of

364
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:29,880
the car soothed both of us, and Emily appeared really

365
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,039
to drop off to sleep.

366
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: Other things came to my mind. That damn cellar flooding

367
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,279
every spring when the surface water on frozen coming down

368
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:40,480
the hill defeated.

369
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:41,799
Speaker 5: Every trick we'd tried to keep it out.

370
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: The sump pump was the only answer, And suddenly, at

371
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,440
that moment, although it turned my stomach, there was the

372
00:21:53,519 --> 00:22:04,160
answer to my bigger problem.

373
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,599
Speaker 2: Else best you are very early.

374
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: I know the Covin does not meet until midnight.

375
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: I had to come.

376
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 3: I need a special reading. I have intimations of disaster.

377
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,279
Speaker 6: You remember all that one of my gifts is total recall.

378
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 3: The last question I asked turned up the Nine of Swords.

379
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,039
I asked about my sister. Oh, now I want to

380
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,880
know how soon when.

381
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 6: That is not always divulged. But let us tell the

382
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:44,920
gods and find out if we can, if you want,

383
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:50,720
if I want, Remember, there is no way of stopping

384
00:22:50,759 --> 00:22:52,200
what has been decreed.

385
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: Has it been a good weekend, darling? Oh?

386
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:01,759
Speaker 3: Yes, arrested so relaxed.

387
00:23:01,759 --> 00:23:02,079
Speaker 1: Good.

388
00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:05,319
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just as well I came. Did you get

389
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,640
everything down in the celling you want?

390
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,319
Speaker 1: Well? Yes, I had to do some more digging and

391
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,720
make the whole larger. But I have plenty of cement

392
00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:13,039
to finish up tomorrow.

393
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: Tomorrow, well that's Monday, right.

394
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: I thought you could drive down tonight.

395
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:20,759
Speaker 3: You know I won't think of ever driving again.

396
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:22,799
Speaker 2: All right, darling, all right, I'll drive you in the

397
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:24,279
morning and then drive back up.

398
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:26,799
Speaker 1: Now, come on, sweetie, I've taken off the phone so

399
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960
we won't be disturbed, and I'm going to carry you

400
00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:32,599
up to bed and tuck you in for the best

401
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,079
sleep you've ever had in your life.

402
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 3: I was so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open,

403
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:48,039
but some inner alarm, some nonsense voice, kept jogging at

404
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:51,759
me to stay awake, until I thought, it's so many tension,

405
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:57,440
foolish to be afraid. I am in my beloved husband's arms.

406
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,559
And how safe can I be? Is she still in danger?

407
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,519
Benign of swords?

408
00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:07,599
Speaker 2: Still cluttons?

409
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: But when? How soon?

410
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,839
Speaker 6: I cannot tell her from the cards.

411
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I should call the country.

412
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I use your phone, of course? What danger can

413
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,640
she be in with her husband?

414
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 3: It's a very long drive. I know what those roads

415
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:38,680
are like. Oh damn, what does the signal? At least

416
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,799
it means they got there safely. Still wait for the

417
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:43,720
mass tonight.

418
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 6: Within this circle more questions are answered than through the cards.

419
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: Be patient, I'll try, but I can feel deaf in

420
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:55,960
my bones.

421
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: Yes, you, I must die.

422
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: Put out the light, and then put out the light

423
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:15,400
if I can quench me, no.

424
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: No more moving Still there's the grave.

425
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: My wife, My wife.

426
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,519
Speaker 1: I must have been mad, Emily to have killed you,

427
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,759
because I do love you, only that.

428
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:39,599
Speaker 2: I love myself more for money, for the need of it.

429
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,000
What have I done? How do I cover it? Of course?

430
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: The car an accident, an accident with a car into

431
00:25:53,759 --> 00:25:55,759
the river at the devil's elbow.

432
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: But the body must never be recovered. Then who could

433
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,359
prove anything? A greeve is already made.

434
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,079
Speaker 3: Can I get away with it?

435
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: Of course I can. I can get away with anything.

436
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 3: What is it when you interrupt the mess? But death

437
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,759
has occurred? But death you prophise that I must leave?

438
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,640
Give me a permission to leave the magic circle?

439
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:34,279
Speaker 6: If the death is accomplished, what can you do but go?

440
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:42,519
Speaker 3: If you must, well try it again, operator or get

441
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:44,519
me someone who can make the connection. If it's out

442
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:47,440
of order. This is a matter of life and death.

443
00:26:53,759 --> 00:26:56,799
Speaker 1: Shame to waste a car I love on such a

444
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,000
night troilis climbed the Athenian walls.

445
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: Madness, The whole thing is madness. There has to be

446
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,240
a reason for Emily's death.

447
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,839
Speaker 1: The car smashing through the guard rail five hundred feet

448
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:14,240
to the river below. The car recovered the body never

449
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,000
I will bury that five fathoms deep.

450
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,599
Speaker 2: And why should anyone question that Emily's.

451
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,799
Speaker 1: Body lie cemented in the well of a new sump

452
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:39,279
pump planned over a year ago. So goodbye, my favorite car.

453
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: The dye is cast.

454
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 5: The adversaries established. A murderer and a witch.

455
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 2: By whom is justice best served?

456
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: Which will prevail if a woman has loved not wisely

457
00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:03,920
but too well? Who can best revenge her the majesty

458
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,240
and justice of the law or a kangaroo court beyond

459
00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:22,480
and outside the law. I'll return shortly with Act three.

460
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,240
Mark Stanton has deliberately murdered his wife, and he has

461
00:28:28,279 --> 00:28:31,279
had what seems to him a very practical means of

462
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:36,720
disposing of body and suspicion, which may work for normal authority,

463
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:40,559
but possibly not for his sister in law, since he

464
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,720
has no idea that she is a modern witch. For

465
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:49,680
the moment, he is involved with simple but furiously necessary occupations.

466
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,519
That looks pretty good pomp in its well, cellar fla placed.

467
00:29:01,319 --> 00:29:04,079
Who'dever find Emily or think to look for here?

468
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: What a devil you am? In the morning. Who damn

469
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,759
lights thrown upstairs? I had better answer a gotta change first.

470
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:24,519
Speaker 3: Well about time? I always seem to be surprising you

471
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:25,799
in on dissabinu.

472
00:29:26,519 --> 00:29:28,079
Speaker 2: What do you expect at this time of night?

473
00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:30,599
Speaker 3: All right, come in, that's about the first polite thing

474
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:31,200
you've said to me.

475
00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: Oh, let's cut the funny talk. What are you doing

476
00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:35,160
up here in the middle of the morning?

477
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: An interesting phrase? Shouldn't it be the middle of the night?

478
00:29:38,119 --> 00:29:40,759
Speaker 2: All right? All right, let's bury the New York smart talk.

479
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:44,079
What do you want to see my sister? She isn't here?

480
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,279
Speaker 3: Oh why not?

481
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: She had a five o'clock call on location for sunrise shots,

482
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,519
so she decided to drive back last night and had

483
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:56,119
the limousine taker on location this morning. What made you

484
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,079
take a two hour drive out here at this time

485
00:29:58,079 --> 00:29:58,440
of night?

486
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: I'll tell you half of it. I was scared. If

487
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:03,599
that means anything to you.

488
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,599
Speaker 2: Girl, it doesn't.

489
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: What's the other half?

490
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: I won't tell you that yet, although some day you

491
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:10,720
just might have to learn.

492
00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: I won't even pretend to understand that.

493
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: Oh excuse me, yes, yes, that's right, I'm I'm Mark Stanton.

494
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:23,279
Speaker 2: What where?

495
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: No, No, never mind all that?

496
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,519
Speaker 2: How is she No, I'll be right down there. What

497
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,559
was that, Emily? Her car went out of control at

498
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,079
at Devil's El No, she went through the guard rail,

499
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:36,799
plunged five.

500
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: Hundred feet down into the river. The car is a

501
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,200
total red Never mind the car? What about Emily?

502
00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: Whether I haven't found her yet? The car windows were opening.

503
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,079
If she got swept down the river and into the lake,

504
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:48,039
they may never find her.

505
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:49,839
Speaker 3: You will.

506
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,279
Speaker 2: She's dead.

507
00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: You don't have.

508
00:30:56,039 --> 00:30:58,119
Speaker 3: What else? A plunge like that?

509
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,319
Speaker 2: The car totaled?

510
00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: What else is it? Think? Nothing? Emily is dead?

511
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 4: What?

512
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:11,079
Speaker 1: That's a strange way to oh else? But I'm sorry.

513
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:15,839
Speaker 3: This must be terrible for you too. It is terrible

514
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,559
for me, but not too Huh What does that mean?

515
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,039
I mean you killed her? How could you.

516
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: Think a thing like that?

517
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:31,079
Speaker 3: I don't think I know, But it isn't going to

518
00:31:31,119 --> 00:31:33,799
do you any good? Hit worth all for nothing?

519
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:34,599
Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean?

520
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,599
Speaker 3: You will when I'm ready to tell you Right now,

521
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,160
Let's go to the scene of the what should we

522
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:47,119
call it? Mark, Let's just say the tragedy.

523
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,799
Speaker 5: Okay, Bolly, here's the crow viars Those doors open over

524
00:31:53,839 --> 00:31:55,799

525
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: Oh, mister Stanton. Yes, yes, that's right.

526
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: I'm missus Stanton's sister.

527
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:12,079
Speaker 5: Man, uh, I am sorry about this my wife, Hugh,

528
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:16,039
do you think she's dead? What can I say?

529
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: Fall like that?

530
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 5: And and and what?

531
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:23,559
Speaker 2: Well?

532
00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:26,759
Speaker 5: Man, this here shoe one of my men found its

533
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:29,559
mate washed ashore just before the river emptied into like

534
00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:32,519
a hawkawa. Right down here with the car landed in

535
00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:37,599
the river, we found your sister's pocket book. It don't

536
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:37,960
look good.

537
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 3: Can her body be recovered from the night?

538
00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: Well?

539
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:44,839
Speaker 5: Try? But that lake bottom is soft mud or whatever

540
00:32:44,839 --> 00:32:46,240
you want to call it. From all of the leaves,

541
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,079
the trees have been dropping for millions of years. It's

542
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:53,000
like like a quicksand nobody you ever drowned in that

543
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:55,480
lake ever was seen again. Oh my god.

544
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,519
Speaker 3: Look, once you go on home.

545
00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:00,839
Speaker 5: Mister Stanton, and take miss take your sister in law

546
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,480
with you. As soon as I'm finished up here, I'll

547
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:06,519
drive up. There are some questions I'll have to.

548
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Ask, what do you mean was Emily exceptionally tall?

549
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 5: Well for a woman I met.

550
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: Actually, my sister was quite small, two inches shorter than

551
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,680
I am, and I'm only five four.

552
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: Well, all right, yes, Emily was quite tiny. But what

553
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,000
difference does that make?

554
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 5: The driver's seat was adjusted for somebody as tall as well, say.

555
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: You, sir.

556
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: Oh, well, it could have been knocked back in the crash,

557
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,079
couldn't it, Yes, sir, it could.

558
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 5: Uh you're white wearing gloves when she left gloves? Why

559
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:49,519
drivers will had no fingerprints on it?

560
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,759
Speaker 1: I just wondering, Oh, yes, yes, now I remember, yes,

561
00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:55,079
I think, yes, yes, she did have gloves.

562
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 5: You drive with gloves, missus Stanley, Yes, yes.

563
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:02,119
Speaker 1: Usually in the car is on conant maintenance at the garage.

564
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, all right, just one more question for now.

565
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:09,039
Were you all own the house and the accident happened?

566
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,679
Speaker 2: Well, I suppose I must have been. Well.

567
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 5: I was just wondering if your sister in law was

568
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,880
also here.

569
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 3: I arrived shortly before Emily left. I had planned a

570
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,119
driver into town this morning. We had some business to discuss,

571
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:26,320
but when she insisted on leaving last night, I was

572
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,480
just too tired to make the trip, and I had

573
00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:33,840
brought Mark a new script. Since Emily was taking Mark's car,

574
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,079
I decided to stay, let him read the script and

575
00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:38,960
we could drive in tomorrow discussing it and return it

576
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:39,480
one time.

577
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:44,039
Speaker 5: Well, I guess I've closest things up for me. Sorry'd

578
00:34:44,039 --> 00:34:48,119
have taken so much time. My condolence is, mister Stan,

579
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,400
I hope we can find your wife.

580
00:34:56,599 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: He is just as certain of it as I am.

581
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,440
You murdered Emily.

582
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: What are you saying the truth? If you believe that,

583
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:07,960
why did you alibi?

584
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 3: I wanted to spite the sergeant's suspicions, at least temporarily.

585
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:14,199
Speaker 2: What are you up to?

586
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 3: Oh at the moment, not very much. I want to

587
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,440
sleep on all of this. Oh, by the way, don't

588
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:29,559
entertain any ideas of getting rid of me, you see,

589
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:32,599
brother in law. Dear, I happen to be exactly what

590
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:37,880
you think of me, a witch, only I am a

591
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,159
real one. And because I am what I am, I

592
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:48,000
can feel her presence in this house. If I told

593
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,320
the police what I know, they'd search it from.

594
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 2: Top to bottom.

595
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: Because of someone who claims to have ESP they'd write

596
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,039
you up as a nuts mark.

597
00:35:56,639 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 3: You haven't a leg to stand on. On Wednesday, last Wednesday,

598
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,760
when we had lunch, I arranged for Emily to change

599
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,559
her will. It was finalized before you drove up here. Friday.

600
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:15,159
I an executrix and control every penny. Ah I'm too

601
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:19,159
tired to talk about it now. After I slept on

602
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:24,639
it out beside your future, I suggest you get some

603
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,039
rest to prepare for it.

604
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 7: I wouldn't have better, plug nickel, I could get any

605
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,239
sleep out of what was left of the night, but

606
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,400
a bottle of brandy and sheer emotionally exhausted him from

607
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,440
fright put me to sleep.

608
00:36:40,159 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: In the library chair.

609
00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: The last thing I remember was a whirling confusion of

610
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,920
surrealistic plots for disposing of elspets. I even finally believed

611
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,039
what I'd always thought of.

612
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,679
Speaker 2: Her, that she was a witch.

613
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,119
Speaker 3: I was sick with grace and desperately tired, but I

614
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:06,880
couldn't go to sleep. Every time my eyes closed, I

615
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,519
seemed to hear about I couldn't stand it any longer.

616
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:17,079
I got up, went downstairs. I saw Mark passed out

617
00:37:17,079 --> 00:37:19,239
in the light eye, a branded bottle in her hand,

618
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:24,920
and the voice was closer. The voice flew me to

619
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:31,159
the cellar, and there beside the furnace, I knew it.

620
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:38,440
It least the fresh cement still drying, beautifully blended and

621
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:43,559
tapered into the old surface. Now I knew where my

622
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,639
sister was. Now I knew exactly what I had to do.

623
00:37:52,599 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 5: I I'll pronounce you Elsemiss Garrick with more, and you

624
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:06,440
Bard Blade Stanton man and wife. You may kiss the bride.

625
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,599
Speaker 2: Ah home, sweet home, So you got me at last.

626
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: I'll spiff.

627
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: That's right, Mark, my dear husband, and no way out

628
00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:23,199
for you. One word from me and Sergeant Harkness would

629
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,320
dig up that cellar and you'd spend the best part

630
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,920
of your life in jail for murder.

631
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to you, of course, but some things I

632
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,000
still don't understand.

633
00:38:32,199 --> 00:38:35,039
Speaker 2: Oh you will, I'll be darling.

634
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,199
Speaker 3: Just give your bride a few minutes to slip into

635
00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:43,880
something fetching and we'll start to begin our married life.

636
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:46,960
I promise you'll find me all I told you I

637
00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:50,599
really am bewitchy.

638
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: He damned her under my breath what she claimed to be.

639
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,840
I found a longing ache for Emily and what she'd

640
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,679
to me. I seized at being emasculated, at having to

641
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:06,360
act like a pet poodle, at the hopelessness of my situation.

642
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,400
I dreamed of the thousandth plot to get rid of Helspeth,

643
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,679
Oh an idle dream I'd gotten away with it once,

644
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:21,800
never again. And then she called me into the bedroom

645
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,800
come love boy.

646
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: Oh God, No, you didn't really believe I was a witch,

647
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,000
did you?

648
00:39:33,199 --> 00:39:36,119
Speaker 2: You're You're Emily.

649
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,199
Speaker 3: I borrowed her aspect.

650
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: Does it please you?

651
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:41,039
Speaker 3: Yes?

652
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 4: I I love you.

653
00:39:44,119 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 3: I want you, not Emily, only her aspect, which you

654
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:56,360
will live with every moment we're at home. But you

655
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,920
will not touch me, either as myself or my sister

656
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,639
you killed. I don't understand. I want to be sure

657
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:07,719
you can't get away with it. A good lawyer, your

658
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,679
own natural charm, a long bitter trial, the possibility of escape,

659
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:13,840
and even if they found you guilty, there is no

660
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:21,239
death penalty, so my way's better. No money, no freedom,

661
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,159
and the remembrance every day of the crime you committed,

662
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,159
the girl you murdered, to haunt you fresh and lovely

663
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,000
while you grow old and forgotten. This is your cell mark,

664
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,920
plush lined perhaps, but more confining than anything state or

665
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:43,679
government could devise. And I am your jailor, watching you

666
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:44,840
die a little day.

667
00:40:44,639 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 2: By day, year by year.

668
00:40:48,519 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 3: I've read it in your cards, traced it in your horoscope.

669
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,119
You will have a long hell on earth before the

670
00:40:55,159 --> 00:41:00,320
spirit I worship welcomes you to the real hell fraternity.

671
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,679
This is my revenge for my sister, and for.

672
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: My As it was in the beginning, so it is

673
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:19,519
now and ever shall be Heaven. Hath no rage like

674
00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:25,159
love to hate returned, nor hell, no fury like a

675
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,800
woman scorned. For this story, there is no ending. A

676
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,960
man bought only what he deserved.

677
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: I'll be back shortly.

678
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: For a while, Mark Stanton's matinee ladies wondered about his

679
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:54,760
abrupt retirement, but the gorgon who guarded him fiercely, finally

680
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,079
discouraged their attentions. Not else Feth alone is good. His

681
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:03,800
looks began to fade strangely, until by the time he

682
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,599
was thirty five, his haunted, gaunt face and emaciated body

683
00:42:09,079 --> 00:42:12,559
looked more like a man in his seventies. He eventually

684
00:42:12,639 --> 00:42:15,800
was committed to a state institution for the insane, and

685
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,159
died there without even an obituary to mark his passing.

686
00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:26,480
Mysteriously and suddenly, Elspeth died on the same day. Our

687
00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:31,079
cast included William Redfield, Patricia Wheel, Terry Keane, and Ken Harvey.

688
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:34,639
The entire production was under the direction of Hymon Brown.

689
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 4: This is E. G.

690
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:40,639
Speaker 1: Marshall inviting you to return to our mystery theater for

691
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:41,760
another adventure.

692
00:42:42,119 --> 00:43:15,079
Speaker 8: In the macabre until next time. Pleasant dreams, but

693
00:43:21,679 --> 00:43:23,679
Speaker 3: A way reything about
