Speaker 1: Fed up with the everyday grind, tired up by the
Speaker 1: dull routine, want to get away from it all.
Speaker 2: We offer you.
Speaker 3: Escape Escape Transcribe to free you from the four walls
Speaker 3: of today for a half hour of high adventure.
Speaker 1: You are flying over the lonely wastes of the Pacific,
Speaker 1: lost tone by the fury of a typhoon, your gas
Speaker 1: running out and ahead of you. Is an adventure so strange,
Speaker 1: so terrifying, that your mind cannot accept it.
Speaker 3: Today we escape from reality with the tale of a
Speaker 3: navy flier who vanished from the face of the Earth
Speaker 3: into a new world of the future. As Nelson Bond
Speaker 3: told it in his story Conquers Isle.
Speaker 4: You've got to believe this. It sounds utterly impossible. I
Speaker 4: know it sounds crazy. That's why I'm here, sir.
Speaker 5: But it's the truth, and you've got to believe it.
Speaker 5: You've got to, sir.
Speaker 6: That's the way he started. Almost as soon as I'd
Speaker 6: walked into his hospital room. He wasn't violent, you understand,
Speaker 6: there was no need for restraint, but his every action,
Speaker 6: every gesture, was evidence of a psychotic condition to be
Speaker 6: extremely charitable battle fatigue. Well, anyway, it was an odd case.
Speaker 6: I was already acquainted, of course, with a history young man,
Speaker 6: graduate of Annapolis, lieutenant in the Fleet Air Arm, excellent record,
Speaker 6: citations for bravery and so forth. Toward the end of
Speaker 6: the war, he and his bomber crew disappeared over the
Speaker 6: South China Sea. Search failed to turn them up. They were,
Speaker 6: of course presumed to be lost. And then a month ago,
Speaker 6: almost four years later, Tenant Brady was found by a
Speaker 6: Brazilian freighter, drifting helplessly and nearly dead in a tiny
Speaker 6: life raft from the airplane. Curiously enough, his position was
Speaker 6: not far from that last reported by his radio operator
Speaker 6: four years ago. But when he was asked where he'd been,
Speaker 6: he gave a story so fantastic, so utibly unbelievable, and you've.
Speaker 5: Got to believe it. You've got to, sir.
Speaker 6: He's lieutenant.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 6: I'm here to consult with you as a position out
Speaker 6: order your cure as a superior officer. Now suppose we
Speaker 6: ignore the braid while you tell me about it.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you, doctor. Where should I begin?
Speaker 6: Why? It's your story? You know what it is you
Speaker 6: want me to believe. The trouble began I understand on
Speaker 6: your last bombing mission.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right, that's what my troubles began. The thing's
Speaker 5: been going on for much longer than that, years, certainly decades.
Speaker 5: Perhaps somebody has got to do something.
Speaker 7: Doctor.
Speaker 5: Time is racing by, and with every passing day they
Speaker 5: grow stronger. I've got to make people understand, lieutenant.
Speaker 6: Now suppose you start at the beginning with that unfortunate
Speaker 6: last flight.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, right, I'm sorry. I got a little.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 5: Then it was this way. We'd finished our mission and
Speaker 5: we were starting for home. We were over the South
Speaker 5: China Sea, between the Philippines and Indo China, roughly off Palawan.
Speaker 5: Everything was peaches and cream. The Ardennalyis was purring along
Speaker 5: like a dream, and I was sitting there chewing up
Speaker 5: a pack of life Savers, thinking how good that can
Speaker 5: of cold beer was gonna taste. When the intercom crackled
Speaker 5: in my ear.
Speaker 2: Lieutenant jeft Freder ten o'clock.
Speaker 5: Euh yeah, you're right. Looks like a single tramp beating
Speaker 5: up the coast. We still got a bertha, Yes, sir, okay,
Speaker 5: maybe we can have some fun. Read for to Mac,
Speaker 5: read f to Mac, go ahead, Read for jet Freighter
Speaker 5: ten o'clock. Jack, we've still got a Bertha, how about it?
Speaker 2: Why not? It's your party. Go ahead and good luck.
Speaker 5: Roger ran out. It was as easy as hitting a
Speaker 5: sitting duck. The long dive, the bomb release, the pull out,
Speaker 5: the dull concussion. We laid it down a raft stack,
Speaker 5: and that Jap ship went up like our Roman candle.
Speaker 2: Hey, nice going, Lieutenant, to right on the button.
Speaker 5: That's one jet we won't have to worry about anymore, Lieutenant.
Speaker 2: We're hit. Huh. A piece of that jet must to
Speaker 2: come up and hit us with spread gas all over
Speaker 2: the Pacific gut of the left wing tank.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I see it now. Well, guys, get ready for
Speaker 5: a bath. We'll never make it back.
Speaker 2: I've jacket east Saturday night. Never mind, I always didn't
Speaker 2: want to pick a ride at one of the little
Speaker 2: rubber boats.
Speaker 5: No need to worry. The Navy takes care of its own.
Speaker 5: I'll be out to get us before we have a
Speaker 5: chance to get thirsty Red Fo the Mac, Red Fo,
Speaker 5: the Mac, nice going fellow. Yeah only it was a
Speaker 5: two way deal. We're hit Mac losing gas fast.
Speaker 2: I think you can make it.
Speaker 5: No, it's a salt bath for us.
Speaker 2: Sorry, fellows, keep your radio on, give your last position
Speaker 2: to base before you did it. They'll have a rescue
Speaker 2: party out in an hour.
Speaker 7: Welcome, see you tonight.
Speaker 5: Good luck over Roger out. You see, there was nothing
Speaker 5: to it. It happened every day with ships all over
Speaker 5: the Pacific. They'd have a destroyer sitting there. When we
Speaker 5: came down the half hour later, when our gas was
Speaker 5: down to a few cupfuls and the rest of the
Speaker 5: squadron was long out of sight, an amazing thing happened.
Speaker 5: One minute the sky was clear and cloudless. The next
Speaker 5: minute we were surrounded by thunderheads and a typhoon burst
Speaker 5: on us.
Speaker 2: Holy count, Lieutenant, where did this come from?
Speaker 5: I don't know, but it's a lulu passing your safety belt, says,
Speaker 5: no telling what this I'll do to us? It was
Speaker 5: a granddaddy typhoon, all right. But it lasted only a
Speaker 5: few minutes. Then we got out of it as miraculously
Speaker 5: as we'd come into it. And wonder of wonders, we
Speaker 5: were directly over a small island.
Speaker 2: Well, what do you know, take a look at that
Speaker 2: site for sore eyes. Man, oh man, it looks mighty
Speaker 2: fine to me. Uh, what island is?
Speaker 5: It, Lieutenant, I don't know. I don't recognize it. After
Speaker 5: the way we got tossed around back there, I haven't
Speaker 5: any idea of our position. We could be anywhere from
Speaker 5: the coast of China to the Philippines. Who knows, who cares?
Speaker 2: It's dry land, Ah.
Speaker 3: Just in time.
Speaker 2: We're out of gas at jack. Yeah. See if you
Speaker 2: can get a fix and radio opposition.
Speaker 6: We're going down.
Speaker 5: We landed safely on a little strip of Sandy Beach,
Speaker 5: and only after we'd climbed out of the plane did
Speaker 5: we begin to have any misgivings. What do you think, skipper,
Speaker 5: That doesn't look like much.
Speaker 7: But I don't see anybody, not a sign of life.
Speaker 6: I got a good look from topside coming down.
Speaker 7: There weren't any houses. Nothing.
Speaker 5: Still, you can't tell. It could be Japs or worse,
Speaker 5: head hunters. Maybe we'd better stick together, stay close to
Speaker 5: the plane. Shouldn't be more than a few hours. Except hey,
Speaker 5: what the hold?
Speaker 2: There? A white man? Hey?
Speaker 7: What is this?
Speaker 5: Keep your eyes open?
Speaker 7: It might be a trap, But he's a white man,
Speaker 7: he speaks English and he's not armed.
Speaker 5: No, I don't see any good just the same watching Welcome.
Speaker 7: Gentlemen, welcome. We saw you lands who I hurried out
Speaker 7: to see if I could be of any assistance. May
Speaker 7: I introduced myself.
Speaker 5: I am doctor Groove, I'm a Lieutenant Brady, and these
Speaker 5: are my men, Radio man Kavanaugh, my gunnar, Sergeant Keiller.
Speaker 7: Hi, Hi, right, ex pleasure, gentlemen, pleasure? Are any of
Speaker 7: you in need of medical assistance?
Speaker 5: Oh? Thanks, we're all okay, just a little surprised to
Speaker 5: find anyone agre.
Speaker 7: Yes, of course that can be explained to you later.
Speaker 7: But right now you'll be wanting food and rest.
Speaker 5: Hey, now, little chow wouldn't be bad, but first we
Speaker 5: have to get in touch with our base.
Speaker 7: Give him my position, Oh of course, but such things
Speaker 7: take some time in these primitive areas.
Speaker 5: Or we have a radio on the plane, did have skipper?
Speaker 2: Well, I was just starting to tell you it went
Speaker 2: out just for we sighted the island.
Speaker 7: Must we got wanged up in that storm?
Speaker 5: We can you fix it?
Speaker 7: I suppose so if it's nothing serious, I'll tell you
Speaker 7: better after I have a chance to look at of course,
Speaker 7: But in the meantime I hope you'll accept our humble hospitality.
Speaker 7: We don't have the pleasure of entertaining you guests here often.
Speaker 7: It'll be good to chat with you all if you'll
Speaker 7: follow me, please, how about it?
Speaker 6: Skipper?
Speaker 1: Sure? Why not?
Speaker 5: After the last half hour we could all you was
Speaker 5: a little relaxation.
Speaker 7: Very good write this week.
Speaker 5: I should have smelled it right then. It was something
Speaker 5: strange about the whole thing. There were a lot of
Speaker 5: questions in my mind, but somehow I didn't ask them. Instead,
Speaker 5: we walked down the jungle path behind Doctor Grove like
Speaker 5: lambs to the slaughter. Tom Gill I must have had
Speaker 5: the same misgivings, because he whispered in my ear, I
Speaker 5: don't get it, Skipper, don't get what time?
Speaker 7: Where do these guys come from?
Speaker 2: Where do they hang out? When we were coming in,
Speaker 2: I made sure to take a good.
Speaker 7: Look at this island. There were no houses, no nothing.
Speaker 5: I know. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Speaker 7: Yeah, hey, stop the cow, Will you look at that?
Speaker 5: Doctor Grove stopped in front of what looked like a
Speaker 5: big rock, and then we saw it was expertly camouflaged
Speaker 5: cement with the sliding door.
Speaker 7: Here we are, gentlemen. You'll be good enough to win.
Speaker 7: You know what that don't be alarmed. It's only an elevator.
Speaker 5: An elevator in this jungle? What kind of monkey business
Speaker 5: is this? Anyhow do you mean to tell me you
Speaker 5: live underground?
Speaker 7: My dear lieutenant, I'll be glad to explain everything later.
Speaker 7: It's all very simple. But at first I must insist
Speaker 7: that you went in the shafs on.
Speaker 5: Now you're insisting, and suppose we prefer not to step
Speaker 5: into your elevator, then.
Speaker 7: What then I should be compelled most regretfully to enforce
Speaker 7: my request?
Speaker 5: Yes again, pal, we happen to be armed a gun?
Speaker 5: Three guns? That's one detail you overlooked.
Speaker 7: I overlooked no details. Lieutenant. Would you be kind enough
Speaker 7: to fire your gun?
Speaker 5: Watch your self skip.
Speaker 7: It's a trick he wants you to suit.
Speaker 2: The sun will bring help.
Speaker 7: Wrong, my friend, I need no help very well. If
Speaker 7: you won't accept my invitation.
Speaker 5: Wait, I'm gonna keep your hand out of your pocket.
Speaker 7: Perhaps you would care to stop me, lieutenant? Okay, if
Speaker 7: you asked for it, Hey, lieutenant, try again, lieutenant, but
Speaker 7: your gun will not work. And now perhaps you'll be
Speaker 7: kind enough to step into the shaft.
Speaker 5: Look, I don't know what's going on here, but I
Speaker 5: don't want any part of it here I neither die.
Speaker 5: Come on, gang Let's get out of here a minute.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry you force me to use harsh measures. Believe me,
Speaker 7: I do so reluctantly.
Speaker 5: What's that you've got there?
Speaker 7: Just a small tube, but a very potent weapon. I
Speaker 7: must warn you.
Speaker 5: Eh, well, then you'd better use it first. I made
Speaker 5: a desperate lunch for him, and suddenly tiny shaft of
Speaker 5: light flicked out from the tube and touched me, and
Speaker 5: I stopped, frozen in my tracks, conscious, my eyes open,
Speaker 5: seeing him, hearing him. But try as I would, I
Speaker 5: could not move a muscle. I was as if turned
Speaker 5: to stone.
Speaker 3: In just a moment, we will return to Escape, but first,
Speaker 3: both Gangbusters and the Adventures of Philip Marlowe are regular
Speaker 3: Saturday Night features on most of these same CBS Network stations,
Speaker 3: So be listening to Night when they bring you an exceptional,
Speaker 3: fast moving, gripping hour of mystery. And now, with our
Speaker 3: stars David Elice, Ted Von ELTs, and Bill Johnstone, we
Speaker 3: returned to the second act of Escape and Conquerors Isle.
Speaker 5: I was paralyzed, Doctor Garum, completely paralyzed, as if turned
Speaker 5: a stone. I had all my senses I could, I
Speaker 5: could see and hear and feel. But I couldn't move
Speaker 5: a muscle, not even turn my eyes.
Speaker 6: And you say this happened because of some kind of
Speaker 6: light beam, But.
Speaker 5: Not exactly a beam, sir. Perhaps not exactly light, just
Speaker 5: a kind of kind.
Speaker 6: Of radiance, a gas perhaps.
Speaker 5: No, because it had no form, no odor, no taste.
Speaker 5: It was like becoming enmeshed in a web of moonbeams.
Speaker 6: I see. And it's only effect on you was to
Speaker 6: immobilize you.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right. It didn't burn a sting or cause
Speaker 5: pain in any way. I simply couldn't move. It was
Speaker 5: like a hypnotic trance. And then then some of doctor
Speaker 5: Grove's companions came out of the elevator. They picked us
Speaker 5: up and carried us. I could feel their hands very softly,
Speaker 5: as if they were far away from my body, as
Speaker 5: if there were layers of rubber between them and me.
Speaker 5: I could hear doctor Grove talking.
Speaker 7: Gently.
Speaker 5: Please, I could see him bending over me into my
Speaker 5: line of vision.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, lieutenant, I sincerely regret having to inconvenience you.
Speaker 7: But you see, just as we have the means of
Speaker 7: hampering your primitive mechanical devices, your guns, your radio, so
Speaker 7: do we have the means to enforce our requests, requests
Speaker 7: which are I assure you, only reasonable and necessary under
Speaker 7: the circumstances. Very well, take us down.
Speaker 5: My head was reeling, and fear was growing in me.
Speaker 5: Who were these men to talk of radio as a
Speaker 5: primitive device? What kind of men were they? Where were
Speaker 5: they taking the three of us? And what were they
Speaker 5: going to.
Speaker 8: Do with us?
Speaker 5: As if you'd read my thoughts, Doctor Grove leaned over
Speaker 5: me again.
Speaker 7: There's no need to be alarmed, Lieutenant, no need at all,
Speaker 7: all right, Gently carry them gently, well, Frazer. I am sorry,
Speaker 7: fred Dawdan, it was necessary. They would not come willingly.
Speaker 8: I see er a few of them, do.
Speaker 1: I'll put them in the sleeping chambers until they recover,
Speaker 1: and be gentle.
Speaker 8: They are so frightened. Poor things, poor things, poor things,
Speaker 8: he'd said, not as if we were human beings at all,
Speaker 8: but animals, some weak, dumb animals with whom they must
Speaker 8: be gentle.
Speaker 5: It was then that I began to know real fear.
Speaker 5: We were in a great underground city, but I could
Speaker 5: see little of it, nothing except what passed in front
Speaker 5: of my rigid eyes. Then I was carried into a room,
Speaker 5: deposited upon a soft couch and left alone. I could
Speaker 5: not close my eyes, but gradually the light began to
Speaker 5: fade to melt away. I was in deep blackness, and
Speaker 5: I I don't know whether the return of the light
Speaker 5: awakened me or whether it came on automatically when I
Speaker 5: woke up, but the room was bright and I could
Speaker 5: move again. I jumped up tide the door, and of
Speaker 5: course it was locked, and there was no other way
Speaker 5: of escape. The room was a small cell with metal
Speaker 5: walls and ceiling, a kind of metal I'd never seen before.
Speaker 5: There was a cot, a desk, and a chair and
Speaker 5: nothing else. But the really amazing thing was the light.
Speaker 5: I searched the entire room carefully, but there were no fixtures,
Speaker 5: no indirect lighting arrangements. The light came out of the
Speaker 5: walls evenly, filling the room, casting no shadows. Suddenly I
Speaker 5: wanted to see Kavanaugh and Geller. I yelled. I yelled
Speaker 5: at the top of my lungs. There was almost no sound,
Speaker 5: no echo from the walls. They simply absorbed the sound
Speaker 5: into utter silence. Then, as I stood there, with fear
Speaker 5: cold in my stomach, I heard a faint sound a
Speaker 5: footstep behind me. I whirled around, just in time to
Speaker 5: see doctor Grove stepping through the wall.
Speaker 6: You were you said, through the wall, Lieutenant. Of course
Speaker 6: you mean through the door.
Speaker 5: Through the wall. Through the wall, sir, The door was
Speaker 5: in front of me, but doctor Grove stepped into myself
Speaker 5: through the solid metal wall.
Speaker 6: You realize that what you're saying is impossible.
Speaker 5: To us, it is to them. Nothing is impossible nothing.
Speaker 5: That's why we must act, and act now before it's
Speaker 5: too late. You must believe me, sir. This is man's
Speaker 5: last chance.
Speaker 6: I'll do my best. Perhaps you'd better continue now this
Speaker 6: doctor Grove stepped through the wall.
Speaker 5: Yes, as I'll tell the rest as quickly as I can.
Speaker 5: I can see that you don't believe me. But someone
Speaker 5: must somewhere, Sometimes someone must.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 5: As I said, doctor Grove stepped into myself through the wall.
Speaker 5: Suddenly my panic ended. I looked at him now with awe.
Speaker 5: We talked not as man to man, but as man
Speaker 5: to a lesser creature me.
Speaker 7: You must not be frightened, Lieutenant. You do not understand
Speaker 7: how I passed through a wall which to you seemed
Speaker 7: solid and not understanding you feel it. But yet there
Speaker 7: is nothing supernatural or fearful about what I did. Any
Speaker 7: of us can do it it will. You see, there
Speaker 7: is no such thing as as solid in this world
Speaker 7: of relativity. We know that there is plenty of room
Speaker 7: for the molecules of our bodies to pass between the
Speaker 7: molecules of those walls. We simply make a necessary mental
Speaker 7: adjustment and walk where we will. It is an ability
Speaker 7: as basic to us as breathing. To a person like you?
Speaker 5: What kind of men are you?
Speaker 7: You have been educated, Durer, studied Darwin. You know the
Speaker 7: facts of evolution. You know how man has progressed through
Speaker 7: various stages from the primitive savagery of the Neanderthal man. Yes,
Speaker 7: obviously this process can and will continue. To suppose that
Speaker 7: the evolution of man is complete with you is a
Speaker 7: mistake of.
Speaker 5: Conceit human You are the next stage.
Speaker 7: Exactly. You have heard of the process of mutation? Perhaps
Speaker 7: how suddenly a white rose is produced of a family
Speaker 7: of red roses, and from then on produces only white descendants. Yes,
Speaker 7: so have we been evolved as mutants, infinitely superior to
Speaker 7: our parents and our fellow men, knowing by instinct right
Speaker 7: from birth what you must study years to learn. Your
Speaker 7: most difficult physics and mathematics, our A. B. C's, our
Speaker 7: studies far beyond your understanding.
Speaker 5: Are there many of you?
Speaker 7: Yes, you see. The process has been going on for
Speaker 7: many years. Hundreds thousands more come to us every year
Speaker 7: from all over the world, drawn here by telepathic message,
Speaker 7: where we have isolation to study, learn, build, prepare ourselves, prepare,
Speaker 7: prepare for what for the task ahead? Obviously, when we
Speaker 7: are ready, when we are numerous enough to fill all
Speaker 7: the necessary positions, our superior intelligence must shape.
Speaker 5: A new world, take over the world. Obviously, and you
Speaker 5: will destroy man. How little you understand us? Do you
Speaker 5: destroy the animals of the field, because they are not yours,
Speaker 5: intellectual peers.
Speaker 7: Our obligation is to keep and protect you, to act
Speaker 7: as your friendly guardians in a world which will be
Speaker 7: strange to you and frightening, as my walking through the
Speaker 7: wall was frightening to you.
Speaker 5: I see, yes, I see. Then what is your plan?
Speaker 7: Rather say Nature's plan? And the answer to that lives
Speaker 7: in history. What became of the anthropoids, the cave men?
Speaker 5: They died out, Civilization passed them by, They fell before
Speaker 5: the on rush of higher forms of life.
Speaker 7: Even so, even so, but I give you our plagelet
Speaker 7: we will be kind, We will be kind.
Speaker 5: And then he took me out into that great underground city,
Speaker 5: through its corridors and great halls and laboratories and shops,
Speaker 5: took me among the thousands of his fellow men. There
Speaker 5: I saw marvels of which I could talk for hours.
Speaker 5: There were, but they would be beyond your comprehension, as
Speaker 5: they were beyond mine. You wouldn't believe me, and so
Speaker 5: I won't bother to tell you. Then I met others
Speaker 5: like us, some two captive cattle people who had stumbled
Speaker 5: under this island as I had. There were famous names,
Speaker 5: among them, a famous author whose ship disappeared in the
Speaker 5: Pacific years ago, a big game hunter, a famous aviatrix
Speaker 5: for whom a dozen fleets had sought in vain. All
Speaker 5: of us prisoners, we were treated with great kindness, made comfortable,
Speaker 5: relatively happy. We were their pets, you see, their dumb
Speaker 5: animal pets. For over three years I stayed there. After
Speaker 5: a while, I ceased to struggle, even in my mind.
Speaker 5: I was defeated, and so I succumbed to the peaceful
Speaker 5: Bucolic existence. That was my fate, at least, at least
Speaker 5: that's what I thought. Then came that last day Doctor
Speaker 5: Grove had made me his special pet. I was allowed
Speaker 5: to follow him about it at work, to talk to
Speaker 5: him at length, and on this day he confided in
Speaker 5: me even more than usual.
Speaker 7: Well, Lieutenant, it has been a pleasant day.
Speaker 5: Yes, doctor, Am I to go now?
Speaker 7: Not for a moment. Ah, Yes, I shall miss having
Speaker 7: you with me when I am gone.
Speaker 5: Gone.
Speaker 7: You're going away, sir, yes, very soon. But where out
Speaker 7: out into the world where you once lived? But why oh,
Speaker 7: there are many, very many of us there already, in
Speaker 7: strategic places of course, an important politician here, an industrial
Speaker 7: magnet there, a famous author whose words are gospel to
Speaker 7: his readers. I will have my place, an important one.
Speaker 5: But I didn't know. You didn't tell me that it's
Speaker 5: already begun.
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, definitely. The hour is close at hand.
Speaker 5: And then all of us, the whole.
Speaker 7: World, Lieutenant, you know us now, you know that we
Speaker 7: will be kind? Kind?
Speaker 5: Yes, kind. Suddenly all the anger that was in me
Speaker 5: welled up. I didn't want to be a dumb animal
Speaker 5: or pet for some superior being to be kind too.
Speaker 5: I didn't want that for my loved ones, my friends,
Speaker 5: my fellow men. That night at dinner when they fed
Speaker 5: the prisoners in a big communal hall. I got a
Speaker 5: chance to talk to Kavanaugh, my old radio man. He
Speaker 5: listened and then shrugged hopelessly. They all succeed, Jo, You
Speaker 5: know that, no, not if the world could be warned,
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Maybe it wouldn't make any difference.
Speaker 7: Besides, how could they be worn.
Speaker 5: If somebody could get away from here?
Speaker 7: Escape?
Speaker 5: That's impossible. I know that's what I thought. But listen,
Speaker 5: I've got an idea. There's one chink in their invincibility.
Speaker 5: What their gentleness, their kindness. They can't bear to hurt anyone.
Speaker 5: None of their weapons kill, but only only parallel temporarily.
Speaker 5: And they simply cannot conceive of treachery.
Speaker 7: What are you driving at this?
Speaker 5: I'm going to play on doctor Grove's liking for me,
Speaker 5: his kindness, and I'm going to trick him how Tomorrow
Speaker 5: I'll ask him to take me up above back to
Speaker 5: the plane to get pictures of my father and sister.
Speaker 5: Tell him I'm lonesome, suffering. He'll do it. I'm sure
Speaker 5: he will. It's very kind of you, doctor Grove, to
Speaker 5: do this for me.
Speaker 7: Oh not at all, Lieutenant, I understand your feeling.
Speaker 5: With you leaving, i'd have no one, no one close.
Speaker 5: The pictures will make me feel a lot better.
Speaker 7: I only hope they're still here. Plaine is partially demolished
Speaker 7: by the weather as you can see.
Speaker 5: Oh, they'll be there. They were in the map compartment.
Speaker 5: They'd be out of the weather. Eh, here you are, Grove,
Speaker 5: look over there. Well, sorry, doctor, but I had to
Speaker 5: do it. I hope I didn't kill him. He had
Speaker 5: been kind, but I hit him hard. Then I broke
Speaker 5: out a life raft from the rotting plane. I was
Speaker 5: almost afraid to look at it, but it was okay,
Speaker 5: even complete with supplies four years old. I ripped the
Speaker 5: valve and threw it into the water. In five minutes,
Speaker 5: I was out beyond the breakers. I don't know how
Speaker 5: many days or weeks it was before they picked me up,
Speaker 5: but it was a long time, and I was more
Speaker 5: dead than alive.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, lieutenant, you were in bad shape. It was
Speaker 6: a horrible experience.
Speaker 5: But you see, it doesn't matter about me. It's the
Speaker 5: others that you don't believe me either, do you.
Speaker 6: Well, Lieutenant, It's it's been a pleasure to listen to
Speaker 6: your story. I'll make a report to my superiors. Please
Speaker 6: be patient and try.
Speaker 7: Not to worry.
Speaker 5: Try not to worry.
Speaker 6: Good day, Lieutenant, get out, get out, sir?
Speaker 7: Are there, Commander Gorum? You talked to him. What's a verdict?
Speaker 6: A clear case of persecution? Menia an amazing for him.
Speaker 6: I've never heard a tale more complete and logical.
Speaker 7: Nice I know what you mean.
Speaker 6: Well, do what you can for him. I'm afraid he's
Speaker 6: going to be here for a long time, perhaps for
Speaker 6: as long as he lives. Turned loose, he might be dangerous.
Speaker 6: That's too bad.
Speaker 7: Nice boy too floating for four weeks on a life
Speaker 7: raft and heaven knows what before that sure does things
Speaker 7: to a man. Well, doctor, how about lunch?
Speaker 6: No, no thanks, I've got to run along. I have
Speaker 6: to turn in my report and recommendation on this case.
Speaker 7: Oh of course, Well, I see you later.
Speaker 6: I watched the man disappear down the hall. I stood
Speaker 6: there for a moment, lost in thought, seeing the face
Speaker 6: of that.
Speaker 7: Boy in there.
Speaker 6: It was hard to know how best to be kind
Speaker 6: to a boy like that, but I aroused myself. I
Speaker 6: had much to do, so much. If I went down
Speaker 6: through the lobby of the hospital, some fool would surely
Speaker 6: delay me. Get me into a long winded discussion, and
Speaker 6: I didn't feel a bit like talking. I wanted to
Speaker 6: get out of this place and forward my report, my
Speaker 6: report that this Brady case was closed, that there'd be
Speaker 6: no more trouble from this source. My car was just
Speaker 6: outside on the street. There was no one in sight
Speaker 6: in the corridor, so I turned and quietly walked through
Speaker 6: the wall.
