WEBVTT 00:00:18.489 --> 00:00:25.589 Come in. Welcome. I am E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:25.589 --> 00:00:29.530 to the Sound of Suspense. To the fear you can 00:00:29.530 --> 00:00:33.659 hear. For the next 52 minutes, I'll be your companion 00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:37.100 on a journey to a place in the past. It used 00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:39.780 to be that only the mystics believed you could 00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:44.520 go back, relive your life. But didn't so eminent 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.119 a scientist as Albert Einstein say that the past, 00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:52.420 the present, and the future are all intermingled 00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:56.520 somehow? Then why should we question a gentleman 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.780 named Spencer Chadwick? who is asking a very 00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:04.299 vital question. Inspector, do you believe a person 00:01:04.299 --> 00:01:10.400 can do it again? Do what again? Go back. Where? 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.500 To that point in his life where it went wrong. 00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:21.180 It turned sour and corrected. No. No, I don't 00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:24.400 believe it's possible. Well, I'm doing it, Inspector. 00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:28.700 I'm doing it. I'm changing it. I've gone back. 00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:40.319 Inspector, I've gone back. Our mystery drama, 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.519 You Can Die Again, was especially written for 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.280 the CBS Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars 00:01:47.280 --> 00:02:04.500 Richard Mulligan. This evening we're concerned 00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:08.740 with bright young men. That is, those who began 00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:13.699 as bright young men, like Spencer Chadwick. Bright 00:02:13.699 --> 00:02:16.599 young Spencer Chadwick married his boss's daughter, 00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:20.780 but that was twenty -three years ago. And today 00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:24.060 young Spencer has arrived at comfortable middle 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:27.759 age. This morning he will pick up his phone and 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.599 dial the private number of a highly placed friend. 00:02:35.929 --> 00:02:38.110 Chief Inspector Faraday's office. Sergeant Millrow 00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:40.469 speaking. Sergeant, this is Spencer Chadwick. 00:02:41.009 --> 00:02:42.830 Good morning, Mr. Chadwick. Connect you right 00:02:42.830 --> 00:02:46.789 away. Spence, I hope you're not calling to cancel 00:02:46.789 --> 00:02:50.610 our golf date. No, no, Martin. I'm... I'm calling 00:02:50.610 --> 00:02:58.030 to tell you... I murdered my wife. I won't believe 00:02:58.030 --> 00:03:01.189 it, Spence. I can't believe it. Marty, look at 00:03:01.189 --> 00:03:03.919 her. She's dead. I see she's dead, but I won't 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.379 believe you killed her. She's been stabbed, Inspector. 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.099 Yes, Sergeant, yes, and that's the knife, Marty. 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.099 Now, Spencer... You'll surely find my fingerprints 00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:14.319 on it. What's that bruise on your head? We had 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.479 a fight. She hit me with a candlestick. Inspector, 00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:20.080 a glass door here leads to a terrace. It's been 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.800 broken. Spence, an intruder, a thief. Did he 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.719 slug you and kill Margaret? No. No, I killed 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.780 Margaret. But that broken door... She tried to 00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:31.229 get away. I dragged her back into the room. Whose 00:03:31.229 --> 00:03:35.169 place is this? Mine. I didn't know you had an 00:03:35.169 --> 00:03:38.310 apartment downtown. I've been staying with a 00:03:38.310 --> 00:03:40.830 girl. Spence, you're talking to me, your closest 00:03:40.830 --> 00:03:43.169 friend, Marty Faraday. Excuse me, Inspector. 00:03:43.210 --> 00:03:44.949 Shall I start the routine? Yes, of course, Sergeant. 00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:48.389 Are you going to arrest me, Marty? I have to. 00:03:49.469 --> 00:03:51.650 I'm ready to go now. But I'm not ready to go. 00:03:52.030 --> 00:03:54.169 Look, I can't believe what you're telling me. 00:03:54.189 --> 00:03:55.889 I can't even believe you were cheating on Margaret. 00:03:55.930 --> 00:03:57.729 How can I believe you killed her? You've been 00:03:57.729 --> 00:04:00.150 a policeman for 25 years, Marty. Do you still 00:04:00.150 --> 00:04:03.949 have illusions, faith, ideals? If I do, it was 00:04:03.949 --> 00:04:07.330 because of people like you when Margaret... I'm 00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:10.229 sorry, Marty. Look, Spence, is this the way it 00:04:10.229 --> 00:04:12.849 happened? You were having an affair. Margaret 00:04:12.849 --> 00:04:14.449 found out about it, she came here, confronted 00:04:14.449 --> 00:04:16.089 you, one thing led to another, and you killed 00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:20.350 her. Now, is that the story? Yes, yes, yeah, 00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:24.110 that's it. Well, where's the girl? I suppose 00:04:24.110 --> 00:04:29.000 she's dead too. You suppose yes. Yes, we can 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.399 say she's dead. Well, how did she die? I? Killed 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:40.240 her what? when oh A long long time ago a long 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.439 time spent you're not making any sense How could 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.360 you have killed her a long time ago if Margaret 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.220 confronted the two of you here today? I don't 00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:50.680 know I don't I don't know like just arrest me 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.740 and don't ask me any more questions I have to 00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:54.560 ask Spence. I can't accept what you're telling 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.490 me Now think, how could you have killed her a 00:04:58.490 --> 00:05:03.910 long time ago? Or did she kill me? Spence, please, 00:05:04.029 --> 00:05:06.910 tell me what happened. It doesn't matter. I want 00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:08.410 to help you, Spence. I'm your friend, you know 00:05:08.410 --> 00:05:10.850 that. You won't believe me. Try me, just try 00:05:10.850 --> 00:05:13.329 me. It's even hard for me to believe it, but 00:05:13.329 --> 00:05:15.189 it's true. Spence, sit down, will you? Will you 00:05:15.189 --> 00:05:17.350 just sit down and try to pull things together? 00:05:17.490 --> 00:05:23.129 Tell me what happened. What happened? It started. 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:30.740 One morning, it was three months ago. I came 00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:35.519 downstairs. Margaret was at the breakfast table. 00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:41.879 Morning, darling. Coffee? Thanks, yes. Any mail, 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.379 Margaret? Nothing worth delaying breakfast. A 00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:47.379 card from my brother. Where is he now? He had 00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:51.060 to put in for repairs at Pago Pago. That's Pango 00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:54.579 Pango. When is he coming home? Oh, next year, 00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:58.259 maybe. Or the year after, when he gets bored 00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:01.079 or tired or needs money or decides to get a new 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.860 girlfriend or another boat. And he's 38 years 00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:08.100 old. And he'll never get anywhere. Don't say 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:11.259 that. It seems to me he goes everywhere. His 00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:14.240 life and yours, darling. A study in opposites. 00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:17.399 You were born poor and you wound up rich. He 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:22.550 was born rich, wound up poor. Dinner tonight 00:06:22.550 --> 00:06:28.110 with the Satterfields. What for? What for? Oh, 00:06:28.129 --> 00:06:31.629 my God. I practiced for almost five minutes before 00:06:31.629 --> 00:06:34.029 you came down, tossing off what I just said in 00:06:34.029 --> 00:06:37.629 an offhand, casual way. Dinner with the Satterfields. 00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:41.329 This is the coup of the century. A dinner party 00:06:41.329 --> 00:06:44.589 at the home of Senator Satterfield. Ask me how 00:06:44.589 --> 00:06:48.850 I did it. Why? Why do we want to have dinner 00:06:48.850 --> 00:06:52.560 with Senator Satterfield? Benz, you asked me 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.420 to arrange for the invitation. I disagree completely 00:06:55.420 --> 00:06:57.160 with the man's principles. Oh, we understand 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.139 all that, but you're the one who decided to give 00:06:59.139 --> 00:07:03.120 politics a whirl. When did I decide to do that? 00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:09.720 Well, they say the sign of a really solid marriage 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.139 is if the wife can accept jokes at breakfast. 00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:17.000 Shall I remind you of that Chinese or Indian 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.620 saying that you've been spouting lately? A man 00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:23.339 spends his first 20 years living for himself, 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.120 his next 20 living for his family, and his next 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.399 20 living for his country. It was you who decided. 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.279 Dinner's at 7 .30. Black tie. So be home early. 00:07:38.339 --> 00:07:46.600 Spence? You're not listening. Darling, why are 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.850 you looking at me like that? Is there something 00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:56.230 wrong? Who... Who are you? What did you say? 00:07:59.110 --> 00:08:03.069 I... I said, who are you? Tell me. Spencer. What 00:08:03.069 --> 00:08:04.810 are you doing here? Now look, darling, if this 00:08:04.810 --> 00:08:08.050 is... Oh, no. Oh, oh, oh. What am I doing here? 00:08:08.050 --> 00:08:10.470 If this is a joke, it's not in the best of taste. 00:08:10.649 --> 00:08:13.889 I'm afraid. I'm afraid I don't know where I am. 00:08:14.129 --> 00:08:17.810 Or, uh, or who you are. Do you know who you are? 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.939 Yes, yes, I think I know who I am. I'm Spencer 00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:24.100 Chadwick. All right, now listen. Sit quietly 00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:26.060 for just a minute. I'm going to call Dr. Berger. 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.079 Please, please, I don't want to put you through 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.120 any trouble. Don't get up, Spencer. Please, don't 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:36.059 get... Where are you going? Home. This is your 00:08:36.059 --> 00:08:38.620 home, Spencer. Please, don't be alarmed. Please, 00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:41.399 I hope I haven't frightened you. I'll leave this 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:50.730 minute. that after 23 years of marriage, you 00:08:50.730 --> 00:08:52.789 look at your wife one morning and you don't know 00:08:52.789 --> 00:08:58.409 who she is? Yes, Martin. All right. You walked 00:08:58.409 --> 00:09:02.750 out of the house. Now, where did you go? I hailed 00:09:02.750 --> 00:09:12.429 a cab. Now, where to, pal? I don't know. That's 00:09:12.429 --> 00:09:13.750 all right. None of us knows where we're going. 00:09:14.789 --> 00:09:16.350 Just answer this. Where do you want me to take 00:09:16.350 --> 00:09:24.519 you? Just drive. Okay, you're the doctor. What 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.440 do you think, the Redskins got any kind of chance 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.340 this year? Alright, let's try politics. You think 00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:36.620 Satterfield's gonna run again? Well, as my old 00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:38.539 man would have put it, you wasn't exactly vaccinated 00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:40.759 with a phonograph needed. Driver, why are you 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.019 headed north? Well, you said to drive. The Chadwood 00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:45.539 building is down on Jefferson Square. I distinctly 00:09:45.539 --> 00:09:47.580 told you to take... You distinctly told me nothing. 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.179 What would I be doing in your cab at 9 o 'clock 00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.779 in the morning if I didn't intend to go to my 00:09:51.779 --> 00:10:04.429 office? Yes, sir. Good morning, Rose. Good morning, 00:10:04.490 --> 00:10:07.629 Mr. Chadwick. There's Dr. Berger sitting in your 00:10:07.629 --> 00:10:12.090 office. Dr. Berger? Yes, Dr. Berger. Come in 00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:15.110 here, Spence. I don't have all day. Well, come 00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:20.070 in and shut the door. May I remind you that this 00:10:20.070 --> 00:10:22.990 is my office? Fifteen minutes ago, I received 00:10:22.990 --> 00:10:25.110 a call from Margaret. Margaret? Is she all right? 00:10:25.190 --> 00:10:28.629 How about you? Me? I thought it important enough 00:10:28.629 --> 00:10:31.769 for me to stop off here on my way downtown. Hold 00:10:31.769 --> 00:10:34.779 out your wrist. Wait, why didn't Margaret call 00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:38.779 you? She told me about that little episode. What? 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.500 What little episode? You don't remember saying 00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:44.000 certain things? Paul, please, what is this all 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.220 about? Pulse seems to be a little fast. What 00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:50.399 am I supposed to have said to Margaret? I want 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.799 you to report to the hospital right now. You 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.059 can't just walk into my office and tell me to 00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:58.919 report to the hospital. Who says I can't? But 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.019 what's the matter with me? I don't know. That's 00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:04.100 why I'm putting you into the hospital. What did 00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:07.340 Margaret tell you that you didn't know who she 00:11:07.340 --> 00:11:13.600 was? How could I not know who she was have you 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.940 had moments when you didn't know people or you 00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:19.980 didn't know where you were or What you were doing 00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:22.379 there.

Mr. Chadwick? 00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:23.649 Yes, Ruth? Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital? 00:13:23.950 --> 00:13:27.009 I'm not supposed to be anywhere except in my 00:13:27.009 --> 00:13:29.470 office during the business day. Oh, yes, sir. 00:13:29.929 --> 00:13:32.309 This Dr. Berger, he's been calling just about 00:13:32.309 --> 00:13:35.409 every five minutes. And your wife. Shall I get 00:13:35.409 --> 00:13:37.649 them for you? No. No, I left Dr. Berger a note 00:13:37.649 --> 00:13:40.289 saying I changed my mind about the necessity 00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:43.809 for what we were discussing. Tell him I have 00:13:43.809 --> 00:13:47.470 nothing to add. Oh, yes, sir. Oh, call my wife 00:13:47.470 --> 00:13:49.509 and remind her we have a dinner date with Senator 00:13:49.509 --> 00:13:52.070 Satterfield. And no calls. No calls. I don't 00:13:52.070 --> 00:13:56.039 want to talk to anyone. Yes, sir. Except... except 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:08.200 a young lady. She'll call herself... Peggy. Well, 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:12.960 for 23 years, you hum the same tune, and then, 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.440 suddenly, one morning, you hear the music of 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:21.509 a different drummer. A drummer named Peggy. Or 00:14:21.509 --> 00:14:25.070 is she a piper named Peggy, who will have to 00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:30.090 be paid? We shall return shortly with Act Two. 00:14:41.590 --> 00:14:45.769 And so we have Spencer Chadwick in complete command, 00:14:46.409 --> 00:14:49.169 ready to take hold of his life and run it his 00:14:49.169 --> 00:14:54.120 own way. starting with his wife. Spencer? Is 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.360 that you? There's no problem, no problem. It's 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:57.940 not even a quarter of seven. I can be dressed 00:14:57.940 --> 00:15:00.220 and ready to leave in 20 minutes. Spencer, there 00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:04.000 is a problem. You made Dr. Berger look like a 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.539 fool today. He read my note. It explained everything. 00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:09.039 You made yourself look like a fool. You admitted 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.259 to the hospital, and less than an hour later 00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:15.419 you sneaked out. I did not sneak out. I got dressed, 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.600 went to the desk and said... I'm leaving. Send 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.940 me the bill. But, Spence, you're not well. I've 00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:21.860 never felt better. You should be in the hospital. 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:27.620 Margaret, please stop running my life. What did 00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:31.820 you say just now, Spence? I'm sure you heard 00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:35.399 me. I wasn't aware that I was running your life. 00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:39.580 Spence, would you be good enough to explain? 00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:43.220 Can you show me how? You did say this thing was 00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:47.139 black tie. Spence, I... I'm entitled to an explanation 00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:49.919 of that remark. Margaret, if you can't understand 00:15:49.919 --> 00:16:01.460 what I'm saying, how can I explain it? Quite 00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:03.799 a man, this husband of yours, Miss Chadwick. 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.240 Some brandy? Yes, thank you, Senator. We need 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.419 men like you in public life, Spence. Fellas with 00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:15.539 their heads screwed on straight. You know, I 00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:18.940 have an opportunity to recommend a man for a 00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:21.960 presidential advisory commission on... I don't 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.019 think I'd be interested, Senator. I like your 00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:29.039 style, Chadwick. You play hard to get, but you 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.240 do it convincingly. The public eats that up. 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.539 No. No, Senator, it's not a pose. You see, sir, 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.240 it seems to me that I've spent all my life working 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.440 for other people. Serving others is the most 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.960 richly rewarding profession a man can follow. 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.399 That's if he happens to be a selfless person, 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.460 but I never saw myself as a manufacturer of farm 00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:56.779 equipment. I wanted to study languages, the basic 00:16:56.779 --> 00:16:59.980 structures of human communication. An admirable 00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:02.659 calling. Margaret and I were going to leave for 00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:04.519 Tibet on our honeymoon, but my father -in -law 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.279 became seriously ill. Somebody had to look after 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.839 his affairs till he could get on his feet again. 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.299 That was 23 years ago. He never did get back 00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:17.279 on his feet, and I never did get out of his office. 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.500 But you transformed that little factory into 00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:23.640 the third -largest enterprise... I know, Senator, 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.619 I know, I know. I did it for my wife, my in -laws, 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.640 my employees, the stockholders. But now, finally, 00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:32.880 at length and at last, I'm going into business 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:37.000 for myself. What sort of business? The Spencer 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.299 Chadwick business. the let's please and amuse 00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:43.619 and excite and develop and enhance Spencer Chadwick. 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.920 Thank you for your offer, Senator, but there 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.859 are many others who are more worthy not to mention 00:17:48.859 --> 00:18:01.359 more willing. Spencer, when did you decide you 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.400 were no longer interested in public service? 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:08.710 Oh, it's been building for a while. We'll have 00:18:08.710 --> 00:18:14.309 to talk. Oh, about what? About what? I don't 00:18:14.309 --> 00:18:17.269 know if this is a pose or... Margaret, I'm sure 00:18:17.269 --> 00:18:20.750 I can explain. Let's drop in somewhere for a 00:18:20.750 --> 00:18:24.369 nightcap. No, let's get home. Now, do you remember 00:18:24.369 --> 00:18:29.009 what you said to me this morning? No. You looked 00:18:29.009 --> 00:18:33.710 at me this morning. You said, who are you? You 00:18:33.710 --> 00:18:36.490 said it with sincerity and conviction. You meant 00:18:36.490 --> 00:18:39.970 it. Look, I may have been... You may have been 00:18:39.970 --> 00:18:44.250 what? Daydreaming. No, it was not daydreaming. 00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:48.250 It was wishful thinking. Margaret, what are you 00:18:48.250 --> 00:18:54.990 saying? Spencer, you're having an affair. What? 00:18:55.190 --> 00:18:59.589 Please don't deny it. But I'm not. It fits in 00:18:59.589 --> 00:19:03.869 with what Dr. Berger told me. About what? When 00:19:03.869 --> 00:19:07.940 you say to me, who are you? It means you no longer 00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:11.779 want to know me. You're trying to wish me out 00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:14.740 of your life. Oh, Margaret, Margaret, I can tell 00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:16.640 you... Now listen, Spencer, don't try to insult 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.920 my intelligence or yours. And then, what just 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.859 happened at Senator Satterfield's? What just 00:19:23.859 --> 00:19:25.859 happened? Well, suddenly you're no longer interested 00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:29.660 in public service. Why? If you heard me talking 00:19:29.660 --> 00:19:32.099 to him, you'd know that finally I want to do 00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:34.759 things for me. But he as much as offered you 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.319 a post that you dreamed about. A sensitive post. 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:40.960 You could become an important man nationally. 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.200 You've spoken about it a dozen times. Margaret, 00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:45.559 Margaret, I no longer care about it. Well, of 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:47.900 course not. Because you'd become controversial, 00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:51.220 make enemies, and then they'd try to get something 00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:54.309 on you. And now that you're having an affair, 00:19:54.509 --> 00:19:57.069 you're vulnerable to scandal. But I am not having... 00:19:57.069 --> 00:20:01.309 Oh, don't lie to me. That just makes it worse. 00:20:07.430 --> 00:20:10.029 But you were lying to us, Pence. We know you 00:20:10.029 --> 00:20:14.910 were lying. We know about Peggy. Inspector. Yes, 00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:16.930 Sergeant. If you'll come into the bedroom, Inspector, 00:20:17.049 --> 00:20:21.140 I didn't want to move anything. All right. Now 00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:24.259 sir, here are these pictures. Are these Peggy? 00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:29.079 Are they Spence? Yes. Well, sir, if you look 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.059 at the hairstyle, that went out 25 years ago. 00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:35.839 I'm no expert, but these don't look like pictures 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:37.720 that were taken recently. The clothes in the 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.019 closet, skirts, blouses, dresses. Are these Peggy's? 00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:47.650 Are they Spence? Yes. The styles are about 25 00:20:47.650 --> 00:20:50.069 years old. Now, here's a label in a skirt. It's 00:20:50.069 --> 00:20:53.289 a Lydia Carter. She was a designer who was fashionable 00:20:53.289 --> 00:20:59.930 30 years ago. Well, Spence, tell us. I can't. 00:21:00.410 --> 00:21:03.589 Why can't you? I don't think I know how. Never 00:21:03.589 --> 00:21:08.549 mind how it sounds. Just tell it. Martin, did 00:21:08.549 --> 00:21:12.829 you ever think you could somehow get a second 00:21:12.829 --> 00:21:18.519 chance? To do what? to live your life over. To 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.480 answer your question, no. Did you ever think 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.240 you could go back to a point in time when you 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.119 made a decision which changed everything for 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:30.079 you? Where you crossed your own particular Rubicon 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:34.559 and if you could go back, start again and do 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.259 the thing you really wanted to do? To answer 00:21:37.259 --> 00:21:42.720 your question again, no. That's because you never 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.180 regretted the cost of your life. And you did. 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.460 Are you trying to tell me that you did every 00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:55.160 day for 23 years? All right, Spence. I won't 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.359 press you. No, no, no, Marty. Don't put that 00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.119 sympathetic tone in your voice as if you think 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.859 I'm some kind of nut. Look, you could plead insanity. 00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:07.180 Once again, Marty. Marty, I'm not crazy. Temporary 00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:10.519 insanity. Not for one minute. I asked you a question. 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.670 Can you go back? Can you live your life over 00:22:13.670 --> 00:22:16.210 again, and I gave you my answer no, but you can 00:22:16.210 --> 00:22:21.869 you can do it I? Did go back not for long But 00:22:21.869 --> 00:22:27.509 I did go back All right all right Spencer you 00:22:27.509 --> 00:22:33.589 did go back and if I hadn't lost my head If only 00:22:33.589 --> 00:22:37.430 I hadn't killed Margaret I could have stayed 00:22:37.430 --> 00:22:48.789 I Could have started over Peggy, wanna go to 00:22:48.789 --> 00:22:52.589 a movie? No. I missed a news broadcast. Anything 00:22:52.589 --> 00:22:56.130 happening? They think a war just started. Oh, 00:22:56.150 --> 00:22:58.930 come on, Peggy. Come on. There aren't gonna be 00:22:58.930 --> 00:23:01.049 any more wars. Everybody knows that. People may 00:23:01.049 --> 00:23:05.490 be crazy, but they're not insane. Where? I think 00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:09.309 the man said Korea. Someplace like that. Maybe 00:23:09.309 --> 00:23:11.609 I didn't hear it right. Hey, if you don't wanna 00:23:11.609 --> 00:23:15.569 go to the movies, what do you wanna do? Sit home. 00:23:16.350 --> 00:23:20.529 Just listen to you. Tell me about the trip you're 00:23:20.529 --> 00:23:24.470 planning. Well, first, don't call it a trip. 00:23:24.730 --> 00:23:28.049 We may never come back. It may take all our lives. 00:23:28.049 --> 00:23:31.009 Fine with me. And we may never find it. Great. 00:23:31.150 --> 00:23:34.289 What are we looking for? The origin of language. 00:23:35.230 --> 00:23:38.470 For instance, we say brother in English. German, 00:23:38.589 --> 00:23:41.289 Dutch, Scandinavian, so on, say a form of bruder. 00:23:42.250 --> 00:23:45.599 Same basic word. Latin, Greek, Frater. The BR 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.599 becomes FR. Russian, Obrak. The differences are 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.920 all in pronunciation. Okay. How did this one 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.559 language spread so far and wide to cover so many 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.500 different kinds of people? Abait. How? That's 00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:03.220 what I want to find out. And we will travel and 00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:06.579 study and research and one day, maybe... Maybe 00:24:06.579 --> 00:24:10.160 what? This Indo -European language. It's only 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:14.460 one of 30 language families. At one time, was 00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:16.799 there one single language, the mother of all? 00:24:17.539 --> 00:24:21.980 Was there? I don't know. One day, I hope to find 00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:25.839 out. Are you sure you won't mind scrounging around 00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.180 Europe and Asia? Oh, I've been to Europe and 00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:30.720 Asia. Ah, but not with a backpack, not with a 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.420 sleeping bag. I'm going to love it. Now, one 00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:36.420 thing must be clearly understood. At no time, 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.019 regardless of the bind we may find ourselves 00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:41.980 in, shall we ever... ever under any circumstances 00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:47.460 wire your father for money. Promise? I promise. 00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.299 Hello, Margaret. Where have you been, Spencer? 00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:04.640 Oh, excuse me. I hope that doesn't sound shrewish. 00:25:05.569 --> 00:25:08.250 Well, no, no, it doesn't. Or as if I'm trying 00:25:08.250 --> 00:25:10.750 to run your life. Please, Margaret, cut it out. 00:25:10.990 --> 00:25:13.450 The reason I ask is because I had prepared dinner. 00:25:14.490 --> 00:25:16.390 I know. Didn't you get my message? Yes, I did. 00:25:16.470 --> 00:25:20.210 I got it at eight. Meanwhile, at seven, the Millers, 00:25:20.349 --> 00:25:22.609 the Brownsteins and the Gladwells arrived. No, 00:25:22.630 --> 00:25:26.289 no, the Gladwells were here at 6 .30. But why? 00:25:26.609 --> 00:25:29.869 You had asked me to invite them to dinner. And 00:25:29.869 --> 00:25:33.690 these are your friends, Spencer. I'm sorry, Margaret. 00:25:33.750 --> 00:25:37.230 I'm sorry. Yes. Well, if there were people I 00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:39.930 like, I would have been humiliated. This way, 00:25:39.990 --> 00:25:42.789 I was merely embarrassed. Well, I got through 00:25:42.789 --> 00:25:51.690 the evening somehow. Spencer, tell me. Who is 00:25:51.690 --> 00:25:54.890 she? Margaret, Margaret, believe me, there is 00:25:54.890 --> 00:25:57.049 no... I start with the premise that it's my fault. 00:25:57.289 --> 00:25:58.869 Somewhere, I must have failed you. I've gone 00:25:58.869 --> 00:26:02.140 wrong. But I don't know where and I don't know 00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:07.500 how Tell me Spence tell me Margaret, please Margaret 00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:14.160 Margaret what? Oh Spencer I've been happy You've 00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.319 been happy How a marriage it's been the envy 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.299 of so many of our friends. Oh Darling, has it 00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:25.220 been a lie? Have we been living a lie all these 00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:29.700 years? Do you want the answer? I demand The answer 00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:36.200 is yes, yes, it's been a lie. Who is she, Spence? 00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:47.740 Who is she? Who is she, Spencer? Who is Peggy? 00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:50.619 I won't tell you, Martin. I should say who was 00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:53.299 Peggy. Inspector, do you remember some time ago 00:26:53.299 --> 00:26:56.140 you saw Mrs. Chadwick? It was on business, I 00:26:56.140 --> 00:26:58.819 remember. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, I do. It had to 00:26:58.819 --> 00:27:01.160 do with a burglary, Spence. A burglary in your 00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:08.140 house. Believe me, Margaret, this is no bother 00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:10.599 at all. You see, I felt if I called the local 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.759 precinct, I'd have police traipsing all about 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:14.380 the place. It just isn't worth it. Well, what 00:27:14.380 --> 00:27:17.299 happened? Well, it's silly, but... Well, you 00:27:17.299 --> 00:27:19.940 know us. We never throw anything out. It's a 00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:22.559 sound idea. The worthless junk of yesterday has 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.400 suddenly become expensive antiques. It's incredible. 00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:29.119 Yes, Margaret. All right, I'll be brief. We have 00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:31.759 a storage space where we keep old things, clothes, 00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:33.960 knickknacks, you know, stuff that you say you'll 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:35.720 throw out sometime. You never get around to it. 00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:39.880 You never do. And? Well, it's all been stolen. 00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:42.759 Stolen? It's missing. Well, it must have been 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.640 stolen. I don't care about it, but it's just 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:47.619 unnerving to consider that the house has been 00:27:47.619 --> 00:27:50.619 broken into. We'll send a list of the stuff to 00:27:50.619 --> 00:27:53.180 Sergeant Melrose. It's not important, but... 00:27:52.809 --> 00:27:54.650 But I feel that since a crime has been committed, 00:27:54.809 --> 00:27:57.190 it should be reported. Did I do the right thing? 00:27:57.289 --> 00:28:03.569 Of course, of course you did, Margaret. That 00:28:03.569 --> 00:28:06.089 list, I gave you that list, Sergeant. It's on 00:28:06.089 --> 00:28:08.789 my desk, sir. I'm sure most of the items in this 00:28:08.789 --> 00:28:11.670 closet were on it. Spencer, you were the burglar. 00:28:12.829 --> 00:28:17.549 Technically? Yes. She needed clothes, Marty. 00:28:17.710 --> 00:28:20.950 That girl, she's a fantasy! No, no, not Peggy. 00:28:21.369 --> 00:28:22.970 All right, look, for reasons that I may never 00:28:22.970 --> 00:28:26.009 understand, you feel you wasted your life. So 00:28:26.009 --> 00:28:28.250 you fantasized a way to go back to start over. 00:28:28.650 --> 00:28:34.349 It was no fantasy. That hell it wasn't. You were 00:28:34.349 --> 00:28:36.450 sorry you married Margaret, which all by itself 00:28:36.450 --> 00:28:38.970 proves that you're insane, Spence. You created 00:28:38.970 --> 00:28:40.730 this Peggy and you had a dresser in the period 00:28:40.730 --> 00:28:43.589 of 25 years ago. There is no Peggy. This whole 00:28:43.589 --> 00:28:45.170 thing happened in your mind. Yes, thank you, 00:28:45.210 --> 00:28:49.079 Lieutenant. Yes, Sergeant. Sir. That was from 00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.559 the lab. They scraped some grass samples from 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:54.359 a skirt in the closet and it's been identified 00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:57.460 as Duke of Wentworth Pescue. It's a new kind 00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:59.680 of seed, just been planted for the first time. 00:28:59.700 --> 00:29:02.259 When? About a month ago, which means somebody 00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:04.559 wearing this skirt was sitting in the grass in 00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:10.799 Benton Park very recently. You figure if a man's 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.680 been married for 23 years, he may have a tendency 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.440 to fantasize a bit. But Spencer Chadwick has 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.819 created more than an illusion. He has brought 00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:27.519 forth flesh and blood, particularly blood. We'll 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:44.039 be back shortly with Act 3. It was alright while 00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:47.160 Peggy was only an illusion. She was Spencer Chadwick's 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.559 private affair. But a living Peggy, or even a 00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.759 dead Peggy, is a serious matter for Police Chief 00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:57.319 Inspector Faraday. Spence, make it easy for all 00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:01.500 of us. Tell me, who is Peggy? Or who was Peggy? 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.019 We can find out, Spence. We can check with the 00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:07.380 neighbors, the janitor. Circulate your picture 00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:09.039 in the neighborhood. Ask people if they've seen 00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:11.799 you around with a girl. You'll never find her. 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.240 Don't say that. It's virtually impossible for 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:16.500 a person to disappear without a trace. I still 00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:20.039 say you'll never find her. Damn it, Spence. I 00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:22.339 can't get used to it. You and Margaret and then 00:30:22.339 --> 00:30:24.160 you and this Peggy. How could you live with both 00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.279 of them? Didn't things get rough at home? Yes. 00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:30.400 Well, what brought on the showdown? Well, after 00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.160 a while we couldn't go anywhere without Margaret 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:44.500 seeing her. What? Is that the girl? What? Who? 00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:47.059 That girl. She's been looking at you all afternoon. 00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:48.819 Oh, Margaret, Margaret, believe me. Why don't 00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:50.720 you invite her down here? She'll have a better 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:52.720 view from our box. Oh, Margaret. You know the 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:54.720 reason we shouldn't all behave in a civilized 00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.720 manner? Introduce us. Margaret, I never saw that 00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:08.839 girl before in my life. Margaret, you're staring. 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.940 No, not me. That girl's been staring at you all 00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:21.299 evening. Margaret, Margaret, believe me. Wherever 00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:25.319 we'd go, there'd be no peace. She always suspected 00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:28.319 somebody. Last week, it even happened when we 00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:33.279 were playing golf with you and Henrietta. You're 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:35.740 up, Margaret. I'd use a three -wood on this hole, 00:31:35.859 --> 00:31:41.730 Margaret. All right. Oh, too bad. Well, you go 00:31:41.730 --> 00:31:44.450 up there and show me how, Marty. You rushed the 00:31:44.450 --> 00:31:46.670 shot, you lifted your head. I really don't care 00:31:46.670 --> 00:31:49.470 about golf. You made the date with Marty and 00:31:49.470 --> 00:31:51.630 Henrietta? We simply can't drop out of circulation. 00:31:53.309 --> 00:31:56.109 Spencer, that girl in the foursome behind us. 00:31:56.390 --> 00:32:03.470 Margaret, Margaret, she's not the one. Spencer, 00:32:03.569 --> 00:32:07.369 where were you? I had a meeting. Oh, well, we 00:32:07.369 --> 00:32:10.450 progress. Used to be you didn't know, you couldn't 00:32:10.450 --> 00:32:13.710 remember. And now at least you're courteous enough 00:32:13.710 --> 00:32:16.490 to lie to me. You've been drinking, Margaret? 00:32:16.549 --> 00:32:18.529 Yes, yes, that's true. I have been drinking. 00:32:18.869 --> 00:32:21.710 Margaret, it's not good for you. Oh, I don't 00:32:21.710 --> 00:32:24.130 know. Let's consider that. Drinking is not good 00:32:24.130 --> 00:32:29.490 for me. I won't fight that. However, what you 00:32:29.490 --> 00:32:33.440 are doing, that's good for me? Although I must 00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:35.859 say you're treating me nicer these days you started 00:32:35.859 --> 00:32:39.059 off by asking who are you as if you didn't know 00:32:39.059 --> 00:32:44.420 me and Now at least you don't ask The phone rang 00:32:44.420 --> 00:32:47.000 today, and I answered it and the line was dead 00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:52.819 What's going to happen Spence I? Intend to go 00:32:52.819 --> 00:32:59.000 away with her Finally you've admitted it You 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.019 are having an affair. Yes, who's the woman who 00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:06.559 yes who? I'm not sure You'd want to know I have 00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:11.119 a right to know Well, perhaps you do who is she 00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:21.960 Spencer? She's you Me yes Margaret the girl is 00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.759 you What kind of nonsense is... No, no, no, no, 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:27.079 that's not quite right. She isn't you. Then what 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.720 were you trying to say? She was you. She isn't 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.279 Margaret Chadwick. She was Peggy Wainwright. 00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:38.299 Spencer, don't look at me like that. I'm scared. 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:42.140 Do you want me to prove it to you? Come with 00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:45.960 me. Come with me right now. This is what Dr. 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.920 Burbick was concerned about. Spence, it's no 00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:51.920 disgrace to have a breakdown. It's no shame to 00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.799 need psychiatric help. No, no. We're past all 00:33:55.799 --> 00:34:00.319 that, Margaret. Come with me. I want you to meet 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.579 Peggy. Come with me. No, Spencer. You come with 00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:07.500 me. You come with me to Dr. Berger. You know, 00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:11.960 Margaret, people like you have one answer. Whenever 00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:14.300 you're up against something you don't understand, 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.440 you have one answer. Whenever you're faced with 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.619 something that's beyond your experience, you 00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:24.219 have one answer. See a doctor. That solves everything. 00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:27.820 That takes care of everybody. And it never occurs 00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:32.019 to you that yours might just possibly be the 00:34:32.019 --> 00:34:35.940 wrong answer. Now why are you so sure of yourself, 00:34:36.260 --> 00:34:40.139 Margaret? Why are you so sure that I'm the one 00:34:40.139 --> 00:34:45.420 who's wrong? Come with me, Margaret. I want you... 00:34:45.869 --> 00:34:57.889 To meet Peggy. Or are you afraid? Does it look 00:34:57.889 --> 00:35:02.070 familiar, Margaret? Spence. This is 32 Benton 00:35:02.070 --> 00:35:05.489 Boulevard. It's our first address. I remember. 00:35:05.710 --> 00:35:10.630 Do you remember the apartment number? 3. 3A. 00:35:11.090 --> 00:35:15.230 Oh, don't tell me it's still there. See for yourself. 00:35:22.230 --> 00:35:28.570 Spence! Where did you... How did you... Our first 00:35:28.570 --> 00:35:31.889 table! And this bronze candlestick, our very 00:35:31.889 --> 00:35:37.449 first wedding present from my brother! These 00:35:37.449 --> 00:35:40.929 clothes! My clothes! How did they get there? 00:35:41.510 --> 00:35:44.670 They're here because they're Peggy's clothes. 00:35:45.759 --> 00:35:48.239 Look, Spence, the Lydia Carter skirt. Oh, you 00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:50.500 love me in that. Do you know that style's come 00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:54.719 back? I want to put it on. Do you remember what 00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:59.079 we used to do? Did we go for a walk? In the park. 00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.139 Dinner at Luigi's? We never had dinner at Luigi's. 00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:05.179 Oh, that's right. We couldn't afford it. And 00:36:05.179 --> 00:36:08.039 by the time we could, we weren't living here 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:11.199 anymore. We stopped at the burger shop. What's 00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:14.119 tonight? Thursday. That means there's a free 00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:17.559 concert in the park. And then free dancing. Oh, 00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:36.139 let's go, Spence. Let's do it all again. I never 00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:40.940 realized how much fun we had in those days. They 00:36:40.940 --> 00:36:48.360 were, they were great. Days, Peggy. Peggy? I 00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.420 always liked Peggy better. Somewhere along the 00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:54.980 line you stopped calling me Peggy. When exactly 00:36:54.980 --> 00:36:58.780 did you stop calling me Peggy? When you became 00:36:58.780 --> 00:37:03.360 Margaret. I always wondered about that. How did 00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:10.019 I become Margaret? Why? Take a look around. See, 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.449 Peggy? All the bags? The trunk, we're packed 00:37:14.449 --> 00:37:19.590 for the trip. The trip? The trip to Tibet. Oh, 00:37:19.829 --> 00:37:25.349 oh, yes. We were all set to go. Yes. You remember? 00:37:26.610 --> 00:37:29.989 Yes. As a matter of fact, you were a little bit 00:37:29.989 --> 00:37:37.489 sick from the shots, remember? Remember? Yes. 00:37:38.889 --> 00:37:44.099 And then the telephone rang. Phone? Yes, yes, 00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:49.340 the phone rang. It was... It was... It was my 00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:52.800 mother. Yes, yes, it was your mother. I remember. 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:57.719 Answer the phone. Go ahead, go ahead, answer 00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:04.639 it. You answered it that night. Hello? Yes. Yes, 00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:10.710 mother? Oh, no. Yeah, all right. All right, we'll 00:38:10.710 --> 00:38:15.050 go there, right away. What is it, Peggy? My dad, 00:38:15.550 --> 00:38:18.030 he's had a stroke. How bad? Well, they don't 00:38:18.030 --> 00:38:22.190 know yet. Oh, Spence, I don't think we can... 00:38:22.190 --> 00:38:25.469 I mean, I... I can't leave Mother alone right 00:38:25.469 --> 00:38:32.389 now. No, we won't. Oh, Spence, I knew you'd understand. 00:38:33.429 --> 00:38:35.210 That's... When you became Margaret, that's when 00:38:35.210 --> 00:38:38.510 you are no longer my wife but your father's daughter. 00:38:38.750 --> 00:38:43.210 Take off the skirt. Leave it here. Go home. It 00:38:43.210 --> 00:38:45.170 belongs to Peggy. Spence, what's the matter with 00:38:45.170 --> 00:38:48.369 you? I'm Peggy. That night was the start of it. 00:38:48.409 --> 00:38:50.710 The start of what?
