WEBVTT 00:00:17.889 --> 00:00:27.149 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:27.149 --> 00:00:32.100 to The Sound of Suspense. Welcome to the fear 00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:38.000 you can hear, but mostly welcome to the world 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.479 of terrifying imagination. The story you are 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.619 about to hear is a love story, but a love story 00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:52.520 which begins at the point where many love stories 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.439 end. It begins after the wedding march has been 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.939 played. After the vows of love and fidelity exchanged, 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:09.140 it begins on the honeymoon in a strange and terrifying 00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:14.379 fashion. Don't! Don't! Don't come near me! Stay! 00:01:14.939 --> 00:01:17.120 Stay away from me, Dad! Susan, are you out of 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.719 your head? I saw her picture! Do you hear me? 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:41.430 I found her picture! Our mystery drama, Deadly 00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:44.909 Honeymoon, was written especially for the Mystery 00:01:44.909 --> 00:01:49.890 Theatre by Henry Schlesser and stars Betsy von 00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:54.189 Furstenberg and Michael Wager. I'll be back shortly 00:01:54.189 --> 00:02:17.560 with Act One. Our story begins 36 ,000 feet in 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.599 the air on a flight which departed from New York's 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.800 Kennedy Airport and in another hour will be touching 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.400 down at O 'Hare Airport in Chicago. There are 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.560 almost a hundred passengers on this flight, but 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.479 an observant stewardess is giving special attention 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:44.650 to that handsome couple in seats 18A, and 18B. 00:02:45.069 --> 00:02:48.710 Perhaps it's because all honeymooners have a 00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:52.349 special radiance. Are you sure you wouldn't like 00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:54.550 some more coffee? Oh, no, thanks. Not for me. 00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:58.009 I wouldn't mind a cup. Here you are. Thanks. 00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:02.270 Just ring if you need anything else. You'd think 00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:04.349 we were the only people on this flight. As far 00:03:04.349 --> 00:03:08.710 as I'm concerned, we are. Oh, Dan, I feel absolutely 00:03:08.710 --> 00:03:11.759 drunk with happiness. Is that a funny word for 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.740 the way I feel? No. It's a great word, Susan. 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.759 I was flying hours before we got on the plane. 00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:21.719 Oh, what time did you say we land in Chicago? 00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:25.259 About 2 .30. Is it far from the airport to the 00:03:25.259 --> 00:03:27.680 hotel? No, actually it's only about a half an 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.120 hour from O 'Hare to downtown, about 16 miles. 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.319 Still, I don't think we'll have time to make 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.719 Evanston today, do you? Well, it might be better 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.719 to go in the morning. You can call your aunt 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.340 from the hotel. Dan? You sure you don't mind 00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:44.960 going to Evanston? I mean, I just couldn't possibly 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.460 be a few miles away and not see Aunt Clara. Besides, 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.219 I want to show off my new husband to somebody, 00:03:51.539 --> 00:03:54.219 and she's all the family I have. Was she your 00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:57.060 mother's sister? No, no, my father's. She came 00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:59.039 east when my parents were killed in that crash. 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.539 Stayed with me for a month or so. That was about 00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:04.719 the most that either one of us could stand. She 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.120 sounds like a holy terror. Oh, no, she's just 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.729 crotchety, that's all. But she'll only be more 00:04:09.729 --> 00:04:11.490 crotchety if she learns that I passed through 00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:22.709 Chicago and didn't even stop by. Well, what kind 00:04:22.709 --> 00:04:25.870 of work are you in, Mr. Carey? Right now, we 00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:28.449 like to say we're management consultants, Mrs. 00:04:28.649 --> 00:04:31.189 Rowland. But we also do quite a bit of executive 00:04:31.189 --> 00:04:33.410 recruitment. I don't understand a word of that. 00:04:33.750 --> 00:04:35.970 Dan helps corporations find the right people 00:04:35.970 --> 00:04:39.060 for important jobs, Aunt Clara. His firm is the 00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:42.819 biggest in the field, isn't it, Dan? Well, it's 00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:44.759 always hard to measure business like ours. But 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.439 it has offices everywhere, doesn't it? In most 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.779 of the major cities, yes. And now Dan is going 00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:51.879 to take over the branch in San Francisco. He's 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.100 going to manage the entire thing. Is that some 00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:57.399 kind of a promotion? Of course it is. I ask the 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.319 gentleman, Susan, speak when you're spoken to. 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.519 Oh, sorry. Yes, Mrs. Rowland, it is a promotion. 00:05:02.750 --> 00:05:05.170 Truth is, it's a job that everyone in my office 00:05:05.170 --> 00:05:07.649 has been after. Oh, it's just worked out so beautifully 00:05:07.649 --> 00:05:10.730 for us. I mean, Dan having to move to San Francisco. 00:05:11.310 --> 00:05:13.230 We're sort of combining a business trip with 00:05:13.230 --> 00:05:14.910 a cross -country honeymoon. And where do you 00:05:14.910 --> 00:05:17.509 go from here? Well, we're planning to stay two 00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:21.139 days in Chicago. And then we're going to Dallas. 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.019 We're across the Rio Grande in New Mexico. I 00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:24.860 know a great little hotel in Monterey. Then we're 00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:27.399 going to Las Vegas. To gamble, I suppose. Well, 00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:29.779 it's no fun going to Las Vegas if you don't gamble 00:05:29.779 --> 00:05:32.360 a little. Your father never gambled for so much 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.740 as a dime, Susan. That wasn't the way he made 00:05:34.740 --> 00:05:36.959 his fortune. Well, I promise not to bankrupt 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.519 the family, Aunt Clara. Anyway, we're just staying 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.399 Las Vegas overnight. And then going to Los Angeles. 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.240 Three days later, I report to work. Thoroughly 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.779 exhausted, of course. Well... That's your idea 00:05:49.779 --> 00:05:53.439 of a honeymoon. I hope you enjoy it. Oh, Susan, 00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:55.540 I suppose lunch is almost ready. You want to 00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:58.300 help me bring it out? Oh, yes, of course. Kitchen's 00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:00.500 this way in case you've forgotten. The truth 00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:07.639 is, I have. I'm glad to be able to talk to you 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.060 alone for a minute, Susan. Did you like Dan Ann, 00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:14.300 Clara? Isn't he good -looking? Older than you, 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.860 isn't he? What difference does that make? How 00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:20.300 long did you know him? Oh, we met at a party 00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:22.680 at the Williamson's. Do you remember my friend 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.620 Tracy Williamson? Didn't ask you where you met. 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.399 I'm asking you when. Well, it was about three 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.040 weeks ago. Three weeks? Oh, for the love of heaven, 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.899 Susan. Aunt Clara, the time you know somebody 00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:40.480 isn't always the most important thing. He's practically 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.480 a stranger. How can he be sure of anything about 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.360 a man you've known for three weeks? From the 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.779 time we met, I saw Dan every single day. Susan, 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.139 when a girl is all alone in the world, when she 00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:54.319 has independent means of her own... Please, Addie, 00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:56.639 don't start in about Dan being a fortune hunter. 00:06:56.740 --> 00:06:59.279 I don't have that much money, and it's all in 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.600 trust anyway. And I assure you, Dan earns enough 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.439 income to take care of us both very well. Well, 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.899 I'm sorry, Susan. I know I don't have any control 00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:11.079 over what you do. You're too old for that. But 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.360 I've seen something of the world, too, you know. 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.079 And the most important lesson I've ever learned 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.959 is never trust a stranger. And, Clara, that's 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.959 ridiculous. Now, can we bring out the lunch? 00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:38.279 I don't know. I just... I just have a feeling 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.480 that Chicago wasn't all you expected it to be. 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.009 Well, we weren't there very long, Dan. And don't 00:07:44.009 --> 00:07:46.389 forget, we spent half the time with your business 00:07:46.389 --> 00:07:49.009 associates. Oh, honey, I am sorry about that. 00:07:49.509 --> 00:07:51.790 I suppose I never should have called Bill Kincaid 00:07:51.790 --> 00:07:54.730 to say we're in town. Should have known he'd 00:07:54.730 --> 00:07:56.870 insist on getting together. Oh, it wasn't that 00:07:56.870 --> 00:07:59.610 bad. I just didn't know what he was talking about 00:07:59.610 --> 00:08:04.050 half the time. All those office politics. Yes. 00:08:04.750 --> 00:08:07.490 Well, Bill loves to gossip. But you can see what 00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:11.069 I mean about this San Francisco job. Everybody 00:08:11.069 --> 00:08:13.360 in the company wanted it. He'll never get over 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:17.079 resenting me for being picked. But I am sorry 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.500 if you were bored. It's all right, Dan, really. 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.399 After all, I inflicted Aunt Clara on you. She 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.000 was okay. Well, I know you didn't find her very 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.819 friendly. Well, why should she be? I think she's 00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:32.019 a very protective type. Anybody you married would 00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:35.360 get her, Joan, to die. Yes, I suppose that's 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:40.139 true enough. Dan, how long did you know Terry 00:08:40.139 --> 00:08:46.200 Williamson? Who? Terry, my ex -roommate. We met 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.600 each other at her house. Or have you forgotten 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.620 that already? To tell you the truth, darling, 00:08:51.899 --> 00:08:54.000 I didn't know whose house I was at that night. 00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:56.919 Oh, so Terry wasn't the one who invited you? 00:08:57.700 --> 00:09:00.360 No, it was a man named Bob Chambers, one of the 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.860 executive chaps. I got the place to generate 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:05.080 utilities. Don't ask me who invited him, because 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.799 I don't know. I see. So it was all sort of around 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.559 about. What's the difference? Still turned out 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:19.720 to be the best party I ever attended. Yeah. Hey, 00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:22.580 something the matter? Oh, no, of course not. 00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:27.019 Nothing at all. Uh, Dan, where did you say we 00:09:27.019 --> 00:09:29.019 were staying in Dallas? It's a little hotel called 00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:31.659 the Lazy Sea. It's kind of rustic, but I think 00:09:31.659 --> 00:09:33.379 you'll like it. Besides, we'll only be there 00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:36.000 one night. We'll rent a car in the morning and 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.480 drive down to Monterey. You really know all the 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.009 offbeat places, don't you? Well, when you travel 00:09:41.009 --> 00:09:43.110 around enough, I guess you begin looking for 00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:45.149 them. You haven't done that much traveling on 00:09:45.149 --> 00:09:50.610 the job, have you? Well, no, not that much. Say, 00:09:51.370 --> 00:09:53.590 do you know the name of the airport in Dallas? 00:09:54.269 --> 00:09:59.409 Um, I forget. It's called Love Field. Isn't that 00:09:59.409 --> 00:10:18.100 a great name for honeymooners? Yes. There you 00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:20.840 are. I was starting to worry. No, I had a little 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.379 trouble with the phone lines back to New York, 00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:24.399 but I got through okay. Everything all right? 00:10:24.659 --> 00:10:28.460 Yeah, sure. Everything's fine. Hey, you look 00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:30.519 a little strange, though. Oh, no, I'm all right. 00:10:30.740 --> 00:10:32.919 I had a drink while I was waiting for you. Say, 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.139 you'd better watch that tequila. It sneaks up 00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:40.360 on you like a bandito. Actually, something sort 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:44.620 of funny happened. What do you mean? Dan, when 00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:47.639 we were in Chicago in that restaurant, I forget 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.639 the name of it. The place you went to with Bill? 00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:51.580 Yes, when you and your friend were talking about 00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:54.700 all the office politics back in New York. I saw 00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:58.080 this, this man looking at us. What man? Well, 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.419 he was the bar. I'm not even sure why I noticed 00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:03.679 him. He was wearing this plaid raincoat. I remember 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.460 wondering if it had started to rain. I guess 00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:09.200 you were just bored with all our talk. Anyway, 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.860 I saw him turn to look at us. Probably to look 00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:16.110 at you. Can't blame him for that. The funny thing 00:11:16.110 --> 00:11:18.710 is as soon as you turned around he got up very 00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:22.049 quickly and left Susan I don't remember seeing 00:11:22.049 --> 00:11:25.730 anyone in a plaid raincoat and I'm afraid I don't 00:11:25.730 --> 00:11:28.769 see anything unusual about it Well, I guess I 00:11:28.769 --> 00:11:31.309 didn't either I probably wouldn't have given 00:11:31.309 --> 00:11:34.669 it another thought but I I think I saw that same 00:11:34.669 --> 00:11:37.950 man here again today in Monterey. Oh, you're 00:11:37.950 --> 00:11:40.850 kidding I can't swear it was him. I didn't get 00:11:40.850 --> 00:11:43.649 a good look at his face the first time All I 00:11:43.649 --> 00:11:46.629 really noticed was the coat. And you saw the 00:11:46.629 --> 00:11:49.970 coat again? Is that it? Yes. He was carrying 00:11:49.970 --> 00:11:53.230 it over his arm. Oh, darling. You know the story 00:11:53.230 --> 00:11:56.710 about the airport truck. Airport truck? No. Well, 00:11:57.289 --> 00:11:59.090 this guy on a plane looks out the window and 00:11:59.090 --> 00:12:01.210 sees one of those little red airport trucks. 00:12:01.509 --> 00:12:03.389 You know, fueling the plane, bringing food aboard, 00:12:03.470 --> 00:12:05.889 something like that. Anyway, the plane takes 00:12:05.889 --> 00:12:09.169 off from New York and lands in Chicago. Another 00:12:09.169 --> 00:12:12.100 little red truck comes out to meet it. The guy 00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:15.679 next to him says, hey, we made good time, didn't 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.120 we? And he says, yeah, but that little red truck 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:23.820 really made time. Well, I can see that I didn't 00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:27.159 marry a great audience. Oh, I'm sorry, Dan. It's 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.799 just it bothered me a little. Oh, forget it. 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.799 And speaking of airports, next up, the City of 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:47.090 Angels. I wonder if they have this week's digest. 00:12:47.610 --> 00:12:53.470 Oh, I see it. Excuse me. Yes? You're Mrs. Daniel 00:12:53.470 --> 00:13:00.330 Carey, aren't you? Why, yes I am. Do I know you? 00:13:01.169 --> 00:13:04.669 No, Mrs. Carey, but I know you. I saw your husband 00:13:04.669 --> 00:13:07.509 leaving the hotel about half an hour ago. Were 00:13:07.509 --> 00:13:11.590 you planning on meeting him? Wait a minute. I've 00:13:11.590 --> 00:13:15.620 seen you before. Have you? You're the man with 00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:18.259 the coat the plaid raincoat. Well, you happen 00:13:18.259 --> 00:13:21.700 to be right I do own a plaid raincoat, but with 00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:25.580 this nice sunny weather look mrs. Kerry I know 00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:29.299 it seems as if I'm following. Yes, it does Well, 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.779 okay. It's true, but I've had a reason such as 00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:36.639 Could we talk about it someplace? There's a coffee 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.000 shop in the hotel. I'm sorry I don't even know 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.539 who you are. Maybe it would help if I introduced 00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:44.360 myself My name is Harrington lieutenant Gail 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.860 Harrington attached in New York City Police Department 00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:49.860 police. That's right. Mrs. Carey So you see what 00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:52.779 I have to discuss with you is police business, 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.539 but what what have I done? It's nothing you've 00:13:55.539 --> 00:14:00.860 done It concerns your husband And what he might 00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:22.070 do It looks like Dan and Susan Carey's honeymoon 00:14:22.070 --> 00:14:27.490 is in for a surprise, or perhaps more than one. 00:14:28.870 --> 00:14:32.029 Maybe Susan will soon wonder if her Aunt Clara 00:14:32.029 --> 00:14:36.190 wasn't right about a number of things, including 00:14:36.190 --> 00:14:40.210 her cynical advice about trusting no strangers. 00:14:41.629 --> 00:14:46.070 We'll find out about the new stranger in Susan's 00:14:46.070 --> 00:15:06.889 life. when I returned shortly with Act II. In 00:15:06.889 --> 00:15:09.830 the pleasant, cheerful atmosphere of a coffee 00:15:09.830 --> 00:15:14.580 shop, in a large Los Angeles hotel, Newlywed 00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:18.059 Susan Carey finds herself facing a man she has 00:15:18.059 --> 00:15:23.019 never seen before. A man whose solemn eyes look 00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:26.679 at her over a steaming cup of coffee and seem 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:32.720 to warn her of nightmares to come. But so far, 00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:35.659 Lieutenant Gail Harrington of the New York Police 00:15:35.659 --> 00:15:41.889 Department is merely asking questions. How long 00:15:41.889 --> 00:15:45.570 have you been married now? Only about 10 days. 00:15:46.070 --> 00:15:48.929 Was it a long engagement? Did you know your husband 00:15:48.929 --> 00:15:52.629 for some time before? No. No, not very long. 00:15:52.929 --> 00:15:56.409 Well, could you be more specific? How long ago 00:15:56.409 --> 00:16:02.129 did you meet him? And where? Well, it's a month 00:16:02.129 --> 00:16:05.690 now. Just about that. A month. Then you really 00:16:05.690 --> 00:16:08.230 don't know much about him, do you? You and Aunt 00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:11.360 Clara. Lieutenant, will you please tell me what 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.539 this is about? Has my husband committed some 00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:16.279 crime? Is that what you're implying? No, I didn't 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.299 say that, Mrs. Carey. But believe me, it would 00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:23.299 be helpful to both of us if you could just tell 00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:26.320 me a little bit about the circumstances. You 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.600 know, I don't see why this has to be so one -sided. 00:16:29.659 --> 00:16:34.600 Now, please bear with me. All right. I met Dan 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.980 at a party at a friend's house about a month 00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:40.649 ago. We talked a lot. We liked each other. We 00:16:40.649 --> 00:16:43.090 started dating. I saw him every single day. What 00:16:43.090 --> 00:16:45.169 business did he tell you, is it? You make it 00:16:45.169 --> 00:16:47.210 sound as if he lied to me. No, I didn't mean 00:16:47.210 --> 00:16:50.169 to do that. He's a management consultant. I know 00:16:50.169 --> 00:16:53.149 he is. He's just gotten a very important job 00:16:53.149 --> 00:16:55.789 in San Francisco. Head of the entire office. 00:16:56.470 --> 00:16:58.710 We're going there tomorrow. So that was the purpose 00:16:58.710 --> 00:17:01.669 of the trip. Yes. But since you've been married 00:17:01.669 --> 00:17:06.569 10 days, I gather it's a honeymoon as well. Naturally 00:17:06.569 --> 00:17:09.589 it is. Yes, naturally. You tell me... Mrs. Carey, 00:17:09.690 --> 00:17:11.789 do you know if your husband was ever married 00:17:11.789 --> 00:17:15.630 before? Married? No. Are you really certain? 00:17:16.309 --> 00:17:18.690 Now, wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me 00:17:18.690 --> 00:17:20.849 that Dan's a bigamist or something? No, Mrs. 00:17:21.009 --> 00:17:24.170 Carey, certainly not that. Then what is it? I've 00:17:24.170 --> 00:17:27.250 got to tell you, but you have to... have to understand 00:17:27.250 --> 00:17:30.910 one thing. I am not assigned to this case anymore. 00:17:30.990 --> 00:17:35.000 My interest is strictly unofficial. I may be 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.940 completely mistaken, but you're the only one 00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:39.660 who can prove it one way or another. Prove what? 00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:43.920 About whether your husband ever called himself 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:49.160 Don Crawford. And once, four years ago, David 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:54.900 Chase. See? All the same initials, like Dan Carey. 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.039 You are saying he's a criminal? Not just a criminal, 00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:05.730 Mrs. Carey. A wife killer. You're crazy. I hope 00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:09.069 so believe me I do Let me start at the beginning 00:18:09.069 --> 00:18:12.289 If you still think I'm crazy by the time I'm 00:18:12.289 --> 00:18:14.109 finished. I'll be happy to buy you that coffee 00:18:14.109 --> 00:18:17.410 and go on my way But if you think I'm not if 00:18:17.410 --> 00:18:20.569 you have any doubts And I want you to tell me 00:18:20.569 --> 00:18:25.650 so and let me help you All right, go on. I know 00:18:25.650 --> 00:18:30.430 you're wrong, but go on I first heard of Don 00:18:30.430 --> 00:18:33.049 Crawford back in 1965 when I was attached to 00:18:33.049 --> 00:18:36.950 the homicide detail in the Los Angeles PD. Mrs. 00:18:37.109 --> 00:18:39.470 Crawford was the former Edith Burbank. She was 00:18:39.470 --> 00:18:41.509 the youngest daughter of a wealthy family in 00:18:41.509 --> 00:18:45.250 Baltimore. Only when I saw her, she was never 00:18:45.250 --> 00:18:48.809 going to enjoy her money anymore. She was dead. 00:18:49.809 --> 00:18:52.910 Her throat had been cut by one of those quote 00:18:52.910 --> 00:18:56.190 mysterious intruders unquote that the papers 00:18:56.190 --> 00:19:00.160 liked to write about. Her husband Don was broken 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.460 -hearted naturally had only been married four 00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:08.359 weeks But her death also made him some money 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:14.220 Not a fortune really there was a mix -up about 00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:17.400 her will and He ended up with nothing but a handsome 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.500 payoff from the family. Mrs. Kerry. You okay? 00:19:22.099 --> 00:19:27.589 I Can't believe I'm sitting here Listening to 00:19:27.589 --> 00:19:31.089 this... I won't be long, I promise. Anyway, I 00:19:31.089 --> 00:19:32.930 was assigned to the Crawford case, and I didn't 00:19:32.930 --> 00:19:35.910 exactly cover myself with glory. You mean you 00:19:35.910 --> 00:19:38.549 never found the mysterious intruder. That's right. 00:19:38.849 --> 00:19:41.269 So naturally you decided that maybe there wasn't 00:19:41.269 --> 00:19:45.829 any... Let me go on, Mrs. Carey. Okay? Yes, yes, 00:19:45.930 --> 00:19:50.490 go on. Anyway, I ran into a similar case about 00:19:50.490 --> 00:19:53.890 four years ago. The murder of a young bride fresh 00:19:53.890 --> 00:19:56.809 from her honeymoon. A broken -hearted groom named 00:19:56.809 --> 00:20:01.470 David Chase. I thought Chase and Crawford were 00:20:01.470 --> 00:20:04.349 one and the same man. But I couldn't convince 00:20:04.349 --> 00:20:06.910 the district attorney of the resemblance. But 00:20:06.910 --> 00:20:12.470 I am still convinced, Mrs. Carey. And you think 00:20:12.470 --> 00:20:15.609 Dan is the same person? Oh, he's changed again, 00:20:15.690 --> 00:20:17.650 of course. His hair is lighter than Chase's. 00:20:17.650 --> 00:20:21.519 He's thinner and paler. There's something about 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.400 the face I can't forget and even if it's true 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.099 you still have no proof. Is that it? You couldn't 00:20:27.099 --> 00:20:29.099 solve your case. So you're holding on to your 00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:31.640 first solution. Wait, Mrs. Carey. Let me tell 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.400 you why I was so sure that Crawford and Chase 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.380 were the same man. It was because of the honeymoon. 00:20:38.859 --> 00:20:42.140 What? It's my theory that their honeymoons were 00:20:42.140 --> 00:20:46.079 identical. A compulsive honeymoon you might say. 00:20:46.769 --> 00:20:50.190 That is ridiculous criminals are like that creatures 00:20:50.190 --> 00:20:53.230 of habit most of them afraid to change a pattern 00:20:53.230 --> 00:20:55.329 Maybe for fear that their luck will change with 00:20:55.329 --> 00:21:00.170 it What do you mean by it I stumbled on the coincidence 00:21:00.170 --> 00:21:04.029 accidentally, but as far as I could trace it 00:21:04.029 --> 00:21:07.630 Don Crawford and David Chase took their brides 00:21:07.630 --> 00:21:10.490 to the same places. They did the same things 00:21:10.490 --> 00:21:14.509 And I knew that if I ever saw that pattern duplicated 00:21:15.069 --> 00:21:18.970 I would have my killer. I hope I'm wrong, Mrs. 00:21:19.170 --> 00:21:22.609 Carey. But you are the only one who can tell 00:21:22.609 --> 00:21:28.549 me. And my first question is this. Was your first 00:21:28.549 --> 00:21:35.049 stop Chicago? Yes. Yes, of course it was. And 00:21:35.049 --> 00:21:37.349 you knew that. That's where we first saw you, 00:21:37.369 --> 00:21:39.930 in Chicago, in that restaurant. Okay, okay. I 00:21:39.930 --> 00:21:43.150 just wanted to make sure. You can't possibly 00:21:43.150 --> 00:21:46.009 make something out of that. Dan wanted to see 00:21:46.009 --> 00:21:48.809 people in the Chicago office, and I thought it 00:21:48.809 --> 00:21:51.769 would be nice to visit my aunt in Evanston. She's 00:21:51.769 --> 00:21:55.869 my family. Was your next stop after Chicago in 00:21:55.869 --> 00:22:01.170 Texas? Yes. We went to Dallas. Dallas is a wonderful 00:22:01.170 --> 00:22:03.849 place to visit, Lieutenant. I don't see anything 00:22:03.849 --> 00:22:06.190 so peculiar about that. Both Chase and Crawford 00:22:06.190 --> 00:22:10.269 went to Dallas. They chose offbeat hotels. I 00:22:10.269 --> 00:22:12.170 guess they didn't care to be seen very much. 00:22:13.789 --> 00:22:16.329 Where did you stay in Dallas? It was a perfectly 00:22:16.329 --> 00:22:18.450 nice hotel. I don't think you could describe 00:22:18.450 --> 00:22:25.609 it as offbeat. All right. And then the next stop 00:22:25.609 --> 00:22:28.529 would be Monterey. You knew we were in Monterey 00:22:28.529 --> 00:22:30.390 because that's where I saw you the second time. 00:22:30.430 --> 00:22:32.690 By that time, Mrs. Carey, I'd made up my mind 00:22:32.690 --> 00:22:36.730 to follow you. Are you saying that these... these 00:22:36.730 --> 00:22:39.089 supposed wife killers you're talking about also 00:22:39.089 --> 00:22:42.029 went to Monterey? Yes, they did. And from Monterey 00:22:42.029 --> 00:22:46.450 to Las Vegas. Well, then you're wrong, Lieutenant. 00:22:46.750 --> 00:22:49.269 You're completely wrong. You mean you didn't 00:22:49.269 --> 00:22:53.029 go to Vegas? No. So there goes your famous theory, 00:22:53.210 --> 00:22:59.470 doesn't it? Well, I admit I'm spying... We changed 00:22:59.470 --> 00:23:01.430 our mind about Vegas. We decided that we might 00:23:01.430 --> 00:23:03.470 be too tempted to gamble away all the money we 00:23:03.470 --> 00:23:06.089 had for the trip. Ah, so you did have it on the 00:23:06.089 --> 00:23:10.490 schedule. Well, yes. Yes, we did, but we didn't 00:23:10.490 --> 00:23:15.619 go. I really think that changes the pattern. 00:23:16.500 --> 00:23:20.099 The fact that you didn't go. Oh, please, I... 00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:23.059 I can't stand any more of this. I... I don't 00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:26.259 want to hear any more. Mrs. Carey Edith Burbank 00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:29.019 was killed in Los Angeles in her hotel room. 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:32.380 This hotel. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm leaving 00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:34.220 right now. Mrs. Carey, wait. You're wrong. You're 00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:35.900 wrong. You've got Dan mixed up with someone else. 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.839 Let me finish, please. Just one more moment. 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:53.789 Oh, please. No, no, no. Please let me go. I didn't 00:23:53.789 --> 00:23:57.789 realize that you were back already. Yeah, I told 00:23:57.789 --> 00:23:59.190 you I wouldn't be gone more than half an hour. 00:23:59.730 --> 00:24:04.589 I thought you'd be in the room. I went downstairs 00:24:04.589 --> 00:24:08.509 to get a magazine. Didn't they have any? Well, 00:24:08.670 --> 00:24:12.170 I guess I forgot to buy one. I got to looking 00:24:12.170 --> 00:24:15.650 in the windows of the dress shops and I forgot 00:24:15.650 --> 00:24:20.470 my original purpose completely. Susan, are you 00:24:20.470 --> 00:24:25.119 okay? Of course, why do you ask? Don't know you 00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:29.220 you've got that funny look in your eyes again 00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:33.200 Have I doesn't matter? There's still the two 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:38.619 most beautiful eyes in the world Hey What is 00:24:38.619 --> 00:24:40.779 this don't tell me the honeymoon is over so soon 00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:45.700 Why do you say that? That was like kissing a 00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:51.140 snowman I Guess I I just don't feel like myself 00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:56.480 today. I think maybe All this traveling has worn 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.099 me down a little. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, we don't 00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:02.759 have much further to go. Just one more plane 00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:07.680 trip to San Francisco. Yes. Look, maybe you'd 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:09.519 rather not go out tonight. Maybe you ought to 00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.420 stay in, order some dinner in the room. I don't 00:25:11.420 --> 00:25:13.819 mind. But you wanted to go to that restaurant, 00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:17.160 the one you told me about. You've been looking 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.680 forward to it. The Landmark? Yeah, yeah. Well, 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:21.339 I did want to try the place. Food's supposed 00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:24.230 to be really spectacular. But you've never eaten 00:25:24.230 --> 00:25:27.730 there before. Well, no, how could I? I've never 00:25:27.730 --> 00:25:31.210 been in LA before. I was thinking today that, 00:25:31.750 --> 00:25:34.269 well, you seemed to know the city so well when 00:25:34.269 --> 00:25:36.630 we drove around. You didn't seem to have the 00:25:36.630 --> 00:25:40.150 slightest trouble. Streets are very well marked 00:25:40.150 --> 00:25:41.809 in this town. It's really a pleasure to drive 00:25:41.809 --> 00:25:48.890 here. Look, you know what I think? I think you 00:25:48.890 --> 00:25:53.309 ought to take a nap before dinner. Yes. I was 00:25:53.309 --> 00:25:56.529 thinking of lying down, but I don't think I can 00:25:56.529 --> 00:26:01.670 sleep. Okay, then, just read your magazine. Wait 00:26:01.670 --> 00:26:03.849 a minute, you haven't got one. I'll take care 00:26:03.849 --> 00:26:06.750 of that. Where are you going? Going to get my 00:26:06.750 --> 00:26:09.670 bride something to read. How about a nice magazine 00:26:09.670 --> 00:26:12.509 about cooking? You know, I never did ask you 00:26:12.509 --> 00:26:16.470 if you can cook. Just get me a news magazine 00:26:16.470 --> 00:26:18.869 of some kind, all right? Uh -huh, the brainy 00:26:18.869 --> 00:26:22.420 type. I should have known. See you in ten minutes. 00:26:23.619 --> 00:26:26.019 I'll take the key so you won't have to get up. 00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:37.099 Yes. All right. Oh, dear God. It can't be true. 00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:40.740 There just can't be any truth to what that man 00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:45.920 said. He's made a mistake. A terrible mistake. 00:26:49.769 --> 00:26:55.410 luggage his initials DC oh but anyone could have 00:26:55.410 --> 00:27:06.549 those initials anyone it's open for heaven's 00:27:06.549 --> 00:27:10.250 sake what am I doing searching my husband's luggage 00:27:10.250 --> 00:27:17.329 like like some kind of hotel thief no I won't 00:27:17.329 --> 00:27:22.880 do it I won't. I'm not going to believe any of 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:34.779 it. I won't. Who's that? Hello? Mrs. Carey, it's 00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:38.259 Gail Harrington. Leave me alone. Stop bothering 00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:40.380 me. You shouldn't have run off like that, Mrs. 00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.059 Carey. You didn't give me a chance to finish 00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:45.880 what I was saying. I told you. I don't want to 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:50.140 hear anymore. It isn't true. You've made a mistake, 00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:52.660 Lieutenant. Your husband is at the newsstand 00:27:52.660 --> 00:27:55.980 right now, Mrs. Carey. I can see him from where 00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:59.180 I'm standing at the house phones. The more I 00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:01.900 look at him, the more sure I am that I'm right. 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:04.539 No, you're wrong. I want you to hear the rest 00:28:04.539 --> 00:28:08.680 of the story about Crawford and David Chase and 00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:11.859 what they did on their honeymoon. Maybe what 00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:14.079 I told you before didn't convince you, but if 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:15.900 you heard a few more things... I'm going to hang 00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:49.279 up, Lieutenant, right now. Susan Carey seems 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.200 to have a date at the Landmark restaurant in 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:57.299 Los Angeles with her loving husband, Dan. If 00:28:57.299 --> 00:29:01.579 she keeps the date, something tells me that she's 00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:04.859 not going to do their cuisine very much justice, 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.700 because one needs peace of mind to enjoy good 00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:15.809 food. Fear affects the salivary glands. and terror 00:29:15.809 --> 00:29:20.269 ruins the taste buds. I'll be back shortly with 00:29:20.269 --> 00:29:36.130 Act 3. Well, what have we here? A quiet meal 00:29:36.130 --> 00:29:41.390 for two at the landmark restaurant? No. We seem 00:29:41.390 --> 00:29:45.099 to be in a hotel room. The same room in which 00:29:45.099 --> 00:29:47.900 we last saw our honeymooning couple, Susan and 00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:51.420 Dan Carey. Obviously, there's been a change of 00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:55.079 plan. Room service has provided the meal for 00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:58.920 the two lovers this evening. Can it be that Susan 00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.279 Carey has decided that if there is a pattern, 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.500 it must be broken? Have some more wine, honey? 00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:11.339 No. I really don't think I want any. Hey, come 00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:15.200 on. You know what this bottle cost? You shouldn't 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.779 have been so extravagant. I just wanted to make 00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:23.619 up. Well, never mind. You mean for not taking 00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:26.619 me to the landmark. No, it doesn't really matter. 00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:29.579 I told you it's... it's fun to eat in the room. 00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:33.140 It's very elegant. I'm sure you were disappointed 00:30:33.140 --> 00:30:36.779 in it. No, I... I really wasn't. Look, we're 00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:38.640 not going to be very far from Los Angeles. We'll 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.960 probably fly down from San Francisco a few times 00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.390 a year. There are dozens of wonderful restaurants 00:30:43.390 --> 00:30:45.750 in San Francisco, too, aren't there? So they 00:30:45.750 --> 00:30:47.670 tell me. I'll ask the guys at the office for 00:30:47.670 --> 00:30:50.650 recommendations. I think this food is quite good, 00:30:50.710 --> 00:30:55.789 don't you? Yeah, sure. It's fine. Tastes even 00:30:55.789 --> 00:30:59.369 better with the wine. Well, all right. I'll have 00:30:59.369 --> 00:31:03.650 some more, I guess. That a girl. Now, look, I'm 00:31:03.650 --> 00:31:05.250 not trying to get you drunk, you understand, 00:31:05.269 --> 00:31:08.490 so I can take advantage of you. Although, you 00:31:08.490 --> 00:31:11.849 look very delectable in that robe. Did you really 00:31:11.849 --> 00:31:15.769 like it? Irresistible. I didn't take much of 00:31:15.769 --> 00:31:18.170 a wardrobe with me. You said you were going to 00:31:18.170 --> 00:31:21.490 buy clothes in San Francisco. Yes. If I can find 00:31:21.490 --> 00:31:23.369 out where to go, I... I'll take you down to Union 00:31:23.369 --> 00:31:26.650 Square. I hear that's the place. I have told 00:31:26.650 --> 00:31:29.990 you about the weekend, haven't I? No. What about 00:31:29.990 --> 00:31:32.809 it? Well, I thought we'd get our first look at 00:31:32.809 --> 00:31:35.029 the town by taking one of those Circle Line cruises. 00:31:35.369 --> 00:31:38.210 That OK with you? Oh, yes. That sounds lovely. 00:31:38.650 --> 00:31:41.549 I love to see places by water. And if we can 00:31:41.549 --> 00:31:43.910 squeeze it in, we might go picnicking in Golden 00:31:43.910 --> 00:31:46.490 Gate Park. They've got this Japanese tea garden 00:31:46.490 --> 00:31:49.650 that's supposed to be very nice. Yes. All sounds 00:31:49.650 --> 00:31:55.690 wonderful, Dan. Susan, I... I just wish you felt 00:31:55.690 --> 00:31:59.470 better. Listen, I... Maybe you ought to check 00:31:59.470 --> 00:32:01.589 with the hotel doctor, in case you picked up 00:32:01.589 --> 00:32:03.970 a bug or something. Do I look that bad to you? 00:32:04.230 --> 00:32:19.450 No. You look just... great to me. Darling. Yeah, 00:32:19.470 --> 00:32:21.349 I think that'd be a good idea honey reserve the 00:32:21.349 --> 00:32:23.430 car ahead of time Then we can pick it up right 00:32:23.430 --> 00:32:25.509 away in San Francisco. Whatever you think Dan 00:32:25.509 --> 00:32:27.109 you wait right here. I'll go over to the counter 00:32:27.109 --> 00:32:34.029 He's all right be back in ten minutes. All right, 00:32:34.690 --> 00:32:40.450 Dan This is Carrie, oh no Not you again. I didn't 00:32:40.450 --> 00:32:44.589 mean to start you Go away, please go away I don't 00:32:44.589 --> 00:32:46.450 want to see you anymore. I hear anything you 00:32:46.450 --> 00:32:50.309 have to say. I know that I seem to be persecuting 00:32:50.309 --> 00:32:52.349 you or something. As you can see, Lieutenant, 00:32:53.089 --> 00:32:56.269 I am in perfectly good health. I was not murdered 00:32:56.269 --> 00:32:59.069 in my sleep in that hotel room. Look, Mrs. Carey, 00:32:59.230 --> 00:33:01.130 I've only got a few minutes before your husband 00:33:01.130 --> 00:33:04.009 gets back. I just wanted to finish my story about 00:33:04.009 --> 00:33:06.690 this other guy, this David Chase. I don't care 00:33:06.690 --> 00:33:09.490 if you are a policeman. I'll call someone and 00:33:09.490 --> 00:33:11.990 have you arrested for bothering me. David Chase's 00:33:11.990 --> 00:33:15.329 wife didn't get killed in Los Angeles. She died 00:33:15.329 --> 00:33:18.369 in San Francisco. Where? In her hotel room? No, 00:33:18.410 --> 00:33:22.589 not there. But they stayed at the San Remo. Is 00:33:22.589 --> 00:33:26.069 that where you're staying? Yes. But millions 00:33:26.069 --> 00:33:28.690 of people do. No, there wasn't any mysterious 00:33:28.690 --> 00:33:32.029 intruder this time. In fact, Mrs. Chase's death 00:33:32.029 --> 00:33:35.309 was listed officially as an accident. She had 00:33:35.309 --> 00:33:37.470 a little too much to drink at dinner and her 00:33:37.470 --> 00:33:40.670 feet got tangled up on top of a very steep hill. 00:33:41.410 --> 00:33:45.390 The fall broke her neck. It was her very first 00:33:45.390 --> 00:33:48.089 day in San Francisco. She and her husband had 00:33:48.089 --> 00:33:50.430 quite a day, too. They took one of those boat 00:33:50.430 --> 00:33:53.569 cruises to see the city. Then they went to Golden 00:33:53.569 --> 00:33:57.890 Gate Park to the Japanese Tea Garden. Miss Carrie, 00:33:57.910 --> 00:34:08.579 are you okay? No. No, I'm... I'm not okay. How 00:34:08.579 --> 00:34:11.400 could I be? That night they went to a restaurant 00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:14.559 called the Vendome. That's where the lady drank 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:16.960 too much, at least according to her husband. 00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.599 Oh, dear God. Listen, Mrs. Carey, I can't follow 00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.079 you anymore. I've got a job to get back to. I 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.820 want you to take this. A con. Quiet. Don't draw 00:34:25.820 --> 00:34:28.679 anyone's attention to us. Just take it. If I'm 00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:30.380 wrong and you don't need it, fine. Just throw 00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:35.590 it away. No. I cannot have you on my conscience, 00:34:35.750 --> 00:34:41.369 don't you understand? All right. Yes, all right. 00:34:41.550 --> 00:34:46.650 I'll take it. I still say you're wrong. I hope 00:34:46.650 --> 00:35:02.030 so. But I don't think I am. Hello? Yes. This 00:35:02.030 --> 00:35:04.110 is the message desk. Your husband left a message 00:35:04.110 --> 00:35:06.730 here for you at four o 'clock. Oh, I've been 00:35:06.730 --> 00:35:09.070 out until now. Would you like me to read it to 00:35:09.070 --> 00:35:13.210 you? Yes, please. It says, we'll be at the office 00:35:13.210 --> 00:35:16.289 until six. Should be there no later than six 00:35:16.289 --> 00:35:19.949 -thirty, loved in. Oh, yes. Thank you very much. 00:35:20.250 --> 00:35:34.909 Welcome. Bye. Bye. 620 now. Oh, God. Why do I 00:35:34.909 --> 00:35:40.690 keep staring at his luggage? Why can't I just 00:35:40.690 --> 00:35:48.489 forget about it? No. It isn't dishonest. It's 00:35:48.489 --> 00:35:56.190 just something I have to do. No, no, no. Nothing 00:35:56.190 --> 00:36:03.550 in this one but clothing. This one has papers 00:36:03.550 --> 00:36:10.210 and things. All his documents. Birth certificate. 00:36:12.030 --> 00:36:17.590 Honorable discharge. U .S. Navy. Daniel Eldon 00:36:17.590 --> 00:36:21.789 Carey. That is his name. It is. That Matt Harrington 00:36:21.789 --> 00:36:27.210 was wrong. Doesn't this mean he was wrong? Or 00:36:27.210 --> 00:36:31.860 does it just mean that... I'm not going to start 00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:38.300 thinking that way. These look like photographs. 00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:43.199 Maybe his family. Oh, no, wait.

Because I 00:39:15.780 --> 00:39:20.360 know it all. I know everything. Oh! No, no, no. 00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.059 Don't. No, don't come near me. I'll call the 00:39:22.059 --> 00:39:24.420 police. Now, Susan, look. I don't know what the 00:39:24.420 --> 00:39:26.659 trouble is, but you've got to be sick. You need 00:39:26.659 --> 00:39:28.179 help. No, don't come any closer. You've been 00:39:28.179 --> 00:39:30.159 acting funny ever since we left Chicago. I warn 00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:34.500 you. Look. Look. My God. I've got a gun. Susan, 00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:37.079 put that down! I'm not going to end up like them! 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.099 Give me that thing, Susan! Don't! Oh, don't, 00:39:40.099 --> 00:39:54.860 damn it! Susan! I don't want to shoot you! One 00:39:54.860 --> 00:40:04.699 second. Well... Mr. Harvey? Mrs. Carey, I didn't 00:40:04.699 --> 00:40:09.099 know that you were... Look, let me just get a 00:40:09.099 --> 00:40:11.559 shirt on. I was just shaving. I'm sure you're 00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:14.679 surprised to see me, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah, 00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:19.519 I am. I... I didn't expect that you'd... What 00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.199 brings you back to L .A.? I'm sure you know, 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.480 Mr. Harvey. That is the right name, isn't it? 00:40:25.699 --> 00:40:30.409 Not Harrington? Guess that means you know all 00:40:30.409 --> 00:40:34.510 about my little joke the gun Wasn't a joke was 00:40:34.510 --> 00:40:37.590 it? The gun was real now look I can tell you're 00:40:37.590 --> 00:40:40.750 upset, but I didn't mean any harm. I mean I like 00:40:40.750 --> 00:40:44.329 Dan I really do spied my husband mr.. Harvey 00:40:44.329 --> 00:40:47.650 Why don't you admit it you hated the fact that 00:40:47.650 --> 00:40:50.920 he got the job you wanted in San Francisco? All 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.539 you got was an assistant manager's job in Chicago. 00:40:53.539 --> 00:40:56.840 You are wrong I just thought it would be a good 00:40:56.840 --> 00:41:01.360 gag a good joke on Danny boys I've heard about 00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:05.199 your reputation the great practical Joker you 00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.380 thought of a great one this time Yeah, but that's 00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:10.820 all it was gave Dan the itinerary for our honeymoon 00:41:10.820 --> 00:41:14.340 trip. You were just being helpful, of course 00:41:14.750 --> 00:41:18.090 You gave him all the names and places, all the 00:41:18.090 --> 00:41:20.210 benefit of your traveling experience. That was 00:41:20.210 --> 00:41:23.230 the gag. See, I thought if Dan took you to all 00:41:23.230 --> 00:41:25.429 the places I listed for him... You even knew 00:41:25.429 --> 00:41:28.230 about Edith, the girl he was once engaged to, 00:41:28.230 --> 00:41:31.309 the one who died. She became his murder victim 00:41:31.309 --> 00:41:34.489 in your little fantasy. What did you think would 00:41:34.489 --> 00:41:36.710 happen, Mr. Harvey? Did I get frightened enough 00:41:36.710 --> 00:41:39.369 to kill Dan so that you might get the job he 00:41:39.369 --> 00:41:43.010 took away from you? Listen, is Dan all right? 00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:46.000 Thought you might want this back. Mr. Harvey 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.199 your gun. Oh, no, wait a minute. Don't do anything 00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.840 stupid. Oh, you don't have to worry. I Found 00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:56.619 out that I'm a terrible shot but then Dan's alive 00:41:56.619 --> 00:42:05.360 See for yourself Hello Marty Dan Thank heavens 00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.820 you're okay. Look Dan. I didn't mean for anything 00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:13.619 serious to happen See the bandage Marty Just 00:42:13.619 --> 00:42:16.260 a flesh wound in my arm, I'll be okay. I'm glad 00:42:16.260 --> 00:42:19.340 to hear it, Danny. Honest, I am. But I am learning 00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:21.780 to use my left arm, though. Like this. Wait a 00:42:21.780 --> 00:42:25.280 minute. Wait a minute. Oh, no. No, don't. Please. 00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:29.119 I didn't mean to... Don't hit me again. Relax, 00:42:29.300 --> 00:42:34.619 Marty. I've got better things to do. I've got 00:42:34.619 --> 00:42:38.699 a honeymoon to finish. Although, with any luck, 00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:50.760 it'll never end. So you see, even murder stories 00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:55.219 can have happy endings. Martin Harvey may have 00:42:55.219 --> 00:42:58.699 spoiled Susan and Dan's honeymoon, but that doesn't 00:42:58.699 --> 00:43:02.760 mean he managed to spoil their marriage. No, 00:43:03.579 --> 00:43:06.980 if that's going to happen, Susan and Dan will 00:43:06.980 --> 00:43:11.519 take care of that all by themselves. I'll be 00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:25.360 back shortly. A purist might claim that the story 00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:28.940 you have just heard isn't a murder story, since 00:43:28.940 --> 00:43:32.940 no one was actually killed. The murders which 00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:36.280 took place were all in the imagination of Martin 00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.900 Harvey, who passed them on to the mind of Susan 00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:43.639 Carey. But it's a good demonstration of the point 00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:47.260 we've tried to make all along, that the most 00:43:47.260 --> 00:43:51.739 terrifying crimes can happen within the theater 00:43:51.980 --> 00:43:57.500 of the mind. Our cast included Betsy von Furstenberg, 00:43:58.139 --> 00:44:01.579 Michael Wager, Elspeth Eric, and Mason Adams. 00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:04.619 The entire production was under the direction 00:44:04.619 --> 00:44:08.639 of Hyman Brown. This is E .G. Marshall inviting 00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.139 you to return to our Mystery Theatre for another 00:44:12.139 --> 00:44:18.579 adventure in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant 00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:19.480 dreams.
