WEBVTT 00:00:18.629 --> 00:00:26.350 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:26.350 --> 00:00:30.370 to the sounds of suspense, to the fear you can 00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:35.350 hear. Make yourself comfortable, for there are 00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:39.950 ill winds blowing outside. This is a tale of 00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:43.350 a titanic struggle between two colossal forces, 00:00:44.090 --> 00:00:48.710 one natural, the other supernatural. The prize, 00:00:49.609 --> 00:00:53.630 a girl's soul. And in the clash, as fire and 00:00:53.630 --> 00:00:58.229 water mix, there is the very devil to pay. Come 00:00:58.229 --> 00:01:01.670 with me now to the Solway Firth in Scotland to 00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:08.049 meet the first of the forces. It's the tide! 00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:11.469 It comes in faster than an express train. Is 00:01:11.469 --> 00:01:15.170 it always like this? Twice a day. Doesn't it 00:01:15.170 --> 00:01:18.239 ever break? It will when it gets just about abreast 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.760 of us. Isn't it exciting? That's one word for 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.500 it. That's why you don't dare go out on the flats 00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:27.420 on foot. If the tide was due, you'd never make 00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:37.620 it ashore. Our mystery drama, Speak of the Devil, 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.299 was written especially for the Mystery Theatre 00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:44.400 by Ian Martin and stars Jada Rowland and Nick 00:01:44.400 --> 00:02:01.359 Pryor. I'll be back shortly with Act One. They 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.319 say he who dreams on the Solway will wake in 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.139 another world. Not only is the tide a terror, 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.099 but so are the quicksands, and far worse than 00:02:13.099 --> 00:02:17.780 either. The bogies, warlocks, and unnamed things 00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:21.520 that haunt Scottish history. The Scots word for 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.580 tonight's story is eldritch. It means uncanny, 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.680 eerie, frightful, otherworldly. Listen. If you'll 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.680 put out the light, Mrs. Petrie. Hold my hand, 00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:45.199 Mike. You'd better hold both, mine. Why? You 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.699 can't trust me in the dark. I'm sorry, Colonel 00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:55.000 Bruce. Now Mike, Mary Ellen, I know you two young 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.419 ones think a seance is a mite daft, but it's 00:02:58.419 --> 00:03:01.900 not the way the Colonel, Mrs. Petrie and I feel. 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.740 Well, then maybe we'd better not stay. Oh, no. 00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:07.560 We need five of the circle. It's a blessing you're 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:15.060 here. But please, be serious. All of us have 00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:17.599 made contact with your dearest ones who have 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.300 passed on through my control Control? That's 00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:26.719 a messenger who brings us messages Honour to 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:33.500 He once was a slave in Babylon Babylon? This 00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:38.759 is scary Hang in darling Now may we all join 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:45.520 hands, please I'm asking you not to break the 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:52.719 chain of contact now. Clear your minds. Make 00:03:52.719 --> 00:04:01.639 them a blank. A quiet place. I'm reaching now. 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:10.219 Reaching away and above and out and over from 00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:17.620 here. to the bonny, bonny other place that lies 00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:26.100 beyond our kin. We're biding here, Anatu, asking 00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:33.139 you back into our circle. Will you not come back 00:04:33.139 --> 00:05:14.790 to us again? At all. Yes, yes. It burned. It 00:05:14.790 --> 00:05:19.689 burned. Ellen, where's that damn light? Mary 00:05:19.689 --> 00:05:24.509 Ellen, are you all right? Yes, sir. What's all 00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:26.850 that smoke? That's just the incense we burn. 00:05:26.990 --> 00:05:30.389 I'm the one to blame for Madeleine and the business 00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:34.810 of the Lord. We'll not ever have a seance in 00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:41.050 this house again. I'm afraid that I loosed some 00:05:41.050 --> 00:05:51.740 devil out of hell. this night. Ouch. Oh, don't 00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:54.240 wriggle so much. You stuck the pin in me, Aunt 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.920 Jeannie. Oh, I'm sorry, Ellen. Oh, but it'll 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.439 take more than a pinprick to burst your happiness. 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.079 Thank you, Aunt Jeannie, for letting me come 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.420 home to be married and for such a heavenly day. 00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.199 Oh, well, I'll accept the thanks for bidding 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.959 you back to where you grew up. When dad died 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.660 so suddenly, I was lost. I didn't know what to 00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:20.680 do. Well, you did just the right thing. You came 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.839 home. You're two modern young people who are 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.879 a lot smarter than we old people are. And it's 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.439 proud I am to be part of the gamble you're making 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.560 in your lives. I am all goosebumps. I'll get 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.040 back into my jeans and sweater. I've got a skin, 00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:41.709 just like I had last Wednesday night. Don't mention 00:06:41.709 --> 00:06:45.089 it. I should never have had you children in that 00:06:45.089 --> 00:06:50.970 circle. It was so scary. What happened? I don't 00:06:50.970 --> 00:06:54.750 know. It was some kind of trick, wasn't it? I 00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:58.110 don't play tricks. Well, it was Maggie, your 00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.949 mother, who had the second sight, you know, that 00:07:01.949 --> 00:07:08.649 we were so delicate and so, so vibrant when she 00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:13.250 died. tore the heart out of me. But Will went 00:07:13.250 --> 00:07:18.870 off to America and left me to bring you up. Well, 00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:23.189 it put my heart back. And then when you were 00:07:23.189 --> 00:07:25.709 15 and almost grown up and he wanted you to join 00:07:25.709 --> 00:07:30.970 him, I was left alone again. How could I stop 00:07:30.970 --> 00:07:34.889 you going? I didn't want to go. I know. But you 00:07:34.889 --> 00:07:39.360 were his flesh and blood. I found a way out of 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.120 my loneliness. Nights when the roar of the tide 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.439 used to come boiling up the firth outside the 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.139 windows there. I thought I could hear Maggie 00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:52.139 calling to me. But when the wind was curling 00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:55.259 out of the northeast, I'd hear her voice on the 00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:59.379 wings of the blow. And I began to think maybe 00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:04.379 I had the call too. That's when I started the 00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:10.220 seances. Until the other night. Yes. I'll never 00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:12.839 hold a seance again. So the subject is closed. 00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:17.139 I realize I'm just a foolish old woman. I've 00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:19.300 never been so scared. Well, promise me to put 00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:23.560 it out of your mind. What's past is past. Your 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.899 future is all that matters. It seems so right 00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:32.779 to be back. As if... As if something were calling 00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:39.529 me. Hold! I'll stir up the fire. No. No, don't 00:08:39.529 --> 00:08:42.590 bother. I just miss my American Central heating. 00:08:43.590 --> 00:08:45.590 I think I'll go outside in the sun for a minute 00:08:45.590 --> 00:08:49.009 or two. Oh. Go take a good brisk turn down the 00:08:49.009 --> 00:08:52.330 road while I finish this hem. That's a good idea. 00:08:52.509 --> 00:08:54.710 Ah, but don't go down the Firth Road. Take the 00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:58.750 High Road. Why? Well, I saw your Michael off 00:08:58.750 --> 00:09:02.169 this morning for the Solway. You don't want to 00:09:02.169 --> 00:09:05.440 run into the bridegroom on the wedding day. It's 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:18.320 bad luck. Kiss me, Ellen. Aunt Jeannie thinks 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.779 it's bad luck for the bride and groom to see 00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:23.019 each other on the wedding day. You can't fault 00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:25.600 that. Back in Nebraska, my mother used to feel 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.120 the same way. But that's just old -fashioned. 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.559 And Aunt Jeannie's something else? Darling, your 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.740 Aunt Jeannie sure is something else. Good or 00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:40.120 bad About 90 % good. I just don't dig the spirit 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:44.480 kick. We won't have any more of that It was awful 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.659 though, wasn't it? That's all kind of self -hypnosis 00:09:48.659 --> 00:09:53.279 That terrible raspy voice Whatever it was saying 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.299 Ellen there wasn't any voice You didn't hear 00:09:57.299 --> 00:10:00.539 it I heard something that sounded like your aunt 00:10:00.539 --> 00:10:03.179 choking herself to death. But the first voice. 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.899 That. That's just the old girl practicing a little 00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:11.759 ventriloquism. No. No, that awful burning smell. 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.200 Well, I will admit I like the Hare Krishna incense 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.779 better. Come on, Ellen, let's forget all that 00:10:17.779 --> 00:10:22.159 mumbo jumbo. Hey, dig that crazy character out 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.039 there. Fishing in those little pools in the flats? 00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:29.220 What's crazy about that? On horseback? But everyone 00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:33.879 does because of the tide. The tide? I forgot. 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:36.720 If we hadn't been up in Glasgow wedding shopping, 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.720 I'd have shown it to you. Look out there to the 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.799 west. If that ghillie is up on his horse, it 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.679 must be... Oh, yes. Here it comes. And there 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.000 he goes. You'd think the devil was on his tail. 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.700 What's his hurry? Look. The tidal boar. It's 00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:55.009 coming. You mean that big wave down at the mouth 00:10:55.009 --> 00:10:57.649 of the estuary? Yes, it's the tide. It comes 00:10:57.649 --> 00:11:02.769 in faster than an express train. Listen. Holy 00:11:02.769 --> 00:11:06.110 Maloney. Is it always like this? Twice a day. 00:11:06.250 --> 00:11:09.049 Worse than the ottoman in the spring. Doesn't 00:11:09.049 --> 00:11:11.570 it ever break? It will when it gets just about 00:11:11.570 --> 00:11:14.769 abreast of us. Isn't it exciting? That's one 00:11:14.769 --> 00:11:17.110 word for it. That's why you don't dare go out 00:11:17.110 --> 00:11:19.690 on the flats on foot. If the tide was due, you'd 00:11:19.690 --> 00:11:43.740 never make it ashore. What, sir? Husband. Read 00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:47.340 that loud and clear. On my way. What's taking 00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:51.000 you so long? Just brushing my teeth. Please come 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.519 to bed. Why didn't you say that in the first 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:57.120 place? Will you come under the covers? I'm freezing. 00:11:57.659 --> 00:12:00.320 I'll put some more coal in the fire. I don't 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.539 want coal. I want my brand -new husband. You 00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:11.669 got him. What is it, darling? Nothing. It's just... 00:12:11.669 --> 00:12:16.769 just that funny smell. It's the coal smoke. Remember, 00:12:17.389 --> 00:12:20.830 you don't want coal to keep you warm. Just me. 00:12:21.950 --> 00:12:34.490 Oh, my darling. Yes. Yes, yes. My husband. My 00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:45.320 darling. My husband. You. No, no, please. No, 00:12:46.460 --> 00:13:16.340 no. Don't don't touch me. Go away. Michael, is 00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:18.899 there anything wrong? No, Aunt Jeannie, why? 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.940 Well, I was dozing and I thought I had... What's 00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:29.519 that I smell? Is it your candle? Oh, I guess 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.759 I let the fire go out. Aye, it's a damp chimney, 00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:39.100 but just the same... Is Mary Ellen all right? 00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:43.500 She's sound asleep. See for yourself. I'm sorry 00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:47.220 to bother you, but... What is it? What's troubling 00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:51.960 you? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I was 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.940 the one that dreamed it. Oh, be gentle with her, 00:13:56.059 --> 00:14:01.779 Michael. She's so sensitive and delicate. Like 00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:04.379 her mother that died all those years ago. We'll 00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:07.559 keep her from any harm. Good night, Aunt Jeannie. 00:14:07.940 --> 00:14:16.159 Good night, Michael dear. If we can. If it's 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:21.120 in human hands to be able to... Snuff my candle 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.259 out, if you will, old Ricky. But hear me this. 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.240 You'll not have Mary Ellen. You'll not have her 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:40.190 like my sister Maggie. Old Reekie could be translated, 00:14:40.929 --> 00:14:44.269 Old Smokey. It's a Scots name for the devil. 00:14:45.529 --> 00:14:47.669 Genie should know better than to mention him, 00:14:47.809 --> 00:14:50.769 for the old proverb says, speak of the devil, 00:14:51.330 --> 00:14:54.830 and his horns appear. Let's see when I return 00:14:54.830 --> 00:15:11.870 shortly with Act Two. Dreams are made to die 00:15:11.870 --> 00:15:15.509 with the opening of day, and superstition fades 00:15:15.509 --> 00:15:18.990 and falters in the sunlight. So, by the following 00:15:18.990 --> 00:15:21.970 morning, we might hope our bride and bridegroom 00:15:21.970 --> 00:15:26.129 wake and rise on the right side of the bed. Let's 00:15:26.129 --> 00:15:29.610 find out as Michael comes downstairs. Oh, good 00:15:29.610 --> 00:15:31.710 morning, Michael. I'm in the kitchen. Come on 00:15:31.710 --> 00:15:36.370 out. Morning, Aunt Jenny. Well, how is the bridegroom 00:15:36.370 --> 00:15:40.210 today? Well, the bridegroom's first rate. It's 00:15:40.210 --> 00:15:43.350 the bride who's not. Oh. What's wrong with the 00:15:43.350 --> 00:15:46.950 wheel -ass? Oh, I don't know. I think now you 00:15:46.950 --> 00:15:51.750 were right last night. Huh? Right? About what? 00:15:52.570 --> 00:15:57.929 Well, she had some kind of a bad dream. But if 00:15:57.929 --> 00:16:02.350 she did, she won't tell me about it. What do 00:16:02.350 --> 00:16:04.789 you think it might have been? Oh, I don't know. 00:16:05.210 --> 00:16:08.470 She's a sensitive wee thing. And she's back in 00:16:08.470 --> 00:16:10.389 the part of the house where her mother died. 00:16:10.909 --> 00:16:14.409 That was Maggie's room you're in. Maybe I should 00:16:14.409 --> 00:16:17.690 never have put you there. Anyway, I'll get her 00:16:17.690 --> 00:16:30.590 tea and go on up and have a wee chat. And I couldn't 00:16:30.590 --> 00:16:35.289 tell Mike. I couldn't. Not after what we... My 00:16:35.289 --> 00:16:39.899 wedding night. How could I dream anything so... 00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:46.379 so vile and hideous? That great, gross presence 00:16:46.379 --> 00:16:53.320 bearing down on me. Breath so sick, the lips 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:58.960 slavering, and that awful fur, fur all over. 00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:06.440 And the fire burning me, and that scorching smell. 00:17:09.349 --> 00:17:13.250 What a genie. What a nightmare. Oh, wished now. 00:17:13.470 --> 00:17:17.069 Then that's all it was. But it seems so real. 00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:20.230 Well, it wasn't. Because when I came by, you 00:17:20.230 --> 00:17:24.349 were sleepin' sound. Drink your tea now. It's 00:17:24.349 --> 00:17:26.549 a good thing you married that nice American boy 00:17:26.549 --> 00:17:31.509 with his head screwed good and tight. Mike. He'll 00:17:31.509 --> 00:17:35.329 blow all the cobwebs out of your head. And he's 00:17:35.329 --> 00:17:38.529 going to have a good chance to. What do you mean? 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:43.119 I mean, you two are going to have a nice honeymoon 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.940 all alone for a big, long month. Where are you 00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:49.880 going? Oh, I've got an old girls' school chum 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.339 who lives just outside Blackpool at St. Anne 00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:56.000 on Sea. For years she's wanted me to visit. I'm 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.920 not going to drive you out of your house. Oh, 00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:59.839 you're going to do more than that, Mary Ellen. 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.500 You and your handsome bonnie husband are going 00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:06.589 to move downstairs to my room. away from this 00:18:06.589 --> 00:18:09.769 draughty old flu. And while I'm gone, I'm going 00:18:09.769 --> 00:18:12.029 to get it fixed so the fire will burn clean. 00:18:12.329 --> 00:18:25.609 And I'll not take no for an answer. I thought 00:18:25.609 --> 00:18:27.809 Scottish weather was supposed to be terrible. 00:18:28.450 --> 00:18:32.819 Rainy, damp, no sunshine. This has been a very 00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:37.839 particular May. Our honeymoon. Yes. Sorry it's 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:42.799 over. Desolate. Still, with Aunt Jeannie back, 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.480 maybe you'll get a little more work done on the 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.339 book. Darling, I have been busy in research. 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:53.019 It is a love story. Speaking of that, do you 00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:56.599 think... Look down the road. I can't. Your front's 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.039 in the way. That's Dr. Ferguson bringing Aunt 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.359 Jeannie back. Our month is up Speaking of your 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.460 front. Do you know how you blossomed in the last 00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:09.539 four weeks? All right playboy. Let's concentrate 00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:12.000 on other physical problems. How do we get out 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:16.799 of a hammock without breaking a limb? Welcome 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:22.019 home Aunt Jeannie Ellen precious You've turned 00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:25.019 into a real scots lassie. You've got the bloom 00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:28.460 on your cheeks. It's happiness and those warm 00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:31.039 spring winds from the west. Hello, Dr. Ferguson. 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.019 Hey, wheel, Mrs. Tilson. As a physician, I can 00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:36.819 only concur with your aunt's diagnosis. You're 00:19:36.819 --> 00:19:39.720 a picture of health. And how are you, Mr. Tilson? 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.500 Never better, sir. Oh, I can believe that. Well, 00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:45.980 I really have to be back on rounds. Thank you 00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:47.980 for meeting Aunt Janie at the station. It should 00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:51.089 have been me. Without the car? Oh, you'd have 00:19:51.089 --> 00:19:54.049 had hard shrift getting me aboard all best since 00:19:54.049 --> 00:19:56.369 the carriage broke its wheel. You know, Jeannie, 00:19:56.450 --> 00:19:59.150 you should put that old horse out to pasture 00:19:59.150 --> 00:20:01.829 now she's nothing left to pull. Oh, I couldn't 00:20:01.829 --> 00:20:04.329 do that. We're too used to each other, poor old 00:20:04.329 --> 00:20:08.470 soul. All right, Dr Ferguson, away you go. Right 00:20:08.470 --> 00:20:11.589 you are. See you soon. I'll take your bags up 00:20:11.589 --> 00:20:14.369 to the house, aren't you? Oh, give me a hug first. 00:20:15.730 --> 00:20:19.160 That's right. Now. Off you go, and me and Mary 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.440 Ellen will have a week's chat on the way up to 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:28.240 the house. Goodbye, Percy. I should never have 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.160 said that. He hates the name. I'm not sure I 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.539 blame him. Oh, well, that's not what's on my 00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:40.240 mind. How are you, dearie? You can see for yourself. 00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:44.339 Oh, don't say anything to Mike yet, but I just 00:20:44.339 --> 00:20:49.259 have to tell someone. Aunt Jeannie, I think... 00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:59.160 I know I'm pregnant. Well, Mrs. Stilson... Tell 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.200 me, am I pregnant? Oh, the test will prove it, 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.279 but I'll bet on it. And let me say that you're 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.400 the loveliest expected mother I've ever had under 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:17.490 my care. A little morning sickness is to be expected 00:21:17.490 --> 00:21:21.049 in these early months. Still... There's nothing 00:21:21.049 --> 00:21:23.730 wrong, Doctor. Ah, a young, healthy woman. What 00:21:23.730 --> 00:21:26.450 could be wrong? Still, we must take precautions. 00:21:26.609 --> 00:21:28.430 I'm writing out some medication for you that 00:21:28.430 --> 00:21:36.190 I want you to take each day. But what does Dr. 00:21:36.410 --> 00:21:39.750 Ferguson say is causing it? It's nothing, dear. 00:21:40.190 --> 00:21:44.430 Just some little hitch. Honey... We both had 00:21:44.430 --> 00:21:46.829 thorough physical checkups before we came to 00:21:46.829 --> 00:21:50.529 Scotland. The RH factor is ruled out. Why should 00:21:50.529 --> 00:21:53.009 you... Lots of women have morning sickness. It 00:21:53.009 --> 00:21:56.670 isn't only in the morning, Helen. I'll talk to 00:21:56.670 --> 00:22:00.930 Dr. Ferguson. Maybe we should change the medication. 00:22:06.569 --> 00:22:10.150 Mary Ellen, dear. I talked to Dr. Ferguson and 00:22:10.150 --> 00:22:14.220 he's completely puzzled. I'm not sure that I 00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:18.980 am, though. Is there anything you want to tell 00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:23.180 me? What can I tell you, Aunt Jeannie, that I 00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:27.720 haven't told him? Are you... are you in pain? 00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:33.400 I've talked to the doctor about that. It... it 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:41.759 isn't pain. It... I don't know. Ellen, are you... 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:48.519 are you... Dreaming again? Of what? Of the presents. 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:53.400 I don't want to talk anymore. I just want to 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:59.200 sleep. Only I don't want to. I don't want to 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:05.779 sleep at all. It's just that I'm so tired. So 00:23:05.779 --> 00:23:14.529 tired. You have to help me, Aunt Jeannie. How, 00:23:14.769 --> 00:23:17.730 Michael? Dr. Ferguson says that physically, Melon 00:23:17.730 --> 00:23:20.869 should be all right. The baby seems to be thriving. 00:23:21.309 --> 00:23:24.529 It's her mental state that... Do you know she 00:23:24.529 --> 00:23:27.630 won't go to sleep at night? She forces herself 00:23:27.630 --> 00:23:31.130 to stay awake? What is it she's afraid of dreaming 00:23:31.130 --> 00:23:35.230 about, Aunt Jeannie? It is that, isn't it? I 00:23:35.230 --> 00:23:37.849 can't tell you just what she's dreaming. I'm 00:23:37.849 --> 00:23:41.289 too far out of touch since I went away. But... 00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:45.980 I do know one thing. The only way to stop it 00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:50.480 is to get her away from here. As easy as that? 00:23:50.539 --> 00:23:53.859 Oh, not so easy, maybe. She's bound and determined 00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:56.519 on having you finish your book first. Ah, the 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:04.640 devil take the book. Melon comes first. You sure 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.099 you don't mind, Michael? I'm very sure. We're 00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:11.789 going home. To have your baby three thousand 00:24:11.789 --> 00:24:16.910 miles away. Oh Darling, I don't know what to 00:24:16.910 --> 00:24:22.750 say It It can't be too soon for me. Well, it's 00:24:22.750 --> 00:24:25.849 sooner than you think We're booked out of Glasgow 00:24:25.849 --> 00:24:29.329 tomorrow afternoon home for America. I don't 00:24:29.329 --> 00:24:32.750 know I should be feeling all sorts of things. 00:24:32.750 --> 00:24:36.930 I know but The only one I can really feel is 00:24:36.930 --> 00:24:44.970 relief Oh, such blessed relief. Oh, for the first 00:24:44.970 --> 00:24:49.430 time in as long as I can remember. Days, weeks. 00:24:50.430 --> 00:24:54.890 I just want to go to sleep. Good night, darling. 00:24:55.650 --> 00:25:02.609 Rest. Sweet dreams. You'll keep me safe. You 00:25:02.609 --> 00:25:07.230 won't let me come to any harm. For better or 00:25:07.230 --> 00:25:12.089 worse. in sickness and in health until death 00:25:12.089 --> 00:25:23.309 do us sleep poor baby rest I love you Michael 00:25:23.309 --> 00:25:55.470 I love you keep our baby safe don't let You're 00:25:55.470 --> 00:25:58.769 going to be all right, Ellen.

It's 00:26:16.470 --> 00:26:20.230 out of order again. Hello. Hello! Ladi, Ladi, 00:26:20.390 --> 00:26:22.829 it's no use. It won't be fixed before morning. 00:26:22.890 --> 00:26:24.849 I'll go to the neighbors. It's a party line. 00:26:25.049 --> 00:26:27.630 If one's out, they're all out. Oh, God! How far 00:26:27.630 --> 00:26:29.650 are the doctors? A good three miles. Who's got 00:26:29.650 --> 00:26:32.730 a car? Only Colonel Petrie. And he's a way up 00:26:32.730 --> 00:26:34.950 to Edinburgh for his regimental reunion. All 00:26:34.950 --> 00:26:37.049 right, then I'll go on foot. Aunt Jeannie, go 00:26:37.049 --> 00:26:39.190 up and help her. I'll make it as fast as I can. 00:26:39.349 --> 00:26:42.170 By the wheel, Michael. Can you ride a horse? 00:26:42.289 --> 00:26:45.089 Yes. Good. Then take old Bessie. There's a bridle 00:26:45.089 --> 00:26:46.910 and saddle by her in the barn. She'll get you 00:26:46.910 --> 00:26:48.970 there faster. Take care of her, Aunt Jeannie. 00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:51.559 Don't let anything happen to her! Right along 00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:54.400 the third road till you come to town. He's the 00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:57.799 third house in on the right. And take care of 00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:08.539 yourself! What's taking Michael so long? Oh, 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:13.279 just lie still. Don't bring back the pain. It's 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:16.660 funny. I thought it was going to tear me in two. 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.799 And then within ten minutes after Michael left 00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:24.079 the house it just stopped suddenly is it What's 00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:27.079 that? Oh, it's a car. That'll be the doctor. 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:37.359 I'll let him in Bide quiet now. Oh Come on in 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.720 doctor what took you so long I tried to phone 00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:41.480 you the moment I found out and I got here as 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:46.019 soon as oh Then you know Of course I know. Oh 00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:47.559 dear, things have been taken care of, Mary Ellen. 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:52.579 Now you get on up to her. Where's Michael? Oh 00:27:52.579 --> 00:27:58.180 Jeannie, Michael is dead. Dead? How? Here, let 00:27:58.180 --> 00:28:02.819 me close the door. Was Michael riding to try 00:28:02.819 --> 00:28:06.900 to fetch me? Of course. She thought she was losing 00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:12.009 the baby. What happened to him? Bess must have 00:28:12.009 --> 00:28:13.950 thrown him. Oh, she never threw a body in her 00:28:13.950 --> 00:28:15.710 life. She was as gentle as... Something must 00:28:15.710 --> 00:28:18.589 have frightened her, driven her frantic. Jeannie, 00:28:18.609 --> 00:28:21.109 this is a terrible thing to tell you, but... 00:28:21.109 --> 00:28:24.210 But I examined the boy and his body was covered 00:28:24.210 --> 00:28:28.650 with hoof marks. He was literally trampled to 00:28:28.650 --> 00:28:38.950 death. So Ellen has kept her baby and lost her 00:28:38.950 --> 00:28:43.390 husband. Some evil force shadows this innocent 00:28:43.390 --> 00:28:47.069 and tragic girl, and still may threaten her. 00:28:47.970 --> 00:28:52.609 Those hoof marks, were they from the horse? Or 00:28:52.609 --> 00:28:56.910 in some dark, unfathomable way, were they supernatural, 00:28:57.930 --> 00:29:01.490 a demon's footprints? Perhaps we'll know when 00:29:01.490 --> 00:29:17.579 I return with Act 3. For two weeks Ellen after 00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:20.359 her first wild emotion when she heard of Mike's 00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:24.680 death has retreated into herself Her face white 00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:28.859 and drawn her eyes black and empty like two holes 00:29:28.859 --> 00:29:33.220 burned in a blanket Now as the doctor comes down 00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:36.920 after examining her always she today doctor no 00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:42.859 change listless unreachable hopeless The baby 00:29:42.859 --> 00:29:47.549 the baby Yeah, there's no doubts of its vitality. 00:29:47.549 --> 00:29:50.829 Oh, I have a terrible time getting her to eat 00:29:50.829 --> 00:29:52.690 anything. Well, you must be more successful than 00:29:52.690 --> 00:29:54.529 you think, Jeannie. There's nothing the matter 00:29:54.529 --> 00:29:58.089 with Mary Ellen physically. No, it's her mental 00:29:58.089 --> 00:30:00.809 health that concerns me. The poor Baron has been 00:30:00.809 --> 00:30:03.230 through a terrible shock, Percy. Yeah, I know. 00:30:04.289 --> 00:30:07.809 You don't think there is any chance of her losing 00:30:07.809 --> 00:30:11.269 her mind? Jeannie, Mary Ellen is beyond me and 00:30:11.269 --> 00:30:14.480 my knowledge. Somehow we've got to call in a 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.839 psychiatrist. Oh, Percy. What is it you're afraid 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.259 of for Mary Ellen? Well, you don't like my medical 00:30:21.259 --> 00:30:26.480 term. I want to know. Very well, then. Schizophrenia. 00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:29.619 More specifically, dementia precox. Paranoid 00:30:29.619 --> 00:30:31.819 type, I guess. Oh, well, what does all that mean? 00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:34.980 Withdrawal from life, delusions of all kinds, 00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:37.819 persecution, unseen enemies, that sort of thing. 00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:44.670 The second sight. Just... just like all of us. 00:30:44.710 --> 00:30:47.430 Now that's enough of that nonsense. You're all 00:30:47.430 --> 00:30:49.950 sensitive, delicately balanced women, but all 00:30:49.950 --> 00:30:54.029 things being equal, perfectly normal. Well, I 00:30:54.029 --> 00:30:56.670 have other calls to make. Oh, well, I'll walk 00:30:56.670 --> 00:31:01.950 you to the door. Any instructions for Mary Ellen? 00:31:02.069 --> 00:31:04.569 No, just that she keep on with the sedation I've 00:31:04.569 --> 00:31:08.329 provided. And Jeannie, try to persuade her to 00:31:08.329 --> 00:31:12.230 let me call in another doctor. I'll... I'll see 00:31:12.230 --> 00:31:18.230 what's best to do. Be very careful. I'll do what's 00:31:18.230 --> 00:31:21.450 right. I think maybe tonight I'll take a run 00:31:21.450 --> 00:31:24.289 up to Glasgow and have a consultation with a 00:31:24.289 --> 00:31:27.369 friend of mine there, Dr. Engel, good man. Maybe 00:31:27.369 --> 00:31:29.789 I could persuade him to run back down here with 00:31:29.789 --> 00:31:32.970 me just to observe him. By the way, till I see 00:31:32.970 --> 00:31:36.990 what I can do first, eh? All right. Another day 00:31:36.990 --> 00:31:50.680 or so can't do any harm. I hope. Who is it? It's 00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:54.559 Aunt Jeannie, Mary Ellen. May I come in? If you 00:31:54.559 --> 00:32:00.140 want. I thought you might like a wee cup of tea. 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:04.440 No, thanks. What are you staring at? Out the 00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:10.779 window? The soul way. The tide just came in. 00:32:11.809 --> 00:32:17.609 roaring and boiling so fast and now the water 00:32:17.609 --> 00:32:23.170 is all smooth and with the Sun on it everything's 00:32:23.170 --> 00:32:29.049 wiped clean I wonder if it heals as it washes 00:32:29.049 --> 00:32:34.210 over what are you thinking about child I'm thinking 00:32:34.210 --> 00:32:39.009 about the first time I showed the tide to Michael 00:32:40.140 --> 00:32:44.240 The day we were married. The day you said it 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.539 was bad luck for us to see each other before 00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:50.259 the wedding. I was just joking about superstitions. 00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:53.920 Nobody believes those old wives' tales. Nobody 00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:56.299 believes so many things that are outside the 00:32:56.299 --> 00:33:00.400 ordinary. So many things they say don't exist 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.140 but might be. Did you see Michael's body after? 00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:10.089 What? Did you see the marks of the hooves don't 00:33:10.089 --> 00:33:12.829 talk about that loss? I know they said the horse 00:33:12.829 --> 00:33:16.269 trampled him. I Asked dr. Ferguson about the 00:33:16.269 --> 00:33:19.650 hooves and he wouldn't tell me You'd tell me 00:33:19.650 --> 00:33:23.869 wouldn't you Jeannie? Tell you what were they 00:33:23.869 --> 00:33:31.710 like horseshoes Or were they cleft in two Were 00:33:31.710 --> 00:33:34.630 they cloven hooves in the name of God? What are 00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:38.240 you seeing? I'm not speaking of God I'm speaking 00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:42.920 of the devil, or some demon that haunts my dreams. 00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.660 Now this is no time for foolish fancies. You 00:33:45.660 --> 00:33:47.519 mustn't let dreams spill over into your real 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:51.079 life. Or is it the other way around? Mary Ellen, 00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:53.740 I don't know what it is you have on your mind, 00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:56.440 but... You can get me to Michael. Let me talk 00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.640 to Michael. He'll know. He can tell me what to 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:03.579 do. Take me to Michael and Jeannie. Take me to 00:34:03.579 --> 00:34:08.510 him. Oh, can I, Mary Ellen? You know he's... 00:34:08.510 --> 00:34:12.590 I know he's dead. I know he's passed beyond. 00:34:12.829 --> 00:34:16.809 But you can reach him. You can hold a seance 00:34:16.809 --> 00:34:19.789 and... Oh, no. I swore I never would again after... 00:34:19.789 --> 00:34:21.489 After what happened that night when something 00:34:21.489 --> 00:34:26.969 got loose? Some evil presence? Some thing from... 00:34:26.969 --> 00:34:32.030 Auntie, you let him loose. The least you can 00:34:32.030 --> 00:34:36.300 do. is help me undo the harm. I can't. I won't. 00:34:36.659 --> 00:34:38.480 I'll get the doctor. You dare to bring him here 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.840 and I'll kill myself. I swear. Child, you're 00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:48.380 out of your... No. Not yet. But if you don't 00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:51.659 have that seance and let me find out from Michael 00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:57.679 what to do, I will be. I'll lose my mind. You've 00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.900 got to promise. Promise. Oh, calm down, child. 00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:04.980 Calm down. Tonight! Now! That isn't possible! 00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:08.239 There... There have to be more than two to form 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:10.019 a circle! Then call in the Colonel and that other 00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:13.980 woman, anyone! Just promise me! Promise! I need 00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:18.440 him! I need Michael! Promise, Angini! Promise! 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:33.139 May God forgive me! I... I... I promise! May 00:35:33.139 --> 00:35:42.119 we all join hands, please Clear your minds make 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:50.739 them a blank a quiet place open and hushed I'm 00:35:50.739 --> 00:35:57.539 reaching now reaching away and above and out 00:35:57.539 --> 00:36:02.179 and over from here to the Bonnie, Bonnie, other 00:36:02.179 --> 00:36:10.900 place that lies beyond our ken. Can you hear 00:36:10.900 --> 00:36:19.300 me, Anatu? Can you come to me, into our circle? 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:29.519 Anatu, we're reaching for you. Oh, I can't make 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.960 contact. Ask for Michael. I have no way to him. 00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:41.340 Then let me. Try it. Everyone concentrate. Be 00:36:41.340 --> 00:36:48.940 still. Be still. Michael. Michael, I need you. 00:36:50.340 --> 00:37:05.619 Come to me. Oh, Michael, I love you. I love you. 00:37:06.659 --> 00:37:14.340 We'll be together again. Michael! It's not our 00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:21.960 child you're carrying. Get rid of him! Michael! 00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.780 It's no use, child. There's no contact tonight. 00:37:29.050 --> 00:37:32.289 We can break the ring. Will someone turn on the 00:37:32.289 --> 00:37:38.690 light, please? I'm that sorry, Mary Ellen. It's 00:37:38.690 --> 00:37:41.849 all right, Aunt Jeannie. You gave me what I wanted. 00:37:42.809 --> 00:37:56.110 I found out what I needed to know. Oh, I'm afraid 00:37:56.110 --> 00:37:59.159 that's quite impossible, my dear. You're not 00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:02.360 as backward as that dr. Ferguson Abortion is 00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:04.840 perfectly legal, isn't it? Oh, I'm not concerned 00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:08.139 with the legality Mary Ellen as it happens it 00:38:08.139 --> 00:38:12.599 is but then help me I Can't be here. It's too 00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:17.420 late What do you mean too late? When you came 00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:19.820 to me a few weeks ago, and we determined your 00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:23.019 pregnancy You must have known that I would know 00:38:23.019 --> 00:38:27.679 it was already well advanced, but it wasn't Michael 00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:30.000 and I were only married a month before that. 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:33.239 You should know that. Of course I know that, 00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:38.179 my dear, but... facts are facts. You're carrying 00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:41.579 a child that's past midterm. And abortion now 00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:47.239 is just too dangerous. Past midterm. Four and 00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:51.619 a half months. My guess is at least five. That 00:38:51.619 --> 00:38:56.650 fast? Oh, God, no. It mightn't wait. He could 00:38:56.650 --> 00:39:00.389 be born any minute. There's no one to help me 00:39:00.389 --> 00:39:03.429 but myself. Well, I'll drive you home, child. 00:39:04.190 --> 00:39:06.829 And I'll give you something to get a little rest. 00:39:14.869 --> 00:39:18.889 She's sound asleep now, Jeannie. Let's go downstairs 00:39:18.889 --> 00:39:24.670 and talk. Poor wee angel. So thin and pale and 00:39:24.670 --> 00:39:37.969 haunted. Come away, let her rest. No. No. What 00:39:37.969 --> 00:39:46.429 you gave, you'll never take away. Never. It's 00:39:46.429 --> 00:39:58.389 never going to be. Yes, that's the way. Full 00:39:58.389 --> 00:40:02.809 moon. The time was right. And for our own protection, 00:40:03.010 --> 00:40:05.389 I see no other way, Jeannie. But to lock her 00:40:05.389 --> 00:40:08.210 away... Well, we're not locking her up. It's 00:40:08.210 --> 00:40:11.449 a sanitarium. It's a really lovely place. I don't 00:40:11.449 --> 00:40:14.610 think I could do it to her. I'll care for her. 00:40:14.610 --> 00:40:17.530 Jeannie, dear, if Ellen had preeclampsia or a 00:40:17.530 --> 00:40:19.869 threatened miscarriage or any one of a number 00:40:19.869 --> 00:40:22.449 of other diseases of pregnancy, she would have 00:40:22.449 --> 00:40:25.030 to be hospitalized. Now, think of it that way. 00:40:25.269 --> 00:40:28.050 All right, Percy, if you think it's best. It's 00:40:28.050 --> 00:40:32.570 the only way. Oh, no, Doctor. Mine is the only 00:40:32.570 --> 00:40:37.869 way. That sounded like the front door. Ellen, 00:40:38.409 --> 00:40:40.769 go on. I'll check upstairs. You look outside. 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:47.139 I thought you said she... Oh, dear Lord. I've 00:40:47.139 --> 00:40:51.199 got the premonition. Mary Ellen? Mary Ellen! 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.039 Are you out there? Jeannie! Jeannie! It's Mary! 00:40:55.340 --> 00:40:57.900 She's gone! I gave her enough sedation to knock 00:40:57.900 --> 00:41:00.280 her out, but she's gone! But where? Where? She's 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:57.409 out on the first... There wasn't a chance. We 00:41:57.409 --> 00:42:03.170 couldn't have saved her. My poor wee motherless 00:42:03.170 --> 00:42:08.869 lamb. It didn't take long to follow her poor 00:42:08.869 --> 00:42:14.210 husband. But what's a child? It hadn't been born 00:42:14.210 --> 00:42:18.369 and she didn't want it. It wasn't Michael's, 00:42:18.369 --> 00:42:23.559 you know. Are you sure of that? Yes, it was five 00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:29.179 months old, at least from the size. A monster! 00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:33.579 No, I didn't say that. Still, I was thinking 00:42:33.579 --> 00:42:37.039 of X -rays. There was something strange about 00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:41.559 that embryo. I can't quite explain. It was nothing 00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:47.500 you could have understood, Doctor. So, at the 00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:54.449 last, it was all... The Lord's will, and maybe 00:42:54.449 --> 00:43:02.469 for the best, at least Michael and my Mary Ellen 00:43:02.469 --> 00:43:21.409 are in God's pocket at last. in another world. 00:43:22.389 --> 00:43:26.929 Our story has come full circle. For us, it is 00:43:26.929 --> 00:43:30.949 the end. Let's hope the genie is right. And for 00:43:30.949 --> 00:43:47.030 Ellen and Michael, it is only a beginning. One 00:43:47.030 --> 00:43:51.260 final thought. If you believe some dreadful incubus 00:43:51.260 --> 00:43:54.340 possessed poor Ellen, driving her and her husband 00:43:54.340 --> 00:43:57.679 to their deaths, there is another explanation. 00:43:58.900 --> 00:44:02.420 Insanity did run in her family. So either way, 00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:06.659 even if there was a devil to pay, it still was 00:44:06.659 --> 00:44:10.639 all in the mind. Our cast included Jada Rowland, 00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:14.780 Nick Pryor, Bryna Rayburn, and Ian Martin. The 00:44:14.780 --> 00:44:16.659 entire production was under the direction of 00:44:16.659 --> 00:44:20.730 Hyman Brown. This is E .G. Marshall inviting 00:44:20.730 --> 00:44:24.090 you to return to our mystery theater for another 00:44:24.090 --> 00:44:29.210 adventure in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant 00:44:29.210 --> 00:44:29.929 dreams.
