WEBVTT 00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:25.050 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:29.690 to the fear you can hear. Welcome to the sounds 00:00:29.690 --> 00:00:34.009 of suspense. Have you ever noticed the similarity 00:00:34.009 --> 00:00:37.390 between night driving and making your way through 00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:41.329 life? Driving at night you can only see as far 00:00:41.329 --> 00:00:44.289 as your headlights show you the road. You never 00:00:44.289 --> 00:00:47.219 know what's over the next hill. or around the 00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:51.140 next curve. And even on a straight road, your 00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:55.240 vision only extends as far as your lights. Life 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.619 is very much the same. None of us really knows 00:00:59.619 --> 00:01:03.119 what lies ahead. You look exactly like my husband, 00:01:03.579 --> 00:01:06.480 a dead ringer. Here, here, take a look at this 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.859 picture. Hey, that's scary. I didn't know two 00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:14.859 guys could look this much alike. How would you 00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:18.780 like to be my husband? No way. I like being who 00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:21.680 I am, Al Grissom. But don't you see how easy 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.959 it would be to take his place? Yeah, you bet. 00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:27.760 But it's easier to stay away from murder. Who 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.219 said anything about murder? You did, my lovely. 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:42.920 And my answer is no way. Power Mystery Drama. 00:01:43.129 --> 00:01:46.349 Dead Ringer was written especially for the Mystery 00:01:46.349 --> 00:01:50.510 Theater by Murray Burnett and stars Leon Janney. 00:01:51.049 --> 00:02:05.010 I'll be back shortly with Act One. You're on 00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:08.990 a flak -top country road about 18 miles east 00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:13.330 of the little town of Eudalia. It's raining hard. 00:02:13.909 --> 00:02:17.889 You're driving a Citroen Maserati, and it handles. 00:02:18.789 --> 00:02:21.870 But you have your problems. You're going to be 00:02:21.870 --> 00:02:24.590 late for dinner, and you have a husband who doesn't 00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:28.409 appreciate lateness. The night seems to be getting 00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:32.090 blacker, and the rain shows no sign of easing. 00:02:32.310 --> 00:02:36.750 Darn this rain. While I'm at it, I'm a weatherman 00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:39.490 who promised clear and cool weather. Your name 00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:43.110 is Gloria Winters. And then the headlights pick 00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:48.990 up something in the road. Whatever it is, it's 00:02:48.990 --> 00:02:53.330 a problem because it doesn't seem to move. Come 00:02:53.330 --> 00:02:59.729 on, stupid, move. Get out of my way. It's a man! 00:03:04.669 --> 00:03:08.169 What happened? A car hit me and drove off. Thanks 00:03:08.169 --> 00:03:10.860 for stopping. That's okay. A lot of people couldn't 00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:12.879 do you think you can make it to my car? Yeah 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.460 with a little help. Okay. There we go. That's 00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:20.460 steady now. Yeah, I guess it better. Just here. 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.919 Just slip into the seat. Yeah. I'll close the 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.080 door and come around the other side. Watch yourself. 00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:37.259 There's some crazy guys driving this road. You're 00:03:37.259 --> 00:03:40.129 soaked. I knew I'd hurt. I'll take you to the 00:03:40.129 --> 00:03:42.830 Hermitage. What's that? Hospital. Oh, no. No 00:03:42.830 --> 00:03:45.550 hospital. You're bleeding. Now, look. Looks worse 00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:48.530 than it is. It's your playing hell with your 00:03:48.530 --> 00:03:51.710 car, huh? You must go to a hospital. No, no. 00:03:51.710 --> 00:03:54.909 No way. But why? Because hospitals are for dying. 00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:57.210 Oh, that's crazy. Well, that's what everyone 00:03:57.210 --> 00:03:59.550 tells me. Hey, I don't care what... Look, I can't 00:03:59.550 --> 00:04:01.530 ever thank you enough for picking me up, but 00:04:01.530 --> 00:04:04.270 I have this thing about hospitals. But you're 00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:06.770 breathing. I promise you, I'm not gonna die. 00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:15.439 Okay, but... where to? The Three Coyotes Motel. 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:26.180 It's just out there. I know where it is. And 00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:28.019 Alda, come on, just put your hand on the pillow 00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:32.160 and don't be a baby. You're some dynamite kind 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.420 of good Samaritan. I have a right to see what 00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:36.439 you look like under all that dirt and blood, 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.660 haven't I? No argument. This may hurt. Oh. Oh, 00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:45.860 hey. Now you're beginning to look like you have 00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:53.019 it perfectly. It's that bad, huh? Oh, no, no. 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.399 It's nothing. I just thought of something. Like 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.740 what? You look exactly like my husband. But I 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:05.579 mean exactly. You could be identical to him. 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.600 You don't believe me? Yeah, I believe you. That's 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.199 why I got such a shock when I cleaned you up 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.420 and got a good look at your face in the light. 00:05:17.620 --> 00:05:21.540 You're a dead ringer for Leo. Why does that shake 00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:27.379 you up? Leo and I are having problems. Isn't 00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:33.560 everybody? I suppose. I'm just wondering... Yeah. 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.660 I'm wondering what you were doing walking down 00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:43.959 Route 38 in the rain at 615. I, uh, missed the 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:50.740 bus. There is no bus on Route 38. Oh, I didn't 00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:55.500 know that. I did. Okay, I suppose you've got 00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:59.180 a right to know the story. I live in Chicago. 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:02.939 I'm a market analyst. Come again? I advise my 00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:05.550 customers about... what to do or what not to 00:06:05.550 --> 00:06:09.129 do in the stock market, sort of a security specialist. 00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:16.129 Are you, uh, married? Oh, no. But that's, uh, 00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:19.930 part of the story. Years ago, I fell in love. 00:06:21.069 --> 00:06:23.370 She... She was from Chicago, too, but it didn't 00:06:23.370 --> 00:06:26.990 work out. You've heard the story a hundred million 00:06:26.990 --> 00:06:30.410 times. You've net met someone. We said a sentimental 00:06:30.410 --> 00:06:32.910 goodbye, she cried, I felt sick, and we made 00:06:32.910 --> 00:06:35.689 the usual commitments if she ever needs me, you 00:06:35.689 --> 00:06:40.310 know. Romantic? Mm -hmm, romantic. Well, the 00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:42.870 day before yesterday, I got a call from her. 00:06:43.410 --> 00:06:46.610 She was living near Eudalia. She was in trouble. 00:06:47.110 --> 00:06:50.550 What kind of trouble? Well, it was private. And 00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:53.810 there'll be no names. Okay, okay. So I came. 00:06:54.009 --> 00:06:55.850 Naturally, she didn't want her husband to know. 00:06:55.889 --> 00:06:58.230 She didn't want my car to be seen by the neighbors. 00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:01.959 Well, you know how small towns are yes, I know 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.480 so I let her call the shots She picked me up 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.779 broke me somewhere close to her house She was 00:07:08.779 --> 00:07:10.620 supposed to drive me back, but a husband had 00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:13.100 called and said he was coming home early Well, 00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:14.959 where was he supposed to be? There's not a business 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.680 call. It would have kept him from getting home 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.160 before nine So our appointment was cut short 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.819 She panicked and I walked trying to thumb a ride 00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:32.050 this widow came along and How and you found me 00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:38.029 What a difference what a difference You look 00:07:38.029 --> 00:07:42.550 like Leo, but you were completely different Leo 00:07:42.550 --> 00:07:45.230 wouldn't cross the street to help a blind crippled 00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:48.889 kid find his crutch While you and you stopped 00:07:48.889 --> 00:07:52.449 and picked up a stranger lying in the road Well, 00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:54.610 I told you that Leo and I don't get along but 00:07:54.610 --> 00:07:57.290 you married him. I Didn't know what it would 00:07:57.290 --> 00:08:01.579 be like Now, anyway, what are you going to do 00:08:01.579 --> 00:08:04.660 now? Oh, I'm going to change motels and lie low 00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:07.199 until I can go back to Chicago without having 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.040 to explain the way I look. What about the girl 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.939 you came to help? Oh, that was a bad scene. Well, 00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:16.480 nothing I can really do for her. She has a decision 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:23.699 to make. So have I. Um, will you help me to make 00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:31.709 it? If I can. Oh, you can now. You can. In a 00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:41.509 very big way. I don't like it, Gloria. I don't 00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:44.710 like it at all. You have been saying that for 00:08:44.710 --> 00:08:46.990 a whole week, Leo. When's he going back to Chicago? 00:08:47.429 --> 00:08:50.269 When the scar's healed and nobody will ask questions. 00:08:50.509 --> 00:08:52.470 How about the name of the girl he came to help? 00:08:52.590 --> 00:08:57.210 He won't tell me. I don't like it. Oh, Leo, trust 00:08:57.210 --> 00:09:01.440 me. Why? Because I'm a woman if you could give 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.399 me one good reason I've given you a million reasons 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.179 one million dollars That was the man who can 00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:12.779 do it for us. You really believe he's leveling 00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:15.559 about the securities market in his background 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.299 Maybe he's carning you why take a look in the 00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:24.240 mirror All right, all right suppose he is playing 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.659 me for a sucker Then we're... We're still all 00:09:27.659 --> 00:09:32.019 right. Maybe even better. Just trust me. Do I 00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:34.919 have a choice? You always have a choice. Don't 00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:39.220 ever forget that. You made one. The day you married 00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:56.110 me. I do love you, Hal. Me too. No, no, we have 00:09:56.110 --> 00:09:58.590 some serious things. Come here. Come on, now 00:09:58.590 --> 00:10:02.269 be serious. We can't go on like this. What? Isn't 00:10:02.269 --> 00:10:03.870 that what you were going to be so serious about, 00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:08.950 telling me that we can't go on like this? Well, 00:10:08.950 --> 00:10:12.710 I guess. How did you know? Well, because people 00:10:12.710 --> 00:10:15.769 are more predictable than the stock market. And 00:10:15.769 --> 00:10:18.129 darling, I've studied the market and I know its 00:10:18.129 --> 00:10:23.799 moves. Okay. Then continue. With what? What else 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.659 I had to say oh It was gonna go something like 00:10:27.659 --> 00:10:31.159 this. I told you I was fed up with Leo and until 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.580 you came along I just didn't see any way out 00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:37.519 but now You're doing super go on but now if we 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.799 love each other I can divorce Leo and we'll get 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.480 married and live happily ever after right Not 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:51.539 exactly when I go wrong I'm a divorce You don't 00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:55.759 want a divorce Leo I know Leo. He'd never give 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.980 me a divorce. Does that matter? A woman wants 00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:02.340 a little security. Hey, with your looks, you 00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:05.240 don't have to worry about that. Looks don't last 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.000 forever. Well, nothing does. Some things do. 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:17.059 Okay, name one. Death? You know, I never met 00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:20.639 anyone like you. Not even that girl? You came 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.129 out here to help? Uh -uh, not even her. And you 00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:27.809 have no parents, no relatives. Nobody except 00:11:27.809 --> 00:11:33.629 yourself. Just me and my shadow. We've talked 00:11:33.629 --> 00:11:36.769 a lot about Leo. You've never seen him. And I 00:11:36.769 --> 00:11:40.570 don't want to. I'd like you to look at this picture 00:11:40.570 --> 00:11:48.110 of him. That's scary. I didn't know two guys 00:11:48.110 --> 00:11:52.879 could look this much alike. I told you. You thought 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.080 I was laying it on for your benefit. I guess. 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.399 And now? I believe you couldn't tell us apart. 00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:05.480 I guess this was in the back of my mind ever 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.960 since I first saw your face. What was? How would 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:16.059 you like to be Mr. Leo Winters? Oh, no way. I 00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:19.840 like being Al Grissom. Then you can't be married 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.370 to... Mrs. Gloria Winters. I thought we were 00:12:23.370 --> 00:12:26.190 talking about divorce. You have to believe me 00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:29.690 that Leo won't give me a divorce. Now, go back 00:12:29.690 --> 00:12:31.690 again to me being Leo Winters. That was where 00:12:31.690 --> 00:12:33.330 you lost me. Well, you've seen this picture. 00:12:34.549 --> 00:12:37.450 Don't you see how easy it would be to take his 00:12:37.450 --> 00:12:41.210 place? Fine, fine, but what happens to him? Well, 00:12:41.210 --> 00:12:43.070 that's the problem, isn't it? Yeah, that's the 00:12:43.070 --> 00:12:46.590 problem. I thought maybe you could think of a 00:12:46.590 --> 00:12:52.279 way out. but I don't like it. Try it on me. No, 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.720 I think you've already tried it on and you like 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.539 it. Maybe. Not maybe, positively. That's what 00:12:58.539 --> 00:13:00.299 you wanted to lay on me when you said you wanted 00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:05.820 to talk. You're not only sexy, but you're smart. 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.559 Yeah, you bet. Smart enough to stay away from 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.879 murder. Well, who said anything about murder? 00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:14.519 I did, my lovely, I did. I said murder. And I 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.519 also said no way. But that's stupid. You don't 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.980 even know Leo. You're really serious about trying 00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:24.220 to get rid of him. Oh, think of what it would 00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:29.039 be like. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Winters, you and me, 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.720 happily married for the rest of our lives. Are 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.080 you? Jolted about three tracks and a couple of 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.620 miles here too far down the road. Why? How did 00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:42.779 you get Leo to let you come and see me? Did you 00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:45.000 tell him we were playing backgammon or chess? 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.559 Oh, I told you about Leo. Well, tell me more. 00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:52.360 Well, you know how greedy he is. He thinks that 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.080 you're going to make him a lot of money with 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.220 your connections in the Chicago markets He doesn't 00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:59.779 know he's drooling about okay, but we've still 00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:03.659 got a little problem to solve about his Departure 00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:09.759 ah and you're interested lady If I hadn't been 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.740 interested either you or I would have been long 00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:15.899 gone from this room You must have been thinking 00:14:15.899 --> 00:14:19.129 about this for some time I have. And you must 00:14:19.129 --> 00:14:22.429 have come up with some ideas. I have. Well, I'd 00:14:22.429 --> 00:14:25.110 like to hear them before I commit myself. You 00:14:25.110 --> 00:14:29.429 will. But I promised Leo I'd be back at 3 .30 00:14:29.429 --> 00:14:31.909 sharp. That doesn't give us enough time to discuss 00:14:31.909 --> 00:14:36.370 it now. No, but it does give us enough time to... 00:14:36.370 --> 00:14:48.909 Seal the bargain? to discuss the idea of murdering 00:14:48.909 --> 00:14:52.450 someone. You've taken the first step along a 00:14:52.450 --> 00:14:56.730 road that is full of hairpin turns, some of which 00:14:56.730 --> 00:15:00.350 don't even have warning signs. We'll be back 00:15:00.350 --> 00:15:15.429 shortly. We're back too. It's me again. And we're 00:15:15.429 --> 00:15:19.429 talking about murder. That is, we're not talking 00:15:19.429 --> 00:15:22.929 about it. But Gloria Winters and Al Grissom are 00:15:22.929 --> 00:15:26.590 trying to arrange a murder. It isn't a simple 00:15:26.590 --> 00:15:29.889 task, as you will hear. No. No, hiring a killer 00:15:29.889 --> 00:15:31.669 is just setting yourself up for big trouble. 00:15:32.190 --> 00:15:35.149 Do you have any better ideas? No, not yet. Well, 00:15:35.149 --> 00:15:37.070 you'd better come up with one, because Rio's 00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:41.200 getting suspicious. You don't have a gun. I've 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.460 been through that. Well, you could buy one. And 00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:45.740 it can be traced. Not if we get rid of it afterwards. 00:15:46.019 --> 00:15:49.059 Gloria, I know the way the police operate. When 00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:50.860 her husband gets knocked off, the first one they 00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:53.779 check out is his wife. And statistics show they 00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:55.519 have a better than even chance of being right. 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.940 But I'm going to say it was a prowler. What makes 00:15:57.940 --> 00:16:05.580 you think they'll believe you? Hey. I've got 00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:08.019 it. I've got it. Why didn't I think of this before? 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.340 The same thing that happened to you before, only 00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:13.759 this time, it'll be fatal. Hit and run? Of course. 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:16.940 You know, the more we talk, the more I'm beginning 00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:18.659 to think we ought to forget about the whole thing. 00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:24.100 No. All right. What car are we going to use? 00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:27.480 Well, we'll, um, we'll rent one under, under 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.299 a false name. Mm -hmm. And who's going to rent 00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:32.259 it? Well, you see the guy who rents either one 00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:34.659 of us a car will remember us and even if we give 00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:37.700 a false name Why should they be worried if if 00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:39.460 they get the car back because the hit -and -run 00:16:39.460 --> 00:16:41.480 will be discovered. They'll start asking questions 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.600 Well, I'll be home with a friend as a witness. 00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:46.659 No, no, no hit -and -run is a crime I'll go looking 00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:48.460 for the driver of the car and that has to be 00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:52.639 me no, I don't like anything we've come up with 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:58.720 and We've got to stop thinking about murder cops 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.379 are going to be looking for somebody and continue 00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:03.799 to think of more than an accident. Hit and run 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:08.220 isn't natural. Nobody's going to dig much into 00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:10.480 what looks like a natural death. If we could 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.859 get a doctor to sign a death certificate, we'd 00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:18.619 have it made. I know a doctor. Well, it can't 00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:20.880 be in on it. He's got to think it's death from 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.880 some kind of natural cause. I said I know a doctor. 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.700 Who? His name is Carmody, Hugh Carmody. He's 00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:30.640 about 85 years old. He's our family doctor. He 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.859 was my mother's doctor when I was born. Was he 00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:36.200 still practicing? Well, not really. But he refuses 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.440 to give up the families he's treated for years. 00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:42.019 So he still looks after me, and Leo sort of inherited 00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:46.960 him when we got married. Mm -hmm. No idea? I 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:50.799 don't know. Just a glimmer. Would this doctor 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.920 believe you? Oh, of course. Come on, let me in 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.220 on it. Okay. What do you know about poisons? 00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:00.859 Practically nothing. Yeah, well that makes us 00:18:00.859 --> 00:18:03.640 even. Now what we need is some kind of poison 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.279 that looks like, like he died of a stroke or 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.500 a heart attack or maybe some kind of food poisoning. 00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:14.460 Mushrooms. What? Toadstools, mushrooms. They're 00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:16.000 poisonous. Yeah, but he's not going to eat them. 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.880 He will if I cook them. You know, that might... 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.240 No, no, no, no. He'll get suspicious if you give 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.210 them to him and you don't eat them. We need to 00:18:26.210 --> 00:18:29.289 know more about poison mushrooms. The library, 00:18:29.690 --> 00:18:33.190 I'll go there. You go asking for a book about 00:18:33.190 --> 00:18:35.650 mushrooms and then call in this doctor to look 00:18:35.650 --> 00:18:38.130 at Leo as just eating some bad mushrooms. All 00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:41.349 right, all right. I understand. But I still got 00:18:41.349 --> 00:18:44.309 to... I'll see you later. Where are you going? 00:18:44.470 --> 00:18:47.650 To find out what I want. And nobody will ever 00:18:47.650 --> 00:19:02.650 know. How have you been? To see Dr. Carmody. 00:19:02.849 --> 00:19:05.490 Of all that dumb place? Relax, darling, and give 00:19:05.490 --> 00:19:11.849 me a kiss. I think I really have something. What 00:19:11.849 --> 00:19:18.009 did you do? Toadstool. A fleshy fungus that is 00:19:18.009 --> 00:19:21.849 poisonous or inedible as distinguished from an 00:19:21.849 --> 00:19:24.269 edible mushroom. Oh, great, great. We knew that 00:19:24.269 --> 00:19:27.450 before you left. But we didn't know that aconite, 00:19:27.549 --> 00:19:31.380 which was... Formally, much used as a cardiac 00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:34.940 and respiratory sedative is the poison that comes 00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:39.359 from toadstool, or monk's hood, and can be deadly. 00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:43.519 You didn't ask. Of course not. I know that Dr. 00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:45.759 Carmody always visits his few patients between 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:47.839 three and four, so I went to his office and told 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:50.420 the nurse I wasn't feeling well. She knows me 00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:54.259 and let me into wait in his office. And he has 00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:58.000 a lot of books. So I read. Yeah, what did you 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.339 tell Carmody when he came back? Oh, he's such 00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:03.180 an old love I made up a story about being tired 00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:05.740 and not feeling well and he gave me atomic which 00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:08.160 I'm going to get You know, maybe we're getting 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.740 somewhere. We're there darling. We are there. 00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:17.579 Slow up Well first Where can we get the aconite? 00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:21.960 Yeah, that's it Suppose I told you we don't have 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.890 to get it. Well, I'd like to hear why Okay. My 00:20:26.890 --> 00:20:29.730 dad had a bad heart. Oh, how long ago was that? 00:20:29.750 --> 00:20:32.910 About seven years. And you're telling me that 00:20:32.910 --> 00:20:37.150 this Dr. Carmody prescribed aconite? Right. Well, 00:20:37.150 --> 00:20:39.089 how do you know the stuff's still good? I don't. 00:20:39.289 --> 00:20:41.289 Well, it does seem to be. Well, this is the only 00:20:41.289 --> 00:20:43.170 way we can handle it. If it doesn't work, we 00:20:43.170 --> 00:20:47.109 won't get into any trouble. And if it does, we 00:20:47.109 --> 00:20:50.170 will get into any trouble with her. So, what 00:20:50.170 --> 00:20:54.690 have we got to lose? I don't know where you put 00:20:54.690 --> 00:20:59.849 it that way. Do you know any other way? No. Then 00:20:59.849 --> 00:21:04.049 let's try it. Okay. Okay, let's work it out. 00:21:04.289 --> 00:21:07.329 Okay. Day after tomorrow, Thursday, that's Eileen's 00:21:07.329 --> 00:21:09.769 night out. Right. I'll buy the mushrooms tomorrow. 00:21:10.289 --> 00:21:12.990 And I'll cook a great steak dinner with all the 00:21:12.990 --> 00:21:17.130 trimmings. And Leo and I will eat it. And you 00:21:17.130 --> 00:21:20.529 too. Of course I'll have to. I won't eat too 00:21:20.529 --> 00:21:23.789 much though. But enough to make me a little sick. 00:21:23.849 --> 00:21:26.109 Yeah, then when Leo begins to feel sick. I'll 00:21:26.109 --> 00:21:28.789 suggest we call the doctor comedy of course comedy 00:21:28.789 --> 00:21:31.650 He'll come and ask about what we ate and I'll 00:21:31.650 --> 00:21:34.589 say steak and mushrooms and he'll say mushrooms 00:21:34.589 --> 00:21:39.450 and right away Diagnosed mushroom poisoning and 00:21:39.450 --> 00:21:41.210 give us something. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you so 00:21:41.210 --> 00:21:44.849 far and then and then after he leaves I'll tuck 00:21:44.849 --> 00:21:47.769 dear old Leo into bed Tell him I have to go to 00:21:47.769 --> 00:21:51.460 the drugstore to get something I'll go down and 00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:54.640 let you in. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:57.680 do you need me for? We're in this together, my 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:01.420 love. And I want you there. I damn well better 00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:05.619 disappear after Leo dies. That will be just fine. 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:09.920 And we'll set up a very, very romantic meeting 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:23.589 place. That's real good coffee, Gloria. Thank 00:22:23.589 --> 00:22:25.710 you, darling. You really should have made that 00:22:25.710 --> 00:22:28.289 pie. You kind of watched my figure. I know how 00:22:28.289 --> 00:22:30.549 much you love it. Do you want to go into the 00:22:30.549 --> 00:22:35.950 den? Not particularly. What? You feel all right. 00:22:36.650 --> 00:22:39.490 I feel fine. Are you sure those mushrooms are 00:22:39.490 --> 00:22:43.549 good? Of course. I don't know. I feel kind of 00:22:43.549 --> 00:22:47.789 funny. Even if they were, it's too soon for them 00:22:47.789 --> 00:22:50.500 to act up. How do you know? Oh, I've known about 00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:52.259 mushrooms since I was a kid. Well, all the same, 00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:55.299 I've got pains in my stomach. Call Dr. Carmody. 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.220 Do you really think it's the mushrooms, doctor? 00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:08.019 I know it's the mushrooms. It has to be. Both 00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:10.579 of you ate them and you tell me, Leo, that you 00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:13.839 ate more than Gloria. Yeah, that's right. That's 00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.059 what I get for being a pig. Well, you're going 00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:19.980 to be all right. Just stay in bed and, Gloria, 00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:21.799 you get this prescription for your... What about 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:26.319 the pain? I'm giving you a sedative also. What 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.160 I can't understand is how you cooked those mushrooms 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.180 in the first place, Gloria. Have I ever told 00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:35.359 you about those things when you were a child? 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.559 Well, I know, and I feel just awful. I can't 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:43.400 explain how it happened, but... I'm sorry, I 00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.839 have no excuse. Yeah, when we used crying over 00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:50.960 spilt milk. Yeah, I better get home to bed. You 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:52.980 get that prescription for the young lady. Oh, 00:23:52.980 --> 00:24:26.779 I will. Let me take you to your car. You know 00:24:26.779 --> 00:25:22.740 where the house is?

Oh, don't ask me, Al, darling. 00:26:07.240 --> 00:27:06.210 It's the first time for me, too. it for me. You 00:27:06.210 --> 00:27:09.009 know, you're a hell of a dame. You're right, 00:27:09.230 --> 00:27:13.829 Al. No, no, no, not dame. I was gonna say a hell 00:27:13.829 --> 00:27:19.170 of a liar. It wasn't all lies, Al. I'm expensive. 00:27:20.029 --> 00:27:22.190 And there is a million dollar life insurance 00:27:22.190 --> 00:27:25.910 policy. And when I saw your face, I realized 00:27:25.910 --> 00:27:28.809 that this was just too good an opportunity to 00:27:28.809 --> 00:28:04.380 miss. Just where you want it. In your bed. A 00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:08.319 murder has been accomplished. The happy couple, 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.559 Leo and Gloria Winters, still have a way to go 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:16.099 before they achieve their goal. But murder sometimes 00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:21.700 makes for strange and uneasy bedfellows. We'll 00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:43.180 return shortly with Act 3. of mice and men of 00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:48.279 Gangagli doesn't seem to apply here. Leo and 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.680 Gloria Winters have successfully killed Al Grissom, 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.019 a man who looked enough like Leo Winters to have 00:28:55.019 --> 00:28:58.279 been his twin. They've carried him up to Leo's 00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:02.019 bed and now at four o 'clock in the morning a 00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:04.779 frantic Gloria has summoned her sleepy and bewildered 00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:08.640 family doctor for whom she plays the distraught 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:19.400 and bereaved wife. prescribed and he seemed to 00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:22.740 feel better. I didn't have to have to sleep. 00:29:24.579 --> 00:29:28.359 I think you'd do well to take that sedative yourself. 00:29:29.539 --> 00:29:33.160 It's all my fault if I hadn't given up. No, it's 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:35.819 no one's fault, Gloria. If there's any blame 00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:39.799 attached to this tragedy, it's mine. But certainly 00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.380 his symptoms earlier didn't seem to warrant more 00:29:42.380 --> 00:30:00.660 action than I thought. I want you to take this 00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:05.599 sedative and go downstairs and lie down. I'll 00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:10.559 attend to everything. All right, I will. Thank 00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:29.630 you. Thank you. Have I ever told you how... clever 00:30:29.630 --> 00:30:33.829 you are. Not more than a million times in the 00:30:33.829 --> 00:30:39.430 last week. That's an exaggeration. So? So I love 00:30:39.430 --> 00:30:43.809 you. You should. Without me, would we be here 00:30:43.809 --> 00:30:47.269 on the Riviera, in fact, living the way we've 00:30:47.269 --> 00:30:51.509 always wanted, with a million dollars, and the 00:30:51.509 --> 00:30:55.170 whole world waiting to see that we enjoy ourselves? 00:30:55.930 --> 00:30:58.009 Do you think we can ever go back to the States? 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:02.819 I don't want to. Do you, Leo? Watch the wheels. 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:06.460 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I've been pretty good the 00:31:06.460 --> 00:31:11.220 lately, haven't I, Al? You've been great. You 00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:14.099 must have really been good with old Doc Carmody, 00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:19.640 too. Oh, he was so upset and so confused. I threw 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.140 the most beautiful fit of hysterics you ever 00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:24.759 saw. Wish I could have seen it. Oh, so broken 00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:27.500 up. So he insisted on handling everything, even 00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:29.349 the insurance people. He never gave him a chance 00:31:29.349 --> 00:31:31.930 to question anything. He signed the death certificate 00:31:31.930 --> 00:31:34.289 and had the body out of the house and into the 00:31:34.289 --> 00:31:36.869 crematorium before they ever got there. What 00:31:36.869 --> 00:31:40.289 about returning to the U .S.? Oh, I don't think 00:31:40.289 --> 00:31:43.789 we should for a while. Maybe in a couple of years. 00:31:44.349 --> 00:31:48.710 But never to Eudelia. Maybe San Francisco. New 00:31:48.710 --> 00:31:56.420 York. We'll see. How about a dip? A pleasure 00:31:56.420 --> 00:32:02.019 to see you again, Al. How you doing? Now, that's 00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:05.200 a silly question. I can see you're doing great. 00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:08.220 No one stays at a class hotel like this unless 00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:12.279 he's doing great. But I always said you had class, 00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:17.180 Al. Yes, and style. Oh, you want to introduce 00:32:17.180 --> 00:32:21.240 me to the girl who's hanging on to you? I'm afraid 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.960 you've got the wrong man. Don't you mean you're 00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:27.920 afraid I got the right one, Al? Look, I don't 00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.039 know you. I've never seen you before in my life. 00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:33.720 Ah, you're not being smart, Al, and you were 00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:37.240 always very smart. That is until three months 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:41.619 ago, when you made your first mistake. Come on, 00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:43.539 darling, let's get away from this. You forget 00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:46.079 it. You're finished with that getting away stuff. 00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:48.759 Well, how can I prove to you that you've made 00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:52.940 a mistake? My name isn't Al Grissom. You're registered 00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:55.779 under a false name? Come on, Al. I'd recognize 00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:59.380 you anywhere. But I still can't figure why you 00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:03.539 didn't try some kind of face job. But, like I 00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:05.859 said, you haven't played this very smart from 00:33:05.859 --> 00:33:08.259 the beginning. Look, mister... Oh, the name is 00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:13.099 Grafton. Lou Grafton. I'll meet you at the Promenade 00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:18.279 Cafe in an hour. One hour, Al. And you be there. 00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:28.220 Don't ask me. Who should I ask? Maybe Al. Very 00:33:28.220 --> 00:33:33.240 funny. Didn't Al ever mention this Lou Grafton? 00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:36.119 Unless I said something. Nothing. Oh, I don't 00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:38.799 believe you. But why would I lie? I don't know. 00:33:39.779 --> 00:33:42.680 But you certainly were cozy enough with Al. I 00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:46.279 found out what I had to. What we had talked about. 00:33:46.819 --> 00:33:49.299 He had no family, no relatives, nothing, nobody 00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:52.200 to trace. I'd better meet this guy and find out 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.390 what he's talking about. I'll go with you. I 00:33:54.390 --> 00:33:56.730 don't think that's smart. We're in it together, 00:33:57.170 --> 00:34:07.849 Al. Who knows? I may even be able to help. Glad 00:34:07.849 --> 00:34:10.650 you could make it, Al. Sit down. This is Gloria. 00:34:10.849 --> 00:34:13.889 Nice meeting you again, Gloria. Tell her you'll 00:34:13.889 --> 00:34:16.710 meet her in a little while, Al. She's an honest. 00:34:17.750 --> 00:34:21.349 And the whole deal? Yes. You've certainly changed, 00:34:21.769 --> 00:34:24.079 Al. You never put a dame on the spot before. 00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:26.840 On the spot? Oh, well, look, look. All I meant 00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:30.760 is that she's with me. You've made a mistake, 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:33.039 and I don't even know what you're talking about. 00:34:33.139 --> 00:34:36.400 Darling, why don't we listen to what he has to 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:41.880 say? Smart. Well, this is the only time I'm gonna 00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:46.000 go soft. The only time. Well, because we've known 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:49.739 each other so long, and... Well, because we didn't 00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:53.820 pull it off the first time. Now I've talked to 00:34:53.820 --> 00:34:57.340 John. I got him to agree that if you give us 00:34:57.340 --> 00:35:00.000 the whole take, we'll forget about what happened. 00:35:00.780 --> 00:35:05.519 The whole take? The whole two million, Al. All 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:09.840 of it. Well, yeah, I'm trying to think. What's 00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:12.219 there to think about? What's your alternative? 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:15.960 You gonna try to run again? You know we'll get 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:17.739 you. You've seen it happen a hundred times to 00:35:17.739 --> 00:35:20.800 other guys who've tried to cross us. You just 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:24.260 tell us where and when we can pick up the cash 00:35:24.260 --> 00:35:27.099 And just thank God that I could make the deal 00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:29.860 for you, and it isn't all that easy. What's your 00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:32.719 problem? It's no use you wouldn't believe you 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:35.119 got a problem. You know we can help it But don't 00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.239 give me any fairy tale any time for what to think 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:40.380 there's nothing to think about know from where 00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:45.500 you say How much time? Another day no deal look 00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:49.000 If you want to do business with me, you'll just 00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.099 have nice You'll be in your room at 10. That's 00:35:52.099 --> 00:35:55.039 plenty of time to think. And while you're at 00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:59.199 it, think about doing it our way. Or this time, 00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:10.139 you'll really end up very dead. Two million dollars. 00:36:10.699 --> 00:36:13.340 That's a lot of dollars. Well, you're a big help. 00:36:13.699 --> 00:36:15.659 Well, I might be if you'd stop repeating the 00:36:15.659 --> 00:36:18.159 figures over and over again. There's no way we 00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.639 can get two million dollars. I've got to prove 00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.840 to them that I'm not Al Grissom. Then they'll 00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.519 leave us alone. And how do you do that? Of course. 00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:33.400 Fingerprints. I'll have absolute proof. Even 00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:36.579 those guys will delete fingerprints. And who's 00:36:36.579 --> 00:36:39.380 going to tell them? You? Yeah, no, no, no. I've 00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:42.699 got to arrange somehow for the police to send 00:36:42.699 --> 00:36:45.780 my prints to Washington or somewhere. And the 00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:48.719 police will get word back that these aren't the 00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.550 fingerprints of Al Grissom. but really the prince 00:36:51.550 --> 00:36:56.510 of a man named Leo Winters who supposedly died 00:36:56.510 --> 00:37:00.570 one month ago and whose widow collected a million 00:37:00.570 --> 00:37:05.949 dollars in life insurance. You're right. That's 00:37:05.949 --> 00:37:09.489 the only way to go. How do we convince him of 00:37:09.489 --> 00:37:12.030 that grissom? I don't know. We went through a 00:37:12.030 --> 00:37:13.849 lot of trouble to prove to the world that you 00:37:13.849 --> 00:37:16.449 were. Who was this grissom? He must have been 00:37:16.449 --> 00:37:21.239 awfully big to get into a deal like this. I think 00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:25.900 he must be calling you. Me? Who else? I don't 00:37:25.900 --> 00:37:28.019 want to answer it. Oh, that's not smart. They 00:37:28.019 --> 00:37:30.440 know we're here. Now, don't start talking like 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:36.739 Grafton. Hello? Al, it's me. What do you want? 00:37:36.980 --> 00:37:39.159 Al, I was wondering whether you'd made up your 00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:42.539 mind. What, Chad? It's nine o 'clock. Who said 00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:47.559 ten? I did, but John's not happy. What do I care 00:37:47.559 --> 00:38:07.090 about John? You sure? thinking to do and I'll 00:38:07.090 --> 00:38:13.610 see you at 10. Well? I know who and what Grissom 00:38:13.610 --> 00:38:17.429 was. He took hot stocks and bonds and cashed 00:38:17.429 --> 00:38:21.530 them and then turned the cash over to... To... 00:38:21.530 --> 00:38:24.010 The boys? I suppose you could call him that. 00:38:24.789 --> 00:38:29.190 Does that help any? A little. Maybe. How? At 00:38:29.190 --> 00:38:32.150 least we know what they're after. If there was 00:38:32.150 --> 00:38:38.989 some way we could... Well, suppose there were, 00:38:39.030 --> 00:38:43.690 then what? I don't know yet. Play along with 00:38:43.690 --> 00:39:12.440 me when Grafton comes up at ten. I don't have 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.139 the two million with me. We never figured you 00:39:15.139 --> 00:39:18.059 did. Where is it? Chicago? I'll pick it up. When? 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:21.059 As soon as I can. Will you stop playing games? 00:39:21.059 --> 00:39:24.900 When? It's back in the States. Okay, okay. You'll 00:39:24.900 --> 00:39:28.639 get the next plan. That's so fast. It's somewhere 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:32.260 in New Delhi and I... I can't go back there. 00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:37.880 Why not? A little something. The cops might want 00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:47.119 to talk to me. About what? About a girl. Nothing. 00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.619 If you don't get caught by her husband and get 00:39:50.619 --> 00:39:54.579 into a fight, beat him up, and he calls the cops. 00:39:54.699 --> 00:39:58.539 That's not much of a rap. That's right. But you'd 00:39:58.539 --> 00:40:00.760 want to see me in jail. Yeah, you got a point. 00:40:01.659 --> 00:40:03.980 We'll pick up the dough. No way. Why not? We're 00:40:03.980 --> 00:40:07.440 gonna get it anyway. You're gonna get it. But 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:10.980 I want some assurance that I'm gonna be okay. 00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:14.099 You have my word. I'd like a little more than 00:40:14.099 --> 00:40:16.860 that. Like what? That's what I've been trying 00:40:16.860 --> 00:40:20.039 to figure out. Some way I'll be sure that if 00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:21.900 you haven't figured it out by now, you're not 00:40:21.900 --> 00:40:25.420 going to. I got the plane tickets. You sure don't 00:40:25.420 --> 00:40:28.179 give me much time. We gave you time before, Al. 00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:37.860 Too much time. Will you stop pacing up and down 00:40:37.860 --> 00:40:41.500 like an animal? I think I may have an idea. I 00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:44.559 hope. On the plane, I'll tell them I figured 00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:49.199 it out. Since I can't go back to you, Delia, 00:40:49.659 --> 00:40:52.059 I'll insist that I want someone representing 00:40:52.059 --> 00:40:55.139 me when they pick up the money. But there is 00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:58.440 no money. They don't know that. I'll insist that 00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.320 you go along. Hold it. You be all right. What 00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.320 happens when they find out there isn't any money 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.039 and I'm there and you are not? Put in a call 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.519 to Carmody. Tell him you can't get over what's 00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:13.880 happened, that you need help, and that you've 00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.679 gotten into some kind of trouble. He should have 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:20.440 the police there. Then you take them to the doctor's 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.500 house. And with the cops there, you'll be in 00:41:23.500 --> 00:41:26.900 the clear. And you? I'll be going. I'd rather 00:41:26.900 --> 00:41:31.260 be alive and running than the other way. I don't 00:41:31.260 --> 00:41:33.860 like it. Then think of something better, because 00:41:33.860 --> 00:41:47.590 that's the way I'm gonna play it. the game but 00:41:47.590 --> 00:41:51.670 just in case you do these two young fellows here 00:41:51.670 --> 00:41:54.550 are in our party they'll be on the plane with 00:41:54.550 --> 00:42:09.170 us all the way to Chicago excuse me one moment 00:42:09.170 --> 00:42:14.650 please what do you want lieutenant for no interpol 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:19.199 I believe you are Mr. Leo Winters. I'm afraid 00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:21.519 you're mistaken. I've known this man for years. 00:42:21.699 --> 00:42:26.059 His name is Al. Mr. Winters. You heard him. You've 00:42:26.059 --> 00:42:29.760 got the wrong man. Please, don't make a fuss, 00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:33.559 Mr. Winters. I'm instructed to hold you for the 00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:40.840 murder of an Alvin Grissop in Eudelia. Hold me? 00:42:41.610 --> 00:42:44.630 Who about her she's my wife and she was in on 00:42:44.630 --> 00:42:47.489 this from the beginning that the whole we know 00:42:47.489 --> 00:42:52.449 all about Mrs. Winters In fact, she was the one 00:42:52.449 --> 00:42:56.329 who informed us about the murder in return for 00:42:56.329 --> 00:43:02.130 some small promises She told she you asked me 00:43:02.130 --> 00:43:07.190 remember You said think of something better and 00:43:07.190 --> 00:43:12.219 I did Come along mr. Winters Gentlemen, do you 00:43:12.219 --> 00:43:20.300 excuse us? I'm coming, Lieutenant. I'm coming 00:43:20.300 --> 00:43:25.860 without any trouble. You see, Grafton, you didn't 00:43:25.860 --> 00:43:32.360 believe me. If you'd only have believed me, maybe 00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:41.449 we could have worked out a deal after all. The 00:43:41.449 --> 00:43:44.889 Winters had a good plan and it all would have 00:43:44.889 --> 00:43:48.250 worked except for one thing they couldn't have 00:43:48.250 --> 00:43:53.329 foreseen. The bend in the road ahead and what 00:43:53.329 --> 00:44:08.889 lay around it. I'll return shortly. If Gloria 00:44:08.889 --> 00:44:11.489 and Leo Winters could have known what lay ahead 00:44:11.489 --> 00:44:14.670 of them, they would never have gone through with 00:44:14.670 --> 00:44:18.389 their plan. That is, if they could have seen 00:44:18.389 --> 00:44:23.610 into the future and around the bend. Yet actually 00:44:23.610 --> 00:44:26.909 being able to see into the future, to know what's 00:44:26.909 --> 00:44:29.550 going to happen next week, next month, next year, 00:44:29.969 --> 00:44:33.869 is a gift that most of us wouldn't want. Because 00:44:33.869 --> 00:44:39.289 who knows what terrors may lie ahead. Our cast 00:44:39.289 --> 00:44:43.309 included Leon Janney, Joan Lovejoy, Larry Haynes, 00:44:43.630 --> 00:44:47.489 Paul Hecht, and Robert Dryden. The entire production 00:44:47.489 --> 00:44:51.389 was under the direction of Hyman Brown. And now, 00:44:51.789 --> 00:44:58.070 a preview of our next tale. There are no such 00:44:58.070 --> 00:45:02.070 things as ghosts. I'm just imagining things. 00:45:03.210 --> 00:45:10.840 But I see you. I see you. No, don't. Don't hurt 00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:15.699 me. Whatever you are, please, stay away from 00:45:15.699 --> 00:45:19.599 me. I'll go right down the stairs, walk out of 00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:23.039 the house, and never come back. Is that what 00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:41.880 you want? Please. what all the papers say, Mr. 00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:46.159 Gaff. But we know better. That house is haunted. 00:45:46.900 --> 00:45:49.460 This is E .G. Marshall inviting you to return 00:45:49.460 --> 00:45:52.559 to our mystery theater for another adventure 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:58.760 in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant dreams.
