WEBVTT 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:27.100 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:31.679 to the sound of suspense. To the fear you can 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:36.159 hear. This time around, we're involved in the 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.320 supernatural. Any dictionary will give you several 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.600 definitions. Supernatural, above and beyond the 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.299 natural order of events. of or related to ghosts, 00:00:51.259 --> 00:00:54.460 behavior caused by the intervention or by the 00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:58.759 action of a god on earthly affairs. Choose your 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.259 own definition for this tale we are about to 00:01:02.259 --> 00:01:13.239 relate. No. They won't want me here. Someone, 00:01:14.299 --> 00:01:27.700 something doesn't want me here. Richard. April. 00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:38.819 April is doing as my... April. No. I don't believe 00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:46.560 in ghosts. I will... I will... No. Who's there? 00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:23.599 Another drama, Here Goes the Bride, was written 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.740 especially for the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin 00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:31.960 and stars Ruby Dee and Michael Wager. I'll be 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:50.919 back shortly with Act One. something totally 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.060 beyond this earth. There are those among us who 00:02:55.060 --> 00:03:00.219 hover somewhere between earth and sky. The stars 00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:03.219 who light up our theater marquees or movie screens. 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.460 All the human beings who have become by extension 00:03:07.460 --> 00:03:12.580 a little larger than life. This is the shocking 00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:22.319 tale about two of those. It's such a lovely day. 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.860 Can't we put the top down? Well, I don't want 00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:27.240 to take a chance on being recognized. Nobody 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.520 will recognize me. Just do as I say, please. 00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:32.919 I'm sorry to make you do the driving, darling, 00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:35.800 but that's why I had Juan leave my sister Lisa's 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.219 car in Monterey. The damn snoops should know 00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:42.020 by now not to pay any attention to it. Does your 00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:45.460 sister look like me, Richard? Enough from a distance. 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.439 Same colored hair. But not really. is attractive 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.379 enough, I suppose. No, actually, she is very 00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:59.580 plain, and you... Yes. You're the most beautiful 00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:02.580 woman I've ever known. And I thought you only 00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:06.159 married me for my money. Don't say that. Well, 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.900 darling, I was only joking. Did you really mean 00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:14.879 what you said about me? Every word. But she was 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.040 so beautiful. How could you? April was April. 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.540 She isn't in my world or anyone else's anymore. 00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:26.259 She's dead. I'm sorry, darling. I shouldn't have 00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:29.579 brought her up. I... Oh, we're here already. 00:04:31.339 --> 00:04:36.079 So, I'm about to see Richard Morgan's Bolly at 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.839 last. I'll let the walls spoil it for you. Oh, 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.540 it's like a fortress, Bob. Why, a broken glass? 00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:45.839 And the gate looks as though you borrowed it 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.199 from the Bastille. Does it all have to be so 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.560 hard? The price of privacy. What little we could 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.720 ever get. The fans considered April and myself 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.120 public property. But we could forget that once 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.660 we're inside. From there looking out, you can't 00:05:02.660 --> 00:05:06.959 even see the walls. Open the gate. I don't think 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.379 I could even budget it if I knew how. Not manually. 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.980 You see the little box on the visor? It's an 00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:16.100 electric gizmo. Just press the button on it. 00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:23.399 It's a magic castle. Enter your majesty and long 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:31.459 live the Queen. Pull over to the gatehouse. Stop 00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:37.300 a minute. What are those, the hounds or the basketballs? 00:05:37.339 --> 00:05:39.980 They are guardian angels. They patrol the grounds 00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:45.000 at night. Juan, amigo! Que pasa con los peros? 00:05:45.230 --> 00:05:48.910 They know you are back in Casa Mi Padrón. They 00:05:48.910 --> 00:05:52.129 will not be tranquil till they see you for themselves. 00:05:52.949 --> 00:05:56.370 Bienvenida en Casa Senora Mujer. Muchas gracias 00:05:56.370 --> 00:06:00.910 viejo amigo. Darling, this is Juan. This is Senora 00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:04.750 Aguilar. Juan, permíteme presentarte a nueva 00:06:04.750 --> 00:06:11.290 senora. Mi esposa, Senora Mujer. Juan, put the 00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:14.509 top down for the senora. I'll get the dogs quiet. 00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:20.879 It's good to get some fresh air. Well, my husband 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.220 didn't have any trouble quieting down the dog. 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.860 They're not really as savage as they sound. Are 00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:33.600 they one? They are trained to kill, senora. Anyone 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.420 who does not belong here? Oh, goodness. I hope 00:06:38.420 --> 00:06:41.379 they get to know me soon, then. If they learn 00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:43.959 to know you belong, you have nothing to fear. 00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:48.259 You've been here a long time? Since the house 00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:50.959 was first built. Then you were here from the 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.079 beginning with Richard's... with Richard's first 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:59.240 wife, April. Si. A terrible tragedy for all of 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.660 you. You must have loved her. She was. La Senora 00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:07.860 de la Casa. I hope you won't blame me for trying 00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:12.899 to take her place. There is no one to take her 00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:23.879 place. Conchita? Sí, señorita. Here in the hall. 00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:28.319 Yes, señorita Morgan. You didn't take her portrait 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:33.480 down. La señora? April? That is her place. I 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.439 don't think my brother is going to agree with 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.519 you. He is bringing home a new bride, you know. 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.399 I know. Didn't he suggest it might be a sensible 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.160 idea to clear away all the portraits and memories 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.160 of April from around the house? The portrait 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.360 here in the hall is painted on plaster. It cannot 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.069 be removed. Any more than her memory can be removed. 00:07:52.870 --> 00:07:58.110 So it stays. This is her place. No one can take 00:07:58.110 --> 00:08:04.490 it. A fresco. Funny, I never realized that. Because 00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:07.649 it's framed, I suppose. It was El Patron's idea 00:08:07.649 --> 00:08:11.370 for the wedding present. His way of saying, here 00:08:11.370 --> 00:08:15.329 is my love, which will never die. As it will 00:08:15.329 --> 00:08:22.779 never die for any of us. Think so. Maybe not. 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.339 But once he returns again, I think he will know 00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:41.559 there is only one La Señora. Now you're really 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.340 going to see what Bonaparte is all about. I'm 00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:53.820 going to drive slow so you can drink it in. Horrible 00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:58.159 not only the house but the clips and that wide 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.899 leap off into the Pacific and all the way to 00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:05.620 the horizon. Oh I love it. I hope you'll be able 00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:11.559 to I do already except Except what? The rest 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.500 of it is also bad that suddenly the house seems 00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:18.679 small Now the closer we get I realize how huge 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.600 it is Alex. It's rambling Started from small 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.379 beginnings and then just kept on growing. Looking 00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:27.879 at that main house, it wasn't all that small. 00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.080 Well, for its day it was. Big families then. 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.600 All that's left of mine I see clustered on the 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.259 porch. My sister. And the lady with her? That's 00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:43.440 our housekeeper. Conchita Aguilar. She's Juan's 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.980 wife. I have no one, but at least you have a 00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:49.299 sister. Makes me feel a lot less like an orphan. 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.340 And the house is so lovely. I hope I've come 00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:56.860 home. I told you when we came back to America 00:09:56.860 --> 00:10:02.879 that would be your decision. Jenny, for many 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:07.100 reasons, it's not going to be an easy one. But 00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:11.360 just give it a chance. I'll welcome it, Richard. 00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:25.490 If only it will welcome me. We flew straight 00:10:25.490 --> 00:10:27.850 from Japan to San Francisco. Then drove down 00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:29.889 to Monterey to pick up the car. Oh, it's good 00:10:29.889 --> 00:10:33.509 to see you. Your bride is lovely. But you could 00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:36.389 have let us know about the wedding. Lisa, I wanted 00:10:36.389 --> 00:10:40.090 to keep it private, so we just sneaked off. More 00:10:40.090 --> 00:10:44.610 coffee, Jenny? Richard? No, I think I'll have 00:10:44.610 --> 00:10:47.570 some brandy. How about you girls? Not for me. 00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:51.029 I pass. Oh, it's a magnificent night. There's 00:10:51.029 --> 00:10:56.110 going to be a full moon. Damn dogs are all stirred 00:10:56.110 --> 00:11:00.549 up again. Jenny? Yes, Richard? Want to walk down 00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:02.830 with me and start making friends with them? Well, 00:11:02.830 --> 00:11:05.789 I'm a little tired tonight. I bet I'd make a 00:11:05.789 --> 00:11:08.289 better dog pal by daylight. Well, why don't you 00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:10.210 go ahead while I go up and get ready for bed. 00:11:11.230 --> 00:11:13.210 Well, you're the one they're calling for anyway. 00:11:14.070 --> 00:11:17.669 I've missed them. And it's nice to have been 00:11:17.669 --> 00:11:20.289 missed. Would you mind if I won't be over a half 00:11:20.289 --> 00:11:22.809 hour? I'll be waiting for you when you get back. 00:11:23.319 --> 00:11:25.440 I'll close the French windows. Don't forget to 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.539 lock them, Lisa. No, no. Leave them open. The 00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:29.519 breeze is wonderful. I'll see they get closed, 00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:31.200 Richie. I've been taking care of that for the 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.440 last year. Take care of my bride, too, Lisa. 00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:39.559 Good night to you, Lisa. I'll see you later, 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.940 Jenny. Well, a very sexy goodbye. Your brother 00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:49.039 is a very sexy man. Why didn't you know this? 00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:51.379 Well, why should I be the only woman in the Northern 00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:55.320 Hemisphere to have it escape me? Oh, Lisa. It's 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.759 what makes my blood run cold sometimes. That 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.899 and April. She can scarcely run you much competition 00:12:02.899 --> 00:12:07.720 anymore. Because she's dead. She is? Well, not 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.940 really. In so many ways, I'm terribly naive growing 00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:14.379 up. in Japan, knowing so little of my native 00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:16.759 country. I was always aware that Richard Morgan 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.000 was a star. After all, he was in Japan to make 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.240 a movie. And I knew he'd been married for many 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.100 years to April Sanders. It was only after I'd 00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:28.519 married Richard and come back to America that 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.840 I began to realize I'd married into royalty. 00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:35.840 Not only that, but I'd brushed blindly into marrying 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.639 the King. without seeing that the Queen is not 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.059 dead. Oh Jenny, don't be silly. The Queen is 00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:46.480 very dead. Not in most people's memories. How 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.120 did this happen, Lisa? How could that vibrant, 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.480 overwhelmingly wonderful woman have met her death? 00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:58.559 Want to take a little walk, Jenny? I could use 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.480 some air. Which way do we go? Oh, towards the 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.460 sea. There's enough moonlight to light the way. 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.559 Are you cold? Lord, no. I welcome the breeze. 00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:13.980 Were you taking me to the end of the world? What? 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:19.059 Well, where April ended hers. You wanted to know 00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:32.259 how it happened, didn't you? I think I've gone 00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:36.519 far enough, Lisa. Only a few steps. What is this 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.840 path? I mean somebody cut it out of solid rock. 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.440 It's called the seven steps to heaven. More like 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.440 seventy. Richard had them cut for April on their 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:51.080 seventh anniversary. You'll see why now as we 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.340 come out on the ledge. It's windier tonight than 00:13:55.340 --> 00:14:00.360 I thought. Those days it's calm up here. The 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.710 sun pours down. You can lie out here on the ledge 00:14:03.710 --> 00:14:06.730 with the sea four hundred feet below and drench 00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:08.730 in the sun as though you were the only person 00:14:08.730 --> 00:14:12.690 in the world. April treated this as a shrine. 00:14:13.450 --> 00:14:16.549 She was an indufferate sun worshiper. But it's 00:14:16.549 --> 00:14:20.350 sheer heaven bathed in moonlight. If you look 00:14:20.350 --> 00:14:23.830 up, I can't see too much of the shadows looking 00:14:23.830 --> 00:14:28.769 down. The rocks are as jagged as teeth. Four 00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:32.690 hundred feet straight down. This is right where 00:14:32.690 --> 00:14:36.110 she fell. Spread -eagled on the rocks, broken 00:14:36.110 --> 00:14:40.230 and mangled, but speared by the sharp edges so 00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:42.309 even the restless sea couldn't wash her away. 00:14:42.389 --> 00:14:48.330 Oh my God, Liz. How could she have gone close 00:14:48.330 --> 00:14:52.590 enough to fall? She didn't fall. But the paper 00:14:52.590 --> 00:14:55.750 says the story that was given out. Conchita believes 00:14:55.750 --> 00:14:59.889 it, Richie claims he does. Others are not so 00:14:59.889 --> 00:15:03.820 sure. Come on, this place gives me the heebie 00:15:03.820 --> 00:15:05.399 -jeebies. Let's get back to the house before 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:17.340 Richie sets those damn dogs loose. Oh, excuse 00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:19.659 me, I was just turning down the bed. Which I'm 00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:21.500 sure you're quite ready to roll into, Jenny. 00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:25.600 Good night, dear. Welcome home. Such as it is. 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.500 Good night, Lisa. See you whenever. Don't feel 00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:32.509 there's anything to get up for. Will there be 00:15:32.509 --> 00:15:35.730 anything else, Madame? No, thanks, Conchita. 00:15:36.049 --> 00:15:39.429 Then I will say, Buenas noches, Madame. Wait 00:15:39.429 --> 00:15:44.590 a minute. Si, Madame. Madame is not a Spanish 00:15:44.590 --> 00:15:47.870 word. Why do you call me that? What would you 00:15:47.870 --> 00:15:52.110 have me call you? Well, since I am Richard's 00:15:52.110 --> 00:15:56.509 wife, shouldn't it be Senora? In this house, 00:15:57.129 --> 00:16:00.879 there was only one Senora. But she is dead. Jamás 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:05.600 en el corazón. Never in the heart. For anyone 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:20.179 who knew her. Buenas noches, madame. Bridget? 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:43.399 Bridget, are you awake? What's happening? Jenny, 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:48.639 Jenny, what is it? Don't you hear? Hear what? 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:55.840 There's nothing. But there was... What is it, 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.039 darling? You look as though you've seen a ghost. 00:16:59.419 --> 00:17:05.619 Not seen. I heard. It was her. April, your wife. 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:10.400 Be quiet! You're my wife. April is dead. But 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:25.319 she still doesn't... What me? Nobody does. Not 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.539 a very auspicious house warming for poor Jenny 00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:34.099 at Bon Repos. Bon Repos. A reasonable translation 00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:38.880 of the French is sweet dreams. But there will 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.329 be few sweet dreams for Jenny. At least this 00:17:42.329 --> 00:17:47.630 night, as for others, we'll find out when we 00:17:47.630 --> 00:18:03.230 return shortly with Act Two. By the fresh light 00:18:03.230 --> 00:18:06.630 of a clear morning with the wind stilled and 00:18:06.630 --> 00:18:10.440 the sunlight flooding all the dark corners, Morepo 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.160 is a little more worthy of its name. But Richard 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.920 Morgan is having a difficult time selling that 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:21.759 to his still shaken bride. Let a little light 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.980 in. You'll feel better, Jenny. No, no, Richard. 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:32.180 I'm still not over last night. Who was it? Darling, 00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:35.579 it wasn't anybody. You still say you didn't hear 00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:38.720 it, that awful sobbing. It was... It was nothing 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.599 but the wind. Sometimes it sighs and moans all 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.220 around the house, and you'd swear it was a human 00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:49.980 voice. But look. Not a whisper this morning. 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:55.099 Even the ocean's like glass. Today, you'll understand 00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:57.920 why I love this house so much. Richard, come 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:02.460 here. Beside me, on the bed. All right, darling? 00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:08.690 I know you love Boomba Pool, but... But what? 00:19:09.930 --> 00:19:14.869 Richard, please, I don't want to live here. Why 00:19:14.869 --> 00:19:17.869 not? No, I'm trying to understand. I don't feel 00:19:17.869 --> 00:19:20.970 I belong here. I know one and Conchita seem to 00:19:20.970 --> 00:19:23.769 resent me. Have they said anything? No, not in 00:19:23.769 --> 00:19:26.369 so many words. It's just a feeling I get. I'm 00:19:26.369 --> 00:19:31.910 not one... That isn't true. Richard, don't you 00:19:31.910 --> 00:19:35.549 see? It's her house. It was her family's house 00:19:35.549 --> 00:19:38.990 to begin with. She's... He is still. She'll never 00:19:38.990 --> 00:19:41.650 leave it. She'll haunt me every minute I'm in 00:19:41.650 --> 00:19:44.069 it. Please, take me away from here. All right. 00:19:44.609 --> 00:19:46.410 If that's what you want, I'll sell the damn place, 00:19:46.630 --> 00:19:51.049 tear it apart, stone by stone. Richard. Oh, Jenny, 00:19:51.230 --> 00:19:55.650 my darling. Look, it's just the time lag, the 00:19:55.650 --> 00:19:58.349 long flight from Japan, days and nights turned 00:19:58.349 --> 00:20:02.829 upside down. I'm going to have Conchita bring 00:20:02.829 --> 00:20:04.970 us a breakfast up to the room. We'll have it 00:20:04.970 --> 00:20:07.940 out on the veranda. Give you a chance to get 00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:11.200 a good look at one's landscaping all that Riot 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.079 of color of bougainvillea poinsettia chameleon 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.380 against the green Maybe that'll change your mind 00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:21.559 about poor old water pool darling. I know how 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:26.039 much you love it and talk Come on Jenny Give 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:31.980 it a chance few more days a week Give it a chance 00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:37.099 to cast its own peculiar spell All right, darling. 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.740 Go get us some breakfast. I'll wash up and brush 00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:44.539 my teeth and get rid of some cobwebs while you're 00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:51.599 gone. Jenny. Yes? I love you, Mrs. Morgan. That's 00:20:51.599 --> 00:21:00.319 who I am. I love you, my husband. Conchita. Si, 00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:06.279 patron. Come over here in the alcove. I couldn't 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:09.099 help it. She woke up, started to scream, and 00:21:09.099 --> 00:21:12.200 then to sob. You heard? No. House must have heard. 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.240 I didn't just stop her. I did as soon as I could. 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.359 You know I don't want my wife to know about her 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:21.440 being here. I know. Then keep her quiet. Conservatives. 00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:26.140 That's your job. And I want my new wife made 00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:29.059 welcome. That is not my job. Then I'll find someone 00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:32.200 else for it. You would drive Juan and me from 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:38.460 this house? We'll... We'll talk about this later. 00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:41.960 For now, bring breakfast to the veranda for the 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.900 Signor and me. Si, Signor. Where's my sister? 00:21:46.299 --> 00:21:53.940 In her room, I think. Muy bien. Come in. It's 00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:59.579 open. Richard. I didn't expect to see you this 00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:03.359 morning. Why not? Well, after all, brother mine, 00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:07.170 a new bridegroom. I'm an old bridegroom by now. 00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:11.750 Yes, maybe she is a touch young for you. Damn 00:22:11.750 --> 00:22:14.089 you, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean what I 00:22:14.089 --> 00:22:16.150 said either. I was only teasing you. She's a 00:22:16.150 --> 00:22:19.490 lovely girl. She's sunny and free and unspoiled. 00:22:19.650 --> 00:22:24.009 I want to keep her that way. What the devil am 00:22:24.009 --> 00:22:26.630 I going to do about her? Upstairs there, you 00:22:26.630 --> 00:22:29.049 heard her last night. Well, you know my feelings 00:22:29.049 --> 00:22:34.390 on the subject. Get rid of her. For good. I can't. 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:40.200 After all, it's part of her house. God, why won't 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:43.339 she die? It would be a neat solution to it all, 00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:47.500 wouldn't it? But it seems she just won't. I'm 00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:49.099 afraid you're stuck with her as long as your 00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:52.420 conscience holds you back. Please, for God's 00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:55.819 sake, don't tell Jenny about her. Just how long 00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:58.500 do you think you can keep her secret? I don't 00:22:58.500 --> 00:23:02.720 know. All I need is a few days, a week. By then, 00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:12.500 one way or another, it won't matter. Are you 00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:14.460 going to start country hopping again, or are 00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:16.420 you going to stay home and make some nice, solid 00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:19.380 American movies? Well, that depends on my negotiations. 00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:22.279 The next week or ten days. Jenny, you're not 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:24.960 eating your steak. Want it on the fire a little 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.880 more? No, thanks. I really ate too much of that 00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.579 wonderful salad. I don't think I could eat another 00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:35.119 thing. Conchita? Si, senor. I think you can clear 00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:37.759 the table. You want dessert, dear? I don't think 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.789 so. Lisa, please forgive me, but... I'm so full 00:23:40.789 --> 00:23:44.029 of sand, sea, air, and scouting the property 00:23:44.029 --> 00:23:47.049 that I'm really bushed. Would you excuse me? 00:23:47.089 --> 00:23:50.730 Of course, Jenny. Get a good sleep. I'll see 00:23:50.730 --> 00:23:52.730 you upstairs, darling. Shall I have Conchita 00:23:52.730 --> 00:23:54.589 bring us some coffee? Oh, no, no. I just want 00:23:54.589 --> 00:23:57.529 to sleep and sleep and make up for the last few 00:23:57.529 --> 00:24:00.630 days. You don't have to come up. Try and keep 00:24:00.630 --> 00:24:05.049 me away. Night, Lisa. Night. See you tomorrow. 00:24:06.190 --> 00:24:09.839 I feel like such a party pooper. Please don't 00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:16.240 forgive us. I ambushed myself. Darling, you're 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:20.940 positively weaving. I feel a little high or low 00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:24.019 or something. How about my arm for support? I'd 00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:30.559 love it. No good? No, fine. I was just... She 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:41.119 was so lovely, Richard. Huh? April of Fresco. 00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:44.579 That damn thing, I wish I'd never dreamed it 00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:47.980 up. I promise you it'll be removed or covered 00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:51.079 or something. Oh, no, darling. It's too lovely 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.839 to destroy. Besides, no matter what you do or 00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:57.200 anyone tries to do, the memory of April Sanders 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.779 and our time can never be wiped out or erased. 00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:03.920 It's something we both have to live with. She 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.960 was like... Jean Harlow. Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:12.700 Taylor. She belonged to the public. But you had 00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:24.160 her painted to endure forever. Are you sure the 00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.500 dog was poisonous? That's enough, you two silencio! 00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:31.640 What was all that arguing about? Nothing, nothing, 00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.299 nothing. Trouble with one of the dogs. Come on, 00:25:34.339 --> 00:25:36.930 Jenny. Let's have some morning coffee and juice 00:25:36.930 --> 00:25:40.250 and get back to normal. What's the matter with 00:25:40.250 --> 00:25:44.450 the dog? Here's your juice. Oh, it's what I've 00:25:44.450 --> 00:25:47.609 been trying to steal myself to weed out. He's 00:25:47.609 --> 00:25:50.269 a maverick, or was. What do you mean? Well, some 00:25:50.269 --> 00:25:53.529 dogs take to training, some don't. This one just 00:25:53.529 --> 00:25:57.170 never did. He's unpredictable. A natural born 00:25:57.170 --> 00:26:00.730 scavenger. He picked up something from the garbage 00:26:00.730 --> 00:26:04.809 with a botulism, I guess. Anyway, he died this 00:26:04.809 --> 00:26:07.710 morning. But what could have done? Look, don't 00:26:07.710 --> 00:26:10.809 take on about it. I'm going down to bring up 00:26:10.809 --> 00:26:13.589 some eggs and bacon. Why don't you set the table 00:26:13.589 --> 00:26:18.289 for us on the veranda? Of course, darling. The 00:26:18.289 --> 00:26:22.089 steak. I didn't eat it. Isn't that what poisoned 00:26:22.089 --> 00:26:27.160 him? Oh, God, help me to know what to do. I love 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:29.720 my husband, but every instinct in me tells me 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:42.519 to run. Run for my life! Yep. Yep. Sure, JB. 00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.019 No, I don't like it, but if it's the only way, 00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:51.059 I'll be there. Yes, yes, right away. No, I'll... 00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:53.400 I'll... I'll drive down. It's almost dark already, 00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:58.069 so I'll not take much of a chance. Well, yes, 00:26:58.190 --> 00:27:01.009 thanks, yes. I'll stay with you overnight and 00:27:01.009 --> 00:27:04.329 come right back. You're going to Los Angeles? 00:27:05.529 --> 00:27:08.670 Just overnight, darling. But take me with you. 00:27:08.890 --> 00:27:12.049 Oh, Jenny, I can't. This is all strictly business. 00:27:12.289 --> 00:27:14.950 And I stay here alone? I'm not alone. Lisa's 00:27:14.950 --> 00:27:17.369 with you. Thank God for that. I have nothing 00:27:17.369 --> 00:27:22.029 to worry about. Of course I haven't. Go, do what 00:27:22.029 --> 00:27:25.119 you have to do and come back to me safe. And 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:38.299 you stay safe for me to come back to. Well, wouldn't 00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:40.500 you know, the moment my brother cuts out, the 00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:43.440 local electricity has to fail. Here's your candle, 00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:46.519 Jenny. Want me to come in with you? No, I'm fine. 00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.500 There are plenty of others in the candelabra. 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.240 They can burn all night. I won't need them. That 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:53.910 good night drink we had is... curdle my brain. 00:27:54.069 --> 00:27:56.869 I know, me too. I don't know about you, but I'm 00:27:56.869 --> 00:27:59.430 sailing. Maybe there was something in Conchita's 00:27:59.430 --> 00:28:01.690 aureus confolia, but I'm positively lightheaded. 00:28:02.950 --> 00:28:06.710 Well, whatever it was, thank God for small favors. 00:28:06.950 --> 00:28:10.569 I'll sleep sound tonight if I can just find the 00:28:10.569 --> 00:28:14.950 bed. Oh, I'm really high as a kite, and no reason 00:28:14.950 --> 00:28:18.970 for it. Whatever it is, don't let Conchita see 00:28:18.970 --> 00:28:34.019 me like this. See me to bed, Lisa. No, no. They 00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:39.640 don't want me here. Someone, something. But who? 00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:45.539 Conchita? Juan? Richard? No, please, please, 00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:50.220 not Richard. But April, April is... still in 00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:59.099 his mind. April. No, no. I don't believe ghosts. 00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:36.339 I won't. Who's there? was the dead woman April 00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:40.640 Morgan. But what a travesty of that beautiful 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:46.119 woman. A face gaunt and haggard. The eyes staring 00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:50.259 blankly from the desiccated skin. A hellish ghoul 00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:54.759 raised from the year -old grave. No wonder Jenny 00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:59.660 mercifully passed out. We'll return shortly with 00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:16.069 Act Three. Spectral figure that hovers over Jenny, 00:30:16.690 --> 00:30:20.329 motionless under the covers, stands as still 00:30:20.329 --> 00:30:24.670 as the girl lies in the bed. Is her presence 00:30:24.670 --> 00:30:30.369 as malign as Jenny deems it to be, or as benign 00:30:30.369 --> 00:30:35.890 as it seems to be? Hush, child. Hush. I mean 00:30:35.890 --> 00:30:41.390 you no harm. But you are. How you must hate me. 00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:48.400 Her. April. His wife. Oh, no. No, I'm not April. 00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:56.539 April is dead. She died, you know. I thought 00:30:56.539 --> 00:31:03.980 I did. Then who am I? I'm her mother. April was 00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:12.400 my daughter. You live here. Yes. Then you're 00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:15.839 the one I heard the other night, sobbing. Was 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:23.759 I? Perhaps I was. I'm very sad, you know. Because 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.059 your daughter died. Because my daughter was killed. 00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:31.700 Killed? What did April have to die for? She had 00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:34.680 everything to live for. She'd never commit suicide. 00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:37.839 But it was an accident, wasn't it? Oh. April 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:40.900 was as graceful as a fawn. She was a dancer, 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.920 you know. She had an incredible sense of balance. 00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:48.079 She could never have lost it. Are you suggesting 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.720 she was pushed? Why do you think I'm locked up 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.980 there in my room on the third floor with Conchita 00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:59.440 as my jailer? The housekeeper. Conchita is a 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:04.680 practical nurse. And I am a prisoner half the 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:09.160 time under sedation. Living in limbo, the shut 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.839 -in to end all shut -ins. But why? To keep me 00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.220 from crying it to the skies. To keep the truth 00:32:16.220 --> 00:32:19.839 buried like me and my daughter. Except that I 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.759 am on the third floor and April is six feet deep. 00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:28.019 He was jealous of her. He couldn't stand the 00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:30.380 fact that she was the talent. She held it all 00:32:30.380 --> 00:32:33.319 together. She made the legends. And when the 00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:35.819 truth was coming out that he meant nothing, that 00:32:35.819 --> 00:32:39.480 she was the star, he had to drag her out of the 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:44.900 skies, destroy her, kill her. Who? Your new husband, 00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:48.440 Richard Morgan. That's why I came to warn you. 00:32:48.740 --> 00:32:52.299 Get out while you can. Come here! Come here right 00:32:52.299 --> 00:32:57.539 now! What is it he wants to take from you? Open 00:32:57.539 --> 00:33:02.279 the door! I'm coming on! What do you want? Are 00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.579 you rich? Yes. I will come into your house. Then 00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:10.559 run like the wind. He will kill you. Just as 00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:23.799 he did April. Are you all right, Jenny? Are you 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.519 all right? I'll do. But the lights are on again. 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:32.069 Yes. What happened? Two... To April's mother. 00:33:32.430 --> 00:33:35.829 One has taken her back to her room. She's mad, 00:33:35.829 --> 00:33:39.390 you know. She's quite mad. She... She accused 00:33:39.390 --> 00:33:43.190 Richard of killing April. It's her obsession. 00:33:43.849 --> 00:33:46.950 She should be institutionalized, but Richie... 00:33:46.950 --> 00:33:48.990 Well, he could never hurt a fly. But I don't 00:33:48.990 --> 00:33:54.789 understand why. Now what? Headlights. Coming 00:33:54.789 --> 00:33:57.630 up the drive. Must be Richie. I'd better go down 00:33:57.630 --> 00:34:09.380 and let him in. Don't be terrified of me, Jenny. 00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:12.340 Well, I don't mean to. I don't know what's the 00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:14.159 matter with me. Look, April's mother must have 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.320 shaken you. Well, why would you have kept it 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:21.579 a secret? Look, I'm exhausted, and you're tired. 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.139 Must we go through it tonight? I don't think 00:34:25.139 --> 00:34:28.099 we can go through any other night if we don't. 00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:34.500 Okay. It all has to do with a living legend. 00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:38.750 April was a... a star, a sick symbol developed 00:34:38.750 --> 00:34:42.889 by the studios. I was a stage actor with a gift 00:34:42.889 --> 00:34:47.750 of reasonable looks and an unusual voice. Separately, 00:34:47.750 --> 00:34:52.849 we had great success. But together, when we did 00:34:52.849 --> 00:34:56.949 get together, particularly after our marriage, 00:34:57.610 --> 00:35:01.269 we became something not only wildly larger than 00:35:01.269 --> 00:35:05.349 life, but larger than even just plain stardom. 00:35:06.030 --> 00:35:11.769 Our own lives disappeared, replaced by a storybook 00:35:11.769 --> 00:35:15.989 romance that our careers had to conform to, despite 00:35:15.989 --> 00:35:21.750 the fact that we had learned, oh well, not to 00:35:21.750 --> 00:35:26.070 hate each other, but that we had no love left. 00:35:26.650 --> 00:35:34.110 You didn't love April. Jenny, I couldn't stand 00:35:34.110 --> 00:35:40.239 her. He was selfish, avaricious, demanding, petty, 00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:44.900 an impossible woman. So you... so you got rid 00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:50.539 of her? You don't believe that? No. Oh, no, Richard. 00:35:50.860 --> 00:35:55.840 But how did April really die? I wasn't asking 00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:59.119 that. You don't have to. Half the world is speculated 00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:04.579 on that. Her mother thought I killed her. I still 00:36:04.579 --> 00:36:07.940 think so. Couldn't Cheetah and Juan know it was 00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:14.320 an accident? Lisa? Lisa has her own theory. Something 00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.820 to do with Apol's star complex and the wild winds 00:36:17.820 --> 00:36:21.360 that sometimes blow across the headlands. And 00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:36.719 you? I think she committed suicide. Buenos dias, 00:36:36.820 --> 00:36:40.679 conchita. Buenos dias, senor. You can serve breakfast 00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:44.980 for all of us and... Where's Juan? In the south 00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:47.800 garden. Will you tell my wife when she comes 00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:54.440 down where I am? Si, senor. Patron? Yes? Will 00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:58.000 you close up the house? If I'm going to save 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.300 my new marriage, I think I must. I'm not going 00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:07.420 to argue the facts. But it's quite... clear that 00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:12.059 Jenny doesn't fit here. I'll have some juice 00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:16.300 and coffee, Conchita. Sí, señorita. Oh, and for 00:37:16.300 --> 00:37:19.860 Senora Morgan, too. Sí, señorita. Morning, Jenny. 00:37:20.340 --> 00:37:24.059 Good morning, Lisa. Oh, heavenly day. Breakfast 00:37:24.059 --> 00:37:26.940 is on the way. Where's Richard? Oh, off on the 00:37:26.940 --> 00:37:29.760 ground somewhere. Want to go look for him? I 00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.280 would like to get some air. Well, then let's 00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.960 go. Get you a... Finally get some sleep? Yes. 00:37:38.780 --> 00:37:41.280 Well, with the new day, if you're smart, you'll 00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:42.940 make up your mind to get out of here and have 00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:48.699 Richard all to yourself. But what will you and 00:37:48.699 --> 00:37:52.539 Contita and Juan and Mrs... Isn't that terrible? 00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:56.260 I don't even know April's mother's name. Oh, 00:37:56.440 --> 00:38:00.480 what will all of you do? Oh, life goes on. We'll 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.110 manage and adjust. We might even be able to do 00:38:04.110 --> 00:38:07.409 it here in time. Oh, no, Lisa. I never could. 00:38:07.670 --> 00:38:10.269 This isn't my place. It's April's. It wasn't 00:38:10.269 --> 00:38:13.530 hers, either. But I thought it was originally 00:38:13.530 --> 00:38:15.989 her family's. That's why her mother is dead. 00:38:15.989 --> 00:38:19.489 It was a run -down, no -account mess. The stucco 00:38:19.489 --> 00:38:21.969 peeling, the plumbing, antediluvian, the gardens, 00:38:22.190 --> 00:38:25.409 the shambles. Ritchie cured all that. He's marvelous 00:38:25.409 --> 00:38:28.329 with his hands. His imagination knows no bounds. 00:38:29.030 --> 00:38:32.119 You may be what it is. It's all his. I can appreciate 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.000 that, Lisa, and I know how beautiful it is, but 00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:38.980 it's dark and sinister to me. Nothing will ever 00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:42.079 change that. I remember that first evening when 00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:45.539 you took me to Seventh Heaven. Yes. That was 00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:49.820 the mark of what was wrong here. Such free, wild 00:38:49.820 --> 00:38:55.460 beauty, but somehow it was evil. Oh Jenny, that's 00:38:55.460 --> 00:38:58.760 not fair. You went by moonlight. You knew a tragedy 00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:02.019 had occurred there, but Seventh Heaven is just 00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:05.179 what its name implies. Especially on a day like 00:39:05.179 --> 00:39:09.719 today with no wind and the sun riding high. Come 00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:14.519 on. Let me show you. No thanks. Jenny, you hold 00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:18.099 a lot of fates in your hand. Among them mine. 00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.900 I don't want to leave here. Give me a chance 00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:26.780 to show you cobwebs cleared away. It's not such 00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:36.199 a bad place to live. Conchita? Si, senor. Where's 00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:39.139 the senorita? They went out in the garden, towards 00:39:39.139 --> 00:39:44.260 the water. They? Your sister and your wife. Didn't 00:39:44.260 --> 00:39:47.800 they know breakfast was ready? I think. But the 00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:50.119 senorita Morgan seemed to want to take the senora 00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:54.730 to the water. I should not say this, but I have 00:39:54.730 --> 00:39:59.550 a sensation. You should go quickly after them. 00:40:06.829 --> 00:40:10.409 I really don't know why you insisted on me coming 00:40:10.409 --> 00:40:13.550 up here. I won't change my mind, Lisa. Even now, 00:40:13.570 --> 00:40:16.429 looking out here at that incredible view? I told 00:40:16.429 --> 00:40:19.050 you, I didn't like heights. You know, Jenny, 00:40:20.409 --> 00:40:25.219 you're a little person. With no stature. Well, 00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:28.099 I wouldn't quite agree... Like April, really, 00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:31.119 for all her cheap beauty. She just couldn't measure 00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:33.960 up. And I had to sit by and take the fact that 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.519 she had cheated and stolen Richie away from me. 00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:41.179 What? My brother? Oh, does that shock you? I've 00:40:41.179 --> 00:40:43.300 loved Richie longer and deeper than all of you. 00:40:44.019 --> 00:40:47.500 How much have I gotten in return? Do you have 00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:51.820 any notion how I hated that... smug, superior, 00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:56.199 super -adulated April. Would you be very surprised 00:40:56.199 --> 00:41:00.599 to find out that she didn't fall or stumble or 00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.360 take her life when she blew off here into eternity? 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:11.079 She was hasten, Jenny, pushed, shoved by me, 00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:15.739 just as you're going to be. Why? Even allowing 00:41:15.739 --> 00:41:18.880 for what you confess. How can you hate me? Because 00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:22.130 you are Far worse than April. He really didn't 00:41:22.130 --> 00:41:25.190 love her. They were a team. He was trapped. He 00:41:25.190 --> 00:41:29.489 had to stick with her. But you... Now you're 00:41:29.489 --> 00:41:32.510 different. Because he loves me? Because with 00:41:32.510 --> 00:41:35.570 you, there's no chance for me. There's no chance 00:41:35.570 --> 00:41:37.849 at all. How could there ever be? I don't have 00:41:37.849 --> 00:41:41.130 to share his bed. Only his life. I could have 00:41:41.130 --> 00:41:43.489 been the one to care for him, to console him, 00:41:43.530 --> 00:41:48.559 to love him. Love him, damn you! It'll never 00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:54.260 be you never anyone You can't stand against me 00:41:54.260 --> 00:41:57.460 any more than April could you are going over? 00:42:00.139 --> 00:42:02.679 A marvelous weapon hang on to it if you want 00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:25.139 to take it with you, but you're going What can 00:42:25.139 --> 00:42:34.940 I say? Nothing. Nothing. But your sister. I love 00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:37.860 my sister. Either more or less than my first 00:42:37.860 --> 00:42:44.940 wife. I can't... mourn either one of them. Jenny, 00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:50.079 it's too important to celebrate you. It'll take 00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.780 some time to straighten out my... my affairs, 00:42:52.780 --> 00:42:57.440 but once we do... You and I are going to enjoy 00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:01.800 our private life. You'll still be public property. 00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:07.000 No. My new deal as a director. I'll never act 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:13.800 again. Not even for me? For you. For you I'll 00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:17.920 be whatever you desire. This affair is finally 00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:25.619 beginning. We'll end only the same way. is forever. 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:31.619 I love you forever. That's what I just said. 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:41.420 The walls still stand about Bon Repos, but the 00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:44.699 barbed wire and broken glass are gone from the 00:43:44.699 --> 00:43:49.460 parapets. The gates stand invitingly open, and 00:43:49.460 --> 00:43:53.949 the dogs are gone. In the bright sunshine, the 00:43:53.949 --> 00:43:57.969 dark memories too are fading. And the clean winds 00:43:57.969 --> 00:44:02.210 from the sea have washed away the cobwebs. Once 00:44:02.210 --> 00:44:07.369 again the old house lives up to its name. I'll 00:44:07.369 --> 00:44:24.789 be back shortly. we return full circle to our 00:44:24.789 --> 00:44:27.949 definition of the supernatural as it applies 00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:33.409 to tonight's tale, of or related to ghosts, behavior 00:44:33.409 --> 00:44:37.010 caused by the intervention or by the action of 00:44:37.010 --> 00:44:42.349 a god on earthly affairs. Well, equal standards 00:44:42.349 --> 00:44:46.530 with both ghost and by our modern standards, 00:44:47.409 --> 00:44:52.500 goddess. But her reign is over and So is our 00:44:52.500 --> 00:44:56.320 up -to -date fable of Richard and Jenny. Our 00:44:56.320 --> 00:45:00.380 cast included Ruby Dee, Michael Wager, Terry 00:45:00.380 --> 00:45:05.000 Keen, Bryna Rayburn, and Ian Martin. The entire 00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.639 production was under the direction of Hyman Brown. 00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:15.099 And now, a preview of our next tale. I told you 00:45:15.099 --> 00:45:17.980 I burned it. And you know that's a fairy tale 00:45:17.980 --> 00:45:19.719 that no one will believe.
