WEBVTT 00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:26.280 I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome to the terrifying 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:32.020 world of your imagination. My story explores 00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:36.719 the dark uncharted area of the human brain. Despite 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.619 medical research, scientists admit that there 00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:42.640 is much that is still unknown about the flesh 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.780 -and -blood computer which guides our conscious 00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:50.000 and unconscious lives. Let us listen as Colonel 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.020 Edmund Plant of the CMI warns Dr. Gentry what 00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:57.780 dangers exist when we attempt to control this 00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:01.119 complicated human mechanism. Let me explain, 00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:04.340 doctor. Your patient, Kent Hatcher here, may 00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:08.319 be a time bomb. We have no idea what was done 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.780 to him, but we do know from other cases what 00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.760 to expect. You mean brainwash? Perhaps. It's 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.959 very likely Kent may have been subjected to deep 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:24.000 and continual hypnosis. His mind washed as clean 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.519 as a sheet of white paper, then programmed to 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.840 commit some terrible act against his own people. 00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:44.370 Our mystery drama, Prognosis Negative, was written 00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:46.590 especially for the Mystery Theatre by Sidney 00:01:46.590 --> 00:01:52.049 Sloan and stars William Redfield and Bryna Rayburn. 00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:06.829 Colonel Edmund Plant was on an unpleasant errand. 00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:10.340 As he walked into the big dirty gray building, 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.919 the military hospital for the insane known to 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.199 the brass as the pit, he could think of many 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.780 places he'd rather be. But this was a duty he 00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:24.539 had to perform, part of his job. And he wanted 00:02:24.539 --> 00:02:27.219 to get it over with as fast as possible. I hope 00:02:27.219 --> 00:02:29.460 this won't take too long, Dr. Gentry. No, no, 00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:31.620 not too long, Colonel Plant. All we need is your 00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:34.740 official identification. We've been able to identify 00:02:34.740 --> 00:02:37.159 him from his fingerprints, but the official rules 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.139 call for your observation and signature. I know, 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.939 I know. Right this way. We've got him in a private 00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:46.979 room because of his condition. Here. Here we 00:02:46.979 --> 00:02:51.080 are. Step inside, please. I'll, uh, I'll speak 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.349 to him. I... Don't know if he'll respond. Kent, 00:02:56.830 --> 00:03:03.629 can you hear me? Colonel Plant, your commanding 00:03:03.629 --> 00:03:07.449 officer, is here to see you. You want to talk 00:03:07.449 --> 00:03:15.069 to him? Six, five, three, listen to me, listen 00:03:15.069 --> 00:03:17.669 to me. What does that mean? Well, we don't know. 00:03:17.689 --> 00:03:19.629 That's the only response we've been able to get 00:03:19.629 --> 00:03:26.620 from him. Kent, do you remember me? Kent? See, 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.800 look at his eyes. No focus. He doesn't hear you. 00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:33.860 He's in a world of his own. Kent Hatcher disappeared 00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:36.840 on a mission behind enemy lines eight years ago. 00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:40.300 Two months ago, he showed up in a prisoner exchange. 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.449 We had believed him dead in action. After seven 00:03:44.449 --> 00:03:46.650 years, he was declared officially dead. Well, 00:03:46.650 --> 00:03:49.909 does he have any relatives? A wife? Yeah, he 00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:53.409 had a wife. She's remarried. Moved away. Left 00:03:53.409 --> 00:03:56.250 the state, I believe. Anyone else, Colonel? No. 00:03:57.090 --> 00:04:01.469 So, here he is. Mindless, mutilated, tortured. 00:04:02.490 --> 00:04:06.310 No relatives, no friends. And his superiors embarrassed 00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:09.289 or annoyed that he's still alive. I did not make 00:04:09.289 --> 00:04:11.849 the rules, nor did I persuade Kent Hatcher to 00:04:11.849 --> 00:04:14.500 take the mission. It was purely voluntary. I 00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:17.360 know, I know. Well, what do we do now? Of course, 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.779 we will do our best to bring him back. Mentally 00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:22.100 and physically? Both, if possible, but it is 00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:24.399 doubtful he has an overstrained heart condition. 00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:27.920 It's quite serious. So permanent physical recovery 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.420 is doubtful. Perhaps it's all for the good. You 00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:36.240 would rather that he die? Let me explain. Kent 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.040 Hatcher may be a time bomb. We have no idea what 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.639 was done to him. but we do know from other cases 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.220 what to expect. You mean brainwash? Perhaps. 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.040 It's very likely Kent may have been subjected 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.459 to deep and continual hypnosis, his mind washed 00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:55.079 as clean as a sheet of white paper, and then 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.899 programmed to commit some terrible act against 00:04:57.899 --> 00:05:03.199 his own people. Six, five, three, listen to me. 00:05:04.069 --> 00:05:08.110 Listen to me. Doctor, I want this man kept under 00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:11.470 surveillance day and night. We cannot take any 00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:21.610 chances. CMI, Colonel Plant here. Oh, Colonel, 00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:25.629 this is Dr. Gentry, Paul Gentry. Uh, yes? Remember 00:05:25.629 --> 00:05:27.589 we were talking just last week about the case 00:05:27.589 --> 00:05:30.790 of Kent Hatcher, one of your agents? Oh, where's 00:05:30.790 --> 00:05:42.160 that? Well, yes, yes. On what do you base your 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.439 findings? Well, he's been under intense treatment 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.839 and has begun to respond very rapidly. He's mild 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.959 and cooperative. He's almost childlike. I see. 00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:53.480 I've reduced the guard to one eight -hour shift 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.300 midnight to eight in the morning, and at all 00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:57.560 other times he is constantly in the hands of 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.480 our nurses and therapists and other personnel. 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.600 Well, you are something of a gambler, Doctor. 00:06:04.339 --> 00:06:07.819 A gambler? Taking that kind of a risk. No, no, 00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:11.370 no, no. I don't think so. Doctor. Has it occurred 00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:14.569 to you that this entire mild convalescence may 00:06:14.569 --> 00:06:16.949 have been programmed into the mind of this man 00:06:16.949 --> 00:06:19.449 to throw you off guard? Oh, nonsense. I know 00:06:19.449 --> 00:06:23.610 a harmless man when I see one. To leave him unguarded 00:06:23.610 --> 00:06:26.449 is taking chances with the lives of many people. 00:06:26.889 --> 00:06:28.930 Heaven only knows what has been fed into his 00:06:28.930 --> 00:06:37.810 receptive and willing mind. You know your name 00:06:37.810 --> 00:06:41.259 is Kent, don't you? Yes, doctor. Do you know 00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:46.500 your full name? Can you remember? Yes. Kent Hatcher. 00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:49.519 Very good, very good. Now, how do you know that 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.540 is your name? You told me. You had a life before 00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:56.839 you were brought here. You were married. Can 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.360 you remember that? No, doctor. You had a daughter, 00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:05.899 Mary. She was very ill. I don't remember. You 00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:09.959 loved her very much. When she died, You were 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:15.620 heartbroken. Heartbroken? You don't recall anything? 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:22.220 No. Oh, doctor, I just wanted to remind you, 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.319 you have a lecture today at the university. Oh, 00:07:24.339 --> 00:07:26.160 yes, yes, yes. That's right. Thank you, Evelyn. 00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:28.740 Look, I'm working with Hatcher. You know the 00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:31.360 case? I should know it. I've been transcribing 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.120 all your notes. Well, I'm in the midst of giving 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.579 him a series of perception tests. All very simple, 00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:37.920 just a matter of timing them. Yes, I know them. 00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:39.839 You think you could finish them while I'm at 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:45.199 the university? Well, yes, I guess I could, but... 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.319 What? I'm just a bit afraid of him. I was in 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.160 the office the last time you spoke with Colonel 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.480 Plant. Now look, if you don't want the assignment, 00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:56.720 I'll just give... No, no, no, I want it. As long 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.399 as you say he's... Well, okay. Good, good. I'll 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:09.180 expect you in ten minutes. Excellent, Mr. Hatcher. 00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:11.959 Excellent. Well, I'll have a good report for 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.439 Dr. Gentry. Now, suppose we put all the equipment, 00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:20.360 the puzzles and the cards, back into their proper 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.060 boxes. Proper boxes? The boxes they came in. 00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:29.319 You understand, don't you? I understand. I think 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.940 you understand more than you pretend. Are you 00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:38.299 pretending? No. No. No! Don't get upset. I'm 00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:41.240 sorry if I hurt your feelings. Six, five, three. 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.019 Listen to me. Listen to me. Please, sit down. 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.200 We have more to do, more games to play. Please. 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.039 Now. Now. Stay back. Stay back. Please, don't 00:08:53.039 --> 00:09:07.000 hurt me. Please. Six, five, three. Listen. to 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:18.419 me. Listen to me. I am grateful to the officials 00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:21.179 who have given me this air time to explain a 00:09:21.179 --> 00:09:24.399 very serious matter. I am or was Ken Hatcher's 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.059 doctor, and I must add my warning to the hundreds 00:09:27.059 --> 00:09:29.019 of others who have read in your newspapers and 00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:31.860 heard over the air. Ken Hatcher is dangerous, 00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:35.860 frighteningly Dangerous. Do not, under any circumstances, 00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:39.259 attempt to apprehend him yourself. Call the special 00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:41.059 numbers that have been set up for this purpose. 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.279 Do not let his mild manner deceive you. He is 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.580 a killer who will act without even the slightest 00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:49.820 provocation. The police have orders to shoot 00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:58.279 on sight. Morning, mister. What can I do for 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.480 you? You want to buy a $200 coat for you, 18? 00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:07.549 I... I want some clothes.

And where did you pick up 00:10:13.389 --> 00:10:17.330 that raincoat? At the auto -mat? Give me clothes. 00:10:17.629 --> 00:10:20.389 Sure. Sure, mister.

And then 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.159 call me, right? Okay. I'll see you in a minute. 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.320 What was that number I seen in the paper? Where 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:59.259 is it? Where is it? Here. Here. Hello? Hello, 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.200 listen. He's right in my store. I recognize him 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.139 in a picture, in a paper. Also, I've seen it 00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:06.019 four times on the news. I don't know how long 00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:21.940 I could get... Six, five, three. Listen to me. 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:33.230 Listen to me. Now, the way I see it, Archie, 00:11:33.330 --> 00:11:35.529 the old girl's prime for the taking right now, 00:11:35.730 --> 00:11:38.210 with the right approach. It's the booze talking, 00:11:38.409 --> 00:11:40.710 Freddy girl. You ain't got a cent out of you, 00:11:40.769 --> 00:11:43.129 Mrs. Mulberry. And you ain't gonna because you 00:11:43.129 --> 00:11:46.570 ain't sharp enough to convince her. Look, Archie, 00:11:46.850 --> 00:11:49.809 you gotta work these big jobs slow. You rush 00:11:49.809 --> 00:11:53.509 them, you end up with an empty hand. Look, Freddy... 00:11:53.230 --> 00:11:56.409 That old tea leaves bid and the table -knocking 00:11:56.409 --> 00:11:58.870 routine ain't gonna fool no one, not even your 00:11:58.870 --> 00:12:01.330 stupid Mrs. Mulberry, who wants to get in touch 00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:05.049 with the spirit of her dear dead departed. Hey, 00:12:05.250 --> 00:12:06.830 take the bottle and get in the other room. Might 00:12:06.830 --> 00:12:09.450 be a customer for a reading. This hour, 11 .45? 00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:11.610 Yeah, it's probably some drunk. All the better. 00:12:11.629 --> 00:12:14.309 They give bigger fees and no complaints. Now, 00:12:14.370 --> 00:12:15.909 get out! All right, all right. I'll be sitting 00:12:15.909 --> 00:12:23.230 behind the curtain in the kitchen. Yes? Oh, step 00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:26.529 inside, friend, and let Frederica Gillis solve 00:12:26.529 --> 00:12:32.370 your problems. You have... Yes, yes. Oh, look, 00:12:32.789 --> 00:12:39.049 step inside, please. That's better. Now, what's 00:12:39.049 --> 00:12:42.070 troubling you, friend? Money matters, domestic 00:12:42.070 --> 00:12:45.899 difficulties, fear of the future... There. There's 00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:49.440 a sign in your window. Spiritual reader, forecaster 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.139 of the future, palms red, two leaves. No, no, 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.500 not that. Not what? The sign. The sign, room 00:12:56.500 --> 00:13:00.220 to rent. Oh, that. Well, that's a mistake, mister. 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.480 We had our room vacant, but we really don't have 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.720 it. I took that room three months ago. I'm the 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.299 larger here. There ain't no more room. But the 00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:10.360 sign is still in the window. It's just a mistake. 00:13:10.419 --> 00:13:14.610 It should have been taken down. No room? No room, 00:13:14.610 --> 00:13:21.230 chum. So, this way out. Wait. Maybe we have got 00:13:21.230 --> 00:13:26.309 a room for this gentleman. What? Freddie, have 00:13:26.309 --> 00:13:28.509 you got... Top floor. Sort of an attic room, 00:13:28.590 --> 00:13:31.389 if you don't mind the climb. What? Wait a minute, 00:13:31.389 --> 00:13:33.289 you can't give him that room. Now, I've got all 00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:35.490 the photographic equipment in there. Well, you'd 00:13:35.490 --> 00:13:36.990 better clear it out, because I've just rented 00:13:36.990 --> 00:13:40.429 the room to this here nice gentleman. You want 00:13:40.429 --> 00:13:43.230 to take a look at it, sir? I'll take it. Without 00:13:43.230 --> 00:13:46.070 even looking at it? I think you better go up 00:13:46.070 --> 00:13:48.610 and then decide. I want to be fair about it. 00:13:48.870 --> 00:13:51.230 Right up them stairs, top floor, first door on 00:13:51.230 --> 00:13:54.250 the left. Well, I don't need to look. Now, do 00:13:54.250 --> 00:13:58.470 as you're told. Go upstairs. Yes, yes, I'll go. 00:13:58.690 --> 00:14:05.389 I'll do as you say. What is the crazy idea of 00:14:05.389 --> 00:14:07.370 that? Now, what do you want him around here for? 00:14:07.470 --> 00:14:11.090 For a very definite reason. I recognized him 00:14:11.090 --> 00:14:15.149 immediately. You did? Well, who is he? He's Kent 00:14:15.149 --> 00:14:17.970 Hatcher, the man the entire country is searching 00:14:17.970 --> 00:14:21.309 for. That one? Then don't let him in. Put down 00:14:21.309 --> 00:14:25.070 that phone, you fool. Put it down. Now, this 00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:28.710 guy Hatcher is gonna be the one thing we need 00:14:28.710 --> 00:14:32.129 to pull off that caper with Mrs. Mowbray. This 00:14:32.129 --> 00:14:40.000 is the biggest piece of luck we've had. Frederica 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.539 Gillis in her own canny way recognized more than 00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:47.779 just the features of the hunted man. She knew 00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:50.940 intuitively that he was susceptible to hypnosis 00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:54.340 and made up her mind to use this susceptibility 00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:58.740 to further her own nefarious plans. I'll be back 00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:15.299 shortly with act two. Several days have passed 00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:18.720 since Kent Hatcher, the hunted man, found refuge 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.940 with Frederica Gillis and her accomplice Archie. 00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:24.980 She has not permitted him to leave the house 00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:29.139 and, in fact, has been working to disguise his 00:15:29.139 --> 00:15:34.460 much publicized scarred face. That you, Archie? 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.720 Right, Freddy girl. Come out here in the kitchen. 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:45.519 I want you to see something. Coming. Well Archie, 00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:49.879 how do you like him good? What a change you made 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.500 in his appearance You've even given him a new 00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:55.120 hairdo. Yeah looks a lot different with the die 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.279 job Takes years off his age blacken it up like 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.960 that wait till his beard grows out. That'll cover 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:06.960 most of the scars. It's terrific Well Kent, how 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.899 do you like your new look? I like it Thank you 00:16:11.870 --> 00:16:15.350 Only his name is not Kent, Archie. That had to 00:16:15.350 --> 00:16:20.210 be changed. His name is Mazumodar. What? He's 00:16:20.210 --> 00:16:24.389 gonna be Mazumodar, the Indian mystic. He'll 00:16:24.389 --> 00:16:26.370 darken his face, let his beard grow out, and 00:16:26.370 --> 00:16:28.690 then, with a fancy, uh, what do you call them, 00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:30.250 things they wrap around their heads? Turban. 00:16:30.269 --> 00:16:33.730 Turban, turban, that's it. How can't you just 00:16:33.730 --> 00:16:35.990 see him in a rich -looking robe with a turban 00:16:35.990 --> 00:16:37.990 on his head? Now, wait, well, what's on your 00:16:37.990 --> 00:16:40.429 mind, Freddy girl? Oh, you're not very quick, 00:16:40.490 --> 00:16:45.830 Archie. Now look, what I have in mind is... Mazou 00:16:45.830 --> 00:16:52.590 Modar, Mazou Modar, do you hear me? I hear you. 00:16:52.929 --> 00:16:59.529 What is your name? Tell me your name. I am Mazou 00:16:59.529 --> 00:17:04.869 Modar. Now, I want you to go to your room and 00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:09.680 you are to stay there until I call you. Repeat 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.880 what I have told you. Go to my room and stay 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:20.920 until you call me. Now go. I go to my room and 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.339 stay. That's amazing. It's a man. He's behaving 00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:26.900 like a little lamb. Oh, I could sense right from 00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:28.500 the moment I laid eyes on him that he was an 00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:32.220 easy subject. We're gonna give Mrs. Mowbray the 00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:34.339 greatest spirit show she's ever seen in her life. 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.660 She'll hand us her money in a bushel basket. 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.759 Everything ready, Archie? Yeah, I think so. Let's 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:54.319 run over the list. Wind effect, whistling sound, 00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:58.920 eerie music. Okay, but not too much. When she 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.519 does get in touch with her dear departed Kenneth, 00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:04.769 what's she gonna ask him? And what's our phony 00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:08.049 medium Kent going to reply? Mazumotor. Remember 00:18:08.049 --> 00:18:10.650 that. Okay, Mazumotor. What's he going to say? 00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:13.930 You can't guess what the old gal might ask when 00:18:13.930 --> 00:18:15.950 the seance starts. Look, I've been working with 00:18:15.950 --> 00:18:18.609 him all week. The going gets too rough for him 00:18:18.609 --> 00:18:20.710 and he can't give a good answer. I'll just break 00:18:20.710 --> 00:18:23.950 things up. Stop the seance. Say that the contact 00:18:23.950 --> 00:18:27.349 with the spirit world is broken. Okay. What time 00:18:27.349 --> 00:18:30.309 is she coming? I told her eight o 'clock. Well, 00:18:30.450 --> 00:18:33.470 now... Just to get things straight, now I'll 00:18:33.470 --> 00:18:35.970 be in the kitchen. All the sound effects will 00:18:35.970 --> 00:18:38.289 be piped into here where the seance is taking 00:18:38.289 --> 00:18:41.130 place, right? Right. And when I want the sound 00:18:41.130 --> 00:18:46.910 out, I'll say, Mazou Modar, do you feel a presence 00:18:46.910 --> 00:18:51.289 in this room? And I fade sound out and Mazou 00:18:51.289 --> 00:18:54.250 Modar takes over. That's all there is to it. 00:18:54.730 --> 00:18:56.690 And Mrs. Mowbray will be here in 30 minutes. 00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:09.000 Mrs. Mowbray, this is the great Mazou Modar. 00:19:09.339 --> 00:19:13.880 Oh, does he speak English? Oh, yes. I've asked 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.900 him to conduct the séance in English. He's agreed, 00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:20.960 though he'd rather do it in his own language. 00:19:21.099 --> 00:19:25.200 Oh, I understand. Thank him for me. If he is 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.700 able to reach out into the great void and bring 00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:32.430 my son, my dear son Kenneth, back to me. Even 00:19:32.430 --> 00:19:36.470 for an inst. Mazou Moda will do his best. I told 00:19:36.470 --> 00:19:39.910 him of your great sorrow when he was sympathetic. 00:19:40.549 --> 00:19:44.529 Weren't you all seeing one? I am sympathetic 00:19:44.529 --> 00:19:48.470 to the sorrows of a grieving mother. Oh, oh, 00:19:48.670 --> 00:19:52.549 bless you. Bless you. Please help me. Let us 00:19:52.549 --> 00:19:56.130 begin. Sit here at this table, Mrs. Mowbray. 00:19:56.170 --> 00:20:00.369 Yes. You there. Yes. I will sit opposite you. 00:20:00.970 --> 00:20:05.089 The great Mazumoda will sit between us. Yes. 00:20:05.730 --> 00:20:13.150 Let the seance begin. What is it? What is the 00:20:13.150 --> 00:20:17.069 matter? Silence. Mazumoda must reach out into 00:20:17.069 --> 00:20:20.809 the spirit world. He is entering his trance. 00:20:21.529 --> 00:20:30.190 I call to you. I order you to come. Spirits obey 00:20:30.190 --> 00:20:41.250 the... Command of Mazumoda! Do you feel a presence 00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:47.509 all seeing one? There is one here who demands 00:20:47.509 --> 00:20:54.630 to speak. Then let him speak. Mother? Mother, 00:20:54.869 --> 00:20:59.849 where are you? It's Kenneth. He's calling to 00:20:59.849 --> 00:21:06.700 me. You may speak to him. Kenneth, darling, I 00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:12.720 miss you terribly. Are you happy? I am happy, 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:18.220 Mother. Oh, I feel so alone, darling. I want 00:21:18.220 --> 00:21:22.240 you with me always. I have felt your presence 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.819 near me. I have been with you from the moment 00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:31.579 of my death. It has... It's been difficult reaching 00:21:31.579 --> 00:21:37.039 you. Difficult to let you hear my voice. Now 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:42.720 you are being helped by kind and gentle people. 00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:48.279 Be good to them, Mother. Without them, our thin 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:53.779 thread of contact will dissolve. I will return 00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:58.880 to you and we will talk again. I will return. 00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:04.359 Why has he gone? Call him back, call him back, 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.740 I beg you. Mazumoda, I will give you anything 00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:10.519 you want, but please let me speak to him again. 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:13.619 Now stop that. You want to ruin everything? Stop, 00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:18.500 I say. The seance is at an end. Oh, please, please. 00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:23.240 Ask Mazumoda to forgive me my outburst. Mazumoda 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.240 understands, Mrs. Mowbray. Oh, I hope he does. 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.819 When may I come again? I will call you after 00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:35.759 I consult with him. I... I want to... I don't 00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:38.279 quite know how to say this, but can I give him 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.619 something? I mean, will he accept? The all -seeing 00:22:42.619 --> 00:22:46.259 one is a holy man and may not accept money. It 00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:49.759 is unclean. Oh, well, in that case... But he 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:55.779 must live and I must live. That is, I will accept 00:22:55.779 --> 00:23:03.009 for him. Oh, yes, yes. Of course. Here. You are 00:23:03.009 --> 00:23:06.490 a good person, Mrs. Gillis. I am so lucky to 00:23:06.490 --> 00:23:10.849 have found you. Goodbye. Thank you again. And 00:23:10.849 --> 00:23:19.069 please, call me soon. Soon. Goodbye. Archie? 00:23:20.690 --> 00:23:24.279 She's gone, finally, huh? You didn't let the 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.920 seance go too long, did you? Just long enough 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:31.019 to make a want more. It was a complete success. 00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:34.380 Mazumotor was perfect. She loosened up the purse 00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:36.740 strings a wee bit too, didn't she? I heard her 00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:40.440 say something about money. Here, 500. Take your 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:46.099 cut. 500? Better than I thought. Peanuts. That's 00:23:46.099 --> 00:23:48.059 just a down payment on what she's gonna give 00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:52.059 us, beg us to take. You got something big on 00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:56.539 your mind? Yeah. Next time, she's not gonna be 00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:58.700 taken in quite so much by the atmosphere of the 00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:01.759 seance. She wants something more definite, more 00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:05.019 tangible. Well, we got all that info. We collected 00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:06.980 from the army files about her son. You know, 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.059 flyers shot down. Body never recovered. final 00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:13.279 report of his burial in enemy territory. Oh, 00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:14.880 nothing in that stuff will have any influence 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.079 on her. Just take a look at this snapshot, taken 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.660 with his buddies overseas. Take a good look at 00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:24.980 it. All right. What's so important about this 00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:28.619 photo? Look at his right wrist. What do you see? 00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:33.460 Here, use this magnifying glass. Here. Looks 00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:35.880 like he's wearing one of them identity bracelets 00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:37.819 this guy's wore at the time, you know, especially 00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:41.210 the flyers. That's correct. It was specially 00:24:41.210 --> 00:24:44.250 made for him, she told me, by a fancy jeweler. 00:24:44.809 --> 00:24:47.329 At the time of his death, it was destroyed or 00:24:47.329 --> 00:24:51.650 stolen. She never got it back. So what? We are 00:24:51.650 --> 00:24:54.730 going to reproduce that bracelet. And at the 00:24:54.730 --> 00:24:59.789 next seance, Mazumodar will ask the dear departed 00:24:59.789 --> 00:25:02.859 Kenneth for some... Proof that he is really Mrs. 00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:06.779 Mowbray's son. And then old Mazumi will drop 00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:09.539 the identity bracelet right into Mrs. Mowbray's 00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:12.839 sweating hands. Oh, that's great. That's really 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.980 a great idea, Frederica girl. Now look, you take 00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:18.119 this photo and blow it up as large as you can. 00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:20.559 And then blow up the portion that takes in the 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:24.059 right wrist. Yeah, then blow that up again. Then 00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:26.660 get all the details, huh? And then we find a 00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:29.420 jeweler who can reproduce the identification 00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:34.079 bracelet exactly. What do you think that'll be 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:47.000 worth to the rich Mrs. Mowbray? How about I open 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:50.500 up, Ken? Would you be a good guy? Good guy now 00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:54.220 open up the door, huh? Look, I've got to get 00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:56.339 in there, Kent, and I've got all my photographic 00:25:56.339 --> 00:26:02.240 equipment in there. Well, thanks, old man. Hey, 00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:05.259 I'm sorry if I disturbed you. It won't take me 00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:09.180 a minute. No. No. No. Wait a minute, Kent. No. 00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:11.980 Whatever your name. Now listen. No. Stop. Stop. 00:26:12.059 --> 00:26:13.839 Now don't look at me like that. No. Federica! 00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:17.900 Federica, help! Six. No. Five. No. Three. Stop. 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:30.559 Listen to me. Stop. Federica! Help! You hear 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.799 me and you obey. Tell me that you hear me. I 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:43.079 hear you. Well, now go back into your room and 00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:47.339 stay there until I order you to leave. Repeat 00:26:47.339 --> 00:26:55.480 what I have said. Go back to my room. Stay there. 00:26:55.599 --> 00:27:02.079 Until I order you to leave. Until you order me 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:11.920 to leave. Feeling better, Archie? Well, my throat 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.039 feels like a horse stepped on it or something. 00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:18.279 We're playing with dynamite. The best thing we 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.059 can do is turn him in before we all wake up dead 00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:23.779 some morning. Yeah, wait till we make the big 00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:27.500 caper to the next seance. and we're able to drop 00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:30.619 the identification bracelet into the center of 00:27:30.619 --> 00:27:34.200 the table. Can we take the chance? Can we wait 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.200 that long? Look, just go to work. Take your pictures. 00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.380 How long will it take to have the bracelet made? 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:40.880 Well, I know a guy who does great work. Good. 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.180 Can you get to him? This is just a telephone 00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:45.099 call away. He owes me a couple of favors. Well, 00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:47.220 call him and then start working with your camera. 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.839 I got all your equipment out of Mazumoda's room. 00:27:58.339 --> 00:28:02.779 Yeah Feast your eyes on that. Oh The bracelet 00:28:02.779 --> 00:28:05.539 you got it told you the jeweler was a friend 00:28:05.539 --> 00:28:07.880 did it in two days now, ain't it? Beautiful. 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.359 Oh, let me see the photo. No the blow -up you 00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.319 made. Yeah spitting image Perfect looks like 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.579 the original. Yeah Look how he made it look as 00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:20.940 though it had been in a fire Marbury went down 00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:23.599 in flames, you know, yeah. Oh good touch makes 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.490 it look authentic Look, I'll call Mrs. Mowbray 00:28:26.490 --> 00:28:29.069 and set up the seance as soon as possible. Hey, 00:28:29.269 --> 00:28:31.190 listen, there's one little fly in the ointment, 00:28:31.349 --> 00:28:34.390 Freddy girl. What? Maybe we ought to get a new 00:28:34.390 --> 00:28:36.890 medium to run the show, huh? What are you talking 00:28:36.890 --> 00:28:41.049 about? New medium? No, no. We've got to use Mazou 00:28:41.049 --> 00:28:43.789 Moda. We've established him. Well, you've got 00:28:43.789 --> 00:28:48.289 to unestablish him. He's gone. Gone? When? How? 00:28:49.630 --> 00:28:53.160 We'll just have to find him. Come on. He didn't 00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:54.799 have much money, so he couldn't have gone far. 00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:56.920 Well, wouldn't it be better to report the whole 00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.559 thing to the police? And throw away enough money 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:01.220 to keep us in the good things for the rest of 00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:05.180 our life? Are you crazy? But now... No! No buts! 00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:09.119 Mazamodar is the key that will unlock Mrs. Mowbray's 00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.740 bank account. And we're not gonna let that slip 00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:20.700 out of our hands! Kent Hatcher loose in the city 00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:25.180 again. No one to control his homicidal urges. 00:29:26.140 --> 00:29:28.460 His changed appearance would make it difficult 00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:30.980 for the police to recognize and to apprehend 00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:35.900 him. Will they? I'll be back shortly with Act 00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:53.099 3. have gone by since Kent Hatcher broke through 00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:56.400 the bonds of hypnotic suggestion and fled from 00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.819 the house of Frederica Gillis. Mrs. Gillis and 00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:03.680 Archie have been hunting for him for hours. But 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.740 the tortured man wanders through the big city. 00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:12.059 Something urges him onward. Something that he 00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:16.279 cannot define even to himself. Hello. May I speak 00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:20.629 to Carl Shearson, please? This is his wife. Carl 00:30:20.629 --> 00:30:23.529 Alma, I know you don't like me calling the office, 00:30:23.529 --> 00:30:30.670 but I Think I saw him No Carl, I'm sure he's 00:30:30.670 --> 00:30:34.130 changed, but I knew him Yes, I I know I said 00:30:34.130 --> 00:30:39.170 that before but this time He followed me Yes, 00:30:39.170 --> 00:30:41.569 I tried to get away I ran into Fletcher's grocery 00:30:41.569 --> 00:30:43.589 store quickly ordered some groceries and asked 00:30:43.589 --> 00:30:46.529 them to let me slip out the back entrance I Didn't 00:30:46.529 --> 00:30:52.759 see him after that Call the police. No, I couldn't. 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.180 They... They'll kill him. They're searching for 00:30:57.180 --> 00:31:00.119 him and they'll take no chance. Someone at the 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.880 door. Must be my grocery order. I told them to 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.079 send it up. Call me back in a few minutes, Carl. 00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:28.809 Coming. I wanted to talk to you. Alma, don't 00:31:28.809 --> 00:31:34.789 hold the door. I won't hurt you. Come. Come in. 00:31:38.269 --> 00:31:43.630 Alma, I've been following you. At first I didn't 00:31:43.630 --> 00:31:51.549 know why. And then the name Alma kept repeating 00:31:51.549 --> 00:31:56.819 in my head. Then I knew. who Alma was. Do you 00:31:56.819 --> 00:32:03.579 know who I am? Yes. I know you can't. They told 00:32:03.579 --> 00:32:08.640 me you were dead. I was alone all those years. 00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:17.039 I... I'm remarried. Remarried? You were declared 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:21.579 legally dead. Even then I hesitated, but Carl 00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:25.750 insisted that we marry. He's a good man. Kind. 00:32:26.750 --> 00:32:34.809 I need him. He loves me. Our... daughter Mary. 00:32:36.589 --> 00:32:42.769 Dead, isn't she? Pneumonia. The year after you 00:32:42.769 --> 00:32:52.309 disappeared. Dead. Everything... dead... or gone... 00:32:52.309 --> 00:32:59.759 or... Over. Kent, you must go away. Hide. They're 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:03.279 looking for you. They may find you here. All 00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:10.259 over. You know, Alma, I can hardly remember what 00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:15.759 you used to look like. I can hardly remember 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:27.450 my life. There's nothing here in the papers. 00:33:28.390 --> 00:33:31.849 Nothing on the radio or TV. All it says is, fugitive 00:33:31.849 --> 00:33:35.410 killer still at large. Seems he ran into his 00:33:35.410 --> 00:33:38.029 ex -misses and her new husband reported it to 00:33:38.029 --> 00:33:39.990 the police. Well, that means he's still in town. 00:33:40.109 --> 00:33:42.470 I'm worse luck. I wish he'd take off with the 00:33:42.470 --> 00:33:44.930 great open spaces. I hope we never see him again. 00:33:45.289 --> 00:33:48.230 What are you talking about, Archie? We need him. 00:33:48.630 --> 00:33:51.789 I'm hoping he'll come back here. Here? Yeah, 00:33:51.789 --> 00:33:53.829 where else can he go? He hasn't dissent. He knows 00:33:53.829 --> 00:33:57.470 he's safe here. The question is, Freddy, are 00:33:57.470 --> 00:34:01.470 we? I can control him, and we need him. I've 00:34:01.470 --> 00:34:04.089 stalled Mrs. Mowbray twice. I can't keep doing 00:34:04.089 --> 00:34:06.930 it without her losing interest. If he walked 00:34:06.930 --> 00:34:09.349 in that door today, we could schedule the seance 00:34:09.349 --> 00:34:11.889 for tonight, and it... Clear out of here, Archie. 00:34:11.949 --> 00:34:14.030 That's a client wants a reading. Go in the kitchen. 00:34:14.170 --> 00:34:16.289 All right, all right. Call me if you want. Here. 00:34:20.250 --> 00:34:26.269 You! Mazumoda, come in, come in. Archie, come 00:34:26.269 --> 00:34:31.329 here. What is it? What? Why, it's him. He was 00:34:31.329 --> 00:34:35.510 right. He did come back. Mazou Modar, listen 00:34:35.510 --> 00:34:43.429 to me. Listen. You are to go to your room. Go 00:34:43.429 --> 00:34:48.590 to my room? You will change your street clothes 00:34:48.590 --> 00:34:54.670 to Mazou Modar's robe and turban. Do you understand? 00:34:55.969 --> 00:35:03.329 I understand. Now, go to your room. Go, I go 00:35:03.329 --> 00:35:08.630 to my room. It's amazing. That's truly amazing. 00:35:09.349 --> 00:35:11.690 You got him like a monkey on a string. I told 00:35:11.690 --> 00:35:14.730 you I could control him. You gonna pull it off 00:35:14.730 --> 00:35:17.389 tonight? Why should we wait? Soon as we get her 00:35:17.389 --> 00:35:19.210 money, we'll get rid of him and turn him in. 00:35:19.389 --> 00:35:22.300 It's my sentiments exactly. Now, he is too hot 00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:24.719 to handle. As soon as the cops get him, the better. 00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:39.360 Hand me the phone. Mrs. Mowbray, right on time. 00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:43.760 Come in. Come in. Thank you for calling me. I 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.239 began to think that all contact with my son Kenneth 00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.670 was broken. I thought perhaps I had disturbed 00:35:49.670 --> 00:35:53.050 Mazumodar by my outburst. Oh, no, no. Nothing 00:35:53.050 --> 00:35:57.789 like that. But I must tell you, his efforts on 00:35:57.789 --> 00:36:00.550 your behalf have taken their toll of his strength. 00:36:00.889 --> 00:36:05.110 I don't quite understand. Well, every night Mazumodar 00:36:05.110 --> 00:36:08.190 has reached out into the darkness of death to 00:36:08.190 --> 00:36:11.650 touch the spirit of your son. Oh, has he? Has 00:36:11.650 --> 00:36:14.210 he really? The effort has drained his strength. 00:36:14.570 --> 00:36:19.059 He is not well. Oh, then perhaps... It may take 00:36:19.059 --> 00:36:22.260 him months, perhaps years to recuperate, and 00:36:22.260 --> 00:36:25.360 the expenses incurred are very high. I will pay 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:28.820 them anything. Well, I am certain that he will 00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:38.639 be successful tonight. I have been in communion 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:43.480 with the spirit of your son. I have informed 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.400 him that he must appear to you. and must give 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:51.539 you some evidence known only to the two of you 00:36:51.539 --> 00:36:57.480 to prove without any doubt that it is truly he. 00:36:57.900 --> 00:37:01.460 Oh, if he could, if he could. We will begin. 00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:05.539 Sit here at this table, as we did the last time. 00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:10.699 Yes. You there, I across from you, and Masumoda 00:37:10.699 --> 00:37:13.960 sitting between us. Yes. Now, I will dim the 00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:19.880 lights. Let us join hands and complete the mystic 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:30.940 circle. Oh, Masumoda, do you feel a presence? 00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:39.000 I feel there is one here who has traveled a long 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:46.409 way. Do you know him by name? is not simple. 00:37:47.349 --> 00:37:55.730 He is trying. He is trying, trying to... Masumoda, 00:37:56.150 --> 00:38:02.050 are you all right? Can you continue? I can continue. 00:38:02.550 --> 00:38:08.349 I must. The spirit is here in our midst. He wants 00:38:08.349 --> 00:38:15.260 to speak. Let him speak. Mother! Mother! I call 00:38:15.260 --> 00:38:20.380 out to you across the long reaches of infinity. 00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:26.159 Oh, oh, Kenneth. I have spoken several times 00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:30.679 to this holy man who has made it possible to 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.940 be near you. Yes, yes, Kenneth. He has informed 00:38:35.940 --> 00:38:40.480 me that I must give you substantial proof of 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:45.039 my presence here. What should it be? Oh, anything. 00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:51.420 Anything. I believe it is really you. No, I will 00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:55.079 give you proof. Proof of my love for you, dear 00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:00.039 mother. Do you remember your loving gift to me? 00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:06.340 What gift? Shortly before I left to go overseas 00:39:06.340 --> 00:39:14.909 on my last furlough home. The bracelet! The identification 00:39:14.909 --> 00:39:18.809 bracelet! Yes, but... It was never found, never 00:39:18.809 --> 00:39:21.909 returned to me. I wanted that more than anything 00:39:21.909 --> 00:39:26.909 else. I knew that and I return it to you now! 00:39:29.929 --> 00:39:37.309 It's him! His bracelet! Oh, my son! My son! Lights! 00:39:37.550 --> 00:39:41.389 Let us turn on the lights! The seance is over! 00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:54.059 Could you've all... all been to me to bring back 00:39:54.059 --> 00:39:59.000 this bracelet? Oh, this is all I have left of 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:05.320 him. Oh, thank you, Masumoto. How can I ever 00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:13.219 adequately thank you? I am sympathetic to the 00:40:13.219 --> 00:40:21.489 grief of a lonely... Mother. Mother Mordor, he's 00:40:21.489 --> 00:40:27.449 fallen. Quick, help me. Help me lift him. Archie, 00:40:27.670 --> 00:40:30.289 Archie, come in here quickly. What is it? What's 00:40:30.289 --> 00:40:32.030 happened? Mother Mordor has fainted. Collapse 00:40:32.030 --> 00:40:34.889 here. Help me. I'll get him under the right arm 00:40:34.889 --> 00:40:39.349 now. And are you getting... Wait a minute. It's 00:40:39.349 --> 00:40:45.349 no use. Just leave him there. Leave him? He's 00:40:45.349 --> 00:41:05.170 dead. Yes, yes, Colonel Plant, I've been expecting 00:41:05.170 --> 00:41:07.389 you. Yes, yes, official identification of the 00:41:07.389 --> 00:41:10.389 body, I know. Well, I don't make the rules. I 00:41:10.389 --> 00:41:12.469 realize that, Doctor. Let's get on with it. I 00:41:12.469 --> 00:41:14.070 have another appointment. Very well, if you'll 00:41:14.070 --> 00:41:22.869 come this way. Get after you, Colonel. We keep 00:41:22.869 --> 00:41:26.449 the bodies here prior to identification. Of course. 00:41:27.170 --> 00:41:32.840 Right this way, please. And here we are, number 00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:39.860 31416. Do you identify this man, Colonel Plant? 00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:43.500 I do. His name was Kent Hatcher. His serial number... 00:41:43.500 --> 00:41:45.440 No, no, that won't be necessary, Colonel. It's 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.760 all here on this form. May I have your signature, 00:41:47.780 --> 00:41:52.320 please? Yes, of course. There you are. Thank 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:54.679 you. Is that all? No, that's all that's required 00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:58.159 officially, Colonel. But do you mind if I ask 00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.199 you a question? Yes, go ahead. That business 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:04.139 with the identification bracelet. Oh, it was 00:42:04.139 --> 00:42:06.860 a fake a reproduction mrs. Gillis accomplice 00:42:06.860 --> 00:42:09.519 Archie had it made from a photograph We got all 00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:11.460 that in their confessions They had made it look 00:42:11.460 --> 00:42:14.280 as though the dead son Kenneth had sent the bracelet 00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:17.639 to his mother from the great beyond Mm -hmm. 00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:19.719 Yes. It's a common trick played by people of 00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:23.179 this type to built naive women However, there 00:42:23.179 --> 00:42:25.599 was one aspect of the matter that has not been 00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:28.659 satisfactorily explained You mean about the inscription 00:42:28.659 --> 00:42:32.159 on the inside of the identification band? To 00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:37.719 my son, forever and ever, mother. Doctor, there 00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:40.980 was no way they could have known what that was, 00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:44.659 or whether there was even an inscription.
