WEBVTT 00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:25.769 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall, opening 00:00:25.769 --> 00:00:29.070 the door to another tale of mystery and suspense, 00:00:29.809 --> 00:00:33.490 inviting you to open your ears and your mind 00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:37.909 to the world of terrifying imagination. You're 00:00:37.909 --> 00:00:41.450 about to be taken on an unusual museum tour. 00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:44.549 There won't be any Mona Lisa's on this tour, 00:00:44.789 --> 00:00:48.409 no Greek vases or Roman statuary. because this 00:00:48.409 --> 00:00:51.850 establishment specializes in only one kind of 00:00:51.850 --> 00:00:55.710 exhibit. And that's why our story is called The 00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:59.210 Murder Museum. You may have been to a murder 00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:02.270 museum like the one in our story, a house of 00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:05.370 wax, where the most brutal crimes of the century 00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:08.430 are recreated and paraffined for the wide -eyed 00:01:08.430 --> 00:01:11.409 enjoyment of the public. But now you're going 00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:14.670 to have the unique opportunity of hearing one 00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:18.019 of the most shocking exhibits of all. speak for 00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:22.239 itself. John, please believe me. He means nothing 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.019 to me. I swear it. That's why he was in your 00:01:25.019 --> 00:01:28.760 bedroom, Arda. Is that why? Please, think of 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.920 our little boy. Look at him since you're frightening 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:53.579 him to death. Death? That's right, Arda. Museum 00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:56.420 was written especially for the Mystery Theater 00:01:56.420 --> 00:02:00.780 by Henry Slesser and stars Michael Wager. It 00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:04.019 is sponsored in part by Anheuser -Busch Incorporated, 00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:07.500 Brewers of Budweiser, and by the Kellogg Company, 00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:11.500 makers of Kellogg's Special K Cereal. I'll be 00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:26.469 back shortly with Act One. begins inside the 00:02:26.469 --> 00:02:30.810 murder museum itself, the home of Professor Rafael 00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:35.310 Gallinari's House of Horrors. There's a fair 00:02:35.310 --> 00:02:39.050 -sized crowd in the museum today. As usual, they 00:02:39.050 --> 00:02:41.569 listen in fascination to the words of their tour 00:02:41.569 --> 00:02:44.770 guide as he takes them from one bloody exhibit 00:02:44.770 --> 00:02:48.490 to another, recreating for them the terrible 00:02:48.490 --> 00:02:51.210 crimes which have immortalized these criminals 00:02:51.210 --> 00:02:55.900 and their victims. There is one person in the 00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:58.879 crowd who seems reluctant to listen to his words, 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.479 who hangs back and shields her pretty eyes from 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.259 the sight of the wax images. Her name is Lisa 00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:10.099 Brandon. To this day, no man knows the true identity 00:03:10.099 --> 00:03:13.280 of the madman known as Jack the Ripper, but the 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.180 theory persists that he may well have been a 00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:19.099 physician or at least a medical student. Judging 00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:21.599 from the skill with which he wielded the instrument, 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.860 UC clutched in this hand as he attacks the terrified 00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:28.960 young woman. And that, ladies and gentlemen, 00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:31.740 concludes the tour of Professor Gallinari's Murder 00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:34.979 Museum. Thank you for your patronage, and please 00:03:34.979 --> 00:03:38.319 tell your friends about us. Sir, excuse me? Yes, 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.199 miss. Could I ask you a question? Yes, yes, of 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.919 course. I was curious about the Raymond exhibit, 00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:47.080 but I see that you haven't opened it to the public. 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.740 No, no, Miss. The Raymond exhibit is still closed 00:03:49.740 --> 00:03:52.240 for repairs. Well, the truth is, it's the only 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.500 reason I came to the murder museum. I wanted 00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:58.120 to see the Raymond. Oh, well, I'm sorry. The 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.000 exhibit won't be open for another week, at least. 00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:02.520 Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going out for some 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.000 coffee. But even if it isn't completely ready, 00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:07.550 I wonder if you'd mind showing it to me. Oh, 00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:09.129 I'm sorry, miss. I can't do that. Oh, I came 00:04:09.129 --> 00:04:11.629 a long way to see you, all the way from San Francisco. 00:04:12.409 --> 00:04:15.110 It would be a terrible disappointment. Look, 00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:19.129 I'm willing to pay you. No, please. Put that 00:04:19.129 --> 00:04:23.250 money away, miss. Why is it so important for 00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:26.550 you to see the Raymond? You, uh, any connection 00:04:26.550 --> 00:04:29.870 with the family? Yes, in a way. I knew Vincent 00:04:29.870 --> 00:04:33.009 Raymond. I met him when he lived in San Francisco. 00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:36.470 I see. Look... You said you were going out for 00:04:36.470 --> 00:04:40.410 coffee. Could I come with you? Well, sure, I 00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:42.889 just go to this little coffee shop down the street, 00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:52.470 but you're welcome to come along. So you knew 00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:56.389 Vincent Raymond? You an artist, too? No, not 00:04:56.389 --> 00:04:59.269 really. But my brother owned a small art gallery 00:04:59.269 --> 00:05:02.470 on Green Street. And sold Raymond's paintings? 00:05:02.850 --> 00:05:05.779 Well, actually, no, he... He didn't really care 00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:09.399 for Vincent's work. It was so dark and gloomy. 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:12.980 Frightening, really. But he felt sorry for him, 00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:15.699 and he loaned him some money, and sometimes he 00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:18.120 let him help out in the gallery. That's how you 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.160 met him? Yes, that's right. I came home from 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.759 college and I met Vincent. I didn't know anything 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.519 about him. Meaning, uh, about his parents? It 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.379 took Vincent a long time before he was willing 00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:44.529 to talk to me. Vincent. Yeah? Isn't that music 00:05:44.529 --> 00:05:49.610 a little loud? Sorry, I'll turn it down. Are 00:05:49.610 --> 00:05:53.350 you angry with me or something? No, why? Why 00:05:53.350 --> 00:05:55.949 should I be? I don't know. You've hardly said 00:05:55.949 --> 00:05:59.149 two words to me tonight. All through dinner, 00:05:59.170 --> 00:06:02.050 we just... I was trying to digest that rotten 00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:04.329 food. Never told me that restaurant was worth 00:06:04.329 --> 00:06:06.970 trying. Must've had a secret death wish. I didn't 00:06:06.970 --> 00:06:09.610 mind it. Had only one thing to recommend it. 00:06:09.649 --> 00:06:13.290 It was cheap. That's the only criterion I have, 00:06:13.490 --> 00:06:17.410 you know? I didn't complain, did I? No, you never 00:06:17.410 --> 00:06:21.009 complain. You just suffer in silence. You think 00:06:21.009 --> 00:06:23.670 I'm some kind of gifted, starving artist who 00:06:23.670 --> 00:06:26.110 has to be tolerated for his poverty. Oh, you're 00:06:26.110 --> 00:06:29.769 so hard on yourself, Vincent. Let me tell you 00:06:29.769 --> 00:06:34.040 something, Lisa. I'm starving. But I'm not an 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.139 artist. Well, let's not talk about it tonight. 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.459 Let's just relax. You know I can't paint. Your 00:06:41.459 --> 00:06:44.439 brother knows it. I fill all my canvases with 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.160 memories of my own nightmares. Only you cannot 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.199 call them art. Vincent, why do you paint in such 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.139 a gloomy style? I've never seen you paint with 00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:59.959 anything that had any color or lightness. All 00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:03.569 those blacks and... grays and slashes of red. 00:07:04.790 --> 00:07:09.350 Oh, I know I'm no sort of expert, but can't you 00:07:09.350 --> 00:07:13.170 talk about your work with me? There's a reason, 00:07:13.470 --> 00:07:17.689 Fort Leza. There's a reason. Well, what? I told 00:07:17.689 --> 00:07:21.430 you my... my nightmares, they're all visions 00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:27.230 in black and gray and slashes of red. Well, then 00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:30.240 if you won't talk about your paintings... Why 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.620 not tell me about your nightmares you wouldn't 00:07:32.620 --> 00:07:39.579 enjoy hearing about them rather but it it I Only 00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:44.160 one Nightmare just one I have it virtually every 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.779 night Sometimes it follows me into the daylight 00:07:47.779 --> 00:07:52.259 I Can close my eyes and there it is For years 00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:56.879 I've tried to destroy it by painting it not its 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:02.759 details just it's colors but the therapy hasn't 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.620 worked please tell me about it i've never told 00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:11.519 anyone before but why not i suppose i never met 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.660 the person i wanted to confide it maybe now i 00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:21.439 have but if i'm going to do that this music has 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:27.879 to stop my mother's maiden name might mean nothing 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.699 to you but at one time many years ago. It was 00:08:31.699 --> 00:08:35.440 famous among people who loved the theater. She 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.840 was an actress. Her name was Ada Crim. Ada Crim? 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:44.940 I think I do know that name, Vincent. She was 00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:47.899 born and raised in England. She was known as 00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:51.360 the beautiful Ada. She didn't have a very long 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.500 acting career because she kept her success on 00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:57.240 the stage with an even more... successful marriage 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.639 she became the bride of John Lloyd Raymond your 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:07.799 father yes my father he was a wealthy man my 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.940 grandfather had left him here to one of the largest 00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:13.460 glass manufacturing companies in the West mirrored 00:09:13.460 --> 00:09:16.659 glass was his specialty it seemed very appropriate 00:09:16.659 --> 00:09:20.340 to have our house full of mirrors maybe that's 00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:23.240 how it all started that problem what problem 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.139 Well, you know, the way mirrors are. At least 00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:29.259 after a few years go by, they stop being kind. 00:09:30.419 --> 00:09:32.279 And when that happened to my mother, she had 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.019 to do something about it. Something to prove 00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:39.779 that she was still a beautiful Ada. No matter 00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:41.759 what the mirrors were beginning to say. And what 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:47.299 did she do, Vincent? She took lovers. Lovers 00:09:47.299 --> 00:09:49.419 are the best kind of mirrors for a bored rich 00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:54.669 woman. Were you the only child? Yeah. I was her 00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:58.549 only child. At first, I was a pampered little 00:09:58.549 --> 00:10:02.169 boy, one of her favorite playthings. Then she 00:10:02.169 --> 00:10:05.029 became bored with me, too. She stopped noticing 00:10:05.029 --> 00:10:08.870 that I was around. Maybe that's why she never 00:10:08.870 --> 00:10:10.789 made any attempts to hide her actions from me. 00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:14.149 She simply didn't know I was there. Vincent, 00:10:15.269 --> 00:10:21.409 you saw these men? I... I think I said enough. 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.419 what Vincent's dream was all about? Not that 00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:37.240 I didn't know. But you could have guessed, I 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.539 suppose, if you knew the history of Ada Crimm 00:10:40.539 --> 00:10:43.720 and John Raymond. Well, yes. I became curious 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.320 enough to learn the history. I had a friend who 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.039 worked in a newspaper, and she checked into the 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.539 dead files and found the story for me, the whole 00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:55.480 terrible story. But I didn't tell Vincent that 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.240 I knew about it. It was obvious that he didn't 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:04.049 want anyone to know the truth. But one day it 00:11:04.049 --> 00:11:07.730 emerged. Oh. Well, it was a beautiful spring 00:11:07.730 --> 00:11:10.470 day, the first really warm day of the season, 00:11:10.929 --> 00:11:18.149 and Vincent and I went for a walk. Vincent, why 00:11:18.149 --> 00:11:21.009 don't we walk down to Deeradilly Square? We could 00:11:21.009 --> 00:11:23.490 do some window shopping, maybe have some lunch. 00:11:23.950 --> 00:11:25.970 Considering the state of my finances, we'd better 00:11:25.970 --> 00:11:28.070 window shop the restaurants, too. Oh, no, I have 00:11:28.070 --> 00:11:31.409 money. Good for you. Are you going to be stubborn 00:11:31.409 --> 00:11:34.730 again? I'll tell you what, Vincent. I'll buy 00:11:34.730 --> 00:11:37.009 myself some lunch if you want to split a hamburger 00:11:37.009 --> 00:11:42.210 with me. You need a lesson on how to get away 00:11:42.210 --> 00:12:12.480 from her! Crazy. Why? What made you do it, Vincent? 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.500 You could have killed that man. I couldn't stop 00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:16.100 myself when I saw what he was doing and what 00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:18.259 he was going to do. But they were man and wife. 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:23.299 Yeah. Man and wife. So were my parents. Was that 00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:27.080 the reason? Was it because... you saw your mother 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.460 and father, Paul? You think that's all they did? 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:35.159 Don't you know the truth yet? Yes, Vincent, I 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.419 do know. I didn't want to tell you before, but... 00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:41.899 I know that you're a... father murdered your 00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:46.159 mother and you know how he murdered her my father 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.740 came home early one night a full day earlier 00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:51.960 than he was expected he walked into my mother's 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:56.620 bedroom and that man was there might have killed 00:12:56.620 --> 00:13:00.379 him too but he was fast on his feet we lived 00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:03.519 in a very old -fashioned house these are quaint 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.700 old -fashioned Victorian manner the kind of still 00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:12.929 had gas lamps on the wall and fire axes. I used 00:13:12.929 --> 00:13:15.330 to hear my father joking to his friends about 00:13:15.330 --> 00:13:18.330 the fire axe on the wall. Don't talk about it. 00:13:18.450 --> 00:13:20.490 When I saw my mother, he ripped the axe off the 00:13:20.490 --> 00:13:23.110 wall and he used it. Please. You read about it, 00:13:23.210 --> 00:13:26.690 Lisa, but I saw it. You what? I was six years 00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:29.730 old, a terrified six -year -old who came to find 00:13:29.730 --> 00:13:32.889 out what all the noise was about. I saw the whole 00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:35.309 thing happen from the first stroke of the axe 00:13:35.309 --> 00:13:39.600 to the final blow. Now you know what my nightmare 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.960 is all about, all the blacks and greys and slashes 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:47.360 of red. Oh, you poor man! Alright. Now, I've 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.039 told you the whole story, so... Maybe now you'll 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.220 know why I can't see you again. What? Don't come 00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:57.139 near me again, do you hear me? Vincent! Don't 00:13:57.139 --> 00:14:07.470 come near me... ever! It's been said that the 00:14:07.470 --> 00:14:10.789 mind is like a haunted house, where the ghosts 00:14:10.789 --> 00:14:13.950 of the past rattle their chains and cry out their 00:14:13.950 --> 00:14:16.929 suffering. Of course, that's why we have our 00:14:16.929 --> 00:14:20.309 psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, and these days, 00:14:20.830 --> 00:14:24.429 even our exorcists, the house cleaners of the 00:14:24.429 --> 00:14:28.690 mind. But what will it take to free Vincent Raymond 00:14:28.690 --> 00:14:33.120 of his demons? Or can he ever be freed? We'll 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.120 find out more when I return shortly with Act 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:53.559 Two. And now, Act Two of the Murder Museum. Lisa 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.179 Brandon has come all the way from San Francisco 00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:59.379 to see the Raymond exhibit. but she seems to 00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:02.159 be having a hard time talking the museum guide 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.059 into allowing her a private showing. However, 00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:11.620 she hasn't given up. Yes. I was in love with 00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:15.200 Vincent Ray Linden. I was terribly unhappy when 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.580 he walked out of my life. You mean you never 00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:22.240 saw him again? Oh yes, I saw him again, but things 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.980 weren't the same between us. He was... tormented 00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:30.580 by the memory of what he had seen and it changed 00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:37.419 his life. The dreams began in the orphanage. 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.639 They began there and they never stopped. I woke 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.519 up screaming in horror every time the dream came 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:49.519 to me. I became an outcast without friends, without 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.610 sympathy. Oh Vincent, I'm so sorry. when I realized 00:15:53.610 --> 00:15:56.789 that my only hope for any sort of life was keeping 00:15:56.789 --> 00:16:00.490 my secret. But you're not a child now. I'm older, 00:16:00.669 --> 00:16:05.070 Lisa, but nothing's changed for me. Oh, yeah. 00:16:05.690 --> 00:16:08.070 There's one thing that's changed. What's that? 00:16:09.070 --> 00:16:12.850 I'm giving up my so -called art. I'm going to 00:16:12.850 --> 00:16:16.610 work for a job. Well, I'm sorry, Vincent, is 00:16:16.610 --> 00:16:19.190 I did think you had talent. I've got to get some 00:16:19.190 --> 00:16:22.450 money to live on my... Talent won't provide that. 00:16:22.450 --> 00:16:24.230 Well, I thought you had some savings. They're 00:16:24.230 --> 00:16:27.070 all gone after that lawsuit. What lawsuit? That 00:16:27.070 --> 00:16:30.669 man I beat up on the street. He sued me for damages. 00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:33.230 He won, of course. His wife stood up in court 00:16:33.230 --> 00:16:35.990 and verified that I'd beaten him up with no provocation 00:16:35.990 --> 00:16:39.190 at all. Nothing like a wife's loyalty, is there? 00:16:39.350 --> 00:16:41.250 But Vincent, why didn't you let me know? I would 00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:42.370 have been a witness for you. Oh, it wouldn't 00:16:42.370 --> 00:16:45.169 have mattered. Well, how are you living now? 00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:47.190 Well, on the welfare rules, of course, but don't 00:16:47.190 --> 00:16:50.039 worry about me. Look. If I can lend you any money, 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.259 it won't... No, no. I have borrowed enough from 00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:54.320 you and your brother. I don't want any more money 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.580 or sympathy. Just leave me alone, Lisa. Can't 00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:59.879 you get that through your head? Leave me alone! 00:17:04.579 --> 00:17:08.279 He did find a job eventually, waiting on tables 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.440 down at Fisherman's Wharf. He seemed to sink 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.720 lower and lower every day. My brother and I tried 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:16.960 to help him all we could, but he refused to take 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.900 any more charity. I tried to sell his paintings 00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:23.039 by putting them in the window of our little gallery. 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.700 But there was only one person who seemed interested 00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:34.859 in Vincent's gloomy efforts. Hello? May I help 00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:40.339 you? Yes. I have been looking at the paintings 00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:44.690 in your window. trying to make out the artist's 00:17:44.690 --> 00:17:49.250 name. Oh, his name is Raymond. Raymond. Would 00:17:49.250 --> 00:17:53.250 that be Vincent Raymond, by any chance? Yes, 00:17:53.250 --> 00:17:57.329 it is. Did you like the work? Oh, it's interesting, 00:17:57.589 --> 00:18:03.910 interesting. I'm an artist myself, but that sort 00:18:03.910 --> 00:18:07.829 of thing, all those dark colors, it doesn't really 00:18:07.829 --> 00:18:13.140 appeal to me. Oh, I see. However... I am interested 00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:16.579 in the artist. I wonder if you could tell me 00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:21.279 how to reach him. Is he a local resident? Yes. 00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:25.079 He lives in San Francisco. Would you mind telling 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:28.880 me your name? Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Here is 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:33.980 my card. Rafael Galanari. You might say that 00:18:33.980 --> 00:18:38.579 I am a portrait artist. Oh, and is that why you 00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:41.859 want to meet Vincent? to paint his portrait. 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:48.059 Something like that. Now will you help me? All 00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:51.099 right. I'll tell you where you can reach him. 00:18:58.619 --> 00:19:04.640 Who is it? Rafael Gallinari. Please open the 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.980 door, Mr. Raymond. What do you want? May I speak 00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:14.160 to you for a few moments, Mr. Raymond? I don't 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.000 know you. I thought perhaps the young lady in 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.200 the art gallery might have mentioned my name 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.660 to you. What young lady? Oh, you mean Lisa? May 00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:26.920 I come in, please? It's about a rather important 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:34.160 matter. Oh. All right, come in. What is it you 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.240 want, Mr.? What? What's that name again? Galinari. 00:19:39.009 --> 00:19:41.349 Please, my car. What are you, some kind of bill 00:19:41.349 --> 00:19:44.470 collector? No, Mr. Raymond. It's a matter of 00:19:44.470 --> 00:19:48.390 act. I'm an artist, like yourself. Tough luck 00:19:48.390 --> 00:19:50.470 for you, Mr. Gallinari, if you're an artist like 00:19:50.470 --> 00:19:53.710 me. Take a look around. You see any canvases 00:19:53.710 --> 00:19:57.130 in this place? I understand that you are working 00:19:57.130 --> 00:20:02.130 at the restaurant these days. That's right. Listen, 00:20:02.150 --> 00:20:03.990 if it's my work you're interested in, they're 00:20:03.990 --> 00:20:06.109 all at the gallery. Let me be honest with you, 00:20:06.109 --> 00:20:10.160 Mr. Raymond. It isn't your work I care about. 00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:15.779 It's mine. Yours? That is correct. You see, I 00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:20.960 am a portrait artist, a sculptor actually. So 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:24.880 what? This is how we differ in our talents. Yours 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.900 is dependent on the quality of imagination while 00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:32.240 mine is devoted to verisimilitude. If you would 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:35.519 permit me, perhaps I can buy us both some dinner 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:41.359 and we can talk about our art. If you hadn't 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.460 mentioned dinner, Mr. Gallimari, I would have 00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:55.369 said no. You know how it is with an artist, you 00:20:55.369 --> 00:20:58.750 know how we become obsessed sometimes, obsessed 00:20:58.750 --> 00:21:02.549 with a certain idea, a certain passion for a 00:21:02.549 --> 00:21:06.009 subject. No, Mr. Gallinari, I wouldn't know. 00:21:07.069 --> 00:21:09.609 I lost all my passion for art a long time ago. 00:21:10.009 --> 00:21:13.390 Ah, but if you had the inspiration, if there 00:21:13.390 --> 00:21:16.910 was one thing you wanted to paint more than anything 00:21:16.910 --> 00:21:19.500 else in the world... Believe me, the passion 00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:23.559 would come flooding back like the tide. And... 00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:26.619 Do you... Do you have such a subject in mind? 00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:33.180 Yes. I do. A subject which has haunted me for 00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:37.460 years. More years than I wish to count. And this 00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:40.779 has something to do with me? Everything to do 00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:44.599 with you. Will you have another glass of wine? 00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:49.529 Sure. Since you're buying. You see, Mr. Raymond, 00:21:49.630 --> 00:21:53.349 I am contemplating a certain work, a sculptural 00:21:53.349 --> 00:21:58.250 project, and one which would be impossible without 00:21:58.250 --> 00:22:02.630 you. How could that be? In order to answer that 00:22:02.630 --> 00:22:06.490 question, I have to bring up a subject which 00:22:06.490 --> 00:22:11.230 may be painful to you. A lot of subjects are 00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:15.430 painful to me, Mr. Galanari. This one, I think. 00:22:15.470 --> 00:22:19.509 has left the deepest... Wait a minute. Yes, Mr. 00:22:19.650 --> 00:22:23.369 Raymond. I mean your parents. How do you know 00:22:23.369 --> 00:22:25.569 who I am? At least I'll tell you... No, no, no, 00:22:25.569 --> 00:22:27.650 no, no. No, I assure you, the young woman at 00:22:27.650 --> 00:22:29.910 the gallery said nothing at all to me about you. 00:22:30.069 --> 00:22:32.970 And how did you know? Damn it! Because I've made 00:22:32.970 --> 00:22:37.170 it my business to find you. Believe me, it's 00:22:37.170 --> 00:22:40.950 taken a very long time. The last address I had 00:22:40.950 --> 00:22:44.230 for you was in the Midwest. Then I ran across 00:22:44.230 --> 00:22:46.829 one of your paintings in a traveling exhibit 00:22:46.829 --> 00:22:50.210 the moorland exhibit. Yeah, that was the only 00:22:50.210 --> 00:22:54.069 show I've been in and Nothing sold. I found out 00:22:54.069 --> 00:22:57.349 that you were in San Francisco from the proprietors 00:22:57.349 --> 00:23:00.650 of the exhibit Finally, I saw your work in a 00:23:00.650 --> 00:23:04.450 little gallery on Green Street. Your style is 00:23:04.450 --> 00:23:09.789 unmistakable rotten, but unmistakable Mr. Raymond 00:23:09.789 --> 00:23:19.779 I remember the beautiful Ada. Go on. I'm quite 00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:23.980 a few years older than you. I have a very clear 00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:26.799 memory of how your mother looked on the stage 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:31.700 before her retirement. I thought then that she 00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:35.519 was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.680 Beauty is very fleeting, Mr. Galanari. Like life 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:46.880 itself. Yes, I know that. But then, that's why 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.799 artists are born, aren't they? To capture that 00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:54.420 fleeting beauty and imprison it on canvas, or 00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:59.819 in clay, or in what? Or in other media. Why don't 00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:03.079 you get to the point, Mr. Galanay? Your mother's 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.579 beauty is the point. If I had been the sculptor 00:24:06.579 --> 00:24:10.500 then, that I am now, I would have carved her 00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:14.190 image then. But alas, I was only a boy. I still 00:24:14.190 --> 00:24:18.930 don't know what you want from me. I want to sculpt 00:24:18.930 --> 00:24:23.549 your mother's image, Mr. Raymond. But there is 00:24:23.549 --> 00:24:27.569 only one drawback. I have no mother to work from. 00:24:28.329 --> 00:24:30.710 There's nothing I can do about that. My mother's 00:24:30.710 --> 00:24:33.289 been dead for 25 years. I know there are some 00:24:33.289 --> 00:24:35.789 faded old newspaper photographs of her, but they're 00:24:35.789 --> 00:24:39.529 not really helpful, not to someone who insists. 00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:42.880 I don't see why it's so important. Who cares 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.839 what Ada Crim looked like? But I care. Very much. 00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:53.660 You see, I've already started the project. You 00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:57.589 have? Yes. I've been using the crude photographs 00:24:57.589 --> 00:25:01.309 of her as a guide. I have obtained a sort of 00:25:01.309 --> 00:25:03.130 likeness. Look, I cannot stop you from doing 00:25:03.130 --> 00:25:05.289 what you please, Mr. Gallinari. If you're asking 00:25:05.289 --> 00:25:09.490 for my permission... Well, in a way, yes, I suppose 00:25:09.490 --> 00:25:13.789 I am. It does seem like a slight invasion of 00:25:13.789 --> 00:25:17.630 privacy. All right. If your conscience bothers 00:25:17.630 --> 00:25:20.210 you, I'll tell you what you can do. You can order 00:25:20.210 --> 00:25:24.910 another bottle of wine. Mr. Raymond... I would 00:25:24.910 --> 00:25:29.990 gladly order you a case if you would give me 00:25:29.990 --> 00:25:36.890 one more permission. What's that? To sculpt your 00:25:36.890 --> 00:25:44.490 father, too. My father? As I said, this is a 00:25:44.490 --> 00:25:49.089 form of obsession with me, but from the moment 00:25:49.089 --> 00:25:53.559 I began work on the statue of Ada Cream, I felt 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.000 that I couldn't stop until I had also done the 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:03.059 head of John Lloyd Raymond. He's dead, Mr. Gallinari. 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:05.839 I have no way to prevent you from sculpting him 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:07.740 or painting him or anything else, but I'll tell 00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:10.660 you one thing. You won't get me to talk about 00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:13.259 him. Oh, no, no, no, no. I would not dream of 00:26:13.259 --> 00:26:20.559 it. But you see, I have a peculiar problem. While 00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:23.380 there are some likenesses of Ada Cream available, 00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:29.299 in the case of your father, well, I cannot find 00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:32.819 a single photograph. I have searched and come 00:26:32.819 --> 00:26:36.980 to a dead end. And what I was wondering, and 00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:41.059 I know this is a deposition, if there is something 00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:44.180 in your possession... You think I have a picture 00:26:44.180 --> 00:26:51.690 of him? It was only a hope. I know his memory 00:26:51.690 --> 00:26:56.869 is painful, but you were his son, and sometimes, 00:26:57.150 --> 00:27:03.690 well, there are souvenirs one hates to be scarred. 00:27:03.890 --> 00:27:10.630 Well, Mr. Raymond? I have pictures of him. You 00:27:10.630 --> 00:27:15.009 do? I won't give them to you. Uh, please, don't 00:27:15.009 --> 00:27:18.769 be so hasty. I won't give them to you. But I'll 00:27:18.769 --> 00:27:24.230 sell them to you. Yes, of course. I'm perfectly 00:27:24.230 --> 00:27:27.529 willing to pay. I owe Lisa Brandon and her brother 00:27:27.529 --> 00:27:33.990 exactly $127. That's the price. Done, Mr. Avond. 00:27:36.289 --> 00:27:40.910 $127. And I'm still throwing that case away. 00:27:48.829 --> 00:27:52.130 told me about Mr. Gallinari's visit when he paid 00:27:52.130 --> 00:27:55.430 me back the money that we'd loaned him. He didn't 00:27:55.430 --> 00:27:57.230 really care about those photographs he had. He 00:27:57.230 --> 00:28:00.450 was happy to have gotten rid of the debt. But 00:28:00.450 --> 00:28:04.509 there was only one thing wrong. I think you must 00:28:04.509 --> 00:28:09.809 know what I mean. Yes, I think I do. Raphael 00:28:09.809 --> 00:28:13.069 Gallinari didn't tell Vincent Raymond the whole 00:28:13.069 --> 00:28:17.329 truth. No. He didn't tell him the truth. He didn't 00:28:17.329 --> 00:28:22.049 tell him what... kind of a sculptor he was, or 00:28:22.049 --> 00:28:25.549 what use he would make of his work after it was 00:28:25.549 --> 00:28:28.869 completed. And obviously he didn't tell him the 00:28:28.869 --> 00:28:33.069 medium he would use to carve the statues. No. 00:28:34.170 --> 00:28:37.589 He didn't tell him that the medium would be wax. 00:28:38.750 --> 00:28:49.079 And that the subject would be murder. And what 00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.680 happened when Vincent Raymond learned of the 00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:56.059 duplicity of Raphael Gallinari? Or was it really 00:28:56.059 --> 00:29:00.599 duplicity? Gallinari said he was a sculptor. 00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:04.960 Gallinari said he believed in authenticity. And 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:07.900 of course, Gallinari paid for the privilege of 00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:11.579 using Vincent's photographs as a model. But has 00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:15.740 Gallinari paid enough? We'll find out when I 00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:31.700 return shortly with Act 3. And now, here's Act 00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:36.579 3 of the Murder Museum. For Vincent Raymond, 00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:40.720 all nights are the same. A dark passage into 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:46.140 yesterday. A grim return trip to the past. But 00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:51.779 men must sleep, and sleepers must dream. So there's 00:29:51.779 --> 00:30:01.789 no escape for him. He means nothing to me, I 00:30:01.789 --> 00:30:03.970 swear it! And that's why he was in your bedroom, 00:30:04.109 --> 00:30:07.109 Ada? Is that why? Please, please, think of our 00:30:07.109 --> 00:30:10.250 little boy! Ada! Look at Vincent, you're frightening 00:30:10.250 --> 00:30:13.890 him to death! Death, that's right Ada, death! 00:30:14.390 --> 00:31:13.220 That's what you deserve! This morning, the gallery 00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:15.119 wasn't open more than ten minutes, and this man 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.539 walked in, wearing a homburg thing. I didn't 00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:20.900 think people wore homburgs anymore, but he did. 00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:23.819 Who was he? What was his name? He gave me a card. 00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:25.619 Oh, wait a minute. It's right here. I've got 00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:27.660 it in my purse. It wasn't someone named Gallinari, 00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:30.480 was it? What? Ruffield Gallinari calls himself 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.380 a sculptor. No, it wasn't him. Wait. His name 00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:37.460 is... There it is. Charles Mulholland. Does that 00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:40.180 mean anything to you? Mulholland? That's Mulholland 00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:44.200 Gallery in Chicago. if there's any connection. 00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:46.740 Well, anyway, he bore his Vincent without any 00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:49.140 quibble about the price. And in fact, Heath was 00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:52.640 surprised that it was so low. Miracles never 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.720 cease, do they? Oh, Vincent, Vincent, if he really 00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:59.180 is somebody, then maybe your work will start 00:31:59.180 --> 00:32:01.539 to be recognized. Oh, forget it, Lisa. There 00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:05.019 isn't any more work for me just waiting on tables. 00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:07.400 That's my art. And I'm getting better at it all 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:09.819 the time. Well, anyway, here's your money. It's 00:32:09.819 --> 00:32:13.599 all in $50 bill. Wait now. That's the full 300. 00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:17.200 What about the gallery's commission? You need 00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:19.480 the money more than we need the commission. No, 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.400 sir. We you've got to accept one -third of it 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.900 It wouldn't be fair. Otherwise, I knew you'd 00:32:23.900 --> 00:32:27.859 feel that way It's the first painting I've sold 00:32:27.859 --> 00:32:30.700 these do you realize that I told you you had 00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:32.980 talent that'll teach you to listen to me You're 00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:36.160 right. I should always listen to you. I've got 00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.859 an idea. Have you had breakfast yet? Well, I 00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:40.990 have coffee tell you what I'm going to get dressed 00:32:40.990 --> 00:32:44.210 and we'll go celebrate with champagne and eggs, 00:32:44.430 --> 00:32:46.809 Benedict. And then we're going out tonight. I'm 00:32:46.809 --> 00:32:49.970 going to buy you the fanciest dinner in San Francisco. 00:32:50.430 --> 00:32:52.089 Oh, Vincent, you can't spend all the money in 00:32:52.089 --> 00:32:54.930 one day. Why not? Probably the first and last 00:32:54.930 --> 00:32:57.190 money I'll ever make for my paintings. Let's 00:32:57.190 --> 00:33:08.839 put it to good use. It seems that Vincent had 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:12.920 more talent than anyone realized. Those dark 00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.339 and gloomy paintings seem to have the qualities 00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:20.380 of genius. At least that's what Mr. Mulholland 00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:24.910 said in his letter. Lisa! Listen to this! Listen 00:33:24.910 --> 00:33:27.150 to this. Go on, I'm listening. The Mulholland 00:33:27.150 --> 00:33:29.250 Gallery would be most interested in arranging 00:33:29.250 --> 00:33:31.670 an exhibition of your work. Listen, they're willing 00:33:31.670 --> 00:33:34.170 to pay all the cost of carding and insuring the 00:33:34.170 --> 00:33:36.230 paintings. They'll even pay my fare and expenses 00:33:36.230 --> 00:33:39.450 to Chicago so I can attend the opening. Lisa, 00:33:39.529 --> 00:33:41.450 can you believe it? Oh, Vince, and it's the most 00:33:41.450 --> 00:33:43.609 wonderful thing I ever heard. Well, it's not 00:33:43.609 --> 00:33:45.609 a one -man show, nothing that's grand, but the 00:33:45.609 --> 00:33:48.750 Mulholland Gallery. That's one of the best, Lisa, 00:33:48.789 --> 00:33:50.890 one of the most pre - prestigious do you know 00:33:50.890 --> 00:33:52.990 when you'll be leaving as soon as I can get all 00:33:52.990 --> 00:33:55.109 the stuff created and shipped I guess the sooner 00:33:55.109 --> 00:33:58.509 the better Lisa why don't you come with me oh 00:33:58.509 --> 00:34:01.109 I couldn't do that I still have to be a brother 00:34:01.109 --> 00:34:03.450 can take care of it for a week or so that that's 00:34:03.450 --> 00:34:05.529 all the time it'll take oh I just couldn't do 00:34:05.529 --> 00:34:08.769 it Vincent but but when you have that big one 00:34:08.769 --> 00:34:19.940 -man show I promise to be there when Vincent 00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:22.699 Raymond went to Chicago. Yes, that was his reason 00:34:22.699 --> 00:34:26.159 for going there. A very happy reason. Was the 00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:29.059 show a success? Oh, it was. The press reception 00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:32.179 to Vincent's work was very good. Far better than 00:34:32.179 --> 00:34:35.840 the evaluation he received back home. I guess 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:39.179 it's true what they say about a prophet being 00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:41.980 without honor in his own country. In this case, 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:45.380 in his own state. There were a dozen paintings 00:34:45.380 --> 00:34:47.869 in all the exhibit. and at least half of them 00:34:47.869 --> 00:34:50.570 were sold in the first week. And for the first 00:34:50.570 --> 00:34:55.050 time, Vincent was a happy man. He sent me just 00:34:55.050 --> 00:34:57.849 one letter, and it contained a very good piece 00:34:57.849 --> 00:35:00.849 of news. Perhaps even more important than the 00:35:00.849 --> 00:35:05.909 news of his artistic success. Dear Lisa, just 00:35:05.909 --> 00:35:08.550 a quick note to tell you that I'm well and spending 00:35:08.550 --> 00:35:11.750 money like a drunken sailor. I've bought two 00:35:11.750 --> 00:35:15.349 new suits. Yes, I said suits with matching pants 00:35:15.349 --> 00:35:18.329 and jacket believe it or not, but more important 00:35:18.329 --> 00:35:20.389 I'll tell you one other thing that seems to have 00:35:20.389 --> 00:35:23.809 happened to me For the last three nights. I've 00:35:23.809 --> 00:35:27.969 slept without a dream. I Think you must realize 00:35:27.969 --> 00:35:32.230 the importance of that Lisa three nights of dreamless 00:35:32.230 --> 00:35:36.550 sleep The most precious three nights of my existence 00:35:36.550 --> 00:35:40.929 But those dreamless nights didn't last very long 00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:44.320 Because the very next morning at breakfast, in 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:47.619 his hotel room, Vincent opened the local paper 00:35:47.619 --> 00:35:51.800 and saw a strangely familiar name. Gallinari. 00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:56.900 Gallinari. What's that all about? Announcing 00:35:56.900 --> 00:36:00.460 the opening of Gallinari's Murder Museum. Oh 00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:04.380 no, that can't be the same man. The Murder Museum. 00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:06.780 World's most terrifying house of wax, vivid recreation 00:36:06.780 --> 00:36:09.000 scenes of crime, passion and horror never before 00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.710 witnessed. Oh, it can't be the same man. It can't 00:36:13.710 --> 00:36:25.710 be. Where's the phone number? Hello. Is this 00:36:25.710 --> 00:36:27.889 the murder museum? Yes, I know you're not open 00:36:27.889 --> 00:36:30.510 yet. Listen, I want to ask you a question. This 00:36:30.510 --> 00:36:32.449 man, Gallinari, I want to know his first name. 00:36:33.570 --> 00:36:36.710 Raphael. And he is? Listen, what time are you 00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:39.239 open? No earlier than that. And tell me what 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:41.420 I can find, Mr. Gallinari. Yes, it's important. 00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:44.719 No, my name does not matter. All right, all right! 00:36:47.059 --> 00:36:51.880 First show at two o 'clock or... Dear God, don't 00:36:51.880 --> 00:37:09.099 let it be true. bash his victims with poison, 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:11.920 but then mutilated their bodies in the dreadful 00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:15.519 fashion you see before you. And now, if you'll 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.679 step to the next exhibit, you will see the latest 00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:20.679 edition to Professor Gallinari's world famous 00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.659 murder museum. For the first time in any house 00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:27.380 of wax, the horrifying axe murder of one of the 00:37:27.380 --> 00:37:29.480 most glamorous women ever to appear upon the 00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:39.639 American stage. It's true. He was faithless. 00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:43.280 And one day, her wealthy manufacturer husband, 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.539 John Lloyd Raymond, returned home... Listen, 00:37:46.699 --> 00:37:48.820 I've got to ask you something. Excuse me, sir, 00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:50.440 but I'm still not through with this. I, I... 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:52.219 Where is he? Does he have an office at this museum? 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:54.400 Please, sir, I... I can't see him. It may... 00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:56.960 Make him remove this. Appomination! Well, no, 00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:58.579 his office is in the rear. I don't know if he's... 00:37:58.579 --> 00:38:00.980 Out of my way! No, just here. Come back here. 00:38:13.449 --> 00:38:18.030 Sorry, I'm quite busy at the moment, and I... 00:38:18.030 --> 00:38:23.670 Raymond? Is that you? Yes, Vincent Raymond. What 00:38:23.670 --> 00:38:27.170 are you doing in Chicago? The question is, what 00:38:27.170 --> 00:38:31.869 have you done? Now, be calm, young man. There 00:38:31.869 --> 00:38:34.730 is nothing to get so excited about. That's your 00:38:34.730 --> 00:38:38.050 art out there, Gallinari, out there! That's the 00:38:38.050 --> 00:38:40.389 very similitude you were talking about! Yes, 00:38:40.510 --> 00:38:43.760 yes, that's right. I tried to be faithful to 00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:45.340 the original. I'm not ashamed of myself. You 00:38:45.340 --> 00:38:48.860 liar, you thief! Now come, come, come. I've stolen 00:38:48.860 --> 00:38:52.340 nothing. I've imitated life, but stolen nothing. 00:38:53.699 --> 00:38:58.199 Now please, sit down. Calm yourself. Let me offer 00:38:58.199 --> 00:38:59.880 you a drink. You lied to me. You pretended to 00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:01.380 be something you weren't. You never told me you 00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:04.860 were going to create that horror up there. I 00:39:04.860 --> 00:39:09.179 told you only the truth. That I wish to do a 00:39:09.179 --> 00:39:13.739 sculpture of your mother and father. I only neglected 00:39:13.739 --> 00:39:18.460 to tell you the medium. Some artists work with 00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:23.760 clay and marble. I chose wax. Is that so wrong? 00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:26.780 You know it's wrong. You made a public spectacle 00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:29.559 out of it. And now you're going to do something 00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:32.159 about it. You're going to get rid of that thing 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:35.820 out there. I am afraid that's impossible. The 00:39:35.820 --> 00:39:38.920 exhibit took months to create. They all do. The 00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:41.420 investment in time and money... I'll sue you! 00:39:41.420 --> 00:39:44.320 I will make you destroy it! Ah, Mr. Raymond, 00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:47.900 don't make unnecessary problems for yourself. 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:51.679 Murder is in the public domain! There has to 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.219 be some way to make you tear it down, and I will, 00:39:53.500 --> 00:40:02.219 I swear it! I won't let that thing stand! Of 00:40:02.219 --> 00:40:06.599 course. I know myself what happened next. Because 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:10.739 I was there in the murder museum. The night that 00:40:10.739 --> 00:40:14.119 your friend Vincent Raymond returned. Oh, please. 00:40:14.739 --> 00:40:16.980 Can you tell me about it? I never did know the 00:40:16.980 --> 00:40:19.519 details. Well, from what I understand, he went 00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:21.880 to a lawyer the very next day to see if there 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:25.440 was some legal means to get Gallinari to destroy 00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.800 the exhibit. He must have gotten some idea how 00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:31.119 difficult it would be to get an injunction against 00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:34.530 the museum. Because that's when he decided that 00:40:34.530 --> 00:40:38.449 the only recourse was to destroy the sculpture 00:40:38.449 --> 00:40:42.190 itself. Yes, that would be like Vincent. And 00:40:42.190 --> 00:40:44.869 what he did was very simple. He came back to 00:40:44.869 --> 00:40:48.690 the museum for the last show of the day. But 00:40:48.690 --> 00:40:50.849 during the tour, he slipped away from the crowd 00:40:50.849 --> 00:40:53.090 and hid behind one of the curtains until everyone 00:40:53.090 --> 00:40:57.789 had gone. And then he walked up to the exhibit 00:40:57.789 --> 00:41:02.670 and stopped in front of it. Of course, the instrument 00:41:02.670 --> 00:41:04.909 he needed to destroy the exhibit was already 00:41:04.909 --> 00:41:08.329 there. The fire axe was real, like the clothes 00:41:08.329 --> 00:41:10.849 of the wax figures and the furnishings of the 00:41:10.849 --> 00:41:14.489 room. All he had to do was take the axe out of 00:41:14.489 --> 00:41:17.030 the hands of his father's statue, and that's 00:41:17.030 --> 00:41:24.449 what he did. Destroy. Destroy must be destroyed. 00:41:25.670 --> 00:41:28.110 And so I'm standing there as still as the wax 00:41:28.110 --> 00:41:31.510 figures themselves. And I froze in the doorway 00:41:31.510 --> 00:41:35.010 too, afraid to move. Because I saw his eyes. 00:41:35.909 --> 00:41:39.570 And I was afraid to become a victim too. And 00:41:39.570 --> 00:41:43.989 then I heard him sobbing. I shouldn't have done 00:41:43.989 --> 00:41:49.309 it. I shouldn't have done it. So I turned the 00:41:49.309 --> 00:41:52.590 axe toward the figure of his father. But then 00:41:52.590 --> 00:41:56.710 a strange thing happened. He began to shake from 00:41:56.710 --> 00:42:01.289 head to foot. He seemed unable to bring the axe 00:42:01.289 --> 00:42:05.429 down on the figure of John Lloyd. No! That wasn't 00:42:05.429 --> 00:42:48.119 your father with hands! I'm sorry, I just can't 00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:51.019 be out of here anymore. Does that mean that you 00:42:51.019 --> 00:42:55.079 don't want to see the Raymond exhibit now? No, 00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:59.860 I still want to see it. But I'm taking the next 00:42:59.860 --> 00:43:02.639 flight back to San Francisco, so I suppose there's 00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:05.940 no use. Well, I guess it's only fair that I show 00:43:05.940 --> 00:43:09.199 it to you, Miss Brandon, since you came all this 00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:23.349 way. fixing up an exhibit or preparing to show 00:43:23.349 --> 00:43:26.969 something new. This is really very kind of you. 00:43:27.250 --> 00:43:30.409 Oh, that's all right. I just hope that you don't 00:43:30.409 --> 00:43:34.829 find the exhibit too depressing. Is it a very 00:43:34.829 --> 00:43:39.610 good likeness? Yes, I think it's very good. But 00:43:39.610 --> 00:43:45.429 judge for yourself. As you can see, the figures 00:43:45.429 --> 00:43:48.010 are all ready, but the furnishings need some 00:43:48.010 --> 00:44:05.539 work still. I shouldn't say that. I did ask you 00:44:05.539 --> 00:44:08.300 to show it to me. Yes, I was afraid you'd feel 00:44:08.300 --> 00:44:11.099 that way, miss. Because the likeness is really 00:44:11.099 --> 00:44:14.559 very good. It was Gallinari's brother who did 00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:17.340 the statue of the professor. Naturally, he'd 00:44:17.340 --> 00:44:23.739 get that right. But that's Vincent, too. It's 00:44:23.739 --> 00:44:28.300 just like him. It's a very good likeness of Vincent 00:44:28.300 --> 00:44:32.769 Raymond. That's just how he looked when he strangled 00:44:32.769 --> 00:44:37.230 the life out of Professor Gallinari. Right here 00:44:37.230 --> 00:44:47.090 in the murder museum. If you are contemplating 00:44:47.090 --> 00:44:51.130 a visit to a wax museum, we pass on this advice 00:44:51.130 --> 00:44:57.150 to you. One, don't go during a heat wave. Two, 00:44:57.340 --> 00:45:00.679 Make sure that you can stand the sight of wax. 00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:05.559 And three, be certain you don't have any murderous 00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:09.039 ancestors who just might show up in one of the 00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:24.619 exhibits. I'll be back shortly. We hope you enjoyed 00:45:24.619 --> 00:45:27.849 tonight's tour through the Murder Museum. We 00:45:27.849 --> 00:45:30.210 hope that you'll always come back through the 00:45:30.210 --> 00:45:33.349 creaking door of the radio mystery theater. Because 00:45:33.349 --> 00:45:37.130 it's the one place you can enter where your imagination 00:45:37.130 --> 00:45:41.869 provides the real thrills. Tonight we tried to 00:45:41.869 --> 00:45:44.730 aid that imagination with the voices of Michael 00:45:44.730 --> 00:45:48.289 Wager, Marion Seldas, Robert Dryden, and Leon 00:45:48.289 --> 00:45:51.750 Janney. The entire production was under the direction 00:45:51.750 --> 00:45:57.050 of Hyman Brown. And now a preview of our next... 00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:09.519 Hello? Isabelle, it's Skye. Skye, I've been worried 00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:13.079 sick. Where have you been? Where are you? At 00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:16.039 the apartment. I've been calling and calling. 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:18.460 The phone must be out of order. I took it off 00:46:18.460 --> 00:47:00.869 the hook. Are you with her again? to return to 00:47:00.869 --> 00:47:04.010 our mystery theater for another adventure in 00:47:04.010 --> 00:47:09.590 the macabre. Until next time, pleasant dreams.
