WEBVTT 00:00:17.089 --> 00:00:23.670 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:26.809 once again to another adventurous journey across 00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:29.929 the mysterious and terror -filled terrain of 00:00:29.929 --> 00:00:33.869 the human imagination. The moving finger, the 00:00:33.869 --> 00:00:38.689 poet said, writes. And having wit moves on. Not 00:00:38.689 --> 00:00:41.789 all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to 00:00:41.789 --> 00:00:45.829 cancel half a line, nor all your tears. Wash 00:00:45.829 --> 00:00:49.609 out a word of it. Well, we seek no quarrel with 00:00:49.609 --> 00:00:52.409 the great Omar, but the fact is that anything 00:00:52.409 --> 00:00:57.469 written can be rewritten, even erased. It's all 00:00:57.469 --> 00:00:59.789 merely a matter of knowing the right people. 00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:03.649 What do you need the money for? To bet with. 00:01:04.129 --> 00:01:07.450 It's immoral. It's a way to make a fortune. Besides, 00:01:07.670 --> 00:01:11.709 you can lose. Oh, not me. I've heard people say 00:01:11.709 --> 00:01:14.109 that before on the way to the poor house. Jerry, 00:01:14.109 --> 00:01:17.500 listen. I know who's going to win the World Series. 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.340 I know who's going to be elected president next 00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:23.540 year. I know what stocks are going up. You're 00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:26.500 crazy! Just let me have the money, Jerry. I'll 00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:29.299 double it, quadruple it. There's no limit to 00:01:29.299 --> 00:01:33.040 what we can win. I know everything that will 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.140 happen in the next 21 years. We can be the richest 00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:41.980 people in the world, Jerry. We... We can own 00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:54.079 the world! Our mystery drama, Yesterday's Murder, 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.780 was written especially for the Mystery Theater 00:01:56.780 --> 00:02:01.959 by Sam Dan and stars, Mercedes McCambridge. I'll 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:17.330 be back shortly with Act One. This is not the 00:02:17.330 --> 00:02:21.229 best of all possible worlds. But it's the only 00:02:21.229 --> 00:02:24.330 world we have at this point. And so there are 00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:27.710 times when we despair of the inequity and unfairness 00:02:27.710 --> 00:02:31.289 of so many things. But we should remember, there 00:02:31.289 --> 00:02:34.270 is justice. Even though it may not always look 00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:38.530 that way, there is justice. And justice moves 00:02:38.530 --> 00:02:42.289 at its own pace, manifests itself in its own 00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:46.080 way. A way that is sometimes as obvious and dramatic 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.620 as a bolt of lightning. Sometimes as silent, 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.439 as unobtrusive as the fall of a leaf. But either 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.500 way, justice will have been done, finally, irrevocably, 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:02.340 and for all eternity. But let us begin our story, 00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:06.219 or rather continue, for who knows when any story 00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:09.819 really begins. At Ramelletti's, which is, as 00:03:09.819 --> 00:03:12.199 you know, a very chic, very exclusive watering 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.469 place, for the very wealthy. May I get you something, 00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:18.310 madam? Well, I'm expecting someone, so I'll just 00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:23.370 order a small... Why, it's Dottie. Dottie Malloy. 00:03:24.229 --> 00:03:28.330 Hello, Jane. Dottie, it can't be... It can't 00:03:28.330 --> 00:03:34.210 be you. Why not? Because you look so... So old. 00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:38.229 Oh, I... I didn't mean that. I suppose I do look 00:03:38.229 --> 00:03:41.449 old. But you're just a year older than I am. 00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:43.330 You're young even before the year. I'm two years 00:03:43.330 --> 00:03:46.009 younger than you are, Jane. And I was just 43 00:03:46.009 --> 00:03:50.169 last week. I didn't recognize you at first. Have 00:03:50.169 --> 00:03:53.569 I changed that much? In 20 years? No, no. I was 00:03:53.569 --> 00:03:55.569 just so busy looking at the necklace and the 00:03:55.569 --> 00:03:59.069 earrings and the rings. The diamonds are all 00:03:59.069 --> 00:04:02.050 genuine. But if you got them, wear them. Well, 00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:03.930 to answer your question, you haven't changed. 00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:06.330 You look exactly the same. Same as you did when 00:04:06.330 --> 00:04:08.050 we were both working at Waterfield & Prentice. 00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:14.150 Actually, you look better. I don't suppose. That 00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:16.610 is, I guess you're not allowed to sit down and 00:04:16.610 --> 00:04:19.709 talk to me. No, I'm very happy for you, Jane. 00:04:20.529 --> 00:04:24.029 That's another thing. I can't say that I'm happy 00:04:24.029 --> 00:04:29.569 for you. How is Harold? Oh, yes, yes, Harold. 00:04:30.269 --> 00:04:34.449 He's fine. Still as handsome as ever? Handsomer. 00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:38.149 What's he doing now? Oh, you know what he's doing. 00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:41.509 Yeah, I suppose I do. Still selling men's suits 00:04:41.509 --> 00:04:43.790 at Westing. No, not at Westing's, but at a place 00:04:43.790 --> 00:04:45.870 just like it. That's all he ever wanted to do. 00:04:46.689 --> 00:04:51.730 To wear smart clothes. I want to apologize to 00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:54.930 you, darling. For what? Oh, for the way I hated 00:04:54.930 --> 00:05:00.050 you. For taking Harold away from me. I couldn't 00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:04.009 take what you didn't have. I know. Actually, 00:05:04.069 --> 00:05:06.870 you did me a favor. Yes, I can see that I did. 00:05:07.189 --> 00:05:09.660 I would have been stuck. Well, Harold, just as, 00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:14.500 just as I am. Well, this way I made three fantastic 00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:16.879 marriages. Each one wealthier than the last. 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.180 I'm glad for you. Oh, Daddy, I want to cry. Why? 00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:26.120 Because, because I look at you and I remember 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.699 how you, how you used to be, how you sparkled. 00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:34.379 Well, that's life. No. No, it's not life. It's, 00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:37.620 it's money. Or I should say not having money. 00:05:38.200 --> 00:05:41.300 Daddy, let me do something for you. What? Well, 00:05:41.420 --> 00:05:43.300 then just don't take what I'm about to say the 00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:46.740 wrong way, Dottie. Let me give you some money. 00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:52.300 No, no, no, Jane. Money can't help me. Don't 00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:55.740 say nothing can help me. It's the only way to 00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:59.899 put it. And I'm serious, Jane. The only thing 00:05:59.899 --> 00:06:06.420 I can say is that I... I'm under a curse. Dottie, 00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:14.240 is that... It's true. And I deserve it. So... 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:19.560 What's your order? Daddy? Is there any point 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.660 in my saying that we should get together soon? 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.420 No. No Jane, you know as well as I do there is 00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:37.759 no point in your saying it. There you're late. 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.110 Yeah. I had to work dinner. Oh, it's okay. I 00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:42.370 made myself a sandwich. You eat? I'm not hungry. 00:06:42.709 --> 00:06:46.769 Well, should you be? No, no. Maybe later. Did 00:06:46.769 --> 00:06:48.470 anybody interesting come into the place today? 00:06:49.670 --> 00:06:52.629 No. Nobody. Ah, you know, I kind of wish I worked 00:06:52.629 --> 00:06:54.069 in a place where you could meet celebrities. 00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:55.910 You don't meet them, Harold. You just wait on 00:06:55.910 --> 00:06:57.569 them. Well, it should give you something to talk 00:06:57.569 --> 00:06:59.889 about, wouldn't it? Hey, I'm glad I had a chance 00:06:59.889 --> 00:07:01.470 to see you before I left. Where are you going? 00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:05.089 Where am I? You know, you haven't changed a single 00:07:05.089 --> 00:07:07.689 little bit in 20 years. You're still the greatest 00:07:07.689 --> 00:07:10.350 little kidder in the whole wide world. I forgot. 00:07:10.910 --> 00:07:13.589 It's Tuesday night. Yes, indeedy -doddy, it's 00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:15.629 Tuesday night. That old handsome Harold goes 00:07:15.629 --> 00:07:18.550 bowling for 17 years, man and boy through rain 00:07:18.550 --> 00:07:21.050 and sleet and snow and hail... Well, I think 00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:23.269 I'll go lie down. Well, sure, honey. Why don't 00:07:23.269 --> 00:07:26.589 you do that? You look tired. And good night, 00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:29.269 honey. Don't be too late. You know, you always 00:07:29.269 --> 00:07:41.629 say that. Good night. I'll see you. What? Oh, 00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:45.629 now what did he do? Forget his teeth. Look at 00:07:45.629 --> 00:07:48.629 me. I must have fallen asleep on the couch. All 00:07:48.629 --> 00:07:52.470 right, all right, I'm coming, I'm coming. Honestly, 00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:58.750 Harold, at least you could do a taste. Oh. Good 00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:04.589 evening. Did I wake you? Who are you? I'm Mr. 00:08:04.829 --> 00:08:10.139 Carpenter, and you are Mrs. Malloy. Yes.

Well, you're the one 00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:20.480 who rang my bell. Yes, because you sent for me 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.660 I sent for you.

Nothing. 00:08:48.450 --> 00:08:50.389 Well, let me put it this way. What will whatever 00:08:50.389 --> 00:08:55.230 you have to give away cost me? Nothing. Well, 00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:57.429 how do you stay in business? Whatever your business 00:08:57.429 --> 00:09:02.570 is. We're a, uh, non -profit organization.

Well, you don't understand. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.450 I think I do. You see, something... happened 00:09:37.450 --> 00:09:40.909 a long time ago. 21 years ago, to be exact. Yes, 00:09:40.909 --> 00:09:43.789 that's right, and I - And you think you're still 00:09:43.789 --> 00:09:47.750 being punished for it. Wait a minute. How do 00:09:47.750 --> 00:09:51.029 you know - I know everything. What do you mean 00:09:51.029 --> 00:09:55.669 everything? Who are you? I told you.

You 00:10:04.549 --> 00:10:07.820 know the evening. How can you ever forget it? 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.360 You dream about it every night. You relive it 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.860 in every nightmare. I don't know what you're 00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:16.059 talking about. Sure you do. How would I be able 00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:18.879 to remember some evening? Let me refresh your 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.779 memory. You were working for a brokerage house 00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:29.179 called Waterfield and Prentice. It was nine o 00:10:29.179 --> 00:10:32.320 'clock at night. The entire building was empty, 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:38.419 deserted, except for... Well except for you What 00:10:38.419 --> 00:10:41.419 were you doing there at 9 o 'clock at night? 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.659 What were you doing in Mr. Waterfield's private 00:10:44.659 --> 00:10:47.720 office? What were you doing taking money out 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.399 of Mr. Waterfield's safe? Suddenly you turn ashy 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.980 white with fear You hear a door open and it's 00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:59.320 it's old Jerry the night watchman and he asks 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.500 you the very same question What are you doing 00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:07.879 at that safe, Dottie? Oh, Jerry. Oh, you scared 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.580 me. Well, you see, uh, Mr. Waterfield called 00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:15.559 me. And he asked, could I come down here and 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.480 take this money out of the safe? And, uh... No, 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.740 Dottie, that ain't so. He didn't ask you nothing 00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:24.399 of the sort. Oh, but I tell you, he... Besides, 00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:27.919 you ain't supposed to know the combination. How'd 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.799 you find the combination, Dottie? Jerry... Jerry, 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.639 listen. I know you were tempted, and I can understand 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.600 that, Dotty. I need this money. It's not just 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:41.000 for me. It's to help somebody. Jerry, I'm not 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.860 supposed to know the combination. Nobody could 00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:45.139 ever trace this to me. I guess not. And it's 00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:48.360 only $20 ,000. What's $20 ,000 to old man Waterfield? 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.799 He can afford to lose it. Look, Jerry, I'll give 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.519 you some of it. $5 ,000. No, Dotty. I'm taking 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.580 this money. You can't stop me. I'll have to report 00:11:58.580 --> 00:12:00.399 you, Dotty. I'll deny it. It's your word against 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.460 mine. Enough people around here think you're 00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:04.840 getting senile anyhow. Now, Jerry, get out of 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.620 my way. I'll have to stop you, Dottie. It's my 00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:09.419 duty. You're an old man and I don't want to hurt 00:12:09.419 --> 00:12:12.559 you. Now, let go of me. Don't let go. Get your 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.899 hands off me. Put it back, Dottie. Please. Dottie, 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:25.460 put it. Put it. Jerry. Jerry, I didn't touch 00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:30.500 you. It's my heart. I have... Those are my shirt 00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:34.639 pocket. Give me, give me. Jerry, don't. Jerry, 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.740 please don't die. I'll put the money back, but 00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:50.340 please. Jerry. Oh. But he did die. And you didn't 00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:54.559 put the money back. What do you want? Did you 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.899 come here to blackmail me? Tell me. Were you 00:12:57.899 --> 00:13:01.570 sincere? Would you really put the money back 00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:06.629 if you had another chance? Yes. It would have 00:13:06.629 --> 00:13:08.409 saved Jerry's life if I'd done it when he asked 00:13:08.409 --> 00:13:12.450 me. That's why I am here. To give you that opportunity 00:13:12.450 --> 00:13:18.450 to put the money back. Put the money back? That 00:13:18.450 --> 00:13:20.070 money's been gone for years. Twenty thousand 00:13:20.070 --> 00:13:23.250 dollars. And I never had so much as a penny's 00:13:23.250 --> 00:13:25.269 worth of enjoyment out of it. How would you like 00:13:25.269 --> 00:13:29.190 the chance to put the money back? How can I put 00:13:29.190 --> 00:13:32.690 it back? I don't have it. Would you like to have 00:13:32.690 --> 00:13:36.950 the chance to put it back while he was still 00:13:36.950 --> 00:13:44.789 asking you to do it? What are you saying? What 00:13:44.789 --> 00:13:54.820 are you saying? There can't be very much doubt 00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:57.379 about what he's saying. He's certainly saying 00:13:57.379 --> 00:14:02.179 it clearly enough. But can it be done? Even so, 00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:05.279 you certainly have to admit, it isn't the kind 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.940 of offer you get every day. Should she take him 00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:13.659 up on it? Would you? I shall return shortly with 00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:29.120 act two. you can't go back again. Once you leave 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.120 a certain time and a certain place, it's gone 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.360 forever. On the face of it, it sounds like an 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.159 extremely sound rule. However, as everyone knows, 00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:43.340 every rule has its exceptions. And this is what 00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:46.279 a Mr. Carpenter seems to be discussing with Dottie 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.399 Malloy. What I'm saying, Mrs. Malloy, and I thought 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.759 I was saying it clearly. is would you like to 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.720 have the chance to put the money back when old 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.139 Jerry asked you to? But that's impossible. I 00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:03.519 didn't ask you if it was possible. I asked you 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.299 if you would like to have the chance to do it. 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.080 I know, I'm not asleep. I'm not dreaming all 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.379 this. No, you're wide awake. Well, your answer 00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:17.299 is... Twenty thousand dollars! That was a fortune! 00:15:18.069 --> 00:15:20.269 A fortune, I thought it would change my own life. 00:15:20.309 --> 00:15:24.409 And it did. It made me an old woman long before 00:15:24.409 --> 00:15:28.629 my time. I know. I had to hide that money. I 00:15:28.629 --> 00:15:32.049 had to lie about every nickel of it. When Harold 00:15:32.049 --> 00:15:34.210 needed $5 ,000 to go into business, I made up 00:15:34.210 --> 00:15:36.350 a story of an aunt who died and left me them. 00:15:37.389 --> 00:15:40.169 Now what's the difference? He went bankrupt anyhow. 00:15:41.029 --> 00:15:44.450 I bought stocks that dropped out of sight. I 00:15:44.450 --> 00:15:46.429 got on horses. Some of them never even finished. 00:15:46.450 --> 00:15:48.129 That's right. It was as if there was a curse 00:15:48.129 --> 00:15:50.750 on that money. Well, you seemed to know everything, 00:15:50.990 --> 00:15:54.509 was there? Well, let's say you should never have 00:15:54.509 --> 00:15:58.190 taken it. Would my life have been different? 00:15:58.590 --> 00:16:00.289 Yeah. Tell me how. I don't know. What do you 00:16:00.289 --> 00:16:03.529 mean you don't know? Without that murder on your 00:16:03.529 --> 00:16:08.429 conscience. Don't call it murder. It was... It 00:16:08.429 --> 00:16:12.809 was... What was it? You would have looked at 00:16:12.809 --> 00:16:15.590 things differently. Had a different attitude. 00:16:16.610 --> 00:16:20.210 Unless, of course... Unless what? Unless... You 00:16:20.210 --> 00:16:22.470 happen to be a thief in your heart, in which 00:16:22.470 --> 00:16:26.710 case... One way or another, you wind up just 00:16:26.710 --> 00:16:30.889 about the way you are now. A failure filled with 00:16:30.889 --> 00:16:35.769 remorse. I'm not a thief! I wasn't... I never 00:16:35.769 --> 00:16:38.049 stole anything in my life until... Well, you 00:16:38.049 --> 00:16:40.330 probably never had the opportunity. Don't say 00:16:40.330 --> 00:16:43.350 that! I have to say that because... There's no 00:16:43.350 --> 00:16:46.029 point in giving you a chance to make a man's 00:16:46.029 --> 00:16:51.470 if. If? If in the end you do the same thing all 00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:57.889 over again. Do you think I'd... Oh, Lord! To 00:16:57.889 --> 00:17:01.289 get one night's sleep, to lose the sight of that 00:17:01.289 --> 00:17:04.990 old man's face, I would give my soul. You don't 00:17:04.990 --> 00:17:09.009 have to give anything. Money. Once I thought 00:17:09.009 --> 00:17:11.809 it was everything. Oh, look what it did to me. 00:17:12.610 --> 00:17:18.569 I hate it. I don't want it. Please, give me that 00:17:18.569 --> 00:17:23.410 chance. Give me that chance. Don't listen to 00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:26.049 me. Listen to what I'm saying. I must be crazy. 00:17:27.170 --> 00:17:31.849 Somehow a stranger comes into my house and somehow 00:17:31.849 --> 00:17:34.789 he finds out a secret about me. And for some 00:17:34.789 --> 00:17:36.769 reason, which I can't understand, he chooses 00:17:36.769 --> 00:17:40.490 to amuse himself. I admit this is shocking to 00:17:40.490 --> 00:17:43.900 you. But there's one way to prove that I'm serious 00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:51.480 and you're not crazy. Go back. Go back? Twenty 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.380 -one years? Yes. I'm afraid. Afraid? Afraid to 00:17:56.380 --> 00:17:59.619 be young again? Afraid to have another chance, 00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:05.700 another lifetime? How would a thing like this 00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:10.890 work? It's very simple. You agree to go back 00:18:10.890 --> 00:18:15.349 for the express purpose of rectifying an unfortunate 00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:19.349 action that you committed under stress You are 00:18:19.349 --> 00:18:23.829 given an opportunity to do it and then Do I come 00:18:23.829 --> 00:18:28.569 back here? to the present set That's difficult 00:18:28.569 --> 00:18:35.490 to say You're going back there Here won't happen 00:18:35.490 --> 00:18:41.049 for another 21 years so Where here is going to 00:18:41.049 --> 00:18:45.170 be will depend on the new life you'd make for 00:18:45.170 --> 00:18:53.390 yourself What have I got to lose my wonderful 00:18:53.390 --> 00:18:59.569 job this beautiful apartment my intelligent husband 00:18:59.569 --> 00:19:05.730 I'm ready. Oh wait a caution If you don't put 00:19:05.730 --> 00:19:07.890 that money back. Oh, how can you even bring that 00:19:07.890 --> 00:19:09.750 up? That's what I'm going back there for, isn't 00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:12.170 it? Well, I would just like to warn. You don't 00:19:12.170 --> 00:19:13.970 have to warn me about anything you just sold 00:19:13.970 --> 00:19:18.349 me. Now, how do we do it? Oh, listen to me. I 00:19:18.349 --> 00:19:21.769 must be crazy. I really believe what you're saying. 00:19:21.809 --> 00:19:26.170 Now that you understand, come with me. Where? 00:19:26.809 --> 00:19:30.849 For a walk. At this hour? When we get downstairs, 00:19:31.670 --> 00:19:34.579 it won't be this hour. But I'm not dressed to 00:19:34.579 --> 00:19:38.759 go working. You're not dressed for 21 years ago 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.019 either. But don't worry. It will all adjust itself. 00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:50.539 Come. But I... Well? Harold. He'll come back. 00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:54.579 He'll worry. No, he won't. Once you walk out 00:19:54.579 --> 00:20:00.000 of here, this place no longer exists. I'm scared. 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:05.369 That's perfectly natural. Don't be afraid.

It's daylight. How did it get to be daylight? 00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:30.029 It was just 9 .30 at night. How did it get to 00:20:30.029 --> 00:20:34.200 be... Now don't be alarmed, please. But look 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.259 at the cars, look at them. Those cars are 20 00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:40.019 years old. All those cars. They're brand new. 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.259 And they're Snyder's. That's Snyder's coffee 00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:44.940 shop across the street. We used to go there for 00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:47.700 lunch. All of us from the office. But they tore 00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:49.980 it down. Ten years ago they built a new - You've 00:20:49.980 --> 00:20:54.259 gone back, Dottie. Don't you understand? You're 00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:58.519 not Dottie Malloy. You're still Dottie Sandy. 00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:02.579 And look at my dress. In these shoes. I threw 00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:06.259 these out long ago. No, no, I didn't. I remember... 00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:11.160 You wanted to go back, Dottie. You're back. Yeah, 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.099 I feel so... Young? Yes, that's it.

Why do I know 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.240 that? Because you're not all the way back yet. 00:21:26.299 --> 00:21:30.019 Until that money is returned to the safe. Your 00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:32.500 new life hasn't really begun. Well, then let 00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:35.000 me go and return it. What are we waiting for? 00:21:35.059 --> 00:21:38.559 It's only 930 in the morning. You have to wait 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:43.740 till 9 o 'clock tonight. Oh. Well, what am I 00:21:43.740 --> 00:21:47.079 going to do until then? Go through the day. Just 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:50.640 as you did last time.

Well, it's very expensive. 00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:57.740 It's only money, and that's all you need to eat 00:25:57.740 --> 00:26:00.420 here. Actually, it's all you need to go anywhere, 00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.339 do anything. Money. Well, I never had any money. 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.279 I never did either, but I'm going to. I'm not 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:09.460 going to be a salesman all my life. I intend 00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:12.140 to own a place. Oh, sure. I have plenty of good 00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:15.279 locations, and I know how to sell. Yeah, you 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.160 do have a wonderful personality, Harold. No reason 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.690 why I shouldn't be on my own. Well, there is 00:26:21.690 --> 00:26:24.349 a reason. What's that? Well, you can even sing 00:26:24.349 --> 00:26:28.690 it. Do, re, mi. Yes, indeed, Dottie. The good 00:26:28.690 --> 00:26:32.710 old cabbage leaves. Yeah, that's a shame. All 00:26:32.710 --> 00:26:35.210 it takes is a few thousand, five, six maybe to 00:26:35.210 --> 00:26:38.269 get set up. Well, let's enjoy the here and now. 00:26:38.630 --> 00:26:41.089 Why don't you try the rack of lamb? Where is 00:26:41.089 --> 00:26:45.609 it? Oh Harold, that cost $12. It's delicious. 00:26:45.710 --> 00:26:47.569 I'm gonna have it. Yeah, well, 12 for you and 00:26:47.569 --> 00:26:51.799 12 for me. Just for lunch it adds up to it adds 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:57.400 up to zero dotty 12 and 12 are zero what? What 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.480 did you say nothing? No, what did you say? About 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:07.079 12 and 12. I said 12 and 12 add up to zero 12 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.599 left 12 right And around a zero twice. What do 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:18.500 you say daddy? What do we see? Nothing nothing 00:27:20.029 --> 00:27:24.130 But I think I will have the rack of lamb after 00:27:24.130 --> 00:27:27.509 all great did you ever have it before sure once 00:27:27.509 --> 00:27:32.230 where here? Here I thought you said you never 00:27:32.230 --> 00:27:37.569 ate here Well, I did And I didn't how you say 00:27:37.569 --> 00:27:41.170 the craziest thing. I know I think that's why 00:27:41.170 --> 00:27:45.349 I I fall in love with you How was the rack of 00:27:45.349 --> 00:27:48.250 lamb? It's not so hot. Well in that case, let's 00:27:48.250 --> 00:27:52.519 not have it. No We must. What are you saying? 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:58.519 I'm saying we can't change anything. Just yet. 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.960 So far, it's all on schedule. The day runs its 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.420 course just as it did 21 years ago. Dottie was 00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:13.519 late to work. She overheard the boss muttering 00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:15.700 the combination of the office safe. She stole 00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:19.319 her best friend's boyfriend. Stole may be a harsh 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:23.359 word, but here we deal in reality Reality so 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:27.279 real that they can be considered fantastic We'll 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:29.900 find out how she handles the rest of the day 00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:44.039 when I return shortly with act 3 Sometimes you 00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.500 get a chance to do it all over again Sometimes. 00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:51.119 And you know exactly how to handle the situation 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.460 this time. There's absolutely no way to commit 00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:58.160 that fatal blunder. Because this time, you are 00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:03.160 forewarned. Forearmed. You have foresight. How 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:10.579 could you possibly do it wrong? Hello, Harold? 00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:15.920 No, it isn't Harold. Mr. Croppenter? Well, Harold... 00:29:15.950 --> 00:29:19.549 was supposed to call me. He did last time. And 00:29:19.549 --> 00:29:23.190 he will again. And will I go to dinner with him? 00:29:23.430 --> 00:29:27.109 Yes. And do I have to go through that situation 00:29:27.109 --> 00:29:30.630 with Jane again? You know you do. And then you 00:29:30.630 --> 00:29:34.769 must come back here too. Yes, I know. And I will. 00:29:35.490 --> 00:29:38.150 The only reason I called was to wish you luck. 00:29:38.769 --> 00:29:45.890 I don't need any luck. And I have every intention 00:29:45.890 --> 00:29:48.710 of doing it. I'd better hang up, because even 00:29:48.710 --> 00:29:52.349 now Harold is dialing you a number to ask you 00:29:52.349 --> 00:30:03.690 to dinner. Goodbye, Daddy. Mike, from ramelletties 00:30:03.690 --> 00:30:06.650 to Snyders all in one day. I have to admit the 00:30:06.650 --> 00:30:08.789 food's much cheaper here. Yeah, well, I think 00:30:08.789 --> 00:30:11.349 it's better. No, I have to improve your taste. 00:30:11.529 --> 00:30:15.559 Harold. What were you saying about going into 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.680 business? Was I saying anything about... Yeah, 00:30:18.980 --> 00:30:22.720 at lunch. Oh, I always talk that way. It's just 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:24.880 talk. Where could I ever get the kind of money 00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.099 it takes to... Well, you could save it. I don't 00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:29.460 make enough. Well, still, you could put it aside. 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.000 Oh, sure, but you have to be the saving kind, 00:30:33.140 --> 00:30:36.140 and that's just not me. Yeah, but if you did 00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:39.339 have the money... Well, just suppose. You mean, 00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:41.480 like, just suppose the moon is made out of green 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.420 cheese? No, suppose. If I had it? Oh, that'd 00:30:44.420 --> 00:30:47.460 be a brand new ball game. I'd open my own store. 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:50.039 I know what styles to buy. I know how to handle 00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.740 my customers. Oh, Dottie, I could make a fortune. 00:30:52.859 --> 00:30:55.339 I believe you would. Well, look, I don't do too 00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:57.460 badly. Now I'm still the best salesman Old Man 00:30:57.460 --> 00:31:01.880 Westing has. I make enough to... To what? Well, 00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:04.000 listen to me. I have no trouble selling the suited 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.859 clothes, but I have all kinds of trouble selling 00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:12.359 myself. Well, don't oversell, Harold. Huh? I 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:16.279 mean, you just about closed the deal. Dottie? 00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:18.839 No, no, don't. Don't kiss me, Harold, please. 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.420 But don't you realize what you just said? Yeah. 00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.819 Yeah, I know. But first, I have to talk to Jane. 00:31:28.900 --> 00:31:33.359 Jane? Why? Well, because she... Dottie, I just 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:35.880 dated Jane now and then. I never gave her any 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.019 reason to think that... Well, I'm sure you didn't, 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:39.960 but she seems to think so, and that's the same 00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:44.039 thing. But look... No, no. I really feel I owe 00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:52.099 her an explanation. I thought you were my friend. 00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:55.259 Jane. Yeah, yeah, I see it all now. Jane, there 00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:58.759 isn't anything to see except the truth. We just 00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:00.859 happened to fall in love with each other. Oh, 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.019 take him. Take him in good riddance. He's just 00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:05.740 a phony. Big, good -looking, but not afraid in 00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:07.819 his head. You'll never get anywhere. I'll never 00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:10.839 be anybody, and you'll never have anything. You'll 00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:13.359 wind up supporting him. Oh, no, Jane. It's for 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.819 the best. I know it's for the best. You don't 00:32:16.819 --> 00:32:21.339 see it now, but you will later. I never want 00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:23.519 to see you again now. Don't stand there. Get 00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:27.880 out. All right, Jane. All right. Daddy? Daddy? 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:35.240 Please? For your own sake, give him back to me. 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:38.220 How do you look at you? So pretty and so smart. 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.299 You could do so much better than Harold. Don't 00:32:42.299 --> 00:32:46.240 let him ruin your life. Me? What's the matter? 00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:50.819 I know. I'm just playing Jane. He's good enough 00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:55.720 for me, but he's not good enough for you. I know. 00:32:56.460 --> 00:33:02.359 You know? Well then, why? I can't... Helped it, 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:13.880 Jane. I can't help it. Did you tell her? Yes, 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:18.960 I told her. Was it bad? Yeah, it was pretty bad. 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:23.920 I'm sorry. Well, it's nobody's fault. Well, look, 00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:26.339 it's still early enough. How about a movie? Harold? 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.349 Harold, could you... Really make a go of it? 00:33:32.009 --> 00:33:35.549 Make a go of what? Your own business. Sure, but 00:33:35.549 --> 00:33:38.450 that's just a wild dream. The wildest dreams 00:33:38.450 --> 00:33:42.349 can come true. We're so serious tonight. Let's 00:33:42.349 --> 00:33:44.630 see a funny movie. Harold, could you make a go 00:33:44.630 --> 00:33:48.670 of your own business? I have to know. The answer 00:33:48.670 --> 00:33:51.369 is sure. I could make a million bucks. All I 00:33:51.369 --> 00:33:54.190 need is the chance. Now, how about that movie? 00:33:54.309 --> 00:34:06.029 No. I want to go home. I have a headache. Sure, 00:34:06.549 --> 00:34:08.949 you just want to go to sleep? Yeah, I'm sure. 00:34:09.250 --> 00:34:11.630 It's been such a great day. I hate to see it 00:34:11.630 --> 00:34:15.309 end. Well, I guess I'm just overly excited. After 00:34:15.309 --> 00:34:18.250 all, a girl doesn't get a proposal every day. 00:34:18.849 --> 00:34:21.570 Why don't I come by for you in the morning? We'll 00:34:21.570 --> 00:34:24.349 have breakfast and lunch and dinner. And maybe 00:34:24.349 --> 00:34:26.920 in between we can get married. And very soon, 00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:29.460 I want my family to come in from the west coast. 00:34:29.739 --> 00:34:32.940 I'll be by biting early in the a .m. Are you 00:34:32.940 --> 00:34:36.440 happy? Yes, yes. You're beautiful, Dottie. See 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:53.480 ya, Angel. Taxi! Taxi! Would you take me to the 00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.639 Waterfield Prentice Building? Twelfth in main. 00:35:02.460 --> 00:35:07.559 Twelve right. Twelve left. And around to zero. 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:15.619 Twice. And I'm right. It opens. What are you 00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:19.159 doing at the safe, Dotty? Jerry? Oh, Jerry, you 00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:24.190 scared me. Well, you see, uh... Mr. Waterfield 00:35:24.190 --> 00:35:27.090 called and asked me if I could take this money 00:35:27.090 --> 00:35:30.650 to... Now, that ain't so, Dottie. He didn't ask 00:35:30.650 --> 00:35:33.070 you nothing of the sort. But I did. He did. Besides, 00:35:33.590 --> 00:35:36.409 you ain't supposed to know the combination. How'd 00:35:36.409 --> 00:35:38.849 you happen to learn the combination? Well, I... 00:35:38.849 --> 00:35:41.750 I... I... Well, what's the difference? You're 00:35:41.750 --> 00:35:44.210 tempted. I can understand that, Dottie. Jerry, 00:35:44.530 --> 00:35:47.730 I need this money. It's not just for me. It's 00:35:47.730 --> 00:35:50.650 to help somebody. And it's only $20 ,000. What 00:35:50.650 --> 00:35:53.550 does $20 ,000 mean to Old Man Waterfield? Listen 00:35:53.550 --> 00:35:56.349 to me, Jerry. I'll give you some of it. Here, 00:35:56.650 --> 00:36:00.010 take $5 ,000. No, Dotty. Why don't we split it? 00:36:00.289 --> 00:36:03.750 Put the money back. Lock the safe. And we'll 00:36:03.750 --> 00:36:06.730 both forget about tonight. No. I'm taking this 00:36:06.730 --> 00:36:09.269 money. Put it back, Dotty. Well, of course. Of 00:36:09.269 --> 00:36:12.010 course I'll put it back. Oh, you're talking sample. 00:36:12.010 --> 00:36:13.889 After all, that's what I came back here for. 00:36:13.989 --> 00:36:16.130 You'll be happier in the long run. That's the 00:36:16.130 --> 00:36:18.010 kind of money that never brings anything good. 00:36:18.300 --> 00:36:21.119 This way, you'll always have your peace of mind. 00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:24.400 Sure, sure. You're being smart, Dotty. Jerry, 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.260 listen to me. I'm not really going to take this 00:36:28.260 --> 00:36:32.380 money. No? No. I'm just going to borrow it. And 00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:34.239 you're right, I was a stupid immature kid that 00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.300 time, that last time. But not this time, Jerry. 00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:41.920 This time. Do you know what I know? No. No, listen, 00:36:42.059 --> 00:36:45.480 Dotty. This time, I know all the stocks that 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:48.429 are going to go up. All the horses that are going 00:36:48.429 --> 00:36:52.409 to win. Listen, this year, this year, the Sox 00:36:52.409 --> 00:36:54.610 are going to win the pennant. No, I know you're 00:36:54.610 --> 00:36:56.130 crazy. The Sox are going to come from nowhere 00:36:56.130 --> 00:36:58.570 to win it 100 to 1. Doddy, you're out of your 00:36:58.570 --> 00:37:00.530 mind. And sweet reward is going to win the Derby. 00:37:00.969 --> 00:37:02.929 And there's a stock Midwest deal. If you get 00:37:02.929 --> 00:37:05.949 in on it right now. Jerry, I know so many things. 00:37:06.469 --> 00:37:08.469 Doddy, just put the money back. Yeah, I will, 00:37:08.630 --> 00:37:10.670 Jerry, I will. Right now? No, not right now. 00:37:10.809 --> 00:37:13.199 Tomorrow. I just want to borrow it for one day. 00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:15.800 Please, Dotty. I don't want you to get into trouble. 00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.260 I need the cash. Just for a few hours. Jerry, 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.000 you and I will be millionaires. Please trust 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:23.780 me. Believe me. Put it back, Dotty. Get out of 00:37:23.780 --> 00:37:26.389 my way. I'll have to report you. I'm not stealing 00:37:26.389 --> 00:37:28.989 it. I'll put it back tomorrow. Tomorrow night, 00:37:29.110 --> 00:37:31.750 you'll see. Donnie, right now. There's no harm, 00:37:31.849 --> 00:37:34.289 Donnie. Let go of me. Please, Donnie, I'm trying 00:37:34.289 --> 00:37:36.530 to help you. Don't get your hands off me. I have 00:37:36.530 --> 00:37:39.989 to stop you, Donnie. I'm not stealing this money. 00:37:40.090 --> 00:37:41.929 Don't you understand? I'm not stealing it.

Jerry, I have this gift. I can see into 00:37:52.909 --> 00:37:56.710 the future. You'd be able to retire. Put it, 00:37:56.750 --> 00:38:00.070 put it back. I will, I will. My heart.

Please don't die. Jerry. I'm afraid he's 00:38:15.210 --> 00:38:22.150 dead. Mr. Carpenter. Yes. Mr. Carpenter. Well, 00:38:22.150 --> 00:38:24.510 I didn't kill him. He died of a heart attack. 00:38:24.690 --> 00:38:28.349 You saw it? Yes, I saw and I heard everything. 00:38:29.829 --> 00:38:32.530 Well now we take a dim view of this sort of thing 00:38:32.530 --> 00:38:36.369 at Opportunities Unlimited. We do indeed. But 00:38:36.369 --> 00:38:37.929 don't you see what I was trying to do for him? 00:38:38.389 --> 00:38:41.730 Give him an opportunity to better himself. But 00:38:41.730 --> 00:38:45.869 that was not our agreement. You had agreed to 00:38:45.869 --> 00:38:51.269 put the money back. What? What are you going 00:38:51.269 --> 00:38:59.090 to do? To me. I won't do anything to you. I'll 00:38:59.090 --> 00:39:01.469 put the money back, right now. Where will you 00:39:01.469 --> 00:39:05.690 put it? In the safe, on the wall. In which safe? 00:39:05.849 --> 00:39:11.409 On what wall? It's dark. How did it get so dark? 00:39:12.190 --> 00:39:14.670 What happened to the light? No, you can keep 00:39:14.670 --> 00:39:19.639 the money. I can keep the money. Certainly. For 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.519 all the good it will do you oh, it'll do me plenty 00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:26.239 of good now now I know how to use it. I can do 00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:29.699 things that Where are the lights the light? Yes, 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.179 where are the lights? Yeah, what's that noise 00:39:32.179 --> 00:39:36.920 the lights as you know? They won't be invented 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:42.039 for at least a thousand years The noise where 00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:47.639 am I? Where am I I would say? You're on the southern 00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:55.079 coast of England. The year is 874. How could 00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:00.260 I go back to 874? You're hiding in a tiny hut. 00:40:00.900 --> 00:40:05.519 The noise is that of a Viking raid. The village 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:09.539 is burned, looted. There's quite a bit of murder, 00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:13.380 robbery, rape. Why? What are you saying? That's 00:40:13.380 --> 00:40:17.179 how things were in those days. Besides, why worry? 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.519 You have money. Those 50 little pieces of green 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:26.059 paper. Will they kill me? I don't know. Oh, please. 00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:29.280 Please, Mr. Carpenter. They don't kill everybody. 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:35.480 And you've got $20 ,000 in good American money. 00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.659 Oh, please, please, please save me. You're right 00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:42.800 outside. You've got $20 ,000, buddy. Please. 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:48.889 Let's see. You buy your way out of this. No! 00:40:55.449 --> 00:40:58.730 Dottie was lucky in one sense. The chief of the 00:40:58.730 --> 00:41:02.309 Viking Raiders was Eric the Red. He had an eye 00:41:02.309 --> 00:41:05.389 for pretty ladies. So instead of killing her, 00:41:05.650 --> 00:41:09.730 he kept her for himself. So, basic relationships 00:41:09.730 --> 00:41:13.110 didn't really change. Instead of keeping house 00:41:13.110 --> 00:41:16.170 for Harold Malloy, she kept house for Eric the 00:41:16.170 --> 00:41:19.969 Red. And talking about houses, don't you leave 00:41:19.969 --> 00:41:34.389 the house till I come back shortly. Can you go 00:41:34.389 --> 00:41:38.230 all the way back and forth in time before you 00:41:38.230 --> 00:41:43.639 answer no, consider. all of you have already 00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:48.480 done it. How, you ask? Well, don't you set your 00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:52.460 clocks for daylight savings time? Ah, but that's 00:41:52.460 --> 00:41:57.440 only an hour, sure. But it's the principle. Remember, 00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.900 the greatest oak was once a tiny acorn. Our cast 00:42:01.900 --> 00:42:04.480 included Mercedes McCambridge, Patricia Wheel, 00:42:04.900 --> 00:42:08.619 Robert Maxwell, and Leon Gianni. The entire production 00:42:08.619 --> 00:42:11.800 was under the direction of Hyman Brown. This 00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:14.380 is E .G. Marshall inviting you to return to our 00:42:14.380 --> 00:42:17.480 mystery theater for another adventure in the 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:23.179 macabre. Until next time, pleasant dreams.
