It has been said that a 00:00:33.369 --> 00:00:37.149 man who tries to please two women Satisfies neither 00:00:37.149 --> 00:00:41.990 and succeeds only in vexing himself So many men 00:00:41.990 --> 00:00:44.229 have heard of this most prudent and profitable 00:00:44.229 --> 00:00:48.250 advice Indeed, they acknowledge it. They agree 00:00:48.250 --> 00:00:52.270 with it. They even respect it. Why don't they 00:00:52.270 --> 00:01:02.799 follow it? Such a lovely night The sea is so 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.459 calm. There isn't a soul in sight for miles around. 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.980 Yes. It's as if we own the entire world and we're 00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:15.159 all alone in it. Yes. You know, on a night like 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.760 this, problems seem so far away. We have no problems. 00:01:20.299 --> 00:01:24.879 We don't. I do. What's your problem, darling? 00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:29.060 It's not what. It's who. Well then, who is your 00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:34.120 problem? You are, my dear. Me? What kind of problem 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.040 did I bother to be? A problem I must get rid 00:01:38.040 --> 00:02:03.950 of. mystery drama too many women can kill you 00:02:03.950 --> 00:02:06.250 was written especially for the mystery theater 00:02:06.250 --> 00:02:10.569 by Sam Dan and stars Larry Haynes I'll be back 00:02:10.569 --> 00:02:25.210 shortly with act one. it was Sigmund Freud the 00:02:25.210 --> 00:02:29.069 master himself who said the great question which 00:02:29.069 --> 00:02:31.960 I have not been able to answer Despite my 30 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.539 years of research into the feminine soul is what 00:02:35.539 --> 00:02:39.919 does a woman want? Well such a question may have 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.800 disturbed the immortal doctor but not the man 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.379 you were about to meet His name is Silas Cunningham 00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:48.879 and if you were to ask him, what does a woman 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.979 want? Silas Cunningham would look at you in all 00:02:51.979 --> 00:02:55.219 sincerity and say well every woman I've ever 00:02:55.219 --> 00:03:00.939 met has always wanted me and It's evidently true. 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.060 Because there is one woman who wants Silas forever. 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.520 Even after she's dead. Go in with her now, Silas. 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.020 Is she a better doctor? No. But Dr. Pierce... 00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:22.439 Go see her now. While you can. Silas?

Well, hear me, but you'll hear me. 00:03:59.310 --> 00:04:03.069 You believe that, don't you? Don't you? Yes, 00:04:03.110 --> 00:04:06.949 yes, I believe it. Darling, we love each other 00:04:06.949 --> 00:04:12.169 so much. We will not... We refuse to be parted, 00:04:12.449 --> 00:04:17.370 even by death. Hold my hand. My darling Joy. 00:04:17.529 --> 00:04:22.170 I'll come back to you, Silas. I'll never leave 00:04:22.170 --> 00:04:42.300 you. I'll never leave... Dr. Pearson! Hello, 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.759 Marilyn. I was asleep. At work. I'd be stood 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.480 up. Now, when did I ever break a date with you, 00:04:47.579 --> 00:04:49.879 darling? Why, you're late. I didn't take the 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.779 early train to town. Why not? Well, I begin each 00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:58.220 day with a visit to Julia's grave. Really, sir? 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.860 Yes, I arrive each morning at nine and sit, and 00:05:02.860 --> 00:05:10.370 now I... And do what? Meditate. You're such a 00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:13.949 fraud. Darling, how can you say that? I suppose 00:05:13.949 --> 00:05:16.569 everyone in the village knows about it. Oh, yes, 00:05:16.649 --> 00:05:19.769 yes. The talk of the town seems to be how grief 00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:24.189 -stricken I am. You have absolutely no moral. 00:05:24.269 --> 00:05:27.910 But it's true, dear. I am grief -stricken. After 00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:31.529 the way she drove you crazy? Oh, was all that 00:05:31.529 --> 00:05:36.779 just... Oh, Julia was alright, in her way. She 00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:39.720 made very few demands of me. If it weren't for 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.360 that occult nonsense she was all wrapped up in, 00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:53.259 I could have even been happy. Well, when very 00:05:53.259 --> 00:05:56.779 rich wives die young, certain nasty -minded, 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.660 suspicious persons may begin to formulate all 00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:04.170 sorts of evil thoughts. Hmm. I understand. And 00:06:04.170 --> 00:06:07.069 so for a year or so, there should be a show of 00:06:07.069 --> 00:06:10.430 decorum. I still have the apartment. But there's 00:06:10.430 --> 00:06:12.550 no reason why we shouldn't enjoy the estate. 00:06:13.449 --> 00:06:16.509 Boating, tennis, so much to do. Darling, I want 00:06:16.509 --> 00:06:18.610 you out there. But doesn't that go against it? 00:06:18.610 --> 00:06:22.470 No. No, no, because you see, I decided to write 00:06:22.470 --> 00:06:25.490 a book. Book? Yes, and I'll need an editorial 00:06:25.490 --> 00:06:28.629 assistant. You're going to write a book? About 00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:34.579 what? About the occult. The supernatural. The 00:06:34.579 --> 00:06:38.360 very strong possibilities of communication with 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.300 the dead. But you know as well as I do that that's 00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:45.839 all nonsense. Please, dear. This book is to be 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.680 dedicated to the memory of my beloved wife. Simon. 00:06:48.779 --> 00:06:52.699 Now, you have had considerable experience in 00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:55.019 the publishing field. You were Julia's very best 00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:59.100 friend. And besides, as far as outward appearances 00:06:59.100 --> 00:07:04.009 go... We shall be impeccably chaperoned. By who? 00:07:04.389 --> 00:07:07.769 By the redonable Mrs. Watson herself. I shall 00:07:07.769 --> 00:07:10.589 ask her to stay on as housekeeper. Mrs. Watson? 00:07:10.769 --> 00:07:13.370 Mm -hmm. Madame Hatchet, they say. My darling, 00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:16.250 she radiates respectability from every poor. 00:07:16.930 --> 00:07:21.430 When do I report for duty? Saturday. Oh, when 00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:23.110 you're ready, I'll have Hastings drive into town 00:07:23.110 --> 00:07:27.970 and pick you up. Well, here's to the book. And, 00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:39.069 uh... Mr. Cunningham, I brought you some nice 00:07:39.069 --> 00:07:43.750 hot tea. Oh, come now. You must have something. 00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:47.750 Look, I know how you feel. Everyone knew. It 00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:51.129 was a real love match. You and that wonderful 00:07:51.129 --> 00:07:54.889 lady, Mr. So. But would Julia Cunningham want 00:07:54.889 --> 00:07:59.209 you to despair like this? Thank you, Mrs. Watson. 00:07:59.970 --> 00:08:03.009 What would I do without you? Good evening, Silas. 00:08:03.430 --> 00:08:06.610 Oh, Dr. Pearson. You want to fetch me a cup of 00:08:06.610 --> 00:08:09.589 that tea, Miss Watson? Yes, doctor. Thank you. 00:08:10.649 --> 00:08:14.449 Mrs. Watson says you don't eat. Thought I'd stop 00:08:14.449 --> 00:08:16.430 by to see if you're all right. No, I'm fine. 00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:20.490 I'm worried about you. Me? Your marriage was 00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:23.850 something special, Silas. Well, every marriage 00:08:23.850 --> 00:08:27.740 is special. You and Julia. No two people ever 00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:32.000 seemed to be more close more content more in 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.399 love She was everything to me doctor everything 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.879 in a marriage like yours when one partner goes 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.360 Sometimes the other one loses all interest in 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.279 life Now don't let it happen to you Silas. I 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.120 don't care much about anything right now doctor 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.000 get hold of yourself Know that your mind wander 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.200 don't shut yourself away Life must go on and 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.860 it can be quite a life for you. She came into 00:08:57.860 --> 00:09:00.860 all her money last year. You know, I'd get every 00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:04.860 penny to bring her back. Yeah, you would. That's 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:07.860 what worries me. What are you saying, Doctor? 00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:12.539 Julia was very much taken with the idea of being 00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:14.860 able to communicate with the dead. That was a 00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:17.940 very sincere belief. I'm sure you discussed it. 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.080 Even decided that in the event one of you died, 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.879 there'd be an attempt at communication. from 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:28.019 beyond the grave. Doctor, this is a very personal 00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:31.860 and private matter between Julia and me. I notice 00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:37.179 you say is instead of was. I'd rather we don't 00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:40.399 discuss it. In those final feverish moments, 00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:42.860 she talked about it. She said - I know what she 00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:46.259 said. She said her spirit would always be in 00:09:46.259 --> 00:09:47.960 her room. Doctor, why do you insist on - Because 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.500 it's hokum. Sane, sensible people know these 00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:53.750 things simply can't happen, period. Well, don't 00:09:53.750 --> 00:09:57.370 you worry about it. I worry because in this world 00:09:57.370 --> 00:09:59.950 there are all sorts of unscrupulous confidence 00:09:59.950 --> 00:10:03.190 operators who prey upon vulnerable people. People 00:10:03.190 --> 00:10:06.210 like you. Well, I can take care of myself. You're 00:10:06.210 --> 00:10:10.990 right, Dr. Pearson. Well, one thing's in your 00:10:10.990 --> 00:10:14.570 favor. Mrs. Watson's staying on, and she's the 00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:18.009 most level -headed person I know. Mrs. Watson, 00:10:18.610 --> 00:10:20.929 can I depend on you to keep Mr. Cunningham here 00:10:20.929 --> 00:10:23.409 out of trouble? Yes, doctor. You can depend on 00:10:23.409 --> 00:10:38.889 it. And you can depend on me. Mr. Cunningham, 00:10:39.269 --> 00:10:44.850 I... I've got a bead on them now. Darn, I missed 00:10:44.850 --> 00:10:49.070 them again. Oh, man. It's too nice a day to hit 00:10:49.070 --> 00:10:51.620 anything anyhow. I just... I feel like making 00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:54.059 some noise in the woods. Mr. Cunningham... What 00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:56.840 is it, Hastings? I don't know. I've got to talk 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.000 to you. I mean, I don't know what... Why don't 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.879 we start at the beginning, Hastings? Yes, sir. 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.259 Look, you know what's just happened to me, Mr. 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.080 Cunningham? No. What happened? Well, I've been 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.740 fired. Fired? How could you be fired? That's 00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:13.679 what I can't figure. Well, who in the world could 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.159 have fired you, Hastings? Only the Iron Pants. 00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:19.559 I mean, Mrs. Watson. Well, why? Well, I don't 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.720 know. She comes up to me and she says, Hastings, 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.740 you're finished. Here's your money. Get out of 00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:26.799 here. Just like that. Well, I don't understand 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.600 why. Well, she figures with Mrs. Cunningham passed 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.139 away, she can rule the roost, you know what I 00:11:33.139 --> 00:11:36.840 mean? She's always had it in for me anyhow. Why, 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.340 Hastings? I guess I'd pop off about her. Pop 00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:44.519 off? How? Well, I was only kidding, but it was 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:52.360 about sex. Oh, come on now, Hastings. Why would 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.679 anyone talk that way with Mrs. Watson? Why, she 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.100 must be at least, uh, well, at least, uh... Yeah? 00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:01.659 How old do you think she is? Only 50s. Even 60 00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:05.139 may be over. Next time, take a good look. She 00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:08.559 ain't even 40 yet. And she's been a widow 18 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.879 years. Well, I'm sure we can adjust the matter. 00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:14.600 Well, I told her to go soak her head. I told 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.029 her Mr. Cunningham hired me. Therefore, only 00:12:18.029 --> 00:12:21.409 Mr. Cunningham can find me. Is that right? Yes, 00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:24.230 Hastings. That's right. You'll go back to the 00:12:24.230 --> 00:12:27.610 garage. You'll have to go to the city this afternoon. 00:12:35.029 --> 00:12:37.169 If I'm to perform my duties in a satisfactory 00:12:37.169 --> 00:12:40.070 manner, I must have the right to hire and fire 00:12:40.070 --> 00:12:42.450 Mr. Cunningham. Yes, yes, of course, Mrs. Watson. 00:12:42.470 --> 00:12:44.799 It's just that... Hastings has been with us for 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.700 such a long time. I dismissed him for good cause. 00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:52.299 He's a thief. A thief? I found out. He's been 00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.960 getting together with some of the service places 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.759 in town. We've been paying bills for repairs 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.059 that were never made. For gasoline that we never 00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:02.600 bought. Oh? Are you sure? I'm positive. The sooner 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.580 he's off the premises, the better for all concerns. 00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:07.240 Well, it's just that I, uh... I would want him 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.919 to drive into the city this afternoon. Oh, yes. 00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:13.120 Yes, I'm expecting a call from, uh... from, uh... 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.559 Mrs. Raulston. Marilyn Raulston, of course. She 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.700 called while you were out shooting. Oh, did she 00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:20.440 say what time she wants to be picked up? If we 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.480 fire Hastings, I'll drive in myself. That won't 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.039 be necessary, Mr. Cunningham. What do you mean? 00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:29.059 She isn't coming out this afternoon. Oh, something 00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:31.639 the matter? Or any afternoon for that matter. 00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:35.759 Why? Did she suddenly change her mind? No. But 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:40.360 I told her that you had changed yours. What are 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:43.080 you... Talking about Mrs. Watson, I never told 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.200 you I changed my... It wasn't necessary for you 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:49.639 to tell me, sir. I acted in your best interests. 00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:53.080 Mrs. Watson, I'm very capable of determining 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.980 my best interests, and furthermore... Yes, Mr. 00:13:57.139 --> 00:14:02.399 Cunningham? What are you staring at? That, uh... 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.960 That bracelet. Yes, this bracelet. How dare you, 00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:08.629 Mrs. Watson! That was my wife's bracelet! I know. 00:14:08.649 --> 00:14:10.190 Well, what right do you have to wear it? She 00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:13.850 told me I could have it. She whispered it to 00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:15.889 me. Well, that's a lie. The day she died. It 00:14:15.889 --> 00:14:19.169 isn't true. The day she died of, uh, oh, what 00:14:19.169 --> 00:14:23.929 could Dr. Pearson say, an infection? Nobody questioned 00:14:23.929 --> 00:14:27.730 dear Dr. Pearson's diagnosis. How fortunate he 00:14:27.730 --> 00:14:30.850 signed the death certificate without questioning 00:14:30.850 --> 00:14:33.570 it himself. You couldn't prove anything. Of course 00:14:33.570 --> 00:14:37.169 not. I couldn't prove anything, but if they were 00:14:37.169 --> 00:14:42.639 to ex - the body and perform certain tests but 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.299 they would never do it unless someone suggested 00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:51.919 it strongly and as of right now I don't plan 00:14:51.919 --> 00:15:01.179 to suggest it well there you are you get what 00:15:01.179 --> 00:15:03.639 you consider to be the perfect setup for the 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.519 perfect murder you get rid of a woman who is 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.759 a thorn in your side Only to discover you've 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.460 just acquired one who could be a rope around 00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:16.399 your neck The rope either gets tightened or loosened 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:32.019 when I return shortly with act two On her deathbed 00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:34.960 Julia Cunningham promised her husband Silas she 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.320 would communicate with him from the other world 00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:40.419 However, it now develops that Silas may have 00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:42.860 more trouble than he can handle in this world. 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.519 It seems that Mrs. Watson, the faithful housekeeper, 00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:49.600 has discovered that Silas had actually hastened 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.519 Julia's exit from what is sometimes described 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:57.039 as this veil of tears. Mrs. Watson, what makes 00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.279 you think I would have something to fear from 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.539 an autopsy? Isn't it obvious? Isn't what obvious? 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.519 The situation we find ourselves in. Now, if you 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.159 didn't fear an autopsy... This bracelet would 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:10.539 be off my arm, you'd fire me on the spot, and 00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:16.240 I would be out on my ear. Now, I know. Just what 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.539 do you know? I know I was right about the bottle 00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:22.100 of poison. What bottle of poison? Oh, come, sir. 00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:26.179 It was in your room. I made a few discreet inquiries. 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.120 I learned from a doctor that small, steady doses 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.960 could produce symptoms which might appear to 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.279 indicate an intestinal infection, and it would 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:39.419 be treated as such. until suddenly the patient 00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:43.080 would die. Incidentally, that doctor was not 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.840 Dr. Pearson. And just how would I be implicated? 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.259 Well, if I were to voice my suspicions strenuously 00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:54.940 enough, and if the coroner should find poison... 00:16:54.940 --> 00:17:00.240 Oh, I see. Isn't it your duty as a reputable 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.140 citizen to report this? Yes, it is. Why haven't 00:17:04.140 --> 00:17:08.059 you done so? I could set in motion a chain of 00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:10.859 events that could place you on a scaffold or 00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:14.880 in a prison for life. And I asked myself, what 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:20.519 would be in all this for me? Well, the satisfaction 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:22.960 that you had performed your duty as a responsible 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.940 citizen of a democracy. I've been doing that 00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:28.200 all my life and I have very little to show for 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:33.859 it. And so I said to myself, Vera? A wager you 00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:36.440 didn't know my first name was Vera. Well, to 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.279 be honest, I didn't even know you had a first 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.519 name. That's true. To you, I've always been the 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:46.039 invisible Mrs. Watson. And so, for the first 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.819 time in my life, I did something different, unusual, 00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:51.960 unprecedented. And what was that? Well, once 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.660 I thought about me, my own welfare. You see, 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.380 Mr. Cunningham, you had committed the perfect 00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:01.740 crime. Well, how? You seem to have detected it. 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:06.710 Oh, the key element. Dr. Pearson. Old, fumbling, 00:18:07.089 --> 00:18:09.390 super -annuated Dr. Pearson. Well, he's not all 00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:12.490 that incompetent. Oh, no. He's merely obsolete. 00:18:12.890 --> 00:18:15.750 And you counted on that. You counted on him accepting 00:18:15.750 --> 00:18:18.589 your wife's death as a purely natural event and 00:18:18.589 --> 00:18:22.289 getting a death certificate without an autopsy. 00:18:24.430 --> 00:18:27.170 Well, Mrs. Watson, now what? I assume you intend 00:18:27.170 --> 00:18:29.430 to blackmail me. Well, that's a harsh word. How 00:18:29.430 --> 00:18:32.509 much money do you want? Oh, I don't want any 00:18:32.509 --> 00:18:36.619 money. You don't want any money? No. Well, then 00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:44.900 what do you want? I want you. You want me? Yes. 00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:51.380 What does that mean? What do you think it means? 00:18:52.099 --> 00:18:58.599 I want to be Mrs. Silas Cunningham. Would you 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:00.900 mind saying that again? I think you heard it. 00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:03.910 Yes, I heard it. I can't believe it. You know, 00:19:04.150 --> 00:19:07.269 people like you are completely unaware of people 00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:10.170 like me, as human beings. Our mission in life 00:19:10.170 --> 00:19:13.049 is to serve, to be useful, to cater to all your 00:19:13.049 --> 00:19:16.430 creature concerns. But I have feelings, I have 00:19:16.430 --> 00:19:19.170 desires, emotions, yearnings... Well, I... I'm 00:19:19.170 --> 00:19:21.549 only three years older than you are. That's young 00:19:21.549 --> 00:19:23.509 enough. There's still time enough for me to enjoy 00:19:23.509 --> 00:19:29.029 a rich, exciting life. I've heard of shotgun 00:19:29.029 --> 00:19:31.029 weddings, but... Why turn you over to the police? 00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:34.490 I have a once -in -a -lifetime opportunity. Finally, 00:19:34.750 --> 00:19:39.109 Vera Watson, you too can become somebody. Nobody's 00:19:39.109 --> 00:19:41.869 maid, nobody's servant. Cross the line. You know, 00:19:42.009 --> 00:19:47.970 I wish I could say I admire you. Well, we'll 00:19:47.970 --> 00:19:51.750 let a year go by, a decent interval, and then 00:19:51.750 --> 00:19:56.609 we'll announce our engagement. I can assure you, 00:19:56.690 --> 00:19:59.730 Mrs. Watson, you're hardly my type. Perhaps. 00:20:00.430 --> 00:20:05.170 But you're mine, and after a while, I'll become 00:20:05.170 --> 00:20:09.130 yours. You think so? Oh, you'll come to value 00:20:09.130 --> 00:20:12.769 me when you know me better. Oh, by the way... 00:20:12.769 --> 00:20:16.549 Yes? Unlike so many women in love, Mr. Cunningham, 00:20:16.809 --> 00:20:21.250 I'm not blind. For example, I see how you've 00:20:21.250 --> 00:20:24.890 been glancing at your shotgun. Oh, have I been 00:20:24.890 --> 00:20:28.410 doing that? Well, I wouldn't recommend anything 00:20:28.410 --> 00:20:32.339 hasty, sir. You see, I've written a letter to 00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:36.119 my sister. It's to be opened in the event of 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:43.720 my death. Need I say more? No. I think you've 00:20:43.720 --> 00:21:07.430 said quite enough. Julia. I said I'd come back 00:21:07.430 --> 00:21:13.410 to our room. Julia. Silas, darling, why did you 00:21:13.410 --> 00:21:16.410 kill me? Julia, Julia, I didn't. My darling, 00:21:16.869 --> 00:21:19.490 you mustn't lie to me. But Julia. I've come from 00:21:19.490 --> 00:21:23.170 such a long way. Don't lie to me. Julia, please. 00:21:23.269 --> 00:21:28.069 Why did you kill me? Julia, I didn't. Poor Silas, 00:21:28.170 --> 00:21:30.490 it was for nothing. Julia, I didn't mean to. 00:21:30.549 --> 00:21:34.000 I must have been crazy. It was for nothing. Will 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.960 you be better off with her? Will you kill... 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:47.099 Sleeping pill. And get yourself some rest. Doctor, 00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:50.619 I'm fine. I'm just fine. But you don't go anywhere. 00:21:50.700 --> 00:21:53.339 You don't do anything. Oh, I don't care. Silas. 00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:57.140 You've lost your color. You look thinner. You've 00:21:57.140 --> 00:21:58.980 got to develop an interest in life once again. 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:04.630 I'll be alright. Silas. You're not getting all 00:22:04.630 --> 00:22:08.329 twisted up in that alcove business. Are you you're 00:22:08.329 --> 00:22:11.730 not getting visits? I hope Doctor, I loved my 00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:15.430 wife very much And I still haven't recovered 00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:17.990 from the shock of having lost her and I wish 00:22:17.990 --> 00:22:21.490 that everyone would let me alone All right, Silas. 00:22:21.769 --> 00:22:25.529 I'll leave you some vitamins. Oh Good morning, 00:22:25.529 --> 00:22:29.009 Dr. Pearson. Good morning. Miss Watson Friend 00:22:29.009 --> 00:22:31.890 here looks a bit peaked hasn't been eating much 00:22:31.890 --> 00:22:35.000 of it No, but I'm on my way to town to buy some 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.000 things to tempt his appetite. I'll give you a 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:39.720 lift. Oh, thank you. I just have to stop by the 00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:42.220 kitchen to leave him in such... I'll see you 00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:46.200 outside in a couple of minutes. Hmm. You know, 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:48.599 Silas, something's different about that woman. 00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:52.259 Different? No. In what way? Well, for one thing, 00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:55.319 she looks much younger. For another, she's not 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.019 too bad looking. I hadn't noticed. Something's 00:22:59.019 --> 00:23:01.380 come over her. Now, what do you suppose it could 00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:16.130 be? I haven't the faintest idea. Hello? Hello? 00:23:16.769 --> 00:23:19.349 Is Mrs. Watson there, please? Uh, no, I'm sorry. 00:23:19.349 --> 00:23:23.410 She's off. Oh. Well, uh, will she be back soon? 00:23:23.609 --> 00:23:25.509 Well, it's hard to say. She's downtown shopping. 00:24:11.909 --> 00:24:18.650 Yes, certainly. Thank you. Don't mention it. 00:24:19.930 --> 00:24:22.650 Good evening, Mrs. Watson. Good evening, Mr. 00:24:22.789 --> 00:24:24.450 Cunningham. Is this how you spend your evenings, 00:24:24.609 --> 00:24:28.049 Mrs. Watson? Knitting? Knitting, reading, listening 00:24:28.049 --> 00:24:30.269 to music. I've often wondered what you did with 00:24:30.269 --> 00:24:33.410 your time. That's not true. I don't imagine you 00:24:33.410 --> 00:24:36.430 ever gave me a second thought. Well, for better 00:24:36.430 --> 00:24:40.920 or for worse. Do you know what I... like to do 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.880 on a lovely night like this? No. Go out on a 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.539 boat? Well, why don't you? Well, I never cared 00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:52.640 to go out alone. Are you asking me to go with 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:57.500 you? Mm -hmm. Why? Oh, it's part of my quitship, 00:24:57.619 --> 00:25:03.039 Mrs. Watson. You are a remarkable man, Mr. Cunningham. 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.279 You are a remarkable woman. You know, actually, 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.039 you were right the other night. You're the woman 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:14.359 I need. The woman who can hold me in balance. 00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:19.420 Vera. You? Yes, Vera. You know, I have a feeling 00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:24.099 that I'm falling in love with you, Vera. Mr. 00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:28.539 Coney. My name is Silas. Silas. Vera, I need 00:25:28.539 --> 00:25:31.579 you. I need your strength and your good sense. 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:35.980 Where are we? We'll be very good for each other. 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.480 You'll see me. Oh, yes. As you'll supply the 00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:44.440 common sense and I'll supply the romance. Now, 00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:54.079 how about that boat ride? Oh, I'm very happy. 00:25:54.660 --> 00:25:58.759 Oh, Silas, life is so unpredictable, isn't it? 00:25:58.940 --> 00:26:01.599 Yes, that's the one thing you can say for sure. 00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.940 A month ago, who would believe you and I would 00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:08.759 be drifting along out here? Close together. You 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:10.880 know, it's getting a bit late. Oh, do we have 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.660 to go back in now? Well, we, uh, we'd better. 00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:14.720 The breeze is freshening. We may be in for a 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.559 gale. You wouldn't want to be blown out to sea, 00:26:16.579 --> 00:26:20.839 would you? Oh, no. Well, we, uh, we must do this, 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.720 or else... Darling. Yes? Somewhere are we headed, 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.720 huh? I mean, we're not going cold shore. That's 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.119 right. But you said... What did I say? That it 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:39.740 was time to go home. Fine. going home. What am 00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:42.339 I saying? What I'm saying is there's no one in 00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:47.339 my house and this should be far enough. Far enough 00:26:47.339 --> 00:26:50.380 for what? Well, you see, you took the boat out 00:26:50.380 --> 00:26:55.259 tonight all by yourself. And I guess you fell 00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:58.559 overboard. And here you go. No, no, you must 00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:36.720 have forgotten my letter to my sister. You see, 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.539 she had an accident last week. She went out on 00:27:38.539 --> 00:27:41.980 a boat. And she drowned. It was a terrible thing. 00:27:42.660 --> 00:27:45.380 But why did you instruct her to tell me to forget 00:27:45.380 --> 00:27:47.880 all about you? Darling, I can explain everything. 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.240 Well, it had better be a fantastic explanation. 00:27:51.839 --> 00:28:06.960 Still want to see me? Looks as if that poor girl's 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.779 gonna get stood up again. Well, who are you? 00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.619 Wouldn't be a good idea for the two of you to 00:28:10.619 --> 00:28:12.859 be seen together. Wait, just one minute. What 00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:15.059 are you doing here? Who are you? How do you do, 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.680 sir? I'm your new housekeeper. Now, see here. 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.819 Let's cut this nonsense. I'm your new housekeeper 00:28:20.819 --> 00:28:26.559 for a very good reason. My name is Emma. Emma? 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.940 You remember. Emma? They're a Watson's sister. 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:37.710 Oh. Oh. And the reason I'm your new housekeeper 00:28:37.710 --> 00:28:48.349 is because I found the letter. First, Julia cramped 00:28:48.349 --> 00:28:52.569 his style. Goodbye, Julia. Then Vera Watson had 00:28:52.569 --> 00:28:56.789 him cornered. Goodbye, Vera. Now here comes Emma. 00:28:57.450 --> 00:29:00.910 It never rains, it pours. What are we going to 00:29:00.910 --> 00:29:04.369 do about Emma? This will be the exclusive business 00:29:04.369 --> 00:29:18.710 of Act 3 when I return shortly. How does Silas 00:29:18.710 --> 00:29:21.730 Cunningham keep track of all his women? They 00:29:21.730 --> 00:29:24.130 all fall madly in love with him. They all want 00:29:24.130 --> 00:29:28.329 him. How does he manage them? Well, some of them 00:29:28.329 --> 00:29:31.539 have accidents. For example, his wife died of 00:29:31.539 --> 00:29:35.000 a stomachache. His housekeeper drowned. It seems 00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.599 she went out in the boat by herself and fell 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.420 overboard. Or anyhow, that's what the sheriff 00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:42.880 thinks. Now the latest woman who has entered 00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:48.960 his life is Emma. That's right, Emma. Yes, I 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.619 spoke to you on the telephone. That's right. 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.240 And I told you about the letter. Uh -huh. What 00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.460 are you doing here? I didn't think there was 00:29:58.460 --> 00:30:01.559 anything to that letter. Well, it isn't. Oh, 00:30:02.099 --> 00:30:07.980 Silas. Silas. When I read that my poor sister... 00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:10.180 Well, actually, she's my step -sister. Well, 00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:13.079 you know, she shouldn't have gone out in that 00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:16.059 boat alone. Oh, she didn't go out in the boat 00:30:16.059 --> 00:30:20.079 alone, Silas. You went out in the boat with her. 00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:23.039 What did you do? Throw her overboard? You can't 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.160 prove that. I don't have to prove that. I still 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.059 know about the other things. All right, let's 00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:30.980 get this over with, huh? How much do you want? 00:30:33.339 --> 00:30:36.640 You don't catch on at all, Silas. What do you 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:42.460 mean? I think you're kind of cheap. Oh. Good. 00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.660 You know, you're obviously an intelligent woman. 00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:50.740 Why don't we make a settlement? What did you 00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:54.809 have in mind? Well... Before you tell me. Let 00:30:54.809 --> 00:30:58.910 me tell you what I had in mind. I can marry you 00:30:58.910 --> 00:31:01.369 and steal you for divorce and strip you clean. 00:31:02.170 --> 00:31:04.670 You know, you drive a hard bargain. You'd have 00:31:04.670 --> 00:31:06.930 been better off with Vera. I'd have been better 00:31:06.930 --> 00:31:23.470 off with Julia. Oh no, no, go away, go away. 00:31:28.779 --> 00:31:31.339 Julia please, what do you want of me? What do 00:31:31.339 --> 00:31:34.000 you want? Silence darling. What do you want? 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:38.180 I'm keeping our promise. We will not be parted 00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:41.539 by death. I killed you. It doesn't matter. Oh, 00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:44.539 Julia, Julia. Poor foolish child. Oh, Julia. 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:49.859 Love is immortal, isn't it? Nothing can destroy 00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:54.039 love. Love lives forever. Oh, Julia, Julia. I 00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:56.930 was so stupid. I don't know what happened. It 00:31:56.930 --> 00:31:59.869 just keeps getting worse and worse for me. I 00:31:59.869 --> 00:32:03.930 know. You had to kill poor Mrs. Watson. Yes, 00:32:03.930 --> 00:32:07.230 and now I'll have to kill this horrible woman, 00:32:07.410 --> 00:32:11.650 Miss Amber. Yes. You must kill her before she 00:32:11.650 --> 00:32:14.210 destroys you. But how? How can I kill her, Julia? 00:32:14.210 --> 00:32:19.150 How? You can die. It's so simple. Think. How? 00:32:19.450 --> 00:32:21.490 Think. Tell me. Tell me, Julia. Please, tell 00:32:21.490 --> 00:32:26.390 me. The poison. The poison. light the bottle 00:32:26.390 --> 00:32:30.970 in her room and take a little bit yourself every 00:32:30.970 --> 00:32:36.430 day just as you did with me but Julia you died 00:32:36.430 --> 00:32:42.730 but you stopped in time call the doctor complain 00:32:42.730 --> 00:32:46.309 tell him you think you're being poisoned they'll 00:32:46.309 --> 00:32:49.329 discover the bottle in her room now Julia Julia 00:32:49.329 --> 00:32:51.450 please don't think she was trying to poison me 00:32:51.450 --> 00:32:58.829 yes But why would she want to poison me? Why 00:32:58.829 --> 00:33:03.089 did Mrs. Watson want to poison me? Mrs. Watson? 00:33:03.849 --> 00:33:09.069 Of course! It was Mrs. Watson, Dr. C. Emma was 00:33:09.069 --> 00:33:14.690 finishing the job. Her sister started. I'm dead. 00:33:15.769 --> 00:33:18.930 Now they found poison in your system. The bottle 00:33:18.930 --> 00:33:22.250 in her room! Oh, Julia, Julia, please! My darling 00:33:22.250 --> 00:33:26.099 Julia, please, my beloved Julia! Julia! What's 00:33:26.099 --> 00:33:28.579 going on in here? Hey, snap out of it. You're 00:33:28.579 --> 00:33:32.140 having a bad dream. No, no. That was not a dream. 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:34.799 Okay, have it your way. Don't you humor me. I 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.960 saw it. She was right here. Oh, sure. She's keeping 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:38.900 her promise. A promise? Yeah, she said she'd 00:33:38.900 --> 00:34:08.179 come back and she told me how I could... Shut 00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:11.639 up! And get out of here Don't you dare insult 00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:13.400 the memory of my wife. You better be careful 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.719 how you talk to me, Silas. Why? You know what 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:18.079 I can do. Yes, but that's all you can do. All? 00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:23.440 I can put you on a scaffold. You do that, and 00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:27.400 you'll get one single cent. Die. You're bluffing. 00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:32.699 Am I? Call it. Silas, honey, we're stuck with 00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:41.090 each other. Why not make the best of it? They 00:34:41.090 --> 00:34:51.710 may be stuck right here, but not for long. Good 00:34:51.710 --> 00:34:54.969 morning, sir. Good morning. I hope you feel better 00:34:54.969 --> 00:34:58.030 today. I don't. Especially? No, just coughing. 00:34:58.969 --> 00:35:00.869 I haven't hardly eaten a thing for the last three 00:35:00.869 --> 00:35:03.730 days. You got me worried. Worried? Yeah, you're 00:35:03.730 --> 00:35:06.610 my meal ticket. I don't want anything to go wrong 00:35:06.610 --> 00:35:10.489 with you. Besides... As I said the first day 00:35:10.489 --> 00:35:14.690 I met you. You're cute. I don't think I'll have 00:35:14.690 --> 00:35:17.650 any more coffee either. What's the matter? Nothing. 00:35:18.170 --> 00:35:21.650 There has to be something. I have these pains. 00:35:22.389 --> 00:35:25.030 What kind of pain? I don't know. Just pains. 00:35:25.190 --> 00:35:27.909 Where? Everywhere. Do you want me to call a doctor? 00:35:27.909 --> 00:35:32.909 No. No, not yet. Not yet? What are you waiting 00:35:32.909 --> 00:35:36.510 for? I'm waiting for just exactly the right time. 00:35:37.050 --> 00:35:40.469 What do you mean by... Just exactly the right 00:35:40.469 --> 00:35:44.010 time. There's an exactly right time for everything. 00:35:44.550 --> 00:35:47.949 Now, I better go upstairs and lie down. Can you 00:35:47.949 --> 00:35:52.409 manage? No, I can manage. I can manage everything. 00:35:55.730 --> 00:35:59.190 Dr. Pearson? Doctor, this is Emma. Mr. Cunningham's 00:35:59.190 --> 00:36:02.710 housekeeper. What is it, Emma? Dr. Pearson, Mr. 00:36:02.849 --> 00:36:04.650 Cunningham's been sick the past four or five 00:36:04.650 --> 00:36:07.889 days. Sick? What do you mean? Well, he can't 00:36:07.889 --> 00:36:12.719 eat. His pain looks kind of feverish to me. Why 00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:15.460 didn't you call me? I said to him, call the doctor. 00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:19.320 He said he wanted to wait. Wait for what? He 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.480 said he wanted to wait for just exactly the right 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:33.260 time. I'll be right there. Oh, Julia. Julia, 00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:37.900 why does it hurt so much now? This is only the 00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:40.380 fourth day after taking the poison. You needed 00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:48.340 ten. Is it supposed to be this bad? Julia, please. 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:53.380 Please come here and talk to me. I'm going to 00:36:53.380 --> 00:36:56.940 call Dr. Pearson now. I better not wait any longer. 00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:03.440 I better call him. Maybe my system is different. 00:37:03.940 --> 00:37:08.099 I only talk a little bit. Julia, please. Where 00:37:08.099 --> 00:37:13.360 are you? I'm here, darling. Here. Is this how 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:17.239 it was with you? Yes, darling. I can't stand 00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:21.440 it. You need a good eye. That's why. That's why 00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:27.539 I let go. Let go? Yes, darling. Let go. I can't 00:37:27.539 --> 00:37:31.860 take it anymore. I know. But don't keep finding 00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:58.340 him. But I have to hold out until... I don't 00:37:58.340 --> 00:38:38.070 have the strength Well enough it's obvious What 00:38:38.070 --> 00:38:40.650 killed him was a skull fracture. He fell out 00:38:40.650 --> 00:38:43.269 of the window and hit his head on a rock. Poor 00:38:43.269 --> 00:38:46.690 Silas. What was he doing near the window, Emma? 00:38:47.230 --> 00:38:50.809 I don't know. Well, did he say anything? He just 00:38:50.809 --> 00:38:57.889 called Julia. Julia. Yes. Well, he simply never 00:38:57.889 --> 00:39:00.969 got over her death. I suppose he couldn't accept 00:39:00.969 --> 00:39:07.010 it. Julia. It was as if he could see her. Well, 00:39:07.010 --> 00:39:09.909 maybe it's for the best. There was really no 00:39:09.909 --> 00:39:13.429 living for him without her. You know that. Yes, 00:39:13.610 --> 00:39:16.429 doctor. Never knew him even to look at another 00:39:16.429 --> 00:39:20.070 woman. Is that right, doctor? A very unusual 00:39:20.070 --> 00:39:25.010 man. That's true, doctor. He's the kind of exceptional 00:39:25.010 --> 00:39:28.590 person you meet so rarely in this world. All 00:39:28.590 --> 00:39:31.429 of us will be the poorer for his loss. You can 00:39:31.429 --> 00:39:36.360 say that again, doctor. All of us. will be the 00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:49.019 poor. Well, you know what they say. Which means 00:39:49.019 --> 00:39:53.079 only speak nice things about the dead. And after 00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:56.699 all, Silas Cunningham paid the price. Ironic, 00:39:56.900 --> 00:40:00.340 isn't it? So many men envied him his fantastic 00:40:00.340 --> 00:40:02.739 good looks and his successful way with women. 00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.519 It shows You can have too much of a good thing, 00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:10.059 but you cannot have too much of mystery theater. 00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:25.440 I'll be back shortly. It's all perspective. To 00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.659 Dr. Pearson, Silas Cunningham was almost a saint. 00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:33.000 To Maryland, he was a lovable rogue. To his wife, 00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:37.050 Julia, He was a sincere, devoted lover. To Vera, 00:40:37.590 --> 00:40:41.929 he was a killer. To Emma, he was a fool. Each 00:40:41.929 --> 00:40:45.610 of us is a combination of so many people. Have 00:40:45.610 --> 00:40:48.309 you ever tried to figure out your combination? 00:40:49.230 --> 00:40:52.570 It may unlock some hidden facets in your personality. 00:40:53.409 --> 00:40:56.269 On the Mystery Theater, we deal in hidden facets 00:40:56.269 --> 00:41:01.119 all the time. Try us again. Our cast included 00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.300 Larry Haynes, Evie Juster, Reiner Rayburn, and 00:41:04.300 --> 00:41:07.119 Guy Sorrell. The entire production was under 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:13.019 the direction of Hyman Brown. Now, a preview 00:41:13.019 --> 00:41:18.239 of our next tale. What happened? Steve, you're... 00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:22.039 you're alive. Yeah, I guess so. How are you? 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.500 Hey, you're bleeding, huh? Oh, I just... I just 00:41:25.500 --> 00:41:28.679 cut my head a little. It's nothing. Oh, I can't 00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.739 get up. I think I sprained my ankle. It may be 00:41:31.739 --> 00:41:35.960 broken. Here, give me a hand, Si. Some sort of 00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:39.500 jagged rock under my back. Could you move it 00:41:39.500 --> 00:41:45.340 or help me up? Let me see. It's just a rock. 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:52.199 Let me get rid of it and then... Get rid of it? 00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:56.219 Or use it? What are you waiting for? I, uh... 00:41:56.489 --> 00:41:59.230 I'm not waiting any longer. Well, then for the 00:41:59.230 --> 00:42:09.590 love of... This time, you are dead.
