- 2:43Speaker 1: for the hill country.
- 2:44Speaker 2: It's going to be in trouble, a silver Hawaii.
- 2:56Speaker 1: The Lone Ranger had sent Tonto into the little mining
- 2:59Speaker 1: town of Brownsville for supplies, but in less than fifteen minutes,
- 3:03Speaker 1: the faithful Indian raced back to the grove of trees
- 3:05Speaker 1: where the mask Man was wedding Noll. What's the matter?
- 3:10Speaker 3: You come, come plenty fast? Did you go to the
- 3:13Speaker 3: store in town to go there? Not to stay long,
- 3:16Speaker 3: plenty trouble in town. Come fast with this mask. I'll
- 3:20Speaker 3: have to take time to disguise my face. That's why
- 3:22Speaker 3: I didn't go with you in the first place to
- 3:24Speaker 3: get food. Nobody see you?
- 3:25Speaker 1: Why not?
- 3:26Speaker 3: Nobody in town? Everything dead, dog sleep like dead? Are
- 3:30Speaker 3: you sure you come?
- 3:31Speaker 1: You see? I will? Let's get going. All Silver, Hawaii.
- 3:48Speaker 1: There was no sign of life on the main street
- 3:50Speaker 1: of the town. The dog which Tonto had seen, was
- 3:53Speaker 1: still sleeping on the porch of the general store. He
- 3:56Speaker 1: didn't stir. The lone range in the Indian walked past him.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Inside the store, everything seemed to be in perfect order.
- 4:07Speaker 3: No dust here, no man here, him gone.
- 4:14Speaker 1: The cash box hasn't been touched. It wasn't a robbery.
- 4:18Speaker 1: We'll have a looking back. The storekeeper might be there
- 4:21Speaker 1: and he's living quarters.
- 4:22Speaker 3: H taunt to looking for him. Not there anty, strange
- 4:26Speaker 3: thing here, you'll see m m.
- 4:30Speaker 1: There was a plate of food partially eaten on the
- 4:33Speaker 1: table in the kitchen. A half filled cup of coffee
- 4:36Speaker 1: was still warm. We'll have a look in some of
- 4:38Speaker 1: the other houses. TWA. I can't understand this. It was
- 4:47Speaker 1: the same in every house. There were signs of recent occupation,
- 4:52Speaker 1: but no signs of a hasty departure. Nothing was disturbed.
- 4:56Speaker 1: In one house, a fire still burned in the stove.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Bread was baking. In another, there's smoke coming from the oven.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Look the bread's burnt to a crisper counter. Fix it.
- 5:10Speaker 1: We've been in five of the houses, Tata. We didn't
- 5:12Speaker 1: see if there isn't some sign of life in the
- 5:14Speaker 1: last one.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Town plenty small.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Yes, and I don't think there are over twenty people
- 5:19Speaker 1: in the town, cutting everyone. Most of those twenty work
- 5:22Speaker 1: in the mine. And we'll check the last house.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Maybe the accident come to mine, maybe all collored dead there.
- 5:29Speaker 1: But even if everyone who worked in the mine was gone,
- 5:31Speaker 1: the women and children would be around. Hum. That's right.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Those dogs we found Kimosabe, all of them so sound
- 5:38Speaker 1: asleep that we couldn't wake them. And it's our only
- 5:41Speaker 1: clue so far.
- 5:47Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, Oh, how is the same?
- 5:55Speaker 3: Nobody?
- 5:56Speaker 4: Answer?
- 5:56Speaker 1: This is still on the table. Here's the kitchen. Another
- 6:03Speaker 1: thing touched. We know that people were still in Brownsville
- 6:07Speaker 1: a few hours ago. Man, right then, something somebody made
- 6:11Speaker 1: those people disappear. Come upstairs, we look in the bedrooms.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Did you hear huh? Hello, that sounds capable of the
- 6:20Speaker 1: bedrooms we were starting here. Nobody here, this room is here.
- 6:29Speaker 5: Someone alive and last get your show. Yield on there,
- 6:32Speaker 5: take it you you already hold him. You're going to
- 6:36Speaker 5: find out a few things. Stop you're struggling. We're not
- 6:39Speaker 5: here to hurt you. They were just one of you.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Hold him there, now, you take it easy, fellows. They
- 6:47Speaker 1: got me better, not one minute. That's who do you
- 6:50Speaker 1: think we are?
- 6:51Speaker 4: Please don't hurt my brother.
- 6:53Speaker 1: You've done enough already. Hold on. There's a misunderstanding here.
- 6:57Speaker 1: You seem to think that we're to blame for some
- 6:59Speaker 1: strange thing that's happened here in town. Well, ain't you No,
- 7:02Speaker 1: we're not. Now tell us what did happen. I don't
- 7:04Speaker 1: know why I should tell you.
- 7:06Speaker 6: Stop, don't put that waterle to be men, that's what's
- 7:12Speaker 6: happened to the town.
- 7:13Speaker 1: They all took a drink of that water.
- 7:15Speaker 4: Water.
- 7:15Speaker 1: If there was only something way I could be sure
- 7:17Speaker 1: I could come on. Why not tell me what you know?
- 7:20Speaker 7: Tell him he's got you. You may as well tell
- 7:23Speaker 7: what we know.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I don't know how they can help get Paul back
- 7:27Speaker 1: to us. Where is your father?
- 7:29Speaker 6: We don't know he he just disappeared. How we don't
- 7:32Speaker 6: know that either. You see, we were all at breakfast,
- 7:35Speaker 6: the same as usual, Paul and Betty and me and
- 7:37Speaker 6: what's your name, Jim Lanson. I was eating breakfast and
- 7:41Speaker 6: fell asleep. I come to and found Paul gone a
- 7:44Speaker 6: hunt for Betty.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Where were you in my room?
- 7:47Speaker 7: I had gone there to tidy up the bed and
- 7:49Speaker 7: things after breakfast. I felt awful, dizzy all of a sudden.
- 7:53Speaker 7: When I came to, Jim was telling me Paul was gone.
- 7:56Speaker 1: What about that water?
- 7:57Speaker 6: I figured there was dope or drugs or some sort.
- 7:59Speaker 6: Maybe posting in the water had a mighty funny taste.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Doesn't your father run the mine near here? Yes, nearly
- 8:05Speaker 1: everyone works here.
- 8:06Speaker 7: Paul was laden getting started there this morning, and he Jim, remember, Jim,
- 8:12Speaker 7: remember Tully last night?
- 8:14Speaker 6: M Yeah, I wonder maybe that's the answer.
- 8:19Speaker 1: You say, everyone's gone from town?
- 8:21Speaker 6: Yes, I bet I got it. Tell me Paul had
- 8:23Speaker 6: this fellow Tully arrested last night. He'd been stealing cash
- 8:25Speaker 6: from the office. Yes, Oh, Tully was furious, man.
- 8:28Speaker 1: He swore he gets square with a whole.
- 8:30Speaker 6: Town for jailing him. It was always an odd duck
- 8:33Speaker 6: scheming queer things.
- 8:34Speaker 4: He was sly too.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I wouldn't put her past into poison the whole well.
- 8:37Speaker 1: As everyone get water from the same well, yeah, they
- 8:40Speaker 1: ain't but one well in town. Oh jim, huh what
- 8:43Speaker 1: is it? Betty?
- 8:44Speaker 4: I remember now.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I thought it was strange at the time.
- 8:46Speaker 4: It didn't seem to make much sense.
- 8:48Speaker 1: What's that? Betty?
- 8:49Speaker 7: The wea Tully wanted to stop that well for a
- 8:51Speaker 7: drink on his way to jail.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if you were right. I remember
- 8:56Speaker 1: he wanted to stop at his house too, was just
- 8:58Speaker 1: after he'd been arrested. There was quite a few men there.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Betty and I were there too.
- 9:03Speaker 6: Tolly finally calmed down at his arrest and came along
- 9:06Speaker 6: as far as his house.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Keep right on, Tully, Wait, wait for just a minute.
- 9:15Speaker 1: You've got to wait for what. I want to get
- 9:17Speaker 1: something in my house. It won't take but a minute.
- 9:19Speaker 1: You can tell us what you want. We'll bring it
- 9:21Speaker 1: to you in the gym.
- 9:22Speaker 6: Yeah, go on, Tully, shove on where you're going to
- 9:24Speaker 6: the county'll supply everything in the.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Let me go, Hey you locally back? Wait? We well
- 9:30Speaker 1: be hang that credit is local? Howef there's something he
- 9:33Speaker 1: wants as badly as that Jim. When I let him
- 9:35Speaker 1: get it. Well, at the time, we.
- 9:38Speaker 6: Wondered what Tully was so all fired eager to get
- 9:40Speaker 6: him his house. He came on a couple of minutes
- 9:42Speaker 6: holding the small package wrapped in paper, didn't tell anyone
- 9:45Speaker 6: what it was. But the next thing he wanted to
- 9:48Speaker 6: stop again on the way to.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Jay he get a drink of water from the well.
- 9:51Speaker 6: Yeah, we got to the well and he walked like
- 9:53Speaker 6: a stubborn hule.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Now it's no matter whether you're Telly.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Ring last drink of water. You can't stop me from that,
- 10:02Speaker 1: Can you well get your drink? Look out there? Oh
- 10:05Speaker 1: hang it, Look what you've done. You dropped your package.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Oh well, was that all you got to say?
- 10:11Speaker 4: Let's go to jail?
- 10:12Speaker 1: Might as well. I still say, the guy's local drop
- 10:17Speaker 1: the package in the well.
- 10:19Speaker 6: The thing that made me sure he was local was that,
- 10:21Speaker 6: after being so anxious to stop and get it, he
- 10:23Speaker 6: didn't seem to care who about losing whatever it was
- 10:25Speaker 6: when he dropped it into the well.
- 10:27Speaker 1: And everyone drank water from that well this morning. There's
- 10:29Speaker 1: see some of the people and most of the men
- 10:32Speaker 1: would be over Cama the dope. After they reached the mine.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Sure they would and the rest.
- 10:37Speaker 1: But what's happened to the rest? You see the only
- 10:39Speaker 1: folks we've seen. We've looked everywhere.
- 10:41Speaker 6: You looked into the jail. Yes, Tolly might have got loose.
- 10:43Speaker 6: It wouldn't be hard if everyone was sleeping.
- 10:45Speaker 1: But Paul, where is he?
- 10:47Speaker 7: Let's go look at the mine.
- 10:48Speaker 1: We'll have a look at the mine. I'm going to
- 10:51Speaker 1: we'll see if we can ride. Yet, what is it? Timer,
- 10:54Speaker 1: come in house? Not a sound. The entrance to the
- 10:56Speaker 1: mine is writing back. It's come from there. I'm going
- 10:59Speaker 1: to see there. He goes down the stairs. Hey, fuddy,
- 11:02Speaker 1: I'll get after him. Teller, you stay with the girl. God,
- 11:04Speaker 1: we're going after that man. The lone Ranger and Jim
- 11:18Speaker 1: Lansing raced down the stairs, and after the man had seen,
- 11:20Speaker 1: heading for the back door, Tanto and the girl remained behind.
- 11:24Speaker 1: For a few moments. They waited in silence, and then.
- 11:28Speaker 7: Tanto, that's your name, that right? Holy must catch Tully.
- 11:32Speaker 7: What do you think he's done with everyone in town?
- 11:34Speaker 1: M not?
- 11:35Speaker 4: No, maybe find out plenty soon.
- 11:38Speaker 7: Posit A dozen times he thought Tully was acting strange.
- 11:41Speaker 7: I'm sure he must be local.
- 11:42Speaker 1: May be that right, Oh Corey, your covert ridskin. Make
- 11:47Speaker 1: a move, Go on, make a move. I'd like an
- 11:50Speaker 1: excuse to shoot. Tally listen to me? You Why should
- 11:53Speaker 1: I listen to you? You listen to me? Turn around,
- 11:56Speaker 1: walk straight ahead, go out the back of the house,
- 12:00Speaker 1: you renchkin, you keep behind her.
- 12:02Speaker 4: I'm taking no chances having you shoot over a shoulder
- 12:04Speaker 4: at me.
- 12:05Speaker 1: How did you get here? Telling yes, you thought so
- 12:09Speaker 1: the others mask man, your brother, They thought I went
- 12:13Speaker 1: into the mine too, but I didn't. Now walk, that's
- 12:17Speaker 1: only a warning. Get warming. Tully forced Betty and Tonto
- 12:29Speaker 1: to go downstairs, but when they reached the first floor,
- 12:33Speaker 1: the girl turned to the gunman and gone right through
- 12:36Speaker 1: the back door into the tunnel. Your father's in there.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Knew what him say and best for now.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Keep right going, Betty, lancing out the door. Now those
- 12:48Speaker 1: others didn't see me. Duck back inside the mine entrance,
- 12:51Speaker 1: then come out again.
- 12:52Speaker 4: No, too eager to get me? Tell me, don't you
- 12:55Speaker 4: realize you will hang for what you're doing me?
- 12:58Speaker 1: Hang it? Whoo? Who'll hang me? Who's left to hang me?
- 13:04Speaker 1: If you and Jim and drunk as much water as
- 13:06Speaker 1: the others. You'd still be sleeping like the others. But
- 13:10Speaker 1: don't worry. Your sleep is you'll sleep good. Father's breathing,
- 13:31Speaker 1: all right, Jim, he'll recover. I'm sure. I reckon.
- 13:34Speaker 6: The others must be further back in the tunnel somewhere,
- 13:36Speaker 6: probably likely.
- 13:37Speaker 4: Tell he went back to where they are.
- 13:38Speaker 1: We can get him. We'll be trying to get back
- 13:40Speaker 1: out again. Yeah, we can do that. You know other
- 13:42Speaker 1: way I was flying. Oh, he's moaning, Oh, why can
- 13:46Speaker 1: you speak? He's coming to now?
- 13:49Speaker 4: What happened?
- 13:50Speaker 6: You're all right, you're in the tunnel, and I take
- 13:54Speaker 6: it easy and you'll be as good as new in
- 13:55Speaker 6: a few minutes.
- 13:57Speaker 4: What happened Jim?
- 13:59Speaker 6: That you yes, Tally done it? He's drug the drinking. Well,
- 14:04Speaker 6: everyone in town was drugged a sleep and it.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Came here and that's all I remember.
- 14:08Speaker 6: Tully has brought the women folk here too, but he's local.
- 14:12Speaker 6: We'll get him in a minute. Someone's coming.
- 14:17Speaker 1: That baddy, What are you doing here? Who's behind you?
- 14:20Speaker 4: It's the Indian Telly slip back out and.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Made us come here him local. Look, there is at
- 14:25Speaker 1: the entrance to the mine. Tell it. I want to
- 14:27Speaker 1: speak to you. There's nothing to speak about. What are
- 14:30Speaker 1: you doing there? Stop that? Wait? Tell it. I'm right
- 14:33Speaker 1: in the fuse see watch it burn. How I'm leaving you? Goodbye?
- 14:37Speaker 1: He speaks the past there down down on your face.
- 14:40Speaker 8: You better hurry.
- 14:54Speaker 1: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
- 14:56Speaker 1: Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please, he's permitted
- 15:00Speaker 1: to pause for just a few moments. How to continue
- 15:32Speaker 1: our story? Lancing, the owner of the Brownville Mine, his
- 15:36Speaker 1: daughter Betty, and his son Jim, were with the Lone
- 15:38Speaker 1: Ranger and Toto when an explosion roared to the tunnel
- 15:41Speaker 1: of the mine and a landslide sealed the entrance.
- 15:49Speaker 9: Well, that doesn't that doesn't plenty. Now we're sealing our
- 15:53Speaker 9: own tomb.
- 15:54Speaker 1: There's the tiny spot of light at the opening, Lancing.
- 15:57Speaker 1: We'll probably get air to last us for some time.
- 15:59Speaker 6: You from what I gather, if it hadn't been for you,
- 16:02Speaker 6: Jim and Betty wouldn't be here.
- 16:03Speaker 4: They'd be out in the open.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Anyhow, don't hold it against his man.
- 16:06Speaker 4: If you save your breath, Jim, I'll do the talking.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Well, I'm saying, we're all in this together. Doesn't matter
- 16:11Speaker 1: how we get here. The thing to do is find
- 16:13Speaker 1: a way to get out here. Yeah, well you figure
- 16:15Speaker 1: that out. To have a look at the entrance. See
- 16:17Speaker 1: how badly we're sealed in? Hunt do it? The first place?
- 16:21Speaker 1: Is there water that's fit the drink in here? No?
- 16:23Speaker 1: Of course there's no food supply, of course they ain't.
- 16:26Speaker 1: How about blasting punor to keep any of that inside
- 16:29Speaker 1: the tunnel? No, that'd be downright foolish. Where are the
- 16:31Speaker 1: rest of the people. We'd better have a look at them.
- 16:33Speaker 9: They're back further than I am. Must be if they're
- 16:35Speaker 9: in here, they between us and the entrance.
- 16:38Speaker 1: What sort of man is this? Fella? Tully must be local,
- 16:40Speaker 1: that's all I can figure out. What is he to
- 16:42Speaker 1: gain by this act of his nothing?
- 16:44Speaker 6: Only what I said before, stranger He was sawed everyone
- 16:46Speaker 6: in town for the rest of him.
- 16:48Speaker 1: This is his way of getting revenge. It's a very
- 16:50Speaker 1: strange way of getting revenge. What has he against everyone?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Just the way his brain works, you can see that
- 16:56Speaker 1: he's local. I wonder just how crazy the man is.
- 17:00Speaker 7: You don't have any doubts about it, do you?
- 17:01Speaker 1: I wonder? Eh, you wonder what's there to wonder about
- 17:05Speaker 1: the way he's going about this whole thing. The way
- 17:07Speaker 1: he put a drug into the well to start with,
- 17:10Speaker 1: the way he tricked us into coming in here and
- 17:12Speaker 1: getting to your daughter in.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Here Lane crazy.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Finally, the way he set off that blast and takes
- 17:17Speaker 1: a lot of skill to fix the blast or to
- 17:19Speaker 1: drop the stone just where they do the most good.
- 17:22Speaker 9: And you should realize that, Lancing, Sure realize it. But
- 17:25Speaker 9: Tully ain't no fool.
- 17:26Speaker 1: That's just it.
- 17:27Speaker 4: He's crazy, but.
- 17:28Speaker 9: Lots of crazy men have mighty foxy ways about him.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Who's coming? It's me, Lancing, Miller.
- 17:34Speaker 4: Oh you've been further back in the tunnel.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Huh, Yes, the rest of the folks have been back
- 17:39Speaker 1: there with me. They've all come around down and wondering
- 17:41Speaker 1: what happened? We heard you talking here? Who's a strange?
- 17:44Speaker 4: I don't know. How's the rest? Who all's there?
- 17:46Speaker 1: Everyone in town? The men that didn't come here to
- 17:49Speaker 1: work must have been lugged in. The women are back
- 17:51Speaker 1: there too, Miller.
- 17:52Speaker 4: It strikes me that you mighty blamed for this whole thing.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Me.
- 17:55Speaker 4: How do you figure, Lancing, you had charge of the
- 17:57Speaker 4: blasting powder. Tully couldn't have got at that without you.
- 18:00Speaker 4: Your hell, well there, Sloco talk. I had the key
- 18:02Speaker 4: to the shed in my pocket.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Tully took the key and when he found that I
- 18:05Speaker 1: had been knocked out by the confounded.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Drug of his h Miller.
- 18:09Speaker 9: You studied a lot of this here chemical stuff when
- 18:11Speaker 9: you was in school, didn't you.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Yes, what'd you say that dope in the well might
- 18:15Speaker 4: have been?
- 18:15Speaker 1: Uh? I don't know.
- 18:17Speaker 4: There's a lot of things that could have been used.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Uh Huh. How'd Tully know about them? Things? You got
- 18:22Speaker 4: me lancing? I don't know. I felt for a long
- 18:25Speaker 4: time that Tully was deeper than anyone knew.
- 18:27Speaker 7: I'm going back to join the other women in their part.
- 18:29Speaker 4: Uh just a minute, Well, I suggest that we all
- 18:32Speaker 4: go back into the tunnel. Further, I happen to have
- 18:34Speaker 4: a supply of drinking water there.
- 18:36Speaker 1: We rashing it.
- 18:37Speaker 4: We can make it do for a few days. You
- 18:39Speaker 4: got drinking water, Yes, I keep a big canteen of
- 18:41Speaker 4: it on hand when I'm working. I fetched it in
- 18:44Speaker 4: yesterday and didn't use much of it.
- 18:45Speaker 9: One canteen won't go far split about twenty different ways.
- 18:48Speaker 4: Uh, that's what I say. I'll have to ration it
- 18:51Speaker 4: out so there'll be a little to what everyone's throat
- 18:53Speaker 4: and let it.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Go up there.
- 18:54Speaker 4: Lets you tell her not right hunt, Look at stone?
- 18:57Speaker 1: Is there a lot of it? Oh plenty?
- 19:00Speaker 4: We have powder. Maybe we blow a way out, not
- 19:03Speaker 4: get out any.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Other way, and we have no powdered.
- 19:05Speaker 9: Well we may as well take charge of the ration
- 19:07Speaker 9: out of that drinking water.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Come on, all of you. Here's mister Lancing pot tunnel dot.
- 19:22Speaker 10: Com lancing on that flight for the La Lancing teens
- 19:26Speaker 10: for all wire town.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Ain't no use having hard feelings here. Where's that drinking water?
- 19:30Speaker 4: I'll get it cashed over.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Here early had the lighter wouldn't be quite as bad
- 19:35Speaker 1: sitting in the dock just waiting. But yeah, why don't
- 19:38Speaker 1: we do something the sent of sitting waiting the din last.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Let's do something as soon as you're ready to listen.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I have a suggestion to make. Let's have the water first,
- 19:46Speaker 1: he make light, Say what matches you got? Uh? Paint
- 19:49Speaker 1: water first? It is, I've got it. Let her tell
- 19:52Speaker 1: me speak to you.
- 19:53Speaker 4: You come this way?
- 19:54Speaker 1: Well, what about the water? You got it? Miller?
- 19:56Speaker 4: Yes, let me see a little of bit leaked out.
- 19:59Speaker 4: But the canteen is over half pool. Now we gotta
- 20:02Speaker 4: put everyone on his word to do no more than
- 20:04Speaker 4: take a sip of it? Is that agreed?
- 20:07Speaker 1: Just one minutes. You'll better keep out of this stranger.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Help you think it would be easier to pass that canteen.
- 20:11Speaker 1: And we had some light. I have a bit of
- 20:13Speaker 1: candle here, this whole things for a minute taken. See
- 20:16Speaker 1: what difference it makes it there's a light or not.
- 20:20Speaker 1: You take care of the candle all right now if
- 20:22Speaker 1: there ain't no object. Hey, you're a mass about that canteen. Millner,
- 20:27Speaker 1: I'll take you what Hey, he's doing us out of
- 20:29Speaker 1: that water. The safest place with this water is right
- 20:32Speaker 1: here on the ground that cante man back, keep on,
- 20:36Speaker 1: look on shopping, rush him, take the candy, fix him.
- 20:39Speaker 1: You keep back, rush him and save that water.
- 20:41Speaker 8: Hand back.
- 20:42Speaker 10: Don't take me cheeze gone, look cose, God of God,
- 20:44Speaker 10: shoot the nice man. Rob it takes at Russia. He's stark, stranger.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Ain't you well? Get you? Wait, wait, all of you
- 20:52Speaker 1: listen to me. Be quiet. I have something to tell you.
- 20:56Speaker 1: I've stopped pouring out the water. It's still a little
- 20:59Speaker 1: bit left enough to prove to you why I poured
- 21:02Speaker 1: it on the ground. What are you talking about? You'll
- 21:04Speaker 1: find out if you'll listen. The first place, what water
- 21:06Speaker 1: there was wouldn't prolong our lives enough to matter. If
- 21:09Speaker 1: we're not going to get out of here alive, we
- 21:11Speaker 1: might as well perish one day sooner. But we are
- 21:14Speaker 1: going to get out. I'd like to know how, me too.
- 21:16Speaker 1: It wasn't intended that we should all die in here.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Then if you disagree with me,
- 21:22Speaker 1: I'll surrender my guns. You can do what you want.
- 21:25Speaker 1: That sounds farough. We're trapped here because they've carefully made
- 21:29Speaker 1: and perfectly carried out plans. Someone wanted us all to die,
- 21:33Speaker 1: perhaps so the mind could be taken over. Perhaps the
- 21:36Speaker 1: plotter knew of a lot of other valuable claims it
- 21:38Speaker 1: might be staked, and the present owners of the land
- 21:40Speaker 1: were not here. What do you get in that, stranger,
- 21:42Speaker 1: Whatever the motive, it wasn't simply because Tully was out
- 21:45Speaker 1: of his mind. Tully was just a willing tool in
- 21:47Speaker 1: the hands of the real killing.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Why he's crazy, he's talking no sense at all.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Well, let's hear him anyhow, ain't nothing else to do,
- 21:54Speaker 1: that's right, Might just as well listen to what I
- 21:56Speaker 1: have to say. How about this plotter? He knew he
- 21:59Speaker 1: couldn't kill everyone in town without having a lot of
- 22:01Speaker 1: explaining to do. He couldn't explain it, so he drugged
- 22:04Speaker 1: the water to get us all into this tunnel. Tully
- 22:07Speaker 1: done that. We all know it, yes, But when we
- 22:09Speaker 1: were in here, the plan was to give us more water.
- 22:12Speaker 1: The water we'd have in here wouldn't contain any drug.
- 22:15Speaker 1: It would contain a deadly poison.
- 22:17Speaker 4: If I'd call for a sight approach, Stranger, that's as
- 22:20Speaker 4: much as saying I'm a murderer.
- 22:21Speaker 1: He's charging Miller with murder. Quiet, let me finish, won't
- 22:24Speaker 1: you go on? Stranger. We'd all perish except the one
- 22:27Speaker 1: who planned the tragedy, and he would be allowed to
- 22:29Speaker 1: escape from here. The tunnel would be sealed once more,
- 22:33Speaker 1: until it'd be no way to tell how he died.
- 22:35Speaker 1: And doesn't it stand the reason that this is the
- 22:37Speaker 1: work of a man who knows medicines and poisons, a
- 22:40Speaker 1: man who can plan carefully and use Tully as his tool.
- 22:42Speaker 9: That's a fine story, Stranger, but there ain't a shred
- 22:45Speaker 9: of proof in any part of it.
- 22:46Speaker 1: A proof is in this canteen, yeah, but it still
- 22:48Speaker 1: ain't proof. Drink it, Stranger, and show us how it kills.
- 22:54Speaker 1: The canteen leaked a bit. When Tudda lighted the match,
- 22:56Speaker 1: he saw where the ground was moist and he saw
- 22:58Speaker 1: a rat that had sipped the water. The condition of
- 23:01Speaker 1: that rat was all that was needed to prove that
- 23:03Speaker 1: this was dangerous water. Ah, that's a lot. We'll make
- 23:06Speaker 1: sure Miller. You filled his canteen, didn't you? You said
- 23:12Speaker 1: you did? Are you going to the nine? I felled
- 23:14Speaker 1: it and it's all right, and take it. Drink what
- 23:17Speaker 1: water remains in it. I ain't thirsty, go on, drink it.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Just moisten your mouth with it. That's all you have
- 23:23Speaker 1: to do.
- 23:23Speaker 4: You'll likely put poison in it yourself.
- 23:25Speaker 1: That's why the candle was lighted. You've all had the
- 23:28Speaker 1: chance to watch me. You know I put nothing into
- 23:30Speaker 1: the water. Hey, Miller, you're afraid, are you? I don't
- 23:33Speaker 1: trust that man? You're going to drink this or confess?
- 23:36Speaker 1: I ain't. We'll see. Come on, let me go, let
- 23:39Speaker 1: me go. We gotta help Miller. That mess man drag
- 23:41Speaker 1: hold counsel them tother, don't let them interfere. Got the morn. Miller,
- 23:45Speaker 1: open your lips. Take a swallow of this unless you're
- 23:49Speaker 1: ready to talk. We can't help him. This is worth watching.
- 23:52Speaker 1: How about it, Miller, do you talk or not? I'll
- 23:55Speaker 1: talk cash. Then you won't put us out of the
- 23:57Speaker 1: way with poison. You neither tell us how you plan
- 23:59Speaker 1: to get out of here or stay and die with us?
- 24:02Speaker 1: How show you how show you get up? Then? I
- 24:05Speaker 1: didn't mean it. I didn't never mind the talk that
- 24:08Speaker 1: show us how you plan to get out? Half you'd
- 24:10Speaker 1: murdered all of.
- 24:10Speaker 4: Us, folks.
- 24:11Speaker 1: This man's local. You're gonna stand by up now, you'll
- 24:14Speaker 1: drink No, no, no, the way out quickly? Just follow me.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Go ahead, leave the way. Maybe he does no way out?
- 24:22Speaker 1: The rest of you wait where you are. I'll see
- 24:25Speaker 1: if this man's telling the truth. Go on, Miller. I'm
- 24:28Speaker 1: right behind you, and I'm bringing what's left to the
- 24:31Speaker 1: water with me. Look, look, stranger, keep going. I'm going
- 24:36Speaker 1: to you. Six tails. Other will hold the other's back
- 24:39Speaker 1: until we find out where you're going. Miller, Hi, Hi,
- 24:43Speaker 1: don it just as you said. Look, maybe you and
- 24:47Speaker 1: me can make a deal. The way out. You're not
- 24:49Speaker 1: heading toward the tunnel's mouth. No, it's this way. There's
- 24:52Speaker 1: another place where we broke through in the digging. Nobody
- 24:55Speaker 1: else but me knew about it. I fixed it with
- 24:57Speaker 1: a blast, all set to touch off. Figured this out
- 25:00Speaker 1: a long time ago. How much were they right here?
- 25:03Speaker 1: This is where we stopped the fuse. It's there. See.
- 25:07Speaker 4: If I had this thing worked out perfect, I'd have
- 25:10Speaker 4: been the richest man.
- 25:11Speaker 1: In the state.
- 25:12Speaker 4: I had owned this whole town, all the gold there
- 25:15Speaker 4: was in all this ground, and no one to argue
- 25:17Speaker 4: with me for it.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Even if my scheme tail. You've got to it and
- 25:21Speaker 1: make it looks slick. Is there powder connected to that fuse? Sure?
- 25:25Speaker 4: It was all set to touch off as soon as
- 25:27Speaker 4: the rest of you.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Work done for Lighted. I look, before we opened the hall,
- 25:33Speaker 1: how about Lighted. It's still the ball of my scheme.
- 25:37Speaker 1: I even went beyond what I told you. It's going
- 25:40Speaker 1: back back. Uh, well, this way the fuse ain't none
- 25:43Speaker 1: too long. It'll let go in a second. Down down
- 25:45Speaker 1: in your face, right, you'll try to get away. Manurse
- 26:01Speaker 1: along and deal with you.
- 26:17Speaker 9: I was near the surface, and I thought, pray, why
- 26:20Speaker 9: Fray can take back all I said about that Man's man,
- 26:22Speaker 9: Meller's the crook.
- 26:23Speaker 1: We'll string him up. Gosh heads, that smells the horse
- 26:27Speaker 1: has over here. Old boy, you got anything to say, Yes,
- 26:31Speaker 1: I got plenty to say. You got nothing against me.
- 26:34Speaker 1: You'll try and prove time crooked. You can't know it.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Murdering child. This man's hurt. Tulley, you you tried to
- 26:42Speaker 1: kill me. You didn't tell me the blaster was coming here.
- 26:47Speaker 1: He told me, said said here, said right here, you
- 26:51Speaker 1: said wait here, And you know it all the time.
- 26:54Speaker 1: This is where the blast would come. Look after him,
- 27:00Speaker 1: Tell h him, Dad, has he done for? That's right?
- 27:05Speaker 1: Him dead. Miller looks to me as if the dying
- 27:10Speaker 1: words of Tully would be enough to hang you. They will.
- 27:14Speaker 9: We're all witnesses of what Tully said. Miller fired that
- 27:17Speaker 9: blast that killed him. Oh, come on, boys, throw the
- 27:20Speaker 9: killer in jail till the judge comes around next time.
- 28:03Speaker 4: Up.
