- 0:40Speaker 3: It's Dunaidial.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Where?
- 0:44Speaker 3: Dunaidial. There's an accent on the E. Do you mean.

- 1:05Speaker 7: 50mg tablets containing Sumatriptan is now available over the counter
- 1:09Speaker 7: from your pharmacist if you've been previously diagnosed with migraine.
- 1:14Speaker 7: Unlike painkillers, Sumatriptan acts by having an effect on a
- 1:18Speaker 7: specific receptor in the brain, relieving the intensity of migraine.
- 1:23Speaker 7: Ask your pharmacist about Sumatran Relief. Always read the leaflet.
- 1:30Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Gerald. As a full-time carer, I was on
- 1:32Speaker 8: my feet all day. I developed plantar fasciitis and was
- 1:36Speaker 8: barely able to walk. I went to Foot Solutions where
- 1:39Speaker 8: I got a full foot assessment and gait analysis. They
- 1:42Speaker 8: recommended custom-made orthotics and supportive footwear. Within a couple of weeks,
- 1:46Speaker 8: the pain was gone and I was back to being
- 1:48Speaker 8: able to support my husband. Foot Solutions helped me to
- 1:50Speaker 8: keep going when I really needed to.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Book your free foot assessment at footsolutions.ie or pop in
- 1:56Speaker 1: store today.

- 2:43Speaker 9: For you men and.
- 2:49Speaker 10: Women....
- 3:10Speaker 11: In the armed forces of the United Nations, we present
- 3:13Speaker 11: one of America's top spine thinkers. A radio rebroadcast of
- 3:20Speaker 11: a program dedicated to the mysterious, the unusual, and sometimes
- 3:26Speaker 11: the supernatural.
- 3:28Speaker 10: A program of....
- 3:32Speaker 9: Suspense!
- 3:38Speaker 10: This is the truth. You understand? The truth. It must
- 3:43Speaker 10: be the truth. It has to be. I, Robert Winsley Graham,
- 3:56Speaker 10: a doctor and psychiatrist by profession, do hereby of my
- 3:58Speaker 10: own free will and volition, albeit with deepest regret, make
- 4:02Speaker 10: the following full and complete statement relative to that all
- 4:05Speaker 10: but unbelievable series of events which has brought such disaster
- 4:09Speaker 10: and misfortune to my house. particularly to my poor wife, Isabel.
- 4:12Speaker 10: It had its beginning, properly speaking, some two months ago,
- 4:16Speaker 10: to be exact, on the evening of July 25th. We
- 4:20Speaker 10: were in the drawing room, Isabel at the piano, practicing things,
- 4:22Speaker 10: she said. Her Aunt Jane and I on the opposite
- 4:25Speaker 10: side of the room.
- 4:31Speaker 6: Isabel, what's the matter? I don't know.
- 4:35Speaker 12: I can't seem to keep my mind on anything anymore,
- 4:37Speaker 12: even my music.
- 4:39Speaker 4: It's embarrassing.
- 4:40Speaker 10: No. Isabel.
- 4:42Speaker 8: Yes, Robert?
- 4:43Speaker 10: I don't wish to distress you, but it's been going
- 4:46Speaker 10: on for quite a little while now. It's not getting
- 4:47Speaker 10: any better.
- 4:48Speaker 6: I know.
- 4:48Speaker 12: Let's not discuss it, shall we?
- 4:51Speaker 10: You should let me prescribe treatment for you.
- 4:53Speaker 13: I could prescribe something for her.
- 4:55Speaker 10: You can do remarkable things now. It's just the common
- 4:58Speaker 10: old drugs under proper control.
- 5:00Speaker 14: Drugs?
- 5:01Speaker 6: It's not drugs that she needs. It's to get out
- 5:04Speaker 6: of this house for a while.
- 5:05Speaker 13: It's to get back to the concert stage where she belongs.
- 5:08Speaker 10: It's worth.
- 5:10Speaker 6: I don't believe in beating around the bush. You're an artist.
- 5:13Speaker 6: You've got talent.
- 5:14Speaker 14: There's no sense in your trying to subordinate yourself to
- 5:16Speaker 14: somebody else.
- 5:17Speaker 12: Aunt Jane, that's enough. I'm not subordinating myself to anyone.
- 5:21Speaker 10: Really, Aunt Jane, you mustn't interfere, you know.
- 5:22Speaker 5: Robert doesn't want me to go back on the stage.
- 5:25Speaker 10: Darling, it isn't that I don't want you to go back.
- 5:27Speaker 10: I'm proud of you. You know that. Only because I think...
- 5:31Speaker 10: Because I know that going back to a professional career
- 5:34Speaker 10: in your present mental condition would be terribly harmful.
- 5:37Speaker 4: I know, Robert.
- 5:39Speaker 9: I know you're not.
- 5:40Speaker 10: After all, I'm a doctor. It's my business to know
- 5:42Speaker 10: these things. I get it. Probably the hospital. Hello?
- 5:46Speaker 4: Hello?
- 5:48Speaker 10: Yes, it's Dr. Graham. Oh, yes. Who? Well, when would
- 5:59Speaker 10: you like to see me? All right.
- 6:03Speaker 6: Fine.
- 6:04Speaker 10: No, no, no.
- 6:05Speaker 6: Trouble is all. I.
- 6:07Speaker 10: Well, I'll be expecting you. Goodbye. What do you suppose
- 6:13Speaker 10: that was?
- 6:13Speaker 6: Who?
- 6:14Speaker 10: Roger Holcomb. You remember the case?
- 6:16Speaker 9: Roger Holcomb?
- 6:17Speaker 6: I remember it.
- 6:18Speaker 10: What did you do? The fellow was brought back from
- 6:20Speaker 10: the dead, as the newspapers put it, about a year ago.
- 6:22Speaker 6: Oh, man.
- 6:24Speaker 10: He really was dead for four minutes, as far as
- 6:26Speaker 10: medical science was concerned. Then they brought him around. It
- 6:29Speaker 10: was a nine-day wonder at the time.
- 6:31Speaker 6: What did he want to see you about?
- 6:32Speaker 10: Nothing to do with his experience, obviously. It was a
- 6:34Speaker 10: terribly agitated state for a fellow to.
- 6:36Speaker 14: Be walking up and down... For another hour, trying.
- 6:38Speaker 10: To get up courage to ring the bell. Finally, phone
- 6:40Speaker 10: from the corner drug store. Why, the poor man.
- 6:42Speaker 12: Why in the world should.
- 6:43Speaker 10: He do that? The anxiety in Europe did think. Hounded him,
- 6:46Speaker 10: you know, in the most shocking way.
- 6:47Speaker 14: Got out of the hospital.
- 6:49Speaker 10: Preachers and spiritualists and movie agents and plain fakers. People
- 6:53Speaker 10: trying to find out if he remembered anything of the
- 6:54Speaker 10: four minutes. He was supposed to be dead. People just
- 6:58Speaker 10: trying to exploit him. Oh, must be welcome now. Take
- 7:03Speaker 10: him into the office. Dr.
- 7:10Speaker 6: Graham?
- 7:11Speaker 10: Yes, you're Roger Holcomb? Yes. Come in. Pleasure to meet you, Mr.
- 7:15Speaker 14: Holcomb.
- 7:15Speaker 9: Pleasure.
- 7:16Speaker 10: You come this way, please, to my office. Not to
- 7:20Speaker 10: sit down anywhere. Lie down on the couch, if you like.
- 7:23Speaker 10: You're tired. I am tired. Tired and... Give me a hand, please.
- 7:27Speaker 6: For heaven's sake, there's nothing wrong with my pulse. Of
- 7:29Speaker 6: course you think it is.
- 7:30Speaker 10: I'll go. Why did you come to me, Mr. Holcomb?
- 7:34Speaker 6: You know my history?
- 7:35Speaker 10: Yes, most medical men do. Up until you're... Disappearance? Yeah.
- 7:40Speaker 6: Most medical men do, all right. Then they tell me
- 7:43Speaker 6: I'm crazy.
- 7:44Speaker 10: You think you are, Mr. Holcomb? Oh, I see.
- 7:46Speaker 6: You're like all the rest. Let go of me, please.
- 7:48Speaker 10: Just a minute, Mr. Holcomb. You came to me for advice. Treatment.
- 7:54Speaker 10: I suggest you tell me your story.
- 7:56Speaker 6: Well, I was told you specialized in strange cases. Think
- 8:02Speaker 6: that other men can't.
- 8:03Speaker 10: That's true in a way.
- 8:05Speaker 6: You know what happened when I fell out of the hospital.
- 8:06Speaker 7: Yes.
- 8:07Speaker 6: Followed me, questioned.
- 8:08Speaker 13: Me, founded me, day and night, trying to find out
- 8:11Speaker 13: if I remembered anything, had experienced anything.
- 8:14Speaker 10: Beyond the grave. Yes, I remember that.
- 8:17Speaker 6: Well, then you remember that my answer was always the same.
- 8:20Speaker 6: I remembered nothing, but I knew nothing.
- 8:25Speaker 10: I was wrong. What did you experience during those four minutes?
- 8:31Speaker 6: I don't know. There must have been something. Something I
- 8:35Speaker 6: don't even dare to think about.
- 8:37Speaker 10: How do you know this?
- 8:39Speaker 13: Well, it happened the first time on a boat trip,
- 8:42Speaker 13: which I'd taken to recover my health. I found myself
- 8:45Speaker 13: chatting with a woman who was seated at my.
- 8:47Speaker 10: Table in the dining saloon.
- 8:48Speaker 6: She found occasion, as such women often will, to mention
- 8:50Speaker 6: her age. She said, after all, I'm not yet 40.
- 8:53Speaker 6: And then it happened.
- 8:56Speaker 10: What happened?
- 8:57Speaker 13: Well, from somewhere came crashing.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Into my mind a certain knowledge of the exact day
- 9:03Speaker 6: and year of that woman's birth. And with it, A
- 9:06Speaker 6: compulsion to speak out. A compulsion which I could no
- 9:09Speaker 6: more have resisted than I could have resisted breathing.
- 9:11Speaker 13: I said, Madam, you were born in May, weren't you?
- 9:15Speaker 10: May 30th.
- 9:16Speaker 6: She looked at me in such astonishment.
- 9:19Speaker 10: We'd never even seen.
- 9:20Speaker 6: Each other before in our lives. And said, yes. And
- 9:23Speaker 6: then I added the date.
- 9:24Speaker 10: The year 1900.
- 9:24Speaker 13: See, she was well over 40. She'd lied to me.
- 9:28Speaker 13: Innocent or nothing, but I had known the truth. And
- 9:31Speaker 13: I had been forced to speak. And I had been innocent.
- 9:36Speaker 13: It's a phenomenon that's occurred often.
- 9:40Speaker 6: More times than I can remember.
- 9:41Speaker 13: Every time a direct lie, no matter how trivial, is
- 9:44Speaker 13: uttered in my presence, I suddenly know the answer to
- 9:48Speaker 13: that lie.
- 9:49Speaker 10: I know the truth.
- 9:51Speaker 6: And I'm compelled to speak it.
- 9:53Speaker 10: And this condition has existed only since your.
- 9:55Speaker 6: Since my four minutes beyond the grave Quite. It's as
- 10:01Speaker 6: though in that brief time I glimpsed eternity.
- 10:05Speaker 13: If I'd seen reveal all truth of all the ages,
- 10:10Speaker 13: I can never tell you how horrible such things are.
- 10:13Speaker 13: I've found men, even the most honest of men, live
- 10:17Speaker 13: by lies.
- 10:18Speaker 10: Tell me. You have a family, friends who are understanding.
- 10:20Speaker 6: Oh, for heaven's sake, doctor, don't you understand what this
- 10:23Speaker 6: has done to me? Yes, I have a family and friends,
- 10:25Speaker 6: but still I'm.
- 10:26Speaker 10: Going to marry.
- 10:28Speaker 6: Today I'm an outcast, a pariah. I'm shunned. See it?
- 10:32Speaker 6: I hate it. I hate it.
- 10:34Speaker 7: Mr.
- 10:35Speaker 10: Hogan.
- 10:36Speaker 7: Mr.
- 10:37Speaker 10: Hogan, I believe that this condition is very real to you.
- 10:39Speaker 10: It causes you very real anguish. I want to help you.
- 10:43Speaker 6: Do you think you can?
- 10:45Speaker 10: I'm confident that I can. I thought you could arrange
- 10:47Speaker 10: to stay with me here at my home for a
- 10:49Speaker 10: matter of weeks or months, if necessary.
- 10:51Speaker 6: Well, I'll do anything.
- 10:52Speaker 10: Go on.
- 10:52Speaker 6: Anything in the world to be a normal man again, but.
- 10:54Speaker 10: But what?
- 10:56Speaker 6: Dr.
- 10:57Speaker 10: Graham, I.
- 10:58Speaker 6: I can see that you still don't believe me right now.
- 11:00Speaker 6: I beg of you.
- 11:01Speaker 13: You don't know the terrible responsibility I'd be dealing with.
- 11:04Speaker 13: I'd be like a spy, like some inexorable prosecutor from
- 11:07Speaker 13: another world.
- 11:07Speaker 10: Oh, come on. Let me worry about that. All right.
- 11:14Speaker 6: Is there anyone else in your household who might object?
- 11:16Speaker 10: Oh, there's only my wife and her aunt.
- 11:18Speaker 14: Have your own quarters.
- 11:18Speaker 10: They're quite comfortable, actually.
- 11:20Speaker 6: I'm sure I do.
- 11:21Speaker 14: It's a lovely house, what I've seen of it.
- 11:23Speaker 10: Yes, I'm rather lucky. I'm interested in research primarily, not
- 11:26Speaker 10: much money in that, you know, but a couple.
- 11:28Speaker 14: Of years ago I came into quite a nice inheritance.
- 11:30Speaker 14: I'll point with it.
- 11:33Speaker 10: What is it? What's the matter?
- 11:35Speaker 6: The inheritance was not yours. It was your wife's. The
- 11:41Speaker 6: house is your wife's. You were penniless.
- 11:51Speaker 10: That's true. I don't know why I lied to you.
- 11:55Speaker 10: I tried, I suppose. I'm sorry.
- 11:58Speaker 6: I told you I couldn't help it.
- 12:00Speaker 2: No, no.
- 12:00Speaker 6: I'll go now.
- 12:01Speaker 10: Please. Mr. Holcomb, it's my fault. It doesn't matter.
- 12:05Speaker 6: But you see now that I.
- 12:06Speaker 10: I want to help you.
- 12:07Speaker 6: Do you believe me now?
- 12:10Speaker 10: I believe Mr. Holcomb. I know that you are far
- 12:13Speaker 10: more ill than I realize, but it must have come.
- 12:18Speaker 10: You and I must venture into a realm never before
- 12:21Speaker 10: explored by mortal man. It was utterly fantastic, and yet
- 12:34Speaker 10: it was true. I checked the facts again and again.
- 12:38Speaker 10: He could not possibly have known, and yet he knew.
- 12:42Speaker 10: Could you imagine what this meant to a man of science?
- 12:45Speaker 14: If I could.
- 12:47Speaker 10: Fathom the depths of Roger Holcomb's mind, I could make
- 12:50Speaker 10: a contribution to the body of scientific knowledge absolutely without
- 12:54Speaker 10: parallel in modern times. I could be more famous than Factura, Eric.
- 13:00Speaker 10: I remained the problem of Ithabel. Not aware of the danger,
- 13:03Speaker 10: of course, I was acutely aware of the peculiarly delicate
- 13:05Speaker 10: balance of the mind at that time. The fact that
- 13:08Speaker 10: the presence of a man like Roger Holcomb... might be
- 13:11Speaker 10: seriously detrimental to my rather well-conceived plans for Isabel. I
- 13:16Speaker 10: believed I could control the situation. I determined to proceed. Actually,
- 13:21Speaker 10: Holton's presence made itself felt almost immediately. The first incident
- 13:25Speaker 10: came after.
- 13:33Speaker 10: Isabel, please stop that playing and listen to me.
- 13:37Speaker 12: And, Jane, you know Robert has said I mustn't talk
- 13:39Speaker 12: about it. That it's bad for me.
- 13:40Speaker 14: I don't care what Robert says.
- 13:42Speaker 4: But he's my.
- 13:42Speaker 5: Doctor and my husband.
- 13:43Speaker 6: And I'm not sure that he should be either. Oh, Jane.
- 13:48Speaker 14: I don't know much about psychiatry, but I do know.
- 13:50Speaker 12: That making trouble between a husband and a wife... I'm
- 13:52Speaker 12: not making anything that.
- 13:53Speaker 14: Isn't there already.
- 13:54Speaker 6: And you know it. Good heavens, girls.
- 13:57Speaker 12: Look at yourselves.
- 13:58Speaker 13: Look what's happened to.
- 13:59Speaker 14: You since your marriage.
- 14:00Speaker 10: I've been sick.
- 14:00Speaker 12: He's made you sick. That's ridiculous.
- 14:02Speaker 13: Maybe it's just that he's afraid.
- 14:04Speaker 6: Of losing you. Maybe he's even afraid of losing your money.
- 14:08Speaker 12: But I'm absolutely convinced that whether he's meant to or not,
- 14:11Speaker 12: he's made you believe there's something the matter with you
- 14:12Speaker 12: that isn't. Aunt Jane, I simply forbid you to talk
- 14:15Speaker 12: this way.
- 14:15Speaker 13: And now he brings this psychopath into the house.
- 14:17Speaker 12: And don't bring Roger into it. He's Robert's patient. It's
- 14:21Speaker 12: Robert's work and it's none of our business.
- 14:22Speaker 6: What about your own work?
- 14:24Speaker 12: It doesn't matter.
- 14:24Speaker 6: It doesn't matter?
- 14:25Speaker 12: Aunt Jane, you simply don't understand.
- 14:28Speaker 5: Robert is my husband.
- 14:30Speaker 10: I trust him and I love him.
- 14:32Speaker 12: Nothing can ever come between us.
- 14:34Speaker 10: I'd destroy anything.
- 14:37Speaker 6: I'd kill anyone who tried. Isabel. Isabel, do something.
- 14:41Speaker 10: Before it's too late, do her. Get away.
- 14:43Speaker 6: Leave him. Divorce him. Anything. Oh, I hope we're not interrupting.
- 14:47Speaker 14: Of course not, darling.
- 14:49Speaker 12: Hello, Roger.
- 14:49Speaker 9: Hello, Isabel.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Good afternoon.
- 14:52Speaker 12: How are you feeling, Roger?
- 14:54Speaker 10: I'm better, I think. I think it would be better
- 14:56Speaker 10: if we didn't.
- 14:57Speaker 14: Discuss our state of mind, Isabel.
- 15:00Speaker 6: Oh, of course. I'm sorry.
- 15:02Speaker 7: Well, would you like me to.
- 15:04Speaker 12: Play something for you?
- 15:05Speaker 14: You know, I think I'm beginning to get the feel
- 15:07Speaker 14: of it again.
- 15:08Speaker 6: Really, I do.
- 15:09Speaker 10: I'm sure we haven't interrupted some conversation.
- 15:11Speaker 6: Of course not.
- 15:12Speaker 13: We were just discussing how helpful you've been in getting
- 15:15Speaker 13: Isabel back to her work again.
- 15:17Speaker 10: Roger.
- 15:20Speaker 9: No.
- 15:21Speaker 6: No, you're not. You were telling Isabel to divorce her husband.
- 15:30Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- 15:32Speaker 12: Sergeant, come back.
- 15:33Speaker 10: Isabel, is that true?
- 15:35Speaker 6: You brought in in here deliberately. Is that true? It
- 15:37Speaker 6: doesn't matter, I suppose.
- 15:38Speaker 12: You've known how I felt for a long time.
- 15:40Speaker 10: Yes, I'm afraid I have.
- 15:40Speaker 12: Robert, it was also silly.
- 15:42Speaker 7: She didn't mean it.
- 15:42Speaker 10: I did mean it.
- 15:43Speaker 6: But I did mean it.
- 15:44Speaker 13: I'm sorry, Isabel.
- 15:46Speaker 10: But I've been under this roof too long, as it is.
- 15:47Speaker 14: Oh, Jane, you're not leaving us.
- 15:49Speaker 6: It's death, Isabel.
- 15:50Speaker 10: Yes? Yes, I think it's unquestionably death. Death that you
- 15:56Speaker 10: go at once. She left us, of course. I'd always
- 16:05Speaker 10: believed that Jane exercised an unfortunate influence over Isabel. I
- 16:09Speaker 10: did not dream that it reached such a point at this.
- 16:12Speaker 10: Yet this incident gave me my first insight into the
- 16:15Speaker 10: relationship which was destined to develop between Isabel, Roger, and myself.
- 16:21Speaker 10: The first and most obvious result was that within a
- 16:23Speaker 10: matter of weeks, Isabel was to lose every friend she had.
- 16:28Speaker 10: We became further estranged. C'est pas. It was difficult to
- 16:32Speaker 10: speak of even the most casual things with this strangely
- 16:36Speaker 10: terrifying specter of truth. How was I held on? The
- 16:42Speaker 10: situation reached its inevitable climax the evening that Leopold Serinsky,
- 16:46Speaker 10: the famous conductor of the Los Angeles Symphony of the Column,
- 16:48Speaker 10: is about with a beautiful resumption of her professional career
- 16:50Speaker 10: under his auspices. I gave a great deal of thought
- 16:53Speaker 10: to that evening. It had to be handled with great.
- 16:59Speaker 10: Robert, you will help me, won't you? Of course I will, darling.
- 17:01Speaker 5: I don't know whether you'll realize how important it is
- 17:03Speaker 5: to me. I have nothing but the music now. I've
- 17:07Speaker 5: been working so hard. It's paying sometimes half the night,
- 17:10Speaker 5: are you okay?
- 17:10Speaker 10: Yes, I've heard you.
- 17:12Speaker 5: Sometimes it seems that... that the piano's all that's helping
- 17:16Speaker 5: me to keep my sanity.
- 17:17Speaker 10: My darling, I want you to let me prescribe something
- 17:20Speaker 10: for you. Time with Facebook thing, you'll trouble, I mean.
- 17:23Speaker 12: Robert, does he have to have dinner with us tonight?
- 17:27Speaker 10: Roger that. Isabel, you know how I stand on that.
- 17:30Speaker 12: Oh, yes, because they want.
- 17:30Speaker 10: Now, even once, Isabel, keep him in his room like
- 17:34Speaker 10: a spoiled child and we have guests. Isabel, it might
- 17:39Speaker 10: undo everything I've accomplished in weeks.
- 17:41Speaker 6: Oh, come.
- 17:42Speaker 9: No, no.
- 17:43Speaker 10: Roger, come in. Robert, I.
- 17:46Speaker 6: I was wondering if I might be excused. Just a minute.
- 17:49Speaker 10: You're having dinner with us, Roger?
- 17:51Speaker 6: Must I?
- 17:52Speaker 10: No, you must, Roger. And you know why.
- 17:54Speaker 12: Why, Roger, don't you want to meet the great Leopold Surinsky?
- 17:56Speaker 14: He's really a wonderful person.
- 17:58Speaker 6: Yes, indeed I would very much.
- 17:59Speaker 12: You know, I made my debut with him in 1934.
- 18:02Speaker 14: I did a concert with him every year until my.
- 18:05Speaker 12: Until I.
- 18:06Speaker 10: Isabel was very talented, you know. I was?
- 18:10Speaker 4: I am.
- 18:10Speaker 5: Oh, Roger, I'm going to play with him again.
- 18:13Speaker 12: He wants me to open the season in November. Can
- 18:16Speaker 12: you imagine what that means to me?
- 18:17Speaker 10: I'm so glad, Isabel.
- 18:18Speaker 12: And Robert has finally given his consent. Haven't you, dear?
- 18:21Speaker 10: I'm sorry. What did you say, Isabel?
- 18:25Speaker 12: I said you'd given your consent to my playing with Serinsky.
- 18:27Speaker 6: Well, Isabel, you.
- 18:30Speaker 10: You know I don't want you to think that I'd
- 18:33Speaker 10: ever stand in your way.
- 18:34Speaker 6: I know, dear.
- 18:36Speaker 5: Roger, I'll do the Emperor Concerto, and you will come
- 18:40Speaker 5: to hear me.
- 18:40Speaker 12: You do want to, don't you, Roger?
- 18:42Speaker 6: Please, Isabel, don't ask things of me that.
- 18:44Speaker 10: What's the matter?
- 18:46Speaker 12: What's the matter with both of you? You acted as
- 18:48Speaker 12: though you thought I wouldn't be able to appear. As
- 18:51Speaker 12: though the whole idea were hopeless or something.
- 18:53Speaker 10: Isabel, please. I am going to play.
- 18:56Speaker 12: I'll be better than I ever was. You know I will,
- 18:58Speaker 12: don't you?
- 18:59Speaker 6: Don't you?
- 18:59Speaker 14: Of course, Isabel.
- 19:00Speaker 10: You play wonderfully. Roger.
- 19:04Speaker 6: Now, Robert, you're very certain that Isabel will be prevented
- 19:09Speaker 6: from ever playing again. I can't.
- 19:15Speaker 14: Death?
- 19:16Speaker 10: Oh, Isabel, forgive me. Forgive me, please.
- 19:20Speaker 12: My death.
- 19:21Speaker 4: No.
- 19:23Speaker 9: Oh, no.
- 19:24Speaker 12: Please, Roger, it's not true. Tell me it isn't.
- 19:28Speaker 10: Roger, answer me.
- 19:31Speaker 14: Answer me.
- 19:32Speaker 12: Roger, do you hear me?
- 19:33Speaker 10: Answer me. Answer me!
- 19:46Speaker 14: When Serinsky arrived, I told him it would be quite
- 19:48Speaker 14: impossible for Isabel.
- 19:48Speaker 10: To leave her room. The concert was cancelled, and indeed,
- 19:51Speaker 10: to my knowledge, she'd never touched the piano since that day.
- 19:53Speaker 10: By now, to even the most casual observer, it must
- 19:56Speaker 10: appear only natural that Isabel had every motive for a desperate,
- 20:00Speaker 10: almost paranoid hatred of Roger Holmgren. This much is clear
- 20:03Speaker 10: to me. The rest, not yet. But one thing from
- 20:07Speaker 10: any point of view was certain. I had to keep
- 20:09Speaker 10: Roger and Isabel apart. Perhaps what I feared was indeed inevitable.
- 20:14Speaker 10: I honestly did not think it so at the time.
- 20:17Speaker 14: The precautionary measure, however, I prescribed the drug for Isabel.
- 20:20Speaker 10: Which she had not consented to take. I gave her
- 20:22Speaker 10: her own supply. She'd minute to do it, though. And
- 20:25Speaker 10: I had directed it. Roger?
- 20:29Speaker 9: Roger?
- 20:30Speaker 10: Yes?
- 20:31Speaker 6: It is a miracle. What do you want?
- 20:37Speaker 14: Let me in, please.
- 20:39Speaker 4: No.
- 20:39Speaker 10: Please, it's terribly important.
- 20:41Speaker 15: I know.
- 20:43Speaker 12: But he said it would be all right this time.
- 20:45Speaker 6: You said? Yes.
- 20:47Speaker 10: Yes, please.
- 20:49Speaker 6: Now, what do you want?
- 20:53Speaker 12: I want to talk to you, that's all.
- 20:55Speaker 6: What about it?
- 20:56Speaker 10: It's so important.
- 20:58Speaker 12: Roger, why don't you ever leave your room anymore?
- 21:02Speaker 10: Don't you get?
- 21:03Speaker 5: Do you think I hate you?
- 21:06Speaker 6: Isabel, I don't know what to think anymore.
- 21:08Speaker 12: You do, don't you?
- 21:09Speaker 6: I warned him. I told him it would happen. Now
- 21:12Speaker 6: I'm going mad up here thinking of the anguish I've
- 21:14Speaker 6: caused you.
- 21:14Speaker 12: But, Roger, I don't.
- 21:16Speaker 6: You must believe me.
- 21:17Speaker 10: I know what it's been.
- 21:17Speaker 6: Like for you having me here.
- 21:20Speaker 5: For the first time in my life, I think my
- 21:23Speaker 5: husband is wrong about something.
- 21:26Speaker 10: Wrong?
- 21:26Speaker 12: Yes. Don't you see? He's been worried about both of us.
- 21:30Speaker 12: And so this disgust is blown up between us.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Well, I don't disgust you. You've been more wonderful.
- 21:36Speaker 9: Than either of us.
- 21:37Speaker 12: But you're afraid of me. And that amounts to the
- 21:40Speaker 12: same thing.
- 21:41Speaker 14: And it's bad for the both of us.
- 21:43Speaker 12: It's hurting both of us.
- 21:45Speaker 6: Well, I've often felt I wanted to talk to you
- 21:47Speaker 6: and beg your pardon.
- 21:48Speaker 12: Oh, you don't have to do that. We're both sick.
- 21:52Speaker 12: But I think if we saw each other sometimes, if
- 21:54Speaker 12: we talked the whole thing out, it would help us both.
- 21:57Speaker 6: Does Robert think so, too? No. Then he didn't tell
- 22:03Speaker 6: you it was all right to see him?
- 22:05Speaker 10: No.
- 22:06Speaker 13: I lied to him.
- 22:08Speaker 10: You what? I lied to him.
- 22:11Speaker 6: You lied to him?
- 22:12Speaker 12: And it didn't happen.
- 22:14Speaker 10: Isabel, don't you see? I am getting worried.
- 22:16Speaker 6: It didn't happen.
- 22:17Speaker 10: I know. I don't think it does happen anymore. Except
- 22:22Speaker 10: it's probable. It's probable?
- 22:24Speaker 6: What makes you think it is?
- 22:25Speaker 10: I don't know.
- 22:25Speaker 14: Something about the way he acts.
- 22:30Speaker 6: I'm not sure what he is. Oh, but he is.
- 22:32Speaker 6: He is sharing that. Perhaps you shouldn't have come up
- 22:34Speaker 6: with that. No, no, don't you understand? We must see
- 22:36Speaker 6: each other.
- 22:36Speaker 12: We must talk.
- 22:37Speaker 6: Oh, listen to me.
- 22:39Speaker 9: Isabel. Robert.
- 22:41Speaker 6: Something's happened that.
- 22:41Speaker 10: I must talk about. Please, you're completely overwrought. Oh, but Robert,
- 22:43Speaker 10: it's not.
- 22:44Speaker 6: I must insist. Isabel, why did you do this?
- 22:45Speaker 10: I'm sorry. I'm going to send it to you right away. Isabel,
- 22:47Speaker 10: get the bottle from your room.
- 22:48Speaker 5: Mine?
- 22:49Speaker 10: Yes, please hurry.
- 22:50Speaker 9: All right.
- 22:51Speaker 10: Robert, she lied to me. Yes, I know. But, Roger,
- 22:54Speaker 10: I must ask you to forbid you to talk now.
- 22:55Speaker 10: You must trust me.
- 22:56Speaker 14: Oh, but.
- 22:57Speaker 6: Later, I want to have a long talk with you.
- 22:58Speaker 10: Of course we shall.
- 22:59Speaker 9: Here it is.
- 23:01Speaker 14: I thought I had to give it to you.
- 23:02Speaker 10: I'm glad you did. The other one's in his leg.
- 23:04Speaker 10: I'm going to give it to you. All right. I'm sorry,
- 23:07Speaker 10: but this is upsetting me rather badly. My hands are shaking.
- 23:09Speaker 6: Robert, I'm terribly sorry.
- 23:10Speaker 10: I don't know. Give him the epidemic. That's right. Thank you.
- 23:16Speaker 10: Leave it now.
- 23:16Speaker 6: Be visible.
- 23:16Speaker 10: All right. How are you feeling now, Roger?
- 23:21Speaker 6: Well, I'm fine, Robert.
- 23:23Speaker 10: I'm fine.
- 23:23Speaker 6: I think I'm better than I've been in months.
- 23:25Speaker 10: I know you're better. Why are you so upset to
- 23:27Speaker 10: see me?
- 23:28Speaker 6: That's why, Robert.
- 23:29Speaker 10: I can't tell you all my reasons now, but you
- 23:31Speaker 10: must trust me and believe it.
- 23:32Speaker 6: Oh, I do, but.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Only that I'm afraid for your health.
- 23:37Speaker 9: Roger.
- 23:40Speaker 6: No. You're afraid of murder.
- 23:44Speaker 10: What? Murder.
- 23:46Speaker 14: Roger, listen to me.
- 23:48Speaker 10: Roger. Murder. Roger, what are you talking about? Roger! Roger!
- 23:57Speaker 9: Roger!
- 24:03Speaker 10: It was clear to me now. I knew I must
- 24:08Speaker 10: take immediate action. I knew that the most terrible consequences
- 24:11Speaker 10: might result in that I were alone with Roger. Even
- 24:13Speaker 10: for a moment. But he knew that he said there
- 24:16Speaker 10: was no other explanation. I thought it through most carefully.
- 24:19Speaker 10: And yet no plans were perfected. No man is infallible.
- 24:33Speaker 6: Isabel!
- 24:34Speaker 10: What are you doing?
- 24:37Speaker 9: Nothing.
- 24:37Speaker 10: Don't lie to me, Isabel. I'm not. You were coming
- 24:39Speaker 10: from Roger's room. No.
- 24:41Speaker 5: No, I swear I was.
- 24:42Speaker 10: Isabel, don't you understand that you're sick? And I've insisted
- 24:45Speaker 10: on these things for your own good, and his. All right.
- 24:49Speaker 12: I was going to talk to him, but I can't.
- 24:50Speaker 14: Oh, Isabel.
- 24:52Speaker 10: Why do you try to tell me that?
- 24:53Speaker 6: It is true, Robert.
- 24:54Speaker 9: Really true.
- 24:55Speaker 4: Is it?
- 24:57Speaker 10: Roger? Roger? What's the matter? Look. Robert.
- 25:11Speaker 6: No, it couldn't be.
- 25:12Speaker 10: It is. He's dead.
- 25:14Speaker 9: Dead?
- 25:15Speaker 10: Hypodermic by inside. The drug. Your drug. Your hypodermic.
- 25:18Speaker 12: But it's only a fantasy.
- 25:19Speaker 10: Except in large enough quarters, it's fatal. You knew that.
- 25:21Speaker 12: Oh, Robert, don't listen to me.
- 25:22Speaker 10: Isabel, why? Why, I've warned you.
- 25:24Speaker 12: Robert, look at me.
- 25:26Speaker 5: If Isabel is your wife, you can't... Oh, no.
- 25:29Speaker 12: Where are you going?
- 25:30Speaker 5: Come back.
- 25:31Speaker 6: I'm going to call the police.
- 25:36Speaker 15: This perhaps is the most terrible decision a man ever
- 25:46Speaker 15: had to make.
- 25:47Speaker 10: Even though it did come not as a shock to me,
- 25:50Speaker 10: even from my point of view as a scientist, but
- 25:53Speaker 10: terrible enough. Yet it had to be done, and I
- 25:57Speaker 10: had done it.
- 25:59Speaker 14: I did not speak to her.
- 26:00Speaker 10: We waited, and she made no further attempt to appeal
- 26:02Speaker 10: to me. She seemed utterly stupefied, perhaps as a result
- 26:05Speaker 10: of the drug she had herself been taking. Perhaps because
- 26:09Speaker 10: she suddenly realized she was hopelessly trapped. When he arrived,
- 26:13Speaker 10: I told the story with a little emotion.
- 26:17Speaker 9: Yes.
- 26:18Speaker 10: Yes, there are fingerprints, all right, on both the bottles.
- 26:20Speaker 10: They're my wife's, of course. They don't belong to us.
- 26:23Speaker 10: Is that true, Mrs. Graham?
- 26:25Speaker 9: Yes. Dr.
- 26:26Speaker 11: Graham, do I understand, then, that you are formally charging
- 26:29Speaker 11: your wife for the murder of Robert Holcomb?
- 26:30Speaker 10: Well, you could hardly expect it, exactly. Except for telling
- 26:33Speaker 10: you the fact. You said you hated Holcomb, and you
- 26:36Speaker 10: knew it. My wife has been mentally ill for some time,
- 26:38Speaker 10: and many people can tell you that.
- 26:40Speaker 14: You can tell me.
- 26:42Speaker 10: Dr. Graham, I can't tell you how sorry I am, but.
- 26:44Speaker 6: things you've told me add up to only one thing.
- 26:47Speaker 10: You yourself obviously recognize. Yes.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Your wife, Isabel Graham, murdered Roger Holcomb.
- 26:55Speaker 10: What did you say?
- 26:56Speaker 6: I said your wife, Isabel Graham, murdered Roger Holcomb.
- 27:02Speaker 10: No. I murdered I tried to make it appear that
- 27:16Speaker 10: Isabelle had done it.
- 27:19Speaker 9: And I succeeded.
- 27:22Speaker 10: But I killed him.
- 27:25Speaker 9: No plans.
- 27:36Speaker 10: Are perfect. No man is infallible. Yes, I killed Roger Holcomb.
- 27:48Speaker 10: But he himself revealed the truth. I'd planned to dispose
- 27:52Speaker 10: of Isabel for many months. I'd never loved her. I'd
- 27:56Speaker 10: loved only science. I wanted her money, and Holcomb found
- 28:00Speaker 10: it out. That was a risk I made. But any
- 28:04Speaker 10: chance to lie in his presence, either by Isabel or myself,
- 28:08Speaker 10: would bring out the truth, and it did. There's no
- 28:13Speaker 10: alternative once he's discovered that. But to kill him? Easy
- 28:19Speaker 10: enough to throw the blame on his adult. I had
- 28:23Speaker 10: not counted on that terrible compulsion for the truth. That
- 28:29Speaker 10: strange affliction of Roger Hogan. Its power over me. Did
- 28:36Speaker 10: it transfer itself at his death to me? Or was it.
- 28:47Speaker 4: Uh....
- 29:09Speaker 10: And so close is rather as well starring orson welles
