  Speaker 1: At this time last week, CBS was broadcasting reports of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Kathy Fiscus tragedy direct from San Marino. Because of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: improvised emergency conditions, communications between our master control room and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the CBS newsmen at the scene were severed at eight
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: thirty and we were unable to immediately continue broadcasting from
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the scene. Because of these conditions, we decided to return
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to our normal broadcast schedule, with the understanding that if
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: an official announcement should be made during the ensuing program,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: it would be interrupted for the release of the announcement.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We regret that we were unable to continue the San
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Marino broadcast at that moment. This was a decision of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the Columbia Broadcasting System and not that of any sponsor.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: The Signal Oil Program. Yes, the Signal Oil Program. The whistler.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That whistle is your signal for the Signal Oil Program.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: The whistler.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I am the whistler, and I know many things.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: For I walk by night.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, friends, it's time for the Signal Oil program, the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Whistler rated tops in popularity for a longer period of
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: time than any other West Coast program in radio history,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and Signal Gasoline.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Is tops two tops in quality. It takes extra quality,
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: you know, to give you extra mile age. And Signal
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: is the famous go farther gasoline. So look for the
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: signal circle sign in yellow and black that identifies independently
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: operated signal stations from Canada to Mexico.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: And now the.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Whistler's strange story sleep My Pretty One.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: A few months before, Jean would have dismissed the whole
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: idea of having her fortune told as ridiculous. But with
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: marriage to a handsome young doctor just around the corner,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: things like tea room fortune tellers suddenly seemed important and exciting,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: so she gave in without argument when her friend Betty
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: suggested they leave their table and visit Madame Zorga and
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: her alcove behind the fringed red curtains in the corner.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: And as the old woman gazed into her crystal and
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: rambled on, Jean found somehow she was taking it all seriously,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: a little too serious to see.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: You will be quiet, please, you will concentrate on the
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: crystal with me.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: Max, be terribly shocked.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I was doing this.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: Gee, please Signorina, I'm sorry.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: It is coming the part now the clouds part.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: I see a number, the number thirteen, and now the
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: number three.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: It is a date, the thirteenth day of the third month,
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: March thirteen. I gazed deeper again.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: The crystal clears, and I see the letter yay and
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: the now the letter V.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: Your initials Gene jafree. What happens? You see why?
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: I have told you go on, arm Dogger. I cannot
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: go on, but there must be SI. I have told you.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: The image page the clouds closing. The reading is finished.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: It's something wrong, of course there is. It sends me
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: right for falling for this hocus pokes. He's not hocus pocus. Signor.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: If you must know, I will tell you there is
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: no future for JV after the thirteenth day of March.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: That's this way of mine.
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: Beddy, here you are Madame's Orger. I better get back
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: to the laboratory. It's late, and don't mention this. Max really,
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: did he ever caught me going to fortune? Tell us
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: he can get himself a new lab assistant and a
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: new fiance.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I'll die.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: I'm late, darling. I had lunch a Betty, she insisted
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: on a tea room across town. You know how that is.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: There? Miss me, doctor, that's a silly question, of course,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I miss you. Dear hand me that peaker, WILLI and
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: then up to my ears around here?
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: Heyah, excuse being use a side?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Where'd you pick up the cold? I have to do
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: something for it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: May I see you a minute, Mitchell?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, Doctor Wilson be with you a minute, Mitchell.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Doctor Davies tells me you want to try your new
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: drug E thirty seven on one of his encephalitic patients.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. The man's been in a coma for
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: three weeks. I think he thirty seven can cure him.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: You think, as head of this institute, I'm afraid I'll
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: have to refuse you my permission. The fact that you
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: injected a bunch of rats with the virus of sleeping sickness.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Which you don't understand, doctor. Those rats had sleeping sickness
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: with all the symptoms, double vision, sleepiness, fever. My drug
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: E thirty seven cured every last one.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: That doesn't mean it's safe for a human being. I'd
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: hoped you'd remember the last hopeless patient it was tried on.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: How long did he last, mitchild? Was it ten seconds
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: or twenty?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: But I told you I found what was wrong. I've
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: eliminated the toxic factor.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Oh, you've eliminated the toxic factor. This institute will not
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: experiment with human lives. I absolutely forbid you giving Davies
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: this drug, and that's final.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: I couldn't help hearing in Max.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems, my love, my work for the past
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: year has been dedicated to a batch of white rats.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: There ought to be some way, There is just one.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: The leg's got to be proven on a human patient.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Olson knows that for thousands of years this disease has
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: been killing human beings like docs, and Olsen says, we
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: can't afford to take a chance.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: It was Darling. He's thinking of the institution.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking of humanity. There's always a risk. That's how
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: we learn, that's how we progress. That's science. Gene, Yes, Geane,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: will you help me?
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Of course, Darling, I'm going to test my formula. I'm
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: going to make the test. And Olsen need never know
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: about it, what kind of it is on a human subject.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: But who can you Darling, listen to me. You love me, yes,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: mag you trust me?
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Trust you.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: You've got to have faith in me, Darling. It means everything.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Of course I have.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I have an aunt living outside spook Cane. We can
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: drive up there tonight.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't understand. Next, how can you make a
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: test on a human subject? Who can you that?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to inject the subject with the virus, then
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: follow it at the peak of the attack with E
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: thirty seven. It's the only way I can chow.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: But you haven't told me who.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: You said you trusted me, Jean. Did you mean it?
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: Max?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Good? Why now let's start packing the equipment. Careful that file, Jeene.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: It take us day to reproduce that drug.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: I'm wrapping it in the cotton. Excuse me, there you are, Max.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I want to do it. You can close up
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: the bag. Oh hold still a moment, dear.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: Why what are you? Max?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: What is this giving you a shot for that? Cold
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: of you? Kind of you sick at a time like this.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: You're a little faint.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I know it always affects you this way. Hey, that's
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: why I didn't want you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: I don't like injections, Max.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Why did you I told you, dear, it's for your cold.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm. You'd better have faith in the doctor, Darling.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: Yes, Max, of course.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Good feel better now mm hmm. Yeah, let's go. Then
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: it's five or six hour drive.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: And Max, aren't you going to leave word where we're going?
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Of course not. I don't want anyone to know where
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: we are or what we're doing until until it's solving.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: With the prologue of sleep, my pretty one, the Signal
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Oil Company brings you another strange story by the Whistler.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I don't have to tell you how automobiles have changed
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: or how driving conditions have changed in recent years. But
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: tonight I want to tell you about an amazing new
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: change in gasoline, a gasoline scientifically engineered to help your
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: car take fullest advantage of today's driving conditions. It's new
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: signal ethel, the new motor fuel that's so vastly improved,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: so superior in every way. You can actually feel the
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: difference because use today's traffic is heavier. New signal EFYL
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: is engineer to let you inch along smoothly at a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: snail's pace without bucking because stop signs are everywhere today.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: New signal ethyl is engineered to give you eager, flashing
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: pickup when you get the go signal. Because today's highways
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: are broader, smoother, swifter, New Signal efyl has wonderful new
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: power that makes the miles fairly fly by. And because
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: many of today's motors have higher compression, New Signal ethyl
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: has higher anti knock to make hill climbing up pleasure.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: To actually feel this difference in your own car, just
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: try a tankful of New Signal ethyl. See if you
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: don't agree with the delighted drivers who are saying New
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Signal ethyl is tops.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: The decision is made, isn't a genie? And you're on
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: your way now to the little farmhouse near Spokane, where
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: it will be decided. Rules are no rules. Whether the
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: contents of the cotton wrap bile in Max's valise are
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: a life saving drug or a deadly poison. You want
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: to help Max now when he needs you most. Whether
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: as you've guide the car nor through the chill March night,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: you can't help feeling uneasy, as if something is terribly wrong,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: And in spite of your belief in Max, you wonder
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: how far he'd go to prove his cure, And you
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: find yourself thinking about the shot for your cold that
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Max gave you. You glance sidewise at him, at the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: solid set of his jaw, wonder who the human subject is.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: He's so vague about his almost fanatic zeal for his work,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: his determination that science must come before all else.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: What's matad, Dear, you're you're sure you're quite riding these
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: huh ah? I mean if doctor Olsen would find out,
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: you'd lose your position.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: If I succeed Olson won't matter much. I'll have offers
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: from every institute in the country. And if you fail,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: you don't matter less. Good launching. Watch the road. I
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: don't know, Max, wats the matter?
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: Put that pa for a moment. Huh I thought I
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: saw two of.
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: Them, cavil.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Now the road's pretty narrow, I can see, thank you. Ah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: There's a house up ahead where the snow held off
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: for a late blizzard. Hell, there we are. There's the
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: old pump house, the apple tree. Oh, I'll watch it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: There's an old stump on the right.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: Who don't mind, Max, I've just driven over two hundred
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: miles of slippery roads safely. I think I can handle
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: a country lane without advice.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Oh.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry. I don't know what's the matter with me?
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I just don't feel like myself. Well, well this must
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: be Jean, come in, I decline. Actually got mighty good
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: as well, Thank you.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I don't bother. She can't hear your gee what she's
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: stone deaf? Best just let her go on her way.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: She will anyway. I see, come out of the kitchen.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Gotta get this stuff on ice.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: I'm glad we want together. I chose you just.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Tired?
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: I guess so?
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Here we are, same old ice box, the clearer place
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: here at the back for the files.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: You got the MAX. I don't like to keep asking this,
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: but yeah, what is it? Where do you expect to
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: find anyone with sleeping sickness around here?
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I don't what very simile?
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: Is?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: There no cases of encephalitis at my disposal.
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: There's only one.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Answer to create one MAX, to inject the subject with
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the virus. Then, after a good case is developed, use
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: E thirty seven whip.
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: We're completely isolated here. Where can you find.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I've already found the subject, Mags, Jean, look what you've done?
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: Swift?
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Why did it have to be this one? E thirty
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: seven seen the cure my cure. Every bit of it
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: was in that vice.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: Just listen to me. Maybe it's better this way. Maybe
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: maybe you better forget about E thirty seven and treat
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: the patient in the ordinary way. Must be a hospital
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: somewhere more ridiculous.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: My E thirty seven is our only chance. I injected
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: twenty thousand units of sleeping sickness virus.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: Fatal dose.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, a fatal dose. We gotta start working on another
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: batch of He's thirty seven right now?
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Come on, you follow Max down the dim old hallway.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: In a day is like a figure in a nightmare,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: the kind where you run slowly as if through water,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: trying to escape, while nameless shapes come closer and closer,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: And though you still refuse to believe, to recognize that
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: one of the shapes is fear, Yes, the fear that
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Max might be using you as the subject in this
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: dangerous experiment.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: What here we are?
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Why it's a laboratory.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: He used to be an Agnes's pantry turned into a
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: lab for me when I was a boy.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: Max, This is nothing like your laboratory in town. How
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: can you expect to synthesize?
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: It's crude, But it's all we've got between what I
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: brought and what's he we can do for KD thirty
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: seven with a little luck. How tired are you, Jeane?
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: I'm all right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Once we start the process, we can't let up for
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: a second. Come on, let's get to work.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: And so it begins.
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: Jane.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: It's midnight when the two of you have straightened out
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: the dusty laboratory, cleaned the glassware, the retorts and Bunsen burners.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Three in the morning, when the first solution is ready
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: to run once more. You're sure your fears are groundless.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Max loves you. He wouldn't think of using you, risking
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: your life for this experiment.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Make a note of the time when you're darling right.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: March tenth, twenty am. Solution completed one hundred three see
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Maga matic my eyes, I chanting the focus coussing.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Double rest a moment you'll be all right.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: Arch eleventh, ten fifteen am. Fourth distill just coming off.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: It's March twelfth, Dear, you've lost a day somewhere.
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: Of course, I don't seem to be conscious of time anymore.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: If I ever get through this, I'm going to build
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: a monument.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: To black coffee hasn't any effect on me anymore?
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And what time is it now?
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: Four pm?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Twenty six hours? We ran that solution. I'll be right
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: by now, got the bigger ready?
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: Yes you, Max, it's.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Paralyzed, steady your hands shaking like a leaf.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Chancy the control?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, because I'm pretty tense to equipment's obsolete to gamble
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: anyway you look at it. Oh, we've got a good chance.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: You've never been afraid of taking chances? Have you mixed?
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: Why do you say that even if it meant gambling
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: with our happiness, your work would come first. Science comes
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: before everything, doesn't it, Max?
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: That's not a fair question.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: I think it's appropriate right now?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? Max?
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: I love you. I'll always love you no matter what happens.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: I want you to know that this is still time
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: to talk this crazy business. There's still time to give
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: the patient one of the standard treatments.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: Thanks?
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: Let me call doctors and please?
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, I see you giving up. It's not that, Max
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: giving up. We're going through with this. My experiments successful.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I want to know myke cure alone is responsible and
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: if not, go on, Max, what if it isn't? And
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: now just have to face the music. I see Where
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: are you going to get some more coffee?
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: You're glad the telephones at the other end of the
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: house that you'll have a chance to get the call
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: through to doctor Olson before Max has a chance to
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: stop you. You wait for the operator to answer, trying
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: to fit the words together in a way that will
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: tell Olson the story without going too hard on Max.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: There's no other explanation, is there, Genie. The dull pain
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: in the back of your head, the nervous disturbance, the
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: deadly fatigue, the double vision can only mean one thing.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: There's little doubt in your mind now Max's aunt, Agnes,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: is obviously all right. So you're almost certain Max has
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: used you as a human guinea pig. His belief and
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: the effectiveness of his drug is one over his love
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: for you.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Why Jeeves trying to make a phone call? Are you?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: The line's been down for hours?
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: Count of the stonecall?
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: You look all worn out, child, No wonder the way
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: you can wait work?
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: You better get to the child. I never seen such.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: Dark circles under anybody's eyes, Miss Listen, not a child?
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: Why are you shaking me like that?
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Pencil by the top? I watch, Agnes, watch what you're writing,
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: Oh Max trying dangerous experiment?
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Stop him?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Life of my life?
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: Do you understand my heath? I wouldn't dream of such
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: a thing. Ain't ever interfered with his doings, not even
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: at the time, and I blew upside the ball. It
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: means a life, my life for one thing or another,
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: but not me. That's science, you know, Max says, that's
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: the way we learn.
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: Jane.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Wait, now that you feel sure Max is experimenting with you, you
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: run blindly out of the house, down the snow covered
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: path to the shed where you left the car. There's
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: only one way now, Jeane. You've got to get to
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: a hospital, a doctor. You've got to get away from
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Max once and for all. And as you fumble for
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: the car keys, the nightmare you've lived through for the
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: past few days comes back in a rush.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I'll inject the subject with the virus, and after a
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: good case is developed, use thirty seven.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: How long did the patient last, Mitchell?
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Was it ten seconds or twenty?
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: I still there.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I'm giving a shot for the call of girls the car.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I saw two of them, couple vision sleepiness, Sleever, there.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: Is no future for Jmi after the thirteenth day of March.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: No future nor union. Why don't you.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Under earth you're doing out here? Where do you think
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: you're going?
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: Thought if I could reach doctor Roles and I wanted
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: to get someone some help.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: There's no help outside, only here. Where's the oxalate.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: On the top shelf of the cupboard.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked there. You'd better come and show.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: Me, all right, mag I'll come.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Mm hm.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: A time? Is it? Geene?
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: About nine?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Is the hypidemic in the stylighter? No, well put it in,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: put it in. We're almost ready now where the notes notes?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, let's see virus injected Monday, March tenth.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Disease approaches critical state pretty close. Better make the final
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: entry gene or next final while I finish here? All right?
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Ready now?
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Max preparing to administer anti encephalitic both drug E thirty seven.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: The subject work commenced on drug at one a m
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: March tenth, completed at nine pm March twelve.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Your hand trembles as you write as you watch Max
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: rise walk slowly to the sterilizer, lift the lid and
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: remove the hypodermic.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: There is no future for.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: J V after the thirteenth day.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Of March you fight it out of your mind, struggle
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: against the fear that grips you. As Max turns hypodermic
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: in hand, everything begins to waver before your eyes. You
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: drop the journal.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: It'll be over in a minute, Jeane, you see, I am.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I simply put the needle in the solution, release the plunge.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: No none, eh, please, Jeans.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: The whistler will return in just a moment with a
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: strange ending to the night's story. In spring, most folks
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: think of house cleaning, but because one can't see the
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: inside of his automobile engine, few drivers realize that they
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: get dirty too and may need cleaning. In fact, that's
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons Signal brought out Signal Premium compounded
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: motor oil, the improved type lubricant that combines one hundred
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: percent pure paraffin base with scientific compounds. While you drive,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: one of the compounds in Signal Premium actually cleanses the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: inside of your motor of harmful carbon gum and varnish. Meantime,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: another compound in Signal Premium is on guard against destructive corrosion,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and still other compounds are busy doing jobs which regular
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: oil alone cannot do. That's why we call signal Premium,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the motor oil that does so much more than just lubricate,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and its wide Drivers who want to keep their motors
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: young are switching to signal service stations, switching to signal
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Premium compounded motor oil.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: It wasn't too much, was it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: Gie.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: The sight of Mac standing there before you, the hypodermic
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: in his hand, ready to administer the anti encephaltic drug
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: to his subject, and as you collapse, has darkness closed
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: in around you. You realize that what you'd suspected all
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: along was true, that you were the subject in his experiment,
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: that Max was gambling with your life. Gradually, as you
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: regain consciousness, you become aware.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Of the room.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: You're in a pretty bright room with organdy curtains. The
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: sun is pouring in now, and suddenly you realize it's afternoon.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Sir, I think she's coming around. You say something, Meg,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: never mind that, Agnes, Well, it's about time, young lady.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Max.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: You slept the clock around allan Chapter three.
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: Max, it's all over, Yes, it's all over.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: You're all right. Oh, there's the doorbell. What's the doorbell? Doorbell?
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, doorbell, I expect it's the judge I'll set him
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: down the parlor.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Good ah Y told the judge. Stropp, buying his way
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: home from Tom, thought we might make an appointment. That is,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: if you don't mind changing your name on an unlucky
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: day like the thirteenth, change my name my initials, unless
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: you'd rather.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: Actually, haven't told me what happened? What did you do?
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: If you hadn't failed when you did, you have seen
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: within an hour after I took that injection, I was
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: feeling eight hours later there wasn't a trace of sleeping
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: sickness in my blood. Well that's science, darling. You risk
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: a little to gain a lot.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Let that whistle will be your signal for the Signal
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Oil program. The whistler each Sunday night at the same time,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: brought to you by the Signal Oil Company, marketers of
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Signal Gasoline and motor oil and fine quality automotive accessories.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Signal has asked me to remind you to get the
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: most driving pleasure. Drive its sensible speeds, be courteous, and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: obey traffic regulations. It may save a life, possibly your own.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Featured in Tonight's story were Betty lou Gerson and Willard Waterman,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: The Whistler was produced by George w Allen, directed by
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Gordon T. Hughes, with story by Ruth Bourne, music by
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Wilbur Hatch, and was transmitted to our troops overseas by
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the Armed Forces Radio Service. The Whistler is entirely fictional,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: and all characters portrayed on the Whistler are also fictional.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Any similarity of names or resemblance two persons living or
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: dead is purely coincidental. Remember, at the same time, next Sunday,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: another strange tale by the Whistler, Marvin Miller speaking. This
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System
