  Speaker 3: This is Robert Montgomery good Night.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: You know, when you stop to think about it, one
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: of the nicest things we say to one another is
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: good night. A lot of thoughts are implied in those
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: two words, and all of them are good. Actually, what
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: we're saying is, have a good night. May it bring
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you rest, May you sleep well, And if your sleep
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: is invaded by dreams, may they be pleasant dreams. All good,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: well and thoughts bound up neatly into two brief words.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Good night and sleep itself is a condition that most
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: of us welcome, quite apart from the biological need it serves.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: We're grateful for the momentary escape, for being removed from reality,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: for the quiet, peaceful hours on the fringe of consciousness,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: and so most of us, most of the time anticipate
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: the night and sleep. Families and good friends regularly surrender
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: each other to the gentle care of the.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Night and call it a good thing. But in the
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: blackest recesses.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Of night, there can be terror, And the very night
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: that offers you sleep may also offer the torment of
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: dark dreams, vivid, terrible, half real dreams that grip you,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: plague you with horror through the night, and are reluctant
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: to release you to the morning. Fear panic, terror of
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: such stuff are nightmares made nightmares like the one we
• 2:56

  Speaker 3: Best known and most imaginative short.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Stories of Cornell Woolrich, writing as William Irish and with
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: our star Eddie Bracken, We again hope to keep you
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: in suspens.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: First, all I could see was this beautiful face, this
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: beautiful girl's face, like a white luminous mask, swimming detachedly
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: against unfolding darkness.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: There was no danger yet, but I wanted to get
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: out of wherever this was. There was eight doors in
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: the room, with no free wall space between.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I tried one, another, a third. They were the wrong ones.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I couldn't get out.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: The flickering white mask began to change its expression.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Slowly it became evil, vindictive. It spoke, It snarld.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: There he is right behind you get.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Him then if he was just a black huddle, a dark,
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: lumpy mass. It slowly uncoiled until it loomed before me, upright.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: It came toward me, toward me, toward me, with cataleptic slewness.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: I wanted to.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Turn and run.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: In the minute, the half minute, that's all I was
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: left now, But I couldn't move.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: I couldn't left the foot.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: I just waved back and forth, as if my shoes
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: were nailed to the floor. He came on, his outline,
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: still indistinct, like a lumpy clay image. I could see
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: the arms come up from the sides and couldn't avoid them.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: They were like lobster claws. I could feel its breath
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: on my face. I could feel the pressure of his
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: hands on the side of my neck rather than in front,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: as if trying to break it rather than strangle me.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: And the thongs were digging into the.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Straining cord right under my ears, pressing into the tender
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: black flesh right beside the jabboks.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I pulled the merciless hands and cried one off.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: At last, but it wrenched free in my restraint, trailing
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: a nail scratch across my wrist, and climbed itself back
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: where it had finn. I beat it his hot body
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: and then pulled it and grabbed at it with the
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: instinctive clutch of.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: A drowning man.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: A button came off in my hand and I hung
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: onto it. I don't know why I just hung onto it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Is he dead? No?
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Not?
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: You finished this?
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: Hurry hand me the drill.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: I put out my hands, passed and to protect myself,
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: and something was put into one of them.
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: She put it into my hand.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Instead of his.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: I fixed my hand on a tight lifted my arm, and.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Drove it into him from the.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Bottom his bed.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Body fell heavily and scrawled across me.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: It took almost a minute for me to push it away.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Is it done?
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: Did it kill him?
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: When I stood up, she saw me, and she disappeared,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: as though swallowed by a shrunk.
• 6:47
  Speaker 11: I hurried.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: I heard a door closed and turned to see which
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: one she used to get out, that I might remember
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: and find my way out.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: But I was too late. When I turned, she was gone,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: and all the doors looked like again. I was alone
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: with a dead body.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: The core of my fear lay sprawled on the floor.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: I had to hide it, had to shut it away.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I tried the doors one by one till one of
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: them opened.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: It was a closet, A shallow closet, but enough to
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: hold the body. I cracked it across the floor, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: I shut the door of the closet, pressing it tight
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: in to keep the terror.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: That the body still held away from me. Below the knob,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: I found.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: A key, a strange key shaped like a three leaf clover.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: I turned it, heard the lock click into place.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Then put the key into my pocket, but I couldn't
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: keep my eyes away from the knob.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: It was turning slowly to the right and into the left,
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: and as it turned.
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: It made a.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Ringing noise, A ringing noise, A ringnob. The door, my phone,
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: the phone, Hello, eight o'clock, fans, Did I wake you?
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: Who is this?
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: It's little your sister.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: I want you to come up for dinner and I, oh, well, look,
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: I'll phone you later when I'm awake.
• 8:21
  Speaker 13: Okay, oh sure, bye bye.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: It was a dream.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: It was all a dream. Near doors, dead bodies, beautiful women.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: How Freudian can you get? Must have been that salami
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: had last night. Never reached salami before going to bed.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: Eleventh commandment fourteen minutes af day. That means I still
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: have time to borrow. I stood staring stupidly at my wrist.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: I was a deep scratch on my wrist. For a minute,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: I was startled. Then I realized what must have happened.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I scratched myself in my sleep, and the details ended
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: into my dream. Yeah, that's what must have happened. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: dropped my watch and it was broken, but it didn't matter.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: It was a cheap one. I continued dressing. I chose
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: a blue tie and threw up the collar and drew
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: the tie.
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: Lane through and folded it again.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Out of my mind was getting ready to get frightened,
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: but I held on to it steady, like I held
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: the collar. In the mirror. I could see them, the
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: bruises on my throat, brownish purple marks which hadn't been
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: there when I went to bed the night before. It
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: took me a moment to realize, to try to reason
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: it out, I must have done this to myself too,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: crossing my arms over my chest and attempting to strangle
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: myself in my sleep. It didn't make much sense, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: it was the best I could do. I decided not
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: to think anything more about it and continued dressing. When
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: I had my jacket on, put my hand in my
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: change pocket and took what was in it to check
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: cop bear and lunch money. A button mixed in with
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: a change, A button that didn't belong to any suitor
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: coat I owned. I closed my hand over it, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: I it had the feel, the shape. There was no
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: doubt about it in my mind. It was the button
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: from the dream. I rushed to the closet, checked every
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: last thing I had. The button matched nothing. It wasn't
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: from anything of mine. It didn't belong anyway. I couldn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: kid myself anymore. People don't find buttons and dreams. I
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: decided I needed a cup of coffee. I was getting
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: the jittis. I slipped into my top coat and opened
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: the door. Then before I shut it, I checked to
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: make sure I had my key. The key I took
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: out of my pocket wasn't my key. It was shaped
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: like a three leafed clover.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: My knees of a week.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: My stomach was quivering, but I couldn't go back into
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: the room. I had to see people here, cars in
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: the streets, but it didn't help. All was real, nothing
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: was wrong. It was me, something in me. I ducked
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: into a drug store, but I couldn't eat. Instead, I
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: went to the phone booth and called my.
• 11:36
  Speaker 13: Sister Lil.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Hello, Hello, Hello, Lil Vince. Yes, is Cliff at home?
• 11:48
  Speaker 12: No, we went down to headquarters an hour ago.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: He expecting him back.
• 11:51
  Speaker 12: I am if he doesn't run off of the blonde.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Then he won't be back until tonight.
• 11:55
  Speaker 12: Well you're a detective too, how'd you figure out?
• 11:58
  Speaker 11: Sorry?
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: I bothered Jula, I just wanted to talk to Cliff.
• 12:01
  Speaker 12: What about dinner? You will be able to Cliff there?
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Dinner? No, thanks, I don't think so. Goodbye. I called
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: the store and told them I was sick. Then I
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: walked all day in the sunshine. Wherever the sun was brightest,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: I saw it and stayed in that place. And when
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: it moved, I moved with it. I couldn't get it
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: bright enough or strong enough, yet it didn't seem to
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: warm me. At about six o'clock, I found myself in
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: front of Cliff's house. The lights around inside, and I
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: could see Cliff. No, it was lil moving around setting
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: the table, preparing dinner. That meant Cliff wasn't home yet.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: I waited outside.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: Oh that's a mootic. Are you afraid to ring the bell?
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Oh? Cliff didn't hear you coming?
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: Well? Are we going in? Are we going to stay
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: out here?
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: I'm hungry, Cliff, I got to talk to you. Something
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: crazy happened to me.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Can I wait an hour? I've had a long, hard day.
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, honey, Well, I thought I heard you talking to
• 13:03
  Speaker 10: someone with you now, Vince? Oh, I said you weren't
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: coming Vince? Well, oh, never mind, the chickens will do
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: for three? Come on in.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Oh that's lil, and there's nothing you can do about it.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: I hadn't eaten all day, and I hardly touched the
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: food she served. I couldn't wait to get Cliff alone
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: and tell them what happened.
• 13:26
  Speaker 13: Detective should be able to help me.
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: I just finished up the dishes and then i'll be back.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: Get your hat, Cliff, I've got to talk to you alone.
• 13:38
  Speaker 14: Sure, kid, Well, Vince and I are going to stretch
• 13:42
  Speaker 14: our legs.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Be back in a couple of.
• 13:43
  Speaker 15: Minutes, now, Cliff, only beer, okay, okay.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: And then there was the button, the same shape and
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: size and everything. It was in my trouser pocket with
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: my change. It's on the dresser back in my own room.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Now if you want to come over, you can see
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: it for yourself.
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: And last of all, the key turned up on me,
• 14:14
  Speaker 11: next to my own keys, in the pocket where I
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: always keep it here.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: This is the key.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's the way it looked when I saw it
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: when I was asleep. The same shape, the same color,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: the same design. It even weighed the same.
• 14:28
  Speaker 14: Hey, you're all in pieces, aren't you. I don't take
• 14:33
  Speaker 14: it that way, kid, don't let to get you, Cliff.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: You've got to help me. I'm walking on a high
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: wire and.
• 14:41
  Speaker 14: There's no net. Where'd you get this key from, Vince?
• 14:44
  Speaker 14: I mean, where did you first get it from? Before
• 14:45
  Speaker 14: you dreamed about it?
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: But you don't understand. That's what I've been trying to
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: tell you. I didn't have it before I dreamed about it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: I never saw it before. Then then I wake up
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: and it turns real.
• 14:56
  Speaker 14: And that goes for the button too, the button two. Hell,
• 15:00
  Speaker 14: you not only have no nut, you don't even have
• 15:03
  Speaker 14: a wire. What really got you going? Are you afraid
• 15:06
  Speaker 14: the dream really happened?
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: Is that it?
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Don't you understand? There's a door somewhere in this city
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: right at this very minute that this key belongs to.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: There's a man propped up dead behind it. I don't
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: know where, I don't know where, know who he is.
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: How why it happened?
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: Only that I I must have been there. I must
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: have done it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: Though, Oh why would it come to my mind like
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: that in my sleep?
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: Why you're in a bad way? Can say? How a
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: little drinker a little and no little?
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: A waiter only coffee?
• 15:44
  Speaker 14: Oh yes, sir, a waiter is two coffee too, coffees.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: When the coffee came, Cliff started questioning me.
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: And the man, the fellow, whoever he was.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: No, I couldn't seem to see his face through the
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: whole thing. I only saw it at the very end,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: after it was already too late, And then when the
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: door started to open again after I locked them in,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: and it seemed as though I was gonna find out
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: something horrible about him.
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: I guess, but I woke up before there was time.
• 16:16
  Speaker 14: And last of all, the place you say, nothing but
• 16:19
  Speaker 14: doors all around you.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: Have you been in a place like that lately?
• 16:23
  Speaker 14: I've ever seen one in a magazine illustration and the
• 16:26
  Speaker 14: story you've read in a movie. No, no, Well, let's
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: get away from the dream for a minute. Let's leave
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: it alone. Starting to get me too. Now, what did
• 16:36
  Speaker 14: you do last night before this whole thing came up?
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Nothing? Just what I do every night. I left the
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: store at the usual time, had my meal at the
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: usual Oh.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, it wasn't something you ate.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: No food is responsible for that key. He can't create
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: a thing like that from a dream, and I didn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: have it when I went to bed last night. Cliff
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: didn't lose his right away. He's a good detective and
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: a good guy.
• 17:04
  Speaker 14: Listen, Vince, there's no halfway business about these things. It's
• 17:08
  Speaker 14: either one thing or the other. Either you dream a
• 17:10
  Speaker 14: thing or you don't dream it.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: It really happens.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: You're twenty six years old. You're not a kid.
• 17:15
  Speaker 14: Now, don't worry. You'd know it and you'd remember it
• 17:17
  Speaker 14: plenty plain afterwards. If you ever came to grips with
• 17:19
  Speaker 14: a guy and he had your butther throat like in
• 17:21
  Speaker 14: this dream, and you ram something in his back. I
• 17:24
  Speaker 14: don't take any stock in this stuff about people walking
• 17:26
  Speaker 14: in this sleet and doing things without knowing it. They
• 17:29
  Speaker 14: can walk a little ways from the bed maybe, but
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: the minute anybody touches him or does anything to stop him,
• 17:33
  Speaker 14: they wake right up. They can't be manhandled, and go
• 17:36
  Speaker 14: right on sleeping through it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: I never walked in my sleeve. You can ask Lil
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: if you think.
• 17:41
  Speaker 14: Now they have any recollection at all, no matter how
• 17:44
  Speaker 14: faint of being out of your room last night, of
• 17:46
  Speaker 14: grappling with a guy or ramming something into him.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: No, all I have is a perfectly clear recollection of
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: going to bed dreaming that I did all these things,
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: and then waking up again.
• 17:59
  Speaker 14: Okay, And that's all there is to it. And it
• 18:01
  Speaker 14: didn't happen you either, dream of me, you do them.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: There's no two ways about it.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Don't say anything a little about it, will you, Cliff.
• 18:09
  Speaker 14: I should say not. I wanted to take you for
• 18:12
  Speaker 14: bugs here. You'll get over it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Nce first, I'll get to the bottom of it, and
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: then I'll get over it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 13: Cliff, are you going to help me?
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: What do you want me to do?
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: Well, you're a detective. You got the key and the
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: buttons are in my room. You must have often had
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: less to work with. Find out where they came from.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Find out what they're doing on me.
• 18:33
  Speaker 14: Now listen, cut that stuff out of you here. I
• 18:35
  Speaker 14: don't want to hear any more about the key. I
• 18:36
  Speaker 14: got it and I'm keeping it, and you're not going
• 18:37
  Speaker 14: to see it again. And if you hop on this
• 18:39
  Speaker 14: spooky stuff anymore, I'll help you. All right right into
• 18:42
  Speaker 14: the nearest sanitarium.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: I was on my own, just like before I had
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: been there, me and my shadows. Next day I phoned
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: the store and told them I still wasn't feeling when
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: then well, I stopped in at a newspaper advertising bureau
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: and composed an ad classified. Yes, real estate.
• 19:06
  Speaker 16: This is the entire copy. Uh huh, check it with
• 19:08
  Speaker 16: me see if it's correct. Please wanted. I am interested
• 19:11
  Speaker 16: in inspecting with a view toward leasing or buying a
• 19:14
  Speaker 16: house with an octagonal mirror paneled room or alcove, period, location, size,
• 19:19
  Speaker 16: and all other details of secondary importance, provided it has
• 19:23
  Speaker 16: this one essential feature desired for reasons of a sentimental nature.
• 19:27
  Speaker 16: Period communicate boxel world express giving exact details.
• 19:31
  Speaker 17: Period.
• 19:32
  Speaker 16: Is that everything you want to say?
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Sir? Yes, I believe. So.
• 19:35
  Speaker 17: How long you wanted to run?
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: A week? Should hear something in that time?
• 19:37
  Speaker 13: Shouldn't?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I should?
• 19:39
  Speaker 16: Lady wants advertised for an alligator that answered to the
• 19:41
  Speaker 16: name Alulu, and she got it in four days.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: I guess alligators answering to the name of Lulu. I'm
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: more plentiful in houses with octagonal mirrored paneled rooms. I
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: got some answers, but none of them are right. None
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: of the houses fit the scene of the dream. Next day, Sunday,
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: I was in my room, hid, hello, Cliff, what are
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: you dressed for?
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: Matter of fact, lil and I are going to take
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: her right out in the country for the day. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: she packed a lunch for three cold beer, hammetless.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: And I'm all right. I don't need fresh air joints
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: to get rid of the devils. If that's the strategy,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: you find, no kid.
• 20:25
  Speaker 14: You see, I got this new secondhand Chevy in exchange
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: to my old secondhand Chevy, and I thought that maybe
• 20:30
  Speaker 14: you'd like.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: In the end, I decided to go with them on
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: their picnic. Cliff was right. There was no point sitting
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: around brooding and waiting for something to happen. I might
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: as well forget it for a few hours if I could.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: After our picnic lunch, I was almost beginning to relax.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: Have another sandwich, Cliff, Oh why later?
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: You have just tucked me into it. They just toss
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: it over.
• 21:04
  Speaker 17: How about you, Vince?
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: If I had another sandwich, leyl, I'd never be able
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: to move another muscle. Where are we anyhow?
• 21:12
  Speaker 17: I don't know Hash the pilot he.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: Got us here, so help me.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: I was flying blind.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Well, here's a weather report. Just came in friends, rain
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: and soon.
• 21:22
  Speaker 17: How soon do you think, Vince?
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: Now, come on, get the stuff into the car.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: Then you take the blanket.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I got the bath.
• 21:30
  Speaker 17: Hurry up, we'll float back in town quick.
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: Dear, I hate to be a past but the lightning
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: frightens me. If you can't find your way back to
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: the main road, can't you turn in somewhere and stop
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: a while.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, little, it's hard to see through the rain.
• 21:55
  Speaker 17: Well, if you spot a house or a barn, please turn.
• 21:57
  Speaker 17: And I'm scared, of course.
• 22:01
  Speaker 14: Hey, if only I had some idea where we are.
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: I can't see ten feet ahead and this stuff.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: There's a cutoff a little ways ahead around the next turn.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: If you take it, it'll lead us to a house
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: with a big wide porch. We can get in under there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: How did you know that?
• 22:15
  Speaker 17: Were you ever up around here these talks before?
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: No?
• 22:18
  Speaker 17: Well then how'd you?
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 22:20
  Speaker 14: Well, let's concentrate on driving instead of conversation.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: Have you seen any road signs?
• 22:26
  Speaker 17: No, Cliff, not a thing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: Eh.
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: Are you getting us more tangled up than we already were?
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: Then?
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: No, don't stop. Keep going. He'll come to it. Two
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: big stone landings. Turn the car left between them. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: don't know how I knew that myself.
• 22:42
  Speaker 18: Oh, there they are there they are. Well, turncliff, like
• 22:45
  Speaker 18: he told you. Oh look, look through the trees, there's
• 22:51
  Speaker 18: a house back there. Oh, Vince was right. Oh, well,
• 22:54
  Speaker 18: I'd be glad to get out of this storm. I'll
• 22:56
  Speaker 18: stop as close to the entrance as possible there.
• 22:58
  Speaker 19: All right, Holley, Well it's dry here, but I wish
• 23:13
  Speaker 19: you could get in and away from that lightning.
• 23:15
  Speaker 17: I'll try the doorbell.
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: Cliff okay, Oh, no, one seems to answer.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: There's a key under the window box with the geranium.
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: Oh he's kidding, but look anyway, Cliff, okay, No, isn't.
• 23:34
  Speaker 18: It the swier.
• 23:36
  Speaker 17: Wow, I'd better put on his lights so we can
• 23:46
  Speaker 17: see where we're going.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Not that switch. That's the one to the porch. The
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: one that controls the hole is on the other side.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: He's right, what is this a rip?
• 23:57
  Speaker 17: How do you know so much about this place? Anyway?
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: Then just a lucky guess on his punt?
• 24:02
  Speaker 20: Good after no, Cliff, anybody hope, don't do that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 17: He's come.
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: He's shaking.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: I was shaking, you see, and I was closed. I
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: was dripping with perspiration. I didn't what made me say
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: those things about the road and the key and the
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: light switches, but they came out as though I had
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: been here before.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: I was scared.
• 24:24
  Speaker 17: Wait for the summer. I guess, but it's funny they'd
• 24:26
  Speaker 17: leave it on lock like that electricity still unconnected. Oh here,
• 24:31
  Speaker 17: being a detective comes in Handicliff. We shouldn't get in
• 24:34
  Speaker 17: trouble walking in like this. As long as we're here.
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: I don't think anybody would mind if he made some coffee.
• 24:41
  Speaker 17: I'd love some, how about you, Cliff?
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Sure, go ahead.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: I couldn't look at Cliff, though I felt his eyes
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: burning a hole in the back of my neck. Little
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: went into the kitchen and I began to wander around nervously.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: I found a bedroom and then a two entrance bath.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: I went out by the second entrance, and I was
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: in another bedroom. Through the doorway across the room, I
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: could see myself. My face was whiter than my shirt,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: and my body was quivering. I shifted, came closer, dying
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: a little wavering as I advanced two of me three four, five,
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: six seven. I was across the threshold now, and the
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: door brought around from its position flat against the outside wall,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: pulled in after me, flashed the eighth image of myself
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: on its mirror back surface, called myself.
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: And Cliff, No, what's the matter of it, Cliff?
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: This is the place this is the place.
• 25:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah, now, wipe off your forehead.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: You're ringing wet.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Have you got it?
• 25:52
  Speaker 13: I got it?
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Try this one first.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: That's a fake. The stairs a minute, don't come up, honey.
• 26:02
  Speaker 14: Vensu's taken his pants off to dry him around the sandwiches.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Look, it's a safe cut open.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: That's what he was crouched before that night when he
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: seemed to be just like a puddle on the floor.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: He must have had a blow torch down there on
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: the floor in front of him. That's what made the
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: bluish light and made her face stand out in the reflection.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: I look too much.
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: And that door that you haven't.
• 26:32
  Speaker 11: Opened yet, it's the one I propped him up. And no,
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: don't not right away.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: Just give me a minute longer, Just give me empty
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: with the blood on the back wall and the floor.
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: Dry cake, blood clears, all right, kidd, Let's hear about
• 26:57
  Speaker 14: another dream.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: In Tonight's full Hour of Suspense. Eddie Bracken appears as
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Vince in Nightmare by William Irish, Tonight's study in Suspense.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: In just a moment, we will return with Act two
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: of Suspense.
• 27:35
  Speaker 21: This is CBS the Columbia Broadcasting System.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And now back to our Hollywood soundstage and to our producer,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: mister Robert Montgomery for Act two of Nightmare, starring Eddie
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Bracken in a narrative, well calculate, lady, to keep you
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: in suspenn.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: It had all.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Belonged to Vince until now, a wild dream heightened by
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: young imagination.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: It was his alone, awful as.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: It was, it all belonged to him, but he had
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: shared his nightmare with Cliff, and Cliff, as a detective,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: he'd never once believed Vince. He told him he was
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: cock eye, that it couldn't be true. But there they are,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: the two of them, in a deserted house with which
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Vince seems quite familiar, although he swears he's never been there,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: and they face each other in a room paneled with
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: eight mirrors, just like the room in Vince's nightmare.
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: I don't know what Cliff would have done up there
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: in the mirrored alcohol, but I blessed my sister when
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: she called us down for coffee. Cliff and I went
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: through the motions of eating with Lil and then waited
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: tensely until she dozed off in the living room. Tie
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: it out of the excitement of the storm. Then Cliff
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: pushed me back into the kitchen and shut the door.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: He gave me a look that belonged in the police
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: station basement and lit a cigarette. He didn't offer me one.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: Policemen don't with their suspects. He bounced the match down,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: and he shoved his hands deep in his pockets.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: Now make it short and make it quick and leave
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: throw it out of it.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: You think I lied? Don't you?
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: You knew which cutoff to take it would get us
• 29:30
  Speaker 14: here from a dream, didn't you. You knew about the
• 29:33
  Speaker 14: stone lattings at the entrance from a dream, didn't you?
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: You knew whether the key to the front door was
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: catched from a dream.
• 29:38
  Speaker 14: You knew which was the front porch switch and which
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: was the hall from a dream. You know what I'd
• 29:43
  Speaker 14: do to you if you want Lil's brother, I'd push
• 29:45
  Speaker 14: your lion.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: Face right through the back of your hand. Cliff.
• 29:48
  Speaker 14: You came to me for help, didn't you, But you
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: didn't have guts enough to come clean. I can respect
• 29:53
  Speaker 14: the guy no matter what he's done, if you'll loan
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: up to it, make a clean breast of it. I
• 29:57
  Speaker 14: can even understand and make allowances for a guy that'll
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: deny it.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: They lie about it. That's only human nature.
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: But the guy that'll come to somebody trading on the
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: fact that he's married to his sister and he knows
• 30:05
  Speaker 14: he'll give him an ear, making a fool out of
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: him like you did me, I've got no use for him.
• 30:11
  Speaker 14: He's low and lousy and no good.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: Look. I found this key in my pocket when I
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: got up this morning. How did it get there? Look?
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: I found this button. Some dream, wasn't it? All right?
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: All the dream's over and baby's awake now, and we're
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: gonna start in from scratch right here in this place,
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: you and me, and I'm gonna get the facts out
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: of you. Whether they go any further than me or not,
• 30:31
  Speaker 14: that's my business, But at least I'm gonna get him.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: Don't hit me, Cliff, please?
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Now? What were you doing at that place?
• 30:37
  Speaker 22: Huh?
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: What brought you here?
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: I was never here before. I never saw it until
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: I came here today with you in leve.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: Who was the guy you did it too? What was
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: his name? I don't know, I tell you, I don't know.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Are you gonna answer me? Events you're gonna answer me?
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: I can't ask you me things I answered me when
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: I asked you a question.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: You're not gonna get away with kid. I'd handled close
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: mouf guys before.
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: Don't use this gun much, but I know what to
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: do with it.

  Speaker 23: T was must be a spare then funny we never
• 32:02
  Speaker 23: knew there was a second one or solves.
• 32:04

  Speaker 7: There was? But I'd like to hear about it. All
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: about it?
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: We all sat down. I saw the deputy was enjoying
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: this talking shop with a big city detective. Cliff listened
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: while he kept an eye on me.
• 32:24
  Speaker 23: Well, this house belonged to a wealthy couple named a Fleming.
• 32:28
  Speaker 23: Husband was away on business in South America when it happened.
• 32:31
  Speaker 23: In fact, we ain't been able to reach him to
• 32:32
  Speaker 23: notify him yet. Wife was a pretty little thing, was
• 32:36
  Speaker 23: yet real purty flirty too, used to fool around with
• 32:40
  Speaker 23: the friend of her husband's named heirs, Dan Airs. Well,
• 32:43
  Speaker 23: that morning the milkman saw a bundle of rags by
• 32:46
  Speaker 23: the side of the road not far from here. Twas
• 32:48
  Speaker 23: little miss Fleming, all covered with dew and leaves and twigs.
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: Dead Dan.
• 32:54
  Speaker 23: She must have dragged herself along the ground for hours,
• 32:57
  Speaker 23: too weak to yell for help. Milkman took it the
• 32:59
  Speaker 23: hig hospital. Both legs broken, skull fracture, internal injuries.
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: Oh no, hey, kind of gets this young fella, don't it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: Stuff's new to him.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: Guess what was it? Who did it to the woman.
• 33:11
  Speaker 23: Dan Air's car? We found it with blood and hairs
• 33:14
  Speaker 23: on the tires and fenders banding under some trees. The
• 33:18
  Speaker 23: same time, Waggoner, that's my chief. He found the safe
• 33:22
  Speaker 23: in this house busted and looted. It's in an eight
• 33:25
  Speaker 23: sided mirrored room that got on the floor above.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: I'll take you up and show you afterwards.
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, cut it off.
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: That's why don't he go outside?
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: If this gets him, I want him in here with us.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: He should get used to this.
• 33:37
  Speaker 23: Woun suit yourself well. Finding that safe, give us a case.
• 33:42
  Speaker 23: Airs new Fleming kept lots of dough in that safe.
• 33:45
  Speaker 23: Knew we went away on business trips. This last time
• 33:48
  Speaker 23: Airs come up here, went to work on the safe
• 33:50
  Speaker 23: and got caught by missus Fleming. She takes one look
• 33:52
  Speaker 23: and starts running for town.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: To get help. Why didn't she use the telephone?
• 33:55
  Speaker 23: Because this warn't no simple robbery. She must have seen
• 33:58
  Speaker 23: by the look on his face said he'd kill her,
• 34:00
  Speaker 23: So she run for her life. He comes down, gets
• 34:03
  Speaker 23: into his car, catches up with her, and runs her down,
• 34:05
  Speaker 23: drives right over. He thinks she's dead and takes off.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: Say he drove the car.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know how to drive. I don't know how
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: to drive. Cliff knew it till his expression changed and
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: he pushed his pack of cigarettes over to me.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: Have a smoke, kid, it'll do you good.
• 34:24
  Speaker 23: Thanks, Well, we sent out a general alarm for airs,
• 34:28
  Speaker 23: but at fire that afternoon, Missus Fleming regained consciousness for
• 34:32
  Speaker 23: a short time.
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: Waggon her. My chief was there and he heard her say,
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: is Dan all right? He didn't kill Dan, did he? Well?
• 34:40
  Speaker 23: That was enough to send us hot footing right back
• 34:42
  Speaker 23: to the house and we found Heir's dead body. No,
• 34:45
  Speaker 23: he'd been stabbed in the back with some kind of
• 34:48
  Speaker 23: a drill, dead since the night before. Missus Fleming died
• 34:51
  Speaker 23: about eight that evening. There went our case.
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: Did you get anything on the real killer?
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: Well, practically everything but the guy herself.
• 34:59
  Speaker 23: She was right in the al cove when it happened,
• 35:01
  Speaker 23: saw the killer by the torchlight, and lasted long enough
• 35:04
  Speaker 23: to give us a complete description. All of dope is
• 35:06
  Speaker 23: over at my chief's office.
• 35:08
  Speaker 14: Let's go over there, give it the once of it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 14: Come on, Vince, you too. I'll leave a note for
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: a little Come on, Vice. I know this is out
• 35:15
  Speaker 14: of your line, but you better come anyhow, Had you
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: come over, mister Dodge, you too, mister Hatty. I'm interested
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: in hearing the description of the killer.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it's pretty complete. I ain't got it from Missus Fleming.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Here's a transcription my whole interview with her at the
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: hospital at a stenographer. Take it down to the bedside.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: He was one of those efficient young sheriffs, and they
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: droned on and on. My clothes became drenched with perspiration,
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: and my stomach was quivering again.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Here's what you want. Dodge Killer was about twenty five
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: and skinny cheek bone stood out cash shadows in the
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: torch line is waving on his face.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: Looking at me.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: I covered my cheeks with my hands and stared down
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: at the floor. My face was burning under my fingers.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Had light brown hair. She even remembered that it was
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: parted low on the left side. Take a woman to
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: notice thing like that, even at such a moment. And
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: an unusually long forelock that kept falling in front of
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: his face.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: My hand went up a little higher and brushed mine back.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: It only fell down again, like.
• 36:35
  Speaker 13: It always did.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: His eyes were fixed and glassy, as though he was
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: mentally unbalanced. He had on a knitted sweater, was darned
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: up in the neckline, and a different colored yarn.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: Little maid and I burned it with a cigarette. She
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: fixed it up the best way she could, and Cliff
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: knew about it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Look, it's hours to get but that's it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: You got pictures of missus Fleming and Air's death.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Photographs.
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, let's have a look.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: I got weaker and dizzy as they handed the pictures around.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: I didn't look at them, but I saw a cliff
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: distract the other men's attention long enough to slip them
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: on top of the filecase. The next thing I knew,
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: we were getting ready to put the lights out and
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: leave coming.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: Vince.
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: Hey, yeah, how you folks back to the house. It's
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: on my way home.
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, Sheriff, thank you very much.
• 37:28
  Speaker 14: Oh say Evince, We'll run back a minute and see
• 37:31
  Speaker 14: if I left my cigarettes in mister Wagner's office.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: Huh sure, Jariff, I want you and the deputy and
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: look me up.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: His voice dwindled behind me, and I was in the
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: darkened office again alone. I knew what I had been
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: sent back for. He wanted me to see those pictures.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: I switched on the lights. They run the filecase. I
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: took them in my hands and I stared at.
• 37:59
  Speaker 22: Them well out like a lad.
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: Now, what didn't you spoil the pictures?
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: He's not well. He's under treatment by a doctor right now.
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: He gets these Disney spills now and then that's all
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: it is. Hell, yeah, I can't drink this water.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, sure, don't say anything.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: You'll be all right. I'm sorry for all the trouble
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: we've cast.
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: Perfectly, all right, come back anytime.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: That was the place I never wanted to go back
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: to Cliff, and I didn't say much. As the deputy
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: droves to the house. We picked up Little and started
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: back to town.
• 38:46
  Speaker 17: I think you've got a nerve.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: We couldn't talk them either, because Little was blazing. Saw
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: at Cliff leaving her alone, placed into him, and I
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: think for once he was grateful kept him from thinking
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: too steadily about me. She only quit when we were
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: near my place and she saw me holding my head.
• 39:06
  Speaker 17: What's the matter? Vance, don't you feel well?
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: The outing was a little bit too strenuous for it.
• 39:11
  Speaker 17: I wondered, the way you drive?
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well I got us here, didn't I great.
• 39:15
  Speaker 17: I don't see what I can do about having you
• 39:17
  Speaker 17: decorated for it.
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: I'll go up with Vince a minute.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: No, it's all right, I'm feeling I'm coming up with
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: the events. He closed the door to my room behind us,
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: and then turned to me. He spoke low, and very ungrammatically.
• 39:36
  Speaker 13: No fireworks.
• 39:38
  Speaker 14: Lil's wading downstairs. I'm going to take her home first
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: before I do anything.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: I love Lil.
• 39:45
  Speaker 14: It's bad enough what this is going to do it
• 39:47
  Speaker 14: When she finds out, I'll goat to see she gets
• 39:49
  Speaker 14: at least one good night's sleep before she does.
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: Cliff, Claif run out, that's the best thing it can do.
• 39:56
  Speaker 14: Meet you finish on the hoof somewhere else where your
• 39:58
  Speaker 14: sister and I don't have to see it happen. And
• 40:00
  Speaker 14: if you're still here when I come back, I'm going
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: to arrest you for the murder of Dan Ays and
• 40:04
  Speaker 14: Dorothy Fleming. I don't have to ask you if you
• 40:07
  Speaker 14: kill those two people. You fainted dead on the floor
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: when you saw other pictures. I'll take my advice and
• 40:13
  Speaker 14: don't be here when I get back. I'll turn in
• 40:18
  Speaker 14: my information at my own precinct hous and they can
• 40:20
  Speaker 14: pass it under Wagner.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: Then I'll hand over my own badge in the morning.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: Cliff, I'm frightened.
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: Killers always are. Afterwards, don't forget you got a half hour.
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: I didn't move for about half the time he'd given me.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: Then my hand went to my cheeks at had in
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: the Sheriff's office, and my face felt briskly. Without thinking,
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: I went into the bathroom and turned on the warm
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: water tap. I took my cream and blade holder from
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: the cabinet, not a sheer reflexive habit, and I realized
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: I didn't need the cream and the holder, and I
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: put them back.
• 41:14
  Speaker 13: I took the racer in my hand.
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: I was seeing black spots in front of my eyes
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: when he tried to get in the door. I tried
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: to keep very quiet, so I think I'd land and
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: go away.
• 41:40
  Speaker 13: Why didn't he go away? I could barely stand up.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: Open the door that rushed the lot away.
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: I held my breath for a second, and then I
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: had no strength left.
• 42:01
  Speaker 13: Vince, you could have saved yourself trip back.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: They didn't keep me at the hospital, just took stitches
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: in my wrist and told me to go home and
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: take it easy for a while. I hadn't been able
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: to do even that right. It was four in the
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: morning when we got back to my room. The cliff
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: stood over me while I undressed and got into bed.
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: I remember, just take it easy.
• 42:38
  Speaker 13: What about the arrest postponed?
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: Canceled?
• 42:43
  Speaker 14: I gave you your chance to run out, and he
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: didn't take it. As a matter of fact, I sent
• 42:46
  Speaker 14: a little home alone. I've been downstairs watching the street
• 42:49
  Speaker 14: door the whole time. When a guy is willing to
• 42:53
  Speaker 14: let the life run out of his veins, there must
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: be something to his story.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: They don't die to back up lies.
• 43:00
  Speaker 14: I think you've been telling the truth to the best
• 43:02
  Speaker 14: of your knowledge.
• 43:05
  Speaker 13: Locked, I don't even want to talk about it anymore.
• 43:10
  Speaker 14: Well, I think I better stick with you tonight.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: Anyway, it's all right, I won't cry it again.
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: M there's blood on the floor. You sure have picked
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: a messy way.
• 43:33
  Speaker 13: I did think of gas that hotel doesn't have.
• 43:37
  Speaker 14: If more houses had no gas, there'd be fewer.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: Sure, all the modern conveniences, But electricity is undependable too.
• 43:47
  Speaker 13: Lights go out.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Happened to a fella in the next room one night.
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: Had he had to use a candle.
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: It was the same night that I had the dream.
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: How did you know it had to use the candle?
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: Were you in there at the time.
• 44:02
  Speaker 24: No.
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: He wrapped and stuck his head in my door for
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: a minute. Wanted to know if the power had failed
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: all over. You know how people are in little hotels
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: like this.
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: Why do you have to do that? Couldn't he tell
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: me the whole.
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: All lights go out at eleven thirty cause it was
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: after that.
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's still no reason why I should bust any on.
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: You.
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: Look, I'd like to hear the rest of this.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: The rest I told you all the wrist to that's
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: what you think.
• 44:25
  Speaker 14: Just watch what I can get out of it.
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: He wouldn't let me go to sleep. I had to
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: tell him about the man next door who moved in
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: a week or so before the night of the dream.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: That particular night, I had been reading in bed, and
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: as I put down the lights and about ready to
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: doze off, he knocked.
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: Come in.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: He was holding the candle right in front of his
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: face between his eyes, and in the darkness I had
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: to stare at the candle light and his eyes behind it.
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: He explained about the lights, and.
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: Please excuse me for intruding. You must be tired, very tired.
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: You look so sleepy. No, you want to sleep. I
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: shouldn't have come. You can sleep now, sleep well. Ries
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: is so heavy, you look so tired.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: And that's all there was to it. He left and
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: I went to sleep.
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: Did you hear him shut the door?
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: Well, I suppose.
• 45:41
  Speaker 14: I don't mean suppose, I mean did you actually hear
• 45:43
  Speaker 14: the door shut?
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: Think about it, Kain, this is important.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: I don't remember.
• 45:47
  Speaker 14: Well another thing, then, did you ever have any conversation
• 45:49
  Speaker 14: with him other than hello and goodbye?
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: Well, you offered me some cough crap several times, and
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: I told him I didn't like him. But once going
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: down in the elevator, he absolutely insisted that I take.
• 45:59
  Speaker 13: One, so I did.
• 46:01
  Speaker 14: Testing willpower. Well, never mind, I don't want to frighten
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: you right now. Look, you get some sleep, kidd here
• 46:07
  Speaker 14: a week after what you try to do tonight?
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: Where are you going?
• 46:09
  Speaker 13: I thought you were staying here.
• 46:10
  Speaker 14: I'm going back to the Fleming House and do Wagoner's
• 46:12
  Speaker 14: headquarters too while I'm at it.
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: Now you're going all the way back up there at
• 46:18
  Speaker 11: this hour of the morning.
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: And events don't give up yet.
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: We will find a way out without shortcuts like you
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: tried tonight.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: I didn't wake until noon, but I didn't dare I
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: leave the room for a cup of coffee. I didn't
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: want to miss Cliff. When I got back about two,
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: there was a knock on the door and I almost
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: fell over, and my roost to open it, Cliff, I, oh, excuse.
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: Me, sure, mister, say, are you Vincent HARDI? Yes, Well
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: I think I got what you want?
• 46:59
  Speaker 13: What I want?
• 47:00
  Speaker 17: Yeah, my uncle Henry built it. He was crazy. It's
• 47:03
  Speaker 17: got a room with eight sides.
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: I'm terribly sorry, but I'm not in the market for
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: that house any longer.
• 47:09
  Speaker 17: You Wane. No, Oh, you're like Uncle Henry too.
• 47:13
  Speaker 24: Huh.
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: He would have liked you.
• 47:16
  Speaker 10: Well, goodbye.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: Cliff finally showed up around three. He looked terrible. He
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: hadn't slept all night. He showed me a picture he'd brought.
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: You know this guy, Evince.
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: This guy, well, the glasses are missing and the mustache
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: and the hair is in rumple. But Cliff, uh, yeah,
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: this is the guy from next door.
• 47:48
  Speaker 13: Where'd you get this picture from?
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: Wagner? It's missus Flemings husband.
• 47:52
  Speaker 13: They're both the same fellow.
• 47:53
  Speaker 14: Right, But there's no out in it for you. I
• 47:57
  Speaker 14: got that straight, kit. I checked the fingerprins. Wagner got there, yours,
• 48:01
  Speaker 14: you and nobody. But you went into the Fleming house,
• 48:03
  Speaker 14: killed Airs and hid his body in the closet. No,
• 48:05
  Speaker 14: but you didn't kill Dorothy Fleming because you can't drive
• 48:09
  Speaker 14: somebody else did that near's car? Somebody who brought you
• 48:11
  Speaker 14: up there and was waiting for you at a safe distance.
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: But why didn't I know I was doing?
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: Well, that'll come later.
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: What we have to do now is prove that the
• 48:18
  Speaker 14: circumstance of the drink could have happened, get it done
• 48:20
  Speaker 14: on record officially. That isn't perfect, but it's the best
• 48:24
  Speaker 14: we can do. Well, what do you I think it's
• 48:28
  Speaker 14: better if you don't know too much. Uh. A telegram
• 48:32
  Speaker 14: addressed to missus Fleming was received from her husband while
• 48:35
  Speaker 14: I was up there. He's arriving back from South America today.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: Where are we going?
• 48:43
  Speaker 14: Where is the place you'd at least rather go? Of
• 48:45
  Speaker 14: all places right now, that that room, that house. I'm sorry, kid,
• 48:51
  Speaker 14: but that's the place you're going to have to go
• 48:53
  Speaker 14: back to and stay in alone tonight. If you ever
• 48:56
  Speaker 14: want to get out from under the shutters again, shall
• 49:00
  Speaker 14: we make the try?
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm ready. I'd been sitting on the floor outside
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: the mirrored alcove to rest when I heard him come in.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: He didn't come right up. I suppose he stopped to
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: put his things away. Then I heard him tap the
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: keys of the piano downstairs. Then I heard his footsteps coming,
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: and I pushed myself backwards along the floor into the alcove.
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: My heart was pounding so hot I had to keep
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: my mouth open. He was in the bedroom, opening suitcases,
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: looking for things. I pushed myself into the closet where
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: the body had been, and in a moment, he walked
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: into the alcove and put on the lights. I could
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: see him through the keyhole as he walked past the door.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: Then he stood still, turning to go.
• 50:14
  Speaker 13: This was the time now.
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: I held the gun tight and pushed the door open soundlessly.
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: He heard me as I stepped into the room and
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: whirled around. I wanted to yell at the top of
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: my lungs at him. I kept my lips together. Cliff
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: had drilled me carefully on how I should act, what
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: I should say. He'd particularly warned me to make fleming talk.
• 50:40
  Speaker 13: First, How did you get here?
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: You showed me the way, didn't you?
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: You remembered coming here?
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: Didn't think I would, did you?
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: You couldn't have?
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: And how did I come back again? You explain it?
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: How long have you been in here like like this?
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: Since I have to doc I got in before you
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: came home.
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: What'd you bring with you?
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: Nobody? Just this, a forty four automatic. That's all the
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: company I wanted with you?
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: Exactly? How much do you remember?
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: Much more than you think you remember?
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: The drive up?
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: You couldn't have. I told you to remember it, only
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: the dream. You had to look?
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: What look?
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: I was holding a thumbtack pressed into the palm of
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: each hand the whole way.
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: And why did you do everything that you were direct
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: you to do so passively?
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: I thought there might be something in it formulated if
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: anyone went to all that trouble purposely faked.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: I can't believe it. You didn't even draw back, show
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: a sign. I'll let you out of the car, put
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: the knife in your hand, sent you on towards the house,
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: told you how to get in. What to do you mean?
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: You went ahead unconsciously?
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: Sure?
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: I figured you'd pay me you off afterwards?
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: Oh well, what went wrong?
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: Inside? Well?
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: I accidentally dropped the knife you gave me. Airs jumped
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: me in the alcove in the darkness. Your wife put
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: a drill into my hand instead of his, and I
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: killed him in self.
• 52:17
  Speaker 13: Defense, and you ran out.
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: I had to go after unstopp her myself. I got
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: it with Air's car. If you never even saw.
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: Me, that's what I wanted to know.
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: Are you crazy? You must have known?
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: No, I tricked you. You had me hypnotized that night, all right,
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: but you've just convicted yourself out of your own mouth
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: to me. I don't want to be paid off. You
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: picked someone with a weak willpower maybe, but strong scruples.
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: I was an honest man. You made me commit murder.
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: I can't clear myself in the eyes of the law ever,
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: but you're gonna pay for doing that to me now
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: this way.
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: Wait, don't do that. That won't help you winning.
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: You shouldn't have le me alone. That was your mistake.
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: Here you go, fleming.
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: Wait, wait one minute more, just a minute a look,
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: look at me, Look at my eyes.
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: Clipp had warned me to be careful, but I wasn't
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: careful enough. I couldn't seem to help myself. I just
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: glanced at him. Our eyes met, and suddenly mine couldn't
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: get away anymore, as though they were hit by glue.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: A sort of taper turned me into wax. But I
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: made an effort to do one more thing. It came
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: out as a single sentence. I mean, I'm I'm.
• 53:47
  Speaker 8: Going to shoot you though, Hi, you don't want to
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: shoot anybody. You're tired. A gun's too heavy for you.
• 53:59
  Speaker 8: Why do you want to hold that heavything? That's right,
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: you're tire, tire?
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Why this will stand up in any card. There's enough
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: evidence on this wire recorded a send Fleming to the
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: electric chair.
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: Listen, listen, it's all that mumbling. I can't quite my god?
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: What this? Hey, we'd better get up there.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Come on, hey, Fling must be trying to do Holy smokes,
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: he's getting away.
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: Come on.
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: There's a pencil and paper in the glove compartment. Take
• 54:57
  Speaker 8: them out.
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: Word now, write what I tell you.
• 55:03
  Speaker 24: Start.
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: I'm wanted with a murder of those two people at
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: the Fleming house. They're bound to get me sooner or later,
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: and I have no chance. I see no other way.
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: But this.

• 56:39
  Speaker 6: against it as hard as I could, and when I

  Speaker 6: got to the end of the dock, I just threw
• 56:45
