  Speaker 1: On November 27, 1938, Mutual Broadcasting System carried the 148th
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: broadcast of The Shadow, Fountain of Death. Bill Johnstone is
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Lamont Cranston and The Shadow, with Agnes Moorhead as Margot Lane,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: as they respond to an urgent call from Dr. Anna Marler,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a medical researcher guarding an experimental serum said to restore youth.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Marler fears that her formula has made her a target
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: for a foreign agent, and Lamont and Margo move to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: keep it from falling into hostile hands. Their course takes
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: them from Marler's American laboratory and home to a transatlantic
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: flying boat headed toward Europe. BF Goodrich Safety Silvertown sponsored
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: this mutual broadcast. Here is the original broadcast.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The Shadow knows.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: The Shadow has one great defense against the perils encountered
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: in tracking down criminals, his ability to become invisible. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: we'll hear how he puts this ability to use in
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: just a moment. But first, I want to tell you
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: about a tire that has two great defenses against the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: two most common perils that threaten every motorist, skids and blowouts.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: This tire is the new Goodrich Safety Silvertown, and its
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: first line of defense is the Lifesaver Tread. The tread
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that sweeps wet roads so dry you can light a
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: match on its track gives you the quickest non-skid stops
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you've ever had. And its second great life-saving feature is
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the famous golden ply that provides motorists with scientific protection
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: against dangerous high-speed blowouts. Give yourself and your family this
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: vital double protection. Ride on Goodrich Safety Silvertown. The Shadow
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Lamont Cranston, a man of wealth, a student of science,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and a master of other people's minds, devotes his life
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to righting wrongs, protecting the innocent, and punishing the guilty.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Cranston is known to criminals as The Shadow. Never seen,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: only heard, his true identity is known only to his
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: friend and companion, the lovely Margot Ling.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Today's story, Fountain of Death.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Lamont, please drive more slowly.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: All right, Margo. Lamont, what's this all about?
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: Well, Margo, I'll tell you. We're on our way to
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: prevent a murder.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Murder?
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Whose murder?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: That's just it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Lamont Cranston, what are you talking about?
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Twenty minutes ago, I got a letter telling me that
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: a murder was about to be committed. The note was
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: signed Dr.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Anna Marla.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Anna Marla?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Who's that?
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: Dr.
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: Marla is one of the greatest research workers in medicine
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: this world has ever known.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: The last time I met her was in Europe.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: And if ever there was a woman with a love
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: of mankind in her soul, it's Anna Marla.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: It was very good of you to come here, Mr. Cranston,
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: and you too, Miss Lane.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: We're very glad to come, Dr.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Marla.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: But your letter said murder, Dr. Marla.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: No, no, please, my friend.
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: There's so little time left, you must listen to me.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: I sent for you because you alone have the strength
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: and the courage to stand by me.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Anything you want, Dr.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Marlowe.
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: You have not asked why I am in America.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I will tell you. It is because there are powers
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: in Europe.
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: Quoting Cody, in terms of force and hate, who would
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: stop my experiment.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, Mr.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Cranston, will you help me, protect me while I work?
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: That's why Miss Lane and I are here.
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: In my letter, I said that a murder was to
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: be committed tonight.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: As the woman who is to be murdered is here
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: in the very next room.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Well, then let's go in.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: No, no, don't get excited.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: It is murder true enough. But the old age is
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: the murderer. The woman is 95 years old.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: 95 years old?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Yes. Why?
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid I don't understand.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: What can I do?
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: You can help me perform a miracle.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Did you say miracle?
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: If you want, Miss Lane, we'll come this way.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Marla.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am.
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: Ah, you see, she is dying. It is so pitiful.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: She is breeding her last.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Come, we will go close to her. Mrs. Cronin, try
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: to open your eyes. It is I, your friend, Dr.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Marla.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Dr.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Marla?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: No, it is I.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Here is my hand.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, Dr. Marla.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: I know I'm old and my time has come, but
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I do not want to die.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Not yet.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: No, no, you must not. No, no, you must listen
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: to me. I.
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: I tell you, I don't want to die.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: You must help me.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Help me.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Here, my friend. I will help you. You are so weak.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: You must not speak again. You must lie quietly while
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: I get my instrument. Please. Please. Come, Mr. Crompton is
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: laying in this side room.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, doctor.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: You must help me. You must help me. Well, you
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: saw the woman? You saw she is dying?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, of course.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Dr.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Marlowe, what can you possibly do for her?
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: That is what I wanted you to hear and see.
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: For many years I have worked in the laboratory in
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: an attempt to discover the true nature of age. And
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: while experimenting with many generations of white mice, I've made.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: A strange discovery. Discovery which, oh, which costs beyond all understanding.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, dear.
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: I must act quickly or she will be done. While
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: working on the little creatures, I discovered that when any
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: organism has lived its full span of years, the cells
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: within the body become aged, worn. Now I have discovered
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: that by injecting an extract of the tissues of the.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, she's dying.
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: Quickly, my instrument case.
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: Come. Come.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, I promised her. I must do it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: I must.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Hurry.
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: She's dying.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Oh, there's the hypodermic.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, my hands, they tremble so.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Here, I'll help Dr. Muller.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: Now the liquid. You see, Mr. Cranston's so green. I'll
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: let it give this old woman a little more of life.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: My hands, they must be sure.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: No, she must live. Only a few seconds more until... There.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Immediately into her arm. Now she thought she will not
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: feel pain.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Now it is done.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Ah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: No, it will never work.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, Mr.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Cranston, what have I done?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: My experiment. Foolishness.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: The reaction of the mice. Only the illusions of my
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: own hope. I should never have done this to the
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: old woman.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: It's almost gone.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, old friend, forgive me.
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: And your death do not hate me.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: Look. She's not dead.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Not dead.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Marco's right.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: She's not dead. Listen to her. Look at her.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Her lips. Her cheeks.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Her skin was old and wrinkled. And now look. The
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: color's coming back into it. Her eyes. They're opening. She
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: seems to be growing younger.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Younger.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Dr.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Marlowe. I... I feel better.
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: Oh, Dr.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: Dr.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Dr.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Marlowe, look at her. She's sitting up in the bed.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: She's alive, healthy.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Mark, it's a miracle.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: Dr.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Marlowe.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, I feel as if I'm younger. Oh, look at
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: my arms. They're warm, alive.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: My cheeks, I feel.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Them round and full, like they were years ago.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Why, you've made me young, Dr.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Young, young.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: Three days now since I restored that woman's shoes.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: I have conquered age. Conquered age.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: May I come in, Dr.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Marlowe? My apologies if I frighten you.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Who are you?
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: My name is Gorlin.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Gorlin?
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: I'm flattered. I see that I'm not entirely unknown.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: You followed me?
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: I was on the same ship.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, but why? Why? I am an old woman. What
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: do you want of me?
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: It is not I. It is the state.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: They sent you?
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: The state sent me.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Your work.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: It belongs to the state.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: But I am here in America. I am free.
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: I repeat, your work belongs to the state.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: What do you want of me?
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: The bottom.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: Of liquid.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Liquid?
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: I advise you not to be difficult, Dr.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: The liquid you used on.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: That old lady, Mrs.
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: Cronin.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, you heard what I did for her.
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: Yes, I heard of your miracle, doctor.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: And now the liquid. Give it to me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Why do you point that gun at me?
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: It is merely to impress upon you to what extent
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: I will go to get the fluid.
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: What good will the liquid do you?
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Not me. The state.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: But the solution is not yet perfected.
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: Perfected enough. Our chemists will be able to make huge quantities.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: What will you do with it?
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: With this in our possession, the state will have an
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: army of men who will be young like gods forever.
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: Soldiers supreme, and I will be their leader.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Youth, everlasting youth.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: An army invincible.
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: An army without end, sweeping the world.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: But you cannot make men young to kill. Make them
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: young to live.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: My own regiment first. And then, then all the state... Oh, no, no.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: It cannot do that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: My work, it has been to preserve life, not kill
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: and destroy.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, give it back to me. The bottle, give it
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: back to me.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: Stay away.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: You fool, stay away from me.
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: Give back that bottle.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: What a pity.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: The great Dr.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Anna Marlowe.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: She has committed suicide.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Marlowe.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Dr. Marlowe.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Strange she doesn't answer.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: She's always in her laboratory.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Dr.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Marlowe. Dr.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Marlowe. Dr. Marlowe, what.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Doctor.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Doctor. Doctor. Who did this to you? This is Cranston,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: Lamont Cranston. Doctor, try and speak. Tell me, who did
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: this to you? Yes, yes, I'm listening.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: He took, he took liquid.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: Who took it, who? Soldiers.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Army.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: New Army.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Who shot you, Doctor? Gorlin.
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: He followed me across the ocean. He wants to use
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: liquid for invincible army.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Soldiers.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Death. Dr.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Marlowe. You discovered a miracle of life. And he gave
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: you death in exchange for it. Rest well, Dr.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Marlowe. I swear this to you. Before Gorlin can use
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: what he took from you for soldiers, armies, war... He
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: will meet the shadow.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: There's more thrilling action on the way in Act Two
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: of The Shadow's Adventure. In the meantime, motorists, have you
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: ever thought at what speed danger takes the driver's seat
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: in your car?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: The shadow knows. The minute you hit over 40 miles
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: an hour, your chances of a serious accident grow by
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: leaps and bounds. Yes, the shadow knows. Danger begins at 40.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Play safe.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Slow down.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: But motorists, if roads are wet and slippery, can you
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: slow down in time? Will your car skid, spin, swerve?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Don't take chances. Equip your car now with the new
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Goodrich Safety Silvertown tire. Remember, this new Silvertown is the
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: only tire that has the lifesaver tread with its amazing
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: road-drying action. Like a battery of windshield wipers, the Lifesaver
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: tread sweeps the water right and left, courses it out
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: through the deep drainage groove, leaves a track so dry
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: you can actually light a match on it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: And when a tire leaves a.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Track that dry, you can depend on it that it
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: will stop you quicker, safer on a wet pavement than
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: you've ever stopped before. And remember, when you ride on Silvertowns,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: you get still another life-saving feature, the famous golden ply
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: to protect you against high-speed blowouts. Yet these life-saving, good,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: rich silver towns are yours at no extra cost.
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: Mr.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Cranston, I never heard of any guy called Gorlin. And
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: neither has anyone else on the paper.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Okay, Fred.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Goodbye. So long. Well, Margo.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: Checkmate again. Lamont, are you sure you heard the name right? Yes, yes,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: I'm positive. Gorlin.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Gorlin.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Name's been ringing in my head every minute since the
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: dying Dr.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: Marlowe whispered it. Gorlin is someplace in this town. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: by all that's holy, I'm.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: Going to get him. But you've been trying for hours
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: to locate someone who's heard of him. Lamont, you've tried
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: everywhere and.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: No one has even heard of him.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: But he does exist. He killed Dr.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Marlin.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: Her own lips said so. Margo, I've got to get
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: my hands on this doctor. I've got to get him
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: on Marlin. It isn't the doctor's murder alone I'm concerned with.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: I've got to prevent his using that discovery of hers
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: to create huge armies. Armies of old men made young.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: And young men always young. I've got to prevent that. Well,
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: it sounds very noble, doesn't it? Five hours have gone by.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: I haven't got the slightest idea who or where the
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: man is.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I'll answer it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Hello? Hello? Hello, is this Lamont Cranston?
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Yes, this is Cranston.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Well, my name's Tom Brady, Mr. Cranston. I don't think
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: you know me.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I know who you are, Brady. Foreign correspondent
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: on the examiner.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: The reason I called you, Cranston, is that I just
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: got down to the paper. They were telling me that
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: you were looking for a man named Gorlin.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I am. Do you know him?
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: Well, to tell you the truth, Mr. Cranston, Gorlin isn't
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: exactly the kind of fellow I'd admit to being my friend.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: Do you know where to reach him, Brady?
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: No, not exactly, but I saw him coming out of
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: a travel agency about an hour ago.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: There's a boat sailing for Europe tonight. Gorlin's on it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: He had a handbag in his hand and a going-away
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: look in his eye. Well, is there anything else I
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: can tell you?
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: You've told me plenty. Thanks and good night. Lamar, you
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: found him. Oh, go quick. The newspaper. What ships are
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: sailing tonight? There aren't any boats sailing to Europe tonight. Margot,
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: don't talk nonsense. Give me that paper. There must be
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: at least half a dozen boats sailing. Lamont, if you
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: listen to me, you haven't seen tonight's papers, but I have.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: The ship loaders, they're striking. No ships are sailing.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: I can't understand it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: From what Brady said, Garland must be trying to skip
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: the country.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Oh, Lamont, please don't look like that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: You've tried everything. You've done all you can.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: But that isn't enough, Margot. I've got to get him.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: If he gets to Europe with that bottle of liquid,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: I've failed so completely that any good I might have
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: been able to do in my life up to now
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: is wipe clean off the slate.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: And I'm not going to fail, Margot.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: But Golan can't sail tonight, Lamont.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: How do I know he isn't going to some other
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: city and sailing from there?
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, because he'd have no reason to. As far as
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: he's concerned, no one's after him.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, stop worrying, Lamont.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: You've got time yet.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: There's tomorrow.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: He can't get away tonight, not unless he hires a
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: plane and flies the ocean.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: And I don't think he'll do that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: Margot, wait a minute. He doesn't have to hire a plane,
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: not a bit of it. What are you talking about?
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: The new giant clipper ship. It's flying to Europe tonight. Quick, Munger,
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: with your car outside.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, Lamar.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: We've got 15 minutes to get to the airport.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: We can't possibly make it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: It's 10 miles. We will make it. We've got to.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: That murdering Devon Gordon has a rendezvous with a shadow,
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: and I must try and keep it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Lamont, the clipper ship is still here.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: Let's go, Margo. Come.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Hurry, Margo.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Hurry.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I can't go fast.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: I can't get with this.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: We've got to make it. Come.
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: How soon is she going?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Right away, sir.
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: Lamont, what are you going to do?
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: I'm getting on board, Margo.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: But what if he isn't aboard?
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: There's no time to find out. I have to take
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: a chance. But Lamont, the flight's to Europe.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Hurry up, sir, if you want to make a plane.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Got to be done.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Goodbye.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: Wish me luck, Margo.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Good luck, Lamont. You just made it, sir.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: I beg your pardon, Stuart. At your service, sir. Is
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: there a passenger on board by the name of Gorlin? Yes, sir.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Gorlin is in cabin three on the corridor to the left, sir.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I see.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Stuart.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Who is it?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Who is there?
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: All right, all right, I'm coming. Yes, yes, yes, what
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: do you.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody here. I'm tired.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: Well, I can have a good rest now. And tomorrow.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Where is the liquid, Goran?
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Who said that? Who spoke?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Nobody in the cabin. And why did I hear.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Where is the liquid?
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: Must have thought that myself.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: The liquid.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: My suitcase.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: I must see if the bottle is broken.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: No, quite safe.
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: You sound good in my ears.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: In a few hours.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Enough.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Few hours, what, Gorlin? Why don't you answer? In a
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: few hours, what, Gorlin?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Who.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Who speaks?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I am the shadow.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: There's... There's no one in the room.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Where... I will you not to see me, Garland.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Will? Will?
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: There is no will stronger than mine.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: And yet I see you, Garland. But to you I
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: am but a voice.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: Yes, I.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I do hear you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Who are you?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: The shadow that comes between civilization and those who would destroy.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: You laugh, Garland. Yes, I laugh.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: I laugh.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: You think I'm afraid of a voice? What can a
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: voice do?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: It has made you reveal the hiding place of the liquid.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know of that?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And I know of your bullet that killed Dr. Marla.
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: She was an enemy of the state.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: No, Garland. She was a woman who had devoted her
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: life to the good of man.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: You have talked enough. What do you want?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: The bottle of liquid in your hand.
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: Well, why don't you take it from me?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: You will give it to me.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Will I?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Perhaps you would like this. The bullets in that gun
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: won't help you this time, Garland.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: The room is small. I stand before the door and
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: shoot around the walls. Where would you be then, Shadow?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Don't press the trigger, Garland.
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: So, you're like other men. You are afraid to die.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Don't pull. The walls of the cabin are thin. Press
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: that trigger and the bullets won't reach me. They'll reach
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the tanks of gasoline. Yes, that's true. You had forgotten
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: you were 5,000 feet up in the air, hadn't you, Gorlin?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: And now, give me the bottle.
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: How can I fight what I cannot see? Well, I'm
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: a man of the army. I know that sometimes to
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: retreat is as good as to advance.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: I choose to retreat.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Will you join me? What do you mean?
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Join me. You hear me? Join me.
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: You with your power of hypnosis that hides you from
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: human eyes. I with this elixir of youth. Between us,
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: we can hold Europe and all the world in our hands. Shadow,
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: join me.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: My answer is, give me that bottle, Garland.
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: It won't do you any good.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Why do you say that?
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Because, with the.
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: Liquid or without, the power of everlasting youth is mine.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: A few hours before leaving, I had the poor lamented Dr.
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: Marler's discovery analyzed. The ingredients of the liquid were remarkably simple.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: I could give you the bottle, but the formula remains
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: in my head. So you see, my mysterious friend, you
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: have no choice.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: You must join me. You are silent, eh?
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: So we will drink to the future. The future of
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: might and power and glory.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Your glass, Mr.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Shadow.
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: I will set it here and... And mine here. All
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: quite friendly. You will find this wine most excellent. And now,
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: my glass.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: So, now, lift your glass. We will drink.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Still silent.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: You will not join me.
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: You are completely defeated, eh, Shadow?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Very well, I... I drink alone. Good wine, Shadow.
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: It is a pity you do not drink.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: The pity is for you, Garland.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: For me?
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: But I drank. But what did you drink?
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: I drank wine.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: You thought you palmed the little bottle very cleverly, didn't you?
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: I do not know what you're saying.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I am saying that as you poured the wine for me,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the other liquid joined it in the glass. Dr. Marler's liquid.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: How clever of you to see that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: Such a large dose of the rejuvenation liquid, it's It
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: might have been most unfortunate for you.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: You should be very happy you did not drink.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: But you drank.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: You didn't see my hand reverse the glasses.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: Reverse?
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: No.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: No, you lie.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Smell the glass you drank from.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: No, you lie.
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: I did not drink the liquid.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I'll kill you.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Where are you?
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: I'll kill you.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I'll... Now you know I spoke the truth.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: Oh, no, I am all right.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: I must be all right.
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: My destiny to lead great armies. No, no, you are wrong, Shadow.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: I suddenly feel stronger.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: You see, I am always victorious, Mr.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Shadow. We shall see, Gorlin.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: What's happening to me? My head, it suddenly spins.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: That is the liquid beginning its work.
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: No, no, it can't be.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: You should see your face, Gorlin. It's growing rounder, younger,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: like that of a young man.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: No, no, it can't be.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: And it will grow even younger as the seconds tick
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: by until you become a.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: 16-year-old, then a small boy, then a baby, and finally
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: depart from this earth. Do you hear me, Gorlin? You
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: will vanish from this earth. No, no, you lie.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: You look about 16 now, Gorlin.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I won't die this way.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I won't.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: Don't open that window, you fool.
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: I choose my own death, Shadow. I choose my own death.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I choose my own death.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: I'm still waiting for you to finish.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: The story, Lamont.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Would you rather hear me play, Margot? It's really much
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: more interesting. No, this story first, please. Well, really nothing
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: more to tell. Gorlin was killed when he leaped from
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: the window.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Of the plane.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: It must have been a horrible experience, Lamont. But did
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: he really drink the rejuvenation liquid?
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: No. However, I did fill his drink with a few
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: drops of this harmless stimulant.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: that.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: I had in vial in my pocket. That exhilarated him
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: and the power of suggestion did the rest.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Then Dr. Marlowe's secret is still safe?
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Yes, Marlowe. But I destroyed it. You see, there was
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: good and bad in that liquid of youth.
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: Dr.
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: Marlowe wanted to give the world the good. And Garland
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: sought to spread its evil. Spread it with an army
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: of deathless soldiers marching like a scourge across the face
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: of the earth.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: They're both dead now.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: And their secret has died with them.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: The End.
• 26:58
