• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Helen and I had never been apart since our folks died.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Never before that summer when I got a job up
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: at Lake Arrowhead. She was supposed to go with me,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: wait on tables or something. It was to be our vacations.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: but at the last minute she decided to stay in L.A.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: She figured her boyfriend Steve might be coming home on
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: a furlough. I should have known better. My sister was
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: such a kid, but I let her talk me into it,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: and I left her there alone. That was the beginning
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: of the whole thing. That's when she met him, Phil Armstrong.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: If I hadn't gone away that summer, I guess Phil
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: would be alive today. All during the time that I
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: was gone... Helen didn't write much, and what letters I
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: did get didn't seem natural. So I was anxious to
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: finish my job and get home. I expected her to
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: be at the bus station, but she wasn't. And when
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: I got to the apartment, I could hear someone moving inside.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: The door was locked, so I knocked.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Helen?
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Who is it?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: It's me. Jimmy? Yeah, open the door.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, Jimmy. Yes, it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Is.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Hi, honey.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Since when have you taken to locking the door in
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the day to... Helen. Helen. What did you do to yourself?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Your face. Were you in an accident?
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: I fell, Jimmy. I fell and I hurt myself.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Well, your eyes swollen shut. Let me look at it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, I have something to tell you.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: What are these suitcases doing here?
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: You and I are going away, Jimmy. We've got to
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: get out of here. I packed everything.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: We're going no place till you tell me what this
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: is all about.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Well, Jimmy, while you were gone, I got married. Married?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: You mean Steve was here on his furlough?
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: No, Jimmy. Not to Steve.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Not.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: But you were engaged to him.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: Yes, I know. I got a letter from him right
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: after you left. He married someone he met where he
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: was stationed.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, Helen. Gee, I.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: I was pretty upset, Jimmy, and that's when I met
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Phil Armstrong.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, but gee, I think you might have... I don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: even know the guy.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: No, neither did I. I was unhappy.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, you just don't go off and marry someone you
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: That's what I did, Jimmy. Now we've got to get
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: out of here.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: Huh?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Well, but why?
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Because there's been trouble.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: What kind of trouble?
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid, Jimmy. He's terrible. He takes something. I don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: know what. But sometimes he's... He's crazy.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Helen.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Your face. You didn't fall.
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: No.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: He did that. I'll... I'll kill him.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: He'll kill you. That's what I mean. That's why we've
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: got to get away.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Well, you can get a divorce, can't you?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: He'd threaten me if I even tried to get one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: We'll put him under a peace bond.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: What good would a peace bond be, Jimmy, if he
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: killed one of us?
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: So I let her talk me into running away. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: guess I shouldn't have, but I knew that if I
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: saw him after what he'd done to her... Well, anyhow,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I saved my salary and I had some gas coupons.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: We didn't know where we were going, but we started out.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: I don't know what he'll do when he finds I've gone.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Helen, don't you think we ought to go to the police?
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'm afraid, Jimmy. I know him. I know what
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: he'd do if he found out we'd reported him.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: But they'd protect us, Helen. They'd protect us.
• 5:22
  Speaker 10: What if he got to us before they got to him?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: And she looked so frightened, I thought it best to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: let her do it her way.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: We got to Santa Monica that night and we stopped
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: at a motel near the water. Well, a week slipped
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: by and Helen seemed to be forgetting. She didn't jump
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: every time someone knocked at the door. And she began
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: to get a nice tan. I managed to get a job.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: It was at McGuffey's, Potluck Gallery, and one of the
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: shooting concessions on the pier. Then one night late, as
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: I came.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Home from work, I heard voices coming from our apartment.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I knew who it was, and I knew that from
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: what Helen had told me, it would be foolish for
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: me to go in unarmed. So I ran back to
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the shooting concession. It didn't take long, but when I
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: got back, the lights were out, and the sound of
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: voices was gone. I tried the door.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It was very dark.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: And then my foot struck something soft and heavy on
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: the floor. I snapped on the switch, and the room
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: was flooded with light. And I looked down into a
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: dead man's face.
• 6:30
  Speaker 11: The End.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Tonight for suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you a star, Mr.

  Speaker 9: And now it is with pleasure that we bring back
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: to our soundstage Robert Cummings, who, as young Jimmy Barton,
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: resumes his narrative concerning the death of a brother-in-law in
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: The Dead of the Night, a tale well calculated to
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: keep you in suspense.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: The Dead of the.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Night It's funny how in the biggest, the most important,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: the most terrifying moments of your whole life, you remember
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: little tiny insignificant things.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I remember that I set my alarm. It was to
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: go off at five o'clock.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: I'd set it to wake me up that afternoon. And
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: a bird started to chatter outside as I stood there
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: shivering with cold and terror, looking down at that dead
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: man's face. Although I'd never seen him alive, I knew
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: this was Phil, her husband. There was a deep gash
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: over his eye, and the blood still flowed from it
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: onto the floor.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I stepped over him, and I ran into the bedroom. Helen! Helen!
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: But there was no one in the bedroom, nor in
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the kitchen. And then I heard the front door open.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Jimmy!
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Close that door, Helen.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: Oh, Jimmy!
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Close it, do you hear me?
• 9:28
  Speaker 11: Be quiet.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Turn the lights out.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Be quiet, I tell you.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, Jimmy, what have I let you in for?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Stay where you are.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Don't move, Ellen.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Who is it?
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Keep quiet.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Jimmy!
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, Jimmy, it's Mrs.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Gordon.
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: Is she going to unlock the door?
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, just a minute, Mrs.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Gordon.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I'll get something on.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Jimmy, what's going on in there? All the cats have
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: been complaining.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Just some friends of mine, Mrs. Gordon. They were having
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: a party. They're gone now.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Jimmy Barton, you should be ashamed of yourself. Now open
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: this door. I want to talk to you.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not dressed. I was taking a shower.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Well, slip something on.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm tired. I just was going to bed.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Jimmy, I told you I wanted to talk to you.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: Now will you open this door?
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Here's a passkey, Jimmy.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: All right, Mrs. Gordon. Just let me get some clothes on.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: I'll give you two minutes.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what to do. I knew she was
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: determined to come in. Mrs.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Gordon was a nosy old woman. She meant well. She'd
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: taken it upon herself to mother Helen and me. She
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: was always coming into the apartment with her pots of
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: jam and her bowls of soup. I knew no matter
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: what I said, nothing would stop her.
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: What'll we do, Jimmy?
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: We got about a minute left.
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: Helen!
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Helen!
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Take him by the feet.
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: No.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Helen, take him by the feet.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: It's no use. It's no use.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: We started half dragging, half carrying him towards the bedroom.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: The rug slipping along the floor as we moved. We'd
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: just gotten into the bedroom and then.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Time's up, Jimmy. And as long as your good mother
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: isn't here to look after you, I'm going to myself.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: We can't leave him here. She might come into the bedroom.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Quick, the bathroom.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, where are you? What if she comes in here?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Pull back those shower curtains.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, we can't.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Don't argue. Pull them back.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, I can't get his legs in.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Here, I'll double them up.
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: There.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Pull the curtains together, quick.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: Jimmy, what's been going on in here? Why, look at
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: my rugs.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Has there been a fire? Just a minute, Mrs.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: Gordon. Jimmy, what's on this floor? And on this gas heater?
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Is this floor? Jimmy, Jimmy.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Get me a razor out of the medicine chest.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: What are you going to do?
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Never mind. Do stay here.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: I'm coming, Mrs.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Gordon.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Well, just as I suspected. You've been frightened. And you've
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: hurt yourself. Now let me see your hand.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, it isn't bad, Mrs. Gordon.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, no wonder you didn't want me to come in.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Where's Helen?
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: She's out. She hasn't been here all evening.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Well, let's look at that hand.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: It isn't bad, Mrs. Gordon, really.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: You let me see that hand.
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: There.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: Why, Jimmy, this is a bad gash. Have you disinfected it?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I have.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: Well, let me bandage it for you.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: But this towel's all right.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: It's not all right. Where are your bandages and things?
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: In the bathroom?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: No, no. I mean, I don't have any.
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: Now, you're just saying that, Jimmy Barton, because you don't
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: want to be bandaged. You're not fooling me. I'm going
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: right into the bathroom and getting... No, not the bath.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have any.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll just see for myself.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: No, no, Mrs. Gordon.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, why, you drip blood all over this floor. Here.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Let's look in this medicine closet. Ah, there, I knew it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: Here's some tape and some gauze, too.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Mrs. Gordon, can't we just do this in the living room?
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: No, we'll do it right here. Now, here's some alcohol.
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: Come on, put your hand over.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: We stood there, and she bandaged me, and I kept
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: wondering where Helen had gone. And then I saw the
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: shower curtain move slightly, and I knew. For a moment,
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: I thought Mrs. Gordon had seen it, too.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, just look at that shower curtain.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Goodness, you smeared that with blood, too. Well, I'd better
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: clean things up for you before Helen gets home. Why,
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: you'll scare the life out of me.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I'll clean it up, Mrs.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Gordon.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: You've done enough.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Thanks very much for taking care of this hand.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Well, all right. If you don't want me to. Now,
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: you'd better get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: Good night, Jimmy.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Good night, Mrs.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: Gordon.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: Oh, Jimmy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Jimmy. I had to hide someplace. It was terrible.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I know. It was the only thing you could do.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: Jimmy!
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: Jimmy, I forgot to tell you that I'm having some
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: painting done tomorrow. So you'll have to be out of
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: here early. So I'm not getting painted these days without
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: making them wait for the tenants to get up, you know.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: All right, Mrs. Gordon. I'll be out first thing in
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: Good night.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Good night.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: I will have to get him out of here.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Where will we take him?
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I've got to think. Here, Helen, you
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: try and get some rest.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, let me go to the police. Let me tell
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: them that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: that.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: I did it. Let me tell them what he was.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: They won't do anything to me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: No, no. You try and rest. What time is it?
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: About six.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Six. We've got two hours before the painters get here.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: What are we going to do, Jimmy?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Let's see. There's a car. No one will see us
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: if we take him through the service porch into the garage.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Then what.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but that'll get him out of here anyway.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I think I can do it alone, Helen.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Listen, Jimmy, we're in this mess because of me. I'm
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: going to help you. I'll be ready in a minute.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: When I went into the bathroom, the shower curtains were
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: standing open. His legs had slipped from their cramped position
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: and they'd pushed themselves into the room. He sat there
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: with his head twisted down and his chin digging into
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: his chest. I took a washcloth and I.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: It was awful.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: I wiped the blood off his face, just in case
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: anyone saw us. They might think he was just sick.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I tried to lift him, but I slipped. And his
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: head made a hollow sound as it dumped down on
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: the shower floor. Helen helped me get him into the
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: luggage compartment of the car.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Where are we going, Jimmy?
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Helen, won't you please stay in the apartment?
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: No, no, I couldn't. I'm going with you.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Helen, haven't you done enough?
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: I'm going with you. Too late now to wish that
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: I hadn't... Where are we going?
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: To the pier, the Santa Monica Pier. Beyond the concessions,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: you can drive a car on the end there.
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: Lucky it's so foggy.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. What time is it?
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Five of seven.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: We'll have to act fast. This fog will be clearing soon.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: It'll be harder to get him out of this car. Now,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: you stay here.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I can manage this alone this time.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'll help you, Jimmy.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: You stay here, do you hear me?
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: All right, call me if you need me.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I'll go around the back. Keep your eyes open. Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: Jimmy?
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: What?
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Someone's coming. Who is it?
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: I can't see.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, it's the police.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: What?
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: It's the police.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Jimmy! Oh, it's all right.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: I know him.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: It's Red Davis. He's the beach patrolman. Uh, hello, Red.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: Ah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: Well, hello, Jimmy.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Say, when do you get your sleep? Didn't you close
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: up after that swing ship dance last night?
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Red, but I couldn't seem to remember if I'd
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: locked up the old shooting gallery, so I came over
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: this morning to have a look around.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I see. Oh, I'm sorry. This is my sister. Red,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: this is Helen. This is Red Davis.
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: Hello.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: So you're an early riser, too, huh?
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Yes, I am.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Well, the fog's clearing up. It looks like we're going
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: to get some sun today for a change, huh? Yeah. Well,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I guess I'll be getting back. I think I'll try
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and catch a few more hours sleep. Well, so long. Yeah,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: so long. Oh, say, say, Jimmy. Yeah?
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Say, Jimmy, I have to take my wife over to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the nursery today to pick up some plants and stuff,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: And I don't have a trunk on my car. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: wonder if you'll let me have yours.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: You have to drive me over to Malibu this afternoon, Jimmy.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'd forgotten. Well, you can drive her over
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: in my car. How's that? Well, you see... That brother
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: of yours thinks I'll wreck that beautiful car of his. Oh,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: it isn't that, Red. Okay, then I'll be over about noon.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I'll leave my car for you till I get back, Red. Well,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I won't be home at noon, Red. All right, I'll
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: meet you at the entrance to the pier.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: How's that?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: All right, Red. Well... So long.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: So long.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: Why'd you say he'd be here, Jimmy?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Well, if I didn't, he'll go over to the apartment
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: looking for us. And you don't want any policemen over there,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: do you? Oh.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, no.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: No, of course not.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: We've got to get out of here fast.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: As we drove along the ocean, the fog cleared up rapidly.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: It was almost 8 o'clock and some kids were already
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: out on the beach playing around.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Then I saw a group of early picnickers.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: They were unloading their blankets, umbrellas, and things.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I guess it was from them I got the idea.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: From seeing them.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, your gas is pretty near on empty.
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: You got any more coupons?
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: No, they're all used up. We're going to have to
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: do something soon.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: I know, Jimmy.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: We can't go back to the motel with the painters there.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: And we can't leave him in the car. Reg LaBlessis
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: and Pinnis down to using it. There's only one place left.
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: Where, Jimmy?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Helen, listen. I'm going to let you out of this car.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You can't help me with what I've got to do now.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: No, Jimmy, I'm staying.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Don't argue with me.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: I'm not leaving you, Jimmy.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Get out of this car, do you hear me?
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: No.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I haven't time to argue with you.
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: Please.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Now get out.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: I won't do it, Jimmy.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, you will if I have to push you out.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: Jimmy, you're hurting me.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: There.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Now go back to the motel. Get off that running board, Helen.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: I can't leave you alone, Jimmy. I want to help you.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not blaming you for killing him, Helen, but now
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you've got to help me do as I say. What, Jimmy, what?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I don't blame you for what you did. He deserved it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: But now you've got to help me handle things.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, you've got to let me.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Goodbye, Helen.
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: Jimmy!
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, Jimmy, don't leave me!
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: Jimmy!
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: I watched her out of the mirror. She kept calling me.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: I drove on as fast as I could. I knew
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: what I had to do when I was one chance
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: in a million.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: But I had to take it. And I didn't want
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: her to be part of it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: If I could keep him on the beach that whole day,
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: then maybe I'd be able to get rid of him
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: when night fell. I wanted to drive further along, but
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I was afraid I'd run out of gas. So I
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: settled for a deserted strip of beach not far from
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: the motel. I had my swimming shorts and a blanket
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: and a towel in the car, and I got out.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: I looked around carefully, and then I opened the luggage
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: compartment and.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: But I.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I started taking his clothes off. I managed to get
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: my shorts onto him. Lucky we were pretty near the
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: same size.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: And then I... And I closed the door.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: And I went out onto the beach and I spread
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: my blanket out on the sand.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: And then I went back... Went back for him.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: When there were no cars in sight, I carried him
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: over where I'd spread my blanket. And I placed him
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: onto it face down... with his hands folded over his head,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: as though he were just sunbathing. Then I spread my
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: towel out a short distance from him, and I laid
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: down on it, and I tried to look relaxed. People
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: didn't start to arrive until about an hour later. Gradually,
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: little groups of sunbathers started to form. He and I,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: we looked no different from the others. No one paid
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: any attention to us. I was beginning to feel that
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: everything was going to be easy once it was dark again, but.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Jimmy!
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: I've been looking all over for you.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: What? I.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, hello, Mrs. Gordon.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: Where's Helen?
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Isn't she in the apartment?
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: No. What time did you go out this morning?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I couldn't sleep.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Didn't Helen come in at all last night?
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, she did, but she left early, too. Said
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: she was going into Los Angeles.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, my.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: I was so worried about her. Well, the painters came, Jimmy,
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: and everything's a mess. I think I'll sit down.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Here with you a while.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: You're not with anyone, are you?
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: No. No, I'm not.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Goodness, I wish I'd brought along some oil. Looks like
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: it's going to be a hot day. You know, these
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: days that start off foggy are very deceiving.
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they are.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: This is a real treat for me, Jimmy. I never
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: get out on the beach. I think I'll have a
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: nice day of rest for change. Later we can get
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: some sandwiches. The seat's on me.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Well, Mrs. Gordon, no, I hadn't planned on spending the
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: day at the beach. Oh, it'll be good.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: For you, Jimmy.
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: Not healthy for a boy your age to be working
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: all night and sleeping all day.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: But, Mrs. Gordon, you see, I.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, do you know that man over there?
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Which one?
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: Why, that one right there.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: What?
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know him.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Well, he's lying so still. going to get an awful burn.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Well, do you suppose he's asleep? It isn't good to
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: sleep in the sun, you know.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Mrs.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Gordon, do you think that the painters will be finished
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: by this afternoon? Huh?
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, well, I hope so. My, a person can get
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: an awful burn on a day like this. You know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: someone ought.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: To speak to him. Mrs. Gordon, wouldn't you like to
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: go for a walk?
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'm not one for walking. You go ahead if
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: you like.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I... Come on, Dick.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Pitch it over here. Oh, those kids. You children, stop that.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: You're getting sand all over me. Oh, sorry, Lee. No
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: need to play here. There's a playground over by the pier.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Now you just get away from here. Don't pay no
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: attention to her.
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: She don't own the beach.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Pitch it over here.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I'm coming at you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: Uh-oh. He hit that guy on the piece.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Bam. Now see what they've done. They've hit that poor man.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Now they'll get what's coming to them.
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: Mrs.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Gordon, sure you don't want to go up and get
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: some sandwiches or something. I'll just stay here and.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: Not until I see those two hoodlums get what they deserve. Shh. Gee,
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, mister. Could we have our ball? Now, look
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: at that.
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: Ball's right in the crook of his arm. He's pretending
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: he's asleep. He's not going to hand it to them.
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: But just wait till they reach for it. He'll give
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: them something besides their ball.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: What are you waiting for, Dickie? It's our ball. Just
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: take it. Oh, hey, mister, could we have... Go on,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: take it. Here, I'll get it. Thanks, mister. What's the matter? Gee,
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: he's cold. What'd you say? He's cold, lady. His arms
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: are like ice. I just touched it. You probably hurt him. Well,
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: a ball like this couldn't hurt anybody. Well, nevertheless, it did.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Now, let's have a look.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: And then she started moving toward him. I knew it
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: was useless to try and stop her. And then she
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: reached over and put her hand on his back. And
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: suddenly she was screaming.
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: Oh, fuck!
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: This man is dead!
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: This man is dead! Before long, there was a crowd
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: of people around us, and someone called the police.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: I wanted to run, but I knew that would be
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: the wrong thing to do, so I just stayed there, numb-like,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: watching things.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: When the police came, they started questioning everybody. Mrs. Gordon
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: was first.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: Why, why, he'd been there all morning. I came early,
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: and he was here already. Just like that. You know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: with his face down. Just like he was.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Was there anyone else around when you arrived?
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Around? Yes, Jimmy was here. He was here all alone
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: with him. Weren't you, Jimmy.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I was.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: Yes, you were.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Doesn't anyone know this man? Do you know him, Jim?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I told you kids to keep away from here now,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: did you hear me?
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: We discovered him, didn't we? But it hadn't been for us. Yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: and you don't even know a clue when you see one.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: Look at his fingernails. What's that? Oh, the child's right, officer.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: Now just look for yourself.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Let me see that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: It looks like powder, something flaky. Are you sure none
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: of you people around here recognize him?
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Recognize him? Well, I've never seen him. Officer.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: Why that flag that he's lying on? Well, it's from
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: my motel.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: See?
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: It's stamped right under where you moved his hand. Oh, dear.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Look for yourself.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: See?
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: It says Seaside Motor Cabin.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. And you're sure he wasn't registered?
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm positive.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Is there anyone else around here from your hotel? From
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: your motel?
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, look.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Jimmy!
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Here comes Helen. Look, she's crying. Mrs.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Gordon, I ask if there was anybody around here from
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: your motel. Huh?
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: What's that? Oh, yes, Jimmy Barton here. And that girl,
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: you see, she's his sister. They've been with us for
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: several weeks.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Jimmy? What have you got to say, Jimmy?
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: And suddenly everyone was looking at me and at Helen
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: as she ran towards us. And like a fool, I
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: started to run too in Helen's direction to ward her off.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: I didn't get far, however. Someone caught me with the arm. Jimmy!
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: Jimmy, I've been looking all over for you.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Don't say anything, Helen. Let me do the talking. Don't
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: say anything.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Jimmy, when you forced me out of the car this morning,
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: you said you didn't pay me for having killed him.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Helen, be still.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: Don't.
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: Jimmy, I didn't kill him.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: I thought you had. I was helping you get rid
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: of him because I thought you'd done it.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, kid.
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: Helen.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Helen, are you telling the truth?
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: I swear it, Jimmy. Bill and I were quarreling. He'd
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: been taking something again. He was like crazy.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: This guy Phil?
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: And I knew there'd be trouble when he came home
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: from work. So I got out the back way and
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: I went looking for him on the pier. When I
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: couldn't find him, I went back to the motel and
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: I found him on the floor.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: I thought you.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: But Helen, why didn't you say so?
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: You didn't give me a chance, Jimmy. You just took
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: it for granted that I did it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: But who did kill him, Helen?
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm trying to tell you.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: Nobody killed him.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: What are you talking about?
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: I went to the.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: Motel where I would go to wait for him. While
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: I was there, I remembered about Phil last night.
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: How strangely he'd act, and I hadn't been able to
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: walk straight, and how he'd almost fallen several times while.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: We were quarreling. And then I saw the gas heater, Jimmy.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: There was a sharp edge on the top of it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: He must have fallen. He must have.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, but Helen, we've no way of proving that.
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: There was something else, Jimmy.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what?
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: The wall above the heater was scratched, as though someone
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: had clutched at it to save himself from falling.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: There might be fingerprints. There might be.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, that's not... Wait a minute, Jimmy. Plaster!
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Plaster! Hey, Red!
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: That flaky stuff you found under his fingernails, that might
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: have been plaster! And it was. Well, that's about it.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Everything checked back at the motel and the autopsy showed
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: he was full of dope.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: But I guess it was really Mrs. Gordon who saved
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: our necks for us.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Besides talking so loud and so long that they'd probably
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: acquitted us just to get rid of us, She did
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: dig up a witness who'd heard Helen and Phil quarreling
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: and who'd seen Helen leave alone after he'd threatened her. Well,
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: everything's all right now. Helen and I are beginning to forget.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: But it's Mrs. Gordon who's making quite a nuisance of
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: herself on the beach these days as she goes along
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: poking all the sunbathers and asking if they're sure they're
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: all right.
• 28:48
