Suspense! 01:37.000 --> 01:48.000 Let me tell you, let me talk as long as I can. It's my last chance to explain about Phil and all the trouble I had afterwards. Phil got me into this mess the night he died. 01:48.000 --> 01:52.000 I sat near his bed waiting for him to fall asleep and he said... 01:52.000 --> 01:55.000 Margo, was there anything in that milk you gave me tonight? 01:55.000 --> 01:59.000 Well of course darling. Dr. Landers prescribed it, a sedative. 01:59.000 --> 02:06.000 Oh? You're a beautiful woman Margo, very beautiful. Yes. 02:06.000 --> 02:13.000 He was taking so long to fall asleep. It was already after three in the morning. 02:13.000 --> 02:21.000 I listened to the wind. Phil and I were all alone, stuck in that god-forsaken mountain inn, ever since he fell ill just before Labor Day. 02:21.000 --> 02:26.000 There we were, ten thousand feet above sea level, not a soul for miles. 02:26.000 --> 02:33.000 The fall season was over and all the other guests were gone and even Joe, who owns the inn, had gone down to Leadfield to get his winter supplies. 02:33.000 --> 02:39.000 Oh, I shivered thinking of the dark, ragged, lonesome mountains outside and Phil opened his eyes again. 02:39.000 --> 02:47.000 You're a good actress Margo, better off the stage than you were on I expect. But I know you're fed up with our marriage. Have been ever since I became ill. 02:47.000 --> 02:48.000 I haven't complained Phil. 02:48.000 --> 02:54.000 No, it wouldn't fit the part. But you feel trapped out here in Colorado don't you? You'd rather be in New York. 02:54.000 --> 03:04.000 I wonder Margo, those pills you put on my lunch tray last week, they weren't my regular vitamin pills. Maybe you want your freedom and my money enough to poison me. 03:04.000 --> 03:06.000 Don't be ridiculous Phil. 03:06.000 --> 03:15.000 Well anyway I didn't take them, I hid them with a note saying that you tried to give them to me. Then I called a friend of mine, long distance, an old friend. 03:15.000 --> 03:16.000 Who? 03:16.000 --> 03:20.000 A detective named Rocky Rhodes. Rocky and I both stayed at this inn one summer. 03:20.000 --> 03:22.000 And what did you tell this Rocky? 03:22.000 --> 03:27.000 Never mind what I told him. Just remember he's due here tonight or in the morning. 03:27.000 --> 03:30.000 A detective? Phil you're a fool. 03:30.000 --> 03:32.000 I want a divorce Margo. 03:32.000 --> 03:33.000 You do? 03:33.000 --> 03:37.000 Yes, without any strings. Those pills are exhibit A if they're poison. 03:37.000 --> 03:44.000 Blackmail. Phil darling if you want a divorce, you can have it without threatening me. 03:44.000 --> 03:45.000 You'll sign the papers tomorrow? 03:45.000 --> 03:56.000 Of course darling. I only want to make you happy. But now go to sleep Phil. You need a good rest. Go to sleep. 03:56.000 --> 04:02.000 I stroked his forehead and the sedatives finally took effect. His breathing became very heavy and even. 04:02.000 --> 04:10.000 I looked at him and thought he was smart not to take those pills. Ah but not smart enough. He shouldn't have told me about that detective. 04:10.000 --> 04:16.000 He thought he was protecting himself and that I wouldn't dare do anything now. Ah but he was wrong because I had to now. 04:16.000 --> 04:23.000 I couldn't afford to wait and lose everything when he divorced me. And besides I'd find those pills in the letter before the detective got here. 04:23.000 --> 04:28.000 There was practically no risk the way I'd planned it this time. 04:28.000 --> 04:35.000 Outside it had started to rain. A heavy downpour. And the only other sound in the world was Phil's breathing. 04:35.000 --> 04:43.000 I picked up the extra pillow and put it down carefully. Carefully over his face. 04:43.000 --> 04:53.000 He didn't move. I pressed the pillow down on the side so that no air could get in. No air at all. And held it there a long time. 04:53.000 --> 05:02.000 Once the pillow shook a little when Phil's head moved. Once there was a gurgling sound. And that was all. 05:02.000 --> 05:11.000 When I lifted the pillow and took it back in its place the job was done. Everything I ever wanted. Money and freedom was right in my hands. 05:11.000 --> 05:17.000 Phil was dead. 05:17.000 --> 05:24.000 Dead of a heart attack Dr. Landers would say. Oh but wait a minute. Unless someone found those pills with a note from Phil. 05:24.000 --> 05:30.000 Phil hadn't died of poison so I was safe. But there would be questions. Questions I didn't want to have asked. 05:30.000 --> 05:38.000 I had to find those pills myself. I started to search. First the pillow under Phil's head. 05:38.000 --> 05:48.000 No. Then the nightstand beside his bed. And the desk under the window. 05:48.000 --> 05:55.000 No. Where could he have hidden it? After all. 05:55.000 --> 06:03.000 The bell. Could it be Phil's detective already? Rocky. Rocky Rhodes. I'll have to be very careful. 06:03.000 --> 06:13.000 Just a minute. I'm coming. Just a minute. 06:13.000 --> 06:20.000 Yes. Well don't stand there. It's raining in. Oh I'm sorry. I think I'm lost. I'm looking for Pine View Lodge. 06:20.000 --> 06:26.000 Well you are lost. This is Fisherman's net. Yes I know. I saw the sign. It's closed for the winter. 06:26.000 --> 06:30.000 Well could you put me up? The manager's away. There's only me and my husband. 06:30.000 --> 06:35.000 Well the luck of the Irish. They meet a beautiful blonde and she's married every time. 06:35.000 --> 06:39.000 You wouldn't turn me out in this storm. I'm soaking wet. I'm afraid I... 06:39.000 --> 06:46.000 Oh please. Just tonight. In the morning I'll get my bearings. Well if it's only for one night. Yes that's all. Thank you. 06:46.000 --> 06:53.000 Oh what a vacation. Where are you from? Chicago. Newspaper man. My name is Mike Sheldon. 06:53.000 --> 06:58.000 How do you do Mr. Sheldon? I'm Mrs. Weatherby. How do you do? Where do I bunk? Upstairs? 06:58.000 --> 07:02.000 Yes you can take the trout room. Every room is named for a different kind of fish. 07:02.000 --> 07:06.000 It's the second room on the right from the top of the stairs. Thank you. 07:06.000 --> 07:11.000 It's great of you to let me stay. Would you like some hot coffee? Fine. It's no trouble. 07:11.000 --> 07:16.000 Not at all. I was going to make some for myself. I can use some all right. No. No wait. 07:16.000 --> 07:21.000 What? No not that room. No. What's wrong Mrs. Weatherby? 07:21.000 --> 07:27.000 Well I said the second door on the right. The salmon room not the trout room. I made a mistake. 07:27.000 --> 07:34.000 Forgive me but this is my husband's room and he's not well. I was afraid you'd wake him up. 07:34.000 --> 07:41.000 Oh that was bad. Very bad. Making a slip like that in front of Phil's detective Rocky Rhodes. 07:41.000 --> 07:45.000 Because of course Mike Sheldon was Rocky Rhodes. Who else could he be? 07:45.000 --> 07:49.000 And I had to find those pills before he did and started making trouble. 07:49.000 --> 07:54.000 Before I could get back to the search two more unexpected guests popped in at Fisherman's Net. 07:54.000 --> 07:58.000 A small dapper man with a black mustache and slick black hair. 07:58.000 --> 08:02.000 But I'm Charlie Miller. I got a reservation here and I'm staying. 08:02.000 --> 08:04.000 But the manager is away. He didn't mention any reservations. 08:04.000 --> 08:10.000 He must have forgot then. I made it by telephone from KC. That is I mean I asked a friend of mine to make it. 08:12.000 --> 08:17.000 A friend of his? Was it Phil? Was Charlie Miller Rocky Rhodes? 08:17.000 --> 08:22.000 He couldn't be a detective. He was too stupid. No. No. Mike Sheldon was Rocky Rhodes. 08:22.000 --> 08:26.000 There was a girl with Charlie Miller. I thought she was Mrs. Miller. 08:26.000 --> 08:30.000 No. I'm Susan Quinn. Mr. Miller and I met on the bus. 08:30.000 --> 08:35.000 Yeah. And we were great pals right off. I call her Susie Q. You get it? 08:35.000 --> 08:37.000 Yes. 08:37.000 --> 08:40.000 But the initials on your suitcase are S.R. Miss Quinn. 08:40.000 --> 08:47.000 Oh. Well I borrowed my sister Sheila's suitcase. Sheila Riley. She's married. 08:47.000 --> 08:50.000 Sheila and I always borrow each other's things. 08:53.000 --> 08:57.000 Was it true? Or was her name Susan Rhodes? 08:57.000 --> 09:02.000 Nicknamed Rocky Rhodes. Things are getting more complicated every minute. 09:02.000 --> 09:07.000 Two men had arrived and Sheldon seemed the most like a detective. 09:07.000 --> 09:11.000 It was too late for me then to go on hunting for the pills. 09:11.000 --> 09:17.000 It was morning. In case questions were asked later I had to be able to say I had done what a wife with a sick husband ought to do. 09:17.000 --> 09:20.000 I had to take Phil his breakfast on a tray. 09:21.000 --> 09:24.000 Well Mrs. W. Hey you're an early bird. 09:24.000 --> 09:30.000 Here let me help you. Oh thank you Mr. Miller. This is my husband's breakfast. If you'll open the door. 09:30.000 --> 09:32.000 Sure thing. There you are. 09:32.000 --> 09:34.000 Thank you. 09:35.000 --> 09:40.000 Phil. Phil dear. I brought you. 09:40.000 --> 09:42.000 Something wrong Mrs. W.? 09:42.000 --> 09:45.000 My husband. He looks. He looks. 09:45.000 --> 09:51.000 Anything I can do? Say. He does look pretty green at that. 09:51.000 --> 09:55.000 Mr. Weatherby. Hey Mr. Weatherby. 09:55.000 --> 10:02.000 You'd better sit down Mrs. Weatherby. It looks to me like your husband has passed away. 10:02.000 --> 10:06.000 Oh no. No no no. Here now. Just sit down. 10:06.000 --> 10:10.000 Alright now you just cry on Uncle Charlie's shoulder. It'll do you good. 10:10.000 --> 10:12.000 You're very kind. 10:12.000 --> 10:17.000 Morning. Oh say Sheldon. Got a little trouble here. Trouble? Mrs. Weatherby? 10:17.000 --> 10:21.000 Well her husband's passed away and is asleep it looks like. 10:21.000 --> 10:30.000 I brought his breakfast. I thought he was asleep. Will somebody phone Phil's doctor. Dr. Landers and Salisbury Gap. 10:30.000 --> 10:35.000 Well of course but. Excuse me I'm afraid I've got to go to my room. 10:42.000 --> 10:45.000 Mrs. Weatherby. Mrs. Weatherby. 10:45.000 --> 10:52.000 Oh Miss Quinn. What happened? Have I been asleep? 10:52.000 --> 10:56.000 When you got to your room you fainted. I still feel rather faint. 10:56.000 --> 11:01.000 I brought you some brandy. Could you drink a little? Not now. I couldn't. 11:01.000 --> 11:07.000 Where's Mr. Miller and Mr. Sheldon? They're moving your husband's body. No they mustn't. 11:07.000 --> 11:13.000 Well Dr. Landers told Mike to on the phone. The rain turned to snow during the night and he won't be able to get here because of the storm. 11:13.000 --> 11:19.000 Not until the snow plow gets through. So he thought it best we put Mr. Weatherby. Not outdoors. 11:19.000 --> 11:29.000 No. There's a hillside cellar out back. Oh yes. What else did Dr. Landers say about Phil? 11:29.000 --> 11:39.000 He said it must have been a heart attack. And that you have nothing in the world with which to reproach yourself. 11:39.000 --> 11:43.000 He's sure you did everything you could. 11:53.000 --> 12:02.000 For Suspense, Autolite is bringing you Miss Jane Wyman in Radio's outstanding theatre of thrills, Suspense. 12:02.000 --> 12:14.000 Say, Hap, look at that stack of valentines. Quite a pile, child. In fact, flocks, Wilcox. 12:14.000 --> 12:19.000 No, they're not for me. They're valentines to Autolite resistor spark plugs. Listen to this one. 12:19.000 --> 12:25.000 You've won my heart with your kisses and your hugs and a set of Autolite resistor spark plugs. How's that, Hap? 12:25.000 --> 12:34.000 Ah, the spark of love. Why, sure. Everybody loves Autolite wide gap resistor spark plugs. Replace your narrow gap plugs with these beauties to make your car idle smoother. 12:34.000 --> 12:41.000 Give better performance with leaner gas mixtures. Actually save gas dollars. Now here's a valentine that's right in line. 12:41.000 --> 12:48.000 Oh, valentine, will you be mine and will you make me happy? Put Autolite resistor spark plugs in my car. Help make it smooth and snappy. 12:48.000 --> 12:53.000 Boy, that's hitting on all six. Oh, naturally. Here's another valentine that touches this old heart of mine. 12:53.000 --> 13:01.000 Oh, Autolite resistor spark plugs. With me, you are a fixture. You help my car run smoother far and go on lean gas mixture. 13:01.000 --> 13:07.000 Say, Hap, that's the best yet. But right now, here's suspense. 13:07.000 --> 13:17.000 And now, Autolite brings back to our Hollywood sound stage, Miss Jane Wyman as Margo in Catch Me If You Can. 13:17.000 --> 13:23.000 A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 13:23.000 --> 13:31.000 I kept up my act all that day and I didn't overplay it. I'm not the type for floods of tears, so I adopted a one gentle sadness, 13:31.000 --> 13:37.000 which made the others think me very brave. But all the time, there were two things on my mind driving me crazy. 13:37.000 --> 13:43.000 Who was Rocky Rhodes? And where had Phil hidden the pills? And I couldn't hunt for them. 13:43.000 --> 13:49.000 Somebody was always in my room fussing over me. Finally, in the late afternoon, I managed to get away. 13:49.000 --> 13:55.000 I just started to look through Phil's clothes when... Oh, there you are. I was looking for you. 13:55.000 --> 14:00.000 No snowplow will get through here today. I'll just have to put up with Charlie Miller's jokes another evening. 14:00.000 --> 14:05.000 Are his jokes that bad? Well, you heard him ragging Susan, calling her Suzy Kew. 14:05.000 --> 14:14.000 Oh, nicknames. Lots of people have the nickname habit. My husband had a friend named Rhodes. He nicknamed Rocky Rhodes. 14:14.000 --> 14:19.000 It's a change from Dusty Rhodes, at any rate. By the way, where are you from? 14:19.000 --> 14:25.000 Boston. Why do you ask? Oh, just idle curiosity. You know what they say about curiosity. 14:25.000 --> 14:31.000 Would you excuse me, please? I was going over my husband's things. Yeah, go right ahead. I'll just keep you company. 14:31.000 --> 14:38.000 Looking for something? No, I want a pack so I can leave as soon as possible. I want to get back to New York. 14:38.000 --> 14:45.000 I don't blame you. Need any help? No, thank you. As a matter of fact, I... Would you mind? I'd rather be alone. 14:45.000 --> 14:48.000 No, no, it's not good for you to be alone. I'll just stay here and keep you company. 14:48.000 --> 14:52.000 Nosy. Did you say something? No, I... 14:52.000 --> 14:58.000 Here's a book of Oscar Wilde's. Why don't I read to you while you work? Let me see. 14:58.000 --> 15:05.000 Did your husband own all these shoes? He did. Wealthy man, apparently. How nice for you. 15:05.000 --> 15:12.000 Now, how about some poetry? Let's try this one. 15:12.000 --> 15:18.000 The poor dead woman whom he loved and murdered in her bed. 15:18.000 --> 15:22.000 Shall I go on, Mrs. Weatherby? 15:22.000 --> 15:27.000 But I couldn't let Sheldon unnerve me. I had to keep cool. 15:27.000 --> 15:33.000 I went on packing and he went on reading on and on endlessly about blood and poor prisons and hangings. 15:33.000 --> 15:39.000 While I tried not to miss anything of Phil's, I had to have those pills. 15:42.000 --> 15:48.000 An hour later in my room, I knew I didn't have them. But Rocky Rhodes didn't have them yet either. 15:48.000 --> 15:53.000 Otherwise he would have said something. But the pills didn't have to be in Phil's room. 15:53.000 --> 15:59.000 Which one was Rhodes? Miller or Sheldon? I would have to find out by elimination. 15:59.000 --> 16:03.000 After dinner that night, I went into the main parlor. 16:03.000 --> 16:06.000 And Charlie Miller grabbed me and danced me over to the fire. 16:06.000 --> 16:12.000 Ah, here you are, Mrs. W. Now you just sit right here and have a highball, see? 16:12.000 --> 16:15.000 And we'll have a nice little cozy chat with little old Charlie. 16:15.000 --> 16:19.000 Oh, you're so formal, Charlie. Call me Margo. 16:19.000 --> 16:24.000 Margo? I'll bet your mother called you Maggie. You thought up Margo to use on the stage. 16:24.000 --> 16:29.000 On the stage? How did you know I was an actress? This was the clue I'd been looking for. 16:29.000 --> 16:32.000 Oh, a guy with my experience can always tell. 16:32.000 --> 16:36.000 You can? Sure. And I know how you actresses operate. 16:36.000 --> 16:39.000 You all take different monikers. I'll bet you were great, baby. 16:39.000 --> 16:45.000 Oh, I wasn't very good. There was only one way that Miller could have known about my being on the stage. From Phil. 16:45.000 --> 16:49.000 You weren't very good. I know different, baby. 16:49.000 --> 16:53.000 So what if you only played Tank Towns? I sure wish I'd seen you. 16:53.000 --> 16:58.000 You didn't miss much, really. Tank Towns? That was Phil's story, all right. 16:58.000 --> 17:01.000 Miller was Rocky Rhodes. And he was just drunk enough to handle. 17:01.000 --> 17:06.000 Hey, look, how about you and me going up to my room where we can be alone, huh? 17:06.000 --> 17:12.000 That wouldn't look right, Charlie. We could go out and sit in my car. It's in the garage. 17:12.000 --> 17:16.000 Got a heater? And a radio. The hotel radio's broken. 17:16.000 --> 17:19.000 We can say that's why we're going, to listen to the music. 17:19.000 --> 17:37.000 Wonderful. Hey, you're a wonderful little woman, Maggie. Full of ideas. 17:37.000 --> 17:42.000 Ah, not a bad little wagon, baby, but this front seat is so full of steering wheel. 17:42.000 --> 17:45.000 Oh, let's get in the back. Oh, it doesn't heat as well in the back. 17:45.000 --> 17:50.000 How about a drink? You first. OK, right out of the bottle. 17:50.000 --> 18:00.000 Oh, boy, this is what I call living. Music, plenty of bourbon, and a beautiful blonde. 18:00.000 --> 18:08.000 Never saw such a beautiful blonde. Can I give Charlie a kiss? 18:08.000 --> 18:19.000 Oh, wow. Sweet as molasses. It's getting warm enough now, baby. Plenty warm. 18:19.000 --> 18:23.000 Could turn off that heater. I'm still a little cold, Charlie. 18:23.000 --> 18:27.000 Just stay close to me. In a minute, we'll turn it off. 18:27.000 --> 18:34.000 Then slowly he sagged against me, and his head fell on my shoulder. 18:34.000 --> 18:39.000 And when I pushed him away, he fell forward against the steering wheel. 18:39.000 --> 18:45.000 I hope nobody heard that. 18:45.000 --> 18:56.000 I've got to get out of here before it gets me too. 18:56.000 --> 19:04.000 I kept on my feet going around the car. I was dizzy, getting numb. 19:04.000 --> 19:10.000 Then a few feet from the garage door, I keeled over. 19:10.000 --> 19:14.000 For a minute or more, I could move. 19:14.000 --> 19:23.000 Then I crawled toward the door. It took forever to get there. 19:23.000 --> 19:33.000 I opened the door somehow, pushed it shut, and half fell out and lay in the snow. 19:33.000 --> 19:37.000 Breathing the clean air. 19:37.000 --> 19:41.000 Thanking my lucky stars, I've been smart enough not to drink. 19:41.000 --> 19:46.000 That's why it got Charlie sooner, because he was drunk. 19:46.000 --> 19:49.000 I looked at my watch and decided to wait 15 minutes. 19:49.000 --> 19:55.000 What a wonderful thing that carbon monoxide is. No smell, no nothing. 19:55.000 --> 19:57.000 It just creeps up on you. 19:57.000 --> 20:12.000 In 15 minutes, Charlie Miller, alias Rocky Rhodes, would be good and dead. 20:12.000 --> 20:18.000 He was dead all right. When they found us, they carried me into the house and gave me a drink and put me to bed. 20:18.000 --> 20:21.000 I had right to sleep knowing Rocky Rhodes was dead. 20:21.000 --> 20:25.000 When I woke up, I remembered the car key. 20:25.000 --> 20:31.000 I had said Charlie started the car, but somebody might think to check the key for fingerprints and find mine. 20:31.000 --> 20:35.000 I put on a fur coat over my nightgown and ran all the way to the garage. 20:35.000 --> 20:39.000 I got in the car, reached for the keys, and they weren't there. 20:39.000 --> 20:44.000 Why? Why would anybody take my keys? And who would take them? 20:44.000 --> 20:53.000 The Rhodes? No, he was dead. But was he? Had I killed the wrong man? 20:53.000 --> 20:56.000 I don't know how I ever got through breakfast. 20:56.000 --> 21:01.000 That's too bad about Charlie, Margot. Stop worrying about it. It wasn't your fault. 21:01.000 --> 21:04.000 You look tired. You want to take a walk, get some fresh air? 21:04.000 --> 21:06.000 I don't feel up to it. 21:06.000 --> 21:09.000 I was planning to go up to that lookout cabin on the peak. 21:09.000 --> 21:12.000 No, no, no. I'm too lazy for that. I mean a short walk. 21:12.000 --> 21:16.000 Is it a long climb, Mrs. Weatherby? Long and steep, believe me. 21:16.000 --> 21:20.000 I only made it up there once, but my husband used to go there often. 21:20.000 --> 21:24.000 I guess a good climb will do me good. I think I'll try it alone. 21:24.000 --> 21:30.000 Bye. I'll be back before dark. Bye. Be careful, Susan. 21:30.000 --> 21:35.000 I didn't even hear her leave. I was thinking about Phil's walk to the lookout cabin. 21:35.000 --> 21:39.000 There was where he'd hidden the pills. I knew it. I knew it in my bones. 21:39.000 --> 21:43.000 Why hadn't I thought of it before? Oh, I'd have to hurry. 21:43.000 --> 21:46.000 I couldn't let anyone find those pills except me. 21:46.000 --> 21:51.000 I managed to get away from the men and slipped out by the back door without being seen. 21:56.000 --> 21:59.000 A ladder goes up from the trail to the lookout door. 21:59.000 --> 22:01.000 The door of the cabin stood open. 22:01.000 --> 22:07.000 I climbed the ladder quietly and stepped in and saw Susan on the other side of the room near the door to the balcony. 22:07.000 --> 22:12.000 She was holding an envelope attached to a card, and she was reading the card. 22:12.000 --> 22:18.000 And suddenly, definitely, I knew. Miss Rocky Rhodes, I presume. 22:18.000 --> 22:21.000 Oh, you scared me, Mrs. Weatherby. 22:21.000 --> 22:26.000 I see you found what you're looking for. The pills my husband hid. 22:26.000 --> 22:28.000 You want to know if they're really poisonous? 22:28.000 --> 22:31.000 I read this card. Is it some kind of a joke? 22:31.000 --> 22:37.000 Oh, no, it's no joke. One of them would kill a man. But that's not what killed Phil. 22:37.000 --> 22:40.000 I smothered him with a pillow. You didn't know that, did you? 22:40.000 --> 22:43.000 Oh, you shouldn't be telling me this. 22:43.000 --> 22:48.000 Phil told me you were coming, but I was expecting a man. I never dreamed Rocky Rhodes was a woman. 22:48.000 --> 22:50.000 You've mistaken me for someone else. Really? 22:50.000 --> 22:56.000 Oh, come off it. You're already responsible for Charlie Miller's death, coming here under an assumed name. 22:56.000 --> 22:58.000 I killed him because I thought he was Rocky Rhodes. 22:58.000 --> 23:04.000 You killed him? Oh, no, you didn't. Oh, you're ill, Mrs. Weatherby. You're imagining things. 23:04.000 --> 23:08.000 Stay where you are! You think you'll get out of here alive? 23:08.000 --> 23:11.000 I wouldn't go out that door if I were you. You'd step right off into blank space. 23:11.000 --> 23:13.000 But you can't do these things. They'll catch us. 23:13.000 --> 23:20.000 Who? How? Those pills are the only evidence against me, and I'll destroy them as soon as you're gone. 23:20.000 --> 23:21.000 Will you? 23:21.000 --> 23:27.000 Stop! Stay where you are! You fool! What good does that do you, throwing them out? 23:27.000 --> 23:33.000 Watch where they fall. There, right on the path. They'll stay there until I go down. 23:33.000 --> 23:38.000 But you played your last card. I'm not going to waste any more time. 23:38.000 --> 23:40.000 Let go, Mrs. Weatherby! Let go! 23:40.000 --> 23:45.000 You're going over the edge, Susie! You're going to be another tragic accident! 23:45.000 --> 23:46.000 No! 23:46.000 --> 23:48.000 Let go of that table, you fool! 23:51.000 --> 23:56.000 Inch by inch we're getting there. Now! Out on the porch! 23:56.000 --> 24:00.000 I'll pull you over with me! Will you? Will you really? 24:00.000 --> 24:05.000 Someone's coming! Someone's coming in the trail! It's Mike! 24:05.000 --> 24:06.000 You're crazy! 24:06.000 --> 24:07.000 Mike! 24:07.000 --> 24:09.000 Let go of that table! Let go! 24:09.000 --> 24:27.000 Stop him! Stop him! 24:27.000 --> 24:41.000 I remember falling. Falling, then a sharp pain. Then I don't remember anymore until I woke up here in the snow and found you bending over me. 24:41.000 --> 24:44.000 Who are you? Where did you come from? 24:44.000 --> 24:48.000 I just came up from the village, Mrs. Weatherby. We know the whole story. 24:48.000 --> 24:49.000 The whole story? 24:49.000 --> 24:52.000 Now just take it easy, Mrs. Weatherby. 24:52.000 --> 25:00.000 I know. You must be a doctor. But doctors, they'll never hang me. 25:00.000 --> 25:06.000 No, Mrs. Weatherby. They'll never hang you. You're dying now. 25:06.000 --> 25:15.000 No. No, I can't die. After all I've had to do to live. Where did Mike go? 25:15.000 --> 25:17.000 I'm right here, Mrs. Weatherby. 25:17.000 --> 25:23.000 Like a vulture waiting for me to die. You're Rocky Rhodes, aren't you, Mike? 25:23.000 --> 25:25.000 No, Mrs. Weatherby. 25:25.000 --> 25:37.000 You're lying. It has to be you. I killed Charlie and he wasn't Rocky Rhodes. And Susan wasn't. You have to be. I have to know. I have to kill Rocky or I've done it all for nothing. 25:37.000 --> 25:40.000 Rocky Rhodes mustn't find those poison pills. 25:40.000 --> 25:46.000 Your husband didn't die from poison, Mrs. Weatherby. So you would have been safe even if the pills were found. 25:46.000 --> 25:49.000 But, but, Rocky Rhodes. 25:49.000 --> 25:55.000 None of those people was Rocky Rhodes. Your own guilt made you suspicious of everything they did. 25:55.000 --> 26:06.000 There must be a Rocky Rhodes. Phil said there was. There has to be a Rocky. 26:06.000 --> 26:10.000 Oh. 26:10.000 --> 26:12.000 Is she dead, Doctor? 26:12.000 --> 26:14.000 I'm afraid she is. 26:14.000 --> 26:18.000 There I was being sorry for her husband being dead. 26:18.000 --> 26:26.000 Just think. She killed her husband and one of us and none of us would ever have known it if she hadn't told Susan all about it in my cabin. 26:26.000 --> 26:28.000 It was good of you to get here so fast, Doctor. 26:28.000 --> 26:34.000 I'd have gotten here sooner if it hadn't been for the blizzard. Maybe none of this would have happened. 26:34.000 --> 26:55.000 By the way, I'm not a doctor, Mr. Sheldon. My name is Rhodes. Rocky Rhodes. 26:55.000 --> 26:58.000 Thank you, Jane Wyman, for a splendid performance. 26:58.000 --> 27:00.000 Miss Wyman, would you do me a favor? 27:00.000 --> 27:01.000 I'd be glad to, Mr. Wilcox. 27:01.000 --> 27:03.000 Would you autograph my script? 27:03.000 --> 27:05.000 Why, certainly. What shall I write? 27:05.000 --> 27:09.000 Well, why not just write to ALRSP Wilcox from Jane Wyman. 27:09.000 --> 27:12.000 ALRSP? What does that stand for? 27:12.000 --> 27:14.000 Auto Light Resistor Spark Plugs. 27:14.000 --> 27:17.000 Oh, of course. I should have known. A plug for plugs. 27:17.000 --> 27:18.000 Why, sure. 27:18.000 --> 27:22.000 Well, ALRSP it is. There. How's that? 27:22.000 --> 27:32.000 Thank you.
