00:00.000 --> 00:04.700
You are about to hear a story suggested by actual events.

00:04.700 --> 00:10.300
So that no innocent person shall suffer, names and places have been changed.

00:15.300 --> 00:22.800
A whole light and its 96,000 dealers bring you a story from the front pages of our great metropolitan newspapers.

00:22.800 --> 00:25.800
A story taken from life.

00:25.800 --> 00:28.000
Tonight's presentation of...

00:28.000 --> 00:30.000
Suspense!

00:34.000 --> 00:38.000
Tonight, Autolite presents the case for Dr. Singer.

00:38.000 --> 00:42.000
A story about atomic spies in the United States today.

00:42.000 --> 00:44.000
How they operate.

00:44.000 --> 00:46.000
How they are caught.

00:50.000 --> 00:51.500
Hi, uh, Hap.

00:51.500 --> 00:53.000
So long, Harlow.

00:53.000 --> 00:56.000
So long? You haven't even said hello yet.

00:56.000 --> 00:58.500
This is our last show till fall, isn't it?

00:58.500 --> 00:59.500
Sure is, Hap.

00:59.500 --> 01:04.000
And that means we won't have a chance to talk about that great Autolite Stay Full Battery.

01:04.000 --> 01:08.000
The battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

01:08.000 --> 01:09.500
Until after our vacation.

01:09.500 --> 01:17.500
Harlow, if folks don't know by now that the Autolite Stay Full Battery is Tops' independability, convenience and long life...

01:17.500 --> 01:19.000
Then I give up.

01:19.000 --> 01:24.500
Well, no need to give up, Hap, because the Autolite Stay Full is famous from coast to coast.

01:24.500 --> 01:31.000
Car owners everywhere know it has over three times the liquid reserve of batteries without Stay Full features.

01:31.000 --> 01:34.500
And needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

01:34.500 --> 01:36.500
My neighbor bought one just the other day.

01:36.500 --> 01:41.500
Car owners know too that fiberglass retaining mats protect every positive plate...

01:41.500 --> 01:46.000
To prevent shedding and flaking and give the Autolite Stay Full longer life...

01:46.000 --> 01:50.000
As proved by tests conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.

01:50.000 --> 01:53.500
Well, that's mighty important news for every car owner, Harlow.

01:53.500 --> 01:54.500
It sure is, Hap.

01:54.500 --> 01:59.000
So, friends, take a tip from me and see your neighborhood Autolite Battery dealer soon.

01:59.000 --> 02:01.500
Ask him for an Autolite Stay Full.

02:01.500 --> 02:06.500
The battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

02:06.500 --> 02:12.500
You'll be sure of the best because you're always right with Autolite.

02:12.500 --> 02:16.000
And now, with the case for Dr. Singer...

02:16.000 --> 02:19.500
Autolite hopes once again to keep you in...

02:19.500 --> 02:23.500
Suspense!

02:25.500 --> 02:28.500
Minus 30.

02:31.500 --> 02:33.500
Minus 25.

02:33.500 --> 02:36.500
Wednesday, May 15th, 1951.

02:36.500 --> 02:38.500
Minus 20.

02:38.500 --> 02:42.500
Early morning. Six men watch and wait.

02:42.500 --> 02:45.500
Minus 15.

02:45.500 --> 02:48.500
Minus 10.

02:51.500 --> 02:54.500
Minus 5.

02:54.500 --> 03:13.500
Minus 5. Zero.

03:24.500 --> 03:27.500
Congratulations, gentlemen.

03:27.500 --> 03:31.500
I suggest we have some coffee.

03:38.500 --> 03:45.500
May 16th, 1951. Confidential to Major General Carl Buscher, Atomic Energy Commission.

03:45.500 --> 03:51.500
From Professor Leland R. Young regarding Thermonuclear H-21.

03:51.500 --> 03:58.500
At 6.30 a.m., May 15th, H-23 was successfully detonated without the use of U-235.

03:58.500 --> 04:03.500
Enclosed herewith, technical data compiled after explosion.

04:03.500 --> 04:07.500
Complete destruction up to 10 miles.

04:14.500 --> 04:17.500
The most powerful weapon yet discovered.

04:17.500 --> 04:22.500
Complete destruction up to 10 miles and set off without the use of the A-bomb.

04:22.500 --> 04:26.500
Thermonuclear H-23 is top secret.

04:26.500 --> 04:30.500
This is the story, not certainly of the development of H-23...

04:30.500 --> 04:35.500
But of the fact that it still remains top secret.

04:35.500 --> 04:42.500
January 3rd, 1951. Confidential to Headquarters Military Intelligence Washington, D.C.

04:42.500 --> 04:44.500
From American Embassy, Switzerland.

04:44.500 --> 04:47.500
This morning a man was shot as he entered the building.

04:47.500 --> 04:52.500
Before he lost consciousness, he identified himself as Dr. Rudolf Elman.

04:52.500 --> 04:56.500
He was taken to the hospital where his condition has been confirmed.

04:56.500 --> 04:59.500
He is now in the hospital.

04:59.500 --> 05:06.500
After his death, he was taken to the hospital where his condition has been reported critical.

05:06.500 --> 05:08.500
Nurse.

05:08.500 --> 05:09.500
Yes?

05:09.500 --> 05:13.500
I am Colonel Mishakov. I wish to see Mr. Farnsworth, the American Consul.

05:13.500 --> 05:15.500
Oh, just one moment.

05:15.500 --> 05:16.500
Doctor?

05:16.500 --> 05:17.500
Yes?

05:17.500 --> 05:20.500
I am Colonel Mishakov. I wish to see Mr. Farnsworth.

05:20.500 --> 05:21.500
Well, he's...

05:21.500 --> 05:25.500
You have a man here who has identified himself as Dr. Rudolf Elman.

05:25.500 --> 05:27.500
Yes, we have.

05:27.500 --> 05:30.500
His real name is Voroshin. He's an escaped convict.

05:30.500 --> 05:33.500
And I have orders from my government to take him into custody.

05:33.500 --> 05:34.500
Dr. Elman?

05:34.500 --> 05:37.500
No, he's not a doctor. His name is Voroshin. He is an escaped...

05:37.500 --> 05:40.500
Tell whoever he is. He's dying.

05:40.500 --> 05:44.500
Doctor, I am here representing my country. I have authority in this...

05:44.500 --> 05:47.500
Colonel Mishakov, you have no authority in this hospital.

05:47.500 --> 05:52.500
If you wish to see the patient, I would suggest you obtain permission from the Chief of Staff.

05:52.500 --> 05:53.500
I see.

05:53.500 --> 05:54.500
Now, if you will excuse me.

05:54.500 --> 05:55.500
Doctor?

05:55.500 --> 05:56.500
Yes?

05:56.500 --> 05:59.500
I presume Mr. Farnsworth obtained permission.

05:59.500 --> 06:02.500
He did. Good day, Colonel. Nurse?

06:02.500 --> 06:04.500
Yes, Doctor.

06:07.500 --> 06:12.500
Turbo nuclear weapons. I discovered the plan a week ago.

06:12.500 --> 06:13.500
And was...

06:13.500 --> 06:14.500
Mr. Farnsworth.

06:14.500 --> 06:15.500
Yes?

06:15.500 --> 06:16.500
Colonel Mishakov.

06:16.500 --> 06:18.500
Oh, no. He's here?

06:18.500 --> 06:22.500
I just spoke to him in the hall. I sent him to the Staff Chief for permission.

06:22.500 --> 06:24.500
Did he know I was here?

06:24.500 --> 06:25.500
Yes.

06:25.500 --> 06:26.500
Doctor!

06:29.500 --> 06:30.500
Colonel.

06:33.500 --> 06:34.500
Doctor?

06:35.500 --> 06:36.500
He's dead.

06:45.500 --> 06:48.500
To Headquarters Military Intelligence, Washington, D.C.

06:48.500 --> 06:52.500
From Henry W. Farnsworth, American Embassy, Switzerland.

06:52.500 --> 06:56.500
Dr. Rudolf Elman died here at 5.50 p.m. this day.

06:56.500 --> 07:00.500
Obtained statement of great importance if deceased is really Elman.

07:00.500 --> 07:05.500
Soviet government claims he is Alexander Voroshin, escaped convict and citizen of USSR.

07:05.500 --> 07:07.500
Please advise.

07:17.500 --> 07:18.500
Yes?

07:18.500 --> 07:19.500
Dr. Singer?

07:19.500 --> 07:20.500
Yes?

07:20.500 --> 07:22.500
Dr. Young, would you please come up to security?

07:22.500 --> 07:23.500
Certainly.

07:29.500 --> 07:33.500
Well, George, I've got these run downs on the pile.

07:33.500 --> 07:37.500
Wonderful, wonderful. I've got to go up to security. I'll go with you as soon as I'm finished.

07:37.500 --> 07:39.500
Still going to play poker tonight?

07:39.500 --> 07:42.500
Wouldn't miss it. I'll give you a buzz when I'm through.

07:42.500 --> 07:43.500
All right.

07:43.500 --> 07:48.500
Come in, Doctor. Dr. Singer, this is Mr. Whiteside and General Busher.

07:48.500 --> 07:50.500
I know the general. How are you, sir?

07:50.500 --> 07:51.500
Just fine, Doctor.

07:51.500 --> 07:52.500
Mr. Whiteside, how do you do?

07:52.500 --> 07:53.500
How do you do, Doctor?

07:53.500 --> 07:54.500
Sit down, George.

07:54.500 --> 07:55.500
Thank you.

07:55.500 --> 07:57.500
Mr. Whiteside is from the FBI.

07:57.500 --> 07:58.500
Oh?

07:58.500 --> 08:00.500
Did you know a Dr. Elman?

08:00.500 --> 08:01.500
Rudolf Elman?

08:01.500 --> 08:02.500
Yes.

08:02.500 --> 08:04.500
Very well. I studied under him in Germany.

08:05.500 --> 08:08.500
Here's a picture. Is this the man you knew?

08:08.500 --> 08:10.500
Well, I don't know.

08:10.500 --> 08:14.500
Yes. Much thinner. But this is Dr. Elman.

08:14.500 --> 08:17.500
We taught at the same university. He's dead.

08:17.500 --> 08:18.500
When did he die?

08:18.500 --> 08:19.500
During the war.

08:19.500 --> 08:21.500
This man died four days ago.

08:21.500 --> 08:25.500
And this is not Dr. Elman. He was killed by the Nazis trying to escape from Germany.

08:25.500 --> 08:28.500
This man was shot in front of the American Embassy in Switzerland.

08:28.500 --> 08:33.500
We've known for some time that Dr. Elman was a prisoner in Siberia working on thermonuclear weapons.

08:33.500 --> 08:35.500
How are your experiments coming, Doctor?

08:35.500 --> 08:37.500
I'm afraid that's confidential.

08:37.500 --> 08:41.500
Even to you. Elman knew just about how far you'd progress.

08:41.500 --> 08:42.500
That's impossible.

08:42.500 --> 08:45.500
This is a portion of his testimony recorded just before he died.

08:45.500 --> 08:49.500
It was sent to us by Farnsworth at the American Embassy in Switzerland.

08:49.500 --> 08:51.500
Sure this man was Elman?

08:51.500 --> 08:53.500
Elman was a brilliant physicist, was he not, Doctor?

08:53.500 --> 08:54.500
Extremely brilliant.

08:54.500 --> 08:59.500
If information concerning your work here was smuggled out, he would be capable of understanding it.

08:59.500 --> 09:03.500
Elman would not only be capable, but extremely useful.

09:03.500 --> 09:07.500
General, are you suggesting that someone on my staff...

09:07.500 --> 09:12.500
I suggest you read Elman's statement concerning your work here on thermonuclear weapons.

09:15.500 --> 09:17.500
Good grief.

09:17.500 --> 09:19.500
Professor Young.

09:19.500 --> 09:20.500
I've read it, George.

09:20.500 --> 09:24.500
But this shows knowledge of our progress as late as a month ago.

09:24.500 --> 09:25.500
Is it accurate?

09:25.500 --> 09:28.500
Extremely. Lacking in a few details.

09:28.500 --> 09:33.500
Elman was dying.

09:28.500 --> 09:33.500
Extremely accurate. What does this mean, sir?

09:33.500 --> 09:36.500
It means that someone working on H-23 is acting as a spy.

09:36.500 --> 09:38.500
But who?

09:38.500 --> 09:43.500
Myself, Professor Young, and four others are the only ones who could possibly have access to this kind of information.

09:43.500 --> 09:48.500
Elman knew that you were close to what he calls in his statement the most powerful weapon of our times.

09:48.500 --> 09:50.500
His exact quote is...

09:50.500 --> 09:58.500
The one weapon that might mean the difference between peace or total destruction.

09:58.500 --> 10:02.500
He escaped to let us know that someone is passing on this information.

10:02.500 --> 10:04.500
Do you know who it is?

10:04.500 --> 10:07.500
No. Professor Young said the same thing you did.

10:07.500 --> 10:09.500
It has to be one of six men.

10:09.500 --> 10:17.500
Professor Young, yourself, Doctor, Dr. Mitchell, Dr. Evans, and your assistants, Mr. Bromwell or Mr. Collings.

10:17.500 --> 10:21.500
I can't believe it. These men are all trusted.

10:21.500 --> 10:24.500
So was Klaus Fuchs. Completely trusted.

10:24.500 --> 10:26.500
Seems impossible.

10:26.500 --> 10:27.500
We have to find him.

10:27.500 --> 10:33.500
If you don't know who he is, don't you think it's a little dangerous to confide in me?

10:33.500 --> 10:35.500
After all, I might be the one.

10:35.500 --> 10:38.500
You might be. But that's all been discussed.

10:38.500 --> 10:43.500
If we're going to find this man, someone, one of the five men working on your experiment has to help.

10:43.500 --> 10:46.500
We can't send in an outsider. Our man would get suspicious.

10:46.500 --> 10:50.500
Professor Young has to be notified. He's in charge of this plan.

10:50.500 --> 10:55.500
But we still need one of the men actually working on the project. Professor Young's only been supervising.

10:55.500 --> 10:56.500
We picked you.

10:56.500 --> 10:57.500
Why?

10:57.500 --> 10:58.500
Past record.

10:58.500 --> 11:00.500
My colleagues have records, equally as trustworthy.

11:00.500 --> 11:01.500
We know all the records, Doctor.

11:01.500 --> 11:03.500
And I know these men I work with, Mr. Whiteside.

11:03.500 --> 11:07.500
Then perhaps you'll be able to find out which one is a traitor.

11:07.500 --> 11:11.500
I don't know. I repeat, what if I'm the traitor?

11:11.500 --> 11:19.500
Then I don't think you'd be foolish enough to continue sending information. And if the information doesn't continue to leave the country, we've accomplished two things.

11:19.500 --> 11:23.500
We've kept the project a secret, and we've found out that our man is on to us.

11:23.500 --> 11:26.500
Yes. Yes, I suppose that's right.

11:26.500 --> 11:33.500
If they steal H-23 from us, well, is there anything else?

11:33.500 --> 11:34.500
I think we've covered everything.

11:34.500 --> 11:39.500
Come on, George, I'll buy us a drink. Nothing else for me at the moment, is it, General?

11:39.500 --> 11:41.500
No. Nice to see you again, Dr. Singer.

11:41.500 --> 11:44.500
Thank you, General.

11:44.500 --> 11:48.500
Oh, I imagine I'll see you again, Mr. Whiteside.

11:48.500 --> 11:50.500
I imagine so, Doctor.

11:50.500 --> 11:53.500
Yes, of course.

11:53.500 --> 11:56.500
What do you think, Whiteside?

11:56.500 --> 11:57.500
About Singer?

11:57.500 --> 11:58.500
Yeah.

11:58.500 --> 12:03.500
I'm interested in him, General. It might help if we get to know a bit more about him.

12:03.500 --> 12:04.500
He's the man?

12:04.500 --> 12:09.500
I don't know. That's what we've got to find out.

12:09.500 --> 12:31.500
Auto Light is bringing you the case for Dr. Singer, tonight's production in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense.

12:40.500 --> 12:44.500
Say, Harlow, what are you going to do on your vacation?

12:44.500 --> 12:52.500
Why, Hap, as an advocate of the Auto Light Stayful battery, the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use,

12:52.500 --> 13:02.500
I'm going to advise all car owners to adopt that adept, adaptable, and amazing actuator of abundant and dependable starts.

13:02.500 --> 13:04.500
Always in there pitching, eh, Harlow?

13:04.500 --> 13:10.500
You said it, Hap, and it's all because the Auto Light Stayful offers greater convenience and longer life.

13:10.500 --> 13:11.500
Greater convenience?

13:11.500 --> 13:18.500
Sure, Hap, because the Auto Light Stayful has over three times the liquid reserve of batteries without Stayful features.

13:18.500 --> 13:21.500
That's why it needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

13:21.500 --> 13:23.500
Longer life, too, Harlow.

13:23.500 --> 13:31.500
Right you are, Hap, because life-insuring fiberglass retaining mats protect every positive plate to prevent shedding and flaking,

13:31.500 --> 13:38.500
and give the Auto Light Stayful longer life as proven by tests conducted according to accepted life-cycle standards.

13:38.500 --> 13:41.500
Well, I'll see you next August, Harlow.

13:41.500 --> 13:46.500
So long, Hap, and friends. Before you start your vacation, see your Auto Light battery dealer.

13:46.500 --> 13:53.500
He's the expert on battery advice and service. Ask him for an Auto Light Stayful battery.

13:53.500 --> 13:57.500
And remember, you're always right with Auto Light.

13:57.500 --> 14:06.500
And now, Auto Light returns you to our Hollywood soundstage and Elliot Lewis's production of The Case for Dr. Singer,

14:06.500 --> 14:12.500
a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

14:12.500 --> 14:27.500
Confidential from Special Agent Whiteside to Division 33 Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D.C.

14:27.500 --> 14:36.500
Talked with Dr. Singer, and he has agreed to proceed as planned. Advise Charlie.

14:36.500 --> 14:44.500
Hi, Charlie. Hi, Benny. Sit down. Have a beer. Thanks. Been waiting long? Nah, about five minutes.

14:44.500 --> 14:50.500
How's Margie? Okay. Had the flu. One of the kids got it now. Don't you know I got to get it sooner or later?

14:50.500 --> 14:57.500
I had it. It's miserable. How's business? We got us three tons of whitefish yesterday with the price of...

14:57.500 --> 15:02.500
What do you have, boys? Benny? Beer. Just beer. Two beers. All right.

15:02.500 --> 15:07.500
Fish been running just great. The day before yesterday, we rolled in with over four tons.

15:07.500 --> 15:14.500
How's your business? Fine. We had two men on all of them. Apartment's bugged, 24-hour stay-cut.

15:14.500 --> 15:20.500
What about Singer? So far, nothing. He works right with them. Maybe... I don't know.

15:20.500 --> 15:27.500
Checking up them so far, they all look pretty clean. Sure. Boy, we want smart. If it is Singer, smart as they come.

15:27.500 --> 15:36.500
I'll give you a port of... Hold it. Two beers. 50 cents.

15:40.500 --> 15:47.500
Well, cheers. Yeah. And good luck. Hope your next catch is the biggest yet.

15:47.500 --> 15:53.600
The

15:54.500 --> 15:59.500
confidential to Major General Carl Buscher, Atomic Energy Commission, Washington.

15:59.500 --> 16:05.500
From Professor Leland R. Young, regarding thermonuclear H-23.

16:05.500 --> 16:10.500
Dr. Singer has informed me that H-23 experiments are proceeding on schedule.

16:10.500 --> 16:14.500
With luck, completion should be possible within the month.

16:14.500 --> 16:19.500
Singer has nothing else to report in regard to our previous discussion.

16:21.500 --> 16:27.500
Evans. Just a minute. Here. Here's a chart on the fission yield.

16:27.500 --> 16:33.500
Certainly checks. 21 trillion calories. Oh, we're close. Now eliminate the carbon.

16:33.500 --> 16:40.500
How's Bromwell doing? He's tired. You look tired, Singer. A little.

16:40.500 --> 16:44.500
Something wrong? No, no, no, no. I want to see how Bromwell's doing.

16:44.500 --> 16:48.500
Don't forget poker tonight. No, I won't.

16:48.500 --> 16:54.500
Bromwell? Eh? Oh, hello, Singer.

16:54.500 --> 16:59.500
I'm still too low. How low? 3,600,000.

16:59.500 --> 17:05.500
I've got to go back. I had HO4 as high as 19 million. What was the reaction time?

17:05.500 --> 17:11.500
Well, it was pretty close. To 100,000. Very close. I think we should talk it over.

17:11.500 --> 17:14.500
Evans just finished his fission yield. 21 trillion.

17:14.500 --> 17:18.500
I guess I am holding things up. You've got the hardest job.

17:18.500 --> 17:24.500
Mitch and Collins are down at the reactor pile. Let's get them and talk.

17:24.500 --> 17:28.500
Yes? Vinnie? Yeah.

17:28.500 --> 17:34.500
Charlie, I've got something I'd like you to hear. All right.

17:34.500 --> 17:38.500
I'll see you at the office in an hour.

17:45.500 --> 17:49.500
I'll raise it. Look out, Singer.

17:49.500 --> 17:54.500
You know, I don't think he has them. I don't know. He's had them all night.

17:54.500 --> 17:57.500
Excuse me, Collin. No, it's all right.

17:57.500 --> 18:00.500
What you boys have to do is put up some money to find out.

18:00.500 --> 18:05.500
All right. I'll just call. Brother, I admire you. You're very kind.

18:05.500 --> 18:09.500
I haven't won a hand in the last two hours. I'll just let you be the hero.

18:09.500 --> 18:12.500
Let's see him. Full house. Aces in trade.

18:12.500 --> 18:14.500
What I can tell you, I knew he had it.

18:14.500 --> 18:19.500
A credit your pot. Well, here, Moulton.

18:19.500 --> 18:22.500
Heavens, you are without a doubt the luckiest.

18:22.500 --> 18:25.500
Played poker for another hour and went home. Nothing unusual.

18:25.500 --> 18:29.500
Want a cigarette? Yeah.

18:29.500 --> 18:32.500
Thanks.

18:34.500 --> 18:37.500
Still no lead. Boy, I tell you...

18:37.500 --> 18:40.500
If it is Singer, he's real careful. Yeah, something new.

18:40.500 --> 18:42.500
Got word from the other side today.

18:42.500 --> 18:45.500
Counterintelligence. Our boys say the Russians haven't had any message

18:45.500 --> 18:48.500
in the progress of the bomb for a couple of weeks now.

18:48.500 --> 18:50.500
They're worried. They're worried.

18:50.500 --> 18:53.500
If we only had one lead... We will have.

18:53.500 --> 18:55.500
The minute they finish their experiment.

18:55.500 --> 18:58.500
Someone's going to have to make his contact then.

18:58.500 --> 19:02.500
Well, if it's Singer or any of those men, we'll get him.

19:02.500 --> 19:12.500
I'm even having their mothers-in-law watched.

19:15.500 --> 19:20.500
92,238 plus neutron. 92,239 plus gamma radiation.

19:20.500 --> 19:25.500
92,239 decays to 93 neptunium. 239 plus beta electron.

19:25.500 --> 19:28.500
23 minutes. Check.

19:28.500 --> 19:33.500
93 neptunium, 230,90 Ks to 94,139...

19:33.500 --> 19:36.500
Come here. Evans, come here.

19:36.500 --> 19:39.500
Mitchell, Collins.

19:39.500 --> 19:41.500
What is it?

19:41.500 --> 19:44.500
I've got it. I think I've got it.

19:44.500 --> 19:48.500
Carbon is completely isolated.

19:48.500 --> 19:51.500
Well, look. Look for yourself.

19:51.500 --> 19:55.500
Hmm. Oh, yes. Yes.

19:55.500 --> 19:58.500
Let me see. Yes, here, Collins.

19:58.500 --> 20:01.500
Well, this is it.

20:01.500 --> 20:03.500
Congratulations, Bramwell.

20:03.500 --> 20:05.500
Congratulations, Bramming.

20:05.500 --> 20:08.500
Well, gentlemen, H-23 is no longer theory.

20:08.500 --> 20:12.500
We can now begin to assemble the first one.

20:21.500 --> 20:24.500
Confidential. Two Major General Carl Busch,

20:24.500 --> 20:27.500
from the State Energy Commission, Washington,

20:27.500 --> 20:30.500
from Special Agent Whiteside, Federal Bureau of Investigation.

20:30.500 --> 20:33.500
Regarding conclusion of H-23 experiments,

20:33.500 --> 20:37.500
counterintelligence has informed us that the Russians are in possession of the news of the same.

20:37.500 --> 20:41.500
They have not yet obtained details.

20:48.500 --> 20:50.500
How could it get out? How?

20:50.500 --> 20:52.500
I don't know, General.

20:52.500 --> 20:54.500
Every second, I don't know.

20:54.500 --> 20:57.500
I know what they did better than they do. Every one of them. They're clean.

20:57.500 --> 21:00.500
Let's stop kidding ourselves. Somebody's not clean.

21:00.500 --> 21:02.500
The experiment was licked four days ago.

21:02.500 --> 21:05.500
Professor Young says they're working now to assemble the bomb.

21:05.500 --> 21:09.500
Then what do we do? Send the details by courier to the Russians?

21:09.500 --> 21:11.500
We might as well. We still have some time.

21:11.500 --> 21:13.500
What about Singer? I don't know.

21:13.500 --> 21:14.500
And Charlie? Yeah.

21:14.500 --> 21:17.500
Got those reports? Yeah.

21:17.500 --> 21:19.500
Well, let's go through them again.

21:19.500 --> 21:23.500
Well, these are a survey of the movements of every man on that experiment.

21:23.500 --> 21:27.500
We'll pick up with the report starting four days ago. Go ahead, Charlie.

21:27.500 --> 21:29.500
Okay.

21:29.500 --> 21:34.500
Professor Young, March 15th, 8.30 a.m., escorted to lab. No contacts.

21:34.500 --> 21:37.500
12 noon, in company with Singer, Bromwell and Evans. Went to lunch. No contacts.

21:37.500 --> 21:39.500
Wait a minute. What about the waiter?

21:39.500 --> 21:41.500
He's clear. We've already checked that.

21:41.500 --> 21:42.500
All right. Go on.

21:42.500 --> 21:45.500
1 p.m., returned to lab. No contacts.

21:45.500 --> 21:47.500
5.30 p.m., escorted home. No contacts.

21:47.500 --> 21:49.500
8 p.m., doctor and Mrs. Singer arrived.

21:49.500 --> 21:52.500
Stayed until 11 p.m., returned home. Retired.

21:52.500 --> 21:56.500
Dr. Evans, March 15th, 8.30 a.m., escorted to lab. No contacts.

21:56.500 --> 21:59.500
12 noon, in company with Singer, Bromwell and Young. Went to lunch. No contacts.

21:59.500 --> 22:01.500
Same waiter, General.

22:01.500 --> 22:03.500
1 p.m., returned to lab. No contacts.

22:03.500 --> 22:06.500
5.30 p.m., escorted home. No contacts.

22:06.500 --> 22:08.500
7.30 p.m., called Dr. Singer.

22:08.500 --> 22:20.500
Asked him if he could play poker that night. Dr. Singer declined.

22:20.500 --> 22:23.500
5 p.m., Singer escorted to doctor's office for checkup.

22:23.500 --> 22:24.500
Sign is troubled.

22:24.500 --> 22:26.500
5.30 p.m., escorted home. No contacts.

22:26.500 --> 22:29.500
Remained in house rest of night.

22:29.500 --> 22:33.500
Okay. Now, this is the 16th. Start with Mr. Collings.

22:33.500 --> 22:36.500
8.30, escorted to lab. No contacts.

22:36.500 --> 22:38.500
12 noon, lunch with Agent Dietrichen.

22:38.500 --> 22:42.500
12.30, half hour appointments with dentist as scheduled. Cavity.

22:42.500 --> 22:44.500
1.15, escorted back to lab. No contacts.

22:44.500 --> 22:45.500
Wait a minute.

22:45.500 --> 22:46.500
Yeah?

22:46.500 --> 22:48.500
Look, it might be nothing, but it's worth a try.

22:48.500 --> 22:50.500
I want every man on that experiment examined.

22:50.500 --> 22:51.500
What for?

22:51.500 --> 22:53.500
A complete medical general. The works.

22:53.500 --> 22:54.500
Professor Young?

22:54.500 --> 23:04.500
Young, Singer, Evans, Collings, all of them. And today, no explanations.

23:04.500 --> 23:09.500
Confidential. From Special Agent Whiteside to Major General Carl Buscher.

23:09.500 --> 23:24.500
Examination's completed and proceeding as planned. We should know in a day or two.

23:24.500 --> 23:25.500
Anything yet?

23:25.500 --> 23:29.500
Hmm? Oh, Benny. No, no, nothing. He's alone in his office.

23:29.500 --> 23:30.500
When did you plant the mic?

23:30.500 --> 23:34.500
Early this morning. Superintendent let me in. It's in the cabinet.

23:34.500 --> 23:35.500
Put the phones on.

23:35.500 --> 23:36.500
Yeah.

23:36.500 --> 23:39.500
Suppose he doesn't show up?

23:39.500 --> 23:41.500
Then we'll try the others.

23:41.500 --> 23:42.500
Hold it.

23:42.500 --> 23:44.500
Mr. Collings is here, Doctor.

23:44.500 --> 23:47.500
Oh, lucky you caught me, Mr. Collings. I was going out for lunch.

23:47.500 --> 23:49.500
I'm certainly glad I could get around.

23:49.500 --> 23:50.500
Is it bothering you?

23:50.500 --> 23:51.500
A little.

23:51.500 --> 23:55.500
Shouldn't have been neglected. Just get up in the chair. I'll have a look at it.

23:55.500 --> 24:00.500
You've been giving me a little trouble the last week.

24:00.500 --> 24:03.500
We should have seen to it your last visit.

24:03.500 --> 24:10.500
Bad enough. Certainly have to fill it this time. I'll just get some Novacaine.

24:10.500 --> 24:11.500
How's work?

24:11.500 --> 24:16.500
Tires. Just open your mouth as far as you can.

24:16.500 --> 24:17.500
Way open.

24:17.500 --> 24:22.500
That's it. There. That'll be all, Nurse. You might as well get your lunch.

24:22.500 --> 24:23.500
Thank you, Doctor.

24:23.500 --> 24:26.500
You should have really taken care of this long before now.

24:26.500 --> 24:30.500
Couldn't help it. Haven't had a moment to myself. Nearly three months.

24:30.500 --> 24:32.500
Thought I could let it go and do work later.

24:32.500 --> 24:33.500
Numb yet?

24:33.500 --> 24:40.500
Getting numb.

24:40.500 --> 24:41.500
What do you have for me?

24:41.500 --> 24:42.500
Ramos formula.

24:42.500 --> 24:44.500
Can you get detailed sketches on the weapon when it's finished?

24:44.500 --> 24:46.500
No. It's been too dangerous. I can't take a chance.

24:46.500 --> 24:47.500
I want the plan.

24:47.500 --> 24:49.500
No. This is all. It's too dangerous.

24:49.500 --> 24:51.500
All right. Give me what you have.

24:51.500 --> 24:53.500
$3,000.

24:53.500 --> 25:03.500
Of course.

25:03.500 --> 25:06.500
Here you are. And here you are.

25:06.500 --> 25:14.500
That's it. That's the man we want. Come on, Charlie.

25:14.500 --> 25:16.500
Is that the only door out of the office?

25:16.500 --> 25:21.500
Either of those doors. The only way.

25:21.500 --> 25:22.500
Well, thank you, Doctor.

25:22.500 --> 25:24.500
Take some aspirin if it bothers you.

25:24.500 --> 25:25.500
Get the dentist.

25:25.500 --> 25:31.500
Right.

25:31.500 --> 25:32.500
Mr. Carlings.

25:32.500 --> 25:34.500
Hmm? Oh, yes?

25:34.500 --> 25:50.500
Whiteside, Federal Bureau of Investigation. You're under arrest.

25:50.500 --> 25:51.500
I can't believe it.

25:51.500 --> 25:56.500
Neither can I, Professor Young. Carlings. For $3,000.

25:56.500 --> 25:58.500
He had to work quickly, I guess, after that medical.

25:58.500 --> 26:02.500
I hired him, trained him. He was a student of mine ten years ago.

26:02.500 --> 26:04.500
How did it work, Mr. Whiteside?

26:04.500 --> 26:05.500
It was a chance, Professor Young.

26:05.500 --> 26:07.500
Carlings had paid three or four visits to that dentist,

26:07.500 --> 26:12.500
complaining of several cavities, just as Dr. Singer complained of sinusitis

26:12.500 --> 26:14.500
and Dr. Evans of recurrent insomnia.

26:14.500 --> 26:17.500
However, when we had all of you men examined by medical men

26:17.500 --> 26:20.500
attached to this experiment, we discovered Mr. Carlings' teeth

26:20.500 --> 26:24.500
to be in perfect condition. Work done on a healthy mouth.

26:24.500 --> 26:25.500
If it hadn't been for Elman...

26:25.500 --> 26:30.500
Elman gave his life to tell us how much Russia knew of our thermonuclear research.

26:30.500 --> 26:32.500
You thought it was me, didn't you?

26:32.500 --> 26:34.500
Yes, Dr. Singer, for a while.

26:34.500 --> 26:36.500
I can't blame you. I really can't.

26:36.500 --> 26:37.500
I was wrong. I'm sorry.

26:37.500 --> 26:39.500
Oh, that's all right.

26:39.500 --> 26:42.500
Do you know, in a way, I'm glad it was Carlings.

26:42.500 --> 26:43.500
Oh?

26:43.500 --> 26:45.500
I don't know. It's cleaner somehow.

26:45.500 --> 26:49.500
It keeps the trust and the faith alive in all of us.

26:49.500 --> 26:52.500
And that's the biggest thing we have, you know.

26:52.500 --> 26:56.500
Trust in each other and faith.

26:56.500 --> 26:59.500
Well, may I go now?

26:59.500 --> 27:01.500
Yes, Doctor.

27:01.500 --> 27:30.500
I have work to do.

27:31.500 --> 27:38.500
Suspense.

27:38.500 --> 27:43.500
Presented by Auto Light.

27:43.500 --> 27:45.500
Harlow Wilcock speaking.

27:45.500 --> 27:50.500
Next week will mark national holidays for two great countries.

27:50.500 --> 27:57.500
On July 1st, Canada commemorates the 84th anniversary of its founding as a nation.

27:57.500 --> 28:05.500
And on July 4th, the United States celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

28:05.500 --> 28:11.500
May we all recognize the importance of these two great days in our lives

28:11.500 --> 28:31.500
