00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,000
And now, tonight's presentation of radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense.

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,920
Tonight, the story of a man who thought the only way to escape death was to search for

3
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,920
it.

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,080
We call it Diagnosis of Death.

5
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:31,760
So now, starring Gene Bates with Lawrence Dobkin, here is tonight's Suspense play, Diagnosis

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:47,880
of Death.

7
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,000
Come in Martha, come in.

8
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,640
I hope you don't mind my dropping in without an appointment.

9
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,640
No, of course not.

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,640
Sit down.

11
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,640
Oh, thank you.

12
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,640
Your nurse said Simon had already left.

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,640
I suppose he'd call this snooping, but I think I have a right to know.

14
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Oh, Martha, I'm glad you dropped in.

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,640
I tried to call you at home just a few minutes ago.

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,640
Well then, it is serious?

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,640
Well, right now I'm not speaking about Simon's health.

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,640
A rather unfortunate thing has happened.

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,640
Well, not an accident.

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,640
In a sense.

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,640
Now, I'm not even sure that Simon's health is going to be any worse.

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,640
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,640
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,640
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,640
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,640
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,640
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,640
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:27,660
I'm sure he's going to be fine.

30
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:31,460
need your help. Of course, but what are you talking about? Let me start at the beginning.

31
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:36,620
Simon had a one o'clock appointment here with me. I was to give him a final report

32
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:39,980
on all the tests we've run on his condition. Yes, I know that. He wouldn't

33
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:44,140
tell me much about it. I knew he was worried, of course, but he's such a

34
00:01:44,140 --> 00:01:49,800
hypochondriac. He was very worried. So was I. Oh, I didn't realize. Well, just over an

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,140
hour ago, you arrived for that one o'clock appointment. Now, I happened to be

36
00:01:54,140 --> 00:01:57,660
upstairs in consultation with another doctor, and Simon was in the waiting

37
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:03,300
room. Miss Herman says he was very nervous, naturally. Oh, yes, but... Well, he was there

38
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:07,340
in the waiting room when I phoned down to ask Miss Herman to read me a lab

39
00:02:07,340 --> 00:02:12,940
report that had just come in. This was a report on another patient, not on Simon.

40
00:02:12,940 --> 00:02:16,260
Yes. And Miss Herman should have checked the door to the waiting room, but she

41
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:21,780
thought it was closed. Evidently, it had swung open again. Simon must have heard

42
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:26,900
everything she said over the telephone. But what... He heard her tell me that he was

43
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:30,660
here for his appointment, and then immediately after he heard her read the

44
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:35,340
report, and he would have no way of knowing that it wasn't his. He must have

45
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:41,380
thought it was. Well, I'll read you the last sentence of the diagnosis that he

46
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:50,420
overheard. Oh, here. The patient's condition is definitely malignant. In a stage too

47
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:56,060
far advanced for successful surgery, fatal results are indicated in from one

48
00:02:56,060 --> 00:03:01,060
to three months. Oh, gee. Then when Miss Herman finished and looked out, Simon was

49
00:03:01,060 --> 00:03:06,780
just leaving the waiting room. She called to him, but he wouldn't answer. He hasn't

50
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:11,980
been back. Now, I've tried calling his office, your home, but no luck. Oh, poor Simon.

51
00:03:11,980 --> 00:03:16,180
He must be miserable. Poor dear, he's such a pessimist anyway, always ready to

52
00:03:16,180 --> 00:03:21,380
believe the worst. If what I believe is true, he's in an extremely emotional

53
00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:26,100
state right now. Oh, yes, it's just like him jumping to conclusions, getting all upset,

54
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:31,460
when all he had to do was wait to see you. Well, his report wasn't like that,

55
00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:35,700
was it? Oh, no, no, he's not seriously ill, nothing like that. Nothing can't be set

56
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:41,860
right with a few weeks of treatment. Martha, Simon left here believing that he

57
00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:47,700
was going to die, a slow and pretty painful death. Well, we've got to tell him

58
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:54,980
it was a mistake. Martha, I don't think you understand yet just, just how serious

59
00:03:54,980 --> 00:04:04,900
this might be. Oh, what do you mean? You don't think, you don't think Simon would do

60
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:10,500
anything like that. I think anybody faced with that situation might. I think we've

61
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:15,220
got to find him, Martha, as quickly as possible.

62
00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:35,820
Oh, hello, Mrs. Davis. Anne, is Mr. Davis in? Oh, no, I'm sorry, left early today. Did he

63
00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:39,100
say where he was going or when he'd be back? Well, no, he said he wouldn't be

64
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:44,340
back, he was leaving for the afternoon. Jim. How long ago did he leave? Oh, less

65
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:49,100
than an hour, I think. He came back here after he left my office. Well, I was out for

66
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:53,900
lunch, he was here when I came back. This is Dr. Kirk, Anne. Oh, yes, Doctor. How

67
00:04:53,900 --> 00:05:01,500
long did he stay? Maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Is something wrong, Mrs. Davis? We don't

68
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:05,860
know yet, Anne, I hope not. You don't know where Mr. Davis might have gone. Did he

69
00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:10,300
have any business appointments? Well, one with Mr. Gaffney, but he told me to cancel

70
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:17,180
that. Didn't say anything else? No. Did he seem upset? I don't think so. A little

71
00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:21,940
preoccupied, perhaps, a little quieter than usual, but. Just what did he do while

72
00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:27,500
he was here? I don't know, he was alone in his office. Oh, may I look in there? It's

73
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:39,140
just possible. Of course, Doctor, this way. Thank you. Everything looks all right. What's this?

74
00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:53,500
Well, that's strange. It's addressed to me. Open it, please. It's a check for $250. Oh, I don't

75
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:57,900
understand. There's a note, too. Would you read it, please? This summer's thank you for your excellent

76
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:03,740
services. I regret I will no longer need them. And closed is a check for one month's pay.

77
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:09,900
You may finish out the week and then you're free. Refer all of my clients to Benjamin Brown, if you

78
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:15,220
will, please, sincerely, Simon Davis. Jim. Now, this may not mean what you think at all, Martha.

79
00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:19,900
He believed it was very ill-naturally he'd expect to give up his business. Let's us not jump to

80
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:25,980
conclusions, too. Mrs. Davis, I don't understand. What's wrong? And Simon thought he was going to

81
00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:32,980
die. He may have decided... Oh, no. Oh, Mrs. Davis, I'm sorry. Now, there may be no danger,

82
00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:37,740
but even if there isn't, we've got to find the man, relieve his mind. You can help,

83
00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:41,740
Miss Summers. Oh, yes, of course. You get on the telephone, call any place you can think of,

84
00:06:41,740 --> 00:06:46,180
he might have gone. If you find him, tell him he must talk to me, that what he thinks isn't true.

85
00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:52,540
He's not going to die. Jim, maybe we should call the police. Maybe. Actually, we don't know that

86
00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:58,860
he's planning anything. No, but maybe they can help us find him. I suppose you're right. Yes?

87
00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:05,980
There is something I forgot to tell you. You asked if he did anything strange. Yes. Well,

88
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:09,860
while he was in his office, he wrote a letter. What was strange about that? Well, it was in

89
00:07:09,860 --> 00:07:14,980
longhand. He didn't dictate it to me. Oh. And then he brought it out all addressed and stamped and

90
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:19,900
asked me to mail it. Told me to take it right out and drop it down the chute by the elevator. Oh,

91
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:28,140
was that unusual? No, but just before I dropped it down the chute, I, well, I looked at the address.

92
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:51,820
Well? It was addressed to you, Mrs. Davis. You are listening to Diagnosis of Death,

93
00:07:51,820 --> 00:08:09,340
tonight's presentation in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense. The case of the

94
00:08:09,340 --> 00:08:15,260
jealous wife is a perfect example of how criminal gangs rise and fall. A series of supermarket

95
00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:20,660
holdups in Chicago went on unchecked until a woman scorned helped local police turn the tables and

96
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:26,740
nail the mob. Full details this Saturday night on CBS radio's Gangbusters. Don't miss it over most

97
00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:33,940
of these same stations. The true case of the jealous wife on Gangbusters. And now we bring

98
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:39,220
back to our Hollywood soundstage, Gene Bates with Lawrence Dobkin, starring in tonight's

99
00:08:39,220 --> 00:09:01,220
production of Diagnosis of Death, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

100
00:09:01,220 --> 00:09:06,940
Don't you see, Sergeant, why would he write me a letter unless, unless he weren't coming home?

101
00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:10,940
You don't know what was in the letter, of course. No, no, it's already in the mail,

102
00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:16,260
but I know my husband. Of course, Mrs. Davis. He didn't tell his secretary anything? No,

103
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:20,340
sir, nothing. Doctor, shall I go on calling? Oh, yes, yes, please, miss, I'm sorry.

104
00:09:20,340 --> 00:09:28,020
Sergeant, what else can we do? You're sure he's not at home? If he knew you were going to be out for

105
00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:31,380
the afternoon? Oh, he called there three times, there's no answer. Of course he wouldn't answer.

106
00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:37,500
If we'll know about that soon enough, I sent a squad car to investigate at that address. Sergeant,

107
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:41,580
do you think... You know your husband better than I do, ma'am. Under the circumstances,

108
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:47,100
you couldn't blame him too much. He hasn't had much time, it's only about three, he's had less than

109
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:51,980
two hours. Usually people with ideas like this only take a little while to think it over,

110
00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:56,260
maybe he has a few drinks. Time he doesn't drink. Well, but maybe under the circumstances...

111
00:09:56,260 --> 00:10:00,140
We'll try anything. Miss Summers, call any bars close around, will you? Oh, yes, doctor, sure.

112
00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:07,140
Officer, can't we do something? Mrs. Davis, we're doing all we can. We check the emergency

113
00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:11,060
hospital, every squad car in the area has been alerted, they're searching for a man of his

114
00:10:11,060 --> 00:10:14,740
description. We're checking bridges, railroad yards, tall buildings, we're checking the house.

115
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:21,660
I know, but we just can't sit here. Maybe if we'd go out looking. Sergeant, maybe he's just walking

116
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:29,940
down some street or sitting in the park. Just sitting... I know how you feel, ma'am, but it's

117
00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:34,540
not very likely we'd find him unless we have some idea of where he might have gone. That's it exactly,

118
00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:39,060
Martha, where would we go? Where would he go? I don't know, I don't know. If he were really

119
00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:44,420
decided on suicide, he'd have to go somewhere or get something to accomplish the purpose.

120
00:10:44,420 --> 00:10:50,500
Still there are lots of ways, just stepping out in front of a truck. Oh, no. I'm sorry,

121
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:58,140
Mrs. Davis. Martha, maybe you'd go into the inner office, huh? Lie down, rest a little while. No,

122
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:10,580
I'm all right. I want to help. All right. Sergeant, Mr. Davis isn't the kind of man for violent ways,

123
00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:17,020
something more... Like poison, sleeping pills? Yes, yes, that would be more likely. You have

124
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:21,100
anything like that at home, Mrs. Davis? No, he never took sleeping pills. He never even

125
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:25,060
wanted them in the house, even when he was in pain. Well, if he regarded them as too

126
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:29,100
lethally keeping the house, he might have thought of them, but he couldn't get them

127
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:33,460
without a prescription. Well, maybe he could, where he was known. He might have tried,

128
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:39,100
and if we could just pick up his trail someplace. Yeah, but where would he try? There's a drug store

129
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:42,140
right downstairs in this building. They must know him. All right, it's worth a chance.

130
00:11:42,140 --> 00:11:58,260
Yes, I know Mr. Davis. He was in just a little while ago. What did he want? Well,

131
00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:02,500
as a matter of fact, he wanted some sleeping tablets, but he didn't have a prescription,

132
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:06,780
so of course I couldn't supply him. As you know... You didn't sell him any? Well, I'm telling you,

133
00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:12,020
you know I couldn't. I was sorry to disappoint him. I told him to phone the doctor. That would be

134
00:12:12,020 --> 00:12:17,180
enough, and they could send the prescription over later, but he wouldn't stop to phone. He was in a

135
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:22,500
hurry, and he said he'd be back, and that was anything wrong? No, but if you should come back,

136
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:33,300
stall him and notify the police. Why, of course, officer. That's my car at the curb. I'm gonna

137
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:42,660
check in on the radio. All right, sergeant. I'm afraid, Jim. I'm afraid. Martha, we don't know anything for

138
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:47,620
sure. But we do know. How we do know? He doesn't tend... Maybe not. Maybe not. He might have wanted

139
00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:51,940
the pills because of pain. He was having some pain. But he... Anyway, he didn't get them, Martha,

140
00:12:51,940 --> 00:12:57,660
and he's not likely to. But there are other things... Well, yes, but we're not sure yet.

141
00:12:57,660 --> 00:13:04,340
There's no use imagining things. We've got to keep calm, Martha, and just try to find him. Yes,

142
00:13:04,340 --> 00:13:12,620
I know. Thanks, Jim, for being here. I don't know what I've done... It was my fault, my office's fault.

143
00:13:12,620 --> 00:13:19,980
Mrs. Davis, was your car at home in the garage? Yes, sergeant. Mr. Davis wasn't driving it then,

144
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:25,460
huh? No, he always took the bus to work because of the parking problem. I do, too. We only use the

145
00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:29,900
car at night or on weekends. I'm finding it there. It doesn't mean anything. He's not at home,

146
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:34,700
Mrs. Davis. They checked the house, talked to the neighbors. But inside? No, they're sure he hasn't

147
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:41,180
been home this afternoon. Well, that leaves us right back where we started. Yeah. Does he own a gun?

148
00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:47,300
No, oh no. He's always been afraid of guns. Well, it's still a possibility. There are three pawn

149
00:13:47,300 --> 00:14:01,340
shops in this neighborhood. We might as well check them. I don't sell no guns to no guys

150
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:05,700
without they got a permit. Now, you know that, sergeant. I don't draw no beef from you guys.

151
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:12,180
Do I stay in business otherwise? Tell me that. Let me see the book. Sure, sure. Yeah, you take a look.

152
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:18,540
Take a good look. I'm clean. You'll see. A good, clean book. Yeah, you wouldn't have put it in here

153
00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:24,860
anyway. I told you, I never sold no gun to no guy like you say. Look, Nicko, this is no beef. This

154
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:28,460
is different. This man wanted the gun to use on himself. We're trying to prevent that. We want

155
00:14:28,460 --> 00:14:32,540
your help. How can I help when I don't know nothing? I know you've done it before and you'll do it again

156
00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:36,580
and someday we'll catch at it. But this time I don't care. Nothing happened. You understand? Yeah,

157
00:14:36,580 --> 00:14:41,140
yeah, you cops. I told you. This is Mrs. Davis. We're trying to save her husband's life. Please,

158
00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:45,580
Mr. Nicko, please. Just tell us the truth. Nothing happens, I promise you. Look, lady, I...

159
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:51,340
How do you know I'm not telling the truth? Call it a hunch. Now, come on, level. Nothing happens?

160
00:14:51,340 --> 00:14:58,540
Nothing. Well, look, now understand, sergeant, I don't never sell no guns to no guys without

161
00:14:58,540 --> 00:15:06,300
they got a permit, huh? But this wasn't really no gun, see? You did sell him something. Yeah,

162
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:13,020
a guy looks like you said only it was kind of a special gun. You sold him a gun? Well, now wait a

163
00:15:13,020 --> 00:15:19,220
minute, lady. That's what I'm trying to tell you. You got nothing to worry about. Go on. Because he

164
00:15:19,220 --> 00:15:25,740
ain't gonna shoot nobody with that gun. Why not? Well, now look, sergeant, you said nothing happened.

165
00:15:25,740 --> 00:15:32,460
Yeah, yeah. I don't usually do this kind of business, you understand, but I kind of had a

166
00:15:32,460 --> 00:15:37,620
hunch what this bird was up to. That's why I done it. Honest. That's why I done it. What was wrong with

167
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:42,180
the gun? It didn't have no fire in pen. This bird didn't know the difference. Of course, I didn't

168
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:49,540
charge no real gun price, but that gun won't shoot nobody. Honest. Okay, Nicko.

169
00:15:49,540 --> 00:16:03,820
What do we do now, sergeant? Might as well cruise around a little. One thing, we're only a few minutes

170
00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:08,660
behind him now. Nicko said he was in a little after three about half hour ago, kind of gone

171
00:16:08,660 --> 00:16:20,900
far. All right. Mrs. Davis. Martha, get in. Don't you see, Jim? It means he really had decided. Yes,

172
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:26,780
but he won't succeed, Martha, not with that gun. No, but if he really wanted to... Simon. Martha,

173
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:48,780
come on. We'll find him somehow. Yeah. Get in, Mrs. Davis. All right. 5L7. 5L7. 1423 Vista. What time is it? 586E. 20 minutes to four.

174
00:16:48,780 --> 00:17:01,860
6L10. 6L10. 916 West 21st. 484 report. I have a feeling we've got to find him quickly. I don't

175
00:17:01,860 --> 00:17:05,740
know why. Martha, just keep calm. There's no use torturing yourself by imagining things.

176
00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:19,860
1A14. Jefferson Park. West side. Georgia Street entrance. Man with the gun. Wait a minute. This is 1LY10.

177
00:17:19,860 --> 00:17:32,020
I'll take that call to Jefferson Park. 1LY10. Roger. 1A14. Cancel your call to Jefferson Park. 1LY10. Jefferson Park?

178
00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:48,500
You think... I don't know. We'll see. I tell you, you've got to find that man and punish him,

179
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:53,660
officer. It's a crying shame when men like that are allowed to run loose, giving guns to children.

180
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:58,540
Everett, drop that thing. I told you not to touch it again. Here, let me have it, Simon. Yes, sir.

181
00:17:58,540 --> 00:18:06,980
Is it? Yeah. Son, where's the man who gave it to you? Well, he didn't exactly give it to me,

182
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:12,020
mister. He dropped it in the trash can over there, but he didn't want it anymore, honest. It wasn't

183
00:18:12,020 --> 00:18:17,060
stealing. I know, son, but where is the man now? Well, he got on the bus over there at the corner.

184
00:18:17,060 --> 00:18:23,380
Going which way? That way. How long ago? Well, about 10 minutes. 10 minutes. Oh, Simon. All right,

185
00:18:23,380 --> 00:18:28,820
come on. We'll get him. Mister? What, son? I know why he didn't want the gun. It don't work. Everett,

186
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:34,660
you tried it. You tried to shoot it. You wait for your father. It's our bus. He's taking the bus home.

187
00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:39,660
It also ends up out at the lake. The lake? We should be able to beat the bus there if we hurry.

188
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:55,420
Martha, Martha, it's going to be all right. We're going to get there in time. Maybe it's my fault.

189
00:18:55,420 --> 00:19:01,580
Maybe if I'd been more interested, understood more. Maybe I've been selfish. You must not blame yourself,

190
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:06,980
Martha. Why at a time like this? Why wouldn't he come to me and share it with me? Maybe he wanted to

191
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:16,020
spare you. Spare me? Jim, what time is it? Just four o'clock. No, it's two minutes after.

192
00:19:16,020 --> 00:19:22,540
Sergeant, will you turn right at Warby Street, please? But, Mrs. Davis. I want to stop at home

193
00:19:22,540 --> 00:19:26,500
first. We can't waste time. The bus will be at the lake any minute. It's only around the corner,

194
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:30,540
half a block. I want to, Sergeant. But five minutes may make the difference, Mrs. Davis. Please,

195
00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:37,060
Sergeant. I have a feeling I want to go home. All right, Mrs. Davis. Is this it? Yeah.

196
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:42,860
The fourth house, the white one with the picket fence.

197
00:19:42,860 --> 00:19:56,820
Everything looks peaceful enough. Go inside and look, just to make sure.

198
00:19:56,820 --> 00:20:23,180
Hurry, hurry. There's Cody's here. Simon! Mr. Davis? Simon! The bedroom this way. Simon! Simon! Simon! Simon, where are you?

199
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:39,460
How about the kitchen? Are there any other rooms? No. This coat. He was wearing that coat,

200
00:20:39,460 --> 00:20:43,820
and he wouldn't go out again without it. Not in this cold. Hey, wait. Where's the back door?

201
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:57,660
That way. Oh, yes. Hurry. The garage. The motor is running. Come on. That's exhaust smoke. Come on.

202
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:21,100
Grab the plate. Now, we've got to get him out fast. Simon! Simon! All right, Sergeant. Put him here on the grass.

203
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:30,140
All right. That's it. Jim. Jim is here. Take it easy, ma'am. Let the doc work on him. There wasn't too much gas.

204
00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:35,540
He couldn't have been there long. But Mr. Simon. Maybe I better get on the car radio, doc. Get the rescue squad.

205
00:21:35,540 --> 00:21:45,020
No. Don't think that'll be necessary, Sergeant. You don't mean he... Come here, Martha. Down here.

206
00:21:45,020 --> 00:21:59,100
Simon. Martha, I'm sorry. You're going to be all right. Oh, Simon.

207
00:22:15,020 --> 00:22:29,140
