this is my new sports car i'm quite proud of it
however i wish i also had one for the other foot
2
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:44,320
i did consider entering this in the grand prix but
decided not to i'm sure i would have won the booby
3
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:51,760
pre however we must be getting on with tonight's
show i receive a great many inquiries from viewers
4
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:59,120
who wonder why i permit commercials on our show
frankly i feel that television commercials are
5
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:11,840
ideally suited to this type of program this next
one for example is most appropriate it's deadly
6
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,360
well that's the first part of the story victor
plus the cast of characters remember the people
7
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,160
i've called janet and ivar west they play an
important part in the murder i have in mind
8
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,480

never met warren barrow have you barrel no
12
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,000
i started publishing his mysteries three years
ago good stuff neat little chest problems nice
13
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,880
edge of lunacy anyway i've been working quite
closely with him he's uh nervous high strung not
14
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:42,720
at all like you thanks a day or two ago he started
sending me some tape recordings this is the first
15
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:50,320
one it's incredible he seems to be treating me as
if i were his father confessor how do you mean for
16
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:57,040
some reason probably because i'm more than just
a publisher to him he needs my approval or at
17
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:03,840
least my ear if what he says is true he's going to
kill someone there's nothing i can do to stop him
18
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,720
sounds like a joke to me joke
19
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,040
judge for yourself
20
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:22,000
this is for victor hartman publisher of medallion
press repeat this is for victor hartman only
21
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,720
hello victor i'm sure you're surprised to hear
from me in this way but i rather desperately
22
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,240
need someone to talk to maybe i'm used to having
your blue pencil slash through everything i write
23
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,160
so consider yourself a captive audience first
let me make one thing clear warren barrow is
24
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:46,800
not my real name it's a pseudonym victor a new
identity i acquired before i met you and the
25
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:52,080
names of the people i'm going to tell you about
are also fictitious so you'll never know whether
26
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:59,040
this recording is true or pure fantasy a dictated
fantasy of mine or the actual history of a murder
27
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,000
but wait a minute he always said background was
important in the story so i'll start with mine
28
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:12,400
i was mad victor did you know that a beautiful
girl named helen she was perfect everything

mediterranean coast we usually took our meals with

businessman from the states in the few days i had

race is not to the swift nor the battle to the
strong but time and chance happeneth to them all

74
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,560
a concussion they wanted me to submit to a series
of brain operations i refused i didn't care if i
75
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:31,360
was tormented by headaches for the rest of my life
it would serve as a punishment for helen's death
76
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,440
well that's the first part of my story victor
plus the cast of characters remember the people

about his wife's death mistake recording is

100
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:28,000
what's wrong with that it's not too far
interesting but i'm afraid i've lost my chaperone
101
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:42,960
do you need one i know daddy you told me goodbye
102
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:53,840

103
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,840
remote isn't it i like privacy
104
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:35,840
oh so many books you have
to let me read one of yours
105
00:16:38,960 --> 00:17:03,840
thank you i wish you had done that a few years ago
106
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,640
that was the beginning of our relationship
victor we saw each other constantly janet
107
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,839
would talk about her husband his cruelty his
possessiveness the fact that her life with
108
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:29,280
him was almost unbearable she was good for me
victor she even took an interest in my work it's
109
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:36,880
excellent i'm always so amazed how cleverly you
put these things together tell that to the critics
110
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,520
darling suppose you were writing a novel about us
111
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:52,080
suppose we were looking for the perfect way
to get rid of well let's say i've are i'm her
112
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,520
how would we go about it just for fun
that shouldn't be too hard now remember
113
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,840
he's worth a lot of money and i'd be the first
one they'd suspect oh not if you had an alibi
114
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:09,040
well let's see now uh i'd kill him obviously you'd
have to be out of the house with a friend mrs
115
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,240
hurley exactly you take mrs holly out to dinner
and i'm lear i were over here on some pretext
116
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:22,240
then yes well then i kill him oh what about
the body i dig a grave in the back of the
117
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:28,400
house there's nothing but woods there anyway wait
a minute i've just thought of a rather nice touch
118
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,040
in the last few days before we killed him you
could go around telling all his friends that
119
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:39,120
he'd been working too hard that he was run down
depressed yes and then on the day of the murder
120
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,240
you could take one of his
jackets leave it near the shore
121
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:49,120
i see they'd find identification in his
pockets and think he committed suicide
122
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:55,840
because the body would never be found you'll learn
fast no i'm not very good at these things but
123
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:04,800
one point bothers me what's that suppose someone
found the grave behind the house that's no problem
124
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,800
because by that time i should have changed back
to my real name married you the police will be
125
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,960
looking for warren barrow a mystery writer who
doesn't exist you know it could actually work
126
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:29,680
yes shaping up nicely we talked about the
plan frequently grew to be a favorite game
127
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,760
it was all in jest of course
128
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,400
you do love me don't you yes of course i do
129
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,280
then there's a way out remember our
little plan it's the perfect solution
130
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:53,680
that was just a game i know but don't you
see it can actually work you can't be serious
131
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,360
warren look at me darling
132
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:09,520
you love me i know you do yes but we couldn't
have come this far if you hadn't loved me now
133
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,160
we just have to go one step further and listen i
spent all afternoon calling my friends telling him
134
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,480
he's been very depressed for weeks why did you do
that brother telling me i thought you'd be pleased
135
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,800
you realize what'll happen
when he finds out he won't
136
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:33,840
because you're getting rid of
him tonight janet wait a minute
137
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:50,240
he's coming here at nine o'clock what i told him
i ran into a few days ago now he loves flemish
138
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,920
paintings i told him you had one for sale it's
not true of course but it doesn't matter it'll
139
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,520
at least get him here and i've taken one of
his coats out of the closet and stopped in
140
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,920
the car i'll drop it by the shore later tonight
you see i've done everything just the way you
141
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:07,600
planned but this is much too fast why wait we
can finally be together you told me you loved me
142
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:15,280
get a divorce it's the easiest way and live
on your royalties i've always needed money
143
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,040
and i've always been honest with you
about that at least let's think it over
144
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,320
there isn't time darling you've been so
clever about this it'll work i know it will
145
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,720
all right all right we've always had
it in the back of our minds haven't we
146
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,840
and don't forget you owe it to him
not only for me but for your wife
147
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:57,840
helen he was the one who kept her out that night
he was trying to punish you for going off with me
148
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,440
will you do it
149
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:17,120
we are about to pass the halfway point time
will be allowed if you need to change your tires
150
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:24,560
or gas up i must warn you about this however
this area is well policed do not attempt to
151
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,400
leave your living room or to change channels
any attempted effect will be dealt with
152
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:39,840
harshly radar is a marvelous device during the
station break an elderly gentleman in peru indiana
153
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,160
attempted to go to the kitchen for a jelly
sandwich and was detected at once he has
154
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:53,840
been given a long sentence at hard labor to be
precise he must watch the following commercial
155
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:06,000
well i think i'll take that drink now help
yourself now you know why i called you i
156
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,320
needed someone to talk to just like our friend
on this table and he wanted my opinion that's
157
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:18,640
why you're here well why me victor because of
the things you write analytical problems with a
158
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:26,960
fine sense of psychology if anyone can make sense
out of this whole model you can well i'm flattered
159
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,040
but i think the answer is fairly simple barrow's
unbalanced the automobile accident must have
160
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:36,400
affected his brain did it well of course why else
would a man preview a murder on a tape recorder
161
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,280
maybe there wasn't any
accident now think of this tom
162
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,000
maybe this whole thing is just
an outline for barrow's new novel
163
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,320
you don't you remember the time you called
me in the middle of the night and started to
164
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,080
give me an idea for your new book for a minute i
thought you'd lost your but that was different i
165
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,920
was out partying it up i was up on cloud nine but
barrow is not well no this look janet janet west
166
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,920
she's obviously taken advantage of his mental
condition she's using him even so what do i do
167
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,320
if i take it to the police i'm
opening myself up for a lawsuit
168
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,520
besides i don't even know where he lives his
correspondence is sent to a post office box well
169
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,720
he doesn't have a phone number or anything well
if he had one don't you think i would have used it
170
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:27,840
and what about ivar west how do we reach him west
isn't even his real name he could be dead now
171
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,320
well it's still possible we're upset about
nothing he may just be outlining a new book
172
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:50,720
sorry i don't buy that yes a package just
arrived for you mr hartman let's mock urgent

cruelly for one you talk about cruelty i know
204
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,360
what you're thinking but you've only heard
her side of the story i suppose she's told
205
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,160
you that i've knocked her around and insulted
her that's right it stands to reason that's what
206
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:52,400
she told the others i was talking about other
men i don't believe it that's your privilege
207
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,560
but let me tell you one thing i never hit her
in my life why didn't you get rid of her well
208
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,960
i don't know habit i suppose in spite of
all those other men i learned to live with
209
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:11,840
it but that's over i'm i'm gonna check into a
hotel tonight and call my lawyer in the morning
210
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,560

211
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,840
go ahead
212
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,840
good night
213
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:46,080
janice call i didn't answer
because i've made a decision
214
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,120
i'd go to her and tell her what happened
my husband was going to divorce her
215
00:30:51,120 --> 00:31:03,840
anyway
216
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,800
i drove for hours trying to clear my mind
217
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:45,840
trying to understand what had happened there
was only one answer and i refused to believe it
218
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:59,840
so
219
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:10,880
oh you warren barrel that's right police officers
mr barrel my name is pearson this is my partner
220
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:17,440
jack rossetti mind if we come in do you have a
warrant no sir but we can get one if we have to
221
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,320
what's this all about just routine mr barrel
we got a call someone said they heard a shot
222
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,880
coming from this house they leave a name no sir
but that's ridiculous i don't have a neighbor
223
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:44,400
for miles all the same i was wondering if
you had any firearms i just have this gun
224
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:55,840
it hasn't been fired in years is it registered
yes of course the safety catch seems to be stuck
225
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:03,920
uh well everything seems to be in order i
think i can explain that telephone call yes sir
226
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:11,840
i'm a mystery writer one of my friends was
probably playing a joke yeah my compliment
227
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:19,280
thanks i'll have to read this my wife goes
through six a week well we might as well eat
228
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,080
sorry to bother you mr barrel oh that's
perfectly all right like you said she was
229
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:37,840
probably playing a joke she what was that
she the woman on the phone well good night
230
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:47,280
janet had planned it all perfectly i had to admire
the skill the police were supposed to find ivor's
231
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:53,680
body and arrest me janet would say i was a poor
unbalanced man a man who had reason to hate her
232
00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:01,440
husband then she'd be free with ivor's money to
do whatever she pleased so now i have to kill her
233
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,840
after all anyone would do the same in my
place wouldn't their victory wouldn't they
234
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:19,280
why you still think it's a book no but how do
we prove it well it's not important what we
235
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:24,880
have to do is find janet west whoever she is
and try and warn her but remember tom so far
236
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:34,720
he hasn't committed a single illegal act it's
nothing but talk yes yes someone to see you sir
237
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,760
can it wait i'm busy he said you wanted
to talk to him but who is it hey mr barrow
238
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,840
send him in please
239
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:17,920
hello aaron hello this is tom keller one of our
writers drink no thank you i just dropped by for a
240
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:23,360
few minutes i thought i'd uh pick up these tapes
oh i'd like to talk to you about your new book
241
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,320
great idea of putting it on tape oh yes my
bug well it's a bit rough at the moment but
242
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,840
i think you'll be able to get the general flow
of the story then it is a story uh yes of course
243
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,240
i hope you don't mind warren but i asked
tom to come in to listen to it another
244
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:42,880
opinion always helps it's quite an unusual
book very unusual yeah well i hope i didn't
245
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,400
confuse you by using my own name it's just
a device to make the thing more realistic
246
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:58,320
well uh what did you think i'll be honest with you
it does seem a bit far-fetched don't you agree tom
247
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:03,040
no not really i i think it could very easily
happen in real life but it's so implausible
248
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:08,160
the idea of a character sending tapes to his
publisher it's kind of hard to believe no not
249
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,000
at all you see he wants someone to understand
the way he feels it's quite natural he wants
250
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,240
to share his point of view after all when
he's uh well when he's finished what he
251
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:19,760
has to do he doesn't want people to think
he's just a common murderer he has reasons
252
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,640
i mean he's got complete justification he's a very
sympathetic character sympathetic i think he's a
253
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:32,000
weakling what do you mean obara's a total fool
now wait a minute nothing personal but tommy is
254
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,880
the character in your book sure let's look at him
he's completely under the domination of janet west
255
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:42,320
like pavlov's dog she was oc box but he's in love
with her well what kind of a man would fall in
256
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,280
love with a woman like that but you haven't met
janet waverly any man could be in love with her
257
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:53,120
you mean any man like barrow no no she's using
him he's nothing more than a pawn that's not true
258
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,720
in this business about recording a murder
plan in advance this belief in an infallible
259
00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:00,480
false identity is nothing but the conceit
of an unbalanced mind he's not unbalanced
260
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,360
of course he is it's all in the book he
needed a brain operation and he refused
261
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:14,000
was that on the uh was that on the tape
don't you remember yes yes that's right yes
262
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,040
and i mean it's just my opinion your character
is weak and pathetic no reader could possibly
263
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:26,080
be interested in it i don't agree i don't
expect you to you're too close to it warren
264
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,280
i am not i'm completely objective are you you must
265
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,800
realize that barrow's wife was lucky
to die when she did don't say that
266
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,480
we're saved from seeing our husband disintegrate
you didn't listen you didn't understand at all
267
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:49,840
yeah i i'm sorry i didn't mean to shout like
that i i get so involved with my characters
268
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,320
well naturally i don't agree
with your criticisms of course
269
00:37:55,120 --> 00:38:03,840
but i'll uh think some more about them if you'll
excuse me huh oh mr barrel do you have a light
270
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,560
it's strange the character in
your book has a cut finger too
271
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:21,520
yes that's quite a coincidence he cut
it on the safe to catch his revolver yes
272
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:27,920
well thank you gentlemen for your
help now if you don't mind i'd like my
273
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:34,960
tapes uh why don't i send them to you i'd like
to listen to them again maybe i was a bit hasty
274
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,880
that's a trouble with a law a man has to
commit a crime before you can stop him
275
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:54,240
and i i thought for sure he'd break did you see
the look on his face when i attacked his hero
276
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,760
for a minute i thought he was going to admit
the truth that he got a grip on himself now
277
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:05,760
we're right back where we started exactly if i
go to the police he'll do what he did with us
278
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:11,280
to claim it's a book you know there's still
nothing illegal about recording a mystery novel
279
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,640
there's only one thing that
bothers me why did he come here
280
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,520
because unconsciously he wanted to be
stopped oh we didn't do a very good job
281
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:32,960
didn't he yes he used the name janet waverly
that's right and all the tapes he called a giant
282
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:41,840
west he was excited maybe made a slip perhaps
waverly is a real name where's your phone book
283
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,520
watkins what
284
00:39:53,120 --> 00:40:01,360
waverly no janet wait a
minute iha waverly of course
285
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:12,080
he used their real first names try her on the
phone she's there with warner four two one one
286
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,640
and nobody's entering she's not home let it ring
287
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:34,480
and i'm going over there i'll go with you
no you risk the lawsuit take the tape over
288

00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,880
helen was a very poor chess player
it's funny how women are different

00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:49,840
some women can be trusted janet some women are
unpredictable and i think you know what i mean
313

i came to apologize apologize yes i
315
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,400
about your book i was too harsh in victor's office
316
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:38,640
you liked it very much it's excellent really
it's the best book you've ever written
317
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,320
yes as a matter of fact i want you to
318
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:51,920
tell it to some friends of mine some publishers
victor's my publisher of course he is
319
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:59,840
but he could never give it the
circulation they look like this deserves
320
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,960
uh they're very excited about
321
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,160
should we get started
322
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:17,680
i suppose you're right
323
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:27,840
we got not to keep them waiting yes
324
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:40,080
with janet dead bella was happy he was
free of helen and now it was free of her
325
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:47,920

happens in the last chapter and besides there's
326
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:55,840
no need to worry because there are any characters
in a book janet ivor helen creatures of my mind
327
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:04,320
i'm not quite sure how to end it it's
always the problem finding the right ending
328
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:11,120
it's always the problem finding the right ending
329
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:23,840
it's always the problem finding the right candy
330
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:34,960
this is the ideal sports car for me it lends an
air of dash and zip yet with perfect safety since
331
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:40,880
i'm only permitted to drive it on the sidewalk we
have arrived at the finish line of tonight's show
