319
00:25:36,715 --> 00:25:39,377
Very droll. Good day.
No, no, I'm serious.
320
00:25:39,451 --> 00:25:43,046
All right, let's just drop that.
About southern Mexico,
a parrot country,
321
00:25:43,121 --> 00:25:47,455
do they ever mummify human beings there
as they did in Egypt?
322
00:25:49,695 --> 00:25:52,528
I'm all out of free information.
Free.
323
00:25:52,598 --> 00:25:53,758
Oh. Well, of course...
324
00:25:53,832 --> 00:25:59,395
I would be expected
to buy... something.
325
00:25:59,471 --> 00:26:01,905
All right. You see,
326
00:26:01,974 --> 00:26:05,910
climatic dryness was a great ally
of the Egyptians.
327
00:26:05,978 --> 00:26:09,379
However, humidity and dampness,
328
00:26:09,448 --> 00:26:13,214
it led to a faster deterioration
in the New World.
329
00:26:13,285 --> 00:26:17,745
Still, as you can see,
the Incas, Mayas, Aztecs...
330
00:26:17,823 --> 00:26:21,589
did some rather fair work
among their priests,
331
00:26:21,660 --> 00:26:23,855
aristocracy and royal families.
332
00:26:23,929 --> 00:26:27,831
Yes! Yes, so I see.
333
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,095
[ Gasps ]
Yes.
334
00:26:36,909 --> 00:26:39,878
How much?
2 4.75.
335
00:26:39,945 --> 00:26:42,004
You get half a dozen live ones
for that amount of money.
336
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,015
Just sign the voucher,
will you, Tony? Please?
Just sign the voucher.
337
00:26:45,083 --> 00:26:47,278
[ Sighs ]
338
00:26:47,352 --> 00:26:50,810
Thank you very much.
Now here's the story. There it is.
It's all there and exclusive.
339
00:26:50,889 --> 00:26:53,858
Now the bird that hit me
dropped parrot feathers.
340
00:26:53,926 --> 00:26:57,225
Now parrot feathers are from Mexico.
Now Mexico means Aztecs,
341
00:26:57,296 --> 00:27:00,732
and heart sacrifice
was a big part of Aztec religion.
342
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:05,259
I think the last census showed
Aztecs in short supply in Chicago.
343
00:27:05,337 --> 00:27:08,966
Oh, yeah?
Well, that hotel chain is owned
by a guy named Andrews.
344
00:27:09,041 --> 00:27:11,942
Pepe probably has something on him,
maybe murder.
345
00:27:12,010 --> 00:27:15,446
Anyway, that's how he keeps his job.
So I sent wires off on the telex...
346
00:27:15,514 --> 00:27:19,075
to newspapers in each one of the cities
that the chain has a hotel.
347
00:27:19,151 --> 00:27:21,745
Now this one here-
this one's from Mexico City.
348
00:27:24,723 --> 00:27:28,682
- Oh, it says here the Andrews family
changed their name from Arguello.
- Mm-hmm.
349
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,127
And they're from-
[ Mispronounces Word J
Jalisco,
350
00:27:32,197 --> 00:27:36,156
and the hotel chain
started in Veracruz.
351
00:27:36,234 --> 00:27:38,862
It's Ha-lisco, Tony,
notJa-lisco.
352
00:27:38,937 --> 00:27:42,873
Oh, excuse me,Jose.
I don't care if they came from
Hersey City, New Hersey!
353
00:27:42,941 --> 00:27:45,375
There are Mexicans there, too,
but none of them are Aztecs.
354
00:27:45,444 --> 00:27:49,938
Here. This one is from
the paper in Veracruz.
355
00:27:50,015 --> 00:27:53,007
Five heart murders there
about a hundred years ago.
Never solved.
356
00:27:53,085 --> 00:27:56,953
They opened their first hotel
in the United States about 52 years ago
in Atlanta, Georgia.
357
00:27:57,022 --> 00:28:00,355
Five more murders, all heart murders,
never solved.
358
00:28:00,425 --> 00:28:04,191
Fifty-two years ago
and a hundred years ago?
Mm-hmm.
359
00:28:04,262 --> 00:28:06,492
You know, Carl,
I think I understand you.
360
00:28:06,565 --> 00:28:08,931
It's not only that
Andrews is an Aztec,
361
00:28:09,001 --> 00:28:12,903
but he's also part Spanish,
which naturally follows that
he's related to Ponce de Leon.
362
00:28:12,971 --> 00:28:17,169
So he drinks the water
from the fountain of youth,
and that not only controls the telltale gray,
363
00:28:17,242 --> 00:28:20,803
but also allows him to commit murders
a hundred years ago, right?
364
00:28:20,879 --> 00:28:24,474
You're so busy being sarcastic.
You've never heard of psychoses
that run in a family?
365
00:28:24,549 --> 00:28:26,483
Carl, why don't you
tell all this to the police?
366
00:28:26,551 --> 00:28:30,078
I did. I tried.
Webster wouldn't take my calls.
367
00:28:30,155 --> 00:28:33,454
You see why credibility
is so important to a newsman?
368
00:28:33,525 --> 00:28:35,993
And your credibility is zilch!
369
00:28:36,061 --> 00:28:39,326
Well, you see, Tony,

00:28:39,398 --> 00:28:41,332
that's-that's where you come in.
371
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,096
You see, credibility-wise, Tony,
372
00:28:44,169 --> 00:28:47,138
you are a rock within our industry.
373
00:28:47,205 --> 00:28:50,572
If you will just go down-
Oh, no. No, no.
I'm not walking into any precinct...
374

with a lot of iffy charges
against a major hotel owner.

Well, then just put
the facts on the wire.

No, no, no, Carl!
I will not!
378
00:29:00,118 --> 00:29:03,679
These allegations are against
a respectable, important businessman.!
379
00:29:03,755 --> 00:29:05,723
You're gonna need
a lot more documentation.
380
00:29:05,791 --> 00:29:10,091
Businessman? What businessman
keeps a mummy in the basement
and a dummy in a key staff position?
381
00:29:10,162 --> 00:29:14,098
Carl, you yourself said
that the mummy vanished, right?
382
00:29:14,166 --> 00:29:17,727
- Yeah.
- Look, you had a terrible hit on the head,
and you saw things.
383
00:29:17,803 --> 00:29:23,366
And as for having dummies
in key staff positions,
I'm as guilty as the next.

Thanks a lot.
The mummy was there, the facts are here!
What are you gonna do about it?

on one of the facets of Mexican history.

Well, maybe you can help me anyway.
395

the ancient Aztec religious custom
of cutting out human hearts.

Well, yes, I understand
they did a lot of that.

for nothing, however.

The planet Venus,
the third part of the triangle.
477
00:35:33,912 --> 00:35:36,938
Ally of Quetzalcoatl.
When it rises as the morning star,
478
00:35:37,015 --> 00:35:39,575
it's a danger to warriors
like Nanautzin.
479

within sight of Venus.

You mean, he didn't go against his will?

I went over to the Sherwood Hotel.

to stay away from that hotel

Tonight is the night that Andrews
is going to have Pepe Torres
as his last sacrifice to Nanautzin.
511
00:37:47,812 --> 00:37:51,339
You see,
according to the Aztec calendar,
512
00:37:51,416 --> 00:37:54,783
Nanautzin- that's the mummy-
will rise tonight and cut out Pepe's heart.
513

You see, that is Nanautzin's role
in this religious pageant.

- Religious pageant?
- Yeah.

is cluttering up somebody's basement.

And now he's gonna march in
the St. Patrick's Day parade?
517

Tonight, Nanautzin rises,
and he makes one sacrifice.
518
00:38:07,932 --> 00:38:10,662
Then he goes dormant again
when Venus comes out from behind the moon.
519
00:38:10,735 --> 00:38:14,193
- Behind the moon?
- That's right. At 1 2:1 0 tonight, Venus appears.

I already checked
with the observatory.

But after 1 2:1 0, it's all over.
522

for another 52 years.

The highest flight of stairs.

on taller and taller staircases.

of your friend, that big mucky-muck

is the highest staircase in Chicago.
