WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:22.000
Mystery House.

00:22.000 --> 00:31.000
That strange publishing firm owned by Dan and Barbara Glenn, where each new novel is acted out by the Mystery House staff before it is accepted for publication.

00:31.000 --> 00:40.000
Mystery House.

00:40.000 --> 00:47.000
Well, hi, Barbie. Story we're trying out for Mystery House tonight deals with freaks, you said. Circus, shied show people?

00:47.000 --> 00:56.000
That's right, Dan. And they're unlike any people you've ever known, completely unreal from our way of looking at things, and yet such people actually exist.

00:56.000 --> 01:00.000
Hmm, sounds like it ought to be a dandy. Sied show atmosphere, barkers, all that sort of thing.

01:00.000 --> 01:04.000
You know, Mr. Glenn, the sied show barker was a forerunner of the radio announcer.

01:04.000 --> 01:07.000
Uh-oh, I feel that remark's leading up to something, Bob.

01:07.000 --> 01:18.000
As a matter of fact, it is. It's leading up to a message from our sponsor.

01:18.000 --> 01:30.000
Okay, Tom, set the scene.

01:30.000 --> 01:37.000
Malice in Wonderland. That's right, folks. I said Wonderland.

01:37.000 --> 01:44.000
The great Wonderland circus sideshow with the most gargantuan collection of freaks, monstrosities, and curiosities ever assembled under campus.

01:44.000 --> 01:50.000
Nellie, the bearded lady. Jolly Della, who tips the scales at 500 and breaks them at 550.

01:50.000 --> 01:55.000
Joe Sefi, the greatest sword-swallower in the world. Enigma, the living zombie.

01:55.000 --> 02:03.000
Malkin, Pope, the jungle monstrosities. And Professor Flesh, the greatest magician the world has ever known.

02:03.000 --> 02:14.000
For this one performance only, see them all. Don't cry, don't push. The ticket line phones at the right.

02:14.000 --> 02:17.000
This outfit's jinxed if ever I saw them, it was.

02:17.000 --> 02:21.000
Why, I ain't gonna be a fat lady no longer if we don't start hitting some business.

02:21.000 --> 02:28.000
Wonderland. The wonder is how Flesh manages to keep us going. I'm weighing myself half to death wondering when we're gonna close.

02:28.000 --> 02:31.000
Well, you haven't lost any weight, Della. You look real good.

02:31.000 --> 02:33.000
Well, thanks, Milly.

02:33.000 --> 02:40.000
Is that Midget? Major Tembo? Is it jinx? We've had nothing but trouble since he joined the show.

02:40.000 --> 02:42.000
Oh, there's Enigma. He wants a drink of water.

02:42.000 --> 02:50.000
Oh, I'll get it for him. You suppose that's a racket? Or can't Enigma move a muscle except the little finger of his left hand?

02:50.000 --> 02:59.000
Well, if it is a racket, Milly, it's a tough one. Imagine being sprawled out on a cot that way all your life and not being able to say anything or do anything.

02:59.000 --> 03:02.000
Just ring a little bell with the little finger of your left hand.

03:02.000 --> 03:05.000
Oh, I'll be right back. Oh, hello, Josephine.

03:05.000 --> 03:14.000
Hello. Four picture postcards of myself I sold at the last show. Me, the great Josephine, the world's finest sword swallower. 40 cents.

03:14.000 --> 03:16.000
It's that Major Tembo.

03:16.000 --> 03:23.000
Major Tembo's too big in the brain for the rest of his body. Someday I'll run a sword right down his mouth to the tip of his toes.

03:23.000 --> 03:26.000
He sure got noiseless saying her beard was a fake.

03:26.000 --> 03:31.000
And what did he tell me? That my swords are fake. Me, the great Josephine.

03:31.000 --> 03:41.000
You know, I've seen sideshow people get sucker sore, sick of having people stare at them. But it ain't just the toners Major Tembo hates. He don't seem to like nobody.

03:41.000 --> 03:42.000
Oh, there you are, Josephine.

03:42.000 --> 03:43.000
Oh, Fudge.

03:43.000 --> 03:46.000
Been looking all over for you. It's time to start the ballet for the next show, Josephine.

03:46.000 --> 03:48.000
I am not doing the ballet.

03:48.000 --> 03:49.000
What?

03:49.000 --> 03:51.000
I said I am not doing the ballet.

03:51.000 --> 03:57.000
Look, Josephine, you ain't an opera star. How do you think we get the customers in here? You're doing the ballet who all right and right now.

03:57.000 --> 03:58.000
No.

03:58.000 --> 04:00.000
I'll leave him alone, Flash. He's down in my mouth.

04:00.000 --> 04:04.000
Well, that's the way a sword swallower ought to be, ain't it? Down in the mouth. Get it?

04:04.000 --> 04:07.000
You're a riot, Flash.

04:07.000 --> 04:13.000
Okay, okay. Come on, snap out of it, Josephine. We gotta stir up a tip. Get a crowd.

04:13.000 --> 04:17.000
Flash, Flash, you gotta do something about that midget. This can't go on any longer.

04:17.000 --> 04:19.000
Calm yourself, Milly. What's wrong now?

04:19.000 --> 04:26.000
I don't mind him saying my beards are fake because it isn't and I can prove it. Josephine and Della can take care of themselves too. But when he starts picking on Enigma...

04:26.000 --> 04:28.000
Oh, you're crazy. He ain't done nothing to Enigma.

04:28.000 --> 04:42.000
Enigma rang his bell a couple of minutes ago. Della heard it too. Four rings for a glass of water. I took it to him and there was Major Tembo pinching him to see if he could get any muscular reaction. Pinching him real hard. Poor Enigma not able to do a thing about it.

04:42.000 --> 04:45.000
Well, I guess it don't hurt Enigma any. He can't feel anything.

04:45.000 --> 04:48.000
Well, it's the idea. You've gotta get rid of Major Tembo.

04:48.000 --> 04:52.000
Look, I'm running Wonderland and Major Tembo's a good crowd pleaser.

04:52.000 --> 04:54.000
Crowd pleaser? What crowd?

04:54.000 --> 04:59.000
Look, Josephine, I'm trying to be nice. I've been taking it on the chin and I've been paying off in spite of it.

04:59.000 --> 05:05.000
Paying off? You think the nickels and dimes you toss at us is paying off? I could make more money digging ditches.

05:05.000 --> 05:08.000
Yeah? Well, that's what you'll be doing if you don't come out of the tent with me and do the Ballyhoo act.

05:08.000 --> 05:10.000
Let Major Tembo do the ballet.

05:10.000 --> 05:20.000
No. Once the towners see him, they won't pay their dough to come inside and look at him. Like with Della, same thing. I tell them she weighs 550 pounds. If they could see, they wouldn't shell out their dough.

05:20.000 --> 05:24.000
Oh, no. You don't put your freaks on the ballet. You and me. We gotta do it.

05:24.000 --> 05:27.000
Major Tembo can do it. Me? I am not.

05:27.000 --> 05:33.000
I never see such a bunch of squirrels. Why I got into this racket, I don't know. Nursing a bunch of slug nutty freaks.

05:33.000 --> 05:38.000
I am not a freak. My talent has amazed the greatest scientists of the continent.

05:38.000 --> 05:39.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Store it, store it.

05:39.000 --> 05:45.000
That midget. He insults us. He pushes everybody around. Let him do the ballet.

05:45.000 --> 05:50.000
I ought to fire you, Josephi. Now get out on that ballet platform before I bust you one.

05:50.000 --> 05:52.000
You better, Josephi. Lash is mad.

05:52.000 --> 05:54.000
What's the matter, Josephi? You jealous of Tembo?

05:54.000 --> 06:00.000
Me? Jealous of that little peanut? Jealous of that wart on the finger of humanity?

06:00.000 --> 06:02.000
Ha ha ha. Don't be ridiculous.

06:02.000 --> 06:09.000
Okay. I'll just use Major Tembo. I'll put him on the ballet and show you how a real freak can draw a crowd. I'll show you what a bum you are.

06:09.000 --> 06:12.000
You think you'll make me cry? He's what I suggest all the time.

06:12.000 --> 06:13.000
Where is he?

06:13.000 --> 06:17.000
I do not keep track of him. The further away from me he is, the better I like.

06:17.000 --> 06:22.000
That's where he'll be. With Moke and Poke. He's got him fighting again. He teases him.

06:22.000 --> 06:25.000
Come on. I'll show him what he can not. A little punk. Come on.

06:25.000 --> 06:32.000
Ha ha ha. That's right, Moke. Hit him in the face.

06:32.000 --> 06:35.000
Don't let him get away with it, Poke. Stretch his eyes out. Go ahead, Moke.

06:35.000 --> 06:37.000
Hey, you. You.

06:37.000 --> 06:38.000
Hi, Flash.

06:38.000 --> 06:41.000
Look, I ought to fold you up and put you in my hip pocket, you little rat.

06:41.000 --> 06:43.000
Aren't you kind of forgetting yourself, Flash?

06:43.000 --> 06:45.000
You want them two idiots to kill each other?

06:45.000 --> 06:50.000
I was just enjoying myself, Flash. Some people have fun one way, some another.

06:50.000 --> 06:53.000
Look, you're doing the ballet with me. Now come on.

06:53.000 --> 06:55.000
Yeah, I know. I heard all about it.

06:55.000 --> 06:58.000
You were eavesdropping on us, listening to what we said.

06:58.000 --> 07:00.000
None of you ever said anything worth listening to.

07:00.000 --> 07:04.000
Some gall you got. Spying on us and not even taking any trouble to deny it.

07:04.000 --> 07:07.000
You think I care what you halfwits think of me?

07:07.000 --> 07:10.000
Listen, Major. You ought to try to get along with the rest of the freaks.

07:10.000 --> 07:15.000
Rest of the freaks? You mean to say you include me in this assortment of malformed monstrosities?

07:15.000 --> 07:20.000
Oh, sure. You ain't a freak. Not much. You're a normal-sized guy. You are.

07:20.000 --> 07:26.000
My dear Tub of Lard, I am a perfectly formed individual, which is more than you can say.

07:26.000 --> 07:29.000
Furthermore, valuable things come in small packages.

07:29.000 --> 07:31.000
Yeah, you're a package, all right.

07:31.000 --> 07:34.000
You... you... you what?

07:34.000 --> 07:40.000
What am I? How'd you like to go back to the Van Arnhem show, Josephi?

07:48.000 --> 07:50.000
Sit down, Della. How are you? Sit down.

07:50.000 --> 07:55.000
Well, I'm afraid of your chairs, Josephi.

07:55.000 --> 07:57.000
Major Timbo's quite a boy, ain't he?

07:57.000 --> 08:01.000
Me? I will break his little neck myself.

08:01.000 --> 08:05.000
You know, Josephi, I keep a file of old Billboard magazine.

08:05.000 --> 08:10.000
I got to wondering what the Major meant about you going back to the Van Arnhem show.

08:10.000 --> 08:11.000
Ah, that...

08:11.000 --> 08:17.000
The story about a sword-swallower on the Van Arnhem show, Josephi, from two years ago.

08:17.000 --> 08:20.000
I... I know nothing about it.

08:20.000 --> 08:27.000
This sword-swallower got into an argument with the boss, and he sort of used one of his swords on him.

08:27.000 --> 08:28.000
Then he let out.

08:28.000 --> 08:30.000
I know nothing about it.

08:30.000 --> 08:32.000
The guy's name was Enright, Joe Enright.

08:32.000 --> 08:34.000
I do not know him.

08:34.000 --> 08:40.000
Kind of funny. Joseph Enright. Joseph E. Josephi.

08:40.000 --> 08:43.000
I'd hate to think I was on a show with a murderer.

08:43.000 --> 08:50.000
If the little walking poison does not quit making such remarks, you will be, Della.

08:50.000 --> 08:55.000
You! What are you doing here? Get out of my tent, you little runt.

08:55.000 --> 08:57.000
You know, he scared me to death.

08:57.000 --> 09:01.000
Don't talk in such a raspy voice, Millie. You don't sound like yourself.

09:01.000 --> 09:05.000
I'm myself all right, and I've taken about enough from you.

09:05.000 --> 09:07.000
I just came in for a little visit, Millie.

09:07.000 --> 09:09.000
I'm not interested in visiting with you.

09:09.000 --> 09:11.000
You're not like yourself.

09:11.000 --> 09:13.000
I'm not like myself.

09:13.000 --> 09:15.000
I'm not like myself.

09:15.000 --> 09:17.000
I'm not like myself.

09:17.000 --> 09:20.000
I'm not interested in visiting with you.

09:20.000 --> 09:22.000
You're not like the rest of these people, Millie.

09:22.000 --> 09:26.000
You're no freak. You're an educated woman. You talk correctly.

09:26.000 --> 09:28.000
If you think you're going to flatter me.

09:28.000 --> 09:31.000
You're intelligent, and that beard of yours is real, Millie.

09:31.000 --> 09:33.000
You actually grew it.

09:33.000 --> 09:36.000
Quite a time getting a beard like that, I bet.

09:36.000 --> 09:40.000
Of course, I know people in the business who'll get a beard started for any woman

09:40.000 --> 09:43.000
who wants to be a bearded lady in the sideshow.

09:43.000 --> 09:45.000
What of it?

09:45.000 --> 09:47.000
You're an outer without any education.

09:47.000 --> 09:51.000
I can understand a person like that going for your kind of a racket, Millie.

09:51.000 --> 09:53.000
But you're different.

09:53.000 --> 09:55.000
Get out of here.

09:55.000 --> 09:57.000
It bothered me for quite a while, Millie.

09:57.000 --> 09:59.000
And I finally tumbled.

09:59.000 --> 10:00.000
Tumbled to what?

10:00.000 --> 10:02.000
Who are you hiding from, Millie?

10:02.000 --> 10:03.000
Why did you run away?

10:03.000 --> 10:05.000
Who are you afraid is going to find out who you are?

10:05.000 --> 10:07.000
Get out of here before I kill you, you little...

10:07.000 --> 10:09.000
You're hiding your face for a reason, Millie.

10:09.000 --> 10:11.000
That beard's a disguise.

10:11.000 --> 10:14.000
Maybe you're right, Major.

10:14.000 --> 10:16.000
You're right, of course I'm right.

10:16.000 --> 10:19.000
If you are, you're not being very smart, are you?

10:19.000 --> 10:22.000
Aren't you likely to get into an awful lot of trouble?

10:22.000 --> 10:25.000
You wouldn't dare do anything to me.

10:25.000 --> 10:28.000
You wouldn't dare because you're hiding from something.

10:28.000 --> 10:33.000
You'll do as I say from now on, Millie, because I've caught you.

10:33.000 --> 10:35.000
The Dollhouse

10:43.000 --> 10:45.000
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.

10:45.000 --> 10:48.000
And now, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I show you I have nothing in my hands.

10:48.000 --> 10:50.000
I have nothing up my sleeve.

10:50.000 --> 10:53.000
And now I present one of the greatest magic illusions of all time.

10:53.000 --> 10:55.000
The Dollhouse illusion.

10:55.000 --> 10:58.000
Here you are, ladies and gentlemen. You see the Dollhouse.

10:58.000 --> 11:00.000
A miniature house hardly big enough to hold a large doll.

11:00.000 --> 11:03.000
I turn it so you can see it from all sides.

11:03.000 --> 11:06.000
Absolutely no trap doors, no concealed spaces.

11:06.000 --> 11:10.000
Now I open the front of the Dollhouse to show you it's absolutely empty.

11:10.000 --> 11:12.000
You see...

11:12.000 --> 11:14.000
Wait a minute. What's going on here?

11:14.000 --> 11:15.000
Giuseppe, quick, come here. Help me.

11:15.000 --> 11:16.000
Something wrong?

11:16.000 --> 11:19.000
Look, it's Major Tembo. All folded up in the Dollhouse with a knife in his heart.

11:19.000 --> 11:20.000
He's been murdered.

11:20.000 --> 11:23.000
Look, Enigma's been right here. Right on the platform next to yours.

11:23.000 --> 11:25.000
And it's as if he hasn't been away.

11:25.000 --> 11:27.000
He'll know who killed Major Tembo.

11:27.000 --> 11:29.000
He saw the murder. He had to see it.

11:29.000 --> 11:31.000
Yeah, that's right.

11:31.000 --> 11:35.000
Enigma. Hey, listen. Enigma.

11:35.000 --> 11:39.000
Enigma, did you know Major Tembo had been murdered?

11:39.000 --> 11:41.000
Once. That means yes.

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
Did you see Major Tembo killed?

11:43.000 --> 11:47.000
Sure. Whoever killed Major Tembo forget all about Enigma.

11:47.000 --> 11:49.000
He sees the whole thing. He knows.

11:49.000 --> 11:50.000
Yeah, maybe he knows.

11:50.000 --> 11:53.000
Enigma, do you know who killed Major Tembo?

11:53.000 --> 11:56.000
Two times. No. He doesn't know who did it.

11:56.000 --> 11:57.000
But if he saw the murder...

11:57.000 --> 12:00.000
Maybe it was done by somebody who is skilled at deception.

12:00.000 --> 12:01.000
A magician.

12:01.000 --> 12:24.000
Look, Josephus. Somebody like you.

12:24.000 --> 12:26.000
Who did kill the midget Major Tembo?

12:26.000 --> 12:28.000
And why did he kill Major Tembo?

12:28.000 --> 12:31.000
Who did kill the midget Major Tembo?

12:31.000 --> 12:33.000
And why can't Enigma tell who did it?

12:33.000 --> 12:36.000
Why didn't he see the murderer when he saw the murder?

12:36.000 --> 12:39.000
We'll find out in the second act of tonight's story.

12:39.000 --> 13:02.000
Meanwhile, here's a brief message from our sponsor.

13:02.000 --> 13:07.000
And now, act two of Malice in Wonderland.

13:07.000 --> 13:11.000
We're back to the tent that houses the Wonderland Circus Sideshow.

13:11.000 --> 13:13.000
The midget's body is still in the dollhouse,

13:13.000 --> 13:15.000
awaiting the arrival of the coroner.

13:15.000 --> 13:18.000
Look at him with that smear on his face,

13:18.000 --> 13:19.000
like he was still hating us.

13:19.000 --> 13:22.000
Well, I guess he must have had a reason to hate somebody, Della.

13:22.000 --> 13:25.000
Well, I ain't sorry he's dead. He was a mean little troublemaker.

13:25.000 --> 13:28.000
You ain't sorry he's dead, huh? Well, I am.

13:28.000 --> 13:30.000
There is nothing to be sorry about.

13:30.000 --> 13:32.000
No? You'll change your mind when the hick cops show up.

13:32.000 --> 13:35.000
They can't do nothing to me. I was not even near.

13:35.000 --> 13:37.000
That's just the point, Giuseppe.

13:37.000 --> 13:39.000
Whether or not you killed Major Tambo don't make any difference.

13:39.000 --> 13:42.000
The little punks got us all in hot water up to our necks.

13:42.000 --> 13:44.000
I don't know how you figure that, Flash.

13:44.000 --> 13:46.000
Look, Della, I wasn't born yesterday.

13:46.000 --> 13:48.000
The midget had something on every one of you,

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000
just like he had on me.

13:50.000 --> 13:52.000
On you? Yeah, on me.

13:52.000 --> 13:54.000
Why do you think I hired the little rat?

13:54.000 --> 13:56.000
Why do you think I didn't kick him in the teeth the first day he was around here?

13:56.000 --> 13:58.000
Because I was afraid of him, that's why.

13:58.000 --> 14:01.000
Then you had a motive? Let it out.

14:01.000 --> 14:04.000
We all had motives. We all got something to hide from the cops.

14:04.000 --> 14:06.000
When they start digging into this business, we're all going to be in trouble.

14:06.000 --> 14:08.000
Bad trouble. Well, I'm getting out of here.

14:08.000 --> 14:10.000
108, you're staying right here.

14:10.000 --> 14:13.000
There's only one thing for us to do and we've got to work fast.

14:13.000 --> 14:16.000
What's that? We've got to find out who the murderer was before the cops get here.

14:16.000 --> 14:19.000
We've got to turn the killer over to them before they start prying into our business.

14:19.000 --> 14:22.000
Enigma, he knows who the murderer is.

14:22.000 --> 14:25.000
He says he didn't know. Well, he can tell us. He saw it.

14:25.000 --> 14:27.000
You do not even know if Enigma has a mind.

14:27.000 --> 14:29.000
You know nothing of him but the tinker of a bell.

14:29.000 --> 14:31.000
Well, it won't hurt to try.

14:31.000 --> 14:36.000
Enigma, did any one of us put Major Tambo into that dollhouse?

14:38.000 --> 14:42.000
Well, that's something. We know it wasn't one of us who killed him.

14:42.000 --> 14:43.000
Well, then...

14:43.000 --> 14:46.000
Just a minute. Did anybody put Major Tambo into the dollhouse?

14:48.000 --> 14:51.000
He says no. You see me? That won't work.

14:51.000 --> 14:54.000
Major Tambo hid in the dollhouse himself.

14:54.000 --> 14:57.000
He was hiding there to spy on us.

14:57.000 --> 15:01.000
All doubled up like he had to be. He could not protect himself.

15:01.000 --> 15:03.000
And somebody killed him.

15:03.000 --> 15:05.000
Did you see who it was, Enigma?

15:07.000 --> 15:10.000
Was Flash near the dollhouse after Major Tambo hid in it?

15:12.000 --> 15:14.000
Yes. Enigma says Flash was there.

15:14.000 --> 15:17.000
Wait a minute. Was Josephine near the dollhouse, Enigma?

15:18.000 --> 15:19.000
He lies. I was not.

15:19.000 --> 15:21.000
And Major Tambo had a knife in his heart.

15:21.000 --> 15:23.000
You're kind of an expert with knives, Josephine.

15:23.000 --> 15:25.000
He's done some work of that kind before.

15:25.000 --> 15:27.000
I'm a Van Arnhem showy.

15:27.000 --> 15:29.000
I would keep my mouth shut if I were you, Della.

15:30.000 --> 15:34.000
Listen, Enigma. Was Della near the dollhouse?

15:35.000 --> 15:36.000
Say, uh...

15:36.000 --> 15:39.000
Well, I guess I'm the only one who wasn't near it then.

15:39.000 --> 15:41.000
So I'll kind of take charge of things.

15:42.000 --> 15:44.000
Was Millie near the dollhouse, Enigma?

15:45.000 --> 15:48.000
You see? He tells us nothing.

15:48.000 --> 15:51.000
I would say... Do you suppose Enigma's a fake?

15:51.000 --> 15:53.000
Maybe Major Tambo knew he was a phony.

15:53.000 --> 15:56.000
You can forget that, Della. Enigma ain't no phony.

15:56.000 --> 15:58.000
He had accident and health insurance.

15:58.000 --> 16:00.000
The insurance company really gave him the works.

16:00.000 --> 16:02.000
Accident and health insurance? Yeah.

16:02.000 --> 16:04.000
Then what's he doing this for?

16:04.000 --> 16:07.000
If he's got dough, why ain't he in a hospital where he belongs?

16:07.000 --> 16:09.000
I... Okay.

16:09.000 --> 16:11.000
That's what Major Tambo had on me.

16:11.000 --> 16:13.000
The show's been losing money all season.

16:13.000 --> 16:15.000
That's where I've been getting the dough.

16:15.000 --> 16:17.000
Cash in Enigma's insurance checks.

16:18.000 --> 16:20.000
I found him when that paralysis was just starting.

16:20.000 --> 16:22.000
I kind of took charge of him.

16:22.000 --> 16:24.000
Major Tambo got into my stuff and found out about it.

16:24.000 --> 16:28.000
So... You are a very noble man, yes?

16:28.000 --> 16:30.000
Praying on a helpless individual.

16:30.000 --> 16:32.000
Well, you ain't so hot yourself.

16:32.000 --> 16:34.000
I never killed anybody anyway.

16:34.000 --> 16:36.000
Ain't you getting into this true confession session, Millie?

16:36.000 --> 16:38.000
You shut your fat mouth.

16:38.000 --> 16:40.000
You think Major Tambo did not know about you, Della?

16:40.000 --> 16:42.000
What are you talking about?

16:42.000 --> 16:43.000
He was just holding back.

16:43.000 --> 16:45.000
He was busy with the rest of us.

16:45.000 --> 16:46.000
You were on his list.

16:46.000 --> 16:48.000
You're lying. He didn't know...

16:48.000 --> 16:50.000
Didn't know what, Della?

16:50.000 --> 16:51.000
Nothing.

16:51.000 --> 16:54.000
Hey, look. Moken pokes cage. It's empty.

16:54.000 --> 16:55.000
It's unlocked.

16:55.000 --> 16:57.000
I'll bet that's some more of Major Tambo's work.

16:57.000 --> 16:59.000
He let him out and they killed him.

16:59.000 --> 17:00.000
What, those two idiots?

17:00.000 --> 17:02.000
Why, they wouldn't be able to figure out how to open the dollhouse.

17:02.000 --> 17:03.000
But we gotta find them.

17:03.000 --> 17:06.000
Why? These stupid imbeciles are not worth hunting for.

17:06.000 --> 17:07.000
They are not.

17:07.000 --> 17:08.000
They could get us into a lot of trouble.

17:08.000 --> 17:10.000
You are already in trouble, Flash.

17:10.000 --> 17:11.000
Yeah.

17:11.000 --> 17:14.000
Well, we gotta get Enigma out of here before the cops start asking too many questions.

17:14.000 --> 17:16.000
Come on, Giuseppe. Give me a hand.

17:16.000 --> 17:18.000
We'll carry his cot back to my trailer.

17:18.000 --> 17:19.000
Not to me, Flash.

17:19.000 --> 17:22.000
If you want him out of here, go ahead and do it yourself.

17:22.000 --> 17:23.000
You mean to say...

17:23.000 --> 17:25.000
I am not looking for a tangle with the law.

17:25.000 --> 17:27.000
Me, I think I will be a bystander.

17:27.000 --> 17:31.000
Oh, so you think you're gonna frame me into getting a rap for the midget's murder, huh?

17:31.000 --> 17:32.000
Well, think again.

17:32.000 --> 17:36.000
I'll tell the cops all about you, you and the Van Arnhem show and the guy that got killed.

17:36.000 --> 17:37.000
Stop it!

17:37.000 --> 17:39.000
You fools aren't careful. We'll all be in jail.

17:39.000 --> 17:42.000
Start trying to get even with each other and we'll all be in trouble.

17:42.000 --> 17:44.000
We've got to stick together.

17:44.000 --> 17:45.000
Stick together?

17:45.000 --> 17:49.000
Stick together? You think I would trust any one of you?

17:49.000 --> 17:50.000
No, I think not.

17:50.000 --> 17:53.000
We waste time. We should all be heading for distant places.

17:53.000 --> 17:54.000
Come back here, you...

17:54.000 --> 17:56.000
Flash! Where'd you get that gun?

17:56.000 --> 17:58.000
Never mind, Dad. Come back, Giuseppe.

17:58.000 --> 18:00.000
You ain't leaving me to take the rap, not on murder.

18:00.000 --> 18:05.000
No? Flash, I do not think you have the nerve to shoot.

18:05.000 --> 18:06.000
I'll show you whether I...

18:06.000 --> 18:07.000
Yes!

18:07.000 --> 18:08.000
Millie, you hit my wrist!

18:08.000 --> 18:09.000
Oh, you fool!

18:09.000 --> 18:10.000
Now we are in for it.

18:10.000 --> 18:12.000
That shot will bring the cops swarming all over us.

18:12.000 --> 18:13.000
You made me miss him.

18:13.000 --> 18:16.000
You couldn't thank me for keeping you from committing a murder.

18:16.000 --> 18:17.000
You idiot.

18:17.000 --> 18:19.000
Yeah, I guess you're right.

18:19.000 --> 18:21.000
Uh-oh, here we go.

18:21.000 --> 18:24.000
That looks like police coming in the front entrance of the tent.

18:35.000 --> 18:38.000
I don't like the idea of your question in this one at a time.

18:38.000 --> 18:40.000
I'd like to hear what's said.

18:40.000 --> 18:44.000
You're nervous, Delia? All they asked me was routine stuff.

18:44.000 --> 18:46.000
What I found, you know.

18:46.000 --> 18:48.000
Giuseppe's been with them quite a while, though.

18:48.000 --> 18:50.000
And I don't trust him.

18:50.000 --> 18:51.000
Here he comes now.

18:51.000 --> 18:53.000
Oh, hello, Giuseppe.

18:53.000 --> 18:56.000
So, you thought you were very smart, Flash, telling the police about me?

18:56.000 --> 18:57.000
I didn't tell them anything.

18:57.000 --> 18:58.000
Who do you think you fool, huh?

18:58.000 --> 19:02.000
Well, they know a lot more now about you, an enigma.

19:02.000 --> 19:03.000
Why, you dirty little...

19:03.000 --> 19:04.000
Flash, please.

19:04.000 --> 19:05.000
I tell them about your gun, too.

19:05.000 --> 19:06.000
How you tried to kill me.

19:06.000 --> 19:07.000
I wasn't trying to kill you.

19:07.000 --> 19:09.000
I just didn't want you to run out.

19:09.000 --> 19:10.000
You want me to screw you...

19:10.000 --> 19:11.000
Stop it!

19:11.000 --> 19:13.000
Who's next, Giuseppe?

19:13.000 --> 19:15.000
They asked to talk to Delia next.

19:15.000 --> 19:18.000
Okay. Wish me luck, everybody.

19:18.000 --> 19:21.000
Yeah. I suppose she'll spill everything she knows, too.

19:21.000 --> 19:24.000
Ha ha. She will be pretty busy defending herself.

19:24.000 --> 19:28.000
What I said about telling the police about you, that was all a bluff.

19:28.000 --> 19:30.000
What? You mean you didn't tell them anything?

19:30.000 --> 19:31.000
Not about you.

19:31.000 --> 19:33.000
I threw all the suspicion on Delia.

19:33.000 --> 19:35.000
I did not want her to know.

19:35.000 --> 19:38.000
But there wasn't anything you could say about Delia?

19:38.000 --> 19:42.000
No. I told them how she hated Major Tambo.

19:42.000 --> 19:45.000
How he knew something about her that had her scared.

19:45.000 --> 19:49.000
And I told them how Delia borrowed one of my knives yesterday.

19:49.000 --> 19:54.000
The same knife we find in Major Tambo's house.

20:03.000 --> 20:06.000
So you think you're putting me on a spot, do you, Giuseppe?

20:06.000 --> 20:08.000
I simply tell the police the truth.

20:08.000 --> 20:10.000
Why, you dirty lion rat.

20:10.000 --> 20:12.000
Tell them I borrowed one of your knives.

20:12.000 --> 20:14.000
Don't you remember that, Delia?

20:14.000 --> 20:17.000
You know darn well I don't remember it. I didn't do it.

20:17.000 --> 20:19.000
But you needn't think you're so smart.

20:19.000 --> 20:20.000
No?

20:20.000 --> 20:24.000
No. I told them all about the Van Arnhem show and the guy who got stabbed.

20:24.000 --> 20:26.000
I really told them.

20:26.000 --> 20:28.000
They got some long distance telephone calls in now.

20:28.000 --> 20:29.000
Why, you devil, you...

20:29.000 --> 20:32.000
Well, what did you think I'd do? Take your lies without fighting back?

20:32.000 --> 20:33.000
I got to get out of here.

20:33.000 --> 20:36.000
Uh-uh, Giuseppe. Your face in the murder ramp anyway.

20:36.000 --> 20:38.000
Looks like you're kind of elected to take this one.

20:38.000 --> 20:41.000
I know nothing about this. The other... it was self-defense.

20:41.000 --> 20:43.000
I can prove it. I had to kill that one.

20:43.000 --> 20:44.000
Why did you run away then?

20:44.000 --> 20:47.000
He had friends. Very bad friends.

20:47.000 --> 20:49.000
It was from them, not Delia I run.

20:49.000 --> 20:51.000
I bet you killed Major Tambo too.

20:51.000 --> 20:55.000
And wouldn't you have fun telling anybody you killed him in self-defense?

20:55.000 --> 20:58.000
Yeah, Giuseppe might have killed Tambo with that.

20:58.000 --> 21:01.000
Enigma says no.

21:01.000 --> 21:03.000
Enigma says no to everything.

21:03.000 --> 21:07.000
He says he saw the murder. He says we was all there at one time or another.

21:07.000 --> 21:10.000
Says he saw Major Tambo going to the Dow House.

21:10.000 --> 21:12.000
And then he says he don't know who stabbed him.

21:12.000 --> 21:14.000
Maybe he's holding something back.

21:14.000 --> 21:17.000
He said yes. He is holding something back.

21:17.000 --> 21:19.000
You fools. Don't you get it?

21:19.000 --> 21:20.000
What are you talking about, Delia?

21:20.000 --> 21:23.000
Enigma knows who the murderer is. He's known all along.

21:23.000 --> 21:25.000
Well, then why...

21:25.000 --> 21:28.000
He didn't want either us or the cops to know. Not too soon.

21:28.000 --> 21:31.000
You mean he did it himself? But that's impossible.

21:31.000 --> 21:33.000
Of course it's impossible.

21:33.000 --> 21:35.000
He didn't want anybody to know who the murderer was.

21:35.000 --> 21:38.000
Because if the murderer was caught, that's all there'd be to it.

21:38.000 --> 21:42.000
The killer'd be turned over to the police and that'd be that.

21:42.000 --> 21:45.000
You got something, Delia. Enigma says yes again.

21:45.000 --> 21:47.000
Of course he says yes.

21:47.000 --> 21:50.000
Enigma wanted every one of us questioned.

21:50.000 --> 21:53.000
He wanted all of us put in a tight place where we talked.

21:53.000 --> 21:57.000
He figured sooner or later the cops would get the story of what Flash has been doing to him.

21:57.000 --> 21:59.000
The way Flash has been robbing him.

21:59.000 --> 22:02.000
Listen, if you think I'm going to let that zombie frame me for this murder...

22:02.000 --> 22:04.000
There's no point to his framing you for murder.

22:04.000 --> 22:07.000
All he wants is to get out from under your control.

22:07.000 --> 22:09.000
I didn't kill him, Edget. I had nothing to do with it.

22:09.000 --> 22:14.000
Just a minute. Enigma, did Flash kill Major Tambo?

22:14.000 --> 22:17.000
You see? He says no.

22:17.000 --> 22:19.000
I don't know nothing about it anyway.

22:19.000 --> 22:24.000
Enigma, if I promise to tell the cops all about Flash and what he's been doing to you,

22:24.000 --> 22:27.000
will you tell us who the murderer is?

22:27.000 --> 22:30.000
I know you don't. Not yet, Delia. You ain't turning me over to the coppers.

22:30.000 --> 22:33.000
Enigma, I promise to tell the cops.

22:33.000 --> 22:37.000
I'll tell them all about the way Flash has been cheating you. It's a deal.

22:37.000 --> 22:38.000
Why, you dirty...

22:38.000 --> 22:41.000
I ain't afraid of you, Flash. Put that gun back in your pocket.

22:41.000 --> 22:46.000
You don't dare shoot. Not with everybody else looking for somebody to pin a murder onto.

22:46.000 --> 22:48.000
I'll tell the cops, Enigma. It's a deal.

22:48.000 --> 22:52.000
Nobody's going to frame me on the testimony of a zombie who can't even talk.

22:52.000 --> 22:55.000
Enigma, was it me who stabbed Major Tambo?

22:57.000 --> 23:01.000
Surprise. You make a deal with him, so he says it wasn't you.

23:01.000 --> 23:03.000
Was it Flash?

23:03.000 --> 23:05.000
Of course it wasn't me.

23:05.000 --> 23:07.000
Was it Millie, Enigma?

23:07.000 --> 23:08.000
Millie!

23:08.000 --> 23:10.000
No, no, I didn't do it.

23:10.000 --> 23:14.000
Shut up! Stop ringing that bell! I should have killed you too!

23:14.000 --> 23:19.000
It didn't seem real to me. Couldn't talk, couldn't move. Didn't think it could hurt me.

23:19.000 --> 23:20.000
I should have killed you!

23:20.000 --> 23:23.000
Get away from me, Millie. Looks like the rest of us kind of need Enigma.

23:23.000 --> 23:28.000
Don't you point that gun at me. I had to kill Major Tambo. Flash, I'm honest, I did.

23:28.000 --> 23:29.000
He found out about me.

23:29.000 --> 23:30.000
Found out what?

23:30.000 --> 23:35.000
I killed somebody too, back five years ago. And it wasn't self-defense.

23:35.000 --> 23:37.000
I killed a man because I hated him.

23:37.000 --> 23:41.000
Nobody should have known, but something went wrong and I had to run away.

23:41.000 --> 23:46.000
There was a fugitive hiding from my pastor. I figured out a perfect way to hide.

23:46.000 --> 23:55.000
A bearded lady in a circus sideshow. Who'd ever think of looking for a beautiful girl masqueraded as a bearded lady?

23:55.000 --> 24:02.000
Nobody but Major Tambo. And I'm glad I killed him. I got even with him.

24:02.000 --> 24:08.000
Yeah, maybe so. But from where I stand, it looks like he kind of got even with the rest of us.

24:08.000 --> 24:22.000
Now cops are going to have a busy day.

24:22.000 --> 24:38.000
