WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.000 And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in... 00:07.000 --> 00:08.000 ...Suspense. 00:08.000 --> 00:14.000 In a moment, Act One of Run Faster, written especially for suspense by Lois Landauer. 00:14.000 --> 00:31.000 Funny how a guy can have all the ingredients for happiness. 00:31.000 --> 00:34.000 Still want things that are wrong for him. 00:34.000 --> 00:38.000 The whole time I was in the hospital after flying in Korea, 00:38.000 --> 00:43.000 I kept telling myself how wonderful it'd be when Chris and I got married. 00:43.000 --> 00:48.000 A little white house and a simple, happy life. 00:48.000 --> 00:52.000 I got my discharge and we had the house and the simple life. 00:52.000 --> 00:54.000 Too simple. 00:54.000 --> 00:59.000 The range station where I got a job was on a small emergency landing field. 00:59.000 --> 01:04.000 So I was supposed to dub along tower work for emergency landings. 01:04.000 --> 01:06.000 Only there weren't any. 01:06.000 --> 01:11.000 Bill, my relief man, and my brother Dink lived with us. 01:11.000 --> 01:18.000 Dink didn't know beans about flying, but he got the same charge I did, just being around it. 01:18.000 --> 01:22.000 He was over at the field the night the big fog moved in. 01:22.000 --> 01:28.000 Chris was fixing the supper I took on the midnight shift. 01:28.000 --> 01:30.000 Do you think two sandwiches will be enough? 01:30.000 --> 01:31.000 Sure. 01:31.000 --> 01:34.000 I'd better put in a piece of cake. You didn't eat much dinner. 01:34.000 --> 01:36.000 No, sandwiches will be enough. 01:36.000 --> 01:39.000 Well, I'll just put it in. You can't tell, you might get hungry. 01:39.000 --> 01:41.000 But sandwiches are enough. 01:41.000 --> 01:43.000 What's the matter, darling? 01:43.000 --> 01:45.000 Nothing's the matter. 01:45.000 --> 01:46.000 Is it the fog? 01:46.000 --> 01:49.000 What's the fog got to do with me? 01:49.000 --> 01:53.000 I don't know. You just act so funny every time the weather's like this. 01:53.000 --> 01:55.000 Wait a minute. 01:55.000 --> 01:56.000 What's the matter? 01:56.000 --> 01:58.000 Hold it, hold it. 01:58.000 --> 02:00.000 Just a plane, dear. 02:00.000 --> 02:03.000 I thought he was in trouble for a minute. 02:03.000 --> 02:05.000 Oh, Bill's on duty. He'd take care. 02:05.000 --> 02:09.000 Yeah, Bill always gets him. But do I? 02:09.000 --> 02:12.000 I sit in that shack night after night and what happens? 02:12.000 --> 02:14.000 Nothing. 02:14.000 --> 02:16.000 Is that so important? 02:16.000 --> 02:22.000 Important? You think I made a sawdust? 02:22.000 --> 02:24.000 Married life getting you down, Dave. 02:24.000 --> 02:26.000 Oh, for crying out loud. 02:26.000 --> 02:28.000 I guess it must be pretty dull after Korea. 02:28.000 --> 02:29.000 I didn't say that. 02:29.000 --> 02:31.000 You're thinking it. 02:31.000 --> 02:35.000 All right, so I like a little excitement once in a while. Is that so terrible? 02:35.000 --> 02:37.000 No. 02:37.000 --> 02:40.000 I guess we're just different, that's all. 02:40.000 --> 02:42.000 It's not that. 02:42.000 --> 02:43.000 What then? 02:43.000 --> 02:49.000 You wouldn't understand. You weren't there. 02:49.000 --> 02:51.000 Darling. 02:51.000 --> 02:53.000 Well? 02:53.000 --> 02:56.000 Maybe if you got away from planes. 02:56.000 --> 02:59.000 Chris, I don't want to get away from planes. 02:59.000 --> 03:01.000 That job is still open in Clinton. 03:01.000 --> 03:02.000 No. 03:02.000 --> 03:04.000 We could afford to build our own house in town if you took it. 03:04.000 --> 03:06.000 What's wrong with this house? 03:06.000 --> 03:10.000 Nothing, but we're so far away from everything. 03:10.000 --> 03:12.000 What do you mean far? 03:12.000 --> 03:16.000 Clinton's only two hours away and there's Bill and Dink. 03:16.000 --> 03:18.000 Dink should have young people. 03:18.000 --> 03:21.000 You've still got a few years left, Grandma. 03:21.000 --> 03:24.000 Anyway, he likes it here. Look at all the time he spends over at the field. 03:24.000 --> 03:28.000 Oh, honey, that brother of yours would like anything you did. You know that. 03:28.000 --> 03:32.000 If you'd get this flying bug out of your system, Dink would probably get over it too. 03:32.000 --> 03:34.000 I don't want to talk about it. 03:34.000 --> 03:37.000 But it's true, Dave. I hate to keep harping on it. 03:37.000 --> 03:40.000 Then don't. 03:40.000 --> 03:42.000 Are you about finished with those sandwiches? 03:42.000 --> 03:45.000 You still have half an hour. Bill overslept this morning. 03:45.000 --> 03:48.000 Yeah, but he asked me to relieve him early. 03:48.000 --> 03:51.000 He has a big date in Clinton tonight. 03:51.000 --> 03:53.000 Oh, Dave, that's not fair. 03:53.000 --> 03:54.000 What's the difference? 03:54.000 --> 03:59.000 Well, of course it doesn't matter to Bill the hours he keeps. He has no wife waiting around at home. 03:59.000 --> 04:03.000 I think he's being very inconsiderate. This is the third time this month. 04:03.000 --> 04:08.000 Look, I want to get over to the airport. Do you mind? 04:08.000 --> 04:12.000 The thermos is on the sink. You can fill it. 04:12.000 --> 04:15.000 I just washed it. Oh, Dave! 04:15.000 --> 04:18.000 All right. I broke it. Is that so tragic? 04:18.000 --> 04:19.000 Oh, here it is. 04:19.000 --> 04:23.000 Yeah, I know. If we lived in town, we could get one of the corner drug stores. 04:23.000 --> 04:26.000 In town? You wouldn't have a job where you take midnight suppers. 04:26.000 --> 04:30.000 Well, we're not in town. We're living where planes come in and go out. You understand? 04:30.000 --> 04:34.000 You might have to bust a thermos bottle to get some excitement. I'll bust one every five minutes. 04:34.000 --> 04:37.000 How do you like that? 04:45.000 --> 04:48.000 The fog was thick and getting thicker. 04:48.000 --> 04:52.000 Before I'd gone a dozen yards, our house was a shapeless blur behind me. 04:52.000 --> 04:58.000 Then it was gone. I thought of Chris alone back there, cut off from the world. 04:58.000 --> 05:02.000 I felt like a great A-heel for acting up like that. 05:02.000 --> 05:05.000 Bill cut out as soon as I got to the shack. 05:05.000 --> 05:13.000 Dink's wheelchair was close to the radar panel as usual, but there wasn't a blip inside as usual. 05:13.000 --> 05:18.000 Something wrong? No, it's the same old stuff. 05:18.000 --> 05:20.000 Chris, huh? Yeah. 05:20.000 --> 05:23.000 Well, as far as she's a woman, Dave. I guess so. 05:23.000 --> 05:28.000 It's not so hot for her. Bill sure isn't any company for her when he's not on duty. 05:28.000 --> 05:35.000 He's either sleeping around on a date, and with you sleeping days, it really isn't much of a deal for her out there. 05:35.000 --> 05:38.000 Especially with a cripple like me around to slow things up. 05:38.000 --> 05:42.000 I'm nuts. I think I'll check Mercury. 05:42.000 --> 05:48.000 Midland Radio calling LA. Mercury Airlines. This is Midland Radio. You there, Hank? 05:48.000 --> 05:52.000 This is Mercury Airlines. You're on early, aren't you, Dave? 05:52.000 --> 05:57.000 Yeah, Bill's giving the Clinton girls a break. Hey, what's with this thick stuff? 05:57.000 --> 06:02.000 It hasn't hit out here yet, but we're expecting it. What's your ceiling? 06:02.000 --> 06:05.000 Oh, about 400 feet. It's dropping fast, though. 06:05.000 --> 06:10.000 Better watch it. Army fields west of you aren't landing anyone without zero-zero cards. 06:10.000 --> 06:14.000 Yeah? Well, maybe I'll have company. 06:14.000 --> 06:17.000 Could be. 06:17.000 --> 06:19.000 Dave, someone's coming. 06:19.000 --> 06:26.000 Well, I don't want anybody to have any tough flying, but it'd be good having a plain land here for a change. 06:26.000 --> 06:27.000 Dave. 06:27.000 --> 06:31.000 Hold it a minute, Hank. Kidd Brothers trying to say something. 06:31.000 --> 06:36.000 Oh, hi there. Can I do something for you, mister? Talk to you later, Hank. 06:36.000 --> 06:37.000 Something wrong, Dink? 06:37.000 --> 06:40.000 No, no, I'll call you back. 06:40.000 --> 06:44.000 The doctor took me by surprise. I didn't hear your car. 06:44.000 --> 06:48.000 Wasn't none. You run out of gas? 06:48.000 --> 06:50.000 That's right. 06:50.000 --> 06:57.000 Well, walking's no fun in that mess. Have a seat. My name's Dave Cawthon. This is my brother Dink. 06:57.000 --> 07:00.000 What's this place? 07:00.000 --> 07:04.000 This is Midland Rain Station, Dawson Field. 07:04.000 --> 07:06.000 I didn't see no planes. 07:06.000 --> 07:09.000 You wouldn't see planes here on a clear night. 07:09.000 --> 07:11.000 We're just an emergency field. 07:11.000 --> 07:14.000 Just you two, huh? 07:14.000 --> 07:16.000 Real cozy, just me and my... 07:16.000 --> 07:19.000 You live here? Here in the station? 07:19.000 --> 07:22.000 No, no, my place is about a mile down the road. 07:22.000 --> 07:24.000 You're married? 07:24.000 --> 07:25.000 Sure am. 07:25.000 --> 07:27.000 Dink here lives with us. 07:27.000 --> 07:30.000 Yeah, we sail in that little White House tomorrow AM. 07:30.000 --> 07:34.000 There'll be the neatest stack of flapjacks waiting you ever saw. 07:34.000 --> 07:37.000 You got any gas? 07:37.000 --> 07:40.000 Sure have. We have a pump in the front yard. 07:40.000 --> 07:42.000 That's your house, huh? 07:42.000 --> 07:45.000 You got enough in your tank to get down the road a mile? 07:45.000 --> 07:47.000 Oh, uh... 07:47.000 --> 07:53.000 Don't move. Maybe it ain't gas even, but don't move. 07:53.000 --> 07:56.000 Uh-huh. Wait a second. 07:56.000 --> 08:00.000 Let's see. What are you doing? 08:00.000 --> 08:01.000 What's that thing? 08:01.000 --> 08:03.000 This is state phone book. I'll put a number here. 08:03.000 --> 08:04.000 What for? 08:04.000 --> 08:08.000 Clinton Gables Games Garage. Here it is. 08:08.000 --> 08:12.000 Clinton 25... What are you gonna do, huh? 08:12.000 --> 08:14.000 Calling a tow car for you. 08:14.000 --> 08:19.000 No need to walk all that way to the pump and back in this weather if there's something wrong with your car. 08:19.000 --> 08:20.000 No. 08:20.000 --> 08:24.000 Well, it may not even be as long as I said. 08:24.000 --> 08:26.000 They usually have calls now. 08:26.000 --> 08:28.000 Don't call nobody, see? 08:28.000 --> 08:32.000 There's no trouble. What was that number again? Let me see. Clinton Garage. 08:32.000 --> 08:35.000 Hey, what are you... Give me that. Come on, hey. 08:35.000 --> 08:38.000 What are you... Don't do it. 08:41.000 --> 08:42.000 Try using it. 08:42.000 --> 08:44.000 Torton 2. 08:44.000 --> 08:48.000 Now, where's that pump at? 08:48.000 --> 08:50.000 Down the road a mile, huh? 08:50.000 --> 08:51.000 Dave. 08:51.000 --> 08:54.000 It's all right, Bill's there. 08:54.000 --> 08:56.000 Here's a can, mister. 08:56.000 --> 09:02.000 There's no need to ask at the house about using the pump. You just help yourself. 09:02.000 --> 09:04.000 About a mile, huh? 09:04.000 --> 09:07.000 That's right. In the front yard. 09:07.000 --> 09:09.000 Why should I lie to you? 09:09.000 --> 09:11.000 All right. 09:11.000 --> 09:16.000 One mile, White House, front yard. 09:16.000 --> 09:19.000 Boy, a real sweetheart, huh? 09:19.000 --> 09:21.000 Yeah. 09:31.000 --> 09:33.000 Chris. 09:33.000 --> 09:35.000 Chris, hello. 09:35.000 --> 09:37.000 Hello. 09:37.000 --> 09:39.000 Operator. 09:39.000 --> 09:42.000 I was talking to my wife, Operator. You cut us off. 09:42.000 --> 09:43.000 No, sir, I didn't. 09:43.000 --> 09:46.000 Well, look, will you ring her again, please? Hurry it up, please. 09:46.000 --> 09:49.000 All right. Hang up and I'll call you back. 09:49.000 --> 09:51.000 I wouldn't worry Dave. He was just a screwball. 09:51.000 --> 09:53.000 Yeah. 09:53.000 --> 09:56.000 Come on, Operator, ring. 09:56.000 --> 09:59.000 I wish there was some way I could get home now. 09:59.000 --> 10:02.000 If it was a clear night, I'd take a chance covering for you, but... 10:02.000 --> 10:04.000 I don't know the first thing about radar. 10:04.000 --> 10:06.000 Hello, Chris? 10:06.000 --> 10:12.000 Operator, your line at home is out of order. We're working on it now, sir. The trouble is at this end. 10:12.000 --> 10:15.000 That's swell. He's at the house with Chris. 10:15.000 --> 10:18.000 Well, how long will it take, Operator? 10:18.000 --> 10:22.000 I do not know. Five minutes, an hour maybe. Hard to say. 10:22.000 --> 10:24.000 Oh, yeah. 10:24.000 --> 10:27.000 Will you get me Sheriff Grover? 10:27.000 --> 10:29.000 Did something happen? 10:29.000 --> 10:32.000 No, I'd like to speak to Sheriff Grover. Do you mind? 10:32.000 --> 10:37.000 The line is busy, sir. Want me to keep trying? 10:37.000 --> 10:43.000 Yes, please. I've got to warn Chris about that character. 10:53.000 --> 10:57.000 Each time I'd look at my watch, only seconds had passed. 10:57.000 --> 10:59.000 It seemed like hours. 10:59.000 --> 11:02.000 Something was happening. Hank didn't usually call me. 11:02.000 --> 11:06.000 Mercury Airlines calling Midland Radio. You there, Dave? 11:06.000 --> 11:08.000 This is Midland Radio. What's up, Hank? 11:08.000 --> 11:12.000 I want to know if you've heard from our flight 535 out of L.A. 11:12.000 --> 11:14.000 Negative. Why? Are they in trouble? 11:14.000 --> 11:18.000 I don't know. They haven't reported in over an hour. 11:18.000 --> 11:23.000 Hmm. 535's not due over here. Think they're off course. 11:23.000 --> 11:27.000 Can't say. They didn't report over Downsville or Little Falls. 11:27.000 --> 11:29.000 What's his altitude? 11:29.000 --> 11:34.000 That's just it. We're not sure. He was cleared out of here at 8,000. 11:34.000 --> 11:40.000 But with the weather doing tricks out your way, he may have been trying to contact us for a change in his flight plan. 11:40.000 --> 11:44.000 Better stick close, boy. A lot of people in that thing. 11:44.000 --> 11:46.000 You reading me, Dave? 11:46.000 --> 11:48.000 No, I'm not going anyplace. 11:48.000 --> 11:52.000 You should have gone to Clinton with Bill. I hear they're having plenty of excitement over there. 11:52.000 --> 11:57.000 We heard some mental patient walked out of the big state hospital over there yesterday. 11:57.000 --> 12:03.000 Um, Hank, I've got a call that may be your 535 now. 12:03.000 --> 12:05.000 I hope you're right, Dave. 12:05.000 --> 12:06.000 I better catch it. 12:06.000 --> 12:11.000 Mercury Airline, Flight 535 calling Midland Radio. Come in, Midland. 12:11.000 --> 12:15.000 Aircraft calling Midland Radio. Repeat your identification, please. Go ahead. 12:15.000 --> 12:20.000 535, Mercury Airlines. Do you read me, Midland? Go ahead. 12:20.000 --> 12:26.000 Midland Radio to Mercury 535. LA has been looking for you, buddy. What's your problem? 12:26.000 --> 12:31.000 Well, it beats me, Fabby. Trying to get through for hours in a descent of 5,000. 12:31.000 --> 12:36.000 I need landing clearance quick. Estimate 15 minutes more fuel and that is all, brother. 12:36.000 --> 12:43.000 535 from Midland. We're reporting present weather of 200 feet overcast, visibility half a mile dropping. 12:43.000 --> 12:49.000 Altimeter setting 290.83. Wind from the northwest at 5. 12:49.000 --> 12:50.000 Over. 12:50.000 --> 12:56.000 Ouch. Report me in LA with him. See you in 15 minutes. Over, pal. 12:56.000 --> 12:58.000 Will do. 12:58.000 --> 13:01.000 Midland Radio calling LA. 13:01.000 --> 13:04.000 LA, Mercury Airlines. You hear anything, Dave? 13:04.000 --> 13:08.000 Yep, just now, Hank. I'll bring him in here in about 1330. 13:08.000 --> 13:13.000 Good. Now if you can just pick up that lost mental patient, we'll give you a merit badge. 13:13.000 --> 13:17.000 Patient? Oh, yeah. There's no weather for a sick man. 13:17.000 --> 13:19.000 What's wrong with him? 13:19.000 --> 13:20.000 His hands. 13:20.000 --> 13:21.000 Hands? 13:21.000 --> 13:24.000 Yeah. He's a strangler. 13:24.000 --> 13:33.000 I sat there staring into the thick muggy night. 13:33.000 --> 13:36.000 Chris might be alone with a killer and I couldn't go to her. 13:36.000 --> 13:39.000 Because of an SOS I'd been waiting for all these months. 13:39.000 --> 13:45.000 Chris only a mile away. Heavy stuff outside seemed to crawl in the room as we waited. 13:45.000 --> 13:48.000 Not talking, just smoking and listening. 13:48.000 --> 13:53.000 I knew any minute the plane might call, but I wasn't thinking of planes now. 13:53.000 --> 13:58.000 I wanted that phone to ring. I had to know about Chris. 13:58.000 --> 13:59.000 Yes, sir? 13:59.000 --> 14:01.000 Operator, how about my phone? 14:01.000 --> 14:02.000 Sir? 14:02.000 --> 14:04.000 My phone, is it fixed yet? 14:04.000 --> 14:06.000 I told you I'd let you know, sir. 14:06.000 --> 14:09.000 Well, what about the sheriff? 14:09.000 --> 14:11.000 The sheriff? Oh, yes, sir. 14:11.000 --> 14:15.000 The line's still busy. 14:15.000 --> 14:17.000 Break in on him. 14:17.000 --> 14:20.000 He's talking to Harry Waller. I can't just bust in. 14:20.000 --> 14:23.000 Cut in on him, operator. It's important. 14:23.000 --> 14:27.000 Well, all right, but he's going to be sore. 14:27.000 --> 14:31.000 Sheriff Grove? 14:31.000 --> 14:34.000 Get off this line, operator. Can't you see I'm talking? 14:34.000 --> 14:36.000 I'm very sorry, sir. I tried to tell him. 14:36.000 --> 14:39.000 Sheriff, this is Dave Cawthon. I don't care who this is. 14:39.000 --> 14:41.000 You ain't got no cause to be butting in. 14:41.000 --> 14:44.000 Sheriff, I'm in trouble. I've got to have some help fast. 14:44.000 --> 14:46.000 There was a man here, sheriff. 14:46.000 --> 14:47.000 What about him? 14:47.000 --> 14:49.000 Well, I think it's the strangler they're looking for. 14:49.000 --> 14:51.000 Clinton? He there now? 14:51.000 --> 14:55.000 No, that's just it. He's gone to the house and Chris is there alone. 14:55.000 --> 14:57.000 How do you know he was a strangler? 14:57.000 --> 15:00.000 Well, with the way he acted, and his hands. 15:00.000 --> 15:03.000 He tore my state telephone book in half. 15:03.000 --> 15:07.000 Now, son, just cause a man strong enough to do that don't mean he's a criminal. 15:07.000 --> 15:11.000 Well, he is the strangler and my wife is alone. 15:11.000 --> 15:13.000 You've got to do something, sheriff. 15:13.000 --> 15:16.000 Ah, okay, okay. I'll take a run over there. 15:16.000 --> 15:19.000 Oh, thanks a lot, sheriff. Right away, huh? 15:19.000 --> 15:22.000 Sure. But don't you worry now, son. I'll be there in half an hour. 15:22.000 --> 15:25.000 Half an hour? That'll be too late. 15:25.000 --> 15:27.000 Sonny, my old bus only goes so... 15:27.000 --> 15:30.000 But sheriff, a half an hour he could be there now. 15:30.000 --> 15:32.000 Hmm. 15:32.000 --> 15:37.000 Meantime, why don't you call Lon Miller? 15:37.000 --> 15:41.000 Operator, would you get me Lon Miller? 15:41.000 --> 15:44.000 But Mr. Miller's on your circuit, sir. 15:44.000 --> 15:45.000 What are you talking about? 15:45.000 --> 15:47.000 His line is out of order, the same as yours. 15:47.000 --> 15:52.000 Mercury 535 calling Midland. Come in, Midland. 15:52.000 --> 15:55.000 Midland 535. 15:55.000 --> 16:00.000 Pull up. Pull up, 535. Execute missed approach immediately. 16:00.000 --> 16:05.000 Mercury 535 to Midland. Low frequency radio is out. 16:05.000 --> 16:07.000 Unable to locate outer marker. Over. 16:07.000 --> 16:10.000 535, pull up fast. 16:10.000 --> 16:13.000 Pull her up. Pull her up fast. 16:13.000 --> 16:32.000 The big ship just missed the shack by a few feet. 16:32.000 --> 16:36.000 The open windows rattled and papers were wild all over the place. 16:36.000 --> 16:40.000 An airliner full of people hovering only a few's length from me. 16:40.000 --> 16:45.000 And Chris a mile away. 16:45.000 --> 16:49.000 And suddenly a blip showed up on the radar. He was close. 16:49.000 --> 16:51.000 Mercury 535 going Midland radio. 16:51.000 --> 16:55.000 Namers 1500 feet. Ready for landing instructions. Fuel almost out. Over. 16:55.000 --> 16:58.000 Midland to 535. Make a 90 degree turn to your right. Acknowledge. 16:58.000 --> 17:03.000 535 to Midland. 90 degrees to the right. Roger. Over. 17:03.000 --> 17:08.000 Midland to 535. We have a target at five miles southwest of the field. 17:08.000 --> 17:13.000 Take a heading of 040 degrees and remain at 1500 feet. Over. 17:13.000 --> 17:19.000 535 to Midland. Holding at 1500 feet. Over. 17:19.000 --> 17:24.000 535 still with you.

Come on. 17:40.000 --> 17:43.000 Hold the line, man. I think you talk to him. 17:43.000 --> 17:49.000 535 to Midland. Request position. Where are you? Over. 17:49.000 --> 17:52.000 Midland to 535. You're at two miles. Over. 17:52.000 --> 17:55.000 Is she all right? Is Chris all right? Are you sure? 17:55.000 --> 17:56.000 Midland, come in. 17:56.000 --> 18:01.000 Midland to 535. You're one mile from touchdown. Over. 18:01.000 --> 18:04.000 Dink, answer me. Is Chris OK? 18:04.000 --> 18:07.000 Come on now, operator, huh? 18:07.000 --> 18:13.000 535.

You're now one quarter of a mile from touchdown. 18:42.000 --> 18:45.000 Set your flaps before intercepting the glide path. 18:45.000 --> 18:52.000 You're now approaching the glide path. Your heading should be 300 degrees. 18:52.000 --> 18:57.000 Adjust your rate of descent to 600 feet per minute. 18:57.000 --> 19:05.000 535. You are now on the glide path. Glide path is very good. 19:05.000 --> 19:08.000 You're tracking on the center of the runway. 19:08.000 --> 19:16.000 Here he comes. You're on the center line. You're on the glide path. Approach is very good. 535. 19:16.000 --> 19:21.000 Touchdown in three seconds. Center line very good. Glide path very good. 19:21.000 --> 19:24.000 Continue approaching. Be hard. A little more. A little more. 19:24.000 --> 19:29.000 You're on the glide path. You're on the glide path. 19:29.000 --> 19:33.000 You're on the ground. Take over visually. Over and out. 19:33.000 --> 19:35.000 I'll give you that phone, Dave. 19:35.000 --> 19:37.000 Operator. Operator. 19:37.000 --> 19:38.000 Yes, sir. 19:38.000 --> 19:39.000 Operator, what happened? 19:39.000 --> 19:42.000 I told the other gentleman the whole thing, sir. 19:42.000 --> 19:43.000 What? What? 19:43.000 --> 19:46.000 And your phone has been fixed, but I can't get any answer. 19:46.000 --> 19:48.000 Well, you must not have been trying, did you? Did you try? 19:48.000 --> 19:51.000 I wasn't trying for pity's sake. Maybe your wife ain't there. 19:51.000 --> 19:54.000 Are you crazy? Of course she's there. 20:04.000 --> 20:11.000 I couldn't see five feet in front of me, but I knew I was going to Chris and I could have done that blindfold. 20:11.000 --> 20:15.000 The blood was pumping in my head and pictures straight through the fog curtain. 20:15.000 --> 20:19.000 Chris with dark bruises on her throat. Chris with her mouth going slack. 20:19.000 --> 20:21.000 Chris. Chris. 20:21.000 --> 20:28.000 There was a light on. I saw it in the dim outline of the house and then I was on the porch. 20:28.000 --> 20:30.000 Right through the door. 20:30.000 --> 20:36.000 She was standing with her back to me by the table and moving slowly around the end of it by the sprangler. 20:36.000 --> 20:40.000 He had Chris's scarf in his hands. And that's all I saw as I rushed at him. 20:40.000 --> 20:41.000 Dave! 20:41.000 --> 20:42.000 No! No! 20:42.000 --> 20:45.000 You don't understand, Dave! 20:45.000 --> 20:47.000 Let me go! 20:47.000 --> 20:51.000 Stop! Stop it! You're choking me! 20:51.000 --> 20:55.000 Look, look, the scarf! You got your scarf. Look, soft. I see you. 20:55.000 --> 21:00.000 Soft. Your scarf. It belongs to you. 21:00.000 --> 21:11.000 Soft. My scarf. It's silky. Soft. You, you, you okay? 21:11.000 --> 21:12.000 Yes, yes. 21:12.000 --> 21:16.000 You're a nice lady. Soft. 21:16.000 --> 21:17.000 Dave! 21:17.000 --> 21:19.000 Are you alright, baby? 21:19.000 --> 21:21.000 Oh, Dave! 21:21.000 --> 21:22.000 Dave! 21:22.000 --> 21:25.000 I know, honey. It's alright. 21:25.000 --> 21:32.000 Hold me tight. I'm so glad you got here. I don't know how much longer I could have held out. 21:32.000 --> 21:34.000 You were fine. 21:34.000 --> 21:44.000 I tried to be gentle. He liked the scarf, so I gave it to him. I don't know why I should have been afraid. He was just like a child. 21:44.000 --> 21:51.000 All he wanted was gentleness and yet something about him. I was scared. 21:51.000 --> 21:53.000 It's alright, baby. 21:53.000 --> 21:59.000 Oh, darling. I wanted you here so much in the excitement I forgot I could hurt you. 21:59.000 --> 22:01.000 What did you say? 22:01.000 --> 22:02.000 I said in the... 22:02.000 --> 22:08.000 Excitement? Yeah. I guess that's what it was, alright. 22:08.000 --> 22:12.000 That's what you wanted. Wasn't it, Dave? 22:12.000 --> 22:19.000 No, honey. That's what I thought I wanted. I'll call the hospital. 22:24.000 --> 22:28.000 Suspense. 22:28.000 --> 22:34.000 You've been listening to Run Faster, written especially for suspense by Lois Landauer. 22:34.000 --> 23:03.000 Suspense is produced and directed by Fred Hendrickson.
