Hello.Are you guys in charge of this precinct?
Well, hello, bright eyes.
Just a minute.How did you get in?
I walked in. Who is the tough man here?
This is the squad room, son.If you have a complaint, give it to the desk sergeant.No, I don't want to bother him.He's sleeping.Jenkins sleeping?What'll I tell him?You better sit down.Hey, Carsello, he's got a gun.
Yeah, I got a gun.Sit down.
Hey, son, you... you must be crazy.
Maybe.But I think I know what I'm doing.
Well, you... you can't hold up a police station, mister.
There's no dough here.No, no, no, no.Look, son, look.
Keep your hands up. I didn't move.Hey, you.Shove that chair over for me.Yeah, yeah.Okay, mister.Yeah, I... I have a lot to talk about and I... I want to be comfortable.Come to tell you cops a story.
This isn't funny.Just tell you a story and give you a present.How's that?What do you mean, a present?Why, I'm a regular Santa Claus.Going to give you $10,000.Now look. There is $10,000 reward for the kidnap of Peggy Stewart, am I right?
Where is she?Where's the girl?
You forget this gun.You also forget I said I was going to tell you a story first.Sit down, Captain.You mean you're confessing?Yeah.Story of my life.You get plenty of thrills, you know why?Look, son, look.Plenty of thrills.Because my name is Reese.
Joe... Joe Reese.Then you... you killed her.You... you killed her.Oh, so you have heard about me.Yes.Killer Reese.Killer Reese, Captain.Then you admit I got a story.I'm going to tell it in my own way.First things first, last things last.
And Peggy Stewart comes last.
Look, just tell us.Did you kill her, Joe?
I start at the beginning.The beginning when I... when I was born, and don't interrupt.Okay.Okay, we won't interrupt.Because, you see, I think a lot about when I was born.Maybe somebody loved me then.
Maybe when I sucked in my first breath of air and let out a yell.Maybe my mother loved me.Maybe she wished I was dead.She didn't live long enough for me to find out. But after she died, it was like I was just shoved clean out of the world.
Shoved off to an aunt and an uncle who had the meanest, grimiest, stinkiest little souls even you fellows could hope to meet.Yeah.And Ella and Uncle Walter.Oh, they were a pair.Why, they even looked alike.
faces like rotting cabbages and their mean little mouths yapping away in the middle of them.Those two would have eaten the heart out of a saint.But I was so little when I went there, I didn't even know what I was missing.
Until one day, when I was about nine, I found a kitten.A dirty, sick little kitten.
Joe, Joe Rees, what you got there?Just a little cat.How do you speak to me?
I mean, ma'am.We found it down the alley, mother.Back of the fish store.You get it out of here, Joe.You get it out quick.I told you, Joe.Please, ma'am.You hear me?It won't eat much.Please.
You hear me?You get it out of here.Dirty thing.And if I see it again, Uncle Walt will beat the stuff out of you.
ought to kill it.Would, too, but it'd turn my stomach.Now get both of ya.
Yes, Mother.Whatcha gonna do with it, Joe?I don't know.Nothing.We could have some fun, I bet.Tie something to its tail.No.I don't want to.Might as well.We could have some fun.No, I said.Say.Feel.Yeah?What about it?It's buzzing inside. Like machinery.
Oh, that's purring.Purring?Sure.Cats do that when they're glad.It's glad?About what?That it thinks you're gonna feed it.Oh, yes.What do cats eat, Cousin Alex?You ain't gonna keep it.Sure I'm gonna keep it.I'm gonna keep it somewhere she don't know.
You're crazy.I'm not.I'm gonna keep it.It likes me.That's why.Likes you?A cat? Then why is it buzzing, purring?Sure it likes me.Oh, it doesn't.It's hungry.I'll stop it purring.Look.
Watch it when I twist its tail.
No, don't.Hey!Hey, now look what you've done.
See?Now it ain't purring.Joe!Joe, what are you doing to... It clawed me.It clawed me and now it's scared.It clawed me.It's scared now.
You ever feel a kitten?What it's really like?Skinny little kitten.Why, it's nothing but fur, soft, and a head, and its backbone is like a thin string of beads, curled just so.When it's scared, its eyes stare, all one color, and its neck is thin.
Thinner than a match, like a string of beads.Just nothing between your fingers.Just nothing.

For Suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you as star Mr. Peter Lorre in Nobody Loves Me by Herbert Clyde Lewis and Sylvia Richards.Roma Wines' presentation tonight in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense.
Between the acts of Suspense, this is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines. This holiday weekend, millions of Americans will return to the traditional way of observing Labor Day by having friends in for dinner.
That's why Elsa Maxwell makes the most appropriate suggestion.She says, we have good reason to celebrate Labor Day this year.So make your holiday entertaining really festive by enjoying good Roma wine.At dinner, serve Roma, California burgundy, cool.
This splendid wine, so delightful, delicious, distinguished, lends charm and flavor magic to any meal.Yes, as Elsa Maxwell says, you'll enjoy the delicate piquancy and fruity robust taste of Roma burgundy.
Only Roma gives you the goodness of luscious grapes from California's choicest vineyards, gathered at peak of flavor, gently pressed, then unhurriedly guided to flavor perfection by Roma's ancient winemaking skill.
And finally, bottled right at the winery.Roma wines are always unvaryingly good, yet cost only pennies a glass.Remember, because of uniformly fine quality at reasonable cost, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine.R-O-M-A.Roma wine.
And now Roma Wines bring back to our Hollywood Soundstage, Peter Lorre in Nobody Loves Me.A narrative well calculated to keep you in suspense.
Never turn my stomach.It's always easy.Very easy.
Yes, but Joe, where did you leave the girl, Peggy?
Didn't I tell you not to interrupt?I am telling you what I have to tell.Cats first and girls last.I... I sat in the backyard holding the dead kitten and it was soft for a long time.Next day, it was stiff and hard on its fur.
Funny, a kid nine years old even knew about killing, but what I knew caused When I was more than four, I... I saw Uncle Walter kill a chicken.I saw his mean, stringy shoulders jump when he brought the axe down.You know?
That's how I knew because... because watching Uncle Walter, I... I could tell he... he liked to kill.Liked it way down inside of him.And I hated him.
So whenever I killed anything or anybody, after that, I was killing Uncle Walter and everybody like him.I hated him.I hated him till he died.
Joe, come here.Your poor Uncle Walter is passing on and I want you to see him before he goes.Joe.
Don't say a word unless he speaks to you.I won't. Go stand on the other side of the bed.
Oh, listen to the blessed man fighting for his life.Just listen to him.
Yes, I listened.Oh, did I listen.And I only wished he knew he was dying.I wanted to tell him.I wanted to say, you are dying, Uncle Walter.And I'm wishing you dead. That's why I'm strangling the wind out of your turkey neck.
I'm burying a knife in your filthy heart.I am doing it.Me, Joe.
Oh, look at him.I... I think he's going to speak.
Oh, that blessed, saintly man.Joe, you'll never know how much he did for you.You'll never be able to thank him.He's in heaven now.
Don't you understand, Joe?Your poor Uncle Walt is dead.
Then can't you say something?Sure.
Uncle Walter is dead.Fifteen years!Too late for me!One day after that, I mashed a toad under a rock.And there was a white dog I caught in a fence, in a corner, and through stone city, dozens of stones.
Each day I killed one thing, and some things died quick, Some died slow, but I, I always felt the same.I felt good.I found there was room in the world for a bright young fellow like me.There was work to spare for a man who didn't mind killing.
A hundred bucks a job I could get, sometimes more.Hey, pick up that pencil, fatty.Yeah, you, sergeant.I'll give you a list. Well, there was the Bresko brothers.All three of them.A guy named Lyons who was two-timing somebody's wife.
Oh, and that chorus babe, Daisy Mae Marks.Yeah, yeah, yeah.She got her fingers in the wrong pie.Izzy Turnbull, the weasel.An old codger named Haskett.
They called him the... Yeah, yeah, that's enough of them, Joe. Please, where'd you leave the girl?
I'll get around to her.Where'd you kill her, Joe?I am telling this.It's my story.Yeah, yeah, yeah.Sure, sure, Joe.Because it all happened different with Peggy Stewart.See, I wasn't supposed to kill her.
The boys sent me around to case the Stewart house for the kidnapping.It was all I was supposed to do, find out who was in the house and when the girl was alone.Oh, it was a big job.
Why, with her father owning half the state, holding a mortgage on the rest, oh, we expect her to pay off plenty.
I'm looking for work.There's nothing here.
Hello, it is Ryan.And we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we?Just to make up for things like sitting in traffic, doing the dishes, counting your steps, you know, all the mundane stuff.

Or I thought maybe raking the yard, or I can drive.
No, there isn't anything.
Is there anyone else here I could ask?
Forrest?Forrest, who are you talking to?
It's a young fellow, Miss Peggy, looking for work.
Oh, anything, ma'am, anything at all.You see, I'm going to college, and I just want some work for the summer.I have a bad back, so I can't do anything heavy.
Oh, I see. Well, maybe we have something.I'll ask my father.Let's pick.Father isn't home right now, but if you want to wait... Oh, sure, sure, I'll wait.You can come inside, Mr... Sanders.
Well, come in, Joe.Horace was about to give me my lunch.Maybe you'd like to eat with me.
So for more than an hour, I was on the inside, looking out, just for once. It did things to me.That room, all sunshiny where we ate, blue dishes, the food cooked in little dabs, and so good.I was just boiling with hate.
I couldn't look at her, at the girl, or talk.She didn't seem to notice what was happening to me.That's what really got me.She didn't once look scared.Hey, you. You ever see Miss Piggy?She's little.All curved and little and bright and soft.
Even her voice is soft.I'd never known anybody like her except people in books I read in a modern library, you know.I couldn't take it.I want to make her like the other girls I'd known.Make her get that look in her eyes.
I've been thinking.Aren't you scared?
Being alone like this with a fellow you don't even know?
I don't know.Lots of girls think I am.There must be something in it.
No, no, I don't mean it that way.
Well, if you are, I think you're a nice wolf.The nicest I know.
It's not what I mean.Anyway, you just don't know me.
It's funny.I feel like I do.I feel I've known you for a long time.What's the matter, Joe?
Nothing.Nothing is the matter.Guess I better be going.
But aren't you going to wait for father?He'll be here pretty soon.
No, I guess I better not wait.But you said you... You see, I just remembered I... I got to be someplace at two o'clock.
Oh, well, if you come back tomorrow, I... That's it.
Yes, I'll come back tomorrow.
Maybe that'll be even better.I can talk to father tonight about you.Then I'm sure he'll give you a job.
Sure, you do that.That'll be swell.
But you will come back.Promise?
Oh, sure, sure.I'll come back. I couldn't figure it out, how a girl like her could be with me and not be scared.And after I practically warned her too, you can see how I tried to warn her, but she just looked at me, at my eyes, my eyes!
And hers stayed just the same, blue and soft, like she was looking at anyone. There is killing in my eyes.Lots of killing.Well, anyone can see that.But then, then it hit me.I had to make her scared.
I had to get her to look at me in that beautiful, naked way from back deep in her head.Her blue eyes, all glazed, all over, all one color. Well, I... I got my car out and drove back to her house.
It was night already, and there were lights on, and windows were open, and this time I went right to the front door.
I'll go, Father.What... What, Joe?
Well, did... did you come to see Father tonight?I haven't talked to him yet.
No, I... I came to see you.
Sure, don't you remember?I came back, like you said.I'm going to take you away.
Yes, see?Now you're getting that look.Now you're beginning to look at me the right way.Don't, Joe.
No, no, I'm not hurting you, Peggy. Not much yet.Just enough so you'll look up at me like something in a trap.You won't hurt much more when I kill you.When you... Joe!Joe, please!That's what I said, when I kill you.
I dumped her in the front seat.And after I got the car in high, she didn't move anymore.She sat there with her big eyes. staring at the road.I didn't talk anymore.I thought fast and I drove fast.I thought how it was going to be, killing her.
And I was still sinking when we got to the hideout.Huh?Where it is?Oh, it's up in the mountains and I like it there.It's nothing but a shed, Someone had a house there once and there are still lilac bushes and roses.Lots of roses.
When I lifted her out of the car to carry her into the shed, I could smell the lilacs.There was just enough moon to see her face.
You don't have to carry me.I can walk.
Just the same, I carry you. That's part of the fun for me.You don't want to spoil my fun.
What difference does it make?
Then don't ask so many questions.You won't see much of it anyway.Okay.Inside.Walk straight ahead and stand still.
I got a candle. There.Now get over there and sit down.
Yes, on the floor.What do you want?All the comforts of home?Of your beautiful, clean, bright, wonderful home?Why don't you tell me what you want?
Joe, what's the matter?What did I do to you?
Nothing.You did nothing to me.Then why are you... Why, Joe?Go on, say it.Why am I going to kill you?Yes. It's a very foolish question.I got to kill you.
I got to talk to you, watch your eyes, and tell you a lot of things.I got to hold you.
I got to know how you feel before you die.Hold you like this.Do you love me, Peggy?Do you?Love you?Sure.That's what I asked.
Of course not. Of course I don't love you.
You see?Nobody loves me.Nobody ever loved me.Maybe a cat once.Everyone hates me, Peggy.
But I don't hate you either.
Say, that's funny.I just thought of something.You know what?
No, this is important.Listen.It's this way.I used to live here in the shack weeks sometimes and I'd read books.Oh, good books. Modern Library.Do you know about him?
Well, you can get any book, and it's only a book.It's less than a book, the best, see?
So I read something by a man who he has called Oscar Wilde.And he says, each man kills the thing he loves.See, in a modern library, each man kills the thing he loves.Maybe that's what I am doing.
No, Joe.You don't love me.
You don't get it.Like I said, nobody loves me, but I get love anyway.I get something like love because when I start to kill you, Peggy, there won't be anyone else in the world for you.But to me, no one else will matter.
And then your eyes, they'll get shiny. so shiny and they'll blaze and the blue will spread out.That's why I'm going to kill you, Peggy.Oh, it'll be so easy.There won't be anything in them but me.
All I got to do is take your neck in my hands like this. Hey, Peggy, I'm going to kill you.You heard me say that.I'm going to kill you now.Why don't your eyes... Poor Joe.
You've been hurt.You've been terribly hurt.Poor Joe.
Well, that's it.But where did you leave the body, Joe?What are you talking about?
After you killed her.Who said I killed her?Why, you said that you... Listen, you bonehead.That's what it's all about.That's why I came in here, to give myself up. See?See, nobody ever loved me except that cat.
And when he got scared, he clawed me, and I had to kill it.But Miss Piggy, she wasn't scared.
Miss Piggy looked at me, and into me, and through me, and she knew what I was.Rotten.But she said, poor Joe, to me. I figured it was as close as I'd ever get to love.Oh, I figured it was enough.Go ahead, answer it, Sergeant.
I guess that's her father saying she's home.Oh, and then you can lock me up, Captain.I need sleep.I am dead for sleep.
Roma Wines have brought you Peter Lorre, a star of Nobody Loves Me.Tonight's study in Suspense.
This is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines, the sponsor of Suspense.Visiting friends in the family car is once again a popular American custom.And as Elsa Maxwell said just last week, be prepared when people drop in unexpectedly.A smart way to entertain
A sure way to cool off and delight your guests is to serve refreshing Roma wine and soda.A frosty cold iced drink that really quenches thirst.
Yes, and Roma wine and soda made with distinguished Roma California Burgundy or Sauternes is quick and easy to make.Just half fill tall glasses with good Roma Burgundy or Sauternes.Add ice cubes, sparkling water, and a bit of sugar.
and for a decorative touch, garnish with cherries or fruit.Here's another delightfully different taste treat.Try Roma sweet vermouth, well chilled.A delicious aperitif.
Zestful, full-flavored Roma vermouth is blended and developed with all the traditional winemaking skill of Roma wineries.It's made and bottled in the heart of California's famous vineyards, yet surprisingly low priced.
Try Roma Vermouth soon, won't you?
This is Peter Lorre.I want to remind you to be sure not to miss next Thursday's suspense show.It will be a repeat performance by popular demand.Sorry, wrong number.
That's the famous radio play about the woman on the telephone, in which Miss Agnes Moorhead gives such an overwhelming performance.
Peter Lorre appeared through the courtesy of Warner Brothers and will soon be seen in their production Three Strangers.
A word from our government.Despite the lifting of some restrictions, travel is still tight in many parts of the country and over many railroads used for the armed forces.Play safe by staying off crowded trains during the coming Labor Day holiday.
Next Thursday, you will hear Agnes Moorhead as star of Suspense, radio's outstanding theater of thrills.
Presented by Roma Wines, R-O-M-A.Made in California for enjoyment. throughout the world.This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
