00:13 Tales of Tomorrow.
00:16 [Music]
00:20 Presented by Jock Chrysler.
00:23 [Music]
00:37 Yes, Chrysler, who brings you tomorrow's watch band styles today.
00:42 Look for this Chrysler display in the windows of 10,000 jewelers from coast to coast.
00:48 It features Chrysler's new Monte Cristo watch bands for men and Chrysler's new jeweled watch bands for women called flirtation.
00:58 And speaking of flirtation...
01:01 [Music]
01:05 This is how they did it in the days of Madame Pompadour.
01:08 She was the greatest beauty of her day and the biggest flirt too.
01:11 Yes, flirtation has always been part of romance and fascination.
01:16 So these fascinating new Chrysler watch bands for women are well-named flirtation.
01:21 Never have watch bands been so beautifully designed.
01:24 For now, they have the jeweled look that makes them look high fashion.
01:29 This flirtation watch band, for example, uses the ageless beauty of genuine hand-carved cameos.
01:36 This one gleams with a jeweled sparkle of baguette rhinestones and a truly classic design.
01:42 And here is a third flirtation watch band, richly jeweled with individually set round rhinestones.
01:48 Notice, all these styles are expansion bands.
01:51 You slip them up out of the way in a flash.
01:53 So convenient, so comfortable.
01:55 And every flirtation watch band comes in this graceful gift package.
02:00 Ask your jeweler to show you flirtation, the band that adds the new jeweled look to your watch.
02:06 The price to get this flirtation watch band is only $10.95, less than many bands without jewels.
02:12 So make your watch look better than new with Chrysler.

03:05 Hathaway? Tim Hathaway?
03:07 What do you want?
03:08 I'd like to talk with you.
03:10 This hour of the night?
03:11 Mind if I close the door?
03:16 Jethro. Will Jethro. 24th Precinct.
03:20 You're a cop.
03:21 I was in trouble a little while ago over at the Clover Club.
03:24 Somebody shot a woman.
03:26 I was sent here to investigate.
03:27 Investigate? Me? It's none of my business.
03:32 I think it is, Hathaway.
03:34 What are you saying? What are you trying to tell me?
03:36 What's it got to do with me?
03:38 We got a description of the man who did the shooting from an eyewitness.
03:42 Fits you to a T.
03:44 Okay, Hathaway. You want to talk about it?
03:47 No. I want a drink. I want to talk about it.
03:51 Look, I'm only trying to do my job. Don't make it tough.
03:55 Everybody's always trying to do a job.
03:58 Why don't you start off by telling me who the woman was?
04:03 I'll tell you. The woman I shot was my wife.
04:09 Sit down. Okay.
04:13 It's a long story. Starts five, six years ago.
04:17 You want a drink? No, thanks.
04:19 You better have one.
04:21 Because when you hear what I've got to say, you're going to need it.
04:25 Sure.
04:27 Sure, my wife was an angel.
04:30 That's why I had to kill her.
04:35 We've got the wrong idea of angels, my friend. They're not good.
04:41 That's why I had to kill her before she killed me.
04:47 Yes, we were married four years.
04:51 I was about 40. She was 35.
04:55 We were pretty happy, I always thought.
04:58 And then one evening, something strange happened.
05:04 That's how it all started.
05:07 [phone ringing]
05:14 Tim? Tim, darling?
05:18 I'll be there in just a minute, dear.
05:20 Come and help me with these buttons. I can't reach them.
05:22 Hang on, I'll be right there.
05:28 Oh, darling.
05:30 Monsieur Le Messiaen.
05:32 He will certainly be happy when he gets that out-of-the-way cocktail.
05:36 Back here, darling.
05:38 There we are.
05:43 Did you get it? Thank you, sweetie.
05:45 Anytime at all, pet, anytime. Would you like to try a sample?
05:48 No, thank you. I don't want to be on my face before Jack.
05:51 Well, he probably wouldn't notice it.
05:53 He would think he was in his office and start taking pictures.
05:58 You feel all right?
05:59 Never better.
06:00 You sure there's no pain?
06:01 Oh, I can't even feel anything. Don't worry, darling.
06:03 It couldn't have been a broken rib. It healed too fast.
06:05 No, but Jack told me the x-rays he took.
06:07 Yes, I bet any money that he made a mistake.
06:10 That's probably why he wants to bring over the new set, the ones he took today.
06:13 He wants to apologize. Oh, darling, did you feed Jack?
06:16 Oh, yes, yes. I fed the puppy.
06:19 Now, dear, hurry up, will you?
06:21 I want you to sample this and tell me if there's enough vodka.
06:25 Oh, there's Jack now.
06:27 Oh, Tim, you go, will you?
06:28 All right.
06:33 And here's the doctor.
06:35 Hello, Tim.
06:36 Well, how are you feeling, Jack?
06:38 Pretty good, and you?
06:39 Oh, top. Say, let me have your coat and hat.
06:41 Here, take this, will you?
06:43 You'll get into that at the way I will, huh?
06:48 Say, what is this?
06:50 It smells like an operating room.
06:51 You're supposed to drink it, not sniff it.
06:54 Say, old Sawbones is here, dear.
06:57 Say, I'll go and get some more ice. She'll be right out.
07:01 Hello, Jack. How nice of you to come.
07:03 Hello, Joanna.
07:04 Well, doctor, what's the verdict? Shall we amputate?
07:07 We may have to amputate, but it'll be the M.D. at the end of my name that's coming off.
07:11 What?
07:12 Joanna, you had yourself a very bad fall on the sidewalk Saturday, and you broke a rib.
07:19 I have x-rays to prove it.
07:21 And, you know, you don't argue with x-rays.
07:25 I'm not arguing, Jack.
07:26 Well, I am.
07:28 Yesterday was Monday, and I took more x-rays, remember?
07:30 Yes.
07:37 No break, no fracture, nothing.
07:39 So?
07:40 Joanna, it just isn't possible for a normal human being to sustain a broken rib on Saturday,
07:46 and then find no evidence of that broken rib on the following Monday.
07:49 Jack, is it possible for a doctor to get hold of the wrongs instead of cake?
07:52 Oh, now, Joanna, please.
07:54 I'm only asking, Jack.
07:56 Well, it's possible.
07:57 There we are, ready for the plunge.
08:00 Did you get enough ice, darling?
08:01 Oh, yes, plenty, dear.
08:02 Of course, I have my doubts about this, but...
08:04 Oh, it'll be all right.
08:26 Gentlemen, don't mind me.
08:27 I think I'll be turning in.
08:28 Well, I have to be running along pretty well pretty soon myself, so...
08:31 Oh, how about a nightcap?
08:33 All right, Jack, sure.
08:34 All right, dear?
08:35 Oh, yes, of course.
08:37 Good night.
08:38 Good night, Joanna.
08:39 Good night, sweetie.
08:41 Good night, darling.
08:46 I wanted to wait until she'd gone to bed.
08:48 I know it's very late, but this is important, Tim.
08:51 This x-ray business with her broken ribs.
08:54 Oh, what about it?
08:56 This is serious, Tim.
08:57 Let me get these plates, huh?
08:59 I'll show you what I mean.
09:03 Now, this is the picture that I took the day of the accident.
09:06 You see the break?
09:08 Sure.
09:10 Well, now, this is the print that I took yesterday.
09:14 The same Joanna, same position, same rib.
09:17 Two days later.
09:18 What do you see?
09:20 Oh, it's not broken.
09:21 Right.
09:22 It's completely healed.
09:24 Not a scratch, not even any evidence of a fracture.
09:27 I tell you, Tim, that it's things like this that makes a fellow study his pictures more closely than ever.
09:32 And believe me, I've studied these very, very closely.
09:35 That's how I happened to discover these other things.
09:39 Oh, what other things?
09:40 Her heart, for instance.
09:42 You remember a year ago, Joanna came to me for a checkup?
09:44 Yeah.
09:45 I took an electrocardiograph and took some x-rays.
09:47 Her heart was perfectly normal.
09:50 Now look.
09:51 A heart only half the normal size.
09:55 It's unbelievable.
09:57 And her appendix.
09:59 Look at it.
10:00 I can't see it.
10:02 It isn't there, Tim.
10:06 You mean she has no appendix?
10:08 That's right.
10:09 But she had one a year ago, and she's had no appendectomy.
10:12 No, she hasn't.
10:13 She has no scar.
10:15 No appendix.
10:17 A heart half the normal size and a rib that knits in two days.
10:23 Tim, there's something medically strange about Joanna.
10:27 Very strange.
10:29 [music]
10:54 Oh, I thought you'd be asleep, dear.
10:56 Jack gone?
10:58 Yes.
10:59 He tells me that your broken rib is mended perfectly.
11:02 Yes, he told me.
11:04 What else was he saying?
11:05 Oh, nothing.
11:06 We just talked.
11:07 Just talked?
11:08 Yes.
11:09 Well, it's not important, dear.
11:10 Just a lot of nonsense about your heart getting smaller, your rib
11:14 mending so fast, something about your appendix.
11:16 Tim, sit down.
11:17 Sit down.
11:18 We've got to talk about something, Tim.
11:22 I didn't intend for you to find out so soon.
11:25 Find out what, dear?
11:27 How can I make you understand?
11:30 Tim, I'm-- I'm changing.
11:35 I was afraid that Jack would notice something when I went to him
11:38 about the broken rib.
11:39 I sort of hoped he wouldn't.
11:41 But perhaps it's better that we talk about it now.
11:44 What are you trying to say, dear?
11:46 Tim, I'm changing.
11:47 I'm changing in many ways, not just the size of my heart,
11:50 my appendix, other things that even Jack doesn't know about.
11:53 That's the part of it, but only a small part of it.
11:57 I've discovered things about myself, things that are sometimes strange,
12:03 sometimes even frightening.
12:05 I can-- Tim, I can do things I don't think anybody else can do.
12:12 I can control objects.
12:15 I can make things move, in other words, Tim.
12:18 Oh, Anna, in heaven's name, stop saying things like that.
12:21 Please, darling, you must be ill.
12:23 No, I'm not.
12:24 Now, look, dear, you're exhausted.
12:25 You're worn out.
12:26 Let's pack up and go away tomorrow.
12:27 No, no, no, I must show you.
12:28 I must show you, Tim.
12:31 Tim, look.
12:35 Look.
12:37 Look.
12:38 I must be seeing things.
12:55 But what is it?
12:56 What is this?
12:57 Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me.
12:58 I have the power to do lots of things other people can't do.
13:01 That's what I'm trying to explain to you.
13:03 I think that I'm becoming an entirely new kind of human being.
13:10 I'm developing every day.
13:12 I'm learning things.
13:13 I'm growing stronger.
13:14 It's almost as if I were just growing up, reaching maturity.
13:19 Tim, look in the top drawer of the bureau.
13:22 Go ahead, please.
13:24 Please.
13:26 While you're away during the day, I'm studying.
13:29 I'm learning new things.
13:30 I'm working.
13:32 The elastic impact of the mesons, living guideposts of the past.
13:36 John, I'm making nuclear fission as a source of power.
13:39 Yes, can't you see that I have an intellect that's developing and advancing, just as my other powers are?
13:46 This is frightening.
13:48 I can't understand it here.
13:50 What about us?
13:51 What is all going to lead to?
13:53 I don't know.
13:54 Already I've grown beyond you.
13:58 A few months, a few weeks, even.
14:00 Then you have to stop it, dear.
14:01 I can't stop it.
14:02 I can't stop it.
14:03 Can you expect a plant to stop growing?
14:05 Can you make it go back into a seed?
14:07 I can't help it.
14:09 I'm becoming a different being.
14:12 Oh, my darling, I can't take you with me.
14:14 I can't take you with me.
14:15 Darling, I love you.
14:16 I love you.
14:18 I love you with all my heart.
14:21 But soon that love will change.
14:25 It'll be the kind of love that we have for Champ.
14:28 The sort of love you have for a lower species.
14:32 Oh, forgive me, my darling.
14:34 I don't want that to happen.
14:35 I couldn't bear it.
14:37 So I...
14:39 I think...
14:41 I think we'd better make the break now.
14:43 Oh, no.
14:44 Yes, yes, yes, while we have the right memories.
14:46 Pleasant memories, not bitter ones.
14:47 Can you understand that, my precious?
14:50 I...
14:51 I wanted it to take longer.
14:54 But now you found out too soon, we'd better face it.
14:58 But now, leaving you still hurts.
15:04 It hurts very much.
15:06 Before we go back to our tale of tomorrow,
15:23 let's take a look at yesterday.
15:25 Let's go back to the days of swordsmanship
15:27 and the famous Count of Monte Cristo.
15:32 On guard!
15:33 Defend yourself!
15:35 Remember Monte Cristo,
15:36 famous swordsman on the field of honor?
15:38 Now Chrysler glorifies the sword of Monte Cristo
15:41 in one of its new Monte Cristo watchbands for men.
15:45 Inspired by the royal crests of old,
15:47 each of these Chrysler watchbands
15:49 carries a fabulous coat of arms.
15:51 Choose your favorite.
15:53 Here is the Fleur de Lis crest,
15:55 the emblem of nobility.
15:57 And here is the symbol of kingly splendor,
16:00 a royal crown.
16:02 Then there is the costly jewelry look,
16:05 sparkling rhinestones on rich simulated onyx.
16:08 And in all Chrysler bands,
16:10 super calibrated seven-coiled springs
16:12 for extra expansion and flexibility.
16:15 Each Monte Cristo watchband is packaged
16:18 in Chrysler's unique pistol box.
16:20 Best of all,
16:21 Chrysler's new Monte Cristo watchbands
16:23 cost no more than many ordinary watchbands,
16:26 only $12.95.
16:28 Go to your jeweler.
16:29 Buy the Monte Cristo.
16:31 Make your watch look better than new
16:34 with Chrysler.
16:37 [music]
16:50 Quite a story.
16:52 Quite a story.
16:54 The next morning,
16:56 the morning after the doctor paid us his visit,
17:00 she was gone.
17:02 Just like that?
17:03 Just like that.
17:04 What did you do?
17:05 What could I do?
17:06 I had no one to turn to.
17:08 I couldn't expect anyone to believe me.
17:12 What about the doctor?
17:14 Did you talk to him?
17:16 I tried.
17:18 What's the use?
17:19 He's a medical man.
17:20 The only thing that interested him
17:21 were the physical changes.
17:23 You said it was five years ago that she left him.
17:26 But tonight...
17:27 Well, I saw her a year later.
17:29 You did? How?
17:30 Oh, I kept waiting, hoping,
17:33 reading newspapers.
17:35 I didn't know exactly what I was looking for,
17:37 but something told me that
17:39 one day I'd find something.
17:42 And then, one day, I did.
17:45 The picture was blurred.
17:51 The name was different.
17:53 But something seemed to tell me it was Joanna.
17:57 It couldn't be anyone except Joanna.
18:00 Even though the paper said she was only 20 years old.
18:05 I took a plane to Berkeley, California.
18:10 (plane engine roaring)
18:14 Joanna!
18:38 Tim!
18:39 Sit down and be quiet.
18:41 I know Mary Ann Parker is here.
18:42 Joanna, you've come back to me.
18:44 You've got to come back to me.
18:45 Don't be silly.
18:46 I've explained it all to you.
18:48 I can't understand that, dear.
18:49 All I know is that I love you and I want you with me.
18:52 Tim, don't.
18:53 Darling, it was all a trick, wasn't it?
18:55 Tell me it was a trick.
18:56 The statuettes, the x-rays.
18:58 You were angry about something you wanted to get away from.
19:00 But that's all past, dear.
19:02 Come back to me.
19:03 It wasn't a trick.
19:04 Look at me.
19:05 Look at me, Tim.
19:06 Am I the same?
19:08 Of course you're the same.
19:11 You're no different.
19:12 You're no different to me.
19:13 I am.
19:14 I'm changing every day.
19:15 Now I know why this is happening.
19:17 I know what it's leading to.
19:19 I'm the first of a new race, a new kind of being.
19:24 I don't understand all that.
19:25 All I know is that I love you.
19:29 You mustn't shout like that.
19:31 Nobody knows about me here.
19:32 Nobody must know until everything is ready.
19:35 Oh, Joanna.
19:36 Tim, wait.
19:38 Where are you going?
19:39 I'm going to get my coat.
19:40 You can't talk here.
19:41 I'll be back in a moment.
19:42 Joanna, wait.
20:04 Wait.
20:06 Joanna.
20:09 Joanna.
20:10 Well, I guess I will have that drink.
20:21 Broom Plaza, huh?
20:28 It disappeared through the wall, you figure?
20:31 You tell me.
20:33 Did you see her again?
20:35 Not for four years.
20:39 Not for four years, you say?
20:43 But I heard from her, though.
20:45 Oh?
20:46 She wrote to you?
20:47 No.
20:48 No, I kept reading newspapers and scientific periodicals.
20:53 I kept this scrapbook.
20:55 You see, every once in a while, I'd read about an invention by some young woman scientist.
21:00 I knew always that it was Joanna.
21:03 Some new discovery in the field of radiation.
21:07 Now, for example, you take this.
21:10 I knew that that was Joanna.
21:12 And over here is that electronic telescope.
21:15 It all led to the same thing.
21:16 I kept track of it.
21:18 Joanna, somewhere in the world, working, growing, developing.
21:23 I couldn't forget her.
21:27 Four years passed, and then tonight I saw her again.
21:33 I suppose I've been growing despondent over losing Joanna, drinking too much.
21:39 I even thought of killing myself.
21:42 I bought a gun.
21:44 But I guess you'd say I was on the skids.
21:47 But I kept thinking it would suddenly be all right again.
21:51 That I'd come in the house one evening and Joanna would be there and it would be like old times.
21:57 Tonight I went to the Clover Club.
22:00 Lately I've been going there more and more frequently.
22:04 But tonight, as I walked in, my heart almost stopped.
22:09 There she was.
22:10 More beautiful and radiant than ever.
22:14 It was as if she had come back after all.
22:17 This horrible nightmare was over.
22:21 My Joanna was mine again.
22:24 Warm and beautiful.
22:27 Right in front of me.
22:29 Joanna.
22:39 Joanna, darling.
22:40 Don't touch me.
22:41 Joanna.
22:42 You've come back to me.
22:44 I'm waiting for someone else.
22:45 Go away and leave me alone.
22:46 Joanna, darling, I still love you.
22:49 Can't we forget these past five horrible years and begin again?
22:53 Don't be ridiculous.
22:55 We're a different species now.
22:58 I'm not of your kind anymore.
23:00 Go away.
23:01 Joanna.
23:02 You're nothing to me.
23:03 Nothing.
23:05 My time...
23:07 Our time to rule is coming soon.
23:11 Sooner than even I realized.
23:14 You've been listening.
23:16 You've been listening.
23:23 Joanna.
23:24 Joanna.
23:39 You've...
23:40 I have to go.
23:41 You've killed him.
23:43 He heard us.
23:45 But you...
23:46 You killed him in cold blood.
23:48 Why?
23:49 He might have told others.
23:51 We're not ready yet.
23:52 I can't wait.
23:54 So you decide just like that.
23:57 You destroy just like that.
23:59 You're not human.
24:01 You have no feelings for me or for anyone.
24:05 You've got too much power, Joanna.
24:09 There's no one to stop you.
24:11 Get rid of anyone who stands in your way.
24:14 You're ruthless, hard, cold.
24:16 That's what you are.
24:17 A menace, a terror.
24:19 Heartless, godless.
24:22 Jim.
24:23 No one is safe while you live.
24:26 And you ran all the way home after you shot him?
24:38 You didn't stop anywhere?
24:40 No.
24:41 No, I came right home.
24:44 I suppose it's murder.
24:47 I'd call it execution.
24:50 She was my wife, but she wasn't human anymore.
24:54 She could have made the world unfit to live in.

25:20 You're wrong, Hathaway.
25:22 Wrong?
25:23 Joanna is still alive.
25:26 What?
25:27 Your bullets couldn't possibly harm Joanna.
25:30 She's alive and she's waiting for me.
25:32 Waiting for you?
25:33 Just as she was waiting for me tonight when you interfered.
25:38 When I interfered?
25:39 Yes.
25:40 You see, she's not the only one.
25:43 Between Joanna and me, the new race will begin.
25:49 What are you saying?
25:51 Are you trying to tell me that you...
25:54 Me, Hathaway.
25:56 Me.
25:57 Me.
25:58 Our secrets got to be kept a little while longer.
