The Shadow - S2E7 - The Man who Murdered Time! (New Years Eve Special)
lanokirx for Mr. Hughes
Mr. Hughes is a dear friend of Lamont Cranston. He recently found out that his Uncle Matthew has passed away, inheriting his wealth. Hughes also got a call from his cousin, Mr. Willard, informing him that he has created a "Time Machine" and how he is dying due to a bad heart. When hughes reaches Willard's house, it turns out that Willard is wanting to kill his own cousin but not only once; but a thousand times with the help of his "time machine"...
I wish I could have made it more Cranston, but it hasn’t
been a terribly good year for me.Oh, I meant to tell you Cranston, I’ll be late. I got a call this morning from a second cousin of mine. Wants me to come and see him this evening. Brilliant scientist but I suspect he’s losing his mind.
[Chuckles] Well I’m from Missouri. Anyway, I’m really going to see my cousin not because of his alleged invention but… [Saddened] Well because he’s dying.
Only a miracle would keep me away Cranston. [Chuckling] A miracle like- [chuckling] like the time machine! [Chuckles]
To… kill me? [Thinking Willard is joking] Wh- why your joking.
Prevent the- the future from happening? Oh, now, now, look Willard, Look, let me call you physician.
[Not believing Willard] You expect me to believe that this day will never end- It’s going to make December 31st repeat itself forever? [Laughs][Panicking] I… I can’t! I’m paralyzed! I- I can’t get out of this chair!
[Panicking, Scared] No- No! [Screams] Help! Help!
[Panicking] Please, please Willard, help me! Help me! I don’t want to die!
