[Lavinia Todhunter]

How do you do?

[Hey Boy]

Was you uncomfortable last night, Missy Todhunter?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I was so exhausted from the trip, I hardly noticed. But I do think I like the accommodation to the Carlton. I never thought we'd be able to get a suite with two bedrooms. It's almost like home.

[Hey Boy]

Why, yes, Missy, Carlton is very nice.

[Miles Todhunter]

Hotel, but it doesn't compare with anything we have in Boston, Lavinia?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Of course not, Miles. But I'm so surprised they have anything at all in this godforsaken country that I'm overwhelmed.

Hey boy. Esau, do you know most of the regular guests who stay here?

Oh, Esau, he boy know many guests.

No, ma'.

My sister and I have heard that he hires his gun, so to speak.

[Hey Boy]

Misa paladin will be happy to tell you what he does. He very good friend of hey boy. You like to meet him?

[Miles Todhunter]

No, no, no. We were just curious. We've heard so much about him.

[Hey Boy]

Would there be anything else?

[Miles Todhunter]

No, that'll be all for now. Thank you very much. Hey boy.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Miles, why don't you want to meet him?

[Miles Todhunter]

Not just yet, Lavinia. We have to go about this very carefully.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Well, we don't have all the time in the world, Miles.

[Miles Todhunter]

I know, I know. Even so, you must have patience.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Don't forget, that lawyer back in boston is looking for him. And if we're too patient, he may locate him before we finish what we came out here to do.

[Miles Todhunter]

You don't have to remind me. Just let me do the planning.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

All right, then. Where do we start?

[Miles Todhunter]

My dear brother, this Hay Boy said Mr. Paladin was unmarried. More than likely, he would be interested in meeting a beautiful young lady from Boston.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, why, thank you, Myers. And then what?

[Miles Todhunter]

You could entrance him, my dear. Get to know him intimately. Oh, and as soon as we know his weak points, and when the time is right, we'll complete our mission.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I didn't realize I was going to play such an important role.

[Miles Todhunter]

You don't object, do you?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Of course not. For a hundred thousand dollars, how could I? Besides, he. He may be very enjoyable company while he's still.

[Hey Boy]

Oh, good morning, Mr. Paladin.

[Paladin]

Good morning, hey boy. Well, the dining room is rather crowded this morning. Did Ms. Todd Hunter come down yet?

[Hey Boy]

Well, Issa, she waiting at your table over there in corner.

[Paladin]

Ah, yes.

[Hey Boy]

You're getting in rough, Mr. Paladin.

[Paladin]

How's that?

[Hey Boy]

This makes for in ro you have breakfast with missy doander.

[Paladin]

She's a very charming lady, hey boy.

[Hey Boy]

Also very pretty.

[Paladin]

Yes, hey boy. I'm taking her on a little tour of the city this morning. Would you Have a carriage waiting for us out front around 9:30, please.

[Paladin]

Hey boy. Good morning, lavinia.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, good morning to you, paladin.

[Paladin]

I hope I didn't keep you waiting.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I didn't mind at all.

[Paladin]

How's your brother today?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, he's much better, thank you. It was just a slight cold. The change in climate, I guess.

[Paladin]

You should have asked him to join us.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I did, but he prefers having breakfast in his room rather than getting dressed.

[Paladin]

Say, I was just talking to hay boy. He'll have a carriage for us at 9:30, and we'll take that ride I promised you.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, wonder.

[Paladin]

We go up to russian hill, over to chinatown, Meg's wharf, and even the barbary coast, if you're brave enough.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Well, as long as you're around to protect me, why should I be afraid of anything?

[Paladin]

That's what I like to hear. You are going to see so many interesting places today, you'll forget you ever knew boston.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, it sounds so exciting. But I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to more than anything else.

[Narrator]

What's that?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Having dinner in your suite tonight. Alone, just the two of us.

[Paladin]

Did we have that planned for tonight?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Yes. Why?

[Paladin]

I have two tickets for the opera tonight.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, no.

[Paladin]

Well, if you really don't want to.

[Narrator]

Go.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I'd much rather keep our original plans.

[Paladin]

Then I'd be the last person to break them. It'll be dinner tonight in my room.

[Miles Todhunter]

Just the two of us.

[Paladin]

Alone.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Paladin, the waiter is here.

[Paladin]

Oh, yes, yes, yes. You wish to order, monsieur.

[Miles Todhunter]

Lavinia? Oh, where have you been all day?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

With paladin. Where else?

[Miles Todhunter]

It's after 5 o'.

[Paladin]

Clock.

[Miles Todhunter]

I was worried about you.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

As long as I'm with him, you needn't be. Oh, he treats me like a queen.

[Miles Todhunter]

Now, you're not becoming infatuated, Miles.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Don't be silly.

[Miles Todhunter]

I'm just testing, that's all.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Then stop it. Granted, he's a handsome, debonair, exhilarating man, But I wouldn't take him in preference to a hundred thousand dollars and you know.

[Miles Todhunter]

All right, all right. Now, what about tonight?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Just as we planned. Dinner in his room at 8. Oh, did you get the brandy?

[Miles Todhunter]

Yes, his favorite kind. And the poison? It's all fixed. I put the poison in the brandy, resealed the bottle. It's ready for delivery.

[Paladin]

Good.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Now, miles, you'd better go over the details again. I don't want anything to go wrong.

[Hey Boy]

All right.

[Miles Todhunter]

Just before you arrive, I'll have the brandy delivered to his room with my compliments for being so gracious to my sister and me during our visit to san francisco. Then, after dinner, he'll open the bottle.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Pour the drinks, and I'll pretend to sip while he slowly drinks. His death.

[Miles Todhunter]

Precisely. And then the coup de grace. To avoid all suspicion, you will leave the room quietly, come back here, and at a late hour, I'll go to his room, undress him, put his body in the bathtub, fill it with water, leave everything as natural as it should be, and return to my room.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

And then tomorrow morning, when I go down to breakfast to meet him, I'll hear the dreadful news. Mr. Paladin drowned in his bathtub last night. I'll be completely distraught, and we'll leave on the afternoon train.

[Miles Todhunter]

A most happy trip back to boston to regain our rightful inheritance.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Miles, you're sure nothing can go wrong?

[Miles Todhunter]

Why should they? This is the way I disposed of his aunt. And this is the way I'll dispose of him.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

That was simpler. She was your wife. You. You were there with her every minute yourself. You didn't have to rely on me to see that she drank the brandy.

[Miles Todhunter]

True. If she hadn't been so stupid as to will her estate to an unknown nephew she hadn't seen or heard from In 30 years, I wouldn't have to go to all this trouble.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Well, it's your own fault. You should have made sure of the contents of that.

[Miles Todhunter]

Well, you know, she assured me I was the only heir. Of course, I never thought to question it.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

You mean to say that during two years of marriage, she never mentioned Paladin or any other possible relative?

[Miles Todhunter]

As far as I knew, she was all alone, with no one to turn to for love and affection. Except her. Dear, dear miles.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I guess she showed you.

[Miles Todhunter]

Well, could have been worse. At least I receive everything after him. She could have left me out of the will altogether.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

That's true. Well, I think I'll get dressed for the evening. This is one engagement I don't want to miss.

[Narrator]

Have a commander, welcome aboard. Have a commander, welcome aboard. The cleaner the tobacco, the better it tastes. The cleaner the tobacco, the better it tastes. Have a commander, welcome aboard. Light into a pack of new king size philip morris commanders. New because the tobacco in them is vacuum cleaned. And the cleaner the tobacco, the better it tastes. Philip Morris commanders are made by a new kind of machine, the Mark 8. That takes rich, full flavored tobacco and gently vacuum cleans it. Try a pack. See what a difference that makes in your smoking pleasure? New king size Philip Morris commanders noticeably better. The cleaner the tobacco, the better it tastes. I'm a commander. Welcome aboard.

[Paladin]

Yeah. Just a minute. Just a minute.

[Hey Boy]

Mr. Piloting.

[Paladin]

Hey boy, come in.

[Hey Boy]

You shaving?

[Paladin]

No, I just finished. What have you got in that bag?

[Hey Boy]

Oh, things you ask hey boy to get. Box of sweets for Misty Todd Hunter. Hey, fancy ribbon, huh?

[Paladin]

Very nice.

[Hey Boy]

And a bottle of brandy.

[Paladin]

Now, let's see that. Yep, your memory is improving, hey Boy. That's the right brand, all right. Now, what else?

[Hey Boy]

And the afternoon mail. And a paper you forget to pick up when you come back from your little tour.

[Paladin]

Anything important?

[Hey Boy]

No. Oh, except maybe big fat letter from Boston.

[Paladin]

Boston? Let me see that. Just put everything on the chest over there. Hey boy. Ah, see? Hey boy, listen to this. And we've had great difficulty tracing you, but we now have assurance from the Pinkerton agency that you are the right party. It is with deep regret that we inform you of the death of your aunt Grace.

[Hey Boy]

And Grace didn't know you had an aunt, Mr. Paladin.

[Paladin]

I didn't either.

[Hey Boy]

Oh. What else does let us say?

[Paladin]

She has left an estate valued at more than $100,000. And according to her last will and testament, you are the rightful heir.

[Hey Boy]

Oh, a hundred thousand dollar.

[Paladin]

May we suggest that you present yourself at our offices as soon as possible? The proper credentials. If we do not hear from you within six weeks, we will fulfill the alternate wishes of said will, and the estate will revert to the only other living heir, her second husband, one Miles Toddhunter.

[Hey Boy]

Todd Hunter.

[Paladin]

Miles ToddHunter. Signed, C.L. glazer Council for the estate.

[Hey Boy]

You're a municipality. Could that be the same Todd Hunter that I guessed he had hotel?

[Paladin]

I don't know. He has the same name. He's from Boston. It's quite a coincidence.

[Hey Boy]

He not ever talk to you about you any, Grace?

[Paladin]

No. I wonder if this really is my aunt. Hey boy.

[Hey Boy]

How could he boy know if you don't?

[Paladin]

Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I vaguely remember my father saying that he had a sister who ran away from home in Illinois when I was just a youngster. Her name was Grace. They'd heard that she had gone to New York, but they never found out for sure.

[Hey Boy]

Well, then, could be same Grace.

[Paladin]

Could be. These attorneys and Pinkerton agents rarely make a mistake.

[Hey Boy]

What you gonna do?

[Paladin]

Well, I think I'll go to Boston.

[Hey Boy]

That's a far long way. When you leave?

[Paladin]

Oh, for a couple of days, maybe. First thing I better do is send a telegram to this lawyer here. Take his name and address. Just say I received his letter that I will be in Boston in the very near future.

[Hey Boy]

Lisa.

[Paladin]

Huh? Miles Todhunter.

[Hey Boy]

You go talk to him, Mr. Paladin.

[Paladin]

I don't know, hey boy. If he's the same one, he would know that I was named in his wife's will, wouldn't he?

[Hey Boy]

Oh, yes, sir.

[Paladin]

He's been very friendly. His sister has been extremely friendly. You'd think that one of them would have mentioned it by now, wouldn't you?

[Hey Boy]

Oh, yes, sir.

[Paladin]

So I see no reason why I should go talk to him. Do you?

[Hey Boy]

No, sir. What about your dinner tonight with me, see? Todd?

[Paladin]

Hannah. Well, there's no need to change our plans, hey Boy. I'm not leaving tonight. We won't start packing until tomorrow. No, I might as well enjoy the evening with missy Todhunter.

[Hey Boy]

Yes, sir. Then, hey boy, better remind chef to have dinner ready by 8 o'.

[Paladin]

Clock. Right. And before you go, will you draw some hot water in the tub?

[Hey Boy]

Yes, sir.

[Paladin]

I'm going to take a relaxing bath and do a little reflective thinking. Your brother was very thoughtful, Lavinia. This is my favorite brandy.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Yes, yes, He. He wanted to show his appreciation for all your kindnesses to us.

[Paladin]

Oh, this is my second glass. And you've. You've hardly touched yours.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I know. I. I like the aroma more than the taste.

[Paladin]

Drink up. It warms the blood.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Well, I. I feel a little too warm as it is.

[Paladin]

Yes, you do seem uncomfortable. Is something wrong?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, no, no, I. I guess it's just the hour. It's getting rather late. We've had a busy day.

[Paladin]

Yes. Now, I wonder who that could be. Excuse me.

[Hey Boy]

Miles.

[Miles Todhunter]

Oh, Paladin, come in. Well, I. I just came by to see if Lavinia was still.

[Paladin]

Here she is. Come here. Come here.

[Miles Todhunter]

You see, it was getting so late.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

That I didn't realize what time it was. Miles.

[Paladin]

Oh, she's a big girl, Miles. You don't have to worry about your sister.

[Miles Todhunter]

I wasn't exactly.

[Paladin]

Oh, I must thank you for the brandy, Miles. Won't you join us and have a glass?

[Miles Todhunter]

No, no, but thank you.

[Paladin]

Nonsense. Sit down.

[Miles Todhunter]

Really, Paladin, I didn't mean to intrude like this.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

You can stop babbling now, Miles. Get your hands up. Paladin.

[Paladin]

What?

[Miles Todhunter]

No. Lavinia, don't shoot him. It'll make too much noise.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I said get your hands up. Paladin.

[Paladin]

All right. It is quite a surprise, Lavinia. I didn't know you carried a derringer in your purse.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Oh, shut up and keep quiet. Well, Miles, your brandy didn't work. What do we do now?

[Miles Todhunter]

Give me a chance to think. What happened with the brandy?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

You probably forgot to put the poison in it.

[Paladin]

Poison?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Yes, Paladin, you should have been dead an hour ago.

[Paladin]

Well, I. I must have opened the wrong bottle.

[Miles Todhunter]

The wrong bottle?

[Paladin]

Hey boy brought me a bottle a couple of hours before yours arrived. They were identical.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Well, Miles, that's something you didn't think of. Why don't I just shoot him and be done with?

[Miles Todhunter]

No, no. We'll be caught before we can get out of here.

[Paladin]

Yes, the shot would wake the hotel Luvin.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

I'd be willing to take the chance.

[Miles Todhunter]

Now, there's no reason why we can't go through with our original plan. Where's the other bottle?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Look in his liquor cabinet.

[Paladin]

You really wouldn't expect me to drink the brandy now, Lavinia.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

If you don't, then I'll be forced to shoot you.

[Paladin]

Either way, I lose, huh?

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Either way.

[Paladin]

Then I think I prefer being shot. Give me the gun. Give it to me. I'll take the gun. Miles. You.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

You shot me.

[Hey Boy]

Miles.

[Paladin]

He's dead. Oh, no. Hey Boy, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you coming all the way over here to oakland with me.

[Hey Boy]

Well, not often you go on such clothes. Long trip, Mr. Paladin? Too bad missy wong couldn't get off work and come with us to say goodbye.

[Paladin]

Yes, she wanted to.

[Hey Boy]

Well, maybe better she not come. She'd be crying big tears on here Boy shoulder all the way back to hotel.

[Paladin]

Here you are, Mr. Peladoon.

[Narrator]

Right on the spot. Thank you, driver.

[Paladin]

There you are. Thank you. Oh, you need help with those bags? No, hey Boy and I can handle them. You will wait for him, won't you?

[Narrator]

Oh, yes, sir.

[Paladin]

And see that he gets back to the carlton.

[Narrator]

You count on me, Mr. Paladin.

[Paladin]

Good. Oh, here, hey Boy. I'll carry the big one.

[Hey Boy]

Oh, all right.

[Paladin]

Let's go. Ah, we want car 14, hey boy.

[Hey Boy]

Well, we. We better hurry, Mr. Paladin.

[Paladin]

That's all right. Got. That's my car right over there.

[Hey Boy]

What we do with these bags?

[Paladin]

I put them in the vestibule. The conductor will take care of them for me. Here we are.

[Hey Boy]

Up they go. There we are. That's it.

[Paladin]

Now, remember, hey Boy, the other trunks are ready to ship. I'll write you and let you know where to send them misa polish.

[Hey Boy]

When will you come back?

[Paladin]

I don't know, hey boy. All depends on how long it takes me to liquidate my aunt's estate. Several months at least then you never know. I may take a liking to Boston and settle down there permanently.

[Hey Boy]

It won't be St. Carlton Hotel while you're gone.

[Paladin]

Oh, now, I've left many times before, Haybourne, you saw.

[Hey Boy]

But this is time. You will not come back.

[Paladin]

Maybe you never can be sure. Just don't forget me. Keep looking for me. I may be back.

[Hey Boy]

Yes, sir. I hope so.

[Paladin]

Oh, and don't forget to send me the San Francisco papers. I want to be sure and follow Ms. Todd Hunter's trial.

[Hey Boy]

Oh, what do you think they do with her?

[Paladin]

Send her to jail for a few years?

[Hey Boy]

Well, you better go, Miss Patty.

[Paladin]

Yes. Now, hey boy, look, if. If you and Ms. Wong decide to get married, give me plenty of notice. I will be back for that.

[Hey Boy]

Oh, we realize. Thank you. I'll let you know. All right.

[Paladin]

Goodbye, hey boy.

[Hey Boy]

Goodbye, Misa. Goodbye.

[Lavinia Todhunter]

Goodbye.

[Paladin]

Goodbye, Misael.
