It's a glorious night for Monday night football in the mid-state as the Titans welcome Monday night football to Nissan Stadium for the first time in four years. Hanna Hill gives Henry on the right side. There he goes. He's a gentleman. 76 yards! Derek Henry! Touchdown! Looking hit as he throws ball up in the air. Intercepted fire! Gives Henry on the left side to the 10, to the 5, to the end zone! Touchdown! Titans! It's a short week. Titans have to get ready to play again on Sunday against the Kansas City Chief. So filling in for Mike Vrable. Coach Dave McGinnis, you picked the right week. I can't quit smiling. I mean this is so great. I'm glad to be here. Titans beat Buffalo 34 to 31. Let's take a look at Mike Vrable's six pack. Let's get right to the plays. Second quarter Titans down six to nothing. You're saying when are they going to get some offense? How about now? Now this explosive play. You know explosives are big in this league. Only back in the league you can count on for an inside zone handoff being an explosive. We are witnessing history with this guy and look at the blocks. Let's give a lot of credit to this blocking unit. But this dude, he is eating stripes right there. It's not even fair when he gets out like that. This is beautiful. 76 yards on the play for Derek Henry. Before that the Titans had 24 yards of total offense. They needed a jump start. They got it. It's 13 to 10 later in the second quarter when the defense provides a jump start. Coach McGinnis? Yes sir. Let's look at this. Let's watch Kevin Byrd. He's got a GPS to the ball. Ball is in the air. This is really a nice catch because the back that they were throwing it got tipped. It got tipped. The back was trying to play defense. Kevin Byrd went up and make a great hands catch. Watch him go up with both hands and just charge it and go. He didn't wait for it. He didn't sit and wait for it. He went and got it. This was a huge, huge play. Danico Autry hits Josh Allen's arm. Byrd with the catch returns it to the 11 yard line. The Titans get a run on first down that takes them down to the four yard line. Everybody thinks on second down it's going to be Derek Henry. Surprise. Well, yeah. Look, this offense really did a nice job mixing this stuff up because this is a good defense. And look, let me tell you something about Ryan Tannehill. We talk about Titan Tough. As Ashley Farrell said, this is Tannehill Tough. This is outstanding and the great finger roll call by you. This guy, you can count on him no matter how hard it gets. This is beautiful. So the Titans at this point take the lead. They trail 20 to 17 at halftime, 23 to 17 as they play in the third quarter. They're driving. They know they need points. And Coach Mack called it on Titans Radio. Said you got to go on fourth down and the Titans convert a huge fourth in two. Yeah, they got half of it. And then right here, this is a really nice shot here. This is a bang eight shot over the middle. And the thing is, this is timing and also you've got to be able to make a combat catch. Look at the combat catch that number 11 makes. And he really, really came alive this ball game, Mike. You were talking about it in the second half. Big part of this second half, A.J. Brown. Seven catches for 91 yards all in the second half for A.J. Brown. And it sets up Derek Henry to go again this time from three yards out. How can you do go wrong by giving it to Derek Henry? I mean, seriously, we're up there in the box. Everybody in the stands know that he's going to get the ball. Guess what he does? Touchdown anyway. Alright, so the Titans score a touchdown there. Make it 24-23. But the Bills come right back with eight points. They take a 31 to 24 lead into the fourth quarter. Titans cut it to 31-27. They need to get the ball back. How about a sack from Jeffrey Simmons? Big Jeff played a tremendous ball game today. You know, he kind of came of age today on a big stage. Huge stage. Watch this power rip. First of all, he's getting held. He's getting held for about three seconds. Watch this left arm power rip that he puts on and then just gets to the quarterback, calf ropes him around the ankles. This is a beautiful play. Jeffrey Simmons stepped up big tonight with a lot of his other defensive teammates. There will be more Jeffrey Simmons to come in this segment. Titans get the ball back. They drive 70 yards to take the lead. Derek Henry, for the third time, this 13-yard run is a thing of beauty. I can't wait to watch. Look, for this, when this thing comes on, you're going to see this guy here. He's got a nose for the end zone. He understands how to get it in there. And he gets stronger as the game goes on. There was no place to run for a minute. He's shoulders the guy. You're not going to tackle this guy with an arm tackle. Look at the blocks. Look at the blocks and look at the effort that this front is making on the left side, Mike, getting off the ball. They're driving everybody. There's a stiff arm. That's a little baby stiff arm. That's a touchdown. All right, 34-31 Titans, 3-0-5 to go. The only problem is the Titans left the Bills too much time. They drive to the Titans, 2-1.5-yard line, 22 seconds to go, fourth and a half yard. And here's Jeffrey Simmons again. You've got a 6-5, 245-pound quarterback. Watch Jeffrey Simmons knock the guard right back into the quarterback's lap and then make the play. This was as great a goal line stand as I've seen. I've seen a few in my career. This was outstanding. For the time, the place, the magnitude of what that was, that was unreal. Titans also get outstanding looks on the inside from Dayquan Jones and Imani Bledsoe. But it's Jeffrey Simmons who makes the play. Titans 4-2 after a 34-31 went over Buffalo. Exciting. Exciting and just you had to have it. But to get it that way and to get it on Monday Night Football, Mike, couldn't be better. The atmosphere was unbelievable. Cheryl Crowe was the 12th Titan when we come back. I get a chance to visit with Coach Mack's new best friend, Cheryl Crowe. I'm serious. The bike brable show continues. The 12th Titan has always been a special part of pregame at Nissan Stadium. Last night's 12th Titan, extra special. Music legend, Cheryl Crowe. Cheryl Crowe has made Nashville her home since 2005. But we didn't find out that she was really a big Titans fan until about two years ago. Her sons, Wyatt and Levi, have made sure that she follows the two-tone blue and she made sure we knew it right before a big playoff game. I wonder if in this whole school if I could find some Titans fans. Two years ago we're getting ready to play Baltimore in the playoffs and all of a sudden all these videos start showing up online. People wishing us well. We're big underdogs. Baltimore is the number one seed. And then there's a Cheryl Crowe video that just totally took us aback. You're in a Derrick Henry Jersey. That's right. You're at Lipscomb Academy. That's right. And you're not only telling everybody to tighten up, but you're getting all these kids revved up. And for all of us, it was huge to see you do this on our behalf. So thank you. First of all, let me say revved up is an understatement. And then secondly, let me say that my then third grader was mortified. Mortified? Oh, yes. Yeah. Why?  Not to come running in the gym with a film crew behind you. He's actually the reason that I'm so in not only into the Titans, but into sports in general. He just loves it. And his dream would be to play alongside Derrick Henry. And so you get this because you grew up in a small town and I grew up in a small town outside of Nashville, and we never thought we'd have an NFL team here. And now for all these kids like your sons to grow up with an NFL team and Derrick Henry's here and Ryan Tannehill's here and all these players, how fun is that? It's really fun. And you know, I grew up wanting to emulate rock stars, right? Maybe not the best role models. And I've really come to understand with two boys how important sports figures are and their dedication and their level of work commitment. And it makes a big difference. All right. So Derrick Henry or Giannis? I know you love the Milwaukee Bucks. Don't do this to me. I know, right? You love the Bucks though, right? We love us some Bucks. King Henry and the Greek Freak. That's two pretty good ones right there, right? Yes, yes. Levi, he has a couple of jerseys on his wall and one of them is Giannis and one of them is Derrick Henry. And is Levi going to try to take my job? Levi's funny, man. I'm going to say to you right now that your job, you may be in trouble. My 14-year-old has already given my bass player notice that when he gets to be 18 that he wants to be in mom's band. Of course I say when you get to be 18 you're going to want to be in anybody's band but your mom's. But Levi is a worrier. Now he's going to worry up until at least the third or fourth quarter. He may worry until like the last minute, but he's going to believe that the Titans are going to pull it out. Now that was a treat. Getting to sit down and talk sports with Cheryl Crow. One another treat. Dave McGinnis is back. Coach Mack has the keys to knocking off this weekend's opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs. And Mike Rappelshow continues. This is the Bet MGM Studio. This is Dave McGinnis. You saw him earlier in the program. You know who that is. Time now for the Nissan Keys and you certainly know the opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs, the two-time defending AFC champions. They come in here three and three. Coach Mack, first key to the game. First key to the game. You've got to contain Kansas City's explosives. This is a very explosive offense. They've got playmakers all over the field. And what you've got to be able to do, Mike, when this quarterback escapes, both horizontally and vertically, you've got to plaster coverage. You've got to do that downfield because it's just huge. Explosive plays are really an equalizing factor in NFL games. Limit these guys' explosives. Does it help the Titans that they saw another athletic quarterback with a great arm in Josh Allen on Monday night? It's the same principles. And it's the same principles in the back end. And it's the same principles up front. And the biggest thing that has to happen, Mike, is the off-schedule plays. Off-schedule plays really turn into backyard ball downfield. And you've got to plaster your man and you've got to stay on him. All right. So key number two in the Nissan Keys has to be about Patrick Mahalms, right? Well, you've got to cage rush him. And by cage rush, I mean this. Whether you four or five-man rush, everybody has to be very, very lame disciplined because here's what he can do, Mike. He can not only escape outside. Everybody thinks you don't let a quarterback escape outside. Well, if he escapes horizontally, at least he's cutting the field in half for himself. He escapes vertically up inside, then the whole field is open to him. So when you cage rush, your outside rushers have to be able to get to quarterback depth, flatten out, squeeze that off. Your inside rushers very, very gap-conscious. And what they can't do, they can't peek. They can't peek to the opposite side because he will take those A and B gaps very quickly up inside. All right. Kansas City is going to score points. They always score points. Even if you play great defense, they're going to score points. So the Titans have to score points. You get to the high red zone against this team. You've got to score touchdowns because that's going to be imperative. When you work it down the field against Kansas City's defense, Mike, high red zone, which is designated as the 20-yard line to the 5-yard line, you've got to score. You've got to score touchdowns because you're not going to overcome this team kicking field goals. They average about 34 points a game. You can't kick 13 field goals in the game. You've got to be able to score touchdowns when you get to the red zone. That would be a record. That'd be a record. That'd be a record. All right. So those are Coach Mack's Nissan keys to the game. We see how good he is. Now we're going to really see how good he is. It's time for Delta dentals. Can you guess this Titan? Mike Vrable, I think he's two of four on the year. Is that right? Close to that? All right. Let's see if Coach Mack can go one for one. Let's take a look at this week's Delta dental. Can you guess this Titan? You don't have to blurt it out because we're going to go to break. Do you think you know? No. But I'm studying on it. Fortunately, you've got several seconds. We're going to go to break. And when we come back, we reveal this week's Delta dental. Can you guess this Titan? Titan on the Mike Vrable show. Delta dental. Can you guess this Titan? We put that to Dave McGinnis who's filling in for Mike Vrable on a short week. So now, can you guess this Titan? Coach Mack, do you have a guess? Yes. Okay, good. Rashawn Evans. Rashawn Evans. Let's see. Is he correct? Derek Henry. Close. Close. Not even close. Well, they both went to Alabama. Well, that's close. And they play for the Titans. You know what? I used to have a television show when I was the head coach. I never had to guess anybody's smile. Much, much props to Mike Vrable. Okay. So talk about what Derek Henry is doing right now. You had Emmett Smith with you in Arizona. You coached with the Bears when Walter Payton was doing there. You have seen historic stretches. This guy, what he's doing is remarkable. Mike, we're seeing history right now. We really need to appreciate what we're seeing, what this guy is doing. He's on a pace right now.  Because everybody that we play, they're geared to stop him. You've got eight, eight and a half million in the box. You and I broadcast all these games. Every time you hear me say they've got eight in the box, they're loaded up front. He just keeps pounding. Special, special player. We are witnessing history right now. And a great teammate and a special guy. Well, that's all he is. He's a great teammate.  He really puts the team before himself. You know, it's not a me thing. It's really true about him. You and I get to watch practice every day. We see how this guy works. And we see how his teammates react to him. This guy is much respected for all the right reasons. We are lucky to be able to cover his games. When we come back, Amy Wells joins us with the Titans Files and another guy. We're very lucky to be able to cover. AJ Brown. We were excited when they drafted AJ Brown in 2019. Oh, I was, I was really excited. Really excited vetting him because he reminded me so much of a player I drafted when I was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in Anquan-Bowlin. And we know what kind of career he had. But all the same traits that I saw in Anquan when he came out, AJ exemplified those when he came out of Mississippi. Physical catcher, tremendous with the ball in his hands. Great combat catcher. And just relentless, relentless as a runner. And plus you could just tell, the way he competed down in and down out is the way he's competing down in and down out in the national football league. He's a force to be reckoned with. As a defensive coordinator, when they, they come into the ball games, they're going to have to know where AJ is because he can hurt you really quick. I love this segue because AJ Brown is the subject of the Titans Files and Amy Wells has gotten another former Cardinals wide receiver who played for Dave McGinnis to give the insight. Tana Hill's in the gun. He's got Henry on his left hip. Blitz coming. Tana Hill firing, pass caught. AJ Brown at the 15. Should come as a shock to no one. After all, production is what number 11 has been all about in his first two years as a Tennessee Titans wide receiver. Rob Moore has seen every one of Brown's snaps since he came into the NFL. So he's hardly shocked by what happened on Monday. AJ is, he's phenomenal because he's almost ambidextrous in both hands in terms of he's equal.  He can catch the ball with either hand and not batting out left. AJ's strengths are hands-down, his play strength, his ability to catch the football, his ability to make contested catches, and his ability to run after the catch. The thing I enjoy most about coaching AJ is he's so cultured.  He's extremely curious as a player. You know, always trying to find new ways to get better. 12 o'clock at night, I'll get a text message for a video or some drill he saw that he likes. He's always, you know, searching. You find different ways to get better, and you love players is that kind of curiosity. I think the biggest improvement is AJ knows who he is as a player now, in terms of what his identity is and what makes him who he is. His first couple years, he's trying to figure it out, and I think now he really truly understands who he is as a player, what his strengths are, and he's constantly working on and develop those things that he wants to get better at. We all have our favorite plays from our favorite players. You have your favorite, Derek Henry Run, or Ryan Tannehill Pass, or Kevin Byard Interception. For AJ Brown, there have been many special plays early in his career, but for everyone, just one play stands out. Oh, and our question is, did Baltimore get it? Tannehill looks, fires, Brown makes the catch of the 10, spinning, driving his way to the five, into the end zone. How did he do it? Wow. Touchdown Titans. Arthur won. Brown, carrying them. Well, he broke inside and caught the denial route and basically put the team on his back and got in the end zone. What people are understanding is up to that point, you know, he was, what planned all that great, but he knew it was a moment in the game. We needed him to step up there. He disappointed in how he was playing and he overcame that, made a play for us and then continued to play that way for the duration of the game.  When you watch his hand-eye coordination and how you watch practice and watch him catch the ball with one hand with both hands and all those things, you play catch with him. You can see the velocity on the ball. You see how he can track the deep ball and just, you know, the football in general. All those things lend to being a great baseball player. And then when you look at his power and his strength, you know, he's a guy who could probably knock it out of the park as well.  So, I'm not surprised by that. Anytime you have guys that have that kind of talent and ability and love football, usually you're going to have some success. Titans and the Chiefs Sunday at noon right here at Nissan Stadium. We're on the air on Titans Countdown at 11 a.m. That's 104-5, the zone in Nashville. You can hear this man, Dave McGinnis, and meet Mike Keith and our whole crew. We'll see you today.


How's your family? Just fine. Excellent pictures. Excellent pictures. Voilà. Mr. President, on behalf of the Federal Council and the Swiss people, I would like to extend to you, to Mrs. Reagan, as well as to the members of your delegation, a most heartily welcome. We are honoured that our country has been chosen to be the place of your meeting with Secretary-General Gorbachev. We deem it a token of trust in neutral Switzerland. It is indeed part of the historical mission of the Swiss Confederation to strive for peace and freedom and to promote better understanding between peoples and nations. This is the way we can best serve what we stand for. Geneva, the city of peace, has often in the past witnessed major international events. I have particular in mind the four power conference of July 1955, when President Eisenhower represented the United States of America. What was later known as the spirit of Geneva was born at that time. Today we hope and the whole world indeed hopes with us that this spirit will be with you and your counterpart all along the talks. In the coming days and hours, all eyes throughout the world will be watching you with trust and expectation. We are aware of the challenge you are facing, not only as a representative of your great nation, but also as a statesman with a sense of responsibility for mankind. Mr. President, once more, I would like to say how pleased we are to receive you in Switzerland. For over 200 years, our country has been linked with the United States in common endeavor through the living values of democracy. The protection of human rights is the goal we share. Mr. President, Mrs. Reagan, we welcome you with warms in our hearts. All our good wishes and indeed all our thoughts will be with you in the difficult task. You and Mr. Gorbachev are about to engage in. Thank you, Mr. President. President Fergler, I would like to extend to you and to the Swiss people my appreciation for helping to make possible the coming meetings between representatives of the United States and the Soviet Union. Nancy and I are delighted to be in this magnificent city on the shores of Lake Geneva. On behalf of the American people, thank you for your warm and friendly welcome. Mr. President, it is fitting that the meetings of the next few days should take place on Swiss soil. For Switzerland has long been a leader in the search for peace and the defense of human freedom. Again and again, you've provided your territory for international meetings and your good offices in the mediation of disputes. It was the Swiss who founded one of the great humanitarian organizations of our time, the National Red Cross. And it is Switzerland that often represents the diplomatic interests of other nations, including the United States, in lands where these nations have no formal diplomatic relations of their own. Indeed, in your unshakable commitment to independence, democratic government, and human rights, the Swiss Confederation in itself serves as an example to all the world. The motto on the great seal of the United States, Mr. President, is e pluribus unum out of many one. Well, here in Switzerland, a country of rich religious, cultural, and linguistic variety, you practice just such unity in diversity. Permit me to add that our two countries are bound together by family ties. As early as 1562, a Swiss citizen appeared in Florida. And in 1670, a Swiss settlement was established in Charleston, South Carolina. Ever since, Americans of Swiss descent have pioneered and led the development of our nation. Today, Swiss Americans number in the hundreds of thousands, and I would be remiss if I failed to express their affection for you, their Swiss cousins. Indeed, just last month, the goodwill of the American people toward the Swiss was formally expressed in a joint resolution of the Congress of the United States. And recently, Mr. President, Boston University awarded you an honorary Doctorate of Laws. In your acceptance address, you stressed the obligations incumbent upon the West to defend its values and its way of life. It is, you said, part of the definition and vocation of the human being to be free. Well, Mr. President, each in its own way, our two nations stand at the forefront of this struggle for liberty. Each stands determined to defend the freedoms of its own people and to advance the cause of freedom throughout the world. And each rests confident of the knowledge that freedom will endure and prevail. It is to make certain that this great work on behalf of human freedom can go forward in peace that I have come here today. As I stated last month I am convinced that American-Soviet relations need a fresh start, a genuine give and take on regional conflicts, on human rights, and on the reduction of arms. American and Soviet differences on these matters run deep. Mr. Gorbachev and I cannot surmount them in only two days. But I am here in the fervent hope that on behalf of all the people of the world, we can at least make a start. President Fergler, once again to you and the people of Switzerland, our friendship, and our deepest gratitude.


Now, Roma Wines, present. Suspense! Tonight, the fountain plays starring Charles Lawton. Suspense is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A, Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness and entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now a glassful would be very pleasant, as Roma Wines bring you... Suspense! This is the man in black, here for the Roma Wine Company of Fresno, California. Who tonight from Hollywood bring an old friend at these proceedings. Mr. Charles Lawton, a star of an unusual murder study by his distinguished compatriot, Miss Dorothy L. Sayers. Called the Fountain Plays. It deals with the fortunes and misfortunes of a middle-class Englishman. The name of Spiller lives on a little country estate with a cook and a man's servant. And in the garden, yes, a fountain. So, with the performance of Charles Lawton as Mr. Occibal's Spiller, we again hope to keep you in suspense. Spiller, what about him?  Look out for what? Spiller's blind as a bed, aren't you, Sam? You really ought to wear glasses, you know?  I'll keep you from getting your clothes wet, Sam. You almost walked right into the spray of the fountain. Well, never you mind what I need glasses. I never mind your blasted fountain, neither. I want a straight answer to my question, Mr. Spiller. I've given you an answer totally. You've given me nothing but fluff from blaster. You want to get it all, don't I? That's what I want to know. And if I don't... My dear fellow, please. My guests are arriving. I'll talk to you tonight. You better talk straight.  Hello. Hello there, everybody. We're just in time for a little refreshment. Master said we'd find you here, Daddy. I hope we're not interrupting. Oh, certainly not, certainly not.  Yes, of course. And this is my neighbour, Mrs. Diggory, Mr. Gooch. How do you do, Mr. Gooch? Yeah. And Ronald Cloudford, my daughter's fiancée. How do you do, sir? How do you? Well, I was just showing Mr. Gooch the wonders of my little fountain. Oh, Daddy, you do make such a fuss over this fountain. Even so, I always say there's nothing like a bit of ornamental water to set a place off. Sort of like the Versailles garden, what? Oh, it's really lovely, Mr. Spiller. And so subdued it, with the road of dendrons and the lilac hair all around. You like it, eh? You know, I was thinking of cutting out some of these lilacs. Oh, I wouldn't. To make a vis to, so to speak. You can't even see it from the house with these bushes and all four sides. Well, now, perhaps that might add something. But if you like the lilacs, Mrs. Diggory, the lilacs shall stay. Oh, Mr. Spiller, I know authority, I'm sure. Well, if you want an authority, I'd say it's a mess. Plus, a backstop and all a mess, see? A mess? Oh, maybe Mr. Gooch means the way the backstop arches up above the spray. It rather overshadows it. Well, I have to have that, you know, my dear, because the prevailing winds from the south, don't you feel how nice and warm it is tonight? Blow the jet of water right onto the grass. If it weren't for that backstop, we'd have a proper swamp over there. Wasteful, too. Well, I'm glad to know that. You always were a fool, aren't you? Squandering money on a fountain. No, no, no, indeed it. Uses the same water over and over again. Like the one in Trafalgar Square, most ingenious, really. Why, isn't that a wonderful idea? Of course, I have to be careful.  Dinner is served. Oh, thank you, masters. Well, what do you say, everybody? Shall we go in, then? Why, Mr. Spiller, your modest little fountain. When you're past the bushes, all at once you can scarcely hear it. Yes, it's quite impossible to hear it from the house. Can't hear it at all. No, it says yes. You see, you're not Napoleon. Will that be all then, sir? Yes, thank you, masters. An excellent dinner. My compliments to the cook. Yes, sir. And coffee in the drawing room, masters. Very good, sir. Well, shall we adjourn? Shall we what? I'll go into the drawing room, you know.  We change from the old days, adjourn to the drawing room. What would you think, Mr. Spiller, about a rubber or two of breed? It's an excellent suggestion, Mrs. D.B. Excellent. Good thing I don't play any, Archie. See, I'm counted there before the stud. Oh, Mr. Gooch, I'm so sorry. Do take my place. I'm really, very tired. No, thanks. We don't play bridge where I come from. Another did, Archie. Though I see he picked it up quick enough once a week. Yes, yes, yes. It's never too late to learn, you know. Well, mind you don't play too long. I want to talk to you before this night, sir. Will you, lad? Yes, yes, yes. Of course, then. Yes, sir.  And I don't want to wait too long. See? What you are, old boy. Where's the fellow masters? Because there's something you wish, sir. Yes. Give me a handful of those coronas. Only the best for your old pals, eh, Archie? Yes, yes. Of course. Yes, yes, of course. I'll see you later, folks. Maybe. Well, uh... Mrs. Digby, shall it be you and me against the youngsters? Daddy. Yes, sir? Will you tell me why you put up with that man? Gooch? Oh, no, no, no. He's not a bad sort, really. He is a bad sort. He's a ruled, unpleasant, terrible man. Well, he's an old friend, you know. Not much a chap can do. Oh, Daddy, you're so soft-hearted. But if you can't do anything, I can. No, no, no, please, dear. He'll be gone in a day or two. High time.  Show me cut for deal. Uh, yes. Shall I? Well, I don't care.  This is the last time that man's going to come into this house. I wish it were. Gosh, nasty. I just can't stand him, Gary. Come now, come now, dear. He's not as unpleasant as all that. What? The only time he'll ever be pleasant is in his grave. That's what. Oh, dear, what an awful thing to say. What a perfectly dreadful thing to say. Tonight for suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you as star Mr. Charles Lawton, whom you have heard in the first act of The Fountain Plays, tonight's tale of suspense. I have an interesting idea for you tonight. From the keen and sensible mind of America's famed expert on parties and smart entertaining, Miss Elsa Maxwell, and I quote, Serving a nice table wine when friends come to dinner, all with everyday meals is one of the smartest, most sensible, and truly moderate pleasures of which I know. And one which any family can regularly enjoy, since the cost of delicious Roma Burgundy is very little. Just serve your Roma Burgundy well-cooled. Enjoy it with any food. And don't worry about special glasses. Any glasses available are perfectly correct. The goodness of the wine, the added enjoyment of your food, these are the things that count. Miss Maxwell expresses perfectly what we of Roma believe. In Roma, California Burgundy, in all Roma wines, you enjoy the glorious color, aroma, and flavor of superb, sun-ripe grapes. Our noted wineries, located in California's choicest vineyard areas, assure you of flavor and quality which are always good, never varying, always delightful. And so Roma quality is preferred everywhere. And you are able to enjoy these fine Roma wines at modest prices. Only pennies are glassful. Remember, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wines. R-O-M-A, Roma wines. And now it is with pleasure that we bring back to our sound stage Charles Lawton as Mr. Ochibald Spiller in The Fountain Plays, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. Of course, we have a very pleasant garden, Mrs. D.B., and I don't know anything that's given me such enjoyment as that fountain. Do you know that it uses the same water over and over again? Yes. It shows you, doesn't it, Mrs. D.B., the simpler pleasures are best. Oh, that's so true. Oh, well, here we are. It's been such a lovely evening, Mr. Spiller. Oh, yes.  Oh, it's my pleasure.  Maybe it's not luck at all. Right, you mean? Uh, Mrs. D.B., may I call you Rosalind? Oh, of course. And you call me Ochibald? Silly name, only one I've got there. Why, I think it's a very nice name. Do you? Well, you know, I've been thinking that it was true when I said tonight that the place will be needing a new host as soon. Oh, with Betty getting married, you mean? I'd be very happy for her. I am, but what I mean is, I mean, what I mean is that, uh, well, we're both alone in the world now. Yes. And, uh, Rosalind, there's something I want to talk to you about soon. I can't just now. There are arrangements I have to make, but I want to talk to you very seriously. Well, I'll always be here, you know, but it's late now. Yes, it is, yes. Good night, Rosalind. It has been a lovely evening. Good night. Good night, Ochibald. Ah, masters. Where is everybody? Mr. Ronan left five or ten minutes ago, sir. Mr. Elizabeth has retired. Oh, well, is Mr. Gooch still in the garden? I couldn't say, sir. Shall I go and see? No, no, never mind. You can cut her onto bed now. I'll lock up. Oh, by the way, has the fountain turned off? Yes, sir. I turned it off myself at half past ten. I was seeing that you were engaged, sir. That's fine. Well, good night, masters. Good night, sir. Oh, confounded. Oh, hello there. I was just coming out to look for you. Hello. Have a nice evening? Nice evening. Not as nice an evening as you had with your bludgeon little widow. That's enough of that now, sir. Oh, with cheese, is it? That's enough, is it? That's how good one would you think I am? Is that one of your ready servants? Well, I'm not. I'm the boss here. Get that in your aid. I'm the boss and you know it. All right, all right, all right, Sam. But let's buzz off to bed now. We'll talk it all over in the morning. No. We'll talk it about it right now, Mr. Spiller. I'm short of cash.   Oh, it is, is it? You're getting pretty eye-on-mighty, aren't you? Number 41632. Quiet for heaven's sake. You're enough fine spot to tell me what you're going to do, aren't you? Quiet. Quiet. The servants might hear. Quiet, petty might hear. Who, Mr. Ronald Flapp, doodle whatever his name is. Really, Sam, you're quite impossible this evening. Impossible, eh? Impossible, but I'm not an escaped outward, am I? I'm not liable to be all back to work out ten years of labor for forgery, am I? Quiet. Look here, Sam. I'll give you a little extra, this once. And when I think a man like me was only in for the short stretch anyway and worked it out all good and proper, depended on the charity. Charity, mind you, of a pill was rolled in wealth. I am not rolling in wealth and you know it. But if you promise me faithfully that this is the last time. Sure, I'll promise. For an old pill, I'll promise anything. And just give me 5,000 dan. 5,000? That's right. We've got a great opportunity. All I need is a little ready cash.  Why do you think I want to lay my hands on that much, just like that? No, look, I'll give you a check for 500. Ah, trying to re-nig an old pill, eh? I said 5,000 and 5,000 it is, or you'll find yourself back on the rock pile. I'll tell you, I haven't got it. Haven't got it. You've got enough to go buy in fancy fountains, or playing around with a widow next door. Leave me out of this. I'll leave her out of it all right. I'll leave the old front to you. Sorry I had to do that. I told you that was enough of that, now I meant it. I'll put yourself together and go to bed. I'll talk to you in the morning. Do you hear me? Sam? Sam? Ah, come on, I didn't hit you that hard. Get up on your feet now. Sam? Oh, I've killed him. What was that? Oh, it's just the old clock. Eh? 11 o'clock. 7 hours. 8 hours, perhaps, until they find him. Of course he hit his head when he fell, but the police won't care about that, and they'll take fingerprints, and they'll find out I was number 41632. No. You need us an alibi. If I could confuse him. An alibi. An alibi, that's it. Make it seem he was alive when he was already dead. First you have to fix the time, haven't you? The time, the time, the time, the time. Well, you've got to make it earlier. Say 10.30, while everybody was playing bridge. If he could have died some time before that, but how do I prove it? What happened to 10.30? What happened to 10.30? What happened to 10.30? Oh, yes. The fountain. Master's in the fountain. That's right, the fountain, yeah. The fountain. Now I know what to do. Go out into the garden. Turn on the fountain. Then go down the garden path and call him. Call him by his name. Sam! Sam! Goat! Goat! I think that'll do for then. I'll go back to the house. Say I looked for him, I didn't find him, but it was dark, the moon had gone down. Yes, but now, how do I move him? How do I... That's right, the wheelchair. The wheelchair. It used to be Mrs. Spillers. I remember how she... I'm going to try and lift him into it. Who'd ever have thought that old Sam was as heavy as this? Out of the other door, but quietly this time, the wheelchair wouldn't make so much noise. Down the back path, a careful boy hold onto yourself. I feel like running. It was though every window in the house were filled with faces watching. Well, here we are. I've got to lift him up again. Lay him down on the edge of the fountain. Put one end in the water. Put the bruise on his head right up against the stone corner of the basin. To the right. He was half blind anyway and he failed. And now it's done. What's that? He's alive. Gooch is alive. After all that trouble after committing practically the perfect crime that he's alive. It's all right. It's all right, Sam. Sam. Wait a minute. Bring him to life again.  What about Mrs. Digby? A nice club. Comfortable Mrs. Digby. What about Betty? She at least deserves something. No, it's better to murder. All right, murder it's going to be. He's dead already, as far as the rest of the world is concerned now. Now or never. His face is right by the water's edge. Push him under. Now it's done. Now it's done. Now it's done. Now it's done, Mr. Spiller. I suppose I ought to feel remorse. Why should I feel remorse? Does the mouse feel remorse that the cat's killed? No. Does the prisoner feel remorse when he leaves his prison? It's done and it's well done. There's nothing left but the finishing touches now. Well, we take back the wheelchair, let the fountain run another hour, and then to bed. Why should I feel remorse in the answers? Congratulations to them all like it. Yes, that's right. Congratulations, old man. Doesn't it turn cold? Inspector Frampton, sir. Oh, yes, sir. Come in, Inspector. Come in. Hi, Mr. Spiller, but the regulations are open. Oh, of course, yes. Every one here who was present the night of, well, that is last night? Yes, Inspector, there's Mrs. Digmeshe's and my neighbour, my daughter Elizabeth, and her fiancee, Mr. Ronald Proudfoot, and the servants, of course. Excellent. Well, now, if you'll all bear with me, I have to ask you a few questions, you know.  As I understand it, the deceased was last seen alive at about 8.30, just after dinner. You were the last to see him, amen? Yes, sir. I believe so, sir. You showed him the way to the fountain in the garden, eh? At his request, yes, sir. I believe the deceased gentleman's eyesight was rather bad. Yes, terribly bad, terribly bad. And that was the last time he was seen alive by any of you, eh? Yes, that's right, Inspector. But four of you then played cards, I believe. Until what time? Until about 10.30. And no one left the room during those two hours? No, no, no. Then, Mr. Spiller, you were accompanied Mrs. Digmeshe to her own. That's correct, Mrs. Digmeshe? Yes, Inspector. Now, when you returned, you were met in the hall by Masters. What time was that, Masters? About 10.45, sir. And Mr. Spiller, at that time, inquired after Mr. Gooch? Yes, sir. He asked if I'd seen him. And as I'd not, he suggested I might retire. But he himself would lock up the house. The others had left, eh? Yes, sir. That is to say, Mr. Rommel had left.  And Mr. Elizabeth had retired. Then you were alone in the downstairs part of the house? Is that so, Mr. Spiller? Yes. Will you tell me, please, what you did then? Well, I'd promised the poor fellow I'd have a talk with him later in the evening, so I went to look for him. I went down to the end of the garden by the fountain. But you didn't go through the lilac edge to the fountain? No, no, I didn't. It was dark by then. I couldn't see. I called Gooch several times. Did anyone hear Mr. Spiller call? I did, sir. I was half asleep, you might say. But I did hear Mr. Spiller call out. And then what did you do, Mr. Spiller? I came back into the house, Inspector, and I sat up in the library and read for a while and about one o'clock I went to bed. Now, this is very important. Who turned off the fountain? I did, sir. At what time, Arthur? At 10.30, sir. You're quite sure of that, eh? Yes, sir. It's the usual time. Ah, I see. And no one would have turned it on again, of course. I can't think quite, sir. Oh, I see. Well, I think that makes everything very clear, Mr. Spiller. When the body was found, it was still wet from the spray of the fountain.  Yes.  Oh, of course, it is an accident. I said it was from the beginning. Well, it might have been neither, you know. There had been a blow and there was water in the lungs, but the man apparently fell and missed his footing due to his poor eyesight and struck his head, falling into the water from which he was unable to rescue himself. Well, it does seem the obvious conclusion, doesn't it? My, my poor fellow, do me. Well, thanks, everyone, on. I don't think he's left the club with you again, Mr. Spiller. I hope not. Thank you, Inspector. Oh, Debbie, I'm so glad. I was afraid for a while. Nothing to be afraid of, dear, you know. Poor old Gooch just lost his footing and fell at all. I know. I was afraid of him. Afraid of who? I know it was silly, but he was so strange. I thought he had some sort of hold over you.  You're an old dear, but I've got to run now. Off with Ronald? Yes. Daddy, are you going to be awfully lonely when I've gone? Do you know I'll miss you? Maybe Mrs. Digby.  She's such a darling, Daddy. She is rather nice and sweet. In fact, I thought I might pop over to see her this afternoon. As long as you're going to be out. Daddy, I knew it. I won't keep you another second. I'll have to go over to dinner. Perhaps I shall. You be on time now. I will. Make pardon, sir. Oh, masters, yes? It's convenient to you, sir. I'd like to have my bedroom changed. I'd like to sleep indoors in the main house. Oh, why is that, masters? I'm very light sleeper, sir, and noises keep me awake. Noises, masters? Well, the rain, sir, about the garage. And the wind changes is pretty. Well, a little oil, perhaps. I hardly think that would do, sir. Because when the wind changes, there are other noises. They can be most disturbing, sir. What are the noises, masters? The fountains, sir. The fountain? Yes, sir. Ordinarily, I'm quite unable to hear it. Any more than you can in the main house, sir. But when the wind is from the east, the backstop acts quite like a sounding board in the direction of my room, sir. In fact, I can not only hear the fountain itself, but I can hear even the faintest noises and the grove around it. Quite clear. I say yes. Yes. Why? Why, sir? Yes. For instance, on the middle night, Mr. Goats sustained his unfortunate accident. I noticed the wind changed a little after eleven, because it got very cold. The weather vane wakens me, and then I heard the fountain. I seem to hear other noises, too, if I may say so. You heard. Yes, sir. Yes. I might add that after noting the police inspector's observations, I took the precaution of pressing your ditter jacket. The sleeves seem quite wet, sir. Yes. I think, sir, all things taken into consideration, you might find it worth your while to retain me permanently in your service. Oh, yes. Of course. I wouldn't dream of ever wanting to replace you, masters. At, shall we say, just double my present weight for the present? Well, yes. Yes, yes. I'm very much obliged, you sir. Is there anything else, sir? No. Nothing else.  Very ingenious the fountain. Most ingenious, my fountain. Costs a little to run, because it uses the same water over and over again. Over and over again. Over and over again. Over and over again. And so closes the fountain plays, starring Charles Lawton. Tonight's study in suspense. Suspense is produced and directed by William Spear. The other day, Elsa Maxwell told us about a friend who had lived many years in wine-loving countries around the world. I gave him some of our delicious Roma California Burgundy at dinner, and he confessed to me that he thought it every bit as enjoyable as any he had ever had. So, I say, you people who do not regularly serve Roma wine are missing one of the most delightful treats daily living can offer. It's so good, so smart, yet so very simple. Take Miss Maxwell's advice. Enjoy Roma wine regularly. It's always good, unvaryingly fine in flavor and quality, and only pennies a glass. Remember, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wines. Roma, R-O-M-A, Roma wines. Next Thursday, same time, we will have the pleasure of bringing to you Mr. Kerry Grant. Make a note now for next Thursday so you won't miss Kerry Grant's performance in... Suspense. Presented by Roma wines, R-O-M-A, made in California for enjoyment throughout the world.
