00:01Fed up with the everyday grind? Tired out by the dull routine? Want to get away from it all?
00:09We offer you... Escape!
00:15Escape! Transcribed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure!
00:23You are flying over the lonely wastes of the Pacific, lost, torn by the fury of a typhoon, your gas
00:31running out.
00:32And ahead of you is an adventure so strange, so terrifying, that your mind cannot accept it.
00:46Today, we escape from reality with the tale of a navy flyer who vanished from the face of the earth
00:51into a new world of the future.
00:53As Nelson Bond told it in his story, Conqueror's Isle.
01:09You've got to believe this. It sounds utterly impossible, I know. It sounds... It sounds crazy. That's why I'm here,
01:15sir.
01:16But it's the truth, and you've got to believe it. You've got to, sir. You've got to...
01:19That's the way he started, almost as soon as I'd walked into his hospital room.
01:22He wasn't violent, you understand. There was no need for restraint.
01:25But his every action, every gesture was evidence of a psychotic condition.
01:29To be extremely charitable, battle fatigue.
01:34Well, anyway, it was an odd case.
01:36I was already acquainted, of course, with the history.
01:39Young man, graduate of Annapolis, lieutenant in the fleet air arm.
01:44Excellent record, citations for bravery, and so forth.
01:47Toward the end of the war, he and his bomber crew disappeared over the South China Sea.
01:52Search failed to turn them up. They were, of course, presumed to be lost.
01:56And then a month ago, almost four years later,
02:00Lieutenant Brady was found by a Brazilian freighter drifting helplessly and nearly dead in a tiny life raft from the
02:05airplane.
02:07Curiously enough, his position was not far from that last reported by his radio operator four years ago.
02:12But when he was asked where he'd been, he gave a story so fantastic, so utterly unbelievable.
02:19It's been true, and you've got to believe it. You've got to, sir.
02:22At ease, Lieutenant.
02:22Lieutenant, I'm sorry, sir.
02:26I'm here to consult with you as a physician, not order your cure as a superior officer.
02:30Now, suppose we ignore the braid while you tell me about it.
02:34Thank you, doctor. Where should I begin?
02:37Well, it's your story. You know what it is you want me to believe.
02:41The trouble began, I understand, on your last bombing mission.
02:44Yes, that's right. That's when my troubles began.
02:48The thing's been going on for much longer than that.
02:50Years, certainly. Decades, perhaps.
02:53Somebody has got to do something, doctor.
02:55Time is racing by, and with every passing day, they grow stronger.
02:58I've got to make people understand.
02:59Lieutenant.
03:01Now, suppose you start at the beginning, with that unfortunate last flight.
03:06Yes, sir. I'm sorry I got a little...
03:10Well, then it was this way.
03:12Okay. We'd finished our mission, and we were starting for home.
03:16We were over the South China Sea, between the Philippines and Indochina, roughly off Palawan.
03:21Everything was peaches and cream.
03:23The Arden Alice was purring along like a dream, and I was sitting there chewing up a pack of Lifesavers,
03:28thinking how good that can of cold beer was going to taste,
03:31when the intercom crackled in my ear.
03:33Lieutenant, Jap freighter, ten o'clock.
03:35Huh? Yeah, you're right.
03:38Looks like a single tramp eating up the coast.
03:40You still got a bertha?
03:41Yes, sir.
03:43Okay, maybe we can have some fun.
03:45Red 4 to Mac. Red 4 to Mac.
03:48Go ahead, Red 4.
03:50Jap freighter, ten o'clock.
03:52Check.
03:52We've still got a bertha. How about it?
03:55Why not? It's your party. Go ahead and good luck.
03:58Roger or not.
04:03It was as easy as hitting a sitting duck.
04:06The long dive, the bomb release, the pull-out, the dull concussion.
04:16We laid it down the raft stack, and that Jap ship went up like a Roman candle.
04:21Hey, hey, nice going, Lieutenant. Right on the button.
04:24That's one Jap we won't have to worry about anymore.
04:26Lieutenant, we're hit.
04:27Huh?
04:27A piece of that Jap must have come up and hit us with spraying gas all over the Pacific out
04:31of the left-wing tank.
04:32Yeah. I see it now.
04:35Well, guys, get ready for a bath. We'll never make it back.
04:37I'm Jack, and he's Saturday night.
04:39Never mind. I always did want to take a ride on one of them little rubber boats.
04:42No need to worry. The Navy takes care of its own.
04:45They'll be out to get us before we have a chance to get thirsty.
04:48Red 4 to Mac. Red 4 to Mac.
04:51Nice going, fella.
04:52Yeah. Only it was a two-way deal. We're hit, Mac. Losing gas fast.
04:57Think you can make it?
04:58Nope. It's a salt bath for us.
05:00Sorry, fellas. Keep your radio on. Give your last position to base before you ditch it.
05:04They'll have a rescue party out in an hour.
05:05Will, Coe.
05:06See you tonight. Good luck. Over.
05:07Roger out.
05:09You see, there was nothing to it.
05:11Happened every day.
05:12With ships all over the Pacific, they'd have a destroyer sitting there when we came down.
05:17A half hour later, when our gas was down to a few cupfuls
05:21and the rest of the squadron was long out of sight.
05:24An amazing thing happened.
05:26One minute, the sky was clear and cloudless.
05:29The next minute, we were surrounded by thunderheads
05:32and a typhoon burst on us.
05:36Holy cow, Lieutenant. Where'd this come from?
05:39I don't know, but it's a Lulu.
05:41Fasten your safety belts. There's no telling what this will do to us.
05:49It was a granddaddy typhoon, all right, but it lasted only a few minutes.
05:54Then we got out of it as miraculously as we'd come into it.
05:58And wonder of wonders, we were directly over a small island.
06:03Well, what do you know?
06:04Take a look at that sight with sore eyes.
06:07Man, oh man, it looks mighty fine to me.
06:09Uh, what island is it, Lieutenant?
06:11I don't know. I don't recognize it.
06:13After the way we got tossed around back there,
06:15I haven't any idea of our position.
06:17We could be anywhere from the coast of China to the Philippines.
06:20Who knows?
06:20Who cares? It's dry land.
06:22Yeah, just in time. We're out of gas.
06:24Hey, Jack.
06:25Yeah?
06:26See if you can get a fix and radio our position.
06:28We're going down.
06:37We landed safely on a little strip of sandy beach.
06:40And only after we'd climbed out of the plain did we begin to have any misgivings.
06:45What do you think, Skipper?
06:46Well, it doesn't look like much, but...
06:48I don't see anybody.
06:50Not a sign of life.
06:51I got a good look from topside coming down.
06:53There weren't any houses. Nothing.
06:55Still, you can't tell.
06:56They could be Japs.
06:57Or worse.
06:59Headhunters, maybe.
07:00We'd better stick together. Stay close to the plain.
07:02Shouldn't be more than a few hours.
07:04Oh, yeah, except...
07:05Hey, what the...
07:05Hold it.
07:06Hello there.
07:07A white man.
07:09Hey, what is this?
07:10Keep your eyes open. It might be a trap.
07:11But he's a white man. He speaks English and he's not armed.
07:14No, I don't see any guns.
07:15Just the same. Watch it.
07:17Welcome, gentlemen. Welcome.
07:18We saw you land, so I hurried out to see if I could be of any assistance.
07:22May I introduce myself? I'm Dr. Grove.
07:24I'm Lieutenant Brady, and these are my men.
07:25Radioman Cavanaugh, and my gunner, Sergeant Geller.
07:28Hi, Dr. Grove.
07:29It's a pleasure, gentlemen. Pleasure.
07:30Are any of you in need of medical assistance?
07:33Oh, thanks. We're all okay.
07:35Just a little surprised to find anyone here.
07:38Yes, of course.
07:39That can be explained to you later.
07:41But right now, you'll be wanting food and rest.
07:44Hey, now, a little chow wouldn't be bad.
07:45But first, we have to get in touch with our base.
07:48Give them our position.
07:49Oh, of course.
07:50But such things take some time in these primitive areas.
07:53We have a radio on the plane.
07:54It did have, Skipper.
07:56Well, I was just starting to tell you.
07:57It went out just before we sighted the island.
08:00Must have got wanged up in that storm.
08:02Well, can you fix it?
08:02I suppose so, if it's nothing serious.
08:05I'll tell you better after I have a chance to look at it.
08:07Of course.
08:08But in the meantime, I hope you'll accept our humble hospitality.
08:11We don't have the pleasure of entertaining new guests here often.
08:15It'll be good to chat with you all.
08:16If you'll follow me, please.
08:17How about it, Skipper?
08:20Sure.
08:20Why not?
08:22After the last half hour, we could all use a little relaxation.
08:25Very good.
08:26Right this way, please.
08:27You should have smelled it right then.
08:29There was something strange about the whole thing.
08:32There were a lot of questions in my mind, but somehow I didn't ask them.
08:36Instead, we walked down the jungle path behind Dr. Grove like lambs to the slaughter.
08:42Tom Geller must have had the same misgivings because he whispered in my ear.
08:45I don't get it, Skipper.
08:47Don't get what, Tom?
08:48Where do these guys come from?
08:49Where do they hang out?
08:50When we were coming in, I made sure to take a good look at this island.
08:53There were no houses, no nothing.
08:55I don't know.
08:55I guess we'll find out soon enough.
08:57Yeah.
08:58Hey, stop.
09:00Holy cow, will you look at that?
09:03Dr. Grove stopped in front of what looked like a big rock.
09:06And then we saw it was expertly camouflaged cement with a sliding door.
09:17Here we are, gentlemen.
09:19You'll be good enough to enter.
09:21Enter what?
09:22That?
09:24Don't be alarmed.
09:26It's only an elevator.
09:27An elevator?
09:28In this jungle?
09:30What kind of monkey business is this, anyhow?
09:32Do you mean to tell me you live underground?
09:33My dear lieutenant, I'll be glad to explain everything later.
09:36It's all very simple.
09:37But first, I must insist that you enter the shaft.
09:40So now you're insisting.
09:42And suppose we prefer not to step into your elevator.
09:45Then what?
09:46Then I should be compelled, most regretfully, to enforce my request.
09:51Guess again, pal.
09:52We happen to be armed.
09:54A gun.
09:55Three guns.
09:56That's one detail you overlooked.
09:58I overlooked no details, lieutenant.
10:01Would you be kind enough to fire your gun?
10:04Watch yourself, Skipper.
10:05It's a trick.
10:05He wants you to suit.
10:06The sound will bring help.
10:07Wrong, my friend.
10:08I need no help.
10:11Very well.
10:12If you won't accept my invitation...
10:14Wait a minute.
10:14Keep your hand out of your pocket.
10:15Perhaps you would care to stop me, lieutenant?
10:18Okay, if you asked for it.
10:20Hey, lieutenant!
10:22Try again, lieutenant, but your gun will not work on you.
10:25Skipper, it's right.
10:26Mine will work either.
10:27And now, perhaps you'll be kind enough to step into the shaft.
10:31Look, I don't know what's going on here, but I don't want any part of it.
10:34Neither do I.
10:34Come on, gang.
10:35Let's get out of here.
10:36Just a minute.
10:37I'm sorry.
10:38You force me to use harsh measures.
10:41Believe me, I do so reluctantly.
10:44What's that you've got there?
10:45Just a small tube, but a very potent weapon, I must warn you.
10:50Yeah?
10:52Well, then you better use it fast.
10:54I made a desperate lunge for him, and suddenly...
10:57A tiny shaft of light flicked out from the tube and touched me.
11:01And I stopped.
11:03Frozen in my tracks.
11:06Conscious.
11:07My eyes open.
11:08Seeing him.
11:09Hearing him.
11:10But try as I would, I could not move a muscle.
11:15I was as if turned to stone.
11:19I was paralyzed, Dr. Gorham.
11:38Completely paralyzed.
11:39As if turned to stone.
11:40I had all my senses.
11:41I could see and hear and feel, but I couldn't move a muscle, not even turn my eyes.
11:46And you say this happened because of some kind of light beam?
11:48Well, not exactly a beam, sir.
11:50Perhaps not exactly light.
11:52Just a kind of...
11:53A kind of radiance.
11:55A gas, perhaps?
11:56No, because it had no form, no odor, no taste.
12:00It was like becoming enmeshed in a web of moonbeams.
12:03I see.
12:04And its only effect on you was to immobilize you.
12:07Yes, that's right.
12:08It didn't burn or sting or cause pain in any way.
12:12I simply couldn't move.
12:14It was like a hypnotic trance.
12:16And then?
12:17Well, then some of Dr. Grove's companions came out of the elevator.
12:21They picked us up and carried us.
12:23I could feel their hands very softly.
12:25As if they were far away from my body.
12:28As if there were layers of rubber between them and me.
12:32I could hear Dr. Grove talking.
12:34Place him in the chair.
12:35Gently, please.
12:36I could see him bending over me into my line of vision.
12:39I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
12:41I sincerely regret having to inconvenience you.
12:44But, you see, just as we have the means of hampering your primitive mechanical devices,
12:49your guns, your radio,
12:51so do we have the means to enforce our requests.
12:54Requests which are, I assure you, only reasonable and necessary under the circumstances.
13:00Very well.
13:01Take us down.
13:06My head was reeling.
13:08And fear was growing in me.
13:10Who were these men to talk of radio as a primitive device?
13:14What kind of men were they?
13:16Where were they taking the three of us?
13:17And what were they going to do with us?
13:20As if you'd read my thoughts, Dr. Grove leaned over me again.
13:23There's no need to be alarmed, Lieutenant.
13:26No need at all.
13:29All right.
13:31Gently.
13:32Carry them gently.
13:33Well, Frater?
13:35I'm sorry, Frater Dorden.
13:37It was necessary.
13:38They would not come willingly.
13:40I see.
13:41A few of them do.
13:45Well, put them in the sleeping chambers until they recover.
13:48And be gentle.
13:50They are so frightened.
13:53Poor things.
13:56Poor things.
13:58Poor things, he'd said.
14:01Not as if we were human beings at all, but animals.
14:05Some weak, dumb animals with whom they must be gentle.
14:09It was then that I began to know real fear.
14:13We were in a great underground city, but I could see little of it.
14:17Nothing except what passed in front of my rigid eyes.
14:20Then I was carried into a room, deposited upon a soft couch, and left alone.
14:26I could not close my eyes, but gradually the light began to fade, to melt away.
14:32I was in deep blackness, and I slipped.
14:39I don't know whether the return of the light awakened me, or whether it came on automatically
14:44when I woke up.
14:45But the room was bright, and I could move again.
14:48I jumped up, tried the door, and of course it was locked, and there was no other way of
14:53escape.
14:54The room was a small cell with metal walls and ceiling, a kind of metal I'd never seen
14:58before.
15:00There was a cot, a desk, and a chair, and nothing else.
15:04But the really amazing thing was the light.
15:07I searched the entire room carefully, but there were no fixtures, no indirect lighting arrangements.
15:12The light came out of the walls, evenly filling the room, casting no shadows.
15:20Suddenly I wanted to see Kavanaugh and Geller.
15:22I yelled, I yelled at the top of my lungs.
15:25There was almost no sound, no echo from the walls.
15:29They simply absorbed the sound into utter silence.
15:34Then as I stood there, with fear cold in my stomach, I heard a faint sound, a footstep
15:41behind me.
15:43I whirled around just in time to see Dr. Grove stepping through the wall.
15:51You, uh, you said through the wall, Lieutenant.
15:54Of course, you mean through the door.
15:57Through the wall.
15:59Through the wall, sir.
16:01The door was in front of me, but Dr. Grove stepped into my cell through the solid metal
16:06wall.
16:06You realize that what you're saying is impossible?
16:08To us it is.
16:09To them nothing is impossible.
16:11Nothing.
16:12That's why we must act and act now before it's too late.
16:15You must believe me, sir.
16:16This is man's last chance.
16:17I'll do my best.
16:18Perhaps you'd better continue.
16:20Now, uh, this Dr. Grove stepped through the wall.
16:24Yes.
16:25As I'll tell the rest as quickly as I can, I can see that you don't believe me.
16:31But someone must, somewhere, sometime, someone must.
16:35Lieutenant.
16:37Well, as I said, Dr. Grove stepped into my cell through the wall.
16:43Suddenly my panic ended.
16:45I looked at him now with awe.
16:47And we talked, not as man to man, but as man to a lesser creature.
16:54Me.
16:55You must not be frightened, Lieutenant.
16:57You do not understand how I pass through a wall which to you seems solid.
17:01And not understanding, you feared.
17:03But I...
17:04Yet there is nothing supernatural or fearful about what I did.
17:08Any of us can do it at will.
17:09You see, there is no such thing as a solid in this world of relativity.
17:14We know that there is plenty of room for the molecules of our bodies to pass between the
17:19molecules of those walls.
17:20We simply make a necessary mental adjustment and walk where we will.
17:25It is an ability as basic to us as breathing to a person like you.
17:30What kind of men are you?
17:32You have been educated, studied Darwin.
17:34You know the facts of evolution.
17:36You know how man has progressed through various stages from the primitive savagery of the Neanderthal
17:42man.
17:42Well, yes.
17:43Obviously, this process can and will continue.
17:46To suppose that the evolution of man is complete with you is a mistake of conceit.
17:52You mean you are the next stage?
17:55Exactly.
17:56You have heard of the process of mutation, perhaps.
17:59How suddenly a white rose is produced of a family of red roses and from then on produces
18:04only white descendants?
18:05Yes.
18:06So have we been evolved as mutants, infinitely superior to our parents and our fellow men,
18:13knowing by instinct right from birth what you must study years to learn.
18:19Your most difficult physics and mathematics, our ABCs.
18:23Our studies, far beyond your understanding.
18:28Are there many of you?
18:30Yes.
18:31You see, the process has been going on for many years.
18:33Hundreds, thousands more come to us every year from all over the world, drawn here by
18:37telepathic message, where we have isolation to study, learn, build, prepare ourselves.
18:45Prepare?
18:46Prepare for what?
18:48For the task ahead.
18:50Obviously, when we are ready, when we are numerous enough to fill all the necessary positions,
18:55our superior intelligence must shape a new world.
18:59Take over the world?
19:01Obviously.
19:03You will destroy man?
19:05How little you understand us.
19:08Do you destroy the animals of the field because they are not your intellectual peers?
19:13Our obligation is to keep and protect you, to act as your friendly guardians,
19:18in a world which will be strange to you and frightening,
19:23as my walking through the wall was frightening to you.
19:27I see.
19:29Yes, I see.
19:31Then what is your plan?
19:33Rather say, nature's plan.
19:36And the answer to that lies in history.
19:39What became of the anthropoids, the cavemen?
19:43They died out.
19:45Civilization passed them by.
19:48They fell before the onrush of higher forms of life.
19:52Even so.
19:54Even so.
19:56But I give you our pledge that we will be kind.
20:02We will be kind.
20:07And then he took me out into that great underground city.
20:11Through its corridors and great halls and laboratories and shops.
20:15Took me among the thousands of his fellow men.
20:19There I saw marvels of which I could talk for hours.
20:22There were...
20:24They would be beyond your comprehension as they were beyond mine.
20:28You wouldn't believe me and so I won't bother to tell you.
20:32Then I met others like us.
20:34Some 200 captive cattle.
20:36People who had stumbled onto this island as I had.
20:39There were famous names among them.
20:41A famous author whose ship disappeared in the Pacific years ago.
20:44A big game hunter.
20:45A famous aviatrix.
20:47For whom a dozen fleets had sought in vain.
20:50All of us.
20:52Prisoners.
20:53We were treated with great kindness.
20:55Made comfortable, relatively happy.
20:58We were their pets, you see.
21:01They're dumb animal pets.
21:08For over three years I stayed there.
21:12After a while I ceased to struggle.
21:14Even in my mind.
21:15I was defeated.
21:17And so I succumbed to the peaceful bucolic existence that was my fate.
21:22At least...
21:23At least that's what I thought.
21:26Then came that last day.
21:29Dr. Grove had made me his special pet.
21:31I was allowed to follow him about it at work.
21:34To talk to him at length.
21:36And on this day he confided in me even more than usual.
21:39Well, Lieutenant.
21:40It has been a pleasant day.
21:42Yes, Doctor.
21:44Am I to go now?
21:45Not for a moment.
21:47Ah, yes.
21:48I shall miss having you with me when I'm gone.
21:51Gone?
21:53You're going away, sir?
21:54Yes.
21:55Very soon.
21:56But where?
21:57Out.
21:58Out into the world.
21:59Where you once lived.
22:01But why?
22:02Oh, there are many, very many of us there already.
22:05In strategic places, of course.
22:07An important politician here.
22:09An industrial magnate there.
22:11A famous author whose words are gospel to his readers.
22:14I will have my place.
22:16An important one.
22:18But I didn't know.
22:20You didn't tell me that it's already begun.
22:24Oh, yes.
22:25Definitely.
22:27The hour is close at hand.
22:29And then, all of us.
22:31The whole world.
22:33Lieutenant.
22:34You know us now.
22:37You know that we will be kind.
22:40Kind.
22:42Yes, kind.
22:46Suddenly, all the anger that was in me welled up.
22:49I didn't want to be a dumb animal, a pet for some superior being to be kind to.
22:53I didn't want that for my loved ones, my friends, my fellow men.
22:57That night at dinner when they fed the prisoners in a big communal hall,
23:00I got a chance to talk to Kavanaugh, my old radio man.
23:03He listened and then shrugged hopelessly.
23:07They'll succeed, Joe.
23:08You know that.
23:09No. Not if the world could be warned.
23:12I don't know.
23:13Maybe it wouldn't make any difference.
23:16Besides, how could they be warned?
23:17If somebody could get away from here.
23:19Escape?
23:21That's impossible.
23:22I know. That's what I thought.
23:23But listen. I've got an idea.
23:25There's one chink in their invincibility.
23:28What?
23:28Their gentleness. Their kindness.
23:31They can't bear to hurt anyone.
23:32None of their weapons kill.
23:34But only... only paralyzed temporarily.
23:37And they simply cannot conceive of treachery.
23:40What are you driving at?
23:41This.
23:42I'm going to play on Dr. Grove's liking for me.
23:44His kindness.
23:45And I'm going to trick him.
23:46How?
23:48Tomorrow I'll ask him to take me up above.
23:50Back to the plane.
23:51To...
23:51To get pictures of my father and sister.
23:54Tell him I'm lonesome, suffering.
23:57He'll do it.
23:58I'm sure he will.
24:00I'm sure he will.
24:17I'd have no one.
24:18No one close.
24:20The pictures will make me feel a lot better.
24:22I only hope they're still here.
24:24The plane is partially demolished by the weather.
24:26As you can see.
24:27Oh, they'll be there.
24:28They were in the map compartment.
24:30They'd be out of the weather.
24:33Well, here we are.
24:35Dr. Grove.
24:35Look.
24:36Over there.
24:36Where are I?
24:40Sorry, doctor.
24:41But I had to do it.
24:46I hope I didn't kill him.
24:48He had been kind.
24:50But I hit him hard.
24:51Then I broke out a life raft from the rotting plane.
24:54I was almost afraid to look at it.
24:55But it was okay.
24:56Even complete with supplies.
24:57Four years old.
24:58I ripped the valve and threw it into the water.
25:00In five minutes I was out beyond the breakers.
25:04I don't know how many days or weeks it was before they picked me up.
25:07But it was a long time.
25:09And I was more dead than alive.
25:11Yes.
25:11Yes, lieutenant.
25:12Lieutenant, you were in bad shape.
25:13It was a horrible experience.
25:15But you see, it doesn't matter about me.
25:18It's the others that...
25:21You don't believe me either, do you?
25:24Well, lieutenant, it's been a pleasure to listen to your story.
25:27I'll make a report to my superiors.
25:29Please be patient and try not to worry.
25:33Try not to worry.
25:35Good day, lieutenant.
25:37Get out.
25:39Get out, sir.
25:48Oh, there, Commander Gorham.
25:50You've talked to him?
25:51What's the verdict?
25:52A clear case of persecution mania.
25:53An amazing form.
25:54I've never heard a tale more complete and logical, but I...
25:57Yes, I know what you mean.
25:59Well, do what you can for him.
26:00I'm afraid he's going to be here for a long time.
26:03Perhaps for as long as he lives.
26:05Turned loose, he might be dangerous.
26:06That's too bad.
26:08Nice boy, too.
26:09But floating for four weeks on a life raft and heaven knows what before that, it...
26:14Sure does things to a man.
26:16Well, doctor, how about lunch?
26:17No, no, thanks.
26:18I've got to run along.
26:19I have to turn in my report and recommendation on this case.
26:21Oh, of course.
26:22Well, I'll see you later.
26:27I've got to run.
26:53Listen forward, my report.
26:54My report that this Brady case was closed.
26:57That there'd be no more trouble from this source.
27:00My car was just outside on the street.
27:03There was no one in sight in the corridor.
27:06So I turned and...
27:10quietly walked through the wall.
