 I'm Andy Fisher, WNW News. At 7 minutes past 10, time for the Sears Radio Theater. Tonight, your Sears Radio Theater hostess will be Sicily Tyson. Our story will be, I Want Him Dead. Man, that Trenton sure has caused you a lot of problems. I'm going to take care of him today. You still got that gun? What gun? The one you were talking about before. Oh, yeah, but you really don't want it, do you? Where is it? Our story will begin after this message from your local station. Would you hire a person with epilepsy? Before you answer, consider this. Companies that do employ people with epilepsy say these employees often have better job performance, attendance and safety records than non-handicap workers. Employers also find that when employees are given the facts about epilepsy, they are most understanding. And even if a person has a seizure on a job, coworkers aren't alarmed. They're helpful. Accident insurance rates don't increase when you employ people with epilepsy. These rates aren't based on who's employed, but on the actual accident experience of the company and of similar companies in the area. Most types of epilepsy are controlled by medication. That's why people who've chosen not to reveal their condition can keep it hidden. Why hide? Well, that gets me back to the question. Would you hire a person with epilepsy? Epilepsy? It's not what you think. Get the facts. Contact your local Epilepsy chapter or write Epilepsy Foundation of America, Washington, D.C. 20036. This year, let TAP, the airline of Portugal, take you to the TAP happy place. Portugal is unspoiled and the dollar still goes a long way. Just compare the values in Portugal.

Get TAP happy, get TAP happy. Come on and buy TAP to Portugal. Get TAP happy, get TAP to Portugal. This is Cicely Tyson. It's four o'clock in the afternoon. The park, the sport, the rush hour traffic is building. But we're not quite ready to begin our play. Not all of the characters are in place. We're waiting for the arrival of Mr. Robert Trenton. He's not the central figure of our play, but without him, it would be impossible for us to get things on the way. But don't be alarmed. It's only that the traffic is slightly heavier than we expected. Mr. Trenton is still a few blocks away. Stopped at a light, perhaps. Or maybe he stayed for one extra drink at Casey's Bar. Whatever the reason for the delay, I'm sure he'll be along presently. The play you're about to hear deals with a thing we can all relate to. Revenge. I know I've often contemplated what I would do while I'm involved. Oh, Mr. Trenton must be approaching because here comes Billy Green on his bike racing toward the light. And there's Robert Trenton's blue car. Weaving through the traffic, swerving from side to side. Billy's almost to the corner now. The light's about to change. Billy's crossing the street. Oh, my God! He hit him! I saw it! Get out of the way! Give him room! Call the police! And that's only the beginning of our story. Radio Theatre, a new adventure in radio listening.

A great time for play suits, snap side shirts, play pens, Jenny Lynn baby furniture, blankets and a whole lot more. Mothers and mothers-to-be shop Sears all during baby week. Come on, Sarge. How come you know all this? Because my wife and Sarge Junior are probably at Sears right now because Sears has baby buys bundled up. Buy some rainbows, put tires on with the same You've got to have good feelings You've got to trust the name You know what Sears is behind you At the top of a list of the most frightening words in our language, accident. As in, there's been an accident. Because what that means is that things will never again be the same. The fabric of the lives involved is forever changed because when the event occurs, we react. Action and counteraction. I never thought myself capable of it, but let me tell you something. Given the right circumstances, each and every one of us could commit murder. I remember I was at work. It was just a day, Tuesday I think it was, but that doesn't matter. We were putting in the floor of this apartment building. I swear, George, the thing I love so much about this job is watching those chicks walk by. Maybe come to papa. You see that? You see that? George, you see me turn around? Oh, come on Ralph, let's get back to work. Hand me those nails, will you? Oh, she wants me, George. You can tell by the way she walks away from you. Oh, she's in love with me. You know, if you spend as much time on this building as you do on passing women, we've finished the whole thing last week. Georgey, Georgey, Georgey, I'm just going to have to teach you about the finer things in life. What? Chasing after 16-year-old girls? Oh, they are so sweet. Oh, you're crazy. I got a kid who's half the age of that girl and besides that, I'm very happy with my wife, Karen. I feel sorry for you. You've forgotten what fun's all about. Listen, you've got to go bowling with us some night. That's fun. Hey George, it's a call for you in my office. Ah, thanks Hank. I wonder who that is. Yeah, it's probably your wife calling to tell you to stop by the store on your way home. You're warped Ralph, you know that? Don't get mushy on company time. Anyone who has a child has feared the nightmare called an accident. What a terrible, horrible word, accident. He's at Mercy General Hospital. Hurry, hurry, come quickly. Call for Dr. McManus. George! Karen, how is he? Oh, I'm so glad you're here. What happened? Billy was... Oh, where is he? They're working on him now. What did they say? They wouldn't tell me anything. Excuse me, are you George Green? Yes, yes, I am. I'm Officer Pruitt. This is my partner, Officer Floyd. I know this is a difficult time for both of you but there are a few things we need. Look, can you tell me what happened? Well, it appeared your son was riding his bicycle across the street when he was struck by a car which apparently didn't stop for a while. Now, we have a driver down at the station and what we need from you now is your signature on this complaint so the district attorney can file charges. Where do I... Right over here, please. Off the record, it looks like you got a pretty good case. The driver certainly appeared to me as if he'd been drinking quite heavily. Oh, you ought to keep him in jail till he rots. Someone from your district attorney's office will contact you. Hey, good luck, Mr. Green. Thank you. Are you Mr. and Mrs. Green? Yes. That's right. I'm Dr. Rinaldi. How is he? Billy's resting now. We've done everything we could for him but it's still touch and go. I'm being perfectly frank with you because I believe you should know he suffered extensive internal injuries. Is he going to be all right? If he makes it through the night, he has a good chance. Can we see him? Yes, but don't stay too long. You can't talk to him, you know, he's unconscious but he's not in any pain. He's just down the hall, the last door on your life. Is this it? Yeah, I think so. I'll get the door. Let's go in. Because if he isn't... Billy... We should leave. Where's Cindy? I left her with Andrew. The nurse told me that you're the Green's the parents of the little boy who was in the accident. Yes. My name is Robert Trenton. I wanted to know how he was doing. He's unconscious. Why do you want to know? Well... It was... The whole thing was an accident. Your boy crossed while the light was still red. It hadn't turned green for him yet and he fell. Who are you? I was the driver of the car that hit him. I wanted to know how he was. Well, the police told me you were in jail. They released me, but... I want you to know how sorry I am. You knocked her head because the wall till you hadn't got anything in life. Let go of me. Let go of me. Let go of me. How could you do? This is no place for a fistfight. Let go of me. Thanks. Come here. Help me pull him apart. I can't. Now stop. What's this all about? He's the one who did it. He hit my son. Take it easy, Mr. Green. Now, sir, you better leave. I just want him to know that I'm sorry. I said leave, please. It was an accident. I'm going to get you, Trenton. Let go of me. I'm sorry. I can't let me go. Mr. Green, calm down. You're not doing anybody any good this way. Not yourself and not your son. I'm going to get him. Mr. Green, calm down, please. Now, before you leave the hospital, I want you to have this prescription filled. Just give it to the nurse behind the desk. And I think you should also take these, Mrs. Green. I'm not taking any pills. Just to help you relax. You'll feel more comfortable and less anxious. All right. Now, why don't you go home? There isn't anything you can do here. Go home and get some sleep. And if there's any change, we'll call you. Oh, even the slightest. Don't worry. We'll let you know. Do you have our phone number? Yes. Now, please go home and try to get some sleep. We did what we'd been told to do. We went home. Neither of us could eat. But we fed Cindy our little girl. And Kola, they've been in an accident. Nothing serious is how we reassured her. We watched some television without seeing anything. And went to bed. And it was useless. I lay there staring at the ceiling. All I could think of was Billy in that hospital bed and that, that louse threatened out free. Accident, no way. George, what's the matter? Oh, why? I didn't mean to wake you up. Can't you sleep? No. Why don't you take one of those pills the doctor gave you? I already did. Now go back to sleep. Oh, I wasn't sleeping anyway. What time is that? Three o'clock. You want anything to eat? No. I keep seeing Billy's face. So do I. I'm sure he's going to be fine. Isn't he? I can't believe the police let that Trenton go. I thought they said we had a strong case. A district attorney called. He explained that. Don't you remember? I remember. But the cop said he was drunk. George, he said they made a mistake. It was still his fault. Of course not. I'd awake Cindy. It was Trenton's fault. Please don't get upset about it anymore. You scare me when you get that way. Try to get some sleep. Who is it? The hospital? Yes, doctor. What's he saying? Well, tell me. Don't be afraid to be alone. I'll sleep with you and daddy now. Of course, baby, sleep next to mommy. You sleep well, my baby. Is that much? Well, when things just don't add up, you can count on a Sears desk calculator to help you add up what you don't know. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide, then read the figures two different ways. Twelve-digit display or tape printout. There's a two-memory system that helps ease multi-step problems. Plus, its many extras make it a great time saver. Sears two-memory desk calculator now cut $25, just $99.99 through March 7th, at most Sears retail stores. Prices and dates may vary in Alaska and Hawaii. Generations ago, families dined by the warmth of the open heart. Today, Sears rekindles this spirit with its open-heart dining room furniture. Faithfully rendered early American designs and careful workmanship give it an heirloom quality. The satin glow and warm highlighting of Sears open-heart take 26 steps to achieve. There's no shorter method to bring out the beauty of the wood. And like all good furniture, open-heart is made to last for a long time with sturdy tongue-in-groove and mortise and tenon construction. Choose from 16 different pieces of open-heart at most Sears retail stores. What would it cost to replace your car's muffler including insulation? Oh, I'd say about $50. No, wait, $45. Yes, about $40. The aluminized Sears muffler is only $19.99. That's half of what I guessed. It's hard to believe. I care a lot. That's a terrific price. With installation of good. I should have known it. Sears. The muffler, just $19.99 installed. Clamps have needed $0.99 each extra. Sizes to bet most American-made cars. Prices may vary in Alaska and Hawaii. At most, Sears' tire and auto centers. Darling, I'm a mattress who knows what to wear. Solid-color plakial sheets and Sears' medley collection, of course. This gorgeous sheet I'm wearing speaks for itself. The color is called Indian sand. Isn't that stunning? I wear sheets of royal blue, lemon yellow. Sears has a dazzling selection of up to 24 colors. And the fit will just look. I can't understand why mattresses wear anything but these smooth perma-pressed sheets. Honestly, darling, I wouldn't wear anything else. Sizes from twin to king in most Sears retail stores and in the catalog. Wheels are set in motion. There's an accident. Now someone was paid. George has been hurt for the injury to his son. And now he must return the hurt. I went to work the next day. I didn't know what else to do. All I could think about was Billy. And the more I thought about him, the more I knew I wanted the man responsible. I was working alone that day. In fact, I remember Hank, the construction boss, came over to talk to me. Karen had called and told him what had happened to Billy. He told me to go home and take the rest of the week off. But what I needed was to keep working because this plot continued to fester about Trenton and how it was his fault Billy was dead. When I got home, Karen was in Billy's room. George? Is that you? Yeah. I should sort this thing. Why? Because he doesn't need them now. We can call Goodwill or somebody. They'll pick it up. What are you in such a hurry for? Well, I just thought it would help if we did this now. No. Well, we have to do it sometime. But not now. I'll have to go in the day. It's not for you to decide. You shouldn't have called like that. If I went to work, if I didn't think about it, I'm going to get that guy. I'm going to make him pay. He had to win it good. He'll make him pay for what he did. Oh, George, don't be like this. Nothing's going to bring Billy back. Trenton's going to have to pay for it. Where are you going? To the dead. And I'm Jerry Cole. They're coming by. I don't want to see him. We had anything close by. I poured myself a long drink. I found myself crying. They're on the table. It's so bad that they never get better. It comes and takes into him. Sometimes you just can't. Billy was hit by the car. He was very badly hurt. And there wasn't anything anybody could do. It's like when you're saying your prayers to God, and Billy will whiskey bottle with me into the den, and shut the door. They're drinking. I know Karen would answer it. Oh, Karen, when I heard, if there's anything either Jerry or I can do, please don't. No, thank you. I appreciate that. Have you made arrangements for the funeral yet? Yes. It's tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Oh, it's so terrible. Please don't cry. That's all I've been doing all day. I'm sorry. I just keep thinking, what if, what if it had been my little Jerry? Oh, what a terrible thing to say. I'm sorry. That's all right. I'm sure I'd have thought. You know, I've been going through some of the old things. If there's anything there you can use. Oh, I couldn't. Listen, Karen, I don't know what I said, but whatever it was, George kicked me out. He didn't mean it. He's been very upset. Oh, I know. You don't have to apologize, but, well, look, I hope you won't be offended by this. But maybe he should talk to someone. You know, get some help. He was really wild. You think I'm nuts, huh? Now, George, I didn't mean that. I know what you meant, and I don't have to take that from you. George, he just thinks you should talk to someone. I don't have to talk to anybody, and I don't have to talk to him. So why don't you get out of my house? George. I said get out, both of you. Karen, maybe we'd better go. All right. I'll call you later. Goodbye. Good night, Karen. Goodbye. Take it easy, George. Just get out! Now! All right. Good night, Karen. Good night, Jerry. Now! Goodbye, George. You're drunk. What up? You got no right telling me I'm crazy. You have no right throwing him out like that. I've got every right. It's my house, too. Anne is my friend. They came here to be with us, and you behave like an animal. What? Professional help. I couldn't speak to Karen, and Jerry wouldn't understand. I decided to call Ralph. Oh, they just let him go, and it's not fair. That's all I've been thinking about, Ralph. Who was who? Pam, a little visit. We can't get away with it. That's good, Ralph. Okay. Goodbye. Who lives and will teach him a lesson. We'll make him pay for it. This message from your local station. That's what my son would have said. Dad, you just don't understand how it is to be in my shoes. And so I said, Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll do what you do for a day. I'll see how it is. Oh, first it was great. I slept in till 20 minutes, too, like Willard does. But then after school, Willard told me... The garage is dirty. Would you mind cleaning it up? And I told him... I'll see about it later. Willard, and he said... You'll see about it, man. All right, all right. So I did. But I wasn't very happy about it. Well, after supper, I thought I might catch a little TV, but then Willard reminded me... Um, don't you have homework to do? Two things I know for sure. One is, I'm gonna work harder to understand how Willard feels. And two, I gotta get Willard's shoes off. My feet are killing me. Listening, caring, and sharing. That's what understanding is all about. From the Mormons, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm lost and lonely, scared and sad, but times are so cold, if lives like this... It was written by a man now serving time in a state prison. It is estimated that there are at least one million cases of child abuse in America each year. Child abusers and their children can both be helped. Find out how. Right, Prevent Child Abuse, Box 2866, Chicago, Illinois, 60690. Please stop the hurt. I've suffered since my birth. A message of the Ad Council and the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse. We had the funeral and somehow I managed to get through the rest of the week. But all I could think about was getting crimped. I found out where he lived and wrote past his house continually. I watched his every move. I memorized his schedule. I know who his friends were and when they were likely to come by. I became obsessed with finding out everything I possibly could about him to use in plotting my revenge. Finally, one night after dinner I couldn't stand thinking about it any longer. It was time to act. I called Ralph. George. Hey, George, what's up? I got his address and everything. Oh, good. Thought maybe you'd change your mind. When do you want to go over there? Ah, I see. Tonight's not good and I've got bowling tomorrow night. Somebody's coming. I'll talk to you at work tomorrow. What are you talking to? What were you sneaking up on me for? Wasn't sneaking up on you? Who was on the phone? It was Ralph. Ralph? Who's Ralph? Somebody I met on this job. You never heard of him before? So what? Why are you so touchy about everything? I am not touchy. What were you talking about with Ralph? Nothing. Don't lie to me. Nothing. What business is it of yours anyway? I care about you. You're planning to go after that man, aren't you? Maybe I am. George, getting yourself thrown in jail isn't going to help anything. Nobody's going to put anybody in jail. Well, what are you going to do? Teach him a lesson. And you don't think he'll call the police the minute you show up? You can't just go over there. Will you leave me alone? George! Leave me alone. It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to drink all day long. Leave me alone! I'm thinking of letting my fury grow. I don't know when I fell asleep. I woke up at first light, still sitting in the chair. I didn't eat breakfast. I just sprinkled some water on my face and went to work. Hey, buddy, what's going on? Morning, Ralph. Well, what happened last night? Oh, my wife came in. I didn't want her to hear what we were talking about. Yeah, right. So, like, when do you want to go over and crack a couple of bones? Well, we got to come up with some kind of plan first. I don't want him to be able to say who did it. You want me to bring my gun? No. Hey, come on, you guys. Get to work. Yes, sir. Hey, listen. You want to come bowling with us tonight? We can talk a little. Now, smash a few pins. Take your mind off your troubles. I can't. I can't. Some neighbors are coming over. Okay. We'll make it another night. Yeah. I said get to work, and I don't mean sometime later today. Yeah, we'd better get working. I was in a stage by then where I don't even remember a word. I got cleaned up when I got home and Jerry were coming over. It turned out Jerry wanted to talk to me. Give me advice, whatever. George, whatever you do is not going to bring Billy back. He's dead. You have to see that. You think I don't? I know he's dead. Then tell me, what's the point of doing something to this Trenton? Well, it'll be justice. No, it won't. Justice is in the courts. It's justice to me, and I'll feel better. But whatever you do, they'll put you in jail. Nobody's going to put me in jail. Why not? I just won't. Well, then what about the rest of your family? Can't you see what you're putting them through? It's not me. It's Trenton. It was his fault. He's the one that's going to pay. All right, George. We're not getting anywhere. Well, you at least think about what I said. I know they were being friends trying to help us, but I couldn't control myself. I was obsessed with this need to have revenge. Karen was very quiet, sort of hesitant, and we were getting ready for bed. Did you talk to Jerry? Well, he talked to me. That's what you mean? I was hoping you'd feel better about things if you had a chance to talk to someone. I'll feel better when Trenton's paid for what he did. You've got to stop thinking that, talking that way. Well, that's how I feel. You know, we haven't spoken to each other since the accident. Not really. All you talk about is that man punishing him instead. You're punishing us. I want justice. George, if you don't stop it, I'm going to take Cindy and leave. No. Yes. I can't stand it anymore, and it's hurting Cindy. No, you can't go. Then do something. Get help. See a psychiatrist. What for? I'm not crazy. If you'll talk to a psychiatrist, I won't leave. Here. I've made an appointment for you. Tomorrow at 5.30. You already called? I've written it down. Here's the address. Now, please go. Please. Okay. I'll see your psychiatrist. The next day, I had no intention of seeing any doctor. I knew what had to be done, and I was that close to doing it. I stopped in a bar and had a few beers before I went home. I figured I'd tell Karen I'd seen her psychiatrist after work and that now everything would be fine. I'm home. You're so late. Well, it was your idea that I go see that doctor. Then why didn't you? What do you mean? I called there, George. He said you never showed up. You were checking up on me again, weren't you? You had no right. Why didn't you go? What are these suitcases doing here? I'm leaving, and I'm taking Cindy with me. I told her we were going to see Grandma. Well, Karen, you can't go. We had an agreement. All right. All right, I'll see the doctor tomorrow. Call and make another appointment. There's nothing wrong with me, but you can make another appointment. No, because you won't keep it. Don't you understand? After I get this guy Trenton, everything will be all right. Don't you see that I want to get him for you just as much as for myself? I love my son. I want to get him for Billy. He is gone now. And you can't change that. There isn't anything you or anybody can do to change that. You couldn't have loved him as much as I did. Cindy, it's time to go. And you're really helping me by leaving. When you work this out, we'll come back. Cindy, are you ready? Yes, Mommy. Goodbye, George. I'll expect to hear from you. And that was Trenton's fault. Then when I went to work the next day, there was a little surprise waiting for me. I was put on vacation. I couldn't blame them. I really wasn't doing much work. At least they didn't fire me, not officially anyway. But that was Trenton's fault, too. And that did it. I went over to see Ralph. He fired you? Put me on vacation. It's the same thing. Oh, no. He said I wasn't working hard enough. Well, he was nice about it and all. I mean, he's right and everything. Man, that Trenton sure has caused you a lot of problems. I'm going to take care of him today. You still got that gun? What gun? The one you were talking about before. Oh, yeah, but you really don't want it, do you? Where is it? Well, it's in my car, but you're not really going to go over there and do anything, are you? No. No, I just want to scare him. Well, it's in the glove compartment in my pickup. Thanks, Ralph. Call me tonight, okay? George? Call me? Ralph's gun drove directly to Trenton's house. I knew what time he'd be home, so I waited. When he arrived, I watched him go into his house, and then, after a minute, I calmly walked to the front door. I could feel the bulge of Ralph's gun under my jacket. That could be breath and luck. Yeah, it's going to help you. Remember me? You're the father of the little boy in the accident. I came to apologize for the way I acted before. May I come in? Yes, yes, certainly. Thank you. Ralph, why don't we go into the living room? I can't tell you how sorry I am about your son. So am I. Sit down, please. I prefer to stand. I hope you don't mind if I sit down. I couldn't care less. Did you come here? I told you. I know better than that. I can see it in your eyes. What? What do you see? Hate. You don't see half of it. I see a very confused man who is very angry. And why shouldn't I be? Because of you, my son is dead. My wife and daughter have left me and I've lost my job. Why shouldn't I be angry? Mr. Green, it was an accident. It was your fault. You were drunk. No, I wasn't. Mr. Green, please sit down. There's something you should know, please. All right. Won't make any difference. Why do you think the police let me go? I don't know. Because I'm sick, Mr. Green. Very sick. I have an inoperable brain tumor. The doctors have told me I have only three months to live. What the police thought was drunkenness was illness. Just before the accident, I had some kind of mild seizure, but I had recovered before it happened. What were you doing driving with something like that? The doctors said it was all right to drive. But didn't you have any signs? Didn't you think something like that might happen? No. Believe me, I never would have been driving if I thought anything like that could happen. It was still your fault, Trenton. Mr. Green, it was an accident. It was no one's fault, not mine and not your son. It was your fault. Everything that happened. Mr. Green, please. Put down that gun. You'd be getting yourself into a lot of trouble for no reason at all. It's not necessary, don't you see? I'm already a dead man. You killed my son. There was nothing I could do. He fell off his bicycle when he rode into the street. He fell directly in front of my car. It was an accident. There was nothing I could do. The gun away. There's no need for it. That's better. A few... few minutes ago, I wanted you dead. And soon I will be. You look like you could use a drink. I think I could. No, I'd rather have some coffee if it wouldn't be too much trouble. No trouble at all. Why don't you come with me to the kitchen and I'll make some. Where are you? I've been so worried. It's all right. Everything's all right. I'm coming home, Karen. We got a lot to talk about. I'm coming home. Sears Home Center Sale. We've cut $20 off the price of Sears Best Craftsman Motorized Miter Box.
