1 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,359 I'm here to tell you about a crime that was committed one week ago in a house not too far from here. 2 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,660 This man here is the criminal, and he's here to explain what he did. 3 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:33,859 I'm not crazy. I'm nervous, sure. I'm terribly nervous, but why do you think I'm crazy? 4 00:00:34,439 --> 00:00:40,560 I'll tell you what happened. I'll tell you so calmly that you'll have to believe I'm not crazy. 5 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:47,560 It all started a few weeks ago. I lived with an old man in a dark house. 6 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,560 The old man was always kind to me and I had no interest in his money or his gold. 7 00:00:53,560 --> 00:01:14,950 The creepiest eye. I couldn't stand it anymore. I would have to kill the man. 8 00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:26,280 The old man would slowly turn open the lock on the old man's door. 9 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:32,280 Slowly, slowly he would push the door open and poke his head in. 10 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:45,010 he would hold up a lantern and carefully oh so carefully open it just a little so one single 11 00:01:45,010 --> 00:01:59,260 ray of light would fall upon the old man watching him waiting for him to wake up right what a crazy 12 00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:08,000 man had been so smart on the eighth night i pushed open the door and poked my head into the old 13 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,639 That's true. But my finger slipped and I dropped it and it went crashing to the ground. 14 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,819 The old man jumped up. Who's there? he cried. 15 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:23,099 Now maybe you think I ran or I hid. 16 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,259 The man waited for a whole hour, listening to check if the old man had gone back to sleep. 17 00:02:37,259 --> 00:02:42,000 Then he carefully picked up the lantern and opened it just a little. 18 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:53,439 The door was shut directly on that evil eye, open and staring right at me. 19 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:59,580 So I leapt at the old man and pulled him out of bed. 20 00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:19,409 A few minutes later, I pulled a few pieces off the floorboard and I pushed... 21 00:03:19,409 --> 00:03:26,389 ...here to investigate the suspicious scream. 22 00:03:26,389 --> 00:03:30,530 I wasn't nervous when the police came. I had nothing to hide anymore. 23 00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:38,289 I told them that the old man was on vacation and that I had had a bad dream and that it was me that had screamed. 24 00:03:39,069 --> 00:03:42,370 The police believed the man and stayed to have a nice cup of tea. 25 00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:46,110 It was a cold night and they were happy to sit down and talk to the man. 26 00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:53,150 They had no idea of the man's body. 27 00:03:53,830 --> 00:04:00,169 As they were talking, the man started to hear a strange noise, like a drum beating very far away. 28 00:04:00,789 --> 00:04:04,930 It was getting louder and louder. Soon he could barely even hear the police talking to him. 29 00:04:05,009 --> 00:04:07,310 How could they not hear it? It was so loud! 30 00:04:07,370 --> 00:04:09,409 Getting louder and louder, faster and faster! 31 00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:12,030 And then I realised what it was! I admit it! I did it! 32 00:04:12,370 --> 00:04:13,870 Please make it stop! 33 00:04:13,870 --> 00:04:17,949 I cried to the police, for I could no longer take the guilt. 34 00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:22,129 It was the sound of the old man's beating heart. 35 00:04:23,149 --> 00:04:23,649 Thank you.
