Are you a collector? I find the world of collectibles fascinating. There are those who collect stamps, comic books, coins, and even toys. Some people will spend millions of dollars on their collections, while others, it is simply a hobby.

1:13 Speaker 2: Uncle, please! I have to have that money!

1:17 Speaker 4: Perhaps if you didn't gamble, you would have the money.

1:21 Speaker 2: These people are dangerous! Do you know what they could do?

1:24 Speaker 4: I would really like to help you, Danielle. I really would.

1:29 Speaker 2: You have a treasure around here. While they're looking at the way you live, you wouldn't know it.

1:35 Speaker 4: There is no treasure, Danny.

4:44 Speaker 4: I just like to read about it.

4:46 Speaker 1: Try a book. A real book. With words and no pictures. I'm sorry.

4:52 Speaker 3: Sorry. Sorry.

4:53 Speaker 1: Sorry. You're always sorry.

4:56 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry.

5:34 Speaker 2: Hi, Uncle.

5:35 Speaker 4: What brings you way out here?

5:37 Speaker 2: I thought it was time for a visit.

5:39 Speaker 7: Come in, come in.

5:40 Speaker 4: It has been too long.

5:43 Speaker 2: How have you been?

5:45 Speaker 4: Oh, you know, same old aches, same old pains. Every year they get a little worse, but I'm still kicking.

5:54 Speaker 2: Um, does Miss Blanchard still come out? Of course.

5:57 Speaker 3: Of course.

5:59 Speaker 4: I can't believe that she will still come out three times a week, even after I'm gone.

6:05 Speaker 2: Oh, Uncle, you always knew how to make me laugh.

6:11 Speaker 4: You have a beautiful smile, Danielle. You should always wear it. Come, in here.

6:18 Speaker 2: Can I pour you a drink?

6:19 Speaker 4: If you don't mind.

6:20 Speaker 2: Usual?

6:21 Speaker 4: Is there any other?

6:25 Speaker 2: There you go.

6:26 Speaker 4: Thank you, my dear. Oh, just right. Now, sit down and tell me everything that you know.

6:35 Speaker 2: That should only take a minute.

6:38 Speaker 4: Oh, Danielle, how is work?

6:40 Speaker 2: Work is, you know, work.

6:44 Speaker 4: The top photographer on the magazine, and you say work is work? What exciting places have you been?

6:53 Speaker 2: I don't work for the magazine anymore.

6:55 Speaker 4: Danielle, what happened?

6:58 Speaker 6: Oh, a stupid argument with a publisher that didn't know how to keep his hands to himself.

7:06 Speaker 4: Tell me you gave him a swift kick right in his.

7:09 Speaker 2: He won't be singing bass for a while.

7:13 Speaker 4: That's my girl. So, what are you doing with yourself?

7:18 Speaker 2: Um, just some freelance work. I sold a layout to Wonder Magazine last month.

7:24 Speaker 4: Well, you look happy. I.

7:27 Speaker 2: I am.

7:28 Speaker 3: What about....

7:30 Speaker 4: What was his name?

7:32 Speaker 2: Don't even mention him.

7:33 Speaker 4: Out of the picture?

7:35 Speaker 2: Out of the world, as far as I'm concerned.

7:37 Speaker 4: I am sorry, Danielle.

7:40 Speaker 6: Now, why is it that you are the only person that I will allow get away with calling me Danielle?

7:48 Speaker 4: Because you love me. And I love you. Which is why I have waited so long to ask the.

7:57 Speaker 2: Question What question is that, Uncle?

8:01 Speaker 4: What really brought you all the way out here?

8:05 Speaker 3: Danielle takes a long drink, her nerves suddenly tensing up. She is thinking about how to approach her uncle so that she can save her own life. I'll return shortly with Act 2. For more episodes, subscribe to our YouTube channel at Doorway to Nightmare. Danielle Woodring has made a trek to the country to visit her Uncle Boris. She has only one week to pay back a rather dubious character named Blake $ 100, 000. Boris has now confronted Danielle to find out why she has chosen to visit him.

9:21 Speaker 2: Uncle, what makes you think I want to ask you anything?

9:25 Speaker 4: Child, I know you too well. Ever since I answered the door, I knew that there was something troubling you.

9:33 Speaker 2: I could never hide anything from you, could I?

9:39 Speaker 4: Now why would you try? You know that when your parents died, I promised to take care of you. I've never forgotten that promise.

9:49 Speaker 2: And you do want to help me, right?

9:52 Speaker 4: In any way I can.

9:58 Speaker 3: Okay, I.

10:00 Speaker 2: Might need some money.

10:02 Speaker 4: Of course. Is that the only problem? How much do you need?

10:07 Speaker 2: Uncle Boris, I would need a lot.

10:12 Speaker 4: Anything for you, Danielle.

10:14 Speaker 2: A hundred thousand?

10:15 Speaker 4: A hundred thousand dollars?

10:18 Speaker 7: Yes.

10:19 Speaker 4: Danielle, why so much?

10:21 Speaker 2: Oh, Uncle, I'm not doing well at all. I lost my job, my fiancé, my apartments.

10:31 Speaker 4: What happened?

10:34 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened.

10:36 Speaker 4: You can fool some people with that talk, Danielle Woodring, but not your Uncle Boris.

10:42 Speaker 2: I don't understand.

10:44 Speaker 4: It's the problem again, isn't it?

10:50 Speaker 7: Yes.

10:51 Speaker 3: Gambling.

10:52 Speaker 4: I have told you and told you.

10:54 Speaker 2: What about you?

10:56 Speaker 4: What about me?

10:58 Speaker 2: You and all of this junk. How much have you spent?

11:03 Speaker 4: That has nothing to do with... You have a problem and now you want me to pay for it.

11:09 Speaker 2: I just need a little. Just a little of my inheritance.

11:13 Speaker 4: That money is safe. And it will remain that way.

11:16 Speaker 2: I need it. You don't know these people. They're dangerous.

11:22 Speaker 4: Then you should call the police. Let them protect you.

11:26 Speaker 2: You don't understand.

11:27 Speaker 4: Danielle, I do understand. You don't understand. I have no fortune.

11:34 Speaker 3: What?

11:36 Speaker 4: I'm not sitting on a mountain of wealth.

11:38 Speaker 2: But you told me.

11:40 Speaker 4: I told you that I was comfortable. And I am.

11:43 Speaker 2: Look, old man. I need that money.

11:47 Speaker 4: Danielle, please listen to me.

11:50 Speaker 2: You have it. You know you do. I need it.

11:55 Speaker 4: Please, Danielle, I.

11:58 Speaker 2: Uncle?

12:00 Speaker 4: Danielle, please, my medicine.

12:02 Speaker 2: My need. What medicine?

12:04 Speaker 4: On the desk. Over there. Please, Danielle.

12:09 Speaker 2: All the way across the room?

12:11 Speaker 7: Please.

12:13 Speaker 6: A silly place for something that can help you, isn't it?

12:17 Speaker 4: Danny, please. Is it this?

12:22 Speaker 2: Oh, it's very hard to open. Please. Oh, there we go.

12:27 Speaker 4: Please.

12:28 Speaker 7: Oopsie.

12:29 Speaker 2: Please. Silly me.

12:31 Speaker 4: Danny, please.

12:34 Speaker 5: Why don't you just come over here and help me? I'm doing my best, Uncle. Just like you said that You would help me. I'm doing my best to help you. Like you were supposed to help me.

12:49 Speaker 2: Danny, please. Oh, Danny, is it? You could have just got it yourself.

12:58 Speaker 4: Danielle.

13:03 Speaker 6: Now, I can look for your hidden treasure.

13:06 Speaker 7: Huh, uncle?

13:08 Speaker 2: Uncle?

13:11 Speaker 3: Things have certainly taken a turn for the worse. Danielle looks at the body of her uncle lying dead on the floor. She begins to think of places not to hide the body, but to look for a treasure. We shall look into Act 3 shortly.

14:50 Speaker 5: I remember as a child you always had money, but you never left the house.

14:58 Speaker 2: So where is it?

15:01 Speaker 5: Where in this godforsaken house in the middle of nowhere did you hide all that money?

15:18 Speaker 2: It has to be here. Somewhere! Where have you hidden it?

15:29 Speaker 2: It has to be here. Somewhere. Damn it, Uncle! Where is it? They're gonna kill me!

15:39 Speaker 4: Don't you understand? I have to have that money today!

15:43 Speaker 2: Not tomorrow.

15:45 Speaker 7: Today!

15:47 Speaker 4: Where is it, you miserable old bastard?

15:53 Speaker 3: Danielle.

15:55 Speaker 4: Who's there?

15:59 Speaker 2: Uncle Boris? Uncle Boris, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

16:05 Speaker 4: It's all right, Johnny.

16:06 Speaker 3: I understand.

16:08 Speaker 4: Please, Uncle, please.

16:10 Speaker 2: Just tell me where you hid your fortune. It is why I.

16:58 Speaker 2: What is this? What is this?

17:03 Speaker 1: Looks like a room full of junk.

17:05 Speaker 7: Blake!

17:05 Speaker 1: Yes, Mr.

17:07 Speaker 3: Blake.

17:08 Speaker 1: Well, uh, I'm here. Exactly one week later. Do you have my money?

17:16 Speaker 2: It has to be here somewhere.

17:18 Speaker 1: All I see is a whole lot of junk. Look, an old oil lamp. Bunch of dusty books. Hey, you found the mother load. A little red wagon. You know, I used to have one of these when I was a kid. Now where's my money?

17:38 Speaker 2: I just need a little more time.

17:41 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Danny. I'm afraid your time is up.

17:45 Speaker 3: Artemis?

17:46 Speaker 2: Artemis, please!

17:49 Speaker 4: It's just business, Danny.

17:59 Speaker 4: Blake.

17:59 Speaker 1: Come on, I need a shower.

18:01 Speaker 4: Wait a second. Look at this.

18:03 Speaker 3: Artemis, I'm tired.

18:05 Speaker 1: I am very, very tired. You know how I get when I get tired. Will you just look at this for a second, please?

18:13 Speaker 7: What?

18:14 Speaker 1: Did you find the Holy Grail? I think I did. Congratulations. You found an old dusty book.

18:21 Speaker 4: Not just a book.

18:24 Speaker 2: This is a first edition Edgar Allan Poe.

18:27 Speaker 1: A book is a book, so what of it?

18:29 Speaker 4: No, I was just reading about this.

18:32 Speaker 2: Blake, one of these just sold at auction for over $ 600, 000.

18:36 Speaker 4: Well, isn't that a shame? What do you know?

18:44 Speaker 1: I guess Danny could have paid me back after all. And then some. Let's go.

18:51 Speaker 3: Neither a borrower or lender be, according to Ben Franklin. And when and if you borrow, you should always read the fine print. I understand that the interest rate can be quite high. I'll be back shortly.

20:38 Speaker 2: They had better be thankful they got that. I mean, who do they think they are?

20:44 Speaker 4: Something has got to be done about this. And I mean now.

20:48 Speaker 3: Oh, Control swore that the head office was working on the problem.
