Warning: Spoilers
After viewing this episode several times throughout the years there's so much more than what is presented. The lighting and the shadows gives it a creepy presence we can't see but certainly can feel. Agnes Cudahy is his understanding landlady. Susan the little girl is her niece. Jonathan talks to caesar telling he'd never leave him like the other guy (the shame of it all abandoning you for some woman") I think he heard his mother say it his whole life. Then caesar tells him to quit kidding himself he's finished. I think Susan resents her aunts affections to Jonathan not her. Ever. Jonathan has no skills at all no wit for a ventriloquist. Caesar is verbally abusive to him. Then again he is "Dimwitted" Susan hears him talking with caesar. He tries ago at the employment office. No skills of any sort, he's not a citizen either. I don't think he ever saw a file cabinet just how hesite he is then watching it as its closed. No job Susan berated him and pokes fun at him. Caesar talks him into robbery. He succeeds and pays rent and has food. Jonathan doesn't want much in life unlike caesar. What really gets creepy is the way caesar eyeballs Susan while she's in Jonathan's room. Now there's a smart lid. So when he gets back to his room he catches Susan coming out shocked. Jonathan sees a smashed cigar and frets caesar"sit down!!!" Just like a gangster type film. Jonathan always does as hes told. He then gets talked into big robbery , seeing him chewing on his fingers and the way he acts is childish. Caesar wanted him to get caught that's why the timing. Night watchman sees him I guess he didn't know enough to wait. Susan then hears him talking again. Aunt reads paper about robbery creepy how Susan looks at her. Calls ythe police, that state by the phone reminded me of Susan the girl is reading leaning on her hand but that could be Susan how she felt inside. Her aunt did not like the idea of having her around. Jonathan in his room which looked like more of a storage room. He's actually drinking I think he was repeating another line of his mother. Caesar pokes at him. Anyway cops are at the door. Jonathan's provaricates his answers "ohhhh that nightclub" tries to get caesar to help him to explain. The way he kept fondling that puppets face was creepy. Pleading with him to help Jim I'm not a thief. Susan comes in to watch her aunt and police. Holding caesar to his chest that must have been his mom did regular basis. No help from him. The cops take him away. They all leave except Susan who gets called by caesar. He tells her she's hip and likes her. He tells her he'll take her to new york, and get rid of her aunt by using this poison dart gu. That's right! She was a brat but I give her a little space. Jonathan was to dennse to figure anything out. Unbelievable. I do like this show creepy as it was was one of the better. Un.
