In Cold Blood – Part 1 | True Crime Drama Mini-Series | Forensic Files

>> He comes to us as one unknown, without a name as of old. By the river, He came to
those men who knew Him not. He speaks to us the same word. Follow thou me and sets us
to the tasks that He has to fulfill for our time. He commands and to those who obey whether they be wise
or simple, He will reveal himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings that they shall pass through.
And as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn who He is. Here on the great prairie, we
are keenly aware of the turning of the seasons. As autumn turns to winter and winter to spring, so do
the seasons of our lives turn. And in each season of life, there are certain tasks which
must be accomplished if we are to grow into the next unimpeded and unimpaired. And if by circumstance or
neglect, we do not resolve the issues of one season of life, these unattended issues will
attach themselves to us and haunt us from one season to the next until they are resolved
in some manner. St. Paul suggests in First Corinthians another season around the bend in the river
of life which we call death. While we do not presume to understand the full meaning of
death, we do see that there are vast inequalities in life, unless there is a life beyond
death in which God will square things. In life, we see through a glass darkly, but then after life,
we shall see face to face, understand each other as we long to be understood, know each other
as we long to be known. Only upon the point of death shall the great mystery be revealed to us, and when we
die, we shall leave behind all that we have and take with us all that we are. For the true and the righteous,
death should not be feared, but welcomed as we welcome the first rays of glorious sunshine
glistening on the river which flows through all our seasons for all eternity. >> ♪ I come to the garden ♪

[ pounding on door ] [ pounding ] >> All right, hold your horses. I'm coming. >> Hope you're feeling lucky,
Perry. Today's the last day you're gonna be poor. >> You ever consider wearing an eye patch, Dick?
>> Get dressed. Come on, get dressed. We got shopping to do before we hit the road.
>> Where you been? >> With my kids. Went to see my kids. >> Ah, your kids, right.
Come on. >> I'm trying so hard to be good, but I just can't help myself. But you mustn't tell anybody,
will you, Tom? >> No, I won't. Indeed, I won't. >> I love you. >> Now it's all over
but the kiss. [ crowd murmurs ] Oh, ain't this fun? Why, me and Amy Lawrence down by the--
>> Amy Lawrence? [ crowd laughs ] Oh, Tom, how could you? [ crying ] [ crowd laughs ]
>> Roof's almost finished, Perry. >> We gonna be rich, Dad? >> You bet your sweet ass, kid.
We're gonna be loaded! Hyah! >> I'm gonna need one of these hunting vests. How's it look?
>> Yeah, looks good. >> Do I look good? >> Yeah. >> Can you zip that up for me? Just give it a zip. Don't worry.
I don't bite or nothing. Oh, would you look at your hands? Those are pretty hands.
They're soft, too, huh? >> Yeah. >> Soft as a baby's you know what, huh? >> [ laughs ]
>> You do the dishes? >> Uh, no. >> I got a secret for you. Give me your right hand.
Got it? >> Yeah. >> Slip it right in there. >> No! No! No! Get away from me! >> Are you buying that?
>> Knock-knock. Excuse me, sir. We've been out hunting. We got ourselves lost. Could we kindly use your phone,
sir? [ laughs ] >> What did you do to her, Dick? >> What do you mean? >> That girl.
She was acting funny. >> Yeah? Didn't notice. [ applause ] >> How about that, huh?
>> Mrs. Hodgkiss! Come here. [ cheers and applause ] >> Hello, Herb. >> Bess. >> Hi, there, Herb.
>> Sadie. >> Oh, wasn't that a swell job of acting? You know, I never cared a plugged nickel for Becky,
not in the book. But I sure liked that girl of yours tonight. An inspiration is what she was.
Don't you think so, Bonnie? >> What happened to that good strong arm of yours, Sadie?
>> Got herself clobbered by one of them sacks of mail flies off the train 100 miles per.
What got into her she wants that job, I don't know. >> I'm the only one in town gets to work in a federal
building is what. >> Did you hear that? She's calling that outhouse a federal building.
>> The stamps work, don't they? And back where I work, it's real cozy. >> Herb? >> Good evening, ladies.
Son? >> What you said was, we wouldn't need any money after tomorrow. >> That's what I said
on account it's the truth. This guy's loaded. Most successful farmer in Kansas. 10 grand a week
is what Floyd said. He gets that much out of the bank just to pay his hands. 10,000 bucks.
>> Dick, nobody keeps $10,000 just lying around the house. >> Sure, they do, baby.
They stash it nice and neat in a private safe. Why you carry all this junk around with you everywhere?
>> What junk? This book cost me 30 bucks. It's got every song I ever wrote in it, Dick.
Plus all the maps we'll ever need. Kaiser Mill, Dick. Now that's a place where a man
can shed his clothes, put on a relaxed grin and live like a Rajah and have all the women
he can do for 50 bucks a month. Cocos Island, Dick. That's where the Spaniards picked up tons of treasure.
A lot of their ships sunk, too. Eldorado, man. All we gotta do is get there, buy us a boat, and, ooh,
follow the map. >> Dad. >> Nancy, please wait for me in my office. [ engine starts and revs ]
>> But I don't wanna date other boys, Daddy. Bobby's my best friend. >> Honey, all I'm suggesting is
that it might be easier on you when you go off to K State next year if you resolve this.
>> I know Bobby's family being Catholic and us being Methodist means that there's no chance
that we'll get married. >> I know, honey, I know. I'm not asking you to cut off all contact.
A gradual break is all I'm saying, honey. It's for your own peace of mind. Don't you understand?
All right. Go get some sleep now. [ crying ] >> No witnesses. >> The last time I spoke to
the parole guys, they told me I better never set foot in Kansas again, and they meant it.
Where were you, anyway? I waited at that bus stop over an hour. >> 'Cause the old man was
around, I didn't want him to see me take a gun out of the house. Christ, and he knowed I wasn't
telling the truth. >> Known. "You knowed" isn't English. Anyway, what'd you finally tell him?
>> Like we said. Said we'd be gone tonight and tomorrow night. Said we were going to Ft. Scott
to visit your sister on account of she's holding $1,500 for you. [ engine starts ]
Ooh. >> So is your daddy sore? >> Sore? Why would he be sore? >> 'Cause he hates me.
So does your mother. I can tell the ineffable way they look at me. >> Hell, they just don't like me
seeing anybody from inside the walls. You know, anybody that wears the old fraternity pin.
You understand. >> I understand, I do. You knew good people. She's a real sweet person,
your mom. ♪ Every April ♪ ♪ Flights of parrots ♪ ♪ Pass on over me ♪ ♪ Red and green and tangerine ♪

I wish you wouldn't be so damn literal. >> You better watch out. You're gonna become
an aspirin junkie. >> I been one for seven years. I got the habit in the hospital.
>> Doctors. >> Yeah, they butchered my legs after a motorcycle accident. >> Doctors and lawyers,
what do they care? You ever see a millionaire fry in an electric chair? >> Hell, no.
>> Hell, no. Two kinds of laws, baby. One for the rich and one for the poor. What do you mean, I should wear
an eye patch anyway? >> Well, you're gonna have to hide that eye, Dickie, in case
somebody recognizes you. >> Ain't nobody gonna recognize us. No witnesses, remember?
>> Black stockings, that's what we need. Like nuns wear. You can't recognize a man with
a black stocking over his face. Black is foolproof. [ baby cries ] >> Thank you, Jake.
>> Alfred, I need you in here, honey. >> Morning, Mr. Clutter. >> Morning, Alfred.
How you doing? >> Well, we got a sick one, the baby. Me and the Missus been up and down with her all night.
You have some particular work in mind for today? 'Cause I been thinking about carrying her to the doctor,
if that's okay with you. >> Oh, of course. You take the morning off. >> Oh, thank you, sir.
>> Let me see that map you and Floyd drew of that Clutter guy's place. Okay, now where's the office?
>> Here. That's where the safe is, a wall safe. >> Do you know how to... >> Crack the safe?
>> Mm-hmm. >> Hell, no. Do you? >> Uh-uh. >> We don't need to know how to crack it, honey.
He'll do it for us, Mr. Herbert W. Clutter. He'll open it. His combination. [ laughs ]
Tell me about that nigger you killed in Vegas, Perry. I like that story. You think maybe they got some
black stockings like they threw on for us? Is that what you're thinking? [ laughs ]
>> They're a bad luck bunch, nuns, like snakes in a dream, black spiders, only worse.
>> No such thing as bad luck in my economy. It's either a well laid out plan or it ain't.
>> What can I do for you? >> Fill it. >> Yes, sir. >> It's no good letting ourselves get superstitious.
We got something we can bring off beautiful here, a cinch, a perfect score. Oh, we don't need no black
stockings covering our faces neither 'cause we ain't gonna leave no witnesses, remember?
No witnesses. >> No witnesses. [ telephone rings ] >> I'll get it. [ ring ] [ ring ring ]
>> Hello? >> Hi, Nancy. >> Oh, yes. Good morning, Mrs. Ketchum. >> Nancy, would it be too much
of an imposition to ask you to help Jolene with a pie this morning, 'cause she--
>> Uh, Mrs. Ketchum, will you hold the line for a moment, please? I just have to check with Daddy
on something. >> Fine, dear. >> Kenyon. I smell smoke, Kenyon. Dad? >> Morning, honey.
What's the matter? Is your mother-- >> No, she's sleeping. I checked before I came downstairs.
It's just Mrs. Ketchum. She's on the phone and asked if I could teach Jolene how to
bake a cherry pie...now. >> That's what you get for winning all those ribbons. >> No, but if I say yes
to Jolene, I'll miss the 4H meeting, Dad. And I won't be able to come even for the last part 'cause I
have clarinet and then I have student council and I just don't know what to tell her.
>> Well, it's up to you, honey. >> Hello? >> Hello? >> Hi. That'll be fine, Mrs. Ketchum.
You can bring Jolene right over. >> Oh, you are dream. Thank you so much, my dear.
>> Oh, you're more than welcome. >> Bye. >> Bye. >> Kenyon, Nancy's gonna stay here and teach Mrs. Ketchum's
daughter how to bake a cherry pie, which means you and me are gonna go to 4H. So you better get dressed.
Oh, Kenyon, what's 4H stand for? >> Head, heart, hands and health. Why'd you ask? You know.
>> Well, I was just making sure that you know. That must mean you also know that smoking's no good
for any of them, right? [ telephone rings ] >> Nancy? Come to the phone. >> Coming!
Hello? >> So tell me. >> We went to the movies and we held hands. >> Was it scary?
>> Holding hands with Bobby? Are you out of your mind? >> No, the movie. >> Well, Bobby didn't think so,
but you know me. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. >> Are you having breakfast?
>> No, why? >> You're eating your fingernails and I can tell. What's wrong? >> It's Daddy.
When I got home last night, he started that crap again. >> Gosh, I wish he could
understand that you love Bobby. Can't he understand that? >> I think he knows. It's just when I say anything
to him, he looks like maybe I don't love him anymore and then all I wanna do is be a good
daughter and do what he wants. [ car door closes ] I'm sorry, Susie, I gotta go.
It's Mrs. Ketchum and her daughter. I gotta teach her how to bake a cherry pie. Bye.
[ doorbell rings ] >> Nancy. Oh, it's so nice of you to do this. I been telling Jolene that
you'd been the Old Comanchero Pie Champion for two years now. >> Everyone knows that, Mama.
>> We saw you in "Tom Sawyer" last night, Nancy. I don't know how to tell you how lovely you looked.
And that part when you thought Tom was engaged to somebody else? Those were real tears
in your eyes. As good as anything on TV. >> Well, Jolene and I better get started.
>> I've got some shopping to do. I'll be back around lunchtime, okay? >> That'll be fine,
Mrs. Ketchum. I might have to go when we're done, but my mom will be here. Somebody anyway.
>> What about us buying a boat? Something cheap, but sturdy. Then we can go to Japan.
>> I thought you wanted to go diving for treasure. What happened to that idea? You just remember
you can't swim? >> Yeah, we could sail all the way across the Pacific. Thanks. It's been done.
Thousands of people have done it. I'm not conning you, Dick. You'd really go for Japan.
>> How do you know? >> I was there on R&R from the Korea War to the-- >> Bronze Star.
>> Yeah, beautiful, gentle people, the Japanese, with manners. They're really considerate.
Not just out for your dough like they are here. And the women? Oh, Dick, the women.
Man, you never had a real woman-- >> Yes, I have. >> Not like I'm talking. There's these baths in Kyoto.
There's this one called the dream pool, and you go in there and you stretch out and these
beautiful knock-out type girls, they come scrub you from head to toe. >> Yeah, yeah.
You told me all about it back in grad school. >> So? I can't repeat myself? I know what I'm thinking is
what we're gonna do with all that dough, you know? >> Diapers, Perry. Diapers! Is that what you want
so you can do this until you're a grown man? Lazy, that's what you are. Too lazy to get up.
Every night you end up doing in your bed what the filthiest animal wouldn't do where it sleeps.
Come here! We're going to clean you up. [ boys laugh ] >> He's getting a whipping.
>> What's the matter now? What is it, honey? Tell me. >> Where is she? >> Who? Where's who?
>> ♪ My yellow bird ♪ ♪ Taller than Jesus ♪ ♪ Brighter than the sun ♪ ♪ She folds me in her wings ♪
♪ And lifts me up to paradise ♪ ♪ My amazing angel ♪ >> You been dreaming, Perry.
You just been off in one of them dreams you carry around in that wild Indian head of yours.
What was it? >> Can I get y'all some homemade pumpkin pie? >> Just the bill, sweetheart.
>> You're not going anywhere with me, are you? You don't wanna go to Mexico, do you?
You don't wanna buy a boat and I know you don't wanna go to Japan, do you? Hell, you don't even know
where we're headed at. Holcomb, Kansas. So where the hell is Holcomb, Kansas, Dick?
You don't know. You don't know this farmer or where he keeps his money. Hell, you don't even know
if he has any damn money. All you know is what some con told you back at the walls,
what he scribbled on some silly-ass map. Floyd. Floyd Wells. >> Wrong. Wrong on all counts, honey.
I know what I'm doing and I know the man's rich and I know we're gonna score this time and score big.
And then we're going to Mexico, baby. We'll buy us a boat. We'll sail the damn thing
across the Pacific Ocean all the way to Japan if that's what you want, okay? >> Y'all come back now.
>> Who was you really looking for, Perry? >> Were. Who were you looking for? Never mind.
It was just a dream. Just a useless dream. [ ding ] >> Let's eat it right now. Forget letting it cool
and stuff. Let's both have a slice, and you, too, Mrs. Clutter. >> Well, I can't.
I have to be at Roxy Lee's. Oh, Lord, I had to be there for her clarinet solo 10 minutes ago.
I'm sorry, Jolene. >> Well, you go, dear. I'll keep Jolene company till her mother gets back.
>> Bye. >> Bye. >> Mr. Clutter, you know, travels a great deal. Seems like he's never at home
sometimes. But wherever he goes, he always remembers how I dote on tiny things. You set yourself down
right here. This one, he brought back from San Francisco. It only cost a penny, but isn't it pretty?
>> Uh-huh. >> Now, little things, they really belong to you. They don't have to be
left behind ever, and they're easy to carry. So you always have something of your own with you, something
that's really yours in case you never do come back. You know, it's only a penny thing, but I think it's pretty.
>> Me, too. >> You keep it. >> Well, thank you, Mrs. Clutter. >> You're welcome, dear.
[ doorbell rings ] >> Hello? Anyone home? >> Mama, look what Mrs. Clutter gave me.
>> Oh, isn't that adorable. She gave that to you? >> Yeah. >> Oh, how funny. >> Well, Herb Clutter.
My goodness. To what do we owe this honor? >> Well, now you're gonna have to take that up with Al.
He's the one who's bringing me here. >> Good afternoon, Alvin. >> Bess. Cherry or apple today?
>> Rhubarb, and it's good. You about pie and coffee? >> Yes, ma'am. >> I'd offer you some coffee,
but I know you don't drink it. Could I get you something else? >> Milk, and I'm gonna have
a piece of that pie, too, Bess. >> Herb, I guess I'm talking to you on a somewhat
official capacity. On the other hand, I'm not really supposed to be telling you this.
>> Well, whatever we're talking about, Al, if you wanted to keep it in confidence, perhaps
we should have chosen another place. >> Well, Herb, how'd you like to be Methodist Layman
of the Year? Try and contain that wild enthusiasm of yours. >> Well, I'm grateful. I am.
The Bishop? >> That's next week's meeting. I just wanted to give you some warning.
>> Well, then there's still time to give it to someone else. You, for instance. >> Well, not me.
Besides, the bureau wouldn't approve. >> Oh, come on. >> Oh, Mr. Hoover approves
the religion all right. Just not of any of any of his agents making big show-offs
of ourselves. >> Well, it's the same deal with me, Al. You and I, we helped to build
God's house to praise Him, not to ennoble ourselves. >> Exactly what I told them
you'd say, which is why I wanted to save everybody the embarrassment, why I wanted
to check with you first. >> Thank you. >> Well, being that you're standing there, why don't you
just go and tell us what you think? >> Herb Clutter, false modesty doesn't suit you one bit.
Now you done us real proud when Eisenhower appointed you to that Farm Board deal.
Why don't you let 'em give you a dinner over at the church? Hell, they wouldn't even have
a building it if wasn't for you. >> The reward I seek is not of this earth, but in God's
kingdom. >> Amen. Now which disciple said that? I know it. It's on the tip of my tongue.
>> Darned if I know. >> [ laughs ] >> Make sure you got the clutch all the way to the floor
before you shift. >> Yes, sir. I'm trying. >> All right, yeah. All the way to the floor.
Attaboy. Doing fine. Come on, son. Clutch all the way to the floor. There you go.
Easy, easy, easy. Okay, now get ready to apply the brakes, all right? Now easy, easy.
Kenyon? Kenyon? Kenyon, wait a minute. Kenyon! Just running away from something because it scares you
does not make it go away. >> It doesn't scare me. I just get nervous sometimes. >> Well, I know.
You wanna do well and that's natural. Everybody gets nervous sometimes. >> You don't.
>> I don't? Well, of course, I do. >> Yeah? When? >> Well, I don't know. I'm not too fond of getting up
in front of folks and making a speech. >> At church? Come on, Dad. You can stand up there
and talk to hundreds of people. Just nothing scares you. >> ♪ I come ♪ ♪ To the garden alone ♪

am I doing here anyway? >> You say you just wanna sit there and sing about Jesus?
>> Well, what would you like me to do, Dick? Huh? Sit around all day and think of
the perfect score? Plan that well laid out plan, huh? Hey, Dick! I'm talking to you, Dick.
Okay, what are we gonna find when we get there? Who we gonna find when we get there?
What are we gonna do with who we find when we get there? >> How the hell should I know
who and what we're gonna find? >> You damn well better know before dark, Dick, before we
get there or else it won't be anything like the well laid out plan, now, will it?
>> You wanna know how many people there gonna be? Is that it? >> Yeah, for one. And I wanna know if there's
neighbors and how far they live from the house. I mean, you didn't get much from Floyd except that
crude floor plan. Hell, he didn't even tell you where the damn safe is. And the ineffable happens,
you know, Dick? It does. >> There's gonna be him, her, the kid and a girl. >> A girl.
How old is the girl? >> Sweet 16, sugar. Pretty as a fresh-picked flower is what Floyd says.
Nancy Clutter, kind of kid makes a boy's heart kind of hurt is what he said. [ laughs ]
>> You're not a boy, Dick. >> Okay, okay. Let's see. It's Saturday, so the two older
girls, two women, sisters probably visiting. They're married, I think. That makes eight
and they might have company. 12. The only sure thing is no witnesses, right? Ain't that what I promised you,
honey? No witnesses. Plenty of hair on them walls. >> Those walls. Yeah. [ doorbell rings ]
>> Bob. >> Herb. >> Come on in. >> How are you today? >> I'm good. We can convene in my office
to the left. >> All righty. That'd be fine. >> Bonnie is the only one who drinks coffee in our house.
I can make you some or you could have some water. >> Oh, water's fine, Herb. Thank you.
>> There you go. >> Well, here it is, what we call a solemn moment. >> Yes. [ chuckles ]
>> You know, it's a time when a man can look back on his life and take measure of all that
he's accomplished. I like to compare it to signing a will. It's a crossroads in some ways
except there's a long road ahead for you, Herb. >> Well, a lot of thought's gone into this, Bob,
as you well know. >> Yes, sir. It was almost a year ago today you first came to see me.
[ chuckles ] A year ago. Of course, I knew about Herb Clutter even then. You know what someone
told me today? The day haircuts went to $1.50, Herb Clutter writes the barber a check. [ laughs ]
It's what they said. >> It's the only way to do business, in my opinion. Those tax fellows come poking
around, a cancelled check is a man's best friend. Cash money, I've heard tell, is for tips and that is a fact.
Now, I've got plenty to be grateful for in this life, Bob. Wonderful things. Take the kids.
I've been lucky there. Here. These are my older daughters. This is my eldest, Evana,
and this is Beverly. Evana's married to Don Jarchal, and I can't tell you how much
I think of that boy. And, Vern English, the man that my Beverly had the good sense
to settle on, if anything were to ever happen to me, I could trust those boys to take full
responsibility. >> Oh, hell, Herb, you're a young man. 48 is young. No, from the looks of you
and what the doctors are saying, I reckon we'll have you around for a few weeks longer.
>> Well, to tell you the truth, Bob, I feel pretty good. [ laughs ] Optimistic. I got an idea a man could make
some real money around here in the next few years. Well, speaking of money, I've
got the first payment on your policy and here's the check that you've been dying to--
Oh, I won't say it. [ both laugh ] I won't say it. There you go, Bob. >> Hey. >> Something to drink?
>> Yeah. >> Yeah? Here, let me help you out. >> Oh, thanks. >> Perry, come on in.
My angel. My handsome little angel. >> Come on. You get to play with your mama all the time.
It's my turn now. >> It's okay, Perry. You go now, okay? Go on. Go now! >> Come on, let's go.
>> Go home, Perry. Now! You whore! [ arguing ] [ fighting and screaming ] >> Oh!
Stop! Get off! What are you doing? What's the matter with you? >> You been swimming that horse
in the river, girl, again? >> Sure have, Mr. Stocklein. Babe's gotta have a bath, too.
Look at how happy she is. I heard your baby crying before. >> Yeah, she's been sick
for two days now. >> I'm sorry to hear that. I'll bring you some apple juice from the orchard after church
tomorrow. Daddy just made some. >> Well, thank you, Nancy. >> Good night, Mr. Stocklein.
>> Good night. >> You want a drink? >> What is it? >> Fruit and vegetable mix. Potato and orange juice.
>> Mm. Vodka. >> Yeah, vodka. One more, save the rest. We might could need it soon
on account of we're near the end of the damn rainbow. >> Is mama gonna come down
for supper tonight? >> No, honey, mama's resting. >> Didn't she look good last night?
>> Where you been? >> I was taking Babe for a swim. >> Honey, Babe won't mind the cold, but--
>> Babe's too fat to feel cold. >> You go upstairs and change before you get pneumonia.
>> Daddy, what about tonight? >> No. No more going to the movies, no more parties.
Not till after Thanksgiving. You can ask Bobby Rupp to come over and listen to the game
if you like. >> Okay. I'll call him as soon as I get some dry clothes on. [ turns on radio ]

Don't even think 'em. >> Oh, baby, it's true. I'm too nervous to go downstairs in my own house.
I don't know what's wrong. I just can't seem to keep up with any of you. >> Came to the play last night
and you looked so beautiful. Everybody was saying so. You're getting better. Even Kenyon can tell.
We're just gonna listen to the game. Bobby's coming over, so it's just the five of us.
Why don't you let me help you get your robe on? >> No, no, no, honey. I'm tired, really.
>> I'll make some coffee for you. Bobby likes you and you know it, and you like him.
Please, mama? [ vehicle approaches ] [ car door shuts ] >> Is daddy being spiky about Bobby Rupp, baby?
Is that what's bothering you? [ doorbell rings ] He doesn't mean to, you know. The last thing daddy wants
is to get in the way of anybody over anything. He just can't help himself sometimes.
Go on. You go downstairs and enjoy yourself. >> Good night. I love you, Mama. [ thunder ]
[ honk honk ] [ honk honk honk ] >> Fill 'er up? >> Yeah. Check the oil and water.
>> You all right, mister? >> Hey, kid? You gonna fill it this year? >> Yeah, right away, sir.
>> Oh, man. >> You getting a case of blood bubbles all of a sudden, honey? >> Here. Hold this.
>> Is that what it is? We're close enough to smell the damn money. Now you think it's time
that you can help us? I'm talking to you, Perry. >> Dammit, I'm talking to you. Don't you ever do that again.
Nobody lays a hand on me, not you, not anybody. You understand? [ groaning ]
