Screen Directors Playhouse, stars Joseph Cotton, Mercedes McCambridge, production, spellbound, director,

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:25.800
Alfred Hitchcock. This is the Screen Directors Playhouse, the Thursday
3
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.839
night feature on NBC's all-star festival of comedy, music, mystery,
4
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.530
and drama. Brought to you by the makers of Anacin,
5
00:00:32.649 --> 00:00:34.850
for the fast relief from the pain of headache, neuritis,
6
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:39.399
and neuralgia, and RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first
7
00:00:39.439 --> 00:01:02.969
in recorded music, first in television. And now, our host
8
00:01:03.049 --> 00:01:07.390
narrator for tonight, the distinguished director of Spellbound, the master
9
00:01:07.430 --> 00:01:08.489
of suspense, Mr.
10
00:01:08.569 --> 00:01:21.310
Alfred Hitchcock. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Alfred Hitchcock.
11
00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:24.859
The prime desire of any motion picture maker is to
12
00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:29.030
entertain his audience. but occasionally an idea is presented that
13
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:33.120
can prove to be both entertaining and instructive. When we
14
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.459
achieve such a wedding of qualities, we feel we really
15
00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:39.560
have something. And this was the case in the story
16
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.480
you are about to hear. Spellbound was the first motion
17
00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:47.790
picture to deal with psychoanalysis, the method by which modern
18
00:01:47.870 --> 00:01:52.170
science treats the emotional problems of the sane. The analyst
19
00:01:52.209 --> 00:01:54.849
seeks only to induce the patient to talk about his
20
00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:58.719
hidden problems, to open the locked doors of his mind.
21
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:03.370
Once the complexes that are disturbing the patient are uncovered
22
00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:08.050
and interpreted, the illness and confusion of the patient disappear,
23
00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:12.050
and the devils of unreason are driven from the human soul.
24
00:02:13.569 --> 00:02:17.060
To portray the roles of Dr. Edwards and Dr. Constance Peterson,
25
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.300
we are indeed fortunate to have Mr. Joseph Cotton and
26
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:24.280
Miss Mercedes McCambridge, and now the first act of Spellbound,
27
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:28.930
which begins in the office of Dr Constance Peterson, a
28
00:02:28.949 --> 00:02:31.789
psychiatrist on the staff of Green Manners in Vermont.
29
00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:38.840
MUSIC PLAYS.
30
00:02:55.669 --> 00:02:58.370
Dr. Peterson, I've been watching your work for six months.
31
00:02:58.949 --> 00:03:00.810
It's brilliant, but lifeless.
32
00:03:01.669 --> 00:03:02.909
There's no intuition in it.
33
00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:07.289
Your lack of human and emotional experience is bad for
34
00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:11.490
you as a doctor and fatal for you as a woman.
35
00:03:11.530 --> 00:03:11.870
Dr.
36
00:03:11.909 --> 00:03:15.449
Fleurot, I've heard that argument from a number of amorous
37
00:03:15.469 --> 00:03:18.889
psychiatrists who all wanted to make a better doctor of me.
38
00:03:19.069 --> 00:03:21.069
Oh, yes, but I've got a much better argument.
39
00:03:22.030 --> 00:03:23.150
I'm terribly fond of you.
40
00:03:23.250 --> 00:03:23.530
Why?
41
00:03:23.550 --> 00:03:26.020
Well, for one, you're Beautiful.
42
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:27.900
If you please, I'd prefer it if you removed your
43
00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:29.319
arm from round my waist.
44
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.580
Constance, you're not a textbook. You're a sweet, pulsing, adorable woman. Underneath,
45
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:36.949
I sense it every time I come near you.
46
00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:40.080
You sense only your own desires and pulsations. I assure you,
47
00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:43.879
mine in no way resemble them. And now, Doctor, I'm
48
00:03:43.930 --> 00:03:46.469
very busy. If you'd care to, why don't you report
49
00:03:46.509 --> 00:03:49.389
your observations of me to our new chief of staff, Dr. Edwards?
50
00:03:50.250 --> 00:04:05.870
I understand where to meet him at lunch. Twenty years
51
00:04:05.930 --> 00:04:10.169
of loyalty and tireless effort. It's hard to imagine green
52
00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:14.150
manners without you, Dr. Murchison. This institution could never have
53
00:04:14.189 --> 00:04:15.490
a finer chief of staff.
54
00:04:15.930 --> 00:04:18.930
Thank you, Constance. But the old must make way for
55
00:04:18.949 --> 00:04:19.290
the new.
56
00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:20.709
When are you leaving?
57
00:04:20.769 --> 00:04:24.689
In a few weeks. Oh, here we are. Good afternoon, gentlemen.
58
00:04:24.709 --> 00:04:25.379
Good afternoon. Good afternoon.
59
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:26.449
How do you do?
60
00:04:26.490 --> 00:04:26.569
Dr.
61
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.459
Edwards, may I present Dr. Constance Peterson.
62
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.399
How do you do? Be seated.
63
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:32.139
Thank you, Doctor.
64
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.660
I've heard a great deal about you, Dr. Peterson.
65
00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:38.300
And naturally, I have about you. You're younger than I
66
00:04:38.339 --> 00:04:38.980
thought you would be.
67
00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:41.899
My age hasn't caught up with me yet.
68
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.519
I gather it won't. I've read your Labyrinth of the
69
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.750
Guilt Complex. It's an excellent work.
70
00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:49.430
I'm very grateful. Dr.
71
00:04:49.449 --> 00:04:51.790
Murchison has been kind enough to show me over the grounds.
72
00:04:52.129 --> 00:04:55.490
Green Manors is a remarkable institution, must be. Quite beautiful
73
00:04:55.509 --> 00:04:55.949
in the summer.
74
00:04:56.389 --> 00:05:01.110
Yes, it offers various open-air diversions for our

patients. Did Dr.
75
00:05:01.129 --> 00:05:02.569
Murchison show you the elm grove?
76
00:05:02.629 --> 00:05:02.850
Yes.
77
00:05:03.550 --> 00:05:05.310
That's where we hope to have our new swimming pool.
78
00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:07.360
That is, with your permission.
79
00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:09.660
Well, you have it. I'm a great believer in swimming pools.
80
00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:10.100
Splendid.
81
00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:13.660
There's a perfect spot for it among the elms. Not
82
00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:17.459
an oblong pool, but an irregular one. Something like this. Look,
83
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:18.980
I'll draw the outline with my fork.
84
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:20.540
Stop it.
85
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:20.879
What?
86
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:22.879
I'm afraid I don't understand.
87
00:05:22.899 --> 00:05:24.319
Now, don't ever do that again.
88
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:25.980
Well, I did withdraw these lines.
89
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.990
Waiter, waiter, get this tablecloth off immediately and replace it
90
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:29.750
with another right now.
91
00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:30.910
I'm sorry if I've done anything.
92
00:05:30.970 --> 00:05:31.670
Hurry, hurry, waiter.
93
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:32.829
Oh, yes, sir. If I'd known, Dr.
94
00:05:32.829 --> 00:05:33.250
Robertson.
95
00:05:33.290 --> 00:05:37.569
Well, forgive me.
96
00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:38.290
It's all right.
97
00:05:38.310 --> 00:05:40.980
It reminds me of my professor in psychiatry, Dr. Brolov.
98
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.259
He could never stand a sauce bottle on the table
99
00:05:44.879 --> 00:06:06.500
or even a salt shaker. Ah, this thing called human behavior. Dr. Edwards,
100
00:06:07.379 --> 00:06:09.160
you sent me a note to come to your office immediately.
101
00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:09.860
Oh, yes, yes.
102
00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:11.750
I've been listening to Mr. Goms, and I thought you
103
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.110
might help out. He's your patient.
104
00:06:13.449 --> 00:06:15.129
But Mr. Goms shouldn't have disturbed you.
105
00:06:15.149 --> 00:06:16.889
It's all right. I'm very interested in his case.
106
00:06:16.910 --> 00:06:18.769
Yes, I knew you would be. He fits perfectly into
107
00:06:18.810 --> 00:06:20.149
your chapters on the guilt complex.
108
00:06:20.329 --> 00:06:22.629
But I have no guilt complex.
109
00:06:22.769 --> 00:06:25.329
I know what I know. I killed my father and.
110
00:06:25.350 --> 00:06:29.100
No, no. No, you didn't kill your father. It's a
111
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.160
misconception that has taken hold of you. Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor.
112
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:34.040
You were talking to him.
113
00:06:34.060 --> 00:06:34.620
No, no, no, no.
114
00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:38.769
Go on. Mr. Garmes, people often feel guilty over something
115
00:06:38.829 --> 00:06:42.089
that they never did. It usually goes back to their childhood.
116
00:06:42.730 --> 00:06:45.269
And then they grow up with a guilt complex
over
117
00:06:45.310 --> 00:06:48.290
a sin that was only a child's bad dream.
118
00:06:49.670 --> 00:06:52.810
What I'm thinking isn't true, then?
119
00:06:53.370 --> 00:06:58.750
No. And in the course of analyzing yourself, you will
120
00:06:58.790 --> 00:06:59.189
see that.
121
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:01.509
Good day, Doctor. Thank you.
122
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.850
I think we'd better put him under drugs for a
123
00:07:05.870 --> 00:07:07.110
few days. He looks agitated.
124
00:07:07.410 --> 00:07:09.670
His conviction is curious.
125
00:07:10.410 --> 00:07:12.509
But you've encountered such cases very often, Dr.
126
00:07:12.569 --> 00:07:12.810
Edwards.
127
00:07:12.829 --> 00:07:14.870
You describe them perfectly in your book. Yes.
128
00:07:15.430 --> 00:07:18.990
Yes, I did. Would you mind doing me a favor?
129
00:07:19.089 --> 00:07:19.689
Not at all, Doctor.
130
00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:21.519
I have a headache. I'd like to take the afternoon
131
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:22.899
off with you.
132
00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:23.439
Oh, but I have.
133
00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:24.060
Please, please.
134
00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.259
I need a little fresh air, and you look as
135
00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:28.500
though it might do you a little bit of good.
136
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:29.439
Come on.
137
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:30.360
Let's go.
138
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.000
We'll look at some sane trees, normal grass, and clouds
139
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.079
without complexes.
140
00:07:57.259 --> 00:07:59.779
I think the greatest harm done the human race has
141
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.000
been done by the poets.
142
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.639
Poets are dull boys, most of them, but not especially fiendish.
143
00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:09.800
They keep filling people's heads with delusions about love, writing
144
00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:12.290
about it as if it were a symphony orchestra or
145
00:08:12.310 --> 00:08:13.350
a flight of angels.
146
00:08:13.490 --> 00:08:14.000
Which it isn't.
147
00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:17.930
Come on, duck under his fence.
148
00:08:19.069 --> 00:08:22.139
No, of course it isn't. People fall in love, as
149
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.379
they put it, because they respond to certain hair coloring
150
00:08:24.500 --> 00:08:28.379
or vocal tones or mannerisms that remind them of their parents.
151
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.319
Sometimes no reason at all.
152
00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:32.740
But that's not the point. The point is that people
153
00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:35.139
read about love as one thing and they experience it
154
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.879
as another. They expect kisses to be like lyrical poems
155
00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:42.629
and embraces to be like Shakespearean dramas.
156
00:08:42.649 --> 00:08:45.409
When they find out differently, then they get sick and
157
00:08:45.470 --> 00:08:46.649
have to be analyzed?
158
00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:49.590
Yes, very often.
159
00:08:49.690 --> 00:08:53.330
Professor... You are suffering from mogo on the go-go.
160
00:08:55.129 --> 00:08:55.929
I beg your pardon.
161
00:08:55.970 --> 00:08:57.879
Don't mind me. I only say that to my best friends.
162
00:08:58.509 --> 00:09:00.659
Well, thank you, sir.
163
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.360
Let's sit down here. This seems to be the most
164
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.940
likely spot to relax and eat.
165
00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:06.080
Ever picnicked here before?
166
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.940
Yes, I've picnicked here. Alone.
167
00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:10.519
Well, that doesn't sound like very much fun.
168
00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:13.779
I haven't gone in for fun, as you call it.
169
00:09:16.070 --> 00:09:20.500
Look at those mountains. Just look at them. Did you
170
00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:22.210
ever see anything so beautiful?
171
00:09:22.539 --> 00:09:23.129
It's perfect.
172
00:09:24.490 --> 00:09:24.909
Perfect.
173
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.559
Constance? Oh, it's you, Dr.
174
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:49.159
Murchison. Thanks for giving my patient Mr. Garmes a sedative
175
00:09:49.179 --> 00:09:51.379
this afternoon. I'm very sorry that I wasn't there.
176
00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:54.059
Nonsense. Just so long as you and Dr. Edwards had
177
00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:54.580
a good time.
178
00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:55.909
I see Dr.
179
00:09:56.070 --> 00:09:59.110
Edwards is a night owl, too. There's a light shining
180
00:09:59.149 --> 00:10:01.159
from under his door. Good night.
181
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:02.559
Good night, Doctor.
182
00:10:09.649 --> 00:10:09.929
Yes?
183
00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:14.169
I saw your light, Dr. Edwards, and I... Oh, come in,
184
00:10:14.210 --> 00:10:18.490
come in. I didn't realize it was quite so late.
185
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.240
What I was going to say was that I was
186
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.220
going to read your new book. I'd like to discuss
187
00:10:25.259 --> 00:10:27.059
it with you. I never have discussed an author's work
188
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.379
with him before. Of course, at school we had several
189
00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:33.919
literary professors, but then that was quite different. I sound
190
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:34.919
rather nervous, don't I?
191
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.240
No, no, not at all.
192
00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:40.679
I thought I wanted to discuss your book with you.
193
00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:44.659
I'm amazed at the subterfuge. I don't want to discuss
194
00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:45.080
it at all.
195
00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:45.740
I understand.
196
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.480
It's quite remarkable to discover that one isn't what One
197
00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:54.139
thought one was. I mean, I've always been entirely aware
198
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:54.899
of what was in my mind.
199
00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:56.419
And you're not now?
200
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.960
This is quite ridiculous. It was stupid of me to
201
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.659
come in
here like a distracted child.
202
00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:04.220
You're very lovely.
203
00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:06.639
Well, please don't talk that way. You'll think I came in.
204
00:11:06.610 --> 00:11:07.159
To hear that.
205
00:11:08.889 --> 00:11:09.809
I know why you came in.
206
00:11:10.590 --> 00:11:10.850
Why?
207
00:11:11.870 --> 00:11:14.830
Because something has happened to us.
208
00:11:16.289 --> 00:11:20.580
But it doesn't happen like that. In one day?
209
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.799
It happens in a moment sometimes. I felt it this afternoon.
210
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:29.059
It was like lightning striking. It strikes rarely.
211
00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:39.000
I don't understand how it happened. Oh, my darling. Darling,
212
00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:41.220
what is it? Why are you staring at me like that?
213
00:11:41.350 --> 00:11:43.259
It's not you. It's something about your robe.
214
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.519
My robe? I don't understand.
215
00:11:44.570 --> 00:11:45.639
Forgive me. Something struck me.
216
00:11:45.710 --> 00:11:47.629
I've been having a rather bad time with my nerves lately,
217
00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:48.379
and your robe, I.
218
00:11:49.710 --> 00:11:51.309
I mean the dark lines.
219
00:11:51.529 --> 00:11:52.269
Oh, but you're ill.
220
00:11:52.330 --> 00:11:53.090
I'll be all right.
221
00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:59.059
Tallow?
222
00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:00.419
Yes, Dr.
223
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.100
Edwards. Yes?
224
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:03.299
What?
225
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:03.759
Where is he?
226
00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:05.460
I'll be there right away.
227
00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:06.399
Mr.
228
00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:07.299
Garms has run amok.
229
00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:09.149
He's tried to murder a nurse and then cut his
230
00:12:09.210 --> 00:12:09.690
own throat.
231
00:12:09.710 --> 00:12:11.740
He's in surgery. Pulse 140.
232
00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:15.570
How is he? How is he? His pulse is going down, Dr.
233
00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:17.289
Murchison.
234
00:12:17.309 --> 00:12:22.379
Step aside, Dr.
235
00:12:22.850 --> 00:12:23.610
Murchison.
236
00:12:23.649 --> 00:12:23.970
What's that?
237
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.000
Why are the lights out in the corridor?
238
00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:37.519
What do you mean?
239
00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:40.039
It's dark. That's why Mr. Goms did it. Because the
240
00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:41.220
lights are out. And put them on.
241
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:42.519
And the doors and lock them.
242
00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:43.899
You can't keep people in cells.
243
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:43.980
Dr.
244
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:44.299
Edwards.
245
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.250
Get away from me, you fools. Babbling about guilt complexes.
246
00:12:47.570 --> 00:12:48.370
What do you know about them?
247
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:48.840
He did it.
248
00:12:48.850 --> 00:12:50.470
He told me. He killed his father.
249
00:12:50.490 --> 00:12:51.590
Now put on the lights, quick.
250
00:12:51.970 --> 00:12:52.490
It's dark.
251
00:12:52.889 --> 00:12:53.210
Dark.
252
00:12:53.470 --> 00:12:56.110
Go. Grab him, Dr. Murchison. He's falling. Yes.
253
00:12:56.850 --> 00:12:57.809
He's in complete collapse.
254
00:12:58.110 --> 00:12:59.830
Face him in this chair.
255
00:13:00.450 --> 00:13:00.750
There.
256
00:13:02.029 --> 00:13:02.700
Curious, Constance.
257
00:13:03.690 --> 00:13:05.090
It didn't look like a heart case.
258
00:13:05.370 --> 00:13:10.610
No. A shock of some sort. Probably brought on by....
259
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:13.159
Oh, by one thing.
260
00:13:13.179 --> 00:13:14.879
Thank you.
261
00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:40.460
When we ask you to try Anacin for the relief
262
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.980
of pain due to a headache, neuritis, or neuralgia, we're
263
00:13:44.019 --> 00:13:46.820
not asking you to try a new or unproved method,
264
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.639
for there are many people listening in now who have
265
00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:52.899
been introduced to Anacin tablets by their own dentist or physician.
266
00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:57.799
You who have received Anacin this way know the effective,
267
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.870
incredibly fast relief these tablets bring. Anacin is like a
268
00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:08.309
doctor's prescription. That is, Anacin contains not just one but
269
00:14:08.350 --> 00:14:12.950
a combination of medically proven active ingredients in easy-to-take tablet form.
270
00:14:14.169 --> 00:14:17.669
People by the thousands are using modern Anacin today instead
271
00:14:17.710 --> 00:14:22.360
of other ways. Doesn't their experience seem worth following? Try
272
00:14:22.429 --> 00:14:25.549
Anacin the next time you suffer pains from headache, neuritis,
273
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:30.139
or neuralgia. You'll be delighted with the results. Ask your
274
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:53.740
druggist for Anacin today. Anacin is spelled A-N-A C-I-N. Now
275
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.360
the second act of the screen director's playhouse presentation of Spellbound,
276
00:14:57.860 --> 00:15:00.240
starring Joseph Cotton and Mercedes McCambridge.
277
00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:28.080
The answer to Constance's wonderment came to her as she
278
00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:32.509
sat at Dr. Edward's bedside. The autographed signature of Dr.
279
00:15:32.610 --> 00:15:35.549
Edwards on the title page of his book did not
280
00:15:35.669 --> 00:15:37.600
match that of the note he had written to her
281
00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:42.279
earlier in the day, asking her to come to his office. Clearly,
282
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.500
the man before her was not Dr.
283
00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:45.000
Edwards.
284
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.440
Who are you?
285
00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:49.039
What do you mean?
286
00:15:49.830 --> 00:15:50.490
You're not Dr.
287
00:15:50.570 --> 00:15:50.850
Edwards.
288
00:15:50.929 --> 00:15:53.429
I can prove it. There's no good denying it. Who
289
00:15:53.549 --> 00:15:53.809
are you?
290
00:15:53.850 --> 00:15:59.370
Yes, I remember now. Edwards is dead. I killed him
291
00:15:59.409 --> 00:16:01.700
and took his place. I'm someone else.
292
00:16:01.769 --> 00:16:05.419
I don't know who. I killed him, Edwards.
293
00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:08.059
Easy now. Lie back on your pillow.
294
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:09.389
Oh, I.
295
00:16:10.580 --> 00:16:11.399
I have no memory.
296
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.960
It's like looking into a mirror and seeing nothing but
297
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.679
the mirror, yet the image is there.
298
00:16:15.730 --> 00:16:18.269
I know it. I know it's there. I exist. I'm there.
299
00:16:18.289 --> 00:16:21.389
How can a man lose his name, his memory, and
300
00:16:21.429 --> 00:16:24.490
everything he's ever known and still talk like this as
301
00:16:24.570 --> 00:16:25.669
if he were quite sane?
302
00:16:25.690 --> 00:16:25.769
Yeah.
303
00:16:28.769 --> 00:16:30.070
You, are you afraid of me?
304
00:16:30.409 --> 00:16:30.789
No.
305
00:16:30.809 --> 00:16:32.090
You're ill.
306
00:16:33.289 --> 00:16:35.639
Loss of memory isn't a difficult part of it.
307
00:16:35.659 --> 00:16:36.200
Yes, I know.
308
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.559
Amnesia, a trick of the mind for remaining sane. You
309
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.759
remain sane by forgetting something too, too horrible to remember.
310
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.320
You put the horrible thing behind a closed door.
311
00:16:47.710 --> 00:16:48.970
We have to open the door.
312
00:16:50.169 --> 00:16:51.750
And I know what's behind the door.
313
00:16:53.350 --> 00:16:53.710
Murder.
314
00:16:53.789 --> 00:16:57.789
No, no, no. That's a delusion you've acquired out of
315
00:16:57.830 --> 00:17:02.409
your illness. Will you answer me truthfully? And will you
316
00:17:02.490 --> 00:17:02.929
trust me?
317
00:17:03.230 --> 00:17:06.670
I trust you. But it's no use. I can't think.
318
00:17:06.730 --> 00:17:08.289
I don't know who I am. I don't know. I
319
00:17:08.329 --> 00:17:08.710
don't know.
320
00:17:08.730 --> 00:17:10.609
When did you have your first doubt that you might
321
00:17:10.690 --> 00:17:11.430
not be Edwards?
322
00:17:11.490 --> 00:17:16.549
I don't remember. Oh, yes. Yes, when I was.
323
00:17:17.549 --> 00:17:19.470
When I was in the hotel room backing to come here,
324
00:17:19.490 --> 00:17:21.470
I found a cigarette case in my coat.
325
00:17:21.329 --> 00:17:25.740
And frightened me. It had the initials J.B. on it.
326
00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:28.000
When I saw them in the hotel room, they made
327
00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:28.680
my headache.
328
00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:30.000
They're probably your initials.
329
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.039
J.B. J.B.
330
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.109
Now you must sleep. I think when you wake up,
331
00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:42.519
you'll be able to tell me more. I'll come in
332
00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:47.640
in the morning. Good night now. And sleep.
333
00:18:00.289 --> 00:18:04.569
Constance, dearest, I cannot involve you in my troubles for
334
00:18:04.609 --> 00:18:05.390
many reasons.
335
00:18:05.470 --> 00:18:09.210
The most important being that I love you.
336
00:18:10.710 --> 00:18:13.220
When the police step in, tell them I'm at the
337
00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:15.119
Empire State Hotel in New York.
338
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.460
I prefer to wait alone for the end. Goodbye, J.B.
339
00:18:33.670 --> 00:18:35.150
He's not in his room. He's escaped.
340
00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:37.509
Please, Sheriff, it's 5 a.m. You'll wake the patients.
341
00:18:37.950 --> 00:18:38.609
Sorry, Dr.
342
00:18:38.650 --> 00:18:39.089
Peterson.
343
00:18:39.809 --> 00:18:41.809
Seems to me somebody might have known what the real
344
00:18:41.950 --> 00:18:44.210
Edwards looked like. You never saw him, Dr.
345
00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:44.670
Murchison?
346
00:18:45.349 --> 00:18:46.599
No, I never met him.
347
00:18:46.970 --> 00:18:49.230
Well, it's my contention that he killed the real Dr.
348
00:18:49.289 --> 00:18:49.569
Edwards.
349
00:18:49.650 --> 00:18:51.829
There can be no question of it. He killed Dr.
350
00:18:51.910 --> 00:18:54.410
Edwards and then took his place in order to conceal
351
00:18:54.450 --> 00:18:55.589
his crime. Dr.
352
00:18:55.630 --> 00:18:59.269
Peterson, didn't he tell you anything about himself? You were
353
00:18:59.309 --> 00:19:01.579
with him for quite some time after his collapse in
354
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:02.380
the operating room.
355
00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:03.450
No.
356
00:19:04.589 --> 00:19:06.190
He was unable to speak coherently.
357
00:19:06.710 --> 00:19:08.839
You don't seem very surprised to learn that this man
358
00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:10.920
was a fake and maybe gilly of murder.
359
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:13.539
I thought his collapse was due to mental strain.
360
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.779
That's a funny diagnosis for a fellow who's supposed to
361
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.019
have just come from a vacation.
362
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.559
I made no medical diagnosis. I was shocked to see
363
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.329
him collapse, and I didn't think beyond that.
364
00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:24.009
You have no idea where he might have gone?
365
00:19:24.089 --> 00:19:24.289
No.
366
00:19:25.130 --> 00:19:27.049
Well, I'd better get back to my office and spread
367
00:19:27.069 --> 00:19:27.509
the alarm.
368
00:19:29.410 --> 00:19:33.430
Constance, I found this letter under your bedroom door. Oh?
369
00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:36.619
I didn't call it to the attention of the sheriff.
370
00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:39.259
I thought perhaps it might be something personal.
371
00:19:39.769 --> 00:19:40.460
Yes, thank you, Dr.
372
00:19:40.490 --> 00:19:40.890
Murchison.
373
00:19:41.789 --> 00:19:56.900
Good night. Constance, dearest, I cannot involve you in my
374
00:19:56.940 --> 00:20:01.809
troubles for many reasons. The most important being that I
375
00:20:01.849 --> 00:20:11.390
love you. Operator, the airport, please.
376
00:20:29.059 --> 00:20:31.160
Constance, why are you here?
377
00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:32.200
Really?
378
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.890
Signing your name John Brown on the register. Not much
379
00:20:36.950 --> 00:20:38.289
imagination for an alias.
380
00:20:38.329 --> 00:20:40.390
You shouldn't have come here to New York. You don't
381
00:20:40.470 --> 00:20:41.269
owe me anything.
382
00:20:41.369 --> 00:20:44.269
I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm
383
00:20:44.289 --> 00:20:47.190
going to take care of you and cure you. And
384
00:20:47.259 --> 00:20:48.930
I'm going to stay with you until that happens.
385
00:20:48.950 --> 00:20:51.359
But you can't. You can't help hide a criminal. I
386
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.420
won't let you be stupid about it.
387
00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:55.400
I couldn't bear it away from you. I had to come.
388
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.359
And I'll rent a room on this floor. And I'm
389
00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:04.160
here as your doctor only. It has nothing to do
390
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:06.190
with love. Darling.
391
00:21:06.230 --> 00:21:09.390
Darling.
392
00:21:10.609 --> 00:21:33.029
Nothing at all. Try remembering. Let your mind go back
393
00:21:33.049 --> 00:21:36.210
to your childhood. Was it happy? Whom did you know
394
00:21:36.269 --> 00:21:36.930
in your childhood?
395
00:21:36.970 --> 00:21:40.529
I'm wanted, but I can't see by what. It's no use.
396
00:21:40.609 --> 00:21:43.450
You lived somewhere. You had a mother. You were loved.
397
00:21:43.509 --> 00:21:44.529
You had friends.
398
00:21:44.549 --> 00:21:47.380
I can't remember anything except that I love you.
399
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:51.059
If we can unlock one tiny memory, it will give
400
00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:52.259
us the key to all the others.
401
00:21:52.819 --> 00:21:55.000
The only thing that comes to the mind that I
402
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.299
keep thinking of over and over is the logic of
403
00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:58.059
the situation.
404
00:21:58.119 --> 00:21:58.579
What logic?
405
00:21:58.619 --> 00:22:01.700
That it was I who was with Edwards. Look what
406
00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:02.680
it says in the papers.
407
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:07.559
No trace of Dr. Edwards has been found since he
408
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.980
left the Cumberland Resort in the company of his supposed patient.
409
00:22:12.349 --> 00:22:14.730
Do you remember that? Then why do you believe that
410
00:22:14.769 --> 00:22:15.309
you were with him?
411
00:22:15.349 --> 00:22:18.450
Because wherever we went, I came back with his identity.
412
00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:21.109
I wouldn't have come back as Dr. Edwards if I
413
00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:23.230
hadn't known he was dead. And how would I have
414
00:22:23.289 --> 00:22:25.730
known that, that he was dead, if I hadn't been
415
00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:26.730
with him when he died?
416
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:28.039
Were you?
417
00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:31.410
I don't remember, but... And logically, I know that I
418
00:22:31.549 --> 00:22:34.109
must have been. And logically, I also know why the
419
00:22:34.150 --> 00:22:40.450
body hasn't been found. Because it was hidden by me.
420
00:22:40.730 --> 00:22:44.910
Don't you see? You're imagining all of this. You call
421
00:22:44.930 --> 00:22:48.329
yourself names. You insist without proof that you're a murderer.
422
00:22:48.750 --> 00:22:50.930
You know what that is, don't you? Whoever you are,
423
00:22:50.970 --> 00:22:53.619
that's a guilt complex that speaks for you. It's a
424
00:22:53.670 --> 00:22:56.079
guilt fantasy that goes way back to your childhood.
425
00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:56.180
No.
426
00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:58.420
I think you're quite mad.
427
00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:01.440
You're much crazier than I to do all this for
428
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:03.920
a creature without a name, to run off with a
429
00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:05.099
pair of initials.
430
00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:06.670
What would that be?
431
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.019
Oh, I know. It's the bellhop. I ordered the later
432
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:11.559
editions of the paper. Thank you.
433
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.500
What's the matter?
434
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:19.119
We have to leave here.
435
00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:19.619
Why?
436
00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:23.779
Story in the paper. Police hunt Dr. Constance Peterson believed
437
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.990
aiding madman wanted in Edward's mystery. My picture's right below it.
438
00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:28.920
The room clerk will recognize it. We've got to go quickly.
439
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.740
We can't back out. Where?
440
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:30.380
Where can we go?
441
00:23:30.420 --> 00:23:33.430
Rochester. Rochester, New York.
442
00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:53.519
By the way, why are we going to Rochester?
443
00:23:54.170 --> 00:23:55.319
We're going to visit Dr.
444
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:55.740
Bruloff.
445
00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:57.940
Oh, the fellow who doesn't like sauce bottles.
446
00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:01.160
He was my analyst. He psychoanalyzed me.
447
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:01.619
Really?
448
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.079
Well, what was wrong with you?
449
00:24:04.140 --> 00:24:07.500
All analysts have to be psychoanalyzed by other analysts before
450
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.339
they start practicing.
451
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.259
Oh, that's to make sure they're not crazy.
452
00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:13.940
Apparently, the mind is never too ill to make jokes
453
00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:14.920
about psychoanalysis.
454
00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:16.039
Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a pig.
455
00:24:16.619 --> 00:24:19.980
No, I am, really. I keep forgetting you're a patient.
456
00:24:20.269 --> 00:24:20.769
So do I.
457
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.359
When I hold you like this, I feel entirely well. Darling,
458
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.880
will you love me just as much when I'm normal?
459
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:31.359
Oh, I'll be insane about you.
460
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:32.440
I am normal.
461
00:24:33.220 --> 00:24:35.890
We're alone here in this compartment. There's nothing wrong with
462
00:24:35.950 --> 00:24:38.130
me that a nice, long.
463
00:24:37.950 --> 00:24:39.130
Kiss wouldn't cure.
464
00:24:40.470 --> 00:24:45.990
Well, I've never treated a guilt complex like this before. Now, look,
465
00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:48.059
let's stop and pick up where we left off.
466
00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:48.660
Pick up what?
467
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.960
Try to recall the first moment you thought you were Edward's.
468
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:53.819
Darling, I have a confession to make.
469
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:54.309
I'm listening.
470
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.049
As a doctor, you irritate me. I sit here swooning
471
00:24:57.089 --> 00:24:58.450
with love, and then suddenly you.
472
00:24:58.410 --> 00:25:01.150
Ask me a question, and I don't like you anymore.
473
00:25:01.190 --> 00:25:03.710
Do you have to sit there smiling at me like
474
00:25:03.769 --> 00:25:06.089
some smug, know-it-all schoolteacher?
475
00:25:06.109 --> 00:25:09.069
I can't help smiling. That's what happens in analysis. As
476
00:25:09.109 --> 00:25:11.190
the doctor begins to uncover the truth in a patient,
477
00:25:11.869 --> 00:25:15.630
said patient develops a fine-hearted hatred of said doctor. Oh,
478
00:25:15.670 --> 00:25:18.609
you're going to hate me a great deal before we're through.
479
00:25:19.289 --> 00:25:20.130
And you're going to like that?
480
00:25:20.369 --> 00:25:21.109
As a scientist?
481
00:25:21.130 --> 00:25:21.200
Yes.
482
00:25:21.390 --> 00:25:21.609
Yes.
483
00:25:21.990 --> 00:25:23.930
Well, if I should happen to biff you one, you'll
484
00:25:23.970 --> 00:25:25.529
consider it a sort of diploma?
485
00:25:25.769 --> 00:25:27.009
Yes, but don't biff too high.
486
00:25:27.549 --> 00:25:32.690
Oh, darling. Darling, I love you. Come close to me.
487
00:25:33.670 --> 00:25:35.589
No, not now, really. I think we should go on
488
00:25:35.609 --> 00:25:37.990
with our investigation. We have some new facts to work
489
00:25:38.029 --> 00:25:38.240
with now.
490
00:25:38.269 --> 00:25:38.829
Oh, what facts?
491
00:25:38.869 --> 00:25:40.369
You're a doctor. You were in an accident.
492
00:25:40.390 --> 00:25:41.910
How do you know I was in an accident?
493
00:25:41.930 --> 00:25:44.329
Your arm and forearm are burned. And you were in Rome.
494
00:25:44.349 --> 00:25:45.609
I was never in Rome in my life.
495
00:25:45.630 --> 00:25:47.630
You were either there or going there because in a
496
00:25:47.670 --> 00:25:49.930
moment of stress you mentioned Rome. Now think of Rome.
497
00:25:50.289 --> 00:25:53.319
Maybe Rome, Italy. When did you go to Rome? What
498
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:54.359
did you do in Rome?
499
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:54.980
Think.
500
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.079
Think.
501
00:25:56.500 --> 00:26:00.430
The train, the railroad ties rushing by. Think, think. Yes.
502
00:26:01.450 --> 00:26:03.869
I remember something. Fighter planes spotted us.
503
00:26:03.890 --> 00:26:04.329
You were flying.
504
00:26:04.369 --> 00:26:06.990
Timesport Medical Corps over Rome, headed north.
505
00:26:07.029 --> 00:26:07.410
What happened?
506
00:26:07.430 --> 00:26:12.180
They hit us. Caught fire. A uniform burned, bailed out.
507
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:12.549
What else? I.
508
00:26:14.730 --> 00:26:16.349
I don't know. It blacks out.
509
00:26:16.369 --> 00:26:17.269
You left the army.
510
00:26:17.289 --> 00:26:18.230
Yes, probably deserted.
511
00:26:18.250 --> 00:26:18.750
I hated it.
512
00:26:18.789 --> 00:26:20.529
I hated killing. I can remember that much.
513
00:26:20.569 --> 00:26:22.829
Your guilt fantasies were obviously inflamed by your duties as
514
00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:23.170
a soldier.
515
00:26:23.190 --> 00:26:23.690
No, stop it.
516
00:26:23.730 --> 00:26:26.609
You're babbling like some phony King Solomon. You sit there
517
00:26:26.650 --> 00:26:29.730
full of half-witted double-dog. It makes no sense. If there's
518
00:26:29.769 --> 00:26:30.420
anything I hate.
519
00:26:30.819 --> 00:26:32.039
It's a smug woman.
520
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:38.000
Please, darling. We're just beginning. Don't biff too hard yet.
521
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.859
Our drama will continue in just a moment. But now,
522
00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:12.549
here's a word from RCA Victor. For you people who
523
00:27:12.609 --> 00:27:16.309
are buying television now, that word is combination. Yes, an
524
00:27:16.410 --> 00:27:19.549
RCA Victor combination, which brings you AM and FM radio,
525
00:27:20.029 --> 00:27:23.670
recorded music at all three speeds, and famous RCA Victor
526
00:27:23.730 --> 00:27:27.450
million-proof television. Now you can have all these in one
527
00:27:27.509 --> 00:27:31.390
beautiful cabinet for one beautiful price. Ask your RCA Victor
528
00:27:31.430 --> 00:27:34.359
dealer to introduce you to the kingly RCA Victor combination,
529
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.160
the Rutland. With its doors closed, the Rutland looks like
530
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.440
a furniture masterpiece straight out of the 18th century. With
531
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.519
its doors open, it is like an electronic masterpiece straight
532
00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:47.539
out of the 21st century. So superb are its RCA
533
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.910
Victor features. AM and FM radio, two automatic record changers
534
00:27:51.950 --> 00:27:56.250
to play all record speeds, and exciting RCA Victor million-proof television,
535
00:27:56.750 --> 00:28:00.109
proved in well over a million American homes. Yet all
536
00:28:00.170 --> 00:28:03.779
these great instruments combined actually cost you much less than
537
00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:07.579
the comparable console instruments would cost separately. Yes, with an
538
00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:11.369
RCA Victor Rutland, wonders never cease. But go on pouring
539
00:28:11.430 --> 00:28:14.450
out show after show, record after record, not just for
540
00:28:14.569 --> 00:28:32.059
one person, but for the whole family. You are listening

¶ ¶.
554
00:30:14.089 --> 00:30:17.950
The succeeding six hours on the train for Constance and J.B.
555
00:30:18.109 --> 00:30:21.619
or John Brown or whatever an amnesia victim can name
556
00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:26.980
himself was a series of questions and evasive answers. Relentlessly,
557
00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:28.500
Constance fought.
558
00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:30.759
To read the depths of his memory. But it was
559
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:31.680
a losing battle.
560
00:30:32.589 --> 00:30:34.450
It was like a pygmy facing a giant.
561
00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:36.700
And J.B. was the giant.
562
00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:39.039
They reached the home of Dr.
563
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:40.019
Brulov in Rochester.
564
00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:46.069
I worked with Dr. Brulov as his assistant for almost
565
00:30:46.109 --> 00:30:48.650
a year, right here in this house. He got me
566
00:30:48.670 --> 00:30:50.650
the post of Green Manus. You like Alex?
567
00:30:50.809 --> 00:30:53.809
I doubt that one psychoanalyst in my hair is enough.
568
00:30:53.829 --> 00:30:55.430
What are you going to tell him?
569
00:30:55.829 --> 00:30:56.910
That we're on a honeymoon?
570
00:30:56.930 --> 00:31:01.609
Oh, doctor, you think of the most wonderful prescriptions. Alex!
571
00:31:02.990 --> 00:31:09.670
Who is it, please? Oh, my old friend. Come in, please.
572
00:31:10.170 --> 00:31:11.369
Alex, this is.
573
00:31:12.269 --> 00:31:17.779
One moment, please. There's company here. Lieutenant Detective Cooley.
574
00:31:18.339 --> 00:31:18.880
How do you do?
575
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:23.380
The lieutenant is persecuting me. I just told him I
576
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:24.619
know nothing about Dr.
577
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:25.140
Edwards.
578
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.039
Yesterday you had some theory.
579
00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:27.920
Constance. Steady, steady.
580
00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:30.950
I already have explained that if Edwards took along with
581
00:31:30.990 --> 00:31:34.230
him on vacation a paranoid patient, he was a bigger
582
00:31:34.269 --> 00:31:36.630
fool than I ever knew he was. It is the
583
00:31:36.670 --> 00:31:38.349
same as playing with a loaded gun.
584
00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:40.019
Good night now.
585
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:41.539
It is late and my friends are here.
586
00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:43.200
Sorry to have bothered you, Doctor.
587
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.279
Good night, ma'am.
588
00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:45.420
Good night, sir.
589
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:45.980
Good night.
590
00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:52.089
What do you suppose they're snooping around me for? The
591
00:31:52.150 --> 00:31:53.990
next thing, they'll give me a third degree.
592
00:31:54.210 --> 00:31:56.529
Alex, I'm so glad to see you. I was going
593
00:31:56.569 --> 00:31:59.809
to write you, but it all happened so suddenly. I
594
00:31:59.849 --> 00:32:00.470
got married.
595
00:32:01.309 --> 00:32:01.930
Who's married?
596
00:32:02.410 --> 00:32:05.819
Alex, my husband, John Brown.
597
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:12.359
Well, I'm glad to meet you, officially. So you're married.
598
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:17.640
I congratulate you and wish you have babies and not phobias.
599
00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:21.819
But the truth is, Alex, we have no hotel room
600
00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:23.980
All the hotels were so crowded.
601
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:28.099
What do you want with a hotel? That's for millionaires.
602
00:32:29.059 --> 00:32:32.059
You stay right here. Cook my coffee in the morning
603
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:32.980
and the house is yours.
604
00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:34.880
Oh, how wonderful of you, Alex.
605
00:32:36.349 --> 00:32:40.210
Your old room is upstairs. Good night and happy dreams,
606
00:32:40.869 --> 00:32:42.789
which we will analyze at breakfast.
607
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.279
Do you know this room has changed? Oh, but it
608
00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:12.299
isn't really. It's I whom changed. It's called transfer of effects.
609
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:12.980
Oh, what is?
610
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:16.140
The fact that everything seems so wonderful in this room.
611
00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:18.329
Oh, that's what it's called, is it?
612
00:33:19.430 --> 00:33:21.029
Darling, did the policeman disturb you?
613
00:33:21.230 --> 00:33:25.849
Oh, no, one ignores such trifles on a honeymoon. I...
614
00:33:26.490 --> 00:33:28.309
I take it this is your first honeymoon?
615
00:33:28.329 --> 00:33:28.549
Yes.
616
00:33:28.910 --> 00:33:29.130
Yes.
617
00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:32.180
I mean, it would be, if it were.
618
00:33:32.259 -->
00:33:32.900
No, darling.
619
00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:37.339
Darling, for what it's worth, I can't remember ever having
620
00:33:37.460 --> 00:33:39.079
kissed any other woman before.
621
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.460
I have nothing to remember of that nature either.
622
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.400
You're very sweet.
623
00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:45.779
Of course, I'm no child.
624
00:33:45.859 --> 00:33:46.319
Far from it.
625
00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:49.720
I'm well aware that we're all bundles of inhibitions.
626
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:51.309
Dynamite dumps, darling.
627
00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:53.369
No, please, don't. Don't do that.
628
00:33:53.380 --> 00:33:53.809
Why not?
629
00:33:54.089 --> 00:33:57.369
Well, it isn't ethical. I'm here as your doctor.
630
00:33:57.410 --> 00:34:00.289
You may stop worrying, doctor. I'm going to sleep on
631
00:34:00.309 --> 00:34:00.730
the couch.
632
00:34:00.829 --> 00:34:04.210
Oh, no. No, the doctor occupies the couch. Fully dressed.
633
00:34:04.690 --> 00:34:07.880
And the patient always sleeps in the bed. Now, I'll
634
00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:09.039
leave you for a bit so that you can get
635
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:10.260
undressed and get under those covers.
636
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:13.579
The covers. The covers.
637
00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:15.460
What is it? You remember something?
638
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:15.719
No.
639
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:17.260
This room reminds you of something.
640
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:17.659
No, no.
641
00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:19.539
You're resisting a memory. What's in your mind?
642
00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:20.139
Don't start that again.
643
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.809
Don't stand there with that wise, acher look. I'm sick
644
00:34:22.849 --> 00:34:23.389
of your double talk.
645
00:34:23.409 --> 00:34:25.050
You were looking at the bed. What frightens you there?
646
00:34:25.369 --> 00:34:25.710
It's white.
647
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:27.960
Lines, yes.
648
00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:31.659
When I made fork marks on the tablecloth, they agitated you.
649
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.739
And then that night that you kissed me, you pushed
650
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:35.760
me away because of my robe. It was white. It
651
00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:38.139
had dark lines on it. Try to think. Why does
652
00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:41.269
the color white frighten you? Think of white. Yes. White.
653
00:34:41.469 --> 00:34:43.929
Yes, it frightens me. I can't look.
654
00:34:43.989 --> 00:34:46.269
Run away. Stand still and look at the white spread.
655
00:34:46.690 --> 00:34:47.650
I'll look at it and remember.
656
00:34:47.710 --> 00:34:48.409
No, no, no, no.
657
00:34:48.510 --> 00:34:51.630
What is... What is that in your hand?
658
00:34:51.670 --> 00:34:52.789
I don't know. I don't know.
659
00:34:53.670 --> 00:34:56.719
It's a straight-edged razor. Where did you get that?
660
00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:57.179
I don't know.
661
00:34:57.260 --> 00:34:59.019
I tell you, I must have picked
it up somewhere.
662
00:34:59.099 --> 00:34:59.719
Give it to me.
663
00:35:17.889 --> 00:35:19.639
This razor.
664
00:35:19.739 --> 00:35:23.659
Why am I clutching this razor? Come on.
665
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:27.880
I thought it was you. I'm just having a glass
666
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:29.059
of milk and some crackers.
667
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:30.000
This razor.
668
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:33.239
Join me, please. I'll get another glass.
669
00:35:33.260 --> 00:35:34.519
Why am I clutching this razor?
670
00:35:34.539 --> 00:35:36.579
When I was a young man, I was always saying
671
00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:39.519
if I could only get along by myself instead of.
672
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:42.119
Oh, stop that fool chatter. Go away, go away. Stop it.
673
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:42.599
My head.
674
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:43.519
My head.
675
00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:45.500
You know who I am.
676
00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:48.980
You know nothing except living. Here is your glass of milk.
677
00:35:49.059 --> 00:35:49.340
Milk?
678
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:51.940
Why do I kill? Kill?
679
00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:52.840
Kill?
680
00:36:07.889 --> 00:36:08.210
Alex!
681
00:36:09.369 --> 00:36:10.170
Alex, are you all right?
682
00:36:10.190 --> 00:36:11.969
Good morning.
683
00:36:13.570 --> 00:36:17.789
Yes, I'm all right, thank you. Oh, I fell asleep
684
00:36:17.829 --> 00:36:20.210
in my chair. What time is it?
685
00:36:20.369 --> 00:36:23.869
It's seven o'clock, Alex. My husband is... He must have
686
00:36:23.889 --> 00:36:25.590
gone out very early this morning. You didn't happen to
687
00:36:25.610 --> 00:36:26.050
see him.
688
00:36:26.070 --> 00:36:30.590
He didn't go out. He's asleep on the couch. And Constance,
689
00:36:31.550 --> 00:36:32.309
I know who he is.
690
00:36:33.750 --> 00:36:35.670
Yes, I should have known. I couldn't fool you.
691
00:36:35.690 --> 00:36:38.170
This razor, I found it in his hand last night.
692
00:36:39.150 --> 00:36:42.880
He's a schizophrenia capable of committing murder. I'm going to
693
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.500
call the police.
694
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.780
No, Alex, please. Let me tell you about him.
695
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.800
What is there for you to say, my dear? We
696
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.239
both know that the mind of a woman in love
697
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.150
is operating on the lowest level of the intellect.
698
00:36:55.170 --> 00:36:59.130
Yes, you're right. No, I'm not an analyst here. I'm
699
00:36:59.170 --> 00:37:00.809
not even a doctor, and I'm not going to talk
700
00:37:00.829 --> 00:37:03.989
to you as one. But believe me, Alex, not what
701
00:37:04.030 --> 00:37:09.110
I say, but what I feel. The mind isn't everything.
702
00:37:09.190 --> 00:37:13.159
The heart sees deeper sometimes. And the shock of a
703
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:16.619
police investigation might ruin his chances for recovery. And, Alex,
704
00:37:16.699 --> 00:37:17.440
I can save him.
705
00:37:18.349 --> 00:37:19.590
What if he killed Dr.
706
00:37:19.730 --> 00:37:20.150
Edwards?
707
00:37:20.469 --> 00:37:21.349
How can you help him?
708
00:37:21.389 --> 00:37:22.570
But he didn't. He didn't.
709
00:37:22.849 --> 00:37:25.349
But if it turns out he did, which I am
710
00:37:25.670 --> 00:37:26.909
good and certain it will.
711
00:37:26.929 --> 00:37:30.659
But it won't, Alex. You yourself taught me what Freud says.
712
00:37:31.260 --> 00:37:33.579
A man cannot do anything in amnesia that his real
713
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:34.699
character would not have done.
714
00:37:34.980 --> 00:37:37.639
And how do you know what his real character is?
715
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:41.650
I know. I do know. I couldn't feel this way
716
00:37:41.670 --> 00:37:43.989
toward a man who was bad, who had committed murder.
717
00:37:44.030 --> 00:37:46.789
I couldn't feel this pain for someone who was evil.
718
00:37:47.230 --> 00:37:50.550
Ah, you are 20 times crazier than he. What do
719
00:37:50.570 --> 00:37:51.449
you want me to do?
720
00:37:51.530 --> 00:37:55.329
Give me time to treat him and cure him before
721
00:37:55.369 --> 00:37:56.150
the police find him.
722
00:37:56.170 --> 00:37:57.860
This could take a year.
723
00:37:57.909 --> 00:37:58.909
No, Alex, no.
724
00:37:59.070 --> 00:38:01.500
All right, a half a year. We should sit and
725
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:03.579
hide for a half a year waiting to find out
726
00:38:03.619 --> 00:38:05.820
if he's going to cut your throat, my throat, and
727
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:06.659
set the house afire?
728
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:11.800
No, Alex, please. Just a few days. Before you turn
729
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:13.579
him over, let me try for just a few days more.
730
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.320
And if I can't do anything, if we both can't,
731
00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:21.739
then you can call the police. But you're not hiding
732
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:27.050
a criminal. There's no evidence against him. Please.
733
00:38:28.230 --> 00:38:28.750
All right.
734
00:38:29.989 --> 00:38:33.309
Go make me coffee. I will pretend to myself I'm
735
00:38:33.409 --> 00:38:50.829
acting sensible for a few days. You don't remember your
736
00:38:50.949 --> 00:38:56.550
father or mother? No. Wife or sweetheart? No. Don't fight me.
737
00:38:56.679 --> 00:39:00.159
I'm going to help you if I can. I'm going
738
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:01.380
to be your father, Image.
739
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:02.440
Trust me.
740
00:39:03.500 --> 00:39:04.039
Lean on me.
741
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.300
All right, go on, go on. I'm leaning.
742
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.789
Maybe you've got something you want to tell me. A
743
00:39:10.949 --> 00:39:14.829
single thought. A few words in the corner of your head.
744
00:39:15.769 --> 00:39:17.570
Go on. Talk to me.
745
00:39:18.489 --> 00:39:21.570
Whatever comes to your head, just say.
746
00:39:21.389 --> 00:39:21.929
What it is.
747
00:39:22.070 --> 00:39:23.170
Nothing. There's nothing.
748
00:39:25.190 --> 00:39:27.530
I don't believe in dreams that Freud stuff is a
749
00:39:27.570 --> 00:39:28.409
lot of hooey.
750
00:39:29.369 --> 00:39:32.230
I explained... to you about dreams so you don't think
751
00:39:32.269 --> 00:39:35.670
it's a lot of hooey. The secrets of who you
752
00:39:35.989 --> 00:39:38.650
are and what made you run away from yourself, all
753
00:39:38.710 --> 00:39:42.789
these secrets are buried in your brain. But you don't
754
00:39:42.809 --> 00:39:45.809
want to look at them. The human being very often
755
00:39:45.849 --> 00:39:48.829
does not want to know the truth about himself. because
756
00:39:48.889 --> 00:39:53.340
he thinks it will make him sick. He, she make
757
00:39:53.380 --> 00:39:56.639
himself sick at trying to forget. You follow me?
758
00:39:56.860 --> 00:40:00.519
I'm not interested. All I've heard around here is dreams, dreams, dreams.
759
00:40:00.579 --> 00:40:02.179
I'm sick of them. There's nothing in them.
760
00:40:02.460 --> 00:40:07.380
But there is. I tell you, I tell you what
761
00:40:07.420 --> 00:40:10.219
you're trying to hide. What they tell it to you,
762
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:13.320
I'll tell it to you in pieces of a puzzle
763
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:17.000
that don't fit. The problem of the analyst is to
764
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:21.210
examine this puzzle... Put the pieces together in the right place.
765
00:40:21.909 --> 00:40:25.170
And the more cockeyed the details, the better for the
766
00:40:25.210 --> 00:40:29.789
scientific side.
767
00:40:30.230 --> 00:40:32.670
I can't make out just what sort of a place
768
00:40:32.730 --> 00:40:33.769
it was, but I was.
769
00:40:33.690 --> 00:40:35.670
Sitting and playing cards with a man.
770
00:40:36.369 --> 00:40:38.610
Yes, yes, it was a gambling house, but there weren't
771
00:40:38.650 --> 00:40:41.510
any walls, just a lot of curtains with eyes painted
772
00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:44.579
on them. The man was walking around with a large
773
00:40:44.659 --> 00:40:46.900
pair of scissors, cutting all.
774
00:40:46.820 --> 00:40:47.679
The draperies in half.
775
00:40:48.659 --> 00:40:50.820
And then a girl came in with hardly anything on
776
00:40:50.860 --> 00:40:54.139
and started walking around the gambling room kissing everybody.
777
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:55.920
She came to my table first.
778
00:40:55.940 --> 00:40:58.579
Did you recognize this kissing bug?
779
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:02.880
Well, I'm afraid she looked a little like Constance. Uh-huh.
780
00:41:03.780 --> 00:41:04.239
Go on.
781
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.559
Well, I was sitting there playing cards with a man
782
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:09.820
who had a beard. I was dealing to him, and
783
00:41:09.860 --> 00:41:12.940
I turned up the seven of clubs. He said, that
784
00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:14.159
makes 21.
785
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:14.320
I win.
786
00:41:16.829 --> 00:41:18.630
But when he turned the cards, they were
blank. And
787
00:41:18.690 --> 00:41:22.030
just then, the proprietor came in and accused him of cheating.
788
00:41:22.050 --> 00:41:24.289
The proprietor yelled, this is my place, and if I
789
00:41:24.329 --> 00:41:26.570
catch you cheating again, I'll fix you.
790
00:41:27.409 --> 00:41:28.769
Is that the end of the dream?
791
00:41:28.829 --> 00:41:34.050
No. Then someone was leaning over the sloping roof of
792
00:41:34.110 --> 00:41:36.570
a high building. It was a man with a beard.
793
00:41:37.260 --> 00:41:40.119
I yelled to him to watch out. Then he went.
794
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:44.429
Over slowly with his feet in the air. Then I
795
00:41:44.469 --> 00:41:46.780
saw the proprietor again, the man in the mask.
796
00:41:47.780 --> 00:41:51.320
He was hiding, hiding behind a tall chimney and he
797
00:41:51.340 --> 00:41:53.039
had a small wheel in his hand. I saw him
798
00:41:53.059 --> 00:41:56.929
drop the wheel on the roof. And then, then I
799
00:41:58.010 --> 00:42:02.789
suddenly found myself in a weird, deserted desert. Constance was
800
00:42:02.849 --> 00:42:06.510
sitting there. I ran to her, but she disappeared. Then
801
00:42:06.550 --> 00:42:08.250
I heard something beating over my head. It was a
802
00:42:08.269 --> 00:42:11.280
great pair of wings. The wings chased me and almost caught.
803
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:11.559
Up with me.
804
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:14.460
And when I came to the bottom of the hill
805
00:42:15.139 --> 00:42:18.530
i must have escaped i don't remember anymore.
806
00:42:20.789 --> 00:42:24.730
So something something is happening.
807
00:42:24.969 --> 00:42:27.949
What is it oh pull down the shades the snow
808
00:42:28.429 --> 00:42:31.130
the light frightened him what phobia no no.
809
00:42:31.050 --> 00:42:34.010
It was the snow look outside look outside alex what
810
00:42:34.030 --> 00:42:37.099
do you see well there are two children pulling a
811
00:42:37.139 --> 00:42:40.590
sled in the snow exactly The runners of sleds on snow.
812
00:42:40.610 --> 00:42:41.539
Dark lines on.
813
00:42:41.550 --> 00:42:42.969
Please, please, pull down the shades.
814
00:42:42.989 --> 00:42:44.670
Are the sled marks on the snow the reason for
815
00:42:44.710 --> 00:42:46.170
the sudden disturbance? Answer me.
816
00:42:46.190 --> 00:42:46.670
I don't know.
817
00:42:46.690 --> 00:42:49.219
It has to be. It follows a pattern. First was
818
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:50.920
a shock at the sight of fork lines drawn on
819
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:52.559
a white tablecloth. Then my white.
820
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:53.000
Please.
821
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:55.420
It had dark lines. And a couple of nights ago,
822
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:56.059
the white cover.
823
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:58.000
Please, pull the blinds down, please.
824
00:43:01.030 --> 00:43:04.329
Dr. Edwards was fond of sports. He mentions tennis and
825
00:43:04.409 --> 00:43:09.460
skiing in his book. Yes, skiing... Ski tracks in snow.
826
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:12.559
That's what those dark lines symbolized for him. And his
827
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:14.519
horror of them means, of course, that they are immediately
828
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:15.900
connected with the cause of his amnesia.
829
00:43:16.539 --> 00:43:18.590
Yes, a murder on skis.
830
00:43:18.610 --> 00:43:21.150
Where did Edwards go for his skiing? We must find out.
831
00:43:21.429 --> 00:43:23.190
Can you tell us where? Try.
832
00:43:23.650 --> 00:43:27.869
He has told you already, in his dream. A sloping roof.
833
00:43:28.550 --> 00:43:30.130
That means only a mountainside.
834
00:43:30.170 --> 00:43:33.280
They were skiing. And the father image, the bearded man,
835
00:43:33.380 --> 00:43:33.739
is Dr.
836
00:43:33.820 --> 00:43:34.059
Edwards.
837
00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:37.460
It's very simple. Edwards plunged over a precipice while skiing.
838
00:43:38.010 --> 00:43:40.250
Then a shadow chases him up and down a hill.
839
00:43:41.090 --> 00:43:43.110
That could mean he was escaping from a valley.
840
00:43:43.170 --> 00:43:46.590
A valley? The skiing resorts are often called valleys, like
841
00:43:46.829 --> 00:43:50.269
Sun Valley. And he was being pursued by a winged figure,
842
00:43:50.769 --> 00:43:51.849
a witch or a harpy.
843
00:43:52.409 --> 00:43:57.230
No, the figure was you. If you grew wings, you
844
00:43:57.269 --> 00:43:58.110
would be an angel.
845
00:43:58.190 --> 00:43:59.969
But the dream was trying to tell him the name
846
00:44:00.010 --> 00:44:04.300
of the resort. An angel. Angel Valley. Do you remember
847
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:04.980
Angel Valley?
848
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:06.219
No, no, it wasn't Angel Valley.
849
00:44:07.860 --> 00:44:11.840
I remember it was a place called Gabriel Valley.
850
00:44:13.989 --> 00:44:15.090
What else do you remember now?
851
00:44:15.989 --> 00:44:17.929
Who was the masked figure in your dream?
852
00:44:18.070 --> 00:44:20.909
It was an accident. Do you remember that? A skiing accident. Dr.
853
00:44:20.989 --> 00:44:22.050
Edwards went over a snow cliff.
854
00:44:22.070 --> 00:44:23.789
Oh, no, it was no accident.
855
00:44:24.550 --> 00:44:27.349
I can't stand it anymore.
856
00:44:27.409 --> 00:44:31.010
I've had enough of it. We've got to call the police.
857
00:44:31.110 --> 00:44:34.969
No. We've got to go to Gabriel Valley. You've got
858
00:44:35.010 --> 00:44:56.599
to go with me. All right. Get your skis on.
859
00:44:57.480 --> 00:44:58.619
We're going down that slope.
860
00:44:58.909 --> 00:44:59.300
I can't.
861
00:44:59.469 --> 00:44:59.820
Why not?
862
00:45:01.130 --> 00:45:03.389
I know about the razor and brew off.
863
00:45:03.750 --> 00:45:04.989
But nothing happened.
864
00:45:05.090 --> 00:45:08.619
Well, let me give myself up. I've committed one murder.
865
00:45:08.659 --> 00:45:09.960
I can commit another.
866
00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:10.800
It's guilt.
867
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:12.099
Guilt.
868
00:45:13.079 -->
00:45:15.079
You've lived with it for a long time, haven't you?
869
00:45:15.179 --> 00:45:15.659
Yes.
870
00:45:15.739 --> 00:45:16.539
Since childhood.
871
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:17.420
What?
872
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:20.059
Ever since your childhood, you've tried to run away from something.
873
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.829
You've always felt guilty about anything around you. What was
874
00:45:23.869 --> 00:45:26.670
it in your youth? It must have been terrible for
875
00:45:26.690 --> 00:45:29.369
you to prefer to think that you murdered Edwards rather
876
00:45:29.389 --> 00:45:30.250
than remember what.
877
00:45:30.150 --> 00:45:31.010
Happened long ago.
878
00:45:31.429 --> 00:45:33.070
I'm not going down that slope.
879
00:45:33.110 --> 00:45:35.730
No. You said you loved me.
880
00:45:37.010 --> 00:45:37.630
Look at me, then.
881
00:45:39.210 --> 00:45:42.550
Why am I fighting for you? Because I love you,
882
00:45:42.690 --> 00:45:43.610
because I need you.
883
00:45:43.630 --> 00:45:44.070
I'm nothing.
884
00:45:44.449 --> 00:45:45.510
Put your skis on.
885
00:45:45.550 --> 00:45:46.619
But what good will that do?
886
00:45:46.659 --> 00:45:49.000
We're going down this slope as you did with Edwards,
887
00:45:49.139 --> 00:45:52.139
and you'll see your innocence. You'll see what really happened.
888
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.139
You mean because it'll happen again?
889
00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:54.519
Yes.
890
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:55.699
What if I killed him?
891
00:45:57.329 --> 00:46:00.269
Isn't it true that if the episode is repeated, I'm
892
00:46:00.309 --> 00:46:02.230
likely to do the same thing I did before?
893
00:46:02.250 --> 00:46:06.380
How do you know I won't? I won't kill again.
894
00:46:06.610 --> 00:46:09.170
Because I'm convinced you didn't kill in the first place.
895
00:46:11.010 --> 00:46:13.869
Constance, you believe in me enough to take such a chance.
896
00:46:15.389 --> 00:46:16.070
With your life.
897
00:46:17.110 --> 00:46:20.889
Of course I do. We're ready to go down the
898
00:46:20.909 --> 00:46:26.050
ski run. We're going to find out what happened to Dr. Edwards.
899
00:46:26.690 --> 00:46:27.230
I'm ready.
900
00:46:28.170 --> 00:46:28.630
Follow me.
901
00:46:29.110 --> 00:46:30.539
Thank you.
902
00:46:39.769 --> 00:46:41.969
White, white with dark lines.
903
00:46:42.130 --> 00:46:44.920
I know about the razor and Brulock. I've committed one murder.
904
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:48.539
White, white with dark lines. Ski tracks, Dr. Edwards' ski
905
00:46:48.579 --> 00:46:49.639
tracks ahead of me.
906
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:50.420
I can't commit another.
907
00:46:50.460 --> 00:46:53.159
I've got to get close. I've got to be near you, Dr.
908
00:46:53.219 --> 00:46:53.539
Edwards.
909
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:55.320
Isn't it true that if I kill Dr. Edwards here
910
00:46:55.380 --> 00:46:57.119
on the ski run, I'm likely to do it again?
911
00:46:57.179 --> 00:46:57.619
Closer.
912
00:46:57.989 --> 00:46:58.590
I've got to get closer.
913
00:46:58.610 --> 00:47:00.250
How do you know I won't kill again?
914
00:47:00.289 --> 00:47:01.150
Soon, soon.
915
00:47:01.250 --> 00:47:02.469
Oh, no!
916
00:47:02.690 --> 00:47:04.750
Precipice ahead! Precipice ahead!
917
00:47:05.429 --> 00:47:06.110
Stop, Dr.
918
00:47:06.170 --> 00:47:06.369
Edwards!
919
00:47:06.389 --> 00:47:26.610
Fall! Fall! Constance, I remember Dr. Edwards went over the precipice.
920
00:47:27.659 --> 00:47:28.340
And where were you?
921
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:30.139
I never was close to him.
922
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:34.579
I know Edwards was at least 25 feet ahead of
923
00:47:34.659 --> 00:47:36.519
me as you were when he went over.
924
00:47:39.949 --> 00:47:45.690
Come on. Now we're going to the police. Oh, my darlings.
925
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:04.199
Constance, I remember my name. It's John Valentine.
926
00:48:05.139 --> 00:48:06.480
I'm very pleased to meet you.
927
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:10.800
I ran into Dr. Edwards when I was in Cumberland
928
00:48:10.889 --> 00:48:13.659
Mountains trying to recover from some kind of nerve shock
929
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:17.719
I got when an Army plane crashed. He was on vacation,
930
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:20.199
but I asked him to help me and invited me
931
00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:22.579
to go skiing with him. We went through New York,
932
00:48:22.619 --> 00:48:24.570
and I vaguely remember going.
933
00:48:24.489 --> 00:48:27.190
To lunch somewhere. I'm still a little vague about the
934
00:48:27.210 --> 00:48:32.929
lunch part. And then we arrived here. The accident happened.
935
00:48:33.829 --> 00:48:38.840
Tell me. It's vital that you remember your youth. The incident.
936
00:48:39.139 --> 00:48:40.739
I believe I can tell you that.
937
00:48:42.889 --> 00:48:45.769
My brother Tom was five and I was seven. We
938
00:48:45.949 --> 00:48:48.409
lived in a house which had a long banister alongside
939
00:48:48.429 --> 00:48:52.360
the steps outside. About the house and immediately below the
940
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.739
banister was an iron spiked railing. Tom and I always
941
00:48:57.860 --> 00:49:02.590
used that banister for sliding. One day he went first
942
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:05.610
and I followed behind him. When he reached the bottom.
943
00:49:05.670 --> 00:49:06.030
He.
944
00:49:07.429 --> 00:49:09.789
Didn't get out of my path rapidly enough and I
945
00:49:09.829 --> 00:49:17.300
couldn't stop. Tom was impaled. I realize now it was
946
00:49:17.329 --> 00:49:19.550
it was an accident.
947
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:23.159
I didn't kill my brother.
948
00:49:24.500 --> 00:49:26.900
And the ghost of the past is gone now darling
949
00:49:28.420 --> 00:49:31.460
that was the memory you were afraid of that's why
950
00:49:31.500 --> 00:49:33.440
you took on the role of Dr. Edwards to prove
951
00:49:33.460 --> 00:49:35.679
to yourself that he wasn't dead and therefore you hadn't
952
00:49:35.699 -->
00:49:39.420
killed him it was your childhood guilt.
953
00:49:39.219 --> 00:49:44.570
Complex Professor, I never quite realized in my amnesia state
954
00:49:45.829 --> 00:49:47.329
how very lovely you are.
955
00:49:48.139 --> 00:49:48.639
Hello, Dr.
956
00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:49.110
Peterson.
957
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:53.239
Well, hello, Lieutenant Cooley. Did you find the body of Dr.
958
00:49:53.300 --> 00:49:56.840
Edwards? Yes. In almost the exact spot you told the
959
00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:57.699
mountain police it would be.
960
00:49:57.719 --> 00:49:59.400
Oh, thank goodness it's all cleared up.
961
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:03.739
Well, not quite. I'm afraid a bullet was found in
962
00:50:03.780 --> 00:50:04.219
the body.
963
00:50:05.980 --> 00:50:06.940
That's impossible.
964
00:50:07.460 --> 00:50:08.079
I'm afraid Mr.
965
00:50:09.130 --> 00:50:12.210
whatever your name is, that you're charged with murder.
966
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:28.280
It's too bad, Constance, your Mr. Ballantyne was convicted of murder,
967
00:50:29.210 --> 00:50:32.050
but you have a great career ahead of you, if
968
00:50:32.090 --> 00:50:32.610
you forget.
969
00:50:33.570 --> 00:50:34.170
Thank you, Doctor.
970
00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:36.829
Well, Dr.
971
00:50:36.860 --> 00:50:39.099
Murchison, at least one good thing came out of all
972
00:50:39.119 --> 00:50:43.550
of this. You're back at Green Manors. Who knows what
973
00:50:43.570 --> 00:50:45.110
would have happened to the place under Dr.
974
00:50:45.210 --> 00:50:45.570
Edwards.
975
00:50:46.150 --> 00:50:49.829
I knew Edwards only slightly. I never really liked him,
976
00:50:49.929 --> 00:50:53.170
but he was a good man in a way, I suppose. Well,
977
00:50:53.469 --> 00:50:56.230
good night, Constance. I hope you feel rested in the morning.
978
00:51:01.329 --> 00:51:03.489
I knew Edwards only slightly.
979
00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:20.519
I knew Edwards... Dr.
980
00:51:20.539 --> 00:51:22.900
Murchison, I want to talk to you.
981
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:25.280
Please sit down. What's your problem?
982
00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:29.429
It's a dream that one of my patients reported.
983
00:51:29.550 --> 00:51:31.429
May I ask who the patient is?
984
00:51:32.090 --> 00:51:33.829
The patient is Mr. Ballantyne.
985
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:38.800
Charming loyalty. What did he dream?
986
00:51:40.019 --> 00:51:42.639
He dreamed that he was in a gambling house. It
987
00:51:42.659 --> 00:51:45.219
was full of odd people playing with blank cards.
988
00:51:45.300 --> 00:51:49.219
Blank cards. Obviously, the patient was trying to deny it
989
00:51:49.260 --> 00:51:50.280
was a gambling house.
990
00:51:50.500 --> 00:51:52.440
One of the people in the place went around cutting
991
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.440
drapes in half. A mother was a scantily dressed girl
992
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:56.519
who was kissing everybody.
993
00:51:56.579 --> 00:51:59.800
With a little effort, one could almost imagine them inmates
994
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:00.579
of green manners.
995
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:04.460
Yes, that's what I had in mind, Doctor. The patient...
996
00:52:04.659 --> 00:52:09.159
was playing cards, now no longer blank, a game of
997
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:13.050
21 with a bearded man, who was evidently Dr.
998
00:52:13.139 --> 00:52:13.469
Edwards.
999
00:52:13.510 --> 00:52:17.250
Yes, one usually dreams of one's analyst as authority with
1000
00:52:17.309 --> 00:52:17.829
a beard.
1001
00:52:18.510 --> 00:52:20.730
Yes, he dealt Dr. Edwards a seven of clubs, and
1002
00:52:20.829 --> 00:52:23.789
Edwards said, that makes it 21.
1003
00:52:23.789 --> 00:52:25.849
I would say that the patient was trying to mention
1004
00:52:25.909 --> 00:52:29.170
a locale. The seven of clubs might mean a club.
1005
00:52:29.230 --> 00:52:30.929
Yes, with the word 21 in it. There is such
1006
00:52:30.949 --> 00:52:32.360
a place in New York. It's called the 21 Club.
1007
00:52:33.170 --> 00:52:33.980
I've heard of it.
1008
00:52:34.030 --> 00:52:36.230
And the patient dreamed that the proprietor of the place
1009
00:52:36.269 --> 00:52:38.909
came in and began accusing Dr. Edwards of cheating. He
1010
00:52:38.969 --> 00:52:40.550
ordered Edwards out of the place and said, I won't
1011
00:52:40.570 --> 00:52:42.309
allow you to play here. This is my place. I'm
1012
00:52:42.329 --> 00:52:43.250
going to fix you.
1013
00:52:43.429 --> 00:52:47.150
The dream gives the locale a double identity, the 21
1014
00:52:47.150 --> 00:52:51.050
Club and Green Manors. But the proprietor seems to belong
1015
00:52:51.130 --> 00:52:53.949
more to the latter. In fact, I would say that
1016
00:52:54.050 --> 00:52:59.579
this angry proprietor who threatened Dr. Edwards was myself.
1017
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:01.380
It seemed that way to me.
1018
00:53:02.869 --> 00:53:07.989
I presume you only arrived at this solution tonight and
1019
00:53:08.030 --> 00:53:11.610
have confided your findings to nobody.
1020
00:53:11.809 --> 00:53:12.230
Not yet.
1021
00:53:13.550 --> 00:53:15.949
Was there any more to the dream?
1022
00:53:15.989 --> 00:53:19.800
Yes. The patient dreamed that he and Dr. Edwards were
1023
00:53:19.860 --> 00:53:22.860
on a high sloping roof and that he saw Dr.
1024
00:53:22.940 --> 00:53:26.480
Edwards plunge over to his death. He also saw the
1025
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:30.360
angry proprietor hiding behind a chimney holding a saw wheel
1026
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:30.900
in his hand.
1027
00:53:31.739 --> 00:53:35.500
He dropped the wheel The symbolism of the wheel escapes me.
1028
00:53:35.659 --> 00:53:39.320
It was a revolver. The proprietor who threatened Dr. Edwards'
1029
00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:42.280
life dropped a revolver in the snow in Gabriel Valley
1030
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:45.610
after shooting Dr. Edwards in the back. The weapon is
1031
00:53:45.619 --> 00:53:46.969
still there at the foot of the tree with the
1032
00:53:46.989 -->
00:53:48.199
murderer's fingerprints on it.
1033
00:53:48.329 --> 00:53:50.650
I cannot agree with this part of your interpretation for
1034
00:53:50.670 --> 00:53:52.630
the good reason that the weapon is now in my hand.
1035
00:53:54.449 --> 00:53:58.969
I imagined that something of this sort would happen after
1036
00:53:59.030 --> 00:54:01.130
I made the slip about knowing Dr.
1037
00:54:01.230 --> 00:54:01.550
Edwards.
1038
00:54:02.769 --> 00:54:05.730
That started your agile young mind going.
1039
00:54:05.750 --> 00:54:08.449
You were having a breakdown. And in a state of panic,
1040
00:54:08.469 --> 00:54:10.269
you heard that Edwards was to take your place here.
1041
00:54:10.780 --> 00:54:12.900
You sought him out in his favorite restaurant where he
1042
00:54:12.940 --> 00:54:17.239
was lunching with John Ballantyne. You accused him of stealing
1043
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:19.380
your job. You threatened to kill him. He calmed you
1044
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:20.880
down and told you that he was off on a
1045
00:54:20.900 --> 00:54:23.789
skiing vacation. And you followed him there and you shot
1046
00:54:23.829 --> 00:54:25.110
him from behind a tree.
1047
00:54:25.150 --> 00:54:25.570
That's enough.
1048
00:54:27.329 --> 00:54:29.409
Did it ever occur to you that the punishment for
1049
00:54:29.469 --> 00:54:31.590
two murders... It's the same as one.
1050
00:54:31.650 --> 00:54:33.750
But you're not going to commit a second murder.
1051
00:54:33.769 --> 00:54:34.739
I hadn't planned to.
1052
00:54:34.750 --> 00:54:37.409
But you are here.
1053
00:54:38.550 --> 00:54:42.329
You are not leaving. My gun is trained at your heart.
1054
00:54:42.409 --> 00:54:45.500
A man of your intelligence does not commit a stupid murder, Doctor.
1055
00:54:46.460 --> 00:54:48.599
You are thinking that you are not mentally responsible for
1056
00:54:48.619 --> 00:54:51.760
that other crime in the snow. They will find extenuating
1057
00:54:51.820 --> 00:54:55.079
circumstances in the state of your health. They will not
1058
00:54:55.139 --> 00:54:56.400
execute you for the death of Dr.
1059
00:54:56.460 --> 00:54:56.719
Edwards.
1060
00:54:56.739 --> 00:55:00.760
You can still live, read, write, research... even if you
1061
00:55:00.860 --> 00:55:04.809
are put away. I'm leaving, Dr.
1062
00:55:04.849 --> 00:55:05.170
Murchison.
1063
00:55:05.190 --> 00:55:06.690
Stay right where you are, or I'll shoot.
1064
00:55:06.769 --> 00:55:09.710
I don't think so. You're thinking right now that if
1065
00:55:09.750 --> 00:55:13.590
you shoot, it is cold, deliberate murder. You will be
1066
00:55:13.630 --> 00:55:17.239
tried as sane murderer, convicted as a sane man, and
1067
00:55:17.260 --> 00:55:19.380
you will be killed in the electric chair for your crime.
1068
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:24.320
I'm going to telephone the police, Dr.
1069
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:24.760
Murchison.
1070
00:55:41.219 --> 00:55:43.579
How does it feel to be a great analyst, darling?
1071
00:55:44.219 --> 00:55:44.860
Not so bad.
1072
00:55:44.940 --> 00:55:46.079
And a great detective.
1073
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:46.780
Wonderful.
1074
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:47.800
Madly adored.
1075
00:55:47.900 --> 00:55:49.000
Very wonderful.
1076
00:55:49.539 --> 00:55:55.039
White. You know, with a little orange blossom in your hair...
1077
00:55:55.869 --> 00:55:57.469
You'll look wonderful in white.
1078
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:19.980
A long time ago, William Shakespeare wrote, The fault is
1079
00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:24.260
not in our stars, but in ourselves. How very wise
1080
00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:24.659
he was.
1081
00:56:36.849 --> 00:56:39.170
Our stars will return in just a moment with screen
1082
00:56:39.210 --> 00:56:43.650
director Alfred Hitchcock. Next Thursday, the screen director's playhouse will
1083
00:56:43.670 --> 00:56:46.960
present Take a Letter, Darling. It will star two of
1084
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:50.900
your favorites, Rosalind Russell and Fred McMurray, with screen director
1085
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:54.719
Mitchell Lyson. Now, here again are our stars, Joseph Cotton
1086
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:56.719
and Mercedes McCambridge, and Mr.
1087
00:56:56.800 --> 00:56:57.449
Alfred Hitchcock.
1088
00:57:06.849 --> 00:57:10.780
Thank you, Joseph Carton and Mercedes McCambridge, for a splendid performance.
1089
00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:14.559
On our screen director's playhouse, it is our aim to
1090
00:57:14.679 --> 00:57:17.519
always present the best, and most certainly you both fall
1091
00:57:17.539 --> 00:57:18.440
into that category.
1092
00:57:18.539 --> 00:57:20.400
Thank you, Hitch, for those beautiful words.
1093
00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:22.739
What else does an actor have to look forward to
1094
00:57:22.900 --> 00:57:23.960
other than praise?
1095
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:25.119
Mind if I answer that, Joe?
1096
00:57:25.260 --> 00:57:26.099
Surely, Mercedes.
1097
00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:30.769
A paycheck. Seriously, though, it's been a great privilege to
1098
00:57:30.809 --> 00:57:31.409
work with you, Mr.
1099
00:57:31.449 --> 00:57:31.889
Hitchcock.
1100
00:57:32.510 --> 00:57:34.210
And for Joe and myself, I'd like to say invite
1101
00:57:34.250 --> 00:57:36.170
us back soon, won't you? Good night.
1102
00:57:36.190 --> 00:57:36.789
Good night, Hitch.
1103
00:57:37.429 --> 00:57:41.179
We'll be seeing you, Joe Cotton and Mercedes McCambridge. Good night, everybody.
1104
00:57:41.780 --> 00:57:51.349
Good night.
1105
00:58:17.329 --> 00:58:20.530
Spellbound is from the David O. Selznick motion picture production
1106

1107
00:58:24.139 --> 00:58:28.699

00:58:51.650 --> 00:58:51.909
Dr.
1114
00:58:51.949 --> 00:58:55.320
Samuel Hoffman interpreted the theremin music in tonight's musical score.
1115
00:58:56.019 --> 00:58:57.039
Portions were transcribed.
1116
00:58:57.980 --> 00:59:01.199
