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.

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.

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.

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

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.
