00:01:40Hello?
00:01:43Hello?
00:01:44I have to talk to you.
00:01:49Hello?
00:01:53Hello?

00:02:54♪♪
00:03:00Hi.
00:03:04How'd it go?
00:03:12It didn't go.
00:03:14You have to be an equity member.
00:03:18A small-time out-of-town show and you gotta be equity.
00:03:22They need an American for the part. I mean, it was tailor-made for me.
00:03:26Now what?
00:03:29I'll think of something.
00:03:37Uh-uh.
00:03:38Hmm?
00:03:39You're not talking that.
00:03:40Oh, come on, Tim.
00:03:41This is my apartment and that is my record player.
00:03:43Okay, but in that case, I'm into you for another loan, all right?
00:03:47On what collateral?
00:03:48My future successes.
00:03:50He was saying that three months ago.
00:04:03Why don't you go home, Dave?
00:04:05No.
00:04:06I'm not going home yet.
00:04:08Listen, Tim, when I left for Europe, they threw me a send-off at the station.
00:04:13I mean, it was big. They even had a five-piece band.
00:04:16Well, it was a very small town.
00:04:19Besides, I don't have the fare.
00:04:21Unless you could...
00:04:22I'm sorry.
00:04:27What will you do?
00:04:29I'll survive.
00:04:31Look, I've bluffed my way across half of Europe.
00:04:33I'll survive. Something will turn up.
00:04:38Let's go.
00:05:09Hmm.
00:05:27Betty?
00:05:28This is Helen.
00:05:29Helen Currie.
00:05:31Yes, I'm fine.
00:05:33I'm sorry to call you so late.
00:05:35Do you remember telling me about that analyst, the man who helped your mother so much?
00:05:40No, no, it's not for me.
00:05:42A friend was asking, and I remember that...
00:05:45Ever thought you might be getting a bit long in the tooth?
00:05:48Oh, yeah, lots of times.
00:05:50Especially in the morning, after I've tied it on the night before.
00:05:54I know. I mean, this boy actor, this matinee idol bit.
00:06:00Look, it's not my business, Dave, but I...
00:06:02Look, it's not my business, Dave, but I...
00:06:05I mean, I would have thought if you hadn't made it before you're 30, you're not going to.
00:06:10You're right.
00:06:12It's none of your business.
00:06:14No, you're right, Tim.
00:06:17You're right on both counts.
00:06:20I should be setting my sights on something more solid.
00:06:23And given a teeny amount of capital up front, Tim, I think I can...
00:06:25Oh, I'm sorry, Dave. No more loans.
00:06:28Well, there's always Susie, isn't there?
00:06:31Think I can con a few more pennies out of Susie?
00:06:34Look, Susie is a nice girl.
00:06:37Yeah, but her dad's nicer.
00:06:39Oh, her dad's got the money.
00:06:43I don't like what you're doing to her.
00:06:45Oh, come on.
00:06:47Come on, I flatter her, don't I? I put on a tuxedo and I...
00:06:49My tuxedo.
00:06:50All right, your tuxedo.
00:06:52I squire her around town.
00:06:54I'm attentive, I'm admiring.
00:06:57I ply her with witty and sparkling conversation.
00:06:59And always let her pick up the tab.
00:07:01You're a louse.
00:07:03Only when I'm flat broke, Tim.
00:07:05Which is always.
00:07:07Yeah, but you're forgetting that...
00:07:11Hello.
00:07:12Dr. Corton?
00:07:13What?
00:07:14Dr. Corton, you don't know me, but my name is Currie.
00:07:18Helen Currie.
00:07:20I wouldn't call you Currie.
00:07:21Helen Currie.
00:07:23I wouldn't call you so late, but this is very urgent.
00:07:25Now, now, just a minute, I...
00:07:27Dr. Corton, you've got to help me.
00:07:29I think I'm going out of my mind.
00:07:31It's these dreams, these terrible dreams.
00:07:34I have this knife and this blood.
00:07:37Dr. Corton, I'm going to kill someone.
00:07:39I just know that if you don't help me, I'm going to kill someone.
00:07:42Hey, look, if you're going to kill somebody, I think you'd better call the police.
00:07:45Please, you must see me tonight.
00:07:47I could come to you.
00:07:49I'm not very far out of town. Perhaps you could come here.
00:07:51Look, lady, you're making a big mistake. I'm not...
00:07:53Oh, please, I beg you.
00:07:55If it's money, I don't care what it costs, I'll pay anything, anything.
00:07:58Please help me.
00:08:00What is all this?
00:08:02Now, uh, just, just hold on.
00:08:05Hold on a minute.
00:08:07Mrs. Currie, is it?
00:08:08Miss, miss.
00:08:10Helen Currie.
00:08:11All right, Miss Currie.
00:08:15You require an immediate consultation?
00:08:17Yes.
00:08:19I see, and you're, uh, you're well aware of what my fees run?
00:08:23Oh, come on, Dave.
00:08:24Shh.
00:08:26And that, uh, well, under these exceptional circumstances,
00:08:30I might have to charge double or maybe even triple.
00:08:33I don't care. Anything. Only please help me.
00:08:37Very well, Miss Currie. I don't usually do this, but yes.
00:08:41Yes, I'll see you tonight.
00:08:42Oh, thank God.
00:08:44Should I come to you?
00:08:46Should I come to you?
00:08:47No, no, I'll, uh, I'll come to you.
00:08:49What's your address?
00:08:50Helen, I can't wait.
00:08:51Will you shut up?
00:08:54Now, Miss Currie.
00:08:55It's five Rilles, stepping east.
00:08:58Five, five.
00:08:59Big house just outside town. You can't miss it.
00:09:01Fine.
00:09:04I'll see you as soon as I can.
00:09:10What is going on?
00:09:12She must have missed dial.
00:09:13That's it. She must have missed dial.
00:09:15Dave.
00:09:17Porton.
00:09:20Porton.
00:09:22Porton.
00:09:23Porton.
00:09:24Dr. Porton.
00:09:26Psychiatrist.
00:09:28Yeah, look.
00:09:29Look, I was right.
00:09:31I was right, you see? His number's 2215.
00:09:34Ours is six.
00:09:36She just dialed one digit wrong.
00:09:39Boy, I said something would turn up and it did.
00:09:41Dave!
00:09:42Dave, will you please tell me what is going on?
00:09:46Well, a poor neurotic girl needs some help, Timo.
00:09:49A poor neurotic, very rich girl.
00:10:13Dr. Porton?
00:10:26Miss Currie.
00:10:27Dr. Porton?
00:10:28Yes.
00:10:29Please come in.
00:10:36You are uptight, aren't you?
00:10:38It's these dreams, nightmares.
00:10:39No, I want to hear all about it.
00:10:40That's...
00:10:41That's why I'm here.
00:10:43But, uh...
00:10:44Not in the hallway, huh?
00:10:46No, I'm sorry.
00:10:47In here.
00:10:52Nice house you have here.
00:10:54Very big.
00:10:57Expensive.
00:11:05Then I'm at the top of the stairs.
00:11:08There's a knife in my hand.
00:11:10And there's blood and I'm screaming.
00:11:12I'm screaming.
00:11:16And then I wake up.
00:11:21You can help me, can't you, Dr. Porton?
00:11:23Yes.
00:11:25Yes, of course.
00:11:29Tell me, how long have you been having these dreams?
00:11:33Three, maybe four weeks.
00:11:36And the man you kill...
00:11:37Well, the man you think you kill...
00:11:40Who is he?
00:11:43I don't know. I never saw him before.
00:11:47Hmm.
00:11:49I'm losing my mind, aren't I? I'm going...
00:11:51Well, Miss Curry, you certainly are...
00:11:55very disturbed and you most certainly do need help.
00:11:58My help.
00:12:00But as far as losing your mind...
00:12:04Then you will help me.
00:12:05Yes, of course I will.
00:12:07I'll try and devote as much time as I can to you.
00:12:10We'll have to arrange for a series of sessions.
00:12:13Do you have my number?
00:12:15Yes.
00:12:17Let me see.
00:12:18Ah, that's my office number.
00:12:20You know, it's just lucky I happen to be in tonight.
00:12:22Otherwise, my secretary would have put you off...
00:12:25with an appointment for a couple of weeks away.
00:12:29Now, this is my private line.
00:12:32You can reach me there anytime.
00:12:34I don't see any point in prescribing anything at this hour...
00:12:36and I'll bring some sedatives along when I come back tomorrow.
00:12:39See you around noon?
00:12:41Fine.
00:12:43I feel better already having talked to you.
00:12:45I thought you might.
00:12:46Helen!
00:12:48Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company.
00:12:51Oh, Anne.
00:12:53This is Mr. Porton.
00:12:56My sister, Anne.
00:12:59Call me Dave.
00:13:00Hello.
00:13:01Hello.
00:13:04We're friends of friends.
00:13:06We were just catching up on some old times.
00:13:08Well, leave you to it then.
00:13:10Night, Helen. Dave.
00:13:12Good night.
00:13:20You don't want her to know I'm a doctor?
00:13:22No.
00:13:24Well, don't worry. I understand.
00:13:28Now, Miss Curry, there is the question of my fee.
00:13:34It worked, Tim.
00:13:36It worked like a dream.
00:13:38And all because of a dream.
00:13:40Look at this.
00:13:42Look at it.
00:13:44Made out to cash, and that is just a down payment.
00:13:48I've hit a goldmine.
00:13:50You really went through with it?
00:13:51Of course I went through with it.
00:13:53Listen, you ought to...
00:13:55Hey, do we have any of those coffee sweeteners around here somewhere?
00:13:58They ought to double as tranquilizer.
00:14:00Look, Dave, this is immoral.
00:14:01Don't worry. She can afford it. And how?
00:14:03It is also illegal.
00:14:05They can send you to jail for it.
00:14:06Yeah? Well, who's going to tell, huh?
00:14:08Not you.
00:14:13Not you, Timo. I'll spread you all over these walls.
00:14:19I don't want anything to do with it.
00:14:22Come on, don't be so serious.
00:14:25Listen, do you know I did her some good?
00:14:27She actually said she felt better after talking to me?
00:14:31Conning, a sick girl.
00:14:33Sick? Who said sick?
00:14:35Ah, she's spoiled.
00:14:38She's petulant.
00:14:40She's got too much money for her own good and too much imagination.
00:14:57Mom!
00:15:03Mom!
00:15:10It happened again?
00:15:12What, the same man, and you killed him?
00:15:13No, this time I was cleaning up the blood.
00:15:18The blood?
00:15:19Yes, there was a lot of blood. Stairs, walls, everywhere.
00:15:23Such a lot of blood.
00:15:25I see, but otherwise the dream is the same?
00:15:29More or less, yes.
00:15:31What does it mean?
00:15:33Helen, I'm not quite sure.
00:15:36It's just a little bit too early to tell.
00:15:40You know, these things take time.
00:15:44I should call the police, the hospital, have myself commissioned.
00:15:46You can't do that, Helen.
00:15:49That would be...
00:15:55Good morning, Anne.
00:15:57Hi.
00:15:59See you later, huh?
00:16:09Helen.
00:16:11You mustn't think of calling hospitals or the police.
00:16:15Not ever. You are my patient now and it would be...
00:16:19It would be unethical for you to start looking around somewhere else.
00:16:21It's just these dreams, these terrible dreams. If only I could sleep.
00:16:24Well, I'm going to fix that. I'm going to fix that.
00:16:29Here.
00:16:31I want you to take four of those a day and they'll calm you down.
00:16:35Now, they're sweet. They are awfully sweet.
00:16:37In fact, you might think that's just what they are, sweetness.
00:16:40But they'll help, I promise.
00:16:44Helen, you trust me, don't you?
00:16:46That's good. Now, no more talk of hospitals and no more talk of police, all right?
00:16:51What does this dream mean?
00:16:53Well, we'll talk it through again.
00:16:55We'll talk it through again.
00:17:00All right.
00:17:03Now, you're on the stairway and there's this man.
00:17:08A man I don't know. A man I never saw before.
00:17:10I don't hold down many hopes, Miss Kirby.
00:17:13If you reported your brother to the police as a missing person...
00:17:16But they weren't concerned. Not at all.
00:17:19No, I suppose not.
00:17:21He's thirty-something, I'd say.
00:17:23Thirty-four.
00:17:24Well, Miss, a mature, able-bodied man goes missing.
00:17:27The cops tend to think it's his business.
00:17:29I doubt I'd be that concerned.
00:17:31He looks well able to take care of himself.
00:17:33But it's not like him not to make any contact with me.
00:17:36How long?
00:17:37Nearly four weeks.
00:17:39I don't hold down many hopes.
00:17:42What about this Currie woman?
00:17:44Me?
00:17:45Well, until recently, he was seeing a Miss Currie.
00:17:47Look, you see, it's noted in his diary several times.
00:17:50Miss Currie, Steppingly.
00:17:52That would explain it.
00:17:54A man often loses his head over a woman.
00:17:56And however mature he is...
00:17:57No, I phoned her.
00:17:59And?
00:18:01And?
00:18:02And however mature he is...
00:18:03No, I phoned her.
00:18:04And?
00:18:06Well, she said she hadn't seen him in weeks.
00:18:09But...
00:18:10Well, I know it sounds stupid, and I've got no reason for saying so.
00:18:13But...
00:18:15I thought she was lying.
00:18:17Well, don't ask me why. It's...
00:18:19It's just a feeling.
00:18:21A woman's intuition.
00:18:22I've been in this business too long to mistrust intuition, Miss Kirby.
00:18:26I'll drop by then and ask around.
00:18:27Oh, thank you.
00:18:30But I'm just a private detective.
00:18:32Prided against all the police resources, I don't hold out many hopes.
00:18:36Now, my suggestion is you take a couple of those pills and go on upstairs
00:18:39and try to catch up on some of the sleep, hmm?
00:18:44Helen, do you feel lighter since you talked it out?
00:18:47Well, that's fine.
00:18:49That's just what I want.
00:18:51All right, I'll do as I say.
00:18:54Then, if you like, I can come back a little later on this evening, hmm?
00:18:58Very kind.
00:18:59Must be neglecting your other patients.
00:19:02Helen, you are my most important patient at the moment.
00:19:06Believe me.
00:19:23Off you go. Get some rest.
00:19:29Here we go.
00:19:30You're a doctor, aren't you?
00:19:56Am I?
00:19:57Oh, I expect you have some agreement with Helen.
00:20:00But it doesn't matter.
00:20:02I can tell.
00:20:07I'm glad.
00:20:09I've been trying to persuade her for weeks to see someone.
00:20:13Is...
00:20:14Is she burial?
00:20:17You're trying to trap me into an admission.
00:20:20She is my sister.
00:20:22And I'm concerned about her.
00:20:24Very concerned.
00:20:25And she worries about me.
00:20:27That's partly what all this is about.
00:20:29What do you mean?
00:20:31Paul.
00:20:32Paul Kirby.
00:20:34Just a man I met and brought home a couple of times.
00:20:40I'm a couple of years older than Helen, and...
00:20:43And she worries about me, about not getting married.
00:20:46Being left on the shelf, you know?
00:20:49So when I brought Paul home, she...
00:20:51She started to get involved.
00:20:53Almost as though he were her man.
00:20:56When did you last see him?
00:20:58Nearly four weeks ago.
00:21:01That's when the nightmares started.
00:21:03What?
00:21:05Oh, nothing.
00:21:07You've just given me some very useful information.
00:21:10A lever.
00:21:11A lever?
00:21:12Mm-hmm.
00:21:13To help you sit up straight.
00:21:15Oh, I see.
00:21:17I see.
00:21:18A lever.
00:21:19Mm-hmm.
00:21:20To help your sister with.
00:21:22Thanks, Ann, very much.
00:21:27Oh, and I wouldn't, uh...
00:21:29Worry about being left on the shelf.
00:21:32No chance.
00:21:48No!
00:21:50No!
00:22:18No!
00:22:48Hello, anybody home?
00:23:18Hello?
00:23:48Hello, who's there?
00:24:19No!
00:24:35No!
00:24:49No!
00:25:12It's transference.
00:25:13Transference.
00:25:15This looking out for the older sister thing, it's called transference.
00:25:20It's like, uh, wishful thinking.
00:25:25You see, Helen really wanted this Paul guy.
00:25:29But he was her sister's boyfriend.
00:25:32So she just told herself she's looking out for Sister Ann.
00:25:37Now, that's on the outside.
00:25:39But on the inside...
00:25:41She really wanted him.
00:25:44But she couldn't have him, so...
00:25:47She murdered him.
00:25:49In her mind, in her nightmare, she just does away with the guy.
00:25:57That's my expert opinion, anyway.
00:26:01I wouldn't expect a mere layman like you to be able to grasp it, though.
00:26:07What's the matter, Tim? You don't seem to impress with my incident analysis.
00:26:10I told you, I want nothing to do with it.
00:26:11Yeah, but you know, we're really making progress...
00:26:13I don't want to hear about it!
00:26:15Okay.
00:26:17Okay, suit yourself.
00:26:19But you're missing out on some fascinating...
00:26:20Dave!
00:26:23You are now acting below the last level.
00:26:27What you are doing is dirty and despicable.
00:26:31But harmless, Timmo.
00:26:33Completely harmless.
00:26:41I'm sorry.
00:27:11Ann?
00:27:25Ann, I'm going to make some tea. Would you like some?
00:27:33Oh, my God.
00:27:41No.
00:27:47No.
00:27:49No!
00:28:12Come on.
00:28:28Say, that's pretty good for one horsepower.
00:28:30I know the shortcuts.
00:28:33Come on.
00:28:37Get on.
00:28:42Come on.
00:28:48You know, you ride like a dream.
00:28:50Maybe we could go out together sometime.
00:28:51You ride?
00:28:52Do I ride? Listen, I was practically born in the saddle.
00:28:55How about tomorrow? Can you rustle me up a mountain?
00:28:57Well, I don't know about rustle.
00:28:59They don't take too kindly to rustlers around here.
00:29:02Well, whatever. I'd like that.
00:29:04Yes. I'd like that, too.
00:29:09Why, hello, Helen.
00:29:10You nice and rested?
00:29:13Now, you hadn't forgotten. I said I'd come back again today.
00:29:16I have to bed my horse, Dan.
00:29:21Why don't you come down?
00:29:23We'll have a drink and talk some more, huh?
00:29:26Or would you rather I come up there?
00:29:28No.
00:29:34I'm just done.
00:29:35All right.
00:29:40Hello.
00:29:51You're not yourself today, Helen.
00:29:53You're very quiet.
00:29:57Heard something happen?
00:29:59Something you want to tell me?
00:30:01No, nothing happened.
00:30:04I slept this afternoon.
00:30:07And you dreamed.
00:30:08Is that it?
00:30:10I don't know if this was a dream.
00:30:13I'm not sure.
00:30:15Well, tell me about it.
00:30:17Let me figure it out.
00:30:21You don't want to tell me about it.
00:30:23Is that it?
00:30:25Not yet, anyway.
00:30:27Well, it's all right. It'll keep.
00:30:29We're making fine progress, you know that.
00:30:31Am I?
00:30:33How do I know?
00:30:35Well, because I'm telling you.
00:30:37And you believe me, don't you, Helen?
00:30:39Yes, I'm sorry.
00:30:41All right.
00:30:43Now then, how about the dream?
00:30:59Yes?
00:31:00Miss Curry?
00:31:01May I come in, please?
00:31:03I'm Sally Kirby.
00:31:05Paul's sister.
00:31:06Paul Kirby.
00:31:08I believe you and he were...
00:31:10No, that was Anne. He was Anne's friend.
00:31:12I'm afraid she isn't here at the moment.
00:31:14Can I help?
00:31:16Only if you can tell me where I can find him.
00:31:18I haven't seen or heard of Paul in four weeks, Miss Curry.
00:31:20I'm sure you can understand. I'm very worried.
00:31:22We haven't seen Paul either.
00:31:24Not even a letter or a call?
00:31:25No, nothing.
00:31:27Forgive me, but if it was your sister he was involved with,
00:31:29isn't there a chance she might...
00:31:30No, she would have told me.
00:31:32She shares everything with me.
00:31:34I'm sorry we can't help you.
00:31:36Paul and Anne weren't that close, you understand.
00:31:38They were just friends, nothing more.
00:31:40He gave no indication of where he was going?
00:31:42A job abroad?
00:31:43No. I told you, we can't help you.
00:31:45Anything I can do?
00:31:49I'm sort of an advisor to Miss Curry,
00:31:51so if there's anything at all I can do...
00:31:53No, it was just a forlorn hope.
00:31:55I shouldn't even have come here,
00:31:57but I phoned Mr. O'Hara and he didn't answer,
00:31:59so I thought I'd...
00:32:01But I suppose you've already been through it all with him.
00:32:03With who?
00:32:04Mr. O'Hara. He's the detective I've hired.
00:32:06He was supposed to come out here today.
00:32:08Hasn't he turned up yet?
00:32:10Well, Miss Curry's been here all afternoon.
00:32:12I'm sure if he had...
00:32:13No, nobody's called.
00:32:15Well, in that case, he's likely to turn up.
00:32:17I'm sorry you're being bothered like this,
00:32:19but I am very anxious about Paul.
00:32:21You've always been so very close, you see.
00:32:25Thanks, anyway.
00:32:27If Paul does turn up, will you...
00:32:28I'll get him to get in touch with you straight away.
00:32:35I'll tell you there's something creepy
00:32:37about that Curry girl.
00:32:39I just can't pin it down, but something creepy,
00:32:41you know what I mean?
00:32:44You can check if you like,
00:32:46but I don't think I've overlooked anything.
00:32:48That's right, Dave, I'm throwing you out.
00:32:51What you do is your business,
00:32:53but where you do it is mine,
00:32:55and I want you out.
00:32:57Come on, damn, you're crazy.
00:32:59No, I mean it, Dave, out.
00:33:01Hey, Dave.
00:33:03Hey, Tim.
00:33:06Tim, I've got a good thing going right now.
00:33:08I've got my stuff out of hock, I've got a car.
00:33:11I've paid you back everything, haven't I?
00:33:13Oh, great, fine.
00:33:15I'll just do it somewhere else, all right?
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:28If she phones here again, Dave,
00:33:29I intend telling her the truth.
00:33:35Don't worry, Tim.
00:33:37I'm almost through.
00:33:39Another week, that should be it,
00:33:41and I'll just move on.
00:33:43I mean, that's all I intended anyway.
00:33:45Mustn't push your luck too far.
00:33:48Huh, Tim?
00:33:54Moving in?
00:33:56Now, don't knock it.
00:33:57You're gonna get very preferential treatment.
00:33:59My partner's mining the store.
00:34:01Helen, it's the best possible thing.
00:34:03Are you sure it's right?
00:34:05Well, of course I'm sure.
00:34:07I'm the doctor, aren't I?
00:34:09I know what's best.
00:34:11You see, Helen, these next few days
00:34:13are absolutely crucial.
00:34:15I've got to be close to observe.
00:34:17Now, give it a few days,
00:34:19a week at the most,
00:34:21and I am certain that I can cure you once and for all.
00:34:23Now, as far as the expense,
00:34:25we'll discuss that later.
00:34:27Anyway, what's money compared with one's health, hmm?
00:34:32You do have a room for me, don't you, Helen?
00:34:35Of course we have.
00:34:37An empty room just along from mine.
00:34:39I think it's an excellent idea.
00:34:41Fine, fine, then it's settled.
00:34:52Good night, Helen.
00:34:55Make him go on.
00:34:57I don't want him here.
00:34:59Darling, it's for you.
00:35:01It's in your interests.
00:35:03Now, come on.
00:35:05Try and get some sleep.
00:35:07I want him to go.
00:35:09Why are you so frightened of him?
00:35:11I'm not frightened of him.
00:35:13Well, what then?
00:35:15Who?
00:35:20Good night, Helen.
00:35:24Good night.
00:35:27Good night.
00:35:49Ann.
00:35:51I'm just having a nightcap.
00:35:53Care to join me?
00:35:57Sure.
00:36:28Definitely the best part of the day, huh?
00:36:32How is she?
00:36:34Still awake.
00:36:36But I think she'll sleep.
00:36:40You were out riding today.
00:36:42You know I was.
00:36:44Yes.
00:36:46Did Helen mention any callers?
00:36:48Today a man named O'Hara, for instance?
00:36:51No.
00:36:52Why?
00:36:54I don't know.
00:36:55He was supposed to have come by today
00:36:57and Helen said she hadn't seen him.
00:37:01Definitely the best part of the day.
00:37:09You know, it certainly isn't hereditary.
00:37:11What do you mean?
00:37:13Well, your sister is a bit mixed up.
00:37:17But you, you're calm, you're normal.
00:37:19Normal?
00:37:20No, no.
00:37:21I wasn't suggesting that she should be.
00:37:22You know.
00:37:24But Ann, you must admit she is neurotic.
00:37:26Yes.
00:37:28She takes after Mother, I'm afraid.
00:37:30Oh.
00:37:32Mother was all right.
00:37:34She wasn't...
00:37:36I mean, she was just nervous.
00:37:38Anxious.
00:37:40And some of that anxiety
00:37:42rubbed off on the both of us.
00:37:45She so desperately wanted us to be married.
00:37:47Settled before she died.
00:37:50I might have made it, I suppose.
00:37:53I was 18.
00:37:57But Helen,
00:38:00she was still a child.
00:38:03If you're sensitive and receptive like Helen,
00:38:06you know, things like that can affect you.
00:38:12I don't know.
00:38:14I don't know.
00:38:16I've said it before.
00:38:20You don't have to worry about being left on the shelf.
00:38:21You don't have to worry about being left on the shelf.
00:38:52Good.
00:39:19Well, it has to be vampires.
00:39:21I just flung my hand out and caught it on the nightstand. That's more likely
00:39:26Listen, did you rustle me up an egg? What? I seem to recall we had a date to go riding today
00:39:31Well, I'll ask at the stables today and see what they say
00:39:37Good morning, Helen
00:39:38And it is a good morning, isn't it? And doctor's orders are that you should get out and enjoy it
00:39:43But first eat a good breakfast
00:39:46What are all the black clothes for did somebody die
00:39:51Yes
00:39:52You didn't remember
00:39:54Yes
00:39:56As a matter of fact, I did
00:39:58And you don't care
00:40:01Helen it is more than 14 years now. It's morbid
00:40:07You're not going then no, I'm not going I'm sorry
00:40:21What is going on and
00:40:25Today
00:40:28It's the anniversary of mother's death Helen's going out to the grave
00:40:36Don't you think as her doctor you ought to go. Oh, yes
00:40:42Yes, you're right. Thank you
00:40:44Yes, you're right, thank you
00:41:14I
00:41:44What happened she came in went straight up to a room now she won't even open the door won't talk to me
00:41:50What happened somebody's vandalized your mother's grave?
00:41:54What well somebody took an axe to it and just but who would do a thing like that?
00:41:59I don't know
00:42:02No wonder she was upset. I I would have been
00:42:06Have you reported it will they be able to do anything about it look ann
00:42:11I'm gonna go back into town. Just just leave her alone for a while. I'll be back later
00:42:21All right, I'm coming
00:42:26Mom son, I've got to talk to you Tim
00:42:28Now, what about?
00:42:30stealing old ladies wheelchairs
00:42:33And Dave I've told you and I'm all right. Okay. I'm a louse. I'm the lowest form of life and you hate me
00:42:40Just the same you're the only friend i've got in london
00:42:43the only real friend
00:42:46The cop's chasing you no
00:42:49The medical board no, I just want to talk to you tim. That's all
00:42:55All right, five minutes now just fine and then I have to get ready because I've got a date with susie
00:43:02Of course you remember susie your ex meal ticket
00:43:06Yes, well i'm taking her out to dinner tonight and i'm paying the bill. I may have gotten a little deeper
00:43:10than I thought
00:43:12What?
00:43:13Well as helen curry this lady could really be sick
00:43:16I shouldn't worry a qualified psychiatrist. Oh, come on tim. I'm serious
00:43:23There's just too many things out there that don't add up the hat
00:43:31The gravestone
00:43:33She might be dangerous
00:43:36I mean she could really be dangerous
00:43:39Yeah, nobody could be as dangerous as you dev
00:43:45Yeah, you're right
00:43:59I don't see any real need to worry. You think helen smashed up the grave, don't you?
00:44:04Maybe if she did she is very very sick
00:44:08Perhaps we should consult a hospital. No, that won't be necessary
00:44:12Now there's nothing about this case that I can't handle
00:44:16You believe that don't you?
00:44:18I want to
00:44:20no, what I had in mind is
00:44:23Is a short spell away a controlled environment
00:44:26I can fix it up for around the end of the week
00:44:28That's going to be very expensive and they'll want the sum in advance. I'm sorry. It doesn't matter
00:44:33As long as helen is well again
00:44:36Then there's no problem there's no problem at all
00:44:54Isn't it unusual for mr. O'hara to go off like this hasn't happened before which is always the first time
00:45:06Thanks anyway only way I could convince you he isn't here
00:45:15Hasn't he got any family
00:45:17No one I could phone mr. O'hara lives alone miss
00:45:20Nobody to care about him
00:45:23You're wrong
00:45:25I care about him
00:45:35So
00:45:55Oh
00:46:05So
00:46:16You know you ride better than you walk and you walk beautifully I almost started before I could walk
00:46:22That was father
00:46:24He rode to hounds championships
00:46:27Spent half his life in the saddle and the other half wishing he could be you know
00:46:30That's the first time you've ever mentioned your father
00:46:33You were his favorite one
00:46:36He was yours
00:46:38You preferred him to your mother
00:46:41That's unfair, but you did
00:46:44He was
00:46:45free
00:46:47No hang-ups
00:46:48What happened to him?
00:46:50He ran off with another woman
00:46:53It was inevitable
00:46:56He's dead now
00:46:59I thought you were here to observe. Helen shouldn't we?
00:47:05All doctors have their own methods and their own ethics
00:47:16Aren't you being terribly unethical?
00:47:28So
00:47:50Ah
00:47:58So
00:48:28So
00:48:48Double two one six. He's stopped reporting there. I'm, sorry need to talk to him. I thought he might have come back to his office
00:48:56Is he there?
00:48:58No, there is no dr. Porton here
00:49:01I have to speak to him. It's very important
00:49:05This is miss um, miss curry, isn't it?
00:49:08Yes. Um, well look miss curry. Um
00:49:10Anyway, I I'm glad you called it. Uh
00:49:13It really has been bothering me
00:49:15Look, I said there was no dr. Porton here and that is fact
00:49:20Miss curry, I hate to have to tell you this but
00:49:25Helen's jealous of you
00:49:27Well, she would be if she knew what does that mean?
00:49:30free consultation
00:49:32The very flip about a patient you're supposed to be treating and treating
00:49:36I take it seriously
00:49:39But everybody's got in line sometime
00:49:42Sometime you sound like my father. He would have said something like that
00:49:50We ought to be getting back
00:49:55So
00:50:25So
00:50:55You want me to give you a hand bedding the horses down? No, thanks. I enjoy it
00:51:00Well, I wouldn't want to deprive you of any of your joy
00:51:03My aim is to provide
00:51:26What's wrong
00:51:28And do you have any idea who this hat belongs to
00:51:33It says jay o'hara on the band and that's who it belongs to but how did it get here
00:51:38I should have thought that was obvious
00:51:41Mr. J. O'hara brought it here on his head
00:51:56Oh
00:51:58Hello helen
00:51:59You're nice and rested

01:00:58Anne
01:01:00No, she hasn't seen him either. I'd like her to tell me that
01:01:04No

01:01:08I won't help her but you might know something
01:01:11What the hell promised her my mother

01:01:23Anne doesn't know she never told him
01:01:26I was her favorite you see
01:01:29Even though you're the youngest you must promise me to take care of an to look after her. She made me promise
01:01:37Mommy
01:01:40You've no right to be here. I rang the bell several times
01:01:45I was out walking
01:01:47Yes, that's where I was walking
01:01:50Round and round the garden to make sure it's all neat
01:01:54I take care of everything you see
01:01:56inside outside
01:02:00See how it shines I take such good good care of everything
01:02:06I
01:02:08Please go now. I still haven't seen your sister. I told you
01:02:12Well, if you won't speak to me, she'll have to talk to the police police
01:02:15Yes, I intend calling them about ohara and paul. I can't let you do that. I can't I can't
01:02:22I'm, sorry, please
01:02:28You'd better talk to her then
01:02:31She's in the cellar
01:02:34Through there, all right
01:02:49No
01:02:51Let's go no
01:02:57Miss carla, you don't know me. I i'm a friend of dave's or at least I was
01:03:01I
01:03:03Anyway, look i'm afraid i've let everyone down rather badly and I i'd like to explain that is he still here
01:03:12Miss curry
01:03:21Miss curry, maybe you don't know him as dave. He was posing as a doctor a dr. Porter
01:03:31Oh
01:03:53I'll look after her. I promise I promise
01:04:01Alabama
01:04:21As I see it this all started with the mother
01:04:25She was obviously unstable
01:04:28And equally obviously she recognized this instability in her daughters
01:04:32particularly anne
01:04:34Which is why she extracted this promise from helen
01:04:38to take care of her sister
01:04:41well
01:04:42Helen kept that promise and went far beyond it
01:04:46When anne murdered paul kirby
01:04:48Murdered him because he was walking out on her just as her father had done on her mother when anne was a child
01:04:54Helen not only concealed the body
01:04:57She also assumed her sister's guilt
01:05:00She took the burden of murder from anne's shoulders and placed it squarely on her own
01:05:05She did this so utterly and completely that she actually made herself believe she had murdered paul kirby
01:05:13But her mind couldn't take it and that's when the dreams started
01:05:18Then anne murdered o'hara
01:05:21And the collapse began
01:05:24Crazy
01:05:28And what's going to happen to them
01:05:30well
01:05:31I think given time helen can become a normal healthy girl again
01:05:36but anne
01:05:49And what about him
01:05:51We counted nearly 200 knife wounds on him wounds which hardly broke the skin
01:05:57But they broke him
01:05:59His courage his psyche his mind
01:06:03In my opinion he's going to be in psychiatric care for a long long time
01:06:21So
01:06:51So
01:07:11You
