John and Pam have bought a terrace house in a village, and move into it with their little son. In the middle of the night Pam notices that a man is peeping at them from the pavement outside. When he reemerges on the same spot in daytime, she starts becoming nervous. When she later bumps into the same man in the local supermarket, she gets terrified. She tells her husband that when she was 14 years old and lived in an orphanage, a 25 year old man courted her, gave her lots of presents and finally wanted to marry her. She tried to avoid him, he raped her, and it all ended with him being imprisoned. She is sure that he now has come back. Step by step the foreigner escalates his terror against the couple, ending in an attempt to murder John. By sheer luck John is saved, while a colleague happens to be killed instead of him. As a final stroke the stranger tries to capture Pam in her home at night and kidnap her. When John and Pam try to call for help, they find out that their telephone line is cut off, and their car tires punctured. They can just sit in the darkness and wait for the stranger to arrive.

00:01:59Thank you, Fred.
00:02:01I'm glad you could come today.
00:02:02That mysterious coming up a treat.
00:02:04Can I help you get, Fred?
00:02:06Mr. Finch told me.
00:02:07That's all right, ma'am.
00:02:09Look, you get some old clothes on.
00:02:10I could use an extra hand.
00:02:13If he's a bother, send him in again.
00:02:15Oh, that's all right, ma'am.
00:02:16He won't be no bother.
00:02:17♪
00:02:24Oh, can I show you what I've done on the terrace, sir?
00:02:27Oh, sure, Fred.
00:02:28You getting any help from the weather?
00:02:30Oh, plenty, sir.
00:02:31♪
00:02:36See, I put these plants in the trellis, sir,
00:02:38until the ivy grows up.
00:02:39Yeah, it looks fine, Fred.
00:02:41Oh, a man called to see you while he was out, sir.
00:02:43He didn't give his name.
00:02:45Did he tell him I'd be back soon?
00:02:46Well, he wanted to see you, sir.
00:02:47It was a missus.
00:02:50Well, this is going to be fine.
00:02:51Oh, and don't forget Mrs. Allen's herb garden.
00:02:53Oh, that'll be all right, sir.
00:02:55♪
00:03:05John?
00:03:06Yeah?
00:03:07Why don't you go and phone up Bob and Dorothy?
00:03:09Ask them over to dinner.
00:03:10They haven't been out here yet.
00:03:12All right, I'll call them.
00:03:13Oh, don't sound so enthusiastic.
00:03:15♪
00:03:18What's the matter with you today?
00:03:20You're very unresponsive.
00:03:22Unresponsive, huh?
00:03:24Hey, that's enough.
00:03:25Go and phone them and ask them over,
00:03:27even if it's only to protect me.
00:03:29All right.
00:03:31Take these upstairs.
00:03:32♪
00:03:36Well, there certainly is some place, John.
00:03:38It makes our apartment seem claustrophobic.
00:03:40Well, there's still a lot to do.
00:03:41Later on we're going to put in a playroom for the children.
00:03:43Children?
00:03:44Oh, don't jump to any conclusions.
00:03:46No, it's just that John thinks an only child tends to get spoiled.
00:03:49That's wonderful.
00:03:50When are you working?
00:03:51Oh, later, later.
00:03:52You mean when John gets his new job.
00:03:53What new job?
00:03:55You mean you haven't told her?
00:03:57Bob, you know nothing's been settled yet.
00:03:59It's only a formality.
00:04:00The art director's retiring.
00:04:01Has a week off.
00:04:02And John's getting the job.
00:04:04Oh, I'm only on the short list.
00:04:05Nonsense.
00:04:06He'll get it.
00:04:07Oh, how marvelous.
00:04:08Why didn't you tell me?
00:04:10I am nothing certain yet.
00:04:11Well, we'll drink to good luck then.
00:04:13Cheers.
00:04:14♪
00:04:25Isn't it a bit quiet out here?
00:04:27Well, we don't find it so.
00:04:29And Tommy's at a very good school now.
00:04:31We're near to the shops.
00:04:32And our neighbors are very nice.
00:04:33Well, we met one of them.
00:04:34What was his name, darling?
00:04:36I don't think he told us.
00:04:37We weren't sure which turning off led to the house.
00:04:39So we asked.
00:04:40What did he look like?
00:04:41Small man.
00:04:42Moustache.
00:04:43And a little room on top.
00:04:45For his hair.
00:04:47I can't think of who that could be.
00:04:48Can you, Pam?
00:04:49No.
00:04:50Where did you say you met him?
00:04:51At the bottom of the hill.
00:04:52Before you turn onto the main road.
00:04:53I didn't like him.
00:04:54Something about the way he looked at me.
00:04:56Anyway, he knew where you lived.
00:04:58That's what I mean about the place.
00:04:59Everybody's so friendly.
00:05:02Tired, honey?
00:05:04A bit.
00:05:05Good night's sleep and you'll feel fine.
00:05:08Is Mrs. Rainer coming in the morning?
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:11Cup of tea as soon as she comes through the door.
00:05:31You still thinking about that art director's job?
00:05:33Mm-hmm.
00:05:38I know it means a lot to you.
00:05:40But don't bring it to bed with you.
00:05:44I'm sorry, honey.
00:05:45You're right.
00:06:02John?
00:06:04Shut the window.
00:06:09John?
00:06:14John?

00:09:02DOOR KNOCKS
00:09:20Oh, good morning, Mrs. Annam.
00:09:22Morning, Mrs. Rainer.
00:09:23Want me to start with the bedroom today?
00:09:25Yes, please.
00:09:26Won't this start to be another fine day?
00:09:27Yes.
00:09:28Oh, I've got to go into the village this morning.
00:09:30Now, you take my tip, dearie, and have a cup of tea.
00:09:32It'll do you a pair of good.
00:09:34Well, the kettle's already on.
00:09:36Oh, by the way,
00:09:38did you notice anybody hanging around when you came in?
00:09:40No. You expecting someone?
00:09:42No, I... I just wondered.
00:09:45Oh, pour my tea out. I'll be down in a minute.
00:09:47Right.
00:09:50MUSIC PLAYS
00:09:58There we are.
00:10:00Fifty cigarettes, the matches,
00:10:02and an ounce of Mr. Allen's favourite tobacco.
00:10:04Thank you very much.
00:10:06Did you go to the concert yesterday, Mrs. Allen?
00:10:08No, no, we didn't.
00:10:10We had a quiet day at home. We had a couple of friends over.
00:10:12Oh, I'll need some stamps.
00:10:14That's the way to spend a nice day like yesterday, you know.
00:10:16Just sitting in the sunshine, relaxing.
00:10:19Oh, fine, I'll take the book.
00:10:21Did your friend find the house all right?
00:10:23He came in yesterday.
00:10:25Said he'd mislaid the address.
00:10:27Hadn't been to the house before.
00:10:29I gave him very careful directions.
00:10:31I'm always very careful about that sort of thing.
00:10:33I did a little diagram for him.
00:10:35Will there be anything else, Mrs. Allen?
00:10:37Oh, no, no, no, thank you.
00:10:39And put it on the account.
00:10:41What did he look like?
00:10:43Smallish. A little moustache.
00:10:46Rather thin on top, you know.
00:10:50Thank you very much.
00:11:15Ding!
00:11:45Ding!
00:12:16So, of course, this market is a very large and profitable one.
00:12:18And we must expect keen competition.
00:12:20I don't have to tell you, gentlemen,
00:12:22that Meachams welcomes competition.
00:12:24There's nothing like a challenge to keep us on our toes.
00:12:26But I should like to stress
00:12:28how important this account can be to us.
00:12:30The advertisers, the readers,

00:12:42the readers, the readers,
00:12:44The advertising appropriation,
00:12:46and this is strictly confidential,
00:12:48is over six figures.
00:12:50And it will be up to us
00:12:52to spend the money wisely and constructively
00:12:54so as to bring a new approach to...
00:12:56BELL RINGS
00:12:59BELL RINGS
00:13:01And so bring a new approach to advertising...
00:13:03BELL RINGS
00:13:05Miss Prentice,
00:13:07I thought we were not to be disturbed.
00:13:09I gave the switchboard explicit instructions, Mr. Meachams.
00:13:11Well, answer it, please,
00:13:13and repeat the instructions.
00:13:15Yes, Mr. Meachams.
00:13:17BELL RINGS
00:13:21BELL RINGS
00:13:23A meeting is on at present.
00:13:25This line should be closed.
00:13:27But that's impossible.
00:13:29Mr. Allen is in conference.
00:13:32Well, I'll try.
00:13:34Your wife is on the phone, Mr. Allen.
00:13:36Switchboard has told you you can't be disturbed,
00:13:38but apparently she insists on speaking to you.
00:13:41Now, you'd better take it.
00:13:44Excuse me.
00:13:48Thanks.
00:13:50Hello?
00:13:52Oh, this is Allen. Would you put my wife through?
00:13:54Thanks.
00:13:56Hello, Pam?
00:13:58What's wrong?
00:14:01I can't. I'm... I'm in conference.
00:14:04Can't you tell me over...
00:14:07I don't know. I'll be tied up for another hour or more.
00:14:12All right, hold on.
00:14:15It's my wife, sir. I'm afraid something's gone wrong at the house.
00:14:18Can't it possibly wait?
00:14:20I'm afraid not, sir. She sounds pretty upset.
00:14:22I'm afraid it's rather serious.
00:14:24Then we'll just have to continue without you.
00:14:26Thank you, sir.
00:14:27Pam?
00:14:29I'll be right home.
00:14:32No, no, I'll take a taxi from the station.
00:14:35Goodbye.
00:14:38I'm very sorry about this, Mr. Meacham.
00:14:40Oh, well, if it's so important.
00:14:46Oh, Allen, don't worry.
00:14:49Wayne will go over everything with you later.
00:14:51Thank you, sir.
00:14:54Now, gentlemen...
00:14:56Honestly, Pam, I haven't been able to make sense out of anything you've said so far.
00:14:59Please, John.
00:15:01Here, drink it.
00:15:03All of it.
00:15:06Now, go on.
00:15:08Well, you know I was raised in an orphanage.
00:15:11Well, of course, I know all about it.
00:15:13But I'm not interested in that anymore.
00:15:15We're happy and married.
00:15:17But you must be interested.
00:15:19I'm trying to tell you about a man.
00:15:21He worked at the orphanage.
00:15:23He did odd jobs.
00:15:25Drove the matron's car.
00:15:27He was about 25 then.
00:15:30I was 14.
00:15:32His name was Homer Trent.
00:15:34So?
00:15:36Well...
00:15:39He took a fancy to me and said that he wanted to marry me.
00:15:44When you were 14?
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48I knew about it.
00:15:50I thought it was wonderful.
00:15:52He used to buy me presents.
00:15:54Little things.
00:15:56Sweets and books.
00:15:59One day, he gave me a charm bracelet.
00:16:02I was delighted.
00:16:04I used to go on errands for the matron.
00:16:07But he'd always manage to catch up with me in the car
00:16:10and drive me to where I was going.
00:16:12One day, in the car, he...
00:16:16grabbed hold of me and...
00:16:19made love to me.
00:16:21When you were 14?
00:16:24Didn't you know that?
00:16:26When you were 14?
00:16:28Didn't you tell the matron?
00:16:30No, I didn't really understand what had happened.
00:16:34Anyway, the matron liked Homer and...
00:16:37I believed at the time she might make me marry him.
00:16:42Well, a week before my 15th birthday...
00:16:54Wish I were going with you next week.
00:16:56Oh, don't worry.
00:16:58Only another couple of months and you'll be on your own.
00:17:00You know yet where you're going to work?
00:17:02Yes, matron told me today.
00:17:04She's got me a job as an office girl in an advertising firm.
00:17:06Wonderful.
00:17:07Time for bed.
00:17:09Come, come. No dawdling. Everyone upstairs.
00:17:15Come on.
00:17:40What do you want to do, wake the whole place up?
00:17:42Get out!
00:17:44We've got half an hour before matron makes her round.
00:17:47Leave me alone!
00:17:48What's going on in here?
00:17:50Well, you see, matron, Pamela and me are going to get married.
00:17:53Married? How long has this been going on?
00:17:56Well, we liked each other for well over a year now.
00:17:59It's not true!
00:18:00What's not true?
00:18:02We're not going to get married.
00:18:03We don't like each other. I don't like him.
00:18:05Is that your test of not liking someone?
00:18:07To have him in your room in a compromising situation?
00:18:09But he forced his way in here.
00:18:11She's having her little joke, matron.
00:18:13When did you tell matron the truth, Pamela?
00:18:15How you've been taking rides with me in a car.
00:18:17How I gave you a present.
00:18:18That bracelet you're wearing.
00:18:20Isn't that the bracelet you told me you received from your aunt?
00:18:23But this is all wrong. Please let me explain.
00:18:25Indeed you will. This needs quite an explanation.
00:18:28But he forced his way...
00:18:32Then there was the trial.
00:18:34All the terrible publicity.
00:18:38The way people looked at me and...
00:18:41He was sent to jail.
00:18:43I thought I'd never see him again.
00:18:45I forced myself to forget about him and...
00:18:49Then there was you and Tommy and...
00:18:53Everything was so right.
00:18:57Then they had the divorce.
00:18:59Pam, don't.
00:19:07Are you sure it's the same man?
00:19:09I mean, it was so long ago.
00:19:10Yes, I'd know him anywhere.
00:19:15If it is, couldn't he just happen to be here in Millingham?
00:19:18He didn't have one anywhere.
00:19:20He came here looking for me.
00:19:22Mr. Kelly at the post office said there'd been a strange man asking for me.
00:19:26Asking for where I lived.
00:19:28He said he was an old friend of mine.
00:19:32You may be right, Pam.
00:19:34Fred told me there was a man here looking for you.
00:19:36And this morning, he was standing there watching me.
00:19:39Oh, John, what are we going to do?
00:19:44I'm not sure.
00:19:46Go to the police, of course.
00:19:48Oh, do we have to?
00:19:50I couldn't bear to go through all that again.
00:19:53I'll go to the superintendent tomorrow.
00:19:55I won't give him all the details.
00:19:57I'll just tell him that this man is annoying us.
00:20:02John, I'm sorry I phoned you.
00:20:06I just had to.
00:20:08I'm glad you did, darling.
00:20:10But what about Meacham?
00:20:12Now get it through your pretty little head.
00:20:14You mean more to me than Mr. Meacham or any job.
00:20:18Please.
00:20:36What time is it?
00:20:46What time is it?
00:20:56After one.

00:22:18Honey, let it ring.
00:22:21Go back to sleep.
00:22:34Pam, I'll drop Tommy off at school today.
00:22:37You call the office and tell them I'll be a little late.
00:22:42Now look what you've done.
00:22:43I've told you to be careful at the table.
00:22:45Pam.
00:22:47I'm sorry.
00:22:50I'll see what the police have to say this morning.
00:22:52Daddy, police?
00:23:04DOOR OPENS
00:23:16Look, Mr. Allen.
00:23:17You got no proof that it was this man, Trent, who called you last night?
00:23:20I'm sure it was.
00:23:21There was somebody there. I could tell.
00:23:23He didn't answer, but it must have been him.
00:23:25You tell your wife this?
00:23:27No, but she guessed it.
00:23:29What can you do about this, Superintendent?
00:23:30At the moment, all I can promise is to have it checked.
00:23:32Then you'll see him?
00:23:33I'll try to locate him.
00:23:35I know all this must sound ridiculous to you,
00:23:37but my wife's almost at the point of hysteria.
00:23:39We've had this sort of experience before, you know.
00:23:41Women imagine many things.
00:23:43They don't imagine that some stranger is following them.
00:23:45All right, we'll have it checked.
00:23:47Anything else you can tell me?
00:23:49Well, only that...
00:23:51No.
00:23:52Okay, Mr. Allen. Drop by on your way home this evening.
00:23:55I may have some news for you then.
00:23:57Thank you, Superintendent.
00:24:00Sergeant.
00:24:02What was all that about?
00:24:04His wife imagines someone's following her.
00:24:08Find out where a Homer Trent lives.
00:24:10Yes, sir.
00:24:12Where do I begin?
00:24:13Oh, don't ask me.
00:24:15Ask a policeman.
00:24:29Come on.

00:25:26Hello?
00:25:27Oh, hello, Dorothy. It's Pearl.
00:25:29Dorothy, are you doing anything today?
00:25:32No, I wondered if you'd like to come over.
00:25:35No, no, right away.
00:25:39No, no, there's nothing wrong.
00:25:41I'm just a bit lonely.
00:25:43I'd like to see you.
00:25:46Oh, good.
00:25:48Yes, we could have some lunch.
00:25:51Yes, all right then.
00:25:53Bye-bye.
00:25:58DOORBELL RINGS
00:26:08John?
00:26:09Hi, Bob.
00:26:11John, did you pass this layout this morning?
00:26:15Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did.
00:26:17With this headline intact, you knew it was to be changed to fit the new policy.
00:26:21Did this get to Meacham?
00:26:23Luckily, I spotted it in time. He'd have blown his top.
00:26:25Well, I wouldn't have blamed him.
00:26:27I'll put a blue pencil through that right away.
00:26:29Okay.
00:26:31But watch it, John.
00:26:33Yeah.
00:26:35You look tired.
00:26:36Things okay with you and Pam?
00:26:38Yeah, fine.
00:26:40What was it all about yesterday?
00:26:42Well, it's kind of personal, Bob, but it's all straightened away now.
00:26:46Good, but take it easy, won't you?
00:26:48The art directorship's still vacant.
00:26:50The next few days could be crucial for you.
00:26:55DOORBELL RINGS
00:27:12Who is it?
00:27:13Police! Open up!
00:27:16Come in.
00:27:21I'm Superintendent Whittaker.
00:27:24Are you Homer Trent?
00:27:26That's right.
00:27:27I'd like to ask you a few questions, Trent.
00:27:30What do you want, Superintendent?
00:27:32Do you know Pamela Allen?
00:27:34You'd have known her as Pamela Wilson before she was married.
00:27:37No, I don't think so.
00:27:39She's living here now.
00:27:41So?
00:27:42You knew that?
00:27:43Why should I?
00:27:44She's here in Mellingham, living with her husband and child.
00:27:47I should cheer or something?
00:27:49What are you doing in Mellingham, Trent?
00:27:51Are you against it?
00:27:52Answer my question!
00:27:58Thinking about buying a bit of land.
00:28:00Settling.
00:28:01In Mellingham?
00:28:02If I can find the right place.
00:28:05Why Mellingham?
00:28:06Why not?
00:28:07Mrs. Allen has made several allegations against you.
00:28:11What do you mean?
00:28:12She says you've been annoying her, calling her up at all hours, then not speaking.
00:28:16If no-one spoke, how does she know it was me?
00:28:18You deny the allegations?
00:28:19Of course I do.
00:28:20Have you been near the Allens' house?
00:28:21How could I? I don't even know where it is.
00:28:23A friend of Mr. Allens' says he saw a man answering your description out there on Saturday.
00:28:27Saturday?
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29Where is this place, anyway?
00:28:30It's a new housing estate, just past the station.
00:28:33Oh, maybe that explains it. I was out that way on Saturday.
00:28:37Looking at this property.
00:28:44Satisfied?
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:48Superintendent, I don't like being picked on by some woman who loses her head.
00:28:53Very well.
00:28:55Goodbye, Mr. Trent.
00:28:56Goodbye, Mr. Superintendent.
00:29:08Mr. Allen, sir?
00:29:09No.
00:29:11Good evening, Mr. Allen.
00:29:12Good evening, Superintendent.
00:29:13Sit down.
00:29:15Well, I've had this man checked.
00:29:17He's staying at a lodging house the other side of town.
00:29:20What are you going to do about it?
00:29:22Mr. Allen, you understand I'm in a difficult position.
00:29:24Trent has done nothing wrong.
00:29:26What about those phone calls last night?
00:29:29Well, doesn't that constitute at least a public nuisance?
00:29:32Can you prove he made them?
00:29:34No.
00:29:36You've given me nothing concrete to go on, except for your wife's imaginings.
00:29:41Pam's imagined nothing. The man's been out to the house. He's been watching her.
00:29:44That's not sufficient evidence.
00:29:46Bring me conclusive proof and I can take action.
00:29:49Otherwise, my hands are tied.
00:29:51What's he doing in Mellingham?
00:29:53He says he's going to settle here, trying to buy some land.
00:29:56He can't do that.
00:29:57I'm sorry, Mr. Allen. He can.
00:30:01Now, I suggest that you forget all about this matter.
00:30:05Trent being here could be coincident, you know.
00:30:09The phone calls last night could be someone else or just wrong number.
00:30:15All right, Superintendent.
00:30:23Pam, there's nothing the police can do unless we tell them about the orphanage.
00:30:26You can't do that. Think what he could do to Tony.
00:30:30It makes me feel so helpless.
00:30:33What do you think he means to do?
00:30:35I don't know.
00:30:37He's just trying to make us edgy, nervous.
00:30:40Well, it won't work.
00:30:42It won't if we don't let it.
00:30:44I wish I could believe that.
00:30:48Forget about it, huh?
00:30:50Why don't we go to a show tomorrow? You know, get out and have some fun.
00:30:53Mrs. Rainer can look after it.
00:31:12How's it going?
00:31:14Oh, another hour, I ought to be through.
00:31:16Better be. The old man wants it by four. It's just three now.
00:31:19Don't worry. He'll have it on time.
00:31:29I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.
00:31:31I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.
00:31:33I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.
00:31:35I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.
00:31:37I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.
00:31:39I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.
00:31:41I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.
00:32:08Hello?
00:32:10Yes?
00:32:14Hello, Mr. Somerset. What can I do for you?
00:32:21There must be some mistake.
00:32:23He left here this morning. My husband took him.
00:32:36Mr. Somerset, there must be some mistake.
00:32:39I'll call my husband right away.
00:32:53Hello?
00:32:55Oh, hello, Pam.
00:32:58Sure, I dropped him at the school. Why?
00:33:02What?
00:33:05Now, look, darling, don't get panicky.
00:33:07Call the police. I'm coming home right now.
00:33:10Hold it.
00:33:16John, I need to talk to you.
00:33:18Where's Mr. Allen?
00:33:20He's gone, sir. In a big hurry, too.
00:33:22Almost knocked me over.
00:33:24Gone?
00:33:39Pam!
00:33:52Please take it.
00:34:03Well, Superintendent, is it all imagination now?
00:34:06Mr. Allen, we're doing all we can.
00:34:07All you can.
00:34:09That man has our son.
00:34:11I've been looking for Trent.
00:34:17Tommy! Tommy!
00:34:19Oh, my boy!
00:34:21Well, you weren't there to meet him, Mrs. Allen.
00:34:23So I thought I'd bring him home
00:34:25and have a word with you about school picnic on Friday.
00:34:29Where's Tommy been, Mr. Somerset?
00:34:31Dean? At school, of course.
00:34:34Did you call my wife today?
00:34:35I call your wife?
00:34:37Certainly not.
00:34:39I don't understand what's happening here.
00:34:41Well, I do.
00:34:43It's Trent. He's doing it, trying to...
00:34:45Tommy, you run upstairs and take your things off.
00:34:48What are you going to do about it, Superintendent?
00:34:51Was there anyone else with you when you received the call?
00:34:58Then your story is completely unsupported.
00:35:01Unsupported?
00:35:03You think my wife engineered all this?
00:35:05I'm merely stating the facts.
00:35:07You're dealing with people's emotions, Superintendent, not facts.
00:35:09Don't you see your wife's story is uncorroborated?
00:35:11We'll pick Trent up, of course.
00:35:13But if he denies this...
00:35:15You better pick him up.
00:35:17Because if I get near him, I'll kill him.
00:35:19I forget you said that, Mr. Allen.
00:35:21The threat of violence is a criminal offense.
00:35:23What do you think he's doing to us?
00:35:25We'll question him.
00:35:27But it'll be difficult to prove he was involved in this.
00:35:29I'll drop by and let you know what happens.
00:35:31You better pick him up before something does happen.
00:35:33Very well, Mr. Allen.
00:35:35Thank you, Mr. Allen.
00:35:40I'll call on you some other time, Mrs. Allen.
00:35:42Goodbye, Mr. Allen.
00:35:46Johnny could have taken him.
00:35:50What happens if he does?
00:35:56I just don't understand it.
00:35:58Alan knew perfectly well that this was to be ready for the conference tomorrow.
00:36:02I was to have had it complete by tonight.
00:36:04I'm sure there's some explanation.
00:36:06Walking out at a time like this.
00:36:08Should I call him, sir?
00:36:10I don't see how it can help us now.
00:36:12I was depending on this layout being ready.
00:36:14I can't deliver it to our client in that unfinished condition.
00:36:18Maybe if I took it to Alan at his home, sir.
00:36:20It is not my policy to deliver work to my employees at their homes.
00:36:24No, I shall just have to admit to our client that we're not ready.
00:36:27And you know how I hate an admittance of that kind.
00:36:30Yes, sir. But I'm certain John can explain.
00:36:31Yes, well, your defense of your friend is very predictable, but it won't help Alan.
00:36:37He's fallen down on the job.
00:36:39Something's wrong, sir. That is with John.
00:36:41He has some domestic problem.
00:36:44I demand loyalty to the company.
00:36:46And Alan's irresponsibility is unforgivable.
00:36:49I suppose in some ways it solves quite a few problems.
00:36:53The art directorship, for one.
00:36:55Of course, it rules him out completely.
00:36:58I was a fool to consider it.
00:36:59You know, Wayne, I think you might line up for the job very well.
00:37:04Me, sir? But...
00:37:06Yes, you're hardworking, you're intelligent,
00:37:09and you have a strong sense of responsibility.
00:37:12You're going to be our new art director.
00:37:14Thank you, sir.
00:37:16I'll try to measure up to it.
00:37:18I'm sure you will.
00:37:20Congratulations.
00:37:22Thank you, sir.
00:37:45I'm not going to take this any longer.
00:37:47What are you going to do?
00:37:49I'm going to find Trent myself.
00:37:51You can't do that.
00:37:53It's the only way.
00:37:55But that gun's no answer.
00:37:57Isn't it?
00:37:59He's going to shoot you, and nobody's going to blame him.
00:38:04All right.
00:38:06But when he comes here, I'll be ready for him.
00:38:08No, John.
00:38:10I have a right to protect what's mine.
00:38:13He's winning.
00:38:15As soon as we revert to his tactics, he's won.
00:38:19Pam, I have to. Don't you understand?
00:38:22Hello.
00:38:25Oh, hiya, Bob.
00:38:28No, I thought it was someone else.
00:38:32Look, I'm sorry about today.
00:38:34I had to get home.
00:38:36Pam thought that...
00:38:38What?
00:38:42Oh, I see.
00:38:45I don't know.
00:38:47Why should you feel bad about it?
00:38:49No, why should you feel bad about it?
00:38:51It's no more than you deserve.
00:38:54No, of course not, Bob.
00:38:56I'd rather have heard it from you.
00:38:58Sure, I'll...
00:39:00No, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:39:04What is it?
00:39:06They've made Bob art director.
00:39:09Oh, no.
00:39:15Trent is winning.
00:39:19Oh, yes.
00:39:42Good morning, Bob.
00:39:44Congratulations.
00:39:46Save it, I feel like a heel.
00:39:48More important than your career?
00:39:50More important than my career.
00:39:53It's like that, huh?
00:39:57John, is there anything I can do?
00:40:00No, Bob, thanks.
00:40:01It'll work out all right.
00:40:03That's the way you want it.
00:40:35Who are you?
00:40:36Mrs. Allen?
00:40:37Yes.
00:40:38My deepest sympathy, madam.
00:40:41My name is Cranston, Phidias Cranston,
00:40:45at your service most humbly, ma'am.
00:40:49Could I see the gentleman?
00:40:52What is all this?
00:40:54Why, obviously, madam, a wreath.
00:40:57But what's it all about?
00:40:59But, uh, I was phoned to come here
00:41:01to discuss funeral arrangements.
00:41:04For who?
00:41:06For your husband, madam, Mr. John Allen.
00:41:10I understand that he has passed away.
00:41:15Yours sincerely, John Allen.
00:41:17How many copies do you want?
00:41:19Better make four copies.
00:41:20No, make five.
00:41:21Mr. Wayne should have one.
00:41:22Yes, Mr. Allen.
00:41:23Five copies.
00:41:24Yes, sir.
00:41:25Oh, and when you finish that, come back.
00:41:26I have some more dictation to do.
00:41:27Yes, sir.
00:41:28Get me those Canadian estimates, will you?
00:41:30Right.
00:41:31Oh, hiya, Pam.
00:41:34Everything all right?
00:41:36Just I wanted to speak to you, that was all.
00:41:38I mean, nothing else has happened.
00:41:40Everything's fine.
00:41:42I'm sorry I bothered you.
00:41:44It gives me a chance to relax for a little.
00:41:47Why don't you and Tommy have dinner?
00:41:48I'll try not to be too late.
00:41:50Oh, yes, all right, I'll do that then.
00:41:53All right.
00:41:54No, really, John, everything's fine.
00:41:56OK.
00:41:57I'll see you later.
00:41:59Really, John, everything's fine.
00:42:01OK, darling, fine.
00:42:02Bye.
00:42:03Bye-bye.
00:42:06So you see, Mr. Cranston, my husband is perfectly well.
00:42:08You've been misinformed.
00:42:10Well, I don't understand, madam.
00:42:12The man who called was quite emphatic.
00:42:14Mr. Allen has passed away, he said.
00:42:16I took the call myself.
00:42:18Yes, well, there's been some mistake.
00:42:19Quite so, quite so.
00:42:21Nothing like this has ever happened before.
00:42:24Well, would you mind removing that thing
00:42:26before my son gets home from school?
00:42:27Yes, madam, yes, of course.
00:42:29I really am most dreadfully sorry.
00:42:31A terrible mistake.
00:42:33Terrible mistake.
00:42:35Oh, dear.
00:42:41Bang!
00:42:43Come on, now.
00:42:44You shoot yourself right into that bed.
00:42:46Poof!
00:42:47Whey!
00:42:48Bang!
00:42:49Off you go.
00:42:50Take your slips off.
00:42:54There, sit.
00:42:55In you get.
00:42:58Right.
00:43:03There.
00:43:05Comfy?
00:43:06Mm.
00:43:07You want me to tell you a story?
00:43:08Yes.
00:43:09All right.
00:43:10Once upon a time,
00:43:11there was a little boy called...
00:43:13Tommy.
00:43:14That's it.
00:43:15And it was Tommy's birthday,
00:43:17and he decided he'd give a party.
00:43:19So he went to the village,
00:43:20and he asked all his friends in the village,
00:43:22and he went into the woods,
00:43:23and he asked all the animals in the woods
00:43:25to come to tea next day.
00:43:28So then he ran all the way home,
00:43:30and he baked a big cake.
00:43:32Next day, he opened the door
00:43:34and let in all his friends,
00:43:36and then he ran over and started to cut the cake.
00:43:39Just as he was cutting the cake,
00:43:41there was a knock at the door.
00:43:43He went over to the door.
00:43:45There was a strange man there.
00:43:49He said,
00:43:50Who are you?
00:43:52And the man said,
00:43:54I told you I'd always find you.
00:44:24¶¶
00:44:55Going up?
00:45:03Oh, this is the sixth floor, sir.
00:45:05Where do you want to go?
00:45:07Down.
00:45:08Down.
00:45:14Fifth.
00:45:15Going down.
00:45:17No, I think if we shut the door,
00:45:19we'll never get out.
00:45:21Going down.
00:45:23No, I think if we shift the headline an inch or two,
00:45:25we might just lift the whole ad.
00:45:27I'm not sure I agree, John.
00:45:29Second, please.
00:45:30Wait a day or two, think about it.
00:45:33Wait for what?
00:45:34Till we both get some better ideas.
00:45:36Don't think either one of us is on the ball.
00:45:38If we get a break,
00:45:39I suppose we step out for a quick drink.
00:45:40How about it?
00:45:41Second floor.
00:45:42You may be right.
00:45:52Still hard at it?
00:45:54Yeah, I have a lot to catch up on.
00:45:56It's past seven.
00:45:58Well, then you've missed your train.
00:46:00Had to come back for some papers.
00:46:02I'll get the next one.
00:46:04John, we never did get that drink this afternoon.
00:46:06Got tired of buying you a quick one.
00:46:08Oh, thanks, Bob.
00:46:09I want to finish this and get home.
00:46:10Okay, see you tomorrow.
00:46:12Right, good night.
00:46:13Don't work too hard.
00:46:21Help!
00:46:22Help!
00:46:23Help!
00:46:51Help!
00:46:52Help!
00:46:53Help!
00:46:54Help!
00:46:55Help!
00:46:56Help!
00:46:57Help!
00:46:58Help!
00:46:59Help!
00:47:00Help!
00:47:01Help!
00:47:02Help!
00:47:03Help!
00:47:04Help!
00:47:05Help!
00:47:06Help!
00:47:07Help!
00:47:08Help!
00:47:09Help!
00:47:10Help!
00:47:11Help!
00:47:12Help!
00:47:13Help!
00:47:14Help!
00:47:15Help!
00:47:16Help!
00:47:17Help!
00:47:18Help!
00:47:19Help!
00:47:20No.
00:47:36Mr. Allan.
00:47:38Which is your office?
00:47:40The one on the end.
00:47:41All right.
00:47:42Let's step inside.
00:47:51Sit down, Alan.
00:47:56Now then, are you suggesting this accident had something to do with Trent?
00:48:00I'm not suggesting, I know.
00:48:02Don't you see, he found out I was working late.
00:48:06He rigged the elevator, he was expecting me.
00:48:09Instead, Bob forgot some papers.
00:48:14He came back.
00:48:15So you think Trent tampered with the brakes of the elevator?
00:48:18Who else would do such a thing?
00:48:20I called up Mr. Meacham.
00:48:22So?
00:48:23He had some interesting things to say about you and Wayne.
00:48:26Like what?
00:48:27I understand you expected to be appointed art director.
00:48:29That's right.
00:48:30Wayne got the job instead of you.
00:48:31That sort of disappointment could make a man desperate, very desperate.
00:48:34I don't like your theory.
00:48:36I just hope that's all it is, a theory.
00:48:39Good night, Mr. Alan.
00:48:54Oh, Pam.
00:49:02Mr. Meacham.
00:49:06Bob Wayne is dead.
00:49:10How?
00:49:12The elevator.
00:49:14Somebody...
00:49:16It fell ten floors.
00:49:19It was meant for me.
00:49:23It was no accident, Pam.
00:49:27He tried to kill me.
00:49:30John.
00:49:31John.
00:49:34When I phoned you this afternoon...
00:49:39A loving memory of John Allen.
00:49:41There was a wreath as well.
00:49:43He might have come round to make funeral arrangements.
00:49:46Funeral arrangements, huh?
00:49:48Do you know who it was?
00:49:50Yes, the local undertaker.
00:49:52A man named Cranston.
00:49:55Maybe this will convince Whitaker.
00:50:02Phone's out.
00:50:04But it can't be.
00:50:06I phoned Dorothy this afternoon.
00:50:11Well, it is.
00:50:14I'll get the car and we'll all drive into town.
00:50:31Pam!
00:50:33Pam!
00:50:53Pam!
00:50:55Pam!
00:50:58What? What is it?
00:51:01The tires have been slashed.
00:51:03Lock the back door.
00:51:27John.
00:51:28One week and a whole lot...
00:51:32Listen.
00:51:38Tommy in his room?
00:51:39Yes, he's asleep.
00:51:53Sit down over here.
00:52:01Sit down over here.
00:52:31Sit down over here.
00:52:55It doesn't seem possible.
00:52:57You and I just sitting here waiting for something to happen.
00:53:01I know.
00:53:07Would you like some coffee?
00:53:09I'll go and make some.
00:53:31Hello, Pam.
00:54:02Drop it! Drop it!
00:54:05Pam, don't.
00:54:06Do you hear what he says?
00:54:07Now drop it.
00:54:13That's better.
00:54:17Now kick it over here.
00:54:25Get back.
00:54:32Get back.
00:54:33Go on.
00:54:36What do you want from us?
00:54:38I want what's mine.
00:54:40Pamela.
00:54:42Is that the way you go about it?
00:54:44That's the way.
00:54:59Turn around.
00:55:02Put your hands behind your back.
00:55:08Now tie them up, Pam.
00:55:23You should have listened to me in the first place, Pam.
00:55:27I told you not to get married.
00:55:32Let's have a look.
00:55:33Get back.
00:55:36Make it tighter.
00:55:43Okay.
00:55:51Get in the kitchen.
00:56:01Get in the kitchen.
00:56:22Pam, what happened?
00:56:26Get upstairs and stay with Tommy.
00:56:27Go on.
00:56:31Go on.
00:57:02Pam!
00:57:04You stay with Tommy.
00:57:05I'm going to one of the neighbors and call the police.
00:57:07He can't get far.
00:57:08But, John!
00:57:09John, please!
00:57:14Tommy.
00:57:16Wake up, Tommy.
00:57:20Wake up, Tommy.
00:57:22Wake up, Tommy.
00:57:24Wake up, Tommy.
00:57:26Wake up, Tommy.
00:57:28Wake up, Tommy.
00:57:30Come on, wake up, Tommy.
00:57:32We've got to go in the car.
00:57:34Did you really think you'd seen the last of me, Pamela?
00:57:38I told you if you married someone else, I'd come back.
00:57:42I said, don't let me find you with some other man.
00:57:46Remember?
00:57:48I want you, Pamela.
00:57:50I want you.
00:57:52Don't.
00:57:54Get up!
00:57:57Daddy, daddy!
00:57:59Daddy, where are you?
00:58:00Daddy, daddy!
00:58:01Daddy, where are you?
00:58:02Daddy, daddy!
00:58:03Where are you?
00:58:04Daddy, daddy!
00:58:05Daddy, where are you?
00:58:06Daddy, where are you?
00:58:07Daddy, daddy!
00:58:08Where are you?
00:58:09Daddy, daddy!
00:58:10Where are you?
00:58:11Daddy!
00:58:30Leave my mummy alone, otherwise I'll shoot you.
00:58:33Tommy, don't!
00:58:40Give it to me, Sammy.
00:58:44Come on.
00:58:47Give it to me.
00:58:51Come on.
00:58:59Come on.
00:59:06Pam!
