00:02:41♪♪
00:02:43In here. Doctor's expecting you.
00:02:58Ah, Dr. Martin.
00:03:00Yes.
00:03:03You'll forgive me for not rising.
00:03:05An accident.
00:03:06You might call it that.
00:03:08Carelessness, actually.
00:03:11Never turn your back on a patient.
00:03:13Teach you that at school, don't they?
00:03:15Yes, they do, Dr. Starr.
00:03:17Hey, Dr. Rutherford.
00:03:19Lionel Rutherford.
00:03:21Ah.
00:03:23I understood that Dr. Starr was head of this institution.
00:03:27I'm Dr. Starr's associate.
00:03:29Sit down, sit down.
00:03:32You advertise for a senior houseman.
00:03:34I sent along my credentials and Dr. Starr asked me to come along for an interview.
00:03:38I've read your report.
00:03:40But it doesn't tell me what I need to know.
00:03:43Your background qualifies you to set up a fashionable psychiatric practice.
00:03:50Hold wealthy old ladies by the hand while they tell you about their horrible husbands.
00:03:57But we're a long way from Harley Street out here.
00:04:03This is an asylum of the incurably insane.
00:04:11You want to know the most useful thing here?
00:04:15This.
00:04:17Control system for the door upstairs.
00:04:19No keys, just an electrical device.
00:04:24The door can't be opened from either side unless I press that button.
00:04:30If you're trying to warn me that some of the inmates are potentially dangerous, you needn't worry.
00:04:34I've dealt with disturbed patients during my training.
00:04:37By what methods?
00:04:39Kindness, understanding, insight.
00:04:42Exactly my ways, 20 years ago.
00:04:46Now I'm not so sure.
00:04:49Those poor devils up there can't be cured, they can only be confined and kept from being dangerous.
00:04:55Is that Dr. Starr's outlook too?
00:04:59Dr. Starr is upstairs now.
00:05:02What with the patient?
00:05:04Dr. Starr is a patient.
00:05:09Dr. Starr attacked me a few days ago, sadly, without warning.
00:05:14That's how I injured my leg.
00:05:18Yes.
00:05:21Working with the mentally disturbed can lead to a breakdown.
00:05:27The nurse and orderly managed to transfer Dr. Starr upstairs with the other patients.
00:05:32I come to go there.
00:05:34The orderly gives me reports.
00:05:37He says the doctor is perfectly rational now.
00:05:41Except for one thing.
00:05:44A new personality seems to have taken over.
00:05:49With its own name and its own life story.
00:05:52Hysterical fugue.
00:05:54Meaningless label, don't you think?
00:05:57It describes something that exists.
00:06:00From time to time a man disappears.
00:06:03And is discovered much later living in a different town, under a different name, following a different occupation.
00:06:09Because something happened in his earlier life that made it completely intolerable.
00:06:13Do you believe you could recognize such a case?
00:06:17I'm certain I can.
00:06:19Very well.
00:06:20We'll call it a test.
00:06:23There are several patients upstairs with the sort of condition you describe.
00:06:30Go up there. Talk to them.
00:06:33If you can recognize who is or was Dr. Starr, then I'll consider you qualified for the position.
00:06:43I will recognize him.
00:06:45Him?
00:06:47How do you know the doctor is a man?
00:07:04Reynolds.
00:07:05Yes, doctor.
00:07:06Reynolds.
00:07:08I'm sending a young man upstairs.
00:07:11Dr. Martin. Dr. Martin.
00:07:14Now listen to me carefully.
00:07:41Dr. Martin.

00:09:27Dr. Martin
00:09:28I'm Max Reynolds, The Orally.
00:09:31I'm pleased to meet you.
00:09:34Come this way.
00:09:37It keeps out the draft, as Dr. Starr used to say.
00:09:41You know why I'm here?
00:09:43Dr. Rutherford gave me full instructions.
00:09:45What can you tell me about the doctor?
00:09:47Who?
00:09:48Rutherford.
00:09:50Starr.
00:09:51Nothing.
00:09:53You're to be given full cooperation, but no clues.
00:09:58Are all these rooms occupied?
00:10:00Yes.
00:10:01We keep them locked, of course, as a security measure.
00:10:06It's my office.
00:10:09Aren't the patients free to move around at all?
00:10:11They're not too badly off. You'll see for yourself.
00:10:14First patient?
00:10:15Mm-hmm.
00:10:16Name?
00:10:18She calls herself Bonnie.
00:10:21B. Starr.
00:10:22That's a question for you to decide.
00:10:26Tea in the afternoon...
00:10:31Yes...
00:10:38Bonnie.
00:10:40Bonnie.
00:10:42Come along.
00:10:43Here's Dr. Martin to see you.
00:10:50Leave me alone.
00:10:52I was hoping I could talk to you.
00:10:54Talk?
00:10:56That's all you people ever do, is talk.
00:10:59Nobody listens.
00:11:02I listen, too.
00:11:05You wouldn't believe me.
00:11:07Perhaps not, but I am willing to listen.
00:11:14Well, if it makes any difference.
00:11:24I hope to God we get to the airport on time.
00:11:26For the last time, Walter, there's nothing to worry about.
00:11:29Did it arrive?
00:11:30Yes, it's here. They finished installing it about an hour ago.
00:11:33There's nothing to worry about.
00:11:35That's easy enough for you to say, Bonnie, but supposing something goes wrong?
00:11:38It can't go wrong, not if you follow the plan.
00:11:41I'll follow it.
00:11:43But if only I could see you first.
00:11:45You'll see me soon enough.
00:11:48I'll be waiting for you once it's over.
00:11:50I'll ring you.
00:11:56Okay.
00:12:42Walter?
00:12:45You're home early.
00:12:47I didn't get into town today.
00:12:50But you did get into the brandy.
00:12:51This happens to be my first drink.
00:12:53Not your last, I'm sure.
00:12:55Can I fix you one?
00:12:56Yes, please.
00:12:59How did your class go?
00:13:01It's not a class. Professor Kalanga is a spiritual leader.
00:13:05Professor.
00:13:07Back in Africa, he'd be just another witch doctor.
00:13:09What do you know about it?
00:13:10Don't forget, I lived there for years.
00:13:13After all, my father was...
00:13:14Governor General of the colony.
00:13:18It's a good thing he can't see his daughter now.
00:13:20The poor old boy'd turn in his grave.
00:13:22Taking voodoo lessons from a black charlatan.
00:13:25It is not voodoo.
00:13:29There are natural forces which are stronger than...
00:13:32than life or death.
00:13:35Forces which modern, civilized man has forgotten.
00:13:37I wish you'd forget all this mumbo-jumbo.
00:13:41What's that?
00:13:44It's called anuanga.
00:13:47I think it's revolting.
00:13:48It's not supposed to be pretty.
00:13:50The serpent is a symbol of the life force.
00:13:55And the teeth are to protect one from evil.
00:13:59There's no evil in your life.
00:14:01Oh, but there is.
00:14:04What do you mean?
00:14:06Bonnie.
00:14:11That's all over and done with, I swear it.
00:14:15Only last month you came and asked me for a divorce.
00:14:18I haven't seen her since.
00:14:20You have my word on that.
00:14:22I'm glad you haven't.
00:14:24Because I told you then and I'm telling you now.
00:14:27There won't be any divorce.
00:14:33Oh, I know you, Walter.
00:14:35You're a weak, vain, selfish opportunist.
00:14:39You're content to live off my money.
00:14:42But you are...
00:14:44mine.
00:14:46And I will never let you go.
00:14:49Never.
00:14:51Now, you do understand that, don't you?
00:14:54Perfectly.
00:15:05Darling.
00:15:08I've got a present for you.
00:15:10Oh?
00:15:12What is it?
00:15:13You'll see.
00:15:16Come along with me.
00:15:21I don't see anything.
00:15:23Downstairs.
00:15:25In the basement?
00:15:27After you.
00:15:29Careful now, mind the steps.
00:15:35Well?
00:15:37What is it?
00:15:39Oh, darling.
00:15:42It's a freezer.
00:15:46Do you like it?
00:15:48Oh, you know I've always wanted one.
00:15:50What a lovely surprise.
00:15:52I have another one for you.
00:15:54What is it?
00:15:55This.
00:16:15What is it?
00:16:45Oh, darling.
00:17:15Oh, darling.
00:17:45Oh, darling.
00:18:15Oh, darling.

00:19:40Oh, darling.
00:19:41Oh, darling.
00:19:42Oh, darling.
00:19:44Huh, rest in pieces.
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:04It's finished.
00:20:06Good.
00:20:07Are you all right?
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:10How soon can you get here?
00:20:11I'm just packing. I should be there within the hour.
00:20:14I'll be ready.
00:20:17One more thing, Walter.
00:20:19We'll have to take her alone.
00:20:21Why? There's no need for that.
00:20:23No one's going to check up while we're away.
00:20:25It'll be safer if there's nothing left behind.
00:20:27They may still suspect, but they'll have no proof.
00:20:30We'll dispose of the evidence on the way to the airport.
00:20:33And look, we can't talk about it on the phone. We'll talk when you're here.
00:20:36But for God's sake, don't let anyone see you.
00:20:39I'll bring my car round to the back, and I'll keep the kitchen door unlocked so I won't have to knock.
00:20:43All right, but hurry. The sooner we're out of here, the better.
00:20:46I'll be right there.
00:20:47I'll be waiting.
00:21:09Okay.
00:21:39Okay.
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:39Okay.
00:23:09Okay.
00:23:39Okay.
00:24:05Walter.
00:24:09Walter.
00:24:16Walter?
00:24:39Walter?
00:24:47Walter?
00:25:09Walter?
00:25:39Walter?
00:26:09Walter?
00:26:39Walter?
00:27:09Walter?
00:27:39Walter?
00:28:09Walter?
00:28:26They found me lying there the next morning.
00:28:29They said I'd strangled Walter.
00:28:33I tried to tell them about Ruth.
00:28:36And the hand.
00:28:38But it was gone.
00:28:42Everything was gone.
00:28:47But the hand was on my face.
00:28:52I chopped.
00:28:56And chopped.
00:29:00And chopped at it.
00:29:05Now do you believe me?
00:29:08Now?
00:29:20Paranoid psychosis.
00:29:23How did she come to the asylum?
00:29:26She could have come as a doctor.
00:29:28And the world would be a better place.
00:29:32She could have come as a doctor.
00:29:34And the wife?
00:29:35You'll learn the real case histories when you've made your choice.
00:29:39That's the service lift from the kitchen.
00:29:43The next patient?
00:29:45His name is Bruno.
00:29:48Bruno?
00:29:51This is Dr. Martin.
00:30:02What are you making?
00:30:05Whatever you like.
00:30:08Could it be a surgical gown?
00:30:11I can make whatever you wish.
00:30:15It could be a surgical gown.
00:30:20Or a shroud.
00:30:27I'm a tailor.
00:30:31Doctors can sew. Stitch.
00:30:36Always been a tailor.
00:30:42Always.
00:31:04Oh, Mr. Stebbins. Good evening.
00:31:09It's the first of the month.
00:31:12The rent is due.
00:31:15Mr. Stebbins, I got a wonderful idea.
00:31:18Have you got the rent?
00:31:20Every month you come here and always you are wearing the same suit.
00:31:25Nothing wrong with my suit. Gives me good wear.
00:31:28Yes, but style, no.
00:31:31Now listen.
00:31:33For one month's rent, I could make for you such a suit.
00:31:37I don't need a suit.
00:31:39And if I did, I wouldn't get it from you.
00:31:48I haven't got it.
00:31:50Now, see here.
00:31:51No, no, no. You see here, Mr. Stebbins. You see this shop.
00:31:57People, people, fine people used to come here for fine tailoring.
00:32:03Now, a little dressing, a little mending is all I get.
00:32:08I will pay the rent.
00:32:10But you must give me a little more time.
00:32:13I'll tell you what.
00:32:15Today is Monday, right?
00:32:17I'll be back here on Saturday morning.
00:32:20Saturday morning?
00:32:21Bright and early.
00:32:22And if you haven't got the rent, you can start packing.
00:32:31No tricks now.
00:32:34No tricks.
00:32:40Your supper, it's ready.
00:32:41I'm not hungry.
00:32:44Something is wrong?
00:32:47Not something, Anna.
00:32:49Everything.
00:32:51Mr. Stebbins was here.
00:32:54He's given us one week.
00:32:56A man works hard all his life, and then in one week...
00:33:02Where can we go?
00:33:10Good evening, is the proprietor in?
00:33:14Good evening, is the proprietor in?
00:33:22I am the proprietor.
00:33:39Go have your supper.
00:33:44Now, what can I do for you, Mr...
00:33:49Smith.
00:33:51Am I correct in assuming that you can tailor a garment from any material of my own selection?
00:33:57You want I should make you a suit?
00:34:01Exactly.
00:34:03I have a fine stock of woolens here.
00:34:06That will not be necessary.
00:34:10I brought my own material.
00:34:13I see.
00:34:14You will be wanting something special.
00:34:18Correct.
00:34:21Something very special.
00:34:26There's enough here for a suit, I believe.
00:34:29Unusual.
00:34:33Special.
00:34:35It will be difficult to work from such a fabric, but I can promise you a suit.
00:34:42Now, if you will just slip off your coat so I can make measure.
00:34:46The suit is not for me.
00:34:48It is for my son.
00:34:51When will he come in for fitting?
00:34:54It's to be a surprise.
00:34:56Oh, a present.
00:34:58You might call it that.
00:35:01I have written down all the measurements.
00:35:05Made various diagrams of the style.
00:35:13Expensive.
00:35:15Then you'll have to charge me accordingly, shall we say, 200 pounds?
00:35:21200?
00:35:25I will begin immediately.
00:35:27No.
00:35:28This schedule.
00:35:30It is of the greatest importance that you work on the suit only during hours listed here.
00:35:38But these times, they're all past midnight.
00:35:43I happen to believe in astrology.
00:35:46Is that so?
00:35:47I take it you are not a believer?
00:35:50No matter.
00:35:51All that concerns you is following these instructions to the letter.
00:35:56There must be no mistake, is that clear?
00:35:59No mistake.
00:36:01Everything will be as you wish.
00:36:04I swear.
00:36:05You'll find my address written on the top of the first sheet.
00:36:09When may I have delivery?
00:36:12Today is Monday.
00:36:14If I start tonight...
00:36:17Yes.
00:36:18So, I can bring you the suit on Friday.
00:36:23Excellent.
00:36:24I shall expect you the moment it is finished.
00:36:36Remember my instructions.
00:36:39I promise.
00:36:41Good night.
00:36:56Bruno?
00:36:58Who was that man?
00:37:00A customer.
00:37:01He ordered a suit.
00:37:03200 pounds he will pay.
00:37:07Bruno, I'm afraid.
00:37:09There is something not right and all.
00:37:11There is something that will make you trouble.
00:37:14I must do it.
00:37:30I must do it.
00:38:00I...
00:38:02I...
00:38:16Wait!
00:38:20What is it?
00:38:21What is it?
00:38:25The instructions said to work till five o'clock only.
00:38:31I tried to work a little longer.
00:38:51It is finished?
00:39:14It is finished?
00:39:17I'm the one who is finished.
00:39:19Four nights.
00:39:20Nothing but work.
00:39:23From midnight to just before dawn.
00:39:28Now it's done.
00:39:29May I see it?
00:39:36It is strange.
00:39:39You are going to press it?
00:39:40No, no.
00:39:41Mrs. Smith doesn't want it pressed.
00:39:44Then what will you do?
00:39:45Deliver it.
00:39:46Just as he said.
00:39:47Right now.
00:39:49Right now.
00:40:19Right now.
00:40:50At last.
00:40:52Did you bring it?
00:40:54Ah, good.
00:40:55Come in.
00:40:56Come in.
00:41:08This way.
00:41:11This way.
00:41:13This way.
00:41:15This way.
00:41:17This way.
00:41:20This way.
00:41:23Yes, now there are two steps down.
00:41:32In here...
00:41:35I study.
00:41:47The suit is completed.
00:41:48Oh, yes.
00:41:50It was difficult working with such material and at night only.
00:41:56But you followed the instructions.
00:41:58Just as you ordered.
00:42:00Splendid.
00:42:03You have no idea how much this means to me and to my son.
00:42:07Ah, your son.
00:42:09Where is he?
00:42:11Never mind.
00:42:13Now, if I may see the suit.
00:42:14Ah.
00:42:16Oh, yes, of course, your fee.
00:42:18Just send me your account and I'll take care of it.
00:42:21I must have the money first.
00:42:24I have bills to pay.
00:42:27You wouldn't understand.
00:42:29You're rich.
00:42:31On the contrary.
00:42:32I understand the situation only too well.
00:42:35It so happens at the moment.
00:42:37I'm in the same financial position as yourself.
00:42:40You?
00:42:42Don't misunderstand.
00:42:44In a very short while I shall be in funds again.
00:42:48Just as soon as my son returns.
00:42:52Your diamond?
00:42:54Yes.
00:42:57It's a fake.
00:43:00It was real once, but I had to dispose of it in order to continue my work.
00:43:07My studies.
00:43:09This book now.
00:43:15It's very old.
00:43:17Very rare.
00:43:19The only one of its kind left in the world.
00:43:23Cost me my fortune.
00:43:25You gave all your money for a book?
00:43:29A penny.
00:43:31But I needed it because of my son.
00:43:34I sold everything to buy it.
00:43:38You're lying.
00:43:41See for yourself.
00:43:42There is nothing left.
00:43:45What is in that room?
00:43:48That room is empty too.
00:43:51There is nothing in there, I tell you.
00:43:53Please.
00:44:10So that's it.
00:44:14You're a murderer.
00:44:18No, I'm no murderer.
00:44:22He died a natural death.
00:44:25I knew a long time ago that it was inevitable.
00:44:33Can't you see?
00:44:35This is my son.
00:44:42Your son?
00:44:44He is the one I was working for.
00:44:46Planning for.
00:44:48The book told me what to do.
00:44:50That's why I had to make the suit.
00:44:52It is for him.
00:44:54Give it to me.
00:44:57No.
00:44:59First the money.
00:45:09Can't stop me now.
00:45:11No one can stop me now.
00:45:17Give me that suit.
00:45:40Give me that suit.
00:46:10Give me that suit.
00:46:41No.
00:46:43Mr. Stedding's phone just after you left.
00:46:45He said to remind you he was coming for his rent in the morning.
00:46:48I told him it was all right.
00:46:50You were collecting money from a customer tonight.
00:46:52You told him?
00:46:54Anna, I asked you not to say a word about this to anyone.
00:46:58Burn, burn, burn it.
00:47:00Put it in the stove and burn it.
00:47:03Forget about the suit.
00:47:05Forget I ever made the suit.
00:47:07Forget about Mr. Smith.
00:47:08Forget about Mr. Smith.
00:47:10Forget everything.
00:47:12Burn it.
00:47:18A fortune is hidden.
00:47:38A fortune is hidden.
00:48:02The fire.
00:48:09I don't know what you will do now.
00:48:12But when people see how you look, perhaps they will come in.
00:48:24I told you to burn the suit.
00:48:27I put it on Otto.
00:48:29Otto?
00:48:31I made a name for him.
00:48:33I talk to him often when I am alone.
00:48:35Anna, please.
00:48:37Please, burn the suit.
00:48:39I thought...
00:48:41No one must ever know it existed.
00:48:44Mr. Smith knows.
00:48:46Mr. Smith is dead.
00:48:48Dead?
00:48:51I killed him.
00:48:54It was an accident, but no one would believe that.
00:48:58What is that book?
00:49:00Mr. Smith has it.
00:49:02It is a book of magic.
00:49:03There is a spell for making the suit.
00:49:06The book, too, must be burned.
00:49:09No.
00:49:11What do you mean?
00:49:13Don't you see?
00:49:15If you have the book, you can show it to the police.
00:49:17Tell them what happened.
00:49:19Then they will believe you speak the truth.
00:49:21What do you know from the police?
00:49:23Bruno, please, for my sake, tell them what happened.
00:49:25No.
00:49:27Then I tell them.
00:49:29We cannot live with murder on our souls.
00:49:31Anna!
00:49:33Bruno!
00:49:35Bruno!
00:49:45Let go of me, Bruno!
00:50:00No, Anna!
00:50:03Bruno!
00:50:13You must find him.
00:50:15Somewhere in the city.
00:50:18He is alive.
00:50:20I tell you, he is alive.
00:50:34How did it happen?
00:50:36You know, I cannot tell you.
00:50:38Not yet.
00:50:40Not until I have made my choice.
00:50:42Dr. Rutherford's orders.
00:50:44All right.
00:50:46Who is next?
00:50:48A strange case.
00:50:50A very strange case.
00:50:53Her name is Barbara.
00:50:58How good of you to come.
00:51:00You are the lawyer, aren't you?
00:51:01No, I'm sorry.
00:51:03I'm afraid not.
00:51:05I asked to see a lawyer.
00:51:07I told you to send for one.
00:51:09This is Dr. Martin.
00:51:11Another doctor.
00:51:14But I'm not ill.
00:51:16You can see that.
00:51:18Your lawyer would know that it wasn't my fault.
00:51:20I haven't accused you of anything.
00:51:22You doctors are a lie.
00:51:24How can you be so sure about that?
00:51:27I happen to know a great deal about the medical profession.
00:51:29That's interesting.
00:51:33Did you study medicine yourself?
00:51:36You ask too many questions.
00:51:38That's only because I want to help you.
00:51:40And get me out of here.
00:51:42It wasn't my fault.
00:51:44You've got to understand that.
00:51:46I had nothing to do with it.
00:51:48It was...
00:51:50It was Lucy.
00:51:52Tell me about it.
00:51:53Tell me about it.
00:52:00All right.
00:52:05All right.
00:52:06All right.
00:52:22How do you feel, Barbara?
00:52:24You look marvelous.
00:52:26I feel fine.
00:52:28George, if only you knew how wonderful it is to be coming home again.
00:52:31Listen, I hope you're going to be very, very happy.
00:52:34Of course I will.
00:52:36Not like the last time.
00:52:38That's all over with now.
00:52:40I'm sure of it.
00:52:42Good.
00:52:44Get it out now.
00:53:07What's the matter?
00:53:09I don't know. I could swear I saw someone looking out of the window.
00:53:11Oh?
00:53:13I thought for a moment it might be Lucy.
00:53:15Now, remember what you promised in hospital.
00:53:17You're not to mention her name again.
00:53:19Yes, I know. I'm sorry.
00:53:21But there is someone inside, isn't there?
00:53:23Yes.
00:53:25Who is it?
00:53:27You'll soon see.
00:53:29Oh.
00:53:31Oh.
00:53:33Oh.
00:53:34You'll soon see.
00:53:36Who is it?
00:53:38Ah, Nurse Higgins.
00:53:40This is my sister, Barbara.
00:53:42Hello. I've heard so much about you.
00:53:44Nurse, where have you been, nurse?
00:53:46Now, it's only temporary until you get settled in again.
00:53:49The doctor suggested...
00:53:51Here, I'll take that, sir.
00:53:53Shall we go upstairs, huh?
00:53:55Upstairs?
00:53:57You can pop right into bed.
00:53:59Bed?
00:54:01In the middle of the afternoon?
00:54:03But I'm not in the least bit tired.
00:54:05Now, Barbara, you've promised me, remember,
00:54:07you're to follow the doctor's instructions.
00:54:11But this is my home.
00:54:13Our home.
00:54:15And I hope that we'll be together here, always.
00:54:18You don't want to go back into hospital, do you?
00:54:21No.
00:54:23You wouldn't.
00:54:25I sincerely hope it won't be necessary.
00:54:28Come along, dear.
00:54:32Aren't you going to come up?
00:54:35Later.
00:54:54I still think it's ridiculous going to bed at this hour.
00:54:57The doctor says you need a nap every day before tea to keep your strength up.
00:55:00But I'll never sleep.
00:55:02You're to drink this.
00:55:04What is it?
00:55:06Only a sedative, dear, to calm your nerves.
00:55:08I am calm.
00:55:10Perfectly calm.
00:55:12I'll just have one of my pills.
00:55:14Now, we're not to have any more of those things.
00:55:20That's better.
00:55:22Now, in we go.
00:55:30All comfy.
00:55:33Try to sleep now.
00:55:35And I'll look in on you a little later on.
00:55:37Tonight, after dinner, we'll have a nice chat.
00:55:41You'll be staying here in the evenings, too?
00:55:43Well, of course I will.
00:55:45And your brother's given me the room right next to yours.
00:55:48Hello?
00:55:50Oh, yes. Would you hold on a minute, please?
00:55:52Oh, no, seek ins, it's for you.
00:56:00Oh, yes.
00:56:02I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:56:04I'm sorry.
00:56:06I thought I'd better go.
00:56:08I'm sorry.
00:56:10I'm sorry.
00:56:12I thought I'd better go.
00:56:14I'm sorry.
00:56:17Hello, yes? Yes, speaking.
00:56:21Oh, no.
00:56:23Where did you say?
00:56:25Charing Cross Hospital.
00:56:27No danger?
00:56:30She's 78. I'll come at once, as soon as I can.
00:56:35May I see if it is anything the matter?
00:56:37It's my mother. I'm afraid she's had an accident.
00:56:40I must go to her.
00:56:42Well, what about my sister?
00:56:44I put her to bed under sedation. She'll sleep for hours.
00:56:47Well, now, look, there's a train in 20 minutes. I'll run you to the station.
00:56:51Oh, thank you. I'll get my bag.
00:58:14Hello, love.
00:58:33Lucy.
00:58:35How did you get in here?
00:58:37It wasn't easy.
00:58:39I've been waiting ever since you came home.
00:58:41Where?
00:58:43In the garage. That's where I phoned him from.
00:58:45Phoned?
00:58:47I had to get him out of the house.
00:58:49I knew he'd be a gentleman enough to drive her to the station.
00:58:55Well, aren't you glad to see me?
00:58:58Well, of course I am. But what if he finds you here?
00:59:01I know. That's why we have to work quickly.
00:59:05I don't understand.
00:59:07Obviously.
00:59:09What's the matter?
00:59:11Nothing. I just feel a little faint.
00:59:14Have you been taking those pills again?
00:59:16No. No, that's all over with.
00:59:19He doesn't trust you, does he?
00:59:21Shutting you up like this in a darkened room.
00:59:23Bringing in a nurse.
00:59:27She's not your nurse, you know.
00:59:29She's your guard.
00:59:31Your keeper.
00:59:33But George wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:59:36Oh, wouldn't he?
00:59:39Who owns this house?
00:59:42Why, I do.
00:59:44When Father died, he let everything to me.
00:59:47And if something happened to you?
00:59:50Suppose George has you put away for good?
00:59:53Oh, he wouldn't.
00:59:56Oh, he couldn't.
00:59:59All he has to do is to tell the doctors that you are too difficult to control at home.
01:00:04That nurse will back him up.
01:00:06But you know that's not true.
01:00:08And what good does that do?
01:00:10George won't listen to me.
01:00:12He doesn't even like to see me.
01:00:14That's so, isn't it?
01:00:16Isn't it?
01:00:26What am I going to do?
01:00:29I've got to get you away from here.
01:00:31And we haven't got much time.
01:00:33But if I stay with you, he'll find me.
01:00:36Where could we go?
01:00:38I thought of that.
01:00:40We could take a room somewhere.
01:00:42Do you have any money?
01:00:44No, but you do.
01:00:46A hundred pounds you put away for a new dress.
01:00:51How did you know that?
01:00:53You told me.
01:00:54Don't you remember?
01:00:58Well, I'll get it.
01:00:59No hurry.
01:01:01We can't go now.
01:01:02Not in broad daylight.
01:01:04Somebody's bound to notice.
01:01:06Besides, we'll need a car.
01:01:09Tonight, when George is asleep.
01:01:19Now don't you worry.
01:01:21Everything to me.
01:02:20Barbara.
01:02:47Barbara.
01:03:15Hello.
01:03:17Yes, no, it's against.
01:03:20She wasn't.
01:03:22That's very strange.
01:03:24But you will be back tonight.
01:03:27Good.
01:03:28Now, there's a late train getting in at ten o'clock.
01:03:30Take a taxi from the station and I'll be in Bursa.
01:03:33Splendid.
01:03:34Well, I'll expect you then.
01:03:36Goodbye.
01:04:07Come on, love.
01:04:08Wake up.
01:04:09Hurry up.
01:04:10Get dressed.
01:04:11It's time to go.
01:04:12You're so loud.
01:04:13He'll hear you.
01:04:14George.
01:04:15I've got some of the sedative they had for you.
01:04:16Put it in his tea.
01:04:17Will he sleep?
01:04:18He didn't even feel it when I took his car keys.
01:04:20Oh, Miss Higgins.
01:04:25By the time she gets here will be gone.
01:04:38Come on.
01:04:44You go and get dressed.
01:04:45Are you okay?
01:04:46Yes, yes, just a touch of nerves.
01:04:50I guess I'm not used to so much excitement.
01:04:52Oh, I love excitement.
01:04:59Here we are.
01:05:01Just the thing.
01:05:04What do you want with those?
01:05:06To cut the phone cord, silly.
01:05:08We don't want old Miss Higgins giving the alarm.
01:05:11Now, do we?
01:05:12You do think of everything.
01:05:14I try to.
01:05:16Now, you hurry and get dressed.
01:05:18And I'll go down the hall and...
01:05:23Remember, I expect to find your dress when I get back.
01:05:31I say...
01:05:33What?
01:05:35It is a lot, isn't it?
01:05:38Just like old times.
01:05:44Oh, dear.
01:06:14Oh, dear.
01:06:45What are you doing?
01:06:47Give them to me.
01:06:49I can't.
01:06:50I need them.
01:06:52Give them to me.
01:06:53Please, Lucy, one more.
01:06:55I am not going to watch you ruin yourself.
01:06:58Just one more, Lucy, then I promise.
01:07:01I thought you said you weren't taking them.
01:07:03I can't help it.
01:07:06You mean you don't want to help it.
01:07:09You always had a choice.
01:07:10George or the pills.
01:07:12Me or the pills, and the pills always win.
01:07:14Because deep down inside, you hate George.
01:07:18You hate me.
01:07:21No, Lucy, you're my best friend.
01:07:25These are your friends.
01:07:28Your only friends.
01:07:30Oh, I'm good enough for you when you're in trouble.
01:07:33But I've never been good enough for George or anyone else you know.
01:07:37Now, I can't even watch you.
01:07:40Now, I can't even win out over a handful of these.
01:07:44No.
01:07:49What I have done for you today, you'll never know.
01:07:54And it isn't enough.
01:07:57I'm getting out. Now.
01:07:59No, Lucy.
01:08:05You want these?
01:08:07Here.
01:08:09Take them.
01:08:14Lucy.
01:08:20Lucy?
01:08:23Lucy?
01:08:30Lucy!
01:08:32Lucy!
01:08:39Lucy, come back!
01:08:43Miss Barbara, what are you doing out of...
01:08:45I've got to go out.
01:08:46At this time of night?
01:08:47Yes, you don't understand, Miss Lucy.
01:08:49Lucy?
01:08:50Yes, she just left. I heard the car pull away.
01:08:52That was the cab I came in.
01:08:54There's no one out here.
01:08:56No one.
01:08:59Then she's still here.
01:09:06Where's your brother?
01:09:08In the study, I suppose.
01:09:12George?
01:09:14George?
01:09:28George?
01:09:51Barbara?
01:09:54Barbara?
01:09:58Barbara?
01:10:22There, Barbara.
01:10:24Now you're free.
01:10:26Free of all of them.
01:10:38How do you understand why I must see a lawyer?
01:10:41They said I killed them.
01:10:44They say my fingerprints are on the shears.
01:10:48It was Lucy. Lucy who did it.
01:10:52What does Lucy have to say about that?
01:10:56Why don't you ask her yourself?
01:11:00She's here with us now.
01:11:03Where?
01:11:09There she is.
01:11:11Don't you see her?
01:11:15Don't you see her?
01:11:18Don't you see her?
01:11:27Don't you see her?
01:11:31Was there a George and a Miss Higgins, Leonard?
01:11:34There may have been.
01:11:36But no Lucy.
01:11:38There may not have even been a Barbara.
01:11:43Meaning she might be Dr Starr?
01:11:46No, I don't think so.
01:11:48I don't think I've met Dr Starr yet.
01:11:52Maybe there is no such person.
01:11:55Perhaps your Dr Rutherford is just playing a game.
01:11:58Dr Rutherford never plays games.
01:12:02How many more are there for me to see?
01:12:04Just one.
01:12:05Then the choice.
01:12:06Then the choice.
01:12:08Tell me about this one.
01:12:11He calls himself Byron.
01:12:14Dr Byron.
01:12:20Byron?
01:12:25Gentlemen.
01:12:28I brought Dr Martin to see you.
01:12:32It's always a pleasure to meet a colleague.
01:12:35You're a doctor?
01:12:38Indeed I am, sir.
01:12:40Physician, neurosurgeon and orthopedic specialist.
01:12:45And...
01:12:46lately I found...
01:12:48still another vocation...
01:12:51even more fascinating.
01:12:54Do you care to see some of my recent work?
01:12:56Yes, I'd be happy to.
01:12:58If you'd be good enough, step over here.
01:13:08Who are the subjects?
01:13:11Former colleagues of mine.
01:13:13Of course I had to model their faces from memory.
01:13:16Quite a hobby.
01:13:17Oh, it's more than a hobby.
01:13:19Much more.
01:13:21These are not ordinary figures.
01:13:24The eyes...
01:13:25were made to see.
01:13:27Inside each skull is a perfectly proportioned brain...
01:13:30perfectly capable of functioning.
01:13:33You talk about them as if they were alive.
01:13:36That's the final step.
01:13:39From playthings to creations.
01:13:43Living creations.
01:13:45I know it sounds a bit...
01:13:48But you see, the Bible tells us that the Lord God...
01:13:51formed the man from the dust of the ground...
01:13:54and he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
01:13:57Thus the man became a living creature.
01:13:59Do you believe that, doctor?
01:14:01I'm afraid I put my belief in science.
01:14:03So do I.
01:14:05If I could breathe my...
01:14:07consciousness into one of these figures...
01:14:10that figure will come alive.
01:14:14You want to see what I'm working on now?
01:14:17Yes.
01:14:22Call it my...
01:14:24my final creation.
01:14:26That's your face.
01:14:28My face and inside my body...
01:14:30correct to the smallest detail.
01:14:33I can turn it on and you'll say...
01:14:35oh yes, it operates on batteries.
01:14:37But how do you know what it is...
01:14:39inside?
01:14:42What is it?
01:14:43It's me.
01:14:45I mean, not yet, but...
01:14:48it will be.
01:14:50Through the power of concentration I shall...
01:14:54I shall will my mind to enter its body...
01:14:56and it will be me.
01:14:58Rutherford wouldn't believe I could do it.
01:15:00He locked me up.
01:15:01But he let me keep my...
01:15:03my dolls.
01:15:05Occupational therapy he called it.
01:15:08You'll soon find out what they are.
01:15:11That's right, go.
01:15:15Run away and hide from the truth like that idiot downstairs.
01:15:18But it won't do any good, you know.
01:15:19You can tell Rutherford for me.
01:15:21Tell him the truth, we'll find him out.
01:15:24Tell him!
01:15:33Well, which is it?
01:15:37Would you mind stepping into your office?
01:15:39Would you mind stepping into your office...
01:15:40and telling the doctor that I'm ready to come down?
01:15:43No need.
01:15:45I'll use the intercom.
01:15:49What do you want me to tell him?
01:15:50Just tell him I'm coming to see him.
01:15:54Doctor Martin is ready to come down, sir.
01:16:00Thank you for your help.
01:16:01Don't mention it.
01:16:02It was a pleasure.
01:16:04Doctor...
01:16:07good luck.
01:16:19So...
01:16:21you've seen the patients.
01:16:25Well, what do you think?
01:16:27I think it's a disgrace.
01:16:30This institution...
01:16:32the way it's run...
01:16:34everything about it.
01:16:36Those patients...
01:16:37lost away by themselves.
01:16:39Lost in their own fantasies...
01:16:40and no attempt made to bring them back to reality.
01:16:43You forget...
01:16:44they're incurable.
01:16:47Take a man like Byron.
01:16:49You think you could...
01:16:51rid him of his delusions?
01:16:53I'd be willing to try.
01:16:54Then you fail.
01:16:56Byron...
01:16:57is hopelessly insane.

01:17:48There's only one way to remove...
01:17:50Byron's hallucinations.
01:17:56With his...
01:17:57Prefrontal lobotomy.
01:17:59Exactly.
01:18:00Do you believe that surgery is a substitute for psychiatry?
01:18:04It's effective...
01:18:07Yes, it's effective...
01:18:08in turning intelligent human beings into vegetables.

01:21:01Now...
01:21:03your choice.
01:21:05You'd still give me the job in spite of our differences?
01:21:07If you choose correctly...
01:21:11you might do some good here.
01:21:16Your choice.
01:21:26Your tea, doctor.
01:21:27Thank you, nurse.
01:21:32Milk and sugar?
01:21:34Nothing.
01:21:36I'm going back to London.
01:21:40You won't choose?
01:21:42No.
01:21:44I'm disappointed in you, Martin.
01:21:48Why? Because I refuse to play games with you?
01:21:50Because you admit defeat.
01:21:52Defeat?
01:21:53You can't identify Dr. Starr.
01:21:55That's why you're leaving, isn't it?
01:21:57Because you failed the test.
01:21:59Test?
01:22:01I'm not a schoolboy, I'm a qualified doctor.
01:22:03Obviously not qualified to practice here.
01:22:06These patients are badly in need of proper therapy.
01:22:09You won't help them, you won't even let them help themselves.
01:22:11On the contrary.
01:22:13I give them every opportunity to work out their fantasies.
01:22:16That's wrongly.
01:22:17Jake Byron, for example.
01:22:19His work is remarkable.
01:22:21Also dangerous.
01:22:23Dangerous?
01:22:24To himself.
01:22:25Dangerous?
01:22:26To himself.
01:22:27Perhaps it's time I put an end to it.
01:22:30Destroyed his figures.
01:22:31That may make him even worse.
01:22:33Or kill him.
01:22:38Yes, I think the time has come to take Byron's toys away forever.
01:22:55THE END
01:23:26THE END
01:23:29THE END
01:23:54Buzz!
01:23:55Buzz!
01:23:58I was in my office and he cried out.
01:24:02By the time I got to his room it was too late.
01:24:06He's dead.
01:24:07All of his body was crushed.
01:24:13So that's the end of Byron Starr.
01:24:16You recognized him then, sir?
01:24:19It was obvious.
01:24:20Where are you going?
01:24:21To call the police.
01:24:23Is there a phone in your office?
01:24:24Don't go in there, sir.
01:24:37No.
01:24:49He's been strangled.
01:24:50Strangled?
01:24:53Two days ago.
01:24:55There was no opportunity to dispose of it.
01:24:57Dispose of it? Who is he?
01:24:59His name was Max Reynolds.
01:25:02Really?
01:25:09Yes.
01:25:11I'm afraid your guess was wrong.
01:25:14I am Dr. Starr.
01:25:20I'm here.
01:25:50THE END
01:26:20THE END
01:26:51THE END
01:27:12Ah, good afternoon.
01:27:13Good afternoon. I've come about the appointment.
01:27:16Yes, I was expecting you.
01:27:18You come in.
01:27:24Better keep the door closed and keep out the drafts, as Dr. Starr used to say.
01:27:48THE END
01:28:18THE END
