00:00Good evening, my dear.
00:09You're more beautiful than ever this evening.
00:12After dinner, we are taking a long walk.
00:15You always appeared perfectly rational to me.
00:17My father and mother were apparently as happy as two people could be.
00:21Another man?
00:22The usual best friend.
00:23It almost broke my father's heart.
00:25He never forgets their wedding anniversary and celebrates it that way.
00:28I guess he isn't the only one who resorts to make-believe,
00:30but it does give one an uncanny feeling.
00:32You wanted your coat, Miss Kessler.
00:33Oh, yes, thank you.
00:35I think this is a crazy house.
00:36And what about those murders?
00:38Jules here says there's been a lot of them.
00:39Mrs. Kessler, I brought you your dinner.
00:42I want to go home.
00:43But you are home.
00:45You see, I found you.
00:46I'm running away.
00:47Why don't you tell Mr. Kessler about his wife, that you're hiding her?
00:50I would kill him if we saw her the way she is.
00:53She'd be better off if she died with that man than that car was wrecked.
00:56Maybe she had something to do with all these horrible murders.
00:59Did you think that you could get rid of me as easy as all that?
01:01Be quiet.
01:02Nothing's going to stand in the way of my happiness.
01:04He hasn't asked me to marry him yet, but he will.
01:10I'm afraid to come home.
01:12You'd kill me.
01:13You'd kill anybody.
01:14Something terrible has happened.
01:33I tried to wake the new maid.
01:35I think she's dead.
01:36Call the police.
01:37I'll see what that can do.
01:38The girl was killed the same way as the chauffeur six months ago.
01:41The only thing we could find was this note left by some fellow who wanted to give her the air.
01:45What gets me, Mr. Kessler, is why you refused to move out of this place.
01:48Sentimental reasons.
01:49Nothing very sentimental about a house where anything could happen and usually does.
01:53My mother lived here, Lieutenant.
01:54I see.
01:55She said she wasn't going to let him marry anyone else.
01:57That made him real mad.
01:59They said nothing was going to stand between him and his happiness.
02:01Not even her.
02:03She offered me the companionship I needed.
02:05Then I met you and fell in love for the first time.
02:07I love you too, though.
02:08Surely you can account for your activities from the time you left our house.
02:12I took a long ride into the country.
02:13I didn't kill her.
02:15The city would let nothing stand in the way of his happiness.
02:17Not even her.
02:18Oh, and I'm sure something can be done.
02:20Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
02:23It's all over.
02:25My name is Dixon.
02:26Of course.
02:26I'd like to see Mr. Kessler.
02:28Oh, Ralph.
02:29Can't be.
02:30Apparently my brother never told you about me.
02:33Do I look pale?
02:34Did he have a good attorney?
02:35One of the very best.
02:36We did everything we possibly could.
02:38You know, the Ralph and my daughter were quite serious about each other.
02:57Give me the police department.
02:59God bless, sir.
02:59He's been murdered.
03:00All the others got it, and always the same way.
03:03Others have been killed here.
03:04Why in the world do you stay in this place?
03:06We can't leave.
03:07I guess he's waiting for his wife to come back.
03:09She left him several years ago.
03:10But I think about her constantly.
03:14He's alive.
03:15Get him out of here.
03:16He's not dead.
03:17Did you recognize the man who tried to kill you?
03:20I don't believe I was ever more startled in my life than the Mrs. Mason Scream.
03:23It must have been a terrific shock to see him come back to life.
03:26Just a few moments longer, and we'd have known who the assailant was.
03:30Dad, who would do a thing like that?
03:52I wonder if anyone was hurt.
03:54Nobody came into this house last night.
03:56It's Ryan.
04:02I found this in the picture.
04:04Possible doctor for a man to be normal, say, for two or three months at a time,
04:07then go completely insane for an hour or two.
04:09Yes, but...
04:10Do you want to talk to him?
04:11Sit down.
04:13Do you want to speak to me, sir?
04:15Well, young lady, what are you doing here?
04:16Am I crazy?
04:17I don't think so.
04:18But I'm dead, you understand?
04:20Ever see this before?
04:21What were you doing with it last night?
04:23I don't know what you're talking to me, sir.
04:24I know that woman.
04:26I'm dead.
04:28I'm afraid to come home.
04:30You'd kill me.
04:31You'd kill anybody.
04:32It's Kessler.
04:33Take her out, quickly.
04:40It's a Kessler.
04:42Oh, Dad.
04:43Who's at the door?
04:44We'll see that you get home all right.
04:46She's dead.
04:47What happened here?
04:51You've got the murderer.
04:52Evans.
04:53You.
04:54I knew you'd come back.
04:56Nothing can bar this now, my darling.
04:58You can't leave us after cooking such an elegant dinner.
05:09I never tasted anything to equal that roast beef.
05:12Can you taste my apple pie, Mr. Kessler?
05:14Apple pie?
05:15My, that will be a treat.
05:17I like it here.
05:18It's nice.
05:19Everything's so quiet and peaceful, like.
05:22Ever read the newspapers?
05:23No, they're just full of trash and murders and stuff.
05:28What you don't know, we have.
05:31It's all right.
05:32Here, here's your pepper and salt.
05:33Thanks.
