00:01:00The End
00:01:30At first, all I could see was this face coming toward me.
00:01:43Then I saw the room.
00:01:46A queer, mirrored room.
00:01:48Then somehow, I was inside it.
00:02:03There was danger there.
00:02:05I knew that.
00:02:07I wanted to turn and run, but I couldn't.
00:02:10It seemed as if my brain was handcuffed.
00:02:12And I had to do what I'd come to do.

00:04:33The End
00:05:03Those two thumb prints on my neck. They weren't there last night when I undressed. But it couldn't be. It was a nightmare. Talk about your realistic dreams.
00:05:33I must have scratched myself.

00:06:29That Button wasn't mine. The Key wasn't mine. But if they were there, it must have happened. The dream. The struggle, the murder, everything. But how? Would something like that happen and I'd not know it? Was I going insane? A jackhammer started pounding inside my head. I had to see if the outside world was still there.
00:06:53The street below looked the same as it did last night.
00:06:57The same greasy spoon where I eat now and then.
00:07:01The same traffic noises.
00:07:05The same characters houding around.
00:07:13There was nothing the matter out there.
00:07:17It was in here with me.
00:07:19My stomach was riding a roller coaster.
00:07:21I was sick.
00:07:23I couldn't face going to work.
00:07:49Hello.
00:07:50Give me Fitzroy 5103.
00:08:00Fremont National Bank.
00:08:02Did you speaking?
00:08:04Oh, yes, Grayson.
00:08:08Mm-hmm.
00:08:09What seems to be the trouble?
00:08:12Oh?
00:08:14It could be the flu.
00:08:16Mm-hmm.
00:08:18Yes.
00:08:20All right.
00:08:21All right.
00:08:22Goodbye.
00:08:24Good morning, Joe.
00:08:26Good morning, Mr. Jackson.
00:08:28Isn't that a lovely morning?
00:08:30Lots of things. I'd rather do than work today.
00:08:32Good morning, Mr. Vineyard.
00:08:33Good morning, Betty.
00:08:34Vince Grayson just called.
00:08:35He's not feeling well.
00:08:36Will you take his window today?
00:08:37Oh, is Vince sick?
00:08:38What did he say it was?
00:08:40It's not feeling well.
00:08:41Will you take his window today?
00:08:42Oh, is Vince sick?
00:08:43What did he say it was?
00:08:44What did he say it was?
00:08:45What did he say it was?
00:08:46The more I tried to figure it out, the thicker I got, suddenly the room started spinning.
00:09:1540, 50.
00:09:22Federal 7-6-4-8.
00:09:38Hotel Commodore, Vince Grayson's room, please.
00:09:44Hello, Mr. Andy.
00:09:45Who's the right?
00:09:46He doesn't answer?
00:09:53Funny he shouldn't be there, isn't it?
00:09:54If he was sick, you know what I mean?
00:09:55No, I don't.
00:09:56I better check his books.
00:09:59Funny he shouldn't be there, isn't it?
00:10:01If he was sick, you know what I mean?
00:10:03No, I don't.
00:10:07I'd better check his books.
00:10:09Just to make safe.
00:10:11Miss, would you like to take this money,
00:10:13or should I try another bank?
00:10:19I had to get out of my room.
00:10:21Out into the sunshine.
00:10:23I had to stay out of the shadows.
00:10:25I had to stay out of the shadows.
00:10:27I knew that tonight,
00:10:29I'd be afraid of the dark.
00:10:31I had to talk to somebody about this crazy thing.
00:10:33Betty?
00:10:35I'd get sympathy from Betty.
00:10:37What I needed was an explanation.
00:10:39Cliff,
00:10:41my brother-in-law,
00:10:43he ought to be able to figure out something.
00:10:45I got to Cliff's place just before dinner.
00:10:47My sister, Lil, told me he was out in the garage.
00:10:51I had to stay out of the shadows.
00:10:53I knew that tonight,
00:10:55I'd be afraid of the dark.
00:10:56I'd be afraid of the dark.
00:10:58Hello, Cliff.
00:11:00Oh, hi, Vince.
00:11:01How's the boy?
00:11:02Cliff, I...
00:11:03I want to talk to you.
00:11:05Do it, as soon as I've finished sanding it.
00:11:07Exact reproduction of Martha Washington's bed.
00:11:17What's the matter, kid?
00:11:18Something on your mind?
00:11:19I need your help.
00:11:20You and Betty have a fight for something?
00:11:22Cliff, this is gonna sound screwy.
00:11:25Last night, I dreamed I killed a man.
00:11:28I...
00:11:29I don't know who or where it was supposed to be.
00:11:32I stabbed him with a steel boar.
00:11:35During the fight, a button came off in my hand.
00:11:37When I'd kill him, I locked the body in a closet and took the key.
00:11:41And then when I woke up...
00:11:47Well, look.
00:11:52And this morning, there was blood on my wrist.
00:11:54I figured maybe I'd scratch myself in my sleep.
00:11:56My ear or my nose or someplace.
00:11:58So I just washed it off.
00:12:00That was before I saw Betty.
00:12:02You're all in pieces, aren't you?
00:12:04Cliff, you gotta help me.
00:12:05You don't know what I've been going through all day.
00:12:11Where'd you get this?
00:12:12I mean, where'd you first get it before you dreamed about it?
00:12:14Don't you understand what I've been telling you?
00:12:16I didn't have it before I dreamed about it.
00:12:18I never saw it before then.
00:12:20Then when I wake up, it turns out real.
00:12:22Now, look, Vince.
00:12:23I've warned you before.
00:12:24You're working too hard.
00:12:25I didn't have it before I dreamed about it.
00:12:27I never saw it before then.
00:12:28Then when I wake up, it turns out real.
00:12:29I've warned you before.
00:12:30You're working too hard.
00:12:32Don't you understand?
00:12:33There's a door somewhere this very minute this key belongs to.
00:12:36There's a man propped up behind a dead.
00:12:38And I don't know where nor who he is or how or why it happened.
00:12:41Only that I must have been there.
00:12:43I must have done it.
00:12:44Or why would it come to me in my sleep like this?
00:12:46And these things...
00:12:47Now, look.
00:12:48You had those things before.
00:12:50You picked them up somewhere.
00:12:51And you misplaced them a long time ago.
00:12:53And last night, you had a Welsh rabbit or one drink too many.
00:12:56So you dreamed up a nightmare.
00:12:58And in it, you remembered these old things and wove them in it.
00:13:01No, no.
00:13:02Now, don't say no.
00:13:04Either you dream a thing or it really happened.
00:13:07Don't worry.
00:13:09If you dreamed that you had a fight with a guy and rammed something in him,
00:13:12you'd wake up.
00:13:13It happened, Cliff.
00:13:14I tell you it happened.
00:13:15You dreamed it.
00:13:16You had those things before.
00:13:19You've just been stretching your nerves thin, kid.
00:13:24Well, that's your answer.
00:13:25That's all you can tell me, huh?
00:13:27Cliff, Finn.
00:13:28Dinner's ready.
00:13:29If I tell you I didn't have these things before...
00:13:30Throw those things away.
00:13:31And look.
00:13:32Not a word of this to Lil.
00:13:33You understand?
00:13:34She's been worrying about you enough already.
00:13:37You haven't helped me a bit.
00:13:38Only when the knuckles were.
00:13:39Come on.
00:13:40Naturally not.
00:13:41If you expect me to arrest you for murdering a man in your dream...
00:13:43Well, the rest will have to happen in a dream, too.
00:13:44Because...
00:13:45I'm off duty when I'm dreaming.
00:13:46Come on, kid.
00:13:47Let's get some dinner.
00:13:48And, uh...
00:13:49Smile for Lil will you?
00:14:13You men coming in or not?
00:14:14You want your soup to get cold?
00:14:16I keep cracking the polish off of that one male.
00:14:19Are you lucky?
00:14:20Lil's got a rib roast tonight.
00:14:21You know I'm getting jealous of that butcher.
00:14:23Vince, why didn't you tell me
00:14:24you've been working hard at the bank all day?
00:14:26Because I did.
00:14:29How are you feeling, Vince?
00:14:30I thought you were sick.
00:14:31I was.
00:14:32I just didn't feel well.
00:14:33I kept calling your room all day.
00:14:34No one was there.
00:14:35Mr. Billio got suspicious.
00:14:36Can a guy take a day off?
00:14:37I just didn't feel like going to work,
00:14:39and I wasn't sick.
00:14:40I was.
00:14:41I just didn't feel well.
00:14:42I kept calling your room all day.
00:14:43No one was there.
00:14:44I just didn't feel like going to work,
00:14:45and I wasn't sick enough to stay in my room.
00:14:47Now why does everybody have to make such a big thing of it?
00:14:49Hmm.
00:14:54The blood.
00:14:55I washed it off.
00:15:14I don't know how long I was blacked out.
00:15:19I hazily remembered coming to for a moment and falling asleep again.
00:15:25It was some time past midnight when something awakened me.
00:15:30What if I?
00:15:45Fight out.
00:15:46You certainly did.
00:15:49The truth?
00:15:50Uh-huh.
00:15:51Not what you think.
00:15:52Not that dream business.
00:15:53The real truth.
00:15:54But you've been wearing yourself out.
00:15:56Why are you passed out like any neurotic?
00:15:59Take the key to button.
00:16:00You must have often had less than that to start out on.
00:16:03Find out where they came from,
00:16:05and find out what they were doing on me.
00:16:08Find out where that mirrored room is.
00:16:10Forget them once and for all.
00:16:11Forget them.
00:16:12I can't.
00:16:13They're my only clue to what happened.
00:16:14Nothing happened.
00:16:15Just selling yourself a phony bill of goods.
00:16:17Just as phony as that idea that the nail polish was blood.
00:16:20That's the kind of trick your mind's been playing on you.
00:16:23Oh, it can't be bad.
00:16:25And don't crack to Lilla about this nonsense, or I'll...
00:16:28Well, just don't crack.
00:16:31She's fretted about you for years, ever since your mother died.
00:16:34And right now would be the worst time of all.
00:16:37Now?
00:16:38What do you mean?
00:16:40Well, I wasn't gonna tell you until later.
00:16:43Bell's gonna have a kid.
00:16:46Oh, that's fine.
00:16:48That's great, Cliff.
00:16:49Okay.
00:16:50So now you know.
00:16:51So forget it.
00:16:52And if you will hop on that spooky business that will help me,
00:16:55I'll...
00:16:56I'll drag you off to a doctor.
00:16:59Now go on.
00:17:00Get...
00:17:01Try and get some sleep.
00:17:16Sleep?
00:17:17I felt I'd never sleep again until I knew the answer.
00:17:23I had to find the house where the nightmare took place.
00:17:26I had to know.
00:17:46I have a lovely house with a mirror-lined powder room on the second floor.
00:17:51Autagonal?
00:17:52No.
00:17:53It's only four squares.
00:17:55However, Mr. Grayson, if you'll come and look at it, I'm certain...
00:17:58No, thanks.
00:17:59I'm sorry.
00:18:00This is not what I'm looking for.
00:18:04Six days went by without a lead.
00:18:06I scoured the papers.
00:18:08Not one line about the murder.
00:18:10And all week I've been avoiding Betty.
00:18:13I just couldn't face her with this thing gnawing in my brain.
00:18:24Who is it?
00:18:25Cliff.
00:18:28Hello, Cliff.
00:18:29Hiya, boy.
00:18:30We'll just see what I've got downstairs.
00:18:32Come on.
00:18:33Put it on.
00:18:34Let's go.
00:18:35I don't want to go anywhere.
00:18:37I want you to see my new second-hand car that I just got in exchange for my old second-hand car.
00:18:41Please, Cliff.
00:18:42I don't want to go anywhere.
00:18:43What are you trying to be, a groundhog?
00:18:44Lil and I taking a ride in the country.
00:18:46Little picnic.
00:18:47Listen, I'm all right.
00:18:48I don't need any fresh air jaunts to shake the devils out of me, if that's what you're doing.
00:18:52Now, love, do you want Lil to worry any more than she is after what I told you about her?
00:18:59Come on.
00:19:00Now, look, Cliff, if you think this is going to do any good...
00:19:12Don't be a grip.
00:19:13Come on.
00:19:17Hello, Betty.
00:19:18Hello, Vince.
00:19:19Hiya, Lil.
00:19:20I'm fine.
00:19:21Vince, I want you to know this wasn't my idea.
00:19:23What do you mean?
00:19:24I'm glad you picked me up.
00:19:25Well, where should we go, kid?
00:19:26Well, anywhere.
00:19:27I don't care.
00:19:28How about Zalanda Canyon?
00:19:29All right.
00:19:39Zalanda Canyon.
00:19:40It just popped into my head.
00:19:42Why?
00:19:43Betty and I always preferred the beach.
00:19:46But something made me say Zalanda.
00:19:49Somehow, it seemed important.
00:19:58You know where you're going?
00:19:59Nope.
00:20:00But I got a hunch further down this road, we'll find just the right spot.
00:20:13You ever see anything so stubborn?
00:20:15I'm sure that the ants here are just as friendly as the ants farther down.
00:20:18Now, what's wrong with that place over there?
00:20:20Nothing, but, uh...
00:20:21Well, stop then.
00:20:22It's getting late, and besides, I'm hungry.
00:20:24Okay, okay, my love.
00:20:25That's just what I was going to do.
00:20:40Ah, this is the life.
00:20:42Toss me another one of those marshmallows, will you, beloved?
00:20:45At I wish, master.
00:20:47Plop!
00:20:49Mommy!
00:20:50You're wonderful.
00:20:51Uh-huh.
00:20:52Just as long as the marshmallows last.
00:21:04Vince, are you coming back to work tomorrow?
00:21:06I don't think so.
00:21:10Mr. Billio asked me to go out with him yesterday.
00:21:12Well, why didn't you go?
00:21:13Why tell me?
00:21:14Vince!
00:21:15What is it?
00:21:16What's the matter?
00:21:17What is it?
00:21:18What's the matter?
00:21:32Just forget about me, will you?
00:21:34What is it?
00:21:35Did I do something?
00:21:37No, it's not your fault.
00:21:39It's just that...
00:21:40Look, we're through.
00:21:43There's nothing we can do about it.
00:21:45Don't call me out.
00:21:46Don't pay any attention to me.
00:21:48Get somebody else.
00:21:49Get anybody.
00:21:52It'll be better for you.
00:22:02Bill, Bill, you're a big girl now.
00:22:04Well, I can't help it.
00:22:05You know what lightning does to me.
00:22:07We'd better go.
00:22:08Hey, kids!
00:22:09It's gonna rain!
00:22:10Oh!
00:22:11Holy smoke!
00:22:12You didn't have to take me seriously!
00:22:13Yes, Benny!
00:22:14Come on!
00:22:15Let's go!
00:22:16Oh!
00:22:17Oh!
00:22:18Oh!
00:22:19Oh!
00:22:20Oh!
00:22:21Oh!
00:22:22Oh!
00:22:23Oh!
00:22:24Oh!
00:22:25Oh!
00:22:26Oh!
00:22:27Oh!
00:22:28Oh!
00:22:29Oh!
00:22:30Oh!
00:22:31Oh!
00:22:32Oh!
00:22:33Oh!
00:22:34Oh!
00:22:35Oh!
00:22:36Oh!
00:22:37Oh!
00:22:38Oh!
00:22:39Oh!
00:22:40Oh!
00:22:41Oh!
00:22:42Oh!
00:22:43Oh, oh, no.
00:22:44Donn, wipers won't work.
00:22:46You should have tried them before you bought it, dear.
00:22:47All right.
00:22:48All right.
00:22:49All right.
00:22:50Oh!
00:22:51Oh!
00:22:56Oh!
00:22:59Oh, oxygen.
00:23:02Sandy!
00:23:03Oh!
00:23:04Larght!
00:23:06I can't stand it anymore.
00:23:08Stop at the first place you come to and let's get out of this.
00:23:11Oh, all right, baby. Now calm down.
00:23:16No houses around here.
00:23:26That bridge.
00:23:28I've seen it before.
00:23:30But when?
00:23:32There's a cutoff a little ways ahead, just around the turn.
00:23:38There's a big house up there, I think.
00:23:41Do you know this section?
00:23:43You've been here before?
00:23:45There's the cutoff.
00:23:55Are you going to get us more lost than ever?
00:23:57No, keep going. You'll come to it.
00:23:59Two big posts and then turn the car between them.
00:24:02I didn't know myself how I knew that.
00:24:05But the closer we came, the harder my heart pounded.
00:24:08And the more frightened I got.
00:24:17There they are.
00:24:18Turn, Cliff, between those posts like you told you.
00:24:32We're going to get you there.
00:24:33You'll try and find a way to get the dead man in the air.
00:24:34With me.
00:24:35We're going to die.
00:24:36Don't you look at that one?
00:24:37We've got two heads.
00:24:38We're going to die.
00:24:39We're going to die.
00:24:40It's just two heads.
00:24:41I know that you do.
00:24:42Can't you do that?
00:24:43Just hold you?
00:24:44We're going to die.
00:24:45We're going to die.
00:24:46We're going to die.
00:24:47You will die.
00:24:48You will die.
00:24:49I know that you will die.
00:24:51We're going to die.
00:24:52Let's make a dash for it.
00:25:22There doesn't seem to be anybody home.
00:25:25Well, I wish we could get in.
00:25:52But there'll be a key someplace.
00:25:59Vince, are you going to stay out there all day?
00:26:01Come on in.
00:26:19Attach some light.
00:26:21What is this, a rib?
00:26:23How do you know so much about this place?
00:26:25It's a rib.
00:26:26Your brother Vince, the great joker.
00:26:30Hello, anybody home?
00:26:32Don't do that.
00:26:34He's cold, he's shaking.
00:26:36So are you.
00:26:37Let's find a place to dry out before you catch cold.
00:26:51It looks like they've been away a long time.
00:27:08Your being a detective comes in handy.
00:27:12What do you do?
00:27:14I don't know.
00:27:16Your being a detective comes in handy.
00:27:18In case anybody shows up, we won't get into trouble
00:27:20for crashing in like this.
00:27:21Yeah, yeah.
00:27:23Let's see what gives with the fireplace.
00:27:30That's a break.
00:27:31It's a gas log.
00:27:33Tunk yourself down. Dry out.
00:27:35Before you catch a chill.
00:27:37Oh, I am tired.
00:27:39Come on, Betty. Share the warmth.
00:27:41I'll scout the kitchen.
00:27:43Some hot tea wouldn't hurt you a bit.
00:27:47Oh, I'm tired.
00:27:49Come on, Betty. Share the warmth.
00:27:51I'll scout the kitchen.
00:27:53Some hot tea wouldn't hurt you a bit.
00:28:03I feel better already.
00:28:12Ben!
00:28:13Why don't you come over here by the fire?
00:28:33I don't know.
00:28:35I guess we've got it.
00:28:36I don't know why you're a bitch.
00:28:37I don't know why you're a girl.
00:28:38You're a bitch.
00:28:39Oh!
00:28:40You, it's all gates.
00:28:41I just want to mention her sometimes.
00:28:42I just want to mention her
00:28:43and then you started my son.
00:28:44Look, it's not enough.
00:28:45My son of a bitch at the dark night.
00:28:46It's the only two nights.
00:28:47I used my son of mine and by the fire.
00:28:48I came for the fire...
00:28:49I was about to get you,
00:29:01The End
00:29:31This is the place. This is the place, all right.
00:29:53Yeah.
00:29:58Wipe it, bro.
00:30:01Have you got it?
00:30:11What are you two doing up there?
00:30:13Keep her downstairs. Keep her downstairs.
00:30:16Down a minute, Lil.
00:30:17Watch the tea in the kitchen. I got some water boiling.
00:30:20All right, but I wish you'd stop poking around.
00:30:22Look.
00:30:38That's what he was crossed in front of that night.
00:30:44He must have been using a blowtorch.
00:30:47That's what made that bluish light.
00:30:51Made her face stand out in the reflections like a mask.
00:30:58That must be the one I propped him up in after I...
00:31:08No, don't.
00:31:10Yeah.
00:31:11Give me a chance.
00:31:12Let's cut it out.
00:31:27Dried blood.
00:31:30Someone who was hurt was in here.
00:31:33Somebody who was dead.
00:31:34Ben, Claire, come on down and have some tea.
00:31:55Ben, Claire, come on down and have some tea.
00:31:56What?
00:32:18Come on down and have some paper?
00:32:19Well, what do you mean by a Victor?
00:32:19There it is.
00:32:20Sorry there, Lord.
00:32:21You're surprised, Lord.
00:32:22I'll take these back to the kitchen.
00:32:24I'll take them.
00:32:26The rain ought to let up soon.
00:32:28Meanwhile, catch yourselves a nap.
00:32:32Close it.
00:32:34I want them to hear this.
00:32:38I'll take these back to the kitchen.
00:32:40I'll take them.
00:32:42The rain ought to let up soon.
00:32:44Meanwhile, catch yourselves a nap.
00:32:50Close it.
00:32:51I'll take them.
00:33:03Now let's hear about another dream.
00:33:05You think I lied, don't you?
00:33:07You knew how to get here from a dream, didn't you?
00:33:09You knew where the key was from a dream, didn't you?
00:33:12Oh, that fumbling around didn't fool me.
00:33:15You even knew where the light switch was from a dream?
00:33:18If you weren't Lil's brother,
00:33:19I'd push a lion's face out to the back of your head.
00:33:21But I tell you, Cliff, I tried...
00:33:22I'd hand him A for help.
00:33:23She didn't have guts enough to come clean.
00:33:25Say, Cliff, I went out to such and such a place in the canyon last night and killed a guy.
00:33:29Such and such a guy for such and such a reason.
00:33:31But I tell you...
00:33:32No, you had to cook up a dream.
00:33:33I can respect a guy no matter how rotten a crime he's committed who'll own up to it.
00:33:37I can understand a guy who'll deny it flatly.
00:33:39But a guy that'll come to someone trading on the fact he's married to his sister abuses common sense and make a fool out of him like you did to me.
00:33:45But I didn't...
00:33:46I got no use for him.
00:33:47It was lower than the lowest rat we ever brought in for knifing somebody in an alley.
00:33:51Look, I found this key in my pocket when I woke up.
00:33:54I found this button playing on my sympathy, getting me to think in terms of doctors and medical observation.
00:33:59Was that it?
00:34:00Was it?
00:34:01No, I...
00:34:02Cliff, I swear to you, I...
00:34:03Some dreams, that was.
00:34:04Well, that dream's over with.
00:34:06The babies are awake now.
00:34:07I'm gonna get the packs out of you, and whether they go any further than me or not, that's my business.
00:34:11But at least I'm gonna have them.
00:34:12How can I tell you what I don't know?
00:34:13What were you doing here that night?
00:34:14What brought you here?
00:34:15I was never here before.
00:34:16I never saw the place till the day when I came here with you and Lil.
00:34:19Who was the guy you killed?
00:34:20What was his name?
00:34:21I'm in agony already without...
00:34:22Are you gonna answer me?
00:34:23Are you?
00:34:24I can't.
00:34:25You're asking me things I can't answer.
00:34:26That's the almighty of whoever watches over us at night when we're unconscious.
00:34:30Who was the guy?
00:34:31Why did you kill him?
00:34:32Why?
00:34:33I've handled close-mouthed guys before.
00:34:35You're gonna tell me or I'm gonna have to kill you with my own hands.
00:34:41Get over there.
00:34:43What is this?
00:34:44I'll ask the questions.
00:34:45What are you two doing in here?
00:34:47You came in out of the rain.
00:34:48That suit you?
00:34:49Not yet.
00:34:50Identify yourselves and be quick about it.
00:34:54Help yourself.
00:35:05Thanks, Early.
00:35:07Headquarters Homicide Division, huh?
00:35:09How about doing a little identifying yourself?
00:35:11I'm a deputy attached to the county sheriff's office out this way.
00:35:14Torrance is the name.
00:35:15My brother-in-law.
00:35:16Vince Grayson.
00:35:17How do you deal?
00:35:18I'm detailed to keep an eye on this place.
00:35:20I was home having a little bite to eat, then I'm on my way back to the station.
00:35:22Say, how'd you get in here?
00:35:23I thought I had it locked up.
00:35:24The key was under a flower box on the porch.
00:35:26It was?
00:35:27Must have been a spare.
00:35:28I have the original.
00:35:29We didn't know there was a second one.
00:35:30What do you mean you're detailed to keep an eye on this place?
00:35:33Didn't you know?
00:35:34There was a murder committed here last week.
00:35:36It was?
00:35:37I'd like to hear more about that.
00:35:39Sounds interesting.
00:35:41Oh?
00:35:42No thanks.
00:35:43I cut them on about a month ago.
00:35:45Always, uh, carry a pack of these now.
00:35:47Nothing.
00:35:48This place belonged to a wealthy couple named Belknap.
00:35:51Husband frequently goes on long business trips.
00:35:53He was away when it happened, Mexico.
00:35:55In fact, we haven't been able to notify him yet.
00:35:58His wife was a pretty little thing.
00:35:59Was?
00:36:00Kind of flirty.
00:36:01It was a young duck she used to run around with.
00:36:02His name was Bob Clune.
00:36:03Was?
00:36:04Milkman found Mrs. Belknap about daybreak Monday, near a road that leads over here.
00:36:06Did?
00:36:07Dying.
00:36:08Unconscious.
00:36:09Both legs broken.
00:36:10Skull fractured.
00:36:11Insides all busted up.
00:36:12Cough.
00:36:13It was a young duck.
00:36:14It was a young duck.
00:36:15It was a young duck she used to run around with.
00:36:16His name was Bob Clune.
00:36:17Was?
00:36:18Milkman found Mrs. Belknap about daybreak Monday, near a road that leads over here.
00:36:20Did?
00:36:21Dying.
00:36:22It just was a young duck.
00:36:23Big old old old.
00:36:24Dog and skull fractured.
00:36:25Insides all busted up.
00:36:26Cough.
00:36:27Kind of gets him, doesn't it?
00:36:29Things like this are new to him, I guess.
00:36:30What had happened?
00:36:31A car did it to her.
00:36:33He found the car, blood, hair in the tires.
00:36:37Bob Clune's car.
00:36:42Well, then Warner, that's my chief, he come over here and have a look around.
00:36:45He finds a safe busted in a mirrored room upstairs.
00:36:48Take care for sure if you want.
00:36:49Mirrored room, huh?
00:36:51Well, that gave us a case.
00:36:53Clune knew that Belknap had a lot of doing
00:36:55that safely left for Mexico.
00:36:57He came here, started to heist it, and Mrs. Belknap caught him.
00:36:59She ran out afraid he'd kill her.
00:37:01He got his car, chased her down the road, and ran over her.
00:37:03Pretty brutal.
00:37:05All of a sudden, life was swell again.
00:37:07I don't know how to drive, I kept thinking.
00:37:09Cliff knew that, too.
00:37:13Out of smoke, kid.
00:37:15Anyway, that's a case we thought we had
00:37:17until Wednesday morning.
00:37:19Thought you had. We sent out an alarm for Clune.
00:37:21Then Wednesday, Mrs. Belknap came, too.
00:37:23The first thing she asked was,
00:37:25is Bob all right? He didn't kill Bob Clune, did he?
00:37:27He? Yeah. What she told us,
00:37:29sent us hot-footing right back here.
00:37:31She'd find Clune's body propped it behind one of those mirrored doors upstairs.
00:37:33She'd been stabbed with an awl.
00:37:35She died that night. Well,
00:37:37it went our case.
00:37:41Did she get anything on the real killer?
00:37:43Practically everything, except the guy himself.
00:37:45All that dope's over at my chief's office.
00:37:47I was just on the way over there. Are you interested?
00:37:49Oh, it's right up my alley.
00:37:51Might be able to even help you find the killer.
00:37:53Glad to have you come along.
00:37:55I'll have to tell the girls. We'll be gone for a while.
00:38:03Shouldn't let it get you, kid. This is just routine with us.
00:38:06I know. It's just that I'm not used to this kind of discussion, I guess.
00:38:10Yeah, I can understand that.
00:38:12I was a little bit squeamish myself when I first started on the job.
00:38:17They're both asleep. I left a note.
00:38:19Come on, Vince.
00:38:23Uh, I'll stay here.
00:38:25Come on, Vince.
00:38:26It's funny I didn't see anything in the L.A. papers about it, Captain Warner.
00:38:41They've been playing ball with us.
00:38:43We had an idea if the killer didn't read about us finding the bodies,
00:38:47he might come back to take a look.
00:38:49Maybe to find out what happened to Mrs. Belknap.
00:38:53Here's a description she gave us before she died.
00:38:59The killer was about 24.
00:39:01Medium build.
00:39:03Light brown, wavy hair.
00:39:05Worn rather long.
00:39:07His eyes were fixed and glassy as though he was mentally unbalanced.
00:39:12You got any pictures on them?
00:39:14Mrs. Belknap. Cloned, I mean.
00:39:16We had some photographs taken in the morgue.
00:39:18Let's have a look.
00:39:21Got any ideas?
00:39:22Nothing in particular.
00:39:23Just thought it might tie in with something at our office.
00:39:29Take a look, Vince.
00:39:30Oh, no, you might even know these people.
00:39:34It was them all right.
00:39:36The faces and the dream.
00:39:38That woman and the man I killed.
00:39:40No, I knew there was no escape.
00:39:43I was a murderer.
00:39:44I...
00:39:45I...
00:39:47I...
00:39:50Out like the light.
00:39:51What do you suppose do?
00:39:52Those death pictures?
00:39:53Things like this sure get him.
00:39:54I noticed that before.
00:39:55He's not well.
00:39:56He gets these dizzy spells now and then.
00:39:57It's only since I...
00:39:58Shut up.
00:39:59Man, that's better.
00:40:00He'll be all right.
00:40:01As soon as I get him home.
00:40:03Thanks, Warner.
00:40:04I'll be seeing you.
00:40:05Okay.
00:40:06I'll be seeing you.
00:40:07Okay.
00:40:09I'll be seeing you.
00:40:10Okay.
00:40:12I'll be seeing you.
00:40:14Okay.
00:40:19I'll be seeing you.
00:40:20He'll be all right.
00:40:21As soon as I get him home.
00:40:22Thanks, Warner.
00:40:23I'll be seeing you.
00:40:24Okay.
00:40:25Thanks, Warner.
00:40:26I'll be seeing you.
00:40:27OK.
00:40:55Thanks, Lil.
00:40:56I'm sorry the rain has spoiled a picnic.
00:40:58Will you take care of yourself?
00:41:00I'll call you.
00:41:02I'm going up with Vince for a while.
00:41:04I bet you happen to be in the loading zone.
00:41:06Smiley's on the speed.
00:41:07If he says anything, just tell him whose car it is.
00:41:25Lil's waiting downstairs.
00:41:46I'm going to take her home first before I do anything.
00:41:50I love Lil.
00:41:52I think you love Betty, but that's your business.
00:41:56All I know is I love Lil.
00:42:00Bad enough what this is going to do to her when she finds out.
00:42:04I'm going to see that she gets at least one good night's sleep
00:42:08before she does.
00:42:10What am I going to do, Cliff?
00:42:13I don't have to ask you if you're children.
00:42:15You passed out coal when you saw that photograph of some death.
00:42:20In the morning, I'm going to take you down and turn in what I know
00:42:23at my own precinct house.
00:42:25And I can pass it on to Warner.
00:42:31And then I'm going to turn in my badge.
00:42:33I'm scared stiff.
00:42:37Killers always are.
00:42:39Afterwards.
00:42:41I'll be back in the morning.
00:42:42I'll be back in the morning.

00:45:41Why didn't you let me?
00:45:45I didn't think her that way out.
00:45:50Vince! Oh, Vince!
00:45:53I didn't want to drag you into this.
00:45:55What is it? If you were in trouble so horrible that you wanted to...
00:45:59Darling, don't.
00:46:03He won't try it again, Betty. Just keep that thought.
00:46:07But why, Cliff? Why?
00:46:09Never mind now.
00:46:11You go on down.
00:46:13Take Lil home.
00:46:15But don't tell her anything about that.
00:46:17Just say that I thought it was better if I stayed here with Vince tonight.
00:46:21He's not feeling well, okay?
00:46:25Cliff, whatever it is that's come between us, promise me you'll help him.
00:46:30You go on now. And take care of Lil.
00:46:39And will you get back from my mind.
00:46:41And then we'll reach back.
00:46:43First time, my mother, will take Christmas time, but don't tell him.
00:46:45There's nothing to do about it.
00:46:47There's nothing to do about it.
00:46:49I think we're going to get back.
00:46:52I think it's on a new one.
00:46:53All right.
00:46:55Let's do this.
00:46:57Just go on.
00:46:58Let's do this.
00:46:59Let's do it with a new one.
00:47:00I'm going on.
00:47:01I'm going on.
00:47:02Let's do it with a new one.
00:47:03Clif.
00:47:19I wake yet?
00:47:20No, I can't sleep.
00:47:21Have a smoke.
00:47:26What about the arrest, Cliff?
00:47:33Cancel for now.
00:47:35The guy's willing to die like you were.
00:47:37There must be something to his story.
00:47:38I tried to tell you.
00:47:40I don't think you really knew what you were doing that night.
00:47:44I think you're telling the truth to the best of your ability.
00:47:48I'm licked.
00:47:49I'd rather not even talk about it.
00:47:52You might as well have let me jump.
00:47:53I'm dead inside already.
00:47:57Still, I can't figure why you picked that way.
00:48:01Most of them try the bridge or poison or even gas.
00:48:04Thought of that. This place hasn't any gas.
00:48:06Yeah, good thing, too.
00:48:08More houses didn't have gas, there'd be less...
00:48:10Yeah?
00:48:11It'd be darned inconvenient if an electric light bulb burns out unexpectedly.
00:48:16Happened to a fellow in the next room the other night.
00:48:18Yeah?
00:48:18Yeah, I had to use a candle.
00:48:20Same night I had the dream.
00:48:21Use a candle?
00:48:22How did you know? Were you in there with him?
00:48:24Hmm?
00:48:26No, he rapped. Stuck his head in the door.
00:48:29Wanted to know if my light had gone out, too.
00:48:32What'd you have to come in here for?
00:48:34Couldn't have told by the hall?
00:48:36I don't know.
00:48:36There's a little night light around the bin in the hall.
00:48:39Maybe that's on a different circuit.
00:48:41Still no reason for him to barge in on you.
00:48:43I'd like to hear the rest of this.
00:48:53There isn't any rest of it. I've told you all there is.
00:48:56Never mind.
00:48:58Now, who was he?
00:48:59Did you know him?
00:49:00Now, tell it to me step by step.
00:49:02Like, to a six-year-old kid.
00:49:04Okay.
00:49:06Well, the guy's name was Berg.
00:49:09He'd been living in the room about, uh,
00:49:11a whole week or ten days before that.
00:49:14Used to see him in the elevator.
00:49:16Chatted with him a couple of times in the lobby.
00:49:18All right.
00:49:20Now, tell me what happened the night his light went out.
00:49:23Well, I'd been in bed for some time.
00:49:26Reading paper like I do every night.
00:49:27Just put the lamp out and got in sleep
00:49:37when I heard this knock on the door.
00:49:42Who is it?
00:49:44Harry Berg from next door.
00:49:55Pardon me.
00:49:56Did I wake you?
00:49:57No, I just turned out the light.
00:49:59Oh, you did?
00:50:01The light in my room just went out.
00:50:03That's why I wanted to see you.
00:50:06I thought maybe the circuit was off.
00:50:08Your light working?
00:50:10I'm trying.
00:50:19Yes.
00:50:20It must have been the globe that burned out.
00:50:22Sorry I troubled you.
00:50:24Not at all.
00:50:25Well, you're tired, aren't you?
00:50:29I can see you're pretty tired.
00:50:31I'm sorry.
00:50:33Oh, really, it's all right.
00:50:35You're tired.
00:50:37And I woke you up.
00:50:39It's all right.
00:50:39I'm sorry.
00:50:42How about you?
00:50:44I guess he kind of had a one-track mind.
00:50:49Used to mumbling to himself, maybe.
00:50:51Anyway, he finally closed the door and went away,
00:50:53and I dropped off to sleep.
00:50:56Now, wait a minute.
00:50:58Are you sure the door closed after him?
00:51:00Did you see it closed?
00:51:01Did you hear it closed?
00:51:02did it go like this did it make a click or did it go like this without a click
00:51:13i can see you're having trouble giving me a definite answer you don't remember it either
00:51:19way oh what difference does it make door must have closed he went away and i went to sleep
00:51:25he was standing there with a candle in his hand and he kept saying you're tired so what
00:51:32eyes fixed and glassy as though he were mentally unbalanced what i was just remembering something
00:51:42in the deathbed statement mrs belknap gave to warner you uh you say you chatted with this

00:57:41so
00:57:50so
00:57:52so
00:57:54Oh, my God.
00:58:24How'd you get here?
00:58:32You showed me the way, didn't you?
00:58:34You remembered coming here?
00:58:36You didn't think I would, did you?
00:58:38You couldn't have.
00:58:40Then how'd I get here? You explain it.
00:58:43How long have you been in here, like this?
00:58:46Since shortly before dark.
00:58:48I got in while you were at the funeral.
00:58:50Who'd you bring with you?
00:58:52Just this.
00:58:56You remembered the drive up?
00:58:58You couldn't have.
00:59:00You had the look.
00:59:02The typical look.
00:59:03Of the hypnotized subject?
00:59:05I faked it.
00:59:06I was holding a thumbtack pressed into each palm the whole way,
00:59:09so I wouldn't go under no matter how good you were at it.
00:59:11Then why did you do everything I directed?
00:59:13When I put the knife in your hand and told you what to do, you took it.
00:59:15And I thought maybe you'd pay off to keep me quiet.
00:59:18And then if I balked, I figured I'd get a knife in my back.
00:59:21But what happened?
00:59:22What went wrong inside?
00:59:24I let you out of the car, told you what to do?
00:59:27I dropped a knife somewhere in the dark.
00:59:29But I came up anyway.
00:59:31Clune was stealing your dough and about to run out with your wife. Wasn't that it?
00:59:35Yes.
00:59:36Yes.
00:59:37But how...
00:59:39I would have been killed by Clune, only your wife handed me a boar by mistake.
00:59:43And I had to use it to save myself.
00:59:45Oh, that explains how she got out of the house.
00:59:48I had to finish her with his car.
00:59:51I might have known you were under imperfect control.
00:59:54Oh, your control is perfect enough, Belknap.
00:59:57Don't let that worry you.
00:59:58You still have the knack.
01:00:00But you just said...
01:00:01Yeah, and you fell for it.
01:00:02I didn't know what I was doing when I came up here to do your dirty job.
01:00:06I'd have never found you, but I saw your picture in the paper as a husband of the murdered woman and recognized you as bird.
01:00:11I didn't come here to be paid off for what I did.
01:00:14Even though your will is stronger than mine, you'd know you couldn't make me commit murder.
01:00:18I killed that man in self-defense.
01:00:21But I'll never be able to clear myself in the eyes of the law.
01:00:25Ever.
01:00:26I'm going to make you pay for doing that to me.
01:00:28Now.
01:00:31This way.
01:00:32Wait.
01:00:33Don't do that.
01:00:34Alive, maybe I can do something for you.
01:00:37I'll give you money.
01:00:38I'll get you out of the country.
01:00:39No one will know.
01:00:40My conscience will know.
01:00:41I've got an honest man's conscience in the murderer's body.
01:00:44You should have let me alone, Belknap.
01:00:47That was your mistake.
01:00:48Wait.
01:00:49One minute.
01:00:50Give me one minute to make you see.
01:00:52Just sixty seconds.
01:00:54You don't want to kill me.
01:00:56Those two were plotting against me for months.
01:00:58I knew it.
01:00:59That's why I planned the whole thing.
01:01:00I had to do it.
01:01:01Don't you understand?
01:01:02You can understand that.
01:01:04Stop it, Belknap.
01:01:05Just a few seconds, please.
01:01:07You don't want to kill me.
01:01:09Look up.
01:01:10Look up.
01:01:11Please.
01:01:12See?
01:01:13Just thirty seconds.
01:01:15And I'm sure I can make you understand.
01:01:18Just a few seconds.
01:01:20Shall we take him now?
01:01:22We've got to let him finish.
01:01:24We've got to have proof for a jury that he can actually put him under.
01:01:27Just fifteen seconds.
01:01:29That's all.
01:01:30That isn't much, is it?
01:01:32Fifteen seconds.
01:01:34Killing me won't calm your conscience.
01:01:36You don't really want to kill me, Grayson.
01:01:41Drop your gun.
01:01:43It's too heavy.
01:01:45Drop the gun, Grayson.
01:01:48Drop it.
01:01:49You're too tired to hold it up.
01:01:52Just drop it.
01:01:54You'll feel so much better.
01:01:56Just let go of it.
01:01:58Better still.
01:02:00Give the gun to me, Grayson.
01:02:03You're tired.
01:02:05You're tired.
01:02:06You're tired.
01:02:12That horrible curtain closed over me again.
01:02:15I couldn't find it.
01:02:18I knew he was taking me somewhere.
01:02:21I didn't want to go.
01:02:23But my brain was handcuffed.
01:02:26And I was walking through another nightmare.
01:02:31There's nothing wrong to get up.
01:02:34Oh, right?
01:02:36Don't let govem적assee.
01:02:39Hey.
01:02:40Yol nochmal, Culley.
01:02:43P konkngang, Culley.
01:02:44Oh, he knew you'd come.
01:02:46Have a missing visit.
01:02:47And get out.
01:02:48You mean that the other people say he was asking me.
01:02:50That there may not be no matter.
01:02:51And he could stop having to go up there.
01:02:52To be sure he kept with my vision,
01:02:54That turned away is to be fair.
01:02:55Where is it safe?
01:02:56You mean that he is Iggy,
01:02:58It's safe?
01:03:00He's got him out in the car by the garage.
01:03:30He's got him out.
01:04:00He's got him out.
01:04:30Of those two people at the Belknap house, I have no chance.
01:04:40I see no other way out.
01:04:49Silent Vincent Grayson.
01:04:56Silent Vincent Grayson.
01:05:08Silent Vincent Grayson.
01:05:20Silent Vincent Grayson.
