00:03:00You
00:03:30You
00:04:00You
00:04:15It's in there number nine
00:04:30You
00:04:52Don't stand around going home all of you what happened constable well has been another murder
00:05:00There's nothing you can do. I told you to go home go on
00:05:08Well, just a minute miss
00:05:10Are you alone?
00:05:12You work out at the Warren home, don't you?
00:05:14That's nearly two miles from here. You'd better hurry if you're gonna get there before dark
00:05:18You
00:05:27Got any ideas who did it Constable? Yeah
00:05:31Same fella did the first one same fella did the second one, but who he is
00:05:35I don't know somebody in this town somebody we all know somebody we see every day
00:05:39Might be me
00:05:41Might be you
00:05:42Well, how could I mean I was here at my desk anybody be quiet
00:05:48I
00:06:03Didn't know you was called dr. Perry I wasn't as I was leaving the office
00:06:08I heard about the murder and thought I'd drop in and see if there's anything I could do. Well, there ain't unless of course
00:06:14You're a good enough doctor to uncork a miracle and bring the dead back to life
00:06:18I don't think I'm that good
00:06:20There's no sense in you going up. She's dead. All right, dr. Harvey's up there. And that's what he says. She's dead
00:06:27Well in that event constable, I certainly can't do her any harm
00:06:36Hello Barry
00:06:39There's nothing for you to do unless you just want to do some sightseeing. How was she killed strangled?
00:06:44She was dead when we got here, who was she that lame girl that worked over Nelson's
00:06:53Awful
00:06:55She was just in my office last week, did she pay her bill or was this her way of getting out of it? I
00:07:02Haven't enough experience to make that sort of joke perhaps not. Dr. Perry. I'll run along. Oh just a minute
00:07:08I hear you were over to see mr. Stover last night. Yes, I was don't you know, he's my patient
00:07:14I only went because they called me because they told me that you'd refused to go until morning
00:07:18I thought it might be serious. You've got a lot to learn young fella
00:07:22You've only been here a short time. I've been here for a good many years
00:07:25If I answered all the calls as it came along, I wouldn't get any sleep at all
00:07:29Well, that's why I think there's room for two doctors in this town
00:07:31I can so but let the competition be on an open plain ethics to get what I mean
00:07:36Perry if ever I'm called on an emergency and you happen to be sleeping I intend to go
00:07:41That's very noble and ambitious
00:07:43Don't let anything discourage you nothing will oh
00:07:47by the way
00:07:49You might like to see what this store did to that prescription you wrote last night
00:08:13I
00:08:21Gotta make some calls Helen. I'll take you to the crossroads
00:08:25Were you at the hotel
00:08:28Wasn't a very nice thing to have happened in your afternoon off
00:08:32I've been pretty busy lately. I haven't had much of a chance to drop in and see you
00:08:37But I've been thinking about you a great deal
00:08:40Have many family Helen no one else to worry about you
00:08:44And I got to wondering just how long you were going on like this. I
00:08:48Mean doing the work you you're doing at the Warrens
00:08:51You wanted to be a nurse a teacher
00:08:56You mean you're going to give up that with out making an effort to get your voice back again
00:09:03Yes, I know Helen you did see a doctor once
00:09:06That was a long time ago. It might have discovered a lot since then
00:09:11And there are specialists in Boston now I
00:09:15Don't want to build your hopes up Helen it seems such a shame to give up so easily
00:09:23You'd rather I wouldn't talk about it, wouldn't you?
00:09:27All right, I won't
00:09:29You know the words of that you
00:09:46Dr. Perry
00:10:00Oh
00:10:01Freddy car sick. Dr. Perry bad. They didn't send you for me today. Oh, I sent me for dr
00:10:07Harvey, but I want you to come I'm afraid I can't help me out this time Freddy
00:10:12You don't understand your father's dr. Harvey's patient. We'll have to try and find him for you
00:10:16I'll call him as soon as I get home. Oh, please. Dr. Perry you come I want you to come
00:10:23All right, come on get in you go up and have a look I'll run you home afterwards
00:10:27Afraid you'll be late
00:10:33You sure you'll be all right you go straight home won't you?
00:10:57You
00:11:27You
00:11:57I
00:12:27I
00:12:57I
00:13:27Oh
00:13:29Oh
00:13:55It's you thank heavens
00:13:57They phoned us about the murder for a while, I thought it might have been you
00:14:07It's terrible that's what it is
00:14:10horrible
00:14:11As if it isn't bad enough murdering people but all these defenseless women
00:14:17First there was the girl with a scar on her face
00:14:20Then that poor simple-minded creature
00:14:22And now this cripple it seems like
00:14:25I guess you've had enough for one afternoon
00:14:27Now I'll get your wet shoes off before you catch your death. You'd better get up to mrs. Warren straight away
00:14:33She's raising a rumpus with that nurse of hers again won't even allow her in the room now
00:14:39She sent down word for you to go up the moment you came in
00:14:43Is that someone at the front door?
00:14:52I
00:15:22Closed that window and the storm started I'll get a hammer and fix that shutter
00:15:45It was him Carlton bad dog
00:15:53Oh
00:15:55Out all day and only home in time to get under my feet and break mine
00:16:01You're a no-good lover that's what you are
00:16:04Murders loose and you're out courting the neighbor's dog
00:16:11Carlton Carlton you deserve a good beating
00:16:16Guess I better dry you first
00:16:19You'll catch a death of cold that's what you will
00:16:23If you think this is all I've got to do you're mistaken
00:16:28I think I better fix that window first. I hope that Carlton is all that came in
00:16:36I won't need you. You better get up to mrs. Warren
00:16:48You
00:17:18You
00:17:48Oh
00:18:19You haven't you gone into mrs. Warren yet hurry along will you?
00:18:40It's about time you got here mrs. Warren's been asking for you all afternoon. She won't let me do anything for her
00:18:45Oh, no, I'm ordered to sit out in the hallway
00:18:48Why in the world am I kept on here to nurse someone who can't stand the sight of me?
00:18:52But then I can't stand the sight of her either
00:18:55I've nursed some queer ones in my time, but she's got them all beat
00:18:59She's sly too even with her eyes shut. She seems to be watching like an evil spirit
00:19:04But get in there before she gets herself into another tantrum
00:19:15You
00:19:45You
00:20:16I
00:20:18Got it before he got me
00:20:21Tiger I mean
00:20:24I was as good as any man
00:20:27You're not only late, but you're playing games. Why are you so late?
00:20:35Never mind, never mind. Come here. I
00:20:38Hoped you were never coming back
00:20:41You'd run away
00:20:45Leave this house tonight, you know, what's good for you
00:20:51You understand who's there
00:21:02I told you to sit in the hall. Why must you spy on me?
00:21:05I'm not spying on you. It's time for your medicine Helen to give me my medicine
00:21:09I don't know what I'm being paid for. You're being paid to sit in the hall. That's all you're good for get out
00:21:36That was the constable at the front door professor he wants to see you I've asked him to wait in the living room. Thank you
00:21:46Put these in order with you. Yes, sir
00:21:51Constable yes, professor Warren. I'll be with you in just a moment. I'm glad
00:21:56Get these ready as quickly as possible. Yes
00:21:59Hello constable
00:22:01Wouldn't you like to sit down? Oh, no. No. Thanks. You sure got a lot of interesting things here
00:22:06What's this? Yeah, thanks like
00:22:09Do you mean to say you can write a whole book about?
00:22:12Little stuff like this. Yeah
00:22:15What did you want to see me about constable?
00:22:18Well, I just wanted to see you
00:22:21Well, I just wanted to see you
00:22:24You know, there's been another murder
00:22:27Yes, so I've heard
00:22:29What I want to say is that we've traced the murderer to this vicinity
00:22:34Are you certain? Yes, that's why I've come here
00:22:38That's why I'm asking everyone to be quiet
00:22:41I'm asking everyone to be quiet
00:22:44I'm asking everyone to be quiet
00:22:47I'm asking everyone to be quiet
00:22:49That's why I've come here
00:22:51That's why I'm asking everyone to be careful
00:22:54Keep your doors and windows locked tonight. Well, I'll say that your orders are carried out constable
00:22:59I'm especially worried about
00:23:01That girl who works for you
00:23:04Helen yes
00:23:06You see every one of those girls murdered had something the matter with her something wrong
00:23:11Oh, you mean some sort of an affliction? Yes. Now my hunch is that this murderer
00:23:15Whoever he is is understand exactly what you mean
00:23:18And I assure you that I shall be especially careful about her
00:23:21As a matter of fact, I'll see to it that somebody is with her at all times good
00:23:30Oh, you scared the life out of me Steve. I didn't hear you come in
00:23:40Don't stop typing
00:23:41How many times have I asked you not to see me when I'm working?
00:23:44So embarrassing
00:23:47Please leave me alone. I can't stay away from you
00:23:51Now, when am I going to see you? Where?
00:23:54You're not going to see me at all if you don't let me finish this
00:23:57But I'm so bored. I don't know what to do with myself
00:24:02Steven you're going to get us into trouble now, please go
00:24:07No
00:24:08No
00:24:10Then I'll just have to finish this someplace else
00:24:15Oh, Miss Blanche
00:24:17Yes, Mr. Warren
00:24:22Steven
00:24:34You remember my stepbrother, don't you?
00:24:35I sure do. I haven't seen you in a long time, Mr. Warren
00:24:38Heard you were back. How did you leave things over in Europe?
00:24:41I left everything in order. They like you too
00:24:44Paris must be quite a town
00:24:46Yes, it is
00:24:48Lots of beautiful women
00:24:49From what I've seen, they're not so bad here either
00:24:52Always wanted to go there myself, but I've been married since I was 16
00:24:56Never had a chance
00:24:58Must be pretty exciting
00:25:00From what I understand, it's been pretty exciting here for you too
00:25:02Oh yes, it has been
00:25:04I wish there was something I could do to help
00:25:05Don't think there is
00:25:06Steven, the constable wants to know if anyone left the house today
00:25:11Nothing personal, I assure you. I've been asked to check up on everybody
00:25:15I haven't been out all day, constable
00:25:17That's all I wanted to know. Thank you very much
00:25:19Well, good night then. Don't forget to lock your doors
00:25:21I won't
00:25:26His stepbrother gave him an accusing look
00:25:28Professor, could I see you for a moment, please?
00:25:39Would you mind calling him? He doesn't know me
00:25:42You're not afraid of him, are you?
00:25:44I'm sure he loves policemen
00:25:46I'm not in uniform
00:25:49All right, Carlton. Go away
00:25:53Well, good night
00:25:55Good night
00:26:07Anything wrong, Albert?
00:26:10Professor?
00:26:11I just stopped by to tell him the same thing I told you in town today, Oates
00:26:15See anything on your way home?
00:26:16No
00:26:20Well, good night, Professor
00:26:24Good night
00:26:30Your hat, Oates
00:26:31Oh, yeah. Keep forgetting
00:26:33Come along, Carlton
00:26:39Evening, Helen
00:26:44Helen, I want to talk to you a moment
00:26:49Now, Helen, I don't want to frighten you
00:26:51But because of what happened in town
00:26:53we have to be especially careful for the next few days
00:26:57If you should see anything outside of this house
00:26:59or even in it that makes you suspicious
00:27:01I want you to let me know
00:27:03See that someone else does your outside work
00:27:05You stay in the house
00:27:07And don't hesitate to come to me at any hour if you need help
00:27:11Now, you may go up to my stepmother if you wish
00:27:21Helen
00:27:23Remember what I told you
00:27:25Don't trust anyone
00:27:50Leave the fire alone, Helen
00:27:54Pack your things
00:27:56Leave this house tonight
00:28:02Too many trees
00:28:04Stretch out their branches
00:28:07Knock the window
00:28:09Try to get in
00:28:12When it's dark, they move
00:28:14I've seen them
00:28:17Creeping up to the house
00:28:21Go away, my dear
00:28:26You're such a little girl
00:28:28I want to take care of you
00:28:31If you want to leave the house, as I ask you to
00:28:35You must sleep in this room tonight
00:28:39Don't be afraid of me
00:28:41I want to take care of you
00:28:45You see
00:28:47You're not safe, my dear
00:28:51Leave me alone
00:28:53You're worse than a nurse barker
00:28:56Stop fussing
00:28:58If you won't leave the house as I ask you
00:29:00The least you can do is to leave me alone
00:29:02Go over there and sit down
00:29:05Sit down
00:29:20Sit down
00:29:51Stay where you are
00:29:53I don't need your help
00:30:03Mind your own business
00:30:20Helen
00:30:22What is it?
00:30:27Mother must be worse
00:30:29Get Albert
00:30:50Give me the brandy, Helen
00:30:54It's empty, is there any more?
00:30:56Give me the ether, then
00:30:59Don't stand there, give me the ether
00:31:21Why did you have to come back, Stephen?
00:31:24Why didn't you stay in Europe?
00:31:26Shh, Mother
00:31:28There's always trouble when you come, Stephen
00:31:32Always trouble
00:31:35Why didn't you stay away?
00:31:38I want Dr. Parry
00:31:40Dr. Parry?
00:31:42Yes
00:31:44You said you didn't want him here anymore
00:31:46You and Albert decided that
00:31:47I want Dr. Parry
00:31:49Mother, we've given him a chance
00:31:51You haven't improved any
00:31:53I'll never improve with that ancient Dr. Harvey
00:31:57Stupid girl
00:31:59It's all your fault
00:32:02You brought on this attack
00:32:05She deliberately refused to let me have my spectacle case
00:32:09Mother
00:32:11Helen wouldn't have any reason for refusing
00:32:13She's a woman
00:32:14Mother
00:32:16Helen wouldn't have any reason
00:32:18for refusing to give it to you
00:32:20Never mind, never mind
00:32:22We won't talk about it anymore
00:32:24Get out now, both of you
00:32:27Go and call Dr. Parry
00:32:34Will you be all right?
00:32:36After all these years
00:32:38you ask me if I'll be all right
00:32:40Oh, Stephen
00:32:42Get out, take that ether with you
00:32:45Well, Mother
00:32:47I can see that you're feeling better already
00:32:49I don't like that ether
00:32:51I don't think it does any good
00:32:53But Dr. Parry and Dr. Harvey explained to you
00:32:55that taken in small quantities
00:32:57it's a stimulant rather than a depressant
00:32:59It did help you, didn't it?
00:33:01It's been another murder, hasn't it?
00:33:05Nobody told me
00:33:08Nobody had to
00:33:09I always know everything
00:33:24Oh, Blanche
00:33:36Oh, Blanche
00:33:38Oh, Blanche, if you don't come here
00:33:40I'll come over
00:33:42Yes, I'll come over
00:33:44Yes, I'll come over
00:33:57Hail, hands I love
00:33:59Beside the chalimorph
00:34:03Now, now
00:34:08Oh, Stephen, I'm so unhappy
00:34:12Stephen
00:34:16Where were you this afternoon?
00:34:18Why?
00:34:21Those are mine
00:34:23I know
00:34:26So you've unmasked me
00:34:28Well, I don't know whether I've unmasked you or not
00:34:30But I don't know why you told the constable
00:34:32you weren't out this afternoon
00:34:34when obviously you were
00:34:35I'll be completely honest with you
00:34:37I didn't want to discuss it in front of anyone
00:34:39Well, how stupid of you
00:34:41If anyone had seen you
00:34:43you would have made it very awkward for all of us
00:34:45Where were you?
00:34:47Professor, I...
00:34:49Blanche, would you be good enough to leave us?
00:35:01Let's stop sparring
00:35:03You're angry because I took Blanche out
00:35:05You're angry because since I've been home
00:35:07Blanche and I have gotten to
00:35:09know each other pretty well
00:35:11You know, Stephen, you always did smirk
00:35:13even when you were a child
00:35:15It's one of the things my father disliked about you
00:35:18He was my father, too
00:35:21You know, I'm inclined to think
00:35:23that father was disappointed in both of us
00:35:25Neither of us fitted his concept
00:35:27of what a real man should be
00:35:29A gun-toting, hard-drinking, tough-living,
00:35:31God-fearing citizen
00:35:33He always used to say
00:35:35that the weak survive, the weak die
00:35:38How wrong he was, Albert
00:35:40Because you and I,
00:35:43the meek,
00:35:46have inherited the earth
00:35:50I'll be honest with you, Stephen
00:35:52I don't like you
00:35:54I never have
00:35:56I've never trusted you
00:35:58And you're quite right when you say
00:36:00that I don't like this...
00:36:02this interest you have in Blanche
00:36:03Now, I'll tell you something else
00:36:05I've had the responsibility of your mother
00:36:07Your mother, not mine, for years
00:36:09I'm tired and strained
00:36:11Therefore, I think we should make a decision
00:36:13Either you make up your mind
00:36:15to go away permanently
00:36:17or, if you like, you stay and let me go
00:36:18Helen
00:36:31Helen
00:36:33You look as though you've lost your best friend
00:36:35You've got nothing to worry about
00:36:37If anybody tried their funny business on you,
00:36:39I'd soon suck them in the jaw
00:36:41Look at it this way, Helen
00:36:43Murder's like a million-dollar lottery
00:36:45Sure it is, listen to me
00:36:46You pick up the newspaper
00:36:48You see someone's picture
00:36:50who's won a million dollars
00:36:52You pick up another paper
00:36:54There's a picture of someone who's been murdered
00:36:56There's never me
00:36:58There's never you
00:37:00It's always somebody else, isn't it?
00:37:02There's safety in numbers, Helen
00:37:04There's Oates and me
00:37:06and the professor and Stephen
00:37:08We'll look after you
00:37:10And there's Carlton, too
00:37:12Shouldn't count too much on him
00:37:14And there's Nurse Barker
00:37:16She'd be as good as any man
00:37:18In fact, sometimes I think she is a man
00:37:22In case you're interested
00:37:27There's someone at the front door
00:37:37Who is it?
00:37:39It's me, Helen
00:37:40What do you want?
00:37:42I was called to see Mrs. Warren
00:37:44It's Dr. Perry. Was he called?
00:37:49I suppose they called Dr. Harvey first
00:37:52You mean Mrs. Warren asked for me?
00:37:54Well, I've got me a patient now
00:37:59I'm glad I was called, Helen
00:38:01I'm glad I was called
00:38:03I'm glad I was called
00:38:05I'm glad I was called
00:38:07I'm glad I was called
00:38:08I'm glad I was called, Helen
00:38:10I've wanted to have a long talk with you
00:38:13And I'm going to before I leave
00:38:19How are you, Dr. Perry?
00:38:21I'm fine. How are you, Mrs. Warren?
00:38:23Did you know my husband?
00:38:26No, I didn't, Mrs. Warren
00:38:28Of course not
00:38:30He died years before you came here
00:38:33You're a little like him
00:38:34Firm step, strong hand
00:38:38Good eyes
00:38:40Thank you
00:38:42I know you were very fond of him
00:38:44He told me I wasn't as beautiful as his first wife
00:38:47But I was a much better shot
00:38:53The only kind of beauty he had any respect for
00:38:55Was strength
00:38:57And he had two sons
00:38:59Both weaklings
00:39:01They didn't want to marry
00:39:02They hated guns and hunting
00:39:05He used to run away from them, Dr. Perry
00:39:08Well, he got his release from a bottle
00:39:12And he died as he lived
00:39:14Happily, extravagantly
00:39:17I'm sorry
00:39:19Oh, no, you mustn't be
00:39:21You mustn't be sorry for him
00:39:24You should try to get some rest, Mrs. Warren
00:39:26Yes, I know, I talk too much
00:39:28I talk too much
00:39:30Get Helen out of this house
00:39:32Why?
00:39:34Because I know you love her
00:39:37Take her away
00:39:39Promise me you'll take her away from here
00:39:41Very well, I promise
00:39:43Take her away tonight
00:39:46It's money you need
00:39:48I'll get it for you
00:39:50Oh, oh
00:39:54Oh, oh
00:39:56Oh, oh
00:39:57Oh, oh
00:40:04Get me the ether, Helen
00:40:13Did you get it?
00:40:15I'll go ask Nurse Barker
00:40:21Come in, please, Nurse
00:40:23Will you get me the ether? Helen can't seem to find it
00:40:26It was used about an hour ago
00:40:28Where did you put it?
00:40:30Let's have another look
00:40:38It's gone now
00:40:40And you're the only people who've been in this room today
00:40:44Unless, Mrs. Warren
00:40:46You took the ether, Barker
00:40:48Why? I did no such thing
00:40:50You always make me sit outside
00:40:52Maybe Professor Warren will know about it
00:40:54I'll go and see him
00:41:01Here, where's my brandy?
00:41:03I finished it for your own good
00:41:06Well, I wish you'd stop doing things for my own good
00:41:10With everything that's happening in this house
00:41:12It's better that you keep your wits about you
00:41:14I'm never more witty than when I've had a little nip
00:41:16I see better, I hear better
00:41:18And I feel much better
00:41:19Oates, would you mind coming out a moment
00:41:21And bring your hat and coat?
00:41:23There it is
00:41:25Emma, let's be serious for a minute
00:41:27I want you to stay awake until I get back
00:41:29Keep an eye on Helen, I won't be long
00:41:31I could keep a much better eye on Helen
00:41:33If I'd had a little nip
00:41:38I can't understand
00:41:40Ether was used less than two hours ago
00:41:42Stephen used it and he said Helen gave it to him
00:41:44Unfortunately, I have no other supply
00:41:46Oates
00:41:48I'm afraid you'll have to go into the village
00:41:50For some ether
00:41:52It's stormy out, Albert. Does it have to be done?
00:41:54If it didn't have to be done, I wouldn't ask you
00:41:56All right, all right, I'll go
00:41:58You won't find any in the village
00:42:00I tried to get some this morning
00:42:02I have to go all the way to Morristown
00:42:04It'll take hours
00:42:06Well, I'm sorry, it's an emergency
00:42:08We have to have it
00:42:10Yes, you're sorry, but I have to go
00:42:12You should have some other stimulant at hand
00:42:14In the meantime
00:42:16Mrs. Oates
00:42:18Yes, sir
00:42:20Come along with me while I get a bottle of brandy
00:42:22Yes, sir
00:42:45Oh, dear, no, I can't do it
00:42:47I can't do it
00:42:49I can't do it
00:42:51I can't do it
00:42:53I can't do it
00:42:55I can't do it
00:42:57I can't do it
00:42:59I can't do it
00:43:01I can't do it
00:43:03I can't do it
00:43:05I can't do it
00:43:07I can't do it
00:43:09I can't do it
00:43:11I can't do it
00:43:13I can't do it
00:43:15I've done it
00:43:17Did you bring a mat?
00:43:19No, sir
00:43:21Well, never mind, perhaps I have one
00:43:23Here we are
00:43:26I think it rolled over there, sir
00:43:46I'll take it this time, Mrs. Oates
00:43:55Your key, sir
00:44:04Oh, my
00:44:06Did I put one over on him?
00:44:08Easy as taking candy from a baby
00:44:11Take a tip from me, Helen
00:44:12If you ever carry the candle to the cellar for the professor
00:44:15Don't you fancy a bottle of his fine old brandy?
00:44:17Just throw the candle to one side
00:44:19Accidentally, on purpose, of course
00:44:22Anything can happen in the dark
00:44:25Presto
00:44:31Now, I'll just wipe this off
00:44:33And you can take it to Dr. Parry
00:44:43Helen
00:44:45Come into the den, I want to talk to you
00:44:47Mrs. Warren's asleep
00:44:50Professor Warren's with her now
00:44:55I've been thinking things over
00:44:57And Mrs. Warren's right
00:44:59You should come with me tonight
00:45:01You can stay at my mother's place
00:45:03Until we can make arrangements to go to Boston
00:45:05My mother will like you
00:45:09I don't want to frighten you, Helen
00:45:10But you heard Mrs. Warren a while ago
00:45:12Her mind's growing steadily worse
00:45:14And I'm afraid she may become violent
00:45:16She seems obsessed by the idea
00:45:18That you get out of this house
00:45:20And there may be something back of it
00:45:25You'll go with me tonight
00:45:27There are doctors in Boston
00:45:29Who know all about your case
00:45:31I want to take you there
00:45:33Helen
00:45:37When I left you this afternoon
00:45:38I dropped in at the Faber's
00:45:40They have a guest visiting them
00:45:42From your hometown
00:45:44Mrs. Lindstrom
00:45:46Do you know her?
00:45:52Well
00:45:55She told me a story about a girl
00:45:58A girl was on her way home from school one day
00:46:02She had good news for her parents
00:46:06When she wasn't far from her home
00:46:08She heard a fire engine rushing down the street
00:46:11She started to run
00:46:13When she turned the corner
00:46:15She saw that it was her home that was in flames
00:46:17There was a crowd outside
00:46:19She wanted to scream herself
00:46:21But somehow she couldn't
00:46:23She tried to rush into the house
00:46:25But was held back because it was hopeless
00:46:27So
00:46:29By being able to do one thing to help
00:46:31She saw her mother and father burned to death
00:46:39I'm sorry Helen but I had to do it
00:46:43It's only because I wanted to help you
00:46:45Go over everything that happened that day
00:46:47Have the courage to see it all again
00:46:49And by not blocking it out of your mind
00:46:51You may find your voice again
00:46:56I don't like being an outsider
00:46:58And you shouldn't either
00:47:00I know what I'm talking about because
00:47:02I'm an outsider here myself
00:47:04A lot of people don't want me
00:47:06They want me to quit
00:47:08Because there's at least one person
00:47:10Who wants me here
00:47:12And that's good enough for me
00:47:14There's one person who wants you to talk
00:47:16And that ought to be good enough for you
00:47:18Look at me
00:47:20Look at me
00:47:22You remember how wonderful it was when you had a voice
00:47:24When you could say hello or thank you
00:47:26When you could yell back at someone
00:47:28Who started picking at you
00:47:30I do it all the time
00:47:32You look at me as though you don't believe it
00:47:34But I know I'm right
00:47:36Try to talk
00:47:38Excuse me
00:47:42My mother is asking for you, Helen
00:47:48I'll speak to Professor Warren about your leaving
00:47:52What is this about Helen leaving?
00:47:55I'll discuss it with your brother
00:47:57Is it something you can't discuss with me?
00:47:59Why is she leaving?
00:48:01Where is she going?
00:48:03Well, I've been doing a great deal of thinking about Helen
00:48:06I know her condition is due to shock
00:48:08I'm sure a new mental therapy can restore her voice
00:48:11I'd like to take her to Boston
00:48:13Don't you think you're taking a tremendous responsibility
00:48:15Building up her hopes
00:48:17Making her think there's some miracle in store for her
00:48:19It's up to her, not you
00:48:22What you're doing is cruel and foolish
00:48:25That girl is adjusted to her affliction
00:48:27I think you should let it go at that
00:48:29Suppose you let me mind my own business
00:48:32It so happens I don't think much of your business, Dr. Perry
00:48:35If there is a solution to Helen's problem
00:48:36I think that solution ought to be in the hands
00:48:38Of someone other than a country doctor
00:48:40The only thing that keeps me from cracking you in the jaw
00:48:42Is the almost certain possibility
00:48:44That would break your neck
00:48:46What's the trouble, doctor?
00:48:48The good country doctor, having lost his wits
00:48:51Is about to resort to his fists
00:48:53Professor Warren, I know you're interested in Helen's welfare
00:48:57I've told you what I've learned about her
00:48:59And I've decided it's for her best interest
00:49:01That she leave here tonight
00:49:03Tonight?
00:49:04Yes, she can stay at my mother's place
00:49:06Until we can take her to Boston
00:49:08For the examination first thing in the morning
00:49:10Well, doctor, you know that I agree with you
00:49:13About the element of hope that you have for Helen
00:49:15But what's your reason
00:49:17For suddenly making her leave tonight?
00:49:19Well, Mrs. Warren feels
00:49:22That she's in danger here
00:49:28Well, surely you don't take
00:49:30The ramblings of a sick woman seriously
00:49:32I take most things seriously
00:49:34Doctor, there are many other considerations
00:49:36Helen needs this position
00:49:38It's her only means of support
00:49:40No family, it won't be easy for her
00:49:42I've thought of all those things, professor
00:49:44I...
00:49:46I intend to take care of her
00:49:48Oh, I see
00:49:50Well, I'm very glad for you
00:49:52And for her
00:49:54You're a sentimentalist, doctor
00:49:56Tell me, are your humanitarian instincts
00:49:58Restricted only to people with serious afflictions?
00:50:00You're very insolent
00:50:02It's Dr. Parry
00:50:10Excuse me
00:50:18Hello
00:50:20Yes, he is
00:50:22Just a moment
00:50:25It's for you, doctor
00:50:27Thank you
00:50:30Hello?
00:50:34Helen
00:50:36The Wilson boy is very sick
00:50:38I have to go over there right away
00:50:40Now here's their phone number
00:50:42You can pack where I'm going
00:50:44If you need anything before I get back
00:50:46Have Mrs. Oates call me
00:50:48I'll be back as soon as I can
00:50:53Now be sure and bar the door behind me
00:50:55And don't let anyone in but me
00:50:56And don't let anyone in but me
00:51:56Helen
00:52:26Helen
00:52:56Will thou obey him
00:52:58Serve him
00:53:00Love, honor
00:53:02And keep him in sickness and in health
00:53:05And forsaking all others
00:53:07Keep thee only unto him
00:53:09So long as ye both shall live
00:53:13Signify by saying I do
00:53:16I do
00:53:18I do
00:53:20I do
00:53:22I do
00:53:24I do
00:53:27Say I do
00:53:31Say I do
00:53:35Say I do
00:53:39Say I do
00:53:43Say I do
00:53:47Say I do
00:53:51Say I do
00:53:52Say I do
00:53:56Say I do
00:54:00Say I do
00:54:11What's the matter Helen?
00:54:13Don't you feel well?
00:54:19I understand you're going to leave us
00:54:20Well I don't know whether Dr. Parry is right or wrong
00:54:23But I agree that you should have that chance to go to Boston
00:54:26And I want you to understand
00:54:28If things don't work out satisfactorily
00:54:30That you're always welcome to come here
00:54:32Now you run along
00:54:50I'll be back
00:55:12I like to see women cry
00:55:13Men like to see women cry. It makes them feel superior.
00:55:19Steve, I'm very unhappy and upset.
00:55:25You dramatize everything, Blanche.
00:55:27We've been very happy. At least, I have.
00:55:31I don't like your attitude at all.
00:55:33I'm sorry.
00:55:36It's just I'm making trouble between you and your stepbrother.
00:55:40I don't like to hide anything I feel.
00:55:44You know how I feel about you.
00:55:46That's very sweet of you, Blanche.
00:55:48But are you sure you're telling me the truth?
00:55:50The truth about what?
00:55:52Just that I think you're uncomfortable because of your past relationship with my brother.
00:55:58You are.
00:56:00Don't say it. Just answer my question.
00:56:03Just answer my question.
00:56:11Get out.
00:56:15Don't be so melodramatic.
00:56:19I didn't realize you were so strong.
00:56:22I'm leaving here.
00:56:24I never want to see you again.
00:56:26I'll miss you.
00:56:28A house like this needs charm.
00:56:30I told you to get out.
00:56:33You're going to regret this.
00:56:57I'm sorry to intrude, Hilton.
00:56:59I have a favor to ask of you.
00:57:01You're leaving tonight, and I want to go into town with you.
00:57:07I'm happy for you.
00:57:09Things will be so different when you're cured.
00:57:12I don't know what will become of me.
00:57:14I've got to leave this house.
00:57:16It hasn't been good for anyone here.
00:57:20I'm only taking a few things with me.
00:57:22Rhodes can pick up my other things tomorrow.
00:57:25My suitcase is in the basement. I'll only be a few minutes.
00:57:29Bye.
00:57:47This is the second time I've closed that window tonight.
00:57:50I definitely know I did.
00:57:52Now, if only I knew who opened it.
00:57:55You're not that clever.
00:57:57And if you were...
00:58:27Come on.
00:58:57Come on.
00:59:27Come on.
00:59:57Come on.
01:00:23Oh, it's you.
01:00:25You scared the life out of me.
01:00:56It's you.
01:01:18I told you not to touch me. Get out.
01:01:20I'll get out, Mrs. Warren.
01:01:22Not only out of here, but out of this house.
01:01:24Good riddance.
01:01:26But before I go, you're going to hear a few things.
01:01:29I'm tired of being a target for an evil old woman.
01:01:31Nobody's asking you to stay.
01:01:33If you got down on your bended knees, I wouldn't stay.
01:01:35I don't need this job.
01:01:37Why don't you go, then?
01:01:39You need a keeper, not a nurse.
01:01:41I don't care if you never walk again.
01:01:43You can stay in that bed for the rest of your life.
01:01:45I've taken everything in my day, but I'll not put up with this.
01:01:48I'm leaving this house tonight.
01:01:55I'll soon clear them out.
01:01:57I hate nurses.
01:01:59Always fussing.
01:02:01Always washing your face.
01:02:09Helen.
01:02:12Did you know there was a girl murdered here a long time ago?
01:02:20I don't know.
01:02:23I saw it.
01:02:26Upstairs from the window.
01:02:29It was getting dark.
01:02:31I thought it was a tree in the garden.
01:02:36It stood so still.
01:02:39And waited.
01:02:41Then when the poor, simple-minded creature came near the house,
01:02:47the tree moved.
01:02:49Threw her into the well.
01:02:53I was too late.
01:02:55I couldn't find the rope.
01:03:02You were that girl, Helen.
01:03:09Come here.
01:03:13Come here.
01:03:19You must go away.
01:03:21Leave this house.
01:03:23Go with Nurse Barker tonight.
01:03:25Don't wait for Dr. Perry.
01:03:27Don't wait for anyone.
01:03:30If you won't, you must do what I tell you.
01:03:34Get under the bed.
01:03:36You understand?
01:03:38You must hide under the bed.
01:03:42Why won't you do what I tell you to?
01:03:46Why won't you listen to me?
01:03:49Why won't anyone listen to me?
01:04:09Oh.
01:04:10Would you mind letting me have one of the wagons?
01:04:12I'll drive into the village and leave it there for Oates to pick up in the morning.
01:04:15Very well. I'll go out with you and hedge up the wagon.
01:04:18You're very kind, Professor.
01:04:37I've been walking.
01:04:40In this rain?
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:42In this rain.
01:04:45I wonder if you'd mind doing something for me, Stephen.
01:04:49What?
01:04:50Nurse Barker is leaving us.
01:04:52And as long as you're already rather wet,
01:04:55perhaps you wouldn't mind hedging up the wagon for her.
01:04:58Everybody's leaving the old homestead.
01:05:00Like a holiday.
01:05:03It'll be a pleasure.
01:05:05For both of us.
01:05:06Goodbye, Professor Warren.
01:05:08Goodbye.
01:05:10Oh, Helen.
01:05:11Will you tell Blanche I want to see her in the den?
01:05:39Oh.
01:06:09Oh.
01:06:39Tsk.
01:07:09Tsk.
01:07:39Tsk.
01:07:58Have you been here long?
01:08:01I was outside with Nurse Barker. I saw the basement door open.
01:08:05Did you come in that way?
01:08:08Helen.
01:08:09You must forget everything you've seen here.
01:08:12Let me handle this.
01:08:14Do you understand?
01:08:20Take the candle.
01:08:38Come with me.
01:08:48You don't think I did it?
01:09:04Wait.
01:09:05I think I have a match.
01:09:09Where could it go?
01:09:17Hey, there it is.
01:09:20Helen!
01:09:22Helen!
01:09:24Let me out of here!
01:09:26Helen!
01:09:35Helen!
01:10:05Helen!
01:10:35Number, please.
01:10:38Hello.
01:10:40Number, please.
01:10:42Hello.
01:10:43Number, please.
01:10:51Helen!
01:10:52Helen!
01:10:56What on earth are you doing?
01:10:57What's the matter?
01:11:06Blanche murdered?
01:11:18Stephen.
01:11:20Where?
01:11:25I'll take you up to my stepmother's room.
01:11:28You stay there with her.
01:11:30I'll call the constable.
01:11:36Let me take care of things now.
01:11:39You've been through enough.
01:11:41You tried to telephone, didn't you?
01:11:44I'm glad you couldn't.
01:11:50You looked in this mirror once before today.
01:11:54I watched you.
01:11:57You had no mouth then.
01:11:59Just as you have none now.
01:12:03Look at yourself.
01:12:05Look!
01:12:21And there's no room in the whole world for imperfection.
01:12:28The only person who could have prevented you from achieving the quiet that I can give you was Stephen.
01:12:35And you locked him up downstairs.
01:12:46We're quiet now, Helen.
01:12:49I'm glad I waited.
01:12:52Everyone's out of the way.
01:12:55Mrs. Oates is drunk.
01:12:58Because I purposely let her steal a bottle of brandy.
01:13:01And Oates is going to look for Ethan.
01:13:05Because I made sure there was no Ethan.
01:13:09And Blanche, whom I loved, didn't love me.
01:13:15So she had to die.
01:13:17She's dead in that piece.
01:13:20And Stephen?
01:13:22You took care of him for me.
01:13:25Stephen is weak.
01:13:27As I once was.
01:13:29What a pity my father didn't live to see me become strong.
01:13:33To see me disposed of the weak and imperfects of the world whom he detested.
01:13:39He would have admired me for what I'm going to do.
01:13:59Let's go.
01:14:29Let's go.
01:14:49Who is it?
01:14:50It's me, the constable.
01:14:55I met Dr. Parry in town.
01:14:57Tell him that he won't be able to pick her up tonight.
01:14:59The Wilson boy is very sick and he has to stay there.
01:15:01I'm sorry to hear that. I'll tell the constable.
01:15:04I'll be on my way then. Good night.
01:16:57Get up.
01:18:27Get up.
01:18:32Get up.
01:18:34Get up.
01:18:57Get up.
01:19:00Get up.
01:19:04Get up.
01:19:28Get up.
01:19:36Murderer.
01:19:49You killed him.
01:19:51You killed them all.
01:19:54Seven girls in the well.
01:19:57The others in the town.
01:20:00Today, the cripple in the hotel.
01:20:04You killed them all.
01:20:07Tonight, it would have been Helen.
01:20:12I heard you.
01:20:15Stephen.
01:20:17Get me Stephen.
01:20:27Get me Stephen.
01:20:54It's over.
01:20:58Ten years too late.
01:21:16Forgive me, Stephen.
01:21:19I thought it was you.
01:21:22You always waited until you came home.
01:21:25So I thought it was you.
01:21:31Get Dr. Perry.
01:21:33Hurry.
01:21:56One.
01:22:00Eight.
01:22:04Nine.
01:22:12Dr. Perry.
01:22:14Come back.
01:22:16Come back.
01:22:18Come back.
01:22:20Come back.
01:22:22Come back.
01:22:25No.
01:22:29It's me.
01:22:30Helen.
01:22:55Helen.
