00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30At first, all I could see was this face coming toward me.
00:01:38Then I saw the room.
00:01:41A queer mirror drill.
00:01:43Then somehow, I was inside it.
00:01:58There was danger there.
00:02:00I knew that.
00:02:02I wanted to turn and run, but I couldn't.
00:02:05It seemed as if my brain was handcuffed.
00:02:07And I had to do what I'd come to do.

00:06:32I've heard of everything, but how?
00:06:36Did something like that happen and I not know it?
00:06:39Was I going insane?
00:06:43A jackhammer started pounding inside my head.
00:06:46I had to see if the outside world was still there.
00:06:55The street below looked the same as it did last night.
00:06:58The same greasy spoon where I eat now and then.
00:07:02The same traffic noises.
00:07:05The same characters bouncing around.
00:07:10There was nothing the matter out there.
00:07:13It was in here with me.
00:07:15My stomach was riding a roller coaster.
00:07:18I was sick.
00:07:20I couldn't face going to work.
00:07:27I was sick.
00:07:45Hello.
00:07:49Give me Fitzroy 5103.
00:07:50Fremont National Bank, Bill, you're speaking.
00:07:58Oh, yes, Grayson.
00:08:00Mm-hmm.
00:08:02What seems to be the trouble?
00:08:06Oh.
00:08:08It could be the flu.
00:08:11Mm-hmm.
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:15All right, all right.
00:08:16Good-bye.
00:08:19Good morning, Joe.
00:08:21Good morning, Mr. Jackson.
00:08:23Oh, isn't that a lovely morning?
00:08:26Lots of things I'd rather do than work today.
00:08:31Good morning, Mr. Vineyard.
00:08:32Morning, Betty.
00:08:33Vince Grayson just called.
00:08:34He's not feeling well.
00:08:36Will you take his window today?
00:08:37Oh, is Vince sick?
00:08:39What did he say it was?
00:08:46Good morning.
00:09:04The more I tried to figure it out, the thicker I got.
00:09:08Suddenly, the room started spinning.
00:09:1740, 50.
00:09:27Federal 7-6-4-8.
00:09:33Hotel Commodore.
00:09:35Vince Grayson's room, please.
00:09:46He doesn't answer?
00:10:00Funny he shouldn't be there, isn't it?
00:10:02If he was sick, you know what I mean?
00:10:04No, 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, or should I try another bank?
00:10:17I had to get out of my room.
00:10:19Out into the sunshine.
00:10:21I had to stay out of the shadows.
00:10:24I knew that tonight, I'd be afraid of the dark.
00:10:28I had to talk to somebody about this crazy thing.
00:10:32Betty?
00:10:34I'd get sympathy from Betty.
00:10:36What I needed was an explanation.
00:10:38Cliff, my brother-in-law, he ought to be able to figure out something.
00:10:43I got to Cliff's place just before dinner.
00:10:46My sister, Lil, told me he was out in the garage.
00:10:53Hello, Cliff.
00:10:55Oh, hiya, Vince.
00:10:56How's the boy?
00:10:58Cliff, I want to talk to you.
00:11:00Be with you as soon as I finish sanding this.
00:11:02Exact reproduction of Martha Washington's bed.
00:11:04What's the matter, kid? Something on your mind?
00:11:14I need your help.
00:11:16You and Betty have a fight or something?
00:11:18Cliff, this is going to sound screwy.
00:11:21Last night I dreamed I killed a man.
00:11:24I don't know who or where it was supposed to be.
00:11:28I stabbed him with a steel boar.
00:11:31During the fight, a button came off in my hand.
00:11:34When I'd kill him, I locked the body in a closet and took the key.
00:11:38And then when I woke up...
00:11:42Well, look.
00:11:46And this morning there was blood on my wrist.
00:11:49I figured maybe I'd scratch myself in my sleep, my ear or my nose or someplace.
00:11:53So I just washed it off.
00:11:56That was before I saw these.
00:11:59You're all in pieces, aren't you?
00:12:01Cliff, you gotta help me.
00:12:03You don't know what I've been going through all day.
00:12:10Where'd you get this?
00:12:11I mean, where'd you first get it before you dreamed about it?
00:12:13Don'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.
00:12:23Now look, Vince.
00:12:24I've warned you before.
00:12:25You're working too hard.
00:12:27Don't you understand?
00:12:29There's a door somewhere this very minute this key belongs to.
00:12:32There's a man propped up behind a dead.
00:12:34And I don't know where nor who he is or how or why it happened.
00:12:36Only that I must have been there.
00:12:38I must have done it.
00:12:39Or why would it come to me in my sleep like this?
00:12:41And these things...
00:12:42Now look.
00:12:44You had those things before.
00:12:45You picked them up somewhere.
00:12:47And you misplaced them a long time ago.
00:12:48And last night you had a Welsh rabbit or one drink too many.
00:12:51So you dreamed up a nightmare.
00:12:53And in it you remembered these old things and wove them in it.
00:12:56No, no.
00:12:57Now don't say no.
00:12:59Either you dream a thing or it really happened.
00:13:02Don't worry.
00:13:04If you dreamed that you had a fight with a guy and rammed something in him,
00:13:08you'd wake up.
00:13:09What happened, Cliff?
00:13:10If I tell you it happened!
00:13:11You dreamed it.
00:13:12You had those things before.
00:13:13You've just been stretching your nerves thin, kid.
00:13:14Well, that's your answer.
00:13:15That's all you can tell me, huh?
00:13:16Claire!
00:13:17Finn!
00:13:18Dinner's ready!
00:13:19If I tell you I didn't have these things before!
00:13:20Throw those things away!
00:13:21And look.
00:13:22Not a word of this to Lil.
00:13:23You understand?
00:13:24She's been worrying about you enough already.
00:13:26You haven't helped me a bit.
00:13:27I need when the knuckles were.
00:13:28Come on, naturally not.
00:13:29You expect me to arrest you for murdering a man in your dream?
00:13:33The rest will happen in a dream, too.
00:13:34Because...
00:13:35I'm gonna do it.
00:13:36I'm gonna do it.
00:13:37I'll do it.
00:13:38That's all I can do.
00:13:39It's all I can do.
00:13:40But...
00:13:41I'll do it.
00:13:42I'll do it.
00:13:43That's all I can do.
00:13:44I'll do it.
00:13:45I'll do it.
00:13:46I'll do it.
00:13:47You'll do it.
00:13:48I'll do it.
00:13:49I'll do it.
00:13:50I'll do it.
00:13:51It's all I can do it.
00:13:52I'll do it.
00:13:53You'll do it.
00:13:54I'm off duty when I'm dreaming.
00:13:58Come on, kid.
00:14:00Let's get some dinner.
00:14:01And smile for Lil, will you?
00:14:09You men coming in or not?
00:14:11You want your soup to get cold?
00:14:15I keep cracking the polish off of that one male.
00:14:17Are you lucky?
00:14:18Lil's got a rib roast tonight.
00:14:20You know I'm getting jealous of that butcher.
00:14:22Vince, why did you tell me you've been working hard at the bank?
00:14:24All day.
00:14:25Because I did.
00:14:28How are you feeling, Vince?
00:14:30I thought you were sick.
00:14:31I was.
00:14:31I just didn't feel well.
00:14:33I kept calling your room all day.
00:14:34No one was there.
00:14:36Mr. Billio got suspicious.
00:14:37Can a guy take a day off?
00:14:39I just didn't feel like going to work,
00:14:40and I wasn't sick enough to stay in my room.
00:14:42Now, why does everybody have to make such a big thing of it?
00:14:46Vince.
00:14:49The blood.
00:14:51I washed it off.
00:14:54I don't know how long I was blacked out.
00:14:58I hazily remembered coming to for a moment and falling asleep again.
00:15:03It was some time past midnight when something awakened me.
00:15:07I don't know how long I was blacked out.
00:15:17I hazily remembered coming to for a moment and falling asleep again.
00:15:22It was some time past midnight when something awakened me.
00:15:25What if I...
00:15:39I bite out?
00:15:41You certainly did.
00:15:43the truth
00:15:45not what you think
00:15:47not that dream business

00:22:18Don, wipers won't work.
00:22:42You should have tried them before you bought it, dear.
00:22:44All right, all right.
00:22:48I can't stand it anymore.
00:23:06Stop at the first place you come to, and let's get out of this.
00:23:09All right, baby.
00:23:10Now calm down.
00:23:13No houses around here.
00:23:18That bridge, I've seen it before.
00:23:26But when?
00:23:30There's a cutoff a little ways ahead, just around the turn.
00:23:34There's a big house up there, I think.
00:23:37Do you know this section?
00:23:38Have you been here before?
00:23:41There's a cutoff.
00:23:42Are you going to get us more lost than ever?
00:23:52No, keep going.
00:23:53You'll come to it.
00:23:54Two big posts, and then turn the car between them.
00:23:57I didn't know myself how I knew that.
00:24:00But the closer we came, the heart of my heart pounded.
00:24:03And the more frightened I got.
00:24:05There they are, turnflip between those posts like he told you.
00:24:35Oh, he's got to wait for me.
00:24:35Let's make a dash for it.
00:25:05There doesn't seem to be anybody home.
00:25:29Well, I wish we could get in.
00:25:35I thought there'd be a key someplace.
00:25:51Vince, are you going to stay out there all day?
00:25:53Come on in.
00:25:55Let's have some light.
00:25:57Not that one.
00:25:58What is this, a rib?
00:25:59How do you know so much about this place?
00:26:01It's a rib.
00:26:02Your brother Vince, the great joker.
00:26:03It's a rib.
00:26:04Your brother Vince, the great joker.
00:26:08Hello, anybody home?
00:26:09Don't do that.
00:26:10It's cold.
00:26:11He's shaking.
00:26:12So are you.
00:26:13Let's find a place to dry out here.
00:26:14Let's find a place to dry out here.
00:26:15Let's have some light.
00:26:16Not that one.
00:26:19What is this, a rib?
00:26:21How do you know so much about this place?
00:26:23It's a rib.
00:26:24Your brother Vince, the great joker.
00:26:27Let's get out.
00:26:33Hello.
00:26:34Anybody home?
00:26:35Don't do that.
00:26:38He's cold.
00:26:39He's shaking.
00:26:40So are you.
00:26:41Let's find a place to dry out before you catch cold.
00:26:57It looks like they've been away a long time.
00:27:14Your being a detective comes in handy.
00:27:16In case anybody shows up, we won't get into trouble for crashing in like this.
00:27:19Yeah, yeah.
00:27:21Let's see what gives with the fireplace.
00:27:27That's a break.
00:27:29It's a gas log.
00:27:40Tunk yourself down.
00:27:41Dry out.
00:27:42Before you catch a chill.
00:27:45Oh, I am tired.
00:27:48Come on, Betty.
00:27:48Share the warmth.
00:27:50I'll scout the kitchen.
00:27:52Some hot tea wouldn't hurt you a bit.
00:27:54I feel better already.
00:28:07Vince, why don't you come over here by the fire?
00:28:25To the end of the fire, you'll see.
00:28:26Thank you for listening.
00:28:29Welcome to the shore.
00:28:31I'll be right back.
00:28:35Thanks for listening.
00:29:38This is the place.
00:29:45This is the place, all right.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:53Wipe your brow.
00:29:58Have you got it?
00:29:59What are you two doing up there?
00:30:08Keep her downstairs.
00:30:09Keep her downstairs.
00:30:11Down a minute, Lil.
00:30:12Watch the tea in the kitchen.
00:30:13I got some water boiling.
00:30:15All right, but I wish you'd stop poking around.
00:30:17Look.
00:30:36That's what he was crossed in front of.
00:30:38That night, he must have been using a blowtorch.
00:30:42That's what made that bluish light.
00:30:45It made her face stand out in the reflections like a mask.
00:30:49That must be the one I propped him up in after I...
00:30:59No, don't.
00:31:05Yeah.
00:31:06Give me a chance.
00:31:07Cut it out.
00:31:07Dried blood.
00:31:25Someone who was hurt was in here.
00:31:27Somebody who was dead.
00:31:29Ben, Claire, come on down and have some tea.
00:31:50Oh, my God.
00:32:20I'll take these back to the kitchen.
00:32:22I'll take them.
00:32:24The rain ought to let up soon.
00:32:26Meanwhile, catch yourselves a nap.
00:32:41Close it.
00:32:42I want them to hear this.
00:32:50Now let's hear about another dream.
00:33:00You think I lied, don't you?
00:33:02You knew how to get here from a dream, didn't you?
00:33:05You knew where the key was from a dream, didn't you?
00:33:08Oh, that fumbling around didn't fool me.
00:33:10You even knew where the light switch was from a dream?
00:33:13If you weren't Lil's brother, I'd push your lying face out to the back of your head.
00:33:16But I tell you, Cliff, I tried to...
00:33:18I tried to pay for help.
00:33:20She didn't have guts enough to come clean.
00:33:21Say, Cliff, I went out to such and such a place in the canyon last night and killed a guy.
00:33:24Such and such a guy for such and such a reason.
00:33:26But I tell you...
00:33:27No, you had to cook up a dream.
00:33:29I can respect a guy no matter how rotten a crime he's committed who'll own up to it.
00:33:32I can understand a guy who'll deny it flatly.
00:33:34But a guy that'll come to someone trading on the fact he's married to his sister abuses common sense
00:33:38and make a fool out of him like you did to me.
00:33:40But I didn't...
00:33:41I got no use for him.
00:33:42He's lower than the lowest rat we ever brought in for knifing somebody in an alley.
00:33:45Look.
00:33:46I found this key in my pocket when I woke up.
00:33:49I found this button playing on my sympathies.
00:33:52Getting me to think in terms of doctors and medical observation.
00:33:54Was that it?
00:33:55Was it?
00:33:56No, I...
00:33:57Cliff, I swear to you, I...
00:33:58Some dream, that was.
00:33:59Well, that dream's over with.
00:34:00The baby's awake now.
00:34:01I'm gonna get the facts out of you.
00:34:03And whether they go any further than me or not, that's my business.
00:34:05But at least I'm gonna have them.
00:34:06How can I tell you what I don't know?
00:34:08What were you doing here that night?
00:34:09What brought you here?
00:34:10I was never here before.
00:34:11I never saw the place till the day when I came here with you and Lil.
00:34:14Who was the guy you killed?
00:34:15What was his name?
00:34:16I mean, agony already without...
00:34:17Are you gonna answer me?
00:34:18Are you?
00:34:19I can't.
00:34:20You're asking me things I can't answer.
00:34:21That's the almighty of whoever watches over us at night when we're unconscious.
00:34:25Who was the guy?
00:34:26Why did you kill him?
00:34:27Why?
00:34:28I've handled close mouth guys before.
00:34:30You're gonna tell me or I'm gonna half kill you with my own hands.
00:34:37Get over there.
00:34:38What is this?
00:34:39I'll ask the questions.
00:34:40What are you two doing in here?
00:34:41You came in out of the rain.
00:34:43That suit you?
00:34:44Not yet.
00:34:46Identify yourselves and be quick about it.
00:34:50Help yourself.
00:35:00Thanks, Early.
00:35:02Headquarters Homicide Division, huh?
00:35:04How about doing a little identifying yourself?
00:35:06Oh, I'm a deputy attached to the county sheriff's office out this way.
00:35:09Torrance is the name.
00:35:10My brother-in-law, Vince Grayson.
00:35:12How do you deal?
00:35:13I'm detailed to keep an eye on this place.
00:35:15I was home having a little bite to eat, then I'm away back to the station.
00:35:17Say, how'd you get in here?
00:35:18I thought I had it locked up.
00:35:19The key was under a flower box on the porch.
00:35:21It was?
00:35:22Must have been a spare.
00:35:23I have the original.
00:35:24We didn't know there was a second one.
00:35:25What do you mean you're detailed to keep an eye on this place?
00:35:28Didn't you know?
00:35:29There was a murder committed here last week.
00:35:31There was?
00:35:32I'd like to hear more about that.
00:35:35Sounds interesting.
00:35:38Oh?
00:35:39No thanks.
00:35:40I cut him on about a month ago.
00:35:42I always carry a pack of these now.
00:35:45Now then.
00:35:47This 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 in Mexico.
00:35:55In fact, we haven't been able to notify him yet.
00:35:58His wife was a pretty little thing.
00:36:01Was?
00:36:02Kind of flirty.
00:36:03It was a young duck she used to run around with.
00:36:06His name was Bob Clune.
00:36:07Was?
00:36:08Milkman found Mrs. Belknap about daybreak Monday near a road that leads over here.
00:36:13Did?
00:36:14Dying, unconscious, both legs broken, skull fractured, insides all busted up.
00:36:18Kind of gets him, doesn't it?
00:36:19Things like this are new to him, I guess.
00:36:20What did it happen?
00:36:21A car did it to her.
00:36:22He found the car.
00:36:23Blood and hair in the tires.
00:36:24Bob Clune's car.
00:36:25Well, then Warner, that's my chief, he'd come over here and have a look around.
00:36:26He finds a safe busted in a mirrored room upstairs.
00:36:27Take you up and show if you want.
00:36:28Mirrored room, huh?
00:36:29Well, that gave us a case.
00:36:30Clune knew that Belknap had a lot of doing the safely and left for Mexico.
00:36:34He came here, started to heist it and Mrs. Belknap caught him.
00:36:35She ran out afraid he'd kill her.
00:36:36He got his car, chased her down the road and ran over her.
00:36:38It was a small car.
00:36:39It was a small car.
00:36:40A small car.
00:36:41Blood, hair in the tires.
00:36:42Bob Clune's car.
00:36:43Well, then Warner, that's my chief, he'd come over here and have a look around.
00:36:45He finds a safe busted in a mirrored room upstairs.
00:36:48Take you up and show if you want.
00:36:49Mirrored room, huh?
00:36:50Well, that gave us a case.
00:36:51Clune knew that Belknap had a lot of dough in the safe when he left for Mexico.
00:36:54Belknap caught him. She ran out afraid he'd kill her. He got his car, chased her down the road,
00:36:58and ran over. Pretty brutal. All of a sudden life was swell again. I don't know how to drive,
00:37:03I kept thinking. Cliff knew that too. Not a smoke, kid. Anyway, that's a case we thought we had
00:37:12until Wednesday morning. Thought you had. We sent out an alarm for Kloon. Then Wednesday,
00:37:17Mrs. Belknap came too. The first thing she asked was, is Bob all right? He didn't kill Bob Kloon,
00:37:21did he? He? Yeah. What she told us sent us hot pudding right back here. We find Kloon's body
00:37:26propped it behind one of those mirrored doors upstairs. Been stabbed with an awl. She died
00:37:30that night. Well, it went our case. Did you get anything on the real killer? Practically
00:37:37everything except the guy himself. All the dopes over at my chief's office. I was just on my
00:37:43way over there. You interested? Oh, it's right up my alley. Might be able to even help you
00:37:47find the killer. Glad to have you come along. I'll have to tell the girls we'll be gone.
00:37:51for a while. Shouldn't let it get you, kid. This is just routine with us. I know. It's just
00:38:02that I'm not used to this kind of discussion, I guess. Yeah, I can understand that. I was
00:38:07a little bit squeamish myself when I first started on the job. They're both asleep. I left a note.
00:38:13Come on, Vince. I'll stay here. Come on, Vince.
00:38:20Come on, Vince.
00:38:21Funny I didn't see anything in the L.A. papers about it, Captain Warner. They've been playing
00:38:37ball with us. We had an idea if the killer didn't read about us finding the bodies,
00:38:42he might come back to take a look. Maybe to find out what happened to Mrs. Belknap. Here's
00:38:48a description she gave us before she died. The killer was about twenty-four, medium build,
00:38:57white brown wavy hair, worn rather long. His eyes were fixed and glassy as though he was
00:39:05mentally unbalanced. You got any pictures on them? Mrs. Belknap, clone, I mean. We had some photographs
00:39:11taken in the morgue. Let's have a look. Got any ideas? Nothing in particular. I just thought
00:39:18it might tie in with something at our office. Take a look, Vince. Oh no, you might even know
00:39:25these people. It was them all right. The faces of the dream. That woman and the man I killed. Now I knew there was no escape. I was a murderer. I?
00:39:40All right.
00:39:57Out like the light. What do you suppose did it? Those death pictures? Things like this sure get him. I noticed that before.
00:40:02He's not well. He gets these dizzy spells now and then. It's only since I started. Shut up.
00:40:09Yeah, that's better. He'll be all right. Soon as I get him home. Thanks, Warner. I'll be seeing you. Okay.
00:40:39Thanks, Lil. I'm sorry the rain spoiled at picnic. Will you take care of yourself? I'll call you. I'm going up with Vince for a while. I bet you happen to be in the loading zone. Smiley's on this beat. If he says anything, just tell him whose car it is.
00:41:04Three years.
00:41:05Four years.
00:41:06Four years.
00:41:07Four years.
00:41:09Four years.
00:41:10Three years.
00:41:11Three years.
00:41:12Four years.
00:41:27One hundred times.
00:41:30Lil's waiting downstairs.
00:41:41I'm going to take her home first before I do anything.
00:41:45I love Lil.
00:41:47I think you love Betty, but that's your business.
00:41:50All I know is I love Lil.
00:41:55Bad enough what this is going to do to her when she finds out.
00:41:57I'm going to see that she gets at least one good night's sleep before she does.
00:42:05What am I going to do, Claire?
00:42:07I don't have to ask you if you killed her.
00:42:10You passed out cold when you saw that photograph of some death.
00:42:15In the morning, I'm going to take you down and turn in what I know at my own precinct house.
00:42:20And I can pass it on to Warner.
00:42:22And then I'm going to turn in my badge.
00:42:30I'm scared stiff.
00:42:32Killers always are.
00:42:35Afterwards.
00:42:37I'll be back in the morning.
00:42:45Goodbye.
00:42:52Goodbye.
00:43:03Goodbye.
00:43:04Goodbye.
00:43:06Goodbye.
00:44:06I beg your pardon.
00:44:21Look, he's trying to make up his mind.
00:44:23Can't you go any faster?
00:44:46I've got her wide open.
00:44:54Bye.

00:47:51still I can't figure why you picked that way most of them try the bridge or poison or even gas
00:47:58thought of that this place hasn't any gas yeah good thing too more houses didn't have gas that'd be
00:48:05less yeah it'd be darned inconvenient if an electric light bulb burns out unexpectedly happened to a
00:48:11fellow in the next room the other night yeah yeah I had to use a candle same night I had the dream

00:55:32waiting for you outside Mrs. Belknap ran out and her husband using Clune's car deliberately ran over
00:55:37her why didn't I know what I was doing we think we know why Vince
00:55:43there's only one way to prove it show that it could have happened the first place by making it
00:55:49happen all over again go back and commit the crime over again not exactly you've killed a man Vince
00:55:57right now you're guilty we've got to prove you didn't know what you were doing and why you didn't
00:56:02know what do you mean we haven't got much time they located Belknap yesterday he's flying back
00:56:07from Mexico this afternoon he wired Warner to have his wife reburied in the family plot today he'll be

00:56:26to go back there and stay tonight and wait for Belknap he may be a dangerous killer but it's your one
00:56:31chance to save yourself from paying for a murder think you can make it I was scared sick but I got
00:56:50back into that house before Belknap returned from the funeral a couple of friends drove back with him
00:56:55I waited upstairs looking down into the living room as they said goodbye why don't you come and
00:57:02stay at our place yeah don't worry yourselves about me good night he was coming up my blood turned to
00:57:15water I wanted to scream out to run away from there but I had to stay it was my only chance to save
00:57:22myself
00:57:52so
00:57:54so
00:57:55so
00:57:59How did you get here?
00:58:27You showed me the way, didn't you?
00:58:29You remembered coming here?
00:58:32You didn't think I would, did you?
00:58:34You couldn't have.
00:58:36Then how did I get here?
00:58:37You explain it.
00:58:39How long have you been in here, like this?
00:58:41Since shortly before dark.
00:58:43I got in while you were at the funeral.
00:58:46Who'd you bring with you?
00:58:48Just this.
00:58:51You remembered the drive up?
00:58:53You couldn't have.
00:58:55You had the look.
00:58:57The typical look of the hypnotized subject?
00:59:00I faked it.
00:59:01I was holding a thumbtack pressed into each palm the whole way, so I wouldn't go under no matter how good you were at it.
00:59:06Then why did you do everything I directed?
00:59:08When I put the knife in your hand and told you what to do, you took it and...
00:59:10I thought maybe you'd pay off to keep me quiet.
00:59:12And then if I balked, I figured I'd get a knife in my back.
00:59:16But what happened?
00:59:17What went wrong inside?
00:59:19I let you out of the car, told you what to do?
00:59:21I dropped the knife somewhere in the dark, but I came up anyway.
00:59:25Clun was stealing your dough and about to run out with your wife, wasn't that it?
00:59:29Yes.
00:59:30Yes.
00:59:31But how...
00:59:32I would have been killed by Clun, only your wife handed me aboard by mistake.
00:59:36And I had to use it to save myself.
00:59:38Oh, that explains how she got out of the house.
00:59:42I had to finish her with his car.
00:59:45I might have known you were under imperfect control.
00:59:48Oh, your control is perfect enough, Bill, now.
00:59:51Don't let that worry you.
00:59:52You still have the knack.
00:59:53But you just said...
00:59:54Yeah, and you fell for it.
00:59:56I didn't know what I was doing when I came up here to do your dirty job.
00:59:59I'd have never found you, but I saw your picture in the paper as a husband of the murdered woman and recognized you as a bird.
01:00:05I didn't come here to be paid off for what I did.
01:00:08Even though your will is stronger than mine, you'd know you couldn't make me commit murder.
01:00:13I killed that man in self-defense.
01:00:16But I'll never be able to clear myself in the eyes of the law.
01:00:19Ever.
01:00:20I'm going to make you pay for doing that to me.
01:00:23Now.
01:00:25This way.
01:00:26Wait.
01:00:27Don't do that.
01:00:28Alive, maybe I can do something for you.
01:00:31I'll give you money.
01:00:32I'll get you out of the country.
01:00:33No one will know.
01:00:34My conscience will know.
01:00:36I've got an honest man's conscience and a murderer's body.
01:00:39You should have let me alone, Belknap.
01:00:41That was your mistake.
01:00:42Wait.
01:00:43One minute.
01:00:44Give me one minute to make you see.
01:00:46Just sixty seconds.
01:00:48You don't want to kill me.
01:00:50Those two were plotting against me for months.
01:00:52I knew it.
01:00:53That's why I planned the whole thing.
01:00:54I had to do it.
01:00:55Don't you understand?
01:00:56You can understand that.
01:00:58Stop it, Belknap.
01:00:59Just a few seconds, please.
01:01:01You don't want to kill me.
01:01:04Look up.
01:01:05Look up.
01:01:06Please.
01:01:07See?
01:01:08Just thirty seconds.
01:01:10And I'm sure I can make you understand.
01:01:13Just a few seconds.
01:01:15Shall we take him now?
01:01:17We've got to let him finish.
01:01:19We've got to have proof for a jury that he can actually put him under.
01:01:22Just fifteen seconds, that's all.
01:01:25That isn't much, is it?
01:01:27Fifteen seconds.
01:01:28Killing me won't calm your conscience.
01:01:31You don't really want to kill me, Grayson.
01:01:35Drop your gun.
01:01:37It's too heavy.
01:01:39Drop the gun, Grayson.
01:01:42Drop it.
01:01:43You're too tired to hold it up.
01:01:46Just drop it.
01:01:48You'll feel so much better.
01:01:50Just let go of me.
01:01:52Better still.
01:01:54Give the gun to me, Grayson.
01:01:57You're tired.
01:02:00Tired.
01:02:06That horrible curtain closed over me again.
01:02:09I couldn't find it.
01:02:11I knew he was taking me somewhere.
01:02:15I didn't want to go.
01:02:17But my brain was handcuffed.
01:02:22And I was walking through another nightmare.
01:02:41I'm trying to say, I ate engineeringื่ 돼.
01:02:44Don't go out there.
01:02:45No.
01:02:46Keep it.
01:02:47Totally quiet.
01:02:49We'd better get up there quick.
01:02:51Hold him!
01:02:52Put him in!
01:02:53He won't!
01:02:54He's got him out in the car.
01:02:55Not by garage.
01:02:57Get him out.
01:02:59So don't day care.
01:03:00He doesn't get him.
01:03:01No.
01:03:02I knew you.
01:03:03I knew you.
01:03:04I knew you.
01:03:07Let him go.

01:05:39Look down there.
01:05:46I see no other way out.
01:06:05All right.
01:06:06Get out.
01:06:10Take off your coat.
01:06:31This way you'll find peace.
01:06:47This way you'll find peace.
