00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00I am the whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night.
00:01:21I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.
00:01:26Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.
00:01:39And here tonight, driving through this rain-swept countryside, are two young people about to embark on the greatest venture of their lives.
00:01:49Whether for better or for worse, only time will tell.
00:01:53According to that sign, we should be there any minute.
00:02:10That's nice, chérie.
00:02:13But it's also nice driving in the rain like this.
00:02:16Cuddle from everything.
00:02:18The past, the future.
00:02:20Future?
00:02:21Oh no, darling, not the future.
00:02:23The future's us.
00:02:24I didn't mean it that way.
00:02:26It's the isolation, the feeling that you're in a world of your own that makes me happy.
00:02:33But when I'm with you, Ted, I always feel that way.
00:02:36Rain or shine, day or night.
00:02:39You're wonderful.
00:02:48Well, Alice, in a few minutes you'll be Mrs. Theodore Anthony Nichols II.
00:02:53Of New York, in California.
00:03:09Are you nervous?
00:03:25Yes, but only a little.
00:03:31What can I do for you?
00:03:32As if you didn't know.
00:03:34Oh, dear.
00:03:35I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.
00:03:37Oh, but coming out of the rain anyway.
00:03:46I'm sorry the justice isn't home.
00:03:48Oh, but I phoned this afternoon and made an appointment.
00:03:51Are you Mr. Nichols?
00:03:52Yes, that's right.
00:03:53I remember your call.
00:03:55I told my husband about it.
00:03:56He had to go to Ganfield this afternoon on legal business.
00:03:59Oh, we don't mind waiting a while.
00:04:02He won't be back tonight.
00:04:03He phoned a half hour ago and said he wouldn't think of driving through this rain.
00:04:08But what will we do?
00:04:09Now, take my advice and stop over at the hotel in Marston.
00:04:37It's just a few miles down the road.
00:04:40I'm sure the justice will be back early tomorrow.
00:04:43He'd be glad to accommodate you.
00:04:45Well, we'll see.
00:04:46Good night, Mrs. Holstead.
00:04:47Good night, now.
00:04:48Good night.
00:04:48Good night.
00:05:11Good night.
00:05:12Good night.
00:05:14Is something wrong?
00:05:16I hope not. Maybe the spark plugs or something got a little wet.
00:05:34Looks like the end of the line.
00:05:36That's a pretty lame ending to a wedding night.
00:05:39Things could be worse here.
00:05:41No, but we can't stay here all night.
00:05:43I feel very comfortable.
00:05:46I'm tired.
00:05:48Well, we gotta get the car fixed so we can go and be married tomorrow.
00:05:51Mm-hmm.
00:05:54Look, Alice. That's the place.
00:05:59Come on. You're gonna get a good night's rest.
00:06:01I'll get the bags.
00:06:13Can't do a thing for you, mister.
00:06:16Oh, have a heart. You can't brush us off like that.
00:06:18No use going in a long story. We're just plump full up.
00:06:22And that's the end of it.
00:06:23Please, monsieur. We've driven such a long time.
00:06:26Too bad, ma'am. We ain't got space left to board a mouse.
00:06:29Let alone you two.
00:06:31Uh, well, uh, is there another place you can send us to?
00:06:34No, it's the only place in town, so I guess you best keep moving on.
00:06:37But we can't. My car broke down.
00:06:39Smitty's garage is five blocks down the street. He'll be glad to fix it for you.
00:06:43If you ain't asleep or drunk.
00:06:49Well, thanks for your trouble, anyway. Come along, darling.
00:06:54Oh, just a minute, young fella.
00:06:56I just recollected. There is a room. But it's in bad shape.
00:07:00Oh, that's okay. Just so long as it's a room.
00:07:02Well, that'll be $20.
00:07:03What?
00:07:04Well, giving you this room is risky. Risky for me.
00:07:13We can dispense with that. Carry your own bags.
00:07:16I get little enough thanks for my job as tis.
00:07:19Without having to be a bellhop.
00:07:43Not exactly my idea of a bridal suite.
00:07:46It ain't meant to be. I'll get you some bedding.
00:07:49Well, this chair isn't too bad.
00:07:51Yes, sleeping on it one night won't kill me.
00:07:53Nothing wrong with a bed. It's big enough for two.
00:07:55Oh.
00:07:58You two are married, ain't you?
00:08:00Well, uh, not yet.
00:08:02Not yet? Come on, you.
00:08:03Oh, no. If he doesn't stay, I don't stay.
00:08:05Well, suit yourself. I'm gonna stick my neck out no further.
00:08:08Well, suit yourself. I'm gonna stick my neck out no further.
00:08:11Now it's all right, darling.
00:08:13I'll get 40 winks in the garage while the mechanic fixes the car.
00:08:16That's where we should have stayed. Together in the car.
00:08:18Boy, I thought we'd never be separated again.
00:08:20Now, honey, it's only till tomorrow.
00:08:23You're right, Jerry.
00:08:24That's the spirit.
00:08:29Well, you might at least turn around while I kiss my bride-to-be. Good night.
00:08:32I'll make it fast. I got work to do.
00:08:37Good night, darling.
00:08:39Good night, Jerry.
00:08:41Sleep tight.
00:08:48Furner, ain't she?
00:08:49She's French, if it's any of your business.
00:08:51Seems to me Yankee women is trouble enough.
00:08:54Without getting tangled up with furners.
00:08:56Mind if I leave this here while I look after my car?
00:09:05Ain't gonna be responsible. Better take it along with you.
00:09:12Aren't you forgetting about the bedding?
00:09:14Sure enough.
00:09:20Dang busybody.
00:09:23Never know what to expect next.
00:09:24This isn't just the way you'd planned your honeymoon, is it, Ted?
00:09:39But don't be too unhappy.
00:09:41It's only a few more hours till you and Alice will be united forever.
00:10:11I'm sorry.
00:10:12I guess I got the wrong room.
00:10:13No.
00:10:14No, this is it all right.
00:10:15I'm positive.
00:10:16Who are you looking for, bud?
00:10:17A young lady.
00:10:18She occupied this room last night.
00:10:19Don't know nothing about that.
00:10:20Oh, I guess the clerk moved her to another room.
00:10:23Thanks anyway.
00:10:24Oh, I guess I'm sorry.
00:10:25The clerk's right.
00:10:26Oh, I guess what's wrong?
00:10:28I'm sorry.
00:10:29Isn't it?
00:10:30I'm sorry.
00:10:31I'm sorry.
00:10:32I'm sorry.
00:10:33I'm sorry.
00:10:34I'm sorry.
00:10:35I'm sorry.
00:10:36I'm sorry.
00:10:37I don't know nothing about that.
00:10:38No, no.
00:10:39No, no.
00:10:40This is it all right.
00:10:41I'm positive.
00:10:42Who are you looking for, bud?
00:10:43A young lady.
00:10:44She occupied this room last night.
00:10:45Don't know nothing about that.
00:10:46Oh, I guess the clerk moved her to another room.
00:10:50Thanks anyway.
00:10:51Oh, good morning, sir. Anything I can do for you?
00:10:55No, I'd like to see the night clerk.
00:10:57Oh, I'm sorry, but Mr. Anderson has gone off duty. I'm afraid he's asleep.
00:11:00But it's very important. I'm sure he won't mind.
00:11:02What is your name, please?
00:11:03Nichols. Ted Nichols.
00:11:08Oh, Anderson, there's a Mr. Nichols here to see you.
00:11:11He says it's very important.
00:11:13Right.
00:11:15He says he'll be right down.
00:11:17Thanks.
00:11:21Anderson.
00:11:38What room did you move my girl to?
00:11:40I didn't move her anyplace.
00:11:42Now, don't you try to get me mixed up in anything.
00:11:44Oh, I get it. Well, forget about the 20. Where is she?
00:11:46Well, how do I know where she went?
00:11:48I ain't no gypsy mind reader.
00:11:49You mean she left here?
00:11:51Well, sure.
00:11:53About a half hour after you went away last night.
00:11:55Now, that's impossible. She wouldn't do that.
00:11:57Now, listen, I'm not going to argue with you.
00:11:58If you don't mind, I'd like to get some sleep.
00:12:00No, you don't. Not until you tell me what you did with that girl.
00:12:03Well, I didn't do anything with her.
00:12:05You're out of your mind.
00:12:06Take your hands off of me.
00:12:06Well, you're lying. Why'd you say she ran away, huh?
00:12:08You're trying to hide something, and I'm going to find out what it is.
00:12:11Uh, Mr. Hart, there's a disturbance in the lobby.
00:12:13You'd better come right out here.
00:12:14I don't know anything about where she is.
00:12:16Why, you leave me alone.
00:12:18Get him away from me. He's crazy.
00:12:19Get him away from me. I'll choke the truth out of him.
00:12:22What's the trouble?
00:12:26I don't know, Mr. Hart.
00:12:28I rented a room to his girl last night, and she checked out and gave him the slip,
00:12:32and now he's trying to blame me for him.
00:12:34Well, then, that's a lie. My girl wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:12:36I'll handle this.
00:12:37How could you rent her a room? We had no vacancies last night.
00:12:40Well, I felt sorry for the lady.
00:12:41She looked so tired, almost like she was going to pass out.
00:12:45And I let her have the room where we're going to paint.
00:12:48It was strictly against my orders to rent that room.
00:12:50And strictly against the law to pocket the 20 bucks I gave him and not let her register.
00:12:53That's why he's lying.
00:12:55My girl didn't run away.
00:12:56He's just trying to cover up for some reason.
00:12:58Well, he's out of his mind.
00:12:59After he left, I took the register down to her room, and she signed it.
00:13:02We can check up on that easy enough.
00:13:04Sure, and on the $20, too.
00:13:05It's entered in the books and crossed off.
00:13:07Why?
00:13:08Oh, well, of course she came to me and said she had to get back to the city.
00:13:14Wouldn't I let her have the $20 if she didn't have money to pay her fare?
00:13:19I should have chased them both out when they came in, and I wouldn't be in this trouble now.
00:13:22Listen, you're going to have nothing but trouble, brother, if you don't tell me what you did with her.
00:13:25Now, just a minute, just a minute. We'd better let the police settle this.
00:13:28Well, that's fine with me.
00:13:29Crandall called Captain Griggs and asked him to come over here right away.
00:13:32Yes, sir.
00:13:33Please step into my office.
00:13:34And, Anderson, you bring the register.
00:13:36Well, isn't that the girl's signature?
00:13:53Well, the way it's been scratched out, I can't be sure.
00:13:55You don't seem to be sure about a lot of things.
00:13:57You can't talk me out of this, Captain.
00:13:59I'm not trying to, but Anderson here explained everything.
00:14:02But don't you understand it couldn't have happened that way?
00:14:04Alice is a French girl. She's only been in this country a few weeks.
00:14:08She wouldn't know where to go.
00:14:09That still doesn't prove Anderson's lying.
00:14:11Why should he?
00:14:11Because he must have had something to do with her disappearance.
00:14:13Oh.
00:14:14Well, if that's the way you feel, are you prepared to file a charge against him, say, for abduction?
00:14:18It's about the most serious charge you can make against anyone.
00:14:21And you might be laying yourself open for a lot of trouble.
00:14:23I'm not accusing him of that.
00:14:24But I've got to find Alice.
00:14:26Well, you've certainly gone about it the wrong way.
00:14:28As a matter of fact, Anderson has a pretty good case of assault and battery against you.
00:14:33I'll hold him if you want to come down to headquarters and sign a complaint.
00:14:35Well, I'd just as soon forget the whole thing if you'd promise to keep away from here.
00:14:41Anderson's right, Captain. It would be bad publicity for the hotel.
00:14:44They're being very kind to you, Nichols.
00:14:46Come on, let's go.
00:14:53Have you got a car?
00:14:54Yes, but it's being fixed. It won't be ready until 9 o'clock.
00:14:57It's almost that now.
00:15:00Now, look, I'd advise you not to go back in there and create a disturbance.
00:15:02You're getting off plenty easy as it is.
00:15:14The fella has to be careful in some of these small towns.
00:15:16A stranger hasn't got a chance.
00:15:18Yeah.
00:15:19Seems to me you've got a pretty rough deal.
00:15:21How do you know so much about it?
00:15:22Well, I was in the lobby. I heard the whole argument.
00:15:24Guess this is the first bit of excitement they've had around here for months.
00:15:27It may seem funny to you, but it's no joke to me.
00:15:29Well, I meant no offense. I'm really very sympathetic.
00:15:31I only wish there was something I could do to help you.
00:15:34No, thank you.
00:15:36I've got a little time to kill. I'd just as soon work this out for myself.
00:15:51How about a cup of coffee? I'm sure you could use one.
00:15:53No, thanks.
00:15:54I can understand how you let your emotions run away with you.
00:15:58It's hard to make a man in love believe that such a thing could happen to him.
00:16:02What are you, a philosopher?
00:16:04I've been called many things, but never that.
00:16:06Well, I don't really care what you are, but get this straight.
00:16:10Alice didn't run out on me.
00:16:11I don't know what happened to her, but she certainly didn't leave of her own accord.
00:16:16Maybe not, but I've been called in on many cases to help find the missing person,
00:16:20only to discover that he or she didn't want to be found.
00:16:24No, I get it. You're a lawyer.
00:16:25No, no, I'm a private detective.
00:16:27I'm glad to know you, but I think I'll handle this alone.
00:16:35Now, wait a minute. I'm not looking for a job.
00:16:37You're having a pretty rough time, and I thought you could use a few friendly tips,
00:16:40if that's the way you feel about it.
00:16:42All right, Traynor.
00:16:44Now, tell me, if you were I, how would you go about it?
00:16:48Well, first, I'd take a photograph of Alice to the Bureau of Missing Persons.
00:16:52By the way, let's see what she looks like.
00:16:54I haven't got her picture with me.
00:16:56Fine thing.
00:16:57You see, we left in a hurry, but I know there are several in my apartment.
00:17:00Where's that?
00:17:01Back in the city. I'll get them right away.
00:17:03My car ought to be ready by now.
00:17:05Oh, but, uh, suppose Alice is still in this town somewhere?
00:17:09Uh, never.
00:17:11Whether she ran away or whatever happened, I'm sure you won't find her around these parts.
00:17:16Got to admit, you're a pretty convincing Joe.
00:17:21Now, if you want me to help you, I must know the facts.
00:17:24Alice, wasn't there anyone in this country she knew beside you?
00:17:27Sure, she had some in-laws.
00:17:29Well, then she was married.
00:17:31Yes, to an American flyer.
00:17:32Oh.
00:17:33Oh, I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong.
00:17:35Her husband's dead.
00:17:36You see, uh, Alice wasn't just a starry-eyed kid.
00:17:40Life had kicked her around quite a bit.
00:17:42Yeah, stick to the facts, Ted.
00:17:43Now, who are these in-laws?
00:17:44Uh, well, I never asked her, and she never told me.
00:17:50When did you meet her?
00:17:51About two weeks ago.
00:17:52What?
00:17:53Oh, I know that sounds pretty sudden, but sometimes you can live a lifetime in two weeks.
00:17:59That's the way it seemed to me.
00:18:01Well, after 15 years of marriage, I can understand that.
00:18:04Now, tell me, how did this two weeks of a lifetime start?
00:18:07I was staying for the weekend at my cabin on Lake Shawnee.
00:18:12It was Sunday night, my last night there.
00:18:16My pipe was drawing well, and I was listening to the hundred different sounds you hear in the country at night,
00:18:21when suddenly I heard someone walking through the brush.
00:18:28Hello? Who's there?
00:18:37Here. Over here, please.
00:18:49What happened?
00:18:51My ankle.
00:18:52Let me see.
00:18:53Oh! You're hurting me.
00:18:55Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't think it's broken, probably sprained.
00:18:59Perhaps I can try again to stand on it.
00:19:01No, you better not. Where do you live?
00:19:03Oh, no, I don't want to go back there.
00:19:04Well, you certainly won't get far on that ankle.
00:19:08Please, if you could just happen to the bus station, I must get to the city.
00:19:12No, you'll never make a bus now.
00:19:13Besides, that ankle needs a tension that's starting to swell.
00:19:17What can I do?
00:19:19Well, I can take it. My place is close by.
00:19:22I'll strap up the ankle so you can walk on it.
00:19:24Oh, I don't know what to do.
00:19:26It'll be all right, really.
00:19:28You take the little bag.
00:19:29Now, put your arm around my shoulder.
00:19:30Oh, yeah.
00:19:31There we go. Up easy.
00:19:37All right.
00:19:38There.
00:19:41And from that moment on, I was sunk.
00:19:44I couldn't help feeling there was something almost symbolic in the way I found her.
00:19:48The way she came to me.
00:19:49The facts, Ted. The facts.
00:19:51Those are facts. The way we felt.
00:19:53You mean the way you felt.
00:19:55Like a kid picking up a stray cat.
00:19:56Don't you have any heart at all?
00:19:59Never mind about me.
00:20:00What happened next?
00:20:02When we got to my cabin, I bandaged her ankle.
00:20:04I'm so grateful to you.
00:20:12But now, I must be coming.
00:20:15Now, stay off that foot.
00:20:17If you want to start up that swelling again.
00:20:19You stay right here and I'll fix an ice pack.
00:20:20You're going to so much trouble, monsieur.
00:20:25Let's drop the formalities.
00:20:26The name's Ted.
00:20:27Ted Nichols.
00:20:28What's yours?
00:20:29Alice.
00:20:30Alice?
00:20:31Oh, Alice.
00:20:33That's a beautiful name.
00:20:34Alice what?
00:20:35Alice Dupre.
00:20:40Here we are.
00:20:41You're taking such fine care of me.
00:20:46You must be a doctor.
00:20:47No, an engineer.
00:20:49But I certainly enjoy pinch hitting for a doctor.
00:20:51You would make a very good one.
00:20:54You know something?
00:20:55What?
00:20:55I feel all better already.
00:20:57Oh, that's fine.
00:20:58But, uh, considering the state of your health
00:21:01and the fact that there are no more buses tonight, I...
00:21:03Oh, no, I can't stay here.
00:21:05Oh, now, look.
00:21:06Miss Dupre.
00:21:07Let's be sensible.
00:21:08There's a beautiful bedroom in there and it's all yours.
00:21:10In the morning, I'll drive you into the city.
00:21:12I'm going in anyway.
00:21:13All right, I'll stay.
00:21:15On one condition.
00:21:16I sleep right here.
00:21:27There.
00:21:27But I don't want to put you out.
00:21:29Please don't be difficult.
00:21:30I'll get your bag.
00:21:33Ted.
00:21:34And the way she said my name,
00:21:39I knew I wanted to go on hearing her say it the rest of my life.
00:21:42You got it bad, son.
00:21:45The next day, she felt lots better.
00:21:47I took her into town with me.
00:21:48She spent the day looking for a place to live.
00:21:50And that night, she came back to you.
00:21:53Because there wasn't a single room to be had in the entire city.
00:21:57That's right.
00:21:58Well, don't you believe she told me the truth?
00:22:00Why should I?
00:22:01All it actually proves is that you're a soft touch.
00:22:04Go on.
00:22:05Let's hear how she spellbound you with her domestic skill.
00:22:08Well, as a matter of fact,
00:22:09she did cook and keep the apartment clean.
00:22:12She figured that was the least she could do.
00:22:14I bet she could whip up a terrific onion soup.
00:22:18Hey, how do you know all this?
00:22:19It's the pattern, my boy.
00:22:22Then maybe this will convince you
00:22:24that she's not the kind of a girl you still take her to be.
00:22:30Is there anything you can't cook to perfection?
00:22:33Papa insisted that I know how to cook.
00:22:36He used to say that there was no other pleasure
00:22:38that lasted a man from his birth to his death.
00:22:42You know something, Alice?
00:22:44You've got just about everything.
00:22:55Alice, what's the matter?
00:22:57Anything I've done?
00:22:59Yes.
00:23:01You've been too kind to me.
00:23:03And I don't deserve it.
00:23:05Ted, I've made up my mind.
00:23:07I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:23:09I'm going back to France.
00:23:11I'm lost here in this country.
00:23:17It frightens me.
00:23:20Now, you listen to me.
00:23:22Today, I had an offer from a firm in Brazil.
00:23:24I leave in two weeks.
00:23:25I'll be gone in six months.
00:23:27Now, tell me,
00:23:28what's wrong with you staying here
00:23:30and taking care of this place
00:23:32till I come back?
00:23:32In the meantime, you can look for work,
00:23:35do anything you wish.
00:23:37That's the trouble, Ted.
00:23:39You want to do so much
00:23:40and you don't even know anything about me.
00:23:43I know everything about you I want.
00:23:46You never even asked me
00:23:47what I was running away from that night.
00:23:49Well, I'm sure if you'd wanted me to know,
00:23:51you'd have told me.
00:23:52You have a right to know.
00:23:54Why?
00:23:57I was in love once
00:23:58with an American soldier,
00:24:00a transport pilot.
00:24:07He was killed in France
00:24:09the night we were married.
00:24:12About six months ago,
00:24:14my mother passed away.
00:24:16I was left alone
00:24:17with nothing but sad memories.
00:24:20My life became unbearable.
00:24:22So I decided to come to America.
00:24:28My husband had told me
00:24:29to go to his father
00:24:30if anything happened to him.
00:24:32Why didn't you go there?
00:24:34His father had died.
00:24:35There were other relatives
00:24:36and aunts and cousins.
00:24:38I never felt at ease with them.
00:24:41Then one night,
00:24:42when I was alone in the house,
00:24:43one of them came back.
00:24:46And he...
00:24:47Oh, I couldn't stand that.
00:24:49I had to run away.
00:24:50Oh, I don't even want
00:24:52to think about it.
00:24:54It's like a bad dream.
00:24:56Oh, Dan.
00:24:57Of course you don't have
00:24:57to think about it, darling.
00:24:59In all I'm aware,
00:25:00I'm glad it happened.
00:25:02Otherwise,
00:25:02I'd never have met you.
00:25:07Now, speaking of dreams,
00:25:08don't you think
00:25:09you'd better get to bed?
00:25:10Yes, it is getting late.
00:25:14Hadn't we better sleep?
00:25:15Hmm?
00:25:16You know,
00:25:17heads and tails.
00:25:23Heads again.
00:25:24And you win again.
00:25:25Well, I win every night.
00:25:27You have very bad luck.
00:25:29Good night, Dad.
00:25:30You know,
00:25:43I think I'm very fortunate
00:25:44to have met you.
00:25:54I can't go on like this.
00:25:57That is why I must leave.
00:25:58Will you marry me?
00:26:01Marry you?
00:26:02But I've only just met you.
00:26:05You don't know me.
00:26:06Please, Alice.
00:26:08You couldn't love me so soon.
00:26:10You'll feel sorry for me
00:26:11because I'm alone.
00:26:13You pity me.
00:26:14But pity isn't love.
00:26:18And she went on that way,
00:26:19trying to convince me
00:26:20that I was mistaking pity for love.
00:26:22that pity was a terrible thing
00:26:26because it meant that you
00:26:26looked down upon a person
00:26:28as weaker than yourself.
00:26:30And when I would finally realize that,
00:26:32I'd begin to hate her.
00:26:33She was right.
00:26:34No, she was wrong.
00:26:36I didn't pity her in the least.
00:26:38She was my idea of an ideal woman.
00:26:43I'm telling you all of this
00:26:44only to prove that marriage was my idea.
00:26:46I'm the one that insisted.
00:26:47She fought it every step of the way.
00:26:50Does that sound like the kind of a girl
00:26:51who was trying to take me?
00:26:53She might be extremely clever.
00:26:55Now I give up.
00:26:57And she never mentioned
00:26:58the name of her in-laws to you?
00:27:00Not that I remember.
00:27:02Doesn't that strike you
00:27:03as being somewhat strange?
00:27:05Not particularly.
00:27:06After the first time,
00:27:07we didn't talk about them again.
00:27:08Anything else you can recall about her?
00:27:14Oh, wait.
00:27:16There was one other thing.
00:27:17It happened later that same night.
00:27:38Don't leave me.
00:27:41It happened later.
00:27:42Nevermind.
00:27:43Don't leave me.
00:27:44And be yn si mor
00:27:46or datliad
00:27:50or datliad
00:27:57that I may be
00:28:00going
00:28:01tozer
00:28:02or
00:28:04coming
00:28:06here
00:28:07Alice!
00:28:14Alice, what's wrong?
00:28:19What's the matter?
00:28:22A man, through the window.
00:28:37There's no one there. What happened?
00:28:39But I saw him. He was going through my things.
00:28:42And when I screamed, he went out through the window.
00:28:44Sure you weren't dreaming?
00:28:45Oh, but no, I tell you, I saw him.
00:28:47Well, if there was a man, you certainly frightened him away when you screamed.
00:28:50Oh, but you're laughing at me.
00:28:52No, I'm not. Look, I locked the window.
00:28:54Try to get some sleep, huh?
00:28:59Good night, darling.
00:29:07I still don't know if that really happened or if it was only a bad dream.
00:29:12She just had a nightmare. Too many Crepes Suzettes.
00:29:15And now I'm going to make you a prediction.
00:29:18When we reach your apartment, you'll find a note and all her things gone.
00:29:22Well, be that as it may, I've still got to find her.
00:29:37Good morning, George.
00:29:51Welcome back, Mr. Nichols.
00:29:53Where's the missus?
00:29:54Uh, she stayed up at the lodge.
00:29:56I had to come into town for a few hours to take care of some business.
00:29:59Any mail for me?
00:30:01Well, not a thing, Mr. Nichols.
00:30:03Thanks.
00:30:07So far, I'm 50% wrong.
00:30:10It'll be an even hundred before another minute.
00:30:12Want to bet?
00:30:13Uh-uh. Now you'd have to give me odds.
00:30:23Everything just as it was when Alice and I left here.
00:30:26Hmm.
00:30:27Come on.
00:30:37Now who's right?
00:30:38Okay, okay, I'll take it all back.
00:30:40Now get me your picture and I'll go to work.
00:30:50Here, take your choice.
00:30:55Is this her husband with her?
00:30:56Yes.
00:30:57That was taken the day of their marriage.
00:31:07Look what I found, trainer.
00:31:11Her marriage certificate.
00:31:13That's her married name, see?
00:31:14It's Barkley.
00:31:15And her husband's name was John.
00:31:18Barkley.
00:31:21Barkley.
00:31:22Where have I heard that name before?
00:31:27I've got it.
00:31:29Lake Shawnee.
00:31:30It's that big place near the water.
00:31:31The Barkley House, they call it.
00:31:33Now I'm beginning to understand a few things.
00:31:35It must have been the Barkley House she was running away from.
00:31:38And that cousin.
00:31:40Maybe he had something to do with her disappearance.
00:31:42Come on, trainer.
00:31:43Let's get up there and find out.
00:31:44Wait a minute, Nichols.
00:31:45What is it?
00:32:05You walked right into that one, didn't you?
00:32:08But now at least you know just where you stand.
00:32:11There are others, shall we say, interested in Alice.
00:32:14And that marriage certificate must be of great importance to someone.
00:32:18That's why trainer went to all this trouble to get it away from you.
00:32:22You're on your own now, Ted.
00:32:24And with no time to spare.
00:32:36That man I came in with, did you see him leave?
00:32:39Why yes, about ten minutes ago.
00:32:41Did he say anything to you?
00:32:42No.
00:32:43He asked me to call him a cab.
00:32:45He seemed in a hurry.
00:32:46Is there anything wrong?
00:32:48There sure is.
00:33:12Yes, sir?
00:33:13What is it?
00:33:14I want to see Mr. Barkley.
00:33:15And don't tell me he isn't home.
00:33:16Well, now.
00:33:17What's the meaning of this?
00:33:18Forcing your way into a strange home.
00:33:19Never mind.
00:33:20Just tell Barkley that Ted Nichols is here.
00:33:22What is it, mother?
00:33:23Mother.
00:33:24Mother.
00:33:25This is Mr. Nichols, son.
00:33:26He insists on seeing you.
00:33:27Yes, sir.
00:33:28I want to see Mr. Barkley.
00:33:29And don't tell me he isn't home.
00:33:30Well, now.
00:33:31What's the meaning of this?
00:33:32Forcing your way into a strange home.
00:33:33Never mind.
00:33:34Just tell Barkley that Ted Nichols is here.
00:33:35What is it, mother?
00:33:36Mother.
00:33:37This is Mr. Nichols, son.
00:33:38He insists on seeing you.
00:33:40So you're Barkley.
00:33:41What did you do with Alice?
00:33:42Please.
00:33:43Please, young man.
00:33:44You don't realize what you're doing.
00:33:45This is her husband.
00:33:46Alice is home.
00:33:47Alice is home.
00:33:48What's the meaning of this?
00:33:49What's the meaning of this?
00:33:50Forcing your way into a strange home?
00:33:51Never mind.
00:33:52Just tell Barkley that Ted Nichols is here.
00:33:53What is it, mother?
00:33:54Mother.
00:33:55This is Mr. Nichols, son.
00:33:56He insists on seeing you.
00:33:57So you're Barkley.
00:33:58What did you do with Alice?
00:34:00Please.
00:34:01Please, young man.
00:34:04You don't realize what you're doing.
00:34:07This is her husband.
00:34:09Alice's husband.
00:34:10Her husband?
00:34:11You?
00:34:12No, no.
00:34:13No, no.
00:34:14That can't be.
00:34:15That's a lie.
00:34:16Be careful what you say.
00:34:17But Alice told me that her husband was dead.
00:34:19Yes, I know.
00:34:20Killed in France on her wedding night.
00:34:22And after the war, she came here to live with my father,
00:34:24but found he had died.
00:34:26That's what she told you, isn't it?
00:34:28Yes, that's just what she said.
00:34:30I really don't owe you any explanation,
00:34:32but under the circumstances, I suppose you have a right to know.
00:34:35Providing you put that gun away.
00:34:39Mother, I can handle this alone.
00:34:44Cigarettes?
00:34:45Now.
00:34:46I met Alice in Normandy shortly after the invasion.
00:34:50I was in the Air Corps, the transport pilot for paratroopers.
00:34:56To make it brief, we fell in love and were married.
00:34:58That same night, I left for a run over Germany and was knocked over.
00:35:01There was a false report of my death.
00:35:03Under the shock and the climax of weeks of strain, Alice's mind snapped.
00:35:09Oh, yes, she recovered.
00:35:11Except for occasional relapses when she believes herself to be a widow and free to marry again.
00:35:15Yeah, that's what she gave me to understand.
00:35:18Oh, no doubt she did.
00:35:19It made it sound very logical.
00:35:21The only thing that makes us realize she's about to have one of these spells
00:35:25are her strange delusions she's being mistreated at home.
00:35:28That's exactly what she told me.
00:35:30And, uh, she usually builds it up into quite a tale of horror.
00:35:34In spite of everything, I don't believe a word of it. I know you're lying.
00:35:38Would you like to hear it from her own lips?
00:35:41You wouldn't dare.
00:35:43Mother!
00:35:47Would you come here a minute, please?
00:35:50Yes, John. What is it?
00:35:52See if Alice is all right. I want to take Mr. Nichols up to see her.
00:35:55Oh, but aren't you afraid it might excite her too much?
00:35:59I'm quite sure Mr. Nichols will have sense enough not to upset her.
00:36:03Very well.
00:36:04I've been thanking my lucky stars that we found Alice before it was too late.
00:36:09It's a good thing that minister wasn't at home last night.
00:36:12Yeah. You know all the details, don't you?
00:36:17Couldn't be by any chance you have a fellow called Traynor working for you.
00:36:21Indeed I did. He was the man who traced Alice.
00:36:23He checked with the service station at the lake.
00:36:26You stopped there for some gas before driving back to town and the attendant knew you.
00:36:29Then why didn't you come to my apartment instead of letting things go this far?
00:36:33Mother and I did the moment Traynor phoned us and gave us your address.
00:36:37It had taken him quite a while to locate you in the city.
00:36:40We missed you by minutes.
00:36:41It's a good thing you told the clerk where you were going.
00:36:43Still sounds scurry to me.
00:36:46All right, John. You may come up now.
00:37:03Please remember, you must only stay a minute.
00:37:18Alice, darling. What's wrong? What happened?
00:37:23I'm sorry, Ted. Please forgive me.
00:37:26Forgive me?
00:37:27Forgive you?
00:37:28Well, you don't mean you're really married to that man.
00:37:32Yes. I am his wife.
00:37:35You said you wanted to hear it from her own lips.
00:37:37Well, you have. Now, will you be good enough to leave?
00:37:40I'll see Mr. Nichols to the door.
00:37:51I'll see you later.
00:37:52I'll see you later.
00:38:01Arnold, you may come out now.
00:38:08You'll forget in time. Just keep yourself occupied.
00:38:11Or better yet, try to get away for a while.
00:38:13I'm leaving shortly for South America. I've got a job down there.
00:38:15Well, good for you.
00:38:17I wish I could get away myself.
00:38:18These past few years with Alice,
00:38:20ever since we got back from France, have been trying.
00:38:22I suppose so.
00:38:24Get up, kid. Show's over.
00:38:42Well, the best of luck to you and have a good trip.
00:38:44Well, thanks.
00:39:03Well, that takes care of Mr. Nichols.
00:39:04If you'd stayed away from her in the first place,
00:39:06we wouldn't have had all this trouble.
00:39:07Let's not go through all that again.
00:39:09I told you I was sorry, but I made up for it now.
00:39:11You've got to hand it to Mom for putting this over.
00:39:14You realize, of course, you made a mistake.
00:39:16I did?
00:39:17Sure. That dope's going to South America.
00:39:18He naturally would have taken Alice with him.
00:39:20If you hadn't insisted on bringing her back,
00:39:22all this could have been avoided.
00:39:23I don't make my plans with a crystal ball.
00:39:26When you have a fortune in the palm of your hand,
00:39:28you don't take chances.
00:39:30If it comes right down to it,
00:39:31she doesn't deserve the estate anyway.
00:39:33I didn't come here for the estate in the first place.
00:39:36I told you I knew nothing about it.
00:39:38You can keep the money in the house.
00:39:40All I want is to be with Ted.
00:39:43Maybe that's the way you feel right now.
00:39:45But that boyfriend of yours is apt to change your mind.
00:39:48Never.
00:39:49I swear neither one of us will ever bother you.
00:39:51Please, please believe me.
00:39:54Let me go now, or I'll never see him again.
00:40:01Sorry, kid. You'll have to do it mother's way.
00:40:03A pretty girl like you won't have any trouble finding another guy.
00:40:06I hate all of you.
00:40:11Better go downstairs and see Traynor.
00:40:13Pay him off and get rid of him.
00:40:17What are you going to do with her now, Mom?
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:20You don't suppose she's going to stay here quietly after we clear her out, do you?
00:40:23We'll talk about that later.
00:40:26Alice might not agree with what I have in mind.
00:40:40Sorry you had to wait so long.
00:40:42It's all right, Mr. Barkley.
00:40:43It's not your fault we were so rudely interrupted by Mr. Nichols.
00:40:46Well, it's a good thing you got here first and told us what to expect.
00:40:49How's Mrs. Barkley feeling now?
00:40:51Does it upset her much to see Nichols again?
00:40:53No, she took it like a soldier, but I'm glad it's over.
00:40:55Well, let's get down to Poise.
00:40:56Oh, sure.
00:40:58This is what I got from his apartment.
00:41:02Well, she even took her marriage license with her.
00:41:04Yeah, the funny part is, Nichols didn't know your wife's married name until he found that certificate in his desk.
00:41:09Poor fellow. He has my sympathy.
00:41:12Yeah, mine too.
00:41:14Well, I believe this should take care of everything.
00:41:17Thank you. You've done a good job.
00:41:19Any time, Mr. Barkley, and I hope you'll call me again if I can be of service.
00:41:22Well, that's not very likely. You see, we're leaving here.
00:41:24Oh?
00:41:25We've sold this place to make Alice forget about the past.
00:41:28Mm-hmm.
00:41:35Thanks again, and goodbye.
00:41:36Goodbye to you, sir.
00:41:45He didn't act suspicious, did he?
00:41:46Not in the least.
00:41:47And look what he brought us.
00:41:48The only piece of evidence that would have made it possible for Alice to prove her claim.
00:41:51Now we're in the clear.
00:41:53With that town in France destroyed, where the marriage took place and all its records gone,
00:41:57she hasn't got a chance.
00:41:59She could still make a lot of trouble for us if we let her go.
00:42:03Wait a minute.
00:42:04It gives me an idea.
00:42:10I hope you know what you're doing.
00:42:12Spencer, 7925.
00:42:22This is Shawnee, 1368.
00:42:29What do you want?
00:42:31About them trunks, Mrs. Barkley.
00:42:33Well, haven't you brought them up yet?
00:42:35Yes, yes, operator, I'm holding on.
00:42:39Well, don't stand there.
00:42:40Go and bring them up to my room right away.
00:42:43Yes, ma'am.
00:42:46Is this Woodland Sanitarium?
00:42:50I'd like to speak to Dr. Grantland, please.
00:43:10I'd like to speak to the others.
00:43:12Let's go.
00:43:16I'd like to see you into this car.
00:43:19Did you hear the town?
00:43:22I'd like to hear the land.
00:43:23You'd like to see it.
00:43:25I'd like to hear the land.
00:43:26I've been able to get to a tree.
00:43:28I've never seen your friend as his son.
00:43:29He's like to see it.
00:43:30We're in the same way.
00:43:31You're in your house.
00:43:33You're in your house.
00:43:34I'm telling him.
00:43:35You're in your house.
00:43:36I'm telling you.
00:44:37You've got to find out for yourself.
00:44:40And there's only one way to do it.
00:44:42Go back and somehow see her alone.
00:44:44Go back and see her alone.
00:45:14Go back and see her alone.
00:45:44Go back and see her alone.
00:45:46Hold him, Doug.
00:45:47Hold him!
00:45:48Hold him!
00:45:51Good boy, you.
00:45:52Good boy.
00:45:55You was here this afternoon, wasn't you?
00:45:57Yes, I was.
00:45:58What are you doing this late out here in the garden?
00:45:59Well, I rang the bell.
00:46:00No one answered.
00:46:01Nobody home.
00:46:02Hold it, Doug.
00:46:03Will they tell you where they went?
00:46:05They left here for good, bagging baggage.
00:46:07New owners are coming next week.
00:46:08That's why I'm sticking around, waiting for them to show.
00:46:10Well, never mind that.
00:46:11They take Alice with them?
00:46:12Sure.
00:46:13They took her along.
00:46:14But she ain't going to be with them.
00:46:16What are you talking about?
00:46:17Oh, she's been sick.
00:46:18They're taking her to some rest home.
00:46:20She's been carrying on pretty bad.
00:46:22Out of her head, I expect.
00:46:23Did they tell you the name of the place?
00:46:25No.
00:46:26But I heard the missus mention it when she was telephoning.
00:46:29What was it?
00:46:30It was, um...
00:46:32I clean forgot.
00:46:35Funny how I've been getting lately.
00:46:36I just can't remember a thing.
00:46:38Well, please try to remember it.
00:46:40Hold it, Duke.
00:46:41He don't mean no harm.
00:46:43Well, it had something to do with trees.
00:46:46Elmwood, wildwood, pinecrest.
00:46:50Uh, I ain't that terrible.
00:46:53I know the name of the doctor, though.
00:46:55I know his name as well as a gnome who owned,
00:46:56but I sure can't recollect the name of the place.
00:46:59Okay, okay.
00:46:59What's the doctor's name?
00:47:00Grantland.
00:47:00Why didn't you ask me that in the first place?
00:47:04Drat that fellow.
00:47:06I'll be awake all night trying to think of that woodland place.
00:47:10Woodland.
00:47:11That's it.
00:47:11Hey!
00:47:13Oh, nope.
00:47:14Darned of oil.
00:47:15It serves them right for being in such a hurry.
00:47:19Come on, boy.
00:47:25What took them so long?
00:47:27Do you want me to tell you exactly what the photographer said
00:47:30about making enlargements at this hour of the night?
00:47:32Save it.
00:47:34Ah, just as I thought.
00:47:36Yes, my eyes are still pretty sharp.
00:47:38This is a picture of Alice Barkley and her husband, John,
00:47:40taken in France.
00:47:41What's so unusual about that?
00:47:43Only that the man who told me he was her husband
00:47:45and hired me to find her doesn't look anything like this guy.
00:47:48It's a fine time to find it out.
00:47:50Well, I couldn't be sure from this small picture
00:47:51I took away from Nichols.
00:47:52That's why I had it enlarged.
00:47:54So you've been on the wrong side of the fence.
00:47:56I'm afraid so.
00:47:58I'm sorry, boss.
00:47:59Anything I can do?
00:48:00Not at the moment.
00:48:02Where are you going?
00:48:03Back to the Barkley house to ask a few questions.
00:48:05Thanks.
00:49:05Hello?
00:49:11Woodland Sanitarium.
00:49:13I'd like to speak to Dr. Grantland, please.
00:49:15Just a moment.
00:49:16It's for you, doctor, on extension one.
00:49:22Dr. Grantland speaking.
00:49:24This is, my name's Simpson, doctor.
00:49:27Howard Simpson.
00:49:28You've been highly recommended to me
00:49:30and I'd like to come over and see you.
00:49:31Well, that seems to be your trouble, Mr. Simpson.
00:49:33I, uh, have these pains in the back of my head.
00:49:37Oh, sure.
00:49:38I've had a physical check-up, x-rays and everything.
00:49:40Very well.
00:49:41Then drop in to see me tomorrow.
00:49:42I'll put the nurse back on to give you an appointment.
00:49:44No, then just a minute, doctor.
00:49:46Tomorrow might be too late.
00:49:48Well, you see, when I have these pains,
00:49:50I have moments of despondency,
00:49:52afraid of what I might do.
00:49:53As a matter of fact, I'm feeling pretty low right now.
00:49:57Then maybe you'd better come over right away.
00:49:59Thank you, doctor.
00:50:01Thank you very much.
00:50:10Come on, talk.
00:50:11I tell you, I didn't have anything to do with them people.
00:50:13I don't know nothing about what they was doing.
00:50:15You mean you worked right here and don't know what was going on?
00:50:17Nope, I stayed clear of them.
00:50:19I didn't like them anymore than old Ed Barkley did himself
00:50:21after he took them in.
00:50:22Ed Barkley?
00:50:23Who's he?
00:50:23He was John's father.
00:50:25I'd been with him since before John was even born.
00:50:27John's father?
00:50:28I never heard of him.
00:50:30No, you wouldn't.
00:50:31Because he's dead.
00:50:33Same as John, who was killed in the war.
00:50:35You say John was lost in the war?
00:50:37That's right.
00:50:39Well, who was the fellow I talked to this afternoon?
00:50:41Oh, that's Charlie, John's cousin.
00:50:45What about the old lady and the others?
00:50:46She's Ed Barkley's sister-in-law and them's her children.
00:50:50They were the closest living relations to the old man.
00:50:53Except in this here French girl, maybe.
00:50:56Seeing she's John's widow.
00:50:59Hmm.
00:51:00And this place really belongs to her.
00:51:03Come to think of it, mister, you're about right.
00:51:06Come on, Pop.
00:51:07You've got things to tell the police.
00:51:16Come on, Pop.
00:51:25Oh, my God.
00:51:26Oh, my God.
00:51:27Oh, my God.
00:51:27Oh, my God.
00:51:28Oh, my God.
00:51:30I'm Howard Simpson. The doctor's expecting me.
00:51:53Oh, yes. Come in, please.
00:51:58Right this way.
00:52:00This is Mr. Simpson, Dr. Grant.
00:52:06Oh, yes, Mr. Simpson. Sit down, won't you?
00:52:10I'm rather curious to know who referred you to me.
00:52:13Uh, well, you see, doctor, my home's in Albany.
00:52:18You came here especially to see me?
00:52:19No, not exactly. I'm on my vacation.
00:52:23See, for the past year, I've been under the care of Dr. Abner Green.
00:52:27Abner Green. Never heard of him.
00:52:29Well, uh, he's heard of you.
00:52:31He told me that if I had one of my spells while I was down here, that I was to contact you at once.
00:52:37I see. Very kind of him.
00:52:39Where do you have those pains?
00:52:45Right here.
00:52:45Mm-hmm.
00:52:46Take off your coat. I'll check up on your heart.
00:52:51You know, sometimes these symptoms are merely indicative of a nervous condition.
00:52:55You don't seem like the nervous type.
00:52:57Well, looks are sometimes deceiving, doctor.
00:52:59I'm constantly aware of that.
00:53:02I suppose, uh, Dr. Green has those x-rays you spoke of?
00:53:05Oh, oh, yes.
00:53:06Good. See if you can get Dr. Green on the phone for me.
00:53:08Yes, doctor.
00:53:08Long distance. Give me the Albany operator, please.
00:53:21Hmm, you have a very erratic heartbeat.
00:53:26All right, thank you.
00:53:28All the lines to Albany are busy. The operator will call us back.
00:53:31Well, never mind. It's been waiting for morning.
00:53:32Dr. Green.
00:53:39Doctor.
00:53:41I'll take care of that while you're staying here.
00:53:43Don't worry. I had no intention of using it.
00:53:45I know, I know. You just carry it around for self-protection.
00:53:48Yes, that's right. I travel a great deal, sometimes late at night.
00:53:52That must be the new patient, doctor.
00:53:54Excuse me a moment.
00:53:58I'll be right back.
00:54:00Sit down, Mr. Simpson, and try to relax.
00:54:02We don't generally have this kind of disturbance.
00:54:10Woman must be pretty sick.
00:54:13Isn't just a young girl, too.
00:54:15Very sad case.
00:54:16Total loss of memory.
00:54:18Even insists she isn't married to the man we know as her husband.
00:54:25Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Simpson.
00:54:26Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
00:54:28Oh, that's all right.
00:54:29Dr. Grantland has handled many cases like hers
00:54:31and always with great success.
00:54:33And I'm sure he'll take good care of you, too.
00:54:37You'd better get to bed, Mr. Simpson.
00:54:39I'll give you a complete examination in the morning.
00:54:42Is Mr. Simpson's room ready?
00:54:43Yes, I'm putting him in 207.
00:54:44Good. Did you bring some things with you?
00:54:46Well, no, you see, I didn't expect I'd have to stay.
00:54:49No, that's all right.
00:54:49We'll give you what you'll need.
00:54:51This way, please.
00:54:52No, no, they're lying.
00:55:11Now, please don't worry.
00:55:14The doctor will quiet her very soon.
00:55:19This is Mr. Simpson.
00:55:21Will you get him some sleeping garments?
00:55:22He didn't come prepared to stay.
00:55:23Certainly.
00:55:24He'll be in 207.
00:55:26This way, please.
00:55:42Better get ready for bed.
00:55:44The doctor will be in to see you once more
00:55:45before you go to sleep.
00:55:46The doctor will be in to see you once more.
00:56:16No, no, let me go.
00:56:22This is terrible, son.
00:56:25Poor dear, she must be suffering,
00:56:26so I can't bear to walk.
00:56:28I know it's awful, Mother,
00:56:28but we're doing the best we can for her.
00:56:33What's the matter now?
00:56:34We can't get her to quiet down.
00:56:36She falls asleep for a few minutes
00:56:37then starts all over again.
00:56:46I don't like to do this,
00:57:02but I guess we'll have to use the jacket.
00:57:03No, no, no!
00:57:12No!
00:57:14No!
00:57:14No!
00:57:33No!
00:57:46I don't like to sit here.
00:57:47Oh, my God.
00:58:17Shh.
00:58:19Darling, quiet. Darling, I'll get you out of here.
00:58:32Now, please step in here a moment so we can complete the financial arrangements.
00:58:40Oh, dearest, don't ever leave me again.
00:58:42But, darling, I didn't run away.
00:58:44I know I was too trusting, but they came to me to the hotel, begged me to forget what happened.
00:58:49Said they would take me to you. We'd go home and have a big wedding.
00:58:52That hotel clerk must have given him plenty to make up that phony story about you running out on you.
00:58:56But never mind that now, darling. Where are your clothes?
00:58:58In there.
00:59:05Hurry up.
00:59:10I guess we've seen the last of her.
00:59:12It's just about time to make the plane.
00:59:14Sybil and Arnold will be worried.
00:59:16Well, what are you stopping for?
00:59:18Wait a minute. That looks to me like Nichols' car.
00:59:20Well, it's impossible. It couldn't be.
00:59:22It couldn't be.
00:59:23Well, what are you stopping for?
00:59:24Wait a minute. That looks to me like Nichols' car.
00:59:26Well, it's impossible. It couldn't be.
00:59:28But if I hadn't told you I was his wife, they would have killed both of us.
00:59:32I know. I understand. Don't talk about it now. Please hurry.
00:59:34I'm ready, dear.
00:59:36I'm ready, dear.
00:59:38I'm ready, dear.
00:59:40I'm ready.
00:59:42I'm ready, dear.
00:59:44I'm ready.
00:59:48I'm ready, dear.
00:59:50I'm ready.
00:59:54I'm ready.
00:59:56I'm ready.
00:59:58I'm ready, dear.
01:00:00Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:00:22He's a paranoiac.
01:00:23Put him in the straitjacket.
01:00:26Not so fast, mister.
01:00:27You're holding the wrong man.
01:00:30That's the one we want.
01:00:30I don't know what your game is, but I owe it something to you, too.
01:00:33Just a minute.
01:00:34He doesn't deserve that.
01:00:35You'd be in a fine fix if it wasn't for him.
01:00:38Well, I still don't know whose side you're on.
01:00:39I can't blame you, Nichols.
01:00:40I admit I made a mistake.
01:00:42They certainly had me fooled.
01:00:43Okay, forget it.
01:00:44But that doesn't go for that phony doctor.
01:00:46I demand his arrest for keeping Alice here against her will.
01:00:49This institution is of high professional standing.
01:00:51When Mr. Barkley brought this lady here, he proved to me that he was her husband.
01:00:54He had every legal right to put her under my care.
01:00:56But I told you he was lying.
01:00:58And in spite of that, you didn't bother to find out whether he was actually the man whose name appeared on the marriage license.
01:01:02All right, cut out the argument.
01:01:03You're all going to the DA's office and you can explain everything to him.
01:01:06Well, what about Mrs. Barkley and her other son and daughter?
01:01:08They'll be there waiting for us.
01:01:10Come on.
01:01:14Oh, uh, I almost forgot.
01:01:16There's a man locked up in the closet of my room.
01:01:19You'd better let him out before he suffocates and I'm accused of murder.
01:01:24All right, let him out.
01:01:24Come on, Doc, you two.
01:01:38Pardon me, sweetheart, if I've asked you this before, but are you nervous?
01:01:41Not this time, darling.
01:01:43You certainly were lucky, Ted.
01:01:56It might have ended differently.
01:01:58With you and Alice worlds apart.
01:02:01But fate this time was on your side.
01:02:04Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
