00:00Subtitling by Radio-Canada
00:30And starring William Bendix
00:31Our story begins in a doctor's office
00:35A patient is sitting there
00:37He walked into this office nine minutes ago
00:42Once upon a time, there was a psychiatrist named Arnold Gillespie
00:48And a patient whose name was Peter Jensen
00:51Mr. Jensen walked into the office nine minutes ago
00:54It is 11 o'clock, Saturday morning, October 4th, 1958
00:59It is perhaps chronologically trite to be so specific about an hour and the date
01:04But involved in this story is a time element
01:08Well, Mr. Jensen, I think we have some of the facts
01:13Your age, unmarried, no physical affections of any serious nature
01:18And no previous visits to a psychiatrist
01:21No previous arrests either
01:22And the only time I ever saw a psychiatrist before was in a cartoon
01:26Well, at best you'll find this helpful
01:28And at worst, harmless
01:30Cigarette?
01:34No, thanks
01:35No
01:40Your occupation
01:43Various
01:45Part-time unsuccessful bookie
01:47Card dealer
01:48Oh, I attended bar once
01:50Just down the street from here
01:52A couple of doors
01:52Andy's place
01:53Well, how do I stack up, doctor?
01:56Am I subnormal, abnormal, or
01:58Just an average American lad?
02:01Family?
02:02Father and mother
02:04Both married
02:05Scranton, Pennsylvania
02:07He was a butcher
02:08Butcher?
02:10Yeah, he was highly successful
02:12His thumbs weighed 12 pounds
02:14That's a good joke
02:15You think so?
02:18Maybe you should see a psychiatrist
02:19I think I will take one of those cigarettes
02:23Sure, help yourself
02:24Well, do you want me to pull up a couch now?
02:35Well, not necessarily
02:36If you're comfortable here
02:37Let's start right here
02:39You can start by telling me why you came
02:42All right
02:42Nothing shakes you up, does it?
02:47How do you mean?
02:48I mean everything is calm and cool
02:50And you're the boss
02:50When I walked in here
02:52I could see you making inventory
02:54Check the cut of the clothes
02:56Check the language
02:57And up there inside your head
02:59That's where you marked down all the results
03:01And then later on
03:03You put the whole thing in pigeon holes
03:05This fits here
03:06This fits there
03:07You got me pegged, haven't you?
03:10No
03:10You figure this is some sort of
03:12Minor league horse player
03:13Maybe a little hungover
03:15Maybe a little buggy
03:16But either way
03:17Maybe about a 40-degree tilt
03:19My cigarette went out
03:26All right
03:36Pigeonhole this one
03:37Look, if said minor league horse player
03:43Tells you a half-witted story
03:45Can you tell me in one simple statement
03:48Whether or not I'm off my rocker
03:50Without dragging in Sigmund Freud
03:52And a lot of medical school English
03:54Can you tell me what's wrong with me?
03:56I can try
03:56I keep having a dream
04:01Aren't you going to mark it down?
04:05You keep talking
04:06I'll just make some notes on things
04:08That I think are pertinent
04:09I don't know whether or not
04:11Any of this will sound relevant
04:12I do know it'll probably sound nuts
04:15I know it sounds nuts to me
04:16Anyway, there it is
04:17Okay, tell me about it
04:19Well, I keep having this dream
04:21I've had it, I don't know
04:22Five or six times now
04:24What sort of dream?
04:26A real one
04:27Did you ever have any wacky dreams
04:30That seemed real?
04:31Oh, sure
04:32I guess we all have
04:33But have they happened over and over again?
04:36Recurred?
04:37Same dream?
04:38The same dream
04:39Identical
04:39It doesn't change
04:40What's it about?
04:41It always begins the same way
04:44I'm asleep
04:46I'm sound asleep
04:48Oh, oh, oh
05:02Oh, 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
05:32Subtitling by Radio-Canada
06:02What do you call this place, anyway?
06:05I beg your pardon, sir.
06:06I ask you the name of the hotel.
06:08Look, do you work here or are you just inspecting the kitchen?
06:11I ask you what the name of the hotel was.
06:15This is the Imperial Hawaiian, sir.
06:17Oh.
06:18Are you in the right hotel, Mr. James?
06:20I haven't got the slightest...
06:22Yeah, yeah, I'm in the right hotel.
06:30Oh.
06:32Oh.
06:51Oh.
06:51Oh.
06:52December 6th.
07:17Yeah?
07:18The maid, sir?
07:19Do you want me to clean up now?
07:21No.
07:22Wait a minute.
07:23Yes.
07:27Good morning, sir.
07:28Did you sleep well?
07:31Mother, that's a big question.
07:34All right.
07:34Do you want to explain the gag now?
07:36Excuse me, sir?
07:37I asked you if you wanted to explain the gag.
07:40You tell the guy who put you up to this he's on the threshold of a deep wound.
07:44You tell him I'm going to take out his teeth one by one.
07:48This is October, isn't it?
07:50October, sir?
07:51What's October?
07:5430 days until October.
07:56April, June, and November.
07:57Remember?
07:58This month it's October, isn't it?
08:01October?
08:01I don't believe so, sir.
08:03What do you mean you don't believe so?
08:05Is it October or isn't it?
08:07It's December, sir.
08:09December 6th.
08:10What is it?
08:11It's December 6th.
08:13Yeah, that's what I thought you said.
08:16December 6th.
08:18Are you all right, sir?
08:20Yeah, I'm all right.
08:21Except that I have obviously just come down the home stretch of the biggest toot in the
08:25history of man.
08:27You say this is December 6th?
08:29Well, last night I was in New York City at the Benjamin Willard Hotel and it was in October.
08:34You're probably overtired, sir.
08:36Maybe you aren't feeling so well.
08:38Why don't I come back later?
08:39I'm not overtired.
08:40Not feeling so well.
08:41That is the champion blue ribbon understatement of the year.
08:44A toot that takes two months and winds up in...
08:47What's the name of the place?
08:48What's the name of what place, sir?
08:49This place!
08:51It's the Imperial Hawaiian Hotel.
08:54That's what I mean.
08:56Since when is there an Imperial Hawaiian Hotel in New York City?
09:00It isn't in New York City, sir.
09:02It's in Honolulu.
09:05Well, I figure.
09:06It's in Honolulu.
09:08Which leads me to the next question.
09:10What am I doing in Honolulu?
09:12I don't know, sir.
09:15That's what I thought you said.
09:17Now, there's just one more question.
09:19Really, sir?
09:21Why don't I come back later?
09:25Come here.
09:33What, sir?
09:34Does this hotel have a bar?
09:37Yes, sir.
09:37It's got a lovely bar.
09:39And where is the lovely bar?
09:40Downstairs, sir.
09:42Off the lobby.
09:43If I ever have another mother, I'd want it to be you.
09:45Come back later, honey, and we'll dance.
09:47Yes, sir.
09:51Absolutely, sir.
09:57Honolulu.
09:58Would you like a table, sir?
10:10No, I want to sit at the bar.
10:11But there are no seats left at the bar, sir.
10:14Look, if the President of the United States came in here and wanted to sit at the bar, you'd have a seat for him, wouldn't you?
10:19Well, of course.
10:20Well, I guarantee you he won't be here, so I'll just take his seat.
10:23That seat's occupied.
10:36You know it.
10:37I want a dry martini.
10:39I want it so dry the olive will come up coffee.
10:42You're the boss.
10:53Look, I'll tell you what you better do.
10:58You better just keep them coming.
10:59I'm on the last lap of the biggest binge in the world.
11:02It's a rough night, huh?
11:0330 rough nights.
11:05Would you believe it?
11:06I fell asleep in New York a month ago and I woke up here this morning?
11:10Dear boy, I know the feeling.
11:12Once I fell asleep at the Dublin airport and I woke up on a British troop train going to Palestine.
11:19and that's my record, 43 days in the arms of Morpheus.
11:25Well, bless you.
11:28Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, my wife, my drink.
11:32Oh, I'm sorry.
11:34Oh, that's all right.
11:35Take nothing of it.
11:36Have you been married for a long time?
11:37One day, six hours and 12 minutes.
11:41Well, I never would have guessed it.
11:43Are you from New York?
11:57Born, bred and raised.
11:59Good man.
12:01Sure is.
12:04Was.
12:06How's that?
12:07He was a good man.
12:09Yeah, that's what I said.
12:10No, you said he is a good man.
12:12Well, isn't he?
12:14He was.
12:14He's not here today.
12:16Of course he isn't.
12:18He's in New York, where he should be.
12:28You know, you've got a nutsy sense of humor.
12:30What are you, the argumentative type?
12:32You're looking for an argument, buddy?
12:33Is that it?
12:34No, I'm not looking for an argument.
12:35I just want to tell you that if you're kidding me, I'll come behind that bar,
12:40and in about three minutes, they'll be able to scrape you up in a spoon and put you in a cup.
12:48Let me buy you a drink.
12:49No, let me buy you a drink.
12:51A drink for the newlyweds.
12:53The newlyweds are drinking champagne.
12:55Give them champagne.
12:56What do I look like?
12:57A deadbeat?
12:58To the bride and groom.
13:05Long may she wait.
13:13Are you off a ship?
13:14That's your life.
13:15The best baby afloat.
13:17The Arizona.
13:18What?
13:19The Arizona.
13:20The Arizona?
13:22When did they dredge her out of the mud?
13:23You're talking about my ship.
13:26She's never been close to the mud.
13:28She hasn't, huh?
13:30Boy, you got a lovely wife and a lousy memory.
13:33You trying to tell me she wasn't sunk?
13:35I'm not trying to tell you.
13:36I'm telling you.
13:37The Arizona's never been sunk in her life.
13:39She hasn't, huh?
13:40You know it.
13:41You know it.
13:42I don't know it.
13:43I say she got sunk on December 7th, 1941.
13:47And that's where she sits today.
13:49In the mud at the bottom of Pearl Harbor.
13:51Now, what do you think of that?
13:53What did you say?
13:58I said...
13:58I said...
14:00It's not 1941.
14:26It's 1958.
14:33Can you hear me?
14:34It's 1958.
14:38How could it be 1941?
14:40It's 1958.
14:42How could it be 1941?
14:45It's 1958.
14:471958.
14:48And the dream ends there, huh?
14:56No, it goes on.
14:57I see.
14:58But up to that point, you say that each dream is identical.
15:01Identical.
15:02I even remember going to the door of the bar, look out in the street, look at all the cars.
15:0939s, 40s, 41s, no ends or anything.
15:14Go on.
15:17Now, get this.
15:18This is probably where I should get on the couch.
15:23I don't think this is a dream.
15:30You can make all the chicken tracks you want to.
15:33This is the goods here.
15:33I believe you.
15:36You do?
15:38Well, call the sanitarium.
15:40Tell them we'll take a double room.
15:42I mean, I understand why you think it's real.
15:46See, some dreams are extremely realistic.
15:49As often as not, they're impossible to distinguish from reality while you're asleep.
15:53Have a cigarette.
16:06It's run out of fluid.
16:07I've done quite a bit of smoking here.
16:09Now, where were we?
16:13You don't get what I'm telling you, do you?
16:17It isn't just that it's real while I'm asleep.
16:20While I'm telling you this.
16:22While I'm standing here telling you this, it's still real.
16:25Everything that happens in those dreams, that's real.
16:29Go on.
16:30Well, it spills the beans, doesn't it?
16:33Then this is your problem.
16:35That's some problem.
16:37A guy who dreams things and thinks they're real.
16:39Well, as I told you, some dreams are very real.
16:41Oh, I've had dreams like everyone else.
16:45But a week ago when these things started, I knew that they weren't dreams.
16:48Do you understand?
16:48They're not dreams.
16:49Well, if they're not dreams, Mr. Jensen, what do you suppose they are?
16:55What do you suppose they are?
16:57I wake up in a hotel room in Honolulu and it's 1941.
17:01But I mean, I really wake up and it's really 1941.
17:05Now, wait a minute, Mr. Jensen.
17:10You're not trying to tell me.
17:11Yes, I am telling you.
17:13I'm going back in time.
17:15Well, are you a bookie or aren't you?
17:36Okay, then.
17:37This is the bet.
17:38I picked Joe Lewis over Buddy Bear.
17:40What odds would he give me if I picked the round?
17:42What are you talking about?
17:43They're not scheduled.
17:44They will be.
17:45You're going to fight on January 9th.
17:48Yes, that's right.
17:49Buddy Bear.
17:51I picked Lewis in one round.
17:52What's the quote?
17:5330 to 1.
17:54Come on, boy.
17:55Come on.
17:57Well, that's better.
17:58Okay, I'll take $500.
18:00Right.
18:02What do you mean?
18:02How do I know?
18:03I just know.
18:03That's all.
18:05Right.
18:05Say, wait a minute.
18:06You got the name right?
18:08No, J-E-N-S-O-N.
18:10Jensen.
18:10Peter Jensen.
18:11That's right.
18:11I'm at the Imperial Hawaiian.
18:15Wait a minute.
18:16Jensen speaking.
18:18Right.
18:19I'm the guy.
18:20I'll call you back.
18:22Do you want to take a bet on the All-Star game for next year?
18:25I'll pick the American League.
18:26I spent the next two and a half hours in a kind of paradise, making bets on sure things.
18:32Every race, every prize fight, every football game I can remember happening after December
18:36of 1941.
18:37I got it figured out that if this crazy stuff goes on at least six more months, I'm a shoo-in
18:44to collect about $464,000 from a half a dozen soon-to-be impoverished bookies.
18:50I'm not scared, you understand.
18:52I don't have one idea what I'm doing back here, but as long as I'm back, I figure I'll put it
18:57all for good use.
19:01Come in.
19:03Hi.
19:06How are you?
19:08I'm fine.
19:09How about a drink?
19:10My wife asked me to stop by and see how you felt.
19:15That was nice of her.
19:16I feel great.
19:17How about a drink, huh?
19:18No, thanks.
19:18We're going swimming.
19:19She was a little concerned.
19:21My wife, I mean.
19:22About what?
19:23What about me?
19:24Well, it's just that down at the bar, when you saw that paper, you began to...
19:28Oh, that.
19:29Well, that was...
19:31Well, as a matter of fact, I was going to give you a ring and tell you that I was sorry
19:34about that Arizona stuff.
19:35You know, the mud and everything.
19:37It was nothing personal, you understand.
19:39Sure.
19:40Good.
19:40Let's see.
19:41The, uh...
19:43Let's see, I had the All-Star game, 500.
19:47Are you sick?
19:48No, I'm all right.
19:50Well, what did you say it was 1958?
19:52Oh, I guess I was just a little whirly up here.
19:56Sure.
19:58Well, uh, look, uh, we'll be back about four or five.
20:01Maybe you'd like to have a drink with us then, if you feel okay, huh?
20:05You got a deal.
20:07Well, we'll see you later then.
20:08Fine.
20:12Wait a minute.
20:14Yeah?
20:17What do you do on Arizona?
20:19Oh, I'm in the engineering section.
20:20You work down below, huh?
20:24Most of the time.
20:25Good job?
20:27I like it.
20:31Well, I'll see you later then.
20:33Yeah, we'll give you a call when we get in.
20:34All right.
20:34How is he?
20:45I think he's okay.
20:47He seems so lost.
20:49Now he'll be okay.
20:50Said to give him a call when we get in.
20:53Wonderful.
20:53I remember thinking right at this given moment that these are two nice-looking kids.
21:05And while I'm watching them, the thought hits me that this is an awfully young and pretty
21:09kid to be a widow after just two days of being a wife.
21:12So right at this moment, I do the only thing I can do.
21:15I make a jerk out of myself.
21:17I want a Honolulu newspaper.
21:20I don't care about anyone.
21:26Mr. Jensen, this is Mr. Gibbons, the editor.
21:28Well, Mr. Gibbons, the editor, what's with it?
21:30If this information is so hot, why didn't you take it to the army?
21:34Because I figured a newspaper would spread it around a lot quicker.
21:37Besides, there isn't time to go to a lot of brass trying to get heard.
21:41Well, what about it?
21:42Are you going to print it?
21:43Are you going to get out an extra?
21:44Of course, an extra.
21:45And if you take all this down, you dictate to him everything you've got.
21:52I can give it to him in about three paragraphs.
21:55But I want a guarantee before I do.
21:58I want to be sure I'm not going to get stuck in any rubber room with a straitjacket after
22:02I finish the story.
22:04Go ahead.
22:05And you take it all down.
22:07All right.
22:08I have information that the Japanese are going to bomb Pearl Harbor tomorrow morning at approximately
22:178 a.m. Honolulu time.
22:20Do you know this to be a fact?
22:23As sure as I know, the good Lord made racehorses.
22:27They're going to come over here in about 30 waves off a bunch of carriers.
22:30They're going to plaster us while we're still in our beds dreaming about last night.
22:35Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Schofield Barracks, the airfield, and you name it.
22:41You got all that down?
22:44Yes, sir.
22:46Well, what are you going to do about it?
22:47I'm going to call a commanding general and tell him to get out all available manpower.
22:54I figure that at least 10 or 11 regiments fully combat equipped should be sent to the
22:58beach.
22:58Now you're talking.
22:59We're calling the Navy, too.
23:01Aircraft carriers will be sent to the area.
23:03I figure there should be at least 1,000 planes.
23:05That's action, man.
23:06That's action.
23:06Then I'm going to recommend to the President of the United States that you lead the troops
23:10because you're good officer material.
23:12Now you're talking, my...
23:14Alright, knock it off.
23:19Cut the gag.
23:20Now you listen to me.
23:21No, you're listening.
23:22Because I'm going to tell you something, news boy.
23:25Tomorrow morning you're going to be about 4,000 miles away from any kind of laughing.
23:30And you're not going to be able to say that I didn't warn you because this is no gag.
23:34You're right.
23:34It's no gag because we're fed up.
23:36We've had all we can take for one afternoon.
23:39Now you get out of here peacefully, Mr. Johnson, or I may have to have somebody escort you outside.
23:43I can walk out by myself.
23:46And if you try to put anybody at my elbows, you're going to have to call in a hospital staff.
23:49I don't appreciate that kind of talk.
23:52Oh, you don't, huh?
23:53You really don't.
23:54Well, what do you appreciate, Mr. Gibbons?
23:57Maybe you'd appreciate a good smack in the jaw.
24:00Something to repay me for my trouble in coming over here and trying to get in to see you.
24:04This is going to hurt me worse than it does you, Mr. Johnson.
24:08Believe me.
24:08I believe you, Mr. Gibbons.
24:10Is he out of his mind?
24:37Appears to be sane enough.
24:38Well, I'm sorry to call you down here, doctor, but this character went berserk.
24:42It took the whole office to keep him here.
24:44I think he ought to be fitted for a jacket.
24:46You walk on your lower lip one more time, big shot, and I'll get you out of the newspaper business on a disability pension.
24:52You've never suffered from delusions, have you?
25:00You do know where you are, who you are?
25:02Oh, stop it.
25:04I'm as sane as anyone in this room.
25:07And a more incriminating statement I'll probably never make the rest of my life.
25:12What is the date today?
25:13December 6th.
25:14And we're...
25:15What are we?
25:17Where are we?
25:18We're in Honolulu, Hawaii.
25:20What did you have to eat today, to drink?
25:22Nothing.
25:24Nothing to eat and precious little to drink.
25:26I've spent the whole afternoon wasting my time with these two kooks.
25:29Who is the president of the United States?
25:37Who's kidding who?
25:38You're supposed to be finding out if I'm nuts.
25:41Eisenhower, who did you think it was?
25:42U.S. Grant?
25:43Who?
25:44Who did you say the president was?
25:46Eisen...
25:47Of course, it's 1941.
25:56FDR.
25:56Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the president.
26:00Who was the other person you mentioned?
26:02Eisen something?
26:03I was thinking about something else.
26:05Franklin D. Roosevelt is the president.
26:06Who else did you mention?
26:08Eisenhower, Dwight Eisenhower.
26:09He's a light colonel on the general staff in Washington.
26:12How did you know about Ike Eisenhower?
26:15Who is the vice president, Mr. Jensen?
26:23Garner.
26:25John Nance Garner.
26:26John Nance Garner was the vice president.
26:29He isn't anymore.
26:32Oh.
26:34Well, uh...
26:36Wait a minute now.
26:37I...
26:40Truman!
26:43Harry Truman!
26:45Of course it's Truman, because...
26:47When Roosevelt dies, Truman becomes the president.
26:51How's that?
26:52What's the matter with you guys?
26:55Don't you know that Roosevelt dies, and then Truman takes over, and then Eisenhower becomes the president?
27:02What's the matter with you guys?
27:05What's...
27:05All right, fellas.
27:14I take it all back.
27:18You named the vice president, and that's who it is.
27:21I forgot I ever mentioned it.
27:22Hold it.
27:24Hold it.
27:25Sit down, Mr. Jensen.
27:27Let's you and I talk this over.
27:30Uh-uh.
27:35Any of you guys know what a Sputnik is?
27:37I thought so.
27:44Rock and roll?
27:46Jetstream?
27:50Rocky Marciano?
27:54Atomic Subs?
27:55The Los Angeles Dodgers?
28:02Well...
28:03Buy Bonds!
28:06Jensen!
28:07Jensen!
28:13Something on your mind, Hennepi?
28:16No, nothing, Doc.
28:19Except...
28:20Except what?
28:22There's nothing insane about that man.
28:25I didn't say there was.
28:32This yours, Hennepi?
28:35You're quite an artist.
28:38Your plane's Japanese, I suppose.
28:41Not really.
28:42Just doodles, that's all.
28:44You'd better watch yourself.
28:46I'll be putting you under a light.
28:55The best ugly plans of mice and men and Pete Jensen.
29:10I just struck a blow for law and order and missed.
29:13So what's left to do?
29:14Simple.
29:15Nothing.
29:16Just sit in a bar feeling that kind of sweet, sad glow that comes with realizing that most people aren't as bright as you are.
29:24The next morning, they'd probably all come back and measure me for a brass statue, but it would be too late.
29:30I didn't care anymore.
29:32But it was kind of a crazy feeling, though, to watch these kids relax over their dates and their drinks...
29:38...when tomorrow morning, there'd be a couple of odd thousand of them taking a miserable route through hell to get to heaven.
29:44And a happy new year to you.
29:54Knock it off.
30:00I know how it is, pal.
30:02Believe me, I know how it is.
30:05Once I tied one on in New Orleans around Mardi Gras time.
30:08When I woke up outside the bleacher section of Ebbets Field on St. Patrick's Day, still in costume.
30:18Believe me, I know the problems of which you are exposed.
30:25Hi.
30:27How about having that drink with us?
30:29Oh, yeah.
30:31It's a pleasure.
30:33No, some other time.
30:37Hello.
30:37Hi.
30:38I'm a little ahead of you.
30:41How was the swim?
30:42Wonderful.
30:43Good.
30:44How many hours is it now?
30:4631 hours and 15 minutes.
30:49And everyone said it wouldn't last.
30:57Mr. Jensen?
30:58Pete.
31:00Pete.
31:03Are you all right?
31:04Oh, sure, I'm all right.
31:05Why?
31:05Well, this morning, you seem so sure it was another year.
31:11Did I?
31:13Well, I guess I was just a little mixed up.
31:15That's all, honey.
31:16And I didn't mean anything personal about what I said this morning, either.
31:19Oh, I told you to forget that.
31:21A round for all of us.
31:22Tom Collins for me.
31:23Same here.
31:24What about you?
31:24What are you drinking?
31:25Double scotch.
31:26Double scotch.
31:26Double scotch.
31:27You sure like your scotch, don't you, sir?
31:29Why?
31:29You got a grandfather in the bourbon business?
31:31What's the matter?
31:44I wasn't kidding this morning.
31:46I meant what I said.
31:47The Arizona's going to get sunk tomorrow morning.
31:51Are we on that again?
31:53We're on that again.
31:55Look, Lieutenant.
31:57Ensign.
31:57Ensign, Lieutenant.
31:58It doesn't matter.
32:00I've got no axis to grind, you understand?
32:03Tomorrow morning, I've got every intention of going down into the basement and cuddling
32:07up to the furnace and spending the whole day listening to the sirens.
32:11You say you're an engineering officer or something.
32:14That means you're down near the boilers.
32:17Well, I'm telling you that at about 8.20 a.m. tomorrow morning, there won't be any boilers.
32:22There won't be any decks.
32:23There won't be any ship left.
32:24And that goes for a lot of boilers and a lot of decks and a lot of ships.
32:29Not to mention handsome young ensigns with new brides.
32:33Please, don't talk like that.
32:36I've got to talk like that.
32:37This is the second half of the story.
32:42I know what's going to happen tomorrow.
32:45Because tomorrow is December 7th, 1941 to you people.
32:50But it's 17 years ago to me.
32:56That's right.
32:58Last night, I was in New York City.
33:01It was 1958.
33:02It was October.
33:04It was 17 years after what it is this very minute.
33:09And I've lived through those 17 years and I know what's going to happen.
33:15Look, you're nice kids.
33:18You're nice young kids.
33:20I have no reason,
33:21no reason in the world to give you grievance.
33:23I'm telling you that tomorrow morning we're going to get attacked.
33:30And if you're on that ship...
33:31I'll be on that ship because that's my birth.
33:34Mr. Jensen, you're a nice fellow and all that,
33:36but if you keep saying crazy, wild things like this
33:39and making Edna worried,
33:40I'm going to have to pop you.
33:42Come on, honey, we'll have our drink at the bar.
33:46Wait a minute.
33:47Hey, you, I don't want no trouble.
33:48You want to fight, go out and fight a lamp post.
33:50You shut your mouth.
33:51All right, what are you going to do about it?
33:55You're going to stand around holding hands and biting earlobes
33:58until this boy goes back to his ship?
34:00Because I'm telling you if he goes back to that ship,
34:02he may not be alive at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
34:07Repeat.
34:07He may not be alive tomorrow...
34:09I told you I don't want no trouble, you hear me?
34:15You know, you don't want any trouble, huh?
34:26You don't want any trouble.
34:30All right, I don't want to give you any trouble.
34:34I want to give you music.
34:36I'll sing songs for you.
34:48Songs you've never heard before.
34:52Let's remember Pearl Harbor
34:56as we go to meet the foe.
35:00Do you want to hear another one?
35:09Praise the Lord
35:10and pass the ammunition.
35:13Praise the Lord
35:15and pass the ammunition.
35:18Praise the Lord
35:19and pass the ammunition
35:21and we'll all
35:22stay free.
35:25Do you hear that?
35:26that's the song
35:29you're all going to be singing.
35:31You're all going to sing that
35:32in about a week
35:33because the Japs are going to...
35:45Want to hear another one?
35:50Let's remember
35:51Pearl Harbor
35:54as we go
35:55to meet
35:56the foe.
36:58I told you. I told you. I told you. Why wouldn't anyone listen to me?
37:06And then?
37:14That's where I wake up. Standing by the doors. Planes coming in low. Bombs dropping. Strafing. That's just where I wake up.
37:27It's realistic and very frightening. How long has this been going on? How often have you had this dream?
37:38Every night for a week.
37:39And everything is always the same. Chronologically the same. Everything.
37:44Everything. The ensign and his bride. The bar. In my room on the phone. Everything.
37:51And the moment when I'm standing by those doors and the planes are coming in. It's always the same.
37:59And it's... It's real. It's not a dream. It's real. I'm going back in time.
38:09I know.
38:15Well, Mr. Jensen, I... I won't attempt to analyze that dream now except to say this, that...
38:21Very often you dream with a purpose.
38:24The dreams are usually significant to something deep-rooted in a man's subconscious.
38:28But very often the subjects that you dream about are not really the things that bother you.
38:34They're only symbols of the things that bother you.
38:37Look, Doc.
38:40Don't try to out-logic me.
38:42I'm not trying to pass this off as logic.
38:46I just know what I know.
38:48I'm going back in time.
38:51I can't give you an explanation. I thought maybe you could give me one.
38:55And I'll tell you something else.
38:58When I'm standing by those doors and the planes are coming in, that's where I wake up.
39:03But even after I wake up and I'm lying in bed thinking about it,
39:07I know the dream shouldn't have ended there.
39:11It should have gone on beyond that.
39:14One of these nights it will go on beyond that.
39:18And you have no idea what might transpire in that moment beyond that?
39:22No.
39:28All right, let's approach it your way.
39:39Let's look at it as if it weren't a dream, but let's look at it very practically.
39:42Assume now that it was possible to go back in time.
39:47Now we can assume that.
39:50You go back in time and you do something.
39:54Let's say you warn people about an accident that you know is going to happen so that the accident doesn't happen.
39:59But what is it that you're doing?
40:04By altering the past, you change the present.
40:09Look, Doc.
40:10Now this is important, Mr. Jensen.
40:11It's very important that you grasp this.
40:15Let's try this analogy.
40:19Supposing I were able to go back in time.
40:23I go back and I'm hit, well, let's say by a taxi.
40:29Now it figures that if I were able to go back in time and were killed, I wouldn't be alive today.
40:35Not only that.
40:36Think of all the other lives affected.
40:39I wouldn't have gotten married.
40:40I wouldn't have any children.
40:41I wouldn't have bought a house.
40:43Now all these things wouldn't exist as they do today because I changed them in the past by being killed.
40:50So?
40:51So, it's not possible to go back in time.
40:55We must assume that this is a dream.
41:00Alright, try this then.
41:02All right.
41:09I've never been in Honolulu in my whole life before except during that dream.
41:15So, after the first couple of times I dreamed this, I...
41:19Take your time.
41:25Well, I decided I'd put it to a test.
41:27I knew the ensign's last name.
41:30It was an odd one, Janoski.
41:33He told me that he and his daughter had come from a little town called White Oak, Wisconsin.
41:37I placed a call there.
41:40There was only one Janoski in the book.
41:41A woman answered the phone.
41:43She told me she was his mother.
41:44I told her that I was an old friend of his from Honolulu and I asked, was he there?
41:53And then?
41:54And then she told me that her son and his wife were killed in Honolulu on December 7th, 1941.
42:05He went down with the Arizona.
42:07She was shot down near King Street by a plane strafing.
42:09Well, doctor?
42:19Are you sure you've never been to Honolulu?
42:22Yes, I was there once.
42:24When?
42:26When I'm supposedly having that dream.
42:28Alright, doc, tell me.
42:43I can't hear you talking.
42:49Well,
42:51at the moment,
42:54I don't quite know what to say.
42:58Dr. Gillespie's patient lay on the couch almost in a stupor.
43:19They'd been talking for hours.
43:21It was Saturday and Gillespie had planned to close early and go play golf.
43:26At that moment, he'd forgotten golf.
43:29He was concerned only with the fascinating and unbelievable story
43:32that this man in front of him had told him.
43:35And then,
43:36as he looked at him lying there on the couch,
43:38Dr. Gillespie knew Jensen was falling asleep.
43:41He could tell by the look on the face
43:43that he was far from resting,
43:45though his eyes were closed
43:46and he was no longer aware of him.
43:48and he was out of his.
44:00Oh.
44:01Oh.
44:01Oh.
44:02Oh.
44:02Oh.
44:02Oh.
44:02Oh.
44:03Oh.
44:03Oh.
44:04Oh.
44:05Oh.
44:05Oh.
44:05Oh.
44:06Oh.
44:06Oh.
50:58...
51:28...
51:58...
52:00...
