00:01:00My name is Tom Sims. I'm a newspaper columnist.
00:01:05Several years ago, I covered firsthand the incredible story you are about to see recreated in this motion picture.
00:01:13It is a human horror story of ghastly proportions and profound reverberations.
00:01:20Yes. But because it is human, perhaps we can learn something from it. Something of ourselves, of our own fears and needs.
00:01:30But please, let me warn you. The events have been recreated in detail. Nothing has been left to the imagination. It is not a story for the squeamish or the faint-hearted.
00:01:45All right. Now that you stand warned, we can proceed with our story. It is the story of Ezra Cobb. Murderer. Grave robber. Necrophiliac, perhaps.
00:01:59Or as you may remember him from those stories of long ago, the Butcher of Woodside.
00:02:06When Ezra's 10, his father died. For the next 15 years, Ez and his mother worked the farm by themselves, growing more dependent on each other with the passage of time.
00:02:24Ezra Cobb. Then Amanda Cobb suffered a paralyzing stroke, which crippled her body from the waist down and left her bedridden.
00:02:31Ez brought her downstairs, sealing off the upstairs room so he could be closer to her.
00:02:36For 12 years, he slept outside her door, waiting on her, feeding her, bathing her, reading to her, comforting her.
00:02:45To his neighbors, he was a devoted son.
00:02:47But that devotion masked a growing psychosis, which came to the surface when his mother died.
00:03:05Mama?
00:03:08Got you some soup, Mama?
00:03:10Good and hot today.
00:03:17Yes?
00:03:25Take my hand.
00:03:29Are you holding my hand?
00:03:32Yes.
00:03:34I can't feel you.
00:03:37Cold, must be.
00:03:39Draft.
00:03:47Just got to get the circulation going again, that's all.
00:03:52So it's to be now, then, is it?
00:03:57I can't see you too clearly, yes?
00:04:00You look blurred.
00:04:01You're tired, Mama, is all.
00:04:04Here.
00:04:05I brought you some soup.
00:04:06No.
00:04:07Good and hot.
00:04:07No.
00:04:08I'm not tired and I don't want no soup.
00:04:12I'm dying.
00:04:13No, Mama.
00:04:13I'm dying and that's all there is to it.
00:04:15No, you just need some rest is all.
00:04:18You be quiet and listen to me.
00:04:20If I go into a coma, don't take me to no hospital.
00:04:23I want to die in my own bed, my own room, with you here.
00:04:29If you need any help later, after I'm gone, call Maureen Selby.
00:04:36Say it now as Maureen Selby.
00:04:40Oh, Maureen Selby.
00:04:44Maureen's the only woman I ever to trust.
00:04:47She's fat, that's why.
00:04:49A big heifer.
00:04:50But she's the only good-hearted woman I ever knew.
00:04:53As for the rest of them,
00:04:55a lot of filthy black-souled sluts with pus-filled sores and...
00:05:02As...
00:05:04As...
00:05:05As...
00:05:06I...
00:05:08I...
00:05:09I can't breathe.
00:05:11Breathe.
00:05:12You're going to be all right.
00:05:15Just need...
00:05:17something to eat, that's all.
00:05:19Honest.
00:05:20No.
00:05:21I'm...
00:05:22I'm leaving you now.
00:05:24That's for certain.
00:05:25And I don't want to leave worrying about you.
00:05:31Oh, you're such a babe in the woods.
00:05:34A child.
00:05:36I sheltered you too much, I guess.
00:05:39But I just know some money-stealing bitch is going to come along and try to take advantage of you.
00:05:45Remember what I've always told you.
00:05:50The wages of sin is gonorrhea, syphilis, and death.
00:05:54They'll use their bodies to...
00:05:57to...
00:05:58steal from you.
00:05:59They'll steal your life and your soul.
00:06:04Leave them alone.
00:06:06Most of them are filled with diseases that tick.
00:06:09But God will wash him away.
00:06:14Like he did in the time of Noah.
00:06:19God looked upon the earth.
00:06:22And behold, it was corrupt.
00:06:25For all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
00:06:30And then God said unto Noah,
00:06:32The end of all flesh has come before me.
00:06:35Did you know what God did then, Es?
00:06:40Yes, sir.
00:06:42Flood.
00:06:44Yes, sir.
00:06:45The flood.
00:06:47Oh, I wish I could be here to see it.
00:06:53You're still a handsome young man, Es.
00:06:56You have great attraction for the opposite sex.
00:07:00That's why you've got to be so careful.
00:07:06Oh, it hurts.
00:07:09It hurts.
00:07:12It hurts.
00:07:14Eat.
00:07:16You'll be all right.
00:07:17Honest.
00:07:23Oh, you won't die.
00:07:27Honest.
00:07:27Honest.
00:07:30Please, Mama.
00:07:33Please, Mama, don't leave me.
00:07:39Mama.
00:07:40No, please.
00:07:41No, please.
00:07:43No.
00:07:46Mama.
00:07:47Mama.
00:07:47Mama.
00:07:49Mama.
00:07:49Mama.
00:07:50Mama.
00:07:50Mama.
00:08:00Mama.
00:08:08Mama.
00:08:08Mama.
00:08:09Mama.
00:08:10Mama.
00:08:11harder.
00:08:11Mama.
00:08:12Which, to me, are you?
00:08:13Mama.
00:08:17Mama.
00:08:17Mama.
00:08:18Mama.
00:08:19Mama.
00:08:20Mama.
00:08:20Mama.
00:08:21Mama.
00:08:21Remember to me.
00:08:21Mama.
00:08:22Mama.
00:08:23Mama.
00:08:23mother.
00:08:24Mama.
00:08:25Mama.
00:08:26Mama.
00:08:27Paula.
00:08:27I don't know.
00:08:57We're so sorry, yes.
00:09:11She was a great lady, yes.
00:09:15Real.
00:09:18Real demure.
00:09:19Real religious.
00:09:27The boys wanted to come, yes, but, well, I didn't think they should.
00:09:38But they do send their condolences, though.
00:09:40She looks nice, as real natural.
00:09:55You'd think she was just sleeping.
00:09:57She is.
00:10:09That's all it is.
00:10:14Just sleeping.
00:10:15A month passed.
00:10:39Six months.
00:10:40A year.
00:10:42Still, Ezra refused to accept the death of his mother.
00:10:45He visited her grave as often as four or five times a week.
00:10:49And at home...
00:10:51At home, he continued as though she were only away on a trip.
00:10:55He kept her room neat and clean and made sure the stove was always going so it would be warm when she returned to him.
00:11:00He dreamed about her and, in his despair, even wrote letters to her.
00:11:07To the outside world, Ezra was...
00:11:09We're going to get you going this time.
00:11:10Oh, a little eccentric, maybe.
00:11:12Here we go.
00:11:12But basically a normal, decent guy.
00:11:15He quit farming altogether and hired on as a general handyman for his neighbors, and especially his good friend, Harlan Cootes.
00:11:21But the loneliness within him had grown to a vast abyss, and the pain of his loss at last pushed him over the precipice and into madness.
00:11:36Mama.
00:11:40When are you coming home again?
00:11:49I'm real lonesome, Mama.
00:11:51There's nothing but snow, and snow, and snow, and snow, and the wind blowing, and blowing, and blowing, and it's so cold.
00:12:09And I miss you with all my heart.
00:12:14Amen.
00:12:15If you miss me so much, why don't you come and bring me home?
00:12:26Mama!
00:12:27Mama!
00:12:29You should be ashamed of yourself, leaving me here more than a year now.
00:12:37All alone, here in the dark.
00:12:41Shame is!
00:12:42Mama, I wrote to you.
00:12:49Don't get no letters here.
00:12:53Now why don't you come and bring me home?
00:12:57Bring me home.
00:12:59Bring me home.
00:13:04I'm coming, Mama!
00:13:06And so he went to bring her home.
00:13:09And so he went to bring her home.
00:13:25Perhaps in his twisted mind, he imagined she would look the way she had in life.
00:13:31Mama!
00:13:33I didn't wait.
00:13:39It was so interconnect.
00:13:49I brought her home.
00:13:52And so...
00:13:53...
00:13:54...
00:13:55...
00:13:57I'm taking you home, Mama.
00:14:23Home.
00:14:24She's the girl of my dreams and her fair face beams.
00:14:36She's the sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
00:14:54What in the hell do you think you're doing this?
00:15:13Nothing, sir.
00:15:15What do you mean?
00:15:16Oh, come on. You know what I mean.
00:15:18Well, she wanted to come home, Sheriff.
00:15:23She told me she did. Otherwise, I...
00:15:24Now, look, look, look, yes.
00:15:26This is a 35-mile-an-hour zone, and you were going 50 if you were going anything.
00:15:31Now, let me smell your breath.
00:15:34Good God!
00:15:36What in the hell is that?
00:15:38What have you been drinking, Ez?
00:15:40God damn!
00:15:41Nothing, sir.
00:15:45It's just a hog I butchered, is all.
00:15:48I forgot to take it out of the truck, is all.
00:15:50It kind of got to smell it.
00:15:52Jesus Christ! You ain't kidding!
00:15:57I'm gonna let you go this time, Ez, but don't let it happen again, you hear?
00:16:02And for Christ's sake, bury that, will you?
00:16:06Yes, sir.
00:16:08I sure will.
00:16:10First thing, no more speeding, you hear?
00:16:13Yes, sir.
00:16:14I mean, no, sir.
00:16:16All right.
00:16:27I apologize for calling you a hog, Mama.
00:16:35Get you to bed, you need to lie back down.
00:16:42Fix you up, you won't even know yourself.
00:16:45Honest.
00:16:50See your room?
00:16:53Just like it used to be.
00:17:05Oh, Mama, you're in terrible shape.
00:17:28Gonna have to put you back together, like that old egg in the fairy story.
00:17:35I'm glad you're home.
00:17:49Is your Bible?
00:17:58Your Bible?
00:17:59Your Bible?
00:18:05So he'd brought her home.
00:18:10And what now?
00:18:13Now he intended to restore.
00:18:16And to that purpose, he began reading everything he could about embalming,
00:18:21taxidermy.
00:18:21But it wasn't an easy job.
00:18:25His mother had been buried for over a year now.
00:18:28There were lots of repairs to make.
00:18:30He tried to patch her with fish skin, with wax, with any substance which he thought resembled
00:18:35human flesh.
00:18:38It wasn't until later that the idea of using real flesh occurred to him.
00:18:46Ironically enough, it was his friend and neighbor who accidentally gave him the inspiration.
00:18:49God is great.
00:18:51God is good.
00:18:53Let us thank him for this food.
00:18:55Amen.
00:18:56Oh, and please take good care of old Miss Johnson.
00:19:01Pass the bread to Ezra, will you, Brad?
00:19:03It's not a little Miss Johnson.
00:19:05She kicked the bucket.
00:19:06She didn't kick the bucket.
00:19:07She passed away.
00:19:08My Miss Johnson?
00:19:09My old Sunday school teacher?
00:19:10Yeah.
00:19:11The very same one.
00:19:12I don't believe that.
00:19:13Well, it's right here in today's paper.
00:19:15Here it is.
00:19:16Let me see that.
00:19:16Yeah, the funeral was this afternoon.
00:19:19That lady taught me all through Sunday school and in the sixth grade.
00:19:24Taught Ez, too.
00:19:26Remember that, Ez?
00:19:26Back in sixth grade?
00:19:28Used to call her old flannel face.
00:19:30Remember that, Ez?
00:19:31No, sir.
00:19:33Yeah, that's her.
00:19:34All right.
00:19:36Here, I remember her, Ez?
00:19:39Well, that's...
00:19:40That's old Miss Johnson there.
00:19:42What's she doing in the newspaper?
00:19:45Well, dang it, Ez, I just told you, she's dead.
00:19:47You mean they put her in the...
00:19:49in the paper just because she's dead?
00:19:53What's the matter with you?
00:19:54It's such a dang obituary.
00:19:56Or what?
00:19:58Now, don't tell me you don't know what's an obituary.
00:20:03All right, don't beat off.
00:20:04Well, look, when a buddy dies,
00:20:07they take all the information
00:20:08and they put it in the newspaper in the obituary section.
00:20:11And it tells when the funeral is
00:20:13and where they're being buried and all that kind of stuff.
00:20:15You mean I can find out
00:20:16where and when somebody's been buried?
00:20:20On the very same day?
00:20:22Right at the end of the tunnel, all right.
00:20:24Yes, sir.
00:20:25You're right, Ez.
00:20:27Well, I'm going to look into that.
00:20:29I'd rather read the sports section myself.
00:20:32Not me.
00:20:33This here could be real valuable information.
00:20:35Why? What are you planning to do?
00:20:37Dig them up or something?
00:20:38No, sir.
00:20:40Wouldn't have to dig it all up.
00:20:43Well, I'm sure glad to hear that.
00:20:45Sure, why dig it all up
00:20:47when you can take the parts you need?
00:20:48Sure, maybe like...
00:20:51Like if you need the head
00:20:52for repairs or something,
00:20:54well then, just take the head.
00:21:00You're crazy, that's old man.
00:21:02Oh, I see.
00:21:07Hi, Miss Johnson.
00:21:08Remember me?
00:21:10I used to be in a Sunday school class.
00:21:25There she comes now, real easy.
00:21:28Well, the next thing you should do
00:21:34is get this hair off.
00:21:35Hi, Miss Zack.
00:21:47I know.
00:21:49I see you will be in theé£.
00:21:52There she is.
00:22:24See, Mama? All I got to do is stitch it on you.
00:22:42Look, Mama. I brought you a visitor.
00:22:54Shhh. Can't stay too long now.
00:23:16Look, you two ladies have a lot to talk about.
00:23:23After that, Ezra made many visits to the graveyard, bringing home bodies.
00:23:31Or parts of bodies to keep his mother and himself company.
00:23:36He was a ghoul, a necromaniac, a defiler of the dead.
00:23:41But he had not yet turned his sickness on a living victim.
00:23:45It was only a matter of time until he did.
00:23:49We're going to have to take those plugs out, too, I think, Ez, and take them into town.
00:23:53Either get them cleaned or get new ones.
00:23:56Ez, sir, me and Mother, we've been talking and, well, we've been thinking that...
00:24:18Sir?
00:24:20Well, dang it all, first off, stop calling me sir.
00:24:24You're as old as I am.
00:24:25And secondly, stop calling Jenny ma'am.
00:24:28You're a growed mayonnaise.
00:24:30That's what I want to talk to you about.
00:24:33I want to talk to you man to man.
00:24:36See, we're...
00:24:39Well, Jenny and me, we're worried about you.
00:24:41Living up in that old house there all by yourself.
00:24:43And, uh...
00:24:45We just thought that...
00:24:47Well, we...
00:24:49Dang it, Jennifer says you should be married, and that's what she says, and that's that, so...
00:24:52Oh, Ezra.
00:24:53Ezra, what my husband means is that...
00:24:56Well, we're just kind of worried about you, that's all.
00:24:58And, well, we thought it would be nice if you could meet someone who...
00:25:01And I'd be glad to introduce you if you wanted.
00:25:04You know, someone nice who could be a companion for you, that's all.
00:25:09Nope.
00:25:10No.
00:25:13I don't trust him.
00:25:15You don't trust who, Ez?
00:25:17You know...
00:25:19Girls and stuff.
00:25:21You're damn right.
00:25:22Don't you know any girls you could trust, Ezra?
00:25:25Nope.
00:25:27Except my mother...
00:25:29Maureen...
00:25:31Selby.
00:25:32Say, I can trust her.
00:25:35I know I can trust her.
00:25:37Why do you think you can trust her, Ez?
00:25:39Well, cause...
00:25:41She's fat.
00:25:43I know I can trust her.
00:25:45She's fat.
00:25:48Well, then why don't you give her a call?
00:25:51Think I should?
00:25:52Sure.
00:25:53Go ahead, Ez.
00:25:54Why don't you?
00:25:55Maybe you'll help her lose some weight.
00:25:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:26:02Oh, come on.
00:26:04Oh, come on.
00:26:09Oh.
00:26:13Oh.
00:26:15Oh.
00:26:25Oh.
00:26:26Yes?
00:26:27Miss Selby?
00:26:28Yes?
00:26:29I'm Ezra Cobb.
00:26:30Yes?
00:26:31Amanda Cobb's boy.
00:26:32Amanda Cobb's boy.
00:26:34Amanda Cobb's boy.
00:26:35Amanda Cobb's boy.
00:26:41Oh, come in, too.
00:26:43Oh, my, yes, Amanda Cobb.
00:26:45I'm so sorry to hear about her passing.
00:26:47Do you know that she and I were once as close as two webbed fingers.
00:26:51Oh, my, yes, Amanda Cobb.
00:26:55I was so sorry to hear about her passing.
00:26:59Do you know that she and I were once as close as two webbed fingers?
00:27:01Closest to webbed fingers.
00:27:03And then, something happened.
00:27:06I don't know, she took on a grudge or something.
00:27:09You know, she always had a grudge going against somebody.
00:27:11Do sit down.
00:27:13I don't know what it was.
00:27:14I don't like to cast aspersions on the dead.
00:27:17But Amanda did take on a grudge,
00:27:20like a steel trap to a rabbit's foot.
00:27:23So then, whenever I tried to see her,
00:27:25she wouldn't even let me in.
00:27:26Oh, come and sit over here.
00:27:28It's more comfortable, the big cushion.
00:27:31So, uh, so then, I didn't see her again
00:27:37for, oh, many, many years.
00:27:40And, uh, would you like something to drink?
00:27:45No.
00:27:46I'm sorry I can't offer you hard liquor,
00:27:48but I have never taken a drink in my life,
00:27:50and I never will.
00:27:52How about some Whitman sampler?
00:27:58They're my one vice.
00:28:01Dammit.
00:28:03Well, Mr. Cobb, what do you do?
00:28:10Ma'am?
00:28:12Well, what do you do?
00:28:14Oh, just, uh, take care of Mama
00:28:18and, uh, keep the house in order, I guess.
00:28:21Take care of Mama?
00:28:22You, uh, you, you, you mean your mother?
00:28:25Yes, ma'am.
00:28:26Today at lunch, she said that...
00:28:28Mr. Cobb.
00:28:30You talk to your mother?
00:28:35Yes, ma'am.
00:28:37Mr. Cobb.
00:28:40Are you making fun of me?
00:28:44No.
00:28:44I want to know.
00:28:46I want to know.
00:28:46You're sure?
00:28:48Yes, ma'am.
00:28:50Across my heart.
00:28:51I thought you were making fun of me.
00:28:56A lot of people around here do, you know.
00:28:59They make fun of me because...
00:29:01Because...
00:29:03We've got a couple of weeks more until the reason to fire...
00:29:06I talk to Herbert.
00:29:08Herbert?
00:29:10My late husband.
00:29:12I talk to him.
00:29:14All the time.
00:29:14This is his picture, see?
00:29:25He was killed four years ago.
00:29:28Burned up in an automobile accident on Route 7.
00:29:33We were very happy.
00:29:35We still are.
00:29:36At least he tells me he is.
00:29:38I spoke to him last night.
00:29:41Say, Ezra, you know what we ought to do?
00:29:42Is it all right if I call you Ezra?
00:29:45Yes, ma'am.
00:29:46Well, Ezra, why don't we all get together some night...
00:29:50And hold a four-way seance.
00:29:52You, me, Herbert, and Amanda.
00:29:55That is, if Amanda's speaking to me nowadays.
00:29:58What do you say?
00:30:00Uh, you mean, uh, all get together and talk?
00:30:04Oh, yes.
00:30:05Oh, it'll be such fun.
00:30:05Herbert's never met Amanda.
00:30:07Please.
00:30:09Oh, I don't know.
00:30:12Well, uh, I'll ask her.
00:30:15Make it Thursday night.
00:30:16Shake on it.
00:30:24She is fat, Mama.
00:30:26Just like you said.
00:30:27But I like that fat.
00:30:34Big old arms.
00:30:35Place that's hanging down.
00:30:38I like that.
00:30:40The legs, too.
00:30:42Big and round.
00:30:44Like big old drumsticks.
00:30:46She's got a cute old belly.
00:30:49And cute as can be.
00:30:49Of course, I'd hate to get stuck in all that fat and not be able to get out.
00:31:00So naturally, I'll take some protection along just in case.
00:31:04You know, the only thing that bothers me?
00:31:15I don't think she's, uh, you know, uh, all there.
00:31:20In the upstairs.
00:31:23You know what I mean?
00:31:24Herbert wants to talk to me tonight.
00:31:33I can feel it.
00:31:36All we have to do is concentrate.
00:31:41Can you concentrate, Es?
00:31:45Yes, ma'am.
00:31:46Close your eyes, then.
00:31:51And concentrate.
00:32:02Herbert.
00:32:04Herbert.
00:32:06Herbert.
00:32:08Enter me.
00:32:09Oh, enter me, Herbert.
00:32:12Enter me, enter me, enter me.
00:32:17Oh, yes.
00:32:22Oh, Herbert.
00:32:24I hear you.
00:32:26Yes.
00:32:28Can you hear me?
00:32:30You can.
00:32:32Oh, good.
00:32:33Then listen, Herbert.
00:32:35Herbert.
00:32:35I have a new friend here tonight.
00:32:39His name is Ezra Cobb.
00:32:45And he's...
00:32:46He's very nice-looking, Herbert.
00:32:51He's tall and straight and strong.
00:32:58And he's...
00:33:00He's the right age.
00:33:03And...
00:33:04What, Herbert?
00:33:05Herbert.
00:33:05I can't ask him that.
00:33:17Ask him what?
00:33:20Herbert, that is so sweet and unselfish of you.
00:33:27What does he want?
00:33:29Oh, oh, oh.
00:33:33Ez.
00:33:35He says.
00:33:38He misses the carnal aspect of our marriage.
00:33:45Carnival?
00:33:47Oh, no, no.
00:33:49The...
00:33:50You know, our sex life.
00:33:55Oh, yes, it was beautiful, Herbert.
00:33:57Herbert.
00:33:57What kind of...
00:34:01What fever does he want?
00:34:05Oh, Ez.
00:34:08Herbert says.
00:34:12He's going to talk to you.
00:34:15Himself.
00:34:16Oh, Ezra.
00:34:20Oh, Ezra.
00:34:27Ezra Cobb.
00:34:35Uh, yes, sir.
00:34:37Uh, yes, ma'am.
00:34:39Ezra.
00:34:41This...
00:34:42Is...
00:34:43Herbert.
00:34:46Will you do me...
00:34:49A favor...
00:34:53Ezra.
00:34:54If I...
00:34:54If I can, sir?
00:34:56Make my wife...
00:35:01A woman...
00:35:04Again.
00:35:07How do you mean, sir?
00:35:09Uh...
00:35:10How do you mean, sir?
00:35:12She needs...
00:35:15Love...
00:35:16Ezra.
00:35:18Physical love...
00:35:24The kind...
00:35:27I can no longer...
00:35:30Give her...
00:35:32Oh, touch her, Ezra.
00:35:37Feel how soft she is...
00:35:40It's been...
00:35:51So long...
00:35:55Oh, come...
00:35:59Ezra...
00:36:01Go with her...
00:36:05Do her...
00:36:07Do her...
00:36:08That favor...
00:36:10Make love to her...
00:36:12It's been so long...
00:36:15She needs it, Ezra...
00:36:17Ezra, she needs it...
00:36:19She needs it, Ezra...
00:36:21Come into...
00:36:23Into...
00:36:25Come...
00:36:43Come...
00:36:44Come...
00:36:45Come...
00:36:46Come...
00:36:48Oh, yeah...
00:36:49Come...
00:36:50Come...
00:36:51Oh, yes...
00:36:55Yes...
00:36:56Yes...
00:36:57Make love to me, darling...
00:37:01The wages of sin...
00:37:03Is gonorrhea...
00:37:04Syphilis...
00:37:05And death!
00:37:07It's been so long, dear...
00:37:10So long...
00:37:12You know what God done then, don't you, boy?
00:37:15This one...
00:37:16Oh...
00:37:17Oh...
00:37:18Oh...
00:37:19Take off your pants, darling...
00:37:22Hermin!
00:37:24Oh...
00:37:25There you are, darling...
00:37:28There you are...
00:37:32Scum!
00:37:35Death!
00:37:38Death!
00:37:40Death!
00:37:42Huh?
00:37:43Ezra...
00:37:45What's that?
00:37:47Ezra?
00:37:49The death of Marine Selby did not seem to affect Ez unduly.
00:38:08He went on as if nothing had happened, except for one thing.
00:38:12Now he began to seek the companionship of women.
00:38:14He sought it in strange places, none stranger than Goldie's Tavern.
00:38:21Her name was Mary Ransom.
00:38:23She was 34 years old and, if truth were told, a little over the hill.
00:38:27But Ezra had never seen a woman like her before, beautiful, promiscuous, with a constant promise of being available, even perhaps to him.
00:38:34Even perhaps to him.
00:38:47Hi, what can I do for you tonight?
00:38:50Just a...
00:38:51A glass of milk.
00:38:52Well, this is a bar, babe, not a nursery. We don't serve milk here. We serve hard liquor.
00:38:59I... I don't drink.
00:39:00Oh, I see. He came in with the fresh air.
00:39:04I came to see you.
00:39:08Oh, well, uh...
00:39:10Would you, uh, be a nice guy to steal a minimum, huh? Order a drink?
00:39:14All right.
00:39:16If you tell me what kind to get.
00:39:18Well, um...
00:39:20How about, uh, whiskey sour?
00:39:22Uh, it's got cherry in it.
00:39:24Uh, you like them with cherries?
00:39:30Okay, then, that's one, uh, whiskey...
00:39:35Sour.
00:39:39And that'll be $75.
00:39:40This is for you.
00:39:48Uh, look, um...
00:39:51Well, look, are you sure you can afford this?
00:39:56Oh, thanks, uh...
00:39:58I'll just put it in here.
00:40:00For safekeeping.
00:40:02What's your name?
00:40:04Mary.
00:40:05Hey, how'd you like to tear off a piece of that, eh?
00:40:12Huh?
00:40:13Boy, if I had a chance, I'd bang her brains out.
00:40:16Look at that ass.
00:40:18And look at them tits.
00:40:20Both of them.
00:40:21I seen tits, and I seen tits from Portugal to Yokohama.
00:40:25Now, let me tell you.
00:40:27Those are tits with a capital T.
00:40:30Eh, if I was an old man, goddammit, I'd be into her pants so fast as it'd make your head swim.
00:40:36Heh.
00:40:37That's the trouble, you get old.
00:40:39Can't get it up anymore.
00:40:41Just sit there lookin' at it, hangin' limp as a turkey neck.
00:40:45Eh, hell with it.
00:40:47Life's a pain and God's a sadist.
00:40:49Here she comes.
00:40:52Look, here you go, babes.
00:40:54Good evening, my dear.
00:40:56Shove it.
00:40:58Come on, try it, tell me how you like it.
00:41:05Good.
00:41:07Hey, listen.
00:41:09Real good.
00:41:10Well, go down, drink it up.
00:41:16Mary!
00:41:18Mary!
00:41:20Mary!
00:41:22Mary!
00:41:24Closing time is now.
00:41:25Mary!
00:41:26Mary!
00:41:27You gotta be on your way.
00:41:28Come on, let me help you out.
00:41:30Come on.
00:41:32Oh!
00:41:33Come on, now you.
00:41:34Atta boy!
00:41:35Alright.
00:41:36This way!
00:41:38I, never dream.
00:41:39I never drink.
00:41:44I never guess that, yes.
00:41:46Okay, hold on.
00:41:48All right.
00:41:51And you know...
00:41:52Okay.
00:42:01Okay, that's it.
00:42:04Now you need your hat off.
00:42:06All right.
00:42:07Yeah, come on.
00:42:08Mary?
00:42:10Can I ask you something?
00:42:11Mm-hmm.
00:42:12Yeah, sure.
00:42:14I'll get that.
00:42:16Will you...
00:42:17Kiss me goodnight?
00:42:20Please.
00:42:22Kiss me goodnight.
00:42:24Come here.
00:42:26All right, now.
00:42:28Okay.
00:42:31I'm in love, mama.
00:42:33Night after night, Ezra stood watch at the bar, waiting for the opportunity to be alone
00:42:41with Mary.
00:42:42Then, one night.
00:42:44Find out.
00:42:53I always llama.
00:42:54I did think he did.
00:42:55I love him.
00:42:57I mean, theéå kid, there's over and over
00:42:58the ingredients.
00:43:00drinking button myself.
00:43:01Without me.
00:43:01I don't like delvious, not every cooking
00:43:02engineer would say can not be the worst pick.
00:43:02Look.
00:43:03I'm coming back with her kid.
00:43:04I know I've been hit three times out on the down pal.
00:43:05I can see he's done before me.
00:43:06I'll find out of the place.
00:43:07I have to go checkpoint, menspace.
00:43:08ģź° would say heź² me, for instance.
00:43:09If he can do it for us, I've been behind there.
00:43:09And after when she forgets him to make my poor heart glad
00:43:13Oh yes, I phoned her twice
00:43:15And as of her I'd let her
00:43:18She left her
00:43:39Okay...
00:44:10Hello there.
00:44:14What seems to be the trouble?
00:44:16Ah, Loez. Some goddamn punks.
00:44:19Slash my goddamn tires, that's the trouble. Can you believe it?
00:44:23Oh, boy. They sure do a job on them, don't they?
00:44:28Yes, sir. You know, kids are like that today.
00:44:31Just as dirty as they can be.
00:44:34Always doing dirty things like that and carrying on.
00:44:37Just plain dirty. No other words for it.
00:44:39Oh, look, Ez, could you just give me a lift down the filling station or something, huh?
00:44:42Why? Why, sure, if you want me to.
00:44:44Okay, thanks a lot. I really appreciate it, huh?
00:44:46Sure, any little thing there. Anything I can do.
00:44:52Hey, hey, you just took a wrong turn. That's the way to town.
00:44:56Yes, it was.
00:44:58Well, just turn around and go back.
00:45:01How come?
00:45:03How come? Because that's where I have to go, that's how come.
00:45:07Look, where do you think you're going anyway?
00:45:09My place?
00:45:10Well, the hell you are.
00:45:13Just turn this thing around and stop this truck.
00:45:16I was just going to get a couple of spares I got.
00:45:28I'll put them on your car for nothing.
00:45:30Now, why would you want to go to a mechanic when I'll go do it for nothing?
00:45:34He'll charge you an arm and a leg, and I won't charge you nothing.
00:45:41Okay, but, um, look, look, you're a nice guy, and I like you, but just, uh, don't get any ideas.
00:45:49Just keep your hands to yourself, okay?
00:45:51Yes, sir.
00:45:53Cross my heart.
00:46:21Okay.
00:46:23Would you like to come in?
00:46:27How long do you plan to be?
00:46:29Oh, just a minute or two.
00:46:32I'll wait here.
00:46:33Would you just hurry it up?
00:46:36Yes, sir.
00:46:51What is that?
00:46:53What is your plan to be right?
00:46:54What is your plan to be?
00:46:55Your plan to be right now?
00:46:56How long do you have to be?
00:46:57You'll be right now.
00:46:59I'm back.
00:47:01Just to make sure the plan to be okay.
00:47:03Don't forget the plan to be right , where do you?
00:47:07How long do you have to be right?
00:47:10I don't know.
00:47:12We haven't seen the plan to be right now.
00:47:16Just to make sure you want, never mind.
00:47:18Oh, Christ, what a pain in the ass.
00:47:40Come on!
00:47:45Oh, shit.
00:47:48Oh, shit.

00:54:34Have a little something to eat.
00:54:36My mama says you can tell a lot about someone by the way they eat.
00:54:42Here we are now.
00:54:46Go on.
00:54:48Go on.
00:55:01It's all set up for you.
00:55:05That's your place there.
00:55:07At the end.
00:55:09Go on.
00:55:11Come on.
00:55:16Won't you sit down please, ma'am?
00:55:27Mama.
00:55:28This is Mary Ransom.
00:55:30I think she likes you.
00:55:41Ain't nothing to be afraid of, Mary.
00:55:44Shoot.
00:55:46We do all the things we used to do.
00:55:48Well, the ladies here, they play bridge out on the porch.
00:55:57We...
00:55:58We laugh.
00:55:59We eat.
00:56:02There's practical considerations, too.
00:56:05See?
00:56:06They help me make things.
00:56:07See this?
00:56:08They help me make things.
00:56:09See this?
00:56:13They didn't cap it.
00:56:14They didn't cap it.
00:56:28They didn't cap it.
00:56:29They didn't cap it.
00:56:30They didn't cap it.
00:56:31They didn't cap it.
00:56:33They're happy.
00:56:34They're not from a corner.
00:56:35They break down.
00:56:37They're not from a corner to a corner.
00:56:39Art, it comes from right down here.
00:56:51It's the drum.
00:56:56It's a belly drum.
00:57:05I'm just trying to show you.
00:57:07I got talents, too.
00:57:10I may not be handsome like some of them other fellows you meet up there, but...
00:57:17You know, ten to one says you feel a lot better if you eat something.
00:57:21I would eat, but I can't.
00:57:25How come?
00:57:27My hands.
00:57:29Oh.
00:57:31That's true.
00:57:33Ain't it?
00:57:34But if I untie you, you'll try something.
00:57:43No, I won't.
00:57:44I promise.
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:53As that's not a very nice way to treat your bride, is it?
00:57:59As is it.
00:58:00Gosh.
00:58:05No, it...
00:58:06It sure ain't.
00:58:08I really love you, Mary.
00:58:10I really love you, Mary.
00:58:20I really love you, Mary.
00:58:37I love you too, Wes.
00:58:40I knew you did.
00:58:42I knew deep down you did.
00:58:45I'll do everything.
00:58:46You just...
00:58:50Just rest.
00:58:52Just sleep.
00:58:58Call me when you want something.
00:59:10You'll always be protected.
00:59:16I'll put you on a pedestal, Mary.
00:59:21Yes, untie my hand so I can touch you too.
00:59:39Oh, Mary.
00:59:43She...
00:59:47Let me...
00:59:51Uh...
00:59:54Ah!
00:59:55No!
01:00:25Mama! Mama!
01:00:55The only clue left to the police in the disappearance of Mary Ransom was her parked car with the two rear tires slashed.
01:01:21Hardly astonishing, then, that no one ever thought of Ezra Cobb as a suspect in the barmaid's disappearance.
01:01:27If only they had.
01:01:28Well, well, well, well, well, well, well.
01:01:31Guess they ain't never gonna stop talking about that.
01:01:34Talking about what?
01:01:36That dang hool barmaid, that Mary What's-Her-Name?
01:01:39Don't they know they ain't never gonna find that girl now?
01:01:42Missing like that for that long? Ha!
01:01:45They have no better.
01:01:47She ain't missing.
01:01:48Oh, you got a theory, too.
01:01:50She ain't missing.
01:01:52I got her.
01:01:53You got her.
01:01:54I got her.
01:01:55Yes, what do you mean, you got her?
01:01:58That was my place.
01:02:00Mama, Miss Johnson, a lot of others, too.
01:02:03Hey, did you cut out that kind of talk?
01:02:07I just didn't want you to worry about her, that's all.
01:02:09Well, I ain't worried about her.
01:02:12Besides that, there wouldn't be nothing to worry about anyway if you had her, that's for dang sure.
01:02:17Well, you wouldn't know what to do if it was set right down your lap.
01:02:20Ez, you cut out that crazy talk.
01:02:22I was only joking.
01:02:24It ain't very funny.
01:02:25One of these days, you're gonna get yourself lopped up in a pokey.
01:02:27Hello, Dad.
01:02:28I'm home.
01:02:30Hi there, son.
01:02:31Afternoon, Sally.
01:02:32Hi, Mr. Kurtz.
01:02:33Hello, Ezra.
01:02:34Do you know Sally?
01:02:35No, sir.
01:02:36Sure don't.
01:02:37Hello, Sally.
01:02:38Hi.
01:02:39Hi.
01:02:40Listen, I'll be back in a minute.
01:02:41Yeah, Sally here works down at Anderson's Hardware Store.
01:02:44Gonna slip us a few free shells, come tight.
01:02:45Ain't Sally, huh?
01:02:46No, sir, I can't do that.
01:02:48You can sure give us a little discount, can't you?
01:02:50Sorry, I can't do that either.
01:02:52Well, what am I gonna do?
01:02:54I mean, hunting season starts next week.
01:02:56Yeah, that's what am I gonna do.
01:02:58I gotta buy myself some shells, I gotta get some traps, gotta get a whole bunch of gear.
01:03:02Actually, I wish they didn't sell that stuff down there.
01:03:05I really don't like it.
01:03:07You don't like it?
01:03:08How come you don't like it?
01:03:09Well, you know, I just don't like the idea of shooting animals and trapping them and...
01:03:15Oh, Sally's soft-hearted.
01:03:18Ah, so is Ezra, ain't she, huh?
01:03:20I guess so.
01:03:22You know, honey, we didn't shoot them.
01:03:23They just starved to death.
01:03:25Gotta keep that balance, you know?
01:03:26Don't you worry about them days, that way.
01:03:28They don't feel nothing.
01:03:29I'll never believe that.
01:03:30Wow.
01:03:31Let's keep going.
01:03:32Okay, Mr. Kurtz.
01:03:33Bye, Sal.
01:03:34See you later, son.
01:03:35Bye.
01:03:36Bye.
01:03:37Bye.
01:03:38Bye.
01:03:39Bye.
01:03:40Bye.
01:03:41Bye.
01:03:43Today, Ezra.
01:04:08Whoa, Ezra!
01:04:09Coming home with us today, Ez?
01:04:13Oh, no, I'm just going to get some antifreeze.
01:04:17We'll all need some.
01:04:18We keep standing around out here.
01:04:24Good morning, Sally.
01:04:25Oh, good morning.
01:04:39Do I get my change, or do I have to pay for that, too?
01:04:42I'm sorry.
01:04:47You shouldn't do that, Brad.
01:04:51Is that a beauty?
01:04:53Hey, Ez, come over here.
01:04:54Have a look.
01:04:57Is that a beauty, or is that a beauty?
01:05:00Oh, Ez, you feel that?
01:05:12You just snuggle up with that, Ez.
01:05:14The fellow just hit just about anything that moves with that, wouldn't he?
01:05:34Yeah.
01:05:36It's nice, all right.
01:05:37Well, that's sure got to be an understatement, I guess.
01:05:42You know, the only thing wrong with you is you don't know nothing about guns, because
01:05:45if you did, you'd sure see what a beautiful piece of work this here thing is.
01:05:49It sure is that.
01:05:53Yeah.
01:05:56Well, me and Brad better get the hell out of here, or all those damn deer will be gone to Florida.
01:06:00Okay, will we stick those on the bill, Sal?
01:06:05Fine.
01:06:05Now, you got everything you need, son?
01:06:06Yeah.
01:06:07Okay, Ez?
01:06:08Huh?
01:06:09You sure you won't come with us now?
01:06:11Where are you going?
01:06:12Up east over Landridge Road.
01:06:14Oh, no thanks.
01:06:17Always had good luck up there, Ez.
01:06:19No, I don't like that stuff.
01:06:23Okay, so on.
01:06:24We'll be back later to fill up the thermos.
01:06:26See you later.
01:06:27Okay, bye-bye.
01:06:36Um, just the antifreeze?
01:06:38Would you like anything else, Ezra?
01:06:48I, I, I just...
01:06:50go and look around.
01:06:51Oh, that's fine.
01:06:53Take your time.
01:07:04We'll be back in the Federation sooner, of course.
01:07:08We're back.
01:07:09Totally.
