00:00:00I
00:04:31It can't always work, Gil.
00:04:33There's got to be death for everyone sometime.
00:04:35Why?
00:04:36I've been watching you for over three hours.
00:04:53That's a long time to take.
00:04:54That's a long time to take when you die.
00:04:55It took nine months.
00:04:56It took nine months on the other end.
00:04:57There's one dedicated man to another.
00:04:59There, there are a few questions.
00:05:00There, there are a few questions I want to ask you.
00:05:01That's right.
00:05:02The local office of the local office.
00:05:03The local office of bullets and bodies, what can you tell me?
00:05:05It's a long time to take care of you.
00:05:06Only that a few ounces of lead just destroyed 3,000 years of medical research.
00:05:09I saw your little outburst of perfectionism in there and I'm sure you have several million
00:05:15words on the ideals and objectives of medical science, but all I'd like to know is what happened
00:05:20so I can start an accurate report.
00:05:22The body will be in the morgue tomorrow.
00:05:24Why bother me?
00:05:27I find it valuable to get as many details as possible before minds have become colored
00:05:33by the calmness and disimpleness born of time.
00:05:36It's the kind of attitude that's raised me to the lieutenant, made my wife and children
00:05:40very proud of me.
00:05:41There's nothing I can contribute to your next promotion.
00:05:43Oh, come now, doctor.
00:05:45As assistant chief of surgery in a hospital of this size, a man of your age, you must have
00:05:50more than average ability and powers of observation.
00:05:53There were three .38 caliber bullets, weren't there?
00:05:56Yes.
00:05:57What was the specific cause of death?
00:05:59Three bullets.
00:06:01Yes, I see.
00:06:02I shouldn't have put it that way in your present state of mind.
00:06:05Acute hemorrhage complicated by lung and spinal damage.
00:06:10The bullet's shattered ribs entering from the back, penetrating the lung and exiting just
00:06:15to the right of the sternum, all right?
00:06:17Indicating a tight little pattern of rapid fire at a slight upward angle.
00:06:21Our murderer could have been a short man standing or any kind of man sitting.
00:06:25Would it be your habit to sit on the curb at 8 or 8.30 on a night this cold?
00:06:29Hardly.
00:06:30The fresh tire marks we found do associate, then.
00:06:34I see you pinning on captain's bars already.
00:06:37Anything else?
00:06:38No.
00:06:40Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:06:42Yes?
00:06:51Unusual, considering the extent of damage.
00:06:54But while we were getting ready for surgery, Ken told me they almost had to pry his hands from the lamppost.
00:07:00When I was operating, I noticed them too.
00:07:03Powerful hands, yet sensitive at the same time.
00:07:06He never relaxed even when he was still alive and unconscious.
00:07:10Well, that's the type of thing I might never have realized.
00:07:14Could tell us a great deal about him.
00:07:17Hands.
00:07:19Amazing things when you think about it.
00:07:22A genius device of flesh and bone that can paint a beautiful picture, control a scalpel, press a trigger.
00:07:29And, perhaps, the delicately lined pictures on the tips of those hands themselves may tell me all I want to know.
00:07:35Tell me all I want to know.
00:07:36Who knows?
00:07:37And, of course, I want to yourself an amazing singer.
00:07:38I mean, because I, apart from Chad
00:07:40I define the tone that I've already had a wonderful concert with.
00:07:42Who knows?
00:07:43Oh,
00:07:49Just because I don't know, I'm going to and a brag to those peu wreckage scenes, it's all
00:07:54Murray, mind as well.
00:07:56Now it looks similar to your version of Gatsby's 2014.
00:07:58And for that, you know, how you gave me from the deadline of P Heather?
00:08:01That's probably a good sign.
00:08:02Now here in might.
00:08:03Well, I dunno.
00:10:34The wandering herd is coming through that door to lift you on their shoulders.
00:10:37I still have to get some details straight with you about the New York concert and recordings
00:10:40before I make that 12.30 play.
00:10:42Just a few minutes, George, to let my ego feed off the crowd.
00:10:46Tina, I want you to go ahead to the party with the others.
00:10:48I'll join you as soon as George and I are through.
00:10:49Hmm, lucky piano.
00:11:01Lucky me.
00:11:03I'm jealous of you both, you know.
00:11:06I want to be so much to this magnificent man.
00:11:09Wouldn't that be a little like playing the same composition over and over?
00:11:12Beautiful, perhaps, but monotonous.
00:11:14You're not only brilliant, you're obscene.
00:11:17I'll forgive you only if you promise to keep me very close to you all of this exciting night.
00:11:21I want you to go ahead to the party with Tina and the others.
00:11:24George and I have business first.
00:11:25Oh, you're hard to love sometimes.
00:11:33Tina, I know all of this makes you very happy, but when does your life begin?
00:11:38When do I trade in my brother and his piano on babies and things?
00:11:42Something like that.
00:11:44When he doesn't need me anymore, I guess.
00:11:46I think it's time.
00:11:48He's old enough, successful enough.
00:11:50He certainly always seems to have plenty of women around him.
00:11:53Implying a scandalous relationship between me and my brother.
00:11:57Well.
00:11:59George, you see those soft gray gloves he always wears before and after he plays?
00:12:05Remember the time you kidded him about them?
00:12:07You said they were a great publicity gimmick and you wished you'd thought of them first.
00:12:11I think that's the only time I ever saw him angry at you.
00:12:15He needs those gloves.
00:12:16They protect his hands from the cold.
00:12:19And they help keep his fingers completely flexible when he plays.
00:12:23It may be psychological, but it's a part of his greatness with music.
00:12:27Everything's a part of it.
00:12:29You're his gray gloves at the business world and...
00:12:33And you're his gray gloves against loneliness.
00:12:36For the time being.
00:12:37A great many women love the dramatic concept of Vernon Paris at a Saturday night concert and the parties that go after.
00:12:46It's amazing how few of them are willing to wait and fight through the hours of practice and insecurity that make each Saturday night possible.
00:12:54Dina, I don't think he's that dedicated.
00:12:56Oh, but he is.
00:12:57You should know.
00:12:58He's the most selfish man in the world when it comes to his concept of the creation of beauty.
00:13:03He pours everything into it.
00:13:06It's the source of his greatness and of his loneliness.
00:13:12Hey, you're the guy on the billboard, aren't you?
00:13:14What was that?
00:13:17The poster outside the theater.
00:13:19You're the guy with the piano.
00:13:21That's right.
00:13:22Boy, my kid sure loves music.
00:13:24Really?
00:13:25Yeah, he practices all the time.
00:13:27He'd really like to meet you.
00:13:29Well, bring him around next time I'm here.
00:13:30I'll have some passes for him.
00:13:32You're okay, Mr. Paris.
00:13:34Maybe sometime you could even hear him play.
00:13:36Maybe.
00:13:37How old is he?
00:13:38Ten.
00:13:40Don't think he's a sissy.
00:13:42He's the best shortstop on the school team.
00:13:44I play the piano and I don't think I'm a sissy.
00:13:47You know what I mean.
00:13:49Yes, I know.
00:13:50Ten-year-old boys just don't, usually.
00:13:52It's something his mother always wanted.
00:13:56She died four years ago.
00:14:00Then I found this teacher who'd come give lessons at night.
00:14:04It's a good time for it, too.
00:14:05Night.
00:14:09That's when you can start thinking about a lot of things.
00:14:13Yeah, a lot of things.
00:14:15His piano and all the practicing make it easier.
00:14:18Even the bad notes.
00:14:19Music and people go together.
00:14:22Like kids and dogs.
00:14:24Then be sure you teach him the creation of beauty is something you can never lose.
00:14:27Once achieved, it's with you all your life.
00:14:29I think he knows it already.
00:14:32I only hope it makes him amount to something more than his old man.
00:14:36He's got to fight, too.
00:14:37You tell him most people waste time with meaningless fights.
00:14:40The only real enemies the world has are the enemies of beauty.
00:14:43That's the only thing you'll ever have to fight.
00:14:45I never thought about it like that.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:48Hey, I want you to see a picture of my kid.
00:14:51I've got it right here.
00:14:55Look out!
00:15:06I don't see any other way.
00:15:08Get him ready.
00:15:09What are you going to do?
00:15:14You're not supposed to be in here.
00:15:16Regulations be damned.
00:15:16What are you going to do?
00:15:17All right, Mr. Britton.
00:15:19You have a right to know.
00:15:21I'm going to amputate what's left of his hands.
00:15:25You're mad.
00:15:26This man is Vernon Parrish.
00:15:27You can't cut off his hands.
00:15:29He no longer has anything left that resembles hands.
00:15:31You're wrong.
00:15:32You've got to be wrong.
00:15:33I was at the accident.
00:15:34I saw them.
00:15:35They were cut, bleeding, bent.
00:15:37Yes, but my God, they were still hands.
00:15:39You're overlooking a basic fact.
00:15:42His gloves were cut, torn, bloodstained, but still with a semblance of shape.
00:15:47That's what you saw.
00:15:49Gloves.
00:15:54You know, to do this to a man like that,
00:15:58it'd be better just to drive your scalpel through his heart.
00:16:00Simpler for you.
00:16:03Same result for him.
00:16:05Without his hands, Vernon Parrish would be dead.
00:16:08Tell me, Doctor.
00:16:10What would your reaction be if suddenly
00:16:12you were to find yourself without either one of these?
00:16:17Yes.
00:16:18Now, let's pretend they are your hands.
00:16:20What would you do?
00:16:23Well, there's...
00:16:24Yes.
00:16:27There's only one possibility.
00:16:29The odds against success are almost total.
00:16:33Almost, as opposed to something that's already definite.
00:16:45I wonder if we're thinking the same thing.
00:16:49Couldn't be anything else under the circumstances, could it?
00:16:53You've got to get permission first.
00:16:55There's no time.
00:16:56Perhaps it was lucky for all of us
00:17:01that you were just behind him in the crash.
00:17:06You're going to try something radical.
00:17:08I don't know if you're going to like it.
00:17:10It doesn't matter as long as you save his hands.
00:17:12Nothing will save him.
00:17:14But he'll have hands.
00:17:15Mechanical hands are of no use to this man.
00:17:17Don't you understand that?
00:17:18Perfect.
00:17:19I said hands.
00:17:21Some years ago, people would have called you crazy
00:17:23if you told them that you could take part of one human eye
00:17:26and place it in another.
00:17:28Yet today, a corneal transplant is a standard operation.
00:17:31It gives renewed sight.
00:17:32Yes, I know, but hands are different.
00:17:34A different part of the same human body.
00:17:38Surgical scientists in every country all over the world
00:17:40are dedicated to the future truth.
00:17:42That human life one day might be extended indefinitely.
00:17:45By the replacement of defective or worn-out parts.
00:17:51Right now, such a principle is the only one
00:17:53that will save the musical talent of your friend.
00:17:55But muscles, nerves...
00:17:57How do you know them?
00:17:58I've already told you we don't.
00:18:02Now, do we go ahead or not?
00:18:10You know why I want you here?
00:18:12I'm asking you to stick your neck out.
00:18:15Maybe.
00:18:16I've pulled you in on a lot of operations.
00:18:18Made you watch and study.
00:18:20Deliberately made you accept a crash program of training
00:18:23because you have the mind and heart of a great surgeon.
00:18:26I want you to be ready sooner.
00:18:29You'll have even more time to save lives
00:18:30and make others better.
00:18:32I'm grateful, Gil.
00:18:33Don't be grateful.
00:18:34Be good.
00:18:36Pay closer attention tonight than ever.
00:18:39You have five years on both Russ and me.
00:18:41Your lifetime, this type of an impossible in surgery
00:18:46may become a reality.
00:18:48Later, you'll be making the contributions.
00:18:52Stand opposite me at the table.
00:18:55Gil.
00:18:55Yeah?
00:18:58I don't think you're asking me to stick my neck out.
00:19:01No?
00:19:03No.
00:19:05I think you fully expect this to work.
00:19:07I think you fully expect this to work.
00:19:07Keep them as close to the surface as possible.
00:19:18I want maximum response in the muscles and nerves.
00:19:23And now...
00:19:24No.
00:19:37No.
00:19:40No.
00:19:40No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44Why, my God, why, what right have they got to do a thing like that, not the Vernon, not
00:20:13his head? Dina, you've got to understand. I understand you're trying to make me believe a nightmare.
00:20:36I can only tell you that surgically everything went as planned. Surgically everything went as
00:20:42planned. Dina Paris, Dr. Harding. I'm sorry we have to meet under these circumstances.
00:20:51I'm sorry we have to meet at all. I know how you must feel about his loss. You pretend to understand
00:20:58what a pair of hands means to a man like my brother? I think a surgeon is aware of the importance of the
00:21:03human hand in all its aspects. Well, perhaps there's one you've overlooked. You think you understand the
00:21:10human hand? I'll teach you more than you ever thought you knew about. You're not a doctor. You're a monster.
00:21:18A something crazy monster. I must be having a nightmare. I know I'll wake up. I've got to.
00:21:29I've transplanted other hands, yes. Done in order to save his talent, not destroy it. What I cut from the
00:21:36ends of his arms no longer resembled hands. A lie. It's got to be a lie. You needed some kind of a
00:21:43guinea pig for your insane experiments. Miss Paris, what we did in that operating room just
00:21:48now could end all our careers. If you want vengeance, you can have it very easily because
00:21:52we didn't get your approval. But if you choose that vengeance, you may set off a chain of emotional
00:21:57reaction in your brother that'll guarantee failure. Guarantee that he'll never have hands. You cannot turn my
00:22:02brother into some kind of a freak two-headed dog just for the sake of science. There's something you
00:22:08have to see. You can't do that. I don't think she'll understand any other way.
00:22:26I don't think she'll understand any other way.
00:22:29I don't think she'll understand any other way.
00:22:37Please.
00:22:56I saw them before the operation.
00:23:13The genius that flowed through these hands is no more. But his basic genius remains. The great deal of
00:23:20luck will have made it possible for him to continue. You must have faith. Is it faith, doctor? Or just
00:23:29ego as far as your particular talents of concern? Tonight, four people did everything in their power to
00:23:34help your brother. I appreciate your feeling of personal tragedy, but I think you've wallowed in it long
00:23:39enough at my expense. Listen, doctor, I realize you've been through a great deal tonight, but I don't
00:23:44think you... But I do think. From now on, the only thing that's important is the absolute cooperation of
00:23:48everyone involved in this man's life. Cooperation that'll create the proper recovery state of
00:23:52mind for him. Your attitude is a very crude one, doctor. Maybe we ought to wait. No, George.
00:23:59The man who's taken such sudden control of Vernon's life. I want to know what he expects to do.
00:24:06And I want to know whose hands he put on my brother's arms. Can you answer that? No, I can't.
00:24:13There's no precedent for what we've done. No published catalog of spare parts to choose from at the local
00:24:18deep freeze. Then you know nothing about the other man at all. Coincidence placed him on that table
00:24:22two hours before your brother's accident. He had powerful hands. That's all we have to know.
00:24:27That's all. If you're concerned with the possibility that he might have been some kind of madman,
00:24:32let me assure you that psychotic tendencies don't transfer themselves mystically to the physical
00:24:36extremities after death. You know that for a fact? No. No, I don't. I don't even know about
00:24:41mother goose of the weak people in the Glen. You're right. I was cracking under it.
00:24:57A personal loss for us. A terrible responsibility for you.
00:25:03We will be back in the morning. The man has been fingerprinted. A complete check will be run,
00:25:09I assure you. When can we see him? Not for a week. He's under heavy sedation and additional
00:25:14radiation treatments. It's a critical period for his body's acceptance of the hands. Can't we even see
00:25:21him? Trust me. If you can. And when you do see him, it's vital that he believe he's only had simple
00:25:30emergency surgery. I've got to have at least six weeks before the final bandages come off.
00:25:36How long until we really know? It won't be long before his body gives us the answer.
00:25:42What we do as far as his mind is concerned, well, he'll need all of us for that.
00:26:05You know, doctor, I'm one of those people who believes that our department renders a definite
00:26:16service to the safety and welfare of the community, just as you do. Now, I'm sure you observe certain
00:26:22regulations that make your work more orderly, more effective, am I at all, correct?
00:26:28Generally. Well, now, so do we. For instance, when we have a homicide to contend with and we receive a
00:26:35body at the morgue, we feel it's reasonable to expect that we'll receive all of it.
00:26:41Don't ask me why, but I hold a feeling of kinship and respect for a man like you.
00:26:46On the other hand, I suspect you of some premeditated diddling on the hillside. Mind you,
00:26:53I've said nothing about this at the department, because I'm sure you have a totally worthy
00:26:57explanation. So, uh, exactly what have you done with those hands?
00:27:02It's nice to know you're sympathetic to my needs, but you know this isn't enough.
00:27:13What if I told you it had to be enough? For now.
00:27:19Doctor, when I was in college, one of my best friends was a medical student, so, uh,
00:27:24one night he stole into the laboratory and removed part of a cadaver, which he then utilized to produce
00:27:30a therapeutic effect on a timorous young lady at a beer party. Surely you've progressed beyond this.
00:27:37Inspector, let's pretend it's the past. Say, two months prior to the time this technique of
00:27:42identification was established. Suppose you came to me and you said that you were on the verge of a
00:27:48discovery that would greatly advance your profession and mankind as a result.
00:27:55Yet, for definite reasons, you needed those last two months in order to prove it.
00:28:00Do you expect me to block you or to interfere? Hmm. Very good analogy. I'm sorry you thought.
00:28:09Well? It's fortunate for you that I seem to sense a certain quality of honesty and greatness.
00:28:15Otherwise, I'd pull you in right now. Will you go along with me for that long?
00:28:20With the promise you'll be given the complete story the second it's possible.
00:28:24You have enough on this chart for a full preliminary check.
00:28:30Well, you're complicating things for me at the department.
00:28:35I suppose I can create an acceptable story.
00:28:40I suppose I'm as idealistic as you in many ways.
00:28:44I'm sure my wife and children would support me in that up to a point.
00:28:47And for everyone's sake, let's hope we don't pass that point.
00:28:53This will be his first moment of true consciousness.
00:29:04Please let me handle explanations.
00:29:07Guard your reactions against any indication of seriousness.
00:29:09Mr. Paris, do you have visitors?
00:29:28Mr. Paris, do you have visitors? Mr. Paris?
00:29:44Well, my hands...
00:29:55You're going to be perfectly all right.
00:29:57What's happened to my hands?
00:29:58There was a traffic accident.
00:30:01Some of your fingers were broken.
00:30:03You're going to be all right.
00:30:05Cab.
00:30:07That fool driver.
00:30:10Why are my hands like this?
00:30:12We knew who you were, but your hands meant to you.
00:30:15We've immobilized them so the fingers will mend perfectly.
00:30:18I have to be in New York.
00:30:21Concerts, recordings.
00:30:23I've postponed them until you're well again.
00:30:26You will play again, Vernon.
00:30:28You will.
00:30:29Dina, don't lie to me.
00:30:31I'm not lying, darling.
00:30:33Dr. Harding did a beautiful job.
00:30:36Your hands will be perfect.
00:30:38Not too much.
00:30:40Harding.
00:30:41Perfect, Dr. Harding.
00:30:51In your terms or in mine?
00:30:53In yours.
00:30:55In just a few weeks, you'll have full flexibility again.
00:30:58Full timing.
00:30:59Might have to happen to my hands.
00:31:02Lucky it was only this.
00:31:03Glass was shattered from every window of the camp.
00:31:07You can see to play.
00:31:09And you will.
00:31:10All you need is that belief and some patience.
00:31:14Not very aesthetic, is it, George?
00:31:27Might make an unusual shot for our next poster.
00:31:31You're going to be all right, Vernon.
00:31:32Does Eileen know about this?
00:31:35I don't know.
00:31:38But she was at the party.
00:31:40Isn't that where they notified you?
00:31:41Yes.
00:31:42Well, it's all right.
00:31:47My little dramatic butterfly wouldn't like it here very much.
00:31:51No bright lights.
00:31:53Mixed oles.
00:31:55You don't serve martinis.
00:31:56Do you, Doctor?
00:31:58Not for the time being.
00:31:59Well, I guess she'll be around again when things aren't so stark and sterile.
00:32:04It'll be a month before we can remove the bandages.
00:32:08You can go home in a week.
00:32:10I think you'll be more comfortable there.
00:32:12Home.
00:32:14Where I can stare at the piano.
00:32:15I wonder how long it's going to be.
00:32:20And how good it'll ever be again.
00:32:22So you can stare at it.
00:32:24Remind yourself to be patient.
00:32:27To fight for something that's important.
00:32:30And beautiful.
00:32:37Perfect fusion on both.
00:32:40You're going to kill him?
00:32:42Not yet.
00:32:42All we know is that his body's accepted the hands.
00:32:46We don't know how they're going to function.
00:32:47But nobody's even gotten this far before.
00:32:50Do you realize what that means?
00:32:51It only means we've taken a step, Ken.
00:32:53That's not enough.
00:32:54Not enough?
00:32:56Gil, even if the rest fails.
00:32:58If the nerve and muscle connections don't work.
00:33:00It must work.
00:33:02But you can't hope for too much.
00:33:04Why not?
00:33:05It's the only way we have the courage to take the next step.
00:33:08That's the next.
00:33:10Well, when will we know?
00:33:11That's why I've called you in here.
00:33:14I've waited longer than I planned to be sure.
00:33:17Now, I'm going over to remove the bandages and make the first reflex test.
00:33:23I want you all there because you helped make it possible.
00:33:26Also, I think you'll need all the moral support we can give him.
00:33:29This may not be pleasant.
00:33:32So if any of you don't want to come, say so.
00:33:36Russ?
00:33:39Kenny?
00:33:46Holly?
00:33:47Did I ever tell you I couldn't stand the sight of blood?
00:33:49Let's see if our dream is a realistic one.
00:33:55If it's possible to recreate beauty out of chaos.
00:33:58Let's see if our dream is a realistic one.
00:33:59If it's possible to recreate beauty out of chaos.
00:34:01Dina, push the lamp back a little.
00:34:14We don't need that much.
00:34:15I hope you don't mind an audience.
00:34:25Russ, Ken, and Holly all helped the night of the accident.
00:34:29I'm used to audiences.
00:34:31Glad to have one again after so long.
00:34:34These weeks of waiting haven't been easy, but if it ends well, I'll be grateful to all of you.
00:34:39Are you ready?
00:34:41After seven weeks, yes, I'm ready.
00:34:43You must do one thing for me.
00:34:46I ask you not to question it.
00:34:48I want you to close your eyes and keep them closed.
00:34:51Until I tell you.
00:34:53That shouldn't be so hard.
00:34:54Only a few more minutes after seven weeks.
00:34:59Apparently, dramatics aren't limited to the stage.
00:35:13That's BO근ers are a part z Obi-Wan, but you should say, oh.
00:35:20And if you have glasses!
00:35:21And if you are trying to keep themanting, I will make you up for your access.
00:35:24Then let's take someズy and go for your makeup first.
00:35:24And close your eyes and come.
00:35:26Let's try it.
00:35:27That's constrictly not worthy of respect.
00:35:29You might not want you to avoidοιπόν painting, but you should pay for by yourself...
00:35:30You shall weet no more!
00:35:31Can we start?
00:35:31You shall be estashtAY, because you must be ngay right away...
00:35:33Keep your hands flat on the table.
00:35:53Now, I'm going to touch the fingers of your hand.
00:35:58Each time when you feel the touch, I want you to move that finger.
00:36:03Now you can trick the fingers and forget it fromapo.
00:36:11You can actuallyak the finger at that.
00:36:17You can Mitar with your hand.
00:37:20Before you open your eyes, I'm going to tell you one thing.
00:37:27I want you to remember it.
00:37:28It's vital that you do.
00:37:30Are you trying to ease me into acceptance of a failure, Doctor?
00:37:33What we've done for you surpasses my hopes.
00:37:36But the success of every surgery depends on two things.
00:37:40Medical skill and acceptance on the part of the patient.
00:37:43Are these your usual terms for such a thing as simple as broken fingers?
00:37:46I don't think so.
00:37:47Keep your eyes closed.
00:37:48The response in your fingers is 80% correct.
00:37:52The rest will return, but it's going to take practice on your part.
00:37:55You were right about one thing.
00:37:56It was more than just broken fingers.
00:38:03But the thing that you've got to believe is that we've been successful.
00:38:06Because we have.
00:38:07During these weeks of waiting, you told me about your absolute belief in music and beauty.
00:38:12When you open your eyes, you're going to see something that will demand a great deal of the sensitivity, courage, and creative thinking you have as an artist.
00:38:23Now, open your eyes.
00:38:27And now, open your eyes.
00:38:57What have you done to my hands?
00:39:03They were terribly mangled in the accident.
00:39:06We've made it possible...
00:39:07What have you done?
00:39:08We've made it possible for you to have perfectly good hands.
00:39:11These aren't my hands?
00:39:16What have you done?
00:39:17We've given you hands, but you had none.
00:39:21When you arrived at the hospital, we were faced with a tragedy.
00:39:24We didn't accept that.
00:39:26We fought to restore the beauty that was so important to you.
00:39:29And we did.
00:39:31They're strong, normal hands.
00:39:34And your bodies accepted them.
00:39:35Now you must accept them.
00:39:37And fight.
00:39:39Why?
00:39:39Why?
00:39:40Because it is.
00:39:41What have you done with my hands?
00:39:43What you brought to the hospital were no longer hands.
00:39:55Stand up.
00:40:14Take hold of my arm.
00:40:29Take hold of my arm.
00:40:33Both hands.
00:40:44Rip it.
00:40:45As hard as he can.
00:40:46The fact that you can even do that proves the muscles work.
00:40:54You feel my arm?
00:41:00That proves the nerves are functioning.
00:41:02Muscles and nerves.
00:41:03That's all you need.
00:41:05These hands are new.
00:41:06But your talent isn't.
00:41:08What happened to you seven weeks ago was cruel.
00:41:10What I'm doing to you now is cruel.
00:41:13But what we did in that operating room wasn't.
00:41:15Now you can accept or you can quit.
00:41:17It's up to you.
00:41:18Get out.
00:41:28Vernon, all of you.
00:41:48Patience.
00:41:51Exercise.
00:41:53Belief.
00:41:55There's every chance in the world.
00:41:59Every chance.
00:42:01That beauty can once more be created by your surgical freak.
00:42:06It can.
00:42:06You're right, doctor.
00:42:09You were cruel just now.
00:42:11But your bluntness has restored reality for me.
00:42:14I'm just not sure how long it can remain.
00:42:18I suggest you leave now.
00:42:20Tomorrow we'll talk about that reality.
00:42:30I'll be back, Vernon.
00:42:31Vernon.
00:42:31Vernon.
00:42:44I know, George.
00:42:47I'll call.
00:43:04Let him have his anger and torment for now.
00:43:07I think he'll be strong enough later to accept the fight.
00:43:11His finger reactions weren't even right.
00:43:13Yes, they were.
00:43:14But when you touched them.
00:43:15I touched the fingers on each hand in sequence at first.
00:43:18Then I deliberately changed the sequence.
00:43:20The finger that reacted was the one he thought should react next.
00:43:23Then I went back and touched the finger.
00:43:25And it moved.
00:43:27It's simply a matter of mental coordination on his part.
00:43:31Seems so much to expect.
00:43:33Dina, what we've done has never been done before.
00:43:37It's a triumph for us.
00:43:39But it's got to be one for him, too.
00:43:40I think I'd better move in here for a while.
00:43:45He'll need you.
00:43:47I wonder if there'll ever be a day when he doesn't.
00:43:49Please leave me alone.
00:44:09I know how hard it is for you to accept.
00:44:16But do you realize what Gil has done for you?
00:44:20Yes.
00:44:21He made them come true.
00:44:24Those dreams I've had through the years about something happening to my hands.
00:44:28Gil's genius has made it possible for your talent to continue.
00:44:31His genius with a knife and the human body has put on my arms and hands of some man I don't even know.
00:44:36Is that important if you can play again?
00:44:38Important?
00:44:40It's important my sanity can even accept that these are mine.
00:44:44This genius has given me hands to feel with.
00:44:46But can he guarantee these stolen jokes of flesh and bone will ever be?
00:44:51These are your hands.
00:44:53Now it's up to you to make them sing in the future as they did in the past.
00:44:56It's you who control your hands.
00:44:59Don't you understand?
00:45:00I was my hands.
00:45:02They were my life.
00:45:03Now I'm carrying the life of someone I know nothing about.
00:45:06Then you must learn again.
00:45:08Or you will have no life.
00:45:11Why me?
00:45:13Why couldn't this have happened to that cab driver who doesn't need his hands so much?
00:45:17I only know from Gil that the man suffered too.
00:45:21His life may not be as delicate or as complex as yours.
00:45:25But I'm sure he'll fight to maintain it.
00:45:34Leave me alone.
00:45:36I'm going to stay here for a while.
00:45:39I'll be back as soon as I get some things from my apartment.
00:45:47Please be patient.
00:45:48I'll be back as soon as I get here for a while.
00:47:29Why, you're a half-hour.
00:47:46Why, Vernon, what a pleasant surprise.
00:47:48I want to talk to you.
00:47:50I can't right now.
00:47:51It's important.
00:47:52All right, but I only have a few minutes.
00:47:55You always did have a talent for creating the proper visual mood.
00:48:13This is no concern of yours.
00:48:15Obviously, since our relationship is primarily a social one.
00:48:18What does that mean?
00:48:19It must be if you haven't been interested enough to see me during these past weeks.
00:48:22I called the hospital the following day, left my sympathies.
00:48:26Very generous of you.
00:48:27Vernon, I'm very sorry about your accident, but...
00:48:29The pain isn't a desirable substitute for laughter and excitement, is it?
00:48:32Vernon, I've had a great many things to do.
00:48:35I'm also expecting a guest within a half hour.
00:48:36A guest?
00:48:37You don't own me, Vernon.
00:48:39I know.
00:48:39I know.
00:48:49But now I need you.
00:48:50How interesting.
00:48:51Well, there were times when I needed you.
00:48:54Remember your favorite line?
00:48:55That would be too much like playing a great composition over and over.
00:48:59You had to play many in order to live and grow as an artist.
00:49:01There's a difference now.
00:49:02I can't explain everything right away, but my life has changed.
00:49:07You've got to understand.
00:49:08Vernon, if one of your other women has put you in your place, I don't see any reason to
00:49:11come crying to me.
00:49:12That's not it.
00:49:14Yes, there were others.
00:49:15There were others for you, too.
00:49:15I don't think either of us had any illusions about that.
00:49:18But for me, we're always the most important, the loveliest.
00:49:22In the back of my mind, maybe I always thought, someday...
00:49:25Vernon, neither of us ever thought that someday.
00:49:28You were always a very exciting, very desirable man.
00:49:31But this attitude in you now, this heaviness, I don't like it at all.
00:49:34I'll be very happy to see you on the old basis, but right now, I'd wish you'd go.
00:49:38What if the old basis has been changed by something I can do nothing about?
00:49:41I don't like you this way, and I don't like riddles.
00:49:43What if there won't be any concerts or parties?
00:49:45What if they'll only be me?
00:49:46Stop it, Vernon.
00:49:46I've never seen you this way, and I don't want you this way.
00:49:48What if there won't only be me?
00:49:49Stop it.
00:49:50Stop it.
00:49:50Answer me.
00:49:51Let me go.
00:49:52Your hands are breaking my arms.
00:49:53Your hands.
00:49:54Yes, my hands.
00:49:55The hands that brought you concerts, parties, glamour, excitement.
00:49:58That's what happened when you called to leave your sympathies.
00:50:01My hands that you knew so well.
00:50:04They don't look like my hands, do they?
00:50:09They're not.
00:50:10My hands were destroyed the night of my greatest concert.
00:50:12But medical science gave me a new pair of hands.
00:50:14Hands from another body so that I can play again.
00:50:16Yes, Eileen, I may play again.
00:50:18But I may not.
00:50:20What if there'll only be me?
00:50:20What will you do if I need your help now more than I need your beauty?
00:50:23Don't touch me.
00:50:24You should take off.
00:50:49You too, Holly.
00:50:51Kenny can handle emergency tonight.
00:50:52Oh, sure.
00:50:53And when do I get a chance to get married?
00:50:55I have a girl who's pretty fed up already.
00:50:56Who ever heard of young doctors getting married?
00:50:59You have to be middle-aged before you can afford to be married.
00:51:02Yeah.
00:51:03I see what you mean.
00:51:04Come on, Junior.
00:51:05I have a new trick I want to show you with a scalpel.
00:51:06You know, I've got a boyfriend who's the greatest guy in the world, but...
00:51:17Holly, never get interested in a dedicated man.
00:51:22He may look good on the surface, but you can always end up second.
00:51:26No matter how much he feels for you.
00:51:29Thanks, Carol, for putting it the nice way.
00:51:33She's a lucky girl.
00:51:34I know this must make me look pretty much like a snoop, but...
00:51:55I'm sure you understand it's part of my job.
00:51:58I also understand we made a bargain.
00:52:00With a time factor that was up a week ago.
00:52:02You see, I'm not without patience.
00:52:05The main point was I'd give you the complete story as soon as it was possible.
00:52:09You implied you'd trust my judgment.
00:52:11Yes, I remember, but there's a problem.
00:52:14I have somewhat of a neurotic respect for perfection in my work.
00:52:17I don't like to see assignments go unsolved.
00:52:20Although I recognize there's no set schedule for the solution.
00:52:24Specifically, the fingerprints you gave me have been thoroughly checked, and they gave me nothing.
00:52:30You think I gave you a false set.
00:52:32You're not that kind of a man.
00:52:34We're in the process of checking them through foreign bureaus, but while we're waiting, I thought there might be something new you could offer to keep my mind at peace.
00:52:44There's nothing I can tell you yet.
00:52:46There's a human factor that's involved that's critical.
00:52:50Trust me a while longer.
00:52:51Very well.
00:52:54Thanks.
00:52:57In the meantime, please remember my wife and children.
00:53:02When I got back last night, he was sitting at the piano dazed.
00:53:09He didn't say a word all night.
00:53:11I don't think he went to sleep either.
00:53:13And then in the morning came the tragic news of the death of a woman who was very important to him.
00:53:19He was more depressed.
00:53:21When did he leave?
00:53:22Late this morning.
00:53:23He said he wanted to be alone.
00:53:24I wanted to go with him, but he was cruel in the way he rejected me.
00:53:31I'm frightened.
00:53:32Don't be frightened.
00:53:34It's natural in the beginning.
00:53:35He's got to feel sorry for himself.
00:53:38Hate everyone and everything that caused this.
00:53:40He'll be back.
00:53:42I hope you're right.
00:53:43In the meantime, I think the separation's good for us.
00:53:47Let's have dinner.
00:53:48We've never done that.
00:53:50I know a little place with violence not far from here.
00:53:53We'll be back early.
00:54:01Is Tony Wilder live here?
00:54:11Yes, sir.
00:54:12Is he in?
00:54:14No, sir, but he'll be back in a little while.
00:54:16He went to get some.
00:54:18Dog, isn't that great?
00:54:20I'm an old friend of his used to ride in his cab all the time.
00:54:23I want to talk to him.
00:54:25I really shouldn't let you in, but...
00:54:29I guess you look okay.
00:54:32You like dogs?
00:54:35And okay, come on in.
00:54:36You ever had a dog?
00:54:50Hey, mister, you ever had a dog?
00:54:53Yes, a long time ago.
00:54:55And you were a kid like me, huh?
00:54:57You had a piano once, too?
00:55:06Were you any good?
00:55:10I'm good, too.
00:55:13Want me to play for you?
00:55:15Well, I'm not bad, honest.
00:55:17I like to play.
00:55:19Dad's never asked to make me.
00:55:24You know a lot about the piano?
00:55:27I'll play a real great tune I just learned.
00:55:33It'll make you feel better, mister.
00:55:36You don't look so hot.
00:55:38No.
00:55:39Not right now.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:42I like to play for people.
00:55:45Helps me not to be nervous.
00:55:49I'll make you a deal.
00:55:51If you don't like it, I'll quit.
00:55:53Okay?
00:55:57And they were both killed when we were very small.
00:56:02We ended up with relatives who resented the obligation.
00:56:06So more or less, we banded together for emotional survival.
00:56:11We both had a great desire for life, even then.
00:56:13That's important for him now.
00:56:15Perhaps.
00:56:15But I think we became too close as a result, too dependent.
00:56:20I had talent, too, but his was greater.
00:56:23I used my talent to help him.
00:56:26The whole thing was a calculated plan to bring us independence and freedom.
00:56:30And now, just when we were both reaching a point when we could be truly free.
00:56:36Tina, nothing's going to be wasted.
00:56:38Don't you see?
00:56:39By going through this, he can become part of a new and even greater kind of beauty.
00:56:44Maybe that's a lot to imagine right now.
00:56:46But eventually, there could be no such thing as a permanently defective heart.
00:56:50A permanent cripple.
00:56:51A permanent birth malformation.
00:56:53Blindness.
00:56:54Oh, there'll always be accidental deaths.
00:56:57But from these tragedies, science will be able to sustain and recreate joy for the living.
00:57:02And when people know that a worn out or defective part of their body can be replaced,
00:57:07they'll approach life itself with a great deal less fear.
00:57:11Three thousand years of research.
00:57:13Fear.
00:57:14And we're just beginning.
00:57:17This is the next major step, and he's the key part of it.
00:57:20If it had to happen, I thank God we found you.
00:57:27Gil, whose hands are they?
00:57:29We don't know yet, but they're strong, normal hands.
00:57:32They might be hands from someone even more talented than Werner.
00:57:35But they could be from someone.
00:57:37Don't let fear drive you into a pit of superstition.
00:57:40But are we sure the soul really controls the outside?
00:57:44Or is what we call a soul really shaped by our own pleasures or hatreds with the outside?
00:57:50And how they're accepted by the world?
00:57:52If you love beauty, you conquer handicaps so beauty can live.
00:57:57And if you don't?
00:58:01Well, mister, how did you like it?
00:58:03Yes.
00:58:05You played very well.
00:58:06You mean it?
00:58:08You could be good.
00:58:09Very good if you practice.
00:58:11Did you practice a lot when you were a kid?
00:58:13Yes, I practiced a lot when I was like you.
00:58:20But I can't remember many things about being ten years old.
00:58:27Yes.
00:58:29Yes, I can.
00:58:32Are you still any good?
00:58:35I don't know.
00:58:37Come on and try.
00:58:42I want to hear you play now.
00:58:45First, you've got to take your gloves off.
00:58:48You ever heard of playing the piano with their gloves on?
00:58:52I can't take them off.
00:58:53Sure you can.
00:58:54You put them on, didn't you?
00:58:55I can't take them off.
00:58:56I can't take them off.
00:59:16Gee, mister, you've got strong hands.
00:59:21Maybe someday I'll have hands like that.
00:59:23So I can play a lot easier.
00:59:28Come on.
00:59:53Gee, mister, it must have been a long time because you sure can't play now.
01:00:03How can you play the piano if you can't even hit the chords?
01:00:07Don't say that.
01:00:08I can play.
01:00:08I will play again.
01:00:09Music is my life.
01:00:10You must have said I can't play.
01:00:11I will play again.
01:00:12I've never known anything else.
01:00:26That's why I'll play again.
01:00:29I must play again.
01:00:31You see that, don't you?
01:00:38Gee.
01:00:39I'm home, Gee.
01:00:40Easy, boy, easy.
01:01:03I know it's strange.
01:01:04You'll get used to it.
01:01:05Skeet, where are you?
01:01:16Skeet, where are you?
01:01:16I know it's strange.
01:01:17I know it's strange.
01:01:18I know it's strange.
01:01:19I know it's strange.
01:01:20I know it's strange.
01:01:21I know it's strange.
01:01:22I know it's strange.
01:01:23I know it's strange.
01:01:24I know it's strange.
01:01:25I know it's strange.
01:01:26I know it's strange.
01:01:27I know it's strange.
01:01:28I know it's strange.
01:01:29I know it's strange.
01:01:30I know it's strange.
01:01:31I know it's strange.
01:01:32I know it's strange.
01:01:33I know it's strange.
01:01:34I know it's strange.
01:01:35I know it's strange.
01:01:36I know it's strange.
01:01:37I know it's strange.
01:01:38I know it's strange.
01:01:39I know it's strange.
01:01:40I know it's strange.
01:01:41I know it's strange.
01:01:42I know it's strange.
01:01:43Well, this time, I don't think we'll have to be as critical.
01:02:13You can open.
01:02:35It's working, Vernon.
01:02:39It's all working.
01:02:41Should I say congratulations again, Doctor?
01:02:44To yourself, to your patients.
01:02:46Every finger response was correct.
01:02:48The timing was a little slow, but with this much progress this soon,
01:02:51there's no reason why full dexterity can't return.
01:02:54All you need now is a strong incentive.
01:02:58That's something you've had for a long time.
01:03:02Yes, Doctor. I think I'll enlarge on your exercises.
01:03:06To include the piano.
01:03:08Congratulations.
01:03:11It's wonderful, Mr. Parris.
01:03:12Ouch!
01:03:13I want you and Dina to have dinner with me tonight.
01:03:16Go someplace where we can laugh for a change.
01:03:17How about it?
01:03:18It's time to see again what the outside world and smiling faces look like.
01:03:25How about it?
01:03:26How about it?
01:03:27How about it?
01:03:31How about it?
01:03:32How about it?
01:03:33How about it?
01:03:34How about it?
01:03:35How about it?
01:03:36It's time to see again what the outside world and smiling faces look like.
01:03:40How about it?
01:03:45And we'll be right back.
01:04:12The End
01:04:42The End
01:05:12Yes, sir, a beautiful throw, a beautiful throw.
01:05:23Here's a smiling little doll to take home with you to remind you of your shining hour.
01:05:29You take that thing home and you're going to be the one that has to dust it.
01:05:35Test this game of skill.
01:05:37Win yourself a beautiful prize or a tryout with the L.A. Dodgers.
01:05:42Well, a warm-up pitch.
01:06:04Only a warm-up pitch.
01:06:05Even the greatest need that.
01:06:07Try again.
01:06:22Hey, what are you?
01:06:23Some kind of a nut making fun?
01:06:24That'll be 20 bucks, buddy.
01:06:26I'm sorry.
01:06:27Forget the sorry.
01:06:28It's a 20 bucks, buddy.
01:06:29And if you don't know how to use your hands, stay away from me, Ed.
01:06:32Thanks.
01:06:36I'm going to call a cop.
01:06:37Okay, wait a minute.
01:06:39Here's more than enough to take care of the damage.
01:06:42All right.
01:06:43But I'm still going to call a cop.
01:06:44That guy is some kind of a nut.
01:06:46Look, here's some more.
01:06:47Please forget it.
01:06:48He's a patient of mine.
01:06:49He's been through quite enough as it is.
01:06:51Give him a break.
01:06:52Okay.
01:06:54Okay.
01:06:56But if you can't handle him, buddy, we've got a place right down the street that specializes
01:07:00in freaks.
01:07:00I'm still going to call a cop.
01:07:30Vernon, you know how proud I am of you.
01:07:38The new attitude you've had since Gil returned.
01:07:41Are you?
01:07:42Very.
01:07:43Remember the night the three of us went out together?
01:07:45I remember.
01:07:47It started then, didn't it?
01:07:49I think it started a long time before that.
01:07:51Gil's proud of you, too.
01:07:53I told him you've been practicing every day since then.
01:07:56You don't know how important it is to him that he used his skill to bring you a new life.
01:08:00Yes.
01:08:01They all brought me a new life.
01:08:03And for me.
01:08:05I think you know how I've come to feel about Gil.
01:08:09I want you to be happy for that, too.
01:08:13I'm very glad that you've come to mean so much to each other.
01:08:15Why won't you let me stay all night since you practice?
01:08:22You know me at my best.
01:08:23I want you to hear me that way the next time.
01:08:26Besides, you haven't regretted all the time you've been able to spend with him, have you?
01:08:31All right.
01:08:32I'll wait.
01:08:33What time are you going to be back tonight?
01:08:35Eleven or twelve.
01:08:36Just dinner and a conversation.
01:08:38Have a good time.
01:09:09Hey, don't you want to marry me?
01:09:19Yeah.
01:09:20Yeah.
01:09:22When?
01:09:24A year or so, maybe.
01:09:28I can't ask you to live on what I'm making now.
01:09:31I can't even live on it.
01:09:32I wouldn't mind working.
01:09:34I've done it before.
01:09:35We might have to if we get married in a year or so.
01:09:39Then why not now?
01:09:43It's just too rough.
01:09:44You're too intent on your work.
01:09:46I admit it.
01:09:46It's the future, Sue, and I've got a chance to be a part of something wonderful.
01:09:55I guess I'm selfish because I want it to be the right kind of future.
01:10:01For my work and for us.
01:10:06Don't you understand?
01:10:07You know I do.
01:10:08It's just that I wish there could be more time for us.
01:10:10I'm not going to stop loving you, Ken.
01:10:18It's just that the nights get lonely out.
01:10:20It's just that.
01:11:54Gil Cannon?
01:11:55It must be a record.
01:11:57He never bought any of his own records.
01:11:58He was always afraid of becoming a mechanical copy of himself.
01:12:01I know his style so well.
01:12:04I don't know.
01:12:05Maybe possible.
01:12:06He's really been practicing and exercising the way you said.
01:12:10It's one of his more simple pieces.
01:12:12Gil.
01:12:13Gil, it must be.
01:12:14Oh, Vernon, was that you playing?
01:12:26Oh, I'm sorry you heard.
01:12:27I wanted it to be when I was a little better.
01:12:29Oh, it sounded wonderful.
01:12:31Well, it's the only one I've worked on and it's taken me all these weeks.
01:12:33What does the man who made it all possible have to say?
01:12:38I'm surprised.
01:12:40Well, you told me yourself there was no reason why it shouldn't happen.
01:12:42With exercise, practice.
01:12:44Yes, I know.
01:12:46But I didn't expect this much dexterity this soon.
01:12:49Not even when the incentive, the desire to create beauty is strong enough?
01:12:52You did your work well, Doctor.
01:12:55Now I'm doing mine.
01:12:57If it's true, there's no one outside you two who could be happier than I am.
01:13:01Then smile, Doctor.
01:13:03Get rid of that troubled questioning look.
01:13:05Help us rejoice in the success of our mutual triumph.
01:13:08I know what I have to do now.
01:13:10Please play for us.
01:13:13It's been very hard to get this far.
01:13:14And I think even the Doctor will tell you that it's natural to expect fatigue to set in easily.
01:13:20Make it soon.
01:13:22It will be.
01:13:24Understand one thing.
01:13:27I want to believe.
01:13:28Then do it, Doctor.
01:13:30Do it because you too have the incentive.
01:13:33Gil.
01:13:52Well, I'm sorry.
01:13:57I didn't know he was a close associate of yours.
01:13:59Did you know the girl, Tim?
01:14:02Tragedies of this kind are always senseless, but I'm afraid I have to press you about the significance behind it.
01:14:08How can there be any significance to waste?
01:14:10Some time ago, I read a routine report about a death that occurred in the suburbs.
01:14:15A man came home and found his son dead.
01:14:18Apparently as the result of a burglar who was discovered and panicked.
01:14:21The unusual thing was that most of the boy's fingers were broken.
01:14:27Possibly it was the result of a fight.
01:14:29Except that the fingers were all squeezed together as if they'd been crushed.
01:14:32The man was an ex-cab driver named Wilder.
01:14:37Will you raise the sheet farther this time and look at your friend's hands?
01:14:40I'm sorry.
01:15:10The same thing in common.
01:15:11The human hand.
01:15:13The same thing that brought us together, Doctor.
01:15:15It's ridiculous to assume that...
01:15:16Is it?
01:15:17Perhaps.
01:15:18If anybody else but your friend had been involved.
01:15:20This is the kind of coincidence that forces me to become less patient.
01:15:25I think I know now what's happened.
01:15:27If I'm correct, it's an amazing piece of surgery, Doctor.
01:15:34Under the circumstances, I must insist you meet me at my office within a half hour.
01:15:40I hope I'm wrong.
01:15:43I hope this is pure coincidence.
01:15:46Otherwise, it means you failed to control an experiment that could have been of great value.
01:15:51Regardless.
01:15:53Both of our objectives are the same.
01:15:55I think you know why I wanted you to be the first to hear me play.
01:16:01Vernon, I've never been so happy.
01:16:03You won't mind if it's the same piece?
01:16:05I wouldn't care if it was the scale of C in one octave.
01:16:08Just to know you won't play again.
01:16:10Even though I can play, I'm still nervous about...
01:16:12About these hands.
01:16:15It takes all my concentration.
01:16:17Would you mind sitting in the other room just this once?
01:16:19I'd listen to you from the other end of the world if it would help make you great again.
01:16:22Dina.
01:16:24I want you to remember just one thing.
01:16:27Tonight I'll play my greatest concert.
01:16:29I need you to help make it complete.
01:16:32I'll remember.
01:16:33I'll remember.
01:16:33I'll be right back.
01:17:04Destroy the very thing I created?
01:17:05Help him.
01:17:06Any jury will call it insanity.
01:17:08With proper treatment, he can be brought back.
01:17:10And Ken?
01:17:12And I?
01:17:13Bill, I was almost as close to Ken as you were.
01:17:15But even his sacrifice can't stop our work.
01:17:18It mustn't.
01:17:18How stupid I was.
01:17:21What he said about incendium.
01:17:23Oh yes, he had one all right.
01:17:25Vengeance on everyone he thought destroyed his ability to create music.
01:17:30The driver.
01:17:31Ken.
01:17:33I think we can take care of ourselves.
01:17:36Dina.
01:17:37She's with him.
01:17:38He won't hurt her.
01:17:39She's on his side.
01:17:40We're the enemies.
01:17:41With a maniac as shrewd as he's become, I won't take that chance.
01:17:44I'm coming to him.
01:17:45No, you're involved enough.
01:17:46Go home to your security.
01:17:47Try to figure out why it's so hard to find for men like me.
01:17:50And don't make the same mistakes.
01:17:52Help!
01:17:52Help!
01:17:53Help!
01:17:56Are you sure about this?
01:18:12It must be.
01:18:14He made a special point about it.
01:18:15Tonight I'll play my greatest concert.
01:18:17Dina, I...
01:18:20Oh, I don't blame you, Gil.
01:18:22How can you blame anybody for this?
01:18:25I just feel numb for all the loneliness and misery he must be feeling inside.
01:18:29I don't blame anybody for this.
01:18:33Thank you for remembering what I said.
01:19:03I was sure I could depend on the audience.
01:19:06A very important part of the concert.
01:19:08Yes, I'm going to play for you, Doctor.
01:19:12I'm used to a great deal of applause after my concerts.
01:19:16And what could be more desirable than applause from the man who made it all possible?
01:19:19There were others almost as much a part of it as you who should be here.
01:19:23But I don't think we'd find their applause very enthusiastic now.
01:19:28I did manage to convince one of them, though.
01:19:32We had a long chat on the way down here.
01:19:40Turns out he was very partial to music and my future ability.
01:19:44The only trouble was he didn't mean it.
01:19:47He was only trying to trick me.
01:19:49Why, Vernon?
01:19:51It was only a matter of time before you would have played again.
01:19:54Time.
01:19:55Time to cut off these hands and give me others.
01:19:57And others if those don't work.
01:19:58Yes, the doctor has all the time he needs in his laboratory.
01:20:01He can do anything.
01:20:02Except give me back my life.
01:20:04He tried to save that life.
01:20:05He failed.
01:20:06How do you know yet?
01:20:08Shall I show you?
01:20:10It's too soon.
01:20:11I said I was going to play for you.
01:20:13I am.
01:20:14Now.
01:20:18I want you beside me, Dina, because you were always there in the past.
01:20:21You can't go out there.
01:20:23He still needed me.
01:20:24It's a trick.
01:20:25I might be able to humor him.
01:20:27Still save him.
01:20:28I've got to.
01:20:29It's too much of a chance.
01:20:30You can't do it.
01:20:31Then take a gun and go out there and shoot him now.
01:20:53Listen.
01:20:54Behold the wonders of medical science and your kind doctor.
01:21:13Your triumph, doctor.
01:21:15And now mine.
01:21:24Let her go.
01:21:35Go on back.
01:21:36We'll be all right.
01:21:44The talented Dr. Hardy.
01:21:46Still in charge.
01:21:47You're right about one thing.
01:21:49I'm not responsible for the loss of your hands.
01:21:53But I am for this.
01:21:57Like your friend, you imagine yourself a clever psychologist.
01:22:00It won't work, doctor.
01:22:02You're interested in nothing but vengeance?
01:22:04Beauty is no longer important to you.
01:22:06On the contrary.
01:22:07Justice is a form of moral beauty.
01:22:09Or is that too unscientific?
01:22:11I did everything I could, surgically.
01:22:13And your bodies accepted it.
01:22:17Beyond that, I know I failed you.
01:22:20Your mind couldn't accept.
01:22:22That's very beautiful.
01:22:25What a shame it's only meant to throw me off guard.
01:22:28What do you want?
01:22:29I want you to take another look at your work.
01:22:31Just for this moment, I want to share this triumph with you.
01:22:34I can do it.
01:22:51Oh, my God.
01:23:21Have you found out whose hands they are?
01:23:49Not yet.
01:23:51Does it make any difference?
01:23:56I think you know we'll have to talk some more.
01:24:00And maybe you'll be able to tell me if we have the right to push ahead so fast.
01:24:05Even when you believe.
01:24:10And then like you, who aren't afraid to grow.
01:24:14They'll always be the right.
01:24:15You'll be the right.
