00:06:59The End
00:07:29The End
00:07:59These are wasps
00:08:00Wasps?
00:08:02Who's responsible for this?
00:08:04Most likely Dr. Zinthrop, sir. I told you it was a crackpot.
00:08:08Zinthrop, huh?
00:08:10Zinthrop.
00:08:29Zinthrop, Zinthrop, what's all this nonsense about wasps?
00:08:42Zinthrop, what's all this nonsense about wasps?
00:08:56I'm so glad you're so glad you're in a man, sir?
00:08:58You're so glad you're in the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the day, sir? I'm so glad you dropped it, Mr. Varker.
00:09:00I'm on the verge of a great discovery.
00:09:02Discovery? What do you mean?
00:09:04Well, sir, I almost perfected a new method of extracting royal jelly from the Queen Wasps.
00:09:11According to my figures, you're better at extracting funds from the company. Now look here, Zinthrop, over a thousand dollars last month for miscellaneous.
00:09:19Yes, yes, I know. But, Mr. Varker, let me just show you something. Just let me show you something. Already, I've learned to slow the process of aging. Soon, I shall be able to reverse it entirely.
00:09:35What are you getting at, Zinthrop?
00:09:39Look, what do you see?
00:09:42I see a big dog and a little dog.
00:09:45Let's see an old dog and a young dog.
00:09:48All right. So what?
00:09:51Well, they're exactly the same age.
00:09:54You see, the little one, Greta, has been given regular injections of my compound from the Queen Wasp.
00:10:02Just like I told you, Mr. Varker.
00:10:06Now look here, Zinthrop.
00:10:08I understand about science and progress and all that, but you were obtained to extract Queen Bee Royal Jelly.
00:10:15No, it's a health food, a cosmetic.
00:10:19It's not a miracle drug or an elixir of youth.
00:10:22That sort of thing is impossible.
00:10:23Oh, but Mr. Varker just said...
00:10:24Zinthrop, I'm sorry, Zinthrop, but I'm going to have to let you go.
00:10:31You just don't seem to be one of the team.
00:10:35You understand.
00:10:36Good luck.
00:10:37I'm sure you'll fit in somewhere.
00:10:39Oh, now, now, don't worry, my friend.
00:11:03We shall find a home somehow, somewhere.
00:11:08Oh, but you're sounding fish.
00:11:11I know.
00:11:12It's your bigs, huh?
00:11:13They're hungry and they must be fed.
00:11:17Now, how would you like a nice, juicy little catapult, huh?
00:11:22You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:11:24There.
00:11:24Now, you must eat them.
00:11:28Be strong because, well, we have a lot of work to do together.
00:11:33Yes, sir.
00:11:36A lot of work.
00:11:37As you can see, gentlemen, sales for the last fiscal quarter have dropped 14.5%.
00:12:01There has not been a corresponding drop in our competitor sales.
00:12:05I trust one of you, gentlemen, has a satisfactory explanation for this decline.
00:12:16Not one little suggestion, gentlemen.
00:12:19We'll start with you, Thompson.
00:12:22As public relations manager, no doubt you have some faint glimmering of what's happening to Stalin products.
00:12:28Well, Thompson?
00:12:30Well, you see, I, uh...
00:12:32I had no idea you were such an excellent public speaker, Thompson.
00:12:34Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Starlin.
00:12:35I guess I'm not feeling very well this morning.
00:12:38I'm sorry you aren't.
00:12:40I think I can tell you why Stalin products are falling off so badly, Miss Starlin.
00:12:45We're listening, Lane.
00:12:47Where would you put the responsibility for this decline?
00:12:51On you, Miss Starlin.
00:12:52I imagine you have arguments to support that contention.
00:13:00We've all been looking at it for the past 20 minutes.
00:13:03The most convincing argument is right on that graph.
00:13:08May I show you?
00:13:14Now, right here in April is when Stalin's sales started falling off.
00:13:18Very clever of you, Lane.
00:13:22Would you mind waiting until I finish, Miss Starlin?
00:13:24That's enough, Lane.
00:13:26Relax, Willis.
00:13:28My apologies for the interruption.
00:13:30Go on.
00:13:33Now, as I said, sales began to fall in April.
00:13:36But the reason for the fall was back here in February.
00:13:41Starlin products have always been thought of as something of a modern miracle in the cosmetics trade.
00:13:46A firm built to a multi-million dollar a year business on the strength and appeal of one person, Janice Starlin.
00:13:54From the beginning right through until February of this year, only one woman's face was used to advertise those products.
00:14:01Your face, Miss Starlin.
00:14:03The public have come to accept you as a symbol.
00:14:07Well, now, after 16 years, they see a different face.
00:14:10They don't trust it.
00:14:12They feel cheated.
00:14:13The simple fact is that Starlin Cosmetics should have Janice Starlin's picture advertising them.
00:14:20Well, that's about all I've got to say.
00:14:24And a darn good job of saying it, too.
00:14:26I agree.
00:14:27Lane makes a lot of sense on that score, Miss Starlin.
00:14:29I think I've had enough flattery for one morning, gentlemen.
00:14:33It was a very convincing argument, Lane.
00:14:38There's a Mr. Zinthrop to see Miss Starlin.
00:14:40There's only one small factor you've overlooked.
00:14:43Not even Janice Starlin can remain a glamour girl forever.
00:14:48Miss Starlin.
00:14:49Yes, Mary.
00:14:50There's a Mr. Zinthrop in reception.
00:14:52He says he has an appointment.
00:14:57Well, this has been a very informative get-together.
00:15:00That'll be all for now.
00:15:03Oh, Arthur.
00:15:13Yes, Miss Starlin.
00:15:14I'd like to see you in my office, please.
00:15:17Sure, Miss Starlin.
00:15:19Take it easy, hotshot.
00:15:26Something on your mind, Miss Starlin?
00:15:29You've done some work on royal jelly, haven't you?
00:15:32A little.
00:15:33Are there any real therapeutic values in it?
00:15:38I'd say so.
00:15:39Of course, a lot depends on each individual's reaction to the stuff.
00:15:43What do you mean?
00:15:45It's just that no two people react in precisely the same way.
00:15:50One man's meat's another man's poison.
00:15:52Oh, but you think royal jelly can be beneficial in some cases.
00:16:00Queen Bee said a lot of store by it.
00:16:01I'll accept that.
00:16:02I'll accept that as an affirmative answer.
00:16:06Supposing a more powerful form of royal jelly could be obtained from the queen wasp, for example.
00:16:14I mean, do you suppose that might have some rejuvenating effect on a human being?
00:16:20I'd stay away from wasps if I were you, Miss Starlin.
00:16:23Socially, the queen wasp is on a level with a black widow spider.
00:16:27They're both carnivorous.
00:16:29They paralyze their victims and then take their time devouring them alive.
00:16:33They kill their mates in the same way, too.
00:16:36Strictly a one-sided romance.
00:16:38Well, I'm not exactly interested in the love life of the queen wasp.
00:16:49I want your opinion on the possibilities of using enzyme extracts from royal wasp jelly.
00:16:56Commercially.
00:16:57Well, if you want an honest opinion, Miss Starlin.
00:17:00Of course I want an honest opinion.
00:17:02Then my advice is forget about it.
00:17:08Thank you, Arthur.
00:17:10Anytime, Miss Starlin.
00:17:22Have Mr. Zinthrop come in?
00:17:23Yes, Miss Starlin.
00:17:25Uh, you can go in now, sir.
00:17:27Oh.
00:17:28Well, come.
00:17:33Janice Starlin Enterprises.
00:17:38Miss Starlin?
00:17:41Yes.
00:17:42How do you do?
00:17:43I'm afraid I won't be able to give you much time, Mr. Zinthrop.
00:17:47But it is I who give you the time, Miss Starlin.
00:17:50Oh, yes.
00:17:51Plenty of time I give you.
00:17:52Ten, maybe fifteen years I give you.
00:17:58I want you to understand one thing very clearly, Mr. Zinthrop.
00:18:01I expect absolute proof of what you've claimed in your letter.
00:18:06Tangible proof, not words.
00:18:08Such proof you shall get, madame.
00:18:11And more.
00:18:13But I think I'd better show you in the laboratory, yes?
00:18:18All right.
00:18:20Come on.
00:18:20Come on.
00:18:21Look.
00:18:22They look terrible.
00:18:35Why don't you put them out of their misery?
00:18:36Madame, you ask for proof.
00:18:38Please be kind enough to look at proof you ask for.
00:18:41May I proceed?
00:18:52Come, come, come, come, little circuitous machine.
00:19:16In a few minutes, madame, you shall see a miracle you shall not believe.
00:19:20Oh, no tricks.
00:19:23You may look if you like.
00:19:25I have no tricks.
00:19:27Well, don't look at me.
00:19:29I'm not changing.
00:19:50I don't believe it.
00:19:53It's not possible.
00:19:57I see you do not believe one animal, so I bring two.
00:20:03I, uh, I show you again, yes?
00:20:06Yes, I must be sure.
00:20:08Yes, madame.
00:20:09Yes, madame.
00:20:09Yes, madame.
00:20:28Well, Miss, darling, does my, uh, secret have interest for you yet?
00:20:29Well, Miss Darling, does my, uh, secret have interest for you, yes?
00:20:40What are your terms, Mr. Zinthrop?
00:20:43First, I must have a laboratory. It will fit everything I need for my research.
00:20:48If we're successful, well, I ask for a little percentage.
00:20:52But I must get full credit for my discovery that is most important to me.
00:20:57I'll have Gordon draw out the contracts.
00:21:00Oh, contracts, contracts, I do not need to give me your word. Good enough for me.
00:21:09You amaze me. Frankly, when I received your letter, I thought you were just a, another eccentric.
00:21:16But there was always a chance you might not be.
00:21:18Then you walk in here and show me nothing short of a miracle. Two miracles.
00:21:23And you say that you'll accept my word that I won't cheat you.
00:21:26You won't. I know you're a good woman, even if you do not like other people to know it.
00:21:33However, uh, my formula may not be good for human beings. I have not tested yet.
00:21:41You will on me.
00:21:43Oh, no, no, no, no. There might be danger.
00:21:46Those are my terms, Mr. Zinthrop.
00:21:48Janice Starlin will be your next guinea pig.
00:21:53Very well.
00:21:54Though it may take a little time to prepare sufficient extract.
00:21:57A week, maybe more.
00:21:59I'll make whatever arrangements you may need for your equipment.
00:22:02Thank you, madame.
00:22:04Now I see how you've built all this.
00:22:07I'm very close to losing it, Mr. Zinthrop.
00:22:12Maybe working together we can save Janice Starlin Enterprises.
00:22:18Maybe even make it bigger than ever before.
00:22:20Yes.
00:22:22Oh, yes.
00:22:23I'm sure the next three months we'll see a rise in Starlin sales that will surpass anything we've dared imagine.
00:22:33Mr. Zinthrop is working on the final stages of the development that will revolutionize the cosmetic industry.
00:22:41He's to have a free hand in his experiments and will be answerable to no one but myself.
00:22:46At the moment, I cannot divulge the nature of Mr. Zinthrop's experiments, but I can assure you, it will bring worldwide recognition to Janice Starlin Enterprises.
00:23:16I don't know. This Zinthrop must be the granddaddy of all confidence men to take in a gal like Starlin.
00:23:35Why doesn't somebody wise her up?
00:23:39Like you, for instance?
00:23:40Bill, what makes you think Zinthrop really isn't on the level?
00:23:46After all, we don't even know what he's working on. It could be very legitimate.
00:23:50You're as bad as she is.
00:23:53Oh, women.
00:23:57Men.
00:23:59Every time you're stuck to an answer, you always come up with women.
00:24:04You're not getting out of this one so easily.
00:24:06I'd like to know why you think Zinthrop really hasn't got something.
00:24:11Well, you can call it male intuition if you like.
00:24:14It's just that there's something about this whole business that doesn't smell right.
00:24:17The private laboratory. The secret experiments. Zinthrop himself.
00:24:22The only thing that's missing is a genie with a lamp.
00:24:26You'd better leave the intuition to me.
00:24:29Come on. I'll let you buy me dinner.
00:24:32Buy you dinner?
00:24:33What's happened to your sporting blood? I thought we were going to toss for the check.
00:24:38Oh, no. You won the last three times.
00:24:41All right. Look, I'll make a deal with you.
00:24:44Dinner is on me if you promise to keep an eye on what goes on in there.
00:24:48Well, what do you want me to do? Read her mail and send you messages and keep your code?
00:24:53You could do worse.
00:24:55Oh, no, Mr. Cooper. Not you, too.
00:24:58I've been trying to tell Bright Eyes here that I think Zinthrop is a phony and a confidence man.
00:25:01If I were sure of that, I wouldn't be worried. I think he's a lot more dangerous. A quack.
00:25:07Well, I don't follow you, Coop.
00:25:09Well, a confidence man would just be interested in your money.
00:25:12The only damage they can do is to your pocketbook. A quack can be fatal.
00:25:16So I says to him, I says, listen, I think, I'm getting sick of this TV every night. I mean, you know, we can do the same thing in a nightclub.
00:25:31Well, almost.
00:25:34Good morning.
00:25:35Janice Starlin, Enterprises.
00:25:40I got two words for you. Drop dead. Twice.
00:25:46Irving?
00:25:47Calls me to tell me Dr. Cyclops is on Channel Nine tonight.
00:25:54What crust?
00:25:55I've seen it twice already.
00:26:00Good morning.
00:26:05Is, uh, is Miss Starlin in her office now?
00:26:08Miss Starlin's in conference. Would you like to speak to her secretary?
00:26:12Oh, no, no, no. Just say to Miss Starlin, I should like to see her when she has time, huh?
00:26:17Yes, sir.
00:26:23Was there something else, Mr. Zinthro?
00:26:25No, no, no, no. Goodbye.
00:26:31Goodbye.
00:26:32Goodbye.
00:26:43What a character. A regular two-eyed Dr. Cyclops.
00:26:47Even the bow.
00:26:49Good morning. May I see Miss Zardling, please?
00:26:53He's a real weirdy.
00:26:55I wonder what his game is.
00:26:56Who cares?
00:26:57You know, Morton thinks he's a crackpot.
00:26:59I heard him telling Cooper so.
00:27:02Old Bug Eyes really has the execs worried.
00:27:05About what?
00:27:06That's just it. They don't know.
00:27:08Oh.
00:27:09So, anyway, back to Irving.
00:27:28Good morning, Miss Zardling. Good morning.
00:27:30Good morning.
00:27:31I couldn't get away any sooner. Is it important?
00:27:34Miss Zardling, do you remember the big cat I showed you last week?
00:27:39No.
00:27:41What about it?
00:27:43Well, I want you to look at him. Come.
00:27:53No.
00:27:54Quite the difference, yes?
00:27:56Oh!
00:27:58That's incredible.
00:28:01The same mark.
00:28:03It's a cat.
00:28:05You're young again.
00:28:06Can you realize what that means?
00:28:09You're a kitten again.
00:28:11Your whole life to live over.
00:28:13How does it feel?
00:28:15I think perhaps you'll be able to find out for yourself, Miss Zardling.
00:28:19Good morning, darling.
00:28:21Today...
00:28:23Today will be your first injection.
00:28:27Come.
00:28:43It's a doctor.
00:28:49I'm sorry, Miss Zardling.
00:28:50Come, everybody.
00:28:51Here you go.
00:28:52You guys are watching.
00:28:56You guys are there?
00:28:58You guys are so nervous.
00:29:01I'm so nervous.
00:29:02It's a doctor.
00:29:03You have to know him right now.
00:29:04You have to know him.
00:29:05I'm very welcome.
00:29:06I'm very beautiful, Miss Zardling.
00:29:08I'm sorry.
00:29:10I'm very nervous.
00:29:12I'm not sure you're so nervous.
00:29:13I'm so nervous.
00:29:14I'm so nervous.
00:29:15I'm so nervous.
00:29:16Mr. Gleeson of accounting on line three.
00:29:31What is it, Gleeson?
00:29:34I sent you a memo.
00:29:36Mr. Zinthrop has carte blanche to order anything he requires.
00:29:40It is no concern of yours, Gleeson.
00:29:42Make out a check for the full amount.
00:29:46What is it, Gleeson?
00:29:50Sue?
00:29:51Mary.
00:29:53Can I talk to Mr. Lanham?
00:30:00Bill?
00:30:01Hey, listen.
00:30:02Gleeson just got a bill for $2,300.
00:30:07Zinthrop...
00:30:11Enzyme extracts.
00:30:16Yes, yes, yes. We are making progress. There's great improvement in the tissue.
00:30:32Why is it taking so long?
00:30:35It's the third week.
00:30:37You forget, my dear, there's more to you than a little kitten, huh?
00:30:42Besides, there's a difference in metabolism.
00:30:45Why not increase the dosage?
00:30:48Wouldn't that step up the process?
00:30:50Patience, my dear, patience.
00:30:51You must tread lightly, with care, your arm, please.
00:30:55There.
00:30:56You know, I've been experimenting with the concentrate solution of the enzymes.
00:31:02Oh, a great deal more powerful than the solution I've been using in your injection.
00:31:03Oh?
00:31:04Yes.
00:31:05And I think...
00:31:06I think it will be better for lotions.
00:31:07It's an emollient lotion.
00:31:08It'll make estrogenic creams and all such products, old-fashioned.
00:31:10My dear, Stalin will be world-famous.
00:31:13You know, I've been experimenting with the concentrate solution of the enzymes.
00:31:19Oh, a great deal more powerful than the solution I've been using in your injection.
00:31:24Oh?
00:31:25Yes.
00:31:27And I think...
00:31:29I think it will be better for lotions.
00:31:30It's an emollient lotion.
00:31:31It'll make estrogenic creams and all such products, old-fashioned.
00:31:34My dear, Stalin will be world-famous, bringing you to millions.
00:31:41If you're right, Zinthrop, there are going to be a few red faces in my advertising department.
00:31:48But I am right.
00:31:49Why, your own mirror will tell you that I am right.
00:31:52Why, you look at least five years younger than you looked three weeks ago.
00:31:56I know.
00:32:04Why?
00:32:05Why, why, why, why?
00:32:06Why, why on earth
00:32:34Will you let me talk to Bill a minute, Sue?
00:32:42Thanks.
00:32:45Bill, I think I've got it.
00:32:48Yeah, I'm a nervous wreck.
00:32:51Lunch, lunch.
00:32:53You'll have to translate for me, Coop.
00:32:55I'm not very good at that technical stuff.
00:32:58Pseudo-technical.
00:33:00Mr. Zinthrop is a very capable confidence man,
00:33:02from what I read in his letter.
00:33:04He claims he can stimulate the processes of rejuvenation
00:33:07through the use of enzymes extracted from wasps.
00:33:11Oh, for...
00:33:12Well, what are you two Sherlock's going to do about it?
00:33:17Right now, I don't know.
00:33:18Frankly, I'm getting tired of the whole business.
00:33:20That woman's so intent on holding back time,
00:33:22she's ready to fall for the first phony line she hears.
00:33:24Wasps.
00:33:25Bill.
00:33:26Face the facts, Mary.
00:33:28Janice Starland has built her whole life on youth and beauty.
00:33:31Now that she's losing them, she's scared to death.
00:33:33Well, right now she's on cloud nine with that quacked Zinthrop,
00:33:36but I'd hate to be around when she comes back down to Earth.
00:33:39Well, maybe we can let her down easy.
00:33:41I think we owe her that much.
00:33:42Yeah.
00:33:44What are we going to do?
00:33:45We can't just let Zinthrop build up her hopes
00:33:47and then knock the props out from under her.
00:33:49How can he do such a terrible thing?
00:33:52Poor Jan.
00:33:54There must be something we can do before it's too late.
00:33:58He's got a mighty convincing argument.
00:34:00Very impressive to the layman.
00:34:02Ten to one, he's got a record just as impressive.
00:34:05There are ways to find out.
00:34:07The answer might be right here in our hands.
00:34:09Kids.
00:34:11Kids.
00:34:15I'm going to keep this letter for a day or two.
00:34:18Wait a minute.
00:34:19Suppose she finds out it's gone.
00:34:20I'm the only one with access to that desk.
00:34:22She'll know I took it.
00:34:23Well, it's a chance you have to take, Mary.
00:34:25I think we can be pretty sure that Coop knows what he's doing, honey.
00:34:29Well, come on, young lovers.
00:34:30Come on, young lovers.
00:35:00Come on, young lovers.
00:35:30Come on, young lovers.
00:35:32Come on, young lovers.
00:38:06It is you, Miss Starlin.
00:38:09Of course it's me.
00:38:11Who did you think it was?
00:38:12You look so different.
00:38:16Finish your nails.
00:38:22Maureen.
00:38:24Hmm?
00:38:24I think your phone is ringing.
00:38:26Oh, yes, Miss Starlin.
00:38:30Good morning.
00:38:32Janice Starlin Enterprises.
00:38:35Gentlemen, Janice Starlin Enterprises is about to start on the most widespread publicity campaign in the history of the cosmetic industry.
00:38:44Our slogan will be, return to youth with Janice Starlin.
00:38:52When Mr. Zinthrop arrives, there will be a press interview and all questions regarding the rejuvenation process will be referred to him.
00:38:58That will be all for now, gentlemen.
00:39:03It's amazing.
00:39:04Why, it's wonderful.
00:39:05Look, Mark.
00:39:06I said that will be all for now, gentlemen.
00:39:09Good morning.
00:39:10Oh, not you, Mary.
00:39:17Wait a moment, please.
00:39:19Yes, Miss Starlin.
00:39:20Mary, isn't it wonderful?
00:39:31It's a miracle.
00:39:33A wonderful, incredible miracle.
00:39:36We were so worried about you.
00:39:38We really thought you were in danger.
00:39:40We even went to plotting how to rescue you from Mr. Zinthrop.
00:39:46It all seems so silly.
00:39:48It seems ridiculous.
00:39:49Oh, Mary.
00:39:51Mary, how old do I look?
00:39:53Tell me.
00:39:55How old?
00:39:56How old do I look?
00:39:57Tell me!
00:39:58How old?
00:40:0323.
00:40:04Maybe 22.
00:40:0612.
00:40:09That's how old I was when I started Janice Starlin Enterprises.
00:40:13Do you realize what that means?
00:40:16I'm back where I started.
00:40:1718 years ago.
00:40:20With what it took 18 years to accomplish.
00:40:24It's like a dream.
00:40:25It's like a dream.
00:40:26It's like a dream.
00:40:27It's like a dream.
00:40:27It's like a dream.
00:40:28It's like a dream.
00:40:28It's like a dream.
00:40:29It's like a dream.
00:40:29It's like a dream.
00:40:30It's like a dream.
00:40:30It's like a dream.
00:40:31It's like a dream.
00:40:31It's like a dream.
00:40:31It's like a dream.
00:40:32It's like a dream.
00:40:32It's like a dream.
00:40:33It's like a dream.
00:40:33It's like a dream.
00:40:34It's like a dream.
00:40:34It's like a dream.
00:40:35It's like a dream.
00:40:35It's like a dream.
00:40:36It's like a dream.
00:40:36It's like a dream.
00:40:37It's like a dream.
00:40:37It's like a dream.
00:40:38It's like a dream.
00:40:39It's like a dream.
00:40:39Let's go.
00:41:09Let's go.
00:41:39Run a breakdown on what he's using.
00:42:09Let's go.
00:42:39Let's go.
00:43:09Let's go.
00:43:39Let's go.
00:43:51Let's go.
00:43:53Mr. Zinthrop!
00:43:55Mr. Zinthrop?
00:44:05Mr. Zinthrop?
00:44:11Mr. Zinthrop!
00:44:17Mr. Zinthrop!
00:44:21Mr. Zinthrop!
00:44:31Mr. Zinthrop!
00:44:33I want you to find him, Mr. Hellman.
00:44:47I want you to find him.
00:44:59I don't care what it costs.
00:45:01We'll find him all right.
00:45:03Sooner or later we find them all.
00:45:05Time is vital, Mr. Hellman.
00:45:09Every hour he's gone, it means more than you can possibly imagine.
00:45:13Well, you haven't given me very much to go on.
00:45:15No home address, no former employer, no phone.
00:45:19This is just like starting from scratch.
00:45:21Mr. Zinthrop wasn't a conventional employee.
00:45:27He didn't go through regular personnel.
00:45:29Uh-huh.
00:45:31You say he came here about a month ago.
00:45:33Well, how did he come here, Miss Starlin?
00:45:35He just didn't walk in off the street, did he?
00:45:37The letter.
00:45:39Right here in my drawer.
00:45:43Maybe, uh, one of the other drawers.
00:45:49So that's what she meant.
00:45:53What who meant?
00:45:59Miss Starlin.
00:46:01The letter's been taken and you think you know who took it, is that right?
00:46:07My secretary, Miss Denison.
00:46:09You got her address handy?
00:46:11Her phone number.
00:46:13It might be better if I busted in on her cold.
00:46:15This way she'll have a chance to prepare a story.
00:46:17I know what I'm doing.
00:46:19All right.
00:46:21Mary?
00:46:23Janice Starlin.
00:46:25Before I went to lunch, I made a duplicate copy of Mr. Zinthrop's letter.
00:46:29I was going to take that one to Bill and Mr. Cooper at first.
00:46:33But then I thought that the original would be better.
00:46:36Have you got the copy?
00:46:38Yes, it's in my desk.
00:46:40Get that copy, Miss Denison.
00:46:43Uh-huh.
00:46:44946 West 73rd Street, Manhattan.
00:46:47Yeah, that's right.
00:46:49Get right on it, Jerry, and check back with me as soon as you can.
00:46:52See we go...
00:46:53Thank you, Tim!
00:46:55I'll get her turn to Mulvore.
00:46:56Come now in on.
00:46:57Give her up.
00:46:59That's it.
00:47:00Miss Denison.
00:47:01We'll try.
00:47:02See you then...
00:47:03..ベans di Us.
00:47:05See you then.
00:47:06Doc where we'll get because now we're ready.
00:47:07Move back together, Jess, and Santa.
00:47:09He started seeing this dead ...
00:49:10Where is he?
00:49:12Central emergency.
00:49:14Mm-hmm.
00:49:15Right.
00:49:16Well, it looks like we've got him.
00:49:18There's a John Doe down at Central Emergency, auto accident.
00:49:21There's no identification on him, but he was wearing a lab smock and Phil Zinthrop's description.
00:49:25Mary, get my coat in.
00:49:27Lane, get a cab downstairs.
00:49:29Is he badly hurt?
00:49:31Head injury, general contusions of the body.
00:49:35He's had a severe injury and there's definite brain damage.
00:49:41Just how much we can't tell as yet.
00:49:43How long before you'll know?
00:49:45It's hard to say, Miss Starlin.
00:49:47Who's the best man for this kind of injury?
00:49:51Well, there are several top specialists.
00:49:53Get the best.
00:49:54I'll take full responsibility for the expenses.
00:49:57Yes, Miss Starlin.
00:49:59I don't know, Arthur.
00:50:11I think it best we wait.
00:50:13But it's been three days since the accident, Jan.
00:50:16And no sign of improvement.
00:50:17He's still in a coma.
00:50:19You heard what the doctor said.
00:50:20He may never regain consciousness.
00:50:22And even if he does, who knows how badly his brain has been damaged.
00:50:30Well, I'll give it another 48 hours.
00:50:35He doesn't regain consciousness by then.
00:50:38Well, you can take over the laboratory, Arthur.
00:50:41John has...
00:50:42It's my decision.
00:51:11It's incredible.
00:51:24Right in front of our noses.
00:51:26I can't have used it all.
00:51:30I could run a qualitative analysis.
00:51:34I could run a qualitative analysis.
00:52:04You could run a wheel of water.
00:52:07You can try.
00:52:08You could run by half.
00:52:10I could run by half inches.
00:52:11I could run
00:52:15by half inches.
00:52:18What are you かてん standpoint?
00:52:20I could run an internship at that university.
00:52:23I could run aaltet羽ions.
00:52:25You've pushed
00:52:30Oh, my God.
00:53:00Come on, you phony thing.
00:53:08Always goes on a fritz right in the middle of a good program.
00:53:30I want this to be the biggest advertising campaign in the history of cosmetic advertising.
00:53:43Every newspaper and magazine in the country will be flooded with our new slogan,
00:53:48Return to Youth with Janice Darlin.
00:53:50Excuse me, Miss Darlin.
00:53:53What is it, Thompson?
00:53:54I think we should be a little conservative, Miss Darlin.
00:53:57Cosmetics are one thing, medications another.
00:54:01We're liable to run into trouble.
00:54:02Yes.
00:54:05All advertising copy will be cleared through your office.
00:54:08Well, it's a touchy business, you know.
00:54:10Max is right, Miss Darlin.
00:54:11You don't have to second the motion, mate.
00:54:19I want one thing understood very clearly now, gentlemen.
00:54:23Janice Darlin Enterprises
00:54:25is going to bring the most fantastically saleable product
00:54:30ever developed by modern cosmetics to the public.
00:54:35And I don't intend to be restricted by timidity
00:54:37on the part of my own staff.
00:54:40Is that clear?
00:54:45Are you all right, Miss Darlin?
00:54:47It's just a little headache, Mary.
00:54:51I'm fine.
00:54:53Can I get you something?
00:54:54I'm all right.
00:54:55I'm all right.
00:54:56I have some aspirin in my purse.
00:54:59It's all right, Mary.
00:55:03Well, that'll be all for now, gentlemen.
00:55:17Hi.
00:55:24Hi, sweetie.
00:55:26Gee, I sure hope they give the girls working at Starlin
00:55:29the first crack of that new stuff.
00:55:31Imagine being 18 again.
00:55:34I guess if it can take 15 years off Starlin,
00:55:37it can take 10 off you.
00:55:39What do you mean, 10?
00:55:41Face it, honey.
00:55:42This is Maureen you're talking to.
00:55:44Yeah?
00:55:45Well, if I were you, I'd take a double dose.
00:55:48Then maybe Irving wouldn't watch television so much.
00:55:50So who says he looks at it?
00:55:53I can't imagine what else he does.
00:55:55Three guesses.
00:55:58Say, did Cooper come in yet?
00:56:00Mm-mm.
00:56:01Missed a board meeting this morning.
00:56:03I bet Starlin's having a fit.
00:56:05He should worry.
00:56:07See you later.
00:56:08Bye, honey.
00:56:15Hi, pretty puss.
00:56:18You know where, um,
00:56:20Miss Starlin's office is?
00:56:25Sweet number one.
00:56:28La-dee-da.
00:56:29The Duchess of Flatbush herself.
00:56:32Why don't you like to have this phone
00:56:33wrapped around your ear,
00:56:35wise guy?
00:56:36It's more like it, sister.
00:56:37Sweet number one.
00:56:54Miss Starlin.
00:56:56Oh, what is it, Mary?
00:56:58Is there anything I can do?
00:57:00Yes.
00:57:01Is, uh,
00:57:02is Mr. Zinthrop's room ready?
00:57:04Oh, uh-huh.
00:57:05The nurse is fixing
00:57:06the emergency equipment now,
00:57:08and the ambulance is due any minute.
00:57:10Well, be sure to let me know
00:57:11when it arrives.
00:57:13Oh, Mary, please,
00:57:14before you go,
00:57:15could you see if you could
00:57:16work that thing?
00:57:18Oh, sure.
00:57:21I've seen lots of these.
00:57:28Oh.
00:57:29Simple enough.
00:57:30That'll be all, Mary.
00:57:31All right.
00:57:33We've had a room
00:57:37especially made over
00:57:38for you, Mr. Zinthrop,
00:57:39and Miss Warren
00:57:40has a room adjoining yours,
00:57:41so there'll be someone
00:57:42near you at all times.
00:57:45When you're
00:57:46feeling better,
00:57:48Mr. Zinthrop,
00:57:49there are a few things
00:57:50I'd like to discuss with you.
00:57:52Good, good.
00:57:59All right.
00:57:59We'll do everything we can
00:58:05to make you comfortable,
00:58:06Mr. Zinthrop.
00:58:06Yes.
00:58:08I'm going to spend the nights
00:58:09here in my office,
00:58:10so if anything develops,
00:58:12I'll be in hand.
00:58:17I must tell you
00:58:26something important,
00:58:29but important,
00:58:32but I cannot remember.
00:58:39I'm sure it can wait.
00:58:42Right now,
00:58:42the main thing
00:58:43is to get you back
00:58:43to health.
00:58:46Take good care of you,
00:58:47Miss Warren.
00:58:48Yes, Miss Starlin.
00:58:50Sure is funny
00:58:51about old Coop.
00:58:53You missed his one day
00:58:53of work,
00:58:54and you're ready
00:58:54to call missing persons.
00:58:56Well, he's a pretty
00:58:57conscientious guy, honey.
00:58:58If he felt sick or something,
00:58:59he'd have called in.
00:59:01Relax.
00:59:02He'll probably be
00:59:02in Brighton Chipper in the morning.
00:59:05Oh, is he interrupting something?
00:59:06Oh, we were just having
00:59:08a little coffee clutch,
00:59:09Miss Starlin.
00:59:10We were talking
00:59:10about Mr. Cooper.
00:59:12What about Mr. Cooper?
00:59:14Well, about his missing
00:59:14the meeting this morning.
00:59:16Nobody's been able
00:59:16to reach him all day.
00:59:17I wouldn't worry about that.
00:59:19Mr. Cooper's been here
00:59:20a long time.
00:59:23Probably feel he's entitled
00:59:24to take a day
00:59:25for himself now and then.
00:59:27That's what I've been
00:59:28trying to tell Mr. Lane.
00:59:29Oh, by the way,
00:59:30Miss Starlin,
00:59:30how is Mr. Zinthrop?
00:59:33Oh, fine.
00:59:35In a few days,
00:59:36we'll start the layouts
00:59:37of the campaign.
00:59:38Oh, I'm ready
00:59:39when you are, boss.
00:59:42Look this over.
00:59:44Hey, Bill.
00:59:46Huh?
00:59:46Don't go get any ideas
00:59:48about the boss.
00:59:49Well, me?
00:59:49Don't be silly.
00:59:50I just wanted to know
00:59:51that I'm an eager
00:59:51member of the team.
00:59:53Still, she is looking
00:59:55a lot younger
00:59:55these days, isn't she?
00:59:58You think Zinthrop
00:59:59would give you
01:00:00any of those treatments?
01:00:02You know,
01:00:02break the launch
01:00:03or something?
01:00:03It's...
01:00:03guaranteed on this, too.
01:00:11Oh, my God.
01:00:41What's that? What's...
01:00:43Here, lie back now. You just had a bad dream.
01:00:47Lie down now. Go to sleep.
01:00:49Such... such horrible sound.
01:00:52Like... like a nightmare.
01:00:54It's a bad dream. Lie down.
01:00:56Just a dream.
01:01:01Tell Mr. Green that personnel is his responsibility.
01:01:05I have other things to think about than worrying whether the night watchman walked off the job.
01:01:10Well, that's just it, Miss Starlin.
01:01:12Mr. Green feels that the watchman never left the building.
01:01:15His lunch pail and his raincoat are still in the basement.
01:01:20I don't want to hear anything more about it, Mary.
01:01:25Go ahead, Miss Starlin.
01:01:28We'll use these.
01:01:29She swears she heard a scream from one of the other floors.
01:01:38Zinthrop heard it, too, but she convinced him he was having a bad dream.
01:01:42Oh, maybe they both were.
01:01:45That's not funny anymore, Mary.
01:01:47There's something going on in that building.
01:01:50And I'm going to find out what it is.
01:01:51Have a look around Cooper's lab, for one thing.
01:01:56After that, I...
01:01:57I don't know.
01:02:01Hold it steady.
01:02:04Bill, this is crazy.
01:02:05We can really get in trouble.
01:02:07I won't tire him, Miss Warren, but it is important.
01:02:19All right, Miss Starlin.
01:02:20I'll be in my room.
01:02:25Zinthrop.
01:02:27Zinthrop, you've got to help me.
01:02:29Something's happening.
01:02:30Something's happening to me.
01:02:33I can't control it.
01:02:34There is something I must remember, but I can't.
01:02:40Try to think.
01:02:42The wasp enzymes.
01:02:44The extracts you were experimenting with before the accident.
01:02:47Try to think.
01:02:49I can't.
01:02:53Well, this is Zinthrop's notebook, Mary.
01:02:56Notes on his experiments with Jan.
01:02:58Well, how did Cooper get hold of it?
01:03:00I don't know.
01:03:03If only Cooper would show up.
01:03:06Mary, look.
01:03:12It's Mr. Cooper's pipe.
01:03:13Don't you get it?
01:03:14He'd sooner go out without his pants than leave that pipe behind.
01:03:18He's still somewhere in the building.
01:03:19I bet a year's salary on it.
01:03:22If he is, he...
01:03:24He's dead.
01:03:27And the night watchman.
01:03:30There's only enough left for one more injection.
01:03:35One more.
01:03:36You've got to make more, Zinthrop.
01:03:39Help me, Zinthrop.
01:03:40Please, please.
01:03:41My head, help my head.
01:03:43Zinthrop, help me!
01:03:45Help me?
01:03:46Help me!
01:03:47Help me!
01:03:48Help me!
01:03:49Help me!
01:03:50Help me!
01:03:51Help me!
01:03:52Help me!
01:03:53Help me!
01:03:54Help me!
01:03:55Help me!
01:03:56Help me!
01:03:57Help me!
01:03:58Help me!
01:03:59Help me!
01:04:00Help me!
01:04:01Help me!
01:04:02Help me!
01:04:03Help me!
01:04:04Help me!
01:04:05Help me!
01:04:06Help me!
01:04:07Help me!
01:04:08Help me!
01:04:09Help me!
01:04:10Help me!
01:04:11Help me!
01:04:12Help me!
01:04:13Help me!
01:04:14Is he asleep?
01:04:26I don't know.
01:04:35Bill, don't touch him.
01:04:37If anybody knows what's behind all this, it's him.
01:04:41Mr. Zinther.
01:04:44Bill, look it.
01:05:14Well, her coat, purse, and everything else are still in there.
01:05:37She wouldn't go out without her purse.
01:05:39Bill, let's get out of here.
01:05:41I don't like it.
01:05:42The cat.
01:05:44The cat must warn her.
01:05:48Mr. Zinther.
01:05:52Who are you?
01:05:53Well, there's nothing to be alarmed about, Mr. Zinther.
01:05:55I'm Bill Lane, and this is Miss Denison, Miss Starlin's secretary.
01:05:59Miss Starlin.
01:06:00The cat.
01:06:01What about a cat?
01:06:03Must warn her.
01:06:04Injections.
01:06:05Must not take any more injections.
01:06:08Is Miss Starlin in danger?
01:06:10Terrible danger.
01:06:11I was...
01:06:12Take it easy, Mr. Zinther, if you're still pretty weak.
01:06:14Mary, see if you can get Jan on the phone.
01:06:15All right.
01:06:17All right.
01:06:18All right.
01:06:30There's no answer.
01:06:30Oh, Miss Starlin.
01:06:35Is that you, Mary?
01:06:36Where are you?
01:06:37We're in the building.
01:06:38We're in Mr. Zinthrop's room.
01:06:39Something's happened back here.
01:06:40Here, let me talk to her.
01:06:41Hello, Miss Starlin.
01:06:42This is Lane.
01:06:43Why are you and Mary still in the building?
01:06:45It's after 10.
01:06:46I must help.
01:06:47I'm responsible.
01:06:48Don't let me get up, Mary.
01:06:50I must help.
01:06:52I can't explain now, Miss Starlin.
01:06:54I must...
01:06:54I must go.
01:06:55Get on to her.
01:06:56I must help.
01:06:57You must not hold me back.
01:06:58Don't worry, Mr. Zinthrop, we won't let anything happen to Miss Starlin.
01:07:03Hello.
01:07:04Hello, Miss Starlin.
01:07:05What's going on down there?
01:07:06Stay in your office.
01:07:07I'll be right up.
01:07:11Keep an eye on Zinthrop, honey.
01:07:12I'm going upstairs.
01:07:13Oh, no.
01:07:13No, no.
01:07:14The insects.
01:07:15The insects.
01:07:16Take it easy, Mr. Zinthrop.
01:07:18You do not understand, Miss Darling.
01:07:20She's in danger.
01:07:21I must warn.
01:07:22I'll have to stay here.
01:07:23You go for Jan.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:25When you get up there, call the police.
01:07:26She can't get outside on this phone.
01:07:28All right, all right.
01:07:29I'll hurry.
01:07:35That's nothing for us.
01:07:36I'm out of the police.
01:07:50Miss Starlin!
01:07:51Miss Starlin!
01:07:56Miss Starlin!
01:07:57It's me, Mary!
01:08:00Miss Starlin, please, open the door!
01:08:11What is that?
01:08:11Miss Starlin, please, will you please call the police?
01:08:15What for?
01:08:15Look, I don't have time to...
01:08:17Never mind.
01:08:18Mary!
01:08:18I'm sorry I had to do that.
01:08:24There's no time for hysteria.
01:08:26Now, what is this?
01:08:29The enzymes.
01:08:31The enzymes.
01:08:31They've gone crazy.
01:08:33Sure, Mr. Zanthroff.
01:08:34Now, you just relax and take it easy.
01:08:36Everything will be all right.
01:08:37We'll take care of those whatever you call us.
01:08:38You do not understand.
01:08:39You do not understand that girl.
01:08:41You shouldn't have sent her upstairs.
01:08:42She's in danger.
01:08:43You must stop her before it is too late.
01:08:45Okay.
01:08:45As soon as the cops get here, we'll take the...
01:08:47Oh, you fool.
01:08:48You fool.
01:08:49Miss Starlin will kill her and tear her body to shreds.
01:08:52Miss Starlin, kill Mary?
01:08:54Miss Starlin is not a human being any longer.
01:08:59The enzymes have changed her.
01:09:01She will destroy the girl as a female wasp would destroy her enemies
01:09:04and then devour the remains.
01:09:09Then Bill found Mr. Zanthroff's notebook in Cooper's desk.
01:09:15Now, there's no mistake.
01:09:18We've got to call the police now.
01:09:20Now, Mary, you're just getting a little excited.
01:09:23Who could possibly want to hurt Mr. Coon?
01:09:27I don't know.
01:09:28It's not only Mr. Cooper.
01:09:32What about...
01:09:33I don't know.
01:09:39I don't know.
01:09:44I told you we were correct, Mary.
01:10:07I told you we were correct, Mary.
01:10:14I told you we were correct, Mary.
01:10:22Mary!
01:10:24I'll go with you.
01:10:26I can't wait. I'm going to take the stairs.
01:10:28Oh, look. Laboratory. She's going to the laboratory.
01:10:32Get up the stairs, Pastor.
01:10:40Mary!
01:10:44Mary!
01:10:45Mary!
01:10:46Oh, my God.
01:10:47Oh, my God.
01:10:52Oh, my God.
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:56Get up!
01:10:59Let's go!
01:11:29Get away from her.
01:11:59Mary.
01:12:13Oh, Mary.
01:12:29Oh, Mary.
01:12:46Oh, Mary.
01:12:51Oh, Mary.
