00:00:00Let me die.
00:00:07Let me die.
00:00:30Let me die.
00:01:00Let me die.
00:01:30Let me die.
00:01:59Let me die.
00:02:01Let me die.
00:02:03I should have known he was as good as dead when they wheeled him in.
00:02:06You did everything possible, everything you could, Dr. Correa.
00:02:09Everything.
00:02:10Everything.
00:02:11Everything except save my patient.
00:02:16Everything in the books.
00:02:19Now, Dad, do I have permission to take over and try things my way?
00:02:29The operating room is no place to experiment.
00:02:32He's dead.
00:02:33I can't do any harm.
00:02:36Very well.
00:02:38The corpse is yours.
00:02:40Do what you want to do.
00:02:42All right.
00:02:44Make an opening into the chest cavity.
00:02:47Apply 100 milliamps of current directly to the heart, then massage by hand.
00:02:50I'll handle the brain area.
00:02:51By yourself?
00:02:52By myself.
00:02:53By yourself?
00:02:54By myself.
00:02:55By myself.
00:02:56Oh.
00:02:58Oh.
00:03:59I've got to work fast, if it isn't too late.
00:04:13Your talk is if he's still alive.
00:04:15He is.
00:04:16I just picked up a faint pulse beat.
00:04:20Keep massaging the heart.
00:04:22I am, I am.
00:04:24These electric shocks should stimulate the motor area enough to innovate the heart again.
00:04:28Then he won't need any external stimuli.
00:04:31Keep away from the motor area.
00:04:33You'll paralyze him for good.
00:04:35Which would you rather be, paralyzed or dead?
00:04:38Don't try to play God.
00:04:40Some choices are not yours to make.
00:04:43When the obstetrician has to decide which to save the mother or the child, who plays God then?
00:04:47It's part of the game.
00:04:49Game?
00:04:50The human body is not a jigsaw puzzle to experiment on.
00:04:54Still playing it safe like the other doctors, hmm?
00:04:57Might as well save my breath.
00:04:59Keep massaging the heart.
00:05:00You've already lost your patient, doctor.
00:05:02I'm going to save mine.
00:05:03His pulse is coming back stronger than ever.
00:05:07It's unbelievable.
00:05:09Nothing's unbelievable if you have the nerve to experiment.
00:05:12I've been working on something like this for weeks.
00:05:15In your laboratory?
00:05:18I knew this would work if only I had the opportunity.
00:05:21You don't conduct experiments on people.
00:05:24You should be sure of the results first.
00:05:28I am now.
00:05:31Stop massaging the heart.
00:05:33Let's see if it can take over by itself.
00:05:50All right.
00:05:52Close up the chest.
00:05:55I'm about finished with the cerebral area.
00:05:59How's his pulse?
00:06:00Strong and steady.
00:06:03You did perform a miracle.
00:06:25I may not approve of your methods, but...
00:06:27I am proud of your results.
00:06:30Roeldon, sir.
00:06:30Oh.
00:06:51Honk.
00:06:51Well, that was an amazing, even an extraordinary operation, son.
00:07:09But it still is too risky, too uncontrolled.
00:07:14Saved his life.
00:07:16And the after effects, what about them?
00:07:19You've lost the urge to experiment, to explore.
00:07:33You don't explore on people.
00:07:36Before you put a scalpel to one, an operation like this needs testing under every condition.
00:07:42Over and over again.
00:07:44Rabbits, mice, monkeys, not people.
00:07:48That man who should be dead now won't think so.
00:07:52There's more to surgery than just being a carpenter to patch up walls, or a plumber to drain pipes.
00:07:59Our bodies are capable of adjusting in ways we've hardly dreamt of.
00:08:04If we can only find the key.
00:08:06I'm so close now, so very close.
00:08:11The key to what?
00:08:12Complete transplantations.
00:08:15To be able to transplant limbs and organs.
00:08:19To be able to replace diseased and damaged parts of the body as easily as we replace eye corneas now.
00:08:25So that the new parts will join together as though they were born there.
00:08:29It can't be done.
00:08:33It can be done.
00:08:39With my new special compound I've created, I'll do it.
00:08:42I know I can do it.
00:08:43Sure, sure.
00:08:43That's what you say.
00:08:44That's what I know.
00:08:45I know I'm close.
00:08:46Darling, I'm so proud of you, I could kiss you.
00:08:55Promises, huh?
00:08:56Always promises.
00:08:58Careful, your father's liable to report us.
00:09:01Stop the floor show.
00:09:03When you two are married, it won't be fun to watch anymore.
00:09:05Well, I can promise you one thing.
00:09:07Your grandchildren won't be test tube babies.
00:09:10You better hurry if you want to catch that plane to Denver, Dad.
00:09:13You know that medical convention can't start without you.
00:09:15Uh, Jan, you'd better check about my reservations.
00:09:20Oh, yes.
00:09:20I'll call the airport.
00:09:21I'll be right back.
00:09:25Bill, the line between scientific genius and obsessive fanaticism is a thin one.
00:09:32Now, I want you on the right side of it.
00:09:34If I don't experiment, how can I hope to perform operations like the one you almost messed up?
00:09:38But I can't cover up for you anymore.
00:09:41The superintendent had it out with me.
00:09:43He thinks it's you who's been stealing those limbs from the amputee operations.
00:09:47So what if it is?
00:09:49I've got to have limbs for my transplant experiments.
00:09:53Test and experiment.
00:09:54Test and experiment.
00:09:55Yes, but limbs and organs taken from people.
00:09:58I've got to have them to work with.
00:10:00Sure, I've made a few mistakes.
00:10:05But I've learned from them.
00:10:06I've learned.
00:10:11Your reservations are all set.
00:10:133.30 takeoff.
00:10:15Bill, what have you two planned for the weekend?
00:10:18Oh, nothing much.
00:10:21It's a quiet weekend.
00:10:23Are you sure you're not going up to the country house?
00:10:25You're always sneaking off up there.
00:10:28That place gives me the creeps.
00:10:30I should have sold it when your mother died.
00:10:32You can't sell that place.
00:10:34Well, I mean, it's nice to get away from the city.
00:10:36I can work without anyone snooping around.
00:10:37You spend too much time up there.
00:10:39All right, I'll see you both in a few days.
00:10:44Got to clean up and get out of here.
00:10:48Fine operation or not, Bill.
00:10:50You're walking on thin ice.
00:10:53Don't go too far.
00:11:01Oh, every time you touch me, I go out of my mind.
00:11:05I want to kiss you.
00:11:06Bill, I want to get married.
00:11:09I can't stand not having you.
00:11:12You've been wonderful.
00:11:13I'd rather be a bride.
00:11:16In a few more weeks.
00:11:18And nothing will keep us apart.
00:11:21We'll be together.
00:11:35Dr. Cortner.
00:11:36I'm so glad you're here.
00:11:43I was afraid you'd gotten away.
00:11:44There was a very important phone message that came to you.
00:11:47It sounded quite urgent.
00:11:48I've been looking everywhere.
00:11:50It was from a man called Kurt.
00:11:52He called from the country place.
00:11:54And he said something terrible has happened.
00:11:56He wanted you to come right out.
00:11:59Well, you've always wanted to know what's kept me away from you so many weekends.
00:12:07Have you got the keys to your car?
00:12:09Why haven't you ever taken me up here before?
00:12:23Because the things I'm working on don't need an audience.
00:12:26That telephone call.
00:12:27What about it?
00:12:28All right, all right.
00:12:30Hold off the questions.
00:12:32Why the mystery, Bill?
00:12:34What's it all about?
00:12:36We'll be there soon enough.
00:12:37You'll see.
00:12:38I've got to hurry.
00:12:40I've got to hurry.
00:12:40We'll be there soon enough.
00:17:23All right, all right, for God's sake, open the door.
00:17:25I'm coming.
00:17:30What's the matter?
00:17:32What's happening to you?
00:17:33It's been a terrible accident.
00:17:35I've got to save her.
00:17:36I've got to save her.
00:17:37What is it?
00:17:38What have you got there?
00:17:39Kurt, please, sterilize the tubes and instruments, quickly.
00:17:41What are you going to do?
00:17:42Aren't you going to have a look in the closet first?
00:17:44Oh, I can't now.
00:17:45This is more important.
00:17:46But you don't understand.
00:17:47For God's sake, Kurt, this is urgent.
00:17:48Do as I tell you before it's too late.
00:17:49I can't waste my考EL.
00:17:50Come on.
00:17:55Good.
00:17:59I can't waste precious time arguing with you.
00:20:02The eyelids.
00:20:04I saw them move.
00:20:07It can't be.
00:20:11My eyes are deceiving me.
00:20:15What you see is real.
00:20:17What's done is done, and what I've done is right.
00:20:19It's the work of science.
00:20:32I remember fire.
00:20:37I'm burning.
00:20:42Let me die.
00:20:49Let me die.
00:20:54I've had success with transplants.
00:20:59Now I can do it for her.
00:21:04Transplant her to what?
00:21:07I brought her back.
00:21:09She'll live, and I'll get her another body.
00:21:12I can make her complete again.
00:21:13Only a madman can believe that she could ever be like before.
00:21:19Don't argue with me.
00:21:22I love her too much to let her stay like this.
00:21:25I'll restore her as before.
00:21:27You'll see.
00:21:27Oh, can't you realize?
00:21:31Can't you see?
00:21:32There's a pattern to all that lives, an order, an arrangement.
00:21:37She had a heart and a brain, and her spirit was in both, not in one or the other.
00:21:42No.
00:21:44I'll give her a brain and a heart.
00:21:47Yes, and what of her soul?
00:21:50You say you love her.
00:21:53You can remember her love for you.
00:21:56Then how can you make of her an experiment of horror?
00:22:00All the skill and science I possess was meant for this.
00:22:04Life has a pattern.
00:22:07The whole pattern of my life is shaping itself to save her now.
00:22:10Then you intend to go through with it.
00:22:13Yes.
00:22:17Sleep, my darling.
00:22:20Rest and grow stronger.
00:22:36How long do you think we can keep her alive under these conditions?
00:22:40Forty-eight.
00:22:42Fifty hours at the most.
00:22:44Yes.
00:22:46And you really believe you can work a transplant on her successfully?
00:22:52Yes.
00:22:55Like my arm.
00:22:57Withered and deformed.
00:23:00Yours was an early experiment that failed.
00:23:02With her, I'm using my new adrenos serum.
00:23:07Must work.
00:23:11I've got to go now.
00:23:14If the police or anyone call,
00:23:18tell them you don't know anything about it.
00:23:20I don't think anyone will trace us here because her body was burned in the wreckage.
00:23:26Yes, yes, of course, of course.
00:23:28Look, Bill, before you go,
00:23:30do have a look in that closet.
00:23:31It's the reason why I called you up here.
00:23:33It's the reason why I said,"
00:23:59Keep it locked.
00:24:25Look, this night it got so violent it almost broke out.
00:24:28No, no, not through that thickness. Keep it closed.
00:24:38I've got to think about her now.
00:24:43I've got to find her a body.
00:24:45How are you going to go about getting one?
00:24:51Bill, how will you do it?
00:24:54There are ways.
00:24:58There are ways.
00:25:00There are ways.
00:25:02There are ways.
00:25:04What are the things?
00:25:06Blah.
00:25:07You're good.
00:25:08Blah.
00:25:09There are ways.
00:25:11Let's go.
00:25:12Great.
00:25:13I'm going to go back.
00:25:14Help me out now.
00:25:15I can't.
00:25:17Your georgia.
00:25:18I can't help you.
00:25:21I have no idea why.
00:25:24Oh, my God.

00:28:45Oh, my God.
00:29:15Oh, my God.
00:29:45It's not a good thing when you see it.
00:29:47Yeah, there was plenty to see.
00:29:50I liked your act.
00:29:51Is that all you liked?
00:29:53Well, your costume, what there was of it, was interesting.
00:29:56Is that all?
00:29:58The rest of the equipment is standard.
00:30:00Yes, but the arrangement is pretty special.
00:30:07You know, tourists just looking at the sights.
00:30:10What are you doing here, slumming?
00:30:13I get my allowance once a week.
00:30:15Okay, if you're so loaded.
00:30:17You pay for the drinks.
00:30:18I already did.
00:30:20Are you hustling for the house?
00:30:22I hustle for myself.
00:30:27I'm the leading lady around here.
00:30:30I can sit with the squares out front,
00:30:32or I can relax back here with my friends.
00:30:35I'll bet you don't have an enemy in the world.
00:30:39Hmm?
00:30:40Let me die.
00:30:56Let me die.
00:31:03Let me die.
00:31:06Where are you from?
00:31:14Oh, around.
00:31:15Just looking around.
00:31:16When you get done looking, then what?
00:31:20I operate.
00:31:22I get your message.
00:31:23You're coming across.
00:31:26You could flip any chick in the house.
00:31:29Why me?
00:31:31Like I said, I'm looking.
00:31:33Well, you don't have to look any further.
00:31:36I'm not going to fake it for you.
00:31:38When do you go on again?
00:31:40When?
00:31:41Relax.
00:31:42I got another show yet,
00:31:44but it could be for you.
00:31:46Oh, I was just asking.
00:31:49Try taking.
00:31:52Are you getting nervous?
00:31:54I'm over 21.
00:31:57No, it isn't bad.
00:31:58It's...
00:31:58I've just got things to do.
00:32:01Things to take care of.
00:32:03Well, if I don't exactly make you sick,
00:32:04what could be more important
00:32:05than I could be taken care of right now.
00:32:10Well, I've, uh...
00:32:11I've got to see about helping somebody.
00:32:15Somebody who needs my help very badly.
00:32:17You can't cut out of me now, baby.
00:32:19Now when you've got me feeling so good.
00:32:22I'm so warm all over.
00:32:25I'm good for you.
00:32:27I know I'm good for what you want.
00:32:31You may be just what I'm looking for.
00:32:41You've got your nerve.
00:32:43Oh, look who's talking.
00:32:45Why don't you hold your beat-up body
00:32:48back to the bar with the rest of the flies.
00:32:50Keep your G-string on.
00:32:52I only came in here to change my clothes.
00:32:54I got admission.
00:32:56Now I'd like to see the rest of the show.
00:32:58Come back in half an hour
00:33:00and maybe you will.
00:33:01Get lost.
00:33:04Hi, lover boy.
00:33:06I see you've met the queen.
00:33:07Come here, don't hide.
00:33:14You know, you've got the kind of face
00:33:15a girl doesn't mind looking at.
00:33:17Even out front,
00:33:18all the other girls are asking about you.
00:33:20Get out of here.
00:33:21Choose company.
00:33:22Three's a crowd.
00:33:24Who's to tell me to blow
00:33:25if I don't want to?
00:33:27This here's my dressing room too, remember?
00:33:30The kilter to see me make time.
00:33:33You're the only thing
00:33:34that's going to be made around here tonight.
00:33:36Honey.
00:33:37Eat your heart out.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40Yeah, well, I'd better be going.
00:33:43What for?
00:33:44Look what you've done.
00:33:45You come bucking with your two cents?
00:33:48Let me see you later.
00:33:50I'll make everything up to you.
00:33:52I swear I will.
00:33:53Yeah.
00:33:54Come on back later.
00:33:56I'll remember you.
00:33:58Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
00:33:59You lousy tramp.
00:34:08Once in a blue moon,
00:34:09I latch into a guy with class
00:34:11and you mess it up.
00:34:13Eh?
00:34:14What makes you think you had him?
00:34:17He would have you on a theft.
00:34:18Says who?
00:34:20Says me.
00:34:21What's a guy like that
00:34:23want with leftovers for?
00:34:24Leftovers?
00:34:26Why, you cheap third-rate stripper.
00:34:30You are all over.
00:34:32You're cheap.
00:34:32Please, please.
00:34:33Let's go.
00:34:37Don't you ever call me.
00:34:39Oh, we'll go.
00:34:41There.
00:34:41I'll match you like a bug.
00:34:43Just don't surprise.
00:34:45Oh, I'll try all night.
00:34:46Meow.
00:35:16You.
00:35:26Inside the closet.
00:35:29What has he done to you?
00:35:38I know there's someone there.
00:35:40Knock once if you hear me.
00:36:10Knock twice if I'm not the first.
00:36:18Knock twice if I'm not the first.
00:36:28He should have let me die.
00:36:33I hate him for what he's done to me.
00:36:35He only knew what it's like being like this.
00:36:45Do you know what it's like?
00:36:54Together we could have revenge.
00:36:59You want revenge?
00:37:00Yes.
00:37:23You thing inside and me the thing out here.
00:37:28My brain's still untouched.
00:37:30And his keeping me alive has given me a power he didn't count on.
00:37:37Power that you can feel.
00:37:41Across this room and through that door.
00:37:45Can't you?
00:37:46Can't you?
00:37:46Together we're both more than things.
00:37:58We're a power as hideous as our deformities.
00:38:14Together we'll wreak our revenge.
00:38:18I shall create power and you will enforce it.
00:38:23I shall create power and you will enforce it.
00:38:27You're the thing inside.
00:38:31You're the thing out here.
00:38:33Let's go.
00:38:34Let's go.
00:38:43Uh...
00:38:44Yeah.
00:38:45Yeah.

00:41:09It's all right to bring me back to this.
00:41:13Perhaps not.
00:41:15Who knows?
00:41:17But you should know
00:41:19that before he injected the serum into that,
00:41:23it was but a mass of grafted tissues, lifeless.
00:41:28Just lay there, weighted down with its transplants
00:41:31of broken limbs and amputated arms.
00:41:34But with this serum, it began to breathe.
00:41:38It's impossible.
00:41:42Would you have thought possible what he's already done?
00:41:46Take yourself.
00:41:48He's brought you back.
00:41:50You live.
00:41:52Only a few years ago,
00:41:55all transplants were impossible.
00:41:58That's what he's been doing up here
00:42:01where no one could see his work.
00:42:03Yes.
00:42:05Experimenting with transplants on that.
00:42:08And on me.
00:42:11Letting him tear away my flesh time after time.
00:42:15Test after test.
00:42:17My hopes shattering with each grafted arm he fastened to me.
00:42:23watching it wither and warp.
00:42:29Instead of strengthening.
00:42:33You see, he's learned from his mistakes.
00:42:39And you stayed with him.
00:42:43Helping him in his grotesque work that he claims is for science.
00:42:49Was there a place for me on the outside with this?
00:42:53The world where eyes would look upon me with pity.
00:42:59And people would turn away from me in disgust.
00:43:03No.
00:43:05The alcoholic has his bottle.
00:43:08The dope addict his needle.
00:43:11I had my research.
00:43:17I used to be a surgeon.
00:43:19It was my life.
00:43:21And one night in the laboratory there...
00:43:25there was an accident.
00:43:28They had to amputate my arm.
00:43:31And he has used you to...
00:43:41I have no choice.
00:43:43He was my only hope.
00:43:45A surgeon needs both his arms, not just one.
00:43:49You see, my transplanted grotesqueness stayed.
00:43:53And so did I.
00:43:55I live only for the day he can work a successful transplant to my body.
00:44:00That is why I stay.
00:44:03Transplant...
00:44:05my head onto another body.
00:44:09Yes.
00:44:10And he's insane with the belief he can do it.
00:44:14But the tissues of my body would reject the tissues of another.
00:44:19Reject it as the foreign substance it is.
00:44:22The transplant would never take.
00:44:24It would never stay in place.
00:44:26My blood's antibodies would attack it as they attack any invading matter.
00:44:29Yes, but his new discovery, this new serum, may change all that.
00:44:36This serum injected into the bloodstream affects the lymphoid tissues.
00:44:42Here in the neck.
00:44:44The lymphoids that provide the antibodies for the blood that detect foreign transplanted matter.
00:44:50It was untested, untried, till we used it on you.
00:44:55So...
00:44:56That liquid in the blood that's being pumped through what's left of me...
00:45:01...is what makes me feel the...
00:45:05He may produce results he didn't ask for.
00:45:15Results?
00:45:18You mean...
00:45:20...like this?
00:45:22Results more terrible than your arm of relative beauty.
00:45:27Results of power.
00:45:28Results of power.
00:45:29Of magnitude.
00:45:30Power.
00:45:31What power?
00:45:32Can't you see that you're at the mercy of every element of the universe?
00:45:37How can you speak of power?
00:45:38I heard of power.
00:45:39This liquid that he's pumped into me.
00:45:40My brain burns with it.
00:45:41That thing inside an iron touch.
00:45:42Want me to prove it?
00:45:43No.
00:45:44You can prove nothing.
00:45:45You are powerless.
00:45:46I'll show you how powerless I am.
00:45:50You.
00:45:51Behind that door.
00:45:52What?
00:45:53What?
00:45:54What?
00:45:55What?
00:45:56What?
00:45:57What?
00:45:58What?
00:45:59What?
00:46:00What?
00:46:01What?
00:46:02What?
00:46:03What?
00:46:04What?
00:46:05What?
00:46:06What?
00:46:07What?
00:46:08What?
00:46:09What?
00:46:10What?
00:46:11What?
00:46:12What?
00:46:13What?
00:46:15What?
00:46:20Let me know if you hear me.
00:46:22Who ever.
00:46:25Whatever.
00:46:26Wot-ever you are.
00:46:28I command you.
00:46:29I command you.
00:46:32You understand me.
00:46:38I'm only ahead.
00:46:40What?
00:46:41I'm only ahead.
00:46:42And you're whatever you are.
00:46:46Together we're strong.
00:46:49More powerful than any of them.
00:47:04What are you running from? What's wrong with you?
00:47:07Oh, it's you.
00:47:09Something wrong, something beyond control in that room.
00:47:14There's nothing beyond my control.
00:47:16She's alive and I'll keep her alive until I find her a body.
00:47:19I can't talk anymore. I'm tired. I've got to go to sleep.
00:47:23And you didn't find her a body?
00:47:25Well, I've got to be careful.
00:47:27I can't afford to be identified as the last person seen with a girl before she disappears.
00:47:31Do you think you'll get one?
00:47:32There are many things left for tomorrow.
00:48:02It was a very good day.
00:48:03There's nothing without me.
00:48:04There's nothing without me.
00:48:06I can't afford to be afraid.
00:48:09I can't afford to be afraid.
00:48:10I can't afford to be afraid.
00:48:12I'm afraid.
00:48:14I can't afford to be afraid.
00:48:45Hi. I was about to call a cop the way you were looking me over. How have you been, Bill?
00:48:59Oh, just fine, Donna. I haven't seen you for quite a while.
00:49:02Too long. I'm still waiting for that call you once promised me.
00:49:05Well, you know how it is with interns. All work.
00:49:09All work and no play even makes for dull doctors.
00:49:12You're going to lose that bedside manner of yours.
00:49:14Say, how about a little side course in anatomy?
00:49:19Yours? Anytime.
00:49:20No, not mine. A body beautiful contest.
00:49:23You know, bathing suit models. Plenty of females on the hoof.
00:49:26Your eyes will have a field day. Interested?
00:49:29Well, why not? You're just with the dog who ordered.
00:49:33Come on, jump in.
00:49:33Uh, on second thought, I just remembered I've got to stop by my place and take care of a few things. It'll only take a minute. You don't mind, do you?
00:49:43I always follow the doctor's orders. Anything you prescribe, I'll take.
00:49:48That's what I like about you, Donna. Always so obliging.
00:49:56Hey, Donna, where are you going? What's the hurry?
00:49:59Hi, Jeannie. We're going to look for some bodies.
00:50:01You mean the contest?
00:50:02Yeah.
00:50:03Got any room for me?
00:50:03Oh, sure. Plenty.
00:50:05Bill, this is Jeannie Reynolds. Jeannie, this is Dr. Phil Cortner.
00:50:08Hi. Hello.
00:50:08Hop in, but first we've got to stop off at his place.
00:50:11Sure.
00:50:11Well, as a matter of fact, that can wait. Now that there's two of you, we'll have to wait.
00:50:26Guess he thinks there's safety in numbers.
00:50:29Well, this time there is.
00:50:30We promise not to hurt you.
00:50:32And I promise not to hurt you.
00:50:33Ha, ha, ha.
00:50:35Ha, ha, ha.
00:50:41Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Well, it looks like we're about ready to go.
00:51:00Backstage are five of the girls who have reached the contest finals, and we are here to choose
00:51:05Miss Body Beautiful.
00:51:06Now, we've eliminated everyone except the five finalists, and they will be judged solely
00:51:11by your applause. So let's bring them on. First, Helen Appleton.
00:51:16Betty Broughton.
00:51:39Betty Broughton.
00:51:39Terry Lund.
00:51:55Peggy Howard.
00:52:08She has the second nicest body I've ever seen.
00:52:26Second to you?
00:52:28No, another girl. A figure model. You remember that one in school years ago? The one who had
00:52:33the accident.
00:52:35Oh, yeah, yeah. Doris, uh...
00:52:37Doris Powell.
00:52:38Yeah, is she still around?
00:52:40A few people see her nowadays. She just stays in her studio posing for art classes and camera
00:52:45bugs.
00:52:50A figure model. Poses for art classes. The nicest body she's ever seen. The nicest body.
00:52:59Maybe this is the woman she's ever seen. Maybe this is the woman she's got to be. I can keep Jan alive only for a few more hours. I've got to find her a body.
00:53:09He... He intends to kill somebody. To rob them of their body. Do you hear me?
00:53:21Yes, you hear me? Yes, you hear me. You know how Bill's egotism drives him on and on. To infamy upon infamy.
00:53:34Who could ever be born of evil?
00:53:36Yet he claims his work is for science.
00:53:38Yes, you hear me. You know how Bill's egotism drives him on and on. To infamy upon infamy.
00:53:47To infamy upon infamy.
00:53:53Who could ever be born of evil?
00:54:01Yet he claims his work is for science.
00:54:04For humanity.
00:54:06To be joined to flesh not your own.
00:54:19What's human in this?
00:54:22Of how you must exist locked behind that door?
00:54:28We've got to stop him.
00:54:46And I shall see.

00:56:45You and me, away from everybody, someplace where nobody will butt in with you and I can really be alone.
00:56:50No, thank you.
00:56:52How about posing for me, private-like?
00:56:54I'll pay you real money, real good money.
00:56:57The kind of money they don't throw at you every day, and for doing hardly nothing at all.
00:57:01I do my posing for classes only, Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 to 10.
00:57:06Yeah, I know, but we can...
00:57:07Good night.
00:57:15See it all, mister.
00:57:30The show's over.
00:57:32Next time, bring a camera and buy a ticket.
00:57:35I'm not running a charity.
00:57:38You don't remember me, do you, Doris?
00:57:41Every guy on the make gives me that same tired line.
00:57:46I'm Bill Cortner.
00:57:50Bill Cortner.
00:57:53Long time ago, that fight.
00:57:56He almost tore that wise guy apart for making fun of me.
00:58:01After my accident.
00:58:03Look, uh, can't we go somewhere and talk?
00:58:06No, I don't date men.
00:58:08Because I pose like I do.
00:58:10Your mind works overtime.
00:58:12You get ideas.
00:58:15You're all alike.
00:58:17No, not all of us.
00:58:19I'm not on the make for you.
00:58:21Okay, so maybe you're better than most.
00:58:24Maybe not.
00:58:26I still hate all men.
00:58:29Oh, you hate them for what one did to me once.
00:58:33Have you forgotten?
00:58:35Well, have you?
00:58:38No, I haven't forgotten.
00:58:40Well, neither have I.
00:58:43I carry the memory around with me.
00:58:47But you can't hide yourself away here forever.
00:58:50Posing bare in front of a bunch of neurotics.
00:58:53Listen, Galahad.
00:58:55I trusted a man once.
00:58:57All the way.
00:58:58What did it get me?
00:59:00He gets his head full of jealous lies and I get...
00:59:02You've got to forget what happened.
00:59:04How can I forget?
00:59:05I carry the memory around with me.
00:59:08Two minutes.
00:59:14Am I so appealing to you now?
00:59:17Still so interested?
00:59:20What?
00:59:21Doesn't it make you sick?
00:59:30You don't even turn away from me.
00:59:33Like everyone else does.
00:59:37To me you're not ugly.
00:59:39I see only beauty in you.
00:59:41You have a lovely body and a face that can be made beautiful again also.
00:59:45Yeah.
00:59:48I've heard that song before.
00:59:51I'm a doctor.
00:59:52I know.
00:59:53My father's one of the leading plastic surgeons.
00:59:55If anyone can help you, we can.
00:59:56I know I can.
00:59:57I've been to doctors.
00:59:59It's no use.
01:00:00The scar tissue's too deep.
01:00:02No one can help me.
01:00:04That was a few years ago.
01:00:06Today nothing's hopeless.
01:00:08We can graft scar and skin tissue.
01:00:11That way we can even freeze areas of the skin.
01:00:15And sand away damaged skin tissues.
01:00:19The way you say that.
01:00:20That look in your eyes.
01:00:22I almost want to believe you.
01:00:25I almost want to believe you.
01:00:27Well then start believing, hmm?
01:00:38Even if your father could help me.
01:00:50I couldn't pay him the kind of money it would take.
01:00:53Don't talk about money.
01:00:54He does a lot of work without any charge.
01:00:59Why should you want to do this for me?
01:01:03What's in it for you?
01:01:05I'm going to make your face beautiful again.
01:01:09Cut it off and give your body away.
01:01:17I'm sorry, Bill.
01:01:21I have been knocked around so many times.
01:01:26I've lost count.
01:01:28It's tough living with this.
01:01:31I don't mean to sound ungrateful.
01:01:33Well, because you've been batted around, don't go sour.
01:01:36You shouldn't lose your trust in people.
01:01:38Not all of us.
01:01:41I believe you.
01:01:42I want to.
01:01:45Do you really think something can be done?
01:01:48Only my father knows.
01:01:50Look, we have a country place just out of town.
01:01:52He's visiting for the weekend.
01:01:53I could take you there now for a consultation.
01:01:56You mean tonight?
01:01:57Well, if you'd rather wait till he comes back.
01:01:59If he comes back.
01:02:00Oh, no, no.
01:02:01I mean, he wouldn't be annoyed being bothered with me so late at night.
01:02:04Well, you let me do the worrying, hmm?
01:02:06I'll do anything that'll help me get rid of this face.
01:02:10Well, that's where I come in.
01:02:13Remember the last time I helped you?
01:02:14Where are you going?
01:02:20Who are you calling?
01:02:21My girlfriend.
01:02:22I want to tell her the news.
01:02:24Before you know what the verdict's gonna be?
01:02:30You're right.
01:02:31I shouldn't talk until I know what's going to happen.
01:02:34Well, my girlfriend, she's supposed to drop in later.
01:02:36I'll have to leave her a note or something.
01:02:37Well, just tell her you'll see her later.
01:02:39Otherwise, she'll ask a lot of nosy questions.
01:02:41We want to be sure first.
01:02:42Just throw something on, huh?
01:02:44I'll be with you in a minute.
01:02:56Just tell her you'll keep in touch.
01:02:59I'll leave it on the table.
01:03:00She'll see it.
01:03:03Had to go out with old friend Bill Kortner.
01:03:07I'll call you tomorrow.
01:03:10Doris.
01:03:13Here.
01:03:20I'll leave it on the lamp.
01:03:26She'll see it, won't she?
01:03:28That's the first place she'll look.
01:03:29I'll leave the lights on for her.
01:03:38I have waited so long for this.
01:03:42So have I.
01:03:56Again.
01:03:57Hit it again.
01:03:58I've got to see your hideousness.
01:03:59You've got to see mine.
01:04:00I wonder which of us is more awful.
01:04:01Nothing you can be is more terrible than what I am.
01:04:04A head without a body.
01:04:05A head that should be in its grave.
01:04:10I hate him.
01:04:11I hate him.
01:04:12I hate him.
01:04:13I hate him for what he's done to me.
01:04:15Can your horror match mine?
01:04:16Quiet.
01:04:17Someone's coming.
01:04:18Quiet.
01:04:19Someone's coming.
01:04:20Quiet.
01:04:21Someone's coming.
01:04:22Quiet.
01:04:23Someone's coming.
01:04:26Quiet.
01:04:28Quiet.
01:04:29Quiet.
01:04:30The bed.
01:04:31Who?
01:04:33The bed.
01:04:34Who?
01:04:35It's so cold.
01:04:36It's so cold.
01:04:37A neck.
01:04:39A head that should be in its grave.
01:04:41It's so cold.
01:04:42Your head that should be in its grave.
01:04:45I hate him.
01:04:47I hate him.
01:04:48I have come to feed your friend, while you feed yourself with hate, it prefers food.
01:05:13Your former snivelling fear becomes you more.
01:05:17Yeah.
01:05:25What makes you think I'm afraid of what's in there?
01:05:28Or of you?
01:05:30A mere head in search of a body?
01:05:34People fear what they don't understand, and what they can't see.
01:05:40What are you talking about?
01:05:43You're nothing but a freak of life, and a freak of death.
01:05:49Why should I be afraid of a few knocks on a door?
01:05:51But last night you ran.
01:05:55You were afraid of what you imagined lay behind that door.
01:05:59I imagined it was I who helped graft together the bits and pieces that were stolen from the hospital.
01:06:09An amputated arm, a leg, a torso.
01:06:12It was I who helped piece them together like a monstrous jigsaw puzzle.
01:06:16And that same medicine that he's fed to me to activate my lymphoid tissues.
01:06:22Has he fed it to that?
01:06:24No.
01:06:25No.
01:06:26No, on that he used an earlier formula.
01:06:29It wasn't as successful as the serum he's using on you.
01:06:32But it was enough to allow the transplants to take.
01:06:37If your experiment is successful, then it'll be my turn.
01:06:44And what else has happened to it?
01:06:49You mean what else?
01:06:51Well, it's...
01:06:55It's mutated some, of course.
01:06:58It's changed considerably.
01:07:03Why don't you open the door?
01:07:06And we'll both see how it's changed.
01:07:08Listen, you.
01:07:09I warn you.
01:07:10You better stop pestering me, do you hear?
01:07:12I'm getting fed up with you and your insidious talk.
01:07:15He should have cut out your tongue while he was at it.
01:07:18Afraid?
01:07:21Afraid of whom?
01:07:23Of you?
01:07:25No.
01:07:26Not anymore.
01:07:28But of it.
01:07:32Nor of it.
01:07:44He only keeps it locked in there so that...
01:07:47It'll be safe, that's all.
01:07:49Safe?
01:07:52From me?
01:07:59You beast!
01:08:03I hope he prolongs your existence into a lifetime of agony.
01:08:06Then we'll see who's laughing at whom!
01:08:08You miserable fool!
01:08:10Get him!
01:08:11What are you saying?
01:08:12No!
01:08:13No!
01:08:15No!
01:08:16No!
01:08:17No!
01:08:18No!
01:08:21No!
01:08:22No!
01:08:23You're not bad!
01:08:24Kill him!
01:08:54Kill him!
01:09:00Kill him!
01:09:03Kill him!
01:09:24Kill him!
01:09:54Kill him!
01:09:57Kill him!
01:10:00Kill him!
01:10:19Kill him!

01:12:45oh
01:14:47I've forgotten you.
01:14:48Why, Doris, you've become very important to me.
01:14:50Very important.
01:14:51I put a little water in it so it wouldn't be too strong for you.
01:14:54Fine.
01:14:55I'm not a very heavy drinker.
01:14:57Neither am I.
01:14:57Well, here's to your future, whatever it may be.
01:15:04I'll drink to that.
01:15:25It's getting awfully warm in here.
01:15:55I feel kind of funny.
01:16:25Bill, you put something in my drink, didn't you?
01:16:45Bill, you put something in there.
01:17:15I told you I'd bring you a body.
01:17:24A beautiful one.
01:17:28Soon it will be yours.
01:17:29Bill, you can't.
01:17:31Yes, I can.
01:17:34I want you as a complete woman, not part of one.
01:17:40Is it a crime to want to keep you alive?
01:17:41Is it a crime for science to jump ahead by years?
01:17:49This kind of thing must be done.
01:17:54When it's over, you'll see.
01:17:55I've got to hurry now.
01:17:59The drug will wear off soon and she'll be awake.
01:18:04When she does come too,
01:18:07it will be your head consciously awakening for her.
01:18:09I'll be right back.
01:18:13Here.
01:18:16All right.
01:18:27You must be stopped.
01:18:49You must.
01:18:51And who's going to do it?
01:18:53It's got to be quiet here.
01:18:54You can't stop me.
