00:08:51So, let's go.

00:08:54So, let's go.

00:09:24So, let's go.

00:09:29Actually, it's von Pernitz-Kerthart.

00:09:32I think von What's-His-Name is easier, don't you?

00:09:34He wants to meet us for lunch tomorrow.

00:09:35I suggested that new place, Panino's.

00:09:37You wanted to go there, haven't you?

00:09:38A woman.

00:09:39I guess it had to be a woman.

00:09:41What are you talking about?

00:09:43Oh, thanks.

00:09:46When I was out driving just a little while ago, I was on a country road and there was nothing

00:09:51around, and all of a sudden I heard a scream.

00:09:55Probably somebody noticed the way you drive.

00:09:56Oh, it was inside the car.

00:10:02Really.

00:10:03Right inside.

00:10:05It was terrible.

00:10:08Hey.

00:10:09It was the car.

00:10:10It had to be, didn't it?

00:10:13Probably a, a brake seizing up, a screech of metal.

00:10:16Is that possible?

00:10:17Well, it happens not often, but it does.

00:10:20I told you, get rid of that car.

00:10:21Peter.

00:10:22All right.

00:10:23Keep it if it pleases you so much.

00:10:25You'll be there, won't you?

00:10:26Where?

00:10:27Tomorrow, Von.

00:10:28What's his name?

00:10:28Oh, yes, of course.

00:10:31What time?

00:10:32Oh, about one o'clock.

00:10:33That all right?

00:10:34Yeah.

00:10:34You can try out your new status symbol on him.

00:10:36It's quite easy to park around there.

00:10:38Is it?

00:10:41You don't even know where Panino's is, do you?

00:10:44You go down Hamilton Terrace and turn right into Marlborough Place.

00:10:47Have you got it?

00:10:48Mm-hmm.

00:11:20I'm going to be a little bit late.

00:11:23Well, women are, aren't they?

00:11:25Not in my country.

00:11:28Oh, no, no.

00:11:29Not in your country.

00:11:31Women are always early in your country.

00:11:36Helen won't be that late, so...

00:11:41Meanwhile, if you want to go ahead...

00:11:43Bye.

00:12:06Let's go!

00:12:23We could begin the discussion without him.

00:12:29You are a photographer.

00:12:31Yes.

00:12:32Quite a good one.

00:12:34Not the most brilliant, but a good one.

00:12:36Well, I'll try.

00:12:38Good photographers are, what is the phrase, ten a something.

00:12:44Ten a penny.

00:12:46Exactly.

00:12:48Now, Miss Cook, that is different.

00:12:50Personally, she is not my taste at all.

00:12:52But at this moment, her face, her body, they are the mode in.

00:12:59They are in demand.

00:13:00I can assure you.

00:13:01No, you cannot assure me.

00:13:03My assurance is damaged.

00:13:06I want to Miss Cook.

00:13:07I will tolerate you.

00:13:09And what happens?

00:13:10I get you and no Miss Cook.

00:13:13Now, in my country...

00:13:15Mr. Tarr?

00:13:15No, me.

00:13:16Call for you, Signore.

00:13:24Hello?

00:13:32In Reigate?

00:13:34That's miles out in the country.

00:13:35It's 40 miles from London.

00:13:37What in the hell are you doing in Reigate?

00:13:39I tried to turn the wheel and it wouldn't.

00:13:42It just kept going.

00:13:43I mean, this last year in the jam, is that what you mean?

00:13:45Why didn't you stop?

00:13:46I couldn't.

00:13:46Helen, it just isn't good enough.

00:13:48Peter, the car wouldn't let me.

00:13:51Before I knew what was happening, I was out of town in Reigate.

00:13:56And then I found myself on the road to Hitherton.

00:13:58What do you mean?

00:13:58Hitherton?

00:14:00Yeah, it's a little village just outside of...

00:14:01I know what it is.

00:14:02At least I think I do.

00:14:04I'm sorry.

00:14:08I told you, didn't I?

00:14:10Get rid of that car.

00:14:11What do you think it is?

00:14:13Not being able to turn the wheel.

00:14:15And that scream that I heard yesterday.

00:14:58I don't know.

00:15:13Now where?

00:15:33I don't know.

00:15:34I don't know.

00:15:47I don't know.

00:16:17ORGAN PLAYS

00:16:38ORGAN PLAYS

00:16:57ORGAN PLAYS

00:16:58We interrupt this program to bring you an important news item.

00:17:01A few moments ago, shots were fired from the public gallery of the House of Commons.

00:17:05A man has been arrested.

00:17:07As yet, we have no news as to whether anyone has been injured.

00:17:10There will be a fuller report later, at 10 o'clock.

00:17:14We now return you to the Tchaikovsky concert.

00:17:32It's ridiculous. I don't believe a word of it.

00:17:34Well, then I must be lying.

00:17:36No, no, no, no. I didn't say that.

00:17:38Maybe you imagined it. Perhaps you even dreamed it.

00:17:40No, Peter, it happened.

00:17:42That radio played a program that was three months old.

00:17:45Actually, more than three months old. I checked this morning.

00:17:48That shooting took place on April 2nd.

00:17:51That's not all, Peter.

00:17:53The concert the announcer interrupted.

00:17:56Tchaikovsky?

00:17:56Hmm?

00:17:57There was a Tchaikovsky concert playing on April 2nd.

00:18:02So what's your explanation?

00:18:04Oh, I don't have one.

00:18:06Except that it's got something to do with this car.

00:18:10I told you, the car's jinxed.

00:18:12No, it's not jinxed.

00:18:16Not jinxed.

00:18:17All right, it's not the car. It's you.

00:18:20Me?

00:18:21Maybe April 2nd has a special significance for you.

00:18:24Perhaps you're driving along, daydreaming.

00:18:26I was not daydreaming.

00:18:27Well, the point about daydreaming is that you don't always know that you're doing it.

00:18:32All right, April 2nd.

00:18:38Wait a minute. I remember.

00:18:40I was doing a series of ads for Kenny.

00:18:43You were out of town.

00:18:44You had to go to the country to visit some people or something.

00:18:46And Kenny took over.

00:18:48Now, why would that be significant?

00:18:50I don't.

00:18:51No, that's not the answer, Peter. I'm sure of it.

00:18:55Peter.

00:18:57Blood.

00:19:24It's brake fluid.

00:19:27The dye of that color, so it won't get mixed up.

00:19:32It shouldn't be leaking like that.

00:19:33That explains the scream.

00:19:35It's brake fluid.

00:19:44I've never opened this.

00:19:46Hmm?

00:19:46The truck.

00:19:48Boot.

00:19:49Whatever you call it, I've never seen inside of it.

00:19:53Well, it's just the spare wheel tools.

00:19:57Open it, Peter.

00:19:59Helen.

00:19:59I want to see inside.

00:20:02All right.

00:20:07It's locked.

00:20:09It's locked.

00:20:16It's locked.

00:20:34Sip is out.

00:20:36Here.

00:20:42now what are you expecting to find?

00:20:49what's in there? I told you it's the spare wheel tools. open it up. it's very sinister.

00:21:18treasure trove

00:21:27looks valuable. no paste. I don't think so. those are diamonds then it is valuable. so it's valuable.

00:21:39she lost it. she? yes I suppose it is fair to imagine unless the person lost very avant-garde.

00:21:46a woman once did own that. it doesn't have a clip. it's for a woman with pierced ears. and she

00:21:51was left-handed blonde and collected pottery. look at the part that goes through the ear.

00:21:55it's all bent out of shape. somebody's trodden it. well it was pulled off violently.

00:22:06maybe during a struggle.

00:22:11what are you driving at? I knew I was gonna find something. how could you possibly know?

00:22:16I knew. the car told me. in a breathless whisper. it has a reputation of being pretty quiet. pretty

00:22:24close-minded. don't laugh at me. what do you expect me to do? you. for the last two days you've

00:22:29been behaving

00:22:29like someone with a one-way ticket to a booby hatch. ever since i bought the car. well you must

00:22:34admit it

00:22:34has gone to your head. that car is haunted. oh wait a minute. it's possessed by a psychic presence. i

00:22:43don't

00:22:43know what those terms are. i know you're crazy. look do you prove of my selection? well look at the

00:22:47facts.

00:22:47that's what facts? you imagine streams, radio programs. i didn't imagine them. they happened.

00:22:52all those things happened. you can't explain them away. i can. i can but one simple fact of my own.

00:23:00oh darling you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

00:23:05peter. it's probably my fault. i've been pushing you too hard. driving my own ambition at the speed

00:23:13of light and not noticing what it's been doing to you. you're wrong peter. you're wrong. i don't

00:23:18care what you say. i'm gonna find out. you're gonna have the car exercise? call in the witch finder

00:23:24general darling. i'm not gonna let you make a fool of yourself. one careful owner. why didn't i think

00:23:34of that before? it's in the registration book for heaven's sake. the previous owner. here it is. john

00:24:02i'll tell mr jc you're here miss um cook. helen cook. yes miss cook. he might be a few minutes

00:24:10though. i don't like to disturb him while he's shooting. shooting? clay pigeons. mr jc is a

00:24:17very good shot miss. if it moves he really misses.

00:25:07good morning. oh good morning mr jc? uh no i'm afraid not. i'm just the hired help around here.

00:25:15freddie green. hello. i'm mr jc's secretary. aide de con you name it. flattered you should think i was

00:25:22him though. he's very rich you see. helen cook isn't it? i don't have any reason to be here except

00:25:30that hawkins the butler you know said there was an exceptionally pretty girl here to see mr jc.

00:25:36hawkins is inclined to exaggeration but not this time. can i get you a drink? well i don't. mr jc

00:25:44would want me to. promise. all right. fine sherry. all right.

00:25:52what does mr jc do? it would be easier to list what he doesn't do. oil, building, publication,

00:26:00electronics. when somebody bakes a pie he gets a finger into it. my god. what's wrong?

00:26:09but that car outside i presume it's yours looks just like the one we got rid of. it is. what?

00:26:16that is

00:28:39what happened to her? she fell in love. at least that was the conclusion.

00:28:45seen in town a couple of times with a young man. one day she'd gone. he pretends she never existed.

00:28:52and he won't get rid of the photograph. that must mean something. didn't he ever try and persuade her

00:28:59to come back? didn't know where to contact her even if he wanted to. but i doubt his pride would

00:29:03have

00:29:03let him. mind you i'll never tell him this. but he's better off without her. what do you mean?

00:29:10ah a gentleman never tells. but he is better off.

00:29:18no i think you're out of luck miss cook. what? the handbook. no sign of it. oh well it's all

00:29:26right

00:29:27thank you anyway. look i tell you what scribble your address there and if it turns up i'll let you

00:29:34know.

00:29:35all right.

00:29:45uh when did uh it happen his wife? oh not long ago. exactly when? uh three months ago.

00:29:56april 2nd? well yes it was but how did you know? listen thanks so much for your help and for

00:30:02the

00:30:02drink. goodbye now.

00:30:46hawkins? yes? you helped me check the car over before we sold it didn't you?

00:30:52that's right. the handbook was in it wasn't it?

00:30:57definitely. the glove compartment i remember distinctly. yes so do i.

00:31:11what did she want? not sure. asked about mrs jacy. you'd tell her. you'd tell her? what do you mean?

00:31:20well you'd know more about mrs jacy than most wouldn't you?

00:31:25i suppose you're happy that it's solved now. what's solved? well established a link. it's totally

00:31:31inexplicable. you'll never know the whole truth but at least. that's exactly what i intend to do.

00:31:36to find out the whole truth. but what else is there to know?

00:31:41i heard a woman scream. mrs jacy disappeared. now something happened to her. something terrible.

00:31:49now you're guessing you're just embroidering to give it a little extra drama.

00:31:55now why didn't you give that back? i'm not sure. that's stealing by finding. that's valuable if they

00:32:03find out that you. ah it's valuable now is it? i thought you said it was paste. you tell me

00:32:11jacy's

00:32:11a rich man. stands to reason his wife's jewelry would be real. i'll send it back. no no no. no.

00:32:18not yet.

00:32:25hello again. hello. you do remember me. why it seems like only this morning that we first met.

00:32:34yeah. come in. thanks. come on upstairs.

00:32:51can i repay your hospitality? uh yes i'd love a drink.

00:33:02um scotch? splendid. actually this morning's booze belonged to mr jacy's. he owns everything out there.

00:33:11even i sometimes think my soul. you live here alone? mm-hmm. it's very nice. you have taste.

00:33:24i hope it extends to men. i wondered about giving you my address. you have me all wrong.

00:33:33this is a business call. after all i promised you didn't i? promised me what? this.

00:33:40the handbook you wanted. it was at the back of the drawer.

00:34:04tell me when she went out did she take the car? helen what is this? you've done nothing but ask

00:34:09me

00:34:09questions about mrs jacy. what is your interest? morbid curiosity i guess. don't you know there

00:34:18isn't a woman alive who doesn't like scandal firsthand?

00:34:25you never answered my question. the car?

00:34:30no i thought she had taken the car but next morning it was in the garage so she couldn't have

00:34:34could she?

00:34:35she might have and you didn't know it. don't bring it back again. why? well what do the police say?

00:34:44police? well if she didn't even know then mr jacy must have called the police. well yes he called them.

00:34:52well then it all began to come out. things i already knew about her. the life she was leading.

00:34:59there were lots of men. i caught a glimpse of one of them once here in town myself. well she

00:35:05didn't see

00:35:05me of course but i saw them. well police made a search some inquiries and then came to the bitter

00:35:12truth. she'd run off. he still keeps that photograph though. well did he know about the kind of... no no

00:35:20no

00:35:21we have exhausted the topic. i absolutely refuse to answer any more questions. hello. peter. so at

00:35:27long last you got around to visiting padinos. yes. peter this is uh freddy green. freddy peter tower. good evening.

00:35:37i called you about an hour ago. we were here. you didn't tell me you had a date?

00:35:41i didn't know. you see freddy was kind enough to bring me the handbook for the car. he works for

00:35:49mr jacy.

00:35:51oh so she's got you in on it too has she? uh darling could you call me tomorrow? we were

00:35:59just about to leave. eh?

00:36:41you're a fraud miss cook.

00:36:45all that business about the handbook. just an excuse for well i don't know what.

00:36:50you are a fraud. you are a fraud. and you are a liar.

00:36:57this isn't my handbook. know why? because my handbook is downstairs in my garage.

00:37:04then i was right. so was i.

00:37:11i took it from our new car. why?

00:37:16one it was a good excuse to see you again.

00:37:19one. and two. you are up to something. something that affects mr jacy. and if it affects him it affects

00:37:27me.

00:37:28he's been good to me. trusted me. i haven't always lived up to that trust but

00:37:34he's been good to see you again. well. what is all this about?

00:37:41murder. i'm guessing but i think that's what it's about. murder? who?

00:37:50mrs jacy.

00:38:02excuse me sir. sir?

00:38:08i was just going to bed sir. i wondered if there was anything else.

00:38:14uh no that'll be all thank you hawkins.

00:38:18pretty woman.

00:38:22sir?

00:38:25that girl today. helen something.

00:38:30attractive. as you say sir.

00:38:35reminded me...

00:38:38sir?

00:38:43good night hawkins.

00:38:56well i can see you're just like peter. you don't believe a word of it do you?

00:39:00peter?

00:39:01peter tower. you met him at the restaurant tonight.

00:39:04he thinks i'm overdue for a new set of brains too.

00:39:07oh yes. peter.

00:39:11sceptical was he?

00:39:12mhm. sceptical is the understatement of the year.

00:39:16and i can see you're just the same.

00:39:18don't know.

00:39:19don't know what to make of it.

00:39:21it's a weird story. unreal.

00:39:24not to me.

00:39:26obviously not.

00:39:30something happened in that car.

00:39:32you can say that again. i used to borrow it sometimes.

00:39:37well what's the next move?

00:39:41i intend to find out what happened.

00:39:44how?

00:39:47i'm going to let the car tell me.

00:39:50now look.

00:39:51that radio broadcast i heard was originally put out at 9 42.

00:39:55so?

00:39:56so why did i hear that and only that?

00:39:59because that's when it must have happened. around 9 42.

00:40:03april the 2nd? three months ago.

00:40:06somewhere in the reigate area on the hitherton road.

00:40:09hitherton?

00:40:10that's where the car took me.

00:40:12so tomorrow night i am going to take it to that place at that time.

00:40:18and then what?

00:40:20i don't know.

00:40:22but what else is there?

00:40:25you could forget the whole thing.

00:40:27yes.

00:40:29yes that's what peter says.

00:40:32but i can't forget it.

00:40:35somehow.

00:40:38somehow it was all meant.

00:40:40yes i was wondering about that.

00:40:43i mean why you?

00:40:44why not the car salesman?

00:40:46and there must have been others who took the test run.

00:40:48why you?

00:40:49i guess because i actually own the car.

00:40:54i've never admitted this to anyone before but i didn't really want that car.

00:41:01but every time i passed the showroom i couldn't help myself but i didn't want it.

00:41:07it wanted you.

00:41:10well that's how it seemed.

00:41:13i don't know.

00:41:15i really don't.

00:41:16maybe maybe peter's right.

00:41:18maybe i am heading for a breakdown.

00:41:19you seem okay to me more than okay.

00:41:24i'd better be getting back.

00:41:28you haven't told anyone else apart from peter.

00:41:31no.

00:41:32i wouldn't if i were you.

00:41:34invites mockery.

00:41:36and you're much too nice for that.

00:41:42tomorrow night eh?

00:41:44mm-hmm.

00:41:46it'll be a waste of time.

00:41:48it's my time.

00:41:49can you move back a little bit?

00:41:50i want a low angle.

00:41:58i don't know if it was such a good idea using this car.

00:42:02well it cost a fortune.

00:42:03so far nothing but trouble.

00:42:04might as well get your money back.

00:42:05nope.

00:42:06but it's a good background.

00:42:07well there are other backgrounds.

00:42:09all right.

00:42:11i've got all i want anyway.

00:42:15what time are you leaving this evening?

00:42:17about eight.

00:42:19i'll be here dead on then.

00:42:22but peter i don't know.

00:42:23you didn't think i was going to let you go on your own did you?

00:42:25it might not work with you along.

00:42:27it's not going to work anyway.

00:42:29it's not going to work.

00:42:30why go along?

00:42:33i don't believe in ghosts.

00:42:35but i do believe in trouble.

00:42:37and it's the dark and lonely place you're going to.

00:42:43and you're a pretty girl.

00:42:46see you later.

00:42:51try on chemicals.

00:42:53start buying as soon as the market opens.

00:42:55right sir.

00:42:56and hold on the exploratory oils.

00:42:57i'll be going over to the rigs myself later on this week.

00:43:00i'll make a better judgment then.

00:43:02right.

00:43:02oh and remind me to call feasts will you?

00:43:05i'm not very happy about those end of the year figures.

00:43:08there may be some hidden explanation.

00:43:10if not i'll be selling gently over the next week or two.

00:43:14don't want to start a panic.

00:43:15bring the price down even lower.

00:43:18no.

00:43:19these magazine accounts.

00:43:21uh mr jacy.

00:43:23do you think the rest could wait until tomorrow?

00:43:25i was rather hoping to get away by eight.

00:43:28don't want to say if you wait till monday.

00:43:31there's nothing very critical.

00:43:33that's all right.

00:43:33you can go now if you want.

00:43:35thank you sir.

00:43:38a date. ready?

00:43:41sort of.

00:44:05peter i i'm sorry.

00:44:08miss cook?

00:44:09yes.

00:44:09i am hans von pianoskehart.

00:44:13oh yes.

00:44:14but you are about to go out.

00:44:15it is inconvenient.

00:44:16well i am going out in a few minutes but please come in won't you?

00:44:20thank you.

00:44:23please go about your business miss cook.

00:44:24i shall talk as you do so.

00:44:26all right.

00:44:36i uh i was just gonna take these down to the car in case it gets cold.

00:44:42of course.

00:44:43well if you'd like to come along please do mr von piers.

00:44:47hans.

00:44:48thank you.

00:44:49come on.

00:44:52not in my country.

00:44:54this is my way of a business call miss cook.

00:44:57as you know i am anxious to use you in fashion features throughout my magazines.

00:45:01i had hoped to contact you through mr tower.

00:45:05i understood he wielded some influence over your career but

00:45:09i see i am too late.

00:45:11what?

00:45:14color.

00:45:17same registration.

00:45:20what did he get in return?

00:45:23an exclusive contract to your services?

00:45:26over a long term no doubt.

00:45:28what are you talking about?

00:45:29oh come now miss cook.

00:45:31i am the wiliest of foxes.

00:45:34it is quite clear to me.

00:45:35i know this car well.

00:45:37i have written in it both with jp jc and and his delicious if obvious wife.

00:45:45mr jc.

00:45:46but surely you knew that he and i are rivals.

00:45:49in a friendly business sense.

00:45:52we are both involved amongst other things in publishing magazines.

00:45:58hmm.

00:45:59but he got to you first.

00:46:00got to me i.

00:46:03oh no no no wait a minute.

00:46:06i bought this car with my own hard-earned money.

00:46:11yes.

00:46:12perhaps in britain there are some who would accept that.

00:46:15but in my country?

00:46:18however we germans do not like to be beaten.

00:46:21the last war was enough.

00:46:23what is the value of this car?

00:46:26six.

00:46:27seven thousand.

00:46:29eight would be outrageous so that is what i shall pay.

00:46:32what?

00:46:33of course in return you will tear up whatever contract you have with jc and work for me.

00:46:43exclusively.

00:46:44well it is it is poor business.

00:46:49but you have to be compensation to outwit jp jc.

00:46:53besides this car has memories for me of jp jc and his

00:46:59his delicious but obvious wife.

00:47:06eight thousand pounds?

00:47:08that's what he offered.

00:47:10and a contract?

00:47:11that too.

00:47:11and i wasn't looking forward to this evening.

00:47:13oh helen.

00:47:14oh i love you.

00:47:16i really love you.

00:47:18but who said that women hadn't got any business acumen?

00:47:24you did?

00:47:27you turned him down.

00:47:29i turned him down.

00:47:39a solid profit and a future.

00:47:43for a ghost.

00:47:46i have to see this through peter.

00:47:54i brought a torch.

00:48:19i have to see this through m.

00:48:25of the robber.

00:48:51Helen, this is crazy.

00:48:52I didn't ask you to come along.

00:48:54Let's stop now, let's turn back before we make complete fools of ourselves.

00:49:33I saw signs of a fox near the chicken run.

00:49:36They hunt at night.

00:49:38I thought I'd follow their example.

00:49:40There's nothing worse than a fox Hawkins.

00:49:44Destruction.

00:49:45Wanton.

00:49:47They destroy everything they touch.

00:49:50Yes sir.

00:50:11Now what?

00:50:14I don't know.

00:50:16I've never been any farther than this.

00:50:23But there's nowhere else to go.

00:50:27No, just some cart tracks.

00:50:33What time is it?

00:50:36It's about 9.40.

00:50:37Exactly.

00:50:389.41.

00:51:036 grand and the radio doesn't even work.

00:51:06It isn't quite time yet.

00:51:09This has gone far enough.

00:51:11We came here, right?

00:51:14I played your little game.

00:51:16Nothing's happened.

00:51:17Nothing's going to happen.

00:51:19So let's turn this darn thing around.

00:51:28It's 9.42.

00:51:33Yes sir.

00:51:34We interrupt this program to bring you an important news item.

00:51:37A few moments ago shots were fired from the public gallery of the House of Commons.

00:51:41A man has been...

00:51:47Let's get away from here.

00:51:49No.

00:51:50No!

00:51:55I'm going to see this through.

00:51:58But to where?

00:52:01The car will decide.

00:52:29Amanda!

00:52:29And now!

00:52:30Nederland!

00:52:30Peter!

00:54:04It's stalled.

00:54:07No.

00:54:10It's taken us as far as we need to go.

00:54:13This is the end of the line.

00:54:18But here?

00:54:19There's nothing.

00:54:22There's nothing.

00:54:52there's something over there we're right in line with it and there's no road in

00:55:01the car couldn't take us any further you coming

00:55:33yeah

00:55:34yeah

00:55:35yeah

00:55:37yeah

00:57:26I WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING

00:57:43that was a shot. go and keep it perhaps. has it occurred to you that we're

00:57:47probably trespassing?

00:58:03yes yes I'll tell him as soon as he gets back. thank you destructive wantonly

00:58:14destructive. good shooting sir but I don't think you were the only one prowling

00:58:19around tonight sir. what? mrs. Vincent just telephoned her from the lodge cottage she

00:58:24swears she saw a light in the old ruined house. a light? someone sleeping rough I

00:58:29suppose. all the same I think I'd better take a look. would you like me to come

00:58:33along with you sir? I mean you never know these days. might be someone dangerous. I

00:58:39can handle it.

00:58:46are you satisfied? it brought us here. it meant us to come in. and you searched the

00:58:53whole place. now come on Helen. I don't understand it. neither do I. but one thing I

00:58:57do know we're going back to town and tomorrow you're gonna sell that car and

00:59:00forget about the whole thing. it brought us here for a reason. a reason that you

00:59:03can't find because it doesn't exist. now look Helen I'm beginning to lose patience.

00:59:18focus right there.

00:59:25it's over.

00:59:37it's over.

00:59:40I knew she was here somewhere.

00:59:44all this time she's been crying out to be found. I was right all along.

00:59:53yes I know.

00:59:55that's the pity of you.

00:59:58because I do love you. you know I really do love you.

01:00:02Peter.

01:00:09she might have stayed there hidden for years and years.

01:00:12perhaps forever. but now there'd be a hero in crying. I can't afford that.

01:00:19oh Peter.

01:00:22why?

01:00:24Jaycee leads a group of magazines. I wanted in. so I thought.

01:00:29get to the wife. get to the man. but it went wrong.

01:00:33it became serious for her.

01:00:35she was actually going to tell her husband. I couldn't have that.

01:00:38I would have completely ruined my chances. so I...

01:00:42I let her take me for a drive.

01:00:47after...

01:00:49after it was over.

01:00:51I took her back to the house.

01:00:54that car.

01:00:56that damned car. why did you have to buy it?

01:01:01she made me.

01:01:04to get to you.

01:01:07I was the link.

01:01:08I told you to get rid of it.

01:01:11I told you to sell that car.

01:01:16I do love you.

01:01:19I do love you.

01:01:22but I have to.

01:01:24I have to.

01:01:25no.

01:01:40I recognized him in the restaurant last night.

01:01:43he was the one I saw with mrs. Jaycee.

01:06:15When I was out driving just a little while ago, I was on a country road and there was nothing

01:06:21around, and all of a sudden I heard a scream.

01:06:27No.

01:06:29It was inside the car.

01:06:31Really.

01:06:33Right inside.

01:06:56I tried to turn the wheel, and it wouldn't. It just kept going.

01:07:01Maybe you imagined it. Perhaps you even dreamed it.

01:07:07Actually, more than three months old.
