00:06:52Miss Stephens?
00:06:54Yes?
00:06:55Your friends called me.
00:06:57What?
00:06:58Mr. and Mrs. Holland.
00:07:00They were on their way back from town.
00:07:02Their car broke down.
00:07:04So they'll be delayed.
00:07:05So they want you to go on and let yourself in.
00:07:09The key's under the mat.
00:07:12It isn't very far, Miss.
00:07:18Turn right out to the station.
00:07:20And it's the first house, you see.
00:07:22About a quarter of a mile.
00:07:25Everything all right, Miss?
00:07:27Oh, yes, thank you.
00:07:55Just a minute.
00:07:59Can I have your ticket, please?
00:08:15Oh, no.

00:15:21Let's go.
00:15:22Let's go.
00:15:22Let's go.
00:15:24I see.
00:15:26Well, thank you for ringing.
00:15:30It's the hospital.
00:15:32No change.
00:15:35It's Stevens.
00:15:38Stevens.
00:15:42Look, I just want to find the man.
00:15:48I want to find that bad man you've been talking about.
00:15:56And you are going to help me find him, aren't you?
00:16:01Stevens, you don't have to be frightened of me. I'm a police officer.
00:16:08See?
00:16:27I'm a police officer.
00:16:30I'm a police officer.
00:16:32I'm a police officer.
00:16:37I'm a police officer.
00:16:38You haven't found it yet?
00:16:39No. The axe.
00:16:41Nor him.
00:16:43Funny, though.
00:16:44Hmm?
00:16:44I thought it was a good one.
00:16:45I thought we would have found it.
00:16:46Well, judging from her injuries, he didn't use the axe on her.
00:16:50I sort of assumed she took it to defend herself.
00:16:52Well, if she did, it didn't do much good.
00:16:55Oh, no.
00:16:58Probably put his prints on it during the struggle.
00:17:01He did...
00:17:02Well, what he did...
00:17:04Ran out through here,
00:17:07remembered the axe,
00:17:08and came back for it.
00:17:10How do you know that?
00:17:11Well, I don't just guess him.
00:17:12But there was mud on this carpet.
00:17:15I wonder why he didn't kill her.
00:17:19Well, he might as well have.
00:17:21They've taken her to Corby Hall.
00:17:22I know.
00:17:23But she's not mad, is she?
00:17:25Not very disturbed.
00:17:27No wonder after what happened to her.
00:17:28But as a woman, you must understand that.
00:17:31I think of poor Nicky in a place like that.
00:17:33No, darling, it isn't a place like that.
00:17:36No, Mrs Holt.
00:17:37Corby Hall's the best in the country.
00:17:39They're most expensive.
00:17:40The Americans are showing their customary generosity.
00:17:43The Embassy is paying all the bills.
00:17:44Yes, but poor Nicky...
00:17:45They'll make her well again, Mrs Holt.
00:17:48Well enough, I hope, to be able to talk to me.
00:17:50And then, I'll nail him.
00:18:05I understand she has no family.
00:18:07None to speak with her.
00:18:08A couple of distant aunts, she must have.
00:18:10I think we're the nearest thing for family she has.
00:18:12But I go visit her often.
00:18:13It's important she does not feel lonely, isolated, or any way.
00:18:17Yes, of course we will.
00:18:18We come every weekend.
00:18:20Can I go and talk to her?
00:18:21Yes, but any bright things, please.
00:18:28Not you, Mr Holt, if you don't mind.
00:18:32For the time being, it's best she has any female contact.
00:18:46Dr Ward.
00:18:53How long is this going to take?
00:18:55The progress is slow, but over the next few months, I hope she may...
00:19:00Few months?
00:19:00I'd say six, at least.
00:19:02But then she will be completely well again.
00:19:05Well, the experience she's been through.
00:19:06There must be scars, of course.
00:19:08But she will be a perfectly normal and healthy young woman again.
00:19:18Detective Constable Wallace, sir.
00:19:20Oh, good.
00:19:21Need your help.
00:19:22It'll be dangerous.
00:19:24Hmm.
00:19:24Not that dangerous.
00:19:26Not if these reports aren't here anything to cover.
00:19:39Well, now, er, Councillor Wallace.
00:19:42What I want from you is...
00:19:46Why don't you sit down?
00:19:48I'm very pleased with you, Nicola.
00:19:50Very pleased indeed.
00:19:51You see, cure is a two-way process.
00:19:56We can lead, offer, direct.
00:19:58But ultimately, it must come from you.
00:20:01The need to be cured must be of your own volition.
00:20:04And there is no doubt that you are meeting us more than halfway.
00:20:07You are doing very well.
00:20:12But perhaps the most important factor of all is time.
00:20:17Time to forget.
00:20:19Time to re-adjust.
00:20:23I'm sure it's going to be good news.
00:20:25Don't build any hopes.
00:20:26They said be prepared for a surprise.
00:20:27I know, but don't build any...
00:20:29Don't build up any hopes.
00:20:29Yes, I know.
00:20:30You've already said that about half a dozen times.
00:20:33Really, darling.
00:20:33You're beginning to sound like a needle stuck in a groove.
00:20:35That doesn't help date you.
00:20:37But then I always do go for the elder woman.
00:20:40I'm sure we're going to see a great change in Nicky.
00:20:54She nearly ran me off my feet.
00:20:56Oh, Nicola's making commendable progress.
00:20:58I said we'd ask her out for dinner.
00:21:00Oh.
00:21:02I think that would be a splendid idea.
00:21:04Why didn't you tell her, Mr. Holt?
00:21:06Me?
00:21:07I told you she was making commendable progress.
00:21:13Doctor, when can she leave?
00:21:15Geoff and I want to take her home with this sort of convalescence.
00:21:17When can it be?
00:21:17Not yet.
00:21:19But it's been nearly four months.
00:21:21I'll tell you when, Mrs. Holt.
00:21:23You mustn't feel responsible, you know,
00:21:26if you'd been home that night.
00:21:28It wasn't really your fault.
00:21:31But I do feel responsible.
00:21:35And I want her out of here.
00:21:38Back home with us.
00:21:40She's not ready yet.
00:21:41You only see her during the day, Mrs. Holt.
00:21:45We see her at night.
00:22:03Well, I can't be back here.
00:22:09Look at her.
00:22:09This is a hotel on my own head.
00:22:12You should have seen one night.
00:22:12It's that kind of night.
00:22:12There she is.
00:22:14Look at her.
00:22:15You should have seen her.
00:22:15She's drunk.
00:22:16Now, she's drunk.
00:22:16She's drunk.
00:22:16She's drunk.
00:22:16You must have said she's drunk.
00:22:16She's drunk.
00:22:17She's drunk.
00:22:19She's drunk.
00:23:33Oh, wow.
00:23:35You've been tangling with our Miss Wallace, have you?
00:23:38Well, she's taller than me.
00:23:39More prepossessant.
00:23:41Prettier.
00:23:42But me, I'm much nastier.
00:23:45I'm sorry, Inspector.
00:23:45I think it's out of the question.
00:23:47But, Dr. Ward, I have the man.
00:23:48I've got him.
00:23:50Now, obviously, he denies everything.
00:23:52But if Miss Stevens were to make a positive identification...
00:23:54Doctor, the most terrifying thing that can happen to a woman has happened to her.
00:24:00And we have spent nearly six long months trying to eradicate it from her mind so that she can forget
00:24:05it.
00:24:07And begin again.
00:24:09And now you want to make her remember.
00:24:13I can't stop you.
00:24:14I can't forbid you.
00:24:16But the responsibility will be yours.
00:24:23The mind is tough, Inspector.
00:24:27It is resilient, but it is also extremely delicate.
00:24:30Like everything else, it will take so much.
00:24:32And then it snaps.
00:24:34The responsibility must be yours.
00:24:43Well, I'll have to see what I can do without her.
00:24:47After all, he was arrested attempting an assault.
00:24:49I'll main it.
00:24:50Thank you, Inspector.
00:24:53Doctor.
00:25:09Get me, Mrs. Hull.
00:25:30How do you feel?
00:25:31About to go start staring mad.
00:25:34You have asked me that at least a dozen times.
00:25:37I'm sorry.
00:25:37I'm concerned about you, that's all.
00:25:39Well, you don't have to be on fire.
00:25:41I'm just fine.
00:25:41I absolutely promise.
00:25:43We're nearly there.
00:25:45Jess' meeting is at the station.
00:25:46And he's threatened to cook dinner, so that means you'll probably have to eat out.
00:25:50Would it worry you?
00:25:52I mean, being suddenly pushed amongst people again.
00:25:54But it wasn't people that put me away, Werner.
00:25:57Just one man.
00:25:58You don't have to worry about him.
00:26:00You've caught him.
00:26:01Caught him?
00:26:02Forget it.
00:26:03But you said...
00:26:04My big mouth as usual.
00:26:05Dr. Ward said you weren't to be reminded of it.
00:26:07Well, why not?
00:26:08It happened.
00:26:08It happened to me.
00:26:11So they've caught him.
00:26:12Look, Mickey, they've caught a man.
00:26:14Nothing's been proved.
00:26:15Yet it might not even be the man.
00:26:18And if it is, all he'll get is a few years behind bars that's British justice for you.
00:26:24American, too, I suppose.
00:26:25No.
00:26:26In some states, you might still get the gas chamber.
00:26:29Or the electric chair.
00:26:31Look, Mickey, I think Dr. Ward was right.
00:26:34Let's forget it, eh?
00:26:41Why don't you and Jeff have a baby?
00:26:43You're married.
00:26:44You're in love.
00:26:45It's the perfect way.
00:26:47Well, we plan to eventually.
00:26:49Well, don't wait.
00:26:50I mean, don't leave it till it's too late.
00:26:53No.
00:26:53We're there.
00:27:07Are you okay?
00:27:20Jeff!
00:27:23Jeff!
00:27:25Nicky!
00:27:27You look great.
00:27:29Doesn't she?
00:27:30Off we go.
00:27:34Everything I said.
00:27:35Everything is beautiful, madam.
00:27:37A treat awaits you.
00:28:08All right.
00:28:10Bye.
00:28:10Bye.
00:28:10Bye.
00:28:11Bye.
00:28:13Bye.
00:28:18Bye.
00:28:40Oh, you've redecorated.
00:28:42We were going to anyway.
00:28:43Anyway.
00:28:44Oh, this was Dr. Ward's idea, wasn't it?
00:28:47Yes.
00:28:48Now, Ward said we were perfectly honest,
00:28:50answer all questions with total honesty,
00:28:52so yes, it was his idea.
00:28:54And we were going to do it anyway.
00:28:55You see, we got him in a cleft stick.
00:28:57It was a fine idea for you to be coming to stay with us,
00:28:59but a bad idea for you to...
00:29:02To come back to where it happened.
00:29:04Well, I think it's an improvement.
00:29:06I mean, your colours are so much brighter.
00:29:09And your rearrangement of furniture.
00:29:13It's all so much better.
00:29:15Well, you get some drinks ready, darling.
00:29:16I have spaghetti bolognese to it.
00:29:20Oh, God.
00:29:23Oh, wasn't that just about the best bolognese you ever tasted?
00:29:26It was the best today, I can promise you that.
00:29:31I had an idea.
00:29:32I thought I might take a few days off,
00:29:33drive you around a bit, buy you lunch.
00:29:35Oh, and there's a race meeting over in Porton.
00:29:37Would you like to go?
00:29:38Well, I certainly would.
00:29:39It would give me an excuse for buying a new hat.
00:29:42I'm sure Nicky would enjoy it.
00:29:45Yeah, of course she would.
00:29:46And if the weather's fine, we can bring a picnic lunch.
00:29:49One condition.
00:29:50That I prepare the food.
00:29:52I don't think they've caught him.
00:29:54He's too clever.
00:29:56Nicky, of course they've caught him.
00:29:57It was in the papers.
00:29:58No.
00:29:59I promise you, they've caught him.
00:30:02Well, they can't have.
00:30:04Because I've just seen him.
00:30:07On the train.
00:30:08He was on the train.
00:30:22Hello, Charles here.
00:30:24No, yes, Mr. Holt.
00:30:26What?
00:30:30Yes, I see.
00:30:31The other right of way.
00:30:34I saw him.
00:30:35As clear as I'm seeing you now.
00:30:37The same man.
00:30:38But you didn't mention it to Mrs. Holt here.
00:30:40In fact, you didn't mention it at all.
00:30:42Well, too much, much later.
00:30:44I was confused.
00:30:45I wasn't sure.
00:30:46Ah.
00:30:48You weren't sure?
00:30:49Yes.
00:30:50But, well,
00:30:53Jeff and Werner have been so kind to me
00:30:54and I didn't want to make a fuss.
00:30:55Well, this was the man who attacked you, Miss Stevens.
00:30:58I didn't want to make a fuss.
00:31:01More mistake?
00:31:03Oh, we'll look into it.
00:31:04You can be sure of that.
00:31:09Inspector.
00:31:11Do you think she made a mistake?
00:31:13Well, perhaps not a mistake, exactly.
00:31:17Mrs. Holt,
00:31:18the man who attacked those women,
00:31:19who attacked Miss Stevens,
00:31:20is in my office now.
00:31:21He's been formally charged.
00:31:22Well, then surely...
00:31:23Now, he's made a full confession.
00:31:24He's admitted to attacking Nicky.
00:31:25Well, funnily enough,
00:31:26no denies that with the other women, yes.
00:31:28He's made a confession and I'm satisfied.
00:31:30But Nicky is...
00:31:31Mrs. Holt, before I came here,
00:31:32I telephoned Dr. Ward.
00:31:34What?
00:31:34Miss Stevens is better.
00:31:37Much better.
00:31:38But she's still not completely herself.
00:31:41Delusion.
00:31:42Disturbed.
00:31:43It's to be expected.
00:31:45But you seem so sure.
00:31:46I'm sorry, I can't act on just her.
00:31:49I can't agree with you, Mr. Watson.
00:31:51That's part of the reason
00:31:52I don't intend calling her at the trial.
00:31:54Part of me'd like to.
00:31:55But the other part says,
00:31:56beware, hold on,
00:31:58she could lose you the whole case.
00:31:59The testimony of a woman
00:32:00who's disturbed that's something I can't read.
00:32:02Nicky is not mad.
00:32:02Perhaps technically no,
00:32:03but a good defence counsel
00:32:04could tear her to shreds.
00:32:07Look, you take it from me.
00:32:09The man who attacked her
00:32:10is safely under lock and key.
00:32:12Well, good night, Mrs. Holt.
00:32:14Sir?
00:32:14Good night, Inspector.
00:32:15Thank you for coming.
00:33:09I have to say,
00:33:10I know you don't want to...
00:33:14Nicky, darling, it's all right.
00:33:19It's all right.
00:33:41I went back home with a pop and ball of gin.
00:33:45Well, it was a great day, wasn't it?
00:33:47And I'll tell you something, I'm glad we didn't back any winners.
00:33:50Anybody can back winners.
00:33:51And he has real skill to back a card full of losers.
00:33:54That's a talent we certainly have.
00:33:55Well, I think we've got value for money,
00:33:58the thunder of fools, the sunshine, the excitement,
00:34:01and quite a nice picnic.
00:34:03Which I prepared.
00:34:04Oh, which you prepared.
00:34:05And for which I'd love to kiss you.
00:34:07Do that day
00:34:12I bet my money on the boyati
00:34:15Somebody bet on the bay
00:34:33You have no idea what triggered the attack?
00:34:36I know she has nightmares at night but this was during the day yes yes well
00:34:43make sure she has her sedation and let me know if it happens again special
00:34:48measures no mrs Holt just continue to treat her gently and humor her little
00:34:55whims where necessary yes we will thank you doctor

00:48:39Oh, my God.
00:48:42Oh, my God.
00:49:11A certain indignation.
00:49:15Usually, I allow an hour for such, but I have now been waiting, too.
00:49:22Well, I am busy.
00:49:23I can see that.
00:49:39I'll just sit here.
00:49:45So that you don't forget me.
00:49:52Don't let me disturb you.
00:49:57Oh, my God.
00:50:02Oh, my God.
00:50:17Oh, my God.
00:50:23Oh, my God.
00:50:24Oh, my God.
00:50:35Oh, my God.
00:50:46All right, now Mr. Bolsan, Hanrat Bolsan, this is merely a courtesy visit because I wish to make
00:50:56some inquiries in this area, and I do not wish to tread on your official toes.
00:51:01I am trying to find a man, a German citizen who came to this country more than six months
00:51:10ago and has not been seen since.
00:51:12Oh, but no official inquiries.
00:51:13Please, you wouldn't.
00:51:15The purpose of his visit took him to London, and it is there where the inquiries are concentrated.
00:51:21Why come here?
00:51:22Because he once met a girl on holiday, and she lives here in Salford.
00:51:27Simple then, do I ask her?
00:51:29Not so simple.
00:51:30All I know is her name is Sarah, and she lives in Salford.
00:51:34I don't think he knew any more than that, but it is possible that he thought Salford being
00:51:41a small town.
00:51:43Break his journey, ask around, find her.
00:51:47Exactly.
00:51:50What do you want from me?
00:51:52Your official blessing.
00:51:55The opportunity to sniff around, ask a few questions.
00:51:59Hmm.
00:52:00Who is this man?
00:52:01He will stand out like a saw sum.
00:52:04Good appearance.
00:52:06Well set up.
00:52:16I always need to thaw out afterwards.
00:52:19There's a pub across the way.
00:52:20I'll stand your scotch.
00:52:21Thank you, Inspector, but I think I should pursue my inquiries with all possible speed.
00:52:25Makes a change.
00:52:26Most of the private fellows I know are always keen to stretch the case out, pushing up the
00:52:29expenses.
00:52:30Yes, but I have a small vested interest.
00:52:32Oh?
00:52:32Yes.
00:52:33Very small.
00:52:33About that high.
00:52:34Blonde.
00:52:35She lives in Munich.
00:52:37I see.
00:52:38I see.
00:52:55I see.
00:52:58I see.
00:52:59I see.
00:53:01I see.
00:53:26I see.
00:53:54They're out.
00:53:55I mean, Mr. and Mrs. Holt.
00:53:56They're out.
00:53:57I mean, Mr. and Mrs. Holt.
00:53:57You're all on your own.
00:53:58No.
00:54:00They're in the garden.
00:54:05I didn't see them.
00:54:06Yes, they're there.
00:54:07Behind the shed.
00:54:08They are there.
00:54:31They're in the garden.
00:54:32Well, you must be mistaken.
00:54:33Well, certainly not.
00:54:46No!
00:54:47Oh!
00:54:49Oh!
00:54:50Oh!
00:54:51Oh!
00:54:52Oh!
00:54:53Oh!
00:54:54Oh!
00:54:56Oh!
00:54:56Oh!
00:54:57Oh!
00:54:57Oh!
00:55:07excuse me i wonder if you ever remember seeing this man
00:55:13it would be a remarkable feat of memory if you did more than six months ago
00:55:17last february possibly a lighting from a london trade
00:55:23sorry please to study it again a man alone he may have seemed uncertain lost
00:55:40yes chap with a ticket what chap at first i thought he was trying to get past me
00:55:47without a ticket and then you discovered he just did not understand you that's
00:55:53right how did you know that when one puts two and two together my friend it
00:56:00inevitably makes four
00:56:27you
00:56:31you
00:56:32you
00:56:32you
01:00:24He's dead.
01:00:26He's dead at last.
01:00:48Mark down.
01:00:52Do you know this man?
01:00:54Very slightly.
01:00:57He used the phone the other evening when his car broke.
01:01:23Here we go.
01:01:46The police.
01:01:52Two men attacked, two dead.
01:01:56Well, at least the chap we arrested was the right man.
01:01:59But she didn't even see.
01:02:00No, she saw was a newspaper report about a fair-haired man.
01:02:03And along came my man, a foreigner, trying to find his way.
01:02:06He just happened to have fair hair.
01:02:10He just happened to fit her fantasies.
01:02:12A fantasy.
01:02:14A terrible delusion.
01:02:17After the imagined assault, she began to see the man she imagined had attacked her in every man.
01:02:23To see his face in every face.
01:02:26But why?
01:02:27An imagined assault.
01:02:29Fear.
01:02:30Of what?
01:02:32Some childhood incident.
01:02:35A half-forgotten experience.
01:02:38Imagination.
01:02:40The human brain can torture and torment itself to destruction.
01:02:46I doubt we shall ever know.
01:03:09The human brain is doing the thing.
01:03:26No!
01:03:27Help! Help!
