00:00:05The End
00:00:38The End
00:01:09The End
00:01:45Well, I'm beginning to remember. Some of it's coming back.
00:01:51I was a passenger in this car. Just a passenger.
00:01:56But we already know that, Chris.
00:01:58Well, there's more.
00:02:01I was first mate on an American cargo ship.
00:02:04We docked in Liverpool and I was hitchhiking to London.
00:02:08What was the name of the ship?
00:02:11Pride of Illinois.
00:02:14Where did you sail from?
00:02:16New York City.
00:02:18The captain's name?
00:02:22Barlow. Captain Jason Barlow. Yeah, a big man with a beard.
00:02:25He and I didn't get along too well.
00:02:27I'd gotten into some trouble when we were docked in Rio.
00:02:29I'd been ashore and...
00:02:30Chris, you're making it up.
00:02:37Yeah, that's true.
00:02:41Why?
00:02:46When you were trying so hard, I thought you deserved something.
00:02:50I didn't want you to get discouraged.
00:02:52There's still nothing.
00:02:54I'm sorry. Nothing.
00:02:59It's like looking down a long tunnel.
00:03:00There's a glimmer way down at the end somewhere.
00:03:03But it's too far away to know what it is.
00:03:06I was born four months ago.
00:03:07By the side of a road.
00:03:09Anything that went before happened to somebody else.
00:03:11I can't remember a thing.
00:03:14I'm sorry, Chris.
00:03:15I've done all I can.
00:03:18Time is the only weapon we have left now.
00:03:20But you must keep fighting.
00:03:23Somewhere up there has stored the memory of a third of a lifetime.
00:03:26Maybe I'm better off without that.
00:03:27It'll come.
00:03:29Give it time.
00:03:30How much time?
00:03:32I mean, without a past, I have no future.
00:03:35How long can a man live in a void without going nuts?
00:03:39I'm sorry, Chris.
00:03:40I've done all I can.
00:03:46Don't get me wrong.
00:03:47I appreciate everything you've done for me.
00:03:49The arm and the leg are back to normal.
00:03:51My skull seems to have knitted itself together again.
00:03:54I think you and everyone here did a remarkable job saving as much of me as you did.
00:03:59I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.
00:04:02Which brings up another point.
00:04:03I know exactly what you're going to say, and I still don't know the answer.
00:04:07Every week, the money arrives by post.
00:04:09The instructions are always the same.
00:04:11To be used for your treatment here.
00:04:14The balance to be handed to you when you leave, and the balance is considerable.
00:04:18There's something else you don't know about, too.
00:04:21Your anonymous benefactor doesn't intend to stop there.
00:04:25The flat's been rented for you.
00:04:28Here's the address and the key.
00:04:36Well, there's an old expression about not looking a gift horse in the mouth.
00:04:39A very apt one.
00:04:41Normally, at this point, I'd tell you to go home.
00:04:45But, as neither of us know where your home is, I say use this flat.
00:04:49Have lots of rest.
00:04:51Relax.
00:04:52And get well.
00:04:54But remember, Chris, you've been very close to death.
00:04:56So, take everything gently.
00:04:58Take what comes as it comes.
00:05:01And watch yourself.
00:05:03Don't let your mind start to play tricks.
00:05:07Like what?
00:05:09The mind is capable of all sorts of devilment.
00:05:14Just sounds like a polite way of confirming what I just said.
00:05:18That I could go nuts.
00:05:19I didn't mean that.
00:05:21Fractured skull is not something to make light of.
00:05:26Did I see you before you go?
00:05:28Of course.
00:05:29Have you packed?
00:05:32Well, I imagine Nurse McConnell's taking care of that.
00:05:34Oh, yes, I understand.
00:05:35Nurse McConnell has looked after you very well.
00:05:38See you later.
00:05:45Oh, damn.
00:05:46Temper, temper.
00:05:49Gee, you let me down.
00:05:50I told Dr. Keller you'd have me all packed.
00:05:52Yes, and I don't know why I bother about you at all.
00:05:54You have been more trouble than 14 other patients put together.
00:05:58Maybe it's my American charm.
00:05:59The conceit of some men.
00:06:02Well, are you all clear with Dr. Keller?
00:06:04Oh, yeah.
00:06:04Certified, sane, and let loose on an unsuspecting world.
00:06:07Where are you going to live?
00:06:09A place called Richmond Court.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:11My mysterious benefactor has fixed me up an apartment there.
00:06:14Well, you're very lucky.
00:06:16You don't know what it's like trying to find accommodation in London.
00:06:19Well, I don't know much of anything.
00:06:20I can't even remember my name.
00:06:26I can't imagine you not remembering a face like this.
00:06:31Well, as I've said before, I probably never even knew her.
00:06:35You may have been all kinds of a character,
00:06:37but I don't think you were the type to tear out magazine photographs.
00:06:41Unless there was a good reason.
00:06:45I might have been married to her.
00:06:48Something tells me you are not the marrying kind.
00:06:51How can you say a thing like that?
00:06:55Well, anyway, I've got plenty of time to find out.
00:06:58If you're married.
00:07:01Well, to find out who I am, who she is,
00:07:04why the picture was the only thing found on me after the accident, etc.
00:07:07Who's paying for the apartment?
00:07:09I've got enough to keep me busy for six months.
00:07:12Look, where do we start?
00:07:19Look, there's plenty of time to worry about we
00:07:21when I've found out more about me.
00:07:24I've got to do it by myself, at least in the beginning.
00:07:27All right, Chris.
00:07:28If that's what you want.
00:07:32Look, these are your new pills.
00:07:34Whenever you feel a headache coming on,
00:07:36you take one of each immediately.
00:07:38All right?
00:07:39Yes, nurse.
00:07:40Can I go now?
00:07:43I'll get the porter.
00:07:45You, uh, forgot something.
00:07:47What?
00:07:51Unless you want me to kiss you goodbye
00:07:52in front of the whole clinic.
00:07:54Great.
00:08:02Hey, what you mean?
00:08:04I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:08:05I always cry goodbye.
00:08:08Silly, isn't it?
00:08:10No, I don't think so.
00:08:13I'll go and get your taxi.
00:08:19Where do you want to go?
00:08:24Oh, um...
00:08:2564 Charing Cross Road.
00:08:35It's lovely, quite lovely.
00:08:37I can understand your concern.
00:08:39Oh, yes, indeed.
00:08:39I can fully understand your concern.
00:08:42Oh, and it all seems quite straightforward,
00:08:44Mr, um, Smith.
00:08:47Smith.
00:08:48Quite.
00:08:49Now, let me go over it just once more.
00:08:51You're interested in finding out two things.
00:08:53One, who's paying for your medical treatment at the clinic,
00:08:56and two, the whereabouts of this beautiful lady.
00:09:00Does that cover it?
00:09:01Hmm, how soon can you let me know?
00:09:03Oh, hold on a moment, sir.
00:09:05Hold on.
00:09:06I said straightforward.
00:09:08Not easy.
00:09:08Oh, no, not by a long chalk.
00:09:10Not easy at all.
00:09:12Now, take this first item.
00:09:14What do we have to go on?
00:09:15You say that the money was always sent by postal draft.
00:09:19Untraceable.
00:09:20And as for this,
00:09:22what does it mean?
00:09:23What does it mean?
00:09:27That's why I came to you.
00:09:29I want you to find out.
00:09:31Ah, of course it is, yes.
00:09:32And find out we most certainly will.
00:09:35Now, is there anything else I ought to know about yourself,
00:09:38for example?
00:09:40Why?
00:09:41Well, if I know the kind of person I'm trying to help,
00:09:43the helping comes easier.
00:09:44I mean, for instance,
00:09:47why do you want to find the lady?
00:09:49Not breach of promise, is it?
00:09:53Now,
00:09:55dispute over conjugal rights?
00:09:59So, we'll manage.
00:10:01We'll manage somehow.
00:10:03Well, there doesn't seem to be anything more to discuss,
00:10:05except the fees, of course.
00:10:08Shall we say,
00:10:1015 guineas a day,
00:10:11and expenses?
00:10:15Let's say,
00:10:1510 guineas a day,
00:10:16you pay your own expenses.
00:10:18That'll be most satisfactory.
00:10:20And I can reach you at,
00:10:22where is it?
00:10:23Ah, yes.
00:10:24Apartment 2,
00:10:25the penthouse,
00:10:26Richmond Court.
00:10:28I'll partner.
00:10:29I know.
00:10:34I don't know.
00:10:38I can't afford.
00:10:40I don't care.
00:42:33May I take you.
00:44:54Yeah.
00:45:28Come on.
01:07:02Chris.
01:07:33Look at you.
01:08:31All right.
01:09:31I've come to see you.
01:10:27Chris.
01:10:30Chris?
01:12:05What's gone wrong.
01:12:36Didn't you hear me?
01:13:51I was going to say,
01:14:05I'm going to talk.
01:14:24I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
01:15:07I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
01:15:18I'm going to say, go with you.
01:15:27to coin a phrase.
01:15:31Chris, darling.
01:15:33Where have you been?
01:15:35Waiting.
01:15:36Dr. Keller's gone to pick you up.
01:15:37Yes, I know. I saw him go.
01:15:39Where did you call from?
01:15:41In a box across the street.
01:15:46Where's Gina?
01:15:48She's not here.
01:15:49Can I get you something before I go?
01:15:51Well, please don't go.
01:15:53I really should.
01:15:54Well, I'd rather you stay.
01:15:56Well, now that I know you're all right,
01:15:58and Dr. Keller will be back to look after you.
01:16:02Good night.
01:16:02Good night.
01:16:05Why don't you try the bowl on top, sweetheart?
01:16:12What's the matter, Chris?
01:16:14Well, I'm mad, remember?
01:16:16Don't make silly jokes.
01:16:19I'm not.
01:16:21I even killed someone.
01:16:23Didn't I?
01:16:25I don't want to hear any more.
01:16:28I thought I killed you.
01:16:30That's ridiculous.
01:16:33It's what you wanted, wasn't it?
01:16:35I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:37Look, Dr. Keller will be here soon.
01:16:39He'll look after you.
01:16:40Until then, Chris,
01:16:41I think you should have a little rest.
01:16:46You know, you're right.
01:16:47You aren't well.
01:16:48You're sick.
01:16:50No, I'm not.
01:16:55You said yourself you weren't well,
01:16:57and you're not.
01:16:59Look at what's been happening to you.
01:17:01Strange voices.
01:17:04Hallucinations.
01:17:05And your memory.
01:17:06Why, you don't even have a memory.
01:17:09Oh, but I have.
01:17:11And I've had it for a long time.
01:17:14Since three weeks after the accident, to be precise.
01:17:21Well, aren't you even going to ask me why I kept up the act?
01:17:25Well, I'll tell you anyway.
01:17:26You see, I was, uh, kind of loafing around Europe.
01:17:29Nobody.
01:17:30No job, no prospects, and very little money.
01:17:33And suddenly, one morning, I wake up in a hospital.
01:17:36I had a broken arm and leg and a fractured skull.
01:17:39Well, I was being very well taken care of,
01:17:41and somebody else was footing the bills,
01:17:42so if I'd given that up,
01:17:44I really would have been out of my mind, wouldn't I have?
01:17:47But you see, I am a true cynic,
01:17:48and I knew that there were strings attached,
01:17:50and I wanted to find out what they were.
01:17:53But I no sooner got out of the hospital,
01:17:55I began to hear strange voices
01:17:58and see things in people that weren't there.
01:18:00Can you imagine that?
01:18:01You know, you almost had me believing
01:18:03I was going out of my mind.
01:18:05I didn't know it was the pills Dr. Keller was giving me.
01:18:09And that great, big, fat, special knockout pill
01:18:13you gave me earlier this evening.
01:18:15You took quite a chance.
01:18:18Oh, no. I never take chances.
01:18:23Oh, now I know you don't love me.
01:18:25I'm not joking, Chris.
01:18:27Out on the terrace.
01:18:29I'll kill you.
01:18:42Outside.
01:19:22Please wait inside, madam.
01:19:53Well, thank you very much.
01:19:53Mr. Hemmings.
01:19:55Although I must say,
01:19:56I'm not enamored of your sense of the dramatic.
01:19:59Mr. Smith?
01:20:00No, thank you.
01:20:02As you have probably gathered,
01:20:03Mr. Hemmings works for him.
01:20:04Only just though, eh?
01:20:06I really am most terribly sorry
01:20:07about the little set-toe we had the other day.
01:20:10I do sincerely hate violence.
01:20:12A misunderstanding.
01:20:13What more can I say?
01:20:14A clever man, Mr. Hemmings.
01:20:16He had the pills analyzed that Dr. Keller gave me.
01:20:18Well, it seemed the natural thing to do.
01:20:19Tell her what you found.
01:20:20A mild narcotic.
01:20:22Nothing drastic, you understand.
01:20:24Sufficient to cause headaches and hallucinations.
01:20:27But surely you must have known.
01:20:28Oh, she knew.
01:20:30And now?
01:20:31Well, any minute, Dr. Keller's going to find out
01:20:33that I'm not waiting for him in that pub.
01:20:36He'll probably be on the phone.
01:20:38I want you to answer it and tell him that I'm here.
01:20:41And that's all I want you to say.
01:20:43Do I make myself clear?
01:20:46What are you going to do?
01:20:49Why don't you just sit there like a nice little girl
01:20:51and see what happens?
01:21:03He's not here.
01:21:05Has anything happened?
01:21:09Speak up.
01:21:09I can't hear you.
01:21:10I said he's here.
01:21:12Here in the apartment.
01:21:14Look, there's pills.
01:21:17Give him another of the ones you gave him earlier.
01:21:20Then leave.
01:21:22I look after everything.
01:21:28She's coming.
01:21:33I'll tell you.
01:21:36She'll be with me.
01:21:41And that's all.
01:21:46She장이 citizens.
01:21:47I'm just trying something.
01:21:47Good to see you.
01:21:48She's coming.
01:21:51Let me when you're here.
01:21:52Come see.
01:23:53The lady and gentleman have both been delivered to the appropriate authorities.
01:23:56Well, good.
01:23:57Will that be all, Mr. Smith?
01:23:59Yes, I think so.
01:24:00In that case, I have my account.
01:24:02You'll notice I've made a slight reduction for our little...
01:24:05Oh, well, if you'll just send it to me.
01:24:08I'd prefer a settlement now, Mr. Smith.
01:24:10Later, all right?
01:24:12Now would be better.
01:24:13Look, am I going to have trouble with you again?
01:24:15No, sir, not if I can avoid it.
01:24:17Well, then just send me the bill.
01:24:24How much do I owe you, Mr. Emmings?
01:24:31Ah, thank you, Mr. Smith.
01:24:34Where shall I send the receipt?
01:24:35You can reach him at my flat.
01:24:37Huh?
01:24:38Huh?
01:24:38Oh.
01:24:39I see.
01:24:41Good morning.
01:24:45Well, you're the doctor nurse.
01:24:47Let me know.
01:25:08Thank you, sir.
01:25:15And we'll see you next time.
01:25:16Thank you, sir.
01:25:17You
