00:00:12Why should any phenomenon be assumed impossible?
00:00:16The universe begins to look more and more like a great thought than a great machine.
00:00:45The universe begins to look more and more like a terrible monster around the world.
00:00:46One, two, three, four, four, five, four, five, six, eight, eight, eight, eight.
00:00:56A new universe begins and begins to look more and more.
00:00:58The universe begins to look more and more.
00:03:06This is nothing but a strong sedative.
00:03:37Let's get it there, Arthur.
00:03:39No!
00:03:44No!
00:03:44Let's go!
00:03:46No!
00:03:51Oh, no.
00:03:55Oh, no.
00:03:57No!
00:03:59No!
00:04:00Maybe I'll see you next.
00:04:03Nothing.
00:04:03I don't get it.
00:04:04Just when he seems to be getting so much better, you...
00:04:07Why does he do it?
00:04:09I wish I knew.
00:04:11I guess tomorrow we'll have him in intensive behavior management.
00:04:13We'll bust him in the garden, trying to break out of here.
00:04:17Oh, I don't know.
00:04:17Maybe I brought him along too quickly.
00:04:19I mean, it's too bad that we're going to put him in there.
00:04:23Those others.
00:04:25Oh, yeah.
00:04:26Too bad.
00:04:39I...
00:04:40I...
00:04:40I...
00:04:40You know, I talked to all the doctors and I tried to stop this, but...
00:04:44I figure that, uh, if everything goes well, you should be back in my unit very soon.
00:04:53Arnold.
00:04:56I know that you can be helped.
00:04:58I'm going to keep trying.
00:04:59I didn't kill anyone.
00:05:01And if I didn't kill anyone, then I'm not insane.
00:05:05And I'm not going to confess to something I didn't do.
00:05:11Arnold.
00:05:16If you need anything, you get word to me.
00:05:23I'm sorry about what happened the other night.
00:05:27And I know that you'd help me if you could.
00:05:29But you can't.
00:05:45You look crazy to me.
00:05:47Are you crazy?
00:05:49I don't like him.
00:05:50I don't like him.
00:05:51I don't want him to hit him.
00:05:53I don't want him to hit him.
00:05:54I don't want him to hit him.
00:05:54I'm a lawyer.
00:05:55I can get shot again.
00:05:58You need to go home.
00:05:59My lawyer got me 15 to 20.
00:06:01I really killed the guy.
00:06:03I'm not crazy.
00:06:04He said I was crazy.
00:06:05I'm here in prison.
00:06:07And I'm going to put a program.
00:06:08You're not crazy.
00:06:10I'm not crazy.
00:06:11I'm not crazy.
00:06:26at all.
00:06:26What have you done?
00:06:28Who is he?
00:06:29He's king.
00:06:31Over there.
00:06:31What are you?
00:06:32The crazy guy.
00:06:33The crazy guy's name.
00:06:43I'm waiting for a train.
00:06:46Save a seat for me.
00:06:51I watch from here every day.
00:06:54One is due to you.
00:06:57That's a nice thing about trains.
00:07:00They're always going somewhere.
00:07:02I killed my own daughter.
00:07:07She had become a whore.
00:07:10They say maybe I'm crazy.
00:07:12But they do not understand an act of honor.
00:07:15I didn't kill anyone.
00:07:19My mother was sick for a long time.
00:07:21I stayed with her and I took care of her.
00:07:23This doctor was treating her.
00:07:26Determined that she had a tumor.
00:07:28The operation was expensive.
00:07:31I couldn't afford to pay him.
00:07:33We had no insurance.
00:07:34There was a house, an old house.
00:07:36My mother wouldn't sell that no matter what.
00:07:44The doctor refused to operate.
00:07:51I argued with her.
00:07:55I lost my head.
00:07:56People in the office saw me cursing them.
00:07:59I ran away.
00:08:01But I came back.
00:08:02I was going to beg him to reconsider.
00:08:11He was on the floor.
00:08:13Dead.
00:08:16I guess when I reached for the scalpel, I got some of this blood on me.
00:08:24I ran to the police and I told them everything.
00:08:27I guess they needed a call guide because they took everything I said and they twisted it.
00:08:32They charged me with murder.
00:08:35My lawyer sold me out.
00:08:38Trial was a joke.
00:08:56They said they'd have a nurse look after my mother.
00:09:00But they didn't.
00:09:03And she died.
00:09:06Four days.
00:09:07That nurse hadn't been to see her in all that time.
00:09:11They didn't tell me about it until six months after it happened.
00:09:15They didn't tell me about it.
00:09:17Because they were afraid the shock would be too much for me.
00:09:27You're trying this way.
00:09:29Maybe I can help you.
00:09:33How?
00:09:34The day before I die, I shall kill the pimp that made my daughter into a whore.
00:09:41The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:00The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:02The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:07The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:07The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:08The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:09The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:09The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:10The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:10The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:11The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:19The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
00:10:32Let me hear you.
00:10:51I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
00:11:22Let me hear you.
00:12:08Let me hear you.
00:12:11I found my man last night.
00:12:14I carved my name in his chest and slit his throat.
00:12:19What did the priest say?
00:12:21He denied me my last rites.
00:12:23Let me hear you.
00:12:26Let me hear you.
00:12:28Let me hear you.
00:12:29Get your hands out.
00:12:30Let him.
00:12:32Get off.
00:12:38Let me hear you.
00:12:45Let me hear you.
00:12:57Let me hear you.
00:13:00Let me hear you.
00:13:01Thank you very much.
00:13:02Yeah.
00:13:04Well, Emilio doesn't have any next of kin, you know.
00:13:08No.
00:13:09I didn't know that.
00:13:10Yeah.
00:13:12You know, it's funny, I got a letter for him just this morning.
00:13:16No return address, no note.
00:13:18He's got the newspaper clipping.
00:13:21Hey, wait a minute.
00:13:25Waller Johnson Black was found dead in his downtown apartment this afternoon.
00:13:33Investigators say that the gruesome murder has all the earmarks of a ritual killing.
00:13:39The victim's throat was cut and his chest severely slashed.
00:13:44Johnson had a long police record going back.
00:13:47Hey, what are you doing?
00:13:48Nothing, pardon me, pardon me.
00:13:51How do you like that?
00:13:53Somebody sending something like that to somebody in a place like this.
00:13:58Help.
00:14:46You're okay, Honorable?
00:14:48Yeah, I'm all right. Just a little headache.
00:14:50You want something?
00:14:52No, no, I'll be all right. I'll be all right.
00:14:54Okay, try to get a little sleep.
00:14:57Yeah, yeah.
00:15:17No, no, no, no, no.
00:15:44Man down!
00:16:02Subject, Arnold Masters, male Caucasian, age 33.
00:16:0774 and a quarter inches, 179 pounds.
00:16:11Time of death, approximately 1252 a.m.
00:16:15Cause of death to be determined.
00:16:18Preliminary examination, prognosis, shock.
00:16:29Now let's take a look at his heart.
00:16:32I'm about to make an incision above the fourth rib, diagonally toward the lower abdomen.
00:16:38It will bear the area of the heart.
00:16:45That's the goddamnedest thing I ever heard.
00:16:47You performed a not-copsy on a patient that was still alive?
00:16:50Dr. Comminger, the man was medically dead when he was brought into the room.
00:16:53If the papers get hold of this, we're going to look like a bunch of Frankensteins.
00:16:57Dr. Comminger, may I point out...
00:16:59Oh, George, just shut up. You haven't killed anybody yet.
00:17:03Get out of my office and try to keep your mouth shut.
00:17:09Now what about the patient? What kind of shape is he in?
00:17:13Well, as near as I can tell, he was in a deep state of shock over the death of another
00:17:16patient.
00:17:17Well, never mind that. What kind of shape is he in today, right now?
00:17:21He seems controlled, rational, no outward stress, huh?
00:17:27Okay.
00:17:29Send Mr. Masters in here.
00:17:31Yes, Doctor.
00:17:33Patients jumping over walls.
00:17:35Autopsies performed on patients while they're still alive.
00:17:39Do you have any idea what would have happened if we'd killed Masters before that paper came out?
00:17:43I'm sure Mr. Masters would have been justifiably upset.
00:17:51Well, Mr. Masters, how are we feeling today?
00:17:58You certainly gave us quite a scare.
00:18:01Uh, I'm a chair.
00:18:06Actually, I said for you to come up here because I have some very good news for you.
00:18:13The official word just came through.
00:18:16A man came forward last night and confessed to the crime for which you were committed to this institution.
00:18:25Well, you are hereby released from this institution as all charges against you have been dismissed.
00:18:39I, um, really don't know how a thing like this ever could have happened, but, after all, it's not the
00:18:45first time an innocent man has been unjustly accused.
00:18:48We certainly hope that you'll take this in the proper spirit and, uh, go on and live a successful and
00:18:54happy life.
00:18:55Please don't hesitate to ask us to do anything in our power to help you in your efforts at rehabilitation
00:19:00from something that must have been a terrible ordeal for you.
00:19:04Same with me.
00:19:16Let's go ahead.
00:19:21In the rest of the year, there's no guarantee.
00:19:24We can't believe that they're in any place.
00:19:25We can't change anything in any place at all.
00:19:25Let's go ahead and ask.
00:19:25Oh, I've got to ask.
00:19:30There's no question.
00:22:02Please, Ray.
00:22:04I will always love you.
00:22:09I don't know.
00:22:37I don't know.
00:22:54I don't know.
00:22:59Ow!
00:23:05Ow!
00:23:17Ow!
00:23:29Ow!
00:23:31Ow!
00:23:35Ow!
00:23:39Ow!
00:23:43Ow!
00:23:47Ow!
00:23:50Let's go.
00:24:19Come on, darling.
00:24:20Nobody's going to bite you.
00:24:23Except me.
00:24:29Why don't you start the fire?
00:24:31I'll get her something to drink.
00:24:45How are you doing, darling?
00:24:46I'm fine.
00:24:53I'm fine.
00:24:57Paul?
00:24:58Yes?
00:25:00Do you come here often?
00:25:03If you're asking do I bring women here often, the answer is no.
00:25:07No, no, I wasn't asking that.
00:25:11Why, of course you were, and I expect you to.
00:25:15That's why I'm such a good doctor and you're such a good patient.
00:25:20It's because we understand each other.
00:25:23Here, try some of this.
00:25:26Nature's tranquilizer.
00:25:30Let me give you a little free psychiatric advice.
00:25:36You're cheating on your husband.
00:25:39For the first time.
00:25:47It's very natural that you, uh, be a little tense at the beginning.
00:25:56Please.
00:25:59I'm not through.
00:26:08You see, my dear?
00:26:10Here you are, with your analyst.
00:26:13to whom you've transferred all your incestuous feelings
00:26:18you suppressed for your late father.
00:26:31Stand up.
00:26:53Beautiful.
00:26:55Someone as sensual and beautiful as you
00:26:57shouldn't be wasted.
00:27:00I love you more than anyone.
00:27:21I love you more than anyone.
00:27:25Can you hear that?
00:27:26No, nothing.
00:27:29I love you more than anyone.
00:27:34What is it?
00:27:35Be quiet.
00:27:36I love you, my darling.
00:27:38Hear what?
00:27:40Beautiful.
00:27:41Paul?
00:27:42Come on, darling.
00:27:44No one's going to bite you except me.
00:27:48What is it, Paul?
00:27:51I love you, my darling.
00:27:53What's the matter with you?
00:27:55You think you're going to make a fool out of me?
00:27:57Who is that out there?
00:27:59Paul, what is it?
00:28:00You didn't hear anything, I suppose.
00:28:02No, nothing.
00:28:03Paul, are you all right?
00:28:08Whoa!
00:28:10Paul?
00:28:11All right, who is it?
00:28:12Here I am.
00:28:12Who's out there?
00:28:13Here I am, darling.
00:28:15Follow me.
00:28:17Follow me.
00:28:19Here I am.
00:28:21Over here.
00:28:22Over here.
00:28:24No one's going to bite you except me.
00:28:27Except me.
00:28:28Except me.
00:28:31All right, who is it?
00:28:33Who's out there?
00:28:39I'm going to bite you, my darling, my darling.
00:28:46Come on, darling.
00:28:48Come on, darling.
00:28:48Be free.
00:28:51Come on, darling.
00:28:53Come on, darling.
00:28:53Don't be free.
00:28:57Don't be free.
00:29:12You did not see anyone.
00:29:14Is that right, Mrs. Turner?
00:29:16Could you answer the question, please?
00:29:19No.
00:29:19No.
00:29:20And where were you at this time?
00:29:22I, um, I was on the floor.
00:29:25What were you doing on the floor?
00:29:27Oh, he, um, he was kissing me.
00:29:31Is that when he began to act strangely?
00:29:34What do you mean, strangely?
00:29:36Look forward, please.
00:29:40Well, he was lying on the floor with a naked woman.
00:29:44You were naked, weren't you?
00:29:47Could you answer the question, please?
00:29:49Yes.
00:29:51Yes, what?
00:29:52Yes, I was naked.
00:29:55You say you didn't hear anything?
00:29:57No.
00:29:58How can you explain that?
00:30:02I can't.
00:30:07You don't believe me.
00:30:08I'd like to believe you, Mrs. Turner, but a man is dead.
00:30:11You were the last one to see him.
00:30:13Well, I didn't do anything.
00:30:15Well, somebody sure as hell did,
00:30:16and you were obviously on intimate terms with Dr. Taylor.
00:30:19Can I go?
00:30:20Where was your husband during all this?
00:30:22I told you everything.
00:30:24I want to go home.
00:30:26No.
00:30:29Did you take Mrs. Turner home?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:34I don't get it.
00:30:35He fired that shotgun at somebody,
00:30:37but there was no trace of blood or no footprints other than his.
00:30:41I know damn well she didn't do it
00:30:43because he's not big enough to break his neck the way we found him.
00:30:46You sure about it, old man?
00:30:47I checked him out.
00:30:48He's been in Chicago the past six months in a business deal.
00:30:51He spent a lot of time away from home.
00:31:22He's been in Chicago the past six months in a business deal.
00:31:48Oh, my God.
00:31:58Now, Mr. Schaefer, are you having those bad thoughts again?
00:32:04It's just that these uniforms always shrink.
00:32:08I don't know how uncomfortable they are.
00:32:16Now, Mr. Schaefer, don't get any ideas.
00:32:18It's just that this uniform is strangling me.
00:32:25You're lucky to have me, Mr. Schaefer.
00:32:28To massage your legs, to clean up the mess you make in your bed.
00:32:32I'm on my feet all day, and I don't have anyone to take care of me.
00:32:36I have to do it all by myself.
00:32:39Most men don't have massage women, you know.
00:32:42I'll bet you do, though.
00:32:44I'll bet you are the most gentle man in the world.
00:32:50And I can usually do.
00:32:52Well, let's see.
00:32:54Now, you're not due for another enema to 9 o'clock, so I think I'll relax and take a shower.
00:33:09Now, I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:33:13Why don't you take a little nap?
00:33:45I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:34:15I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:34:45I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:35:03I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:35:04I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:38:50You stupid son of a bitch, you'll be sorry when you catch me.
00:39:02Maybe I better slow down and show that guy where to get off.
00:39:18Help, help, help, help, help me, help.
00:39:21I can't get out.
00:39:23I can't get out.
00:39:25Help, help, help, help, help me, help.
00:39:29No, I can't get out.
00:39:32I can't get out.
00:39:34I can't get out.
00:39:38I can't get out.
00:40:12I can't get out.
00:40:13I can't get out.
00:40:14I can't get out.
00:40:16I can't get out.
00:40:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:40:48God!
00:41:04And you did have your siren going.
00:41:07Yes, sir, but he just kept on going faster.
00:41:11Now, you say here that when you pulled up alongside of him to flag him,
00:41:15he was behaving strangely.
00:41:19Yes, sir.
00:41:21What does that mean, behaving strangely?
00:41:25Well, sir, I don't know how to describe it exactly.
00:41:29Well, you sure as hell better find a way to describe it exactly.
00:41:32Because that man who was acting strangely was not only a policeman,
00:41:35but he was a friend of mine, and now he's dead.
00:41:37And I'm goddamn well sure that I'm going to find out how it happened.
00:41:41Do you understand me, Sergeant?
00:41:43Yes, sir.
00:41:44I am sorry, sir.
00:41:46I'm sorry, too.
00:41:49I, uh, I shouldn't take this out on you.
00:41:55All right.
00:41:57Go ahead, continue it.
00:41:58Well, sir, when I finally got up alongside of him,
00:42:02he turned to me and he was yelling.
00:42:05Now, I couldn't hear what he was saying, but...
00:42:08Well, sir, it looked to me like he was yelling for help.
00:42:14Is that when he side-swiped you?
00:42:16Yes, sir.
00:42:18It all happened pretty fast.
00:42:22But, sir, to me, it didn't look like...
00:42:24Well, it didn't look like his hands were on the wheel of the car.
00:42:29Now, I could be wrong, I know.
00:42:31You better...
00:42:31No, no, no.
00:42:32You could also be right.
00:42:35Okay, Sergeant.
00:42:36That's enough.
00:42:38Yes, sir.
00:42:42We've been all over the car.
00:42:44As we can tell, there's no sign of any mechanical failure.
00:42:49And we set the funeral for next Wednesday.
00:42:53What's that, his personnel file?
00:42:55Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:43:02What are you looking for?
00:43:04A connection.
00:43:05Between those three?
00:43:06That's right.
00:43:08You think there's some kind of conspiracy?
00:43:11Dave, I don't know.
00:43:12I'm just looking.
00:43:13Listen, you're upset.
00:43:15So am I.
00:43:16Dave, I got three dead bodies on my hands
00:43:18and not one goddamn reason.
00:43:20I got to find one.
00:43:23You want some coffee?
00:43:26Yeah, thanks.
00:43:38Hey, wait a minute.
00:43:41I never realized that Sowash was the arresting office in the Masters case.
00:43:45You went around for that when you were in the FBI in the big city.
00:43:50But he never mentioned that case to me.
00:43:54Now, Masters just got released yesterday morning.
00:43:57Well, he wasn't too proud of the case.
00:43:59But anybody could have made the same mistake, even you or me.
00:44:02What?
00:44:03Dr. Taylor.
00:44:04He was a court-appointed psychiatrist on the very same case.
00:44:06Is that the connection you're looking for?
00:44:08Go check out Martha Bernson's nursing registry.
00:44:11See if she had any connection with this Masters.
00:44:13What if she did?
00:44:14How can Masters have anything to do with any of this?
00:44:17I don't know, Dave.
00:44:18But I'm sure as hell going to find out.
00:44:57I don't know, Ted hit him so far as hell going to be able to do with any of the
00:44:58other kids.
00:44:58Oh, punto X.
00:45:14Hey, Alex.
00:45:18Well, he could go over and find out.
00:45:18Excuse me.
00:45:19Who are you?
00:45:21I didn't mean to startle you.
00:45:24Are you Arnold Masters?
00:45:25I am, and this is my home.
00:45:28And who may I ask are you?
00:45:30I'm a police officer.
00:45:33Lieutenant Morgan.
00:45:34Good.
00:45:35For a moment I thought you might have been a prowler.
00:45:38What do you want?
00:45:40I'd like to talk to you.
00:45:43Come in, please.
00:45:51I'm sorry about the condition of the house.
00:45:53It got a little run down while I was away.
00:46:18Oh, may I offer you a drink?
00:46:22Thanks.
00:46:24I have milk, pomegranate juice, and lemonade.
00:46:28Milk.
00:46:37There you are.
00:46:38Thanks.
00:46:39You're welcome.
00:46:43I, uh, realize you're going to weigh.
00:46:46I just got back yesterday.
00:46:49I was wondering, have you had time reading newspapers?
00:46:52Yes.
00:46:53Yes, I have.
00:46:55You, by chance, read about the Taylor killer?
00:46:59Yes, I did read about that.
00:47:03Terrible, wasn't it?
00:47:04What about, uh, Martha Bernson's death?
00:47:08Oh, the woman who died in the shower.
00:47:11Yes.
00:47:12Your mother's nurse.
00:47:14And Dr. Taylor, he testified at your trial.
00:47:18Just what are you getting at?
00:47:19You're arresting officer.
00:47:21He was killed this morning.
00:47:24Yes, I heard that on the radio.
00:47:26I see what you're getting at.
00:47:28All those people were somehow connected with me, weren't they?
00:47:34That's quite a coincidence, isn't it?
00:47:36Mm.
00:47:37Lieutenant, sir.
00:47:39I understand that it's your responsibility to investigate every detail, no matter how remote.
00:47:46But I understand that these were accidental deaths.
00:47:49It looks that way.
00:47:51Because there's no other logical explanation, is there?
00:47:54No.
00:47:56Not yet.
00:47:59Are you implying that I had anything to do with this?
00:48:02You said that, not me.
00:48:04Because the police wouldn't want to unjustly accuse me of a crime.
00:48:10Again.
00:48:11Oh, you mean like Sergeant Soas did?
00:48:14Exactly.
00:48:15Perhaps the good sergeant died of a guilty conscience.
00:48:19He should have known better than to drive that fast.
00:48:22Well, Arnold, thanks for the milk.
00:48:25Anytime.
00:48:28I'll be seeing you.
00:48:33Oh, uh, incidentally.
00:48:36The news report stated that the sergeant was killed in a car crash, but it didn't say anything about speeding.
00:48:43I'm a great believer in justice.
00:48:47Perhaps justice found its way to these three.
00:48:50I wonder.
00:48:52I wonder if justice will find its way to any others.
00:48:57Well, we'll just have to wait and find out, won't we?
00:49:00Dave, make up a list of judge, jury, prosecutor, witnesses, everybody connected with the Arnold Masters trial.
00:49:06You want to hear something?
00:49:07No, just make up the list, will you?
00:49:11Morgan.
00:49:12Yeah, I want Masters on a 24-hour surveillance.
00:49:15Now, I got an order for a phone chat, but I also want a mobile unit standing by.
00:49:19I don't want this guy out of our sight for one minute.
00:49:21Right.
00:49:23I'm very impressed, Lieutenant.
00:49:25Impressed with what?
00:49:26The way you're going after Arnold Masters, full speed ahead.
00:49:30We're not going after Masters, Miss Scott.
00:49:32Dr. Scott.
00:49:34Doctor.
00:49:35We're not going after him.
00:49:36We're simply watching him.
00:49:37You don't think the way you're doing it comes under the category of harassment?
00:49:41I told you that when I spoke to him last night, he all but said that he had something to
00:49:45do with this, and that he wasn't finished.
00:49:46Forgive me, Lieutenant, but your interpretation of Arnold's remarks may reflect more what you'd like to believe than what Arnold
00:49:52actually meant.
00:49:54Doctor, I didn't bring you down here to analyze me.
00:49:58Yeah.
00:49:59We'll be right there.
00:50:01Masters just left his house.
00:50:04We're telling Masters, would you like to come along?
00:50:06I had other plans for the weekend, but since I'm here, I'd be fascinated to see how small-town law
00:50:11and order operates.
00:50:50Just what did you bring me down here for, Lieutenant?
00:50:53First, you can tell me.
00:50:54When he was your patient, did he ever threaten revenge?
00:50:57No.
00:50:58He maintained that he was innocent, which he was, but I never heard any threats.
00:51:01Okay, then I'd like you to talk to him.
00:51:03See if you notice any changes.
00:51:05Anything out of his normal behavior pattern.
00:51:08Hold it a second.
00:51:24Well, what did he say?
00:51:26Nothing.
00:51:27He bought three lamb chops for his cat, commented on how high the price of meat was going, said thank
00:51:32you very much, and left.
00:51:34Highly significant.
00:51:35What do you mean?
00:51:36That he noticed the price of meat has gone up.
00:51:38Very funny.
00:51:39Let's follow him back to the stakeout house.
00:51:44Lieutenant Morgan, I am very tired.
00:51:46I drove over 300 miles since early this morning, and I was looking forward to a little rest this weekend.
00:52:04What do you see?
00:52:06A man feeding a pussycat.
00:52:11This morning he sat in that chair for three hours and didn't make a move.
00:52:15Maybe he was tired.
00:52:22What's the matter?
00:52:23I think he...
00:52:25Well, I'm not sure, but I think he's asleep.
00:52:28Well, let's wake him up so you can talk to him.
00:52:32Anything to help you with your obsession, Lieutenant?
00:52:35You know what my real obsession was?
00:52:36You might not be so obliged.
00:52:37With my luck, it'd be necrophilia.
00:52:48He's not answering.
00:52:51Frank.
00:52:53Check the Japanese phone.
00:53:00It's ringing.
00:53:03And he's not moving.
00:53:08What do you want me to do?
00:53:10Let it ring.
00:53:18Wrap it up, Ed.
00:53:19We got him cold.
00:53:20Go.
00:53:21The land deal doesn't have to be ratified by the state.
00:53:23We apply sections 2654A, Article 43 of the tax code structure, 1937.
00:53:29That's never been changed and challenged only once.
00:53:32Dover versus Martindale and Dover loss, meaning what's good for him is good for us.
00:53:37That should make your client happy and give you a few shekels to cut up between us.
00:53:41Yeah, I got you.
00:53:42Bye.
00:53:42Hey, by the way, it wouldn't do any harm if we can get the contractors to cut us in for
00:53:4712% of all future dealings in that area.
00:53:51He should go for that, too.
00:53:53Bye.
00:53:53No, no, no, no.
00:53:54Bye.
00:53:57Christ, I've got to call my broker this afternoon.
00:54:02Sanders here.
00:54:02Get me CF.
00:54:04What happened to you?
00:54:04CF, Sanders speaking.
00:54:06What?
00:54:06Where are you?
00:54:07I'll be there at the doubles match in 15 minutes.
00:54:10We should be able to beat these guys.
00:54:13No, but not too badly.
00:54:14I want to lock up the equity funding proxy sales at the same time.
00:54:17Bye.
00:54:20Bye.
00:54:21Stopping off of my building to check things out.
00:54:23I'm not there every minute.
00:54:25They screw everything up.
00:54:27I'm not there every minute.
00:54:29I'm not there every minute.
00:54:52They screw everything up.
00:54:55Shirley, make a note.
00:54:57Tell the goddamn contractor that I ordered early Roman lettering.
00:55:01What did I get?
00:55:02Beverly Hills Imperium.
00:55:04And he'll say I changed my mind.
00:55:06But if he'll reread the specifications, he'll find out that I can really stick it to him.
00:55:10But he doesn't know from contracts.
00:55:12He doesn't know from buildings.
00:55:16Now, feed this back to me on Monday.
00:55:18Shirley, tell Max to 86 the beige carpeting and swing over into royal blue, which should
00:55:25go nicely with the prints of the keen paintings that the kid at UCLA is hustling up for me.
00:55:31Shirley, make a note to call Phil and see if I can make an under the table deal with Sam
00:55:36for those Louis XIV telephones out of the Rothenberg foreclosure.
00:55:42Shirley, I got it.
00:55:43I got it.
00:55:44Call the plumber first thing in the morning.
00:55:47The reception will have an imitation Trevi Fountain
00:55:51cascading behind two of the most beautiful receptionists you've ever seen.
00:55:55Next to you, huh?
00:56:04I love it all.
00:56:07Every stick, every brick, all of it's mine.
00:56:11Ah, difensier.
00:56:14La donna immobile, qualsi un malavento, muta d'ascento e difensiere.
00:56:39It's mine, every stick, every brick, all of it's mine.
00:56:57He's waking up.
00:57:04Hello.
00:57:05Hello, Arnold.
00:57:07Who is this?
00:57:09Dr. Scott.
00:57:11Oh, hello.
00:57:12I'm in town just for the day.
00:57:15I wondered if I could come by and see you.
00:57:17Oh, certainly, certainly.
00:57:18Do you have my address?
00:57:19Yes.
00:57:20Um, 15 minutes, all right?
00:57:23Uh, yes, yes, yes, sure.
00:57:26Bye.
00:57:29What's the matter?
00:57:31I feel a little like a police informer.
00:57:34Look at it this way.
00:57:35If he's done nothing wrong, then you'll be helping him.
00:57:38I suppose so.
00:57:40Oh, keep him by the window so we can see both of you.
00:57:44If there's a problem, we'll be there fast.
00:57:45That's hardly necessary.
00:57:47He isn't dangerous.
00:57:48Keep him by the window anyway.
00:57:54Hello, Arnold.
00:57:55Hello.
00:57:59Oh, oh, won't you come in, please?
00:58:01Sure.
00:58:03Would you like to sit down?
00:58:15Oh, may I, uh, may I get you something?
00:58:17Oh, uh, no.
00:58:18No, thank you.
00:58:19I, I just, uh, wanted to see how you were getting along.
00:58:23Oh, fine, fine.
00:58:25I'm adjusting, trying to get a job, you know.
00:58:29How about the nightmares?
00:58:32Oh, they're all gone.
00:58:33Good.
00:58:36Um, could I see that, please?
00:58:41No.
00:58:42That was Amelia's, wasn't it?
00:58:44It's mine now.
00:58:45What does that mean to you?
00:58:47Why do you wear it?
00:58:49I like it.
00:58:50Why do you like it?
00:58:53I think I'll, I think I'll make some tea.
00:58:56I make very good tea.
00:58:57Oh, I don't want any.
00:59:05I want you to be open with me, the way you used to be.
00:59:15Arnold, are you in some kind of trouble?
00:59:17Asden!
00:59:20Lieutenant.
00:59:22Dr. Scott.
00:59:23What is it?
00:59:24You better come with me.
00:59:27Are you working with the police?
00:59:29Of course not.
00:59:30I came here to see you.
00:59:32I assume this is a real emergency, Lieutenant.
00:59:34It is.
00:59:36Look, Arnold, I came here to see you because...
00:59:39You don't owe me any explanation.
00:59:41You'd better go with the Lieutenant.
00:59:42He has a real emergency.
00:59:45Don't you, Lieutenant?
00:59:48That's right.
00:59:55That son of a bitch knows.
00:59:56What are you talking about?
00:59:57He knows.
00:59:58You see the smile he just gave me?
00:59:59Well, he knows.
01:00:00He knows what?
01:00:17A crane, unattended, mysteriously drops a cornerstone on Harvey B. Sanders.
01:00:25If that crane was locked up and nobody was there, how could it have killed him?
01:00:30That's what's driving me crazy.
01:00:32If you'll pardon the expression.
01:00:34I know what you mean.
01:00:36Getting interested, Doc?
01:00:37Yep, I guess I am.
01:00:40And it's Laura, Lieutenant.
01:00:43Then it's Jeff, Doc.
01:00:46Dinner?
01:00:47Where?
01:00:49My place.
01:00:51Sure.
01:00:58You're not a bad cook.
01:01:00Or a cop.
01:01:02Purely self-defense.
01:01:04And self-talk.
01:01:08Your wife didn't educate you?
01:01:11I didn't say anything about being married.
01:01:13Well, you didn't have to.
01:01:14I, uh...
01:01:16I looked around your bedroom and I saw her picture.
01:01:19With a little boy.
01:01:21Doc, that's an invasion of privacy.
01:01:23Probably.
01:01:24Where are they now?
01:01:26Phoenix.
01:01:27She'll be married.
01:01:30She...
01:01:32She always wanted to be in the same place.
01:01:33You know, I have everything organized.
01:01:37I went away to become an FBI man.
01:01:40I thought it would be exciting.
01:01:42It wasn't.
01:01:44So, when I had enough of that,
01:01:47I came back here to be with her.
01:01:48And I was just a little too late.
01:01:51She already found somebody else.
01:01:56Doc, I'm beginning to sound like a patient.
01:01:58I was just curious about you.
01:02:01I was just curious about you.
01:02:02And I was doing all the talking.
01:02:06Well, now it's my turn to be curious about you.
01:02:10Oh, I come from a small town in Arkansas.
01:02:13You probably never even heard of it.
01:02:16Blieville.
01:02:18Blieville?
01:02:20The only trouble was that everybody always watched everybody else there.
01:02:25Nobody ever did anything very interesting.
01:02:31Well, what brings you out here?
01:02:33I mean, to that hospital.
01:02:34I took my residency there.
01:02:37And, uh...
01:02:38Well, I went into private practice for a while.
01:02:41But I suppose what really interests me the most
01:02:45is helping people who are on the outer fringes.
01:02:51So, I went back to the hospital.
01:02:55Everybody's always got his eye on you there, too.
01:03:04Well, I'm sure tomorrow is going to be a very long day.
01:03:09So, I didn't waste a whole lot of time fencing around.
01:03:13Why don't we just go to bed?
01:03:16I'll meet you there.
01:03:18As soon as you're finished.
01:03:24I'm finished.
01:04:07I didn't come here to hurt you.
01:04:10I wanted to see you.
01:04:12Why?
01:04:14You were my only friend.
01:04:16Come out here so I can see you.
01:04:17I can see you.
01:04:19That's enough.
01:04:21Should I be afraid of you?
01:04:22Not you.
01:04:24Did you kill those people?
01:04:29All the time I was in the hospital,
01:04:32I thought about you.
01:04:34About how beautiful you are.
01:04:37I've been watching you all evening.
01:04:39How could you do that?
01:04:41I watched you make love to him.
01:04:45I wish it had been me.
01:04:48Laura!
01:04:49Laura?
01:04:51What's the matter?
01:04:55I want to go to where you're watching Arnold's house.
01:04:58And I want to go right now.
01:05:01He hasn't moved out of that chair all night.
01:05:04Was he asleep earlier?
01:05:07Yeah.
01:05:08Up until about 15 minutes ago.
01:05:10Uh-huh.
01:05:11Uh-huh.
01:05:12What the hell is this all about?
01:05:14Look, I'm telling you that I saw him.
01:05:15I saw him as clearly as I see you right now.
01:05:17That's impossible.
01:05:18I am a trained psychiatrist.
01:05:20I spent four years in medical school,
01:05:21four years in internship.
01:05:22I don't care what he worked at the St. Mental Hospital
01:05:25for the last seven years of my life.
01:05:27I've been psychoanalyzed by the best doctors in the whole world.
01:05:29I am not insane.
01:05:31I was not sleepwalking.
01:05:32And I know an hallucination when I see one.
01:05:34I am telling you that I saw Arnold Masters
01:05:36in your apartment 35 minutes ago.
01:05:39Where are you going?
01:05:40I am going to see an old professor friend of mine.
01:05:43He's at Redlands University.
01:05:45If I leave here right now, I can be there by 9 o'clock.
01:05:47If I drive you there, we can be there by 8.30.
01:05:51All right.
01:05:57Now, what you're seeing is energy.
01:06:02Energy.
01:06:05Every object has an energy force, an aura.
01:06:10Around it.
01:06:11Now, this was suspected for many centuries.
01:06:14As a matter of fact,
01:06:15many artists claim to have seen this aura
01:06:17and painted it as a halo around their figures.
01:06:20But it wasn't until 1939,
01:06:23when the Russian couple,
01:06:24Semyon and Valentina Curlyan,
01:06:26succeeded in actually photographing this,
01:06:29that we had any scientific evidence of its existence.
01:06:37Now, this aura is not static.
01:06:41It varies, which is very interesting.
01:06:44And we in this university at this time
01:06:46are experimenting with certain types
01:06:48of mental and physical disorders
01:06:50to see if we can find any practical application
01:06:54of this principle.
01:07:00Aha!
01:07:01Do you recognize this slide?
01:07:04Huh?
01:07:05It happens to be the one we took
01:07:08just a half hour ago
01:07:09of each of your hands.
01:07:11If I may say so,
01:07:13by the amount of energy visible on that film,
01:07:17yours is a relationship
01:07:19definitely worth cultivating.
01:07:22Ha, ha, ha.
01:07:26If we learn nothing more,
01:07:28we will at least have
01:07:30a lucrative mate matching
01:07:32or marriage counseling business here.
01:07:35Ha, ha, ha.
01:07:37Well, now, Doctor,
01:07:39this is all very interesting.
01:07:40But how does any of this
01:07:43relate to Arnold Masters?
01:07:47I can't say precisely,
01:07:49but many of us in parapsychology believe
01:07:52that the energy force
01:07:55in any human
01:07:56can be controlled.
01:07:59And it's conceivable
01:08:01that this energy
01:08:03can be projected,
01:08:04propelled,
01:08:06what we call
01:08:07an out-of-body experience.
01:08:10Then you're telling me
01:08:11that that could explain
01:08:12how Arnold Masters
01:08:13killed people
01:08:14while he,
01:08:16or rather, as you say,
01:08:17his body
01:08:18was miles away?
01:08:19It could explain it,
01:08:21but I don't want
01:08:22to jump to conclusions.
01:08:23I'm merely suggesting
01:08:24certain avenues
01:08:26that you might be wise
01:08:27to explore.
01:08:29You know,
01:08:29in our enlightened days,
01:08:32we know of only
01:08:33four types of energy.
01:08:35Gravitational,
01:08:36electromagnetic,
01:08:37and the weak
01:08:38and strong nuclear forces.
01:08:39But the existence
01:08:41of nuclear forces
01:08:42was not even suspected
01:08:44before this century.
01:08:46Now, I'm not prepared
01:08:48to say with any degree
01:08:49of certainty
01:08:49that we have found
01:08:50every force in nature,
01:08:52are you?
01:08:52There must be
01:08:53at least
01:08:54one more force
01:08:56operating on a physical level
01:08:57which would tend
01:08:58to support
01:08:59psychic phenomena.
01:09:00There must be.
01:09:01Could you spell it out,
01:09:03doctor,
01:09:03in layman terms,
01:09:05just how he killed them?
01:09:08If he did.
01:09:09If he did.
01:09:12It's possible
01:09:14that Mr. Masters
01:09:18has so
01:09:19learned to control
01:09:20the art
01:09:21of releasing energy
01:09:22from his living body
01:09:25and that this energy
01:09:27or spirit,
01:09:28if you will,
01:09:29is malevolent,
01:09:30mean,
01:09:30angry,
01:09:32and this spirit
01:09:33goes out
01:09:34to murder those
01:09:35whom he thinks
01:09:36have done him harm.
01:09:40That's what I thought
01:09:41you meant.
01:09:42Well, it's not
01:09:43that incredible,
01:09:43lieutenant.
01:09:45I venture to say
01:09:45that even you
01:09:46have at one time
01:09:47or other
01:09:47experienced
01:09:48some psychic phenomenon.
01:09:50Well, if I have,
01:09:51I sure don't remember it.
01:09:52Well, all right,
01:09:53let's see.
01:09:55Have you
01:09:57ever thought
01:09:57of a dear friend
01:09:58you hadn't seen
01:09:59in years
01:10:00and suddenly
01:10:01there's a phone call?
01:10:03Or did you ever
01:10:04experience doing
01:10:04or saying something
01:10:06in a certain place
01:10:06once before
01:10:07in precisely
01:10:08the same way?
01:10:11Have you ever
01:10:12had a stab
01:10:12of anguish
01:10:13for a dear loved one?
01:10:15And the very next day
01:10:17a fateful telegram.
01:10:27Doctor,
01:10:28I'm sorry
01:10:29to be so slow
01:10:30getting into this,
01:10:30but this is so far off
01:10:32a small-town cop.
01:10:34So were those
01:10:35four deaths.
01:10:36You're not alone.
01:10:37There are many
01:10:38extremely intelligent people
01:10:40who are simply
01:10:41unwilling to accept this.
01:10:42I have been teaching
01:10:44and studying
01:10:45psychic phenomena
01:10:46for 35 years,
01:10:48but I can understand
01:10:49your reluctance.
01:10:52Still,
01:10:52if I could observe
01:10:53Mr. Masters
01:10:54firsthand,
01:10:56perhaps
01:10:56I could tell you more.
01:11:01Okay,
01:11:03let's go.
01:11:05he may be
01:11:06in a trance.
01:11:09I'm sorry,
01:11:10I really can't tell
01:11:11from so far away.
01:11:17Then let's,
01:11:17let's go get
01:11:19a closer look.
01:11:22Masters!
01:11:25Masters!
01:11:29Lieutenant,
01:11:29I know the law
01:11:30is your department,
01:11:31but don't we need
01:11:31a search warrant
01:11:32or something?
01:11:32Look, Doc,
01:11:34we came by here
01:11:34to see him.
01:11:35When there was no reply,
01:11:36we became concerned.
01:11:37We found the door open
01:11:38and we came in.
01:11:43That's just the way
01:11:43it happened.
01:12:06no pulse.
01:12:08No breathing.
01:12:13No breathing.
01:12:17No heartbeat.
01:12:19No coronial reflex.
01:12:23No nothing.
01:12:25He was in the same state
01:12:26when they found him
01:12:27in his cell
01:12:27at the hospital
01:12:28and they pronounced
01:12:29and they pronounced
01:12:29him dead.
01:12:30In a strict sense,
01:12:31he is medically dead.
01:12:59Doctor, did you notice the amulet around his neck?
01:13:02Yes. I wonder what it might represent.
01:13:05He got it from another patient. The man left it for him after he killed himself.
01:13:11All right, what do we do now?
01:13:13Wait for him to return.
01:13:15Wait? Isn't there something you can do to pull him out of this?
01:13:18No.
01:13:20You might notify all the potential victims if you wish.
01:13:23I already have. That'll do any good.
01:13:26I doubt it.
01:13:40The government tells me how to run my business. You tell me how to run my business. What's a man
01:13:44to do?
01:13:45I'll tell you what to do. Try living on welfare with food stamps to feed your children.
01:13:50Well, don't blame me. I didn't vote for him.
01:13:52Oh, yes, you did. You just don't want to admit it right now.
01:13:55Well, what's the difference? We're all a bunch of thieves.
01:13:59Will you put some meat in his pockets? That's what I'm paying you for.
01:14:03Carbohydra is good for the kids.
01:14:05I'm going to report you to the food and welfare people.
01:14:07Do me a favor. Take your business somewhere else.
01:14:09I will report you to the NAACP.
01:14:12Report, report.
01:14:14One of these days, I'm going to give it up and go to Florida.
01:14:16In the meantime, will you take your hands off the scale?
01:14:21How much do I owe you?
01:14:23$4.22.
01:14:24Jesus.
01:14:26Jesus lived on bread and water for 40 days and 40 nights.
01:14:30It was not Jesus. It was Moses.
01:14:33Food stamps. A man can't pay is built with food stamps.
01:14:37You'll take them damn food stamps or I'll report you.
01:14:41Report, report it.
01:14:42That's what they do.
01:14:54I'm not going to worry about that. I'm so sorry.
01:14:58Don't you come back.
01:14:59I'll come back in here.
01:15:01Why won't you come back in here?
01:15:04And give my regards to the kids.
01:15:42I'm not going back in here.
01:16:13I'm not going back in here.
01:16:22He's coming back.
01:16:24He's almost back to normal.
01:16:27What are you doing here?
01:16:30I'm Dr. Gugner.
01:16:32We came to make sure that you were all right.
01:16:35We were very worried about you, Arnold.
01:16:37That's very thoughtful of you.
01:16:39Were you very worried?
01:16:41Not a bit.
01:16:43Why not?
01:16:44Because the doctor here tells me that you have some sort of a psychic way of getting out of your
01:16:48body and committing murders.
01:16:50That's a very interesting theory you have there, doctor.
01:16:53But you'd best keep it to yourself or else these good people just might have you committed.
01:16:58Hey, and you can stop pretending.
01:17:01Because I know you're doing it somehow.
01:17:03Well, what do you think you can do about it?
01:17:04Oh, I can put you back in that hospital.
01:17:07Well, maybe I'll put you where you belong.
01:17:08Do you really think you can challenge me?
01:17:11Yeah.
01:17:12Because I'm not afraid of freaks like you.
01:17:14You're all hung up on mom, aren't you, Arnold?
01:17:16That's your big problem.
01:17:18You can't provoke me, Lieutenant.
01:17:20And I'm not stupid enough to give you an excuse to shoot me.
01:17:24But we'll meet again sometime.
01:17:26When you're alone.
01:17:27All alone except for me.
01:17:28Mr. Masters, I'm not a detective.
01:17:30I'm a parapsychologist.
01:17:31You are not capable of dealing with what's happening to you.
01:17:36Perhaps Dr. Scott and I could help you.
01:17:38Arnold, let us help you, please.
01:17:41Get out.
01:17:52Oh, Lieutenant.
01:17:55I think you'll find some real bargains tonight at Lomonoski's butcher shop.
01:18:00I understand he has some choice cuts available.
01:18:03Fresh.
01:18:20Let me out, Steve!
01:18:22Let me out, Steve!
01:18:24Six.
01:18:25Stay.
01:18:27Come on.
01:18:40Lemanowski!
01:18:42Lemanowski!
01:18:45Hey, Lemanowski!
01:19:23Oh, my God, my God!
01:19:26All right.
01:19:28Well, doctors, what do we do now?
01:19:32Wait for him to kill somebody else?
01:19:35We could try having him committed, and we might be able to work with him,
01:19:39but that would take weeks, months.
01:19:41I hate to disagree, Doctor, but it'll take more than weeks and months.
01:19:43More likely, years.
01:19:45And even then, Lieutenant, there's no guarantee that we will know more than we know now.
01:19:50But I've got five dead people on my hands right now!
01:19:53And I don't know when the hell this thing is going to end!
01:19:55The end will be a major breakthrough for science and mankind if we succeed.
01:19:59What about the next poor guy who gets his throat cut?
01:20:02Or maybe hacked up in some butcher shop?
01:20:04He's not going to give a damn about your theories!
01:20:05I'm sorry I can't be tied down to your set of values!
01:20:09You're a police lieutenant and I'm a practical scientist!
01:20:16Wait a minute.
01:20:19Didn't you tell me that when the energy force leaves his body, he is clinically and medically dead?
01:20:27Clinically and medically, yes.
01:20:29Thank you very much, Doctor. I won't be needing your services any longer.
01:20:38What are you thinking, Doctor Scott?
01:20:40I'm thinking the lieutenant is planning to kill our masses.
01:20:43That's exactly what I'm thinking. We can't let him do that.
01:20:45How can we stop it?
01:20:46We must persuade masses to come under our protection.
01:20:49We tried that once.
01:20:50Then we must try again.
01:20:56Rick!
01:20:58Rick!
01:21:00Rick!
01:21:04Rick!
01:21:20Rick!
01:21:24Rick!
01:21:25Rick!
01:21:26Rick!
01:21:27He's dead.
01:21:28There's no doubt about it.
01:21:33Everything seems to be in order.
01:22:06What are you doing here?
01:22:07I think the question might be, what are you doing here?
01:22:09This is none of your business. I don't want you to get involved.
01:22:11Lieutenant, do you realize what you're doing?
01:22:14Yes. I'm acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
01:22:17But I don't want you to become involved. Either of you.
01:22:20Why?
01:22:22Because it'll make me feel better.
01:22:28The medallion.
01:22:30He wasn't wearing the medallion.
01:22:33Dr. Coopner, what are you doing?
01:22:34They'll still be in the house.
01:22:38The medallion.
01:23:06What are you doing?
01:23:27Dr. Gugner!
01:23:46Dr. Gugner!
01:23:52Dr. Gugner!
01:23:56Search the other side!
01:23:58Don't overlook anything that might have meaning!
01:24:27Oh!
01:25:02Dr. Scott, come quickly, I've found something!
01:25:21He shouldn't have come into her room.
01:25:29I tried to keep it so nicely.
01:25:34My mother never hurt anyone.
01:25:37All I ever tried to do was help her.
01:25:40But they wouldn't let me.
01:25:42And now it's late.
01:25:44So very, very late.
01:25:47What can I do now?
01:25:50Of course, Arnold.
01:25:53Everybody knew that you loved her.
01:25:56Everything I love dies.
01:25:59I love it.
01:26:10I love you.
01:26:13I love this.
01:26:14I love you.
01:26:16I love you.
01:26:19Oh, my God.
01:26:48Oh, my God.
01:27:19Oh, my God.
01:28:14Oh, my God.
01:28:21Oh, my God.
01:28:51Oh, my God.
01:29:17Oh, my God.
01:29:18Oh, my God.
