00:00:28Transcription by CastingWords
00:02:26Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:02:27Good morning, Temple.
00:02:32They're all here.
00:02:33How do you want them?
00:02:34Give me the woman who reported it first.
00:02:36The cleaning woman.
00:02:37Her husband's with her.
00:02:38The janitor.
00:02:38All right, both of them.
00:02:40All right, both of them.
00:02:42You and your husband.
00:02:46Sit down, please.
00:02:55Oh, what was the man's name?
00:02:58Dr. Frank Peralta.
00:03:00Dr. Frank Peralta.
00:03:02All right, what happened?
00:03:03When I went in this morning to clean up, it was about half past seven.
00:03:08There he was.
00:03:09Just lay in there.
00:03:11You live at the same address, I believe, Mr. Benson.
00:03:13That's right.
00:03:14Same floor.
00:03:15And you saw Dr. Peralta last night?
00:03:17Around 10 o'clock.
00:03:18He was coming in.
00:03:19I was going out.
00:03:20Was he alone?
00:03:21No, he had a young lady with him.
00:03:23You know the young lady?
00:03:24Never saw her before.
00:03:25Very pretty, very nice looking.
00:03:27Remember what she was wearing?
00:03:28Some kind of a blue suit.
00:03:30Flowers in her hair.
00:03:31Gloves?
00:03:32No, I don't think so.
00:03:33But I don't remember exactly.
00:03:35They were going in up to his apartment, presumably.
00:03:37That's what I assumed, of course.
00:03:39And that was about 10 o'clock?
00:03:40Around 10.
00:03:42Think you'd know her if you saw her again?
00:03:44I think so.
00:03:45We met face to face.
00:03:47I see.
00:03:49What do you know about her, Mrs. Dietrichson?
00:03:51Well, I live in the apartment just under Dr. Peralta.
00:03:54About 10.35 last night, I heard this thud on the floor above my ceiling.
00:03:58How do you know the time so well?
00:04:00I'd just turned on the 10.30 news.
00:04:02I heard footsteps on the stairs outside, so I opened my door a bit and looked out.
00:04:07I was curious.
00:04:09Yes.
00:04:10I'm glad you were.
00:04:11What'd you see?
00:04:12A young woman, quite pretty, passed me and went out the front door.
00:04:16From Dr. Peralta's apartment?
00:04:17Well, I suppose so.
00:04:19But you didn't actually see her come out of his door?
00:04:24I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
00:04:27Do you think you'd recognize her again if you saw her?
00:04:29Oh, yes.
00:04:30Yes, I'm sure I would.
00:04:32I got a very good look at her.
00:04:33She passed under the light.
00:04:35I see.
00:04:38You're Dr. Peralta's secretary.
00:04:40I was.
00:04:42What do you know about any plans he had for last night?
00:04:44He had an engagement for dinner with a girl named Teresa Collins.
00:04:49You didn't care for Miss Collins, I take it?
00:04:51I know very little about her.
00:04:54But I couldn't believe that Dr. Peralta was in love with her.
00:04:57You mean he thought he was?
00:04:59Oh, sometimes he did and sometimes he didn't.
00:05:02But she treated him so wickedly.
00:05:04She kept him in such a state.
00:05:07But he was going to propose to her last night, he said.
00:05:11Teresa Collins?
00:05:13Do you know where she lives?
00:05:15No.
00:05:16But I can tell you where she works.
00:05:18She runs a magazine stand in the lobby of the medical building,
00:05:21where Dr. Peralta's offices are.
00:05:24Were.
00:05:41Mrs. Davidson, you go first.
00:05:43Just look around, see if you see anybody you know.
00:05:45In the middle years, but not a bad little number at that.
00:05:48Keep your mind on what you're doing, will you?
00:05:59You go out with me and I'll buy you a steak.
00:06:02Good enough for me.
00:06:03I ain't kidding.
00:06:04Neither am I.
00:06:08When I get out of this monkey soup, I ain't such a bad looking guy.
00:06:18Benson, you go.
00:06:19That's the girl all right, behind the counter.
00:06:21You sure of it?
00:06:22Well, pretty sure.
00:06:24Pretty sure.
00:06:25Won't you swear to it?
00:06:26I think so.
00:06:28Still there's something.
00:06:30Yes, I'll swear to it.
00:06:31Well, I hope you'll remember that.
00:06:35Don't you remember me?
00:06:36Sure, if you want me to.
00:06:38I remember you all right.
00:06:44Where'd she go?
00:06:45Well, how do I know?
00:06:46What about in there?
00:06:46That's the girl all right behind the counter.
00:06:48You swear to it?
00:06:49Yep.
00:06:50On a stack of Bibles a mile high.
00:06:52Okay.
00:06:52Thanks.
00:06:53We'll get in touch with you later.
00:06:58Looks pretty good.
00:07:01Miss Collins?
00:07:02Yes?
00:07:03I'm from the police department.
00:07:05I, uh, I beg your pardon?
00:07:06Good morning, doctor.
00:07:08I wonder if you could show me something in the line of lemon drops.
00:07:11How about lemon drops?
00:07:13That's a very good idea.
00:07:16I don't know how I can thank you enough.
00:07:18Not.
00:07:25I'm sorry.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:27I wonder if you'd mind telling me how you spent last night.
00:07:29Why?
00:07:29Do you mind?
00:07:30No, but...
00:07:31From about eight o'clock on.
00:07:32What's it all about?
00:07:34Begin at nine.
00:07:35Will you tell me then?
00:07:36All right.
00:07:37I went for a walk in Jefferson Park.
00:07:40Alone?
00:07:41Yes.
00:07:41How long does that take you?
00:07:42Oh, I got home about 11.30, quarter of 12.
00:07:45For nearly three hours, you walked alone in the park?
00:07:48Well, not exactly.
00:07:49For about two hours, I was listening to the band concert.
00:07:51And then when it was over, I strolled down by the lake and sat listening to the singing
00:07:54over the water.
00:07:55Then I got chilly, so I went on home.
00:07:57And all that time, you never met anybody you knew?
00:08:00Well, I didn't say that.
00:08:01Anybody who knows you, I should say.
00:08:02My butcher and his wife sat back at me during the concert.
00:08:05Oh.
00:08:06What's his name?
00:08:07Mr. Peterson.
00:08:08Vine and 14th.
00:08:09That's where his shop is.
00:08:10Uh-huh.
00:08:11Well, you speak to him?
00:08:13Oh, sure.
00:08:14We're old friends.
00:08:16I can check, remember?
00:08:17All right.
00:08:18Check.
00:08:20Anyone else?
00:08:22Yes.
00:08:22The park policeman down by the lake.
00:08:24We talked for quite a while.
00:08:26You know his name and number?
00:08:28No, but we know each other.
00:08:30We've talked down there before at night.
00:08:31What's he?
00:08:32Some kind of sweetheart?
00:08:34Well, not till I get his name, anyway.
00:08:37Well, the truth is...
00:08:38And a boy named Nat, Nat DeGroote, walked home with me.
00:08:45Where'll I find him?
00:08:48He works at the True Value shop at 15th and Vine.
00:08:52And he actually walked home with you?
00:08:53Go ask him if you don't believe me.
00:08:56I intend to.
00:08:58All right.
00:08:58Now, what's this all about?
00:09:01Dr. Frank Peralta was murdered last night.
00:09:06Murdered?
00:09:08Stabbed to death.
00:09:09Straight through the heart.
00:09:20Doctor.
00:09:21Terry.
00:09:28Terry, what happened?
00:09:35Break it up, break it up.
00:09:36Yes, sir.
00:09:37Fine, folks.
00:09:38Keep moving, keep moving.
00:09:40It's all over, lady.
00:09:41Keep moving.
00:09:43Well, what do you want?
00:10:03Hello, Frankie.
00:10:05Okay.
00:10:06She's all right now.
00:10:07A little shaky, but okay, the doctor says.
00:10:10All right.
00:10:10Let her go.
00:10:12Are you kidding?
00:10:14Of course I'm not kidding.
00:10:15It's a free country, isn't it?
00:10:17You mean with two witnesses who saw a smack of the place?
00:10:20Against three who saw a smack away from it.
00:10:23Four smacking miles away from it.
00:10:26I saw them.
00:10:27Three solid, tax-paying, God-fearing citizens.
00:10:31Who know her and talked to her all over Jefferson Park last night.
00:10:36Nine o'clock till eleven-thirty-five.
00:10:38Well, what do you know about that?
00:10:40I don't get it.
00:10:41I just don't get it.
00:10:42Don't make any more sense to me than Chinese music.
00:10:55Second floor front, Lieutenant.
00:11:13Can I come in?
00:11:15Certainly.
00:11:17Thanks.
00:11:20How are you feeling now?
00:11:22All right, thanks.
00:11:24It sticks, you know.
00:11:26It sticks?
00:11:27The alibi.
00:11:29Oh, well, of course.
00:11:30It's the truth.
00:11:32That butcher now.
00:11:34He couldn't be in love with you.
00:11:35No.
00:11:36The cop might.
00:11:38Another guy, but not the butcher, I don't think.
00:11:41I don't think so either.
00:11:42Guys generally fall in love with you, don't they?
00:11:44Some.
00:11:45Peralta?
00:11:46He was a very dear friend.
00:11:49Very dear.
00:11:50Why'd you quarrel with him?
00:11:51The elevator boy heard you yesterday.
00:11:53It wasn't a quarrel.
00:11:54We just differed about something.
00:11:55Rusty never liked him.
00:11:57Jealous?
00:11:58You think Rusty might have killed him?
00:12:00Why?
00:12:01Well, he was in love with you too, wasn't he?
00:12:04For a policeman, you certainly spend a lot of time thinking about love.
00:12:07Yeah, I'm the romantic type.
00:12:08Thanks.
00:12:09You left-handed?
00:12:10Excuse me.
00:12:11Is this visit social or professional?
00:12:13You gave the doctor his lemon drops with your right hand.
00:12:16I was born left-handed.
00:12:19Most of the things I've learned to do since I do right-handed.
00:12:22I didn't like being left-handed.
00:12:23The medical examiner figures he was stabbed right-handed.
00:12:27What am I supposed to say to that?
00:12:28I'm just waiting to see.
00:12:32If you don't mind...
00:12:34We'll break it, you know.
00:12:35This alibi.
00:12:36It may take time, but I'll figure it yet for dough.
00:12:40If you don't mind, I'd like you to leave.
00:12:42I'm tired and I want to go to bed.
00:12:44You and your...
00:13:02So that's it.
00:13:04My sister, Ruth.
00:13:07Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:11Excuse me.
00:13:13I was going to when the time came.
00:13:16Everybody knows it, so there wouldn't have been much use to try to hide it.
00:13:19Not at the medical building, they don't know it.
00:13:21No, not there.
00:13:22That was so we could take days off when we wanted to.
00:13:24When we didn't have another job.
00:13:26Do you make a habit of that kind of monkey business?
00:13:29All twins do now and then.
00:13:34Well...
00:13:35You're Terry.
00:13:36And you're Ruth.
00:13:38You've no idea how much this relieves me.
00:13:40That's nice.
00:13:41I was beginning to think I was losing my marbles.
00:13:43It's not always easy to tell us apart.
00:13:45That's true.
00:13:46So I see.
00:13:48Which one now was in Jefferson Park last night?
00:13:51One of us.
00:13:52That I know.
00:13:53Which one is what I ask?
00:13:56You or you?
00:13:59Oh, well, now, no use stalling about it because I'll get it out of you one way or another.
00:14:03So...
00:14:04How?
00:14:05Look, you don't want to make this any tougher than it is, do you?
00:14:09So let's have it and get it over with.
00:14:11Which of you did which last night?
00:14:14One of us spent the evening in Jefferson Park.
00:14:17The other stayed home and went to bed early.
00:14:19But how can that one prove that?
00:14:21And that's all we're going to say.
00:14:23Were you in Jefferson Park last night?
00:14:27Are you going to answer me or not?
00:14:30I'm not.
00:14:32You're only making trouble for yourselves, you know.
00:14:34It'll be all the harder for you in the end.
00:14:35How?
00:14:36Because you can't get away with a gag like this.
00:14:38It's...
00:14:53It's...
00:14:53One of us spent the evening in Jefferson Park and the other...
00:14:57But what one did which is what I'm asking.
00:15:00Which one did which?
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:08I'll just have to run you both in.
00:15:11Are you allowed to play the field like that?
00:15:13What do you mean?
00:15:14Can you throw any number of people you want to into court and tell the judge to take his pick?
00:15:18I'm afraid you're going to look awfully funny explaining that even to a lawyer.
00:15:21What lawyer?
00:15:22The one that's coming straight to the police station.
00:15:24If we're not here to answer the phone any time tonight.
00:15:27Pretty smart, aren't you?
00:15:29Not done.
00:15:30Well, listen to this.
00:15:31Did you ever hear of a little charge called obstructing justice?
00:15:34Yes.
00:15:35Then would you like to reconsider?
00:15:37Me?
00:15:38Or her?
00:15:41Look.
00:15:43Will you tell me one thing?
00:15:45One of us.
00:15:46Will you cut that out?
00:15:48Is there no way at all of telling you two girls apart?
00:15:51We're identical.
00:15:51I thought I told you that.
00:15:59It's all right, dear.
00:16:01He's not going to do anything.
00:16:03You don't think so, huh?
00:16:05No, I don't.
00:16:06I know what our rights are and so would a judge.
00:16:09And one of them is the constitutional right not to say anything that might incriminate us.
00:16:13Constitutional right, she says.
00:16:15And will you please leave?
00:16:16Or do you want me to call our lawyer now?
00:16:19Okay, Miss Collins.
00:16:20I'm a policeman, not a lawyer.
00:16:21So I'll give you this round.
00:16:22But just one round, remember.
00:16:23So don't try to duck out or anything like that because we're going to unravel this thing yet.
00:16:27The law's never been licked yet by one of these Rube Goldberg defenses.
00:16:30And it's not going to start with this one.
00:16:32And bring a warrant next time you come with the name already written in.
00:16:34Say, what did you do?
00:16:36Did you read up on this before you did it?
00:16:37Never mind telling me.
00:16:38I don't want to hear it.
00:16:48Uh, I forgot to tell you, Lieutenant.
00:16:50Yeah?
00:16:51It's two of them.
00:16:52Two twins.
00:16:53Did you get that?
00:16:54Yeah, I got that.
00:16:55Look, very much alike the fellow was telling me.
00:16:57Some people can't even tell him a part he said.
00:16:59Can't they really?
00:17:00Well, that's the way twins are, you know.
00:17:02Yeah, thanks.
00:17:03I can see you've got your eyes open all right.
00:17:06Well, I try to keep on my toes as much as possible, Lieutenant.
00:17:09And don't think we don't appreciate it either.
00:17:12Good night.
00:17:13Good night, Lieutenant.
00:17:16Thank you, sir.
00:17:21It's no use.
00:17:23There isn't even a piece of print on this handle.
00:17:25Gloves?
00:17:26Could be.
00:17:26You know there ought to be a state law against the sale of gloves to murderers.
00:17:30You know what they do in the old days?
00:17:31That's no good.
00:17:32Ladies' brew's too easy.
00:17:33Get me Judge Hill.
00:17:35Yes, sir.
00:17:40Judge Hill.
00:17:42You know, Lieutenant, I was just thinking.
00:17:44Yeah?
00:17:45I was just thinking, maybe one of these babies has got a birthmark somewhere.
00:17:48And I was just wondering if it might not be a good idea if I ran back there and made
00:17:53a kind of a thorough examination of both of them.
00:17:57Just an idea.
00:17:58All right.
00:17:59Now, if you're through with the comedy relief, here's a list of witnesses I want you to get after.
00:18:02Have them here at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:18:03Sharp.
00:18:10I want a couple of warrants for Ruth Collins and Teresa Collins.
00:18:15That's right.
00:18:16Charge, suspicion of murder.
00:18:17Yes, sir.
00:18:19Yes, sir.
00:18:19Both of them.
00:18:20What?
00:18:22I'm going to hang numbers on their backs like football players.
00:18:32All right.
00:18:32Bring her in.
00:18:40Where do you live, Collins?
00:18:43492 Candale Avenue.
00:18:44Have you ever been arrested before?
00:18:46No.
00:18:47Turn around.
00:18:52That's her, all right.
00:18:53No question in the world.
00:18:54Bring her in.
00:18:55Nowhere in a million.
00:18:56Came to me face to go.
00:18:58All right.
00:18:59Your name, Teresa Collins?
00:19:01It is.
00:19:03You two girls are held in suspicion of murder.
00:19:06What have you got to say for yourselves?
00:19:08Neither one of us intends to say anything until we've talked to a lawyer.
00:19:12Well, how do you like that?
00:19:14Knower in a million, huh?
00:19:22What do you think, Doc?
00:19:23Really?
00:19:24No idea, Rusty.
00:19:26It's hard to believe she could have done such a thing.
00:19:28Oh, she didn't.
00:19:29I know she didn't.
00:19:30Those guys are crazy.
00:19:32Hey, you better have a lemon drop.
00:19:34Good for the nerves.
00:19:37Send them in.
00:19:38Will you go in, please?
00:19:43They're not going to get me to say one word against her.
00:19:45I'll tell you that right now.
00:19:47I knew her too well.
00:19:56We're sorry, Rusty.
00:19:59Dr. Elliot, Mr. District Attorney.
00:20:01Thank you very much for coming over, Doc.
00:20:02Not at all, sir.
00:20:03Sit down, will you?
00:20:09I don't think this is going to take us very long, Rusty.
00:20:12You told Lieutenant Stevenson that you saw Dr. Peralta and the girl at the magazine stand talking and apparently arguing
00:20:18on the morning of the day Dr. Peralta was killed.
00:20:21Is that right?
00:20:22Uh, yes, sir.
00:20:23Can you tell me which girl that was?
00:20:28No, sir.
00:20:29You're sure of that?
00:20:30Well, I didn't know that there were two of them.
00:20:35Quite a coincidence, doctor.
00:20:39Uh, quite.
00:20:43Scott Elliot, psychologist, B.A., M.D. and Ph.D., author of Twins, a Clinical Study, Mental Traits of Identical
00:20:50Twins, Twins and Siblings, all published by the State University Press.
00:20:53Yes, your own particular field, in fact.
00:20:56Well, I have devoted quite some time and study to the subject.
00:20:59Did you know there were twins in this case?
00:21:02No.
00:21:03One at a time, twins look a good deal like, uh, like singletons.
00:21:07Incidentally, is there any foundation for the old popular belief that twins are usually penalized in some way by nature,
00:21:14either physically or psychically?
00:21:17No, no, that's a superstition.
00:21:20Well, that clears that up.
00:21:22Well, Lieutenant Stevenson reports that you had some kind of conversation with Dr. Perala that morning.
00:21:26Would you mind repeating what was said?
00:21:29He asked me if I'd ever come across a case of split personality.
00:21:33Go on.
00:21:34Well, of course, I told him I had.
00:21:37And then he asked if there was ever any danger in such a case.
00:21:41He used the word danger?
00:21:43Yes.
00:21:43Or if I thought all that kind of thing was exaggerated.
00:21:46To which you replied?
00:21:48I told him I couldn't say.
00:21:50Well, I couldn't answer him with a generality when it was obvious he had something specific in mind.
00:21:55And then he said something, uh, oh, I had a battle with her this morning and I'm seeing her tonight.
00:22:00It's rather important.
00:22:03And we separated.
00:22:07Seeing whom tonight?
00:22:09Miss Collins, I supposed.
00:22:11Which one?
00:22:15I have no idea.
00:22:18Well, then, can you tell me now which one of these girls was behind the counter that morning?
00:22:24No.
00:22:26That's all.
00:22:27Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for helping us out here this morning.
00:22:32Take the girls outside for a moment.
00:22:42You see?
00:22:43You're going to let them get away with it?
00:22:45What else can I do, lieutenant?
00:22:46You haven't a witness that can tell one girl from the other.
00:22:49I wouldn't have a ghost of a chance in court.
00:22:51A kid just out of law school could make a monkey out of me with a setup like that.
00:22:55I couldn't even get an indictment from the grand jury.
00:22:57They'd want to know which one, too.
00:22:59But one of them murdered him, you know.
00:23:01I'm sure of it.
00:23:02And you tell me which one, and I'll put her in the chair.
00:23:04I have just as much concern for the proper operation of the law as you, lieutenant.
00:23:08But in this case, we're helpless.
00:23:10If you have no more evidence than you've shown me,
00:23:12it would simply be a waste of time to try to take it into court.
00:23:15Okay.
00:23:17Let's have them back.
00:23:24Come in.
00:23:35One of you women is a murderess.
00:23:37You've killed a man in cold blood.
00:23:40The other is an accomplice.
00:23:42But the law upholds your refusal to give any testimony under the circumstances.
00:23:46It also forbids the indiscriminate prosecution of more than one person
00:23:50in order to make sure of one guilty one.
00:23:53This protection now enables you to become
00:23:55parties to an outrageous and shameful miscarriage of justice.
00:24:00I have no words adequate to express my contempt and abhorrence for both of you.
00:24:05Now get out.
00:24:07We're free?
00:24:10You're free.
00:24:16Goodbye, lieutenant.
00:24:18Au revoir, Miss Collins.
00:24:21Miss Collins.
00:24:47I'm sorry, Stokey.
00:24:49I don't mind ordinary music.
00:24:50It's the wonderful stuff that bores me.
00:24:53And that's snobbish, you know.
00:24:55Well, this is an ordinary place.
00:24:56Where are the gimmicks?
00:24:58Gimmicks?
00:24:58Don't you witch doctors treat people with tinker toys?
00:25:02They're in the laboratory at the university.
00:25:04What about that office you keep at the medical building?
00:25:06Just a convenient place to get case histories.
00:25:09I don't practice, really.
00:25:11Would you have a lemon drop?
00:25:12No, thanks.
00:25:13Sit down.
00:25:18Have you ever given any thought to this twin case?
00:25:22I supposed you'd given that one up.
00:25:25Mm-mm.
00:25:25No.
00:25:26Not me.
00:25:28Not me personally.
00:25:29This is on my own time.
00:25:31You don't look ambitious.
00:25:33It's not ambition.
00:25:34I'm just peculiar.
00:25:35I don't like a perfect crime, not even in books.
00:25:38I don't like to think things are organized that way,
00:25:40so somebody can beat a square rep.
00:25:44Yes, I've thought about it.
00:25:46I rather like those girls.
00:25:47Oh, one of them, anyway.
00:25:48She seemed very nice.
00:25:50You don't know which one?
00:25:52No, I'm afraid not.
00:25:54I never had a chance to talk to them together.
00:25:56You think you'd know if you did?
00:25:58I imagine so.
00:26:00You couldn't tell that day in the DA's office, could you?
00:26:03No.
00:26:05You see, the whole thing just burns me to a crisp.
00:26:09Why?
00:26:10How do you know somebody else didn't do it?
00:26:11I don't.
00:26:12In the meantime, I'll play along with the twins,
00:26:14at least one of them.
00:26:15Do you realize, Doc, that one of those girls
00:26:17could knock that guy off in the corner of Broad and Main
00:26:19with 50 witnesses, and we still couldn't hang it on her?
00:26:23Oh, I guess not.
00:26:25I could be in that room myself
00:26:26and see her plant that knife with my own eyes.
00:26:29And do you know I couldn't make it stick
00:26:30unless I grabbed her by the wrist and held onto her
00:26:32until I had her in solitary?
00:26:34I just can't bear it, I tell you.
00:26:36I can't bear it.
00:26:38So?
00:26:38So, first, tell me this.
00:26:41You're a twin expert.
00:26:43Do you know anything whatever about those two dames
00:26:46that would give me a chance to begin to work?
00:26:49Well, sure.
00:26:50What?
00:26:51The crime.
00:26:52The crime?
00:26:54Well, of course.
00:26:55You don't suppose just anyone could commit a murder, do you?
00:26:59You're going to have to be very patient with me.
00:27:01Just what do you mean by that?
00:27:03Character.
00:27:04Personality.
00:27:06Not even nature can duplicate character, even in twins.
00:27:09I interviewed a pair of twins one time
00:27:11so alike that dogs got mixed up about them.
00:27:14Once living a thousand miles apart,
00:27:16they both got toothaches in the same tooth,
00:27:19and each one had that tooth pulled out.
00:27:21Do you know why they were living that far apart?
00:27:24Why?
00:27:25Because one was lecturing at a big eastern university,
00:27:28and the other was serving a stretch in Leavenworth.
00:27:32Different characters.
00:27:34I see.
00:27:36Well, it's the, uh,
00:27:38it's the same here, I should say.
00:27:39If you're right about these girls,
00:27:40one could,
00:27:41one couldn't commit murder,
00:27:43and, well, that's all there is to it.
00:27:46Yeah, that's all there is to it.
00:27:49Constitutional rights.
00:27:52Oh, well.
00:27:53Another thing.
00:27:55Do you often interview twins?
00:27:57Often.
00:27:58But not for the police.
00:28:01What about the one you've liked?
00:28:04What about her?
00:28:06Suppose she's innocent.
00:28:10There's no particular reason to believe she's in any danger,
00:28:13if that's what you mean.
00:28:15Living with a killer?
00:28:20It's really not my business, that kind of thing.
00:28:22If one of them kills that way with a knife,
00:28:25don't you think there's a chance she'd kill again her sister
00:28:28if she ever became nervous about it?
00:28:30Don't about it.
00:28:31I'll never ask you the name.
00:28:32Or proof.
00:28:33I'll bet not.
00:28:34I swear it, on anything you say,
00:28:36someday you call me and say you found the answer
00:28:39and I'll be satisfied.
00:28:40Why?
00:28:41I've already told you,
00:28:42because then I'll know there's still no such thing
00:28:44as a perfect crime.
00:28:45The system worked.
00:28:46You still can't beat a square rap.
00:28:55Social regularity, huh?
00:28:56If that's your name for it.
00:29:00Well, it's out of the question, the whole idea.
00:29:03I'm not a detective,
00:29:05and there's no reason whatever to assume
00:29:06I could be of the slightest help to her.
00:29:09Besides, I didn't say I was in love with a girl.
00:29:12Simply said I liked her.
00:29:14But how do I know she wasn't the one who did it?
00:29:16You can't just look at a person and tell a thing like that.
00:29:19For all I know,
00:29:20she may have been killing people for years,
00:29:21both of them.
00:29:23All I said was that she was very pleasant,
00:29:26very nice,
00:29:27and it's...
00:29:29it's not easy to believe that...
00:29:38Why, Mr. Lemondrops?
00:29:41Well, it couldn't be anybody but Terry.
00:29:43How are you, Doc?
00:29:44Glad to see you.
00:29:45Thanks.
00:29:45You too, over here.
00:29:46Thanks.
00:29:47Still chomping on that cast-iron candy.
00:29:49I've told you before,
00:29:50I don't chomping.
00:29:52I wear them down.
00:29:57Well, no wonder I never got it.
00:29:59Didn't you really?
00:30:00An expert like you?
00:30:01Nope.
00:30:02Obviously, you were both wonderful.
00:30:04Oh, I'd almost forgotten
00:30:05there was such a thing as kidding.
00:30:08Things haven't been so good, eh?
00:30:09Not so good.
00:30:11You saw the papers,
00:30:12those pictures.
00:30:13We're celebrities now.
00:30:15No work, you mean?
00:30:15One look at our face
00:30:17and they don't forget.
00:30:18Not in this town.
00:30:19That's a little rugged.
00:30:21Well, you can't blame them.
00:30:23You saw what the district attorney said.
00:30:24I wish you wouldn't say things like that.
00:30:27Well, he knows.
00:30:28He must have read the papers
00:30:29everybody else did.
00:30:30I know, but...
00:30:32Well, then maybe my idea,
00:30:34that is the real reason why I'm here,
00:30:36maybe of some good to you as well as me.
00:30:38How do you mean?
00:30:40Well, I'd like to add you two
00:30:41to my collection of twins.
00:30:44Well, I'm the old twin student, remember?
00:30:46And I'd like very much
00:30:47to add you girls to it.
00:30:48Well, I'd pay you something.
00:30:50Of course, not much,
00:30:50but it'll only be an hour or so each day
00:30:53at your own convenience.
00:30:54We did that once
00:30:55when we were kids in Chicago.
00:30:57Well, then you know generally what it is.
00:30:59Physical, verbal, psychological,
00:31:00the standard stuff.
00:31:01Are you quite sure
00:31:02you're not doing this for the police?
00:31:04I was gathering data on twins
00:31:06before I ever met a policeman.
00:31:08I was doing it long
00:31:09before I laid eyes on either of you girls.
00:31:11It's been my main preoccupation
00:31:13in research for years.
00:31:14And I'll probably still be doing it
00:31:16after you're both married
00:31:18and settled down with twins of your own,
00:31:21which you're very likely to have, you know.
00:31:23What exactly is your purpose in this?
00:31:25The purpose of all research,
00:31:27to learn as much as possible
00:31:28about the subject.
00:31:29In this case,
00:31:30to add to my knowledge
00:31:31of identical twins.
00:31:32And you'd pay us?
00:31:34$25 a week apiece.
00:31:36Well, that's the customary allowance.
00:31:38And for that,
00:31:39I'd expect you to come to the laboratory
00:31:40at least three times a week,
00:31:43separately,
00:31:43for not more than, oh,
00:31:45two hours anyway on each visit.
00:31:47What do you think?
00:31:49I don't think we're interested.
00:31:51I don't like the idea of being a guinea pig.
00:31:53Well, I don't want to press you
00:31:55if you're afraid in any way.
00:31:56We have nothing to be afraid of, Doctor.
00:31:59Nothing but snoopers.
00:32:02In that case,
00:32:04there's nothing more to be said.
00:32:06I'm sorry if I've given that impression
00:32:08and I apologize.
00:32:10I'm sorry, too.
00:32:11I think we should do it.
00:32:14I don't think Dr. Elliot's a snooper
00:32:16and I know of no other reason
00:32:17why we shouldn't
00:32:17and we could certainly use the money.
00:32:19You don't mind being asked
00:32:21a lot of personal questions?
00:32:23Why should I?
00:32:24Or why should you?
00:32:26If it's for a good purpose.
00:32:28I think we should do it
00:32:29because there's no reason
00:32:31for us to fear it
00:32:32because we do need the money
00:32:33and because, well,
00:32:35we've always liked Dr. Elliot.
00:32:37Both of us.
00:32:39Well, then let's leave it like this.
00:32:40Talk it over between yourselves
00:32:42and call me.
00:32:43I hope you can see things Terry's way
00:32:45but if you can't,
00:32:46I'll understand and no harm done.
00:32:47Goodbye now.
00:32:48Goodbye.
00:32:49Goodbye, Terry.
00:32:50I hope I'll be seeing you both soon.
00:32:52Goodbye, Doctor.
00:32:53We'll call you.
00:32:53Please do.
00:33:03What's the matter with you?
00:33:07Do you think that was very wise?
00:33:10Why?
00:33:10What are you afraid of?
00:33:11I'm not afraid.
00:33:13It's...
00:33:13Don't lie about it.
00:33:14You are afraid.
00:33:15You're more and more afraid every day.
00:33:17Why?
00:33:18Terry, you know very well what it is.
00:33:21You think I killed him.
00:33:22Why don't you admit it?
00:33:23But I don't.
00:33:24You know I don't.
00:33:26Then why are you so frightened?
00:33:28Terry, if they knew which one of us
00:33:29was in his apartment that night,
00:33:30you know what that would mean.
00:33:32He proposed to me there
00:33:33and I said yes.
00:33:35Why should I kill him?
00:33:36I know that, dear.
00:33:38I know you didn't do it.
00:33:39I know it so well
00:33:40that I'm willing to do anything
00:33:41to keep them from learning
00:33:42you were in his apartment that night.
00:33:44That's the only reason I'm frightened.
00:33:46Believe me, dear.
00:33:47Please believe me.
00:33:49Well, then, is there anything about yourself
00:33:51that you're afraid for Elliot to learn?
00:33:53Oh, of course not.
00:33:56Well, then, stop worrying.
00:33:58There's no need for it.
00:34:00And besides,
00:34:01he's very attractive.
00:34:03Very good-looking.
00:34:05I like him.
00:34:33You don't think we could fool you now?
00:34:35No, not anymore, Terry.
00:34:37I even have you spotted
00:34:38at the magazine stand.
00:34:39How do you mean?
00:34:40Well, I know some of the times
00:34:41when it was you
00:34:42and some when it was Ruth.
00:34:44Not all of them, of course,
00:34:45but some.
00:34:48What was the difference?
00:34:49I don't know.
00:34:51Meaning I'm not sure yet.
00:34:53Which one did you like the best?
00:34:55Oh, you.
00:34:56Really?
00:34:57Sit over here, will you?
00:35:02Why?
00:35:03Why what?
00:35:04Why do you say you like me best?
00:35:07Because that's always the answer
00:35:08during office hours.
00:35:14What's this one?
00:35:16These are pictures of ink blots.
00:35:19Actually,
00:35:19the kind you probably made yourself
00:35:21when you were a child.
00:35:22Just blobs of ink
00:35:23and the paper folded over.
00:35:24What's it for?
00:35:26It's another way
00:35:27of examining personality.
00:35:29Now, I'm going to hand them
00:35:30to you one by one.
00:35:32And all you have to do
00:35:33is tell me what you see there.
00:35:35What it looks like to you.
00:35:38Quicky?
00:35:38If you see it quickly, sure.
00:35:40As soon as you make something
00:35:41out of it, you tell me.
00:35:42That's all.
00:35:43You ready?
00:35:44Mm-hmm.
00:35:46Now, face that way, please.
00:35:51What does it look like to you?
00:35:53It might be a mask.
00:35:55You see?
00:35:56The black slanting holes for eyes,
00:35:58heavy eyebrows,
00:35:59and pursed lips
00:36:00give it a fixed expression.
00:36:02Anything else?
00:36:03May I turn it?
00:36:05Any way you wish.
00:36:09This looks like the face
00:36:10of a white lamb
00:36:11with a black nose.
00:36:13It's got a mark on its forehead.
00:36:15It looks like a moth
00:36:16spreading its wings
00:36:17over a butterfly.
00:36:18Beneath its front paws
00:36:20are two men,
00:36:21face down.
00:36:22with their arms outstretched.
00:36:24It all seems symbolic
00:36:25of something.
00:36:25The lamb looks so innocent.
00:36:27But it has two men
00:36:28under its paws.
00:36:29Symbolic of what?
00:36:32The lamb of death.
00:36:37I wonder if you're really
00:36:39as cool as you pretend.
00:36:41Oh, no, I'm not.
00:36:42I don't think so either.
00:36:43Outside the office,
00:36:44I'm Robert Taylor
00:36:46with jet propulsion.
00:36:47What do you see in this one?
00:36:53What does it look like
00:36:54to you, Terry?
00:36:56These are two men,
00:36:57back to back,
00:36:59but they don't seem
00:36:59to be aware of each other.
00:37:01Now it's changing
00:37:02into the full face of a man
00:37:04with drooping mustache
00:37:04and slanting eyes.
00:37:07And this is a dancer,
00:37:09a woman,
00:37:09dancing with a puppet.
00:37:11Now you see the puppet
00:37:12reaching to pat a cruel rival
00:37:14that pretends not to see her,
00:37:15but all the time
00:37:16he's trying to reach near enough
00:37:17to do her some harm.
00:37:19May I have a cigarette, please?
00:37:35By the way,
00:37:36why did you leave Nebraska, Ruth?
00:37:39Well, we've been living
00:37:39on this farm for about a year,
00:37:41and the farmer's wife
00:37:43wanted to adopt me legally.
00:37:44The doctor said
00:37:45she couldn't have any children,
00:37:46but they could only afford
00:37:48to adopt one of us.
00:37:49Why'd they pick you
00:37:50instead of Terry, do you know?
00:37:52Oh, it just happened,
00:37:54I suppose,
00:37:54no particular reason.
00:37:55There's not much choice
00:37:56between twins, you know.
00:37:57But Terry was very upset
00:37:59when she heard about it,
00:38:00naturally,
00:38:00so we just decided
00:38:01to pull out, that's all.
00:38:05What do you see in this one?
00:38:09Well, these are two people
00:38:11in costume,
00:38:12and they're dancing
00:38:13around a maypole.
00:38:14They're bending over
00:38:15because they've just about
00:38:16wound up the ribbons.
00:38:17Is that what you want?
00:38:19That's it.
00:38:20Anything else?
00:38:22Turn it, if you wish.
00:38:24Oh.
00:38:28These are two skaters,
00:38:30like in the ice show,
00:38:31and they're leaning backward
00:38:33with one foot high in the air
00:38:34and their arms extended.
00:38:40Uh, how'd Terry find out,
00:38:42do you know?
00:38:43Hmm?
00:38:43Oh, the farmer, I think.
00:38:45He never liked it
00:38:46from the beginning
00:38:47for some reason.
00:38:48Was he cranky?
00:38:50No, I got along fine with him,
00:38:52but Terry, for some reason...
00:38:54What do you see in this one?
00:38:56Oh, these are two old ladies
00:38:58sitting back to back
00:38:59in an open street car
00:39:01like the old cable cars
00:39:02in San Francisco,
00:39:02and they seem frightened.
00:39:04They've got...
00:39:05They're holding on
00:39:06to the arms of their chairs
00:39:07with their hands,
00:39:08and they've got their feet
00:39:08tucked tightly under their seats.
00:39:10Oh, look at those chins.
00:39:13And this is a drum majorette
00:39:15with a high, bearskin shako.
00:39:17And she's very straight
00:39:18and graceful,
00:39:19light-footed,
00:39:21and she's got her knee
00:39:22high in the air.
00:39:26Thank you very much.
00:39:29Hello.
00:39:31Well, it's about time.
00:39:34Sorry I'm late.
00:39:36What'd you do?
00:39:37Go through town?
00:39:38No.
00:39:39Scott and I just got to talking.
00:39:42Talking?
00:39:43After that inkblot stuff.
00:39:45Who do you suppose
00:39:46ever thought that went up?
00:39:47Talking about what?
00:39:49Oh, just gabbing.
00:39:51Chicago, movies.
00:39:53When we were kids.
00:39:55Not about us.
00:39:56No, mostly about himself.
00:39:58He was really awfully funny
00:40:00about when he went to school.
00:40:01He must have been.
00:40:03He was, really.
00:40:04Once he drops that office act,
00:40:06he's really an awful lot of fun.
00:40:07The way he used to be
00:40:08around the cigar stand, remember?
00:40:10Is that his line
00:40:11down memory lane?
00:40:12I don't think it was a line.
00:40:13He just seemed to want to talk,
00:40:15that's all.
00:40:16Nothing romantic.
00:40:17I'm afraid not.
00:40:19Dear me,
00:40:20you sound disappointed.
00:40:22No.
00:40:24Not falling for him, are you?
00:40:26My goodness, Terry.
00:40:27Sometimes it seems as if
00:40:28that were all you ever thought
00:40:29about falling for somebody.
00:40:31Of course not.
00:40:32Just don't want to see you
00:40:33do anything foolish,
00:40:34that's all.
00:40:35Yes, Mama.
00:40:36Because I'm not convinced yet
00:40:38that he's being strictly
00:40:39on the level with us
00:40:40in this thing.
00:40:43Well, I don't know, of course.
00:40:46Oh, I can't believe it.
00:40:48Well, perhaps not.
00:40:50But if I were you,
00:40:51I'd be just a little careful.
00:40:53Not too friendly.
00:40:54Yet.
00:40:58If only we weren't so...
00:41:00I know.
00:41:01It's not very pleasant.
00:41:03But as long as we are,
00:41:04we'll just have to be
00:41:05on our guard with everybody.
00:41:08Particularly him.
00:41:32Don't be afraid.
00:41:46well it's something i hadn't figured on never even dreamed of well i'm not going to ask any
00:41:51questions i said i wouldn't and i won't all i can do is stand here a poor broken down old
00:41:56policeman
00:41:56and wait for whatever you want to tell me well you know the inkblot test i've made several other
00:42:02kinds of tests to check and cross check but in the inkblot test about 80 of the people who study
00:42:08the blots will see generally the same figures the same illusions and visions what the other 20
00:42:14see in the same blots reflecting the true secret patterns of their own minds and personalities
00:42:20is quite illuminating and pretty accurate uh-huh in this particular case there doesn't seem to be
00:42:25much room for doubt about one thing what one of our young ladies is insane very clever very
00:42:33intelligent but insane
00:42:40now this one's called a free association test and it's so simple that even i understand what i'm
00:42:45doing look if all this is to find out which of us is the smarter i can save you a
00:42:49lot of time
00:42:49it's terry is that official you know it's a funny thing about us i'm older than she is
00:42:54seven minutes and 55 seconds but that isn't the way it feels all our lives she's been the older
00:42:59sister always helping and protecting me uh sit over there please and like a mother too actually
00:43:06because we've been orphaned since we were 10
00:43:09i wish you'd get it out of your head that this is a contest
00:43:12i'm interested in absolute not comparative results yes professor
00:43:19you know something what i'm a very pleased man today good which i haven't been for uh almost a
00:43:27week no because you haven't seemed happy i'm sorry i was afraid i'd done something that offended
00:43:34you oh no well i didn't mean to i assure you it was something else
00:43:40i was a little worried about something else but it's all right now yes it's okay now
00:43:47good that's the way it ought to be
00:43:51well uh back to cold science i'm going to give you some words one at a time
00:43:57and as soon as you hear the words you answer with the first word that comes into your mind
00:44:00not a sentence just a single word and answer as quickly as you can that's the important part of it
00:44:06speed
00:44:08are you ready

00:44:42River.
00:44:43Lake.
00:44:46But how could you have said it?
00:44:48How do I know? It just popped out.
00:44:51But I don't understand all this fuss.
00:44:53What possible harm can it do?
00:44:56None.
00:44:57None whatever.
00:44:58I don't give two cents for that fellow in his kindergarten games.
00:45:03I can do that stuff 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
00:45:05and beat him at it every time.
00:45:07He doesn't frighten me with that stuff.
00:45:10That's you I'm worried about.
00:45:12But why?
00:45:13Because it shows your mind still on that thing,
00:45:16and you can't deny it.
00:45:17When he said mirror and you automatically said death,
00:45:19that proved it. It may not mean a thing to him,
00:45:21but it does to me because I understand some of that mumbo jumbo,
00:45:24and it's a dead giveaway that it's still in your mind
00:45:26and I had something to do with it.
00:45:30Terry, please.
00:45:32I've told you.
00:45:34Why do you...
00:45:35Why do you keep saying a thing like that?
00:45:39Forget it.
00:45:40But you've no right even to think.
00:45:43Why do you take those sleeping pills every night?
00:45:45Because I can't sleep without them, of course.
00:45:48Why can't you?
00:45:50Because my nerves are still bad.
00:45:51I haven't gotten over everything yet.
00:45:54Neither of us has.
00:45:56Is that all?
00:45:57What other reason could there be?
00:46:00Not your conscience, perhaps.
00:46:02My conscience about what?
00:46:05Perhaps you're sorry you didn't tell the police all you know.
00:46:09Maybe that's what's troubling you.
00:46:12Maybe you're thinking you should do it even now.
00:46:14But that's utterly ridiculous.
00:46:16Such a thought never ended my head.
00:46:17Because if you are,
00:46:20there's the phone right there.
00:46:23Oh, Terry, stop it.
00:46:24You're talking nonsense.
00:46:25Am I?
00:46:26Of course you are.
00:46:28I hope so.
00:46:30Because if you ever suspected me,
00:46:33I don't know what I'd do.
00:46:37I really don't.
00:46:38I don't know.

00:47:10Thorn.
00:47:17I have an idea you aren't very much impressed with any of this stuff actually, are you, Terry?
00:47:22No.
00:47:22Then why do you think I'm here?
00:47:24Just humoring the old professor, I imagine.
00:47:27That all?
00:47:28Oh, nothing else to do.
00:47:30Hadn't it ever occur to you that I might like seeing you?
00:47:33No, it hadn't to tell the truth.
00:47:35Don't you like to see me?
00:47:37If you knew how anxious I was for you to get here this afternoon, you wouldn't have to ask that.
00:47:42Honest?
00:47:44Very honest.
00:47:45Then maybe we could see each other outside the office sometime.
00:47:48Oh, we will, I'm sure.
00:47:50Would you like to?
00:47:52Very much.
00:47:53All right.
00:47:54When?
00:47:54Soon.
00:47:56But not until we finish with these tests, I'm afraid.
00:47:58What's that got to do with it?
00:48:00Look, it's hard enough for me to keep my mind on science as it is.
00:48:04Please, just don't make it any more difficult for me.
00:48:07All right.
00:48:07But the first night afterward?
00:48:09It's a date.
00:48:10The very next night.
00:48:11Remember.
00:48:12I'll remember, Terry.
00:48:13Good night.
00:48:18I was really crazy about that boy.
00:48:21But Terry simply couldn't stand him.
00:48:22She insisted he wasn't on the level and that's the way it turned out.
00:48:25He wasn't.
00:48:26How'd you find out?
00:48:27He dated her one night and she told me.
00:48:30Terry's turned in, I guess.
00:48:34How many men have you been crazy about?
00:48:37Oh, that was just kid stuff.
00:48:39We're about 16 then, I think.
00:48:42All this autobiography I'm giving you.
00:48:45Is this for science too?
00:48:48No.
00:48:49No, this is personal.
00:48:51The more I know about you, the more I want to know.
00:48:53I want to know everything about you that's possible to know.
00:48:57For myself.
00:48:58And apparently you will.
00:49:01Good night.
00:49:02Uh, do you think when all this business is over I can call and ask you out for dinner,
00:49:07or dancing, or just to talk?
00:49:09In a purely personal way.
00:49:11You think you'll still want to?
00:49:13That's what I'm looking forward to.
00:49:15Do you mind?
00:49:17No.
00:49:18I like it.
00:49:20You're a wonder.
00:49:31Good night.
00:49:33Good night.
00:49:47Good night.
00:49:50It's all right.
00:49:51I'm not asleep.
00:49:53Don't turn on the light.
00:49:56I'll undress in the bathroom.
00:49:58Come here who came here?
00:50:01Come back here.
00:50:02You, let me walk up.
00:50:03Could just meet up every cabin and its лет.
00:50:31You're taking a sleeping pill tonight?
00:50:33I don't think so. I slept all right last night.
00:50:37I think you better take two.
00:50:39Two? What on earth for?
00:50:42Well, if you take two, maybe you won't be so troubled in your sleep.
00:50:47You mean I talk?
00:50:48Talk, cry. You scare me half to death sometimes.
00:50:53Good heavens. Dreaming, I suppose.
00:50:57No. You don't remember what you dream.
00:51:01Well, I don't remember even dreaming recently.
00:51:03You don't remember my waking you last night when you were sobbing?
00:51:08No. No what you said to me?
00:51:13No, what did I say?
00:51:15Such big, deep sobs, as if you were terrified,
00:51:19as if you were seeing something so dreadful you couldn't bear to face it.
00:51:22You don't remember what it was.
00:51:25I don't remember anything about it at all.
00:51:28But I thought you wakened.
00:51:31No.
00:51:33Pretty harrying for a few minutes.
00:51:37I can't imagine what it was to frighten me so.
00:51:40Has it happened before?
00:51:42A few times.
00:51:44One night you were rather gay for a change.
00:51:47Quite gay, in fact.
00:51:48Seems to have been something about Scott.
00:51:52Oh, dear.
00:51:54You think quite a lot of him, don't you?
00:51:57I do like him, but...
00:52:00Is he like you?
00:52:01Oh, some, I imagine.
00:52:05Ever say anything?
00:52:07You know, nothing serious.
00:52:10Just casual things.
00:52:12Ever kiss you?
00:52:14Uh-uh.
00:52:16He may be just trying to pump you, you know.
00:52:19Oh, I don't think so.
00:52:28Don't you want to know what seemed to be frightening you?
00:52:32I don't know whether I do or not.
00:52:35You've talked about it before in your sleep.
00:52:38You were worried about one of us being crazy.
00:52:43The old saying, you know, that one of twins is likely to be abnormal.
00:52:47But that's not true.
00:52:49That's a superstition.
00:52:51You heard Scott tell the district attorney that.
00:52:54I know.
00:52:56Why, that's an old wives' tale.
00:52:58We've heard it for years, both of us, but it's not true.
00:53:03Didn't you hear Scott say it wasn't?
00:53:05Yes, I heard him.
00:53:08Oh.
00:53:10This is so awful.
00:53:13It frightens me.
00:53:14The whole idea of talking and dreaming and sobbing and...
00:53:21remembering nothing about it.
00:53:24Well, it can't be very pleasant.
00:53:26But it's not really so important.
00:53:29Just bad dreams.
00:53:31I know.
00:53:34Such a thought.
00:54:12What's this one?
00:54:13Uh, blood pressure, Terry.
00:54:14Impulse, while we're talking.
00:54:17You mean a lie detector?
00:54:18That's the easy name for it.
00:54:20Do you mind?
00:54:20Why should I?
00:54:22What do you want me to talk about?
00:54:23I'll let you know when we're ready.
00:54:26How much more of this stuff have we got?
00:54:28Winding up this week.
00:54:30Friday afternoon and that's that.
00:54:32The whole thing?
00:54:34Yeah, the work's complete.
00:54:36Then Saturday night's the night.
00:54:38Night?
00:54:38If you tell me you've forgotten.
00:54:41Oh, sure.
00:54:43Remember?
00:54:44Yeah, that's right.
00:54:46Well?
00:54:47Oh, I'm afraid I did forget.
00:54:49I'm terribly sorry.
00:54:50You mean you can't make it?
00:54:52We're in the other night, but...
00:54:56What a man.
00:54:57And me thinking that you were simply living for that night.
00:55:01Well, it's inexcusable, I know.
00:55:02But we finished so much sooner than I expected.
00:55:05Who's my rival?
00:55:07You have no rival, you know that.
00:55:09That always the answer during office hours, too?
00:55:12Your memory's too good.
00:55:15Come on, let's get on with this now, shall we?
00:55:17And straighten that out later?
00:55:18Oh, there's nothing to straighten out.
00:55:19My heart's broken, that's all.
00:55:21Let's have the machine.
00:55:22All I want you to do is answer a few simple questions.
00:55:25Not on any forbidden subjects, so you need me worried about that.
00:55:28Well, it's all over the whole thing.
00:55:30Ask me anything you wish.
00:55:32Uh...
00:55:33Does that go for Ruth, too?
00:55:34Well, that you better ask her.
00:55:37Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
00:55:40Well, I hope so, anyway.
00:55:42You've both been through a pretty terrible ordeal.
00:55:44If you've managed to come out of it okay, that's...
00:55:47That's wonderful.
00:55:48Well, what are you going to ask me?
00:55:50Oh, you were telling me the other day about when you lived in Ohio, before you moved to Chicago, remember?
00:55:56Anything else interesting along about that time?
00:55:59Oh, offhand.
00:56:00Um, I believe that Ruth was telling me about a boy that she went with that you didn't care very
00:56:05much for.
00:56:08Oh, Freddie Eklund.
00:56:10Yes, I think that was the name.
00:56:12In, uh...
00:56:14In Dayton.
00:56:15Why? What did she say?
00:56:18Oh, she just said that you told her he wasn't on the level.
00:56:20And proved it.
00:56:22Was she complaining?
00:56:23Good heavens, no.
00:56:25She was grateful you know how she depends on you.
00:56:27She was just rambling along about how you've always looked after her, sort of like an older sister, she says.
00:56:33Did she tell you that I knew him first?
00:56:35No.
00:56:36I don't believe she did.
00:56:38Well, that's the truth of the matter.
00:56:40I met him first and introduced him to her.
00:56:42And he didn't care in the slightest for her, and I knew it.
00:56:45And then he started going round with her, without her even dreaming for one second that it was actually me
00:56:50that he was interested in.
00:57:14Terry.
00:57:16Terry!
00:57:18Hm?
00:57:19Hm?
00:57:21What is it, dear?
00:57:23That light again.
00:57:25Wake up, dear.
00:57:27You're dreaming again.
00:57:29No, no, it wasn't a dream.
00:57:31Didn't you see it?
00:57:32There wasn't anything to see, dear.
00:57:34You're dreaming, I tell you.
00:57:36It wasn't a dream.
00:57:37I wasn't asleep.
00:57:38The whole room lighted up, Terry.
00:57:40I saw everything in a great flash.
00:57:42Now you're all right.
00:57:45There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:57:50Oh, but I was sure I saw it.
00:57:52I was sure of it.
00:57:54It doesn't matter.
00:57:56It really doesn't.
00:57:58But what is it?
00:58:00What do you think it is?
00:58:03Oh, something's happening to me and I don't know what it is.
00:58:06I don't understand it.
00:58:08You're just imagining things.
00:58:11Your nerves are playing little tricks on you, that's all.
00:58:15Oh, I'm so scared.
00:58:17I'm so scared.
00:58:18I don't know what to do.
00:58:24It's nothing, really.
00:58:37Just remember I'm with you.
00:58:39And I'm always going to be with you.
00:58:42No matter what it is.
00:58:53So, that's all there is to it.
00:58:57Yes, that's all there is, I'm afraid.
00:59:00I didn't promise you a great deal more, remember?
00:59:02All I can say positively is that Ruth didn't do it.
00:59:05She simply isn't capable of that sort of thing. That I know.
00:59:08That does narrow her down a bit, though.
00:59:11Terry's a paranoic.
00:59:13Paranoic has no more conscience, no more sense of right and wrong than a two-year-old.
00:59:18Paranoic's capable of anything.
00:59:21That's something, but not much.
00:59:22You can't run loonies until they've done something, broken some kind of law.
00:59:26If their families don't see fit to commit them, you just have to wait till somebody's set on fire.
00:59:31Unfortunately, pretty tough on Ruth.
00:59:35You've got to tell her, aren't you?
00:59:38I suppose so, but it's not going to be easy.
00:59:42Apparently, she hasn't the ghost of a suspicion.
00:59:44No? What about that double alibi?
00:59:47She could be tricked. Terry could trick her.
00:59:53Well, much obliged anyway, Doc.
00:59:56Yeah, sorry I couldn't have been more help to you, Lieutenant.
00:59:59Good night, Sergeant.
01:00:00Good night, Doc.
01:00:02Good night.
01:00:03You going to see Ruth again soon?
01:00:04I expect to.
01:00:05Tell her, right away, no matter how hard it is.
01:00:08I will.
01:00:08Because it's six to an even, you know.
01:00:10The other one's going to pop off again before it's over.
01:00:12It's quite possible.
01:00:14It's better than that, and watch out for yourself, too.
01:00:17Oh, I don't think I figure very seriously in her calculations.
01:00:20She didn't mind these tests.
01:00:22They were just another challenge to her.
01:00:24Another opportunity to show the world what contempt she has for it.
01:00:27That was the first tip off I got on her.
01:00:30I thought you said there was no pattern to a psychotic's calculations.
01:00:33Well, it's...
01:00:34Don't be too modest, Doc.
01:00:37All right.
01:00:37I'll tell her.
01:00:38When?
01:00:41Tonight.
01:00:42Tonight, if I can.
01:00:44Good night.
01:00:45Good night.
01:00:49You know, it might help if Terry came out and spit on the sidewalk or something.
01:00:54Then we could pick her up.
01:00:57If I was that young man, I'd feel a trifle nervous.
01:01:00Yeah?
01:01:00Why?
01:01:01Because from the way he tells it, whether he knows it or not, he looks very much to me like
01:01:05the new Peralta.
01:01:06Target for the night, huh?
01:01:07Uh-huh.
01:01:08That's the way it is, you know.
01:01:09The minute the doctor falls in love with the patient, from then on, he's about as useful
01:01:14as a papoose.
01:01:25Hello?
01:01:26Hello.
01:01:28Hello, Ruth.
01:01:29Hello, Scott.
01:01:31How are you, dear?
01:01:32Are you alone?
01:01:33Yes.
01:01:34Why?
01:01:36Well, I don't want Terry to know.
01:01:38Do you think I could see you alone sometime tonight?
01:01:41Of course.
01:01:42When?
01:01:43Anytime.
01:01:43Whenever you say.
01:01:45Could I make it rather late?
01:01:46Around 11?
01:01:48She'll be asleep by then.
01:01:4911's all right for me.
01:01:52Supposing I come to your apartment at 11 or a little after?
01:01:54I'll leave the front door unlocked and you come straight up the top of the stairs.
01:01:58I understand.
01:02:20Come in.
01:02:26Do you mind?
01:02:29What?
01:02:29No.
01:02:31Well, of course not.
01:02:32I couldn't be more pleased.
01:02:34Oh, you know very well, there's no one in the whole world I'd rather see walk in that door.
01:02:38I saw your light.
01:02:39I've been walking and I thought perhaps if you weren't busy for a little while.
01:02:42No, no, no.
01:02:43I was just wondering what to do next.
01:02:46Not that it's anything important.
01:02:48Feeling, uh, feeling depressed?
01:02:51I guess so.
01:02:52Something like that.
01:02:56Look, if you had your dinner, then what do you say?
01:02:59Instead of having dinner with me tomorrow night, how about having it with me tonight and tomorrow night?
01:03:04Oh, I didn't mean...
01:03:05And as many other nights as you can spare, too.
01:03:08But tonight, my dear, I think we should have it with music.
01:03:39You sure you don't want to tell me?
01:03:42What causes hallucinations?
01:03:45Hallucinations?
01:03:46Things you imagine you see or hear.
01:03:48What causes them?
01:03:50Oh, bad nerves.
01:03:52Just nerves?
01:03:55Or a sick mind.
01:04:07May I explain something?
01:04:09No, no, please don't.
01:04:11I think I'd like to go home now.
01:04:13Would you get my bag and gloves?
01:04:15I'll wait for you here and we'll go out this way.
01:04:18Of course, dear. I'll be right back.
01:04:19I'll be right back.
01:04:39I'll be right back.
01:04:51Uh, police headquarters.
01:04:54Uh, Lieutenant Stevenson, please.
01:04:59Lieutenant, this is Scott Elliott.
01:05:02What do you think of me in the role of a human booby trap?
01:05:06So you got the picture at last, huh?
01:05:08It's possible.
01:05:10Will you still be there at 10.30?
01:05:12I want to talk to you about something that's come up tonight.
01:05:15Something that may be a little more in your line than mine.
01:05:18I'll be right here, partner, from 10.30 on.
01:05:24She loaded again?
01:05:25Looks like it.
01:05:26He's a very smart guy for a college man.
01:05:49You ready?
01:05:50Thanks.
01:05:51Oh, come on.
01:05:52You can do better than that.
01:06:19I was worried.
01:06:20Where did you go?
01:06:22Walk.
01:06:24With Scott?
01:06:26No.
01:06:50Haven't you seen him?
01:06:52He called about seven.
01:06:54Who?
01:06:55Scott.
01:06:57I told you I haven't seen him.
01:07:01You just come in.
01:07:03Now I'm just going out.
01:07:05To dance.
01:07:11I don't know whether I ought to leave you here alone or not.
01:07:14Oh, don't be silly.
01:07:15I'm all right.
01:07:17Have you been taking your capsules?
01:07:19No.
01:07:20Why not?
01:07:22They're no good.
01:07:22Well, maybe you don't take enough.
01:07:26But be careful.
01:07:28Don't take too many.
01:07:34Look, darling.
01:07:38Try not to worry so much.
01:07:40No matter what happens, they can't do a thing without my consent.
01:07:45And I'll never in the world give that.
01:07:47Believe me.
01:07:48I'm no dear.
01:07:50So don't be too scared.
01:07:52We'll never be separated.
01:07:53You and I are going to be together.
01:07:56As long as we live.
01:07:58Remember that, darling.
01:07:59Always.
01:08:05Good night, dear.
01:08:07I won't stay out too late.
01:08:10Goodbye.
01:08:11Bye-bye.
01:08:48Bye-bye.
01:09:15Bye-bye.
01:09:47Come in.
01:09:51Oh, I'm so glad you came.
01:09:58Oh, I wondered about how you lived.
01:10:02I apologize for his neatness, but I have no woman around to keep it messed up all the time.
01:10:07I'll hold it.
01:10:09Could I get you something to drink?
01:10:10No, thanks.
01:10:11I hope I didn't alarm you with all that urgency and mystery.
01:10:15No, I was just puzzled that you felt you had to have some excuse.
01:10:18I'd have come anyway.
01:10:19You know that.
01:10:21Sit here.
01:10:49I'm sorry.
01:10:51You're so much alike.
01:10:52What was it you thought you saw in me that you didn't see in her?
01:10:56How can I answer that?
01:10:59All I know is that you're the one I fell in love with.
01:11:02What else do I have to know?
01:11:04Am I better looking than she is?
01:11:06Well, to me, you are, of course.
01:11:07Don't laugh.
01:11:09I'm serious.
01:11:10I want to know what you think the difference is.
01:11:14For instance, kiss me.
01:11:22Now, do you really believe you could tell that from one of Terry's?
01:11:25Or my lips from hers?
01:11:29I think so.
01:11:31Have you ever kissed Terry?
01:11:33No.
01:11:33Well, then how could you possibly know?
01:11:36How could you even say such a thing?
01:11:38I'm not sure, but...
01:11:41Well, I think I'd know in my heart.
01:11:44Would you really?
01:11:45I think so.
01:11:47Well, of course, I don't believe it for a second.
01:11:49But I wanted to ask you anyway, because...
01:11:52Well, after all, it's Terry they usually go for.
01:11:54She's the one that really sends them.
01:11:56But that's not true.
01:11:58Well, of course it's true.
01:12:00Terry's a smart one.
01:12:02I've told you that before.
01:12:04No.
01:12:06No, they don't go for her.
01:12:08That's the trouble with her.
01:12:09That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
01:12:11Well, I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.
01:12:14Well, it's not an easy thing to tell you, but I feel that I should.
01:12:19Terry's...
01:12:20She's not well.
01:12:21She's sick inside.
01:12:23And she needs help from you and from me, if possible.
01:12:27Sick?
01:12:28How?
01:12:31She's twisted inside.
01:12:34How it got started, I don't know.
01:12:36Some incident when you were babies, I imagine, that you've both forgotten.
01:12:39But there's a natural strong rivalry between sisters.
01:12:43And ever since that incident, whatever it was, it's grown more and more bitter in her until now, it's...
01:12:50It's abnormal.
01:12:51And she needs care and attention right away.
01:12:55Terry and I have never been rivals.
01:12:57Never.
01:12:58Not in the slightest.
01:13:00All women are rivals fundamentally.
01:13:02But it never bothers them because they automatically discount the successes of others and alibi their own failures on the
01:13:07grounds of circumstances.
01:13:09Luck, they say.
01:13:11But between sisters, it's a little more serious.
01:13:14The circumstances are generally about the same.
01:13:16So they have fewer excuses with which to comfort themselves.
01:13:20That's why sisters can hate each other with such terrifying intensity.
01:13:25As for twins, especially identical twins,
01:13:30when you must have some idea yourself what agonies of jealousy are possible.
01:13:39Go on.
01:13:46People, men particularly, find it easy enough to like you.
01:13:50You're natural and normal.
01:13:51By the grace of God, you've managed to escape that poison of rivalry and jealousy.
01:13:56But not she.
01:13:58In spite of the truth of what you say, that actually on the surface there's really so little to choose
01:14:01between you.
01:14:05That is, of course, a lie.
01:14:09I'm sorry, my dear, but it isn't.
01:14:11It's the whole history of her case, by her word as well as yours.
01:14:15Well, that boy in Dayton, remember?
01:14:17And the lawyer in Chicago.
01:14:19And that family that wanted to adopt you, but not her.
01:14:21It's the same story over and over and over again.
01:14:25Whichever they met first, it was you they preferred in the end.
01:14:28I've never listened to such utter nonsense in all my life.
01:14:31And I called you tonight because I want you to talk to her about this.
01:14:35I want you, as the one nearest and dearest to her, to persuade her to go to her doctor and
01:14:40put herself under his care.
01:14:41And I want you to get her to do this at once.
01:14:43And if I refuse to insult her with such incredible rot?
01:14:46But you mustn't.
01:14:47And I can't tell you how important it is that you get this care immediately.
01:14:51And if she refuses?
01:14:56If you refuse, Terry, I'm afraid I'll have to tell who killed Frank Peralta and why.
01:15:03I'll have to tell you why.
01:15:34You can't.
01:15:35You don't know.
01:15:38I think I do.
01:15:41Not that it matters.
01:15:43Because there's nothing you'll ever be able to do about it.
01:15:45Whatever you guess.
01:15:47Shall I remind you anyway?
01:15:49If you wish.
01:15:52Peralta was killed because the same thing happened to you again.
01:15:56It was Ruth he really loved.
01:15:58Without even knowing she existed.
01:16:00What was you he courted.
01:16:01Took to dinner, the movies, and the dance.
01:16:03Finally asked to marry him.
01:16:05He didn't know there were twins.
01:16:08All he knew was that every now and then the girl at the counter brought him a warmth that he
01:16:12missed at other times.
01:16:14That's what puzzled him.
01:16:15That's why he asked me about a split personality.
01:16:18Nor do I think you were aware of all this until that night in his apartment when he spoke of
01:16:22his curious difference in you from time to time.
01:16:24Then you knew what had happened again.
01:16:27It was Ruth he was in love with, not you.
01:16:30So you made sure that if you couldn't have his love, neither should Ruth.
01:16:37Who else have you told this to?
01:16:46I say who else have you told this ridiculous story to?
01:16:51Nobody else so far.
01:16:53And there'll be no need to tell it again if only you'll do what I suggest.
01:16:56Now go to your doctor and be guided wholly by what he says.
01:17:00I see no particular necessity for that.
01:17:02It's just as I told you.
01:17:04There's nothing whatever you can do about it, no matter how strongly you feel.
01:17:07You don't think so?
01:17:09No.
01:17:10I'm afraid you've just been wasting your time.
01:17:13Haven't you forgotten Ruth?
01:17:14Not at all.
01:17:15Well, you must have, because I can assure you she won't take this ridiculous story so lightly.
01:17:21I don't suppose so.
01:17:22She's been behaving so strangely lately that I wouldn't put anything past her.
01:17:26But I doubt if anybody would take seriously the word of a girl who suffers from hallucinations.
01:17:32Or hasn't she told you?
01:17:35Just a minute.
01:17:36What do you mean by that?
01:17:38Where's Ruth now?
01:17:39Look.
01:17:40Are you so sure you know which one you've kissed?
01:17:43Of course I am.
01:17:44Look closely.
01:17:46Are you certain?
01:17:53Hello.
01:17:55Speaking.
01:17:55Have you still got that Terry there with you?
01:17:59Well, could you bring her over by yourself, or do you want me to send the wagon?
01:18:03Just a minute.
01:18:05Who is that?
01:18:06A guy from the hospital.
01:18:07I'll be with you in a minute.
01:18:09Sorry, Doc, but I'm afraid I've got bad news for you.
01:18:12I got nervous after I left you, and I decided to come over here and take a look for myself.
01:18:16I hate to have to tell you this, but when I got in here...
01:18:21What?
01:18:26No.
01:18:38All right, Stevenson.
01:18:40I'll be right over.
01:18:46Ruth's dead.
01:18:48She's killed herself.
01:18:51Does that surprise you?
01:19:09I'm terribly sorry, Doc, but I...
01:19:11Oh.
01:19:13I'm terribly sorry, Miss Collins.
01:19:16Sit here.
01:19:18Uh, may I go in?
01:19:19Well, I suppose so, if you want to.
01:19:21The examiner's in there.
01:19:22You go with him, Franklin.
01:19:27Can you tell me what happened?
01:19:30She took some of this sleeping junk, apparently.
01:19:33It was empty on the washstand in the bathroom.
01:19:36She'd been taking it for the last two or three months.
01:19:40Miss Collins.
01:19:44I hate to have to ask you questions at a time like this,
01:19:47but did she have any reason that you know of?
01:19:50Yes, I'm afraid she did.
01:19:52What was it, Miss Collins?
01:19:54Her conscience.
01:19:56Oh, yeah?
01:19:58I don't...
01:19:59Well, now take your time, Miss Collins.
01:20:01I'm not pressing you.
01:20:02I know it's a tough situation.
01:20:04I'm all right.
01:20:05It's just I've been under such a strain, and now this.
01:20:11But she's free now, poor darling.
01:20:15And I have a right to some peace, too.
01:20:18Of course you have.
01:20:19Make a clean breast of it now, the whole thing.
01:20:22You'd be surprised how much better you feel.
01:20:30She killed him.
01:20:33She killed him?
01:20:36She said she didn't.
01:20:38But I know she did.
01:20:39I believed her at first.
01:20:41I kept on believing her for a long time.
01:20:43But now I know she did it.
01:20:45Take this down.
01:20:46That night, Miss Collins, what happened?
01:20:48When I got home from Jefferson Park, she was already in bed.
01:20:52I thought asleep.
01:20:54Then when it all came out, she got me to promise not to say anything.
01:20:57Because she knew I knew she'd been out with him.
01:20:59You believed her then?
01:21:00Yes, but...
01:21:02There was something the matter with Terry.
01:21:04She was sick inside.
01:21:07She was twisted.
01:21:09You mean Ruth?
01:21:10No, Terry.
01:21:12I'm Ruth.
01:21:13It was a kind of deep bitterness.
01:21:16Wait a minute.
01:21:17I thought you were Terry.
01:21:19No, I'm talking about Terry.
01:21:21I'm Ruth.
01:21:23But didn't you...
01:21:25Didn't I what?
01:21:27Nothing.
01:21:27I'm just a little...
01:21:29Go on.
01:21:31Well, then Scott found out about it.
01:21:33Something in those tests.
01:21:34And he told me tonight.
01:21:36He told me she was...
01:21:37not right.
01:21:39She was sick inside.
01:21:41With jealousy.
01:21:43That's why she killed him, Scott says.
01:21:45He didn't know there were two of us.
01:21:47All he knew was...
01:21:48Just a minute.
01:21:50What are you trying to pull?
01:21:52I'm just telling him what you told me, dear.
01:21:54Just about what you told me, remember?
01:21:56But this isn't Ruth.
01:21:58This is Terry.
01:21:59Now, Scott.
01:22:00We've been over all that once tonight.
01:22:02This is ridiculous.
01:22:04I know this girl almost as well as I know myself.
01:22:06And it's Terry.
01:22:07How do you know?
01:22:07How do I know?
01:22:08I've been studying them daily for almost two months.
01:22:11I have no more difficulty telling these girls apart than I have telling you and me apart.
01:22:15Can you prove it?
01:22:16Prove it?
01:22:16Yeah, all I know is that she says she's Ruth.
01:22:18She certainly sounds like Ruth.
01:22:19And unless you have some way of proving different...
01:22:21Shall I go on?
01:22:22You bet.
01:22:23I think we're beginning to get somewhere with this thing.
01:22:24Go right ahead.
01:22:26Well, the test only showed what I'd known for a long time.
01:22:28That she hated me.
01:22:29Hated me from the bottom of her heart.
01:22:31Because men found it easy enough to like me, but not her.
01:22:34It was the same story over and over and over again.
01:22:36Whichever they met first...
01:22:42I'm sorry, dear.
01:23:16You're not sore, are you, Doc?
01:23:18Of course not.
01:23:19The reason I didn't explain to you what I was going to do, I didn't know myself until I got
01:23:22here.
01:23:23It was only after a kind of a Dutch uncle talked with Ruth that the idea came to me.
01:23:27And then it was too late to explain anything.
01:23:28So I just had to take a chance, that's all.
01:23:30Well, all I can say is you aged me ten years.
01:23:33But under the circumstances, I forgive you.
01:23:35Do you want to know why I got nervous?
01:23:37Why?
01:23:38Psychological reasons.
01:23:40Oh?
01:23:40They rubbed off on me.
01:23:42I got to thinking about what you told me.
01:23:43And then it occurred to me that maybe Ruth was in more danger than you were.
01:23:47After all, even a nut can figure out that it's simpler to get rid of a rival...
01:23:50...than to go on knocking off her boyfriends all the rest of her life.
01:23:53I take back what I said about the police, Lieutenant.
01:23:56Thank you, Doc.
01:24:15Fourth floor novelty department, 975, this week only.
01:24:32Was the mirror me?
01:24:34The reflection was.
01:24:36Well, that's what twins are, you know.
01:24:38Reflections of each other.
01:24:39Everything in reverse.
01:24:41And now will you answer one question for me?
01:24:44What?
01:24:45Under the circumstances, you're going to say it's impossible, of course, but...
01:24:50Why are you so much more beautiful than your sister?
01:25:13I'm so happy tobildés.
01:25:15I'm so happy to cut out what's my sister!
