The dream is unusually vivid: Bank employee Vince Grayson (DeForest Kelley) finds himself murdering a man in a sinister octagonal-shaped room lined with mirrors while a mysterious woman breaks into a safe. It is so vivid, in fact, that Vince suspects it may have really happened. To get the dream off his mind, he goes on a picnic with some relatives. When a thunderstorm forces his party into a nearby mansion, Vince discovers that the bizarre room does exist, and it means nothing but trouble.

00:01:10The End
00:01:29At first, all I could see was this face coming toward me.
00:01:36Then I saw the room, a queer mirror grill.
00:01:48And somehow, I was inside it.
00:01:56There was danger there.
00:01:58I knew that.
00:02:00I wanted to turn and run, but I couldn't.
00:02:03It seemed as if my brain was handcuffed.
00:02:05And I had to do what I'd come to do.

00:04:39The End
00:04:56Those two thumbprints on my neck
00:05:00They weren't there last night
00:05:01When I had dressed
00:05:03But
00:05:04It couldn't be
00:05:05It was a nightmare
00:05:08Talk about your realistic dreams
00:05:10I couldn't have done it to myself
00:05:13Choked myself
00:05:15Without waking up
00:05:26I must have scratched myself
00:06:00There they were
00:06:02The button
00:06:03And that odd shaped key
00:06:04The things out of the drain
00:06:06I'd never seen them before
00:06:09I didn't have them
00:06:10When I had dressed last night
00:06:19That button wasn't mine
00:06:20The key wasn't mine
00:06:23But if they were there
00:06:24It must have happened
00:06:26The dream
00:06:28The struggle
00:06:29The murder
00:06:29Everything
00:06:30But how
00:06:32Did something like that happen
00:06:34And I not know it
00:06:36Was I going insane
00:06:40A jackhammer started pounding inside my head
00:06:42I had to see if the outside world was still there
00:06:52The street below
00:06:53Looked the same
00:06:53As it did last night
00:06:55The same greasy spoon
00:06:57Where I eat now and then
00:06:59The same traffic noises
00:07:02The same characters
00:07:03Rounding around
00:07:07There was nothing the matter out there
00:07:10It was in here with me
00:07:12My stomach was riding a roller coaster
00:07:14I was sick
00:07:16I couldn't face going to work
00:07:25Hello
00:07:45Give me Fitzroy 5-1-0-3
00:07:53Fremont National Bank
00:07:54Bill, you're speaking
00:07:56Oh, yes, Grayson
00:08:01What seems to be the trouble
00:08:05Oh
00:08:07It could be the flu
00:08:12All right, all right
00:08:14Goodbye
00:08:16Good morning, Joe
00:08:18Good morning, Mr. Jackson
00:08:20Oh, isn't that a lovely morning?
00:08:22Lots of things
00:08:23I'd rather do than work today
00:08:24Good morning, Mr. Vineyard
00:08:29Good morning, Betty
00:08:30Vince Grayson just called
00:08:31He's not feeling well
00:08:32Will you take his window today?
00:08:34Oh, is Vince sick?
00:08:36What did he say it was?
00:08:38What?
00:08:39What?
00:08:40What?
00:08:42What?
00:08:44What?
00:08:46What?
00:08:50What?
00:08:51What?
00:08:52What?
00:08:52What?
00:08:52What?
00:08:52What?
00:09:01The more I tried to figure it out
00:09:03The sicker I got
00:09:04Suddenly
00:09:06The room started spinning
00:09:1340
00:09:1450
00:09:23Federal 7-6-4-8
00:09:29Hotel Commodore
00:09:31Vince Grayson's room, please
00:09:48He doesn't answer
00:09:51Thank you
00:09:56Funny he shouldn't be there, isn't it?
00:09:59If he was sick
00:09:59Do you know what I mean?
00:10:01No, I don't
00:10:03I'd better check his books
00:10:05Just to make safe
00:10:08Miss, would you like to take this money
00:10:09Or should I try another bank?
00:10:14I had to get out of my room
00:10:16Out into the sunshine
00:10:17I had to stay out of the shadows
00:10:20And I knew that tonight
00:10:22I'd be afraid of the dark
00:10:24I had to talk to somebody
00:10:26About this crazy thing
00:10:28Betty
00:10:29I'd get sympathy from Betty
00:10:32What I needed was an explanation
00:10:35Cliff
00:10:36My brother-in-law
00:10:37He ought to be able to figure out something
00:10:39I got to Cliff's place just before dinner
00:10:43My sister Lil told me he was out in the garage
00:10:49Hello, Cliff
00:10:51Oh, hiya, Vince
00:10:52How's the boy?
00:10:54Cliff, I want to talk to you
00:10:56Be with you
00:10:56As soon as I finish signing it
00:10:59Exact reproduction of Martha Washington's bed
00:11:08What's the matter, kid?
00:11:09Something on your mind?
00:11:10I need your help
00:11:12You and Betty have a fight or something?
00:11:15Cliff, this is going to sound screwy
00:11:18Last night I dreamed I killed a man
00:11:20I don't know who or where it was supposed to be
00:11:24I stabbed him with a steel boar
00:11:27During the fight
00:11:28A button came off in my hand
00:11:29When I'd kill him
00:11:30I locked the body in a closet
00:11:32And took the key
00:11:34And then when I woke up
00:11:38Well, look
00:11:42And this morning there was blood on my wrist
00:11:44I figured maybe I'd scratch myself
00:11:46In my sleep
00:11:47My ear or my nose or someplace
00:11:50So I just washed it off
00:11:52That was before I saw these
00:11:55You're all in pieces, aren't you?
00:11:58Cliff, you've got to help me
00:11:59You don't know what I've been going through all day
00:12:06Where'd you get this?
00:12:07I mean, where'd you first get it
00:12:08Before you dreamed about it?
00:12:09Don't you understand what I've been telling you?
00:12:12I didn't have it before I dreamed about it
00:12:14I never saw it before then
00:12:17Then when I wake up, it turns out real
00:12:19Now look, Vince
00:12:20I've warned you before
00:12:21You're working too hard
00:12:23Don't you understand?
00:12:24There's a door somewhere
00:12:25This very minute this key belongs to
00:12:27There's a man propped up behind a dead
00:12:29And I don't know where
00:12:30Nor who he is
00:12:31Or how or why it happened
00:12:32Only that I must have been there
00:12:33I must have done it
00:12:35Or why would it come to me
00:12:36In my sleep like this?
00:12:37And these things
00:12:38Now look
00:12:39You had those things before
00:12:40You picked them up somewhere
00:12:42And you misplaced them a long time ago
00:12:44And last night
00:12:45You had a Welsh rabbit
00:12:46Or one drink too many
00:12:47So you dreamed up a nightmare
00:12:49And in it, you remembered these old things
00:12:51And wove them in it
00:12:52No, no
00:12:53Now don't say no
00:12:55Either you dream a thing
00:12:56Or it really happened
00:12:58Don't worry
00:13:00If you dreamed that you had a fight with a guy
00:13:02And rammed something in him
00:13:04You'd wake up
00:13:05It happened, Cliff
00:13:06If I tell you it happened
00:13:07You dreamed it
00:13:08You had those things before
00:13:13You've just been stretching your nerves thin, kid
00:13:15Well, that's your answer
00:13:18That's all you can tell me, huh?
00:13:20Cliff, Vince
00:13:21Dinner's ready
00:13:22If I tell you I didn't have these things before
00:13:24Throw those things away
00:13:25And look
00:13:27Not a word of this to Lil
00:13:29You understand?
00:13:30She's been worrying about you enough already
00:13:36You haven't helped me a bit
00:13:40Not even a knuckle's worth
00:13:41Well, naturally not
00:13:42You expect me to arrest you
00:13:44For murdering a man in your dream
00:13:46Well, the rest will have to happen in a dream, too
00:13:49Because
00:13:51I'm off duty when I'm dreaming
00:13:54Come on, kid
00:13:55Let's get some dinner
00:13:57And, uh, smile for Lil, will you?
00:14:04You men coming in or not?
00:14:06Want your soup to get cold?
00:14:10I'd keep cracking the polish off of that one male
00:14:12Are you lucky?
00:14:13Lil's got a rib roast tonight
00:14:15You know I'm getting jealous of that butcher
00:14:16Vince, why did you tell me you've been working hard at the bank all day?
00:14:19Because I did
00:14:23How are you feeling, Vince?
00:14:25I thought you were sick
00:14:26I was, I just didn't feel well
00:14:28I kept calling your room all day
00:14:29No one was there
00:14:30Mr. Billio got suspicious
00:14:32Can't a guy take a day off?
00:14:34I just didn't feel like going to work
00:14:35And I wasn't sick enough to stay in my room
00:14:37Now, why does everybody have to make such a big thing of it?
00:14:41Vince
00:14:44The blood
00:14:46I washed it off
00:15:09I don't know how long I was blacked out
00:15:12I hazily remembered coming to for a moment
00:15:14And falling asleep again
00:15:17It was sometime past midnight
00:15:19When something awakened me
00:15:32What if I
00:15:34I fight out
00:15:36You certainly did
00:15:39The truth
00:15:40Oh, not what you think
00:15:42Not that green business
00:15:43The real truth
00:15:44But you've been wearing yourself out
00:15:47Why are you passed out like any neurotic?
00:15:49Take the key to the button
00:15:50You must have often had less than that to start out on
00:15:54Find out where they came from
00:15:55And find out what they were doing on me
00:15:58Find out where that mirrored room is
00:16:00Forget them once and for all
00:16:02Forget them
00:16:02I can't
00:16:03They're my only clue to what happened
00:16:04Nothing happened
00:16:05Just selling yourself a phony bill of goods
00:16:07Just as phony as that idea
00:16:09That the nail polish was blood
00:16:11That's the kind of trick your mind's been playing on you
00:16:14Oh, it can't be bad
00:16:15And don't crack to Lill about this nonsense or I'll
00:16:19Well, just don't crack
00:16:21She's fretted about you for years
00:16:23Ever since your mother died
00:16:25And right now would be the worst time of all
00:16:27Now?
00:16:29What do you mean?
00:16:32Well, I wasn't going to tell you until later
00:16:35Lill's going to have a kid
00:16:38Oh, that's fine
00:16:39That's great, Clep
00:16:41Okay
00:16:41So now you know
00:16:43So forget it
00:16:44And if you will hop on that
00:16:46Spooky business
00:16:47So help me
00:16:48I'll
00:16:49I'll drag you off to a doctor
00:16:52Now go on
00:16:53Get a turn
00:16:53Get some sleep
00:16:57Sleep?
00:17:07I felt I'd never sleep again
00:17:09Till I knew the answer
00:17:12I had to find the house
00:17:14Where the nightmare took place
00:17:15I had to know
00:17:36I have a lovely house
00:17:37With a mirror-lined powder room
00:17:39On the second floor
00:17:41Octagonal?
00:17:43No
00:17:43It's only four squares
00:17:45However, Mr. Grayson
00:17:47If you will come and look at it
00:17:48I'm certain
00:17:48No, thanks
00:17:49I'm sorry
00:17:50That's not what I'm looking for
00:17:53Six days went by without a lead
00:17:56I scoured the papers
00:17:58Not one line about the murder
00:18:00And all week I've been avoiding Betty
00:18:03I just couldn't face her
00:18:04With this thing gnawing at my brain
00:18:13Who is it?
00:18:14Cliff
00:18:18Hello, Cliff
00:18:19Hi, boy
00:18:19Will you see what I've got downstairs?
00:18:22Come on
00:18:23Put it on
00:18:24Let's go
00:18:25I don't want to go anywhere
00:18:26I want you to see my new second-hand car
00:18:29That I just got in exchange
00:18:30For my old second-hand car
00:18:31Please, Cliff
00:18:32I don't want to go anywhere
00:18:33What are you trying to be?
00:18:34A groundhog?
00:18:35Lil and I taking a ride in the country
00:18:36A little picnic
00:18:37Listen, I'm all right
00:18:38I don't need any fresh air jaunts
00:18:40To shake the devils out of me
00:18:41If that's what you're doing
00:18:42Now, look
00:18:43Do you want Lil to worry any more than she is?
00:18:45After what I told you about her?
00:18:49Come on
00:18:59Now, look, Cliff
00:19:00If you think this is going to do any good
00:19:02Don't be a drip
00:19:03Come on
00:19:07Hello, Betty
00:19:08Hello, Vince
00:19:09How are you, Lil?
00:19:10I'm fine
00:19:10Vince, I want you to know this wasn't my idea
00:19:13What do you mean?
00:19:13I'm glad you picked me up
00:19:15Well, where should we go, kids?
00:19:16We're anywhere
00:19:17I don't care
00:19:18How about Solanda Canyon?
00:19:19All right
00:19:28Solanda Canyon
00:19:29It just popped into my head
00:19:31Why?
00:19:33Betty and I always preferred the beach
00:19:35But something made me say Solanda
00:19:38Somehow it seemed important
00:19:56You know where you're going?
00:19:57Nope
00:19:58But I got a hunch further down this road
00:20:00We'll find just the right spot
00:20:01Did you ever see anything so stubborn?
00:20:04I'm sure that the ants here
00:20:05Are just as friendly as the ants farther down
00:20:07Now, what's wrong with that place over there?
00:20:09Nothing
00:20:09But, uh...
00:20:10Well, stop then
00:20:11It's getting late
00:20:12And besides, I'm hungry
00:20:13Okay, okay, my love
00:20:15That's just what I was going to do
00:20:30Ah, this is the life
00:20:32Toss me another one of those marshmallows
00:20:34Will you, beloved?
00:20:34But, uh, at they wish
00:20:36Mother
00:20:37Plop
00:20:41Mommy
00:20:42You're wonderful
00:20:43Uh-huh
00:20:43Just as long as the marshmallows last
00:20:53Vince
00:20:53Are you coming back to work tomorrow?
00:20:56I don't think so
00:20:59Mr. Bilyeu asked me to go out with him yesterday
00:21:02Why didn't you go?
00:21:03Why tell me?
00:21:05Vince
00:21:06What is it?
00:21:07What's the matter?
00:21:11What?
00:21:22Just forget about me, will you?
00:21:24What is it?
00:21:25Did I do something?
00:21:27No, it's not your fault
00:21:28It's just that
00:21:30Look
00:21:31We're through
00:21:33There's nothing we can do about it
00:21:34Don't call me out
00:21:36Don't pay any attention to me
00:21:37Get somebody else
00:21:39Get anybody
00:21:42Be better for you
00:21:51Lail, Lail, you're a big girl now
00:21:54I can't help it
00:21:55You know what lightning does to me
00:21:57We better go
00:21:58Hey, kids
00:21:59It's gonna rain
00:22:01Oh!
00:22:03Holy smoke
00:22:04You didn't have to take me seriously
00:22:05Yes, Betty
00:22:06Come on
00:22:07Let's go
00:22:34Now, the wipers won't work
00:22:35You should have tried them before you bought it
00:22:38All right
00:22:39All right
00:22:59I can't stand it anymore
00:23:00Stop at the first place you come to
00:23:02And let's get out of this
00:23:03All right, baby
00:23:04Now, calm down
00:23:07No houses around here
00:23:16That bridge
00:23:18I've seen it before
00:23:19But when?
00:23:24There's a cutoff a little ways ahead
00:23:26Just around the turn
00:23:27There's a big house up there
00:23:29I think
00:23:31Do you know this section?
00:23:32Have you been here before?
00:23:35There's a cutoff
00:23:43Are you gonna get us more lost than ever?
00:23:46No, keep going
00:23:47You'll come to it
00:23:48Two big posts
00:23:48And then turn the car between them
00:23:51I didn't know myself
00:23:52How I knew that
00:23:54But the closer we came
00:23:55The harder my heart pounded
00:23:57And the more frightened I got
00:24:06There they are
00:24:07Turn flip between those posts
00:24:08Like he told you
00:24:09Oh, wait
00:24:11And then turn the bar
00:24:22Oh, wait
00:24:23Oh, wait
00:24:31Oh, wait
00:24:32Oh, wait
00:24:35Oh, wait
00:24:35Oh, wait
00:24:57Let's make a dash for it.
00:25:21There doesn't seem to be anybody home.
00:25:23I wish we could get in.
00:25:44I thought there'd be a key someplace.
00:26:02Ben, are you going to stay out there all day?
00:26:03Come on in.
00:26:04Ben, let's have some light.
00:26:10Not that one.
00:26:14What is this, a rib?
00:26:16How do you know so much about this place?
00:26:17It's a rib.
00:26:18Your brother Vince, the great joker.
00:26:27Hello, anybody home?
00:26:29Don't do that.
00:26:31He's cold, he's shaking.
00:26:33So are you.
00:26:34Let's find a place to dry out before you catch cold.
00:27:03Looks like they've been away a long time.
00:27:07Your being a detective comes in handy.
00:27:09In case anybody shows up, we won't get into trouble for crashing in like this.
00:27:12Yeah, yeah.
00:27:15Let's see what gives with the fireplace.
00:27:21That's a break.
00:27:22It's a gas log.
00:27:27Let's go.
00:27:33Fuck yourself down.
00:27:34Dry out.
00:27:35Before you catch a chill.
00:27:38Oh, I am tired.
00:27:41Come on, Betty.
00:27:42Share the warmth.
00:27:44I'll scout the kitchen.
00:27:45Some hot tea wouldn't hurt you a bit.
00:27:52I feel better already.
00:27:54I feel better already.
00:28:01Vince, why don't you come over here by the fire?
00:28:13Jeremiah.
00:28:18Get it over here.
00:28:18Say it over here.
00:28:20You may beших.
00:28:20Have you seen pierwsze tomorrow.
00:28:20Oh, yeah.
00:28:28Years.
00:28:30Here we receive beer.
00:28:31No hot tea.
00:28:31I'm going you into the otra.
00:28:31No hot tea.
00:28:37THE END
00:29:10THE END
00:29:36THE END
00:29:36THIS IS THE PLACE
00:29:38THIS IS THE PLACE

00:30:08ALL RIGHT, BUT I WISH YOU'D STOP POKING AROUND
00:30:26LOOK
00:30:29THAT'S WHAT HE WAS CROWSED IN FRONT OF THAT NIGHT
00:30:32HE MUST HAVE BEEN USING A BLOWTORCH
00:30:35THAT'S WHAT MADE THAT BLUISH LIGHT
00:30:39MADE HER FACE STAND OUT IN THE REFLECTIONS LIKE A MASK
00:30:46THAT
00:30:46THAT MUST BE THE ONE I PROPPED HIM UP IN AFTER I
00:30:57NO, DON'T
00:30:59GIVE ME A CHANCE
00:31:00CUT IT OUT
00:31:15dry blood
00:31:18someone who was hurt was in here
00:31:20somebody who was dead
00:31:40Ben, Claire, come on down and have some tea
00:32:13I'll take these back to the kitchen
00:32:15I'll take them
00:32:17the rain ought to let up soon
00:32:18meanwhile, catch yourselves a nap
00:32:34close it
00:32:34I want them to hear this
00:32:49now let's hear about another dream
00:32:52you think I lied, don't you?
00:32:54you knew how to get here from a dream, didn't you?
00:32:57you knew where the key was from a dream, didn't you?
00:33:00all that fumbling around didn't fool me
00:33:02you even knew where the light switch was
00:33:04from a dream?
00:33:05if you weren't Lil's brother, I'd push a lion face out to the back of your head
00:33:08but I tell you, Cliff, I tried to hand him a for help
00:33:10but he didn't have guts enough to come clean
00:33:12to say, Cliff, I went out to such and such a place in the canyon last night and killed a
00:33:16guy
00:33:16such and such a guy for such and such a reason
00:33:18but I tell you
00:33:19no, you had to cook up a dream
00:33:20I can respect a guy no matter how rotten a crime he's committed
00:33:23who'll own up to it
00:33:24I can understand a guy who'll deny it flatly
00:33:26but a guy that'll come to someone trading on the fact he's married to his sister
00:33:29abuses common sense
00:33:30and make a fool out of him like you did to me
00:33:32but I didn't
00:33:33I got no use for him
00:33:34he's lower than the lowest rap we ever brought in for a knife and somebody in an alley
00:33:38look, I found this key in my pocket when I woke up
00:33:41I found this button playing on my sympathies
00:33:44getting me to think in terms of doctors and medical observation
00:33:47was that it?
00:33:47was it?
00:33:48no, I, Cliff, I swear to you
00:33:50I didn't dream, that was
00:33:51well, that dream's over with
00:33:53the baby's awake now
00:33:54I'm going to get the facts out of you
00:33:55and whether they go any further than me or not
00:33:57that's my business
00:33:57but at least I'm going to have them
00:33:59how can I tell you what I don't know?
00:34:01what were you doing here that night?
00:34:02what brought you here?

00:35:21there was a murder committed here last week
00:35:23there was?
00:35:25I'd like to hear more about that
00:35:28sounds interesting
00:35:31no thanks
00:35:32I cut him out about a month ago
00:35:35I always carry a pack of these now
00:35:38nothing
00:35:40this place belonged to a wealthy couple named Belknap
00:35:43husband frequently goes on long business trips
00:35:45he was away when it happened in Mexico
00:35:48in fact we haven't been able to notify him yet

00:36:29he'd come over here and have a look around
00:36:31he finds a safe busted in the mirrored room upstairs
00:36:34take you up and show if you want
00:36:35mirrored room
00:36:38well
00:36:39that gave us a case
00:36:41Clune knew that Belknap had a lot on his safe when he left for Mexico
00:36:44he came here started to heist it and Mrs. Belknap caught him
00:36:46she ran out afraid he'd kill her
00:36:48he got his car chased her down the road and ran over
00:36:50pretty brutal
00:36:51all of a sudden life was swell again

00:37:07we sent out a warrant for Clune
00:37:08then Wednesday Mrs. Belknap came too
00:37:10the first thing she asked was

00:37:14he?
00:37:15yeah
00:37:15what she told us sent us hot pudding right back here
00:37:17we'd find Clune's body propped it behind one of those mirrored doors upstairs
00:37:21been stabbed with an awl
00:37:22she died that night
00:37:23well
00:37:24and went our case
00:37:27did you get anything on the real killer?
00:37:29practically everything
00:37:30except the guy himself
00:37:32all the dope's over at my chief's office
00:37:34I was
00:37:35just on the way over there
00:37:36are you interested?
00:37:37oh it's right up my alley
00:37:39might be able to even help you find the killer
00:37:40glad to have you come along
00:37:42I'll have to tell the girls
00:37:43we'll be gone for a while
00:37:50shouldn't let it get you kid
00:37:51this is just routine with us
00:37:53I know it's
00:37:54just that I'm not used to this kind of discussion I guess
00:37:57yeah I can understand that
00:37:59I was a little bit squished myself when I first started on the job
00:38:04they're both asleep

00:38:06come on Vince
00:38:11I'll stay here
00:38:12come on Vince
00:38:25funny I didn't see anything in the LA papers about it Captain Warner
00:38:28they've been playing ball with us
00:38:30we had an idea
00:38:32if the killer didn't read about us finding the bodies
00:38:34he might come back to take a look
00:38:36maybe to find out what happened to Mrs. Belknap
00:38:40here's a description she gave us before she died
00:38:45the killer was about 24
00:38:47medium build
00:38:49light brown wavy hair
00:38:51worn rather long
00:38:53his eyes were fixed and glassy
00:38:56as though he was
00:38:57mentally unbalanced
00:38:58you got any pictures on them?
00:39:00Mrs. Belknap

00:41:34I love Lil.
00:41:36I think you love Betty, but that's your business.
00:41:39All I know is I love Lil.
00:41:44Bad enough what this is going to do to her when she finds out.
00:41:48I'm going to see that she gets at least one good night's sleep before she does.
00:41:54What am I going to do, Clip?
00:41:56I don't have to ask you if you killed a passed-out call when you saw that photograph of some
00:42:01death.
00:42:04In the morning, I'm going to take you down and turn in what I know at my own precinct house.
00:42:09I can pass it on to Warner.
00:42:14And then I'm going to turn in my badge.
00:42:19I'm scared stiff.
00:42:21Killers always are.
00:42:23Out to Winston.

00:43:07THE END
00:43:35THE END
00:44:01I'll make it, Mark.
00:44:09Look, he's trying to make up his mind.
00:44:33How'd you go any faster?
00:44:35Got her wide open.
00:44:57Let's go!
00:44:58No!
00:45:04No!
00:45:06No!
00:45:12No!
00:45:16No!
00:45:25Why didn't you let me?
00:45:28I didn't think it that way out.
00:45:34Vince!
00:45:35Oh, Vince!
00:45:37I didn't want to drag you into this.
00:45:39What is it?
00:45:40If you were in trouble so horrible that you wanted to...
00:45:43Dolly, don't.
00:45:47He won't try it again, Betty.
00:45:49Just keep that thought.
00:45:51But why, Cliff? Why?
00:45:53Never mind now.
00:45:54You go on down.
00:45:56Take Lil home.
00:45:57But don't tell her anything about that.
00:46:00Just say that I thought it was better if I stayed here with Vince tonight.
00:46:04He's not feeling well.
00:46:05Okay?
00:46:08Cliff, whatever it is that's come between us,
00:46:11promise me you'll help him.
00:46:13You go on now.
00:46:14And take care of Lil.
00:46:57Cliff, I wake you up.
00:47:00No, I can't sleep.
00:47:03Have a smoke.
00:47:13What about the arrest, Cliff?
00:47:15Cancel for now.
00:47:17When a guy's willing to die like you were,
00:47:19there must be something to his story.
00:47:21I tried to tell you.
00:47:23I don't think you really knew what you were doing that night.
00:47:26I think you're telling the truth to the best of your ability.
00:47:30Oh, I'm licked.
00:47:31I'd rather not even talk about it.
00:47:34You might as well have let me jump.
00:47:37I'm dead inside already.
00:47:40Still, I can't figure why you picked that way.
00:47:43Most of them try the bridge or poison or even gas.
00:47:46Thought of that, but this place hasn't any gas.
00:47:49Yeah, good thing, too.
00:47:50More houses didn't have gas, there'd be less.
00:47:52Yeah?
00:47:54It can be darned inconvenient if an electric light bulb burns out unexpectedly.
00:47:58Happened to a fellow in the next room the other night.
00:48:00Yeah?
00:48:00Yeah, he had to use a candle.
00:48:02Same night I had the drink.
00:48:03Use a candle?
00:48:05How did you know?
00:48:05Were you in there with him?
00:48:07Hmm?
00:48:08No, he rapped.
00:48:10Stuck his head in the door.
00:48:11Wanted to know if my light had gone out, too.
00:48:14What'd you have to come in here for?
00:48:16Couldn't have told by the hall?
00:48:18I don't know.
00:48:19There's a little night light around the bend in the hall.
00:48:22Maybe that's on a different circuit.
00:48:24Still no reason for him to barge in on you.
00:48:32I'd like to hear the rest of this.
00:48:35There isn't an arrest of it.
00:48:37I've told you all there is.
00:48:38Never mind.
00:48:40Now, who was he?
00:48:41Did you know him?
00:48:42Now, tell it to me step by step.
00:48:44Like, to a six-year-old kid.
00:48:46Okay.
00:48:48Well, the guy's name was Berg.
00:48:51He'd been living in the room about, oh, a week or ten days before that.
00:48:56Used to see him in the elevator.
00:48:58Chatted with him a couple of times in the lobby.
00:49:01All right.
00:49:02Now, tell me what happened the night his light went out.
00:49:05Well, I've been in bed for some time.
00:49:08Reading the paper like I do every night.
00:49:17Just put the lamp out and gotten to sleep when I heard this knock on the door.
00:49:24Who is it?
00:49:26Harry Berg from next door.
00:49:37Pardon me.
00:49:38Did I wake you?
00:49:39No, I just turned out the light.
00:49:41Oh, you did?
00:49:43The light in my room just went out.
00:49:45That's why I wanted to see you.
00:49:48I thought maybe the circuit was on.
00:49:50Your light working?
00:49:52That's right.
00:50:01Yes.
00:50:02It must have been the globe that burned out.
00:50:04Sorry I troubled you.
00:50:06Not at all.
00:50:08You're tired, aren't you?
00:50:11I can see you're pretty tired.
00:50:13I'm sorry.
00:50:15Oh, really?
00:50:15It's all right.
00:50:17You're tired.
00:50:19And I woke you up.
00:50:21It's all right.
00:50:28I guess he kind of had a one-track mind.
00:50:31Used to mumbling to himself, maybe.
00:50:33Anyway, he finally closed the door and went away, and I dropped off to sleep.
00:50:38Now, wait a minute.
00:50:39Are you sure the door closed after him?
00:50:42Did you see it closed?
00:50:43Did you hear it closed?
00:50:48Did it go like this?
00:50:50Did it make a click?
00:50:52Or did it go like this?
00:50:55Without a click?
00:50:57I can see you're having trouble giving me a definite answer.
00:51:00You don't remember it either way.
00:51:02Well, what difference does it make?
00:51:04The door must have closed.
00:51:05He went away, and I went to sleep.
00:51:07He was standing there with a candle in his hand,
00:51:10and he kept saying,
00:51:12You're tired.
00:51:13So what?
00:51:15Eyes fixed and glassy, as though he were mentally unbalanced.
00:51:20What?
00:51:22I was just remembering something in the deathbed statement Mrs. Belknap gave to Warner.
00:51:27You, uh, you say you chatted with this fellow once in a while.
00:51:32What about?
00:51:33Oh, sports, politics.
00:51:37Going down the elevator one time, he had a box of methylated cough drops in his pocket.
00:51:42Go ahead, have one.
00:51:44No, thanks.
00:51:45I don't like them.
00:51:47Oh, go on.
00:51:48They're good for you.
00:51:49No, thanks, really.
00:51:52You should have one.
00:51:54Your voice sounds kind of hoarse.
00:52:01I took one because I kind of felt sorry for it.
00:52:05Really hate those cough drops.
00:52:08Testing little car.
00:52:11You seem to make something out of this silly thing.
00:52:14What is it?
00:52:16I'm just guessing.
00:52:17That's all.
00:52:21You get some sleep, kid.
00:52:23Where are you going?
00:52:26Hey, I thought you were going to stay here tonight.
00:52:32You're going to have to take one of your hats.
00:52:35I'm going out to the Belknap home and the Warner's headquarters while I'm out there.
00:52:40Now?
00:52:41All the way out there?
00:52:42This hour of the morning?
00:52:44I don't know what I've got yet.
00:52:45If anything.
00:52:47And Vince, don't try any more shortcuts.
00:53:02That clock is always a little slow.
00:53:04It's like the horse I had yesterday.
00:53:11Hello, kid.
00:53:13Come on up to your room.
00:53:18A little cold a while ago.
00:53:19She's been worried.
00:53:20Married to a cop for 15 years and still worried.
00:53:23You didn't tell her anything?
00:53:25No.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:38Have you been up there all this time till now?
00:53:40I'll go back to the tower once in between and get something I needed.
00:53:43Get a leave of absence.
00:53:44What for?
00:53:46I'll tell you later.
00:53:59Open it.
00:54:07Well, who is it?
00:54:34What's a bird?
00:54:35The man had the room next door.
00:54:37Where'd you get this?
00:54:38I didn't have to ask you who it was.
00:54:41You already know it from the desk clerk.
00:54:43A couple of others I showed it to, and they stopped back here early this morning.
00:54:48There's also Dorothy Belknap's husband, Louis Belknap.
00:54:54What about me?
00:54:54Does this mean...
00:54:56Was he the one who...
00:54:58There's no out in this for you, Vince.
00:55:00Not yet.
00:55:01I checked your fingerprints with the ones worn from the mirrored door.
00:55:03You found your way into Belknap's home.
00:55:06You punctured Bob Clune's heart with a bore and shoved his body into a closet.
00:55:12And...
00:55:12Mrs. Belknap?
00:55:13You didn't kill her.
00:55:15You can't drive.
00:55:16We think Belknap drove you up there.
00:55:18Was waiting for you outside.
00:55:20Mrs. Belknap ran out and her husband, using Clune's car, deliberately ran over her.
00:55:26Why didn't I know what I was doing?
00:55:28We think we know why, Vince.
00:55:31But there's only one way to prove it.
00:55:34Show that it could have happened in the first place by making it happen all over again.
00:55:38You mean go back and commit the crime over again?
00:55:41Not exactly.
00:55:42You've killed a man, Vince.
00:55:44Right now, you're guilty.
00:55:45We've got to prove you didn't know what you were doing and why you didn't know.
00:55:49What do you mean?
00:55:50We haven't got much time.
00:55:52They located Belknap yesterday.
00:55:53He's flying back from Mexico this afternoon.
00:55:55He wired Warner to have his wife reburied in the family plot today.
00:55:59He'll be back in time for the funeral.
00:56:00Get your coat on.
00:56:01Where are we going?
00:56:02There's a place you'd rather not go than all other places right now.
00:56:07There was room where I...
00:56:09I know, kid.
00:56:10It's not going to be easy.
00:56:12You've got to go back there and stay tonight and wait for Belknap.
00:56:15He may be a dangerous killer, but it's your one chance to save yourself from paying for a murder.
00:56:20I think he can make it.
00:56:34I was scared sick, but I got back into that house before Belknap returned from the funeral.
00:56:39A couple of friends drove back with him.
00:56:41I weighed upstairs, looking down into the living room.
00:56:44As they said goodbye.
00:56:46Why don't you come and stay at our place tonight, Lewis?
00:56:49Yes, we'd love to have you.
00:56:51Don't worry yourselves about me.
00:56:53Oh, bye.
00:56:54Good night.
00:56:55Good night.
00:56:57He was coming out.
00:56:59My blood turned to water.
00:57:01I wanted to scream out, to run away from there.
00:57:04But I had to stay.
00:57:06It was my only chance to save myself.
00:57:10Good night.
00:57:22Good night.
00:58:11How'd you get here?
00:58:12You showed me the way, didn't you?
00:58:14You remembered coming here?
00:58:16You didn't think I would, did you?
00:58:19You couldn't have.
00:58:21Then how'd I get here?
00:58:22You explain it.
00:58:24How long have you been in here, like this?
00:58:27Since shortly before dark.
00:58:29I got in while you were at the funeral.
00:58:31Who'd you bring with you?
00:58:33Just this.
00:58:36You remembered the drive-up?
00:58:38You couldn't have.
00:58:40You had the look.
00:58:42The typical look of the hypnotized subject.
00:58:45I faked it.
00:58:46I was holding a thumbtack pressed into each palm the whole way so I wouldn't go under no matter how
00:58:50good you were at it.
00:58:51Then why did you do everything I directed?
00:58:53When I put the knife in your hand and told you what to do, you took it.
00:58:55And I thought maybe you'd pay off to keep me quiet.
00:58:58And then if I balked, I figured I'd get a knife in my back.
00:59:02But what happened?
00:59:03What went wrong inside?
00:59:05I let you out of the car, told you what to do.
00:59:07I dropped the knife somewhere in the dark.
00:59:09But I came up anyway.
00:59:12Kloon was stealing your dough and about to run out with your wife.
00:59:14Wasn't that it?
00:59:15Yes.
00:59:17Yes.
00:59:19But how?
00:59:19I would have been killed by Kloon.
00:59:21Only your wife handed me a boar by mistake.
00:59:23And I had to use it to save myself.
00:59:25Oh, that explains how she got out of the house.
00:59:28I had to finish her.
00:59:30With his car.
00:59:32I might have known you were under imperfect control.
00:59:34Oh, your control is perfect enough, Bell, now.
00:59:37Don't let that worry you.
00:59:38You still have the knack.
00:59:40But you just said...
00:59:41Yeah, and you fell for it.
00:59:43I didn't know what I was doing when I came up here to do your dirty job.
00:59:46I'd never found you, but I saw your picture in the paper as a husband of the murdered woman and
00:59:49recognized you as Bert.
00:59:51I didn't come here to be paid off for what I did.
00:59:54Even though your will is stronger than mine, you'd know you couldn't make me commit murder.
00:59:59I killed that man in self-defense.
01:00:02But I'll never be able to clear myself into eyes of the law.
01:00:05Ever.
01:00:06I'm going to make you pay for doing that to me.
01:00:09Now.
01:00:11This way.
01:00:12Wait.
01:00:13Don't do that.
01:00:14Alive, maybe I can do something for you.
01:00:17I'll give you money.
01:00:17I'll get you out of the country.
01:00:19No one will know.
01:00:20My conscience will know.
01:00:21I've got an honest man's conscience and a murderer's body.
01:00:24You should have let me alone, Belmap.
01:00:27That was your mistake.
01:00:28Wait.
01:00:29One minute.
01:00:29Give me one minute to make you see.
01:00:32Just 60 seconds.
01:00:34You don't want to kill me.
01:00:36Those two were plotting against me for months.
01:00:38I knew it.
01:00:39That's why I planned the whole thing.
01:00:40I had to do it.
01:00:41Don't you understand?
01:00:42You can understand that.
01:00:44Stop it, Belmap.
01:00:45Just a few seconds, please.
01:00:47You don't want to kill me.
01:00:49Look up.
01:00:50Look up.
01:00:51Please.
01:00:52See?
01:00:53Just 30 seconds.
01:00:55And I'm sure I can make you understand.
01:00:59Just a few seconds.
01:01:01Shall we take him now?
01:01:03We've got to let him finish.
01:01:04We've got to have proof for a jury that he can actually put him under.
01:01:08Just 15 seconds, that's all.
01:01:10That isn't much, is it?
01:01:1315 seconds.
01:01:14Killing me won't calm your conscience.
01:01:17You don't really want to kill me, Grayson.
01:01:21Drop your gun.
01:01:22It's too heavy.
01:01:25Drop the gun, Grayson.
01:01:28Drop it.
01:01:29You're too tired to hold it up.
01:01:32Just drop it.
01:01:34You'll feel so much better.
01:01:36Just let go of it.
01:01:38Better still.
01:01:40Give the gun to me, Grayson.
01:01:43You're tired.
01:01:46Tired.
01:01:52That horrible curtain closed over me again.
01:01:55I couldn't fight it.
01:01:58I knew he was taking me somewhere.
01:02:01I didn't want to go.
01:02:03But my brain was handcuffed.
01:02:08And I was walking through another nightmare.
01:02:36Be quiet.
01:02:39We'd better get up there quick.
01:02:51He's got him on the car by the garage.
01:03:09We'd better get up there.
01:03:38We'd better get up there.
01:03:42We'd better get up there.
01:04:10Of those two people at the Belknap house, I have no chance.
01:04:25I see no other way out.
01:04:31Sign it, Vincent Grayson.
01:04:36I see no other way out there.
01:04:40I see no other way out there.
01:04:46I see no other way out there.
01:05:25Look down there.
01:05:49All right.
01:05:51Get out.
01:06:16Take off your coat.
01:06:33This way you'll find peace.
01:06:35I see no other way out there.
