00:02:05We're late enough already, they've closed the doors.
00:02:15Look, it's a medical school lecture.
00:02:20I want to see what the attraction is.
00:02:25I have a good mind to stay.
00:02:30Mind to stay, if I were you.
00:02:32You only lectures once a week.
00:02:34Now you've got to stay.
00:02:37Up to this point in the present series of lectures,
00:02:45we've dealt exclusively with abnormal mentalities.
00:02:49I emphasize the fact that in civilized communities,
00:02:5280% of our murderers and violent criminals
00:02:55were those whose minds had been conditioned
00:02:58by exceptional nervous stress and unhealthy environment.
00:03:03Last Friday, we dealt with the smaller group
00:03:06of strictly moronic criminals.
00:03:09And now we come to that much more interesting phenomenon,
00:03:12the sane criminal.
00:03:15A man who is prepared to pursue his own ethical convictions
00:03:18even to the point of murder.
00:03:21The man whose punishment is apt to weigh heavily
00:03:24on the conscious of society
00:03:26because his actions, as likely as not,
00:03:28have been inspired by just as great an integrity
00:03:31as those of the men who sit in judgment.
00:03:34At worst, he's an irresponsible opportunist.
00:03:37At the best, he's a man with a strong sense of justice,
00:03:42even a mystic.
00:03:45I propose to relate the case history
00:03:47of a murderer of this class,
00:03:49a perfectly sane, valuable member of society.
00:03:53We'd better give him a fictitious name.
00:03:56We'll give them all fictitious names,
00:03:58all the characters in this case.
00:04:00He was a surgeon.
00:04:02They called him Mr... Mr. Joyce.
00:04:05Mr. Michael Joyce.
00:04:07He was well thought of in the medical profession
00:04:09and had a house of his own in Harley Street.
00:04:12His marriage had been an unhappy one,
00:04:14and he'd lived apart from his wife for several years.
00:04:17Consequently, he threw all his energy and interest into his work.
00:04:21As a brain specialist, he operated in three London hospitals
00:04:24and had developed a technique
00:04:26which considerably reduced the mortality rate in this field.
00:04:29He was reserved in his personal relationships
00:04:32and had no close friends.
00:04:34His only relaxation was to sit at home and play the piano
00:04:37or go to an occasional concert.
00:04:40Otherwise, it was a life devoted solely to work,
00:04:43a life that, by normal standards,
00:04:45was unutterably lonely and empty.
00:04:47But he never recognized this himself
00:04:49until he met a woman called Emma Wright.
00:04:52When she first came into his consulting room,
00:04:55he hardly even noticed her.
00:04:57She was just an ordinary middle-class woman
00:05:00who happened to have a daughter who was going blind.
00:05:03Sit down, Miss Strat.
00:05:05Let's have a look at this head of yours.
00:05:08I gather it was an emergency operation after an air raid.
00:05:11Yes.
00:05:12Now the eyesight's affected.
00:05:14The eye specialist said there was nothing he could do.
00:05:17Are you well enough to read?
00:05:19Not really.
00:05:20I have the eye specialist's report.
00:05:23Early optic atrophy.
00:05:25This is a fairly serious condition, Mrs. Wright.
00:05:28The thing for us to do is to take her into hospital,
00:05:31make a thorough investigation so as to establish the exact cause.
00:05:35You wouldn't mind that, Anne, would you?
00:05:37Would you?
00:05:38Will it hurt?
00:05:39No. We'll take good care of you.
00:05:41Do you want her to go in right away?
00:05:43I think she should.
00:05:45Come over here.
00:05:47Sit down.
00:05:49We don't want the atrophy to become too far advanced.
00:05:52Now, Anne, I'm just going to look into your eyes.
00:05:55See those 2 figures on the mantelpiece?
00:05:57Keep your eye on them.
00:05:59My face will get in between, but don't look at me.
00:06:02The personality of the child's mother
00:06:04remained for the time being a matter of no great importance.
00:06:07But after the child had been submitted to a series of tests,
00:06:11and X-rays had proved that her trouble
00:06:13was due to a small foreign body
00:06:15lodged anteriorly to the optic chiasma,
00:06:17it became obvious that a fairly serious operation was necessary,
00:06:21and the relationship between these 2 became inevitably less remote.
00:06:25Will it be very dangerous, the operation?
00:06:28To her life?
00:06:30There's always a risk with a major operation.
00:06:32How great a risk?
00:06:34Mortality rate with this operation is 1%.
00:06:37And if you don't operate?
00:06:40She'd go blind.
00:06:43If only my husband were here, he'd know what to do.
00:06:46I hate to go ahead without him.
00:06:48We might consider putting it off for a short time
00:06:51if he's coming home soon.
00:06:53Not for several months, I'm afraid.
00:06:55In that case, I shouldn't advise it.
00:06:57Every week that we let it go, it gets progressively worse.
00:07:00I know.
00:07:02I know you're right, but...
00:07:04you don't think she...
00:07:06I mean, she couldn't be among the 1%?
00:07:09In my mind, there's no question at all.
00:07:11I've met this problem before on many occasions,
00:07:13always with complete success.
00:07:15I wish you felt you could trust me.
00:07:17It isn't that...
00:07:20I'll do what you say.
00:07:22Well, I suggest we leave Anne here at the hospital.
00:07:25She's comfortable,
00:07:27and I'll operate as soon as it can be arranged.
00:07:30All right? All right.
00:07:32There's nothing to it, Anne.
00:07:34We give you something nice to make you go to sleep,
00:07:37and when you wake up again, it's all over.
00:07:39Then you'll be able to see properly again.
00:07:41Oh, Mommy, they want to cut my hair off.
00:07:43But, darling, it'll grow again.
00:07:45Oh, must I stay here, Mommy?
00:07:47Mr. Joyce will take great care of you.
00:07:49Oh, don't go. Please, Mommy.
00:07:51How would you like your mother to stay with you till you go to sleep?
00:07:54Can't she stay with me until I wake up again?
00:07:56She can stay with you all the time if she likes.
00:07:58Oh, yes, please, Mommy.
00:08:00He says you can.
00:08:02All right, darling, I'll stay.
00:08:04I'll see you later, Anne.
00:08:06I will be a minute.
00:08:09All right.
00:08:39I'll be a minute.
00:09:09I'll be a minute.
00:09:39For all his air of quiet confidence,
00:09:41the surgeon who is about to operate
00:09:43is often as nervous as a prima donna.
00:09:45This was exaggerated in the present case
00:09:47by the feverish devotion of the child's mother,
00:09:49which had conveyed itself to Michael Joyce
00:09:51and robbed him of that cold detachment
00:09:53which is the doctor's great strength.
00:09:55The doctor's great strength?
00:09:57The doctor's great strength?
00:09:59The doctor's great strength?
00:10:01The doctor's great strength?
00:10:03The doctor's great strength?
00:10:05The doctor's great strength?
00:10:07The doctor's great strength?
00:10:09Never before had he been
00:10:11so acutely aware of the identity
00:10:13of the piece of human material he was working on
00:10:16as he took the scalpel and made the first incision
00:10:19and as the sister handed him the artery forceps.
00:10:37There were no complications at all.
00:11:07The child took the anaesthetic easily, and the foreign body was located and successfully removed.
00:11:18The chief sufferer, of course, was the wretched woman who had been pacing up and down the waiting room for two hours.
00:11:24She broke down as soon as Michael Joyce came in and made his report,
00:11:27and only pulled herself together when she remembered rather guiltily the promise she'd made to Anne to stay with her throughout the operation.
00:11:34She was anxious to get back to her before she came out of the anaesthetic.
00:11:40There was another woman in the room with her, whom she introduced as her sister-in-law, Mrs. Catherine Howard,
00:11:46a rather overdressed young lady who seemed to have very little interest in Anne's welfare.
00:11:51They had to wait some weeks to find out whether the operation had actually succeeded in saving Anne's eyesight.
00:11:57Meanwhile, they shared the daily uncertainties and anxieties.
00:12:02Emma Wright depended more and more on the feeling of confidence which he gave her.
00:12:07When it became obvious that Anne was on her way to recovery, she was tremendously grateful to him,
00:12:12a feeling which Michael Joyce did not mistake, but he knew that his own interest in her was greater than it should be.
00:12:19Without admitting it to himself, he began to dread the day when the job would be completed,
00:12:24the day of the final examination, after which Anne and her mother were to return to their home in the country.
00:12:30I went to pictures last night, the first time for over a year.
00:12:33It was all coloured.
00:12:36Well, I don't suppose we shall see you again.
00:12:40I hope you will.
00:12:42I hope so, too.
00:12:44Not professionally, of course.
00:12:46The sun's come out, Mummy.
00:12:47We'll go into the park, shall we?
00:12:50Goodbye.
00:12:52Are you really going to the park?
00:12:53Yes, why?
00:12:55Do you mind if I go with you?
00:12:56Of course not.
00:12:59But oughtn't you to tell someone you're going out?
00:13:02I'll tell them when I get back, then there can be no mistake about it.
00:13:06He should have said goodbye when their relationship came to its natural conclusion, but he couldn't bring himself to.
00:13:13She represented all the things that were so painfully lacking from a life devoted to textbooks and operating theatres.
00:13:19She was so simple and unaffected.
00:13:23She told him about Philip, her husband, how his work as a geologist had kept them apart for years at a time,
00:13:29and now he was going to give it up so that they could be together.
00:13:33She told him how they'd hoped for more children.
00:13:36Having only one, she'd become all the more nervous and possessive about Anne.
00:13:41They went on seeing each other and found they had the same tastes.
00:13:46They both liked music and fell into the habit of going to concerts together.
00:13:50Sometimes she'd come and play the piano at his house.
00:14:20I feel awfully guilty making you drive out all this way.
00:14:37It's all right.
00:14:38I really should have stayed in town, only I hate leaving Anne alone at night.
00:14:41I'm relying on you to show me the way.
00:14:43You don't know this part of the country.
00:14:45Oh, I know the road.
00:14:46Good.
00:14:48Wait a minute.
00:14:50Are we lost?
00:14:52Oh, it's all right.
00:14:53That's our chapel.
00:14:54Your chapel?
00:14:55Yes, you can see it from my bedroom window.
00:14:57Draw up when we come to it.
00:14:58I must show it to you.
00:14:59All right.
00:15:00There used to be great ructions in the family about it.
00:15:16When the wind's in our direction, you can hear them singing.
00:15:18I rather like it.
00:15:20The sound drifts across and, oh, I don't know.
00:15:24It's rather peaceful.
00:15:26Some people hate it.
00:15:27Kate was always trying to get Philip to sell the house.
00:15:29That was before she was married, of course.
00:15:31Then after she came back here, after her husband was killed, she started all over again.
00:15:35She says Clay always plays out of tune.
00:15:37Who's Clay?
00:15:38Our gardener.
00:15:39He plays the organ here.
00:15:40Kate thinks we ought to get rid of him because of it.
00:15:42Why?
00:15:43Does it affect his gardening?
00:15:44Oh, no.
00:15:45It's just that Kate thinks that if he hadn't a job, he might go and live in another district
00:15:48and there wouldn't be anyone to play the organ.
00:15:50Who's Kate?
00:15:51My sister-in-law.
00:15:52You met her one day at the hospital.
00:15:54Did I?
00:15:55Don't you even remember the people you meet?
00:15:58I remember the important ones.
00:16:00The ones I want to remember.
00:16:05That's our house up there.
00:16:10There's something I've been wanting to ask you all evening.
00:16:13Yes?
00:16:14It's just, are you divorced?
00:16:18No.
00:16:20Diana doesn't want a divorce.
00:16:23Why do you ask?
00:16:25Oh, no reason.
00:16:27I just wondered.
00:16:28We ought to be going.
00:16:29It must be awfully late.
00:16:41When Emma came up to London for the day,
00:16:43she made a habit of calling in at Michael's house in Harley Street after the day's shopping.
00:16:47Then often they'd have dinner together afterwards.
00:16:59Hello.
00:17:00Hello.
00:17:01I'm sorry I had to keep you waiting.
00:17:02I got messed up with my appointments this afternoon.
00:17:04It doesn't matter.
00:17:05Come and listen.
00:17:07What is it?
00:17:08It's a record Anne's made.
00:17:09It almost sounds as though she were a real pianist.
00:17:12I'm trying to think what this is.
00:17:14Madam, will you walk?
00:17:15Oh, yes.
00:17:16It's good.
00:17:17Is that really Anne?
00:17:18Of course it is.
00:17:19Quite a professional job.
00:17:20Shh.
00:17:23Oh, dash.
00:17:24I'll go back.
00:17:26That was a mistake.
00:17:27She always goes wrong there.
00:17:28But we're going to have another one made without any mistakes.
00:17:32I'm slightly sorry.
00:17:34She can play it, really.
00:17:36This is where she goes wrong.
00:17:48She used to play very well.
00:17:50After the accident, of course, she had to play from memory.
00:17:53I made her go on practicing.
00:17:56Emma, do you love your husband?
00:18:02Well, do you?
00:18:05I don't know how to answer that question.
00:18:07But you know why I asked.
00:18:11Yes.
00:18:13Oh, Michael, I don't know what to say.
00:18:16Philip and I have been together for so long.
00:18:19I love you, Emma.
00:18:22You shouldn't have told me.
00:18:25If we'd kept quiet about it, we might have gone on seeing each other.
00:18:29It wouldn't have worked.
00:18:33I suppose not.
00:18:35I wanted you to know.
00:18:38I did know, Michael.
00:18:45I've tried not to recognize it.
00:18:47I tried to tell myself that something would happen to make it all right.
00:18:51But I knew nothing could.
00:18:53It can never be all right.
00:18:55Neither of us is free or ever likely to be.
00:18:58There's nothing we can do about it.
00:19:00We won't see each other again after today.
00:19:04No.
00:19:06I'll miss you.
00:19:09Oh, Michael, so shall I.
00:19:11Dreadfully.
00:19:30It became more and more difficult for them to end their association.
00:19:42Though neither was happy about it.
00:19:44Emma's husband was giving up the work he liked so as to be with her.
00:19:48And she was torn between her loyalty towards him and her love for Michael Joyce.
00:19:54Finally, she decided to write to her husband and explain what had happened.
00:19:58To ask him to release her.
00:20:09I can't send it, can I?
00:20:11No, you can't.
00:20:13It would be too unfair.
00:20:16It's Anne I'm thinking of, of course.
00:20:18Yes, well, there's your answer.
00:20:20Certainly wouldn't be fair to her.
00:20:23There's only one thing for us to do, I'm afraid.
00:20:29Goodbye, Michael.
00:20:36No, don't come near me.
00:20:40We must never see each other again.
00:20:57And they never did see each other again.
00:21:21Good morning, Mr. Joyce.
00:21:23Good morning.
00:21:24Isn't it terrible about Mrs. Wright?
00:21:28Mrs. Wright?
00:21:29Remember, the mother of the little girl.
00:21:34Oh, will you come in?
00:21:39Will you take a seat in here, please?
00:21:44What about her?
00:21:45Who?
00:21:46Oh, Mrs. Wright.
00:21:47She fell out of a window and broke her neck.
00:22:01It was established at the inquest that the fatal fall took place at about 6 o'clock in the evening.
00:22:08The only other people in the house at the time were the child, Anne, and a housemaid,
00:22:14who testified that earlier in the afternoon Mrs. Catherine Howard had visited the house.
00:22:19Did you see Mrs. Howard leave?
00:22:21Yes, sir. I saw her get into a car and drive away.
00:22:24At about what time?
00:22:26A little before 6, I should say, sir.
00:22:28And it was some minutes later that you heard a noise as if someone falling?
00:22:32Yes, sir.
00:22:33That will be all, Miss Bond.
00:22:34Thank you.
00:22:44Repeat after me.
00:22:45I swear by Almighty God.
00:22:47I swear by Almighty God.
00:22:48That I will speak the truth.
00:22:49That I will speak the truth.
00:22:50The whole truth.
00:22:51The whole truth.
00:22:52And nothing but the truth.
00:22:53Nothing but the truth.
00:22:54You are Mrs. Catherine Howard?
00:22:55Yes.
00:22:56And your address is?
00:22:57I live at the Arcadia Hotel.
00:22:58Yes.
00:22:59And what was your relationship to the deceased?
00:23:02She was my sister-in-law.
00:23:03She was married to my brother, Philip.
00:23:05When did you last see Mrs. Wright alive?
00:23:08About 6 o'clock on the evening of the accident.
00:23:10I was with her for about an hour.
00:23:12You had an engagement with her?
00:23:14Well, not exactly an engagement.
00:23:16But she knew that I might stop by.
00:23:19Was she actually expecting you to stop by?
00:23:22Well, she wasn't exactly expecting me.
00:23:24But since my husband was killed, I've been in the habit of popping in and out whenever I was nearby.
00:23:29What happened when you arrived?
00:23:31Nothing.
00:23:32Did you talk?
00:23:33Yes, we chatted for a while.
00:23:35About anything in particular?
00:23:37No, just talk.
00:23:39Did she seem worried?
00:23:41On the contrary.
00:23:42She was very cheerful.
00:23:43She was looking forward to her husband coming home.
00:23:45Had she been suffering from ill health?
00:23:48Not at all.
00:23:49Then there was nothing in her manner to suggest that anything was wrong.
00:23:53Certainly not.
00:23:54Oh, but she did have a great fear of heights.
00:23:56She had a great fear of heights?
00:23:58Do you mean that she mentioned it on this particular afternoon?
00:24:01Well, no.
00:24:03Why did you mention it just now?
00:24:05Well, it seemed to me the only possible explanation for her falling out of the window.
00:24:09I see.
00:24:11What was Mrs. Wright doing when you left her?
00:24:14She was in her room.
00:24:15I think she was going to turn out her stocking drawer.
00:24:18Thank you, Mrs. Howard.
00:24:20That will be all.
00:24:28Thank you.
00:24:36Come over here by me.
00:24:43Now, Anne, you understand what is meant by telling the truth, don't you?
00:24:47Yes.
00:24:49It's very important that you do because I'm going to ask you a few questions
00:24:52and I want you to answer them truthfully.
00:24:54Tell me, when did you last see your mother?
00:24:59It was a little while before I went to bed.
00:25:02Where was your mother?
00:25:04In her room.
00:25:06Did you go in and talk to her?
00:25:09I went to say goodnight.
00:25:11And did you say goodnight?
00:25:13Yes.
00:25:15Did your mother seem normal?
00:25:19Yes.
00:25:21Tell me, Anne, was there anyone with your mother?
00:25:33No.
00:25:34Nothing happened that seemed unusual to you?
00:25:37No.
00:25:38Thank you.
00:25:39That will be all.
00:25:41Repeat after me.
00:25:42I swear by Almighty God...
00:25:43I swear by Almighty God...
00:25:44...that I will speak the truth...
00:25:45...that I will speak the truth...
00:25:46...the whole truth...
00:25:47...the whole truth...
00:25:48...and nothing but the truth...
00:25:49...and nothing but the truth.
00:25:50Dr. Reynolds, is your name William Gaunt Reynolds?
00:25:53Yes.
00:25:54Do you practice in Downville?
00:25:56Were you called in this case?
00:25:57Yes.
00:25:58What time did you get there?
00:26:00About 6.30 in the evening.
00:26:02I'm going to ask you a few questions.
00:26:04I'm going to ask you a few questions.
00:26:06I'm going to ask you a few questions.
00:26:08Keep stepping at me.
00:26:39Was there anyone with your mother?
00:26:52No.
00:26:55Will you be in to dinner tonight, sir?
00:26:57No.
00:26:58No, I've got to go.
00:27:00Very good, sir.
00:27:09This is Catherine Howard.
00:27:10Yes.
00:27:11Your address, please.
00:27:12I live at the Arcadia Hotel.
00:27:15I live at the Arcadia Hotel.
00:27:39Thank you.
00:27:55Is Mrs. Catherine Howard in?
00:27:57The parties in Mrs. Davis' suite, room 29.
00:28:00Party?
00:28:01I'm sorry, sir.
00:28:02I thought perhaps you were one of the guests.
00:28:04Yes.
00:28:05Yes, I am.
00:28:06Room 29.
00:28:07Thank you.
00:28:25Thank you.
00:28:30Oh, I'm so glad you were able to come.
00:28:32We're in such a muddle.
00:28:33Everybody seems to be here.
00:28:34I won't have to introduce you.
00:28:36This is Joan Scott Potter.
00:28:37Joan, I want you to meet Mr...
00:28:39How do you do?
00:28:40Albert.
00:28:41I can't bear to see people without anything in their hands.
00:28:43There.
00:28:44Thank you.
00:28:45Oh, dear, I might have known she'd turn up.
00:28:47Oh, darling, I'm so glad you were able to come.
00:28:52These are the ones we ought to avoid.
00:28:54Why, what's wrong with them?
00:28:55After Jenny Deaver's last party, Judy Hammond went blind.
00:28:58Permanently?
00:28:59No, she's over there somewhere.
00:29:01There's Kate Howard and on the day of the inquest.
00:29:04Could she do it?
00:29:05Put this down for me somewhere, will you?
00:29:07Yes.
00:29:14Excuse me.
00:29:16You're being very unsociable.
00:29:18There's someone here I know you'll adore.
00:29:20She's longing to meet you.
00:29:21Sylvia, darling, you don't know Peter, do you?
00:29:23I'm dying to meet you.
00:29:24How do you do?
00:29:25Got a drink? Good.
00:29:26What on earth is that waiter doing?
00:29:31Is your name really Sylvia?
00:29:33What's wrong with Sylvia?
00:29:34Nothing at all, only mine isn't Peter.
00:29:36Excuse me, I must take this drink to somebody.
00:29:38I just love that hat.
00:29:40Hello.
00:29:41That's the new wimp.
00:29:42Why, hello, Doctor.
00:29:43I never expected to find you at a cocktail party.
00:29:45I hardly expected to find myself at one.
00:29:47Have you been here long?
00:29:48No, I've only just arrived.
00:29:49You're looking very well.
00:29:50Oh, I'm an absolute wreck.
00:29:51I've been having the most awful time.
00:29:52I expect you read about it.
00:29:53My sister-in-law, Emma Wright, you know,
00:29:55she fell out of a window and got killed.
00:29:57Yes, I did hear about it.
00:29:58I've just come straight from the inquest.
00:30:00I wonder if I dare try one of these.
00:30:02She doesn't think what's in it.
00:30:03Catherine, poor dear.
00:30:05What really happened?
00:30:06Did you throw yourself out today?
00:30:07No, of course she didn't.
00:30:09Is one of those going begging?
00:30:10I'll die if I don't have a drink.
00:30:11I'm afraid this belongs to Mrs. Howard.
00:30:13You might find one over there, though.
00:30:14Now, don't go away, Catherine.
00:30:15I simply must hear it all.
00:30:19You saved my life.
00:30:20I think you ought to keep moving
00:30:21if you don't want her to catch you again.
00:30:23Quite a good idea.
00:30:27Kate, my dear.
00:30:29You must give me the lowdown.
00:30:31My husband swears that someone pushed her
00:30:33out of the window and it's all been hushed up.
00:30:35Come to the corner in the quiet.
00:30:37I can't bear it.
00:30:38Haven't you got to telephone your mother?
00:30:40My mother?
00:30:41Oh, yes, I've got to phone my mother.
00:30:44See you later, dear.
00:30:45Excuse me.
00:30:50Kate, my dear, you're not going.
00:30:52Darling, I must.
00:30:53They're too gruesome.
00:30:54But you're staying here for dinner.
00:30:55Well, don't rely on me.
00:30:57Oh, quick, there's that awful woman.
00:30:58See you later, dear.
00:30:59You menace.
00:31:00Catherine.
00:31:01Darling.
00:31:02You haven't got a drink.
00:31:03No.
00:31:14Thank you.
00:31:20Here.
00:31:21Thank you.
00:31:22Thank you.
00:31:25I'm really not suitably dressed to be here.
00:31:27I ought to have changed, I suppose,
00:31:28but I've had such a hectic week, what with the inquest
00:31:30and everyone ringing up and asking
00:31:31silly questions about Emma.
00:31:32I do sympathize with you.
00:31:34All I know is she's left me with a load of debts.
00:31:37Is Mrs. Wright in debt?
00:31:38Oh, not hers, mine.
00:31:40I wonder if they've got any potted shrimps.
00:31:42What's happened to Anne?
00:31:44Anne?
00:31:45How do you know Anne?
00:31:46I operated on her.
00:31:48Why, yes, of course.
00:31:49So you did.
00:31:50How silly of me.
00:31:51You know, I think I have one too many of that party.
00:31:53I almost forgot for the moment who you were.
00:31:55Well, what has happened to her?
00:31:56Oh, she's gone to Portsmouth.
00:31:57Emma's mother has a house down there.
00:31:59There's a dreary old miser, if ever there was one.
00:32:02She hates me, as if you cared.
00:32:04I do care.
00:32:05I'm most interested.
00:32:06You're just being very polite and sweet.
00:32:08Frankly, I'm bad for you.
00:32:10It's fatal to have a drink at Jenny Dee,
00:32:11but you never know what she's going to put in them.
00:32:13It'll pass off as soon as you've had something to eat.
00:32:15Tell me about the house.
00:32:16What's happened to that?
00:32:17What house?
00:32:18Mrs. Wright's.
00:32:19Oh, it's up for sale.
00:32:20Already?
00:32:21Well, we moved Anne out the night her mother died.
00:32:23Philip will never want to see the place again.
00:32:25It's empty now.
00:32:26You got any potted shrimps?
00:32:27I'm afraid not, madam.
00:32:29Lobster cocktails?
00:32:30Yes, madam.
00:32:40Would you be very forward of me to hope that I shall see you again?
00:32:43If you'd held your breath a moment longer,
00:32:44I should have suggested it myself.
00:32:46Well?
00:32:47Well, uh...
00:32:49Are you free tomorrow evening?
00:32:50I'll see that I am.
00:32:51All right, yeah.
00:32:53Same place?
00:32:54Six o'clock?
00:32:55In the bar?
00:32:56Wonderful.
00:32:57Good.
00:32:58Good night.
00:32:59Good night.
00:33:10He decided to visit Emma's empty house.
00:33:13He'd never been inside her home,
00:33:15and he felt that if he could see it,
00:33:18he might in some way find an answer to the problem of Emma's death.
00:33:23He looked around the grounds,
00:33:25trying to find some way of getting into the house.
00:33:28But there were no windows unlatched,
00:33:30and the place seemed to be completely deserted,
00:33:32so he had to break in.
00:33:52Good night.
00:34:22Good night.
00:34:52This was the room where Emma had spent her leisure hours.
00:34:55Everything was just as it must have been when she was alive.
00:34:59Her piano...
00:35:01and Anne's.
00:35:22He knew he was in Emma's room as soon as he opened the door.
00:35:41There was still the faint smell of her perfume.
00:35:53On the other side of the valley,
00:35:55he could see the little chapel that Emma had found so charming.
00:36:00What?
00:36:01What's the matter?
00:36:02Don't you recognize me?
00:36:03Where are you?
00:36:04I'm in your house.
00:36:05Your house?
00:36:06Oh, no, this is my home.
00:36:07It's Emma's home.
00:36:08You can't have her room.
00:36:09She's not here.
00:36:10A little while longer.
00:36:11We'll have to check on you.
00:36:13Anna!
00:36:14There she is.
00:36:15There she is.
00:36:16Get this.
00:36:17A little while longer.
00:36:18You can't have her room.
00:36:19It's her room.
00:36:20You even have to pay the fees.
00:36:22A little while longer.
00:36:23It's Emma's room!
00:36:24You have to pay the fees.
00:36:25It's her room.
00:36:26It's Emma's room!
00:36:57♪
00:37:02♪
00:37:07♪
00:37:12♪
00:37:17♪
00:37:22♪
00:37:27♪
00:37:32♪
00:37:37♪
00:37:42Who are you?
00:37:45That's what I should be asking you.
00:37:48I didn't know there was anyone here.
00:37:50No doubt you didn't.
00:37:52But that's no excuse for breaking into other people's houses in the middle of the night.
00:37:55You can be had up for this.
00:37:57Yes, I suppose I can.
00:37:59Are you looking after this place?
00:38:01I'm the caretaker.
00:38:02Did you take anything that doesn't belong to you?
00:38:04No, certainly not.
00:38:06It's rather difficult to explain, I...
00:38:08It's just that you haven't got a piano of your own, I suppose.
00:38:12It's all right, I believe you.
00:38:14No sensible burglar's going to start wrecking the piano while he's on the job.
00:38:19Did you know the lady who owned this house?
00:38:21Know her? Why, I worked for her for ten years.
00:38:23I looked after the garden.
00:38:25Oh.
00:38:26Are you the gardener who plays the organ at the chapel?
00:38:28Oh.
00:38:29You know about me.
00:38:31Ah, yes.
00:38:33Look here, there's no point in our standing out here in the cold.
00:38:36I've got the kettle on. Would you like a cup of tea?
00:38:38There's nothing I'd like better.
00:38:39Come down to my room.
00:38:42I gather that Mrs Howard didn't take very kindly to your organ playing.
00:38:45Mrs Howard, poking her nose into everyone's business,
00:38:48made the poor lady a nice dance, I can tell you.
00:38:50Shocking tragedy.
00:38:52Ever such a nice lady.
00:38:54I'm usually in bed by this time.
00:38:56If I'd broken in earlier, I might have played the piano in peace.
00:38:59If you picked the right night, you could have made yourself at home the whole evening.
00:39:02Oh, really?
00:39:03Yes.
00:39:04I always cycle over to my sister's on Fridays.
00:39:06Kind of breaks the monotony.
00:39:08Thanks for the information.
00:39:09If I were a burglar, I could use it.
00:39:11You're no burglar. I can see that.
00:39:14I knew Mrs Wright.
00:39:16I wanted to have a look at the scene of the accident.
00:39:18Accident? It were no accident.
00:39:21The coroner said it was.
00:39:22And what if he did?
00:39:25Does it seem likely to you that a lady would fall out of a window she'd been looking out of for ten years?
00:39:30A lady that was perfectly healthy and didn't suffer from a fear of heights,
00:39:34no matter what some people said at the inquest.
00:39:36Help yourself to milk.
00:39:38Thank you.
00:39:39She's a real devil, that Mrs Howard.
00:39:41You seem prejudiced.
00:39:43Not only me, Doris would bear me out.
00:39:45Sugar?
00:39:46No, thank you.
00:39:47And cook.
00:39:48Mrs Howard lived here for a time after her husband was killed,
00:39:51and she'd never let Mrs Wright alone.
00:39:53Always nagging and getting on her nerves.
00:39:56And Mrs Wright was that soft-hearted, she was very easily upset.
00:40:00Yes, I know she was.
00:40:02And then there was the scene about the carpet.
00:40:05What about the carpet?
00:40:06She stole it, Mrs Howard did.
00:40:08Stole a carpet?
00:40:09Mrs Wright let on she gave it to her just to save Mrs Howard's face,
00:40:12but we know different.
00:40:14They say Mrs Howard got a tidy sum for it.
00:40:17Did she?
00:40:18I imagine Mrs Howard was fairly well off.
00:40:21She had a lot of money by her husband, but that didn't stop her trying to get more.
00:40:25Have another cup?
00:40:26No, thank you very much.
00:40:27I must be moving.
00:40:29Yes, tried to get me the sack just because she didn't like my organ playing.
00:40:34Are you fond of singing?
00:40:36It's a long time since I've sung.
00:40:39If you want to know what I think, Mrs Howard pushed her.
00:40:42I'm sure that's not true.
00:40:44She could do it.
00:40:46But the maid said at the inquest that Mrs Howard left the house before it happened.
00:40:50Doris would want to keep it dark for Mr Wright's sake.
00:40:54Well, for Mrs Howard's sake, I hope you're wrong.
00:41:01At first he found it hard to credit the cat-acre's assertion.
00:41:04But later, as he got to know Kate Howard,
00:41:07he couldn't entirely dismiss the idea.
00:41:10She was a hard, self-centered, brittle woman.
00:41:12And it did seem just possible that she had had something to do with her sister-in-law's death.
00:41:17Kate Howard was delighted with his attentions,
00:41:20and only too pleased to talk about herself.
00:41:23She appeared to be a woman with a grudge.
00:41:26First of all, when she had wanted to be a singer, her parents had refused to pay for her training.
00:41:30Her husband had been equally uncooperative.
00:41:33From the way she spoke of him, one would have thought that he'd chosen to die young
00:41:37solely in order to keep her short of money.
00:41:40Then there was her brother, Philip.
00:41:42She'd always resented the fact that he had the lion's share of her family's money.
00:41:46There were so many things she'd have liked to do with her life, she kept telling him.
00:41:50He tried to draw her out on the subject of Emma Wright.
00:41:53But here, she was much more reticent.
00:41:56However, she did finally come out with an interesting statement.
00:41:59Emma had a lover.
00:42:03Oh, but that's not true.
00:42:05That surprises you, I suppose.
00:42:07How did you know?
00:42:09She told me.
00:42:11Did she tell you who the man was?
00:42:13No. I suppose I shouldn't have talked about her now that she's dead.
00:42:16Still, you asked, and now you know why I say that Anne will be better off without her.
00:42:20Where's Anne going to live?
00:42:22With me.
00:42:23With you?
00:42:24Oh, don't look so shocked.
00:42:26I can't exactly picture you looking after a child.
00:42:29Oh, don't be so sure of that.
00:42:31You have unfulfilled maternal instincts.
00:42:33Are you?
00:42:34No.
00:42:35I've arranged for her to go to boarding school.
00:42:37I didn't expect to hear of her again till the summer holidays.
00:42:40Come and sit down over here. You're such a long way away.
00:42:43Is her father satisfied with this arrangement?
00:42:45Oh, yes. He came with me to make a home for her.
00:42:47And you caught sending her to school, making a home.
00:42:49Now, don't you start on me.
00:42:51I've had quite enough trouble for Anne.
00:42:52She wants to be allowed to stay on with Emma's mother.
00:42:54Philip wants her to be brought up by someone younger, hence me.
00:42:57I see.
00:42:58When does she start her school?
00:43:00Monday.
00:43:01I've got her coming to town tomorrow to get her teeth fixed before she goes.
00:43:04It's a sickening responsibility, still it can't be helped.
00:43:07I presume your trouble will not go entirely unrewarded.
00:43:09Oh, no.
00:43:10Philip's making me an allowance to take care of her.
00:43:12I shouldn't have taken it on otherwise.
00:43:14Philip's an awful nuisance.
00:43:15Poor little Anne.
00:43:16Don't waste your sympathy on her.
00:43:18What time is this dentist appointment?
00:43:20Why are you so interested?
00:43:22I was just thinking that you'd be free while she's there.
00:43:24So?
00:43:25If I were free at the same time, we might meet.
00:43:29That's quite a thought.
00:43:31Kate was completely unsuspecting when he made an appointment to meet her for tea at the Savoy at four o'clock.
00:43:36He never had any intention of keeping this appointment.
00:43:39He had to see Anne.
00:43:41And he had to find a way of seeing her alone.
00:43:46My aunt told me to come and wait for her here when I've finished with the dentist.
00:43:50Come in, will you?
00:43:51She's having tea somewhere.
00:43:53She's going to pick me up afterwards.
00:43:55Will you wait in here?
00:43:57I know this room.
00:44:10Hello, Anne.
00:44:11Hello.
00:44:13Did the dentist give you a bad sign?
00:44:15I was told to wait here for Aunt Kate.
00:44:17Is it all right?
00:44:18I was expecting you.
00:44:19Your hair's growing nicely.
00:44:21Oh, it's awful.
00:44:23I thought it was about time you and I had a talk.
00:44:26What about?
00:44:27About you.
00:44:29Do you like the idea of going away to school?
00:44:32I don't mind.
00:44:33Do you...
00:44:35Do you like your Aunt Kate?
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:40Are you sure about that?
00:44:41Yes.
00:44:43Don't you trust me?
00:44:45Yes.
00:44:46Not very much.
00:44:49I don't know why you're asking me all these questions.
00:44:51I want to help you.
00:44:53A long time ago, you trusted me with something very important.
00:44:56What was that?
00:44:57Your life, Anne.
00:44:58Don't you remember?
00:44:59Yes.
00:45:01Why did you say at the inquest that there was no one with your mother the last time you saw her?
00:45:07Because there wasn't.
00:45:09That's not true, though, is it?
00:45:11Oh, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:45:12Your Aunt Kate was with her, wasn't she?
00:45:14Oh, leave me alone, please.
00:45:15What happened between Kate and your mother before the accident?
00:45:18It wasn't an accident.
00:45:19It was just the same as if I pushed her.
00:45:21You?
00:45:22It was my fault.
00:45:23How could it have been?
00:45:24I know it was.
00:45:25I sided against Mommy.
00:45:27I don't care what happens to me anymore.
00:45:29What did you do, Anne?
00:45:30You must tell me.
00:45:31I can't.
00:45:32You must.
00:45:33It's important.
00:45:34She made me promise not to.
00:45:35She said they'll send me to prison if they find out.
00:45:37Kate said that?
00:45:38Yes.
00:45:39Well, she's now right to say it.
00:45:40No one can send you to prison if you tell the truth.
00:45:42What happened, Anne?
00:45:43You've got to tell me.
00:45:49I went up to Mommy's room to say goodnight.
00:45:53I'd been playing in the garden since tea time.
00:45:55I knew Aunt Kate was with Mommy,
00:45:57and as I reached the top of the stairs,
00:45:59Aunt Kate was coming out of Mommy's room.
00:46:01She was angry, and she talked in a very quiet voice to me.
00:46:05She said she had something very important to tell me.
00:46:08Then she started.
00:46:10She said the most horrible things about Mommy,
00:46:12about Mommy and some man.
00:46:14There was going to be a divorce, she said,
00:46:16and I'd have to give evidence against Mommy.
00:46:19I'd have to tell them in court for Daddy's sake
00:46:21all the awful things Mommy had done.
00:46:24I suppose Mommy must have been listening all the time,
00:46:26because suddenly she told Aunt Kate to get out of the house.
00:46:29She wouldn't go.
00:46:31Mommy told me to come to her room with her,
00:46:33but I wouldn't.
00:46:35I don't know why.
00:46:36I was afraid, I suppose,
00:46:38and I believed what Aunt Kate had said.
00:46:40I believed it then.
00:46:43It was only afterwards I saw how wicked she was.
00:46:47I heard Mommy slam the door open when she went back in.
00:46:50I never saw her again.
00:46:52It was all my fault for believing Aunt Kate.
00:46:55No, Anne, it wasn't your fault.
00:47:02What in the world happened to you?
00:47:04I'm afraid I couldn't make it.
00:47:05I can see that. Where have you been?
00:47:06I got held up.
00:47:07You could have telephoned me.
00:47:08I waited for you over an hour.
00:47:09As it happens, I had more important things to do.
00:47:11I don't know who you think you are.
00:47:13I'm not in the habit of paying for my own tea.
00:47:16Come along, Anne.
00:48:13Come here.
00:48:40I want to talk to you, Michael.
00:48:42I'm tired, Liz.
00:48:43It won't take long.
00:48:49What do you want to say?
00:48:51We can't talk down here.
00:49:06I realize it was very silly of me to be so annoyed with you this afternoon.
00:49:09I suppose you were working and couldn't help it.
00:49:11Is that what you came to say?
00:49:13Yes.
00:49:14All right, you said it now.
00:49:16Good night.
00:49:17You're still angry with me.
00:49:19Please don't be.
00:49:21Let's forget about it and be friends.
00:49:23I don't want to see you again, Kate.
00:49:25Oh, Michael.
00:49:27Just because of this afternoon?
00:49:28That has nothing to do with it.
00:49:30Well, you can't just drop me like this.
00:49:32It isn't fair.
00:49:33It'll be better for you if I do.
00:49:35How can you say that?
00:49:37You're fond of me, aren't you?
00:49:39Anyway, I'm very fond of you.
00:49:41Go home, Kate.
00:49:42It's silly to punish us both just because you're angry with me.
00:49:47Michael.
00:49:49You're not just trying to end things with me out of a misplaced chivalry, are you?
00:49:53Misplaced chivalry? What do you mean?
00:49:55It just occurred to me that you might think you were being unfair to go on,
00:49:58knowing that you're not free.
00:50:00Oh, I see.
00:50:03You mean I'm trying to drop you rather than involve you with a married man, is that it?
00:50:07Well, isn't it?
00:50:09I'm asking you for the last time.
00:50:12Go home before it's too late.
00:50:14Michael.
00:50:22I don't care about a lot of silly conventions.
00:50:25I want to be with you under any circumstances.
00:50:31Do you, Kate?
00:50:35Very well, you shall be.
00:50:39She had made up his mind for him.
00:50:42That was the end for Kate.
00:50:45He now began to make his plans for the revenge he'd thought of for so long.
00:50:50He arranged for his junior to take over his patients
00:50:53and established at the hospital that there was a possibility
00:50:56that he might not be available for the coming fortnight.
00:50:59He wanted to be prepared for every emergency.
00:51:02If something happened to Kate,
00:51:04He wanted to be prepared for every emergency.
00:51:07If something should go wrong and prevent him carrying out his plan at once,
00:51:11he didn't want his absence to be noticed.
00:51:14He'd left himself with only one appointment before his meeting with Kate Howard.
00:51:19This was a routine job of an educational nature,
00:51:23which he did at regular intervals as a sideline.
00:51:27While he was engaged on it,
00:51:30his mind was working out the practical problems
00:51:33that would be involved by this plan he'd formulated.
00:51:38It was a Friday night.
00:51:40That was going to make things easier for him.
00:51:43He'd arranged to pick her up at a lonely part of the embankment.
00:51:48On his suggestion, she'd told her friends that she was going away for a few weeks.
00:51:53As they drove out of London, she was full of the usual chatter,
00:51:57never suspecting for a moment his real feelings towards her.
00:52:01Until they'd actually arrived at Emma's house,
00:52:04she'd no idea where he was taking her.
00:52:07The house was for sale. He wanted to see it.
00:52:10She accepted this explanation.
00:52:13He knew that no one would answer the bell because he remembered the gardener telling him
00:52:17that he always went over to his sister's place on Friday nights.
00:52:21The window was still broken as he'd left it on his last visit.
00:52:26She followed him upstairs to Emma's room
00:52:29and over to the window out of which Emma had fallen.
00:52:33He drew the curtains, threw open the window.
00:52:37Then he told her that he was the man Emma had loved,
00:52:42that he'd found out that she was responsible for Emma's death,
00:52:46and now she was going to die the same way Emma had died.
00:52:51He told her to throw herself out.
00:52:55At the last moment, she started to scream.
00:52:59Then she fell.
00:53:04This was a murder conceived in perfect sanity
00:53:08and faultlessly carried out.
00:53:14I'm afraid I've taken rather longer with this story than I'd intended.
00:53:17I shall have to leave the more general discussion of the subject until next time.
00:53:22May I ask you a question?
00:53:25Yes.
00:53:26I take it that the murderer was never suspected?
00:53:29No.
00:53:31The police could find no evidence that pointed to anything other than suicide.
00:53:34And yet, like all paranoics, he had to tell someone about it.
00:53:39I don't quite get that.
00:53:41Well, he told you, presumably.
00:53:44Yes. He was a patient of mine.
00:53:47In a lunatic asylum?
00:53:49No, he was perfectly sane.
00:53:51Same as I am.
00:53:53You didn't mind my asking.
00:53:56Not at all. It was a good question.
00:54:57Have you been waiting?
00:54:59I'll take that.
00:55:27Where are we going?
00:55:29You'll see.
00:55:31Oh, a surprise.
00:55:34You went across a red light.
00:55:36Did I?
00:55:45You hate women who make up in public.
00:55:48I've never thought about it.
00:55:50So much for that little subject of conversation.
00:55:52Perhaps you'd like to talk about it yourself.
00:55:54What was your appointment this evening?
00:55:56I was giving a lecture on criminology.
00:55:58Well, what have you got to say on that subject?
00:56:00I told a story about a man who killed a woman for revenge.
00:56:04He was carrying things a bit far.
00:56:06Mad, I suppose.
00:56:08No, he was perfectly sane.
00:56:10They always have a kink somewhere, those people who do violent things.
00:56:13Take my sister-in-law, for example.
00:56:16How did she come into the argument?
00:56:18She must have been a bit mad to do a thing like that.
00:56:20Like what?
00:56:22Committing suicide.
00:56:24What makes you say it was suicide? It was an accident.
00:56:26What's the matter?
00:56:28I thought for a moment that was that awful chapel near her house.
00:56:31We're going to her house.
00:56:33What for?
00:56:35You said it was up for sale, didn't you?
00:56:37So it is.
00:56:39I might buy it.
00:56:41Well, what a time to choose to go look over a house.
00:56:44You must be demented.
00:56:53Out you get.
00:56:55Do let's come back in the daytime.
00:56:57I want to show you something.
00:56:59It won't take long.
00:57:01All right.
00:57:12Where are you going?
00:57:14I'm looking to see if any of these windows are open.
00:57:16That's not necessary. The gardener should be here.
00:57:18He's taking care of the garden.
00:57:21There's a window broken here.
00:57:27You're not serious.
00:57:29Certainly I am.
00:57:34Oh, well, anything to oblige a criminologist.
00:57:40Just a minute while I turn on the light.
00:57:42I'll be back in a moment.
00:57:44Oh, well, anything to oblige a criminologist.
00:57:48Just a minute while I turn on the light.
00:57:50No, don't do that.
00:57:52It'll spoil the atmosphere.
00:57:56Well, which part of the house do you want to see first?
00:57:58Upstairs.
00:58:00I'd better lead the way. I know the place.
00:58:04I can't imagine anyone ever wanting to live here.
00:58:06I've always loathed it.
00:58:08I tried to persuade Philip to sell it long ago when he first inherited it.
00:58:15This was her room.
00:58:17That's right. How did you know?
00:58:19I've been here before.
00:58:22When?
00:58:26What really gave you the idea
00:58:28that she had a lover?
00:58:30She told me so.
00:58:32Now tell me the truth.
00:58:34All right.
00:58:36I overheard them talking on the telephone.
00:58:38I listened on the extension.
00:58:40Didn't you recognize the man's voice?
00:58:44No.
00:58:46But you do now.
00:58:52You evidently thought you were safe.
00:58:54But when she was dead,
00:58:56that was the end of the matter.
00:58:58Did you really imagine that I'd accept her death
00:59:00without making every effort to find out how it happened?
00:59:14Come here.
00:59:22That's where she fell, isn't it?
00:59:24I don't know. I wasn't here.
00:59:26You tried to get money out of her
00:59:28because you thought she was being unfaithful.
00:59:30And when that was no good,
00:59:32you poisoned the child's mind against her.
00:59:34You might just as well have killed her yourself.
00:59:36I didn't kill her.
00:59:38I didn't kill her.
00:59:40I didn't kill her.
00:59:42You might just as well have killed her yourself.
00:59:44You're just as guilty this way.
00:59:54What was that for?
00:59:56I don't like being locked in a room with a madman.
01:00:00I can get that key from you anytime I like.
01:00:02If you don't let me out of here, I'll scream.
01:00:04There's no one to hear you.
01:00:06The gardener's here.
01:00:08He'll hear me.
01:00:10Why did you do that?
01:00:12Because I want to give you the opportunity
01:00:14of letting us get out of here with dignity.
01:00:16The gardener goes over to his sisters on Friday nights.
01:00:18This is Friday night.
01:00:20Let me out of here.
01:00:22He told me so himself. That's why I picked tonight.
01:00:24He's not at his sisters.
01:00:26He's here.
01:00:28That's him playing the organ.
01:00:30No one else ever plays it.
01:00:32You can't do anything to me now. He'll be back soon.
01:00:34Not soon enough.
01:00:36You're raving mad.
01:00:38You'll make suicide.
01:00:40The organ stops.
01:00:42He'll be back. He'll be back here.
01:01:04Help!
01:01:06Help!
01:01:10Don't come near me!
01:01:12Don't come near me!
01:01:14Get off me!
01:01:16Get off me!

01:06:26...What a place to park!
01:06:30Look, George, why don't you park this thing crossways?
01:06:32Then nobody could get past.
01:06:33I just stopped to wipe my windscreen.
01:06:34I couldn't see.
01:06:35Oh, you couldn't see?
01:06:36What do you think I am, an owl?
01:06:38Where are we?
01:06:39Do you know?
01:06:40Yes, we're on the main Portsmouth Road.
01:06:42Thank goodness somebody knows.
01:06:43That's where I'm supposed to be headed.
01:06:45I can tell you how to get there.
01:06:46Directions in England?
01:06:47Are you kidding?
01:06:48No, thanks.
01:06:49I'll just follow you.
01:06:50No, you can't do that.
01:06:51I turn off just up the road.
01:06:53That's all right.
01:06:54I'll follow you that far.
01:06:55Give me a highball when you turn.
01:06:56OK.
01:07:00I'll follow you.
01:07:01I'll follow you.
01:07:02I'll follow you.

01:08:55I'll follow you.
01:08:57The ambulance will never make it in this fog.
01:08:59How far are you going?
01:09:01I'm not quite sure where it is from here.
01:09:03I know this district.
01:09:04Perhaps I can help you.
01:09:06I don't think you can.
01:09:07It's a long way.
01:09:08Are you a London man?
01:09:10Yes.
01:09:11Have you had any experience with fractured skulls?
01:09:15Quite a lot.
01:09:17I could have used you tonight.
01:09:18Why do you have to turn up when it's too late?
01:09:20What could you have used me for?
01:09:21This kid I was telling you about.
01:09:23Road accident was it?
01:09:24Yes.
01:09:25Yes, Lolly ran into a private car on the farm.
01:09:29Kitty was in the back and seemed to have taken most of the bump.
01:09:32She's unconscious now and bleeding from a cut over the right ear.
01:09:35It's very suggestive of a middle meningeal hemorrhage.
01:09:39Did she regain consciousness at all?
01:09:40Yes, she did for a time and seemed pretty well.
01:09:43That's what gave me a clue.
01:09:44Probably right.
01:09:47Fog seems to be lifting a bit.
01:09:49Yes, here's the turning.
01:09:51We're almost there.
01:09:52At least I can be in at the death.
01:09:55I don't think I should jump to conclusions.
01:09:58I've seen extraordinary recoveries from head injuries.
01:10:00I guess we've all seen extraordinary things happen,
01:10:02but I never expect them.
01:10:04And I certainly don't care one way or the other.
01:10:07I always thought I cared very much.
01:10:09I never liked losing a patient.
01:10:11Well, that's the sort of sentimentality you get over
01:10:13when you've killed as many patients as I have.
01:10:16I don't think so.
01:10:18I've always resented the fact that one can't choose.
01:10:22Can't choose what?
01:10:24Which patients to kill?
01:10:27Then as a doctor, you must be in a constant state of frustration.
01:10:31In your case, let's say vanity is involved,
01:10:33not sentimentality.
01:10:35But whatever it is, it's just as bad.
01:10:37Man doesn't have any generous feelings.
01:10:39He only thinks he has.
01:10:40Selfishness, habit, and hard cash.
01:10:42Those are his real motives.
01:10:44Looked at from that angle, life can hardly be worth living.
01:10:46It isn't, but I've done my share of enjoying it.
01:10:50Just up here.
01:10:51Now for another scene with the mother.
01:10:53Why did it have to be my daughter and all that?
01:10:56What's your answer to that one?
01:10:57Better your daughter than mine, madam,
01:10:59I'd say, if I were honest.
01:11:01How old is this girl?
01:11:02Oh, just a child, about 12.
01:11:0412?
01:11:06Do you have any children?
01:11:08No.
01:11:09Here we are. Stop.
01:11:15Oh, uh, I suppose I couldn't persuade you
01:11:18to look in for a moment and give a little presence to the case.
01:11:21It's always a great comfort to the parent
01:11:22to have a second opinion say there's no hope.
01:11:26Maybe there is hope.
01:11:28She's still alive, isn't she?
01:11:30Mm-hmm.
01:11:36Is this where they are?
01:11:37Yes, good evening, Ralph.
01:11:38Oh, good evening, Dr. Farrell.
01:11:39Terrible night, sir.
01:11:40Yes, isn't it?
01:11:41Nice mess they made of that coffin.
01:11:49Oh, doctor, we thought you'd never get back.
01:11:50I, uh, I managed to get another opinion.
01:11:53This is Dr., uh...
01:11:54Where's the patient?
01:11:55Oh, doctor, she still hasn't moved.
01:12:14You've got a torch.
01:12:15Ah, thank you.
01:12:20I'll take that.
01:12:42Yes, you're quite right.
01:12:43She's bleeding from the middle of an injury.
01:12:46Would she be all right?
01:12:47I don't know.
01:12:49Would she be all right?
01:12:55I'll operate now.
01:12:57What, in this place?
01:12:58We've got a large saucepan or fish kettle.
01:13:00I want to sterilize my instruments.
01:13:02And, uh, I shall need some clean sheets.
01:13:06I've got my instruments in the car.
01:13:19It's not worth taking a chance.
01:13:21If she dies during the operation, there'll be an inquiry.
01:13:23And you never know how those things are going to turn out.
01:13:25Nobody's going to take a chance.
01:13:26That child's going to die in Harvard, huh?
01:13:28It's no good pretending we can get her to hospital in that time.
01:13:31It's up to us to try and relieve the pressure before it happens.
01:13:33Maybe I can secure an artery.
01:13:35At least I can do a decompression and give you time to get her to hospital.
01:13:38Well, that's a job for a specialist.
01:13:39I wouldn't touch it.
01:13:40She'll be all right.
01:13:48Well?
01:13:49It was this way.
01:13:50We come out of the bend.
01:13:51We couldn't have been doing more than eight miles an hour.
01:13:53There was a grinding noise and we'd had it.
01:13:55Ah, sure, that's women drivers all over.
01:13:57They never look where they're going.
01:13:59She was gazing at the side of the road with Tivoli glance in front of her.
01:14:02You should have swerved over.
01:14:03How could we?
01:14:04We never saw her until she was on us.
01:14:05And then she was going on the wrong side of the road.
01:14:07Well, one of you better come with me and show me what's what.
01:14:09All right.
01:14:18Come on.
01:14:25Fix that onto the tube.
01:14:40Thank you.
01:14:48There'll be an inquest.
01:14:50Well, let's see if...
01:14:51There's no use thinking about that now.
01:14:52After all, it wasn't your fault.
01:14:55I had a clean license.
01:15:13Respirations failing.
01:15:15Have you got any carmine?
01:15:16I don't carry it.
01:15:17I've got some in my car.
01:15:18Small box in the front pocket.
01:15:47It wasn't in the front, but I found it.
01:16:09Quickly.
01:16:17Thank you.
01:16:38It's the last one for this.
01:16:47Thank you.
01:17:07That was a good job.
01:17:10I hope so.
01:17:11It's your line, I suppose.
01:17:13Yes.
01:17:17She has a good fighting chance now.
01:17:19It gives you a feeling of relation,
01:17:20a feeling of control over people's destinies.
01:17:23You'll find that?
01:17:24Certainly not.
01:17:25I was trying to assess your reactions.
01:17:27A spectacular recovery, of course,
01:17:28would do my practice a world of good.
01:17:30Apart from that,
01:17:31it's all one to me whether she recovers or not.
01:17:34You expect everyone else to feel like that?
01:17:36Not you.
01:17:37I'm not speaking of obsessionals.
01:17:39I'm speaking of the normal, the perfectly sane.
01:17:42Let me put it this way.
01:17:43The vessel which we normal people use
01:17:45for imbibing experience
01:17:46is a stout austerity model
01:17:48which doesn't crack.
01:17:50With others, like yourself,
01:17:52the glass, though of superior design,
01:17:54cracks quite easily.
01:17:55Now,
01:17:56instead of leaving it upturned on a shelf,
01:17:58a danger to all,
01:18:00it should be thrown away.
01:18:04I don't accept your diagnosis.
01:18:09A doctor dispenses death and healing
01:18:11with blind impartiality.
01:18:13He's not supposed to
01:18:14weigh the merits of an individual case
01:18:16and exercise a sense of justice.
01:18:18I resent that.
01:18:21What I did today,
01:18:24and you know what I'm talking about,
01:18:26was just.
01:18:29It was a gesture of independence
01:18:30by a sense of justice
01:18:31which years of professional practice
01:18:32have threatened with atrophy.
01:18:36Today, I sat in judgment.
01:18:39Oh.
01:18:42Paranoia.
01:18:43My diagnosis was quite correct.
01:18:46You are mad.
01:18:48Who's the owner of that car outside?
01:18:51That must be Dr. Farrell's car.
01:18:53Dr. Farrell's?
01:18:54That ain't Dr. Farrell's car.
01:18:55It must be Blackman's.
01:18:56It must be the owner's.
01:18:57Who's he?
01:18:58Dr. Farrell's car must be outside somewhere.
01:19:01There's one outside.
01:19:02Thank you.
01:19:03That ain't Dr. Farrell's.
01:19:04It must be down the building.
01:19:06It must be the owner's.
01:19:07Yeah, no, it must be.
01:19:09I'm going to ask him one or two questions.
01:19:11Thank you.
01:19:14She looks better, doesn't she?
01:19:16Yes, her color's good.
01:19:18Beginning to look very different.
01:19:20He was wonderful.
01:19:22I shall never be able to thank him.
01:19:26Where is he?
01:19:28I don't know.
01:19:30Look, Doctor, she moved.
01:19:32Oh, we must expect that now
01:19:33that she intends to live.
01:19:35Are you the owner of that car outside?
01:19:37No.
01:19:38Who does it belong to?
01:19:39I don't know.
01:19:41Why?
01:19:42I nearly ran right into it.
01:19:44He's parked outside without a rear light.
01:19:46Oh, is that all?
01:20:09I'm going to relate the case history
01:20:11of a matter of this class.
01:20:13I have a disdain
01:20:14for valuable members of society.
01:20:16And you ain't like those paranoids
01:20:17you tell someone about it.
01:20:19Yes, he was a patient of mine.
01:20:21You don't know anything, sir.
01:20:22No, he was perfectly sane.
01:20:24The same as I am.
01:20:26Not you.
01:20:27I'm not speaking of a patient.
01:20:29I'm speaking of a man.
01:20:31I'm not speaking of a man.
01:20:33I'm speaking of a man.
01:20:35I'm not speaking of a man.
01:20:37I'm speaking of a man.
01:20:39I'm not speaking of a man.
01:20:41I'm speaking of a man.
01:20:43I'm not speaking of a man.

01:21:05I'm not speaking of a man.
01:21:07I'm not speaking of a man.
01:21:09I'm not speaking of a man.
01:21:11I'm not speaking of a man.
01:21:33What I did today
01:21:36was just.
01:21:37Years of professional practice have threatened with atrophy.

01:21:43Paranoia.

01:21:47You are mad.
01:21:48You're raving mad!
