00:01:55I'm a reporter on the Daily Globe.
00:01:56I'm a reporter on the Daily Globe.
00:01:57When I was much younger, ten, that's when I got the feeling.
00:02:04What gave it to you?
00:02:05Her braids.
00:02:07Tell me about her braids.
00:02:09I got excited.
00:02:11Go on.
00:02:12I grabbed her braids.
00:02:14Is that when you hurt her?
00:02:16I've never hurt her.
00:02:18Did you pull on her braids?
00:02:21I caressed them.
00:02:23Just...
00:02:24Did you pull on them?
00:02:26Do you think I'm a fetishist?
00:02:28Hell no, Johnny.
00:02:30Let them bring up that word.
00:02:32Not you.
00:02:34You'll be facing the best psychiatrist in the state.
00:02:37They'll know when you're shabby.
00:02:39I feel sorry for Doc Fong.
00:02:41Professionally, he knows he's playing with dynamite.
00:02:44But he just couldn't turn down his closest friend, Swanee.
00:02:47They were in psychological warfare back in World War II.
00:02:51Today, the Doc's a top-flight head-handler.
00:02:54Swanee's my boss.
00:02:55Managing editor of the Daily Globe.
00:02:57The role you'll be playing will be stronger than your strongest imagination.
00:03:02So don't ever weaken.
00:03:04It'll be a daily duel between the insane and your own sane mind.
00:03:08And as for the doctors there...
00:03:10Lower your mask for an instant, and they'll know you're a phony.
00:03:13Never let them forget you're living on a sexual powder keg.
00:03:17It's all yours, Swanee.
00:03:19Think he's ready?
00:03:20As he ever will be.
00:03:22Well...
00:03:24The next move...
00:03:26Is yours, Kathy.
00:03:28Caressing my braids.
00:03:30Kissing them.
00:03:32What a disgusting story.
00:03:35What happens if they find out I'm not really his sister?
00:03:38I'll handle that.
00:03:42Johnny...
00:03:44Johnny, you've got to be crazy to want to be committed to an insane asylum to solve a murder.
00:03:48Even if I don't crack this case, honey, my experiences alone will make a book, a play, or even a movie sale.
00:03:54Every man wants to get to the top of his profession.
00:03:56Mine is winning the Pulitzer Prize.
00:03:58If this story doesn't do it, nothing ever will.
00:04:00But their sickness is bound to rub off on you.
00:04:03I said the same thing to you when you started singing in your skin.
00:04:07Remember, Kathy?
00:04:08But those hookers didn't get to you, did they?
00:04:10And those lunatics are not going to get to me.
00:04:12He's right.
00:04:14Reporters have impersonated coal miners, school teachers, hoodlums.
00:04:18Those reporters went in for a purpose.
00:04:20Not to win a journalistic halo on the cover of Life.
00:04:23And not to win a cash prize to get their pictures in Time and Newsweek.
00:04:26Oh, come on, Kathy. All you have to do is play your part.
00:04:29I'm fed up.
00:04:31Fed up playing grief chorus to your rehearsed nightmare.
00:04:34Why don't you smuggle aboard a rocket and write the memoirs of an astronaut?
00:04:37Do you have any cigarettes, Kathy?
00:04:38Why don't you give up this psychoanalytical binge?
00:04:41Because it's what people buy.
00:04:43Mark Twain didn't psychoanalyze Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer.
00:04:47Dickens didn't put Oliver Twist on the couch because he was hungry.
00:04:50Oh, come on, Kathy.
00:04:51Good coffee comes out of people, Johnny.
00:04:53Not out of a lot of explanatory medical terms.
00:04:55Now, stop it, will you?
00:04:57You're on a hopped-up show offstage. Get off it.
00:05:00Don't be Moses leading your lunatics to the Pulitzer Prize.
00:05:03Would you care for a cigarette?
00:05:04Oh, you make me sick.
00:05:06Sick at the thought of you playing games with your mind and riding that crazy horse.
00:05:11I have been conditioned for a whole year to ride that horse.
00:05:14You've got to saddle it and get me off and running. That's all, Kathy.
00:05:18Scratch me in this race, Johnny.
00:05:29We made a deal.
00:05:31My whole instinct is to kick myself hard forever having gone into this deal with you.
00:05:38What I should do is to land a righteous punch on your super-civilized dog.
00:05:41Oh, Kathy, you're an intellectual well past the age of...
00:05:43Don't you dare analyze me!
00:05:48Johnny.
00:05:51Johnny.
00:05:53Johnny, I'm in love with a normal reporter holding down a normal job.
00:05:57Normal, huh?
00:05:58Don't you think I like singing in that sewer with a hot light on my navel?
00:06:02I'm doing it because it pays more than shorthand or clerking or typing.
00:06:06I know that, Kathy.
00:06:07I'm saving money so we can have that normal life. That's all I want.
00:06:10I know all about that.
00:06:12But I'm scared.
00:06:14I'm scared when I see how calm Dr. Fong and Swanee and you can be about this whole crazy scheme of yours.
00:06:21I'm scared this whole Jekyll Hyde idea is going to make a psycho out of me.
00:06:26Now, wait a minute, Kathy.
00:06:28Kathy.
00:06:30Do you think I'd ever let anything happen to you?
00:06:33But you've just got to go through with your part, honey.
00:06:36You're the only one we can trust.
00:06:44Thank God.
00:06:47Kathy.
00:06:49Then go back to your dive!
00:06:51Dive?
00:06:54That dive is holy compared to your ideas of work.
00:06:58Hamlet was made for Freud, not you.
00:07:01Hamlet was made for Freud, not you.
00:07:32I want somebody to love
00:07:45Someone to care for me
00:07:56I need somebody to hold
00:08:09Someone who'll hold just me
00:08:18I'd like someone who'll always be tender and sweet and kind
00:08:35Who's more of mine?
00:08:51I need somebody to kiss
00:09:00Someone who'll kiss just me
00:09:08I want somebody to miss
00:09:14Someone who'll miss just me
00:09:28I know that somewhere
00:09:34There's a someone
00:09:40Who's true
00:09:49I know the lover I want
00:09:59Darling, my love is you
00:10:19I told Mr. Freud that the only way for a stripper to strip
00:10:23is for me to take off all my clothes.
00:10:31Did Johnny fall?
00:10:32No.
00:10:49I'm afraid that this whole Jekyll and Hyde idea is going to backfire
00:10:52and make a psycho out of me.
00:11:01But their sickness is bound to rub off on you.
00:11:06I said the same thing to you when you started singing in your skin.
00:11:09Remember, Kathy?
00:11:10But those hawkers didn't get to you, did they?
00:11:12And those lunatics are not going to get to me.
00:11:15She's going to blow her top if that guy dumped her.
00:11:20How can a girl love a guy that much?
00:11:24Tell him it's Kathy.
00:11:27Yeah?
00:11:31Put her on.
00:11:33Oh, Swanee.
00:11:35Change your mind, Kathy?
00:11:37Swanee, it's been four days.
00:11:40You called the shot.
00:11:41Swanee.
00:11:42Swanee.
00:11:44I haven't heard from him in four days.
00:11:47If you love him, you'd go to the limit for him.
00:11:58Well, good evening.
00:11:59What can I do for you, young lady?
00:12:02My brother won't let me alone.
00:12:08How old is he?
00:12:10Thirty.
00:12:12Are you married?
00:12:14No.
00:12:16Does he live with you?
00:12:18No.
00:12:20Has he ever tried to attack you?
00:12:23He's tried.
00:12:26Has he ever hurt you?
00:12:29Yes.
00:12:31Have you ever brought charges against his sickness?
00:12:35Why not?
00:12:36Ashamed.
00:12:38And now?
00:12:43He said he'd...
00:12:45kill me if I...
00:12:49Are you ready to sign a formal complaint that he's mentally unsound?
00:12:55I didn't hear you.
00:12:56Yes.
00:12:58What's your brother's full name, please?
00:13:00John Barrett.
00:13:09County General Hospital.
00:13:10Psycho unit, please.
00:13:12Dr. Mencken.
00:13:14Kane, 16th Precinct.
00:13:16Subject's name, John Barrett.
00:13:20Attempted incest with sister.
00:13:23As soon as we pick him up, we'll send him over for emergency admission.
00:13:28How dare you jackass me down here on Earth say so?
00:13:30I'm a reporter for the Daily Globe.
00:13:31You can call my boss. He'll vouch for me.
00:13:33We checked with him. He gave you a clean bill of health.
00:13:35That's more like it.
00:13:36But his word doesn't carry much weight, since you're a doctor.
00:13:39It doesn't carry much weight,
00:13:40since your sister signed a formal complaint against him.
00:13:42Formal complaint? Now what can you expect from a stripper?
00:13:44Sis, come on in here and explain all your dreams.
00:13:46Please, Mr. Barrett, please.
00:13:48Sit down.
00:13:51Please.
00:13:59Your father living?
00:14:00No.
00:14:02Did you like him?
00:14:03Of course.
00:14:07Any brothers?
00:14:08No.
00:14:10Any other sisters?
00:14:11Just Kathy, that's enough.
00:14:14Mother living?
00:14:15No.
00:14:17Did you ever want your mother?
00:14:18What?
00:14:19What are you saying?
00:14:20That's a filthy thing to say to me!
00:14:23Please.
00:14:24We're here to help you.
00:14:33You, uh...
00:14:35You love Kathy, don't you?
00:14:36She's my sister.
00:14:38You love her like a woman, don't you?
00:14:39I would never let a meathead have her, no.
00:14:42Mothers and fathers have the same fears.
00:14:46You understand me, don't you?
00:14:48Of course, of course.
00:14:51Tell me,
00:14:52when was the first time you felt differently toward your sister?
00:14:57Well, there must have been a first time...
00:15:00when I was 14.
00:15:04Look at the way his eyes lit up.
00:15:06He's got me talking.
00:15:08He's a happy little rascal.
00:15:11Maybe younger, when I was 10.
00:15:14Now, if you just ask me what made me feel different,
00:15:17this story will write itself.
00:15:20What made you feel differently toward her?
00:15:23Her braids.
00:15:25Tell me about her braids.
00:15:27I caressed them.
00:15:29Kissed them.
00:15:31Did you pull on them?
00:15:33I'd never hurt her.
00:15:34The next question's got to be about fetishists,
00:15:36according to Doc Fong's script.
00:15:39Oh, I don't like this.
00:15:40He's stalling too much.
00:15:43If he doesn't come through with that question,
00:15:45I'll fall right on my typographical face.
00:15:51Do you know what a fetishist is?
00:15:54There's no contest in this.
00:15:56Sure I know.
00:15:57As a reporter,
00:15:58do you ever cover a story where a man became intensely excited
00:16:01whenever he saw a woman with long hair?
00:16:03Long, loose hair.
00:16:06Yes.
00:16:07Did he make love to her?
00:16:08Yes.
00:16:09He killed her.
00:16:10You don't want to wake up some fine morning
00:16:11to learn you killed your sister.
00:16:12Oh, now, Doctor, I'm no epileptic
00:16:13or some kind of fetish for hair.
00:16:14Of course, of course.
00:16:15Kathy, now, her hair is different.
00:16:17I understand.
00:16:18I figured you would.
00:16:19I understand.
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21Didn't you threaten to commit suicide
00:16:22if she ever got married?
00:16:24Didn't you threaten your sister
00:16:25if she wouldn't let you make love to her?
00:16:26That's different.
00:16:27Why?
00:16:28Because she's different.
00:16:29Why is she different?
00:16:30Because.
00:16:31Because why?
00:16:32Because I want her,
00:16:33and nobody's going to keep us apart.
00:16:34Nobody's going to...
00:16:42Kathy!
00:16:43Kathy!
00:16:48Kathy!
00:16:49Kathy!
00:16:55Kathy!
00:16:56Kathy!
00:16:58Kathy!
00:16:59Kathy!
00:17:00Kathy!
00:17:02Kathy!
00:17:03Kathy!
00:17:04Kathy!
00:17:09Personality synthesis.
00:17:11Emotional state.
00:17:12To test positive towards one's self.
00:17:13Test three.
00:17:14Emotional state.
00:17:15Emotional tendencies.
00:17:16Test two.
00:17:17Personality synthesis.
00:17:19Emotional state.
00:17:23You were a healthy lover
00:17:25until you started this crazy idea.
00:17:28And now it's consumed you and made a nervous wreck out of me.
00:17:34Well, reverse the situation, Johnny.
00:17:39What if I...
00:17:42Why are we going away on a trip that could separate us for weeks or months?
00:17:48Would you help me put a gap between us?
00:17:54The drama critic on your paper said my sharply tinted hair was like a soft halo
00:18:03over wide-set, inviting eyes.
00:18:09And my mouth...
00:18:11My mouth was a lush tunnel through which golden notes came.
00:18:18Stop it, Kathy.
00:18:21And my movements evoke the most inflammatory passions in all...
00:18:30I miss you, Kathy.
00:18:32...fail...
00:18:33My young, fleeting love.
00:18:36I miss you.
00:18:38I miss you.
00:18:40I miss you.
00:18:42I miss you.
00:18:44I miss you.
00:18:46I miss you.
00:18:49My yen for you goes up and down like a fever chart.
00:18:57I love you, Kathy.
00:18:58I don't like being alone, Johnny.
00:19:03But you made me be alone, Johnny.
00:19:07And I have a right to find another Johnny.
00:19:12No!
00:19:15Let me have this frequency table.
00:19:26Yeah.
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:28Mm-hmm.
00:19:30Shows a culmination of internal sexual conflict,
00:19:35generally of old standing,
00:19:39and based on a constitutionally determined chaotic sexual pattern.
00:19:45There's no doubt.
00:19:47His pattern of symptoms in a mental disease is familiar.
00:19:52We've got to resolve the underlying sexual conflict.
00:19:59Whenever he wants his sister physically,
00:20:03he is taking the form of a mental breakdown,
00:20:09an acute schizophrenic episode.
00:20:18What does it mean?
00:20:21It means I'm a pretty good teacher and Johnny's a smart student.
00:20:24So far, so good.
00:20:26I don't mean that.
00:20:29Aren't either of you concerned about his breakdown?
00:20:32What breakdown?
00:20:33Well, taking all those tests is bound to make him sick.
00:20:36You're right.
00:20:37That is something to worry about.
00:20:38On the contrary.
00:20:40I think he's got the perfect mood of borderline psychosis,
00:20:44exactly as re-rehearsed.
00:20:46And if the superior court judge buys his performance,
00:20:49he'll be committed.
00:20:52140 IQ classification.
00:20:55Very good, Mr. Barrett.
00:20:57Means superior intelligence.
00:20:58Oh, my name's Wilkes.
00:21:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:01You'll have to get used to no belt, no shoelaces.
00:21:04New patient, John Barrett.
00:21:06Barrett, eh?
00:21:10Barrett, put it back.
00:21:16Barrett.
00:21:18Ward B, bed 2.
00:21:22Come on, Mr. Barrett.
00:21:24Come on.
00:21:28Barrett, huh?
00:21:29So you're a 140 IQ journalist.
00:21:33Where's your typewriter?
00:21:34Easy, Lloyd.
00:21:36The last reporter I had on this floor was Ben Franklin,
00:21:39and that egghead gave me more trouble than...
00:21:40Come on, Mr. Barrett.
00:21:41Thorn phonies all you newspaper men.
00:21:58You came at the make friends hour.
00:22:02Patients who behave are permitted to congregate in this corridor.
00:22:05They call it the street.
00:22:06Gives them a chance to make new friends.
00:22:09The women have their street too.
00:22:12I used to work in the female lane,
00:22:13but the nympho ward got too dangerous for me.
00:22:25Well, this one's yours, Mr. Barrett.
00:22:27Am I the only loony in this ward?
00:22:30No, Mr. Barrett.
00:22:31Your roommates are in the street.
00:22:33Oh, if you don't mind,
00:22:34we never use words here like nuts, bugs,
00:22:37screwy, goofy, loony.
00:22:40We'd like it very much if you didn't use them either.
00:22:42I'm sorry. I'm a greenhorn inmate.
00:22:45You're a patient, not an inmate.
00:22:46This is an insane asylum, is it not?
00:22:48Not exactly.
00:22:49This is a mental hospital,
00:22:50and we're dealing with mental hygiene.
00:22:53After Dr. Christo takes you in hand,
00:22:55you'll be a different man.
00:22:57He has one of the finest records in the country.
00:23:06I really don't belong here.
00:23:07I understand.
00:23:09You won't cause any trouble, though, will you?
00:23:11As you did when you attacked
00:23:12the county hospital psychiatrist.
00:23:14I forgot myself.
00:23:15We're here to help you to remember, not to forget.
00:23:19I phone my sister?
00:23:20No, I'm sorry.
00:23:22Lloyd will show you your place in the dining room.
00:23:25Lloyd?
00:23:26What's the matter?
00:23:27Lloyd, the keeper that called me a phony.
00:23:30He's no keeper.
00:23:31He's an attendant like me.
00:23:34Lloyd doesn't like me.
00:23:37Don't mind him.
00:23:38He doesn't mean anything
00:23:39to that chip on his shoulder.
00:23:41It's just his way of fighting everybody
00:23:43because he can't cure the patients.
00:23:46Well, make yourself at home, Mr. Barrett.
00:23:51I made it!
00:23:53I'm in!
00:23:58Ever since my voice changed,
00:24:00I've wanted to be in the company
00:24:02of the newspaper greats.
00:24:07And this long corridor is the magic highway
00:24:10to the Pulitzer Prize.
00:24:14Maybe I'm looking at the killer right now.
00:24:23Three witnesses.
00:24:25Stewart, Trent, Bowden.
00:24:37How do you do?
00:24:38I'm Pagliacci.
00:24:39Johnny Barrett.
00:24:41Welcome to Ward B, Mr. Barrett.
00:24:51Did you expect a demonstration of insanity?
00:24:54Forget it.
00:24:57What are you in here for, Mr. Barrett?
00:25:11Come on.
00:25:42Witness number one, Stewart.
00:25:45Farm boy from the Bible Belt.
00:25:47Hobby, playing Civil War games.
00:25:50Believes he's General J.E.B. Stewart,
00:25:52Confederate hero of the Civil War.
00:25:58Mr. Pulitzer.
00:26:03I'm here to see you.
00:26:08I'm here to see you.
00:26:13I'm here to see you.
00:26:18I'm here to see you.
00:26:24Mr. Pulitzer.
00:26:27Come on, I'll show you to your table.
00:26:41This is your place from now on, Brisbane.
00:26:44Yes, sir.
00:26:46Just behave yourself.
00:26:47Yes, sir.
00:26:49Yes, sir.
00:27:00Don't give us any knives or forks around here.
00:27:02They're afraid we'll hurt ourselves.
00:27:19Take your anticonvulsant.
00:27:42I don't like it.
00:27:45Give me the...
00:27:50Tranquilizer drug.
00:27:52No, no, no.
00:27:53Give me...
00:27:54Give me, give me, give me the...
00:27:57That one, that one.
00:27:58No, no, no.
00:27:59That one there.
00:28:02I hate my meat already chewed up.
00:28:04I can eat a steak the size of a cow.
00:28:06What am I, an infant?
00:28:07Drink this.
00:28:08He ate my vitamins.
00:28:13I hate my vitamins.
00:28:20Stuart.
00:28:23Give me back my vitamins.
00:28:25Give me back my vitamins.
00:28:27Give me back my vitamins.
00:28:29Stuart, bring your brigade up around the right here.
00:28:31We'll flank McClellan's forces.
00:28:33Then we hit Antietam and hit him hard.
00:28:35You will address me as sir.
00:28:37A lieutenant general never serves a major general.
00:28:44What lieutenant general?
00:28:45Nathan Bedford Forrest.
00:28:51Antietam.
00:28:52Report to my command post.
00:28:53Where are you, Bidwaxer?
00:28:54Come on, gentlemen.
00:28:55We're going back to the wards.
00:28:58Where are you, Bidwaxer?
00:29:00A mile north of Gettysburg, Ward B.
00:29:03You better leave your brigade behind with me, general.
00:29:06I'll be there, sir.
00:29:08Now march.
00:29:13Let's go.
00:29:43I know the men want me, Johnny.
00:29:46But I want you.
00:29:49And you...
00:29:51You want the Pulitzer Prize.
00:29:57I want somebody to love
00:30:12Someone to care for me
00:30:23I need you, Johnny
00:30:53La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:00La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:03La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:06La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:09La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:12La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:15La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:19La-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:22La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:27La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:30La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:33La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:36La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:31:53Zzzzzz
00:31:57Zzzzzzz
00:32:00Zzzzzzz
00:32:33You come dear, Fenita.
00:32:40Thank you.
00:32:41Thank you.
00:32:42It was in the middle of that aria, and they pitched forward on my face like this.
00:32:56I died of a heart attack caused by overweight.
00:33:07A knife is a messy weapon.
00:33:13It was a knife that killed Sloane in the kitchen.
00:33:21Do you know why so many people came to my funeral?
00:33:26They wanted to make sure I was dead.
00:33:30Who used a knife on Sloane?
00:33:36I took my time killing my wife.
00:33:40Did you know that a man named Sloane, a patient here, was killed with a knife in the kitchen?
00:33:46It's still an unsolved murder.
00:33:49I despise butchery.
00:33:51I didn't want my wife to die like Sloane, so I gently sang her to death.
00:34:01Good night, Mr. Barrett.
00:34:08He remembered Sloane's murder.
00:34:11They do have flashes of sanity.
00:34:21Breakfast bell! Wake up, John! Wake up!
00:34:26Jonathan, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
00:34:30Wake up, John! Wake up! Wake up!
00:34:33Good morning.
00:34:34That's better.
00:34:46Good morning, John.
00:34:48Good morning.
00:35:08You started out as a copy boy, I see.
00:35:10Yes, when I was 14.
00:35:12And you supported your sister.
00:35:16Did you sleep well?
00:35:19No.
00:35:22I'm an opera lover now.
00:35:25Pagliacci is harmless.
00:35:29I want to help you, John, but I need your cooperation.
00:35:32I understand.
00:35:33Why didn't you cooperate with my staff this morning?
00:35:36They want to hurt me.
00:35:37Do I want to hurt you?
00:35:43Oh, I've had my eye on you every minute since I've been here.
00:35:47Do you know who I am?
00:35:48Of course.
00:35:49Who am I?
00:35:52Dr. Christo, clinical director, head of the medical staff for seven years.
00:35:56Married, two children, hobby, golf.
00:35:59Don't you know?
00:36:04Now it's time to ask me about voices.
00:36:09Do you hear voices?
00:36:11Yes.
00:36:12My head hurts.
00:36:14I have to get out of here.
00:36:15Call my paper.
00:36:16They can't go to the press without me there.
00:36:17Is Kathy all right?
00:36:18That's why you're here, John.
00:36:20To make sure she will be all right.
00:36:22Do you understand?
00:36:23Why did you fingerprint me?
00:36:25I've committed no crime.
00:36:26You're not in prison, John.
00:36:28He told me I shouldn't love her as a woman.
00:36:31Who told you?
00:36:33The man on TV.
00:36:34He looked right at me and told me it was naughty.
00:36:36Now, how would he know?
00:36:37He's never met Kathy.
00:36:39Does he talk to you often?
00:36:41Every time I turn on TV.
00:36:44Could this man be your father?
00:36:46My father wouldn't get sore if I played around with Kathy.
00:36:50And besides, what's he doing on TV?
00:36:52He's dead.
00:36:53I am impotent.
00:36:55And I like it.
00:37:01How are you feeling, Mr. Barrett?
00:37:03Fine, just fine.
00:37:05Hydrotherapy.
00:37:06Is that what you call this treatment I'm getting?
00:37:08That's right.
00:37:10Kathy come to visit me, huh?
00:37:12Not yet.
00:37:13She'll probably come on visiting day.
00:37:17Confidentially, Mr. Wilkes?
00:37:19Yes.
00:37:22Do you really think that all this nerve-calming treatment
00:37:25is going to help me forget how much I want her in my arms?
00:37:43We know about his fetish for your hair.
00:37:47But did he ever try to cut it off?
00:37:53Once.
00:37:54With a pair of scissors or a knife?
00:38:00Scissors.
00:38:03Did he kiss you when he tried to cut off your hair?
00:38:06No.
00:38:08Yes.
00:38:12Did he ever attack any man who showed an interest in you?
00:38:17Yes.
00:38:20Do you love John?
00:38:21Oh, yes.
00:38:23More than just as a brother?
00:38:26What do you mean?
00:38:28Well, often these cases are divided.
00:38:31I don't know if you've ever been in a relationship.
00:38:34What do you mean?
00:38:36Well, often these cases are developed through encouragement.
00:38:41What do you mean?
00:38:46Forgive me for saying it, Miss Barrett,
00:38:48but there's something very strange about this case.
00:38:52And you don't appear to be too cooperative.
00:38:59I'm sorry, Dr. Christo.
00:39:02When I received your call,
00:39:03I thought something had happened to Johnny, and I...
00:39:08Well, I just wasn't prepared for this.
00:39:10Inquisition?
00:39:11No.
00:39:12But you thought of the word, didn't you?
00:39:16Yes.
00:39:18Was he jealous of the way you revealed your body to other men?
00:39:31Relax, Miss Barrett.
00:39:38May I see Johnny now?
00:39:40He'll have to wait for visiting day.
00:39:43How is he getting along?
00:39:45He's in dance therapy now.
00:39:47Dance therapy?
00:39:53I've got an idea how I can help my buddy.
00:39:55I'd do anything to help.
00:39:56All right, have the fellow play Dixie.
00:40:01Joe, would you please play Dixie?
00:40:31Dixie!
00:40:56A one and a two and a three.
00:41:02And a one and two and a one and two and a three and four.
00:41:06And a one and two and a three and four...
00:41:10and a one and two and a three and four...
00:41:23yeah, and four...
00:41:24a one and a two...
00:41:26I want water!
00:41:27I'll get the water for you, General.
00:41:31Dixie!
00:41:33One, two, three, and four, and five!
00:41:37And one, and two, three, and four!
00:41:42Dixie!
00:41:43And five, and six, and seven, and eight, and nine.
00:41:51My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:41:55My bunny lies over the sea.
00:42:00My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:42:05Oh, bring back my bunny to me.
00:42:09Bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my bunny.
00:42:15Nymphos.
00:42:18He's mine.
00:42:20He's mine.
00:42:23He's mine.
00:42:26He's mine.
00:42:28He's mine.
00:42:30What's the matter with this door?
00:42:32He's mine.
00:42:34He's mine.
00:42:37He's mine.
00:42:40He's mine.
00:42:46Well, girl?
00:42:49I hope that door opens.
00:42:52It's got to.
00:42:58It's got to.
00:43:20My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:43:23My bunny lies over the sea.
00:43:27My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:43:31Oh, bring back my bunny to me.
00:43:35My bunny lies over the sea.
00:43:39My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:43:44I love coffee.
00:43:45I love tea.
00:43:47I love coffee.
00:43:48Boys love me.
00:43:50I love coffee.
00:43:51My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:43:53I love coffee.
00:43:54Boys love me.
00:43:56I love coffee.
00:43:57I love tea.
00:43:58I love coffee.
00:43:59Bring back my bunny to me.
00:44:02Bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my bunny to me.
00:44:07My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:44:10My bunny lies over the sea.
00:44:12My bunny lies over the ocean.
00:44:14Oh, bring back my bunny to me.
00:44:16I love coffee.
00:44:17I love tea.
00:44:18I love coffee.
00:44:19Boys love me.
00:44:20I love coffee.
00:44:21I love tea.
00:44:27I heard about you getting wounded at Shiloh, sir.
00:44:47Does it hurt much?
00:44:51I'll get the Miss Sargent to fix you some baked apples.
00:44:59Baked apple, huh?
00:45:03I haven't had any baked apples since I was in Japan.
00:45:07How far is that from Shiloh?
00:45:12Japan isn't in this country.
00:45:15It's far away in Asia.
00:45:22Is that Buddha still there?
00:45:29I keep seeing it in color.
00:45:31And it keeps looking at me.
00:45:33The great Buddha Kamakura.
00:45:35I want to climb a parallel up to his head.
00:45:38And look at the people down below praying for my battalion.
00:45:42I keep seeing monks in a parade.
00:45:45And little girls dressed like baby geishas.
00:45:48And little girls dressed like baby geishas.
00:45:51Going to prayer.
00:45:53To ask Buddha to take care of me when I go back to Korea.
00:45:57How did I get up there on that playground?
00:45:59It's on the roof of the world.
00:46:00And the wheel keeps going round and round and round.
00:46:06Like his commies kept going round and round on that hill in Korea.
00:46:11Toy train?
00:46:13Toy train?
00:46:14No.
00:46:18Another train.
00:46:22Mount Fuji.
00:46:26No.
00:46:27Another train.
00:46:28And another train.
00:46:29And another.
00:46:30And another.
00:46:31And another.
00:46:32And another.
00:46:36We were supposed to sandbag a train in Korea.
00:46:41But we were captured.
00:46:44I remember it was cold and they marched us in the snow.
00:46:54Who are you?
00:46:56Johnny Barrett.
00:47:01What is this place?
00:47:04It's a mental hospital.
00:47:06What am I doing here?
00:47:08You were a commie in Korea.
00:47:11That's a dirty lie.
00:47:12You became a member of the Kremlin, Gordon.
00:47:14Don't you call me your commie.
00:47:16You wrote your father that the Russians were your friends.
00:47:18Now you tell me something.
00:47:19Why should I write my pappy?
00:47:22He can't read.
00:47:24He's a tenant farmer.
00:47:25He can't read.
00:47:26All right.
00:47:30I remember.
00:47:34I remember I helped my father.
00:47:37I remember I helped pappy sharecropping on the man's land.
00:47:42But that's before I ran away from home and joined the army.
00:47:48But now why did I run away from home?
00:47:51I like my home.
00:47:56That's a downright lie.
00:48:00A downright lie.
00:48:07I know why I went over to the commies.
00:48:12Ever since I was a kid,
00:48:14my folks fed me bigotry for breakfast and ignorance for supper.
00:48:18Never.
00:48:20Not once did they ever make me feel proud of where I was born.
00:48:26See, that was the cancer they put in me.
00:48:31No knowledge of my country.
00:48:33No history.
00:48:36No pride.
00:48:39Just a hymn of hate.
00:48:44I'd have defected to any enemy.
00:48:48Because, you see, it was easy.
00:48:50My brains was cabbage.
00:48:52They taught me everything from cabbages to commissars.
00:48:56And they gave me a woman.
00:48:59And she called me mister.
00:49:02And she made me feel important.
00:49:07What changed your mind about the rats?
00:49:11The dog face.
00:49:15The dog face.
00:49:19I was having a ball waving a red flag
00:49:21until I met a sergeant from the 1st Division.
00:49:25He was a G.I. retread from World War II.
00:49:29Fought through North Africa and Sicily
00:49:32and all through Europe up to Czechoslovakia.
00:49:39And after he was captured in Korea,
00:49:40well, then he was transferred to my camp
00:49:42and then I was assigned to help brainwash him over the commissar.
00:49:47And he died.
00:49:54And this sergeant Kollowitz,
00:49:58that was his name, Kollowitz,
00:50:04he told me things that I never dreamed of.
00:50:10Things that I wanted to wrap up gentle and proud like
00:50:15and go to sleep thinking about.
00:50:20Things that give me a feeling like
00:50:25things my folks should have told me.
00:50:30And I wanted to go home.
00:50:33And I wanted to go home.
00:50:39So I stopped waving the red flag
00:50:42and the commis said I was sick in the head.
00:50:49So it was easy for me to get on the next prisoner exchange.
00:50:55And they brought me back and they gave me a dishonorable discharge.
00:51:00And nobody talked to me.
00:51:03And everybody spit on me.
00:51:06And pappy spit on me.
00:51:11The newspaper reporters just kept hounding me,
00:51:14hounding me, hounding me and hounding me,
00:51:17hounding me and hounding me.
00:51:30Stuart.
00:51:35I'm sorry, but
00:51:38I gotta ask you a question.
00:51:43Do you think they'll let me out of this place now that I'm all right?
00:51:53Did you see the man that killed Sloan in the kitchen?
00:52:00Yeah, I saw him.
00:52:05I was under a table with two other men.
00:52:12What was I doing under a table?
00:52:15I didn't see his face, but
00:52:18I know he had white pants.
00:52:23White pants.
00:52:26White pants.
00:52:30Stone wall.
00:52:33A bend in a stone wall.
00:52:39Lee!
00:52:41We've got to help General Lee!
00:52:44Come on!
00:52:46Let's get those damn Yankees!
00:52:52Come on!
00:52:59Marty.
00:53:29Come on.
00:53:40The killer is an attendant or a doctor.
00:53:43Stuart couldn't see his face, but he saw white pants.
00:53:48Tell Swanee that one of the other two witnesses
00:53:51will open up. I feel it.
00:53:56The killer is an attendant or a doctor.
00:53:58Stuart couldn't see his face, but he saw white pants.
00:54:02Tell Swanee that one of the other two witnesses
00:54:05will open up. I feel it.
00:54:18You know, if he went down into a coal mine on a disaster story,
00:54:21he'd come up with a little coal dirt on his face, wouldn't he?
00:54:24He's getting sick.
00:54:25Doing great.
00:54:26He's been there only six weeks.
00:54:27Narrowed the hunt down to a hospital employee, didn't he?
00:54:30Something the cops couldn't do.
00:54:32If you don't phone Dr. Christo right now
00:54:34and get Johnny out of there tonight, I will.
00:54:36Oh, Kathy, you're becoming a nervous wreck.
00:54:38I'm more worried about you outside than I am Johnny inside.
00:54:43Phone him!
00:54:44You phone him!
00:54:46Call Dr. Christo and you'll lose Johnny for good,
00:54:48and you know it!
00:54:56Come on.
00:55:13Here's a stick of gum.
00:55:18Have another one. Come on.
00:55:19Chew, chew. Open your mouth and chew.
00:55:21I got five. Come on.
00:55:24Chew. Chew them good. Open your mouth.
00:55:27It's very good for you. Here.
00:55:29It's very good for you to chew these up.
00:55:31Chew them.
00:55:33One more. That'll be just enough.
00:55:36Chew. Come on. Chew, chew, chew.
00:55:38See, you chew, and your jaw muscles, they get tired, eh?
00:55:43And then the other muscles,
00:55:46they get the message, and they get tired too, eh?
00:55:50And before you know it,
00:55:52you're sleeping.
00:55:55And when we're asleep,
00:55:59nobody can tell a sane man from an insane man.
00:56:02Eh?
00:56:05Good night, Mr. Barrett.
00:56:07Good night, Mr. Pollard.
00:56:22Did you make Johnny change his mind?
00:56:24I tried, but he's just too close to the story now.
00:56:28That ex-G.I. Stewart has been transferred to another floor,
00:56:31but Johnny is certain that Trent or Bowden will open up.
00:56:34Was Dr. Fong with you?
00:56:35Uh-huh.
00:56:36What did he say?
00:56:37That it's natural for Johnny to show mental strain.
00:56:40What else?
00:56:41Well, that's it.
00:56:42Do you want me to check with Dr. Fong myself?
00:56:44Well, he is a doctor.
00:56:46He's a doctor.
00:56:47Do you want me to check with Dr. Fong myself?
00:56:49Well, he is afraid that the force driving Johnny can boomerang.
00:56:55Meaning he could snap, is that it?
00:56:56Now, don't jump to conclusions.
00:56:58Look, if I pulled him off now,
00:57:00he'd still suffer from some kind of depressive psychosis
00:57:03because he'd never know what would have happened
00:57:05if he had stuck it out long enough to contact the other witnesses.
00:57:09You mean if he quits now, that depression sickness could hit him?
00:57:12Yes.
00:57:13But if he cracks the murder, he'll be all right, won't he?
00:57:15Yes.
00:57:17Do you seriously believe that?
00:57:19Yes!
00:57:20You're crazy!
00:57:46Yes.
00:58:01Oh, no. No, thank you. No.
00:58:03There is nothing in there that will hurt you.
00:58:05Last time I went into a strange room, I was attacked by amazons.
00:58:10That's the sacred dream most men have.
00:58:12Well, you try it sometime. Tell me about it.
00:58:14Come on, Mr. Barrett.
00:58:25Something wrong?
00:58:26No.
00:58:28Just saw the twitch of one of your muscles.
00:58:30The one in my head?
00:58:35Tell me, John.
00:58:37Is your desire for your sister still as strong as ever?
00:58:41I'll tell you what, Doc.
00:58:42You level me off, and I'll share all my dreams with you.
00:58:46I'm cold and sweaty!
00:58:48Chill sweats are usual in your case.
00:58:52What is my case?
00:58:55You're suffering from a form of dementia praecox incident to the age of puberty,
00:59:01characterized by childish behavior,
00:59:05hallucinations,
00:59:07and emotional deterioration.
00:59:13I'll lead you to your sister.
00:59:25Somebody sleeping in my bed, says the papa bear.
00:59:28Come on, get up. Go to your bed. Go on.
00:59:43What are you in here for, Mr. Barrett?
00:59:52God-haunted ghost in the street of no return.
00:59:55Oh, Kathy, what a story this is going to make.
01:00:05Don't you dare strike me.
01:00:07I'm pregnant.
01:00:09I've been carrying my baby for five months now.
01:00:14God-haunted ghost. Not bad for a lead.
01:00:18If only Stuart had held on a little longer.
01:00:21Another two seconds and I'd have cracked this yarn.
01:00:33Witness number two, Trench.
01:00:36Only Negro student in the Southern University.
01:00:39Hobby, collecting pillar cases.
01:00:41Trent.
01:00:42Yes, sir.
01:00:43The pillar case is missing.
01:00:45I don't have it, sir.
01:00:46It's from your bed.
01:00:47I don't have it, sir.
01:00:48You want to go back into the hole?
01:00:50I don't have it, sir.
01:00:51Let him keep it.
01:00:52Keep out of this, Wilkes.
01:00:53Dr. Christo said not to get him excited.
01:00:56You know what that pillar case means.
01:00:58That's all right, Trent. We know you don't have it.
01:01:01Thank you, sir.
01:01:02Come on, Lloyd.
01:01:07He does that every day.
01:01:09He's reaching out for his nerves.
01:01:11Friend of yours?
01:01:12No. He's a nigger lover.
01:01:14Didn't make his kids spit on the blackboard.
01:01:16Got punished and that's why he's in the catatonic stupor.
01:01:18Watch this.
01:01:22Now he's a statue of liberty.
01:01:24What are you doing here?
01:01:25Visiting a friend.
01:01:26So am I, friend. So am I.
01:01:28The hole is for dangerous and troublesome people.
01:01:31They put me in by mistake.
01:01:32So I heard.
01:01:33No, you didn't. I just told you.
01:01:35That's right.
01:01:36You know why you're shining up to me?
01:01:38You want to carry my sign.
01:01:39No, I don't.
01:01:40Calling me a liar?
01:01:41No.
01:01:42Go make your own sign and carry it.
01:01:44You coming to the meeting?
01:01:45What meeting?
01:01:51I forgot.
01:01:54Do you know the conductor of the State Symphony Orchestra?
01:01:57No.
01:01:58I do.
01:01:59He comes here now and then as guest conductor of our own hospital band.
01:02:02I like him, but he's mixed up.
01:02:05How do you mean?
01:02:06He permits a black boy to play with white musicians.
01:02:09Imagine, a black boy.
01:02:13Well, they're all writers, entertainers, but...
01:02:20Let's get him before he marries my daughter.
01:02:27Come on, snap out of it.
01:02:32Come on.
01:02:35Break it up.
01:02:36No trouble.
01:02:37No trouble?
01:02:38What are you hunching up now?
01:02:39He's not hunching up.
01:02:40I'm talking to him.
01:02:41Leave him alone.
01:02:43Is everything all right, Trent?
01:02:45Yes, sir.
01:02:46No trouble now, Trent. Promise?
01:02:49Yes, sir.
01:02:52Let's check the back ward.
01:02:54Come on, boy.
01:02:55Thank you.
01:03:02Thank you, friend.
01:03:04It's all right, friend.
01:03:13Have you ever been on the Mississippi?
01:03:16No.
01:03:18Would you like to watch the paddle boats go up and down the river?
01:03:22I'd like that.
01:03:24Yeah, I'd like that.
01:03:25I know the captain.
01:03:30Mark Twain's a friend of mine. Come on.
01:03:33Mark Twain's a friend of mine.
01:04:03I like this trip.
01:04:05So do I.
01:04:22What's that?
01:04:24The sign of the invisible empire.
01:04:27That's a cyclos.
01:04:29From the Greek word kouklos.
01:04:31Means circle.
01:04:34This baptizes a new organization.
01:04:37The Kou Klux.
01:04:39Sounds good.
01:04:41No.
01:04:44Kou Klux Klan.
01:04:47Sounds more mysterious, more menacing, more alliterative.
01:04:50Kou Klux Klan. Say it.
01:04:53Kou Klux Klan.
01:04:54KKK.
01:04:55KKK.
01:04:56It'll catch on quick.
01:04:57It'll drive those carpetbaggers back north.
01:05:00Scare the hell out of them.
01:05:01Tar them, feather them, hang them, burn them.
01:05:06Who are you?
01:05:07Your friend.
01:05:08I don't know you.
01:05:09I got here firstest.
01:05:10We're the mostest men.
01:05:12General Forrest.
01:05:14Nathan Bedford Forrest.
01:05:19General.
01:05:21You going around taking credit for founding the KKK.
01:05:25I'm the founder.
01:05:27I'm the grand wizard.
01:05:28What's our code word?
01:05:29Secrecy.
01:05:32General.
01:05:34If Christ walked the streets of my hometown, he'd be horrified.
01:05:39You've never seen so many black people
01:05:42covering up our schools and buses and cafes and washrooms.
01:05:50I'm for pure Americanism.
01:05:53White supremacy.
01:05:56Listen to me, Americans.
01:05:58America for Americans.
01:06:01We got to throw rocks and hurl bombs.
01:06:05Black bombs for black foreigners.
01:06:09So they like hot music, do they?
01:06:13Well, we'll give them a crescendo they'll never forget.
01:06:17Burn that freedom bus.
01:06:19Burn those freedom riders.
01:06:21Burn any man who serves them at a lunch counter.
01:06:23Burn every dirty nigger-loving pocketbook integrationist.
01:06:28Collect a lot of blackjacks and good long lengths of pipe.
01:06:33And show those rabble-rousers they can't breathe our white air
01:06:37and go to school with our white children.
01:06:41We'll get some inflammable liquid and pour it on them.
01:06:44We'll pour it on their homes and burn them.
01:06:46Pour it on their pickaninnies and set them on fire.
01:06:49Call out the members of the White Citizens Council.
01:06:51Call out the KKK.
01:06:53Yes, we'll sponsor the Africans, no?
01:06:56Get rid of the big black mother, son and daughter.
01:06:59America for Americans.
01:07:02America for Americans.
01:07:06Keep our schools white.
01:07:08Keep them white. That's right. Keep them white.
01:07:10I'm against Catholics.
01:07:11Hallelujah, man.

01:08:29Wednesday, August 30th, 1954.
01:08:38Wednesday, August 30th, 1954.
01:08:42The U.S. Supreme Court decreed the nation's schools must be racially desegregated with all deliberate speed.
01:08:48I'm a boy in the Amazon jungle.
01:08:50A brown boy, not a black boy.
01:08:52Someone is scraping my thigh with the teeth of the piranha fish to change my blood to white blood.
01:08:57I'm a boy in the Amazon jungle.

01:09:01And someone is scraping my thigh with the teeth of the piranha fish to change my blood to white blood.
01:09:06August 30th, 1954.
01:09:08The U.S. Supreme Court decreed a ceremonial dance to be racially desegregated with all deliberate speed.
01:09:14Wednesday, August 30th, 1954.
01:09:17The U.S. Supreme Court decreed a ceremonial dance to be racially desegregated with all deliberate speed.
01:09:22The KKK, run, run.
01:09:26Run for your life, Schmitt.
01:09:27I can't see his face.
01:09:28Here comes the KKK, run, run.
01:09:31Run for your life, Schmitt.
01:09:32I can't see his face.
01:09:33I can't see his face.
01:09:34Here comes the KKK, run, run.
01:09:37I can't see his face.
01:09:38I can't see his face.
01:09:40Run, Schmitt.
01:09:41Run.
01:09:42Run through it! Run! Run! Run! Run!
01:09:55Always in color.
01:09:58It's that same nightmare, always in color.
01:10:03It's strange how I always get my mind back after that dream.
01:10:13What's your name?
01:10:15Johnny Barrett.
01:10:19I know all about that trouble you had in that southern university, Trent.
01:10:23You don't sound sick to me.
01:10:25We were in a race riot.
01:10:27You leading and me trying to save your neck.
01:10:30So you knew I was a guinea pig in a classroom?
01:10:34The whole country went to school with you every day, Trent.
01:10:39I failed.
01:10:42A lot of people were counting on you.
01:10:45Oh, I wish I'd had the guts to have stuck it out.
01:10:51I was brought up to have pride in my country.
01:10:54Call it the spray decor, it's inside me. I love it.
01:10:58It's even a blessing to love my country, even when it gives me ulcers.
01:11:04And those ulcers will stop.
01:11:07Today all schools must get an education before being allowed to open their doors.
01:11:15Do you know who killed Sloan that put your knife in the kitchen?
01:11:19I can't blame the students.
01:11:22They were brought up to hate the color of my skin.
01:11:25It's their blueprint for delinquents, the birth of lynchings,
01:11:30the disease carried to those yet unborn.
01:11:34Those poor, sick children are taught to depend on their parents' claws
01:11:41instead of their love.
01:11:44And the irony of it is that many Negroes are mulatto,
01:11:49and integration is well established down south.
01:11:55Remember Sloan who was killed in the kitchen with a butcher knife?
01:11:59I remember the first day I went to school.
01:12:02A woman held up her child so he could reach out and beat me with his little fist.
01:12:08Sure, I remember Sloan.
01:12:11What was the name of the doctor that did it?
01:12:13It wasn't a doctor, it was an attendant.
01:12:17I even had a private teacher to help me to make sure the university wouldn't flunk me.
01:12:23Do you know his name?
01:12:25Of course. I saw him kill Sloan, didn't I?
01:12:29Did you know that my house was attacked by night-riding shotgunners?
01:12:32Would you tell me his name?
01:12:34Sure.
01:12:38You know, if I hadn't quit school, I'd have gotten very, very sick.
01:12:47Tell me his name!
01:12:49Chip that nigger!
01:12:51He's not going to school with my daughter.
01:12:54First the classrooms, then the school dances, you know what after that.
01:12:57Trent, go to your own home. Go to your own school, nigger.
01:13:01Go to your own school, go to your own black schools, nigger.
01:13:03Trent, go to your own black school.
01:13:05Trent, I'm for pure Americanism.
01:13:08White supremacy!
01:13:09Listen to me!
01:13:10I'm for pure Americanism!
01:13:11White supremacy!
01:13:12Get that freedom bus!
01:13:14Turn that freedom bus!
01:13:15Turn the freedom bus!
01:13:17Shut up!
01:13:19Trent, shut up!
01:13:21Shut up!
01:13:22I said shut up!
01:13:39Is it in time over?
01:13:41That close. I was that close to getting the killer's real name and boom!
01:13:44He went nuts again. Right back to the hole.
01:13:48But there's still Bowdoin.
01:13:53I'll reach him. I'll get to him and this time I'm not going to waste one of his sane moments.
01:13:58I'm going to ask him right out. All about the murder. Boom! I'll get the answer.
01:14:05You realize, Kathy, I'm sitting right on top of the story.
01:14:09You all right, Kathy?
01:14:11Johnny.
01:14:17Don't ever do that! Don't you ever kiss me like that again!
01:14:21What?
01:14:23You know what I mean.
01:14:25No, I don't know what you mean, Johnny. You tell me.
01:14:28What do you mean I should never kiss you again like that?
01:14:31I don't know what you mean.
01:14:33What do you mean, Johnny? You tell me!
01:14:35What do you mean I should never kiss you again like that?
01:14:38What's the matter? What is it, Johnny? Tell me!
01:14:40You're exciting the other bitch with my shotty!
01:14:42Johnny!
01:14:43Tell me what you mean! Tell me!
01:14:50What's the matter with her?
01:14:59Your wand on the phone, Kathy. Mr. Swanson.
01:15:03Kathy? Didn't you hear me? Mr. Swanson's on the phone.
01:15:34Yes?
01:15:36You went to the hospital today, huh?
01:15:38Dr. Christo sent for me.
01:15:40Why did he send for you?
01:15:42Because he wanted my permission...
01:15:45to give Johnny electric shock treatments.
01:15:48Have you lost your marbles?
01:15:50Johnny can't take that kind of punishment.
01:15:52He'll crack. They'll find out he's a fake.
01:15:54I hope they do.
01:15:57But it won't be me who'll expose him. He'll expose himself.
01:16:00Well, you should have refused the electric shock.
01:16:03After all, he knows the killer is an attendant...
01:16:05and that he's bound to find out his identity from Bowdoin...
01:16:08at the rate he's going.
01:16:10At the rate he's going?
01:16:13I don't know if you'll know his own identity.
01:16:16What are you talking about?
01:16:21He's beginning to think...
01:16:26I'm really his daughter.
01:16:28I'm really his sister.
01:16:58Oh, my God!
01:17:07Don't cut me!
01:17:19What's the matter with my voice?
01:17:23Why can't I talk?
01:17:27What is it, John?
01:17:29Why can't I talk?
01:17:33I'll try again.
01:17:35Fine. I'm fine.
01:17:40Was there anything wrong a moment ago?
01:17:43No.
01:17:45You're not holding anything back from me, are you, John?
01:17:48No, sir.
01:17:50Think another shock treatment might help?
01:17:53Not unless you strap me in a chair...
01:17:55and throw the switch yourself all the way.
01:17:57I've learned my lesson, believe me.
01:18:00No more race riots in the corridor, huh?
01:18:03The way I feel now, a midget could whip me.
01:18:07All right, John.
01:18:09You stretch your legs in the street during make-friends hour.
01:18:16I beat them all.
01:18:19They didn't learn a thing.
01:18:24Hey.
01:18:28What happened then?
01:18:31Why did I lose my power of speech?
01:18:37What happened to my voice?
01:18:54Witness number three, Dr. Bowden...
01:18:56American physicist, Nobel Prize winner...
01:18:58worked on the atom bomb, the H-bomb.
01:19:00The most brilliant scientist alive today.
01:19:03Went insane working on nuclear fission...
01:19:05missiles and rockets to the moon.
01:19:07Hobby, drawing.
01:19:09Now has the mentality of a child of six.
01:19:13Hello.
01:19:15Hello.
01:19:17You been away?
01:19:19We played games.
01:19:21You want to play with me?
01:19:23Mm-hmm.
01:19:25Good.
01:19:27We'll play hide-and-seek.
01:19:29I'd like that.
01:19:31All right. You hide your eyes and count to ten.
01:19:33Okay.
01:19:36One, two, three.
01:19:40One, two, three, four...
01:19:43five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
01:19:57Now, I wonder where he could be hiding.
01:20:10Yes.
01:20:12Yes.
01:20:14Keep it up, John.
01:20:16Maybe you can help him. We can't.
01:20:26All the fun we had.
01:20:29All the fun we had.
01:20:32All the fun we had.
01:20:35All the fun we had.
01:20:38All by myself.
01:20:40Come in, Lloyd. Just fine, isn't he?
01:20:42Good.
01:20:47Hi. Guess what?
01:20:49I got Dr. Bowden making a portrait of me.
01:20:51It's really a professional job.
01:20:53He was a wonderful artist at one time, you know.
01:20:55Einstein's hobby was the fiddle...
01:20:57and Bowden's hobby was drawing.
01:21:00Still has the mind of a child, but his hand...
01:21:03his hand is a stroke of an adult.
01:21:06Imagine me here joining...
01:21:08giving therapeutic treatments to Dr. Bowden.
01:21:12Oh, you look so much better than you did the last time.
01:21:15Oh, you tell Swanee that Bowden's apt to snap back to sanity...
01:21:17at any moment, and when that happens...
01:21:19I'll crack that jigsaw.
01:21:21What about my perjury?
01:21:23Dr. Crystal would be delighted. Don't you see, Kathy?
01:21:27The killer could score another victim if he's not exposed.
01:21:30And the judge will understand why you lied.
01:21:37Ha, ha, ha.
01:21:47Dr. Bowden wanted...
01:21:53Dr. Bowden wanted...
01:21:55Dr. Bowden wanted...
01:21:57Dr. Bowden wanted...
01:22:04Dr. Bowden wanted at the Pentagon...
01:22:06Dr. Bowden wanted at National Aeronautics and Space Administration...
01:22:09Dr. Bowden wanted at Newfoundland...
01:22:17Dr. Bowden wanted...
01:22:19Dr. Bowden wanted...
01:22:23Dr. Bowden wanted at National Aeronautics and Space Administration...
01:22:26Dr. Bowden wanted at Newfoundland...
01:22:28Dr. Bowden wanted at Newfoundland...
01:22:30Dr. Bowden wanted at Newfoundland...
01:22:32Not again.
01:22:35Rockets were fired off Newfoundland in 1953.
01:22:38I detected the first hint of the radiation, Bill, didn't I?
01:22:43Leave me alone. I'm through.
01:22:45He's rational.
01:22:50Hey, not now.
01:22:53Oh, God, don't let me lose my voice now.
01:22:58Hold still, John. You're moving too much.
01:23:03You know, John,
01:23:05we've become too sophisticated in the art of death.
01:23:09Please, please, let me ask him.
01:23:12I've got to ask him.
01:23:16There's a sense of doom and crises.
01:23:20I'll write the question.
01:23:22No, no, it's like we're snapping back in childhood.
01:23:24I've got to get my voice back.
01:23:29We have too many intellectuals who are afraid to use the pistol of common sense.
01:23:35Don't panic.
01:23:38John, how can I finish your portrait when you keep moving around?
01:23:41Don't panic now. You can hear your voice came back in the war, didn't it?
01:23:45Don't panic. It'll come.
01:23:48Ah.
01:23:50I'm getting it.
01:23:52Yes, my boy.
01:23:54I got fed up with man taking a daily hammer-and-sickle-coated pill of venom.
01:24:00If I keep saying it over and over and over in my mind,
01:24:03words will have to jump out of my mouth.
01:24:06Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?
01:24:09I'm a pure scientist.
01:24:11Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?
01:24:13I'm a pure scientist.
01:24:15Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?
01:24:17Let the Russians claim bigger satellites.
01:24:19Now, they're the first to discover the mating habits of seahorses.
01:24:25Must we then race them to discover the inner structure of a grasshopper's brain?
01:24:30Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?
01:24:34We should take advantage of our ignorance and quit living like tigers.
01:24:38Tigers in bomb shelters instead of homes.
01:24:42Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?
01:24:44Today, with all this talk of the panic button, we're right on the brink of disaster.
01:24:49Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?
01:24:52Today, everybody's giving the human race two weeks to get out.
01:24:56Now, I cannot live with a two-week notice.
01:25:00Well, so I quit living.
01:25:03Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?
01:25:07Oh, yes.
01:25:09Yes, I remember Sloan.
01:25:13You know, for an insane man, he had morals.
01:25:17I was down in the kitchen with two friends, and we were under this table.
01:25:21Who killed him?
01:25:23And we saw Sloan confront this attendant.
01:25:26What was his name?
01:25:28And Sloan threatened to expose him to Dr. Christo.
01:25:32Do you know why we're taking sexual advantage of feeble-minded women in the ladies' ward?
01:25:40Who killed Sloan?
01:25:42Wilkes.
01:25:43Wilkes.
01:25:44I've broken the story.
01:25:46Thank God.
01:25:48Take a look, John. It's perfect likeness.
01:25:54What's that?
01:25:57A portrait, of course.
01:25:58You must be crazy. That's not me.
01:26:01I only draw what I see, John.
01:26:09That's not me!
01:26:11I don't want to play no more.
01:26:14Let go of me!
01:26:16Let go of me!
01:26:18Let go of me!
01:26:20Let go of me!
01:26:22Let go!
01:26:24Let go of me!
01:26:26Let go!
01:26:28Let go of me!
01:26:30Let go of me!
01:26:32Let go!
01:26:34Let go!
01:26:36Let go of me!
01:26:38Let go of me!
01:26:40Let go of me!
01:26:42Let go of me!
01:26:44Let go of me!
01:26:46Let go of me!
01:26:48Let go of me!
01:26:50Let go of me!
01:26:52Let go of me!
01:26:54Let go of me!
01:26:56Let go of me!
01:26:58Let go of me!
01:27:00Let go of me!
01:27:02Let go of me!
01:27:04Let go of me!
01:27:06Let go of me!
01:27:08Let go of me!
01:27:10So you call the paper and tell Swanee that I know.
01:27:13I know who the killer is.
01:27:15It's Dr. Christo.
01:27:18No.
01:27:20It's Kathy.
01:27:22No.
01:27:24I killed Sloan.
01:27:26Yeah, I killed Sloan.
01:27:29I killed him.
01:27:31Oaks.
01:27:32Yes, sir?
01:27:34Keep him under restraint...
01:27:37...until further orders.
01:27:51Are you sure you killed Sloan?
01:27:53Sure, I'm sure.
01:27:56No.
01:27:58No.
01:27:59Kathy...
01:28:01Kathy killed Sloan.
01:28:03Why are you interested in Sloan?
01:28:05Oaks killed him?
01:28:07Who told you I killed him?
01:28:09Dr. Christo.
01:28:11No.
01:28:13Kathy did.
01:28:16Kathy killed him.
01:28:19Kathy killed Sloan.
01:28:23Kathy did it.
01:28:28Kathy killed Sloan.
01:28:32Why should Kathy kill him?
01:28:53Somebody do something about my head!
01:28:56My head!
01:29:02My head!
01:29:15Why aren't you taking a little walk in the street?
01:29:26With these on?
01:29:28What's wrong with them?
01:29:29It's embarrassing.
01:29:30That's a good sign.
01:29:31It's gone. I lost it in the hole.
01:29:33You know who I am?
01:29:34Dr. Christo.
01:29:35That's Mr. Wilkes, Mr. Lloyd, and I'm a different man.
01:29:39Who killed Sloan?
01:29:41I wish I could remember the name.
01:29:45Watch it now.
01:29:47This may be a trap.
01:29:49Two attendants here.
01:29:51Could be one of them.
01:29:52Who?
01:29:53Sloan.
01:29:55Who's Sloan?
01:29:59Remove it.
01:30:04I think it's time you got a little exercise, John.
01:30:07Thank you, doctor.
01:30:09Wilkes, relieve Kellogg and Hydro.
01:30:13Yes, sir.
01:30:16I think you're making progress, John.
01:30:18Real progress.
01:30:23He gave me the name of the killer.
01:30:25He named the killer, and I can't remember.
01:30:29I just don't understand.
01:30:32He handed the story to me right on the platter.
01:30:35Right on the platter.
01:30:37I don't understand.
01:30:39I don't understand.
01:30:42He handed the story to me right on the platter.
01:30:45Right on the platter.
01:30:46He gave me the name.
01:30:47I've got to...
01:30:48Why can't I think of a name?
01:30:51Name!
01:30:52I can't remember the name of the killer!
01:31:13Do you feel that?
01:31:15What?
01:31:17It's beginning to rain.
01:31:20I like the rain.
01:31:42I like the rain.
01:32:12I like the rain.
01:32:42I like the rain.
01:33:12Wow!
01:33:43That was such a sour note, John.
01:33:47You were way off key.
01:34:13I remember.
01:34:14Wilkes.
01:34:15Wilkes!
01:34:17Crystal, you've got to listen to me.
01:34:19You've got to let me out of here, please.
01:34:21Call my paper.
01:34:22Talk to Swanee.
01:34:23He'll tell you why I'm here.
01:34:24Now, John, don't start that again.
01:34:26Wilkes killed Sloan.
01:34:27I swear it.
01:34:28Get Wilkes.
01:34:29I can prove it.
01:34:30I thought you killed him, John.
01:34:31Doctor, I'm not nuts!
01:34:33I'm here for the paper!
01:34:34I'm a plant!
01:34:36I'm here for the paper!
01:34:38I'm a plant!
01:34:40Now, forget all about Sloan, huh?
01:34:43Why don't you keep Pagliacci company?
01:34:45Have him sing La Boheme for you.
01:34:47Yes, sir.
01:34:54Where did Crystal send Wilkes?
01:34:57Where?
01:34:58I remember.
01:34:59Hydra.
01:35:00Hydra therapy.
01:35:05Hydra therapy.
01:35:07Hydra therapy.
01:35:37Oh!
01:36:07Ah!
01:36:10Ah!
01:36:14Ah!
01:36:23Ah!
01:36:27Ah!
01:36:38Ah!
01:36:50Oh!
01:36:51La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
01:36:53La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
01:36:56Who killed Sloan?
01:36:59Louder, or I'll tear your ears off!
01:37:01Louder, or I'll tear your ears off!
01:37:05Who killed Sloan?
01:37:10Who killed Sloan?
01:37:15Who killed Sloan?
01:37:18Who killed Sloan?
01:37:24Tell me!
01:37:25I killed Sloan!
01:37:36Ah!
01:37:37Ah!
01:37:44Now, if you don't mind,
01:37:47I'd like you to call my paper
01:37:50and ask Swanee to confirm that I was a plant here.
01:37:54That is a load off my mind, Doctor.
01:37:56He was sane enough to write that story.
01:37:59He's been sane for weeks.
01:38:01Don't you stand there and tell me
01:38:03that there's nothing you can do for him.
01:38:05Why?
01:38:08Why is he like that?
01:38:12Oh, God in heaven.
01:38:14Well, a man can't tamper with the mind
01:38:16and live in a mental hospital
01:38:18and subject himself to all kinds of tests
01:38:20and expect to come out of it sane.
01:38:22John is a catatonic schizophrenic.
01:38:28What a tragedy.
01:38:31An insane mute will win the Pulitzer Prize.
01:38:37He is not insane!
01:38:46John,
01:38:49hold out your hand.
01:38:56Johnny!
01:38:59Johnny!
01:39:01Johnny, son.
01:39:07Johnny.
01:39:16Oh!
01:39:20Oh!
01:39:24Oh, Johnny.
01:39:29Johnny, it's me.
01:39:31It's Kathy, Johnny.
01:39:34Johnny.
01:39:40Johnny, it's Kathy, it's me.
01:39:50No, no, no, no.
01:39:55Oh, Johnny, no.
