00:04:00I'm going to get you out of here
00:04:30I'm going to get you out of here
00:05:00I'm going to get you out of here
00:05:30I'm going to get you out of here
00:05:35I'm going to get you out of here
00:05:40I'm going to get you out of here
00:05:45I'm going to get you out of here
00:05:50I'm going to get you out of here
00:05:55I'm going to get you out of here
00:06:00I'm going to get you out of here
00:06:05I'm going to get you out of here

00:06:40I'm going to get you out of here
00:06:45I'm going to get you out of here
00:06:50I'm going to get you out of here
00:07:12When was verse with me
00:07:14Salem, come to supper.
00:07:18Salem.
00:07:21Salem, come to supper.
00:07:25Yes, Emmy.
00:07:27When Salem was here...
00:07:29Well, at least he was a man.
00:07:31He may have gotten drunk, but he ran this farm.
00:07:33He worked out there.
00:07:35Didn't just sit around in his study,
00:07:37reading medical pamphlets, waiting for the phone to ring.
00:07:41This is none of your business, Emmy.
00:07:43Anton is a doctor, not a farmer.
00:07:46And so now I'm the maid.
00:07:48Be reasonable.
00:07:49Emmy.
00:07:50End of business.
00:07:51I don't understand what you think I'm doing.
00:07:54I don't know what you're saying.
00:07:59Do you use the day, change the sheets, do the laundry,
00:08:02scrub the floors?
00:08:04Yes, I do.
00:08:05And you'll have enough money to be a maid.
00:08:10I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:12I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:15I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:17I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:20I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:25I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:27I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:30I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:32I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:35I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:37I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:40I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:42I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:45I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:47I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:50I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:52I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:55I don't know what you're talking about.
00:08:57I don't know what you're talking about.
00:09:00I don't know what you're talking about.
00:09:02I don't know what you're talking about.
00:09:05I don't know what you're talking about.
00:09:07I don't know what you're talking about.
00:09:37Probably you can get a... get a hand...
00:10:05That might be helpful.
00:10:11It's no use. Emmy will never agree to sell the farm.
00:10:14If I could have got the cash two years ago, we would be in the city now.
00:10:19I'm a good doctor. I was before I came out here.
00:10:22What you mean is, before you married me.
00:10:25That's not it.
00:10:34I'm sorry.
00:11:04I'm sorry.
00:11:34I'm sorry.
00:12:04I'm sorry.
00:12:34I'm sorry.
00:12:52Salem!
00:12:54But how did you... you're in... I thought...
00:12:57I've been thinking about you, Britt.
00:13:04I've been thinking about you for a long time.
00:13:35Dr. Jenks?
00:13:40Britt, she's what?
00:13:43Oh, no, Mr. Torrance. Come on, come on.
00:13:54Oh, I'll be right over.
00:13:56I'll be right over.
00:13:58I'll be right over.
00:14:00I'll be right over.
00:14:02Oh, I'll be right over.
00:14:33This way. The back bedroom.
00:14:36All right.
00:14:38Mrs. Torrance?
00:15:02Do you mind stepping out while I examine her?
00:15:33Well, what was it?
00:15:41She was strangled.
00:15:43Strangled? But why?
00:15:46Why would anyone want to kill our Britt?
00:15:49Can't have been dead very long.
00:15:51Well, we'd better take care of your wife.
00:15:56And then let the police know.
00:16:03What are all those ties for?
00:16:05I don't know.
00:16:09I just don't know.
00:16:12Somebody been fooling with your bag?
00:16:16Emmie's been telling me to get my ties cleaned and...
00:16:22Tandy, but don't keep forgetting.
00:16:24That woman.
00:16:26She always has to have her way.
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:53Ah, Inspector.
00:16:55Found anything?
00:16:57Strangulation.
00:16:58Manual?
00:17:00No.
00:17:03These regular contusions rule out bare hands.
00:17:09A stocking, soft cord, or something like that, I'd say.
00:17:15Was she assaulted?
00:17:17No.
00:17:18Did she put up a fight?
00:17:20Hard to say. She was a strong girl.
00:17:23What's the smell?
00:17:25It's this chest rub she's been using.
00:17:28One of the popular brands, oil of peppermint.
00:17:32Menthol, in fact.
00:17:34That's it.
00:17:38Very funny.
00:17:40Very funny trick.
00:17:42What are you talking about?
00:17:44These.
00:17:48Why put them in my bag?
00:17:51I don't know what you're talking about.
00:17:54Maybe Emmie does.
00:17:56Emmie. Emmie, dear!
00:17:58So you don't know anything about my instruments?
00:18:01You didn't take them out of my bag and stick these in their place?
00:18:04I did not.
00:18:06Are you insane?
00:18:08No, but I'm sure that someone in this house is trying to make it look that way.
00:18:14Emmie!
00:18:19So it's Emmie.
00:18:20It's Emmie, isn't it?
00:18:22She's found out.
00:18:25How could she?
00:18:29She's acted strangely for a long time.
00:18:31She's watching everything, every move.
00:18:34She keeps bringing up Salem.
00:18:36Salem this, Salem that, Salem, Salem, Salem.
00:18:38Anton, you're upset.
00:18:41Calm down.
00:18:43Emmie couldn't know.
00:18:45And even if she did, she couldn't do anything about it.
00:18:48She could.
00:18:51Anton, a drunken farmhand was found killed in the yard.
00:18:56Salem was found guilty.
00:18:58The police were satisfied then and no story of Emmie's is going to change that.
00:19:04The parrot could change that.
00:19:06Parrot?
00:19:07The parrot saw it all and he heard you.
00:19:10What if he said, hit him, Anton, hit him, Anton?
00:19:14No one pays attention to what the parrot says.
00:19:17Emmie would pay good attention to that and make sure that the police did too.
00:19:21No.
00:19:24Emmie can't hurt us now.
00:19:26Oh, yes, she could and she will try.
00:19:29Why take my instruments?
00:19:31What use has she for the morphine?
00:19:33Morphine?
00:19:34Yes, three ampoules of morphine taken out of my bag.
00:19:36Enough to kill a man and a hypodermic.
00:19:41That's easy to find out.
00:19:45Veloska.
00:20:00If she is asleep, we could search her room.
00:20:44VELOSKA
00:21:14It's time.
00:21:45VELOSKA
00:21:54Emmie?
00:21:56VELOSKA
00:22:13It's your paperweight.
00:22:17Yes.
00:22:26Yes.
00:22:35Esther.
00:22:37Esther!
00:22:40Esther!
00:22:44Esther!
00:22:51Get me the police.
00:22:52Esther!
00:22:53Open the door.
00:22:54Esther!
00:22:57Esther!
00:22:59Open the door!
00:23:02Hit him, Anton! Hit him! Hit him!
00:23:04I knew it.
00:23:06Hit him, Anton!
00:23:08I knew you would say it.
00:23:12Shut up! Shut up, you little bitch!
00:23:24Shut up!
00:23:39Shut up!
00:23:41Shut up!
00:23:43Shut up!
00:23:54Shut up!
00:24:18Esther!
00:24:20Esther!
00:24:22Esther!
00:24:52Esther!
00:25:08Anton.
00:25:10Anton.
00:25:22Anton.
00:25:45Anton.
00:25:47What's the matter?
00:25:49Don't.
00:25:51Salem killed Emmie.
00:25:54He didn't touch you? He didn't hurt you?
00:25:58Where has he gone?
00:26:00Come here.
00:26:02Come.
00:26:04Sit down. Sit down here.
00:26:06Is he here?
00:26:09He killed Emmie.
00:26:11He killed Emmie.
00:26:13It's no use, Anton. Look at this room.
00:26:15You did it. You completely lost your mind.
00:26:18Answer me. Salem was in this room.
00:26:20He killed Emmie.
00:26:35Give me the asylum.
00:26:48I said...
00:26:51No, you have to understand what I'm saying.
00:26:54Pardon me.
00:27:06Esther!
00:27:08Salem got back into the asylum.
00:27:10He got back in.
00:27:12What else did you expect?
00:27:14But if he can get out of such a place, why...
00:27:16Then go back.
00:27:18Salem was here.
00:27:20You saw him.
00:27:22You'd better stick to that little story.
00:27:24It's your only defense.
00:27:26Defense? What do you mean?
00:27:28I don't need to defend myself.
00:27:30Don't... Don't you understand what I'm saying?
00:27:32Salem was in this house and he killed Emmie?
00:27:47Come in. Come in, please.
00:27:49It's... It's Emmie, my sister-in-law.
00:27:51Where is she?
00:27:53She's up here in her room.
00:27:57We found her together.
00:27:59My wife, Mrs. Jenks.
00:28:01She went down to film.
00:28:03Then I saw Salem hiding in the cupboard.
00:28:06Almost naked.
00:28:12Right here was standing when I saw her.
00:28:15Right here was standing when I saw him.
00:28:22Quite mad. Quite mad to kill an innocent woman.
00:28:42Carl.
00:28:44Did you look her over, doctor?
00:28:46Why, no. I saw she was...
00:28:48We didn't think it wise to touch anything.
00:28:52Hit with considerable violence, no motive.
00:28:55Has to be a maniac.
00:28:57It must have been a great shock to you both to discover her like that.
00:29:01Yes, of course.
00:29:03And Salem was hiding in this cupboard, you say?
00:29:09No, please.
00:29:12This is my wife's bedroom.
00:29:17This is my study.
00:29:19Would you mind? No, no, of course. Go ahead.
00:29:27Ah, the famous ties.
00:29:30The famous?
00:29:32Oh, no, no. I see.
00:29:34Torrance has told you about them.
00:29:36So many things have happened that I...
00:29:39quite forgot to mention, but...
00:29:42my bag was rifled and...
00:29:45a handful of ties stuffed inside.
00:29:48Would you explain that as the action of a sane man?
00:30:00They look clean enough to me.
00:30:02I'm sorry? Clean?
00:30:04Oh, no, no. You misunderstood me, inspector.
00:30:08I had to invent the story for Mr. Torrance.
00:30:11After all, everything was so embarrassing.
00:30:13I understand.
00:30:15Ties in a medical bag.
00:30:17It is embarrassing.
00:30:20Well, I've seen enough.
00:30:22Let's find my assistant and we'll be off.
00:30:25Esther?
00:30:27The inspector is leaving now.
00:30:33I won't trouble you anymore tonight.
00:30:36The business of the ties reminds me.
00:30:39It's the morphine and the hypodermic that's important.
00:30:43And my instruments.
00:30:45What happened to them?
00:30:47Stolen. Stolen out of my bag.
00:30:49What could he have done with them?
00:30:52Never mind. We'll check that.
00:30:54Try and find them.
00:31:00The police doctor and the ambulance will be here in a minute.
00:31:03Good night, Mrs. Jenks.
00:31:05Try and get some rest.
00:31:08Thank you, inspector. Good night.
00:31:13I think I handled that rather well.
00:31:16You talk too much.
00:31:31What's that, sir?
00:31:34One of Dr. Jenks' ties.
00:31:42Menthol.
00:31:49It checks out.
00:31:51Traces of the same mentholated substances on the Torrance's girl's neck.
00:31:57No fingerprints.
00:31:59This material doesn't take any, the lab said.
00:32:02Uh...
00:32:08Excuse me, sir. I can't understand why you didn't arrest the doctor.
00:32:12He is our man. It's as clear as a bell.
00:32:14You're quite sure of that, aren't you, Carl?
00:32:17Yes. Well, yes.
00:32:20Obviously, the tie is the murder weapon.
00:32:23Well, doesn't it all point to Dr. Jenks?
00:32:26Yes, it does, yes. Very clearly.
00:32:29The strangest thing of all is his story about Salem...
00:32:32...suddenly turning up in the middle of the night and killing his own sister.
00:32:36The attendants at the asylum had checked and, of course, Salem hadn't gotten out.
00:32:40On top of that, getting back in again and neatly locking himself in his cell.
00:32:45Now, why would the doctor tell such a crazy story?
00:32:48Yes, why?
00:32:52Well, it doesn't make sense.
00:32:55Perhaps it makes...
00:32:57Perhaps it makes a little too much sense.
00:33:01How's that?
00:33:03Two murders.
00:33:05First case, strangulation, weapon, silk and tie. Belongs to Dr. Jenks.
00:33:10Second case, crushed skull, weapon, heavy paperweight. Belongs to Dr. Jenks.
00:33:17Prime suspect, Dr. Jenks.
00:33:22Too neat, too obvious.
00:33:25Case unknown.
00:33:27Possibility work of a maniac?
00:33:31Maybe.
00:33:33Maybe.
00:33:36But who is the maniac?
00:33:56Oh.
00:34:21Thank you for taking the time, Dr. Kemp.
00:34:23No trouble. But I warn you, it's quite a walk.
00:34:35Get out?
00:34:36Why, yes. Very simple.
00:34:41If he could fly.
00:34:48Do you think, Inspector, anybody could get down these walls?
00:34:51But one of them broke out about ten years ago.
00:34:55That wasn't the break, Inspector. It was suicide.
00:34:58Suicide.
00:35:20That is the occupational therapy room.
00:35:25It keeps our patients busy.
00:35:28Let's go.
00:35:58Salem is the tall one in the middle.
00:36:28Shit.
00:36:59He did all this?
00:37:02Yes, in therapy.
00:37:05A lot of imagination.
00:37:10Just like Jack and the Beanstalk up there.
00:37:17I'm afraid I'm not going to make it.
00:37:19I'm afraid I'm not going to make it.
00:37:21I'm afraid I'm not going to make it.
00:37:23I'm afraid I'm not going to make it.
00:37:25I'm afraid I'm not going to make it.
00:37:28I'm afraid I'm not going to make it.
00:37:33I'm afraid I'm not going to make it.
00:37:40Dr. Kemp.
00:37:42How could Salem get out of here?
00:37:47Yes, I thought you were going to get around to that.
00:37:50Well, it's quite simple, really.
00:37:53First, you'd have to unlock this door.
00:37:55But look, the panel opens from the outside.
00:38:01You couldn't reach through to the lock even if it were open.
00:38:04And you'd have to have a key to begin with.
00:38:06I see.
00:38:08Let's assume the door's left open.
00:38:11I don't like careless assumptions.
00:38:14Let us not base our hypotheses on my negligence.
00:38:18I've got to build on someone's carelessness.
00:38:20So whether you like it or not, I'm going to say you slipped up last night.
00:38:25I'm going to have that door open.
00:38:28Now, where would Salem go?
00:38:30Simple.
00:38:31He comes out into this corridor, and this is where he stops.
00:38:34Stay here.
00:38:45This is Dr. Kemp here.
00:38:47I'm on the top floor with the inspector.
00:38:49Please close the doors for a moment.
00:38:56Thank you.
00:39:01It's the same in every wing, every floor.
00:39:04Nine o'clock, we lock up.
00:39:05Any empty cells he might get into and force a window?
00:39:09Sorry, we've got a full house.
00:39:11And stop giving Salem the whole bunch of keys.
00:39:15I'll give you his door open, but I won't grant that he's got one pop.
00:39:20Pop?
00:39:21Night floor attendant, this wing.
00:39:23That's his office.
00:39:27Bribed. How's that?
00:39:29So Pop is bribed.
00:39:30Yes. All right.
00:39:32He's very friendly with Salem. We do play chess together.
00:39:36Let us go so far as to say that Pop has even opened the door for him.
00:39:40Now, Pop has done all he can do.
00:39:43He can't even open the gates.
00:39:46Salem is on his own.
00:39:48Remember, it's almost 100 feet to the courtyard below.
00:39:53Come on.
00:40:04Visitor for you soon enough.
00:40:11Can I be alone with him?
00:40:12Certainly. But don't get into a game of chess with him.
00:40:15You'll never escape.
00:40:17You're from the police, aren't you?
00:40:19I know why you've come.
00:40:22You're in the awkward position of trying to get information from a lunatic.
00:40:27I'm here to talk to you, just the same.
00:40:31With an eye towards reconsidering my confinement, here?
00:40:35Possibly.
00:40:39I like it here. I'm safe.
00:40:42I've got to go.
00:40:48From who?
00:40:50Myself.
00:40:52You look after a game of chess?
00:40:54I don't play.
00:40:56What do you mean, yourself?
00:40:59If I were outside, I'd kill people.
00:41:02My sister Esther and her husband.
00:41:04And how many others?
00:41:06Oh, no others.
00:41:14Amy was always kind to me.
00:41:16And generous.
00:41:18She used to send me homemade scones.
00:41:21And other things.
00:41:23I'm sorry she had to find out.
00:41:25Find out what?
00:41:30You sure you don't play chess?
00:41:32Quite sure. And I haven't got all evening, either.
00:41:35Well, neither have I.
00:41:43What were you sorry for?
00:41:45What were you sorry Amy found out?
00:41:50She found out I never did murder that farmhand.
00:41:52How do you know?
00:41:55Well, why else would Jenks kill her?
00:41:58I'm not sure he did.
00:42:01Oh, yes, you are.
00:42:03You just don't know why.
00:42:07What about the girl, Britt Torrance?
00:42:11Conscience is a terrible thing.
00:42:13Why don't we just stop amusing ourselves and say what's on our minds?
00:42:19I've kept it to myself until now, haven't I?
00:42:21Britt's dead.
00:42:23So why bring it up?
00:42:25I might be able to get you out of here.
00:42:30I said I'd kill people.
00:42:32There's no policeman in the world who could stop me.
00:42:34What about Britt?
00:42:43Miss Torrance had a charming disposition, the local person said.
00:42:46She was very popular among the neighbours.
00:42:50And her father was completely heart...
00:42:54So?
00:42:56So it would have been cruel of me to destroy her character in public.
00:43:02I'm not the public.
00:43:08I was with Britt Torrance at the time the farmhand was killed.
00:43:12Alone?
00:43:14Alone.
00:43:18She could have said that in court and you would have been proved innocent.
00:43:21Yes. I think that's the way it might have gone.
00:43:26You're a liar, Salem.
00:43:28Of course I am.
00:43:30There wasn't a finer girl around than Britt.
00:43:32I shouldn't have told you such a thing.
00:43:34But why didn't you tell the court?
00:43:37Although her father would have disowned her...
00:43:39I did hope that Britt would walk into court...
00:43:42and speak up of her own accord.
00:43:44Her failure to do so became, I say...
00:43:47well, as a revelation, a let-down.
00:43:58Besides, they'd found my axe with my fingerprints on it...
00:44:01and...
00:44:03Blood on the blade. Motives and reasons.
00:44:07Didn't I drink too much?
00:44:09Well, you must know the story, Inspector.
00:44:12I don't expect you to prove what I've just said.
00:44:15I don't expect you to get me out of here, either.
00:44:18I only hope it will give you a little food for thought.
00:44:21I understand. You expect me to believe your girlfriend...
00:44:24finally got an attack of conscience...
00:44:26went to Dr. Jenks and threatened to expose everything.
00:44:29Yes.
00:44:31Went to Dr. Jenks and threatened to expose everything.
00:44:34Something like that.
00:44:37Why should she go to Jenks and not the police?
00:44:40You're the policeman, Inspector. You tell me.
00:44:46Sorry. Didn't know you had a visitor.
00:44:48That's all right, Pop. We'll have plenty of time later.
00:44:51I'll have a present for you.
00:44:54Present?
00:44:56Yes.
00:44:58Later, then.
00:45:00It's like being back at school.
00:45:03You know what we're doing up here.
00:45:06I've had a long time to wonder about the police.
00:45:10I hope you still hold us in your esteem.
00:45:13We appreciate the patience you've shown.
00:45:30You shouldn't be sarcastic.
00:45:33I could kill you with my bare hands.
00:45:35That only put me down steps.
00:45:37Yes, this is what they do to me when I talk out of turn, Inspector.
00:45:40How does it feel? How does it feel?
00:45:42Not now. It's not going to hurt you.
00:45:44Don't struggle.
00:45:55Let me tell you something.
00:45:58I know a good deal of what happened over there last night.
00:46:01We read papers up here, you see.
00:46:03I've been thinking a lot this morning.
00:46:05So let a madman give you some intelligent advice, Inspector.
00:46:08The next man on Dr Jenks's list...
00:46:11will undoubtedly be a worthless lawyer...
00:46:14by the name of Clemens.
00:46:16Do you know what two years of thinking has told me?
00:46:19Clemens was paid to change my plea...
00:46:22because Esther and Anton wanted a conviction.
00:46:26But something has gone wrong in that house now...
00:46:29after two years of watching each other.
00:46:32They're afraid.
00:46:34Esther is telling Anton to kill everyone...
00:46:36who might bring the trial into the open again.
00:46:43And by what preposterous evidence...
00:46:45do you suppose they will arrange to prove that I have escaped from this place?
00:46:48Huh? Well, I don't know.
00:46:50But you'll believe whatever it is, and I'm not worried.
00:46:54But there's one thing I'd like to know your opinion about, Inspector.
00:46:58Do you really believe that anyone would ever return...
00:47:01to this howling prison after once getting out?
00:47:05I'd sooner be dead.
00:47:08May I get up?
00:47:10Certainly.
00:47:24Do me one favor, Inspector.
00:47:26Don't think Anton is insane. I'm the insane one.
00:47:29You shouldn't believe a word I've said.
00:48:24Mr. Clemens isn't seeing anyone at this hour.
00:48:27Will you kindly tell him it's very urgent?
00:48:30But he's ill. He's in bed with a fever.
00:48:34I'm a police inspector. It's extremely important.
00:48:37Oh. Well, all right.
00:48:40Come in.
00:48:54You can wait in here.
00:48:59In the library.
00:49:01Mrs. Hanson!
00:49:05Mrs. Hanson!
00:49:14Who in the devil's ringing the bell at this late hour?
00:49:17It's the police, sir.
00:49:20Police?
00:49:24Have you got a search warrant?
00:49:28No, sir.
00:49:30Then what gives you the right to nose through my belongings?
00:49:33Mr. Clemens, have you any reason...
00:49:36to believe someone might want to kill you?
00:49:39Of course not.
00:49:41What kind of balderdash is this?
00:49:43Is this what you got me out of bed for?
00:49:45Tell me what you want and get out.
00:49:47It has to do with a trial you're familiar with.
00:49:50The Salem case.
00:49:53The Salem murder case.
00:50:02I believe you changed Salem's plea from not guilty...
00:50:05to guilty by reason of insanity.
00:50:08Certainly. Certainly I did.
00:50:10Why?
00:50:12Because my first duty is to my client.
00:50:15Because I know the difference between prison for life...
00:50:18and experienced medical care in a mental institution.
00:50:22Have you ever visited the asylum?
00:50:24What has that got to do with it?
00:50:26Because if you had, I don't think you'd be drawing...
00:50:29such a fine distinction between the two establishments.
00:50:32What are you driving at?
00:50:34Mr. Clemens, allowing for good behavior...
00:50:37what constitutes a life sentence in prison?
00:50:4020, 25 years.
00:50:44And once a man has been certified criminally insane...
00:50:47what does that put him away for?
00:50:50Until the qualified authority...
00:50:53is convinced that his sanity has been restored.
00:50:56Which could mean never.
00:51:00Please tell me, by how much did the Jenkses...
00:51:03increase your fee for switching?
00:51:05Are you implying that I was bribed?
00:51:08Oh, I never mentioned the word.
00:51:12The Salem sister and the Torrance girl have been murdered...
00:51:16and Dr. Jenks has made accusations against Salem.
00:51:19Why on earth should Jenks want to bring up Salem's name now?
00:51:22Everybody knows he's been put away.
00:51:25Because Dr. Jenks is most anxious...
00:51:28to convince me that Salem was at his farm last night.
00:51:31Jenks said that?
00:51:33But why invent a story like that?
00:51:36I can't imagine.
00:51:39But since you had such a close understanding with him two years ago...
00:51:42it occurred to me that you might be able to...
00:51:45explain his behavior.
00:51:47How dare you!
00:51:49Get out!
00:51:51Get out!
00:51:55I really came here to warn you to take care of yourself.
00:51:59And I don't mean you're cold.
00:52:07Thank you for the present, Salem.
00:52:10It's very kind of you.
00:52:13But, well, well, well.
00:52:16That's not the strangest set of men I've ever seen.
00:52:19Salem, do you want to spoil my game?
00:52:22I can't play with all those making faces at me.
00:52:26Nonsense. So pull up your chair.
00:52:29I'm going to capture your queen tonight, Pom.
00:52:31No, you're not.
00:52:36Oh, it's getting on for nine.
00:52:38Better get closed up and play through the slot.
00:52:43I'll be back.
00:52:58Set them up while I get my stool...
00:53:00and it's my turn with the white.
00:53:12I don't know.
00:53:42Don't go moving your queen prematurely, Salem.
00:53:46I've warned you about that before.
00:53:48I want to expose her.
00:53:50I'll be back.
00:53:52I'll be back.
00:53:54I'll be back.
00:53:56I'll be back.
00:53:58I'll be back.
00:54:00I'll be back.
00:54:02I'll be back.
00:54:04I'll be back.
00:54:07I'll be back.
00:54:09I'll be back.
00:54:11I want to expose her.
00:54:13I know what I'm doing.
00:54:18Have it your own way.
00:54:26I didn't see that move.
00:54:28Then why kick up a fuss?
00:54:30Because that queen of yours keeps pointing at my knight.
00:54:33That's why.
00:54:41I can't stand these men.
00:54:43Salem, I appreciate the trouble you went to...
00:54:46but I just can't stand them.
00:54:48Why don't you get your own set, then?
00:54:51It's really too late to go changing, but...
00:54:54I just can't play with these.
00:55:11I'll be right back.
00:55:41I'll be right back.
00:56:11I'll be right back.
00:56:38That knight wasn't there before.
00:56:40Sailor, it's no good. I'm not enjoying myself.
00:56:45Because you're losing.
00:56:51It's too late anyway. It's lock-up time.
00:57:40I'm sorry.
00:58:10I'm sorry.
00:58:40I'm sorry.
00:59:10I'm sorry.
00:59:40I'm sorry.

01:08:00I'm sorry.
01:08:02I'm sorry.
01:08:04I'm sorry.
01:08:06I'm sorry.
01:08:18Just a moment, Mrs. Hanson.
01:08:23It's Mr. Clemens.
01:08:25Mrs. Hanson says he's in a bad way.
01:08:28Whatever it is, tell him I'm making no calls until after the funeral.
01:08:32It seems quite urgent.
01:08:34It might be wise.
01:08:37You should go.
01:08:39You're right.
01:08:41Tell her I'll be over right away.
01:08:47He'll be right over.
01:08:49Yes.
01:08:51Goodbye.
01:09:04Goodbye.
01:09:35You'd better forget that bird.
01:09:38It must have flown away.
01:09:40I just heard it.
01:09:42I tell you, I heard it!
01:09:44We'll look for it later, dear.
01:09:46It might be in the attic.
01:09:48Right now, I think you should get over to Clemens.
01:09:53All right.
01:10:04Goodbye.
01:10:27The police, please.
01:10:34Please.
01:10:50I don't like the sound of that.
01:10:52He's been coughing like that all day.
01:10:54Hello, Clemens.
01:10:56How long have you been like this?
01:10:58Mrs. Hansen, I want to talk to this man alone.
01:11:01Get him an extra blanket and turn up the boiler.
01:11:04This place is cold as a barn.
01:11:06Don't bother with that stuff, doctor.
01:11:08I didn't call you for doctoring.
01:11:11I've been going through some very interesting files, doctor.
01:11:15Some of the evidence and testimony
01:11:17has taken on a curious light since the death of Emmy.
01:11:21I believe you are delirious.
01:11:24In fact, I'm sure you are.
01:11:26Yes, I'm delirious.
01:11:28Just like the police inspector.
01:11:31Yes, he was here.
01:11:33And I want to know what the devil you've been telling him about me.
01:11:37What are you talking about?
01:11:39I'm talking about the murder of that farmhand two years ago.
01:11:44That's what I'm talking about.
01:11:53The murder you pinned on Salem.
01:11:56And now you have the unmitigated stupidity
01:12:00to tell the inspector you saw him in your house.
01:12:03Why, fool?
01:12:05Who do you think's going to believe that?
01:12:07I did see him. He was there.
01:12:09What do you take the inspector for, a nincompoop?
01:12:14You certainly made him suspect Salem.
01:12:17He suspects him of having information
01:12:19that could send you away for life.
01:12:22He went to the asylum, all right.
01:12:24He went there and found out a lot.
01:12:26A lot about you and your wife.
01:12:28Not about me, Jenks.
01:12:30Why? Because I've got nothing to do with it.
01:12:33Never did have.
01:12:35And now that he's making you sweat,
01:12:38you better keep your mouth shut about the way I defended Salem.
01:12:44The fee was not exorbitant.
01:12:46No...
01:12:55Be quiet now.
01:12:57I'm going to take your pulse.
01:13:03What was all the fuss about?
01:13:05Mr Clemmons is delirious.
01:13:07He's within an inch of devine pneumonia.
01:13:10He's got to stay in bed.
01:13:12Will he be all right?
01:13:14Yes, he's recovering from a coughing attack,
01:13:16and I'm going to give him a sedative.
01:13:18Bring me a glass of water, please.
01:13:20Yes.

01:14:18Thank you. Open your mouth now.
01:14:21You feel better now.
01:14:23I don't want anything. Come on.
01:14:25That's right.
01:14:28He will sleep through the night.
01:14:36You shouldn't leave the house.
01:14:38If he gets restless, give me a call.
01:14:41I will, sir.
01:14:42And come with me into the study, and I will give you a prescription.
01:14:45And tell you what to do,
01:14:47and also what I like him to eat during the next few days.

01:17:14I don't know what I'm gonna do with you.
01:17:18How did you get in here?
01:17:21I was afraid he'd come back before you came.
01:17:24I was afraid he'd come back before you came.
01:17:27You mean the doctor's gone out? Where?
01:17:30I made him go. On a call.
01:17:33It's warmer in the kitchen.
01:17:36I sent for you because there's something wrong with my husband.
01:17:53Something horribly frightening.
01:17:57I believe he's insane.
01:17:59Why do you say that, Mrs. Jenks?
01:18:02He actually believes he saw Salem.
01:18:05And you don't think he did?
01:18:07How could he?
01:18:08I know I'm afraid he's going to try to kill me.
01:18:13Here, sit down.
01:18:18Now, why should he try to kill you?
01:18:21Why should he wish to kill your sister?
01:18:25There's something about Emmy no one ever knew.
01:18:32She and Anton, I mean.
01:18:36Please go on, Mrs. Jenks.
01:18:39Emmy introduced me to Anton.
01:18:42She was always getting him over here.
01:18:46I promise you I had no idea they were planning to use me as soon as I married him.
01:18:51Use you?
01:18:53Are you suggesting there was something wrong at the trial two years ago?
01:18:58Yes.
01:18:59And what's more, I don't think Salem is insane or that he ever was insane.
01:19:09I believe that Emmy and Anton were in this kitchen doing something and that a farm hand
01:19:16came stumbling onto them and they were forced to kill him.
01:19:21I believe they moved the body and put blood on Salem's axe.
01:19:28That's a very serious accusation, Mrs. Jenks.
01:19:32Here in this kitchen.
01:19:40I mean it was scrubbed clean the night the farm hand was murdered.
01:19:48Shouldn't you have mentioned that at the trial?
01:19:51It didn't seem important at that time.
01:19:57I did ask Emmy about it.
01:20:00I remember coming in that morning, seeing the floor all scrubbed and cleaned, even under
01:20:07the stove.
01:20:09Was she upset?
01:20:10Not at all.
01:20:12She told me she hadn't been able to sleep the night before and she got up to make herself
01:20:16a cup of hot milk and she couldn't stand the sight of a dirty floor.
01:20:24Now, I wonder what they could have been up to when a farm hand barges in.
01:20:29Of course, it's only guesswork and it's pretty late in the day to comment on a dead case.
01:20:34I don't think it is dead, Inspector.
01:20:39You see, Emmy and Anton hated Salem.
01:20:45He didn't let them do anything with the property.
01:20:48He didn't care about money or running things efficiently.
01:20:51And Anton did.
01:20:54Salem was never practical.
01:20:57He just sat and drank, and because he was in control, all we could do was watch the
01:21:02profits go down the drain.
01:21:06Emmy didn't like it, and believe me, I didn't like it either, but Emmy took it to heart.
01:21:12She was a grasping woman, always arguing with Salem about selling this place while prices
01:21:19were high.
01:21:22Let's get back to this kitchen.
01:21:24If you ask me, somebody's been at this floor with a hatchet and it looks burned.
01:21:29Exactly.
01:21:31Emmy handled the insurance.
01:21:34I see.
01:21:35They intended to start a fire in here, burn the place down and collect.
01:21:40The farm hand came in, caught them red-handed, so Dr. Jenks goes at him with the hatchet.
01:21:46My young friend has a vivid imagination.
01:21:49But I think he's right.
01:22:10What in heaven's name is that?
01:22:12That's a parrot.
01:22:13That's another thing.
01:22:14Anton's been trying to kill it.
01:22:18Where is it?
01:22:42I don't know it.
01:22:43It got out the night Emmy was killed.
01:22:46Anton's terrified by the bird's voice.
01:22:49It might not make a sound for hours.
01:22:58You know, he's looked through every corner of this house like a lunatic.
01:23:03He even gets up in the middle of the night.
01:23:13What's the matter?
01:23:17That clock doesn't work.
01:23:19Hasn't for years.
01:23:23The hands aren't even connected.
01:23:27Anton's back.
01:23:29He used the front door.
01:23:31He's in the house waiting.
01:23:33He's been listening.
01:23:35He's going to kill me for talking to you.
01:23:37Stop it.
01:23:38Nobody's going to kill you.
01:23:41Look around, Carl.
01:23:53The bird's been here all right.
01:23:54It's dirtier than a cage.
01:23:55It could have started it moving.
01:23:57No, no.
01:23:58Anton's back here.
01:23:59I know he's back.
01:24:00He's not here.
01:24:02Where did he go?
01:24:04Where did he go?
01:24:06Clemens.
01:24:08An hour ago.
01:25:06Come on.
01:25:36Come on.
01:26:06Come on.
01:26:36Come on.
01:27:07Come on.
01:27:21No.
01:27:22Don't.
01:27:24Don't.
01:27:25No.
01:27:28Put it down.
01:27:30You can run away.
01:27:32Run.
01:27:33I won't tell you've been here.
01:27:36You're ill, Salem.
01:27:38Yes, I'm insane.
01:27:40Esther, I'm mad.
01:27:42You made sure of that, didn't you?
01:27:45No.
01:27:46I didn't.
01:27:49It was Anton.
01:27:51He did all this to you.
01:27:53I didn't know it before it was too late.
01:27:58It was Anton and Emmy.
01:28:02I know you, Esther.
01:28:05I've tried to help you all these years, Salem.
01:28:09Tried to get you out of that awful prison.
01:28:19But Anton hates you.
01:28:23I understand that you want to kill him.
01:28:28But to kill Emmy, that was a terrible thing to do.
01:28:35Poor Salem.
01:28:50Poor Salem.
01:28:54I'll help you.
01:28:58You can still run away.
01:29:02Just give me the axe and run.
01:29:07I won't tell anyone.
01:29:12I always loved you, you know.
01:29:16Didn't I help you before?
01:29:20And you love me.
01:29:22You're my big brother.
01:29:28So give it to me.
01:29:33Give it to me.
01:29:38Give it to me now.
01:29:43Don't be silly.
01:29:46Don't you understand I'm trying to help you?
01:29:51Give it to me now, you idiot.
01:29:58Give it to me.
01:30:29Esther!
01:30:31Esther!
01:30:42Esther.
01:30:59Hey, hey.
01:31:02No.
01:31:04No, Salem.
01:31:06No, please.
01:31:08Don't, don't, don't.
01:31:13Don't, don't.
01:31:18No, no, no.
01:31:20You can't.
01:31:21Please, stop it.
01:31:23No, no, no.
01:31:28Don't, please.
01:31:31You can't, you can't.
01:31:33No, no, no, no.
01:31:54Don't, don't, don't.
01:31:59Don't, don't, don't.
01:32:19House is empty, sir.
01:32:20No sign of Dr. Jenks.
01:32:24I've seen him hacked to pieces before,
01:32:26but never like this.
01:32:30Go ahead, let him know at the station.
01:32:56Inspector?
01:32:59Inspector?
01:33:02Is he gone?
01:33:04Inspector?
01:33:05Who are you talking about?
01:33:06Salem.
01:33:07Oh, he was here again, was he?
01:33:09I think he killed Esther because I heard her scream,
01:33:12and then I didn't hear her anymore.
01:33:14So I have to be very careful,
01:33:18because he can get out, in and out.
01:33:21I think it's wise to keep all the doors locked.
01:33:25How do you think he killed Mrs. Jenks?
01:33:28With the axe, of course.
01:33:30He had to use the axe to get even.
01:33:33To get even?
01:33:34Yes.
01:33:35We put blood on his axe.
01:33:37This time he had to wipe it on me.
01:33:39He came out to kill Esther,
01:33:41and now he's going back to put the blame on me.
01:33:45I wish I hadn't listened to Esther.
01:33:48To even think of burning this place down for the man-evils
01:33:52is madness.
01:33:54And then to...
01:33:58to kill a person because he...
01:34:01he interrupted us.
01:34:05Hit him.
01:34:06Anton, hit him in the eye.
01:34:25Tell the sergeant we'll be needing statements from Jenks and Torrance.
01:34:29What about you?
01:34:31To the asylum, just as fast as I can make it.
