00:01:11Perhaps the Russian Pavlov was the instigator of these techniques but in my opinion viewed
00:01:24in retrospect and in the light of my more enlightened experience Pavlov and
00:01:29his famous dogs would be seen to be no more than a circus act but the surface
00:01:35has only been scratched there still remain a million unanswered questions on
00:01:40the subject of conditioned behavior a million unanswered questions
00:01:54but the surface has only been scratched there still remain a million unanswered
00:02:09questions on the subject of conditioned behavior
00:02:54a million unanswered questions on the subject of conditioned behavior
00:03:24a million unanswered questions on the subject of conditioned behavior
00:03:54you
00:04:24allow me
00:04:43Helga Muller? yes
00:04:48Tim Hunter?
00:04:54so it seems that we're the privileged few such a privilege professor Carnaby
00:05:04he's one of the greatest psychologists invited to his home for a whole week
00:05:08when this came I could hardly believe it well I didn't I thought some of the boys
00:05:12were having me on Carnaby hardly ever meets anyone I still don't believe it
00:05:17well it has happened before yes I think about once a year he invites a few
00:05:21students to his home it's a bit like a seminar you know you study and learn
00:05:26and ask questions I'm the master strange though I wonder how we were chosen I
00:05:32mean out of all the thousands of students why us who cares so long as he
00:05:37has I must say I can't wait to meet him nor me what year are you in? I graduate
00:05:44this year and you? I won't be taking my finals till next year and I am only in
00:05:49my first year so there is no pattern there then maybe he pulls names out of
00:05:55a hat do you think there will be many of us? I hope not I want to tackle him on
00:05:59that last paper of his. Oh criminal behavior oh that was so radical yes
00:06:06oh we are there
00:06:19Professor Carnaby's party that's us cars waiting
00:07:19this way please when do we meet Professor Carnaby? soon. it's enormous no wonder he
00:07:37never leaves this house. he'll get lost in a place like this. he probably will
00:07:50dear one subject have arrived two girls and a man the man looks fit and strong
00:07:59that's good the girls of course are very pretty which is why I chose them
00:08:19oh Sylvia there you are goodness knows where I would have ended up the rooms
00:08:30are beautiful aren't they? aren't they fantastic mine has a view clear across
00:08:34the grounds. oh lucky you too bad you won't get a chance to see it. no when
00:08:39will we meet him do you think? I don't know. Slattern Michael Slattern. oh Sylvia
00:08:46hello hello Helga Muller are you a student too? hardly a bit long on the
00:08:52tooth no I'm just a woolly old journalist. oh that's Slattery you write
00:08:57for Mementos magazine don't you? yes sometimes. oh you wrote that feature on
00:09:01Professor Carnaby it was very good it really got under the skin of a man. not
00:09:06as much as I hope to oh that's why I'm here I'm hoping to badger the old man
00:09:09into letting me write his biography. that should make fascinating reading. hmm so
00:09:13should the royalty checks. ah you say we'll meet him at dinner? yes that's the
00:09:17normal procedure. I'll see you then. he's rather nice. it's going to be quite a
00:09:22week. what are you gonna wear? I think I'll wear my brown dress.
00:09:33that's the normal procedure too. the professor has some fantastic tapes weird
00:09:40actual cases. see you later. yeah well see you at dinner. I'll see you downstairs.
00:10:10Oh
00:10:26professor
00:10:41oh
00:10:49you frightened me
00:10:56it's something wrong
00:10:59the dining rooms this way if you'll follow me miss
00:11:29that's fine thank you. sorry I'm late my zipper broke. yes it's pretty impressive
00:11:40isn't it? the fruits of insanity. the professor's work paid for all this.
00:11:46sherry Sylvia? hmm yes please. is professor Carnaby on his way? don't worry he'll be down
00:11:51in a moment. he wouldn't turn up till he was certain you were all here. he has a
00:11:55taste for the theatrical. loves to make an entrance. good evening. Timothy Tim
00:12:04Hunter isn't it? glad you could make it Tim. I wouldn't miss meeting you for the
00:12:07world sir. you must be Sylvia Dee. you're very pretty my dear. Helga Muller our
00:12:14little German friend. delighted to meet you. delighted to meet you all. may I
00:12:20offer a toast to enlightenment. enlightenment. won't you sit down Sylvia. you
00:12:27hear my dear Timothy. sir. professor will there be an opportunity to discuss your
00:12:37last paper criminal behavior? oh it's open house here. I hope there'll be many
00:12:41questions. and your new work sir. will we learn anything of that? now we mustn't
00:12:46rush things Tim except perhaps dinner. boss? I hope you all like boss.
00:13:07you like her don't you? the American girl. you really like her. well I'll let you
00:13:15into a secret. the professor told me she's yours. that means that the little
00:13:26one is mine. the conditioned response such as may be achieved by brainwashing
00:13:33for example is merely an extension of natural phenomena. natural phenomena? well
00:13:38the dog that seeks out the ditch and sees and what could be more natural than
00:13:42that? yes but the dog can be conditioned to avoid the ditch and sees and once
00:13:48that conditioning has been accepted its responses are as automatic as the way in
00:13:54which you withdraw from the flame. I don't think I agree with that. no? well I
00:14:00don't. I mean Tim withdrew but that's because that's a sensible thing to do
00:14:04isn't it? I mean that's an autonomic response right? it's a retreat from pain.
00:14:08you think so? yes. perhaps I should explain that boss here came to me as a
00:14:14patient. he was a very sick man isn't that so? yes professor. he's been a very
00:14:19useful and willing subject for my experiments. his problem was... well we
00:14:25won't go into that but it was a very big problem. I have endeavored to
00:14:29recondition him to give him a whole new set of responses. here comes the party
00:14:33trick. I have managed to eradicate his antisocial instincts and substitute a
00:14:37whole new set. it's had some very curious side effects. boss?
00:14:56stop it! oh I've upset you but there's no need to be upset.
00:15:03boss is quite unhurt aren't you? yes professor. I'm terribly sorry. no need to
00:15:12be sorry. you are merely suffering from a conditioned response. revulsion and horror
00:15:17in the face of another human being apparently being hurt. it's a very good
00:15:21response. more people felt as you do the world would be a better place. you didn't
00:15:27hypnotize him. that would be cheating and quite useless. no I merely taught him a
00:15:32whole new set of principles. so his problem or whatever it was has gone.
00:15:38almost. that's really something professor Carnaby. now we've talked enough about me.
00:15:45what about you eh? Timothy do you want to practice or to teach? well I wish to pass
00:15:52my exams first. Helga what made you want to study the human mind? oh I suppose it
00:16:00was the orphanage. oh? yes I was brought up an orphan but by good people. informed
00:16:06people. they helped me a lot and encouraged me to take an interest in
00:16:10others. I approve boss. oh no sir really. oh nonsense. tonight we relax tomorrow we
00:16:17get down to work. yes professor.
00:16:30who knows tonight may be your lucky night.
00:16:48could be tonight. ladies and gentlemen it's been a delightful evening but you
00:17:02have one very grave and decided advantage over me in years. so if you'll
00:17:07forgive me I'll see you in the morning. no no please remain. help yourselves to
00:17:12brandy. good night. good night sir. oh and by the way my usual fee for a lecture is
00:17:17500 guineas. what an evening. I've been trying to remember every word he said.
00:17:25they'll never believe this back at college. three whole hours and he usually
00:17:28only gives interviews for ten minutes. five if you're lucky. we certainly are. he
00:17:33liked you. you think so? sure of it. oh I'm so pleased. look I've got some work to do
00:17:38before I go to sleep. so if you'll excuse me I'll say good night.
00:17:43Tim is your father a psychologist? he was but he was killed in a car accident a
00:17:51few years back with my mother. oh I'm sorry. I understand how you feel though. I
00:17:57don't have any parents either.
00:18:01I wonder if I wonder if that could be the link. link? yes the reason we were
00:18:08chosen. none of us have any parents. but why? what possible reason?
00:18:16I don't know.
00:18:38I don't know.
00:19:09I don't need mine professor. I'm cured. there are women in the house.
00:19:25but I I am cured. go to your bed. go to sleep.
00:19:33lock them in.
00:20:03good night miss. oh good night.
00:20:33you're not giving Aldridge his injection. no I'm not. but he's an animal without it.
00:20:55an animal. that's how I want him tonight.
00:21:33good night.
00:22:04Professor. Tim. sorry to disturb you. you wouldn't want to miss this. I'm about to
00:22:19conduct a practical experiment. thought you might like to come along. yes of
00:22:23course. look I'd be grateful if you didn't make too much noise. the girls you
00:22:26know. no. don't want them to think I'm showing any favoritism. laboratory's
00:22:30upstairs.
00:22:44what kind of experiment is it sir? the physiology of violence.
00:22:52imagine Tim the knowledge to be gained from a precise study of a murderous
00:23:01attack at the moment of attack. to be able to assess the killer as he makes
00:23:07his attack. heartbeat, respiration, an encephalograph of brain activity.
00:23:14wouldn't that be a breakthrough Tim? fantastic sir. it's a breakthrough I have
00:23:20achieved. it can only ever be simulated can't it?
00:23:50Audrey?
00:23:53Audrey?
00:23:55what the...
00:23:57attack to the throat initially as usual. the need to squeal is very interesting.
00:24:24requires further investigation. heartbeat increasing rapidly.
00:24:30respiration fast and shallow. heartbeats reaching climactic phase. extraordinary power.
00:24:40autopsy will no doubt reveal many broken ribs.
00:24:44and now the need to shatter. infantile responses followed by remorse and trauma.
00:24:52respiration reaching plateau phase. restoring. strength of demini proportions I would say, if I believed in demons.
00:25:22morning. are you studying or sleeping? I knew I was right. look Jörg Kesselheim.
00:25:51you must have heard of him. Kesselheim? the murderer? yeah he escaped from Bavaria
00:25:57about six years ago. there was a worldwide manhunt. yes I remember. so what? I think
00:26:03I've seen him last night. where? here in this house. oh don't be silly. Kesselheim
00:26:10or he's double. he's double? that's more like it. morning. morning. may I? my god they are alike
00:26:21aren't they? who? well George. George Tiverton. that's who you saw. he's a sort of secretary-cum-librarian
00:26:28to professor Kempnerby. he's a spitting image of Kesselheim. I remember now the professor
00:26:35telling me that while all that hue and cry was going on poor old George was arrested three times.
00:26:39now it got so bad he had to carry a letter of identification around with him stating that
00:26:43he wasn't Kesselheim. breakfast? you've got a good memory for faces. yes. good morning professor. morning.
00:26:57I'm an early bird. lot to do today. sleep well? like a log. where's Tim? oh Tim's not too well
00:27:05I'm afraid. must've been the brandy or something woke me up in the middle of the night. terrible
00:27:11stomach pains. I prescribed something he'd be fine. should I take him up some coffee? no no no
00:27:16still sleeping. anyway Boz will look after him won't you? yes professor. well then grapefruit or orange juice?
00:27:35my Aldrich. he's an animal. an animal. there but for the grace of God. and the
00:28:04professor. these encephalographs are utterly indispensable to be able to actually see brain
00:28:13activity. yes but unless you know exactly the activity of the patient. well like this one was
00:28:20a patient reading a poem or doing his income tax or murdering somebody. it makes a difference. I
00:28:24hardly think reading a poem. tremendous mental activity. some kind of feat professor. there are
00:28:31no references to any of the patients. well there will be when George gets round to filing them.
00:28:35that's the man you thought was Kesselheim. yes as a matter of fact when they were looking for
00:28:41Kesselheim. yes sir mr. Sarrioli told us. they kept arresting George. yes. did they ever find him
00:28:46professor? you know I don't believe they did. Sylvia these should be more specific. documented
00:28:56case histories. they should be of particular interest to both of you. people of your own age,
00:29:07psychotically disturbed, suppressions, repressions. misunderstanding old chap. I didn't drink.
00:29:26so you'll go back to your kitchen eh?
00:29:38music soothes the savage breast professor. well it helps to relax the mind. make your
00:29:53minds more receptive to the earth-shaking theories I am about to propound.
00:29:57a little reversion did we.
00:30:23they rang the bell. somebody somebody rang the bell. did they? you've got bells on the
00:30:37brain. do you know that? bells on the brain. nothing wrong with shoes either. give that
00:30:49back to me. it's mine. looks clean enough to me. almost cleaned away I'd say. you almost
00:30:58see your face in it. always assuming you'd want to see your face. give it back to me.
00:31:06what would you have to do that for? I'm gonna clean them all over again. good for you. occupational
00:31:26therapy.
00:31:50Tim? Tim? he isn't there miss. mr. Hunter was taken to hospital. hospital? yes those stomach
00:32:02pains turned out to be acute appendicitis. poor Tim. how long will he be in? oh a couple of days
00:32:08a week. I think we should go and see him. cheer him up a bit. no he's going to miss this whole
00:32:13seminar. oh don't you worry I'll make it up to him. must have been awfully quick. I didn't hear
00:32:20an ambulance or anything. boss drove him there. thought it was the quickest way. you two were
00:32:23dressing for dinner. no point in disturbing you I thought. wine Sylvia? I put good claret in the
00:32:33same category as music Sylvia. it opens the mind. unless you have too much then it closes it. cheers
00:32:45professor. all right she drunk it.
00:33:08I think far too much stress is placed upon the treatment of mental patients. not enough
00:33:20upon prevention techniques. you're looking for a universal panacea to prevent mental disturbances.
00:33:26I have refined a hypnotic drug which overrides the responses. once I feel sure the conditioning
00:33:32has been accepted. oh I'm so sorry. it must be the wine. well you only had one glass. oh perhaps
00:33:41she's overtired. I've been working them very hard today. perhaps you should go to bed my dear. yes
00:33:47professor. dear I feel so sick. oh nonsense. boss will you take miss D to her room? no please I'm
00:33:54fine. shall I go up with you? you stay I don't want to ruin your evening. good night. good night
00:34:00good night Sylvia.
00:34:02oh sit down my dear
00:34:30music
00:35:00that may well be professor but it cuts right across all the work that has been done in this
00:35:20field. well put aside the old. oh I'm sorry I'm a bit sleepy myself. if you don't mind I think
00:35:31I'll go to bed. off you go. good night. good night. then there was one.
00:35:39how long will it
00:36:09be? soon. it's all right for you and Aldrich. you've had your injections. that's the whole
00:36:19point of the experiment isn't it? that you are as you are. self-doubts. no I'm fine. I'm better
00:36:36than you. I'm cured. you know Helga it occurs to me you haven't yet seen the laboratory area. of
00:36:47course you may find it dull and academic. I'd love to see it. then you shall. this very moment.
00:36:52come along. laboratories on the top floor. pull yourself together man. it's time. professor
00:37:04Carnaby. yes. there's a phone call for you sir. it's the Boston Clinic. oh dear. George there? yes
00:37:12professor. will you show miss Muller upstairs? won't be long but George will be very informative.
00:37:19back as soon as I can. this way please. 1040 initial test has begun. the girl Helga Muller is
00:37:37now alone with your Kesselheim. if he can stay in control for five minutes he will remain in
00:37:45control and I will have effected a cure. five minutes. laboratories upstairs miss.
00:38:45what is along here? therapy rooms.
00:40:15failure.
00:40:32complete failure. I I didn't touch her. both lacerations, bruising, neck broken. you didn't
00:40:52touch her. I I don't remember. I swear to you I don't remember. I'd left her alone for a few
00:41:02moments. she wandered down the corridor. she went into that room and then I heard her scream. then
00:41:08and then she was lying at your feet. yes but I don't remember touching her. you didn't touch her
00:41:18because you're cured aren't you? take him to his room. lock him in. total failure.
00:41:48I feel as many of my patients do. a struggle between logic and emotion. my logic tells me
00:42:17Kesselheim's relapse was partly to be expected. yet I'm bitterly disappointed. I was so sure so
00:42:28certain that Kesselheim was ready. so sure of success. this failure means that the next test
00:42:38is utterly crucial. it is vitally important to me and my researchers that Bostein does
00:42:47not fail with the American girl. morning. morning. morning. how are you feeling this
00:43:06morning? I woke up with a granddaddy of a hangover. remind me to stay off the wine and
00:43:12make the coffee black. where's Helga? I think she went to town this morning early. isn't that
00:43:18right boss? yes miss. with George to do some shopping. that's funny. didn't hear the car
00:43:24and this morning I wasn't seeing or hearing anything too well. where is the professor?
00:43:31working in his study. Bostein can and must succeed. after all my success with Aldrich
00:43:43has been phenomenal. sedated he is a normal charming human being. unsedated.
00:44:31how long do I have to stay in here? he didn't say. well tell him it wasn't my fault. tell him I...
00:44:53hello.
00:45:01it's 8 o'clock. uh-huh. there can't be any shops open now can there? Helga's been gone all day.
00:45:23she probably got lost. no George was with her. Michael. hmm. how long have you been here?
00:45:33some time. I came to interview the old man persuaded him to let me stay on and observe.
00:45:39he doesn't know it yet but I've almost finished drafting the shape of his biography. I'll twist
00:45:43his arm here. well during that time have any other students come to stay here? who are you
00:45:52getting at? I don't know. it's just I woke up this morning with such a hangover and it couldn't
00:46:00have been the wine. I only had one glass. anyway it didn't feel like a hangover. you're lucky. my
00:46:07head was split in two halves. well you didn't drink that much did you? enough I suppose. well
00:46:13I felt as if I'd had sleeping pills. I was really groggy. couldn't have been pills could it? well
00:46:21I don't suppose so. I've got to type some of this up before dinner so I'll see you later eh?
00:46:26boss. how's Kesselheim? still sticking to his story. doesn't remember. we'd better start
00:46:53investigating. take him right back through it. I'll need you until I'm sure he's classified as
00:47:01dangerous.
00:48:31now Kesselheim we'll go through the events once more.
00:48:50Aldridge. Bostein. Kesselheim. says I told you before I'd left her alone for a few moments. she
00:49:00wandered down the corridor and went into the room alone. you're blocking Kesselheim. you're
00:49:07blocking. no. I am very displeased you know what that means. we may have to withhold your treatment
00:49:14indefinitely.
00:50:44preliminary report. subject refused. uncooperative. I've decided to withhold treatment indefinitely. this of
00:51:09course will make him very dangerous indeed as he reverts to homicidal tendencies.
00:51:39are you gonna run my test?
00:53:09what's the matter? Helga is dead. she was murdered.
00:54:04she was right there.
00:54:33she was right there just a few minutes ago. Michael I swear to you she'd been
00:54:39murdered. Bostein Kesselheim Aldridge they're all killers and they're in this
00:54:45house. Aldridge has been out thinking us. his sedation. he isn't sedated at all.
00:55:01this is water. then Kesselheim was telling the truth. he didn't kill that
00:55:11girl. it was Aldridge. where is Aldridge? I haven't seen him for some time. and the
00:55:19American girl? lock all the doors and shutters. switch off the phone. I want the
00:55:27house sealed. Michael please you have to believe me. he has clippings on each case.
00:55:41I've seen them. they escaped from criminal asylums. look Carnaby would have
00:55:47access to places like that wouldn't he? he probably helped them escape. why would
00:55:53he do a thing like that? I don't know. for his experiments. you don't believe a
00:56:02word I'm saying. I'm gonna prove it to you. Kesselheim is in the next room. you
00:56:10mean George? no I mean Kesselheim. ah there you are. been looking for you
00:56:22everywhere. what are you doing up here? I was trying a psychological experiment
00:56:26professor to see just how far the press could be deceived. well you are welcome
00:56:31to see all my facilities of course but I do prefer the official tour. some very
00:56:37delicate experimentation going on here might be ruined. and slattery this isn't
00:56:44your domain at all. well it was all my fault professor. I'm sorry.
00:56:50Sylvia. I think I'd like a drink before dinner. hair of the dog. Michael. ah yes
00:57:19you found my weakness. well if you'll forgive me I'll join you later. how
00:57:30about a drink? what would you like Sylvia Brandt? I don't want a drink. I
00:57:43wouldn't get out of here. that's not my imagination. it's locked. the front door
00:57:49is locked too. there's nothing sinister about that. boss often locks up at about
00:57:53this time. oh my god six you've got to believe me or we're gonna end up dead.
00:58:09take the quarter. oh god I really do need a drink.
00:58:23they were upstairs. I found them upstairs. upstairs? everything else all right? yes
00:58:31it was all right but we can't afford to take chances. break it down. I locked them in.
00:58:42you did what? Michael you're gonna listen to this. day one subjects have arrived.
00:58:49two girls one man. the man looks fit and strong. that is good. the girls of course
00:58:58are both fairly pretty which is why I chose them. it is vitally important to me
00:59:07and my researchers that Bostein does not fail with the American girl. that's me.
00:59:12they've killed Helga and Tim. do you believe me now? Michael! that door isn't
00:59:19gonna hold much longer.
00:59:49Sylvia. what's going on up? it's a maze up there. you'll be searching for ages.
01:00:04wait wait we'll get out. we've got to do it right. wait till Carnaby gets further away.
01:00:11Sylvia! Miss D answer me. answer me you're in terrible danger. what's he saying?
01:00:18doesn't matter. we'll move soon. you're with Slattery. well he isn't Slattery.
01:00:25the real Slattery was killed by the man you're with now. by Aldridge. imagine trying to get away with that.
01:00:32Miss D answer me. you're with Aldridge. Martin Aldridge. he's a killer. so that's
01:00:50his ploy. divide and conquer. if you trust him. if you think I'm saying that's a
01:00:56tribute to my work, to my researchers. I've given him the face of normality. but beneath that exterior he's a killer. and he'll kill you.
01:01:08don't listen to him. run from him before it's too late. shouldn't we make a move now?
01:01:22not yet.
01:01:27you haven't kissed me yet.
01:01:32it's Aldridge. we've got to stop him.
01:02:57Oh
01:03:12Aldridge!
01:03:56Aldridge!
01:04:26you
