00:06:40I'll start right in by telling the room clerk. You've been entertaining your girlfriend in our apartment. Then I'll call the newspapers

00:07:23Sir, mr. Blake. This is lieutenant Stewart. Mr. Blake's our manager lieutenant. You really had us worried
00:07:27I'm glad you finally got here for a while
00:07:29I wasn't sure we'd make it the weatherman threw the book at us while you're in for a real welcome 816 C boy. Oh
00:07:34That's all right. I kind of like the surprise very well, sir

00:07:44I'm glad you finally got here for a while. I wasn't sure we'd make it the weatherman threw the book at us
00:08:14I
00:08:19What's the matter
00:08:24Janet Janet, it's me. It's Paul
00:08:40Janet
00:08:45You
00:08:48Hello hello operator, this is lieutenant Stewart calling can you send the house doctor day 16 C right away? It's very urgent. Thank you
00:09:03Well
00:09:06You
00:09:12What is it
00:09:14What's wrong with the doctor?
00:09:16I'm not sure. I think she's suffering from some sort of shock
00:09:21I'll be frank with you lieutenant. This is a little outside my line
00:09:26But there must be something you can do for we ought to call in a nerve specialist a psychiatrist
00:09:31Can you suggest one there's a very good man in the hotel dr. Cross if we're lucky we might find him in
00:09:39This is dr. Blair, will you see if dr. Cross is in for me? Thanks
00:09:46Cross has had a lot of experience with this sort of thing
00:09:49I'm all right for a broken arm or an old-fashioned hangover, but when it comes to the mind, well
00:09:56Hello, dr. Cross. This is Blair in the hotel. How are you?
00:10:01Say I've run into something. That's right up your alley
00:10:04One of the guests here's had some sort of shock
00:10:08No, I I don't know what caused it
00:10:11Would you well, that's mighty nice of you
00:10:14Thanks doctor
00:10:16816 C
00:10:19He'll be right with us it was so alive when I saw her last I
00:10:24Can't quite believe this
00:10:27Better snap out of it lieutenant. I don't want another patient
00:10:30Dr. Cross is one of the best men in this part of the country. I'm very happy that he's going to have a look at
00:10:35I
00:10:36Don't get it. What could have brought it on? I wish I could tell you the mind's a strange instrument
00:10:42What affects me may not bother you in the slightest the workings of the mind depend on so many things inside as well as outside
00:10:50You can't make hard and fast rules. I suppose it is plausible that she hasn't been feeling well
00:10:56Worrying about me not not knowing whether I was dead or alive
00:10:59Then coming here and not finding me that'll be dr. Cross
00:11:07Good morning doctor. Good morning. I appreciate your promise. Not at all. Do you get to a case of shock the better?
00:11:15This is lieutenant Stewart dr. Cross, how do you do lieutenant? Thanks for coming doctor. My wife is in the bedroom
00:11:25She doesn't know me she doesn't seem to know anything
00:11:30Were you here when it happened, I just got in a few minutes ago when I opened the door
00:11:34She was sitting on the divan her eyes were wide open. She was staring at
00:11:39nothing
00:11:41Did you notice anything peculiar about her actions when you saw her last? I've been a prisoner of war for two years
00:11:47I've just come home. Oh, I see. She's had a rugged time, but all right first thinking I was dead
00:11:53Then hearing from me on top of all that my plane was 12 hours late
00:11:57Would you say that she was a nervous imaginative girl? No, sir. I've known her all my life
00:12:02We came from the same small town in Michigan went to school together
00:12:07She well, she's just a nice kid
00:12:11What's wrong with the doctor she's had a nervous collapse went into shock
00:12:19Where did you find it in the living room in the living room?
00:12:27You said she was sitting on the divan yes right here I
00:12:31See, what do you think of the cost of doctor?
00:12:34Well, that's difficult to say
00:12:43You have no idea how long she might have been sitting there no
00:12:47Well, the clerk did say she found out about 1 in the morning between 1 and 8 30. What difference does that make doctor?
00:12:54The important thing is what can you do for her?
00:12:57It's hard for a doctor to make promises. We can only do our best
00:13:01Are you living permanently at the hotel? No, as a matter of fact, we've got to clear out by noon. Oh, I see
00:13:06But then I'd better take her to my place
00:13:09She's going to need someone with her night and day
00:13:12Dr. Cross has a private sanatorium just out of town. I
00:13:16See, believe me lieutenant. It's best for her, but there must be a hospital here in San Francisco
00:13:21I'd like to be near of course, but I'm at my place every day
00:13:26It's in the country and she'll get plenty of fresh air and quiet
00:13:29If I were you lieutenant, I'd listen to dr. Cross
00:13:34Okay, you meant no best
00:13:37Just get her well again. I was getting ready to leave when you called. I'll take mr. Stewart up with me now
00:13:43Hello, this is dr. Cross. Will you get my office, please? I'm going along with a doctor
00:13:47I'd rather you waited lieutenant until I've been able to give her a thorough examination
00:13:51It's quite possible your presence may excite her and do her more harm than good
00:13:56It's just that I it's been so long since I've seen her. Why don't you drive up with me tomorrow?
00:14:02Miss Jordan
00:14:03Will you call the hospital and tell miss Hatfield to have a room for me?
00:14:07Yes, of course, I'll do that. Thank you
00:14:09Miss Jordan
00:14:11Will you call the hospital and tell miss Hatfield to have a room ready for a new patient?
00:14:15We'll be there shortly
00:14:17Yes, that's right
00:14:19You pick us up at the hotel
00:14:22right
00:14:25You'd better pack a bag for your wife lieutenant, thanks doctor
00:14:29I'm from dr. Cross's office. We would pick up a patient. Oh, yes, they're on their way down now. Thank you

00:19:34You
00:19:42You did it yes
00:19:46Yes, I did it it was horrible elaine
00:19:51I had the porter take the trunk down
00:19:54I told the hotel manager. I was joining my
00:19:58Wife and carnell for a few days
00:20:01To ship the trunk to my lodge
00:20:04No one knew she was in town last night. No, she came up the back way
00:20:08She wanted to surprise us. Remember
00:20:13You're not sorry
00:20:17Are you
00:20:18I wish i'd called the police
00:20:21I lost my head. I didn't mean to kill her. There was no premeditation
00:20:25But now i've concealed her body. I've shipped the trunk to my lodge and you know as well as I do
00:20:30There's only one answer for that
00:20:33I shouldn't have listened to you elaine think darling
00:20:36What would have happened if you'd called the police manslaughter means 20 years?
00:20:40What would that have done to you to us? I don't know would you have wanted it that way?
00:20:45Well, no one knows
00:20:47We're safe. You're forgetting janet stewart, aren't you? She knows what if she talks I haven't forgotten her
00:20:53She can't tell what she's seen as long as she's in this condition
00:20:55Can she shock will wear off in a couple of weeks at the most it'll wear off if you let it dick
00:21:01Elaine i'm a doctor. She'll talk only if you let her
00:21:06You mean too much to me
00:21:08It's the only way out dick
00:21:10It's the one and only way out for us
00:21:12I don't know elaine. I've got to think
00:21:30Good
00:21:34Good morning, mrs. Penny. Good morning. You're looking very well today. Thank you doctor. Good morning doctor morning miss hatfield
00:21:40This is lieutenant stewart. Miss. Hatfield's our head nurse. How do you do lieutenant is miss jordan with mrs. Stewart? Yes, she is doctor
00:21:53Good morning lieutenant
00:21:57Janet
00:22:01Darling it's me
00:22:04It's paul
00:22:08I'm home dear
00:22:15She's worse not really she was restless and we gave her a sedative
00:22:20You've got to be patient lieutenant. It's going to take time
00:22:23And you must try to stop thinking of your wife as she was
00:22:27You see when you were reported killed she had a terrible time adjusting herself, but she did
00:22:34Then when the news came that you were alive and on your way home
00:22:37It was hard for her subconscious to accept that because the first adjustment had been so difficult
00:22:43Then of course when your plane was late
00:22:46She thought she'd been tricked
00:22:47That you'd never sent that wire. Don't try and let me off easily doctor. Give it to me straight
00:22:53Tell me can you help her?
00:22:57That's a very difficult question to answer sit down lieutenant
00:23:03The mind is a delicate fragile thing
00:23:07it's almost as intangible as
00:23:09as faith
00:23:11And that's what you're going to need
00:23:13A lot of faith in yourself and in your wife and in me
00:23:17Please don't think I haven't faith in you doctor because I have
00:23:21But yesterday after you left with janet, I I needed someone to talk to
00:23:26of course
00:23:27So I went to the army hospital and I talked with some of the doctors
00:23:31I told them janet was in your care. They said that I couldn't find a better man
00:23:36but
00:23:37Well, you know how it is. I figured that maybe two minds might be better than one
00:23:41And I asked if another opinion mightn't help
00:23:45Well, that's perfectly understandable
00:23:47If you want a consultant by all means bring one in. Thanks
00:23:51They recommended dr. Franklin Harvey
00:23:54Harvey
00:23:55well
00:23:56I studied under him. He's probably the best man in his field. Oh, that's swell doctor. I was a little embarrassed
00:24:02I didn't want you to think that not at all. I'll phone. Dr. Harvey and have him out here good
00:24:08Well, I might as well go back to town
00:24:11If it's all right, i'll run out again tomorrow
00:24:13For mrs. Stewart's sake i'm going to have to ask you to observe our regular visiting days sundays and thursdays
00:24:19I'll phone dr. Harvey and try to have him out here thursday so that you can talk with him then. Okay, we'll make it thursday
00:24:25Oh, I thought you'd like to know lieutenant. She's resting quite easily now. Thanks
00:24:30Goodbye, doctor miss jordan. Goodbye
00:24:55So
00:25:07Mrs. Stewart
00:25:11Mrs. Stewart
00:25:15You're going out on that balcony again, mrs. Stewart
00:25:19You're looking into the other apartment
00:25:23You're listening to the argument
00:25:26Do you remember what happened to the woman?
00:25:29He's hitting her
00:25:31He's hitting her with the candlestick
00:25:34And now he's hitting you
00:25:36Hitting you with the candlestick hitting your head again
00:25:45Soon you won't be able to remember it
00:25:49You can't hear the sound now
00:25:52You can't hear anything you can't hear
00:25:59You can't remember
00:26:02You can't remember
00:26:06You can't remember
00:26:09Edward's condition is deteriorating rapidly
00:26:13If this continues we will have to take steps to put him in a more suitable institution
00:26:22She's exhausted
00:26:24You haven't got far to go
00:26:26Elaine
00:26:27Do you think you could manage it here alone for the weekend?
00:26:30Certainly why?
00:26:31The trunk should be there tomorrow
00:26:35I've been wondering
00:26:37There are no servants at the lodge
00:26:39What'll happen when the trunk is delivered and there's no one to receive it nothing. They'll just leave it on the back porch
00:26:44When are you leaving?
00:26:46tomorrow
00:26:48Dr. Harvey's due here this afternoon
00:26:51Harvey coming here for what? Stuart requested a consultation
00:26:55You're not going to let him examine her. Of course, how would it have looked if I'd said no, but he might discover something
00:27:01He has no reason to be suspicious. You can't risk it. I won't let you I know what i'm doing Elaine
00:27:06Darling, you're not thinking clearly
00:27:08I've never seen things so clearly before in my whole life
00:27:21You
00:27:31Send me a report on her spinal test. Yes, dr. Harvey and the other specimens
00:27:43You know Richard
00:27:45I'm, not sure. I completely agree. This was all brought on by her husband's late arrival. That was a contributing circumstance
00:27:52I feel there may have been something else
00:27:55Well, that's always possible. Of course, sir
00:27:57But I found no evidence of it
00:28:00just speculation
00:28:04Will you have a cigar sir? Yes. Thank you
00:28:08Let's continue the present treatment and see how she comes along. Yes
00:28:12I noticed Richard. You've been giving her sedatives
00:28:15Yes, I have. She's been pretty difficult at times
00:28:21I'd go easy on them
00:28:23If she's under sedation, there's no way of knowing when she comes back to normal
00:28:26No, I'd plan to take her off from within the next 24 hours. Fine
00:28:30By the way, how's margaret?
00:28:33I'm joining her at the lodge. Give her my regards when you see her. I will. Thank you
00:28:38Well, I'd better talk with the young man
00:28:40Sometimes I wonder which are more difficult patients or their families
00:28:56Hiya beautiful. Hi
00:28:59Yeah, what a night
00:29:01You don't happen to know a blonde who'd like to relax with me, do you?
00:29:05That's what I thought you'd say. Coffee? Please
00:29:08And poor Edward Z. Storm don't do him any good
00:29:10He kept ducking into his closet and slamming the door after him. I finally had to lock it
00:29:16How's your patient? All right, I guess
00:29:19She's talking with her husband. It's kind of tough coming home and finding a wife in that condition
00:29:23Yes
00:29:25Can't figure dr. Cross's treatment
00:29:28Why keep the poor guy from seeing his wife?
00:29:31I think would help snap her out of it if she saw more of him. Dr. Cross doesn't want to get her excited
00:29:36Dr. Cross doesn't want to get her excited after all the attack was brought on by worry over him
00:29:41Yeah
00:29:44That was close
00:30:06So
00:30:36So
00:31:07So
00:31:19It's time to turn in so you better tuck your patient in bed and get a good night's sleep
00:31:23Yes, I should be up there now. Tell me is it true that doctors get a night off once in a while?
00:31:27If you had a night off, you wouldn't know what to do with it
00:31:30Wouldn't I?
00:31:33Wouldn't I good night doctor. Good night
00:31:43Well another stormy weekend it is my night off
00:31:53Well, anyway, the rain will help jane on her day off
00:32:02So
00:32:04So
00:32:31Who's there
00:32:33Why mr. Edwards, you shouldn't be in here come i'll take you back don't I?
00:33:04Hey
00:33:08Don't be afraid
00:33:14We won't let the storm hurt you
00:33:17You're coming back to your room, aren't you? Mr. Edwards?
00:33:21Aren't you? Mr. Edwards
00:33:30That's fine come along
00:33:33Come on
00:33:36Take care of him frank. Yes, doctor. Come on, sir. Are you all right? Elaine? Yes
00:33:44There there mrs. Stewart, it's all over he killed her he hit her on the head and he killed her killed her
00:33:58This became very violent last night this morning we found that he had a key hidden away
00:34:03I ordered the lock on his door to be changed
00:34:06As for mrs. Stewart, she's suffering from hallucinations
00:34:09She keeps insisting that she witnessed a murder which obviously
00:34:14Come in
00:34:17Oh, hello lieutenant they told me I found you here
00:34:21I hope i'm not interrupting
00:34:22Not at all
00:34:23It's kind of rough, isn't it?
00:34:25Yeah
00:34:26She's out of her head. She's got a crazy idea. She saw a murder
00:34:31What am I going to do, ah, you're gonna sit tight she's in good hands so they keep telling me but
00:34:37Oh, she's getting worse now i'm thinking of taking her back to san francisco to a hospital there
00:34:44I uh
00:34:46I wouldn't do that if I were you lieutenant. Dr. Cross is tops. You know that you brought harvey in to consult you
00:34:51Can't do any better than that, but I can't just sit around and watch her get worse. I've got to do something
00:34:57Lieutenant I wouldn't try to kid you for the world so far
00:34:59We've tried to snap her out of it with quiet and rest and simple foods
00:35:03There are a dozen other things we can do electric therapy insulin shock insulin shock
00:35:08They use that in the army on guys who blow their talks. Sure. They do because it often helps
00:35:13But you're not going to turn it down on that account. Are you no?
00:35:16Relax, the setup here is perfect. Everybody's rooting for you. I just take it easy. You mean that?
00:35:23Okay
00:35:26Say put in a couple of extra lex docker
00:35:29I'd kind of like to take her home soon
00:35:31Okay, lieutenant. We'll do everything we possibly can for her
00:35:35Goodbye doctor. Goodbye. All right. Thank you
00:35:38Look at this mrs. Cross is dead what?
00:35:42The body of mrs. Margaret cross wife of the noted psychiatrist has just been recovered from its resting place among the rocks at point lovis
00:35:51Mrs. Cross has been missing since friday night. Colonel. Jess haynes has pronounced the death accidental
00:36:03Good morning, doctor. You have our deepest sympathy. Thank you
00:36:14I'm terribly sorry doctor. Thank you. Would you come in? Mr. Yes
00:36:20Okay
00:36:27You're the perfect picture of a heartbroken husband am I
00:36:33I've missed you
00:36:35Driving back there was time to think I got to thinking about you
00:36:39I asked myself
00:36:41Is she worth what i've done?
00:36:44well
00:36:50I
00:36:53That was a very satisfactory answer, how did things go while I was away?
00:36:57Well, darling things are going so well. I can hardly believe it. What do you mean?
00:37:00Mr. Edwards got out during the storm. He went into a room what he went after me. I struggled with him
00:37:07She woke up and confused. Mr. Edwards with you. She was thrown back into that night at the hotel
00:37:11Oh, Elaine that undoes everything i've tried to do. No stephens and miss hatfield heard her. They're convinced. She's insane
00:37:18Now no matter what she says they'll think she has hallucinations
00:37:21I see, but you don't see darling
00:37:24Before you were trying to make a fret
00:37:26Now she can talk her head off and no one will believe her if we can encourage her to talk
00:37:31Consider her husband that she's insane. We can keep her here as long as it suits us
00:37:34Then have her committed
00:37:48You
00:37:58Darling
00:38:00Janet darling
00:38:03It's me
00:38:05Wake up
00:38:08Out of here
00:38:18Oh
00:38:25I've waited all night before you die
00:38:30What took you so long don't worry i'm with you now
00:38:35We have to be out one morning
00:38:39They won't let us stay
00:38:44Lieutenant stewart
00:38:48You shouldn't be in here
00:38:52Paul
00:38:54It's him. Who is it dear?
00:38:57Him he killed her
00:39:00He killed his wife
00:39:03He picked something up paul and he hit her with it
00:39:07He was arguing with her
00:39:10I know I know dear
00:39:12You've upset her lieutenant. You shouldn't have come in here. Come outside with me
00:39:15Give her a hypodermic nurse
00:39:17Don't leave me here. He'll kill me. Come back
00:39:21What's happened to her lieutenant i'm going to be perfectly frank with you
00:39:25What you've just heard is something i've been afraid of
00:39:28There are times when patients emerging from amnesia
00:39:32Suffer from delusions
00:39:34It doesn't happen often. I'd hoped it wouldn't happen in her case, but you hurt her yourself. But why?
00:39:40Well
00:39:42That's hard to explain
00:39:44But if you come with me, I think I might be able to clarify it for you
00:39:56Hello, mrs. Penny
00:39:57Good day doctor. How are you feeling today? Just fine doctor. Just fine
00:40:02That's a lovely thing. You're knitting there. It's a show for one of my friends
00:40:07Everyone here treating you. Well. Oh, yes, they're very nice to me. Dr. Stevens hasn't tried to hurt you
00:40:13Dr. Stevens hasn't tried to kill me with that needle for a long while now. Neither has miss Hatfield
00:40:19Haven't I told you many times mrs. Penny that no one here is trying to kill you. Oh, yes, they are
00:40:24You all want to kill me. You're murderers all of you, but i've learned
00:40:29I'm too smart for you
00:40:31So
00:40:42What you've just heard lieutenant for the second time
00:40:45Is the typical attitude of many of our patients towards the hospital staff?
00:40:50But that old lady she seemed all right. Mrs. Penny is suffering from a paranoid form of dementia precox
00:40:56characterized either by delusions of grandeur or delusions of persecution or both
00:41:01the patient when confined to the hospital
00:41:04Almost invariably becomes convinced that the doctors and nurses who are treating him are really murderers intent on killing him
00:41:11This delusion is quite common among mental cases in an institution of this sort
00:41:15Are you trying to tell me my wife is out of her mind? No
00:41:19Out of the mind denotes complete loss of reason
00:41:22Mrs. Stewart hasn't reached that stage, but she's got the same crazy idea as the other patients right now. She's merely suffering delusions
00:41:30however, I
00:41:31I feel it's only fair to tell you lieutenant
00:41:34That this condition can become worse
00:41:37Our fight now is to prevent further deterioration of her mind
00:41:41You've got to help her doctor
00:41:43You've got to get her well again
00:41:46I'll do everything I can
00:41:48Believe me
00:41:52So
00:42:17Come now mrs. Stewart you shouldn't be out of bed. Will you help me please?
00:42:22Please please help me
00:42:24Get the police here, please. We don't need the police mrs. Stewart. You come along with me and everything will be
00:42:29You don't understand. There's nothing the matter with me
00:42:31I want the police that doctor's a murderer, but you'll go back to bed and we'll call them
00:42:36Don't talk to me as if I were crazy. I'm telling you the truth orderly now. Come along mrs. Stewart. No one's going to
00:42:43Be all right
00:42:50I wish you could have been there to see her yourself. Yes, I heard about it this morning
00:42:53She had the usual delusions. She kept insisting that you were a murderer, you know how they get
00:42:58She wanted me to call the police
00:43:00For a moment. She became very violent. I had to give her a sedative
00:43:03I think we ought to do something about her. I agree with you doctor. I'll be in this year in a few minutes
00:43:08Thank you, sir. Thank you
00:43:13There you see everything worked out just as we planned
00:43:17Yes
00:43:19Well smile darling. It's fallen right in our lap
00:43:22You don't seem particularly pleased. I am of course. I am elaine. Well, what are you going to do?
00:43:28I'm going to try to find something that will convince her that she's insane
00:43:35You'd better get back to her now darling i'll be over in a few minutes, right
00:43:42So
00:44:13You feeling any better today
00:44:15I'm, all right
00:44:17There's nothing the matter with me
00:44:19Miss jordan tells me that you're still talking about some woman. I'm supposed to have killed
00:44:25I've asked you to stop thinking about such things. Mrs. Stewart
00:44:30But
00:44:31It was your own wife
00:44:33If I can prove to you that you couldn't have seen me kill my wife
00:44:37Would you believe that this is a delusion you've been suffering from?
00:44:43You were arguing with her about a divorce
00:44:53If you will look at the date on this newspaper mrs. Stewart
00:44:57You will see that my wife died only a week ago
00:45:01You have been a patient here for over three weeks now
00:45:05Three weeks
00:45:08That's right
00:45:10So you see this has all been a very vivid dream
00:45:14You must fight these dreams. Mrs. Stewart. Are they going to become worse and we don't want that to happen
00:45:20My mind is all right. It's not all right. Mrs. Stewart. Your mind is sick and it's getting worse
00:45:25My mind is all right. You wouldn't want your husband to see you in that condition, would you?
00:45:31He doesn't even want to see you when you're like this
00:45:34You're losing your mind. Mrs. Stewart. No, no losing your mind
00:45:40No
00:45:49Thank you, miss Hatfield
00:45:51Dr. Cross. Yes. There's someone in your office to see you. Did I have an appointment? No, sir
00:45:56He's from the district attorney's office of monterey
00:46:00Oh, yes. Thank you
00:46:11So
00:46:28Dr. Cross yes
00:46:31How are you, my name's anil i'm with the district attorney's office in monterey county. Oh, yes, what can I do for you?
00:46:38It's in connection with your wife's death doctor
00:46:42I thought the case had been closed
00:46:45Something happened this week that made us consider the possibility that your wife didn't fall into that chasm by accident
00:46:51I don't understand a couple of days ago. Someone broke into harwood lodge beat mrs
00:46:56Harwood into unconsciousness and made off with the valuables
00:46:59We caught the thief day before yesterday
00:47:02But what is that to do with mrs cross's death it may not have anything to do with it
00:47:09It occurred to us that since the lodge was so close to your place
00:47:12The man who clubbed mrs. Harwood may have paid a visit to your wife
00:47:16You've lived around point lobus for nearly 10 years
00:47:19Mrs. Cross spent much of her time there
00:47:22She must have known those cliffs pretty well even at night
00:47:25Yes
00:47:27I'd hate to think i'm not saying it was murder doctor. I'm just checking of course
00:47:34I'll do everything I can to help you. I knew you'd feel that way about it
00:47:39Have you checked your place to see if anything was missing?
00:47:42I'm sure there isn't a lot of notice today if it's all right with you doctor
00:47:46We'd like to have mrs cross's body exhumed
00:47:50But the coroner said it was only a routine examination
00:47:53Well, I don't know if that's necessary. Mr. O'neill
00:47:57You've got your man. All we've got is a drunken old tramp who clubbed mrs. Harwood and stole a little money and jewelry
00:48:04We can't know about mrs. Cross unless the body's exhumed
00:48:08But it seems almost sacrilegious
00:48:12Hasn't she been through enough? Haven't I? I'd hope you'd be more understanding doctor
00:48:17Naturally, we'll get a close-up of the body
00:48:19I'd hope you'd be more understanding doctor. Naturally, we'll get a court order, but it would be much simpler if you
00:48:27If this tramp killed your wife you want to see him punished don't you of course
00:48:32Then you can't conscientiously object to the exhumation
00:48:35No
00:48:37No, mr. O'neill. I can't
00:48:40If the man is guilty
00:48:42He must be punished. Of course
00:48:44Thank you, doctor
00:48:46You'll hear from me one way or the other within the next few days, thank you for your cooperation
00:49:12Darling i've been so worried. I didn't know what had happened to you
00:49:17Where have you been? The city
00:49:19When you weren't here for dinner, I began to worry
00:49:22What did the man from the district attorney's office want?
00:49:25They're going to exhume margaret's body. You're not going to let them. I had nothing to say about it
00:49:29They'd get a court order. But why are they? I don't think some prowler may have killed her
00:49:34They weren't looking for anything before
00:49:36She slipped and fell and fractured her skull against the rocks
00:49:40Now they may discover it wasn't the fall that killed her. They can't prove anything. No
00:49:45Once they start asking questions, I
00:49:48That's why I went to the city. I had to make sure that I hadn't overlooked anything in the apartment
00:49:53Why didn't I report it in the first place? Why did I let you talk me into?
00:49:57If it weren't for that steward girl
00:50:00If they start asking questions and find her, maybe they won't find
00:50:03We've taken care of everything else so far. If we have to we'll take care of her, too
00:50:07And you're not helping matters acting this way
00:50:15You
00:50:20If a man wanted to
00:50:22If he had courage
00:50:25He could get rid of her and no one would ever know
00:50:29Doctor has an advantage
00:50:33I could give her insulin shock treatment
00:50:38Shock treatments indicated in a case like hers
00:50:41I could give her four injections
00:50:43Then with the last one
00:50:45an overdose
00:50:47No one would ever know the difference then we'd be safe
00:50:50No matter what the district attorney's office found we'd be safe. They'd have nothing on us richard
00:50:55We could get married then
00:50:57You'd be yourself again richard
00:50:59We'd find peace and quiet here just the two of us. You don't think i'd do it. Do you?
00:51:04Why not?
00:51:06Is her life more important than ours? I've had enough. Look helene. I can't go on like this things keep piling up
00:51:12First it was margaret and then tricking that child so that she'd forget
00:51:16Then convincing her that she was insane
00:51:19There's a limit beyond which even I can't go
00:51:29Richard remember the first night I came here remember
00:51:42You
00:51:47You were alone
00:51:50You were sitting here in front of the fireplace with a sick headache
00:51:55The lights were out
00:51:57You didn't hear me when I knocked and I opened the door and you said oh, it's you miss jordan
00:52:05You call me miss jordan then remember
00:52:08I
00:52:10Told you I had to see you about mrs. Penny's prescription
00:52:14You talked to me and you saw that I was tired and you asked me if I wouldn't have a drink
00:52:19I hesitated and you said
00:52:22I won't bite your head off miss jordan
00:52:25We had a drink
00:52:28Remember
00:52:31We sat here for a long time and then suddenly you laughed and you said your headache was gone
00:52:38And you asked me about my family I told you
00:52:42And we both laughed
00:52:45Remember
00:52:54Then you took me in your arms
00:52:58I know you remember that
00:53:01I won't do it to me. I won't do it
00:53:08Just a minute i'm coming
00:53:17Hello doctor
00:53:19Come in
00:53:21I hope you hadn't gone to bed. No
00:53:25They told me at the hospital i'd find you here
00:53:28I didn't expect to see you so soon. Mr. O'neill. I
00:53:31I thought you'd phone me if there were any developments. I had to serve the papers
00:53:35Oh, yes coroner's inquest subpoena now, it's legal
00:53:41What did the coroner find
00:53:44Your wife was murdered doctor
00:53:48Oh
00:53:56Are you sure? Yes, sir. Sit down mr. O'neill
00:54:05She was beaten over the head suffered an explosive fracture death was practically instantaneous
00:54:12This prowler you told me about you think he did it
00:54:16same, so
00:54:17He clubbed mrs. Harwood. Your wife went out the same way
00:54:21a pattern
00:54:22Killers usually follow a pattern
00:54:24You don't know how she was killed. I mean the weapon she was struck with a candlestick
00:54:31A candlestick. Are you sure?
00:54:34A heavy silver one
00:54:35How can you know microscope?
00:54:38There were particles of silver in the wound. They told us it was a silver object
00:54:42There were bits of wax mixed in with the silver. They told us it was a candlestick
00:54:46Must have been a heavy candlestick to have done the damage
00:54:53Just routine doctor a criminal doesn't have much of a chance these days, does he? No, sir
00:55:03By the way, do you have any silver candlesticks at the lodge
00:55:07We might have i'd like your permission to go through the house
00:55:10The murderer may have left the candlestick behind in which case we'll get fingerprints
00:55:14If he got rid of the weapon, we may be able to find the mate
00:55:17Then we'll know what to look for. Of course go right ahead. Thanks
00:55:23Now if we can find the candlestick our troubles are over
00:55:26By the way, when did you see mrs cross last alive, I mean
00:55:30Or a couple of weeks before she was killed
00:55:34Why can you place a little little more definitely?
00:55:38I think so
00:55:40Things had been piling up around here and I needed a change
00:55:44So I drove down to point lobus on a friday night. Anyone see you
00:55:49I don't think so. Why?
00:55:51We're trying to fix the exact time of her death
00:55:54Well, i'm not sure anyone saw me
00:55:56I drove down there on friday night
00:55:59Left there around 9 30 saturday night
00:56:03Well, it's not too important
00:56:08Naturally, I want to do everything I can to help you. Mr. O'neill if I think of anything i'll get in touch with you
00:56:14Thanks
00:56:15Sorry to bother you so late. That's all right
00:56:17See you at the end of this good night doctor. Good night
00:56:47You
00:56:52Will thou help her comfort her honor and keep her in sickness and in health
00:56:57And forsaking all others keep only unto her so long as she both shall live
00:57:02I will
00:57:04What's the matter richie?
00:57:06You haven't been yourself lately
00:57:08Something on your mind
00:57:10Darling, what's happening with us?
00:57:12Richard I must speak to you
00:57:15People are talking about you and that nurse miss joan. How do you like my hair richie? Of course I had it done
00:57:23Everyone said it makes me look years younger
00:57:28I could give her four injections then with the last one an overdose
00:57:44Oh
00:57:51Then we'd be safe no matter what the district attorney's office found we'd be safe
00:58:08Get me lieutenant stewart, please
00:58:11Treatment itself consists of a series of shocks brought on by injections of insulin
00:58:16The dosage and the degree of shock is gradually increased
00:58:19Until we've reached what we feel is the limit the patient system can stand
00:58:24Well, if you do give janet this insulin, how how certain can you be that it'll help her?
00:58:27I'm, neither a miracle man or a prophet lieutenant
00:58:30If medicine were an exact science and not an art, I might be able to tell you
00:58:36But you think there's a chance
00:58:38Yes, I do
00:58:42I I have seen it work in the army
00:58:47All right, doctor go ahead and try it fine we'll begin the treatment tomorrow morning
00:59:08So
00:59:38So
00:59:47I'll give her about an hour and a half
01:00:08So
01:00:34Now watch
01:00:39So
01:00:49Oh
01:01:01Oh
01:01:03Oh
01:01:33So
01:02:03So
01:02:18Is dr. Harvey in yes, he's in do you have an appointment?
01:02:24I'll be glad to consult with you doctor. I'm sorry to break in this way
01:02:28I'm sorry, sir
01:02:30My secretary will make the appointment. I had to see you doctor. It's about my wife
01:02:34She's been getting insulin shock treatments. Uh, just a moment young man. Oh, it's lieutenant stewart
01:02:39Well, we've had some wonderful results with insulin but after three treatments
01:02:43She still insists she saw dr. Cross murder his wife with a candlestick murder his wife
01:02:47Yes, and she says he's trying to kill her now
01:02:50That's a very common delusion mrs
01:02:52Our hotel you and the crosses were in the same hotel the belmont arms, I see
01:02:58And when was it she said that yesterday yes after the treatment
01:03:07You realize it's hard to make generalizations
01:03:11But as a rule the patient is completely normal immediately after insulin shock
01:03:16They may relapse into their hallucination after this lucid period
01:03:20But for that moment
01:03:22No matter how bad the case the patient speaks the truth
01:03:27you're telling me in your own way that
01:03:30That janet's normal
01:03:31That she's got something on cross and he's pretending. She's crazy to save his own neck. I'm not saying quite that but uh
01:03:38Will you read this doctor?
01:03:51Okay
01:03:54Get dr. Cross at his sanatorium, please
01:04:00It seems inconceivable
01:04:06Hello, dr. Cross, i'm sorry. Dr. Harvey. Dr. Cross is with mrs. Stewart
01:04:11No, sir. This is dr. Stephen's day off. I see
01:04:15Thank you
01:04:20Well lieutenant, I think a trip is in order
01:04:22So
01:04:46She's the only one who knows richard no matter what o'neill says or anyone else
01:04:52She's out of the way. We have nothing to worry about
