00:01:42♪♪
00:01:52Well, it was good of you to come, busy as you are.
00:01:54Never too busy for an interesting case,
00:01:56especially one of yours.
00:01:57Thanks.
00:01:58Appreciate your interest.
00:01:59On the phone you said you were having a serious problem
00:02:01with a young girl.
00:02:02Yeah.
00:02:03Nurse here, as a matter of fact.
00:02:05Pretty.
00:02:06Here's her case history.
00:02:08Jane Marvin.
00:02:10Hey, that's the name she's using.
00:02:12Very competent girl.
00:02:13And pretty.
00:02:15Happened when she volunteered to help me in my research
00:02:17in narco-hypnosis techniques.
00:02:19When do I get to see her?
00:02:20Right now, if you want.
00:02:21Fine.
00:02:23Jane, would you come in, please?
00:02:24Yes, sir.
00:02:26She always appeared perfectly normal.
00:02:28Pure accident, but I discovered this strange thing about her.
00:02:34Yes, doctor?
00:02:35Jane, I'd like you to meet Dr. Larimer.
00:02:37He and I were half the football backfield at med school.
00:02:40I did the blocking.
00:02:41How do you do, sir?
00:02:42Very happy to know you, Jane.
00:02:43I wanted Dr. Larimer to be present
00:02:45at our research experiment today,
00:02:46that is, if you have no objection.
00:02:48No.
00:02:49Why should I?
00:02:50Fine.
00:02:51Excuse me.
00:02:59Well, Jane, here we go again.
00:03:04Okay.
00:03:20Got a nice sharp one for you this time.
00:03:25Now, Jane, start counting backwards.
00:03:28From 20.
00:03:29I know.
00:03:30That's right.
00:03:3420, 19, 18, 17.
00:03:47I've never known a subject like you.
00:03:49I've never known a subject independent of a lie.
00:03:51Nor have I.
00:03:53Write a lie detective.
00:03:55We'll see later.
00:04:00What is your name?
00:04:04Joyce...
00:04:07Hatton.
00:04:10Joyce Hatton...
00:04:14Webster.
00:04:16Then you are married?
00:04:19I was.
00:04:22I was Mrs. Paul Webster.
00:04:28That is...
00:04:30Yes?
00:04:34I'm not sure...
00:04:38Whether I am married.
00:04:42Or ever really...
00:04:45Was married.
00:04:49I'm not sure.
00:04:52I'm just not sure.
00:04:55Would you tell us about it, Joyce?
00:04:57Everything about it.
00:05:03Everything?
00:05:05That's right, Joyce.
00:05:06From the beginning.
00:05:12I met Paul overseas.
00:05:16He was a lieutenant.
00:05:19I was nursing in a hospital.
00:05:24We made plans to be married.
00:05:27After we were both discharged.
00:05:41Very well done, Stuart.
00:05:44Isn't he an expert, Paul?
00:05:45Well, he gets lots of practice.
00:05:47After all, we aren't the first newlyweds on his train, Mrs. Webster.
00:05:51Call me that again.
00:05:54Mrs. Webster.
00:05:55That sounds so wonderful.
00:05:57You know, I was beginning to doubt whether I was ever going to get to hear that.
00:06:01You just try and get away now.
00:06:04Will there be anything else, sir?
00:06:06Oh, no, no, thanks.
00:06:09Thank you very much.
00:06:10Thank you, sir. Thank you.
00:06:11Good night, sir.
00:06:12Good night.
00:06:17Good night.
00:06:32I love you so much.
00:06:36Why did we have to wait so long?
00:06:39Well, I...
00:06:41I wrote you after I cracked up my plan.
00:06:43And scared me half out of my wits.
00:06:45You wouldn't believe what that hospital doctor told me when I called.
00:06:51What do you mean?
00:06:53Well, according to him, you were more dead than alive.
00:06:57Almost every bone broken.
00:06:59Completely torn, mangled, smashed.
00:07:02And you don't think it was true?
00:07:05Well, now, how could I?
00:07:07Look at you.
00:07:08You haven't got a mark.
00:07:10You haven't got a scar.
00:07:12You're much more handsome than ever.
00:07:15Do you know that nobody would believe you were even in the plane crash?
00:07:20But it was true, though, Joyce.
00:07:24By our rights, I should be dead.
00:07:27You don't mean that.
00:07:30Look, Joyce.
00:07:32You have a right to know I...
00:07:34I should have told you before we were married.
00:07:37Told me what?
00:07:39How it was, really.
00:07:42Why I made us wait so long.
00:07:45You see, honey...
00:07:49Who is it?
00:07:50It's me again.
00:07:51I have some more wine.
00:07:53And nobody was supposed to know we were even on this train.
00:07:56Come in.
00:07:59Here you are, miss.
00:08:01Here, you open this.
00:08:02You folks certainly must be popular.
00:08:04Especially with the telegraph company.
00:08:10Oh.
00:08:11Something wrong?
00:08:12It's from the girls at the hospital where I worked.
00:08:15You know, there's such a thing as being too well-informed.
00:08:18May I?
00:08:19You may not.
00:08:21Those night devils.
00:08:23Very nice.
00:08:24An old buddy of mine.
00:08:26I didn't know we had so many friends.
00:08:28Me either.
00:08:35Oh, that's nice.
00:08:36Oh.
00:08:43Good.
00:08:50When's the next stop?
00:08:51Well, let's see.
00:08:53Yeah, 33 minutes.
00:08:55No?
00:08:56No, it's 35 minutes.
00:08:58Well, let's see.
00:09:00Well, let's see.
00:09:01Well, let's see.
00:09:03Well, let's see.
00:09:04Well, let's see.
00:09:05Oh, it's 35 minutes.
00:09:06We're two minutes behind time.
00:09:08Not until then.
00:09:09Well, actually, there's a mail pickup stop just up ahead.
00:09:11That's why we're slowing down.
00:09:13But is there a phone?
00:09:14Yes, yes.
00:09:15We only stop for half a minute.
00:09:17No time for anyone to leave the train.
00:09:20Just so there's a phone.
00:09:23Paul, what's wrong?
00:09:25Please, honey, tell me what's so important.
00:09:27Paul, I don't understand.
00:09:31Please explain.
00:09:46Paul?
00:09:48Paul, hurry!
00:09:57Paul!
00:10:11Paul!
00:10:12Paul, hurry!
00:10:17Hurry, hurry!
00:10:22Oh, open it!
00:10:27Stop the train!
00:10:40It's supposed to be the happiest moment of my life.
00:10:43My wedding.
00:10:45And I just see my husband's face for the last time.
00:10:49What did you do then, Joyce?
00:10:52I was frantic.
00:10:54I got off at the next stop.
00:10:56I went back to that platform.
00:10:59But there was no sign of Paul.
00:11:01Nothing.
00:11:03No one had placed a call.
00:11:05No one had seen him.
00:11:06He'd just vanished.
00:11:08And then what happened?
00:11:14You wouldn't believe it was possible, would you?
00:11:19A man you thought you knew so well.
00:11:24Had married even.
00:11:26Could just...
00:11:28Disappear.
00:11:31Completely.
00:11:35Even after talking to all the people who knew him.
00:11:40Finding nothing at his last address.
00:11:43He told the police.
00:11:46Hired private detectives.
00:11:48Checked with the army.
00:11:50The only address they had was a...
00:11:53Apartment hotel.
00:11:54What about where he was born?
00:11:56His family?
00:11:59The army records said Georgia.
00:12:03Paul had never mentioned his family.
00:12:06I never thought to ask him.
00:12:09I loved him.
00:12:11That's all that seemed to matter.
00:12:14Still you did find something.
00:12:19Once later.
00:12:20Going through Paul's things as I...
00:12:24Had a hundred times.
00:12:29His fraternity pen.
00:12:31And how did that help?
00:12:34I checked with the headquarters.
00:12:37Wrote them.
00:12:40They told me that Paul had belonged to that chapter.
00:12:44At Louisiana State University.
00:12:46So.
00:12:48I went there.
00:12:51They let me look at the records.
00:12:54I found an...
00:12:56Address.
00:12:58Paul had given them when he enrolled in college.
00:13:03And where was that?
00:13:08Bayou Landing.
00:13:09Bayou Landing.
00:13:13A whistle stop in the middle of the Louisiana swamp country.
00:13:18I was the only passenger to get off.
00:13:21Strangely there wasn't another soul to be seen.
00:13:26The only evidence of life was a deserted day coach on the siding.
00:13:31Looking as alone and...
00:13:33Out of place as I felt.
00:13:35Out of place as I felt.
00:14:05Well, I'll be.
00:14:08Somebody meeting you here, sweetheart?
00:14:11No.
00:14:12I thought...
00:14:14That is, I hoped somebody would come to pick up this.
00:14:16Well, that's me.
00:14:18You just didn't get off.
00:14:21You must have had some good reason.
00:14:25Do you know a place?
00:14:27I think I know a place.
00:14:29I've been there.
00:14:31I've been there.
00:14:32Do you know a place?
00:14:34I think it's a plantation called the Cypresses.
00:14:37Uh-huh.
00:14:39Would it be too much trouble to take me there?
00:14:41I'd gladly pay you.
00:14:43They don't never have no visitors.
00:14:46Was they expecting you?
00:14:48No.
00:14:49Not exactly.
00:14:51But...
00:14:52They will know who I am.
00:14:57Well, for you, sweetheart...
00:15:00I'll take a chance.
00:15:02Go ahead. Just climb in.
00:15:05Go on. Climb in.
00:15:32Come on.
00:16:02Come on.
00:16:32Come on.
00:17:02I bet you've never seen nothing like that before.
00:17:11You ever been in a wild country before?
00:17:15It's so wild.
00:17:16It's so primitive.
00:17:18Yeah.
00:17:19And deadly.
00:17:21I bet you've never seen anything like that before.
00:17:24I bet you've never seen anything like that before.
00:17:27It's so wild.
00:17:28It's so primitive.
00:17:30Yeah.
00:17:31And deadly.
00:17:33You know how long you'd last if you got a hundred yards off of this road?
00:17:38Maybe ten minutes.
00:17:39If the quicksand didn't get you,
00:17:41the moccasins would.
00:17:44Then...
00:17:46Then there's always a gator, sir.
00:17:50Dirty, nasty, slimy thing!
00:18:31Why did you have to do that?
00:18:33He wasn't doing you any harm.
00:18:35Oh?
00:18:36Well, how do you suppose I got this?
00:18:40Anyway, baby, we didn't do him no harm.
00:19:01Come on.
00:19:31Yes, miss?
00:19:32I beg your pardon.
00:19:33I just arrived on the train.
00:19:36The train was hours ago.
00:19:37I know.
00:19:39Were you expected?
00:19:40I did write,
00:19:41but my letter came back unopened,
00:19:42so I decided...
00:19:43What is it, Toby?
00:19:44This young person, ma'am,
00:19:45she just arrived and...
00:19:46Have her come in.
00:19:47Yes, ma'am.
00:19:48Yes, ma'am.
00:19:49Yes, ma'am.
00:19:50Yes, ma'am.
00:19:51Yes, ma'am.
00:19:52Yes, ma'am.
00:19:53Yes, ma'am.
00:19:54Yes, ma'am.
00:19:55Yes, ma'am.
00:19:56Yes, ma'am.
00:19:57Yes, ma'am.
00:19:58Yes, ma'am.
00:19:59Yes, ma'am.
00:20:00All right, everybody.
00:20:01Have her come in.
00:20:10Yes?
00:20:11What is it?
00:20:12This is your place?
00:20:14Of course.
00:20:16Well, maybe you can help me.
00:20:18You see, for a long time,
00:20:20I've been looking for my husband.
00:20:22He disappeared the night we were married.
00:20:25I've searched everywhere.
00:20:27I've tried everything.
00:20:29And this is my last hope.
00:20:32Why should you come here?
00:20:35At the university, I checked the records.
00:20:38And at one time, he gave this as his address, the Cypresses.
00:20:42What is your name, my dear?
00:20:45Mrs. Paul Webster.
00:20:53And you say that your husband, this Paul Webster,
00:20:57gave this as his address?
00:20:58According to the records.
00:21:01Whoever you are, I don't know what your gain is,
00:21:04coming here, making up fantastic stories.
00:21:06Why, it's the truth.
00:21:07I can prove it.
00:21:08You can ask anyone.
00:21:09Why should I ask anyone or care one way or the other?
00:21:13Of what possible interest could your sordid little lie
00:21:16be to me?
00:21:18I was hoping your name was Webster.
00:21:21I am Mrs. Henry Hawthorne.
00:21:24And your husband?
00:21:25I'm a widow.
00:21:28I'm sorry to bother you, Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:21:31But I had to know.
00:21:33Perhaps you are telling the truth.
00:21:35It really doesn't matter.
00:21:37However, I must ask you to leave at once.
00:21:40Toby, get a hold of Manon.
00:21:42Have him drive her back to the station.
00:21:44But, ma'am.
00:21:45What is it, Toby?
00:21:46There won't be a train till tomorrow.
00:21:48Oh, you're right.
00:21:48Of course.
00:21:53May we offer you the hospitality of the Cypresses
00:21:56for the night?
00:21:58I don't seem to have any choice, do I?
00:22:02Luanne.
00:22:04Yes, ma'am.
00:22:06Show Mrs. uh, what was your name again?
00:22:10Mrs. Paul Webster.
00:22:13Show Mrs. Webster to the guest room.
00:22:17Yes, ma'am.
00:22:18Anything you need to be comfortable, just ask, Luanne.
00:22:24One minute, Mrs. Webster.
00:22:27While you're our guest for the night only,
00:22:29I must insist on one thing.
00:22:31Yes?
00:22:33Under no circumstances will you leave your room.
00:22:39As I said before, I don't seem to have any choice, do I?
00:22:55There was something sinister about the Cypresses.
00:22:59As night darkened the house, all the doubts and fears
00:23:02which had haunted the long, lonely miles of my search
00:23:05returned.
00:23:09What secret was Mrs. Hawthorne hiding
00:23:11in this strange, unfriendly house?
00:23:15Why had she told me not to leave my room?
00:23:18Toby!
00:23:20Toby!
00:23:22Find the drunken fool.
00:23:23Tell him to stop that shooting.
00:23:25But, ma'am.
00:23:26Doesn't he realize the girl's still here?
00:23:29I'll try, ma'am.
00:23:30I haven't got time to waste on scary figures, must I?
00:23:34Night will come.
00:23:37Come after me!
00:23:39Come up, Toby.
00:23:40Come up!
00:23:49Please.
00:23:51Please don't do it, Mr. Irvine.
00:23:54I want you to see a grime.
00:23:56What is it?
00:23:58I'm gonna spend the rest of my life killin' gators.
00:24:22The rest of my life, killin' them.
00:24:25Come on, you better stop it.
00:24:34Mrs. Hawthorne says stop.
00:24:36She says she don't want you shootin' gators on here with that girl here.
00:24:40That's the one you brought.
00:24:42I ain't never gonna stop shootin' gators.
00:24:45They bit my hand off, didn't they?
00:24:48I ain't never gonna stop shootin' gators.
00:24:51No, not never.
00:24:57Sure, sure, I know just how you feel.
00:25:00I don't like them either.
00:25:01Not tonight, come on.
00:25:21Do all the guests get room service?
00:25:24I only do what Mrs. Hawthorne tell me, ma'am.
00:25:27Now, will there be anything else?
00:25:30Luann, those gunshots, what were they all about?
00:25:35I don't know, ma'am.
00:25:36I must go, ma'am.
00:25:37Luann, wait, wait, please.
00:25:39Somebody has to help me.
00:25:41How, ma'am?
00:25:42Is it true everything she told me?
00:25:44Have I come to the wrong place?
00:25:45I can't.
00:25:47I wouldn't like to say anything, ma'am.
00:25:49Well, can't you tell me anything?
00:25:51I can tell you this.
00:25:54This is a trouble house.
00:25:57Real, deep, big trouble.
00:26:00Like the old country woman in big bios say,
00:26:03Miss Hawthorne, she deal with the evil one.
00:26:06She got big sorrow.
00:26:09Just like you'll get if you stay here.
00:26:12Go, child.
00:26:13Please, go.
00:26:15This is a trouble house.
00:26:19Real, deep, big trouble.
00:26:38Yes?
00:26:39Oh, thank goodness you're back, Mark.
00:26:42Anything wrong, Vinnie?
00:26:44She's here, Mark.
00:26:45Paul's wife.
00:26:47How did she find us?
00:26:48School records.
00:26:50It was like being struck by lightning.
00:26:52We've got to decide what we're going to do about her.
00:26:55You wait there for me.
00:26:56I'll be right over.
00:27:17Come on.
00:27:48Ready, doctor?
00:27:49Yes.
00:28:18Poor devil.
00:28:20You didn't have to hit him.
00:28:22Quickest, simplest way, doctor.
00:28:24But these are people.
00:28:25You don't handle them like animals.
00:28:28How did it happen?
00:28:30Only thing I can figure out, someone forgot to
00:28:32water him down on time.
00:28:34When he comes to, give him additional
00:28:36hydro spray therapy.
00:28:38Yes, sir.
00:28:47Come on.
00:29:03Mark!
00:29:12Oh, hello, Vinnie.
00:29:13We've just had an emergency with number six.
00:29:16Is he all right now?
00:29:17He's quiet, yes.
00:29:19But the girl, what are we going to do about her?
00:29:22So she found his school records.
00:29:24The one thing we hadn't thought of.
00:29:26Such bad luck.
00:29:27Not entirely.
00:29:29I think we both knew she was bound to find out eventually.
00:29:32It's just unfortunate it happened to be so soon.
00:29:35But we need time, so much time.
00:29:38If she should tell anyone, the police,
00:29:41it would spoil our last chance.
00:29:43Do we have a chance?
00:29:45I don't really know.
00:29:47I feel so helpless, Vinnie.
00:29:50We know so little.
00:29:52So little.
00:29:53What about the cobalt treatment?
00:29:55I said reaction to x-ray was encouraging.
00:29:58Massive radiation from cobalt-60
00:30:01might be even more effective.
00:30:03Well, you have the cobalt bomb.
00:30:04It arrived today.
00:30:05But don't you see, Vinnie,
00:30:07before I can take the chance with a human being,
00:30:09there must be months of tests,
00:30:11hundreds of animal experiments.
00:30:14We took a chance once before, Vinnie.
00:30:18No one knows better than you
00:30:20the tragic result.
00:30:22I have confidence in you, Mark.
00:30:24Every confidence.
00:30:26You'll have time.
00:30:27All the time you need.
00:30:30The girl will leave on the morning train.
00:30:33I'll be over before that to talk to her.
00:30:37I'm as anxious as you are to have her go.
00:30:40But we must make absolutely sure
00:30:43that she doesn't know anything.
00:31:44Somehow, I seem drawn to the music.
00:31:47A theme that I had heard before.
00:31:50Somewhere.
00:31:53Who else lived in this strange household?
00:31:57Who could be playing in the dead of night?
00:32:02I couldn't rid myself of the premonition
00:32:06that I was going to die.
00:32:09I couldn't rid myself of the premonition
00:32:12that each step was taking me closer
00:32:15to the secret contained in this shadowy house.
00:32:20I had to know.
00:32:22I had to find out.
00:32:39I had to find out.
00:33:09Who was he, this man who had been playing?
00:33:13And why would he run away into the swamp when he saw me?
00:33:19Muddy footprints.
00:33:21Yet there'd been no rain.
00:33:25And the piano keys still wet from his fingers.
00:33:40What's she doing here?
00:33:42I don't know.
00:33:43She came on the train today.
00:33:45No notice, no warning.
00:33:47And you would let her stay?
00:33:49What could I do?
00:33:50I couldn't turn her out in the swamp.
00:33:52Do you think I wanted her here?
00:33:54There's no train until tomorrow.
00:33:56How'd you find out?
00:33:57She was in the hall.
00:33:59Downstairs?
00:34:01I locked her in her room.
00:34:03She's got to leave us.
00:34:05She's got to leave on that morning train tomorrow.
00:34:35Oh, my God.
00:34:36Oh, my God.
00:34:37Oh, my God.
00:34:38Oh, my God.
00:34:39Oh, my God.
00:34:40Oh, my God.

00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:31Oh, my God.
00:35:32Oh, my God.
00:35:33Oh, my God.
00:35:34Oh, my God.
00:35:45None of us will be here.
00:35:47Why?
00:35:48Well, a few million years ago,
00:35:50most of the land of the earth must have looked just about like this.
00:35:54A great, vast swamp.
00:35:56It was the cradle of life, where we all started.
00:36:00In the slime and ooze, the bottom of a swamp.
00:36:03You're completely cynical, aren't you, Doctor?
00:36:06I imagine that did sound a bit depressing.
00:36:09I didn't mean it to.
00:36:11I'm sorry.
00:36:14Oh, is Mrs. Hawthorne inside?
00:36:17Well, she hasn't come down yet.
00:36:20Has she been ill, Doctor?
00:36:22Well, not exactly.
00:36:25Vinnie, Mrs. Hawthorne, has a few emotional problems.
00:36:29I like to look in from time to time.
00:36:32Well, maybe that explains it.
00:36:34Explains what?
00:36:36Why she locked me in my room last night.
00:36:39I don't understand.
00:36:41I took you for a guest of Vinnie's.
00:36:44I suppose I am, in a way.
00:36:46I'm Mrs. Webster.
00:36:49Mrs. Paul Webster.
00:36:53That name doesn't mean anything to you?
00:36:56No.
00:36:58Should it?
00:36:59I don't know.
00:37:01Let me explain, Doctor.
00:37:03Since my husband disappeared, I've done nothing but search for him.
00:37:06And I'm going to keep on asking questions.
00:37:09What brings you here?
00:37:11An old address.
00:37:13The Cypresses.
00:37:15That I found in Paul's college records.
00:37:17You came way down here.
00:37:19Travelled hundreds of miles.
00:37:21Or nothing more tangible than that.
00:37:23I'd travel much farther.
00:37:24On even less.
00:37:26I find that difficult to believe.
00:37:28You must have found other evidence.
00:37:31Why?
00:37:33Unless there is other evidence.
00:37:35Is that what you mean?
00:37:36Of course not.
00:37:37I was only trying to...
00:37:38You did know Paul, didn't you, Doctor?
00:37:40I can tell.
00:37:42What is it, Doctor?
00:37:44Why won't any of you tell me about him?
00:37:47What are you all trying to hide?
00:37:49My dear young lady, you're obviously overwrought.
00:37:52Well, that's understandable in the circumstances.
00:37:54I wish I could help.
00:37:56Will you tell Mrs. Hawthorne I couldn't wait?
00:37:59But I will drop back later.
00:38:07Be extremely careful.
00:38:10It generates 3,000 curie units of gamma ray energy.
00:38:15This is the equivalent of 6 million electron volts of X-ray.
00:38:21A few seconds of direct exposure would be fatal.
00:38:27Stand by.
00:38:29This is the equivalent of 6 million electron volts of X-ray.
00:38:34A few seconds of direct exposure would be fatal.
00:38:39Stand by for lowering position.
00:39:00Lower position.
00:39:26Luann, come here.
00:39:28Yes, ma'am.
00:39:29Her things are still in her room.
00:39:31Yes, ma'am.
00:39:32You mean she didn't leave?
00:39:34Well, Toby, he brought the car train time,
00:39:36but Miss Webster, she wouldn't go.
00:39:38Well, where is she?
00:39:40Well, I believe she in there.
00:39:49What are you doing?
00:39:51Looking for answers.
00:39:53Answers?
00:39:54You abused my hospitality.
00:39:56You were to stay in your room.
00:39:57You left it.
00:39:58You promised to leave on the train.
00:40:00I made no promise.
00:40:01I was told.
00:40:03I'm not leaving here, Mrs. Hawthorne,
00:40:04until I get the answers to the questions that brought me here.
00:40:07I told you yesterday you were mistaken.
00:40:10I think you're lying.
00:40:12You can't talk to me like that.
00:40:14I can say a lot worse.
00:40:16You had Dr. Sinclair come and talk to me today, didn't you?
00:40:19Why?
00:40:20To find out how much I knew?
00:40:22I know nothing about that.
00:40:24And another thing.
00:40:25Who was playing the piano in here last night?
00:40:28In the dark?
00:40:30Someone who left wet footprints in the carpet?
00:40:33Oh, you're imagining things.
00:40:34No, I'm not.
00:40:35Any more than I'm imagining, you want to get rid of me.
00:40:38But you've got something to hide.
00:40:40Hide?
00:40:41Oh, what could I possibly have to hide?
00:40:43What have you done with my husband?
00:40:45I still don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:47You did a good job, Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:40:49Wiping out every trace of Paul in his own home.
00:40:52And you almost got away with it.
00:40:54Got away with it?
00:40:55Got away with what?
00:40:57Whatever terrible thing you've done with Paul.
00:41:01Done to him?
00:41:02Me?
00:41:03Oh, my God, that's funny.
00:41:05That really is funny.
00:41:08I'd be the last one ever to hurt Paul.
00:41:14I'm his mother.
00:41:18His mother?
00:41:22Oh, my God.
00:41:53Mother, has she gone?
00:41:57No, Paul, she hasn't.
00:41:59Paul, what is it?
00:42:00What happened?
00:42:02Paul!
00:42:08Paul, come back!
00:42:13Paul!
00:42:14Please!
00:42:22Paul!
00:42:40Paul!
00:42:41Paul!
00:42:51Paul!
00:43:11Paul!
00:43:17Paul!
00:43:20Paul!
00:43:29Paul!
00:43:34Paul!
00:43:41Paul!
00:43:46Paul!
00:44:00Paul!
00:44:06Paul!
00:44:07Paul!
00:44:12Paul!
00:44:13Paul!
00:44:22You ought to have better sense, sweetheart.
00:44:25Nobody goes out in a swamp on a night like this.
00:44:28Especially a night like this.
00:44:32Come on.
00:44:33I'll take you back to the house.
00:44:42Sit down.
00:44:43Now, you sit down.
00:44:45You sit down.
00:44:46That's it.
00:44:48What you need's a drink.
00:44:55Me, too.
00:45:12I don't understand.
00:45:14Why you brought me here?
00:45:16Well, I just naturally figured you'd appreciate me saving you from that snake.
00:45:20I do.
00:45:23Here.
00:45:24Have a drink.
00:45:25I don't think I want it.
00:45:27Go on, baby.
00:45:28It'll do you good.
00:45:35That's it.
00:45:41Made it myself.
00:45:48Hey.
00:45:50You're cold.
00:45:54You ought to get them wet things off.
00:45:57Hey, go ahead.
00:46:12Come on.
00:46:14Get them off.
00:46:17I'll be all right.
00:46:19Thanks.
00:46:22All right, baby.
00:46:24Here.
00:46:26You get up.
00:46:28We'll wrap this around you.
00:46:30So you won't catch cold.
00:46:32Now, come on.
00:46:33Get up.
00:46:35That's it.
00:46:37That's it.
00:46:39That's it.
00:46:41Stop!
00:46:43What's the matter, baby?
00:46:45Huh?
00:46:46Didn't I save your life?
00:46:48Don't you feel like you owe me something?
00:46:50Why, sure you do.
00:46:52You'd be nice to me.
00:46:54Maybe I'll tell you some things about this place.
00:46:59Who are you?
00:47:02Don't do that.
00:47:04Don't ever do that.
00:47:31Don't do that.
00:48:01Ah!
00:48:03Ah!
00:48:32I'll kill you, alligator man!
00:48:35Just like I'd kill any four-legged gator!
00:48:38You hear me?
00:48:40I'll kill you!
00:48:49Oh, Pa, what happened?
00:48:51She's not dead.
00:48:53Man, he was drunk.
00:48:55We should have fired him before.
00:48:57Toby, let's go.
00:49:00Toby, carry her upstairs.
00:49:02Luanne, try and take care of her.
00:49:04Yes, ma'am.
00:49:07We can't keep her in the dark any longer, Pa.
00:49:10I can't do anything.
00:49:12She could have been killed tonight.
00:49:13Is that what you want?
00:49:14I love her, Mother.
00:49:16Well, that's why she has to know.
00:49:18Are you going to tell her?
00:49:19I couldn't.
00:49:21I'll phone Dr. Sinclair.
00:49:22He'll know what to say.
00:49:24Why didn't he just let me die?
00:49:27It'll work out somehow, Pa.
00:49:30There has to be an answer.
00:49:32There just has to be.
00:49:49Mark.
00:49:52Pa.
00:49:53I understand it came.
00:49:55The Cobalt-60 arrived yesterday.
00:49:58When do we try it?
00:50:00Not for months.
00:50:02I explained to your mother.
00:50:04Combined with the X-ray generator,
00:50:06the bomb will approach the power of a Beverton.
00:50:09A billion electron volts.
00:50:11So without extensive experimentation...
00:50:13But there's no time for that.
00:50:15I want it now.
00:50:18You don't think I'd take the risk
00:50:20after the tragedy I've caused already.
00:50:23But you're causing a worse one to my wife.
00:50:26You said yourself the X-ray was definitely helping.
00:50:30Slight positive indications, yes.
00:50:32Then combining X-ray with gamma radiation from the Cobalt
00:50:35might cure me completely.
00:50:37And it might kill you.
00:50:39Pa.
00:50:41Who knows?
00:50:43I just can't do it, Pa.
00:50:46It's too great a risk.
00:50:48We wouldn't be alive at all,
00:50:50any of us except for you.
00:50:53We'd probably be better off dead, but...
00:50:58If you can't turn me down, you owe me this chance.
00:51:01Whatever chance there is.
00:51:04For my wife's sake, I want it now!
00:51:07Not tonight!
00:51:10I'll need at least a day to test it on live alligators.
00:51:14To establish some sort of control standards.
00:51:17You've just got to understand, Pa.
00:51:20I haven't the slightest idea what will happen.
00:51:25Tomorrow night.
00:51:29Tomorrow night.
00:51:31Pa.
00:51:33Your mother phoned about your wife.
00:51:36You should have told her, Pa.
00:51:40I couldn't.
00:51:42The thought of Joyce ever seeing me like this, I just couldn't.
00:51:46I've agreed to talk to Joyce in the morning.
00:51:49She's going to know everything.
00:52:02Now get the big one.

00:52:50You're Mrs. Webster?
00:52:52Yes.
00:52:54Dr. Sinclair is expecting me.
00:52:56Well, the doctor said for you to wait in his office.

00:54:38Take him out.
00:54:40Put him in a cage alone.
00:54:42We'll run the test series on him in an hour.
00:54:45And bring in another specimen.
00:54:48I hope you'll excuse me, Mrs. Webster.
00:54:50Keeping you waiting.
00:54:52This experiment was urgent.
00:54:54The most urgent of my life.
00:54:59So you're a trained nurse, Mrs. Webster?
00:55:01Yes. Yes, that's right.
00:55:03Good.
00:55:05Then you know something of the life processes of the higher and lower orders.
00:55:09In species like ourselves, with a highly developed nervous system,
00:55:13bodily functions are controlled principally by the brain and the nerves.
00:55:17But in creatures with a less complex nervous development,
00:55:21life processes are governed by chemical substances,
00:55:25secreted by ductless glands,
00:55:28and carried in the bloodstream.
00:55:30Like hormones.
00:55:32Being a doctor, I was tremendously impressed
00:55:35by the healing power of just one hormone.
00:55:38Hydrocortisone.
00:55:40And it occurred to me how much more potent this hormone would be
00:55:44in a creature with a simpler nervous system,
00:55:47one that depended on that hormone to live.
00:55:50For example, there are some small lizards
00:55:54that when attacked, detach their tails completely.
00:55:58Yet in a very short time,
00:56:00well, this little fellow was well on his way to growing a new one.
00:56:05There are even one or two species that can replace an entire limb
00:56:09if they've lost one.
00:56:14Here's something intriguing.
00:56:16Two similar muscular charts.
00:56:19You might take them for the same animal.
00:56:21But as you know, this is a man, this is an alligator.
00:56:25This is all very interesting, Doctor, but you were going to tell me about Paul.
00:56:30Everything I've said concerns Paul.
00:56:33I knew I'd found my life's work.
00:56:35I wanted to extract this wonderful reptilian substance
00:56:38and use it to cure human injuries.
00:56:41Mrs. Hawthorne, she was still Mrs. Webster then.
00:56:45She remarried after Paul's father died.
00:56:48Mrs. Hawthorne financed my researches and set up this clinic.
00:56:52Did you succeed?
00:56:54I isolated a protein chemical
00:56:57from the anterior pituitary glands of crocodilians.
00:57:01A common variety is the alligator.
00:57:04Alligator?
00:57:06I injected this substance into the veins of volunteers.
00:57:10Horribly injured, hopelessly mangled accident victims on the point of death.
00:57:15It was miraculous, Mrs. Webster.
00:57:18Not only did those dying men and women live,
00:57:21but in an incredibly short time, they were completely whole.
00:57:25Mangled limbs as good as new.
00:57:28As if they'd never been injured.
00:57:30And Paul was one of these?
00:57:32The worst of the lot.
00:57:34There was scarcely a bone in his body that wasn't broken.
00:57:37Face completely gone.
00:57:40Horribly burned.
00:57:43Nobody would even know you were in a plane crash.
00:57:48That's what I said to Paul the night we were married.
00:57:51Can you imagine my feelings?
00:57:54I thought I'd stumbled on the medical miracle of the ages.
00:57:58It certainly seems so.
00:58:00Then, over a year later...
00:58:03Doctor, can you come right away?
00:58:05It's number six again.
00:58:07Excuse me. I'll be back soon.
00:58:11Maybe you'd better come along, too.
00:58:28Another sedative, Doctor?
00:58:31No.
00:58:32I'm afraid the brain tissues have been affected.
00:58:35Try the sunray.
00:58:37Yes, Doctor.
00:58:55Who are these?
00:58:57My prized patients.
00:58:59My medical miracles.
00:59:01Then these symptoms are...
00:59:03The aftereffects.
00:59:05They began to appear in varying degrees about a year after the treatment.
00:59:09Why? How?
00:59:11Isn't it obvious?
00:59:13There was an additional secretion in the pituitary injection.
00:59:17Besides the healing hormones.
00:59:19Something I didn't know about.
00:59:21But in its way, even more powerful.
00:59:24And the sunray?
00:59:26The sunray has a strong depressive effect on reptiles.
00:59:31It makes them lethargic.
00:59:34Dormant.
00:59:39Reptiles?
00:59:42But these aren't...
00:59:49They are, aren't they?
00:59:54Your patients are turning into...
01:00:00Alligators.
01:00:02In effect, you can say that.
01:00:06Alligator people.
01:00:08And Paul?
01:00:09His symptoms were the last to appear.
01:00:12When his final test proved positive,
01:00:15I had to wire him on the train.
01:00:19He's quiet now.
01:00:22We can go.
01:00:36Is there any hope for...
01:00:38For the people?
01:00:40There may be a possible chance.
01:00:42But a slight one.
01:00:44Shot in the dark and...
01:00:46Shot in the dark and...
01:00:48Very dangerous.
01:00:50Your husband insists on taking that chance.
01:00:53Tonight.
01:00:54What is it?
01:00:56Massive radiation.
01:00:58Gamma rays from a cobalt bomb.
01:01:00Combined with high-intensity X-rays.
01:01:03They've already noted in Paul
01:01:05definite positive reactions to X-ray treatment.
01:01:08But what will happen with this?
01:01:11I don't know.
01:01:13I want to be here.
01:01:14I don't think that's wise...
01:01:15I want to be here.
01:01:16I want to see Paul.
01:01:17I want to talk to him before...
01:01:21You can't keep me away, Doctor.
01:01:24No, I guess I can't.
01:01:27Maybe I haven't even got the right...
01:01:44I'm sorry.
01:02:10Paul, please!
01:02:11Don't run away again.
01:02:13Dr. Sinclair explained you were coming tonight.
01:02:15Why?
01:02:16I wanted to be here.
01:02:20Paul, it doesn't make any difference.
01:02:23I'm your wife and I love you.
01:02:26Oh, Paul, darling.
01:02:28You know all about tonight.
01:02:33Dr. Sinclair explained.
01:02:35He told me about the X-ray treatments
01:02:37and how much better you are.
01:02:39I know this will do it, Paul.
01:02:41My radiation therapy works wonders.
01:02:44It'll have to.
01:02:47You'll come out of that laboratory as handsome as ever.
01:02:53Joyce.
01:02:56I love you, you know that.
01:02:58I wouldn't have done this to you, let you see me.
01:03:00I'd rather have died.
01:03:02Paul, please.
01:03:04Don't say that.
01:03:11We're ready, Paul.
01:03:15If you still want to.
01:03:18I still want to.
01:03:22Very well.
01:03:27Stand by for lowering position.
01:03:41Ready, Paul?
01:03:42Ready.
01:03:43Oh, Paul.
01:03:44Do you have to do this?
01:03:46Take this chance, knowing the danger?
01:03:48Whatever happens, either way,
01:03:50I'm better off than the way I am now.
01:03:53I'm going to die.
01:03:55I'm going to die.
01:03:57I'm going to die.
01:03:59I'm going to die.
01:04:01I'm going to die.
01:04:03I'm going to die.
01:04:05I'm going to die.
01:04:07I'm going to die.
01:04:09I'm going to die.
01:04:10Now.
01:04:22Oh, Paul.
01:04:26I'm sorry for the way I treated you.
01:04:29Paul was so desperate to keep you from knowing.
01:04:31We did everything we could.
01:04:33Now that I know you,
01:04:35I'm sure we were wrong.
01:04:37I'm sorry.
01:04:40Terribly sorry.
01:04:54Magnon!
01:04:55Where is he?
01:04:56Who?
01:04:57Paul.
01:04:58He's not here.
01:04:59You get out of here.
01:05:00Miss Hawthorne ordered you off this place for good.
01:05:03I know where he is.
01:05:04Where he's gotta be.
01:05:06Put the gun down!
01:05:07Now you go on!
01:05:08Get out!
01:05:37Controls and timing must be precise.
01:05:41When you're dealing with radioactivity
01:05:44and millions of volts of energy,
01:05:47the slightest deviation from standard,
01:05:49even a few seconds of excess time,
01:05:52and anything might happen.
01:05:56What's the exposure interval, doctor?
01:05:59No more than 30 seconds.
01:06:02Absolute maximum.
01:06:04I determined that on my test alligators.
01:06:07Definitely.
01:06:0930 seconds.
01:06:11No more.
01:06:23Paul?
01:06:25Yes?
01:06:27I'll never be able to tell you
01:06:29how sorry I am.
01:06:33Don't blame yourself.
01:06:35I certainly don't.
01:06:38You could know everything.
01:06:41You're not God, Mark.
01:06:43I feel as if I've been playing at it
01:06:46and been punished.
01:06:48I get it.
01:06:50You all right?
01:06:53Fine.
01:06:55Keep your eyes closed.
01:06:57Just relax.
01:07:02Come on.
01:07:33Where is he?
01:07:35Who do you want?
01:07:36That two-legged gator, Paul.
01:07:38You better get out of here.
01:07:40Wait!
01:07:41You can't go in there.
01:07:42Adam!
01:07:43You were ordered to leave.
01:07:44You have no right here.
01:07:46Now get out.
01:07:47Where is he?
01:07:48I know you got him here someplace.
01:07:50I forbid you to go in there.
01:07:53Oh.
01:07:55So he is here, huh?
01:07:59Get him out of here!
01:08:01Where are you?
01:08:02You're the one who's caught!
01:08:03Get out of here!
01:08:14Oh, that's where you are!
01:08:21He can't!
01:08:22He can't go in there!
01:08:25He can't!
01:08:26He can't go in there!
01:08:45No, you ain't him.
01:08:50You can't be him!
01:08:54You can't be him!
01:08:57You can't-
01:08:58You can't be him!
01:09:00You can't be him!
01:09:01Get out!
01:09:03You can't be him!
01:09:04You can't be him!
01:09:13You ain't me!
01:09:15You ain't nobody!
01:09:19I'm the one who's caught.
01:09:21I'm the one who's caught!
01:09:22Johnny!
01:09:52Pa!
01:10:22Pa!
01:10:52Pa!
01:11:13Pa!
01:11:15Pa!
01:11:17Pa!
01:11:22Pa!
01:11:52Pa!
01:11:54Pa!
01:11:56Ma!
01:11:58Ma!
01:12:00Pa!
01:12:09Pa!
01:12:11Pa!
01:12:13Pa!
01:12:15Pa!
01:12:17Pa!
01:12:19Pa!
01:12:21that everything she said was true.
01:12:23She was married to a Paul Webster who did crash in a plane.
01:12:26And there was a Dr. Mark Sinclair who has since disappeared.
01:12:30Do you believe her story?
01:12:32That's not important.
01:12:34Eric, we were both taught that a psychiatrist's function
01:12:38is to find mental illness and to cure it.
01:12:40As simple as that.
01:12:41Obviously.
01:12:42On Jane's case, this girl has lived
01:12:44through a horrible experience, true or not.
01:12:47But she has made a satisfactory adjustment.
01:12:49She lives a normal, useful, happy life
01:12:51by completely suppressing it.
01:12:53An obvious anxiety neurosis and amnesia suppression.
01:12:58You didn't need me to tell you that.
01:13:00No, of course not.
01:13:01But what am I going to do, Eric?
01:13:03Shall I let her go on as she is now or attempt to cure?
01:13:06Now, all I've got to do is bring her back in here
01:13:09and play back that tape.
01:13:11Yes, and perhaps shock her into a complete withdrawal.
01:13:14Yes.
01:13:16I don't know, Wayne.
01:13:18I honestly don't know.
01:13:21Excuse me, doctor.
01:13:22I'm going off duty unless there's something else.
01:13:26All right.
01:13:30Oh, Jane, one moment.
01:13:33Well?
01:13:36Yes, doctor.
01:13:39That's all, Jane.
01:13:40Good night.
01:13:41Good night, doctor.
01:13:42Good night, Dr. Lorimer.
01:13:44Good night, Jane.
