00:01:00The End
00:01:30At first, all I could see was this face coming toward me.
00:01:38Then I saw the room.
00:01:41A queer mirror drill.
00:01:43And somehow, I was inside it.
00:01:58There was danger there.
00:02:00I knew that.
00:02:02I wanted to turn and run, but I couldn't.
00:02:05It seemed as if my brain was handcuffed.
00:02:07And I had to do what I'd come to do.
00:02:09I had to do what I'd come to do.

00:05:07THE END
00:05:09THE END
00:05:11Talk about your realistic dreams.
00:05:14I couldn't have done it to myself.
00:05:17Choked myself without waking up.
00:05:30Must have scratched myself.
00:05:41There they were.
00:05:52The button and that odd-shaped key.
00:05:56The things out of the dream.
00:05:59I've never seen them before.
00:06:01I can't see them.
00:06:04I've never seen them before.
00:06:06I've never seen them before.
00:06:09I'd never seen them before.
00:06:11I didn't have them when I undressed last night.
00:06:22That button wasn't mine.
00:06:24The key wasn't mine.
00:06:26But if they were there, it must have happened.
00:06:29The dream, the struggle, the murder, everything.
00:06:33But how?
00:06:35Did something like that happen and I not know it?
00:06:38Was I going insane?
00:06:41A jackhammer started pounding inside my head.
00:06:45I had to see if the outside world was still there.
00:06:54The street below looked the same as it did last night.
00:06:58The same greasy spoon where I eat now and then.
00:07:01The same traffic noises.
00:07:05The same characters, lounging around.
00:07:10There was nothing the matter out there.
00:07:13It was in here with me.
00:07:15My stomach was riding a roller coaster.
00:07:18I was sick.
00:07:20I couldn't face going to work.
00:07:35I was sick.
00:07:36I'm sick.
00:07:43Oh.
00:07:45Give me Fitzroy, 5-1-0-3.
00:07:52Fremont National Bank, Bill, you're speaking.
00:07:57Oh, yes, Grayson.
00:08:00Mm-hmm.
00:08:03What seems to be the trouble?
00:08:07Oh?
00:08:09It could be the flu.
00:08:11Mm-hmm.
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:15All right, all right.
00:08:17Good-bye.
00:08:19Good morning, Joe.
00:08:21Good morning, Mr. Jackson.
00:08:23Oh, isn't that a lovely morning?
00:08:25Lots of things I'd rather do than work today.
00:08:31Good morning, Mr. Vineyard.
00:08:32Morning, Betty.
00:08:33Vince Grayson just called.
00:08:34He's not feeling well.
00:08:35Will you take his window today?
00:08:37Oh, is Vince sick?
00:08:39What did he say it was?
00:08:43Good morning.
00:09:05The more I tried to figure out, the thicker I got.
00:09:07Suddenly, the room started spinning.
00:09:1340, 50.
00:09:27Federal 7-6-4-8.
00:09:33Hotel Commodore.
00:09:35Vince Grayson's room, please.
00:09:37He doesn't answer?
00:09:59Funny he shouldn't be there, isn't it?
00:10:01If he was sick, you know what I mean?
00:10:03No, I don't.
00:10:05I'd better check his books.
00:10:07Just to make safe.
00:10:11Miss, would you like to take this money, or should I try another bank?
00:10:17I had to get out of my room.
00:10:19Out into the sunshine.
00:10:21I had to stay out of the shadows.
00:10:23I knew that tonight...
00:10:25I'd be afraid of the dark.
00:10:27I had to talk to somebody about this crazy thing.
00:10:29Betty?
00:10:31I'd get sympathy from Betty.
00:10:33What I needed was an explanation.
00:10:35Cliff, my brother-in-law.
00:10:37He ought to be able to figure out something.
00:10:39I got to Cliff's place just before dinner.
00:10:41My sister, Lil, told me he was out in the garage.
00:10:45Hello, Cliff.
00:10:49Oh, hiya, Vince.
00:10:51How's the boy?
00:10:53Cliff, I want to talk to you.
00:10:55Be with you as soon as I finish sanding this.
00:10:57Exact reproduction of Martha Washington's bed.
00:11:01What's the matter, kid?
00:11:03Something on your mind?
00:11:05I need your help.
00:11:07I need your help.
00:11:09I need your help.
00:11:11I need your help.
00:11:13You and Betty have a fight or something?
00:11:15Cliff, this is going to sound screwy.
00:11:17Last night, I dreamed I killed a man.
00:11:19I don't know who or where it was supposed to be.
00:11:21I stabbed him with a steel ball.
00:11:23During the fight, a button came off in my hand.
00:11:25When I'd kill him, I locked the body in a closet
00:11:27and took the key.
00:11:29And then when I woke up...
00:11:31Well, look.
00:11:33I'm sorry.
00:11:35I'm sorry.
00:11:37I'm sorry.
00:11:39I'm sorry.
00:11:41Well, look.
00:11:47And this morning there was blood on my wrist.
00:11:49I figured maybe I'd scratch myself in my sleep.
00:11:51My ear or my nose or someplace.
00:11:53So I just washed it off.
00:11:55That was before I saw these.
00:11:57You're all in pieces, aren't you?
00:12:01Cliff, you gotta help me.
00:12:03You don't know what I've been going through all day.
00:12:05I'm sorry.
00:12:09Where'd you get this?
00:12:11I mean, where'd you first get it before you dreamed about it?
00:12:13Don't you understand what I've been telling you?
00:12:15I didn't have it before I dreamed about it.
00:12:17I never saw it before then.
00:12:19Then when I wake up, it turns out real.
00:12:21Now look, Vince.
00:12:23I've warned you before.
00:12:25You're working too hard.
00:12:27Don't you understand?
00:12:28There's a door somewhere this very minute this key belongs to.
00:12:31There's a man propped up behind a dead.
00:12:33And I don't know where nor who he is or how or why it happened.
00:12:36Only that I must have been there.
00:12:38I must have done it.
00:12:39Or why would it come to me in my sleep like this?
00:12:41And these things...
00:12:42Now look.
00:12:43You had those things before.
00:12:44You picked them up somewhere.
00:12:46And you misplaced them a long time ago.
00:12:48And last night you had a Welsh rabbit or one drink too many.
00:12:51So you dreamed up a nightmare.
00:12:53And in it you remembered these old things and wove them in it.
00:12:56No, no.
00:12:57Now don't say no.
00:12:59Either you dream a thing or it really happened.
00:13:02Don't worry.
00:13:04If you dreamed that you had a fight with a guy and rammed something in him,
00:13:07you'd wake up.
00:13:08What happened, Cliff?
00:13:09If I tell you it happened!
00:13:11You dreamed it.
00:13:12You had those things before.
00:13:17You've just been stretching your nerves thin, kid.
00:13:20Where's your answer?
00:13:21That's all you can tell me, huh?
00:13:23Cliff!
00:13:24Finn!
00:13:25Dinner's ready!
00:13:26If I tell you I didn't have these things before!
00:13:27Throw those things away!
00:13:29And look.
00:13:30Not a word of this to Lil.
00:13:32You understand?
00:13:34She's been worrying about you enough already.
00:13:36You haven't helped me a bit.
00:13:41I need when the knuckles were.
00:13:42Come on.
00:13:43Naturally not.
00:13:44You expect me to arrest you for murdering a man in your dream.
00:13:46Well, the rest will have to happen in a dream, too.
00:13:48Because...
00:13:49I'm off duty when I'm dreaming.
00:13:50Come on, kid.
00:13:51Let's get some dinner.
00:13:52And smile for Lil, will ya?
00:13:54You men coming in or not?
00:13:55You want your soup to get cold?
00:13:56I keep cracking the polish off of that one male.
00:13:57Are you lucky?
00:13:58Lil's got a rib roast tonight.
00:13:59You know I'm getting jealous of that butcher.
00:14:00Vince, why did you tell me you've been working hard at the bank all day?
00:14:03Well, you're not.
00:14:04You're not.
00:14:05You're not.
00:14:06You're not.
00:14:07You're not.
00:14:08You're not.
00:14:09You're not.
00:14:10You're not.
00:14:11You're not.
00:14:12You're not.
00:14:13You're not.
00:14:14You're not.
00:14:15You're not.
00:14:16You're not.
00:14:17You're not.
00:14:18You're not.
00:14:19You're not.
00:14:20I'm getting jealous of that butcher.
00:14:21Vince, why did you tell me you've been working hard at the bank all day?
00:14:24Because I did.
00:14:28How are you feeling, Vince?
00:14:29I thought you were sick.
00:14:30I was.
00:14:31I just didn't feel well.
00:14:32I kept calling your room all day.
00:14:34No one was there.
00:14:35Mr. Billio got suspicious.
00:14:37Can a guy take a day off?
00:14:38I just didn't feel like going to work, and I wasn't sick enough to stay in my room.
00:14:41Now, why does everybody have to make such a big thing of it?
00:14:45Vince.
00:14:46The blood.
00:14:47I washed it off.
00:14:48I don't know how long I was blacked down.
00:15:15I hazily remembered coming to for a moment and falling asleep again.
00:15:20It was some time past midnight when something awakened me.
00:15:37What if I...
00:15:39blacked out?
00:15:40You certainly did.
00:15:42The truth?
00:15:43No.
00:15:44Not what you think.
00:15:45Not that dream business.
00:15:46The real truth.
00:15:47But you've been wearing yourself out.
00:15:48Why are you passed out like any neurotic?
00:15:49Take the key to button.
00:15:50You must have often had less than that to start out on.
00:15:52Find out where they came from and find out what they were doing on me.
00:15:55Find out where that mirrored room is.
00:15:56Forget them once and for all.
00:15:57Forget them.
00:15:58I can't.
00:15:59They're my only clue to what happened.
00:16:00Nothing happened.
00:16:01You're just selling yourself a phony bill of goods.
00:16:02Just as phony as that idea that the nail polish was blood.
00:16:03That's the kind of trick your mind's been playing on you.
00:16:04Oh, it can't be bad.
00:16:05And don't crack Delilah about this nonsense or I'll...
00:16:09Well, just don't crack.
00:16:10She's fretted about you for years, ever since your mother died.
00:16:14And right now it'd be the worst time of all.
00:16:16Now?
00:16:17What do you mean?
00:16:18I mean?
00:16:19No.
00:16:20And don't cry to Lil about this nonsense or I'll...
00:16:24Well, just don't cry.
00:16:27She's fretted about you for years, ever since your mother died.
00:16:30And right now would be the worst time of all.
00:16:33Now?
00:16:34What do you mean?
00:16:37Well, I wasn't going to tell you until later.
00:16:40Lil's going to have a kid.
00:16:43Oh, that's fine.
00:16:45That's great, Clef.
00:16:46Okay.
00:16:47So now you know, so forget it.
00:16:48And if you'll harp on that spooky business that will help me, I'll drag you off to a doctor.
00:16:57Now go on, kid, try and get some sleep.
00:17:11Sleep?
00:17:12I felt I'd never sleep again until I knew the answer.
00:17:15I had to find the house where the nightmare took place.
00:17:21I had to know.
00:17:22I have a lovely house with a mirror-lined powder room on the second floor.
00:17:45Octagonal?
00:17:48No, it's only four squares.
00:17:51However, Mr. Grayson, if you'll come and look at it, I'm certain...
00:17:54No, thanks.
00:17:55I'm sorry.
00:17:55That's not what I'm looking for.
00:17:59Six days went by without a lead.
00:18:02I scoured the papers.
00:18:04Not one line about the murder.
00:18:05And all week, I've been avoiding Betty.
00:18:08I just couldn't face her with this thing gnawing in my brain.
00:18:19Who is it?
00:18:20Cliff.
00:18:24Hello, Cliff.
00:18:24Hiya, boy.
00:18:25We'll just see what I've got downstairs.
00:18:27Come on.
00:18:28Put it on.
00:18:30Let's go.
00:18:31I don't want to go anywhere.
00:18:32I want you to see my new second-hand car that I just got in exchange for my old second-hand car.
00:18:37Please, Cliff.
00:18:37I don't want to go anywhere.
00:18:38What are you trying to be, a groundhog?
00:18:40Lil and I taking a ride in the country.
00:18:42Little picnic.
00:18:43Listen, I'm all right.
00:18:44I don't need any fresh air jaunts to shake the devils out of me, if that's what you're doing.
00:18:48Now, love, do you want Lil to worry any more than she is after what I told you about her?
00:18:54Come on.
00:19:05Now, look, Cliff.
00:19:06If you think this is going to do any good...
00:19:07Don't be a drip.
00:19:08Come on.
00:19:13Hello, Betty.
00:19:13Hello, Vince.
00:19:14Hiya, Lil.
00:19:15I'm fine.
00:19:16Vince, I want you to know this wasn't my idea.
00:19:18What do you mean?
00:19:19I'm glad you picked me up.
00:19:20Well, where should we go, kids?
00:19:22Well, anywhere.
00:19:23I don't care.
00:19:23How about Salander Canyon?
00:19:25All right.
00:19:34Salander Canyon.
00:19:35It just popped into my head.
00:19:37Why?
00:19:39Betty and I always preferred the beach.
00:19:41But something made me say Salander.
00:19:44Somehow, it seemed important.
00:19:53You know where you're going?
00:20:03Nope.
00:20:04But I got a hunch further down this road, we'll find just the right spot.
00:20:07Have you ever seen anything so stubborn?
00:20:09I'm sure that the ants here are just as friendly as the ants farther down.
00:20:13Now, what's wrong with that place over there?
00:20:15Nothing.
00:20:15But, uh...
00:20:16Well, stop then.
00:20:17It's getting late, and besides, I'm hungry.
00:20:19Okay, okay, okay, my love.
00:20:21That's just what I was going to do.
00:20:35Ah, this is the life.
00:20:38Toss me another one of those marshmallows, will you, beloved?
00:20:40Good.
00:20:41At they wish, master.
00:20:43Plop.
00:20:47Mommy, you're wonderful.
00:20:49Uh-huh.
00:20:49Just as long as the marshmallows last.
00:20:51Vince, are you coming back to work tomorrow?
00:21:01I don't think so.
00:21:05Mr. Billio asked me to go out with him yesterday.
00:21:08Well, why didn't you go?
00:21:09Why tell me?
00:21:10Vince, what is it?
00:21:13What's the matter?
00:21:21Just forget about me, will you?
00:21:29What is it?
00:21:31Did I do something?
00:21:33No, it's not your fault.
00:21:34It's just that...
00:21:36Look, we're through.
00:21:38There's nothing we can do about it.
00:21:40Don't call me up.
00:21:42Don't pay any attention to me.
00:21:43Get somebody else.
00:21:44Get anybody.
00:21:48Be better for you.
00:21:51You're a big girl now.
00:22:00I can't help it.
00:22:01You know what lightning does to me.
00:22:03We better go.
00:22:04Hey, kids, it's going to rain.
00:22:08Holy smoke, you didn't have to take me seriously.
00:22:11Yes, Benny, come on and go.
00:22:21Don, wipers won't work.
00:22:42You should have tried them before you bought it, dear.
00:22:44All right.
00:22:45All right.
00:22:45I can't stand it anymore.
00:23:06Stop at the first place you come to and let's get out of this.
00:23:09All right, baby.
00:23:10Now, calm down.
00:23:13No houses around here.
00:23:23That bridge.
00:23:24I've seen it before.
00:23:26But when?
00:23:30There's a cutoff a little ways ahead, just around the turn.
00:23:33There's a big house up there, I think.
00:23:37Do you know this section?
00:23:38Have you been here before?
00:23:41There's a cutoff.
00:23:50Are you going to get us more lost than ever?
00:23:52No, keep going.
00:23:53You'll come to it.
00:23:54Two big posts and then turn the car between them.
00:23:56I didn't know myself how I knew that.
00:24:00But the closer we came, the heart of my heart pounded.
00:24:03And the more frightened I got.
00:24:13There they are.
00:24:13Turn flip between those posts like he told you.
00:24:27We'll be leaving.
00:24:27Let me see.
00:24:28We'll be there.
00:24:29There we will.
00:24:29Make me.
00:24:30We'll be there.
00:24:31Let me see.
00:24:31There we will.
00:24:33Come in.
00:24:52Let's see.
00:24:52Let's make a dash for it.
00:25:22There doesn't seem to be anybody home.
00:25:29Well, I wish we could get in.
00:25:39Thought there'd be a key someplace.
00:25:52Vince, are you going to stay out there all day?
00:26:08Come on in.
00:26:11Let's have some light.
00:26:16Not that one.
00:26:18What is this, a rib?
00:26:22How do you know so much about this place?
00:26:24It's a rib.
00:26:25Your brother Vince, the great joker.
00:26:34Hello.
00:26:35Anybody home?
00:26:36Don't do that.
00:26:38It's cold.
00:26:39He's shaking.
00:26:40So are you.
00:26:41Let's find a place to dry out before you catch cold.
00:26:43Looks like they've been away a long time.
00:26:53Your being a detective comes in handy.
00:26:54In case anybody shows up, we won't get into trouble for crashing in like this.
00:26:59Yeah, yeah.
00:27:00Let's see what gives with the fireplace.
00:27:06That's a break.
00:27:07It's a gas log.
00:27:13It's a gas log.
00:27:14Tonk yourself down.
00:27:15Dry out.
00:27:16Before you catch a chill.
00:27:17It's a gas log.
00:27:18It's a gas log.
00:27:19It's a gas log.
00:27:20It's a gas log.
00:27:21It's a gas log.
00:27:23It's a gas log.
00:27:24Tonk yourself down.
00:27:40Dry out.
00:27:41Before you catch a chill.
00:27:42Oh, I am tired.
00:27:46Come on Betty, share the warmth.
00:27:50I'll scout the kitchen.
00:27:52Some hot tea wouldn't hurt you a bit.
00:27:59Feel better already.
00:28:07Vince, why don't you come over here by the fire?
00:28:22Do you feel it?
00:28:28That's how you get it.
00:28:32The-
00:28:37What happened to us?

00:30:53That... that must be the one I propped him up in after I...
00:31:04No, don't!
00:31:05Yeah.
00:31:06Give me a chance.
00:31:07Cut it out.
00:31:08Dried blood.
00:31:25Someone who was hurt was in here.
00:31:27Somebody who was dead.
00:31:38Ben, Claire, come on down and have some tea.
00:32:08I'll take these back to the kitchen.
00:32:22I'll take them.
00:32:24The rain ought to let up soon.
00:32:26Meanwhile, catch yourselves a nap.
00:32:38Close it.
00:32:41I want them to hear this.
00:32:57Now let's hear about another dream.
00:32:59You think I lied, don't you?
00:33:01You knew how to get here from a dream, didn't you?
00:33:04You knew where the key was from a dream, didn't you?
00:33:07Oh, well, that fumbling around didn't fool me.
00:33:09You even knew where the light switch was.
00:33:11From a dream?
00:33:12If you weren't Lil's brother, I'd push a lion's face out to the back of your head.
00:33:16But I tell you, Cliff, I tried...
00:33:17No, I came to me for help.
00:33:18She didn't have guts enough to come clean.
00:33:20Say, Cliff, I went out to such and such a place in the canyon last night and killed a guy.
00:33:24Such and such a guy for such and such a reason.
00:33:26But I tell you...
00:33:27No, you had to cook up a dream.
00:33:28I can respect a guy, no matter how rotten a crime he's committed, who'll own up to it?
00:33:32I can understand a guy who'll deny it flatly.
00:33:34But a guy that'll come to someone trading on the fact he's married to his sister abuses common sense
00:33:38and make a fool out of him like you did to me.
00:33:40But I didn't...
00:33:41I got no use for him.
00:33:42He's lower than the lowest rat we ever brought in for knifing somebody in an alley.
00:33:45Look, I found this key in my pocket when I woke up.
00:33:49I found this button playing on my sympathies, getting me to think in terms of doctors and medical observation.
00:33:54Was that it?
00:33:55Was it?
00:33:56No, I... Cliff, I swear to you, I...
00:33:57Hey, son, dream.
00:33:58That was it.
00:33:59Well, that dream's over with.
00:34:00The baby's awake now.
00:34:01I'm gonna get the facts out of you, and whether they go any further than me or not, that's my business.
00:34:05But at least I'm gonna have them.
00:34:06How can I tell you what I don't know?
00:34:08What were you doing here that night?
00:34:09What brought you here?
00:34:10I was never here before.
00:34:11I never saw the place till the day when I came here with you and Lil.
00:34:14Who was the guy you killed?
00:34:15What was his name?
00:34:16I mean, agony already without...
00:34:17Are you gonna answer me?
00:34:18Are you?
00:34:19I can't.
00:34:20You're asking me things I can't answer.
00:34:21That's the almighty of whoever watches over us at night when we're unconscious.
00:34:24Who was the guy?
00:34:25Why did you kill him?
00:34:26Why?
00:34:27Well, I've handled close-mouthed guys before.
00:34:30You're gonna tell me or I'm gonna half kill you with my own hands.
00:34:37Get over there.
00:34:38What is this?
00:34:39I'll ask the questions.
00:34:40What are you two doing in here?
00:34:41You came in out of the rain.
00:34:42That suit you?
00:34:43Not yet.
00:34:44Identify yourselves and be quick about it.
00:34:47Help yourself.
00:34:52Thanks, Early.
00:35:01Headquarters Homicide Division, huh?
00:35:04How about doing a little identifying yourself?
00:35:06Oh, I'm a deputy attached to the county sheriff's office out this way.
00:35:09Torrance is the name.
00:35:10My brother-in-law, Vince Grayson.
00:35:12How do you deal?
00:35:13I'm detailed to keep an eye on this place.
00:35:14I was home having a little bite to eat, then I'm on my way back to the station.
00:35:17Say, how'd you get in here?
00:35:18I thought I had it locked up.
00:35:19The key was under a flower box on the porch.
00:35:21It was?
00:35:22It must have been a spare.
00:35:23I have the original.
00:35:24We didn't know there was a second one.
00:35:25What do you mean you're detailed to keep an eye on this place?
00:35:28Didn't you know?
00:35:29There was a murder committed here last week.
00:35:31There was?
00:35:32I'd like to hear more about that.
00:35:35Sounds interesting.
00:35:39No thanks.
00:35:40This place belonged to a wealthy couple named Belknap.
00:35:43Husband frequently goes on long business trips.
00:35:44He was away when it happened in Mexico.
00:35:45In fact, we haven't been able to notify him yet.
00:35:47His wife was a pretty little thing.
00:35:48Was.
00:35:49Kind of flirty.
00:35:50It was a young duck she used to run around with.
00:35:51His name was Bob Klune.
00:35:52It was.
00:35:53Milkman found Mrs. Belknap about daybreak Monday, near a road that leads over here.
00:35:57Did?
00:35:58Dying, unconscious, both legs broken, skull fractured, insides all busted up.
00:36:04Kind of gets him, doesn't it?
00:36:05Things like this are new to him, I guess.
00:36:06But it happened.
00:36:07I'm not even sure.
00:36:10He's not a good step.
00:36:11I'm not sure.
00:36:12I'm a good step.
00:36:13I'm sorry.
00:36:14You're not a good step.
00:36:15You're not a good step.
00:36:17Anything you can see is a good step.
00:36:18I'm not a good step.
00:36:19I'm not a good step.
00:36:20I'm not a good step.
00:36:21I'm not a good step.
00:36:22I'm not a good step.
00:36:23I'm not a good step.
00:36:24I'm not a good step.
00:36:25I guess.
00:36:26What had happened?
00:36:27Car did it to her.
00:36:28We found the car, blood and hair in the tires.
00:36:34Bob Plune's car.
00:36:35Well, then Warner, that's my chief,
00:36:37he come over here and have a look around.
00:36:39He finds a safe busted in a mirrored room upstairs.
00:36:42Take you up and show if you want.
00:36:44Mirrored room, huh?
00:36:46Well, that gave us a case.
00:36:49Plune knew that Belknap had a lot of dough in the safe
00:36:51when he left for Mexico.
00:36:52He came here, started to heist it,
00:36:53and Mrs. Belknap caught him.
00:36:55She ran out afraid he'd kill her.
00:36:56He got his car, chased her down the road, and ran over.
00:36:58Pretty brutal.
00:37:00All of a sudden, life was swell again.
00:37:02I don't know how to drive, I kept thinking.
00:37:05Cliff knew that, too.
00:37:08Not a smoke, kid.
00:37:10Anyway, that's a case we thought we had until Wednesday morning.
00:37:14Thought you had?
00:37:15We sent out an alarm for Plune.
00:37:16Then Wednesday, Mrs. Belknap came, too.
00:37:18The first thing she asked was, is Bob all right?
00:37:20He didn't kill Bob Plune, did he?
00:37:22He?
00:37:22Yeah.
00:37:23What she told us sent us hot pudding right back here.
00:37:25We find Plune's body proper behind one of those mirrored doors
00:37:28upstairs, been stabbed with an awl.
00:37:30She died that night.
00:37:31Well, it went our case.
00:37:35Did you get anything on the real killer?
00:37:37Practically everything, except the guy himself.
00:37:40All the dopes over at my chief's office.
00:37:42I was just on my way over there.
00:37:44Are you interested?
00:37:44Oh, it's right up my alley.
00:37:47Might be able to even help you find the killer.
00:37:48Glad to have you come along.
00:37:49I'll have to tell the girls.
00:37:51We'll be gone for a while.
00:37:57Shouldn't let it get you, kid.
00:37:59This is just routine with us.
00:38:01I know.
00:38:02It's just that I'm not used to this kind of discussion, I guess.
00:38:05Yeah, I can understand that.
00:38:07I was a little bit squeamish myself when I first started on the job.
00:38:12They're both asleep.
00:38:12I left a note.
00:38:14Come on, Vince.
00:38:15Uh, I'll stay here.
00:38:19Come on, Vince.
00:38:20Funny, I didn't see anything in the LA papers about it, Captain Warner.
00:38:23They've been playing ball with us.
00:38:25We had an idea if the killer didn't read about us finding the bodies, he might come back
00:38:29to take a look.
00:38:30Maybe to find out what happened to Mrs. Belknap.
00:38:32Here's a description she gave us before she died.
00:38:36The killer was about twenty-four, medium build, white-brown wavy hair, worn rather long.
00:38:51His eyes were fixed and glassy as though he was mentally unbalanced.
00:38:59You got any pictures on them?
00:39:00Mrs. Belknap.
00:39:01Cloon, I mean.
00:39:02We had some photographs taken in the morgue.
00:39:03Let's have a look.
00:39:04Got any ideas?
00:39:05Nothing in particular.
00:39:06Just thought it might tie in with something at our office.
00:39:07Take a look, Vince.
00:39:08Who knows?
00:39:09You might even know these people.
00:39:10It was the first time.
00:39:11It was the last time.
00:39:12I was a kid.
00:39:13I was just a kid.
00:39:14I was a kid.
00:39:15I was a kid.
00:39:16I was a kid.
00:39:17I was a kid.
00:39:18I was a kid.
00:39:19I was a kid.
00:39:20I was a kid.
00:39:21I was a kid.
00:39:22I was a kid.
00:39:23I was a kid.
00:39:24I was a kid.
00:39:25I was a kid.
00:39:26I was a kid.
00:39:27I was a kid.
00:39:29And while I was a kid, I thought I would have to keep them.
00:39:32I would make them all right.
00:39:33I would make them all right.
00:39:34The faces and the dreams.
00:39:37That woman and the man are killed.
00:39:39No, I knew there was no escape.
00:39:40I was a murderer.
00:39:41I...
00:39:42I...
00:39:43I like the light what he supposed to do those death pictures things like this

00:44:14He's trying to make up his mind.
00:44:20Look.
00:44:21He's trying to make up his mind.
00:44:27Can't you go any faster.
00:44:28Got her wide open.
00:44:34Can't you go any faster.
00:44:35Got her wide open.
00:44:41Can't you go any faster.
00:44:42Got her wide open.
00:44:48Good night.
00:44:49Good night.
00:44:55Good night.
00:44:56Let's go.
00:44:57Let's go.
00:44:58Let's go!
00:45:28I didn't let me. I didn't think it that way out.
00:45:46Vince! Oh, Vince!
00:45:49I didn't want to drag you into this.
00:45:51What is it? If you're in trouble so horrible that you wanted to...
00:45:55Darling, don't.
00:45:57He won't try it again, Betty. Just keep that thought.
00:46:02But why, Cliff? Why?
00:46:04Never mind now. You go on down, take Lil home.
00:46:09But don't tell him anything about that.
00:46:11Just say that I thought it was better if I stayed here with Vince tonight.
00:46:15He's not feeling well, okay?
00:46:18Cliff, whatever it is that's come between us, promise me you'll help him.
00:46:24You go on now. And take care of Lil.
00:46:54Cliff?
00:47:09I wake you up?
00:47:12No, I can't sleep.
00:47:14Have a smoke.
00:47:24What about the arrest, Cliff?
00:47:27Cancel for now.
00:47:28When a guy's willing to die like you were, there must be something to his story.
00:47:32I tried to tell you.
00:47:34I don't think you really knew what you were doing that night.
00:47:37I think you're telling the truth to the best of your ability.
00:47:40Well, I'm licked.
00:47:42I'd rather not even talk about it.
00:47:45You might as well have let me jump.
00:47:47I'm dead inside already.
00:47:50Still, I can't figure why you picked that way.
00:47:54Most of them try the bridge or poison or even gas.
00:47:58Thought of that, but this place hasn't any gas.
00:48:00Yeah, good thing too.
00:48:01More houses didn't have gas, there'd be less.
00:48:04Yeah?
00:48:05It'd be darned inconvenient if an electric light bulb burns out unexpectedly.
00:48:09Happened to a fellow in the next room the other night.
00:48:11Yeah?
00:48:12Yeah, I had to use a candle.
00:48:13Same night I had the dream.
00:48:15Use a candle?
00:48:16How did you know?
00:48:17Were you in there with him?
00:48:19Hmm?
00:48:20No, he rapped, stuck his head in the door.
00:48:23Wanted to know if my light had gone out too.
00:48:26What'd you have to come in here for?
00:48:28Couldn't have told by the hall?
00:48:29I don't know.
00:48:30There's a little night light around the bin in the hall.
00:48:33Maybe that's on a different circuit.
00:48:35Still no reason for him to barge in on you.
00:48:38I'd like to hear the rest of this.
00:48:46There isn't any rest of it.
00:48:48I've told you all there is.
00:48:50Never mind.
00:48:51Now who was he?
00:48:53Did you know him?
00:48:54Now tell it to me step by step.
00:48:56Like to a six year old kid.
00:48:58Okay.
00:48:59Well, the guy's name was Berg.
00:49:02He'd been living in the room about, uh,
00:49:05Oh, week or ten days before that.
00:49:08Used to see him in the elevator.
00:49:10Chatted with him a couple of times in the lobby.
00:49:13Alright.
00:49:14Now, tell me what happened the night his light went out.
00:49:17Well, I've been in bed for some time.
00:49:19Reading the paper like I do every night.
00:49:28Just put the lamp out and gotten to sleep
00:49:31when I heard this knock on the door.
00:49:35Who is it?
00:49:37Harry Berg from next door.
00:49:49Pardon me.
00:49:50Did I wake you?
00:49:51No, I just turned out the light.
00:49:53Oh, you did?
00:49:54The light in my room just went out.
00:49:57That's why I wanted to see you.
00:49:59I thought maybe the circuit was on.
00:50:01Your light working?
00:50:03Try it.
00:50:13Yes.
00:50:14It must have been the globe that burned out.
00:50:17Sorry I troubled you.
00:50:18Not at all.
00:50:21You're tired, aren't you?
00:50:23I can see you're pretty tired.
00:50:25I'm sorry.
00:50:26Oh, really, it's all right.
00:50:28You're tired, and I woke you up.
00:50:32It's all right.
00:50:40I guess he kind of had a one-track mind.
00:50:42Used to mumbling to himself, maybe.
00:50:44Anyway, he finally closed the door and went away,
00:50:47and I dropped off to sleep.
00:50:49Now, wait a minute.
00:50:51Are you sure the door closed after him?
00:50:53Did you see it closed?
00:50:55Did you hear it closed?
00:50:56Did it go like this?
00:51:01Did it make a click?
00:51:03Or did it go like this without a click?
00:51:07I can see you're having trouble giving me a definite answer.
00:51:11You don't remember it either way.
00:51:13Oh, what difference does it make?
00:51:15The door must have closed.
00:51:17He went away, and I went to sleep.
00:51:19He was standing there with a candle in his hand,
00:51:21and he kept saying, you're tired.
00:51:23So what?
00:51:25Eyes fixed and glassy as though he were mentally unbalanced.
00:51:30What?
00:51:32I was just remembering something in the deathbed statement
00:51:36Mrs. Belknap gave to Warner.
00:51:38You, uh, you say you chatted with this fellow once in a while.
00:51:43What about?
00:51:44Oh, sports, politics.
00:51:47Going down the elevator one time,
00:51:50he had a box of methylated cough drops in his pocket.
00:51:54Go ahead, have one.
00:51:56No thanks, I don't like them.
00:51:58Oh, go on. They're good for you.
00:52:01No thanks, really.
00:52:03You should have one.
00:52:05Your voice sounds kind of hoarse.
00:52:12I took one because I kind of felt sorry for him.
00:52:16I really hate those cough drops.
00:52:19Testing willpower.
00:52:23You seem to make something out of this silly thing.
00:52:25What is it?
00:52:28I'm just guessing.
00:52:29That's all.
00:52:33You get some sleep, kid.
00:52:35Where are you going?
00:52:37Hey, I thought you were going to stay here tonight.
00:52:44I'm going to have to take one of your hats.
00:52:46I'm going out to the Belknap home,
00:52:49and the Warner's headquarters while I'm out there.
00:52:51Now?
00:52:52All the way out there, this hour of the morning?

00:52:57And if anything,
00:52:58and Vince,
00:53:00don't try any more shortcuts.
