00:02:36Yes, it is the living image of her.
00:03:01Bob, will you change seats with me?
00:03:03Why, of course, dear.
00:03:15What's the matter?
00:03:16Oh, nothing but that man in the next box keeps staring at me.
00:03:33Let's go back and see the dead in the evening.
00:03:35All right.
00:03:39Why, it is like seeing the dead return to life.
00:03:43I must know who she is.
00:03:45That can do no good.
00:03:46The dead have no place among the living.
00:03:47I shall be the judge of that.
00:03:48Lawrence, for a man your age, you're certainly in the pink.
00:03:50I have to be.
00:03:51Most people don't know, but giving a piano recital requires the stamina of a marathon runner.
00:03:57Hey, Judd, I think you'd better give my right forearm muscles another going over.
00:04:00I feel a slight cramp in my index finger.
00:04:01Yes, sir.
00:04:02Well, I think you'd better give my right forearm muscles another going over.
00:04:05I feel a slight cramp in my index finger.
00:04:06Yes, sir.
00:04:07Hello, dad.
00:04:08Hello, darling.
00:04:09Hi, Bob.
00:04:10How am I doing?
00:04:11Marvelously.
00:04:12I don't believe I've ever heard you in better form.
00:04:13That's because you're home from school, my dear.
00:04:14I was playing for you tonight.
00:04:16I was playing for you tonight.
00:04:17Good luck.
00:04:19Oh, man.
00:04:20Well, let's do it.
00:04:21Great.
00:04:22Well, let's do it.
00:04:23You're good.
00:04:24Well, let's do this to me.
00:04:25Well, let's do it.
00:04:26Well, let's do it.
00:04:27Well, let's do it.
00:04:28Well, let's do it.
00:04:29Well, I don't do it.
00:04:30I'll give you a dead net.
00:04:31I'll tell you the top two years.
00:04:32I was playing for you tonight.
00:04:34Oh, am I glad this engagement ends my concert tour.
00:04:38Now I can relax, wear old clothes, and let my beard grow.
00:04:41Oh, and devote sometimes to your only daughter.
00:04:44You know, I feel as if I'd been piano.
00:04:46Uh-uh-uh-uh.
00:04:47Don't bite the piano that feels, my darling.
00:04:50See where that is, Bob.
00:04:52Here.
00:04:57This gentleman would like a minute with Mr. Lawrence.
00:04:59Just a moment.
00:05:01Dr. Igor Markoff is waiting to see you.
00:05:10Igor Markoff?
00:05:12I don't know the man.
00:05:13I'll tell him to write me for an appointment.
00:05:15Oh, wait a minute, Bob.
00:05:16I've got a few minutes.
00:05:17Let him come in.
00:05:18My dressing gowns yet?
00:05:26So I have the pleasure of addressing Mr. Anthony Lawrence.
00:05:29That's right, Doctor.
00:05:30What's on your mind?
00:05:31I should like to apologize to this charming young lady for my seeming rudeness.
00:05:36Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but go ahead.
00:05:39This is my daughter, Patricia.
00:05:40Dr. Markoff.
00:05:41Please forgive me, young lady, for staring so rudely at you.
00:05:45But I really could not help it.
00:05:48Seeing you tonight was quite a shock because...
00:05:52Well, because you are the living image of my wife, Lenore, as she looked at the time we were married.
00:05:58She was taken away from me under very tragic circumstances.
00:06:02I understand.
00:06:03I accept your apology.
00:06:05This will always remain an unforgettable moment in my life.
00:06:24Auf Wiedersehen.
00:06:25So nice to have met you.
00:06:26I always appreciate the privilege of meeting a great artiste.
00:06:27Thank you, Doctor.
00:06:28And good night.
00:06:29Good night, sir.
00:06:30Funny people, these foreigners.
00:06:31Do you suppose Pat really resembles his dear departed, or?
00:06:32Or is right.
00:06:33That cock and bull story was old in Caesar's day.
00:06:35The nerve of the guy.
00:06:36My dear boy, you've got to get used to other men admiring Pat.
00:06:39She's a very beautiful man.
00:06:41She's a very diverse man.
00:06:42But he's a good man.
00:06:43She was a big man.
00:06:44I've got to realize that I've tried to make it a terrible man.
00:06:46It's very nice to have met you.
00:06:47I always appreciate the privilege of meeting a great artiste.
00:06:49Thank you, Doctor.
00:06:50And good night.
00:06:51Good night, sir.
00:06:52Funny people, these foreigners.
00:06:53Do you suppose that Pat really resembles his dear departed, or?
00:06:56Or is right.
00:06:57That cock and bull story was old in Caesar's day.
00:06:58The nerve of the guy.
00:06:59admiring pat she's a very beautiful girl there's a difference between admiring and ogling by the

00:12:50I wish I'd get rid of that brute.
00:13:01He's always hated me and I'm deathly afraid of him.
00:13:05Oh, don't be a fool.
00:13:06He's perfectly safe in that cage.
00:13:08How could he harm you?
00:13:10It is silly.
00:13:11Besides, he's very essential to my work.
00:13:15Now, when that concentrated pituitary boils dry, turn off all the burners.
00:13:24Add some elixir, place it in four CC ampules and refrigerate them.
00:13:28Yes, Doctor.
00:13:29Watch it closely.
00:13:30See that it continues to boil, but very slowly.
00:13:34Now, I must go and talk to Mr. Lawrence.
00:13:36I cannot leave him waiting any longer.
00:13:41Well, Mr. Lawrence, nice to see you again.
00:13:48This isn't a professional call, Dr. Markov.
00:13:52I've come here on a purely personal matter.
00:13:53Oh.
00:13:54Well, in that case, you'd better come into my private office.
00:13:58Ah, won't you sit down?
00:13:59I'll remain standing, if you don't mind.
00:14:00Oh, as you wish.
00:14:01I'll get to the point very quickly, Dr. Markov.
00:14:02I've come here in regard to my daughter, Patricia.
00:14:04Ah, yes, a lovely young woman.
00:14:05Ah, yes.
00:14:06A lovely young woman.
00:14:07Oh, yes.
00:14:08Well, my dear, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:14:09I'm sorry.
00:14:10I'm sorry.
00:14:11I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:14:12I'm sorry.
00:14:13Well, Mr. Lawrence, it's nice to see you again.
00:14:14Well, Mr. Lawrence, nice to see you again.
00:14:15This isn't a professional call, Dr. Markov.
00:14:17I've come here on a purely personal matter.
00:14:19Oh.
00:14:20Well, in that case, you'd better come into my private office.
00:14:23I've come here in regard to my daughter Patricia.
00:14:25Ah, yes, a lovely young woman.
00:14:27That's beside the point.
00:14:28She doesn't welcome your attentions.
00:14:30I'm forced to ask you to stop annoying her.
00:14:32I'm afraid you're being very insulting.
00:14:34Your persistence has left me no other choice.
00:14:37I've already explained my deep interest in your daughter.
00:14:40Perhaps you thought I was lying.
00:14:47Would you look at this picture?
00:14:53What if there is a resemblance?
00:14:57That doesn't give you the privilege of annoying her.
00:15:00But I am going to marry her.
00:15:03Marry?
00:15:05I'm amazed at your conceit.
00:15:08I'm warning you, Dr. Markov.
00:15:10Unless you stop annoying my daughter, I shall call the police.
00:15:13Stop, not so fast.
00:15:14Let go of me!
00:15:23I'm afraid we should leave your daughter.
00:15:24Don't go of me!
00:15:25I'm afraid we should leave her in the house.
00:15:26I can't do that anymore.
00:15:27Let's go of me.
00:15:28I can't do it anymore.
00:15:30I can't do it anymore.
00:15:31It seems.
00:15:32It seems to me that she has felt like she's still in her.
00:15:34He's still in love.
00:15:35For her.
00:15:37If we can't do it anymore, she might be doing it.
00:15:38This is not just that she's getting away.
00:15:39To her.
00:15:40Or she may do that.
00:15:41To her at least let her.
00:15:42That she can do it.
00:15:43And I'll call it.
00:15:44This is a little bit, a little bit cut.
00:15:45I'll call it a little bit.
00:15:46To her?
00:15:47Or she and she might just do that.
00:15:48But my daughter...
00:15:49There's not a little bit.

00:19:31SO YOU SEE
00:19:32MR. LAURENCE
00:19:33NOBODY HAVING
00:19:34WITNESSED OUR
00:19:35ENCOUNTER
00:19:36I'M PERFECTLY WILLING
00:19:37TO KEEP THE SECRET
00:19:38OF COURSE
00:19:39IF YOU DESIRE
00:19:40TO SAY SOMETHING
00:19:41ABOUT IT
00:19:42I WILL ADMIT
00:19:43THAT YOU THREATENED
00:19:44protect myself it is simply a case of your words against mine
00:20:02this doctor markov's residence yes are you miss Lawrence come in the doctor's
00:20:07expecting
00:20:14father how do you feel perhaps what are you doing here dr. markov said you're a
00:20:25little indisposed so I came to drive you home are you feeling better now yes
00:20:29yes much better well enough to start yes of course Steve help mr. Lawrence to
00:20:38his car
00:20:48I miss Lawrence may I have a word with you yes I think that your father would bear
00:20:55watching if you notice him developing certain symptoms of well if you notice
00:20:59him acting strangely I would strongly advise you persuade him to see his
00:21:03doctor I'll remember thank you
00:21:10have you finished yes I did exactly what you told me
00:21:35uh why are you working on a formula x54 I thought you were satisfied with x53
00:21:41not quite I have succeeded with x53 in arresting the disease acromegaly but it
00:21:48will do no more than hold it in check come I will show you
00:21:54you will recall that after I injected him with the disease it was allowed to
00:22:09proceed to this stage enlargement of the head the feet and so forth but from the
00:22:16moment I gave him an ejection of x53 there has been no change in the condition
00:22:21neither progressive nor retrogressive I have every reason to hope that this new
00:22:27formula will prove to be a complete cure for the disease think what it will mean to
00:22:32have the power to control a dread disease like acromegaly the only living man to
00:22:37have such power and why are you the only living man to have such power you know why yes I do
00:22:45and you're not even a doctor you stole a name and laboratory note from the man you killed
00:22:51he deserved to die and his death made it possible for me to escape from Europe as the real Dr. Markov
00:22:57and reap the rewards earned by another man with years of work and study what I took from him was
00:23:02small repayment for what he tried to take from me the love of Lenore my wife the woman I worshipped but
00:23:09his love cooled as I knew it would when he looked at her beautiful face and saw the ravages of the hideous disease
00:23:14acromegaly did you deliberately inoculate her with that dread I did I was determined that no other
00:23:22man should try to take her from me I knew if you were no longer beautiful no one else would want
00:23:27that then I would have her all for myself but she could not stand the sight of her own face so she killed
00:23:38herself this is incredible only a madman could do a thing like that I'm getting out of here
00:23:47you are going no place you are going no place
00:24:02go to your room stay there
00:24:09good to have you back again with us Bob glad to be back once more time it's no fun being away from you
00:24:28I do wish you didn't have to spend so much time out of town if I didn't your father would probably
00:24:33get himself a new business manager you know as chiefly on his business I'm always so much I know
00:24:38Bob do you think you could book father for a series of summer concerts Pat what are you talking about
00:24:45if you knew the heavy schedule I booked him for next season you'd want him to have a good rest
00:24:49I do but he can't seem to rest I don't know what's gotten into him he seems to have so much energy he
00:24:57just can't seem to work at all well let's hope it keeps up but he can't Bob do you realize that he's
00:25:03up at six every morning that he walks practically all day long that I can't get him to go to bed at
00:25:09night sometimes I awaken at two or three in the morning he's still playing his piano that's not normal
00:25:39that come here YouTube Bob
00:26:08doesn't it look as if my fingers were thicker
00:26:18well your hands are swollen well the fingers are anyway they feel awkward when did you notice this
00:26:26the past few days I felt something coming on my feet too seem enlarged all my shoes feel tight
00:26:32do you suppose you've eaten something that poisoned you oh no no I didn't I didn't know what if I had
00:26:36there he said if you felt bad I should persuade you to see a doctor who said dr. markov markov when
00:26:45was that that day you went to see him about about a social matter oh rubbish why should I see a doctor
00:26:52when I never felt better in my life because I want you to father promise me you'll see dr. Adams at once
00:26:58let me call him now nonsense there's nothing the matter with me really I'll tell you what I'll do
00:27:03if this condition doesn't clear up by tomorrow I'll drop in to see dr. Adams just to put your mind at
00:27:08but you won't go you'll put it off why don't you let me call him now because it isn't urgent anyway
00:27:15right now I feel like going out for a walk but you've been walking all day I can't help it I feel
00:27:20restless and full of energy what do you make of it Bob oh perhaps some minor upset well I would
00:27:30have him checked over by dr. Adams and how are you feeling today mr. Lawrence physically extremely
00:27:38well and your appetite still increasing mr. Lawrence after studying all the results of your laboratory tests
00:27:46x-rays metabolism records I have reached a conclusion but not being satisfied with my ounces alone I call
00:27:55into consultation dr. Krueger and dr. Naylor whose reputation of course you know certainly and they
00:28:02without any hint from me both came to the same conclusion acromegaly acromegaly yes it's a very
00:28:10rare disease glandular in origin activated by a defective pituitary doctor can't you tell me in
00:28:18plain English what's wrong with me and how serious it is I'm trying to tell you you have a glandular
00:28:24disorder a disorder of the pituitary gland a disease so rare that medical science knows little about it
00:28:31as yet is it fatal fatal well not necessarily it's a progressive disease enlarges the extremities it's
00:28:44accompanied by an increasing amount of energy to a fabulous and dangerous degree is a curable mr. Lawrence
00:28:53there is but one man to my knowledge who knows anything important about acromegaly he's a specialist in
00:29:00glandular disorders and I understand has devoted a great deal of research to this particular disease
00:29:05I urgently suggest that you consult this man who is in a position to do more for you than any person in
00:29:11the profession who is it dr. Igor Markov Dr. Markov yes you know him yes strange you didn't think to consult
00:29:25him and I've just met him socially I don't know him socially but his name ranks among the top names
00:29:33in the profession his reputation is international so he is therefore the man that you should see mr.
00:29:40Lawrence I'd rather not see dr. Markov isn't there anybody else I can consult no he's the only man I know
00:29:51that can help you he is not seen fit as yet to give out his findings or his method of treatment to the

00:32:40Did you see what I saw?
00:32:42What are you talking about?
00:32:44Did you see his face?
00:32:45His head was so large.
00:32:47It's your imagination, darling.
00:32:49The lights in there were strange, that's all.
00:32:51No, Bob, no.

00:33:14Maxine!
00:33:16Maxine!
00:33:18Maxine!
00:33:20Maxine!
00:33:40Bette και
00:33:50Não Avoclockемонしま
00:33:56Yes, Mark?
00:33:57Weren't you expecting me?
00:33:59You...
00:34:00knew I'd have to come to you sooner or later?
00:34:04To you, the one man with experience concerning the hideous disease of acromegaly.
00:34:12Oh, you had it cunningly worked out, Markov.
00:34:17So I would be forced to come to you, to you alone, for help.
00:34:23Then you would be in a position to dictate your own terms in exchange for that help.
00:34:29Terms which, no doubt, would involve my daughter, Patricia.
00:34:38Oh, you were clever, Markov. Exceedingly clever.
00:34:51As the only man with sufficient knowledge of the disease, not only to alleviate it,
00:34:56but to infect a person with it, you hold a decided advantage.
00:35:03So you see, Markov.
00:35:05I know you infected me with something that caused acromegaly.
00:35:10But how you made the disease develop so rapidly,
00:35:14when science has proven that it takes years to reach this stage.
00:35:18I do not know.
00:35:20But you did.
00:35:22And now, Markov, I have come to you, as you knew I must, to make terms.
00:35:28I have come to make terms.
00:35:31No, no, Lawrence. You overestimate my control of the disease.
00:35:36I have made an extensive study of it. Yes, that is true.
00:35:39But, after all, I am only an apprentice.
00:35:43Yes, the devil's apprentice.
00:35:46Markov, you have set yourself up as a Frankenstein and created a monster.
00:35:52I am that monster.
00:35:55But if you remember, the monster destroyed the man who created him.
00:36:00That is what I am going to do to you!
00:36:06No!
00:36:08No!
00:36:10Good work, Steve.
00:36:12Put him on that chair while I prepare an anesthetic.
00:36:16Herbie began this evening.
00:36:18But I must put my mind at rest.
00:36:20Can't you take my word for it, Pat?
00:36:22I am sorry, Bob. In this case, I can.
00:36:25It's locked.
00:36:26You see, he doesn't want to be disturbed.
00:36:27But I must see him.
00:36:28Oh, not tonight, Pat. Please. In the morning, perhaps.
00:36:31I'll tell you what.
00:36:33I've got to see him in the morning on some business.
00:36:34And as soon as I've finished, I'll send for you. How's that?
00:36:37Well, make it early.
00:36:39I can't have this hanging over my head.
00:36:41I know, dear. And I'll make it just as early as I can.
00:36:43Now, how about getting some rest for yourself?
00:36:45You look exhausted.
00:36:47Oh, I suppose I do, but I can't help it.
00:36:49You look lovely to me, dear.
00:36:52But you do need rest. Now, run along.
00:36:56Sleep well.
00:36:58I'll try. Good night.
00:36:59Good night.
00:37:00Good night.
00:37:11Oh, Stack.
00:37:16Stack, have you got a key to the music room?
00:37:18Why, no, sir. Why?
00:37:19Well, it's locked and I wanted to see Mr. Lawrence.
00:37:21I'm sorry, sir, but he's gone out.
00:37:22Out?
00:37:23Oh, yes, sir. About a half an hour ago.
00:37:25He had his car brought around and then his miss William.
00:37:28Where did he go? Do you know?
00:37:29Not the slightest idea, sir.
00:37:30I didn't see him, but William said he was all muffled up.
00:37:33Oh.
00:37:35Stack, I wish you'd ring me at home when he comes in.
00:37:38Very good, sir. And shall I wait up for him, sir?
00:37:40Well, no.
00:37:41If he comes in soon, you might ring me.
00:37:43Otherwise, go to bed. I'll see him in the morning.
00:37:44Very good, sir.
00:37:45Good night, Stack.
00:37:46Good night, Mr. Blake.
00:37:56Ah, put him in the room after surgery in the East Wing.
00:37:59How could you be so inhuman as to infect him with that disease in Ord's bargain for his daughter?
00:38:20Who gave you that idea?
00:38:22You left the dictograph open. I heard every word that was said.
00:38:26Forget what you heard. It does not concern you.
00:38:28I'll not forget.
00:38:30If you don't give up that insane idea of marrying Patricia Lawrence, I'll tell the truth about you.
00:38:35You would not dare.
00:38:36Oh, yes, I would.
00:38:38Does this mean that I have completely lost your loyalty?
00:38:42You speak of loyalty. You don't even know the meaning of the word.
00:38:46You seem to forget all the things I've done for you.
00:38:50I've even risked my life for you, hoping that you might realize how much I love you.
00:38:53That someday you might return that love.
00:38:55But no.
00:38:57All I meant for you was just someone to help you attain your own selfish aims.
00:39:01I'm tired of it.
00:39:03I can't stand it any longer. Do you hear me?
00:39:05I can't stand it!
00:39:07I'll never let you marry that girl.
00:39:09Never!
00:39:10Never!
00:39:11Never!
00:39:17Maxine.
00:39:20You heard nothing.
00:39:22You heard nothing.
00:39:25You heard nothing.
00:39:28Now go to your work.
00:39:46You heard nothing.
00:39:59You heard nothing.
00:40:01No?
00:40:03No?
00:40:07No?
00:40:08No?
00:40:11No?
00:42:20Go back in the other room.
00:47:01Good morning doctor.
00:47:07The bodice cage was left unlocked last night.
00:47:09No.
00:47:10Really.
00:47:11Why he could have killed somebody.
00:47:13Yes he could have killed me if Ace hadn't heard me scream and driven him back again to the cage.
00:47:17Oh well you are very fortunate.
00:47:18Very.
00:47:19I swear, my heck, I could have lost a valuable assistant.
00:47:22How do you suppose the cage was left unlocked?
00:47:25Oh, I suppose the attendant was careless.
00:47:27I shall discharge him immediately.
00:47:36Look, Doctor.
00:47:37It's normal.
00:47:39You've discovered a cure.
00:47:44Oh, Maxine, it is marvelous.
00:47:46Maxine, this is great, you know what it means.
00:47:49It means that I can ask my own price, I can...
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:57Oh, by the way, Maxine, I have a special prescription I want filled at Handcuff and Groves.
00:48:03You will go and see to it yourself, personally.
00:48:17Couldn't it be ordered over the phone?
00:48:19If I wanted it that way, I would have said so.
00:48:22Very well.
00:48:46Good morning, Mr. Jack.
00:48:47Good morning, Miss Laudan.
00:48:48Have you taken my father's breakfast?
00:48:49No.
00:48:50No.
00:48:51No.
00:48:52No.
00:48:53No.
00:48:54No.
00:48:55No.
00:48:56No.
00:48:57No.
00:48:58No.
00:48:59No.
00:49:00No.
00:49:01No.
00:49:02No.
00:49:03No.
00:49:04No.
00:49:05No.
00:49:06No.
00:49:07No.
00:49:08No.
00:49:09No.
00:49:10No.
00:49:11No.
00:49:12No.
00:49:13No.
00:49:14So, yes.
00:49:15I thought I was a madman.
00:49:16Good morning, Est Howe.
00:49:17Good morning, Mr. Laudan.
00:49:18Have you taken my father's breakfast, in turn there?
00:49:19No, I hadn't.
00:49:20You haven't?
00:49:21Why not?
00:49:22Well, as a matter of fact, your father isn't in.
00:49:23Isn't in.
00:49:24Where did he go?
00:49:25I don't know, he didn't say.
00:49:26When did he go?
00:49:27I can't exactly say, some time last night.
00:49:28Last night?
00:49:29Yes, Miss.
00:49:30You mean he's been away all night and left no word?
00:49:32Absolutely none.
00:49:34I'll get it.
00:49:36Hello.
00:49:39Yes, Miss Laudan speaking.
00:49:40No.
00:49:41Yes, Miss Lawrence speaking.
00:49:43Uh, this is Dr. Markov.
00:49:45Now, please don't be alarmed, but your father came to me last night for a consultation.
00:49:50Father came to you last night for a consultation?
00:49:53Yes.
00:49:54I found it advisable to keep him here for observation.
00:49:58How, how is he?
00:49:59Well, he's quite comfortable now.
00:50:01He is quite comfortable, Miss Lawrence, I assure you.
00:50:04I'll be right over and pick him up and bring him home.
00:50:07I would, uh, strongly advise against taking him home, Miss Lawrence.
00:50:11But why?
00:50:12I can't leave him there.
00:50:14Do you think I should take him to a hospital?
00:50:16I suggest you leave him right where he is, Miss Lawrence.
00:50:19You see, I have all the facilities here to take care of him in my sanatorium.
00:50:24Oh, I, I didn't know you had a sanatorium, too.
00:50:28I'll be right there.
00:50:31When Mr. Blake arrives, tell him I've gone to Dr. Markov's.
00:50:351335 Cliff Drive.
00:50:36Dr. Markov's.
00:50:381335 Cliff Drive.
00:50:39Yes.
00:50:40Very well, Miss.
00:50:41Lawrence, I want you to try hard to understand what I'm saying.
00:51:09Try hard.
00:51:11Uh-huh.
00:51:12This is Dr. Markov.
00:51:14I can save you, Lawrence.
00:51:16I can cure you.
00:51:18Do you hear me?
00:51:20Yes.
00:51:21I can hear you.
00:51:23Good.
00:51:25Remember that I am the only one that can cure you, and I will cure you in one condition.
00:51:28Uh-huh.
00:51:29A very simple condition, Lawrence.
00:51:31Uh-huh.
00:51:32Your daughter is on her way over here now.
00:51:34No!
00:51:34I want you to persuade her to be very agreeable to me.
00:51:38No.
00:51:39You can convince her that it is you she is coming to see.
00:51:42You can tell her that I am helping you.
00:51:43No.
00:51:45That is a very little thing to ask for your cure.
00:51:49No!
00:51:49No!
00:51:50No!
00:51:50No!
00:51:53Very well.
00:51:55We shall see about that.
00:51:56Dr. Markov, please.
00:52:07Come in.
00:52:08Dr. Markov wants you to wait in there.
00:52:10Come in.
00:52:26How long ago does she leave for Dr. Markov's stack?
00:52:52About a half an hour ago, I should say to her.
00:52:54I'll have to step on it.
00:52:551335 Clif Drive, you said.
00:52:56That's correct, sir.
00:53:02I do not have to cure you, Lawrence.
00:53:04Because nobody knows I have discovered a cure.
00:53:07Oh.
00:53:09Oh.
00:53:13Miss Lawrence is here.
00:53:19I...
00:53:20I...
00:53:21I...
00:53:22I...
00:53:55Miss Lawrence.
00:53:58Oh, it is a great pleasure seeing you again.
00:54:02Dr. Markov, how is my father?
00:54:04He's resting comfortably.
00:54:07Please be frank with me.
00:54:08What's the matter with him?
00:54:09It's a glandular ailment.
00:54:11How serious is it?
00:54:12Well, Miss Lawrence, I'm afraid it is quite serious,
00:54:14particularly in your father's case.
00:54:16Quite particularly so in his case, Dr. Markov.
00:54:19Well, you see, the peculiar disease your father is suffering from
00:54:23causes extreme enlargement of the extremities,
00:54:26the hands, feet, and certain portions of the head.
00:54:29In a professional pianist, it is fatal,
00:54:32that is, to the continuance of his career, I mean.
00:54:35Not only are his fingers incapacitated
00:54:37for the intricacies of delicate performance,
00:54:40but his very appearance,
00:54:41upon which so much depends for public approval,
00:54:44is most an inviting.
00:54:45Dr. Markov, how does it happen my father came to you?
00:54:52I think you will find that your Dr. Adams sent him to me.
00:54:56Dr. Adams?
00:54:57Yes.
00:54:58Dr. Adams made exhaustive tests,
00:55:01and in consultation with several eminent colleagues of his,
00:55:04diagnosed your father's case,
00:55:06and correctly so, as acromegaly.
00:55:10Acromegaly?
00:55:11I never heard of it.
00:55:13Few have.
00:55:13It is very rare.
00:55:14And since glandular disturbances are my special field,
00:55:18and acromegaly my particular interest,
00:55:21your father was advised to consult me.
00:55:23With what results?
00:55:25I am anxious to cure your father, Miss Lawrence.
00:55:28Most anxious.
00:55:29Providing he is willing to obey my instructions through the letter.
00:55:34Do you anticipate any lack of cooperation on his part, Dr. Markov?
00:55:38Perhaps some.
00:55:39You see, Miss Lawrence, it is rather long and slow treatment.
00:55:42Naturally, a man of your father's nervous temperament
00:55:45will be impatient, obstinate, even rebellious on occasion.
00:55:49Progressively so, as the brain begins to function more normally.
00:55:53You see, Miss Lawrence,
00:55:55your father is mentally incompetent.
00:55:57Incompetent.
00:55:58You...
00:55:59You mean he's...
00:56:01Oh, well, shall we say, uh, temporarily unbalanced mentally.
00:56:06The functioning of the pituitary, uh, being aggravated by pressure,
00:56:11makes the patient physically violent on occasion,
00:56:14and great care must be taken that he does not do violence to himself or to others.
00:56:18Dr. Markov, I'm my father.
00:56:23I can easily understand your need to do so, Miss Lawrence.
00:56:26And I would gladly save you the pain if I could.
00:56:29But I know you will not be satisfied unless you do see him for yourself.
00:56:33Besides, it will give you a basis for comparison.
00:56:36It will give you new hope from day to day as you see him improve.
00:56:39Where is he? Take me to him.
00:56:41In a moment.
00:56:42But remember, although he is still under a sedative,
00:56:44he might easily be aroused to violence.
00:56:46I would advise not to excite him,
00:56:48merely to reassure him that he will receive the very best of care,
00:56:51that you will sit with yourself personally,
00:56:53and that you recommend he do everything possible to cooperate with us.
00:56:57I will, I will. Take me to him.
00:57:00This way, Miss Lawrence.
00:57:14You know what to do.
00:57:30And, uh, remember, Miss Lawrence, advise your father.
00:57:33Fullest cooperation in everywhere possible.
00:57:44You can't go in there, Maxine.
00:58:14What up?
00:58:15Dr. Markov said so.
00:58:17What?
00:58:20Father, speak to me.
00:58:26It's Pat.
00:58:28Father.
00:58:29Speak to me.
00:58:30It's Pat.
00:58:31It's Patricia, Father.
00:58:33I'm here.
00:58:35You're going to be all right.
00:58:36Dr. Markov said so.
00:58:38Markov?
00:58:39Yes.
00:58:40He's going to cure you.
00:58:41He and I.
00:58:41Markov!
00:58:42Markov!
00:58:44Markov!
00:58:44No!
00:58:45No!
00:58:45No!
00:58:47Markov!
00:58:49Markov!
00:58:50No!
00:58:51No!
00:58:53Dr. Markov, why is he strapped down?
00:58:55To prevent his doing violence to himself or to others, Miss Lawrence.
00:58:59Take them off.
00:59:00Take them off, do you hear?
00:59:01Well, that would be very dangerous.
00:59:03Take them off, I say.
00:59:04Take them off at once.
00:59:06Stop that.
00:59:06Calm yourself.
00:59:07Calm yourself, Miss Lawrence.
00:59:09I don't care what you say.
00:59:10You can't treat him like a wild animal.
00:59:11There's a necessary precaution, Miss Lawrence.
00:59:13If he were to become violent, he would be extremely dangerous.
00:59:16I don't care what you say.
00:59:17You can't treat him like a wild animal.
00:59:19His recovery depends solely on you.
00:59:21What do you mean?
00:59:22I will cure your father when you decide to become my wife.
00:59:25Let go of me.
00:59:26I'll never marry you.
00:59:27Never is a long time.
00:59:29Some people do change their minds.
00:59:32Let me go!
00:59:50Let me go!
00:59:54Oh, my God.
01:00:24Oh, my God, I need help.
01:00:49Is he all right?
01:00:50Yes, he's just fainted.
01:00:54Dr. Markov was the only man who could cure Dad.
01:01:01With him dead, there's not much hope left.
01:01:04Oh, yes, there is, Miss Lawrence.
01:01:07I'm familiar with the serum Dr. Markov has perfected for the cure.
01:01:11He has been using it to bargain with your father for you.
01:01:14He'll be all right.
01:01:17It might take a little while, but he'll be all right.
