WEBVTT 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:26.219 And now, Mystery Theater. Come in. Welcome. I'm 00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:31.070 E .G. Marshall. Once again, It's time for that 00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:35.030 journey through the world's most mysterious landscape, 00:00:35.929 --> 00:00:40.950 the complex mind of a human being. What does 00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:47.049 the mirror show you? Does the mirror know more 00:00:47.049 --> 00:00:52.890 than appears on the surface? How deeply can it 00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:59.679 probe? Consider a lady named Helen Stewart. What 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.799 is it? Tell me, what is it? Look! Look at what? 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.280 Look at the mirror. What about the mirror? Well, 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.659 can't you see? I'm not in it. I'm not in the 00:01:11.659 --> 00:01:17.700 mirror. I've lost my reflection. Fred, do you 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:21.180 know what this means? Please, Helen. It means 00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:26.879 I no longer exist. It means I've... I've disappeared. 00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:44.510 Our mystery drama, Mirror for Murder, was written 00:01:44.510 --> 00:01:47.769 especially for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dann 00:01:47.769 --> 00:02:06.670 and stars Celeste Holm. Future historians will 00:02:06.670 --> 00:02:10.069 look back on our times, and they will, of course, 00:02:10.189 --> 00:02:14.129 give them a name. It's fairly safe to assume 00:02:14.129 --> 00:02:18.009 that our era will probably be called the Age 00:02:18.009 --> 00:02:21.490 of Women. Women are no longer content merely 00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:24.990 to cook and clean and care for a man. Some women 00:02:24.990 --> 00:02:28.129 are quite vocal about it. However, these are 00:02:28.129 --> 00:02:31.830 not the ones to cause us concern. Men should 00:02:31.830 --> 00:02:36.969 worry about those quiet ones. For instance, Today 00:02:36.969 --> 00:02:39.729 it's breakfast as usual at the home of Fred and 00:02:39.729 --> 00:02:43.189 Helen Stewart. This means that although it's 00:02:43.189 --> 00:02:46.250 not even eight o 'clock, Fred has already been 00:02:46.250 --> 00:02:48.469 on the phone for the better part of an hour. 00:02:49.090 --> 00:02:53.669 But on this particular morning, quiet, uncomplaining 00:02:53.669 --> 00:02:58.090 Helen Stewart does something shocking. She suddenly 00:02:58.090 --> 00:03:02.090 reaches over and for no apparent reason disconnects 00:03:02.090 --> 00:03:07.409 the telephone. Helen, why? Why did you do that? 00:03:07.430 --> 00:03:11.449 Why did you cut me off? I don't know but Helen 00:03:11.449 --> 00:03:15.530 You knew that I was talking to Senator Warren 00:03:15.530 --> 00:03:21.110 you cut us off Senator Warren is an old drunk 00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:24.590 James J. Warren is the majority leader. Oh, yes 00:03:24.590 --> 00:03:28.370 He is he certainly is senator Warren is the majority 00:03:28.370 --> 00:03:31.349 leader because he makes a great many major leads 00:03:31.349 --> 00:03:34.669 Especially with his hands under the table when 00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:37.180 we're out to dinner What are you talking about? 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.680 You know, 15 years ago, if I'd told you that, 00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:43.099 you'd have punched the senator in the nose. Now 00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:45.020 you look at me and say, what are you talking 00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:49.659 about? Helen. Or Jim. Yeah. Yeah, cut off, I 00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:54.419 guess. Certainly, Jim, I'll hold on. Helen, I 00:03:54.419 --> 00:03:56.919 simply have to talk to the senator before he 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.319 leaves. You might want to talk to me before I 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.539 leave, too. Now, what is that supposed to mean? 00:04:01.539 --> 00:04:04.280 Just what it sounds like. Look, we can't afford 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.759 an argument just before I go to... When can we 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.419 afford it? Darling, be sensible. The committee's 00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:12.639 considering the entire budget. You know what's 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.379 at stake. Of course. And... Jim! Yeah, yeah, 00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:21.040 great. Tonight? No, no, no trouble at all. I'll 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:28.740 be there. You bet. Thanks, Jim. Bye. Am I to 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:30.920 assume from that conversation that you won't... 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.360 be home to dinner tonight either? Senator Warren 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.500 wants me to meet with the finance committee people 00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:41.100 for dinner. I see. Well, they have to be briefed. 00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:44.399 Naturally. I'll try to cut it as short as I can. 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.079 We have tickets for the opera tonight. Remember? 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:55.079 Oh. Well, look, why don't you go and I could 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.279 pick you up after? If I'm going to go to places 00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.699 alone, I don't have to be married. Oh, Helen. 00:05:00.490 --> 00:05:03.449 Helen, just as soon as all this pressure is off... 00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:05.509 Poor Fred, you're having so much trouble trying 00:05:05.509 --> 00:05:08.310 to fit me into your schedule. What are you doing 00:05:08.310 --> 00:05:12.509 New Year's Eve? I resent that. Do you? If you 00:05:12.509 --> 00:05:14.329 didn't want me to go into politics, you should 00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:16.670 have said so. I don't recall that you ever asked 00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:21.139 me. Darling, this is the big break. Jim Warren 00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:23.459 is letting me write this bill. It'll be known 00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:26.120 as the Stewart Act. It'll revolutionize the concept 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.459 of education throughout the state. From here, 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.920 I can run for national office. First the House, 00:05:31.180 --> 00:05:34.000 then the Senate. Mm -hmm. Yes. Well, write me 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.019 a letter. Let me know how you make up. Well, 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.540 I want you to help me. Help you? How? Well, just... 00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:44.740 You know, just don't add to my... To your problems. 00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:48.350 Is that what you're trying to say? No. Just be 00:05:48.350 --> 00:05:50.790 a nice, quiet, obedient little lady. Is that 00:05:50.790 --> 00:05:53.209 what you mean? Oh, Helen, you can twist the meaning 00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:55.970 of everything you say. Fred, I'm having a problem. 00:05:56.149 --> 00:06:00.029 Oh, good Lord. Say 30. Fred, we have to talk 00:06:00.029 --> 00:06:03.490 about it. Yes, but does it have to be this minute? 00:06:03.910 --> 00:06:05.810 Well, sometimes you have to sit here and just 00:06:05.810 --> 00:06:09.329 look at me and talk to me and concentrate on 00:06:09.329 --> 00:06:12.709 me as if I were a human being worthy of your 00:06:12.709 --> 00:06:15.290 time and your attention. Helen, you know that 00:06:15.290 --> 00:06:20.939 I love you. Yeah, but that's not enough. You 00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:24.180 see, something's happening to me and I'm frightened. 00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:28.720 What could be happening? I'm scared. I feel as 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:34.939 if, as if I'm disappearing. Disappearing? Yes, 00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:39.600 disappearing as if I'm fading away, fading out. 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.459 What does that mean? As if I've become nothing, 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:49.019 nobody. Oh, but that's... That's what I can prove 00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:53.180 it there are times many times More and more times 00:06:53.180 --> 00:06:57.079 lately when I look into a mirror and I sort of 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:03.279 become hazy Blurry and then my image my reflection 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:11.420 isn't there It's just gone I'm gone Look, you've 00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:13.839 got to see dr. Gordon. Why do you keep sending 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.829 me to other men Fred? I know what's happening. 00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:21.110 I am disappearing. I'm fading out of your life. 00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:24.550 Now that is not true. I need you more than ever. 00:07:24.649 --> 00:07:28.810 For what? We'll talk about it tonight. But you 00:07:28.810 --> 00:07:31.850 won't be here tonight. Tomorrow morning. I may 00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:35.370 not be here tomorrow morning. What? I may be 00:07:35.370 --> 00:07:38.649 gone. Gone? Gone where? I don't know. Where do 00:07:38.649 --> 00:07:43.529 people go when they disappear? I'll answer it. 00:07:46.299 --> 00:07:50.660 Hello? Just a moment. It's the senator's office. 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.360 Should I tell him you're busy and you'll call 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:56.199 back? How can I tell him I'm busy? Give me the 00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.959 phone. I see. Hello? Yes, I'll hold on. Helen, 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.579 I... Goodbye, Fred. Where are you going? Where 00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:08.259 am I going? Fred, look in the mirror. Just look, 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:13.019 Fred. In just a minute. Hello? Jim? Yeah. Oh, 00:08:13.019 --> 00:08:14.759 I've got all the figures, everything we need. 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:18.160 Look in the mirror, Fred. I've disappeared. No, 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.360 Jim, we've got solid proof. Where did I go, Fred? 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.699 Where did I go? Please, Fred, tell me what happened 00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:28.939 to me. Jim, the opposition will simply have to 00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:31.259 throw in the towel. Nobody can afford to vote 00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:34.419 against this bill. Fred, where did I go? You 00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:37.440 can control every single dollar. Fred, I'm going 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.750 to have to... Find myself. The voters know whom 00:08:41.750 --> 00:08:45.230 to thank for it. Goodbye, Fred. Goodbye. Jim, 00:08:45.330 --> 00:08:47.889 the newspaper's deleted. How can we possibly 00:08:47.889 --> 00:09:00.389 lose? The key to 247, please. Here you are, Miss 00:09:00.389 --> 00:09:03.330 Craig. How did you enjoy the skiing this morning? 00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:07.429 Fine, thank you. Planning to stay with us for 00:09:07.429 --> 00:09:11.110 a while? Well, I... I know it's quiet here. We're 00:09:11.110 --> 00:09:14.250 off the beaten tourist path. I'll see. Oh, uh, 00:09:14.250 --> 00:09:17.710 you have a message, Miss Craig. A message? That's 00:09:17.710 --> 00:09:21.769 impossible. Impossible? Well, nobody... I mean, 00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:24.690 I don't see how anybody... A gentleman asked 00:09:24.690 --> 00:09:29.870 for you. For me? Yes, for Miss Helen Craig. That's 00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:33.450 you, isn't it? Yes, he said to tell you that 00:09:33.450 --> 00:09:36.549 he'd be waiting for you in the coffee shop. Oh, 00:09:36.549 --> 00:09:44.970 well, uh, thank you Hello Helen How did you know 00:09:44.970 --> 00:09:47.029 my name is Helen? Well, I've been waiting for 00:09:47.029 --> 00:09:49.389 you the past couple of days I didn't know for 00:09:49.389 --> 00:09:52.269 sure when you'd show what name you'd use. So 00:09:52.269 --> 00:09:55.370 I sneaked a peek at the register Helen Craig 00:09:55.370 --> 00:10:00.539 Well, that's as good a name as any What do you 00:10:00.539 --> 00:10:03.320 mean you're waiting for me? I don't know you 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.600 of course not. Let me introduce myself Mike Perry 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.860 Please tell me what this is about. Mr. Perry, 00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:13.700 you know, I never believed the contact would 00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:16.299 be a dame this woman's lip thing. It's running 00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:20.879 wild Although the dame is smart, but who'd figure 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.259 a day you obviously have me mistaken for someone 00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:27.240 else. No mistake You know it and I know it but 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.669 you're playing it right cool. Okay We're ready 00:10:29.669 --> 00:10:33.210 to deal. Once again, Mr. Perry, there seems to 00:10:33.210 --> 00:10:34.870 be some misunderstanding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, 00:10:34.909 --> 00:10:36.809 we gotta set up a meeting between you and my 00:10:36.809 --> 00:10:39.909 boss. He's due in tomorrow. He's got the dough 00:10:39.909 --> 00:10:42.970 and the details. Mr. Perry, please, excuse me. 00:10:42.970 --> 00:10:45.470 Sure, sure. I may want to talk to you later. 00:10:46.529 --> 00:10:49.809 You'll be around, won't you? Mr. Perry, please, 00:10:50.129 --> 00:10:52.830 whoever you are, do be good enough to excuse 00:10:52.830 --> 00:11:06.539 me. I'm afraid there's a mistake. I mean, I didn't 00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:10.580 know... Compliments of the house. Oh. Ah, me. 00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:14.639 Set this down. Well, thank you. My name is Farrell. 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.320 Yes? I've been assigned as your contact. My what? 00:11:19.820 --> 00:11:24.240 Your contact. Uh, what's going on? It's safe 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.899 to talk. I've checked the room out. There aren't 00:11:25.899 --> 00:11:29.320 any bugs. I don't understand. So you're Rose 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:33.340 Temple. I'm not any Rose Temple. You're mistaken. 00:11:33.419 --> 00:11:37.100 I'm Helen... Craig. Naturally, you wouldn't use 00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:39.759 your real name, but everybody in the department 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.080 knows about you, and I consider it a privilege 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.899 to work with you. Please, let me explain. A mistake 00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:48.940 is... You're very unorthodox, but you do get 00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:51.399 results. Well, what makes you think I'm... Simple. 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.419 We knew you'd be contacted by Mike Perry as soon 00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:57.059 as you got here. I've had Mike under surveillance 00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.440 every minute. Now, Rose... I'm not Rose. You're 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.059 absolutely right. You'll have to concentrate 00:12:03.059 --> 00:12:06.340 on your new identity. I'll call you Helen. How 00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:12.240 did you do it? How did I do what? Helen, I'm 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.580 on your side. How did you get them to think you 00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:19.000 had all those diamonds? Mr. Farrell, there's 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.120 something very wrong here. Okay, okay. There's 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.100 certain things I'm not required to know. I was 00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:27.200 just curious. Mr. Farrell. Did Mike Perry set 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.879 up the meeting yet? Mr. Farrell, why don't you 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.879 call me Jerry? You're making a big mistake You 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.519 never relaxed do you? Well, that's probably the 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.340 secret of your success. I simply don't know why 00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:41.679 you both think you'll have to tip us off as to 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.940 where the rendezvous is So we can move in and 00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:46.659 make the arrest. Oh, sure. Sure. I'll do that 00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:54.700 Look what what's that? Look look at what? the 00:12:54.700 --> 00:13:00.720 mirror What about the mirror? Are you okay? Oh, 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.980 yes, I'm fine. I'm all right Yeah, well, why 00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:16.480 don't you get some rest? I'll see you later Operator 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:28.200 is there a doctor nearby? I'm just an ordinary 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.399 old country doctor, you know, what do you think 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.620 about the mirror? I mean the mirror dr. Velo 00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:36.080 now tell me again back at home you disappeared 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.779 from the mirror right it could be a symbol of 00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:42.139 how Unimportant you think you've become I know 00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:45.820 that that's why I ran away. I thought I could 00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:49.940 find myself. Yes. Yes, I see Who are you really? 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.700 Oh, I don't want anyone to know your husband 00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:56.059 is probably worried. How worried Worried enough 00:13:56.059 --> 00:13:58.100 to tell the police to look for me. Well, perhaps 00:13:58.100 --> 00:14:00.659 but let's stay with your problem You ran away 00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:03.799 to find yourself and a few minutes ago You looked 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.620 in the mirror and you saw your image again. Is 00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:10.220 that what you're telling? Yes, but But what the 00:14:10.220 --> 00:14:13.659 image I saw well, I've never seen such an image 00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:16.419 of myself before I mean, I'm I'm filled with 00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:19.179 brightness a kind of glow look in the mirror 00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:24.299 again Yes. Yes. Yes. It's the same image It almost 00:14:24.299 --> 00:14:26.220 hurts my eyes to look. I mean, what does that 00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:29.679 mean? If that's how you see yourself, then it 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.240 could mean you've suddenly become important again. 00:14:32.259 --> 00:14:35.220 I mean, important to someone. Or that I'm having 00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:39.980 another hallucination. What kind? Oh, doctor, 00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:45.700 I... I'm hallucinating. I must be. That I'm some 00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:51.730 sort of an agent. An agent? A double agent. What 00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:54.870 do you mean? That I'm some sort of secret operative 00:14:54.870 --> 00:14:58.509 and I'm posing as a member of some powerful gang. 00:14:58.690 --> 00:15:00.409 I mean, I realize this must sound... No, no, 00:15:00.509 --> 00:15:01.870 that's all right. It's all right. Keep talking. 00:15:02.049 --> 00:15:04.529 Keep talking. It seems I'm here to contact some 00:15:04.529 --> 00:15:07.429 powerful racketeer, at which time there will 00:15:07.429 --> 00:15:09.950 be an arrest or a shootout or whatever happens 00:15:09.950 --> 00:15:13.509 at such a meeting. I don't know. I haven't hallucinated 00:15:13.509 --> 00:15:16.909 that far yet. And what form does all this take? 00:15:17.710 --> 00:15:20.529 Well, I've been approached by a man who has identified 00:15:20.529 --> 00:15:23.649 himself as a member of some gang. And then I've 00:15:23.649 --> 00:15:26.629 been contacted by someone who's evidently my 00:15:26.629 --> 00:15:29.049 colleague in a law enforcement agency. Well, 00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:31.350 does all this happen at night? I mean, could 00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:33.570 these be dreams? No, I mean, it happened less 00:15:33.570 --> 00:15:36.690 than an hour ago. I actually spoke to the gangster 00:15:36.690 --> 00:15:38.809 in the coffee shop and to the government agent 00:15:38.809 --> 00:15:41.870 in my room. Well, then, why do you say these 00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:44.470 are hallucinations? How could they possibly be 00:15:44.470 --> 00:15:54.669 anything else? What we're up against here is 00:15:54.669 --> 00:15:59.029 reality. We have witnessed a scene between Helen 00:15:59.029 --> 00:16:03.370 and Mr. Perry, and between Helen and Mr. Farrell. 00:16:03.929 --> 00:16:08.070 It all sounded real. But Helen is a troubled 00:16:08.070 --> 00:16:12.850 lady. And either way, it's a troubled situation. 00:16:13.710 --> 00:16:16.570 If it's a fantasy, that's one kind of trouble. 00:16:17.409 --> 00:16:20.789 If it should happen to be real, it's another 00:16:20.789 --> 00:16:25.350 kind of trouble. However it goes, I'll be back 00:16:25.350 --> 00:16:28.389 with some answers when I return shortly with 00:16:28.389 --> 00:16:40.769 Act II. There comes a time in the lives of many 00:16:40.769 --> 00:16:46.330 women when they feel unwanted, neglected. Gone 00:16:46.330 --> 00:16:50.629 is purpose, identity. And so they suddenly go 00:16:50.629 --> 00:16:53.990 out to search. for that all -important identity. 00:16:54.950 --> 00:16:58.610 Such a woman is Helen Stewart, wife of a rising 00:16:58.610 --> 00:17:02.690 politician. We find her in a remote mountain 00:17:02.690 --> 00:17:06.630 resort, where it seems that two other men have 00:17:06.630 --> 00:17:11.470 found her as well, a racketeer and a police agent, 00:17:12.269 --> 00:17:16.049 each of whom thinks she is there for a rendezvous. 00:17:16.829 --> 00:17:22.500 Or is all this in her mind? Is there really a 00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:26.079 racketeer? Is there really a police agent? Are 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.259 you saying, Dr. Bellows, that I'm not hallucinating? 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.660 You mean that I've actually been approached? 00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:34.740 No, no, but we must consider every possibility. 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.140 Well then, what should I do? Well, in addition 00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:43.380 to everything else, Miss... Craig. Well, if you 00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:45.420 were to use that name, it's all right with me, 00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:48.859 but you really should tell me who you are. No. 00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:53.220 Now I can't treat you if you don't trust me doctor 00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:55.980 you might feel called upon to get in touch with 00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:58.599 my husband And I just couldn't stand that why 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.940 if you should be in trouble Psychologically wouldn't 00:18:01.940 --> 00:18:06.039 you want him to know I? Left him so I could do 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.980 something for myself. I'm not gonna run back 00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:11.500 to him at the first sign of Trouble, I mean whatever 00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:14.319 that trouble is well. We must find out what the 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.240 trouble is first We must make sure that you are 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.119 hallucinating. How? Well, now let me see. You've 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.099 been approached by two men. What are their names? 00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:29.259 Well, the one who seems to be the gangster calls 00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:32.500 himself Mike Perry. The other one, Jerry Farrell, 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.759 claims to be a police agent. He works here as 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.779 a bellman. But how is this... Let's find out 00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:40.720 who they really are. Frank Winslow, who owns 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.740 the place, is a close friend. I can get the information 00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:46.599 from him. Doctor, why am I doing this? I mean, 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:48.500 those two men, I've never seen them before in 00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:50.480 my life. Why should I...? You've probably seen 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.420 them before. Where? Oh, in the movies, or at 00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:55.960 least men who resemble them, and you've projected 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.160 yourself into a situation. What if I keep hallucinating? 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.559 What if they approach me again? If they do, it's 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.470 because you want them to. They help to support 00:19:05.470 --> 00:19:08.750 your need for importance. But I can't go through 00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:12.069 life in met... What am I going to do? Now look, 00:19:12.509 --> 00:19:15.089 you've already started to do the right thing. 00:19:15.490 --> 00:19:17.549 You're trying to come to grips with the problem. 00:19:18.130 --> 00:19:22.069 Now remember, whatever you do, don't panic, don't 00:19:22.069 --> 00:19:26.390 waste your energy. Just be quiet, calm, rational, 00:19:27.289 --> 00:19:38.769 and everything will be alright. Well, how come 00:19:38.769 --> 00:19:41.369 you ain't on the slopes? I'd rather sit here 00:19:41.369 --> 00:19:44.089 and read. Mind if I join you? Buy you a drink? 00:19:44.170 --> 00:19:48.529 I don't drink. Well, let's talk, anyhow. About 00:19:48.529 --> 00:19:52.190 what, Mr... Uh, Perry. As if you don't remember. 00:19:53.509 --> 00:19:57.950 Okay. We'll talk, Mr. Perry. The, uh, the big 00:19:57.950 --> 00:20:00.849 fellow. I'm supposed to tell you this. He ain't 00:20:00.849 --> 00:20:02.950 gonna be here till day after tomorrow. Now, don't 00:20:02.950 --> 00:20:05.049 blow your stack. Believe me, I had no intention... 00:20:05.049 --> 00:20:07.809 Oh, you don't kid me, baby. You don't give nothing 00:20:07.809 --> 00:20:11.849 away. But you must be doing a burn. Really? Why? 00:20:12.549 --> 00:20:14.730 Because every day you hold that ice, the hotter 00:20:14.730 --> 00:20:17.349 it gets and the more it can melt. Oh? You were 00:20:17.349 --> 00:20:19.069 told you could have the deal tomorrow. Okay. 00:20:19.549 --> 00:20:23.269 You showed up. But where's the big fella? I don't 00:20:23.269 --> 00:20:26.569 know. Where? Ah, his daughter's getting married 00:20:26.569 --> 00:20:29.990 tomorrow. So he can't make it. Well, that sounds 00:20:29.990 --> 00:20:32.089 reasonable enough. Well, that's no way to do 00:20:32.089 --> 00:20:36.549 business. And you know it. So I was thinking... 00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:41.440 Why not do business with me? With you? Look, 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.599 the big fella can't last much longer anyhow. 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:47.900 I mean, what if I can raise by tomorrow morning 00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:51.119 half of what the big fella offered? It's less. 00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:55.000 But you got this one advantage. You know? With 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.400 me, you got a deal. Cash on the line. You're 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:05.690 out. You're clean. What do you say? Ah! Let me 00:21:05.690 --> 00:21:17.109 think about it. I didn't know you could skate. 00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:22.690 What are you doing here, Mr. Farrell? I, uh, 00:21:22.690 --> 00:21:26.410 keeping an eye on you. Oh. You were observed 00:21:26.410 --> 00:21:29.349 in the lounge talking with our friend Mr. Perry. 00:21:29.829 --> 00:21:35.029 Oh, so? So, let's sit down. Nice quiet little 00:21:35.029 --> 00:21:38.289 table. I'll buy you some hot chocolate And you 00:21:38.289 --> 00:21:41.549 can tell me about it. Well, I'd rather skate 00:21:41.549 --> 00:21:44.450 if you don't mind I need the exercise that conversation 00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:48.410 with Perry. Oh The scheduled meeting can't take 00:21:48.410 --> 00:21:52.430 place tomorrow. Why not? The big fella's daughter 00:21:52.430 --> 00:21:55.809 is getting married. What's the new date day after? 00:21:56.609 --> 00:21:59.990 I don't like it Every extra hour makes it more 00:21:59.990 --> 00:22:02.920 dangerous for you Well, there was an alternate 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.140 suggestion. Yeah, I could deal directly with 00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:09.440 Perry with Perry He's willing to double -cross 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:13.619 the big fella So Perry figures to move against 00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:18.799 his boss That makes it very rough for you. Why? 00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:22.819 Do you agree to deal with him? I'm thinking it 00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:27.559 over supposedly bad He's given himself away as 00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:31.450 soon as he realizes you're expendable What can 00:22:31.450 --> 00:22:35.230 happen? You'll set up a meeting place. You show 00:22:35.230 --> 00:22:38.470 up with the diamonds, you get killed. But I... 00:22:38.470 --> 00:22:41.769 That's why I have to be there. We have to get 00:22:41.769 --> 00:22:45.650 Perry first. Oh. Of course, this blows the objective 00:22:45.650 --> 00:22:48.230 the office had set up to catch the big fella, 00:22:48.289 --> 00:22:50.950 but we have to save your life, huh? All right, 00:22:51.150 --> 00:22:53.380 where are the diamonds? The diamonds. Never mind, 00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.779 never mind. It's better if I don't know. But 00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:58.779 there are no... So Perry has decided to make 00:22:58.779 --> 00:23:01.200 his move against the big fella at last, huh? 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.099 I'll have to check back and find out how we're 00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:07.640 supposed to play this. Meanwhile, you have a 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.880 weapon I don't know about? A weapon? Yeah. Word 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.019 is that you never carry a gun. I checked out 00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:15.839 your luggage, but I can't believe you don't have 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.799 something on you somewhere. You have a gun? No. 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.059 You know, you're too good to be true. What does 00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:30.180 that mean? Yeah The most unlikely agent I've 00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:33.000 ever met well, maybe that's cuz I'm not oh no, 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.319 you are you are And now I know how you made your 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:42.720 reputation. It's that air of innocence Naivete 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.190 and that's your strength your armor Well, you 00:23:47.190 --> 00:23:49.190 can get away with that against the upper -crust 00:23:49.190 --> 00:23:51.970 criminals. The what? The upper -crust, the gentlemen. 00:23:53.269 --> 00:23:55.690 The con artists, the flim -flammers, those are 00:23:55.690 --> 00:23:58.170 the guys you've tangled with. Bust one of those 00:23:58.170 --> 00:24:03.369 guys, they come along quietly, but now you're 00:24:03.369 --> 00:24:07.930 up against killers. Make sure I'm always close 00:24:07.930 --> 00:24:12.250 to you. Don't make a move unless you tell me. 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.660 I've been hallucinating. I think I've just had 00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:31.599 a discussion with both of those men. The racketeer 00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.779 and the government agent? Yes, doctor. And how 00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:38.420 did it go? Frightening as it seems so real. Are 00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:42.500 you near a mirror? Yes. Look at yourself. All 00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:48.480 right. What is it? I've never, never seen myself 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.539 in such clear outlines, such sharp detail, such 00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:59.829 brilliant colors. I am? These men you're talking 00:24:59.829 --> 00:25:02.970 to. Yes? Well, I had to go on the basis that 00:25:02.970 --> 00:25:05.829 anything can be possible until proved otherwise. 00:25:07.450 --> 00:25:38.900 Doctor, do you mean they can be real? I see. 00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:43.299 So now, we can definitely dismiss these as fantasies. 00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:46.039 Hallucinations, call them what you will. Yes, 00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:49.240 I can't tell you how relieved I am, Doctor. The 00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:51.660 situation was beginning to take a dangerous turn. 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.359 Well, perhaps you'd better come over here. I'll 00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:56.400 give you some medication that will let you get 00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.980 some rest. You see, you have to start building 00:25:58.980 --> 00:26:01.960 yourself up now. Thank you, Doctor. I'll be there 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:12.269 right away. Why, Doctor? Why are they so real? 00:26:12.289 --> 00:26:15.089 Because, you see, you need them. You need them 00:26:15.089 --> 00:26:18.549 to restore yourself. Can't you see what's happened? 00:26:18.829 --> 00:26:22.789 What? Well, you felt as if you had been wiped 00:26:22.789 --> 00:26:26.329 out. So you retreated into fantasy to restore 00:26:26.329 --> 00:26:30.230 yourself. Yes. Well, that's all right for a start, 00:26:30.250 --> 00:26:33.910 but you will have to accept reality, you know. 00:26:34.369 --> 00:26:38.170 Find yourself, your identity in the real world. 00:26:38.170 --> 00:26:41.869 Yes, I know. back to your husband. Oh, I'm not 00:26:41.869 --> 00:26:49.250 sure I want to. Do you love him? Yes. And does 00:26:49.250 --> 00:26:54.549 he love you? Well, I think so, but what good 00:26:54.549 --> 00:26:56.470 is love if all it does is to make two people 00:26:56.470 --> 00:26:59.789 unhappy? If you love each other, you'll find 00:26:59.789 --> 00:27:02.869 a way to live together without destroying either 00:27:02.869 --> 00:27:08.220 one of you. Oh, I don't know. Oh, excuse me. 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:10.420 Someone's come into my waiting room. I'll be 00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:19.240 back in just a minute. Go back to him? Go back 00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:25.019 to Fred? Oh... Maybe if we... If we could sit 00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:31.019 down and try to understand... Doctor! Doctor 00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:42.119 Bellows! What does it look like I just knocked 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.200 off this quack here, that's what I done why dr. 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:49.579 Dr. Bellows Hey, what's with you kid? You like 00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:55.019 to talk to stiffs? You killed him You killed 00:27:55.019 --> 00:27:59.579 dr. Bellows. Hey You catch on quick boy. Why? 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:02.519 Because he's working with the cops. That's why 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:05.079 working with the car. Sure. He's been asking 00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:07.799 questions. Try to get a make on me You know what 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:12.519 this means, don't you? It means he's dead and 00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:27.400 this is real. He's dead and this is real. She 00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.700 looks at the dead man lying on the floor and 00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:34.859 then she glances in the mirror and there she 00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:40.680 is larger than life. Huge, grotesque. Her dress 00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:43.720 in the mirror is stained and spattered with red. 00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:48.119 But that's in the mirror, and she knows that's 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.579 fantasy. But what is reality, plain and stark, 00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:57.640 is Dr. Bellows dead on the floor, and the spreading 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:02.539 crimson stain on the carpet. That's real. That's 00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:19.640 death. I shall return shortly with Act 3. For 00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:24.240 some, life is an unstable blend of reality and 00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:28.740 fantasy. Normal people solve the problem by dreaming 00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:31.819 fantasy and living reality as nearly as they 00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:36.940 can. But sometimes, common sense, rational thinking 00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:41.920 crumble under the stress, and then reality and 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.599 fantasy vie with each other for a person's sanity. 00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.160 Right now, What Helen Stewart is looking at is 00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:55.119 no fantasy. It's a dead body. And talking to 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:59.700 her is no figment of her imagination, but a living 00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:01.819 killer. He could have busted this thing wide 00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:04.119 open. And you and me could have landed in the 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:05.980 clink. But you didn't have to... Come off it, 00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:09.539 sister. You don't need that act anymore. You've 00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:12.319 seen plenty of stiffs in your day. You might 00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:16.299 have made your share of them, too. Now, uh, about 00:30:16.299 --> 00:30:21.529 the ice. The ice the diamonds you got no choice 00:30:21.529 --> 00:30:24.529 You got to deal with me now. It's me or nobody 00:30:24.529 --> 00:30:26.730 Neither one of us can hang around here much longer. 00:30:26.730 --> 00:30:30.549 It's gonna get hot. Mr. Perry You see I don't 00:30:30.549 --> 00:30:34.269 have what cops the cops the feds and I'll bet 00:30:34.269 --> 00:30:37.750 the Interpol guys are in on it, too You don't 00:30:37.750 --> 00:30:40.250 heist that kind of ice without everybody taking 00:30:40.250 --> 00:30:46.670 a hand Hey Tell me something How'd you do it? 00:30:47.190 --> 00:30:49.490 I want to get out of here. Oh, sure, sure. I 00:30:49.490 --> 00:30:53.549 shouldn't be bothering you with questions, but... 00:30:53.549 --> 00:30:56.430 What a caper that must have been, huh? I've got 00:30:56.430 --> 00:30:59.009 to get out of here. Okay. Let's get back to the 00:30:59.009 --> 00:31:01.569 hotel. You bring the ice to me, I'll be in my 00:31:01.569 --> 00:31:14.660 room. And I'll have something for you, too. I'd 00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:20.000 like to make a local call to dr. Bellows Yes, 00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:59.440 dr. Bellows I was there. And Mike Perry is a 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:07.099 killer. Now, now I need... Yes? Uh, there's a 00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:09.559 bellman. You know, the man named, uh, Farrell? 00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.579 Yes, Jerry Farrell. Yes, yes, that's the one. 00:32:13.819 --> 00:32:15.720 Could, could you send him up here right away? 00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:19.299 I'll try to find him. Please, uh, hurry. It's, 00:32:19.299 --> 00:32:30.160 it's very, very important. Well, who? It's from 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:33.539 the hotel here. All right. I'll put it through 00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:38.819 right now. Hey, you got the ice? Mister, why 00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:40.980 do you insist? I know for a fact it ain't in 00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:43.559 your room. Where have you got it stashed, huh? 00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:47.440 Mr. Perry, I think you ought to know. Maybe. 00:33:13.930 --> 00:33:16.609 I believe that's how you're registered? Yes, 00:33:16.609 --> 00:33:20.329 that's my name. Helen Craig. Uh -huh. I'm Sheriff 00:33:20.329 --> 00:33:24.690 Clagg, Iroquois County. Miss Craig, do you have 00:33:24.690 --> 00:33:28.549 any identification? Oh, what do you mean? Any 00:33:28.549 --> 00:33:32.269 papers that could prove you're Helen Craig? Why? 00:33:33.390 --> 00:33:36.170 Everybody has papers, drivers' licenses. I don't 00:33:36.170 --> 00:33:40.650 drive. Credit card? I always pay cash. And a 00:33:40.650 --> 00:33:42.670 checkbook with your name? I don't have a checking 00:33:42.670 --> 00:33:46.779 account. Ma 'am? You want me to believe you don't 00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:49.099 have a single piece of paper with your name on 00:33:49.099 --> 00:33:53.559 it that could serve as identification I That's 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:58.380 right. I don't suppose I have Where you live 00:33:58.380 --> 00:34:01.640 Where do I live? You're not from around here. 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:04.880 You have to live something. Well, I just moved 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.139 Where did you live before you moved? It was an 00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:15.679 apartment. I know the address 278 Northeast 86th 00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.099 Street, New York City? If we checked there, would 00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:22.519 we ever find a record of your having lived there? 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.420 Oh, yes. I'm sure you... Now, look, I may be 00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:28.260 a hit constable, ma 'am, but I know that New 00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:31.400 York City streets don't have Northeast or Northwest. 00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:34.360 Oh, well, then why? Why are you asking me all 00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.260 these questions? Dr. Paul Bellas was murdered 00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:40.679 less than an hour ago, and you were the last 00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.869 person to have seen him alive. Me matter of fact 00:34:45.869 --> 00:34:48.769 someone heard shots and saw you coming out of 00:34:48.769 --> 00:34:51.309 the house after all but I didn't you didn't what 00:34:51.309 --> 00:34:55.969 I didn't kill him I Didn't say you did But you 00:34:55.969 --> 00:35:00.449 was there while it happened That means you got 00:35:00.449 --> 00:35:07.869 some explaining to do. Oh, oh my lord. Oh Well, 00:35:08.110 --> 00:35:11.099 what is it? What you staring at the mirror for? 00:35:11.219 --> 00:35:14.980 Look, look at me. I'm, I'm... I feel all of it. 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.539 The whole glass. I'm, I'm, I'm twisted and hideous. 00:35:19.699 --> 00:35:22.420 Now, now, now calm yourself miss. Now take it 00:35:22.420 --> 00:35:25.579 easy. Sheriff, I'm not, I'm not Helen Craig. 00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:29.599 I mean that is, I'm not anymore. I'm Helen somebody 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:33.800 else now. Helen who? I'd rather not say. See, 00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:37.510 I blundered into something. I... I was mistaken 00:35:37.510 --> 00:35:39.989 for somebody else and then... Just tell us who 00:35:39.989 --> 00:35:42.769 your husband is and where you're from and we 00:35:42.769 --> 00:35:45.389 can clear this up quickly. Please, let me do 00:35:45.389 --> 00:35:49.329 it my way. I'm running away from him and I can't 00:35:49.329 --> 00:35:51.369 just call on him to help me the first time I 00:35:51.369 --> 00:35:54.170 get into trouble. But do you have any idea of 00:35:54.170 --> 00:35:57.110 how much trouble you might be in? Yes, yes, and 00:35:57.110 --> 00:36:00.469 it could ruin him. So, you see, I'd rather do 00:36:00.469 --> 00:36:03.480 it my way. What's your way? See, there's a man 00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.519 right here in the hotel. He can clear me. Like 00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:09.360 you, he's a law enforcement officer. What kind? 00:36:09.820 --> 00:36:14.559 Well, I gather, federal government. G -Man? T 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:19.019 -Man? Secret Service? Who? I really don't know, 00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:21.780 but he could satisfy you and clear me and... 00:36:21.780 --> 00:36:28.820 Who is he? Better let me get there. Sheriff Clegg? 00:36:30.219 --> 00:36:40.510 Yeah? Who? What's man's name? Farrell. Jerry 00:36:40.510 --> 00:36:50.889 Farrell. Who found him? Yeah, I see. Dead. Okay, 00:36:51.030 --> 00:36:53.829 I'll be there right away. What were you saying 00:36:53.829 --> 00:36:56.679 about... Jerry Farrell? It never rains, but it 00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:58.639 pours. First time we ever had a murder here, 00:36:58.659 --> 00:37:01.260 now we got two of them. This bellhop by the name 00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:03.559 of Jerry Farrell. Oh, but he is the government 00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:06.079 agent. You see, he could have told you. Told 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:12.079 you. Told me what? Sheriff. A man named Mike 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.780 Perry. See, he thought I was a member of the 00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:18.280 underworld and that I'd come here to make some 00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:21.460 sort of a deal. And then Mr. Farrell, who claimed 00:37:21.460 --> 00:37:23.969 to be a secret government agent, He insisted 00:37:23.969 --> 00:37:26.670 I was an undercover agent, and that I was here 00:37:26.670 --> 00:37:29.829 trying to trap this Mr. Perry. Yeah? Well, I 00:37:29.829 --> 00:37:32.510 thought it was all a hallucination. And I went 00:37:32.510 --> 00:37:36.269 to see Dr. Bellows. And I guess... I guess it 00:37:36.269 --> 00:37:40.130 was all real. What kind of deal were you supposed 00:37:40.130 --> 00:37:42.929 to make with Mr. Perry? I was supposed to sell 00:37:42.929 --> 00:37:46.809 him some stolen jewels. Where are the jewels? 00:37:46.849 --> 00:37:48.949 Well, I don't know. I never had... Then how can 00:37:48.949 --> 00:37:51.510 you sell them? Well, see, Mr. Farrell was supposed 00:37:51.510 --> 00:37:54.389 to arrange... Uh -huh. It all turns on Mr. Farrell, 00:37:54.550 --> 00:37:58.989 doesn't it? Mr. Farrell's dead. Now, about Dr. 00:37:59.210 --> 00:38:01.409 Bellows... Well, I have to tell you, Mr. Perry 00:38:01.409 --> 00:38:04.710 killed Dr. Bellows. Perry, huh? Well, that's 00:38:04.710 --> 00:38:06.690 the Mr. Perry who's registered in this hotel. 00:38:07.090 --> 00:38:12.989 He's a gangster. Mike Perry. He's the one. I'm 00:38:12.989 --> 00:38:15.769 afraid this has to be the end of the line. Mike 00:38:15.769 --> 00:38:18.030 Perry's been coming to this place more than ten 00:38:18.030 --> 00:38:21.250 years. Mr. Perry's a legitimate businessman from 00:38:21.250 --> 00:38:25.809 New York. But I saw him. I saw him kill Dr. Bellows. 00:38:25.929 --> 00:38:28.110 I saw him standing over Dr. Bellows' body with 00:38:28.110 --> 00:38:30.510 a gun in his hand. I heard him. And he said he'd 00:38:30.510 --> 00:38:32.489 just killed Dr. Bellows. Now, it won't be too 00:38:32.489 --> 00:38:34.570 bad for you. Well, try to believe me. I don't 00:38:34.570 --> 00:38:36.849 think it's first degree. That's a help right 00:38:36.849 --> 00:38:40.500 there. All these hallucinations, you probably 00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:43.480 got insanity working for you. Oh! Who knows, 00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:48.599 you could even get off. Oh! Now, uh, you want 00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:51.480 to tell us who you are. I can't! You'll have 00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:54.420 to come out. But I just can't! You just better 00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:57.000 sit there and think about it. If you're trying 00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:59.440 to protect your husband... It's not that, it's... 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:01.800 Sooner or later, we're going to find out who 00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:06.840 you are. Now just think about it. Sit here. I'll 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:11.119 be back. And whatever you do, don't try to leave 00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:16.820 this hotel. Sheriff, am I under arrest? What 00:39:16.820 --> 00:39:27.760 do you think? Who's there? What do you think, 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.840 baby? Oh, Mr. Perry. Well, where's the ice? I 00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:34.099 don't have it. You don't have it, huh? Now, what 00:39:34.099 --> 00:39:36.300 are you trying to do? Play me for a sucker? Mr. 00:39:36.539 --> 00:39:38.820 Perry, I have tried to explain. You would never 00:39:38.820 --> 00:39:41.179 listen. I'm not who you think I am. You figure 00:39:41.179 --> 00:39:43.360 you can make a better deal somewhere else. I'm 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.219 not out to make any deal. Now, will you please 00:39:46.219 --> 00:39:49.500 leave me alone? Uh -uh. No. Not till I get the 00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:51.440 ice. I'm in enough trouble. The sheriff thinks 00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:53.860 I killed Dr. Bellows. Don't hand me that. It's 00:39:53.860 --> 00:39:56.119 true. I'm here to finish the deal. All right. 00:39:56.920 --> 00:40:01.010 All right. The deal. With the big fella, as you 00:40:01.010 --> 00:40:04.789 call him. That was for... Ah, give or take. A 00:40:04.789 --> 00:40:07.090 million bucks. You said you could pay half, all 00:40:07.090 --> 00:40:14.690 right? Show me your money. Oh, I see. I see what 00:40:14.690 --> 00:40:17.230 this is. You want a deal? Where's the money? 00:40:17.329 --> 00:40:19.909 Well, the money... The money comes later. The 00:40:19.909 --> 00:40:23.670 money comes now. And I don't think you have it. 00:40:23.889 --> 00:40:29.289 You know, you could be right. That gun isn't 00:40:29.289 --> 00:40:33.190 going to help you Oh honey a gun always help 00:40:33.190 --> 00:40:36.289 shoot and they'll hear you not this time I got 00:40:36.289 --> 00:40:38.989 a silencer. What do you hope the ice is in this 00:40:38.989 --> 00:40:42.449 room? I'll find it. Mr. Perry. Meanwhile, I'll 00:40:42.449 --> 00:40:52.510 just take care of you don't Sheriff ah Sheriff, 00:40:52.510 --> 00:40:57.070 what are you doing? I saw him walk into your 00:40:57.070 --> 00:41:00.809 room, so I thought I'd listen. I was wrong about 00:41:00.809 --> 00:41:05.989 him. Hey, what's the matter? I think I'm gonna 00:41:05.989 --> 00:41:11.409 faint. Well, don't. Will my husband ever find 00:41:11.409 --> 00:41:15.650 out? We got to check with the government to see 00:41:15.650 --> 00:41:37.869 how much of this can be released. Hello, friend. 00:41:39.949 --> 00:41:48.110 I'll answer it. Hello. Just a minute. It's Senator 00:41:48.110 --> 00:41:51.969 Warren's office. Oh, that's the call I've been... 00:41:51.969 --> 00:41:59.769 No. Tell him I'm out. Mr. Stewart isn't in right 00:41:59.769 --> 00:42:06.760 now. Yes, he'll call you back. Goodbye. Where 00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:12.340 were you? Why? Did you miss me? Oh, I can't tell 00:42:12.340 --> 00:42:16.179 you how much. Well, you see, I just went away. 00:42:16.219 --> 00:42:20.059 Oh, I missed you so much. I almost went out of 00:42:20.059 --> 00:42:24.159 my mind. Did you? I tell you how crazy I was. 00:42:25.059 --> 00:42:29.059 I'd look in the mirror, and I'd actually see 00:42:29.059 --> 00:42:31.380 your face there, even though you weren't there. 00:42:32.699 --> 00:42:35.480 So you see, you were wrong. Your image... Your 00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:40.360 reflection hasn't disappeared. Look. Just look 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:44.219 in the mirror. What do you see? I see. Oh, Fred, 00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:50.119 I see both of us. Clearly. Very clearly. Oh, 00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:54.239 darling. Now, tell me where you went and what 00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:59.340 you did. Oh, well. I didn't really go anywhere 00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:09.219 much. And I really didn't do anything. It shows 00:43:09.219 --> 00:43:13.679 you what's reflected in a mirror anyhow. What's 00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:18.480 behind the face you see. Next time you notice 00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:22.219 a quiet mousy little matron on a plane, a train, 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:27.659 or a bus, don't dismiss her out of hand. Don't 00:43:27.659 --> 00:43:43.170 dismiss us either. I'll be back shortly. Helen 00:43:43.170 --> 00:43:46.590 Stewart, a lesson to all of you gentlemen out 00:43:46.590 --> 00:43:50.250 there who don't see your wives faces in the mirror 00:43:50.250 --> 00:43:54.929 anymore. Be very careful, because the next face 00:43:54.929 --> 00:43:58.829 you might see in the mirror could very well be 00:43:58.829 --> 00:44:03.969 your own. Our cast included Celeste Holm, Wes 00:44:03.969 --> 00:44:07.809 Addy, William Redfield, and Robert Dryden.
