Original subtitles

The murderer couldn't have locked her in. The lock expert says there's a

mechanism inside that lets a person lock himself in. He locked himself in and

committed suicide?

She was stabbed in the back and no weapon was found.

We want to help you, Susan.

You don't understand.

I killed my mother!

It's something evil.

I knew it before I touched it.

Susan.

She's in danger.

Extreme danger.

There's only one way I know how to prove she didn't kill her mother.

And that is?

Ask her mother.

Susan didn't kill her.

It was me.

Susan's so -called spirit voice is probably a manifestation of split

personality. But I didn't kill Lydia, Chief Ironside. I couldn't. Drunk or

sober, I couldn't. How do you know?

I am not leaving my dear sister.

Ever.

I conjure you to accept the sacrifice of this child.

I shall feel no pain, but shall be revered.

I have this feeling of danger for Susan.

Susan!

Susan.

Are you all right?

Come on, Jeff. Give me the knife.

There's a telephone call for you, Mr. Hogan.

You can take it over there.

Hogan?

Hello?

I'm sorry, you're going to have to speak up. I can't hear you.

Do you think Mr. Hogan would care for a cup of coffee?

He's on the phone right now.

Oh, he's finished.

I'll take him once.

Mr.

Hogan?

Hmm? Coffee?

Thanks.

The nurse said you took a call.

It was music.

Strange music.

The nurse was making her 1130 rounds when she discovered him.

What did he die of, doctor?

Shock, probably.

You never know how the human organism is going to react.

It was a very bad fall he took.

What medication did you give him?

Very little. Still hadn't completed our examinations.

Drugs? Just relaxants and painkillers.

Intravenous? No, sir.

May have the autopsy report as soon as possible.

Shouldn't take too long. Open and shut, I'm afraid.

Before you shut it completely, be sure you check for an air embolism.

Air embolism? There's an intravenous needle mark on his left arm which has no

business being there.

Glad to see you, Mr. Todd.

Not half as glad as I am to be back home again.

Even if it's only for a few hours.

You see, I, uh... I got some time off for good behavior.

Yes, I will, Doctor.

Yes, I promise.

Goodbye.

Morning, Susan.

You all right?

Yes. I'm fine.

I'm just fine.

I'm very sorry about Jeff.

Why would he want to do that?

I hoped that you'd be able to tell me.

I thought about it and thought about it and I don't know. I just don't know.

When Sergeant Brown broke in on you, the phone was off the hook.

There was music playing. Do you remember?

Look, is it really necessary? I'm afraid so.

Music.

Oriental music.

And a voice.

Jeff's voice?

No.

Not Jeff.

On the telephone.

What was the voice saying?

But please, leave her alone.

Uh, Dr. Gallant said that I have got to return to normal living as soon as

possible.

He says that that's the best thing for me.

Sounds like good advice.

So I'm going to go back to school this afternoon.

You know, I've got an awful lot of classes to catch up on.

One more thing.

What can you tell me about your brother, Neo?

Nothing.

Listen, Susan, if there's anything I can do, then there's something bugging you.

There's nothing bugging me. No, no, no, come on.

The vibes you're giving off would be enough to knock over the Koi Tower.

It's true.

I can feel them.

Who do you know? I don't believe in all that. What if I could prove that it's

true, that I've got ESP?

What do you mean, prove it?

Look, in about ten minutes...

I'm doing an experiment over by the psych building.

It's dynamite. It's really dynamite. I want you to come see it. What kind of an

experiment? A fantastic experiment.

Will you come?

Okay. All right, great. I'll see you.

All right, Mark, hang on.

You're right, Chief. The autopsy shows that Jeff was killed by an air embolism

introduced by an injection into his left arm.

An accompaniment of oriental music.

Tom Markabee needs us. We're meeting Justine Cross at the university.

Could oriental music be used as an audio trigger for post -hypnotic suggestions?

Yes, but then so could anything else. A song by the Beatles, for example.

It would depend solely on what the hypnotist suggested to his subject.

But the point here is that oriental music is relatively unfamiliar to most

Westerners. Now, wouldn't the use of it avoid accidental triggering?

Well, that's a good point.

If you use the number one song on the chart as a trigger, well, the company's

liable to be switched on each time he's near a radio.

But I think you brought Chief Ironside to the wrong man.

Well, certainly I know oriental music, but I'm no real authority on it. You're

the only one I know, Doctor.

There is someone here occasionally who'd probably be able to help you more than

I. A guest lecturer.

He's a psychiatrist, actually.

But he has the largest collection of oriental recording that I have ever come

across. Dr.

Gallen.

Excuse me. I'll close the window.

What are those kids up to now?

As soon as I'm in the car, Jack's going to have those road markers over there

put down.

I'm going to drive through them without hitting them while he gives me

directions.

How? ESP.

I'm going to transmit to Rudy in the car. You know, turn left, turn right, go

faster.

That is dangerous.

Only if it doesn't work.

Okay, fellas.

I didn't know Rudy... What did you say in my office about danger to Susan?

Blind man driving a car.

Ed, get down there.

Hurry. Please hurry.

I think she walked in front of a car.

That's right.

Why don't people look where they're going?

I don't think she knew where she was going.

What? You mean to tell... Susan?

Neil?

No, Susan, it's Ed Brown.

Please.

Neil.

Why don't you leave me alone? Just please, please leave me alone.

Who's Neil?

I finally got the report from Toronto.

Neil Barton was Susan's brother.

Done some kind of an accident, broke his neck.

What about Dr. Stone?

Nothing on him yet. They are still checking.

Tell him I want it now.

If anyone can give his students background, he can.

Yeah?

Okay, Chief, I'll ask him.

All right, bye.

How is she?

Well, she's regaining consciousness, but she can't seem to remember anything.

Oh, Sergeant, I want to thank you for what you did. You know, you could have

been killed. Mr. Todd, what do you know about her brother, Neil?

Your wife must have talked about him.

Well, whenever the subject came up, she became very upset.

Somehow, I always got the impression that she held Susan responsible for his

death. Why?

Well, Neil and Susan were alone when he died.

I don't know. I always felt that...

She was blaming Susan for something, and it was always quite apparent that Neil

was her favorite.

Do you remember the other personality we spoke of, the boy personality?

Yes. Susan had a brother who died. For some reason, she may feel a sense of

responsibility for his death.

Tell me, Doctor, what are your opinions on a person being possessed?

Well, it is possible for guilt to manifest itself in that way.

Why would Susan have guilt?

I haven't been able to find out. Even under hypnosis?

You do use hypnosis?

Occasionally. Is Susan receptive?

Yes. Except in areas dealing with her relationship with her mother. There was

tension between them.

I understand you're an authority on music.

Oriental music.

I have an interest in it, yes.

Why?

Why? Why?

I spent some time in the Orient. It's an acquired taste.

Was that before or after you were associated with Dr. Stone in Toronto?

Before. And I fail to see what you're driving at, Chief Ironside.

You've taken up enough of my time, Dr. Gallant.

Susan is suffering from a highly developed guilt complex over her

death. No, that's too logical.

It doesn't explain the strange voices we heard or the irrational behavior.

No, for that there's only one explanation. She's possessed by the

dead brother.

All right, what's his motive?

And since I'm going along with you temporarily, what do we do about him?

We exercise him.

Justine, I'll accept the fact that you have a gift for premonition.

But somebody is using that poor girl, and badly.

All right, who and why?

I'll tell you when I find out.

You are the most exasperating man.

Well, perhaps I can...

Exercise some of your exasperation at separate Wednesday night.

I'm a very good cook.

All right, I'd like that very much.

Then sedate me.

But you stop trying to convert me.

Done.

What's all that?

Well, since you're entertaining tomorrow night, I thought I'd stock up for you.

How do you know I'm entertaining?

I'm psychic.

She's a nice lady.

Officer Belding, I would like you to know that this is all part of an

investigation. Nothing more, nothing less.

She's a nice lady.

Wow. Will you look at all this?

Champagne. Caviar.

Caviar.

Well, I can see that you're a master of information.

Oh, Toronto police dug as deep as they could.

And? Zero.

Meaning nothing?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Dr. Stone died a few years back of fire in his office. There are no records of a

Dr. Gallant ever practicing in Toronto with Dr. Stone or otherwise.

As far as they're concerned, Dr.

Gallant doesn't exist.

Well, how did you happen to come to me?

My dentist is in this building, and I saw your name on the directory in the

lobby. I see.

I've been feeling depressed on and off

for several months now, and... Well, everything seems fine for a while.

Then suddenly...

A story in the paper or a newscast on TV.

And I'm down again.

Well, sometimes it doesn't seem like such a pretty world.

But still, it's the only one that we have.

Tell me, what do you think I can do for you?

Well, I've never been to a psychiatrist before.

And I thought, well, you know, someone to talk to.

Someone objective and professional.

It's a very difficult journey.

And some people are unable to take it.

Are you sure that you are?

If I wasn't, Doctor, I wouldn't be here.

At least I'm ready to try.

All right.

Well, first I will need some routine information.

But it will work.

Both ways, won't it?

What do you mean?

You'll be open with me, too.

Oh, completely.

You see, uh... It's all so new to me, and... I'm really very nervous.

Well, you shouldn't be.

If you'd trust me.

So please, just sit back and relax.

Now tell me, what do you do for a living?

I'm a legal secretary.

You've got a car outside. Where would you like to go?

I don't know. I haven't thought about it.

Home, I guess.

Listen, you don't need to bother. I can manage. It's no bother.

You mean that Chief Ironside has assigned you to look after me in case I

something stupid again, like walking in front of cars.

If I wasn't a doctor, I wouldn't be here.

At least I'm ready to try.

Would you get me the police, please?

Yes, hello. I'd like to speak to a policewoman named Belding.

Fran Belding.

Yes, hold on.

Yes, I'm still here.

She's out on assignment.

Well, thank you very much.

That was delicious, Robert.

You're a man of many parts.

If you hadn't been a policeman, you could have been a master chef.

Why did you choose police work?

Because when I was young, I was full of high ideals.

No more?

Oh, I'm still young.

But the high ideals are a little battered and bruised.

I don't believe you.

You don't know me.

Well, I know a lot more about you than you think.

For instance, I know you're a kind and a gentle man.

Even tolerance... I hope you don't go spreading that myth around town. It's

for my image.

Rough, gruff policeman. I don't think you fool us all.

I think I do pretty well.

I think you do, too.

It must have been terrible for you that night.

The shots and the pain.

Lying there drifting in and out of consciousness.

wondering whether you'd ever be found.

Wondering if whoever had done the job would come out of the darkness and

it.

The crickets were so noisy that night.

Remember?

After the sound of the shots, they stopped.

No sound at all.

No sound in the whole world.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

I suppose you think I'm trying to impress you with my psychic powers.

No. It was in all the newspapers.

That was seven or eight years ago, wasn't it?

I wasn't in America then. I was in Europe when it happened.

All right. I'm impressed.

Here's to you.

I've still got them, you know.

What?

Those bad vibes from yesterday.

Well, tonight you can just turn them off.

Well, I'm afraid it's not as simple as that.

You see, now someone else is involved.

Not just you.

Who?

I don't know.

It's someone you've put in the middle.

And now that person is in danger.

Or is a danger to you?

Honestly, Chief, there's nothing to worry about.

He just took down all the cover information we cooked up and arranged to

again tomorrow.

I still don't like it. I want to call it off.

No.

No?

Look, it's my job to find out as much as I can about Dr.

Gallen. We've already got our foot in the door. It makes no sense to give up

now. There are other ways to find out about him. We're checking further in

Toronto. Meanwhile, I can take care of myself.

Fran, I do not want you to keep that appointment tomorrow.

All right.

If you say so.

But I don't understand what happened all of a sudden.

I'm not sure I do either.

We'll see you in the morning.

Wouldn't you like some more coffee? No, thank you. Just this?

No, thank you, friend.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Dr. Gallant.

Miss Batling, may I come in?

Well, it's very late.

Please.

It won't take long.

I feel better now that you've talked to Fran.

So do I.

But you feel you've allowed yourself to be influenced by something you don't

really believe in.

I feel that I've allowed myself to be influenced.

Now, Fran, you understand what you have to do.

Yes.

Here's the key.

And I'll meet you there tomorrow morning.

And Fran, in the interim, speak to no one.

No one.

You have a gun.

Bring it with you tomorrow morning.

Your own gun.

Leave me alone. Why don't you just go away?

I didn't do it.

I didn't.

You did it, Susan.

You killed her.

You killed us both.

No, Neil, I didn't.

kill her mother?

Tell me, how did she kill her mother?

I think she could be possessed.

Why?

Well, you weren't there last night.

Teletype from the Toronto PD.

She was dead.

Now, what happened last night?

Her brother showed up again.

He said Susan killed her mother and him. Where is she now?

At the sanitarium.

They're releasing her stepfather today, hopefully for good. They're going home

together.

How's Fran doing with Dr. Gallant? She isn't. I took her off the case.

Oh?

She should be here by now.

I'll give her a call. Maybe she overslept.

What does the teletype say?

Uh, Gallon answers the description of a former patient of Dr. Stone, a man who'd

been a prisoner of war in Korea, been brainwashed by the Chinese.

According to Dr. Stone's records, the ones they were able to rescue from the

fire, he was, quote, psychotic, brilliant, and highly dangerous, end

Dr. Stone...

Recommended that he should be locked up until the after effects of the

brainwashing could be fully analyzed and treated.

Good morning.

The janitor said when he came to work this morning, the car was already gone.

a .m. Thank you.

No sign of Gallin anywhere. The surveillance you ordered last night

picked him up. There's an APB out.

All right, Mark.

Put out an APB on Fran, too. And stay here in case he calls in.

Oh, and call Judge Lewis. Tell him we'll stop by for a search warrant.

Now, Fran.

You were nine years old.

And your mommy went to the store.

And she left you all alone in the house.

Do you remember?

Yes.

I heard someone come in the back door.

The man.

What were you doing when you saw him?

I was playing in my bedroom.

And he came in and saw me.

I was so frightened.

What was he going to do?

He was going to hurt me. Kill you?

Yes. What could you do?

Nothing.

He came towards me.

Would you have killed him if you could?

Yes.

I would have killed him. Would you kill him now?

Associate of Dr.

Stone. What makes you say that, Lydia?

Dr. Stone never mentioned you. He never said a word.

You called me in San Francisco.

I'm going to find out about you.

Well, it's our motive.

At least part of it.

Whatever you think we'll need, we'll go through it all.

Ed?

Hello?

That's when you can help her.

If you strike exactly where I've shown you, she'll be able to reach the vault

and lock herself in before the effect of what has happened to her can penetrate

her mind.

That I've taken care of.

reborn. And then you'll take the knife and dispose of it.

Do you understand?

And that's how it was done.

But why did Gallen kill Jeff in the hospital?

After the fall Jeff took, Gallen had no way of knowing whether Jeff would still

be under his hypnotic influence after he regained consciousness.

And Susan, why did he want her dead? Gallen has lost five female patients in

past six months, all of them presumably suicides.

They were all suffering from some form of delusion, according to Gowan.

They were all confused and unhappy.

And he thought he was putting them out of their misery?

He's the man we think he is. He's psychotic. He can justify anything in

mind. Not a trace. Not a frant or a Gowan.

Play that again, Ed.

Robert, we have to find Fran. She's in danger. I know it.

This time we all know it.

Justine, we're doing everything we can.

She'll be reborn.

And then you'll take the knife and dispose of it. There, right there, stop.

All right, now play that section again.

And then you'll take the knife and dispose of it.

That's enough.

It's the sound of the surf, the beach.

The beach house.

Get on to the beach communities, both of you.

Find out if Gallen owns or rents a house at any of them.

It's not only Fran, Robert.

It's you.

This feeling I have of danger.

It's for both of you.

Now, once again, what does he look like?

Tall and thin and he has... No, Fran, you're wrong.

Wrong? Yes.

Don't you remember?

He was a big man.

A big man.

And he had gray hair.

And he was in a wheelchair.

Don't you remember?

Big man.

Yes, I remember.

A big man in a wheelchair.

That's a good...

Girl. Now, what are you going to do next time you see him?

Kill him.

Right. I got it.

Now, where do you think you're going? Well, can't I just... No, you cannot.

Robert, be careful. I will.

All right, guys.

Let's go.

You don't understand, do you?

They were sick.

All of them.

And I helped them. I cured them.

Even Dr. Stone.

He was going to have me locked up.

So I cured him, too. I cured them all.

And Chief Ironside, he'll be cured, too.

Just like all the others.

Stay there.

My mommy will be home soon.

Fran, it's me.

Don't hurt me.

Please, don't hurt me.

Now give me the gun, Fran.

You know you can trust me. Stay there!

Don't come any closer.

I'll kill you.

Now, Fran, I want you to give me that gun.

We're friends.

Good friends. We work together.

We trust each other.

Whatever he told you isn't real.

You and me.

We're real.

And that's all you have to think about.

Do you understand me?

Now give me the gun.

Then we'll go back to the office.

You've got a lot of work to do.

Everything all right?

Everything's fine.

Just fine.

Isn't it, Frank?

Yes.

Everything's fine.

And as soon as she's better, we're going away someplace together.

You know, we've already talked about it. I'm glad for both of you.

She's going to get better.

I'm sure she will.

What are they doing in there?

trying to undo some of the damage Gowland did.

Well, what did he do?

Why did he want Susan dead?

From what we can gather so far, he'd dig out his patients' deepest psychoses

under hypnosis and then exorcise them by having Jeff kill them or by getting

them to commit suicide.

He even convinced himself his own psychiatrist was sick, Dr.

Stone.

He murdered him, stole some of his papers and came to San Francisco.

What did he find in Susan?

That's what they're working on.

Susan?

Susan, can you hear me?

She can't hear you.

But I can.

And it's me you want, isn't it?

You don't exist.

Let me go. You're hurting me.

Susan?

She can't hear you. You can hear me, Susan.

It's about Susan.

Go ahead, you tell us.

We'll understand.

I wanted him dead.

Mother always loved him more than me.

I wished him dead a thousand times.

That day, we were out riding.

I was always a much better rider than he was, and I always had the more spirited

horse.

We were having an argument.

We were always arguing.

Of course I can do it. I can do anything you can. No, you can't. You couldn't

jump the blade of grass.

I can. It's Sasha who can't jump.

Sasha is as stupid as you are. Look at her, great fat old thing.

Prince, he can jump anything.

I could jump anything if I was riding Prince.

You couldn't. Yes, I could.

No, you couldn't.

Because you're a coward.

You couldn't even ride Prince.

I'll show you.

Just get off.

I said, get off!

I hope you break your stupid neck!

I killed him.

Didn't I?

No, Susan.

It was an accident.

An accident?

Yes.

Yes, it wasn't your fault.

I'm glad, Susan, very glad. Yes, yes, she's here.

Hello? Yes, Susan.

Well, that's wonderful.

Have a nice trip.

And be sure and write to us.

Bye -bye.

She and her father are leaving for Europe this afternoon.

He's already been in touch with a psychiatric clinic in Switzerland. They

they can help her, really help her, now that they know where guilt stems from.

Guilt, not possession.

Well, what difference does it make? She thought she was possessed.

So did you, as I recall.

I have to admit, it looked that way to me, Chief.

All right, have it your way.

You are right.

You are right!

And you...
