All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s02e28 One More Mile to Go

Good evening.

Most of you have doubtless read how Anne
Boleyn lost her head.

King Henry VIII, no longer fascinated,
said, Let her be decapitated.

Thereupon, the legend goes, her ghost
roamed about each night with utmost

dignity and charm, with her head tucked
underneath her arm.

Now, with two heads, it occurs to me I
can think more clearly than with three.

However, if the worst should come, one
head's a basic minimum.

Therefore, in my work, I hardly dare to
roam about without one spare.

Tonight's legend tells of modern life
and how to solve a problem.

Wife.

you

I was only doing 35, officer.

What I stopped you for has got nothing
to do with speeding.

I don't understand. I was driving real
careful.

It's got nothing to do with your
driving, either.

You've got a tail light out.

Oh?

Well, it was all right when I left the
house.

Well, it's not all right now.

Let's see your driver's license.

Oh, Medstown, huh?

Yeah.

Where are you headed?

Oh, nowhere in particular. I was just
out taking a little drive.

What are you going to do about the
taillight?

I'll have it fixed first thing in the
morning.

Now, that's not good enough.

You can't be driving around with that
taillight out. That's how accidents

happen.

Well, I don't know what I can do.

Well, you can get it fixed.

There's a gas station about a mile back
on the main highway.

Oh, I'll go right there.

Yeah.

See what you do.

Yeah.

Hello, what I know I I need a new bulb
for my tail light. I'm in hurry everyone

always is

Here

you

are mister What's the matter you nervous
or something?

Just give me the bone.

Don't you want me to put it in for you?

You make it out, it don't work.

Maybe the bulb's no good.

Not a chance. It's brand new. I just
took it out of the package.

Well, it could be defective anyway.

Nothing wrong with that.

What's the matter, Red?

What's the trouble all about?

Take a look at this bulb and tell me
what you think.

Looks all right.

Put it back in and jiggle it around a
little bit. Sometimes that'll do it.

Already done that.

Nope, don't work.

Wait a minute.

Now you got a defective wire.

What do you got in the trunk? Seems to
be loaded down pretty good.

Just some tools I forgot to take out at
the house. They're kind of heavy.

That's what did it.

One of those tools probably rubbed
against a frayed wire and grounded it

Where's the key?

But yeah, we'll open the trunk red can
take a look at it.

Probably fix it with a piece of tape
What's matter you sick or something

I

only

got the ignition key. I must have left
the trunk key at home Oh.

Well, this light's got to be fixed.

There's been a lot of accidents on this
highway lately, and this could cause

another one.

You know, sometimes you can spring these
open on these old cars.

No.

Huh?

Well, I mean, can't you just give me a
ticket and get it over with?

But why?

Well, it'd be a lot cheaper in the long
run than ruining the lock.

Sure, I could give you a ticket.

But that wouldn't fix that taillight
now, would it?

I ask you a question, would it?

The locks are expensive.

So they're expensive.

Look, suppose a guy comes along and runs
into your rear.

You know, mistakes you for a motorcycle
or something.

Or maybe he's half -tanked. Now, you
both wind up in the hospital.

Is that cheaper than buying a new lock?

No, I suppose not.

Now, I know. You're afraid I'll scratch
your car.

And that would lower the trade -in
value.

You know, some of you guys make me
laugh. You treat these old cars like

old ladies.

Red, get me a crowbar.

Sure.

It's all right.

Don't be too sure. There's no telling
how long it'll stay on. Well, at least

till I get home.

You better have it fixed first thing in
the morning. I certainly will. Just be

sure you do, because next time I'll give
you a ticket.

Okay, Red.

Big hurry.

I was only going 35. That's under the
limit.

I didn't say you were speeding.

Why is it people always think they're
being stopped for speeding?

You know, the way you shot out of that
gas station, anybody would have thought

you were on fire.

Here, you gave him a five spot and
forgot to get your change.

Oh, well, thanks a lot, officer. Thanks
very much. How much it bides to you.

I guess you just slipped my mind.

You must have a lot on your mind to
forget a five spot.

Yeah, well, I guess everybody does.

Well, thanks for bringing it to me. It's
okay.

I thought you said you lived in
Edgetown.

I do.

What are you doing on this road?

Well, I didn't feel like going right
home. I thought I'd take a little drive.

It's a little risky with that taillight.

Yeah, well, I guess it's all right now.

Well, I hope so, for your sake.

Oh, wait a minute. I'll have a look for
you.

news for you. It's out again.

It can't be. It's out like a light.

Want to take a look?

Well, it looks so worried. You know, I
just happened to think of something.

What?

Headquarters about a mile up ahead.

Matter of fact, this road's a shortcut
to it.

Headquarters? Yeah. We got a mechanic
there. He'll have that trunk open in

two seconds.

He'll fix that light and it won't cost
you a cent.

Well, my house is only a little ways
from here. I'll drive it there and then

I'll... I'll get it fixed first thing in
the morning.

That's pretty dangerous. You better have
it fixed now.

Follow me.

Thank you.

One less mile to go.

Next week, another script, another show.

When electrons glide across your screen,
bringing some new and unforeseen brand

of murder.

I mean the quiet kind.

Perpetrated solely in our mind. A gentle
thump. A soothing splash.

No bullet, shriek, or livid gash. No
stains, no fumes, no ugly splatter.

We use only the purest subject matter.

Good night.
