All language subtitles for Hitchcock s02e13 The Magic Shop

Good evening.

Greetings, fellow astronauts.

I believe the search for inexpensive
space exploration is at an end.

Our program thus far has achieved untold
of heights in a budgetary sense.

Now I am confident that we should be
able to reduce the important cost per

factor to an unprecedented low.

Simplicity is the keynote.

I believe a child could operate this
ship, thus freeing men for more

tasks. We shall stage a demonstration
this evening, but first we wish to bring

you a story. It is called The Magic
Shop, for that is where Stephen Granger

a frightening and eerie experience.

It begins in a few moments.

Without Tony's birthday, it happened.

We'd always tried to be good parents,
progressive within limits, and

understanding.

I wonder if we really did understand.

There must have been some science
somewhere to show us that he was the

child to whom such a thing could happen.

The thing that happened that day.

The day that changed our lives.

Come on, birthday boy!

One, two, three, four, five, six. Happy
birthday, dear Tony. Happy birthday.

Well,

go on. Open them up.

Hello, Mr. Adams.

I'm disturbing you. No.

Sure? Quite sure.

For Tony, I thought he might get
something for himself.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Thank you. Won't you come in? Oh, no,
no. I'll just be in the way. I hope I

the right thing. I mean, I really don't
know what boys like these days.

Oh, oh.

Oh,

they're not for Tony.

He wouldn't care for roses.

They're for you.

They're the very first of the year.

I thought they might brighten up your
table.

Well, that's so nice of you.

They're just beautiful.

Please do come in. Oh, no. No, thank
you.

Thank you. No, no, thank you.

This is great.

What does the card say?

The card?

Oh, yes.

From you, Dad.

All right, now. Today we got the right
kind of plants. Next week we get the

fish. Better to have the plants growing
first, you see?

Did you see the instructions in there?

No.

Here they are.

Yes, it's all here.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Hey, Tony, off the table, huh?

A camera!

You can change it if it's not what you
want.

It sure is.

There are other presents here.

That's from Grandma, dear. Can I get
what I like with it? Of course you can.

Whatever I like?

Oh, no. You said so. You said so. A dog.

Hey,

now, wait a minute. You've forgotten.

We said next year you're going to have a
dog. And you can take care of it

properly. Tony, look.

This is for Mr. Adams.

You're going to thank him right after
breakfast.

His first roses, too.

I'm going to put them in water.

Tony, you know, this means quite a lot
to Mr. Adams.

You understand?

All right, come on.

Here, we'll open up the last package.

Now, you know what this is?

Something you've been hinting about for
the last 11 months.

Remember Howard?

Yeah, I guess it was it.

I was scared to look.

Here, let me help you.

Well... Breakfast.

Come on, we'll discuss it over some
food.

I'm going to wear this today. Won't you
be too hot? No.

No, I want us to go today.

We're going to get some plants for the
aquarium and some snails and some sand.

And I want us to go to the magic shop.

If you won't let me buy a puppy, I want
to buy something there.

This shop you're talking about, Tony?

On Arkwright Street?

Yeah.

I told you, I've looked.

There is no such shop.

Yes, there is.

I've looked for it too, darling. There
really isn't one.

There is.

Well, you're wrong, son.

It just isn't there.

Now, listen to me. I don't have to tell
you. You know what you did.

You almost caused an accident. I'm
sorry, officer.

If you was responsible, you'd be getting
the ticket this minute. But it wasn't

you. It was your kid.

Well, he's a little overexcited,
officer.

Jay walking to the fence in this city.

Look, one of these days, you're going to
get yourself killed. As well as other

people.

Now, we can't tie up a whole business to
figure this because a kid doesn't have

sense enough to be let off a leash.

I'll let it go this time.

All right, come on, move along. Keep
moving.

Thank you, officer. I assure you it
won't happen again.

Now, you see to that.

All right, come on, let's go. Keep
moving along.

Why'd you let him blow me out like that?

Because it's better for him to blow out
the steam, Tony.

I'd blow him up.

Now, look, I've told you about taking...
Here we are. Here's the magic shop.

Come on, Dad.

Well, how do you like that for a
likeness?

What's so funny?

What, don't you think you're funny?

Hey, that's strange.

Doesn't reflect me.

Must be the angle, huh?

Good morning, gentlemen.

Mr. DeLong at your service.

How do you do, Mr. DeLong?

Were you... Have you been here all the
time?

All the time. Really?

I guess it's so dark that's... Tell me.

The mirror in... The glass in that
mirror there. Is that special glass?

Well, everything here is rather special.

Well, the reason I'm asking... What can
I have the pleasure of showing you?

Oh, just...

A few simple tricks, you know, that sort
of thing.

Well,

perhaps... Blow.

And blow.

Now... You see the glass?

Completely covered, eh?

You see the coin, I'm telling you.

You see, it's my birthday, and I... It's
a good day to be born on.

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, you know what I mean.

Tony, now, what do you want? Do you want
the coin trick or the bulb trick or

both? That is, if they're not too
expensive, how much are they?

Well, I don't think this boy would be
interested in legerdemain tricks.

He wants the real... Magic.

That's quite a little boy you have
there.

I knew it when I heard the bell ring.

It looks quite easy to open, doesn't it?

Oh, it is.

Really?

And who opened it?

Well, he did, this little boy, so it's
not so difficult.

Exactly.

I'd like to see some real magic.

And would you know what it is when you
see it?

I'd know it.

make a fool out of the boy.

You can lock a door by remote control.
All you have to do is push a button.

You better do something about it or
you're going to lose a customer.

Oh, that little boy is better lost.

He's the wrong sort of boy.

How do you know?

Because only the right sort gets past
the door.

Then I'm the right sort?

Well, you're in here, aren't you?

And he... Go take a look at him.

Why don't you help?

But Eric, the place is shut up.

Oh, just those ugly old masks.

That's what you see, Eric.

People. People standing there talking.

I told you so.

Tony, what did you do to make him laugh
so hard?

That was the other side of his face.

Exactly.

Had enough magic?

Are you joshing?

Well, this is what I wanted to show you.
What is it?

The policeman.

Now, if you prefer, we have others. A
teacher.

An interfering aunt.

We even have some mothers and fathers.

Meaning no offense.

This one.

Oh, what an instinct your little boy
has.

The, uh, face.

A little wider, wouldn't you say?

Like, uh, this?

And the cheeks.

Like this, hmm?

There.

Clever boy.

You've caught a likeness.

would be quicker.

Here, more interesting.

Tommy, just a minute.

This is a lot of nonsense.

Of course it is.

Just a lot of nonsense.

Infantile, don't you think?

Take it.

Pick it up.

Take the pin.

Try it.

Don't be afraid.

Who's afraid of nonsense?

child's game, don't you think?

Now, this will interest you.

I think, sir, you will find these little
fellows more interesting.

Absolutely lifelike and highly
educational.

Indian crate, Russell's viper, and a
coral snake.

It's amazing.

They're surreal.

What a boy.

Oh, Tony, I think we've seen enough,
don't you?

Not yet.

Well, now look, you've seen plenty to
choose from. You've got the bulb trick,

the coin trick.

There's artificial snakes there. How
about them?

Kid stuff.

Tony, look around and buy what you want,
but hurry. We have to get to the pet

shop yet. We have those things for the
aquarium to buy, remember?

I'd rather stay here.

Tony, I know it's your birthday. There's
so much to see.

And to learn.

A very talented boy, if I may say so.

For something better than conjuring
tricks, I hope, Mr. DeLong. Oh, but of

course, sir.

Altogether better. And quite on a
different plane.

Do you really want to learn everything?

Yes.

Everything?

Yes.

Then come with me.

Look at this carriage.

There's just room.

Exactly enough room for someone your
size. Tony. As if it were made to

Now, there's no point showing the boy
this. He only has $15 to spend.

Your son has something more valuable
than $15.

Would you like to try it?

Then get in.

I have a lot of things to do this
morning.

Very well.

Tell her to come out.

It's a very funny trick.

You can overdo this sort of nonsense.

What's the idea?

What are you doing there?

Can we help?

Come on. Come on. There.

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

What happened?

At that shop.

You mean the travel agency?

No, DeLong's magic shop.

My... My boy is in there.

Magic shop?

shop. It was right there.

And my boy, Tony, is inside there. Let's
take a look. Take it easy. Take it

easy. You're all right. But I'm telling
you, he's in the shop there. It's not a

travel agency. It's a magic shop. Here,
here, here. Sit down. Sit down.

Where's my coat? Listen, you're in
shock.

I'll be all right. Take him to the
hospital.

Let me get him inside. I can't leave
now. Tony, I tell you, my son is in the

shop over there.

But he's in that shop over there.

He is it.

That shop over there!

My boy is in that shop.

My boy is in the shop. He disappeared.

I lost him in the shop.

He saw us.

Ask him.

Remember me, officer. Me and the little
boy.

Officer, you boil us out for jaywalking.

Oh, don't bother me.

Just tell him that we were crossing this
street. We were heading for the magic

shop. Leave the man alone. He's in bad
pain. Acute appendicitis. But he saw us.

I'm not crazy.

That there was a boy.

Yes. Yes.

We were crossing the street.

We went into the magic shop.

Never mind about that. Hold still.

Heading for the...

Travel agency.

He just disappeared, Lieutenant.

You mean you'd lost him? No, and I
wasn't for all. I did not lose him.

Mr. Granger, lots of children get lost
around here. The parents come in all

worried. I did not lose him.

And they tell us all kinds of stories.

They didn't leave the children for a
second. I did not leave him.

They just turned around and the child
had vanished. But he did.

And it was no longer this magic shop. It
was a travel agency.

Mr.

Granger, the hospital reported that you
were in a state of shock when you were

brought in. You had a slight concussion.

Obviously, you'd just been in some kind
of an accident.

As a result, you can't remember exactly
what happened.

Lieutenant, do you think Tony may be
hurt, too?

And he's in the hospital.

We've been on the phone to all the
hospitals, Mrs. Granger. No little boy

answering Tony's description has been
brought in.

Well, I'm sure something must have
happened to him. Otherwise, he would

someone to bring him home. He's really a
very sensible little boy.

Well, we've talked to all the
shopkeepers in that area, too.

No one seems to have seen him.

Well... I have a complete description,
and the photographs, I hope, will have

some good news for you soon.

You don't believe any of my story, do
you?

Well, let's say that I believe that you
believe it.

But in all this mix -up, the only thing
we know for sure, so far, is that you

were the last person with the boy.

Darling, do come to bed.

No, I can't sleep.

I keep seeing that horrible face. I
can't begin to tell you what it was like

that shop.

Dear, you've had a concussion.

Isn't it possible you became confused?

Just imagine this magic shop.

No, there was a Mr. Dulong.

There was a shop. It was there.

And yet I know it isn't there.

I don't know. I've been over and over in
my mind.

I just don't understand it.

Maybe Tony didn't disappear. Maybe it...
Maybe he did just wander off like the

police think.

They'll find him, darling.

I know they will.

How did you get home? How did you get
in?

You were having breakfast alone.

Without me.

Tony.

Now tell me, what happened?

I can't tell you.

But darling.

Stop picking on me. Tony, you were
missing nearly 24 hours. 24 hours?

Days more like it.

Now, yesterday was your birthday, Tony,
the 28th. Yes, I took it.

Where did I take you?

The magic shop.

That's right.

And it was yesterday.

It's going to be the lieutenant.

Tony, it was your birthday. Hello?

Do you think we could forget?

Yes.

It was a long time.

Let's go have some breakfast, huh?

Lieutenant. He just came back.

I don't know. We don't know yet. Look,
there are the flowers Mr. Adams brought

just yesterday.

I'll get you your orange juice.

You told me, Tony, that you and your
father went to buy some plants for your

fish tank on your birthday.

Yes, but we never did.

Oh, instead you went to another shop.

Yes, I've told you. The magic shop?

Have another.

Tell me, do you think you could find
your way there again?

If I wanted to, I could.

You know, Your father told me that you
went into the cabinet and then you

disappeared.

Do you know where you went to?

Well,

I've talked to Tony and he's more or
less talked to me, but I'm afraid I

been able to get very far with him.

He remembers the morning of his birthday
and...

That you gave him the camera.

And that you suggested you two go down
and buy some plants for his fish tank.

Did he discuss the magic shop?

No, no.

Every time I bring that up, he just
clams up. Please sit down.

Well, then he didn't say anything about
what happened to him after he got out of

the cabinet.

Well, everybody seems to think that the
two of us are lying about going into

that shop.

Yes, sir.

People seem to think we're doing it for
publicity.

Well, I don't share that view entirely.

You know, in the year 1692, on Arkwright
Street,

there was a Dulong apothecary indicted
by Cotton Mather, executed for

witchcraft.

And that's a fact.

And there was a Dulong's magic shop in
1901.

That was destroyed by some unknown
force. It's never been explained, and

a fact.

And that your son Tony did disappear is
a fact.

But that's where it stops.

No answers.

Doctor, all we care about is Tony.

Of course.

Well, I'm not sure how much he remembers
about his experience.

Either he can't give me any details or
he doesn't want to.

He seems, I'm afraid, rather happy about
the whole thing.

Afraid?

Hmm.

Just as you are.

Oh, I don't mean that Tony's any kind of
juvenile delinquent.

But as I said, he's been through this
disturbing experience.

And he appears to believe that he's in
possession of a knowledge that other

people don't have.

Maybe this is more a matter for a priest
than a psychiatrist.

A priest?

You mean exercise the devil? Oh, good
heavens, no, I don't believe that kind

thing.

I merely meant that maybe he would talk
more freely to his parish priest than he

has to me.

I'm afraid we haven't been taking him to
church very regularly.

Well, the only other thing I can suggest
is that you give him an ordinary life

of an ordinary boy.

Try and help him forget whatever has
happened to him.

Does he, uh... Does he have any
particular hobbies?

Well, he's very fond of his aquarium.

Does he take good care of the fish?

All the time.

He's always wanted a dog.

That might be a good idea for him to
have one.

All right, then I'll buy him one.

Good. Better still, let him buy it.

Take him to the pound or the pet shop
and let him choose for himself.

Well, there's a pound right back of us
in the next block, so I let him go

there by himself if he wants to.

Right.

If he comes home with some awful
-looking mutt, never mind.

It's his choice.

Let's go outside and play.

Well, he seems to be doing fine,
forgetting what happened.

Did he say anything to you? Not a word.
It's his old self lately.

Just normally mischievous.

The dog is settling down, too.

Yes, he's only been here 24 hours and
already they're inseparable.

And we really should have gotten him one
before.

Is that a hound?

Tony! What is it?

Tony!

What happened?

The dog. Did he bite you, Mr. Adams?

Oh, it's nothing.

Oh, well, let me get you to our doctor.
He's not far from here. No, that's all

right. No, really, we'd be much happier
if you let us. Please do. There's no one

to look after you. This would be much
safer.

No, I'll create it myself.

We'll be sure, and there's plenty of
disinfectant. I will.

Mr. Adams, I'm so sorry.

Tony just got the dog, and he's probably
not used to the place yet.

Oh, I like dogs.

Not that one. He's a mean brute.

Now, Tony, you've got to learn to make
that dog obey.

It won't happen again. No.

Come here, DeLong.

Tony!

What did you call him?

DeLong.

Because if I'd never been to DeLong's
magic shop, you'd never let me have a

would you?

Well, uh, don't you think that Prince
or, uh, Rover might be better?

No.

Well, after all, he is your dog, Tony.

Oh, yes.

I'll teach him and train him and make
him do everything I say.

Yes, that's a good boy, Tony.

And I'll do everything he says.

Higher than yours.

No, it isn't.

Mine's going to the moon. You don't
understand. Only rocket ships get to the

moon.

You did that.

Why? Bust their balloons.

How could I bust their balloons? You
were aiming at something.

I saw your hand up. An air pistol,
maybe. Where is it, then? I haven't

Well, I know you did, but I can't prove
it. But let me catch you just once.

Just once.

And I'll clobber you.

I told you not to let the dog on the
sofa. Come on, get down, get down. Take

your feet off the couch.

Tony, Susan says that you turned the
sprinkler on her. I did not. I think you

did, and you were pleased.

Now, Tony, that's terrible.

It is.

I don't know why you do these things,
but it's bad.

Hurting people is bad.

Darling, I want you to promise me
something.

I want you to promise me you won't go on
behaving like this.

You're making me very unhappy, and your
father, too.

I promise.

No, Tony, you must mean it.

Mommy, you don't understand anything.

I understand what's right and what's
wrong.

You don't want me to be able to do
things.

What things?

Just games.

Fun. Causing accidents and hurting
people?

Is that your idea of fun?

Your father and I don't seem to be able
to talk to you these days.

Don't you realize everybody in the
neighborhood is beginning to dislike

And if the neighbors can prove that
you're purposely hurting their children,

they might even report it to the police.

And they could take you away from us.

Just let them try it.

You know, cutting these back really
helped them.

Yeah.

Was that Adams?

Oh, no.

Where's Tony?

Upstairs in his room. Where's the dog?

I thought he was there, too. I don't
know.

It is Adams. Look.

What is it, Mr. Adams?

Here, come inside. Let me get you a
drink.

What happened, Mr. Adams?

Is it the dog again?

Just plain thanks.

We're going to have to get rid of him.

Yes, we are.

We're going to have to get rid of it.

Tell him he'd be very upset.

Mrs.

Granger, your dog did bite me again, but
that's not all, I'm afraid.

Not all? What do you mean?

I had this hole in my hand, and he came
at me, and I had to defend myself, and I

hit him, and I couldn't even... Mr.

Adams.

Mr.

Adams, where's the dog? If he's hurt,
I'd better get him to the vet.

Mr. Granger, I'm afraid there's not much
you could get.

He kept coming at me, and I hit him, and
I hit him hard, and...

I killed him.

And then he just sort of ran away.

In little pieces.

In no time at all.

He was mine.

Mine and you killed him.

But it doesn't matter.

Because he taught me everything.

So you're too late.

But he was mine.

And you won't get away with it.

It's the Adams house. I hope he's not
inside.

It's the man who owned that house. Did
he get out all right?

Out of that.

He couldn't have had anything to do with
it.

Couldn't he?

Tony.

You did that, didn't you?

Tony. You set the fire, didn't you?

I was sure you were here in your room. I
didn't hear you leave.

Now, when did you go out?

Steve, in your cheek.

It's bleeding.

That night seems a long time ago, but it
isn't.

Only a few years since then our son
holds us in the hollow of his hand.

Parents without power, only fear of
their child.

That's our position today, that's the
world in which we live.

What will happen, we don't know, and we
dare not think.

We can't see any way out.

We're the prisoners of Anthony Richard
Granger.

Our daring astronaut sustained a skinned
knee, but that only made the sight more

colorful. As for the criticism that our
launching lacks dramatic sounds,

I believe his screams will soon put an
end to that loose talk.

They say what goes up must come down. So
while we wait for that truth to be

verified, we shall see some scenes from
next week's story.

That's all for Paul this week, but you
can catch Paul's picks every Friday

afternoon at 5 to Pacific on Paul's
Ultimate Fan Hour.

Show next here on TV Land. TV
