All language subtitles for Hitchcock s03e28 Night Fever

Good evening.

We have here all that remains of a
television series.

It succumbed not to the indifference of
the viewers, but to a passion for

reality.

Everyone thought the idea would make a
very amusing series.

A family of cannibals moves into the
middle of a typical suburban community.

The possibilities were endless.

The clash of cultures would produce the
laughter.

And underlying it all would be a subtle
social criticism.

Actually, the cannibals weren't
difficult as actors.

They weren't temperamental.

Just hungry.

And, considering the food at the
commissary, I'm not sure I blame them.

I'm Detective Sergeant Martinez.

I'm Detective Gabe Greeley.

Oh, he's in recovery now.

They'll be moving him to room 114 very
soon. Thank you, miss.

An intelligent girl.

Pretty girl.

This is Ed.

Here he comes.

Stand by, Joe. We'll handle it.

Thank you, Miss Winters.

Dr. Michaels will let you know just as
soon as you can see the patient,

gentlemen. You honor us, miss.

Tell the good doctor we wait without.

You ought to grow a mustache, then you
could twirl it.

Can I help it if I have a personality?

Not here, Gabe.

He's conscious. Can he talk?

Well, he won't make much sense. He's
groggy and confused.

Best time to talk to him. Well, it hurt
him to talk.

I suppose not, but I don't like it. Just
a few minutes.

All right. A few minutes.

Thanks, Doc.

We'll be forever grateful.

Miss Hatch, these gentlemen are from the
police.

Please stay while they're questioning
the patient.

Yes, Doctor.

Take it easy with them.

No more than two minutes, Miss Hatch.
Call me if you think I'm needed.

Walsh.

Walsh.

Who was with you on the holdup?

What holdup?

Who was your partner?

Jesse James.

You had a partner, Walsh. Tell us where
he went.

Save everybody a lot of trouble.

Walsh, all we want is the name of the
man who was with you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Cooperating, you might get life instead
of the gas chamber.

You don't want the gas chamber, Walsh.

They walk you down the hall.

They put you in a chair.

They strap you in.

Blindfold you.

And they turn a little wheel and a
cyanide pellet drops into some acid.

Smell comes up.

It gets into your nose.

You try not to breathe as long as you
can.

But sooner or later, you gotta breathe.

And then, boom.

You better talk.

Stop it.

Do you know what this man did, miss?

He and his partner shot and killed a 24
-year -old rookie policeman.

The man had a wife and two kids.

Tommy, age three, Ursula, one and a
half.

His partner got away.

He's got a gun.

And we want him bad.

Bad enough to shake him up a little if
we have to. Hold it, Gabe.

That's all he can take right now.

All right, Miss Hatch.

Mind asking the doctor to come in?

Mary, would you ask Dr. Michaels to come
to room 114, please?

Thank you.

You want to move him to the prison ward
of the county hospital.

He can't be moved. That's 40 miles from
here.

It might kill him. I wouldn't want to do
that.

You move him now, he'll hemorrhage. How
soon can he be moved?

Four or five days at best.

It depends. It could be longer.

Who's paying for this fancy room?

The county, I suppose.

We can't put him in a room with any of
our other patients.

That's for sure.

You're positive he can't be moved? The
police surgeon examined him.

He agrees.

I suggest you check with him.

I'm not questioning your competence,
doctor. It just makes a problem for us

for you.

I'd like to put bars on these windows.

The man outside the door, keep an eye on
him.

No visitors.

I want the same nurses assigned to him.
They're on the case now.

We can't give him special nurses.

I didn't say special nurses.

I said the same nurses.

Anything wrong with his arm?

No.

I'm going to have to handcuff him to the
bed.

The guard will have a key to these.

I want him in the room every time that's
not on him.

And, Gabe, get a leg iron over here
tomorrow.

Thank you, Miss Hatch.

Sedate him now.

Maybe you'd better sedate me, Doctor.

It's not our business, Miss Hatch.

How are you feeling?

Well, you just have to be hungry for a
little while.

You feel any pain?

A little.

Not much.

Well, this will make you feel better.

Yes Hold my hand for a minute What

please Just for a minute, please

I'm Joe Chandler. I'm Miss Hatch.

I know.

How is he?

He's been sedated.

Tell me, did he really do all those
things?

So they say.

I don't understand his being chained to
the bed.

What harm can he do, sick as he is?

Well, I've seen him try to walk out in
worse cape than he's in.

Are you going to sit in here?

Well, that's what the man said, ma 'am.

The man?

Martinez.

And he is the boss.

I wonder, would you be kind enough to
call the charge nurse if the patient

wakes? Uh, well, she can't see him.

Just you.

Well, I have other things to do.

She'll call me.

Okay, Miss Hutch.

Dinner?

I'm on duty.

Breakfast?

You're on duty.

Lunch? No.

Point killer.

Officer, does that policeman have to
stay in the room with the patient?

Yes, ma 'am, he does.

Till we get bars on the windows.

Then he can move to the hall.

Mary, cover for me for a few minutes.

I don't have something to eat. I'm going
to fall over.

Okay, Alan.

Thank you.

It's bad for the soul.

Oh, come on, Miss Hatch. I'm not as
ferocious as I sound.

We made you sore, didn't we?

A little.

Do you like being a policeman?

Sometimes. Do you like being a nurse?

Most times.

When we lose a patient, it's sad.

Sometimes you have to pressure them.

Do you know that he did it?

Do witnesses say he did?

They could be wrong, couldn't they?

Both of them?

I guess I don't like what you have to
do.

Sometimes it isn't pleasant picking up
the trash.

But things look better for everyone
after it's been done.

What? Nice ship again?

For the next two weeks.

I don't mind.

Well, he's all yours.

Thank you.

Good evening.

I'd hoped you'd come back.

Why?

So I could apologize to you.

Apologize for what?

Oh, you know, last night, holding your
hand.

Oh, that.

Well, you really weren't rational.

I didn't mean to seem fresh.

It's just that you remind me of a girl I
used to know.

She was kind of special to me.

She was special to me.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Just that it seems rather far -fetched
to think of you being attracted to a

that looked like me.

Why do you say that?

I know what I look like.

Take your pills.

What's wrong with the way you look?

Well, I could think of a lot of things.

Listen, I don't think you're not pretty
just because you don't wear a lot of

lipstick or paint your eyelids or dye
your hair six different colors.

A lot of fellas like girls that keep
their natural beauty, and I just happen

be one of them.

Never could stand flashy women.

Here.

Drink this.

Slowing her.

I, uh... I never thought of myself as
having

natural beauty.

You know something?

You ought to stop feeling sorry for
yourself.

There's no reason for it.

You were right before.

You are fresh.

As a matter of fact, you're downright
rude.

I don't want any more of this now.

Thank you.

I'll, uh... I'll get your dinner.

How's he doing?

He'll live.

Maybe.

I don't think that's very funny.

We promised not to twist the time.

I see.

Take five, Joe. We'll watch the eight.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Same question, Walsh.

Go away.

Who is your partner?

Napoleon Bonaparte.

Now, look, you guys know everything you
need to know. Now, why don't you just

get out of here and leave me alone?

I must have talked to 500 of you hard
guys in my time sooner or later you all

crack open.

Well, I'll let you know when I do.

You don't have to let us know when you
do. I'll be there.

But there's no orderlies. It's causing a
lot of extra work for myself and the

other two nurses.

I'm sorry about that.

I know how busy you are.

Well, I suppose it's all right under the
circumstances.

We'll be back tomorrow, Walsh.

Sorry, I can't put your bed up yet, so
I'll have to feed you.

Well, I can't imagine anything I like
better.

I was rude when we talked before. You
were trying to be nice in your own way,

and I was impolite.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

And I... I wasn't trying to be nice.

I mean, not forcing myself to be nice.

I meant it.

I guess I'm just a little clumsy with
words.

I think you speak very well.

Do I still have a temperature?

We're not supposed to tell the patient
that.

Well, I'm not exactly a patient.

A friend, I hope.

You have a fever.

How soon will they move me?

Well, three or four days, they say.

The last four days of my life.

I have to make every second count.

That's true, you know.

This is kind of an interlude for me.

Before the nightmare begins.

I have to ask you something.

You've been trying to ask me ever since
you first saw me.

Did I do it?

No.

I didn't shoot that officer.

I was in the robbery, yes, but I didn't
shoot him.

Then why?

Why did you do it? The robbery, I mean.

Because I was a fool, that's why.

It was the first thing I ever did that
was wrong.

There's no excuse for it, I know that.
Not really.

I had been drinking a little.

And I met this fella.

He made it sound so easy.

And then the roof fell in.

And now I'm trapped.

And I know that too.

So let's just forget it, all right?

And you do know who shot the policeman?

Yes, I know.

He did.

That other fella.

Then you must tell them.

You don't understand about these things,
do you?

If someone's killed during a felony,
everyone involved is equally guilty.

So what good would it do?

I'd be charged with murder anyway.

Why execute two people when one will do?

You didn't think I knew your name, did
you?

Well, I do.

I heard that other nurse call you that.

Ellen, that's a nice name for you.

It's a nice name for anyone.

And I still like girls that keep their
natural beauty.

I don't want you to say that anymore.

All right, Ellen.

I won't if you don't want me to.

But I want to thank you.

Thank you for listening to me.

And for helping make these last minutes
count.

Is everything all right, Miss Hatch?

Yes, thank you. I was just about to
leave.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

Don't you ever smile.

What's the joke?

I look at you, Walsh.

But you're a bad joke. A real bad joke.

We shall resume our story in just a few
moments.

In order to prevent you from becoming
bored, even for so short a time, we have

asked your local announcer to entertain
you.

Want to take another crack at him?
Better wait till he's had his dinner. He

won't talk with the nurse in the room.

Oh, Miss Hatch.

I like it.

What? Your hair.

Oh. Thank you.

Thank you. Miss Hatch?

He won't be needing that.

You don't take any chances, do you? As
few as possible.

Joe!

Take a half -hour break. We'll mind the
store.

Let's relieve both.

Mike, thanks.

I don't like it. Don't like what?

That fancy hairdo on that nurse.

So? Don't look at it.

That is what I mean.

I got that certain feeling.

Remember Anna Kaspar?

She had that same look just before she
stuck that shit in my shoulder.

She's got peculiar heads.

Don't worry about that one.

She's got a mother hen complex.

No, Gabe, she's got a wife complex.

She wants to be a wife like all the
other women. How do you know that?

I know. I talked to her. I looked at
her.

You want me to take her off the case?

Yeah, I do.

Thank you.

That was very good.

Where's the guardian of the gates?

He's in the hall talking to mr.. Greeley
and mr.. Martinez Here we

go again Ellen I Want to tell you again.
I didn't shoot that officer.

I want to tell you that over and over
again until you believe me I Believe you

Jerry I do believe you I Don't want to
talk about it anymore

Please, you have to listen to me.

It's important to me that you
understand.

I don't care what anybody else thinks.

With you, it's different.

Different?

How's it different?

I'm nobody to you? You are, Alan.

You are.

You'll never know.

I haven't got much time left, Alan.

And I can't expect you to feel the same
way about me.

I know you couldn't.

Feel how?

Tell me what you mean.

I'm about to give you the biggest laugh
you've ever had in your life.

I'm in love with you.

I don't think that's very funny.

I don't think it's very funny at all.

How are you, killer?

Jerry, we're going to give you one more
chance to be smart.

Well, you tell me. What do I have to do?

Give us the address where George Clark
is hiding out.

Who? Clark.

George Clark. You know him. He's a
friend of yours. The one who put three

those five bullets in the policeman you
both shot.

Look, I told you I don't know what
you're talking about.

Let me lay it out for you.

You and George Clark were seen together
in a dozen places over the past month.

You've been going to the races, shooting
pool together, Night clubbing all over

town.

Then you and a mysterious Mr. X pull a
heist.

And all of a sudden, George Clark drops
out of sight.

Who's George Clark?

The way it stands now, Walsh, you can
clam up and buy yourself a short trip to

the gas chamber.

Or you can tell us where he is.

Turn state's evidence.

Have a chance for a life sentence. That
could get you a parole in 15 or 20

years.

You're still young, Jerry.

Staying alive is something to think
about.

Come on, Jerry. Tell us where Clark is.

That's the first time I've heard the
name.

Some people just have to do it the hard
way.

I'm going to speak to the doctor about
those two men.

No.

I don't want you to get involved. It's
my problem, not yours.

I wish there was something I could do
for you.

I told you I don't want you to get
involved.

I am involved.

I became involved the moment you told me
you loved me.

I don't know, Alan.

I didn't count it on you helping me.

I just...

Had some more time here.

Maybe I could figure something out.

They'll be moving me any day now.

Don't take your medicine at night and
your fever will stay up.

I know the doctors won't give permission
for you to be moved until your

temperature is normal.

I'll show on your chart that you have
taken it.

No.

I don't want you to get in trouble.

No, I won't.

Ellen.

If I do find a way out of this, will you
come with me?

We can go away somewhere.

Make a new start.

You sure you want me to?

Yes.

It's like a miracle to me.

I know I'm not pretty, no matter what
you told me.

And I'm not very smart.

Except about nursing, I am a good nurse.

What is it?

They've got me trapped.

I'll never be able to prove I didn't do
it.

They're just waiting out there, ready to
pounce on me.

I've seen that.

So I have to get out of here.

Escape.

If you really wanted to help me, it
wouldn't be so difficult to arrange.

What do you mean?

This place would be a cinch to get out
of.

If I had a little help, just a little
help.

What kind of help?

Well, some clothes, a car in a parking
lot, some of the medicine I'll need.

At night it'd be a cinch, a real cinch.

What about the guard?

You could start bringing him some coffee
so he gets used to the idea.

And then when the time comes, you could
put something in it so that...

Put him to sleep.

I couldn't do that.

Yes, you could.

All right, Ellen.

Forget it.

It's just a pipe dream anyway.

Just a pipe dream.

But it would be so easy.

And we could have such a time.

I have a little money put away on the
outside.

Nobody knows about it.

We could go to Greece.

Have you ever been to Greece, Ellen?

The Isles of Greece?

Or the South Seas.

The islands under the wind.

Or the Southern Cross.

It'd be so great to see them with
someone you love.

Someone you really love.

If only we could.

We could if you'd help me.

Would you like a cup of coffee, officer?

Great.

All right, officer.

Secondary tissue is...

Closing satisfactorily.

I think we can risk moving him.

May we see you outside for a moment,
officer?

Miss Hatch.

Please tell Mr. Martinez that he can
take Walsh out of here tomorrow.

He should try to stand and walk a little
before he leaves.

Yes, doctor.

Let me know, Miss Hatch. I have the key.

Thank you.

Did he mean that?

About me leaving tomorrow?

Yes.

What are we going to do?

Escape.

Tonight.

Just like we planned.

I'm strong enough, I think.

Would it hurt me to walk?

Not if you don't bump into anything.

Go slowly.

I have a wheelchair.

All right.

We go tonight, then.

You have something for our boy in blue?

Yes. We should put him out for about
five hours.

Good.

Is there anyone else on duty tonight?

Not in this area.

Okay.

You sure everything else is set?

I have clothes for you in my locker and
a car out by the back entrance, full of

gas.

Jerry, what if they catch us?

They won't.

They won't, not if you do exactly what I
tell you to do.

It'll be worth it, Helen.

I'll make it worth it.

We'll hide out until I get good and
well.

And then it's the South Sea.

We'll go somewhere where nobody will
know us, just you and me.

That's worth a little risk of.

Just all seems so final.

I guess that's why I'm afraid.

You don't need to be.

I love you.

And you're the only chance I have left.

If you won't go, then I won't go.

And if you don't believe in me, then the
first good thing in my life will be

gone.

All right, Jerry.

All right.

I'll try.

Tonight, son?

Tonight.

You rest now.

Getting to be a regular mama's boy,
isn't he?

Sometimes I think you policemen are
completely cynical.

You hang around enough of these creeps,
you get cynical.

I'll bring you your coffee when I come
back.

Now that's a kindly thought.

You can have your coffee inside tonight
because we're beginning Mr. Walsh's

exercise.

That's real service.

Join me?

In a moment.

We're going to exercise now, Jerry.

All right.

I'll try.

Sit for a moment.

Now try to stand.

Easy now.

You're doing very well.

I'll get the wheelchair.

Move the muscle.

Here, get in there, sir.

I'll help you.

I have a bandage for your face.

Which way now?

Straight ahead.

Get down to Arcata Street and turn
right.

Come on, hurry.

I don't want to get a ticket.

You won't get a ticket.

That's it.

You'll have to climb those stairs.

I'll make it.

Don't forget the medicine.

Let's go, Ellen.

I said let's go.

Next floor at the end of the hall.

You have to rest.

Just keep moving.

You do, Jerry. I said just keep moving.

Who is it?

Open up, Clark. It's me, Jerry.

What's the matter, Georgie?

Wait a minute.

Come on in, boy. Come on in.

Give me a hand, will you?

Man, I can't believe it.

Put the medicine on the table.

Okay, whiskey, Georgie.

Georgie. Yeah, whiskey, sure.

Pinky. Pinky, come on in here. We got
company.

Bring the bottle.

Jerry.

Jerry.

You made it.

came back.

That's right, baby.

I came back.

Oh, baby.

You can go now, Mercy.

Oh, wait a minute, Sheriff. What do you
mean, go?

Go where?

Back to the hospital.

Wherever.

Oh, no. We can't do that. You'll blow
the whistle all night.

Mercy wouldn't do that.

Would you, Mercy?

We've got to get rid of her, Jerry.

I... I know that the charge is murder.

Accessory after the fact.

That's what they get me for.

So... Why would I talk?

That's right.

And we're not staying here anyway.

So let her go.

Besides... The nurse, he did me a favor.

Didn't you, nurse?

Now, if you're smart, you'll hustle back
to that hospital and take some of that

spiked coffee yourself.

That way, it'll look like an outside
job.

You won't get caught.

Well, it beats spending ten years in a
pen.

Go on, now.

Beat it.

You said you...

You don't think I could fall for a dame
like you, do you?

I suppose not.

Get out of here.

So long, nursey.

I said let her go.

Everything under control, Ellen?

Yes. Where is he?

Second floor.

Door at the back of the hall.

Clark there?

Yes.

And a woman.

Clark has a gun.

I want Clark alive and talking.

Take three men around back.

The rest will go up this way in five
minutes.

May I go now?

Sure.

Ellen, I want you to know how much we
appreciate your help.

I'm a plain girl, Sergeant.

Plain and dull.

I don't like to think about it, but it's
true.

Dull face, dull mind.

I guess that's why I'm attracted to a
man like him.

He was just an operator.

I know.

He was the seventh operator in my life.

The seventh.

Sometime I'll tell you about the other
six.

You wouldn't think, would you, Sergeant,
that a plain dull girl could hate so

much. You did a good job.

Remember what I told you.

Sometimes it's necessary to pick up the
trash.

And we thank you.

Don't mention it, Sergeant.

It was a pleasure.

Next week, I shall return with another
story.

Oh, by the way, we just couldn't stand
to see such a good comedy idea

So we have reactivated our series about
the cannibal family.

We are hoping to have better luck this
time.
