All language subtitles for Hitchcock s03e18 The Trap.eng

Good evening.

We seem to have a compulsion these days
to bury time capsules in order to give

those living in the next century or so
some idea of what we are like.

I have prepared one of my own.

In it, I have placed some rather large
bubbles of dynamite, gunpowder, and

nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to
go off in the year 3000.

It will show them what we are really
like.

This evening's drama is about a
different type of time capsule.

It is called The Trap, and is set to go
off in just 60 seconds.

Yes, Tom?

I have an appointment with Mr. Beale.
The agency sent me. By Mr. Cocker.

A bit early.

Your clock is slow. I'm exactly right.

May I have your coat?

Elevator, please.

Miss Cochran?

Yes. Good. I'll let Mr. Beale know
you're here.

Mr. Cochran, come in, come in.

Sit down somewhere and start telling me
about yourself.

Would you like a drink?

Nothing, thank you. Nothing, thank you.

All right.

Well, well, well.

You know, when I was your age, I never
refused a drink.

You see what it's got me?

Hey, do you like toys?

You want to have some fun?

Take this back.

Move back over there.

Go on, further back.

I'll tell you when to stop. That's good.

Now, you see this?

It's an automatic pitcher.

It makes Bobby Feller look like a piker.

Now, hold up the bat.

Look good.

Ready? And here she comes.

Hey, hey, you're supposed to swing at
it. Now, try it again.

Here she comes.

Come on, where's your eye?

Once more, let's go. Now, here she
comes.

Get some wood on it.

I'm in plastic. It's a plastic bag.

Now swing at it. Ready?

Watch it now. Close.

And... Well, that does it.

You missed them all. You didn't hit one
of them. Well, I guess you don't get the

job. What?

Well, you're stuck out. You don't do me
much good.

Thanks anyway.

Mr. Beale, I think he's... Look, I
wanted a man to demonstrate this toy.

And brother, you're terrible. But it's
been fun.

Thanks anyway.

Sorry, must have been some mistake.

April Fool!

Mr. Corporate, come back. Sit down, sit
down.

Sit down. The expression on your face
was really something.

Now, tell me something that you think is
important.

Like, I don't know, what?

I'm an expert at shorthand.

And? I'm a shorthand champion.

If you care, I can take a letter faster
than anyone in the country. Oh, really?

You're a champion.

Oh, here.

Do you have a pencil?

No.

Get ready.

Set. Go.

My dear sir.

You know, I don't know what to say. I
don't talk very fast.

Oh, I know. I'll get my wife in here.
She'll give you a beautiful letter.

Here goes.

Hmm. Now, tell me something else.

Shorthand champion?

Did you go to school?

I went to Princeton. I graduated in two
and a half years.

I didn't even go two and a half years.

Eighth grade.

Eighth grade of PS, uh, something,
something.

You see what it gets you?

Well, Princeton, what else?

I was in the army. Is that where you
learned shorthand?

No, I didn't learn anything except how
stupid my sergeant was.

He had an enormous contempt for college
graduates.

Yeah.

Now look, Princeton, why do you want
this job?

You want to be my personal secretary?

You like toys?

What? I don't know. I just think it'd be
an interesting job.

Well, you know, if you get this job,
you'll have to work here in my home.

I like to work where it's nice and
quiet.

So do I. I had 11 brothers and sisters
in my family.

Eleven?

It wasn't funny.

Oh, here she is.

Oh, come on in. I want you to meet
somebody.

This is Mr. Cochran.

He's interested in being my personal
secretary.

You want to tell him how easy I am to
get along with?

Hello.

Oh, did you know that Mr. Cochran is a
shorthand champion?

I wanted you to come in here and do him
a favor and throw a few sentences at

him. I got hung up after this.

Sit down, Mr. Corcoran. You don't mind.

Oh, come on. Let's have a little fun
with Princeton here. Eddie, please, I've

got a lot to do. One minute.

Start taking notes.

Come on, only a minute. What have you
got to do?

We're having friends for dinner, and I
want to go over the menu with Margaret.

And I'm supposed to meet Rilla Borden at
the gallery this afternoon. There's a

new artist. I don't know, but she likes
him.

I said I'd go if she went to the antique
fair with me.

She doesn't like Coliseum because of all
those people and stuff.

You all right, Mr. Corcoran?

Teddy.

One minute. Read it back, champ.

Well, we're having some friends for
dinner, and I wanted to go over the menu

with Margaret, and I'm supposed to meet
Willa Borden at the gallery this

afternoon. There's a new artist I don't
know.

Good! Very good!

Very good!

How do you sound?

I want you to type that up and send a
copy to all my other wives.

Thank you, Mr. Corcoran. I'll call the
agency and let them know either way.

Well, thanks for coming.

Oh, uh, have a cigar. Do you smoke?

No. Good.

It explodes.

Bye.

I have a funny feeling about him.

Just can't explain it, but I don't think
you should hire him.

Feeling? What do you mean, feeling?

He's a good kid. He listens.

He's all right.

You're asking how I felt?

My features.

You feel too much. I'm going to hire
this kid.

Ready?

Please?

Please what?

Try someone else.

Hey, you're serious.

Ridiculous. Look, I'll bet you a new...
Oh, what do you call it? A high boy.

I'll bet you an old high boy. That's
better, huh? That this kid is the right

choice. No bet.

That's what I thought. I just say don't
take him.

My peach, he'll lose.

He's hired.

More papers for you to sign, or would
you like me to do it?

I'll be with you in a minute.

Almost to the finish line.

There.

One by a nose.

Always do.

Let's see.

Oh, very good.

Hey, wait a minute.

I didn't write this letter. Something
wrong?

Hey, this is some letter.

You write this letter, Princeton?

No, I just made a few changes.

Hmm.

Sign it for me.

You know, Preston, I like the way you
work.

I hope I haven't been working you too
hard.

No, fine.

The hours are a little strict.

A little difficult getting here from
where I live all the time, but fine.

Hey, I got an idea. We got a nice place
up on the top floor.

Why don't you move in up there?

That's not really necessary.

Oh, it's the least I can do.

I'll have the servants fix it up.

Okay?

Thank you.

Good. Welcome aboard.

Oh, while you're up, will you get me
that envelope over there?

Open it up. Open it up. I want to show
you something.

They just sent this rendering over from
the office.

It's a new toy.

Hey, did you ever see that show on TV?

What was the name of it?

Raccoon, Rick the Raccoon?

You know the guy who goes around with a
mask on like that fellow on TV?

Hey, ever see a raccoon?

Well, look at this, see? We're coming
out with a new toy called Rick the

Raccoon. It has a removable mask and
natural fur.

Very cuddly.

How about it, Prince?

This is a new product.

What? This is a new product.

Oh, this? I've had it for...

Oh, oh, oh, you mean the dolls?

Yeah. Don't you think the kids today
want something a little more

Oh, look, there are millions of fools
every year who buy teddy bears and

dolls. They might just as well squeeze
Rick the Raccoon.

Have you ever seen the show?

For heaven's sake, you must think I'm
crazy.

No, Mr. Beale, but if you knew anything
about this show, you'd know it's been on

the air for three years.

It's too late.

You want a warehouse full of raccoons?
Get me that phone.

Harmon, how long has this show been on
the air?

And how come we are just now coming out
with this new toy?

What difference does it make if nobody
else did? The next time you get an idea

from a television show, make sure it's
not a rerun.

to have missed it.

You been to the gallery?

No.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Why are you staring at me?

Was I staring?

What are you doing?

Was I staring?

Let me out of here.

You don't value your job very much, do
you, Mr. Cochran?

Let me tell you something. I've seen
you.

I've seen what you're doing with my
husband. Little ideas, little

Well, he doesn't need you, Mr. Cochran.
And no matter how hard you try, you

can't make him.

Your mistake.

I brought you a present.

What's the matter, honey?

Why so glum?

Look, I brought you a present.

Something to keep you company.

Come on, open it.

This is the latest Beale toy creation.

Oh, not just another doll.

Here, let me show you.

Teddy Bear, this is a dumpster toy you
brought me. What am I going to do with

them all?

Look. I always give you the first one.
Good luck. You always get the first.

Now watch.

I love you.

I love you.

Come on, watch.

Here, hold it. Terry, I don't want to.

I love you.

I love you.

How about that? Pretty good, huh? You
like it?

I love you.

I love you. I love you. There's a little
tape recorder inside.

It says anything you want.

You like it, huh? I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

What's the matter, Peg?

What's the matter?

Yeah, come here, please.

I was just over there.

Please, Kenny.

Thank you for the present.

Oh, you liked it, huh? It's very cute.

I just hope a couple of hundred thousand
kids think so. They will.

Teddy, I want to ask you a very
important question.

Go ahead.

Do you have to have that Mr. Cochran
working for you?

What, Princeton?

What's wrong with him?

He's the best secretary I ever had.

Oh, you mean,

well...

I'll save these for you for next time.
And don't worry about me. Just take care

of yourself.

Good to see you. Good to see you, sir.

Oh, come on. There you go.

Good night now.

Sit down before I beat you to it.

Well, maybe I'd better not sit down. I
might not be able to get up again.

Hey, what are you doing in here?

I just wanted some quiet.

Well, on your birthday, we'll have a
nice, quiet little party.

All right?

You haven't seen my wife around here,
have you?

No.

She's probably showing her off furniture
to somebody.

What's the matter?

You don't like parties.

Yes, you told me. You like quiet.

You don't like crowds either, do you,
Princeton?

Now what's the matter?

I wish you wouldn't call me that.

What? Princeton?

What's wrong with that?

A nice name.

My sergeant used to call me Princeton.

Ah, well.

Look, I'll call you something else if
you like.

You see, I don't mind names.

Everybody calls me everything.

My wife calls me teddy bear.

My brother -in -law calls me Bill.

And my car partners call me Fatty.

And my competitors. You should hear what
they call me.

What shall I call you?

Anything you like.

What if my wife called you?

John.

I like Prince.

Hey, hey.

Do you see all this furniture?

My wife picked it up.

I had a nice old stuffed chair in my
place over on 3rd Avenue. Beat anything

this room any day of the week.

Did I ever tell you how I met my peach?

Do you know?

No. Well, I was at a toy convention in
St. Louis seven years ago. She was a

young kitten then. And she was up on the
stage.

She was up there on a stage in a lovely
bathing suit with a big ribbon all

across her.

And then this master of ceremonies
stepped out and he said, Ladies and

gentlemen, I'd like to present Mr.

Toy of 1957.

I rushed up and said hello. You know how
it is at these conventions, everybody

grabs you first and says hello about
three days later?

Well, I walked right up and I said
hello.

And about, what, about a year and a half
later...

I married her, see?

Where is Peg?

She's probably with the other guests.

Hey, I got an idea.

I'm going to have Peg do her routine for
you. Oh, she had a speech she did at

that convention.

I'm going to find Peg and have her do it
for you. No, Mr. Beale, I just... I'll

have her do it for you.

I think she's this way, Mr. Beale.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey. Oh.

Hey, we're still going strong.

If Sandy and I get a new dance, we want
a straight go. Yeah, let's do it, baby.

I made a drink.

Your husband is looking for you.

That's very funny.

Your husband is looking for you.

You want to go to him, or shall we wait
here for him to find you?

Good morning. Good morning.

I see you survived the party.

I don't drink.

No, there's no need to hurry. Teddy's
still in bed.

With a hangover.

That's all right. I have work to do.

Do you?

What do you want?

Do you really have work to do this
morning?

Of course I have work. You think I'm
here for my health?

Your boss is dead to the world. There's
nobody here to secretary for.

Is that what you came here to tell me?

Didn't you really come here to find
something else?

If I know when or not I was going to say
anything to your husband about last

night.

I didn't say it.

Why don't you ask me?

Go ahead, ask me.

Well, it's that simple.

Ask me.

Oh, don't bother. I'll tell you. I could
care less what you did last night or

any other night, Fort.

Oh, really?

John?

John?

Wait a minute.

Please, John, I'm sorry.

It's just that I've noticed the way you
look at me.

It won't open.

We're between the floors.

Son, please listen to me.

Well, it's stuck, and we're between the
floors.

It can be fixed, John. We can fix it.

Just listen to me for a minute.

What?

I really did come to you because I
noticed... You noticed what?

What did you notice?

What's the matter with you?

Do you think I'm a fool?

Do you think I don't notice?

You think I walk around with my eyes
closed?

What are you anyhow, huh?

This dust toy.

You know what you are?

A board.

A board stiff with that fat old man in
you, Noah.

With Bill and crew all over him.

And you can hardly stand one minute of
it.

But you keep right on, don't you, huh?

Like a trooper.

And it dresses you in black and sleeves
you in silk.

And you send it out to play, and it's
amazing when your husband's birthday.

He's a barrel of fun, isn't he, huh?

A lot of laughs this past seven years. A
lot of toys.

A lot of parties. A lot of jokes, huh,
from your teddy bear?

How about it, Mr. Smith?

Take a little peek.

You hate it all, don't you, Smith?

You hate it.

Oh.

Tom, I'm sorry.

You've been stuck up there for a while,
haven't you? I was wondering what was

happening. I kept pressing the buzzer.

I finally went and fixed the fuse.

We didn't know what happened.

Oh, it's the fuse.

And when that happens, you just press
the alarm bell. And if the bell doesn't

work, just give a loud yell.

Now look, if this thing gets stuck,
don't panic. And don't bang on the

and don't shout terrible things.

Just press the alarm bell like this,
see?

There's always somebody in the house,
aren't we, Steph?

Oh, my head.

What am I doing up?

My stomach is feeling better, but my
head... Oh, if that gets stuck, it means

the fuse is blown.

It means that somebody's using the
electric iron and the dishwasher and

something else all at once.

So... Oh.

Oh.

Thank you.

So, we take a fuse from here, and we put
it into place, mark lift.

That's English for elevator.

There we go.

Put the old fuse here.

Simple, huh? The elevator is now
running. Can you remember that?

Good.

Teddy Bear, why don't you go on back to
bed?

That's a good idea.

One item which might well go into a time
capsule is the station brick.

In fact, I would love to enclose this
next one, but they won't allow me to get

my hands on it. However, you may examine
it, after which our story will

continue.

You ready?

Mm -hmm. Then go.

He's coming up on your side.

Come here.

Here he comes.

There he is.

We got him.

And they're a fly again.

Give him to me.

I wish Teddy were out playing cards
every night.

We could fly.

Would you fly somewhere with me?

Where? Anywhere.

Where do we live on?

Doesn't matter. We could live in a tent.

If we lived in a tent, you'd want room
service.

Not with you.

I'm private.

You want to go?

I don't know.

I just want to get away from him. I
don't know where.

How about... What did you say?

What did you say?

How about that?

I'd be out of words.

Would you?

Well... What did you say?

We could get married without him dying.

He'd never give me a divorce.

And if he did, I wouldn't have anything.

But if he were to die, soon, I'd have
everything I know.

That's very funny.

Everything and me, huh?

You know what I mean.

You want to kill him?

Yeah.

It doesn't sound so simple when you put
it that way, huh?

It doesn't.

Why don't we just wait a while?

I don't want to wait.

We can kill him.

Peg, why not do it my way?

Tell me.

I mean, you're so smart.

We could find a way. A foolproof way.

Hey, I got something new.

You're going to love it. This is just
great. We're putting out a new game, and

it's called Go Ball.

Great. You've got to play it. It's just
great.

Now, I'm going to set this pole up, and
you clear this away. Will you get all

these chairs out of here for everything?

And here we go.

Now, there are a couple of paddles over
there. Get them for me, will you?

There's one for you and one for me.

Well, I'm not very good at games, as you
know. Oh, look, this is a caulker. I

beat everybody down at the plant this
morning.

Beat me?

Ha, ha, ha. Not on your life.

Now, look, the object of this game is to
wrap this rope around the pole, right

up to the ball.

You got it? I think so. I'll learn as we
go along.

Hey, Princeton, how about a wager,
double or nothing?

You're free kick. How about that?

Well, I'm not very good at this.

Double or nothing, I serve.

You ready?

Set. And here we go.

There.

Come on, 20 minutes.

What do you say to your aunt, Peg, for
giving you the teddy bear?

Thank you. You're welcome.

It was a lovely night.

And thank you, John, for sharing with me
all the toys.

Will we see you again soon?

Soon? Of course.

We'll see you next week in the country,
remember?

The country?

Didn't Ted tell you about it at the
party? He told us he wanted to bring you

down to the country for a few weeks'
vacation.

Oh, he shouldn't have told you. It's
probably a surprise.

Yeah, I guess it was.

Well, he said you've been so restless
lately here in the city that he was

to let the servants go and rush you off
to the country.

So we'll see you next week.

I guess so.

Have a good trip back. Bye.

Well?

Well, what?

Why did he do that? Why didn't he tell
me?

He likes to surprise you.

Do you believe that?

I think he knows something.

I think he knows we're planning
something.

That's ridiculous.

How could he?

I don't know, but he could.

I'm sure he knows something. I don't
want to be alone with him.

Peg, please.

We've got to do something.

Soon.

Now, before we leave. We have to.

Peg, honey, you're imagining things.

Look, we've got to take our time. We
can't afford to make a mistake. We don't

have any time.

Peg.

Your husband likes my work.

I'm going to be here a long time.

A long time to find just the right way
to get rid of him.

Everything's all right.

Just give me some time.

What's all this for?

Just coming for the holidays, sir. A lot
of dust can accumulate in three weeks.

You know something?

These antique never look better.

Goodbye, sir. Have a nice holiday.

You wanted me for something?

John, you haven't been here very long,
have you?

No, sir.

No, I haven't. I hate to say this.

But it looks like I'm going to have to
find myself another secretary.

Well, don't panic.

I've just paid you a compliment.

I'm going to kick you upstairs.

You're just wasting your time around
here.

Hey.

How would you like to work in Europe?

Don't know. Doing what? Well, we're
going to try to open up a new market

there. Our toys don't speak any
language. And there's no reason why a

can't have one. I want you to go over
there for about six months.

Oh, I'll give you a month's vacation in
front.

You'll travel all over, and if things
look good, we'll be in business and

be in charge. How about that?

I'd like to think about it.

Good. I'll give you a couple of seconds.

I want you to leave today.

Today? P -O -D -A -Y.

Peg and I are leaving for the country in
an hour. We'll all leave together.

Today is... Oh, this just happened this
morning, John. It was my brainstorm.

They were going to send somebody else,
but I vetoed him for you. How about

Well, it's very tempting.

So, pack now.

We'll all leave in an hour. Come on.

Hey, Penny, I'm not going away forever.
I'll be back.

Six more.

I don't want to be with that man for six
more days.

Well, I'll be back. We'll do everything
when I come back.

He knows we're planning something.
That's why he's sending you away.

How could he know? He likes my work,
that's all.

He does know. I know he does, John.
We've got to do something.

What are we going to do?

You're off to the country this afternoon
and I'm going to Europe.

You don't want to help me at all.

That's what it is. You don't love me
anymore, do you? Sit down, please. He's

still in there.

Let him hear. He knows anyway.

You don't love me. You just don't care
anymore. You get a golden opportunity

you jump at it like a fish. Well, how
about us? How about us?

Honey.

I love you.

All right, do you? What's the matter?

I think he's all right. He doesn't know
a thing.

He simply likes the way I've been
working. That's all.

I refuse to go.

I can't. It's more important than me.

It's for you.

John, please.

Please.

Hold it. Hold everything. I have to go
to Chicago.

Chicago? What about our trip?

Oh, they filed up a deal out there and
they want me to come. You'll have to

explain to Jennifer and Glenn that I'll
be along later in the week.

We'll still have more than two weeks
together.

They'll be very disappointed.

Are you ready to leave right now, John?

I think so.

Well, if I'm going too fast for you,
just say uncle.

Look, I want you to take the limousine.
I have some papers I want dropped off at

the plant.

Peg, you and I will take a cab to the
airport.

There are some things I want to talk to
you about.

Are all the servants gone?

All but Ralph and the driver.

Good. Isn't this fun? Everybody's taking
a trip.

John, do you want to take a look at
these papers a minute?

I'll finish packing.

Now, look.

This is for Harmon and Dickinson.

Ralph, you can put the bag in the cab,
and there's no need for you to wait

around any longer. Mr. Beale and I are
the only ones left.

Very good.

Have a good vacation, madam. You too,
Ralph.

Operator, I want to call Rome, Italy.

Person to person to John Cochran at the
Excelsior Hotel. Calling Ted?

No.

The weather bureau. I call the weather.

Down here?

It's always the same.

Why don't you call Ted?

I'm sure if you work on him, he'll get
away.

No. He's been gone a week. Longer than
you expected.

That wouldn't work. You see, he's very
busy.

Wouldn't you like to have Ted come down
right away?

I'd rather not call.

Oh, please, Aunt Peg.

My teddy bear misses Uncle Ted.

See? He's crying.

See? I love you. I love you. I love you.
I love

you. I love you.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I
love you. I love you. I

love you. I love you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Can I bring them in?

No, no, no. That won't be necessary.

Okay.

My, you're looking well.

Something wrong?

No.

How was the country?

What?

Miss me?

Yes.

Sorry I couldn't make it. The deal got
very complicated.

But I do have a surprise for you.

You like them?

They're something, huh?

Every one is perfect.

I kept the oysters working overtime.

All right.

Come on, let me put them on for you. No,
why don't we just go... Oh, come on.

What's the matter?

Have a rough flight?

You look a little upset.

I'm just tired.

There.

You know, you're the only person in the
world who could do them justice.

I picked these up for you the day that
we left.

I wanted to give them to you down at the
country.

With the Arnold's, you know.

Mr. Mudd?

Yeah, that's why I didn't go to the
airport with you.

I told John to tell you that I'd taken
the papers down at the plant myself.

Well, you've been complaining that John
had been doing too many things for me.

And I thought that this was important
