You stay here, Dana, okay?

I'll be right back.

The corner window is to Dr. Wallenberg's study.

The bonds are in the desk.

They're a gift to the school.

He's gonna put them in the bank tomorrow.

They're negotiable... You're sure?

Pay to bearer... I looked.

15 ten-thousand-dollar bonds... $150,000.

And the doc won't get home till later?

On the 6:00 plane.

What about his housekeeper?

Well, we... whenever I bring the kid for her session,

she always takes her upstairs...

Stays with her all the time.

You'll be in the clear.

She heard us.

It don't make any difference.

Uh, she don't understand anything.

She's sick, uh, you know.

She's the kid from the school

I'm taking to Dr. Wallenberg.

She's supposed to wait for him.

Hi.

Did you hear anything, little girl?

Hey!

I'll go get the bonds.

She'd better be... For 150 grand,

she'd better be.

♪ ♪

I saw you coming, Amos.

Hello, Dana.

Come on, Dana, you know Mrs. Carr.

This is Dr. Wallenberg's house, remember?

You've been here lots of times.

Come in.

That's a good girl.

All right, now you can go upstairs with Mrs. Carr.

Hello, Dana.

Hello, Amos.

I thought you weren't getting back till 6:00, Doctor.

I never got away.

The meeting was canceled at the last moment.

Hello, Dana.

Hello, Dr. Wallenberg.

I've been arranging some surprises for you.

They're upstairs.

Would you like to see them?

Yes.

Dana, will you let Mrs. Carr take you up?

I have another present for you.

It's in the study.

I'll get it.

Well, good-bye, Doctor.

I think I'd better be getting back to the school.

Aren't they cute, Dana?

Wouldn't you like to play with them?

Now, when she came in,

you told me that you and the girl went upstairs,

is that right? Yes, immediately.

And the driver, Amos, left the house?

Yes, I heard his car drive away.

And at the same time,

Dr. Wallenberg went into the study, huh?

Well, he must have, sir,

because when I looked back at him from up there,

he was just about to go in.

And then when I left Dana... Oh, I'm sorry.

Joe. Hello, Art.

What are you doing here?

Bayshore Insurance covers the contents.

Dr. Wallenberg...

He evidently surprised an intruder in the study.

The housekeeper

and the little girl were upstairs at the time.

She's still too shook up to talk.

How old is the little girl?

About nine. She know anything?

She was a patient in the school the doctor ran...

The Geneva School.

Yeah, I've heard of it...

Uh, mentally disturbed children.

She's been ill... Withdrawn, they call it...

Ever since her father was killed

in an accident a couple of years ago.

I see.

I tried to talk to her,

but I couldn't make any contact.

She doesn't even know what happened.

What is it?

Wh-What's happened? Who are you, ma'am?

I'm Dr. Harley, of the Geneva School.

Why was I called here?

What's...

Is it Dr. Wallenberg?

Yes.

How did it happen?

Why is Dr. Wallenberg sleeping?

Why are you sleeping, Dr. Wallenberg?

Please!

Dana!

Dana, dear!

No!

No, I want Dr. Wallenberg to come up!

May I please come up, dear?

No!

I want Dr. Wallenberg.

If you come, I'll fly away!

Please don't move.

All right, I won't come up.

Why is Dr. Wallenberg sleeping?

He's tired.

He worked very hard today.

Dr. Wallenberg is my friend.

We're going to talk.

Aren't we, Dr. Wallenberg?

I'll fly away!

Dr. Wallenberg, please wake up.

We haven't had our talk today.

Please wake up.

Is there a back way up there?

Yes, through the side door.

Dana, Dana dear,

may I please come up, dear?

No!

No, I want Dr. Wallenberg to come up.

If Dr. Wallenberg is too tired,

I'll fly home and come another time.

It would be better for you to use the stairway

to say good-bye to him.

No.

Dr. Wallenberg would want you to use the stairway.

I will, if he asks me.

He's very tired.

Then I'll fly home.

No, wait!

I'll try to wake him up, all right?

Please hurry.

Dr. Wallenberg, would you please wake up?

He can't hear, all covered up.

I'll try again.

Hello, Dana.

Can I stay up here with you?

You're not Dr. Wallenberg.

No.

No, I'm Mr. Mannix.

You're not Dr. Wallenberg.

Dana,

Mr. Mannix is a friend of Dr. Wallenberg's.

May I take you home?

She lives at 12 Wiltern Terrace.

I'll call her mother and tell her to expect you.

Oh, is it all right if I come by

and see Dana at the school tomorrow?

All right.

Let's go this way.

The symptoms of the children vary

with the nature of the emotional disturbance.

The window is one way; they can't see us.

The child who's dancing,

she does that continuously for three hours every day.

We haven't been able to discover what number five means to him.

A total absorption in a fantasy represented by one number.

What is that thing?

That's our newest acquisition.

It's called a playscape.

It can be a house, a log cabin, an auto,

a spaceship, a boat.

It lets the child's imagination diverge,

rather than focus on a single fantasy.

Contact.

And allows two or more children to play together.

To relate to each other, rather than only to themselves.

What hope is there for them?

Well, on the basis of present knowledge,

for some, a great deal.

For others, a little.

For most, some improvement.

The problem is to make them

want to make contact with another human being.

What about Dana?

We felt there was hope for her

especially since Dr. Wallenberg took over.

Her relationship with him

was developing beautifully.

She's in with Dr. Gasperi now.

Do you know why she has the idea that she can fly?

Oh, yes, it's from Peter Pan.

Her mother told her the story before she became withdrawn.

Peter and Wendy and Captain Hook

have become almost her whole world.

Dana, how would you like to tell me about your favorite toy?

I suppose the loss of Dr. Wallenberg

will probably set her back, huh?

I'm afraid so.

Dana, tell me about the toy.

Well, she's extremely tense.

But did you notice her look up

when you came in the door just now?

I think she was hoping to see you, Mr. Mannix.

In fact, I'm almost sure of it.

She's been looking at the door constantly.

Remember when she took your hand?

A transference from Dr. Wallenberg, perhaps.

Probably when you told her he was my friend.

Is there anything I can do?

At the moment, the problem is to relax her.

I think you could help just by talking to her.

Would you?

Of course.

Hello, Dana.

Hello, Wendy.

Would you like me to talk to you?

Hello, Wendy.

Hello, Wendy.

Can I stay with you for a while?

Yes.

Would you rather I sat over there?

No, on the rock is safer.

Oh.

You're getting your feet wet.

Oops!

Hey, would you like to come over here on the rock with me?

What about the crocodiles?

Oh, I'm not going to let the crocodiles get you.

There we are.

You know what this looks like to me, Wendy?

Like a table.

Do you hear them?

No.

The pirates are coming.

Oh, is this a game, Dana?

I'm Wendy.

I'm sorry, Wendy.

Are there really pirates, or, uh, are we just playing a game?

That's the marker.

Of what?

Where the treasure is buried.

The pirate's treasure?

Dr. Wallenberg's treasure.

And the pirates are coming to get it?

Oh! They got it!

They took it! Who?

Amos! He stole Dr. Wallenberg's treasure.

Amos is our school driver.

He always drives Dana to Dr. Wallenberg's house.

Yeah, yeah, so I've been to the doctor's house lots of times.

So what?

Well, you were in the room the morning of the day

Dr. Wallenberg was killed, the room where he was shot.

So, what does that prove?

Well, according to my information,

you picked up the bonds that morning from the trust company,

and you delivered them to the doctor's house.

Does that mean I stole them?

I never said you did.

Then what are you after me for?

For information.

You knew the bonds were negotiable, didn't you?

How should I know that?

Well, you were in the trust company's office

when they put the bonds in the envelope.

Look, I wasn't at the house when it happened.

Ask the housekeeper.

I was on my way back to the school.

I didn't have anything to do with it.

Who'd you talk to after you delivered the bonds?

I didn't talk to anybody!

Have you ever had $150,000 in your hands before?

Me? Nice feeling, wasn't it?

Did you tell anybody how it felt?

Why would I?

Well, it must have been quite a thrill,

having all that money in your hands, practically in cash.

Yeah, okay, but I...

Then you did know they were negotiable.

I never said I didn't, did I?

Who'd you tell?

Nobody.

Nobody?

Look, why don't you tell me exactly what you did

from the time you delivered those bonds

until you left that little girl at Dr. Wallenberg's.

Hey... I don't have to talk to you.

You've got no right to get on my back.

Now, you get out of here right now!

All right, Amos, I'll get out.

I've got to stop by the police department anyway.

Oh, by the way, have you met Lieutenant Malcolm?

Come on, Joe, don't you think we checked him out?

He's clean.

He's worked at the Geneva School for 15 years.

Yeah, but he's never carried

$150,000 in negotiable bonds before.

No record of any kind.

He's carried payroll checks for ten years.

Hey, payroll checks aren't negotiable bonds.

He's just not the type.

To pull the job himself, maybe.

But to steer somebody else on to it?

Joe, are you suggesting

that I make an arrest on the word of a little girl

who confuses fairy tale and fact?

Well, now, Art, it's just that confusion

that makes me think there's something to it.

I don't follow you.

That little girl has absolutely

no motive to conceal anything.

Now, she's giving us

pure and simple repetition of something she knows.

How?

I don't know!

Look, Art, all I'm asking you to do

is put a little scare into him.

He's just too nervous and worried to be in the clear.

Now, there's something there.

All I want you to do is shake him up a little,

and I'm sure he'll spill over.

Joe, I can't shake a guy up for no reason.

You bring me something more concrete,

and I'll give you a hand.

Yeah? Hold on.

Joe, it's your office.

Yeah, Peggy?

Dr. Harley called.

She wants to know if you can come out to the school.

Did she say why?

They're having trouble

persuading the little girl to go home.

She's asking for you.

All right, call them back.

Tell them I'm on my way over.

Well, maybe I can just get you that "something more concrete."

You fool! Driving right in.

I told you to wait till I got back to you!

Nobody followed me; I was careful!

You don't get your cut till the goods are fenced, mister.

I didn't come about that.

Wait in the office.

Keep your eyes open.

Make sure he's alone.

All right, why'd you come?

A private detective named Mannix, he's after me.

He knows something.

What?

What does he know?!

That I was in on it.

A private detective?

You saw the cops last night.

Did they come back with him?

No, he was alone.

It's the bonds.

He's working for the insurance company.

Just what does he know, Amos?

He doesn't know about you.

He knows that I told somebody about the bonds.

You're crazy. How could he know that?

He says he knows.

What else does he say?

That's all. That's all he said.

And no cops... no warrant... no arrest?

No, no.

Calm down, Amos.

Don't you see?

This detective, Mannix, knows nothing.

It was just a wild guess to pressure you.

Relax!

Come on, you got nothing to worry about.

Just follow your usual routine till I call you

to come for your cut. Right?

Okay.

Remember, don't come till I call you.

You told me the girl in the car was a dummy.

That she didn't understand.

Yeah, that's right.

She can't help herself.

That's the way she is.

Did the girl see Mannix since yesterday?

Did she talk to him?

It was Mannix who brought her back to school afterward.

Maybe she said something.

If she did, he'll see her again.

Maybe she'll say another word and then another.

Where does she live?

Here in the city, 12 Wiltern Terrace.

She lives with her mother.

Amos... I'm going to give you a chance

to earn an extra share of the money.

What do you mean? How?

When can you drive the kid again?

Well, uh, her mother is supposed to

pick her up at the school today.

I could call up her mother and tell her I can take Dana home.

You'd be coming across the hills, right?

Yeah, right, right.

And the kid could have an accident on the way.

Right?

Come up on the rock, Peter.

It's safer here.

They're going to attack.

I'm not afraid of Captain Hook.

He's a terrible pirate.

That's only in make-believe, Dana.

I'm Wendy.

All right, now, it's time to think about going home.

Not until you help me escape from the pirates.

Okay. Where are they?

They're somewhere near.

Tell you what I'm gonna do,

I'm going to help you

if you promise to go home.

When my mother comes.

She'll be here right after lunch.

Now, then... where are those pirates?

Shh, Peter.

They're coming to blow up the rock.

Captain Hook is going to get the bombs and... and blow us all up!

From under there.

But that's where the treasure is buried.

That's where the bombs are kept.

I'm ready to fly to your house, Peter.

That's the shelter in the day-room.

Dr. Gasperi will take you there.

Little girls can't really fly.

Now, you know that, don't you?

Wendy can.

Thank you, Peter.

Come on.

Dr, Gasperi?

What's the matter?

I'm not sure.

I wonder if you can help me

think through something that Dana said.

If I can.

Over lunch?

All right.

What is it, Amos?

Dana's mother.

She was supposed to come for her,

but I talked to her on the phone a little while ago,

and I'm going to take Dana home.

All right.

The child'd better have some lunch first.

Sign her out after she's eaten.

I will, Doctor.

Thank you.

Uh, no.

You think somehow the crime

has now become a part of Dana's fantasy?

Well, it's a possibility.

Let's suppose she has heard the whole story of Peter Pan

from beginning to end, not just snatches of it.

What does that have to do with it?

Well, she's got parts of it all wrong.

At least, as I remember the story.

But it's normal for her to confuse things in fantasy.

Yeah, but there's still something

about her version that's bugging me.

About her flying?

No, in Peter Pan, Wendy could fly.

Well, surely not confusing Amos with a pirate?

A pirate who stole a treasure.

That's what pirates always do.

A pirate who wanted to blow up a rock.

She just confused the rock with the pirate ship.

Which in the story, Captain Hook did try to blow up.

Yeah, but Dana... Dana said he or the pirates,

wanted to take the bomb out from the rock.

I'm sorry for being so stupid, but I don't see th...

Well, now, that's where the treasure is buried.

What is it?

Well, a bomb is never buried treasure

in a pirate story.

Look, suppose if somehow, somewhere,

Dana overheard Amos talking about a bomb?

A bomb?

Bombs, bonds.

Amos?

Well, he did deliver them.

Oh, even so...

Look, do you think it could hurt Dana

if I tried to probe her memory?

No, I don't see any harm in it.

It might even help.

It's important for Dana to take that first step back to reality.

I'll see you tomorrow, Wendy.

Now, go on, go on.

Are we going to fly away?

I hit something.

Blew a tire.

We both could've been killed.

I'd better take Dana home with me.

I'll send back a service truck after you.

Come on, honey.

The boss is waiting for you.

Well?

I couldn't do it.

You mean she's alive?

Mannix took her home.

Mannix?!

He was following me.

He knows.

I want out. Please, I don't want any money.

I just want out.

What did you tell him, Amos?

I didn't tell him anything.

Honest.

I didn't tell him anything.

Okay, Amos.

You can have out.

Frank, take him to the office.

I want you to have a few bucks for your trouble.

I don't want any money.

You're entitled to that, Amos.

Okay?

Now we get rid of Mannix, then the kid.

Darling, tell Mr. Mannix exactly what you saw.

Wendy, when you were picking those flowers,

did you see Captain Hook?

Wendy saw both pirates.

Did Captain Hook look like anyone?

Like Amos.

Now, Amos drives you to school.

He's not a bad pirate.

I like pirates.

I like Amos.

I like Captain Hook.

Mm-hmm. What was Amos doing?

I picked some flowers.

Captain Hook was talking to the other pirate.

Uh, can you tell me what the other pirate looked like?

He had a pirate's face.

Hmm.

Could you hear what they were saying?

They were going to blow up the ship with bombs.

What ship?

The pirate ship.

Wendy, do you remember at school, you told me

that they were going to blow up the rock with the bombs?

Yeah, the rock in the lagoon.

We played on the rock.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Yes, please hold on.

Your secretary.

Thank you.

Yeah, Peggy?

Joe, I have a man on the other line,

but he won't leave his name.

He say what it was about?

He just said it's about some bonds.

Have him call me right back on this number, huh?

Now then, those, uh, old pirates

just kept talking and talking about bombs, huh?

Yeah, the ten-thousand-dollar bombs.

May I? Please.

Hello, this is Mannix.

I understand you're looking for some negotiable bonds.

That's right.

I bought them last night.

But I see in this morning's paper

that they're hooked into murder.

I don't want any part of murder.

What'd you have in mind?

You can have them back for what I paid for them: $40,000.

I'll have to put that up to the insurance company.

I'll have to go to them for the money.

I'll get right over there. Where can I reach you?

I'll call you.

And, Mannix, don't call the cops.

Worked like a charm.

You can pick him up

outside the Bayshore Insurance Building.

Yes, sir, I consider it the cheapest way out for us.

Very good, sir.

Well, he's leaving it up to me, but I'm

bothered by one thing.

Making a deal with a fence

puts the company outside the law.

That's a decision you'll have to make.

Hello.

Mr. Mannix?

Yeah, this is Mannix.

I'm just an errand boy in this case.

It would be just

waste motion if you tried anything.

Do I make myself clear?

Clear. MAN: Don't turn around.

Keep the phone to your ear.

Did you get the money?

It's in my pocket.

Very good.

I'll direct you to the address

where the exchange will be made.

If you take the phone from your ear, the deal is off.

Is that clear?

Clear.

Keep within the speed limit, please.

Turn right at the next corner.

The bonds are waiting for you inside, Mr. Mannix.

Now, throw your gun on the back seat, please.

Leave the money in the office where the bonds are.

There will be someone watching.

Now, let the phone fall as you get out.

Thank you.

Make sure he's dead and then get the money.

I'm going to take care of the kid.

Operator, get me the police.

This is an emergency.

Don't be afraid, little girl.

It's just a game.

You're the pirate!

Yeah... I'm the pirate.

Just going to play a little game.

If you don't go, I'll fly away!

I will!

I will, I'll fly away!

I mean it! I'll fly away!

I will! I will!

Little girl, what are you doing?

Get... little girl, get down. Get back.

Little girl, you'll fall!

Please, little girl, please.

Won't you please get down off that table?

Please, won't someone help her?!

I'll fly away. I will!

I really will! I'll fly!

I'll fly away.

I'll fly away.

I will!

Little girl, please.

Oh, my God.

Won't you please get down?

Please, please?

I mean it, I'll fly away!

I'll fly away!

I really will.

Please, get down!

Get down off that table!

Get inside.

Dana?

What are you going to do?

Hello, Peter.

I'm Wendy.

Look at me, Dana.

Who's my good friend?

"Good friend"?

Dr. Wallenberg is my good friend.

Yeah.

Dr. Harley said so.

Who's the little girl in Peter Pan?

Wendy.

What does Dr. Wallenberg call you?

I'm Dana.

Does Dr. Wallenberg say Dana can fly?

No, Dana can't fly.

Dr. Wallenberg says Wendy flies, not Dana.

Who am I?

You're not a pirate.

Who am I, Dana?

You're Mr. Mannix.

Yeah. Yeah...
