Original subtitles

As you can see, the lower lobe and central canal are clear.

We thought we would find lesions here and here, but nothing.

Did you run an EKG?

Of course, first thing.

Followed it up with a spinal angiogram and a full neurological workup.

And? And nothing.

Not a thing.

I thought it was an aneurysm, but the EKG ruled that out.

What about subdural hematoma?

The angiogram would have picked it up.

But it was negative.

Alan, we've just plain run out of tests.

Don't tell me you boys in neurology are calling for help, Alan. Come on, Alan. I

can't find anything physically wrong with her.

It's the damnedest case I've ever seen.

What's her name?

Randall. Alice Randall.

24 years old.

Married. No children.

What does the husband say?

Doctor, look, it's nothing personal, but I don't see why I would need a

psychiatrist to begin with. I mean, the other doctors have looked at her. They

must be able to.

I mean, she must have an illness. She must have something that is wrong with

her.

Mr. Randall, I can assure you that every conceivable test has been given to your

wife.

Complete neurological workup. Every possible medical alternative except

psychiatry has been tried.

Are you telling me my wife is crazy, doctor? Is that what you're trying to

me? Mr. Randall, your wife is a very disturbed woman.

It's my job through psychotherapy to find the root of this disturbance.

You say she's been having dreams.

Yes. Can you tell me something about these dreams?

They're horrible. They started some time ago and then they... progressed to the

point where she was having them every night. I mean, it was every night in the

middle of the night she would wake up screaming.

I'd been working late in the office and hadn't been spending much time with her,

so... I had promised her it was her third anniversary and I had promised her

that I would take her out for a big night on the town.

I rented a tuxedo and she got all dressed. She was really pretty.

Anyway, we went out for a big night on the big town.

Well, here's to us. To our third anniversary.

What's gotten into you two?

I hope you do.

don't want the champagne anyway, do you?

I've got a wonderful idea.

Okay.

First of all, I want you to unzip

me.

Okay, I think I can do it.

to fuck you like it's never been fucked before.

my shoes on.

caucus here.

Mr.

Randall, that seems to me like relatively normal behavior in a woman.

You don't understand. My wife's not that kind of a person. She's not aggressive.

I mean, it's been a problem between us in our sexual relationship together. I

mean, she's not an aggressive person. I'm always the one. And this one night,

she was the one.

Well, perhaps it was the champagne.

No, she's had champagne before.

It certainly wasn't the champagne. She looked... She looked right up at me.

Right at my face. And she said... I want you to fuck me in the ass.

Alice.

Now. Do you mean it?

Do I mean it?

I'll show you how I mean it.

I'm ready for you.

much the whole story.

Well, Mr. Randall, I don't see anything so terribly unusual about that. It

sounds to me like you had a pretty good time.

That's the funny part. I did.

I had always wanted Alice to be a bit more aggressive.

It's one of the things that was sort of missing in our relationship.

I was tired of always being the aggressor. It was always my idea when we

this and we did that.

Oddly enough, this person because she seemed different somehow was the the

person i had always really wanted her to be sexually anyway and uh you you now

found her to be uh another person altogether not another person but just

different traits different she was it was as though she was someone else yeah

was as though she were like she were an actress playing another part something

like that doctor can you help her Mr.

Randall, are Alice's parents alive?

She never knew who her parents were. She was orphaned there and

raised in a foster home.

She had made, of course, the usual attempts that an orphaned person would

to find her natural parents, and it failed each time.

They're kind of strict about that kind of thing in Canada for some reason.

So the answer to your question of are both of her parents alive, I don't know.

Time to meet the real Mrs. Randall.

You're going to like Dr. Bannister, Alice. I'm sure of it.

He's the best man in his department at university.

He's a very gentle soul.

There's nothing to worry about seeing him.

Now, don't get excited.

Alan Bannister is one of my best colleagues, and he's a fine person, and

will be fine before you know it.

Ah, here we are.

This is Dr. Bannister.

He's going to take care of you now.

You're not going to leave me, Doctor?

It's all right, Alice. Dr. Bannister is a colleague of mine, and he's going to

make you well.

Now, I'll drop by and see you a little later.

Doctor?

Alice, it's all right. I've been talking to Dr. Bannister, and he's got some

really good ideas about what he thinks is wrong with you.

If you could just spend some time with him and... Tell him about the dreams,

dreams that you've had.

I think that he can help you.

Isn't that right, Doctor?

Mr. Randall, perhaps it would be better if you waited outside.

Are you sure, Doctor? She's very upset. I think if I were here, she might be

able to maybe tell you more.

Well, if you'd be just right outside, I think we'll be all right, won't we,

Alice? No, no, Martin, please don't leave me. If the doctor says so, I think

maybe it would be better.

Okay. Alice, just let your husband go just for a few minutes. I'd like very

to talk to you alone.

I'll be right outside, darling.

Okay?

Be all right.

I'll be right outside.

but i need all the help that you can give me all right i have to understand

what's inside your head and the only way i can do that is if you if you tell

me what's inside okay okay it's

really hard for me i had

images i saw things

What did they look like?

I don't know.

I just... Visions. I kept seeing visions.

Alice, can you tell me something about who they were?

Men wearing uniforms.

What uniform?

Military uniforms.

I'm not sure.

Alice, your husband tells me you were an orphan. Is that so?

Yes, that's so.

Do you know anything about who your parents might have been?

No, I tried to find them.

I had a few leads, but nothing ever came of it.

And you were in a foster home.

That was Canada?

Quebec, and I lived in a foster home there until I was 18.

Then I went to school.

That's where I met Martin.

You were at school with Martin?

Yes, uh -huh, and...

He got a job, and that's what brought us to New York.

How long have you been in New York?

Three years, or two and a half, three years.

Alice, I'm going to inject you with a drug we call sodium pentothal.

It's not going to hurt you.

And you'll feel quite relaxed once it's in your system.

And it's designed to break down some of your

resistance to the truth.

It won't make you tell the truth, but what it will do is break down your

resistance to the truth.

So, just hold out your hand.

Roll up your sleeve.

Just relax.

and you feel the fluid go through your vein.

I want you to count backwards from 100, okay?

Okay Alice, start counting.

100 99 98

97 90 96...

95... 94...

93... 94...

93... Alice?

Who?

Is your name Alice?

I'm not Alice.

Who are you?

I'm not telling you who I am.

You know who I am.

You put me here.

Where are you, Alice?

I'm in an institution.

Where's the institution?

The one you put me in.

Who am I?

The awful one.

The one with the gates and the bars.

What gates?

When I first got here, I can't remember. There are gates and bars, sharp things,

pointy, large things.

Who am I, Alice?

I don't know who you are. You're a very bad person. You said I put you there?

You put me here. I'm not Alice.

My name is... I'm not going to tell you what my name is. You don't deserve it.

Are you in a hospital, Alice?

No, I'm not in a hospital. I'm in a zoo.

It's awful here. It's an institution.

Mental institution?

I don't know.

I'm not... No.

I don't know.

It's awful.

I don't eat. People are very bad to me.

Welcome back, Eve.

You're not going to get away with this easily.

Hi.

Well. Let me go.

Stop it.

No.

Please, stop.

Come on.

Let me go.

Come on. Let me go.

Just make sure you behave yourself here, dearie.

I can't wait to take you to the infirmary.

You see, Eva, we kept your bed for you.

See, nobody ever leaves Hardinwood for long, Eva.

We'll need the chair.

Oh, please.

No

one

ever leaves.

Smock here, all washed and ironed. Oh, you've been on a shopping spree.

How pretty.

Too bad you can't wear zippies here.

Now, I'm going to leave, and I want you to take these clothes off and put on

your pretty smock, and I will take these clothes off.

returned, huh?

What's the matter? The outside world was a little too much for you, my dear?

Still not talking?

Brenda, why don't you tell little Eva what she's missed?

Yes, Major.

Four, three, two, one.

Two, three, four.

You know, Eva, you tried to ruin my reputation in this institution.

I don't like that.

I guess we'll have to take the regular disciplinary actions.

You know what they are, don't you, Eva?

Things sure haven't changed much around here, have they, Brenda?

You should never have tried to run away, Eva.

Don't touch me. Keep your hands off me.

Keep your hands off me.

Okay. Don't touch me. I told you not to touch me.

I won't touch you. Keep your hands off.

All right.

Keep talking.

Got lots of pretty underwear.

You don't even get to wear underwear.

What's the matter?

You don't like it?

Well,

Brenda, do you like my suntan?

Huh?

Nice.

Eight. Nine.

Ten. You like it? Nice, huh? Smooth.

Oh, you wanna play rock, huh? You little bitch.

Just leave me alone.

Come back here and start causing trouble right away.

Go away.

And I promise you, if you bite it'll be minus your teeth.

Come on.

Come on.

That's it. Get it in there.

That's it.

See what happens to the girls who fight, do you know that? Yes.

Yes, keep sucking. Come on, keep sucking. That's it. Come on.

You can't breathe if you do that.

Your turn.

Come on, do it. Come on, do them.

Suck on it.

Suck on it.

Come on.

Suck it.

Everything we say, right?

Come on. No tempo, no tempo.

Yeah, that's it Eva baby, nice.

Oh, that's good.

Oh, okay baby, come on up.

One of me. I did.

Come on.

Come on.

See, doctor, you know how to treat the patient's mind. See that?

I'm gonna get touted out.

You big dicky, yeah.

What the hell's going on in here? Are you all right, sweetheart?

It's all right, Mr. Arnold. What's all the noise?

It's all right. We're making some progress. That's all. It's no problem.

Are you all right?

How do you feel?

I'm tired.

You can take her back to her room now, if you like.

It's all right. It's all right.

Come on, sweetheart.

Talk to you later, Alice.

Let me take you back to your room. Your sister sent you some nice flowers.

I think you'll be very happy with them.

I want to thank you for those flowers. They're beautiful.

Oh, yeah.

Sure. What's on your mind?

Oh, this case I'm working on.

His name, Randall.

Randall case.

Yeah.

I don't know. On the one hand, it seems like a standard schizophrenic syndrome,

and on the other hand, I don't know. There's something missing.

Oh, try not to worry so much.

You'll see. You'll figure it all out.

Let me wrap your shoulders.

Oh, you're so close.

Yeah.

I know just what you mean.

Just a nice pack.

I'm going to suck it out.

Fuck my dad.

Oh, please.

Oh, please, fuck me.

Oh, please, fuck me.

Oh, I wanted to see you.

I know you looked at your fingers and all that.

Oh, yes.

Everyone's such a pretty ass.

Oh,

I wouldn't have to feel good.

Tell me.

Are you sure about the plane reservations?

Huh? The plane reservations, have you got them all set?

Honestly, John, without plane reservations, without plane tickets, how

think we'd get to Europe? Swim?

Very funny, very funny. I just want to make sure that we get there all right,

okay? What's that? It looks like photographs.

Are there any of me?

Lucy?

Follow the residents.

Dr. Alan Bannister.

I was recommended that I call Mr.

Bollinger by Dr.

Miriam Albright, a colleague of mine.

An Alan Bannister?

Let me take it.

I don't understand it.

Hello. Hello,

Mr. Bollinger.

Yes, doctor.

Yes, my name is Dr.

Alan Bannister. I'm a psychiatrist at the University Hospital in town here.

How did you get my name? Dr. Miriam Albright gave me your name.

Yes, I do private detective work occasionally.

What I mean to say is I've never dealt with a private investigator before.

But I just have a feeling that in this case, you could be very useful to me.

Yeah, I suppose we could meet someplace and talk it over.

How about a nice ride on the Staten Island Ferry at 3 o 'clock?

It's a bit melodramatic, don't you think?

Can you tell me anything about the case?

Oh.

Okay. We'll talk on the Staten Island Ferry.

Right. I'll see you at 3.

College graduation.

Though I haven't looked at these pictures in years, it kind of takes me

Why, Susie.

My favorite year.

Thank you.

They picked an odd place for a meeting, doctor.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sure you understand this is not exactly a medically ethical thing to

do, hiring a private investigator.

A lot of people do it. Yeah.

Well... Can you tell me a little bit about it?

I have a patient named Alec Randall. Yeah.

Born in Quebec in June 1953.

An orphan.

That's all I know.

What do you want me to do about it?

Well, I want you to find out whatever you can, if you can find out anything.

About her?

About her. What she does?

Well, not so much what she does, but her background, her family.

If you can track down her real parents, anything like that.

All right, let's see if I've got this straight now.

The girl's name is Alice Randall.

She was an orphan born in Quebec, June 1953.

Listen, can you tell me anything about her medical problem? It might help me,

you know.

No, I'm afraid I can't do that.

You don't give me much to go on, you know, but we'll work it out.

I'll see what you can do, huh? Yeah.

When should I see you again? Well, as soon as you find out anything, let me

know.

Someplace else besides the Staten Island Ferry. Okay, we'll make it a coffee

shop. Coffee shop, anything.

Okay, see what we can do. All right.

I want to talk to you about the Randall case.

Randall case?

Look,

I know certain things about Alice Randall. The orphan, she was born in

somewhere in the early 50s.

What I want you to do is check out the records if you can.

See if you can find an orphan birth in Montreal in the early 50s, start with

go through 55.

Okay, honey, I'll do it for you, but... Next time, honey, lunch at the plaza.

I'd see you here.

Honestly, John, I just can't see how you can stand these museums so early in the

morning. Habit, I guess. It's the only thing that wakes me up.

What did you find out?

Oh, Daddy's coming in at one o 'clock from O 'Hare.

No, Susie. I mean about the Randall business.

Oh, that.

Well, no one wants to say anything about anything.

Absolutely nothing.

It's like as if they're just trying to cover up something. I don't know what,

though.

All I can tell you is that I found this phone number, this woman named Duval.

She's in charge of the Hall of Records in Montreal.

And perhaps you can use your 400 charm on her.

She sounds quite sexy, you know. Thanks, Susie.

Hey, how about lunch?

No, honey, I can't.

I'm picking Daddy up for you.

Oh, Susie, come on.

Honey, you know daddy comes first.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yes, Mr. Bell?

Yes. How do you do? Fine.

This is certainly strange.

Why couldn't we have met more often?

Well, it's nice of you to come out here on this cold day.

It's rather personal. I thought maybe we could talk more on a personal level.

Tell you what, let's walk.

All right.

Where else is my 35th account?

I like it quite well. It's nice.

Well,

you see, I represent a client of mine, a psychiatrist who hired me. He has a

patient in a mental hospital.

I'm trying to find the natural parents of this patient. She was born orphaned

here in Canada.

Well, Mr. Bollinger, I mean, surely you realize that here in Canada, just as in

the States, there are very strict regulations regarding the...

Giving out of these documents. I mean, if they were to imagine, I mean, natural

parents could be in here all the time. Right.

Seeking to prove something.

I realize that.

Please, call me John.

All right.

May I call you... Simone, yes.

Simone.

I thought perhaps I could bypass all that red tape and speak to you on a

personal level. You seem to be a...

Compassionate person, very attractive. I thought perhaps maybe you could

understand on a personal level the importance of all of this. Well, of

understand. I mean, I'd like to understand, but you understand I can't

that. I'll lose my job.

Well, some things are more important than a job. This happens to be one of

Well, how can I help you?

Well, the woman's name is Alice Randall.

Oh, oh, you mean... In the Crimmins case.

Crimmins?

Yeah. Randall is just the name of her foster parents, the people who took care

of her afterwards.

What else can you tell me about it?

Alice Randall is a Siamese twin. She was separated from her sister in two

months. The surgery was so successful that there are no scars, and actually

there's no way anyone would ever know.

My God.

So what happened to her sister?

She's hopelessly in pain.

She's at the Hortonwood Institute, just outside of Provence.

Let's see.

Simone, this may just be what my client is looking for.

You've been a tremendous help, really.

I'm glad, John. I really wanted to be.

That's nice.

Shall we go?

Let's talk about New York.

Yes, Mr. Bollinger.

I hope the Canadian authorities work for operatives.

Yeah.

Uh -huh.

Well, great.

Can you get back into town right away?

All right. Well, we can take another ride on the ferry if you like.

Yeah, I'm very anxious to hear what you found out.

Great.

All right, fine. We'll see you then.

I'd like to inject you again today with the sodium pentothal and see what else

we can come up with, all right?

Oh, Dr. Cleats, do we have to do that again? I didn't like it. I was so tired

from the last time.

It's very important.

You did very well on it the other day.

Okay, Alice, roll up your sleeves.

There we are.

You should be used to this by now.

Nothing to it.

Nothing to it.

Okay. Make a fist.

That's a go.

Start counting backwards.

One hundred... ninety -nine... ninety -eight... ninety

-seven... ninety -six... ninety -five... ninety

-four... ninety -four... ninety... Okay,

Alice. Can you hear me?

I'm not Alice. I told you I'm not Alice.

You know what my name is. You think you're... My name is Eva. Where are you,

Eva? I'm in this place. It's an awful, disgusting place. You put me here.

It's getting late, Robert.

Where is that little tart?

Oh, why don't you go ring the bell? I'm sure Miss Olaby could bring her up here.

Yes, ma 'am.

Jesus, I have a beauty appointment in a half hour.

Well, I should hope so.

And they'd better be quick about it, Missy. Yes, ma 'am.

No! No! It wasn't one of the phones.

You gotta

watch

this because you've been a bad...

You seduced all the men.

You seduced me.

But no more. No, I didn't do it. You're never going to fuck a man ever again.

No. No more cocks in you. Never.

Never.

Yes.

No.

No. No.

You're too strong for that.

Never. Never.

Watch.

I know.

Please, don't do that. Stop. Stop now.

Who is Ava, Alice?

Who is Ava?

Do you want to tell me who Ava is?

No.

I'm just...

Where would you get me Martin Randall?

Hello?

Mr. Randall?

Yes, doctor, thank God.

I found out something very interesting in terms of your wife's problem.

I think we're getting very close to finding out some very interesting

answers. What did you find out?

Well, why don't you, would it be possible for you to come down to the

this afternoon?

Of course I can make it.

How long will it take me to get across town? Half an hour, 35 minutes.

Okay, fine.

See you then.

Mr. Randall, we have a surprise for you. No more wheelchair.

Darling, you look incredible.

It's almost a miracle.

Two days ago, you looked like hell, and now it's... Thank you.

What happened?

It seems that Alice was a Siamese twin at birth.

She was separated from her sister at the age of two months.

There's no scar left because the surgery was done well enough so that it left no

scar.

Her sister has been in various institutions for the mentally ill

life.

And somehow Alice has been able to communicate telepathically with her

So the experiences, the nightmares, the quote nightmares Alice was having.

were in fact the actual experiences that her unfortunate sister was living

through.

We've arranged to move Alice's sister from the institution she was in, and the

institution is in the process of being closed down.

She's presently in another institution I'm personally familiar with, and I know

she's in good hands.

Can we see her? I mean, is it possible?

Of course, I'd be happy to arrange that if you'd like.

Yes, I would.

As soon as Alice is well enough to leave the hospital, I think I'd like to go

immediately.

Alice is well enough to leave the hospital right now.

All right, well, I'll give you the name of the hospital in the back of the sea

in Montreal.

We can go this afternoon if it's all right with you. No, I want to go as soon

possible. Miss Randall, you should understand that at any time in the

Alice might have another sympathetic communication with Sammy's

twin.

She's well cared for.

Yes, that's the point. In the future, we'll see that

she's never placed in a place like that again.

St. Bartholomew's Hospital in Montreal. Dr. Lebeau is the one I asked for.

That's right.

What can I say?

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Thank you so much, both of you.

Thank you.

Why must you always be late?

Well, I had to have lunch with Daddy.

Daddy again.

Honey, that's part of being the governor's daughter. I'm sorry.

Let's walk.

Okay.

By the way, you know, I got this letter today.

And you'll never believe where it came from.

So tell me, who's the letter from?

Well, do you remember the Randalls?

The Randall case?

Randall. Randall.

Name sounds familiar. Come on, John. You know who I'm talking about. All right.

So what do the Randalls have to say?

Well, first of all, you know that whole mess about their sister?

Alice's sister.

Well, she's in better hands now. Oh, that's good.

And secondly, they had a little baby girl.

Oh, great.

And guess who they named her after?

Me. No.

Yours truly.

Me. Well, that's great.

I think this calls for celebration.

Why don't I take you out on the town tonight?

Sounds nice.

Except just one little thing.

What's that?

I have to be in by 12 midnight.

Daddy again?

Daddy again?

Oh, Susie.
