- [Announcer] Immediately after the launching

of US satellites, number one and number three

into outer space,

newspaper headlines across the country told the world

of a new radiation hazard from the sun.

Far more deadly than cosmic rays.

An obscure scientist, iconic Dr. Gilbert McKenna

had already discovered this danger from the sun.

This is his story.

- They're bringing him in now.

- The radiation patient?

- Yes.

- Oh, I don't know if I like that.

- Guys, it's a bad one.

This guy's been soaked with radiation.

- [Nurse] I better call Dr. Stern.

- [Medical Assistant] He's been out since we picked him up.

- Page Dr. Stern please for admitting room.

Emergency.

- Let's get back to the wagon, Bob.

- Yeah.

- [Nurse] Did you get his name?

- Yeah, it's Dr. Gilbert McKenna.

- Dr. Buckell, I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

- It's alright doctor, you're a busy man.

Ms. Lansing, this is Dr. Stern.

- How do you do, doctor?

- You worked with McKenna too, Ms. Lansing?

- Yes.

- Yes, we're on our Dockstar project together.

Ms. Lansing is Dr. McKenna's laboratory assistant.

- Is he going to be alright, doctor?

- I'm afraid that's too soon to say definitely, Ms. Lansing.

He seems to be improving although--

- Although what?

- Ms. Lansing, I asked you and Dr. Buckell to come here

because there are some very puzzling factors

in this case.

- What do you mean?

- Before we go into that,

I would like to know exactly what happened out there.

Sit down, please.

- We're doing some work on newly developed

radioactive isotopes.

We use all the usual precautions.

Lead screens, remote control handling device,

you what I mean.

All radioactive material is kept in a lead vault.

When we want a particular isotope,

we have a little electric train.

A toy train,

like you give to kids to Christmas

which we back into the vault.

And we load on the isotope

by means of a remote controlled arms

and run the train out of the vault again.

- I see.

- But this morning, something happened.

Dr. McKenna had just run the train out of the vault when,

Ann, you were there. You tell him.

- Well, the train always stops

behind the large lead screen before we unload it.

Gil, Dr. McKenna had gone behind the screen

to take the container off the train and,

well, it must've fallen to the floor.

I was on the other side of the room and I heard a noise

and he called out to me, there’d been an accident.

- Well, when those things happen,

we never, under any circumstances deviate

from regular procedure,

there's an alarm button in the room

which alerts the whole building into an emergency station.

Ms. Lansing sounded the alarm and then left the room.

That's also part of the procedure.

- Were you exposed to the radiation?

- No, I was on the other side of the screen.

- The odd part is that when the emergency crew

went in to investigate,

they found Dr. McKenna unconscious.

Now, generally speaking, overexposure to radiation

doesn't cause loss of consciousness.

- How long was he exposed?

- Oh, five or six minutes.

It takes the emergency crew that long

to put on their radiation suits before they went in.

- He was exposed all this time?

- Yes.

- I just don't understand it.

- What don't you understand?

- Dr. Buckell, you've told me that Dr. McKenna was exposed

to highly radioactive material for five or six minutes.

Yet, after he recovered after the initial shock,

he showed absolutely no residual effects, whatever.

No burns, no radiation effects, nothing.

- That is unusual.

- Then he's alright.

- Well, we hope so.

- Hope so? But you said he showed no reaction.

- So far, he hasn't.

It seems inconceivable that he could be exposed

for that length of time without any effect.

Well, we can only wait and see.

Please excuse me.

And may I suggest you check with me in a day or so.

I feel we should keep him under observation

for a few days.

- Thank you very much, doctor.

Very kind.

- Yes, thank you so much.

- You let us know if any--

- By all means.

I will be watching him very closely.

Goodbye.

- Bye, doctor.

- What effect does he expect, Dr. Buckell?

- He doesn't know.

In fact, nobody does.

It's a new isotope that never existed in nature before.

What its effect will be is anybody's guess.

And if Gil would only listen when--

- I already know what you're thinking.

But it's not Gil's fault.

- That's how it looked this morning, Ann.

- He just had a headache.

- You mean a hangover.

- The equipment must have been at fault.

Gil's always careful when he handles isotopes.

- Careful?

How can anybody be careful with a hangover?

- He didn't have a hangover, I was with him all morning.

He had a headache!

- You see Gil through rose-colored glasses.

I've known him since he was a first year science major.

In fact, I was the one who recommended him to this project.

And I warned him for the last time.

Whiskey and soda mix, not whiskey and science.

- We better discuss this some other time.

- Alright, we discuss it when Gil's done with this.

Come on, I'll take you home.

- How are you feeling Dr. McKenna?

- Swell since till a moment ago,

I felt strong enough to shake down the very walls

of this hospital but as soon you entered the room,

your beauty so overwhelmed me

that I feel as weak as a day-old kitten.

Time for cocktails?

- Oh, I asked you a serious question.

I’d like a serious answer.

- Alright, I feel very well, thank you.

But I am getting a little tired

of being treated like a specimen

under a microscope. All the hospital staff

standing around waiting for me to develop some new symptom.

- You'll be able to be go home in a couple of days.

- Good.

- Right now, we're going to take you out for an airing.

- Oh, fun.

- Up to the solarium roof where you’ll get plenty of sun.

- Good, let's go.

- Oh, not so fast.

We’d like you in a wheelchair.

- A wheelchair?

- That's right, that’s doctor's orders.

I'll be back in a minute.

(calming music)

I'll be back for you in about 45 minutes.

- Alright.

- Pardon me, young man.

Is that perchance a magazine on the table

called sickness and health?

- Uh, let's see.

- I hope you won't think me rude

if I don't talk to you for a while.

I'm anxious to get at my article.

- Here it is.

(cheerful mellow music)

(spooky music)

- Young man, I hate to bother you again but (gasps).

Ah, your face!

Somebody!

(suspenseful music)

- [Gil] No, it can't be!

[glass breaks]

- [Nurse] Dr. McKenna?

What's wrong?

I thought (gasps).

(nurse screams)

- I must know what’s happened to Gil.

Nothing I’ve heard makes any sense.

- Ms. Lansing, Dr. McKenna has fallen victim

to one of the strangest and most baffling

medical phenomena I've ever seen,

or even heard of.

Let me try to explain what I mean.

These are basic classes of beings in the animal kingdom.

From the little one cell amoeba up here in the corner

through the intermediate classes and right down to man.

As you know, all life on earth

began with the one cell animals.

And biologists estimate that it took several million years

to evolve a evolve a form as complex as the mammals, as man.

But here's something very interesting.

During the nine-month period from conception to birth,

the human being goes through

the same evolutionary process in the womb.

In other words, he first begins as a one-celled animal.

Then he becomes a collection of cells.

He starts to assume a definite form

as the cells begin to take on specialized functions.

He next passes through a state when he is similar

in structure to a fish.

And then from an amphibian, to a reptile.

Finally he passes into the mammal state

where he begins to take on more and more

the appearance of a human being.

Now, we know that each individual

goes through this evolutionary process before he's born.

And it's not inconceivable that this process could be reversed.

- Reversed?

- It's possible.

- You mean a human being could evolve backward through time

to become some sort of prehistoric creature?

That's fantastic.

- So, doctor, are the isotopes you're developing

in your atomic laboratories. - Reversed...

- I want to show you some slides which may help you

to understand what's happened to Dr. McKenna.

Well, Dr. Buckell, could you get that blind for me, please?

Recently some biochemists conducted

a series of experiments on insects to see what effects

certain forms of radiation have on living cells.

I want to show you a red ant

which had been exposed to intense amounts of X-ray.

This is a common housefly after exposure to gamma rays.

This one used to be a grasshopper.

Well, I guess you get the idea.

Well, Dr. Buckell, could you get that blind for me, please?

Not very good, I'm afraid.

The radiation from that isotope caused the peculiar

and subtle change in the cells of Dr. McKenna's body.

Just as other radiation had done to the cells

in the bodies of those insects.

His whole appearance has changed into something scaly,

almost lizard-like.

- Oh no.

- But doctor, there was no hint of anything like this at first.

- No, a catalyst was needed to complete the reaction.

The catalyst is sunlight.

- Sunlight?

- That's what happened the other afternoon.

He was sitting in the sun when gradually,

the cells in his body reacted and you know the rest.

We were able to get him over that first attack

simply by putting him in a dark room.

- Then he's alright now?

- As long he stays out of the sun.

- What about artificial light?

- No trouble with that.

The radiation spectrum of tungsten

is quite different from that of sunlight.

- Doctor, how's he taking it?

Psychologically, I mean.

- Not too well.

He's retreated entirely into himself.

It's difficult even to talk to him.

- He resigned from the project.

- I got a letter from him.

He wanted to go off some place by himself.

Is he able to leave?

I mean is he well enough physically?

- Physically, yes.

Expect for this terrible sensitivity to sunlight.

However, this goes beyond the physical.

- Dr. Stern, you don't mean

that something's happened to his mind?

- A terrible thing has happened to him Ms. Lansing.

Somehow, he must learn to live with it.

To do that, he'll need help.

If he goes off by himself

where he'll have neither friends nor medical care,

well, there's no telling what could happen.

- Can't you keep him here?

- Not against his will.

(gloomy steady music)

(crickets chirping)

(steady gloomy music)

- Fill her up, please.

- Check the oil and water?

- No, thanks.

- Alright.

Say, how come the dark glasses at night?

- I've been in the hospital.

- That's too bad.

- Hey, where can I get some cigarettes?

- In the bar cross the street.

- Oh, Ann, Ann.

I just got the answer from Dr. Hoffman.

- He's agreed to come?

- Yes and if anybody can help Gil, it's Dr. Jacob Hoffman.

- Do you think he can?

- He's the best man in the country on radiation poisoning.

- When will he be here?

- Day after tomorrow.

Have you heard from Gil?

- No, the telephone's disconnected.

- Why don’t you drive out and see him?

- Do you think I should?

- I think you’d want to.

Anyway, good news like this

should be delivered personally.

- You're right.

I'll drive out in the morning to see him.

(gloomy music)

- [Gil] Darwin never even scratched the surface.

How could he?

Evolution backwards to the age of the reptile.

Half-human, half-lizard.

And I'm the guinea pig to be locked up alone.

(deep suspenseful music)

Hey!

Hey, come on!

Hey you guys!

(clock bell ringing)

- Must be getting late.

- Don’t be silly.

It's never late till the sun comes up.

What's the matter?

- Oh, nothing.

Why don't we go for a drive?

- Where are we going?

- Oh, take run down the beach or some place.

- The beach?

At this time of night?

- Why not?

- Why not what?

- George.

I said I'd let you know about tonight.

- You tell me about it now, Trudy.

- George, this is Gil.

- Yeah?

Well, are you ready?

- Well, I haven't finished my drink just yet.

- Okay, finish it.

- Hey, look. As long as you’re killing time,

why don't you sit down?

- No, thanks.

If you don't mind, she's going with me.

- We'll it isn't that I mind,

it just that I'm not sure she wants to go with you.

- Oh, yeah?

How about it, Trudy?

- George, I'm not ready to leave just yet.

Why don't you sit down?

- Hey, hey that's good enough, isn't it?

- Now look, mister.

I had a date to take Trudy home.

And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

- [Gil] Not if she doesn't wanna go, you're not.

- Come on, Trudy.

- I said it’s up to her.

- I don't care what you said.

- Stop it!

Gil!

Gil!

Please stop, Gil!

(fast paced music)

Gil, Gil, please stop.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Come on.

- Hey, I’m not through with you, hey!

(fast paced music)

Boy, that was quite a drive.

- Yeah, I like to drive fast.

Kinda takes your mind off of unpleasant things.

- It's good as an excuse as any, I guess.

- Want another drink?

- Don’t tell me you got a bottle in the glove compartment.

- [Gil] Better than that.

Here.

- Oh, all the comforts of home.

- Yep, be they ever so humble.

- Well, I could use one.

I thought we were going off the cliff.

- Here.

No, no.

Lots of room.

Besides, this will steady your nerves.

- Thanks.

- Here's to good health.

May you always have it.

- You're a strange guy.

- I am?

- Yeah.

- I can't figure out just why.

You know it's funny.

Out of nowhere, you walked into a bar, bought me a drink,

got into a fight, now look where we are.

- Yeah, where are we?

- You know where I am.

Sitting out here in a car by the beach

with a man I only met an hour ago.

I guess that’s not so good, is it?

- You're sorry you came?

- No.

I like you.

You think I'd come out here with you if I didn’t?

- No, I guess not.

Let’s take a walk.

- Walk?

- Yeah, down by the water.

It's a beautiful night.

- Alright.

- Come on, I'll race you to the water.

- Wait I can't run in these heels!

- Okay.

(mellow music)

(grunting)

(screams)

(laughing)

How you doing?

- I'll be out in a minute.

- That blanket going to work out alright?

Well, you don't look too bad at all.

It's a perfect fit.

- Oh, but this wool blanket.

- What the matter?

- Are you kidding?

I've got practically nothing on under this.

It scratches.

- [Gil] Take it off.

- Oh sure.

- I can see you’re going to force me to be a gentleman

and offer you my coat.

But, first you better have some of this.

- Don't you think we've had enough?

We've already fallen in the water once together.

- Sorry about what happened.

- Forget it.

I think it's kind of fun.

That is if I don't get pneumonia.

- Don't worry, that they can cure.

It’s the common cold that so baffles the medical profession.

That among other things.

Of course I could take you home.

- Don't be silly, I can't go home like this.

We'll have to stay here until my clothes dry out.

- You're so right.

- I could use that coat now.

- Alright, trade you.

Coat for the blanket.

- Come on now.

Put it around my shoulders.

- Alright.

(waves crashing)

(birds chirping)

(spooky music)

(deep growl)

(squeaking)

- Gil?

Gil!

Gil?

Gil?

(suspenseful music)

Oh, Gil.

- [Gil] You shouldn't have come, Ann.

- I had to.

What are you doing down here?

- I had another attack.

- I've got some wonderful news for you, Gil.

You remember Dr. Jacob Hoffman?

- Hoffman?

- [Ann] Yes, you remember him.

He and your father went to school together.

Dr. Buckell knows him too.

- So what?

- Well, Dr. Hoffman has been studying

radiation poisoning for a long time.

He's been able to cure a lot of people.

After you left, Dr. Buckell wrote him about you.

We got a letter from him and he's coming to help you.

Don't you realize what this means?

He maybe able to cure you.

- It's no use, Ann.

- Gil!

- I'm beyond helping.

This this I've got is different.

For days, I've been reading everything I can find.

My case is different, it's not an any of the books

I can’t be cured, Ann!

- But you can't stay locked up here for the rest of your life.

- What else can I do?

- Dr. Hoffman has offered to come here and examine you.

You won't even have to leave the house.

He'll be here this afternoon.

I can drive him up to see you, please Gil.

- Won't do any good.

- Please Gil.

You can't just give up.

You got to at least see him.

He's come all this distance.

- Oh, please Ann,

please, just let me alone.

Let me alone, please.

- Don't you want to get well and live normally again?

I, Gil all have been wondering about you,

worrying and hoping.

Please, Gil.

If you don't care about yourself,

please consider the people that do.

- Ann.

Ann.

I’ll see him.

- [Anne] Oh, Gil.

Thank you.

- You're not going to find out anything that way

Dr. Hoffman, my heart's alright.

- Now Gil, you must let us doctors

play our games now, won’t we?

We are like actors, you know.

We like to show off.

- It's all very well for you to joke about it.

It's not very funny to me.

I thought you're going to help me.

- I hope to Gil.

From what I know of your case,

things are not as bad as you have feared.

- We analyzed the isotope you were working on, Gil.

Dr. Hoffman thinks he maybe able to cure you.

- Yeah, I think there's definite hope.

- Do you really mean it?

- Oh, I wouldn't mislead you about a thing like that.

- I can't tell you how much it would mean for me

to get well, Dr. Hoffman.

For weeks, I've been locked up in this mausoleum

unable to go out anytime except at night.

Afraid of the sun and these horrible attacks.

I'll do anything, anything to get well.

- [Jacob] Anything?

- [Gil] Yes, yes, anything.

- Alright then.

After a few days of preliminary observation here at the house,

we shall take you to my hospital back east.

- But how?

I can’t go out in the sun, not even for a little while.

- Oh, we'll make arrangements.

But, meanwhile you’re not to leave this house.

Not under any circumstances.

- Not even at night?

- Not even at night.

After what happened last evening,

there's too much risk.

No doubt you are aware

that the transformation came this time

after much shorter exposure to the sun than the first time.

- Yes, I know.

- Now this because

the skin gets more sensitive as time goes on.

If there should be a next time,

you might find that it takes

only a very brief exposure to the sun to change you.

You might also find that it takes much longer

to change you back.

- So no more wandering at night, my boy.

And no more drinking.

We'll get to the hospital as soon as possible.

Without even so much as much as a goodbye, he jumped in his car and drove off.

I've been out with some odd ones in my time

but he sure takes the cake.

He didn't even bother to wake me up.

- How'd you finally get back to town?

- I hitchhiked.

And let me tell me you that was no fun either.

I must've been standing there for nearly half an hour,

watching car, after car go by.

Most of them didn't even bother to look at me.

I could've been standing there with my clothes off

and they wouldn't even slow down.

Finally I managed to flag down an old guy in a truck.

Easy to see what was on his mind.

But after night I'm cured.

I’m going to stick with guys I know.

- Double bourbon, please.

- Remember me, honey?

- Believe me, Trudy, I-

- I want to see you outside.

- Come on, man.

- Wait a minute, hey!

Cut it out!

Alright, hey!

(upbeat jazz music)

- [Trudy] Stop!

That's enough!

You don't have to kill him.

Look at his face.

Oh, give me a hand.

- [George] Where are you taking him?

- [Trudy] I'll take him to a hospital.

That's what I'm going to do.

- [George] A hospital?

- [Trudy] I can't leave him here.

You guys have done such a job on him, we can't send him home.

- [George] Come on, let's get out of here.

- Come on, help me!

Okay honey, just hold on.

- You.

- Yes.

- Where am I?

- My place.

- [Gil] It's your place?

- Don't worry, they're not here.

We're alone.

Here drink some of this.

- [Gil] Thanks.

- How are you feeling?

- Oh, brother.

No don't!

Don’t open the curtain.

You’ll let the sunlight in.

- So what?

- Well, it's just sunlight, it's bad for my eyes.

- Sorry.

- Yeah, as a matter of fact,

I've been going to doctor for some treatment.

- Then make yourself at home.

Relax.

- Thanks.

I'll go home right after dark.

It's just, well, you know,

the doctor advised me to stay out of the sun.

- Who's complaining?

You can stay longer if you want.

- Thanks.

(knocking on door)

- It's alright, it's probably Lucy.

She's always trying to borrow something.

Better take it easy.

You don't look so hot.

- I don't feel so hot.

- Hello Trudy.

Just thought I'd drop around to see how you were,

after the little excitement last night.

So you were gonna take him a hospital, huh?

He's been here all night.

- And what if he has?

That's my business.

- And mine!

- Why you low, dirty-

We should have finished you off last night.

Alright, mister, step outside.

- George, honey, I what you're thinking

but nothing happened here last night.

I just decided to bring him home instead of the hospital.

Nothing wrong with that.

- No, of course not, Trudy.

Nothing wrong with that and a lot of other things you do.

- Look, I can explain--

- Shut up.

- He can't go out in the daylight, George.

His eyes--

- Knock it off.

- You're making a big mistake here.

- Okay, let's go.

Not that way.

Out the back.

I'll talk to you later.

- [Gil] Hey, wait a minute.

- Let's go.

- [Gil] Can't we talk this over?

- Move!

Alright.

(Gil faintly growls)

(people screaming)

(dog barking)

(people screaming)

(dog whines)

(suspenseful music)

- I wonder if we should call the police.

He's been gone for so long.

- No, we must wait.

It's all we can do.

- That must be Gil. I’ll let him in.

- [Jacob] No!

(screams)

(dramatic music)

(Ann sobbing)

- I couldn't help myself, Dr. Buckell.

- It wasn't your fault, Gil.

He forced you out with a gun.

- Nevertheless, I committed a murder.

I murdered somebody!

- [Jacob] You’ve got to try

to find yourself.

- Look Gil, we can prove it's self defense.

- You don't seem to understand.

No matter what we prove, it doesn’t alter the fact

that I wanted to kill him.

I've devoted my life to science.

Do you see what's happened?

What good has it done me?

What chance have I got to fight?

Why should I be the one?

Can you answer me that?

Why me?

Why should I be the one picked up with it?

Please tell me why!

Doctor, I swear, it shouldn't have been me.

- Gil. - Gil, it's alright.

- Did you hear what happened? - I heard something on the radio.

(Gil sobbing)

(Gil yelling)

- Paranoia.

We will do for you anything.

- I'm not a psychiatrist but.

- But after these circumstances.

Dr. Gil is a scientist.

- Yeah, good scientist even bordering on a genius.

But there is a very fine line there

and any little thing can push him over it.

(knocking on door)

- [Frederick] I'll go, Ann.

- No, I think I better.

Don't worry, we'll take care of everything.

Who is it?

- [Police] I'm a police officer, open up.

- What do you want?

- [Police] I must speak to Gilbert McKenna.

- Gil?

- Yes?

- Gil. - Ann, please.

Don't make it any more harder for me.

- No, please don't go.

- There's nothing anybody can do.

- [Fredrick] Have you a warrant of his arrest? - Gil!

Gil!

(dramatic music)

(tires screeching)

- Well, I hope you're both satisfied.

He’s made a nice clean break.

- He has?

- It's not what I would have wished him.

- And he ran over one of my men in the process.

Jacobs, call the state police give 'em a full description.

- Right. - And get an ambulance up here

right away.

He's a dangerous man.

- He's only dangerous because he is a sick man.

- Yeah, they all are.

- Oh, you don't understand.

- I understand he ran over one my men.

Well, I’ve got to get back to headquarters.

- As his doctor, mind if go with you?

- It's alright.

- I'll get my medical case.

You want to come?

- Nope, I got to try it for lone chance.

See if I can find him before they do.

- Let me go with you.

- No, I think you better come with me.

They have to bring him in by force.

He might need all the help we can give him.

- He's right.

I don't stand much of a chance

against the entire police force.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(tires screeching)

(phone ringing)

- Lieutenant Peterson's office.

Been an accident?

Where?

Did they get him?

Mmhm, right.

Well, did anyone see him?

Okay.

Thank you.

Hey, lieutenant, McKenna had an accident.

- [Lt. Peterson] What?

- [Police] Yeah, he ran into a truck at an intersection.

- [Lt. Peterson] Did they get him?

- No. - No?

- But you know how it is.

A lot of people milling around.

They didn't even know who's car it was

until they checked the registration.

- But didn't they try to stop him?

- He wasn't there.

Somebody said they saw him running away from the accident.

I guess he wasn't even hurt.

- Well, get all the extra men you need

and start setting up roadblocks around this city.

He won't get far.

(suspenseful music)

- Yeah.

Mmhmm.

Good.

Well, you let me if anything more happens.

That was another report on your friend.

Well, let's see.

He was first reported buying gas just about here.

Then somebody saw him right here.

That last report places him just about here.

(faint brooding music)

- I don't know what’s holding those guys up.

We should've had a report by now.

- Perhaps he managed to slip through your net.

- Not a chance.

Besides, he wouldn't go out in daylight.

From what you told me, daylight's

what causes these spells of his.

- Yeah, it's true.

- Well, it's only a matter of time.

The whole city has been alerted.

- Extra, extra!

Read all about it!

Extra, extra!

Read all about it!

Weird killer still at large.

- Thanks, son.

- Extra, extra!

Read all about it! - Boy, I'll take one too.

- Extra, extra!

Read all about it!

- [Radio Announcer] Another night of fear and apprehension

for all of us unless the search can reveal the monster.

- [Suzy] Hello, mommy.

- Hi, darling.

Here, give me a kiss.

How was school today?

- Terrible.

I like Kindergarten better.

They make us work too hard this year.

Mommy, can I have a glass of milk?

- Well, of course darling.

I'll get a glass.

Let me pour it for you, honey.

- I wanna pour it myself.

- Okay.

- [Radio Announcer] We interrupt this broadcast

for an urgent police bulletin.

The latest news.

The mad killer shows that the entire police force

has been alerted and mobilized into searching parties.

Every effort is being made to discover his hiding place.

Since late last night, special squads have been on duty

patrolling the streets while extra men have been alerted

- Here you're through? - for the entire

Los Angeles area. - Yes, I'm going out, mommy.

- [Radio Announcer] We ask your cooperation.

- Oh darling, you better stay inside today.

- Mom, I wanna play outside.

It's nice and sunny.

(phone ringing)

- [Radio Announcer] Now, believed to be homicidal.

- Look, you be a good girl and don’t go outside.

Hello?

Oh hello, Grace

Oh no, I was just getting supper.

Suzy!

- And above all, keep calm.

And now we return you once again to the King Sisters.

Hey, just between us, what's the latest on this?

- Well all we is he's somewhere in the city.

- And he's really dangerous, huh?

Homicidal?

- He's killed twice.

He'll do it again.

- Well, we'll help all we can

but boy, you got a tough one on your hands.

- It's a big city but we do know one thing.

He's in a dark hole somewhere out of the sun.

(wood rattling and creaking)

And as far a we could figure, he must be hiding

somewhere in the Central Los Angeles area.

No, I doubt it, we blocked all the roads last night.

He isn't likely to move about in the daylight.

But keep checking with us.

That's right, goodbye.

Well, that jives with what you told me, doesn't it?

- Yeah, he would have to stay inside during daylight hours.

- I can't bear to think of him out there alone.

Hiding, so frightened.

- He's frightened?

Everybody in town's frightened.

They've locked themselves in their houses.

You know, TV and radio is making a big deal out of this.

Warning parents not to let the children go out alone

till he’s apprehended.

Just how dangerous is he, doctor?

- But you shouldn't be out here if you're sick, mister.

You should go to a doctor.

- No, I--

- A doctor would would make you well

and he wouldn't hurt you much.

One time I went to a doctor, he stabbed me with a needle.

It didn't hurt much.

- I can't go to a doctor.

I can't leave here.

- [Suzy] Why not?

- Because the sun's bad for me.

- Oh no, the sun is good for you.

One time I had a cold,

and mommy made me sit in the sun all day

and it made me well.

And you should eat a lot too.

That's what mommy says.

Aren't you hungry?

- Hungry?

- Would you like me to bring you some cookies?

I love cookies.

Mommy always keeps them in the kitchen.

I know where they are.

Would you like me to bring you some?

- You’d do that for me?

- [Suzy] Yes.

- Then, you want to help me?

- Yes.

- Then you mustn't tell anybody that I'm here.

- Not even mommy?

- Not even mommy.

We've got to keep it a secret.

- Okay, I won't tell anybody.

Hello, mommy.

- Hi dear, you shouldn't have gone out

when I told you not to.

- What are you up to now?

- I just want some cookies.

- Well now Suzy, you know it's almost supper time.

- But I'm not gonna eat them now.

- Well, then leave them alone.

You can have them for dessert.

Suzy, what's gotten in to you today?

You're not usually this bad.

- I want some cookies.

- You can have them for dessert.

I told you that.

- But I want some now.

- But you can't have them now.

It's too close to supper.

- I want cookies.

- Oh darling, come here.

What's the matter?

- They're for my friend.

- What friend?

- My new friend.

- Your new friend?

Who is this new friend of yours?

- It's a secret, I can't tell.

- Oh Suzy, you don't expect me to believe that, do you?

- It's true, it's true.

He's traveling all alone and he's sick and hungry.

And I promised to bring to him some cookies.

- Out where?

- I can't tell, it's a secret.

- Suzy, you must tell me.

- No, I can't.

- Suzy, listen to me carefully.

Who is this new friend of yours?

Is he a man?

A big grown up man like your daddy?

Suzy, where is he?

Where is he hiding?

Suzy, you've got to tell me, where is he hiding?

- He's in the-

- He's where?

Where is he?

- The shack.

- The shack!

- No mommy, no!

You mustn’t tell!

- Hello operator. - No mommy, no.

- Can you please hurry.

Hello, police.

I think I know where that man is hiding.

Suzy!

(mellow suspenseful music)

- Excuse me, lieutenant.

We just got a call from a woman out near the oil fields.

I think this could be the break we've been waiting for.

- You mean she knows where he is?

- She thinks so.

He may be hiding in a shack out near her house.

I've already alerted the squad in that area.

- Good, let's get out there.

- Suzy, Suzy!

Where are you, darling?

Suzy!

Where are you?

Suzy!

Suzy?

Suzy!

Where have you gone?

Suzy!

(police siren wailing)

My baby's in there.

My god!

Please, hurry.

- [Police] Don't worry ma'am.

We're doing everything we can.

Perhaps you should cry.

The rest of us can only hope that his life is not wasted.
