Now, why don't you go upstairs and put your dress on, dear? 34 00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:22,210 Because Daddy's going to be home any minute. Come here. 35 00:03:22,990 --> 00:03:23,990 No, 36 00:03:24,210 --> 00:03:28,710 no. How stupid of me. Anne would be almost 14 by now, wouldn't she? 37 00:03:29,770 --> 00:03:32,190 Is that why you're here, Reverend? Is it about Anne? 38 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,920 As a matter of fact, it is. 39 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,260 Is there some problem? 40 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,860 No, no, it's purely a personal matter, which, if you don't mind, I should 41 00:03:39,860 --> 00:03:41,260 prefer to discuss with your husband. 42 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,240 Yes, of course. 43 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,240 You see, I was chaplain at the Seabrook State Prison in the Smokies many years 44 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,940 ago, and I had occasion to know your adopted daughter's real father before 45 00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:53,620 that wretched man's unhappy death. 46 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:12,800 You know the stores close early on Saturday, dear. I'm sorry. Your dress is 47 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,459 on your bed. 48 00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:14,780 Oh, why can't I go like this? Anne. 49 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,420 All right, Mother. And don't shout. Your father has a visitor in his office. Who 50 00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:19,119 is it? 51 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,480 No one you know. Go in. 52 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,760 What? 53 00:04:23,220 --> 00:04:24,220 What, my office? 54 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,460 Your visitor is a Reverend Locke. 55 00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:28,220 Reverend? What did I do now? 56 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Reverend Locke? 57 00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,240 Charming family, Ranger Mallory. Oh, so charming, eh? 58 00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:42,470 I cannot tell you how pleased I am both to meet you and to find out that the 59 00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:46,610 daughter of that unfortunate man is in such loving hands. Excuse me. 60 00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:51,970 She's upstairs right now and she's going out in a few minutes. I think my wife 61 00:04:51,970 --> 00:04:55,970 explained to her. Yes, yes, yes. And since the child remembers nothing of the 62 00:04:55,970 --> 00:05:00,590 past, I can see how important it is to both of you that she continue to believe 63 00:05:00,590 --> 00:05:01,990 your little fabrication. 64 00:05:02,890 --> 00:05:07,130 that she was adopted by you at the age of three after the peaceful and entirely 65 00:05:07,130 --> 00:05:10,050 normal demise of her mother and her father. 66 00:05:11,410 --> 00:05:16,090 I tell you, it's remarkable that a child of such a tragedy should be so happy and 67 00:05:16,090 --> 00:05:17,090 so normal. 68 00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:19,290 Why? 69 00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:22,770 Well, your wife did mention a few visits to a Dr. Holt. 70 00:05:24,170 --> 00:05:26,090 Well, that had to do with her schoolwork. 71 00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:31,390 I guess my wife explained that, too. Yes, but a psychiatrist? 72 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,620 Just because of some minor anxiety or a future scholarship? 73 00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:38,720 Or perhaps there was something more? 74 00:05:39,980 --> 00:05:44,340 Look, Reverend, this is a kind of a personal matter. Oh, it's a minor, 75 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,360 minor, minor. No. 76 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:50,520 Anne is a perfectly normal child. She has a brilliant mind, very brilliant. 77 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,400 She has a desire to excel in everything she does. 78 00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:58,120 But she blames herself if she's not 100% perfect in everything. 79 00:05:58,500 --> 00:05:59,500 Yes. 80 00:06:00,010 --> 00:06:05,250 She demands too much of herself, but Dr. Holt says that these are symptoms of 81 00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:06,410 things that are essentially good. 82 00:06:06,990 --> 00:06:10,470 Your vehemence in her defense is very touching, Mr. Mallory. 83 00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:14,850 Still, it must be a source of great worry to you, the thought that this 84 00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:17,910 child might turn out to be like her father. 85 00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:21,110 Oh, that's a stupid thing to say. 86 00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:26,450 Perhaps, but then, you see, I happen to know a good deal about psychiatry. It's 87 00:06:26,450 --> 00:06:28,550 very useful in my work. 88 00:06:29,150 --> 00:06:33,210 And I'm sure Dr. Holt must have warned you of the extreme danger to a child, 89 00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:37,590 especially such an emotional child, if she were to learn the truth about her 90 00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:39,510 real parents and how they died. 91 00:06:40,810 --> 00:06:47,150 But, Reverend, I don't like your manner for a clergyman, you... Ah, but then you 92 00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:50,110 see, I am not really a clergyman. 93 00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:54,250 No, actually, 94 00:06:55,330 --> 00:06:56,610 I am a businessman. 95 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,340 And I am here on a matter of business. 96 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:02,840 What business? 97 00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:05,260 Blackmail. 98 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,760 I don't know what stupid idea you've got in your head. 99 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,340 I think the state police will know what to do with you. 100 00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:17,460 Please, don't make the mistake of thinking I am stupid, Mr. Mallory. 101 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,760 Blackmail is my profession. 102 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,560 You surely don't think I would have come here like this unless I'd taken some 103 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,560 precautions first. 104 00:07:25,130 --> 00:07:28,470 I think perhaps I'd better introduce you to my associate before you do anything 105 00:07:28,470 --> 00:07:29,870 rash. Your associate? 106 00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:34,930 There is, as you know, a telephone booth in the picnic area at Lookout Point, 107 00:07:35,070 --> 00:07:36,610 which is visible from this window. 108 00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:39,130 I shall now dial that booth. 109 00:07:39,550 --> 00:07:44,850 When it rings, then my associate, Mr. Parker, will emerge from the booth, 110 00:07:45,150 --> 00:07:51,250 signal twice toward us, and then disappear into the forest. 111 00:08:02,730 --> 00:08:03,730 You see? 112 00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:08,890 You haven't the faintest idea what he looks like. No way to find him. 113 00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:10,870 And he has his instructions. 114 00:08:11,770 --> 00:08:17,810 Now, if anything should happen to me, then he will do very quietly and 115 00:08:17,810 --> 00:08:18,810 anonymously. 116 00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:23,930 He will do what I shall be forced to do unless you and I can come to an 117 00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:24,930 understanding. 118 00:08:25,310 --> 00:08:29,190 Now, shall we have our little chat? 119 00:08:38,099 --> 00:08:40,460 $6,000 by Monday night. 120 00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:43,659 $6,000? 121 00:08:44,059 --> 00:08:48,560 Oh, I realize you're a little shocked, but it's really not so terrible as all 122 00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,940 that. See, I happen to know that you have a savings account for the children, 123 00:08:53,060 --> 00:08:57,700 and any small difference in the amount can be made up with a bank loan, using 124 00:08:57,700 --> 00:08:58,800 this house as security. 125 00:09:00,380 --> 00:09:01,380 What can you do? 126 00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:06,960 You can either call the police, or you could kill me. 127 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:12,640 But either way, you will utterly destroy your precious little Anne. 128 00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:15,060 Because there's always Mr. Parker. 129 00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:17,840 He's an unhappy young man. 130 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,400 He's almost vicious. 131 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,740 I'm afraid he might take a certain pleasure in telling the child that her 132 00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:31,680 real father bludgeoned her mother to death in a drunken rage and then hanged 133 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:32,680 himself. 134 00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:34,940 I can hear him now. 135 00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:36,740 Little girl. 136 00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:39,770 Your father was a murderer and a suicide. 137 00:09:40,510 --> 00:09:42,790 To me, it is some of him in you. 138 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:49,850 All her life, she'll wonder, am I insane like my real daddy was?

Hurry. 153 00:10:33,150 --> 00:10:36,070 Next time, when you're not in such a hurry, perhaps we can have a little talk 154 00:10:36,070 --> 00:10:37,330 about science. 155 00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:39,270 I hear you're a very brilliant student. 156 00:10:42,030 --> 00:10:43,030 Goodbye, Daddy. 157 00:10:44,190 --> 00:10:45,190 Goodbye, 158 00:10:46,610 --> 00:10:47,770 Reverend.

That kind of blackmail invariably winds up in prison. 167 00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:19,960 It's against my principles, Mr. Mallory. 168 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,240 Once I receive the money, Mr. Parker and I will move on to fresher fields out of 169 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,239 your life forever. 170 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,240 I see. 171 00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:29,780 I take your word for that, huh? 172 00:11:31,420 --> 00:11:32,420 Unfortunately. 173 00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:33,780 Well, I'm not going to. 174 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,520 I'm not going to take your word for anything, and I'm going to see she's 175 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,120 protected from you and your associate forever. 176 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,800 Don't be naive, Mr. Mallory. What about her school friends, her playmates, her 177 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,920 neighbors?
