Jj

This is the inner sanctum.

A strange, fantastic world

controlled by a mass of living,

pulsating flesh.

The mind

it destroys, distorts,

creates monsters.

Commits murder.

Yes

even you, without knowing...

Can commit murder.

Jj

Sleep.

Sleep.

Relax

you're tired

very tired.

Relax

sleep.

She's asleep now, doctor.

Listen to me

listen closely.

You can speak.

You can speak.

You will speak.

Speak.

Frank

she spoke!

She said something.

Who is frank?

He's no good.

I'm not interested in his character.

Who is he?

Marion fell in love with him.

He was a bad influence

we forced them to separate.

She took the automobile

they said she drank.

Marion never drank.

And then there was the accident.

From then on, she hasn't said a word.

She's a victim of voluntary paralysis.

Get her and the boy together, and I'm sure she'll soon speak.

But I told you he was no good.

He's a bad influence

perhaps he is,

but at the moment, he's the only cure.

It seems impossible.

Nothing is impossible where the mind is concerned.

This girl loves that boy.

Let her settle her own problems.

Don't you see that in order to hurt you she's hurt herself?

You're very fortunate.

I've known cases, many of them,

one quite recently,

where the girl despised her mother,

wanted to kill her

she couldn't, so...

She killed herself instead

you might call that murder indirectly.

Well, this is a milder form.

I'd advise you to bring them together.

All right, Marion, wake up.

How do you feel, Marion?

Come on, dear.

I'll expect to hear from you sometime next week.

Oh, it's all right.

It's all right.

Neurology.

Neurology.

The results are beyond imagination.

To penetrate man's mind intrigues me more and more.

Even after eight years of practice,

it's still fascinating.

And there's satisfaction in being successful.

Successful.

Yes, with everyone but myself.

My personal life is a failure.

After two years of marriage to Maria, it's no go.

We were terribly in love from the moment we met.

At least, I was.

She certainly fooled me

so beautiful.

She wore a perfect mask.

I couldn't see beyond it.

Dr. Mark Steele, eminent neurologist,

can't read his own wife's mind.

Everybody else could.

Everybody else did.

Even Stella knows it.

She probably knew it the day I married Maria.

Stella's a fine person.

She's not only a nurse,

she's my co-worker and confidante.

I depend on her more and more.

500

how I wish the hands would never move.

My work keeps me occupied, I don't think of myself.

Now I've got to go home to her.

I dread it.

But I must face it

it's bad to run away from things you fear.

They mustn't be allowed to beat you.

Good night, doctor.

See you in the morning.

Her grip is so firm, her hand so cool,

as if she wanted to tell me something.

Jd

Where is she, Bryant?

Uh, Mrs. Steele left word that she would be detained

dining alone.

Large table, six empty chairs.

One man.

No, I'm not alone.

She keeps staring at me all the time

I never understood the modern school of painting.

It was a joke to me.

But now I begin to respect the man for whom she sat.

He has caught one thing in Maria

that she was able to hide from me.

Those eyes.

Mean eyes, selfish.

They really portray her soul.

Yes?

Dr. Steele?

What's wrong?

Why, nothing, uh...

I merely just called to discuss that Jennings case.

I thought we'd better...

Why should anything be wrong?

Well, it's 3:00, doctor.

Are you sure you're all right?

Of course I'm all right.

Oh, I had no idea it was so late, Stella.

L... I'm sorry.

I'll see you in the morning.

Goodbye.

For hours I've been sitting here,

never conscious of the time,

and still Maria hasn't returned.

I hate her!

Maria

oh, it's you.

What are you doing, spying on me?

Well, why don't you say something?

Spying, always spying.

Maria, I want to talk to you.

You must listen to reason.

Hm, I know just what you're going to say.

You poor fool, do you think I'm stupid?

Stop it.

Stop it!

Stop it! Take your hands off me!

Maria, we can't go on like this.

You'd like to get away from me, wouldn't you?

But you can't.

I like my title.

A doctor's wife.

I have money, position,

and there's nothing you can do about it.

No, doctor,

there's nothing you can do.

I'm not so sure

not murder, doctor.

You haven't the courage.

I wonder.

Good morning, doctor.

Morning, Stella.

I'm sorry about that call last night.

I didn't realize that it was so late.

Oh, I understand.

There's something that I have to

talk to you about, Stella.

I had another row with my wife last night.

Why are you telling me this?

Because

well, for the first time,

Maria made me realize that

oh, Stella, we're adult.

This business of hiding the truth from one another,

that's not being honest.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

No, I... I guess there isn't.

Good afternoon, doctor

I didn't expect you so soon.

Bryant, where is Mrs. Steele?

I don't know, sir.

Where is she?!

Mrs. Steele said something, I believe,

about going away for the weekend.

I'm sorry, Bryant.

That's all right, sir, I understand.

Jj

Mark!

What are you doing here so early?

Oh, just look at yourself.

This is a fine way to start the week.

The week?

Is this Monday?

Of course it is.

Monday, and I...

I don't even remember coming here.

Mark, are you ill?

I don't know

something must be wrong.

I remember leaving the house Saturday afternoon.

You... you've got to help me.

I... I guess I must be ill.

Please don't worry, Mark.

We'll work this out

now, you sit right down there,

and I'll get you something to fix you up.

Go on, sit down.

Saturday afternoon.

Sunday.

Where was I?

I've got to recall.

I left the house,

got into the car,

I drove

drove

here, take this, it'll help you.

Oh, no, thanks, Stella,

I never use them

Maria?

Must be

nothing like this ever happened before.

We had an argument and...

Stella, do you know that

I couldn't even tie my own shoelaces?

Bryant had to do it for me.

And now all this

well, I'm calling off your appointments

for this morning.

You're going to the gym.

A good rub and a shower will do you good.

No, Stella, that won't be necessary.

I'll be all right.

Thanks

Mark, there are two men outside.

Detectives

detectives”?

Yes, and I don't think it's a professional call.

Well, we'll soon see.

Yes, gentlemen?

We'd like to see you alone, doctor.

I'm sorry, but miss Madden is always present

at my interviews.

Okay.

When did you last see your wife?

What are you talking about?

- Murder. - Your wife's been killed.

Jj

Where is she?

When did it happen?

At your lodge, some time during the weekend.

Better come along with us, identify the body.

I'll be right with you.

Won't you be seated?

Fxcuse me.

Mark

you mustn't say a word.

You were with me Saturday and Sunday.

That's why Stella is so worried.

I have no alibi

don't even know where I was.

It's horrible

oh, this whole thing, it's ridiculous, there's...

Please do as I say.

We'll talk about it later.

All right, Stella.

She's in the house, doc.

Any statement to make, doc?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm inspector gregg, doctor

where is she?

She's in the bedroom.

Must have been quite a struggle.

Hello, doc.

You don't remember me.

No

I worked at the clinic.

Killed with a blunt instrument.

Skull crushed.

Yeah, acid.

Maria's face... it's horrible.

I can't recognize her.

Beautiful Maria.

Her mask destroyed.

She must have suffered terribly.

A button

doctor?

I hope you'll excuse me for questioning you

at this time, but it's important.

Did she have any enemies that you know of?

Well, no.

There was a man with her.

The gas attendant down the way gave us his description.

Do you know who he was?

- I have no idea. - Oh...

The description resembles you.

Pretty messy throwing acid in a woman's face

then killing her.

Motive could be jealousy.

What do you think, doctor?

I wasn't jealous of my wife!

No offense, doctor,

but under the circumstances,

wife, strange man, lodge...

If you want me for any further questioning,

you'll find me at my office.

Stella, who?

Who could have committed such a terrible crime?

Her face!

If the motive was robbery, why the acid?

No criminal would use

no, only a person with a distorted mind

could have done such a thing.

The inspector said something about jealousy.

Stella, I know he thinks I did it

but that's impossible.

I found this near the body.

Well, why didn't you give it to the police?

Oh, I don't know.

I guess I forgot in the excitement.

Wait a minute

this might reveal something.

Jj

So that's where I'd been

Saturday and Sunday.

The debacle in the cabin.

I killed Maria

Mark

Mark

it's so clear now.

The shoelaces

my lapse of memory.

Maria drove me to it.

My subconscious had rebelled.

Stella... l killed Maria.

Call the police.

You can't, Mark, you can't.

You can't condemn yourself without a trial.

You've got to remember.

Think, Mark, think.

Where did you go when you left the house Saturday?

I can't remember

I can't remember

those two days are a total blank.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Yes

you've

oh, but that's impossible.

What happened, Mark?

They found the man who murdered Maria.

Yes, inspector.

I'll be right down.

Goodbye.

Jj

I'm so happy.

It doesn't seem true.

They've captured the man.

To think that I had almost condemned myself.

It's such a relief

but the button,

how did it get there?

So that's the accused man

Robert duval, the architect.

Looks like the man I saw Maria kiss that night in the car.

His features are strong and clean.

He doesn't look at all like a criminal.

It's hard to believe

Dr. Steele, you've got to believe me,

I didn't kill Maria.

I loved her

Maria and I were very much in love

with each other, I thought.

There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do for her.

Then, suddenly she began to lie, to lead me on.

She said that she was going to leave you.

I believed her

and then, out at the cabin,

it turned out to be another one of her lies.

She admitted that she loved me,

but she refused to give up her security,

her position in society.

She was drunk.

We quarreled, and I left.

And that was the last I saw of her.

After that, I drove all night.

The police didn't believe me.

I... I had no proof.

They won't give me a chance, Dr. Steele.

You've got to help me.

I believe you.

Duval, as an individual, I'm not interested in you.

But as a human being, I feel it my duty to help you.

All right, duval.

I agree with you, doctor.

I don't think duval is guilty, either.

You know what I think?

What?

I think you killed your wife.

How could you do it?

Maria was so beautiful

you robbed her of her life.

You knew my wife?

Now, doctor, how would I know your wife?

I'm sorry, but he's busy.

You'll have to make an appointment.

- I've got to see him. - I'll call you when he's free.

Please, if you give me your number, Mrs. duval,

perhaps tomorrow.

Never mind

are you Dr. Steele?

This is Mrs. duval, doctor.

I told her you were busy, that I'd make an appointment.

Doctor, I've got to see you.

Why, of course.

Now, Mrs. duval.

Dr. Steele, I had to talk to you.

There was...

That'll be all, miss Madden.

I'll ring if I need you.

Doctor, you've got to help my husband.

He told me he talked to you.

He isn't guilty, I know he isn't

I swear it

I had to talk to someone.

I'm alone

you don't know what it means to.

(Go on now.

Tell me all about yourself.

We'd been married happily ten years.

Then he came to me one day and told me

he didn't love me anymore.

There was a woman.

He wouldn't tell me who she was.

He wanted to marry her.

I couldn't give him up, Dr. Steele.

I thought he'd get over it.

He didn't

he started out of the house, I ran after him.

When I got to the head of the stairs, I stumbled.

When I woke up, I was...

In the hospital, paralyzed.

I've been this way for a year now.

Bob and I were miserable

Saturday, we talked things over.

He told me he was going to the woman.

Dr. Willard, my physician, had told me the day before

I wouldn't walk again.

I didn't want to ruin Bob's life,

having to wheel me around like a baby.

So I told him he could do as he pleased.

Then he came over and kissed me,

for the first time in a long while.

He left and

the next thing I knew, he'd been accused of murder.

Oh, Dr. Steele, you've got to help us.

When this is all over, we'll be happy again.

Just the two of us.

Oh, I know I'm not as beautiful as your wife, but...

Mrs. duval, I understand what you've been through.

And I promise that I'll do everything

in my power to help you.

Dr. Steele, you don't know what he means to me

he's all I've got.

I know

you have my word.

Thank you, Dr. Steele.

I'll call you in a day or two.

Miss Madden

jj

It was a pure case of circumstantial evidence.

Duval didn't have a chance.

There are only two of us.

I'm certain he's innocent

that leaves me the guilty one.

Not murder.

You haven't the courage.

I didn't kill Maria.

Not murder.

I didn't kill Maria.

Not murder. I didn't kill Maria.

- Not murder. - I didn't kill Maria.

- Not murder. - I didn't kill Maria.

- Not murder. - I didn't kill Maria!

- Not murder. - I didn't kill Maria.

I didn't kill Maria.

I didn't kill Maria. You haven't the courage.

Not murder. I didn't kill Maria.

I didn't kill Maria! I didn't, I didn't kill Maria!

Stop it!

Stop it!

What's the matter, doctor?

Nerves or conscience?

What are you doing here?

Oh, I had a hunch.

I believe if you follow a guilty man long enough,

no matter how he tries, or where he hides,

he's bound to break.

Why don't you confess?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, you don't, huh?

You've always experimented with life, doctor.

You've gone beyond life, into the brain..

The subconscious.

Pretty dangerous invading the unknown.

You learn strange things.

You think of strange things.

I understand you even, uh, do.

Exactly what do you mean?

An innocent man is going to die, doctor.

Oh, you'll confess sooner or later,

because you can't escape your conscience.

Already, it's beginning to bother you.

Why don't you confess now, hmm?

You're mad

mad? No.

No, doctor.

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps you are?

Ah, no.

Everybody else is.

That's what all of you think.

You know, doctor, it isn't death that frightens men.

It's waiting.

Anticipation.

Your conscience

haunting you in your sleep,

in your dreams.

(Get out!

It's so easy.

Just a few little words.

That's all it'd take

(get out!

Jj

Sorry, doctor.

Was it expensive?

Must be your nerves.

I'd check that

I've got to find out.

Self-hypnosis.

Yes

that's the only way.

I'll attempt to put myself under.

If I succeed, you start the recorder,

then question me about what happened

from Saturday afternoon on.

Keep repeating and repeating

until I reply.

Understand?

Relax.

Relax

I'm tired

very tired.

My eyes are getting heavy.

I'm going to sleep.

Going to...

Think, Mark, think.

You're completely relaxed.

It's all so clear

think now, Mark.

You drove

then what happened?

Who are you?

Inspector gregg. You must have heard of me

hasn't the doctor told you?

Please, he's asleep.

Using his own medicine?

He didn't do it

please believe me, we have proof.

Oh.

Wait a minute, I'll wake him.

You're sending an innocent man to the chair.

You know the doctor killed his wife

you know how he hated her.

You like him, don't you?

But you'll never be happy with him.

You'll despise him after a while,

and duval will always loom up before you.

Tell me what you know.

He's innocent, I know he is.

Mark, wake up. Mark!

What are you doing here?

How did you get in?

He's trying to blame you.

He wants me to help him.

Don't try to fight it, doctor.

It has to come

don't listen to him, Mark.

You didn't do it

you told me so yourself.

It's on the recording.

I told you what happened last Saturday and Sunday?

Yes

I got into the car,

drove directly fo the lodge.

I found Maria there.

She was alone.

She was drunk.

She accused me of following her.

We argued.

I pushed her away, ran out.

As I got into my car, through the rearview mirror,

I saw duval

enter the house.

He must have hidden behind the tree

when he first heard my approach.

Disgusted, I drove back to my office,

took a sedative, a little too strong.

I began to fall asleep then...

Very interesting.

What does it prove?

You saw the condition he was in

when he made the recording.

He hypnotized himself.

I helped him.

Maybe you helped him get rid of his wife.

Leave her out of this, or I'll

what, kill me?

No, that isn't the solution.

Why didn't you tell me you were at the lodge?

I didn't know it

amnesia, doctor?

Yes, I found him here, asleep, the next morning.

Very convenient, but hardly probable.

However this interests me.

You'd call that the subconscious voice,

hmm, doctor?

Does it always tell the truth?

Invariably.

You see, doctor, I disagree with you, and I'll tell you why.

You don't want to die,

for more reasons than one.

I believe in the will to live, and you want to live.

You're well-trained, doctor.

I also believe you can control the subconscious.

No, I'm afraid you haven't got a chance.

Oh, uh, I owe you a vote of thanks, though.

You're big game, doctor.

Makes the chase interesting.

He's mad.

Perhaps, but not without reason.

But the record

I know

but the will to live,

it might be strong enough to control the subconscious.

Stella, I'm... I'm afraid he may be right.

Duval, you've been hiding something from me.

You've got to tell me the truth.

Everything, everything that you know.

How did you meet Maria?

What were the circumstances?

All right.

I'd been rather successful.

Then I began to gamble.

I lost everything, everything I'd built up.

Fifteen years of success went overnight.

Then I met Maria

I didn't pay much attention to her

until your name was mentioned.

Then it suddenly dawned on me how successful you'd been.

Go ahead.

Maria didn't mean anything to me.

I was desperate for money.

I'd have done anything.

We went out together a few times,

and then when I was sure of her,

I told her I was in trouble.

It wasn't hard

in a few months she'd given me $10,000.

I thought after I got the money that I'd leave her,

but it wasn't that simple.

She got under my skin.

I kept away from her for a few days,

and then I realized I loved her.

Did you return the money?

Half of it

what about the rest?

How about the rest?!

Jj

He is obviously shielding someone.

But who?

His wife?

"Governor denies duval reprieve.

Duval must die"

Stella.

Here

here now

Jj

I'm sorry, I...

Stella, you've been working too hard.

You must take a rest

I don't want to go away.

I want to be with you.

We'll be together the rest of our lives if

oh, you need a rest.

You've been doing too much.

You've been my nurse, secretary,

bookkeeper, that is too much.

Now, please.

Call a girl to take care of the office.

As a nurse, I'm afraid I couldn't replace you.

Thank you, doctor.

I'll have a girl here Monday morning.

That's fine

you know, I've been tired, too.

Thought maybe we'd close up the office for a few days

and take a run up to spring lake.

They have excellent fishing, boating, fresh air.

I'd love to, Mark,

but I promised to visit my family.

I haven't seen them in months.

Oh, I didn't know that you...

They live in Malcolm falls,

about 70 miles above spring lake.

Well, that's perfect.

I'll drive you up to Malcolm falls,

leave you there, then I'll come back

to spring lake for some fishing.

You can return by train,

and I'll see you here on Monday.

How about it?

All right.

Bill, what happened here?

I was coming down the hallway, doctor.

There was a blast.

Good thing I was there

there was a couple investigators here.

- Investigators? - Yeah

they asked me a whole lot of questions about you.

I told them you was okay.

Say, you're lucky, doctor

a few minutes more and all that stuff would have been gone.

I hope you're insured, doctor.

I'm not in the habit of running after fires,

but when they told me at headquarters it was here,

naturally, I was interested.

- Think you'll need me? - No.

Mind if I have 3 look around?

The investigators have already done that.

Well, I feel, especially in a case like this,

that everything is a clue.

Nothing must be overlooked.

Thank you.

Doctor, just a minute.

Here's something might interest you.

You see, I wasn't wrong.

And the most innocent thing.

Acid

oh, by the way, wasn't your wife disfigured by...

I'm sorry, doctor.

Now, this particular...

Strange that it should occur to you twice.

Acid, I mean.

Peculiar place for a chemical, don't you think, doctor?

Very clever.

- Are you insinuating... - Why not?

Perhaps you had something to hide.

Well, it was a pretty good fire.

Looks like it took a long while to get started.

Where were you the last few hours?

On my way back from spring lake.

And when the train stopped, you got out and made

a long-distance telephone call to yourself.

Vibration of the telephone bell

upset the acid, causing it to fall.

And your little gadget did the rest.

I hate to disillusion you, inspector, but I drove back.

Besides, why would I want to burn my own office?

May I repeat myself?

Perhaps you had something to hide.

Mark!

Mark, what happened?

Just a little fire.

Are you all right?

You're not hurt? Of course I'm all right.

There's nothing to worry about.

- Is your office all right? - Yes.

The fire didn't get in there.

Oh, I'm glad.

Were you out of town, too?

What's that got to do with it?

A successful doctor closes his office,

goes away on a vacation.

His nurse, t00?

Now, come, doctor.

Of course, he needed a rest

- and you? - I went to visit my family.

- Spring lake? - Malcolm falls

same route, isn't it?

Why, yes.

Yeah.

You don't mind if I use your private phone, doctor?

Long distance.

Supervisor, please.

Uh, this is inspector gregg, headquarters.

Have there been any long-distance calls

to this number in the last four or five hours?

Oh, wait a minute.

This is main 9-2-1-0

all right, I'll wait.

Routine, I hope you don't mind.

Yes?

Yes, there was a long-distance call.

Where from?

From spring lake early this morning.

Was it a man or a woman?

I couldn't tell

the voices were muffled.

I couldn't distinguish whether it was a man or a woman.

All right, thank you, operator.

What is this all about?

The fire

well, you can't suspect us, we weren't here.

Why don't you explain it to her, doctor?

[T seems that the fire started in the telephone box.

There were signs of acid.

An old trick, should interest the fire department.

Not hard to track down, either.

Did the train stop at spring lake?

Well, yes.

I don't suppose you got off, did you?

On the contrary, I did.

I went to the newsstand and bought a magazine.

Well, I'm sorry.

My apologies.

Got a match, doctor?

Of course.

Thank you.

Jj

Mind if I keep these, doctor?

Mark, he frightens me.

Darling, why would anyone want to set fire to the office?

I wish I knew.

We'd better look through the files.

I hope the books aren't burned.

Your personal files, they're ruined.

Canceled checks, home expenses.

The record of all of Maria's bills

and my personal accounts, destroyed.

Well, don't worry about it, dear.

It'll make it just that much easier for you.

Now you won't have to break-in the new girl.

She can inaugurate her own system.

Jj

What's wrong with me?

It's three days since the fire.

I can't keep my mind on my work.

The least sound seems to upset me.

I wonder why?

What's going on out here?

Mrs duval was here

I told her you couldn't be bothered.

Weren't you being inconsiderate?

You know what she's going through.

But you can't do anything for her now.

Besides, it brings back unpleasant memories.

Oh, I guess you're right.

What's the date today?

[T's the 28th.

That's why Mrs. duval wanted to see me.

Her husband dies tomorrow morning at 5:00.

Oh, how could I have been so cruel?

Shall I call her back?

No, it would only add to her injury.

I think I'll leave early tonight.

Mark, I know how you feel.

You mustn't let it bother you.

It's a man's life

I once took an oath that I'd save lives.

If there was only something I could do in this case.

Stella, I don't want to be alone tonight.

Would you have dinner with me?

Maybe a show?

Just anything to pass the time.

Of course, darling.

Jj

Jj'j

Thinking of duval?

Are you?

Yes

Stella, I don't want to go home.

Let's go back to the office and sit there

until this horrible thing is over.

Waiter

Stella looks very tired.

The strain seems to be too much for her.

Drink?

Here you are.

Stella, I don't know

what I would have done without you.

You've been so considerate

well, here's to...

I don't want it

neither do I

I know

I know just how you feel.

What time is it?

A few minutes to 5:00

the evening's been so long.

Long for us, yes, but...

Think of duval

he only has two minutes to live.

Now

only a minute and a half.

He's gone.

No more duval

you're tired, aren't you, Stella?

Asleep.

Rest

rest

that's it, Stella.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Stella!

Stella!

Stella! Stella!

Stella!

Stella!

Stella!

I'm returning the money that Maria gave me.

Don't be a fool

the doctor doesn't know a thing about it.

I fixed the records

we're in the clear

give me back your share.

I'm returning that, too.

I won't

you've got yours, I've got mine,

and I'm going to keep it.

Oh, no, you're not.

Maria means too much to me.

Even if I have to tell the doctor.

Tell the doctor?

You wouldn't dare

I love her.

I'd do anything, even tell the doctor.

Oh, no, you're not going to tell him.

He belongs to me.

I planned all this.

Don't interfere, I'll see you dead first.

What are you doing here?

You followed me

get out. Get out!

I hate you, get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Listen, Mark.

I isten

you drove to the lodge.

Maria was there

she was drunk.

She accused you of following her.

You argued.

You pushed her away and ran out of the house.

As you got in the car, through the rearview mirror,

you saw duval enter the house.

Do you hear?

You saw duval enter the house.

Now, repeat what I said.

Do you hear?

Repeat.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Now, please,

get a girl to take care of the office.

As a nurse, I'm afraid I can't replace you.

I mustn't let you go through the files.

I mustn't let you see the canceled checks

for the money Maria gave duval.

Mustn't let you find out.

Mustn't let you see the canceled checks.

Thank you, doctor.

I'll have a girl here Monday morning.

Long distance, please.

Don't let them do it, Mark!

Don't let them

Mark! Mark!

You can set your watch back now, doctor.

It's exactly ten after 4:00

what happened, Mark?

Mark!

Miss Madden, I hold you for the murder of Maria Steele.

It's a lie

tell him!

You can't arrest me.

You have no evidence, no witnesses.

Only your conscience.

You tricked me.

You knew it all the time.

But nobody will believe you.

Oh, no!

My word's as good as yours.

Do you hear?

Nobody will believe you, you have no proof!

We have all the proof we need.

You have no proof, let me go!

You have no proof, I tell you!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go, you have no proof!

Operator, this is inspector gregg, headquarters.

Get me warden Williams, state penitentiary, please.

Why did you suspect me?

I didn't

I only used you for bait,

because I knew you'd lead me to the criminal.

She was clever, almost too clever

hello, Williams, gregg.

Duval's clear

yeah

no, the doctor's nurse.

Yeah

no, that won't be necessary.

I'll make the report out myself.

Right.

Well, doc, it's been pretty tough on you, hasn't it?

But do you know something, I envy you.

How's that?

Well, you've got something to go back to,

but with me it's different.

You see, some place at this very moment,

a crime is being contemplated.

All I can do is sit and wait.

I start with death

I look for life,

and when I find it

I've got to destroy it.

Hello?

Yes

oh, yes, he's here, just a moment.

It's for you. - Thanks.

Hello?

Yeah

Stewart hotel?

Murder?

All right, I'll be right over.

See what I mean?

Well, so long, doctor.
