Dr. death, where are you?

I et's smoke him out!

Happy new year, everybody!

And now, ladies and gentlemen...

Dr. death himself, Paul toombes.

Thank you. Well, my friends

you've just seen
the fifth Dr. death epic...

In which I play many parts
all brilliantly, of course.

If Dr. death has been a hit

it has been largely due
to my dear friend Herbert flay

who gave up a very
promising career as an actor

when he found out
he could write so well.

I have got something
very important to tell you.

As you know,
in Dr. death pictures

there's always a young
and pretty victim.

Sometimes I, um, strangle her.

Sometimes I boil her alive
and sometimes if I'm lazy

I just, uh, slit her throat
from ear to ear.

Well, tonight I would like
you to meet my next victim:

Ellen Mason.

Oh, I have a terrible
fate in store for her.

I'm going to marry her.

Paul has everything now...

Success, friendship...

Love.

Well, that's Hollywood
for you, sweetheart.

He's on the make,
she's on the take.

You're the only girl who's ever been
on the level with me.

Hey, Ken,
I want you to meet Ellen.

Paulie!

What a picture, Paulie.

You sure scared
the pants off of me.

Who hasn't?

Congratulations, Ellen.

You're marrying a fine monster.

My, what a lovely ring!

All I ever got...

Was a stake through the heart.

You're all heart, Faye.

Come on, darling.

Hey, Paul, congratulations.

I hope you have a long
and happy marriage.

Thank you very much.
I'll see you later.

Close your eyes.

Oh, darling, it's beautiful.

Look inside, darling.

Very classy.

Must've cost you
a couple of pennies, huh?

I'm glad to see you finally held out
for marriage this time.

Who's he?

This is Oliver quayle.
I'm a producer.

I make adult films for,
uh, art houses.

Ellen used to be
one of our stars.

She was one of the best
when it came to stripping

and getting down
to the hard action.

Get out of here.

L... meant it as a compliment.

She had sort of an intellectual
approach to her work.

She always liked to read in bed.

Right, sweetheart?

I must run some of your films.

In private, of course.

And I'd like a list
of your bedside reading.

Paul, it was a long time ago
at the start of my career.

Yes, of course, your career.

Well, I can do something
for your career.

I can kill it! = Paul...

Very beautiful, very expensive.

I hope you didn't have to
work too hard for it.

Hey, what's going on?

They're all on the make.
All of them!

"My darling Paul,
all my love, Ellen."

Happy new year, everybody!

Happy new year!

Ellen...

Darling, I'm sorry, I...

I shouldn't have
said what I did.

You've had a breakdown.

You're under treatment.

You're being well looked after.

Try to remember...

Did you do it?

Did you do it?

I . Don't know.

I don't know.

That was quite a few years ago.

The case was hever solved.

After that, he turned
into some kind of weirdo...

Couldn't tell where
he stopped and Dr. death began.

The police used to find him walking
up and down sunset boulevard

in his Dr. death costume.

They finally dragged him
off to the funny farm,

but by the time he was cured,
there was no career left for him.

You don't live down
the kind of headlines

he was getting
in the newspapers.

"Sex actress murdered.
Dr. death accused.”

“Dr. death acquitted.”

"Dr. death retires.”

Perhaps he didn't do it.

He killed her, all right.

Oliver, I'm in public relations.

Not criminal aftercare.

All I'm asking you to do
is collect him off the ship

and make sure you get
his pictures in the papers.

Why don't you go?

No...

No, this time I want to
meet him on my home ground.

Are you sure
the press will turn out?

Are you kidding?

His old movies show all
the time on television.

There's a whole new cult
today for Dr. death...

And I've got him.

I've got Dr. death.

What are you doing in here?

I'm Elizabeth Peters,
mr toombes.

That's nice for you.
What do you want?

You.

You're the only man
on board worth meeting,

and you never come
out of your cabin.

How did you get in here?

Now I'm here,
you might be sociable.

Oh, come on, get off the bed.

You're going to england to make
a television series, aren't you?

So what? Now, get out of here.

Who's playing the girl's part?
Is she cast yet?

I haven't the slightest idea.
Now, come on, get out.

Surely you don't want
another scandal.

I mean, anyone coming in here

and seeing us like this
would just think one thing.

Your champagne, sir.

Henry, I didn't
order any champagne.

Now, take it away.

I'm very sorry, sir.
There's been a mistake.

It won't happen again, Mr. toombes.
See to it that it doesn't.

I just had the order to bring in...
Yes, go on, go on.

Look, all I need is a break.

Then I wouldn't tell
the newspapers a thing.

Miss Peters, as they
say in horror movies,

you will come to a bad end. Out!

You haven't seen
the last of me, Paul.

There's a girl from the studio

who's supposed to
be here someplace.

Thank you very much, Henry.

Oh, thank you, Mr. toombes.

Have a nice day, sir. Thank you.

I'll see your luggage
gets safely in the car.

Right, thanks.

The captain has that
$100 as a reward

in case anybody finds my watch.

Good-bye, sir. - Good-bye.

Hey, Dr. death! Hey, Dr. death!

Hold it just there. - What?

Wait a minute. Wait. Please, don't.
How does it feel to be in england?

Gentlemen. I was promised
no reporters. Please.

Dr. death, who's this?

Miss kiss of death.

That's enough.
You've had your pictures.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Come along. = thanks.

It's not often that I'm
rescued by a pretty girl.

It's my job.

I'm Julia Wilson,
PR for your show.

Well, you're very
good at it, I'm sure.

Yet. Wait and see.
You don't know me.

No, but I can tell a
nice girl when I see one.

Thanks.

Good-bye, sir. - Thank you.

I'm not coming all the way because
I have to call in at the office.

Come on, love, out.

Come on, out you go, how.

I only wanted a lift.

Why do you have to make trouble?

It's ridiculous!
I just wanted a lift.

Come on.

Thank you.

Paul!
Herbert. I don't believe it.

Well, it has been a long time.

Oh, to me it seems
like only 12 years.

Here, let me. - Oh, thank you.

Well, here's to Dr. death.

No...

Herbert, I shouldn't
have come here.

Oh, dear.
I thought you'd say that.

I only came because
I owe it to you.

You said you wouldn't
do the show without me

and that you needed the money.

But quite frankly,
now that I'm here, I'm afraid.

You owe me nothing.

I couldn't explain
everything on the telephone.

I don't need the money.

I made a very nice, new career
for myself now as an actor.

But I had to get
you here somehow.

I haven't been near
Dr. death for years.

Anything he does frightens me.

It brings everything back.

And so it should.

You've been living in
the coffin of the past,

or the tombs of the past,
if you like, for years.

Yes, you're right.
Everybody thinks I'm dead.

Including myself.

The only way to conquer your fear
of the past is to face it...

Even relive it if you have to.

Why, Paul?

I made you come here to
bring you back to life.

But you're not bringing
me back to life,

you're bringing
Dr. death back to life.

And he terrifies me.

I'm terrified of what he's done.

I'm terrified of
what he still may do.

Paul? - Hm?

Come and look at this. - What?

How about that?

Oh, my god.

We were younger than springtime.

They were the days. - Yes.

Something else to show you.

I've got every film
we ever made.

Oh, Herbert, you haven't.

Yes, I have.

I run them all the time.

It helps with writing
the new scripts,

and it'll help you to
recapture the character.

- No.
- Oh, yes.

No, I haven't seen one since...
Exactly.

I'll see who that is.

Hello? Herbert flay speaking.

Yes, yes, he's here.

One moment, please.

It's for you.

Me?

But nobody knows I'm here.

It's a girl.

Oh, yes...

Yes, it might be that
nice girl from the studio

Julia, Paul...

Hello?

Hello?

Paul toombes here.

Hello...

She hung up.

Actually, she didn't
ask for Paul toombes.

She asked for Dr. death.

Come sit down, Paul,
and watch one of your old movies.

Do I have to?
Yes, you do. It's the only way.

It might give you
a laugh, anyway.

There.

There is no pain.

No...

Pain.

You are at peace...

Mind and body...

At peace entirely.

Remember this?

You were brilliant. = basil...

I had some real help on that one.

Mind and body
in a state of peace.

You understand this?

Understand.

Then sleep.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Your body losing all sensation.

Your mind enveloped in darkness.

Nothing can disturb you now...

As you drift ever
deeper into darkness...

And sleep.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Do you hear me?

I hear.

Are you asleep?

I sleep.

Herbert!

Herbert?

Paul?

Paul, are you there?

Paul?

Paul?

Paul?

Paul?

Paul?

Paul...

Come here.

Come...

Where are you?

Come here.

J since you've gone away j

j one thing is clear to me j

j you were dearer
than dear to me j

j from the moment you came j

j evenings by your side,
I learned to love the night j

j but the loveliness
of the night j;

j is no longer the same j

js when day is done
and shadows fall j

j I dream of you j

j when day is done j

j' I think of all
the joys we knew j

j that yearning returning j

j to hold you in my arms j

s won't go, dear, I know, dear j

j without you,
night has lost its charms j

j when day is done
and grass is wet j

j with twilight's dew j

j my lonely heart is... j

why must you kill everything?!

They don't hurt.

I call them my babies.

But I don't know who you are.

When you knew me...

I was pretty.

I was Faye carstairs.

Yes, you were in one
of the Dr. death films.

The one with ..

Spiders.

Yes

Faye.

Now you remember.

I was ambitious then.

I wanted you to help
me with my career.

Yes, you all did.

Except poor Ellen.

- Ellen?
- She was so pretty.

I don't want
to talk about Ellen.

It changed all our lives, didn't it?

How did it change yours, Faye?

Herbert's career was ruined.

He needed me, so I married him.

Poor Herbert.

I should never have done it.

Well, I got paid back.

How are my babies?

How are my pretty,
furry little babies?

Tell me about it, Faye.

Yes

yes, I will tell you, Paul.

Herbert and I were unhappy.

I began to play around a lot.

You know, and I was
pretty, wasn't I, Paul?

Oh, yes.

I had my own car. I...

I'd just pick up anyone.

You know what I mean?

I wasn't particular.

I used to laugh at stories of...

Girls being beaten up by
guys just for the hell of it.

Well...

The stories were true.

Only these guys got scared.

They set the car on fire
and pushed it down the hill.

When I came out of it...

I wasn't pretty anymore.

That was the last time
you saw your daughter?

Not our daughter.

Our foster daughter.

My sister's child...
We took her as a baby.

It was our duty.

She did her duty, too.

Always very generous to us.

We've always been
very generous to her.

The full list of
passengers and crew, sir.

Excuse me.

Well...

Either he invited
her into his cabin...

Or you let her in.

Well, she could have
walked in by herself.

If the door wasn't locked.

They're very careless
in first class. I mean...

Half of them don't even
bother to turn up for fire drill.

I wouldn't have thought Paul
toombes was a careless man.

Successful people always pay
great attention to detail.

Did you let her in?

Look, I've only got
ten days ashore...

Did you let her in?!

I've told you, that would
be against regulations.

I understand she was
quite a heavy tipper.

You can't prove it.

Look, I just brought the
champagne and there they were.

Is still unusable.

It is said to be littered
with the wreckage

from the airplane
blown up by the hijackers...

Why didn't you tell
me about Faye?

I thought it might upset you.

You're right. It did.

I had hoped you wouldn't meet.

She sleeps during the day
and only gets up at night.

The police are anxious
to trace anyone

who can help them
in their inquiries

regarding the death
of Elizabeth Peters...

A young actress who had recently
returned from the United States.

The girl's body was found on
the upper reaches of the thames.

A raid on a house...

Come in.

Well, how are you, old buddy?

Say, you look pretty good.

All things considered.

How are you? - Hello, Oliver.

How do you do, Mr. quayle?

You don't remember me, do you?
=no.

I was at your last
big Hollywood party.

Yes, of course.

You were the man that
Ellen worked for.

That's all in the past, Paul.

I don't make that
cheap crap anymore.

I'm in television now.

Television...
I thought that was a family medium.

You know, you
always were a big joker.

Well, we got a lot
of work to do now,

and you and I are
gonna be buddies, so...

Ccomme on, let's meet
the rest of the gang, huh?

Of all the producers in the world,
why did you have to choose him?

You're wrong. He chose us.

I'm sure you can deal
with him, Mr. toombes.

Herbert and I just lock him
up with the accountant...

And get on with our real work.

That's what any good
professional would do.

Good luck. = thanks.

No!

What the blazes
are you doing, bradshaw?

Turn that thing off!

Blasted racket.
Can't hear yourself think.

Sorry, sir. I was looking
at the legend of Dr. death.

Never heard of it.

Oh, it's a very good film, sir.

Wait a minute, you're supposed to
be working on the Peters murder.

Oh, I am, sir.

The Peters murder
was done with a pitchfork...

Exactly like the one in this film.

If Paul toombes copied it,
then he's a fool.

Oh, I don't think he copied
it deliberately, sir.

The character of Dr. death
has taken him over.

Actors don't get
carried away like that.

It's happened before, sir.

Copies of his old
hospital report.

Turn to the back page, sir.

At the top.

"The condition may
recur under stress.

Moreover, the simple fear of
recurrence might be enough,

in itself, to occasion a recurrence.

I see.

So what do you hope to
learn from this old film?

I've still got a couple
of reels to go, sir.

Carry on, bradshaw, but for
god's sake, keep the volume down.

This is Scotland yard,
you know...

Not a blasted picture palace.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, George.
Dr. death to the "t". Thank you.

Mr. toombes, good morning.
Morning.

- I'm from the daily news.
- I'm sorry,

I never give interviews
during work hours.

Perhaps a comment on the
death of Elizabeth Peters?

Mr. Wells... - No comment.

Gerry? - Yes, Paul.

Come here and take a look at the
makeup, see if you like it.

Mmm, yes. I'm happy if you are.
Okay.

Thanks, George.
Let's get on the set.

Tell me what you want me to do.

Now, look, Paul, in this scene...

How's it going with the press?

It's not. - Hey.

Wait a minute.

I want you to meet
your leading lady.

Carol Clayton.

Leading lady?

Damn good actress.
Hello, darling.

What part are you playing,
miss Clayton?

Your assistant, of course.

My assistant?

Dr. death never had an assistant.

Well, I figured we needed a little
sex appeal in this series...

So I did a little rewriting.

Well, come on, get a move on.

Time is money.

Let's have it quiet
on the floor, please.

Come on, Nigel,
get them ready for a take.

We're recording.

Quiet, everyone! Settle down!

Okay, roll tape.

How long has she been dead?

Almost an hour.

We must work fast
before rigor mortis sets in.

Hand me the scalpel.

Sorry, doctor.

I said we must work fast
before rigor mortis sets in.

I didn't say in who.

We're recording, Paul.

Just tell miss what's-her-name
to stop looking at the camera

and to hand me the scalpel
with some sense of urgency,

as time is marching on!

All right, cut it.

We've cut.
First positions, please.

Paul, we don't need any
of that star temperament here.

Besides, you're upsetting
miss Clayton.

Wrap it up. Where are you going?

We'll pick it up tomorrow morning.
You've got a contract with us!

And I'll fulfill it as soon as
miss Clayton learns her business.

J death is the name
of the doctor you've met j

j he'll do you in
with no twinge of regret j

j if you've a headache,
don't ask him to call j;

j you'll likely end up... j

I must write a part
for you in that gear.

J death is the guy
who makes Oliver quayle j

j some of his pranks
go beyond any pale j

j his surgery walls decorated
with gall bladders &

j livers and kidneys... j

just like the great days, eh?

In our day in Hollywood,
the monsters didn't need makeup.

They just came
as themselves like quayle.

You said this television
series would make me a star.

He's already trying
to get rid of me.

Look, honey, I told you...

I've gotta keep him in
until the series gets going.

Then we kill him off and
the assistant takes over.

Well, that's you, baby.

How long do you think
this clambake will go on?

Not much longer.

Julia, come and cheer Paul up.

I must mingle a little.

Hello, love. = hello.

Anyone I can introduce you to?

No, everybody's gone off me.

J... bakes pastries
so crisp and so light j

j manna from heaven
in every last bite I

j his ladyfingers are... j
why are you ignoring me?

You've done nothing but insult
and humiliate me all day!

And you haven't said a word
about my performance.

Don't press your luck, baby.

Your dead fiance e... Ellen...

What sort of an actress was she?

Will you shut up?!

Listen to me, Mr. toombes!

I'm playing the female
lead in this series,

whether you like it or not.

So you're the one
that better watch it, mate!

Your drama school accent is slipping.

All right, everybody,
let's quiet down.

Come on. Can the conversation.
It'll keep.

I've got an
announcement to make.

Now, you all know my friend
Paul toombes, our star.

I've arranged a
sort of tribute to him.

I found some old film of his
I thought you might like to see.

In case any of you
are afraid of being bored,

I promise you
it won't take long.

It's only a small tribute.

Anne.

Get her away from here.

Get her away from here.
Take her away.

Get her away from here.

I et me out!

Let me through! I'm the police.

All right, now, miss.

Out you go.

You made a noise
and frightened my babies.

Faye, I...

Something happened
at that party tonight.

Dr. death killed somebody.

Oh, don't be silly, Paul.

Dr. death can't kill anybody.

But tonight, all the
women were screaming.

Why were all the women
screaming?

Because I made them scream.

No...

But if I didn't, who did?

Well, it couldn't
have been Dr. death.

But he was there, wasn't he?

I know that he was.

Because when
I opened my eyes, I...

I saw his glove.

You know that glove, Faye.

My glove. Dr. death is real!

No...

That's the prints done.

I'm certainly glad you've been
assign ed to the case, sir.

Might get somewhere now.

Your writing's
not very clear, bradshaw.

I can't read half the
names on this sheet.

Sorry, sir. I'll get it typed.

Dr. death and the
hangman, you said?

Yes, sir.

In that film, the girl is
murdered in exactly the same way.

I wish that man
would stop crying.

Yes, sir. I'll tell don't bother.

This glove could fit a
hundred different guys.

You must be crazy.

You were standing right there
when Paul toombes insulted her.

He hated her because she was
young, pretty, and ambitious.

Now, miss, do you know the present
whereabouts of Mr. toombes?

Bradshaw!

Paul, where are you off to?

Herbert, I can't stay here.

I can't go on with the show...

Hot after all these tragedies.

Why, surely you don't think
you're responsible for them?

Do you?

Of course not.

Well, I'm...

I'm just not sure.

Good-bye and thank you. = Paul!

Ah, good evening, Mr. toombes.

Well, what do you want here?

May I introduce...

Inspector Harper, sir. Well?

We'd like you to accompany us to Scotland
yard and help us with our inquiries.

May I have a light?
Light, bradshaw.

Let's go.

Come on.

Perfect fit? - Yes, of course.

Size nine.

Your turn.

Perfect fit. Shake.

All right, Mr. toombes,
sit down, please.

Thank you.

Now, sir,
you quarreled with Carol Clayton

oh the set and at the party.

You threw Elizabeth Peters out of
your cabin and out of your car.

A lesser man
would've strangled them.

I didn't.

My colleagues suggest you don't
always know what you're doing, sir.

Dr. death used a pitchfork.

He also hanged a girl
with her own hair.

You don't think I'd be foolish
enough to give myself away

by using my old movies, do you?

Are you sure, sir?

I'm sorry to put this so
bluntly, sir...

But you have a history
of mental instability.

Gentlemen, I...

I never wanted to play
Dr. death again...

And I think I was right.

That's why I packed
my bags tonight.

I remember the legend,
I remember the hangman...

I remember all of those
other Dr. death stories.

The ones that
haven't come true yet.

Is it me? I don't know.

Do you?

No, sir, I don't.

You can't keep me
here, you know.

Well, good night, gentlemen.

Our little girl had it.

The girl on the ship.

The girl you seduced.
The girl you done in.

Give me that watch!

Give me that watch!
Give it to me!

You'll have to pay... £10,000.

Give it to me!

Dirty old man.
Taking advantage...

Of innocent girls.
You'll have to pay...

£10,000. - We brought her up.

Gave her the best.
Expensive schools.

Expensive training.
= all invested.

To make her famous.

A wealthy daughter.
A grateful daughter.

A generous daughter...
For our old age.

- Now she's gone!
- You'll have to pay!

£10,000!

Police need the watch.

Proves you knew her.
Proves you had her.

Proves you killed her!

Now, you get away from me,
or I'll kill you!

We can wait.

This is one of those scenes
in which we cheat.

The canopy comes down on you
and crushes you to death.

It, naturally,
the audience doesn't realize

but we stop the thing just in time,
and you roll out of the way.

It's control led by this.
Nigel works it.

Nigel? Where's Nigel?

I'm sorry, I sent him
out for some coffee.

Can ldo it?

Well, it's so simple,
even quayle could operate it.

Let's see... raise, lower.
Yes, I think I can manage.

Go on. Why don't you just show
me how, and I'll work it?

Right. Well, you've had
too much to drink...

You climb into the bed...
Gerry, excuse me a minute.

Paul. - Yes, love.

Can I tell Michael Parkinson

you'll definitely be appearing
on his show tonight?

Michael Parkinson? Who's he?

TV interviewer.

Well, we could sure use
some good publicity.

Okay, I'll do it. - Right.

Check with me later.

It'll be in studio b.
Thanks, Julia.

Let's get on with it.

Oh, yes. Now, look, you've
had too much wine to drink...

You climb into bed...

And you fall asleep.

A wind starts blowing...

The chandelier starts
to swing...

And then, slowly, the
canopy begins to move down.

Press the button.

It's green to lower.

You lie here,
sleeping like a baby.

While you sleep, clamps fix
themselves to your arms

so that you can't move.

Silently, the thing
comes towards you.

Your eyes open
as you realize the danger,

and at the very last minute,

you pull away the clamps and...

Stop it! Paul, stop it!

It won't work. - Stop it!

The button! The red button!

Press the button!
= it won't work!

Stop it! Stop it!
Damn thing won't work!

Help me, somebody!

Oh, my god.

How were the coppers?
They let him go.

They need some proof.
They need the watch.

Get away! - Thought it over?

£10,000. - To a man like you...

Yes, the mechanism was fixed.

Just by chance he was
lying on the bed.

This was meant
to kill Paul toombes.

Kill Paul?

But who'd want to kill Paul?

Don't look at me.

I may not like the guy,
but he is my star.

Excuse me.

Nigel...

Listen, you get
that bed fixed up.

So we can start
shooting tomorrow.

I've gotta get myself
another director.

Looking for something?

I thought I'd left
my schedule in here.

You don't usually
forget anything.

Look, the watch.

Now we're going
to get the money.

Mr. toombes?

Let's go.

Yes? - Paul? Julia.

Look, I think
I know what's going on.

Meet me in your dressing room
in half an hour, okay?

Why not?

After all...

It is my house.

Paul?

Paul, are you there?

No, you're never
there when I need you.

Come in, Julia.

Come in.

This way, Paul.

Down here, Paul.

My very special guest tonight

is someone that I've
always wanted to interview.

Someone once said of him
that, in fact he invented

the horror movie.

Before you meet him,
I should tell you that...

Well, in fact, he's here.

Ladies and gentlemen, would
you welcome Paul toombes?

Please, sit down.
In fact, you are early.

Yes. I like people who are
eager to get on my show.

I was about to tell the
audience, in fact that

you are somebody
I particularly wanted to meet.

But before we talk about that,

and to give you a chance
to get your breath back,

let's remind ourselves
of the old days

at the very beginning
of your career in Hollywood.

Let's have a look at one of the
first films that you ever made.

If you'd look over there.

Nicholas!

Oh, no!

Paul?

Maximillian!

Maximilian, we must break into
the torture chamber quickly!

Help!

Somebody come quickly, please!
Help!

For god's sake, help! Help me!

Help! Help! Help me!

Paul, why do you think that your
films have been so very successful?

Well, I think it's because
they're not about the ordinary,

everyday world around us.

They're about a world
that's deep inside of us.

A world of impulses
and instincts

that we have been
taught to suppress.

That sounds
a bit spooky impulses.

I mean, what sort of impulses?

Well, the impulses
that we don't dare admit.

Impulses that sometimes
we don't even know we have..

Animal cruelty, brutal
violence, and blood lust.

They're tamed and caged.

Sometimes they prowl around

inside of the cages
that we've built for them...

And then there comes a time

in between our
sleeping and our waking

when they whisper to us that
they want to be set free, but...

Well, we don't set them free.

I think maybe that's why
the pictures are successful,

because they do set them free.

Let's have a look at one
of your greatest movies.

There was no other way.
No other way.

Quick, bradshaw!
He's given us the slip!

He arrived early
and left early, too.

He did, in fact, I suppose,
once play the invisible man,

but this is daft, isn't it?

Julia.

No, Ellen, no!

No! No, not again!

Not again!

No. Leave it.

If that's him,
we'll never get him now.

He's thrown the master lock.

It seals every door to the stage.

Not even a mouse could get in.

Or out.

Why did he take you
again, Ellen?

Was it because you were young?

Because your eyes shone?

And your lips smiled?

Because you were...

Nlife?

It wasn't me tonight, Ellen.

No...

Or all those years ago.

It was Dr. death.

Dr. death.

Who is Dr. death?

Well, I will tell you.

Herbert and I created
him between us.

No, we didn't create him,
he was there.

We found him in ourselves.

We looked into the
depths of our souls...

And he was there.

He was already there.

And he will always be there.

Who is Dr. death?

Well, I will tell you.

Man is born to live!

He creates life, he welcomes
life, he cherishes life!

He creates new life!

But deep in our souls,

there lurks an instinct
which welcomes death.

It makes it easier
when it comes.

It isn't very strong,
this death instinct.

It's only needed once.

That's what we saw
in the darkness.

That is the sleeping
phantom that we...

That we roused and formed
and clothed in black.

A phantom feeding on death,

creating death,
exalting in death!

Oh, why didn't he take me.

And let you live?

Now he must die.

The Dr. death
that we created, he must die!

I am not afraid.

There is always room for more
in the coffin of time.

The instinct is alive within me,

and you, Dr. death, are you afraid?

No...

No, you're going home.

Come!

Lights!

Camera!

Action!

Now I must play the final scene.

The death of Dr. death.

And here's to the new Dr. death.

I only hope I can do justice
to the memory of the old.

Dear Paul...

Reduced to ashes.

Well, we still have this.

The film
of his final performance.

Now it's yours.

I shall treasure this.

Oh, I want more
than that, Herbert.

I expect you to live up to it.

I'll do my best...

Once I've got over the shock.

Dear Paul...

Dear, dear Paul.

Lights!

Camera! Action!

I must play the final scene.

The death of Dr. death.

But you're dead.

You're dead!

Why did you do it, my friend?

You killed Ellen...

And all of the others, too.

You wanted everybody
to think that it was me.

Why, Herbert?

Why did you want to destroy me?

You loved Dr. death.

Yes... yes!

And I should have played him.

Dr. death is mine!

I created the part for myself,

but the studio gave it to you!

You weren't a better actor.

You were nothing until
you played Dr. death!

He made you into a star!

I killed Ellen hoping
to get rid of you...

But the studio
still wouldn't listen.

They said there was
only one Dr. death...

Paul toombes!

It should have been me!

Me!

And after all these years,

I had a second
chance, and I used it.

Quayle wanted to bring you back.

He needed me.

He needed me to persuade you!

So I drew up a contract.

He never thought it would apply.

There is a clause in it that
says if anything happens to you

I take your place.

I play Dr. death at last!

I'm not going
to be cheated this time.

He belongs to me!

I am Dr. death!

They like him now.

The babies wouldn't go near
him when he was alive.

Aren't you good boys and girls?

You've ate up every bit of him.

Full of nourishment.

Darling...

Don't take too much time.

Supper"s nearly ready.

J since you've gone away,
one thing is clear to me. J

j you were dearer
than dear to me j

j from the moment you came j

j evenings by your side,
I learned to love the night j

j but the loveliness

j' I think of all

j that yearning returning j

j to hold you in my arms j

s won't go, dear, I know, dear j

j without you,
night has lost its charms j

j when day is done
and grass is wet j

j with twilight's dew... j

j my lonely heart is... I
it's your favorite, Paul.

Sour cream and red herrings.

J the whole day through j

j I miss you most of all »
