Man lives in the sunlit world

of what he believes to be reality.

But... there is,

unseen by most, an underworld.

A place that is just as real

but not as brightly lit.

A darkside.

Was that a caramel?

You're on a diet.

I love caramels.

They stick to your teeth.

What page you on?

I'm almost finished.

Don't lie to me, Harvey.

How you ever going to pass that test tomorrow?

With a computer.

Never make fun of computers.

How many times have I told you?

It's the future. It's the future.

Read, Harvey, so you can be an executive like my brother Sid.

I work for Sid.

In his parts department.

After 31 years, don't we deserve more?

I'm going to get more coffee.

I'll hold your place.

Nadine.

Harvey, did you say something?

Please, come here.

Speak up! I can't hear you.

I think I threw my back out.

If you're going to spend all night in the kitchen...

You're lying on the floor.

My back.

Yes. You're lying on the floor on your back.

Why?

I was picking up a teaspoon

when something happened to my spine.

Should I call the doctor?

Just let me lie here awhile.

Should I bring the book so you can study?

I don't think so, Nadine.

Oh.

It's past midnight, darling.

Aren't you coming to bed?

I can't make it to bed, darling.

I'll have to spend the night here.

On the kitchen floor?

It's where I happen to be, darling.

This is the first time we've been separated

since we got married.

Darling, would you please get me a blanket?

Sure.

I hope this will be all right.

I didn't want to put a good blanket

on the floor.

Thank you.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

Nadine!

Nadine!

What's the matter?

Nadine!

What's the matter?

There's someone out there.

Out where?

The window. A face.

Darling, it's raining cats and dogs.

Why would anyone be out there?

But, Nadine,

it was so real. I thought...

Look, Harvey,

if you want to sleep next to the refrigerator

like some household animal, it's okay with me.

But it's getting late, and I have to go to bed.

Good night.

Good morning. I'm Dr. Roebuck.

It's you.

I beg your pardon?

You were at my window.

You saw me?

My husband imagined he saw somebody outside our window

last night, Doctor.

But that's his face.

I could pick him out in a crowd.

Your husband must have been in terrible pain

if he hallucinated a face like mine.

I was.

I can still not move very well.

Let's see.

According to your doctor, your back went out all of the sudden.

I was picking up a teaspoon.

Nasty things, teaspoons.

What do you do for a living?

Parts department.

Automobile dealership.

But he's studying to be a computer programmer, Doctor.

Let's, uh... look at the X-ray.

How am I?

I would say there's absolutely nothing wrong with your back.

I told him he had to be exaggerating.

I mean, all that groaning,

and practically making me carry him in here.

Mrs. Turman, your husband

is definitely in severe pain.

I meant there's nothing visibly wrong.

Then what is it?

Tension, most likely.

You worried about something?

No. Well, that computer class I'm taking.

Uh... I can never really feel I... that I understand it.

I mean, not like pistons and carburetors.

That's because you don't apply yourself enough, darling.

I'm putting you on a muscle relaxant.

Give me a call in a couple of weeks.

I hope you won't be out of work too long.

Or miss too many classes.

We'll be all right.

I've got two weeks sick pay coming.

Maybe I shouldn't buy that silk blouse I saw,

even though it is on sale.

You can get it, Nadine.

I can't decide which one looks best on me,

the blue or the red.

Actually, it would be nice to get it in both colors.

If you're really sure

that you're going to go back to work pretty soon.

Sure. I'm telling you, we have nothing to worry about.

Harvey, you're the best husband a girl ever had.

Oh!

Harvey,

what are you doing?

Are you trying to scare the wits out of me?

You like it?

My physical therapist brought it today for me to try.

How much is he charging us for that ridiculous contraption?

Only $350, but we don't have to pay for it if...

$350?!

What, are we supporting his family?

First, he comes here three times a week,

at $35 a visit, twice a month.

And now he tries to sell you that?

But if it helps?

The doctor didn't help.

The chiropractor didn't help.

The Chinese man sticking needles into you didn't help.

What makes you think it'll be better this time?

I'll try anything, Nadine.

Do you ever consider what this is putting me through?

Look at the lines around my eyes, Harvey.

They weren't there two months ago.

I see what you mean.

I'm getting old, Harvey.

You've been out of work so long, they may fire you.

And our savings shrink every week.

What are we going to do?

More coffee, darling?

No, thanks.

I don't want to be late my first morning back.

You look wonderful.

100%.

You were giving in to it.

That was your problem.

See you tonight.

Don't forget your lunch.

Oops. Almost forgot.

It's 7:45; we continue now with The Classical Hour.

Take it easy, honey.

Please don't help me!

Harvey, I don't know how much more of this I can stand.

Just give me a couple of minutes.

Maybe I can make it to work after all.

I certainly hope so, with all the money we owe.

Charlie says there's a part-time cashier's job open

at the dealership.

You might want to talk to him.

Me? Work as a cashier?

Just temporarily.

I have enough to do, thank you.

But money is such a problem.

Even if I did go back to work, I...

If?

Is it "if" now?

Of course not. I meant...

I wonder how much of this back pain is real, Harvey?

You really seem to enjoy laying around all day long

and being served like a king.

How can you say that?

Has anybody ever pinpointed your problem?

A slipped disc? Pinched nerves?

Anything at all

to back up your claim?

Nadine, I'm in constant pain.

You are a constant pain, Harvey.

I'm sorry, but that's the way I feel.

Hello!

Oh, yes, Dr. Roebuck, he's here.

Hello. Dr. Roebuck.

I'm afraid so.

As bad as ever.

You can?

You're sure?

Oh, I'll be there.

Don't you worry, I'll be there.

He can cure me.

He absolutely guarantees it.

My cure is quite simple.

Provided, of course, you agree to it.

Doctor, I'll agree to anything.

I knew you would.

Well, then, Harvey,

all we have to do is murder your wife.

Doctor, could you say that again?

Well, as I see it, your wife is the source of your pain.

Therefore, to get rid of the pain,

you get rid of the wife.

Get rid of the wife?

Harvey, your suffering has no physical cause.

But your emotions are tearing you apart.

Anxiety, suppressed anger, hostility, frustration.

And the source of all these...

Nadine?

You could divorce her, of course,

but she'd get half of everything, forever.

Community property, unfortunately,

is not conducive to relieving lower back pains.

Nadine.

So you see,

we simply have to do away with Nadine.

What do you mean, do away?

An accident.

What kind of accident?

Oh, a happy accident.

A happy accident?

Doctor, is this some kind of psychology to make me relax?

If you think there's any other way...

Harvey, concentrate for a moment.

Imagine what Nadine's face looks like.

Those cold eyes, that smug expression, the hard smile.

How would it happen?

That's not your problem.

As I said,

all I need is your consent.

Sure.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

Huh.

She went shopping.

Sure, tomorrow.

And, Charlie, thanks again.

Good-bye.

Hello.

This is Mr. Turman.

What?

An accident?

The street?

Oh, my God.

Nadine.

Of course.

I'll be right there.

Nadine.

Accident.

Bud, our next challenger please.

Right, Bob.

She's a veterinary intern from Iowa City, Iowa

in Los Angeles on vacation.

Would you welcome Sharon Rafelson.

I'm okay.

My back doesn't hurt me anymore.

Mr. Turman?

My name is Ann Tracy.

Can I speak to you for a moment?

Six weeks ago when your wife was crossing the street,

I was the person driving the car.

It's taken me all this time to,

to find the courage to come here.

I haven't had a quiet hour,

since that terrible day, Mr. Turman.

Please, forgive me.

I can understand it's hard for you to talk about this.

Please, Mr. Turman.

It wasn't my fault.

I didn't have any choice.

This is Dr. Roebuck.

I was wondering how your back felt these days?

Perfect, like nothing ever happened.

Well, I would like to see you again for a final checkup.

No charge, of course.

Thanks Dr. Roebuck, but, uh, I'm feeling fine. Honestly.

Backs can be tricky things, Harvey.

I really wouldn't feel comfortable,

if I didn't check you out one last time.

Well, okay, sure.

Tomorrow, 3:00?

3:00.

See you then.

Harvey, you look, uh, well.

I feel great.

I told you it would work, didn't I?

What would work?

Getting rid of her, of course.

Doctor, it was an accident.

Oh, yes, uh... a happy accident.

Doctor, an old lady lost control of the car.

Mrs. Tracy.

Yes, uh, she brought it off quite well, I thought.

Are you trying to make me think that she hit Nadine on purpose?

I don't believe you.

Oh, you agreed to it.

Now, according to the rules.

Rules?

What are you talking about?

We made a deal, Harvey.

You're crazy.

And you're ungrateful.

When I think of what you put Mrs. Tracy through,

that dear, sweet old lady.

She wasn't ungrateful.

I met Mrs. Tracy.

And she would never murder anyone.

Nor would you, in the normal course of events.

Right.

A certain patient of mine has unendurable migraine headaches.

Now, they're triggered by her father's constant demands

for attention.

I'd like you to kill him.

Me?

You.

Forget it.

Fair is fair, Harvey.

Someone else did it for Mrs. Tracy,

she did it for you, now it's your turn.

I'm gonna report you.

I'm gonna report you.

I don't know to whom, but I'm gonna have you put away.

The door?

What is this?

The door doesn't open!

Or perhaps for variety,

you'd prefer to sample a migraine headache?

You did that to me.

You caused me all this pain.

Don't worry.

We'll have you up and around in no time.

This is her father's name and address.

Who are you?

Please, do it as quickly as possible.

Harvey, my patient is in a lot of pain.

But who are you?

The darkside is always there, waiting for us to enter.

Waiting to enter us.

Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight.
