[Max] This is my boss, Jonathan hart,

a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max.

I take care of both of them, which ain't easy,

'cause when they met, it was murder.

[Sighs]

[Chuckles]

You're staring at me.

No. Mm.

I'm not staring at you.

Yes, you are.

I'm looking at you. Oh.

[Giggles]

I like looking at you.

Asleep?

[Jennifer moans]

[Jennifer] Oh.

[Panting]

Come here. Is that for me?

[Jennifer] It certainly is.

Oh. Is that for you?

"Jonathan hart."

Do you ever wonder how he does that?

Oh, he's just a good boy.

Well, he is a male dog.

Get it?

Aw. That's snappy.

You like that, huh? Mm.

[Jennifer] Morning, Max.

[Max] Good morning. Breakfast is ready.

[Jonathan] Good morning, Max.

- Max. Doughnuts? - That's not exactly the most

healthy breakfast in the world, you know.

Swim a few extra laps

and you'll work off the calories.

Ah. He has got a point.

Jonathan, you'll have to do five extra laps for that one.

I'll do 10.

- You're impossible. - Mm.

- Hi, freeway. - Freeway.

Let me ask you. Here. Come here.

Are you up for 10 laps? Hmm?

Are you?

I'll do the dog paddle.

[Jonathan] Thanks.

Well, here goes.

[Screaming]

[Groaning] My eyes!

[Muffled groan]

Dr. Morse here.

Right. I know, Connie, but I have...

I have an emergency here.

Cancel all my morning appointments. Right, bye.

Hello, Mrs. Hart, Mr. Hart.

I'm Dr. Morse.

I head up the ophthalmology department here.

Your doctor called me.

- How do you do? - What's happened?

Oh, well, uh, my husband was swimming in the pool

and something burned his eyes.

[Morse] Keep your eyes closed.

- Did you do this? - Yes.

[Morse] Pretty good.

I washed his eyes out with water.

You did fine, Mrs. Hart.

[Woman on P.A.] Nurse bartlett, call physical therapy.

Now, let's have a look.

Open your eyes.

Do they still burn, darling?

Not as much as before.

[Morse] Ah.

It's possible

an accidental overdose of chlorine

could've irritated your eyes.

Check your pool.

No, I don't think it was the chlorine.

Why is that?

I can't see anything.

I'm blind.

[Morse] Mr. Hart,

your corneas are pretty badly burned.

And you were right.

Chlorine couldn't have done this.

The next 72 hours are crucial to us, and to you.

The tests you're going to take here are going to determine

how much damage has been done to the cornea

and to the conjunctiva.

I'm a surgical specialist,

but let's hope we don't have to perform a corneal transplant.

I want you to have complete quiet and rest.

That's the best thing you can do...

For you.

[Peggy] Hello, Dr. Morse.

Hello, Peggy.

Peggy's gonna give you a sedative for rest

and an analgesic for pain.

I'll look in on you a little later.

Mrs. Hart,

could I speak to you in the hall a minute?

I'll be right back, darling.

Doctor, do you think you could arrange for me

to have that room adjacent?

Mrs. Hart, I know you want to be with him,

right by his side.

But we've heavily sedated him,

and he needs complete quiet.

Frankly, I think you'll even upset him more

if he knows you're here all night worrying.

Visiting hours are plenty for him.

Well, I don't know that I like that idea very much.

I'm going to be with him constantly.

I'm going to conduct all his tests personally.

Well, you're the doctor.

I have your number at home.

If I need you, I'll call you.

Thank you. Peggy.

You'll check Mr. Hart's intraocular pressure,

won't you?

[Peggy] Yes, doctor.

[Woman on P.A.] Dr. Smith, call your office.

Dr. Smith, call your office.

Hi.

Well...

How you feeling?

Helpless.

Well, come on, now. Soon those shots will take over,

and you'll be sleeping just like a baby.

Now for the bad news.

Doctor's orders, I'm not allowed to stay.

Oh, no.

Well, I'll be back in the morning,

and I'll bring you your robe and slippers

and shaving kit, toothbrush. Everything.

I don't intend to move in.

Just for a couple of days.

[Sighs] Besides...

Give you a chance to miss me.

I certainly will.

And I certainly will miss you, too.

You know, I'm...

I'm beginning to feel a little sleepy already.

Good.

Sweet dreams, darling.

I'll call you first thing in the morning.

Okay?

Bye.

[Chair scrapes]

[Woman on P.A.] Dr. Frensell,

report to Dr. Barr in administration.

[Crickets chirping]

- [Phone ringing] - I'll get it.

Mm.

Hart residence.

Hey, Max.

Mr. H., what are you doing up at this hour?

Oh. Darling?

Hi.

What are you doing up so late?

Well, they turn the phones off around here about 10:00,

so I'm calling you from a pay phone in the hall.

Had the operator dial the number for me.

You're not supposed to be out of bed.

I miss you.

I want to hear your voice.

Oh, I miss you too.

Oh, listen.

I called Stanley, and he sent over a chemist

who tested the water in the pool.

They found something called loxite.

I've been trying to get a hold of Jerry, the pool man, all day,

but he's... he's never home.

They got me all doped up.

I'd rather have a Brandy.

As a matter of fact, I'd...

Like to have a Brandy with you.

Well, I'd like to have a Brandy with you, too.

I really do love you.

And I really do love you.

Is there anything you need? I'll bring it with me in the morning.

No.

All I need is you.

See you in the morning.

Good night, darling.

Good night.

Night.

[Hangs up]

[Tapping]

[Woman on P.A.] Nurse hall, call your station.

Nurse hall, call your station.

[Instrumental music playing on radio]

[Chair scrapes]

[Music continues]

Who is there?

- [Music stops] - [Jonathan] Who's there?

What is it, Mr. Hart?

Somebody's been in this room.

The furniture's been moved.

Not likely.

You're just not used to finding your way around yet.

Come on, I'll help you to your bed.

No, no. This way.

That chair...

Was in the corner.

The bed wasn't here.

I'll call the nurse.

Perhaps you would sleep better with a sedative.

No. No, no, no. No more.

I'll help you with your slippers.

If you need anything...

Just press the call button.

I won't be far away.

Sleep tight, Mr. Hart.

And don't let the bedbugs bite.

Good morning, darling.

Oh, good morning.

Nurse. Please don't breathe a word of this to my wife.

[Chuckles] I won't.

What are you wearing?

Uh, that, uh, green silk.

Oh, the one that, uh, I picked out in London?

Mm-hmm.

How do you feel this morning?

Anybody around?

No.

I had some trouble in my room last night.

Trouble?

The music was playing...

Oh, they pipe that in.

But suddenly it stopped.

And I couldn't find my way around.

Don't you understand?

Someone moved the furniture in my room.

Darling, you know, when you called me last night,

you were... you were pretty out of it.

Someone moved the bed...

The chair.

Wanted me to fall so I'd be hurt.

[Woman on P.A.] Nurse bartlett, call physical therapy on 214.

Orderlies not assigned to duty, report to emergency.

[Music playing]

- [Music stops] - Who are you?

I'm new.

New on the floor?

Yeah. New on the floor.

New at the hospital.

Well, what were you doing?

Oh I was just straightening up.

We don't touch patients' property.

Oh.

I thought maybe there was some nice music on here.

Give me the cassette.

Give me the cassette.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Who are you?

I'm harmon, and you know too much.

[Morse grunts]

Dr. Morse says that the fluid they took from your eyes

shows that all the loxite was washed out,

so there's no danger of cataracts.

Did she say when I'd be able to see again?

She needs another 48 hours to be absolutely sure

how much damage has been done.

Be patient, darling.

Oh, it's just that I feel so helpless in here.

Well, then let's remedy that.

Jim.

How nice of you to come. It's been too long.

I came as soon as I could.

Is this lovely woman your wife?

Jennifer, this is Jim blye.

Oh, yes. Jonathan's old professor.

He quotes you all the time.

Oh. Well, I try to make a lasting impression.

- That's a lovely dress you're wearing. - Oh. Why, thank you.

Well...

How did you know I was wearing a dress?

Slacks don't rustle when you shift position.

So...

Jonathan, how does it feel to be groping around in the dark?

That's why I called you.

Uh, we have every reason to believe

that Jonathan will regain his vision.

I understand the tests so far have been positive.

Jennifer insists that I have to be prepared

in case I can't see again.

[Jim] Mrs. Hart...

He's willing to face that eventuality.

You must also.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Jim] Now, Jonathan, I've got classes the rest of the day,

so let's start your basic training first thing tomorrow.

I'll see you then.

Excuse me, Mr. Hart, we're ready for your tests.

Uh, Jennifer, I'll meet you back at the room?

[Jennifer] I'll see you later.

Well, Jim.

Thanks an awful lot. I...

About your dress. Yes?

One question.

Green. Thanks.

[Both laughing]

[Woman on P.A.] Dr. Renfeld, report to Dr. Barr in administration.

Dr. Renfeld, report to Dr. Barr in administration.

Mr. Hart, you want to relax your head for me?

There. Thank you.

Mr. Hart, I want you to hold very still.

There.

Just wanted to line that up.

Now, Mr. Hart, don't open your eyes

until I completely remove the bandages.

You can open your eyes now.

Now, I'm gonna put some drops in your eyes to dilate your pupils.

I want 'em wide open

so we can get an anterior look at your ciliary body.

That hasn't been done to me for years.

Now, Mr. Hart, I'm gonna give you this test

'cause Dr. Morse is a little late.

So try and hold as still as you can

and keep those eyes wide open.

[Machine whirring]

[Indistinct announcement on P.A.]

Doc...

Oh, excuse me.

Uh... I'm Mrs. Hart.

Where's Dr. Morse?

Well, I, uh... I expected her. I... I don't know.

What's the matter, darling?

Nothing.

It's just that, uh, Dr. Morse said

that she would personally conduct all your tests.

Well, he's already started. He might as well finish it.

I could wait for her, but, uh...

I can give Mr. Hart the test.

Oh. I'm sure you can.

It's just that I'd prefer to talk to Dr. Morse.

Do you think you could go and find her for us?

Oh. Of course.

Thank you.

Darling...

Do you remember when you told me that someone

was moving the furniture around in your room?

Yes.

Well, I believe you now.

Lieutenant grey called.

That loxite didn't wind up in our pool by accident.

And he also found Jerry, the pool man.

He's got a concussion.

Someone knocked him over the head

and poured that stuff in our pool.

Here, let me move this machine until the doctor gets...

Ow!

[Jonathan] What happened?

Uh... uh, nothing. I just, uh, caught my nail.

[Knock on door]

I'll get it.

[Sneezes]

Well, if it isn't lieutenant grey.

[Jonathan] Lieutenant grey?

Well, in that case, god bless you.

How you doing, Jonathan?

I should have the bandages off day after tomorrow.

Ah, that's great.

- There's no guarantee. - Hey, don't worry about it.

I'm gonna make book that you'll be fine.

Herschel, isn't this the time

that you usually take your two-week vacation?

[Grey] You know, you're right, Jonathan.

I was all set to go to Vegas when I got this... this...

Bless you. Thank you.

The hospital is a little drastic for sneezes, isn't it?

Well, better safe than sorry.

That's what I always say.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Thanks for coming, lieutenant.

Ah, that's all right. And Jonathan,

until you check out of here, wherever you go,

I go.

[Woman on P.A.] Dr. Smith, call your office.

Dr. Smith, call your office.

Security office.

Yeah, hello, this is lieutenant grey, homicide.

I want the personnel files pulled

on all your male employees here.

That's right.

I'm sending down two officers to check 'em out.

Look, all I know is there's a man roaming the halls around here

that you people have been smiling at every day.

And he's a killer.

Hi. How you doing?

How are you?

Uh, the word "handicapped" is, uh...

Is a bit overstated, but it all depends on how you look at it.

Sorry. How you perceive it.

I said I don't feel handicapped.

Uh, there are things I can do now

that I never dreamed of doing when I was sighted.

See, when you're sighted, the other senses can relax.

There's a tendency towards laziness.

[Jennifer] Well, I'm very impressed.

When do you two get started?

Motivation.

The secret to any student-teacher relationship.

Jennifer, uh...

I think it's better for us to solo.

It is about independence.

I understand.

Jonathan, tools of the trade.

Give me your hand.

White cane?

[Jim] Yup. Lets you ride the city bus for free. [Chuckles]

[Giggles] Woman.

[Both chuckle]

[Woman on P.A.] Nurse Webster...

Pay attention to everything,

what you hear...

What you smell.

Ah.

Now, wait a minute. Let's... Uh, let's stop here.

Come around here.

What do you smell?

Food.

Well...

Specifically? Yes. Yes.

I'm not sure.

Fish.

Definitely broccoli.

Salad, roquefort dressing.

Hey. How do you do that?

Oh, hi, Andy.

- Hello, Mr. Hart. - Andy.

Toss Mr. Hart one of those apples.

Well, wait. Now that's a bit advanced.

Toss it to me.

Okay.

Here goes.

Hey, that was great.

I take it you caught it?

You guys are the funniest thing in this hospital.

Mm. Jonathan.

Mm-hmm?

No, no, no, it's a Jonathan apple.

- All right. Let's go. - See you, Andy.

Yeah. Sure.

Poor Andy. Terrible thing we did to him.

[Chuckles] You really scrambled his brains up.

Jonathan, it's all a matter of how you play the game.

See, the sighted feel they have an advantage, hmm?

Oh, you admit that?

Well, depends on whose court you're on.

Turn out the lights,

then who has the advantage, hmm?

- Hi, Andy. - Hi.

Hello, Andy. How you doing?

Okay. Can I get you some lunch, Mrs. Hart?

No, thanks, that's all right.

[Both sigh]

This hospital food is beginning to bore me.

I know, darling, but try to have a bite.

Is this your tape recorder?

The chef always tries to surprise me.

[Rattling]

Don't move.

[Gasps]

[Harmon] "Dear Mr. Hart." Hmm, that's funny. "Mr. Hart."

She saw you every day at the office,

but she always thought of you as Mr. Hart.

I tried to tell her she was not thinking clearly.

Maybe she wasn't.

It was very hard for Alice to think clearly

'cause she was in love with you.

She tried to write you so many times before,

but she never had the courage to send any of her letters.

So this one I'm going to deliver for her.

Myself. For you.

With love,

from your Alice.

[Click]

We found that in Jonathan's room.

Jonathan, who is Alice?

When Jennifer first played the tape, I had no idea.

But then when I heard it again, I...

I think it's a girl that used to work for hart industries.

She, uh, worked there for many years.

As a matter of fact, uh, I had to insist

that she called me Jonathan.

But she never would.

She'd always call me...

"Mr. Hart."

Her name is Alice harmon. She worked in accounting.

She got ill and then she left.

What did that guy Shakespeare say?

"Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned."

It's revenge she wants.

She doesn't want anything.

She's dead.

A notice came to the office that she had passed away.

I'll run a check on her family and friends.

Then I'll come back here and I'll let you know what I found.

- We won't be here. - [Grey] What?

We're going home tonight.

I've already called Max. He's coming to get us.

But what about your treatments here?

My last test is at 6:00.

Then all that remains is for me to take the bandages off

in 48 hours and see if my eyes have healed.

[Jonathan] Darling? [Jennifer] Mm-hmm?

You see that basket of fruit over on the nightstand?

Yes.

There's an apple in it.

So there is. Do you want it?

Yes.

But don't bring it to me.

Toss it to me.

Toss it?

Toss it.

Are you sure?

All right. Here goes.

That was great.

Not bad, huh?

How did you do that?

Jim taught me.

[Chuckles]

Oh, that's great.

That's fantastic.

Darling. What?

When they take the bandages off tomorrow...

Suppose...

I can't see.

Jonathan...

There's not a single thing in the whole world

that will ever change the way I feel about you.

All right?

All right.

- You'll have to take care of me. - Oh. Are you kidding?

We have to take care of each other.

And from what I've just seen...

You can take pretty good care of yourself already.

So, I'll just finish packing all this up.

[Knock on door]

[Woman on P.A.] Dr. Smith, call your office...

Excuse me, uh, but we've just run a check on Alice harmon.

Her mother and father died 15 years ago.

No friends to speak of,

and the only relative is a brother,

Arnold harmon.

Did you talk to him?

Oh, one week after Alice died,

Arnold was committed to a state hospital.

He escaped last week.

He did?

Well, that explains it, then.

If he was familiar with the hospital routine,

he could have come and gone around here without anyone noticing him.

Well, I spoke, uh, with the head of the hospital,

and it seems that harmon

had an unusual attachment for his sister,

but his doctor feels he's harmless.

Well, perhaps his doctor ought to have another look at his inkblots.

I agree.

Jonathan, are you ready to leave?

Yes, I am, lieutenant.

All right. I'll check with Max and see if the car is ready.

Darling...

Let's go home, huh?

I know you don't like the chair, Mr. Hart,

but it's hospital rules.

[Max] Mr. H. [Jonathan] Max.

It's sure good to see you.

Would you put those up, please?

Yeah, certainly.

Thanks.

Thank you, Peggy.

Oh, good luck, Mr. Hart.

[Jonathan] Bye-bye.

[Max] Watch your head.

[Car engine starting]

Here we are.

Welcome home.

We're sure glad to have you back.

Sure good to be here.

Just a little bit farther.

You made yourself bacon for lunch, Max?

Hey, you're psychic.

Better get used to it, Max.

Straight ahead, darling.

I'll go get freeway. He's dying to see you.

We're heading toward the white chair closest to the bar.

Mm-hmm.

There.

[Intercom buzzing]

- Yeah? - [Man] Flower delivery.

Flower delivery? Come around back.

The kitchen door.

[Freeway barking]

- Freeway... freeway. - Oh.

Guess who's happy to see you?

- Hello. - [Freeway barking]

Yes. Daddy's home.

Hi. Hi.

Uh, could you please help me?

There's quite a lot of bouquets.

Sure, I'll give you a hand. Thanks.

Darling.mm-hmm.

I realize that this is a moment for celebration,

but since we can't pop any champagne

because of your medication,

I think I'll just go get us some juice.

Darling, why don't you change into something more comfortable?

I can ask Max to fix me the juice.

Or better yet, I can fix it myself.

- You're sure? - Mm.

Okay.

You be careful.

Mm.

Everything's in the same place.

It's all right. It's all right.

It's all right, darling. It's over.

It's over. No.

[Groans]

Take these off, will you? It's killing me.

- No, darling. The doctor said you're not supposed to. - Please, take 'em off!

Can you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I can.

- Morning. - [Jonathan] Morning, Max.

[Jennifer] Max, how thoughtful.

Ah, that looks great and smells great.

Broccoli and fish for breakfast?

Mr. H. Thinks he's still back at the hospital.

Last night, he checked out a list

of exactly what he wanted today.

Uh-huh. Enjoy.

Thanks, Max. Come on, freeway.

I got your breakfast

in the kitchen.

See, I believe

that when a person comes home from the hospital,

they should get whatever they want,

whenever they want it. I see.

Now, darling, I know you've been through a lot, but...

You're not gonna start becoming difficult, are you?

Difficult? Mm-hmm.

No.

I'm gonna become...

Very easy.

Now, you're supposed to take things slowly.

Oh, I'm gonna take it very slowly.

Ooh. Mmm.

You know what the doctor's orders are? What?

Stay in bed.

[Chuckles]
