00:00:00Let me die. Let me die.

00:00:30Let me die.

00:01:00Let me die.

00:01:30Let me die.

00:02:01I should have known he was as good as dead when they wheeled him in.

00:02:04You did everything possible, everything you could, Dr. Cooley.

00:02:08Everything?

00:02:10Everything except save my patients.

00:02:14Everything in the books.

00:02:22Now, Dad, do I have permission to take over and try things my way?

00:02:28The operating room is no place to experiment.

00:02:31He's dead. I can't do any harm.

00:02:35Very well. The corpse is yours.

00:02:39Do what you want to do.

00:02:41All right.

00:02:43Make an opening into the chest cavity.

00:02:46Apply 100 milliamps of current directly to the heart, then massage by hand.

00:02:49I'll handle the brain area.

00:02:52By yourself?

00:02:53By myself.

00:03:22I'll handle the brain area.

00:03:27I'll handle the brain area.

00:03:32I'll handle the brain area.

00:03:37I'll handle the brain area.

00:03:42I'll handle the brain area.

00:04:02You have to work fast if it isn't too late.

00:04:07You talk as if he's still alive.

00:04:09You talk as if he's still alive.

00:04:12He is.

00:04:14I just picked up a faint pulse beat.

00:04:17Keep massaging the heart.

00:04:18I am, I am.

00:04:21These electric shocks should stimulate the motor area enough to innervate the heart again.

00:04:25Then he won't need any external stimuli.

00:04:28Keep away from the motor area.

00:04:30You'll paralyze him for good.

00:04:32Which would you rather be, paralyzed or dead?

00:04:34Try to play God.

00:04:36Some choices are not yours to make.

00:04:38When the obstetrician has to decide which to save, the mother or the child, who plays God then?

00:04:43It's part of the game.

00:04:44Game?

00:04:46The human body is not a jigsaw puzzle to experiment on.

00:04:50Still playing it safe like the other doctors, hmm?

00:04:53I just want to save my breath.

00:04:54Keep massaging the heart.

00:04:56You've already lost your patient, doctor. I'm going to save mine.

00:04:59His pulse is coming back stronger than ever.

00:05:02It's unbelievable.

00:05:04Nothing's unbelievable if you have the nerve to experiment.

00:05:07I've been working on something like this for weeks.

00:05:10In your laboratory?

00:05:13I knew this would work if only I had the opportunity.

00:05:15You don't conduct experiments on people.

00:05:18You should be sure of the results first.

00:05:23I am now.

00:05:25Stop massaging the heart.

00:05:28Let's see if it can take over by itself.

00:05:31Let's see if it can take over by itself.

00:05:48All right.

00:05:50Close up the chest.

00:05:52I'm about finished with the cerebral area.

00:05:56How's his pulse?

00:05:57Strong and steady.

00:06:00How's his pulse?

00:06:21You did provoke a miracle.

00:06:24I may not approve of your methods, but...

00:06:27I am proud of your results.

00:07:01That was amazing.

00:07:04Even an extraordinary operation, son.

00:07:07But it's still too risky.

00:07:09Too uncontrolled.

00:07:11He saved his life.

00:07:14The aftereffects?

00:07:16What about them?

00:07:18You've lost the urge to experiment.

00:07:21To explore.

00:07:31You don't explore on people.

00:07:34Before you put a scalpel to one,

00:07:36an operation like this needs testing under every condition.

00:07:39Over and over again.

00:07:42Rabbits, mice, monkeys.

00:07:44Not people.

00:07:46That man who should be dead now won't think so.

00:07:50There's more to surgery than just being a carpenter to patch up walls.

00:07:54Or a plumber to drain pipes.

00:07:55Our bodies are capable of adjusting in ways we've hardly dreamt of.

00:08:00If we can only find the key.

00:08:03I'm so close now, so very close.

00:08:07The key to what?

00:08:09Complete transplantations.

00:08:11To be able to transplant limbs and organs.

00:08:15To be able to replace diseased and damaged parts of the body

00:08:18as easily as we replace eye corneas now.

00:08:21So that the new parts will join together.

00:08:23So that the new parts will join together as though they were born there.

00:08:28It can't be done.

00:08:31It can be done.

00:08:37With my new special compound I've created, I'll do it.

00:08:39I know I can do it.

00:08:40Sure, sure. That's what you say.

00:08:42That's what I know.

00:08:43I know I'm close.

00:08:49Darling, I'm so proud of you. I could kiss you.

00:08:51Promises, huh?

00:08:52Always promises.

00:08:54Careful, your father's liable to report us.

00:08:57Stop the floor show?

00:08:59When you two are married it won't be fun to watch anymore.

00:09:02I can promise you one thing.

00:09:03Your grandchildren won't be test tube babies.

00:09:06You'd better hurry if you want to catch that plane to Denver, Dad.

00:09:09You know that medical convention can't start without you.

00:09:13Jan, you'd better check about my reservations.

00:09:16Oh yes, I'll call the airport.

00:09:17I'll be right back.

00:09:22Bill,

00:09:24the line between scientific genius and obsessive fanaticism is a thin one.

00:09:29I want you on the right side of it.

00:09:31If I don't experiment, how can I hope to perform operations like the one you almost messed up?

00:09:35But I can't cover up for you anymore.

00:09:38The superintendent had a doubt with me.

00:09:40He thinks it's you who's been stealing those limbs from the amputee operations.

00:09:44So what if it is?

00:09:46I've got to have limbs for my transplant experiments.

00:09:48Well, you said test and experiment.

00:09:49Test and experiment.

00:09:50Yes, but limbs and organs taken from people.

00:09:54I've got to have them to work with.

00:09:57Sure, I've made a few mistakes.

00:10:00But I've learned from them.

00:10:01I've learned.

00:10:06Your reservations are all set.

00:10:083.30 takeoff.

00:10:11Well, what have you two planned for the weekend?

00:10:14Oh, nothing much.

00:10:15It's a quiet weekend.

00:10:17Are you sure you're not going up to the country house?

00:10:20You're always sneaking off up there.

00:10:22The place gives me the creeps.

00:10:24I should have sold it when your mother died.

00:10:26You can't sell that place.

00:10:28Well, I mean, it's nice to get away from the city.

00:10:30I can work without anyone snooping around.

00:10:32You spend too much time up there.

00:10:35All right, I'll see you both in a few days.

00:10:38I've got to clean up and get out of here.

00:10:39Fine operation or not, Bill,

00:10:41you're walking on thin ice.

00:10:44Don't go too far.

00:10:53Oh, every time you touch me, I go out of my mind.

00:10:57I want to kiss you.

00:10:59Bill, I want to get married.

00:11:01I can't stand not having you.

00:11:03I can't stand not having you.

00:11:05I can't stand not having you.

00:11:07I can't stand not having you.

00:11:09You've been wonderful.

00:11:11I'd rather be a bride.

00:11:13In a few more weeks.

00:11:16And nothing will keep us apart.

00:11:18We'll be together.

00:11:32Dr. Gardner!

00:11:39I'm so glad you're here.

00:11:41I was afraid you'd gotten away.

00:11:43There was a very important phone message that came to you.

00:11:45It sounded quite urgent.

00:11:47I've been looking everywhere.

00:11:49It was from a man called Kurt.

00:11:51He called from the country place

00:11:53and he said something terrible has happened.

00:11:55He wanted you to come right out.

00:12:01Well, you've always wanted to know

00:12:03what's kept me away from you so many weekends.

00:12:05Have you got the keys to your car?

00:12:10Why haven't you ever taken help here before?

00:12:12Because the things I'm working on don't need an audience.

00:12:14That telephone call.

00:12:16What about it?

00:12:18All right, all right.

00:12:20Hold off the questions.

00:12:22Why the mystery, Bill?

00:12:24What's it all about?

00:12:26We'll be there soon enough.

00:12:28You'll see.

00:12:30I've got to hurry.

00:12:39I've got to hurry.

00:17:22I'm coming.

00:17:23What's the matter?

00:17:24What's happened to you?

00:17:25I've got a terrible accident.

00:17:26I've got to save her.

00:17:27I've got to save her.

00:17:28What is it?

00:17:29What have you got there?

00:17:30Kurt, please.

00:17:31Sterilize the wound.

00:17:32Kurt, please.

00:17:33Kurt, please.

00:17:34Kurt, please.

00:17:35Kurt, please.

00:17:36Sterilize the tubes and instruments quickly.

00:17:38What are you going to do?

00:17:39Aren't you going to have a look in the closet first?

00:17:40No, I can't now.

00:17:41This is more important.

00:17:42But you don't understand.

00:17:43For God's sake, Kurt.

00:17:44This is urgent.

00:17:45Do as I tell you before it's too late.

00:19:35I can't waste precious time arguing with you.

00:19:58My, it's... I saw them move.

00:20:03It can't be.

00:20:07My eyes are deceiving me.

00:20:10What you see is real.

00:20:13What's done is done and what I've done is right.

00:20:16It's the work of science.

00:20:29I remember...

00:20:32fire...

00:20:37burning.

00:20:44Let me die.

00:20:49Let me die.

00:20:53I've had success with transplants. Now I can do it for her.

00:20:59That's bad.

00:21:01To what?

00:21:03I brought her back.

00:21:05She'll live and I'll get her another body.

00:21:07I can make her complete again.

00:21:10Only a madman can believe that she could ever be like before.

00:21:15Don't argue with me.

00:21:17I love her too much to let her stay like this.

00:21:20I'll restore her as before.

00:21:22You'll see.

00:21:24Can't you realize?

00:21:26Can't you see? There's a pattern to all that lives.

00:21:30An order, an arrangement.

00:21:32She had a heart and a brain and a spirit was in both.

00:21:36Not in one or the other.

00:21:38No.

00:21:40I give her a brain and a heart.

00:21:42Yes, and what of her soul?

00:21:46You say you love her.

00:21:48You can remember her love for you.

00:21:51Then how can you make of her an experiment of horror?

00:21:55All the skill and science I possess was meant for this.

00:21:59Life has a pattern.

00:22:01The whole pattern of my life is shaping itself to save her now.

00:22:05Then you intend to go through with it.

00:22:07Yes.

00:22:12Sleep, my darling.

00:22:15Rest and grow stronger.

00:22:26How long do you think we can keep her alive under these conditions?

00:22:30Forty-eight.

00:22:32Fifty hours at the most.

00:22:34Yes.

00:22:36And you really believe you can work a transplant on her?

00:22:41Successfully.

00:22:42Yes.

00:22:46Like my arm.

00:22:48Withered and deformed.

00:22:50Yours was an early experiment that failed.

00:22:53With her, I'm using my new adrenoserum.

00:22:56Must work.

00:23:00I've got to go now.

00:23:04If the police or anyone call,

00:23:08tell them you don't know anything about it.

00:23:11I don't think anyone will trace us here because you're my friend.

00:23:15Tell them you don't know anything about it.

00:23:18I don't think anyone will trace us here because your body was burned in the wreckage.

00:23:22Yes, of course, of course.

00:23:24Look, Bill, before you go,

00:23:26do have a look in that closet.

00:23:28It's the reason why I called you up here.

00:23:30Shh.

00:24:01Shh.

00:24:20Keep it locked.

00:24:22Last night, it got so wild, it almost broke out.

00:24:25Oh.

00:24:26No, not through that. Let's keep it closed.

00:24:30All right.

00:24:34I've got to think about her now.

00:24:39I've got to find her a body.

00:24:41Oh, you're going to go about getting one.

00:24:47Bill, how will you do it?

00:24:50There are ways.

00:24:55There are ways.

00:25:00There are ways.

00:25:30Jimmy.

00:25:33Jimmy, Jimmy.

00:25:39Jimmy.

00:25:43Jimmy.

00:26:01Jimmy.

00:26:04Jimmy, Jimmy.

00:26:30Jimmy.

00:26:35Whoa.

00:26:39Whoa.

00:26:48Jimmy.

00:26:53Jimmy.

00:27:00Jimmy.

00:27:17Jimmy.

00:27:21Jimmy.

00:27:24Jimmy, Jimmy.

00:27:26Jimmy.

00:27:56Jimmy.

00:27:59Jimmy.

00:28:02Jimmy.

00:28:05Jimmy.

00:28:08Jimmy.

00:28:11Jimmy.

00:28:14Jimmy.

00:28:17Jimmy.

00:28:20Jimmy.

00:28:23Jimmy.

00:28:26Jimmy.

00:28:29Jimmy.

00:28:32Jimmy.

00:28:35Jimmy.

00:28:38Jimmy.

00:28:41Jimmy.

00:28:56Jimmy.

00:29:26Jimmy.

00:29:37What took you so long?

00:29:39What made you think I'd come?

00:29:41You know a good thing when you say it.

00:29:43Yeah, there was plenty to see.

00:29:46I liked your act.

00:29:47Is that all you liked?

00:29:49Well, your costume, what there was of it, was interesting.

00:29:52Is that all?

00:29:54The rest of the equipment is standard.

00:29:57But, uh, the arrangement is pretty special.

00:30:03You know, a tourist just looking at the sights.

00:30:06What are you doing here, slumming?

00:30:08I get my allowance once a week.

00:30:10Okay, if you're so loaded.

00:30:12You pay for the drinks.

00:30:14I already did.

00:30:16Are you hustling for the house?

00:30:18I hustle for myself.

00:30:21I'm the leading lady around here.

00:30:24I can sit with the squares out front.

00:30:27Or I can relax back here with my friends.

00:30:31I'll bet you don't have an enemy in the world.

00:30:34Hmm?

00:30:51Let me die.

00:31:00Let me die.

00:31:08Where are you from?

00:31:09Around. Just looking around.

00:31:12When you get done looking, then what?

00:31:16I operate.

00:31:18I get your message.

00:31:19You're coming across.

00:31:22You could flip any chick in the house.

00:31:25Why me?

00:31:27Oh, like I said, I'm looking.

00:31:29Well, you don't have to look any further.

00:31:31I'm not going to fake it for you.

00:31:34When do you go on again, hmm? When?

00:31:37Relax. I got another show yet.

00:31:40But it could be for you.

00:31:42Oh, I was just asking.

00:31:45Try taking.

00:31:48I'm getting nervous.

00:31:50I'm over 21.

00:31:53No, it isn't that.

00:31:54It's I just got things to do.

00:31:56Things to take care of.

00:31:59Well, if I don't exactly make you sick,

00:32:00what could be more important that could be taken care of right now?

00:32:06Well, I've, uh...

00:32:08I've got to see about helping somebody.

00:32:11Somebody who needs my help very badly.

00:32:13You can't cut out of me now, baby.

00:32:15Now when you've got me feeling so good,

00:32:18so warm all over,

00:32:21I'm good for you.

00:32:23I know I'm good for what you want.

00:32:27You may be just what I'm looking for.

00:32:37You've got your nerve.

00:32:39Oh, look who's talking.

00:32:42Why'd you haul your feet?

00:32:43I thought he'd fax you the ball with the rest of the flies.

00:32:46Keep your G's straight on.

00:32:47I only came in here to change my clothes.

00:32:50I got admission.

00:32:51Now I'd like to see the rest of the show.

00:32:54Come back in half an hour and maybe you will.

00:32:57Get lost.

00:33:00Hi, lover boy.

00:33:02I see you've met the queen.

00:33:05Hey.

00:33:08Come here, don't hide.

00:33:09You know, you've got the kind of face a girl doesn't mind looking at.

00:33:13Even out front all the other girls are asking about you.

00:33:16Get out of here.

00:33:17Choose company.

00:33:18Three's a crowd.

00:33:20Who's to tell me to blow if I don't want to?

00:33:23This here's my dressing room too, remember?

00:33:26It kills her to see me make time.

00:33:29You're the only thing that's going to be made around here tonight.

00:33:32I'll eat your heart out.

00:33:35Yeah.

00:33:36Yeah.

00:33:37I'd better be going.

00:33:38Hmm?

00:33:39What for?

00:33:40Look what you've done.

00:33:41You come back and see what she says?

00:33:44Let me see you later.

00:33:46I'll make everything up to you.

00:33:47I swear I will.

00:33:49Yeah.

00:33:50Come on back later.

00:33:52I'll remember you.

00:33:54Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

00:34:02You lousy tramp.

00:34:04Once in a blue moon, I walked into a bar with class and you messed it up.

00:34:09Eh.

00:34:10What makes you think you had it?

00:34:12It would have you on it, Beth.

00:34:14Beth who?

00:34:15Beth, me.

00:34:17What's a guy like that want with leftovers for?

00:34:20Leftovers?

00:34:22Why, you cheap third-rate stripper.

00:34:25You unholy whore.

00:34:27Leave me.

00:34:28Leave me.

00:34:29Let go.

00:34:32Let go.

00:34:33Let go.

00:34:34Let go.

00:34:35Let go.

00:34:36Let go.

00:34:37Let go.

00:34:38Let go.

00:34:39Let go.

00:34:40Let go.

00:34:41Let go.

00:34:42Let go.

00:34:43Let go.

00:34:44Let go.

00:34:45Let go.

00:34:46Let go.

00:34:47Let go.

00:34:48Let go.

00:34:49Let go.

00:34:50Let go.

00:34:51Let go.

00:34:52Let go.

00:34:53Let go.

00:34:54Let go.

00:34:55Let go.

00:34:56Let go.

00:34:57Let go.

00:34:58Let go.

00:34:59Let go.

00:35:00Let go.

00:35:01LET GO.

00:35:18You!

00:35:22Inside the closet.

00:35:25What has he done to you?

00:35:32I know there's someone there.

00:35:39Knock once if you hear me.

00:36:01Then I'm not the first.

00:36:10Knock twice if I'm not the first.

00:36:21He should have let me die.

00:36:27I hate him for what he's done to me.

00:36:31He only knew what it's like being like this.

00:36:38Do you know what it's like?

00:36:47Together we could have revenge.

00:36:52You want revenge?

00:37:01Yes.

00:37:14Yes.

00:37:16The thing inside of me, the thing I'm dear.

00:37:21My brain's still untouched.

00:37:24And his keeping me alive has given me a power he didn't count on.

00:37:31A power that you can feel.

00:37:34Across this room and through that door.

00:37:38Can't you?

00:38:01Together we're both more than things.

00:38:05We're a power as hideous as our deformities.

00:38:09Together we'll wreak our revenge.

00:38:14I shall create power and you will enforce it.

00:38:21You're the thing inside.

00:38:25You're the thing I'm dear.

00:38:31You're the thing I hate.

00:39:01THE END

00:39:31THE END

00:40:02THE END

00:40:13What's locked behind that door?

00:40:17Horror.

00:40:19No normal mind can imagine.

00:40:22Something even more terrible than you.

00:40:25No, my deformed friend.

00:40:28Like all quantities, horror has its ultimate.

00:40:32And I'm that.

00:40:34No, there is a horror beyond yours.

00:40:38And it's in there.

00:40:40Locked behind that door.

00:40:44The paths of experimentation twist and turn through mountains of miscalculation

00:40:49and often lose themselves in error and darkness.

00:40:53Behind that door is the sum total of Dr. Cordon's mistakes.

00:41:02He had no right to bring me back to this.

00:41:07Perhaps not.

00:41:09Who knows?

00:41:11But you should know

00:41:13that before he injected the serum into that,

00:41:17it was but a mass of grafted tissues, lifeless.

00:41:22Just lay there, weighted down with its transplants of broken limbs and amputated arms.

00:41:28But with this serum,

00:41:30it began to breathe.

00:41:33It's impossible.

00:41:36Would you have thought possible what he's already done?

00:41:40Take yourself.

00:41:42He's brought you back.

00:41:44You live.

00:41:47Only a few years ago,

00:41:49all transplants were impossible.

00:41:52That's what he's been doing up here where no one could see his work.

00:41:57Yes.

00:41:59Experimenting with transplants on that.

00:42:02And on me.

00:42:05But he can

00:42:07tear away my flesh time after time,

00:42:10test after test.

00:42:12My hopes shattering with each grafted arm he fastened to me.

00:42:16Watching it

00:42:18wither and warp.

00:42:22Instead of strengthening.

00:42:27You see,

00:42:29he's learned from his mistakes.

00:42:34And you stayed with him,

00:42:37helping him in his grotesque work that he claims is for science.

00:42:43Was there a place for me on the outside?

00:42:46This

00:42:48world where

00:42:50eyes would look upon me with pity

00:42:53and people would turn away from me in disgust.

00:42:58No.

00:43:00The alcoholic has his bottle.

00:43:03The dope addict, his needle.

00:43:08I had my research.

00:43:11I used to be a surgeon.

00:43:13This was my life.

00:43:16And one night in the laboratory there,

00:43:19there was an accident.

00:43:22They had to amputate my arm.

00:43:29And

00:43:31he has used you to...

00:43:34I had no choice.

00:43:36He was my only hope.

00:43:38A surgeon needs both his arms, not just one.

00:43:42You see my

00:43:43transplanted grotesqueness stayed.

00:43:46So did I.

00:43:48I live only for the day he can work a successful transplant to my body.

00:43:53That is why I stay.

00:43:56Transplant

00:43:58my head onto another body?

00:44:01Yes.

00:44:03And he's insane with the belief he can do it.

00:44:07But the tissues of my body would reject the tissues of another.

00:44:11Reject it as the foreign substance it is.

00:44:14The transplant would never take, it would never stay in place.

00:44:18That means antibodies would attack it as they attack any invading matter.

00:44:23Yes, but his new discovery,

00:44:26this new serum, may change all that.

00:44:30This serum injected into the bloodstream

00:44:33affects the lymphoid tissues.

00:44:35Here in the neck.

00:44:37The lymphoids that provide the antibodies

00:44:39to the blood that detect foreign transplanted matter.

00:44:42It was untested, untried,

00:44:45until we used it on you.

00:44:47So

00:44:49that liquid in the blood that's being pumped through what's left of me

00:44:55is what makes me feel that...

00:45:03He may produce results he didn't ask for.

00:45:06He may produce results he didn't ask for.

00:45:09Results?

00:45:11You mean

00:45:13like this?

00:45:16Results more terrible than your arm of relative beauty.

00:45:21Results of power.

00:45:24Of magnitude.

00:45:26Power?

00:45:28What power?

00:45:31Can't you see that you're at the mercy of every element of the universe?

00:45:34How can you speak of power?

00:45:37I am a power.

00:45:39This liquid that he's pumped into me,

00:45:42my brain burns with it.

00:45:46That thing inside and I are in touch.

00:45:49Want me to prove it?

00:45:51You can prove nothing.

00:45:53You're powerless.

00:45:56I'll show you how powerless I am.

00:46:02You

00:46:05behind that door.

00:46:15Let me know if you hear me.

00:46:21Whoever,

00:46:23whatever you are,

00:46:26I command you,

00:46:30you understand me.

00:46:34I'm only a head.

00:46:37And you're whatever you are.

00:46:41Together we're strong.

00:46:44More powerful than any of them.

00:46:58Where are you running from? What's wrong with you?

00:47:02It's you.

00:47:04Something wrong, something beyond control in that room.

00:47:08There's nothing beyond my control.

00:47:10She's alive and I'll keep her alive until I find her a body.

00:47:14I can't talk anymore. I'm tired. I've got to go to sleep.

00:47:17And you, you didn't find her a body?

00:47:20Well, I've got to be careful.

00:47:22I can't afford to be identified as the last person seen with a girl before she disappears.

00:47:25Do you think you did one?

00:47:31There are many things left for tomorrow.

00:47:34Good night.

00:48:34Hi, I was about to call a cop the way you were looking me over.

00:48:38How have you been, Bill?

00:48:40Oh, just fine, Donna.

00:48:42I haven't seen you for quite a while.

00:48:44Too long. I'm still waiting for that call you once promised me.

00:48:47And you know how it is with interns.

00:48:49All work.

00:48:51All work and no play even makes for dull doctors.

00:48:54I've got to go.

00:48:56Good night.

00:48:58Good night.

00:49:00Good night.

00:49:02Good night.

00:49:04Doctor, you're going to lose that bedside manner of yours.

00:49:08Say, how's that little side course in anatomy?

00:49:12Yours? Anytime.

00:49:14No, not mine. A body-beautiful contest.

00:49:16You know, bathing suit models.

00:49:18Plenty of females on the hook.

00:49:20Your eyes will have a field day.

00:49:22Why not?

00:49:24You're just what the doctor ordered.

00:49:26Come on, jump in.

00:49:31On second thought,

00:49:32I just remembered I've got to stop by my place

00:49:34and take care of a few things.

00:49:36It'll only take a minute. You don't mind, do you?

00:49:38I always follow the doctor's orders.

00:49:40Anything you prescribe, I'll take.

00:49:42That's what I like about you, Donna.

00:49:44Always so obliging.

00:49:49Hey, Donna, where are you going?

00:49:51What's the hurry?

00:49:53Hi, Jeanie. We're going to look for some bodies.

00:49:55You mean the contest, yeah.

00:49:57Got any room for me?

00:49:59Oh, sure. Plenty.

00:50:01Hop in, but first we've got to stop off at his place.

00:50:03Sure.

00:50:14As a matter of fact, I can wait.

00:50:16Now that there's two of you, we'll have to wait.

00:50:18Guess he thinks there's safety in numbers.

00:50:21Not this time, Maria.

00:50:23He promised not to hurt you.

00:50:25And I promised not to hurt you.

00:50:31Bill, this?

00:50:33Yeah, that's fine.

00:50:40Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

00:50:42Well, it looks like we're about ready to go.

00:50:44Backstage are five of the girls

00:50:46who have reached the contest final.

00:50:48And we are here to choose Miss Body Beautiful.

00:50:51Now, we've eliminated the contestants

00:50:53who have reached the final.

00:50:55We've eliminated the contestants

00:50:57who have reached the final.

00:50:58Miss Body Beautiful.

00:51:00Now, we've eliminated everyone

00:51:02except the five finalists.

00:51:04And they will be judged solely by your applause.

00:51:06So let's bring them on.

00:51:08First, Helen Appleton.

00:51:29Betty Proctor.

00:51:45Terri Lund.

00:51:59Heidi Howard.

00:52:16She has the second nicest body I've ever seen.

00:52:19Is there a second to you?

00:52:21No, another girl, a figure model.

00:52:23You remember that one in school years ago?

00:52:25The one who had the accident?

00:52:26Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:52:28Doris, uh...

00:52:30Doris Powell.

00:52:31Yeah, she still around?

00:52:33Few people see her nowadays.

00:52:35She just stays in her studio posing

00:52:37for art classes and camera books.

00:52:42Figure model.

00:52:44Poses for art classes.

00:52:47The nicest body she's ever seen.

00:52:50The nicest body.

00:52:53Maybe this is the one.

00:52:54She's got to be.

00:52:56I can keep Jan alive only for a few more hours.

00:52:59I've got to find her a body.

00:53:15He...

00:53:17He intends to kill somebody.

00:53:20To rob them of their body.

00:53:21To rob them of their body.

00:53:25Do you hear me?

00:53:31Yes, you hear me.

00:53:35You know how Bill's egotism drives him on and on.

00:53:39To infamy upon infamy.

00:53:45He could ever be born of evil.

00:53:52Yet he claims his work is for the...

00:53:56Humanity.

00:54:04To be joined to flesh not your own.

00:54:10What's human in this?

00:54:13Of how you must exist.

00:54:16Walk behind that door.

00:54:17Walk behind that door.

00:54:21We've got to stop him.

00:54:47THE END

00:59:06Am I so appealing to you now?

00:59:11Still so interested.

00:59:17Doesn't it make you sick?

00:59:23You don't even turn away from me, like everyone else does.

00:59:30To me you're not ugly. I see only beauty in you.

00:59:33You have a lovely body and a face that can be made beautiful again also.

00:59:38Yeah. I've heard that song before.

00:59:43I'm a doctor, I know. My father's one of the leading plastic surgeons.

00:59:47If anyone can help you, we can. I know I can.

00:59:50I've been to doctors. It's no use.

00:59:53The scar tissue's too deep. No one can help me.

00:59:57That was a few years ago. Today, nothing's hopeless.

01:00:01We can graft scar and skin tissue.

01:00:04We can even freeze areas of the skin and sand away damaged skin tissues.

01:00:11The way you say that, that look in your eyes, I almost want to believe you.

01:00:18I almost want to believe you.

01:00:21Well, then start believing, hmm?

01:00:31Even if your father could help me, I couldn't pay him the kind of money it would take.

01:00:46Don't talk about money. He does a lot of work without any charge.

01:00:52Why should you want to do this for me?

01:00:56What's in it for you?

01:00:59I'm going to make your face beautiful again.

01:01:02Cut it off and give your body away.

01:01:10I'm sorry, Bill.

01:01:14I have been knocked around so many times.

01:01:19I've lost count.

01:01:21It's tough living with this.

01:01:24I don't mean to sound ungrateful.

01:01:27You've been battered around, don't go sour.

01:01:29You shouldn't lose your trust in people, not all of us.

01:01:34I believe you. I want to.

01:01:38Do you really think something can be done?

01:01:41Only my father knows.

01:01:43Look, we have a country place just out of town.

01:01:45He's visiting for the weekend. I could take you there now for a consultation.

01:01:49You mean tonight?

01:01:50Well, if you'd rather wait till he comes back.

01:01:52Oh, no, no. I mean, he wouldn't be annoyed being bothered with me so late at night.

01:01:56Well, you let me do the worrying, hmm?

01:01:59I'll do anything that'll help me get rid of this face.

01:02:03Well, that's where I commit.

01:02:05Remember the last time I helped you?

01:02:11Where are you going?

01:02:13Who are you calling?

01:02:14My girlfriend. I want to tell her the news.

01:02:17Before you know what the verdict's going to be?

01:02:21You're right. I shouldn't talk until I know what's going to happen.

01:02:25Well, my girlfriend, she's supposed to drop in later. I'll have to leave her a note or something.

01:02:29Well, just tell her you'll see her later.

01:02:31Otherwise, she'll ask a lot of nosy questions. We want to be sure of her.

01:02:34Just throw something on, huh?

01:02:36I'll be with you in a minute.

01:02:39Just tell her you'll keep in touch.

01:02:42I'll leave it on the table. She'll see it.

01:02:46Had to go out with old friend Bill Cortner.

01:02:50I'll call you tomorrow.

01:02:53Doris.

01:02:56Here.

01:02:59I'm sorry.

01:03:00I'm sorry.

01:03:01I'm sorry.

01:03:02I'm sorry.

01:03:03I'm sorry.

01:03:04I'm sorry.

01:03:05I'm sorry.

01:03:06Here.

01:03:12I'll leave it on the lamp.

01:03:18She'll see it, won't she?

01:03:20That's the first place she'll look.

01:03:22I'll leave the lights on for her.

01:03:31I have waited so long for this.

01:03:34So have I.

01:03:48Again.

01:03:49Hit it again.

01:03:55I've got to see your hideousness.

01:03:58You've got to see mine.

01:04:01I wonder which of us is more awful.

01:04:07Nothing you can be is more terrible than what I am.

01:04:12A head without a body.

01:04:17A head that should be in its grave.

01:04:23I hate him.

01:04:26I hate him for what he's done to me.

01:04:31Can your horror match mine?

01:04:36Quiet.

01:04:37Someone's coming.

01:04:39Quiet.

01:04:58I have come to feed your friend.

01:05:02While you feed yourself with hate, it prefers food.

01:05:06Your former sniveling fear becomes you more.

01:05:17What makes you think I'm afraid of what's in there?

01:05:20Or of you?

01:05:22A mere head in search of a body.

01:05:26People fear what they don't understand.

01:05:30And what they can't see.

01:05:32What are you talking about?

01:05:36You're nothing but a freak of life.

01:05:39And a freak of death.

01:05:41Why should I be afraid of a few knocks on the door?

01:05:45Last night you ran.

01:05:47You were afraid of what you imagined lay behind that door.

01:05:51I?

01:05:55Imagined?

01:05:58It was I who helped grab together the bits and pieces that were stolen from the hospital.

01:06:02An amputated arm, a leg, a torso.

01:06:05It was I who helped piece them together like a monstrous jigsaw puzzle.

01:06:09And that same medicine that he's fed to me to activate my lymphoid tissues.

01:06:15Has he fed it to that?

01:06:17No.

01:06:19No, on that he used an earlier formula.

01:06:22It wasn't as successful as the serum he's using on you.

01:06:25But it was enough to allow the transplants to take.

01:06:30If your experiment is successful...

01:06:34Then it'll be my turn.

01:06:37And what else has happened to it?

01:06:41You mean what else?

01:06:46Well, it's...

01:06:48It's mutated some, of course.

01:06:51It's changed considerably.

01:06:55Why don't you open the door?

01:06:58And we'll both see how it's changed.

01:07:00Listen, you. I warn you.

01:07:02You better stop pestering me, do you hear?

01:07:04I'm getting fed up with you and your insidious talk.

01:07:07He should have cut out your tongue while he was at it.

01:07:10Afraid?

01:07:13Afraid of whom?

01:07:15Of you?

01:07:17No.

01:07:18Not anymore.

01:07:20But of it?

01:07:23Nor of it.

01:07:33You know, he keeps it locked in there so that...

01:07:36It'll be safe, that's all.

01:07:39Safe?

01:07:41For me?

01:07:48You beast.

01:07:52I hope he prolongs your existence into a lifetime of agony.

01:07:56Then we'll see who's laughing at whom.

01:07:58You miserable fool.

01:08:00You miserable fool.

01:08:02Get him.

01:08:11Get him.

01:08:21Kill him.

01:08:30Kill him.

01:09:00No, no.

01:09:30Kill him.

01:10:00No.

01:10:30No.

01:10:33Kill him.

01:11:01You and your father live here?

01:11:04Only on weekends when we want to get away from the city.

01:11:07This place certainly is lonely.

01:11:10Well, the further from prying eyes, the better.

01:11:12I mean, it's nice and quiet here.

01:11:14We can get away from the noise and telephones.

01:11:16Oh, I guess it is.

01:11:18Well, sit down, sit down. I'll fix us a drink, huh?

01:11:20My father should be back soon.

01:11:23You mean he's not here now?

01:11:26Oh, come on now, Doris.

01:11:28Do I look like a maniac who goes around killing girls?

01:11:31You've got to learn to trust people.

01:11:33People like me, really.

01:11:35I'm sorry. I trust you.

01:11:38I trust you with my life.

01:11:40Well, I can't ask for any more than that.

01:11:46I'll be right back.

01:11:58I'll be right back.

01:12:28I'll be right back.

01:12:58I'll be right back.

01:13:28I'll be right back.

01:13:58I'll be right back.

01:14:28I'll be right back.

01:14:35I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me.

01:14:38Forgotten you?

01:14:39Why, Doris, you've become very important to me.

01:14:41Very important.

01:14:43I put a little water in it so it wouldn't be too strong for you.

01:14:45Fine. I'm not a very heavy drinker.

01:14:48Neither am I.

01:14:50Well, here's to your future, whatever it may be.

01:14:55I'll drink to that.

01:14:58I'll drink to that.

01:15:28I'll drink to that.

01:15:45It's getting awfully warm in here.

01:15:58I feel kind of funny.

01:16:28Bill.

01:16:30You put something in my drink.

01:16:35Didn't you?

01:16:58I told you I'd bring you a body.

01:17:01A beautiful one.

01:17:04Soon it will be yours.

01:17:06Bill, you can't.

01:17:08Yes, I can.

01:17:10I want you as a complete woman, not part of one.

01:17:14I can't.

01:17:16I can't.

01:17:18I can't.

01:17:20I can't.

01:17:22I can't.

01:17:24I can't.

01:17:26I want you as a complete woman, not part of one.

01:17:31Is it a crime to want to keep you alive?

01:17:36Is it a crime for science to jump ahead by years?

01:17:41This kind of thing must be done.

01:17:45When it's over, you'll see.

01:17:49I've got to hurry now.

01:17:51The drug will wear off soon and she'll be awake.

01:17:55When she does come to,

01:17:58it will be your head consciously awakening for her.

01:18:26You must be stopped.

01:18:30You must.

01:18:32Who's going to do it?

01:18:34It's got to be quiet here.

01:18:37You can't stop me.

01:18:40Very well.

01:19:25I can't.

01:19:26I can't.

01:19:55I can't.

01:20:25I can't.

01:20:26I can't.

01:20:27I can't.

01:20:28I can't.

01:20:29I can't.

01:20:30I can't.

01:20:31I can't.

01:20:32I can't.

01:20:33I can't.

01:20:34I can't.

01:20:35I can't.

01:20:36I can't.

01:20:37I can't.

01:20:38I can't.

01:20:39I can't.

01:20:40I can't.

01:20:41I can't.

01:20:42I can't.

01:20:43I can't.

01:20:44I can't.

01:20:45I can't.

01:20:46I can't.

01:20:47I can't.

01:20:48I can't.

01:20:49I can't.

01:20:50I can't.

01:20:51I can't.

01:20:52I can't.

01:20:53I can't.

01:20:54I can't.

01:20:55I can't do it.

01:20:56I I can't!

01:20:57I can't do it.

01:20:58I can't!

01:20:59I can't do it.

01:21:08Ah!

01:21:53I told you not to let me die!
