00:30Mr. and Mrs. North, starring Barbara Britton and Richard Denning.
01:00Hello. Yeah, this is Peters. Oh, they are. Yeah, thanks for the tip. No, I won't forget.
01:26Hello, Rory. Come on in.
01:56Never expected to see you up here. Oh, first the police are after me and now my own boys.
02:05You made the policies, boss, remember? Yeah, I know, Rory, but I wouldn't testify against you even if it meant saving my own skin.
02:12Oh, wait a minute. How about one last smoke? At least you owe me that much.
02:18Thank you. Cigarettes. Delight. Thanks. Looks like Kel's lighter. It's got his initials on it.
02:45Where he is, he's got all the fire he needs. Oh, so you're going to take my place? In about 30 seconds.
02:55Well, at least I'm glad it's you, Rory. I've always been very fond of you. I want to give you something.
03:03Hey. It's brand new. Looks like I'm not going to be wearing it anymore. Thanks, boss.
03:15We'll call it a present. Yeah, going away present. Well, it's mighty nice of you.
03:45Well, I'll see you later.
04:15Oh, hurry up, Jerry. We're over an hour late now for this cocktail party.
04:34Should we try for two? Oh, listen, darling, I know the nicest little place near here.
04:38The Simmons are very sweet people. And very dull. Oh, Pam, we could have more fun in a graveyard.
04:47All right. I'll bet in an hour we'll both be bored to death.
04:57Jerry, he's sick. He's been hurt. Better get him to a hospital.
05:03I'll stay with you.
05:13Jerry, he's been shot. Shot? Are you sure? Yeah, she's sure. Just keep driving.
05:19Now, look, we were trying to help you. You're still going to help me. But just drive.
05:26Where do you want us to take you? Oh, shut up and let me think.
05:37Better drive me to Montreal. Montreal? Montreal. Now, look, if you think we're going to take you all the way to Canada, you...
05:42I think you are. And drive carefully, my friend. You may save a life. Might be your own.
06:10Do you have a name as well as nerve? Pamela North. Of course you know who I am.
06:20All the time I thought I was famous. Or maybe you don't read the newspapers.
06:26Peters. You're Joe Peters. Aren't the police looking for you? Yes, they're looking for me.
06:34So are my own men. That's a lot worse.
06:42See if you can get some music on that thing. Maybe it'll make me forget this leg for a while.
06:50Not that kind of chalk. I said music.
06:56Now, that's better. I'm searching for a girl.
07:26Stop the car. Let's back up and take a look.
07:48So? So I need a dock and there's a dock.
07:53Pull up in that lane and park under those trees.
08:08Now, listen to me. You go in and get the dock. Have him bring his bag and a good flashlight.
08:16Now, wait. If anything goes wrong or you're not back here in five minutes, you're going to be a widower.
08:39Five minutes isn't much time. It's time enough.
08:47Smoke?
08:53Hold it.
09:09He's sure making a lot of noise, Fred.
09:18Yeah, he must be in a hurry. Everybody wants a doctor in a hurry.
09:24Don't matter if it's a new baby or a case of indigestion. They're always in a rush.
09:30That's the darndest looking trout fly I've ever seen.
09:33Looked like a cross between a royal coachman and a silver doctor.
09:37That's what it is. It's my own pattern. I call it the royal doctor.
09:42You don't need to knock down the door, Dr. Swanson.
09:44That's right. Come on over and see this new trout fly I was just showing to Harry.
09:47Now, please come quickly, doctor. This is an emergency.
09:50Well, I'll get my bag. Where do we go?
09:52Not far. A man's been shot. His leg is cut.
09:55That's still a crazy looking fly. I'll bet you never do any good with it.
09:59Please hurry, doctor. This is an emergency. My wife's life is depending on you.
10:03Your wife?
10:04I've got less than two minutes left.
10:05But you said it was a man.
10:06Never mind what I said. Now, please hurry. I've got less than two minutes left.
10:11Mm-hmm.
10:12Now, what are you looking for?
10:14Looking for my glasses.
10:15Oh, here they are.
10:17All right. Well, come on. Come on here.
10:21No, no, wait. We'll need a flashlight.
10:23A flashlight?
10:24Yeah.
10:25Oh, yes. Yeah.
10:27All right. Well, get it. Get it. And please hurry.
10:29You know, you're a little upset, son.
10:31Maybe you ought to take something to quiet those nerves.
10:34Oh, never mind my nerves, doc. Please get that flashlight.
10:37Well, it seems right here somewhere.
10:44Think that guy loves you?
10:47He sure is taking his time.
10:50Ah, there it is.
10:52Come on. Come on.
11:00Well, his five minutes are about up.
11:02It's too bad.
11:04Such a criminal waste of beauty.
11:06Oh, no, please. Wait a minute. Maybe the doctor wasn't home.
11:10Reach over and turn on some music.
11:12Loud.
11:19Go ahead.
11:21But I don't understand. If you were this close, why didn't you bring the picture?
11:25Where's the doctor?
11:26All right, Mrs. North. Stand out there with your husband.
11:28And stay where I can watch you.
11:30Doc. Doc, get in here with me and get to work on his leg.
11:34Hold it. Don't try it. You'll never make it.
11:38Come on. Into the front seat.
11:41Hurry up.
11:47Now, close the door and put your hands up on the steering wheel.
11:51Higher so I can see them.
11:54That's better. Now, just keep them there.
11:56Don't you worry, Doc. Nobody's going to hurt you.
11:59Where's your flashlight?
12:07Why...
12:08Why, this is a bullet wound.
12:10Yeah, I know. A little honey accident.
12:14What are we going to do, Jerry?
12:15What can we do? We'll just have to wait for a chance to make a break for it.
12:19Mrs. North.
12:21Turn on the music.
12:22Wait for a chance to make a break for it.
12:24Mrs. North.
12:25Turn around and hold this light.
12:29You know, my tailor'd have a stroke if he saw what you were doing with this $300 creation.
12:35I'll, uh...
12:36I'll have to clean this out some.
12:39It's, uh...
12:40Gonna hurt.
12:42All right, go ahead.
12:45Now, hold that light as steady as you can.
12:53You, uh...
12:55You've lost quite a lot of blood.
12:58That bullet has to come out.
13:01Can't that wait till later?
13:02Not if you want to keep this leg.
13:05All right, get on with it.
13:07You mean...
13:08Out here?
13:11Well, you said the bullet had to come out, didn't you?
13:13Start digging it out.
13:14Are you crazy?
13:15You'd be asking for infection.
13:17At least come into the house...
13:18Come on, get some rest.
13:20I'm sorry, Doc.
13:23I don't usually lose my temper, but...
13:26Well, I guess I'm a little nervous.
13:29I know you don't like working on me here, Doc, but do the best you can.
13:32I'll appreciate it.
13:34Well, give me the light over here.
13:44I'm sorry, Doc.
13:46I'm sorry.
13:48What's that?
13:49I'm going to give you a shot of Novocaine to get in the pain.
13:54Never mind that. I'll stay awake.
13:58It's only a local...
13:59I don't like needles.
14:01But the pain...
14:02I can take it.
14:04Only one thing, Doc.
14:06Just don't make it so bad that I...
14:09faint.
14:10Because if I start to pass out, I'm going to pull this trigger.
14:18I'm sorry.
14:31If you have a bullet you don't need for murder, you better chew on it.
14:48Take it easy, darling.
14:49It'll be over in a few minutes.
14:51Keep your hands on the wheel.
15:04Sorry, Doc.
15:06Go ahead.
15:18Oh, hi, Harry.
15:20Evening, man.
15:23How's the police business?
15:24Same as always on this beat.
15:26Dull.
15:27Yeah, nothing ever seems to happen around here.
15:30Except for Fred.
15:31He had an emergency a little while ago.
15:34Who was it?
15:35Don't know. A stranger.
15:36Stranger?
15:38Fred don't get many strangers.
15:40This one was real hurried.
15:42So excited he couldn't seem to remember if his wife or some man wanted Doc.
15:47It's his wife then, I know.
15:49I was the same when Betty's time came.
15:52I was making so much fuss,
15:54they weren't sure whether she was having the baby or I was.
16:06I'll give you credit, mister.
16:09By now, I'd have been letting out yells
16:13they could have heard clear over in Torment Park.
16:21I'll have it out in a minute.
16:23It's about time, Doc.
16:44It's out.
16:46See?
16:47All right, so it's out.
16:49Stop patting yourself on the back.
16:53What are you looking at?
16:58It's a cop. Douse that light.
17:01All right, you two. Start necking.
17:04Get on, Doc.
17:06Take a look.
17:08What's the matter?
17:09Don't you think kids puny would keep their feet off the brake pedal?
17:13I'd better chase them on.
17:15All right, boy blue, just keep walking.
17:19Walk yourself right into your coffin.
17:22Jerry will kill him.
17:24I've got to warn him.
17:27Not that suicide.
17:29I've got to take the chance. Be ready, Doc.
17:32Hey, Max.
17:34Why don't you give the kids a break?
17:37Well, it's against my principles, but maybe just this once.
17:41I'll give them until I come around again.
17:47All right, you two, knock off the romance.
17:49Get the hands back on the wheel.
17:51Doc, wrap it up quick.
17:53Mrs. North, pull the light for him.
17:55That bullet came out of a pistol.
17:58No one hunts with a pistol.
18:00You do if you're hunting men.
18:03I'll have to report this to the police.
18:06Police, you know.
18:08Oh, sure you will.
18:10I wouldn't want you breaking the law, Doc.
18:13Finish fixing the leg.
18:15Oh, I can fix your leg.
18:17But I can't cure what's really wrong with you.
18:21Yeah? What's that?
18:23You're sick inside.
18:26The way a mad dog is sick.
18:28You're quite the philosopher, aren't you, Doc?
18:31You can't work, or love, or fight, or even relax.
18:36All right, get this crate moving.
18:38Because the world is afraid of men who kill.
18:42You're alone, waiting to be destroyed.
18:47Just like a mad dog.
18:50Did you hear what I said, North?
19:07You are a mad dog, Mr. Peters.
19:10So you read the papers, too?
19:12Well, you did a good job anyway, Doctor.
19:15Makes me feel like enjoying some music.
19:18Turn it up, will you, Mrs. North?
19:24Louder, please.
19:30Oh, no! Don't!
19:37Louder, please.
19:47All right, stop the car.
19:52Peters.
19:54Yeah?
19:56You forgot to thank him.
19:58Yeah, so I did.
20:00But I won't forget to tell you.
20:02Mrs. North.
20:03Get back here in the back seat with me like you were before.
20:06Come on, hurry.
20:09Hurry up.
20:23All right, get going.
20:33Come on.
21:03Bring that speed back down to 60 miles an hour.
21:16That's better.
21:18We might attract a speed cop.
21:20That would only get somebody hurt.
21:22Hurt like...
21:24Like that poor doctor?
21:26Still thinking about him, huh?
21:28Forgive me, but I'm not quite used to murder.
21:31Murder?
21:33It's a word, let's call it an unfortunate necessity.
21:36I was going to tell the police about me, so he had to die.
21:40Very unfortunate for the doctor, but...
21:43That's the way the ball bounces.
21:45Have you no feelings at all?
21:48Feelings? Oh, yes.
21:50About music, books, a whole lot of things.
21:54But not about people.
21:56That's the secret of my success.
21:58Success?
22:00Exactly. I have over a half a million dollars.
22:01That makes me a success in anybody's book, I believe.
22:04Not in mine.
22:06How about friends?
22:08Who needs them?
22:10You see, that's the difference between you and me.
22:12I don't need anybody.
22:14Just this.
22:18You and your little gun.
22:22You make a happy couple.
22:31I suppose you're going to kill us like you did the doctor when we've served our purpose.
22:35After you've been so helpful?
22:37How can you think of such a thing?
22:39It's easy. I've seen your gratitude.
22:44Well, we've got a long trip ahead of us before any decision has to be made, so...
22:48Let's all settle back and enjoy it, huh?
22:51What's the matter?
22:53I feel sick.
22:55Could we stop just a minute?
22:57No, no. You'll be all right.
22:59Please, Jerry, just a minute.
23:01I said we're not going to stop. Just keep moving.
23:21Damn, get out and make a run for it!
23:42All right, North, now you can write your own ticket.
23:45Where do you want it?
23:47Oh, my eyes! My eyes!
23:48Oh, my eyes! My eyes!
23:50You must be in pain.
23:52You want me to help you?
23:54Don't hit me. You can't hit a blind man.
23:56Help me, somebody. Help me, my eyes.
23:58Peters, can you hear me? Stop crying.
24:00I can't see.
24:02Nobody's going to touch you.
24:04You're going to make us sick.
24:09Oh, thank you, dear.
24:14What's bothering you now, darling?
24:15Peters is in jail, and we're home safe and sound.
24:20Oh, that's not it, Jerry.
24:22What is it, then?
24:24I was just wishing we'd stopped at an all-night delicatessen
24:27to pick up some dill pickles and some strawberries.
24:34Strawberries.
24:37At this time of night?
24:41Oh, Pam, darling.
24:43Oh, here, catch this.
24:45Sit down.
24:47Now, just take it easy.
24:49I'll run out and get you a pill, pick up some strawberries,
24:51and I'll be right back. Now, just relax.
24:53Oh, Jerry!
24:55No.
24:57No?
24:59No.
25:01I wanted the dill pickle for your sandwich
25:03and the strawberries for our breakfast tomorrow morning.
25:06You're not...
25:08We're not...
25:10Well, not that I know of.
25:12It's a very nice idea.
25:15It's a very nice idea.
25:45THE END
