00:04:37murder there's nothing you can do i told you to go home go on well just a minute miss are you alone
00:04:49you work out at the warren home don't you that's nearly two miles from here you'd better hurry if
00:04:55you're going to get there before dark
00:04:56got any ideas who did it constable yeah same fellow did the first one same fellow did the second one
00:05:11but who he is i don't know somebody in this town somebody we all know somebody we see every day
00:05:16might be me might be you why how could i mean i was here at my desk anybody be quiet
00:05:23didn't know you was called dr parry i wasn't as i was leaving the office i heard about the murder
00:05:45and thought i'd drop in and see if there's anything i could do well there ain't unless of course
00:05:50you're a good enough doctor to uncork a miracle and bring the dead back to life
00:05:53i don't think i'm that good there's no sense in you going up she's dead all right
00:05:58dr harvey's up there and that's what he says she's dead well in that event constable i certainly
00:06:04can't do her any harm
00:06:05hello parry dr harvey there's nothing for you to do unless you just want to do some sightseeing
00:06:17how was she killed strangled she was dead when we got here who was she that lame girl that worked
00:06:36i haven't enough experience to make that sort of joke perhaps not dr parry i'll run along oh
00:06:41just a minute i hear you were over to see mr stover last night yes i was don't you know he's my
00:06:47patient i only went because they called me because they told me that you'd refuse to go until morning
00:06:51i thought it might be serious you've got a lot to learn young fellow you've only been here a short
00:06:56time i've been here for a good many years if i answered all the calls as it came along i wouldn't get
00:07:00any sleep at all well that's why i think there's room for two doctors in this town i can so but let
00:07:06the competition be on an open plain ethics do you get what i mean parry if ever i'm called on an
00:07:10emergency and you happen to be sleepy i intend to go that's very noble and ambitious don't let
00:07:16anything discourage you nothing will oh by the way you might like to see what the stover did to that

00:17:01Helen?
00:17:24Helen?
00:17:28Haven't you gone into Mrs. Warren yet?
00:17:29Helen?
00:17:31Hurry along, will you?
00:17:46It's about time you got here.
00:17:48Mrs. Warren's been asking for you all afternoon.
00:17:50She won't let me do anything for her.
00:17:51Oh, no.
00:17:52I'm ordered to sit out in the hallway.
00:17:55Why in the world am I kept on here
00:17:56to nurse someone who can't stand the sight of me?
00:17:59But then, I can't stand the sight of her either.
00:18:02I've nursed some queer ones in my time,
00:18:04but she's got them all beat.
00:18:05She's sly, too.
00:18:07Even with her eyes shut,
00:18:08she seems to be watching you like an evil spirit.
00:18:10But get in there before she gets herself
00:18:12into another tantrum.
00:18:13She's sly, too.
00:18:43Let me do it.
00:18:58I got him before he got me.
00:19:23Tiger, I mean.
00:19:25I was as good as any man.
00:19:28You're not only late, but you're playing games.
00:19:31Why are you so late?
00:19:35Never mind, never mind.
00:19:38Come here.
00:19:41I hoped you were never coming back.
00:19:44You should run away.
00:19:48Leave this house tonight if you know what's good for you.
00:19:53You understand?
00:19:56Who's there?
00:19:58I told you to sit in the hall.
00:20:05Why must you spy on me?
00:20:07I'm not spying on you.
00:20:08It's time for your medicine.
00:20:09Helen can give me my medicine.
00:20:11I don't know what I'm being paid for.
00:20:13You're being paid to sit in the hall.
00:20:14That's all you're good for.
00:20:15Get out.
00:20:16That was the constable at the front door, Professor.
00:20:42He wants to see you.
00:20:42I've asked him to wait in your living room.
00:20:48Put these in order, will you?
00:20:50Yes, sir.
00:20:53Constable.
00:20:54Yes, Professor Warren.
00:20:55I'll be with you in just a moment.
00:20:57Now, Blanche, get these ready as quickly as possible.
00:21:00Yes, sir.
00:21:00Hello, Constable.
00:21:07Hello, Professor.
00:21:08Wouldn't you like to sit down?
00:21:09Oh, no, no thanks.
00:21:10You sure got a lot of interesting things here.
00:21:13What's this?
00:21:14That?
00:21:15Plant life.
00:21:15Oh.
00:21:16You mean to say you can write a whole book about little stuff like this?
00:21:20Yeah.
00:21:20What did you want to see me about, Constable?
00:21:24Oh, a couple of things, Professor.
00:21:26I hate to barf here at this time of night, but I figure it's important enough.
00:21:33You know, there's been another murder.
00:21:36Yes, so I've heard.
00:21:38What I want to say is that we've traced the murderer to this vicinity.
00:21:42Are you certain?
00:21:43Yes.
00:21:44That's why I've come here.
00:21:46That's why I'm asking everyone to be careful.
00:21:49Keep your doors and windows locked tonight.
00:21:51Well, I'll say that your orders are carried out, Constable.
00:21:53I'm especially worried about that girl who works for you.
00:21:58Helen.
00:21:59Yes.
00:22:00You see, every one of those girls murdered had something the matter with her.
00:22:04Something wrong.
00:22:05Oh, you mean some sort of an affliction?
00:22:07Yes.
00:22:07Now, my hunch is that this murderer, whoever he is, is...
00:22:11I understand exactly what you mean, and I assure you...
00:22:13that I shall be especially careful about Helen.
00:22:15As a matter of fact, I'll see to her that somebody is with her at all times.
00:22:18Good.
00:22:24Oh, you scared the life out of me, Steve.
00:22:27I didn't hear you come in.
00:22:28Shh.
00:22:33Don't stop typing.
00:22:35How many times have I asked you not to see me when I'm working?
00:22:38It's so embarrassing.
00:22:41Please, leave me alone.
00:22:43I can't stay away from you.
00:22:45Now, when am I going to see you and where?
00:22:47You're not going to see me at all if you don't let me finish this.
00:22:50But I'm so bored.
00:22:52I don't know what to do with myself.
00:22:56Stephen, you're going to get us into trouble.
00:22:58Now, please go.
00:23:00No.
00:23:02Then I'll just have to finish this someplace else.
00:23:04Oh, Miss Blanche.
00:23:08Yes, Mr. Warren.
00:23:14Stephen.
00:23:16Oh!
00:23:16You remember my stepbrother, don't you?
00:23:26I sure do.
00:23:27Haven't seen you in a long time, Mr. Warren.
00:23:29Heard you were back.
00:23:31How'd you leave things over in Europe?
00:23:32I left everything in order.
00:23:34They like you to.
00:23:35Paris must be quite a town.
00:23:37Yes, it is.
00:23:39Lots of beautiful women.
00:23:40From what I've seen, they're not so bad here either.
00:23:42Always wanted to go there myself, but I've been married since I was 16.
00:23:47Never had a chance.
00:23:48Must be pretty exciting.
00:23:50From what I understand, it's been pretty exciting here for you too.
00:23:53Oh, yes, it has been.
00:23:54But that...
00:23:55I wish there was something I could do to help.
00:23:56Don't think there is.
00:23:57Stephen, the constable wants to know if anyone left the house today.
00:24:01Nothing personal, I assure you.
00:24:03I've been asked to check up on everybody.
00:24:05I haven't been out all day, constable.
00:24:07That's all I wanted to know.
00:24:09Thank you very much.
00:24:10Well, good night then.
00:24:11Don't forget to lock your doors.
00:24:12I won't.
00:24:16His stepbrother gave him an accusing look.
00:24:20Oh, Professor, could I see you for a moment, please?
00:24:30Would you mind calling him?
00:24:32He doesn't know me.
00:24:33You're not afraid of him, are you?
00:24:35I'm sure he loves policemen.
00:24:37I'm not in uniform.
00:24:40All right, Carlton.
00:24:41Go away.
00:24:42Well, good night.
00:24:45Good night.
00:24:56Anything wrong, Albert?
00:24:59Professor?
00:24:59I just stopped by to tell him the same thing I told you in town today, Oates.
00:25:03See anything on your way home?
00:25:05No.
00:25:08Well, good night, Professor.
00:25:10Good night.
00:25:10Good night.
00:25:11Good night.
00:25:11Good night.
00:25:12Good night.
00:25:16Your hat, Oates.
00:25:17Oh, yeah.
00:25:17Keep forgetting.

00:29:22Give me the brandy, Helen.
00:29:29It's empty. Is there any more?
00:29:31Give me the ether, then.
00:29:34Don't stand there. Give me the ether.
00:29:52Why did you have to come back, Stephen?
00:30:00Why didn't you stay in Europe?
00:30:02Shh, Mother.
00:30:04There's always trouble when you come, Stephen.
00:30:07Always trouble.
00:30:10Why didn't you stay away?
00:30:14I want Dr. Parry.
00:30:16Dr. Parry?
00:30:17Yes.
00:30:18You said you didn't want him here anymore.
00:30:20You and Albert decided that.
00:30:24I want Dr. Parry.
00:30:26Mother, we've given him a chance.
00:30:28You haven't improved any.
00:30:30I'll never improve with that ancient Dr. Harvey.
00:30:35Stupid girl.
00:30:36It's all your fault.
00:30:39You brought on this attack.
00:30:42She deliberately refused to let me have my spectacle case.
00:30:46Mother, Helen wouldn't have any reason for refusing to give it to you.
00:30:50Never mind, never mind.
00:30:52We won't talk about it anymore.
00:30:55Get out now, both of you.
00:30:57Go and call Dr. Parry.
00:31:04Will you be all right?
00:31:06After all these years, you asked me if I'll be all right.
00:31:09Oh, Stephen.
00:31:12Get out. Take that ether with you.
00:31:13Well, Mother, I can see that you're feeling better already.
00:31:19I don't like that ether.
00:31:21I don't think it does any good.
00:31:23But Dr. Parry and Dr. Harvey explained to you that taking in small quantities, it's a stimulant rather than a depressant.
00:31:29It did help you, didn't it?
00:31:31It's been another murder, hasn't it?
00:31:33Nobody told me.
00:31:38Nobody had to.
00:31:42I always know everything.
00:31:54Oh, Blanche.
00:31:55Oh, Blanche, if you don't come here, I'll come over.
00:32:10Yes, I'll come over.
00:32:11Yes, I'll come over.
00:32:13Pale hands I love, beside the Chalemont.
00:32:30Now, now.
00:32:34Oh, Stephen, I'm so unhappy.
00:32:38Stephen.
00:32:39Stephen.
00:32:43Where were you this afternoon?
00:32:45Why?
00:32:47Those are mine.
00:32:48I know.
00:32:52So you've unmasked me.
00:32:54Well, I don't know whether I've unmasked you or not.
00:32:56But I don't know why you told the constable you weren't out this afternoon when obviously you were.
00:33:00Well, to be completely honest with you, I didn't want to discuss it in front of anyone.
00:33:03Well, how stupid of you.
00:33:05If anyone had seen you, you would have made it very awkward for all of us.
00:33:09Where were you?
00:33:11Professor, I...
00:33:12Blanche, would you be good enough to leave us?
00:33:25Let's stop sparring.
00:33:26You're angry because I took Blanche out.
00:33:30You're angry because since I've been home, Blanche and I have gotten to know each other pretty well.
00:33:35You know, Stephen, you always did smirk.
00:33:37Even when you were a child.
00:33:38It's one of the things my father has liked about you.
00:33:42He was my father, too.
00:33:45You know, I'm inclined to think that father was disappointed in both of us.
00:33:48Neither of us fitted his concept of what a real man should be.
00:33:51A gun-toting, hard-drinking, tough-living, God-fearing citizen.
00:33:55He always used to say, the strong survived, the weak died.
00:34:01How wrong he was, Albert.
00:34:04Because you and I, the meek, have inherited the earth.
00:34:11I'll be honest with you, Stephen.
00:34:15I don't like you.
00:34:17I never have.
00:34:19I've never trusted you.
00:34:20And you're quite right when you say that I don't like this...
00:34:23this interest you have in Blanche.
00:34:25And I'll tell you something else.
00:34:26I've had the responsibility of your mother.
00:34:28Your mother, not mine, for years.
00:34:31And I'm tired and strained.
00:34:33Therefore, I think we should make a decision.
00:34:35Either you'll make up your mind to go away permanently...
00:34:38or, if you like, you stay and let me go away.
00:34:40Helen, you look as though you've lost your best friend.
00:34:57You've got nothing to worry about.
00:34:59If anybody tried in their funny business on you,
00:35:01I'd soon suck them in the jaw.
00:35:04Look at it this way, Helen.
00:35:06Murder's like a million-dollar lottery.
00:35:08Sure it is, listen.
00:35:08You pick up the newspaper.
00:35:11You see someone's picture who's won a million dollars.
00:35:14You pick up another paper.
00:35:16There's a picture of someone who's been murdered.
00:35:18There's never me.
00:35:19There's never you.
00:35:21It's always somebody else, isn't it?
00:35:22There's safety in numbers, Helen.
00:35:24There's Oates and me and the professor and Stephen.
00:35:28We'll look after you.
00:35:30And there's Carlton, too.
00:35:32Shouldn't count too much on him.
00:35:38And there's Nurse Barker.
00:35:42She'd be as good as any man.
00:35:44In fact, sometimes I think she is a man.
00:35:48In case you're interested,
00:35:50there's someone at the front door.
00:35:54What do you want?
00:36:08I was called to see Mrs. Warren.
00:36:10It's Dr. Perry.
00:36:11Was he called?
00:36:11I suppose they called Dr. Harvey first.
00:36:19You mean Mrs. Warren asked for me?
00:36:21Well, I've got me a patient now.
00:36:25I'm glad I was called, Helen.
00:36:27I've wanted to have a long talk with you.
00:36:30And I'm going to before I leave.
00:36:32How are you, Dr. Perry?
00:36:38I'm fine.
00:36:39How are you, Mrs. Warren?
00:36:40Did you know my husband?
00:36:43No, I didn't, Mrs. Warren.
00:36:45Of course not.
00:36:46He died years before you came here.
00:36:50You're a little like him.
00:36:52Firm step.
00:36:54Strong hand.
00:36:56Good eye.
00:36:59I know you were very fond of him.
00:37:01He told me I wasn't as beautiful as his first wife.
00:37:05But I was a much better shot.
00:37:10The only kind of beauty he had any respect for was strength.
00:37:14And he had two sons, both weaklings.
00:37:19They hated guns and hunting.
00:37:22He used to run away from them, Dr. Perry.
00:37:25Well, he got his release of a bottle.
00:37:29He died as he lived, happily, extravagantly.
00:37:34I'm sorry.
00:37:35Oh, no.
00:37:36You mustn't be.
00:37:38You mustn't be sorry for him.
00:37:40You should try to get some rest, Mrs. Warren.
00:37:43Yes, I know.
00:37:44I talk too much.
00:37:45I talk too much.
00:37:46Get Helen out of this house.
00:37:52Why?
00:37:54Because I know you love her.
00:37:56Take her away.
00:37:58Promise me you'll take her away from here.
00:38:00Very well.
00:38:01I promise.
00:38:02Take her away tonight.
00:38:05It's money you need.
00:38:06I'll get it for you.
00:38:08Oh.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:10Get me the ether, Helen.
00:38:25Did you get it?
00:38:27I'll go ask Nurse Barker.
00:38:32Come in, please, nurse.
00:38:37Will you get me the ether?
00:38:38Helen can't seem to find it.
00:38:39It was used about an hour ago.
00:38:41Where did you put it?
00:38:43Let's have another look.
00:38:51It's gone now.
00:38:52And you're the only people who've been in this room today.
00:38:56Unless, Mrs. Warren.
00:38:58You took the ether, Barker.
00:38:59Why, I didn't know such thing.
00:39:00You always make me sit outside.
00:39:01Never mind.
00:39:02Maybe Professor Warren will know about it.
00:39:04I'll go and see him.
00:39:08Here.
00:39:12Where's my brandy?
00:39:13I finish it for your own good.
00:39:16Well, I wish you'd stop doing things for my own good.
00:39:19But everything that's happening in this house,
00:39:21it's better that you keep your wits about you.
00:39:23I'm never more witty than when I've had a little nip.
00:39:25I see better.
00:39:27I hear better.
00:39:28And I feel much better.
00:39:30Oates, would you mind coming out a moment
00:39:31and bring your hat and coat?
00:39:33There it is.
00:39:35Emma, let's be serious for a minute.
00:39:37Albert, I want you to stay awake until I get back.
00:39:39Keep an eye on Helen.
00:39:40I won't be long.
00:39:41I could keep a much better eye on Helen
00:39:43if I'd had a little nip.
00:39:47I can't understand.
00:39:49Ether was used less than two hours ago.
00:39:52Stephen used it and he said Helen gave it to him.
00:39:53Unfortunately, I have no other supply.
00:39:56Oates.
00:39:56I'm afraid you'll have to go into the village for some ether.
00:40:00Stormy Aunt Albert, does it have to be done?
00:40:01If it didn't have to be done, I wouldn't ask you.
00:40:04All right, all right, I'll go.
00:40:05You won't find any in the village.
00:40:07I tried to get some this morning.
00:40:08I have to go all the way to Morristown.
00:40:10It'll take hours.
00:40:11Well, I'm sorry, it's an emergency.
00:40:12We have to have it.
00:40:13Yes, you're sorry, but I have to go.
00:40:14You should have some other stimulant at hand in the meantime.
00:40:17Brandy?
00:40:17That'll do.
00:40:18I'll get a bottle.
00:40:20Will you ask Helen to come to the kitchen for it?
00:40:21Mrs. Oates.
00:40:29Yes, sir?
00:40:30Come along with me while I get a bottle of brandy.
00:40:32Yes, sir.
00:40:51Oh, dear.
00:41:19Now I've done it.
00:41:21Did you bring a match?
00:41:22No, sir.
00:41:24Well, never mind.
00:41:24Perhaps I have one.
00:41:26Now, here we are.
00:41:30I think it rolled over there, sir.
00:41:49I'll take it this time, Mrs. Oates.
00:41:51Your key, sir.
00:42:07Oh, my.
00:42:08Did I put one over on him?
00:42:11Easy as taking candy from a baby.
00:42:13Take a tip from me, Helen.
00:42:14If you ever carry the candle to the cellar for the professor, and you fancy a bottle of his fine old brandy, just throw the candle to one side.
00:42:22Accidentally on purpose, of course.
00:42:25Anything can happen in the dark.
00:42:28Presto.
00:42:33Now, I'll just wipe this off, and you can take it to Dr. Parry.
00:42:38Helen, come into the den.
00:42:47I want to talk to you.
00:42:48Mrs. Warren's asleep.
00:42:50Professor Warren's with her now.
00:42:52I've been thinking things over, and Mrs. Warren's right.
00:42:59You should come with me tonight.
00:43:01You can stay at my mother's place until we can make arrangements to go to Boston.
00:43:05My mother will like you.
00:43:06I don't want to frighten you, Helen, but you heard Mrs. Warren a while ago.
00:43:12Her mind's growing steadily worse, and I'm afraid she may become violent.
00:43:16She seems obsessed by the idea that you get out of this house.
00:43:20And there may be something back of it.
00:43:24You'll go with me tonight.
00:43:26There are doctors in Boston who know all about your case.
00:43:29I want to take you there.
00:43:32Helen.
00:43:32When I left you this afternoon, I dropped in at the Fabers.
00:43:39They have a guest visiting them from your hometown.
00:43:41A Mrs. Lindstrom.
00:43:44You know her?
00:43:50Well?
00:43:53She told me a story about a girl.
00:43:56A girl who was on her way home from school one day.
00:43:59She had good news for her parents.
00:44:02When she wasn't far from her home,
00:44:06she heard a fire engine rushing down the street.
00:44:09She started to run.
00:44:10When she turned the corner, she saw that it was her home that was in flames.
00:44:14There was a crowd outside.
00:44:17She wanted to scream herself, but somehow she couldn't.
00:44:20She tried to rush into the house, but was held back because it was hopeless.
00:44:23And so, without being able to do one thing to help,
00:44:27she saw her mother and father burn to death.
00:44:36I'm sorry, Helen, but I had to do it.
00:44:40It's only because I wanted to help you.
00:44:42Go over everything that happened that day.
00:44:44Have the courage to see it all again.
00:44:46And by not blocking it out of your mind, you may find your voice again.
00:44:49I don't like being an outsider, and you shouldn't either.
00:44:56I know what I'm talking about because I'm an outsider here myself.
00:45:00A lot of people don't want me.
00:45:01They want me to quit, but I won't.
00:45:03Because there's at least one person who wants me here,
00:45:05and that's good enough for me.
00:45:07And there's one person who wants you to talk,
00:45:09and that ought to be good enough for you.
00:45:11Look at me.
00:45:12Look at me.
00:45:13You remember how wonderful it was when you had a voice?
00:45:16When you could say hello, a thank you.
00:45:18When you could yell back at someone who started picking at you.
00:45:20I do it all the time.
00:45:22You look at me as though you don't believe it.
00:45:24But I know I'm right.
00:45:26Try to talk.
00:45:27Try it.
00:45:28Try it.
00:45:32Excuse me.
00:45:35My mother is asking for you, Helen.
00:45:37I'll speak to Professor Warren about your leaving.
00:45:46What is this about Helen leaving?
00:45:48I'll discuss it with your brother.
00:45:50Is it something you can't discuss with me?
00:45:52Why is she leaving?
00:45:54Where is she going?
00:45:55Well, I've been doing a great deal of thinking about Helen.
00:45:59I know her condition is due to shock.
00:46:01I'm sure a new mental therapy can restore her voice.
00:46:04I'd like to take her to Boston.
00:46:05Don't you think you're taking a tremendous responsibility?
00:46:08Building up her hopes?
00:46:09Making her think there's some miracle in store for her.
00:46:12It's up to her, not you.
00:46:15What you're doing is cruel and foolish.
00:46:18That girl is adjusted to her affliction.
00:46:20I think you should let it go at that.
00:46:21Suppose you let me mind my own business.
00:46:24It so happens I don't think much of your business, Dr. Perry.
00:46:27If there is a solution to Helen's problem,
00:46:29I think that solution ought to be in the hands of someone other than a country hick doctor.
00:46:32The only thing that keeps me from cracking you in the jaw
00:46:35is the almost certain possibility that would break your neck.
00:46:38What's the trouble, doctor?
00:46:40The good country doctor, having lost his wits,
00:46:43is about to resort to his fists.
00:46:46Professor Warren, I know you're interested in Helen's welfare.
00:46:49I've told you what I've learned about her,
00:46:51and I've decided it's for her best interest that she leave here tonight.
00:46:54Tonight?
00:46:54Yes, she can stay at my mother's place
00:46:57until we can take her to Boston for the examination first thing in the morning.
00:47:01Well, doctor, you know that I agree with you
00:47:03about the element of hope that you have for Helen,
00:47:05but what's your reason for suddenly making her leave tonight?
00:47:10Well, Mrs. Warren feels
00:47:11that she's in danger here.
00:47:13I'm sure you don't take the ramblings of a sick woman seriously.
00:47:22I take most things seriously.
00:47:24Doctor, there are many other considerations.
00:47:27Helen needs this position.
00:47:29It's her only means of support.
00:47:30No family.
00:47:30It won't be easy for her to...
00:47:31I've thought of all those things, professor.
00:47:35I...
00:47:35I intend to take care of her.
00:47:37Oh, I see.
00:47:39Well, I'm very glad for you and for her.
00:47:41You're a sentimentalist, doctor.
00:47:43Tell me, are your humanitarian instincts
00:47:45restricted only to people with serious afflictions?
00:47:51You're very insolent.
00:47:53It's Dr. Perry.
00:48:00Excuse me.
00:48:07Hello?
00:48:08Yes, he is.
00:48:10Just a moment.
00:48:13It's for you, doctor.
00:48:18Hello?
00:48:22Helen.
00:48:24The Wilson boy's very sick.
00:48:25I have to go over there right away.
00:48:26Now, here's their phone number.
00:48:28You can pack where I'm going.
00:48:30If you need anything before I get back,
00:48:32Abbas's Oates call me.
00:48:34I'll be back as soon as I can.
00:48:36Be sure and bar the door behind me.
00:48:42And don't let anyone in but me.
00:53:08I don't like your attitude at all.
00:53:10I'm sorry.
00:53:12It's just I'm...
00:53:14I'm making trouble between you and your step brother.
00:53:16I don't like to hide anything I feel.
00:53:18You know how I feel about you.
00:53:22That's very sweet of you, Blanche.
00:53:24But are you sure you're telling me the truth?
00:53:26Truth about what?
00:53:28Just that I think you're uncomfortable
00:53:30because of your past relationship with my brother.
00:53:34You are...
00:53:35Don't say it.
00:53:36Just answer my question.
00:53:44Get out.
00:53:48Don't be so melodramatic.
00:53:52I didn't realize you were so strong.
00:53:55I'm leaving here.
00:53:57I never want to see you again.
00:53:59I'll miss you.
00:54:00A house like this needs charm.
00:54:02I told you to get out.
00:54:05You're going to regret this.
00:54:22I'm sorry to intrude, Hilden.
00:54:29I have a favor to ask of you.
00:54:32You're leaving tonight and I want to go into town with you.
00:54:38I'm happy for you.
00:54:39Things will be so different when you're cured.
00:54:41I don't know what will become of me.
00:54:44I've got to leave this house.
00:54:46It hasn't been good for anyone here.
00:54:50I'm only taking a few things with me.
00:54:51Hilden can pick up my other things tomorrow.
00:54:54My suitcase is in the basement.
00:54:56I'll only be a few minutes.
00:55:11I've got to leave this house.
00:55:16This is the second time I closed that window tonight.
00:55:19I definitely know I did.
00:55:21Now, if only I knew who opened it.
00:55:24You're not that clever.
00:55:26And if you were, I...
00:55:41I was going to write a book.
00:55:57I clicked in the book.
00:56:00I moved to invite my我就.
00:56:06Who created my house?
00:56:08Let's go.
00:56:38Let's go.
00:57:08Let's go.
00:57:38Oh, it's you.
00:57:47You scared the life out of me.
00:57:49Oh, it's you.
00:58:19I told you not to touch me.
00:58:40Get out.
00:58:41I'll get out, Mrs. Warren.
00:58:42Not only out of here, but out of this house.
00:58:44Good riddance.
00:58:46But before I go, you're going to hear a few things.
00:58:49I'm tired of being a target for an evil old woman.
00:58:51Nobody's asking you to stay.
00:58:53If you got down on your bended knees, I wouldn't stay.
00:58:55I don't need this job.
00:58:56Why did you go there?
00:58:57You need a keeper, not a nurse.
00:58:59I don't care if you'll never walk again.
00:59:02You can stay in that bed for the rest of your life.
00:59:05I've taken everything in my day, but I'll not put up with this.
00:59:07I'm leaving this house tonight.
00:59:20I'll soon clear them out.
00:59:22I hate nurses.
00:59:24Always fussing.
00:59:26Always washing your face.
00:59:33Helen.
00:59:33Did you know there was a girl murdered here a long time ago?
00:59:42I saw it.
00:59:45Upstairs from the window.
00:59:47It was getting dark.
00:59:50I thought it was a tree in the garden.
00:59:54It stood so still and waited.
00:59:58Then when the poor, simple-minded creature came near the house,
01:00:05the tree moved through into the well.
01:00:11I was too late.
01:00:13I couldn't find the rope.
01:00:19You were that girl, Helen.
01:00:27Come here.
01:00:28Come here.
01:00:35You must go away.
01:00:37Leave this house.
01:00:39Go with Nurse Barker tonight.
01:00:41Don't wait for Dr. Parity.
01:00:43Don't wait for anyone.
01:00:45If you won't, you must do what I tell you.
01:00:49Get under the bed.
01:00:51You understand?
01:00:53You must hide under the bed.
01:00:55Why won't you do what I tell you to do?
01:01:01Why won't you listen to me?
01:01:03Why won't anyone listen to me?
01:01:06Oh, would you mind letting me have one of the wagons?
01:01:26I'll drive into the village and leave it there for oaths to pick up in the morning.
01:01:28Very well.
01:01:29I'll go out with you and head you up the wagon.
01:01:31You're very kind, Professor.
01:01:32I've been walking.
01:01:51In this rain?
01:01:53Yes, in this rain.
01:01:57I wonder if you'd mind doing something for me, Stephen.
01:02:00What?
01:02:02Nurse Barker is leaving us.
01:02:04And as long as you're already rather wet, perhaps you wouldn't mind hitching up the wagon for her.
01:02:08Everybody's leaving the old homestead.
01:02:11Like a holiday.
01:02:14It'll be a pleasure.
01:02:16For both of us.
01:02:18Goodbye, Professor Wallen.
01:02:19Goodbye.
01:02:21Oh, Helen.
01:02:22Will you tell Blanche I want to see you in the den?
01:04:13Oh, my God.
01:04:43Have you been here long?
01:05:05I was outside with Nurse Barker. I saw the basement door open.
01:05:09Did you come in that way?
01:05:11Helen.
01:05:13You must forget everything you've seen here.
01:05:16Let me handle this.
01:05:18Do you understand?
01:05:23Take the candle.
01:05:24Come with me.
01:05:43You don't think I did it?
01:05:52I think I have a mess.
01:06:05Wait.
01:06:07I think I have a mess.
01:06:09Where could it go?
01:06:18Hey, there it is.
01:06:22Helen!
01:06:23Helen!
01:06:24Let me out of here!
01:06:27Helen!
01:06:28Helen!
01:06:29Here we are!
01:06:38She's here.
01:06:38Let's go!
01:06:39Let's go!
01:06:41The End
01:07:11The End
01:07:41Helen
01:07:48What on earth are you doing?
01:07:54What's the matter?
01:08:05Blanche murdered?
01:08:11Stephen
01:08:16Where?
01:08:22I'll take you up to my stepmother's room
01:08:24You stay there with her
01:08:26I'll call the constable
01:08:28Let me take care of things now
01:08:33You've been through enough
01:08:35You tried to telephone, didn't you?
01:08:39I'm glad you couldn't
01:08:40You looked in this mirror once before today
01:08:47I watched you
01:08:49You had no mouth then
01:08:53Just as you have none now
01:08:55Look at yourself
01:08:58Look
01:09:00And there's no room
01:09:15In the whole world
01:09:17For imperfection
01:09:19The only person
01:09:22Who could have prevented you
01:09:23From achieving the quiet
01:09:24That I can give you
01:09:25Was Stephen
01:09:26And you locked him up
01:09:29Downstairs
01:09:30We're quiet now, Helen
01:09:40I'm glad I waited
01:09:42Everyone's out of the way
01:09:45Mrs. Oates is drunk
01:09:48Because I purposely let her steal
01:09:51A bottle of brandy
01:09:52And Oates
01:09:54Is going to look for ether
01:09:56Because I made sure
01:09:58There was no ether
01:09:59And Blanche
01:10:02Whom I loved
01:10:04Didn't love me
01:10:06So she had to die
01:10:08She's dead
01:10:09In that peace
01:10:10And Stephen
01:10:12You took care of him for me
01:10:15Stephen is weak
01:10:17As I once was
01:10:20What a pity
01:10:22My father didn't live
01:10:22To see me become strong
01:10:23To see me dispose
01:10:25Of the weak
01:10:26And imperfect
01:10:26Of the world
01:10:27Whom he detested
01:10:28He would have admired me
01:10:31For what I'm going to do
01:10:32So
01:10:46That was
01:10:51He would have
