Fear in the Night (1947)

No renewal found Free in the US since 1 January 1976, on the registry's reading: registration LP955 of 1947 by Paramount Pictures, Inc., New York was not renewed in the volumes searched. Record.

In DeForest Kelley’s film debut, a nightmare leaves material evidence, turning the search for a murderer into an investigation of the dreamer.

DeForest Kelley made his film debut in Fear in the Night. 2 He plays Vince Grayson, a bank clerk whose most troubling witness is himself. After dreaming of murder, Vince wakes to discover evidence that refuses to stay inside the dream. 2 The premise makes waking up a continuation of terror rather than an escape from it. Vince cannot explain what he remembers as an action he consciously chose. Before the investigation has properly begun, the film has opened a gap between memory and responsibility that no physical clue can close.

Maxwell Shane directed from his own screenplay. 1 Pine-Thomas Productions made the film for distribution by Paramount. 2 The source was Cornell Woolrich’s story “And So to Death.” 2 It was retitled “Nightmare” in 1943, the title used in the film’s credits. 12 Woolrich had written it under the name William Irish. 4 The adaptation’s central resource is not the spectacle of a crime but the difficulty of knowing it. Woolrich’s premise supplies a protagonist who possesses intimate evidence without possessing an explanation. The audience can see something without knowing what it means.

The objects Vince finds after waking matter because they seem to cross a border that should be impassable. A key gives his private experience the weight of an external event. The button he discovers belongs to the ordinary world of clothing and physical contact, not to a separate realm of supernatural signs. Such modest objects are difficult to dismiss precisely because they are so familiar. The mirrored room of the dream extends the same uncertainty into the setting. Recognition becomes a trap. When Vince encounters the place outside sleep, the discovery makes his senses appear to have been telling an intolerable truth all along. 2

Paul Kelly plays Cliff Herlihy, the detective who is also Vince’s brother-in-law. 2 Ann Doran plays Vince’s sister. 2 That family connection gives the investigation a pressure beyond the question of whether a policeman believes a suspect. Vince has to ask someone close to him to accept an account that sounds like an evasion. For Cliff, the difficulty is deciding how far personal knowledge can be trusted against apparently incriminating facts. Their relationship makes the demand for proof more painful than it would be between strangers.

The film’s movement toward hypnosis as an explanation shifts the problem from supernatural visitation to the manipulation of a mind. 2 It offers a mechanism for Vince’s divided knowledge without making that division any less disturbing. His participation in an event need not mean that he understands the agency behind it. The investigation must therefore reach beyond the physical evidence that first makes his dream seem real. Finding the room cannot, by itself, explain what happened there.

Shane returned to the material as writer and director of Nightmare in 1956. 1 That remake gives Fear in the Night an afterlife within its own filmmaker’s work. The earlier film is now freely available for viewing and download on the Internet Archive. 6 Availability alone, however, does not establish the legal history of a particular upload.

The record: Registration LP955 by Paramount Pictures, Inc., New York is dated 11 February 1947. The registry found no renewal in the renewal volumes for 1974 to 1976, nor in the Copyright Office's records from 1978 on; on that reading the term ended on 31 December 1975 and the film has been free in the US since 1 January 1976. This is a conclusion drawn from the registration and the absence of a renewal in the records searched. The record does not settle the film’s status outside the United States. Any separate rights in its underlying story remain outside that finding.

330 beats in sequences, cut automatically at shot boundaries scored on picture change, pauses in speech, topic shifts, on-screen text and cutting rhythm (each beat says why it starts where it does). Each is annotated by a vision-language model from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in it, as observations with evidence; anything the frames and lines do not support is left null. Machine annotation (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct), checked automatically: quotes must be verbatim, names must be spoken, "visible" events are sampled to a second model.

Machine transcription of the Archive copy's audio with Whisper large-v3-turbo (temperature 0); the model heard it as en. 468 segments kept, 204 dropped as the kind of hallucination the model produces over music and silence.

  1. 1:01 At first...
  2. 1:31 All I could see was this face coming toward me.
  3. 1:36 Then I saw the rule.
  4. 1:39 a queer mirror drill.
  5. 1:48 And somehow, I was inside it.
  6. 1:56 There was danger there. I knew that.
  7. 1:59 I wanted to turn and run, but I couldn't. It seemed as if my brain was handcuffed. And I had to do what I'd come to do.
  8. 4:23 It's a dream.
  9. 4:56 Those two thumbprints on my neck They weren't there last night when I undressed But it couldn't be It was a nightmare Talk about your realistic dreams I couldn't have done it to myself Choked myself without waking up
  10. 5:27 Must have scratched myself.
  11. 5:35 I.
  12. 5:48 Amen.
  13. 6:01 There they were.
  14. 6:02 The Bummer.
  15. 6:03 And that odd shaped key
  16. 6:05 things out of the dream I never seen them before
  17. 6:09 I didn't have them when I undressed last night.
  18. 6:11 I'm going to go.
  19. 6:19 That button wasn't mine. The key wasn't mine.
  20. 6:23 But if they were there, it must have happened.
448 more segments
  1. 6:27 The dream.
  2. 6:28 The struggle, the murder, everything. But how?
  3. 6:32 If something like that happened and I not know it, was I going insane? No.
  4. 6:39 A jackhammer started pounding inside my head. I had to see if the outside world was still there.
  5. 6:52 The street below look the same as it did last night. The same greasy spoon where I eat now and then.
  6. 7:00 The same traffic noises.
  7. 7:02 The same characters, hounding around.
  8. 7:07 There was nothing the matter out there. It was in here with me.
  9. 7:12 My stomach was riding a roller coaster.
  10. 7:15 I was sick.
  11. 7:17 I couldn't face going to work.
  12. 7:20 I'm going to go.
  13. 7:42 Oh.
  14. 7:45 Give me Fitzroy's 5103.
  15. 7:49 Fremont National Bank, Bill Hughes speaking.
  16. 7:56 Oh, yes, Grayson.
  17. 7:59 What seems to be the trouble?
  18. 8:04 Oh, it could be the flu.
  19. 8:11 All right, all right. Goodbye.
  20. 8:16 Good morning, Jill. Good morning, Mr. Jackson. Isn't that a lovely morning? Lots of things I'd rather do than work today.
  21. 8:28 Good morning, Mr. Vineyard. Morning, Betty. Vince Grayson just called. He's not feeling well. Will you take his window today? Oh, is Vince sick? What did he say it was?
  22. 8:53 The more I tried to figure it out, the thicker I got. Suddenly, the room started spinning.
  23. 9:23 Federal 7-6-4-8.
  24. 9:28 Hotel Commodore, Vince Grayson's room, please.
  25. 9:48 He doesn't answer?
  26. 9:56 Funny he shouldn't be there, isn't it? If he was sick, you know what I mean? No, I don't.
  27. 10:03 I'd better check his books. Just to make safe.
  28. 10:08 Miss, would you like to take this money or should I try another bank?
  29. 10:14 I had to get out of my room. Out into the sunshine.
  30. 10:17 I had to stay out of the shadows. I knew that tonight, I'd be afraid of the dark. I had to talk to somebody about this crazy thing. Betty. I'd get sympathy from Betty. What I needed was an explanation.
  31. 10:35 Cliff. My brother-in-law. He ought to be able to figure out something. I got to Cliff's place just before dinner. My sister Lil told me he was out in the garage.
  32. 10:49 Hello, Clifton.
  33. 10:50 Oh, hi, Vince. How's the boy? Cliff, I want to talk to you.
  34. 10:56 Be with you as soon as I finish sanding it.
  35. 10:58 exact reproduction of Martha Washington's bed.
  36. 11:08 What's the matter, kid? Something on your mind? I need your help. You and Betty have a fight or something?
  37. 11:15 Cliff, this is gonna sound screwy.
  38. 11:18 Last night I dreamed I killed a man. I don't know who or where it was supposed to be.
  39. 11:24 I stabbed him with a steel boar.
  40. 11:27 During the fight, a button came off in my hand. When I'd kill him, I locked the body in a closet and took the key.
  41. 11:35 And then when I woke up...
  42. 11:38 Well, look...
  43. 11:42 And this morning there was blood on my wrist. I figured maybe I'd scratch myself in my sleep, my ear or my nose or someplace.
  44. 11:50 So I just washed it off.
  45. 11:52 That was before I saw these.
  46. 11:55 You're all in pieces, aren't you? Cliff, you've got to help me. You don't know what I've been going through all day.
  47. 12:05 Where'd you get this? I mean, where'd you first get it before you dreamed about it?
  48. 12:09 Don't you understand what I've been telling you?
  49. 12:12 I didn't have it before I dreamed about it.
  50. 12:15 I never saw it before then.
  51. 12:17 Then when I wake up, it turns out real. Now look, Vince. I've warned you before. You're working too hard. Don't you understand? There's a door somewhere this very minute this key belongs to. There's a man propped up behind a dead. And I don't know where nor who he is or how or why it happened. Only that I must have been there. I must have done it. Or why would it come to me in my sleep like this? And these things... Now look...
  52. 12:39 You had those things before. You picked them up somewhere, and you misplaced them a long time ago.
  53. 12:44 And last night you had a Welsh rabbit or one drink too many? So you dreamed up a nightmare.
  54. 12:49 And in it, you remember these old things and wove them in it. Oh, no. Now, don't say no. Either you dream a thing or it really happens.
  55. 12:58 Don't worry.
  56. 13:00 If you dream that you had a fight with a guy and ram something in him,
  57. 13:04 You'd wake up.
  58. 13:05 It happened, Cliff. If I tell you, it happened. You dreamed it.
  59. 13:08 I had those things before.
  60. 13:13 You've just been stretching your nerves thin, kid.
  61. 13:16 That's your answer.
  62. 13:18 That's all you can tell me, huh?
  63. 13:20 Claire, Vince, dinner's ready. If I tell you I didn't have these things... Throw those things away.
  64. 13:25 Unlock.
  65. 13:26 Not a word of this to Lil.
  66. 13:29 You understand?
  67. 13:30 She's been worrying about you enough already.
  68. 13:35 You haven't helped me a bit.
  69. 13:40 I need one of the knuckles to work. Well, naturally not.
  70. 13:43 You expect me to arrest you for murdering a man in your dream? Well, the rest will have to happen in a dream, too. Because I'm off duty when I'm dreaming.
  71. 13:54 Come on, kid.
  72. 13:55 Let's get some dinner and smile for a little, will you?
  73. 14:04 You men coming in or not? Want your soup to get cold?
  74. 14:10 I keep cracking the polish off of that one nail. Are you lucky? Lil's got a rib rose tonight. You know I'm getting jealous of that butcher. Vince, why did you tell me you've been working hard at the bank all day? Because I did...
  75. 14:23 How are you feeling, Vince? I thought you were sick. I was. I just didn't feel well. I kept calling your room all day. No one was there. Mr. Billio got suspicious. Can a guy take a day off? I just didn't feel like going to work, and I wasn't sick enough to stay in my room. Now, why does everybody have to make such a big thing of it?
  76. 14:40 See ya.
  77. 14:42 The blood. I washed it off.
  78. 15:03 I don't know how long I was blacked out.
  79. 15:12 I hazily remembered coming to for a moment and falling asleep again. It was sometime past midnight when something awakened me.
  80. 15:33 Perfect.
  81. 15:35 Light out.
  82. 15:36 You certainly did.
  83. 15:38 the truth oh not what you think not that green business the real truth but you've been wearing yourself out why you passed out like any neurotic
  84. 15:49 Take the key to the botany.
  85. 15:51 You must have often had less than that to start out on.
  86. 15:54 Find out where they came from and find out what they were doing on me. Find out where that mirrored room is. Forget them once and for all. Forget them. I can't. They're my only clue to what happened. Nothing happened. Just selling yourself a phony bill of goods. Just as phony as that idea that the nail polish was blood.
  87. 16:12 That's the kind of trick your mind's been playing on you.
  88. 16:14 Oh, it can't be bad. And don't crack the Lilla about this nonsense or I'll...
  89. 16:20 Well, just don't cry.
  90. 16:21 She's fretted about you for years, ever since your mother died. Right now would be the worst time of all. Now?
  91. 16:29 What do you mean?
  92. 16:31 Well, I wasn't going to tell you until later.
  93. 16:35 Belle's gonna have a kid.
  94. 16:38 Well, that's fine.
  95. 16:40 That's great, Clep. Okay. So now you know, so forget it.
  96. 16:43 If you were half on that...
  97. 16:46 Spooky business, so help me. I'll drag you off to a doctor.
  98. 16:52 I go out, get, try and get some sleep.
  99. 17:06 Sleep. I felt I'd never sleep again till I knew the answer.
  100. 17:12 I had to find the house where the nightmare took place. I had to know. I have a lovely house.
  101. 17:37 with a mirror-lined powder room on the second floor.
  102. 17:53 Six days went by without a lead.
  103. 17:56 I scoured the papers. Not one line about the murder. And all week I've been avoiding Betty. I just couldn't face her with this thing gnawing at my brain.
  104. 18:13 Who is it? Cliff.
  105. 18:18 Hello, Cliff. Hiya, boy. Will you see what I've got downstairs? Come on. Put it on. Let's go. I don't want to go anywhere. I want you to see my new second-hand car that I just got in exchange for my old second-hand car. Please, Cliff, I don't want to go anywhere. What are you trying to be, a groundhog? Lil and I taking a ride in the country. A little picnic. Listen, I'm all right.
  106. 18:40 the devil's out on me if that's what you're doing.
  107. 18:42 Now, look, do you want a little to worry any more than she is after what I told you about her?
  108. 18:49 Come on.
  109. 18:58 Come on.
  110. 18:59 Now look Cliff if you think this is going to do any good don't be a grip come on
  111. 19:07 Hello, Betty. Hello, Vince.
  112. 19:09 Hiya, Lil. I'm fine. Vince, I want you to know this wasn't my idea. What do you mean? I'm glad you picked me up. Well, where should we go, kids? Anywhere. I don't care.
  113. 19:18 How about Solander Canyon? All right.
  114. 19:28 Solander Canyon. It just popped into my head.
  115. 19:31 Why?
  116. 19:33 Betty and I always preferred the beach.
  117. 19:36 Something made me say, "Sir Landon."
  118. 19:38 Somehow it seemed important.
  119. 19:41 Oh, my God.
  120. 19:54 I'm...
  121. 19:56 You know where you're going.
  122. 19:57 Nope.
  123. 19:58 But I got a hunch further down
  124. 20:00 This road will find just the right spot. Did you ever see anything so stubborn?
  125. 20:04 I'm sure that the ants here are just as friendly as the ants farther down.
  126. 20:07 Now what's wrong with that place over there?
  127. 20:09 Nothing, but, uh... Well, stop then!
  128. 20:12 It's getting late, and besides, I'm hungry. Okay, okay, my love. That's just what I was going to do.
  129. 20:17 I'm going to go.
  130. 20:29 Ah, this is the life.
  131. 20:32 Toss me another one of those marshmallows, will you, beloved? As I wish, Martha. Plop!
  132. 20:39 Mommy, you're wonderful. Uh-huh. Just as long as the marshmallows last.
  133. 20:53 Vince, are you coming back to work tomorrow?
  134. 20:56 I don't think so.
  135. 20:59 Mr. Billio asked me to go out with him yesterday. Why didn't you go? Why tell me? Vince. What is it? What's the matter?
  136. 21:21 Just forget about me, will you? What is it?
  137. 21:25 Did I do something? No, it's not your fault. It's just that... Look, we're through. There's nothing we can do about it. Don't call me out. Don't pay any attention to me. Get somebody else. Get anybody.
  138. 21:42 It'll be better for you.
  139. 21:51 Nail, Nail, you're a big girl now. I can't help it. You know what lightning does to me. We better go. Hey, kids, it's going to rain.
  140. 22:02 Oh! Holy smoke, you didn't have to take me seriously. Yes, Betty, come on and go.
  141. 22:32 Now, the wipers won't work. You should have tried them before you bought it, dear. All right. All right.
  142. 22:57 I can't stand anymore. Stop at the first place you come to and let's get out of this. All right, baby. Now calm down.
  143. 23:07 No houses around here.
  144. 23:13 That bridge. I've seen it before. But when? There's a cutoff a little ways ahead, just around the turn. There's a big house up there, I think. You know this section? Have you been here before? There's a cutoff.
  145. 23:43 Are you gonna get us more lost than ever? No, keep going. You'll come to it. Two big posts and then turn the car between them. I didn't know myself how I knew that. But the closer we came, the heart of my heart pounded.
  146. 23:57 And the more frightened I got.
  147. 24:06 There they are. Turn quick between those posts like he told you.
  148. 24:57 Let's make a dash for it.
  149. 25:21 There doesn't seem to be anybody home.
  150. 25:23 I wish we could get in.
  151. 25:44 Thought there'd be a key someplace. Yes.
  152. 26:02 Ed, are you going to stay out there all day? Come on in.
  153. 26:08 Let's have some light.
  154. 26:11 Not that one.
  155. 26:12 What is this a rib? How do you know so much about this place? It's a rib.
  156. 26:19 Your brother Vince, the great Joker.
  157. 26:27 Hello, anybody home? Don't do that!
  158. 26:30 It's cold, he's shaking. So are you. Let's find a place to dry out before you catch cold.
  159. 27:03 Looks like they've been away a long time.
  160. 27:07 Your being a detective comes in handy. In case anybody shows up, we won't get into trouble for crashing in like this. Yeah, yeah.
  161. 27:13 Let's see what gives with the fireplace. That's a break. It's a gas log. Hunk yourself down. Dry out. Before you catch a chill. Oh, I am tired.
  162. 27:41 Come on, Daddy, share the warmth.
  163. 27:44 I'll scout the kitchen. Some hot tea wouldn't hurt you a bit.
  164. 27:52 Better already.
  165. 27:55 Vince, why don't you come over here with the fire?
  166. 29:36 This is the place.
  167. 29:38 This isn't.
  168. 29:39 place alright.
  169. 29:41 Yeah.
  170. 29:45 Wipe it, bro.
  171. 29:51 Have you got it?
  172. 29:56 What are you two doing up there? Keep her downstairs. Keep her downstairs. Be on a minute, Lou. Watch the tea in the kitchen. I got some water boiling. All right, but I wish you'd stop poking around.
  173. 30:14 Look.
  174. 30:29 That's what he was crouched in front of that night. He must have been using a blowtorch. That's what made that bluish light.
  175. 30:39 It made her face stand out in the reflections like a mask.
  176. 30:43 That must be the one I propped him up in after I...
  177. 30:53 No, don't! Yeah, give me a chance. Cut it out.
  178. 31:15 Dry blood.
  179. 31:17 Someone who was hurt was in here. Somebody who is dead.
  180. 31:39 Ben, Claire, come on down and have some tea.
  181. 32:13 I'll take these back to the kitchen. I'll take them.
  182. 32:17 The rain ought to let up soon. Meanwhile, catch yourselves a nap. Mm-hmm.
  183. 32:33 Close it. I don't want them to hear this.
  184. 32:50 Now let's hear about another dream. You think I lied, don't you?
  185. 32:56 didn't you? You know where the key was from a dream, didn't you? Oh, that fumbling around didn't fool me. You even knew where the light switch was from a dream? Oh, no.
  186. 33:05 If you weren't Lil's brother, I'd push a lion face out to the back of your head. But I tell you, Cliff, I'd take hand to me for help. She didn't have guts enough to come clean. To say, Cliff, I went out to such and such a place in the canyon last night and killed a guy. Such and such a guy for such and such a reason. But I tell you, Cliff. No, you had to cook up a dream.
  187. 33:21 I can respect the guy no matter how rotten a crime he's committed, who'll own up to it. I can understand a guy who'll deny it flatly.
  188. 33:26 But a guy that'll come to someone trading on the fact he's married to his sister, abuses common sense, and make a fool out of him like you did to me. But I didn't. I got no use for him.
  189. 33:34 It's lower than the lowest route we ever brought in for a knife and somebody in an alley.
  190. 33:37 Look, I found this key in my pocket when I woke up. I found this button playing on my sympathies.
  191. 33:44 Getting me to think in terms of doctors and medical observation. Was that it? Was it? No, I... Cliff, I swear to you, I... Some dream, that was. Well, that dream's over with. The baby's awake now. I'm going to get the facts out of you, and whether they go any further than me or not, that's my business. But at least I'm going to have them. How can I tell you what I don't know? What were you doing here that night? What brought you here? I was never here before. I never saw the place till the day when I came here with you and Lil. Who was the guy you killed? What was his name? I'm in agony already without... Are you going to answer me? Are you? I can't. You're asking me things I can't answer.
  192. 34:14 My dear, whoever watches over us at night when we're unconscious. Who was the guy? Why did you kill him?
  193. 34:19 Why? I've handled close-mouthed guys before. You're going to tell me or I'm going to half kill you with my own hands. Why?
  194. 34:29 Get over there.
  195. 34:30 What is this?
  196. 34:31 I'll ask the questions. What are you two doing in here? You came in out of the rain. That suit you? Yeah.
  197. 34:36 Not yet.
  198. 34:38 Identify yourselves and be quick about it.
  199. 34:42 Help yourself.
  200. 34:49 Yeah.
  201. 34:52 Thanks early headquarters homicide division, huh?
  202. 34:57 How about doing a little identifying yourself? Well, I'm a deputy attached to the county sheriff's office out this way.
  203. 35:02 Torrance is the name. My brother-in-law.
  204. 35:04 Vince Grayson, how do you do?
  205. 35:05 I'm detailed to keep an eye on this place. I was home having a little bite to eat, then I'm way back to the station.
  206. 35:10 Say, how'd you get in here? I thought I had it locked up. My key was under a flower box on the porch. It was? Yes.
  207. 35:14 Must have been a spare. I have the original. We didn't know there was a second one.
  208. 35:18 What do you mean, you're detailed to keep an eye on this place? Didn't you know?
  209. 35:21 There was a murder committed here last week. There was?
  210. 35:25 I'd like to hear more about that. Sounds interesting.
  211. 35:30 Let's go.
  212. 35:38 Nothing. This place belonged to a wealthy couple named Belknap.
  213. 35:43 Husband frequently goes along business trips. He was away when it happened Mexico.
  214. 35:48 In fact, we haven't been able to notify him yet.
  215. 35:52 His wife was a pretty little thing.
  216. 35:54 Was kind of flirting.
  217. 35:57 There's a young duck she used to run around with. His name was Bob Klune. Why is he?
  218. 36:01 Milkman found Mrs. Belknap about daybreak Monday near a road that leads over here. Did it?
  219. 36:07 Dying, unconscious, both legs broken, skull fractured, insides all busted up.
  220. 36:11 uh...
  221. 36:14 Kind of gets him, doesn't it?
  222. 36:16 Things like this are new to him, I guess. What did it happen?
  223. 36:19 I did it to her.
  224. 36:20 We found a car.
  225. 36:21 blood and hair in the tires
  226. 36:26 Bob Plum's car. Well, then Warner, that's my chief, he'd come over here and have a look around.
  227. 36:31 He finds a safe busted in the mirror room upstairs.
  228. 36:34 Take you up and show if you want.
  229. 36:36 New room, eh?
  230. 36:38 Well,
  231. 36:39 That gave us a case.
  232. 36:41 Clue knew that Belknap got a lot on his safe when he left for Mexico. He came here, started to heist it, and Mrs. Belknap caught him.
  233. 36:47 She ran out afraid he'd kill her. He got his car chased her down the road and ran over. Pretty brutal.
  234. 36:52 All of a sudden, life was swell again.
  235. 36:54 I don't know how to drive, I kept thinking.
  236. 36:57 Cliff knew that too.
  237. 36:59 Out of smoke, kid. Anyway, that's a case we thought we had until Wednesday morning. Thought you had. We sent out an alarm for Kloon. Then Wednesday, Mrs. Belinac came too. The first thing she asked was, is Bob all right? He didn't kill Bob Kloon, did he? He? Yeah. What she told us sent us hot footing right back here. We find Kloon's body propped up behind one of those mirrored doors upstairs. Been stabbed with an awl. She died that night. Well, it went our case.
  238. 37:27 Did you get anything on the real killer? Practically everything except the guy himself. All the dope's over at my chief's office. I was just on the way over there. Are you interested? It's right up my alley. Might be able to even help you find the killer. Glad to have you come along. I'll have to tell the girls. We'll be gone for a while.
  239. 37:48 Shouldn't let it get you, kid. This is just routine with us.
  240. 37:53 I know. It's just that I'm not used to this kind of discussion, I guess. Yeah, I can understand that.
  241. 37:59 I was a little bit squished myself when I first started on the job.
  242. 38:04 They're both asleep. I left the note. Come on, Vince.
  243. 38:11 I'll stay here. Come on, Vince.
  244. 38:16 funny I didn't see anything in the LA papers about it Captain Warner they've been playing ball with us we had an idea if the killer didn't read about us finding the bodies he might come back to take a look maybe to find out what happened to mrs. Bell now here's a description she gave us before she died
  245. 38:45 The killer was about 24.
  246. 38:47 medium build,
  247. 38:49 light brown wavy hair, worn rather long.
  248. 38:53 His eyes were fixed and glassy as though he was...
  249. 38:57 mentally unbalanced.
  250. 38:59 You got any pictures on them? Mrs. Belknap. Clune, I mean. We had some photographs taken in the morgue. Let's have a look.
  251. 39:08 Got any ideas? Nothing in particular. Just thought it might tie in with something at our office.
  252. 39:14 Take a look, Vince.
  253. 39:16 Oh no, you might even know these people.
  254. 39:19 It was them all right. The faces and the dream. That woman and the man I killed. Now I knew there was no escape. I was a murderer. I?
  255. 39:32 I...
  256. 39:36 I'm.
  257. 39:48 Out like a light. What do you suppose did? Those death pictures? Things like this sure get him. I noticed that before. He's not well.
  258. 39:57 get these busy spells now and then?
  259. 40:00 since I started.
  260. 40:03 Yeah, that's better.
  261. 40:05 He'll be all right.
  262. 40:07 As soon as I get them home.
  263. 40:12 Thanks Warner.
  264. 40:13 Have a scene. Okay.
  265. 40:40 Thanks, Lil. I'm sorry the rain has spoiled a picnic. You take care of yourself, Lil.
  266. 40:44 I'll call you.
  267. 40:47 I'm going up with Vince for a while.
  268. 40:49 My pet, you happen to be in a load. Oh, Smiley's on this beat. If he says anything, just tell him whose car it is.
  269. 41:27 Lil's waiting downstairs. I'm going to take her home first before I do anything.
  270. 41:34 I love Lou.
  271. 41:36 I think you love Betty, but that's your business.
  272. 41:39 All I know is I love Lil.
  273. 41:44 Bad enough what this is gonna do to her when she finds out.
  274. 41:48 I'm going to say that she gets at least one good night's sleep.
  275. 41:52 before she does.
  276. 41:53 What am I gonna do, Club?
  277. 41:56 I don't have to ask you if you killed a passed out coal when you saw their photographs and death.
  278. 42:04 In the morning, I'm going to take you down and turn in what I know at my own precinct house.
  279. 42:09 I can pass it on to Warner.
  280. 42:12 And then I'm going to turn in my badge.
  281. 42:18 I'm scared stiff.
  282. 42:21 Killers always are.
  283. 42:23 afterwards.
  284. 42:25 I'll be back in the morning.
  285. 42:28 I'm
  286. 42:46 I'm not.
  287. 42:55 I'm. I'm.
  288. 43:52 I'm going to go.
  289. 44:01 I beg your pardon.
  290. 44:09 Look, look.
  291. 44:10 trying to make up his mind.
  292. 44:33 Can't you go any faster.
  293. 44:35 Got her wide open.
  294. 44:37 Oh, God.
  295. 45:25 Why didn't you let me?
  296. 45:28 I didn't think it that way out.
  297. 45:34 Vince! Oh, Vince! I didn't want to drive you into this. What is it? If you were in trouble so horrible that you wanted to...
  298. 45:44 Charlie, don't.
  299. 45:47 He won't try it again, Betty. Just keep that thought. But why, Cliff? Why? Never mind now.
  300. 45:54 You go on down.
  301. 45:56 Take Lil home. But don't tell her anything about that. Just say that I thought it was better if I stayed here with Vince tonight. He's not feeling well. Okay.
  302. 46:08 Cliff, whatever it is that's come between us...
  303. 46:12 Promise me you'll help him. You go on now. And take care of Lil.
  304. 46:28 *Loud noise*
  305. 46:57 Cliff?
  306. 46:59 Did I wake you up? No, I can't sleep. Have a smoke.
  307. 47:13 What about the arrest, Cliff?
  308. 47:15 Cancel for now. When a guy's willing to die like you were, there must be something to his story. I tried to tell you. I don't think you really knew what you were doing that night.
  309. 47:26 I think you're telling the truth to the best of your ability.
  310. 47:30 I'm licked. I'd rather not even talk about it. You might as well have let me jump. I'm dead inside already.
  311. 47:39 Still, I can't figure why you picked that one. Most of them try the bridge or poison or even gas. Thought of that, but this place hasn't any gas. Yeah, good thing, too. More houses didn't have gas, there'd be less... Yeah? It'd be darned inconvenient if an electric light bulb burns out unexpectedly. Happened to a fellow in the next room the other night. Yeah? Yeah, I had to use a candle. Same night I had the drink. Use a candle? How did you know? Were you in there with him? Hmm?
  312. 48:09 Stuck his head in the door. Wanted to know if my light had gone out, too. What'd you have to come in here for? Couldn't have told by the hall? I don't know. There's a little night light around the bin in the hall. Maybe that's on a different circuit. Still no reason for him to barge in on you.
  313. 48:32 I'd like to hear the rest of this. There isn't any rest of it. I've told you all there is. Never mind.
  314. 48:39 Now, who was he? Did you know him?
  315. 48:42 Now tell it to me step by step. Like to a six-year-old kid. Okay.
  316. 48:48 Well, the guy's name was Berg. He'd been living in the room about, oh, a week or ten days before that. Used to see him in the elevator.
  317. 48:58 I chatted with them a couple of times in the lobby. All right. Now, tell me what happened the night his late went out. Well, I've been in bed for some time, reading the paper like I do every night.
  318. 49:17 Just put the lamp out and got to sleep when I heard this knock on the door.
  319. 49:24 Who is it?
  320. 49:26 Harry Berg from next door.
  321. 49:37 Pardon me. Did I wake you?
  322. 49:39 No, I just turned out the light. Oh, you did?
  323. 49:43 The light in my room just went out. That's why I wanted to see you. I thought maybe the circuit was on. Your light working? Try it.
  324. 50:01 Yes. It must have been the globe that burned out. Sorry I troubled you. Not at all.
  325. 50:08 You're tired, aren't you? I can see you're pretty tired. I'm sorry. Oh, really, it's all right.
  326. 50:17 You're tired, and I woke you up. It's all right.
  327. 50:22 I guess he kind of had a one-track mind. Used to mumbling to himself, maybe. Anyway, he finally closed the door and went away, and I dropped off to sleep. Now, wait a minute.
  328. 50:40 Are you sure the door closed after him? Did you see it closed? Did you hear it closed?
  329. 50:48 Did it go like this? Did it make a click? Or did it go like this? Without a click.
  330. 50:57 I can see you're having trouble giving me a definite answer. You don't remember it either way. Well, what difference does it make? The door must have closed. He went away and I went to sleep.
  331. 51:10 and he kept saying, you're tired. So what? Eyes fixed and glassy as though he were mentally unbalanced.
  332. 51:19 What?
  333. 51:22 I was just remembering something in the deathbed statement Mrs. Belknap gave to Warner. You, uh... You say you chatted with this fellow once in a while. What about? Oh, sports, politics...
  334. 51:52 You should have one. Your boy sounds kind of hoarse.
  335. 52:01 I took one because I kind of felt sorry for him.
  336. 52:06 cough drops testing willpower. You seem to make something out of this silly thing. What is it? Just guessing. That's all.
  337. 52:19 You get some sleep, kid. Where are you going?
  338. 52:26 Hey, I thought you were going to stay here tonight.
  339. 52:32 You're going to have to take one of your hats.
  340. 52:35 I'm going out to the Belknap home. And the Warner's headquarters while I'm out there. Now? All the way out there? This hour of the morning? I don't know what I've got yet. If anything...
  341. 52:47 Vince, don't try any more shortcuts.
  342. 53:02 That clock is always a little slow. It's like the horse I had yesterday. Hello kid, come on up to your own.
  343. 53:18 Lua called her a while ago. She's been worried. Married to a cop for 15 years and still worried.
  344. 53:23 You didn't tell her anything? No. Good.
  345. 53:38 Have you been up there all this time till now? I'll go back to the town once in between, get something I needed, get a leave of absence. What for? What for?
  346. 53:45 I'll tell you later.
  347. 53:58 Ople.
  348. 54:07 Welcome.
  349. 54:09 Who is it?
  350. 54:34 What's the bird? The man had the room next door. Where'd you get this? I didn't have to ask you who it was. You already know it from the desk clerk.
  351. 54:43 A couple of others I showed her to when I stopped back here earlier this morning.
  352. 54:48 He's also...
  353. 54:50 Dorothy Belknap's husband, Louis Belknap.
  354. 54:54 What about me? Does this mean... Was he the one who... There's no out in this for you, Vince. Not yet. I checked your fingerprints with the ones worn from the mirrored door. You found your way into Belknap's home. You punctured Bob Clune's heart with a bore and shoved his body into a closet.
  355. 55:12 Mrs. Belknap? You didn't kill her. You can't drive. We think Belknap drove you up there. Was waiting for you outside.
  356. 55:23 I deliberately ran over her.
  357. 55:25 Why didn't I know what I was doing we think we know why Vince?
  358. 55:31 There's only one way to prove it. I
  359. 55:34 sure that it could have happened in the first place by making it happen all over again.
  360. 55:37 You mean go back and commit the crime over again? Not exactly.
  361. 55:42 You killed a man Vince.
  362. 55:44 Right now, you're guilty.
  363. 55:45 We've got to prove you didn't know what you were doing and why you didn't know. What do you mean? We haven't got much time.
  364. 55:52 They located Belknap yesterday. He's flying back from Mexico this afternoon. He wired Warner to have his wife reburied in the family plot today.
  365. 55:59 He'll be back in time for the funeral. Get your coat on. Where we're going.
  366. 56:02 There's a place you'd rather not go than all other places right now.
  367. 56:05 I know, kid. It's not going to be easy.
  368. 56:12 You've got to go back there and stay tonight and wait for Belknap. He may be a dangerous killer, but it's your one chance to save yourself from paying for a murder. You're right.
  369. 56:21 Think he can make it?
  370. 56:34 I was scared sick, but I got back into that house before Belinop returned from the funeral.
  371. 56:39 A couple of friends drove back with him.
  372. 56:41 I waited upstairs looking down into the living room.
  373. 56:44 As I said goodbye.
  374. 56:47 Why don't you come and stay at our place tonight, huh?
  375. 56:49 Yes, we'd love to have you.
  376. 56:51 Don't worry yourselves about me. Oh, boy.
  377. 56:54 Good night.
  378. 56:57 He was coming out. My blood turned to water. I wanted to scream out, to run away from there. But I had to stay. It was my only chance to save myself.
  379. 58:11 How'd you get here?
  380. 58:12 You showed me the way, didn't you?
  381. 58:15 You remembered coming here?
  382. 58:17 You didn't think I would, did you?
  383. 58:19 You couldn't have. Then how did I get here? You explain it. How long have you been in here, like this?
  384. 58:27 Since shortly before dark. I got in while you were at the funeral. Who'd you bring with you?
  385. 58:33 Just this.
  386. 58:36 You remembered the drive up you couldn't have.
  387. 58:40 You had to look.
  388. 58:42 The typical look of a hypnotized subject...
  389. 58:45 I faked it. I was holding a thumbtack pressed into each palm the whole way so I wouldn't go under no matter how good you were at it. Then why did you do everything I directed? When I put the knife in your hand and told you what to do, you took it. I thought maybe you'd pay off to keep me quiet.
  390. 58:58 And then if I balked,
  391. 59:00 I figured I'd get a knife in my back. But what happened? What went wrong inside?
  392. 59:05 I let you out of the car, told you what to do. I dropped the knife somewhere in the dark. But I came up anyway. Clune was stealing your dough and about to run out with your wife, wasn't that it? Yes. Yes.
  393. 59:19 But how... I would have been killed by Clune, only your wife handed me a boar by mistake. And I had to use it to save myself.
  394. 59:25 Oh, that explains how she got out of the house.
  395. 59:28 I had to finish her.
  396. 59:30 with his car. I might have known you were under imperfect control. Oh, your control is perfect enough, Bellman.
  397. 59:37 Don't let that worry you. You still have the knack. But you just said... Yeah, and you fell for it.
  398. 59:43 I didn't know what I was doing when I came up here to do your dirty job. I'd never found you, but I saw your picture in the paper as a husband of the murdered woman and recognized you as Bert.
  399. 59:51 I didn't come here to be paid off for what I did.
  400. 59:54 Even though your will is stronger than mine, you know you couldn't make me commit murder.
  401. 59:59 I killed that man.
  402. 1:00:00 self-defense.
  403. 1:00:01 But I'll never be able to clear myself into eyes of the law. Ever. I'm going to make you pay for doing that to me. Now.
  404. 1:00:11 This way. Wait. Don't do that. Alive, maybe I can do something for you. I'll give you money. I'll get you out of the country. No one will know. My conscience will know. No.
  405. 1:00:21 I've got an honest man's conscience and a murderer's body. You should have let me alone, Belmont. That was your mistake. Wait one minute. Give me one minute to make you see. Just 60 seconds.
  406. 1:00:34 You don't want to kill me. Those two were plotting against me for months. I knew it. That's why I planned the whole thing. I had to do it. Don't you understand? You can understand that. Stop it, Belknap. Just a few seconds, please.
  407. 1:00:47 You don't want to kill me. Look up. Look up, please. See? Just 30 seconds. And I'm sure I can make you understand. Just a few seconds. Shall we take him now?
  408. 1:01:02 We've got to let him finish. We've got to have proof for a jury that he can actually put him under. Just 15 seconds, that's all. That isn't much, is it?
  409. 1:01:12 Fifteen seconds. Killing me won't calm your conscience. You don't really want to kill me, Grayson. Drop your gun. It's too heavy. Drop the gun, Grayson. Drop it. You're too tired to hold it up. Just drop it. You'll feel so much better.
  410. 1:01:36 Just let go.
  411. 1:01:38 Better still
  412. 1:01:40 Give the gun to me, Grayson.
  413. 1:01:42 You're tired Tired That horrible curtain closed over me again
  414. 1:01:55 I couldn't fight it.
  415. 1:01:57 Oh, my God.
  416. 1:01:58 I knew he was taking me somewhere.
  417. 1:02:01 I didn't want to go.
  418. 1:02:03 But my brain was handcuffed.
  419. 1:02:07 And I was walking through another nightmare.
  420. 1:02:37 The quiet. We better get up there quick.
  421. 1:02:49 He's got him out of the car by the garage.
  422. 1:03:19 Oh, my God.
  423. 1:04:04 Like what I say I am wanted for the murder of
  424. 1:04:09 of those two people at the Belknap house.
  425. 1:04:17 I have no chance.
  426. 1:04:25 I see...
  427. 1:04:27 No other way out.
  428. 1:04:31 Sign it.
  429. 1:04:34 Vincent Grayson.
  430. 1:05:25 Look down there.
  431. 1:05:31 All right, get out.
  432. 1:06:16 Take off your coat.
  433. 1:06:32 This way you'll find peace.
  434. 1:08:38 *thud*
  435. 1:09:11 Are you alright now, kid?
  436. 1:09:26 Yeah.
  437. 1:09:29 Yeah. All of a sudden I'm all right.
  438. 1:09:35 I'm sorry.
  439. 1:09:50 I'll see you inside.
  440. 1:09:51 Too bad you have to go through the uranine, Grayson, but...
  441. 1:09:53 Good luck.
  442. 1:09:54 Thanks a lot for everything.
  443. 1:09:59 Vince, it must have been horrible. It was. If I didn't read the newspapers, I'd never know what my wonderful husband's doing. If you knew, you'd never have let me do it. Vince.
  444. 1:10:09 We'd better go face the judge. Don't worry. You've got a perfect plea of self-defense.
  445. 1:10:14 Come on.
  446. 1:10:15 Mother.
  447. 1:10:20 Scared, darling? I'll be glad when it's over.
  448. 1:10:23 I'll be right there with you all the time.
