Are you out of your mind?

Give her another one.

What a way to go.

I really felt we had it.

What's gotten into you?

I warned you at home I
don't wanna go there.

Well, you have to.

You can take me there,
but I won't stay.

Whew, you could've
killed us all.

That's what I tried to do.

The kid's lost her marbles
talking wild like that.

I'm certainly glad, Paul,
that we're getting rid of her.

Shut up!

That's no way to talk
to your mother.

Step-mother, my mother's dead.

Oh, you're back on that track.

And I'll never get off.

I don't approve of your smoking,

but I guess one more
won't hurt you now.

Let her have a whole pack if
it'll help calm her nerves.

I'll handle this, dear.

Now, look, Nancy, we've
discussed this back and forth.

Then you ought to
know how I feel.

Then why can't you
see it my way?

I have a right to remarry.

Oh, you're on that
lonesome kick again.

At least you could've waited!

Six weeks, then you married her.

Well, the company shifted
me to another city.

I had to make a decision.

I know, they twisted your
arm around her.

That'll do, you're selfish.

Maybe your mother spoiled you.

All you think of is yourself.

Me, you're a fine one to talk.

You sell the house, yank
ne out of school,

you break up my whole
social life!

You mean those
moonlight beach parties

and those rock and
roll sessions?

I'm gonna lose all my
friends, especially Glenn,

and just when we were
getting close.

Real close, I can just imagine.

You break it up and now
you wanna get rid of me.

Did you expect us to take
you along on our honeymoon?

Oh, don't give me that
blushing bride routine.

You put a ring through
Dad's nose and...

That'll do!

Well, at least I told you.

And it makes no sense.

Now, we're going,

and you'd better keep
your hands off the wheel.

Well, at least the storm
has let up a bit.

Well,
I gave you up.

You were expected hours ago.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Thorndyke.

I allowed all day for
the 300 miles,

but this storm and coming
through the mountain pass,

we nearly skidded off the road.

It was really close.

Well, I'm glad you made it.

I'm sorry I can't offer
you something to eat.

That's all right.

We'll get a bite on
the way back.

Yes, you should be on
your way, both of you.

You've done enough for me.

I'm Nancy Perkins, Mrs.
Thorndyke.

Please forgive us all.

Forget it, Nancy.

Poor girl, you look half frozen.

I'll be all right.

Then we better conclude the
formalities, Mrs. Perkins.

Eh, the new Mrs. Perkins.

I lost my wife recently.

Six weeks ago.

In fact, that's why we
registered Nancy at Sherwood.

Well, I'm sure you made
the right choice.

I think you'll be very
happy here, Nancy.

I like the cheery atmosphere.

At first she seemed a
little worried.

That's natural, separate anyone

from familiar surroundings,

the warmth and security of home.

You do understand.

Of course, but I'm sure

any strangeness you
feel will pass.

She was also worried about
the discipline.

Oh now, Nancy,

this is not a
corrective institution.

Sherwood is a private
preparatory school

with a very high rating.

All our girls come from
fine backgrounds.

There is work, our
courses are not easy,

but there is also fun.

You'll find out, lots of fun.

Well, I'm glad that's settled.

You know your way back?

It'll be a breeze.

You're driving all the
way home tonight?

They'll probably
stop at a motel.

Well, goodbye, Nancy,
and be sure to write.

Every week.

Say goodbye to.

Goodbye, Doris, take good
care of Daddy.

Goodbye, Nancy.

Well, I leave my little
girl in your charge.

Goodbye, Mrs. Thorndyke.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Let's move along, dear.

I'll help you with your luggage,
Nancy.

I'll show you to your room.

It's right up here.

You'll sleep in here tonight.

You'd better go to bed at once.

Naturally, it's too late now,

but in the morning I'll
introduce you

to the girls in your dormitory,
five very sweet girls.

Well, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Well, at least you've got
sense enough not to fight.

Shocking pink, the first
blush of Spring.

And look at the neckline
on this blouse.

Oh, this formal, the most.

Take the music and
moonlight, and my dream boy.

I hope you kids are
having a ball.

Signal when you're through,
I'd like to sack in.

Where'd you hide the cigarettes?

Here they are.

Help yourselves, I'm
terribly sorry

I didn't brink a carton.

Uh, maybe we should
tell this prize package

that it's against the
rules to speak

until you get permission,

or we might have to put you
through our course in etiquette.

For instance, do you take off
our gloves to eat and drink?

And when your date
brings you home,

do you give him the
key to your front door?

Hey, look at this!

Didn't anyone ever tell you
this is bad for your teeth?

Oh, chocolates.

Kids, look at this.

Our little girl's
got a dream boy

with wavy hair and muscles.

Hey now, knock it off!

Hey, beat it, you guys.

Old horse face is on
the warpath.

So, you're the new girl,
Nancy Perkins.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I'm Miss Rivers
and I'm the house mother.

I look after this
dormitory and I teach art.

Also, I expect to get eight
hours uninterrupted sleep.

Yes, ma'am.

For a new arrival, you
certainly can kick up a storm.

I'd never give you an A
for tidiness.

Do you have to make so
much noise unpacking?

Don't you know
everyone's asleep?

I'm sorry, Miss Rivers.

I was looking for something,

a hand mirror, a
present from my dad.

I, I thought at first
that I'd left it home,

but then I found it.

Well, you put all these
things back neatly,

and remember, at Sherwood,
we teach our young girls

to be neat and quiet,
and go to bed.

I hope you slept well, Nancy.

Sometimes a strange
bed in a strange place.

Oh no, it was just like
home, cozy and quiet.

Good, good morning, girls.

Good morning, Mrs.
Thorndyke.

Sit down, girls.

I'd like you to meet Nancy
Perkins, your new roommate.

This is Myra, Terry,
Nola, Linda, and Anne.

How do you do?

These must be the five sweet
girls you told me about.

Exactly, you see, we
like to put a new comer

in with girls who've been
here for awhile for guidance.

They'll show you where
your classes are

and help you get used to
our ways here at Sherwood.

I'm sure they will.

Well, I hope you all get along,

and from now on, good luck.

Thank you.

Come on, girls, let's go.

Excuse us, Nancy.

Nancy, I wanna talk to you.

You passed your first
test with flying colors.

You didn't snitch.

If there's one thing we
can't stand around here,

it's a snitch.

I'm glad I made the grade,

but don't give me an
A for conduct.

I like to handle things
in my own way.

Don't be a meathead.

I'm just taking an
interest in you,

because you've got spirit.

Just remember, there's
no such thing

as a lone wolf at Sherwood.

We can make life awfully
miserable for oddballs.

I suppose.

First of all, when it
comes to classes,

I'm the teacher's
assistant in Chemistry.

Secondly, Nola, the
girl whose hair

you tore out by the roots,

she's an English assistant,
get it?

I get it.

And then if you wanna
have some fun here

and be let in on things,

you've just gotta be one of us.

How do you get to be one of us?

You'll do what I say.

You'll have to join our
secret organization,

Birds of Paradise.

So long as I sponsor you,
you're as good as in.

I never won any medals
for obedience.

Come on, we'll be
late for class.

I'm not hungry anyway.

Hi, Myra.

Oh, hi, Eddie.

Hey, who's the new talent?

Nancy, this is Eddie.

Is she a member?

After the next initiation.

Give her a preferred position,
I dig her.

Would you two mind letting
me in on the double talk?

Ever hear of a census?

Yeah.

If they ever took one
at Sherwood,

Eddie would be penciled in
as the whole male population,

and Eddie's the exclusive
property of Birds of Paradise.

We take turns dating him.

What a catch.

That's all there is
except on holidays.

We divide him up like a
jug of water on a lifeboat.

One swallow to each girl.

Oh, now I get it.

King Farouk with a
lawnmower.

Myra, move her way up
on the list.

I'll give you a better idea,
Myra, scratch my name off.

Fall off that cloud.

I've got a real boyfriend.

Wow, what a frosty chick.

Well, that just leaves
more water in the jug

for the rest of us.

Any way you pour it, I'd say
you got more jug than water.

Thanks for nothing.

What did I do?

It's what you were
willing to do.

I heard you, every word.

Listen, lunkhead, you're
not the dream boy you think.

If there was more
supply around here,

there'd be less demand.

All right, all right.

And don't forget you're
engaged to me.

Yeah, but it's a secret.

Not from us.

You know it and I know it,
remember that.

Sure, sure baby.

I have to share you,

but I don't want you to be
so enthusiastic about it.

Okay, okay.

Now give the girl you
love a kiss.

Here?

Here.

In the morning?

Does true love look
at the clock?

Okay.

And don't forget, cut
your date short tonight.

Say your head hurts.

You've been thinking.

And meet me later on at
the same place.

Miss Branding, what experiment

shall I get ready for
today's class?

Two simple
experiments combination,

the joining of simple solutions

to form a more complex compound,

and decomposition,
breaking down the compound.

You remember, copper wires
to form a copper oxide,

and then we'll decompose
hydrogen peroxide to form water.

Yes, I got my thesis back again.

I'm sorry, Miss Branding.

Save your sympathy and try
to learn something from this.

We live in a world ruled
by men for men.

He won't even
consider my thesis.

He mocked me, my work,

but they're convinced that
they're on the right track.

And before they're proven
wrong and I can do that,

they'll destroy the world
through reckless experiments.

But you yourself, you
experiment all the time.

Of course I do, constantly.

I'm not against progress,

but they search for
power in the wrong place.

If they continue,

do you realize what the
people of the future will be,

what they'll look like?

Monsters, grotesque,
misshapen, frightening fiends.

Isotopes and fallout in
our lungs and our glands

distorting natural shape
and proportion.

No one can calculate the
hazards of radiation.

Reckless fools, they
search in the wrong place.

When I can demonstrate that
there's a power strong enough

to destroy the world
buried within each of us,

if only we could unleash it.

But how?

I can release a destructive
power in a human being

that would make the split
atom seem like a blessing.

And after I've done that,

after I've demonstrated
clearly that there's more

terrible power in us than
man can create,

scientists will give up their
destructive experiments.

They'll stop testing
nuclear bombs.

Nations will stop looking
for new artificial weapons,

because the natural
ones, we, the human race,

will be too terrible to arouse.

War will no longer be a
calculated risk,

because it can only end
in total destruction.

Oh, it sounds big, Miss
Branding, important.

Oh, if I could help.

No, you won't do, Myra.

For my experiment, I must
find a special kind of girl

with special potentials.

No, you're not what I need.

I must find someone with
the natural fire,

explosiveness close
to the surface,

a disturbed girl perhaps,

but with a will of her own,
someone...

Wait till you meet our
new girl, Nancy Perkins.

She's an A-bomb all by herself.

In fact, each of you in
your own chemical makeup

contains elements which
if isolated and let loose,

could blow up the entire school.

But when these dangerous
elements are combined,

we have a bouquet of
very pretty girls.

Myra, will you conduct
the next experiment?

I'll need two girls,
Nola and Nancy.

Both of you please come up.

So, you're the new girl, Nancy.

Yes, Miss Branding.

Well, you're the guinea pig.

You're on your own.

Here are two colorless liquids,

one is water, the other alcohol.

We will see which one of
evaporates first.

Ah, Nola, please extend
your right hand, palm down.

Go ahead, Nancy.

That's cold, it feels real cool.

All right, Nola, you do
the same thing to Nancy.

You burned me!

Here, here, here, Nancy!

Easy, Nancy, you must
control yourself.

A mistake's been made.

On purpose!

Better let me treat
this for you.

Myra, will you look
after the class?

Yes, Miss Branding.

I think Nancy needs
special treatment.

Sorry, Nancy, but
accidents will happen.

I still say it was no accident.

You feel strongly
about being hurt.

I never forget a hurt,

and I never forget the
person who hurts me.

Is it better?

No, it still hurts.

Maybe it won't get better.

Perhaps it can't get better
until you do something about it.

Like what?

Like what you intimated
by getting even.

Maybe.

You needn't be ashamed or
afraid of that impulse.

For some people, special people,

no injury gets better until
the score has been evened.

I certainly feel that way.

So did our ancestors.

You remember the Bible, an
eye for an eye?

Then it's all right to
feel the way I do?

Yes, under certain conditions.

Well, I feel that way
about my father

for remarrying so soon.

I hate my step-mother.

I even hate this school
because all...

I understand, dear.

Bruised emotions don't heal
easily, sometimes never.

All quite normal, as I said,
under certain conditions.

What conditions?

I'll tell you sometime

when we get to know
each other better.

Soon?

Perhaps and when you're prepared
to do something about it.

It would be silly for you
to strike out blindly,

don't you think?

Yes.

Whatever you do should
be done under guidance.

But whose?

I'll tell you that too.

Soon?

Perhaps soon.

It still hurts.

Well, now I'll really
take the pain away,

but I'll need your cooperation.

Well, what do you want me to do?

First I want you to
answer a question.

All right.

Nancy, do you trust me?

I think so.

I hardly trust anyone except,

well, Glenn, that's
my boyfriend,

and of course, I did
trust my mother,

but you, I think so.

I'm glad, because if you didn't,

I couldn't help you at all,

and because you do, I
naturally trust you.

In other words, what
happens in this room

must not go beyond this room.

You can depend on me.

What do you want me to do?

I'll tell you.

Nancy, have you ever
been hypnotized?

No, not really.

Oh, some goon tried
it on me once

in a parlor game at a party

and I made believe that I
was under his influence,

and then he told me to
kiss him hard,

but I slapped him hard instead.

Well, this is not a parlor
game, nor is it make-believe.

And take my word for it, Nancy.

This will help you in many,
many ways.

You see this amulet?

I picked it up in an
antique shop.

It was sold to the
dealer by a woman

whose ancestors had immigrated

from the Carpathian Mountains.

She claimed that it had been

in her family for
seven generations.

She must've made up the
story to get a bigger price.

No, she didn't, Nancy.

She told the truth.

I made a trip to that
region to verify this amulet

and the legend
connected with it.

It's a strange metal with a
cat's eye for a centerpiece.

It can heal and it can destroy.

Also it can release
frightening powers.

Look at it, Nancy, look at it.

Now, go to sleep.

Your eyes are getting drowsy.

You're getting more
and more sleepy,

but you can still hear my voice.

You can hear me and you
will obey me.

You're in a deep sleep,

and your hand no longer
feels the pain.

Touch it, pinch it, do
as I tell you.

I want you to prove
it to yourself.

It's all gone.

And that's what I promised you,

and I helped take the pain away,

and you won't forget that.

No, Miss Branding.

When I count to five,
you'll wake up refreshed,

the pain entirely gone,

but you'll remember that it's
important to obey me always.

One, two,

three,

four,

five.

Wake up.

How do you feel, Nancy?

Fine, I feel fine, it's gone.

Now you can go to
your next class.

Thank you.

And remember, not a
word of this.

You can trust me, Miss
Branding and thank you again.

Now, remember you guys,
this is no panty raid.

We know how to socialize.

We've gotta behave.

Like little gentlemen.

Sure, just like you
said, good, clean, fun.

We'll just be a
welcome surprise.

Well, I hope so, because
I still don't know

if I'm doing the right thing.

Come on, Eddie, make the move,

and don't forget, Tab,
I get dibs on the blond.

Which blond?

Any blond.

Only if there's a
redhead for me.

Hold this, will you, Joe,
come on.

Honey, you're holding
me too tight.

But I like it.

Well, of all the...

Don't be scared, girls,
it's only us.

My buddies, Joe and Tab.

Hi.

They fell in on me, they're
from Lindbergh High,

and I was telling them...

Who invited you?

We heard the rock and roll,

figured it was open house.

Well, that's out of
bounds except for girls.

You'll get us all in trouble.

No, you can't crash this party.

We already did.

So you might as well
be sociable.

Besides, it'll be more fun.

Terry, did you invite them.

I just happened to
mention to Eddie

that we were gonna hold
an initiation party and...

What's the difference?

Let's have a blast.

Then we'll go quietly
out the window.

Well, all right, but I'm
gonna hold you responsible.

Okay, it's all in fun.

Come on, I brought some
swinging records.

How about a replacement
for that pillow?

No thanks.

Oh, the sociable type.

I choose my own partners.

Okay, but wait till you
ask me to dance.

Hey, Tab, how about singing
Puppy Love for the girls?

Come on, sing, Tab, sing.

Come on, Tab.

# Oh, it was quite a night
and it sure was hot #

# I had my daddy's car
with the convertible top #

# We drove by the light
of the moon above #

# And my baby said, oh yeah,
let's make some puppy love #

# She looked at me and
smiled so sweet #

# But I felt like jumping
right out of my seat #

# I knew what she was
thinking of #

# 'Cause her eyes said come on,
let's make some puppy love #

# Well, then she gave me
that crazy look #

# And before I knew it,
I was really shook #

# So I drove like mad and
I didn't stop #

# 'Cause I that if I did,
I might blow my top #

# So I drove her home
'cause it was late #

# And asked her for
another date #

# She said, that's real
cool, my turtle dove #

# We'll take another ride
and make some puppy love #

# Well, then she gave me
that crazy look #

# And before I knew it,
I was really shook #

# So, I drove like mad and
I didn't stop #

# 'Cause I knew that if I
did, I might blow my top #

# So, I drove her home
'cause it was late #

# And asked her for
another date #

# She said, that's real
cool, my turtle dove #

# We'll take another ride
and make some puppy love #

# Making puppy love, puppy love,
love #

Excuse me.

Okay.

What's wrong, Nancy?

Nothing, I just feel a
little dizzy, that's all.

It's the excitement
of the party.

Sit this dance out and relax.

Tab, I'd like to dance
the next dance with you.

Okay.

Look, baby, you're with me.

Knock it off, Joe.

We dance, so what?

Ow, Tab, stop it.

Shh, stop that.

Cut it out, fellas!

Come on, let's get out of here.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Open
the door and let me in.

Okay, let her in.

What's going on in there?

What's going on in here?

Why is this door locked?

I thought I heard men's voices.

Oh no, Miss Rivers, I was
just doing imitations.

And this place looks as though
you had a ballroom brawl.

Oh, we've just been having
a little pillow fight.

And what were the
pillows stuffed with?

Well, the high jinks
are over for the night.

Rules are rules and it's
after 10 o'clock.

Oh, just a little longer, Miss
Rivers, just a few minutes.

Well, 15 minutes and then
all lights out.

And Nola, you better get
supplies for tomorrow's class now.

I know you sleepyhead.

You'll never be up on time.

Oh, I'm always the patsy.

Oh, wait till I get my
hands on your Eddie.

Okay, kids, start
straightening up.

Feel any better, Nancy?

I'm just sleepy that's all.

I think I'll sack in.

Do that, you cut out now.

We'll clean up.

Goodnight.

Here Nola, take one
for the road.

86 proof ginger ale.

All right, the rest of you
stay here and help me clean up.

Nobody goes to sleep until
this room is shipshape.

The Birds of Paradise are noisy,
but neat.

Who's there?

Mrs. Thorndyke, I'd like
to talk to all the girls

who attended the
initiation last night.

Sergeant, you certainly
don't suspect one of them?

Routine, but you know how
teenagers are.

Sometimes they get carried
away, lose their heads.

Well, I suppose you must.

If you don't mind, I'll
have them brought down.

Miss Branding, will you please
go to dormitories D and E.

Wake up the girls and tell
them to come down to my office.

Yes, Mrs. Thorndyke.

I think we
could save a little time

if you answer a few
questions now.

Of course.

What do you keep in
that basement?

School supplies and tools.

Who goes down there?

Mostly William, the janitor,
occasionally a student.

Oh, the janitor's been
with us over 15 years.

Does he keep the
basement locked up?

No, it's usually open.

Just the supply room
is kept locked.

We'd like to have a talk
with the janitor.

Well, I'll get him right away.

Wake up, everybody, come
on, wake up, girls, wake up!

There's been a
terrible accident.

Hurry, put on your robes.

Meet me outside of Mrs.
Thorndyke's office.

The police want to question you.

Police, what kind of
an accident?

When they talk to you,
just tell them the truth.

Now, hurry, you mustn't keep
them waiting, come on now.

Nancy, Nancy, wake up, wake up,
Nancy!

Can you imagine her
sleeping through all this?

You go ahead.

I'll get Nancy up.

Wake up, Nancy, wake up.

Come on, Nancy, wake up.

You've had a long sleep.

I know, I feel, I feel as
though I've been drugged.

But it did you a world of good.

How pretty you are after
the night, look.

I must've dreamed something
weird, Miss Branding.

Perhaps you can explain it,
I dreamed I...

Forget it now.

You can tell me about it
later when we're alone,

but for anyone else, forget it.

The night belongs to you.

It's your private domain.

No one shall intrude.

As far as the outside
world's concerned, forget it.

Do you understand?

I understand, Miss Branding,
and I'll forget it.

Nancy, I have
something to tell you.

The janitor found Nola
early this morning

in the supply room.

She was dead.

Remember now, you had nothing
to do with it, you understand?

I understand.

The police are here and
will question all of you

in Mrs. Thorndyke's office
about the initiation.

Would you sign this, Lieutenant?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I read the report, Doc.

I get the frame, but
there's not clear picture.

What do you make of it?

Only what I saw.

Well, what?

Two tiny punctures of
the external

jugular vein, right side.

Any blood?

No, that's the strange part.

No evidence of bleeding.

And what is even stranger,
not much blood left inside.

Well, now
come off it, Doc.

I've never known you to
overdramatize.

I'm only reporting what showed
on the surface diagnosis.

Face and hands ghastly pale

as if the blood had
been drained completely.

Oh, I'm sure the P.M.
will verify that.

I'd say so.

That's just how the
body looked, Lieutenant.

A shame a beautiful young
girl like that.

Mind if I say something?

Go ahead, what's on your mind?

This type of murder is
part of a pattern.

You know anything about
this pattern?

I believe so.

At Med School, I shared a
room with an exchange student

from a small town on the
Carpathian Mountains.

He used to tell us stories,

legends about vampires,
Dracula's.

He told them as though he
believed them.

As though he'd seen the
monsters with his own eyes.

He explained it as an old
world sickness

that drives the
killer on and on.

He described it so vividly,
the pictures never left me,

and when I saw that
young girl, chalk white,

the last drop of blood
drained from her,

it came back to me, the killer,
the sickness, the victims,

just as he described it to me,

as though it were true,
and Dracula.

Oh, come off it, Mike.

You must be kidding.

Don't let anyone hear you
talk like that,

or you'll end up in a
straight jacket.

Okay, make fun of it if
you like, but I believe it.

One crack like that out
of you to the reporters,

and we'll have mass hysteria.

While I'm in charge here,

we're not reviving the age
of witches and grave robbers.

I'm sorry, Mike, but we've all

gotta watch ourselves
very carefully.

One wrong word could
have the effect

of dropping an A-bomb
on Sherwood.

As it is, the teenage
students are panicked.

Look, I understand your
position, but.

Now, Mike, a good coroner
has not only got to be

a good physician and surgeon,

he's got to understand the legal

principles of evidence and
proof in court.

That's why we can't go around

shooting our mouth off
making loose assertions.

What you just said
couldn't be proved.

For the present, we'll call
this youthful zeal on your part,

but from here on in, you
just follow instructions.

Shocking.

I agree, Mr. Mayther,

but I'm doing all I can
to keep the girls calm.

In 36 years, it's the
first black mark

against The Sherwood School,
awful.

I think the school
should be allowed

the same constitutional
rights as an individual.

Let's say that Sherwood
School is innocent

until proven guilty
of negligence.

I'm thinking of the
reaction of the board.

First thing they'll do
is to cut down

on the state grant of
funds for your school.

They're businessmen
before they're educators.

They won't support a hotbed
of scandal and terror.

They may even close
Sherwood all together.

Well, how would that help?

How would that solve anything?

I don't know, but
authorities act that way.

What about the girl's parents?

They're circus performers
in Europe on a tour.

A lawyer in Chicago
handled her tuition

and checked her school reports.

They've been notified.

Perhaps the police will
find the murderer

before they get here.

In the meantime, we must
do everything possible

to keep all the other
parents at bay.

Well, you speak of parents
as if they were enemies.

That's the only way to
think of them.

Why do they send their
teenage daughters

to a boarding school away
from home, would you?

You'd be surprised how
vicious those parents can get.

When they leave their
daughters in a private school,

they also leave all
their responsibilities.

For what they pay,
little or much,

they expect you to be
mother, father, policeman,

minister, teacher, guardian,
confidant, and friend.

Mrs. Thorndyke, I
know your record.

I know your qualifications.

I know how hard you worked

to maintain high
standards at Sherwood.

Believe me, I haven't
changed my opinion

of you or this school.

It's just the outside
world that concerns me.

Just keep a strong hand
on the situation,

and let me know of any
developments.

I'll try to keep the board
from tearing you apart.

Girls, before we take up
today's first experiment,

I've been asked by Mrs. Thorndyke
to say a few words to you.

I know we're all
dreadfully upset

by the tragedy that took place.

A death of a teenage girl

is a terrible thing
under any circumstances.

The unfortunate way it
happened here

is shocking, shattering,

but we must try to put
it out of our minds.

We don't help by brooding
or neglecting our studies.

Let's remember that the
proper authorities

are handling this case.

That's their job.

Our job is to concentrate
on our studies.

The living have an
obligation to go on living.

Now, for our experiment
this morning,

we'll observe the results
when a substance

is changed from one
physical state to another.

Myra, will you set up
the proper apparatus?

Come in.

Here are the corrected
test papers, Miss Branding.

I see you're doing more
work on your thesis.

Yes, I'm revising it,
important revisions.

Then you found some
new material?

Yes, science constantly
moves forward.

Every hour brings new
discoveries.

Your own?

My own, otherwise what I
have to give to the world

would have no validity.

If my thesis is to make the
correct impact on mankind,

it must be based on what
I see with my own eyes.

And what you do with
your own hands.

Exactly.

I see.

Myra, look at me.

I said look at me.

Myra, I've spent
many extra hours

training you for a
scientific career.

In those hours we've
worked closely together.

I've confided in you about my
thesis, what it means to me,

what it can mean to the world.

Yes, Miss Branding.

That confidence must
never be violated.

Never.

Looks like we've run
into a wall.

That's about it, Lieutenant.

Every lead we had blew up.

Well, we've questioned a
few prowlers and vagrants.

One screwball even wanted
to sign a confession.

When we checked he had an
airtight alibi.

I've still got a wino in the
tank, but I don't think he's...

No, I checked your
report on him.

There's nothing there,
better drop it.

Every time we corral
a new suspect

it leaks out to the press.

The mess gets stirred up,

but we give them no results.

All they want is results.

Has Doc Lawson got any ideas?

You know how cautious he is.

Won't make a statement until
it can stand up in court.

Says could even be an animal.

Shall I close it out?

How long have
we been on it, two weeks?

Yeah, and a few days.

No, better just mark time on it.

Sometimes gotta show up.

All right, kids, kids, listen!

Here are the rules for our
Halloween scavenger hunt.

Early today I buried six
objects in the old cemetery.

In a cemetery?

Yes, we have to prove
our bravery, don't we?

Anyway, the first one to bring
back three of those objects

wins this crazy compact,

complete with rhinestones
and trick mirror,

donated by Terry.

Hey yeah, but where do we look?

We can't dig up the whole
cemetery and by night yet.

No, I'm going to
give you a clue.

Now, you find the first object

where the moon shines
most bright,

you will find an object white.

I know where to look.

Well, then I'll follow you.

You can pass the shovels now.

When I say go, you
light out fast.

It's 8:20 now.

Your time limit is one hour.

Everybody be back here by 9:20,
go!

Look, baby, why here?

I like this atmosphere.

Terry, will you level with me,
why here?

Silly, I told you.

I'm on a scavenger hunt.

What do you have to bring back,
a body?

No, we just have to dig
up some objects.

Well, count me out.

Will you stop shivering.

The kids often date here.

Tab and I thought we were
gonna go to a Halloween party.

But a scavenger hunt in
the cemetery.

No, I've had it.

I'm cutting out.

Nancy, what did you do to your,

why Nancy, what's come over you?

I can't find anything here.

Nancy, did you.

Hi, well, there's that
cold fish from the party.

Still the social type.

Come here, honey.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

You're pretty strong.

Okay, I didn't say anything.

I'm leaving right now.

Never come across anyone
quite like you.

Can't be, get away from me!

Get away from me!

No, get away from me!

Now we have three
murders all alike.

Must be the work of
the same killer.

What do you make of it, Doc?

Go along with you this far.

The symptoms are identical.

Two incisions of the
jugular vein.

Well, is the killer
human or animal?

Well, I can't commit myself yet.

You shut me up fast
the first time,

but I tell ya, this
second killing

fits in with what I
was trying to tell you.

Look, according to you we
oughta start a witch hunt.

Search for a Dracula.

Search only in the moonlight.

Protect all possible
victims with garlic leaves,

or maybe dig up a couple
rows of corpses,

and drive wooden stakes
through their hearts

so they'll stay buried.

Isn't that what the
legend prescribes?

You can't laugh away murder.

I'm not trying to.

I don't intend to.

But the way it happened,
where it happened.

Look, let's go about this
in a logical routine manner.

Now, what was the motive?

Well, it's not robbery.

No evidence of assault,

and it doesn't seem
like vengeance.

These teenagers had no enemies.

Well, none that we
know of that is.

Then it's definitely
the work of a paranoid.

Somebody with a compulsion
neurosis to kill.

In my book that means
another attempt will be made.

The psychopathic killer
feels superhuman.

He thinks of himself as above...

Why himself, there were
certainly no clues

pointing to the sex
of the killer.

That's right.

Maybe within the school itself.

We better requestion every
girl on that scavenger hunt.

If necessary, every girl
in the school.

The Lieutenant will see you now,
Nancy.

Go ahead, dear.

Come in.

Sit down, Nancy.

Now, we know you wanna
tell us the truth,

and this lie detector will help
us to evaluate your answers.

The polygraph pens don't lie.

Now, Nancy, to set your
mind at ease,

let me explain how the
polygraph works.

These wires carry an
impulse to the machine

which registers through the
pens on this graph paper.

The pens move according
to the impulses

they receive from your body.

That way we obtain a
picture to whether

your statements are
true or false.

Start the machine, will you?

Example, Nancy, what's
your full name?

Nancy Perkins.

The pen registered a
normal impulse.

That indicates you
told the truth.

Now, I want you to
tell me a lie.

What's your full name?

Eleanor Banks.

There, see the difference
in the sweep of the pens?

That indicates you didn't
tell the truth.

That's all there is to it.

Now, let's get down to business.

How old are you, Nancy?

18.

How long have you been
attending The Sherwood School?

Oh, about six weeks.

Do you
like the school?

Yes.

Now, tell
us in your own words

as best you can,

exactly what you did on
Halloween night.

Well, we were told to look

for six objects in the
old cemetery,

and each of us was given
a small spade to dig with.

Did you find anything?

Not at first, I...

Well, go ahead.

Tell us how you went
about the scavenger hunt.

I was trying to find
the first object.

Yes?

And then I saw Terry
lying on the ground,

and next to her was Tab.

Did you see anyone strike
either of them?

No, sir.

Did you touch either of them?

No, no sir.

What happened after you
saw both bodies?

Well, the other girls
came running,

and they saw the bodies too,

and we just stood there.

All of us just stood there.

We were too frightened to move.

Thank you, Nancy.

That'll be all.

Well, the polygraph
indicates you told the truth.

Can I take the girls back
to school now, Lieutenant?

Yes, and thank you very much.

That's an interesting necklace,
especially the pendant.

An antique, I suppose?

It's definitely an antique.

I'm not the type for
costume jewelry.

It's a keepsake of no
value at all, except me.

I can see you treasure
it very highly

by the strong chain
you wear it on.

Do you also wanna
question the teachers?

Yes, but we'll let
you know when.

Goodbye and thanks again.

Come in.

Nancy.

Miss Branding, I'm frightened.

You've got to help me.

You must tell me, Miss
Branding, who, who am I?

What am I doing?

I'm living a nightmare.

A horrible urge comes over me.

I feel a strength that's
almost frightening.

It takes possession of me.

I must do something awful,

but when I try to remember
all I can see is you.

I've got to know, Miss Branding.

You will and when you
know the whole truth,

when you realize the
part that you've played

in saving mankind from his own
destruction, you'll be proud.

But in the meantime, what I do,

what you make me do, I
feel it's wrong.

Wrong, who's the judge of that?

There's as much merit to
one side as to the other.

The final result will
justify everything.

Go back to class.

Empty your mind of doubts
or misgivings.

Remember the deed and the
responsibility are mine.

Your responsibility,
like master and slave?

Like brain and arm.

Put it out of your mind.

Go on, Nancy.

Go back to class.

I came as soon as I got
your message.

Thank you, Miss Branding.

Oh, I need your help
desperately,

and I know I can trust you.

I'm also trying to
control my nerves,

but it is extremely difficult.

You see, you might say that

Sherwood School is
under bombardment.

Everything I've worked for,

built up with love and patience,

being destroyed because,

because of these
dreadful tragedies.

A dozen students have
been pulled out of school

by parents and guardians
in the last two days,

and the state supervisor
threatens to close Sherwood.

I know how you feel, Mrs.
Thorndyke.

Please call on me, anything
I can do, anything.

Thank you, Miss Branding.

Now, I want you to take over

some of my
administrative duties,

which will leave me free to
talk to parents, to reporters,

to keep down hysteria
until the police

catch this fiend, this
monstrous killer.

Of course, of course.

As long as I have a chance

I must keep on fighting
to save the school.

I'll help in any way I can.

Myra, come in.

I came as soon as soon as I
got your note, Miss Branding.

Mrs. Thorndyke wants
me to take over

some of her
administrative duties,

so I won't have time for class.

I want you to substitute
for me tomorrow.

Just review what we've
studied so far

and correct all the papers.

Yes, Miss Branding.

Are you experimenting on
your own again?

Yes, I had to check
some details.

When you transform power from
one substance to another,

from a lower sphere to a higher
sphere you have to be sure.

Goodnight, dear, I know
you'll make a good substitute.

But I'll never be the teacher

you are, Miss Branding,
goodnight.

Goodnight.

Nancy.

Oh, Glenn.

I'm sorry if I frightened you,
baby,

but I've been waiting
here for hours.

What're you doing here?

Well, I had to see you.

I borrowed dad's car and I
cut two classes

and made the 300 miles
in less than six hours.

Aren't you glad to see me?

Nancy, are you all right?

All the papers are full of
scare headlines

about Sherwood School and
with this fiend running loose,

I was nearly out of my
mind worrying about you.

I just had to see you.

I'm all right, Glenn,
I'm perfectly all right.

How would I know that?

One letter from you
the first week,

and then after that you
stopped writing.

Nobody crams that much.

Nancy, is there anything wrong?

No, of course not.

I mean between us.

No, Glenn.

Let's go someplace where
we can talk, Nancy.

I tried to see you earlier,

but I couldn't get by a
Miss Branding.

She's a real creep.

She said no visitors allowed.

I asked her what're you
running here a dungeon,

and she practically
tossed me out.

Because of what happened
they're very strict that's all.

Where can we go, Nancy?

I don't know, Glenn.

I don't know any
place that's safe.

Well, let's just go and
sit in the car.

We have to talk.

I've gotta get this
thing straightened out.

No, Glenn, you mustn't.

What am I all of a sudden,
poison?

Not even one kiss?

Please, Glenn, you said
you wanted to talk.

All right, we'll talk first.

Look, Nancy, I'm sick, I'm
worried sick about you,

about both of us.

All those wonderful
plans we made,

going to state college together,

then after that the other plans.

Kids make plans, dream stuff.

You meant every word you said.

I know I did.

But the way you act and speak
tonight, I've lost my compass.

I don't know where
we're heading.

Look, I'm gonna ask
you once more.

Is there anything wrong?

Maybe.

Nancy, please, what're
you trying to say to me?

I don't know, Glenn.

I don't know for sure,

and until I do you must go back,
please.

I won't.

Now, do as I tell you!

Go back before it's too late!

Nancy!

Miss Branding.

What is it, Nancy?

Miss Branding, you must help me.

Well, I thought I convinced
you I am helping you.

No, I don't mean those
fancy phrases about mankind

and the future of
the human race.

I mean help for me.

You've got to set me free.

Free to do what?

Free to be myself.

I just left Glen, my boyfriend.

You tried to stop him
from seeing me.

I didn't think that
was important.

It's the only important
thing in my life.

I love him.

I know that.

That's why I tried to
prevent him from seeing you.

Nancy, I can't risk
having you upset.

At this point of my
experiment, our experiment,

your emotional stability is
of the utmost importance.

In the scale of the future
is bigger than anything.

Certainly bigger than
adolescent love

between a couple of teenagers.

What I feel for Glenn
you'll never understand.

I'm asking you to set me free.

Don't confuse me any longer

with this talk of a
big experiment.

I know what you are, and I
know what you've done to me!

When I was in his arms instead
of feeling what I should,

I almost killed him.

You've got to help me.

It's too late, Nancy.

We, you and I together,

we must go to the end of
this experience.

But it's horrible what
I do, what I become.

Power, especially the power
to kill is never pretty.

It won't go on much longer.

In time you'll be
proud of the part

you've played in saving mankind.

Here drink this.

It'll make you forget.

You'll do as I say,

remember what I want
you to remember,

and draw a veil over the rest!

No!

Nancy, look at me!

No!

I said look at me!

I won't, if you won't let
me go, I'll do it myself!

You can't defy me.

My will is stronger than yours.

Get away from me, get away,
please!

Nancy, open the door!

Nancy, are you in there?

Open the door, Miss Branding!

Open the door.

Miss Branding!

Oh, Nancy.

Oh, Mrs. Thorndyke,
we're too late.

I should've told you sooner.

Even her manuscript is gone,
destroyed,

years of work, the record
of her experiment, gone.

As it should be.

There is a power greater than
science that rules the earth,

and those who twist and
pervert knowledge for evil

only work out their
own destruction.

I'll call the police.
