Original subtitles

I am a cheap, flashy tramp, and it's all your fault.

Come on, Gary. All I did was unleash the real you.

Cute.

I've been walking Hollywood Boulevard for the past three weeks and still no

of the prostitute killer.

Maybe I'm not his type.

Well, give it time.

You nab this guy, you're going to be a hero.

Yeah. Yeah.

In the meantime, these fishnets are killing me. I get home at night, my feet

look like waffles.

Lieutenant, hello.

Remember me?

Eddie Galt.

Go get him, Tiger.

Have a seat, Eddie.

What's on your mind?

Nothing.

Just stopped by to shoot the breeze.

I know most cons don't visit the cops who busted them, but I just wanted to

you know.

No hard feelings.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Oh, yeah. I'm not like some of these cons who lay awake nights figuring out

to get the cop who busted them.

You know, hurt him, maybe even kill him.

Now, life's too short to hold on to all that negative energy, don't you think

so, Sloan?

Now, what do you know?

A killer with a positive attitude.

Now, I had a cellmate once.

Hard case.

This guy told me when he got out, not only was he going to go after the cop,

he was going to get the cop's family.

You believe that?

Stop by again, Eddie.

Yeah, thanks, I will.

Oh, listen, how's your dad doing?

Still practicing medicine?

He's in good health, I hope. You never know a man that age.

Hey!

Get him off me!

What the hell's the matter with you?

Come here to say hello and he goes nuts on me.

Get it together, pal.

What was that about?

He said something I didn't like.

He's a con.

Cons will do that.

Come on, let's take it off, Steve.

all spring flowering.

The sooner you plant in fall, the better.

For one thing, the weather is more pleasant.

Dedicated though I am to gardening, I would much rather work outdoors on a

September day.

Hi, Dad. Hi, Steve. What's up? Sorry about the short notice. They're cleaning

apartment. I thought I'd bunk with you for a few days if you don't mind.

Yeah, you can use your old room if you want.

That lock is old. You're going to have to replace it.

Yeah, I'll fix it when I get a chance.

Yeah, that back door needs a deadbolt. Anybody could break in there. Steve,

is going on?

Nothing. I'm a cop. I bring my work home.

Since when?

I should have checked those locks a long time ago.

You're lying.

No, I didn't want to worry you.

You remember a guy named Eddie Galt?

Yeah, you sent him away for killing his wife, right? Yeah, well, he's out.

Paid me a visit today.

Seems his plans include revenge against me.

Well, that's nothing to you.

Yeah, but he mentioned you, too.

Me? Yeah. He's twisted, Dad.

Well, if he made threats, you can arrest him. No one else heard him.

My word against his.

So you can't do anything unless he does something.

It won't come to that. I'll keep an eye on him.

Sooner or later he'll do something stupid and I'll pick him up on a parole

violation.

There's no real danger.

Then why are you moving in with me?

I'm almost ready to test your alarm system, Doctor.

You could launch a mission to Mars with that thing.

It's really very simple. When you get home tonight, I'll teach you the system

five minutes.

I can't even set the timer on my coffee machine.

And come straight home from work.

Oh, straight home. I was going to stop and play stickball with the guys.

Hey, Eddie Golf.

What a surprise.

Oh, what are you doing, Sloan?

Are you following me?

What is your problem?

Hey, take it easy, Eddie. I just came to get a beer.

Relax. Have fun.

You believe this guy?

He's a cop.

He's following me around.

It's your tax dollars at work right here.

Hey, come on, Eddie, let's play. Yeah, you got next game, right?

Give it a rest. Let's go.

Bye.

All right.

Coffee, please. You got it.

new here. I don't know where anything goes.

Oh. Well, just give this to me and I'll show you. I'll do it. I'll do it.

Thanks. Okay. All right.

Your towels go on the shelf. That sheet's on this one.

Here.

Here.

Got it. You'll be fine.

Don't worry.

Everyone's birthday is very confusing. I can remember my first day. I was

totally lost.

But everyone helped me out. Everyone's very nice here.

Good. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Dr.

Bentley. Amanda Bentley.

I'm Eddie Galt.

Nice to meet you.

This job is very important to me, so I really appreciate your understanding.

Yeah, well, you're going to be just fine, Eddie.

Are you this nice to everybody?

Uh, yeah.

You're nice to me. I'm nice to you. You brighten up my day. Perhaps I brighten

up yours. It makes life a lot more pleasant, doesn't it?

Yeah, I guess so.

You know, I think if... No, I'm sorry. I'm way out of line. No, go ahead. What

were you going to say?

All right, I was just thinking that if I'd met a woman like you years ago, my

life might have been very different.

I'm sorry. No offense.

And none taken.

See you.

See you tomorrow.

Is there a problem in linen?

Oh, no, no, no. Everything's great. In fact, I just wanted to tell you that

worked in a lot of different hospitals, and I've never worked in one as well

-run as this one.

Thank you. That's very nice to hear.

Your name?

Galt. Eddie Galt.

Eddie Galt.

Name tag.

Carry on.

Hi, Mark.

Hi. You were right. Loss of death, hepatic failure.

Excuse me. I'll just put these away.

Okay.

So nothing unusual, huh? No.

Can you beat that? I was so busy laughing at the new delivery man's

forgot to ask him for an extra lab coat.

Funny guy.

Eddie Galt? Eddie Galt. Huh, that's funny. He struck me as being shy.

Did you say Eddie Galt?

Yeah, today's his first day.

Do you know him?

No, no, just the name.

I'm Lieutenant Sloan.

Is Eddie here?

No. Something wrong?

May I come in?

Yes.

Eddie should be here any minute.

Can I get you something?

Coffee? No, thanks.

Are you Mrs. Galt?

I'm Eddie's fiancée.

Lily Carmichael.

Nice to meet you.

Want a sip?

Thank you.

Have you known anyone?

No. I mean, yes.

I corresponded with him while he was away.

Almost a year.

He sent a letter to the newspaper asking for pen pals away.

Is any in trouble?

No, this is a routine visit.

Miss Carmichael, does...

Eddie keep a gun in the house?

I've never seen a gun.

But you can ask Eddie.

I'll do that.

You know why Eddie was in prison?

His wife died, and everybody blamed him, but it was an accident.

She attacked him, and he pushed her away.

He beat her to death.

Methodically.

There wasn't much left of her.

He's a policeman.

I know who he is, honey.

He's the guy who sent me to prison.

Recommended a life sentence, too. He went a little nuts when the jury didn't

agree. Did he bother you, Lily?

Because if he said or did anything to you, you just tell me.

Why don't you give it a rest, Galt?

You follow me.

You come to my home.

You intimidate the woman I'm going to marry.

I haven't done anything to you.

Why are you doing this to me?

Nice performance, Galt.

Miss Carmichael, if you ever need any help, give me a call.

Why'd you let him in?

He's a policeman.

Don't do that again.

Yeah. Who?

Rockwood Security.

Who are you? Oh, yeah.

I know it went off. I can't stop it. What?

Code word? What code word?

Oh, code word.

Yeah.

It's a six -letter word. Steve picked it up.

He's my son. It's a... I can't remember. What is it?

Well, I have to tell you.

I can't... Wait a minute. I think it's written down on a piece of paper

somewhere.

Oh, geez. Why am I on tip of my tongue?

Uh, I can't remember it. Hang on a minute.

Steve? It's a phone. It's a telephone.

Guys, guys.

It's okay.

He lives here.

Thank you for the quick response.

No problem.

Sorry.

You all right? I almost got killed in my own doorway.

Now watch this.

Four, four, seven, seven, nine, enter.

Four, four, seven.

You're not going to like this.

Eddie Galt is delivering laundry at the community general.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Dad, he's going to make a move on you. I can smell it. Just be careful, that's

all. Yeah, and I'll be your shadow.

Want some coffee? Yeah.

I just poked it, Dad.

This is like old times. You eating peanut butter sandwiches and doing your

homework. And I'm about to flunk my first midterm.

You never flunk anything in your life.

Mostly because your mother always quizzed you on your tests.

And then when I passed, she acted like she didn't help at all.

Okay, I guess it's my turn.

Here, I'll quiz you.

Oh, thanks.

I'll get it.

You Steve Sloan?

Yes. And you are?

Martin Selner. I represent Eddie Galt.

It's a restraining order.

You're not to come within 500 yards of Mr. Galt.

Good night.

What was that all about?

I've been following Eddie Galt.

Now he's charged me with harassment.

Can he give you that kind of trouble?

He just did.

Well, then you'll have to back off.

Just let him come after us.

That's what he wants.

Look.

Is that it, Eagle?

Yeah.

Stay here.

He must have followed you home.

Should have spotted him.

Now he knows where you live.

Right.

Hi. Hi.

Dr. Sloan?

Not yet. May I help you?

I just thought I'd drop by. We have a mutual friend.

Oh, really? Who's that?

His son.

Steve. He's a great guy going through a hard time. I just, uh... I thought maybe

I could help.

Uh, Steve Sloan doesn't need any help.

I'm glad to hear that.

Excuse me?

Lawrence, where's Mark?

He's not here.

Mr. Galt?

Mr. Brigg. Hello.

Everything going well? Oh, it couldn't be going better. Thank you. Thank you

very much. Listen, why don't you just... Tell the doctor that I stopped by,

okay? I'm going to go. You have a good afternoon, Miss Mitchell.

Nice guy.

Hell in judgment.

He's going to go far.

Well, let's hope he's back to prison.

Prison? What prison? Listen, Mark told me he's an ex -con Steve sent to jail,

and he's been threatening both of them.

I don't believe that. Don't believe what, Norman?

That Eddie Galt is a criminal.

He was just here looking for you.

Galt's out on parole, and he's made some threats.

He hasn't done anything, yet.

This is terrible.

What can I do?

Just watch out when you're around them, both of you.

I think it's about time I met Mr. Galt.

Mr.

Galt?

Yeah. I'm Dr. Sloan.

Well, it's an honor to meet you, Doctor. I heard so many great things about you.

You seem to hear a lot about everyone, Mr. Gollar.

You want to see me?

Yeah.

Listen, about that restraining order, I'm not trying to give Steve trouble. I

just want him to leave me alone.

Believe me.

I'd like to.

Could I ask you a question?

Sir? Shoot.

Steve tells me you're a skilled electrician.

Why would you take a job delivering linen?

Ah, well, that's following the advice of the prison chaplain.

He told me, Eddie, when you get out, take your time.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself one day at a time, you know?

Chill.

Believe me, Doc, this job is zero pressure.

All right.

Makes sense.

You know, Mr. Galt, you strike me as a...

Laid back kind of a guy hard for me to believe he killed your wife, but you did

didn't you I Was tried and convicted

You mind telling me why you killed her Anybody else asked me

that question. Yeah, I think I might mind but You're a healer

you're a student of human nature so

No, no, I don't mind.

She tortured me, Doc.

Tortured you?

I'm a patient man.

I'm even a tolerant man. But she was always taking advantage of me, you know?

She was always doing things to provoke me.

Everything she did, she did to provoke me.

I mean, I could tell her a hundred times how to fold sheets so that they would

tuck under the mattress smooth and strong.

But she'd just shove them under there, you know, and they'd come out. But she

would do it deliberately, all that stuff. She did it just to get at me.

You know, I mean, she was always twisting the knife.

You understand what I'm saying?

Yes, yes, I do, Mr. Gold.

Yeah, I thought you would.

I mean, there's not a man on earth that hasn't been had by some woman.

I'd like to talk to you a little longer, but I have a patient.

Ah, and I'm just sitting here bending your ear. Well, listen, it was nice of

to drop by. It's nice to get to know you.

And tell Steve.

Hang in there, huh?

Yes, I'll tell him.

Steve?

I forgot.

4 -4 -7 -7 -9.

4 -4 -7 -7 -9.

4 -4 -7 - Hello?

Yes.

Clowns.

Well, that wasn't hard. I gave the password and he hung up.

Clowns? The password is circus.

They're going to think you're being held hostage and you're trying to tip them

off. Now, Dad, it's too late for that. They're probably already... Gee, they're

here.

What are you going to do, hold them off?

Dad, open the door.

Put your hands up.

Look, I talked to Eddie Goff. I think he's a very sick man.

Dad, he's a killer. Stay away from him, please.

Hi, fella.

Remember us?

Laurel and Hardy?

Circus.

Thought you were studying.

I just thought I'd get rid of some of this old stuff.

Oh, when did you get neat?

About an hour ago. When I finished reading Fundamentals of Law and realized

didn't remember a word.

You're not throwing away your old cleats, are you?

Think of the touchdowns you almost made, really. Hey, hey, I mean a lot of

touchdowns. A lot of touchdowns.

What's this?

1972.

Vietnam.

Vietnam. Iran star.

I ought to polish that thing up. Something to be proud of.

I am.

You know, second thought, get rid of this.

In the pantry. I'll call 9 -1 -1.

Thanks, guys.

You sure you set the alarm?

I think I did.

Maybe I turned it off.

Galt did this.

He was in the house?

Why didn't he kill us?

He wanted to play with us first.

Set the alarm and lock the doors. I think I know where to find him.

Where are you going?

Steve?

Boy, how... 4 -4 -7 -7 -9.

4 -4 -7 -7 -9.

You're

a

freak,

though. You know that?

A thick...

Twisted freak.

Well, but isn't the cop with the screw loose?

You want me, Gold.

You take your best shot.

But if you come near my father again, I'll kill you.

Aren't you standing a little close to me, Sloan?

You know better, Sloan.

You're too good a cop to have let this creep get to you.

Captain, the guy broke into my father's house.

I know, but you don't have evidence. You don't have proof.

And you violated a restraining order.

I have no choice. 30 -day suspension.

And stay away from Eddie Gall.

Come on, Steve.

Give him up.

Look, Norman, you gotta call the winning company and get this guy Eddie Galt

fired. Give me a reason.

Tell me he's done something, anything.

Well, nothing we can prove.

My hands are tied. If I get him fired, he'll sue us.

You see what's happening here?

Galt has won.

He got shoes suspended.

We're living in a fortress over there. He's still got inside the house.

We haven't slept all week. I'm walking around looking over my shoulder.

As far as I'm concerned, if he kills me, he kills me.

This is out of control.

Hello.

Hi.

I was just around the corner. I dropped in.

You busy?

Uh, well, actually, I do have dinner plans. Did you mind if I ask you

What?

You got a lot of guys chasing you around, right? Rich guys wanting to

Not really. Oh, come on. Sure you do. With your looks, you could have any guy

you want.

But you do this.

You're a doctor.

You're special.

You know that?

Thank you.

Now, I really must be... No, I just... I said I really must be going.

Just wanted to say have a nice dinner.

Jerry.

I heard.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Do me a favor?

Do I have to dress up like a hooker?

Only if you want to.

Spend the night with me?

Hi,

Dad. Hi.

Dad, I'd like you to meet Carrie Foster.

We met in the Fundamentals of Law class.

Well, hi, Carrie. Pleasure to meet you.

Well, it's been a long time since Steve brought any school friends home.

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, too, Dr. Sloan.

Dad, can I talk to you for a minute? Sure. Make yourself at home, Carrie.

We finally got a break.

Eddie Galt left town.

Oh, that is great news.

We'll finally get some sleep around here.

Well, you sleep. I'll celebrate.

Carrie's really something, isn't she? Yeah, very, very attractive.

You guys gonna study?

Well...

Carrie, I... I thought I heard something.

What is it?

I don't know.

Does your neighbor have a dog?

Labrador Retriever.

That's it.

What were you saying?

Oh, I just... Carrie, I shouldn't have asked you to do this. I shouldn't have

misled my father.

Why don't you just go on back to work, and I'll tell my father the truth.

No.

Don't do that.

Why not?

I like your father.

Besides, you should let him sleep.

What about your killer?

I'll get him tomorrow.

Look, bottom line is, we're buddies, right?

You'd be there for me if I needed you.

Why don't you give that to me before you get into trouble?

Why don't you just pretend you didn't see this?

Besides, with you here, I've got to get in trouble.

Don't fear.

I can feel it.

In the kitchen.

She's on the job.

The alarm.

Told you he's an electronics expert.

Bypassed the circuit.

Stay with him.

Steve?

Well, you have to really have difficulty with intimacy and making a commitment.

Have you had problems with this in the past?

Well, with my...

What are you doing?

I found this present in the closet.

I know I shouldn't have unwrapped it, but I couldn't help myself.

So beautiful.

You're so sweet. It's not for you.

You got it dirty.

What are you going to do about it?

Wash it? Yeah, you're gonna wash it. Don't you understand anything?

This is gonna put Steve Sloan where I want him.

You're trying to ruin it!

No. Yes, you are!

Where is he?

He's gone.

All right, don't move.

I'll call an ambulance.

All

right,

last one.

I know it hurts, Lily. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You're going to press charges, Lily.

No.

Lily.

Look at yourself.

He did this to you.

No.

Eddie didn't mean to hurt me.

I aggravated him.

Aggravated?

Lily, what did you do?

What could you possibly have done to deserve being beaten like this?

Steve, can I talk to you for a second?

I'm sorry.

Look, man, I know how you feel, but you gotta back off. Yeah, I know. Look, I'll

get out of your way. All right.

Talk to her, will you, Jack? Okay.

I'll talk to you later.

Adele Kaufman, please call station services.

Adele Kaufman, please call station services.

Billy, you know, guys that do this to women, they don't change.

They apologize, and they just keep on doing it, you know?

This won't happen again.

How do you know?

He promised.

You know that cop that's been chasing Eddie?

Steve? Yeah, what about him?

Tell him to leave him alone.

That's all he has to do, just leave him alone.

Billy, you know something you're not telling me.

Billy.

Oh, my God, look at you.

Oh, I just heard about the accident.

Yeah, right.

Come on, baby.

I'm gonna take you home.

Louie?

Tell him, Louie.

Why'd you go down to the hospital?

The cut on my forehead wouldn't stop bleeding.

I'll bet Steve Sloan was there, wasn't he?

For a little bit.

Trying to get you to press charges?

Eddie, I wouldn't do that.

Honest.

See, I know what I'm gonna do with him.

I'm gonna fix him.

Permanently.

Eddie, let it go.

Please. You made me look bad, Lily.

After all I've done for you.

You have no respect for my feelings at all.

Pathology.

Make sure the Carson report's ready. I'll bring it right up.

If we just had proof that this guy Galt set the fire.

Well, the way it is, Eddie can claim that Steve said it himself just to blame

him.

This guy deranged. He's sick. More than sick.

He's a psychopath.

And what I know about psychopaths, they love playing this kind of a game.

Yeah. When the game is over, bang, bang, you're dead.

Mark?

He disappeared in my lab a couple of minutes ago. For a special lady, if I

have you, nobody can.

Eddie Galt.

He came to my office yesterday, just wanted to talk.

He told me I'm special.

All right, I'm going to go find this creep and shove this thing right down

throat. Jack, we can't prove he said it.

There's typewritten, no signature.

It's another case of his word against ours.

Well, what can we do?

First of all...

You're going straight home.

I'll spend the night with her. Jack, thanks. That won't be necessary. I can

care of myself.

Besides, I have been on duty since six, and I'm way too tired for any company.

Even me? Yeah, even you. But Steve's on the way over. He ought to figure this

out. I know this guy is obsessed with Steve, but why me?

He doesn't need a reason.

Well, there's some kind of a reason.

There's a pattern in here somewhere. Until we figure out what it is, both of

be very, very careful.

Nice.

Yes, this is Dr. Bentley. Do you have a message for me?

All right.

Thank you very much.

Amanda doesn't answer.

That's it. I'm going over there. No, wait. She had never let Eddie in there.

Besides, her building has security.

What if Eddie lured her out somehow?

Maybe. Let me try something.

Yes, this is Dr. Sloan. This is an emergency.

I need to know if Dr. Bentley was paged within the last hour.

Thank you.

You sure?

Yes, thank you.

She was paged.

The message was, meet me at Drifters.

And the page came from me.

I'm on my way. You guys stay here in case he calls back.

Doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, we can't just sit here and wait. No, I don't mean that.

Amanda's right. Why her?

Galt's target has always been Steve. The cop that put him in prison.

He's been in and out of my house. He could have killed Steve a half a dozen

times.

Who is the one person who would know what's on Eddie Galt's mind?

Lily. Don't hit me.

Damn it.

Lily, it's okay.

It's all right. It's Dr. Stewart.

I'm here to help you. Come on, get up.

This is Dr. Mark Sloan.

Take it easy, Lily. You're safe now.

Why didn't I listen to you? It's okay.

I never want to see Eddie again.

I'll press charges.

Go ahead. I'm going to call the police.

Lily, I think Eddie may have kidnapped a doctor I work with, a young lady.

Can you tell me anything to help?

This isn't about her.

It's about your son.

You're really pretty, you know.

Eddie, don't do this.

If you touch me, you're going to be in serious trouble.

Trouble? What trouble?

I met you at work.

I asked you out. You said yes.

We went drinking.

You got a little wild.

You couldn't wait to get back to your place.

So we had a little romance right here in the alley.

Mutual consent.

My word against yours.

Don't be afraid.

Eddie!

Hey, there he is.

You know, you really ought to try her sometimes.

She's a wild woman.

Let her go, Eddie.

Then you'll hurt me.

Let her go or I'll kill you.

I'm unarmed.

I don't care.

He's been trying to set you up all along.

He wants you to rot in prison like he did.

Accidents happen in alleys, Eddie.

I got witnesses.

I don't see any.

I warned you, Eddie.

Stay away from my father, but you wouldn't listen.

Now you got your hands on Amanda.

I'm not gonna hurt you, Eddie.

I'm gonna blow you away.

You all right, Amanda?

I'm fine.

Steve, Lily's changed her mind. She'll press charges.

That's it for you, Eddie.

You got the next 30 years to think about revenge.

Let's go.

What's that?

Here, take a look.

Oh, a big vacation in Arizona.

You were ten years old.

You remember how mad Mom got when you gave me that dirt bike?

Then we couldn't get her off it.

How many stitches did she get? About thirty.

You know, Mom once told me she was the happiest woman she

ever knew.

Really?

Thanks for telling me that.

There are those rose bushes by the back door. Yeah.

Is that where you want to plant them? Yeah.

I'll help you.

Well, do you want to do it first thing in the morning? No, I've got to be at

Galt's arraignment in the morning.

Something can never change, anyway.
