Original subtitles

-Dr. Lee's office. May I help you?

Ms. Carson.

One moment, I'll see if the doctor's free.

Ms. Carson, sorry to keep you waiting.

The doctor is working on a patient right now.

Would you care to hold or call back?

Don't worry, you can trust me.

All right, goodbye.

O—h. Yes.

-That was your true love.

-I heard.

- You're so good, doctor.

-You're such a good patient.

-I try.

-What did she want?

-She said she was in the neighborhood, wanted to know if you were free for lunch.

She asked me not to tell you. She said she wanted it to be a surprise.

-That's fine.

-As a matter of fact,

she should be here any minute. -What?

-Yes.

-Come on, get dressed, you sneaky little bitch.

-That was a wonderful lunch, Chris.

I loved it. -I'm glad you liked it.

-Did I surprise you when I called?

-Noidea how much.

Hey, look at the time.

Better get out of here.

-So soon.

-Come on, let's get out of here.

-Chris, you have no adventure in your blood.

Just look at all these interesting old relics.

- Junk. - Chris.

- Come on, let's get out of here.

It's getting late, and besides, I have to get to the hospital.

-Just for a minute.

Come on.

- Look.

Look, Chris.

Grimm's Fairy Tales.

I haven't seen this since I was six years old.

Look.

-Very nice.

-Chris?

-Cynthia.

- There you are. I wondered where you were.

-Did you buy it?

-What?

-That Grimm thing.

Did you buy it? -No.

-I thought you and it were inseparable.

-The old guy who runs this clip joint had other ideas.

-What do you mean?

-Can you imagine the old fraud wanted $100 for it?

-What's a hundred dollars?

-I know what you mean, but you don't have to rub it in.

Even if I am, as you say,

filthy rich,

since we're about to be married, and you're a struggling doctor,

I intend to begin living with a little frugality, all right?

-I'm proud of you.

Now, if we don't get me out of here and over to that hospital,

you're going to be married to a ditch digger.

-Go away. We're closed.

-Please, let me in.

There's a book.

-Come back tomorrow.

It'll be here tomorrow.

-No, please.

It may be gone tomorrow.

I must have it tonight.

-All right.

All right.

-That's the book you want?

-Yes. Yes.

How much?

-Let me see. What's the book?

-That's a very old book.

-Yes.

How much?

-Maybe it's not for sale.

-What do you mean, not for sale?

It must be.

-Must? -Well, yes.

Well, I mean,

I want the book.

I1lpay anything for it.

Come on, old man.

How much? -Anyth1'ng.

-Yes. Yes.

-You seem so obsessed.

The book is not for sale.

-What?

-The book is not for sale.

-Look, I want that book.

-The book is not for sale.

Go away.

Wait, wait, wait.

-My God, what have I done?

-As I believe and am about to prove, the human personality has two sides,

good and evil.

This may not be apparent in most,

but nonetheless exists.

I have delved into the subject for some time now,

and tonight, the chemical components I have amassed have mixed

into a draft.

I shall intake upon myself as my own guinea pig.

In this manner, I expect to free the other side,

the hidden personality.

The potion is by now beginning to take effect.

I feel a strange conflict within me as though I believe the other side

or personality is attempting to break loose and come to the surface of my being.

I feel a great constricted sensation within myself,

a battle of the senses, faint, a vertigo.

-That's all right, buddy-o.

You're safe now.

-What?

-They've gone.

You on the run?

-Of course not.

-Yes, I'll bet.

-If I were on the run, you'd be in danger right now.

-What do you mean?

-Well then, if I were running,

I'd probably kill you just to keep from being given away.

-I didn't give you away while I passed by, did I?

-Why not?

-Because I'm on your side.

-Thank you very much, but no matter.

-No matter?

-I told you I'm not on the run, but thank you.

My, you're a pretty girl.

-Thank you.

Would you like some fun?

-Fun?

-You look like a man of means,

able to pay for your pleasures.

-Do you think you'd be able to satisfy me?

-Just try me.

-Let's go.

-Where?

-I have a cozy little place.

-Show me what you have to offer.

-What?

-Strip for me.

-Shall we make love, my dear?

-Let me go.

You must be barmy.

-Do you think that you could satisfy me?

-Please,

you don't have to pay. Just let me go.

-But you promised to give me pleasure.

- Please.

-Just a little pleasure, as you promised.

-Please, please let me go.

You're hurting me.

-Please, please let me go.

You're hurting me.

-I'll let you go

when you are satisfied.

Do you think that I could satisfy you?

-I can go when you satisfy me?

Yes, of course.

Once you're satisfied, you're free.

-Do you mean that?

- Yes, of course.

-Are you satisfied?

-Yes, yes.

Yes.

Are you?

-Almost.

-What do you think?

-Strangulation.

-I know. I mean who.

-Judging by the marks and the placement,

I'd say a medical man.

-A medical man?

Very interesting.

Yes.

-You have a call from Ms. Carson, doctor.

-Hello there.

- Hello, love.

-How's the future Mrs. Leeder this morning?

-0h Chris, I can hardly wait.

-How long must we wait?

-Two weeks and two days.

-Why wait?

- Silly.

I have so many arrangements to make.

Don't forget tonight is our engagement party.

-Why can't we run off to Vegas?

- Silly, miss the party?

-No, I'm serious.

- Chris, you're impossible.

Look, I have to go now.

I have a hundred things to do.

Don't forget, eight o'clock tonight.

-Okay.

-Okay?

I love you.

-Love you, darling.

-Bye-bye.

-Good afternoon.

-Sorry, lady.

I thought that door was locked.

Lady, what I mean is the store is closed.

-Where's the old man who was here yesterday?

-Did you know him?

- Know him? - What I mean is, are you a customer?

-You certainly never seem to say what you mean, do you?

-I don't know what you mean.

-There you go again.

-Really, Ms.-- -Carson.

-You see the old gentleman that owned this store,

he passed away, and I'm here trying to settle his estate for him.

I'm his lawyer.

- Dear, I'm sorry.

-Did you know him? -On the contrary.

I never saw the man before in my life until yesterday.

He had an old book that I wanted; Grimm Fairy Tales.

Unfortunately,

my fiancé who hates extravagances talked me out of it.

-You decided that you wanted it anyway.

-That's why I'm here. Can I have it?

-I'm sorry, but under the circumstances, nothing is for sale in the store.

That is, at least, until the estate is settled.

-If I can't have it, I guess no one else can either, right?

-That's right.

-0h, it's all right.

I won't need it for about four years anyway.

-I don't think I understand.

-There you go again, Mr.-- -Russo.

Jerry Russo.

-I'll explain.

I thought it would be nice to have for our children.

Chris and I are getting married in two weeks.

Even if we started to make babies right away,

the book wouldn't be practical for at least four or five years.

Now do you understand?

-I think I do.

-Good. Then it's all settled.

If I give you my number, when the estate's all cleared up,

you'll call me. -Perfect.

- Dear.

I'll have a new address in a couple of weeks.

I better give you Chris's office number.

Now, you won't forget to call me, will you, Mr. Russo?

-No, you can count on it.

-Good.

Thank you. It means a great deal to me.

Thank you again.

Bye- bye. B-ye.

-Dr. Christopher Leeder.

Doctor?

-That's the last patient of the day, Chris.

-Good.

-You feel like taking up where we left off this morning?

-I'd love to.

We don't have that much time, remember?

I've got that engagement party tonight.

-Yes, I forgot.

-Hey, we do have time for a quick drink, though.

Would you care to make some?

-If that's all you've got to offer, okay.

-Hey, on a second thought, never mind the drinks.

-That work out this morning just warmed me up,

so you better not tease because I'm in a raping mood.

-That would be good.

-Woo. {giggles}

Come on.

Are you coming?

-Sure.

-Come on.

- Chris.

No, no, I'll do it.

- You're too slow.

Come on.

-Oops, I got money. -A little change.

Are you ready?

- I'm ready. - Cold.

Okay.

Here's some soap.

Turn around.

I'm getting sopping wet in my hair.

-You don't have any space for a party tonight, do you?

{giggles} - Not what you're asking me.

-Let me get your back.

-What's your hurry?

We've got time for one more session before you have to leave.

-No. Hey, baby.

I've had enough for one day.

What do you think I am, a machine?

-You said it, I didn't.

-Hey, we have no time.

-Okay.

If there's no more action, then I'm going to get dressed.

If I can find my clothes.

-After the initial shock,

the body takes on a feeling of well-being.

The sensation of whatever the world of our society can offer,

the chemical potion converts the mortal being into a strength

that is able to handle and have an insight

into whatever may come.

People appear as they really are.

It is said if we could only see ourselves

as others see us,

but this enables us to see ourselves as we really are.

Whatever.

The formula I use is composed of the following ingredients.

-Maybe it was too strong.

The ingredients could've changed their chemical components over the years.

Let's see.

Two parts silicone, five drops cornathia, one ounce dromadine.

-Hello? -Chris?

-Hello, darling.

-Don't call me darling.

Where were you last night, Dr. Leeder? -I don't know.

-What?

-Believe me, I blacked out when I was getting ready,

and the next thing I knew, it was morning.

-Then you didn't hear the telephone? -I told you, I blacked out.

-It sounds very strange to me.

I think you should see a doctor.

-No Cynthia, I don't.

-There will be a messenger over to your office this morning

with your ring.

Our engagement is off.

-Please Cynthia, try to understand.

- Chris, you can't imagine how embarrassed I was.

The excuses, and-- -Cynthia?

- The humiliation. -Cynthia?

- God.

- I will have to bar myself in my chambers

for I fear as this other side of myself takes over,

and emerges to the surface.

It had begun, and where the story will end,

only nature can take its course.

The evil Mr. Hide ventures out and wreaks havoc on the populace.

-So, little bitch,

you like the look of the male anatomy?

You desire excitement, by the look.

Let's see how you cater to the feel of it.

How does it feel, little vixen?

Is it what you expected?

Would you like more?

-God, what a maniac, but I'm no better.

I killed for this book.

-That must've been some party, lover.

-I didn't go.

- Ms. Carson must've loved that.

-I found out how much she loved it.

She called.

It's all over, according to her.

-All over?

-Engagement's off.

-Argh, there go all our plans.

Now what?

-I'll call her and apologize.

She'll pull off pretty soon.

-You hope?

-We hope.

-Why didn't you go?

-You wouldn't understand.

-Try me.

Another woman?

-You might call it that.

-I'm sorry, sir. The office doesn't open until 9:00.

Did you wish to make an appointment? -Actually, miss, I'm not a patient.

I'm here on a different matter.

Is Dr. Leeder expected?

-He hasn't arrived yet. -What time do you expect him?

-About 11:00. -I'll come back then at 11:00.

By the way, do you know where I can reach Ms. Carson?

-Is anything wrong? -No, it's just a routine thing.

Do you have her address? -Yes, I think so.

Here it is. 1473 Lakewood Drive.

-Thank you very much.

You've been very helpful. -You're welcome.

-Just what did happen last night?

-What do you mean?

-That was the detective.

He wanted to see you.

-What about?

-He said routine.

-What'd you tell him?

-Tell him you weren't here yet.

-That's a good girl.

-He'll be back in an hour.

He asked for Cynthia's address too.

-Did you give it to him? -Of course.

He'll find it anyway.

Look, come here and tell Mama what you did last night.

-Believe me, nothing.

After you left, I finished my drink.

I guess I had another, then I blacked out.

It's as simple as that.

I woke up this morning, and that's all I can tell you.

-I see.

One of those 'I don't remember what I did last night' things.

-Look, believe it or not, will you leave me alone for a minute?

-Okay, whatever you say,

but everything points to you being in some kind of trouble, Chris.

Lean on me.

I might be able to help you,

no matter what the problem is.

-There's no problem.

Now, will you leave me alone for a little bit?

-Suit yourself.

-Why does he want to see me?

It must be about the bookstore.

How did he find out?

-I promise it'll be my last extravagance.

-That's it.

The book.

She went back for that goddamn fairytale book.

That's how he found out.

First thing, got to hide.

Where?

Hide.

Yes, the girl.

I'll hide as her.

They'll never know.

That'll give me time to plan this thing out.

Let's see.

First dose lasted about fourteen hours.

I'll make enough to last a week.

-Why, Mr. --? -Russo.

- Yes, the lawyer. Won't you come in, Mr. Russo?

-Ihave something for you.

- The book. How wonderful.

-Ms. Carson, may I prevail upon you to answer a few questions?

-Yes, of course, but I can't imagine what you'd want to ask me.

-Your fiancé, Dr. Leeder, I dropped by his office today.

-Why? -He was with you that day

in the bookstore, wasn't he? -Yes, he was.

-Do you know if he knew the owner?

Do you remember if he talked to him that day?

-As a matter of fact, no. Chris was very anxious to leave.

He was bored with the whole thing.

-Do you know if maybe he might have went back later on?

-No, but I'm sure he didn't.

He had no interest in the place.

-Has he been acting what you might call strange since that day in the bookstore?

- Yes. . How do you mean that?

-For instance,

last night was our engagement party, and he didn't even come.

I called him all night long, and there was no answer.

When I finally did get a hold of him this morning,

he acted as if nothing had happened.

I questioned him about it, and he said

he blacked out and had no recollection of the evening before.

-That is sort of strange.

Has anything like that ever happened to him before?

-No, of course not.

What's wrong? Has he done something?

Why are you asking me all these questions?

-It's nothing for you to be concerned about, really.

As a matter of fact, I'm supposed to see him right now,

so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to run.

Thank you very much for your help.

-Hey, what about the book? -What do you mean?

-How much do I owe you?

- That's a little gift.

-What's the occasion? Somebody's birthday?

-Cancel everything for today.

I'm expecting a Miss Hide.

Send her right in when she comes, okay?

-Okay.

-Has that cop come back yet?

-Not yet. -Good.

If he does, send him away.

I'm going to leave in a few hours out the back way.

I'll be gone maybe a week.

Ms. Hide will be staying in the apartment while I'm gone, okay?

-A new love?

-Hey, don't be an idiot. She's an old friend.

-Yeah. -Please believe me, Debbie.

I'll explain everything to you later.

Just remember, tell that cop that I'm out of town and you don't know where.

That's sweet.

-I like it sweet, but when you get back, it better be good.

-Better than ever.

-That's not what I meant.

-I'm Ms. Hide. The doctor's expecting me.

-Yes.

Won't you go in?

-Thank you. -Yes.

45the doctorin?

-No, I'm sorry.

He had to leave town for a few days.

If you'd like to call back later, perhaps he could see you then.

-Look, miss, I have a search warrant here.

-All right. Be my guest.

-CanI help you?

-I'm looking for Dr. Leeder.

-He had to leave town rather suddenly. -Do you know where he went?

-No.

-Do you know when he'll be back?

-No.

-I'll be back. Thank you.

-Where's Chris?

-Obviously not here.

-I know that.

Look, it's none of my business,

but just what connection do you have with Chris?

-You're right, it is none of your business,

but I guess there's no harm in telling.

Let's just say we're close friends,

very close.

-I gathered that.

-Chris has told me a lot about you.

Come, sit down, Debbie.

-I'd rather not if you don't mind.

- But I do.

Come, we'll have a drink.

Chris particularly wanted us to get together.

He speaks very highly of you.

41ltake a rain check.

-Now, let's have that little talk.

-Be still.

-Okay.

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

Okay, I'll be still.

-You sure know how to talk.

-That's because we both speak the same language.

- I wonder who that could be.

-There's only one way to find out. Get dressed and answer the door.

-Ms. Carson? -Is Chris here?

-No,he3 out of town.

-Please, I must see him.

-Look, I don't know where he is.

- Look, I understand.

If he's in there, just tell him I'm here.

-He's not here, believe me.

-I see.

-Ms. Carson.

-Mr. Russo.

-Could we go somewhere and talk?

-Yes, of course. My car's right here.

-Who was it?

-Cynthia Carson.

She was looking for Chris.

-Why didn't you bring her in?

-I don't know.

-You fool. -She'll be back.

-How do you know?

-I know.

-Fine.

Why don't you get out of here?

I'll see you tomorrow.

-It's early. I ca-- -Get out of here.

-I really am worried.

I told Chris on the phone we were finished.

It was his whole attitude.

It's though he didn't even care.

I expected him to call me back.

When he didn't, I decided something was wrong and went over there.

This nurse receptionist said he was out of town.

Thenl saw you.

-I've been watching the place all day.

-What about the rear entrance?

-I got a man back there.

-Then there is something wrong.

-I'm afraid so.

-Tell me, please.

-That bookstore owner didn't just die, and I am not a lawyer.

-I don't understand what you mean.

-He was murdered.

I'm Detective Sergeant Russo. I was assigned to the case.

-What does Chris have to do with all this?

-After that sudden disappearance, we thought maybe he was implicated

in some way.

-What are you going to do?

-I want to talk to him. We can have a get-together.

-Maybe I can help.

-That's exactly why I wanted to see you. Here's what I have in mind.

-What would you like, baby?

-Are you buying, sailor?

-Sure. What will you have?

-What have they got?

-Just beer.

-Make it a beerthen.

-Two beers, please. -Two beers?

-Are you new around here?

-You might put it that way.

-It's a pretty tough place you know.

-Thank you.

-A nice girl wouldn't even hang around this joint.

-I'm nice, all right, depending on how you look at it.

-Looking for some action?

-Could be.

-Think you could handle a big guy like me?

-I've handled bigger guys than you.

-When I said big, I wasn't talking about that.

-Now I am interested.

-What's the wrap?

-Let's see how good you are, then we'll talk price.

-It's a deal.

You got a place?

-No. What about yours?

-My ship?

-I guess not.

-Come on, I can handle it. -Sure.

-Here? -Any old port in a storm, baby?

Haven't you ever heard of a knee-shaker?

-I guess I'm about to.

-You like that, baby?

You like to feel it?

You like to hold it?

-Who is it?

-It's me, Cynthia.

Chris, please let me in. I must talk with you.

-Go away.

There's nothing to talk about.

According to you, we're through.

Now go away and leave me alone.

- Chris, please.

I want to help you.

-Go away.

-He's there, but he wouldn't let me in.

-All right. Now you go on home.

I'm going to go in there and talk to him. Now go ahead.

-I can't understand it.

This stuff doesn't have the same effect.

It doesn't last as long.

Maybe it's that I'm growing immune to its properties.

-You can open the door, Dr. Leeder.

-0h, it's you again.

-Told you I'd be back.

I still want to see the doctor.

-I thought I told you he was out of town.

-Yes, well, I have reason to believe that he's here.

-Look, mister, I have no idea when he's going to be back.

Could you please just go away?

-I have a search warrant, miss.

-If you insist.

-Care for a drink?

At least you'll get something out of your search.

-No, thank you.

-I know, maybe he's under the bed.

Why didn't you look under here?

No, not there.

How about up here? How come he didn't look up here?

Maybe he's hiding up here.

-You are very funny.

- And you're very strong.

-Something's wrong, there's something I don't like about this.

What's in there?

-I don't know.

-We'll find out.

-I told you he's not here.

-What's all that stuff for?

-How should I know?

-There's a lot you don't know.

First he's here, and then he's not here.

I've had a man posted outside all day long.

I'm going to tell you one thing.

If he comes back, I'm going to get him.

You can tell him that little thing if you talk to him no matter where he is.

There's one other thing you can tell him.

That I suspect him of something very wrong

and now I'm sure.

-Can I leave?

-You can do whatever the hell you want.

-You bet your life I will.

-Hello? -Ms. Carson.

-Yes? -I must see you now.

It's very important.

-Is it about Chris? -Yes.

-Is he with you?

-No, but I can take you to him.

He wants to see you.

-Where?

-I'll pick you up

in ten minutes,

okay? -Yes. Yes.

-Now, don't tell anyone.

-No, no, I won't.

I promise. -Fine.

I'll see you in ten minutes.

-Yes, all right. Goodbye.

- Come in.

I have to get dressed.

I hope you don't mind waiting.

I'll just be a minute.

-Ms. Carson?

-Ms. Carson?

- Shut up.

-Hey. Don't.

-Thank God.

-It's all right, it's okay.

-She said she'd take me to Chris.

-I decided to follow her. It's a lucky thing that I did.

-She said she knew where he was.

-She knew where he was all right.
