Its title: The Dead Man. 5 00:01:02,145 --> 00:01:05,107 An interesting meeting between flesh and bone... 6 00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:07,526 between that which walks and that which... 7 00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:09,403 You should excuse the expression... Gets buried. 8 00:01:09,403 --> 00:01:11,863 So we submit for your approval this and other 9 00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:14,366 frozen moments of nightmare placed on canvas. 10 00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:27,504 Yes? Who is it? What is it? 11 00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:31,216 I am precisely on time, according to your invitation, 12 00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:35,596 which ought to give you some idea as to who or what I may be. 13 00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:40,684 Dr. Talmadge. Short of time, temper and patience as usual. Come in. Come in. 14 00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,931 Miles! Good to see you. 15 00:02:20,015 --> 00:02:21,933 It's been too long. 16 00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:24,728 Oh, for me too. 17 00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:31,276 Well, how long can you give us this time? And don't be stingy. 18 00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:33,737 Well, I have till 5:00 a.m. on Monday. 19 00:02:33,779 --> 00:02:37,491 And if you insist, I just happen to have a second suitcase in my car. 20 00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:39,910 Put that one down there. 21 00:02:39,951 --> 00:02:43,246 They'll both reappear in your room as if by magic. Come on up. 22 00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:46,625 Something's missing. Now, what is it? 23 00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:49,920 Your patients! I haven't seen a single one. They're gone. 24 00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:52,464 Gone? All of them? All but one. 25 00:02:56,927 --> 00:02:59,721 That's him? Your prize patient? 26 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,601 - He seems to be a healthy specimen. - You think so? 27 00:03:04,643 --> 00:03:07,020 Well, at first glance. 28 00:03:07,104 --> 00:03:12,484 No, you wouldn't give up your practice to concentrate on a healthy individual. 29 00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:14,945 So, what's wrong with him? 30 00:03:14,986 --> 00:03:17,489 You're the diagnostician. 31 00:03:17,572 --> 00:03:19,825 I'm not in your class. But, then, who is? 32 00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,077 I'm flattered, but it doesn't take a diagnostician 33 00:03:22,077 --> 00:03:24,079 to remark that a man looks well. 34 00:03:24,496 --> 00:03:28,041 - If you want a diagnosis... - Oh, I hardly think that's necessary. 35 00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:31,586 His ailment would appear to me to be quite obvious. 36 00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:33,839 A first-year medical student would see it. 37 00:03:33,922 --> 00:03:36,341 What? Look again. 38 00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:43,098 What's happened to him? 39 00:03:43,181 --> 00:03:46,309 You still maintain he looks well? 40 00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:49,646 Of course not. This man is extremely ill. 41 00:03:49,688 --> 00:03:53,734 And as you say, the symptoms would appear obvious to anyone. 42 00:03:53,817 --> 00:03:56,194 Symptoms? What symptoms? 43 00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:59,823 Well, you know very well. The general pallor, the shrunken body, 44 00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:02,909 those hectic spots of color above the cheekbones, 45 00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:05,871 the wrists and arms emaciated, the ribs too prominent, 46 00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:09,541 those deep depressions here around the collarbone. 47 00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:12,627 Yes, as you say, it's quite obvious. 48 00:04:12,711 --> 00:04:15,589 The man would appear to be dying of endopulmonosis. 49 00:04:15,672 --> 00:04:19,885 - You'd swear to that? - Well, not to the nature of the disease, 50 00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:23,305 since I'm well aware that you're on to something far more complicated. 51 00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:27,058 But to the external symptoms, yes. 52 00:04:27,142 --> 00:04:31,062 Well, all right, Max. What's causing it? What brings it on so suddenly? 53 00:04:31,146 --> 00:04:35,859 The effect of some unstable drug? 54 00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:39,863 A recurrent fever? Perhaps a poison? 55 00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:42,032 Nope. None of that. 56 00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:45,368 As a matter of fact, Doctor, I don't agree with your diagnosis at all. 57 00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:48,121 - You don't agree? - No, I don't. 58 00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:52,167 I would say the patient exhibits no external signs of endopulmonosis. Not one. 59 00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:54,252 You must be joking. Look again. 60 00:04:54,336 --> 00:04:56,713 I've already looked. Go on. Look again. 61 00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:05,722 What kind of trickery is this? 62 00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:09,059 Well, Doctor, care to take another guess? 63 00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:13,855 Of course it's some illusion, but to attempt a serious diagnosis... 64 00:05:13,939 --> 00:05:17,442 Yes. Snap judgment. Go on. Tell me. Just tell me what you see. 65 00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:21,112 Well, on the surface, a moment ago he appeared cadaverous. 66 00:05:21,196 --> 00:05:24,991 Now the body is swollen. 67 00:05:25,075 --> 00:05:29,079 The skin is puffed, the color bluish. 68 00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,456 The wrists were emaciated. Now they're thickened. 69 00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:35,502 So it's not endopulmonosis? What would you call it, then? 70 00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:39,881 Auricular edema? Thank you, Doctor. No prompting, please. 71 00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:44,803 I would say... Werblin's Disease. 72 00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:48,431 Wrong again. Take another look. 73 00:05:48,515 --> 00:05:50,475 Max, I've had enough of this! 74 00:05:50,559 --> 00:05:55,105 Please, take another look. And meet John Fearing. 75 00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,692 Dr. Talmadge. 76 00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:01,027 This is a great pleasure. Were you surprised? 77 00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:04,781 Were you impressed? What diseases did I do? 78 00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:07,325 Endopulmonosis and Werblin's Disease. 79 00:06:07,409 --> 00:06:09,953 Quite accurately, according to Dr. Talmadge. 80 00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:12,664 I, uh, consider that praise from Caesar. 81 00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:15,333 Your recovery was even more remarkable, 82 00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:19,045 and I see no evidence of any disease, present or past. 83 00:06:19,129 --> 00:06:21,464 Admit it! You've never seen a man so fit. 84 00:06:21,506 --> 00:06:24,676 All right, I admit it. And I hope this time it's no illusion. 85 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:29,097 It isn't. You can practically feel the good health emanating, radiating from his body. 86 00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:30,181 It's like an aura. 87 00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:33,268 Well, that's a somewhat unscientific hypothesis. 88 00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:35,186 John, you'd better get dressed for dinner. 89 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:36,021 All right. 90 00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:41,860 Doctor, see you then. 91 00:06:45,488 --> 00:06:47,449 How does he do it? 92 00:06:47,532 --> 00:06:51,244 How does he simulate the symptoms, duplicate the diseases? 93 00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:55,040 He doesn't. You couldn't be fooled by fakery. No, Miles. 94 00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:58,084 When Fearing appears to be ill, he is ill... 95 00:06:58,168 --> 00:07:00,754 because he sincerely believes he is. 96 00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:04,049 Are you trying to tell me that all these ailments of his are psychosomatic? 97 00:07:04,132 --> 00:07:07,510 - Completely. - But the physical manifestations... 98 00:07:07,552 --> 00:07:12,265 Miles, how often have you been faced with the tangible symptoms of disease... 99 00:07:12,349 --> 00:07:16,019 when that physical evidence was induced entirely by the mind? 100 00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:19,731 But never so extreme... or brought about so suddenly. 101 00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:22,025 The difference is just one of degree. 102 00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:25,904 To some extent, we're all psychosomatic. Fearing is fantastically so. 103 00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:29,658 - Where did you find him? - Here, as a patient, three years ago. 104 00:07:29,741 --> 00:07:34,204 But not the, uh, beautifully balanced young man he is today. 105 00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:37,207 He was a sick, neurotic weakling... 106 00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,584 recovering from a case of bronchial asthma. 107 00:07:39,626 --> 00:07:43,380 Two weeks after I discharged him, he was back again... 108 00:07:43,421 --> 00:07:45,674 with a case of rheumatoid arthritis. 109 00:07:45,715 --> 00:07:50,595 Then back again and still again, parading one disease after another. 110 00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:53,598 He baffled all his doctors, including me. 111 00:07:53,682 --> 00:07:57,394 The onsets were too sudden, the recoveries too swift. 112 00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,896 So we never guessed at their emotional origin. 113 00:07:59,938 --> 00:08:03,358 Until one day he came in with a germ disease... 114 00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:06,653 and my microscope showed me no such germ in his body. 115 00:08:06,736 --> 00:08:10,115 - What accounts for it? - Mmm, heredity, possibly. 116 00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:12,784 His mother was hysterical, emotionally unsound, 117 00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:15,620 given to one imaginary illness after another. 118 00:08:15,704 --> 00:08:17,998 His father was exactly the same. 119 00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:22,252 Now, if he inherited that combination, he more than doubled it... 120 00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,047 and used it subconsciously in self-defense against the two of them. 121 00:08:26,131 --> 00:08:28,508 - Where are they now? - Both dead. 122 00:08:28,591 --> 00:08:31,845 But his body is still slavishly obedient to suggestion, 123 00:08:31,928 --> 00:08:35,473 except that now it's controlled by a stronger mentality. 124 00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:37,684 He doesn't strike me as cerebral, even now. 125 00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:39,728 Not his mentality. Mine. 126 00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:40,979 Hypnosis? 127 00:08:42,397 --> 00:08:46,026 The image of every disease he "does," as he puts it, 128 00:08:46,109 --> 00:08:48,862 has been planted in his subconscious by me. 129 00:08:48,945 --> 00:08:51,865 Of course! That... That annoying tic I was afraid you'd developed, 130 00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:53,867 those rappings with a pencil... 131 00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:58,621 Those were cues to execute commands given earlier during the trance. 132 00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:01,833 Exactly. He can't do a thing until he gets the proper signal. 133 00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:04,461 In each case, there was a different pattern... 134 00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:07,505 to trigger a different response, a different illness! 135 00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:11,634 The most important and significant response was the last one: 136 00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:15,055 The complete absence of illness, perfect health! 137 00:09:15,138 --> 00:09:18,433 - That was psychosomatic? - That's the miracle! 138 00:09:18,516 --> 00:09:22,187 That's why I've given up everything else to concentrate on this. 139 00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:27,108 Miles, can you imagine the benefits if I can transmit this power to others? 140 00:09:27,192 --> 00:09:31,321 The minds of men could cast disease out of their bodies, 141 00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:35,033 resist degeneration, reverse the aging process, 142 00:09:35,116 --> 00:09:38,536 pace the heart, stifle cancer, 143 00:09:38,661 --> 00:09:41,081 conquer death! 144 00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:43,458 Come now. Come now. 145 00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:46,377 I share your enthusiasm, but you carry it too far. 146 00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:49,464 Beyond death? Why stop there? Hmm? 147 00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:52,008 What is death? A wall? 148 00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:55,345 Or a door? Give me a definition. 149 00:09:55,386 --> 00:10:01,101 Hmm. We have some new ones, haven't we, since the heart transplants? 150 00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:04,354 We have. And if a man can live beyond his heartbeat, 151 00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:06,773 why not beyond his brain waves? 152 00:10:06,856 --> 00:10:10,527 At least beyond those we can measure. I say there's no limit! 153 00:10:10,568 --> 00:10:13,905 And I say, Max, there is a limit as to how long Cook will wait for dinner. 154 00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,865 I'll be right with you. Velda! 155 00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:19,828 Miles. The one man I would like most in the world to take me down to dinner. 156 00:10:19,911 --> 00:10:21,871 Mrs. Redford, you are halfway there. 157 00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:32,006 I hate to comment on the obvious, Velda, but I've never seen you more beautiful. 158 00:10:32,090 --> 00:10:36,344 Miles, dear, that's because I'm a happy woman. Completely content. 159 00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:44,561 Well... 160 00:10:54,779 --> 00:10:58,908 There's coffee and brandy, and cigars for those of you who can bear them. 161 00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:02,745 Not for me. They make me sick. And I mean really sick. 162 00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:05,123 John neither smokes nor drinks. 163 00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:07,208 And coffee keeps me awake. 164 00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:10,503 It seems that there's nothing here we can tempt you with. 165 00:11:10,587 --> 00:11:13,214 We'll have to develop a vice for you, John. 166 00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:17,886 How about, um... How about some fresh air? That's habit-forming. 167 00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:20,763 I could do with a bit of that. No, Miles. 168 00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:23,349 I can see that you and Max are dying to drown 169 00:11:23,391 --> 00:11:26,227 yourselves in cigar smoke and deep scientific talk. 170 00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:33,568 Miles. 171 00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:36,404 Did you see them at dinner? Never took her eyes off him. 172 00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:40,533 - You do nothing to discourage it. - How else can I keep him here? 173 00:11:41,951 --> 00:11:46,039 He doesn't need me. He's got money, as well as everything else. 174 00:11:46,122 --> 00:11:48,833 If it weren't for Velda, he'd be skiing in Switzerland... 175 00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:51,878 or sunning himself in the South of France. 176 00:11:51,961 --> 00:11:55,006 He knows this work we do here isn't pleasant for him. 177 00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:57,967 Then do it elsewhere. I'll give you space in my own clinic. 178 00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:00,678 Remove your work from your home and get him out. 179 00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:03,181 Miles, don't you see? I can't separate them. 180 00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:06,768 - If I do, I'll lose him. - That's more important than losing her? 181 00:12:06,809 --> 00:12:10,980 I love Velda. She's been my life.
