Two times nine is 18.

Three times nine is 27.

Four times nine is 36.

Come in. please.

Here we are. Mary.

I have a most painful
matter to discuss with you, Mary.

Your sister. Have you
heard ham her lately?

No, Mrs. Lowood. She
doesn't write often.

- Have you any other relatives. Mary?
- No. Jacqueline brought me up.

Somehow I never felt I
needed other relatives.

That makes it all the more difficult.

Difficult? Has anything
happened to Jacqueline?

We don't know. Mary.

We've been unable to get
in touch with your sister.

Sometimes she can be quite careless.

- Why don't you try Mrs. Hedi?
- I've written repeatedly to Mrs. Hedi.

She vouchsafes no
information whatsoever.

It is six months. Mary. since
your tuition has been paid.

Naturally. it's impossible 101
you to stay on here as a paying pupil.

-01 course.
- Miss Gilcvist and I...

...have talked the matter over.

You can stay on here and work...

...with the younger children
as sort at an assistant teacher.

But. Mrs. Lowood. I
can't just stay on here...

...without knowing what's
happened to my sister.

Maybe ii I went to New
York. Ii I saw Mrs. Hedi mysel1--

I doubt ii you'll get
anything out 01 that woman.

But if you'd like to try...

...I'll advance the money
to make the trip to New York.

01 course. my dear. Ii you
don't find your sister...

...you can always come back here.

Thank you.

Mary.

Don't come back.

No matter ii you
never find your sister.

No matter what happens to you.

Don't come back.

My parents died when I was a pupil.

I left as you are leaving.

But I didn't have courage.

One must have courage to
really live in the world.

I came back.

Gilcvist.

Agnes, John Quincy Adams did not
follow John Adams as president.

Build thee more stately
mansions. 0 my soul

As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy law-vaulted past!

Let each new
temple. Nobler than the last

Shut thee from
heaven With a dome more vast

Till than at length art free

That's enough.

It seems all right. Joseph.

You see. we do keep up the
quality 01 La Sagesse products...

...in spite of Jacqueline's absence.

But you must know someone who
has seen or heard 01 my sister.

I'm afraid not.

Your sister had many
friends, but they were not my friends.

I was only the manager 01 her plant.

Mrs. Hedi. there's one thing.

With Jacqueline gone. how
do you carry on the business?

What do you do with the
receipts? How do you sign the checks?

Why. Marv. I'm amazed.

Didn't Jacqueline tell you?

She sold the business to
me at least eight months ago.

- It's my business now.
- I didn't know that.

Yes. and I must say I've
done quite well with it.

Perhaps even better than Jacqueline.

There's nothing you can
think 01? Old letters?

Anything that might give me some
hint as to where I might find Jacqueline?

Leave your address. I! I find
anything. I'll be in touch.

- I'm stopping at the Chatsworth.
- Thank you, my dear.

Why. Mary.

- Hello, Frances.
- How are you, honey?

- How's Miss Jacqueline?
- I don't know.

That's why I came to see Mrs.
Hedi. I'm trying to find her.

You mean she's gone and
you don't know where she is?

Come here a minute.

I don't get this.

Miss Jacqueline's so crazy about you.

She always talked about you. and
she had your picture in her office.

I know.

For the first time I'm
beginning to feel frightened.

I almost feel as if I'd
never known my sister.

Nothing's happened to her.

It's just I can't understand her
not keeping in touch with you.

- I can't understand it at all.
- Well. don't worry about it.

I saw Miss Jacqueline
myself about a week ago.

At a restaurant the
boyfriend took me to.

A little Italian place down in
the Village called the Dante.

- The Dante?
- Yes, it's on Perry Street.

Why don't you ask the people who own the
place? They'll remember Jacqueline.

Anybody who ever sees
her never forgets her.

I'll try there.

I'm sorry to bother you.

- I want to ask you about my sister.
- Yes?

I thought you might know her. She
was seen here about a week ago.

Her name is Jacqueline Gibson.

I don't know no Gibson.

This is a restaurant.

- Many people come here.
- She's very beautiful.

I wish I could tell
you what she looks like.

I'm sure you'd remember her.

She's tall, with dark hair.

Once you'd seen my
sister, you'd never forget her.

- Maybe.
- Let me look at you.

- You could be her sister.
- Yes.

Yes. ii she made that much
impression on you. I'm sure it was Jacqueline.

She hasn't been here 101 a long time.

- But she was here?
- Oh. yes. yes.

One day a beautiful car comes here.

This beautiful woman
in furs gets out.

There is a handsome man
with her, and the chauffeur.

The lady vents one 01
our upstairs rooms...

...and the chauffeur
changes the lock on the doors.

Then the lady does not come back.

Not to live anyhow.

She came back three or four times.

But always alone. Just to eat.

You mean she just came
here. rented the room...

...locked it and left?
- Yes. and pays the vent every month.

Could you let me see that room?

I! it is hers...

...there might be something
there to help me find my sister.

No. the rent is paid.

The lady asked us to promise.

- I won't open the door.
- Please.

It's important.

What did he say?

He said he always wanted to
see the inside at this room anyway.

I tell you. when a
thing like this comes up...

...you've got to go to the police.

What do you think people
pay taxes 10!?

It ain't just to keep us chasing after
crooks and regulating traffic.

We're supposed to help everybody.

Now, you've got to go to the
police about your sister, rotes.

I've had some experience with
the Bureau 01 Missing Persons"

Yeah. Well, Ml. Hoag...

...lost persons are the
concern or the Missing Persons Bureau.

You stick to your
poetry. You're the poet. Jason.

Well. in a way that makes
everything my business. doesn't it?

- Were you going to make a suggestion?
- Yes.

I was going to ask you to
look into your own heart.

Do you really want
to find your sister?

Oh. my Jason.

Always laughing. always
joking to help others.

He's a good boy. miss.
He just talks that way.

I'm a good boy. but no
one listens to what I say.

Now. you do what I tell you...

...and go to the Missing
Persons Bureau 101 your sister.

- If you'll give me the address.
- Certainly.

- She was only 16.
- Had she ever run away before?

- What did he have on when last seen?
- He went out without his hat or his coat.

It's very cold 10! such an old man.

Any identifying marks
or characteristics?

Scars. amputation. tattoo
marks. speech impediments?

No. none.

Sign here.

Any further details?

She sold her business about eight
months ago to Mrs. Esther Hedi.

What relation are you
to the missing person?

Sister.

Sign here.

Excuse me. I'm Irving August.

Private investigator.
I think I can help you.

Here's my card.

The name may not
mean anything to you...

...but say the word and
I'll have her in 48 hours.

- Can you?
- Look. sister.

Manhattan is only nine miles
long and four and a half miles wide.

I ain't never been 011
it. I know it like--

Like you know your own back yard.

Now you just get me a small
retainer, say, 50 bucks...

- ...and I get your sister. I guarantee it.
- I haven't any money right now...

- ...but I'll get a job and-- -
Lady, this kind of work costs money.

I gotta cover all the
hospitals. the morgue.

That's the first place you gotta
go and it ain't pleasant, the morgue.

- You know who I am. August?
- Sure. I do.

Then you know ii I give you a
little advice. It'll be good advice.

- Yeah. sure.
- That girl was looking...

...for Jacqueline Gibson.

If I were you, I'd forget it.

Okay, Mr. Radeau. It's forgot.

Hey, Danny, get me the file on
Jacqueline Gibson, will you?

- Whom do you wish to see?
- Mr. Gregory Wald. please.

- And what is it about. Miss Gibson?
- A personal matter.

- I was given Mr. Ward's name.
- May I ask who gave you his name?

The morgue.

Do you feel all right?

I feel like an idiot, fainting
in a stranger's office.

We're not exactly strangers. Mary.

Jacqueline spoke about you often.

I suppose she told you about me.

No. At the morgue. they
told me a Mr. Gregory Ward...

...had made inquiries about Jacqueline.
- At the morgue? No wonder you fainted.

- I wish you'd come to me first.
- Then you know who Jacqueline is?

But I'd give a great deal to know.

Why?

I love your sister, Mary.

I love her very much.

It's easy to understand
now. isn't it?

A man would look 10!
her anywhere. Mary.

There's something exciting and
unforgettable about Jacqueline.

Something you never
quite get hold at.

Something that keeps a
man following after her.

Because I loved
Jacqueline. I thought I knew her.

Today I found out
such strange things.

Frightening things.

I saw a hangman's noose that
Jacqueline had hanging. waiting.

Well. at least I can explain that.

Your sister had a
feeling about life...

...that it wasn't worth
living unless one could end it.

- I helped her get that room.
- Weren't you afraid?

Afraid she might commit suicide?

People who commit
suicide don't talk about it.

No, that mom made her happy...

...in some strange
way I couldn't understand.

She lived in a world
01 her own fancy.

She didn't always tell the truth.

In fact, I'm afraid she
didn't know what the truth was.

- It's difficult to explain to a youngster.
- I'm not a youngster.

- I can understand.
- Color's returning to your cheeks.

You look as ii you
were coming back to life.

Sure you didn't faint because
you were hungry?

- You know. I didn't have lunch.
- Well. it's nearly 6. Time 101 dinner.

- Thank you. It was a lovely dinner.
- Good.

But I feel guilty. It doesn't seem right
for me to enjoy myself with Jacqueline gone.

Look, you can't make looking for
Jacqueline your life's work.

You've got to do other things. Live.
get some enjoyment out 01 life.

- I hope you'll let me help you.
- Thank you.

- Good night.
- Good night. Mary.

Miss Gibson. I've
been waiting 10! you.

I want you to know I
decided to take your case.

- Mr. August. I'm not at
all-- - Look. don't say a word.

I've taken an interest in
you and I'm willing to help you.

I think I know where
to find your sister.

- Where?
- Wait a minute. This has a lot 01 angles.

You've gotta take it easy.

Tell me. do you know a Mrs. Hedi?

- Yes. she bought my sister's business.
- That's what she told you.

I looked it up in the Hall 01
Records. You! sister deeded her the business...

- ...as an outright gift.
- Why would Mrs. Hedi lie to me?

That's what I tried to find
out. I went to the La Sagesse...

...used a phony health
inspector's badge.

They let me go through the
works. All but one room.

That room was locked.

- I'd like to see the inside at that room.
- You think my sister is there?

- Can't tell.
- Can we go there now?

You can't just go
breaking into places.

They got a night
watchman and locks on the door.

If she's in there, it won't
make any difference about warrants.

- I want to go there.
- I don't know if...

...ii I wanna go with you or not.

Which room is it?

It's the last door at
the end at this hall.

You scared?

Yes.

- Let's get out 01 here.
- No.

You could go on. Ml. August.

You could open the
door. I'd stay right here.

It's only a little way. Ml. August.

We can't stand here all night.

You could go and open the door.

Mr. August. the night watchman.

The night watchman.
he's in the salon.

Mr. August. what is it?

What's the matter?

Mr. August.

Do you know where you're going. lady?

You've been to the end 01
the line and back again.

I hope you enjoyed the ride.

Please. Please.

I want your help. please.

These men. don't let them get out.

- What's the matter now?
- One 0! them has been murdered.

What men?

But they were there.

Oh. yeah?

Extra! Murder. lead all about it!

Extra! Murder. lead all about it!

Extra! Murder. lead all about it!

Extra! Murder. lead all about it!

Thank you.

It's about another
murder. A woman on 52nd Street.

But you do believe me.

Well. the important thing is
the police won't believe you.

I saw him on the floor.

He was cut here.

The blood was running out.

He was dead. I know it.

And then on the subway I saw him.

White. With the men holding
him up between them.

Yes. 01 course. But the police would
say you'd probably had a bad dream.

He was a kind little man in his way.

And I made him go down that
hall into the darkness.

I made him do it.

Drink your milk.

I don't like to be
ordered to do anything.

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't
intend to treat you like a child.

- But you have treated me that way.
- I won't do it again.

We're friends. I promise I'll
never order you about again.

However, I won't say that I'll
not take charge occasionally.

And I'm going to
take charge right now.

- I have a job 10! you.
- A job?

Remember you told me you're
good with youngsters?

Well, today I bumped into an
old friend of mine, Mrs. Wheeler.

She runs a settlement
house down in the Village.

- She's looking for a kindergarten teacher.
- I'd like that.

It's not much money. but
it'd be enough to live on.

You'd move out 01 that
hotel to a iumished room.

Maybe the Romavis would
have a room. They seem nice.

- The people at the restaurant?
- Yes.

I! you want. I have time to take
you to see Mrs. Wheeler right now.

Yes, sir. Mr. Ward will see
you in just a few minutes.

- Won't you wait, Dr. Judd?
- Thank you.

- Dr. Judd? Are you Dr. Louis Judd?
- Yes.

I read your book in which you
wrote about the cure for drinking.

- You've not a dipsomaniac at your age?
- No. it's...

It's my father.

I wanted to talk to
you. You wrote about cures.

I'm savvy. I don't practice anymore.

I find it easier to
write about mental illness...

...and leave the
cure 01 it to others.

Yes. sir.

Mr. Ward is flee new. doctor.

There are other
psychiatrists who can help your father.

Dipsomania is rather sordid.

Thank you.

I've come ham
Jacqueline. She needs money.

I thought you didn't
know where she was.

I didn't. She came
to me a few days ago.

To put it delicately...

...her care imposes a
financial burden upon me.

She thought you
might lighten that burden.

If she wants money from
me, she can come to me herself.

I'm afraid she can't do that, Ward.

- It would endanger her.
- This is nonsense.

Unless I know where
Jacqueline is and how she is...

...I'm not going to
give you any money.

You're a curious man.

You're willing to jeopardize her life
in order to satisfy your own curiosity.

It's not just for myself I'm asking.

Her sister's here. The kid's
half crazy with anxiety.

As a man you distrust me.

Perhaps you can believe
me as a physician.

Well. then I can tell you in
addition to other dangers...

...there's a danger of
Jacqueline losing her sanity.

- I would advise against you seeing her.
- But why?

She's been ill, erratic, but I've
never known of anything like that.

You can believe me or
not just as you choose.

- How much does she want?
- She can use a hundred dollars.

- I'll give you a check.
- She can only use cash.

- I haven't got that much in cash.
- How much have you?

About 45 dollars.

For the time being. I
imagine that must do.

Thank you.

- Tell me, how is Jacqueline?
- As beautiful as ever.

- Tell me-- - She's nervous
under the circumstances.

What circumstances?

Mama. see. Miss Gibson helped me.

- It's a table.
- Beautiful. We show it to Papa tonight.

- Did Michelle eat her soup today?
- She's been an angel.

- Mommy. wait 10! me.
- Angelo. wait.

Well. Marv. aren't you the popular
one. You've a visitor again.

- Mr. Ward?
- No. not this time.

It's a gentleman
called Judd. Dr. Judd.

- Dr. Judd?
- Yes. Miss Gibson.

I've come to take you to your sister.

Don't be so amazed. It's
a very ordinary matter.

I'm Jacqueline's physician.

Mr. Ward told me you were
here. Jacqueline sent me...

...to bring you to her.
- Then you know where she is?

If I didn't know where she
was, could I take you to her?

Get your hat and
coat. We haven't much time.

It's amid marble splendors such
as these that Jacqueline dwells.

One can take either staircase.

I prefer the left, the sinister side.

She's not here. She's gone.

I don't know why she left. She
knows she shouldn't have.

She's left me to meet them alone.

|can't.

What makes you so nervous. Dr. Judd?

Who are they?

I can't stay here.
I'll have to leave you.

Jacqueline.

Is this her?

No.

- Where's Jacqueline Gibson?
- I don't know.

- She was just here. Where did she go?
- I tell you. I don't know.

You went out with her and
don't know where she went?

|don't know.

Why do you want Jacqueline? What
right have you to question me?

I have all the right in the world. I'm
Paul Radeau. a private investigator.

I've been hired to find
your sister by her husband...

- ...Gregory Ward.
- Husband?

What are you thinking
01. Bella? Can I eat dry?

Oh, the wine. I have
forgotten the wine.

Look. Marv. just because I kept a
secret ham you doesn't make a monster 0! me.

Please. I can't go on explaining
things like this to your right ear.

Last night in this very
restaurant. Mr. Jason Hoag...

...paid a pretty
compliment to my right ear.

- Who the devil is he?
- A poet.

He's sitting right over there.

That's his table. the
one at the feet at Dante.

Do you remember the first day you came
to my of lice. frightened and broken up?

And I asked you ii Jacqueline had
ever spoken about me to you? You said no.

Then how could I tell
you we were married?

And afterwards...

I didn't tell you afterwards
because there were so many things coming up...

...to make me worry.

My beautiful one. Why
do you bring me wine...

...when you yourself
are so intoxicating?

You're my favorite audience. Bella.

Why can't everyone be
happy like we are?

Laugh and have a good time?

That poor little one. so sad because
she can't find her sister.

And that man with her. he
doesn't make her laugh.

Just sits and talks.

We are happy. Mrs. Romari.
because you have everything...

...and I have nothing to lose.

You should make her laugh. Jason.

Come. make jokes 10! her.

You could have told me you
were Jacqueline's husband.

Things changed. Mary. The reasons
10! finding Jacqueline changed.

I want to find her to settle things.

What things? Why?

Why you two are so sad? Your
food will not digest...

.and your wine will sour.

You must laugh to eat well. I've
brought Jason to make you laugh.

Mr. Hoag. this is Mr. Ward.

Sit down. I'll get the
rest 01 your dinner.

I'm under orders to make you laugh.

In Mrs. Romavi's mind, poetry and
humor have some strange aflinity...

...which they don't have in fact.

She wants me to play
the fool for you...

...but suddenly, Miss
Gibson, I feel as sad as you do.

Well. then I've spoiled your dinner.

Your food won't digest
and your wine will sour.

You will have to make all the
jokes. because I'm going to be serious.

I'm going to find your sister.

Shuffle the cards well, Natalie.

This is a trick at
telepathy. not card manipulation.

Now pass the cards to me.

Gladys. will you hand the cards
to Louis while I answer the door?

- Jason. How nice to see you.
- I have brought some friends, Natalie.

- May we come to your party?
- Oh. 01 course. come in.

Now. all 01 you must remember
the cards that you've selected.

- Mrs. Cortez, Mary Gibson and Mr. Ward.
- So nice to meet you.

The cards can't speak 101 themselves.

- It's purely a matter 01 the mind.
- You'll have to excuse me.

Mrs. Freeman. yours was the jack 0!
spades. Gladys. seven 0! diamonds.

- Yours, Mrs. Gosden, the queen of hearts.
- How do you ever do it, Louis?

Hello. Jason.

Where is Jacqueline Gibson?

- What a peculiar question.
- I saw you with her last week.

I knew you'd be here
tonight. Where is she?

It's neither your
business to ask nor mine to tell.

Wait. Look over there.

Do you see that girl?

That's Jacqueline's sister. It's
because 01 her that I ask.

Why come to me?

Because there was another
girl years ago. A nice girl.

She lived in Barrow Street.

I saw her with you once.

I saw her with you twice.

- Then I never saw her again.
- She was my patient.

What was she to you?

I don't think you'd
understand ii I told you.

I think I understand without
you! telling me.

I know something of
your history, Jason.

I know you haven't
written 10110 years.

I've lost the knack.

After that wonderful first book?

After all the adulation
and good reviews?

I'd have given anything to
have written that book.

You had all my
admiration and respect...

ONCE.

There you are.

Do you know any more card tricks?

Hello. Ward.

My dear Miss Gibson.

Gibson? Are you Jacqueline's sister?

- Yes. do you--
? - Know her?

My deal. we were intimate. The
times we used to have together.

I bet she never told you
about that. You're too young.

I'm afraid you don't understand.

Miss Gibson's sister is missing.

Missing? Well. no wonder.

When she took up with Louis Judd. she
went out at circulation just like that.

My deal. have I said something?

Too many people here.

Perhaps Jacqueline is lonely 101 me.

You see, Mary, I'm not quite a fool.

At least you knew about Dr. Judd.

- Yes.
- And you knew he'd be here.

Yes.

And now that I've shown you that I
know that much. and can guess move...

...will you trust me
to look 10! Jacqueline?

I want you to look 10! Jacqueline.

I'm a terrible failure, Mary.

A book clerk by day
and a poet by night.

Not a very good one.

But if you'll trust me, at
this one thing I won't fail.

I'll find your sister.

You have such lovely hands. Miss
Gottschalk. So slim and capable.

Mr. Hoag. I really shouldn't be
doing this. It's against the rules.

Why did you say you wanted them?

I'd like to see what books my friends
read so I'll know what to buy them.

Nothing nicer than a book for a gift.

Who was the first one? Mrs. Hedi?

P.0.R...

Yes. here it is.

- And the other was Judd?
- Yes. Dr. Louis Judd.

He's here too.

Would it be asking too much for
you to get me these books?

No. not at all. Mr. Hoag.

Why, Mr. Hoag, most of these
books are on the closed shelf.

You'll have to get permission.

I wouldn't want to take them
out. I'd like to look at them.

Well. since you're over 21.

Mimi.

Come in.

Well. what is it?

A parallelogram with a split
triangle in its very center.

Hound out that Mrs. Hedi reads
the same books as Dr. Judd.

- I don't think that's so revealing.
- But who is Judd?

A psychiatrist. It's quite
natural that he should read books...

...on the history 01
old religious societies.

But why should Mrs. Hedi. a
woman with a beauty parlor?

- I don't know.
- That's just it.

And this figure. she traced it.

The book I saw at the
library had been marked "perfect"...

...by the library inspector in March.

Mrs. Hedi had it out in April. and
no one else had read it since.

This figure is the
symbol 0! the Palladists.

It's all clear to me now. So clear.

I thought so. but just to be sure
I'll tell you that the Palladists...

- ...are a society 01 devil worshippers.
- Devil worshippers?

But. look. I'm serious.

It's a very real and earnest
society. A dangerous society.

I can imagine.

Sometime before those nice
white gloves are dry...

...you're going to go and find
out a few things about this Mrs. Hedi.

Is Mrs. Hedi nice to work 101?

Oh. Redi's all right.

But there's only one Miss Jacqueline.

Mrs. Hedi seems
rather an odd woman to me.

She's really a pretty good son.

What does she do with
herself after business hours?

It's always seemed to me that she
was son 01 lonely and unhappy.

Well. Mary. I guess most people are.

There. that's it.

In the old days. this
would've been on the house.

The tip is anyhow. Besides.
I like to do your hair.

Thank you.

Do you know what this is, Frances?

Why, I ought to.

Mrs. Redi's new trademark.

Of course, I should've known.
This figure's been puzzling me.

Hello. Mary. It's nice to see you.

- No news of Jacqueline?
- I'm afraid not.

Well. that's too bad.

What did she want?

Nothing. I just did her hair.

What were you talking about?

Nothing.

Nothing? Why. that's absurd.

I heard you laughing and
talking. She was asking questions.

Oh. well. she was asking about you.

Whether it was nice to
work 101 you or not.

And that was all?

Well. she asked about the trademark.

- What did she want to know?
- She showed me a drawing.

Oh, you fool.

Why, that symbol is us.

Us. She was asking about us.

- Mary?
- Yes.

This is Mrs. Hedi. Mary.

Oh. I'll be out in a minute.

That won't be
necessary. I haven't much to say.

If I were you, Mary,
I'd go back to school.

I'd make no further
attempt to find Jacqueline.

I can't give up looking
10! her. Mrs. Hedi.

No matter what you've hinting at.

I have no intention
whatsoever at hinting.

Your sister, Mary, is a rnurderess.

She killed Irving August.

Stabbed him out 0! flight when
he discovered where she was hiding.

I don't believe you.

I had to help get lid 01 the body.

You saw it on the subway.

And I warn you. Mary. go back.

You don't know what you're doing...

...or what dreadful things you might
bring about by looking for your sister.

You go back to school.

I'm sorry to be late. Natalie.

We haven't begun tea yet.

- Hello, Frances.
- Hello, Mrs. Hedi.

- How do you do?
- Mrs. Hedi.

Won't you pour?

I'm savvy. I'm nervous.

- This is very trying 101 me.
- I know.

You introduced Jacqueline to us.

- But how could you tell?
- I should've known.

She had no sincerity, no real belief.

Miss Rowan. do you take cream?

Please. Natalie. would
you mind pouring?

You shouldn't be nervous.

There's nothing personal or
vengeful in what we are about to do.

We have only to make a decision.

But it can be such
a horrible decision...

...because we've all
pledged to nonviolence.

- Now. this-- - Our
founder must have known...

...when he wrote these seemingly
contradictory rules.

The rule 01 nonviolence...

...and the law that whoever
betrays us must die.

- He must have known.
- But I don't understand it.

Some of us, Frances, must
believe without understanding.

Yes. I suppose so.

I went back through
the history last night.

I read about Johann Rozenquanz.

- I read what he wrote about-- -
I can quote it fully, Mrs. Hedi.

�We will avoid violence.

For once undertaken. violence
can become its own master...

- ...and lead to either good
or evil." - But he also wrote--

I can quote that too.

�Those who go out into the
marketplaces and speak 0! us...

...and give knowledge 01
our being and our deeds...

...whomsoevev doeth this shall die.�

I'm puzzled.

Since our order was founded...

...six betrayals have been listed.

And six deaths as punishment.

- And now there's Jacqueline.
- Oh. but...

But you can't do anything to her.

You mustn't hurt her.

- But she betrayed us, Frances.
- She didn't betray us.

She was only going to a
doctor. A psychiatrist.

She told him,
Frances. She told him about us.

I know this is difficult 101 you.

- I know that you love her.
- But she didn't betray us.

Even ii I believed that. I would
still consider her a very dangerous woman.

There is the matter 01
Irving August's death.

Without consulting me. Mrs.
Hedi was ill-advised enough...

...to have the body
removed by Leo and Duvk.

This makes us all a
party to the crime.

What ii there's a trial?

What ii Jacqueline is asked about
the removal 01 the body?

Do you think, Frances, that
she will keep silent?

It is a real danger and one
which forces our decision.

- And Jacqueline's sister?
- I've taken care 01 Mary.

I've spoken to her. and
she's going back to school.

Good. Then it is decided.

Leo and Duvk and I will
complete our plans.

Mary.

This is wonderful, your
coming here so unexpectedly.

It's almost like a wish come true.

I want to show you my room.

I want you to see all 01 it.

But it's a small room. Jason.

It's grown big with the years.

And my window. through
which I see the world.

It's beautiful. That
searchlight and the stars.

Oh. that's not a Searchlight.

It's a sword blade. cutting
the blue cloak at a prince.

- Not stars"
- Jason.

I'm going back to
Highclifle. I've come to say goodbye.

But I thought your coming up
here to the third floor to see me...

Well. that it was your
advent into my world.

It turns out to be goodbye. Why?

Please don't make me tell you. Jason.

I thought I was your friend, Mary.

Just goodbye isn't
enough 10! a friend.

I had begun to write again.

That's what I was
doing when you came in.

It's because 01 Jacqueline.

I can't go on looking 10! her.

You went to see Mrs. Hedi.

She told you something. What was it?

Jacqueline's a muvdevess.

She killed a man.

- You believe that?
- I have to.

It was Irving August.

Everything Mrs. Hedi said.
It tits in with what I saw.

She even knew that I'd
seen his body on the subway.

But ii it's true. then...

...there's all the more
reason for you to find Jacqueline.

And Gregory, he loves her.

He loves you. Mary. You'll
have to tell him.

He's Jacqueline's husband. I can't.

But you've got to tell him. Mary.

Even it only tor the practical reason
that he's a lawyer and will know what to do.

I'm going to phone him.

Well. she's got to be found.

That's the first step.

She's got to be found so she
can give herself up to the police.

But we've tried so long to find her.

Judd could tell us. ii he would.

- Do you think he knows about this?
- I don't know.

Well, he's clever, and
he's cautious in his way.

I think ii he knew he'd
advise her to do what I want.

Surrender herself to the
police and stand trial.

I don't think he knows.

We could tell him.

- Could you find him?
- I suppose so.

I guess I could pick
him up somewhere.

Jason.�

.I sometimes wonder.

You're so sweet to me.

So kind and sympathetic.

I don't know how I
can ever thank you.

Thank me?

You don't have to thank me.

- What's that?
- Verse.

Verse I wrote.

Don't bother going up. I
can do this all night. Jason.

Watch.

Following me to find Jacqueline?

Well. it won't work. Love
and understanding...

...won't make a good
detective out 01 a recalcitrant poet.

Actually. there are two
favors I want to ask.

One as a poet. one as a detective.

Sounds strange. I'm
going to be very wary.

Some time ago. you
spoke about my writing again.

I want your help.

I'd like you to bring
this to your publisher.

This is curious. Jason.

Hal! the time you talk as ii
Shakespeare weren't fit to tie your shoelaces.

Now this sudden humility.

I should like people to
read what I have written.

I hope it'll find as much
favor as your other book.

But somehow I doubt it.
The time is out 01 tune.

Why not let your
publisher judge that?

Wait. There's that other favor.

- I'd forgotten.
- Tell me where Jacqueline is.

- We've got to find her.
- You don't expect me to do that. do you?

- Yes. when I tell you.
- Tell me what?

You'll have good enough
sense to tell us where she is...

...when I tell you she's a
muvdevess. She killed a man.

Tell me. why this
sudden desire to publish?

To awaken like Byron and
find yourself famous?

- I think it's time.
- No other reason?

No woman? Not the little Miss Gibson?

Perhaps.

Wait a minute. I'll call her.

Jacqueline. this is Judd.

Jacqueline.

- Who is it?
- Judd.

I'm here with your
sister. Come on down.

Oh. Mary.

Jacqueline.

It's all right.

You're safe. Nothing's
going to hurt you.

- Your husband seems very certain 01 that.
- Yes.

I'm very certain there's only
one way to help you. Jacqueline...

...to protect you. You've
got to come with us.

Let me do all I can as a lawyer to
straighten out Irving August's death.

You must come with us. darling.

Let us help you.

For me, this seems to be the
end of a delightful relationship.

Here. This will put
some life into you.

It's like coming back to life.

It would be much easier. Jacqueline.
Ii you told me exactly what happened.

I'd know what to do 101 you.

Please. Jacqueline.

You know about the Palladists.

You know who they are...

...what they are.

I was one 0! them.

Jacqueline was
always a sensationalist...

...trying to seize onto something.

Anything to bring her happiness.

Through Mrs. Hedi. she
stumbled onto the Palladist movement.

It appealed to her.

I wasn't happy with them.

I wanted to break away.

I was miserable.

I went to Louis 10! help.

They ielt that I'd betrayed them.

They wanted me to die.

Kill myself.

They kept me locked up at La Sagesse.

I was there such a long time.

Imagine the effect of such
imprisonment on Jacqueline.

I was terrified.

The darkness in the
corners of the room...

...all the little noises.

Then one night the door opened.

A man came in.

Tiptoeing in.

I had a scissors in my hand.

I struck at him.

Don't. We know what
happened. Don't go on.

Any court in the
land would understand.

We'll wait a law days. let you
rest. then we'll go to the police.

Why can't Jacqueline stay
here with me for a few days?

You'd like that. wouldn't you?

There's my old friend.

The Searchlight?

- Cyvano's sword.
- That's a tunny thing to call it.

I like it.

I've always loved the story.

A man knowing he couldn't
have the woman he loved...

...and wooing her 10! his friend.

We're friends, aren't we, Gregory?

It's been a hard
evening 101 both 01 you.

Perhaps you ought to take
Jacqueline to your room. Mary.

Good night. Jacqueline.

- Good night. Mary.
- Good night.

This is no time to play Cyrano.

What was in your mind?

I wanted to get things
clear 10! Jacqueline.

- To let her know.
- To let her know what?

That you love Mary.

She'll have to know sometime.

No! hum me.

Not ham Mary.

Goodbye. darling. I'll
only be gone until 3.

- Bye.
- If you get lonely...

...go down and see Mrs. Romavi. I
told her you were staying with me.

I won't be lonely.

Yes. this is Mary.

But she couldn't have gone out.

No.

Are you sure it wasn't
Jason she went with. or Mr. Ward?

Two men?

No.

I'll get home as soon
as I can. Mr. Romavi.

The acceptance 01 a
secret is an obligation.

In this case. the
obligation carried the necessity...

...of dying if one betrayed that
secret. You understand that, don't you?

Yes. I understand it.

Then you also
understand that you must die.

No.

You've spoken so
often 01 ending it all.

I can't understand why this
should be so difficult 101 you.

- You have only to drink a little.
- Yes. Jacqueline.

You were always talking suicide, of
ending your life when you wanted to.

Yes.

- When I wanted to.
- It doesn't matter.

You want to now. You should want to.

It is your obligation. your duty.

You have only to stretch out your
hand. take up the glass and drink a little.

It won't hurt.

No. no. no.

You have a strange
kind 0! courage. Jason.

Perhaps you have enough
courage to hear...

...what I've kept ham
you all these years.

That girl you loved...

...that other patient at mine...

She didn't disappear.

She's in an asylum. A
horrible, raving thing.

I never wanted you to know.

And all the while...

...you've been my friend.

Please...

...may I have a drink 01 water?

I'm very thirsty.

Drink.

No.

There will be no water, and there'll
be no rest. You may as well drink.

No. no!

I! you like. I'll go
with you to dinner.

- I'd like that.
- Jason.

I can't find Gregory. I've
been trying to find him.

What's wrong. Mary?

Jacqueline. Mr. Romavi phoned me.

She went out this afternoon with
two men he'd never seen before.

- They may have been friends of hers.
- No.

She wouldn't go with
anyone unless compelled.

These months of hiding have made her
frightened of the streets and people.

- I wonder...
- What?

They may have found her.

Would they hurt her?

|don't know.

You'd better go up to your
room and wait 10! us. Mary.

Go ahead. Jacqueline.

Go ahead.

It is late.

Drink it. Jacqueline. There's
nothing else 101 you to do.

They say you've got to die.

Drink it. Jacqueline! You've
got to! I can't stand this!

No. No. I can't let you die!

The only time I was ever happy
was when I was working with you.

You were always so good to me.

You may go now. Jacqueline.

The decision was against
violence, but there'll be another decision.

Today. tomorrow...

...we'll find you.
but now you may go.

I told you you could go.

Please help me. There's
a man following me.

- I shouldn't wonder, babe.
- I'm serious. Help me.

I'll help you to a beer and a
sandwich. Come along. babe. Come along.

Who are you?

I
- m Mimi.

- I'm dying.
- No.

Yes. I've been quiet.

Oh. ever so quiet.

I hardly move.

And yet it keeps coming all
the time. closer and closer.

And I rest and I rest...

...and still I'm dying.

And you don't wanna die?

I've always wanted to die.

- Always.
- I'm ahaid.

And I'm tired of being
afraid. Of waiting.

- Why wait?
- I'm not going to wait.

I'm going out. and I'm going
to laugh and dance...

- ...and do all the things I used to do.
- And then?

|don't know.

You will die.

Now that you've hounded and worried
her you don't even know where she is.

At least tell me. has she been here?

Yes. She left here an hour ago.

She may even be home by
now. Why don't you try it?

All right. Jason.

The devil worshippers.

The lovers 0! evil.

It's a joke.

Pathetic little joke.

We haven't asked your opinion.

I propose to give it to you anyway.

You're a pool. wretched
group 01 people who have...

...taken the wrong turning.

Wrong?

Who knows what is wrong or right?

If I prefer to believe in satanic
majesty and power, who can deny me?

What proof could you bring that
good is superior to evil?

It's hard to put into
words. but you're wrong.

One proof.

I'll prove you wrong.

This afternoon Jason and
I were talking together...

...and I remembered certain
phrases from childhood.

Simple half-forgotten words.

It was the Lord's Prayer.

I'm a physician...

...yet not I nor any 01 my
colleagues. no matter how learned...

...have ever found a substitute 10!
those words as a rule 101 human relationship.

You might remember them.

Forgive us our trespasses...

...as we forgive
those who trespass against us.

There's a sentence 101 you
people ham that same player:

Lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.

All right. thank you very much.

That was Dr. Judd. Mary.

He phoned to say Jacqueline's
on her way here.

_G,eg�.yes? Vv.

You better take
Jacqueline with you tonight.

That's what I
should have done yesterday.

I'll take her away some
place where she can rest.

Mary.

No. stay nearby. I
want to talk to you.

I love you.

- You know that.
- Yes.

I've never loved
anyone before, Gregory.

And I do love you.

You must know that.

But Jacqueline's my sister...

...whom I'd lost and found again.

I know.

- I shouldn't have told you.
- No. I'm glad.

At least I've heard you say it.

[run to death...

...and death meets me as fast.

And all my
pleasures are like yesterday.
