[chain saw revving]

S USA S

[man] It's a sunny, woodsy day in Lumberton,

so get those chain saws out.

This is the mighty W-O-O-D, the musical voice of Lumberton.

At the sound of the falling tree -

[wood cracking, thuds]

...it's 9:30!

There's a whole lot of wood waitin' out there, so let's get goin'.

[nurse] Mr. Beaumont?

Your son Jeffrey's here to see you.

[woman on PA] 7894.

Hey, Dad.

[Mr. Beaumont exhales]

[inhales, whimpers]

[sobbing]

[car horn honks twice]

Um, do you have a Detective Williams still working here?

Yes, he's up in Room 221. Right up the stairs, through that door.

Thanks.

Detective Williams?

Yes?

My name is Jeffrey Beaumont. I live near you.

I believe you know my father, Tom Beaumont?

Beaumont's Hardware Store?

Sure, I do. I understand he's in the hospital. How's he doing?

He's okay, I guess. I hope.

They're doing tests. That's why I'm home from school.

Anyway, I was at the hospital this morning, and coming home through the field,

behind our neighborhood, there behind Vista,

I, uh... found an ear.

You did? A human ear?

Yeah. I thought I should bring it to you.

Yeah, that's right. Let's take a look at it.

Yes, that's a human ear, all right.

Let's take it down to the coroner's office and see what they make of it.

Then I want you to show me exactly where you found it.

All right.

[man] We'll check the morgue records,

but I don't recall anything coming in minus an ear.

The person may very well still be alive somewhere.

What can you tell about the person from the ear?

Well, once the tests are done, quite a lot.

Sex, blood type, whether or not the ear came off a dead person.

Also, it looks like the ear was cut off with scissors.

-I'm goin' out for a while. -Do you want the car?

-No, I'm just gonna walk around. -All right.

Oh, Jeffrey, you're not going down by Lincoln, are you?

No, I'm just gonna walk around the neighborhood. Don't worry.

Okay, honey.

[low rumbling]

Hello. My name is Jeffrey Beaumont.

Is Detective Williams here?

Oh, yes. Yes, Jeffrey, come on in.

Thanks.

[Williams] Well, now, Jeffrey, you found something which is very interesting to us.

Very interesting.

I know you must be curious to know more.

But I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you not only not to tell anybody about your find,

but also not to ask more about the case.

One day when it's all sewed up,

I'll let you know all the details.

Right now, though, I can't.

I understand.

I'm just real curious, like you said.

I was the same way myself when I was your age.

I guess that's what got me into this business.

Must be great.

It's horrible too.

I'm sorry, Jeffrey. That's the way it has to be.

Anyway, I know you do understand.

Sure.

-Thanks for the card for my dad. -Oh, you're welcome.

-It was nice to finally meet you, Jeffrey. -You too.

-Say hello to Sandy for me. -We will.

Okay.

-[door opens] -Good night, Jeffrey.

Good night, Detective Williams.

Are you the one that found the ear?

How did you know?

I just know, that's all.

-I remember you from Central. -Oh, yeah?

-Are you a senior? -Yup.

-How is Central these days? -Terrible. [chuckles]

-I don't know. Boring. -Yeah. What else is new, right?

Really. So what are you doin' now?

Uh, I'm home from school. My father's in the hospital.

-That's too bad. -Yeah.

So, what do you know about the ear?

Didn't my father tell you not to talk about it?

-Yeah, but you brought it up. -[chuckles]

-You know anything? -I don't know much but bits and pieces.

-I hear things. -Yeah?

My room is right above my father's office, so...

Above your father's office?

-So I heard a few things about the ear. -Uh-huh. And?

Well... there are a couple of cases I get mixed up on.

Hmm?

But one name that keeps coming up is this woman singer.

She lives in an apartment building that is real close to your house.

It's also close to the field where you found the ear.

[Jeffrey] It's a strange world, isn't it?

Yeah.

Do you know where this woman's apartment building is?

Yeah. It's really close by. That's what's so creepy.

They had her under surveillance for a couple of months,

'cept I don't know what they found out 'cause she's not my dad's case, so...

I, uh, guess you gotta get back home pretty soon, huh?

Mmm, not really. Why?

Well, um...

You wanna see the building.

Yeah.

-Come on. I'll show you. -Okay.

Hey, baby. Hey, babe.

That's her building right there.

She lives on the seventh floor.

Come on.

So... uh, what are you gonna do now that you're home?

I've gotta help out at my father's hardware store.

They're giving me my own hours, which is nice.

[Jeffrey chuckles] I used to know a kid that lived there.

Had the biggest tongue in the world.

[both laughing]

What happened to him?

I don't know.

He moved away. All my old friends are gone.

You know the chicken walk?

What's that?

[laughing]

That's kind of interesting.

[laughs]

[chattering, laughing]

[tapping]

-Coffee time. -[Jeffrey] Yo!

Hey, Double Ed, where are the overalls?

They're on the bottom shelf, rolled up,

where they've always been.

Hey, Ed, how many fingers?

Four

I still don't know how you do that.

Now listen. You sure you don't need me or this rig for a while?

Well, if you wanna spray for bugs, Jeffrey, it causes us no pain.

Okeydokey, Double Ed.

-Oh, it's so good to have you back. -Yeah, sure.

[chuckling]

[chattering]

You hungry or thirsty, or both?

I don't know. [chuckles]

I'd like to talk to you about something.

Wait just a minute.

Listen. Don't you guys dare say anything to Mike, all right?

-Sure. -It's not what you think, okay?

-Promise? -Whatever you say.

I don't wanna cause any trouble.

I'm here, aren't I?

-Yeah, he is nice-lookin' -Yeah.

You ever been to Arlene's?

Of course.

[Sandy chuckles]

Now, are you gonna tell me why we're here?

There are opportunities in life

for gaining knowledge and experience.

Sometimes it's necessary to take a risk.

Now, I got to thinking, I'll bet someone could learn a lot

by getting into that woman's apartment.

You know, sneak in, hide, and observe.

-Sneak into her apartment? -Yeah.

Are you crazy?

Jeffrey, she's possibly involved in murder.

-This is givin' me the creeps. -Now just settle down.

I have a plan which I think will work.

There's very little for you to do, but I do need your help.

Don't you even wanna hear the plan?

Well, you can tell me any plan you want, but it's not going any further than this diner.

Sandy, don't take that attitude.

All right.

The first thing I need is to get into her apartment

and open a window that I can crawl into later.

How are you gonna do that?

Right out in the car I happen to have some old overalls and a bug-spraying rig.

I will go to her apartment. I will be the pest-control man.

I will spray her apartment.

After a few minutes, you knock on the door, drawing her attention away from me,

at which time I will then jimmy a window.

And what am I supposed to say when she comes to the door?

-You will be a Jehovah's Witness. -[chuckling]

I have some Awake! magazines for you.

I don't need very much time. Just a few seconds.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I mean, it sounds like a good daydream, but... actually doing it's too weird.

It's too dangerous.

Sandy, let's just try the first part.

No one will suspect us because no one would think two people like us

would be crazy enough to do something like this.

You have a point there.

Give me at least three minutes from when I'm through the door.

I can stall if it's more, but I need time to find a good window. All right?

All right.

Let's go.

Here 1 go.

Wait a minute. What's her name?

Oh, brother, Jeffrey.

Dorothy Vallens, seventh floor.

Look on her mailbox for the number, bright boy.

-Thanks. -[laughs]

Dorothy Vallens, seventh floor.

Okay. Good luck.

Good luck yourself.

Three minutes. No sooner.

[low electronic buzzing]

[liquid dripping]

Yes? What is it?

Pest control. I gotta do your apartment.

[groans]

That stuff stinks.

Well, this is new stuff. There's no smell.

Good.

[door closes]

Just need to do the kitchen.

[spraying]

[knocking]

Grand Central Station.

[door opens]

It's only the bug man.

[man scoffs]

[spraying stops]

[door closes]

-That should do it. -Yeah?

[door opens, closes]

[sighs] Are you all right?

Yeah. What happened?

Well, I was just about to go to the door when that guy did my job for me.

-Was it all right? -Yes and no. Did you recognize him?

I only saw his back.

It sounded like he went out a door at the end of the hall.

Yeah. I didn't get a very good look at him either, but he sure looked at me.

I didn't have time to get a window, but I found these keys.

It's pretty nifty, huh?

Yeah, if they open the door.

Yeah.

So, what's next?

Are you game for more?

I owe you one since I goofed this one up.

You didn't goof it up. But... you still owe me one.

I'm gonna try and sneak in tonight.

It's Friday. Do you have a date?

Yeah. I do.

Well, that does that.

[engine starts]

You really wanna do this, don't you?

I don't want you to get involved.

I do, but if something went wrong...

Like you said, they may be involved in murder.

Okay. I'll tell Mike I'm sick.

Just so the record is kept straight, though,

I love Mike.

What do you want me to do?

Well, first we'll have a really nice dinner.

Try to find out where Dorothy Vallens sings.

I already know. It's the Slow Club on Route 7.

Great. I'll pick you up about 8:00?

Uh, yeah. But don't pick me up. My dad might think it's strange.

I'll walk over to your house. I'll be there at eight o'clock. Okay?

Okay. You better get out before someone sees us.

Okay.

See ya!

[engine starts]

[patrons chattering]

Wait.

Here's to an interesting experience, huh?

I'll drink to that.

Man, I like Heineken.

You like Heineken?

Uh, well, I never really had a Heineken before.

You never had Heineken before?

My dad drinks Bud.

Ah. King of beers.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Blue Lady, Miss Dorothy Vallens.

Jeffrey, you shouldn't do this.

Why not?

'Cause it's crazy. [chuckles]

And dangerous.

-My God, I should have never told you. -I'll be all right.

I don't think you should stay here though. I think you should go home.

Can you drive this car?

-Yeah, but I just — -Well, leave it in front of your house for me, okay?

Okay.

I'll see ya tomorrow, and I'll tell ya how it went.

I don't wanna see you tomorrow.

-Mike's coming over. -Yeah. Okay.

Um, can I call you?

Okay. Yeah, call.

-I hope you sneak out okay. -Yeah.

I'm gonna wait here until she comes.

-Sandy. -I'm gonna honk four times.

I'll go one, two, three, four,

and then you'll hear it, and you'll know she's on her way up.

Okay.

I don't know if you're a detective or a pervert.

Well, that's for me to know and you to find out.

See ya.

What are you doing in my apartment, Jeffrey Beaumont?

I wanted to see you.

Are you kidding? Who sent you here?

-Nobody. -I've seen you before.

I sprayed your apartment. I took your key.

I didn't mean to do anything except see you.

What did you see tonight?

Tell me!

I saw you come in. I saw you talk on the phone.

-And then? - You got undressed.

Do you sneak in girls' apartments to see them get undressed?

No, never before this.

Get undressed. I want to see you.

Look, I'm sorry. Just let me leave.

No way! I want to see you! Get undressed!

[zipper opens]

Stand up.

Come closer.

Closer.

What do you want?

I don't know.

[Jeffrey gasps]

Don't move. Don't look at me.

[breathing shakily]

-Do you like that? - Yes.

Don't touch me, or I'll kill you!

Do you like talk like that?

No.

Get over there on that couch.

Lie down.

-[knocking] -[Dorothy gasps]

Shut up! Don't say anything. Go hide in the closet.

Don't say anything, or I'll kill you. I mean it.

Yeah, I'm all right.

I'm all right.

I'll go then.

-Oh, Don! -No.

Oh, Don, hold me. Hold me.

I'm scared. I'm scared.

I'm scared.

[Jeffrey] It's okay. It's okay.

[Dorothy] Don? Don?

Are you back?

Do you like me?

-Do you like me? -Yes.

Do you like the way I feel?

Yes.

See my breast?

You can feel it.

My nipple... is getting hard.

You can touch it.

You can feel it.

Do you like the way I feel?

[Jeffrey] Yes.

Feel me.

Hit me.

No.

Dorothy, no. Stop it.

Hit me.

Hit me.

Hit me!

I'm leaving now.

[Dorothy whispers] Torned.

Torned.

Help me.

[sighs]

Oh, my God. That hat.

She's married.

"Don."

[Dorothy whispers] Help me.

[distorted voice, low]

[Frank] Now it's dark.

Hit me. Hit me.

[Dorothy shouts, echoing]

[Jeffrey gasps softly]

[Jeffrey] Man, oh, man.

-Sandy, can you talk? -[Sandy] Uh-uh. Mike's here.

Oh, he is. I guess I'll talk to you later then.

Well, how'd it go?

It went okay. I'll tell you about it.

I'll pick you up at 8:00.

New ax, 48721.

22.95.

[register rings]

I'll see you then.

-Okay, great. -Bye-bye.

Bye.

[engine off]

Well? [chuckles]

Aren't you gonna tell me about it?

Okay.

It's a strange world, Sandy.

Dorothy Vallens is married to a man named Don.

They have a son.

I think the son and the husband have been kidnapped by a man named Frank.

Frank has done this to force Dorothy to do things for him.

I think she wants to die.

I think Frank cut the ear I found off her husband

as a warning for her to stay alive.

Frank is a...

is a very dangerous man.

My God.

-Should you tell my father? -No. I can't do that.

I can't prove any of this.

I found out my information illegally. You could get into a lot of trouble.

You saw a lot in one night.

It is a strange world.

Why are there people like Frank?

Why is there so much trouble in this world?

I don't know.

I had a dream.

In fact, it was the night I met you.

In the dream, there was our world...

and the world was dark because there weren't any robins.

And the robins represented love.

And for the longest time, there was just this darkness.

And all of a sudden,

thousands of robins were set free.

And they flew down and brought this blinding light of love.

And it seemed like that love

would be the only thing that would make any difference.

And it did.

So I guess it means...

there is trouble till the robins come.

You're a neat girl.

So are you.

I mean... you're a neat guy.

Uh, I guess we better go.

Yeah. I guess so.

[engine starts]

Hi. May I come in?

Yes.

Hurry, though.

Are you all right?

No, I'm not.

Why are you here?

-What do you want? -I, uh-

I looked for you in my closet tonight.

It's crazy, I know.

I don't know where you come from, but...

I like you.

It's not crazy. I like you too.

I liked being with you last night.

Same here.

Please be with me. Be with me, please.

See that clock on the wall?

Yeah.

Five minutes from now, you're not gonna believe what I've told you.

Number one:

Today I staked out Frank's place with a camera.

Now, there's another man involved in all this.

I call him the Yellow Man.

You saw his back the other day at Dorothy's apartment.

Today I saw the Yellow Man go into Frank's building, laughing with Frank.

Now, the only trouble is, what does that prove?

Nothing, really, but it's interesting.

Number two:

I saw the Yellow Man come out and meet up with a well-dressed man

carrying an alligator briefcase.

[shutter clicks]

They went to this factory building downtown,

stood on a staircase and looked off in the distance.

Now get this. In the distance, there was a murder.

This drug dealer was shot to death and a woman had her legs broken.

-[woman groaning] -[Sandy] Jeffrey.

[camera shutter clicking]

Then these two guys told me that the police would find a huge amount of drugs

in the dead dealer's place.

I can't believe what you're finding out.

Are you gonna continue with this?

Yeah.

Until when? I mean, what are you gonna do with this stuff?

Well, I don't know.

You're not going back to her apartment?

Yeah.

Jeffrey, why?

I'm seeing something that was always hidden.

I'm involved in a mystery. I'm in the middle of a mystery.

And it's all secret.

You like mysteries that much?

Yeah.

You're a mystery.

I like you... very much.

Oh, yeah?

Jeffrey. Don't, please.

You worry about me, really?

Yeah.

Is that so surprising?

Yeah, I worry... a lot.

I got you into this.

I want you to hurt me.

No. I don't want to hurt you. I told you, I want to help you.

Dorothy, I know some of what's happening.

Dorothy, you gotta do something - go to the police or...

[Frank laughing]

That feel better?

Hey.

Frank, I have something for you.

Would you excuse us all for a moment, please?

Excuse us, por favor.

Raymond, do a little babysitting.

I'm Paul.

[Frank murmurs]

Gordon went right up to 'em in broad daylight, of course, 'cause he's the man, right?

And he took all those drugs away, and it was fuckin' beautiful.

Jeffrey, what do you mean, you're lucky to be able to call me?

Things got a little out of hand.

I know some things. They could help your father, but you might get into trouble.

Look, forget me. You've got to tell him.

Okay.

I promise I won't mention you.

Jeffrey, I mean it. It doesn't matter.

Good. I'll see you Friday, if not before.

-Okay. -Good.

-Bye-bye, Sandy. -Bye.

-I don't want to talk about it. -But —

Everything is okay now.

I just don't want to talk about it.

But sometimes it's good to talk things over, Jeffrey.

For instance, they say that many marriages —

Aunt Barbara...

I love you, but you're gonna get it.

[police radio chatter]

[Jeffrey whispers] Gordon.

Gordon went right up to 'em in broad daylight, of course, 'cause he's the man, right?

And he took all those drugs away, and it was beautiful.

[doorbell rings]

I got it.

-Jeffrey. Come on in. -Jeffrey?

Hi, Sandy.

Hi, Jeffrey.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to talk to you.

Okay. Looks like you had a bad face-lift.

-Yeah. -Come on into my study.

I have to show you some photos and tell you some things about them.

This is the first picture.

It's Frank Booth.

He is a very sick and dangerous man.

His address is on the back of the photo.

This photo is of Frank and another man as they went into Frank's building.

And then that man came out and met with a third man.

This well-dressed guy. Here's that photo.

I think a woman named Dorothy Vallens is in trouble with these people.

I think Frank kidnapped her husband and son.

I have no hard proof of any of this.

[scraping]

-Is Sandy part of this? -Oh, no. No.

Who else knows you have these photos?

Just you and the photo lab.

-And you're through with this business now? -Yes, sir, I am.

For now, all right, you better be.

And Sandy better not be involved with this, I can tell you.

Be prepared to come in for further interrogation on this later.

Yes, sir.

[door opens]

Is everything okay?

Yeah. [louder] Is Friday still on?

-You didn't tell him about me? -No.

Why did I ever get you going on this, Jeffrey?

-Of course Friday's still on. -Great. See you then.

Good night, Detective Williams.

-Night, Sandy. -Good night, Jeffrey.

Dad?

What's wrong?

There'd better be nothing wrong.

[monitor beeping]

-Looks like it's straight. -[doorbell rings]

-Okay. I'll get it. -Okay, thanks.

-Good evening, Jeffrey. Come on in. -Thanks, Mrs. Williams.

-She's all ready. -Okay.

You look great.

Thanks.

-Hello, Detective Williams. -Hello, Jeffrey.

-You all set? -Almost.

Hey, John, get a move on.

Just a minute, Tom.

Easy does it, Jeffrey.

Behave yourself.

Don't blow it.

Come on, John. Get it in gear, pal.

So long, Jeffrey.

-You two have a nice time tonight, okay? -Okay.

What's going on?

Just a little fatherly advice.

That's right, Jeffrey.

Come on.

-Bye, Dad. -Bye.

Good night, Mom.

Bye. Have a good time.

-Night, Sandy. -Good night, Tom.

Jeffrey, what was that all about?

It's nothing.

Really.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

[speakers: country rock playing]

Hi.

Just a minute.

[chattering]

-Lookin' good! -Thank you.

-It's all taken care of. -Okay.

I can't outrun this guy.

-My father's got a gun at home. -Jeffrey, no.

Sandy, this guy's a killer, I promise you.

It's Mike! Jeffrey, it's Mike. Oh, my God.

Oh.

[boy] Whoo! Get him, Mike!

[engines off]

Get outta the car! Come on! Get outta there!

You stole my girl, you bastard. Now I'm gonna kick your ass. Come on!

Right here, right in front of your own stupid house.

-Get outta here! -Mike, stop it.

Shut up! Just shut up, all right?

Nobody's talkin' to you, all right?

-Come on. -Mike, look, I don't wanna cause any problems.

Who's that, huh? Is that your mother? That your mother?

-Dorothy. -That your mother, Jeffrey?

-No, come here, you Ivy League shit. -I gotta take care of someone who's hurt,

in case you didn't notice.

Dorothy Vallens?

Come on.

[Mike] I'm really... Hey, I — I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

-I di — I didn't know. I'm really sorry. -It's okay. It's okay.

I thought you were gonna kill him, man.

We've gotta get her out of here.

Take her to my house. My father can get an ambulance faster than anyone.

His partner won't be there, will he?

-No, probably not. Why? -Nothing.

-[tires squealing] -Watch out for Mike.

-[tires screeching] -Oh, God.

Is that you, Jeffrey?

Yeah. It's me.

Oh, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey.

Dad? Mom?

-[Mrs. Williams] I'm in here, honey. -Mom?

All right, I'll be right there.

Is Dad home?

No. He oughta —

You better call him. And, uh, get an ambulance.

[Dorothy] Where have you been?

Oh, God.

Oh, God, they've hurt him.

Oh, Jeffrey! Jeffrey, Jeffrey, hold me!

-Hold me! Hold me! -It's okay, it's okay.

-Oh, God. -It's okay. Shh. It's okay.

[whispers] My secret lover.

I've called for an ambulance, and the police are on their way.

[shouts] Don't get the police!

Stop it!

I love you! Love me!

He put his disease in me.

Tell me it's all right I opened myself to you.

-Tell me it's all right. It's all right. -Sandy, please.

Sandy?

I'll get a coat to put on her.

Jeffrey?

-What's going on here? -I'll tell you.

They... They've hurt his head.

Who, Dorothy?

Don.

Help him.

Help him.

Promise me you'll help him!

[siren wailing]

[Jeffrey whispers] Okay.

-He put his disease in me. -[Sandy sobs]

[siren growing louder]

[siren stops]

Would you like to come with us in the ambulance or take your own car?

I'll be right with you.

I should go.

-Go. -Sandy.

Hold me! I'm falling!

-I'm falling! Hold me! -[siren wailing]

You lied to me.

[Jeffrey] Sandy, please, forgive me.

I forgive you, Jeffrey.

I love you.

God, I love you.

But I couldn't watch that.

-Is she okay? - Yeah, she's okay.

Listen, get a hold of your father.

Tell him to send the police over to Dorothy's apartment right away.

Tell him to hurry. I'm leaving right now.

-Jeffrey, no. - have to.

-I love you. -Oh, God, be careful.

I will. Believe me.
