This is the Inner Sanctum.

A strange, fantastic world

controlled by a mass
of living, pulsating flesh,

the mind.

It destroys, distorts,

creates monsters,

commits murder.

Yes.

Even you, without knowing,

can commit murder.

Yes?
I want to see Mr. Brandon.

Sorry, Mr. Brandon's in bed.
It's very late.

I know. I've got
to see him.

Now, just a minute.
I don't know who you are.

Tell him
that Jeffrey Carter is here.

Just a minute, Frederick.

I told him you were in bed, sir.
It's all right, Frederick.

It's rather late.
I know.

But I've got
to talk to you. I've got to.

I don't think
I know you, do I?

You did. We went
to school together.

I'm Jeffrey Carter.
Jeffrey Carter?

Oh, yes, yes, I remember.
How are you?

You used to help me
when we were in school.

Now you've got
to listen to me.

Are you in trouble?

I know I have no right
coming to you like this.

You're an important
attorney now, and I'm...

Well, I'm just nothing.

I remember you were studying chemistry
in college. You had a brilliant mind.

That's what you said.
\x22A brilliant mind.\x22

Well, you'll see
how brilliant when I tell you.

You've got to listen to me.

We'll go into my study.

Strange things can happen to the
brilliant mind, can't they, Brandon?

Yes, you ought to know.

You see it every day
all around you.

In the courts,
in the prisons, everywhere.

The strange things
that go on in the mind.

Particularly
a brilliant mind.

Make yourself at home, Jeff.

You'd better call the police.
I'm afraid he's unbalanced.

Yes.

Sit down, Jeff.

I suppose you think
I'm acting strange.

You're obviously
in trouble.

First, let me tell you,
if you've come to me for legal aid,

I'm going to have
to disappoint you.

I'm up to my neck in work now.

If you'll only listen to me.

You've never heard anything
like I have to tell you.

If you'll just listen
until I'm through.

Will you promise to do that?

Very well. But let me
remind you again,

I'm too busy to take on any...
I know.

You're one of
the biggest attorneys in town.

You only handle
important cases.

But I...

Let me show you.

Look, Brandon. Look.

You promised
to hear me through.

You promised.

AII right, Carter.
I'll listen.

I can remember
every detail of it.

You see, I have
a brilliant mind.

You told me
so yourself, Brandon.

My whole life was
wrapped up in chemistry.

Not for glory, no.

I wanted to work
for mankind.

That's the kind
of a fool I was.

But that was my philosophy.

I wanted to help
suffering humanity.

That's all I wanted.
Not money, not glory.

Just to help.

I understand. Go on.

It all started
several years ago.

I was on my way home from the
laboratory from a day's work.

It was Christmas Eve,

and the only problem
on my mind was

how to balance a Christmas tree on
one arm, some packages on the other,

while digging into my
coat pocket for a dime.

Merry Christmas.
Same to you.

I liked my neighbors
and they seemed to like me.

Even the kids.

My packages were just
dime store knickknacks,

nothing like the things
I wanted to give.

But it was all I could afford.

Merry Christmas, Carter.
Same to you.

I didn't make much money.

Didn't live in a high-class
neighborhood.

Merry Christmas, Jeff.
Same to you, Jack.

Jeff, you startled me.
How are you, darling?

I think I should tie a bell around your
neck so that I know when you're home.

Say, smells good.

We're splurging for Christmas.
Lamb chops.

What, no turkey?
Not at these prices.

Well, I don't care.

Everybody else has turkey on Christmas.
We have lamb chops.

So, you see, that makes us different.
Yes, I do see, darling.

But every now and then, I'd like to
be just plebeian and eat turkey.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Sometimes I think you married
the wrong guy.

You know I never
will be a businessman.

That's no secret, darling.

That's how your boss, Mr. Graham,
gets rich on your ideas.

Yes, and you have
to pay the price, Mary.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

I just forget what kind
of a person you are.

AII the money and the glory
that he gets through you

doesn't mean a thing
to you, does it?

Well, the only
important thing is...

I know. Helping mankind.

Dinner's just about ready.

Say, is Tommy asleep?

Yes, Jeff, and please
don't wake him up.

I had an awful time getting him settled.
Maybe just a peek.

Jeff, he can't
eat that stuff.

No, but he can look
at it, can't he?

After all, a kid's got to have a stocking
when he wakes up Christmas morning.

And he ought to have
a fireplace to hang it on.

How's he gonna think
Santa Claus gets in?

Well, that's easy.
Through the window.

You're not supposed to cry
when Santa Claus comes.

AII right, Santa Claus,
talk yourself out of this one.

You get him settled now.
And hurry up, dinner's ready.

AII right.

Here.

That's it. Now,
don't tell your mother.

Now, how in the world
did you get him quiet so fast?

Just told him to shut up,
and he did.

Hurry up and get washed.

Everything's on.
Okay.

Jeff, come here and see
what Santa Claus has done.

Say, that looks swell.

Complete with
old Nick himself.

Jeff, I wish we could
have some...

Why, Jeff!

Where are you going,
Jeffrey Carter?

You don't mean to tell me you're
going back to work tonight.

Well, it isn't exactly work.
It's only for an hour or so.

I started to write something today
and promised to finish it tonight.

I don't care
what you promised, darling.

Your Mr. Graham can exploit your
talents every day of the year.

He can take your discoveries
and get rich on them

while we eat stew
seven times a week.

But tonight is different, darling.
It's Christmas, you know.

Oh, no, you don't,
not if I can...

So this is
what's so important.

\x22I find it difficult to
express my heartfelt appreciation

\x22for the great honor
you have done me.

\x22I feel that I am merely
a servant of the people,

\x22that it is my privilege
and humble duty...\x22

\x22...to help suffering mankind.

\x22I am merely an instrument

\x22chosen to extend this new
discovery to a waiting world.

\x22Alleviation
of human suffering

\x22has been the motivating force
behind this work.

\x22If what I have accomplished
is worthy of distinction

\x22in the circle
of this learned society,

\x22then I am indeed humble

\x22in accepting the recognition
accorded my efforts.\x22

\x22I am indeed humble.\x22

What a nice boss we have.

A kind, generous soul.

He's not only kind enough to steal
your ideas, and take the glory,

he's even willing to let you write
his acceptance speech for him.

Cut it out, will you?

And so at this time,
I would like to pay tribute

to the men and women in my
laboratories who have helped me.

I'll bet he stayed up all night
figuring out that little bone

he just threw to you.

I don't care.
I think you're crazy, Jeff.

Why, with your brains you
ought to set up your own lab.

Get some of the credit
you deserve.

After all, Graham does own the largest
medical distributing company in the city.

I think it's more important
to get the stuff out

than it is to worry about
receiving the credit for it.

Yeah, yeah, I know.
Suffering humanity, and all that stuff.

Well, I still think
you're a sucker.

It's all in the way
you look at it.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

I suppose when you've made some big
discovery like the cure for cancer,

Graham will be big enough
to let us come and see him

receive the award
for that, too.

Jeff, the boss wants you.
AII right.

Here we go again.
The big rush act.

But for once,
stand your ground, will you?

You know he can't do
without you.

Stevens, I thought
you told me

Carter was going to have his
formula finished two weeks ago.

I thought he would, but you know
Jeff Carter as well as I do.

He's a little on the careful side.
You can't rush him.

Yeah. Well,
let me handle him.

You sent for me, Mr. Graham?
Hello, Jeff.

Cigarette?
No, thanks.

How's the experiment
coming?

I think I'm on
the right track now.

Of course, it needs development, but I
believe it has definite possibilities.

I'm sure it has, judging from
what you told me some time ago.

I sure hope it works.

Always cautious,
aren't you, Jeff?

Well, knowing you as I do,
I don't need any further proof.

Now, here's what we're going to do.
You turn your notes in to Stevens,

and we'll get this thing
into production immediately.

There never was a better time than right
now to put that drug on the market.

But we can't do that.

You see, I have to be absolutely
sure that we're right.

Well, don't worry
about it, Jeff.

As soon as we get into
the process of production,

I'll give you all the time
you need to perfect it.

But listen...
Let's not discuss it, Jeff.

Turn in the notes and let's
get this thing started.

AII of the notes
are in my head.

And they're going
to stay there

until all of my experiments
have been completed.

You're forgetting something, aren't you?
What?

I'm paying you
to take orders from me.

I'm not gonna let you foist a medicine
on the public that might prove useless.

You mean you refuse,
after all I've done for you?

I think I've done a few things
for you, too, Mr. Graham.

Or do you forget the awards that
the Chemical Society has given you

for the things
that I have discovered.

I am surprised at you, Jeff.

That doesn't sound
like you at all.

Well, I guess it doesn't,

but you're not going
into production on this

until I know it'll do
what it's supposed to do.

You think I pay you to fool around
with test tubes month after month?

And when I get ready
to put something on the market

have you tell me
that you aren't sure?

But these things
can't be done in a day.

Sometimes it takes a lifetime.

I have no intention of giving you
a lifetime to develop anything.

I'm interested
in the medical market today.

That has to be clearly understood between
us as long as you're working for me.

I'm sorry, Mr. Graham,
I was working for you.

You have my resignation.

Well, that's gratitude
for you.

He'll be a hard man
to replace.

He'll be back.

I'll blacklist him in every lab in the
city. He won't get a job anywhere.

Hello, Mr. Carter.

Hello, Mrs. Todd. I knew you'd be in today,
so I have it all wrapped and ready for you.

Oh, thank you.

You know, that's the 158th box
of candy you've bought from me.

Really? Yes, two a week,
ever since I've been here.

And it hasn't hurt
your figure a bit.

Oh, Mr. Carter,
you say the cutest things.

How much is this?
Still a dollar.

Well, Jeff, I'll let you go home early.
It's New Year's Eve.

Are you sure you won't need me tonight?
Don't worry about me.

The only thing
they'll be buying

is headache powders and
aspirins for tomorrow morning.

Have a good time,
you and the missus.

You worked pretty hard
this year.

Mr. Moore, my wife and I
were wondering if my work...

Listen, don't worry.
As long as I'm here, you'll have a job.

You are the best pharmacist
I ever had.

You're almost better
than I am.

Now, I appreciate your work,
really, that is...

Here, this is for you
and the missus.

And these here
are for little Tommy.

Oh, thank you.
Have a good time, my boy.

They'll enjoy these.

Hi!
Daddy!

Hiya, sprout, how you doing?

Fine. That's good.
Where's your mommy?

In the kitchen.

And where else
would I be at dinnertime?

Hey! I want to get in on this.

Wait a minute.
You're with her all day.

Okay.

Got a present from the boss
for New Year's Eve.

Wonderful.

Jeff, how about the raise?

It was nice of the boss
to give us that, wasn't it?

Jeff, didn't you ask him
about the raise?

No, I forgot.

Oh, well. Go wash your hands.
Dinner's just about ready.

Yeah.

Daddy, what's a raise?

That's something your father
apparently isn't interested in.

And stop eating that candy
before dinner.

Well, what is a raise?
You'll have to ask your father.

Don't you know, Daddy?

It's more money.
You got more money?

I wouldn't know what to do
with it if I had it.

Mommy says she would.

Women are funny that way.

Come on, Jeff,
I'm all ready.

Okay, I'll be right there.

You didn't tell him
what I did.

No, but I think he'll
find out soon enough.

Who broke this test tube?

I said, who broke
my test tube?

As though I didn't know.

Okay, young feller, that's going
to come out of your allowance.

At a nickel a week,
you're losing money awfully fast, Tommy.

Yeah, I gotta figure out
how I can get a raise.

I'm afraid your father
won't be much help there.

I always feel as if I have accomplished
an impossible task when I get him in bed.

You can say that again.

Well, that's that.
Now we can celebrate.

Good.

Happy?
Very.

Sounds like we have company.

Hello, Mary. Hiya, Jeff.

Say, in case you don't know it,
this is New Year's Eve.

So we're inviting you
downstairs for a party.

They're much too sober.
Who's sober?

It's against the law for anybody
to be sober on New Year's Eve.

Well, come on, we've even got
the landlady higher than a kite.

Oh, no!

Oh, boy, is she flying!

That I want to see.
Well, come on!

Somebody has got to
stay here with Tommy.

Why, can't he take care of himself?
I'm not so sure of it.

But, dear, if you'd like to go...
Come on.

Are you sure
you don't mind?

Why, of course not. Go have some fun.
I'll be down a little later.

Well, promise.
Sure, I will.

Excuse me. It was awfully stupid of me.
Not on New Year's Eve.

That's one night you're permitted
to fall all over the place.

I'm terribly sorry.

Well, you should be.

Young man, if you can't hold your
liquor, then just stop drinking.

That's right. Tell me,
do you know where Jeff Carter lives?

You mean Carter the chemist?
Yes.

He makes gin in the bathtub.

AII the way up and the first
door to the left. Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.
Oh, happy New Year, too.

Come in.

Hello, Jeff.

Who's there?

Graham.

Glad to see you, Jeff.
It's been a long time.

Yes, it has.

What are you doing here?
Oh, New Year's.

You know, new resolutions that
should be made before the year ends.

This where you work now?
Yes, at nights.

I have a job
in a drugstore now.

That's no place for you
to be working.

You saw to it that I
wouldn't work anywhere else.

I know, and I'm sorry.

But I'm glad to see you're
keeping up with your experiments.

Well, yes, I work at it
whenever I have the time.

Sit down.
Thank you.

Glass of wine?
No, thanks.

How are things with you?

Frankly, not too good.

There's no sense
beating around the bush, Jeff.

I came to ask you
to come back to work for me.

You feel that I've been
punished enough?

I don't blame you
for being bitter.

As a matter of fact, I admit

that I didn't appreciate you
when you were working for me.

You know, Jeff, ever since you left,
I've hired any number of chemists.

Not one of them has produced
anything worthwhile.

Perhaps you didn't
give them enough time.

Cutting in.

Hello, beautiful.

Now, relax, sweetheart,
it's New Year's Eve.

Now, wait a minute.
Hey, come back here.

I told you that stuff
would throw you.

I wish you'd reconsider. I can make
it very much worth your while.

There's one thing you've never
quite understood, Mr. Graham.

I guess that's because you're a
manufacturer and I'm a chemist.

Money isn't important.

I make barely enough
to get along.

But my wife and I are happy, and
that's more than most people can say.

Of course,
I can understand that, Jeff.

But for the life of me,
I can't see why a man like yourself

can't do just as good work with
a few of the nice things in life

instead of, well, this.

Think what I can give you.

AII the facilities at your disposal
to carry on any experiment you wish,

with all the time you want.

And what have you got here?
A few test tubes stuck up in a bathroom.

Oh, I know that'll
sound wonderful

in the biography of a great chemist,
100 years after he's dead.

But you ought to think
of the present.

I'm offering you your old
job back at your own terms.

I'm sorry. I'd rather struggle
along as I am on my own.

Oh, dear, how was the party?
A little loud.

Dear, this is Mr. Graham.
My wife.

How do you do, Mr. Graham?

Oh, your wife.
Well, I'm delighted.

I'm sorry I never had the
pleasure of meeting you formally,

that is, while Jeff
was working for me.

I assure you, it was my loss.

Well, I've heard a great deal
about you, Mr. Graham.

I'm afraid,
not much in my favor.

I've been trying to get your
husband to erase the past,

but he's a very
stubborn person, Mrs. Carter.

Yes, I know.

Well, goodnight to both of you,
and Happy Hew Year.

Happy New Year.
Thank you.

Looks like Graham isn't getting
along so well since I left.

You should take that as a compliment.
Yeah, I suppose so.

But any time Graham gives out any
compliments, there's something behind it.

He just wants to use me again
for his own profit.

Why don't you
use him this time?

What do you mean?

Look, darling, you're trying to develop one
of the most important things of your life.

You've been telling me for the last
two years you'd give your right arm

for a decent lab to work in instead
of the corner of a bathroom.

Well, Graham's offering it
to you, and at your own terms.

Yes, but you don't know him.

No, but I think
I know you.

You're stubborn, Jeff.
Sometimes you're too stubborn.

Listen, honey, I want
to ask you something.

Haven't you been happy
since we've been married?

Of course, I have, darling.
But I don't see

why we have to spend the rest of our
lives living in a cheap boarding house

when you have a chance of doing
something so much better.

You want me to go
to work for him again?

Yes, I do.
Why?

Just so that we can
have more money?

Well, if you want
to put it that way.

After all, it's time you thought
a little bit about Tommy and me.

He deserves some of the opportunities
the other children have.

Instead, you're standing
on your own pride.

And here I thought you were with me.
Oh, but I am, Jeff.

I just don't want you to go on spending the
rest of your life like a thwarted genius,

when a man like Graham offers you
everything you need to work with.

Oh, if it was anyone
but Graham.

Jeff, don't be such a fool.

Take advantage
of him this time.

Then if things don't work out,
you can always leave.

I never knew
you felt this way.

Well, I do. And I don't see
that it's so wrong of me

to want some of the things
that the other people have.

Well, such as a decent place to live,
and nice clothes for a change.

And not to have to worry about

whether we can afford a couple
of lamb chops. Grade B.

I know these things don't make
any difference to you, Jeff,

but they do to me.
They do to any woman.

And if you want to call me selfish
for feeling that way about things,

well, then, I guess
I am selfish.

Jeff...

Darling, I'm so sorry.

No, that's what I should say to you.
But I didn't mean...

I know what you meant.
And you were right.

You and Tommy certainly deserve
more than I've given you.

Happy New Year, darling.

And it's going
to be a new year.

Well, Oscar and these two up here
seem to be getting along all right.

Yes, it's the other one
I'm worried about.

Three alive and one dead.
Well, three out of four isn't bad.

That's not good.

Well, stick to it, Professor.
Oh, gee, I'd better get going.

I don't want to miss that date.
See you later, Jeff.

And don't work too late, now.
Remember, Graham won't pay any overtime.

Hello, Dave.
Hello, Mr. Graham.

Well, how's it coming, Jeff?
Well, I don't know.

A few days ago, I injected these
four rabbits with disease germs.

Then I gave them my drug.

Today, three are alive
and well, the other dead.

Well, sounds like you've
accomplished a great deal.

Not with the dead one.

I'm afraid if we try for perfection in
everything, we'd have to wait a long time.

Seems to me
like this is pretty good.

I don't know. I've been checking
my notes. It's not good enough.

We must have perfection.

Have you named the drug yet?
Zymurgine.

Sounds all right.
But there's only one trouble.

I haven't been able to lay my
hands on a particular mold.

This mold comes from certain
plants in South America.

South America?

Yes, I've been burning a lot of
midnight oil studying up on it.

Tonight, you're coming over to my
house with your wife for dinner.

Oh, that will be fine.
She'll like it.

You know, she hasn't been out much
lately since I've been working on this.

Well, we'll try to show her some fun.
She deserves it.

Make it about 7:00.
Fine. We'll be there.

Good.

Miss Rogers, have Stevens step into
my office right away. Yes, thank you.

See you later, Jeff.
Right.

Mary!

What's going on here?

Coming into the house
blasting the place down,

and Mrs. Carter trying
to put her child to bed.

I'm Mr. Carter.
Oh, you are, are you?

Well, I'm Mrs. O'Connor.

And I'll thank you not to be making so
much noise when you come tramping in.

AII right.

Hello, darling.
I was just putting Tommy to bed.

Say, who's that?
Why, that's Mrs. O'Connor.

She answered our ad for a housekeeper.
She's wonderful.

She doesn't like noise.

Well, I guess a person has to,
kind of, get used to things.

Say, maybe she's got something there.
You mean, we have.

Don't you sit down.
We're going out tonight.

We are? Where?

Over at the boss's.
He invited us for dinner.

You mean Mr. Graham?

Darling, things are looking up
all over, aren't they?

They sure are.

I don't know when I've enjoyed
a dinner so much.

Yes, it looked almost too good to eat.
Well, thank you.

Judging from
the looks of Jeff,

you must be an excellent cook
yourself, Mrs. Carter.

She is. Oh, it isn't that.
Jeff's so easy to please.

Well, we'll have coffee
in the drawing room.

You have a lovely home,
Mr. Graham.

Yes, it's nice.
Gets lonely at times.

Beg your pardon, sir,
there's a telephone call for you.

Oh. Just make yourselves comfortable.
I'll be back in a moment.

Do you mind pouring?
I'd love to.

Thank you. Excuse me.
Sure.

He's nice, isn't he?
Mmm-hmm.

Hello?

Yes, Stevens, they're here.
I found the formula in the notes.

I'm copying them right now.
It'll take at least a couple of hours.

That's all right.
Take all the time you need.

Be sure to copy everything carefully.
AII right.

I'm so sorry. That was a long
distance call. Thank you.

Well, Jeff, I have
good news for you.

I saved it until after dinner.
What's that?

It's all arranged for you
to go to South America.

South America?

You mean you'd really
send me down there?

Of course, if I thought you
could find what you're after.

I had no idea you were
thinking of any such thing.

Well, it just developed today.

Yes, darling, I'm on the brink of
an important medical discovery.

I practically have it
in my grasp.

I only lack
one vital element.

A certain mold that comes
only from South America.

I've arranged to have Dave,
your assistant, go with you.

You can set up your laboratory and
complete your experiments down there.

That's wonderful.

Oh, you wouldn't mind,
would you, darling?

After all,
it's in the interest of medical science.

No, I wouldn't mind.

How long do you think
you'd be gone?

That depends upon how long
it takes to find the mold.

Oh, thank you, Jason.

Thank you.
Well, now that's settled.

When would you leave?

Just as soon as I could
get my equipment together.

Well, here's to Jeff's success,
and a pleasant trip.

I'm going to
miss you, darling.

And I'm going to miss you too.
You'll write to me, won't you?

Every day.

AII ashore
that's going ashore!

Well, guess I better get off.

I did all right
on the night boat to Albany.

I hope I don't get seasick
on this trip to South America.

How's your Spanish, Dave?

I know the book by heart.
Oh.

Jeff, I got you all fixed up on A Deck,
much better cabin.

Oh, that's swell.

See, that's what comes of
knowing the right people.

Yeah, and greasing
the right palm.

Goodbye, darling.

Bye-bye, dear.

Well, goodbye, Jeff.

Goodbye.
Bye, Dave.

Bye, Mr. Graham.
Have a successful trip.

Thanks.

May I see you home?

Why, yes. Thank you.

I want you to have a look at these
samples. Those boxes are for the pills,

those bottles for the powders
and these for the liquids.

Well, I think you could make the
lettering larger. Make it stand out more.

Yes, I thought so too.

Well, how does
that strike you?

That's okay, very nice.
Get a big spread. Right.

Well, Stevens, looks like we're on
our way. Certainly looks that way.

Now, when do you think you
can get this on the market?

About three weeks.
Good.

How long will Carter
be in South America?

For quite some time yet.

\x22So, keep
your fingers crossed.

\x22We may know in a week or so,
what we have.\x22

The rest is personal.

It looks like he's really accomplishing
something down there, doesn't it?

Oh, I hope so.
It's been over a month now.

It hasn't seemed that long.

Oh, by the way,

I've something here I wanna show you.
Jeff sent it to me from South America.

Oh, it's interesting. Isn't it?
I wonder where it would look best.

Over the mantel of course.

Then that's where it'll be.

Right here, huh?

I'll have Jason
hang it later.

Isn't this beautiful?
Where did you get it?

Oh, I picked the pair of them up,
years ago in Bombay.

Bombay. That must've
been exciting.

Oh, it was more than that,
it was educational.

You know, people in the Orient go far
beyond the boundaries of physical life.

As a matter of fact, I spent quite
some time with a Hindu teacher,

who taught me how to develop the power
of the transmission of the will.

When you have that,
you can have anything you want in life.

Mental suggestion?

I don't believe it.

Oh, you don't, don't you?

Well, why do you suppose
you're here tonight?

You came because
I wanted you to.

You're wrong. I came
because I wanted to.

Hi there, Se�or Gonzalez.
Here, come here, come on.

Oh, you don't say, eh?

Next time make sure that
her husband is not around.

Hasta la vista, my friend.
Or words to that effect. How you doing?

Okay, I guess.

You know, that mold's
just what the doctor ordered.

I've mixed enough of it with
the drug to start to work.

You mean success at last?

Oh, don't write
that QED quite so fast.

You know,
we haven't tried it yet.

Tonight, we're going to inject these
eight monkeys with various diseases.

Then we'll try the drug
on four of them.

That ought to prove something.

Pipe down, sweetheart,
he wasn't talking to you.

But right now, I could do with
something to eat. How about it?

S�, se�or. My assistant,
Se�or Gonzalez and I

will prepare for you
a most delicious meal.

The food, she is coming up
soon now. Maybe later too.

AII right, chef. I'll write Mary
a letter while you're doing that

and tell her how I could
use a good meal.

I resent that.

How about that lettering?
Is that more what you had in mind?

Oh, yes, yes.
That's much better.

We'll give this the biggest exploitation
campaign any drug ever had.

Well, here's
three testimonials.

Two of influenza,
one of pneumonia.

Did these people
actually use the drug?

Oh, yes. But after they were
well on the way to recovery.

Oh, I see.

What're you doing?

Trying to get up the nerve enough to
go in there and see what happened.

You mean you haven't been in there yet?
No.

To be honest with you,
I'm about half afraid.

You want me to go in?
Oh, no.

No, I've got to face it
some time.

Come on.

AII four of them are dead.

Yes.

But look at the others,
alive and kicking.

Dave, it works.

It sure does.

How do you feel, Professor?

Oh, I don't know.
I can hardly believe it.

Well, there's your proof.

The four you gave the drug to are alive,
the other four are dead.

I don't know what more
you want.

Gee, it's marvelous, Jeff.
You did it. You did it!

Gonzalez
is congratulating you too.

You know, the wonderful part
about it is,

is that the substance we
were looking for in the mold

can be made synthetically
back home.

Yeah? Hey, say, Graham
will be glad to hear that.

He was sure getting itchy fingers to put
this drug of yours out on the market.

Yeah. Well, he can go to work on
it as soon as he gets my formula.

Wait till he sees this.

Yeah, he'll mail you a medal.

Yes, Stevens.
Take a look at that.

That's interesting.

Looks like we got Zymurgine on the
market just about the right time.

To be on the safe side,
we better double our output.

Cable for you, Mr. Graham.
Oh, thanks. Must be from Jeff.

Well, let's see what the wonder
boy's doing down in South America.

Well, he's completed
his experiments on Zymurgine.

He's sending
the formula by airmail.

It'd take us quite a while to
change our set-up, wouldn't it?

Certainly would.
Well, forget it.

With the uprise in this new flu epidemic,
we're bound to lose out on sales.

Yes.

Yes, Mr. Graham.

Miss Rogers,
bring in your book and file 6834.

I thought we discarded that formula. We've
developed a new interest temporarily.

Take a cable, Jeff Carter.

The formula
that you are sending

will be put into operation
as soon as humanly possible.

My congratulations to you
on your success.

Certain new developments
make it imperative

for you to remain in South
America for further work.

In a day or so we'll mail you an
outline of these new experiments.

Again, my heartiest
congratulations and best wishes.

Send that right off.

Jeff will be gone
for quite a while.

You think we ought to
put on a new man?

That's a good idea.
AII right.

Get me Mrs. Carter.

I had a very pleasant
evening, Mary.

I've enjoyed the dinner, the play,
but mostly your company.

Of course, the play
could've been better.

I thought it was
quite good.

A little old fashioned, don't you think?
AII that triangle stuff.

You don't believe it
could've happened?

Oh, it could've happened, of course,
but not exactly that way.

It was a bit
too far-fetched.

The reason for suspicion?

Well, after all, I thought
she was an attractive girl.

I think he had
a reason to be jealous.

It served him right.
He left her alone too long.

And when Jeff comes home,

I'm going to make it my business
to have him see that show.

If it's still running.

What do you mean?

Well, Mary, certain things
have come up

that make it necessary for him
to stay there a little longer.

But he didn't say a word
about that.

He wrote that
he'd completed his experiments

and that Zymurgine
was a proven success.

I thought from his letter
that he'd be back any day now.

Scientists are like doctors,
their work is so unpredictable.

Waiter, check, please.

It's been a lovely evening, Mr. Graham.
I can't thank you enough.

I can't tell you how much our
association has meant to me.

I was hoping maybe it meant
something to you too.

But it has.

I guess I'd better go in now.
Good night.

Good night.

Oh, Mrs. O'Connor.
I'm so glad you're home, ma'am.

I've been trying
to get you all evening.

What's the matter?
Tommy's sick.

Tommy.

I called a doctor,
he's upstairs with him now.

Tommy.

Hello, Mommy.

You're Mrs. Carter?
Yes.

I'm Dr. Williams.
How do you do, Doctor?

What is it?
Shall we go outside?

He's a pretty sick boy, Mrs. Carter.
I'm afraid it's influenza.

But he was all right when I left home.
Is it very bad, Doctor?

It's a little too early
to say yet.

His fever is quite high. It's over 103.
If it gets any higher, call me.

AII right.

Dr. Williams.

Dr. Williams,
can't we give him Zymurgine?

Zymurgine?
Yes.

Oh, yes.

I'm afraid I couldn't
honestly recommend that.

It hasn't been thoroughly
tested and proved.

But, Jeff, that's my husband,
he wrote me about it.

He worked on it.
It's a positive cure.

I can understand your enthusiasm,
Mrs. Carter, but unless we're sure...

Oh, but you don't understand.

Wait, I'll show you.

\x22After extensive tests,
I can say without hesitancy

\x22that Zymurgine is a definite
cure for influenza. \x22

So you see, it must be so.

Mrs. Carter, I would
advise against it. Good night.

Good night.

How much is that?
65 cents, please.

Thank you.

Mr. Reed, do we have any more
Zymurgine in the stock room?

Zymurgine again?
Everybody's after it.

Don't know why. From what I hear,
it hasn't proven any too effective.

You can sell almost anything
if they advertise it enough.

Cable for you, genius.

Well, thanks.

Well, it's either from Mary
or Graham. Take a guess.

I'll take Mary. On account of,
I like her better than Graham.

That makes it unanimous.

What's the matter?

It's from Mary.

Tommy's sick with influenza.

Oh, gee.

She says they tried Zymurgine
and that it doesn't do any good.

He's getting worse.

But I know it works.

We proved it!
Yeah, sure we did.

Come on, I've gotta go to town.
We've gotta send Mary a telegram.

Buenos d�as, se�or.
Buenos d�as, Jos�.

Well, how's business, Jos�?

Well, sometimes it's good
and sometimes it's bad.

Now it's good and bad.

You sure got everything
from soup to soybeans here.

Clothes, vegetables, materials,
canned goods, medicines...

Jeff, come here.

Zymurgine?

Jos�, where did you get this?

That is very fine medicine, se�or.
That is from the States.

How long have you had it?

Long time now.
Maybe one month.

But Graham hasn't had
my formula that long.

Look at the label on the back.
See what the contents are.

Why, this isn't my complete formula.
This is the old one.

I can't understand
how he got ahold of it.

But I'm beginning to understand
our little trip to South America.

Yes, and a lot
of other things too.

That man Graham is a disgrace
to our profession.

But when I get home,

there won't be a single organization
that'll do business with him.

Now, don't worry, Jeff.

Tommy's gonna be all right.
He'd better be.

And don't worry about anything here
either. I'll take care of everything.

And I'll close up the lab.

Thanks, Dave,
you've been swell.

I just can't understand how
I could've been such a fool.

You mean about Graham, huh?

Yeah.

When I think of how he must've
laughed at me behind my back...

Why, it's just like
he'd taken my head,

my mind and brain,
and used it.

Used it like something
you bought in a store.

Only, he didn't buy it.

He stole it.

Well, now I'm going
to get it back.

Now I'm going to use it,
not Graham.

And if anything
happens to Tommy...

I told you to stop worrying about Tommy.
Nothing's gonna happen to him.

To think that I've been living
in another world.

I haven't been fair to Mary
or Tommy or even to myself.

Hey...
Now I'm back to Earth.

We'd better get going.
Yeah.

No, Gonzalez, you stay here,
and clean up the joint.

Mrs. Carter.

Mrs. Carter.

This just came.

Hello, I'd like
to speak to Mr. Graham.

What?

Out of town?

Thank you.

Doctor?

Mrs. Carter, I

can't tell you how sorry I am.

No.

Oh, hello, Jason.
Good evening, Mr. Graham.

Glad to see you back, sir.
Oh, thank you. It's nice to be home.

Anything happen
while I've been away?

No, sir. Things have been rather quiet.
Oh, Mrs. Carter called.

Oh, really? Get her
on the phone at once.

Very good, sir.

Hello?

Who?

Just a moment
and I'll call her.

Mr. Graham's on the phone.

Graham?

Tell him I'm not home.

Yes, ma'am.

No, wait a minute.

I'll speak to him.

Hello?

Tonight?

Yes, I think
I'd like to see you.

No, I'd rather
come over to your place.

Yes, I'll leave right away.

You go to bed, Mrs. O'Connor.

I'll be out a little while.

Thank you, Jason.
You may have the night off.

Thank you, sir. Good night.

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

It was good of you
to come over.

I hope you're not angry
at my calling you so late.

No.
Let me take your coat.

Thank you.

Your purse?

Please sit down.

Mary, I've missed you.

I tried to reach you,
but you were out of town.

Oh, a little business trip.

Would you like
a glass of champagne?

Yes, I think I would.
Fine.

Mr. Carter.

Oh, hello, Mrs. O'Connor.
Where's Mrs. Carter?

She went out
a little while ago.

Well, how's Tommy?

I said, how's Tommy?

I thought you knew.

Knew?

Knew what?

What are you trying
to tell me?

He...

He's dead.

Where's Mary?

She's out.

I said, where is she?

She went over
to see Mr. Graham.

Graham...

Mr. Carter.

More champagne?

No, I think
I've had enough now.

Mary, there's something I've been
wanting to tell you for a long time.

Yes?

I'm sure you must've known all
along how I feel about you.

No, Mr. Graham.

I don't think I ever really
understood you until now.

I've loved you
ever since I first met you.

Is that why you sent Jeff
down to South America?

Well, I must admit,
you were the inspiration for the idea.

You had no intention
of bringing him back?

You meant to keep him
down there, didn't you?

You haven't been
too lonely without him.

Mary, you have to
listen to me.

I'm crazy about you.

I've always wanted to...

You don't think I came here tonight just
to let you make love to me, do you?

But Mary, I don't
understand you.

You're a murderer.

You killed my son.

I killed your...

No.

Jeff told you how to make up the drug
that would've saved Tommy's life,

but you didn't.
You let him die.

Mary, you don't know what you're saying,
you're hysterical.

No, I'm not!

And I'm going to kill you just
as surely as you killed my son!

Surely as you killed
hundreds of other people.

You let all of those people
die, Graham.

Jeff.

Including my son.

You've taken everything
in my life away from me.

Wait a minute, Jeff,
you've gotta let me explain!

Don't, Jeff!

Now you want my wife.

I'm going to take something
back that belongs to me.

Stay where you are.

Stay where you are.

Something I've got to have!

Jeff...

I killed him.

I had the feeling that

Graham was me.

Me, Jeff Carter.

My mind was his.

My brain was in his head.

And I knew that I must have it
back to make it mine again.

Don't you see?

That's why I killed him.

Just to get back something
that belonged to me.

That's all.

Yes.

I think I understand.

I know that nobody
can help me.

I know that now...

Jeff. Jeff, darling.

Jeff, darling.

Don't worry,
he'll be all right.

I'll do everything
I can for him.
