All language subtitles for The Manster - 1959.eng

Did he come back?

He's down in the lab now.

I locked the door.

You'd better take this with you.

I thought he'd come back.

He's like an animal now.

He comes back to where
he was fed the last time,

but he never should have
gotten out in the first place.

He visited a house in
our village last night.

It's not easy to
keep a thing like that

from attracting
too much attention.

I'm afraid there's only
one thing to do Genji now.

Genji.

Genji!

Genji!

Be quiet, Emiko.

I can kindly let
you out of there.

I was careless with Genji
and look what happened.

You don't understand
me anymore, do you?

I'm sorry, Emiko.

Genji, get back!

You've changed even
more, haven't you?

Back Genji.

Back.

I don't suppose you
understand me now

any more than she does.

You were my brother.

You're an experiment
that didn't work out.

I'm sorry, Genji.

Yes?

Seems silly to ask you this
at Dr. Robert Suzuki's place,

it's the only place around here.

I'm afraid you can't
see the doctor now.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

I've come all the way from Tokyo

and halfway up the mountainside

in a taxi they
saved from the ark,

and then by making
like a mountain goat

for the last few hundred yards.

Now, where's the good doctor?

Are you the man
from World Press?

That's right.

Larry Stanford, the
brilliant and highly underpaid

foreign correspondent.

Tell you the truth, from
what my boss says,

I don't think there's
much of a story here,

but if there is I wanna get it.

Perhaps the doctor can
give you a few minutes.

I'll tell him you're here.

Please come in.

Thank you.

Mr. Stanford, I'm
sorry I kept you waiting.

I've forgotten about
your appointment.

As a matter of fact
your chief, Mr. Matthews,

more or less pushed
me into it over the phone.

I'm not sure my work
is ready for publicity yet.

Well, from what the boss said,

I gather you're working
on the secrets of evolution

or something like that.

Sounds great, but
will it sell newspapers?

Well, I'm a
theoretical scientist.

Most of my work
goes down on paper.

Have you anything ready
for publication yet, doc?

Not yet.

I can only tell you this.

Look into the sky at night,

and you will see a star maybe
one billion light years away.

The light that you see
started from that star,

even before this world existed.

That's my work.

The principles of existence.

But sometimes it frightens me.

Good, then maybe we got a story.

One more good one
before I leave Japan.

Oh, are you leaving?

Yeah, after this assignment.

This globe trotting
is gettin' me down.

Besides, I have
a wife in New York

that I haven't seen for
a long time, far too long.

How old are you, Mr. Stanford?

35.

Forgive me.

I ask personal
questions sometimes.

It's the scientist in me.

I'm interested in the
way people develop.

The glandular type and so on.

May I ask a few more questions?

Well, I'm supposed
to be the interviewer,

but if you wanna, go ahead.

You look like a strong man.

Have you ever had
any major illnesses?

Well, this sounds like
the army all over again.

Nothing worse than chicken pox.

And in this time you've been
separated from your wife,

have you been, dare to say,

have you had any other
kind of companionship?

Well, I've been a good boy,
if that's what you mean, doc,

but now maybe we are
getting just a little personal.

I'm sorry.

You want to hear about
my work, don't you?

All right.

Could use a little
refreshment while we're talking.

As long as it's daytime size.

Scotch?

A local version of it.

I thought it tasted different.

Well, doc, what's the story?

Well, Mr. Stanford, are you
familiar with later thinking

about cosmic rays and evolution?

Vaguely.

The rays come out of space,

and every thousand years
or so they cause a mutation,

cause some animal to give birth

to a slightly different
species, that right?

That'll do.

Now you can
understand what I mean

when I tell you
that I've a theory

as to the cause of this
changing species, this mutation.

I believe it can be done.

Not with radiation,
Mr. Stanford, but chemically.

I've tried a few experiments
with plants and fungus.

You got any samples?

Unfortunately,
nothing I can show.

Only theoretical records.

But I don't think they
make sense to you.

Well, it sounds great
in scientific circles, doc,

but it's not exactly what
I'd call front page stuff.

You know, it's kind
of stuffy in here.

It's the heat from the mountain.

I use it sometimes
for experiments.

Will you excuse
me, Mr. Stanford?

I'll go down to the lab

and bring you up some photos
of my fungus experiments.

They might prove
interesting to you.

I'd appreciate that.

Robert, are you sure
what you're doing

is absolutely right?

Right?

Don't you see him?

He's perfect for it.

Besides, I've
changed the enzyme.

It's got to work this time.

A physical and a
psychological change.

We'll keep records on
every move he makes.

That's not what I mean.

Do you have the
right to do this to him?

After all, the others were
different, they volunteered.

But Tara, he's
exactly the type I need.

This is for science,
for human knowledge.

What happens to one man
doesn't make any difference.

You didn't seem to
care for the others, Tara.

I forgot how to care about
anybody a long time ago.

You ought to know that.

Good.

Keep it that way.

Oh, hello doc.

I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to be rude,

but I just couldn't
keep my eyes open.

Oh, I feel that way myself,

many times up here.

Seem to have collected
myself a kink in the neck too.

These are the pictures

I thought you might
be interested in.

Well, I'll take those
back to Tokyo with me

if you don't mind, doc.

Oh, by all means.

How about one for the road?

That's not a bad idea.

Might wake me up.

I'll be coming down
to Tokyo very shortly.

We must get together there.

I could use a little
vacation from my work.

Sure, that'll be fine.

Here's the morning
report for you.

Thanks.

I'm forced to agree
with you, Larry.

Not much to this
Dr. Suzuki report.

I understand he's
independently wealthy,

one of these wealthy crackpots.

Oh, he's not such a bad guy.

He serves lousy whiskey though,

gave me a hangover
on two of them.

As a matter of fact, he
phoned up this morning,

said he was coming to Tokyo.

Wants to take me out on
some fancy dinner or something.

Geisha party?

Who knows?

Anyway, I'm just filling in time

'til I head for New
York and Linda.

This globe trotting
almost broke us up.

By the way, Larry, you're
gonna be here a few days.

I've got a report here on
some smuggling going on

down in Hong Kong.

I wonder if you could hop
a plane and go down there.

Uh-uh, no dice, Ian.

You pull this one more
story routine on me

once too often.

This time I'm going home.

I'll tell you what you
can do with that report.

What's that?

Make a paper airplane out of it,

and sail it out the window.

Matthews.

Oh yes, just a moment.

Larry, it's for you.

New York.

Can't imagine who it might be.

Okay, I'll take it over here,

and how about some privacy.

Put that call through here.

Oh darling, it's wonderful
to hear your voice.

What?

Oh, everything's all right.

I just wanted to hear you.

When are you coming home, Larry?

In just a few
more days, darling.

There's lots of
paper work and stuff,

you know how it is.

After that, no more traveling.

We can make a real
start all over again.

Huh?

I love you too, darling,

but how do you know you love me,

I might not be the same person.

I'm sure you're
the same, darling.

I haven't changed either.

I've been thinking
about you all the time.

I've had a picture
of you in my mind.

It's a nice picture,

but it's not the same
as the real thing.

It won't be long now, darling.

I'll be thinking of
you all the time.

We're going to some
kind of party tonight,

I'll pretend you're along.

Oh, well, have a
good time, Larry.

Larry, as they say in Japan...

As we say in
America, bottoms up.

You know, doc, I don't
know which I like better.

Japanese sake or
Japanese Geisha.

What's the difference?

Plenty of both here.

No, seriously doc, I
never had time before

to do this sort of thing.

You've no idea how stuffy
this political interviews

and press conferences can be.

With so little
time left, please,

let me be your host,

and let me show you things

you have never
seen before in Japan.

I've been working
rather hard myself lately.

Larry, I like you,

and I'd like to show
you more of Japan.

Doc, you got yourself a deal.

Kanpai.

Bottoms up.

Hey doc, tell her it's
an old American custom

called smooch, huh.

And tell her she smooches good.

Oh, I don't know...

No, I haven't finished yet.

Tell her she smooches good,

and tell her I'd like to give her
some advance lessons, huh.

I don't have to tell
her anything, Larry.

I think she understands
you very well.

Maybe, but let's find out.

Hey, listen girls,

I think you're
all very beautiful.

Very beautiful.

But I got a special date.

All right, Ian, I'm a week
overdue on New York,

and I've been like
this for three days.

Let's have the ceremony
and get it over with.

You know me better
than that, Larry.

Your wife called again.

So she called, so what?

Look, it's really
none of my business,

but you were supposed
to be home by now.

Listen to me, Ian,

I've been workin' very
hard for a good many years,

and now I'm supposed to go back

and chain myself to a
desk in a New York office.

Okay, if that's the way
it's gotta be, it's gotta be,

but before I go I'm gonna
do some of the things

I never had a
chance to do before.

This guy, Suzuki, just
came into my life in time.

Oh, that reminds me.

I've got a train to catch.

He's taking me to
a Hot Springs hotel.

And Linda?

You already said it, Ian.

It's none of your business.

How about a little
sake before our bath?

Suits me.

The bath's ready now.

Larry, you're
about to experience

one of my country's
greatest pleasures.

Hot mineral water
from deep in the earth.

It has wonderful effects,

and sometimes strange effects.

Well, I've had hot baths before,

but never in such
fancy surroundings.

You know, dog, it's amazing
what I never got to see and do

in this country all the
time I've been here.

I didn't realize what
fun I was missing.

Still, I'll have to
leave sometime.

Yes, I know.

Oh, I have another
surprise for you.

Oh, what's that?

Do you remember
my assistant, Tara?

You met her at the lab.

She happens to
be here at the hotel.

I think you'll find her
especially interesting.

Why especially?

Her talent.

She's first of all, an
exceptionally beautiful woman.

She's been to nearly
any country you can name.

She's intelligent, affectionate,

and, well, how should I say it?

Not unwilling to
have a little adventure

now and then.

Sounds too good to be true.

Tell me, when do I meet this
lovely mythical creature again?

Why not now?

I'm sure you two
remember each other.

Well, hello again.

I guess we must
have your bath here.

You go ahead, we'll wait.

Why wait?

I can see you're not familiar

with Japanese
customs, Mr. Stanford.

You mean everybody
together, same bath?

Well...

Larry, just actually
remembered something.

I promised to make
a phone call to Tokyo.

Very important.

I wonder if you
two will excuse me.

With pleasure.

Well.

Follow me.

Well, now I've seen
everything, or I'm about to.

There are two
baths, Mr. Stanford.

One for you and one for me.

I see.

And what's this,
the wall of Jericho?

We operate on the
honor system here.

You been this is a
Japanese equivalent

of a bundling bar?

Well, it keeps us apart,

but not too far apart.

The doctor tells me
these are mineral baths

and good for me.

I hope he's right.

How do you like
it, Mr. Stanford?

My name is Larry.

I think it's great,
having a wonderful time,

wish you were here.

Well, I'm not very far.

Tell me more about yourself.

Well, there's not
very much to tell.

I worked pretty
hard all my life,

and now I'm just
starting to enjoy myself.

How about you,
where are you from?

You speak English beautifully.

I speak many languages.

Is the water hot enough for you?

Yeah, plenty hot.

The real Japanese
bath should be as hot

as you can take it.

That way you get benefit
of the minerals in the water.

I seem to be getting some
sort of benefit right now.

Is anything the matter, Larry?

Yeah, I've had
enough, I'm gettin' out.

It's a great little song
in a great little country.

Hey, I've gotta show
you where I live.

Can you mix a martooni?

What is that?

That's a miserable martini.

Hello Larry.

Well, this is quite a surprise.

I think I'd better go.

I think you'd better stay.

We've all got some
things to talk about.

Anybody mind if I
fix myself a drink?

You know, Ian,
there's a name for a guy

who'd pull a trick like this.

Ian had nothing to do with it.

I dragged him here.

I flew in today, Larry.

I couldn't stand it any longer.

Ian wouldn't tell me a thing.

It wasn't hard to guess
that you'd found company.

Sorry Larry.

Yeah, sure.

All right, let's not
draw this one out.

Let's make it front page,
top banner line now.

So you found out, so what?

Darling, I came here
so I could see you.

So you could see me.

I don't want things to
go on this way, Larry.

You've gotta make
a choice right now.

The girlfriend or me.

Tara, I don't think
we're wanted here.

Let's go some place
and finish the evening.

Goodnight, Mrs. Stanford.

Larry, I'll wait here 'til
midnight, then I'm leaving.

The choice is yours.

I made my choice.

Oh Ian, Ian, what am I gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

Fight, that's all you can do.

I want to fight, Ian.

But he's changed,
he's so different.

There's still hope.

Look, I'll wait
here 'til midnight,

I could talk to him alone.

If he's not back
I'll go to the hotel.

And then?

And then I've lost the battle.

And what else can I do.

You want me to
stay here for a while?

No.

No, please go.

I've gotta work
this out for myself.

Good luck, Linda.

Thanks Ian.

Hey, how about that?

You know, Tara, I figured
you'd live in a place like this.

It fits you, it's beautiful.

Larry, why did you
come with me tonight?

Why did you make that choice?

I'll tell you the truth, Tara.

It's you I want.

I feel comfortable with you.

But something strange has
been happening to me, lately.

I can't explain it.

You're the only one that
seems to understand.

Don't ever leave me.

No, Larry, not this way.

What do you mean, not this way?

When I belong to a
man, no one else does.

If it can't be that way,
then I don't want him.

You're thinkin' about Linda?

Yes.

She's not gonna give
up so easily, Larry.

I know how a woman thinks.

If I'm not mistaken,
she's waiting for you

at your apartment right now.

She said she'd leave
if I didn't come back.

That won't settle it.

You must go and
tell her it's finished.

It would be best that way.

You'll wait for me here?

I'll wait for you to come back,

if you'll come back.

Go Linda, go home!

Larry, what's the matter?

What is it?

Can I help you?

Nothing's the matter,
I don't need any help.

I just want you to leave.

I know I shouldn't
have stayed here,

but I couldn't
give up that easily.

Give up what?

What we never had?

After being here all this time,

you know I've asked you to
join me overseas more than once.

Larry, what sort
of a life is that?

Living in hotels, places
not even on the map.

Picking up and moving
every time there's a new war

or a revolution.

You married me, you knew
I was foreign correspondent.

Yes, I know, but
I figured one day

you could settle down.

Settle down, that's
a good way to put it.

Settle down like mud in a pool.

Bridge on Wednesdays,
cocktail Thursdays,

PDA Fridays.

I can't give you this
kind of stuff, Linda.

Go home and find someone else.

Larry, what's happened to you?

I don't know, Linda.

I just want you to let
me alone, that's all.

Just leave me alone, go away.

I won't let you alone, Larry.

I'm fighting with something
that belongs to you and me.

I don't know how it happened,

but it won't last.

This woman, she's
got you all mixed up

so you can't think straight.

I don't know how it started.

Maybe a weak moment.

- Weak!
- Maybe you.

You think I'm weak?

Do you think I covered all
those wars and revolutions

'cause I was weak?

Or maybe it's because I never
put you in your place before,

never slapped you
down when you needed it.

Larry, what's gotten into you?

Nothing's gotten into me!

I just became my real
self for once, that's all.

Nobody's gonna tie
me down anymore,

nobody's gonna
tell me what to do.

I heard you sing in'.

I don't know why I came
in, I was just passing by.

I guess you don't know
what I'm talking about.

Maybe that's just as well,

makes it easier to talk.

I've gotta talk to someone.

I've gotta get it out of me.

You've gotta get it out of me.

I thought you
weren't coming back.

You were a long time.

I told you, after Linda
left I went out for a walk.

Where did you go?

I don't know.

Fix me another drink, will you?

It was like a dream,
a sort of nightmare.

Only I don't know
where the dream stopped

and the real thing began.

I came to a temple,
I remember that.

And then I was
walking, just walking.

Does your hand hurt?

Those prayer beads,
where did you get them?

I don't know, picked
them up some place.

I can't remember.

I have a feeling I
don't wanna remember.

I wanna forget.

That's something I can do.

Help you forget.

I like everything
about this place,

but the music.

Well, maybe I'm
getting a little senile.

You're as young as
you ever were, Ian.

And as kind.

It's sweet of you
to bring me here.

You know, I was
getting a bit lonely.

That's an understatement.

I was getting to scream.

Linda, I asked you here,

because I wanna
talk to you about Larry.

What the devil's
gotten into him lately?

I don't know.

Maybe it's what you just said.

The devil's gotten into him.

He used to be a
good reporter, Linda.

All reliable.

Now when I want him,
I can hardly find him.

And when I do, I can't
seem to break though to him.

You say hello, and
he starts an argument.

I've never seen anyone
change so quickly.

Yeah.

Yeah, he doesn't
seem the same person.

What are you gonna do?

You can't stay here
in Tokyo forever

and watch Larry
go to pieces like this.

I don't know exactly
what I'm gonna do, Ian.

But I'm sure of one thing.

I still love Larry,

and I'm not gonna run away.

Guess I'll just have to
stick around for a while,

and hope.

Well, I knew if I kept
looking, I'd find you.

All right, you found
me, now what?

We've got a pretty big
story to cover this morning.

What's the matter
with your hand?

I burned it.

When are you coming
back to work, Larry?

Seems to me I got
some vacation due.

Yes, you have,

but you're still being
carried in my books.

I think I have a right to
know what your plans are.

Plans?

Who has any plans?

Ian, do me a favor.

If you're not drinking,
leave me alone, will you?

I was about to.

I've got an office to
take care of, you know.

But I have a suggestion.

How about tonight?

You and I used to go on some
pretty good binges together.

Not tonight.

Look, Larry.

Confession's good
for the soul and all that.

Are you sure there isn't
something you'd like to tell me?

You're pressing your luck, Ian.

All right, Larry.

All right.

Whatever what's
eating you stops eating.

You've got a job waiting.

But remember this,
it can't wait forever.

Where'd you get those?

Get what?

Those.

I don't know, picked
'em up somewhere.

They're Buddhist prayer beads.

You don't say!

Oh, I just thought it
odd you had them.

They're common around here,

but I've never seen you
with anything like that before.

There must be a lot of
things you've never seen, Ian.

Yes.

But Buddhist prayer beads.

As a matter of fact,

I talked to quite a
few Buddhists recently.

I found out one very
good thing about them.

What's that?

They mind their own business.

All right, Larry.

Look at that, Tara.

There's a definite cycle.

That proves another
theory of mine.

That change doesn't
come all at once.

Larry Stanford right now is
going through the metamorphosis.

This is his old self here at
the bottom of each curve.

And this is his new self,

actually a different
species of men, at the top.

But notice how the
waves are rising.

Before long, he'll
be entirely on the top,

entirely a new being.

Robert, I don't like it.

That's your privilege.

Not everyone's
interested in mutation.

That's not what I mean.

I don't like what I'm doing.

I know you had to
keep him in Tokyo,

and at first I didn't care.

Any emotion I ever had was
killed in me a long time ago.

But, maybe I've
just a little left,

and I don't like watching
it happen to him.

Are you falling in
love with him, Tara?

I don't think I'm
able to fall in love.

You don't have any
illusions about us, do you?

You know where you found me.

And you know what happens to me

if I have to go back there.

That's the only reason I
stayed with you, Robert.

Can I make it any
clearer than that?

Look at her, Tara.

Take another look at Emiko.

You knew her, Tara,

when she way, oh,
what shall we say?

When she was an ordinary woman.

Not a bad looking woman.

Remember?

Can you hear me, Emiko?

Can you understand
what I'm saying?

You think I'm heartless,
don't you, Tara?

You like to pretend to be
a woman without a soul,

but these things really
bother you, don't they?

I think you forget that Emiko

was my first human experiment.

That she begged me to
try to enzyme out on her.

And when I wouldn't,
she took it herself.

And you forget that my
brother, Genji, volunteered,

after I gave him full warning.

I know all that.

Is that supposed to excuse you?

I don't have to make
excuses to anyone, Tara.

I'm just trying to remind
you of something.

Your very good
friend, Larry Stanford,

is going to change completely.

Nothing can stop that now.

I might be able to
separate his new self,

but I'm not gonna
take that chance.

Do you know what
that means, Tara?

It means when he changes
he'll be an alien thing,

a species that's never
walked this earth before.

Do you think they'll
let a thing like that live?

Do you think anybody will?

Think it over, Tara.

Ask yourself if you
can afford to fall in love

with a monster like...

Like Emiko, the woman
who used to be my wife.

Come in.

Hello Larry.

I'm glad we found you in.

Any reason why you wouldn't?

Put out the sputtering
fuse, will you?

Are you gonna ask us in?

All right, come in, you
know where the drinks are.

This is my friend
Dr. Jennsen, Larry.

I happen to be with him tonight,

and asked him to come along.

I hope you don't mind.

Why should I?

Hi doc.

How do you do?

Larry, I think you can guess

why I wanna talk to you.

I think you know
your behavior lately

has not been exactly
like your old self.

Now, listen to me Ian...

Don't blow your cork.

I've got a couple of
questions I mean to ask

whether they're
my business or not.

All right, go ahead and ask it.

First question.

Do you remember
when I saw you in a bar

after that old Buddhist
priest was murdered?

You had a string of Buddhist
prayer beads with you,

and you never did say why.

Now, I suppose
this is far fetched,

but I couldn't help feeling
there was a connection.

Now, tell me the truth, Larry.

Did you accidentally see the
murder or something like that?

Did it set you off, put
you in that rotten mood?

Yeah, I'll tell
you the truth, Ian.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

All right.

Second question.

Do you realize that
your behavior lately

has had every aspect
of a man flipping his lid?

What are you trying to say, Ian?

Larry, Dr. Jennsen
is a psychiatrist.

The best in Tokyo.

That's why I brought him.

I'd like you to let
him talk to you.

World Press will
pick up the bill.

So you're a witch doctor, eh?

Well, some people
do call us that.

I can see right
now that your case

would be most interesting.

Here's my card.

What about an appointment
tomorrow morning?

Say 10 o'clock?

Get out of here, both of you!

Doc, you go and rattle
your bones somewhere else.

I gotta look after
my own problems.

You shut up and get out of here!

Just let me alone, that's all.

Get out!

Just let me alone, that's all!

Just let me alone!

Leave me alone!

Hello, police.

This is Dr. Jennsen.

Akasaka.

Five.

One three two.

Please send police
here immediately.

This is urgent.

All right, fellas, go
on back to the office

and write this up.

I'll see you in
about a half an hour.

I'm afraid I've got a
personal interest in this

from the Superintendent.

I knew Dr. Jennsen very well.

Mr. Matthews, I'm
going to ask a favor.

I wish you wouldn't
print this story just yet.

Print it, now wait a minute.

Dr. Jennsen was
internationally known.

This is news.

Mr. Matthews, there's
a killer loose in Tokyo.

The worst known in 30 years,

and I've gotta stop him.

Now, so far we've reported
every murder he's committed.

This time I want to
throw him off guard.

Perhaps he'll wonder
why it wasn't reported.

Perhaps he'll come back.

When you say
don't print this story,

you're asking quite a bit.

I have a responsibility
to my readers, you know.

You also have one to
your friend, Dr. Jennsen.

Believe me, Mr. Matthews,

I'm determined to
catch this murderer.

I have to answer
to my own superiors,

and if I don't catch him,

I'll be obliged to resign.

Well, I'll hold off
for the time being,

but you can't keep a
thing like this quiet for long.

Tomorrow, they'll be
a press conference

in my office at five o'clock.

I'll try to have something
more definite for you by then.

All right, and
perhaps by that time

I'll have something for you.

Larry.

Larry, are you here?

Larry.

You must be the cleaning woman.

Gentlemen, the killings
have been at these places.

Usually, we get a pattern
from something like this,

but not this time.

He seems to strike
blindly, without reason.

That's a very impressive
map, Superintendent.

But just exactly what are you
doing about these murders?

Well, we've doubled
the police on duty,

and every officer
carries extra arms,

and we've deployed our men

so that reinforcements
are always nearby.

I'd like to know, sir,

when do you expect
to catch the killer?

I'm sorry, I don't know.

If we could find a pattern,
I might be able to estimate,

but this killer,

well, he doesn't even
seem to be human.

Anymore questions, gentlemen?

Is that all you've got for us?

That's all I have right now.

Well, thanks, Superintendent.

The next time you call us in,

I hope you've got
more of a story.

Well, Mr. Matthews, I suppose
you're not satisfied either.

Superintendent, I've
come to a decision.

Not an easy one.

But I'm thinking of
your men out there,

and all the others who may
shortly find themselves victims.

Yes.

I'm afraid I have something
very important to tell you.

Yes, it does look bad.

But still, you can never
tell about evidence.

It can be very deceiving.

Hi.

Hmm, hmm.

Well, he's killed someone else.

This time one of my policemen.

Are you sure it
was the same killer?

No doubt.

And he got away again.

I just can't believe
it was Larry.

Well, whether we're sure
of it or not, Mr. Matthews,

the time has come to
take some precautions.

Pick up Larry?

Yes, if we can find him.

Well, he's bound

to return to his
apartment sooner or later.

I suppose you can
put a stake out on him.

I'm gonna handle
this personally.

And I'd like you to come along.

Larry.

Larry.

There he goes.

What happened?

He got away.

I think I know where
he's going, to Tara's.

Follow me.

All right.

Well, it's fortunate
she wasn't here.

But I wonder where she went to.

He's gonna try and get her.

Still looking for that
pattern, Superintendent?

No, I'm afraid I'm just
trusting to luck now.

Superintendent.

Yes.

When you find him,

will you, will you remember

that something's
happened to him?

Something he can't control.

I know Larry.

Are you asking me
not to shoot to kill?

Yes, I am.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Stanford,

I can't promise
anything right now.

He's been sighted
at the shipyards.

Come on.

There he goes!

Try not to shoot.

Take him alive.

No, Linda, you better wait here.

Well, between this
and heat treatment,

there's a chance.

I'm not sure, but there's bound
to be some sort of change.

If he comes back.

He'll be here.

Genji came back, remember?

At the risk of
being over poetic,

let me put it this way.

He was conceived
in the mountain,

he'll return to the mountain.

You shouldn't have
done it, Robert.

You shouldn't have
started the whole thing.

I suppose I'm just
beginning to realize that.

Still, look what I've
given to science.

It's all in this notebook.

The whole case history,

except for one detail.

The formula for the enzyme.

I don't want this
experiment repeated.

Ever.

I don't know what
your plans are,

but don't destroy him,

not the way you destroyed Genji,

promise me that.

You did fall in love with
Larry Stanford, didn't you?

Tara, some of us aren't
meant to know love.

Not as ordinary people do.

I haven't had very good
luck myself in that respect.

But you've got
to try with Larry,

you got to try to
bring him back.

I tried with Genji, and
I kept trying with Emiko

even when I knew
it was hopeless.

I'm afraid that was a mistake.

But with this new injection
on heat, lots of heat,

it may work.

He might separate completely,

split into two human beings.

But Tara, what will they be?

I'm leaving you, Robert.

You can't leave me, Tara.

We've gone through this before.

Do you wanna go back
to where I found you?

Yes, I'll go back
to that if necessary.

Don't talk like a child.

Haven't I treated you well?

Bought you anything you wanted.

What else do you want?

The illusion of respectability?

All right, if that's what
you want, I'll marry you.

That can be arranged now.

You may need this, Robert.

Police department.

Inspector Aida, please.

Try to understand, Emiko,

and you can try harder.

Try this time.

You used to be my wife,

and before that

you were my sweetheart.

Remember?

We went to America.

We went to the
university together.

We had wonderful
plans, didn't we?

We were gonna
be great scientists.

Like Pierre and Marie Curie.

But it didn't work out
that way, did it, Emiko?

I'm sorry.

I don't know why.

Maybe I offended the gods.

Funny.

I didn't used to
believe in gods.

Forgive me.

But did you give him my message?

I see.

I see.

Come on.

Don't be afraid.

You know me.

Give me your hand.

Gimme your hand.

Let me go, let me go!

Larry!

Larry.

Well, I guess there's
nothing else we can do now.

Except wait.

I'll wait, I'll wait as
long as I have to.

It may be quite a while.

I'll have to make a formal
arrest when he's well enough.

I have no choice.

I understand, Superintendent.

It's gonna pose
quite a legal problem.

Who really did all these things?

It wasn't Larry.

It couldn't have been Larry.

Must have been
something, someone else.

But why did it have
to happen, why?

I don't know, Linda.

He was an average sort of guy.

The image of us all.

How can I say this?

There was good in
Larry and there was evil.

The evil part broke
through, took hold.

Call it an accident
or call it a warning.

A warning?

I'm a reporter, not
a mystic, Linda.

But there are things beyond us,

things perhaps we're
not meant to understand.

If what's happened
has made this all clear,

well then, perhaps it
makes sense after all.

Have faith, Linda.

Have faith in the
good that's still in Larry.

And in all men.
