Alright, Fred, reload.

Hey, you better not
let that thing get too hot.

She is liable to blow up
and kill a lot of ya.

Not this Cannon.
You point her north

and she'll start fighting
Yankees all over again.

Say, this isn't the Cannon from
the town hall memorial, is it?

Yep. I'm gonna raise
that poor girl, you'll see.

You can't beat firing a Cannon
to bring up a drownded body.

- What?
- Law of nature, young feller.

Light her up.

Boy, I haven't heard that gag

since Tom Sawyer
and huckleberry Finn.

That's my body
they're looking for.

Those people...

The boats, the Cannon.

They're dragging the river
for my body...

The body of Deborah Chandler.

No...

Deborah Chandler Clark.

They're looking for the body
of Mrs. selden Clark.

Selden, please.

There's nothing you can do here.
She's dead, selden.

Don't say that, Lucius.

I've got to say it,
and you've got to face it.

I won't believe it. I can't.

Not until they find her.

Pardon me, Mr. Clark.

- I'm from the "gazette."
- Well, not now.

I thought you might like
to make a statement.

- No. No statement.
- Please.

And no pictures.

I think you're making
a big mistake, gentlemen.

After all,
a bride leaves the house

alone on her honeymoon night...

Young man,
have you ever been horsewhipped?

- Are you kidding?
- Sheriff!

Maybe you don't see
how this looks

to other people, Mr. Clark.

I mean, human nature
being what it is,

a bride goes driving
in the middle of the night.

A good caning might teach you
a decent respect for grief.

Take it easy, Mr. Maury.

Alright, son.
You better run along now.

Okay.

Anything I can do for you,
Mr. Clark?

No, thank you.

I'm sorry about that, Mr. Clark,

but I'm afraid there's gonna be
a lot more of it.

Papers calling up
from all over the south.

Some of the big
northern papers too.

I'll do what I can to keep them
from bothering you too much.

Thanks.

Uh, you won't be going back

to clarksville
right away, will you?

No.

They'll have to have
an inquiry tomorrow.

Maybe the next day.
Just a formality, you know.

But you will have to answer
a few questions.

What will you tell them, selden?

Accident? Suicide?

What would I tell them?

The truth?

The impossible truth
that even I can hardly believe.

No. No one would believe it.

Your secret is safe, selden.

No one will pry into your grief.

No one will ever dream
that your heart is burdened

not with sorrow,
but with murder.

When was it that murder
first entered your mind?

Was it that afternoon
I drove up to the plant?

Was it then?

Deb.

Deborah.

Deborah, weren't you
even gonna say hello?

- Well, you seemed very busy.
- What?

- I... I said that you seemed...
- Wait a minute.

Now what were you saying?

Oh, I just said
you seemed very busy.

Well, it's lunch hour.
I'm not busy now.

Well... hello.

Oh, come on, you can't be
in that much of a hurry.

I haven't seen you here
at the mill for six months.

You haven't seen me at all
in much longer than that.

I know. I haven't been
very attentive, but...

It's kind of hard to explain...

Yes, I know. I've tried
explaining it to myself.

- Well, dad's waiting.
- Now wait a minute, Deb.

You know how I really
feel about you.

I thought I did, once.

It's just that...
Well, it's just that

I've been busy, that's all.

Things have been kind of hectic
here at the mill.

I have been working
day and night,

spending a lot of time
out of town...

It really isn't necessary
to explain, selden.

It's, it's kind of embarrassing.

Hello, debby.
What are you doing here?

Wasn't I supposed to meet you
downtown for lunch?

Well, I... I thought I'd drop in
for a last look.

After all, I won't be seeing
the place for a long time.

You won't? Why not?

Well, I, I'm going to New York
for a while.

- To live there.
- New York?

But why didn't you...

You might have mentioned it
to me, John.

Why?

Well, I... I just think
you might have.

I don't think so.

You're general manager
of my mill, selden,

not general manager
of my family.

Yes, of course.

Goodbye, Deborah.

Bye.

If you were rude to him for my
sake, it wasn't necessary.

When I'm being rude, I'm doing
it for the good of my own soul.

There's no law
he has to be in love with me.

I might have mentioned it
to him.

- Why, the impudent young...
- Yes, dad, I know.

You've told me
how you feel about him.

Not lately, I haven't.

Selden Clark iv.

You'd think
it was a line of kings.

Well, it is a good family.
He has a right to be proud.

Proud? Of what?

Selden Clark III

who was killed in a saloon brawl
in New Orleans?

It was a duel.

Or selden ii

who cut off all the forests

and didn't put back
so much as a weed?

What a family.

You're not forgetting
the general, dad.

I'm coming to the general.

That fearless warrior, selden I.

That hero who threw himself
and 5000 troupes

on the union bayonets
at Ridge creek.

- Oh, dad, please.
- That's what he did.

Deliberately threw himself.
No rhyme or reason.

He was crazy, I tell you.

- My grandfather always said...
- And he was there.

Oh, dad,
do we have to go into it?

Sure, we do, Deb.

This boy here,
he's the general all over again.

I watch him charging around the
plant like it was a battlefield.

Well, he does keep it running
for you, doesn't he?

New hydroelectric dynamo would
keep it running even better.

But I wouldn't want one
for a son-in-law.

Well, don't worry.

You're not going to have him
for a son-in-law.

Operator, operator, are you sure

you're ringing the right number?

But it's the mill. Somebody's
got to be in the office.

Oh, Josh, did my father say
anything this morning

that he might be delayed?

No, he didn't, miss Deborah.

He was expecting to be back
long before train time.

Yes, please, keep ringing.
I'll hold on.

It's alright, miss Deborah.
It sounds like him right now.

Good. Operator, never mind.
Thank you.

Something, something
terrible has happened, Deb.

Your father...

He was on a high catwalk
with selden

inspecting a machine.

He must have gotten dizzy.
He fell.

I was only a few feet
away. I ran to him, but...

Oh, no.

No.

Oh.

- Where is he?
- At the mill.

He couldn't be moved.

It's bad, Deb. It's bad.

He hasn't regained
consciousness.

Oh.

No.

You can take the bags upstairs.

Miss Deborah
won't be going away now.

When mother died,
dad and I came home together.

He stopped here at the door.

I was nine years old.

He took my hand and said...

"Look at the trees, Deborah.

Feel the wind.

And remember people die, but...

The world doesn't.”

It feels so empty.

Deb.

Deb, these past few days,

how I've wished
we had been close to each other

like we used to be.

- That I hadn't...
- No, don't, selden.

Not because you're sorry for me.

But it's not that at all, Deb.

Y... you'll only make me
sorry for myself...

And that's one thing I won't be.

Only that's not true.

I am sorry for myself...

And in a way...

For you too.

For me?

Why should you feel
sorry for me?

Out there today,

all those tombstones,

so many chandlers
and so many Clarks.

And now...

Only the two of us.

Deb, listen to me.

This is not the end of us and
it's not the end of clarksville.

I wouldn't let it be.

I never let myself forget
the Clarks who built this town

or the Clarks who died for it.

General selden Clark
and his men at Ridge creek,

fighting with pitchforks,
with rocks,

with their bare hands,

because they just
wouldn't give up.

And we mustn't give up
either, debby.

Well, sure, the, the lumber
that made clarksville is gone.

And I can't raise forests.

And the mill is dying.

But the mill can be
brought back to life

and it can bring clarksville
back to life.

Don't you see, debby?
We can do it, you and I.

- You and I?
- Yes.

Clark house will be open again

and you'll be mistress of it.

Oh, selden, don't. I...

I'm asking you to marry me.

But not like this. Not today.

That's how it will be, debby.
It's got to be.

Your father said it.
"The world doesn't die."

Not now, selden.
Please don't ask me now.

In the spring,
you'll be Mrs. selden Clark.

And then I'll show them
what I can do.

I'm gonna make it mean
something again.

To be a Clark of clarksville.

Selden, I can't talk about it.
I can't.

Not yet.

A marriage proposed
the day of the funeral.

Why didn't I see it?

All those months
after father died.

All those months
before we were married.

Why didn't I see that,
beginning as it did,

it had to end as it ended?

Things at the mill
being what they are,

this, this isn't gonna be the
fanciest honeymoon in the world.

Don't worry, darling.

I take my honeymoons
as they come.

I couldn't get you
the biggest cabin

of the smokies
for a wedding present, but, uh,

I did get you the one
on the highest mountain.

Oh.

I love you.

There it is.

Oh.

Does it look alright?

Oh, it's just so...

Darling.

I've used up all my words.

It was a wonderful wedding
and a wonderful ride,

and everything's so... so hice.

Well, what are you
waiting for, selden?

Aren't you going to carry
the bride over the threshold?

I drove up
to be a reception committee.

You don't mind, do you?

Come on in, Mrs. Clark.
He won't carry you.

He never was very gallant.

Selden, who is that?

Nobody you have to know.

Why, I'm Patricia monahan
of Raleigh.

You know, where selden goes on
all those little business trips.

Well, Mrs. Clark, if you're not
coming in, I'll come out.

My shoes.

Isn't that a silly habit?
Taking off your shoes?

Of course, I'm very vain
about my feet.

Selden always said
I had such pretty feet.

But that's not as good
as having a mill, is it, selden?

Why, you little...

- Oh, selden, listen to me.
- Selden, stop it.

- I ought to kill you.
- Selden, stop it!

Now get out.

It's been over a long time, Deb.

I told her we were finished.

You told me a lot of things.

You told me you were through
with her for good.

A year ago, you told me.

Only her father died
and it was different again,

wasn't it? Wasn't it?

Phone for the police, Deborah.

You don't want her to hear that,
do you?

How her father hated you,
how he said he'd throw you

out of the mill if you didn't
stay away from her.

There's no reason
why we have to listen to this.

Stay away from that phone!

It's not that easy, selden.

The world isn't being run
just for you,

even if old men
who get in your way die

when you want them to.

Or is it when you push them?
Stay where you are!

Oh, I've thought of that,
selden, even if no one else has.

But that doesn't matter now
because you're not going to have

your precious mill or your
precious bride or anything.

No, don't!

Here.

The key to this place.

I won't be using it anymore.

Deb, I...

I don't think
I'll be using this either.

- Oh, now wait a minute, Deb.
- I don't wanna talk about it.

I, I just want to...
To get away from here.

But you can't. You're my wife.

Your wife?

How long have I
been in love with you?

Ever since I was a little girl.

Fifteen years, Deb.

Yes, that's too long
for a little girl

to be in love.
It's time I grew up.

Oh, you're making too much
of this. In the morning...

I won't be here in the morning.
I'm going now.

Listen to me, Deb.
She was drunk and she was lying.

Sure, I've had dates with her.

I've had dates
with lots of girls.

She has been up here,
that's true.

I'm sorry about that.

It was a rotten beginning
for our marriage.

I'm going to have
the marriage annulled.

I won't let you do that.

Why?
Because you'd lose the mill?

Well, there's nothing
you can do to stop me.

I'll stop you.

You don't seem
to understand, Deborah.

I've waited
for that mill too long.

I've worked too hard.

I know what your father
thought of me.

How he laughed at me.

But I took it
because the mill is all

that's left of clarksville.

Let me go.

No. I took the insults
every day and I stayed.

I kept the mill alive.

Your father was ruining it

and there was no one
to stop him.

But I fought and I argued
and I stopped him.

I've waited too long, Deborah.

You're my wife and you're going
to stay my wife.

What's,
what's happened here today,

I'm sorry about that.

But you'll forget it.

We'll both forget it.

It's true, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

Everything she said...

It's true.

- All of it.
- Too much has happened, Deb.

You're... you're tired,
you're mixed up.

You're saying things
you'll regret.

You killed him.

In the morning
after you've slept,

you'll see things as they are,

not as she painted them for you.

We're tired now and hungry.

There's food in the car.
I'll bring it in.

That's my body
they're looking for.

The body
of Deborah Chandler Clark.

Those people,
they think I'm dead.

I'll have to go down there.

I've got to tell them
what happened.

That it was not suicide.

Not an accident,
but he tried to kill me.

But who'd believe me?

Who'd believe
selden is a murderer?

Patricia monahan.

S... she knows. She'll help me.

Here's a path. Alex,
Christy, better take this one.

Hope we get down there
before they find that lady.

Yeah, I never saw
a dead woman before, did you?

No, hurry up. Hurry up.

No one must see me.

I've got to stay dead
till I can find Patricia.

Be safe from him.

I've got to stay dead.

Raleigh.
We'll be here one-half hour.

Attention, please.
Attention, please.

Bus number 28 has just arrived
at Raleigh.

Passengers for south hill,
Petersburg, Augusta,

statesville and greensboro
will take bus 28,

which leaves in one-half hour.

Attention, please.

Passengers
for south hill, Petersburg,

Augusta, Columbia,

statesville and greensboro
will take bus 28,

which will leave in 30 minutes.

- Excuse me, please.
- Oh, hello.

I'd like the evening papers.

Oh, they're right
in front of you. Pick 'em up.

We, uh, do
a very small business here

and we keep everything
very simple.

You can just put the money down.

We trust everybody.

I'd like some change.

Oh, it's lying there.
Pick it up.

- Yes, but...
- Folding money, pardon me.

Can I sell you anything else?

- Uh, yachting magazine, maybe.
- No, thanks.

Wonderful thing, sailboats.

You ever seen anything
more beautiful?

- Please, I'm in a hurry.
- Of course, you are.

Everybody's in a hurry.
That's our big trouble.

Now suppose,
for the sake of argument,

that you stop
to look at this picture.

- How long would it...
- What's the matter, miss?

Something wrong with the papers?

- No, nothing. I just...
- Well, latest editions.

Stock market reports, racing
results, baseball scores...

Please, may I just
have some change?

Oh, I don't know, Keith.

What am I gonna do with you?
You sit around here all day long

reading my yachting magazines
and drawing pictures of boats.

And finally when one crummy

little two-bit customer
comes along...

Hey, boss, her change,
her change. She's in a hurry.

Oh, oh, excuse me.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

I don't understand you.

Guy like you
working in jobs like this.

Drifting across the country,
a week here, two weeks there.

- What kind of a life's that?
- I'm having a wonderful time.

That's no excuse.
An intelligent man like you.

A sergeant in the army.

Hey, pops, get off my back.

I've been out of the country
a long time.

Give me a couple of months
to enjoy it.

Ah, I don't get
the psychology of it.

Look, for 32.50 a week,
I don't discuss psychology.

Bus 32 now ready for passengers.

Now what's the matter? What are
you staring at that girl for?

Boy, what a bus ride
that must have been.

Hello. I'm Clara may.

Hello.

Uh, does Patricia monahan
live here?

Uh-huh. She's real nice.

She lets me use her perfume
all the time.

But she ain't here now.

I've gotta go finish my supper.

Clara may, who's out there?

- Someone looking for Patricia.
- Go finish your supper.

She's gone away. Couldn't stand
the heat, I guess.

- Gone away?
- Oh, she'll be back.

She will? When?

- Two or three weeks, she said.
- Two or three weeks?

Uh, do you know
where I can find her?

Seashore, I guess.
Maybe the mountains.

She didn't say.

I, I... I'm her cousin.

Ann Carter.

Look, I... I've got to get a job
and a place to stay.

Please, could I stay here?

Here? I'm all filled up
except for Patricia's room.

And if you're her cousin,
I guess you know how she can be.

Better try Mrs. rawlins
in the next block.

The house
with the green window boxes.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

- Afternoon, Mr. Maury.
- Is he up there?

Yes, sir.

So I'd be grateful to you,
gentlemen, if you'd cooperate

in every way you could
to keep this search quiet...

- Are these gentlemen reporters?
- Oh, why, yes.

- Mr. Maury, Mr. Russell...
- So I was not misinformed.

Selden, why can't you
let her be? She's dead.

I don't care to go over this
again. I'm sorry...

How long can you go on
with this publicity?

- It's indecent.
- Look, if she's alive, I've...

But she's not alive.

The newspapers are beginning
to forget about her. Let 'em.

I don't want them
to forget about her.

They dragged the whole length
of the river,

but her body was never found.

I think she is alive.

I don't know, Mr. Clark.

I don't see what we can do.

I'm sorry
about the way it sounds,

but like I've been
trying to tell you,

it's just not news anymore.

- Want a lift, Hank?
- Fine.

What if I offered a reward?

How big a reward?

Five thousand dollars.

I don't mean to be cynical,
but money's always news.

We could put it on the wires
and see what would happen.

But if she were alive,
why wouldn't she have come home?

I shouldn't have to tell you,
Lucius.

But you know what a terrible
shock her father's death was.

How do we know
she isn't suffering from amnesia

or some other
mental disturbance?

- Can I quote you, Mr. Clark?
- No, you cannot.

I want her back.

Yes, you can quote me.

This is her latest picture.

But one thing, gentlemen.

When you write your story,

I know I can count on you
to handle it delicately.

But I'm sure, I tell ya.

I saw this girl
right here in Raleigh.

I'm positive.

Only where? Where?

Five thousand dollars reward.

I've got to remember
where I saw her.

The pool room. No.

Oh, forget it.
You never saw her.

You're just, uh, overstimulated
by the idea of all that money.

I did see her. I know I did.

Five grand
practically in my pocket.

Why can't I remember?

Oh, I ought to have
my head examined.

Now what are you doing
to the customers?

What's the matter with you?

This dame, I saw her
right here in Raleigh.

I could get the reward.
Five grand.

Only where did I see her?

Where? Where?

Where? Where?

- Where? Where?
- Oh, yeah.

You, too, huh?

That's the trouble
with everybody. Overstimulated.

Rewards, get rich quick,

giveaways on the radio.

Yeah, I suppose
if you collected $5000,

it would ruin your whole day.

Ah, pops, if I had $5000,
that little cove on the...

Yeah, I know, you'd go
in the boatbuilding business.

You told me
all about it, admiral.

Hey, wait a minute.

Pops, we're the victims
of mass psychology.

Now she looks familiar
to me too.

You see?
And you're a college man.

Here you are, Annie, ham on rye.

Thank you.

Hi, Annie. Hot enough for you?

Uh-huh.

And a chocolate milkshake.

What's the matter with you?

Nothing.

What's the matter, Annie?

Nothing.

Mr. Thomas, Mr. Thomas,
I have to leave right away.

- Leave?
- Yes, right now.

May I have my pay, please?

But, Annie, it's the rush hour.

I know, I'm sorry, but it's...

It's someone in my family.
They're very sick.

Could I have my salary?
I have three days coming.

- Well, that's right, but...
- Please, Mr. Thomas, please.

Well... sure, Annie.

I'm sorry about the illness
in your family.

Now if there's anything
that I can do...

The Miami to New York limited

will arrive in Raleigh
on schedule.

All seats are reserved.

Please make your reservations.

Attention, please.

The Miami to New York limited

will arrive in Raleigh
on schedule.

- All seats are...
- Excuse me.

Please make your reservations.

Hi.

I, I'd like a chocolate bar,
please.

Help yourself, if you find one
that's not melted.

You can just put the money down.

We run
a very small business here.

We trust everybody.

Bus 32 now ready
for passengers to durham,

goldsborough, Winston-Salem,

statesville, hickory,

black mountain, ashville,

Newport, Jefferson city,

Knoxville and Memphis.

Please check your baggage,
reservations,

and make your stopover request.

- Hello, Keith.
- Hi.

Now I suppose you're gonna tell
me you're looking for customers.

Oh, hello, pops.

Look, Keith,
I've been meaning to ask you.

Would you like to do me
a big favor?

Sure, pops, anything at all.
You know that.

- Quit, wi, will ya?
- Quit? Ver

yeah. It ain't right
a guy like you

should be fired
from such a crummy job.

Okay.

Wait a minute. It don't have
to be right this second.

You're wrong, pops.
I'm afraid it does.

Well, uh, where are you going?

I don't know myself just yet.

I'll write you and let you know
where to send the stuff.

Here. This is for you.

So long, pops.

So long, admiral.

Hey, uh, Charlie.

That blond girl that just bought
a ticket, where's she going?

You know I can't tell you that.
It's against regulation.

Okay, I'll put it another way.
I just quit my job

and I'm looking
for a vacation spot.

What do you recommend?

Oh, cut it out, Charlie.

Ah, attaboy.

My name is Dave Shaw, friends.

Our first rest stop will be
goldsborough in about two hours.

Please remain seated
while the coach is in motion.

Let me out of here!
I gotta get out of this bus.

Keep away from me!
I'll kill ya! I'll kill ya!

Leave me alone.
Make 'em leave me alone.

Take your hands off me.

Make 'em leave me alone!

Make 'em let me go!
I, I don't...

Take it easy now.
You'll be alright.

Hold on.
We ain't gonna hurt you.

Anybody want a drink of water
or something before we leave?

No?

Tough crowd.

Feeling a little shaky?

A little.

By the way,
I owe you an apology.

Just so we don't have to shout.

When I first got on the bus,
I thought he was your husband.

He isn't, is he?

No.

No.

- Easy, easy, it's alright.
- No.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.
It's alright.

- What's wrong?
- You were having a nightmare.

I woke you up.

Bad, huh?

Pretty bad.

Here. Try one of these.

They're supposed to be good
for everything else.

- No, thanks.
- Go on.

It will chase the goblins away.

They can't stand fire
and smoke, you know.

Alright.

Wanna tell me about it?

I used to be a whiz
with a dream book.

There's nothing to tell.

I'm a great listener.

On the other hand,
I'm a great talker too.

Uh, you've been very nice.
Thanks.

- Not scared anymore?
- No.

Why don't you try to get back
to sleep, miss Carter?

You did say your name
was Carter, didn't you?

Yes, yes, of course. Ann Carter.

Lean back. Close your eyes.

No, I... I don't think I'll...

I'll watch out for the goblins.

Seeing as how I have to be
in the neighborhood, anyway.

No, uh, I'll be fine, really.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Knoxville. We'll be here
a half hour, folks.

The bus for ashville
is now loading

and will leave on schedule.

The ashville bus
will leave in 15 minutes...

Well, goodbye, Mr. Ramsey.
I'm very grateful.

Wait a minute. Save the farewell
address. I get off here too.

- You do?
- Mm-hmm.

But I... I thought you said
you were going to California.

- I am, in easy stages.
- Oh.

I know a couple of people here.

Yes, yes, of course.

- Sorry.
- Well, thanks again.

Maybe we'll run
into each other sometime.

I, uh, hate to leave a thing
like that entirely to chance.

- How about dinner tonight?
- No, really, I don't think so.

Oh, too bad.

Mr. Ramsey, I don't mean
to be unfriendly, but...

But what?

Well, you've asked me
an awful lot of questions.

Who I am, where I'm from,
where I'm going.

Why are you so curious about me?

No particular reason.

Any reason why I shouldn't be?

- No, I suppose not.
- Of course not.

- Now about that dinner...
- Well, we'll see.

You can call me at the hotel
this evening if you like.

Well, anyway,
I got a date for a phone call.

- Here, let me, uh...
- No, really.

I... I can make it to the hotel
desk alone, I'm sure.

- Okay.
- Goodbye.

Miss Carter,
about what time this evening?

- Oh, about 7 o'clock.
- Right.

- Call you at 7:00.
- Alright.

The bus for ashville
is now loading.

You have ten minutes
before departure.

Bus now loading for Raleigh
will be leaving shortly.

Passengers will, please,
start loading.

Well, the least
you can do is meet me.

Well, what do you expect me
to do? Walk in this heat?

Okay, I'll take a cab. Goodbye.

Hello. I'd like to talk
to clarksville,

north Carolina, please.

Person to person
to Mr. selden Clark.

I'll wait.

Little more on your side
there, Joe.

That's it, boys.
Let 'em down easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Okay. That's fine.

Well, that's that.

Day after tomorrow,
we'll have that machine

in full operation.

You can't do this, selden.

- You can't.
- I've done it.

You have no legal right to.

You're only the manager
of this mill, not the owner.

- If I'm not, who is?
- Deborah.

Deborah's dead.
You finally convinced me.

Legally, she's not, and she
won't be for seven years.

Unless they find her body.

Until then we just sit here
and let the mill rot, I suppose.

The law's the law.

And if someone
should challenge you...

Challenge me? Who'd do that?

As executor of John Chandler's
estate, I might.

Oh, no, you won't.

An executor's job is to preserve
the estate, not destroy it.

- Don't try to bluff me, Lucius.
- And don't you try to bully me.

Excuse me, Mr. Clark,

but there's a long distance call
for you.

The man didn't say what it was,
but it sounded important.

Thank you.

Hello.

Yes, this is selden Clark.
Who is this?

Alive?

How do you know?

- Where is she?
- Now take it easy, Mr. Clark.

I could be mistaken
about this girl.

She's here in Knoxville
at the claybourne hotel.

That's right, the claybourne.

I think you ought to get down
here. The quicker the better.

This is a pretty mixed-up girl.

She says her name is Ann Carter,

but the first time
I saw her in Raleigh, she...

Raleigh?

Uh, no, no,
I, I just can't imagine

why my wife should have gone
to Raleigh.

Uh, isn't there anything else?
Something she said or did?

Well, no, I can't go
all the way to Knoxville

on that kind of evidence.

Other calls keep coming in and...

Oh, I tell you,
I'm almost positive.

Now wait a minute.
It's not just the reward.

Sure, I'll collect it
if it is Mrs. Clark,

but there's more to it
than that.

I don't know you,
but this is a pretty swell girl

and she needs help.

Yes.

I suppose so.

Well, alright, I'll, I'll try

to find out more about her.

Okay, I'll call you
back tomorrow.

Goodbye.

- Yes, Mr. Clark.
- Anything important for today?

No, not that I can think of.

Ah, that's good.

I'll finish
that correspondence tomorrow.

- Yes, Mr. Clark.
- I've got a terrible headache.

I'm going for a ride
in the country.

- Anything else?
- No, thanks.

See you in the morning.

Miss Ann Carter, please.

I'm sorry, operator.

The convention just moved
into the lobby.

Could you speak a little louder?

- Come on, stop crowding me.
- I'm not crowding.

Are you sure?

But when?

Thanks, I will.

Will you shut up?

How long ago
did miss Carter check out?

Oh, about, uh, 15 minutes ago.

Did she, uh, leave any messages
or forwarding address?

No, not a thing.

Look, uh,
my name is Keith Ramsey.

Uh, if she should phone in
or something,

would you tell her
that I'm trying to reach her?

- I'm at the Jefferson.
- Yeah.

Would you remember that?

Certainly, Mr. Ramsey.
Thank you.

Attention, please.
Attention, please.

The convention special
is now arriving.

Please meet passengers
in waiting room.

Haven't you even had a call
from Patricia?

Nothing at all?

I see.

Well, no, there's no place
you could reach me.

I don't know exactly
where I'm going to be.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Just say her cousin, that's all.

I... I'll call again
in a few days.

I'll call, anyway.

You see, I just...

I have to go now. Goodbye.

I, I had to change my plans...

Very suddenly.

What's the matter, Ann?
What are you running away from?

I'm not running away
from anything.

Then why are you leaving town
this way?

Well, I, I thought
I had a job here.

Turns out I didn't, that's all.

Well, it's a pretty big town.
There must be other jobs.

Yes, I suppose so.

Well, I did make quite a few
calls but without much luck.

So I thought
I'd go back to Raleigh.

You see, I have friends there.

I was supposed to check
with you about dinner.

Why didn't you leave me a note?

I... I thought about it,

but I didn't know
exactly what to say.

Oh, just, uh,
"had to change my plans.

Going back to Raleigh. Sorry."

I am sorry.

Ann, why don't you tell me
what's wrong?

What you're afraid of?
Why are you afraid of me?

Oh, I'm not.
I'm not afraid of you. I...

Then why don't you stay here
tonight and have dinner with me?

I'd like to.
I really would, only...

That's enough. You can't improve
on that remark.

Come on. We're gonna check
you back into your hotel,

then we'll find
a good restaurant.

You know,
the kind that gives you

two olives with each Martini.

Then we'll find a park
with a lake and, uh,

you can relax
by, uh, rowing me around.

Then when you get real tired
rowing me around the lake,

you're going back
to your hotel room

and get a good night's sleep.

- How does that sound?
- It sounds wonderful.

But suppose
there's no lake in town?

Oh, well, you can get
just as tired

pushing me around a dance floor.

Attention, please.

Bus 22 now loading for Raleigh

and will leave in five minutes.

Passengers, please,
start loading.

Sorry, bud, the lady's with me.

Bus 22 is now
loading for Raleigh.

Passengers, please,
start loading.

Boy...

If you could only cook.

It so happens, I, I can.

I never would have thought it.

I had you tabbed
as a social butterfly.

Why, Mr. Ramsey,

I bet you say that
to all the blonds.

Which reminds me, we've known
each other now about, uh...

30 hours.

Time you started
calling me Keith.

Mr. Ramsey's a rich uncle
of mine. A very dull fellow.

Oh, well, in that case,
I do apologize.

Well, that's alright.
Just don't let it happen again.

Okay, Ann?

Okay, Keith.

Sounds wonderful.

Then the sun is going down,
all bright and red,

and there's a little breeze
coming up.

And maybe offshore,
you see a few sailboats

bobbing around in kind of
a lazy sort of way...

Well, I can't describe it, Ann.

You gotta see a place
like angel's cove.

You... you've got to live there

to get the wonderful
easy feel of it.

You really love that place,
don't you?

Yeah, I guess I do.

Of course, it's an ideal harbor.

Wonderful Anchorage
for small boats, you know.

You see, what I plan to do
is have a repair dock there.

Also, uh, build
small boats of my own.

Maybe have, uh,
oh, a dozen cabins for people

who wanna stick around and...

Looks like
I talked us all the way home.

Oh, Keith, it's been
such a wonderful evening.

From the two olives
in the Martini

right down to angel's cove.

And now to top the evening off

with a night of peace and quiet.

- I think you can use it.
- I can.

You know, I really can.

Nobody gets by without a badge.

Give her a badge, bill.

- Thank you.
- Alright then.

Looks like this place
is fresh out of peace and quiet.

It won't bother me.

I'm too tired to be kept up
by anything.

Glad you didn't leave town
tonight?

Oh, yes.

You know, it's, it's been
so long since I've danced,

since I've laughed so much.

There will be dancing
and laughing

at all the same places
tomorrow night.

- Same time tomorrow?
- Oh.

Alright.

Well, uh, goodnight.

Hey, pretty girl like this,

aren't you gonna kiss her
goodnight?

Why, it's unconstitutional.

That's what it is.
It's un-American.

Yeah, if you don't kiss her,
I'll kiss her for you.

Well, they're twisting
my arm, Ann.

I... I wouldn't want it broken
on my account.

I don't care what you do.

Go chase all the blonds
you want!

Missed it again.

Everybody, up to the party?

Shall we accept the invitation?

- Unh-unh. Six, please.
- Six?

Not a chance.
Everybody, up to the party.

This elevator only stops
at the ninth floor.

Ninth floor only.

I... I guess we're going
to the ninth floor.

Keith?

No! No. No.

No!

No!

No! No!

No! No!

No.

Oh, oh, oh, detour, detour.

Man at work.

Wow, what a party.
Come on. Forget her.

You don't wanna be
a one-woman man at a convention.

Let go of me.

How do you like a guy like that?

Bashful. Hey, wait for Mel

no, he isn't,
but I expect him anytime now.

Can I take a message?
Oh, wait a minute, please.

He just walked in.

- Good morning, Mr. Clark.
- Good morning.

How's your headache? Any better?

All better. I... I slept
like a log. Who's that?

The same party that called you
yesterday from Knoxville.

Do you wanna talk to him?

Yes.

- Hello.
- Hello, Mr. Clark?

Uh, this is Keith Ramsey again.

I'm afraid I owe you an apology.

No, this girl isn't Mrs. Clark.
Nothing definite, but...

I thought you said
she was pretty mixed up,

had something on her mind.

Oh, sure, she's got something
on her mind.

Who hasn't?
But she certainly hasn't got

amnesia or anything like it.

Well, uh, maybe her name
isn't Ann Carter,

but I don't think
it's Deborah Clark either.

I suppose you keep an eye on her
just to be sure.

I'll send you a check tonight
for your time.

Oh, no, no. I couldn't take
any money for that.

I was gonna keep an eye
on her, anyway.

I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong.

Well, naturally, if I find out
that I am, I'll call you.

Only, uh, don't expect
to hear from me.

Okay. Goodbye.

Hello.

Hello, Ann. How are you?

I was just thinking
of calling you.

As a matter of fact, I've been
thinking about calling you

since about, uh,
5:00 this morning.

What's the matter?

Oh, yes, of course.

Sure, I'll be there right away.

Ann.

- Who is it?
- It's me, Ann.

- Keith?
- Yes, of course.

What's the matter?

I really didn't wanna call you.

All night I tried not to,
but then, then it was morning

and I... I knew I'd have to leave
this room sometime.

He's out there somewhere
waiting for me.

Who is?

Oh, Keith, can I trust you?

Of course, you can trust me.

You don't know what it was like.

He just appeared out of nowhere.

I... I told him
he could keep the mill.

I really don't want it, Keith.

I don't, I don't.

Then he came after me
down the stairs...

And tried to kill me.

Who tried to kill you?

Only some of those salesmen
came in

and he knew he couldn't do it.

Because then it wouldn't look
like suicide.

So I got away.

I've been sitting here all night
just watching that door.

- I can trust you, can't I?
- Sure, Ann.

My name's not Ann.
I'm not Ann Carter.

I'm Deb... Deborah Chandler.

They all think I'm dead.

Maybe you read about it
in the papers.

That was the first time
he tried to kill me.

The day we were married.

Yes, that was when
I crashed in the car.

They called it suicide,
but they couldn't find my body.

W... why are you staring at me?

What's the matter?

Nothing, Ann. Nothing.

Oh, but that's why
I had to change my name,

so he couldn't find me again.

But he's found me, anyway,
and now...

Shh.

- There's nobody out there now.
- Yes, he is.

Somewhere... waiting.

Because he wants the mill

and he knows
I'll never let him have it.

Never.

Because he killed my father.

Only I, I can't prove it.

Oh, Keith! Keith, you will
help me, won't you, please?

Of course. If I can.

That place in California
where you're going,

angel's cove,
they wouldn't know me there.

Take me with you. I can hide.

Look, Ann, why don't you try
to get some sleep? Lie...

Oh, please, please, it will
only be for a little while.

Just until Patricia monahan
gets back to Raleigh.

She knows
selden's a murderer too.

We could go to the police
together,

then they'd believe me.

Oh, you will help me,
won't you, Keith?

Please, you've got to.

I'll do my best.

Do as I tell you.
Try and get some sleep.

I'll be back soon.

Where are you going?

I... I've got to find out
about trains.

About reservations.

Oh, no.

- No, don't leave me here alone.
- You'll be alright.

But supposing he comes back?
Suppose he...

Believe me, there's nothing
to worry about.

Oh, oh, Keith, I'm so afraid.

I... I'll tell you what.

Don't unlock your door.

Don't even answer
your telephone.

- Alright?
- Yeah.

I won't be long.
I'll bring you back some coffee.

Keith, are you sure
this is the right train?

Yes, of course.

"Blue sky limited."

Funny. It sounds familiar.

We better hurry.
It pulls out in about a minute.

This is our car.

Here we are. Compartment c.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing.

Oh, let's go to the diner early,
shall we?

I always get so hungry
on trains.

- Deborah, please?
- No.

Keith!

Listen to me, Deborah.
It's gonna be alright.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

You're sick
and you've gotta go home.

Oh, it isn't true. You don't
know what you're doing.

They'll take care of you there.
They'll make you well.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsey.

- Thank you very much.
- Forget it.

About that reward, Mr. Ramsey...

All aboard!

Hi.

So long, Charlie.
See you in St. Louis.

Oh, boy. Wait till I see
your wife.

Say, how about that? That guy
did pretty good after all.

What a party.

Yes, sir.
There's a guy with character.

He never gives up. Right?

What are you talking about?
What guy?

That guy on the train. You were
at the convention, weren't you?

What do you mean?
What about that guy?

Well, he finally caught up
with her, that's all.

If at first you don't succeed...

You saw him at the party
last night?

- Are you sure?
- Oh, please. Sure, I'm sure.

- With that girl?
- Oh, mister, don't shake me.

- Was he with that girl?
- I don't want any trouble.

You're not gonna get
in any trouble.

Just tell me what you saw,
that's all. What did you see?

I saw that guy and that girl
on the stairs.

He was making a big play for her
till she got mad and ran away.

What else?
What else do you remember?

Oh, please, mister,
after a night like last night,

don't ask me
to remember details.

When's the next train
for clarksville?

One just left.

I know that,
but when's the next one?

Oh, in about, uh, three hours.

It doesn't go direct,
but you can make connections.

Alright, take me back.
But I won't stay with you.

I won't.

- I never thought you would.
- Then what are you...

You can't make it look
like suicide. Not anymore.

Keith Ramsey knows
you're here with me.

I told him how you tried
to kill me last night.

Oh, you did?

That's interesting.

And, uh...

What did he do? What did he say?

You heard what he said.

"You're sick and you need
to be taken care of."

That's not true.

You've been under a great strain
since your father died.

Since you killed him.

Oh, that's what I mean, Deborah.

You keep imagining things.

That's why
you have to be put away.

Put away?

Well, after all, Deborah,
I can't go on forever

just searching for you,
worrying about you.

Put me away”?

You can't. Who'd believe you?

Lucius, all my friends,
everybody in clarksville,

they know I'm sane.

Do they?

I wonder.

Selden, listen to me.

I won't do anything.

I won't make any trouble.

I won't say anything more
about what's happened,

not to anyone, only let me go.

I... t'll just disappear.
I promise, I will.

Only, please, let me go.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you the mill.

I'll do anything you want.
I'll sign anything.

Write up the papers now.
I'll sign them here.

You can have everything.
Everything.

It won't work, Deborah.
It's gotta be this way.

What are you doing?
Why are you calling the Porter?

What is that? What is it?

- It's a telegram.
- To whom? What's in it?

- What difference does it make?
- What does it say?

It's about me, isn't it?
Let me see it!

Oh, Deborah, please.

- Yes, sir?
- How soon can I get this off?

Well, our next stop
is harleyville.

We're due in about,
uh, six minutes.

Fine. Send it
as a straight wire.

- Yes, sir.
- Porter, wait!

Read it, please.

Out loud.

I wanna be sure
the writing's clear.

That there won't be
any mistakes.

Go ahead. Read it.

"Mount hillhurst sanitarium.

Mount hillhurst, north Carolina.

Arriving hillhurst
with Mrs. Clark at midnight.

Her condition, serious.

Please have ambulance
meet train.

Selden Clark."

That's all, Porter.

No! I won't let you
send that wire!

- Porter, come back!
- Oh, stop it, Deborah.

No, you won't lock me up there.
You won't!

- Get hold of yourself, Deborah.
- You can't send that wire!

You can't! Let me go! Let me go!

- Deborah!
- No!

- Deborah!
- No! Nol

- Deborah!
- No! Nol

- Deborah, listen to me.
- No! No! No!

It's not selden.
It's me. It's Mel

I believe you, Deborah.
I believe you.

Everything you said was true.
I know that now.

That's why I flew down here
to catch the train.

Then you won't take me
back to him again?

No, darling, no. I believe you.

It's going to be alright, Deb.

We'll get everybody else
to believe you too.

It's going to be alright,
darling.

It's going to be alright.

Hello?

Yes, this is Patricia monahan.
Who is this?

Who?

Where are you?

What do you mean, help you?
Just what did you have in mind?

Well, I... I don't know.

I wouldn't wanna get mixed up
in anything.

Alright, I guess so.

I won't promise you anything,
but I'll talk to you.

No.

No, not right now,
I, I was just going out.

In about an hour, say.

Yes.

Do you know who that was?

Keith, I really don't think
you ought to come any further.

Nothing doing. She's gonna
help you if I have to...

Oh, that won't do any good.

You see, I know how she feels.

After all, she and selden...

Look, it will be easier this
way, darling. I'm sure of it.

Well, okay, but...

I'll be waiting right here.

Just in case.

Mrs. Clark.

Over here.

I thought it over. I don't want
anyone to see me talking to you.

Not my landlady or anybody else.

- Well, whatever you say.
- Get in.

But can't we talk here
just as well?

Look, I don't wanna get
mixed up in anything.

I've had enough trouble
on account of... your husband.

But you told me you hated him.

Of course, I hate him.
What of it?

I haven't got too much love
for you either.

Yes, I know how you must feel,
believe me.

But that's not really the point.

No? What is?

Selden"s a murderer.
You and I both know it.

We're the only ones who know it.

That's the man you wanted,
that's the man you got.

That's not what I wanted,
you know that.

- Patricia, you must help me.
- What do you expect me to do?

I've got to go to the police.
I want you to come with me.

If we go together,
then they'll believe us.

The police. And get my name
all over the papers?

Well, suppose you did.
Is that so horrible?

There are worse things than
getting your name in the papers.

Being stepped on by someone
you've trusted is worse.

Shielding a murderer is worse.

I don't go to the police,
not me.

Alright.

Not the police.

Would you talk
to somebody else then?

- Lucius Maury?
- Who's he?

My father's lawyer
in clarksville.

That will be enough. After that,
we could keep you out of it.

You can trust him,
I promise you.

Alright.
I'll talk to this lawyer.

- Thank you.
- Let's get it over with.

You mean tonight? Wouldn't it be
better in the morning?

In the morning,
I don't know how I'll feel.

It better be now.

Seeing as how we're halfway
there already.

But why are we stopping here.
His house is...

- Get out.
- Oh, no.

- Get out! Do you hear me?
- You can't...

Get out!

Patricia, don't do it.

Don't. He's a murderer,
you know that.

Don't let him make you one too.

Stop talking. I warn you.

Go on in. Go on!

Oh, listen to me, Patricia.

First, he killed my father,
now me, then it'll be your turn.

Don't you see? If you ever get
in his way, he'll kill you too.

You've got the gun.
It's not too late.

- For either of us.
- Just shut her up, selden.

- Shut her up. Get it over with.
- Oh, Patricia...

If you don't, I will.

Put that away.

Can she, can she get away?

Don't worry.

Oh, selden, I'm scared.
What if someone finds out?

There'll be nothing to find out.

She was crazy
and she killed herself.

John Chandler's daughter died
the way he did.

Jumping from a high place.

Someone will hear her.

Nobody will hear her.

Go on now. I'll see you
in Raleigh tomorrow.

Selden, I don't know.
I don't know!

It's too late
to change your mind now.

You brought her here.
Remember that.

Operator? Operator?

Selden.

Never mind, operator.

Selden.

Selden!

Selden!

Now that we're almost
to the cove,

I feel kind of jittery.

Why?

It's as if we were
just married yesterday

instead of three months ago.

Oh, darling, that's
the nicest thing you could say.

Well, I feel kind of shaky,
like, uh,

bringing the bride home
to meet the family.

What do you mean?

Well, after all,
uh, angel's cove

is sort of all the family
I have.

- I... I've got news for you.
- Huh?

Just so we don't have to shout.
