All language subtitles for The Alfred Hitchcock Hour S01E31 Run for Doom 1080p

- Good evening, and welcome
to the grand opening

of our new railway station.

As one of the features of the
celebration,

we are offering a prize to the
person

who can guess the number of
bodies while will be found

in these lockers during the
first week of operation.

Station lockers seem to be a
favorite spot

to check one's friends.

It's much more tidy than having
them lay around the house.

In this connection, we have
a very interesting feature.

Our architect thought of
everything.

Just on the possibility the
bodies might not be discovered

as quickly as they should,

all the lockers are
refrigerated.

I knew you'd like that.

Now that I have given you
that chilling thought,

we should best be getting on
with the principle business

of the evening, selling
our sponsor's product.

And if time permits, we
may even present a play.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

the Bill Floyd Trio
presents Miss Nickie Carole.

* It was just one of those
things *

* Just one of those crazy flings
*

* One of those bells *

* That now and then rings *

* Just one of those things *

* It was just one of those
nights *

* Just one of those fabulous
flights *

* Trip to the moon on gossamer
wings *

* Just one of those things *

* If we thought of it *

* By the end of it *

* When we started painting the
town *

* We'd have been aware *

* That our love affair *

* Was too hot not to cool down *

* So goodbye, dear, and amen *

* Here's hoping we meet now and
then *

* It was great fun but it was
just *

* One of those things *

* If we'd thought a bit *

* By the end of it *

* When we started painting the
town *

* We'd have been aware *

* That our love affair *

* Was too hot not to cool down *

* So goodbye, dear and amen *

* Here's hoping we'll meet now
and then *

* It was great fun *

* But it was just one of those
things *

* It was just one of those
things *

- Dishing out cheap thrills
again, tonight, honey?

- That's all.

- Where are you going?

- I'm thirsty.

- Number four.

- Hold the table down,
Frank, here she comes.

- My mother never let
me drink with strangers.

You know my name, what's yours?

- Don Reed.

- Hello, Don.

- Hello.

And this is Frank Farmer.

- Oh, hello.

- Well, now we're friends.

- And Mother particularly
frowned

on holding hands with friends.

- Oh, she have any theories
about love at first sight?

- Oh yes, don't.

What's this?

- That is the foot of an
Ancient Egyptian sacred rabbit

whose power has lured you
to this table tonight,

and whose power is now about
to grant me my second wish.

- Oh, well,
there's my aunt from California.

Oh, Aunt Myrtle, no,
Aunt George, excuse me.

- Are you really a bona
fide, genuine doctor?

- Mm-hm, I got my shingle a
month ago,

in Jersey.
- Jersey?

- That's right, Spring Echo, New
Jersey.

Ever heard of it?

- Anything to recommend it?

- Oh, it's the place of my
birth.

And it's got one hospital,
a couple of skating rinks,

and a pretty good restaurant.

- Are you a rich doctor, Doctor?

- Did you say rich doctor or
witch doctor?

- Take your choice.

- Well, so far I've
treated seven patients,

and one expectant mother cat.

But only three have paid.

Well, the mother cat was for
free, anyway.

I framed my first dollar
the 15th of last month

and hanged it in my office.

Looks good there, too.

- Tell me, would you
have to take that dollar

out of its frame to buy
me something to eat?

- Maybe tomorrow, but not
tonight.

And tomorrow's a long way away.

- That's what Ma always said.

Come on, let's go.

- Nobody in my family
was in medicine before.

So with my father and my
grandfather

and my great-grandfather
all being lawyers,

well, they took it kinda
hard when I became a doctor.

But I think the old man
thinks it's okay now.

He's even become one of my
patients.

- One of the ones who paid?

- Yeah, as a matter of fact.

- Eat your hamburger.

- Hey, I didn't even see it come
in.

When did it get here?

- Oh, come on.

- I'm serious, I didn't
see her bring it in.

- Well, that's a compliment.

- It's true.

- Careful, Doctor.

- Okay.

Hey, do I stand a chance
of getting on first base

if I eat this onion?

- Only if you cut it in half.

- No sooner said than done.

- Hey, has your father got
something special wrong with him

or is he just one of
your general patients?

- Oh, pretty general, I guess.

- Can I have some more hot
coffee in a new cup, please?

- Dad's got a heart condition.

But I've got him teetotaling,
sleeping until noon.

- Mmm, you sound like my kind of
doctor.

- You like to sleep till noon?

- Depends.

- Well, I'd sure hate to
have you for a patient.

You're about the last person in
the world

I'd like to get professional
with.

- Well, it's okay by me.

Professionals always bore me.

I like an amateur who loves what
he does.

- Well, when you're
finished with that coffee,

I'll take you home.

- You think so?

- Mother disapprove?

- Uh huh.

- I knew it, I struck out.

- No, you're on first base.

You did pretty good.

You're a good dancer.

You're not stingy with your
onions.

And you're smart enough
not to push too far.

Well, I gotta go, good night.

- Good night, wait a
minute, I'll drop you off.

- Uh-uh.

- Well, when will I see you
again?

- Club's open six nights a week.

Good night.

Friend of yours?

- This kid,

he gonna be another one?

- I don't know.

He's nice.

- Nickie.

Come here.

- Morning.

- Hello, Frank, how are you?

- Fine, how are you?

- Oh, I'm tired, I gotta get
some shuteye.

Any calls?

- Your father called, twice last
night

and twice this morning.

He seemed concerned.

- I'll call him in a while.

See you later.
- All right.

- Can I get you a drink, sir?

- Yes, I'll have a tall
ginger ale, please.

- A ginger ale and what, sir?

- Just ginger ale.

- Uh huh.

- What in the world have
you got in that bag?

- Oh, this is presents night.

I had in this bag, among
other things, one horseshoe,

a genuine dried four-leaf
clover,

box of candy,

flowers, well, best I could get,

a little equipment to play the
game.

How about that, I look like
I'm batting a thousand?

And last but not least,

I have known you long enough

to get you on my team, haven't
I?

- Why, I don't know.

Joining the team seems so
permanent, you know what I mean?

- Kinda, in a confused sort of
way.

- Do you know what you mean?

- Look, I'll wear it tonight,
just to see how it feels.

Mmm, heavy.

I think you've been holding out
on me.

You're secretly a sheik.

I've gotta go, it's showtime.

I'll see you later.

Glitter, glitter.

- Nickie.

It's a magic ring.

Won't come off unless you
want to lose a finger.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- See ya, Santa Claus.

- Excuse me, please.

What's the matter, your head
cold, Doc?

- Oh, hello, Mr. Floyd, buy you
a drink?

- No thanks, I've got a rule.

Only two when I'm working.

This is my fifth.

- Oh?

- You want some advice, Doc?

- What kind of advice?

- Professional advice.

- Sure.
- Don't.

- That's the advice.

- Don't what?

- Don't get into husbandcy, Doc.

Oh, she'll give you a mean
ride, but she'll throw ya.

And you won't land in clover.

- Very funny.

- You won't think so.

- What's all this to you?

- All right, here it
is, cards on the table.

Nickie's mine, Doc.

Now, she's free to come and
go and do as she pleases,

because I learned a long time
ago,

it's the only way to keep her.

But she's mine.

- You're a liar.

- I'm a lot of things,
Doc, but I'm not a liar.

Oh, she'll probably say yes
if that stone's big enough.

- And where does that leave you?

- Well, it doesn't leave
me out in the cold.

You see, she's been married
before.

But she always bounces back to
me.

And when she does, I just
call her my Boomerang Baby.

So you see, Doc, I'm not
worried about Nickie.

This advice is aimed at saving
you a fall

from atop of Niagara.

It's a long way down, Doc.

And when you hit bottom,
you know where you are?

Dead.

- Thanks, Mr. Floyd.

I'll be sure and get
a good, strong barrel.

- There isn't a barrel in
the world that strong, Doc.

Well, don't say I didn't warn
you.

- Don?

- Dad, what are you doing here?

- I'd forgotten what you looked
like, son.

Sit down.

Hope you don't mind my being
here.

- No, of course not.

- You forgot to come to the
house for dinner tonight.

- Oh, I did
forget, I'm sorry, Dad.

- I called the hospital
and talked to Frank Farmer.

He said you weren't
there, you might be here.

- Yeah, well, here I am.

What's this you're drinking?

- Only ginger ale, Doctor.

Frank told me you took out
$6,000 today.

Don't you think it's time I met
the lady?

- Ladies and gentlemen,

the Bill Floyd Trio
presents Miss Nickie Carole.

* I could cry *

* Salty tears *

* Where have I been all these
years *

* Little wow *

* Tell me now *

* How long has this been going
on *

* What a kick *

* What a buzz *

* Boy, you click like no one
does *

* Listen, sweet *

* I repeat *

* How long has this been going
on *

* Oh, I feel that I could melt *

* Into heaven, I'm hurled *

* I know how Columbus felt *

* Finding another world *

* Kiss me once *

* Then once more *

* What a dunce I was before *

* What a break for heaven's sake
*

* How long has this been going
on *

- Well, here we are, the
house that lawyers built

- Very nice.

- Well, there's a pool out back

and what's left of an old tennis
court.

And Sarah makes the
best lunch in the world.

- No thank you, Sarah.

- Thank you, Sarah.

- Cognac?

- Oh yes, that would be very
nice.

How about you, Nickie?

- Yes, thank you.

- A little cognac wouldn't
hurt me, would it, Doctor?

- Yes sir, makes the
old ticker beat faster.

You just settle back and relax.

- Will you excuse me?

- What's wrong with you, Dad?

I've never seen you be so rude.

- Her real name is Nadine
Bryant.

She was born in Los Angeles,
married three times.

- You got a detective's report.

- Read it, Don, it's all there.

- I don't care about that, Dad.

- The report states--
- It doesn't mean

a thing to me.

- The men involved with her
have ended up badly, violently.

One other thing.

Each one of them had
considerable money.

Now, doesn't that mean a thing
to you?

- I haven't got any money, Dad.

- But you will have, a good deal
of it.

You're my only heir, you know
that.

Please, Don, break this
off as soon as you can.

- No, Dad.

I'm sorry, I can't.

- Well, Don, I...

- Let's get out of here.

- What's the matter?

- I'll tell you later.

- Same thing, Charlie.

Well, honey, where's the doc?

Hasn't been around for a while.

- His father died last week.

- What, and you weren't
invited to the funeral?

You, the kid with the
best black crepe in town?

Honey, I'm surprised, you're
slipping.

Yes, I can remember when
you were in mourning

for husband number one.

How sweet you looked in black,

crying as you counted up the
coin.

- Thank you.

- The king was in the parlor,
eating bread and honey.

The queen was in the counting
house,

counting up her money.

I told you you should have
invested it.

It'd have lasted a lot longer.

You're on in five minutes, dear.

- Don.

- Yeah?

- Hello, Doctor.

- Thank you, Sarah.

Hello, Nickie, come in.

- I'm sorry about your father.

- Yeah, I got your card.

- I would've come here sooner,
but I,

I didn't think you wanted me to.

Your father didn't really like
me, did he?

- Feel like I killed him,
Nickie.

His heart condition, I
shouldn't have upset him.

- I see.

Well, if you'll get me
some soap and water,

I'll take this thing
off and get out of here.

Or a good sharp knife.

- Nickie, oh, Nickie.

- You wouldn't come
back to the club, will you?

- I was trying not to.

Important thing is you came here
to me.

- Why didn't your
father like me?

- It's not important.

Nickie, you want to marry me?

- Do I have a choice?

- I don't think so.

- I'm not exactly the
girl next door, you know.

- The girl next door
is not the girl next door.

She's 80 and she's deaf.

Say yes.

- I don't know if I could
breathe in such a small town.

- Say yes.

- I don't know if I
could settle down here.

Did you hear?

- Yes.

If you make me jealous, I'll
kill you.

- I may enjoy making you
jealous.

- Say the word, Nickie.

- Okay, Doctor.

- That's not it.

- Okay, Doctor, yes.

* Baby, won't you please come
home *

* You know your mama's all alone
*

* I have tried in vain *

* Never no more to call your
name *

* When you left, you broke my
heart *

"Here Comes the Bride"

- That's fine, miss.

Take a breather, but don't go
away.

- How did you know I was gonna
quit?

- Same ol' frequency wave, baby.

It's in the air,

you beaming it out to me.

- Didn't take you long to
replace me.

- I work just as fast as you do.

Well, how much money did
the old man leave you?

- It's not just the money this
time.

- Come on, now, it's
nothing to be ashamed of.

I guess you know what you're
doing to me.

- You know, I really hope it
works out.

- Nah, we've heard that song
before.

No, I give it about a
month, if he's lucky.

And then, hello, Boomerang Baby.

- I hate you.

- And I hate you.

That's what keeps us
together, dear, mutual hate.

It's got great staying power.

Oh, the kid's not bad.

But then it's only
temporary, isn't it honey?

You'll do just fine, miss.

Be back about nine o'clock.

- You know, I think the Tower

was the most fascinating
place of all in London.

I didn't want to go there,
but my husband insisted.

You know, all those people
beheaded, ooh.

But we just about went
everywhere

that tourists are supposed to
go.

Don's theory was we should see
everything.

- I took the very same trip.

- There you are.

You see, Donnie, Curtis is on
your side.

- Good for you, Curtis.

- You know, we stood in the same
spot

in the piazza in Florence where,

what was the name of that man,
darling,

the one that was burned at the
stake?

- Savonarola.

- That's right.

But I think my favorite city was
Rome.

You know, in Rome, everything
is the color of flesh.

Sweetheart, did you know that
Curtis

is a career man in the US Army?

And that somewhere he has a
uniform

with real lieutenant's
bars on the shoulders?

- Yeah, you told me.

- How long you two been married?

- Three, no, four weeks
tomorrow.

- It was four weeks ago today.

- Well, in that case, why
aren't we celebrating?

It's our anniversary.

Come on, let's go to the
bar and have a drink.

- We just came from the bar.

- Oh, well, see if you can
call the steward's attention,

get some drinks sent out here.

My husband's tired.

He finds the salt air very
enervating.

Amongst other things, he
was seasick this morning.

Are you feeling any better?

- Mmm.

- I bet he's gonna be a big
wallflower at the dance tonight.

Promise you're gonna ask
me for just one dance?

And I haven't had a chance
to show off my bossa nova.

I've been practicing it
in front of the mirror.

Don hasn't even managed
to do The Twist yet.

I noticed last night,

you had the best bossa nova on
the floor.

- Don.

- He's gone.

I've got to report this.

- No!

There's no way to save him.

No one will ever know.

You can't report it.

- We have reached the halfway
point in tonight's program.

And so it is time for a word
from your local station master.

This portion of our program
contains

so many announcements and
advertisements,

that I feel like a bookmark
in a mail order catalog.

Just one more item, then
we proceed with the story.

- Dr. Reed?
- Yes?

- David Carson, Federal
Bureau of Investigation.

Is this Mrs. Reed?

- Yes, come in, please.

Nickie, this is Mr. Carson,

of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

- How do you do?
- Hello.

- What can we do for you, Mr.
Carson?

- Either of you know a
man called Curtis Cane?

- Yes.

- He was a passenger on board
the ship

that just brought you
back from Europe, right?

- Oh, that's right.

- Is he a friend of yours?

- We met him onboard ship.

- You spend much time with him?

- Some, he and my husband
played shuffleboard together

a few times, and, oh yeah, one
afternoon, you played cards.

- When was the last
time you saw Lieutenant Cane?

- Oh, the last night out.

But I didn't see him when we
disembarked.

- Now, he's missing.

He didn't get off the ship
yesterday.

- Missing?

- You were dancing with
him the last night out,

weren't you, Mrs. Reed?

- Yes.

- Did you leave the dance
with him at any time??

- Before the last dance,
we went out on deck.

- Where were you, Doctor?

- Well, I was in the
bar most of the evening.

- Where'd you go when you left
the bar?

- Well, I went to the
ballroom to get my wife.

But the dance was over.

So I went out on deck
and found them talking.

- Them?

- Yes, my wife and Lieutenant
Cane.

- And?

- And he said goodnight and we
went below to our state room.

- That's not quite true,
darling.

- What is true, Mrs. Reed?

- Well, after Lieutenant Cane
left us,

my husband and I stood
talking for a moment,

until we were interrupted by
one of the ship's officers,

who came up on us in the fog.

It was then that we went
into our state room.

- Did Lieutenant Cane
seem depressed, suicidal,

anything like that?

- Well, he'd had a lot to drink.

- Well, that's it.

We have to question everyone on
board.

It's quite a list.

Sorry to have troubled you.

- I'll walk you to the door.

- Thank you.

- Uh, you'd better have a
drink, Forgetful Freddie.

You look like a cold fish.

Hello?

Oh, how did you know
I got back last night?

Frequency Wave William, huh?

Yes, Bill, the honeymoon's over.

How'd that girl work out?

Oh, I could have told you that.

What?

Oh, I don't know, depends.

Where will you be?

Uh huh, yeah, I know.

Oh, maybe.

Uh huh, I know, bye.

- Where are you going?

- I think I'm going into the
city.

- You're not leaving this house.

- What?

- You heard me.

- And you heard me.

Listen, I took a year's diction
lessons.

So should I articulate
the phrase again for you?

I am going into the city.

Let me know if you see me
coming.

- I said you're not
leaving.

- Oh, yes I am.

The ball game's over,
Doctor, now let me go.

I said let me go, or I'm
gonna have to talk to the FBI

about a mutual interest of ours.

- You told me not to report it.

- But I didn't do it.

- You're an accessory to the
fact.

- Oh, is that a phrase that
dear dead Daddy taught you?

Well, you better leave me alone,

or I'm going to tell the truth.

Sarah! Sarah!

- Yes, Mrs. Reed?

- I won't be here for dinner
tonight,

but Dr. Reed will have a piece
of fish.

- Any particular kind?

- Flounder.

- Well, how's the blushing
bride?

Still blushing?

- I left him.

- One month, two days,
17 hours, and 35 minutes.

Hello, Boomerang.

Want your old job back?

- No.

- What's the matter?

- Don't you care to sing
anymore?

- No.

- Well, now what?

- Now I go somewhere and lick my
wounds.

- Oh, what wounds?

- It wasn't easy.

- Well, I'd think you had
it down to a science by now.

How much did you take him for?
- Enough.

- I'll bet.

So one month and you've
got wounds to lick, huh?

That's all right, honey, you
got plenty of nice green bills

to bind them with.

Did he yell much, or
isn't he the yelling type?

- Not too much.

- You know, silence isn't
always golden, Nickie.

Sometimes it can be very
dangerous.

Will you see him again?

- Just to get my things.

- Uh huh, when you do, I'd
be very careful of Dr. Reed

if I were you.

Remember husband number two?

He was a silent type.

* So goodbye, dear, and amen *

- Where are you going?

- Maybe California.

You know, I came back just
to have a look at you.

You got real weak eyes, Bill.

* Here's hoping we meet now and
then *

- But you haven't asked me to
come along.

- Well, I came here
thinking maybe I'd have to.

But I don't need you anymore.

The boomerang's broken, baby.

- You wanna bet?

- Uh uh.

* It was great fun *

* But it was just one of those
things *

So long, Bill.

- Nickie!

Nickie!

- She didn't even come home last
night.

I stayed up for hours

thinking I'd get the whole
thing settled once and for all.

- Get a divorce.

- It's not that easy, Frank.

- Why?

- It just isn't.

- You don't still love her, do
you?

- No, of course not.

- I'm sorry, Dr. Reed,

your wife closed those
accounts this morning.

She said that you'd decided
to leave Spring Echo

and are moving to California.

I'm sorry to hear it.

I was planning to have you
take my tonsils out this fall.

- Well, did Sarah call you?

I gave her the day off.

Oh, I'm just taking what belongs
to me.

- Father always warned me
about my expensive taste.

Where's the money?

- Oh, you've been to the bank.

Well, that takes care of my exit
line.

You know, you always
pay for the best things,

and the best is always
expensive.

- Maybe I should frame these,

put them next to that first
dollar I made

in private practice.

Or do you want that, too?

- Just what I've got.

Accounts settled, no alimony, no
trouble.

- My father worked hard for this
money.

- And so did I.

Put that back.

Pick it up.

Thank you.

- You're all set, aren't you?

Money, airline ticket.

And a gun.

What's this?

- Oh, didn't you read the
papers?

I cut it out for you.

It was on the second page,

something about a missing
Lieutenant Cane.

So don't try and stop
me, will you, darling?

Otherwise, I might put your name
up there

on the front page.

- It's an expensive
school you run, teacher.

- But my students, once
graduated,

never make anymore mistakes.

- 1600 Fairfield?
- We don't want any.

- Oh yes, you do.

Well.

Now, you really live in style,
Mrs. Reed.

Nice luggage.

Going somewhere?

- All right, how much?

- You know, Nickie, money's made
you dull.

You never sent me that much.

I thought I'd just, you know,
come along for the ride.

- Well, the ride's
over for you, Mr. Floyd.

- Oh, Nickie, a gun?

I don't believe it.

- Get out.

- You know something, Nickie?

I really love you.

After all these years, it just
hit me

how much I really love you.

- You're breaking my heart.

Now get out of here.

- You're sending out awfully
faint waves to me, Nickie.

That old frequency we worked on
tells me

that this time, this time you
might not come back to me.

- Stop, Bill.

- You know, you need a little
putting in place, Nickie.

I mean, after all, pulling
a gun on an old friend.

- You forgot to initial it,
Doctor.

- Dr. Reed, Dr. Donald Reed,

you're wanted at the Emergency
Desk.

Dr. Reed, Dr. Donald Reed,

you're wanted at the Emergency
Desk.

- I killed her, I killed
her, I killed her!

- Where is she?

- Dr. Reed?

- Where is she?

- Upstairs in the bedroom.

- Give me back my money.

- You're dead!

- Give me my money!

- He thinks he killed you.

- Let him think it.

You give me my money.

- How is she, Doc?
- What?

- Mrs. Reed, how is she?

You know that crazy musician
thinks he killed her?

Well, let him think it.

It'll be easier to get a
full statement from him.

Besides, we've got him solid
