"At first."

"All I could see was this face."

"This beautiful babe's face."

"Floating towards me."

"And in my head."

"Was this slow, crazy melody."

"Like a tune from another world."

"And then I saw the room."

"A queer, mirrored room."

"And somehow I was inside it."

"There was danger there."

"I knew that."

"I wanted to turn and run."

"But I couldn't."

"It was as if my brain was handcuffed."

"That I had to do what
I had come to do."

"What a dream."

"Those thumbprints on my throat."

"They weren't there last
night when I undressed."

"It couldn't be."

"That all happened in a nightmare."

"Talk about your realistic dreams."

"I couldn't have done it in my sleep."

"I choked myself without waking up?"

"Blood."

"I must have scratched myself."

"There they are."

"The button and that odd-shaped key."

"The things out of the dream."

"I had never seen them before."

"They hadn't been there when
I undressed last night."

"The button wasn't mine."

"The key wasn't mine."

"But if they were there.."

"It must have happened."

"The dream, the struggle,
the murder. Everything."

"But how?"

"Could something like that
happen and I wouldn't know it?"

"Was I going insane?"

"Across the rooftops I
could see the river."

"Out there everything was status quo."

"The hassle was in here."

"With me."

"My stomach was riding
a roller-coaster."

"I couldn't face going to work."

"I didn't want to see anybody."

Will you get me Canal 47362.

"Don't tell me."

"Don't tell me."

"The troubles you have known."

"Don't tell me."

"Please don't tell me."

"I've troubles enough of my own."

"If you've got a man
that you want to keep."

"I have nothing more than this to say."

"Keep one eye open
every time you sleep."

"Or your man will get away."

"And that is the last.."

"You will ever see of your man."

"It was the very last time."

"I saw.."

"My man."

Baby, if you won't come as you're sore
over last night, forgive and forget.

What do you say?
- Stan?

Well, if a guy is sick he is sick.

How long do you think it will be?

Well, I don't know.
I'll try to get Peewee.

What did he say? What's the matter?

Four sides we got to cut and
your boyfriend turns up sick.

What is it? Did he tell you?
Is it something serious?

Do you think it's because I
didn't use his arrangements?

Billy, he wouldn't you stand you up for
a session. It must be something serious.

I know you love the guy. I love him too
but you got to admit he is a screwball.

He's the kind of screwball I like.

Have it your way. We got
to get a sub. Fat chance.

Let's see.

'Thomas. Peewee Thomas'.

"The more I tried to figure
it the sicker I got."

"Even that weird nightmare
music kept tearing at me."

"Where did I ever hear it before?"

"All of a sudden the
room started spinning."

Hotel New Orleans?
Stan Grayson's room please.

Mr Grayson doesn't answer?

Oh. Thank you.

Honey. The genius shouldn't be there.
- Oh, Billy.

If he was laid up. Know what I mean?
- No, I don't.

Something awful fishy about this.
He can be replaced.

Don't do anything rash.
Give me a chance to talk to him.

What good will that do?

And you guys played
that last number lousy.

"I had to get out of my room."

"Out into the sunshine."

"I had to stay out of the shadows."

"And I know that tonight."

"I would be afraid of the dark."

"I walked all day.
I didn't know where.."

"It didn't matter."

"I had to talk to somebody."

"Gina."

"I'd get sympathy from Gina."

"What I needed was an explanation."

"Renee."

"My brother-in-law."

"He ought to be able
to figure something."

Hi.

Now, wait a minute.

I have seen you somewhere before.

Hello, Sis.

I was just telling Rene.
Couldn't have been ten minutes ago.

I said if you didn't show up in the next
few days I was sending out a posse.

You're just in time for dinner.
As if you didn't know.

You're staying for dinner, aren't you?
- Yeah. Sure.

Hey, you look a little peaky.

I keep telling Rene you
don't take care of yourself.

Those restaurants, those hours.

Do you feel alright?

I'm okay, Sis.

Well, you look peaky.

Just a little tired.

Been working today?

A recording session.
- Oh good.

I hope you have a hit.
- Where is Rene?

Now, where would he be?

In the garage?

Wait until you see what he's working
on now, my do-it-yourself husband.

He gets so wrapped up he is just
as liable to forget about his dinner.

So you tell him it will be on
the table in five minutes.

Will you tell him?

Hello Rene.

Stan.

Don't ever creep up on me like that.
I am just liable to cut your head off.

How do you like her?

A sweetheart, isn't she.
- A beauty.

When did you get her?
- Three weeks ago.

Steel.

You know, this fellow's wife.
She is afraid of the water.

Say, Rene. I've got to talk to you.

Well, I'll just finish..
- No, wait a minute.

Something eating on you, fellow?

Rene.

I've got a real problem.

Well, shoot.

I don't know where to start.
I don't know how to start.

You and Gina had a row, huh?
Well, I'll fix that up for you.

No. I wish it was that easy.
- Well, what else?

You know, you are going to
think that I've flipped my lid.

Last night I had a nightmare.

I dreamed I killed a man.

So, you had a nightmare.

I don't know who he was.

And I don't know where
it was supposed to be.

But it was in some kind
of a mirrored room.

I had a fight with him.

I stabbed him with some kind
of a steel tool of some kind.

I..

Well, during the struggle.

A button came off his coat.

And after I had killed him.

I locked his body in a
closet and I took the key.

That was quite a dream.

Then.

When I woke up.

Well.

Look.

And this morning.

There was blood on my wrist.

No.

No, no. Listen to me.

I figured I'd scratched
myself in my sleep.

So I washed it off.
But that was before I saw these.

You are all to pieces, kid.

Rene, you've got to help me.
- Sure, kid. Sure.

You don't know what
I've been through today.

Where did you get this?

I told you.

No. I mean, where did you first get it?
Before you dreamed about it.

You haven't been listening to me.

You don't understand what I'm saying.

I didn't have it before I dreamed
about it. I never saw it before then.

Then, when I wake up it turns out real.

I warned you before.

You work too hard and you play too hard.

I know. You're a musician and high
strung with that artistic temperament.

But you must know when to draw the line.
- Rene..

And it isn't up to me to lecture
you about drinking either.

But hanging out in bars until..
- Stop it, Rene.

Look, I wasn't drunk. And I'm not loony.

There is a door somewhere.

Right this minute and
this key belongs to it.

And behind that door there's man.

Dead.

I don't know who he is.

I don't know where it is.
I don't know how it happened.

But it must have happened.

And I must have done it.

Otherwise, how would it come
to me in my sleep like this?

And these things?
- Now. You listen to me, kid.

You had these things before.

You picked them up someplace and forgot
them someplace. A long time ago.

And last night you..

Have some chilli con carne, a drink too
many and you cook up a nightmare.

It's then that you remember these
old things and you weave them in.

No, no.
- Don't say no.

Now, you either dream a
thing or it actually happens.

Don't worry.

If you had a battle with a guy..

And remembered him when you sleep.

You would wake up alright.

It happened, Rene.
I tell you it happened.

You dreamed it.
You never had these things.

Why don't you take a few days rest?
You are wearing your nerves thin.

Take Gina down to Biloxi.
Do a little fishing.

That is your answer?
- Yes.

Take a vacation?

That's all you can tell me?

Stan. Rene.

Come and get it.

Look, Rene. Please.

I tell you once more that I
never saw these things before.

Now forget these things.

And not a word of this
to Sue, you understand?

She worries about you enough.

You haven't helped me a bit.
- Well, naturally not.

Do you expect me to arrest you for
murdering somebody in a dream?

Well, the arrest will have to
happen in the dream too.

Because I am off duty when I'm dreaming.

Come on. Come on, kid.

Let's wrap ourselves around some chow.

Will you do me a favor?

Smile for Sue, will you?

Darn it all.

I keep cracking the
polish off that one nail.

You like curried shrimps, Stan?

He'd better like them, eh Sue?
As that's what we are going to have.

Are you feeling better, Stan?
I thought you were sick.

Well, I was.

I just wasn't feeling well.

I kept calling your room all day
and there was no-one there.

And Billy got a little bit suspicious.

I didn't feel like working today and I
wasn't sick enough to stay in my room.

Why does everybody have to
make such a big thing out of it?

"The blood."

"I washed it off."

"I don't know how long
I was blacked out."

"I hazily remember waking for a moment
and felt I was being carried somewhere."

"And then I blacked out again."

"It must have been around midnight
that something wakened me."

Feel any better?

Did I do any talking?

Did I say anything?

No, nothing.

But you scared the
daylights out of them.

What am I going to do?

Sue is sleeping now.

I took Gina home a while ago.

Did they ask any questions?

What do you think?

What did you say?
- The truth.

No, no. Not what you're thinking.

Not that dream business
but the real truth.

You're wearing yourself out.
- Rene, how can I make you understand?

You passed out just like
any high-strung guy..

Who's seen ghosts that he
made for himself in here.

Go on.

Keep on talking like that
and you'll drive me batty.

Instead of that, why don't
you try and help me?

How?

You are a detective.
Take the key and the button.

You've had many cases where you
had less than that to begin with.

Find out where they came from
and what they were doing on me.

Find out where that mirrored room is.
- Now, forget them.

Once and for all, forget them.

I can't. They are all I've got
to find out what happened.

Nothing has happened.

You're selling yourself
a phony bill of goods.

Just as phony as that
nail polish was blood.

It's the kind of trick your
mind has played on you.

It can't be that.

Now look.

And don't you crack on to Sue
about this nonsense or I'll..

Well, just don't crack.

She has fretted herself about you
plenty ever since your mother died.

I know.

Now would be the worst time of all.

Now?

Why now?

I wasn't going to tell
you until later. But..

She is going to have a kid.

That's fine, Rene.

That's fine.

After being married nine years?

It's great.

And now you know.
So forget it, will you?

And if you keep harping on
this spooking business..

I am going to grab you and take you
down to a head doctor. So help me.

Now go on. Get some sleep.

"Sleep?"

"I felt I would never sleep
again until I knew the answer."

"Four days went by without a lead."

"I scoured the papers."

"Not one line about the murder."

"I couldn't figure it."

"And all week I had been avoiding Gina."

"I didn't want her involved in this
horror that kept gnawing at my brain."

"If something didn't happen soon.."

"That was it."

"That out-of-the-world melody."

"If I could out where I had heard it."

"That would give me something to go on."

"One of my hip friends
ought to know that tune."

I never met up with that one, Stan boy.

Sorry.

Man, that's a weirdie. You got me.

"It was the same from one end
of Bourbon Street to the other."

"It was a tune that
stumped the experts."

"Sorry, Stan."

"I guess I lose the $64,000."

Thanks anyway, Meade.

"It was her."

"The babe from the mirrored room."

I beg your pardon.

Did you say something?

I thought you were somebody else.

That's not very original.
It will do for a starter.

No. You got me wrong.

I really thought you..
- Was someone else?

And then I say: 'Is that so'?
Then you say: 'Yeah'.

'This friend of mine.
She looks just like you'.

From the back.
- Yeah. From the back. Naturally.

Then, pretty soon you're sitting next to
me and we're having a drink together.

Why don't we just skip
all the preliminaries?

What was that when you started it?

Rye. He says.

Two of the same.

The greatest.

Do you come here often?

If nothing happened I would let one more
number run over me and then I was going.

If nothing happened.

What is your name?

Joe.

Joe May.

Hi, Joe May.

I am Madge Novick.

Well, here is to..

What do we drink to, Joe?

Sunshine?

I'll buy that.

Here is to sunshine.

Why sunshine?

I just like it better than.. the dark.

Me too.

Every morning when that
sun is shining I am fine.

By the time night rolls around if I
ain't got something lined up.. oh..

Honey. You are in a state
of the galloping jitters.

I am upset about something.

Like to tell Mama about it?

You would think I had lost my marbles.

Take a good look around.

All kinds of people
sitting by themselves.

Trying to find companionship or..

Maybe a little sunshine in a glass.

Sometimes I think we're
all minus a few marbles.

What do you want, Oscar?

I guess he wants to
get me another drink.

I have a better idea.

My place.

I call it a place.
It's not quite an apartment.

It is right around the corner.

We can have ourselves
a quiet drink there.

And you can tell me all your troubles.

And pretty soon they'll just fade away.

Okay.

Okay.

"All my closets full of men's clothes."

"And no man to put them on."

"Got to find a man to love me."

"Before this day is gone."

"A woman ain't a woman."

"If she ain't got herself a man."

"A woman ain't a woman."

"If she ain't got herself a man."

"There must be a man who loves me."

It's not very big.

Make yourself comfortable.

Sit down.

On that?

It is my oriental blood.

I like to sit cross-legged and brood.

Fix yourself something.
I will be right back.

Hi.

Do you want to tell me
your troubles now?

Huh?

What is the matter?

Joe.

Who is it?
- Me. Rene.

Hello, Rene.

Still dragging your nose?

Well, I've got something
downstairs that will cheer you up.

For Pete's sake, Rene.

Come on, come on.
Don't be a mule. Put it on.

We're going out on a little picnic.
- I don't want to go anywhere.

Don't you want to help
your sister celebrate?

Celebrate what?
- The brand-new car I just got her.

That is fine. I hope she enjoys it
but I don't want to go anywhere.

You are going to hide in
your room like a groundhog?

Now look here.

This is Sunday.

It's my day off.

Suzy and I are taking
a ride in the country.

She's cooked a big pot
of jambalaya for you.

Look, will you stop treating
me as though I'm cracked?

I won't take a jaunt to shake the devils
out of me if that's what you're after.

Do it for Sue, will you?
Don't make her worry.

Do you want me to have a baby
with wrinkles in his forehead?

Come on.

That's the boy.

Look, Rene. You're putting me
in an embarrassing position.

Come on. Don't be a weasel.

Come on.

Hello Gina.
- How are you, Stan?

How are you, Sue? How you feeling?
- Me? I am fine.

Good. It's a swell car.

Just another toy for my boy here.

Is that so? I bought it just for you.
- Sure.

I can't even drive.

Stan, this wasn't my
idea at all, you know.

Don't apologise.

I'm glad you picked me up.

Well, where shall we go, kids?

Just anywhere out in the country.

Any ideas, Stan?

What about Bayou Lafourche?

Bayou Lafourche it is.

"Bayou Lafourche."

"It just popped into my head."

"Gina and I always preferred the lake
but something made me say Lafourche."

"Somehow, it seemed important."

Tell me.

You know where you are going?

No.

But I got a hunch that not
too far down this road..

We'll find just the spot with nice
soft grass and a cool breeze.

Uhuh.

Did you ever see anyone so stubborn?

The ants around here are just as
friendly as the ants farther down.

Now, what is the matter
with that spot over there?

Nothing, but I think a
little further down..

Alright then. Stop here.

I am getting hungry.

Okay. Okay, my love.
Seeing you're eating for two now.

You must be awfully hungry.

Want some more?

No, no. Three plates were enough.

You know, if anybody should ask me..

This was the best jambalaya I ever ate.

Just like mother used to make.

The jambalaya my mother used to
make wasn't half as good as yours.

Oh, Rene.

Hey, kids.

Lots more to eat if you want it.

No thanks.

Stan.

When are you coming back to work?

I don't know.

Billy has been griping all week.

I can't work.

Can you understand that?

I understand. But Billy said unless you
show tomorrow he doesn't want you again.

Well, that's the way it will have to be.

Don't you trust me, Stan?

Why don't you tell me
what is troubling you?

I know that you are not really sick.

If..

If you love me.

Please don't shut me out.

Forget it, Gina.

You can't help me.

The best thing for you is
to just forget about us.

Now take it easy, Suzy girl.

I can't help it.

You know what thunder does to me.

Yeah. We had better go.

Stan, come on. It's going to rain.

Holy smokes. You didn't
have to take me seriously.

The gosh-darned wipers are stuck.

You should have tried them
dear before you bought it.

Alright, alright.

Rene, I can't stand any more of this.

Let's stop at the first place
we can and get out of this.

Alright now, baby.
Calm down, calm down.

No houses around here.

"That bridge."

"I have seen it before."

"But when?"

There is a cut-off a little way ahead.

Just around the bend.

There is a big house up there I think.

You know this section?

You've been here before?

There is the cut-off.

Are you going to get us
more lost than ever?

No, no. Keep going.

You'll come to it.

There is a brick gateway.

You turn in there.

"I didn't know how I knew that."

"But the closer we came
the harder my heart pounded."

"And the more frightened I got."

There it is.

Turn Rene. Into the gate.
Like he told you.

Let's make a dash for it.

I wonder if there is anybody home.

I wish we could gain access finally.

I knew there must be
a key here someplace.

Stan, are you going to stand out there
all day? Come on in and close the door.

Let's have some light.

Not that one.

What is this, a rib?

How come you know so
much about this place?

It's a rib.

Your brother. The great comic.

Hello.

Anybody home?

Don't do that.

Stan, you are cold. You are shaking.

So are you. We had better
find a place to dry out.

Before we get pneumonia.

It looks like they've
been away a long time.

You being a detective
comes in handy, dad.

In case anyone shows up, we won't get in
trouble for crashing in here, will we?

Let's see what gives at the fireplace.

Well, that is a lucky break.

It's a gas log.

Better sit down. Dry out.

Before you catch cold.

I am bushed.

There must be a kitchen
around here someplace.

A little hot tea won't do you any harm.

Remember that one, Sue?

"That was it."

"The nightmare melody."

"It was just that old tune
slowed down to a lower pitch."

"Had I heard it that way before?"

"Was it here?"

Stan.

Why don't you come
over here by the fire?

"This is the place alright."

"This is the place."

Yeah.

Wipe your forehead.

Have you got the key?

What are you two doing up there?

Keep her downstairs.
Keep her downstairs.

Be down in a minute.

Watch the kettle in the kitchen.
I've got some water boiling for tea.

Alright. But I wish you
would stop poking around.

Look.

That's what he was crouched
in front of that night.

He must have been using a blow torch.

That is what made that bluish light.

It made her face stand out in
the reflections like a mask.

That must be the one I..

I propped him behind after I..

No, no, no.
- Get out the way.

Dried blood.

Someone who was hurt was in here.

Someone who is dead.

Are you two coming down or do I
have to come up there and get you?

'Freud's Studies in Hysteria'.

'Manual of Psychotherapy'.

'Narco-Analysis'.

The owner of this house must
be a doctor or something.

I'll take the tray back to the kitchen.
- Never mind.

I'll take it.

The rain ought to let up soon.

Why don't you catch yourself
a little nap? Do like Sue.

Close it.

I don't want them to hear this.

Sit down.

Now, let's hear about another dream.

You think I liked, don't you?

You knew how to get here
from a dream, didn't you?

You knew where the key was
from a dream, didn't you?

That fumbling around didn't fool me.

You knew where the light
switch was from a dream.

If you weren't Sue's brother, I'd push
your lying face back through your head.

I told you how the whole thing happened.

You came to me for help.

But you had no guts to come clean.

To say: Look, Rene. I went to such
and such a place and I killed a guy.

Such and such a guy for
such and such a reason.

No. You had to cook up a dream.

I can respect a man no matter how
terrible a crime he has committed.

If he owns up to it.

I can respect a man who
would deny it flatly.

But a guy that comes to a man and preys
on the fact he is married to his sister.

Abuses his common sense
and makes a fool out of him.

I didn't. I told you the truth.
- Are you true to me?

Well, I've got no use for him.

He's lower than the lowest crap we ever
nabbed for knifing someone in an alley.

'Look, Rene'.

'Look'.

'I found this key in my
pocket when I woke up'.

'Look. I found this button'.

Trying to play on my
sympathies, weren't you?

Getting me to think in terms of doctors
so as to get you off. Was that it?

Was it?

Rene.

Well, that was quite a dream.

Well, the dream is over
and baby is awake.

Now, you are going to tell me the facts.

Whether it goes any further
than me, that is my business.

But at least I am going to get them.

How could I tell you what I don't know?
- What were you doing here that night?

What brought you here?
- I was never here before.

Who was the man you killed?
What was his name?

Are you going to tell me? Are you?

Are you going to answer me?

How can I answer you when I don't know?

Why did you kill him? Why?

I've handled closed-mouth guys before.

Now, you're going to tell me or I
will half-kill you with my own hands.

Get over there.

What is this?

I'll ask the questions.

What are you doing here?

We came in out of the rain.
Will that suit you?

Not yet.

Identify yourselves
and be quick about it.

Help yourself.

'Rene Bressard'.

'New Orleans homicide division'.

Glad to know you, Bressard.

How about doing a little
identifying yourself?

I am a deputy attached to the
Sheriff's Office in this parish here.

'Torrence' is the name.

My brother-in-law Stan Grayson.

Hi.

I am detailed to keep
an eye on this place.

I was home having a bite to eat and
on my way back to the station I..

Say.

How did you get in here?

I thought I had it locked.

We found a key in the
flowerpot on the porch.

You did?

It must have been a spare.

I have the original.
We didn't know there was a spare.

What do you mean, you were detailed
to keep an eye on this place?

Didn't you know?

There was a murder
committed here last week.

Was there?

I'd like to hear about it.
Murder is my business.

Have a cigarette.
- No thanks.

I cut them out about a month back.

I always carry a pocket
full of these now.

This place belonged to a wealthy
couple named Belknap.

He's in the importing business.

He often goes away
on long business trips.

He was away when it happened.
Somewhere in Mexico.

In fact, we haven't been
able to notify him yet.

His wife was a pretty little thing.

Was?
- Kinda flirty.

There was a young buck
she used to run around with.

His name was.. Bob Clune.

Was?

The milkman found Mrs Belknap
about daybreak Monday.

Near the road that leads up here.

Dead?

Dying. Unconscious.

Both legs broken. Skull fractured.

Insides all busted up.

It kinda gets him, don't it.

Things like this are
new to him, I guess.

About this woman.

How did it happen?

It was a car did it. We found it later.

Hair and blood on the tyres.

Bob Clune's car.

Then Warner. That's my chief.
- Yep.

He comes here to look around and..

He finds a safe busted in
a mirrored room upstairs.

I'll take you up there and
show you if you want.

A mirrored room?

Yeah. Well, that gave us our case.

We figured that Clune knew that
Belknap had a lot of money in the safe.

When he went to Mexico.

So he came up here
and started to heist it.

And then Mrs Belknap caught him.

She ran out afraid he would kill her.

He got in his car, chased her
down the road and ran over her.

"All of a sudden life was swell again."

"I don't know how to drive."

"And Rene know that too."

Here.

Have a smoke, kid.

Yes. Thanks.

You got a match?
- Yep.

Well.

That was the case we thought
we had until Wednesday.

Thought you had?
- Yeah.

We sent out a general alarm for Clune.

And then on Wednesday morning.
Mrs Belknap came to.

The first thing she asked
was: Is Bob alright?

He didn't kill Bob Clune, did he?

He?

Yeah.

What she told us sent us
hotfooting back here.

We found Clune's body propped up behind
one of those mirrored doors upstairs.

He'd been stabbed with
an ice-pick or something.

She died that night. Well.

There went our case.

Did you..

Did you get anything on the real killer?

Practically everything
except the guy himself.

She took a good look at
him when it happened.

We got all the dope over
at my chief's office.

I'm just on my way over there.
You interested?

Yeah.

Who knows? I might even be
able to help you find the killer.

Glad to have you come along.
- Thanks.

I'd better let the girls know
we'll be gone for a while.

My wife.

You shouldn't let it get to you.
This is just routine with us.

I know.

It's just that I am not used
to this sort of discussion.

Yeah. I can understand that.

I was a little bit squeamish myself
when I first started this job.

I told Gina.

Sue is still asleep.

Come on.

I'll stay here.
- Come on.

Isn't it odd Captain Warner..

That they never printed anything
about it in the New Orleans papers?

They're playing ball with us.
- Is that so?

We have the theory..

That if the killer didn't read about us
finding the bodies he might come back.

Take a look.

Maybe he'd want to find out
what happened to Mrs Belknap.

Yep.

Here is the description she
gave us before she died.

Uhuh.

Getting along about that age.

I had to get me some reading glasses.

Maybe this will help.
- Thanks.

'The killer was about thirty.
Medium build'.

'Brown hair'.

'His eyes were fixed and glassy'.

'He could have been
mentally unbalanced'.

Have you any pictures of them?

Mrs Belknap and Clune I mean.

I had some taken in the morgue.

Can I have a look at them?
- Sure thing.

Thank you.

It's stopped raining.

Think you'll have the barbecue, Captain?
- A sure thing.

It will as dry as a bone by six o'clock.

Any ideas?

No. I just thought it might fit
in with something at our office.

Have a look at them, Stan.

Who knows?

You might even know these people.

"It was them alright."

"The faces in the nightmare."

"Now I knew there was no escape."

"I was a murderer."

He went out like a light.

What do you suppose made him do it?

Was it the pictures of
those dead people?

Things like that sure get them.
I've noticed that before.

He is not well. He gets these
dizzy spells every now and then.

It's only since I..
- Never mind.

Here, take this.

That' better.

Stan.

As soon as I get him home
he'll be a hundred percent.

Well, I hope so.
- Thanks.

That's alright.

I'll be seeing you.
- Goodbye.

Thanks, Sue. Sorry the
rain spoiled the picnic.

Take care of yourself, Stan.

You too. I'll call you.

I'm going up for a minute.

You happen to be parked near a hydrant.

McBurney is on this beat. If he says
anything just tell him whose car it is.

I'm going to take Sue home
before I do anything else.

I love Sue. I think you love Gina.

That is your business.

All I know is that I love Sue.

It's bad enough what this will
do to her when she finds out.

Rene, what am I going to do?

Run out.

I am giving you that one last chance.

If they catch up with you I want you to
meet your end somewhere else. Not here.

If you're still here in the morning..

I am going to arrest you for the
murder of those two people.

I still don't know what happened.

I don't have to ask you
if you killed them.

You passed out cold when you saw
their dead faces in those pictures.

I'm going to turn in what I know
tomorrow at my precinct house.

And they can pass it on to Warner.

I'll be back in the morning.

You'd better be gone.

I beg your pardon.

The fifteenth floor. Take me up to it.

Can't you go any faster?

Got it wide open.

Fifteen.

You should have let me.
You should have let me.

Well, I didn't think of that way out.

Come on. Get up.

Stan.

I didn't want to drag you into this.

What is it, Stan?

If you are in such terrible
trouble that you wanted to..

But why, Rene?

Why would he want to go and do such a..

Never mind now. I will handle it.

Now, you go on down and take Sue home.

Don't tell her any
more than you have to.

Tell her that Stan is sick and I thought
I'd better stay with him tonight. Okay?

Whatever it is, just make
him understand I'm with him.

You go right ahead, will you.
And take care of Sue.

Rene.

Did I wake you?

What about the arrest?

What about it?

If you're going to take me down in the
morning, what is the sense of waiting?

None, maybe.

Here. Have a smoke.

No thanks.

What I can't figure.

I gave you a chance to run out.

Instead, you tried
to kill yourself. Why?

I can't escape from myself.

There is something wrong with me.

I killed those people. I don't know
how or why or how I got there.

You should have let me jump.

Something is wrong with this lamp.

Maybe the fuse is out.

It happened to the old guy
in the next room one night.

Yeah?

He had to use a candle.

The same night I had the dream.

Yeah. Just a loose bulb.

What did you say?
He had to use a candle?

What do you mean?
Were you in there with him?

No, no. He came and rapped on my door.

He stuck his head in and wanted
to know if my lights had gone out.

Why did he have to come in here?
Couldn't he tell by the hall?

I don't know.

There is a little night
light in the hall.

Maybe it's on a different circuit.

The night you had this dream?

That's right.

Tell me everything that
happened that night.

Anything unusual at the club?

Well, we were all keyed up about
a recording session the next day.

We played our closing number
at the club same as always.

"He took me out on the town."

"It was a merry-go-round."

"Oh, what a spin he had me in."

"My heart was wrapped up and sold."

"But when the fire grew cold,
the way he threw me down.."

"Was a sin."

"And here's the kicker."

"I wouldn't figure."

"If he just wanted me
again, I would say fine."

"What's your sad story?"

"What's your sad story?"

"What's your sad story?"

"It can't be sadder than mine."

"He took me out on the town."

"It was a merry-go-round."

"Oh, what a spin he had me in."

"My heart was wrapped up and sold."

"But when the fire grew cold.."

"The way he threw me down.."

"Was a sin."

"And here's the kicker."

"I wouldn't figure."

"If he just wanted me again."

"I would say fine."

"What's your sad story?"

"What's your sad story?"

"What's your sad story?"

"It can't be sadder.."

"Than mine."

Thank you so much.

We'd like to play all night but even
musicians must sleep. Goodnight, folks.

Say, baby. You were
the greatest tonight.

Thanks, darling.
- Can I walk you home?

You look tired, Stan. You feel alright?
- I'm fine.

Stan, we're using the old arrangements
on the recording day tomorrow.

Are you kidding? I've not slept
for a week getting these ready.

Maybe that's what's wrong.
You need some shuteye, genius.

You can't do that.
What's wrong with them?

You asked me. I'll tell you. They are
too far out. They're not commercial.

Who says?

I says.

You can't hear the melody. If the public
can't hear the melody, you're dead.

D-E-D. Dead.

So how long will you keep
playing the same old corn?

Just because it's a bit progressive..
- Leave it up the guys here.

You've played them.
What do you say, fellahs?

Yeah. He's right, Stan.
- Too progressive.

Too modern.

You haven't said anything.

You wouldn't want me to lie, Stan.

Here, Stan.

We'll play the old arrangements
tomorrow. The corny ones.

Stan.

I know you're upset about this, honey.
- I'll see you tomorrow, Gina.

So I came back here to the hotel and..

Then you came upstairs
and went to sleep?

Well, no.

I was still burned about Billy
so I stopped in at the bar.

Downstairs.

I thought I would unwind
before I tried to sleep.

"And this old fellow, Britten."

"The one that lived in
the next room here."

"He came over and bought me a drink."

"He was a friendly old guy."

"He'd been living here
for a week or so."

"I used to meet him in the elevator."

"I thought I'd have a brandy, but.."

"He insisted a daiquiri
would be more relaxing."

"You know, I don't like rum, but.."

He was such a nice old guy that..

I took it just to please him.

Uhuh.

How many drinks did you have?

Just a couple.

Then I came up here and I went to bed.

You went right to sleep?

No. I read the paper
like I do every night.

I always read the sports.

"I just put out the light and closed my
eyes when I heard a knock at the door."

Who is it?

Harry Britten from next door.

Just a second.

Pardon me. Did I wake you?

No.. no, no.

I just put out the light.
- You did?

My light went out. That's what I wanted
to see you about. I thought maybe the..

Circuit was off.

Is your light working?

Try it.

Yes. I guess it was just
the globe that burned out.

Sorry to trouble you.

Not at all.

You are tired, aren't you?

I can see you are pretty tired.

I am sorry.

No. Really, it's alright.

You are tired and I woke you up.

It's alright.

I guess he's got a one-track mind.

Used to mumbling to himself maybe.

Anyway, he finally
closed the door and..

I dropped right off to sleep.

Now, wait a minute.

Are you sure the door closed after him?

Did you hear it? Did you see it closed?

What the difference? The door must have
closed. He went away. I went to sleep.

He was standing in the door there with a
candle in his hand and he kept saying..

'You are tired'.

So what?

'His eyes were fixed and glassy'.

'He could have been
mentally unbalanced'.

What?

I was just..

Remembering something in that deathbed
statement Mrs Belknap made to Warner.

You say you..

Used to talk to this fellow
every once in a while?

What about?

Sports. Politics.

One time, going down in the elevator.

He had this box of
mentholated cough drops.

He kept taking them out
and offering them to me.

Have a cough drop?

Go ahead. Have one.

No thanks. I don't like them.

Go on. They're good for you.

No thanks. Really.

You ought to try one.
Your voice sounds kind-of hoarse.

I took it because I felt kinda sorry for
him. I really hate those cough drops.

And you took a daiquiri too
because he suggested it.

Yeah.

Testing willpower, maybe?

You're trying to make something
out of this. What is it?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing that makes any sense yet.

You get some sleep kid, will you.

Where are you going?

I am going back to the Belknap house to
see if I can get some more information.

Now?

All the way back there at
this hour of the morning?

I don't know what I've got, if anything.

No more shortcuts.

I thought you'd never get here.

I was here early this morning.

Then I had to go back out there again.

Here. Have a look.

Well?

Who is it?

That's Britten. The man who
had the room next door to me.

Britten is also Lewis Belknap.

The murdered woman's husband.

Then was he the one who..?

There's no 'out' in this for you, Stan.

Not yet.

I checked your fingerprints with the
ones Warner got at the mirrored room.

You found your way
into the Belknap house.

You killed Bob Clune.

And shoved his body into a closet.

And Mrs Belknap?

You didn't kill her.

You can't drive.

We think Belknap drove you up there.

And was waiting for you outside.

Then Mrs Belknap ran out and her husband
in Clune's car purposely ran over her.

Why didn't I know what was
going on or what I was doing?

We think we know why.

But there is only one way to prove it.

To show it could have happened the first
time by making it happen all over again.

You mean, go back and go
through it all over again?

No, not exactly.

You killed a man, Stan.

Right now you are guilty.

What we have to do is prove that you
didn't know what you were doing.

And why you didn't know.

How? What do you mean?

We haven't any time to lose.

They located Belknap yesterday.

He wired Warner to have his wife
reburied in the family plot.

He will arrive in time for the funeral.

Get your coat on.

"I was scared sick."

"But I got back into that house before
Belknap returned from the funeral."

"A couple of friends
drove back with him."

"I waited upstairs."

"Looking down into the living-room
as they said goodbye."

Why don't you come and stay
at our place tonight, Lewis?

Yes. We'd like to have you.

Don't worry about me.
I will be fine here.

You're you won't come with us?

No. Thanks a lot. Goodnight.

"He was coming up."

"I wanted to leave but I had to stay.
It was my only chance to save myself."

How did you get here?

You showed me the way, didn't you?

You remember coming here?

You didn't think I would.

You couldn't have.

Then how did I get here? You explain it.

How long have you been here like this?

Since just before dark.

I got in while you were at the funeral.

Who did you bring with you?

Just this.

You remembered coming here?

You couldn't have. You had the look.

The typical look.
- Of a hypnotised subject?

I faked it.

No matter how good you think you are.

Then why did you do
everything I told you to?

When I dropped the knife in your hand
and told you what to do, you took it.

I figured maybe you would pay off.

Afterwards.

To keep me quiet.

And if I had tried to quit then.

I figured I'd have found
a knife in my back.

But what happened?

What went wrong in here?

I let you out of the car.
I told you what to do.

I dropped the knife
somewhere in the dark.

But I came up anyway.

Clune was stealing your dough and..

"About to run off with your wife."
- "Yes, yes."

"I could have been killed by Clune."

"But just by mistake your wife
put a weapon in my hand."

"And I had to use it to save myself."

"That explains why she
got out of the house."

"I finished her. With the car."

I should have known you
were not in control.

Oh no.

Your control was alright.

You still have the talent.

But you just said..
- Yes. And you fell for it.

I didn't know what I was
doing when I came up here.

And I never would have found you but
I saw your face in the newspapers.

As the husband of the murdered woman.

And I recognised you as Britten.

I didn't come back to be
paid off for what I did.

You couldn't make me murder.

I killed that man in self-defence.

But now, I'll never be able to clear
myself in the eyes of the law.

And you're going to pay
for doing that to me.

Now.

This way.
- No.

No. Wait. Don't do that.

I can do something for you.

I'll give you money.
I'll get you out of the country.

You should have left me alone.
- Wait.

Just one minute.

Just one minute.

To make you see.

Just sixty seconds.

You don't want to kill me.

Those two had plotted against
me for months. I knew it.

That's why I did what I did.
I had to do it.

"Can't you understand? I had to do it."

"You can understand that."

He has got him going.

Better get up there and
cover the front stairs.

If you'd suffered the indignities
from those two that I did..

You would have done the same thing.

Stop it.

Just a few seconds please.

You don't want to kill me.

Look up.

Look up.

Please.

See?

Just thirty seconds.

I am sure I can make you see.

Just a few seconds.

Shall I go up and take him?
- No, not yet.

We must let him put him under. We must
have proof for a jury that he can do it.

"Fifteen seconds."

"That's right. Look up."

Killing me won't quiet your conscience.

You don't want to shoot me.

Drop the gun.

It's too heavy.

Drop the gun.

Drop it, Grayson.

You are too tired to hold it up.

Just drop it.

You will feel so much better.

Just let go of it.

Better still. Give the
gun to me, Grayson.

You are tired.

That is better.

"That horrible curtain
closed over me again."

"I couldn't fight it."

Let's get up there.

Did he get past you?

Nobody came down those stairs.

Let's try the other rooms.

Captain Warner. Bressard.

There is a back stairway through here.

You had better split up.

If you see anything, yell.

You are guilty.

You killed Clune.

Give me your coat.

Get in the water.

There you will find peace.

Warner, Torrence. Over here.

He is a goner.

You alright now, kid?

Yeah.

All of a sudden I am alright.

Anything else, madam?

I think I'll have another order of duck.

"I saw the note he
tacked upon the door."

"He was nowhere to be found."

"That was the last.."

"I ever saw of my man."

Hiya, babe.

Rene.

I was so nervous I had to do
something while I waited.

So I ate. This is going
to cost a fortune.

For Junior, I can afford it.

Hurry up. Tell me.

What did the DA say?

I have to have a hearing.

With the evidence Rene gave them he says
I'll have no bother getting a dismissal.

Thank goodness.

You ought to be very
proud of your husband.

Oh, I will be.

When he pays this check.

Get your own.

"Don't tell me."

"The troubles you have now."

"Don't tell me."

"Please don't tell me."

"I've troubles enough of my own."

"If you've got a man
that you want to keep."

"I have nothing more than this to say."

"Keep one eye open
every time you sleep."

"Or your man will get away."

"And that's the last.."

"You'll ever see of your man."

"It was the very last time."

"I saw.."

"My man."

..r-o..
