All language subtitles for 082 - 06x13 - youth from vienna

The attacks began when three persons were

shot to death by police in a
series of unconnected incidents

earlier this week.

In today's press
conference, Chief Davis

blamed television news
reporters for sensationalizing

the recent police shootings.

He also blamed the
rumors of his resignation

on what he called "his
enemies" on the city council

and in the Mayor's office.

During the 30 minute
press conference,

Chief Nelson shouted his
angry answers at reporters

and pounded the
podium for emphasis.

Dick?

Humphrey.

I'm at the airport but
something's come up.

I can't make it for dinner,
but I'll be there later.

About 11:00, OK?

Good.

Turn it up.

Chief Nelson shouted

his angry answers at
reporters and pounded

the podium for emphasis.

His attacks on the city
council and the Mayor's office

is the newest outburst
in the longest simmering

political feud in the city.

This is Caroline Coates.

Now back to News Center 6.

Turn it off.

How long does it take
to get to Channel 6?

Why don't you ask
a cab driver, buddy?

Absolutely
brilliant suggestion.

Caroline Coates, please.

You can tell her it's a
matter of life or death.

My card.

Caroline?

There's a guy out here who wants
to see you about a small matter

of life of death.

No, I don't think
he's one of those.

His card says he's
Dr. Humphrey Baxter

from Johns Hopkins University.

Right.

She'll be out in a moment.

Thank you.

Oh, may I have my card back?

Thank you.

Dr. Baxter?

Yes.

I've been told I have
a very abrupt manner.

Even preemptory.

I find it saves a
great deal of time.

I see.

I never saw
you before an hour ago

at the airport on television.

I came straight here.

I don't think I
want to ask why.

Why?

It's really quite simple.

We're going to get married.

You really are a
nut case, aren't you?

Humphrey!

Get in here.

You should have let us
pick you up at the airport.

Ah, Dick.

Meeting people at airports
should be declared a crime.

A federal crime.

Stella's just in here.

Look who's here.

Nothing's wrong, is there?

I mean, your call
from the airport--

Oh, no, Stella.
Nothing's wrong.

Nothing's wrong.

And you look as
splendid as ever.

By the way, I have great news.

Vingleberg has accepted me.

In Vienna?

I got the word just
before I left Baltimore.

So I thought I'd come up here
and spend a month with you

two, and then fly
from here to Vienna.

That is, if it's all right
with the both of you?

All right?

Humphrey!

You've no idea what
you'll do for my position

with the faculty
wives pecking order.

Vingleberg.

There's a rumor going
around that he's

close to a breakthrough
on the aging process.

It's a bit more than a rumor.

So that's why he needs
a top endocrinologist.

Mm-hm.

And I have some more good news.

I'm going to get married.

- Humphrey!
- When?

To whom?

Soon, I hope.

Would you like to
meet the bride?

Well, of course.
When?

I think right about now.

Frank Nelson shouted to reporters that he

had no intention of retiring--

not today, not next
week, not ever.

TV cameras were barred from
today's press conference which

featured heated exchange--

Caroline Coates?

Do you know her?

Well, hardly.

You're talking to the shabby
professor and his wife.

We don't pal around
with those types.

How long have you known her?

About four hours, I'd say.

- And you're going to marry her?
- I am.

Does she know it?

She does.

You mean, she said yes?

Not yet.

But she hasn't said no either.

There are 28 balloons.

They symbolize the number
of days we have left

before we leave for Vienna.

Vienna?

Which I'm sure you'll love.

We'll remain there for one year
while I work with Vingleberg.

Vingleberg?

A noted scientist.

Today, my courtship
officially begins.

Shall we start with lunch?

Do I have a choice?

Almost none.

Mwah!

You're crazy, you know that?

Absolutely mad as a hatter.

Well, I'm a bit
ostentatious perhaps.

But since this is your last
day in the television industry,

why not?

I told them today that I
was quitting to get married.

Good.

And guess what they told me?

They told me that I could
either quit and get married

or I could have the anchor
spot on the 6 o'clock news.

So guess what I told them?

You would have
liked Vienna, I think.

I'm sure you would have.

Oh, Humphrey, it's
only for one year.

And you can fly back and see
me at least once or twice.

We can write.

We can phone each other.

We'll still be engaged.

Telephone, yes.
Write, of course.

But fly back?
Never.

Dr. Vingleberg would
never stand for that.

He's too close to
that breakthrough.

On his aging process, I know.

He's right.

And he always is.

I wouldn't get out
of that laboratory

unless they burn it down.

You won't change your mind?

Humphrey, I'm gonna
explain something to you,

and I want you to
listen very carefully.

Certainly.

Five years ago I was
a Nebraska farm girl

just out of business school.

Next week, I'm going to
be at $200,000 a year

anchorwoman on the best
station in the biggest

market in this country.

And it's not because
of my brilliant mind.

It's because all those
genes and those chromosomes

you're always talking about
make me look the way I do.

They're not paying for my
expertise on the common market.

They're paying for my
looks and my youth,

and I'm not going to
have them forever.

No, perhaps not.

But what's to become of us?

Us?

Come on, we're in love.

Very much so.

It's only gonna be one year.

And then after that, well,
after that, we'll have forever.

Then it's settled.

You look tired.

It's a long flight, isn't it?

From Vienna, it's 15 hours.

She here?

Dick's in his study.

Welcome back, Humph.

How was Vienna?
- Where is she, Dick?

I worried that
I'd meet her here.

I've been trying to
call her for a month,

but her phone's been
disconnected or something.

And somehow I keep
missing her at the studio.

Is she all right?

Caroline's fine.

It's just that--

Caroline has fallen in
love with a tennis star.

A tennis player?

Well, he's more
than just that.

He's Alan Brodie, the
national singles champion.

He's--

He's showbiz, Humph.

Just like Caroline.

She's not just a
pretty face you'll see

on the 6 o'clock news anymore.

She's a celebrity.

And so is Brodie.

They can't tie their
shoes without its

getting into the papers.

They're getting married
next month, I think.

Where are they now?

Caroline's moved into
his place out at Malibu.

What's the address?

You're not gonna do
anything foolish, are you?

Whatever gave you
that idea, Stella?

Caroline Coates, please.

I'm Humphrey Baxter.

They're expecting you.

They're down on the court.

Thank you.

- Hey, watch it!
- Sorry!

Yeah.

Save those for the game.

Not bad.

Humphrey!

Well, what do you think of us?

I think, yes.

I think you're
both very charming,

and I hope we'll all be friends.

There.

You see, darling.

What did I tell you?

Humphrey's the most sensible
man I've ever known.

She's told me a great
deal about you, doctor.

All of it flattering.

Humphrey, please.

Or Humph.

That's what all my
friends call me.

Come on.
Let's practice.

He's teaching me.

You know, I picked up a
newspaper the other day,

and there was a story in
it about a you and a Dr.

Vingle-something.

Vingleberg.
Yeah.

Vingleberg.

It was a pretty complicated
story, but the gist of it

seemed to be that
the two of you had

made some kind of breakthrough?

Discovered the fountain
of youth or something?

Nice one.

No, nothing so fantastic.

But it's made you famous, Humphrey.

Not as famous
as the two of you.

You both have youth and fame.

It's a heady mixture.

Yeah, well, I don't
know about the youth.

I've got a match next week
with a 17-year-old kid

who'll probably wipe
up the court with me.

But then, who
wants to be young forever?

I do!

Me!
Really?

Yes.

Well, those newspaper stories

weren't entirely accurate.

For one thing, they didn't
get Vingleberg enough credit.

But we did make a breakthrough.

A very complicated
and expensive one.

In fact, I brought you an
example of it as a present.

Caroline, I'd like you
to meet Methuselah.

He just had a birthday.

Turned five.

Aw, hi!

Five weeks?

No, five years.

I just brought him
back from Vienna.

You just displayed
instinctive prejudice.

Before long, the
world will have to get

used to this sort of thing.

Well, that's a freak cat
or a dwarf or something.

Oh, no, no, no.

He's perfectly normal
in every respect.

What'll happen to it?

Will it eventually explode
or crumble into dust or what?

Probably die of
a heart attack.

But after 40 years
of glorious youth,

which is 280 years
in human terms.

Will your stuff
work on humans?

Yes, theoretically.

Well, it's more than
theoretical, if you

want to be absolutely accurate.

You see-- I can't say anything
else unless I can swear

you both to absolute secrecy.

We won't say a word.

Never.

All right.

We did make a breakthrough,
Vingleberg and I.

Mostly Vingleberg, of course.

Unfortunately, the
source of the serum

dies once the
serum is extracted.

What's the source?

Man himself.

People?

Die, you mean?

They were volunteers.

But the big breakthrough is
that we're absolutely certain we

have a synthetic source.

Unfortunately, it took years and
millions of dollars to develop.

But you did make some of it.

We made it only three
times, under circumstances

about which I will tell
you absolutely nothing.

- Three?
- Yes.

I took one dose.

You did?

Yes, me.

Well, I helped discover
it so I took it.

Vingleberg took one.

He's 68 and as ugly as a monkey.

He's going to remain 68
and ugly for 200 years.

It stops aging completely?

Mm-hm.

Yes.

What about the other dose?

You said there were three.

The-- the third one I brought
back with me from Vienna.

Caroline, I needn't
tell you why.

This is life, youth, and
love for nearly 200 years.

It's for you.

Rather, it's for both of you.

You could call it sort
of a wedding present.

But you must swear-- you must
solemnly swear, both of you--

not to mention a word.

Do you swear?

I do.

I do.

Rather like a wedding
ceremony, isn't it?

We'll each take half.

100 years each.

No, no, you can't do that.

Your body does not
understand mathematics.

Half a dose could cause
deformation, even death.

Now, what I gave you was
one dose, and one dose only.

It's to be taken
orally, at a gulp.

The taste is not unpleasant.

It's very safe unless
you fool around with it.

And then it's dynamite.

Just keep it as a curiosity.

It's not very pretty,
but it is unique.

Well, I've got to go
now, so congratulations.

My very best wishes for a long
and a very very happy life.

Goodbye.

I want you to take
this, right now.

Right away.
- No, no, Darling.

I want you to take it.
It's for you.

Please.

You're the athlete.

Think of your game.

You mean there's something
wrong with my game?

No, of course not.

Your game's holding
up beautifully.

Everyone says so.
- Holding up.

The kiss of death.

Darling, I don't want to see you get

old and sick and ugly and die.

I die rather than
have that happen.

That's just how I feel.

Would you still love
me even if I grew old?

Sure I would.

And that's the
good and the bad of it, folks.

We'll continue our series
tomorrow at the same time.

Until then, this is Pat
Ward, channel 10 news.

So what do you think
of our new co-anchor?

Well, she's a little young.

That's what the ad agencies
are buying this year.

Youth.

Youth.

Well, she looked good.

You'll meet her next week.

Listen, by the way, could
you go to see Jan in make up?

She has an idea about your hair.

Sort of pull it
back or something.

She swears it'll take a
couple of years off you.

Sure Sure.
I can do that.

Go see Jan.

Darling?

I left him.

The tennis player?

Yes.

Well, these things happen.

Come in.

It's all your fault, Humphrey.

Yes.

Yes, I would imagine.

Sit down.

It's that stuff you gave use.

That stupid serum.

I suppose that means
that you drank it.

Yes, I drank it.

Behind his back.

What did he say
when you told him?

I didn't tell him.

How do you tell somebody
that he's going to grow

old while you're staying young?

I just drank it.

Then I filled the
thing up with water,

and I threw a little
quinine in it.

Why the quinine?

Well, to give it that bitter taste that it has.

I see.

Go on.

Well, then I
started watching him.

Watching him grow old, I guess.

And then I started
noticing things, you know?

Like what?

I don't know.

Just stuff I didn't
like about him.

And then I suddenly
just stopped loving him.

If, in fact, I ever did.

It's very difficult being immortal.

There's only three of us.

You, me, and old Vingleberg.

Just us three in all the world.

I let you down, Humphrey.

Yes, perhaps.

But we could try
again, can't we?

By the way, you're quite
sure it tasted bitter?

Yes, it was very bitter.

No mistake about that?

No.

That's strange.

You see, when I first filled
the bottle, I used tap water

and salt. For taste, you know?

So clearly someone else drank it
and substituted something else,

which you drank.
