- Mr. Patterson?
- Yes.

I'm Weber, the house Proctor.

In 22 years I've
forgotten how cold it

gets up here in the morning.

Fire in the library, Mr. Patterson.
You remember the way.

- Oh yes, I do.
- If you'll excuse me.

- Andy?
- Hello Chad.

Your hands are cold.

What about some tea?

No, no, no, no thanks.

It's a wild Idea. Initiation
at sunrise, isn't it?

Not so wild.

The early brothers sailed on the dawn
tide. They were tough birds in those days.

You're tougher than you
give yourself credit for.

Sunrise in a few
minutes gentlemen.

Mr. Patterson

Philip Evers Dunning

Mr. Chad Harmon.

Mr. Dunning.

The Articles and letters
of the Brotherhood...

Do you swear

that having been entrusted

with these articles and
letters since midnight,

this night, that you
alone read them

and did not
communicate their content

to any person whatsoever?

I so swear.

Having so sworn,

are you now prepared
to go forward?

I'm prepared.

Mister Dunning.

For over 200 years.

Brothers of the Bell have
been initiated before this bell

and in the same ceremony

at sunrise.

Twenty two years ago
Mr. Patterson stood

due East, in your place

and I became his senior,

as Mr. Patterson

is now yours.

One day Mr. Patterson will stand

due South.

And he will induct
a Brother of the Bell

and you will become senior.

So, in this fashion
does the Brotherhood

express its continuity.

It will continue long
after all of us are dead.

But that continuity depends

upon one thing:

obedience.

Absolute obedience.

If and when you
are ever called upon

by Mr. Patterson
to pay your due bill

you must comply.

Whatever is asked of you.

Well, that bill may
come due tomorrow.

In twenty years, or never.

It will not be a
matter of money.

It will be an act of fealty;

of loyalty to the
Brotherhood of the Bell.

Now if you require
anything at all

get in touch with your senior

and he will see to it

that it's arranged for you.

Are you ready for the oath?

I am.

The oath gentlemen.

I...

do swear

in absolute faith

that I shall reveal no secret

of the Brotherhood of the Bell,

that I shall respect
my brothers as myself,

that I will act as they desire,

securing their interests,
as if they were my own.

And I pledge this
my honor, my fortune

and my life.

Andy.

Are you spending the
day in San Francisco?

Oh no. I have to make
the afternoon flight home.

It's a pity really. I thought
we might have lunch together.

Oh, by the way, drop in at
this address before you leave.

Oh, excuse me!

It's going to take
some getting used to.

What?

I mean, being a brother.

Well, you have my home
and office number don't you?

You know I still
find it incredible

that I could get
anything I want.

Anything a man could
get with... money,

privilege and the
best connections.

You know, it just
occurred to me that

we're part of the
establishment now.

Not part.

The establishment.

My name is Patterson.
I believe I'm expected.

You have a card?

A card?

This address was
written on the back of it.

Oh yes.

An assignment
from the Bell for you.

This has materials
which will assist you

in the completion
of that assignment.

Open it anytime one
hour after you've left here.

Andy,

I'm delighted you could have
lunch with me before leaving.

Sit down.

Would you a drink
before lunch, sir?

- No thank you.
- Have a margarita!

Paul does it very well.

On second thought,
perhaps a straight scotch.

No, thank you.

We're having seafood today.

A small salad with
lemon and olive dressing?

Yes, I'll have that. Thank you.

Andy. Calm, calm now.

Do you know what
my assignment is?

No.

Mr. Patterson,

it will be your
responsibility to see that

Dr. Konstantin Horvathy
declines the position of Dean

of the College of Linguistics
that has been offered to him.

The Bell must want that
post for someone else.

Well, I understand that.

Then why the frantic phone call?

I thought from your
manner that the Bell has,

has asked you to
murder someone.

They have.

The Bell has given me
this file on Dr. Horvathy.

It contains the names,
addresses and descriptions

of every person that assisted
him to defect two years ago.

This file is the death sentence
for over 30 human beings

if I send it to his
country's embassy.

I presume Dr. Horvathy will
see that as quickly as you,

so you needn't, you
needn't use the dossier at all.

Do you think I could send it

if he refused to
step down? Do you?

Andy, your presence
at the initiation

this morning was no accident.

It was a reminder of
your vow of obedience.

So, if it comes to
that, you will, yes.

But why look at the worst of it?

Do you know Dr. Horvathy well?

Yes. Vivian and I were
among his first friends

when he came to
work at the Institute.

Well then put it on
a personal basis.

Persuade him that it would be in
his best interest to stay where he is.

The climate is good.

The institute is congenial.
He likes his associates there.

Stress all of the
positive attributes, Andy.

But what uh, what
happens if he gets kind

of curious and says why
are you so interested?

What do I tell him then?

This discussion is
becoming burdensome.

You have already
broken one of our rules

by discussing this
assignment with me.

But I will pass that, now.

You were given an
assignment and the means.

Do it Andrew. Do
it and be grateful

more isn't asked of you.

Andy, I'm in the kitchen!

Yes darling...

Oh, I don't know...

Did I tell you about
the new tennis trophy?

Hideous!

Hi Darling. How was your trip?

Listen dad, Andy just arrived
and looks hungry. Okay.

Yes I will. Goodnight dear.

Hi. Hey darling.

Listen. I'm going to go wash up
and then I'll have something to eat.

Ah don't be silly. Wash here and

tell me all about
your old school.

All right.

Voila!

That's fancy.

Leftovers from this
afternoon's bridge game.

Well, how was the old St George?

The same.

Ooo! I know what I
forgot to show you!

I got the sketches for
the new tennis trophy.

Professor Horvathy, please.

When did he leave?

No. There's, there
is no message.

No no. Just thank you very much.

Andy. I can't find them.

Hey listen. I gotta go
to a briefing tonight.

Something about
micro graphics or...

Oh, you're kidding!

Jerry Fielder would like
a full turn out, seeing as

you know, I'm senior staff
member. I should have to...

- I'll go put on my faculty wife uniform.
- Well honey, you don't have to go.

I know what the
other wifes think of me

and I think I just may show
up tonight and shock them.

- Hi.
- Good evening.

Konstantin, I'm
so glad to see you.

- My pleasure.
- Konstantin. Can I speak to you for a minute?

You guys going to
come back in time?

Yes. We'll be right
back. Excuse us.

I am going to miss
you all, terribly.

So, why leave?

Yeah. Why leave?

Andy, you're a good
friend, a dear friend.

You know, for a man of my age,

an European,

it is almost impossible to
make a new friend, seriously.

That is why I prize you so much.

You know, you
have told me at least

a dozen times how much you like
the Institute, you like the climate,

you like the staff,
the surroundings.

Please, Andy.

I mean, you're not
going to like it back East.

It's not like you're, you
know, trying to prove anything.

I mean, you're an established
figure in Linguistics.

There is nothing
you have said that I

haven't said to myself
a thousand times.

Horvarthy, I said,

you are an old fool.
How many times have

the roots of your
life been torn up?

In the 20s, depression,

unrest, revolution.

In the 30s,

Fascists, Nazis.

In the 40s, the war.

In the 50s,

the Communists.

Well, let's go back.

Konstantine. Listen to me.

As a vital, personal
favor to me,

- pass up your appointment.
- What?

Pass it up.

I promise you'll have a
more important opportunity.

Do you realize
what you are saying?

There is nothing more important.

Please, I beg you.

Why does it matter
to you so much?

Why are you begging?

I can't, I can't tell you.

Please, on faith.

Please trust me.

No.

Reasons. Reasons!

You have given me no reason yet.

Where did you get this?

If you fail to turn
down that appointment

that list will be sent to
people who will use it.

Do you realize
what you are saying?

These are men and
women who will be shot.

They will be taken to dungeons
under the police stations

tortured,

killed.

I'm not going to use it.

But there are those that will.

Who are you?

How much do they
pay you for this?

How could they pay you?

You don't understand.
Please, please don't

make up your mind
right now. Think about it.

Andy, they're starting.

What's wrong?

Are you alright?

Yes.

You sure?

- The Fielders are expecting to have dinner with us.
- You go along with them.

I can't.

You saw Dr. Horvathy.
Was he in good spirits?

Oh mister, I don't know...

The poor man's entire
family was murdered in a

concentration camp. He didn't
have anybody in the world.

What is it? What happened?

He wouldn't tell me
anything until you came down.

We were told that you
knew Dr. Horvathy very well.

What do you mean "knew him"?

He was found dead this morning.

What happened?

You spoke to Dr. Horvathy
last night, didn't you?

Yes, I uh, yes.

- What did you talk about?
- Wait, wait.

- We talked about his leaving, his...
- Did he look forward to that job?

- Yes.
- Did he complain of bad health?

Ah, he didn't... I never knew
a man that complained less

about anything in my life.

- He had no enemies that you know of?
- Of course he had enemies. He was...

very outspoken politically. Political
enemies? You mean in Europe?

He was a very brave man.

- Is that all?
- Yes. Thank you Professor Patterson.

Have you any idea why?

He left a note.

I have no place left to go.
It is too late to start again.

I can't believe it.

I can show you the
file they sent me.

I know. I don't
mean I doubt you. I...

I just can't believe
that you could keep

- a secret like that for so long.
- I had no reason to tell you until now.

Now I'm a murderer.

Oh Andy, please don't
say that. Don't, please.

Well, I'm going
to tell the police.

Tell them what?

- About the Bell? About your membership?
- No, I'm gonna tell them what I told you.

You can't do that.

You said they had a
rule about keeping silent.

I don't know what you
should do anymore.

You've thrown so much at me.

- I really wish...
- You wish your father were here, don't you?

I didn't say that.

That isn't what you said,
but that's what you meant.

If that's meant to be sarcasm,
then just remember that,

you lied to me for 12 years,

by omission, if nothing else.

Listen Andy. Dad
is no child. He's

a man of wide experience and...

you respect him don't you?

- I know he respects you.
- Look, what do you want me to do?

Tell him what you told me.

If you don't like his advice

just do what you think is best.

I have as much
a stake as you do.

Harry... I got to talk
to you. Vivian alright?

No, she's fine, she's fine.

Why don't you
walk around with us?

No. Not now.

Okay.

Sorry gentlemen,
you'll have to forgive me.

Next week perhaps?

- Now what is it, health, money? Not a divorce.
- No, none of those.

Then it can't be
anything too serious.

What did you do
with those papers?

Well, I have them
right here with me.

I'm going to turn
them over to the police.

Look, if this fraternity
is as big and important

as you say -and I'm not
doubting that, believe me-

wouldn't you do better to
go to the federal government?

I mean, rather than some
local police department.

I have a friend in the
Federal Security Service.

Hmm. No, I haven't
thought about that.

No, but you're right.

I have a good idea
from time to time.

Listen, Harry.

I gotta tell you something.
I know that in the past...

Vivien is the
baby in our family.

I expect she'll go on turning

to me when the
pressure's on, as she

has done since the
day her mother died.

But I don't want
to get in your way.

Truly, I never have wanted that.

You see, I don't blame
you for not trusting me.

Because I haven't really been

completely truthful
about the Bell.

But you see, now
she's got to share

in all the results,
whatever happens.

What will happen?

I don't know.

I know the Brothers of
the Bell will punish me.

See, they have unlimited powers.

Forgive me Andy. I
don't think unlimited

powers are so easy
to use these days,

not by governments
or organisations.

But, you wait here.
I'll go call my friend.

Oh, ask him if I can
see him this afternoon.

I'll ask.

Thad! My son in law,
Andrew Patterson.

Andy, Thaddeus Burns.

How do you do?

Well, Washington doesn't
waste money on office decor.

This is a cover office.

After we go, no one
knows why we came here.

Sit down professor. Harry?

Tell me about this secret
society you belong to.

Well.

They uh, call themselves the.

"Brothers of the Bell,"
so I was recruited

when I was a
senior at St. George.

It's a very old organization.

Must be oh, I think
about 200 years old.

Founded in Massachusetts.

In Massachusetts
Bay Colony to be exact.

The two founders were Jonathan
Bridger and Taylor Hatching.

You know about it?

Would you excuse us Harry?

Shall I wait?

Listen Harry I want to thank you
for everything you've done.

Anything I can do to
help. Anything at all.

Thanks a lot.

Sit down.

What did the Bell
have to do with.

Konstantine Horvathy's death?

You know about that?

We know they wanted
that job for a brother.

Horvathy had to be
forced to withdraw.

No, I blackmailed him.

How?

With this list.

Who gave it to you?

I don't know. I never
saw him before in my life.

You were simply told
to go to an address.

Yes.

And there you were given

two envelopes, one
containing your assignment

and the other, the means
of executing that assignment.

Yes.

Organizations as old as the Bell

develop patterns.

Then Horvathy's
death, was suicide.

Was murder.

And I was responsible.

We don't deal with
moral judgment, professor.

Technically, you could
be charged with blackmail,

unlawful possession of
government documents,

conspiracy,
criminal syndicalism.

But I don't think
my office will make

any recomendation to the
attorney general in your case.

Look, I don't
understand.

If you, if you have the Bell
under investigation, you...

We'll recommend indictments,

when we have a solid
case against them.

Stuff like this.

And a deposition from
you will get us there.

In time.

I'm going to ask you
to, go home professor.

Continue your normal affairs.

We'll be in touch with you to
get your deposition.

But, until we.
Instruct you otherwise,

say nothing,

do nothing,

publicly or privately.

Or you'll compromise
our investigation.

Do you understand?

Yes. Yes, I understand.

Professor, if it's
any comfort to you,

if this list hadn't
stopped Horvathy,

the bell would have
stopped him more painfully.

No one told me you were
going to paint my office.

Didn't know about it myself
till last night, professor.

For Pete's sake!

Hello Marge. Marge,
where's my secretary?

Uh, she's on vacation, sir.

Jerry!

Excuse me.

Look Jerry, I'm a senior...

I'm a senior member
of the department

and I'm unaccustomed
to having my secretary

sent on vacation
and my office closed

without my knowledge
and permission.

Well, I'll get you another
girl and another office.

That's not the point. What
about my, my papers, my files?

Andy, ask me anything.

Don't ask me to fight painting
schedules. Take the week off!

Andy, what are you doing home?

Excuse me.

Andy what's the matter?

What are they doing out there?

Keep your voice down.

They're the committee
for the junior league ball.

Are you serious?
We do it every year.

I don't understand you.

I really don't understand you.

There's a
man dead just two days.

He's dead because I
killed him and you're out

there worrying about who's going to sit
next to us at some silly country club dance.

What else do you want me to do?

I sure don't expect
us to go on living

the empty life we have
been living, that's for sure.

You went to the
Institute to work today.

I went there because I wanted to get

out of the house and not think!

Oh, I see. You want
me to sit here and think.

What do you want me to do?

I've known these
people all my life.

You want me to go in
there and tell them why

I can't pay attention
to the Junior League?

Darling.

Professor Horvathy
was a dear, sweet

man and I'm sorry he's dead.

But I can't accept the
idea that it was your fault.

And I won't accept the idea that it
was mine. Look, I know it's not your fault.

I know that.

I guess I can't expect
you to,

not go on living your life
the way you always have,

but I can't.

Don't you see? I, I just can't.

Excuse me.

- Do you have the. Federal Security office on this...?
- No, on the first floor.

I just don't have an
agent by the name

of Thaddeus
Burns in this office.

I don't understand
that. I spoke to him here.

When you say here, what exactly

do you mean?
Was it on this floor?

No. It was on the third floor.

But it was in this building.

Did you go through a
receptionist to get here?

No. No I didn't. It was
what they call a cover office.

What kind of office?

A cover office.

An office you use when
you want to talk to people

who don't want to be seen coming into
government buildings.

So when we use offices
like that,

we don't put them in federal buildings
and we don't call them cover offices.

This is my ID card.
Now this identifies me

as a special agent for
the federal government.

- Did he show you a card like this?
- No, he didn't.

What makes you
think he was an agent?

My father-in-law told me he was.

He introduced him to me
as though he were an agent.

I talked to him
as though he were an agent.

Who's your father-in-law.

Harry Masters.

Maybe you know him. He's President
of the Pacific Realty Investments.

Excuse me.

Could you get me
a hold of a Mr. Harry Masters

of Pacific Realty Investments?

Right. Thank you.

You don't doubt me do you?

No. No, you could have
the wrong name though.

Could you describe him for me?

Well, let's see. What I
remember, he was,

I think he was six feet tall,

I think he had brown eyes.

Sort of, you know,
kind of stocky like

and very authoritative manner.

That's about all I can
remember. I'm sorry.

Yes Mr. Masters.
This is agent Shepherd

of the Federal Security Service.

I have a gentleman
in my office here

by the name of Andrew Patterson.

And Mr. Patterson
tells me that you brought

him here to see an agent by
the name of Thaddeus Burns.

Mr. Shepherd,
my son-in-law

has been terribly upset over
the death of a colleague of his.

Yes. I see.

Yes.

Thank you very much. I don't think it
would be necessary for you to come by here.

I think you've helped
us a great deal.

Thank you.

- Professor Patterson?
- Yes.

Have you ever heard the
name, Professor Horvathy?

He was one of my
very, very best friends

and I was responsible
for his death.

Sir, do you mind if I,

suggest that you just go on
home and forget all about this?

Forget?

There is no Thaddeus
Burns and we have no record

of your ever having
even been in this building.

What did my father-in-law
say to you on the phone?

He said that you're under
considerable emotional stress lately

and he thought you could
use some rest and relaxation.

I see.

- Is Mr. Masters here?
- He's in the workroom but not alone professor...

Will you kindly tell me what
the hell you told Shepherd?

Hello Andy. Want a drink?

No, I don't want a drink.

Doctor, this is my son in
law, Professor Patterson.

- Dr. Louis Bauier.
- Glad to know you, Professor.

What did you tell Shepherd?

We've been talking
about you, son.

You wouldn't be a
psychiatrist, now would you?

As a matter of fact, I am. Well, I
can save you the time and trouble.

I'm not insane. No one
suggested that you were.

What did you tell Shepherd?

I told him nothing more
than I've told you already.

That I considered the
story bizarre and wild.

I also said that I
thought you needed rest.

Perhaps psychiatric care...

But you didn't tell him that
the agent you took me to see

did not find the story bizarre.

As a matter of fact he took the
file I had to use as evidence.

Andy.

I thought you'd understood
from Mr. Shepard

that there was no
agent named Burns.

You did confirm that much.

Didn't you, Professor?

Who's the man
you took me to see?

I never took you to see any man.

You're a damn liar, Harry!

Are you crazy?

We're in the middle of a game.

Your father took me to the federal
building in Los Angeles

to meet an agent
named Thaddeus Burns.

Now we talked for
about 20 minutes.

I gave him the file I had along

with my instructions from the
Bell.

You already told me that.

Your father now flatly and
absolutely denies he ever took me

in to any federal
Building in Los Angeles

or that he ever knew any agent

by the name of Thaddeus Burns.

- What?
- He didn't lie only to me!

He lied to the agent
I went to see later on!

Andy, I don't understand.
What do you want?

I said your father lied!

- Why should he?
- I don't know yet.

Either he's a
Brother of the Bell

or he's under their
control.

But he lied.

You want to know who I believe?

Yeah.

That's about it.

Andy, you're my husband.
I have to believe you.

That's not part of the
wedding ceremony.

You're being impossible. I said I
believed you. What more do you want?

Maybe I want a little
more conviction. Right?

Seventy two hours
ago you opened a secret

part of your life and
told me a wild story.

Ever since then, it's been
one thing after another.

Now you call my father a liar,

and you accuse him of
being part of a conspiracy.

Alright, maybe he is.

Andy, you've got to give
me a chance to adjust myself.

I can't make instant changes
in the way I think and feel.

Time. That's all I ask.

Yes

Jerry, this is Andy.

I can't talk to you
now. I'm swamped.

Listen Jerry, I have
kind of a problem.

I'd like to discuss it with you.

I'm gonna have to cut you off.

I have a desperate
situation here.

C'mon, get me off the
box and pick up the phone!

I'm in trouble, I
want to talk to you!

I'm sorry Andy we've been
going very hot and heavy here

but I'm not going to be able
to talk to you until tomorrow.

Now I have to be firm
about that. That's rock firm.

In the morning.

Late morning. And
practice being brief.

I'm sorry I don't mean
to be short with you Andy.

Kiss Viviane for me.

That doesn't sound
like Jerry at all.

Honey, there's
something going on.

I don't know what it is.

Something's happening.

Something...

You know, it's like fog that goes around
the corner in the middle of the night.

You know it's
there but you can't...

You can't see it.

Something strange is happening, Viviane.

Something... very strange.

I'm sorry that I was so
abrupt last night Andy.

We were on the
panic button here.

Panic?

The fact is, I was being
evasive because I was stalling

in the hope that the
news would be better.

What are you talking about?

The Ewing Foundation has taken

a brutal 20% cut in our funds.

Who's going?

They insisted that we let
your department go first.

That's a bit of an
overkill isn't it,

considering that I'm the
only one they're out to get.

My dear Andy. A normal
amount of vanity is essential.

I think you're
going a little bit far.

Trustees of the
foundation unfortunately

are very often arbitrary but.

I don't think for
one minute that

they cut our
budget to get rid of.

Professor Andrew Patterson.

Oh that's what you like the
world to believe, but I know better.

Oh, I think they'd
dismiss 41 people

to cover my dismissal.

You're being honest, aren't you?

You honestly believe that the
foundation is out to get rid of you.

You see, I'm not
guessing here anymore.

I know.

The question now is,
how deeply are you involved?

Are you a Brother of the Bell?

What?

What college did you attend?

I've heard of non sequiturs...
No, no. Just answer my questions.

Did you attend the
College of Saint George?

I've attended over
six colleges Andy,

as an undergraduate and as a
post- graduate, both here and abroad.

I think you'll find those
academic affiliations in my

biography and any recent
edition of Who's Who.

I don't think that you'll find the
name of Saint George on the list.

I don't care what it
says in Who's Who.

I think You're lying.

I think you're just as guilty of
Dr. Horvathy's death as I am.

Andy. I talked to
your father-in-law and

he told me about your feelings.

- I think... May I recommend...
- A good psychiatrist?

How many does it take
to have me committed?

One? Two?

Well I'm not about
to let that happen.

Why are 41 innocent men and
women being punished along with me?

- What about some hot chocolate Andy?
- Do you realize you destroyed their...

their lives, their
homes, their friendships?

It's really quite good.

Is the Bell so callous
that it really doesn't care?

Now people generally,

generally find a way of mending
their lives one way or another.

It really doesn't matter
to the Bell does it?

Well, I resign from the Bell.

No Andy. You had
your option 22 years ago

and you elected to come
in. We accepted you.

Granted you all the
benefits of the Brotherhood.

Benefits! I never
asked for anything.

Are you truly ignorant of
what the Bell has done for you?

- You know that first bid from your father.
- What about it?

- A little piece of the big highway.
- Yeah.

- Won by a small contractor.
- That's right, that's right.

- The start of Patterson Engineering International.
- Yes?

The Bell gave your
father that contract. Yes.

In 22 years your father has
become a multi-millionaire.

Thanks to the Bell.

In 22 years, Mike
Patterson company

has never lost a bid,
a contract, a negotiation.

You think that
was all good luck,

just brilliance on his part?

And you Andy, you have
received every option,

every Fellowship,

every post you've ever wanted.

- I competed for them.
- If you prefer to believe that.

Look, I know what
I earned myself.

I know what I owe the Bell,
what I don't owe the Bell.

Believe me Andy.

You have never
competed, for one thing.

In the past 22 years,

since you first took
the oath at sunrise.

I paid my due bill.

Konstantine Horvathy's not
going to accept the appointment.

That was my bill and I paid it.

But you did break
the silence, didn't you?

Well I'm giving the
Bell fair warning.

If they try to harm
me or my family,

I'll break the silence so hard

it'll be heard halfway
around the world.

No Andy. You won't be
speaking louder and louder.

In fact, I am certain
we shall be hearing

less and less from
you, as time goes on.

- Is my father in?
- Yes, Mr. Patterson.

You're telling me that I
didn't build this company?

You remember what you told me
when you sent me off to college?

Know the right people and you
can go anywhere,

and the right people send
their sons to St. George?

Well, that was
only an expression.

No, you were right.

And you are absolutely
right, because that is the place

where you join the Bell and the.
Bell made you a millionaire.

Well, this generation
gap is too much for me.

I'm accustomed to kids who
hate the world they didn't make

but you're telling me that I
didn't make it?

That you had it made for me

as if I was some sort of a zombie,

or if I were the son
and you were the father?

Look, I don't mean
to put you down

or demean the work
you put into this firm

but the Bell made this family rich
and the Bell's out to destroy me!

You don't believe me do you?

Oh come off it, Andy.

Have I ever doubted
your honesty?

Your sanity perhaps, but you
wouldn't lie to your old man,

unless you were crazy.

Are you?

Do I look it?

No. No you don't.

But, you're putting a
powerful strain on my mind.

Well you've heard of insiders
dealing with each other, haven't you?

Sure I have,

and I've seen it.

Can you imagine

the amount of smug,

self-satisfied

fat cat feelings they must enjoy

to have the Gaul to
tell us what to do?

Well, I'll see them in Hell

before I let them
get away with this!

What are you going to do?

I've helped in the election of a couple
of congressmen and a Senator or two.

They'll find it out.

Now wait a minute! You won't
know who you're talking to.

Now, I haven't figured
out yet how to fight them

but I know I can't
play their game.

All that behind-the-scenes
influence.

You, you see, it's
just too powerful.

But believe me, I'm
going to fight them.

And I'd like you to,

to stand by and be my reserve.

I suppose that's the
polite way to tell me

not to stick my
nose into it, mmm?

Would I let my
Irish carry me away?

My flesh?

My blood?

My fight?

Yes.

But let me start.

If I need help,
I'll call on you.

If you need help,
you call on me.

But don't try to
fight them alone.

Cause, I know them
better than you do.

There is an existence
in this country,

a secret organization known
as the Brotherhood of the Bell.

I was a member of that
Organization for 22 years.

And as a member,

I was ordered to blackmail
Professor Konstantine Horvathy.

An act, which I'm,

I'm ashamed to say I committed.

Now as the result of that
blackmail, Professor Horvathy

committed suicide.

So you see, I was really an
accessory to the crime of murder.

I, I accuse my accomplices,

Chad Harmon of San Francisco,

and the Brothers of the Bell.

Alright, standby. Coming
up on two in two seconds.

One, two. Take it to Harold!

Professor Patterson
would offer no names

except his own, and
financier Chad Harmon.

District Attorney Avery
Hazelton was interviewed

by Ed Larksburg of
the 6 oclock news.

If the blackmail took
place and Dr. Horvathy's

death was the result
of such blackmail,

we'll present the
facts to the grand

jury and make a
suitable indictment.

But you have Professor
Patterson's own confession.

I've been a police officer and.
District Attorney for many years.

Lots of people confess to crimes

of which they're not guilty.

Then are you suggesting
that Professor Patterson

is not responsible for
what he's saying?

All I'm saying is, the existence

of a super secret organization,

the kind of white
Anglo-Saxon Protestant Mafia

of rich, influential men, is
a bit lurid for my taste.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco,

financier Chad. Harmon,

named by Professor Patterson

as co-conspirator in the
alledged secret society

was asked about
his alleged connection

in the Brothers of the Bell.

But you did attend the
College of St. George?

Sure. Forty years
ago, one semester.

And I am a member of
Beta Epsilon Lambda.

And, I have been on the show
called Secret Chamber of the Bell.

Now this is a room that
contains some priceless antiques.

You see, St. George is, is
one of eighteen chapters.

And I don't know really
what the total membership is.

40,000 members nationally.

Well, anytime 40,000 people
can keep a secret for 22 years,

I would consider that something
of a miracle, wouldn't you?

Professor Patterson does not say

that all members of the
fraternity are brothers of the Bell.

He claims the Brotherhood
is a very small highly selective

secret organization of which
you and he are members.

Well, it must be terribly secret

because I wasn't even
aware that I was a member.

Professor Patterson claims that you accompanied
him to the Federal Security Service.

I did not. The government
will confirm that.

I believe they already have.

What did you do
when you heard your

son-in-law's account of
the conspiracy of the Bell?

I consulted with a
reputable psychiatrist...

Well, at least that
part of it is true.

How many times
did the police say

to let it ring before
we answer it?

Four times.

Gives the police a
chance to monitor the call.

Hello?

Oh, Hi Dad!

He's fine.

Yes he is. You want
to talk to him? Hold on...

I don't want to
speak to your father.

It's your father.

Hello?

You're friends appear to
have started work on me.

At least they are trying.

Trying what?

I'm up to my neck in
accountants, lawyers,

Internal Revenue agents.

There's considerable talk around
here about income tax fraud,

Federal
grand jury indictment.

...

What?

We were conducted in a routine

audit when all of a sudden
the IRS accountant seemed

to have found some invoices
that we've never seen.

If something prevents us from saying they
are false, it’s because there is no reason

to make them up.

The Bell has a reason.
It has a good reason.

...and I will not back away
and I'm not asking for help...

yours or anyone else's.

What you going to do?

Let me handle this son.

Maybe they won't be
bothering either one of us

when I get finished.

Mike! What are you doing here?

Harry, would you do me
a favor

and see that we
aren't disturbed?

Will you lock that door now?

Harry, let me tell
you something.

I don't call press
conferences, like my son.

I've had men crowd me
before when I was a ditch digger

and I used my fists and I'm
not above using them now!

What's wrong with
you! Are you crazy?

Don't misunderstand me Harry.
I'm not talking about a beatin'.

I'm talking about a killin'!

With my two hands, Harry!

You see, I believe
my son. There is a Bell,

or whatever you call
your little boy's club!

It doesn't exist!

You are going to get on that
phone and call your buddies

and tell them to call it off
now! Do you hear now?

I can't!

You see I, I can
beat you to death

and I'm going to unless
you make that call!

I'm Andrew Patterson.
How's my father?

I was telling Mr. Masters
here... Tell me!

Your father's had a stroke.

Technically, a
cerebral hemorrhage.

How bad?

He's comatose, Mr. Patterson.

He wouldn't recognize you, but
if you want to see him, wait here.

What happened dad?

I don't think Andy
wants to know.

Of course, he does.

Do you?

Well, I can guess.

He came to get the
Bell off our backs!

I blame you for this Andy.

Your neurosis brought him to this.

You get out of here.

You get out of here now!

Whatever you may think Andy,
I didn't want this to happen.

Truly, I hope he recovers.

Call me if you want me.

Mr. Patterson?

Just Mr. Patterson, please.

Hello!

Oh, Hello Andy. How is he?

Well, there's no change.

They don't know when
he's coming out of the coma.

If he does.

You sound exhausted.

Well, its... It's just that I,

I feel so responsible
for what's happened.

Darling, please
don't talk like that.

Do you want me to
come back to the hospital?

No Vivian. I'd like
to be alone with him.

I know it sounds like
I'm, I'm shutting you...

Don't explain to
me. I understand.

Just stay with him.

What's up? What happened?

Nothing darling. The light
just burned out in the kitchen.

I was a little surprised.

I feel a little foolish
standing here in the dark.

Well you're not alone are you?

This isn't Marcus' night off?

Darling, please don't
fuss! I'm perfectly alright.

I have neighbors on both sides

and I'm a grown woman
and I, I don't frighten easily.

Stay with him.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

We all will, alright?

Okay. Bye bye.

I'm Andrew Patterson.

Are you all right?

Did you identify the
man? Who is he?

Baxter! Mr. Baxter.

Baxter? You mean
our next door neighbor?

Evidently your neighbor thought
there was a prowler in the house.

I was using a flashlight
when the lights went out.

You remember. I was I was talking
to you on the phone when it got...

Oh my God! I didn't kill him!

That was one of those mix-ups.

Goos thing it didn't
turn out any worse.

Are you satisfied
with Baxter's story?

Of course it happened that way!

Now let me ask you,

is there any reason why
we shouldn't be satisfied?

There's an organization known
as the Brotherhood of the Bell

that's out to harm
me and my family.

Let's don't go into that!

It happened exactly the
way the police said it did!

It was a mistake!

It was a mistake on my part,

and it was a mistake on

Mr. Baxter's part.

Andy, Andy!

Couldn't you sleep?

I'm trying to re-trace
Baxter's movements.

What for?

Well maybe the police
believe him, but I don't.

I believe him Andy.

Why did you panic?
Why did you shoot?

Because a month
ago I wouldn't have.

Because a month ago I was
afraid to be alone in this house.

And because a month ago

my life was not a
recurring nightmare!

I'm sorry!

I don't know how I'm
going to face this.

It was an accident, all right?

I'm ashamed to go to town!

I was born and raised here.

- My family, my parents, my sister...
- All right! All right!

Andy, wait for a fourth ring.

Well it might be the hospital.

It might be some... nut.

You see? It was.

Can you imagine what
they're going to say when,

when they find out
about poor Mr. Baxter?

They're going to say,
I'm as crazy as you are.

It doesn't matter what people
are gonna say. I mean really.

I'm not as strong
as you are Andy.

I don't want to hear them
say oh, Vivian Masters,

she's gone ape just
like her husband.

Do they still call you "Vivian
Masters" after twelve years?

- I ment Patterson.
- Did ya?

Don't psychoanalyze me!

It's cheap and it's easy
to call me hysterical!

Just as cheap and
easy to call me a nut!

I never have.

Let's just, let's
just sell the house;

sell the house and we'll go
someplace, somewhere together.

Just the two of us,
until this all disappears.

Oh, we can sell the house but all this
isn't going to just disappear, you know.

What do you mean?

I have a...

I have a couple of television and
radio interviews I'm going to give.

- Why?
- Because, I...

Is anyone left in
this civilized world

who hasn't heard about the Bell,

the Brothers of the Bell?

I owe Konstantine Horvathy debt.

You don't owe
him anything. I paid.

Do you want me to
pay for the rest of my life?

I shot Mr. Baxter.

What do I owe him?
That was an accident.

He bled, didn't he?

Is his blood or his flesh,
any less... precious?

Well, there's a difference.

I don't see any difference.

Oh, you don't?

Well, there is.

Andy, this...

This obsession of
yours is destroying us.

Isn't it clear that everyone who's
heard you, doesn't believe you?

And even the people
who believe you don't care.

Look! All I know is,
that I want to hurt them.

Vivian, I want to
hurt them bad...

I want to hurt them.

- How will you know when you have?
- I know I want it...

It doesn't bleed.
It doesn't cry out.

It doesn't, it doesn't fight
back!

Don't try to stop me Vivian.

- Just don't try.
- I will try!

Because I won't
allow this to continue.

It's got to stop here,
and it's got to stop now.

Because otherwise,
I'm leaving you.

Right now.

And I won't be back!

Alright, go ahead
you lousy creep!

Yes doctor.

I, I know you did
the best you could.

I know.

Ah, listen. I'll make
the arrangements.

You know, all the
necessary... arrangements.

All right.

If you've come to
appologize, forget it.

Andy, why must
you be so stubborn?

My father can get
you another job

if that's what's
worrying you.

Look what you've caused
by all of this hysteria?

Two men, that I love are dead,

not because of
my hysteria as you,

as you call it, but
because I bought a lie.

The lie that you can get
something for nothing.

Well, you can get
nothing for nothing.???

Not even you.

You were given to me
just like everything else.

Now I have to give you back

and I don't care. I just don't...I...

I don't want you anymore.

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

Just get out.

Just, get out!

Well, what have you and
Professor Patterson decided Bob?

Mark, this is a cheap con.

- I'm sorry...
- I'll sue him for every nickel he's got.

Look, I changed my mind.

- Take it easy.
- What do you mean, take it easy?

I didn't sign anything, did I?

Bob, why don't you sit
down and rest a while.

It's now two and a half
hours before showtime.

Professor, I want
you to tell me why you

don't want to appear
on my program.

You can level with me.

I don't get upset like
my producer does.

I came down here and I
saw what I was getting into.

I know I conduct a sideshow.

But that's where I get my
audiences from... my ratings.

If you've watched the
show the last few years

you've seen some very
important people not being affraid.

Former Presidents
of the United States,

candidates for
pretty high offices,

a Supreme Court justice or two.

I wouldn't pass over that.

I'm gonna tell you something
I don't think you realize.

The whole story about the Brothers
of the Bell or whatever you call it,

is not newsworthy anymore.

The story's pretty well kicked.

Nothing new has happened to make
anybody sit up and take notice.

So if you want attention,

you're going to have
to be pretty persuasive.

You see, the difference
now, professor.

Is that I don't have to compete
with another show for you.

You're going to have to convince me
that you're worth putting on my show.

You know your father's
company's in big trouble.

What did the SEC decide about
Patterson International stock, Bob?

They suspended its rating,

pending the trial for the
indictment on income tax fraud.

The words around that your house
is up for sale. Is that true or false?

Yes. I, I put it up for sale.

And that your wife has left you
because she thinks you're a kook?

Well, we're, we're separated.

But the reasons are our
business, and nobody else's.

Ah, professor, professor. You're

yelling down a rain
barrel. Come on!

Here I am trying to
convince myself

to give you 30 minutes of
airtime

that should be worth
its weight in platinum to you,

so that you can stand
up and speak up.

Because if you tell the truth
this TV lens will show it.

But nothing shows
up a phony quicker

than this TV lens
either, professor.

Now if you believe
in what you say,

you can make a million
people believe it too.

This organization
was responsible for

the death of
Konstantine Horvathy.

It was responsible for my being
dismissed from The Institute.

And it was responsible for the indictment
against my father, Mike Patterson.

And you persist in these
accusations despite the fact

that you haven't come up
with one shred of evidence.

Wait a minute now!

As far as the indictment
about my father is concerned,

there is evidence that there was
forgery in some of those, those documents.

There was forgery in
some of those documents!

Thank you Professor. I think we've
heard quite enough of your story.

And now we're going
to open up the forum.

Anybody can step down to the little
red box and ask any question they like.

We have a gentleman there.

Yes sir. May we have
your name please?

Chief Wabenzi.

Chief of... Chief of what?

In the land from
which I was brought,

I was of a clan of chiefs.

I beg your pardon, chief.

Ah... Do you have a question
for Professor Patterson?

No question, but an observation.

The microphone is yours, Chief.

This organization which the
gentleman describes is not secret at all.

It is well known to every
black man, woman and child.

Is that a fact?

Yes, Mr. Harris!

This is the white power structure of
the United racial States of America!

The United what?

Racial or races, Mr. Harris.

There's only one thing that unites
the white people in this country,

and that is their racism!

And the organization which the
gentleman describes is well known to us!

Really?

Yes really Mr. Harris and do not
take that sarcastic tone with me!

I beg your pardon. I wouldn't
upset you for the world.

I'm awfully sorry. Now I
take it that you understand

all about the
professor's organization,

The Brothers of the
Bell. Is that correct, sir?

They can call themselves
anything they want,

but we know essentially
what they are.

They are the enemies of
my people, of my blood.

And they have not been a secret
to me, Mr. Harris; not for 600 years!

Thanks very much for your
kind words. You may sit down.

Alright! Anybody
else step to the forum.

Eh... Here comes a young lady.

May I have your name, Madam?

Mr. Harris,

May I ask a question of
your distinguished guest?

Well, certainly you may
but what's your name?

Well. Mr Harris...

For reasons which will
become evident to you shortly,

I cannot give you
my full real name.

We're gonna have to call you
something now, aren't we darling?

Could you call me
simply, a patriot?

Certainly, we can.

Mrs. Patriot proceed.

I mean, simply "patriot".

Oh, you're not married, huh?

Alright, simply Patriot, proceed!

Professor Patterson,

Is it not a fact that
your real name is not

Andrew Patterson
but, Abraham Warsaw?

My name is Andrew Patterson.

- Now that's my name!
- Of course.

I expected you to deny
it, Mr. Abraham Warsaw.

I have here documentary proof

that this man is really
named Abraham Warsaw

and that he's a Jew!

We're here to ask questions
about his organization isn't that so?

Right. It certainly does exist!

It's an organization of
secret International jewery.

Oh, it's been described
in many books,

documented records...

A lot of which I'm sure you
picked up in Berlin, huh?

I'm not going to reveal
my sources to you naturally.

I mean, after all,
these people are out to

kill anyone who
would expose them.

But if you desire, I
could give your viewers

a post office box in Pasadena

where they can get literature that
exposes this organization of Jews

and their mercenaries.

It's post office
box 472...

That's a no no! You wouldn't
really do a dirty thing like that

to a nice town
like Pasadena, would you?

Dump all that garbage on them?

Come on. You don't
live there, do ya?

If you want to give
them an address,

give them the address of the
last kooky farm you were at!

Can they write to
me, care of you, Bart?

It costs me money to
handle my mail, darling.

It'd cost me more to
handle yours. No, thank you.

I would think you
would contribute it

as your patriotic
American duty, Bart!

Well I gave at the office
last week, dear. Thank you.

Step down!

All right! Quiet down a
minute. I want to say something.

You want to hear a thought
that just occurred to me?

I don't think our
Professor Patterson

is part of a Jewish conspiracy

or part of a white
power conspiracy

but he is part of a conspiracy.

The Brothers of the Bell, I am
certain in my mind at this moment

is, in fact, an underground.

Catholic organization formed

by the secret College
of Cardinals in Rome;

formed to seize political,
economic and religious

control of the United
States of America!

About the Bell, alright?

We refer to the Bell as

the great Bell of
St. Peters in Rome.

Therefore, we are not dealing

with a Jewish plot,

or a white power plot

but a Catholic plot.

Thank you for your
observation, Mr. Harris.

Do you dum dums really
believe what I just told you?

But I've got one
real opinion anyway.

And that is, that our friend,
the Professor is an idiot!

Like all of you idiots who
stumbled down to that stupid

red box and proclaimed
conspiracy everywhere you looked!

But the truth of the matter
Professor, is that you lost your job,

your wife ran out on you,

your father's company faces
financial ruin

and your father had to die to
escape a jail sentence.

- Isn't that right?
- Well all of those...

All those things are
the work of the Bell!

Oh, sure they are. So anytime
anybody lowers the boom

it's somebody else's fault.

You're a ding-a-ling! You
hear that, you're a ding-a-ling!

Catching butterflies, you
better watch out for the net!

Those vilifications don't
answer in the points I made!

Somebody's gonna drop
the net on you, you creep!

I can understand why those meatballs
believe in you, because they're sick,

and ill-educated and stupid!

And they haven't a thing
in the world to believe in.

And when somebody
as well-educated as you,

as fat, as protected and
priviledged as you are

starts to yell conspiracy,
you make me sick!

This country gave you
everything you ever had

and you ought to get down
on your knees and Thank God

for every day of your life

rather than throwing
garbage on the flag

and the government
and the decent people

who are trying to do
what they can to keep it.

How much did
Harmon and his gang...

How much did he and his
Brothers pay you to do this?

Or, are you a Brother too?

Did you go to the
College of St. George?

- You answer that question!
- These are accusations you're making!

These are accusations....

Did you graduate from the College
of. St. George? Answer that question!

I've never... You
answer that question!!!

Don't stopthe camera. I
want this whole thing on tape!

I want it all on tape!

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!

Patterson?

You posted my bail?

Yes.

I pulled some strings to
get you out an hour earlier.

The newspapers are going to get
a picture of you sooner or later

and I thought you might look
more presentable later on.

Come on.

I don't know anything
about you, Dr. Fielder.

This is a photostat of
my academic history.

You won't find any mention
of the College of St. George.

I posed two
possibilities to myself.

One, that the cutting funds made by
the foundation was completely arbitrary.

And two, that it was not,
and it had a hidden purpose.

The purpose was
to get rid of me.

Yes, I agree.

The Ewing Foundation told me

that the cutting funds was made
at the direction of their bank.

And the bank told me that
it was against their policy

to disclose who
decided what they did.

However, I threatened
to make an issue out of it.

Tell me something.

How many members of
the investment committee

were Alumni of St. George?

One.

The Chairman.

I don't think that
constitutes real proof.

I began to get all the signals.

Such as?

I felt honored bound

to help all those who
have been separated

as a result of the cut to get
comparable or better jobs.

- I succeeded in every case except...
- Except mine.

It was as though your name was
on an invisible, national blacklist.

It is.

You two are going to be up till
all hours, so I'll say goodnight.

Andy, why don't you sleep here?

Ah, no. Listen Betty.

If I stay in this house it'll bring in
nothing but trouble for you and your family.

- It's just no good.
- You're staying! - No.

Jerry agrees with me.
See ya in the morning!

Andy. What it
boils down to, is this.

Can you get somebody
to stand up with you

and say yes, I'm a
Brother of the Bell too?

Suppose I found them.
What good would it do?

Why should they believe
him? They didn't believe me.

Well, I don't know
if it'll work, but...

one of those strange quirks
of human psychology...

What you hesitate to
believe from one person,

you will believe from two;

especially, if the second person has
nothing to gain from helping the first.

If I just had some
place to begin, some...

a clue.

Come on. Why don't
you get some sleep?

We can do this
again in the morning.

C'mon.

Of course.

Of course!

You won't be speaking
louder and louder.

Andy, this obsession
of yours is destroying us!

I am certain we shall hear less
and less from you as time goes on.

Isn't it clear that everyone who's
heard you, doesn't believe you?

My flesh. My blood.

And even the people
who believe you don't care.

Please.

I, I just want to
talk to you, that's all.

Now you are going
to come forward

and you are going to identify
yourself as a Brother of the Bell

and you're going to tell the whole
world what you know about it.

Wait a minute!

Listen.

I'm going to give you a
chance that I never had.

A chance to see what
your due bill is going to be

before you take
anything from them.

Now, that due bill is
a blank check, Phil.

And that's something
they don't tell you.

And on that check they can
get as payment your father's life,

your marriage,

your reputation,
anything and everything.

It's a blue sky payment, Philip.

And you've agreed to meet it.

Well, you agreed once!

If I'd known this when I
was your age,

I would have told them to go to
hell no matter what they offered.

Because whatever I
have,

I can persuade myself

I could have gotten without
their help or I didn't need it.

You see, I didn't call on them.

They called on me and
they will call on you, Phillip.

Remember, whatever they ask

you are going to
have to deliver.

Have they told you why they're out to
destroy me and everyone around me?

Have they?

Oh no. It's not because I
refused to make the payment.

I made it.

At the cost of a man's life.

And then I was sick of it. I said no, this
is not going to go on. I'm going to stop it.

I'm going to break it.

I'm at war with them, Philip!

You see, that's... you either
got to be at war with them

or you're in their service.
They won't allow anything else.

They won't allow any,
any... kind in-between.

Alright. You know?
I won't allow it.

As long as I last, I'm
your friend, I'm your ally.

I'm your way out of the Bell. You
see, you don't owe them anything.

All that mumbo-jumbo
spoken downstairs...

That doesn't make you a brother.

They've done nothing for you

and you've done
nothing for them.

And now you can escape them.

You can escape them using me.

Me is your way out Phillip.

But when I'm gone

there'll be no escape.

Come with me

and you're free of
the Brotherhood.

You won't owe them anything.

We catch the noon plane

you know, to Los
Angeles you and me.

You're my last chance, Philip.

And I'm your last chance.

Do you know what I'm saying?

What I'm...

What I'm, I'm offering you?
What that freedom is worth?

Oh my God!
