SCANDAL IN THE WORLD OF MEDICINE Will Lundell get his doctorate?

Mystery surrounds thesis Great stir in the world of doctors

An awkward situation Young doctor in a quagmire

An unusual affair has roused awkward attention in the world of science.

A young, promising biochemist by the name of Arne Lundell had his M.D. thesis bound yesterday.

At the same time, though, the chief physician at St. Luke's, professor Alb. Sander, M.D. published -

another treatise - on the exactly same subject.

Both scientists claim to have come up with a preparation for the treatment of schizophrenia.

The remarkable thing is that not only are the two preparations exactly the same, but -

the two treatises also share so many similarities that one of the authors can well be suspected of plagiarism.

INTERVIEW WITH PROF. SANDER (The professor rejects all charges of plagiarism and voices veiled -

suspicion about the character of Lundell)

Sensation around Lundell - Road blocked for a promising scientist?

The Lundell affair Coincidence or plagiarism?

Appearances are against Lundell A grave betrayal of trust?

Arne!

Arne!

I care for you so much.

Lundell compromised Serious literary theft?

Professor Sander tells today that there was a strange calculation error in his manuscript.

The error was discovered during proofreading and doesn't appear in the published paper, -

but it can be found in Lundell's thesis. The public awaits Lundell's explanation with excitement.

I can't take it anymore.

What are you going to do? - I'll go away.

Where to? - I don't know, it doesn't matter.

But away from it all. - From me too?

What is it with you, Arne?

You can't let him strike you down.

What do you want me to do?

You have to work.

Work? - Start something new.

I lack courage. - We believe in ourselves, -

when others believe in us, right?

No one believes in me.

I believe in you.

Look in my eyes.

What do you see in them?

I'll try again.

I knew it. - But not now, Marianne.

I can't get ahold of myself now. - I'll help you.

You're so very good, Marianne.

I'll go get your slippers.

By the way, where did you go? To the hospital, to talk to Sander.

Did you meet him?

No, he wasn't there - at least that's what they said.

Whom did you speak with? - With Ryman.

Did he say anything? - I got so mad at him.

He said never could understand why Sander let me in the hospital.

If he were Sander I'd have been out a long time ago.

But then I said what I thought... of Sander.

What did you say?

I said he's a pest, who should be shot like a dog.

If only you'd seen their faces.

Were there others there?

They were all there.

Where have you been with these shoes?

When Sander wasn't at the hospital, I went to his home.

To his home?

Was he there?

First I walked to and fro in front of his house for a while, -

and thought what I'd say.

What did you say?

I didn't go in.

Why didn't you?

What good would that do? He's stronger than I am.

It was good that you didn't go in.

Do you want to listen to Sander?

Yes, it's today. - What?

His lecture.

We'll listen to it. - No, what'd be the use of that?

Maybe he'll say something about you.

That's the end of the gramophone program

Now we'll listen to a lecture by Prof. Albert Sander.

He speaks about the treatment of schizophrenia.

Tonight I plan to describe some of my latest research results, -

concerning the treatment of schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is one of the most widely spread mental illnesses.

Can't we shut it down? - No, wait.

Health is understood as...

Unfortunately we must discontinue the broadcast, -

because of a message that just came in.

Prof. Sander has suddenly died.

The professor's lecture, recorded on steel tape, -

will be rebroadcast at a later date.

That was strange.

Yes... It's strange that they didn't say what he died of.

You could call Laurin. Surely he'll know.

Yes, I could do that.

Connect me to the Dagligt Allehanda newspaper.

May I speak with editor Laurin?

It sounds harsh, but I think it's wonderful that he's dead.

You think so? - Yes!

It's easier to breathe.

Hi there, Laurin! It's Arne Lundell.

Sorry for disturbing.

Surely you've heard of Sander's death

Do you happen to know how it happened?

What?

He committed suicide.

Oh.

Really.

That's sensational.

Thank you. If you hear more, it'd be nice if you'd call me.

Thanks, bye.

He shot himself.

But why did he do it?

In any case, he can't do any more damage now.

Now he can't hurt you anymore.

Doesn't everything seem brighter now?

Yes.

Here's the sugar.

Making others do the work, you're good at that.

Don't you have anything else to say to me? - Yes.

I love you.

It's wonderful to hear you say it.

It feels strange. - I see.

Don't you feel anything? - Yes. Hunger.

Now I recognize you.

Hold on, I'll see what we've got.

Do you want crackers with swiss cheese?

That's splendid!

Is this sweet enough?

I believe it is. You shouldn't believe, you must know.

Yes, it's enough.

Here's a cracker for you.

Why do you give me all the holes?

Men are so troublesome!

Now about women...

Don't talk with food in your mouth.

Crackers aren't food. - Here's another one.

Thanks.

I'm coming.

Hi, it's Semming.

I heard that.

I'm sorry I can't come in person.

I'm running an experiment here that I can't get away from.

It's all right.

Listen now. I just talked to my brother over the phone.

The one in Lausanne, you know.

He just became the chief of a new biochemical institute there.

Yes, I remember him very well.

Now he wants you to go there.

Me? - Precisely.

To do what? - To lead one of the laboratories.

Oh, that sounds pretty tempting, -

but... - But what?

Does he know anything about the thesis issue?

Yes, but he said he doesn't care about it.

He knows you, and knows you're good.

Did he say that? - Yes, and besides, he can't stand Sander.

Have you heard that Sander's dead?

No really? - Yep, suicide.

Damn...

Now there's one crook less in the world.

When would that Lausanne job start?

Preferably at once, I think.

I'm very happy about it.

That's what I thought.

I must sleep on it first, there's much to think about. - Sure.

Hey, maybe I'll hear from you later?

You'll hear from me tomorrow morning.

That's fine.

So long. - So long.

Arne, I'm so happy.

When can we go?

Must it be right away? - Yes, let's get away from everything

It'll be wonderful.

What are you trying to do? - Listen to Lausanne.

It's somewhere here.

There.

Short steps.

Marianne.

Shut up.

Arne. - Shut up.

What is it?

Marianne. - What is it now?

I want to kiss you so much.

Why don't you do it?

You're so lovely.

Look at yourself.

What is it?

It tickled.

That's the sweetest neck I know.

Do you know many necks?

Only yours.

What are you smelling?

You have the scent of a woman.

And smell like a man.

I wonder if the evening papers are out.

SANDER MURDERED - PROFESSOR WAS SHOT AT HIS HOME

I'll run down and buy a newspaper.

Let's see now...

Sander was found collapsed over his desk, a gunshot wound on his temple, and a 6.5mm Mauser next to him.

It says the shot was fired at short range

How can they know that?

If there's gunpowder remains in the wound.

Four o'clock...

It's when I was there.

How do you know it?

I looked at the time.

Where were you then?

Right by the house.

Incidentally, the door was ajar.

Maybe you came just as...

It can very well be...

I may become under suspicion for the murder.

You? - Yes, it's not unthinkable.

No... Did you see anyone there?

Then no one saw you, either. - I can't know.

Who could have seen you?

The murderer, for example.

Arne, I'm so afraid.

About what?

That they'll suspect you!

Everybody knows how it was between you and Sander.

Yes but... - And the thing at the hospital...

Maybe I was a bit impetuous... - You said you'd take his life.

No, I didn't.

Oh yes, you said he should be shot like a dog.

I might have been a bit careless.

Very careless.

If only you hadn't said it.

Do you know what's the worst thing?

What the paper said about the revolver.

What was it?

That he was shot with a 6.5mm Mauser.

Ours is a 6.5mm Mauser.

Nobody knows about it. - The police does.

How can they know about it?

They have a list of everyone who owns firearms. I'm on it.

It's terrible!

It's not here!

Not here either. Where could it be?

Isn't it there? - No.

Oh right, it's in the country.

We forgot to bring it back.

Yes, I saw it. I know where it is.

That's good, and besides -

it doesn't matter yet.

Let's hope so.

What do you mean?

It doesn't matter what I think, but the others!

I don't understand.

I've always been afraid your temper would get you into trouble.

What do you mean?

Do you think I killed Sander?

I don't think so, but the police might.

What is it?

It's just someone on the stairs.

Be sensible, Marianne.

You mustn't collapse like that.

You're acting like the cops are already on my heels.

Shut up!

Take it easy! They won't judge an innocent man.

Not if he can prove his innocence.

Can you?

What are you looking for? - Wait.

Here it is.

The investigation has revealed -

that there must be blood on the killer's clothes.

What are you trying to say?

I checked your raincoat.

There's no blood on it. - What of it?

Then you can't have done it.

Isn't it logical?

There's our proof!

Don't you think they could use me at Scotland Yard? - That's for sure.

I feel much calmer now

That's good

That's very good

Does it taste good?

I'm sorry, darling

Have a bit more

Munch it yourself

Eat all of it

What's that?

Blood!

Where does it come from?

Why do you stare at me?

Do you think I... - No, no

If even you think so, then... - But I don't, Arne

I've had nosebleed

Oh, so that's it

I was so worried. - About what?

I don't know why

We must get rid of it

What are you going to do? - Burn it

Are you ready?

Yes

Who could it be?

Take it. I'll open the door

Who is it?

It's a letter to doctor Lundell

Why do you knock? Why didn't you ring the doorbell?

I did rang it several times

Oh, then I didn't hear it.

I can't open the door as I was just changing clothes

Can't you slide the letter in?

All right

It's just that my orders were to leave it in personally

Just put it in

A letter from St. Luke's

Perhaps a last friendly greeting

From Sander

Regarding the unfortunate circumstances of your thesis defence

The hospital's board of directors is compelled to suspend you -

from your internship for an unspecified time

Thank God, that's all there is to it - What is it?

It's nothing

It's nothing at all

You're shaking like an aspen leaf - It's nothing, I'm so tired

I'll carry you

I'm so afraid of losing you

You must stay with me, always

Always

You're crying

I'm not crying

Do you know what I'm thinking

I'm thinking how wonderful it must be, -

for two people who love each other, -

to grow old together

You'll always be good to me, -

right?

Darling

I want to tell you something

Come closer

I want to whisper it

I love you

I'm thirsty

There you go, my wife

I've never loved you like now

Is it true?

Kiss me, and I'll know if you're lying

You're not lying

Kiss me

Again?!

Yes, again!

Hurry up!

Your chin is like a piece of sandpaper

Marianne, -

Sing your lullaby for me

Do you want to hear it? - Yes, I'd love to

Arne. - Yes

Do you know what I'm wishing for?

No. What?

How dumb you are

Say it, so I'll know

A little girl

Girl...

Does it have to be a little girl

Yes...

It's the news

Just as we were daydreaming. Please stay

We'll listen to what's happened, then we'll daydream some more

The murder hasn't been solved yet, -

The dominant notion is that it was a premeditated act of vengeance

Important information, that the police has received this afternoon -

corroborates this assumption, -

and a definite line of investigation is being followed

Police dogs have been deployed, -

New details are just arriving

We'll be back in a moment

It's dreadful

What?

The thing about the dogs

The police have found a glove in the garden of the villa - a men's glove -

It is considered to be significant to the investigation

It's an almost new left-handed glove made of reindeer skin -

marked with the initials A.N.

It is considered to belong to the murderer

It's your glove!

Mine? - Yes

But I didn't wear any gloves today

But you heard it yourself! - What?

That they've found one

If it is my glove

Should I perhaps call the police

Are you mad? - No

It would be crazy! - How come?

They've found a glove. - Your glove

That's what you say

Oh, Arne

Aren't we the most miserable people in the world?

You mustn't be afraid

You're afraid yourself

You pretend you're not, -

but you are

I am scared

I didn't murder Sander

Yet I feel as if -

I somehow have something to do with it

Worst thing is -

it looks like I did it

There's one thing we must keep in mind

What's that?

There's no blood on your coat

It isn't enough

Why not? - It isn't enough!

The police know I, a chemist, could have got rid of the blood traces

Why didn't you tell it to me earlier?

I didn't have the heart

You lied to me

Oh how I wish this thing came to an end

I wish this were over and they'd be here to get me

You're talking as if you were guilty

I feel like I'm convicted already

You don't even know if you're under suspicion

Arne! Oh God!

It's OK

What are you going to do?

Nothing

They mustn't come!

They mustn't come take you away! They can't do it, Arne!

Stay away from the window or they'll see you

Are they coming?

I can't hear anything. - Maybe they entered through the kitchen

I can't hear anything there, either

What's that?

Is it something?

I think they're coming back

Thank God!

I've got you

We have each other. We're together, you and me

I'm sorry I scared you. - It was my fault

It was us both. We infected each other

It was so silly of me. - What?

To get so scared

Gosh, you're not a murderer

No, it was just our imagination

I see your big, frightened eyes

Do you remember, Marianne: -

"Men must be clear-eyed", -

"Their eyes must shine gently", -

"the short moments of happiness"

"before happiness is gone"

You got it wrong, buddy. - Excuse me?

It's "before life is over"

I think it's you who are wrong

But I can check it in a twinkling

Yes you can. It's probably in there

Could you turn on the light?

Here it is

"Men must be clear-eyed", -

"Their eyes must shine gently", -

"the short moments of happiness"

"before happiness is gone"

You see? I was right

There's a letter here

Letter?

It's for you, but I think I recognize the handwriting

Arne, please give it to me

Can't I read it?

Be nice and give it to me - What's in it?

Something completely insignificant

Then it shouldn't matter if I read it

Please give it to me

Who sent you the letter?

Sander

I used to know him

Know..?

Do you mean..? - It was before I met you

I ended it myself

When?

The day I met you

Do you find it horrible that I knew a man before you?

No, I don't

But did it have to be him?

I'm sorry

I understand that

Why didn't you tell me before?

I've thought of it a few times, but...

But?

I didn't dare. - Why's that?

I was afraid of losing you

You can't have loved us both

If Sander was the one, it couldn't have been me

But he wasn't the one

You must've thought so back then

I didn't love him

You felt somethin for him, that's for sure

I hated him. - Why didn't you break up with him, then?

I couldn't tear myself loose from him

But in the end you did it after all

Yes, because you came

The day I met you, was the day my life began

You came straight from him that day

I got away from him for your sake. - He had you first

Arne!

I don't think a woman goes with a man, -

if he means nothing to her

Can't you forget?

Arne, aren't we the same people we were before?

You're not the same

What's changed? - Everything!

Everything? - Everything! It's all been a lie

There you go! Sander's letter

Don't you want it?

To hide it...

As a memento

Quit sobbing

How was it, Sander and you?

You and him

How'd it begin?

Answer me

Answer me!

Did he force you?

Or did you like it?

Where were you? At a hotel?

Or at his home?

Was he a good kisser? - Arne!

Would he carry you to bed?

Answer me!

Answer me!

Wench!

Get out of here! Out, I said!

Why aren't you going?

Too bad you don't have Sander now

He woud have welcomed you with open arms

Arne. - Go away

Yes, I'll go

There's nothing to keep you here

I know

Well then, just go

Let me stay here until tomorrow

No, you should go now

Breaking up?

Yes

Over?

Yes

You don't love me anymore?

No, I don't

Why aren't you leaving?

Good bye

Don't you want to take my hand?

Where are you gonna go to?

It doesn't matter

Right

When I'm gone, -

don't judge me too harshly

I've been very fond of you

Maybe too much so

I'll go now

Good bye

Don't cry, darling. Don't cry

Will you stay with me?

If you want me to

I need you

We need each other

Can you forgive me?

You don't think I'm a bad woman?

No

Think how happy we've been

We'll be happy again

You think so?

I know it

Your tears are so salty

Don't look at me like that

I'll answer it

Just a moment, he's coming

Who is it? - It's Laurin again

Hello... Hi there!

Yeah... No, not at all

I see...

Oh, that's too bad

Thanks for calling

Thank you

Bye

What did he say?

It was a woman who killed Sander

Someone saw a young woman enter his house

That was good news, wasn't it?

Sure...

Aren't you happy?

Sure...

Arne!

What is it?

It was I who shot Sander

What are you saying?

It was I who shot Sander

Why don't you believe me?

Which coat were you wearing today?

My raincoat

You needn't look

There's blood on it

Everything went so well, -

but for the glove I lost

Was it you who lost it?

Yes

Why did you take my gloves?

I couldn't find my own

And they were so easy to put on and take off

Oh! So as to not leave fingerprints

Yes

How did you get in?

Who opened the door?

He did

I phoned him beforehand

Where did you get the gun from? Was it his?

It was yours

You left it there?

I lost it -

and didn't dare look for it

I just wanted to get away

It must've been horrible for you

Yes

Yet I felt liberated as I saw him dead

What should we do now?

I want to stay here with you

Let us be happy for every hour we're together

Will you give me a cigarette?

There's something you haven't told me yet

What?

Why did you murder Sander?

It started on the day -

that Sander came here

Sander came here?

Yes

It started a year and a half ago

You were in Gothenburg

The doorbell rang

I opened, and it was Sander

You let him in

I felt obliged to do it

I knew he could hurt you

What did he want?

He asked me how you were doing, -

and about your work

He told me -

he would help you for my sake

In the end he -

told me to go to him to talk about it

About what he could do for you

You did it

I though if I could help you... - How was he?

Perfectly decent

He didn't mention the past? - Not with a single word

It was like he wanted me to forget there had been anything between us

That's strange

Maybe he regretted it

and wanted to make amends by helping us

So he promised to help me

Yes

For your sake? - Yes

He understood you wouldn't take anything he gave you

Therefore he wanted to do it so that you wouldn't see where it came from

And you were naive enough to believe it

Clearly he kept his promises

You got out of your job at the hospital

You got a position at the laboratory

You got grants and scholarships... - He didn't want anything in return?

Nothing

And you gave him no hope?

We never discussed anything but your work

Don't you think it was wrong to act like that?

I only thought of you

And you kept all of it to yourself

It's because you were happy

We were happy, the both of us

Hasn't the last year been the happiest time of our lives?

Sure

But at what price?

The price, -

you paid it. - I?

Drink this, Marianne

You still haven't told me why you killed Sander

You must be patient

I'm coming to it

You must have wondered -

why your and Sander's papers -

were similar. Isn't that right?

You'll get the explanation now

I gave him -

your work after it was finished

You showed him my notes?

Yes, all of your material

All of it

Why?

Because he -

wanted to follow your work very much - Why's that?

He wanted to correct any errors in it

Were there any errors?

There were some small errors

I corrected them -

without your knowledge

You betrayed me

It's because I loved you

Arne, you have to hear all of it

Is there more to it?

Yes, there's more

I'd rather not hear it

Arne, you have to listen to me

This is not a time for angry words

You don't know how long you'll have me

I want you to know everything -

before it's too late

Listen to me Arne, -

then you can judge me

You..

You needn't say any more

Now I'll tell you -

about my last... -

no, my next to last discussion with Sander

It was the day before yesterday

At his home

He had phoned and asked me to come

I was assured he'd have good news -

for yesterday was the day -

your thesis was to be nailed

Please seat yourself before me, -

so that I can see you

I sat and waited for a long time

Then I heard a door open

and steps approaching

The first thing I saw -

was his shadow

I couldn't take my eyes off it

You have no idea how horrible it was

It was nice of you to come

There you go. - Thanks

Here's to you!

But you're not drinking

Cigarette?

No thanks

You said it was something important

It is

What is it, then?

I'm planning to get married

To whom?

To you

To me?

That's right

Naturally you'll have to get a divorce

You can't be serious. - Oh yes

I wonder what my husband's going to say

We won't ask him

No? - No. It's between us two

But I love my husband

You are going to love me, as well

I have never been fond of a woman as I'm fond of you now

I'll do anything to get you

When I've got you my only thought will be to make you happy

I can't be happy with anyone but my husband

You just think so. - No, I know it

He's no man for you - Why not?

He's weak

I wouldn't want him any other way

You'll grow tired of him

We'll talk about it then. - No!

We'll talk about it now

You'll have to break up with him

There's nothing else to do. You will be mine

Why does it have to be me

There's lots of women who are more exciting than I am

It's possible, -

But it's you I want

How many times do I need to tell you it's him I want?

Prove it, then

How?

By getting a divorce

You don't understand me?

No

Then I'll express myself more clearly

Then he started to threaten me

Threaten?

He threatened to destroy your life

your career, your future

make a dead man out of you

Yet he had recently helped me

for your sake

Don't you understand?

He merely feigned interest in you

to get his hands on the material for your thesis

If he wouldn't get his way -

he threatened to tell you that I was his mistress

You have no idea how mean he was

Marianne

I was ashamed of having believed him

I wanted to get away from him

When I ran away he yelled after me

You'll come again

He got that one right

I came again

Today

Marianne, my darling...

Come...

Do you believe me now, Arne? - Yes

Then I'll accept whatever happens to me

What, then?

I mean the punishment

Punishment? What are you talking about?

They're coming soon to get me - Noone's gonna get you!

But I did kill him

Surely you're not planning to say anything to the police? - I am

I'll take the blame

No, Arne

You can't go to prison, Marianne. - Arne...

You'll leave the country

But when? - Now!

I can't live without you

I'll stay here with you. - No, Marianne

You might say something implicating. - I won't say anything

Arne, what shall we do?

You'll travel

And never see you again? I'll get out eventually

I can't do it

It'll be best for me if you're far away

Marianne...

And we'll meet again

Do you really hink we'll do it

We'll live together

You and me, just like before

Think how many years it'll take

Time goes by so fast, Marianne

Time goes so fast

Calm down, now

We'll see each other again

Isn't it a wonderful thought?

How will it go for you? - Don't think about it

As long as I know you're waiting

I promise I will

Let's not waste time

You've got to go pack

I'll take care of what needs to be taken care of

Marianne! - Yes?

Little darling, aren't you inside, packing?

I'll go now

Come here for a second first

What is it?

Why do you look at me like that?

Look at this first, Marianne

These insurance policies, we'll let them expire

This is my life insurance

You'll take it with you, and this bank book, -

Here's the cash I have home. It's not much, -

but you should get by on it for a while

Fetch your raincoat

I'll remove the blood stains

Still here? Hurry up, now!

What are you going to do?

I'm getting your raincoat. Is it here?

It's no use

Aren't you going to travel?

No

Why's that?

It's not needed anymore

What have you done?

I want to die, -

because I can't live without loving

Arne, I can't live without you

Marianne!

You mustn't go

I'm not going

Do you think it'll take long

I feel so weak

So wonderfully weak

Arne

What are you thinking about?

About everything I would have liked to say to you, -

that I now never can say

You've said so much -

that I'll never forget

There was so much more

What I want to say to you -

is just one word: -

Thank you

Marianne!

Yes?

Would you sing your little lullaby?

Do you want to hear it?

Marianne!

Yes? - Can you hear the bells?

Church bells!

Like on a Sunday morning

in the countryside

when we were children

Can't you hear them?

Yes, Arne

Now I hear them

Me too

Arne
