All language subtitles for 43 ∙ Kill with Kindness (1956) S2.E4.en

Good evening.

Television fans can be so
demonstrative and unpredictable.

At the time this happened,
I was under the impression

I was being put on a pedestal.

My wife's not going to
like this.

She's always telling me not
to leave my ashes on the floor.

Tonight, we present a very
warm little story called.

"Kill With Kindness."

Reception seems to be
rather bad tonight.

Is your screen clouding up?
Mine is.

I think we better run
a test film first.

If you have no difficulty in seeing
it, we will show you our story.

Katherine.
Katherine, look at this.

Here, dear. Here, come quick.

What is it, dear?

Look...

There. I do believe
it's a cedar waxwing.

Dear Fitz, you and your birds.

There he goes.

It's very seldom that you see
a cedar waxwing in the park.

Fitz, there's that man again.

He comes every day.

Yes, yes.
You know, he's a kind man.

He likes birds. Anybody
who likes birds is kind.

He looks about right,
don't you think?

Well, what about him?

Yes, I think he'd be
an excellent choice.

5:15 p. m.,

one cedar waxwing.

I'll be back soon, dear.

All right.
Katherine.

Yes?
Katherine,

about my butterfly collection,
don't you think we could save...

Now, we've been all through
that before, haven't we, Fitz?

It seems such a shame.

I'm sorry.

I know what your butterfly
collection means to you,

but it will have to go,
like everything else.

It wouldn't look right. You
understand that, don't you?

Yes, Katherine.

Dear Fitz.

It's always such a joy to
watch you sort your specimens.

It's very delicate work,
you know.

Now, you're going to try to
behave yourself, aren't you?

And you're not going
to say the wrong things?

I won't. I won't,
Katherine, I promise.

That's a dear boy.

Why, you poor man!

Me, ma'am?

Yes, you.

Are you hungry?

I guess I'm always hungry.

I knew it.
I just knew it.

You know, I was looking out of my
window, my house is across the street,

and I said to myself,
I said, "Katherine Oldham,

"it would be an act of human kindness
if you were to feed that poor, poor man."

You mean you want to
give me something to eat?

Well, why not?

You know, I made a pot of stew for supper
tonight and there's still plenty left.

It wouldn't take me a minute
to hot it up.

Well, that's very kind
of you, ma'am, but...

Bosh, don't you go thanking me.

As I say, it's only an
act of human kindness.

Now, come along.

Yes, ma'am.

One thing.

I must warn you about Fitzhugh.

Fitzhugh?

He's my brother. He's very
eccentric. He says the wildest things.

But you're not to pay any attention
to it. You'll remember that, won't you?

Yes, ma'am.
I will remember.

Then come along, and I'll put
some hot food into you right away.

Come in.
Come in.

It was just like I said,
the poor man was starved.

This is my brother, Fitzhugh.

Yes, ma'am.
They call me Jorgy.

Delighted, Mr. Jorgy.

Won't you go right in
through that door?

He's perfect.
Perfect.

Now, you entertain our guest
while I heat the stew.

Fitz, possibly you'd like to
show him your butterfly collection.

Good.
Yes.

Do you like butterflies,
Mr. Jorgy?

I don't know much
about butterflies.

You're missing a great
thrill. Here, let me show you.

No, here I am, over here.

In its final
and fully developed state,

the butterfly is the most perfect
of all diurnal lepidopteris insects.

And, so beautiful in flight.

Here,

I'm particularly proud of this one.
Difficult to catch because it flies so high.

But I lured it into the net
with tobacco smoke.

Are you a stranger
in these parts, Mr. Jorgy?

I guess I'm a stranger almost
everywhere. I get around a lot.

No home, no family?
No sir.

Nothing good ever happens
to me. I guess I'm jinxed.

Well, you mustn't
despair. Remember,

fortune is like a glass.

The brighter the glitter,
the more easily broken.

If you have nothing,
you have nothing to lose.

I never thought about it
that way.

That's the only way
to think of it.

Please, do sit down.

Take Katherine and me, for
example. We're impoverished.

Nothing left except this house
and my insurance policy.

But do we worry?
Certainly not.

Katherine, Mr. Jorgy
is all alone in the world.

Haven't you anyone, anybody at
all who might be asking after you?

No, ma'am. I guess ain't nobody
cares what happens to me.

But my sister and I care very much
what happens to you, Mr. Jorgy.

Don't we, Katherine?

I'll dish up the stew.

Well, Mr. Jorgy, come
right over here and sit down.

My sister will have
your supper in just a minute.

That's right.

Now, tell me, how do you
like our little town?

Have you been here long?

No, sir, not long.

Have you made any friends?

No, people ain't
very friendly to me.

A policeman told me to
be out of town before night.

Well, don't you worry.

As far as the police are
concerned, you've already left town.

Here's Katherine
with your supper, now.

Now, you let Mr. Jorgy be, Fitz, while
he eats. Plenty of time to talk later.

Yes, Katherine.

Now, you go right to it, Mr. Jorgy.
There's plenty more in the kitchen.

Well, it does my heart good
to see you eat so well.

Peace of mind always begins
in the stomach, I always say.

Where are you going, Fitzhugh?

I have to tend to something
in the basement.

Later, Fitz.
We'll tend to it together.

Don't you think
we ought to get started?

Later, Fitzhugh.

There's one of those
pesky moths again.

Get the insect spray, will
you? There's a dear boy.

Now, you stop fooling
with it, Fitz. Kill it.

You wanted me
to kill it. Now, Fitz.

Yes, you did. How could you
ask me to do a thing like that?

My sister
tried to kill me, you know.

Fitz!
The things you say!

Remember what
I told you, Mr. Jorgy.

Yes, she did.
She tried to kill me.

The insurance policy I told you
about? Well, she's the beneficiary.

I don't blame her. It's an
excellent way to get some money.

Fitz, the stories you make up.

What I said to her was that
there was no need to kill me.

All we had to do was to find
a substitute for my corpse,

then we could both enjoy
the insurance money.

Now, Fitz, you stop talking nonsense. Stop it!
There's no reason for you to talk to me, I...

Well, your plate is empty.
Let me get you some more.

No, ma'am,
I don't think I better.

Now, don't be bashful.

Ain't that, ma'am. But it's
getting late, I think I better go.

You're not going to leave this
house until you've had some coffee.

No, coffee. Thanks.
Some tea, then?

No, nothing.
Milk?

Milk?

Some nice warm milk.

It makes a body feel so relaxed.

Fitz.

Fitz, dear.

Yes?

I think it would be an act
of human kindness

if you were to give Mr. Jorgy
a clean suit of clothes.

We can't have him
dressed like that, dear.

What?

No.

Or maybe one of yours
would fit him.

You're about the same size.

That blue one, maybe?

All right.

And shoes.

What size do you wear,
Mr. Jorgy?

Shoes?
I don't know.

You mean, you're gonna give
me a new suit and shoes, too?

Maybe my luck's changed.

Fitz, you take Mr. Jorgy upstairs
and try on a suit of clothes.

And meanwhile, I'll
clear everything off here.

But I should attend to that
job in the basement, first.

Shouldn't I, Katherine?

All right, dear, you tend to it,

and I'll take
Mr. Jorgy upstairs.

Yes, Katherine.
Thank you, Katherine.

There's another one
of those pesky moths!

Little monster.

I caught it!
I got it!

You know, Fitz doesn't like me to kill
them, but I do when he's out of the room.

There, a nice little moth
for supper.

My, it looks as though
it's going to rain.

Mr. Jorgy, you'll just
have to stay the night.

No, ma'am, I couldn't do that.

Nonsense, I insist.

Now, you come along upstairs
and try on that suit of clothes.

This way.

Where is it?

Where did she put it?

Now, you try on the coat.

Here, I'll help you.

It's a beautiful suit.

Beautiful!

That's a perfect fit, perfect.

Why, to look at you, anyone would
say that you were a man of means.

Now, look in the mirror
and see for yourself.

You know, it's very
kind of you, ma'am, to,

you know, to give me this
suit and feed me and all.

Nonsense, it's just a
human kindness, that's all.

A human kindness.

And now, you try on the rest of the
things, and I'll see you downstairs.

Yes, ma'am.

There it is.

Well, Mr. Jorgy,
you look quite different.

Now, turn around and
let me see the back.

Well, I declare, it's as
though it was made for you.

The sleeves need a
little bit of lengthening.

Well, I'll do that
tomorrow before you leave.

I can't stay here tonight.

It's been so long since I slept
under a roof, I'd be uncomfortable.

Mr. Jorgy, your saying that
makes me feel real bad.

To think of it, a man forgetting the
comforts of clean sheets and a soft bed.

Well, I just won't hear of it,
that's all. You're going to stay.

I'm warming some milk
for you. Make you sleep.

Yeah, but...

Fitz will be very disappointed if he can't
show you the rest of his butterfly collection.

Now, wait just a minute,
I'll fetch him.

Aren't you finished yet, Fitz?

In a minute.

There.

There, there, now I'm all ready.

Now, Fitz, you know
what you've got to do?

Yes, yes, don't worry.

Now, tell me, so that I can make
sure that you've got it straight.

Now, Katherine, I won't have
you treating me like a child.

I have to make sure, you're so forgetful,
Fitz. Now tell me once again, so I won't worry.

All right.

After the fire is started,
I'm to go upstairs...

I'm to go upstairs,

then I'm to change into his
clothes and I'm to leave immediately.

You've forgotten something.

I have? No, no,
no, I remember it all.

The ring, you've got to
put the ring on his finger.

But it belonged to grandfather.

That's why we must leave it,
to complete the identification.

There must be no question
that the body upstairs is yours.

Now, after you've put the ring on
his finger, you must leave right away.

Leave right away.
Yes.

Now?

No, not until he's asleep.

Now, tell me where you're going?

I know, Katherine.
I know.

Tell me.

The Fenton Hotel in Spring City.

The Trenton Hotel,
not the Fenton...

Well, what difference
does it make? I'll find it.

Be careful, dear.

Yes, I will.
I will, I promise.

Now?

No.

And when everything's settled

and I've collected the insurance
money, I'll join you there.

Now, I want you to take
good care of yourself, dear.

Yes, yes, don't worry.

Yes, the nights are cold in Spring City. I
want you to buy some nice, warm clothes.

Burn this in the furnace.

What is it?

It's the x-ray plates of your teeth. You know,
I went to see that nice dentist, Dr. Craig.

How did you get them?

Well, I just took them out of the file when
he stepped out of the room. Burn them.

Yes, Katherine.

Now, listen carefully.

I'm fixing some hot milk and I'm putting
something in his glass to make him sleep.

Be sure you choose
the right one.

Yes, I will.
You know which?

The glass nearest your
left hand is for our guest.

The right hand, Fitz!

The right hand!

Now, let's go back upstairs. You've got
to talk to him because he wants to leave.

Yeah.
Katherine?

Katherine, wait. Will
everything burn? Everything?

Yes, Fitz.
Everything.

That's a pity.

Yes, he was such a nice man.

What? No, no, I was thinking
of my butterfly collection.

Well, now, Mr. Jorgy.

No, please, help yourself.

What's this my sister tells me?

You're refusing our hospitality?

No, it ain't that,

but you've been so kind and all, I
didn't want to cause you any more trouble.

It's no trouble. No trouble
at all. We're glad to have you.

Now, here we are. You boys
drink this up before it gets cold.

Mr. Jorgy, your shoes
are so handsome,

but I think you better tie that
shoelace or you'll go tripping.

Here, let me hold that for you.

They're both tied.

Dear me, I can't see a
thing without my spectacles.

Well, drink up.

This one's known as the zebra.

It's found in the southern United States,
although it's sometimes been known to stray

as far north as Kansas.

It flies deep in the woods...

Deep in the woods or

around the edges.

Our guest must be tired.

Well, it's time
we all went to bed.

Fitz, why don't you take Mr. Jorgy
upstairs, and tell him where things are.

Come along,
Mr. Jorgy.

Time for a good night's rest?

Night, ma'am.

Good night, Mr. Jorgy.

Here we are. I hope
you'll be very comfortable.

Now, if there's anything you want,
you just be sure and let me know.

Look, this is... This is your
room and your bed, ain't it?

Now, don't you worry about that.

Well, good night.

And pleasant dreams.

Wait a minute, dear.
Where are you going?

To start the fire, of course.

You know I can't let you
do that, dear. It's too risky.

But I want to start the
fire. I like starting fires.

I know you do, dear,
but if you botched it.

Katherine, you never let
me do anything important.

Everything you do
is important, dear.

Now, now, come on
upstairs, and we'll see

whether Mr. Jorgy
is resting comfortably.

Now, come on, dear.

Mr. Jorgy?

Mr. Jorgy?

Now, Fitz, you know
what you have to do.

I won't call for help until
the fire reaches this floor,

and then you'll be far away.

I'd rather start the fire.

Now, Fitz, you
put on his clothes.

All right.

A beautiful fire,
Katherine, beautiful.

Everything will burn
and fly up and up and up.

You haven't changed, hurry.

What are you doing?
Put that down!

Please, Katherine. Please,
please, Katherine, just this one,

my zebra. You know how difficult
it was for me to find. Please.

No! You are to change your clothes
and then leave the house by the kitchen.

Please, Katherine,
my zebra, please.

Your ring! Why didn't
you do what I said?

You wouldn't
let me start the fire.

You've got to go back upstairs

and put that ring on
his finger right away!

If I hadn't noticed it, our
whole plan might have failed.

Katherine, look.

Pull it off,
hurry. Hurry!

I can't, it's on too tight.

Pull it!
Pull it!

It won't pull off.

Katherine, what are we going
to do? It's got initials on it.

Here, let me take it off.

Katherine, we got to leave
here, never mind about him.

No, they're sure
to notice the ring.

They'll know it isn't you.
There'll be an investigation.

Mr. Jorgy!
Mr. Jorgy!

Mr. Jorgy! Wake up! Wake up!

We haven't got time, let's go...

Dear, we've got to take
him with us. Mr. Jorgy!

Hurry! Help me, Fitz!

Come on, Mr. Jorgy, sit...

My bird, I've got to
save my bird.

Now, Fitz! Fitz, I can't carry
him, I don't have the strength.

You've got to help me.

But what about my bird?

I'll get him. Hurry, Fitz!

Come along, Mr. Jorgy.
Come along, sit up.

Sit up, that's right. Here, put
an arm around my shoulder.

Come on, now.
Come on.

We're only going for a walk.

That's right.

Number two hose. Come on,
boys, check that last roof over there.

Come on!
On the double, let's go!

It's all my fault.
I'm a jinx.

Drink some of this coffee,
Mr. Oldham, it'll make you feel better.

You take care of
Mr. Jorgy. He needs it more.

Aw, that's just like you,
never thinking of yourself.

You're a real hero,
Mr. Oldham.

Yes, I am, aren't I?

May I have
a cup of coffee, please?

Yes, of course.

Is everyone here, all right?

Fine, thank you, fine.

That was mighty
fast thinking, sir.

He's a real hero.

Well, somebody had to do it. See, Mr. Jorgy
was overcome with smoke and my sister...

Well, you know how
women are in an emergency.

Poor Katherine, she
always loses her head.

I thought I'd better
get out of there.

I just remembered that my
tumbrel is double parked.

I shall return next week at the
same time to bring you another story,

and to relate the further
adventures of Alfred Hitchcock.

Good night.
