"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" "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"
