"[Water running]" "Ugh!" "[Gasps]" "[Water running]" "[Groans]" "[Radio noise]" "RADIO ANNOUNCER:" "Murderess Janis Long," "Who escaped from the Richmond Institute" "For the Criminally Insane Monday night is still at large." "Yesterday, an official statement by Richmond's Governor Dave" "Brooks caused quite a stir among the relatives of the guard" "Who was killed in the incident." "Mr. Brooks told the press, Long's escape" "Was partly due to human failure." "That ends this special bulletin." "We will now return you to our normal broadcast." "[Car door]" "I've just received your letter." "Tomorrow afternoon?" "Fine." "I'll be there." "Thank you." "Bye." "Now I understand why you were against Steven" "And me splitting up." "Because you want him to be my bodyguard." "Am I right?" "To be honest with you, ma, I feel a lot" "Safer without that bastard." "[Explosion]" "Jesus." "[Clock chimes]" "Easy now." "Just a few bruises." "You've been in an accident." "Do you remember?" "There were three of you." "The car." "[Coughing]" "Where are they?" "I could only get one." "Who?" "A man or a woman?" "A man." "He is still unconscious, but I think..." "Where?" "I took him upstairs." "My guest room." "The two of you were next to the car." "The other one, a woman, was still in the car." "There was nothing I could do for her." "I'm sorry." "I'm Barbara, Barbara Anderson." "I was just going to sleep when I heard an explosion." "When I went to check it out, I saw you lying there." "Yeah, I heard her screaming." "I saw a hand in the flame." "It was the black." "It was like, all of the sudden there was a tree," "Growing out of the road." "A snow white tree, in the middle of the road." "Calm down." "That will come later." "We never pick up hitchhikers." "I don't know why Jack suddenly did." "Jack, he's my husband." "I'm Ruth, Ruth Segal." "And the woman's name was..." "I can't remember." "I want to see Jack." "Later." "You both need to rest now." "Does he know I'm here?" "Jack is still unconscious." "But don't worry." "He's bound to come to soon." "His breathing is steady." "And as far as I can see, he hasn't broken anything." "You were both lucky." "Everything happened so quickly." "I almost choked on all that smoke and heat." "I was barely able to get Jack out of the car." "And then the explosion." "That's the last thing I remember." "You saved his life." "Wait, I'll fill up your glass again." "Or would you like something stronger?" "The police?" "I haven't had time to call them yet." "Perhaps we better wait a while." "Don't you think?" "BARBARA:" "Afterwards, we went for a drink." "I don't have a driver's license." "I wanted to call a cab." "Jack, he wouldn't let me." "I should have made him." "If he has to take a blood test now," "We will lose everything... our friends," "Our business, everything we built up over the years." "Our clients..." "Important clients..." "Politicians and businessmen, if they" "Know that he's responsible for the death of that" "Girl... (CRYING) I'm to blame." "It's my fault." "I don't think we need to call a doctor just yet." "Jack's condition seems stable." "And besides, I was a nurse for awhile... first aid" "And that kind of stuff." "Actually, you couldn't have fallen into better hands." "Do you know that?" "And as far as the police are concerned," "I think it's best for you to... to get a good rest" "Before you have to answer all sorts of difficult questions." "Tomorrow, we can deal with the rest." "Come on, I'll take you to your room." "Jack?" "First, we're going to put you in a tub and clean clothes." "But maybe he's regained consciousness." "And if he has, you don't want to face him looking like this," "Do you?" "OK, you win." "The bathroom is over there." "[Door squeaks]" "No, the door here." "That's my darkroom, my sanctuary." "I don't want people seeing my work by accident." "Just the things I've selected myself." "So, now we're going to start rehabilitating you." "[Screeching brakes]" "[Screams]" "Ruth is here." "You both had a lucky escape." "Really." "But she was so dirty I told her to take a bath first." "She will be here any minute." "If you tell me where it hurts, then I can give you something." "Doctor." "Doctor." "Doctor is coming tomorrow." "For the time being, you will have to make do with me." "So now, tell me where it hurts." "[Groans]" "I gave you something to ease the pain." "In the beginning it will hurt a little bit." "I'll get the glass of water." "Jack?" "Ruth?" "Ruth?" "Where's Ruth?" "Hey!" "Wake up." "It's me." "God dammit." "Why did you insist on driving, you son of a bitch." "God dammit." "I told you to call a cab." "I suppose you don't remember that either." "What's going on here?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, forgive me." "Don't." "Don't." "Otherwise, [inaudible]." "So, what was all that about?" "Well, he didn't recognize me." "The first thing he asked me when he saw me is, where's Ruth." "[Chokes]" "Well, he certainly needed that." "Trees came up fast, and bridge." "Then [inaudible]." "Do you remember who was in the car with you?" "A hitchhiker?" "Why were we there?" "We went to the opening of Max's exhibition." "Remember?" "Maxfield Cobb?" "The [inaudible]?" "Max." "You were on the way back." "I remember something, somebody by the side of the road." "And you took her along, a hitchhiker." "We did?" "Ruth says that you don't recognize her." "I'm sorry, darling." "I'm sorry." "Listen, at the hospital I saw a lot of people who suffered" "From amnesia after an accident." "Some things they couldn't remember, other things" "They could." "But it was always temporary." "So, what you need most is sleep." "I think you better sleep in a different room tonight." "I'll keep an eye on him." "Ruth." "I'm sorry." "I'll do my best." "You heard what Barbara said." "Sleep first." "Barbara?" "Yes?" "Do you live here alone?" "Yes." "It's enormous, isn't it?" "My dad bought it when we moved here from Sweden." "My mother and my sister and I hated it," "But it was a very important promotion" "For my father... managing director of his company's" "Biggest branch." "Of course, you can't pass on that." "They made ice cream, but we never got to eat it at home." "When my father died, my mother moved." "Not back to Sweden, that was too long ago for all of us." "My mother felt that the house had become too big for her." "But she kept it on for me, until I was old enough" "To live here on my own." "But it's so quiet here." "Oh, but I often have friends staying over." "And anyway, I'm not even here for a large part of the year." "After I stopped being a nurse, I started traveling." "And then automatically my hobby became" "My profession... photography." "Geysers in Greenland, the Amazon, Mongolia." "I've been everywhere." "Actually, I just got back." "I'll show you some of my work sometime." "Good night." "[Thunder]" "[Door buzzer]" "So, you're absolutely sure that you didn't hear anything?" "Please, do sit down." "I went to bed early, but I did wake up" "At one point from something, a noise in the distance." "But I never really gave it a thought." "It sounded like a thunder clap, anyway." "Approximately what time was that?" "What?" "What time did you wake up from the explosions?" "I don't know exactly." "I think around 10 o'clock." "And the driver and the people in the car, how are they?" "Well, we did find one person at the scene of the accident." "Unfortunately, since they're dead," "They won't be able to tell us anything." "Apart from the noise that work you up," "Was there anything else afterwards?" "No, afterwards I fell sleep again." "If you'll excuse me, I'll get myself a drink." "Should I have?" "Excuse me?" "Should I have noticed anything?" "The car was registered to a Mister Segal." "Trouble is, the body we found was that of a woman." "Want to join me?" "No, thanks." "The woman you found, you think she's his wife?" "Well, we're not sure of that." "As a matter of fact, we discovered that Missus Segal" "Does not have a driver's license, and Mister Segal" "Cannot be located at this time." "So you think that that man crawled out of his car" "After the accident to get help for his wife." "Well, I'm sure that's a possibility." "But like I said, we're not sure that the body we found" "Is that of Mister Segal." "But it is very possible that he's wandering the area?" "What a situation." "I understand why this couldn't wait until morning." "Oh, yes." "I wanted to ask you, my mother is" "Quite concerned about..." "Well, never mind." "It's not important." "No, no." "Please tell us." "It's our duty to put your mind at ease." "Well, it's about that woman that escaped from the clinic..." "Um, Gladys, what's her name?" "Janis, Janis Long." "She escaped from the Richmond Institute." "She's out of our district." "Oh, I see." "Well, my mother is afraid that she might be" "Lurking around here somewhere." "Anyhow, I'm not the type that scares easily." "Yes, yes, I'm sure of that." "But if I were you, I wouldn't worry it." "Our colleagues are working very hard on it right now." "As a matter of fact, about 10 people are working" "On it right this minute." "If you see or hear anything strange," "You just give us a call, and we'll send someone over." "[Knocking]" "Come on in." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I didn't know..." "Come on." "Come on, we don't have any secrets from each other." "Thank you, for last night." "That." "So you heard then." "Sit down, you can throw those off." "I promised you that I wouldn't say anything, didn't I?" "And they weren't being really difficult." "I thought it was all kind of exciting." "Jack is still asleep." "He was really sick last night." "He was complaining about a stomach ache." "That must have been from all that liquor." "I wouldn't worry about that." "Could you give me my cigarettes and lighter there?" "In my pocket." "Did they ask anything special?" "Anything special?" "No." "Just if noticed anything of the accident." "I told them that I was asleep when it happened," "And that I thought it was a thunder crack that woke me up." "But they didn't mention our names, or that of the women?" "Segal." "They knew that much." "But they haven't figured out yet who the woman was." "Other than that, they just wanted" "Know whether I had seen or heard anything of the accident." "You know what we'll do?" "We first check on Jack to see if needs anything," "Then I'll fix you guys a hearty breakfast and call the doctor." "Could you hand me that towel?" "Yes." "Go on." "Dry me off." "Not that like." "Rub, nice and hard so it turns red." "Yes, like that." "Just like old days, remember?" "Excuse me?" "Come on." "I can do it myself." "But if you call the doctor now, and he tells the police," "They'll still find out that Jack and I were here last night." "And then they'll want to know why you didn't say anything." "Well, I don't know anything." "All I know is that this morning I was woken up by a man" "And a woman who were in an accident, went to get help," "And got lost." "I fixed them up a little bit, and immediately called" "A doctor." "Isn't that the way it happened?" "Why are you doing this for us?" "I'll tell you sometime." "One thing." "Make sure Jack also remembers it like that." "OK?" "BARBARA:" "Of course everything is all right, mom." "I even got friends staying over for a couple of days." "So you don't have to worry about me being alone." "I'm going now, mom." "I promise to make breakfast." "Bye." "Yes?" "That's what I told you." "I have guests." "Just friends." "No, I don't think you ever met him." "Mom?" "The water is boiling." "Got a minute?" "[Dial tone]" "[Vomits]" "Jack?" "Are you still in pain?" "This, I can hardly see." "Everything is a blur." "My eyes..." "Are you in worse pain than you were last night?" "Yeah, I have to get out of here." "My stomach feels like it's being torn apart." "My eyes..." "Barbara promised she would call the doctor." "It's all the drugs she's been giving me." "We have to get out of here now." "Shh-shh." "Jack says that he can hardly see," "And his stomach is troubling him." "Surely, that can't be from the accident." "Maybe he does have a mild concussion." "We see what the doctor says." "The doctor is coming." "I made a nice breakfast for you in the kitchen." "Anyway, there's nothing you can do here now." "Wait for the doctor." "It was the doctor who asked me to go" "Ahead and give you a sedative." "Now, be brave." "And you are going to go downstairs." "I didn't make that coffee for nothing." "Shit." "[Groans]" "[Knocks]" "I'm sure everything will be OK." "I think I'll go for a walk in the meantime." "He could be here any moment." "I won't go far." "I'm not letting you out the door" "Before you put something in your stomach." "Oh, I can't eat a single bit." "He's been writhing in pain the whole goddamn night." "Well, that's no reason for you to go on a hunger strike." "Anyway, it appears to be worse than what it really is." "A mild concussion, a couple of bruises, that's all." "Go ahead, drink, well?" "Good." "You used to drink only tea with three spoons of sugar." "Would you like to see my pictures?" "I kept them for you." "No one else has seen them yet." "Later." "First I would like to..." "I only put a little bit in." "Of course, it was a lot less than with him." "I knew you would come back one day, Isabel." "It's just that there's so much crap you have to get rid of." "But don't worry, your little sister will pull you through." "You... you're insane." "Who's Isabel?" "No, I'm not insane." "I care for you." "I'm proud of you." "Wait." "Me, you can trust." "Not that animal upstairs." "I've kept the pictures very carefully." "I just knew that one day you'd come back." "Almost, just a little further." "So what do you think?" "You're the first one to enter my sanctuary." "Like I told you, I love pictures... making them," "Looking at them..." "It's like a diary." "But these are not important right now." "Come." "Sit down." "Well, here's the whole family history." "What's that doing here?" "I'll put it in its place right away." "I want everything to be in perfect order." "You're tired, aren't you?" "You know what?" "You just get some rest, and then later on" "We'll do something fun." "But I won't let you run away again." "[Punches]" "[Crack]" "Do it again and I'll break every bone in your body." "[Sobs]" "[Phone rings]" "BARBARA (ON PHONE):" "Hello?" "Hello." "Uh, Miss Anderson?" "This is Officer Loomis." "Remember, we met at your house last night?" "Yes." "What can I do for you?" "Well, I hope I'm not disturbing you." "No, no, no." "That's all right." "But I'm afraid I don't have any news for you." "A-ha." "But I have news for you." "You mean that it actually wasn't" "His wife they found in the car, and that they're" "Both still missing?" "I read it in the paper." "Well, fortunately we know more than that now." "Seems like the body we found in the car was that of Janis Long." "Remember we talked about her yesterday?" "Oh, my god." "Well, I knew you were a bit worried about it," "And I thought..." "My mother will be so relieved." "She nearly had a fit when she read of the woman" "Escaping from the asylum." "If there's anything else, I'll let you know." "Good bye." "What?" "Caught in the act?" "Of what?" "Informing the public." "Maybe that's what we're here for, right?" "Ha-ha." "[Pounding]" "Jesus Christ, where the hell am I?" "Ah, shit." "Stop!" "Susie?" "It's me, Red." "You've got to help me out." "I'm lost." "Hah!" "No, I'm not out of gas." "I'm lost." "What the hell?" "Nothing, nothing." "I thought I saw something." "No, please." "Leave Barry out of it." "He's on my ass enough." "Next time I'll bring a survival kit." "Yeah." "Yeah, I'll go on looking, don't worry." "See you later." "In a year or three." "If I'm lucky." "Ohh." "Mmmm." "Mmmm." "OK." "OK, don't panic." "Step by step." "There's no sense in rushing this." "[Grunts]" "I haven't got all day." "[Slaps]" "Come on." "I know you can hear me." "At last." "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "[Door buzzer]" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "[Screams]" "[Alarms sounds]" "[Alarm off]" "That really gave you a shock, didn't it." "Like putting your fingers in a socket." "You will be on your feet in just a few seconds." "No more foolishness, you hear?" "I have to take care of a few more things," "But when I get back, we will have more time to ourselves." "So you haven't changed at all." "Still nosey." "[Glass breaking]" "Hello?" "This is Barbara Anderson." "You promised me yesterday my order would be" "Delivered today at 2 o'clock." "Well, it's almost 4:00 now." "No, otherwise I wouldn't have to call you." "A car phone?" "Whatever you think best, but please hurry." "I've other things to do." "OK." "Looks like we got an epidemic on our hands." "Maybe we ought to arrest all the damn driving" "Instructors around here." "What's that?" "His address list for today's deliveries." "Your friend is on it." "Anderson?" "Kind of weird, don't you think?" "I mean, yesterday someone crashes into a tree" "Nearly on her doorstep." "Turns out to be a serial killer." "And today this." "It's a coincidence, what else?" "Maybe." "Oh, I see." "You think she has some remote control device" "That makes cars crash, right?" "Very funny." "So what do you mean?" "Just forget it, OK?" "I'm just looking for an explanation." "Explanation?" "That's simple." "There's no connection between the two accidents," "Whatsoever, OK?" "This may hurt a little bit, but you" "Should grin and bear it, OK?" "[Grunts]" "Come on, it's not that bad." "It will be over real soon." "[Screaming]" "[Phone rings]" "Hello?" "Yes." "Oh, my god." "Is he?" "I'm so sorry." "Yes, of course." "Tomorrow afternoon." "That would be fine." "OK." "Bye." "Do you remember how we used to bathe together?" "We were so close then." "Especially when you washed my hair." "Only you thought I didn't like it, because I always rubbed" "My back against your body." "The more I moved, the angrier you got." "[Inaudible]" "That felt so good." "Even then, I sometimes outsmarted you." "Together we can do anything we want." "Do you know that?" "Everything we missed, without anyone coming between us." "Actually, we're just like twins." "We feel the same way, do the same things." "[Coughing]" "I talk too much, I know." "You have every right to fall asleep on me." "But I've so much I still have to show you." "Graves produce the strongest and most beautiful flowers." "Remember?" "I suppose you forgot all that, huh?" "Just like city folk." "They buy their flowers at market and put them in vases." "They may look alike, but they're already dead." "That's why they wither so fast." "But here, it's different." "You know why?" "Because the flower absorbs the soul of the dead person" "Underneath." "The immortal soul..." "They become one." "You don't believe me, huh?" "Come on, I'll show you what I mean." "This is Steven." "His whole body was... well, you know what men are like." "Hairy, ponderous, and that filthy thing." "But when the flowers start to blossom," "You just smell heavenly." "[Banging]" "Elmore here caused me a lot of trouble." "I could hardly get a needle through his skin," "Even when he was asleep." "He was a tough one." "Let's see, where's James?" "Or shall I introduce you to Bobby first?" "[Phone ringing]" "Hello?" "Yeah, I got everything right here." "Thanks." "You know, this reminds me of the Ten Little Indians." "First day in October, Missus Anderson dies," "Followed by her daughter a month later." "And then in December, daddy disappears." "Imagine what that little girl must have gone through." "Yeah." "All right, I'll see you later, Bill." "Thanks again." "Wait a minute." "[Banging]" "When you were gone, daddy said I couldn't" "Sleep upstairs anymore." "I had to stay down here so I wouldn't run off like you did." "I managed to make it quite cozy, don't you think so?" "I took your records as well." "I hope you don't mind." "They were useless to you anyway." "[Music playing]" "Do you remember what daddy used to say?" "That child can ruin anything just by looking at it." "But mommy always stood up for me." "She always cleaned up my mess when daddy wasn't looking." "And then she kissed me as well." "You know, Isabel, when she was dying," "I thought it was my fault, like I had broken her as" "Well, just by looking at her." "I thought that was why daddy won't let me near her." "Finally, I couldn't stand it any more," "And I went to see her anyway." "Then I knew she loved me just as much as before she got ill." "I told you, it's your time to do the dishes." "Before she died, mommy asked you to take" "Care of us, of daddy and me." "You remember, don't you?" "I missed her so much, and I hated daddy." "Luckily, he was away most of the time." "You were so sweet." "I hoped that one day, daddy wouldn't come home at all," "So I could have you all to myself." "But then it all changed." "I never saw you again." "After a while, I asked daddy where you had gone." "You know what he told me?" "He told me you got sick and joined mommy." "Of course, I knew he lied." "He sent you away because you didn't want to do the things he" "And mommy used to do together." "I didn't tell him I knew, but I could feel he didn't trust me." "Like he was afraid I would run away" "And tell somebody the truth." "And then suddenly I wasn't allowed" "To leave the house anymore." "I had to stay down here all day with the door locked." "I wasn't even allowed to go upstairs to eat." "He brought my food down here." "[Banging]" "Then I knew I was right all along." "He was scared I would tell somebody the truth." "Or that I might go looking for you." "Well, that's exactly what I had in mind." "But first I had to get out." "Fortunately, he hadn't checked the room to well" "Before looking [inaudible]." "I had read how during the war people sometimes managed" "To escape from camps by digging underground tunnels," "And how they fooled their guards by covering up the hole" "With a table or something." "I thought I could escape like that as well." "But then I got an even better idea." "I figured I could just walk out the door" "Without daddy going after me if I just played it smart." "I had to lure him." "[Screams]" "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." "[Banging]" "Daddy?" "Daddy?" "Ahh!" "Ah, ah." "Ahhhh." "Ruth, help me." "Still, something's not quite right." "One, I mean, what evidence do we have" "That the body that was in the car was actually Janis Long?" "Some, some half burnt clothes, a knife in the glove compartment." "Nothing else." "Two, someone inexplicably drives their car in the ravine," "And again there's this connection with Miss Anderson." "And three, when Loomis and I interrogated Miss Anderson," "She talked about her mother." "Well, as it turns out, her mother has" "Been dead for over 20 years." "Night of surprises, huh?" "Well, I won't keep you in suspense much longer." "Just yourself to blame." "If you had just left me standing there by the side of the road," "You'd be lying safely in bed with your wife right now." "Only a fool would run his car into the side" "Of a bridge at the sight of a hitcher, don't you agree?" "Ruth?" "Where's Ruth?" "What did you do with her?" "The other one?" "My predecessor?" "Don't worry." "She hardly suffered at all." "Can't rely on luck alone." "You have to keep your mind open to that sudden flash" "Of inspiration." "What if Janis Long were to be found dead behind the wheel" "Of a stolen car?" "Scarred beyond recognition, but still," "Everybody could breathe in relief." "Case closed." "We're back to square one, aren't we." "Well, I can still make you disappear." "What do you think?" "A little change of hair, no one would notice from a distance." "[Whines]" "Now wherever could he be?" "Got you." "Well, saves time." "BARBARA (VOICEOVER):" "Oh, yes, I wanted to ask you, um," "My mother is quite concerned about" "LOOMIS (VOICEOVER):" "You want an explanation, that's simple." "There's no connection between the two accidents whatsoever." "WISHMAN (VOICEOVER):" "OK." "[Door buzzes]" "Miss Anderson?" "Yes?" "Your order." "You want me to bring it in?" "No, I'll take it." "Do I need to sign something?" "Matter of fact, you do." "I almost forgot." "Wait." "Thank you." "Oh, the boss told me to thank you for your patience" "And understanding." "Take care." "[Clock chimes]" "Who are you?" "How did you get in?" "Oh." "Um, I'm waiting for Miss Anderson." "You must be a very good friend of hers," "Just to step in like that when there's no one home." "Well, the kitchen door was open and... that's no excuse." "I know." "Not a friend, then." "No relative either." "No." "My car was broken down, and I saw this place" "And I just thought maybe I could come in and call a garage." "But you said you were here for Miss Anderson." "There's no name plate on the kitchen door." "The mechanic said that he was going to be right over," "So I think I'm just going to head back on out to my car." "And again, I'm sorry." "For breaking in like that." "Let's introduce ourselves." "At least you owe me that." "Joyce Williams." "Isabel Anderson." "I'm Barbara's sister." "Ugh." "[Groans]" "Huh?" "Hey." "Let's go, what do you say?" "I wonder what's going to happen to this house now?" "How much do you think it would cost?" "Ha-ha." "So that's what this was all about, huh?" "You don't think I'd risk my life for the fun of it, do you?" "So when do you guys get to go home?" "When the news wears off, I guess." "What are they afraid of, press?" "Maybe some pissed off relatives of the victims, I don't know." "She sure as hell ain't going anywhere." "Well, Miss Long, had a good nap?" "Only the best is going enough for an expert like you." "Oh-oh." "We better clean this first." "What do you say?" "Mm-hmm." "So?" "She eats all right." "But that's about all she does." "Doesn't say a word, just lies there staring at the ceiling." "How would you feel, paralyzed from the shoulders down?" "Is there any chance she'll..." "Whoever messed up her back did a real fine job." "No surgery is ever going to fix that." "You can grow mighty old like this, though." "[Door locks]"
