"Are you afraid of the flash, Mrs. byrnes?" "Yes, it's the flash." "She's right." "I've heard it can hurt a baby's eyes." "I love babies, and unlike some people, I wouldn't hurt one." "I don't use a flash." "I get my effects by improvising with what light is available." "You understand, Mrs. byrnes?" "Yes." "Well, then, let's have some candids" "In the baby's room, shall we?" "[Shutter clicks]" "Woman:" "Good baby." "Oh, that's a sweet baby." "Smile." "Oh, yeah, baby." "Oh, such a sweet baby." "Yes." "Yes." "Oh, what a good boy." "Oh, such a good boy."

"Always I am careful who I let in, Mrs. byrnes..." "Shut up and listen." "Especially that photographer." "The one who came round to the house." "Do you remember?" "Certainly." "If he comes around, don't let him in." "Something is wrong?" "Get that cat away from the baby!" "There's a carrying box in the hall closet." "Lock prissy up inside it." "It's a good idea." "I've always said to keep animals away from children." "Do it!" "Shut up and do it!" "And don't let anyone into the house" "Until I get back with Mr. byrnes." "I'm picking him up on the way back." "[Engine turns over]" "Two minutes to air time, people." "Joe, will you swing in the other sound boom, please?" "[Siren wailing]" "Cathy, I know why you didn't tell me this before," "And I understand." "And don't worry." "Everything is going to be all right." "The baby is going to be all right." "Man:" "Mr. byrnes!" "[Groaning]" "Oh, Jackie." "Ahhh!" "Yeah." "Yeah, okay." "Rig the phone taps to the van." "I'll expect it on-station within the hour." "I want round-the-clock surveillance, you got that?" "Mr. byrnes?" "I am sorry." "I did not admit this man." "I open door only a crack to receive the photographs." "Then I am seized and forced to let him in." "I insist, I am not responsible." "Good luck, Ilsa." "If we have any questions, we know how to reach you." "All right." "Now, what is going on?" "Man:" "Well, someone may spot him from the bulletin," "But I won't bet on it." "He's been too cute." "We just have to sit tight" "Until he attempts to contact." "Look, it's no use eating yourself up." "It's not your fault." "The hell it isn't." "It was only for my sake" "My wife tried to handle this herself." "Now, I want the truth." "What kind of a chance do I have?" "Well, it depends on what he wants." "We know what he wants." "He told Cathy he wanted her to kill the baby." "That's too nutty." "Even for a nut, that's too nutty." "Well, let's assume it's true." "That's good." "That means he won't do anything" "To hurt that baby himself." "Now, look, somewhere out there," "A lunatic is walking around with little Jackie." "Now, why the hell" "Can't one person in San Francisco" "See a lunatic walking around with a baby?" "Holy mother, am I dense." "Your wife had the maid" "Stick that cat in the carrying box, right?" "Has anyone seen that box around this house?" "Special agent menchell here." "I want to revise that apb." "It's a man carrying a baby in a cat box." "Right." "Now let's hope your son does a little crying." "There we are, junior." "All nice and dry again." "[Sneezes]" "Oops." "[Crying and screaming]" "Now..." "Nighty-night." "What's that?" "Uh-huh." "Good, good." "Positive identification, huh?" "Thank you." "Bull's-eye." "That figured." "What figured?" "When you had that operation, Mrs. byrnes," "The doctor's name was parkington, wasn't it?" "Well, he just did what I asked." "I don't want to make any trouble for him." "No one will be bothering Dr. parkington." "All right." "Now, what's the point of this?" "We have a truck" "In the driveway across the street." "Why don't you walk over with us?" "I'll show you how it's set up." "A truck?" "I think you might feel better." "We have surveillance from every angle." "Go on." "I'll be fine." "All right." "Perhaps you had better lie down and get some rest." "[Door closes]" "Wait a minute." "Then he really has nothing to lose." "There's no sense your wife knowing about it." "That's why we got you out here." "Come on." "Let's just keep walking." "Okay, Mr. byrnes." "This is our tape set up there." "Mr. Richards." "Mr. Richards!" "Yes?" "I should have told you when you took this room" "There was no pets allowed." "Oh." "Well, that's too bad." "Well, all right." "I know a friend who can get rid of it for me." "[Telephone ringing]" "Hello?" "Kenneth:" "* bye-bye, baby bunting * daddy's gone a-hunting * * to get a little rabbit skin * * to wrap the baby bunting in *" "Trace." "He's waiting for you, cath." "Please don't hurt him." "Are you alone?" "Yes." "Please don't hurt him." "Listen carefully," "And when I'm finished, don't hang up." "Leave the line open" "So I know you're not trying to call the police." "Yes, I'll do anything." "Is he with you now?" "I told you, he's waiting for you, cath." "Take your station wagon." "I'll recognize it." "Drive South to lowry road." "Go about a mile." "Turn right across the railroad tracks," "Then slow down to 10 Miles an hour." "You'll see me, cath." "Don't hang up the phone, okay?" "I'm leaving now." "Unmarked cars," "Vicinity of lowry road and s.P. Tracks." "Use utmost caution." "I've got to help her." "You damn fool." "It's what we've been waiting for." "Okay." "[Engine sputtering]" "[Engine turns over]" "[Tires screeching]" "Ahh!" "Ahh!" "[Gasping]" "Ahhhh!" "[Whistling "daddy's gone a-hunting"]" "You bastard!" "You insane, perverted bastard!" "See how easy it is, cath?" "You do it." "[Sobbing]" "Darling." "No, no." "No, baby, no." "Did you trace the call?" "Phone booth, embarcadero section." "We got it five minutes after he hung up." "You've been watching this place night and day." "Now, how the hell did daly get the chance" "To come back here and plant that doll?" "The station wagon hadn't been moved." "He must have put it there when he took your boy." "That means it's been there over 24 hours." "Jack." "I'm having a little trouble" "Giving Cathy her shot." "Do you want to talk to her?" "You could use a little rest yourself." "Think she'll crack up on us?" "I'm no psychiatrist, Lou, but nobody can take" "What he's putting her through." "You know, she might just really do it" "If she got the chance." "There's a way out." "[Telephone rings]" "[Rings]" "Cathy:" "Yes." "Kenneth:" "Hi, cath." "Old me again." "I'm just a teeny bit worried about our tot." "I'm low on formula and running out of diapers," "And I don't dare go shopping," "'Cause I guess all the stores are staked out." "Could you bring me in formula and stuff?" "I'd be glad to, Ken." "Where will I meet you?" "Well, now, that's a bit of a problem." "Did you ever tell Jack about our snowball?" "No." "Remember that first time, where I clobbered you?" "We'll take a walk down memory Lane, cath." "You meet me there at exactly 8:00 tonight," "Inside of where that was outside of." "I figure the cops are listening to this," "But it doesn't matter." "They won't know where I'm talking about" "Unless you tell them." "I won't tell them." "Better not, cath." "If you bring anyone with you," "Well, you'll be responsible" "For the ugly consequences, not me." "8:00." "Bring formula and everything." "We'll be seeing you, cath." "Well, it's almost 6:00." "I'll take a train in, alone." "Please excuse me." "I have to pack up the stuff." "And please call me a cab." "Daly made fools out of us with that doll stunt." "She doesn't trust us anymore," "In which I have to include you, Mr. byrnes." "Cathy, you can't do this." "You cannot beat that maniac alone." "I must." "I know him." "All right." "Then at least tell us where." "Agents can be placed so no one will ever know." "Can they guarantee that?" "Can they give us back our baby" "If something goes wrong?" "No." "Jack, please understand." "Cathy, you just cannot do this." "There's no other way." "If I let you follow me and the baby was killed," "Kenneth would have won." "Then I'd be directly responsible" "For killing Jackie." "[Distant horn honks]" "There's my taxi." "I'm catching the 6:42." "Do you give me your word of honor" "You won't have me followed?" "Yes." "Snowball." "Snowball." "Where he threw the snowball." "Yes." "Who did she know at the time?" "Who were her pals when she first hit the city?" "Let's see." "Meg..." "Meg stone." "And last night, she told me about a psychiatrist," "A Dr. blanker." "Well, come on." "Let's get moving." "We promised her we wouldn't follow her." "We won't." "We'll try to get there ahead of her." "We got a copter waiting." "We'll be in the city in 20 minutes." "[Horn honks]" "Man:" "Train number 99, from Los Angeles," "Is now arriving in San Francisco" "On track number 10." "Train number 126, we are boarding." "All aboard." "Are you free?" "That's right." "[Engine turns over]" "[Tugboat horn blowing]" "[Bell ringing]" "Go ahead, please, quickly." "Please!" "[Sighs]" "Drop me off near market street," "Please, driver." "Snowball." "That strikes a chord." "It was back at the very beginning," "The first time she met Kenneth." "So she finally got up nerve enough to tell you." "That's right." "That louse bopped her with a snowball." "That's how he picked her up." "Where?" "Meg:" "I think she had just come into the air terminal." "We haven't had snow here in years." "How could he hit her with a snowball?" "Don't ask me to solve riddles, mister." "That's where it was." "[Crying and screaming]" "I know you're hungry, but don't worry." "You'll have a little nap," "And then mommy will be here." "Mommy will be here with a nice, full bottle." "[Crying stops]" "Man:" "Catherine Palmer," "Please come to the information desk." "Catherine Palmer to the information desk, please." "Excuse me." "I'm Catherine Palmer." "There's a phone call for you." "Kenneth?" "Cathy?" "Walk around the corner" "To the curran theater on geary street." "Buy one orchestra seat for tonight's performance," "And don't miss the curtain." "Mrs. byrnes has left the airlines terminal." "She's at the corner of o'Farrell and Taylor." "Subject proceeding on foot." "Rounding the corner onto geary street." "There you are, ma'am." "One orchestra seat, please." "Lady, can't you read?" "We've got nothing." "Oh, please." "It's important." "Would you just step aside?" "Two for "Chester." That's $15." "[Telephone ringing]" "Please, will you sell me your ticket?" "No." "Please, I'll pay you anything." "No, thank you." "[Ringing continues]" "Hello?" "Sorry about the tickets, cath." "I doubt if you'd enjoy it, anyway." "There's a curtain on your right" "That leads to the alley." "Use it." "Hold your positions." "She's gone into the theater." "Psst." "Psst." "Come on." "Evening, Mr. Conrad." "Mm-hmm." "[Baby crying]" "Didn't I tell you?" "Mommy's here." "Please, can I hold him?" "When you feed him." "Did you bring the stuff?" "Of course." "You can heat it over there." "She couldn't get a ticket." "She went out a side door into the alley." "Come on." "[Crying]" "I don't really see" "How this is going to help us, Kenneth." "God moves in mysterious ways," "His wonders to perform." "They may have gone in here." "It's shut tight." "Flush around the edges." "The hotel entrance is around the corner." "Let's look." "[Baby crying]" "He's hungry." "Better not keep him waiting." "Do you want some help with that?" "I've got it." "You can take him now, cath." "[Screaming]" "Oh, baby." "Oh, there." "Listen." "He wants it." "My baby." "Quickly, Cathy." "He's hungry." "He's very hungry." "Quickly, Cathy." "Feed him, Cathy." "Come on." "He's hungry." "Hurry up." "You were at the house." "You've put something in them." "All of them!" "Feed your baby." "Feed him!" "Ahh!" "[Grunts]" "[Dinging]" "All right, all right." "Police officers." "Have you seen this man?" "[Baby crying]" "Ahh!" "[Sighs]" "There he is!" "The key!" "The key!" "Okay, okay." "Step back." "Step back!" "Police officers." "Step back!" "[Indistinct conversations]" "What was that room number?" "409." "There he is!" "We got him!" "[Siren wailing]" "Break it up." "Come on!" "[Trolley bell dings]" "[Bell dinging]" "[Ringing bell]" "[Ringing bell]" "[Baby crying]" "[Crying continues]" "Hey, what's in there?" "It sounds like a kid." "Woman:" "Hey, whatcha got in there, mister?" "Jesus, I think there's a baby in there." "Man:" "Where you going with that?" "Hey!" "[Baby crying]" "That guy's got a baby in the box." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "You better call somebody." "Maybe the police." "There's a man carrying a baby in a box" "Heading up California street." "[Siren wailing]" "He went that way." "He went up the hill." "[Siren wailing]" "Man:" "This is k.U.I. 5317 calling 050." "This is k.U.I. 5317..." "[Siren wailing]" "Suspect seen entering mark Hopkins hotel." "Seen entering mark Hopkins." "Good." "Let's go." "[Thinking] Heights are meant to be scaled, Cathy." "Come on." "Up the matterhorn." "You'll make it to the top." "If you bring anyone with you," "Well, you'll be responsible for the ugly consequences." "[Siren wailing]" "He's in, and he can't get out." "Okay, nice and easy." "We'll start at the ground floor" "And the top floor." "Please see what's going on." "I feel fine." "Top of the mark." "Cathy!" "Cathy!" "Good evening, mademoiselle." "Can I help you?" "No, thank you." "I'm meeting someone." "Do you know where they are?" "I think I know where to find him." "Very well." "Thank you." "Kenneth?" "Kenneth, I'm coming." "Cathy!" "Cathy, come back!" "Don't be a damn fool, Mrs. byrnes." "I'm the only one that can end this." "It's between us." "I did kill his baby." "We're waiting, Cathy." "Bring her down." "Jack:" "Let her go." "I said let her go!" "Follow the leader, huh?" "[Sirens wailing]" "Is Hutchins on the roof of the Fairmont yet?" "Man:" "He'll be there in a moment." "Well, get him in position." "[Sirens wailing]" "[Baby crying softly]" "That's terrific, cath." "Isn't it amazing how neither of us" "Is afraid of anything anymore?" "I'm so ashamed of how I acted before, Kenneth." "I guess I must have been crazy or something." "I forgive you." "No hard feelings between old friends." "[Siren wailing]" "[Baby crying]" "We made it, cath." "To the top of the world." "It was meant to be like this, Kenneth." "I guess we were always meant for each other." "Give me the baby." "I'll throw him down." "Then I'll divorce Jack, and I'll marry you." "It will work out." "I'm not sure, Cathy." "It's an unjust world." "They might not understand." "They might be mad at you for killing the baby" "And try and put you in jail." "Of course not." "Not when I explain I did it for love." "You do love me, Cathy?" "Only me?" "You realize that at last?" "[Baby crying]" "Let me prove it to you, Kenneth." "Let go of the box, and I'll prove it." "If only I could be sure, i..." "All right." "[Siren wailing]" "Let go of it, Cathy!" "Drop it!" "Ahh!" "Let go!" "Drop it, and I'll catch you, darling," "And we'll have a dozen more together." "Drop it!" "Ahh!" "Aaahhhh!" "Ahh!" "Help!" "Ahh!" "Ahh!" "Aaaahhhhh!" "[Gasping]" "* bye, goodbye * to the face in the mirror * asking why I must move ahead" "* bye to all that used to be" "* bye, goodbye * bye, goodbye"
