00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
The Sleeping Dead

00:07.000 --> 00:10.000
The Sleeping Dead

00:10.000 --> 00:13.000
The Sleeping Dead

00:13.000 --> 00:18.000
Dark fantasy.

00:18.000 --> 00:25.000
The Sleeping Dead

00:25.000 --> 00:30.000
The Sleeping Dead

00:30.000 --> 00:35.000
The Sleeping Dead

00:35.000 --> 00:39.000
I just lie quietly, Mr. Wentworth.

00:39.000 --> 00:40.000
Cotton nurse.

00:40.000 --> 00:41.000
Yes, doctor.

00:41.000 --> 00:42.000
And a septic?

00:42.000 --> 00:43.000
Yes.

00:43.000 --> 00:44.000
Pulse?

00:44.000 --> 00:45.000
Normal.

00:45.000 --> 00:46.000
Temperature normal.

00:46.000 --> 00:50.000
How long have you had these symptoms, Mr. Wentworth?

00:50.000 --> 00:52.000
About two weeks.

00:52.000 --> 00:55.000
Have you been walking with a limp as long as two weeks?

00:55.000 --> 00:57.000
Yes, I have.

00:57.000 --> 00:59.000
And did you first notice the injury?

00:59.000 --> 01:02.000
Oh, it must have been six months ago.

01:02.000 --> 01:04.000
Yes, at least that long ago.

01:04.000 --> 01:07.000
There was a slight swelling in the black and blue mark.

01:07.000 --> 01:09.000
Then it disappeared.

01:09.000 --> 01:13.000
I thought nothing more of it until my leg began paining me two weeks ago.

01:13.000 --> 01:15.000
I see.

01:15.000 --> 01:17.000
Is there much pain now?

01:17.000 --> 01:18.000
No, none.

01:18.000 --> 01:21.000
The leg feels numb.

01:21.000 --> 01:23.000
Hmm.

01:23.000 --> 01:25.000
Let me see the x-rays, nurse.

01:25.000 --> 01:26.000
Here they are, doctor.

01:26.000 --> 01:30.000
It got so I couldn't stand on the leg more than an hour at a time,

01:30.000 --> 01:33.000
and I began walking with a cane.

01:33.000 --> 01:36.000
After that, about three weeks ago,

01:36.000 --> 01:39.000
I couldn't put weight on it at all, and I had to buy the crutches.

01:39.000 --> 01:41.000
Who suggested the crutches?

01:41.000 --> 01:42.000
Why, no one.

01:42.000 --> 01:44.000
You should have seen a doctor two months ago.

01:44.000 --> 01:47.000
I didn't suspect that anything was wrong two months ago.

01:47.000 --> 01:52.000
You... you might have saved your leg.

01:52.000 --> 01:54.000
Saved my leg?

01:54.000 --> 01:56.000
Yes.

01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
I'm sorry, Mr. Wentworth.

01:58.000 --> 02:00.000
It will have to be amputated at once.

02:00.000 --> 02:03.000
Oh, no.

02:03.000 --> 02:06.000
Lose my leg.

02:06.000 --> 02:08.000
Lose my leg.

02:08.000 --> 02:11.000
Lose my leg.

02:11.000 --> 02:13.000
No, doctor.

02:13.000 --> 02:15.000
No, you can't. You can't.

02:15.000 --> 02:17.000
I'm afraid, Mr. Wentworth,

02:17.000 --> 02:20.000
it isn't a matter of can or can'ts.

02:20.000 --> 02:23.000
None of us have any choice in the matter now.

02:23.000 --> 02:25.000
Oh, but... but, doctor...

02:25.000 --> 02:28.000
Naturally, I can't compel you to undergo the operation.

02:28.000 --> 02:30.000
The choice is up to you.

02:30.000 --> 02:34.000
But if you refuse, I cannot take your case

02:34.000 --> 02:38.000
or be responsible for your life.

02:38.000 --> 02:40.000
My life?

02:40.000 --> 02:41.000
Yes.

02:41.000 --> 02:43.000
Unless that limb is removed instantly,

02:43.000 --> 02:46.000
I'm afraid, Mr. Wentworth, the poison in your body

02:46.000 --> 02:51.000
will never stop until it has reached your brain.

02:51.000 --> 02:53.000
It's that bad, then?

02:53.000 --> 02:58.000
It's more serious than I can tell you, yes.

02:58.000 --> 03:01.000
Very well, doctor.

03:01.000 --> 03:03.000
Do what you think is best.

03:03.000 --> 03:04.000
Oh, no.

03:04.000 --> 03:06.000
What was that, nurse?

03:06.000 --> 03:09.000
Nothing, Dr. Mason.

03:09.000 --> 03:10.000
Nothing.

03:10.000 --> 03:12.000
Prepare this man for surgery.

03:12.000 --> 03:14.000
Yes, doctor.

03:14.000 --> 03:21.000
Have you any... any people you wish to notify, Mr. Wentworth?

03:21.000 --> 03:24.000
No. No one.

03:24.000 --> 03:27.000
No one who would care.

03:27.000 --> 03:31.000
You have no living relative, do you?

03:31.000 --> 03:33.000
I know.

03:33.000 --> 03:35.000
What makes you ask?

03:35.000 --> 03:37.000
I... I didn't think so.

03:37.000 --> 03:41.000
I mean, we want to be sure relatives are notified

03:41.000 --> 03:43.000
in cases such as this.

03:43.000 --> 03:46.000
No, there's no one.

03:46.000 --> 03:48.000
You'll perform the operation at once.

03:48.000 --> 03:52.000
There, um... there's just one thing I don't understand.

03:52.000 --> 03:54.000
Yes, what's that?

03:54.000 --> 03:56.000
I... I don't know how I got here.

03:56.000 --> 03:58.000
You fainted.

03:58.000 --> 04:03.000
You were found unconscious by... by one of my assistants.

04:03.000 --> 04:05.000
He saw that you needed medical attention,

04:05.000 --> 04:07.000
so he hurried you here.

04:07.000 --> 04:09.000
Your name, doctor?

04:09.000 --> 04:11.000
Mason.

04:11.000 --> 04:13.000
Dr. Clarence Mason.

04:13.000 --> 04:15.000
I see.

04:15.000 --> 04:17.000
And the hospital?

04:17.000 --> 04:20.000
This isn't a hospital.

04:20.000 --> 04:24.000
But... well, then, where am I?

04:24.000 --> 04:27.000
You are at my private sanitarium.

04:27.000 --> 04:29.000
Sanitarium?

04:29.000 --> 04:30.000
Yes.

04:30.000 --> 04:32.000
Now just lie quietly, please.

04:32.000 --> 04:35.000
But which sanitarium?

04:35.000 --> 04:37.000
You might as well know now.

04:37.000 --> 04:40.000
You will sooner or later.

04:40.000 --> 04:43.000
This is Fairchild Sanitarium.

04:43.000 --> 04:46.000
Fairchild?

04:46.000 --> 04:48.000
The sanitarium on the island?

04:48.000 --> 04:49.000
Yes.

04:49.000 --> 04:54.000
But Fairchild has been closed for ten years.

04:54.000 --> 04:55.000
Has it?

04:55.000 --> 04:56.000
Why?

04:56.000 --> 05:00.000
Why, yes, I... I used to work there just before it closed.

05:00.000 --> 05:02.000
Yes, I know.

05:02.000 --> 05:04.000
You do?

05:04.000 --> 05:08.000
Don't you remember me, Wentworth?

05:08.000 --> 05:09.000
No.

05:09.000 --> 05:11.000
No, I've never seen you before.

05:11.000 --> 05:13.000
Certainly you have.

05:13.000 --> 05:15.000
Look at me closely.

05:15.000 --> 05:17.000
Look into my eyes.

05:17.000 --> 05:21.000
Imagine me without this beard.

05:21.000 --> 05:24.000
Picture me as you think I might have looked...

05:24.000 --> 05:28.000
ten years ago.

05:28.000 --> 05:30.000
Holtz.

05:30.000 --> 05:33.000
Abraham Holtz.

05:33.000 --> 05:38.000
You see, you hadn't forgotten me.

05:38.000 --> 05:41.000
But don't you wish you had?

05:41.000 --> 05:43.000
Holtz.

05:43.000 --> 05:46.000
No, it can't possibly be.

05:46.000 --> 05:49.000
Do you remember, Wentworth, that I once told you

05:49.000 --> 05:54.000
nothing is impossible for Abraham Holtz?

05:54.000 --> 05:56.000
It is you, Holtz.

05:56.000 --> 05:57.000
Yes.

05:57.000 --> 06:00.000
I finally caught up with you.

06:00.000 --> 06:01.000
Caught up with me?

06:01.000 --> 06:03.000
Yes.

06:03.000 --> 06:05.000
I warned you ten years ago that you would suffer

06:05.000 --> 06:07.000
for what you did to me.

06:07.000 --> 06:08.000
What I did to you?

06:08.000 --> 06:10.000
Of course.

06:10.000 --> 06:12.000
You thought your testimony against me would give you

06:12.000 --> 06:14.000
a good position at the sanitarium, didn't you?

06:14.000 --> 06:16.000
My testimony against you was given regretfully,

06:16.000 --> 06:18.000
but in good faith.

06:18.000 --> 06:23.000
Good faith, you say.

06:23.000 --> 06:25.000
Good faith, indeed.

06:25.000 --> 06:27.000
You thought by ridding the sanitarium of me,

06:27.000 --> 06:31.000
you would win your way into the good graces of Dr. Van Sickle.

06:31.000 --> 06:34.000
Dr. Van Sickle died about a week after your trial.

06:34.000 --> 06:37.000
Yes.

06:37.000 --> 06:39.000
A pity.

06:39.000 --> 06:42.000
And strange, wasn't it?

06:42.000 --> 06:44.000
What do you mean?

06:44.000 --> 06:48.000
That the man who swore out the charges against me

06:48.000 --> 06:52.000
didn't live two hundred hours afterward.

06:52.000 --> 06:55.000
You.

06:55.000 --> 06:58.000
They said there was something strange about Van Sickle's death,

06:58.000 --> 07:01.000
but whatever it was, it completely baffled the experts.

07:01.000 --> 07:02.000
Yes.

07:02.000 --> 07:04.000
They're so easily baffled.

07:04.000 --> 07:07.000
Poor, stupid nincompoops.

07:07.000 --> 07:09.000
You killed Van Sickle.

07:09.000 --> 07:12.000
Do you think you could prove that Wentworth?

07:12.000 --> 07:15.000
You were supposed to be in the penitentiary at the time.

07:15.000 --> 07:16.000
Yes, and so I was.

07:16.000 --> 07:17.000
What?

07:17.000 --> 07:20.000
I was in the penitentiary.

07:20.000 --> 07:21.000
I am.

07:21.000 --> 07:22.000
Now.

07:22.000 --> 07:24.000
Now?

07:24.000 --> 07:25.000
Now, you say?

07:25.000 --> 07:26.000
Yes.

07:26.000 --> 07:28.000
Yes, indeed.

07:28.000 --> 07:30.000
Did you forget?

07:30.000 --> 07:33.000
My sentence was for life.

07:33.000 --> 07:36.000
I could hardly serve a sentence like that in ten years.

07:36.000 --> 07:38.000
You escaped.

07:38.000 --> 07:40.000
In a sense.

07:40.000 --> 07:42.000
What do you mean?

07:42.000 --> 07:46.000
I haven't the inclination to explain it to you now.

07:46.000 --> 07:51.000
Suffice it to say it has been impossible from the first

07:51.000 --> 07:57.000
to imprison the one whom you first knew as Dr. Abraham Holtz.

07:57.000 --> 08:03.000
How could you be in prison and here at the same time?

08:03.000 --> 08:04.000
Mad.

08:04.000 --> 08:05.000
You're mad.

08:05.000 --> 08:08.000
Completely.

08:08.000 --> 08:13.000
Well, that is probably what the doctors would say, yes.

08:13.000 --> 08:20.000
But I repeat, their plain out-and-out stupidity is as amazing as it is alarming.

08:20.000 --> 08:22.000
I'm getting out of here.

08:22.000 --> 08:24.000
Out of here?

08:24.000 --> 08:26.000
Well, yes, of course.

08:26.000 --> 08:27.000
Go right ahead.

08:27.000 --> 08:29.000
You bet I will.

08:29.000 --> 08:33.000
I'm going to get out of here so fast I...

08:33.000 --> 08:37.000
Well, something delaying you went with?

08:37.000 --> 08:40.000
My leg.

08:40.000 --> 08:43.000
I can't move it.

08:43.000 --> 08:45.000
What have you done to me?

08:45.000 --> 08:51.000
I've merely made it a little inconvenient for you to leave.

08:51.000 --> 08:53.000
You...

08:53.000 --> 08:57.000
You devil.

08:57.000 --> 09:04.000
I think that's what you said, Wentworth, in the courtroom when you testified against me ten years ago.

09:04.000 --> 09:06.000
Remember?

09:06.000 --> 09:09.000
Remember what you said, Wentworth?

09:09.000 --> 09:11.000
I do.

09:11.000 --> 09:15.000
I remember quite distinctly what you said.

09:15.000 --> 09:23.000
You've asked me to testify in this court just what my reaction has been to the practices of Dr. Abraham Holtz.

09:23.000 --> 09:27.000
Well, gentlemen, when I first came to Fairchild Sanitarium,

09:27.000 --> 09:34.000
Dr. Holtz was apparently a normal, capable, practicing surgeon with a very extraordinary ability.

09:34.000 --> 09:37.000
But then, he began to change.

09:37.000 --> 09:39.000
Yes, change.

09:39.000 --> 09:42.000
He ceased to be human.

09:42.000 --> 09:45.000
Yes, he became more like a devil.

09:45.000 --> 09:47.000
That's it.

09:47.000 --> 09:50.000
He became more like a devil.

09:54.000 --> 09:57.000
You remember that, don't you, Wentworth?

09:57.000 --> 10:00.000
I only said what I thought was true.

10:00.000 --> 10:02.000
You did cease to be human.

10:02.000 --> 10:05.000
You treated me and the rest of the interns like we were beasts.

10:05.000 --> 10:07.000
You were like beasts to me.

10:07.000 --> 10:11.000
Suddenly, everyone became beast-like.

10:11.000 --> 10:19.000
Because suddenly, I found myself in a position that put me far above every other human on earth.

10:19.000 --> 10:24.000
Made all mankind to me like beasts are to man.

10:24.000 --> 10:26.000
What do you mean?

10:26.000 --> 10:28.000
Found yourself in a position.

10:28.000 --> 10:31.000
Some time, Wentworth.

10:31.000 --> 10:34.000
Some time soon, perhaps.

10:34.000 --> 10:37.000
You'll know.

10:37.000 --> 10:39.000
Ah, the electric warning.

10:39.000 --> 10:42.000
Someone has just entered the front door of the sanitarium.

10:42.000 --> 10:44.000
I must leave you now, but first...

10:44.000 --> 10:46.000
What are you doing?

10:46.000 --> 10:48.000
While I am gone, you must rest.

10:48.000 --> 10:52.000
Get away! Get away! Get away!

10:52.000 --> 10:55.000
An injection of this Wentworth to quiet you.

10:55.000 --> 10:57.000
No, no.

10:57.000 --> 11:04.000
Get away from me or I'll...

11:04.000 --> 11:07.000
There.

11:07.000 --> 11:12.000
What will happen next will probably amaze you.

11:12.000 --> 11:14.000
You...

11:14.000 --> 11:18.000
You devil.

11:18.000 --> 11:23.000
You persist in calling me that, do you?

11:23.000 --> 11:26.000
Very well, Wentworth.

11:26.000 --> 11:35.000
At first, I was going to take only one of your legs in exchange for what you did to me with your testimony.

11:35.000 --> 11:39.000
Now, I shall take them both.

11:39.000 --> 11:41.000
No.

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
No.

11:43.000 --> 11:45.000
No.

11:45.000 --> 12:01.000
Don't you dare do anything like that to me!

12:01.000 --> 12:03.000
Is Dr. Mason here?

12:03.000 --> 12:05.000
Miss Young?

12:05.000 --> 12:07.000
Yes, I have an appointment with the doctor.

12:07.000 --> 12:09.000
Go away, miss.

12:09.000 --> 12:10.000
Go away, quickly.

12:10.000 --> 12:11.000
What?

12:11.000 --> 12:12.000
Oh, please.

12:12.000 --> 12:13.000
Please, I beg you.

12:13.000 --> 12:15.000
I beg you to go away before it's too late.

12:15.000 --> 12:16.000
Too late?

12:16.000 --> 12:17.000
Yes.

12:17.000 --> 12:19.000
There's nothing but trouble for you here.

12:19.000 --> 12:20.000
Trouble? What do you mean?

12:20.000 --> 12:22.000
No, I can't tell you. I can't.

12:22.000 --> 12:29.000
Just go away, miss Young, while there's still time.

12:29.000 --> 12:35.000
Perhaps nurse Miss Young doesn't wish to go away.

12:35.000 --> 12:38.000
Dr. Holtz.

12:38.000 --> 12:39.000
Please.

12:39.000 --> 12:41.000
Quiet.

12:41.000 --> 12:45.000
You will go take care of the patient in surgery, nurse?

12:45.000 --> 12:55.000
Yes, doctor.

12:55.000 --> 12:58.000
I must apologize, Miss Young.

12:58.000 --> 13:01.000
You see, my nurse is quite upset.

13:01.000 --> 13:07.000
One of our surgeons operated this morning under most adverse conditions.

13:07.000 --> 13:09.000
A death resulted.

13:09.000 --> 13:16.000
The nurse has been quite upset about it all day because, well, to be quite frank, the surgeon was her brother.

13:16.000 --> 13:23.000
I'd warned him an operation would be fatal to the patient, but he went ahead anyway while I was away from the sanitarium.

13:23.000 --> 13:30.000
When I came back, I did everything I could to resuscitate the patient, but I was just minutes too late.

13:30.000 --> 13:35.000
I was compelled to discharge the surgeon from my staff.

13:35.000 --> 13:39.000
His sister is merely upset about the whole thing.

13:39.000 --> 13:42.000
She called you Dr. Holtz.

13:42.000 --> 13:44.000
What?

13:44.000 --> 13:49.000
Yes, I heard her. She called you Dr. Holtz.

13:49.000 --> 13:55.000
Did she? Well, that's her brother's name. She's so confused about everything.

13:55.000 --> 13:56.000
No.

13:56.000 --> 13:57.000
What?

13:57.000 --> 14:03.000
No, I said no. That isn't her brother's name. It's your name, doctor.

14:03.000 --> 14:04.000
Miss Young.

14:04.000 --> 14:12.000
Yes. When you telephoned me yesterday, I knew there was something about your voice I vaguely recognized.

14:12.000 --> 14:18.000
Now I know. You're Dr. Abraham Holtz.

14:18.000 --> 14:23.000
You always were a very keen and intelligent woman, Miss Young.

14:23.000 --> 14:25.000
Dr. Holtz.

14:25.000 --> 14:27.000
It's nice to see you again, Linda.

14:27.000 --> 14:29.000
You escaped from prison.

14:29.000 --> 14:30.000
In a way.

14:30.000 --> 14:38.000
You lured me here, pretended you needed a supervisor for your sanitarium. I should have known better.

14:38.000 --> 14:41.000
Yes, Linda, perhaps you should have.

14:41.000 --> 14:43.000
What do you want?

14:43.000 --> 14:48.000
I thought perhaps we could have a good laugh together over my court trial.

14:48.000 --> 14:49.000
Laugh?

14:49.000 --> 14:56.000
Yes, just so. You remember, don't you, that it was partially your testimony that sent me to prison?

14:56.000 --> 14:59.000
You had a fair trial.

14:59.000 --> 15:01.000
Are you so very certain I didn't?

15:01.000 --> 15:08.000
Of course. You had every opportunity to explain your devilish actions, but you refused.

15:08.000 --> 15:10.000
Devilish actions?

15:10.000 --> 15:14.000
Yes. You were a devil.

15:14.000 --> 15:17.000
That's what he said just a few moments ago.

15:17.000 --> 15:18.000
Who?

15:18.000 --> 15:19.000
Wentworth.

15:19.000 --> 15:20.000
Paul?

15:20.000 --> 15:23.000
Yes, and both of you called me a devil when you testified at my trial.

15:23.000 --> 15:24.000
Where is Paul now?

15:24.000 --> 15:29.000
You will see him, my dear, much sooner than you expect.

15:29.000 --> 15:31.000
What do you mean?

15:31.000 --> 15:36.000
I have great plans for you, Linda. Yes, for you and Wentworth.

15:36.000 --> 15:39.000
You were supposed to serve life in prison.

15:39.000 --> 15:54.000
Life, life, you say?
