00:00:01 #1 Let me die. Let me...

00:00:04 #2 Can you accept save my patients?

00:02:10 #3 Bob's is yours.

00:02:38 #4 Do what you want to do.

00:02:39 #5 He'll be still alive.

00:04:11 #6 I just picked up a faint pulse beat.

00:04:16 #7 Keep massaging the heart.

00:04:18 #8 I am. I am.

00:04:20 #9 His electric shock should stimulate the motor area enough to inhibit the heart again.

00:04:24 #10 Then he won't need any external stimuli.

00:04:27 #11 Keep away from the motor area.

00:04:29 #12 He'll paralyze him for good.

00:04:32 #13 Which would you rather be? Paralyzed or dead?

00:04:34 #14 Don't try to play God.

00:04:36 #15 Some choices are not yours to make.

00:04:39 #16 When the obstetrician has to decide which to save the mother

00:04:41 #17 or the child, who plays God then?

00:04:44 #18 It's part of the game.

00:04:45 #19 Game?

00:04:47 #20 The human body's not a jigsaw puzzle to experiment on.

00:04:50 #21 Still playing it safe like the other doctors, huh?

00:04:53 #22 Keep massaging the heart.

00:04:56 #23 You've already lost your patient, doctor.

00:04:58 #24 I'm going to save mine.

00:05:00 #25 His pulse is coming back stronger than ever.

00:05:03 #26 It's unbelievable.

00:05:05 #27 Nothing's unbelievable if you have the nerve to experiment taking on something like this for weeks.

00:05:11 #28 In your laboratory?

00:05:13 #29 This would work if only I had the opportunity.

00:05:16 #30 You don't conduct experiments on people. You should be sure of the results first.

00:05:21 #31 Stop massaging the heart. Let's see if it can take over by itself.

00:05:30 #32 Finish with the cerebral area. How's his pulse?

00:05:55 #33 Strong and steady.

00:05:57 #34 You did perform a miracle. I may not approve of your methods, but...

00:06:24 #35 I am proud of your results.

00:06:26 #36 Extraordinary operation, son.

00:07:05 #37 But it still is too risky, too uncontrolled.

00:07:09 #38 Saved his life.

00:07:11 #39 May after effects. What about them?

00:07:14 #40 Bloss the urge to explore.

00:07:18 #41 Explore on people.

00:07:32 #42 Before you put a scalpel to one,

00:07:34 #43 an operation like this needs testing under every condition.

00:07:37 #44 Over and over again.

00:07:40 #45 Rabbits, mice, monkeys.

00:07:43 #46 Not people.

00:07:44 #47 That man who should be dead now won't think so.

00:07:47 #48 More to surgery than just being a carpenter to patch up walls.

00:07:52 #49 Or a plumber to drain pipes.

00:07:55 #50 Our bodies are capable of adjusting in ways we've hardly dreamt of.

00:07:59 #51 And only find the key.

00:08:07 #52 The key to what?

00:08:09 #53 Complete transplantations.

00:08:11 #54 To be able to transplant limbs and organs.

00:08:14 #55 To replace disease and damage parts of the body as easily as we replace eye corny as now.

00:08:20 #56 New parts will join together as though they were born there.

00:08:24 #57 It can't be done.

00:08:28 #58 It can be done.

00:08:30 #59 With my new special compound I've created, I'll do it.

00:08:37 #60 I know I can do it.

00:08:38 #61 Sure, sure. That's what you say.

00:08:40 #62 That's what I know. I know I'm close.

00:08:42 #63 I'm so proud of you, I could kiss you.

00:08:50 #64 Promises, huh? Always promises.

00:08:53 #65 Careful, your father's liable to report us.

00:08:56 #66 Stop the floor show.

00:08:58 #67 When you two are married, it won't be fun to watch anymore.

00:09:01 #68 I can promise you one thing.

00:09:03 #69 Your grandchildren won't be test-tube babies.

00:09:06 #70 You better hurry if you want to catch that plane to Denver, Dad.

00:09:08 #71 You know that medical convention can't start without you.

00:09:12 #72 Uh, Jan, you'd better check about my reservations.

00:09:15 #73 Oh yes, I'll call the airport. I'll be right back.

00:09:21 #74 Bill.

00:09:23 #75 The line between scientific genius and obsessive finalism is a thin one.

00:09:28 #76 I want you on the right side of it.

00:09:30 #77 If I don't experiment, how can I hope to perform operations

00:09:32 #78 like the one you almost messed up?

00:09:34 #79 But I can't cover up for you anymore.

00:09:37 #80 The superintendent had it out with me.

00:09:39 #81 He thinks it's you who's been stealing those limbs

00:09:41 #82 from the amputee operations.

00:09:43 #83 So what if it is?

00:09:45 #84 I've got to have limbs for my transplant.

00:09:48 #85 Well, you said test and experiment.

00:09:49 #86 Test and experiment.

00:09:50 #87 Yes, but limbs and organs taken from people.

00:09:54 #88 I've got to have them to work with.

00:10:07 #89 Your reservations are all set.

00:10:08 #90 3.30 take off.

00:10:11 #91 Well, what have you two planned for the weekend?

00:10:15 #92 Oh, nothing much.

00:10:17 #93 It's a quiet weekend.

00:10:18 #94 You sure you're not going up to the country house?

00:10:21 #95 You're always sneaking off up there.

00:10:24 #96 Place gives me the creeps.

00:10:25 #97 I should have sold it when your mother died.

00:10:27 #98 You can't sell that place.

00:10:30 #99 Well, I mean, it's nice to get away from the city.

00:10:31 #100 I can work without anyone snooping around.

00:10:33 #101 You spend too much time up there.

00:10:36 #102 All right, I'll see you both in a few days.

00:10:39 #103 Got to clean up and get out of here.

00:10:44 #104 Fine operation or not, Bill.

00:10:46 #105 You're walking on thin ice.

00:10:49 #106 Don't go too far.

00:10:57 #107 Oh, every time you touch me, I go out of my mind.

00:11:01 #108 I want to kiss you.

00:11:04 #109 Bill, I want to get married.

00:11:05 #110 I can't stand not having you.

00:11:07 #111 You've been wonderful.

00:11:09 #112 I'd rather be a bride.

00:11:11 #113 I'm so glad you're here.

00:11:39 #114 I was afraid you'd gotten away.

00:11:40 #115 There was a very important phone message that came to you.

00:11:43 #116 It sounded quite urgent.

00:11:44 #117 I've been looking everywhere.

00:11:45 #118 It was from a man called Kurt.

00:11:47 #119 He called from the country place and he said something terrible has happened.

00:11:52 #120 He wanted you to come right out.

00:11:54 #121 Thank you. Many weekends.

00:12:03 #122 If you got the keys to your car, why haven't you ever taken me up here before?

00:12:19 #123 Because of things I'm working on. Don't need an audience.

00:12:21 #124 That telephone call. What about it?

00:12:24 #125 For questions. Why the mystery there?

00:12:29 #126 What is all about?

00:12:32 #127 We'll be there soon enough. You'll see.

00:12:34 #128 Look in the closet first.

00:17:39 #129 But you don't understand.

00:17:42 #130 Look, I'll take care of this, surgeon.

00:17:43 #131 Do as I tell you before it's too late.

00:17:44 #132 I can't wait for his time.

00:17:45 #133 I'm arguing with you.

00:21:08 #134 Clean again.

00:21:13 #135 It'd ever be like before.

00:21:17 #136 I love her too much to let her stay like this.

00:21:26 #137 But you see, there's a pattern to all that lives.

00:21:29 #138 An order, an arrangement.

00:21:31 #139 She had a heart and a brain, and her spirit was in both,

00:21:35 #140 not in one or the other.

00:21:37 #141 No.

00:21:39 #142 I'll give her a brain and a heart.

00:21:41 #143 I'll love for you.

00:21:55 #144 All the skill and science I possess was meant for this.

00:21:59 #145 Life has a pattern.

00:22:02 #146 The whole pattern of my life is shaping itself to save her now.

00:22:05 #147 With it. Yes.

00:22:08 #148 I was planned on her.

00:22:44 #149 Called you up here.

00:32:22 #150 But for what?

00:32:50 #151 I think the rest of the show.

00:32:53 #152 Come back in half an hour and maybe you will.

00:32:55 #153 Get lost.

00:33:08 #154 The kind of face a girl doesn't mind looking at.

00:33:11 #155 Even our friend, all the other girls are asking about you.

00:33:14 #156 Get out of here. Choose company.

00:33:16 #157 Three is a crowd.

00:33:17 #158 Who's to tell me to blow?

00:33:19 #159 This is my dressing room too, remember?

00:33:24 #160 It kills her to see me make time.

00:33:27 #161 You're the only thing that's going to be made around here tonight.

00:33:30 #162 Honey, eat your heart out.

00:33:33 #163 Yeah.

00:33:34 #164 Yeah, look what you've done.

00:33:39 #165 You come back with your two sisters?

00:33:41 #166 Let me see you later.

00:33:43 #167 I'll make everything up to you.

00:33:45 #168 I swear I will.

00:33:47 #169 Yeah, come on back later.

00:33:50 #170 I'll remember you.

00:33:51 #171 You.

00:34:01 #172 Tramps.

00:34:02 #173 Once in a blue moon, I messed it up.

00:34:08 #174 What makes you think you had it?

00:34:11 #175 He would have you on his best.

00:34:12 #176 Says who?

00:34:14 #177 Says me.

00:34:15 #178 What's a guy like that want with leftovers for?

00:34:18 #179 Let?

00:36:12 #180 At the first.

00:36:23 #181 Let me die.

00:36:24 #182 I hate him for what he's done to me.

00:36:32 #183 He only knew what it's like being like this.

00:36:39 #184 He knew what it's like.

00:36:48 #185 Gather, we could have revenge.

00:36:53 #186 You want revenge?

00:37:25 #187 He's keeping me alive.

00:37:26 #188 has given me a power he didn't count on,

00:37:29 #189 or that you can feel across this room and through that door.

00:37:39 #190 Can't you?

00:38:02 #191 Together we're both more than things.

00:38:06 #192 Or as hideous as our deformities,

00:38:10 #193 together we'll wreak our revenge, create power,

00:38:18 #194 and you will enforce it, a thing out here.

00:38:31 #195 Oh, neither the grave nor death

00:38:34 #196 had power over the mother of God,

00:38:36 #197 whose sleepeth not in her intercessions,

00:38:39 #198 and who in her protection is an unchanging hope.

00:38:44 #199 Normal mind can imagine something even more terrible than you.

00:40:40 #200 As its ultimate.

00:40:47 #201 Beyond yours.

00:40:53 #202 Locked behind that door.

00:40:57 #203 Mountains of miscalculation and often lose themselves

00:41:05 #204 in down with its transplants of broken limbs

00:41:42 #205 and amputated arms.

00:41:44 #206 But with this serum, to breathe.

00:41:48 #207 Years ago.

00:42:10 #208 Ween up here where no one could see his work.

00:42:12 #209 Her arm he fastened.

00:42:34 #210 Watching it.

00:42:52 #211 And you stayed with him.

00:42:53 #212 hoping him in his grotesque work that he claims is for science.

00:42:58 #213 Good pun me with pity.

00:43:16 #214 The alcoholic has his bottle.

00:43:17 #215 He has used you to...

00:43:49 #216 The only hope.

00:43:54 #217 A surgeon needs both his arms, not just one.

00:43:57 #218 Only for the day he can work a successful transplant to my body.

00:44:09 #219 On to another body.

00:44:17 #220 He can do it.

00:44:22 #221 Picked it as a fine substance it is.

00:44:32 #222 The transplant would never take it, would never stay in place.

00:44:36 #223 A blood-stamped antibodies would attack it as they attack any invading matter.

00:44:41 #224 New discovered lymphoid tissues.

00:44:55 #225 Lymphoids that provide the antibodies for the blood that detect foreign transplanted matter.

00:44:59 #226 Who we used it on, you?

00:45:05 #227 Through what's left of me. Makes me feel the...

00:45:16 #228 The mercy of every element of the universe.

00:45:50 #229 How can you speak of power?

00:45:57 #230 He's pumped into me.

00:45:58 #231 More for than any of...

00:47:00 #232 Control in that room!

00:47:23 #233 There's nothing beyond my control.

00:47:25 #234 She's alive and I'll keep her alive until I find her a body.

00:47:31 #235 Go to sleep.

00:47:32 #236 Then you... you didn't find her a body!

00:47:35 #237 Well, I've got to be careful.

00:47:36 #238 and afford to be identified as the last person seen with a girl before she disappears.

00:47:40 #239 Do you think you'll get one?

00:47:47 #240 There are many things left for tomorrow.

00:47:49 #241 It's about to call a cop the way you were looking me over.

00:49:06 #242 Have you been, Bill?

00:49:08 #243 I was just fine, Donna.

00:49:09 #244 I haven't seen you for quite a while.

00:49:11 #245 Too long. I'm still waiting for that call you once promised me.

00:49:14 #246 Well, you know how it is with interns.

00:49:16 #247 All work.

00:49:17 #248 All work and no play even makes for dull doctors.

00:49:20 #249 You're going to lose that bedside manner of yours.

00:49:23 #250 Say, how about a little side-courts in anatomy?

00:49:26 #251 Yours? Anytime.

00:49:28 #252 No, not mine. A body-beautiful contest.

00:49:30 #253 You know bathing suit models? Plenty of females on the hook.

00:49:33 #254 Your eyes will have a field day. Interesting?

00:49:36 #255 Why not? Come on, jump in.

00:49:38 #256 On second thought, I just remembered I've got to stop by my place

00:49:48 #257 and take care of a few things. Only take a minute. You don't mind, do you?

00:49:51 #258 I always follow the doctor's orders. Anything you prescribe, I'll take.

00:49:56 #259 That's what I like about you, Donna.

00:49:58 #260 I like about you Donna.

00:49:59 #261 Oh, we're so obliging.

00:50:06 #262 Where are you going?

00:50:06 #263 What's the hurry?

00:50:07 #264 Hi, Jeannie.

00:50:08 #265 We're going to look for some bodies.

00:50:10 #266 You in the contest, yeah.

00:50:11 #267 Got any room for me?

00:50:12 #268 Oh, sure.

00:50:13 #269 Plenty.

00:50:13 #270 Bill, this is Jeannie Reynolds.

00:50:14 #271 Jeannie, this is Dr. Phil Corgina. Hi.

00:50:16 #272 Hello.

00:50:17 #273 Hop in.

00:50:18 #274 But first we're going to stop off at his place.

00:50:19 #275 Sure.

00:50:30 #276 Oh, as a matter of fact, I can wait.

00:50:32 #277 Now that there's two of you, we'll have to wait.

00:50:34 #278 I guess he thinks there's safety in numbers.

00:50:37 #279 Oh, this time there is.

00:50:38 #280 You promise not to hurt you.

00:50:40 #281 And I promise not to hurt you.

00:50:42 #282 I found ready to go backstage of five of the girls who have reached the contest

00:51:10 #283 by the body I've ever seen no another girl figure model you remember that one in

00:52:39 #284 school years ago the one who had the accident oh yeah yeah Doris few people

00:52:48 #285 see her nowadays she just stays in her studio posing for art classes and

00:52:53 #286 camera bugs to kill somebody mother body know how Bill's egotism drives him

00:53:53 #287 I'm on and on.

00:53:55 #288 To infamy upon infamy,

00:53:57 #289 could ever be born of evil.

00:54:09 #290 And he claims his work is for science.

00:54:13 #291 Humanity joined to flesh not your own.

00:54:24 #292 What's human in this?

00:54:28 #293 How you must exist.

00:54:32 #294 Locked behind that door.

00:54:34 #295 Okay, boys, I've had it for too long.

00:56:27 #296 Come on, baby, one more. Just one more, please.

00:56:29 #297 Now look for it in this, baby.

00:56:30 #298 Time's just about up anyway.

00:56:32 #299 Say, Doris, would you like to have a drink with me?

00:56:52 #300 Just you and me? Away from everybody?

00:56:54 #301 Some place where nobody will bud in with you and I can really be alone.

00:56:57 #302 No, thank you.

00:56:59 #303 How about posing for me? Private like.

00:57:02 #304 I'll pay you real money. Real good money.

00:57:04 #305 The kind of money they don't throw at you every day.

00:57:06 #306 And for doing hardly nothing at all.

00:57:08 #307 I do my posing for classes only, Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 to 10.

00:57:14 #308 Oh, but we can...

00:57:15 #309 Good night.

00:57:16 #310 See it all, Mr.

00:57:37 #311 Mr. The show is over.

00:57:40 #312 Next time bring a camera and buy a ticket.

00:57:44 #313 I'm not running a charity.

00:57:46 #314 You don't remember me, do you, Doris?

00:57:49 #315 Every guy on the make gives me that same tired line.

00:57:54 #316 I'm Bill Courtney.

00:57:59 #317 Bill Courtney.

00:58:02 #318 Long time ago, that fight.

00:58:05 #319 He almost tore that wise guy apart for making fun of me.

00:58:09 #320 after my accent.

00:58:12 #321 Can't we go somewhere and talk?

00:58:14 #322 No, I don't date men.

00:58:16 #323 Because I pose like I do.

00:58:18 #324 Your mind works overtime.

00:58:21 #325 You get ideas.

00:58:23 #326 You're all alike.

00:58:26 #327 Oh, not all of us.

00:58:28 #328 I'm not on the make for you.

00:58:30 #329 OK, so maybe you're better than most.

00:58:33 #330 Maybe not.

00:58:35 #331 I still hate all men.

00:58:39 #332 Oh, what one did to me once.

00:58:41 #333 Have you forgotten? Have you?

00:58:47 #334 No, I haven't forgotten.

00:58:50 #335 Neither have I.

00:58:52 #336 I carry the memory around with me.

00:58:56 #337 But you can't hide yourself away here forever,

00:58:59 #338 posing bare in front of a bunch of neurotics.

00:59:01 #339 Listen, Gala had.

00:59:04 #340 I trusted a man once, all the way.

00:59:07 #341 What did it get me?

00:59:08 #342 He gets as head full of jealous lies than I get.

00:59:11 #343 You've got to forget what happened.

00:59:11 #344 How can I forget?

00:59:13 #345 I carry the memory around with me.

00:59:16 #346 Who in the fuck am I so appealing to you now?

00:59:26 #347 Still so interested, doesn't it make you sick?

00:59:38 #348 You don't even turn away from me, like everyone else does.

00:59:45 #349 To me, you're not ugly. I see only beauty in you.

00:59:50 #350 You have a lovely body and a face that can be made beautiful again also.

00:59:56 #351 I've heard that song before.

00:59:59 #352 I'm a doctor, I know.

01:00:01 #353 My father's one of the leading plastic surgeons.

01:00:03 #354 If anyone can help you, we can. I know I can.

01:00:05 #355 I've been to doctors. It's no use.

01:00:08 #356 The scar tissue's too deep. No one can help me.

01:00:12 #357 That was a few years ago.

01:00:14 #358 Today nothing's hopeless.

01:00:16 #359 We can graft scar and skin tissue that...

01:00:19 #360 or we can even freeze areas of the skin

01:00:23 #361 and sand away damaged skin tissues.

01:00:25 #362 Well, you say that. That look in your eyes.

01:00:30 #363 I almost want to believe you.

01:00:35 #364 You start believing even if your father could help me I couldn't pay him the kind

01:00:59 #365 of money it would take don't talk about money does a lot of work without any

01:01:03 #366 charge why should you want to do this for me what's in it for you I'm going to make

01:01:15 #367 your face beautiful again cut it off and give your body away I'm sorry Bill I have

01:01:30 #368 been knocked around so many times I've lost count it's tough living with this I

01:01:38 #369 don't mean to sound ungrateful because you've been batted around don't go sour

01:01:43 #370 You shouldn't lose your trust in people, not all of us.

01:01:46 #371 I believe you. I want to.

01:01:50 #372 Do you really think something can be done?

01:01:55 #373 Only my father knows.

01:01:57 #374 Look, we have a country place just out of town.

01:01:59 #375 He's visiting for the weekend.

01:02:01 #376 I could take you there now for a consultation.

01:02:03 #377 You mean tonight?

01:02:05 #378 Well, if you'd rather wait till he comes back...

01:02:07 #379 Oh, no, no. I mean, he wouldn't be annoyed

01:02:09 #380 being bothered with me so late at night.

01:02:11 #381 Well, you let me do the worrying, hmm?

01:02:13 #382 I'll do anything that'll help me get rid of this fear.

01:02:16 #383 me get rid of this face. Oh that's where I come in. Remember the last time I helped

01:02:21 #384 you? Calling. My girlfriend I want to tell her the news. Before you know what the verdict

01:02:33 #385 is going to be? You're right. I shouldn't talk until I know what's going to happen.

01:02:41 #386 My girlfriend she's supposed to drop in later I'll have to leave her a note or something.

01:02:45 #387 Well just tell her you'll see her later. Otherwise she'll ask a lot of nosy questions.

01:02:49 #388 We want to be sure of her. So throw something on huh? I'll be with you in a minute. Just tell

01:03:04 #389 You'll keep in touch. Leave it on the table. She'll see it.

01:03:11 #390 Had to go out with old friend Bill Courtner.

01:03:15 #391 We'll call you tomorrow.

01:03:18 #392 Doris, here.

01:03:21 #393 Leave it on the lamp. See it, won't you?

01:03:35 #394 That's the first place you'll look. I'll leave the life on for her.

01:03:46 #395 I have waited so long for this.

01:03:48 #396 More than what I am.

01:04:44 #397 Under me. Feed your friend while you...

01:05:22 #398 Unless nibbling fear becomes you more.

01:05:24 #399 or of you.

01:05:38 #400 A mere head in search of a body, a beak of death.

01:05:56 #401 Why should I be afraid of a few knocks on a door?

01:05:59 #402 Imagine, grabbed together the bits and pieces that were stolen from the hospital.

01:06:17 #403 An amputated arm, a leg, a torso.

01:06:20 #404 Would I help piece them together like a monstrous jigsaw puzzle?

01:06:23 #405 He's fed to me to activate my lymphoid tissues.

01:06:30 #406 Has he fed it to that?

01:06:31 #407 On that he used an earlier formula.

01:06:36 #408 formula wasn't as successful as the

01:06:38 #409 ceremony is using on you but it was

01:06:40 #410 enough to allow the transplants to take

01:06:42 #411 considerably. Why don't you open the door

01:07:12 #412 both see how it's changed. Listen you I warn

01:07:17 #413 you you better stop pestering me dear

01:07:19 #414 here I'm getting fed up with you when

01:07:21 #415 you're insidious talk he should have

01:07:23 #416 cut out your tongue while he was at it.

01:07:25 #417 Afraid? Afraid of whom? Of you? Not any more.

01:07:34 #418 It keeps it locked in there so that it'll be safe, that's all.

01:07:55 #419 Along your existence into a lifetime of agony.

01:08:13 #420 Then we'll see who's laughing at home.

01:08:15 #421 You miserable fool!

01:08:17 #422 You and your father live here?

01:11:18 #423 Only on weekends when we want to get away from the city.

01:11:21 #424 This place certainly is lonely.

01:11:24 #425 Well, the further from prying eyes, the better.

01:11:26 #426 I mean it's nice and quiet here.

01:11:28 #427 We can get away from the noise and telephones.

01:11:30 #428 Oh, I guess it is.

01:11:32 #429 Well, sit down. Sit down. I'll fix us a drink, huh?

01:11:35 #430 My father should be back soon.

01:11:37 #431 You mean he's not here now?

01:11:40 #432 Oh, come on now, Doris.

01:11:42 #433 Do I look like a maniac who goes around killing girls?

01:11:45 #434 Now, you've got to learn to trust people.

01:11:47 #435 People like me, really.

01:11:49 #436 I'm sorry. I trust you.

01:11:52 #437 I trust you with my life.

01:11:54 #438 Well, I can't ask for any more than that.

01:11:56 #439 You'd forgotten about me.

01:14:53 #440 Forgotten you?

01:14:54 #441 Well, Doris, you've become very important to me.

01:14:56 #442 I'm not a very heavy drinker.

01:15:03 #443 Neither am I.

01:15:05 #444 Well, here's to your future.

01:15:07 #445 I'll drink to that.

01:15:12 #446 Yes, I can. I'm not part of one.

01:17:42 #447 Science to jump ahead by years must be done.

01:17:53 #448 When she does come to...

01:18:11 #449 Oh, oh, mother of God, did remain virgin.

01:22:47 #450 And in thy repose did not forsake our world.
