424
00:24:52,449 --> 00:24:55,419
And for the good of the majority,
Frank Johnson's got to testify.
425
00:24:55,536 --> 00:24:57,709
If he gives himself up,
we'll give him a supply of medicine.
426
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:58,831
We'll protect him.
427
00:24:58,956 --> 00:24:59,957
And if he doesn't?
428
00:25:00,082 --> 00:25:03,632
He'll die of a heart attack, or a bullet
from one of Smiley Freeman's men.
429
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:06,505
I don't believe a word you're saying.
You're only trying to frighten me.
430
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:08,849
And I'm getting pretty sick of you.
Now get out of here.
431
00:25:08,966 --> 00:25:12,220
Of course, if you want to try to
find him, I won't try to stop you.
432
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:14,346
But I don't think you can find him.
433
00:25:15,264 --> 00:25:18,689
I don't think he's running away from us.
I think he's running away from you.
434
00:25:18,809 --> 00:25:20,652
I said get out.
435
00:25:21,645 --> 00:25:23,568

(TRAM BELL RINGS)
438
00:25:59,725 --> 00:26:01,853
I am violating my instructions
from the police,
439
00:26:01,977 --> 00:26:03,479
by giving you this additional supply,
440
00:26:03,604 --> 00:26:05,948
but rest assured
it gives me no feeling of guilt.
441
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:07,066
Thank you, Doctor.
442
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:08,408
After the excitement of last night,
443
00:26:08,525 --> 00:26:12,371
your husband undoubtedly used
the ampoules he carried with him.
444
00:26:12,488 --> 00:26:14,616
So, you see, my action is
not prompted by kindness,
445
00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:18,290
so much as reluctance
to gamble with a man's life.
446
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:20,458
Is his heart really that bad, Doctor?
447
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:22,331
Frank's condition isn't any worse
448
00:26:22,456 --> 00:26:26,256
than tons of men that strain
their hearts, running in track meets.
449
00:26:26,376 --> 00:26:29,279
The misguided believe that
they were building up their bodies.
450
00:26:29,379 --> 00:26:31,598
If it were only his heart,
we could control it.
451
00:26:31,715 --> 00:26:32,716
What do you mean?
452
00:26:32,841 --> 00:26:35,890
Well, for the past year,
your husband has had hypertension.
453
00:26:36,011 --> 00:26:37,558
That complicates matters.
454
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:39,226
Hypertension? What causes that?
455
00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:44,229
Well, I'm not sure. My guess is
overwork, unhappiness, anxiety.
456
00:26:44,353 --> 00:26:46,776
- But you know more about it than I do.
- Why should I?
457
00:26:46,897 --> 00:26:48,820
But, naturally, you must
know about his troubles.
458
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:51,069
I'm only his doctor. You're his wife.
459
00:26:51,193 --> 00:26:54,197
Oh, yes. I'm that bitter,
selfish, vicious wife.
460
00:26:54,321 --> 00:26:56,369
The cause of his unhappiness.
The cause of his failure.
461
00:26:56,490 --> 00:26:58,413
Is that what he told you?
Is that what he tells everyone?
462
00:26:58,534 --> 00:27:02,710
Frank didn't discuss his private life with
me, nor do I care to hear it from you.
463
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:06,084
I shall explain to you his condition
and that's all.
464
00:27:06,208 --> 00:27:09,178
He has a cardiac condition.
Let's call it X.
465
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:13,720
Now, X alone is not serious. He also
has hypertension. Let's call it Y.
466
00:27:13,841 --> 00:27:16,594
Now, X plus Y is dangerous.
467
00:27:16,718 --> 00:27:17,890
I'm Y, I suppose.
468
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:21,561
I'm not a psychiatrist, Mrs. Johnson.
I deal only with facts.
469
00:27:21,682 --> 00:27:26,404
X plus Y equals steady deterioration.
X minus Y is an improvement.
470
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,990
And what you and your husband do
about it, that's your personal concern.
471
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:33,486
My only personal concern right now
is to get these ampoules to him.
472
00:27:33,610 --> 00:27:36,113
If you see him, tell him
he should give himself up.
473
00:27:36,238 --> 00:27:38,536
It's imperative to take
the strain off himself.
474
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:41,160
I'll give him the facts.
He can draw his own conclusions.
475
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:28,048
Oh, Frank darling,
I'd thought I'd never find you!
476
00:28:28,165 --> 00:28:32,420
Now, stay right here. I'll be back
in five minutes to explain everything.
477
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:38,267
- All right, Mr. Johnson, come along.
- My name isn't Johnson.
478
00:28:38,383 --> 00:28:40,306
Yeah, and I suppose
that isn't your wife either?
479
00:28:40,427 --> 00:28:41,724
No, but I wish it were.
480
00:28:41,845 --> 00:28:43,438
Do you have any identification?
481
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:46,274
Yes, I have. My name is
Steven Carruthers, optometrist.
