I...

I could actually swear

he was there.

Dreams can seem very real.

You know, Barry...

he looked a little bit like you.

At least you and your husband

agree on that point, Mrs. Trent.

Irene.

If I can be of any further help,

Mrs. Trent.

Thanks, that won't be

necessary now.

Good night, Barry.

Irene.

Were you restless darling?

Yes.

Planning to go out?

At this hour, of course not.

But you're dressed.

Are you wondering

how I know that?

Simple.

I heard you walking just now.

You're wearing heels.

And I could hear the rustling

sound of your suit.

The beige one, isn't it?

You're very observant, Howard.

It's only

because I love you, darling.

I'm interested in everything

you do and everyone you see.

Howard, it's late,

I wanna go back to be--

Of course, my dear,

you might as well.

Since I seemed to have spoiled

your plans for the evening.

I don't have any plans.

But he did, didn't he?

Oh, Howard,

we both need our rest.

Rest?

How long do you think it's been

since I've had any rest?

Knowing that the two of you

are meeting behind my back.

I don't know

what you are talking about.

Oh yes, you do! Who is he?

Come with the truth.

There is a man, isn't there?

- Isn't there?

- Yes.

Yes, I do have a lover.

He comes to me every night.

He holds me in his arms.

He's young, handsome and tender.

He's everything I always wanted,

everything you're not.

Who is he? Tell me his name!

I wish to God I could,

but he has no name,

he's only a dream.

- You're lying. Lying!

- Only to myself,

only when I'm asleep.

I'm trying to pretend

that I lead a normal life

with someone who loves me.

Don't you understand?

I know why my dreams seem real,

because when I'm awake my life

with you is like a nightmare!

- The truth. Tell me the truth!

- Alright, here's the truth.

My lover is only a dream

but he's still more of a man

than you!

Irene.

Irene.

Oh, sorry I startled you,

Mrs. Trent.

Who are you?

Frank Malone, Arson squad.

I work with Inspector Rice.

You talked to him the other day

at the investigation.

They told me at the inquest

the case was closed.

Just making a final check-up.

This the first time you've

been here since the accident?

I was away when it happened.

Spending the night at a hotel.

I know.

Have the found out any more

about the cause?

Just that there was

an explosion.

Everything's melted.

We can't trace a circuit.

The heat must have

been tremendous.

Fortunately,

the fireproof door and walls

saved the rest of the house.

They never found... my husband?

In an explosion like this

the heat is so intense

it would destroy anything.

Sorry, if you don't mind.

- What are you doing?
