Calling Dr. Death Page #5

---

I believe if you follow

a guilty man long enough,

no matter how he tries, or where

he hides, he's bound to break.

Why don't you confess?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, you don't, huh?

You've always experimented

with life, Doctor.

You've gone beyond life,

into the brain,

the subconscious.

Pretty dangerous

invading the unknown.

You learn strange things.

You think of strange things.

I understand you even do.

Exactly what do you mean?

An innocent man

is going to die, Doctor.

Oh, you'll confess

sooner or later,

because you can't

escape your conscience.

Already,

it's beginning to bother you.

Why don't you confess now?

You're mad.

Mad? No.

No, Doctor.

Did it ever occur to you

that perhaps you are?

No. Everybody else is.

That's what all of you think.

You know, Doctor, it isn't

death that frightens men.

It's waiting.

Anticipation.

Your conscience haunting you

in your sleep,

in your dreams.

Get out!

It's so easy.

Just a few little words.

That's all it'd take.

Get out!

Sorry, Doctor.

Was it expensive?

Must be your nerves.

I'd check that.

I've got to find out.

Self-hypnosis. Yes.

That's the only way.

I'll attempt

to put myself under.

If I succeed,

you start the recorder,

then question me

about what happened

from Saturday afternoon on.

Keep repeating

and repeating until I reply.

Understand?

Relax.

Relax.

I'm tired.

Very tired.

My eyes are getting heavy.

I'm going to sleep.

Going to...

Think, Mark, think.

You're completely relaxed.

It's all so clear.

Think now, Mark.

You drove.

Then what happened?

Who are you?

Inspector Gregg. You must have heard

of me. Hasn't the Doctor told you?

Please, he's asleep.

Using his own medicine?

He didn't do it. Please

believe me. We have proof.

Wait a minute,

I'll wake him.

You're sending an innocent man

to the chair.

You know

the Doctor killed his wife.

You know how he hated her.

You like him, don't you?

But you'll never be

happy with him.

You'll despise him

after a while,

and Duval will always

loom up before you.

Tell me what you know.

He's innocent. I know he is.

Mark, wake up. Mark!

What are you doing here?

How did you get in?

He's trying to blame you.

He wants me to help him.

Don't try to fight it, Doctor.

It has to come.

Don't listen to him, Mark.

You didn't do it.

You told me so yourself.

It's on the recording.

I told you what happened

last Saturday and Sunday?

Yes.

I got into the car,

drove directly to the lodge.

I found Maria there.

She was alone.

She was drunk.

She accused me

of following her.

We argued.

I pushed her away, ran out.

As I got into my car,

through the rearview mirror,

I saw Duval enter the house.
