Doctor X Page #4

Haines later claimed the man had died,

and he had thrown the body overboard.

- I should like to meet him.

- Surely.

But I am sure

that he's not the guilty party.

The killer is a maniac,

and Dr. Haines is one of the most brilliant

men in the medical world.

- However, if you insist...

- I do.

Very well.

Professor Haines?

Yes. Yes, yes, come in. Come in, Doctor.

I want you to meet

Mr. Stevens and Mr. O'Halloran.

They're making a tour

of scientific investigation

and intend to honor our academy

for a short time.

- How do you do, gentlemen?

- Hope we're not disturbing you, Professor.

Not at all. I was just relaxing.

Professor Haines

is a most intensive worker.

I've just been telling Mr. Stevens

of your phenomenal experiments

in brain grafting.

Oh, Doctor, Doctor, come.

Come. I want to show you.

I want to show you a new type

of brain cell.

- That should be interesting, Professor.

- I'm sure you'll find it so.

- On the slide?

- Yes.

Look.

Relaxing.

Why did you bring the police in here?

Get them out quickly, or I'll...

Professor, do you experiment

with all these animals?

Mankind's benefactors.

Those little animals whose blood

most nearly resembles the human.

Yes. Yes, yes, of course. Of course.

But it's getting rather late, Professor,

and Mr. Stevens wants to see

the rest of the laboratories.

Now that he's met you,

he can call some other time.

- Delighted.

- Thank you, Professor.

- Glad to have met you. Good night.

- Good night.

Good night, gentlemen.

There's always a certain amount of danger

in a laboratory so...

He's certainly a strange type.

Well, such men are naturally strange,

Mr. Stevens.

Sometimes in the overdevelopment

of one part of the brain,

another part is weakened.

There's a type

who looks capable of anything.

Oh, I assure you, he's as timid as a lamb.

He's inclined to be attentive

to my daughter, so I see a lot of him.

- Who's the next?

- Dr. Rowitz.

He's the scientist who was with Haines

during the shipwreck.

If you'll step this way.

- Are you busy, Dr. Rowitz?

- Always, but it's a pleasure, gentlemen.

Oh, excuse me.

Mr. Stevens. Mr. O'Halloran.

- How do you do?

- How are you?

- Can I be of any service?

- Well, we are just looking around, Doctor.

- Oh, yes, of course.

- Good evening, Professor Duke.

- How are you feeling tonight?

- Horrible.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, if it makes you feel sorry

to hear things like that,

then don't ask questions.

Oh, Professor Duke,

Mr. Stevens, Mr. O'Halloran.

How do you do? How do you do?

He's Dr. Rowitz's collaborator.

You're an astronomer, Doctor?

Not that, sir.

I have an interest

in the light qualities of the moon.
