having done it?

Yes.

Yes.

Don't ever try

to leave me.

Don't ever try

to leave me.

I had to

lie there in his arms,

lie there in panic

and wait for morning to come.

I knew now that if I tried to leave him,

he'd kill me...

kill me as quickly

as he did Bob.

Oh, yet, my every impulse

was to bolt for the door, and to run for my life,

but I didn't dare. I had to bide my time, and act

like everything was normal,

but I had thought

of one idea.

It was worth a try.

Anything was worth a try.

Oh, Lyle, we're out

of eggs and cream.

Look, I'll run to the market

and I'll be right back. Right back.

Uh, don't bother, we'll eat

something else.

But you always have eggs

for breakfast,

in the morning, and besides, I like

cream in my coffee.

And I don't mind going.

Well, I'll come along

and keep you company.

Look, darling, you know, this is really stupid.

Why should we go all the way to the village

when I can go that- the next house

and borrow

whatever we need?

Are they friendly?

I'm sure they won't mind.

Wonderful. So we'll

walk a little.

Oh, but you don't have to go.

Don't you want me?

Darling, this is n

ot a very good idea,

because I'm gonna get

my feet wet if I go on.

You want me

to carry you?

I'll go back and get the coffee boiling,

and you go on. All right?

I have lots of things to do.

All right.

Sick with fright,

I put the kettle on

and started it boiling,

just in case.

Then I went to the window and watched

until Lyle went over the rise.

Now I breathed easier.

I knew I'd have a good 20 minutes

until he got back.

It only take a few seconds to

put some clothes in a bag.

It wasn't too much

of a risk.

I didn't know

what that noise was,

but it gave me a sudden feeling of panic.

All at once- my clothes-

nothing mattered.

But I had a chilling urge to get out of that

house, and get out of it fast!

I hitched

a ride into Monterey.

But I never took my eyes

off the road in back,

not for a second.

I knew that Lyle's car could loom into sight

at anytime, and I was terrified.

Thank you so much.

I'm very grateful.

That's quite

all right.

Del Monte Lodge.

Operator, would you please give me

Cliff Henderson, and hurry.

Just a minute, please.

Just a moment,

please. His line is busy.

Operator, I can't hold on any longer.

Would you please tell him

that Julie Benton called

and would he meet me

at the Monterey police

station, right away?

Thank you.

Pardon me. Please, where

is the police station?

Two blocks up,

one block over.

Do you have a back entrance I could use?

Right through

that arch.

Pardon me, please. I hate to

interrupt, but it's very urgent.

What is it, ma'am?

May I see
