THE UNFORTUNATE WAY

IT HAPPENED HERE

IS SHOCKING, SHATTERING.

BUT WE MUST TRY TO PUT IT

OUT OF OUR MINDS.

WE DON'T HELP BY BROODING

OR NEGLECTING OUR STUDIES.

LET'S REMEMBER THAT

THE PROPER AUTHORITIES

ARE HANDLING THIS CASE.

THAT'S THEIR JOB.

OUR JOB IS TO CONCENTRATE

ON OUR STUDIES.

THE LIVING HAVE AN OBLIGATION

TO GO ON LIVING.

NOW, FOR OUR EXPERIMENT

THIS MORNING,

WE'LL OBSERVE THE RESULTS

WHEN A SUBSTANCE

IS CHANGED FROM ONE

PHYSICAL STATE TO ANOTHER.

MYRA, WILL YOU SET UP

THE PROPER APPARATUS?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

HERE ARE THE CORRECTED

TEST PAPERS, MISS BRANDING.

I SEE YOU'RE DOING

MORE WORK ON YOUR THESIS.

YES, I'M REVISING IT.

IMPORTANT REVISIONS.

THEN YOU FOUND:

SOME NEW MATERIAL?

YES.

SCIENCE CONSTANTLY

MOVES FORWARD.

EVERY HOUR BRINGS

NEW DISCOVERIES.

YOUR OWN?

MY OWN.

OTHERWISE WHAT I HAVE

TO GIVE TO THE WORLD

WOULD HAVE:

NO VALIDITY.

IF MY THESIS:

IS TO MAKE:

THE CORRECT IMPACT

ON MANKIND,

IT MUST BE BASED

ON WHAT I SEE:

WITH MY OWN EYES.

AND WHAT YOU DO:

WITH YOUR OWN HANDS.

EXACTLY.

I SEE.

MYRA, LOOK AT ME.

I SAID LOOK AT ME.

MYRA, I'VE SPENT

MANY EXTRA HOURS

TRAINING YOU FOR

A SCIENTIFIC CAREER.

IN THOSE HOURS, WE'VE

WORKED CLOSELY TOGETHER.

I'VE CONFIDED IN YOU

ABOUT MY THESIS,

WHAT IT MEANS TO ME,

WHAT IT COULD MEAN

TO THE WORLD.

YES, MISS BRANDING.

THAT CONFIDENCE:

MUST NEVER BE VIOLATED.

NEVER.

LOOKS LIKE WE'VE

RUN INTO A WALL.

THAT'S ABOUT IT,

LIEUTENANT.

EVERY LEAD WE HAD

BLEW UP.

WELL, WE'VE QUESTIONED

A FEW PROWLERS AND VAGRANTS.

ONE SCREWBALL EVEN WANTED

TO SIGN A CONFESSION.

WHEN WE CHECKED,

HE HAD AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.

I'VE STILL GOT A WINO

IN THE TANK--

NO, I CHECKED

YOUR REPORT ON HIM.

THERE'S

NOTHING THERE.

BETTER DROP IT.

EVERY TIME WE CORRAL

A NEW SUSPECT,

IT LEAKS OUT:

TO THE PRESS.

THE MESS GETS:

STIRRED UP,

BUT WE GET:

NO RESULTS.

ALL THEY WANT:

IS RESULTS.

WELL, HAS DOC LAWSON

GOT ANY IDEAS?

YOU KNOW:

HOW CAUTIOUS HE IS.

WON'T MAKE

A STATEMENT:

UNTIL IT CAN:

STAND UP IN COURT.

SAYS IT COULD:

EVEN BE AN ANIMAL.

SHALL I CLOSE IT OUT?

HOW LONG:

WE BEEN ON IT?

TWO WEEKS?

YEAH, AND A FEW DAYS.

NO. BETTER JUST

MARK TIME ON IT.

SOMETHING'S

GOT TO SHOW UP.

[MURMURING]

ALL RIGHT, KIDS!

KIDS, LISTEN!

HERE ARE THE RULES FOR OUR

HALLOWEEN SCAVENGER HUNT.

EARLY TODAY, I BURIED

6 OBJECTS IN THE OLD CEMETERY.

IN A CEMETERY?

YES. WE HAVE TO PROVE

OUR BRAVERY, DON'T WE?

ANYWAY, THE FIRST ONE

TO BRING BACK 3 OF THOSE OBJECTS

WINS THIS CRAZY COMPACT,

COMPLETE WITH RHINESTONES

AND TRICK MIRROR,

DONATED BY TERRY!

YEAH, BUT WHERE

DO WE LOOK?

WE CAN'T DIG UP

THE WHOLE CEMETERY,

AND BY NIGHT YET.

NO. I'M GOING

TO GIVE YOU A CLUE.

NOW, TO FIND

THE FIRST OBJECT,

WHERE THE MOON SHINES

MOST BRIGHT,

YOU WILL FIND:

AN OBJECT WHITE.

OH! I KNOW

WHERE TO LOOK.

WELL, THEN

I'LL FOLLOW YOU.

YOU CAN PASS:

THE SHOVELS NOW.

WHEN I SAY GO,

YOU LIGHT OUT FAST.

NOW, IT'S 8:
20 NOW.

YOUR TIME LIMIT:

IS ONE HOUR.

EVERYBODY BE BACK HERE

BY 9:
20.

GO!

BUT, BABY, WHY HERE?

I LIKE:

THIS ATMOSPHERE.

CAROL, WILL YOU LEVEL

WITH ME? WHY HERE?

SILLY, I TOLD YOU.

I'M ON

A SCAVENGER HUNT.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO

BRING BACK, A BODY?

NO. WE JUST HAVE TO

DIG UP SOME OBJECTS.

WELL, COUNT ME OUT.

WILL YOU:

STOP SHIVERING?

THE KIDS OFTEN:

DATE HERE.

TAB AND I THOUGHT WE WERE

GONNA GO TO A HALLOWEEN PARTY.

BUT A SCAVENGER HUNT

IN A CEMETERY...

AW, I'VE HAD IT.

I'M CUTTING OUT.

NANCY, WHAT DID

YOU DO TO YOUR--

WHY, NANCY,

WHAT'S COME OVER YOU?

I CAN'T FIND

ANYTHING HERE.

NANCY, DID YOU--AH!

[GROWLING AND HISSING]

HI. THERE'S THE COLD FISH

FROM THE PARTY.

STILL UNSOCIAL TYPE.

COME HERE, HONEY.

I'M NOT GONNA HURT YOU.

YOU'RE PRETTY STRONG.

OK, I DIDN'T

SAY ANYTHING.

I'M LEAVING RIGHT NOW.

I'VE NEVER COME ACROSS

ANYONE QUITE LIKE YOU.

[GROWLING AND HISSING]

IT CAN'T BE!

GET AWAY FROM ME!

GET AWAY:

FROM ME!

NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!

AAH!

NOW WE HAVE 3 MURDERS

ALL ALIKE.

MUST BE THE WORK

OF THE SAME KILLER.

WHAT DO YOU:

MAKE OF IT, DOC?

I'LL GO ALONG WITH YOU

THIS FAR.

SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL.

TWO INCISIONS:

IN THE JUGULAR VEIN.

WAS THE KILLER:

HUMAN OR ANIMAL?

WELL, I CAN'T

COMMIT MYSELF YET.

YOU SHUT ME UP FAST

THE FIRST TIME,

BUT I TELL YOU,

THIS SECOND KILLING

FITS IN WITH WHAT

I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU.

LOOK,

ACCORDING TO YOU,

WE OUGHT TO START

A WITCH HUNT,

SEARCH FOR A DRACULA.

SEARCH ONLY IN THE MOONLIGHT.

PROTECT ALL POSSIBLE VICTIMS

WITH GARLIC LEAVES,

OR MAYBE DIG UP:

A COUPLE ROWS OF CORPSES

AND DRIVE WOODEN STAKES

THROUGH THEIR HEARTS

SO THEY'LL STAY BURIED.

ISN'T THAT WHAT

THE LEGEND PRESCRIBES?

YOU CAN'T LAUGH AWAY

MURDER.

I'M NOT TRYING TO.

I DON'T INTEND TO.

BUT THE WAY:

IT HAPPENED,

WHERE IT HAPPENED.

LOOK, LET'S GO ABOUT THIS

IN A LOGICAL, ROUTINE MANNER.

WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE?

WELL, IT'S

NOT ROBBERY.

NO EVIDENCE:

OF ASSAULT.

IT DOESN'T SEEM

LIKE VENGEANCE.

THOSE TEENAGERS:

HAD NO ENEMIES.

WELL, NONE THAT

WE KNOW OF, THAT IS.

WELL, THEN IT'S DEFINITELY

THE WORK OF A PARANOID,

SOMEBODY WITH A COMPULSIVE

NEUROSIS TO KILL.

IN MY BOOK,

THAT MEANS ANOTHER

ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE.

THE PSYCHOPATHIC KILLER

FEELS SUPERHUMAN.

HE THINKS OF HIMSELF

AS ABOVE.

WHY HIMSELF?

THERE'S CERTAINLY

NO CLUES:

POINTING TO THE SEX

OF THE KILLER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

MAYBE WITHIN:

THE SCHOOL ITSELF.

WE BETTER RE-QUESTION

EVERY GIRL:

ON THAT SCAVENGER HUNT.

IF NECESSARY,

EVERY GIRL IN THE SCHOOL.

THE LIEUTENANT WILL SEE

YOU NOW, NANCY.

GO AHEAD, DEAR.

Lieutenant:

COME IN.

Dunlap:
SIT DOWN, NANCY.

NOW, WE KNOW YOU WANT

TO TELL US THE TRUTH.

THIS LIE DETECTOR WILL HELP US

TO EVALUATE YOUR ANSWERS.

THE POLYGRAPH PENS

DON'T LIE.

NOW, NANCY, TO SET

YOUR MIND AT EASE,

LET ME EXPLAIN HOW

THE POLYGRAPH WORKS.

THESE WIRES CARRY AN IMPULSE

TO THE MACHINE:

WHICH REGISTERS THROUGH THE PENS

ON THIS GRAPH PAPER.

THE PENS MOVE ACCORDING

TO THE IMPULSES:

THEY RECEIVE:

FROM YOUR BODY.

THAT WAY WE OBTAIN

A PICTURE:

AS TO WHETHER YOUR STATEMENTS

ARE TRUE OR FALSE.

START THE MACHINE,

WILL YOU?

FOR EXAMPLE, NANCY,

WHAT'S YOUR FULL NAME?

NANCY PERKINS.

THE PEN WILL REGISTER

A NORMAL IMPULSE.

THAT INDICATES:

YOU TOLD THE TRUTH.

NOW I WANT YOU:

TO TELL ME A LIE.

WHAT'S YOUR FULL NAME?

ELEANOR BANG.

THERE. SEE THE DIFFERENCE

IN THE SWEEP OF THE PENS?

THAT INDICATES:

YOU DIDN'T TELL THE TRUTH.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS

TO IT.

NOW, LET'S GET DOWN

TO BUSINESS.

HOW OLD ARE YOU,

NANCY?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN

ATTENDING SHERWOOD SCHOOL?

ABOUT 6 WEEKS.

DO YOU LIKE THE SCHOOL?

YES.

NOW TELL US IN YOUR OWN WORDS

AS BEST YOU CAN:

EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID

ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT.

WELL, WE WERE TOLD

TO LOOK FOR 6 OBJECTS

IN THE OLD CEMETERY.

AND EACH OF US WAS GIVEN

A SMALL SPADE TO DIG WITH.

DID YOU FIND ANYTHING?

NOT AT FIRST. I--

WELL, GO AHEAD.

TELL US HOW YOU WENT ABOUT

THE SCAVENGER HUNT.

I WAS TRYING TO FIND

THE FIRST OBJECT.

YES?

AND THEN I SAW TERRY

LYING ON THE GROUND
