AND NEXT TO HER:

WAS TAB.

DID YOU SEE ANYONE

STRIKE EITHER OF THEM?

NO, SIR.

DID YOU TOUCH:

EITHER OF THEM?

NO. NO, SIR.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER

YOU SAW BOTH BODIES?

WELL, THE OTHER GIRLS

CAME RUNNING,

AND THEY SAW:

THE BODIES, TOO,

AND WE JUST STOOD THERE.

ALL OF US:

JUST STOOD THERE.

WE WERE TOO FRIGHTENED

TO MOVE.

THANK YOU, NANCY.

THAT'LL BE ALL.

WELL, THE POLYGRAPH

INDICATES YOU TOLD THE TRUTH.

MAY I TAKE THE GIRLS

BACK TO SCHOOL NOW, LIEUTENANT?

YES, AND THANK YOU

VERY MUCH.

THAT'S AN

INTERESTING NECKLACE,

ESPECIALLY:

THE PENDANT.

AN ANTIQUE,

I SUPPOSE.

IT'S DEFINITELY

AN ANTIQUE.

I'M NOT THE TYPE

FOR COSTUME JEWELRY.

IT'S A KEEPSAKE,

OF NO VALUE AT ALL

EXCEPT TO ME.

I CAN SEE YOU TREASURE

IT VERY HIGHLY:

BY THE STRONG CHAIN

YOU WEAR IT ON.

DO YOU ALSO WANT TO

QUESTION THE TEACHERS?

YES, BUT WE'LL

LET YOU KNOW WHEN.

GOOD-BYE,

AND THANKS AGAIN.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

NANCY.

MISS BRANDING...

I'M FRIGHTENED.

YOU'VE GOT

TO HELP ME.

YOU MUST TELL ME,

MISS BRANDING,

WHO--WHO AM I?

WHAT AM I DOING?

I'M LIVING

A NIGHTMARE.

A HORRIBLE URGE:

COMES OVER ME.

I FEEL A STRENGTH

THAT'S ALMOST FRIGHTENING.

IT--IT TAKES POSSESSION

OF ME.

I MUST DO SOMETHING AWFUL,

BUT WHEN I TRY:

TO REMEMBER...

ALL I CAN SEE IS...

YOU.

I'VE GOT TO KNOW,

MISS BRANDING.

YOU WILL.

AND WHEN YOU KNOW

THE WHOLE TRUTH,

WHEN YOU REALIZE

THE PART THAT YOU'VE PLAYED

IN SAVING MANKIND

FROM HIS OWN DESTRUCTION,

YOU'LL BE PROUD.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,

WHAT I DO...

WHAT YOU MAKE ME DO,

I FEEL IT'S WRONG.

WRONG--

WHO'S THE JUDGE OF THAT?

THERE'S AS MUCH MERIT

TO ONE SIDE AS TO THE OTHER.

THE FINAL RESULT

WILL JUSTIFY EVERYTHING.

GO BACK TO CLASS.

EMPTY YOUR MIND OF DOUBTS

OR MISGIVINGS.

REMEMBER, THE DEED

AND THE RESPONSIBILITY ARE MINE.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

LIKE MASTER:

AND SLAVE?

LIKE BRAIN AND ARM.

PUT IT OUT:

OF YOUR MIND.

GO ON, NANCY.

GO BACK TO CLASS.

I CAME AS SOON:

AS I GOT YOUR MESSAGE.

THANK YOU,

MISS BRANDING.

OH, I NEED YOUR HELP

DESPERATELY,

AND I KNOW:

I CAN TRUST YOU.

I'M ALSO TRYING

TO CONTROL MY NERVES,

BUT IT IS:

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

YOU SEE, YOU MIGHT SAY

THAT SHERWOOD SCHOOL

IS UNDER BOMBARDMENT.

EVERYTHING:

I'VE WORKED FOR,

BUILT UP WITH LOVE

AND PATIENCE:

BEING DESTROYED BECAUSE--

BECAUSE OF THESE

DREADFUL TRAGEDIES.

A DOZEN STUDENTS HAVE

BEEN PULLED OUT OF SCHOOL

BY PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

IN THE LAST TWO DAYS.

AND THE STATE SUPERVISOR

THREATENS TO CLOSE SHERWOOD.

[CRYING]

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL,

MRS. THORNDYKE.

PLEASE CALL ON ME.

ANYTHING I CAN DO,

ANYTHING.

THANK YOU,

MISS BRANDING.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO

TAKE OVER:

SOME OF MY:

ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES

WHICH WILL LEAVE ME FREE

TO TALK TO PARENTS,

TO REPORTERS,

TO KEEP DOWN HYSTERIA

UNTIL THE POLICE CATCH

THIS FIEND,

THIS MONSTROUS KILLER.

OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

AS LONG AS:

I HAVE A CHANCE,

I MUST KEEP ON FIGHTING

TO SAVE THE SCHOOL.

I'LL HELP

IN ANY WAY I CAN.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MYRA, COME IN.

I CAME AS SOON AS

I GOT YOUR NOTE,

MISS BRANDING.

MRS. THORNDYKE WANTS ME

TO TAKE OVER:

SOME OF HER:

ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES,

SO I WON'T HAVE TIME

FOR CLASS.

I WANT YOU TO SUBSTITUTE

FOR ME TOMORROW.

JUST REVIEW WHAT

WE'VE STUDIED SO FAR

AND CORRECT:

ALL THE PAPERS.

YES, MISS BRANDING.

ARE YOU EXPERIMENTING

ON YOUR OWN AGAIN?

YES, I HAD TO CHECK

SOME DETAILS.

WHEN YOU TRANSFORM POWER

FROM ONE SUBSTANCE TO ANOTHER,

FROM A LOWER SPHERE

TO A HIGHER SPHERE,

YOU HAVE TO BE SURE.

GOOD NIGHT, DEAR.

I KNOW YOU'LL MAKE

A GOOD SUBSTITUTE.

BUT I'LL NEVER BE

THE TEACHER YOU ARE,

MISS BRANDING.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

OH.

NANCY.

AH, GLENN.

I'M SORRY IF I

FRIGHTENED YOU, BABY,

BUT I'VE BEEN WAITING

HERE FOR HOURS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL, I HAD

TO SEE YOU.

I BORROWED:

DAD'S CAR,

AND I CUT:

TWO CLASSES:

AND MADE THE 300 MILES

IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS.

AREN'T YOU GLAD

TO SEE ME?

NANCY,

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

ALL THE PAPERS:

ARE FULL OF:

SCARE HEADLINES:

ABOUT SHERWOOD SCHOOL,

AND WITH THIS FIEND

RUNNING LOOSE,

I WAS NEARLY:

OUT OF MY MIND:

WORRYING ABOUT YOU.

I JUST HAD:

TO SEE YOU.

I'M ALL RIGHT, GLENN.

I'M PERFECTLY

ALL RIGHT.

HOW WOULD:

I KNOW THAT?

ONE LETTER FROM YOU

THE FIRST WEEK,

AND THEN AFTER THAT,

YOU STOP WRITING.

NOBODY CRAMS:

THAT MUCH.

NANCY, IS THERE

ANYTHING WRONG?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

I MEAN BETWEEN US.

NO, GLENN.

LET'S GO SOMEPLACE

WHERE WE CAN--

WHERE WE CAN TALK,

NANCY.

I TRIED TO SEE YOU

EARLIER, BUT I--

I COULDN'T GET BY

A MISS BRANDING.

SHE'S A REAL CREEP.

SHE SAID:

NO VISITORS ALLOWED.

I ASKED HER WHAT ARE

YOU RUNNING HERE,

A DUNGEON?

SHE PRACTICALLY:

TOSSED ME OUT.

BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED,

THEY'RE VERY STRICT.

THAT'S ALL.

WHERE CAN WE GO,

NANCY?

I DON'T KNOW, GLENN.

I DON'T KNOW ANY PLACE

THAT'S SAFE.

WELL, LET'S JUST GO

AND SIT IN THE CAR.

WE HAVE TO TALK.

I'VE GOT TO GET THIS

THING STRAIGHTENED OUT.

NO, GLENN, YOU MUSTN'T.

WHAT AM I ALL OF

A SUDDEN, POISON?

NOT EVEN ONE KISS?

PLEASE, GLENN!

YOU SAID YOU WANTED

TO TALK.

ALL RIGHT,

WE'LL TALK FIRST.

LOOK, NANCY, I'M--

I'M SICK.

I'M WORRIED SICK

ABOUT YOU...

ABOUT BOTH OF US.

ALL THOSE WONDERFUL

PLANS WE MADE,

GOING TO STATE:

COLLEGE TOGETHER,

THEN AFTER THAT,

THE OTHER PLANS.

KIDS MAKE PLANS.

DREAM STUFF.

YOU MEANT EVERY WORD

YOU SAID.

I KNOW I DID.

BUT THE WAY YOU ACT

AND SPEAK TONIGHT,

I'VE LOST

MY COMPASS.

I--I DON'T KNOW

WHERE WE'RE HEADING.

LOOK, I'M GONNA

ASK YOU ONCE MORE,

IS THERE:

ANYTHING WRONG?

MAYBE.

NANCY, PLEASE, WHAT ARE

YOU TRYING TO SAY TO ME?

I DON'T KNOW, GLENN.

I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE,

AND UNTIL I DO,

YOU MUST GO BACK. PLEASE!

I WON'T.

NOT HERE,

I TELL YOU.

GO BACK BEFORE:

IT'S TOO LATE!

NANCY!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MISS BRANDING.

WHAT IS IT, NANCY?

OH, MISS BRANDING,

YOU MUST HELP ME.

WELL, I THOUGHT

I CONVINCED YOU:

I AM HELPING YOU.

NO, I DON'T MEAN

THOSE FANCY PHRASES

ABOUT MANKIND AND

THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE.

I MEAN HELP FOR ME.

YOU'VE GOT TO

SET ME FREE.

FREE TO DO WHAT?

FREE TO BE MYSELF.

I JUST LEFT GLENN,

MY BOYFRIEND.

YOU TRIED TO STOP HIM

FROM SEEING ME.

I DIDN'T THINK

THAT WAS IMPORTANT.

IT'S THE ONLY

IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE.

I LOVE HIM.

I KNOW THAT.

THAT'S WHY I TRIED

TO PREVENT HIM:

FROM SEEING YOU.

NANCY, I CAN'T RISK

HAVING YOU UPSET.

AT THIS POINT:

OF MY EXPERIMENT,

OUR EXPERIMENT,

YOUR EMOTIONAL STABILITY

IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

IN THE SCALE:

OF THE FUTURE,

IT'S BIGGER

THAN ANYTHING.

CERTAINLY BIGGER

THAN ADOLESCENT LOVE

BETWEEN A COUPLE

OF TEENAGERS.

WHAT I FEEL FOR GLENN

YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND.

I'M ASKING YOU

TO SET ME FREE.

DON'T CONFUSE ME

ANY LONGER:

WITH THIS TALK:

OF A BIG EXPERIMENT.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE,

AND I KNOW WHAT:

YOU'VE DONE TO ME.

WHEN I WAS:

IN HIS ARMS,

INSTEAD OF FEELING

WHAT I SHOULD,

I ALMOST KILLED HIM.

YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME.

IT'S TOO LATE, NANCY.

WE--

YOU AND I TOGETHER--

WE MUST GO TO THE END
