00:
59:01,840 -- 00:59:05,833I fainted and I woke up
and it was all dark.
696
00:
59:05,880 -- 00:59:08,553I kept yelling
and yelling and yelling.
697
00:
59:08,640 -- 00:59:11,313Nobody heard me.
Nobody did anything.
698
00:
59:11,400 -- 00:59:13,675Then I didn't know where
I was and I got scared.
699
00:
59:13,760 -- 00:59:17,116It's okay.
It's all right.
700
00:
59:17,200 -- 00:59:20,875Ernest, I'm in the morgue.
701
00:
59:20,960 -- 00:59:23,110- Why am I in the morgue?
- Shh! It's okay. It's okay!
702
00:
59:23,160 -- 00:59:25,515Listen! I understand now.
It's incredible!
703
00:
59:25,560 -- 00:59:28,518It's physically impossible,
but now I understand it.
704
00:
59:28,560 -- 00:59:32,519- They think I'm dead, Ernest.
- Yes! But you're not!
705
00:
59:32,560 -- 00:59:35,279In the whole of recorded
medical history,
706
00:
59:35,320 -- 00:59:38,437this has never happened
to another single human.
707
00:
59:38,480 -- 00:59:42,155Yeah, so, why did it have
to happen to me?
708
00:
59:42,200 -- 00:59:45,317- Do you know what you are, darling?
- Uh-uh.
709
00:
59:45,360 -- 00:59:49,353You're a sign.
You're an omen, a burning bush!
710
00:
59:49,400 -- 00:59:51,994- I am?
- Of course you are.
711
00:
59:52,080 -- 00:59:54,799We're being told that
we belong together.
712
00:
59:54,880 -- 00:59:58,350And I'm being called.
I'm being challenged.
713
00:
59:58,440 -- 01:00:01,591Don't you see, Madeline?
It's a miracle!
714
01:
00:38,080 -- 01:00:40,594Oh, my God!
715
01:
01:04,080 -- 01:01:07,959Sh*t!
716
01:
01:23,920 -- 01:01:25,831Oh!
717
01:
01:51,920 -- 01:01:53,990Formaldehyde.
718
01:
01:54,040 -- 01:01:57,191What in God's name?
719
01:
02:26,600 -- 01:02:28,477Darn it.
720
01:
02:33,520 -- 01:02:35,397It's just not the right balance.
721
01:
02:35,440 -- 01:02:38,352- How's it goin', Ern?
- I don't wanna rush things, Madeline.
722
01:
02:38,440 -- 01:02:41,910Who keeps calling?
723
01:
02:42,000 -- 01:02:44,355- Huh?
- Who is that?
724
01:
02:44,400 -- 01:02:47,358I can't have these interruptions!
725
01:
02:50,040 -- 01:02:53,555I'm gonna need you
to hold very still.
726
01:
02:53,640 -- 01:02:55,995Oh!
727
01:
02:56,080 -- 01:02:59,197- What?
- Madeline!
728
01:
02:59,280 -- 01:03:02,511- I asked you to sit still.
- Mmm, what's the matter?
729
01:
03:02,600 -- 01:03:05,478- I need more turpentine now.
- Are we almost done?
730
01:
03:05,520 -- 01:03:08,910The highlights of your eyes
are unbalanced. Want people to stare?
731
01:
03:09,080 -- 01:03:13,631I can't use kerosene
because it'll affect the skin.
732
01:
03:16,120 -- 01:03:18,953Where is she?
733
01:
03:22,160 -- 01:03:26,039Oh, my gosh, Helen!
What are you doin' here?
734
01:
03:26,120 -- 01:03:28,509What's that on your hands?
Blood?
735
01:
03:28,560 -- 01:03:30,676- Paint!
- Paint?
736
01:
03:30,760 -- 01:03:32,637you have paint on your hands?
737
01:
03:32,720 -- 01:03:34,950- Painting.
- Ernest.
738
01:
03:35,040 -- 01:03:38,077with Madeline?
739
01:
03:38,160 -- 01:03:41,357- Define funny.
- Oh, come on, Ernest. Cough her up!
740
01:
03:41,400 -- 01:03:43,595Shh, shh, shh,
listen, Helen.
741
01:
03:43,680 -- 01:03:45,955- We should go outside and talk.
- Why are you whispering?
742
01:
03:46,000 -- 01:03:50,278- She's resting and in a foul mood.
- Are you nuts?
743
01:
03:50,320 -- 01:03:53,039- She's resting!
- She's not resting.
744
01:
03:53,080 -- 01:03:57,358She's dead, Ernest, just like we wanted,
just like we plotted together.
745
01:
03:57,440 -- 01:04:01,149Remember? You may have done it alone,
but I can't walk away now.
746
01:
04:01,200 -- 01:04:03,953- Not after you put us both in jeopardy!
- Shh!
747
01:
04:04,040 -- 01:04:08,352We have to bury her in Death Valley
and be done with her once and for all.
748
01:
04:08,400 -- 01:04:11,756- You have to listen to me.
- Stop waffling. She deserved it.
749
01:
04:11,840 -- 01:04:16,197She was a home wrecker.
She was a man-eater.
750
01:
04:16,240 -- 01:04:19,038And she was a bad... actress.
751
01:
04:19,120 -- 01:04:24,274- Would you please listen to me!
- Oh, stop it!
752
01:
04:24,360 -- 01:04:26,794Madeline is not ready
to be buried yet.
753
01:
04:26,840 -- 01:04:29,274- She's upstairs resting peacefully.
- Oh, fine!
754
01:
04:29,360 -- 01:04:31,476If she's not dead,
you tell her to come here.
755
01:
04:31,560 -- 01:04:33,915Tell her to come here,
walk right up to me...
756
01:
04:34,000 -- 01:04:36,434- and kiss me on the...
- Kiss you on the what?
757
01:
04:38,080 -- 01:04:42,471- Mad?
- Hel.
758
01:
04:42,560 -- 01:04:45,358- Darling.
- What have you two...
759
01:
04:45,400 -- 01:04:49,359been plotting down here
or should I say, what else?
760
01:
04:49,400 -- 01:04:54,428Are you angry, dear?
Are you very angry?
761
01:
04:54,480 -- 01:04:58,951- It's alive.
- Madeline?
762
01:
04:59,040 -- 01:05:03,272Oh, boy! Helen, I think you
763
01:
05:03,320 -- 01:05:07,074I see a very bad
situation developing here.
764
01:
05:07,120 -- 01:05:10,590Dear? Madeline?
765
01:
05:20,120 -- 01:05:22,156I just want you
to know one thing, Hel.
766
01:
05:23,640 -- 01:05:25,517You brought
this on yourself.
767
01:
05:25,560 -- 01:05:26,913Madeline!
768
01:
05:30,360 -- 01:05:32,874Oh, my God!
769
01:
05:34,560 -- 01:05:38,599- What have you done?
- What have I done? Defended myself.
770
01:
05:38,640 -- 01:05:40,835You plotter, coconspirator!
771
01:
05:40,880 -- 01:05:44,111- She's dead!
- She is?
772
01:
05:44,200 -- 01:05:48,557These are the moments
that make life worth living.
773
01:
05:48,600 -- 01:05:51,717My God, Madeline, that was horrible.
It was brutal.
774
01:
05:51,760 -- 01:05:54,672It was stupid!
The police, Madeline! The police!
775
01:
05:54,760 -- 01:05:57,672What are they gonna do? Put me
in the gas chamber? Big deal.
776
01:
05:57,720 -- 01:06:00,712Life in prison? Know what that
means to a person in your condition?
777
01:
06:00,760 -- 01:06:05,675- So negative. Let me enjoy the moment.
- What about the neighbors?
778
01:
06:05,760 -- 01:06:10,151Neighbors? In 12 years in Los Angeles,
have you ever seen a neighbor?
779
01:
06:10,200 -- 01:06:13,158Oh! I gotta think!
I gotta think!
780
01:
06:13,200 -- 01:06:15,111One of us has
to stay rational.
781
01:
06:15,200 -- 01:06:19,512I am completely rational.
We're going to bury her.
782
01:
06:19,600 -- 01:06:21,989In Death Valley.
You and I.
783
01:
06:22,040 -- 01:06:24,395I most certainly will not!
784
01:
06:24,440 -- 01:06:29,355Oh, no? Pretty strong words
for a murderer on the run,
785
01:
06:29,440 -- 01:06:32,796which is exactly
what you are, Ernest.
