The Night Walker Page #5

---

Relax now,

don't fight me, relax.

I can't help it.

Why hasn't Barry called?

Hold still.

Please.

Do you smell smoke?

Must be your imagination.

I like snow.

Why are you always so worried

about smoke, Mrs. Trent?

I suppose it reminds me

of Howard.

He died in an explosion.

Imagination is a funny thing,

isn't it, Mrs. Trent?

Well, you know

how upset I've been lately.

Sometimes I don't know

what to believe or...

or who to trust.

Try not to think about it.

Just let yourself go.

Oh, that does feel good.

What are you doing?

Your jaw muscles

are all tightened up,

this will help relax you.

You'll sleep well tonight.

No more dreams.

No, I won't go to sleep.

How can I, supposing

he comes in at night?

- Who are you talking about?

- Howard.

Mrs. Trent, you just told me

your husband died

in an explosion.

Why doesn't Barry call?

I don't know.

Please you must get some rest.

No, I won't. I can't!

But you must go to sleep.

Oh, Joyce, I am so frightened.

Do you want me

to stay here with you?

Oh, would you?

Would you, please?

- Just until Barry calls.

- Of course.

But you must try

to get some rest.

- I'll be right here.

- Alright.

Alright.

Joyce.

God!

Oh.

- What's the matter?

- Oh, Barry.

Barry, it's Joyce, she's dead.

In my room.

It's no use Barry,

the wire has been cut.

You're right Irene,

Howard is alive.

He tried to kill me

at the house.

- Oh, no.

- You wait here.

- Where are you going?

- He must have gone

back to the house.

I've gotta try and stop him

- before it's too late.

- Oh, please, Barry,

take me with you.

I-- I can't stay here.

You can call from here.

Call the police

to send a squad car right away.

- You can't go in there alone.

- Don't worry.

I have company.

Help!

Help.

I'm burning.

- Help!

- Barry.

- I am burning.

- Barry, open it.

- I'm on fire.

- Barry!

Barry.

Barry.

Howard.

It wasn't an accident.

You murdered him.

Then took his place.

But why?

For Howard's money.

He left a will

leaving everything to you.

But, uh, blind men can't read.

So I wrote my name in

as the beneficiary.

He never knew the difference.

But George Fuller did.

God. That-- That detective...

He was in on it?

George Fuller is a fool.

He saw me come here

at the laboratory

at the night of the explosion.

Tried to blackmail me...

but you came to my rescue.

- Me?

- Yes, you and your...

silly dream of a young lover.

We made a deal to use that dream

to get rid of you.

And the nightmares began.

You're truly

a remarkable woman, Irene.

Anyone else would have been

driven out of their mind.

You didn't break.

You know in a way I've come

to be very fond of you.

Two bullets, Irene.

I fired those to get you

into this house.

Oh, no!

You're George Fuller.

He killed her.

He killed Joyce.

You knew Joyce?

She was my wife.

Barry had it all well planned.

I saw him rig the real explosion

that killed Howard.

And the fake one

that frightened you.

Think he had it all worked out.

This switch controls

the electric current,

that's why the clocks

went off and on.

And this controlled the explosion.

Barry promised me

half the estates,

and I agreed.

Then he got greedy.

I heard him talk to you

in the chapel today, and I knew

he planned to double cross me,

he wanted all the money.

I tried to stop him

when he came here today...

to kill Joyce, and he meant

to kill you and me.

Well, I never planned murder.

Now there's no choice.

There'll be another fire

here tonight.

Oh no, no, please.

Please, no! No!

Nothing will remain.

No.

Please, no. No.

No. No.

Oh no, please.

No! No!

No!
