Woman in Hiding Page #5

Why don't you tell me what's wrong,

what you're afraid of?

Why are you afraid of me?

Oh, I'm not.

I'm not afraid of you.

Then why don't you stay here tonight

and have dinner with me?

I'd like to, I really would, only...

That's enough.

You can't improve on that remark.

Come on. We're going to check you back

into your hotel

then we'll find a good restaurant.

You know, the kind that gives you

two olives with each martini?

Then we'll find a park

with a lake and uh...

you can relax by rowing me around.

Then when you get real tired

rowing me around the lake

you're going back to your hotel room

and get a good night's sleep.

How does that sound?

Sounds wonderful. But suppose

there's no lake in town?

You can get just as tired

pushing me around a dance floor.

Attention please,

bus 22 now loading for Raleigh

and will leave in 5 minutes.

Passengers please start loading.

Sorry, bud. The lady's with me.

Bus 22 is now loading for Raleigh.

Passengers please start loading.

Boy, if you could only cook.

It so happens I can.

I never would have thought it.

I had you tabbed as a social butterfly.

Why, Mr Ramsey, I bet you say that

to all the blondes.

Which reminds me.

We've known each other now about uh...

thirty hours.

Time you started calling me Keith.

Mr Ramsey is a rich uncle of mine,

a very dull fellow.

Well, in that case I do apologize.

It's all right, just don't

let it happen again.

Okay, Anne?

Okay, Keith.

Sounds wonderful.

Then the sun is going down

all bright and red

and there's a little breeze coming up

and maybe offshore you see a few sailboats

bobbing around in kind

of a lazy sort of way...

I can't describe it, Anne.

You gotta see a place like Angel's Cove,

you gotta live there to get the wonderful,

easy feeling.

You really love that place, don't you?

Yeah, I guess I do.

Of course, it's an ideal harbor. Wonderful

anchorage for small boats, you know.

You see, what I plan to do is have

a repair dock there.

Also build small boats of my own.

Maybe have a dozen cabins

for people who wanna stick around.

Looks like I talked us all the way home.

Oh, Keith, it's been

such a wonderful evening.

From the two olives in the martini

right down to Angel's Cove.

And now to top the evening off

with a night of peace and quiet.

I think you can use it.

I can. You know I really can.

Nobody gets by without a badge.

Here's a badge.

Looks like this place is fresh out

of peace and quiet.

It won't bother me. I'm too tired

to be kept up by anything.

Glad you didn't leave town tonight?

Oh, yes.

You know, it's been so long since I've

danced, since I've laughed so much.

You'll be dancing and laughing

at all the same places tomorrow night.

Same time tomorrow?

Oh... all right.

Well, uh...

Good night.

Hey, a pretty girl like this?

Aren't you gonna kiss her good night?

Why, it's unconstitutional, that's

what it is. It's unamerican.

If you don't kiss her,

I'll kiss her for you.

Well, they're twisting my arm, Anne...

I wouldn't want it broken on my account.

I don't care what you do,

go take all the blondes you want.

Missed it again.

Did you accept the invitation?

Hm-Hmm. Six, please.

Six? No, it's the ninth.

Everybody here's having party.

It only stops at the ninth floor.

Ninth floor only.

I guess we're going to the ninth floor.

Hey, you know something?

No, what?

There's nothing the matter with you.

Who says there was?

Nobody. Just my imagination.

Sometimes it gets overstimulated.

I'm using the stairs.

I'm going to bed.

Wait for me.

I'm so tired.

Please, wait.

See you tomorrow.

Keith.

No... no...

No...

No.

No.

Uh-oh. Detour, detour...

Men at work.

Wow, what a party.

Come on, forget her.

You don't wanna be

a one woman man in a convention.

Let go of me.

How do you like a guy like that?

Bashful.

Hey, wait for me.

No, he isn't. But I expect him any

time now. Can I take a message?

Oh, wait a minute please,

he just walked in.

Good morning, Mr Clark.

Good morning.

How's your headache, any better?

Oh, better. I slept like a log.

Who's that?

The same party that called you yesterday

from Knoxville.

Do you want to talk to him?

Yes.

Hello. Hello, Mr Clark?

This is Keith Ramsey again.

I'm afraid I owe you an apology.

No, this girl isn't Mrs Clark.

Nothing definite, but...

I thought you said she was pretty mixed up.

Had something on her mind.

Sure she's got something on her mind.

Who hasn't? But she certainly hasn't got

amnesia or anything like it.

Well, maybe her name isn't Anne Carter, but

I don't think it's Deborah Carter either.

Suppose you keep an eye on her

just to be sure.

I'll send you a check tonight,

for your time.

No, I couldn't take any money for that.

I was gonna keep an eye on her anyway.

I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong.

Well, naturally if I find out that I am,

I'll call you.

Only, don't expect to hear from me.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Hello.

Hello, Anne, how are you?

I was just thinking of calling you.

As a matter of fact I've been thinking

about calling you since five this morning.

What's the matter?

Why, yes, of course.

Sure, I'll be there right away.

Anne.

Who is it?

It's me.

Keith? Yes, of course.

What's the matter?

I really didn't want to call you.

All night I tried not to.

But then it was morning and I knew

I had to leave this room sometime.

He's out there somewhere waiting for me.

Who is?

Oh, Keith, can I trust you?

Of course you can trust me.

You don't know what it was like.

He just appeared out of nowhere.

I told him he could keep the mill.

I really don't want it, Keith.

I don't, I don't.

Then he came after me down the stairs.

He tried to kill me.

Who tried to kill you?

Then some of those salesmen came in

and he knew he couldn't do it.

Because then it wouldn't look like suicide.

So I got away.

I've been sitting here all night

just watching that door.

I can trust you, can't I?

Sure, Anne.

My name's not Anne.

I'm not Anne Carter.

I'm Deb... Deborah Chandler.

They all think I'm dead.

Maybe you read about it in the papers.

That was the first time

he tried to kill me.

The day we were married.

It's when I crashed in the car.

They called it suicide,

but they couldn't find my body.

Whay are you staring at me?

What's the matter?

Nothing, Anne. Nothing.

That's why I had to change my name,

so he couldn't find me again.

But he's found me anyway, and now...

There's nobody out there now.

Yes, he is. Somewhere.

Waiting.

Because he wants the mill and he knows

I'll never let him have it.

Never.

Because he killed my father.

Only I can't prove it.

Oh, Keith, you will help me,

won't you, please?

Of course. If I can.

That place in Califronia where

you're going, Angel's Cove.

They wouldn't know me there.

Take me with you. I can hide.

Look, Anne.

Why don't you try to get some sleep?

Oh, please, it'll be

only for a little while.

Just until Patricia Monahan

gets back to Raleigh.

She knows Selden is a murderer too.
