[music] What have I done?
[music] Have I been wrong?
[music] Friends I have known
[music] And troubled so long
[music] And adding to the misery
[music] I can't find no one to love me
[music] Sometimes I drink
[music] Sometimes I cry
[music] I don't want to think
[music] Why must I try?
[music] I wonder will this always be?
[music] I can't find no one to love me
[music] I want to hold
someone that's true
[music] And not be told
[music] What I should do
[music] But I must pray, I must
pray to the lord up above
[music] To please send
me someone to love
[music] Someone to love
[music] Nobody cares
[music] Nobody cares
- Yes?
- Is Dr. Stein in?
- Yes he is, do you have an appointment?
- No I don't but I'm sure he'll see me.
Would you please tell him
it's Dr. Winifred Walker.
- Come in please.
- Thank you.
- Make yourself comfortable.
I'll tell Dr. Stein you're here.
- Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
(buzzer buzzing)
- Yes Malcomb what is it?
- [Malcomb] Dr. Stein, a
Dr. Winifred Walker is here.
- Oh, yes, Dr. Winifred Walker.
Bring her down to the laboratory.
- [Malcomb] Dr. Stein
would like to see you
in his laboratory.
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
- Well well well.
- Dr. Stein, it's so
good to see you again.
- My goodness you look wonderful.
How long has it been?
- Oh I guess about three years.
Yes, because I've had my PHD
in physics now for two years.
I've never forgotten the year and a half
I spent studying under you.
- Malcomb Dr. Walker's
a former pupil of mine.
- How do you do Malcomb?
- Fine Dr. Waler.
- Well what brings you to California?
- Well I just arrived from New York.
My fiance was wounded in Vietnam
and the doctors there wrote and told me
he was being transferred to
the veteran's hospital here.
He was seriously wounded
when a land mine went off under him.
- Oh I'm sorry to here that.
- I've decided to move
here to be near him.
I've got to help him
in whatever way I can.
(thunder cracking)
(suspenseful music)
Dr. Stein, I don't know how to thank you
for this wonderful opportunity.
- I want to thank you for coming to me.
You just stick by my side.
There's so very much to be done.
- I read the results of
you're winning the Nobel Prize
in the medical journals and
I've also read other doctors
commenting on your success.
Actually I was hoping
there'd be some way
I could stay on with you.
You know I've got to help Eddie.
Doctor I'd like you to look at him.
To see if maybe there's
something you could do for him.
- What seems to be the problem?
- Well,
I'd really rather not say right now.
But you know he's coming in tomorrow,
tomorrow morning.
Perhaps if we could we see
our way clear in the afternoon
we could go to see him?
- Alright.
I think I'll be free about
two in the afternoon.
Now let's go meet the patients.
Time for your injection Eleanor.
I'd like you to meet my new
assistant Dr. Winifred Walker.
- I'm happy to meet you Dr. Walker.
- Please, call me Winifred.
- Alright, Winifred.
(suspenseful music)
- Through my experience
with the genetic code DNA
I have a formula that's brought her
from approximately 90 years of age
to what you see before you.
- [Winifred] The results are incredible.
- But not without a few problems
as Eleanor will tell you.
It's necessary that
she have an injection
every 12 hours to
preserve this condition.
The DNA formula just isn't taking hold.
We must work on a locking feature.
I'm afraid if she went
more than 24 hours
without an injection she would
go from her present condition
back to her 90's and
progressively older.
Eleanor, you go to sleep now.
We'll see you later.
(suspenseful music)
The complexities of Eleanor's case
are very interesting Winifred.
You might spend some time
going over her records.
- Alright Doctor I will.
- Good evening Bruno.
- Good evening Doctor,
it's time again huh?
- Yes, I'd like you to
meet my new assistant,
Dr. Winifred Walker.
- Hello Bruno.
- Hello.
- I'm going to be working
with Dr. Stein from here on
and I'll be here helping you.
(thunder cracking)
(suspenseful music)
- Now look at this Winifred.
This leg was grafted on
by laser beam fusion,
supplemented by massive
injections of my DNA formula.
Hardly any scar at all
and in time the scar will
be totally irradiated.
You feel that Bruno?
- Yes.
- Now he receives a shot daily.
The area of injection
is all around the scar.
Alcohol Malcomb.
- Alcohol, Doctor.
(thunder cracking)
- And DNA.
- DNA.
(suspenseful music)
- Now Winifred.
(suspenseful music)
That's the result of an
unsolved RNA injection.
Sort of a part of the primeval theory,
a kind of throwback to the jungle.
I'm currently working
on the RNA formula.
I'm hoping to bolster
and supplant the DNA,
possibly replace it.
I hope that the RNA when solved
will not require daily
injections like the DNA does.
We'll check with you later Bruno.
- Goodbye Doctor.
(suspenseful music)
- [Dr. Stein] Winifred
you've never told me
exactly what's wrong with Eddie.
- [Winifred] Oh, remember I told you
about that land mine explosion?
Well Eddie lost both his arms and legs.
(intercom buzzing)
- [Woman] Dr. Cantor report
to the admissions desk.
- Yes may I help you?
- We're looking for a Mr. Eddie Turner.
- Excuse me.
Excuse me Mrs. Wayne,
do you know anything about a
patient named Eddie Turner?
- Eddie Turner,
Eddie Turner, he's in ward
five, that's intensive care.
I'll have to accompany you.
If you'll just step over to that door
I'll press a button, they'll let you in.
- Can I have some ice cream?
- What the hell'd you say?
- Can I have some ice cream?
- Ice cream?
Like hell, this ain't no damn hotel.
- But my throat's dry.
- Tough.
Hey, hey, why don't you reach over there
and have a nice cool drink of water huh?
(laughing)
Ah the hell with you.
You think I got time
to be running upstairs
and around and all over
just because one of you guys
wants special attention?
What the hell's so special about you
just 'cause you're layering there huh?
Well the hell with you.
You know they called
me to the service to.
I went down there, I was 45 inches,
17 and a quarter, 28 inch waist,
I walked down there like this
and you know I get down there and I,
and I,
I get rejected, you
know they don't take me,
the old ticker there,
from weight lifting.
Oh what the hell am I
even telling you this for?
Big deal you laying there.
You know it's my taxes
and my friends taxes
that are gonna keep you there.
We gotta take care of you.
Big deal, what the hell did you go for?
You didn't have to go.
You know that old scam, patriotism huh?
To hell with you.
Why don't you take a
look at yourself huh?
You look like a creep
laying there, looking up at me
with those stupid eyes of yours,
what the hell do you know?
I'll close those eyes for you.
Time for your shot buddy.
Nice big needle.
Just relax.
- His room is right down
there two doors to the right.
- Thank you.
- Pardon me but we're
looking for Eddie Turner.
- Yeah, he's right here.
But hey look you only
got another 20 minutes,
20 minutes visiting time huh?
- [Dr. Stein] Thank you.
- Eddie.
- Winifred, why are you here?
- I know you said we shouldn't
see each other any more,
but I just had to.
Eddie this is Dr. Stein.
The doctor I studied with
when I was in school.
Remember I told you about him
when I was in Hawaii to see you.
I brought him here today because we,
because we want to help you.
If you'll let us.
- Eddie I would like to do
anything I can to help you.
Although I can't offer
you any positive promises
I have been working in the
field of replacing limbs.
With your permission
I would like to see what
can be done in your case.
- There's nothing anybody can do for me.
- [Dr. Stein] Now Eddie don't
throw out the possibilities.
- Yes Eddie, Dr. Stein
just won the Nobel Prize
for solving the DNA genetic code.
- I don't know Doctor.
- Once again I can
offer you no promises,
other than my good
results in the laboratory.
I would like to very much work with you
and to help you.
But you must want to help yourself.
If you do, and you're
willing to undergo long hours
of operating procedure and treatment
I think you'll have quite a
surprise, quite a surprise.
(soul music)
[music] Nobody cares
[music] Nobody shares
[music] Life is that
way each and every day
[music] I wonder will this, will
this, will this always
[music] Always be?
[music] I can't find no one to love me
[music] Oh, oh lonely old me
[music] Oh lord I can not find
[music] No one to love me
(buzzing)
(machines beeping)
(electricity sparking)
(suspenseful music)
- [Winifred] Eddie, when Dr.
Stein completes his surgery
we can go on with our plans
just as if nothing ever happened.
- [Eddie] Do you think so Winifred?
- [Winifred] Oh yes Eddie.
- [Eddie] I hope so.
- It will, it'll work
out just fine you'll see.
I do love you so.
(suspenseful music)
This is going to be your
first injection of DNA Eddie.
We're preparing your
body for the operation.
All set?
- Yes it is Doctor.
I prepared it in the lab.
(suspenseful music)
- Dr. Stein says our work
will be in three stages.
(suspenseful music)
We'll be taking you
down to the laboratory
to begin work tonight
but for now you just
relax and get some rest.
(suspenseful music)
(thunder cracking)
(suspenseful music)
(machines buzzing)
- Now Eddie we're going
to give you an injection
that will put you to sleep.
When you wake up the work
will be one third completed.
- Okay Doctor.
(machines beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder cracking)
- Eddie,
try not to worry, I'll
be right by your side.
- Alright Dr. Walker let's proceed.
Switch number one.
(electricity sparking)
(suspenseful music)
(electricity sparking)
Well I believe the
operation will be a success.
(dog barking)
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
(dog barking)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder cracking)
Eddie, what do you feel?
- It was my middle finger.
- That's correct.
Eddie tonight we begin the
final phase of your surgery.
- Dr. Stein, how long
do you think it'll be
before Eddie's completely whole again?
- If all goes well tonight,
why we can complete the entire process.
- That's good Doctor.
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
- Malcomb, you startled me.
- There's something I'd
like for you to know.
- Yes?
- Winifred ever since you came here
I thought of nothing but
you both day and night.
There isn't anything in this
world I wouldn't do for you.
I've fallen in love with you.
- Malcomb, you have been very kind to me
and I appreciate it and I do like you.
It would be hard not to,
but you must realize I love Eddie
and as soon as he's well
we're going to be married.
I hope you understand this
doesn't effect our friendship.
- Alright Winifred.
(suspenseful music)
- Malcomb.
(suspenseful music)
- Primeval theory, primeval theory,
primeval theory, primeval theory.
Throwback, throwback,
throwback, throwback.
Jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle.
Prehistoric, prehistoric, prehistoric.
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
Right there Malcomb.
(suspenseful music)
Well I believe we're ready
for the final stages of our operation.
- Fine Doctor, I'm ready.
- Switch one.
(electricity sparking)
(thunder booming)
(electricity sparking)
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
Oh the fusion looks excellent Winifred.
- Great Doctor.
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
- This is Eddie's DNA formula,
prepare two injections please.
(machines beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
Well Winifred Eddie should
be up and around today.
- Dr. Stein, I know he's been
up and about with the walker
but are you saying
that he's going to be
walking unassisted today?
- Yes Winifred, from this
point on with hard work
he should soon walk like any normal man.
(suspenseful music)
Eleanor you haven't
been listening to me.
I knew this would happen,
you've been up and about too much.
Now I want you to stay in bed
and stay in bed until I
tell you you can get up
do you understand?
- I know I've been overdoing it,
but I've been looking at the sunsets
and the beautiful evenings.
Oh please I want to be free, I
want to be with people again.
- It will happen all in due time,
but you must conserve your
energy and stay quiet.
Winifred look at this.
See she's backsliding.
- There is quite a
noticeable difference.
- Eleanor I'll be back to see you later.
You stay in bed now.
(suspenseful music)
- Eddie.
- Yes?
- Dr. Stein and I are here.
How are you feeling tonight?
- I don't feel right.
I just don't feel right.
- Now Eddie you've been through a lot
and you've held up remarkably well.
I think we'll get you up
for a little exercise,
it'll make you feel 100% better.
All our tests show
that you have total use
of your faculties.
- [Eddie] I don't know Doctor.
- Dr. Stein, look at this.
(suspenseful music)
- Find Malcomb, prepare
the room next to the lab.
Tell him to get here with a
gurney, we have to work fast.
(suspenseful music)
- Good evening Dr...
(suspenseful music drowning out talking)
- The brain is dying, it looks
like complete cortical death.
- Dr. Stein the cell
matching tests seem alright.
So there couldn't have been any error
in our selection of the transplant part.
- All the blood tests seem alright.
No clotting or thickening.
Run all the blood tests again.
(thunder booming)
(bell ringing)
(distant talking)
(suspenseful music)
We have to get to him quickly.
He can develop superhuman strength.
(suspenseful music)
(shouting in a foreign language)
This is not too unusual Winifred,
it happens occasionally after the shot.
But the patient calms down.
Very soon he turns to normal.
That is outside of the
obvious RNA effects.
- I understand Doctor.
(distant thunder booming)
Eddie.
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
- Eddie, how do you feel?
(suspenseful music)
We'll increase the
injections by 50 cc's.
(suspenseful music)
(bubbling)
(thunder booming)
(machines pulsating)
(suspenseful music)
(groaning)
(suspenseful music)
- Nice cool drink of water.
Patriotism.
The bands are playing, drums are going,

Creep, freak, ghoul.
Keep on lying there.

(dog whining)
- Nelson.
Nelson, Nelson I think
that was my dog barking.
- No it was nothing.
(dog whining)
(suspenseful music)
- Listen that dog never barks
unless something's wrong.
He doesn't just bark for
nothing now go see about it.
- [Nelson] Oh that dogs
been yapping all night long.
- Nelson, the sooner you go
out and see about that dog
the sooner you can get back in bed
and take up where we left off.
...Okay, okay.
- Now that's a good boy.

you for a long time now.

Look, don't.
...Okay...
- I don't know what you're like,
so just cool it baby.
(rock music on radio)
Look why don't you just take me home?
I think I'd like to go home.
- You have beautiful hair.
- Yeah I know I do.
- Aren't you proud of it?
- Yeah I'm proud of it,
now how about just taking me home?
- Do you like to have it touched?
- No I don't like to have it touched.
Now if you would just put
your hands on the wheel,
lay off, and I want to go home, now.
Alright that's it.
- Calm down.
- That's it.
- Calm down, calm down.
- Look don't call me
baby, I'll call you.
- You know I might as well
be alone as be with you.
- Yes you are.
(rock music on radio)
(suspenseful music)
(grunting)
(screaming)
(grunting)
(suspenseful music)
- Winifred, I'd like to see
you in the laboratory please.
(electricity sparking)
(grunting)
Oh no.
(grunting)
Eddie, no Eddie, no Eddie, no Eddie, no.
- [Winifred] No no.
(screaming)
No stop it Eddie.
(grunting)
(suspenseful music)
- Malcomb, Malcomb get
down here at once, hurry.
(suspenseful music)
Come on Winifred,
we'll have to get Malcomb
to lock him in I'm afraid.
(suspenseful music)
(doorbell ringing)
(suspenseful music)
- This way gentlemen.
(suspenseful music)
Excuse me Doctor,
but two men from the police
department are here to see you.
I'll show them in.
(suspenseful music)
- Dr. Stein?
- Yes.
- I'm Captain Tucker and
this is Lieutenant Jackson.
I hope you don't mind
answering a few questions.
- Not at all Captain.
- [Jackson] How many patients
do you have here Doctor?
- Just three at this time.
- And one of them you brought
in from the veteran's hospital
is that right?
- That's right a man
with no arms and no legs.
- [Tucker] And the other two?
- A man and a woman.
The man is confined to his
room under strict surveillance.
- And the woman?
- The woman is suffering
from a rare blood disease,
she's been here about six months.
- Well we're talking with everybody
in the neighborhood Doctor
hoping that we might
pick up a possible lead.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Good and we'll be
checking back with you.
- Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
(banging)
(distant soul music)
(wind howling)
- Let's hear applause.
(applauding)
Let me tell you what
happened to me the other day.
(heart throbbing)
(grunting)
(screaming)
And a girl walked in, a guy had a dog.
The guy told the bartender, he said,
"I want a shot scotch for me
and shot of scotch for my dog."
The guy said "man we don't
serve no dogs in this bar."
- The guy said, "man
this is no ordinary dog."
"This is a talking dog."
The guy said, "man we don't
serve no dogs in the bar."
He said, "tell him what you want,"
the dog said, "man I
want a shot of scotch."
(laughing)
The guys says, "I'll be darned,"
"his dog can't talk he
must be a ventriloquist."
He said, "okay I'm going
to the bathroom,"
"dog you tell him what you want."
The dog said, "man you gonna
give me a shot of that scotch?"
And he said, "I'll be darned,"
"if you really can talk
here's five dollars,"
"go down to the liquor store"
"and get me a pack of cigarettes."
Dog takes off down to the liquor store,
guy comes out the bathroom
says, "where's my dog?"
He said, "man I didn't
think the dog could talk"
"so I gave five dollars
to go to a liquor store."
He said, "man I paid
$10,000 for that dog"
"somebody might steal my dog."
(laughing)
So he's up and down the street.
Three hours looking for his
dog, he couldn't find it.
So he's sitting on a
garbage can in an alley,
he's tired and from
the back of the alley
he hears a strange sound.
The sound went something like this,
woo bow wow wow, ooh bow wow wow.
He jumps up and he runs
to the back of the alley
and there's his dog Rover.
Got a Cocker Spaniel jammed
between two garbage cans.
Rover's doing his thing.
Woo bow wow, woo bow
wow wow, oh bow bow.
He said, "Rover," Rover said, "what?"
He said, "what're you doing Rover?"
Rover said, "what does
it look like I'm doing?"
- He said, "shame on you Rover"
"I've never seen you do
anything like this before."
Rover said, "hey you
never sent me to the store"
"with five dollars before either."
(laughing)
Thank you, thank you very
much ladies and gentlemen.
At this time ladies and gentlemen
we like to bring the star of
our show back to the stage.
She's a fantastic lady so
let's put our hands together
and give a warm welcome
to the star of the show,
Ms. Cardella DeMilo
ladies and gentlemen.
Here she comes.
(applauding)
(soul music)
[music] If you have someone
that truly loves you
[music] You should be
thankful for what they do
[music] You should be thankful,
thankful, thankful
[music] Oh that someone loves you
[music] You could be lonely
[music] So sad and blue
(heart throbbing)
(grunting)
(heart throbbing)
(screaming)
(heart throbbing)
(suspenseful music)
(sirens blaring)
- I saw him officer.
He was about nine feet tall,
he looked like he was hurt.
Oh yeah, he went that way.
- The only thing down that way
is a cemetery and an abandoned factory.
- The only thing next
to that is a mansion,
Dr. Stein's mansion.
- Dr. Stein, let's check it out.
- Good idea.
Joe you better get the dogs.
(sirens blaring)
(grunting)
(suspenseful music)
Alright now just settle down
and tell me exactly what you saw.
- I told you once.
- Well give me a description
of what you saw then.
- I'll go over it just once more.
I just finished my gig,
I was out in the alley taking a smoke
like I normally do.
I heard this broad scream.
Then I took another puff,
when I looked up there
was a 15 feet shadow
in front of me
and you want me to explain that.
- Well what happened
after you saw the shadow?
- What happened?
Man I got the hell out of there.
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
- Feeling alright now Bruno?
- Yes Doctor I feel alright.
- Ah that's good.
There we go.
- He's calmed down quite a bit.
- Yes.
(suspenseful music)
Alcohol Malcomb.
(thunder booming)
- Feeling better?
- Yes thank you.
- Alcohol Doctor.
- And the DNA.
- DNA.

[music] What have I done?
[music] Have I been wrong?
[music] Friends I have known
[music] And troubled so long
[music] And adding to the misery
[music] I can't find no one to love me
[music] Sometimes I drink
[music] Sometimes I cry
[music] I don't want to think
[music] Why must I try?
[music] I wonder will this always be?
[music] I can't find no one to love me
[music] I want to hold
someone that's true
[music] And not be told
[music] What I should do
[music] But I must pray, I must
pray to the lord up above
[music] To please send
me someone to love

[music] Nobody cares
- Yes?
- Is Dr. Stein in?
- Yes he is, do you have an appointment?
- No I don't but I'm sure he'll see me.
Would you please tell him
it's Dr. Winifred Walker.
- Come in please.
- Thank you.
- Make yourself comfortable.
I'll tell Dr. Stein you're here.
- Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
(buzzer buzzing)
- Yes Malcomb what is it?
- [Malcomb] Dr. Stein, a
Dr. Winifred Walker is here.
- Oh, yes, Dr. Winifred Walker.
Bring her down to the laboratory.
- [Malcomb] Dr. Stein
would like to see you
in his laboratory.
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
- Well well well.
- Dr. Stein, it's so
good to see you again.
- My goodness you look wonderful.
How long has it been?
- Oh I guess about three years.
Yes, because I've had my PHD
in physics now for two years.
I've never forgotten the year and a half
I spent studying under you.
- Malcomb Dr. Walker's
a former pupil of mine.
- How do you do Malcomb?
- Fine Dr. Waler.
- Well what brings you to California?
- Well I just arrived from New York.
My fiance was wounded in Vietnam
and the doctors there wrote and told me
he was being transferred to
the veteran's hospital here.
He was seriously wounded
when a land mine went off under him.
- Oh I'm sorry to here that.
- I've decided to move
here to be near him.
I've got to help him
in whatever way I can.
(thunder cracking)
(suspenseful music)
Dr. Stein, I don't know how to thank you
for this wonderful opportunity.
- I want to thank you for coming to me.
You just stick by my side.
There's so very much to be done.
- I read the results of
you're winning the Nobel Prize
in the medical journals and
I've also read other doctors
commenting on your success.
Actually I was hoping
there'd be some way
I could stay on with you.
You know I've got to help Eddie.
Doctor I'd like you to look at him.
To see if maybe there's
something you could do for him.
- What seems to be the problem?
- Well,
I'd really rather not say right now.
But you know he's coming in tomorrow,
tomorrow morning.
Perhaps if we could we see
our way clear in the afternoon
we could go to see him?
- Alright.
I think I'll be free about
two in the afternoon.
Now let's go meet the patients.
Time for your injection Eleanor.
I'd like you to meet my new
assistant Dr. Winifred Walker.
- I'm happy to meet you Dr. Walker.
- Please, call me Winifred.
- Alright, Winifred.
(suspenseful music)
- Through my experience
with the genetic code DNA
I have a formula that's brought her
from approximately 90 years of age
to what you see before you.
- [Winifred] The results are incredible.
- But not without a few problems
as Eleanor will tell you.
It's necessary that
she have an injection
every 12 hours to
preserve this condition.
The DNA formula just isn't taking hold.
We must work on a locking feature.
I'm afraid if she went
more than 24 hours
without an injection she would
go from her present condition
back to her 90's and
progressively older.
Eleanor, you go to sleep now.
We'll see you later.
(suspenseful music)
The complexities of Eleanor's case
are very interesting Winifred.
You might spend some time
going over her records.
- Alright Doctor I will.
- Good evening Bruno.
- Good evening Doctor,
it's time again huh?
- Yes, I'd like you to
meet my new assistant,
Dr. Winifred Walker.
- Hello Bruno.
- Hello.
- I'm going to be working
with Dr. Stein from here on
and I'll be here helping you.
(thunder cracking)
(suspenseful music)
- Now look at this Winifred.
This leg was grafted on
by laser beam fusion,
supplemented by massive
injections of my DNA formula.
Hardly any scar at all
and in time the scar will
be totally irradiated.
You feel that Bruno?
- Yes.
- Now he receives a shot daily.
The area of injection
is all around the scar.
Alcohol Malcomb.
- Alcohol, Doctor.
(thunder cracking)
- And DNA.
- DNA.
(suspenseful music)
- Now Winifred.
(suspenseful music)
That's the result of an
unsolved RNA injection.
Sort of a part of the primeval theory,
a kind of throwback to the jungle.
I'm currently working
on the RNA formula.
I'm hoping to bolster
and supplant the DNA,
possibly replace it.
I hope that the RNA when solved
will not require daily
injections like the DNA does.
We'll check with you later Bruno.
- Goodbye Doctor.
(suspenseful music)
- [Dr. Stein] Winifred
you've never told me
exactly what's wrong with Eddie.
- [Winifred] Oh, remember I told you
about that land mine explosion?
Well Eddie lost both his arms and legs.
(intercom buzzing)
- [Woman] Dr. Cantor report
to the admissions desk.
- Yes may I help you?
- We're looking for a Mr. Eddie Turner.
- Excuse me.
Excuse me Mrs. Wayne,
do you know anything about a
patient named Eddie Turner?
- Eddie Turner,
Eddie Turner, he's in ward
five, that's intensive care.
I'll have to accompany you.
If you'll just step over to that door
I'll press a button, they'll let you in.
- Can I have some ice cream?
- What the hell'd you say?
- Can I have some ice cream?
- Ice cream?
Like hell, this ain't no damn hotel.
- But my throat's dry.
- Tough.
Hey, hey, why don't you reach over there
and have a nice cool drink of water huh?
(laughing)
Ah the hell with you.
You think I got time
to be running upstairs
and around and all over
just because one of you guys
wants special attention?
What the hell's so special about you
just 'cause you're layering there huh?
Well the hell with you.
You know they called
me to the service to.
I went down there, I was 45 inches,
17 and a quarter, 28 inch waist,
I walked down there like this
and you know I get down there and I,
and I,
I get rejected, you
know they don't take me,
the old ticker there,
from weight lifting.
Oh what the hell am I
even telling you this for?
Big deal you laying there.
You know it's my taxes
and my friends taxes
that are gonna keep you there.
We gotta take care of you.
Big deal, what the hell did you go for?
You didn't have to go.
You know that old scam, patriotism huh?
To hell with you.
Why don't you take a
look at yourself huh?
You look like a creep
laying there, looking up at me
with those stupid eyes of yours,
what the hell do you know?
I'll close those eyes for you.
Time for your shot buddy.
Nice big needle.
Just relax.
- His room is right down
there two doors to the right.
- Thank you.
- Pardon me but we're
looking for Eddie Turner.
- Yeah, he's right here.
But hey look you only
got another 20 minutes,
20 minutes visiting time huh?
- [Dr. Stein] Thank you.
- Eddie.
- Winifred, why are you here?
- I know you said we shouldn't
see each other any more,
but I just had to.
Eddie this is Dr. Stein.
The doctor I studied with
when I was in school.
Remember I told you about him
when I was in Hawaii to see you.
I brought him here today because we,
because we want to help you.
If you'll let us.
- Eddie I would like to do
anything I can to help you.
Although I can't offer
you any positive promises
I have been working in the
field of replacing limbs.
With your permission
I would like to see what
can be done in your case.
- There's nothing anybody can do for me.
- [Dr. Stein] Now Eddie don't
throw out the possibilities.
- Yes Eddie, Dr. Stein
just won the Nobel Prize
for solving the DNA genetic code.
- I don't know Doctor.
- Once again I can
offer you no promises,
other than my good
results in the laboratory.
I would like to very much work with you
and to help you.
But you must want to help yourself.
If you do, and you're
willing to undergo long hours
of operating procedure and treatment
I think you'll have quite a
surprise, quite a surprise.
(soul music)
[music] Nobody cares
[music] Nobody shares
[music] Life is that
way each and every day
[music] I wonder will this, will
this, will this always
[music] Always be?
[music] I can't find no one to love me
[music] Oh, oh lonely old me
[music] Oh lord I can not find
[music] No one to love me
(buzzing)
(machines beeping)
(electricity sparking)
(suspenseful music)
- [Winifred] Eddie, when Dr.
Stein completes his surgery
we can go on with our plans
just as if nothing ever happened.
- [Eddie] Do you think so Winifred?
- [Winifred] Oh yes Eddie.
- [Eddie] I hope so.
- It will, it'll work
out just fine you'll see.
I do love you so.
(suspenseful music)
This is going to be your
first injection of DNA Eddie.
We're preparing your
body for the operation.
All set?
- Yes it is Doctor.
I prepared it in the lab.
(suspenseful music)
- Dr. Stein says our work
will be in three stages.
(suspenseful music)
We'll be taking you
down to the laboratory
to begin work tonight
but for now you just
relax and get some rest.
(suspenseful music)
(thunder cracking)
(suspenseful music)
(machines buzzing)
- Now Eddie we're going
to give you an injection
that will put you to sleep.
When you wake up the work
will be one third completed.
- Okay Doctor.
(machines beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder cracking)
- Eddie,
try not to worry, I'll
be right by your side.
- Alright Dr. Walker let's proceed.
Switch number one.
(electricity sparking)
(suspenseful music)
(electricity sparking)
Well I believe the
operation will be a success.
(dog barking)
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
(dog barking)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder cracking)
Eddie, what do you feel?
- It was my middle finger.
- That's correct.
Eddie tonight we begin the
final phase of your surgery.
- Dr. Stein, how long
do you think it'll be
before Eddie's completely whole again?
- If all goes well tonight,
why we can complete the entire process.
- That's good Doctor.
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
- Malcomb, you startled me.
- There's something I'd
like for you to know.
- Yes?
- Winifred ever since you came here
I thought of nothing but
you both day and night.
There isn't anything in this
world I wouldn't do for you.
I've fallen in love with you.
- Malcomb, you have been very kind to me
and I appreciate it and I do like you.
It would be hard not to,
but you must realize I love Eddie
and as soon as he's well
we're going to be married.
I hope you understand this
doesn't effect our friendship.
- Alright Winifred.
(suspenseful music)
- Malcomb.
(suspenseful music)
- Primeval theory, primeval theory,
primeval theory, primeval theory.
Throwback, throwback,
throwback, throwback.
Jungle, jungle, jungle, jungle.
Prehistoric, prehistoric, prehistoric.
(suspenseful music)
(machines beeping)
Right there Malcomb.
(suspenseful music)
Well I believe we're ready
for the final stages of our operation.
- Fine Doctor, I'm ready.
- Switch one.
(electricity sparking)
(thunder booming)
(electricity sparking)
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
Oh the fusion looks excellent Winifred.
- Great Doctor.
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
- This is Eddie's DNA formula,
prepare two injections please.
(machines beeping)
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
Well Winifred Eddie should
be up and around today.
- Dr. Stein, I know he's been
up and about with the walker
but are you saying
that he's going to be
walking unassisted today?
- Yes Winifred, from this
point on with hard work
he should soon walk like any normal man.
(suspenseful music)
Eleanor you haven't
been listening to me.
I knew this would happen,
you've been up and about too much.
Now I want you to stay in bed
and stay in bed until I
tell you you can get up
do you understand?
- I know I've been overdoing it,
but I've been looking at the sunsets
and the beautiful evenings.
Oh please I want to be free, I
want to be with people again.
- It will happen all in due time,
but you must conserve your
energy and stay quiet.
Winifred look at this.
See she's backsliding.
- There is quite a
noticeable difference.
- Eleanor I'll be back to see you later.
You stay in bed now.
(suspenseful music)
- Eddie.
- Yes?
- Dr. Stein and I are here.
How are you feeling tonight?
- I don't feel right.
I just don't feel right.
- Now Eddie you've been through a lot
and you've held up remarkably well.
I think we'll get you up
for a little exercise,
it'll make you feel 100% better.
All our tests show
that you have total use
of your faculties.
- [Eddie] I don't know Doctor.
- Dr. Stein, look at this.
(suspenseful music)
- Find Malcomb, prepare
the room next to the lab.
Tell him to get here with a
gurney, we have to work fast.
(suspenseful music)
- Good evening Dr...
(suspenseful music drowning out talking)
- The brain is dying, it looks
like complete cortical death.
- Dr. Stein the cell
matching tests seem alright.
So there couldn't have been any error
in our selection of the transplant part.
- All the blood tests seem alright.
No clotting or thickening.
Run all the blood tests again.
(thunder booming)
(bell ringing)
(distant talking)
(suspenseful music)
We have to get to him quickly.
He can develop superhuman strength.
(suspenseful music)
(shouting in a foreign language)
This is not too unusual Winifred,
it happens occasionally after the shot.
But the patient calms down.
Very soon he turns to normal.
That is outside of the
obvious RNA effects.
- I understand Doctor.
(distant thunder booming)
Eddie.
(suspenseful music)
(thunder booming)
- Eddie, how do you feel?
(suspenseful music)
We'll increase the
injections by 50 cc's.

He doesn't just bark for
nothing now go see about it.
- [Nelson] Oh that dogs

I think I'd like to go home.
- You have beautiful hair.
- Yeah I know I do.
- Aren't you proud of it?
- Yeah I'm proud of it,
now how about just taking me home?
- Do you like to have it touched?
- No I don't like to have it touched.
Now if you would just put
your hands on the wheel,
lay off, and I want to go home, now.
Alright that's it.
- Calm down.
- That's it.
- Calm down, calm down.
- Look don't call me

- [Winifred] No no.
(screaming)
No stop it Eddie.

(suspenseful music)
(doorbell ringing)
(suspenseful music)
- This way gentlemen.
(suspenseful music)
Excuse me Doctor,
but two men from the police
department are here to see you.
I'll show them in.
(suspenseful music)
- Dr. Stein?
- Yes.
- I'm Captain Tucker and
this is Lieutenant Jackson.
I hope you don't mind
answering a few questions.
- Not at all Captain.
- [Jackson] How many patients
do you have here Doctor?
- Just three at this time.
- And one of them you brought
in from the veteran's hospital
is that right?
- That's right a man
with no arms and no legs.
- [Tucker] And the other two?
- A man and a woman.
The man is confined to his
room under strict surveillance.
- And the woman?
- The woman is suffering
from a rare blood disease,
she's been here about six months.
- Well we're talking with everybody
in the neighborhood Doctor
hoping that we might
pick up a possible lead.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Good and we'll be
checking back with you.
- Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
(banging)
(distant soul music)
(wind howling)
- Let's hear applause.
(applauding)
Let me tell you what
happened to me the other day.
(heart throbbing)
(grunting)
(screaming)
And a girl walked in, a guy had a dog.
The guy told the bartender, he said,
"I want a shot scotch for me
and shot of scotch for my dog."
The guy said "man we don't
serve no dogs in this bar."
- The guy said, "man
this is no ordinary dog."
"This is a talking dog."
The guy said, "man we don't
serve no dogs in the bar."
He said, "tell him what you want,"
the dog said, "man I
want a shot of scotch."
(laughing)
The guys says, "I'll be darned,"
"his dog can't talk he
must be a ventriloquist."
He said, "okay I'm going
to the bathroom,"
"dog you tell him what you want."
The dog said, "man you gonna
give me a shot of that scotch?"
And he said, "I'll be darned,"
"if you really can talk
here's five dollars,"
"go down to the liquor store"
"and get me a pack of cigarettes."
Dog takes off down to the liquor store,
guy comes out the bathroom
says, "where's my dog?"
He said, "man I didn't
think the dog could talk"
"so I gave five dollars
to go to a liquor store."
He said, "man I paid
$10,000 for that dog"
"somebody might steal my dog."
(laughing)
So he's up and down the street.
Three hours looking for his
dog, he couldn't find it.
So he's sitting on a
garbage can in an alley,
he's tired and from
the back of the alley
he hears a strange sound.
The sound went something like this,
woo bow wow wow, ooh bow wow wow.
He jumps up and he runs
to the back of the alley
and there's his dog Rover.
Got a Cocker Spaniel jammed
between two garbage cans.
Rover's doing his thing.
Woo bow wow, woo bow
wow wow, oh bow bow.
He said, "Rover," Rover said, "what?"
He said, "what're you doing Rover?"
Rover said, "what does
it look like I'm doing?"
- He said, "shame on you Rover"
"I've never seen you do
anything like this before."
Rover said, "hey you
never sent me to the store"
"with five dollars before either."
(laughing)
Thank you, thank you very
much ladies and gentlemen.
At this time ladies and gentlemen
we like to bring the star of
our show back to the stage.
She's a fantastic lady so
let's put our hands together
and give a warm welcome
to the star of the show,
Ms. Cardella DeMilo
ladies and gentlemen.
Here she comes.
(applauding)

(heart throbbing)

(screaming)
(heart throbbing)
(suspenseful music)
(sirens blaring)
- I saw him officer.
He was about nine feet tall,
he looked like he was hurt.
Oh yeah, he went that way.
- The only thing down that way
is a cemetery and an abandoned factory.
- The only thing next
to that is a mansion,
Dr. Stein's mansion.
- Dr. Stein, let's check it out.
- Good idea.
Joe you better get the dogs.
(sirens blaring)
(grunting)
(suspenseful music)
Alright now just settle down
and tell me exactly what you saw.
- I told you once.
- Well give me a description
of what you saw then.
- I'll go over it just once more.
I just finished my gig,
I was out in the alley taking a smoke
like I normally do.
I heard this broad scream.
Then I took another puff,
when I looked up there
was a 15 feet shadow
in front of me
and you want me to explain that.
- Well what happened
after you saw the shadow?
- What happened?
Man I got the hell out of there.
(thunder booming)
(suspenseful music)
- Feeling alright now Bruno?
- Yes Doctor I feel alright.
- Ah that's good.
There we go.
- He's calmed down quite a bit.
- Yes.
(suspenseful music)
Alcohol Malcomb.
(thunder booming)
- Feeling better?
- Yes thank you.
- Alcohol Doctor.
- And the DNA.
