The Hideous Sun Demon (1958) - full transcript

Immediately after the launching

of US satellites,
number one and number three

into outer space,

newspaper headlines across
the country told the world

of a new radiation hazard
from the sun.

Far more deadly than cosmic rays.

An obscure scientist,
iconic Dr. Gilbert McKenna

had already already discovered
this danger from the sun.

This is his story.

They're bringing him in now.

The radiation patient?



Yes.

Oh, I don't know if I like that.

Guys, it's a bad one.

This guy's been soaked with radiation.

I better call Dr. Stern.

He's been out since we picked
him up.

Page Dr. Stern please
for admitting room.

Emergency.

Let's get back away, Bob.

Yeah.

Did you get his name?

Yeah, it's Dr. Gilbert McKenna.

Dr. Buckell,
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

It's alright Doctor,
you're a busy man.



Ms. Lansing, this is Dr. Stern.

How do you do, Doctor?

You work with McKenna too, Ms. Lansing?

Yes.

Yes, we're on our
Dockstar project together.

Ms. Lansing is Dr. McKenna's
laboratory assistant.

Is he going to be alright, Doctor?

I'm afraid that's too soon
to say definitely, Ms. Lansing.

He seems to be improving although..

Although what?

Ms. Lansing, I ask you
and Dr. Buckell to come here

because there are some very
puzzling facts

that's in this case.

What do you mean?

Before we go in to that,

I would like to know exactly
what happened that day.

Sit down, please.

We're doing some work on
newly developed

radioactive isotopes.

We use all the usual precautions.

Lead screens,
remote control handling device,

you what I mean.

All radioactive material
is kept in a lead vault.

When we want a particular isotope,

we have a little electric trailer.

I toy train.

Like you give to kids to Christmas

if we back it into the vault.

And we load on the isotope

by means of a remote
controlled arms

and run the train out of the
vault again.

I see.

But his morning, something happened.

Dr. McKenna had just ran the
train out of the vault and,

and, you were there are you?

Tell him.

Well, the train always stops

behind the large lead
screen before we unload it.

Gil, Dr. McKenna had
gone behind the screen

to take the container off the
train and,

well, it must've fallen to
the floor.

I was on the other side of
the room and I heard a noise

and he called out to me,
there've been an accident.

Well, when those things happen,

whenever under any
circumstances deviate

from regular procedure,

there's an alarm button in
the room

that alerts the whole building
into an emergency station.

Ms. Lansing sound the alarm
and then left the room.

That's also part of the procedure.

Were you expose to the radiation?

No, I was on the other
side of the screen.

The odd part is that
when the emergency crew

went in to investigate,

they found Dr. McKenna unconscious.

Now, generally speaking,
over-exposure to radiation

doesn't cause loss of consciousness.

How long was he exposed?

Oh, five or six minutes.

In takes the emergency crew
that long

to put on their radiation
suits before they went in.

He was exposed all this time?

Yes.

I just don't understand it.

What don't you understand?

Dr. Buckell, you've told me
that Dr. McKenna was exposed

to highly radioactive material
for five or six minutes.

Yet, after he recovered
after the initial shock,

he showed absolutely no
residual effects, whatever.

No burns,
no radiation effects, nothing.

That is unusual.

Then he's alright.

Well, we hope so.

I hope so but you said
he showed no reaction.

So far, he hasn't.

It seems inconceivable
had he could be exposed

for that length of time
without any effect.

Well, we can only wait and see.

Please excuse me.

And may I suggest you check
with me in a day or so.

I feel we should keep him
in general observation

for a few days.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Very kind.

Yes, thank you so much.

You let us know if any..

By all means.

I will be watching him very closely.

Goodbye.

Bye, Doctor.

What effect does he expect,
Dr. Buckell?

He doesn't know.

That nobody does.

It's a new isotope that never
existed in nature before.

What's its effect will
be is anybody's guess.

And if Gil would only listen when..

Yeah, I know what you're thinking.

But it's not Gil's fault.

That's alright,
like this morning in.

He just had a headache.

You mean a hangover.

The equipment must have been
in fault.

Gil's always careful
when he handles isotopes.

Careful?

How can anybody be
careful with a hangover.

He didn't have a hangover,
I was with him all morning.

He had a headache!

You see Gil as rose-colored lad.

I've known him since his
first year science major.

That I was the one who
recommended him to this project.

And I warned him for the last time.

Whiskey and soda mix,
not whiskey and science.

We better discuss this some
other time.

Alright, we discuss it
when Gil's done with this.

Come on, I'll take you home.

How are you feeling Dr. McKenna?

As well since just a moment ago,

I felt strong enough to
shake down the very walls

of this hospital but as
soon you entered the room,

your beauty so overwhelmed me

that I feel as weak as a
day-old kitten.

So you forgot this?

Oh, I asked you a serious question.

I like a serious answer.

Alright, I feel very well,
thank you.

But I am getting a little tired

of being treated like a specimen

under a microscope of
all the hospital staff

standing around waiting for me
to develop some new symptom.

You'll be able to be go
home in a couple of days.

Good.

Right now, we're going
to take you out for an air.

Oh, good.

Up to the solarium roof
where you get plenty of sun.

Well, let's go.

Oh, not so fast.

Would like in a wheelchair.

A wheelchair?

That's right, as doctor's ordered.

I'll be back in a minute.

I'll be back for you at about
45 minutes.

Alright.

Pardon me, Young Man.

Is that perchance a magazine
on the table

called sickness and health?

Uh, let's see.

I hope you won't think me rude

if I don't talk to you for a while.

I'm anxious to get at my article.

Here it is.

Young Man,
I hate to bother you again but...

Ah, your face!

Somebody!

No, it can't be!

Dr. McKenna?

What's wrong?

I thought...

I must know what happened to Gil.

Nothing of it makes any sense.

Ms. Lansing,
Dr. McKenna has fallen victim

to one of the strangest and
most baffling

medical phenomena I've ever seen,

or even heard of.

Let me try to explain what I mean.

These are basic classes of
beings in the animal kingdom.

From the little one cell
gamete up here in the corner

through the intermediate
classes and right down to man.

As you know, all life on earth

began with a one cell animals.

And biologist estimate that
it took several million years

to evolve a evolve a form as
complex as the mammals, as man.

But here's something very interesting.

During the nine-month period
of conception to birth,

the human being goes through

the same evolutionary process
in the womb.

In other words, it first
begins as a one-celled animal.

Then it becomes a collection
of cells.

It start to assume a definite form

as the cells begin to take
on specialized functions.

He next passes through a
state when he is similar

in structure to a fish.

And then from an amphibian,
to a reptile.

Finally it passes into the
mammal state

where he begins to take on
more and more

the appearance of a human being.

Now, we know that each individual

goes through this evolutionary
process before he's born.

And it's not inconceivable
that process could be reversed.

Reversed?

It's possible.

You mean a human being could
evolve backwards to time

and become some sort of
prehistoric creature?

That's fantastic.

So, Doctor, are the
isotopes you're developing

in your atomic laboratory is.

I wanna show you some
slides which may help you

to understand what's
happened to Dr. McKenna.

Well, Dr. Buckell, could you
get that blind for me, please.

Recently some biochemists conducted

a series of experiment on
insects to see what effects

certain forms of radiation
have on living cells.

I want to show you a red ant

which have been exposed to
intense amounts of X-ray.

This is a common housefly
after exposure to gamma rays.

This one used to be a grasshopper.

Well, I guess you get the idea.

Well, Dr. Buckell, could you
get that blind for me, please.

Not very good, I'm afraid.

The radiation from that
isotope caused the peculiar

and subtle change in the
cells of Dr. McKenna's body.

Just as other radiation
had done to the cells

in the bodies of those insect.

His whole appearance has
changed into something scaly,

almost lizard-like.

But Doctor, there was no
intervening like this at first.

No, a catalyst was needed
to complete the reaction.

The catalyst is sunlight.

Sunlight?

That's what happened
the other afternoon.

He was sitting in the sun
when gradually,

the cells in his body reacted
and you know the rest.

We were able to get him
over that first attack

simply by putting him in a
dark room.

Then he's alright now?

As long he stays out of the sun.

What about artificial light?

No trouble with that.

The radiation spectrum of tungsten

is quite different from that
of sunlight.

Doctor, how's he taking it?

Psychologically, I'm mean.

Not too well.

He's retreated entirely into himself.

It's difficult even to talk
to him.

He resigned from the project.

I gotta let him, probably.

He wanted to go off some
place by himself.

Is he able to leave?

I mean is he well enough physically?

Physically, yes.

Expect for this terrible
sensitivity to sunlight.

However, this goes beyond the physical.

Dr. Stern, you don't mean

that something's happened to
his mind.

A terrible thing has
happened to him Ms. Lansing.

Somehow, he must learn to
live with it.

To do that, he'll need help.

If he goes off by himself

where he'll have neither
friends nor a medical care,

well, there's no telling
what could happen.

Can't you keep him here?

Not against his will.

Clear her up, please.

No, thanks.

Alright.

Say, how come the dark
glasses at night?

I've been in the hospital.

That's too bad.

Hey, where can I get some cigarettes.

I just got the answer from Dr. Hoffman.

He's agreed to come?

Yes and if anybody can help Gil,
it's Dr. Jacob Hoffman.

Do you think he can?

He's the best man in the
country in radiation poisoning.

When will he be here?

Day after tomorrow.

Have you heard from Gil?

No, our telephone's disconnected.

We'll let's dive out and see him.

Do you think I should?

I think you're going to.

Anyway, good news like this

should be delivered personally.

You're right.

I'll drive out in the morning
too see him.

Darwin never even

How could he?

Evolution backwards to
the age of the reptile.

Half-human, half-lizard.

And I'm the guinea pig

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, come on!

Must be getting late.

It's never late till the sun
comes up.

What's the matter?

Well.

Why don't we go for a drive?

Where are we going?

Oh, I'll take run down
the beach or some place.

The beach?

At this time of the day?

Why not?

Why not what?

George.

I said I'd let you know about tonight.

You tell me about it now, Trudy.

George, this is Gil.

Yeah.

Well, are you ready?

Well, I haven't finished
my drink just yet.

Okay, finish it.

Hey, while as you are killing time,

why don't you sit down?

No, thanks.

If you don't mind,
she's going with me.

We'll isn't that I mind,

it just that I'm not sure
she wants to go with you.

Oh, yeah?

How about it, Trudy?

George, I'm not ready to
leave just yet.

Why don't you sit down?

Hey, hey that's good enough,
isn't it?

Not enough, Mister.

I had a date to take Trudy home.

And that's exactly what I'm
gonna do.

Not if she doesn't
wanna go, you're not.

Come on, Trudy.

I said enough to her.

I don't care what you said.

Stop it!

Gil!

Gil!

Gil.

Please stop, Gil!

Gil, Gil, please stop.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Come on.

Hey, I not through with you, hey!

So fun.

Boy, that was quite a drive.

Yeah, I like to drive fast.

Kinda takes your mind
off unpleasant things.

It's good as an excuse as any,
I guess.

Want another drink.

Don tell me you got a
bottle of vodka in here.

Better than that.

Here.

Oh, the comforts of home.

Yup, if they ever so humble.

Like you, see.

I thought we were going off
the cliff.

Here.

No, no.

Lots of room.

Besides, this will steady
your nerves.

Thanks.

Here's to good health.

May you always have it.

You're a strange guy.

I am?

Yeah.

I can't figure out just why.

You know it's funny.

Out of nowhere, you walked
to a bar, bought me a drink,

got into a fight,
now that we're here.

Yeah, where are we?

You know where I am.

Sitting out here in a car by
the beach

with a man I only met an hour ago.

I think that's how to put it.

You're sorry you came?

No.

I like you.

You think I've come out
here with you frightened?

No, I guess not.

We'll take a walk.

Walk?

Yeah, down by the water.

It's a beautiful night.

Alright.

Well, I'll race you in the water.

Wait I can't rid of these for you.

Okay.

How you doing?

I'll be out in a minute.

That blanket gonna work out alright?

Well, you don't look too bad
at all.

It's a perfect fit.

Oh, with this whole banket.

What the matter?

Are you kidding?

I've got practically
nothing on under this.

It's treacherous.

Take it off.

Oh sure.

I can see you going to
force me to be gentleman

and offer you my coat.

But, first you better have
some of this.

Don't you think we've had enough.

We've already fallen to
the water once together.

Sorry about what happened.

Forget it.

I think it's kind of fun.

That is if I don't get to
hold you.

Don't worry, that thing can cure.

Common cold itself is a
medical condition.

That among other things.

Of course I could take you home.

Don't be silly,
I can't go home like this.

We'll have to stay here
until my clothes dry out.

You're so right.

I could use that coat now.

Alright, trade you.

Coat for the blanket.

Come on now.

Put it around my shoulders.

Alright.

Gil?

Gil!

Gil?

Gil?

Oh, Gil.

You shouldn't have come in.

I had to.

What are you doing down here?

None, as a matter of fact.

I've got some better news for
you, Gil.

You remember Dr. Jacob Hoffman?

Hoffman?

Yes, you remember him.

He and your father went
to school together.

Dr. Buckell knows him too.

So what?

Well, Dr. Hoffman has been studying

radiation poisoning for a
long time.

He's been able to cure a lot
of people.

After you left,
Dr. Buckell wrote him about you.

We got a little from him
and he's coming to help you.

Don't you realize what this means?

He maybe able to cure you.

It's no use, Anne.

Gil!

I'm beyond helping.

This this I've got is different.

For days, I've reading I can find.

My case is different, it's
not an any other poisoning!

Get me alone here!

You can't stay locked up here
for the rest of your life.

What else can I do?

Dr. Hoffman has offered to
come here and examine you.

You won't even have to leave
the house.

He'll be here this afternoon.

I'll be driving up to see him,
please Gil.

Won't do any good.

Please Gil.

You can't just give up.

You got to at least see him.

He's come all this distance.

Well, leave him.

Please, just let me alone.

Let me alone, please.

Don't you wanna get well
and live normally again?

I still now how it's
been wondering about you,

worrying and hoping.

Please, Gil.

If you don't care about yourself,

please consider the people
that do.

Anne.

Anne.

I see.

Oh, Gil.

Thank you.

You're not going to
find out anything that way

Dr. Hoffman, my heart's alright.

Now Gil, you must know.

Stop this playing games,
aren't we?

You're like this you know.

You like to show off.

It's all very well if
you had to joke about it.

It's not very funny to me.

I thought you're going to
help me.

I hope to Gil.

I wanna know here Gil

is things are not as
bad as you have feared.

We analyzed the isotope
we're working on, Gil.

Dr. Hoffman thinks he
maybe able to cure you.

Yeah, I think there's
definite hope.

Do you really mean it?

Boy, I wouldn't just leave
you both in a thing like that.

I can't tell you how
much it would mean for me

to get well, Dr. Hoffman.

For weeks, I've been
locked up in this mausoleum

unable to go out anytime
except at night.

Afraid of the sun and it
makes horrible attacks.

I'll do anything,
anything to get well.

Anything?

Yes, yes, anything.

Alright then.

After few days of preliminary
observation here at the house,

we shall take you to my
hospital in Bejis.

But how?

I can go out in the sun,
not even of a little while.

Oh, we'll make arrangements.

But, we invite you not
to leave this house.

Not under any circumstances.

Not even at night?

Not even a the night.

After what happened last evening,

there's too much risk.

No doubt you are aware

that the transformation came
this time

after much shorter exposure
to the sun for the first time.

Yes, I know.

Now this is of course,

the skin gets more
sensitive as time goes on.

If there should be a next time,

you might find that it only takes

only a very brief exposure
to the sun to change you.

You might also find that
it takes much longer

to change you back.

So no more wandering at night,
my boy.

And no more drinking.

We'll get to the hospital
as soon as possible.

Not even much of a goodbye,
just in his car and drove off.

I've been out with some
odd ones in my time

but he sure takes the cake.

He didn't bother to wake me up.

How'd you finally back to town?

I hitchhiked.

And let me tell me you
that was no fun either.

I must've been standing there
for nearly half an hour,

watching car, every car go by.

Most of them didn't even
bother looking.

I could've been standing
there with my clothes off

and he wouldn't even slow down.

Finally I managed to break
down an old guy in a truck.

See what got in his mind.

But after night I'm churred.

I would stick with guys I know.

Double bourbon, please.

Remembered me, Honey?

Believe me, Trudy, I.

Come on and see you outside.

Come on, man.

Wait a minute, hey!

Cut it out!

Alright, hey!

Stop!

That's enough!

You don't have to kill him.

Look at his face.

Oh, give me a hand.

Where are you taking him?

I'll take him to a hospital.

That's what I'm going to do.

A hospital?

I can't leave him here.

Guys, he done his job and
we can't send him home.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Come on, help me!

Okay, just hold on.

You.

Yes.

Where am I?

My place.

It's your place?

Don't worry, they're not here.

We're alone.

Here drink some of this.

Thanks.

How are you feeling.

Oh, brother.

No don't!

Pull off the curtain.

You let the sunlight out.

So what?

Oh, it's just sunlight,
it's bad for my eyes.

Sorry.

Yeah, as a matter of fact,

I've been going to Doctor
for some treatment.

Then make yourself at home.

Relax.

Thanks.

I'll go home right after dark.

It's just, well, you know,

the doctor advised to stay
out of the sun.

Who's complaining?

You can stay longer if you want.

Thanks.

It's alright, it's probably Lucy.

She's always trying to borrow something.

Better take it easy.

You don't look so hot.

I don't feel so hot.

Hello Trudy.

Just thought I'd drop
around to see how you were,

after the little excitement
last night.

See you were gonna take
him a hospital, huh.

He's been here all night.

And what if he has?

That's my business.

And mine!

Why you know you shouldn't.

We should have finished
you off last night.

Alright, Mister, step outside.

George, Honey, I what you're thinking

but nothing happened here
last night.

I just decided to bring him
home instead of the hospital.

Nothing wrong with that.

No, of course not, Trudy.

Nothing wrong with that and
a lot of other things you do.

Look, I can explain..

Shut up.

He can't go out in the
daylight, George.

His eyes..

Knock it off.

You're making a big mistake here.

Okay, let's go.

Not that way.

Out the back.

I'll talk to you later.

Hey, wait a minute.

Let's go.

Can't we talk this over?

Move!

Alright.

I wonder if we should call
the police.

He's been out for so long.

No, we must wait.

It's all we can do.

That must be Gil.

No!

I couldn't help myself, Dr. Buckell.

It wasn't your fault, Gil.

He forced you out with the girl.

Nevertheless, I committed a murder.

I murdered somebody!

Doctor's right.

What time is it?

Dr. Gil, we can prove it's self defense.

You don't seem to understand.

No matter what we prove,
it does none of the fact

that I wanted to kill him.

I've devoted my life for science.

Do you see what's happened?

What good is it done me?

What chance have I got to fight?

Why should I be the one?

Can you answer me that?

Why me?

Why should I be the one
picked up with it?

Please tell me why!

Doctor, I swear,
it shouldn't have been me.

Gil.
Gil, it's alright.

Did you hear what happened?

Paranoia.

It's alright.

We will do for you anything.

I'm not a psychiatrist but.

But after these circumstances.

Dr. Gil is a scientist.

Yeah, good scientist
even more than a genius.

But there is a very fine line there

and any little thing can push
him over.

I'll go, Anne.

No, I can try better.

Don't worry,
we'll take care of it.

Who is it?

I'm a police officer, open up.

What do you want?

I'm looking for Dr. McKenna.

Gil?

Yes?

Anne, please.

Don't make it any more harder
for me.

No, please don't go.

There's nothing anybody can do.

Have you a warrant of his arrest?

Gil?

Gil!

Well, I hope you're both satisfied.

He made a nice clean break.

Yeah.

It's not what I would have
wished him.

And he ran over one of
my men in the process.

Jacobs, call the state police
give 'em a full description.

Right.
And get an ambulance up here

right away.

He's a dangerous man.

He's only dangerous
because he is a sick man.

Yeah, they all are.

Oh, you don't understand.

I understand he ran over one
my men.

Well, I got to get back to headquarters.

Ah, Detective,
you mind if go with you?

It's alright.

I'll get my medical case.

You want to come?

Nope, I got to try it for
lone chance.

See if I can find him before
they do.

Let me go with you.

No, I think you better come
with me.

They have to bring him in by force.

We might need all the
help that we can give.

He's right.

I don't stand much of a chance

against the entire police force.

Lieutenant Peterson's office.

Had an accident?

Where?

Did they get him?

Mmhm, right.

Well, did anyone see him?

Okay.

Thank you.

Hey, Lieutenant,
Dr. McKenna had an accident.

What?

Yeah, he ran into
a truck in an intersection.

Did they get him?

No.
No?

But you know how it is.

A lot of people milling around.

They didn't even know who's
car was it

until they check the registration.

But didn't they try to stop him?

He wasn't there.

Somebody said they saw him
running away from the accident.

I guess he wasn't even hurt.

Well, get all the extra men
and you need

to start setting up
road blocks around this city.

He won't get far.

Yeah.

Mmhmm.

Good.

Well, you let me if anything
more happens.

That was another report on
your friend.

Well, let's see.

He was first reported
buying gas just above here.

Then somebody saw him right here.

That last report places
him just above you.

I don't know what is
holding those guys up.

We should've a report by now.

Perhaps he managed to
slip through your net.

Not a chance.

Besides, he wouldn't caught daylight.

And what you told me, daylight's

what causes his spells of it.

Yeah, it's true.

Well, it's only a matter of time.

The whole city has been alerted.

Extra, extra!

Read all about it!

Extra, extra!

Read all about it!

Weird killer still at large.

Thanks, Son.

Extra, extra!

Read all about it!
Boy, I'll take one too.

Extra, extra!

Read all about it!

Another night of fear and apprehension

for all of us unless the
search can reveal the monster.

Hello, Mommy.

Hi, Darling.

Here, give me a kiss.

How was school today?

Terrible.

I like to do a garden there.

They made us for a few friendship.

Mommy, can I have a glass of milk?

Well, of course Darling.

I'll get a glass.

Let me pour it for you, Honey.

I wanna pour it myself.

Okay.

We interrupt this broadcast

for an urgent police bulletin.

The latest news.

The mad killer shows that
the entire police force

has been alerted and mobilized
into searching parties.

Every effort is being made
to discover his hiding place.

Since late last night,
special squad had been on duty

patrolling the streets
extra men has been alerted

Here you're through?
for the entire

Los Angeles area.
Yes, I'm going out, Mommy.

We ask your cooperation.

Oh Darling,
you better stay inside today.

Mom, I wanna play outside.

It's nice and sunny.

Now, believed to be homicidal.

Look, you get the drill like
last time.

Hello.

Oh hello, Grace

Oh no, I was just getting supper.

Suzy!

And above all, keep calm.

And we return you once
again to the King Sisters.

Hey, just between us,
what's the latest on this?

Well all we is he's
somewhere in the city.

And he's really dangerous, huh?

Homicidal?

He's killed twice.

He'll do it again.

Well, we'll help all we can

but boy, you got a
tough one on your hands.

It's a big city but
we do know one thing.

He's in a dark hole
somewhere out of the sun.

And as far a we could figure,
he must be hiding

somewhere in the
Central Los Angeles area.

No, I thought that we blocked
all the roads last night.

He isn't likely to move
about the daylight.

But keep checking with us.

That's right, goodbye.

Well, that charge what
you told me, doesn't it?

Yeah, he would have to stay
inside during daylight hours.

I can't bear to think
of him out there alone.

Hiding, so frightened.

He's frightened?

Everybody in town's frightened.

They've locked themselves in
their houses.

You know, TV and radio is
making a big deal out of this.

Warning parents not to let
the children go out alone

till it's apprehended.

Just how dangerous is he, Doctor?

But you shouldn't be out
here if you're sick, Mister.

You should go to a doctor.

No, I..

A doctor would would make you well

and he wouldn't hurt you much.

One time I went to a doctor,
he stabbed me with a needle.

It didn't hurt much.

I can't go to a doctor.

I can't leave here.

Why not?

Because the sun's bad for me.

Oh no, the sun is good for you.

One time I had a cold,

and Mommy made me sit in the
sun all day

and it made me well.

And you should eat a lot too.

That's what Mommy says.

Aren't you hungry?

Hungry?

Would you like me to
bring you some cookies?

I love cookies.

Mommy always keeps me in the kitchen.

I know where they are.

Would you like me to bring
you some?

You do that for me?

Yes.

Then, you wanna help me?

Yes.

Then you mustn't tell
anybody that I'm here.

Not even Mommy?

Not even Mommy.

We've got to keep it a secret.

Okay, I won't tell anybody.

Hello, Mommy.

Hi Dear,
you shouldn't have gone out

when I told you not to.

What are you up to now?

I just want some cookies.

Well now Suzy,
you know it's almost supper time.

But I'm not gonna eat them now.

Well, then leave them alone.

You can have them for dessert.

Suzy, what's gotten in to you today?

You're not usually this bad.

I want some cookies.

You can have them for dessert.

I told you that.

But I want some now.

But you can't have them now.

It's too close to supper.

I want cookies.

Oh Darling, come here.

What's the matter?

They're for my friend.

What friend?

My new friend.

Your new friend?

Who is this new friend of yours?

It's a secret, I can't tell.

Oh Suzy, you don't expect
me to believe that, do you?

It's true, it's true.

He's traveling all alone
and he's sick and hungry.

And I promised to bring
to him some cookies.

Out where?

I can't tell, it's a secret.

Suzy, you must tell me.

No, I can't.

Suzy, listen to me carefully.

Who is this new friend of yours?

Is he a man?

A big grown up man like your daddy?

Suzy, where is he?

Where is he hiding?

Suzy, you've got to tell me,
where is he hiding?

He's in the.

He's where?

Where is he?

The shack.

The shack!

No Mommy, no!

Listen carefully.

Hello Operator.
No Mommy, no.

Can you please hurry.

Hello, Police.

I think I know where that man
is hiding.

Suzy!

Excuse me, Lieutenant.

We just got a call from a woman
out there in the oil field.

I think this could be the
break we've been waiting for.

You mean she knows where he is?

She thinks so.

He maybe hiding in a shack
out there in their house.

I've already alerted
the squad in that area.

Good, let's out there.

Suzy, Suzy!

Where are you, Darling?

Suzy!

Where are you?

Suzy!

Suzy?

Suzy!

Where have you gone?

Suzy!

My baby's in there.

My god!

Please, hurry.

Don't worry Ma'am.

We're doing everything we can.

Don't cry, Anne.

Perhaps you should cry.

The rest of us can only hope
that his life is not wasted.
