Blue Velvet (1986) - full transcript
College student Jeffrey Beaumont returns to his idyllic hometown of Lumberton to manage his father's hardware store while his father is hospitalized. Walking though a grassy meadow near the family home, Jeffrey finds a severed human ear. After an initial investigation, lead police Detective John Williams advises Jeffrey not to speak to anyone about the case as they investigate further. Detective Williams also tells Jeffrey that he cannot divulge any information about what the police know. Detective Williams' high school aged daughter, Sandy Williams, tells Jeffrey what she knows about the case from overhearing her father's private conversations on the matter: that it has to do with a nightclub singer named Dorothy Vallens, who lives in an older apartment building near the Beaumont home. His curiosity getting the better of him, Jeffrey, with Sandy's help, decides to find out more about the woman at the center of the case by breaking into Dorothy's apartment while he knows she's at work. What Jeffrey finds is a world unfamiliar to him, one that he doesn't truly understand but one that he is unable to deny the lure of despite the inherent dangers of being associated with a possible murder. Still, he is torn between this world and the prospect of a relationship with Sandy, the two who are falling for each other, despite Sandy already being in a relationship with Mike, the school's star football player.

It's a sunny, woodsy day in Lumberton,
so get those chainsaws out.
This is the mighty W-O-O-D,
the musical voice of Lumberton.
At the sound of the falling tree...
...it's 9:30!
There's a whole lotta wood
waitin' out there, so let's get goin'.
Mr. Beaumont?
Your son Jeffrey's here to see you.
Hey, Dad.
Do you have a Detective Williams
still working here?
Yes, he's up in room 221.
Right up the stairs,
through that door.
Thanks.
Detective Williams?
Yes?
My name is Jeffrey Beaumont. I live near
you. I believe you know my father Tom?
- Beaumont's Hardware Store?
- Sure I do.
I hear he's in the hospital.
- How's he doing?
- Well, he's OK, I guess. I hope.
They're doing tests.
That's why I'm home from school.
I was at the hospital this morning
and, coming home through
the field behind Vista,
I, uh... found an ear.
You did? A human ear?
Yeah. I thought
I should bring it to you.
Yeah, that's right.
Let's take a look at it.
Yes, that's a human ear, all right.
Let's see what the coroner makes of it.
Then I want you to show me
exactly where you found it.
All right.
We'll check the morgue records, but I
don't recall anything minus an ear.
The person may very well
still be alive somewhere.
What can you tell about the person
from the ear?
Once the tests are done, quite a lot.
Sex, blood type,
whether the ear came off a dead person.
Also, it looks like
the ear was cut off with scissors.
- I'm goin' out for a while.
- Do you want the car?
- No, I'm just gonna walk around.
- All right.
You're not going down by Lincoln,
are you?
No, just around the neighborhood.
Don't worry.
OK, honey.
Hello. My name is Jeffrey Beaumont.
Is Detective Williams here?
- Oh, yes. Yes, Jeffrey, come on in.
- Thanks.
Well, Jeffrey, you found
something very interesting.
Very interesting. I know you must
be curious to know more.
But I have to ask you not only
not to tell anybody about your find,
but also not to ask more about the case.
One day when it's all sewed up,
I'll let you know all the details.
Right now, though, I can't.
I understand.
I'm just real curious, like you said.
I was the same way myself
when I was your age.
- That's what got me into this business.
- Must be great.
It's horrible, too.
I'm sorry, Jeffrey.
That's the way it has to be.
Anyway, I know you do understand.
Sure.
- Thanks for the card for Dad.
- You're welcome. Nice to meet you.
You, too.
- Say hello to Sandy for me.
- We will.
- Good night, Jeffrey.
- Good night.
Are you the one
that found the ear?
How did you know?
I just know, that's all.
- I remember you from Central.
- Are you a senior?
Yup.
- How is Central these days?
- Terrible.
- I don't know... boring.
- What else is new!
So what are you doin' now?
I'm home from school.
My father's in the hospital.
- That's too bad.
- Yeah.
What do you know about the ear?
- Didn't Dad say not to talk about it?
- Yeah, but you brought it up.
You know anything?
I don't know much but bits
and pieces. I hear things.
Yeah?
My room is above
my father's office so...
Above your father's office?
- So I heard a few things about the ear.
- Uh-huh. And?
Well... there are a couple of cases
I get mixed up on.
But one name that keeps coming up
is this woman singer.
She lives in an apartment
real close to your house.
Close to the field
where you found the ear.
It's a strange world,
isn't it?
- Yeah.
- Where is this apartment?
It's really close by.
That's what's so creepy.
They had her under surveillance,
'cept I don't know what they found out
'cause she's not my dad's case. So...
I guess you gotta get
back home pretty soon, huh?
Not really. Why?
Well, uh...
- You... wanna see the building.
- Yeah.
- Come on, I'll show you.
- OK.
Hey, baby! Hey, babe!
That's her building right there.
She lives on the seventh floor.
Come on.
So, uh... what are you gonna do
now that you're home?
Help out at my father's hardware store.
They're giving me my own hours,
which is nice.
I used to know a kid that lived there.
Had the biggest tongue in the world.
What happened to him?
I don't know. He moved away.
All my old friends are gone.
- You know the chicken walk?
- What's that?
That's kind of interesting.
- Coffee time.
- Yo!
Hey, Double Ed, where are the overalls?
They're on the bottom shelf, rolled up,
where they've always been.
Hey, Ed, how many fingers?
Four.
I still don't know how you do that.
Now listen. You sure you don't
need me or this rig for a while?
If you wanna spray for bugs,
Jeffrey, it causes us no pain.
Okey-dokey, Double Ed.
- Oh, it's so good to have you back.
- Yeah, sure.
You hungry or thirsty, or both?
I don't know.
I'd like to talk to you about somethin'.
Wait just a minute.
Listen. Don't you guys
dare say anything to Mike.
- Sure.
- It's not what you think, OK?
- Promise?
- Whatever you say.
- I don't wanna cause trouble.
- I'm here, aren't I?
- He is nice-lookin'.
- Yeah.
You ever been to Arlene's?
Of course.
Now are you gonna tell me
why we're here?
There are opportunities in life
for gaining knowledge and experience.
Sometimes it's necessary to take a risk.
I'll bet someone could learn a lot
by getting into that woman's apartment.
You know, sneak in, hide, and observe.
- Sneak into her apartment?
- Yeah.
Are you crazy?
Jeffrey, she's possibly involved in
murder. This is givin' me the creeps.
Now just settle down.
I have a plan which I think will work.
There's very little for you to do,
but I do need your help.
Don't you even wanna hear the plan?
Tell me any plan you want, but it's not
going any further than this diner.
Sandy,
don't take that attitude.
All right. The first thing I need
is to get into her apartment
- and open a window to crawl into later.
- How are you gonna do that?
Right out in the car
I happen to have some old overalls
and a bug-spraying rig.
I will go to her apartment
as a pest-control man.
I will spray her apartment.
You knock on the door, draw her
attention away from me,
and I'll jimmy a window.
- And what do I say to her at the door?
- You will be a Jehovah's Witness.
I have some Awake! magazines for you.
I don't need very much time,
just a few seconds. Whaddaya think?
I don't know.
I mean, it sounds like a good daydream,
but... actually doing it's too weird.
- It's too dangerous.
- Sandy, let's just try the first part.
No one will suspect us.
No one would think two people like us
would be crazy enough to do this.
You have a point there.
Give me at least three minutes.
I can stall if it's more, but I need
time to find a good window. All right?
All right.
Let's go.
Here I go.
Wait a minute. What's her name?
Oh, brother, Jeffrey.
Dorothy Vallens, seventh floor.
Look on her mailbox
for the number, bright boy.
Thanks.
Dorothy Vallens, seventh floor.
OK. Good luck.
Good luck yourself.
Three minutes. No sooner.
Yes? What is it?
Pest control. I gotta do your apartment.
- That stuff stinks.
- This is new stuff. There's no smell.
Good.
Just need to do the kitchen.
Grand Central Station!
It's only the bug man.
- That should do it.
- Yeah?
- Are you all right?
- Yeah. What happened?
I was about to go to the door
when that guy did it for me.
- Was it all right?
- Yes and no. Did you recognize him?
I only saw his back. I think he went out
a door at the end of the hall.
I didn't get a good look at him either,
but he sure looked at me.
I didn't have time to get a window,
but I found these keys. Nifty, huh?
Yeah, if they open the door.
Yeah.
So, what's next?
- Are you game for more?
- I owe you one
since I goofed this one up.
You didn't goof it up.
But... you still owe me one.
I'm gonna try and sneak in tonight.
It's Friday. Do you have a date?
Yeah. I do.
Well, that does that.
- You really wanna do this, don't you?
- I don't want you to get involved.
I do, but if something went wrong...
Like you said,
they may be involved in murder.
OK. I'll tell Mike I'm sick.
Just so the record
is kept straight, though,
I love Mike.
What do you want me to do?
First we'll have a really nice dinner.
Try to find out
where Dorothy Vallens sings.
I already know.
The Slow Club on Route 7.
Great. I'll pick you up about eight?
Don't pick me up.
My dad might think it's strange.
I'll walk over to your house.
I'll be there at eight o'clock. OK?
You better get out
before someone sees us.
See ya!
Wait. Here's to an interesting
experience, huh?
I'll drink to that!
Man, I like Heineken!
You like Heineken?
- I never really had Heineken before.
- You never had Heineken before?
My dad drinks Bud.
- King of beers.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
the Blue Lady,
Miss Dorothy Vallens.

- Jeffrey, you shouldn't do this.
- Why not?
'Cause it's crazy... and dangerous.
- My God, I should have never told you.
- I'll be all right.
I don't think you should stay.
I think you should go home.
Can you drive this car?
- Yeah, but I...
- Leave it in front of your house, OK?
OK.
I'll see ya tomorrow
and I'll tell ya how it went.
I don't wanna see you tomorrow.

OK, yeah, call.
I hope you sneak out OK.
- I'm gonna wait here until she comes.
- Sandy...
I'm gonna honk four times.
I'll go one, two, three, four,
and then you'll hear it
- and you'll know she's on her way up.

No way! I want to see you!

Oh. I guess I'll talk to you later,
then.
- Well, how'd it go?
- It went OK. I'll tell you about it.
I'll pick you up at eight.
New axe, 48721.
Twenty-two...
...ninety-five.
- I'll see ya then.
- OK, great.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
Well?
Aren't you gonna tell me about it?
OK.
It's a strange world, Sandy.
Dorothy Vallens is married,
to a man named Don.
They have a son.
I think the son and the husband have
been kidnapped by a man named Frank.
Frank has done this
to force Dorothy to do things for him.
I think she wants to die.
I think Frank cut the ear I found
off her husband
as a warning for her to stay alive.
Frank is, uh...
...a very dangerous man.
My God.
- Shouldn't you tell my father?
- No. I can't do that.
I can't prove any of this.
I found out my information illegally.
You could get into a lot of trouble.
You saw all that in one night?
It is a strange world.
Why are there people like Frank?
Why is there
so much trouble in this world?
I don't know.
I had a dream.
In fact, it was the night I met you.
In the dream, there was our world,
and the world was dark
because there weren't any robins.
And the robins represented love.
And for the longest time
there was just this darkness.
And all of a sudden
thousands of robins were set free.
And they flew down and
brought this blinding light of love.
And it seemed like that love
would be the only thing
that would make any difference,
and it did.
So I guess it means...
...there is trouble
till the robins come.
You're a neat girl.
So are you.
I mean... you're a neat guy.
I guess we better go.
Yeah. I guess so.
Hi. May I come in?
Yes.
Hurry, though.
Are you all right?
No, I'm not.
Why are you here?
- What do you want?
- I, um...
I looked for you in my closet tonight.
It's crazy, I know.
I don't know where you come from, but...
...I like you.
It's not crazy. I like you too.
I liked being with you last night.
Same here.
Please be with me.
Be with me, please.

Logs, logs, logs. Lumberton, USA.
At the sound of the falling tree...
..it's 1:30.
This is the mighty voice of Lumberton,
the town where people really know
how much wood a woodchuck chucks.
..seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20...
- Keep going.
- Sandy.
...23, 24, 25.
Oh, great.
- You're late.
- I'm sorry.
- What am I gonna do now?
- You wanna go talk to him?
Yeah, but...
I don't think it's gonna do much good.
Let's just go.
I'll try to talk to him later.
See that clock on the wall?
Yeah.
Five minutes from now, you're not
gonna believe what I've told you.
Number one.
Today I staked out Frank's place
with a camera.
There's another man involved in all
this. I call him the Yellow Man.
You saw his back the other day
at Dorothy's apartment.
Today I saw the Yellow Man go into
Frank's building, laughing with Frank.
Now, the only trouble is,
what does that prove?
Nothing, really. But it's interesting.
Number two.
I saw the Yellow Man come out
and meet a well-dressed man
carrying an alligator briefcase.
They went to a factory, stood on a
staircase and looked into the distance.
Now get this. In the distance,
there was a murder.
A drug dealer was shot to death
and a woman had her legs broken.
Jeffrey...
Then two guys told me the police would
find drugs in the dead dealer's place.
I can't believe what you're finding out.
Are you gonna continue with this?
Yeah.
Until when?
What are you gonna do with this?
Well, I don't know.
You're not going back to her apartment?
Yeah.
Jeffrey, why?
I'm seeing something
that was always hidden.
I'm involved in a mystery.
I'm in the middle of a mystery.
And it's all secret.
You like mysteries that much?
Yeah.
You're a mystery.
I like you...
...very much.
Yeah?
Jeffrey, don't. Please.
You worry about me? Really?
Yeah.
Is that so surprising?
Yeah, I worry... a lot.
I got you into this.

Come to my bedroom.
What do you want to do?
I'm doing it.
Are you a bad boy?
What do you mean?
Do you wanna do bad things?
Anything.
Anything.
What do you want?
I want you to hurt me.
No. I don't wanna hurt you.
I told you, I wanna help you.
Dorothy, I know
some of what’s happening.
Frank has your husband and son,
doesn't he?
Dorothy, you gotta do something,
go to the police or...
No police!
No police!
Don!
- Hit me!
- No! No!
Get away! Get away from my bed!
Stay away!
I have your disease in me now.
It used to make me laugh.
I'm sorry, Dorothy.
- I should go.
- Yes.
You think I'm crazy, don't you?
I want you to stay.
- Don't hate me.
- I sure don't hate you.
I'm not crazy.
I know the difference
between right and wrong.
That's good.
You're my special friend.
I still have you inside of me.
It helps me.
I need you.

Hit me.
No, Donny, Mama loves you!
What do you mean,
you're lucky to be able to call me?
Things got out of hand.
I know some things. They could help your
father, but you might get into trouble.
Look, forget me. You've got to tell him.
OK. I promise I won't mention you.
Jeffrey, I mean it. It doesn't matter.
Good. I'll see you Friday,
if not before.
OK.
- Bye-bye, Sandy.
- Bye.
- I don't wanna talk about it.
- But...
Everything is OK now.
I just don't wanna talk about it.
Sometimes it's good to talk things over.
For instance, they say many marriages...
Aunt Barbara...
I love you but you're gonna get it.

Gordon went right up to 'em in broad

He took those drugs away
and it was beautiful.
I got it.
- Jeffrey. Come on in.
- Jeffrey.
- Hi, Sandy.
- Hi, Jeffrey.
Sorry to bother you,
but I need to talk.
OK. Looks like you had a bad face-lift.
- Yeah.
- Come on into my study.
I have to show you some photos
and tell you some things about them.
This is the first picture.
It's Frank Booth.
He is a very sick and dangerous man.
His address is on the back of the photo.
This photo is of Frank and another man
as they went into Frank's building.
And then that man came out and met
with a third man. This well-dressed guy.
Here's that photo.
I think a woman named Dorothy Vallens
is in trouble with these people.
I think Frank kidnapped her husband
and son. I have no hard proof of this.
- Is Sandy part of this?
- Oh, no. No.
Who else knows you have these photos?
Just you and the photo lab.
- And you're through with this now?
- Yes, sir, I am.
For now, all right, you better be. And
Sandy better not be involved with this.
Be prepared to come in
for further interrogation on this later.
Yes, sir.
- Is everything OK?
- Yeah. Is Friday still on?
- You didn't tell him about me?
- No. Shh.
Why did I ever get you going on this?
- Of course Friday's still on.
- Great. See ya then.
Good night, Detective Williams.
- Night, Sandy.
- Good night, Jeffrey.
Dad?
What's wrong?
There better be nothin' wrong.
Let's see.
- I'll get it.
- OK, thanks.
- Jeffrey, come on in.
- Thanks, Mrs. Williams.
- She's all ready.
- OK.
- You look great.
- Thanks.
- Hello, Detective Williams.
- Hello, Jeffrey.
- You all set?
- Almost.
Hey, John, get a move on.
Just a minute, Tom.
Easy does it, Jeffrey.
Behave yourself. Don't blow it.
Come on, John. Get it in gear, pal.
So long, Jeffrey.
You two have a nice time tonight, OK?
- OK.
- What's goin' on?
Just a little fatherly advice.
That's right, Jeffrey.
Come on.
- Bye, Dad.
- Bye.
- Good night, Mom.
- Bye. Have a good time.
- Night, Sandy.
- Good night, Tom.
- Jeffrey, what was that all about?
- It's nothing.
Really.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
- It's all taken care of.
- OK.

Wanna dance?
Yeah.

I've called for an ambulance.
The police are on their way.
Don't get the police!

I love you! Love me!

Tell me it's all right
I opened myself to you.
- Tell me it's all right.
- Sandy, please...
- Sandy?
- I'll get a coat to put on her.
Jeffrey? What's going on here?
Shh. I'll tell you.
They... they've hurt his head.
Who, Dorothy?
Don. Help him.
Help him.
Promise me you'll help him!
He put his disease in me.
Would you like to
come in the ambulance?
I'll be right with you.
I should go.
- Go.
- Sandy...
Hold me! I'm falling!
I'm falling! Hold me!
- You lied to me.
- Sandy, please, forgive me.
I love you.
I forgive you, Jeffrey.
I love you.
I love you.
I... But I couldn't watch that.
- Is she OK?
- Yeah, she's OK.
Get your father. Tell him to send
the police to Dorothy's apartment.
Tell him to hurry.
I'm leaving right now.
- Jeffrey, no.
- I have to.
- I love you.
- Oh, God, be careful.
I will, believe me.
Where...
Where is my dream?
Look, this is an emergency.
He said someone was hurt
and he wants Detective Williams there.
We do not know his whereabouts
at this time.
Well, find him!
Get back and stay down.
He's going to apartment 26.

It's a sunny, woodsy day in Lumberton,
so get those chainsaws out.
This is the mighty W-O-O-D,
the musical voice of Lumberton.
At the sound of the falling tree...
...it's 9:30!
There's a whole lotta wood
waitin' out there, so let's get goin'.
Mr. Beaumont?
Your son Jeffrey's here to see you.
Hey, Dad.
Do you have a Detective Williams
still working here?
Yes, he's up in room 221.
Right up the stairs,
through that door.
Thanks.
Detective Williams?
Yes?
My name is Jeffrey Beaumont. I live near
you. I believe you know my father Tom?
- Beaumont's Hardware Store?
- Sure I do.
I hear he's in the hospital.
- How's he doing?
- Well, he's OK, I guess. I hope.
They're doing tests.
That's why I'm home from school.
I was at the hospital this morning
and, coming home through
the field behind Vista,
I, uh... found an ear.
You did? A human ear?
Yeah. I thought
I should bring it to you.
Yeah, that's right.
Let's take a look at it.
Yes, that's a human ear, all right.
Let's see what the coroner makes of it.
Then I want you to show me
exactly where you found it.
All right.
We'll check the morgue records, but I
don't recall anything minus an ear.
The person may very well
still be alive somewhere.
What can you tell about the person
from the ear?
Once the tests are done, quite a lot.
Sex, blood type,
whether the ear came off a dead person.
Also, it looks like
the ear was cut off with scissors.
- I'm goin' out for a while.
- Do you want the car?
- No, I'm just gonna walk around.
- All right.
You're not going down by Lincoln,
are you?
No, just around the neighborhood.
Don't worry.
OK, honey.
Hello. My name is Jeffrey Beaumont.
Is Detective Williams here?
- Oh, yes. Yes, Jeffrey, come on in.
- Thanks.
Well, Jeffrey, you found
something very interesting.
Very interesting. I know you must
be curious to know more.
But I have to ask you not only
not to tell anybody about your find,
but also not to ask more about the case.
One day when it's all sewed up,
I'll let you know all the details.
Right now, though, I can't.
I understand.
I'm just real curious, like you said.
I was the same way myself
when I was your age.
- That's what got me into this business.
- Must be great.
It's horrible, too.
I'm sorry, Jeffrey.
That's the way it has to be.
Anyway, I know you do understand.
Sure.
- Thanks for the card for Dad.
- You're welcome. Nice to meet you.
You, too.
- Say hello to Sandy for me.
- We will.
- Good night, Jeffrey.
- Good night.
Are you the one
that found the ear?
How did you know?
I just know, that's all.
- I remember you from Central.
- Are you a senior?
Yup.
- How is Central these days?
- Terrible.
- I don't know... boring.
- What else is new!
So what are you doin' now?
I'm home from school.
My father's in the hospital.
- That's too bad.
- Yeah.
What do you know about the ear?
- Didn't Dad say not to talk about it?
- Yeah, but you brought it up.
You know anything?
I don't know much but bits
and pieces. I hear things.
Yeah?
My room is above
my father's office so...
Above your father's office?
- So I heard a few things about the ear.
- Uh-huh. And?
Well... there are a couple of cases
I get mixed up on.
But one name that keeps coming up
is this woman singer.
She lives in an apartment
real close to your house.
Close to the field
where you found the ear.
It's a strange world,
isn't it?
- Yeah.
- Where is this apartment?
It's really close by.
That's what's so creepy.
They had her under surveillance,
'cept I don't know what they found out
'cause she's not my dad's case. So...
I guess you gotta get
back home pretty soon, huh?
Not really. Why?
Well, uh...
- You... wanna see the building.
- Yeah.
- Come on, I'll show you.
- OK.
Hey, baby! Hey, babe!
That's her building right there.
She lives on the seventh floor.
Come on.
So, uh... what are you gonna do
now that you're home?
Help out at my father's hardware store.
They're giving me my own hours,
which is nice.
I used to know a kid that lived there.
Had the biggest tongue in the world.
What happened to him?
I don't know. He moved away.
All my old friends are gone.
- You know the chicken walk?
- What's that?
That's kind of interesting.
- Coffee time.
- Yo!
Hey, Double Ed, where are the overalls?
They're on the bottom shelf, rolled up,
where they've always been.
Hey, Ed, how many fingers?
Four.
I still don't know how you do that.
Now listen. You sure you don't
need me or this rig for a while?
If you wanna spray for bugs,
Jeffrey, it causes us no pain.
Okey-dokey, Double Ed.
- Oh, it's so good to have you back.
- Yeah, sure.
You hungry or thirsty, or both?
I don't know.
I'd like to talk to you about somethin'.
Wait just a minute.
Listen. Don't you guys
dare say anything to Mike.
- Sure.
- It's not what you think, OK?
- Promise?
- Whatever you say.
- I don't wanna cause trouble.
- I'm here, aren't I?
- He is nice-lookin'.
- Yeah.
You ever been to Arlene's?
Of course.
Now are you gonna tell me
why we're here?
There are opportunities in life
for gaining knowledge and experience.
Sometimes it's necessary to take a risk.
I'll bet someone could learn a lot
by getting into that woman's apartment.
You know, sneak in, hide, and observe.
- Sneak into her apartment?
- Yeah.
Are you crazy?
Jeffrey, she's possibly involved in
murder. This is givin' me the creeps.
Now just settle down.
I have a plan which I think will work.
There's very little for you to do,
but I do need your help.
Don't you even wanna hear the plan?
Tell me any plan you want, but it's not
going any further than this diner.
Sandy,
don't take that attitude.
All right. The first thing I need
is to get into her apartment
- and open a window to crawl into later.
- How are you gonna do that?
Right out in the car
I happen to have some old overalls
and a bug-spraying rig.
I will go to her apartment
as a pest-control man.
I will spray her apartment.
You knock on the door, draw her
attention away from me,
and I'll jimmy a window.
- And what do I say to her at the door?
- You will be a Jehovah's Witness.
I have some Awake! magazines for you.
I don't need very much time,
just a few seconds. Whaddaya think?
I don't know.
I mean, it sounds like a good daydream,
but... actually doing it's too weird.
- It's too dangerous.
- Sandy, let's just try the first part.
No one will suspect us.
No one would think two people like us
would be crazy enough to do this.
You have a point there.
Give me at least three minutes.
I can stall if it's more, but I need
time to find a good window. All right?
All right.
Let's go.
Here I go.
Wait a minute. What's her name?
Oh, brother, Jeffrey.
Dorothy Vallens, seventh floor.
Look on her mailbox
for the number, bright boy.
Thanks.
Dorothy Vallens, seventh floor.
OK. Good luck.
Good luck yourself.
Three minutes. No sooner.
Yes? What is it?
Pest control. I gotta do your apartment.
- That stuff stinks.
- This is new stuff. There's no smell.
Good.
Just need to do the kitchen.
Grand Central Station!
It's only the bug man.
- That should do it.
- Yeah?
- Are you all right?
- Yeah. What happened?
I was about to go to the door
when that guy did it for me.
- Was it all right?
- Yes and no. Did you recognize him?
I only saw his back. I think he went out
a door at the end of the hall.
I didn't get a good look at him either,
but he sure looked at me.
I didn't have time to get a window,
but I found these keys. Nifty, huh?
Yeah, if they open the door.
Yeah.
So, what's next?
- Are you game for more?
- I owe you one
since I goofed this one up.
You didn't goof it up.
But... you still owe me one.
I'm gonna try and sneak in tonight.
It's Friday. Do you have a date?
Yeah. I do.
Well, that does that.
- You really wanna do this, don't you?
- I don't want you to get involved.
I do, but if something went wrong...
Like you said,
they may be involved in murder.
OK. I'll tell Mike I'm sick.
Just so the record
is kept straight, though,
I love Mike.
What do you want me to do?
First we'll have a really nice dinner.
Try to find out
where Dorothy Vallens sings.
I already know.
The Slow Club on Route 7.
Great. I'll pick you up about eight?
Don't pick me up.
My dad might think it's strange.
I'll walk over to your house.
I'll be there at eight o'clock. OK?
You better get out
before someone sees us.
See ya!
Wait. Here's to an interesting
experience, huh?
I'll drink to that!
Man, I like Heineken!
You like Heineken?
- I never really had Heineken before.
- You never had Heineken before?
My dad drinks Bud.
- King of beers.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
the Blue Lady,
Miss Dorothy Vallens.

- Jeffrey, you shouldn't do this.
- Why not?
'Cause it's crazy... and dangerous.
- My God, I should have never told you.
- I'll be all right.
I don't think you should stay.
I think you should go home.

No, never before this.

No way! I want to see you!
Get undressed!

No.
Get over there on that couch.
Lie down.
Shut up! Don't say anything.
Hide in the closet.
Don't say anything, or I'll kill you.
I mean it.
- Hello, baby.
- Shut up!
It's Daddy, you shithead!
Where's my bourbon?
Can't you fuckin' remember anything?
Now it's dark.

Why don't you lie down?
Come on, I'll help you.
I don't like that.
What do you want?
Nothing.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
I'm all right.
I'll go, then.
Don?
- Oh, Don!
- No...
Oh, Don, hold me. Hold me.
I'm scared. I'm scared.
I'm scared!
It's OK. It's OK.
Don? Don?

Do you like me?
- Do you like me?

Do you like the way I feel?
Yes.

You can feel it.

You can feel it.
Do you like the way I feel?
Yes.

Hit me.

I'm leaving now.

Oh, my God. That hat.
She's married.
"Don."
Help me.
Now it's dark.
Hit me. Hit me.
Man, oh man.
- Sandy, can ya talk?
- Mike's here.
Oh. I guess I'll talk to you later,
then.
- Well, how'd it go?
- It went OK. I'll tell you about it.
I'll pick you up at eight.
New axe, 48721.
Twenty-two...
...ninety-five.
- I'll see ya then.
- OK, great.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
Well?
Aren't you gonna tell me about it?
OK.
It's a strange world, Sandy.
Dorothy Vallens is married,
to a man named Don.
They have a son.
I think the son and the husband have
been kidnapped by a man named Frank.
Frank has done this
to force Dorothy to do things for him.
I think she wants to die.
I think Frank cut the ear I found
off her husband
as a warning for her to stay alive.
Frank is, uh...
...a very dangerous man.
My God.
- Shouldn't you tell my father?
- No. I can't do that.
I can't prove any of this.
I found out my information illegally.
You could get into a lot of trouble.
You saw all that in one night?
It is a strange world.
Why are there people like Frank?
Why is there
so much trouble in this world?
I don't know.
I had a dream.
In fact, it was the night I met you.
In the dream, there was our world,
and the world was dark
because there weren't any robins.
And the robins represented love.
And for the longest time
there was just this darkness.
And all of a sudden
thousands of robins were set free.
And they flew down and
brought this blinding light of love.
And it seemed like that love
would be the only thing
that would make any difference,
and it did.
So I guess it means...
...there is trouble
till the robins come.
You're a neat girl.
So are you.
I mean... you're a neat guy.
I guess we better go.
Yeah. I guess so.
Hi. May I come in?
Yes.
Hurry, though.
Are you all right?
No, I'm not.
Why are you here?
- What do you want?
- I, um...
I looked for you in my closet tonight.
It's crazy, I know.
I don't know where you come from, but...
...I like you.
It's not crazy. I like you too.
I liked being with you last night.
Same here.
Please be with me.
Be with me, please.

Oh, great.
- You're late.
- I'm sorry.
- What am I gonna do now?
- You wanna go talk to him?
Yeah, but...
I don't think it's gonna do much good.
Let's just go.
I'll try to talk to him later.
See that clock on the wall?
Yeah.
Five minutes from now, you're not
gonna believe what I've told you.
Number one.
Today I staked out Frank's place
with a camera.
There's another man involved in all
this. I call him the Yellow Man.
You saw his back the other day
at Dorothy's apartment.
Today I saw the Yellow Man go into
Frank's building, laughing with Frank.
Now, the only trouble is,
what does that prove?
Nothing, really. But it's interesting.
Number two.
I saw the Yellow Man come out
and meet a well-dressed man
carrying an alligator briefcase.
They went to a factory, stood on a
staircase and looked into the distance.
Now get this. In the distance,
there was a murder.
A drug dealer was shot to death
and a woman had her legs broken.
Jeffrey...
Then two guys told me the police would
find drugs in the dead dealer's place.
I can't believe what you're finding out.
Are you gonna continue with this?
Yeah.
Until when?
What are you gonna do with this?
Well, I don't know.
You're not going back to her apartment?
Yeah.
Jeffrey, why?
I'm seeing something
that was always hidden.
I'm involved in a mystery.
I'm in the middle of a mystery.
And it's all secret.
You like mysteries that much?
Yeah.
You're a mystery.
I like you...
...very much.
Yeah?
Jeffrey, don't. Please.
You worry about me? Really?
Yeah.
Is that so surprising?
Yeah, I worry... a lot.
I got you into this.

What do you mean,
you're lucky to be able to call me?
Things got out of hand.
I know some things. They could help your
father, but you might get into trouble.
Look, forget me. You've got to tell him.
OK. I promise I won't mention you.
Jeffrey, I mean it. It doesn't matter.
Good. I'll see you Friday,
if not before.
OK.
- Bye-bye, Sandy.
- Bye.
- I don't wanna talk about it.
- But...
Everything is OK now.
I just don't wanna talk about it.
Sometimes it's good to talk things over.

- Hi, Sandy.
- Hi, Jeffrey.
Sorry to bother you,
but I need to talk.
OK. Looks like you had a bad face-lift.
- Yeah.
- Come on into my study.
I have to show you some photos
and tell you some things about them.
This is the first picture.
It's Frank Booth.
He is a very sick and dangerous man.
His address is on the back of the photo.
This photo is of Frank and another man
as they went into Frank's building.
And then that man came out and met
with a third man. This well-dressed guy.
Here's that photo.
I think a woman named Dorothy Vallens
is in trouble with these people.
I think Frank kidnapped her husband
and son. I have no hard proof of this.
- Is Sandy part of this?
- Oh, no. No.
Who else knows you have these photos?
Just you and the photo lab.
- And you're through with this now?
- Yes, sir, I am.
For now, all right, you better be. And
Sandy better not be involved with this.
Be prepared to come in
for further interrogation on this later.
Yes, sir.
- Is everything OK?
- Yeah. Is Friday still on?
- You didn't tell him about me?
- No. Shh.
Why did I ever get you going on this?
- Of course Friday's still on.
- Great. See ya then.
Good night, Detective Williams.
- Night, Sandy.
- Good night, Jeffrey.
Dad?
What's wrong?
There better be nothin' wrong.
