The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (1977–1979): Season 2, Episode 22 - Campus Terror - full transcript
It looks like he
watches them first,
maybe follows them,
waits for the perfect moment
and then strikes.
(SCREAMS)
Now, I want you
to hit me.
Look, I didn't attack her.
My class begins at 7:30.
Then you know she was
attacked around that time.
Every girl on the campus
is scared to death.
I think we're dealing
with a psycho.
I'll let you know
when I'm ready.
You make it sound
as if ROC were alive.
Does he sound
human to you?
(SNARLING)
Open the door,
Frank.
It's locked.
(DOG BARKING)
NARRATOR:
Tonight on the Hardy Boys,
Campus Terror.
That experiment
was a killer.
Hey, come on, we're
going to be late for class.
Oh, wait I forgot
my keys in the lab.
I'll wait here
for you.
(BARKING)
(SCREAMS)
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
ROBOTIC MAN'S VOICE:
I have Jill now.
I have taken her
the same way
I have taken the others.
And no one can stop me.
You must understand that.
Not even Frank and Joe Hardy.
One by one,
until there are none.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
JOE: I tell you Frank, I'm
really concerned about her.
Yeah, I know, Joe.
She sounded really
distraught on the telephone.
Well, wouldn't you be if your
roommate was abducted?
The thing I don't understand
is why the caller mentioned us.
Wendy's the only person
that knows us up here.
I think I've got it
all figured out.
You do?
Trouble follows us
wherever we go.
New Orleans?
Mardi Gras? Trouble.
Hawaii. Marianne.
Trouble.
Los Angeles, burning
building, nearly fatal.
Here we are at some college
in the middle of the boonies...
I don't know, ...
Well, maybe Inspector Richards is
gonna have the whole thing worked out.
Yeah, maybe.
Okay,
back to work.
Alice?
Come here.
Now, I want you to hit me,
as hard as you can, right there.
(ALL EXCLAIM)
Joe!
Hi. It's so nice to see you. Hi.
Uh, Joe?
Oh! Frank. It's nice
to see you again, too.
Nice to see you.
Alice, this is Frank
and Joe Hardy.
Hi, Alice.
They're our guests
for the weekend.
You're the guys the voice
mentioned on the phone.
Why would he
do that?
That's what we're
here to find out.
Will this reunion
be much longer?
Or do you think
it would be possible
for me to continue
with this class?
Hold on a second,
okay?
Considering what's been happening
on this campus in the last two weeks,
it strikes me that
learning self-defense
might come in handy
for you girls.
(SIGHS) Look Sergio, I'm sorry, but
these are very good friends of mine.
Frank and Joe Hardy.
I really need
to talk to them.
Then you're dismissed.
Thank you.
The guy has
a certain style.
Yeah, I think
the word is "crass."
I thought you said
Wendy was an old flame.
Well, yeah, she's...
Some old flames
never die, I guess.
If you guys are going to be on
the campus for any length of time,
maybe you should
stick around.
Some lessons in self-defense
could come in handy.
We'll keep it in mind.
You do that.
And the federal people
have no leads?
No.
See, all three girls were
taken when they were alone.
First Sue Nelson
on Monday,
Janet Craig
on Wednesday,
and last night,
Jill Sommers.
Well, the agency
must have some ideas,
even if they don't have
a definite lead.
Well, they think
it's a psycho.
It looks like
he watches them first,
maybe follows them,
waits for the perfect moment
and then strikes.
Someone
on campus?
They don't know.
There hasn't been
any ransom demand?
No, nothing.
Are all three girls
from wealthy families?
Well, almost all of the students
here come from some money.
But not enough to...
Look, it just doesn't
make any sense, unless...
Unless the man
is sick.
Yeah, right.
Did you hear
his voice, Wendy?
What did it
sound like?
It was a deep,
strange voice.
It sounded like he was
calling from the grave.
He said, "I have Jill
and the others.
"And no one can
stop me.
"Not even Frank
and Joe Hardy."
And then
he laughed.
This awful laugh.
Wendy, we'll do
everything we can.
Hey, babe!
What's happening?
Hey, Fox!
Hey! Come on, Fox!
It's me, Jake!
When we
seeing you again?
You know
those guys?
No, I've never
seen them before.
Look, when you're 19
and even slightly attractive,
you always find
friends like that.
Do you know where
Jill was abducted?
One of the labs
in the chem building.
Do you know if
it was cleaned yet?
Well, I think they
started this morning.
That's a good place
to start.
One more thing. Can
you get me a computer list
of all the students'
and employees' names?
We should run over them. Maybe
we could recognize somebody.
Well, I don't know
if there's a list,
but there is
a computer.
Dr. Llewellyn runs it.
He's very protective
of that machine.
I mean, he won't let
anybody near it,
unless he knows exactly who
you are and what you want.
Well, I think
we can handle it.
Can you give us
some directions?
Yeah, it's right past
that building.
Okay, we'll check it out. Okay.
Hey, Joe, I really
am glad you're here.
Well, we could ask
for a computer readout,
like normal people.
Or would that be
too easy?
Joe, I wanna keep as low a
profile on campus as possible.
The fewer people that know
we're Frank and Joe Hardy,
the ones the voice
mentioned, the better.
You think the kidnapper
may still be on campus?
Well, after the
first kidnapping,
I'm sure this place was
swarming with undercover agents
and security police.
And yet the kidnapper
struck again, twice.
Yeah, I think it's someone
working on the inside.
Oh, good. That, uh...
That narrows it down
to a small city.
(SIGHS)
Let's check out the list
of residents. Oh, good.
(LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
Please. Please
let us out of here.
Let us go!
(TAPE RIPPING) What
do you want with us?
Please...
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER CONTINUES)
(SHATTERING)
LLEWELLYN: That's right,
break the rest of it!
I'm sorry,
Dr. Llewellyn.
I don't want you
to be sorry.
I want you
to be careful.
I'm sorry, you'll have
to come back later.
As you can see, we're
not quite prepared
to continue classes
at the moment.
Dr. Llewellyn,
I'm...
Frank Mathews, MIT.
This is my assistant
Joe Stern.
Hi. What
happened here?
Well, someone went
berserk last night.
Smashed everything.
A young lady
was kidnapped.
What do you want?
We're doing some research
into male-female ratios
at various northeastern
universities.
The Administration Building said you
could provide me with a computer printout
of students and faculty
here at East lake.
Research?
Yes, sociological. I'm a
grad student. It's for my thesis.
Very well, come with me.
(GLASS TINKLING)
Try to break as little as
possible will you Trudy,
when you sweep
the rest of it up?
I'd like to think there will be at
least a coffee cup when I return.
Stay here and see
what you can find out.
Wait. What's
my name again?
You're Stern.
I'm Mathews.
Got it.
Hi there.
Hi.
Are you a student here?
No, MIT.
I teach sociology.
A full professor?
Well, they kind of rushed
me through. You know,
Harvard at 14,
Columbia at 17,
after that, MIT.
Wow!
I heard Dr. Llewellyn say that a
girl was kidnapped here last night.
She was the third.
\Every girl on the campus
is scared to death.
Some Federal agents
set up a command post
in the Administration
Building this morning.
Looks like there was
quite a struggle.
They said it must've gone
on for several minutes.
And nobody heard
a thing.
(SMASHING)
Dr. Llewellyn's
gonna kill me!
How long has
Dr. Llewellyn been here?
Three semesters.
Everyone was looking
forward to his arrival.
We'd heard so much
about his experiments.
It sounded exciting.
Intellectually stimulating,
you understand?
Of course.
But he managed to alienate
everybody in the school in one semester.
There's something
about him.
What?
I don't know.
It's in his eyes.
(BEEPING)
Over a thousand names in a
couple of minutes. That's incredible.
The ROC 9000 is one of the most
advanced computers in the country.
Certainly the most
advanced in the region.
I'm very proud of him.
You make it sound
as if ROC were alive.
ROC: This is ROC 9000.
24-20. Ready when you are.
Does he sound human
to you?
It sure does.
Doctor, I wanna thank you
for all your help.
Always willing
to help a colleague.
Thank you.
What did you say the nature
of your research was again?
Male-female ratios on
American college campuses.
The sociological
ramifications.
Oh, I thought it was
northeastern campuses.
You're right. You're absolutely
right. Northeastern college campuses.
This is ROC 9000. 24-20.
Ready when you are.
I'll let you know
when I'm ready.
Yeah, just file this one for
now. I'll talk to that boy later.
Everyone on this campus
has their own suspect.
FRANK:
Inspector Richards?
Look, fella, did you read the
sign out there that said keep out?
It was put up there
for a reason.
Now, look, I know
everyone's trying to help,
but we can only assimilate so
much information at one time.
Why don't you come back
around 2:00, all right?
I'm Frank Hardy.
This is my brother, Joe.
You spoke to us
last night in Bay Port.
I spoke to you
last night in Bay Port
because the kidnapper
mentioned your names.
It wasn't an invitation
to come here and join me.
But we're here because
the kidnapper may know us.
Or we may know him.
He probably heard about that
Nancy Drew kidnapping case
you two solved
in Los Angeles.
What was it,
the Rathbone affair?
You two got a lot
of publicity out of that.
Inspector... Can tell me anything
you didn't tell me last night?
Well, no, but... Is there anything
you can do to help me now?
Well, not yet, but...
Then go home! Please!
Look, Jill Sommers' roommate, Wendy Chase,
is a good friend of ours. She's scared.
They're all scared.
But we wanna help.
I appreciate the offer,
but I guess we're just gonna have
to try and handle this one on our own.
By the way, when you
get back to Bay Port,
tell your father hello.
Now there was a cop.
Let's go do
some reading.
Zandy, Zebbs...
Zobrinksi.
Come on, Frank, how many
times can we go through these lists?
I mean, we don't know
one name on them.
Maybe Richards is right. The only
reason why the kidnapper used our names
is 'cause he'd
heard of us.
You know, there's one step in this kidnap
progression I don't understand at all.
Where's his ransom
phone call?
Where's the effort to squeeze the
money out of the parents of the victims,
or the school itself?
I know, Richards tapped
their phones.
What have they heard?
Nothing.
Not one a word. Three girls
in four days, and not one word.
Joe, I know what you're thinking,
that we're not dealing with extortion.
No, I think we're dealing
with a psycho.
I think the girls may
already be dead, Frank.
"Brian Ivar.
Llewellyn, Brian Ivar."
Brian Ivar Lewisson!
That's who Llewellyn is! The guy that
was doing those experiments on violence!
I recognized him
when I saw him.
I couldn't put it together,
but I recognized him.
Would it be interesting if the person
responsible for the kidnappings
was a student under
the influence of drugs?
I have another hypothesis.
What if the girls stumbled upon
something that Lewisson was doing?
I think it's time
we visited the doctor.
Hi.
Hi Alice,
where you going?
Class.
(GIRL SCREAMING)
WENDY: No! No!
TRUDY: Wendy,
it's okay.
Wendy. Wendy, what's
the matter? Wendy?
Wendy, it's all right.
It's all right.
(SIRENS BLARING)
JOE: Don't worry, Wendy, we're
here. It's over. You're safe now.
It's all right.
You're safe now.
Are these matches
yours, Wendy?
(CAR DOORS CLOSING)
No, I don't smoke.
I guess they're Jill's.
Who found her?
I did. She was
lying on the floor.
What about the window?
Was it already open?
Yeah. I think so.
Al right.
I'm gonna have to ask Miss
Chase some questions alone.
Surely your questions can wait
until tomorrow morning, Inspector.
She's still in shock.
The questions can't wait till
morning if we're gonna catch the man.
Now, I need to
talk to her alone.
No, Joe,
please stay with me.
I'll be in my room.
I'll be in the hall.
(SIGHS)
Now Wendy, try to describe as
best you can exactly what happened.
All right.
I wasn't feeling well.
So, I came back to my room,
and when I got past the door,
somebody jumped me.
I kicked and screamed a lot
but nobody heard me.
I can't remember.
How long ago was that?
A few minutes ago,
I think.
You think? You don't know?
Did you see his face?
No. What about this
room? Were the lights on?
No, the lights were off.
What about the window, where
the moonlight was coming through?
Did you see a shadow,
anything? Face, head, anything?
No, no,
it happened too quickly.
You didn't see anything?
No... Yes!
I don't know!
Look, she's obviously
told you all she knows.
I told you to stay
out of this.
Look, she was attacked, she
was a victim, she wasn't a witness.
Yeah.
All right, Wendy,
I'm sorry.
We're supposed to be here
to protect you,
and I guess my security wasn't quite
as tight as I had hoped it would be.
I'll see you in the morning,
get a statement from you.
In the meantime I'd like you to go down
the hall, find another room for a while.
My forensic team's coming in
to do some fingerprints, okay?
All right, now.
Come on. I am sorry.
Al right.
(PHONE RINGING)
Pick it up, Frank.
Hello?
ROC: Wendy is mine now. If
you want to see her alive again,
if you want to see any of them
alive, get off my back.
Tell Frank and Joe Hardy
to go home.
(PHONE CLICKS)
(DIAL TONE DRONING)
What did he say?
He talked like he had her in his possession,
just like he'd really kidnapped her.
Well, it seems the caller's
not the kidnapper.
Maybe just some guy with
a warped sense of humor.
Uh-uh. No, that was the
voice. That's the one I heard.
This guy must be
schizier than we thought.
Anything?
I've got it, but it's
too short to trace.
Well, this phone call
does prove one thing.
You two being on this campus
are jeopardizing lives.
I want you out of here
tomorrow, okay?
Wendy, I don't want you
to go out again tonight.
Be in my office
in the morning, 9:00.
Al right.
Is there another room
you can stay in tonight?
Mmm-hmm. Want
me to walk you there?
Please.
Go on.
You know how hard I've
worked to come here, Joe.
I know.
Now I wonder
if it was worth it.
Of course it was
worth it! You...
This will be over soon and
you can get back to your studies.
Back to your life.
I'm so scared.
I know.
(GIGGLES)
Sometimes I think of life as
walls that are closing in on me.
They get closer and closer
till I can't breathe.
Then when they finally
reach me, I'll be crushed.
Yeah, I remember.
But what you
have to remember is,
those walls are only existing
in your mind. They're not there.
They're not really there.
You know, I still
love you, Joe.
You should go
to sleep.
(SIGHS)
Just like old times.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, the best.
Will you stay and
talk to me for a while?
I don't think that's
such a good idea.
Please, Joe.
Go to sleep.
You always were
the rational one.
Don't push your luck!
Yeah. I'll see you
in the morning.
What do you got?
A ring.
It's inscribed
"Sergio Morse."
Yeah, that's the guy that
teaches the karate class.
Should we give this
to Richards?
Uh-uh, let's
follow it up first.
I don't want to face him
again empty-handed.
We still have
to see Llewellyn.
No, we'll talk to Sergio. Llewellyn's
not going to go anywhere.
All right, ladies, if you're
ever grabbed from behind,
here's a technique
that will work for you.
Instep.
Very vulnerable.
Bend and stretch,
strike and sweep.
Well, ladies!
Looks like we got a couple
of new members to our class!
Mr. Frank and Joe Hardy, I
believe. You wanna try your luck?
No, no, no, actually...
Sure, why not?
Frank, I think
we should discuss this.
Joe, it'll be all right.
Good, good. Now, then.
Frank, I don't think
this is such a good idea.
Joe, I can take
care of myself.
(GIRLS LAUGHING)
Not nice to interrupt
teacher's class.
Right.
(GRUNTS)
(GIRLS LAUGHING)
Practicing, huh?
Class is dismissed.
Is this yours?
Where'd you get it?
Somebody attacked Wendy Chase
in her sorority house tonight.
We found it
near her room.
I lost this ring here,
earlier today.
I take it off when
I'm teaching.
What was it doing
outside her room?
I don't know...
Were you there
tonight?
I was over there
around 7:00.
I wanted to talk to Wendy
about Jill Sommers.
Jill and I had been
seeing each other...
Did you talk to her?
I knocked on the door,
there was no answer.
Look, I didn't attack her.
I couldn't have!
My class begins
at 7:30.
Then you know she was
attacked around that time.
I... I assumed that
from what you said.
Right.
I wouldn't plan
any long trips.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Frank, did he sound anything like
the voice you heard on the phone?
No, not really.
You think he could
have disguised his voice?
Joe, I don't know.
The voice I heard was
without emotion or inflection.
Each word was simple,
clear, and mechanical.
What?
Mechanical!
What?
ROC!
Alice.
Alice?
(ALICE SCREAMING)
Come on!
And you haven't seen her
since that time, huh?
I didn't have anything to
do with the kidnappings.
I still can't understand
why you didn't just walk up,
ring the bell,
and ask for her.
Last summer vacation, I was in a
very, very bad car accident, see?
And I nearly died.
When I got out
of the hospital, finally,
I just dropped
out of sight,
because I didn't think
I could see Alice again.
You used to be a
student here at East lake?
Yeah. You know, Kappa
Delta fraternity, the whole shot.
(STAMMERING)
But, you see, there's...
The point is
that I...
What I wasted to do was,
I wanted to come here,
I wanted to see Alice,
I wanted to explain to her
what really happened.
She didn't know
about it?
Oh, no, when I dropped out of
school, I just led her to believe that I,
you know, ended our
relationship at the same time.
You've got to
understand something.
You have to
believe me.
I... I love her. I love
her very, very much.
And I want to tell her
very desperately
that that's
the way I feel
but it's like that, uh...
Every time I get
close to her,
every time I, uh...
Every time, you know,
that I get close to her,
every time I see her,
I just...
I'm sorry.
I start to lose my nerve.
(SOBBING)
Well, if it's an act,
it's a good performance.
We'll take him down
to the station,
fingerprint him,
interrogate him.
We may have
our man.
Wendy?
Wendy?
Wendy.
No!
(DOG WHINING)
I believe him,
Frank.
Yeah, so do I.
Which brings us back to where
we were going in the first place.
Llewellyn and ROC.
(WHIMPERING)
(SNARLING)
Open the door,
Frank.
It's locked.
Pilate! Royal! Sun!
Stay!
Who set
those dogs loose?
We thought you might
be able to answer that.
I would hardly let them
loose and stay, would I?
Pilate, Royal, Sun, come.
(DOGS WHINING)
I think it's about time
we had a little talk,
Mr. Lewisson.
I didn't think you were
graduate students.
Where were you
an hour ago?
Why? Wendy Chase was attacked.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I was here.
Working on the same
experiments you were doing
at New York
County College?
Or making calls with
your friend the computer?
Making calls?
I don't understand
what you're talking about.
Don't you?
Who are you?
I'm Joe Hardy. This
is my brother, Frank.
Our father handled
your case in New York.
When I was arrested
10 years ago,
I was a very sick man.
I didn't realize
the drugs I was using
would so adversely
affect my students.
It was ironic.
I was trying to find
a cure for violence.
I still am.
But what happened
to Brian Lewisson
has nothing to do
with me.
They are two entirely
different persons.
And yet the
experiments continue.
With animals.
These poor creatures would
have been put to sleep anyway.
If anything,
I'm trying to save them.
And you haven't used ROC
to deliver messages?
Messages?
We're sure that someone's
using this computer
to deliver these
threatening phone calls.
Is that possible?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
As a matter of fact,
it's quite simple.
All you need
is a beeper.
Anyone can instruct ROC to
perform one of his functions,
even by telephone.
But it wasn't me.
I would hardly have saved
you from those animals
if I had anything
to hide, would [?
Instruct ROC to repeat
his last telephone message.
(BEEPING)
Wendy is mine now.
If you want to see her
alive again,
if you want to see
any of them alive,
get off my back.
Tell Frank and Joe Hardy
to go home.
Yeah,
that's the voice.
Is there any way of locating the
person who made that phone call?
No, but we could listen
to where it came from.
(PHONE RINGING)
Excuse me.
Hello?
(BUZZING)
(METALLIC CLANGING)
(BELLS DINGING)
Sounds like
a pinball machine!
Yeah, it does!
Yes, I see.
All right,
I'll tell them.
Wendy Chase and Alice Smith
have disappeared.
They can't be found
on the campus.
Anywhere.
Do you have a tape recorder
we can borrow, Doctor?
Yes, I think so.
I'll get it for you.
I hope you realize
that it's almost midnight.
This had better
be important.
I think five kidnapped girls from
East Lake are important, don't you?
Do you recognize
this sound?
(PINBALL MACHINE DINGING)
Yeah! That's
Skylab, all right!
See all those
green dots?
Skylab!
All over town!
Skylab's a
pinball machine.
Boy, there are
a lot of them.
Here's a ten-mile radius
around East lake University.
There's one. Yeah,
Lucky's Bar and Grill.
There's one.
Red Slipper Inn.
And that one.
Maury's Pool Hall.
The matches we found in
Wendy's apartment. Right.
Thank you,
very much.
Listen, thanks for
your help, Mr. Kaplan.
It's gonna be
a big help.
But what
have you found?
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
(PINBALL MACHINES CLANGING)
Be my guest.
Well, you're the one who
always liked motorcycles.
Thanks.
Beat it!
Hey, weren't those bikers
on campus today?
I don't know, but they
look like they belong
to the same club.
Hi, there.
Was this girl
in here recently?
You guys cops?
No, we're
friends of hers.
She may be
in danger.
It's your shot, Gimp.
In a minute.
What, are you
squealing to the cops?
They ain't cops.
Shoot it, Gimp!
She went out back
to the amusement park.
Thank you. Come on,
Gimp, will you shoot it?
I'll shoot it!
(PUNCHES THUDDING)
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Keep in touch!
See you later!
She must have gone
through here.
JOE: That's funny. She
must have been alone.
I'll meet you back here
in 10 minutes, all right?
(MAN LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
Joe.
Wendy?
Don't call me that.
What do you want me
to call you?
"Sir."
(GIGGLES)
Wendy, it's me, Joe.
I said,
don't call me that!
My name's Gwen.
Gwen! You got that?
What's my name, Joe?
Gwen.
Very good.
Good, Joe.
She wouldn't
leave me alone,
and now you won't
leave me alone.
Who? Who wouldn't
leave you alone?
She won't!
The good little girl.
Simpering little Wendy,
all smiles
and soft looks.
Mama's little girl, with
the walls closing in on her.
She's gonna be crushed, but
she's not taking me with her.
Don't come
any closer, Joe.
I wanna help you.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
It's her
you wanna help.
It's her
you care about!
That good little girl.
Good grades, good grammar.
(WHISPERING)
I hate her guts!
Is that why
you kidnapped her?
Yeah!
Yeah, that's right.
Now she knows what
it's like to be caged inside.
Why did you kidnap
the other girls?
Because they're like her!
Her friends.
Dumb sorority chicks.
They found out about me
and wanted to tell!
Put the gun
down, please.
"Please," what?
Please, Gwen.
That's very good, Joe.
Very good.
Oh, come on!
You're not scared
of a little revolver, are...
(MAN CHUCKLING SOFTLY)
(MAN LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER CONTINUES)
Wendy! It's Wendy
who's been doing it!
What? She's out of her mind!
She needs help!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING
OVER PA)
(MAN LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
Untie them.
I'll be back.
Be careful.
She doesn't understand
what she's doing.
All right, Joe.
This is as far
as you go.
Come on, I want you to
have one last look at the world.
All right,
hold it right here.
Come on.
Over here.
Come on! Get in!
Open the gate.
(ENUNCIATING)
Open the gate!
Get in.
You're not gonna pull
that trigger.
Getting scared?
No.
Because I know Wendy.
Wendy wouldn't
let you do it.
Gwen's mixed up.
She's lost.
She doesn't know
what she's doing.
She's not a killer.
She's not strong enough.
Wendy's the strong one. No.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not!
Yes, you are!
You came from Gwen's
background, and you beat it.
Came to East lake School,
and that takes guts.
Takes determination.
Those walls closing in on
you never even reached you.
You're gonna go
to college,
and you're gonna make
something of yourself.
You're gonna be
somebody!
No! No, I won't!
I'm dropping out.
I'm gonna go on the road
with my friends.
Those aren't your friends!
That's Gwen talking!
And Gwen can't
take over Wendy,
because Wendy's stronger
and Gwen is weak.
No!
Yes! I don't want to hear that
from you anymore! You understand?
I'm sick of hearing
that from you!
Now listen,
let Gwen out of you!
I'm talking to Wendy now.
I'm talking to Wendy!
I don't want to
see her anymore.
(GROANS)
Joe? I... What
happened? Where am I?
It's all right.
It's all right.
Wendy's under
protective custody.
The courts ruled she undergo
psychiatric tests and care.
But the doctor says although
it may take some time,
with proper treatment she may
come out of it a much stronger person.
One person?
Well, they hope so.
The official term is schizophrenia
with aggressive-passive reactions.
What does that mean?
Well, most people are a
blend of conflicting emotions.
In Wendy's case, her
personality split in half.
One part was the
sweet girl we knew,
the other part was a girl
who came from the streets.
You see, that's
Wendy's background.
If she hadn't worked so hard
to get into East lake,
she might have ended up
exactly like Gwen.
Well, then she attacked
herself last night.
Exactly.
Where's Joe?
He's saying goodbye.
Joe.
Hi!
Hi.
Nice to see you, kid!
Sounds a little
like Gwen talking.
Come on, you're not
gonna see her again.
I'm glad.
I know this sounds a little
like the detective in me, but
how did you make
those phone calls?
Remote control.
Electronics!
Gwen's an expert.
What are they gonna
do to me?
Well, gonna help you.
They, uh...
Nobody's gonna press
any charges.
We're both grateful.
She didn't...
"I"
didn't know
what was happening.
I know.
Will you come back?
Sure. I'll come back.
I'll come back and see you.
You'll be all right.
Take care.
Yeah, you too.
All right?
Yeah. Let's
get out of here.
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
watches them first,
maybe follows them,
waits for the perfect moment
and then strikes.
(SCREAMS)
Now, I want you
to hit me.
Look, I didn't attack her.
My class begins at 7:30.
Then you know she was
attacked around that time.
Every girl on the campus
is scared to death.
I think we're dealing
with a psycho.
I'll let you know
when I'm ready.
You make it sound
as if ROC were alive.
Does he sound
human to you?
(SNARLING)
Open the door,
Frank.
It's locked.
(DOG BARKING)
NARRATOR:
Tonight on the Hardy Boys,
Campus Terror.
That experiment
was a killer.
Hey, come on, we're
going to be late for class.
Oh, wait I forgot
my keys in the lab.
I'll wait here
for you.
(BARKING)
(SCREAMS)
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
ROBOTIC MAN'S VOICE:
I have Jill now.
I have taken her
the same way
I have taken the others.
And no one can stop me.
You must understand that.
Not even Frank and Joe Hardy.
One by one,
until there are none.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
JOE: I tell you Frank, I'm
really concerned about her.
Yeah, I know, Joe.
She sounded really
distraught on the telephone.
Well, wouldn't you be if your
roommate was abducted?
The thing I don't understand
is why the caller mentioned us.
Wendy's the only person
that knows us up here.
I think I've got it
all figured out.
You do?
Trouble follows us
wherever we go.
New Orleans?
Mardi Gras? Trouble.
Hawaii. Marianne.
Trouble.
Los Angeles, burning
building, nearly fatal.
Here we are at some college
in the middle of the boonies...
I don't know, ...
Well, maybe Inspector Richards is
gonna have the whole thing worked out.
Yeah, maybe.
Okay,
back to work.
Alice?
Come here.
Now, I want you to hit me,
as hard as you can, right there.
(ALL EXCLAIM)
Joe!
Hi. It's so nice to see you. Hi.
Uh, Joe?
Oh! Frank. It's nice
to see you again, too.
Nice to see you.
Alice, this is Frank
and Joe Hardy.
Hi, Alice.
They're our guests
for the weekend.
You're the guys the voice
mentioned on the phone.
Why would he
do that?
That's what we're
here to find out.
Will this reunion
be much longer?
Or do you think
it would be possible
for me to continue
with this class?
Hold on a second,
okay?
Considering what's been happening
on this campus in the last two weeks,
it strikes me that
learning self-defense
might come in handy
for you girls.
(SIGHS) Look Sergio, I'm sorry, but
these are very good friends of mine.
Frank and Joe Hardy.
I really need
to talk to them.
Then you're dismissed.
Thank you.
The guy has
a certain style.
Yeah, I think
the word is "crass."
I thought you said
Wendy was an old flame.
Well, yeah, she's...
Some old flames
never die, I guess.
If you guys are going to be on
the campus for any length of time,
maybe you should
stick around.
Some lessons in self-defense
could come in handy.
We'll keep it in mind.
You do that.
And the federal people
have no leads?
No.
See, all three girls were
taken when they were alone.
First Sue Nelson
on Monday,
Janet Craig
on Wednesday,
and last night,
Jill Sommers.
Well, the agency
must have some ideas,
even if they don't have
a definite lead.
Well, they think
it's a psycho.
It looks like
he watches them first,
maybe follows them,
waits for the perfect moment
and then strikes.
Someone
on campus?
They don't know.
There hasn't been
any ransom demand?
No, nothing.
Are all three girls
from wealthy families?
Well, almost all of the students
here come from some money.
But not enough to...
Look, it just doesn't
make any sense, unless...
Unless the man
is sick.
Yeah, right.
Did you hear
his voice, Wendy?
What did it
sound like?
It was a deep,
strange voice.
It sounded like he was
calling from the grave.
He said, "I have Jill
and the others.
"And no one can
stop me.
"Not even Frank
and Joe Hardy."
And then
he laughed.
This awful laugh.
Wendy, we'll do
everything we can.
Hey, babe!
What's happening?
Hey, Fox!
Hey! Come on, Fox!
It's me, Jake!
When we
seeing you again?
You know
those guys?
No, I've never
seen them before.
Look, when you're 19
and even slightly attractive,
you always find
friends like that.
Do you know where
Jill was abducted?
One of the labs
in the chem building.
Do you know if
it was cleaned yet?
Well, I think they
started this morning.
That's a good place
to start.
One more thing. Can
you get me a computer list
of all the students'
and employees' names?
We should run over them. Maybe
we could recognize somebody.
Well, I don't know
if there's a list,
but there is
a computer.
Dr. Llewellyn runs it.
He's very protective
of that machine.
I mean, he won't let
anybody near it,
unless he knows exactly who
you are and what you want.
Well, I think
we can handle it.
Can you give us
some directions?
Yeah, it's right past
that building.
Okay, we'll check it out. Okay.
Hey, Joe, I really
am glad you're here.
Well, we could ask
for a computer readout,
like normal people.
Or would that be
too easy?
Joe, I wanna keep as low a
profile on campus as possible.
The fewer people that know
we're Frank and Joe Hardy,
the ones the voice
mentioned, the better.
You think the kidnapper
may still be on campus?
Well, after the
first kidnapping,
I'm sure this place was
swarming with undercover agents
and security police.
And yet the kidnapper
struck again, twice.
Yeah, I think it's someone
working on the inside.
Oh, good. That, uh...
That narrows it down
to a small city.
(SIGHS)
Let's check out the list
of residents. Oh, good.
(LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
Please. Please
let us out of here.
Let us go!
(TAPE RIPPING) What
do you want with us?
Please...
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER CONTINUES)
(SHATTERING)
LLEWELLYN: That's right,
break the rest of it!
I'm sorry,
Dr. Llewellyn.
I don't want you
to be sorry.
I want you
to be careful.
I'm sorry, you'll have
to come back later.
As you can see, we're
not quite prepared
to continue classes
at the moment.
Dr. Llewellyn,
I'm...
Frank Mathews, MIT.
This is my assistant
Joe Stern.
Hi. What
happened here?
Well, someone went
berserk last night.
Smashed everything.
A young lady
was kidnapped.
What do you want?
We're doing some research
into male-female ratios
at various northeastern
universities.
The Administration Building said you
could provide me with a computer printout
of students and faculty
here at East lake.
Research?
Yes, sociological. I'm a
grad student. It's for my thesis.
Very well, come with me.
(GLASS TINKLING)
Try to break as little as
possible will you Trudy,
when you sweep
the rest of it up?
I'd like to think there will be at
least a coffee cup when I return.
Stay here and see
what you can find out.
Wait. What's
my name again?
You're Stern.
I'm Mathews.
Got it.
Hi there.
Hi.
Are you a student here?
No, MIT.
I teach sociology.
A full professor?
Well, they kind of rushed
me through. You know,
Harvard at 14,
Columbia at 17,
after that, MIT.
Wow!
I heard Dr. Llewellyn say that a
girl was kidnapped here last night.
She was the third.
\Every girl on the campus
is scared to death.
Some Federal agents
set up a command post
in the Administration
Building this morning.
Looks like there was
quite a struggle.
They said it must've gone
on for several minutes.
And nobody heard
a thing.
(SMASHING)
Dr. Llewellyn's
gonna kill me!
How long has
Dr. Llewellyn been here?
Three semesters.
Everyone was looking
forward to his arrival.
We'd heard so much
about his experiments.
It sounded exciting.
Intellectually stimulating,
you understand?
Of course.
But he managed to alienate
everybody in the school in one semester.
There's something
about him.
What?
I don't know.
It's in his eyes.
(BEEPING)
Over a thousand names in a
couple of minutes. That's incredible.
The ROC 9000 is one of the most
advanced computers in the country.
Certainly the most
advanced in the region.
I'm very proud of him.
You make it sound
as if ROC were alive.
ROC: This is ROC 9000.
24-20. Ready when you are.
Does he sound human
to you?
It sure does.
Doctor, I wanna thank you
for all your help.
Always willing
to help a colleague.
Thank you.
What did you say the nature
of your research was again?
Male-female ratios on
American college campuses.
The sociological
ramifications.
Oh, I thought it was
northeastern campuses.
You're right. You're absolutely
right. Northeastern college campuses.
This is ROC 9000. 24-20.
Ready when you are.
I'll let you know
when I'm ready.
Yeah, just file this one for
now. I'll talk to that boy later.
Everyone on this campus
has their own suspect.
FRANK:
Inspector Richards?
Look, fella, did you read the
sign out there that said keep out?
It was put up there
for a reason.
Now, look, I know
everyone's trying to help,
but we can only assimilate so
much information at one time.
Why don't you come back
around 2:00, all right?
I'm Frank Hardy.
This is my brother, Joe.
You spoke to us
last night in Bay Port.
I spoke to you
last night in Bay Port
because the kidnapper
mentioned your names.
It wasn't an invitation
to come here and join me.
But we're here because
the kidnapper may know us.
Or we may know him.
He probably heard about that
Nancy Drew kidnapping case
you two solved
in Los Angeles.
What was it,
the Rathbone affair?
You two got a lot
of publicity out of that.
Inspector... Can tell me anything
you didn't tell me last night?
Well, no, but... Is there anything
you can do to help me now?
Well, not yet, but...
Then go home! Please!
Look, Jill Sommers' roommate, Wendy Chase,
is a good friend of ours. She's scared.
They're all scared.
But we wanna help.
I appreciate the offer,
but I guess we're just gonna have
to try and handle this one on our own.
By the way, when you
get back to Bay Port,
tell your father hello.
Now there was a cop.
Let's go do
some reading.
Zandy, Zebbs...
Zobrinksi.
Come on, Frank, how many
times can we go through these lists?
I mean, we don't know
one name on them.
Maybe Richards is right. The only
reason why the kidnapper used our names
is 'cause he'd
heard of us.
You know, there's one step in this kidnap
progression I don't understand at all.
Where's his ransom
phone call?
Where's the effort to squeeze the
money out of the parents of the victims,
or the school itself?
I know, Richards tapped
their phones.
What have they heard?
Nothing.
Not one a word. Three girls
in four days, and not one word.
Joe, I know what you're thinking,
that we're not dealing with extortion.
No, I think we're dealing
with a psycho.
I think the girls may
already be dead, Frank.
"Brian Ivar.
Llewellyn, Brian Ivar."
Brian Ivar Lewisson!
That's who Llewellyn is! The guy that
was doing those experiments on violence!
I recognized him
when I saw him.
I couldn't put it together,
but I recognized him.
Would it be interesting if the person
responsible for the kidnappings
was a student under
the influence of drugs?
I have another hypothesis.
What if the girls stumbled upon
something that Lewisson was doing?
I think it's time
we visited the doctor.
Hi.
Hi Alice,
where you going?
Class.
(GIRL SCREAMING)
WENDY: No! No!
TRUDY: Wendy,
it's okay.
Wendy. Wendy, what's
the matter? Wendy?
Wendy, it's all right.
It's all right.
(SIRENS BLARING)
JOE: Don't worry, Wendy, we're
here. It's over. You're safe now.
It's all right.
You're safe now.
Are these matches
yours, Wendy?
(CAR DOORS CLOSING)
No, I don't smoke.
I guess they're Jill's.
Who found her?
I did. She was
lying on the floor.
What about the window?
Was it already open?
Yeah. I think so.
Al right.
I'm gonna have to ask Miss
Chase some questions alone.
Surely your questions can wait
until tomorrow morning, Inspector.
She's still in shock.
The questions can't wait till
morning if we're gonna catch the man.
Now, I need to
talk to her alone.
No, Joe,
please stay with me.
I'll be in my room.
I'll be in the hall.
(SIGHS)
Now Wendy, try to describe as
best you can exactly what happened.
All right.
I wasn't feeling well.
So, I came back to my room,
and when I got past the door,
somebody jumped me.
I kicked and screamed a lot
but nobody heard me.
I can't remember.
How long ago was that?
A few minutes ago,
I think.
You think? You don't know?
Did you see his face?
No. What about this
room? Were the lights on?
No, the lights were off.
What about the window, where
the moonlight was coming through?
Did you see a shadow,
anything? Face, head, anything?
No, no,
it happened too quickly.
You didn't see anything?
No... Yes!
I don't know!
Look, she's obviously
told you all she knows.
I told you to stay
out of this.
Look, she was attacked, she
was a victim, she wasn't a witness.
Yeah.
All right, Wendy,
I'm sorry.
We're supposed to be here
to protect you,
and I guess my security wasn't quite
as tight as I had hoped it would be.
I'll see you in the morning,
get a statement from you.
In the meantime I'd like you to go down
the hall, find another room for a while.
My forensic team's coming in
to do some fingerprints, okay?
All right, now.
Come on. I am sorry.
Al right.
(PHONE RINGING)
Pick it up, Frank.
Hello?
ROC: Wendy is mine now. If
you want to see her alive again,
if you want to see any of them
alive, get off my back.
Tell Frank and Joe Hardy
to go home.
(PHONE CLICKS)
(DIAL TONE DRONING)
What did he say?
He talked like he had her in his possession,
just like he'd really kidnapped her.
Well, it seems the caller's
not the kidnapper.
Maybe just some guy with
a warped sense of humor.
Uh-uh. No, that was the
voice. That's the one I heard.
This guy must be
schizier than we thought.
Anything?
I've got it, but it's
too short to trace.
Well, this phone call
does prove one thing.
You two being on this campus
are jeopardizing lives.
I want you out of here
tomorrow, okay?
Wendy, I don't want you
to go out again tonight.
Be in my office
in the morning, 9:00.
Al right.
Is there another room
you can stay in tonight?
Mmm-hmm. Want
me to walk you there?
Please.
Go on.
You know how hard I've
worked to come here, Joe.
I know.
Now I wonder
if it was worth it.
Of course it was
worth it! You...
This will be over soon and
you can get back to your studies.
Back to your life.
I'm so scared.
I know.
(GIGGLES)
Sometimes I think of life as
walls that are closing in on me.
They get closer and closer
till I can't breathe.
Then when they finally
reach me, I'll be crushed.
Yeah, I remember.
But what you
have to remember is,
those walls are only existing
in your mind. They're not there.
They're not really there.
You know, I still
love you, Joe.
You should go
to sleep.
(SIGHS)
Just like old times.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, the best.
Will you stay and
talk to me for a while?
I don't think that's
such a good idea.
Please, Joe.
Go to sleep.
You always were
the rational one.
Don't push your luck!
Yeah. I'll see you
in the morning.
What do you got?
A ring.
It's inscribed
"Sergio Morse."
Yeah, that's the guy that
teaches the karate class.
Should we give this
to Richards?
Uh-uh, let's
follow it up first.
I don't want to face him
again empty-handed.
We still have
to see Llewellyn.
No, we'll talk to Sergio. Llewellyn's
not going to go anywhere.
All right, ladies, if you're
ever grabbed from behind,
here's a technique
that will work for you.
Instep.
Very vulnerable.
Bend and stretch,
strike and sweep.
Well, ladies!
Looks like we got a couple
of new members to our class!
Mr. Frank and Joe Hardy, I
believe. You wanna try your luck?
No, no, no, actually...
Sure, why not?
Frank, I think
we should discuss this.
Joe, it'll be all right.
Good, good. Now, then.
Frank, I don't think
this is such a good idea.
Joe, I can take
care of myself.
(GIRLS LAUGHING)
Not nice to interrupt
teacher's class.
Right.
(GRUNTS)
(GIRLS LAUGHING)
Practicing, huh?
Class is dismissed.
Is this yours?
Where'd you get it?
Somebody attacked Wendy Chase
in her sorority house tonight.
We found it
near her room.
I lost this ring here,
earlier today.
I take it off when
I'm teaching.
What was it doing
outside her room?
I don't know...
Were you there
tonight?
I was over there
around 7:00.
I wanted to talk to Wendy
about Jill Sommers.
Jill and I had been
seeing each other...
Did you talk to her?
I knocked on the door,
there was no answer.
Look, I didn't attack her.
I couldn't have!
My class begins
at 7:30.
Then you know she was
attacked around that time.
I... I assumed that
from what you said.
Right.
I wouldn't plan
any long trips.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Frank, did he sound anything like
the voice you heard on the phone?
No, not really.
You think he could
have disguised his voice?
Joe, I don't know.
The voice I heard was
without emotion or inflection.
Each word was simple,
clear, and mechanical.
What?
Mechanical!
What?
ROC!
Alice.
Alice?
(ALICE SCREAMING)
Come on!
And you haven't seen her
since that time, huh?
I didn't have anything to
do with the kidnappings.
I still can't understand
why you didn't just walk up,
ring the bell,
and ask for her.
Last summer vacation, I was in a
very, very bad car accident, see?
And I nearly died.
When I got out
of the hospital, finally,
I just dropped
out of sight,
because I didn't think
I could see Alice again.
You used to be a
student here at East lake?
Yeah. You know, Kappa
Delta fraternity, the whole shot.
(STAMMERING)
But, you see, there's...
The point is
that I...
What I wasted to do was,
I wanted to come here,
I wanted to see Alice,
I wanted to explain to her
what really happened.
She didn't know
about it?
Oh, no, when I dropped out of
school, I just led her to believe that I,
you know, ended our
relationship at the same time.
You've got to
understand something.
You have to
believe me.
I... I love her. I love
her very, very much.
And I want to tell her
very desperately
that that's
the way I feel
but it's like that, uh...
Every time I get
close to her,
every time I, uh...
Every time, you know,
that I get close to her,
every time I see her,
I just...
I'm sorry.
I start to lose my nerve.
(SOBBING)
Well, if it's an act,
it's a good performance.
We'll take him down
to the station,
fingerprint him,
interrogate him.
We may have
our man.
Wendy?
Wendy?
Wendy.
No!
(DOG WHINING)
I believe him,
Frank.
Yeah, so do I.
Which brings us back to where
we were going in the first place.
Llewellyn and ROC.
(WHIMPERING)
(SNARLING)
Open the door,
Frank.
It's locked.
Pilate! Royal! Sun!
Stay!
Who set
those dogs loose?
We thought you might
be able to answer that.
I would hardly let them
loose and stay, would I?
Pilate, Royal, Sun, come.
(DOGS WHINING)
I think it's about time
we had a little talk,
Mr. Lewisson.
I didn't think you were
graduate students.
Where were you
an hour ago?
Why? Wendy Chase was attacked.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I was here.
Working on the same
experiments you were doing
at New York
County College?
Or making calls with
your friend the computer?
Making calls?
I don't understand
what you're talking about.
Don't you?
Who are you?
I'm Joe Hardy. This
is my brother, Frank.
Our father handled
your case in New York.
When I was arrested
10 years ago,
I was a very sick man.
I didn't realize
the drugs I was using
would so adversely
affect my students.
It was ironic.
I was trying to find
a cure for violence.
I still am.
But what happened
to Brian Lewisson
has nothing to do
with me.
They are two entirely
different persons.
And yet the
experiments continue.
With animals.
These poor creatures would
have been put to sleep anyway.
If anything,
I'm trying to save them.
And you haven't used ROC
to deliver messages?
Messages?
We're sure that someone's
using this computer
to deliver these
threatening phone calls.
Is that possible?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
As a matter of fact,
it's quite simple.
All you need
is a beeper.
Anyone can instruct ROC to
perform one of his functions,
even by telephone.
But it wasn't me.
I would hardly have saved
you from those animals
if I had anything
to hide, would [?
Instruct ROC to repeat
his last telephone message.
(BEEPING)
Wendy is mine now.
If you want to see her
alive again,
if you want to see
any of them alive,
get off my back.
Tell Frank and Joe Hardy
to go home.
Yeah,
that's the voice.
Is there any way of locating the
person who made that phone call?
No, but we could listen
to where it came from.
(PHONE RINGING)
Excuse me.
Hello?
(BUZZING)
(METALLIC CLANGING)
(BELLS DINGING)
Sounds like
a pinball machine!
Yeah, it does!
Yes, I see.
All right,
I'll tell them.
Wendy Chase and Alice Smith
have disappeared.
They can't be found
on the campus.
Anywhere.
Do you have a tape recorder
we can borrow, Doctor?
Yes, I think so.
I'll get it for you.
I hope you realize
that it's almost midnight.
This had better
be important.
I think five kidnapped girls from
East Lake are important, don't you?
Do you recognize
this sound?
(PINBALL MACHINE DINGING)
Yeah! That's
Skylab, all right!
See all those
green dots?
Skylab!
All over town!
Skylab's a
pinball machine.
Boy, there are
a lot of them.
Here's a ten-mile radius
around East lake University.
There's one. Yeah,
Lucky's Bar and Grill.
There's one.
Red Slipper Inn.
And that one.
Maury's Pool Hall.
The matches we found in
Wendy's apartment. Right.
Thank you,
very much.
Listen, thanks for
your help, Mr. Kaplan.
It's gonna be
a big help.
But what
have you found?
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
(PINBALL MACHINES CLANGING)
Be my guest.
Well, you're the one who
always liked motorcycles.
Thanks.
Beat it!
Hey, weren't those bikers
on campus today?
I don't know, but they
look like they belong
to the same club.
Hi, there.
Was this girl
in here recently?
You guys cops?
No, we're
friends of hers.
She may be
in danger.
It's your shot, Gimp.
In a minute.
What, are you
squealing to the cops?
They ain't cops.
Shoot it, Gimp!
She went out back
to the amusement park.
Thank you. Come on,
Gimp, will you shoot it?
I'll shoot it!
(PUNCHES THUDDING)
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Keep in touch!
See you later!
She must have gone
through here.
JOE: That's funny. She
must have been alone.
I'll meet you back here
in 10 minutes, all right?
(MAN LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
Joe.
Wendy?
Don't call me that.
What do you want me
to call you?
"Sir."
(GIGGLES)
Wendy, it's me, Joe.
I said,
don't call me that!
My name's Gwen.
Gwen! You got that?
What's my name, Joe?
Gwen.
Very good.
Good, Joe.
She wouldn't
leave me alone,
and now you won't
leave me alone.
Who? Who wouldn't
leave you alone?
She won't!
The good little girl.
Simpering little Wendy,
all smiles
and soft looks.
Mama's little girl, with
the walls closing in on her.
She's gonna be crushed, but
she's not taking me with her.
Don't come
any closer, Joe.
I wanna help you.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
It's her
you wanna help.
It's her
you care about!
That good little girl.
Good grades, good grammar.
(WHISPERING)
I hate her guts!
Is that why
you kidnapped her?
Yeah!
Yeah, that's right.
Now she knows what
it's like to be caged inside.
Why did you kidnap
the other girls?
Because they're like her!
Her friends.
Dumb sorority chicks.
They found out about me
and wanted to tell!
Put the gun
down, please.
"Please," what?
Please, Gwen.
That's very good, Joe.
Very good.
Oh, come on!
You're not scared
of a little revolver, are...
(MAN CHUCKLING SOFTLY)
(MAN LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER CONTINUES)
Wendy! It's Wendy
who's been doing it!
What? She's out of her mind!
She needs help!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING
OVER PA)
(MAN LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY)
Untie them.
I'll be back.
Be careful.
She doesn't understand
what she's doing.
All right, Joe.
This is as far
as you go.
Come on, I want you to
have one last look at the world.
All right,
hold it right here.
Come on.
Over here.
Come on! Get in!
Open the gate.
(ENUNCIATING)
Open the gate!
Get in.
You're not gonna pull
that trigger.
Getting scared?
No.
Because I know Wendy.
Wendy wouldn't
let you do it.
Gwen's mixed up.
She's lost.
She doesn't know
what she's doing.
She's not a killer.
She's not strong enough.
Wendy's the strong one. No.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not!
Yes, you are!
You came from Gwen's
background, and you beat it.
Came to East lake School,
and that takes guts.
Takes determination.
Those walls closing in on
you never even reached you.
You're gonna go
to college,
and you're gonna make
something of yourself.
You're gonna be
somebody!
No! No, I won't!
I'm dropping out.
I'm gonna go on the road
with my friends.
Those aren't your friends!
That's Gwen talking!
And Gwen can't
take over Wendy,
because Wendy's stronger
and Gwen is weak.
No!
Yes! I don't want to hear that
from you anymore! You understand?
I'm sick of hearing
that from you!
Now listen,
let Gwen out of you!
I'm talking to Wendy now.
I'm talking to Wendy!
I don't want to
see her anymore.
(GROANS)
Joe? I... What
happened? Where am I?
It's all right.
It's all right.
Wendy's under
protective custody.
The courts ruled she undergo
psychiatric tests and care.
But the doctor says although
it may take some time,
with proper treatment she may
come out of it a much stronger person.
One person?
Well, they hope so.
The official term is schizophrenia
with aggressive-passive reactions.
What does that mean?
Well, most people are a
blend of conflicting emotions.
In Wendy's case, her
personality split in half.
One part was the
sweet girl we knew,
the other part was a girl
who came from the streets.
You see, that's
Wendy's background.
If she hadn't worked so hard
to get into East lake,
she might have ended up
exactly like Gwen.
Well, then she attacked
herself last night.
Exactly.
Where's Joe?
He's saying goodbye.
Joe.
Hi!
Hi.
Nice to see you, kid!
Sounds a little
like Gwen talking.
Come on, you're not
gonna see her again.
I'm glad.
I know this sounds a little
like the detective in me, but
how did you make
those phone calls?
Remote control.
Electronics!
Gwen's an expert.
What are they gonna
do to me?
Well, gonna help you.
They, uh...
Nobody's gonna press
any charges.
We're both grateful.
She didn't...
"I"
didn't know
what was happening.
I know.
Will you come back?
Sure. I'll come back.
I'll come back and see you.
You'll be all right.
Take care.
Yeah, you too.
All right?
Yeah. Let's
get out of here.
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
