Couldn't even turn and hide. 313 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Dr. Martin stared at me a minute, unbelievably, and his jaw hardened. 314 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000 After a long time, he put out his hand. Because there was nothing else to do, I took it. 315 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000 Oh, this is Mr. Baker, doctor. It's his wife who has this trigeminal condition. 316 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000 His wife, eh? 317 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000 Yes, of course. You didn't think I meant Mr. Baker, did you?

He was telling me about a case he just saw on Toledo. 320 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000 It was Toledo, wasn't it, Martin? Symptoms were remarkably similar to Mrs. Baker's, remarkably. 321 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000 I thought he might like to look in on Mrs. Baker. You don't mind? 322 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000 She's sleeping, I think. 323 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000 Oh, it's too bad.

I want you to know that I, eh, what happened in Toledo yesterday. 333 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000 You don't have to explain. I understand. 334 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,000 You understand? But you didn't say anything to Dr. Van Ture? 335 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000 Well, why should I? It's none of my business. 336 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000 None of my... none of your business? 337 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Of course.

You don't look like one, and that trick of refusing an immediate shot, well, I've got to hand it to you. 340 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000 You fooled me completely, and using your wife's symptoms. Very clever. 341 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000 I don't doubt you can get a supply whenever you need it with that routine. 342 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Oh, no, no, no, no, I assure you. 343 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000 Oh, please, don't bother to lie to me. 344 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000 I guess I ought to thank you for teaching me that trick. 345 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000 It won't work again on this baby, believe me. 346 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000 And now if you'll excuse me, Mr. Baker, or Mr. Wentworth, I'm heading for a spot of handball. 347 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000 Oh, wait, eh... 348 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Yes? 349 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000 No hard feelings? 350 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000 No, no, of course not. 351 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Look, Doctor, if you really mean that about no hard feelings, and if you haven't got a partner, 352 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000 well, I... I play a pretty good game. 353 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Now, that's what I call a switch, anyway. 354 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:24,000 All right, hop in. 355 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000 An addict. He took me for an addict. 356 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Working on any dodge I could to get a supply of dope. 357 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Yes, but later when he heard of Louisa's death, he'd remember. 358 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,000 I had no idea what I was going to do. I only knew that I couldn't let him go. 359 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000 He drove me over to the athletic club. He wasn't a member, but he held a courtesy card from the Toledo club, 360 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000 and he signed me in as his guest, laughing as James Wentworth. 361 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000 He was a fast man on the court, younger too. 362 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000 I'd have had a hard time keeping up with him in any circumstances, but as it was, he beat me easily. 363 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000 I could think of only one thing. That he was dangerous. 364 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Dangerous, and I had to get rid of him somehow. 365 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000 That's a nice backhand you've got there, Baker. 366 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Wish I could handle those tough ones half as well. 367 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Never mind the compliments, Doc. They'll just remember the final score and be satisfied. 368 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000 Hey, how about a sweat out? They've got a good steam room here. 369 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Sounds good to me. 370 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000 Here, this way then.
