INT. UPPER HALL  MED. SHOT  NIGHT
Outside door to Lucy's room, as Sir James says good night
to Burke in f.g., while Hibbs fastens the sword to the door
over the keyhole. Hibbs turns to Burke and they exit
together toward Hibbs' room.
 
202
INT. UPPER HALL  MED. SHOT  NIGHT
At door to Hibbs' room, as Burke and Hibbs come in. Hibbs
opens the door and turns to say good night. Burke indicates
that he would like to talk to him. Hibbs says "Come in,"
and they exit to Hibbs' room.
 
203
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  FULL SHOT  NIGHT
The room is dark as Hibbs and Burke come in. There is a
shaft of moonlight through a window upon the bed. Hibbs
switches on the electric light. They go over and sit on the
bed.
 
204
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  NIGHT  CLOSE SHOT
The two men as they sit on the bed. Burke says to him:
 
TITLE:
 
   "Now about you and Miss Lucy's
   brother, Harry--"
 
BACK TO SCENE: Hibbs turns sharply, staring at Burke. Burke
goes on regardless:

TITLE:
 
    "You didn't like each other
   very much did you?"
 
BACK TO SCENE: Hibbs is about to resent this question, but
there is a force in Burke's direct gaze that he cannot
resist. So, after a moment, he answers:
 
TITLE:
 
   "He objected to my caring for Lucy.
   He thought I wasn't good enough
   for her--"
 
             CUT FROM TITLE TO:

207

Hibbs, unable to stand unflinching the direct gaze, looks
away, looks down at his wristwatch.

BACK TO SCENE: He looks up again at Burke.
 
208
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  NIGHT  LARGE CLOSE UP
Burke, with eyes lighted so that they seem to dart fire.
The eyes start now to revolve, slowly.
 
             FADE OUT

209
FADE IN
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  CLOSE SHOT  NIGHT
The electric light is out. Burke is lying on the bed in the
shaft of moonlight, asleep. He stirs a little, turns over,
into the shadow. A dim figure back to the camera, tips in,
leaning over the bed. Burke turns back again into the light.
The figure withdraws. Burke sits up, suddenly staring off
scene, whips up a pistol from the bed and fires out of
scene. (Burke wears pajama jacket. Otherwise, he is
completely dressed.)
 
210
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  MED. SHOT  NIGHT
A dim figure back to camera, disappearing through the open
door.
 
211
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  MED. SHOT  NIGHT
At bed, as Burke leaps to his feet, pistol in hand, and
rushes out of scene.
 
212
INT. UPPER HALL  SEMI FULL SHOT  NIGHT
The hall is empty. Burke, rushing out from Hibbs' room,
pistol in hand, stops, looking around. The door to Sir
James' room is suddenly thrown open and Sir James rushes
out, demanding: "What is it? What's the matter?" Burke goes
quickly down to him.
 
213
INT. UPPER HALL  CLOSE SHOT  NIGHT
Sir James, as Burke comes in. Sir James demanding "What
happened?" Sir James is in a bathrobe, which he now ties
around him, as though he had been suddenly awakened and had
slipped it on very hurriedly before rushing out. Burke
tells him about something that came into the room, where he
was sleeping. Sir James is aghast. Burke to calm him, says:
 
TITLE:
 
   "Probably my imagination,
   Sir James. Go back to bed."
 
BACK TO SCENE: Burke opens the door to Sir James and ushers
Sir James in. He closes the door, turns, with pistol ready,
and exits from scene, down the hall.
 
214
INT. UPPER HALL  MED. SHOT  NIGHT
Burke, coming in, looking at the floor, suddenly kneels to
the floor.
 
215
INT. UPPER HALL  CLOSE UP  NIGHT
Burke, kneeling on floor, inspecting the floor.

INSERT:
 
   Some drops of blood on floor.
 
BACK TO SCENE: Burke puts his finger in one of the drops
and holds it up. Fresh blood. He thinks a moment, then
starts to rise.
 
216
INT. UPPER HALL  (NIGHT)  MED. SHOT
Burke, rising, exits through the open door back to Hibbs'
room.
 
217
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  (NIGHT)  FULL SHOT
Burke, coming in from hall, switches on the light. It is
now seen that he has Hibbs in a hypnotic trance, lying
covered by a blanket on a couch in a corner. Burke goes
over, looks at Hibbs a moment, then straightens out the bed
that he had himself occupied, takes off his pajama jacket
and put on his coat. Then he steps over, speaks to Hibbs.
Hibbs rises and goes over to the bed and sits on it, just
as he was sitting before the last fade out. Burke sits
down beside him.
 
218
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  (NIGHT)  CLOSE SHOT
Burke and Hibbs are on the bed as Burke looks at him with
piercing eyes. Hibbs is staring straight ahead of him. Now
Burke speaks to him sharply. Hibbs starts, and a
transformation takes place. He comes out of the hypnotic
trance, realizes his surroundings, looks at Burke and says:
 
TITLE:
 
   "I must have fallen asleep."
 
BACK TO SCENE: Burke nods "yes" and then gets over to him
that he'd better be getting to bed. Saying this Burke rises.
 
219
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  (NIGHT)  SEMI FULL SHOT
Burke, rising, says good night and goes out the door. Hibbs,
still a little dazed, rubs his eyes, gets up and goes over
to a dresser.
 
220
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  (NIGHT)  CLOSE UP
Hibbs at the dresser. He stands there for a moment thinking.
He stifles a yawn. Then he looks at his wristwatch.
 
INSERT:
 
   CU wristwatch   Time: 2:30
 
BACK TO SCENE: Hibbs is puzzled. He must have slept hours.
That's queer. He stands thinking a moment, then dismisses
the problem with a shrug and reaches into a drawer of the
dresser and gets out a photograph. He looks at it.
