Alfred Hitchcock s06e25 Museum Piece Movie Subtitles

00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:25,Good evening.

00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,This object, which looks like a
gentleman who innocently wandered into a

00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:35,Cross bandaging class, is a mummy.

00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:42,This particular one is an Egyptian
pharaoh and was buried with all his

00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,wives, a rather extreme example of
togetherness.

00:00:46,420 --> 00:00:51,A few of his more progressive colleagues
subscribe to this custom.

00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,but with a difference.

00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,They buried their wives first, promising
to follow at their earliest

00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,convenience.

00:01:01,780 --> 00:01:07,Appropriately enough, the title of
tonight's theatre piece is Museum Piece.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,First, however, we have an item with no
title, but perhaps after watching it,

00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:16,you can think of a name to call it.

00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,As near as we can tell, this skull
belonged to a civilization here in the

00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:37,southwest that we call Proto Pueblo.

00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,Now, one of its marks, as you see, is a
flattening of the head at the rear

00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,caused by strapping the baby onto a
cradle board before the skull was

00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:48,calcified.

00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,Let's compare him with a modern male
Caucasian.

00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:57,You see, his head is not flattened in
the back at all.

00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,Now, this is essentially...

00:02:00,670 --> 00:02:03,A present -day American, very much like
you and I.

00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:06,Grim thought, isn't it?

00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:09,Well, that concludes the tour, ladies
and gentlemen.

00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,It's about time to close anyway.

00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:16,You're welcome.

00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:21,Thank you very much. Do come again.
We're getting in new things all the

00:02:21,710 --> 00:02:22,Good day.

00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:26,Good day. Thank you for coming.

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,Don't let me keep you. Not at all.

00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,I'll be leaving in a minute. Take your
time.

00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:00,These knives fascinate me.

00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,Obsidian, aren't they? That's right.
Purely utilitarian. For skinning hides,

00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:07,fleshing hides, so on, that kind of
thing.

00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,But made by a totally different man.

00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:12,This man was down -to -earth, practical.

00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:17,But this fellow was mentally an artist.

00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:20,But the two men are about a thousand
years apart in time.

00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:22,Makes no difference.

00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,Men haven't changed.

00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:31,In my field, we try to diagnose the
psyche of ancient man from his

00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:36,You see, the thing you fellows overlook
in your collecting is the internal

00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,chemistry of the men who made these
things.

00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,What is your field, Mr... Clovis, Newton
B. Clovis. I'm an archaeopsychologist.

00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,Dear me.

00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:52,Even a man's bones have something to
say.

00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:54,What, for instance?

00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:56,Well, from the shape of his skull.

00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,Rather intelligent man.

00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,Athletic at one time.

00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,Athletic? A skier.

00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:05,Break in the leg just above the ankle.

00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,Typical ski injury.

00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:10,You too?

00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:11,Double spiral fracture.

00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,Made in my leg an inch and a half
shorter.

00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,Ah, but this man was a football player.

00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,Just a guess, of course.

00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,You mean you knew him?

00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:23,Yes, I did.

00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:24,Very well.

00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,Died not too old.

00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:30,Many years ago?

00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:31,Many years ago.

00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,Modern medicine might have saved him.

00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,No.

00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:39,No medicine would have saved this man.

00:04:42,180 --> 00:04:45,Mr. Clovis, how would you like to join
me in a drink before dinner?

00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:47,Delighted.

00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,After you.

00:04:57,770 --> 00:05:02,You say you can diagnose ancient man
from his possessions, Mr. Clovis. How

00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:02,modern man?

00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:03,Who would that be?

00:05:04,190 --> 00:05:06,The man all these things belong to.

00:05:06,810 --> 00:05:09,There's a bucket more of these in this
pitcher. Cheers.

00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:10,Yes.

00:05:11,330 --> 00:05:13,Falco Mexicanus, prairie falcon.

00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:16,He tried to gentle him. Kept him in a
cage.

00:05:16,930 --> 00:05:19,Wouldn't do. Some things you can't keep
in a cage.

00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:22,Everything in this room was his.

00:05:22,450 --> 00:05:23,Just about.

00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:26,Watch out.

00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,Merit badges.

00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:29,Over 30 of them.

00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:33,Bird's nest.

00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,But no eggs.

00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,He didn't believe in collecting eggs.

00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,No heart for it. He could take the nest
after the little ones were gone.

00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:52,Fog.

00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,Urocyan canario argentius. Gray fog.

00:05:57,290 --> 00:05:59,I call her Cersei. Why Cersei?

00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:02,You're supposed to divine these things,
aren't you? Drink up.

00:06:04,050 --> 00:06:05,Yes, Cersei.

00:06:05,390 --> 00:06:06,Cersei the Temptress.

00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:09,What do you make of the man?

00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,Gentle.

00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:14,Probably full of idealism.

00:06:14,890 --> 00:06:16,Obviously loves the outdoors.

00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:19,Compassionate. Bravo.

00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:23,You were close to him?

00:06:23,690 --> 00:06:26,Yes. He was my son.

00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:29,Was?

00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,That's where Cersei comes in.

00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:33,Cersei the Temptress.

00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:38,I call her Cersei because she led him to
his doom.

00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:43,Worked her wiles on him, brazenly let
him track her. Almost as if she knew

00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,lay in wait for him.

00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:49,He never hunted for sport, but once in a
while he collected an animal.

00:06:50,260 --> 00:06:53,In this case, he had his heart set on
Cersei.

00:06:55,630 --> 00:06:57,She'd been raiding hen houses in the
neighborhood.

00:06:58,470 --> 00:07:02,Sooner or later, some farmer would trap
her or shoot her anyway, so Ben decided

00:07:02,670 --> 00:07:04,to take her for his collection.

00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:08,He spent several days and nights
learning her habits.

00:07:10,350 --> 00:07:14,He discovered her latest port of call
was an old barn just over the property

00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:15,line.

00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:21,He'd invented a foolproof gadget for
night shooting, a spotlight mounted on

00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:22,.22 in such a way...

00:07:22,940 --> 00:07:26,that his shot would strike the exact
center of the circle of light.

00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:45,What was that?

00:07:46,820 --> 00:07:48,Rice. It's your father.

00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,Don't be silly. You know he's at a lodge
meeting.

00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,What do you think you're doing here?

00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,I'm sorry, I didn't... Hollister!

00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:31,Make your boy Hollister.

00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,I didn't know anybody else was around
here. You saw the sign outside.

00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,Yeah, but I didn't think your father
would mind. You're a liar.

00:08:38,780 --> 00:08:40,Stealing pigeons, that's what he's up
to.

00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,I wasn't stealing anything. All I wanted
was... You're a liar.

00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,I'm sorry, Tim.

00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:51,If you'll excuse me.

00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,You're a coward, too.

00:08:57,260 --> 00:09:00,If you want to step outside, I'd be very
happy to soak your head in the watering

00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,trough.

00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:03,That's not a bad deal, Tim.

00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,I'd be giving away 15 pounds.

00:09:28,940 --> 00:09:29,Tim! Murderer!

00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:32,Murderer!

00:09:35,460 --> 00:09:42,You don't have to

00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,explain my duties to me, Mr. Hollister.
They're spelled out very clearly in the

00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:47,oath of office the district attorney
takes.

00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,It wouldn't hurt you to look it over
once in a while, Mr. Henshaw.

00:09:51,640 -->...
