District Attorney So now you believe both murders were committed by the same man, eh?
Mike Yes, I do.
District Attorney Um... maybe you're right. As you pointed out, there are certain similarities between the two crimes. But you missed one. Perhaps the most important. Both murders were discovered by the same man - you.
Mike What are you driving at?
District Attorney Tell me, has there ever been any insanity in your family?
Mike Listen, I'm as sane as you are. And if you think I had anything to do with it, you're crazy.

[suddenly grabs her arm]
Jane No. Who?
[frightened]
The Stranger Don't you know? The people who lock you up.

The Stranger How do I know I can trust you?
Jane Well, they... they, they wouldn't send a woman, would they?
[nervously]
The Stranger No. No, they... they wouldn't send a woman. The only person who ever was kind to me was a woman. She's dead now.
[laughs; laughs, then continues dispassionately]
Jane Oh... Why? Why do they want to lock you up?
The Stranger Oh, so they can hurt me. They... they put you in a shirt with, uh... long sleeves and... they pour ice water on you.
