MURDERED!... But his eyes lived to condemn his killer...! (taglines)
Dialogue
Captain Drury: Did you know that somebody stole Hayden's eyes just after Doc Welles removed them from the body?
Dave Stuart: No!
Captain Drury: They later turned up at the hospital, rather mysteriously. It's my opinion that Tanya took them... and that Bittaker got them from her and returned them.
Dave Stuart: But WHY?
Captain Drury: As long as you're blind, you remain dependent upon Tanya... and I think she rather likes it that way. She knows that if you regain your sight, she'll lose you to Miss Hayden. So she tried to prevent the operation, but Bittaker intervened and returned the eyes. He was afraid she might get into trouble, so he did it anonymously.
Dave Stuart: I don't believe it!
Captain Drury: It's a nice theory though, isn't it? [looks closely at the blind man's dark glasses] Well, you'll be seeing me.
