Alfred Hitchcock Presents S1E1
"Revenge"
Alfred Hitchcock himself gives an intro before the start of every episode, much like Rod Serling does in The Twilight Zone. Nothing special much but he yes, he basically uh idk PRESENTS the episode.
Opening up in the lovely town is a husband and wife in a trailer park. Husband wakes up to his alarm he goes to his wife sleeping in another bed and wakes her up. At the breakfast table, he expresses a little concern for leaving his stay at home wife all alone when he goes out of town for work. She assures him that she is well acquainted with the lovely neighborhood around here and she'll find ways to keep her occupied.
He then steps out of the house real quick but not without chatting with a neighbor asking to check in on the wife. Keep her company and all that jazz. More confident that before, he drives off.
The neighbor makes her way to get acquainted with the wife and has a drink with her. She tells her she was once a dancer classically trained. On her way out, she goes to sunbathe and neighbor bids her farewell.
The husband comes back home with arms full of groceries but he has trouble getting in the door but crap oh crap something is burning in the oven. He finds his wife incapacitated on the floor. As he lays her down on the bed, he sees her hand clutching a flower in her left hand.
Once she comes to, in an almost catatonic state all she can state at the moment is "He killed me." and few other non sensical things but the gist of it was that a man claiming to be a salesman violently assaulted her. Oh, and he killed her. She totally wanted to make sure he heard that again.
A police starts to question everyone and comes to the conclusion that the assault took place in the very short time span between the neighbor left the house and husband coming home. No more than a few minutes. And the poor cake is burnt to a crisp!
The doctor arrives and surmises that her condition isn't all that severe. He gave her a shot to restore her back to normality.
Around night time, he goes all up in her grill and says that whenever he finds this perpetrator he'll kill 'em. In her still catatonic state she's like "Yes. Yes."
He comes up with a fine idea. She claims that she would be able to remember his face if she were to see him on the street so they go for a ride. As they are driving, she sees a man walk from behind but she is adamant that THAT is the guy.
After parking the car, he is on the prowl for the fellow that dared to assault his wife. With a wrench in hand, he enters the hotel he entered. He manages to get in the same elevator and follows him out. He intrudes in his room and bludgens the dude to death with no words spoken in the interaction. He swiftly leaves the hotel otherwise acting normal and not drawing attention to himself that he just killed a man.
Back in the car ride, he decides to take them to a hotel. Not THAT hotel obviously but a different one. No shit.
While they are driving, she perks up again and says "There he is!" and he just looks dead ass shook and it slowly has set in him that she is not of sound mind. She is is still suffering from a form of PTSD. Well, fuck.
