:26:01
is supervised by enemies,
and remains uncared for.
:26:05
The board at the hospital
has all but forgotten Zelig.
:26:10
Only Dr. Fletcher continues
to fight for his custody.
:26:13
The court turns
her final appeal down.
:26:17
Throughout her valiant
legal battle...
:26:19
she is frequently in the company
of her attorney Charles Koslow.
:26:23
He falls in love with her...
:26:25
and presses
for her hand in marriage.
:26:29
She is ambivalent.
:26:30
Reluctantly,
she is beginning to abandon...
:26:33
all hope of recovering
Leonard Zelig.
:26:36
That summer,
Geist has booked them in Spain.
:26:41
It is the last leg
of a European tour...
:26:44
that has been wildly successful.
:26:46
Relations between Martin Geist
and Ruth Zelig...
:26:49
have grown strained.
:26:51
They have become bored
with one another...
:26:54
and quarrel frequently.
:26:56
The situation grows worse
when she meets Luis Martinez...
:26:59
a mediocre
and cowardly bullfighter...
:27:03
with whom she falls in love.
:27:06
Though he wishes
to impress Ruth Zelig...
:27:09
Martinez displays
his usual panic in the arena.
:27:12
Good fortune is
with him, however...
:27:15
as the bull gives himself
a brain concussion.
:27:17
Martinez takes credit
for the kill...
:27:19
and cutting off
the bull's ear...
:27:22
presents it to his lover
with great bravado.
:27:25
That evening,
in a jealous rage...
:27:27
Martin Geist returns
to his hotel room...
:27:30
and confronts Ruth Zelig.
:27:32
He demands that she
give him the ear.
:27:35
She refuses.
:27:36
Geist insists upon
possession of the ear.
:27:39
They quarrel furiously,
and Martinez is discovered...
:27:42
hiding in the closet.
:27:44
Geist pulls a revolver
and shoots him.
:27:46
He turns the gun on Zelig's
half sister and kills her.
:27:50
Then he takes his own life.
:27:52
In an orgy
of jealous violence...
:27:55
Leonard Zelig's life
is turned upside down.
