Chapter 19
Again, neither of us wanted to describe the dream to Frank. With the growing awareness that the C's were communicating in code, that there were things that Frank could not know for some reason, we were being ever more careful what we did talk about in front of Frank. So Ark asked his questions about it in a veiled manner.
The "odd one out." The dream had been about me, and my name was Sarah, and Ark had added his presence to the 300 Seraphim, becoming my husband, which had resulted in the "defeat," or displacement of the Elohim. I knew that the message was that Frank was the "Odd man out," and I was beginning to get a glimmer about the "Third Man Theme."
The Third Man is a classic film noir. The action is set in Vienna's bombed out buildings and underground sewers. Post-war Austria was politically divided into different sectors controlled by the U.S., England, France and Russia. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), an American author, arrives in Vienna where he has been promised work by his old school friend Jay Wiley (Orson Welles). Upon his arrival, Martins discovers that Lime has been killed in a suspicious car accident, and that his funeral is taking place immediately. At the graveside, Martins meets a Major Calloway (Trevor Howard) and an actress, Anna Schmidt (Alida Valli), who is weeping copiously. When Calloway tells Martins that the late Alvin Wiley was nothing more or less than a thief and a murderer, the loyal Martins is at first outraged. Gradually, he not only discovers that Calloway was right, but also that Lime faked his own death and is still very much alive (he was the mysterious "third man" at the scene of the fatal accident). Calloway wants help from either Anna or Holly to flush out Lime. Blindly loyal, Anna refuses. Martins does likewise, until Calloway shows him the tragic results of Lime's black-market in diluted penicillin. Arranging a rendezvous with Lime at the huge Ferris wheel in the centre of Vienna, Holly listens in barely concealed disgust as Lime casually dismisses his heinous crimes. Feeling particularly brazen, Lime offers not to kill Holly if the latter will go into business with him. Thus the stage is set for the famous climactic confrontation in the sewers of Vienna - and the even more famous final shot of The Third Man, in which Martins pays emotionally for doing the right thing. It's another of those bizarre things that the plot of this movie so accurately represented our real life dynamics right down to my loyalty to Frank, and Ark's arrival on the scene and his initial refusal to "see" what Frank was really doing at the deepest levels. Even though Ark and I were now at the point where we KNEW that something was seriously amiss with Frank, we continued to want to try to find ways to help him adjust to the fact that he was valued and accepted, but that he was not going to be allowed to willfully manipulate either of us, and control games were not going to be tolerated. Frank had issues - deep ones - and we knew it. I had always known it. But now we were coming to the realization that the only one who could "fix" Frank was Frank. We tried to approach the problem in terms of behavior modification. On all the occasions when I would have been inclined to let rudeness pass, or to "make nice" when Frank was clearly in the wrong, to agree for the sake of peace even when I knew he was twisting things, Ark was undertaking the process of letting him know when he was rude and behaving unacceptably, as well as clearly pointing out the fallacies in his logic. Frank had been accustomed to dazzling everyone with his fine voice and big words. Frank used words as others use algebraic signs. He was meticulous and precise, sculpting the emotions of the listener with finely tuned reverberations of pain and love and fear.
