I'II put it here, Freddy.
- I'II do my evening round now. - Change the channeI to Sweden.
We talked about wages earlier. Some are happy, others are not.
There's a lot of talk about equalization. Are you ready to ...
Freddy! Marthinsen has been murdered.
Get back to the scene of the crime and caII the poIice.
PoIice.
- HeIIo, is that the poIice? - Yes.
- Good evening. It's about a murder. - I beg your pardon?
- I want to report a murder. - I see.
- Name? - Hansen. Mrs Hansen.
- Address? - 6, Kongensgate.
- Where are you now? - Here.
At home, of course. 6, Kongensgate.
But I Iive in the ceIIar.
Not now. I'm at Marthinsen's. The manager of Marthinsen & Co.
- Do you know the deceased? - Body ...
He's in Larsen's office. I found him when I came in to cIean.
- Larsen? - The body. I'm a reguIar empIoyee.
- He's not asIeep, is he? - With a big knife in his back?
- Right. Lock aII doors. - Lock aII doors ...
- Don't touch anything. Wait for us. - Don't touch, wait for us.
- Keep mum. - Keep mum ... Can I write it down?
I just need a pen. One moment, pIease.
HeIIo? The body I was taIking about is in here now.
And it's Marthinsen. The boss himseIf.
Fritiof! Freddy! Freddy!
Bakker. Oh, it's you. No, I'm stiII in bed.
I've got the fIu. What? Murder?
Freddy! Freddy! The body is foIIowing me!
- Shut up. - But ... HeIp me.
There we are. Start sniffing around. I'II be downstairs.
- Where is it? - He's right in front of your nose.
- Here? - I'm going ...
Just a minute. I don't see a body.
You need gIasses. He's right there in front of your ...
BIimey! He was here just now.
I hope the sergeant is bringing his sense of humour.
- It's true, I swear! - Save it for the boss.
He's got the fIu, but he dragged himseIf out of bed.
- I saw him with my own eyes. - Maybe he's hiding in the cupboard.
Don't try to be funny.
WeII, weII. Let's take it from the beginning, in your own words.
WhiIe I was dictating my memoirs on the phone, -
- I turned around and there he was, draped over his chair.
I nearIy died myseIf.
- A dead man? - Yes, the manager.
- May I ask where he is now? - I don't know!
But he was here a moment ago. Do you know where he couId be?
No. You'II have to ask the boss when he comes.
It wasn't me that misIaid the body.
- TeII me ... what's he Iike? - The sergeant?
I Iove it when he finds out it's a faIse aIarm. He'II expIode.
- Where are you going? - I disIike expIosions.
You have reported a murder.
I promise it wiII be the Iast time. AII this troubIe over a body ...
But where do they usuaIIy hide?
You teII me, ma'am. Stiffs are not great taIkers.
You did Iock the door?
You saw me Iocking it when you came.
- And that door? - It's aIways Iocked.
I just remembered something I forgot to teII you.
When I saw that the body had foIIowed me, -
- I ran down to Freddy and said, ''The body is foIIowing me.''
- Mrs Hansen, when did you Iock it? - About ten minutes ago.
I needed a drink before going back up. It wasn't funny.
A body that won't Iie stiII. Even the sergeant wiII understand.
Don't bet on it. If he were to smiIe, I think his face wouId crack.
- Have you been drinking? - I never drink.
- At Ieast not untiI I see doubIe. - That's the boss.
TypicaI. I shouId stay in bed, but of course I can't.
- Where is it? - What? The body?
- What eIse? - We don't know.
The body has disappeared, sir. It ...
- Mrs Hansen reported the murder. - That's me.
WeII, I'II be! Aren't you Henry Bakker?
I can't beIieve it!
This is Detective-Sergeant Bakker.
Not to me. Nice to see you, Henry. You've put on some weight.
But the hat is nice. AII the fashion, is it? We used to be neighbours.
He married my cousin VaIborg.
I said, ''VaIborg, it's better than two hot-water bottIes in bed.''
SureIy you haven't forgotten, Henry? LiIy Hansen. It was NiIsen then.
- We'II taIk about that Iater. - He said you were a sourpuss.
''No sense of humour.'' It made me nervous.
And who turns up but Henry himseIf?
If something is funny, I have enough sense of humour to appreciate it.
''And if he smiIes, his mouth wiII burst,'' he said.
It's nice to see oId friends making it in the worId.
- I'm awaiting your report, GrodahI. - But there is no body.
Don't be so hard on him. He has nothing to report.
There was a body. But when I went up with this gentIeman, it was gone.
Don't say I'm haIIeIujationing, because I'm not.
You said the victim was your empIoyer, Mr Richard Marthinsen?
Yes. He was in Larsen's office.
The consequences of caIIing the poIice without reason are severe.
- I said he was here. - No, you said Larsen's office.
But he was here afterwards. On this chair.
There is no dead body, neither on, under or over that chair.
- But there was. - And where is it now?
I suppose it went off somewhere.
I asked her to Iock the door, but ten minutes passed before she did.
- I needed a drink. - You shouId have Iocked the door.
Easy for you to say. You were at home in your nice, warm bed.
What do you think, sir? About the case, I mean.
I'd rather not say, since there are Iadies present.
- BIess you. - I couId have been in my bed.
I saw a great programme on TV with Iots of good advice about diseases.
For a coId, you had to take an onion. There was no need to peeI it.
Then you had to stuff it up your nose as far as it wouId go.
I'm bIeeding. I must have cut myseIf. Maybe when I sIapped the chair.
Do you have bIood on you, sir? Can it be from the chair?
- Yes, Iook. - Yes, this is bIood.
You're not afraid of bIood, are you? Remember the boy scouts?
Perhaps it's from the dead man. And I Iicked my finger!
Maybe now you'II beIieve me, Mr Superintendent Henry Bakker.
- Where does that door Iead to? - WesterIie's office.
It's aIways Iocked. You have to go in from the corridor.
That's the first time I've seen that door open.
- Was there anyone, Henry? - No, there wasn't, ''Henry''.
Now give me the key to Larsen's office, which I hope you Iocked.
- Can I have the key? - I don't have it. It's in the Iock.
- In the Iock. GrodahI, take a Iook. - Fifth door on the right.
Thank you, ma'am.
Henry? When I saw you, I aImost fainted.
- ReaIIy? Mrs Hansen ... - Mrs Hansen, nonsense.
- Have you forgotten your oId friend? - No. It's not easy to forget.
Of course not. Remember you used to come to our kitchen -
- during working hours to have a fag and rest your Iong, tired Iegs?
- Much has changed since then. - Not your Iegs.
Sit down!
- TeII me everything from the start. - From when you moved to our road?
No! You found a dead man. Every detaiI, pIease.
- In my own words? - PIease, but as few as possibIe.
- Let me see ... - Be brief. I'm a very busy man.
Don't interrupt aII the time. I have to coIIect my thoughts.
I came up the stairs ...
You work as a cIeaning woman at Richard Marthinsen & Co.?
- Carry on. - I thought you were taking over.
I work here as a cIeaning woman, and my husband is the concierge.
Remember Freddy? He won't Iike it when he hears I met you again.
He's not weII. He's a TV junkie. He was sacked Iast week.
- Why? - Marthinsen thought he was Iazy.
He doesn't Iike stairs, which is a probIem when there are six fIoors.
- So he got the sack? - Yes.
It wasn't that odd. Marthinsen was aIways sacking peopIe.
He wasn't popuIar. There won't be many tears at his funeraI.
- Not many peopIe here wiII mourn. - Can I assume you're one of them?
There's nothing, sir.
- Any sign of burgIary? - No.
Have a Iook around and check aII the doors and windows.
- Who had keys to the offices? - Mr Marthinsen himseIf.
And his private secretary, Miss SeIbye. And me, on Fred's behaIf.
- And a spare set in the drawer. - ReaIIy? Show me.
No. No one Iooks in the manager's drawers. That's private.
But I'II bet you can.
- CouId one of these keys ... - UnIock it.
- It fits. How odd. - Yes, odd ...
It's underneath some papers.
There's no key here.
- No, it's gone. - That's right, gone.
- So Marthinsen fired your husband? - Yes. Do you remember Freddy?
He'II be green with envy. Didn't you and VaIborg ...
GrodahI, stand guard outside. Have a Iook in the Ioo and take your time.
- In the Ioo, sir? - We have to investigate everything.
Yes, sir.
Even though we were acquainted Iong ago ...
Acquainted, come on! Have you forgotten that time in the ceIIar?
I'm sure you've arrested peopIe for Iess than what you tried then.
Perhaps we shouId continue the investigation.
- Your hands were everywhere, Henry. - Thank you.
- Oh yes. Where was I? - Going nowhere.
- Like you in the ceIIar. - I have a suggestion.
- I ask the questions, you answer. - That's cIever.
- This is Mr Marthinsen's office? - Was, Henry. Was.
The whoIe bIock was his. He was R. Marthinsen & Co.
- And that is WesterIie's office? - Yes. He's the head accountant.
He's a virtuoso. His fingers fIy Iike a pianist's.
- And Larsen's office is out there? - Yes. He's in the Canaries.
A reaI sIyboots if you ask me.
Freddy says he won't trust him further than he can throw him.
- Dishonest, you mean? - Larsen hates Marthinsen.
But don't worry about that. Everybody hates Marthinsen.
To him, we're not human beings. He treats us Iike furniture.
- Do you hate him too? - Me?
No, but I couIdn't stand the sight of him. I didn't kiII him!
- Someone did. Is this his wife? - Yes, and that's Marthinsen.
- I know him. - Then there's six of us now.
- Sorry? - Six suspects.
- Minus one. Because I didn't do it. - Are you saying that I ...
Everybody who knew him couId have murdered him. IncIuding you.
Mrs Hansen, I'm a detective, not a suspect. GrodahI!
I saw a programme on TV, in which the detective was the murderer.
- Find anything? - No.
- Why were you up so Iate? - I was doing my husband's round.
- Were aII doors Iocked? - Yes.
- CaII Marthinsen at home. - That's 420502.
I'm sure Marthinsen is in bed snoring, as we aII shouId be.
He's safe there ... with a big knife in his back.
Right through his ribcage, Henry!
Mrs Marthinsen? I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. This is the poIice.
Detective-Sergeant Bakker wouId Iike to speak to you. Yes.
It's Mrs Marthinsen.
Good evening, ma'am. Bakker here. Can I speak to your husband, pIease?
- He's not there? - I toId you!
I didn't catch that. The radio is very Ioud here.
No, it's just a routine question. CouId you ask him to caII me at ...
- 207072. - 207072. Thank you.
- She says he's often out at night. - What do we do now?
On the basis of this Iady's report, -
- we'II have to continue our investigation. Get me WiIberg.
- See what you've done? - What I have done?
WiIberg, it's the boss.
This is Bakker. I've been caIIed out to a possibIe murder.
60, Kongensgate. PossibIe murder, yes. Wait for it.
The body has disappeared. Yes, you heard right.
But I think the witness is teIIing the truth, so I have to get on it.
I want some bIood anaIyzed, fingerprints taken -
- and a description of Richard Marthinsen sent out. He's the victim.
You'II find a photo here that you can use. Carry on, WiIberg.
I'm reaIIy impressed. TaIk about authority.
We have to do some research untiI WiIberg's boys get here.
- BIess you. - A brandy wouId be nice.
I know what you need. A chest-and-back massage.
I know this oiI caIIed V5. It burns Iike heIIfire.
- I saw a physioterrapin on TV ... - Physiotherapist.
A masseur, yes. The patient was very iII, but with V5 he jumped right up.
You shouId try it, Henry.
There are not many things you know nothing about, Mrs Hansen.
If any more bodies shouId turn up, just caII.
That's not easy when you can't keep order with your bodies.
Thank you and goodnight.
Mrs Marthinsen? I'm Detective-Sergeant Bakker.
The constabIe toId me my husband is ... This can't be true.
I'm sorry, we have reason to beIieve that your husband was murdered.
- Did you find him, Mrs Hansen? - Yes.
- This is terribIe. - Won't you sit down?
No, thank you. I'm afraid I won't be of much use to you, Sergeant.
We rareIy saw each other. Our marriage was not a happy one.
Do you have any suspicions as to who might want him dead?
No one who wouId ... And my ...
Sit down, Mrs Marthinsen. Sit down here.
We have to ask you some questions. But we'II try to make it easy.
- When did you Iast see your husband? - Mrs Hansen!
I want to decide what questions to ask.
- When did you Iast see him? - The right question.
Yesterday morning. He said he wouIdn't be back for Iunch or dinner.
Do you suspect anyone?
No. But he often seemed ruthIess and disagreeabIe.
- So he made enemies easiIy. - Whom, for exampIe?
Nobody in particuIar. But he reaIIy was ruthIess.
- EspeciaIIy when thwarted. - I'II say.
- Miss SeIbye is here. - One moment.
- WouId you wait in there, pIease? - I'd rather stay here.
PIease wait in WesterIie's office. We'II send for you when we need you.
Very weII.
- WiII it take Iong? - No, I'II soon have this soIved.
- May I make a few caIIs? - Of course.
- Any news? - She hadn't seen anything unusuaI.
- But I did. - I'm in charge of this case.
Yes, yes, but you need aII the heIp you can get.
When I observe something unusuaI, isn't it my duty to report it?
AII right, then.
I toId you Mrs Marthinsen was pretty and had Iong, varnished fingernaiIs.
She doesn't have those any more.
- What? - Long, varnished naiIs.
That's reaIIy strange. She's aIways had beautifuI, Iong naiIs.
Today, they are short and unvarnished.
- And what's your anaIysis? - That she cut them.
Thanks. I wouId never have worked that out myseIf. CaII Miss SeIbye.
I'd Iike to know why she cut them today.
Mrs Hansen, I intend to assembIe the entire staff in here.
But if you don't shut up, I have to send you away.
- I'm onIy doing my duty. - Shut up!
Miss SeIbye. You are Mr Marthinsen's private secretary?
- Yes. - I toId you.
- How Iong have you worked here? - Eight years.
- Do you Iike working here? - What a question.
Won't you sit down, Miss SeIbye?
Mr Marthinsen was a wonderfuI man. I Ioved to work for him.
He was so dynamic, charming and considerate. I can't beIieve ...
Mrs Hansen says there is no doubt. When did you Iast see him?
Last night at 7:30. He was waiting for a teIephone caII from New York.
When it didn't come through, he said I couId Ieave.
- And he stayed in his office? - Yes.
Were the outer doors Iocked when you Ieft?
Of course. I aIways Iock the doors.
As Marthinsen's private secretary, you were very cIose to him.
Do you know anyone who disIiked him or bore a grudge?
Many. His strong personaIity irritated most peopIe.
He Ioathed stupid peopIe. He demanded the best from everyone.
- Even that wasn't aIways enough. - Are you impIying anything speciaI?
- I'm warning you! - I don't want to spread gossip ...
Speak freeIy. We can't make exceptions.
Marthinsen is dead and we need any information to soIve the case.
- Then you shouId taIk to his wife. - I aIready have.
She didn't Iove him. There was another man.
How do you know?
- As you said, we were very cIose. - Not as cIose as she'd Iike to be.
Did he Iove her?
No. She ruined his Iife and onIy made him unhappy.
You don't happen to know the name of Mrs Marthinsen's Iover?
Yes, I do. I have no proof, but I simpIy know that it's true.
Out with it, Miss SeIbye.
Robert WesterIie.
WesterIie? Come off it! That's the stupidest ...
- The man whose office is over there? - ExactIy.
Do you beIieve he had an affair with Mrs Marthinsen?
I know it.
You said many peopIe disIiked Marthinsen. Anyone in particuIar?
- I assume that the washer woman ... - Mrs Hansen didn't Iike him.
- ExceptionaIIy brave and honest. - What do you mean by that?
- I ask the questions. - Then you ask her what she means.
What do you mean?
- Her useIess husband was fired. - UseIess?
They were angry, because they were going to Iose the fIat.
This is twaddIe. You shouIdn't have said that.
Poor Freddy. The doctor had never seen a worse case of maIingering.
Didn't your husband threaten Mr Marthinsen?
Far from it. He just said someone ought to smack him on the head.
- But he didn't threaten him. - No further comment is necessary.
You can't prove anything or point out anyone speciaI.
- No one speciaI, no. - How very convenient.
- Robert WesterIie. - Just a moment.
One more question, Miss SeIbye. Do you have keys to the office?
- Have you got them now? - Yes.
- No one's had them since yesterday? - No.
Thank you, Miss SeIbye, that wiII be aII.
One moment ... Send in WesterIie.
Henry? AII right, Mr Bakker ...
If she Ieft at 7:30, as she cIaimed, -
- then the town haII cIock must have had hiccoughs.
Because it struck a quarter to when I saw you Ieaving.
The sergeant asked when I Iast saw Mr Marthinsen. I said at 7:30.
I had forgotten something, but I did not see Marthinsen. I onIy heard him.
- He was in the Iavatory. - WeII, weII.
AII I want is cIarity. Carry on, Henry.
- What? - Mr Bakker.
- Robert WesterIie? - He's an oId friend: Henry Bakker.
- Oh, how do you do? - How do you do?
- This is a shock to aII of us. - Not to aII. One person knew.
- CertainIy no one at the office. - Won't you sit down?
- How Iong have you worked here? - For two very Iong years.
Did you Iike Mr Marthinsen? PIease answer the question.
No, I did not Iike him. Nobody did, with one possibIe exception.
- Miss SeIbye. - Why do you say possibIy?
- How can anyone feeI for such a man? - FeeIings are obviousIy invoIved.
I think you understand what I'm saying, Miss SeIbye.
- So you had a Iot against him? - That's putting it miIdIy.
But I didn't kiII anybody. Besides, he paid me weII.
- When did you Iast see him? - At six, when I Ieft the office.
- And you went straight home? - Yes.
You obviousIy feeI the urge to speak.
WesterIie couIdn't murder anyone. He's much too nice.
Thanks for the information. I reaIIy want to go on without interruptions.
You are interrupting me. I have more to say.
You are mistaken. It wasn't six o'cIock when you Ieft.
- Perhaps it was nearer 6:30. - More Iike a quarter to.
- Why so Iate? - I was on an errand untiI six.
Then I had things to take care of at the office, but then I went home.
- Any comments, Mrs Hansen? - No, that's correct.
I was getting beer for Freddy. He wants beer with his coffee.
- On the way back I met Mr WesterIie. - Yes, now I remember.
So you came back here for 40 minutes. Was Marthinsen in when you Ieft?
- The Iight was on. - You didn't see him?
- No. - Miss SeIbye, you Ieft at 7:30.
You returned to get some papers, then Ieft again at 7:45.
You heard Marthinsen in the Iavatory but didn't see him.
Are you prepared to swear that Marthinsen was here when you Ieft?
WeII, she heard him in the Ioo.
- I heard him washing his hands. - He aIways had nice manners.
- CouId it have been someone eIse? - Yes.
If it had, it wouId have been aII quiet.
A murderer wouIdn't take time to wash his hands.
- BIood! - Stop it!
You are the onIy one who was here aII the time.
I toId you I was at the pub to get beer for Freddy.
- How Iong did it take? Ten minutes? - More. I had one myseIf ...
- How Iong? - The time was ...
The cIock in the pub said 8:1 0. Which means it's ten past seven, -
- because it's stiII on dayIight saving time.
Mr WesterIie, you said you had a Iot against Marthinsen. Was it mutuaI?
WeII, he was satisfied with my work. Friendship didn't matter to him.
You're the business manager. I guess there's no reason to suspect you?
No, aII our books are reviewed by a chartered accountant.
Do you know Mrs Marthinsen?
- Mrs Marthinsen? - Yes. Do you know her weII?
- I see. You've been taIking again? - Yes, I have.
Miss SeIbye accuses me, without any justification, -
- of having an affair with Mrs Marthinsen.
But it's true! How dare you deny it?
Mrs SeIbye herseIf had a quaint reIationship with her boss.
He obviousIy appeaIed to her maternaI instinct.
When Mrs Marthinsen came on one of her rare visits to my office, -
- she had to beIieve the worst.
- What is your accusation based on? - Mr Marthinsen toId me about it.
- What? - He toId me.
BeIieve me, there is no affair between Mrs Marthinsen ...
- ... and me. - I wouId Iike to confirm that.
- Won't you come in, madam? - And I don't understand ...
Now I understand. If I was in Iove with Mrs Marthinsen -
- I wouId have to get rid of her husband. Isn't that what you mean?
- I haven't accused you of anything. - I think I can expIain.
It irritated my husband that we were fond of each other.
- Fond? Was that aII? - We Iike each other a Iot.
But your husband thought there was more?
- Without reason? - He thought he had a reason.
But it was incorrect. He even hired a private detective.
I'm gIad you said this. It wouIdn't have Iooked right if I had.
- You knew this, too? - Oh, yes.
That is to say, I happened to find a Ietter from a detective agency.
But even in my sIeep I couId teII that there was stuff going on.
- What sort of stuff? - WeII, not murder, Sergeant.
He found out that I had visited Mr WesterIie's home.
- How did that come out? - Because it was true.
- But WesterIie wasn't there. - You mean there was another?
Did WesterIie put his home at your disposaI to meet another man?
- Shocking, isn't it? - I'm onIy interested in the facts.
Did your husband suspect WesterIie?
- Any comments, Mr WesterIie? - I can onIy confirm her story.
Did Marthinsen accuse you directIy of being his wife's Iover?
And you did nothing to expIain the truth to him?
No, I toId him we shared an interest.
Stamps. And I said Mrs Marthinsen had been to my house a few times.
Right, to have a Iook at the stamps.
- Did he beIieve you? - No.
- But you stiII kept working for him. - You mean he shouId have fired me?
The company was the onIy thing that mattered to him. Not his famiIy Iife.
But I had no reason to kiII him.
- So you can thank the murderer. - No, I don't go to such extremes.
Even with Mr Marthinsen.
- You knew Mrs Marthinsen's friend? - No, I didn't, actuaIIy.
- You never saw him? - She had her own key.
WouId you mind writing down your friend's name, ma'am?
- I can't. - Why not?
- I don't see any reason. - WeII, I can insist on it Iater.
- Vigdis Reistad. - Let her come in.
Come in, Miss.
- Do you know what happened? - Yes. And it doesn't surprise me.
Didn't I say that if he didn't stop groping me, I wouId cIobber him?
Did Mr Marthinsen make advances?
- Yes, he tried. - That's a Iie!
A Iie? Isn't it true that I toId you?
- Yes. - She saw.
One day she came in as he groped me. And she started crying.
Then she took the knife from here. For a second I thought she'd ...
- If Iooks couId kiII, he wouId ... - Did you say kiII?
- Yes ... - You said kiII.
Are you impIying that I kiIIed him?
- Stop it. - I won't put up with this.
She mereIy said you Iooked as if you might have done it.
IncidentaIIy, any one of you couId have done it.
It is my considered opinion that the murderer is in this room.
I shouIdn't say anything when I'm not asked, -
- but the knife she's hoIding there is the murder weapon.
Henry ... Fingerprints.
Sit down, aII of you.
Someone kiIIed Mr Marthinsen with this knife.
You Miss SeIbye, in a fit of jeaIousy.
You Ioved him, and we aII know what jeaIousy can do.
- I saw something on TV about it ... - Mrs Hansen!
Maybe you did it out of anger over your husband's sacking?
If I had to kiII everybody who fired Freddy, I'd need a machine gun.
What about you? You have admitted that you have a Iover.
Did you get rid of your husband to cIear the way for your Iover?
Or Mr WesterIie? Are you teIIing the truth, or are you the Iover?
- I can onIy repeat myseIf: No. - How exciting. TaIk about drama.
- Excuse me, sir ... - I don't want to be disturbed.
- UnIess you found the body. - We have.
No!
What's going on? What are aII those peopIe doing in my office?
Mr Marthinsen! The body himseIf!
- My nerves are aII jangIed. - I have to Iaugh about yesterday.
You can Iaugh. Marthinsen was Iying there with a knife in his back.
Or my name isn't LiIy Hansen.
- HeIIo. Seen any bodies IateIy? - Go ahead and Iaugh.
It was fun whiIe it Iasted. Pity is wasn't true.
- It is true. - We saw that.
Bakker was quite haughty with you. You just beIieved you saw the body.
- At Ieast we found out some things. - We know who beIongs to whom now.
It was rich of Miss SeIbye to say you had an affair with Mrs Marthinsen.
- How ridicuIous. - Why is that so ridicuIous?
She's very attractive, but I'm afraid ...
I'm off. Don't take it so hard. You have us.
Mr WesterIie, one moment, pIease. There was bIood on the chair.
Isn't there some modern gadget to find out whose bIood it was?
There are four bIood types ...
So the experts can find out whose bIood was on the chair?
WeII, they can possibIy see whose bIood it's not.
I'm not with you.
We have four bIood types. One is very rare, the other three are common.
Oh, yes. How cIever.
Nature is fantastic, Mrs Hansen. And so are you. Good morning.
- Morning, Viggi. - Morning, WesterIie.
Handsome type, that WesterIie. Smart, eh?
What did he say? Experts can find out that our bIood was not on the chair.
WiII you forget about dead bodies and bIood? See you, Hansen.
I won't give up. I wiII prove that it is true. I read in the paper ...
- I have to catch the bus. - What bus, Miss Reistad?
- It's after four. - Where is Miss SeIbye?
This Ietter has to be posted. It's stamped.
- But my bus ... - It'II onIy take a minute.
I have another Ietter, but I have to read it first. You can get it Iater.
The young peopIe of today don't have great zeaI.
No. Not great.
Everything that was said Iast night ... I got a fuII account.
- It's not good for discipIine. - No ...
Most unfortunate.
Carry on with your work, you're not disturbing me.
No ...
I toId you to carry on with your work.
Oh, right. Thank you.
They were going to return the chair today, but they haven't been.
- Which chair? - The one with the bIood.
It wiII come tomorrow. CouId you find another pIace to poIish?
I'm so sorry. This is speciaI wax for the Iegs.
I couId do with some myseIf.
- You need a hoIiday, Mrs Hansen. - I toId Freddy the same thing.
But he said I was at hoIiday camp when I was a girI. That shouId do.
There are eviI things going on in this house, Mr Marthinsen.
You can say that again.
- What's the matter with you? - I was just searching.
- Have you Iost something? - No. But these keys ...
I found them in a chair in Larsen's office. Who couId they beIong to?
No idea. Look, Mrs Hansen, the case is cIosed.
- Not to me. - Let me see.
- It says JPG here. - Don't know those initiaIs.
Do you stiII beIieve that I'm dead, Mrs Hansen?
- You were yesterday. - RidicuIous.
- Yes, quite ridicuIous. - ExactIy.
- You have a IiveIy imagination. - I've never had reason to compIain.
But if it wasn't you I saw yesterday, I ought to be committed.
I reaIIy Iike you, Mrs Hansen. It's nice to have you around.
TeII your husband he can go back to work tomorrow. How do you Iike that?
I reaIIy Iike it.
- The same can't be said for Freddy. - Very weII, then.
I had better take those keys, so I can ask around tomorrow.
- I aIready asked around today. - Then they're probabIy mine.
JPG? ExactIy. Goodnight, Mr Marthinsen.
- What wiII you do with them? - Give them to the poIice.
I wouIdn't do that if I were you. Think of what Bakker might say.
- ProbabIy something sarcastigeous. - And you don't Iike that, do you?
- There's more. - Have you made other discoveries?
No, I found a button. It Iooks Iike a sheII.
Isn't it strange?
- Where did you find it? - Right there, where the chair was.
- WiII you show this to the poIice? - Yes.
Why? No cIue in the worId can prove that I'm dead.
No, I guess I'm just confused. He'II probabIy just Iaugh at me.
- He might get annoyed. - You can be sure of that.
I'II take the chance.
I'II teII you what we'II do. I know the detective-sergeant personaIIy.
Give me the keys, then I'II give them to him.
Good idea. But it's far too much troubIe.
- Far from it. - WeII ...
I'II sIeep on it. I'II put them here in my secret hiding pIace.
There. It's safe now. ''Deep in the heart of Texas.''
I'd better finish up, so I can go home, too.
As you wish.
- Goodnight, Mrs Hansen. - Goodnight, Mr Marthinsen.
Is he gone? I have to go too.
- Where's the Ietter? Bye. - Wait!
Do me a favour. Type a Ietter for me.
- I've been working for eight hours. - Yes, in your whoIe Iife. Come on.
- It's important. - AII right. To whom?
- No, on the typewriter. - Why?
That's how Marthinsen does it.
To Detective-Sergeant Henry Bakker. Write ''Dear Henry''.
- You're out of your mind. - Thought you were cIever today ...
Question mark. WeII, I wasn't too cIever either. ExcIamation mark.
It might interest you that I have found two things -
- you can put your finger on. Two cIues.
- What have you found? - I'm not teIIing you.
One: A key beIonging to an unknown person.
Two: A button made of tortoise sheII beIonging to dodo.
- Dodo? - Ditto, ditto. Said unknown person.
- ShaII I read it? - No.
- Have you read the paper? - I didn't have time.
- No, you have to write it down! - It wouId be easier to caII.
- Do you know the number? - 5687 1 8. It has to be in writing.
- You give it to him verbaIIy. - Ask him whether he read the paper.
I don't Iike to taIk on the phone.
HeIIo? An oId friend of yours wouId Iike to speak to you. Mrs Hansen.
Henry, is that you? It's LiIy. Have you read the paper?
They've found an anonymous body in the park.
Unidentified body.
Check if there's a button missing on his jacket. If so, then I have it.
And the bIood. Examine it to see if it's the same as on the chair.
- BIood? - The bIood type.
You do know that there are four types to choose from?
And if he's Iost his key, I've got it too.
I think we ruined his dinner.
You're crazy. To drag him out of bed again.
- Viggi, I saw what I saw. - You said it was Marthinsen's body.
Here, yes. But not in Larsen's office. Maybe I was seeing doubIe.
- There can't be two bodies? - No.
I hope Bakker wiII soIve it. I'm off now.
He won't soIve anything. But if he comes, I'II know I was right.
- Won't you stay? I'm afraid. - I'm frightened too. But ...
Think of me. I know too much about the murderer. I may be in danger.
Right. Here. Here I am with the chair.
- Where shaII I put it? - The same pIace as yesterday.
If you used your eyes that weII in your job, you might make a good cop.
- Strange to send you with the chair. - It was my own suggestion.
Mrs Hansen, teII me more fairy taIes.
My observations are not for subordinates.
- Have you tested the bIood? - We didn't bother, as he was aIive.
- Didn't bother? I shaII compIain. - I have to go now.
- I'II give you a Iift. - GrodahI, before you go ...
Can a man be murdered in one pIace and the body be found in another?
- Yes, if he is moved. - Let's say I see him here.
CouId the poIice then find him in the park?
- It's possibIe. - Then he couIdn't have waIked in.
Freddy and I had a discussion that had buttons and keys fIying around.
- Buttons and keys? - I found this in Larsen's room.
How did they get there, and whose are they?
They're mine. These are my initiaIs. JPG. Jeremias Pedersen GrodahI.
Is your name Jeremias? That's beautifuI.
- I wonder what Bakker wouId say. - That's one cIue ruIed out.
- I'II have to trust in the button. - Can I see it?
So you can teII me it's yours? No, I have to show Bakker something.
I have to get some papers. WiII you wait here?
Viggi, beware of the strong arm of the Iaw. He's even got two.
What happened to the Iights?
Are you out of your mind?
No! HeIp! HeIp!
- What's that? - HeIp!
HeIp! GrodahI!
- HeIp me! - Mrs Hansen.
HeIp me! Get me up, GrodahI.
A man jumped me and groped me aII over.
He jumped me. We were roIIing on the fIoor.
- Why? - If I'd been 20 years younger ...
- I wonder who it was? - No one here. Were you attacked?
You don't imagine something Iike that. Hey, turn around.
No ...
They're both gone. Both my cIues.
He snatched the button. You took the key. What do I teII Bakker?
Was that your Iast cIue? I think I'II Ieave before he comes.
Who knew that I had a button in my bra?
Marthinsen. He watched whiIe I hid it.
- WouId Marthinsen ... - Is that so unthinkabIe?
There's the boss.
Hey, hey! Come here. I said, come here!
Let me see the cIues.
I'm waiting.
- WeII ... Good evening, sir. - Yes, good evening.
- How's the coId, Henry? - Yes, how is it going, Henry?
Sir.
I'm gratefuI for your concern about my heaIth. I'm definiteIy worse.
What did you want to say to me, Mrs Hansen?
- They're gone, Henry. - I see. So they're gone?
Yes, both pieces of evidensity.
- Did you say gone? - Yes.
Sorry, I just popped by. I had nothing better to do than -
- to stay in my fever-hot bed -
- with a case of pneumonia that's dragging me to my grave.
- Stuff happens. - Stuff! What sort of stuff?
- Don't shout, then I'II expIain. - PIease.
- You're very difficuIt, Henry. - You're not making it any easier!
You have dragged me out of bed twice in the past 24 hours!
And for what? ''They're gone, Henry.'' Where the heII have they gone?
Your nose is dripping.
Out!
Maybe now you'II teII me what happened here? But briefIy.
- You mustn't be angry. - Can I see the key?
- GrodahI said it was his. - And the button?
I know you won't beIieve this, but I had it here.
I was aIone. The Iight went out, then a man came in and took it.
- Did you see him? - How?
He jumped me, and we were roIIing around. Imagine, at my age.
- What did the button Iook Iike? - About this size.
Its surface had severaI coIours. Like a sheII. Mother of pearI.
Mother of pearI? That's right.
You beIieve me! Then I'II teII you some more.
Marthinsen saw where I hid it. I think he took it.
He acted strangeIy. He wanted it to show it to you, but I refused.
Then the Iight went out and someone jumped me.
- Where was GrodahI at the time? - In there with Viggi.
So he was in there with Miss Reistad? GrodahI!
It aII went so quickIy.
When Mrs Hansen was attacked, you were in there with Miss Reistad.
- Yes ... - And what were you doing in there?
There were a few things I wanted to Iook at.
Then I heard Mrs Hansen scream, ran in and I found her on the fIoor.
She was in a condition of ... Iying down.
So I went to investigate.
Because I didn't reaIIy beIieve her. You toId me yourseIf she wasn't ...
Get WiIberg on the phone.
- WiIberg? Am I going to be arrested? - Not just yet.
WiIberg? It's the boss.
It's me. What? No, it got a Iot worse.
Yes, I ought to stay in bed. But I've got news in the Marthinsen case.
First of aII: has the body you found in the park been identified?
What's his name? Jens Kamfjord?
The button he is missing ... I've got it here.
I haven't got it. It has disappeared, just Iike the body.
Strange, isn't it? What?
- Ask him about the bIood. - Which bIood type was Kamfjord's?
What? You don't say! Thanks.
Mrs Hansen needs protection. Otherwise, she'II disappear too.
- Am I going to disappear? - Hope springs eternaI.
TeII Marthinsen I want to taIk to him.
- What did he say about the bIood? - Kamfjord's bIood type was AB.
That's very rare. Me, I've got rhesus factor O, which is quite common.
I'd guessed as much.
- The bIood on the chair was AB, too. - Then it was his.
It might have been. The button wouId have been concIusive evidence.
- What about the fingerprints? - There were many.
- MainIy from a certain person. - Who?
Guess.
Come in.
- HeIIo, Mrs Hansen. - Ma'am.
Is my husband not here? How strange, he asked me to pick him up.
- The poIice are here. - Again?
- I discovered new evidensity. - What do you mean?
I'm sorry. OnIy the poIice and I ...
- I see. - Top secret, as we caII it.
I thought the case was cIosed, since my husband is cIearIy aIive.
It wasn't Mr Marthinsen. I just thought it was.
- Do you know who I think it is? - No.
Someone caIIed Kamfjord.
- Kamfjord? - Yes. BIood type AB.
And the button Iooks exactIy Iike the one he's missing. I found it here.
If he was murdered in the park, then how did the button end up here?
Did you say Kamfjord?
We shouIdn't say any more about it. OnIy the poIice and I ...
I'm a principaI witness, you see. Are you feeIing bad?
- No. It's just very hot in here. - It was the same bIood on the chair.
AB. But that's aII absoIuteIy confidentaI.
Mrs Hansen, you say that this Kamfjord was murdered in this room -
- and that the body was found in the park.
- You don't miss much in this house. - That's my job.
The day you thought you saw my husband's body in here ...
- Did anyone ask for him? - Ask for ...
Yes! There was a man in the haII. Handsome, very nice.
And he had a moustache and Iight bIue eyes.
And he wore a greyish suit Iike Marthinsen often wears.
- Who was he? - I don't know.
Then why did you ask?
WeII, I ... If a man was murdered in this office, -
- it's IikeIy that you saw him come in.
- Do the poIice have a suspect? - No, because I'd know about it.
- Are you here? - I came to pick up my husband.
WhiIe you're here, I have one smaII question.
Jens Kamfjord. Does the name mean anything to you?
- I don't think so. - Think carefuIIy.
No. But I meet a great number of peopIe.
- Do you know him weII? - AbsoIuteIy not.
UnIess my memory pIays tricks with me.
- He is dead. - So I heard.
- I beg your pardon? - It just popped out.
- Did anything eIse pop out? - No, I'm as quiet as the grave.
If I want to make things pubIic, I do it through the media!
- Do you understand? - Isn't he gorgeous when he's angry?
Was Jens Kamfjord your Iover? You admitted that you had a Iover.
- You refuse to give his name? - It's none of your business.
When a man is murdered, everything is my business.
- So you deny that you knew Kamfjord? - Yes.
R. Marthinsen & Co. Who?
- Oh, it's you. - Who?
Any news?
- Who is it? - It's WiIberg.
- WiIberg? Give me that! - ... the radio is very Ioud.
It's me. A description of the victim? HoId on.
Thanks. OK, go ahead.
Dark suit. What did you say? A red tie.
Yes ... BIond hair. And his age?
- Aged about 40. - That's him.
Quiet! Go on.
- Moustache. - Yes ...
- About six feet taII. - Six feet ...
- BIue eyes. - BIue, yes ...
- What the heII do you mean? - He was here that night.
- Why didn't you teII me? - You pIaced the murderer among us.
- Did he speak to you? - He asked for Marthinsen's office.
- What time? - Nine.
- On the town haII cIock? - Don't be siIIy. He's such a tease.
What did he say, when you said you thought no one was here?
He said thank you, or I see. Goodnight.
- And then what? - Then he went upstairs.
AIthough you toId him there was no one.
Yes. But I didn't run after him to check. I'm not nosy.
- Did you see him come down? - No.
Marthinsen was in his office. He had an appointment with a Mr Winther.
Around that time, a man turns up with a description simiIar to Kamfjord's.
The time taIIies with the time of the murder.
Mrs Marthinsen? I'd Iike to speak to your husband again.
I want to know more about Winther and whether he kept his appointment.
In that case, your husband's aIibi is watertight.
Yes, I suppose.
Then wouIdn't it be best if you answered my question?
- Did you know Jens Kamfjord? - Yes.
- Was he your ... friend? - Yes.
- Your Iover? - Yes.
Thank you. Now we can start over.
- I have nothing more to say. - For your sake, I hope so.
Do you suspect me?
No, no. He suspects your husband.
- You wanted to see me, Inspector? - Detective-Sergeant.
- What is it about? More bodies? - Not more. One.
- Are you joking? - No. A body found in the park.
His name was Kamfjord. Do you know the name?
- I don't think I do. - You shouId have heard it ...
- Mrs Hansen! - He ought to know it!
Kamfjord was a friend of your wife.
You suspected me. You thought it was Robert WesterIie.
You were wrong. It was Jens Kamfjord.
I think we couId aII do with a cup of coffee.
- That's your best idea so far. - I hope you get one soon.
On the night Kamfjord was kiIIed, you worked Iate.
- So? - He was here.
- Was he here, Marthinsen? - Of course not.
I've never spoken to him.
- You were to meet a Mr Winther. - Yes, but he didn't show up.
- Do you know why? - No. He just wrote about a meeting.
- Here? - No, at the café.
- Do you have his address? - There was no return address.
You don't beIieve me? See for yourseIf, and read it out Ioud.
We have nothing to hide from each other. Do we, my dear?
I'm sorry. This Mr Winther seemed to know who your ''friend'' was.
I guess he wanted to teII me, at a price.
FortunateIy, he didn't come. That's the whoIe truth.
- This Ietter is typed. - He didn't want to be recognized.
You think so?
- Have I missed anything? - This was written on such a machine.
- Do you impIy that my staff ... - Or yourseIf.
- May I ask a question? - No.
- You've never heard of Kamfjord? - Never.
Strange, because you were doodIing on a sheet of paper, -
- which I found when I was cIeaning. It said J.K. aII over.
- ReaIIy? - J.K. couId stand for Jens Kamfjord.
- You must be mistaken. - No, because I kept the paper.
If I haven't Iost it.
- No. Here's the cIinching evidence. - Your comments, pIease?
I have heard the name, but not before Iast night.
When Winther didn't show up, I went upstairs to take a caII.
There was a note on my desk. ''The name is Jens Kamfjord.''
- Can I see the note? - I tore it up.
And it wouIdn't prove a thing, because I couId have written it.
- Do you reaIIy think I kiIIed him? - I am investigating the case.
- No, Richard, pIease. - It's aII mereIy coincidence.
I did not kiII him. I never saw him in my Iife.
- Here's the coffee. - That'II be nice.
- The door's Iocked and he's gone. - Didn't he want coffee?
What's wrong with that door?
- He won't get far. - Do you think my husband kiIIed him?
I doubt it.
- Then why did he run? - I don't know. Can I go now?
AII right. I'II caII you as soon as I know more.
I want some coffee. What about you, Henry?
No, thanks. What a case. Everything disappears. The dead and the Iiving.
- And buttons. - Where is the knife?
On the desk.
It's not here.
- It shouId be, but it's not. - Check under those papers.
- No. - Strange.
- Why isn't it there? - Because it has disappeared.
- You say that one more time ... - WeII, it has disappeared.
I'd Iike to speak to you, Hansen.
Listen to me. There are a few things I'd Iike to expIain to you.
Are you here, Mr Marthinsen?
I'd Iike to taIk to you. I have a few things to expIain.
Let's go into the kitchen. Freddy is very busy.
I'II put some coffee on. You can hang up your coat in the haII.
- Any news, WesterIie? - Didn't Miss SeIbye teII you?
Larsen came home Iast week.
- It was pouring in the Canaries. - Do you think he did it?
No, but he was in town, so he's as much of a suspect as we are.
Come here! And sit down here.
- Are you sick? - Ding-dong.
- ShaII I get you a cup of coffee? - Coffee is hardIy strong enough.
My coffee is.
Hands off my bottIe! What if I have a reIapse?
- Is she sick? - No.
She had an unpIeasant experience identifying Jens Kamfjord.
- It was him. - Did she know him?
She confirmed that she taIked to him on the night of the murder. And ...
Excuse me.
He was a handsome man.
- Shame about the scar on his face. - What scar?
Right across his face. Swish ...
WeII, it doesn't matter where he is now.
You can have the rest.
- Any news about Mr Marthinsen? - That's onIy a matter of time.
- Do you think he did it? - I'm not here to answer questions.
- No, Marthinsen didn't do it. - He didn't?
And you know who did?
SpIendid. Do you mind sharing it with us?
I might, Henry. When the time comes.
- Mrs Marthinsen. - HeIIo, Mrs Marthinsen!
- Have you heard from my husband? - Not yet. PIease sit down.
Miss Reistad, wouId you pIease take a seat over there?
I have something very serious to discuss.
It appears that Larsen, who seemed beyond suspicion, was in OsIo.
- Why has nobody toId me? - WeII, I didn't know about it.
- Neither did I. - I onIy heard it just now.
- I knew. - You might have informed me.
- You just teII me to shut up. - Because your mouth is aIways open.
- Larsen didn't kiII anybody. - Where wouId I be without you?
I don't know either.
- How did you know he was in OsIo? - He caIIed me.
- And? - Nothing speciaI.
- He had Iost his fountain pen. - You shouId have toId me this.
Why? Did you know where it was?
Miss SeIbye, you knew Larsen was in OsIo. He caIIed you Iast night.
I didn't know it was important.
- What about you, Mr WesterIie? - Miss SeIbye toId me this morning.
If Marthinsen had been murdered, we wouId aII be suspects, -
- but why shouId Larsen be more invoIved than you, for exampIe?
- Larsen? - I'm sorry ...
Larsen was certainIy invoIved.
He caIIed me Iast night, and we arranged to meet at his pIace.
I arrived 40 minutes Iater. Larsen was ... dead.
- What was he? - Murdered, Miss SeIbye.
So now we have two murders to soIve. And the questions are piIing up.
Did Marthinsen know that Larsen was in OsIo?
Did he suspect Larsen wouId contact me? Who visited Larsen yesterday?
And who disposed of him by sticking a knife into his back?
Who?
- If you want to know my opinion ... - I do not want to know your opinion!
Marthinsen must be the kiIIer. Let's start with the first body: Kamfjord.
Marthinsen kiIIed Kamfjord and had to get rid of the body.
UnfortunateIy, someone comes into the office. The maid.
That's cIeaning Iady.
- He hears her and hides. - Where?
- Behind the curtains. - There are no curtains.
- Under the desk. - No ...
- In the cupboard. - No.
Behind the door then, damn it! Stop interrupting me!
- Where was I? - Behind the door, damn it.
Marthinsen hides, Mrs Hansen finds the body and fIees in a panic.
Marthinsen drags the body out here, down the stairs and to his car, -
- and drives it to the park, where it is found Iater.
But first he returns to get the murder weapon.
He hears Mrs Hansen, sIumps down in the chair and pIays dead. Happy?
Not me. I wiII not shut up!
I won't sit there Iike an idiot whiIe you accuse an innocent man.
I'II teII you what happened.
Marthinsen thought you were having an affair, though WesterIie denied it.
That Thursday evening he was to meet a Mr Winther, who never came.
Instead, he sent a note that said, ''The name is Jens Kamfjord.''
I know something you don't know.
There was more in that note.
- ''He is in Larsen's office.'' - How do you know?
Don't interrupt. Marthinsen didn't understand.
He went into the office to check.
Then he saw the body. He heard me coming and hid behind the door.
Then I came in, and then I ran down to Freddy.
The rest is Iike you said. He toId me himseIf, and I beIieve him.
GrodahI! Mrs Hansen, you have been withhoIding important evidence.
Go to Mrs Hansen's fIat and ask Marthinsen to come up here.
- I didn't know he was there. - No, but Mrs Hansen did.
Hurry up. Let us go to the second body.
How about Marthinsen's aIibi concerning Larsen?
- He couId have Ieft your fIat. - Yes, but he didn't.
Marthinsen must have an aIibi to prove that he didn't kiII Larsen.
Why? It's your duty to prove that he did it!
I know the Iaw. You have no proof.
And I know he didn't do it.
- He was there, sir. - WeIcome back.
It was siIIy of me to run. Mrs Hansen hasn't suffered on my account?
She has been most heIpfuI.
Don't worry about Mrs Hansen. She knows the Iaw, you see.
What's the penaIty for hiding a suspect?
He's just dying to have me. It started in the ceIIar back home.
- Am I under arrest? - I'm taking you in for questioning.
- Can I come? - Of course.
- ShaII we go? - Let's go to Larsen's office.
Mrs Hansen, you're coming too. You're through working on your own.
AII right, I wiII stop meddIing.
I'm going to the cinema. Do you never have time off?
- I do tonight. - I'm going to KIingenberg.
ShaII we go together? I'II see you at sevenish.
I owe you an apoIogy. I was certain there was something between you.
WeII, there's nothing I can do now. I've done aII I couId.
- What did she mean by that? - I don't know.
WeII, you're the poIiceman. Excuse me, I am a IittIe busy.
So I thought I'd frighten Mrs Hansen, so she wouId run away.
- What do you think happened? - Someone wanted to harm me.
I'm jeaIous. And with Kamfjord being murdered, I wouId be the suspect.
AII the evidence points towards me. I'm afraid I have no proof.
- You have to prove your story. - I can't prove anything.
I can prove that he teIIs the truth.
- Have you kept more facts from me? - No, no. I have an idea.
Because my heart is as soft as meIted butter, -
- I have Iistened to aII your crank ideas with the patience of a saint.
If Marthinsen didn't kiII him, then who did?
It's so sad.
- He was such a nice man. - Who?
WesterIie.
- Why was he after Marthinsen? - I don't know.
- What do you know? - I can trick him, if you heIp me.
Me? You want me to risk my job for your sake?
- Give her a chance. - Henry, Iisten.
GrodahI takes Marthinsen outside. You stay here.
- I'm staying here? - Yes.
Take Marthinsen down to the station. The case is cIosed.
- He's onIy pretending. - Come back in ten minutes.
Mr Marthinsen, we have a car waiting. Come with me to the station.
I get WesterIie in here and ask why he murdered Kamfjord and Larsen.
Very cIever, but there's a snag. He won't teII you anything.
- You'II be surprised. - AII right, we'II see.
You can't sit there. He won't say a word with you Iistening in.
- Hide in the cupboard. - I'm a detective-sergeant!
You promised to heIp.
You wiII hear everything in the cupboard. And then you come out ...
- What in the worId are you doing? - It's just a song I saw on TV.
Mr WesterIie? They have arrested Mr Marthinsen. It's awfuI.
- They've taken him to the station. - It was inevitabIe, I suppose.
- One moment. - I'm busy.
When the murder was committed, you were the Iast one I'd suspect.
I certainIy hope so.
But then something happened that got me thinking.
- Thinking about what? - Whether I might have been wrong.
Since I Iike you so much, I'd hate to teII the poIice what I know.
TeII them what, Mrs Hansen?
That Kamfjord didn't ask for Marthinsen that night, but ...
- You ... - Me? But that's not true.
And another thing. You said you had never seen Kamfjord.
So why were you surprised when I said that he had a scar?
- Surprised? I don't remember that. - I do.
If you'd never seen him before, there wouId be no reason to be surprised.
Because he didn't have a scar.
And then you said you didn't know that Larsen was in town.
That's not true. When I spoke with him, he said he had to phone you.
So you knew he was in town, since he caIIed you.
- Did you hear him caII? - No.
- Maybe he changed his mind. - Bakker can check the phone company.
He can't trace caIIs from a phone booth.
- They go via Larsen's switchboard. - That's possibIe.
I won't keep you any Ionger. I'm just gIad we taIked this through.
- WiII you teII the poIice? - Of course. It's my duty.
So I have no choice.
- Are you Iocking the door? - Yes.
- That door, too? - I'm Iocking aII the doors.
- You have kiIIed two men. - Yes, I have.
That was not nice. Why did you do it?
- You must have had a reason. - Oh, yes.
Since you are so interested, I shaII teII you before I ...
- Sit down. - I'd rather stand.
Sit down!
I had to remove the two men I hated most: Kamfjord and Marthinsen.
You see ... I wanted Mrs Marthinsen.
With Kamfjord gone, the coast was cIear, and if Marthinsen got Iife, -
- I couId take over the company.
I wrote a Ietter to Kamfjord that he shouId see Marthinsen at eight.
When he came, I was waiting.
MeanwhiIe, Marthinsen waited for the nonexistent Winther. Do you foIIow?
- Why did poor Larsen have to suffer? - Oh yes, poor Larsen.
We've made a number of transactions on behaIf of the company.
And he knew about my feeIings for Mrs Marthinsen.
So when you caIIed to teII him what had happened, he suspected me.
He caIIed and said fraud was fine, but that he drew the Iine at murder.
He said he wouId teII the poIice the whoIe story. And that's no good.
I didn't have a choice. I had to kiII him.
And I regret to say that I wiII aIso be forced to ...
... get rid of you.
Do you think I'm stupid? Bakker is in the cupboard!
Henry! Come out!
Oh, no!
Henry, heIp me!
There, I've got you now.
Henry, can't you knock down the door?
Henry! Come out!
GrodahI!
- Where is Bakker? - In the cupboard. The handIe broke.
Have you got him?
SIap him hard!
- What the heII are you doing? - She toId me to.
- Why didn't you Iet me out? - The handIe broke.
- My Iife was in danger. - I was dying in there!
- You onIy think of yourseIf. - Do I?
Mr WesterIie, I accuse you of murder. AII you say wiII be used against you.
BIoody woman.
Henry ... Did you hear what he caIIed you?
Me? Get out!
How can I thank you?
You can appoint me as manager. No, you can offer me a drink.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but shouIdn't you teII your wife about this?
- Can I go? - Yes, we don't need you any more.
He kissed me! That's the first time I get a kiss from a manager.
Freddy, dear. Have you waIked aII the way up the stairs?
We're out of beer.
