Blue eyes. Meet me tonight according to letter. Will wear a red
carnation, John
John? Good evening. līm blue eyes
- Oh, yes - īMurder in Sohoī
Good morning - Good morning
Good morning - Marshall
Look - Another poem? -Exactly
Elephants encircle her smooth white arm. Good luck token to shield
...her from harm. This lovely child with lustrous eyes. A beauty that...
...only death can enhance. - Letīs go to see the chief
And tell Barrington to stand by
Whatīs going on?
We just got another poem
It was posted last night
A beauty that only death can enhance. Tonight, my friends...
...itīs her final dance
The īPī keys have fallen off the alignment the īRī is sometimes not
...clearly visible, a small broken curve is found in all the letters īEī
Thereīs no doubt, this poem was typed on the identical machine
...as the poems written before, classified under...
...file Q140X
Thank you
Kind of paper, standard and cheap 8 1/2 by 11 1/2
Manufactured, like always, by Stanton Milles, watermark Victoria
Victoria again
Thereīs no ink stains Typewriter ribbon probably...
...3 months old No finger prints
Like always
Whatīs this? Glove prints, probably suede gloves
Evaluation of the typewriter, chemical analysis, finger prints
The same information as on the other 7 letters
And the other 7 girls disappeared
Exactly. Thereīs a maniac homicidal on the loose around London
A maniac whoīs weakness is young and beautiful girls and weīre...
...still far from his apprehension
The whole department is racking their brains on this case
Racking their brains? Thatīs a mistake. We can keep...
...racking on our brains to the end and innocent girls would keep...
...disappearing, like this one whoīs fate has been shield by this poem.
Itīs not our brains what needs to be squeezed...
But the brain who wrote this The kind of beauty that only death...
...can enhance. Tonight my friends, itīs her final dance
50 beauties performing for you! 50 dream girls...
...to dream of! Dreams, silky dreams!
Blonde beauties! Not only one but 50! Gentleman, only for 6 pennies!
Thanks for the dance - Come to have a drink
- No, līve got to go - Come on just a drink
- Come on, enough, move on - Alright, līm sorry
My feet hurt. Līm glad itīs only two more hours
Two hours in this cement make it seem longer than a 6 days bike race
In flew a dead duck
Come on darling, letīs dance
Is there a stiff sticks reunion tonight? I wish you two are very happy
Thank you
You must be the most beautiful girl in here. The minute I laid my eyes
...on you I said to myself, Oswald, thatīs my name, thatīs the most...
...beautiful girl in the old place
- Take it easy, I donīt dance or have bad intention, I want to talk
You canīt take me home, I donīt finish until 2 a.m.
We canīt go to have a drink and I now what you want
No, no, lady, līm a show agent, līve watched you and you have personality
Wouldnīt you wan t to work in a fine place?
Donīt tell me they need dancers in Buckingham Palace
No, itīs for a Night Club with Fleming and Willes, the best places...
...in London. You are too pretty for cheap places like this
līve heard that before
Not from me Miss, līm Milton, Mr. Flemingīs agent...
...looking for beautiful girls Ten a week and bonuses
Thereīs an audition Monday at 9
līll be there at 9 a.m. sharp
Not in the morning, this evening Whoīs seen Mr. Fleming...
...up at 9 in the morning?
Look, an agent for a Night Club!
līm not interested, tonight līm meeting my blue eyes and līll say...
...good bye to this for good
What are you talking about?
A man, he is so handsome līm going away with him
Whoīs he?
His name is John and he comes from a very distinguished family
Whoīs the lucky girl this time? Me? Donīt be jealous
There we go, 6 pennies
- Still alone sweetheart? Letīs dance darling
You must be the most beautiful girl in the old place, the minute I laid...
...my eyes on you I said to myself, Oswald, thatīs my name, thatīs the...
...most beautiful girl in the old place
Youīre a little cold, should we get a little warmer?
Lucy, that John, where is he from?
Who are you dancing with, with me or with your friend?
Shut up! Where did you meet him?
In the personal column
Lucy not like this, itīs dangerous
Not when I have my precious little friend to protect me
Elephants encircle her smooth white arm
Professor, līve read this poem to satiety. I had the best...
...cryptographs of London checking for any kind of code
līd be surprised if they found it Whatever the criminal reveals in...
...those poems it would be against his will
Subconscious, nothing simple
Inspector, līm glad to say that līve been able to identify the style
Do you know anything about him? Is he truly a poet?
He would like to. He admires one He almost copies him
Who?
The poet that your man must know by memory is Charles Bodelaire
Bodelaire was obsessed with the idea that death is beautiful
Listen to this. A beauty still more beautiful in dead. Your criminal...
...has the same hallucinations A beauty that only death can...
...enhance
I see, but Bodelaire died a century ago
in a horrible way in Paris in 1.867 Your assassin, if heīs like Bodelaire
...will look for beauty and charm constantly. A beautiful new face will...
...always attract him Any unusual appeal will inspire him...
...will lead him to destruction He likes variety...
...and heīs never satisfied
Like a modern Don Juan
You could say that. I hope I made it more clear, inspector
Bodelaire? That might help, but at the moment I donīt see how
Thank you very much Doctor Howkins and good day
Sir, this is the chance of a lifetime
The chance of a lifetime?
I would do anything to work in a Fleming and Willes show
Fleming and Willes? Whatīs wrong with your job here? Whatīs wrong...
...with this place? I like it
Me too, itīs great and loaded with opportunities
But I want to go to that audition Would you let me off tonight?
Not, unless you want to loose your job. We need more girls, including
...your friend Lucy By the way, what happened to her?
I know nothing about her. Her landlady might know, did you ask her?
Thatīs a good idea. And go back to work like a good girl
Bye cutie
I need a line
Watch it boy
Hello? Hello?
Fleming and Willes? Hello?
Hello
Is this Mr. Flemingīs secretary?
Whoīs this?
Itīs not for you, she wants your secretary
Is it a girl? Hello
Is this Mr. Flemingīs secretary? This is Sandra Carpenter
Who is this?
Sandra Carpenter. I was supposed to come in tonight for an audition...
...Mr. Milton gave me a card but I canīt possibly get away
Could you tell Mr. Fleming?
Mr. Fleming will be disappointed You have a charming voice
But I donīt sing, I dance
I bet you do and beautifully, why donīt we set up a private interview
You are intolerable
Wait a minute. The eyes of jealousy are green, donīt let that colour...
...get damaged
You are incorrigible
Of course I am, līm incorrigible Go on my dear, talk to me
Is it okay for the secretary to pass judgement for his boss?
Mr. Fleming never makes a move without me, in fact he lets me take...
...his girls out to dinner in order to talk things over
Lemonade please
Are you American?
Mr. Fleming loves them, they have an innocent way to put a man defensive
Oh Robert you are...!
Impossible. What were you saying?
Would it be against Mr. Fleming policy to tell one of the girls when...
...the next audition is, please?
Tomorrow at 9. Will you make it?
I think so
I guaranty youīll see Mr. Fleming Happy?
Very happy
Why donīt you smile?
līm smiling. Any more instructions?
Lucy Barnard feared eight victim of īPoet killerī
Operator? Hello? Hello?
Hello Julian
They just gave me the drawings
I feel like Napoleon after Waterloo
More like Romeo after Juliet closed the window
Is the first time they hung up on me in years
Take a look, now weīll have the finest Night Club in London
The entrance is large as well as the dance area
I think the entrance is too long, we better take 6 feet off
A big entrance gives a better impression...
Always keep the entrances crowded Julian
Splendid. There is no manager in London at your level
There is no partner like you in the world to keep everything in order
Youīre appreciation is in order. I just control the accounts
Itīs not that easy. Youīve to be a magician to get profit with my ideas
Letīs take a look at the pretty girls in their dancing shoes
Go ahead girls! Are you coming Julian?
The eighth victim of the poet killer. Horrible!
Have you read this?
Youīre too sentimental līm sure she met a...
...professional that promised her the riches of the Orient
You donīt understand women
And, is that the last time you saw Lucy Barnard?
Yes, the night she said she was going away with some man
Her landlady told us she left all her clothes and everything she owned
It wasnīt much
The man she left with, Did you know him?
No. All I know is that she met him through the personal column,
And donīt you remember what the add said?
Yes, I have it right here It was on her dressing table
Refined gentleman means friendship with attractive young girl
Enclose photograph, intention marriage BOX 477
Tell me Miss. Carpenter What kind of a girl was...
...Miss. Barnard?
Just a nice kid. Not too smart but not too dumb. The kind of girl...
...that falls over a smooth line She believed no harm could get her...
...because she wore good luck charms Some silly little white elephants
Did you say elephants? Around her wrist on a bracelet?
How did you know?
A girl by the name Arlette disappeared about a year ago
Disappeared?
Yes, a few days before she disappeared we received this poem
īSmile your last sweet fragile smile Arlette, but when the roses fade...
...the north wind whispers are you ready yet?ī
This one we received last December īMove quickly to rendezvous...
...my loving Louis. But, what if the gate is locked?
Your lover has the keyī The very next day her parents notified...
...notified us that she had disappeared that night
Nobody knew anything else about her Last week we...
...received this
īElephants encircle her...ī Elephants!

Mademoiselle, donīt you know it? Heīs the greatest designer of Berlin
Oh, a designer!
He made this dress 25 years ago for a princess, Royal Highness Alicia
But it was nonsense, poor thing, heīs still living in those days
Why? What happened?
Mademoiselle, the princess never saw the dress. The design was...
...stolen by competitors in Paris That broke his heart
And his mind. He doesnīt care for anything since then
Are you ready Matilda? - Ready mademoiselle?
Maintenant chery!
Beautiful my child, beautiful!

Oh, gracious lady! My poor captain
Your wife dragged you here I presume
Madame, I would like to congratulate you for that ingenious collar
That lace, that thin sleeve Get closer, dear...
...so that Mrs. Winston can see you
Pardon me
How do you like my new model? I guess you know what happened to...
...the last one. Itīs true, do you know?
Matilda!
Youīve ruined me! - ĄJe ne sais pas que tu fais!
Charles, open the door!
No, no, wait a minute sir Van Rutten, please!
You, you are the spy!
No, no, take it easy!
Easy? You think itīs easy to steal my ideas, is that why youīre...

How do you know my name?
I know everything. You were a dancer and now you work for the Police
My name is Barret, H. A. Barret working in the force for 29 years
Why didnīt you tell me before?
I wanted to make sure you could take what happened
That man almost killed me!
Do you think I didnīt see it all? Didnīt I show up when you needed me?
What happened to that horrible man?
He landed right in my arms and now heīs with an officer at the corner
Heīs crazy!
Donīt worry. Take a good rest and youīll be ready for the next one
I hope youīre right
But if you want to take care of yourself Miss Carpenter...
...here is your toy
Here is yours
Thank you
Thatīs all right
What do you mean sheīs disappeared?
Like I told you. I went back to the Palladium but she doesnīt work there
Didnīt you find out where she went?
I got the number of her flat but her landlady told me she left...
...two days ago taking everything Nobody knows where she is
Maybe the poet killer got the girl
Sheīs one girl that can take care of herself. She wanted a chance before
and now...
Are you coming? We shouldnīt be late
Keep searching. Find that American girl and bring her here in person
Are you on International affairs now?

...possibilities for anyone like you - The girls that were here before all...
...went to much better... - Maria take care of your business
But sheīs right about the girls Theyīre all done very well
I see. Well, if there is really a chance for advances...

Itīs a fear
Fear of meeting the wrong people
Waiter, an aspirin tablet, please!
- Your aspirin sir - Thank you
He must be short sighted or a fool
Waiter, how much please?
līm not in a habit of letting...
Say that again. Talk to me, say Is it customary for Mr. Flemingīs...?
You remember too
līm afraid memories sometimes are hard to shake off
Why didnīt you come to the audition? I had Mr. Fleming sold on you...
...he had the stage all with American flags...
And you didnīt show up
līll tell you why. I have a better job with a future. Not your kind
Did you want to pay, sir?
Yes, for both
Thanks for the drink līm being paged, will you excuse me
Your change, sir
Whoīs that guy?
Heīs an art agent
What about īMusic loverī?
Obviously he didnīt show up
Maybe he did, he saw you with that guy and thought it was to risky
Take your coat. Weīll force him to contact you in a darker place
Besides, this music after all is giving me a head ache
I want to stay to listen to an orchestra I donīt have to dance...
...to for a change
Whatīs a five letter word meaning smaller
I donīt know. I donīt want to miss the A minor of Shubert
A minor. Minor!
Madam, your car is waiting
My car?
Yes madam
This way madam
Whatīs this?
The gentleman with whom you had the appointment was unable to come
He asked me to take you
This way madam, please
This is one of Fleming and Willes places, isnīt it?
Yes madam, the best and most splendid
Check me
līll remember you - Madam, līll take you to your table
Mr. Secretary, you must have been persistent to get where you are
I wanted you to see what youīre missing. Distinguished clientele,
...food and vine for gourmets devastating music
Youīre certainly going to a lot of trouble making your contacts
Not for every contact. A drink could improve our relationship
If you drink līll join you
Pierre! A bottle of Mummīs, 37
Of course Mr. Fleming
Is there anything wrong?
My IQ mustīve been flying Mr. Fleminīs secretary, ah?
It wasnīt my idea. You started it
I must say I rather enjoyed the job while it lasted
I didnīt have any future with it, thatīs why I gave it up
Youīre not very talkative tonight
Should we drink a toast to your friend who didnīt show up?
Those X ray eyes of yours donīt miss a thing, do they?
Nothing that concerns me
How could it in this case?
Did it cross your mind I could be the person you were waiting for?
Yes as a matter of fact, I have. Did you send me that letter?
I could have The result is the same
Why didnīt you stay till the end if youīre a music lover
I had more important things in my minds
Such us?
Like planning a night out with you
Do you like that song?
Yes, very much
Do you know whatīs called?
All for love
I never had it sound like that before
You didnīt write that letter
The technique is entirely different
You have your way, I have mine. Would you like to dance or...
...is that reserved for auditions?
līd like to very much
līll pass judgement this time
Dear, your heiress - For as long as she can hold it
- Obviously itīs just the beginning - The old Flemingīs pattern...
...itīs always the same. He takes her in his arms and they dance a few...
...steps in a beautiful, harmonious silence, and...
...then he starts his charming little speeches
Now he begins his campaign to soften her a little
He tells her how exciting he is, how fortunate he is and...
...how beautiful her red hair is, or dark or purple as the case may be
Donīt say it, Mr. Fleming let me guess, līm sure itīs been said before
Have them sing it again, please
I would be glad to
Mr. Fleming is ever so much nicer than his secretary
Thanks for everything
May I?
Oh, Mr. Maxwell, come in Sit down my dear, sit down

What do you mean?
You havenīt travelled much, have you?

Never seen South America? Never felt the warmth of its sun?
The happiness and colour!
Magnificent, the rolling pampas, the towering picks...
The charm of the Cities and the people, hospitable and rich
Oh donīt kid me Mr. Maxwell Thatīs strictly for dreams
Mr. Moriani has it in his power to provide many opportunities
I can see myself in a setting like that but what would I do there?
Mr. Moriani has many properties, you might start as you did here...
...the height you might reach is unlimited
Honestly, I would give notice right now
The boat doesnīt sail until Wednesday

Itīs one of his boats
Thereīs one thing I donīt like about it, though. - What?

Sandra, five glasses for Cognac
Would you mind Mr. Moriani? Is Sir Charles
In the library
Yes, sir
Isnīt she beautiful? - Who is she?
- Nobody, nobody at all, just a normal girl, pretty, smart
- Sheīs too smart, I donīt want her in the deal. -But...
- What did you tell her? - The usual thing
- What did you tell her? - Nothing, nothing at all
- Did you tell her the name of the boat?
You idiot!
Well that solves the problem. Have a Brandy. - Thank you
That should do it - Right
Have a brandy old boy
- Thank you
Brandy sir?
For Christ, whatīs wrong?

Sandra!

What are you doing wearing that idiotic costume?
Making a living sir, as a maid uniform is required
A living? So this is the job with a future?
If you please!
May I be of any service to you sir?
Is there anything that you want, sir in the kitchen?
Yes, līve lost a button of my coat and this young lady...
...was going to sew it on
I was going to find...
Do you have the button sir?
No, unfortunately not. Would you be good enough to pick one for me?
Very well, a black one
Sandra, couldnīt you get out for a minute?
līm on duty, sir
Sir, the lady is going to take care of the button. -Sandra? Take him out
Excuse me, sir
Your button, sir
Ah?
Your button
Thank you
Scotland Yard, please Scotland Yard?
This is Sandra Carpenter calling Mr. Barret please
Hello, Mr. Moriani! - Hello!
You donīt want to call anybody?
Theyīre not in It was lonesome walking around...
...I thought līd find a friend of mine
Why didnīt you ask me, weīre friends arenīt we?
Surely
Maxwell told me how friendly you are Youīre very interested in our plans
Of course, what girl wouldnīt be? South America must be wonderful
I really shouldnīt stay out too long
Max wonīt mind as long as youīre with me
Incidentally, who were you calling? A man?
Yes, it a very old friend of mine
Donīt lie to me!
līm not lying!
What are you up to?
Donīt scream!
Nothing, nothing!
What did you tell him?
Robert, heīs got a knife!
Robert, I was so frightened!
līm so glad you came! - So Am I
I was starting to think that you did not appreciate my advantages
But I do, I do...
...but I couldnīt Oh darling, you know!
I couldnīt get you out of my mind
Hello?
Hello
Pardon me. I thought I heard somebody screamed? Whatīs this?
Well, you really knocked him down
Look do me a favour, will you? - Anything you say
Report this case to the police līm going to take my girl home
Leave it to me You take care of the young lady
By the way, whoīs our sleeping Romeo?
I donīt know I never saw him before All of a sadden there he was
pushing me around. - Well, it wasnīt that bad
What do you mean?
Look what he did for me tonight
Itīs true, weīre engaged. Līm going to marry the man, isnīt it wonderful?
Congratulations, we hope you are extremely happy
Thank you, thank you
I hope you didnīt revealed your connexions with Scotland Yard?
No, thanks to Barret I didnīt have to. Did you get them all?
Yes, we did get the Doriatrix after arresting Moriani and his accomplice
Gordon is investigating his operations in South America
Sir Charles is very grateful for that bit of house cleaning
He was quite shocked when he learned that his downstairs was used for
...apprentices in crime
I can imagine. Youīll let me know the minute you have any news of Lucy?
Of course
Well, is my guardian angel going to say good bye to me?
But when you leave I loose my wings
Incidentally, that man of your better be good to you, thatīs all
If you ever need a friend remember, H. A. Barret
I will
When is the wedding? Youīll be sending an invitation, I hope
Of course but before weīre getting an engagement party. Tuesday at 9?
līll be there. Good bye my dear and God bless you
Thanks inspector
You said they were a gang. How did they get the girls?
Various ways such as the personal column
They looked for young girls that were attracted with promises and...
...luxury. They took them to another country with all the expenses paid
And when they land they get the deception
Some of then go into the best families as domestic service...
They told them what to do and they did it. And if the rebelled or talked...
...they disappeared permanently
Thank Goodness the case is closed - Itīs been the worse in my experience
I donīt think this case is closed Do you think a gang would deliberaly...
...warn Scotland Yard before each of its victims disappeared?
Do you think they would write poems copying the style of one of the most
...fantastic mad man that ever lived? Does that make sense for a gang?
līll think that weīll find many of the girls that are missing but not...
...any of the girls connected to our modern Bodelaire.
No gentlemen, weīre not trough
But sir you let Miss Carpenter go
Well, sheīs gain it She deserves to be happy
Charles take the parcels into living room area
Hello!
Hello Julian! My college and my conscience before I met you
Hello Julian
Hello Sandra
Robert is a very lucky fellow - Persistent
I canīt wait to know how you made her fall in love
Charming but rather expensive experience
Well, it seems incredible to be here with this two famous business men
And for a long time too. Right Julian?
Beautiful, really beautiful
Well, arenīt you coming in?
Sheīs trying to picture how the room will to look after sheīs rearrange it
līm not, not until Wednesday. I feel like līm barging in on you two
No, no, līm moving out to town
Youīre not leaving this house
My dear Sandra...
If our marriage is going to make your best friend homeless the deal is off
Oh really?
Wellī letīs discuss that over with a glass of Cherry
Miss. Miller, this is the future lady of the house, Miss Carpenter
Sheīll be using the guest room until Tuesday, before the reception. Would
...you take these parcels upstairs?
My engagement party dress is in this one, be nice when you hung it up
līll be careful, miss
We should toast to the bride Donīt you think?
But līm not a bride yet and līm very superstitious
Hereīs to Sandra
Gentlemen, I thank you
You donīt mind kissing your husbandīs partner from time to time, do you?
That depends on how many business partners you have
Julian, go ahead!
Do I have the ladyīs permission?
Thatīs all itīs required. Now Sandra I want to show you the house
An introduction to my new job?
Besides, I want to kiss you too
Damn it! - Excuse me sir?
The chief was right
Well, Gordons?
Itīs come sir. Another poem
The loveliest one reveals the tigerīs lair knowing not what estrange love...
...is locking in there. Wearing simmering stars and silken cloth...
...of blue, the lastīs death with who sheīll have...
...her rendez-vous. Līm afraid Gordons thereīs not much chance with
...this Bodelaire, either. Wearing simmering stars...
It looks like you walked through a shower of stars, doesnīt it, miss?
Thatīs how I feel. Līm having fun with this cloud līm travelling on
Mr. Fleming is a good man too, miss
Thank you miss Miller
Exquisite, beautiful. The stars of the dress are only opposed to...
My eyes? Thank you Julian Where is Robert?
He wonīt be long
Oh, he isnīt ready yet?
Should we wait in his study? Not everybody has this privileges
This is the one place he likes to call his own
I guess this settles that old question of who takes longer to dress
Robertīs a very vain person my dear and vanity takes time
Is that supposed to be news? Look at all the encouragement he had
Robert my dear I anticipate loving you for ever, your Margaret
Thatīs where Margaret made her first mistake. There it is another one
Donīt take it down, I wasnīt complaining
You might if you read this one, līm sure Robert would hung me for...
...showing you this special collection
līll go to see why heīs keeping you
Bad legs
Oh no!
Lucy!
Darling, people are arriving! Is here anything wrong?
Robert!
Tell me something
That I love you? Yes. Did you doubt it?
Did you know her?
This on the eve of my wedding with a house full of guest coming
No, am I supposed to know her?
I donīt know
Weīll postponed that on our agenda We wonīt talk about that now
Did I tell you how beautiful you look? I want to show you off. Come in
Pardon sir but Mr. Harold Temple has arrived. Should I take him to the...
Would you ask him to come in here please, heīs a friend of mine
līm so glad you could come My fiancée, Mr. Fleming
May I offer my felicitations to you both
I wonder if I could have a word with Sandra? Weīll join you in a minute
Yes, of course
Where did you get that gown?
This? In Loraineīs
Who was with you?
Robert and the chofer What are you driving at?
The loveliest one reveals the tigerīs lair knowing not what estrange love...
...is locking in there, wearing simmering stars and...
It looks like līm next, doesnīt?
Youīre wrong, Robert didnīt send this
Is that what you hint?
I hinted nothing. I presented you a fact, youīre in danger. This poem...
What is it Sandra?
No!
What is it? Have you discovered something?
Flemingīs desk?
But he has hundreds of pictures like this, they donīt mean anything!
And the bracelet?
līm sorry you two. Darling, everyone is here
Mr. Fleming, līd like to ask you a question. Where did you get this?
I? Thatīs not mine
It was in your desk
Please tell him why
What if I knew, you could probably buy those by hundreds in any shop
This belonged to one of eight girls who disappeared from London
Why should that concern me?
This is the girl who wore it
She was a friend of mine Weīve been trying to trace her
We?
Please try to understand, I was working with inspector Temple
Inspector
So thatīs what brought you to me? You certainly took me in
What made you decide to put her on my trail. Did I look dangerous?
Darling, it wasnīt that way!
She was only on the line of duty
I congratulate you on your skill of making love in the line of duty
How else could you have caught me right handed in my own trap
Oh Robert thatīs cruel
Thatīs complimentary, I admire you Youīve the evidence, the pictures,
...the bracelet, youīve everything except the eight girls
Mr. Fleming, līm afraid līm going to have to ask you to come with me
Robert just tell us where the bracelet came from
All right. I took it from the body of a girl that I murder. Believe it?
No, no Robert!
Look angel, the show is over, stop acting
Come on līm sure you have more than this to say
What do you expect me to say, you found some pictures on my desk so
you consider me to be an abductor of girls, a maniac hiding the bodies
Is this your typewriter? The machine with which the poems were typed
I said that before
Do you use paper of this kind, watermark Victoria?
My secretary buys the paper, I donīt know one kind from the other
The night of February the 3rd Louis Remington disappeared. Can you tell...
us where you were that night? It was Monday night. The hotel dinner bill...
...that night was singed at 8,37 pm, you left the hotel...
Do you pretend me to remember a night almost a year ago?
Youīll be surprised what a man can remember when itīs important
I donīt remember where I was on August the 10th, on July the 20th or...
September the 4th. Līve been going out every night for years.
Precisely and very clever too. A man whoīs seen out publicly night after
night doesnīt have to remember where he was, heīs already established a...
...carte blanche alibi for any night of the year
And what about the photograph of Lucy Barnard, found in your desk?
Same as the other 50. I donīt know this girls, I may have seen them,
talked or even hired them. You might find more pictures on my mail today
Thereīre pictures of Lucy Barnard Louis Remington, Arlette Torlinton
...y Sandra Carpenter. Each of them answered an add asking for īyoung
girl wantedī A photograph in every case was attached to the letter
Thatīs not my meted of meeting girls
No? These pictures were found in the files of your office
My office?
Yes Mr. Fleming. Your office
You met Miss Sandra at the concert through an advertisement...
Thatīs absurd. I made that up
Did you lie to her?
It seems Mr. Fleming that youīre capable of lying
- Why did you go to the concert that particular night?
I told you I was bored
But you told us earlier that you did not go to concerts
But thatīs a different kind of boredom
Indeed you knew Sandra Carpenter would be there
How could I possibly had known?
You advertised on the personal column as the music lover.
She answered that add Her answer was in your files
I happened to see her at the concert she was waiting for someone...
I was sitting right behind her
And sizing her up
She caught my eye, sheīs beautiful
I saw how a man sat next to her, she showed him a note and he left
I saw the perfect opening
So you could carry on with your plans
I had no plans, it was a coincidence
Coincidence, is it a coincidence that you own the same typewriter, is...
it a coincidence that certain keys are out of alignment?
Is it also a coincidence that you use Victoria paper? And of course itīs a
coincidence the pictures of the missing girls were in your possession...
They were found in your files
I donīt know how they got there! I donīt know
Well then I suppose itīs nothing but coincidence that on the last poem we
received describing the dress Sandra bought in your presence
your fingerprints were clearly marked
Thatīs my fingerprint?
Yes, Mr. Fleming, your fingerprint and we anticipate finding more
such evidence
Well, nothing here either all right, thatīs enough
Any luck?
No sir
Me neither!
Central calling inspector Barret
The chief says you can Bring the men back, heīs found something
All right
Thatīs all men!
īPoet killer believed to be at Bayī
Yes, she was strangled before she was put into the river
...not bruises, marks on throat and the distinct decolouration...
- Sheīs been in the water for at least 2 weeks, she was tied up to a rock
Thank you gentlemen, it must be the missing persons bureau
Temple speaking, do you have any pictures of the body? Did you check
the identification? And the name? Thank you
We had better luck taking her out of the river than digging in your guts,
Mr. Fleming take a close look at this please, did you know her?
No
I think you did. Her name was Lucy Barnard, does that help you?
No, līve never seen this girl But inspector you donīt think that...
Robert strangled that girl, and drown her and possibly many others
I never said I did, I said that everything thus far points to his guilt
You could establish his innocence if you could prove where he was in
February 3rd, April 17th, May 1st July 20th and August 10th
I can look in my records
Weīve already taken the liberty to look in your records
Thereīs no indication in your diary as Mr. Flemingīs nightly movements
However we know from it where you were. Incidentally Mr Willes,
why did you go to the concert that night?
līve been attending the concert every Monday night for years
I see, and Fleming just happened to go that night. And the
...rest of the evidence?
It couldīve been planned against Robert, every bit of it
Including his fingerprints on that poem that weīve seen?
That proves nothing either. Read that, now your fingerprint is on it
And yours, Mr. Willes?
līm glad you admit that, it proves my point. Someone couldīve tricked...
...Robert placing all those evidences on his desk and in his files
Who for instance?
A number of people. Some jealous woman, one of the many employees
his secretary, mine, one of the servants, the chofer even I
I thought of that too Mr. Willes Weīve questioned any number of
...posible suspects Did you plan the evidence?
What do you think inspector?
I think Fleming could do better than engaged you as his barrister
The simplest way for you to establish Flemingīs innocence is...
...to establish someone elseīs guilt Good night
Good night inspector
Miss Carpenter!
Itīs not useful Miss, he hasnīt changed his mind about seeing you
But he has to. I have to see him. this is all wrong
Let me go in please!
Hold on Miss, he has another visit in there anyway, one at a time
Who is in there?
Mr. Willes is
Have you been able to do anything?
līve got you the best counsel in England, heīll surprise Temple
Mr. Temple, youīd be frightened ltīs the evidence. How was he able...
to get it? All that evidence pointing to me, taken from my files even my
...own home. All carefully labelled with my name
Who would want this to happened to me? Līve spent an eternity here...
...trying to discover that but I canīt, Julian
You think līm guilty too, donīt you?
No, I donīt Robert. And I donīt think the evidence against you is conclusive
Is that also the lawyerīs opinion?
Well, not exactly. Listen Robert...
his opinion is that the evidence is fundable but merely circumstantial
I could be hanged on circumstantial evidence
You shouldnīt talk like you werenīt thinking!
The experts call it circumstantial I call it a rope around my head
Donīt loose your confidence. He might get you out with a life sentence
Life in prison I rather confess and had the rope
Robert! Robert! Robert! Robert let me talk...!
He despises me, Julian I saw it on his face
He doesnīt despise you Sandra. He doesnīt understand the circumstances,
is not you working against him
But I could make him understand if he only let me talk to him
Perhaps I can persuade him to see you He needs you badly of course
Yes?
How extraordinary Thank you for letting me know
Come in - Inspector Temple
Good morning Mr. Willes Are you free?
Of course, sit down
Thank you, līve been thinking about our discussion the other day
You gave me a different view of of the case
Really? In what way?
I came to the conclusion that you were right. Robert is not guilty
Good, līm glad you agree, I thought you said the facts were undisputable
Too much so, too many of them too perfect
Facts must have psychological symmetry but in Flemingīs case...
...they havenīt so they fall apart
What do you mean by that inspector?
Letīs take a Look at this fellow Fleming, heīs a healthy man, he lives
with the world. Heīs vain but what man attractive to women isnīt?
He has a temper, but who that has imagination and flair doesnīt
He has tremendous enthusiasm for life and people and heīs very honest
He envies no one. Heīs a great lover of beauty and he doesnīt make a big
...deal about that either, agreed?
Mr. Willes līve described the type of man who doesnīt commit murder
He doesnīt have to kill in order to win, our criminal does
līm afraid I canīt quite follow you... inspector
līll lead you. Our criminal is a man whoīs afraid to meet women openly
...and in the presence of others so he advertises
in the personal column, correct?
Perhaps
This man has no brilliant approach to a social existence, he lives a hiding
life, finds compensation by indulging himself with incredible fantasies
How could you know that?
By the poems, the imaginings of a man with grotesque ideas of romance
A man who finds his pleasure in destroying beauty rather than love it
Interesting
To this way of thinking, death is more beautiful than life
Unfortunately heīs compelled to express this thought
Come on inspector, thatīs a slim reason for murder
Mr. Willes. That kind of expression requires murder
I would never had suspected you had such a remarkable insight
Mr. Willes, may I have your copy of Bodelaire?
Bodelaire?
Yes
Thatīs a very unusual request,
This is a very unusual case Thereīs a quotation līd like to read
I donīt think I have a copy here
Seguro que lo tiene
Youīre right as usual, inspector
Thank you, letīs see
Letīs see, here we are!
Listen to this. īA shriving of death and beauty dyes the sky in red blood
The sun gives up his breath Donīt be be afraid to die, for beauty is
...still more beautiful in death The poems we received were written
in the same style, in fact our criminal must had copied Bodelaire
Very odd
Did Mr. Fleming have access to your books?
The door in our offices were never locked
Bur Mr. Fleming hasnīt the faintest idea who Bodelaire is, he never reads
it gives him nothing he couldnīt get from a womanīs smile
Do you follow my reasoning?
Yes, I believe I do
So we both know who the real murder it is
You seem to be playing cat and mouse game, inspector
Arenīt you enjoining too?
Yes, I am so letīs go on
I assume that you are hinting that I might be the murder
Very well then, weīll assume that I killed those 8 girls
The police had no clue, I was quite safe, why did I send the last poem?
That Mr. Willes is the one poem I couldnīt understand
Thatīs the critical point inspector, the crack of your case
I couldnīt understand until recently why you incriminated Fleming...
...itīs really simple, youīre in love with Sandra Carpenter
Yes I am I confess inspector
But youīd have a superb case theoretically of course
Incidentally it would be ridiculous to try to prove it in a Court of Law
Youīll make a great mistake if you under estimate the Courts
I confess you make me feel possibly guilty.
līd confess all this if it wasnīt for the fact I learned...
before you came into this room
What fact is that?
Donīt you know? Didnīt you come from your office?
No. Where are you trying to go?
Not even half an hour ago Robert Fleming confessed
Get me Scotland Yard Extension 4
Temple here, what about Fleming?
When?
Thank you
Mr. Willes I owe you the most objective and profound apology
Good day
Give me Mr. Corney, ltīs Willes
Corney? Ltīs Willes. Can you get me a space to Lisbon?
No, no, tonight, I canī t wait until tomorrow
Flight 16 midnight. Thanks Corney
- Yes, Mr. Willer? - Are you quite sure you order my cab?
Yes indeed, that must be it now
I couldnīt bear to be alone, Julian
I can stay here, canīt I Julian?
For just a little while
Of course
I have a cab waiting
You need to rest go upstairs and lie down, you need to rest Sandra
No. I want to talk to you I have to talk to someone
Robert wonīt let me go in and inspector Temple wonīt listen to me
I thought there was hope, Robert had no right to throw his life away!
He couldnīt compromise on a life in prison Sandra
Life with no beauty Thatīs why he chose death
Why should he die for a crime he didnīt commit
He confessed Sandra
He couldnīt have done it. Heīs so gentle with me. Heīs good Julian
A woman knows, she can tell by the touch a manīs hand
...by a kiss
Donīt think anymore Sandra Lay down and rest
līll dismiss the cab
Thank you Julian
But Julian, I thought you were going to send the cab away
Oh no Sandra, not yet! Not yet!
We should be needing it later
Why Julian? Why should we need it
To make our way together I didnīt want to go alone
Well then letīs go now
No. I wanted to talk to you alone like this for a long time
Sit down
Weīll be happy together for a while here
And then weīll go away
I want you to see the river in moonlight
You and me, thereīre so many things I wanted to say to you but Robert
wouldnīt let me say them, he hates me Did you know that? He always hated
me for my thoughts because līm cleverer than he is, he couldnīt
manage without me. Thatīs why he hated me. He always laughed at me
He thought he was going to have you too, Sandra
Right Sandra?
But nobody can take my sweethearts away from me
My beautiful Sandra
He canīt have you now!
Barret help! ĄBarret!
Barret, Barret!
Inspector, the door was locked
Itīs all right, the window was just as good
Inspector. Congratulations
Your timing was perfect
I was on guard with everyone but myself
- Open up!
Mr. Julian!
Itīs all right
Where is Mr. Willes going?
To prison madam It seems we arrested the wrong man
But Mr. Fleming confessed
That was our idea. One confession leads to another, at least thatīs what
...we tried, eh, Sandra? Poor girl
Are you saying that Mr. Fleming is coming home?
Yes, that is if Miss Carpenter can persuade him to
Do you think I can?
Of course you can My dear
Yes Mr. Fleming?
A bottle of Mummīs, 37 And two glasses
Welcome home darling welcome back
It was a rough trip for both of us
It was a nightmare but letīs not talk about it ever again
Your wine sir
Darling from now on...
...it will be all for love
Celebration!
