Please proceed to your gate about half an hour before take-off.
Your ticket.
Thank you. - You're welcome.
Destination? - New York.
We are boarding now at gate 11.
Is it non-stop? - Yes.
You'll land in New York at dinner time.
I'd like to change my ticket, is there a plane to Barcelona?
One moment.
You can fly to Barcelona directly, it's about an hour's flight.
D0 you want me to confirm it for you?
Yes, that'll be good, confirm it, please.
Here you go, Miss.
Your water, signora.
Thanks.
Dear passengers, you're kindly requested to fasten your seatbelts
and obey the no-smoking signs.
In a few minutes we'll be landing at the airport in Barcelona.
Thank you.
Gorgeous Barcelona!
Three million inhabitants, second biggest city in Spain,
and the capital of Catalonia! It is known as the pearl of the Mediterranean,
and with good reason: From Valencia to Barcelona in just six hours,
that's a nice trip, how do you like your Martinez? - Hooray for Martinez!
Thank you, thank you, no applause! Stop it, or I'll forget everything!
It's a brand new world after you've been in Spain!
Corning up on the left now is Barcelona's famous bull fighting arena.
There's no such thing in America, right?
Beautiful. Really charming.
That was the location of my old school, right over there where the bank is!
Please, Romi, no more stories!
Your old flat is now a hotel, your playground is now a parking lot...
You're driving me slowly nuts with that nostalgia!
Try t0 be a little more original! - Look, the cathedral!
You're just tired, otherwise you'll be interested. G0 t0 sleep.
On your left you can admire the Barrio,
on your right you can see the Santa Eulalia cathedral.
Hey, Reverend Bronson, don't sit there all by yourself, come up here!
What do you think?
Oh, thank you, maybe in a little while. All right?
Can you see better now? - Yeah, thanks.
Well, I guess you know who that is, don't you? The old Christopher Columbus!
You were taught that he was Italian, but I have news for you!
Yes, take it from your friend Martinez, Columbus was a Spaniard,
nothing but pure Spanish blood in his veins! - ls that true?
Don't know. Hey, Miss Stone, is he right?
Spanish or Italian, if you're asking me,
Christopher made a terribly big mistake.
America wasn't worth all that, right? - Oh my god, are you a communist?!
Here we are, all out!
Here's your key, sefior Hamilton. Sefiorita.
Thanks.
Buenos dias. - Buenos dias.
Mrs. Stone? Here you are.
Oh, Mrs. Stone, I almost forgot.
You had a phone call from Paris early this morning. - Paris, are you sure?
Oh yes. It was about ten o'clock.
I said you weren't expected until later. - Will they call later?
I don't know, I only spoke with the operator.
Hello.
Don't forget to spray the bed, you'll never know.
P9993', what happened?!
Okay, everyone, you have half an hour, then we're off to the Ramblas!
Oh, isn't that pretty? - Beautiful, darling.
Come on, there's lots to see.
Well, hello and good-bye!
Have you seen my granddaughter? - N0, not since the hotel.
When you see her, tell her I was looking for her!
Don't worry, she's just not a baby any longer!
If I catch her with a boy, she'll be in big trouble!
Reverend.
Excuse me, have you seen a young American girl?
She's quite tall and... cute. - N0, I didn't see her.
Thanks.
That's a great pose, Naiba, hold it!
D0 you like mums? - The flowers of death? I'm far from ready!
And smile!
Beautiful!
Come on! - N0, there's people!
Adiés.
See you tonight!
Is that your flow--
My 90am!
Paulette! Let's get out of here! Come on, Paulette.
Mark!
H0w'd you find me?
I can't tell you right away.
Qué pasa? - Poor thing.
Let's get away. Come on, this way!
Call the police!
I'll never forget the look of that eye socket...
That blue eye staring...
As if she was looking straight at me.
Yes, it was horrible, the best thing is to try not to think about it.
Here, drink this.
All right?
Why are you here, Mark?
Why complicate things between us?
Alma and I did nothing but argue the last 1O days in Paris.
So
I decided not to go back t0 America with her.
I told her I'd join her there in a few days,
instead I've come to Barcelona.
I wanted to see you again.
I need to have you near me.
N0, Mark, not under these conditions. I've already told you:
Your wife and I are going to compete only on an equal basis.
I just don't feel it's proper to take advantage of her ill health.
So until Alma's okay, please leave me alone. I can wait, Mark.
That is not true, and you know it.
The first time was a mistake, and it won't happen again.
I refuse to be a plaything to work for you
and to be in love with you.
It's just to difficult.
D0 you understand me? Say you do.
It won't be long.
Alma didn't go back to Burlington.
I convinced her t0 undergo some treatment in a New York clinic.
She's suffering from a nervous breakdown, that's all it is.
I'll talk to her when she's better.
She'll surely realize that the only possible solution is a divorce.
And until then?
What do you intend to do for now? - I'm staying with you.
All Burlington is here, think about your reputation.
That's a risk I prefer to take.
As of today, one more week as a policeman!
In a few days, this ex-cop is going t0 quit chasing criminals.
I'll be chasing fish!
Then it's your problem.
Your eagerness to sit in this chair is obvious.
Well, I suppose... I suppose I can't deny it, inspector.
When I was your age, I had to go on patrol.
I know, those were other times.
In those days, a cop had t0 learn on the streets.
We had no police academy. - Can you tell me something in regards--
Slow down, not so fast! There's still a week to go!
And a week can be a very long time.
Yes?
I'm listening.
Where, did you say?
The Ramblas?
Right, I'll be right there.
I mean to say: WE'LL be right there.
Did you ever witness an autopsy at that school where you went to?
The blade entered the abdomen twice from a high angle.
Those blows were inflicted with extreme violence, I'd say it was
the perforated liver as well as profound loss of blood abdominally that killed her.
And what about the mutilation of the eye?
Obviously she was tortured before she died. - Excuse me, doctor.
Are you saying the killer is a sadist? - That's possible.
What type of weapon was it? - It was a very sharp knife,
it had to be to do that, I'd imagine some sort of stiletto.
What have you got on the victim? - Her name was Pepita Barrero,
she was 18 years old, and her father owns a flower shop on the Ramblas,
just a stone throw from where she was killed.
No-one saw the murder? - N0, no-one,
just an elder American minister reported he heard the victim screaming.
Where is this minister? - If I'd only been there just a few seconds earlier,
I might have saved her. - You can imagine how worried I was!
Jenny had just disappeared without saying anything!
When I heard those cries from that poor girl, I really thought for a second...
There she is. - Who?
This is Mark Burton, he owns the company I work for.
We bumped into each other this morning.
It's a small world indeed.
Sit here, I'll make room for you. It's no trouble, I'll sit over there,
no inconvenience at all. - N0, please, reverend.
I can sit with my secretary at this next table.
N0, please, make yourselves at home. D0 as I say, sit here!
Please.
Are you from Burlington, too?
Not really.
I've lived there for several years, ever since I took over the presidency
of Murray and Sons.
S0, who is Murray? - Promotion.
What's that?
Publicity.
Let me see if I can give you an example.
You know the prizes and free gifts
you sometimes find in boxes of detergents in the supermarkets?
Well, they're all part of promotion.
I knew I knew that guy, it's Mark Burton!
What a coincidence, his wife and I went to school together,
I see her all the time back in Burlington.
Poor Alma, she wouldn't like it if she were to discover
that her husband cheats. - How can you say something like that, Mrs. Alvarado?
That young lady is only his secretary.
You want to bet on it?
Got it? - I'm not very hungry.
For you, sefiorita.
Here we are at the Tibidabo, the highest point of Barcelona.
Looking at Barcelona's sights in the rain really sucks!
Don't expect any changes in the itinerary, it's sacred...
Listen to you, you're bleating like a goat!
I agree with your granddaughter, I think it's ridiculous.
Apparently your boss thinks the same, he didn't even show.
He had t0 take care of some business, he'll join us later.
Lisa, are you going to try shooting even in the rain? - Sure.
I don't want t0 get pneumonia! - You won't.
Here we are, compliments from the house!
And mine? - Here!
Thanks. - That's yours. Sefior Hamilton.
Thank you. - Sefiorita Jenny.
Gorgeous color. - There's one for everyone.
Hurry, Jenny.
I'm here! - Come on, come on!
Hurry, everyb0dy!
It stopped raining!
Have you seen Martinez? - He was over there a while ago.
I'll get some more film from the bus, it's a pity to waste the weather!
Hey, let's go into the ghost train, it'll be fun! You wanna?
If you like. - You two have fun.
I'll get that roll of film, I'll meet you later.
Let's take these two! - Yeah!
My 90d, what's that?!
Where's my daughter? Where's Peggy?! - Don't let her come any closer!
What have they done to my daughter-- - Calm down, don't look!
Calm down, get a hold of yourself! Don't look! Don't look!
The two killings were clearly the work of the same murderer.
We haven't found it yet, but you can rest assured
that that maniac used the same weapon t0 murder to murder both girls.
I want to point out something important:
All of you are involved in these crimes.
Two murders in the same party is no coincidence.
The killer could just be one of you. - What are you saying,
it's absurd to think anything like that! No-one in our group is a maniac!
He's right, inspector, there's no-one in our group who'd commit a murder.
It's out of the question, it's crazy, he's mad, not one of us!
There was this case in Burlington, do you remember?
It was just over a year ago that a girl was found stabbed outside the factory!
Yes.
It was solved pretty quickly, it was a Vagabond, crazy,
a lunatic if ever there was one. - Don't get too upset.
I didn't accuse you.
Perhaps one of you could explain this object
that we found in the dead girl's hand.
Yours, isn't it?
Yes, it is. What a surprise to see it, I lost it yesterday, inspector!
Well, you had that thing this morning, I saw it!
I'm afraid you're mistaken. - He played tricks on all of us!
He loved to make Peggy scream, he takes pleasure in scaring people!
Then he stands there, practically pees laughing!
Inspector, it's like I told you - I lost the spider yesterday!
It's your word against hers, isn't it?
You better come along with us, we'll see who's lying.
Lara. - Take him down?
Yes. That'll be all for now.
One moment.
Are you traveling with this group? - This is inspector Tudela,
he's investigating Peggy's death.
N0, I'm Mark Burton. This lady is my secretary.
I'm in Barcelona on business. - Good.
I shall need to question you and the others at the same time.
Naiba dear, your Lisa's waiting! Don't you want to get into bed?
Just leave me alone, I don't feel like it tonight!
You're acting childish. Sure, what occurred was horrible,
but what's it got to do with us? - Peggy was your favorite in the group,
you think I didn't notice how you looked at her?!
You never missed a chance to talk t0 her, to touch and embrace her!
Oh, that's nonsense. - You got off on her, you liar!
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if she refused y0ur--
Come on, I'd like to hear this! - Just tell me: Where were you
when Peggy died in that tunnel?! - Bitch!
I'm sorry, Naiba. Naiba.
I didn't mean it. Forgive me.
I didn't mean it.
Come on, don't cry. Please.
What a rotten vacation, totally awful!
I just want get out of here, Romi!
The police have arrested the killer, my sweet love, it's over.
They're just questioning him, we don't know who did it!
They know what they're doing, love.
It's years that I planned this trip to Spain, and I'm not going anywhere
until I revisited the place where I was wounded during the war.
Wounded? I didn't know that. - I told you.
Bombardment near Madrid. - Where did they hit you?
In mY---
Right here, why?
Gail. What are you thinking?
Gail!
I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Hamilton, but my wife's too upset t0 sleep.
D0 you have a tranquilizer for her? - Yes, I have a bottle of Simpamina.
Come inside, I'll get it for you.
I ran out of safety blades.
Yes, hello?
New York is 0n the line. Speak up, please.
St. George Clinic, how can I help you?
I'd like to speak to Mrs. Alma Burton.
This is her husband. - One moment, please.
I'm sorry, but Mrs. Burton is not a patient at the clinic.
She was due here on the 8th, but she cancelled out.
Hello? Did you hear me? - Yes, I heard. Thanks.
She's not there.
Yes, hello? - Finished with your call to New York?
Yes, thank you.
Oh, Miss?
Could you get me Burlington, Vermont, please?
What number, please?
234...
...6251.
Hold on please, I'll dial directly.
How do you read it? Why didn't she got to the clinic?
I don't know.
It's ringing, sir.
I'm sorry, sir, they don't answer. - Thank you.
Strange.
She's not home either.
I really don't see any reason t0 worry like this.
She changed her mind at the last minute and didn't want to enter the clinic.
And she left the house for a while, what's so strange about that?
I hope you're right. - Come on. Tell me what you're worried about.
It's an absurd idea.
I'm sorry, it isn't even worth mentioning.
Hey, you!
You just wait a minute! What are you doing here, it was you, wasn't it?!
I'll fix you, you filthy murderer, I'll fix you!
What happened, Paco? - He killed Pepita, I'll call the police!
Mr Burton. Mr Burton!
What good fortune I ran into you!
There was a message for you, someone called the hotel after you left.
Said it was most urgent. Here.
I wrote it down.
I took it along because your secretary had stepped out of the hotel too.
"Your wife, Mrs. Burton called. She is waiting for you at the hotel Presidente
in Barcelona, room 108."
Thanks, reverend. See you later!
Thanks.
Mrs. Alma Burton, please.
Suite... 108.
Evidently there's an error, the guest in 108 is a signora Foster.
I'm sorry, perhaps you got the wrong hotel.
Of course, how stupid of me! Burton is her maiden name.
Would you announce me? - Who must I say'?
Her husband.
In this case, please go right up. Pardon sir, no telephoning necessary.
Thanks.
Alma?
Hello?
Hello!
A bit later, the whole group is meeting up at the MontjuTc fortress.
Are you coming?
Maybe, I don't know.
Mark, what is it? I'd like to know what's going on!
You're acting strangely, I d0n't-- - Please, don't ask any more questions.
I'll tell you everything later at the right time.
Well, at least you do admit that you're hiding a dark secret.
But Mark, I want you to confide in me.
Look, I'm aware that this is a difficult time for you.
I want to help not hinder, if only you'd trust me!
You could tell me where you went today!
It's not too much to ask, I think you owe me at least an explanation!
I've told you I've had enough of this cross examination!
I tell you there's nothing to explain!
Beautiful day, isn't it?
You work too hard. Here. - N0, no!
Eat up. You're hungry, aren't you?
Have you seen Mr. Hamilton? - N0, I'm the first one here.
To be honest, I was wondering where my husband disappeared to,
but I'll tell Mr. Hamilton you were looking for him! - Thanks.
What is it?
What happened, tell us! - Our maniac has struck again.
Romi, what happened to you?
You were saying? - There's nothing more to tell you.
The girl was over by the fountain washing clothes, she wore a miniskirt.
I said something to her and I guess I took her hand,
it was a mistake, okay, I admit it. She got mad and scratched my hand.
Yes, and immediately afterwards the young woman is not to be f0und..
And no-one else around here knows the girl. Now that's strange.
If not impossible.
Inspector, if you think I'm guilty, put me under arrest.
But explain to rne why on earth I'd be so likely to gouge out that girl's eye,
and Peggy and the girl on the Ramblas! It's absurd!
Maybe.
But you story of the girl in the miniskirt is equally difficult to believe.
Whatever.
Hold on, inspector.
Since he killed her in that mud hole, wouldn't the killer have
the gunk all over his shoes? - Probably yes.
A little while ago at the fort, Paulette was cleaning her shoes in the fountain.
They were covered with mud, just like those of your assistant.
May I see those shoes, Miss Stone, if you don't mind?
Here you are.
It was hot and I always carry a pair extra,
so I put those away and put on the others.
And you washed the first pair in the fountain? - Of course.
Otherwise I would have gotten my new bag all dirty.
We could check them scientifically,
they could easily trace the mud on them. Should we give it a try?
Lara, that's a pretty good idea.
But unfortunately, it only takes a little walk
t0 get a pair of shoes dirty.
And I don't believe the dirt around here is so special
that it'll lead us on the right track.
Right, Lara?
Inspector.
None of us could have killed those girls, I'm sure of it.
The murderer isn't one of us.
How you can be so dead sure I'd certainly like to know.
Hello. I'd like to talk t0 Mrs. Foster.
She left about an hour ago, sir. - Left?
But she only arrived this morning.
Apparently the lady had urgent business in New York.
I booked the flight myself. - What flight?
The Pan American flight at 5:55.
You're her husband, aren't you? - Yes, why?
Sefiora Foster left this in her suite.
Thanks.
Excuse me! What boarding gate for the New York flight?
Gate 3. - 3. There?
Attention, please. Mrs. Foster,
traveling on Pan American flight 626 to New York,
please proceed to gate 3. I repeat.
Mrs. Foster, please proceed t0 gate 3 immediately.
Yes?
All right.
You're welcome.
Excuse me, what about Mrs. Foster?
Mrs. Foster has canceled her flight.
When? - Just now, she called here herself.
D0 you know where she was calling from? - No, she didn't say.
I'm sorry. - Thanks.
Mark!
Are you leaving too? - N0, I'm seeing the Randalls off.
First class. Direct, if possible.
Those poor people, I'm so sorry for them.
Oh yeah.
Just a moment. Take a look at that photo.
I must say you're really photogenic.
Take a good look at the woman, not at me.
Who is she? - That's not important.
Lisa, would you please help me?
Yes, but I don't get you-- - Listen.
There's only one chance in a thousand.
But we've got to try it.
You're a professional.
I'm sorry, Mark, but I don't follow this.
That woman.
Look at her very carefully, I want you to memorize that face,
do you understand, Lisa? That woman is in Barcelona.
If you should meet her or recognize her on the street,
you must take a picture.
That's all I can tell you at the moment.
But why should I meet her?
Because it's possible that she might come to our hotel.
You promise to help me?
And not a word to anybody.
Has it something t0 do with these killings?
Where have you been all day?
I was certainly not staring at some laundresses' hips.
Where... where are the matches from?
Where else, the place I get my hair done!
They're from the hotel Presidente. Listen, Gail, don't lie to me.
It so happens that the hotel Presidente
has the best hairdressing salon in Barcelona!
Get out of here, and don't forget what I told you.
Don't worry, inspector, eyes and ears will be open.
Yeah, you really can trust me, I'm with you, thanks, thanks!
Come on, get out.
It was a mistake to arrest him.
Isn't that what you're thinking?
Well, I wouldn't put it like that... - But I would.
That left eye... surely it means something, wouldn't you say?
Lara, even the craziest of killers follows a certain logic.
However absurd or crazy - there's always some logic to it.
You might think that I'm stupid, but the underlying symb0lism--
Oh, symbolism!
Is that what they taught you in that school?
You continue to search for that murder weapon.
The mayor wants results, and I'm getting heat from the American tourism agency.
Apropos sir, since they're all Americans,
I think we should request a curriculum vitae on each member of the group.
We could probably find out something useful that way. - Already clone.
I spoke yesterday with the secretary at the consulate,
a certain Mr. Williams.
You see I went up on you. - Inspector, I didn't mean to--
I know you didn't mean t0 suggest anything.
I'm just an ageing cop, it's only bad luck that these murders
are happening right now. A week later and I
wouldn't have anything to do with it.
Come in.
Am I disturbing you? - N0, not at all, on the contrary.
I had the feeling I was being avoided.
Oh please.
Are we going to start all over again like yesterday?
Yes, you're right, I'm sorry. We're so nervous, all of us,
we're out of our skins, and much worse, we've even begun
to fight, to hate each other and suspect everyone is guilty.
Are you talking about Gail Alvarado? - I'm so sick of all of it.
Never to have come here, that's what I wish.
If only I were home again, home in Burlington.
D0 you remember
what happened about a year ago near my home in Burlington?
Yes.
Hamilton mentioned it the other night.
That schoolgirl, Terry Moore, she was killed in exactly the same way.
I'd forgotten that poor girl was killed right in your neighborhood.
Did you know her?
N0.
This happens everywhere, but in that case they caught the killer immediately.
He was a tramp, an alc0holic--
He'd already committed suicide just when they were about to arrest him!
Listen to me, Paulette.
And don't interrupt me.
That man was clearly innocent.
I was already having trouble with Alma,
even though nothing had happened between you and me.
Her nerves were raw.
She knew she could never have any children,
it made her even more jealous, she used to get hysterical
and she'd faint.
D0 you remember?
I was out of the office a lot at that time, and that day, I went home earlier.
The news of the murder had just spread.
They were looking for the killer.
I was driving a Pontiac then, remember?
I entered the driveway to the garden.
I was about to drive into the garage,
when I saw somebody lying by the swimming pool.
It was Alma.
Unconscious.
And then I saw
she was holding a dagger in her hand, covered with blood.
Yes, a dagger covered with blood. And on the ground next to her
was a human eye.
It was a nightmare.
I remember that I cleaned the dagger and put it back in its place in a drawer
in my study.
And than I dragged Alma bodily up to her room.
It was 2:00 in the afternoon. The murder had been discovered a half-hour earlier,
about a hundred yards down the road.
But no, it's absurd, she couldn't do such a thing, and besides, this is Barcelona,
Alma is in America! - She isn't.
Alma's here in Barcelona.
Have you seen her? - Not yet, but I know she's here.
Yes?
All right, I'll be right down. Thank you.
Paulette, listen.
I've got to go around to the consulate.
Give me till tomorrow and I'll explain everything. All right?
All right, Mark.
Oh yes, and I'd stay away from that Mrs. Alvarado, if I were you.
Finished, Lisa? Come on, I wanna dance with you!
I told you earlier I didn't feel like going dancing!
But we used to go dancing all the time and you did say you'd take me!
Listen, Naiba, I promised that I'd take you to a discotheque
and listen to the music, so do me a favor and don't complicate things!
I don't understand your sudden mania to go dancing after all what happened!
D0 you think it's more fitting to stay in our room and wait for the murderer?!
If you don't want to dance,
you shouldn't be the least surprised that I take a look around for another partner!
Naiba, is that you? I want to see you in the bedroom.
It's the only place to make up.
Lisa, are you still mad at me? Can I come in?
Listen, I want--
Gail.
Where are you?
Gail? Gail!
Have you seen my granddaughter? - N0, why, what happened?
I don't know, I heard a scream.
What happened? - Lisa Sanders has been murdered!
Call the police! - Yes!
Stay calm.
Romi!
There was someone in the garden, out there in the bushes! - I'll have a look.
Call the police, hurry!
Hurry!
Over there!
Look here!
Blood.
This way.
Remember, no-one is t0 be allowed near her!
Don't worry, sir, there'll be a special guard.
You say you were reading in your room
when you heard the young lady scream. - Yes, I dashed out
t0 see what was happening.
Miss Sanders door was open, and...
Did you meet anyone in the corridor? - N0, no-one.
And you didn't notice anything that might be of use t0 us?
N0, nothing in particular.
Now, would you tell where you were at the time of the crime?
Well, I couldn't sleep and I didn't want t0 wake Romi,
so I put a robe on.
I felt like a smoke and a walk out in the garden.
On my way back I saw someone run out of the hotel headlong into the bushes.
Did you recognize him?
I couldn't see, it was too dark.
I couldn't see too well in the dark anyway. This person looked like
a big cat, a big red sort of crimson cat.
Huh. Well, I'd say that's interesting.
Very.
And you, young lady? What were you doing in the garden at that hour?
Now wait a minute, you can't be asking--
Asking questions, Mr. Hamilton, is part of my job.
D0 you mind remaining quiet, please? Now Jenny, come.
Answer me.
I sneaked out of the hotel, there's a discotheque near here.
I see. Would you mind trying this on, Jenny?
Oh please! - Would you help, please.
Excuse me, but that raincoat is just one of the many
that our company provided t0 all the passengers,
when it rained last Sunday. - All the passengers?
The rain in Spain, so we always have at least 40, 45 at hand,
and they're all the standard measure.
S0 you've all got red raincoats.
N0, I got rid of mine just yesterday morning.
I don't have one either.
I've lost mine.
And yours?
I never had one.
I didn't go to the fun fair with the others, I met them later.
I left mine on the bus.
Here's my raincoat, inspector.
Arpége!
Arpege? - Yes, I recognize the scent, it's Paulette's favorite!
What are you suggesting?! Are you suggesting I'm a--
Murderess!
The explanation is simple.
It's because sefiorita Stone used her perfume as a smelling salt
for Peggy's mother when she fainted on the way back t0 the hotel.
I bumped into her accidentally
and the bottle spilled all over the pile of raincoats.
All right, now listen.
All of you.
I'm sorry but I've got to request you turn in your passports.
No-one shall be allowed to leave the country,
until this case is solved.
Don't you feel well?
I find funerals depressing. I know it sounds ridiculous,
but the perception of not being immortal terrifies me.
It's not only that, Paulette, there's something else.
Please, Paulette. Come on, tell me the truth.
Perhaps it's your Burlington story.
Nothing happened there.
I guess it's because you didn't tell me the truth about
that girl who was killed in Burlington, Terry Moore.
You must have known her, her father cured Alma of her lumbago.
And besides, her house was just down the road! - All right!
S0 I might have seen her once or twice, okay?
So I knew her but it's like the milkman,
or the policeman who directs the traffic at the corner,
or the clerk in the drugstore!
D0 me a favor, will you?
Don't think such stupid things! - Okay.
The subject's taboo.
I'm more interested in Alma, what'd you learn about her?
Did you try calling her again?
Shall we go right back, or do you want t0 soak up some sun?
Any news, inspector?
Miss Naiba is still in shock, her physician wants her to stay at the clinic.
What about us, inspector? How long must we stay
cooped up like prisoners in that little hotel? I can't stand it any longer,
I want to return to America!
I assure you I understand, I'm sure we're all exhausted.
I have no problem with you changing your hotel,
but I don't see why you should, it's better than most here.
Excuse me, inspector, today's program calls for a visit to Sitges.
Can we go or do we have to stay in the city? - Make the trip.
Sitges is a small town.
I'll see you supplied with protection, as your sefior Burton
requested at the consulate.
That's a waste of your good officers.
I ask you to leave this case to the proper authorities, show al little faith!
'Cause the police are closer t0 solving it than you think!
There's one son of a bitch who'd never get my vote in any election!
D0 you think Naiba will recover enough t0 rejoin us soon? - Sure.
Maybe tomorrow.
We're here.
A roll of film...
I bet it belonged to poor Lisa. I wonder what's on it.
Give it to me, I'll take care of it.
I just want to make sure that it gets to Naiba.
She'll be delighted to get it I'm sure.
What day is today? - Friday, inspector, Friday the 19th.
Three more days, and you'll be out catching fish. - We better get a move on.
We've got t0 find out why Lisa Sanders was killed.
But why? It's the same murderer, so his motives must have been the same.
N0, no, you're wrong, man! This case is different.
H0 can you compare it with the others? The other two girls
had their left eye removed, they were sadistic murders.
The photographer however was the only victim not to lose an eye.
That wasn't a sadistic murder! - But aren't you forgetting
that Naiba interrupted the murderer? - Could be.
But I don't think that's why.
That woman got killed for a different reason. - What?
Supposedly Lisa Sanders had come across, I don't know, just for instance...
She may have stumbled across a clue that could implicate the murderer.
And the killer new it, and the woman simply had t0 die.
But stumbled across what? - That's just it. Come in!
Inspector, the American consul sent it by hand.
It's all in English!
It's the information you requested on that group.
Hamilton, Alvarado, Bronson... - What does it say?
One moment.
We got a real bomb here. Listen to what they got on that Mark Burton!
But Mark, why don't you tell it all to the inspector?
Yes.
It's easy to say that. It's just a doubt I had to start with.
An atrocious doubt I didn't dare think about.
But what about later, when you knew without any doubt that she was here.
What can I prove? Alma checked into that hotel
under a false name.
I can't prove that it was her.
What about the picture? And the dagger?
N0, no.
That won't prove anything. - Why not?
I could have brought them here myself.
My initials are on that dagger, it's mine.
You must put an end t0 this terrible nightmare regardless of the cost.
Sometimes I get the feeling that s0me0ne's helping her.
Someone who's following a precise plan.
You think there's an accomplice?
I don't know.
Mark? Can I ask you something of a rather personal nature?
Is it possible that your wife has another man? - I wondered about that, too.
It's only a theory of course.
But it would explain a lot.
Certainly not all those horrid killings.
For instance, it could be a frame-up, couldn't it?
I know it sounds crazy.
Maybe it's a jealous colleague!
Victor Sleazer, for example! Or the Sattler corporation!
Don't be silly.
You haven't seen Alma in Barcelona, and no-one else has seen her!
Someone did see her and lost her life because of it:
Lisa Sanders!
And the photo that disappeared, only Alma could have done that!
One thing still doesn't convince me.
One little detail regarding Alma in Burlington...
I can't put it together, itjust doesn't make sense!
Come on. There's no point in this self-torture!
You're right. That won't solve this problem.
Listen, I'm going down to Barcelona right away t0 see the inspector.
37,4 - it's going down.
You look better.
I'm so tired, I hope I can get a little sleep tonight.
Take one of these.
This pill will put you right out.
D0 you need anything else? - N0, thanks.
Good night.
Is she alright? - Yes.
Okay, I agree. - Good evening.
Yes?
Excuse me, I wonder if I could visit a young lady,
Naiba Levine.
Yes, she's in room 29. But you'll need to get permission
to go in, it's so late. Please wait here.
Sergeant. - Yes?
The young lady has a visitor, a priest.
I told him I have to ask. - Okay, I'll talk to him.
Let's go. - Yes.
But he was here a second ago! Reverend?
Reverend! That's odd, he left the flowers, and...
A priest, you said? - Yes, I think he was English.
Or American, an old fella wearing a collar.
Get me police headquarters on the phone, will you?
That booth over there.
I brought her a box of sweets and I was in such a hurry,
well, I guess I forgot it, so I went back to the store.
I must say that's a coincidence. How convenient!
You returned to the hospital only minutes after the killer fled.
It's just as I told you. - I see.
That grey suitcase, may I examine it?
Why are you carrying an empty suitcase? - You see, it's new.
I bought it today, about two hours ago,
on a store down the Diagonal. As a matter of fact,
you can still see the price I paid here on the tag.
Thank you. - May I return to Sitges now?
I have a taxi awaiting me, you know. - Really?
Is the meter ticking? - As long as you no longer need me...
N0.
N0 further questions.
How is she?
Much better. A bit of rest ought t0 do the job. - Good.
May I question her? - Sure.
Now then, tell me, dear.
Did you see his face?
Were there any identifying marks? - Red, all in red!
Red raincoat, I suppose you mean.
I understand.
You just stay here. Get some sleep, we'll talk tomorrow.
I found the window open, I guess he got in that way.
Any traces? - They combed the shrubbery.
There were no footprints anywhere. - What's the time?
It's 11230.
Telephone immediately inspector Lara.
Say that priest should get there in a quarter of an hour.
No-one may know what occurred here, understand?
Of course, inspector.
Flamenco is not only a spectacle, it's an art form!
You can't come t0 Spain without seeing it at least once in your life!
But under the circumstances I don't think you can! Can you?
It's midnight in twenty minutes, now what do you say?
Are you in?
It might do us some good, only...
It's my wife, I'm waiting for her. She had to return to Barcelona
because she forgot something at the hotel. She should be back any moment.
You three are up to no good, I can see that! What is it?
Fancy a little Flamenco? - Three men and one woman?
I'll be outnumbered, why don't you ask pretty Paulette?
Pretty Paulette, why of course!
I'd like to talk t0 room 46. - Miss Stone is resting,
she left a message she didn't want t0 be disturbed.
Never mind.
Well?
Beauty sleep! - Good evening.
Good night. - See you tomorrow.
Reverend Bronson, why don't you join us?
N0, no, thanks, dear.
Hello? - Yes?
Can you tell me whether sefior Burton is in the hotel?
N0, he hasn't returned yet.
Did anyone leave a message for me? - Yes, sefior Martinez.
Thank you, buenas noches.
Keep the change. - Thank you, sir.
Have you seen reverend Bronson? He is wanted on the phone.
He was in the lobby, I guess he went upstairs.
He's not in his room. - I don't know where he is, sorry.
Thank you.
I'm going to go and see if my wife has arrived.
I'll be right back.
I think I'll go off t0 bed, okay?
Sure, dear.
Night!
Help!
Help!!
Hurry!
Can't anybody hear me?! Help!
Don't let him get away, hurry!
It's okay now. Here, I'll give you a hand!
Come on.
It's alright now, nothing more will happen to you.
Freeze! - Let go of me! Let g0!!
Feeling better? - Jenny!
Stay quiet. - Jenny!
Jenny, my darling girl! Please forgive me!
Are you alright? - Don't worry, pops, it's just a little scratch.
Take her to the hospital, sefior, I'll send a police officer with you.
I'll go too, inspector.
Here we go.
This is ridiculous!
He was sneaking around, and we found this on the ground.
Listen, inspector Lara. I was just about to catch the murderer
when this idiot leaped on me! - Can you explain
why your initials are on this weapon, sefior?
Incredible.
You'll rank in Jack the Ripper's league!
Two attacks in just four hours!
I've told you I was nowhere near that clinic!
I came t0 Barcelona to see you.
Yes, to regale me with that absurd story about Burlington, your wife,
the hotel Presidente and your dagger.
Most interesting, but certainly not true. I don't buy it.
I've already told you.
Alma lost all her self-control.
She was desperate, she hated younger women. - No.
I can believe that she was desperate
for having stumbled across your mania.
Your lust for sadistic murder!
That young woman who was killed in Burlington, what have we got on that?
Terry Moore and Mark Burton
had an affair.
That's a downright lie!
Terry was my doctor's daughter.
All right, so maybe she was a little infatuated with me, but that's all!
Get her.
Thanks for coming. I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
Please, sit down. - Thank you.
Forgive me, but I must ask an indiscrete question.
D0 you recall the clay of the killing of the girl in Burlington?
Yes.
By then, had you entered into intimacy, the two of you? - Yes, inspector.
But not in the way you're suggesting. - I understand.
It comes as no surprise I guess that Terry Moore and Mr. Burton
were having an affair.
N0.
I didn't know that, I never knew that girl. - That'll be all.
You can go now.
Paulette, listen!
There was never anything between Terry and myself, you have to believe me!
Now listen to me, young man. Confess!
Don't insult us with this ridiculous tale, your strange jet-setting wife
and all that stuff, come on!
Then where is she if she's not here?
Maybe she preferred sunny Florida to sunny Spain.
Reverend Bronson. - Thank you.
Here are yours, Mr. Hamilton. - Thanks.
Feeling better? - Yeah.
Alvarado? - Finally.
You book the flight? Try to get us a plane direct tomorrow morning,
I got t0 see my analyst. - What a surprise to see you, Miss Stone!
I can't understand why you aren't keeping Mr. Burton company in prison!
What are you talking about? - Tell that monster I hope he croaks,
it'd be a pleasure for me t0 see him gassed!
Are you absolutely sure that he was the monster? Did you recognize him?
You might ask the inspector that!
It was wrong to speak that way, Naiba.
After all, it isn't up to us to judge.
It's not due t0 us. - Anyway, he's the murderer!
Wait!
Let me tell you, I'm not completely convinced of his guilt.
If you want to know - I think that the clue
t0 the killer's true identity was buried in a tomb with poor Lisa.
I don't understand. What do you mean?
You were as close as two women could get. Maybe she found something.
Surely she'd have told me. - That film on the bus could be interesting.
They'll deliver the photos any moment. - Listen to me.
I want you t0 search through her things.
We don't know who killed her yet, but if you go through her things carefully,
you might find something that you've missed before.
Reverend, do you suspect anyone in particular?
Hello? Hello, Burlington?
Yes, I'll hold.
Is this the Bur--?
Oh, there's nobody answering.
Very well, cancel the call.
Ah, sefiorita!
Sefiorita!
I want to talk to the best lawyer in Barcelona.
Ask somebody!
This is the man, Inspector. - Hello.
Sit down.
D0 you recognize this man? - Yes, sir, I do.
From where do you recognize him?
The hotel Presidente, he was looking for his wife there a few days ago.
I remember there was a little confusion about the name,
but I allowed him upstairs to the lady's room.
Can you describe her? - She was a beautiful woman.
Is that her?
Was that the woman?
She resembles her, only I'm not sure.
You know how it is, we see so many people... - That'll be all.
You're free t0 go now, you remain at our disposition however.
Of course.
Well, are you satisfied? D0 you believe me now, inspector?
D0 you recall what color her eyes were, the late Terry Moore?
Of course. Grey-blue.
Well, inspector, lwas right.
Well...
The three women that were killed here in Barcelona,
they all lost an eye of the same color. Interesting, don't you think?
Inspector.
The report on the injuries sustained by Jenny Hamilton.
As you can see, there are similarities in comparison to the other cases.
The blows were struck in rapid succession by the right hand
from a high angle. Here, I'll demonstrate.
See? They came with great force down from this angle.
Alma is left-handed!
She would never have held that dagger in her right hand!
That's a good point! They were all murdered by a right-handed person.
S0 there's no way that your wife could have committed the crimes.
Someone put the dagger in her hand...
The real killer.
Of course!
Paulette was right! This absurd story about Alma
was just a frame-up to let suspicion fall on me!
Someone from Burlington...
Listen to me, Mr. Burton. This box here
contains the eyes removed from the victims.
Form, color, it's all accurate.
I want you t0 look at them.
Of course it's just a lifelike replica made of glass.
Glass...
Yes, my god...
What a fool I was not to realize it when I opened up that drawer,
they're identical, identical to these!
I saw them at the killer's home.
Inspector.
Let's call Burlington!
Come in.
Good day, this was delivered for you. - Thank you.
Reverend Bronson!
Have you seen Reverend Bronson?
He said he was going sightseeing, he wanted to go to the castle, he said.
How do I get there? - It's easy.
It's on the hill overlooking the town.
You can't miss it. - Thanks.
This way. - Okay.
Excuse me? ls this your photo?
Oh yes, yes, thanks. It must have fallen out of--
I'm sorry, Miss.
I don't mean to stare at you, but you...
What?
You resemble very much someone who was once very dear to me.
Really?
Yes.
This is she.
The girl 0n my left.
It struck me when I looked at you:
Your eyes are the same color as my daughter Martha's.
Is your daughter with you?
She's dead. She died a few months ago.
Let's g0!
Come on, boys and girls! - Yeah!
On the bus!
Reverend Bronson!
Reverend, here!
Hello, headquarters.
This is inspector Tudela. Any news?
N0, sir. Except it wasn't possible t0 contact that person in Sitges.
How come?
The person in question left the hotel about half an hour ago.
Probably on the way to the castle right now.
Any other orders, sir? - N0, nothing for now.
N0, no!
Yes!
It was I who killed those girls and the one back in Burlington!
Their eyes...
They always drove me crazy, those eyes!
I was like them once! I was like you!
Before this friend of mine ripped out my eye playing doctor with me,
leaving an empty socket!
Elionor had the bluest eyes in the world!
She was never punished!
I had to punish her!
Don't look at my eye!
I said don't look at my eye!! - N0, Paulette! Let her go!
You've already caused enough harm.
It's over.
N0, no!!
Get out 0f here or I'll kill her! - It wouldn't be any use.
Just as it wasn't any use stealing my dagger and the photo,
and passing yourself off as Alma at that other hotel.
Just give UP!
It's over.
Are you okay? - Yes.
Paulette.
You saved my life. - You took quite a risk.
The revered told me t0 look for proof, he suspected Paulette
after having seen her outside the clinic the night I was attacked.
And Paulette, who somehow knew she was in danger,
followed the revered here and quieted him for good.
Mark.
Thank you, Mark. I was so stupid.
D0 you forgive me?
Burlington on the line, go ahead.
Hello? ls that you, Mark? - Alma, darling, is it you?
At last!
I'm sorry, Mark. I lost my courage, I couldn't go into that clinic
in New York, so I flew down t0 visit my mother in Florida.
It was good for me, I really feel much better.
I'm your husband, you don't have to explain anything. - Listen.
I don't know why I did it,
but the time in Paris really made me wonder.
That's why I booked a flight to Barcelona.
S0 you were in Barcelona... - Only at the Barcelona airport.
I lost all my courage and took the next plane out.
I guess I am a baby. Anyway, I've been thinking about our problems,
how unhappy I've made you, and I guess the only answer is divorce.
I love you, Mark. But I don't want t0 keep 0n ruining your life.
N0, Alma, we've both made mistakes.
But perhaps it isn't too late for us... - Sefior Burton.
We're here t0 wish you a nice trip.
Thanks, inspector.
Good luck.
Oh, by the way:
When you arrested me, you said my wife was probably in Florida.
How did you guess that? - Oh, that was easy.
About two hours earlier that morning a colleague from Interpol called.
I had asked him to locate your wife. Simple, isn't it?
Hey, what day is today? - Sunday.
You solved the case just in time, inspector. - Yeah.
I really think I'll enjoy the fishing.
Well...
Now it's all yours, son. Good luck.
Inspector Lara.
Thank you.
