In London, Italian gym teacher Enrico 'Henry' Rosseni is having a love affair with his 18-year-old student Elizabeth, who is the niece of the owner of the Catholic school where he works and she studies. His estranged wife Herta is the Music and German teacher. One day when Enrico and Elizabeth are in a boat in a grove, she sees a man hunting down a woman. Enrico believes she's making it up, but the next morning, he learns that a teenager was murdered in the river bank in the grove. Inspector Barth goes to the school since the victim Hilda studied there, and Enrico is soon the prime suspect, though Elizabeth could give him an alibi. When a second student is murdered, and then so is Elizabeth, Enrico decides to investigate, and he teams up with Herta to find the of the mysterious Solange, but what happened to Solange?

00:00:20♪
00:00:27Why not?
00:00:28I want to, Enrico.
00:00:30Just as much as you want me to.
00:00:33But not like this.
00:00:37You love me, but you don't trust me.
00:00:40Is that it?
00:00:41No.
00:00:42Everything will be all right.
00:00:45Believe me.
00:00:47It's just a question of time.
00:00:51Elizabeth, I want to make you happy.
00:00:57♪
00:01:02♪
00:01:07♪
00:01:12What is it now?
00:01:13Over there, on the bank.
00:01:14I saw someone.
00:01:15Oh, for heaven's sake, Elizabeth.
00:01:18What do you care, eh?
00:01:20Nobody can see us.
00:01:22Some lover I must be if you would rather watch this scenery.
00:01:26I'm sorry.
00:01:29I'll close my eyes and you can try again.
00:01:32Try again?
00:01:33Hmm.
00:02:02♪
00:02:10Oh!
00:02:11What is it?
00:02:12There!
00:02:13It was a knife!
00:02:14I saw it!
00:02:15I saw it!
00:02:16What will you see next?
00:02:18You have an excuse for everything.
00:02:21It's all the fault of that damn uncle of yours
00:02:24who insisted on sending you to that stupid Victorian school.
00:02:28There is always some do or don't
00:02:30to keep you from acting like a normal girl.
00:02:34Come on.
00:02:35Get up.
00:02:38Now, where is it?
00:02:39Did it fly away?
00:02:41What kind of knife was it?
00:02:42Was it a long one with a handle?
00:02:44A dagger, perhaps?
00:02:45A sword?
00:02:46The archangel Gabriel come to punish you for your sins, I swear.
00:02:48Shut up!
00:02:51You're so cruel sometimes.
00:02:56Button up your blouse, Elizabeth.
00:02:58And please stop crying.
00:03:02My uncle and the school have nothing to do with it.
00:03:06I saw the flash of a knife.
00:03:09I saw it, really.
00:03:11And it wasn't my imagination.
00:03:17Take me home.
00:03:20Now, please.
00:03:21Now, please.
00:03:51Now, please.
00:04:21Here is the 7.30 news.
00:04:23The meeting of the International Eurotun was closed last night
00:04:26with the acceptance of the proposition to stabilize prices...
00:04:28Put on some music.
00:04:30...understanding the breaking of the London Accord with Israel
00:04:32after the Six-Day War.
00:04:34And now, our local...
00:04:35Where are you?
00:04:36A vicious murder was discovered this morning in London.
00:04:39A fisherman going out at dawn
00:04:41discovered the body of a young girl on the banks of the River Thames.
00:04:44A young girl?
00:04:46Yes, a young girl.
00:04:48A fisherman going out at dawn
00:04:50discovered the body of a young girl on the banks of the Thames.
00:04:59The police, who went immediately to the scene,
00:05:01have so far been able only to complete the first steps of their routine.
00:05:04As yet, there is no knowledge of the victim's identity.
00:05:07And now, the sports news.
00:05:09Why did you change stations?
00:05:11Why not?
00:05:13Did you hear what they said?
00:05:15Intolerably aggressive today, aren't you?
00:05:18Intolerably aggressive?
00:05:20After five years, do you always have to be so piss elegant?
00:05:23I do what I can, Enrico.
00:05:45I do what I can.
00:06:15Sergeant Tenny here.
00:06:39We're waiting for an ambulance.
00:06:41The coroner's already here.
00:06:42Over.
00:06:45You're back.
00:06:47You're back.
00:06:48You can't stay here.
00:06:50It looks to me as though she was strangled.
00:06:52Really?
00:06:53I hope they did everything right.
00:06:55No.
00:06:56Couldn't have.
00:06:57I saw her and there weren't any wounds.
00:07:00Well, at least not on the face.
00:07:15Professor Rossini.
00:07:16Oh, thank heaven.
00:07:17They've been waiting for you.
00:07:19Park the car for me, will you, Bert?
00:07:21In the headmaster's office, professor.
00:07:23They're all there.
00:07:24Even the police.
00:07:28Finally, we're all here, inspector.
00:07:30All the professors of the upper form.
00:07:32Including the teacher of gymnastic classes.
00:07:35And Italian.
00:07:37You're an hour late, Mr. Rossini.
00:07:39It's inexcusable.
00:07:41You're an hour late, Mr. Rossini.
00:07:43It's inexcusable.
00:07:45My car broke down.
00:07:47I couldn't find a taxi, so I had to wait until it was mended.
00:07:51This is inspector Bart from Scotland Yard.
00:07:53How do you do?
00:07:55Well, let's not waste any more time.
00:07:58No.
00:08:00Would you mind having a look at these photographs?
00:08:03Mr. Newton, geometry and history.
00:08:11Father Weber, chemistry and natural science.
00:08:17Study them carefully, please.
00:08:27Mr. Joseph Kane, history and philosophy.
00:08:30History and philosophy.
00:08:40Mrs. Hertha Rossini, music and German.
00:08:43It's a necessary formality.
00:08:48Professor Enrico Rossini, whom you've already met.
00:08:54Oh, my God.
00:08:56But...
00:08:58But this is...
00:09:00It killed Erickson.
00:09:02Yes.
00:09:03Who did it?
00:09:04We don't know yet.
00:09:06All we know is the victim's name.
00:09:08Her parents reported her missing yesterday evening.
00:09:10Now, I must...
00:09:12I must tell them she's been found.
00:09:16Thank you all very much.
00:09:18If I need you again, I'll let you know.
00:09:23Goodbye, Mr. Beach.
00:09:25Goodbye, Inspector.
00:09:29Oh, uh...
00:09:30You are of Italian origin, right?
00:09:33What difference does that make?
00:09:34Oh, it's only...
00:09:35My husband has lived in London for many years, Inspector.
00:09:38I know. I know.
00:09:41Goodbye, Mr. Rossini.
00:09:47Mr. Rossini, your pupils are waiting for you.
00:09:50Tell them what has happened.
00:09:52I ask you to do this
00:09:54since your more informal relationship with the girls
00:09:57may be useful for once.
00:09:59But be very tactful and don't go into details.
00:10:22LONDON, USA
00:10:37There, there.
00:10:40One, two, three, four, five, six...
00:10:43Girls!
00:10:44This is not the belly, girls.
00:10:46Relax. Relax and listen to me.
00:10:52I've been asked to give you some bad news.
00:10:57You have probably noticed that Hilda Erickson didn't come to school today.
00:11:05Something very serious has happened.
00:11:09And we shall not be seeing her again.
00:11:13And we shall not be seeing her again.
00:11:17Is she dead?
00:11:20Oh, no!
00:11:23Please, Janet. Don't get all upset.
00:11:29Janet, when did it happen?
00:11:33Yesterday afternoon, I think.
00:11:36I knew it. I knew she was killed.
00:11:39Yes, but how did you know Brenda?
00:11:43Her mother called me up last night to find out if she was over at my house.
00:11:48She was very worried because Hilda never stays out late.
00:11:52I see.
00:11:54What did they do to her?
00:11:56I'm afraid I don't know.
00:11:58Oh, excuse me, Rossini.
00:12:01But I thought my presence might be helpful.
00:12:04Instead of bombarding the professor with questions, just get changed.
00:12:19Are we all here?
00:12:34Let's go.
00:13:04Sorry, but I can only stay for ten minutes.
00:13:07I have to get back to school.
00:13:09I suppose you've heard of Hilda's death.
00:13:12When did it happen?
00:13:14Yesterday afternoon, in the woods, along the river bank.
00:13:19Elizabeth, what did you see exactly? The killer?
00:13:25No, it was just a shadow...
00:13:29moving.
00:13:31Very dark.
00:13:32I don't know how to explain it.
00:13:35I'm sure it was a man, but there was something...
00:13:39funny.
00:13:41Funny? Funny how?
00:13:44I don't know. I can't remember clearly.
00:13:48Maybe I should go to the police.
00:13:50You are out of your mind. They would ask you who you were with.
00:13:58My love, listen to me.
00:14:00You can't always do what you like.
00:14:04You have to keep track of reality.
00:14:07We need time to prepare, Hilda.
00:14:10Make her understand that I'm in love with you.
00:14:14And besides, there's a scandal at school.
00:14:17It's your last year, don't you see?
00:14:21You're right.
00:14:25Especially about your wife.
00:14:27Where were you this morning?
00:14:30A suspicious wife is a very boring character.
00:14:33You don't even try to keep up appearances anymore.
00:14:36You're tired of me, and you don't care if it shows.
00:14:40As if you could hide it with that transparent face of yours.
00:14:44That idiotic lie about the car breaking down.
00:14:47It wasn't idiotic, and it wasn't a lie.
00:14:50And now, for God's sake, leave me alone.
00:14:52What's the matter now?
00:15:15What made you decide to go and look?
00:15:18Morbid curiosity, I told you.
00:15:20A quick decision, and off you went.
00:15:23At what time?
00:15:25I left my house at about 8, maybe 10 minutes past.
00:15:29No later.
00:15:31And by 8.30, you'd already arrived.
00:15:3420 minutes.
00:15:38Something wrong?
00:15:40I wonder how you managed to find such an out-of-the-way place in the country in 20 minutes.
00:15:46I heard the news on the radio.
00:15:47The 7.30 news.
00:15:51A fisherman going out at dawn discovered the body of a young girl
00:15:55in a thicket on the right bank of the Thames.
00:15:58The man notified the police, who went immediately to the scene
00:16:01and have so far been able to complete the first steps of their routine only.
00:16:05As yet, there is no knowledge of the victim's identity.
00:16:09Quite a puzzle, yet you got there so early.
00:16:12It could have been worse.
00:16:13I wasn't the only one.
00:16:14There were dozens of other people.
00:16:15Look for yourself.
00:16:16They were passers-by attracted by the police.
00:16:20Are you insinuating that the killer always returns to the scene of the crime, Inspector?
00:16:25No.
00:16:26But you're hiding something.
00:16:29And I don't like it.
00:16:33At what time was the girl killed?
00:16:36At 8.30.
00:16:38At 8.30?
00:16:40At what time was the girl killed?
00:16:43The afternoon paper said that they are still waiting for word from the coroner.
00:16:47Then I'll tell you.
00:16:49Between 5.00 and 5.30, yesterday afternoon, just before sunset.
00:16:54Where were you about that time, Mr. Rossini?
00:16:58Driving around the city.
00:17:00Alone?
00:17:01Alone.
00:17:02I had a row with my wife.
00:17:05I wanted to cool off.
00:17:10I see.
00:17:13You can go.
00:17:15Oh?
00:17:18That's all?
00:17:20Yes.
00:17:21Come back any time you like.
00:17:24Goodbye, Inspector.
00:17:26Hilda Erickson was your pupil.
00:17:29She decided to take Italian instead of French because you were the professor.
00:17:32Young, likeable, easy-going and always on their side against the dean.
00:17:37But now she's dead.
00:17:39Yes, dead, Mr. Rossini.
00:17:42But that doesn't seem to bother you at all.
00:17:45Your mind is on something else.
00:17:48Was it bad the way she died?
00:17:52Lonely.
00:17:54The killer wounded Hilda fatally.
00:17:57She took an hour to die.
00:18:00By herself.
00:18:07Well, how are things going?
00:18:10These are the casts of the most recent footprints.
00:18:14The ones fresh enough to have been left yesterday afternoon.
00:18:18And this is a cast of the victim's footprint.
00:18:21I see.
00:18:22Oh, where did you pick this up?
00:18:24In the grass.
00:18:25About 100 yards from the body.
00:18:28I'm sending it to fingerprinting.
00:18:30All right.
00:18:32Where did you find the pin?
00:18:34On the victim's dress.
00:18:35They've arrived, Inspector.
00:18:36Oh, all right.
00:18:37Are the x-rays ready?
00:18:38I'll have them for you in a moment, Inspector.
00:18:40Good show.
00:18:41Carry on.
00:18:46Why can't we see our daughter's body?
00:18:48I'm Inspector Bart.
00:18:49Please sit down, Mrs. Erickson.
00:18:53I am in charge of this case.
00:18:55I'll take you to see your daughter when the time comes.
00:18:59Please take notes.
00:19:01Well, Mr. Erickson, please understand, I have to know everything.
00:19:05Even if it seems to you irrelevant and unimportant detail.
00:19:09Let's start with yesterday afternoon.
00:19:11Yesterday was Sunday.
00:19:13Try to remember how you spent the afternoon.
00:19:15Take your time.
00:19:16We didn't go out at all after lunch.
00:19:18We went to mass in the morning with Hilda.
00:19:20And then...
00:19:21She went to confession.
00:19:23Poor darling.
00:19:24And took communion.
00:19:26Naturally.
00:19:27But you were saying about the afternoon.
00:19:30Yes, we stayed at home, my wife and I.
00:19:32Remember, dear?
00:19:33We watched cricket on TV.
00:19:35Then we started wondering why Hilda hadn't come home.
00:19:39She never did come home.
00:19:45When did Hilda go out?
00:19:47Around seven or eight o'clock.
00:19:49First we called up some friends, girls from the school.
00:19:52But they hadn't seen her.
00:19:54Then she didn't go out with them.
00:19:56Was there some doubt, Mr. Erickson?
00:19:59You didn't believe them?
00:20:02I've never understood these girls.
00:20:06But your daughter was hardly a baby.
00:20:08Maybe she had a boyfriend.
00:20:11She would have told me.
00:20:13Don't you think?
00:20:14Yes.
00:20:17Well, I see.
00:20:19I don't mean to insist.
00:20:22Please excuse me now.
00:20:24There's something I have to ask you, Mr. Bart.
00:20:27Hilda, has she been...
00:20:29Was she raped?
00:20:35Miss Bonham.
00:20:36In a certain sense, yes, Mr. Erickson.
00:20:39Please come with me.
00:20:44Here we are.
00:20:56Hello.
00:20:58Please come with me.
00:21:02Here we are.
00:21:09Now hold on, Mr. Erickson.
00:21:14The murderer left the knife there.
00:21:57The murderer is in the house.
00:22:03Please don't worry, Mr. Erickson.
00:22:06He'll be all right.
00:22:08I've got him.
00:22:10I'll get him.
00:22:12He's a good boy.
00:22:15Don't worry.
00:22:17I've got him.
00:22:19Don't worry.
00:22:21I've got him.
00:22:23I've got him.
00:22:25In the name of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
00:22:29We praise you, Lord God, for your mercy on us.
00:22:55And we praise you, Lord God, for your mercy on us.
00:23:13Yes.
00:23:14I love you, too.
00:23:16Yes.
00:23:17I love you, too.
00:23:46I love you, too.
00:23:58Yes, Father.
00:23:59But I'm afraid to.
00:24:01No, there was somebody else.
00:24:03Yes.
00:24:15I'll get it, Uncle.
00:24:22Hello?
00:24:25Ah, it's you.
00:24:35It's for me.
00:24:40Listen, I have a surprise for you.
00:24:42Uh-huh.
00:24:43Does that enthusiastic response mean you don't care?
00:24:47I haven't been able to get near you for more than a week.
00:24:50What is it now?
00:24:52Who are you talking to?
00:24:53I'm by myself.
00:24:54But where, darling?
00:24:56Where?
00:24:57That's for you to guess.
00:24:59I'll count to ten.
00:25:00The keys.
00:25:01I forgot they were still in my coat room.
00:25:02I'll just leave them here.
00:25:05Now, why act like that?
00:25:07It's coming.
00:25:08What is it?
00:25:09Well?
00:25:10Glass, sir.
00:25:11No, really.
00:25:12Thank you.
00:25:13I want to see you.
00:25:14It's flowers.
00:25:15Shall I take care of them?
00:25:17Thanks, yes.
00:25:18Who are you talking to?
00:25:20I can't tell you that.
00:25:22Part of the surprise.
00:25:23But don't forget, if you need something, I'm right next door.
00:25:26No, no, no.
00:25:29I'm counting on your female curiosity.
00:25:32Wait a second.
00:25:43Hear that?
00:25:45Caro, do tell me where you are.
00:25:48I can't stay on the phone forever.
00:25:51Eight Evelyn Gardens, fifth floor.
00:25:53The flat in front of the elevator.
00:25:55I love you.
00:26:08Going out?
00:26:09Over to Deborah's to study.
00:26:11Was that Deborah on the telephone?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:14See you later, Uncle Douglas.
00:26:17Liza, don't be too late.
00:26:20It's all right.
00:26:21I'm not Little Red Riding Hood.
00:26:23No, Liza.
00:26:24But after what happened to Hilda.
00:26:26Oh, don't worry, Uncle.
00:26:28I promise I won't go near the riverbank today.
00:26:31Bye.
00:26:41Bye.
00:27:11Bye.
00:27:42Could this mean you care for me?
00:27:44What an idiot you are.
00:28:12Close your eyes.
00:28:13Close your eyes.
00:28:14Why?
00:28:15Come on.
00:28:22What does her ladyship have to say?
00:28:24Oh.
00:28:26Now I know.
00:28:28It's a trap.
00:28:29My favorite flowers.
00:28:31My favorite song.
00:28:34After you, madame.
00:28:38It will be a refuge until we can...
00:28:41Why don't you answer?
00:28:44Hello?
00:28:45Hello?
00:28:47Who's calling?
00:28:49Hello?
00:28:52Oh.
00:28:53They hung up.
00:28:54It had to be a wrong number since no one knows we're here.
00:28:57Do you want to see the rest of the house?
00:28:59Yes.
00:29:00There is everything you need to make a glass of water.
00:29:04Also, the bathroom is very nice.
00:29:07Oh.
00:29:09It's beautiful.
00:29:12And this is it, huh?
00:29:16Are we supposed to make love in the bathtub?
00:29:19You are a fantastic girl.
00:29:34Oh.
00:29:35Oh.
00:29:36Oh.
00:29:37Oh.
00:29:38Oh.
00:29:39Oh.
00:29:40Oh.
00:29:41Oh.
00:29:42Oh.
00:29:43Oh.
00:29:44Oh.
00:29:45Oh.
00:29:46Oh.
00:29:47Oh.
00:29:48Oh.
00:29:49Oh.
00:29:50Oh.
00:29:51Oh.
00:29:52Oh.
00:29:53Oh.
00:29:54Oh.
00:29:55Oh.
00:29:56Oh.
00:29:57Oh.
00:29:58Oh.
00:29:59Oh.
00:30:00Oh.
00:30:01Oh.
00:30:02Oh.
00:30:03Oh.
00:30:04Oh.
00:30:05Oh.
00:30:06Oh.
00:30:07Oh.
00:30:08Oh.
00:30:09Oh.
00:30:10Oh.
00:30:11Oh.
00:30:12Oh.
00:30:13Oh.
00:30:14Oh.
00:30:15Oh.
00:30:16Oh.
00:30:17Oh.
00:30:18Oh.
00:30:19Oh.
00:30:20Oh.
00:30:21Oh.
00:30:22Oh.
00:30:23Oh.
00:30:24Oh.
00:30:25Oh.
00:30:26Oh.
00:30:27Oh.
00:30:28Oh.
00:30:29Oh.
00:30:30Oh.
00:30:31Oh.
00:30:32Oh.
00:30:33Oh.
00:30:34Oh.
00:30:35Oh.
00:30:36Oh.
00:30:37Oh.
00:30:38Oh.
00:30:39Oh.
00:30:40Oh.
00:30:41Oh.
00:30:42Oh.
00:30:43Oh.
00:30:44Oh.
00:30:45Oh.
00:30:46Oh.
00:30:47Oh.
00:30:48Oh.
00:30:49Oh.
00:30:50Oh.
00:30:51Oh.
00:30:52Oh.
00:30:53Oh.
00:30:54It seemed to be meant for me.
00:30:55I don't think I'll ever write decent German.
00:31:00I don't think I'll ever write decent German.
00:31:02Even your much-beloved Rilke preferred Italian.
00:31:05Remember, for example, we say palm of the hand,
00:31:09and you say flat of the hand.
00:31:11Yeah, Italian is the language for angels' tongues.
00:31:14And German is hard and graceless like me.
00:31:17While you need soft things, tender things, angels' tongues.
00:31:21Herta, please.
00:31:22I... I'm trying to help you, Enrico.
00:31:26You've been wanting to tell me something for quite some time,
00:31:29circling around it like a vulture,
00:31:31without ever quite getting up the courage to land.
00:31:35For all the sweetness of your angel's tongue.
00:31:38What were you doing with Hilda Erikson?
00:31:40Why did you go running to sue her body?
00:31:43Had you been to bed with her?
00:31:44Are you crazy? How can you say such a thing?
00:31:47You'll have to be much more convincing than that, Enrico.
00:31:54Please come in.
00:31:56Inspector Barth.
00:31:57Good evening.
00:31:58You're just in time for a drink.
00:32:00Make yourself at home, please.
00:32:02Thank you.
00:32:11Scotch?
00:32:12Yes, please. Ice and soda.
00:32:25Thank you.
00:32:30I've given you a week, Mr. Rossini.
00:32:33But you've disappointed me.
00:32:35So I'm taking the initiative.
00:32:38I'm sorry that I couldn't give you advance notice.
00:32:45Well, I... I...
00:32:47I...
00:32:48I...
00:32:49I...
00:32:50I...
00:32:51I...
00:32:53I...
00:32:54Well, I'd like to go over the main points again.
00:33:00Oh, I'm sorry. Have you got a pen?
00:33:02On the desk, dear.
00:33:03Oh, there's yours. Right there, Enrico.
00:33:10Thank you.
00:33:20I'll have to ask you a few questions, Mr. Rossini.
00:33:24That means men talk, I imagine.
00:33:26If you wouldn't mind.
00:33:38We found one. Just like this.
00:33:42At the scene of the murder.
00:33:44Left by the killer?
00:33:46Or by a witness.
00:33:54All right.
00:33:56I can explain the pain.
00:34:00I can tell you that much.
00:34:02If you promise to keep it between us.
00:34:05I didn't see anything myself that afternoon on the river.
00:34:09But the person I was with did.
00:34:15I thought at first it was one of her usual tricks.
00:34:19That she'd only made it up in order to keep it between us.
00:34:23She'd only made it up in order to distract me.
00:34:31There! It was a knife!
00:34:33I saw it! I saw it!
00:34:35Where?
00:34:36I didn't want to believe her.
00:34:40I thought it was another excuse.
00:34:42That's why, when I heard the news on the radio...
00:34:46I went rushing there like a fool.
00:34:49That's the whole story.
00:34:51Elizabeth Seckles.
00:34:53That's right.
00:34:55The niece of Colonel Douglas Seckles.
00:34:58Well, you know I'll have to question her.
00:35:02Don't worry about my discretion.
00:35:04But if what she tells me can help identify the killer...
00:35:07I'll have to let it come out. I'm sorry.
00:35:09A shadowy form. A knife glinting in the sun.
00:35:11How could that help the investigation?
00:35:13It's likely to give more trouble than help.
00:35:16To both.
00:35:17You.
00:35:18And me.
00:35:22Evening, miss.
00:35:24Evening, sir.
00:35:26I'm Jack Clark.
00:35:27Have fun driving.
00:35:52Yes?
00:35:53Hello. Is Mr. Bryant there?
00:35:55No, I'm sorry. My father's out.
00:35:57Oh, I see. Would this be Janet?
00:35:59Yes, of course I'm Janet.
00:36:01I thought it must be you.
00:36:03This is Barnaby Edmonds, Helen's father.
00:36:05Oh, Mr. Edmonds. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize your voice.
00:36:08Helen wanted me to ask if she could borrow your Italian book.
00:36:11She has an exam tomorrow, and she seems to have lost it.
00:36:15Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize your voice.
00:36:18I'm sorry. I didn't recognize your voice.
00:36:21She had to borrow your Italian book.
00:36:23She has an exam tomorrow, and she seems to have lost hers.
00:36:26I'm near your house. If you could just bring it downstairs.
00:36:29Oh, yes, I will.
00:36:31Thank you.
00:36:32Bye.
00:36:48I'm going to kill you, you son of a bitch!
00:37:18Oh, fuck!
00:37:48Oh, fuck!
00:38:18Oh, fuck!
00:38:48Oh, fuck!
00:39:18Hello?
00:39:22What? Right now? This minute?
00:39:27All right. I'll come.
00:39:32It's not necessary, Enrico, to say anything.
00:39:41Thanks to God...
00:40:13Oh, God!
00:40:22Enrico!
00:40:24Oh, Enrico!
00:40:26Enrico.
00:40:27Calm down.
00:40:28Calm down.
00:40:29I'm here.
00:40:30Tell me what's wrong.
00:40:31Oh, God.
00:40:32Enrico.
00:40:33I had that ghastly nightmare again.
00:40:34But it was much clearer this time.
00:40:35Now I know who was following Hilton,
00:40:36and I know who was following me.
00:40:37I know who's behind this.
00:40:38I know who's behind this.
00:40:39But it was much clearer this time.
00:40:41Now I know who was following Hilda in the woods.
00:40:44I told you there was something strange.
00:40:47Now I know, Enrique.
00:40:49He was wearing a sort of habit, all black.
00:40:55Black like a priest.
00:40:56Now go ahead.
00:41:10Now, Mrs. Heldin.
00:41:32The dog howled all night, but then the damned thing always does.
00:41:37This morning, I was going to the fields.
00:41:40I stumbled over her.
00:41:42Why here?
00:41:44Why did it have to happen here?
00:42:08Elizabeth, did you know that Janet was killed last night?
00:42:13What?
00:42:16Professor.
00:42:20Excuse me, Professor, I want to talk to you.
00:42:23Yes, of course. Come with me.
00:42:24I think I know something, Professor.
00:42:26I'm not absolutely sure, but it had to do with Hilda's death.
00:42:38This second episode could easily throw a, let us say, a very negative light on our school.
00:42:45Mr. Baskerville, what is Miss Eccles doing here?
00:42:49Miss Eccles has just told me something I think we all should know.
00:42:53With your permission, Mr. Leach.
00:42:56Please go on.
00:42:57Don't worry.
00:42:58Just tell them what you told me.
00:43:03It's just that...
00:43:06Mr. Leach, that afternoon...
00:43:10That Sunday when Hilda was killed...
00:43:14Well, I was there.
00:43:15Oh, that is...
00:43:16I was on the river in a boat, and I saw it.
00:43:21And just what was it you saw?
00:43:23The murderer chasing Hilda.
00:43:25And then when he was actually killing her.
00:43:28And you waited until another girl had been killed before telling us?
00:43:32No.
00:43:33I didn't know until Mr. Baskerville told me just now.
00:43:36That's true.
00:43:37Elizabeth had already told me her story.
00:43:40Go on, my dear.
00:43:41Finish it.
00:43:46At the time, none of it was very clear.
00:43:49I didn't even realize what was happening.
00:43:52But later, thinking about it...
00:43:54Well, go on.
00:43:59Now, I'm sure that the killer wore a long black habit.
00:44:06In other words, a priest.
00:44:11Yes.
00:44:15And what were you doing in a boat?
00:44:17Fishing?
00:44:20No, Mr. Newton.
00:44:21I was with a boy.
00:44:24Just as I thought.
00:44:26There's nothing wrong, Elizabeth.
00:44:29But it's possible that the boy could help us, too, you know.
00:44:32No.
00:44:33He didn't see anything.
00:44:34His back was turned.
00:44:36He didn't even believe me when I told him.
00:44:38But Elizabeth, this priest...
00:44:40Did you see his face?
00:44:42Would you know him if you saw him again?
00:44:45I don't know.
00:44:48I'm not really sure.
00:44:53Maybe, if I saw him.
00:45:14Thanks for keeping me out of it.
00:45:17I'll see you this afternoon before I go down to headquarters.
00:45:20Yes.
00:45:22Bean.
00:45:37You should be more careful, Enrico.
00:45:39Don't worry.
00:45:40I'm probably the only one who knows.
00:45:43But neither one of you is any too good at hiding it.
00:45:47I imagine you disapprove.
00:45:48Of course I do.
00:45:50But I understand, too.
00:45:51I realized at once who the boy in the boat was.
00:45:54I've already told Inspector Bart myself last night.
00:45:58And your wife?
00:46:01Of course, Professor.
00:46:03Thank you.
00:46:04Not yet.
00:46:06It's a tough thing to explain.
00:46:12Thanks for understanding.
00:46:21Oh!
00:46:30Can you give me one?
00:46:46There you go.
00:46:48Yeah!
00:46:52Give us a drink.
00:46:59Where are you going?
00:47:02Where am I?
00:47:21Enrico, love, I'm in here.
00:47:24Enrico, love, I'm in here.
00:47:49Oh!
00:47:55Oh!
00:48:05Oh!
00:48:08Oh!
00:48:11Oh!
00:48:16Oh!
00:48:24Oh!
00:48:55Oh!
00:49:07Must be a madman.
00:49:08John, you're in my way.
00:49:09Sorry, old boy. I'm nearly finished.
00:49:11Rotten business. Nice looking girl.
00:49:12That's enough, chaps. Get her out of the tub.
00:49:25At what time did you say you arrived?
00:49:28At what time did you say you arrived?
00:49:31About four.
00:49:34That was when you were to meet Elizabeth.
00:49:37That was when you were to meet Elizabeth.
00:49:40No.
00:49:43Elizabeth just said that she would come around sometime this afternoon.
00:49:46Elizabeth just said that she would come around sometime this afternoon.
00:49:49She had her own keys.
00:49:53She had her own keys.
00:49:56You left the school around one o'clock and went home.
00:49:59You left the school around one o'clock and went home.
00:50:02I wanted to have a talk with my wife.
00:50:05I see. And did you?
00:50:08I did not.
00:50:10Inspector.
00:50:13She was attacked in the bath.
00:50:16She defended herself fiercely.
00:50:19She defended herself fiercely.
00:50:22There are good many bruises, but the towel kept the neck from showing any fingerprints.
00:50:25There are good many bruises, but the towel kept the neck from showing any fingerprints.
00:50:28You see?
00:50:31Our first impression was wrong, Inspector. She was not strangled.
00:50:34Preliminary examination indicates death by drowning.
00:50:37We found some hairs under her fingernails, and quite obviously they are not her own.
00:50:40So presumably they belong to the killer. I had them sent to the laboratory.
00:50:43She was raped?
00:50:46It does not seem likely, but we will not really know until we have done the autopsy, sir.
00:50:49It does not seem likely, but we will not really know until we have done the autopsy, sir.
00:50:57We are all done here.
00:51:11No, no, no.
00:51:14Sorry.
00:51:27Oh, I'm sorry.
00:51:30But he said waters, if you do not mind.
00:51:34You should not have come, Colonel.
00:51:37Where is my niece?
00:51:39Tomorrow. Tonight is impossible.
00:51:42I see you have the man.
00:51:45Who?
00:51:48Oh, you mean Mr. Rossini. No, we are not sure about anything yet.
00:51:51I'm sure he's guilty.
00:52:09Mr. Bryant, may I take the occasion to offer you my most sincere condolences, and those of the staff.
00:52:12Mr. Bryant, may I take the occasion to offer you my most sincere condolences, and those of the staff.
00:52:15Thanks, but condolences are not much use at this point.
00:52:18I haven't been permitted to see the poor girl's body yet.
00:52:21All they can think about is this new murder.
00:52:24Bart is not to be found, and I'm done with sitting in waiting rooms.
00:52:27Obviously, Colonel Seckles pulls more weight than I do.
00:52:30It's already one o'clock. I should be on my way. I have other things to do.
00:52:33Then go, for God's sake, go, will you?
00:52:36I don't need you for questioning.
00:52:39Of course not. These will do.
00:52:42Three of their pupils killed in two weeks,
00:52:45and they still won't accept the fact that they have a sex maniac on the faculty.
00:52:48Just wait until you read the papers tomorrow.
00:52:51What is this all about?
00:52:54We need a sample of your hair.
00:52:57Yes.
00:53:05I'm sorry, Colonel Seckles,
00:53:08but I just can't see what purpose would be served by a meeting between you and Mr. Rossini.
00:53:11Certainly, you have no proof of his guilt.
00:53:14A married man and a teacher seducing a student, a minor.
00:53:17That seems more than enough.
00:53:20But not for a murder indictment.
00:53:23Well, make him confess. I'm sure you have the means.
00:53:26Understandably. I'll see that you're taken to your car.
00:53:29That won't be necessary.
00:53:33Inspector.
00:53:40Where's Enrico? May I see him?
00:53:43Not right now. Be patient.
00:53:46You're losing time, you know. Enrico could never have killed that girl.
00:53:49He just isn't a killer, and far less a sex maniac.
00:53:52However, we must look into the circumstances.
00:53:55Now, if you'll excuse me, please, I'm extremely busy.
00:54:02I know nothing about Mr. Rossini's relations
00:54:05with the Seckles girl and the other two.
00:54:08Nobody has said there was a relationship with the other two girls.
00:54:11No. Oh, it seems rather evident.
00:54:14I see.
00:54:17Mr. Leach,
00:54:20do these green pins mean anything to you?
00:54:23No.
00:54:26Elizabeth, she was a wonderful girl in every way,
00:54:29and by no means loose or easy.
00:54:32If she was with Enrico, it was because she cared for him.
00:54:35She was very kind, very sensitive.
00:54:38I can't think of anyone who would dislike her enough to want to kill her.
00:54:43And as for Enrico, my God,
00:54:46I wouldn't believe it if I'd seen her with my own eyes.
00:54:49I never have liked that Italian.
00:54:52I had an idea something of the sort was going on.
00:54:55Thoroughly unwholesome.
00:54:58Do you recognize this?
00:55:01We're playing guessing games, sir.
00:55:04This is one of the keys to that apartment.
00:55:07Elizabeth's.
00:55:10Rossini says his was taken yesterday.
00:55:13He thinks between 11 and 11.30 from the locker rooms.
00:55:16And you think I might have taken it?
00:55:20Enrico was a young man, and his wife was a distant woman.
00:55:23A woman of strong principles.
00:55:26It's not surprising that he looked elsewhere.
00:55:29You're an experienced man, Mr. Bascom.
00:55:32Do you think that Enrico Rossini might have,
00:55:35well, tendencies towards very young girls?
00:55:38No. No.
00:55:41Not that I'm any kind of expert,
00:55:44but nowadays a girl of 18 is not a child.
00:55:47But it might be better if they were.
00:55:50Moral issues apart.
00:55:53Why should Enrico want to kill her?
00:55:56We all knew what the girl knew already.
00:55:59She told us herself in the headmaster's office.
00:56:02Just what did she know?
00:56:05She was practically a witness when Hilda was killed.
00:56:08Yes, yes, yes, but what did she tell you in the headmaster's office?
00:56:11Just an impression.
00:56:14A strong black habit.
00:56:17In other words, a priest.
00:56:23What's all this about a priest?
00:56:26One of Elizabeth's ideas.
00:56:29She kept having nightmares about the murder,
00:56:32reliving it over and over again.
00:56:35Then she remembered that.
00:56:38When did she tell you?
00:56:41Which night?
00:56:44The other night. The night Janet Bryant was murdered.
00:56:53Just be patient, please.
00:56:58Well, where is this fellow Griggs?
00:57:01He was supposed to have been here an hour ago. Have him brought in.
00:57:04Yes, sir.
00:57:07Autopsy reports and a hair analysis.
00:57:10The hair under her fingernails is not Rossini's.
00:57:13It's dead hair.
00:57:15Dead hair?
00:57:18As for the autopsy, you won't believe it.
00:57:21She had not been sexually assaulted.
00:57:24She was still a virgin.
00:57:27Elizabeth still a virgin?
00:57:30Yes, and when those schoolteachers find out,
00:57:33they'll put up a statue to her.
00:57:36Bloody well should.
00:57:40Come on.
00:58:04Would you get dressed and come with us, please?
00:58:08Come on, we're waiting, sir.
00:58:11I knew it.
00:58:25Now keep your eyes open.
00:58:29Which is it?
00:58:32Catholic, Protestant, Jesuit, Dominican?
00:58:35Come on, man.
00:58:38Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
00:58:41How the bloody hell should I know what order they belong to? A priest is a priest.
00:58:44And they all wear black habits. Black. You hear? You hear?
00:58:47You hear?
00:58:57You must have seen something else, man.
00:59:00Yes. Yes.
00:59:03It had a beard.
00:59:06That's it. It had a beard.
00:59:09Get me Draper on the double.
00:59:15On the line, Inspector.
00:59:18Draper, listen. That hair under the fingernails,
00:59:21could that be from a beard?
00:59:24Why not? It'd have to be false, though, since it's dead hair.
00:59:28Thank you.
00:59:33Keep him busy for a while.
00:59:36Right.
00:59:39Take another look, man.
00:59:42No. No!
00:59:47Father Weber.
00:59:51I don't use greasers.
00:59:54Yeah, sure.
00:59:57Excuse me. Have you ever seen a bearded priest
01:00:00around the school somewhere or even in the church next door?
01:00:03What? I don't think so.
01:00:06Why?
01:00:09Well, thanks anyway.
01:00:12You may go now, Father, and take him, too. Thank you very much.
01:00:15You big son of a bitch.
01:00:18Where the hell did I find a taxi at this hour?
01:00:21Damn old cops. Damn old priests.
01:00:24Every young man a priest.
01:00:27If I ever meet one, I'm gonna punch him right in the face.
01:00:36Yesterday afternoon,
01:00:39your husband was late for his meeting with Elizabeth
01:00:42because he wanted to talk to you,
01:00:45but he didn't. Why?
01:00:48I guess because I didn't give him any encouragement.
01:00:51I... Well, I just didn't want to know.
01:00:54Well, you knew already.
01:00:57Perfectly well. You left before he did, right?
01:01:00Yes.
01:01:03To go where? Why do you want to know, Inspector?
01:01:06Your husband didn't kill anybody.
01:01:09I'm releasing him shortly.
01:01:12I may go.
01:01:16One more thing, Mrs. Rossini.
01:01:21That girl, Elizabeth,
01:01:26she was still a virgin.
01:01:45She was still a virgin.
01:02:15The headmaster sent this home for you, sir.
01:02:18Oh, there was this, too. I'll put all your things in it.
01:02:21You want to check?
01:02:24Not now, thanks. I'll take care of it.
01:02:31I'm sorry.
01:02:34I'm sorry.
01:02:37I'm sorry.
01:02:40I'm sorry.
01:02:44What did you expect the headmaster to do?
01:02:47Congratulate you?
01:02:52Enrico, you can't even be suspected of killing her.
01:02:55And her death wasn't your fault.
01:02:58Go and shave and then go to bed. We'll talk later, okay?
01:03:01We haven't had a real word for so long.
01:03:04Long enough to almost lose each other completely.
01:03:10You talked to Elizabeth, didn't you?
01:03:13Yesterday morning in the courtyard.
01:03:16She said she was going to talk to you.
01:03:19She said she was going to talk to you.
01:03:22She said she was going to talk to you.
01:03:26Yesterday morning in the courtyard. I saw you with her.
01:03:31I wanted to say something.
01:03:34But I didn't have the guts.
01:03:37I told her to concentrate on her homework.
01:03:42We don't have to say anything to each other, Herta.
01:03:45We already know each other.
01:03:48We just got lost for a while.
01:03:51You mean we can go on together?
01:03:54I have to find out who killed her. You understand that, don't you?
01:03:57I want to know too, Enrico.
01:04:00I'll help you in every way I can.
01:04:25You all know already of the death of Elizabeth Seckles.
01:04:31However, the school has decided that lessons will continue normally
01:04:37and that your life will be disrupted as little as possible.
01:04:40Of course, it would be unnatural not to talk about it at all.
01:04:46Did the same men who killed the others kill Elizabeth?
01:04:49Was it done the same way?
01:04:52Was it done the same way?
01:04:54Mother wouldn't allow me to read the paper this morning.
01:04:57I read it.
01:04:59Has the...
01:05:01Has Mr. Rossini really been arrested?
01:05:03Hold on a minute, girls.
01:05:05There's some questions I'd like to ask you first.
01:05:09May I come in?
01:05:10Of course.
01:05:14Excuse me.
01:05:17Just a few words with the girls.
01:05:20Now, uh...
01:05:22I want to know if any of you have seen a priest in the last couple of weeks.
01:05:26A priest with a beard.
01:05:30Either here or in the church next door.
01:05:34Well?
01:05:36Yes, in the church.
01:05:38He was a new confessor.
01:05:39Not the usual one.
01:05:41Another one.
01:05:42Not Father Weber.
01:05:44He's just the one that comes every once in a while.
01:05:46How many times?
01:05:47Two or three.
01:05:49And did any of you ever make confession to him, to this new priest with a beard?
01:05:54Come on, girls.
01:05:55There's certainly nothing wrong about going to confession.
01:05:58Now, who went to the new priest?
01:06:01Speak up.
01:06:02I did, Mrs. Rossini.
01:06:03And what did you tell him?
01:06:09I'm sorry.
01:06:10I...
01:06:11I mean, uh...
01:06:12Did Hilda ever make confession to this priest?
01:06:15I don't know about Hilda.
01:06:17But I know that Janet did.
01:06:19I remember because it was at Hilda's funeral.
01:06:22We all took communion for her soul.
01:06:26Well, that's interesting.
01:06:30Thank you all very much.
01:06:32And you, Mrs. Rossini.
01:06:35Excuse me.
01:06:45You were good friends with Hilda and Janet, weren't you?
01:06:47No more than the others.
01:06:49That's not so.
01:06:50You were the biggest clique in the school.
01:06:52You and Hilda and Janet.
01:06:54And Helen, too.
01:06:55Mind your own business.
01:06:58Girls.
01:06:59Girls!
01:07:00What's wrong with being friends?
01:07:03Why try to hide it?
01:07:04We just want to know more about Hilda and Janet.
01:07:08Wouldn't you like to know who killed them?
01:07:11And Elizabeth.
01:07:12She was Janet's friend, too.
01:07:14Wasn't she?
01:07:17You are the only ones who can help us, if you choose to.
01:07:22Because you know all about them.
01:07:25If you could tell us who their friends were outside the school.
01:07:29What boys they went out with, for instance.
01:07:31So I decided to question them myself.
01:07:34You were right.
01:07:35The girls had a secret society.
01:07:37Could you get anything definite out of them?
01:07:39Not much.
01:07:41Brenda is sly as a witch.
01:07:44But I think Helen is a little frightened.
01:07:47Of what, I wonder?
01:07:49If we knew that.
01:07:51Well, anyway, I found out this much.
01:07:54Hilda and Janet dated some older boys.
01:07:56University students.
01:07:58And naturally on the sly.
01:08:02I didn't mean to.
01:08:05Anyway, I found out the name of one of the boys.
01:08:26I'm a friend of him, Sullivan.
01:08:28Well, come in then.
01:08:36He won't be a minute.
01:08:38He's just loading a camera.
01:08:57You are Phillip Sullivan, right?
01:08:59Right.
01:09:01Have you a minute to talk?
01:09:04I'm one of the teachers from St. Mary's School.
01:09:09Don't panic.
01:09:10This is between you and me.
01:09:12Nothing official.
01:09:13What do you want to know?
01:09:15Come on.
01:09:16Let's take a walk.
01:09:17Oh, no, you don't.
01:09:18Come on, Phil.
01:09:19I've only got an hour.
01:09:20Hurry up.
01:09:21Or we'll do it another day.
01:09:23Excuse me.
01:09:24But I've got to finish this session.
01:09:26Take a seat.
01:09:27Come on, baby.
01:09:28Let's get to work.
01:09:31Did you ever know Hilda Erickson and Janet Bryan?
01:09:34Sure.
01:09:35I knew them when I was at the university last year.
01:09:38Most of my friends knew them, too.
01:09:40They were two turned-on chicks, both of them.
01:09:43Too bad they finished up like that.
01:09:45Turned on?
01:09:46How?
01:09:47They knew the score.
01:09:49Sex, man.
01:09:51Easy lays, you mean?
01:09:53No, if that's what your kick is.
01:09:55But they did play around.
01:09:57You've read what it says in Masters and Johnson.
01:09:59And Helen and Brenda, you know them?
01:10:01Hell, yes.
01:10:03I know them.
01:10:05Brenda, Helen, and that other one.
01:10:07What's her name?
01:10:09Elizabeth?
01:10:10That's it.
01:10:11The one that got it the other day.
01:10:13But then, no, she didn't hang around with them.
01:10:18They're all my students.
01:10:20They sure stick together, don't they?
01:10:22You're telling me.
01:10:24Even in bed, at least among themselves, the little dykes.
01:10:28And with the boys?
01:10:30Real screwing?
01:10:31No, not after what happened to Solange.
01:10:34Now, smile.
01:10:36Okay, baby, that's it.
01:10:38Oh, that's good news.
01:10:39Thanks a lot.
01:10:40You can get out of your skin now.
01:10:55What do you want to know, anyway?
01:10:57I have one question.
01:10:59Who is Solange?
01:11:01A girl.
01:11:03I was just using her as an example.
01:11:05Of what?
01:11:07Who is Solange?
01:11:08What happened to her?
01:11:09Nothing.
01:11:10I was thinking about someone else.
01:11:15Talk.
01:11:16I don't know anything for sure.
01:11:17She was half French, turned on, swinging.
01:11:20Thought she was a big deal.
01:11:22I never screwed her, though.
01:11:23I didn't.
01:11:24She was in the first form last year.
01:11:26Not in my school?
01:11:27No.
01:11:28Well, tell me where.
01:11:30A girl's high school.
01:11:31I don't know where.
01:11:32Hell, man, that's all I know.
01:11:33She's disappeared, and I just ain't seen her since.
01:11:36Phillip!
01:11:39Coming, baby.
01:11:40Right away.
01:11:45Father Herbert always confesses here.
01:11:48Even we priests have our little habit, you know, sir.
01:11:52But what do you do with that one?
01:11:55What I mean is, isn't it possible that Father...
01:11:58Herbert.
01:11:59Father Herbert.
01:12:00That he occasionally brings in a colleague to assist him.
01:12:04Another priest.
01:12:05That has never happened, Inspector.
01:12:09I confess all the pupils from the school myself.
01:12:13I imagine you are Father Herbert.
01:12:15Would you mind coming forward?
01:12:18So, uh, you always hear confession in here.
01:12:23Is that right?
01:12:24And always in this same one.
01:12:26But while you are closed inside and the priest conducts the mass,
01:12:30is it possible that another priest,
01:12:32this damn priest with a beard,
01:12:35this blessed priest with a beard,
01:12:37could come in and close himself in this confessional?
01:12:42Anything is possible.
01:12:45Anything is possible in theory, Inspector.
01:12:50But I exclude this possibility.
01:12:53I don't suppose you could tell me what the girls have said in confession
01:12:57these last two weeks, could you?
01:12:59No, Mr. Bart.
01:13:01I don't suppose I could.
01:13:04I see.
01:13:15Let's go.
01:13:45I know how sorry you are, and I thank you.
01:14:11But don't think badly of Elizabeth.
01:14:14Our friendship remained clean.
01:14:16But that is not why I came.
01:14:20Did you see what's happening over there?
01:14:23It's unheard of.
01:14:25This is not the place for a scene.
01:14:28Excuse me.
01:14:29I have a question.
01:14:31Last year you had a friend named Solange.
01:14:34Who is she?
01:14:35Solange? Never heard of her.
01:14:36Have you, Helen?
01:14:37No.
01:14:43Time to go.
01:14:46If you keep on prying among the girls,
01:14:47Newton will never believe that you're not a sex maniac.
01:14:53How are things with Hertha?
01:14:58She's been extraordinary.
01:15:01Without her...
01:15:05Yes, Solange.
01:15:06Upper first form last year.
01:15:08No, I don't know her last name.
01:15:12Thank you.
01:15:13And excuse me for disturbing you.
01:15:15Well?
01:15:17That was the last one.
01:15:18They're just on any other schools in London.
01:15:20Come look.
01:15:24It can't be this one.
01:15:26She's still going there.
01:15:27Or this one either.
01:15:29Her name is Solange, but she's in the elementary school.
01:15:32So there's only this one.
01:15:34Solange Beauregard.
01:15:35She was enrolled in the upper first form,
01:15:37but she didn't come back this term.
01:15:40Then it can't be anybody else.
01:15:42Where does she live?
01:15:43James Street.
01:15:45You're not thinking of going now.
01:15:47Enrico, please stay here.
01:16:28Huh?
01:16:32Evening, miss.
01:16:33Good evening.
01:16:39Good morning, sir.
01:16:40Morning.
01:16:41Morning, madam.
01:16:42You go on to school.
01:16:43I'll start looking for Solange.
01:16:45I'll see you later.
01:16:46Ciao.
01:16:54What's the matter, Charlotte?
01:16:56I'm sorry to trouble you, madam,
01:16:58but I'm looking for the Beauregard family.
01:17:00Beauregard.
01:17:02Never heard the name.
01:17:04They have a daughter, about 16.
01:17:06Her name is Solange.
01:17:07Do you know where they moved?
01:17:09I certainly don't.
01:17:11The house had been empty for a good while when we took it.
01:17:14Could you tell me the name of the owner?
01:17:16I just know the rental agents.
01:17:18Golden House, or something like that.
01:17:21Thank you.
01:17:27Hello?
01:17:51Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Rossini?
01:17:53Yes.
01:17:54Who is it, please?
01:17:55Doesn't matter.
01:17:56For now, just think of me as a friend,
01:17:58a friend of yours from Italy.
01:18:00What do you want?
01:18:01Just be quiet and listen.
01:18:03Take a vacation, soon, in Italy, anywhere.
01:18:06Otherwise, you won't see her again.
01:18:09Son of a bitch.
01:18:22Good morning.
01:18:23This is the Golden House Agency.
01:18:25Our offices will remain closed until Monday morning at 9 o'clock,
01:18:29at which time we will be having...
01:18:44Mr. Rossini.
01:18:45What is it?
01:18:47When you got your meal this morning, this fellow...
01:18:50Thank you, Joe.
01:18:51You're welcome, sir.
01:19:22Mrs. Holden?
01:19:38Anybody there?
01:19:52Mrs. Holden?
01:20:10Mrs. Holden?
01:20:39Mrs. Holden?
01:20:58Who do you think put this note in your mailbox?
01:21:01Probably one of the second form girls from the school.
01:21:03Why send it to you?
01:21:04I don't know.
01:21:05How could I?
01:21:06You ought to have them watched, Inspector.
01:21:08I have.
01:21:35Did you hear?
01:21:36Are you scared?
01:21:37No, well, not much, anyway.
01:21:39Oh, I'm very scared.
01:21:41We ought to tell the police.
01:21:42Oh, you want to be a stool pigeon?
01:21:44Oh, Kate.
01:21:45We promised we'd never tell.
01:21:46We swore.
01:21:47All right, I'll keep quiet.
01:21:50You live long enough.
01:22:09You do gymnastics, too, Mr. Newton?
01:22:11Yes, yes.
01:22:12No, I was watching.
01:22:13I mean, looking for one of the girls.
01:22:15I'm looking for girls myself.
01:22:16Can you tell me where the second form is?
01:22:18Oh, no, no, absolutely not.
01:22:32Girls, did any of you ever know Holden, a farm woman?
01:22:37No.
01:22:38No.
01:22:40Why did you say no?
01:22:46You are Brenda Pilcher, aren't you?
01:22:49Yes.
01:22:54Oh, could you come to Mrs. Rossini?
01:22:56Yes.
01:23:01Why did you tell Mrs. Rossini that you didn't know Ruth Holden?
01:23:05Just this morning, your mother told me that the poor woman was your maid for almost three years.
01:23:12Oh, you mean Tata.
01:23:14I'm so sorry, Inspector, but I always called her Tata.
01:23:17And so I had forgotten that her real name was Ruth.
01:23:20Of course I knew her, practically since I was born.
01:23:28This time it's the police who are fumbling in the dark.
01:23:30They treat me like a child playing cops and robbers.
01:23:32They could be right.
01:23:33But I'm an obstinate child.
01:23:37Those girls know what it's all about, for sure.
01:23:41Only 16 and surrounded by secret boyfriends, petty jealousies, orgies, and lesbian games.
01:23:51I'm sorry.
01:23:52I'm sorry, but it's true.
01:23:55I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing a drug scene, too.
01:23:59My God, the way they dismissed poor old Ruth Holden.
01:24:05Enrico, please.
01:24:07The killings were all linked to Ruth Holden.
01:24:12Only, why dress like a priest?
01:24:18What if it were a priest?
01:24:23Who confessed them, absolved them, and killed them?
01:24:29Calm down, darling.
01:24:37One day we'll find this Solange.
01:24:39Until then, you ought to keep a clear head.
01:25:01Come here.
01:25:06You naughty girl.
01:25:08Do you want me to have a heart attack?
01:25:12Oh, Solange.
01:25:30Who is it?
01:25:31It's Philip, Mamie.
01:25:37What's the matter?
01:25:38Why couldn't he call?
01:25:39Something's come up.
01:25:40Come to Battersea Amusement Park tomorrow afternoon.
01:25:43About two.
01:25:44He'll be there.
01:25:46You must come.
01:25:47Do you hear?
01:25:49It's very important to everyone.
01:25:52If you fail to show up, the police will move in.
01:26:04Here, here, here, and here.
01:26:08Ordinary cars, and for God's sake, not the usual plainclothes men's faces.
01:26:12I don't want you to miss a thing.
01:26:15But without staring at everybody as if they were from outer space,
01:26:18we're going to organize an ingenious little...
01:26:24a little trap for tomorrow afternoon.
01:26:26At two o'clock.
01:26:41Over here.
01:26:45You go on.
01:26:46Go on, I'll wait.
01:26:57Solange?
01:27:09Solange!
01:27:18Solange.
01:27:21Don't you remember me?
01:27:23Brenda.
01:27:24Solange.
01:27:31Solange, come with me.
01:27:41You just disappeared.
01:27:42Why haven't you ever called me again?
01:27:50Let's look over here.
01:28:02Inspector.
01:28:03Don't salute, you fucking idiot.
01:28:07You can't just drop out of sight and never see me again.
01:28:19I don't understand.
01:28:24All right.
01:28:54But where is Brenda?
01:28:59Come on.
01:29:13Excuse me, Father, but have you seen two girls passing this way?
01:29:16Yes, they went this way.
01:29:23They walked right past me.
01:29:26Ten seconds later, when I turned around, they were gone.
01:29:35I saw the car moving off, but there was a priest driving and nobody else seemed to be in it.
01:29:38I thought it was probably one of our own cars.
01:29:43They can't have gone far, Inspector.
01:29:45We got the roadblocks up in no time flat.
01:29:52We are doing everything possible.
01:30:01She was last seen walking off with another girl, but not one of her school friends, that I'm sure of.
01:30:07So I want you to try hard to remember her friends, the ones from outside the school.
01:30:12Inspector Barr.
01:30:17Mr. Baskin.
01:30:18Inspector.
01:30:20My daughter Solange.
01:30:23She's not in the house.
01:30:25I went out for a moment.
01:30:26When I got back, she was gone.
01:30:29Have you got a picture of her?
01:30:31Oh, yes, yes.
01:30:34I thought it would be needed.
01:30:35Here.
01:30:40Thank you.
01:30:41Sergeant Kramer.
01:30:42Solange is Baskin's daughter.
01:30:44The girl's damn sick.
01:30:45Here.
01:30:46Baskin keeps her very close.
01:30:48It's not the kind of thing you talk about much, anyway.
01:30:50But last year she wasn't ill.
01:30:52I know she fell ill recently.
01:30:54The doctors call it infantile regression.
01:30:58But why should you have a different last name?
01:31:00Well, she is the daughter of a married woman.
01:31:02Christ, can't you think about anything else now?
01:31:04Where the hell's Sergeant Kramer?
01:31:07Ah, how good of you to come.
01:31:09Sergeant Kramer.
01:31:11Is this the girl who was walking with Brenda?
01:31:13Yes, sir.
01:31:20There.
01:31:21You can see.
01:31:23They forced the door from the outside.
01:31:33Where is your daughter's room?
01:31:43They forced the door to her room, too.
01:31:46My little Solange.
01:32:11Ever since she became ill,
01:32:14I've always kept her in the house.
01:32:16But now...
01:32:19There's nothing I can do here, Professor.
01:32:23Stay by the phone, Mr. Baskin.
01:32:25I'll let you know the moment we've found her.
01:32:32We'll stay if you want to keep you company.
01:32:35No, thank you.
01:32:37I prefer to stay alone.
01:32:40If you need anything, just ring us up.
01:32:50He managed to hide Solange from everybody but the killer.
01:32:54And obviously, Solange was a bait for the killer's trap.
01:32:57It had to be.
01:33:01Solange was only in the first form last year, wasn't she?
01:33:05Did anybody say she wasn't?
01:33:10Where are you going?
01:33:25Solange.
01:33:27She can't.
01:33:29But you can.
01:33:32I want to know all of it.
01:33:34You understand?
01:33:36All.
01:33:44I knew that Tata knew all about those things.
01:33:50All of this went to her house on bicycles.
01:34:08Get on with it.
01:34:10Every tiny detail.
01:34:20Once we got to Ruth Holden's house, the argument started.
01:34:26Suddenly, it appeared that not everyone was in favor of this.
01:34:32Frankly, Elizabeth and Hilda were very much against it.
01:34:37And they tried to talk Solange into backing out and just letting nature take its course.
01:34:44But the rest of us were able to persuade her that she had to go through with it.
01:34:50That there was no other way out.
01:35:01What did you do to Solange?
01:35:09Get a move on.
01:35:10On the table.
01:35:11You're not going to hurt me now, are you, Tata?
01:35:13If you do suffer a little, you deserve it.
01:35:17You others, hold her tight, understand?
01:35:21Keep the legs apart, huh?
01:35:36Now you just think about screwing and grit your teeth.
01:36:03Have a bite on that.
01:36:34Enrico, are you sure?
01:36:48Who is it?
01:36:49Mr. Brine, please.
01:36:50He's not at home.
01:36:51I'm Professor Rossini.
01:36:52Open the door, please.
01:36:53Are you really sure?
01:36:55If I wasn't, I wouldn't be here.
01:36:57Come on.
01:37:00Hilda didn't want to tell me anything.
01:37:02She didn't mention me or any of the others.
01:37:05But she had already betrayed herself in the confessional.
01:37:10Janet, however, told me nearly everything in the confessional.
01:37:16And then, just before I killed her...
01:37:34You're perfectly sure nobody took away any books after she had?
01:37:39We never even come into this room.
01:37:43Neither me nor Mr. Bryant.
01:37:45It's not here.
01:37:46The Italian book is not here.
01:37:48Let's go back.
01:38:18Now you're the last.
01:38:34Look, Inspector.
01:38:35The door's been repaired.
01:38:36There's nobody here.
01:38:37He's out looking for the girl.
01:38:38We might as well leave.
01:38:39But, Inspector...
01:38:40Well, what can I do without a warrant?
01:38:43You've got no proof.
01:38:45Nobody even grounds for suspicion, Mr. Arseni.
01:38:55You see?
01:38:56A second-form Italian book.
01:38:58Solange never got to the second form.
01:39:00So why is it here?
01:39:02An Italian book that should be at Janet's house isn't.
01:39:05It's right here.
01:39:06Why?
01:39:07Why, Inspector?
01:39:23This is Inspector Bart.
01:39:25I want you to advise all patrols to search for...
01:39:32I see it here and there, sir.
01:39:36Are you still on the line, Inspector?
01:39:40Inspector!
01:39:42There's something wrong, sir.
01:39:47Inspector Bart!
01:39:55You're Solange, aren't you?
01:40:03Where's your father?
01:40:28Solange!
01:40:31Solange!
01:40:44Solange!
01:40:47They found you.
01:40:49Oh, my little Solange.
01:40:52Where did you find her?
01:40:55She sort of found herself, Mr. Bascombe.
01:40:59Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?
01:41:14Well?
01:41:45Oh!
01:41:51Bart!
01:41:53Inspector Bart!
01:41:56Inspector!
01:41:58Inspector Bart!
01:42:00You stay here.
01:42:02Come on.
01:42:31Come on.
01:43:00No!
01:43:07No!
