00:00:48Oh, my God.

00:01:00Hey, watch it!

00:01:01Come on.

00:01:32No.

00:02:05Come on.

00:02:43Nothing.

00:02:44Not a darn thing.

00:02:47And all the boyfriends that got out of eyes tighter than a miser's purse.

00:02:51Motiveless.

00:02:52The worst kind of murder.

00:02:54We're looking for a needle in a haystack.

00:02:57A nut.

00:02:58That's the only thing we can be sure of.

00:03:00No.

00:03:01There's one other thing we can be sure of.

00:03:05He'll do it again.

00:03:51Oh, hello, Miss Rogers.

00:03:53Hi, Sam.

00:03:54Working late again?

00:03:55Oh, I'm afraid so.

00:03:56You have more late nights than you do early ones, don't you?

00:03:58Well, that's the penalty of working for the overseas director.

00:04:01When I'm just finishing in England, he's just starting to call the states.

00:04:04Or Australia, or India, or wherever.

00:04:08Comes under the heading of world trade.

00:04:10Or insanity.

00:04:12I'll let you into a secret.

00:04:14My wife does not approve the hours I keep either.

00:04:18Nighter.

00:04:18Good night, Mr. Burton.

00:04:20Good night, Mr. Burton.

00:04:23Well, Sam.

00:04:23World trade.

00:04:25All the same if you want to watch it nearly locked you in again.

00:04:27Oh, Sam, you wouldn't do that, would you?

00:04:29No, no, I always check.

00:04:30Not that I mind being locked in with you, though.

00:04:32You're looking very pretty tonight, Miss Rogers.

00:04:34Why, thank you, Sam.

00:04:35Will I see you tomorrow?

00:04:37Ah, but only if you're late again.

00:04:40I'm not on till six.

00:04:41Oh, the way things are popping these days.

00:04:43I'll be late.

00:04:44You can depend on it.

00:04:45Good night, Sam.

00:04:46Good night, Miss.

00:05:16Good night.

00:08:52That was yesterday.

00:08:54We'll get him.

00:08:55With your description, we'll get him.

00:08:57Does that matter now?

00:08:59Yeah.

00:08:59It's vital.

00:09:01He isn't going to stop.

00:09:03Are you too tired to come and look at some pictures?

00:09:13I'm sorry.

00:09:13It's not your fault.

00:09:17Perhaps he isn't on fire, perhaps he'll be thinking more clearly in a day or two.

00:09:24Anyway, it's like him.

00:09:33It's like him.

00:09:37It's like him.

00:09:38And yet it's not like him at all.

00:09:39Yeah, well, it's something.

00:09:42It's a beginning.

00:09:44Hey, you're tired.

00:09:46I'm bushed.

00:09:49Oh, George, can I have a car as soon as possible, please?

00:09:53Yeah, Miss Rogers.

00:09:56Thanks.

00:09:59I'll take you home.

00:10:00I'll take you home.

00:10:02Sorry.

00:10:03I'm sorry.

00:10:11American.

00:10:13What?

00:10:13You're an American.

00:10:15From Indiana.

00:10:16Working in England.

00:10:17Yes, I work for an American company.

00:10:20Actually, I'm English by marriage.

00:10:23I didn't realize you were married.

00:10:25Oh, no, no, no, I'm, no, I'm not, I'm, I'm sorry, I'm very monosyllabic tonight.

00:10:33Are you really interested?

00:10:35I'm interested in you, yeah.

00:10:38Well, I, I met this crazy Englishman, and I was bowled over by his looks and the way he

00:10:46dressed, and I also liked his cute accent.

00:10:49And so I married him, and it, uh, didn't work out, and we got a divorce, and end of story.

00:10:56Is it?

00:10:57Probably made you wary of all Englishmen.

00:11:00A louse is a louse, whatever the nationality.

00:11:03Right on.

00:11:03Come on, I'll take you home.

00:11:17Hello, Mr. Vidden will speak to you now, putting you through.

00:11:19Yes.

00:11:20Yes, thank you.

00:11:25Parker Industries.

00:11:27I'm sorry, the line is engaged.

00:11:28Will you hold?

00:11:29Yes, one moment, please.

00:11:31Ringing for you.

00:11:33Now, I'm sorry.

00:11:35It's quite simple, madam.

00:11:37Mr. Dickinson is on the sixth floor.

00:11:39When you come out, turn left, it's a second on the right.

00:11:44Look, come with me.

00:11:46It's round here.

00:11:49That's it.

00:11:50Now, um, you've got everything you came with.

00:11:52Right.

00:11:54Sixth floor.

00:11:55First left, second on the right.

00:12:00Yeah.

00:12:15Good morning.

00:12:16Good morning.

00:12:31This is quite ridiculous.

00:12:33If they want me to work a 26-hour day, then they'll have to make arrangements to change the timescale.

00:12:38I'm sure we can get through it.

00:12:39Yes, I suppose so.

00:12:40Thanks, Anne.

00:12:41How can...

00:12:41I'll call your wife.

00:12:42Good.

00:12:44By the way, I forgot to tell you.

00:12:45This morning, while you were in a can, someone called you.

00:12:48Who?

00:12:48I've no idea.

00:12:50Penny took it.

00:12:55Well?

00:12:56Well?

00:12:57That man who's been calling you every day for months now.

00:13:01Well, who else but?

00:13:03That lovely copper of yours, and he's standing right over there.

00:13:06Mark!

00:13:09Yes, well, personally, I wouldn't trust a copper.

00:13:11And you'd be absolutely right, Penny.

00:13:14Oh.

00:13:17Goodbye, Penny.

00:13:22Not here.

00:13:36Detective Sergeant Tanner.

00:13:38Well, you started it.

00:13:39I don't know.

00:13:40It's been happening to me these past few months.

00:13:42It's funny.

00:13:43I've had the same feeling.

00:13:45Oh?

00:13:47Is that theory or deduction?

00:13:50A little bit of both, and a lot of what my heart tells me.

00:13:54Oh.

00:13:56For a tough old cop, you can be awfully corny.

00:13:59You know that?

00:14:01I can be aggravating, too.

00:14:04Our lunch date.

00:14:07It's cancelled as from now.

00:14:08I'm sorry, darling.

00:14:09Oh, I suppose you have a very good reason.

00:14:11Yeah, I think so.

00:14:12The inspector wants me over there on the double.

00:14:14There's nothing I can do about it.

00:14:15I'm sorry, darling.

00:14:17Call you later.

00:14:18You better.

00:14:21Call you later.

00:14:22Yes?

00:14:24It would have to be today.

00:14:26You know where I was going to take you.

00:14:28I think so.

00:14:30I think so.

00:15:06You know where I was going to take you.

00:15:18I think so.

00:15:18You know where I was going to take you.

00:15:19You know where I was going to take you.

00:15:19Oh, my God.

00:15:49Oh, my God.

00:16:27Oh, my God.

00:16:49Oh, my God.

00:16:53Oh, Anne.

00:17:03Oh, my God.

00:17:27Oh, my God.

00:17:32Good.

00:17:33I'll let you know.

00:17:34Good.

00:17:40Good.

00:17:46Good.

00:17:48Good.

00:17:52Good.

00:17:55Good.

00:18:05Good.

00:18:06Good.

00:18:10Good.

00:18:13Good.

00:18:14Good.

00:18:32Good.

00:18:35Good.

00:18:37Good.

00:18:38Good.

00:18:40Good.

00:18:40Please get him for me and tell him it's urgent.

00:18:42All right, I'll tell him. Hold on.

00:18:47But he won't thank me for it.

00:19:07Anne?

00:19:08Mark.

00:19:10Mark, I've seen him.

00:19:12Seen who?

00:19:13The man who killed that girl.

00:19:16I went for a walk during lunch,

00:19:18and I don't know, maybe I was thinking about us,

00:19:20but I was looking in a jeweler's shop,

00:19:22and I saw him.

00:19:23He was in the jeweler's shop,

00:19:25and he was working right there in the window,

00:19:26and I recognized him,

00:19:28and I think he recognized me.

00:19:31I mean, he stared at me, and he followed me.

00:19:32Now, hold on, darling. Hold on.

00:19:34It was him. I know it was him.

00:19:37And he followed you back to the office?

00:19:38I think so.

00:19:39Oh, you think so?

00:19:40I'm sure he did.

00:19:42You actually saw him following you?

00:19:44No, no, I didn't see him.

00:19:46Well...

00:19:46But I know he followed me.

00:19:48I sensed it.

00:19:49Mark, he's probably outside now.

00:19:51He isn't outside.

00:19:52He's inside.

00:19:54He's what?

00:19:55That's why the inspector wanted me.

00:19:57We got a lead, followed it through,

00:19:59and we made an arrest just a few minutes ago.

00:20:02You mean the man...

00:20:03The killer.

00:20:05Everything fits,

00:20:05right down to the description you gave us.

00:20:10You arrested him just a moment ago?

00:20:12That's right.

00:20:14Where?

00:20:15Well, just outside, on the street.

00:20:17Not far from you, in fact.

00:20:20And you're sure it's him?

00:20:21We will be, when we've questioned him.

00:20:24And then sometime tomorrow,

00:20:25you'll have to come down and make an identification.

00:20:29Anne, darling,

00:20:31I'm sorry to have to put you through it.

00:20:37But you are our key witness.

00:20:40Oh, no, that's all right.

00:20:42Good.

00:20:42I'm sorry, darling.

00:20:43I have to go now.

00:20:45I'll try and call you later on.

00:20:47Ciao.

00:20:47Bye.

00:20:52Right.

00:20:53You and I are gonna have a little chat.

00:21:03About the women you killed.

00:21:48I'll put you through to his secretary.

00:21:51Sorry, the line is busy.

00:21:52Will you hold?

00:21:53One moment, please.

00:21:54Hello, Parker Industries.

00:29:05Oh well he's good to me in other ways.

00:29:06He gives me time off and he never worries if I'm late.

00:29:09Look love you're never gonna catch that copper of yours if you're not gonna see him in the evening.

00:29:13Oh my gosh I completely forgot.

00:29:15He's calling me at home tonight.

00:29:17Oh no.

00:29:17There's a direct line in the foyer.

00:29:19Right.

00:29:20And one up Mr Parker's office.

00:29:23Oh Penny I just don't have time to go chasing around the building with all this work.

00:29:27Would you do me a favor?

00:29:29Sure.

00:29:29Would you make a call for me as soon as you get home?

00:29:31Yeah if I remember you know what I'm like.

00:29:33My landlady.

00:29:35Tell her Mr Tanner is going to call and tell her I probably...

00:29:39You're working late and you'll get in touch with him soonest.

00:29:41That's fine.

00:29:56Good night Sam.

00:29:58Good night love.

00:30:02Good night.

00:30:03Oh great.

00:30:07Yeah everything's okay.

00:30:10There's only one working late as far as I know.

00:30:13Miss Rogers.

00:30:15You do know Miss Rogers don't you?

00:30:18Pretty redhead.

00:30:19American girl works on the 11th floor of Mr Burton.

00:30:22The shopping works late.

00:30:25So I use the anger down.

00:30:27Lock up.

00:30:29Then wait till I let it out.

00:30:33What's up with you?

00:30:35It's not me it's Beryl.

00:30:37Beryl.

00:30:38My wife.

00:30:39My wedding anniversary and I didn't remember.

00:30:43Beryl's a large woman powerful.

00:30:47Oh dear.

00:30:48We swapped shifts before haven't we when you wanted a night off.

00:30:51Yeah but I just finished the whole day.

00:30:52I know.

00:30:53I wouldn't ask you to work on.

00:30:54Not for long anyway.

00:30:55Just till about 9.30 or 10.

00:30:57Just long enough for me to buy Beryl a drink or two.

00:30:58I'll be back as soon as I can I promise Sam.

00:31:02You do know what Beryl's like when she's mad.

00:31:07Oh all right.

00:31:08I won't forget this Sam.

00:31:11But you get back here before the cleaners arrive in the morning.

00:31:14I won't forget it.

00:31:16No.

00:31:18Another lie.

00:31:49It's pretty much today.

00:31:50It's pretty much to sleep.

00:31:50Over here.

00:31:52I'll be back with you.

00:31:53I'll bring you back.

00:31:53Oh, my baby.

00:31:54I'll be back.

00:31:56I'll be back with you.

00:32:01I'll be back with you.

00:33:16Just a minute.

00:33:27Where do you think you're going?

00:33:30Hang on a minute.

00:33:31I've seen you before.

00:33:33Earlier on today.

00:33:34I'll cry!

00:33:50Rodgers, you don't just run at it, you've spent.

00:33:55Let's go.

00:33:56Let's go.

00:33:58Let's go.

00:34:04Let's go.

00:34:18Let's go.

00:34:26Let's go.

00:35:16I don't know.

00:35:36Sam, I broke all records tonight.

00:35:40Sam?

00:35:50Sam?

00:35:51Sam?

00:36:08I can't believe it.

00:36:12Sam?

00:36:29Oh, my God.

00:36:34Oh, my God.

00:40:04Yes?

00:40:05Put me through to the police.

00:40:07Please hurry.

00:40:08One moment.

00:40:17Police?

00:40:18You have to help me?

00:40:20Please.

00:40:22Your name, miss?

00:40:23Ann Rogers.

00:40:25And, uh, what's the trouble?

00:40:27There's a man.

00:40:28There's a man.

00:40:28He's a killer.

00:40:30Where are you, miss?

00:40:31I'm in the Parker building.

00:40:33I know that, but exactly where in the Parker building?

00:40:36Which office are you in?

00:40:36I'm...

00:40:37I'm in Mr. Parker's office on the 12th...

00:40:41You...

00:40:42You knew I was in the Parker building.

00:40:44I...

00:40:45I...

00:40:47I...

00:40:49I...

00:40:50I...

00:41:12I...

00:41:14I...

00:41:22I...

00:41:23I...

00:41:28I...

00:41:29I...

00:41:30I...

00:41:31I...

00:41:33I...

00:41:34I...

00:41:35I...

00:41:36I...

00:41:38I...

00:41:39I...

00:41:42I...

00:42:10I don't know.

00:42:13I don't know.

00:42:49I don't know.

00:43:36I don't know.

00:43:38I don't know.

00:43:59I don't know.

00:44:10I don't know.

00:44:14I don't know.

00:44:25I don't know.

00:44:30I don't know.

00:45:03Oh, he did.

00:45:04He spilled everything.

00:45:06Every detail, every fact.

00:45:07Well, then if you've got a cough, what will you...

00:45:09Except none of the details are right and none of the facts fits.

00:45:12We've been wasting our time on a nut.

00:45:14I thought that's what we were looking for a nut.

00:45:16I thought that's what we're looking for.

00:45:16Yeah, but not this nut.

00:45:18What will you do?

00:45:20Book him for public nuisance?

00:45:22Yeah, something like that.

00:45:24But you'll be doing the booking.

00:45:26I'm going home.

00:45:28And not to be a detective.

00:45:29And not to be a detective.

00:45:36I'm going to clean up.

00:45:46Yes, I'll tell you.

00:45:47Yes, I'll tell him that.

00:45:48Thank you very much, yes.

00:45:50Good night.

00:45:51Good night.

00:45:52She isn't in yet.

00:45:53She's working late.

00:45:54A jeweler, eh?

00:45:55Ann said she saw the man.

00:45:56A jeweler.

00:45:57What's that got to do with it?

00:45:57The effects are here, aren't they?

00:45:59The first girl that was killed.

00:46:00Are there effects here?

00:46:01The contents of her purse?

00:46:02The second drawer.

00:46:10Just as I thought.

00:46:12A jeweler's stub for the repair of something.

00:46:14There's no name on it.

00:46:16It could be, but it's a bit of a long shot, isn't it?

00:46:18Hold on.

00:46:18It's not as long as that.

00:46:19Something Ann said to me about the second girl that was killed.

00:46:23She said, I only spoke to her once.

00:46:25She came to ask the time.

00:46:26Now, why should she ask the time?

00:46:28The watch had stopped.

00:46:29Or it was in for repair.

00:46:31They go to his shop.

00:46:32He takes a fancy to them.

00:46:34He goes back to their home.

00:46:40Did you get Ann?

00:46:41I told you, she's not in yet.

00:46:42She's working late.

00:46:43Oh, maybe they leave a line through.

00:46:52Good evening.

00:46:54Parker Industries.

00:46:55Oh, good evening.

00:46:56May I speak to Miss Ann?

00:46:57This is a recording.

00:46:58The office is closed until tomorrow.

00:47:01Would you care to leave your message starting now?

00:47:06Anyway, she's probably left by now.

00:47:08She doesn't work that late, does she?

00:47:10Not often.

00:47:11She's probably halfway home by now.

00:47:13Probably best to ring her landlady.

00:47:14Get her to call as soon as she comes in.

00:47:19.
