00:00:00The End
00:00:36I don't know.
00:01:13Hello?
00:01:16Hello, who is this?
00:01:21Who is this?
00:01:39I don't know.
00:01:42I don't know.
00:01:45I don't know.
00:01:51I don't know.
00:01:53I don't know.
00:02:02Hold it.
00:02:04That's it.
00:02:06Go on, one more.
00:02:08That's it.
00:02:09Hold it.
00:02:10Perfect.
00:02:10Once more.
00:02:11Lovely.
00:02:12That's it.
00:02:14Just one more.
00:02:15That's fine.
00:02:16All right.
00:02:16It's a wrap.
00:02:17Off you go.
00:02:18Go and have a drink.
00:02:19Yep.
00:02:38Don't worry, Toby.
00:02:39It's enemy, boy.
00:02:40Yes.
00:02:41Yes.
00:02:43Shut up!
00:03:12Hello, Murchison.
00:03:13Oh, Mr. Cleves.
00:03:15Susie not home, then?
00:03:16No, sir.
00:03:16Miss Martin's not here at the moment.
00:03:19I just bought some food for the dog.
00:03:21We'll wait for her.
00:03:27Two-part.
00:03:28I best fillet steak.
00:03:29For a dog.
00:03:40What's going to be, Bruno?
00:03:41Oh, no.
00:03:42It's okay.
00:03:42I often pop in to make myself a hoe.
00:03:44It's okay, Toby.
00:03:46It's only me.
00:03:47Toby.
00:03:49You see.
00:03:51There's gonna be scotch, vodka,
00:03:53Susie's the kind of girl who's got everything.
00:03:55So I see.
00:03:56Beautiful.
00:04:00Terrible.
00:04:01Hmm?
00:04:02I didn't take him.
00:04:03Greg Miles.
00:04:04He's missed that.
00:04:04He misses everything.
00:04:06If he's spat in your eye,
00:04:07he gets saliva on your kneecaps.
00:04:09Pardon?
00:04:10Oh, come on and have that drink.
00:04:11No, no, no, no.
00:04:12I will wait until she arrives.
00:04:14You Sicilians carry good manners too far.
00:04:19She lives here all alone.
00:04:21Hold alone.
00:04:23I will have to get used to that.
00:04:26Girls living alone without male protection.
00:04:30Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:04:32My sister would not be permitted to live alone.
00:04:38Terry!
00:04:39Did Merchanson let you in?
00:04:40Wanted to surprise you for your birthday.
00:04:42My birthday was two months ago.
00:04:44You mean you had it early this year?
00:04:45Hmm.
00:04:45Anyway, the prime object of the visit is Bruno here.
00:04:48He wanted to meet you and I told him I had a little influence
00:04:50in that direction.
00:04:51Miss Martin, Bruno Varela.
00:04:54I am deeply honored.
00:04:55He's for real.
00:04:56Bruno was into psychology over here in a study course
00:04:59and staying with me.
00:05:00Been badging me for days for an introduction.
00:05:02Isn't that right, Bruno?
00:05:03You saw those shots I took of you and it was love at first sight.
00:05:06Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:07No, it was the second sight.
00:05:08I have seen you before, Miss Martin, in the magazines.
00:05:12Is there no way of parking this time?
00:05:12I left it outside the fire station, sir.
00:05:15I'm sorry.
00:05:16I didn't know you were expecting company.
00:05:18Well, neither did I.
00:05:20Bruno something.
00:05:21Hello.
00:05:21Terry Cleaves, Greg Miles.
00:05:23We've met.
00:05:25Have we?
00:05:26Yes.
00:05:27In that clockwork push-button house of yours you call home.
00:05:31Oh, no, you don't remember because you were as high as a kite at the time.
00:05:34The automatic bed folded up with you inside it.
00:05:39Oh, that party.
00:05:40That party.
00:05:45I'll be seeing you, Susie.
00:05:47Come on, Bruno.
00:05:51Miss Martin.
00:05:53Mr. Miles?
00:05:54Yes.
00:06:00Funny.
00:06:01You never think of them as old until they start dressing young.
00:06:05Is there still time for a drink?
00:06:07No, you go home, Bruno, eh?
00:06:09I've got things to do.
00:06:11He's a funny chap, Terry Cleaves.
00:06:13Yes, how funny.
00:06:14All that aggression boiling up under the surface.
00:06:16No, Terry's a cynic.
00:06:18He's his own worst enemy sometimes, but not aggressive.
00:06:20Possessively?
00:06:21Yes, well, perhaps there's a right to be.
00:06:23We worked together for quite some time.
00:06:25Worked?
00:06:26Yes, Greg.
00:06:28Worked.
00:06:29I guess he feels that I owe him something.
00:06:33And do you?
00:06:34No.
00:06:35He made it big, I made it big.
00:06:36We're quick.
00:06:37Yes, well, you're going to make it even bigger if I manage to pull off this next one.
00:06:39You know they're going to build the whole campaign just round you, do you?
00:06:42Yes, you told me.
00:06:42But there's an if.
00:06:44If.
00:06:44Well, they're frightened the whole thing will backfire if you go on writing for this women's lib magazine.
00:06:50I have to go feed Toby.
00:06:52Look, they want to build you off as the most feminine woman in the world.
00:06:54Great.
00:06:55If you go on writing this column, they...
00:06:58Look, if I have my face and my figure, not my mind.
00:07:00Darling, they think it'll blow the whole deal.
00:07:03Would you get back?
00:07:09It's 874.
00:07:11Hello?
00:07:18Who was it?
00:07:19I don't know.
00:07:20I hung up.
00:07:20Oh, but there was someone there.
00:07:22Well, I suppose so.
00:07:23It wouldn't have rung otherwise, would it?
00:07:24Well, you didn't hear anything, did you?
00:07:27Well, I told you, whoever it was, they didn't say anything.
00:07:30Well, you didn't hear any breathing.
00:07:33Breathing?
00:07:35What are you getting at?
00:07:37Nothing.
00:07:38There is something.
00:07:39Come on, what is it?
00:07:41Well, it's just the last few days I've been getting some pretty strange phone calls.
00:07:46Who from?
00:07:47Well, I don't know.
00:07:49The phone rings, I pick it up.
00:07:51There's somebody there, but he never says anything.
00:08:24There's anybody in here that call.
00:08:25Toby, what did I tell you about the furniture?
00:08:27now you're absolutely
00:08:29incorrigible. Come on, let's go.
00:08:32Right to your basket.
00:08:34To your basket,
00:08:36Toby.
00:08:42Sleep time.
00:08:58Sleep time.
00:09:29Hello?
00:09:36Look, who is this?
00:09:40Look, will you please go away and just stop
00:09:42bothering me?
00:09:43Look, if you don't, I'm going to call the police.
00:09:45Is that what you want? For me to call the police?
00:09:48Look, what do you want?
00:09:50I love you,
00:09:53Susie.
00:09:54I want you all to myself.
00:09:59Oh, my God.
00:10:38I'm sorry if I disturbed you, Miss Martyn. I wouldn't have wanted that.
00:10:41Well, good night.
00:10:43Good night, Miss Martyn.
00:11:09Emergency. Which service do you require?
00:11:12Police.
00:11:41PHONE RINGS
00:11:55Miss Martyn?
00:11:56Oh, yes. Please come in.
00:12:04Well then, Miss?
00:12:06Well, it seems kind of silly now.
00:12:09Someone said you sounded frightened.
00:12:10Well, I suppose I was at the time.
00:12:13Well, we have to make a report, Miss.
00:12:15It's about some phone calls that I've been receiving.
00:12:27Well, until tonight, he's never said anything, but tonight he spoke.
00:12:31What did he say?
00:12:33Oh, look, I don't think there's any point in...
00:12:35I'd like to know, Miss.
00:12:41Well, he said that he loved me.
00:12:44Loved you.
00:12:45Yes.
00:12:46Nothing else?
00:12:47No.
00:12:48No threats?
00:12:49Or the usual thing?
00:12:50No.
00:12:51But you were frightened.
00:12:53Well, yes.
00:12:54It was very scary.
00:12:56He seemed so close.
00:13:04It takes quite a time to trace a call.
00:13:06And unless you can keep him talking...
00:13:08I think I'll just forget about it.
00:13:10Well, perhaps he's said his piece, all that he has to say.
00:13:13I wouldn't rely on it.
00:13:15Toby!
00:13:16Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:13:18I'll be right back.
00:13:21Toby!
00:13:22Toby!
00:13:22What on earth?
00:13:23Now, just be quiet, for God's sakes.
00:13:26Come on, now.
00:13:27Behave yourself.
00:13:36Sorry about that.
00:13:42If you do get any more calls...
00:13:44I'll be sure and ask for you.
00:13:45Or me.
00:13:46Venner.
00:13:46Constable Venner.
00:13:47Oh, I nearly forgot the most important question.
00:13:49Is your phone number public property, too?
00:13:51Oh, no.
00:13:51No, no, I'm not listed.
00:13:52Probably someone you know, then.
00:13:54Oh, someone with influence.
00:14:04Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:14:25no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:30Toby? Toby, what's gotten into you?
00:14:41Toby? Really?
00:14:48Honestly, Toby, it's not like you, you know.
00:14:53Earth has gotten into you. Come here, you silly little dog.
00:14:57You're becoming neurotic, you know. Come on, straighten up.
00:15:05Craig!
00:15:18Women are funny things. I created her, you know.
00:15:22She's a plain little American student I found in the library sheltered from Lorraine.
00:15:26Susanna Marnley. And I took her and turned her into Susie Martin.
00:15:30No, no, no, no. She was never plain.
00:15:32OK. She didn't know how to move, how to hold herself.
00:15:35Well, I took her and told her every trick I know.
00:15:41And now, Susie, Greg Miles, eh?
00:15:47You English should understand that better than most.
00:15:51You call women birds over here.
00:15:54And eventually, all the birds fly the nest.
00:15:58Where?
00:15:59Unless you clipped their wings.
00:16:03Did they take anything?
00:16:04No, nothing.
00:16:05You must have beat me up with the sheer joy if it hit me from behind.
00:16:08I didn't stand a chance.
00:16:10Hey, I thought you said it was a gang.
00:16:12Of course it was a gang. You don't think one man would do this to me, do you?
00:16:16I keep fit, you know. I'm still...
00:16:18Don't you think you'd better answer that?
00:16:33Well, it could have been just one man.
00:16:38No, of course not.
00:16:40Then you heard them running away.
00:16:41I told you, no. I was out cold. I've been lying there ever since I left.
00:16:47Yes, and then you came back up the fire escape.
00:16:53Well, it was Nero, was it?
00:16:54Yes, and you wouldn't let me call the police. Now, why?
00:16:57Well, darling, you feel such a fool, don't you?
00:16:59Look, you didn't want to be seen. Now, why, Greg?
00:17:01Because of my wife, I am not supposed to be here.
00:17:04You told me that you were separated.
00:17:06Well, we are. I mean, we might as well be.
00:17:09It's...
00:17:10It's just that her money paid for the studio.
00:17:12I mean, she can be a very vicious lady, given cause.
00:17:19It doesn't affect anything, does it? Treena?
00:17:22Well, there isn't anything to affect.
00:17:25Is there, Greg?
00:17:50What the hell has that got to do with my product?
00:17:52Well, the amateurs write in, they like that kind of information.
00:17:55F8 at 125...
00:17:56I'm sorry, this photograph is going to be swamped with pulchritude.
00:17:59Do you have a pin?
00:18:00No, dear, it means familiarity. No, I do not have a pin.
00:18:20That's all right.
00:18:22Hello?
00:18:27Hello?
00:18:29Susie.
00:18:32I love you, Susie.
00:18:35I want to cherish you.
00:18:39I want to smother you and roses.
00:18:43Look, would you just stop talking to me about the dress?
00:18:46I think it would be better if you take it off.
00:18:49The dress, if I'm going to lift that hem, I think it...
00:18:52Are you all right?
00:18:53All right, my lovelies.
00:18:55Come on, the master's here.
00:18:57Don't stand about.
00:18:57Let's do some work, shall we?
00:18:58Yes, let's do some work, shall we?
00:18:59First of all, my product...
00:19:00Your product will be loud and clear.
00:19:03Look, I haven't fixed the dress yet.
00:19:04All right, darling, we're not seeing the dress.
00:19:06I'm shooting close.
00:19:07How many people knew about this for a call today?
00:19:09How many people knew that I'd be here?
00:19:11I don't know.
00:19:11It's not supposed to be secret, is it?
00:19:13Those props are terrible, darling.
00:19:15They're dull as ditch water.
00:19:16Well, I just thought...
00:19:16I'll tell you what we need.
00:19:17Yes?
00:19:18Bunch of roses.
00:19:19What?
00:19:20A nice big bunch of roses.
00:19:42Oh!
00:19:43Oh, Peter!
00:19:45Who wanted to surprise you?
00:19:47Oh...
00:19:47Well, you certainly did that.
00:19:49Come on.
00:20:02You are... smashed.
00:20:04Bruise, bruise, slightly bruise.

00:22:19hello
00:22:21Susie. Oh, Terry. Didn't wake you, did I? No. I wondered if you could manage lunch tomorrow
00:22:28with me and Bruno. Who? Bruno, the Sicilian with the fleshing teeth. Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, Terry,
00:22:34I can't. I've got a phone call out of... Susie. Susie, have you got another toothbrush? It's in
00:22:39the cabinet. I've got a phone call out of town. I'm sorry. Have you got company? Yes, as a matter
00:22:44of fact, I have. Oh, that Greg Miles moves fast for an old man, doesn't he? Look, you're quite
00:22:48wrong about that. Oh, I thought I heard a man's voice. As a matter of fact, you did. And
00:22:53it's none of your business. When they fly, Linus, they fly.
00:23:17I'm only the girl who keeps things straight around here, but you are drinking too much.
00:23:22Champagne isn't drinking. It's a way of life. No, you don't look very lively. It's only an ego
00:23:29after all. Susie. I mean, that's what this is all about, isn't it? Bruised ego. Your first
00:23:35defeat in how many bottles? You're wrong, you know. It isn't like that with Susie. It's
00:23:41just that she stays in the mind. You are not going to add Susie to your collection. Isn't
00:23:46that what you once said to me? A gentleman doesn't mention that kind of thing. Yes, well,
00:23:51now, as you so often tell me, I'm no gentleman. No, you're just middle-aged and clutching out
00:24:01for youth. Good night, Greg. Betty.
00:24:13You're wrong, you know. It isn't like that. It's just that I think about it all the time.
00:24:23I'm obsessed with it. It was a man's voice. Definitely. Hey! I am just going to mail these.
00:24:44I hope you wake up without a hangover. Hey, Susie, you haven't kissed me goodnight yet. You
00:24:52always used to kiss me goodnight. You're not mad at me, are you? No, but I do wish that
00:25:04you'd learn to drink before you drink, if you know what I mean. If you know what I mean.
00:25:10Goodnight, Peter. Oh, Peter, if the phone goes, just let it ring.
00:25:29Me?
00:25:31...
00:25:32...
00:25:38Oh, my God.
00:26:10Oh, my God.
00:26:34Oh, my God.
00:27:03Oh, my God.
00:27:08Oh, my God.
00:27:23Oh, my God.
00:27:43Oh, my God.
00:28:03He tied one on last night, so I let him stay here.
00:28:06What time is it?
00:28:07Uh, nearly ten.
00:28:08I've got to go.
00:28:09Look, take these, make some coffee, and I'll be back.
00:28:12Coffee, sure, yeah.
00:28:17Who is it?
00:28:18Who is it?
00:28:18Miss Martinholm?
00:28:20Uh, yeah, uh, Susie.
00:28:22Susie, we've got company.
00:28:24What's it all about?
00:28:28Oh, my God.
00:28:30Do you know Peter Marley, miss?
00:28:32Oh, well, yes, of course.
00:28:34He's my brother.
00:28:35Well, you saw him here last night.
00:28:38Well, is something wrong?
00:28:41Has something happened to Peter?
00:28:42I'm afraid so.
00:28:44I'm afraid so, miss.
00:28:45He was knocked down at 6.30 this morning, not far from here.
00:28:48A hit and run.
00:28:48The driver didn't stop.
00:28:50Oh, my God.
00:28:52Well, is he badly hurt?
00:28:54Where is he?
00:28:56I'm afraid he's dead, miss.
00:28:58Susie.
00:28:59Dead?
00:29:02Dead?
00:29:05Oh, no.
00:29:07Oh, no, no, no.
00:29:08He couldn't possibly be dead.
00:29:10He was here last night.
00:29:11He can't be.
00:29:12He isn't dead.
00:29:13He isn't.
00:29:14Let's pray for Susie, please.
00:29:20Well, sorry about your brother, miss.
00:29:22I really am.
00:29:246.30 in four.
00:29:25As near as we can place it, yes, miss.
00:29:276.30.
00:29:31But they's nowhere open at that time.
00:29:34Peter couldn't have possibly bought these.
00:29:44Here you go.
00:29:50Here's from him!
00:29:52If there's anything...
00:29:54Ah, don't worry.
00:29:56She really ought to see a doctor, you know.
00:29:58Don't worry, I'll look after her. I always have.
00:30:02Mr Cleave?
00:30:04Is something wrong? Can I help?
00:30:06Yes, Murchison. Something is very wrong.
00:30:08Miss Martin's brother has been killed.
00:30:10But it's all, I don't need any help.
00:30:12Brother? Kill?
00:30:15I'll do anything for Miss Martin, sir, anything.
00:30:18Here.
00:30:27Grief is a private affair.
00:30:30Don't know if I should have left her alone tonight.
00:30:32She's pretty cut up, poor kid. Understandable.
00:30:35Did she ask you to stay? No.
00:30:38In any case...
00:30:41I think it would be wiser if you were to stay away from her altogether.
00:30:46Or at least until she calls you.
00:30:48Bruno?
00:30:48Yes?
00:30:50Nothing.
00:30:51You were?
00:30:54I gave him a go and over.
00:30:56Greg Mars, the other night a hunger bouts to decay.
00:30:57Martin must have been crazy.
00:30:58I know, I know, I know.
00:31:00Or at least I guessed.
00:31:03Your attitude.
00:31:05There was a spot of blood on your scar.
00:31:08Oh, I am a very observant man.
00:31:11Oh, yes.
00:31:13I like to observe.
00:31:17I shouldn't have left her alone.
00:31:20Give it a few days.
00:31:23Stay away from her.
00:31:26Just for a few days.
00:31:28Just for a few days.
00:31:45Oh.
00:31:45Oh.
00:31:46Dog food, miss.
00:31:47Oh, yes, yes.
00:31:48Just put it over there, please.
00:31:50All right.
00:31:54Going out, are you, miss?
00:31:55Mm-hmm.
00:31:57I was sorry to hear about your brother, miss.
00:31:58Very sorry.
00:31:59Well, thank you.
00:32:00It came as quite a surprise to me.
00:32:01I didn't know about your brother.
00:32:03Well, your parents, yes.
00:32:03Where you was born, all that.
00:32:04But not your brother.
00:32:06Well, there's no reason why you should.
00:32:09Oh, I know all about you, miss.
00:32:10From papers and magazines, I keep every clipping.
00:32:13And pictures.
00:32:14I've got a picture of you over my bed.
00:32:16Yes.
00:32:17Well, you're a celebrity, miss.
00:32:18I'm proud to have you in my block, under my care, so to speak.
00:32:21Yes.
00:32:21I'm always being asked questions about you.
00:32:23But I don't tell.
00:32:25That'd be like sharing you.
00:32:26That wouldn't be proper at all.
00:32:28But your being a celebrity, miss,
00:32:31it makes me important, too.
00:32:34Yeah, anything else you want, miss?
00:32:35Oh, no, thank you.
00:32:36Emergency.
00:32:37Well, you don't have to tip me, miss.
00:32:39Oh, come on now.
00:32:40It's my pleasure.
00:32:43Well, thank you.
00:32:45Good night, miss.
00:32:45Good night.
00:33:32I don't like that dress you're wearing.
00:33:35Susie. It's too revealing. Much too revealing.
00:33:41Who are you?
00:33:42You can't close me out, Susie.
00:33:47All that dress, it's much too revealing.
00:33:50I don't like you flaunting yourself to other men.
00:33:54You killed him, didn't you? You killed my brother!
00:33:58Take off the dress, Susie. For me.
00:34:05You just go away and leave me alone!
00:34:08No. I shall always be so close to you, Susie.
00:34:16But you do lead me a dog's life.
00:34:21A dog's life.
00:34:26Yes, that's right. Go look in the kitchen.
00:34:31Who is what they say they can do?
00:34:33Oh, Toby.
00:34:34Oh, shit.
00:34:39It's just a little dog.
00:34:41It's just a little dog.
00:34:44It's just a little dog.
00:34:44He's just...
00:35:04Look.
00:35:05Please don't hurt him. Don't hurt him.
00:35:07You're still wearing that dress, Susie.
00:35:11And you know I don't like that dress.
00:35:13Look, for God's sake, just tell me he's all right.
00:35:15I don't like the dress you're wearing, Susie.
00:35:18Look, tell me he's all right. Please!
00:35:21You'll have to do as I say, Susie.
00:35:24Yes, yes, anything you say, anything.
00:35:26You love that dog too much, Susie.
00:35:28He won't have enough love left for me.
00:35:31Look, I'll do anything you say.
00:35:33Please don't hurt him, please.
00:35:35The dress, Susie.
00:35:38Tear it off.
00:35:41I want to hear it, Tear.
00:35:45He's such a little dog.
00:35:48No.
00:35:50Please.
00:35:50I want to hear it, Tear.
00:35:57You see?
00:35:59You're never out of my sight.
00:36:02I always know what you're doing.
00:36:05So no more evenings out, Susie.
00:36:08No more evenings out with other men.
00:36:12Do you understand?
00:36:13Yes.
00:36:13Do you understand me, Susie?
00:36:15Please.
00:36:17Please tell me.
00:36:18There's a good girl.
00:36:20And good girls should get a reward.
00:36:26Oh, no, please don't hang up.
00:36:28Please.
00:36:32Don't.
00:36:48Toby.
00:36:49Oh, Toby.
00:36:51Oh, Toby.
00:36:53Oh, Toby.
00:36:54Where did you find him?
00:36:55Outside the caretaker's door.
00:36:56Oh, baby.
00:36:57What's going on?
00:36:58Oh, oh, nothing.
00:37:00Nothing.
00:37:00Tell me nothing until your dress.
00:37:02Who?
00:37:02I did.
00:37:05Whoever it is that's been telephoning me, he made me.
00:37:09He made me.
00:37:11I'll pour you a drink.
00:37:13Why did you come here anyway?
00:37:15I wonder what you get around to that.
00:37:17Just didn't want you to think you weren't trying to do something about it.
00:37:19I spoke to the inspector, told him everything you'd said.
00:37:22The phone calls, your brother, everything.
00:37:24I've got a long lecture on hysterics.
00:37:27It's the official term for women who imagine they're being persecuted.
00:37:41Play him along and you'll get confident.
00:37:43Overconfident.
00:37:45Then he'll make a slip and I'll...
00:37:47Of course, me and my spending a lot of time around you.
00:37:49I'll never be very far away.
00:37:52I can stand it if you can.
00:37:55I don't even know your name.
00:37:58Venner.
00:38:00Hal.
00:38:03No, it isn't.
00:38:04It's Henry.
00:38:06Henry.
00:38:08Silly sort of name.
00:38:09It's okay.
00:38:11Just another cross to bear.
00:38:13I'd rather you call me Hal.
00:38:14PHONE RINGS
00:38:24Well, you're not even ready yet.
00:38:26Look, darling, I haven't forgotten we're going out to dinner.
00:38:28Well, come on, Susie, snap it up.
00:38:30I'm sorry, Greg.
00:38:31I should have called.
00:38:33Eh?
00:38:34Well, I...
00:38:34I can't make it tonight.
00:38:37You...
00:38:37But it's a rage.
00:38:39I'm sorry, Greg.
00:38:40I just don't feel up to it.
00:38:42But, uh...
00:38:45All right.
00:38:46Damn it.

00:38:48No, not any night.

00:39:28Good night, Miss Martin.
00:39:29Good night.

00:39:35Dicky.

00:39:38He gives me a hard time.

00:39:41Anyway, it's none of his damn business.

00:44:34It'll be around two old days, if you like.
00:44:35Oh, I like it, I like it.
00:44:37I told you I couldn't get away yesterday.
00:44:38I was giving evidence and call.
00:44:39Well, I was so lonely, I nearly called Greg.
00:44:42That would be silly.
00:44:43No evenings out with other men.
00:44:44That's what he said, didn't he?
00:44:45And we're playing him along.
00:44:47Yes, I just feel like such a hermit.
00:44:54You promised me.
00:44:55Well, I was going to do it.
00:44:57It's just that I'll miss him so much.
00:45:00Now, we agreed.
00:45:01Toby's better in kennels, he's safe there.
00:45:03Nobody can get at him, or at you through him.
00:45:05I know, I just hate to take him in.
00:45:07Then I'll do it for you.
00:45:07Oh, no, no, I'll do it.
00:45:09Don't be silly.
00:45:10After all, he is my dog.
00:45:12It's only right that I should be the one to take him in.
00:45:15Okay, but you promise.
00:45:16Yes, yes, I will, I promise, today.
00:45:19All right, Susie, you're doing fine.
00:45:22And that outfit isn't giving you much to complain about, either.
00:45:24Yes, but don't you see, he's won.
00:45:26I wanted to feel he's won, we agreed that, too.
00:45:28I just can't take much more of this.
00:45:30That's why I'm here.
00:45:32I've seen what he's been doing to you waiting,
00:45:33and I think you should get away for a while.
00:45:35Where to?
00:45:36Somewhere quiet.
00:45:36Somewhere where he won't find you.
00:45:37Where? A hotel?
00:45:38No, I've got to be proud of you.
00:45:40Hey, you said you'd only be a couple of minutes.
00:45:41I'm just coming.
00:45:42Morning, Miss Martin.
00:45:44How long are you going to be?
00:45:46Look, I don't mean to get you into any trouble,
00:45:48but where did you have in mind?
00:45:50Eh?
00:45:51Somewhere quiet.
00:45:51Oh, that, yes, I'll think of something.
00:45:53Can't you better get back to the car?
00:45:54How long are you going to be?
00:45:55A couple of seconds, now go on.
00:45:57Well, what happens if the station calls you?
00:45:58Say, do you want me to pull rank on you?
00:45:59What rank?
00:46:00Just hold the fort another minute, Dickie.
00:46:02There's a pal.
00:46:03All right.
00:46:04One minute, Miss Martin.
00:46:11Susie, I've got a little cottage just outside Cambridge,
00:46:13a village called Minsterly.
00:46:15My uncle died in there, too.
00:46:18It's quiet, marks from anywhere.
00:46:20We could go there.
00:46:21Look, anything to get away from here.
00:46:23It's not palatial, you understand.
00:46:24They call it Rose End Cottage,
00:46:25but there aren't any roses,
00:46:26and it may need a bit of cleaning up.
00:46:28There is more than one bedroom.
00:46:29Oh, okay.
00:46:30You mean it?
00:46:31Yeah.
00:46:32All right.
00:46:34All right.
00:46:36When are you going to pick me up?
00:46:377.30.
00:46:38I'll be ready.
00:46:39Great.
00:46:42Fine.
00:46:44Bye.
00:47:39Hello, this is Greg Miles speaking.
00:47:45Hello, could I speak with you?
00:47:46I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm out at the moment,
00:47:48but if you'd like to leave a message
00:47:50or your name and phone number,
00:47:51I'd be delighted to phone you when I return.
00:47:54But I...
00:47:55Please speak now.
00:48:04Did I hear the phone?
00:48:06More important, did you get the booze?
00:48:08Oh, yes, you funny.
00:48:10You and me.
00:48:11Like this, after how many years is it?
00:48:14What?
00:48:15Two?
00:48:15And three months.
00:48:19Well,
00:48:21at least I'm honest this time.
00:48:23At least you know the score.
00:48:24Yes.
00:48:26And you don't mind
00:48:27that I could be using it?
00:48:30Perhaps I'd like to be used.
00:48:33Hmm.
00:48:40That could be my wife.
00:48:42You answer, of course.
00:48:44All right, who is it?
00:48:45Open this door, please.
00:48:47No!
00:48:47What'll you do?
00:48:48Hang out of the window.
00:48:52I must talk with you.
00:49:03Who is it?
00:49:04Oh.
00:49:06Come on in.
00:49:07You ready?
00:49:07Yes, of course.
00:49:09Don't change your mind, then.
00:49:10Why should I?
00:49:11I don't know.
00:49:11Women always change their mind, don't they?
00:49:12Well, you don't know very much about women, do you, Hal?
00:49:16Let's go, then.
00:49:16Okay.
00:49:20Hello?
00:49:22Hello, Susie?
00:49:23Greg.
00:49:23Susie, are you free?
00:49:24Can I come over to see you?
00:49:25Oh, well, I'm sorry, Greg.
00:49:26I have to see you.
00:49:27I've just had a long talk with that man, Bruno, or something,
00:49:30and he tells me...
00:49:31Well, I'm sorry, Greg.
00:49:32I was just leaving.
00:49:33Leaving?
00:49:33Yes, leaving for the country with...
00:49:36Are you crazy?
00:49:38I forgot.
00:49:39I'm sorry.
00:49:40Come on.
00:49:41Well, surely you don't suspect Greg.
00:49:43I suspect everybody.
00:49:44Now, come on.
00:49:45Oh, not so.
00:49:52No.
00:49:54Backstairs.
00:49:55We don't want anybody to know where you're going, do we?
00:49:57No!
00:49:59It was a mistake, not the first time.
00:50:01No, Greg.
00:50:01It's no good, darling.
00:50:02I am going.
00:50:03Back to your wife.
00:50:04Well, perhaps.
00:50:05You can't.
00:50:06You can't.
00:50:06I've worked so hard.
00:50:08What do you mean, worked?
00:50:10Who do you think was using who?
00:50:13Oh, it was a mistake.
00:50:18Yes.
00:50:22You can't walk out on me.
00:50:24Nobody.
00:50:25Nobody walks out on me.
00:50:28I won't be second best.
00:50:30Do you hear?
00:50:31I won't be second best!
00:50:33I won't be second best.
00:50:33Oh, my God.
00:51:24All right.
00:51:43Sorry about the man.
00:51:44Yeah, lean on me.
00:51:51Hold on.
00:51:52There we are.
00:51:54Told you I was a man of property.
00:51:56I wonder it wasn't palatial.
00:51:58Well, it just needs a little cleaning up.
00:52:00That's the spirit.
00:52:01I'll go and get the rest of the things.
00:52:03Okay.
00:52:25I thought you said that nobody had been here in weeks.
00:52:27That's right.
00:52:29Well, this paper's dated two days ago.
00:52:31That's funny.
00:52:32Perhaps some hippie's been sleeping here.
00:52:34Oh, no.
00:52:34The door was locked.
00:52:36It wouldn't be too hard to get through an upstairs window.
00:52:38There's one that doesn't shut.
00:52:41It'll burn whatever day it is.
00:52:43There.
00:52:45I'll soon have a place nice and cosy.
00:52:47And now, champagne and caviar.
00:52:50I like to keep you in the manner to which you're accustomed.
00:52:53For a couple of days, anyway.
00:52:55Glasses.
00:52:56In the kitchen.
00:52:56Kitchen.
00:52:57Oh.
00:53:01Henry, you're marvellous.
00:53:03I quite agree with you, but not so much of the Henry, eh?
00:53:11Nice to see you smile.
00:53:13Well, I feel safe with you.
00:53:15So you should.
00:53:16Protection of the law.
00:53:18To you.
00:53:19No, to you.
00:53:20Us, then.
00:53:21All right.
00:53:25Us.
00:53:28I never believed it.
00:53:31Susie Martin.
00:53:32Glamorous, fantastic Susie Martin and a woolly old copper like me.
00:53:35Oh.
00:53:36Still seems like a dream.
00:53:39Crazy.
00:53:40How did you get that?
00:53:43That?
00:53:45I stepped in to stop a fight.
00:53:47I stopped it, all right.
00:53:48With my face.
00:53:50Well, it bothers you, doesn't it?
00:53:52Wouldn't it bother you?
00:53:54Great ugly red mark across your face.
00:53:55I hate shaving myself.
00:53:58Wouldn't that bother you?
00:53:59No.
00:54:04It doesn't bother me at all.
00:54:06I never thought any woman would do that.
00:54:09Well, I like you, Henry.
00:54:13I like you very much.
00:54:16I told you.
00:54:17Not so much of the Henry.
00:54:23I almost forgot.
00:54:25Best surprise of all.
00:54:27Don't go away.
00:54:28No.
00:54:28All right.
00:54:29All right?
00:54:42Oh.
00:54:43Oh, my God.
00:55:14.
00:55:14.
00:55:14.
00:55:15.
00:55:16.
00:55:17.
00:55:27.
00:55:28.
00:55:32Ta-da!
00:55:33.
00:55:34Susie! Susie!
00:55:37He knows I'm here!
00:55:39He knows I'm here!
00:55:40What did he say?
00:55:41He said that it was time that we met.
00:55:44He wants to meet you. Where? Susie!
00:55:46At a village pub called the Red Lion.
00:55:50He's waiting for you there now?
00:55:51Yes, that's what he said.
00:55:53Lock the door after me.
00:55:55Well, this is it, isn't it?
00:55:57Chance we've been waiting for.
00:55:58It's coming out in the open at last.
00:56:00I'm keeping that meeting for you.
00:56:02Lock the door after me. How?
00:56:05Trust me, Susie.
00:56:11.
00:56:18.
00:56:23.
00:56:24.
00:56:24Huh?
00:56:26Help!
00:57:17Oh, my God!
00:57:55Suzie.
00:58:02Suzie.
00:58:09Suzie.
00:58:12You've already dug the boat.
00:58:23Bruno.
00:58:25Something. You forgot the something.
00:58:28Isn't that what you always call me? Bruno something.
00:58:32My name is Varela. Va-re-la.
00:58:36Suzie.
00:58:39It was very bad of me to frighten you like that.
00:58:42But I couldn't resist it.
00:58:44You're always so smug.
00:58:48So.
00:58:49Your policeman friend went running off, eh?
00:58:53I thought he would.
00:58:54So it was you that called.
00:58:56From the call box at the end of the lane.
00:59:00I needed you alone, you see.
00:59:02Come, look here.
00:59:03Oh, roses.
00:59:05Rose and...
00:59:06Do it now. Get it over with.
00:59:09What?
00:59:09You've enjoyed torturing me long enough now.
00:59:11Just get it over with.
00:59:13Torture you? Torture?
00:59:14Why should I want to torture you?
00:59:17You think I...
00:59:18You think I am the wa-
00:59:21Listen.
00:59:22Oh, no. Oh, no.
00:59:24Listen to me.
00:59:25Listen.
00:59:26Listen.
00:59:26I was in your flat today, yes?
00:59:28Don't ask me why, but I stay.
00:59:30I have been getting very uneasy feelings ever since Terry disappeared.
00:59:34I overheard everything, yes?
00:59:36So then I find Greg Miles.
00:59:38He tell me the whole story, the phone calls, everything.
00:59:40So then I come down here, ahead of you.
00:59:43I search the place thoroughly.
00:59:45Oh, no.
00:59:46Michael, you still don't understand.
00:59:47Why don't you listen?
00:59:49Where do you think I found this?
00:59:52Huh?
00:59:54Upstairs.
00:59:54In his room.
00:59:56That's not all.
00:59:57I'll show you something else.
00:59:58Come.
00:59:59No, no, come, come.
01:00:00Look here.
01:00:01What is this?
01:00:02Come, come.
01:00:03Come.
01:00:04What is this here?
01:00:06Eh?
01:00:08Look.
01:00:08You.
01:00:10You.
01:00:10You.
01:00:11You.
01:00:12Every page is you.
01:00:14This is not a collection, no.
01:00:16This is an obsession.
01:00:18This is an obsession from somebody crazy in the head.
01:00:21Your precious Constable Werner.
01:00:38But I hadn't even met him before the phone calls began.
01:00:41Obviously.
01:00:42But he had been watching you.
01:00:44So when you call the police, you play straight into his hands.
01:00:48Someone with influence.
01:00:50What?
01:00:50To get my phone number.
01:00:51Someone I knew.
01:00:52Someone with influence.
01:00:53There.
01:00:54You see?
01:00:54No, no, no.
01:00:56Hal wouldn't do that.
01:00:57He wouldn't.
01:00:57All right, all right.
01:00:57All right, all right.
01:00:59Don't just take my word for that.
01:01:02Let Terry convince you.
01:01:04Terry?
01:01:04Terry's here.
01:01:05Oh, yes.
01:01:06Oh, yes.
01:01:06Terry's here.
01:01:08Yes.
01:01:14He's in there.
01:01:15Go.
01:01:15Yes.
01:01:15Let him convince you.
01:01:18Terry?
01:01:20Terry!
01:01:24Terry!
01:01:28Now you're coming.
01:01:30Yes.
01:01:30Now you're coming.
01:01:31Okay?
01:01:32All right, all right, all right.
01:01:37You didn't really think I'd leave you alone, did you?
01:01:41That phone call was just to get him away.
01:01:43I knew that.
01:01:45Came back up the same way he did.
01:01:47You all right now, Susie?
01:01:48Yes.
01:01:49Yes, I'm safe.
01:01:51I'm perfectly safe now.
01:01:52That's right.
01:01:53That's right.
01:01:53Triumph of British justice.
01:01:55Here, you're all right.
01:01:56No.
01:01:57Could I get a glass of water, please?
01:01:58Sure.
01:01:59Sure.
01:01:59Cool.
01:02:00Come on.
01:02:14Susie? You killed him, didn't you? You lured him here and then you killed him. What? What are you talking
01:02:20about? I know, you see. Bruno showed me Terry's body. Terry? Susie? Stay away from me. Just keep away. Susie,
01:02:30you flipped. Keep away.
01:02:35Susie? Don't. Susie? This is crazy. It's all over. Everything's all right. There's no need to be frightened of me.
01:02:49That's better. That's my girl. That's my...
01:03:00I didn't want to care about it. I didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. He started to
01:03:07come at me. I told him to stay away. If he'd just stayed away...
01:03:11I know, I know, I know. It wouldn't have happened. It was his own damn fault. I knew he was
01:03:14up to something. It was terrible. Come on, sit down. I didn't want to do it.
01:03:18We usually have a couple of beers when we go off duty but tonight was different. He borrowed my car
01:03:22and was off without a word. I thought perhaps he'd gone to see you but you weren't there so...
01:03:27Then I thought of this place. He's been here before, you see, Henry.
01:03:34Poor old Hal.
01:03:38He was sweet on you, you know.
01:03:41Couldn't believe his luck that you even considered him.
01:03:44Wanted to impress you, bringing you to his country cottage.
01:03:49I suppose he did tell you it was...
01:03:51Yes, well, he would have done, wouldn't he?
01:03:53To impress you.
01:03:56His cottage.
01:03:58It's mine.
01:04:02So's the car.
01:04:04I just let him borrow it sometimes, that's all.
01:04:09I've always loved you.
01:04:12Wanted you.
01:04:14And now it's perfect, isn't it?
01:04:17It's just you and me alone, together at last.
01:04:21On my terms.
01:04:24In my place.
01:04:27Oh, yes.
01:04:29Mine.
01:04:30Cottage.
01:04:32Car.
01:04:34You.
01:04:36Mine.
01:04:40There's nobody left now, is there?
01:04:43I've dealt with them all.
01:04:46Is this you and me?
01:04:49I've always loved you, Susie.
01:04:53And now we've got the whole weekend ahead of us, haven't we, eh?
01:04:57The whole weekend.
01:05:00Take off our dress, Susie.
01:05:04Tear it.
01:05:06I want to hear it. Tear.
01:05:09I want...
01:05:10No.
01:05:22No.
