00:00:07Sorry I'm late, darling.
00:00:51I'm late, darling.
00:01:22Get away.
00:01:23Go on, clear off.
00:01:24Forget about him.
00:01:46What the hell is going on?
00:01:47Get out of me.
00:01:48Go on.
00:01:48Fuck off.
00:01:54I can't get this car.
00:01:55No.
00:01:56No.
00:01:58Oh, no.
00:02:01Help.
00:02:05Oh, no.
00:02:07No.
00:02:08No.
00:04:19Daddy, we're on.
00:04:21Oh, how do I look?
00:04:24Well, too much rouge.
00:04:26Not enough eyebrows.
00:04:27Oh.
00:04:28I'll do it.
00:04:29You too.
00:04:32I should look like a gay old queen.
00:04:34You should be set on me.
00:04:35Let's get the show on the road, folks.
00:04:39Take that perfectly awful thing off.
00:04:42Well, how are we doing?
00:04:43Are you ready?
00:04:44What do you think?
00:04:45Hmm, looks like a gay old queen to me.
00:04:47That's a great help.
00:04:49Shouldn't worry about it, though.
00:04:50It's turning into an orgy out there.
00:04:51You should be so lucky.
00:04:52Watch out for the guy who's come as a shrunken head.
00:04:55Real gruesome looking.
00:04:56Putting people off their food.
00:04:57Yeah.
00:05:00Daddy's a bit over the top.
00:05:01Do you mind?
00:05:02This is an integral part of my act.
00:05:04Right.
00:05:04I'm going to introduce you.
00:05:12Now, ladies and gentlemen, if I could just have your attention for a few moments,
00:05:17the time has come to introduce our special guest for the evening, flown in all the way from...
00:05:25Freeland on his fine reindeer...
00:05:28Saturday!
00:05:33Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:05:39I come not empty-handed, but laden with gifts for you all.
00:05:47Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:05:49The only trouble is I can't read the labels without respect.
00:05:53Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:06:13Daddy!
00:06:14Daddy!
00:06:43Thanks very much, Sid. Cheerio.
00:06:46Come on, lads. The boss is on his way up.
00:06:49You know it makes him nervous to see his picture in the papers.
00:06:52Come on, get these things out of the room.
00:06:56Morning, pal. Morning.
00:06:58Morning, you too.
00:06:59Morning. What are you doing here?
00:07:02Oh, l see. Give me that.
00:07:12Hmm. Only three more killing days to Christmas.
00:07:16The chief's gonna love cracks like that. Clear off you two.
00:07:20l'm afraid the assistant commissioner's breathing down our necks.
00:07:25Pal, l want to see the girl and that boy.
00:07:29Uh, the boy, uh, answered the phone when l rang her up this morning, sir.
00:07:33Uh, l said we'd be over.
00:07:35l thought it'd be better that way, cos she's in no state to come to the yard.
00:07:39Well, l suppose you're right. Have you checked the boy out?
00:07:43Yes, sir. Cliff Boyd.
00:07:46Yes, sir. Cliff Boyd.
00:07:46Cheeky young bugger.
00:07:48No record. Good family.
00:07:50Dropout. Nothing violent.
00:07:53Hmm. And the girl's father?
00:07:55Oh, rich. Rich.
00:07:58Everybody loved him.
00:08:00And, of course, uh, the girl gets the money.
00:08:05Well, that'll be a nice catch if the boy can land it.
00:08:08Pretty girl, though.
00:08:09Mm-hmm.
00:08:10Let's go.
00:08:21Oh, is the boy here, too?
00:08:24Yes, he... he lives with her.
00:08:27Right.
00:08:28Good morning.
00:08:32What do you do, Inspector?
00:08:35When do you come in?
00:08:36l'm most grateful to you, Miss Buryalski.
00:08:39Especially after the, um, well...
00:08:42My father had no enemies.
00:08:44We know that, Miss Buryalski. We know that.
00:08:46Well, Inspector, you've got your first clue.
00:08:49The one l gave you last night, this runken head.
00:08:53l'm afraid we don't have very many clues, Miss.
00:08:57There were no fingerprints on it.
00:08:58It was the costume that he was wearing.
00:09:02He was the victim of another Santa murder.
00:09:12We'll be given early next year.
00:09:14Tonight, in London, the festive atmosphere has a distinct chill about it,
00:09:19as yet another Santa Claus is slain.
00:09:22And now, the weather.
00:09:42He's going to be home for a convocation.
00:09:44I'm not sure about it.
00:09:44Will you come out?
00:09:45I'm not sure about it.
00:11:16And then on Wednesday, isn't it?
00:11:18Yes, Christmas Eve.
00:11:20Anything I can get for you?
00:11:21No, I'm afraid that breakfast is the only meal I can be sure of these days.
00:11:26I tell you, Mrs. Shelley, Christmas is no time to be a policeman.
00:11:30I shall be late.
00:11:32Until Wednesday, then.
00:11:33Goodbye.
00:11:34Goodbye.
00:11:38Did he really?
00:11:42Perhaps he'll show me some of the yard photographs on Wednesday.
00:11:48Here you are, sir.
00:11:49Thanks a lot.
00:11:50Morning, pal.
00:11:51Morning, sir.
00:11:56That girl's been on again, sir.
00:11:58I told her there was nothing new, but she wants to talk to you.
00:12:03God, I'm tired.
00:12:04I get no sleep these days.
00:12:08Do you think, sir, we might have a psychopath on our hands?
00:12:13Funny thing, pal.
00:12:15That's exactly what the assistant commissioner was bellowing at me a moment ago.
00:12:18I just tore myself away from his office.
00:12:22You know what I replied?
00:12:23It's early days yet for a pattern, I suppose.
00:12:26Guess what he answered with that damn superiority of his.
00:12:31Perhaps we can assume, then, that the killings will just stop
00:12:34and give us something to look forward to next Christmas.
00:12:38Well, the trouble is, the moment anyone puts on a Santa Claus costume,
00:12:42they become a sort of semi-holy figure, don't they?
00:12:44Like, well, to the kids, anyway.
00:12:46The whole of the West End is crammed with Santa Clauses.
00:12:50What have you got on this latest?
00:12:51Oh, a petty crook known to West End Central
00:12:54could have been pushing drugs.
00:12:56Look, this one could have been a coincidence, actually.
00:12:59Hmm?
00:13:01Well, gangland rivalry.
00:13:03Rivalry over what?
00:13:05Chestnut vending pictures?
00:13:07Thank you, pal. That was a good try.
00:13:10You gotta call the girl.
00:13:12Of course, Inspector.
00:13:14I'll be here.
00:13:17Anything new?
00:13:20There's been another killing.
00:13:22Big deal.
00:13:24If it's the chestnut vendor, it's already been in the papers.
00:13:27I haven't read the papers.
00:13:30You haven't called that lawyer back.
00:13:33My father's just been murdered. I can't concentrate.
00:13:37Yeah, right. Sorry.
00:13:40You have to come back into the real world sometime.
00:13:44Maybe that lawyer's call's important.
00:13:49He did ask one strange question.
00:13:52Harris.
00:13:54Yes.
00:13:54Yes.
00:13:57It was about you.
00:13:59He asked whether we intended in getting married.
00:14:03Did he now?
00:14:07Yes, I'd like to speak to Sergeant Powell, please.
00:14:13Sergeant Powell.
00:14:14Yes.
00:14:15My name is Giles.
00:14:17Daily News.
00:14:18Oh, Daily News.
00:14:19So you're the one responsible for these alarmist headlines, are you?
00:14:21Yes.
00:14:22Well, some of them.
00:14:24Are you any nearer to solving these dreadful Santa Claus crimes?
00:14:27Well, we're still making our inquiries.
00:14:29It's just a matter of time.
00:14:32Which means you haven't a clue who you're looking for.
00:14:35What did you say your name was again, sir?
00:14:37My name is Giles.
00:14:39Giles.
00:14:39All right, Mr. Giles.
00:14:40Well, if you want any more information,
00:14:42Chief Inspector Harris will be giving a press conference tomorrow.
00:14:44Look, forget Harris.
00:14:47Tell me, Sergeant Powell.
00:14:48Would it help your promotion prospects
00:14:50if you were to solve this case personally?
00:14:54Sorry, I don't understand.
00:14:55What are you getting at?
00:14:58Do you have any information, sir?
00:14:59Just think about what I've seen.
00:15:02I'll be in touch.
00:15:04Hey, just a minute, sir.
00:15:20Yeah, get me the Daily News, will you?
00:15:30Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:15:35Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:15:40Ha!
00:15:40Ha!
00:15:40Ha!
00:15:47Thank you, Mrs. Kay.
00:15:49Thank you, Mrs. Kay!
00:15:59Yes?
00:16:00My name's Giles, Daily News.
00:16:03You startled me.
00:16:04Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:05I didn't mean to.
00:16:06Can I ask you some questions?
00:16:07It was about my father.
00:16:09I've been told not to say anything.
00:16:10Uh, who told you not to say anything?
00:16:13Chief Inspector Harris.
00:16:15Anyway, I don't know what I can tell you that you don't know already.
00:16:18Well, my interest is at personal angle.
00:16:20I use it.
00:16:20How you're coping, what your plans are, that sort of thing.
00:16:23If you've ever lost a mother or father in unfortunate circumstances,
00:16:26you wouldn't be asking questions like that.
00:16:29Oh, but I have.
00:16:30I'm sorry, but I have to go now.
00:16:32If there's anything else you want to know, you'd better speak to the police.
00:16:35Hey, Miss Briozki!
00:16:38Merry Christmas.
00:17:17Merry Christmas!
00:17:37Excuse me. Do you do requests?
00:17:43Oh, blimey, by the look of that, you need to, eh?
00:17:47Jerry!
00:17:47Hey, where do you spring from?
00:17:49Well, you know me, mate, ducking and weaving, ducking and weaving.
00:17:52Aye, aye, aye.
00:17:53Who's the, er...
00:17:54Oh, er, this is a friend of mine, Jerry, Kate Jerry.
00:17:58Hiya.
00:17:59I haven't met you before, or are you, er, famous on TV, eh?
00:18:05Well, let me take you both for a drink, eh?
00:18:08I'll see you boys later. I'm getting a newspaper.
00:18:11What's up?
00:18:12She was on TV. Her father was killed at the Christmas party.
00:18:17Oh, it's like a Christmas party, oh, Jesus.
00:18:20I mean, what did I say? Jesus Christ.
00:18:22Oh, don't worry about it. She's just raw with grief.
00:18:25Well, look, er, tell her I'm sorry, eh?
00:18:29Don't worry.
00:18:31So, what are you up to?
00:18:32Well, I'm into, er, cameras.
00:18:34They're stealing, they're selling.
00:18:35Hey, come on, do me a favour, will you?
00:18:37I'm a photographer now, I am.
00:18:39I've got my own studio. They're not everything.
00:18:42Porn.
00:18:44Now, would I do a thing like that, would I?
00:18:47Mm, so, if you're, er, very interested,
00:18:50why don't you pop round to the studio sometime?
00:18:54Hey, I've just had a thought. Why don't you come round tonight?
00:18:57It'd be great.
00:18:58Oh, and, er, there might be some, er, change in it for you.
00:19:02Especially if you bring the, er, pretty blonde girl with you.
00:19:06Say, about six?
00:19:07Well, nothing, er, you know, er...
00:19:10Ooh!
00:19:13No, just, let's say, er, interested.
00:19:17Right, you're on.
00:19:18Yeah, it'd be great. Nice to see you.
00:19:22Oh, and, er, get that flute tune before you come round.
00:19:24Hi, hi.
00:19:34What do that creep want?
00:19:36Oh, we're invited to tea.
00:19:38Oh, yeah.
00:19:39Come on. Let's go.
00:19:44Now, come on, darling. Open up.
00:19:49Good. Lovely.
00:19:52Right. Now, we'll just, er...
00:19:54Hey, now, wait a minute. We've not finished yet.
00:19:58Now, just a few 35s.
00:20:01How about my coffee break?
00:20:02A few coffees there, isn't it? Hang on.
00:20:03Yeah, but you won't let me get to it, will you?
00:20:05It's cold, isn't it?
00:20:07Smiled. Lovely.
00:20:09Oh, just a minute. Stop.
00:20:10Look, I'm freezing. Just look at this.
00:20:12You can't be. We've got all the lamps on. Look.
00:20:16Right.
00:20:16Couple more, then we'll go outside.
00:20:19What, like this?
00:20:20Why not?
00:20:20Because I freeze to death. That's why not.
00:20:23It'll make your, er, nip-nip stand out.
00:20:27Besides, the temperature's just the same outside.
00:20:30That's great.
00:20:32Ooh, look.
00:20:34Oh, hi there.
00:20:36Ha, ha, ha, ha. Your timing's perfect.
00:20:39What does he mean by that?
00:20:41Well, you did say interesting.
00:20:44What? Oh, that.
00:20:46Oh, that's just a working clothes.
00:20:48Hey, good to see you. Come in.
00:20:50How are you, Kate?
00:20:53Anyone for coffee?
00:20:55Yeah, thanks, Gerry.
00:20:56Hi, Cliff. I'm Sharon.
00:20:58Hi, Sharon. I'm delighted.
00:21:00And I'm bloody furious.
00:21:03Word in your ear.
00:21:05Sharon there, she's, er, one of my favourite models.
00:21:08Yeah, the trouble with that, Cliff.
00:21:10If you get used a lot, you lose work.
00:21:13They say you're overexposed.
00:21:16Do you find that a problem?
00:21:19You're the other girl Gerry was telling me about.
00:21:21What other girl?
00:21:23He said we're doing some doubles later.
00:21:26Oh. Did he?
00:21:28Look, er, Kate.
00:21:29Listen, er, seems Gerry's got a bit of a problem.
00:21:32Um, he had another couple booked for tonight,
00:21:34but they, er, called in and cancelled.
00:21:37Oh, don't look at me like that.
00:21:39Come on, he's got some wigs.
00:21:40You can change your appearance. Nobody will ever know.
00:21:42It's a quick 50.
00:21:44Were you out of your mind?
00:21:47Me? Cliff, what's happening to you?
00:21:49Gerry's an old friend.
00:21:51Well, he's not one of mine.
00:21:52We're here anyway.
00:21:53You've got a good body. Why not put it to work?
00:21:58Are we ready, then?
00:21:59My God!
00:22:02You insensitive bastards!
00:22:06What have you said to her?
00:22:11Did you have to show her this?
00:22:14I ought to ram it down your bloody throat!
00:22:18What have I done now, then?
00:22:19Her father, remember?
00:22:23Christ, I've done it again, haven't I?
00:22:25Anyway, it's not for her, it's for Sharon!
00:22:29I'd better go after her.
00:22:31I don't know why.
00:22:32You won't do yourself any favours with her tonight.
00:22:36Sharon, on the other hand, she's ready and waiting.
00:22:41And afterwards, you can help me with the street shots.
00:22:45I want street shots.
00:22:50Come on, lover boy.
00:22:52Put your arm round Mum and keep her warm.
00:22:54It's cold outside.
00:22:56Yeah, right.
00:22:58Maybe we should wait for Gerry.
00:23:00I don't think Gerry got a single shot in detail,
00:23:03but I sure did.
00:23:07You're crazy.
00:23:08Want to get us all arrested?
00:23:12Oh, you're lovely.
00:23:15Uh-oh.
00:23:15Here they come.
00:23:17They'll think we're a couple of gays.
00:23:21Christ!
00:23:22And we haven't got any keys!
00:23:24What?
00:23:25Run for it! Beat it!
00:23:26Don't leave me here!
00:23:28Well, they've seen us.
00:23:30There's a girl.
00:23:39chased away!
00:23:46Ah!
00:23:47What came up?
00:23:49Come on!
00:23:51Ah!
00:23:53Ah!
00:23:54tahueauow!
00:23:58Ah!
00:24:12Oh, my God.
00:24:35Oh
00:25:06Oh
00:25:50I don't understand why you let her go home
00:25:53Well when we brought her home last night sir
00:25:55I did ask her not to leave the house without letting us know
00:25:58She's probably there
00:25:59Who is it?
00:26:02Detective Inspector Harris here
00:26:04Oh it's you
00:26:05You can come on in I'm not getting up
00:26:10I'm in here
00:26:14Look I'm losing a lot of work
00:26:16Just calm down young lady
00:26:18You should have spent the night at the station
00:26:19It was only the unfortunate circumstances of last night that saved you
00:26:23You were arrested for indecent exposure
00:26:26Indecent?
00:26:28I'm a professional
00:26:29You were in public
00:26:31Now just you calm down and answer a few questions of mine and I'll let you go back to work
00:26:35Look all I saw was the knife
00:26:37Knife?
00:26:38I think it was a knife
00:26:40Might have been a razor
00:26:41Look it was bad enough being dumped by Cliff in the middle of the night
00:26:45At the time of the attack where was he?
00:26:47I don't know
00:26:48Who do you think your attacker might have been?
00:26:50Oh I don't know it was so dark it could have been anybody for all I know it could have
00:26:55been you
00:26:56Didn't you get a look at his face?
00:26:57He was wearing a mask
00:27:00Well I'm going off I'll be about an hour
00:27:03Yeah but hang
00:27:04Where's he off to in such a hurry?
00:27:06What?
00:27:07Oh well he's always going off on his own somewhere
00:27:09Look I want you to think very carefully
00:27:11Is there anything that stands out in your mind about the attacker anything at all that
00:27:15One thing
00:27:16Go on
00:27:16His eyes they seem to smile
00:27:19Oh
00:27:20Yes
00:27:21Can you remember how tall he was?
00:27:23Oh he was quite a big man
00:27:25About my height?

00:28:22Pick up the telephone.
00:28:29You can hear me now.
00:28:31Yes, I can hear you.
00:28:33Oh, yes.
00:28:41So, Santa, did you bring me any presents?
00:28:44I'm...
00:28:46I'm not the real one.
00:28:48I just work in the department store down the road.
00:28:51Oh, I thought you were.
00:28:55You're very pretty to be working in a place like this.
00:28:58I'm not really a model. I'm a dancer.
00:29:01A dancer?
00:29:02Yeah, you want to see?
00:29:15Is that it?
00:29:16What do you expect? Flashdance?
00:29:20I... I didn't know... I didn't know what to expect.
00:29:23It's my first time in this sort of place.
00:29:26Me too.
00:29:28Really?
00:29:30You see, I live with my mother.
00:29:33So do I.
00:29:35I don't think my mother would understand.
00:29:38Does your mother know you work here?
00:29:41She ought to.
00:29:42She owns it.
00:29:44I'm just filling in.
00:29:45Oh, for another girl?
00:29:47No, for my mother.
00:29:54Look, can't we...
00:29:56Can't we...
00:29:56Yes?
00:29:58Can't we get rid of this glass and then...
00:30:01Well, you know...
00:30:02Oh, no.
00:30:03That would be breaking the law.
00:30:06Besides, who knows what you might get up to.
00:30:09Are those kitties sitting on your knee all day?
00:30:15I'd love to have you sitting on my knee.
00:30:17Would you?
00:30:18Would you like me on your knee all bouncing and raring to go?
00:30:23Would you like your hands all over me?
00:30:26Caressing me?
00:30:29Oh, yes.
00:30:35If you want to see any more, it'll cost you another five.
00:30:52What happened?
00:30:54Her boyfriend came back unexpectedly.
00:30:56I've told you.
00:30:57I never saw the girl.
00:30:58After the cops came...
00:30:59So you spent all night looking for her?
00:31:01I spent all night looking for that shit, Jerry!
00:31:05When I found him...
00:31:07That's how I got this!
00:31:09Oh, yeah.
00:31:12Oh, I suppose this must be her now.
00:31:17Maybe she's looking for you, too.
00:31:20Hello, Cliff.
00:31:22What happened to your hand?
00:31:24Came into violent contact with a certain jaw.
00:31:26Mm-hmm.
00:31:27Hello, Inspector.
00:31:29Hello, Inspector.
00:31:29Any news?
00:31:30No, I'm afraid not.
00:31:31Where were you last night, Cliff?
00:31:35Is that any of your business?
00:31:37He was with me.
00:31:43Yes.
00:31:44Yes.
00:31:44Yes, I know he was, up to the point that you stormed out of that studio.
00:31:48But I'm interested in what he got up to after that.
00:31:54What's happened?
00:31:55Sharon, the model you met last night, was attacked in the street.
00:32:01Attacked?
00:32:02Who would attack her?
00:32:03Maybe you can tell me.
00:32:05You recall how she was dressed.
00:32:07Santa Claus.
00:32:09I don't believe it.
00:32:11You took that girl outside, dressed in that costume, after all that's happened?
00:32:16You must be mad.
00:32:18That wasn't my idea.
00:32:19I didn't think that...
00:32:22Wait a minute.
00:32:23I've been on the spot for two of these killings.
00:32:25You're thinking it could have been me.
00:32:28That's ridiculous.
00:32:30What possible reason could I have for going around killing Santas?
00:32:33Oh, none, that we know of.
00:32:39I'll be seeing you around, Cliff.
00:32:42May I come and see you?
00:32:44Of course, Miss Pujalski.
00:32:45You know where my office is.
00:32:47No, I'd like to talk to you somewhere less public.
00:32:58Here's my private number.
00:33:02There are very few of these out, Miss Pujalski.
00:33:06Kate?
00:33:07Uh, you're very welcome, Kate.
00:33:10But please, not today.
00:33:15Goodbye.
00:33:16Bye-bye.
00:33:22Who are you?
00:33:23What are you doing here?
00:33:27Giles.
00:33:29Uh, evening.
00:33:31Any news?
00:33:33Yes, they, uh, said you'd be in your office.
00:33:35I was just looking for a light.
00:33:40All right, Mr. Giles.
00:33:42What have you got to tell me?
00:33:45Well, my newspaper...
00:33:46Your newspaper didn't seem to know where you were.
00:33:48In fact, they've never even heard of you.
00:33:54Here.
00:33:56Yes.
00:33:57Giles...
00:33:57Morgan.
00:34:00Yes, your Sergeant McBain showed me up.
00:34:03Yes.
00:34:04Now, you mentioned on the phone that you had some information that might lead me to the murderer.
00:34:08Now, I said, would it help your promotion prospects if you would have solved the murders personally?
00:34:15Yes, all right.
00:34:15But you do know something.
00:34:18Your Inspector Harris, does he tell you everything?
00:34:20Let you know what his movements are?
00:34:23You know, generally keep you in the picture.
00:34:25Well, I have a fair idea of what's going on.
00:34:29Now, come on.
00:34:29What are you getting at?
00:34:30You should keep a better eye on him.
00:34:32Are you suggesting that Inspector Harris...
00:34:35No, I'm not suggesting anything.
00:34:40I've got to go.
00:34:41Catch the late edition.
00:34:46You might try tailing him.
00:34:52I might try tailing you.
00:34:59Dennis.
00:35:01This chap has just left my office.
00:35:03Yeah, that's him.
00:35:06Just get one of the boys to follow him for half an hour, see where he goes.
00:35:09Let me know.
00:35:11Okay.
00:35:23You know what?
00:35:27Save me all right.
00:35:29Come to heaven's hand.
00:35:30Go out.
00:35:32I'll never get one kid that plays a lot.
00:35:37Then the church lives into the middle of preaching.

00:47:13I'll see.
00:47:24Caves!
00:47:25Well, hello, Cliff.
00:47:27Is this how you make a living?
00:47:29Yes, sometimes.
00:47:31I realize Cliff could be of great use to us through his connections.
00:47:36He's liable to reach a breakthrough long before we do.
00:47:39Well, we'll just have to keep in contact then,
00:47:41and exchange the latest news flashes.
00:47:43I was going to ask you just that.
00:47:46Call me whenever you want, whenever you feel the need to speak to someone.
00:47:51I might do that.
00:48:10Come in.
00:48:12Take a seat.
00:48:15Sorry to bring you down here with a police escort, but we don't like to take any chances.
00:48:18You haven't caught him yet?
00:48:20No, we haven't caught him yet, but with your help we might get a bit nearer to it.
00:48:24Now, as I understand it, you were in your booth with a customer.
00:48:30He was such a nice guy.
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:32Yeah, they always are.
00:48:34And you were talking to him, and the curtains opened.
00:48:38The killer came in, committed the crime, and then just went out.
00:48:42I'm sorry.
00:48:43It was horrible.
00:48:46Now then, did you see his face?
00:48:50Yes.
00:48:50You did?
00:48:51You saw his face, so you can describe him?
00:48:53Well, no.
00:48:55You see, he was wearing a mask, and there was blood on the glass.
00:49:00It sort of covered everything up.
00:49:02I see.
00:49:04So, you're telling me that a man can stand in front of you, commit a murder, then turn around
00:49:11and walk out, and you don't remember a single thing about it?
00:49:15I do remember one thing.
00:49:17His eyes.
00:49:18They sort of smiled behind the mask.
00:49:21If I saw those eyes again, I'd recognize him.
00:49:25If he was smiling.
00:49:26Not a lot to go on, but it's something.
00:49:30Right.
00:49:31I want you to go straight home.
00:49:32In fact, we'll take you home in a police car and put a 24-hour guard on you.
00:49:35Can't I go back to work?
00:49:37Well, I think it'll be inadvisable under the circumstances.
00:49:41You must remember, he knows that you saw him, even with a mask, so...
00:49:47Yes.
00:49:47Uh, can we have a car standing by to take Miss Graham, please?
00:49:52Yes, straight to her apartment and maintain a 24-hour guard.
00:49:56If you go down to the main lobby, you'll find a Sergeant Stevens waiting for him.
00:49:59All right?
00:50:00Is that it?
00:50:01That's it.
00:50:02Thanks very much for coming in.
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:15Are you Sergeant Stevens?
00:50:16Sergeant Stevens.
00:50:17He's just popped round the corner.
00:50:18But he'll be back in a minute.
00:50:20Can I help?
00:50:20Tell him I've gone on already, can you?
00:50:22Well, if you hang on, he'll only be a second.
00:50:24That's all right.
00:50:25He was supposed to give me a lift, but I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll just go
00:50:28on ahead.
00:50:52Chief Inspector Harris's apartment.
00:50:55Could I speak to Chief Inspector Harris, please?
00:50:57Oh, I'm afraid he's not in.
00:50:58Who's calling?
00:50:59My name's Kate Brioski.
00:51:01I need to speak to him urgently.
00:51:05Do you know where I can find him?
00:51:08Well...
00:51:09Please, it's very important.
00:51:11Today's the day he visits Parklands.
00:51:14He goes there once a month, regular as clockwork.
00:51:17Parklands?
00:51:19Do you have the number there?
00:51:21Oh, I don't think you should ring him there.
00:51:23But he'll be going straight to the yard after.
00:51:25Can't it wait?
00:51:26I suppose it'll have to.
00:51:28Oh, um, please don't mention that I said about Parklands.
00:51:32I don't think he'd like anyone to know about it.
00:51:34About what?
00:51:36I've said too much already.
00:51:37Ring him at the yard this afternoon.
00:51:40Yes, all right.
00:51:53I'm back.
00:51:54Thank God for that.
00:51:55We're losing business.
00:51:56No.
00:51:56No.
00:52:12No, no.
00:52:19No, no.
00:52:23No, no.
00:52:25I'm here to give you my name.
00:52:27All right, you want to get straight to the nitty-gritty?
00:52:29That's fine by me. You know the rules.
00:52:32Rules?
00:52:34What rules?
00:52:36You want to talk? Talk.
00:52:39You want to see my tits? That's an extra five.
00:52:41For 15, I'll take everything off, and for 50, anything goes.
00:52:45What you do on your side of the glass is your business.
00:52:51Hey, what's with you?
00:52:55It's you.
00:53:29It's you.
00:53:35It's you.
00:53:46It's you.
00:53:48It's you.
00:53:49It's you.
00:53:50It's you.
00:53:55It's you.
00:54:06It's you.
00:54:15It's you.
00:54:19It's you.
00:54:23Shut up, you bitch, or I'll shut you up.
00:54:25What are you going to do to me?
00:54:27I haven't decided yet.
00:54:29Me? Why did you take me? I never hurt you.
00:54:33You went to the police.
00:54:35I didn't tell them anything?
00:54:36No, but you would have done.
00:54:38I didn't see your face. You were wearing a mask.
00:54:42Now you see, it's too late.
00:54:45You have seen my face.
00:54:49Please, please let me go.
00:54:51I'll do anything. Please, please let me go.
00:54:56You're all the same, aren't you?
00:54:59You sell little pieces of yourself.
00:55:02Five pounds for this.
00:55:06Fifteen pounds for that.
00:55:09Fifty pounds and anything goes.
00:55:12But you're not selling desire.
00:55:16You're selling your souls.
00:55:19You can't leave me here.
00:55:21I can't breathe. I'll die.
00:55:23Please, let me go. Please.
00:55:25While I'm gone,
00:55:27I want you to think of the error of your ways.
00:55:31Then you'll let me go?
00:55:32No.
00:55:34Then I kill you.
00:55:48Please, Inspector Harris.
00:55:52He's at home.
00:55:53Yes, get him for me, please.
00:55:55Hello, sir. Yes, it's, uh, it's Powell.
00:55:59Well, sir, I just thought I'd call in in case you, uh...
00:56:07You're off the case.
00:56:09I don't want you to sell it from the family.
00:56:12I see.
00:56:16There's been another killing.
00:56:18And you're holding me?
00:56:20On what charge?
00:56:22No.
00:56:22Well, I'm letting you go.
00:56:26Releasing you once and for all.
00:56:27Satisfied?
00:56:28Once and for all?
00:56:30How come?
00:56:32Because I believe I know the right man.
00:56:54What do you think you want, eh?
00:56:56There's a party going on.
00:56:59Look, there's no party here, mate.
00:57:04Come on, out, out, out, come on, it's a stage door.
00:57:07I'm looking for the party.
00:57:08Look, you come back.
00:57:09I'm the guest of honor.
00:57:10You're no guest of honor.
00:57:11Come on, out.
00:57:12You come back again and I'll call the police.
00:57:14Come on.
00:57:15Merry Christmas to him.
00:57:16Out.
00:57:16Merry Christmas.
00:57:57Miss Munro and members of the band, this is your call, please.
00:58:00Miss Munro and members of the band, this is your call, please.
00:58:27Miss Munro and members of the band, this is your call.
00:58:33Miss Munro and members of the band, this is your call, please.
00:58:38Miss Munro and members of the band, this is your call, please.
00:59:08My cue 1, go.
00:59:40I'm coming to get you.
00:59:44I'm not worried about love.
00:59:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:49I'm coming to get you.
00:59:54You don't have to fight.
00:59:56Baby, just surrender.
00:59:58I would treat you right.
01:00:00I'd be so warm and tender.
01:00:02Get you in my sight.
01:00:04You got no love protection.
01:00:07Baby, you can't hide.
01:00:08Away from my affection.
01:00:11I'm the worry of love.
01:00:14Yes, I am.
01:00:16I'm coming to get you.
01:00:18Baby, I'm the worry of love.
01:00:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:00:24I'm coming to get you.
01:00:29I can't take your feet.
01:00:31I'm burning with your fire.
01:00:34No place to retreat.
01:00:35You are my desire.
01:00:38Get you in my love.
01:00:40Reescape is out of question.
01:00:42You can't run away.
01:00:43So, look in my direction.
01:00:46I'm the worry of love.
01:00:49Yes, I am.
01:00:51I'm coming to get you.
01:00:54I'm the worry of love.
01:00:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:00:59I'm coming to get you.
01:01:01Trap door, Q7, and go.
01:01:08No!
01:01:10No!
01:01:20Hello?
01:01:22Oh, Sergeant Powell.
01:01:24Please come up.
01:01:29Miss Briozki, I came as soon as I could.
01:01:31Things are pretty hectic, as you can imagine.
01:01:34I can.
01:01:34Would you like a drink?
01:01:36No, thanks.
01:01:36I can only stay a few minutes.
01:01:37What do you have to tell me?
01:01:38Well, it's rather embarrassing.
01:01:40I feel I'm betraying confidence.
01:01:44Get to the point, Miss Briozki.
01:01:47I telephoned Harris's apartment today.
01:01:50He wasn't there.
01:01:52I spoke to the housekeeper,
01:01:53and she said something quite interesting.
01:01:54Oh, really?
01:01:55What did she say?
01:01:56She said that he was visiting Parklands.
01:01:59Parklands?
01:01:59So?
01:02:00So, it's a lunatic asylum.
01:02:03Look, I've been doing my own investigation.
01:02:05There's no record of his name at Somerset House.
01:02:09Now, if the records are to be believed,
01:02:11then he doesn't exist.
01:02:13Miss Briozki, I came here because you had something important to tell me.
01:02:16Now, to say he doesn't exist seems a bit ridiculous, sir.
01:02:19I think you've made a mistake.
01:02:20I haven't made a mistake.
01:02:22Maybe he's changed his name.
01:02:25You're up at Gumtree, so what if he changed his name?
01:02:28Look, I think there's something weird going on.
01:02:30Harris keeps inferring that Cliff had something to do with it,
01:02:33but Cliff was standing right by me when my father was killed.
01:02:36Miss Briozki, I'm afraid I have to go.
01:02:39Look, I know I'm on the right track.
01:02:41Well, if you find anything, let me know.
01:02:43We'll get there in the end,
01:02:45but I'm afraid the register of births and deaths is not the way.
01:02:59Dr. Bridal, we'll see you now, Miss.
01:03:35The heavenly brave you there shall find
01:03:40To you and your...
01:03:55Garland Yard.
01:03:57Oh, hello. Could I speak to Sergeant Powell, please?
01:03:59It's urgent.
01:04:00Sergeant Powell's out till nine o'clock,
01:04:02but I'll put you through to the duty, Sergeant.
01:04:05You can talk to him.
01:04:06No, it's all right.
01:04:07Just tell Sergeant Powell it's Kate Brioski speaking,
01:04:11and can he ring me as soon as he gets in?
01:04:43Here you are, little boy. Here's a train for you.
01:04:59Come on.
01:05:03Come on.
01:05:05Come on.
01:05:14Let's go.
01:05:37Ah!
01:05:38Ah!
01:05:41Ah!
01:05:44Where do we go again?
01:05:47There's filth everywhere!
01:06:11Yes, where is it?
01:06:13Hi, it's me. Kate.
01:06:15Come on in. You're on the right floor.
01:06:32Hello. What's the problem?
01:06:34I wanted to see you.
01:06:35Your car did offer a 24-hour service.
01:06:40I'm sorry, maybe you've got someone here.
01:06:43No, no, there's no one. Let me take your coat.
01:06:49Come on through here.
01:06:50As a matter of fact, it's a pleasure to see a fresh face.
01:06:55And a very pretty one. Let me get you a drink.
01:07:03Oh, Philip.
01:07:05I was lucky to find you in. It must be quite a busy time.
01:07:13Oh, not particularly. At any rate for me, I've been fired. You want this straight?
01:07:18Yes.
01:07:20Fire.
01:07:21Well, suspended officially.
01:07:24Really.
01:07:26Cheers.
01:07:31Well, I've had a row with Cliff.
01:07:32I see.
01:07:34Cliff hasn't been himself recently.
01:07:36Ever since you practically accused him of being involved with those killings.
01:07:40He's almost started acting as if he were.
01:07:42In what way?
01:07:43He's become obsessed.
01:07:45Well, I'm no longer on this case officially.
01:07:49Well, in a way, that doesn't change anything for me.
01:07:52You're the person I feel closest to at the moment.
01:07:56I bet you haven't had dinner yet.
01:07:59No, as a matter of fact, I haven't.
01:08:02It'll be my pleasure.
01:08:07And, well, it's Christmas Eve.
01:08:10Turkey.
01:08:11Good. With all the trimmings, Luigi.
01:08:25Twice I've told you my name.
01:08:27And you haven't told me yours.
01:08:29Ian Harris.
01:08:31Ian.
01:08:32Yes, it's not very interesting or romantic, I'm afraid.
01:08:36And I'm not even Scottish.
01:08:39I'm looking for the restaurant.
01:08:41You're not dressed for the restaurant, sir.
01:08:42Yes, I know that.
01:08:46Don't believe it.
01:08:49He's followed us here.
01:08:50I was just looking for someone.
01:08:53Very good, sir.
01:08:53But you're not dressed for it.
01:09:07This came in earlier.
01:09:08I think it's important.
01:09:21I think it's my name.
01:09:22How did you get in here?
01:09:23The porter showed me up.
01:09:25It was cold in the alleyway.
01:09:28What do you want?
01:09:30You can't just go barging into people's apartments, unadvited.
01:09:34I can.
01:09:36I'm welcome everywhere.
01:09:41I'm a member of society.
01:09:44A very important one, they said.
01:09:47Look up Briozki in there for me, Des.
01:09:50What are you doing?
01:09:53I had dinner with Inspector Harris. He's expecting a call from me.
01:09:59Will you tell him that I'm here?
01:10:00No!
01:10:04Yes.
01:10:06Then he'll come and take me away, won't he?
01:10:12Answer me.
01:10:14I expect so.
01:10:17It's not very hospitable, is it?
01:10:21I saw Dr. Bridle today.
01:10:24We talked about you.
01:10:27How?
01:10:29Harris is your brother.
01:10:33Did he tell you that?
01:10:36No, I worked it out myself.
01:10:40You're very clever.
01:10:43What else did you work out?
01:10:47Harris's real name is Harrison.
01:10:50He changed it when...
01:10:51He changed it when they put me into the loony bin.
01:10:55He was very ashamed of his little brother.
01:10:58But he visited you every month.
01:11:00Under sufferance.
01:11:02I told him I'd write to the papers if he didn't.
01:11:05He used to tell me about his police work.
01:11:09So I thought I'd give him a real case to work on.
01:11:11He killed my father.
01:11:14Yes.
01:11:16It was...
01:11:18It was...
01:11:19...unfortunate, but...
01:11:21You see...
01:11:24...he reminded me...
01:11:26...of Christmas time.
01:11:29Got it.
01:11:32439-2369.
01:11:50Come on.
01:11:51You should answer.
01:11:52No.
01:11:54Come on, answer your...
01:11:57It might be important.
01:12:00It won't be your brother.
01:12:01No.
01:12:03Ah!
01:12:05Hello?
01:12:06Ah!
01:12:12Ms. Brasky?
01:12:19Put the phone down.
01:12:20Oh, somebody's put the phone down.
01:12:21Come on.
01:12:22We better go.
01:12:22I think she's in trouble.
01:12:36Search the place, Des, quick.
01:12:38Okay.
01:12:38Quick!
01:13:00Hello, yes.
01:13:01This is Sergeant Powell.
01:13:02Can you, uh, patch me through the...
01:13:03...to the special squad, please?
01:13:10Yes, hello.
01:13:12Yes, Powell.
01:13:13I thought I told you to watch Harris night and day.
01:13:18You did?
01:13:21What?
01:13:21He's been in a...
01:13:22I thought I told you to watch Harris night and day.
01:13:22He's been in his apartment all night.
01:13:25You sure?
01:13:29Oh, God.
01:13:32Okay.
01:13:33Okay.
01:13:57Sir, I think our man's been spotted in the old tide ever.
01:14:00Come on, let's go.
01:14:36Oh, he said yes.
01:14:37How does he say he can turn?
01:14:37Oh, my God.
01:14:42Don't say he can turn the fire so you can turn to me.
01:14:42I think that he's going to fight.
01:14:42Oh, my God.
01:14:43Oh, my God.
01:14:46Oh, my God!
01:14:54Let's go.
01:15:28Let's go.
01:16:01Let's go.
01:16:22Let's go.
01:16:23Let's go.
01:16:53I won't.
01:16:54I promise.
01:17:00What about you?
01:17:01Aren't you going to eat something?
01:17:03No.
01:17:05I've already eaten.
01:17:07It's Christmas dinner, I expect.
01:17:09Christmas?
01:17:10How do you mean?
01:17:12You know, it's Christmas Day.
01:17:14Goodwill towards men and all that.
01:17:17I hate Christmas.
01:17:20I hate Christmas.
01:17:21I hate everything it stands for.
01:17:22It's a shame.
01:17:24What would you know of it?
01:17:26Don't you remember when you were a little boy, listening to carol singers, sitting by the Christmas tree, waiting to
01:17:36open all those presents?
01:17:37Stop it.
01:17:38Tinsel, colored fairy lights, plum pudding, snow falling.
01:17:47I said stop it!
01:17:48And then the arrival of Santa Claus.
01:17:51And then the arrival of Santa Claus.
01:17:56The key.
01:17:57Where's the key?
01:18:05That's what you're looking for?
01:18:09You, Gracie.
01:18:11I gave you a few more hours to live, and this is how you repay me.
01:18:16What do you mean, a few hours more?
01:18:20Like you said, it's Christmas Day.
01:18:23The day you die.
01:18:25The supreme sacrifice to all the evil that Christmas is.
01:18:44The past as ever, the—
01:18:53Ooh.
01:18:54–
01:18:59Ooh, ooh.
01:19:02Ah.
01:19:03Ah.
01:19:05Ah.
01:19:06Ah.
01:19:18Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:19:25Oh, oh, no, no, no.
01:19:49Oh, no, no.
01:19:53Oh, no, no, no.
01:19:56No!
01:20:34Oh, my God.
01:20:57Oh, my God.
01:21:29Come on, Giles.
01:21:31Time to go to the Christmas tree.
01:21:35Now then, Giles.
01:21:37Let's see what Santa's got for you.
01:21:50But what about Ian?
01:21:52There are presents for Ian, too.
01:22:06My, what a nice knife.
01:22:10A knife for a grown-up boy.
01:22:13Oh, isn't that nice, Daryl?
01:22:16Oh, what a clever boy you are, Giles.
01:22:20Mama's boy.
01:22:23Mama's clever boy.
01:22:27Oh, he's such a pretty boy.
01:22:31Needs lots of sleep.
01:22:34Make him grow up to be big and strong.
01:22:39So, off you go now to beddy-by's.
01:22:45Night-night, darling.
01:22:50Gerald?
01:22:52Where are you?
01:22:54Get out.
01:22:58Gerald?
01:23:02Gerald?
01:23:04Gerald?
01:23:09Gerald?
01:23:11Gerald?
01:23:13Gerald?
01:23:37Oh, my God.
