03:26well
03:27last week I thought we were dealing with some kind of insane one-off
03:33now we've got two of a kind
03:35which brings me to my next guest
03:37who must be one of the most beautiful
03:39no definitely the most beautiful lady writer
03:42we've ever had on the breakfast show
03:43Natalie Bell
03:44but her story
03:45or at least the book she's having published through
03:48could be wonderful for your breakfast
03:49so be warned
03:50it's an amazing story
03:52it's difficult to believe
03:53but it really does have a basis in fact
03:55so tell me Natalie
03:56oh yeah
03:57she was really nice
03:59I found out quite a lot about her
04:01and her family
04:01I even traced one of its surviving members
04:04extraordinary
04:05how on earth did you manage to do that?
04:09I know exactly what you mean
04:10and I'm sure you're going to send a lot of our listeners out
04:12looking round their local old bookshop
04:14to see what they can find
04:15gruesome story
04:16the crazy countess
04:17who cut out her lover's hearts with a dagger
04:20no such ripping yarns from my next guest
04:22but before that
04:23to change the mood
04:24a record for Peter Rawley
04:26of Hounslow Middlesex
04:45hello
04:46could you put me through to the production office please
04:50on the breakfast show
04:53Detective Inspector Clifford
04:58thank you
05:01we're not releasing any details about the killings
05:04what I've told you is just between the two of us
05:06but as you can see
05:07they're both exactly the same
05:08as you describe in your book about the countess
05:10well I wouldn't say exactly the same
05:13and the countess lived 300 years ago
05:15remember?
05:16yeah
05:17you said you'd trace one of her descendants
05:18and you decided it runs in the family
05:21I haven't decided anything
05:24so
05:25what do you want me to do?
05:27introduce you to Mrs Hansker?
05:28that's right
05:29well it'll be easier on her
05:31if there's someone there she knows
05:33I'll call her later this afternoon
05:35she usually sleeps after lunch
05:37then we'll see
05:52let me give you some advice
05:53when you talk to Mrs Hansker
05:55I won't be doing any talking
05:57I'll be listening
06:02no
06:04to tell you the truth
06:05I have become obsessed
06:08with this ancestor of mine
06:11why?
06:12God knows
06:13I cannot imagine a more monstrous woman
06:17she seems to have been
06:20a perfectly ordinary run-of-the-mill countess
06:24until her husband went away to the Hundred Years' War
06:27his head Falconer
06:29gave to her a baby eagle
06:32and I have to say
06:34this is not all he gave her
06:36so
06:37when the count returned
06:39the Falconer not being a courageous man
06:42fled to escape his vengeance
06:44but for the countess
06:45there was no such escape
06:47the count punished her infidelity
06:49with much cruelty
06:51he had her dragged on a cart
06:54through the whole valley
06:55and displayed in all the villages
06:58where the head man gave to her
07:00a ritual blow
07:02and then at night
07:04by the light of torches
07:06in front of the assembled people
07:08she was branded with iron
07:11as an adulteress
07:13but the count had not lost his desire for her
07:18in fact
07:19the inflicting of this cruel humiliation
07:24seems to have quickened it
07:26he locked her up in a tower
07:28but he could not keep away from her
07:31every night he visited her
07:32she submitted to him silently
07:35and waited
07:37and then
07:39one night
07:40she opened wide
07:42the shutters on the window of the tower
07:44the moonlight flooded in
07:47on the sleeping count
07:48and then suddenly
07:50a shadow falls across him
07:53a vast shadow
07:55and into the room
07:57swoops the countess's eagle
07:59he is fully grown now
08:01for a second
08:02he hovers over the sleeping man
08:05and then
08:05there is a fierce rushing sound
08:09as down swoops the vicious beak
08:11for a second
08:12a split second
08:13the count wakes
08:15before he dies
08:17his heart
08:18ripped out
08:20by the eagle
08:23so
08:24the countess now
08:26rules the whole valley
08:27she goes out
08:29into all the villages
08:30and she selects young men
08:32to be her lovers
08:34yes
08:34she takes them back to the tower
08:37but before his night is over
08:39each one of them dies
08:41his heart
08:42ripped out
08:43it was not until her death
08:45that they discovered
08:46all the bodies
08:47there were
08:48one hundred and seven of them
08:52would you like more tea
08:54uh
08:55no
08:56no
08:56no thank you
08:58well
08:59it's an incredible story
09:02is it very well known
09:03no
09:04as a matter of fact
09:05it is not
09:06naturally it had some currency
09:07in our part of the country
09:10but gradually it dropped out of sight
09:12until the 1830s
09:14when people liked that sort of horror story
09:17and then it was published
09:18in a book of Carpathian folktales
09:20and then translated into German
09:22and English
09:23and so on
09:23which is how I came across it
09:26um
09:27Mrs Hansker
09:29how many in your family now
09:32in the family
09:33hmm
09:34oh
09:37I am the family
09:39I am the Countess's last descendant
09:42well that is why I was so pleased
09:44when Natalie came to see me
09:46our family may die out
09:48but our grisly story will continue
09:51hmm
09:53and there's no possibility that there's
09:56a cousin
09:57a grandson
10:00no
10:02no I have no grandson
10:05I see
10:05well
10:07it's been a tremendous experience
10:10listening to you
10:11but
10:12I don't want to tire you
10:13that is very considerate of you
10:20I would like to call again sometime
10:22if I may
10:23yes
10:23yes
10:25speak to Natalie
10:26she will arrange
10:28I'll telephone you
10:30thank you
10:43what are you going to do now
10:44I'll drive you home
10:45I met
10:47oh
10:49well
10:54I'd like the name and address of your publisher
10:55and the typing agency you use
10:57and anyone you know of
10:59who might have seen the manuscript
10:59you don't really think
11:01it could have put the idea
11:02in someone's head
11:04according to Mrs Hansker
11:05the last time the story was current
11:06was the 1830s
11:08your book hasn't been published yet
11:10so it's a possibility
11:11however remote
11:13it's an alarming thought
11:14something I've written
11:16may have led to someone's death
11:17well
11:18as I said
11:18it's a
11:19a remote
11:20possibility
11:22there's one out to check
11:25daddy
11:33they're gone
11:35I'm not
11:42why do you cover it
11:58it's so beautiful
12:01sometimes I prefer not to see it
12:06Tadek
12:07are you going out
12:10because I
12:13have some work to do
12:34my name's Andy
12:36what's yours
12:37I'm not interested in
12:39names
12:41what a beautiful voice
12:44you know
12:45you should be doing commercials
12:47for caviar
12:49oh yes
12:51I can never resist the challenge
12:54of dark glasses
12:55would you like me to take them off
12:59oh
13:00there's no answer to that
13:03there
13:03I just bet myself a bottle of
13:05Mouton Cadet
13:06I could make you laugh
13:07now I've won
13:08and you've got to share it with me
13:13you want references
13:16don't look now
13:17but check the glamorous lady
13:20behind the bar
13:23she's the owner's wife
13:24ask her about Randy Andy
13:29and that's you
13:30Andy's the name
13:32Randy's the game
13:39look
13:40I have to be careful
13:42oh okay
13:44tell you what we do
13:46I'll go and wait in the car
13:48you leave it for 10 minutes
13:49and then come and join me
13:51it's parked in the news
13:53a red Porsche
13:56and what then
13:58time of your life sweetheart
14:18I see a tantalizing glimpse
14:21of things to come
14:23stay where you are
14:25I'm on my way
14:27anything you say
14:30close your eyes
14:33Randy Andy
14:38keep them close now
14:48keep your eyes close
14:52till I say
15:03and you actually saw the lady leave
15:05and she left with the gentleman
15:07you never seen her near before
15:08no I've never
15:09oh this is detect
15:10inspector Clifford
15:11this is Van Lillie
15:13she was behind
15:21and the killing
15:22could have been done
15:23by three different women
15:25the descriptions
15:26were never the same
15:29I don't think it's possible
15:30all right
15:31they look different
15:31but that only means
15:33change of clothes
15:34a wig
15:35then it could have been a man
15:37yeah
15:37yes it could
15:39but it's why
15:40that interests me
15:41I mean what drives anyone
15:42to this particular
15:43kind of killing
15:45wouldn't you say
15:46there was some kind of
15:47ritual element
15:48the fact that they all
15:49seem to be identical
15:51yeah
15:52but where does the ritual
15:53come from
15:54somewhere deep down
15:55in the unconscious mind
15:58what I know
15:58about the unconscious mind
15:59you could write on a cigarette paper
16:01then you'd better come
16:02and see my psychiatrist
16:03with me
16:04it's not for treatment
16:05he's an old friend
16:06he calls in on me now and then
16:09and you
16:11help him with his problems
16:14he helps me with my research
16:16maybe he can help with yours
16:19just as the personal unconscious
16:21contains buried images
16:22and memories
16:23of the early stages of our lives
16:24so the collective part
16:26of the unconscious mind
16:27is a great store of material
16:28from the early stages
16:29in the life of mankind
16:31and this is common to all of us
16:33that's why you or I
16:34can dream the same dream
16:35as the Australian Aborigine
16:37we all have buried images
16:38of man as the amiable fruit gatherer
16:41as well as the predatory hunter
16:44the dark side
16:46the wolf within us
16:48like an iceberg
16:49the unconscious mind
16:50is the nine tenths
16:52below the surface
16:52I don't like that analogy
16:57it suggests that the unconscious
16:59is some dark destructive force
17:02lurking below the surface
17:03and waiting to sink the unsuspecting Titanic
17:06of our aspirations
17:07but isn't that what we're dealing with
17:10a submerged destructive force
17:11are you trying to say
17:13are you trying to say that
17:13Mrs. Hansker's some kind of
17:15Lady Dracula
17:16who survived by devouring
17:18the hearts of young men
17:21could it be possible
17:22for some traumatic event
17:25that happened a long time ago
17:26to re-emerge generations later
17:29hmm
17:29you mean buried in the unconscious
17:31as if in the family vault
17:33and then suddenly under the right conditions
17:34reproduced
17:36I don't think so
17:38I think you should examine
17:40parallel case histories
17:41thinking in terms of the multiple personality
17:43like the Boston Strangler
17:45yes
17:45someone who to all intents and purposes
17:47leads a thoroughly unremarkable life
17:49and yet who at given times
17:51becomes a totally different person
17:53with characteristics
17:55wholly unlike his or her
17:57other self
17:58in this case
18:00murderous characteristics
18:02and of course
18:03each of these personalities
18:04knows nothing of the other
18:05there's no will involved here
18:07but as you said
18:09the wolf takes over
18:12if you insist on the romantic imagery
18:14the wolf takes over
18:17or in this case
18:18the eagle
18:21possibly
18:22it would be useful to know more
18:23about the family background
18:24my research notes on the family
18:26are pretty extensive
18:27would you like to read them
18:28yes
18:29yes I would
18:31but I ought to be
18:32getting back
18:33could I possibly borrow
18:34they're with my type
18:36it's just now
18:38well thank you for talking to me doctor
18:41thanks Natalie
18:44help yourself to a drink
18:45oh thanks I will
18:46Clip
18:47can you get some time off tomorrow
18:50tomorrow evening
18:51around about 6.30
18:52I'll be getting my notes back
18:53during the day
18:54oh well
18:56maybe we could meet for a drink
18:57and then have some dinner
18:59all right
19:00at the pub with the gun
19:02about 7 o'clock
19:04see you sir
19:11is he still there
19:13he left about 25 minutes ago
19:14didn't stay long
19:16right I've got the embassy
19:17checking for me
19:18when I find out what they've got
19:19I'll be in touch
19:21Roger Dodge
19:41I've got what I need from the embassy
19:42I'll be with you in half an hour
19:45Roger Dodge
19:45I'll still be here
19:51she'll be here
19:56good
19:57bye
20:02thank you
20:03jeëton
20:03it's
20:11you got to go out aqui
20:12better than that
20:19I had a bit of difficulty getting that one but he didn't see me. Do you know who he is?
20:24Fair idea. Is that tea?
20:27No, it's coffee.
20:28That'll do.
20:30Somehow I get the feeling Mrs Hansky's not going to offer me a cup of tea today.
20:35Not an eagle in sight.
20:39I haven't found the right one yet.
20:48Now, you want to hear more stories of my family?
20:53Yes, as a matter of fact.
20:55I will tell you the story of how I escaped from the Russians with the help of an English captain.
21:02I found myself in a displaced persons camp in India.
21:06I'd like you to tell me about your nephew.
21:09What nephew? I have no nephew, I told you.
21:12I am the last of the Countess's family.
21:15Except for Tadek.
21:18Oh, no. Which Tadek? Who is Tadek?
21:21Tadek Kuczynski.
21:23No. No, I won't listen to you.
21:26He was with the Radzinski Theatre Company in Warsaw. They were having a successful tour of East Germany.
21:31He managed to escape to the West. He turned up in this country last year.
21:35You must go away.
21:36Mrs. Hanska, there's no point in denying it. It's not going to help either one of you.
21:41Don't you think he suffered enough?
21:44Persecuted by that atheistic regime of Marxist bullies.
21:48He cannot help being what he is. Yes, he escaped, but he is still surrounded by unthinking people who do
21:55not understand what he is doing.
21:58That is why I have not disclosed his presence. There has been enough of persecution. Tadek is an artist. As
22:08such, he must be free to express himself.
22:10And how exactly does he do that?
22:14How I wish it was the same, will you? Things won't get much better, I suppose.
22:28Shouldn't really feel this way, but that's how it goes. For unlucky me.
22:37But that's the way it's got to be. So tell me, what can I do? Guess I've got a thing
22:54about you.
23:10This is Arne Kutinsky. Yes. I'd like to ask you a few questions.
23:19Now listen! All I want to do is have a chat.
23:29You should have said you were police. You might have lost your temper.
23:35I'm sorry. I thought you were a spy or journalist.
23:44I'm glad I'm not. I suppose you're from the immigration. How did you find me?
23:53Auntie. My aunt would not give me away.
23:57I promised her I wasn't trying to get you deported.
24:01No? No. It's more serious than that. I'm investigating a murder. Three murders in fact.
24:09And I simply want to know where you were when they happened.
24:12Yes, sir. I am suspect.
24:15Now don't get excited. It's only routine.
24:17All right! I did it!
24:18Come on, Tiny. Don't be temperamental.
24:20I'm not temperamental. What I am is sick of being hunted and pursued and persecuted.
24:26I understand. Things haven't been easy for you.
24:31Auntie told me about your problems and I said I'd try and help, you know.
24:34Straighten things out with the immigration people.
24:37You did?
24:38Why not? I'm not in the business of making life difficult.
24:43People with talent need encouraging. You were very good out there.
24:51I'm not much used to kindness from officials.
24:55But you do have to help.
24:57Of course.
25:00I was working most nights these last few weeks.
25:04I have a very full date book.
25:07And when I'm not working, I'm staying with my aunt.
25:11She will, how do you say, prove this.
25:16Yeah, well, we're gonna have to do better than that, aren't we?
25:21Maybe the best thing would be for you to come to my office tomorrow morning near the police station, Nils
25:25Road.
25:26It would give you time to remember exactly what you were doing over the last three weeks, whether you were
25:31out of town, working or whatever.
25:33Okay?
25:34And I'm gonna need some kind of corroboration.
25:36Names of people who saw you, contracts, that sort of thing.
25:40Do you think you can handle that?
25:41Yes.
25:43That's all right.
25:43And remember, no one is leaning on you.
25:47And I will make sure that they don't, just as long as you show up tomorrow morning.
25:53I'll be there.
25:55Good boy.
25:59How'd you get on?
26:01Bit of aggravation.
26:02Oh, with Queenie?
26:03You're still thinking in cliches, old son.
26:05Tadik's a hard lad.
26:06He's also very nervous.
26:07But is he the eagle woman?
26:09Or do you still believe auntie does a transformation number?
26:12I don't know.
26:13Who's watching the house?
26:14DC Wilson.
26:15All right, I'll take over.
26:16Now make sure Tadik doesn't know he's being followed.
26:18He's very excitable and is liable to, er...
26:20Let fly with his hand back.
26:21You just stop being funny, Sergeant.
26:23Now stay out of sight.
26:24You've got trouble.
26:57I see you.
26:59But it doesn't matter.
27:18Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
27:30Excuse me, madam.
27:33I'm trying to find the Heathcliff gallery.
27:35You've passed it.
27:36If you make a U-turn here, you'll see it on your left.
27:39About a hundred metres, Zach.
27:41That's awfully kind of you, but I must be honest,
27:43the Heathcliff gallery was a pretext.
27:44I simply had to speak to it.
27:47Oh, really?
27:48Yes, truly.
27:51I know it's a very sexist thing to do
27:52to intrude on a lady's privacy
27:54just because she happens to be beautiful.
27:55What can I say to commend myself to you?
27:58I'm terribly rich, and I live five minutes away.
28:01What is this? A proposal?
28:04Proposition is the word, I think.
28:06Look, why don't you just drop round for a cup of tea?
28:09There's an old living next door.
28:10It's a tremendously respectable neighbourhood.
28:13Now, don't let me down.
28:14The moment I clapped eyes on you, I said to myself,
28:15I must have that girl whatever it costs.
28:18I'm busy.
28:20You won't get a better offer this afternoon, my love.
28:24You're probably right.
28:27You don't live here, then?
28:30Not exactly, no.
28:31I'm borrowing it from friends.
28:33Jolly pretty, though, isn't it?
28:37I've given the indoor servants the evening off,
28:39and the chauffeur's having tea with his mother-in-law,
28:41so we shan't be disturbed.
28:45Are you getting ready?
28:47Come and get me.
28:55I want you to lie down and close your eyes.
29:00Are you going to be strict with me?
29:02I'm going to surprise you.
29:05Close your eyes.
29:08Now, are you ready for this?
29:13Yes.
29:24Please, don't touch me.
29:26I'll give you anything you want.
29:31Take the money.
29:32Take anything you want.
29:36Take anything you want.
29:42Oh, my God.
29:44Take anything you want.
30:19I don't know.
30:22Everything in Teddick's statement checks, except the time he was with Mrs. Hansker.
30:26There's no way we'd never find out if he's really there or not.
30:29Only one of the killings happened when he said he was with auntie.
30:32And she never left the house.
30:34Don't you think your theory's looking a bit shaky?
30:36What theory?
30:37I'll call in later to let you know where I'll be. You're on till ten, aren't you?
30:40Yeah.
30:41He doesn't leave us with anything, though, does he?
30:45Don't you think it's time we went public? Release the details.
30:47No.
30:48You couldn't play this down. It'd be big news.
30:50Yes. Next time you pick up a beautiful girl, don't take her to your place.
30:53Bring her here.
30:54Let's keep her to ourselves for as long as we can, eh?
30:59I'd better call the police, sir.
31:02I don't think I'd bother with that, Rowley.
31:04After all, she didn't actually take anything.
31:08They'd only ask a lot of boring questions.
31:10Besides, I don't want to run the risk of upsetting my wife if she got here, right?
31:15Still, it's pretty serious, sir.
31:17I mean, she must be a loony.
31:18Yes, well, then.
31:20We don't want the Thompsons to know I've been entertaining loonies in their absence, do we?
31:31Let's go!
31:34We don't!
31:34We don't care!
31:36We don't get out!
31:36We don't!
31:36Ow! Ow!
32:15Listen now, I live over there. Fancy coming over for some coffee?
32:23Why not?
32:26That's what it's all about, isn't it? I mean, I fancy you, you fancy me. Why mess about?
32:37Come on. I'll carry you back.
32:51Hang on. I've got to be careful about my landlady. She's got a bit of a thing about visitors. Come
32:58on.
33:04Come on.
33:05Come on.
33:10Come on.
33:10Come on.
33:12Come on.
33:14Come on.
33:22Come on.
33:24Come on.
33:28Come on.
33:31Come on.
33:55Come on.
33:56I'll go home the rest of the evening if you need me, okay?
33:58Hold on.
33:59Into Lemington Avenue, right away, north side the park. It's another one.
34:02On my way.
34:07Come on.
34:16Come on.
34:18Come on.
34:18Come on.
34:41Cliff.
34:42Cliff.
34:42Hello.
34:44I'm sorry about last night.
34:47You'll come in, won't you?
34:56I got completely involved in what I was doing yesterday.
34:59What was happening?
35:00Research for the new book.
35:02Well, it wasn't even research, really.
35:03Just thinking about the story and how I'm going to tackle it.
35:06It's always like that, I'm afraid.
35:09Once I get an idea for a story, it seems to take over my whole life.
35:14Well, I was, uh...
35:18I was a bit surprised when he didn't turn up, but then...
35:22I thought maybe you'd said yes just to be polite.
35:24I wouldn't do that.
35:26I'm very clear about yes and no.
35:29That's good.
35:32Now you're here.
35:33Stay for dinner?
35:35Uh, well, I've come straight from work.
35:37Oh, Cliff, you don't have to get change, for goodness sake.
35:39There's the bathroom.
35:40Help yourself.
35:41Then you can start reading my notes on the Countess's family.
35:48That's an offer I can't refuse.
36:10Do you want some help?
36:11No, you carry on.
36:12I'm just going out to get something to drink.
36:14I'll get it.
36:15No, it won't take a minute.
36:16The shop's only in the high street.
36:18Well, tell me what you want.
36:20Go on.
36:21Risk it.
36:22If I get lost, I'll ask a policeman.
36:25Some white wine?
36:27Some white wine.
36:48That's where I'll be.
36:49Roger, don't you?
36:52Is Morgan with you?
36:54Yeah.
36:55I've done everything you said.
36:56Anything else?
36:59No, that'll do it.
37:17Are you ready, darling?
37:24Close your eyes.
37:34Stand still, Natalie.
37:36Just stand still.
37:37Go on, Morgan, sir.
37:43I'm sorry.
37:45But this is the only way.
38:00We know enough now about the clinics who have figured out the way she works, and when you didn't turn
38:04up yesterday and that fellow was killed, well, you had to be the number one suspect.
38:09I'm sorry.
38:33King.
38:36would you like me to make some tea
38:38yeah I think that's a good
38:44well

40:49I didn't want it to be like that
40:51I didn't want to run the risk of spoiling our relationship
40:55but sometimes I have to take risks
40:58all right you took the risk

45:16I thought perhaps
45:17maybe he would have
45:18tried to phone you
45:19put things right
45:21perhaps he meant to
45:23I don't know
45:25now the story's out

45:27phoning in
45:28saying they're the evil one
45:30how did Cliff find her I wonder
45:32he didn't tell you
45:33no
45:35kept it to himself
45:36he went off on his own
45:39first time he'd ever done that
45:45well
45:45can't choose the lads
46:08it was some journalist scum
46:13he got hold of a photograph of her
46:14and sold it to the television
46:19thanks
46:25she saw her face on the screen
46:27when the story came out
46:30she got an
46:31obsession
46:33an obsession that she's some kind of
46:37reincarnation of the countess
46:40so now she's terrified of sleep
46:43because she thinks she walks in her sleep
46:45but kills
46:48that's why I had to stay with her
46:50you're looking after her now
46:53what else can I do

48:30an interesting subject
48:31well
48:31she wasn't a sister
48:33just one of the nurses
48:35did you ever see her
48:37no
48:37she was before my time
48:38that would have been
48:4019
48:4120 something

48:52flaunt her body
48:53kind of thing
48:53when she was up close
48:54to them rich old boys
48:56I wonder some of them
48:58didn't have a heart attack
48:59there and then
48:59of course they'd ask her
49:02to come to their room
49:03but she always said no
49:05wait until you leave
49:06she said
49:07and then you can take me
49:08to a flat
49:09well
49:10these rich old boys
49:11was the kind
49:11who'd set up
49:12a nice looking girl

49:14so that was no trouble
49:16she got the meat

49:19buying her fur coats
49:20and cars
49:21and diamonds
