[Man Whistles]

Come on, Bessy! Come on.

[Siren Wailing]
Come on.

Gotta sniff everything in sight, ?

Well, I can't blame ya, cooped up all day.

Yeah. It feels good to get out, don't it?
[Chuckles]

Yeah. Eight hours behind a counter's no fun either.

[Yawns]

[Siren Wailing In Distance]
Here. Wanna get some exercise?

[Groans]
My bones.

See this? Fetch it!

Go on.
[Panting]

Take it. Take it.

Attagirl. Attagirl. Bring it Come on.

Come on. Good girl. Good girl, Bessy.

That's my girl. You ready? Go fetch it again!

Go on!

[Barking]
Look for it.

[Chuckles]

You find it? ?

Take it.

Attagirl. Good girl.

Now bring it here. Come on.

[Chuckles]
Ah, I'm so proud of you.

That's it That's it. You're such a good girl.

Lieutenant.

Here's your photo of the Brooklyn Bridge girl.

Pete, give me that file, will ya?

[Chattering]

Now glance casually over at the desk there.

Don't fall in love all at once.

That's the girl's landlady-

Mrs. Weissberger.

[Sighs]

Mrs. Weissberger, I'm Lieutenant Williams.

This the girl? Oh, yes, Lieutenant.
That's her, all right.

[Wolf Whistle]

Well, she doesn't look a bit like a-

What I mean to say is that in real life
she was much prettier a real doll.

Poor thing. She was murdered, wasn't she?

I'll ask the questions, if you don't mind,
Mrs. Weissberger.

when did you last see this girl, um, Ann Linn?
That was her name, right?

No. That's her working name
-her "nomay" de "plumee" or whatever.

Good gracious. If I was as beautiful as she was,
I wouldn't mind people knowing my real name.

She was a model, you know.
Exotic poses and so on. Urn-

She had it all. She was destined for the big time.

Well, I won't bend your ear any more, Lieutenant,

but the last time I saw her was, urn, last Friday.

That was, urn, exactly six days ago.

Got an aspirin?
[Man]
Second drawer down.

She had left her apartment at 7:00. I remember
that because I had just turned on Dallas.

You know, that TV series about that
family that has money...

coming out of its ears.

Well, it was just 7:00,

and she got this telephone call from this, urn, person.

Strangest voice I ever heard. Sort of like a duck.

- Like a duck?- Quack, quack, quack. Just like that.

Not that he said "quack, quack, quack,
but that was the tone.

And he made an appointment to meet her.

Yeah, ?

How come you heard the phone call?

Well, um ,my phone's on the blink,

and sometimes it rings together with Ann's.

So
[answer, of course, and happen to listen in.

Not that I pry. God forbid.

[Chuckles]
God forbid.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Weissberger.

You've really been a great help,
and I appreciate it no end.

Now, if we need you again, we'll call, okay?

She was murdered, wasn't she?

Eleven people a day are murdered here
in Fun City, and over half of them are women.

Good-bye.

Good-bye, Mrs. Weissberger.

Goddamn it! Why can't you watch
where you're going ?

I'm sorry. I was thinking of Boston.
The bar only streaked it. It'll rub off in a second.

You women should stay home where you belong.

You're a menace to the public.

And you've got the brains of a chicken.

And you're an asshole. Ciao.

[Ship Horn Blows]

[Man]
If they don't have a weight specifications slip,
they don't board. Period.

[Man #2]
They say they've always been allowed on without it.

Well, then they can wait for a ferry-Morning.

about regulations. I do.

[Humming]

[Humming]

Barry.

Barry. What?

So, what's the good news?

He used a blade.

He stuck it up her joy trail and slit her wide open.

He could've done a slightly better job...

if he'd had more time.

But overall, it was, , good, efficient butchery.

[Coughs]
Sex?- Strange. No trace.

[Humming]

Any ideas?
[Humming]

I've seen hundreds of girls...

in very bad shape, you know.

But this young lady Woman On PA.
[Dr. Barry Jones to hematology, please.

What's so special about her? You remember that-

that girl that they found five or six weeks ago?

That model? Ann Linn?

Same exact style.

I'd bet my dentures she was-

she was done in by the same guy.

A lefty...

with a yen for slashing up young ladies.

Another.

Anyway, maybe I have something
that might interest you.

Ah? I found traces of another blood
group mixed with hers.

Probably our murderer's.

[Chattering]
Sam.

Samuel, may I have the file with the-All right.
What the hell's the matter now?

[Phone Ringing]

[Clattering]

- Hmm.- Well, well, well.

If it isn't the big chief person himself.

Hello, Fred. Listen, Fred. I want a word
with you, and it's kind of hush-hush.

, is there, , someplace we could talk
without being disturbed?

Sure. How about the church across the street?

[Sighs]

Fred. Fred. Have you flipped out,
or are you trying to give me an ulcer?

A smart-ass coroner comes out,
what with a little verbal diarrhea,

and you immediately go around declaring
there's a maniac loose in the city.

Yeah? So, what would you rather I say?
A Boy Scout's been starting to whittle
on little girls with his knife?

For Christ's sake, don't get me wrong.
I don't want to cramp your style.

But could you use a little discretion
when you say things?

Papers follow up on this,
it might start a panic, you know.

You don't wanna create another Atlanta, do ya?

Try and see it my way, Fred.

Yeah. All right, all right.

Hmm. Well, let's hope this was just an isolated case.

Tell me, , why did you exclude the car owner?

Do you expect a serious answer to your question,
or do you wanna hear a funny story?

You think that nerd who, when he found her,
went to bawl in a men's room...

could have ripped a girl's guts out on
a crowded ferry? Calm down a minute, Fred.

At what point are you in the case?

Well, I sent some of the murderer's
blood down to the boys at the lab.

Ah. They put it through the hemo snifter.

The answer they came up with is it
could be anyone of a million people.

Hmm. What we do know is that he's, , between-

Maybe. Maybe he's between 28 and 30,
and he's lived all his life in New York.

Hmm. And do you have a plan of action?

? No, 1 do not know what I'm gonna do.

Maybe- Maybe I'll go to a shrink and
get a psychological profile on this nut.

It may narrow the field a bit, and, , I may get a clue.

Yeah. I'm sure that's probably a good idea.

The important thing though, Fred,

is that New Yorkers believe we have
the situation firmly under control,

that the metropolitan force is an example
of perfect efficiency.

Got it? Mm-hmm.

Keep in touch, will ya, Fred?

Lieutenant. Hey. Somebody called forya.

Yeah? Who? Guy with a strange voice.
He said he'd call back.

Sounded just like a duck.

Like a duck.

Where have I heard that before?

[Beeps]

[Beeps]

Don't tell me you're thinking of beating me.

[Children Chattering In Distance]

[Knocks]
It's open.

[Door Closes]

Just a minute.

I'm looking for Dr. Davis.

What's the problem? Well, my problem is
that I want to talk to Dr. Davis.

[Chuckles]
That one you've solved.

Yeah. That figures.

- You were expecting-
[Beeps]

an old coot with silver temples and a
German accent.

How unimaginative you policemen can be.

It's about that maniac who loves to slash
young girls to death, right?

How did you guess that?

I eat oodles of carrots.

Never mind. Let's get to the point.

You want me to collaborate on the case,
don't you?

Yeah. More or less. I figure if I'm up
against a maniac,

I might as well have some, , expert help.

Who's paying? ?

[Chuckles]
It's a fine art- hedging.

The truth is I'm quite busy, and, urn,

the time I'd dedicate to you I'd have to
take away from my other work.

I expect the administration will be able to
raise enough money to meet your fee.

Got any idea what a genius costs per hour?

No, no. I just know what's in my paycheck.

Okay. You let me have all the data, and...

we wait for him to butcher another girl.

[Beeps]

- So you think he's gonna do it again, ?
- If he's a serious nut, sure.

We're having lunch at the club.

Enjoy yourself.

[Ship Horn Blows]

Jane.

Yes, darling?

Make plans for tonight.

I'm sure you'll find something to do.

Sorry, but...

I, - I'll be busy.

[Siren Wailing In Distance]
Don't worry, darling.

I had a feeling.

I already have something going for the evening.

Don't work too hard.
[Door Closes]

Well,

I think by now...

I know every one of these phone calls
from your friend inside out.

So?

And so I have come to three conclusions.

One: He's quite good at,
concealing his real personality,

which means total self-control.

Two
[Chuckles]

He wants to provoke you. And, ,

that's probably got something to do
with his motives.

And three:

Our man,

though a voyeur, a peeper,

likes to be noticed.

Neurotic and egotistical.

Mm-hmm.

Ten million people in this city, that's a
hell of a lot to go on, ?
[Chuckles]

Yeah. I grant you.

But- But at least we know he's not content
just to-to murder his victims at random.

[Computer Beeping]

And you can be quite sure that we're
up against a very superior mind.

[Men Speaking Spanish]

God. How's it possible?

W-Was he trying to rape you?

I don't know.

My head is still spinning.

The police asked mea bunch of questions.

I thought I'd die, Peter.

How do you feel now? Were you injured at all?

My legs feel sore.

I'm not sure.

The worst thing wa-about it was-

Shh. Don't think about it. No.

It's all over now. No.

N-No. I've got to-got to tell you something.

Later. No. I've got to tell you now.

After I was attacked,

I must have had a-some sort of nightmare.

I was in this empty movie house,

watching cartoons,

but like hallu- hallucinations.

And then you came in and killed me.

Yes. You were the murderer, darling.

What do you think? I don't know.

The girl is still pretty shook-up.
Sounded very confused.

I'll tell you one thing though, for what it's worth.

If the, , guy who attacked her is
our friend who talks like a duck,

well, he just committed his first big mistake.

Yeah.

Anyway, all five boroughs are on the watch.

We'll also hoot it over the radio stations.

Shouldn't be too hard to find a guy with
two fingers missing on his right hand.

Want a ride? No, thanks. I think I'll take a stroll.

Okay.

Keep in touch. Mm-hmm.

terrible things...

I said about Susie.

I'm sorry, darling.

Forgive me?

There's nothing to forgive.

Don't worry about it.

You're not just saying it?

I've got to know that you believe me, Peter.

I'm so scared of what's going on inside me.

Well, of course I do.

But I also believe that reality is a hell
of a lot more dangerous than a dream.

The truth is, you escaped
from a crazy son of a bitch...

who's murdered three women already.

You were very lucky.

What did the police have to say?

They wanted to know all about the guy...

who followed me in the subway.

What was he like?

Oh, strange, weird.

Eyes that kind of-

of looked through you, like-

This New York Ripper case is taking up so much

I have to moonlight. It becomes a vicious circle.

Mmm, you're telling me.

Paul, tell me, how is it you picture this ripper?

young, intelligent,

affable, undoubtedly from a good family.

He has only one minor defect.

He does what he wants. How the hell
should I know where he is?

Every time he comes in there's always
some mess, some kind of problem.

He still owes me two months' rent,
the son of a bitch,

plus the $2001 lent him!

[Sobbing Continues]
I just can't take this anymore!

You won't find anything here.
Why don't you just go and leave me alone?

[Sobbing Continues]

Yeah.

You have no right to
-to bully a law-abiding citizen.

Look what you've done to my apartment.

God! I can't take any more!

What the hell do you want from me?

[haven't done anything!

Why don't you leave me alone?

Exhibit "A"...

and Exhibit "?�."

Our friend really must be a weirdo, ?

Yeah, that's what Davis said.

[Sobbing Continues]

Okay, sweetheart, when did you last see Nice Boy?

What is it, you fell as all deaf or something?

I've told you it was last Monday or Tuesday.
I don't recall.

He's out with a who reshacking up somewhere.

I don't know what the hell girls see in that guy.

Trouble is, they only get to see him once.

[Peter]
Careful, careful.
[Fay Grunting]

I couldn't take that hospital a second longer.

I was going out of my mind.

Yeah, hospitals are a real drag.

And besides, I kind of like the idea...

of coming hereto your house for a while...

[Grunting Continues]

and being cuddled and comforted by you.

Well, if you don't behave and rest up your
bones just a little,

you'll never get back in shape.

I thought you wanted to winsome gold at
Los Angeles. Eh, Miss National Champ?

[Chuckles]
There's plenty of time yet.

Now I'll just take it easy and get some
love and understanding.

[Giggles]

You're pigheaded.

How many times do I have to-Look, you know
darn well the problem is my leg, not my head.

The brain's fine. It's the brawn.

It takes more than talent to win, honey.

You've got to have willpower.

Mmm. Yeah. You lack it.

In this country,

if you're not good at something, at anything,

if you're not the best,
the smartest or the toughest, that's it.

You're screwed. You won't get anywhere.

[Fence Gate Rattling]

[Children Shouting, Chattering]

Well, how's your leg?

Clinically it's healed,
but I've got to tone up the muscles.

, we were just gonna make coffee.
Care for some?

No, thanks. I won't be staying too long.

Mathematician?

Physicist.
I'm doing research on entropy at absolute zero.

Hmm. Interesting.

Good chess player too, I bet.

Now, why have I come hereto bother you?

Be nice to know.

, are you absolutely certain...

that the guy who attacked you
was Mikis Kalenda?

Why? What do you mean?
You don't believe me?

Just asking once more.

What do you mean, not now?

Don't give me any of that crap, man.
You better just do what I ask.

I've got all the pigs in the city on my ass.

All right. I'll be back in a little while.
You need anything?

No, only you, baby.

[Both Chuckle]

Sometimes I wonder how a girl like you,
with an I.Q. of 182,

could be such a dummy.

[Laughs]
It's you, baby.

Your overpowering touch shorts
out my brain circuits.

[Both Chuckle]

Okay, see you in a flash.

It'd be better not to open the door to anybody.
You never know.

Don't worry. I'll watch the property,
and if anybody comes, I'll bark.

[Kisses]
[Kisses]

[Grunting]

You know, I have so many doubts
about Fay Major's testimony.

There's something fishy about it.

Too many gaps,

as if, , she were holding out on us.

Come on, now, all we need to nail
Mikis Kalenda in court...

is that tape of his bout with Jane Foster Lodge.

Professor, could you sign this? Yeah.

It was his fourth victim, right?

Yeah.

But look at this Kalenda character.

He's a guy who lives just for sex,
a 42nd Street gigolo.

The phone calls, on the other hand-

Yeah, the phone calls indicate a very
intelligent personality...

with a refined cultural family background.

Come on. We know he's our guy. All the rest is
malarkey shit, just for experts like you, not me.
Okay?

However, to paraphrase Verlaine, in subtlety
lies the essence of things. Bullshit.

You're a pretty lucky little lady. I mean,
that's the second time that the Ripper's missed you.

If it weren't for Peter though,
this time I don't know.

And if you cops hadn't stopped me for a routine
check, I would have been here a lot earlier.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but a lot of cops are
out there day and night stopping cars,

trying to catch that bastard.

Then again, it was you who said you'd take
care of her, that she should stay herein your house
where she'd be safer.

That's, -That's what I thought.
But I had to go out.

Anyway, if anything else happens, you,
um-you call me right away. Okay?

Good night.

You throw a challenge my way,

You wait till it's all over.

You should see her.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Nice work. How's your heart?

Hmph.

You wanna take a look at it?

The doctor says I gotta give up smoking.
If I take it easy, I'll survive. What can you
tell me about him?

Well, from the pulmonary exam,
the cause of death was suffocation.

You know, the cellophane bag he had on.

Time of death? Well, that I have on the button
Tuesday the 10th, eight days ago.

Eight days? Bullshit, man.

That son of a bitch-he murdered Kitty four days ago.

He can't be dead for eight days! You're wrong!

Come on, Barnaby. How long have we known
each other? Sixteen years or more, no?

If I tell you the moment of death was eight
days ago, it means it was eight days ago.

Sure, I-1 admit I could be a couple hours off,
but no more.

Jesus Christ.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing.

It was not Mikis Kalenda. Okay?
So we're back to square one.

[Chess Board Beeps]
Well, we are and we're not.

Because by wiping out Kalenda,
who was really just a procurer,

it tends to bring us back to-to
my original idea...

of a person who has to blame the rest
of society for his own shortcomings.

Let's say it's a woman. She picks her
victims because they're young, they're prettier...

and a great deal more fortunate than her.

[Chess Board Beeps]

And if it's a man?

Well, a man with a woman whom
he's in love with...

but who has something wrong with her,
like she's frigid, can get very paranoiac.

In which case, he used Mikis to run
around procuring his women?

[Chess Board Beeping]
It would appear so.

No, Kalenda was a petty criminal
who got caught in the middle.

Yes, he was a pervert who tried
to assault Fay Majors,

and when she fingered him he tried to kill her.

Found himself in a dead-end street,

and knowing he would probably get blamed for all
the other murder she put a bag over his head.

[Woman On PA.]
Dr. Richardson to Ward 5.

[Woman]
"Now, on Granny Duck's farm, there was a tiny pig,

"a baby pig just born,

"and when they saw it,
they all jumped up and down with glee.

"Oh, they were excited!

"'How sweet he is! How tiny, tiny!

7 never knew piggies could be so cute
and funny! I wish we could take him home!'

"Granny said,' Quack, quack You like him?

'He's a good little piggy.

"You can have him if you want, but you'll
have to ask your uncle's permission.'

"So lickety-split they called their uncle,
who said, 'Quack, quack Harrumph!'

'"But, Uncle, you said you had a puppy when
you were little. Can't we have one too?'

"And their uncle went,' Quack, quack. Okay, okay.

"But it better not be very big or eat too much.'

'Oh, thanks, Uncle!'

"So they picked up the piggy and took it home.

"And when the uncle saw it, he was mad!

'"I think that was a nasty trick.

'"You didn't tell me you were talking
about a baby pig.

"Quack, quack! Take him back!'

'Oh, please, Uncle. He's so tiny.'

'"Well, okay, quack, quack, just so long
as he doesn't dirty-

[Quacking]

Well, I found out that Fay Majors
is enrolled at the university,

so I, -I went and I fished out her aptitude tests.

Apart from an incredibly high I.Q.,

there's also a note with five stars saying
that she tends toward hallucinations...

and quite often she has visions which
to her seem reality.

NOW, does that ring a bell?

I'm just a stupid cop, right?

So it may surprise you to know that I've had
her followed since first thing this morning.

[Door Closes]

[Footsteps]

Is that you, Fay?

Fay? Fay?

Hi, honey. Where have you been?

Around.

- What do you want to eat tonight?
-Anything you want.

Okay.

No one's come around to see her in months now.

How much time has she got left? Almost none.

Her entire lymphatic system is shot.
It's very sad.

A sweet, intelligent girl...

just lying there day after day fading away.

A terrible process. That's lymphogranuloma.

And here she lies with one parent off in Brazil.

And the other, you say,
pays the bills and never visits.

No. Her parents had her committed,

but they only came to see her once
after the amputation.

She'll never grow up to be a woman.

Now I understand.

Under that tent lies the motive.

Lieutenant, I'd have Peter Bunch's
house put under surveillance immediately.

[Fred]
You really don't have much faith in us, do you?
It already is.

Hello?

We haven't played in such a long time.

Did you call headquarters?

Nah, they'd just make a mess.

[Quacking]
Bye-bye.

Fay? Fay!

Fay! Don't go in Susie's room!

Stay out of Susie's roo-

stinking hospital!

[Thuds]

[Whimpering]

[Nurse]
Hmm?

What is it, Susie? You want to call
your father up to play ducks again?

[Fay]
That hallucination made me start to wonder.

Then the hospital bill, those marks
on the wall by the movie house,

the broken knife.

But I was sure of it when I heard Peter
on the phone with his daughter...

and he started to speak with a strange voice,

telling her all about how the-how
the world is unfair and-

[Sobbing]

And then he started talking about me...

and how-

how he planned to get rid of me!

[Sobbing Continues]
It's all over.

You know, it's strange, the brain.

The duck was what snapped in Peter's mind.

It's what happens when you want to erase guilt.

In putting all the onus on the duck,
he wasn't the one who was responsible.

The duck became a kind of outside
avenger for his daughter...

who would never become like other women,

and he never realized that a little
affection is all she asked...

for her to bear the tragedy of her condition.
