Hello.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

I almost didn't,

and then I got lost,

all turned around. Nothing looked the same.

Would you like something to drink?

Maybe that would be good.

Some white wine?

Uh. I'm out of white wine right now.

I've had enough to drink already.

Maybe too much.

How did you get away?

My sister's having problems

with her husband.

I told Collin she needed to see me.

At this hour?

It's a crisis.

What did you say?

"Thanks for the party."

Collin won't miss me.

He's your husband. I just work for him.

I don't know what to say.

I don't either.

I've never... I know.

Why did you... Why are you...

Because you want me to.

And have wanted me for a long time.

I was so obvious?

I couldn't ignore it.

And I guess I'm to the point

where I need to be wanted like that.

Collin...

Oh, don't tell me Collin knew, too?

If Collin knew...

You know him.

What do you think Collin would do if he knew?

I don't know.

Mmm.

Mmm.

I can't move.

Thank god.

Ha ha!

But I have to.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Whew.

Woman: Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Terry!

Uhh!

Aah!

Terry!

What?

Help me!

Help!

What is it? What happened?

He was trying to kill her.

Who was?

Hey, you. Are you all right?

He's gone now.

He had her from behind.

He was dragging her toward the street.

There you go. Take my arm.

Looks like she's all right.

Come on, come on.

Hey, they can see you.

He was trying to kill her.

To realize it was really happening.

Did you see him?

Yes. His face was so white.

Oh. okay. Okay. Okay.

I've got to get out of here.

I'll walk you to your car.

20, 24... with unbelievable white skin

and red hair combed back like a duck.

A duck tail. Yes.

That could've been me down there.

You may have saved my life.

The pleasure was mine.

In fact, let me go further.

If I can be of service again...

Oh, don't.

I can't even think about that now.

I'm scared and later than I should be,

and that could be trouble for us both.

Any regrets?

Not one.

In spite of what happened,

maybe because of it,

it's the most exciting night

I can remember.

You?

Regrets? are you kidding?

All right! Ha ha ha ha!

Rough night last night?

You're late. Thought maybe you slept in.

He's been asking for you.

Collin?

Good luck.

I want the concrete on the site.

If I get there and find my boys

sitting around pulling their puds...

What happened to you last night?

Well, see to it that you do.

Every last yard of it.

Party. Where did you disappear to?

Oh, nowhere. I went home.

And the next thing I knew you were gone.

What's that?

It's a beauty, isn't it?

Belonged to bugsy segal.

40 years old, never been registered.

Where did you get it?

A friend. Got it from a friend.

Hold it.

Feels good, doesn't it?

The way it fits in your hand.

Almost makes you wish you had a reason to fire it.

Excuse me. Your paper.

Ahem. Thank you. Hi, Terry.

Hi, lilla.

Well, the market's looking up.

How are things coming on the wooton project?

Hello?

In fact, I'd better get back to it right now.

May I?

Be my guest.

What's so interesting?

Looks like the mideast is heating up again.

Well, you see, that's why I never read the news.

Right.

What do you think about it...

The girl in the news?

A few blocks away,

less than half an hour later.

I think there's a good chance

not the same girl, though. Mm-mmm.

You said the one you saw had brown hair.

Mmm. God, it's scary.

Did the paper say anything else about witnesses?

Said there weren't any.

Mmm.

Terry, if it was the same man

and no one else saw him,

I should go forward,

give the police a description.

Mm-hmm. you could ask them

to keep your identity a secret.

What if they wouldn't? It will all come out.

What about a letter?

No, they wouldn't pay much attention to it.

They would think it was from some crank.

Oh, Jesus, Terry, I want to do the right thing.

Why should my life be turned upside-down

just because I happened to look out of a window?

It's not fair. Mm-mmm.

Am I terrible?

No.

What are you doing?

Police department, please.

Aah! Terry!

I'll tell them what you saw,

only I'll tell them that I saw it.

Why shouldn't I have been the one looking out of it?

Hello? Yes. I witnessed an assault last night... okay.

They'll probably make a hero out of me.

But you'll be lying.

Hello?

And I thought I'd better call up about it.

Right outside my apartment near the Washington monument.

12 east mount Vernon place.

Terry lambert.

Sure.

That's the most romantic thing

I've ever seen in my life.

You did that for me.

You remember what he looked like?

Mm-hmm. Tell me what he looked like.

Tall, red hair.

Mm-hmm. Yes, combed back

behind the ears like this.

Mm-hmm.

What was he wearing?

Uh, tan jacket and blue jeans,

tennis shoes.

When you say tennis shoes,

you mean tennis shoes or running shoes?

I mean tennis shoes.

And I'm going to make love to you

like nobody ever has before.

But I'm not sure we'll have time

before they get here.

Get here? Terry! Mm-hmm.

Some detective. He sounded very excited, actually.

Oh, my god. Ha ha ha.

Terry, you're gonna pay for this.

No, you'd better not. Collin might be home.

On the other side of the Washington monument

in an hour.

I'm detective quirke, and this is detective Jessup.

May we come in?

Yeah, sure. I'm sorry.

Nice apartment. I like these old buildings.

Mm-hmm.

You live here alone?

Yes.

Why?

Detective Jessup will take notes,

if you don't mind.

What happened, what you were doing, what you saw.

Well, I'd been to a party, kind of an office party...

Office?

Wentworth construction.

Collin wentworth? You work for him?

Yeah. Anyway,

we just closed a big account,

and we were having a party to celebrate.

I came home early and went to bed.

Around 10:00. Then later, at 2:15...

I remember, 'cause I looked at the clock...

I heard a scream, not very loud,

but I could tell it came from the park.

I jumped up and I went to the window.

Which window?

The bedroom window.

May we see it?

Mm-hmm.

Were the drapes open?

Yes.

And what did you see?

Right down there. He had her from behind

and was sort of dragging her toward the street.

Uh, she was struggling.

And then he threw her down

and that's when she screamed real loud, "help! Help me!"

And then he ran away.

Why didn't you call the police?

I didn't think it was that important,

until I read about that other girl that was murdered.

What made you think there was a connection?

A few blocks away, half hour later.

No, Mr. lambert, we think there's a connection, too.

And we're very glad you came forward.

Cigarette? no, don't smoke.

Good for you.

Do you mind?

Did you get a good look at the assailant?

Yes.

Describe him, please.

Young, early 20s, 6-foot.

Any distinguishing marks or characteristics?

Red hair, red hair,

combed back behind the ears in a duck tail.

Tan jacket, blue jeans, tennis shoes.

Tennis shoes or running shoes?

Tennis shoes.

When you say tan jacket,

do you mean a sports coat or a windbreaker?

Windbreaker.

You have a good eye for detail, Mr. lambert.

He probably came from behind that tree.

The girl says the sidewalk was deserted,

that he came out of nowhere.

She barely saw him at all.

By the way, do you know her?

The girl. She lives around the corner.

Ahem! No.

She's a lucky one.

The other girl was raped, beaten to death, and dumped.

You said he was dragging her toward the street,

and he was trying to get her to his vehicle.

She's a lucky one, all right.

Mr. lambert, you said you came back from the party,

went right to bed?

That's right.

Were you alone?

Yes. Didn't I say that?

Not exactly.

I was alone.

That's why he went to sleep, Dave.

Just wanted to make sure.

Aah!

Did you mean windbreaker or sports coat?

Windbreaker. Why?

I was so nervous. I didn't know what to do.

Tell me what happened.

There's something I want to see.

That's where she lived, the girl that was killed.

Come on, I'll show you.

This one was attacked on her way home, too.

But if it happened so soon after,

how did he plan it?

How did he know where she lived?

I suppose he came driving down this street.

You know, he's... He's angry.

Excuse me, please.

Okay.

He's frustrated after his aborted attempt

outside of my place.

He stops at that stop sign right there.

Looking over, he sees a car

parked in the red in front of this building.

He sees a girl locked in the arms of her lover,

having a last good night kiss.

On impulse, the killer backs up.

He sees the side door of the building,

he parks, and returns on foot.

He's guessed that the girl lives in the building.

That soon she'll be going inside.

He runs up the steps to the front door,

where he does something to the lock

something that'll prevent the key from opening it.

And he slips back down the steps to the side door

to watch and to wait.

The girl gets out of the car,

waves good-bye,

goes up the steps.

She tries to open the door, but she can't.

She turns to call after her lover,

but he's already speeding away.

So she decides to go around to the side door.

The police told you all that...

About the girl?

Most of it. The rest was in the paper.

I want you to know I really appreciate

you helping me do the right thing,

giving the police the description.

Let's hope it's of some use to them.

When will I see you again?

Soon. Very soon.

There you go.

Hey, what's in the bag?

A little lunch time shopping?

Uh, just some white wine.

Have you been up to something

you shouldn't, old boy?

What do you mean?

Cop was here to see you.

Detective Jessup.

He wants you to call him at that number.

Thanks, Collin.

Well, what's it all about?

Nothing much. A few nights ago,

I witnessed an assault on this girl.

Sounds interesting.

Not a rape, Collin, more of a mugging.

No big deal.

Which night?

Which night?

Yeah, which night was it?

Thursday night.

That was the night of the party.

Yeah, that's right.

Well?

Aren't you going to call 'em?

Yes,

I'm going to call 'em.

It's Terry lambert, detective Jessup.

Certainly. 7:00? That will be fine.

Probably go over my statement again.

You know the police.

Frankly, I'm surprised to see you get so involved.

I didn't know you had such a strong sense of civic duty.

Hey!

I didn't know you appreciated French wine, either.

I'm developing a taste for it.

Just tell me what you want.

Yeah, okay. Just a sec. Yes?

I'm here to see detective Jessup.

They're running late.

If you have a seat,

they'll have it set up

in a few minutes.

Yeah. Burglary. Uh-huh.

No. Of course.

Yes, thanks.

All right, hold on.

Late setting what up?

You said they were running late setting something up.

You're here for the line-up, aren't you?

The line-up? Yes.

No, I think I was supposed to just come down...

You must be the one.

I mean, they told me there was a witness.

Yes.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh, hi.

Of course, you two must have

but I'll have to ask you to refrain from doing so

during the proceedings. Right this way.

Now there are 6 men I want you to look at.

Don't worry. They won't be able to see you.

I don't want to disappoint you,

because sometimes people see more than they realize.

But Mr. lambert here,

he got a good look at the man.

You did?

Well, I, uh...

Jessup: Step right up, gentlemen. Don't be shy.

That's right. All the way to the end.

Take your time.

Look at each one...

Very carefully.

Face left, gentlemen, please.

But you did get a good look at him that night.

Good enough to give us

that detailed description.

But seeing them all together like this,

I just can't be sure.

But surely if you were to come

face-to-face with the man

you described in such detail,

you'd recognize him, wouldn't you?

Yes, I think so.

That's the way it goes. Your hunch was wrong.

One of the men you saw tonight

has done this kind of thing before.

That, combined with your description...

Well, obviously I was wrong.

We'll just have to keep looking.

Sorry.

I'm sorry you didn't recognize him.

Yeah, me, too.

I've seen you before... At Edgar's.

I don't think...

I cocktail there.

It's not my night for recognizing people.

I was walking home from work the night it happened.

I don't do that anymore.

There's a lot I don't do.

Can't do till I know who he is.

They seem pretty sure that the same guy

attacked that other girl.

Only she's dead, and I'm alive.

I should feel lucky, I guess.

Do you think they'll catch him?

I hope so.

Well, good night.

He's not even telling her about it.

You'll see when he takes his hood off.

What if it is him? What do we do?

First, you'll have to tell me whether it is.

Terry, there must be hundreds of young men

in Baltimore with red hair.

I don't know why you think...

There! Look.

Man: You can't weld it down here.

I want you to have a better look.

That's him, isn't it?

Come on, Sylvia.

He's just what you said,

the hair, the size, everything.

Even the white skin.

I can't say.

Not for sure. Why not?

I just can't.

But it might be him.

It might be.

But what good does that do?

What good does any of it do?

I couldn't go forward before.

It would be worse now.

If he did what he did to those girls

but we don't know it, Terry.

I am not sure.

That detective quirke...

He said that one of the men in the line-up

was there because he had raped before.

But you don't know this is the one

he was talking about.

I'm sorry, Terry.

I know you're disappointed,

but there's nothing I can do about it.

I'll tell you what.

Let's not spend our time driving around, okay?

Okay.

Can I get you something from the bar?

Uh, yeah. A beer.

Draft?

Yeah.

Hey.

Oh.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Whoa!

Yeah! Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Good lord, have mercy.

Men: Table! Table!

Men, chanting: Table! Table! Table!

Table! Table! Table!

Man: Yeah!

No keep going! Go around!

And me, making a fool of myself.

Here, watch this.

Ready for another?

No, thanks.

Oh! Oh, my god! Oh!

That's all right. No, really.

Let me buy you a drink.

It's the least I can do.

It'll make me feel better.

Okay, okay.

It'll make me feel better.

♪ Take me in your arms and make love to me ♪

Don't want to wake them.

No such luck.

Chris, is that you? You come up here!

I'm tired of you being out

till all hours of the night!

I told you to be in this house before midnight!

If this ever happens again,

you're packing your things and leaving!

I mean it!

Go on down!

You be quiet about it down there!

That's it. Get her out of here.

What's going on?

They found her body stuffed in there about an hour ago.

Any idea who she is?

Nah.

What do you think?

Interesting.

Here's Peters.

Is this what time

don't start, huh? I hear you got something.

Peters. State's attorney's office. Nice to meet you.

I understand you've told quite a story.

I'd like to ask some questions.

Why didn't you identify Henderson at the line-up?

Henderson?

That's him... Chris Henderson.

I didn't wanna make a mistake.

At night, to see him under similar circumstances.

Unusually conscientious.

At night you became positive

he attacked miss connelly? Yes.

You still didn't identify him. You waited...

2 days. Why?

I don't know.

What do you think? Have we enough for a search warrant?

With lambert's positive I.D., Henderson's record.

Can I tie Henderson to the dead girls?

She was in a bar last night.

I'll see if anyone there recognizes his picture.

I can probably get the warrant without it,

thanks, Mr. lambert. You've been a big help.

I only wish I had helped sooner.

Even if you'd identified Henderson earlier,

they wouldn't have arrested him.

He'd of still been out on the street last night.

Our concern isn't the assault itself...

Except as it helps to build a murder case.

And thanks to you, it's helping.

Maybe we'll tie Henderson to the dead girls.

If we do, we're off and running.

Don't torture yourself about what might have been.

What you did was right, there's no doubt.

I just wish you hadn't had to do it.

He could come back and hurt us.

My statement's only a tool for their search warrant.

Beyond that, they don't care about me

you didn't tell them you followed him to the bar?

Either I recognized him at night or I didn't.

I had no reason to follow him.

Suppose they discover you lied?

They don't care about me.

I promise I won't let them find out about you.

Hello?

Oh, how are you, detective quirke?

I see.

Thanks for letting me know.

Good luck to you.

What? What did he want?

They got the search warrant.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I guess so, but...

Nobody at the bar remembered Henderson.

But they've got the warrant anyway?

Yeah. My statement was enough.

That'll be the end of it.

To connect him to the murders or they won't.

They're done with me.

The search was somewhat disappointing.

No fingerprints, no blood samples, no clothing.

Nothing to prove Henderson ever came in contact

some cotton fibers match the sweater of one girl,

but it's common fiber.

We found some peppermint-flavored toothpicks

in the truck's glove compartment.

Each girl was prevented from entering her residence

by a toothpick jammed into the keyhole

and then broken off

the newspapers mentioned jammed locks.

We held back about the toothpicks.

So what happens now?

I'll let Peters explain.

Jesus, that Holden's a breaking judge.

Have you filled him in?

I was just starting to.

We got a murder case we can't win,

some insignificant cotton fibers,

some toothpicks anyone could possess.

My assistant learned that brand

is given away in lots of Baltimore restaurants.

So he didn't do it?

He could have raped the girls,

hammered them to death with his fist.

He could have thrown away the gloves he wore,

any articles of clothing with blood on them.

A car wash would have cleaned his truck. Whew!

What I'm saying is

we can't prove that he did it.

So detective quirke and I have agreed

to go with the assault case.

We prosecute Henderson on the assault case.

We can win that. It's open and shut.

We got a witness who saw him do it... you.

You said you didn't care about the assault.

I don't if there's a chance for murder,

but we're up against it.

We aren't giving up on the murder cases.

We might get lucky when he's in prison.

You mean someone may kill him?

I doubt that lucky.

I meant Henderson might shoot off his mouth

to somebody who wants to make a deal.

Meanwhile, he doesn't hurt anyone.

How about being a star witness?

I...

This isn't what I thought would happen.

Don't worry. It'll be a breeze.

All you've got to do is tell the truth.

You said that would not happen.

You'll have to testify under oath.

How do you think I feel?

Why did I have to look out that window?

Why did you have to call the police?

If he's not put away, he could kill again.

All he's being tried for is assault. What a mess.

It's not your mess. It's mine.

I'll protect you from it.

So far, all you've done is grandstand.

First for me, and now for them.

You believe that?

You wanted to be the hero.

See where it's gotten us?

I am the one with everything to lose!

Sylvia.

Hey.

I thought it was you.

How long... what are you doing?

What does it look like?

I'll walk a while if you like.

Oh, I'm... I'm going.

I was happy to hear they're going to prosecute

what happened? You thought about it later and were sure?

Something like that.

I'm better. I'm doing things like this now.

I used to run at night.

Mostly I'm just waiting to testify.

It's all I think about.

I'm nervous. Are you?

Your testimony is much more important than mine.

Even if I have to get up on the stand, I want to get him.

You must feel the same way.

Yeah.

I just want to tell you how much it means to me

to see someone who's not afraid to come forward.

I'm not doing so much.

You're telling the truth.

That's more than most people would do.

See you in court.

Oh, Terry, I'm so ashamed. Do you hate me?

Of course I want to stand by you.

I'm just scared.

So am I.

You forgive me? Do you?

Let's go upstairs.

I want to.

I didn't.

And I want to come to the trial.

When you testify,

you'll be testifying for both of us.

You'll be saying the words,

but they'll be my words.

I'll be right there with you.

This way.

State your name for the court, please.

You swear the evidence you're about to give

is the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth?

Yes.

Please take the stand.

This won't take long.

What were you doing on April 21st at 2:15 A.M.?

Looking out my bedroom window.

Your bedroom overlooks the park?

Yes.

A man fighting with a woman.

Physically fighting?

Would you describe as exactly as you are able

he had hold of her from behind, trying to drag her...

Objection. Conclusion.

Sustained.

Was he dragging her?

Yes, toward the street.

Then what happened?

He threw her down on her face,

grabbed hold of her neck,

and started to strangle her.

What did you do?

I went to yell out my window.

She screamed, and he ran away.

I'd like you to look around this courtroom.

Do you see the man you saw attack that girl?

Yes.

Please point him out.

Let the record show the witness is pointing at the defendant.

You are sure the defendant is the man you saw?

Yes, I am.

Thank you, Mr. lambert.

One moment, Mr. lambert.

There are two lawyers in this case.

Yes, I would like to take you through this one more time.

Perhaps in a little more detail.

You were in your apartment on east mount Vernon place.

You looked out your window

and you saw a man fighting with a woman.

Yes.

What time was that?

What were you doing just prior to looking out the window?

Just prior?

Were you watching television?

Reading? chatting with friends?

Sleeping.

In your bed?

Yes.

Not in a chair?

No, I was in my bed.

When did you go to bed?

Around 11:00.

You had been to a party that night, correct?

Yes.

Did you have much to drink?

No. I left early.

I had been working hard and was tired.

So you went home to get some sleep.

You're sound asleep at 2:00 A.M.

What woke you up?

I heard a scream.

There were two muffled screams.

What did you do?

I went to the window.

Did you turn on a light?

Did you stop to get some milk?

And that's when you saw this man and woman fighting.

I went to open the window, but it stuck.

The woman screamed,

did he run away as soon as she screamed?

She screamed twice, "help! Help me!"

And the man ran away, I think.

Well, it all happened pretty quickly.

How quickly?

What?

You saw these people fighting.

The woman screamed, the man ran away.

It happened very quickly. How quickly?

Five seconds?

Uh... it must have been longer than that.

For all that to happen. Yeah.

Why don't we just say that you saw this man

for a brief time period,

during most of which he was moving quickly.

Would that be an accurate statement?

How far is it from your window

to the fountain steps?

15 yards?

It's 22 yards.

It's 22 yards. I never measured.

Well, we did measure it.

The night of April 21st, was that a clear night?

It was pretty clear.

So visibility was good.

There are streetlights also.

There are three, spaced along the block.

Yes. The park's well-lit.

Well-lit?

Oh, yes.

As well-lit as this courtroom?

No.

You're sure?

Of course.

Of course you're sure.

Your honor, with your permission,

objection, your honor. What kind of experiment?

This experiment is relevant?

Yes. It'll take two minutes.

The court can indulge defense counsel

for two minutes.

Thank you, your honor.

One thing before we begin...

Mr. lambert, would you remove your contact lenses?

Your contact lenses. You're wearing them, aren't you?

Yes.

Then kindly remove them.

Mr. lambert wears hard contact lenses.

That's true, isn't it?

They're irritating if you sleep with them in.

He would have taken them out that night.

Isn't that true?

He just said that when he was awakened by screams,

he hurried to the window without making any stops.

Surely he won't now say he put in contact lenses.

Will you?

No, I didn't have them in.

So I repeat my request that you remove them.

I think you'd better remove them. Here.

No, I, uh...

I have a lens case.

Now, Mr. lambert, the distance between us

from your bedroom window to the fountain steps.

Turn out the lights.

Objection.

If we are to re-create the circumstances

under which the witness observed the defendant,

surely it should be done properly, by experts.

Let's indulge defense counselor for two minutes.

Frankly, I'm curious as to where this is heading. Proceed.

Thank you, your honor.

Mr. lambert, I'm holding in my hand an object.

Could you kindly tell the court

what this object is?

It's a... You're holding, um...

Come on, Mr. lambert. What is it?

I can't quite make it out.

Come on, Mr. lambert. What is it?

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Help!

Help me!

Shall I give you a hint, Mr. lambert?

Is it a cap?

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Is it a lady's slipper?

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Is it a red wig?

Well, let's try it with the lights on.

How about now, Mr. lambert?

I can see...

I can see that something's there.

But you can't identify it,

not even with the lights on.

Just a book, Mr. lambert. Just a red book.

I see why motor vehicles stipulates

that you can't drive without glasses or contacts.

You're shortsighted.

Yes.

In fact, you're extremely shortsighted.

I don't know about extremely.

Wouldn't you agree that a person who failed to distinguish an object

in a brightly lit courtroom from 20 yards away

could fairly be described as extremely shortsighted?

Yes.

Wouldn't you also agree that it would be unlikely

that an extremely shortsighted person

could positively identify someone glimpsed at night

from 22 yards away for only a few seconds?

You never said you're nearsighted!

You never asked.

With motor vehicle registration!

Accused assailant Chris Henderson

the case against him dismissed

for insufficient evidence.

Baltimore police report no new leads

in the so-called dumpster murders.

Could I talk to you, please? I'm your neighbor.

It's funny how two people can live so close

and...

My name is Kathy. Kathy hoffner.

Terry lambert.

Oh, please excuse the way I look.

I'm such a slob today.

I heard your footsteps on the stairs,

and I thought it was probably you,

so I just threw this on and came out.

Well, I'm just getting home.

I didn't know whether to say anything,

I feel funny about talking behind people's backs.

Talk to who?

The police.

The police. Oh, you mean back then.

I talked to them back then, too.

They asked me if I was awakened by the attack.

They were here again today.

Today?

They asked me if I saw you that night.

Seen me?

First I thought I hadn't.

Then I remembered that I had peeked out

when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

I was nervous after what had happened.

What did you see?

I saw you coming back in.

This was later, after the excitement had died down.

I went out for some air.

Did you see me go out?

The police asked me the same question.

I just saw you coming in. Must have been after 3:00.

Oh, I'm sure it wasn't that late. No.

Thanks for letting me know about the police.

Anytime. anytime at all.

You heard they let him go.

It's sickening, isn't it?

Want a beer?

Thanks. I would.

So that's the famous bedroom window?

Yeah.

Do you mind?

I know, Terry.

What?

It wasn't you in the bedroom window.

She was the witness. She saw it, not you.

Who? I'm sorry they let him go.

But you went forward...

Save it, Terry! I saw her in the park,

and I saw her in court coaching you. Pathetic.

What, is she married?

Must be, to someone powerful.

It doesn't matter, really. What matters is he's out there, free.

There's nothing that can be done about that.

They can't try him again.

Not for attacking me,

but with some more information,

they might be able to get him

for what he did to the others,

the girls that didn't have someone like you to protect them.

The question isn't what am I going to do,

it's what are you going to do

and what is she going to do?

Now it's my turn to watch.

Thanks for the beer.

Terry!

The cops have been here. They just left.

Here? They want me to call them?

They don't want to talk to you...

They wanted to talk about you. About me?

How long you've been here, what you're like.

They also want to know about the night of that party we had.

What your mood was, why you left early.

It's almost as though they suspect you of something.

Did they ask anything else?

If I'd noticed anything unusual about you

on April 26 or 27.

What?

They think you keep a diary of my moods?

Why would they ask about those dates in particular?

Who knows?

Anyway, thanks, Collin. I'm sorry they bothered you.

The police don't know about you, not yet.

They've been questioning my neighbors.

I think they've tapped my phone.

They've been watching me.

She saw you in court. She's figured it out.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Terry, you made a mistake, a simple mistake.

The police wouldn't do that.

They were at the office this morning

questioning Collin.

Collin? that's right.

Why would they question Collin?

About me! Sylvia!

That's what I'm trying to tell you!

Do they suspect you were... With somebody?

I don't know what they suspect.

It looks like they're wondering

if maybe I didn't kill those girls.

They're trying to put the blame on somebody else.

It's ridiculous. You're being paranoid.

Anyway, what did they talk to Collin about?

They asked about April 26,

that's the date of the second murder.

They also asked him about the night of the party...

Why I left early.

The party?

What if Collin starts thinking about the party?

Well, one way, that would partially solve our problems.

What do you mean?

You wouldn't need to be so afraid to go to the police.

Go to the police? I can't do that.

You know that. You've always known.

Besides, I think you're exaggerating the whole thing.

What about the redhead, Henderson?

If you'd testified, he wouldn't have.

I never said it was him. I was never sure.

You made up your own mind about that.

If it was him, he could do it again.

Stop it, Terry. That's not fair.

It's not my fault this is happening.

Besides, it'll work out. The police aren't fools.

What about Denise connelly? Who?

The girl that was attacked!

She knows all about us.

Tell her we need a little time. I have to think.

She'll be reasonable, won't she?

Maybe.

She has to be.

I didn't get us into this. You know that.

I have to go now. I do.

I never even knew you wore contact lenses.

Little reverse english, you'd have done all right, al.

Thanks, Denise.

Now, the police seem to have gotten it into their heads

that maybe I had something to do

they know you lied. They just don't know why.

Yeah. Did you see any of it that night?

She saw it, but she wouldn't go forward,

so you took her place.

I thought I could bring it off.

And she let you?

You're either a romantic fool,

or you're an idiot.

I don't know which is worse.

What does she say now, now that you're in a spot?

She wants to wait...

Give time to the police to sort it out.

You don't understand her position.

Sure, I do. She has a husband and a stud on the side,

and nobody the wiser. She wants to keep it that way.

Uh, Denise...

Yeah. So, what are you going to do now?

If I had it to do over, I'd do it differently.

But it was my idea to handle it the way we did,

and I just don't think it's fair for me

unless she's come to the same conclusion I have.

Like I said, a romantic fool.

What about Henderson?

She's not sure it was Henderson, and she never was.

But you were sure. That doesn't make any sense.

And I'd like to tell it to you someday. I would.

But right now, Denise, all I want is a little more time.

Denise, seriously. Come on.

But I'm giving the time to you, not to her.

You're the romantic fool.

She knows exactly what she's doing.

Child: I've got it! Ha ha ha!

Mr. lambert?

Good morning.

Would you mind coming with me?

Detective quirke and I would like to talk to you for a few minutes.

Shall I follow you?

That's okay. I'll bring you back.

Mr. lambert.

Seems you haven't been exactly truthful with us.

Oh, yes. I'm sorry about the contacts.

That's our fault. We should have asked.

I'm not talking about that.

We've learned that you went out that night.

You told us you were in bed. Yes.

That you were awakened, you witnessed the attack,

and then you went right back to bed.

Yes, I did go out. I... I forgot.

You forgot?

Yes, I...

Yeah, I did. It's...

When did you go out?

Uh, afterward, before I went back to sleep.

I went to get some air and look around.

I was all keyed up. It's...

When did you come back?

A few minutes later. That's why I forgot.

Look, I know that you've been questioning

my neighbors and my boss,

and you've been having me followed,

but I...

Look, you don't really think that I'm...

I'm not a suspect, am I?

Suppose you tell us about the bar.

What bar?

Where the murdered girl Stephanie lugie

spent the last hours of her life,

where no one... No one... Can remember

having seen the redhead Chris Henderson.

Cocktail waitress remembers you quite clearly.

She spilled a drink on you.

Was that something else you forgot?

Where did you get that picture?

Am I... Are you arresting me?

No. Not just yet.

We're moving a little slower this time around.

I don't think I should answer any more questions

until I consult an attorney.

That might be well-advised.

Hello.

What are you doing? You can't just call here!

We have to talk.

That's impossible!

I have to see you right away.

No! I can't see you.

I can't see you at all anymore.

I've been to the police. They've been questioning me.

It doesn't matter. I can't see you,

and I can't talk to you.

Sylvia, don't make me...

I have to go now.

Don't hang up on me!

Goodbye!

Who was that, dear?

Terry.

Terry lambert.

Tell Mrs. wentworth it's Terry lambert.

Was she expecting you?

I'm sorry, but she isn't here.

You tell her, or shall I?

She's not here. No one's here.

Where are they?

Damn it! Where have they gone?

The ballet.

They've gone to the ballet.

I don't know.

Listen, I'm going to talk with him.

What are you doing here?

You gave me no choice.

Are you crazy? People will see us!

We've gone past where any of that matters.

You may have. I haven't.

Our affair, the fact that you witnessed the attack...

I've told you... I will never, never

Sylvia! I've told you that from the start!

Shh!

Don't touch me!

They suspect me of murder. I've been followed.

They may have followed me here.

They may be watching me right now.

Then you leave me no choice but to talk to Collin myself.

I'm sorry, Terry, but it's too late for that.

I've already told him. I had a feeling...

Told him what?

That I went to bed with you... once.

On condition I swear I was in bed with him the night of the party.

He doesn't want to be dragged into that mess!

I told him I would.

Hey! are you all right?

Yeah, thank you. I'm fine.

I had to. I had no choice.

And I told him you'd been after me ever since

to continue the affair,

to say I was with you when I wasn't.

You'll have to find some other way to solve your problems.

There is no other way.

With or without you, I'm going to the police.

Well,

you do what you have to do...

And I'll do what I have to do.

Goodbye.

It was him, wasn't it? The redhead?

Let go of me, please.

You were sure, weren't you,

right from the beginning?

You were sure it was Henderson.

All right. I was sure!

Of course I was sure.

There's nothing wrong with my eyes.

The act is almost over.

It would be better to wait.

Of course.

What's going on?

Oh!

Mmm mmm mmm!

Ah!

Ah... ah...

Sylvia!

You bastard!

Grab him! He stabbed my wife!

Unh!

Get him! Aah!

Oh! Oh, god!

Aah!

He killed my wife!

Stop him!

Aah!

Call the police!

Aah! aah!

Get him! Get him!

Aah! aah!

He's the killer!

You're not supposed to be back here.

Hey! Security! Get security!

Yeah... The back door.

Tonight the Baltimore social community is shocked

over the murder of one of its own.

But police refuse to speculate

here at the townsend theater is connected

to the so-called dumpster murders.

An employee of the dead woman's husband,

Collin wentworth, was a witness

to an earlier related assault.

Police are seeking him for questioning.

Thank you, Craig, for that live minicam report.

Hundreds of schoolchildren swarmed aboard the tall ship...

Denise...

Oh!

Oh! Ow!

Denise!

Oh, my god. I don't believe it.

Well, here it is.

Good night.

Yeah.

Thanks, Peter.

Good night.

So, what do you want me to do?

I'll tell them everything and try to get them to believe me.

You'd seen us together.

You saw Sylvia at the trial.

Why shouldn't she be at the trial?

But Denise, you know she was the real witness.

I can say I think that. I can't prove it.

Those people at the townsend theater

will say they think you killed her.

I led him straight to her.

I knew I was being followed, but not that it was Henderson.

And he couldn't have planned it better.

He got rid of the one person that could implicate him

and the one person that could clear me.

So now it looks like I was trying

to shift the blame from the beginning.

Let's go upstairs.

Want a beer?

Yeah.

Tell me something.

You didn't suspect me like the police. Why?

I knew something the police didn't.

Remember the first time we met? The line-up?

How could I forget?

I knew something was wrong even then.

It was obvious you'd never seen me before,

from your bedroom window or anyplace else,

and you were completely indifferent to what you did see.

Not flattering, perhaps, but upon reflection, trustworthy.

You weren't interested in fucking me,

and you certainly weren't interested in killing me.

You weren't interested, period.

He'll do it again, you know.

Kill some girl, or try to.

I'll be safe in jail. The perfect alibi.

I wonder what sets him off.

Between the 2 of us, we know more about it than anybody.

You were there that night at the bar

when he picked out that sorority girl.

The night he attacked me, I don't remember him at the bar,

but he was probably there watching me.

Do we look alike at all, that other girl and me?

Not really.

What made him single her out?

What made him notice her in particular?

Well, everybody noticed her.

What do you mean? Well, she danced.

Danced... to a record?

With her friends cheering her on. She was sexy.

You didn't dance for him, did you?

Sure. On a Thursday night, the place is packed.

I don't have time to breathe.

Did anything unusual happen that night?

It was Peter's birthday.

Peter?

I remember, because the next day, after what happened,

he told me I should have given him the present he wished for...

He wanted me to go home with him.

What happened that was so unusual?

At midnight... We'd gotten him a cake...

And at midnight, c.C. And I brought it out.

Okay, you guys! This one's for Peter!

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Peter ♪

♪ happy birthday to you ♪

Yay!

Peter made a wish and blew out all the candles.

And then I kissed him.

Yes, I kissed him,

and so I kissed him again, and they cheered even louder.

Whoa!

Then he kissed me.

I mean he really kissed me,

and everybody went crazy.

But you don't remember him there, Henderson?

At that other bar, either, the one where you saw him.

Another beer?

Yeah.

Two victims. Both young, both pretty.

Both were in bars where they could be watched by him,

and both did something that made them the center of attention.

Maybe he gets excited, too, but he wants to kill.

What a guy.

What can I do? I'll take my chances with the police.

Do you know any lawyers?

Yeah, a guy I used to go to school with.

I thought I'd give him a call.

It might be better to go in with somebody.

You can stay here tonight if you want...

On the couch.

Call him in the morning.

Did you love her?

Sylvia?

Love...

I didn't really even know her, as we've seen.

I was just something for her to do.

I can think of worse things to do.

Here.

You're awake.

What time is it?

About 4:30.

Listen... why don't you come into my room?

I'd like you to.

I find you attractive.

I mean, that's not true.

That is true, but...

That's not the real reason.

Ever since that night,

I haven't been able to...

To do certain things.

Tonight, I think I could,

I mean, if you... want to.

Come here.

Come here.

There's a bed in there.

What's wrong with this?

Nothing, I guess.

Terry? Come here.

What's wrong?

Wait a second.

Things are definitely looking better to me this morning.

Me, too.

I was thinking.

About it being only a matter of time with Henderson,

and sooner or later, he'll kill again? Yeah.

And that would clear up your problem?

It could happen sooner instead of later,

with a little help. What do you mean?

Think about it.

Some girl who could inadvertently push his buttons.

That could take a long time.

What if some girl who knew what buttons to push

deliberately set about pushing them?

A girl who was his type?

Forget it.

Why?

I won't let you.

Why? It's dangerous.

Not if you help. We won't let it be.

No. I said forget it.

Thank you. I appreciate the offer.

It's no more than you did for her.

That I was either a romantic fool or an idiot.

I was probably both.

You know, if I want to ahead, you couldn't stop me.

You'd be in custody, remember?

But I do have my own reasons for wanting him caught.

He assaulted me.

If I thought you were serious...

It would never work. He wouldn't go for you again.

He'd know it was a trap.

Not if he didn't recognize me.

You just don't think I'm sexy enough

to make him try.

Why wouldn't he recognize you?

Because, Terry, I'm a woman,

in case you still haven't noticed.

How do I look?

Uh, detective quirke, it's Terry lambert.

Never mind that now. You've got it all wrong.

Uh, I want to give myself up.

I do, but just to you...

And detective Jessup.

Well, there's something I want you to do.

No, not now. Tonight.

Look, one more day won't make a difference.

Look, just be at this number after 10:00.

I'll tell you about it then.

Just be there.

What did you do to your eyebrows?

Dyed. fake eyelashes.

What do you think?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Why would he have to work late tonight?

Why not?

What if he doesn't go out?

What if he goes home after work?

Then that's it. I call quirke.

Look.

Now, remember. Stay back a little.

Watch me in your rear-view mirror.

I'll be right behind you.

Go...

You better hurry. Go.

We don't get separated, no matter what happens.

You lose me, stop and wait for me to catch up.

But by then, he'd be...

We don't get separated no matter what, agreed?

Agreed!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on!

Not one of your better places in town.

There's a phone booth right back there.

Let's go over it one more time.

I go in and try to set the hook.

If it looks like he's gonna go for it...

I call quirke, tell him what's happening,

to get over to your place and meet me there.

I drive home with Henderson following.

If he goes for me, quirke's there to see it.

Mm-hmm.

1-l-16. see the woman.

Washington street. Cross street harbor.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Can anybody hear me? Hello?

Police frequency. Clear line.

Listen, I wanna... can I talk to detective quirke?

This is a police frequency. Clear the line.

Listen, bitch, I know this is a police frequency.

I've just stolen a police car.

Now, let me speak to detective quirke.

Get out of the car you have stolen and go to a telephone.

Can anybody else out there hear me in any other police cars?

Negative. no one but me.

Then relay this. This is Terry lambert.

And I'm on my way to Denise connelly's apartment,

the address? 7345 monument street.

Quirke knows the building! Just tell detective quirke!

Tell everybody!

Aah!

Aah! Uhh!

Uhh!

Help!

Help me!

Somebody!

Uhh! Aah!

Aah!

Help!

Aah!

Uhh!

You?!

Get out of here!

Oh!

Uhh! uhh!

Aaaghh!

Aah! Aah!

Denise! I'm okay.

He can't get away. No, Terry.

They'll think I did this, too!

Terry!

Hey!

Down there! Help him!

Help him!

Don't shoot!

Oh, shit.

We'd have gotten him anyway, you know.

Eventually, we would have muddled through.

What did you put in his ignition, toothpick?

Paper clip.

Cute.

So what happens now?

There's still the matter of perjury

and obstruction of justice.

I'd say he's looking at 10 to 12 years.

Just kidding.

Get yourself a good lawyer.

You seemed like such a levelheaded girl.

That was a stupid play you made tonight.

You're lucky it turned out all right.

You both are.
