stop flicking your Ash into the sugar

every time you come into this house you

criticize it and me and Victor now

p well come along mael perhaps we'll see

you later go

ahead good photograph of you not bad is

it you sit down AR you thanks have a

drink uh no thanks cigarette uh no I won

smoke well what can I do for you as a

matter of fact I happen to be connected

with Scotland Yard oh what am I supposed

to have been doing nothing like that I

rather hoped you might be able to help

us yes of course you've read about these

murders in the paper oh yes who hasn't

well this Strangler Fell's got us rather

guessing you know and I'm very anxious

to get in touch with anyone I've reason

to believe was in the vicinity when the

crimes were committed this last girl as

you know was murdered on Hamstead Heath

on Monday night not far from the

fairground what part of the heath

exactly were you on Mr cook oh so you

know I was there then how on Earth did

you find that out we get to know a lot

of things after all that's our job well

there's no need to beat about the bush

Chief Inspector

Conway if you want to know if I went

near the place where the woman's body

was found I did as a matter of fact I

went to the fair stayed there for an

hour then I got bored me for the strug I

wanted some fresh air I did pass quite

near the scene of the murder I

recognized a spot from the newspaper

photographs was there anyone with you no

I was

alone take a look at this photograph of

the murdered girl Mr Kook it may give

you a clearer idea than the pictures in

the

paper striking looking girl isn't

she she was the fourth wasn't she no the

six that is if you include the two last

year who were obviously victims of the

same man

of course I was forgetting that now

throwing your mind back to that walk of

yours Mr cobber can you remember seeing

her or anyone like her on the heat I'm

afraid I can't it's not very surprising

really according to the Press she must

have been murdered about an hour before

I left the fair yes but before then when

you were at the fair no in fair I can't

remember seeing anybody in the least

like

her uh during your walk did you keep to

the path or did you cross the grass at

all the path you sure yes

I may wandered off to shortcut a Bend or

two matter of fact I believe I did and

you're quite positive that during the

evening you never saw this girl

quite well that's

that bet I haven't been in much use to

you inspector no fault of yours that but

you might have saved us a lot of trouble

if you had come to us instead of leaving

us to find you after all we did put an

appeal in the papers you

know excuse

me H up

who inspector Conway oh it's for

me hang hello

yes they speaking don't you know my

voice

yet

huh what do you mean we've had a

postcard I mean a postcard from the

murderer sir it's addressed to Scotland

Yard the big four the big four with a

query off to Big it says you poor half

wits six murders and you haven't even a

clue there'll be another corpse

tonight right I'll come straight

back I'm so sorry I have to let him know

where I

am look here there is one way you might

be able to help us uhhuh you know we

keep a record of all the ladies and

gentlemen that go through our hands the

Rogues Gallery oh part of it I wonder if

you'll mind coming along to the yard and

having a look at it you might just spot

a face you remember on that walk of

yours of course when would you like me

to come well I would have suggested

tonight only I heard you say you got an

appointment well I have as a matter of

fact but uh I should be free by about

10: I suppose that'll be too late not a

bit of it Scotland Yard is always open

we leave it to that then thank you Mr

CBR I'd appreciate it there's one thing

I'd

appreciate really what's that you're

telling me how you know I was on hamster

tee last Monday night that'll be giving

away professional secrets

but people are very careless you

know goodbye

goodbye he seemed a very pleasant man

dear what did he

want yes he's

gone I know that dear I asked you what

he wanted who

wanted nothing in

particular then was it uh business yes

way has

you could yourself I am no Tom and I

believed you only the girl that shares

my room at the hospital said you were

having me on and that I was a fool if I

looking in at the yard the other evening

you're more helped than you're now I'm

glad

I wonder if You' mind coming along again

this afternoon sir about

4:00 what exactly do you want inspector

well unfortunately as you know that

gentleman you picked out had an

unshakable alibi yes was a pity he's a

shift looking

customer but we don't want to hang the

wrong man do we whatever his personal

appearance is so I want you to have a

look at some more photographs I'm still

interested in that man you say you saw

on Hamed heat yes's the m

no I have nothing particular on this

afternoon good you're losing a

handkerchief oh thanks see you

later I'm still intrigued as how you

found out I was on the

heath I'll let you into the secret one

of these days

do you remember taking him out to New

Scotland Yard last night yes what

time well I had M rubber about off past

9 just a 4 10:00 little B the man

where'd you pick him up just outside men

there I was coming back to the rank a

slim goodl looking fell without a hat or

Overcoat well he was slim looking all

right but he had a hat and macing Tosh

on you sure that yes I'll tell you why

why you kept me waiting so long outside

the yard I thought he'd jipped me it's

hardly the place for that so I had to

look around and I see he left his at

MacIntosh in the

cavard oh yeah Eddy yes

mhm that might help quite a little bit

[Music]

we've added the hat and raincoat is that

the effect you wanted to get sir

yeah yeah that's

fine nice job V sir all right Rush those

off to the local jaaps see if they can

place him anywhere in the Region's Park

District last night very good sir

now oh good send him straight up he's

here is yes sir I want you to tell him

that is if we don't hold him he didn't

see you when he was here last night ID

no sir all right they'll tip you off

downstairs not that way idiot he'll see

you and Ellis try disguise those

handlebars of yours will yes region Park

couple arrived a half an hour sir yeah

what do you make of that young woman's

statement sir you know the woman that

shared the dead girl's room why didn't

you think it was funny that this man

should tell the girl his name was Tom M

well he wouldn't tell her his own name

would he why that of a famous murderer

that's sort of thing a man with a walk

brain would do funny about the name Co

Brook though my m is only saying last

night it somehow connected in her mind

with cripping the ddes in the bath and

the Camden town murder all her other PS

in the chamber of

Horrors Mr C Brook

sir good afternoon Kobo uh this D

than uh excuse

me

yeah

ready oh do

that hang on a minute there's a couple

downstairs who think they can give us a

clue to the murderer might be amusing to

have them up don't he yes

very all right send them up right away

this will give you an idea of what we

have to put up with at the yard every

day sure don't mind thought I'm rather

enjoying the chance of seeing the way

the wheels go around as a matter of fact

these people swear they actually saw the

murderer last night in region Park

indeed and they're positive they can

identify him again

really looks if you're getting a lucky

break at last inspector yes it does

doesn't

it come in come in will you please

good afternoon good

afternoon Miss

Kim Corporal molo uh maralo indeed Mr

Cobo how' you

doing all right you want to leave yeah I

got to be back with the cruts in 4 days

the Kuts yeah you know uh

Germany yes of course well I must thank

you both for coming up with your

information so promptly oh that's all

right

Captain

inspector now

hope according to your statement you

took Miss Kemp to Regent Park last night

for a walk yeah for a

walk and you passed the exact spot where

the body was found yeah there was a

couple necking on the grass as we went

by yes that's right then Nick went and a

the man for a match didn't you that I

did and you heard the church clock

strike 9 a few moments later well we

heard it strike we left the dance at

8:30 had been gone more than half an

hour couldn't have been 10 so must have

been

nine sounds logical perfectly I see you

both state that you believe you know

this man again sure like a shot in spite

of the fact that you didn't see his face

I don't need to see his face just his

back you show me that back and I'll show

you your man why was there any anything

very distinctive about no not exactly

but you see I'm used to sizing people up

yes Nick's a Taylor by profession I know

that back any place wouldn't you sure

and the man in question was wearing a

soft hat and a lious raincoat that's

right and would you say he was an

elderly man no on the young side tell

that by his back uh-huh by the hand he

gave me the box of matches with I'll

tell you another thing too he's not the

kind of guy that has to dig up roads for

a living well judge him by his hands

anyway a gentleman eh could

be I've got an

idea Sullivan get my hat and no raincoat

out of the

cupboard now I'm going to suggest that

the sergeant here puts on that coat and

hat then perhaps you can tell us in what

way his manly form differs from the fell

in regen spk I can tell you that now

he's too

fat f

you mustn't be unkind to the sergeant he

is on a diet oh no

offense

well suppose I try no no he he was a

different Bill to

you more like our friend

here uh this gentleman

yeah you know it might be very useful to

get a really accurate idea of this

Fell's size and build

would you mind if we tried out this

impression on you Mr

K seems rather silly to me your mind sir

mine I should

I would you sit on that desk with your

back to

us this is all very stupid

we're forgetting the

Hat his head was bent down wasn't it

excuse

me anything like him take a good look uh

don't say anything L you're

sure no need to hurry this plenty of

time

well how much longer is this nonsense

going on it's worth from being

photographed anything like the

man yeah

very you're sure positive guy we saw was

exactly his bill wasn't he Yes except

this gentleman shoulders seem a bit

broader to

me no I wouldn't say that

of course it's not the same back oh no

it's not the same

bag oh thank you very much you been a

great

help happen day Mr

coook I'm glad you think

[Music]

so boy you f up with life

[Music]

I'm convinced he's the man we want a he

was on the heat the night of the

Hamstead murder B there's that slip he

made when he said Regent Park instead of

Hamed heat and we have that cigar on him

at least we would have if that idiot

hadn't smoked it that'll be

SE that as you say salivan would be

SE then there the Taxi man who brought

him here last night after the region

Park murder was

committed listen salivan that girl was

killed about nine but that Taxi man told

you he picked up cook just before 10

didn't he didly well didn't he yes of

course he did well Cook's not going to

hang about in Regent Park after he

committed a murder so he probably went

straight to bake Street where he picked

up that

cab but that leaves 3/4 of an hour

unaccounted

for what did he doing that time well one

or two pubs around there sir

restaurants yes

and your wife second home well the

Chamber of Horrors

here who told you to interfere with

those curtains who did that it ought

have been taken away but it's holiday

time and we're short-handed who did it I

came in here last night to lock up and I

found him just like that some madman I

dare say didn't like the way he stared

at him perhaps funny how he always

seemed to stare at you old cobbrook the

happy Yang

was but I shared his worries I knew what

they were and I helped him fight

their children to share their worries

with them it's against human nature I

suppose but Victor don't you

I've often wanted to say this to you

before don't you think you'll be much

happier if you found some nice girl who

understood you if you got married and

settled

here to see me but amongst them all

there must be one surely there must be

one yes
