And uh thank you for staying late to

help me with the inventory.

>> Always a pleasure, Mr. Calderon.

>> Shall we come in early tomorrow

afternoon to finish it?

>> No, just be here at the regular time.

And enjoy the day with your families.

>> Good night.

>> Good night, Mr. Calderon.

>> Good night.

>> Good night, sir.

>> Good night, Maria. And thanks for

staying to help us.

>> You're welcome, sir.

>> Maria,

I know it's a beautiful night, but I'm

responsible for all of you girls who

work here at the club.

I'd feel better if you stayed a few

minutes and let me drive you home.

>> You're very thoughtful, but I know this

section and

as you say, it's a beautiful night.

>> Very well, but please be careful.

>> I will.

>> Good night, Maria. I'll see you

tomorrow.

>> Good night, Mr. Calderon, and thank you.

>> Cuts on both of her arms.

Exactly like the others.

Get her down.

>> What will you do now, Inspector Ramos?

>> Do you know the name of Adam Rourke?

>> Every detective in the world has read

his book on sex crime motivation and

investigation.

>> And he is my personal friend.

I'm sending a cable to New York tonight.

>> I'm glad to see you, Adam. Welcome to

Manila.

>> Miguel, it's nice seeing you again.

You know, it's been 4 years. And from

the look of your face, I'd swear you

haven't aged more than 10.

>> [laughter]

>> What's up, Pari?

Let me take this.

>> No, no, come on. What's up?

>> You're American detectives. You don't

even permit me the courtesies of

greeting.

>> Listen, I know a chief inspector of

homicide doesn't send plane tickets to

their friends just so they can fly in

and sit by the ocean and watch colorful

bunkers drift by, right? Besides, I got

to know that particular look pretty well

on your last trip to New York. What's

up?

>> All right, my friend. I'll tell you on

the way home, and I'll tell you some

more when we get there.

My guy is there. Let's go.

>> Okay.

All exactly the same.

>> All neat, all deep.

All precisely 10 cm long.

Not a fraction more or less.

On the inside of both forearms of every

single victim.

>> Very calculated and very professional.

And every victim a young, attractive

girl.

No deviation.

None.

Are you absolutely sure each victim was

completely drained of blood?

>> Except for fractional amounts in the

hands and head.

No, Adam.

It could not have been done with

anything like that.

The incisions are too thin, too neat.

We have talked to every friend, every

family.

Anyone who could help us find any kind

of link, any kind of pattern that could

tie the victims together. Do you know

what we found?

>> No.

>> There's no connection.

And Adam,

it has to be only one man.

No two persons can kill so many people

exactly the same way each time.

>> Except for one thing.

>> What's that?

>> What if the killer were twins?

>> [laughter]

>> Since you're supposedly here to help my

brother, Mr. Rock,

it might be better if you remember the

pressures on him instead of making

jokes.

>> I'm glad you're here.

Adam, I want you to meet my sister,

Sylvia.

>> How do you do, Sylvia?

I'm sorry if that last remark created

the wrong impression.

>> No apologies necessary, Mr. Rock.

But it might help if you remember that

you're in a country whose customs and

attitudes are not your own.

>> Sylvia,

Adam is an experienced lieutenant of

homicide himself.

And he is also my friend. Do I make

myself clear?

>> Quite clear, Miguel.

>> Now, what is it you wanted?

>> To pour myself a drink.

But if I'm disturbing

>> No, no. You know all about this. Go

ahead.

>> Is there anything I can get for you,

Miguel?

>> A rum and calamansi, please.

>> And um

for our guest?

>> The same if you'd be so kind.

>> Late yesterday, one of my men raised the

fact that Maria Cortez

was working as a hostess at the Barrio

Club

here in the city.

>> Have you done a follow-up over there

yet?

>> No, frankly, I wanted to talk to you

first.

>> I'm glad you did. That gives me an idea,

Miguel.

You don't have any Americans working on

the force, right?

Therefore, the possibilities of somebody

spotting me for a cop are pretty thin.

Secondly,

I'm a stranger here.

So, there's no chance of running into

any previous acquaintances.

Miguel,

this is probably the best setup you've

ever had for putting in a plant. Now,

let me function as an undercover man.

I can pass for a tourist. I'll even wear

colorful sport shirts and can two

cameras if you like. What do you say?

>> No, Adam. No.

Thank you, Sylvia.

>> We don't know why he drains the blood

from his victims.

We can only assume that there's some

peculiar twist in his sick mind.

>> Do you think there'll be other killings

at the club?

>> Not necessarily.

Of course, you don't have enough men to

warn, much less protect every attractive

girl in town. And if our killer even

suspected we were trying,

he'd pick up and move to a new area, a

new city.

>> Then it would be harder to look for him.

And in the meantime, there will be more

killings.

>> Right.

I'll do some digging on my own about

this last girl. Maybe it'll help speed

things up for you.

>> No heroics now. No foolish chances. Just

information. All right?

Then there should be no connection

between the two of us for a few days.

Anyway, I'll provide you with a contact

man.

>> Good.

>> Adam,

there is another possibility I would

like you to know.

There are many sophisticated people

among us,

but there are many more who are not.

There have been some rumors in the

villages about a strange blood cult,

voodoo and the like.

And since none of the victims' blood

had ever been found on the scenes of the

murders, people have begun to think and

suspect that it had been taken for some

fiendish purpose.

>> Really?

>> I know, I know. But anyway, I would like

you to think about it.

>> I'll do better than that. First thing

tomorrow morning, I'll go down to the

main library, and I'll read up on Count

Dracula and the medieval witches.

>> My brother is trying to help you.

>> And I'll remember what he said, Sylvia.

Don't move. There, at the base of your

neck, two small holes. Yes, fang marks.

Sylvia,

I think that

>> And I think that only a complete fool

would ignore all the possibilities that

might apply, even the occult.

>> Regardless, I would like you to bring

Adam into town.

>> No, thanks, Miguel. I'll call a cab.

>> If there is to be no connection between

us, there should be no connection at

all, not even a cab driver.

>> Miguel, I'd prefer that you

>> And I would prefer that you help us in

this matter. Since you have just

returned after 2 years of studies in

London,

no one would recognize you at this hour.

The Lusong Hotel is very clean. I'm sure

you'll get a room there. My man will

contact you tomorrow.

Adam,

here is additional material that I

prepared for you.

>> Thank you for your hospitality and the

spirited conversation.

>> My sister, Sylvia, is very headstrong,

but she means well. I hope you two get

along well together.

>> Miguel, I didn't know you had a sister.

>> In here, yes.

Her father was connected with an English

firm here in Manila before the war.

During the occupation, he joined as a

guerrilla.

He was very brave, but very unlucky.

>> And her mother?

>> Her mother died a few years back.

>> So, your family adopted her.

>> Ganyan lang ang buhay.

>> Say love you.

>> Así es la vida.

>> That's just the way the world works, eh?

>> I just ran out of languages.

>> [laughter]

>> Okay, Harvey boy, let's go.

>> Harvey?

>> Yes, Harvey. I always take him with me

whenever I'm working. Oh, by the way,

who runs the burial club?

>> His name is Calderon.

>> Uh-huh.

Thanks.

>> The hotel is two blocks back on the

other side of the street.

>> I hope you'll forgive me for that little

joke I made back at the house.

>> Oh,

was that a joke?

>> I see.

Well, I guess there isn't too much more

to say except good night.

>> Except one thing.

>> Yes.

>> Right now my brother needs the help of

people who can equal his dedication.

Not that of

>> Of wise cracking skeptics who ignore the

possibility of the occult.

All right, I'm just surprised that you

believe in such things.

>> Do you have all the answers to life, Mr.

Roark?

>> Not the last time I checked, no.

>> Well, then it might surprise you to find

out that there are still some mysteries

that science and policemen seem unable

to answer. Goodnight, Mr. Roark.

>> I came here to help Miguel. And I intend

to do it. Because you're his sister, it

make things a lot more pleasant if I had

your friendship, too. But I don't need

it. Now, in the interest of friendship,

I'll make a simple bargain with you.

I won't form any final opinions of this

case till all the facts are in. If you

do the same with me. Okay?

>> All right.

>> Now, if you promise not to tell a soul,

I'll let you in on one conclusion I've

made already.

>> Really? What?

>> Regardless of how it turns out, you must

admit that someone has come up with a

novel idea for a blood bank.

>> Why you crude.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music and singing]

>> Do you have a cigarette?

Do you have a light?

>> [music]

>> Yeah.

>> I was just going to ask you something

very personal, but

you have that business before pleasure

look in your eyes.

>> Not really.

>> Yes, really.

>> You're very perceptive.

>> Well, I'm not very subtle, but

be sure to ask for me [music] when that

look changes.

My name's Teresa.

>> [music]

>> Good evening, sir.

What would you like?

>> Whatever you make best.

>> That is difficult. [singing and music]

>> [music]

>> Best rum, the best way.

And no charge for a new visitor's first

drink.

>> Your eyes are sharp as your drinks, huh?

>> It's part of my job, padre.

>> Oh, excuse me.

>> Yes.

>> Maybe you can help.

This club is run by Mr. Calderon, isn't

it?

>> Yes.

>> Where can I find him?

>> Why?

>> I want to talk to him.

>> You're a good man.

>> I'm a stranger, and right away you

spotted the fact that I did a wrong to

Mr. Calderon, and maybe even kill him.

>> [singing]

>> Maybe you are all right, padre.

But I still won't tell you until you

tell me.

>> I'm a writer.

Magazine articles in general, and

anything else I can get in particular.

Now, I read the newspaper [music] story

about the murder of Maria Cortez.

>> Yes.

I would like to put my hands on the one

who did that.

>> Then you can help.

And Calderon, too.

>> You'll find his office at the top of the

stairs back there.

>> Thanks.

>> But you must not.

He's very strict about that.

Now we shall have to wait until after

[clears throat] Serena's dance.

>> I can't let you go on doing this to

yourself time after time.

Dancing till you drop, overworking

yourself.

What about me? What about us?

Aren't we ever going to have any time

for us?

Is there never going to be any rest for

either

>> Awfully

>> Sorry, I thought that was a door to a

hallway.

>> Get out of here.

>> I'm looking for Mr. Calderon.

I have some very important business with

him.

>> I'm Calderon. I have nothing to discuss

with you. Now, outside.

>> Uh no offense. Uh I just made a clumsy

mistake. Please, accept my apology.

>> Get out.

>> You must be awfully tired after that

dance.

>> But it was wonderful. Like I said

before, ma'am.

>> Uh

no offense. I'm leaving.

Sorry.

Well.

>> When were you talking to him?

>> On the stairs a moment ago.

>> What did you tell him?

>> I believe I said, "Thank you."

>> For what?

>> For the compliment he paid me on my

dance.

>> I'm sorry.

It's just that just that everything

makes me nervous ever since Maria went

>> I know.

But don't you think you should go and

talk to him?

>> I'll be right back.

>> I think Maria had more spirit and more

laughter than anyone I ever knew.

>> You met her at the club, right?

>> Yes.

>> How long had you known her?

>> About 2 years.

>> Now that she's gone?

>> I don't know, except that I miss her

very much.

And sometimes when I think of the way

she was Oh, good evening, Mr. Calderon.

>> Good evening, Teresa.

>> Oop, now don't worry. I was just

leaving. Please.

>> Are you all right, Teresa?

>> Yes, Mr. Calderon.

>> Are you sure?

Would you like to go home early tonight?

>> No, I'm fine, really.

>> Good. Then would you excuse us, please?

I want to have a word with this

gentleman.

May we talk?

There are many problems to running a

business like this.

My nerves sometimes

well, I'm [music] afraid you startled me

at such a moment in the office.

>> It's my turn to apologize.

My pleasure, Mr. Calderon.

You know where I come from, folks don't

consider a man a man unless he knows how

to make an apology and accept one.

>> That's a very good philosophy, Mr.

Roark.

>> Adam Roark.

>> Moreno.

>> Yes, Mr. Calderon.

>> Whatever Mr. Roark would like.

>> Then have it brought down to us, please.

>> Another of your specials, Moreno.

>> And what would you like?

>> Nothing, thank you.

>> Well, since you said it was important

business,

I suggest a little more privacy.

>> There's nothing secret about it.

>> At least we can sit in more comfort.

>> Please.

>> Whatever you say.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> You know, it was pretty rude of me to

just stand there blabbering away after I

busted in your office and I saw you and

that lady were having some kind of

personal argument, but I Whoop.

>> [clears throat]

>> There I go again, sticking my clumsy

nose in where it doesn't belong. You

know, that's the trouble with all

writers. They're just plain nosy.

>> You must be a good writer because you're

very perceptive. We were having an

argument.

>> I hope you got it all worked out.

>> Just one of the usual conflicts between

a headstrong performer and practical

businessman.

But what a woman.

>> Well, those people out there were

reacting to her like a bunch of slaves

all hopped up on berry juice coming to

worship the high priestess.

>> I know I'd buy a ticket just to walk

down the street with her.

>> Excuse me. Was this for you, Mr.

Calderon?

>> For Mr. Roark, Elena.

>> Here you are, sir.

>> Thank you. How are your parents, Elena?

>> Fine, thank you. They're visiting

relatives in Zamboanga right now.

>> Please give them my regards when they

return.

>> Thank you, I will.

Nice meeting you, Mr. Roark.

>> Boy, you sure got good taste in the

women you hire.

>> Mr. Rourke,

it's very pleasant talking with you,

but well,

I hope you appreciate that as owner of

the club, I have many things to do. Just

what was it you wanted to talk to me

about?

>> Well, like I told you, I'm a writer. Oh,

not a famous writer, but I've always

been able to spot an interesting story

and make a pretty good living at it.

>> Do I understand that you want to do a

story about the club?

>> What I really had in mind was the girl,

Maria Cortez.

>> [music]

>> Mr. Rourke, I don't think I'd want to

exploit

>> Now, I know how you feel, and I admire

you for it. But I'm not talking about a

piece of cheap sensationalism. Human

interest is what I'm after. Of course,

I'm going to need some background

details to make the story ring true,

from yourself and other people who knew

her.

>> Mr. Calderon, this story can make the

Barrio Club famous around the world.

>> And you'll have full approval of

everything I write before I send it in

for publication.

>> [music]

>> Now, what do you say?

>> Are you from the police?

That's very funny.

I don't think so.

>> Oh, you would if you knew how I reacted

to the sight of blood.

>> But I'm sure they'll be around sooner or

later.

>> [music]

>> Aren't you?

Probably.

Yet, it seems strange that a tourist

should interrupt his vacation for such

an unpleasant matter.

>> Mr. Calderon, a writer is a writer. He's

always looking for an interesting story.

>> I see.

>> Now, if you agree, I can guarantee that

the results will be very profitable for

both of us.

What do you say?

>> Let me think about it. I'll try to

contact you in the morning and give you

my decision.

>> Fine. Where are you staying?

>> Luzon Hotel, room 12.

I do admit it's an interesting idea.

It's just that I have to reconcile my

previous affections for Maria with such

a concept.

Good night, Mr. Rourke.

>> Good night, sir.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> No.

>> [sighs]

>> Nope, there couldn't be that much of a

room shortage.

Can I assume he worked alone?

Sorry about that.

Poor Harvey, the things you go through

for me.

>> [music]

>> Well, however you are man, you've done

it again.

You don't know what this means to me.

And one of these days, I promise you,

I'm going to get you a complete paint

job

and an overhaul.

>> Wait, buddy. Wait. Wait, please. Be good

to the less fortunate. I'm hungry,

buddy. I'm hungry.

I hope you have a truly most kind May

you be happy.

Are you all right?

Fine. Fine. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

I'm nothing but the clothes I wore.

Please forgive me. And I won't even

blame you if you hit me.

>> Look, I said it's fine. Don't worry

about it. Guy isn't safe anyway.

>> And I wouldn't take that knife to the

police if I were you.

It's a knife, isn't it? A Chris Reeve

baton.

Yes. Our favorite attack weapon in this

part of the world.

Uh will you help me up and

walk me to that bench on there?

>> Why should I?

>> Because Miguel said that you not only

had a sense of humor, but you're kind

and generous.

Thank you.

And that bundle, if you don't mind.

I had a feeling you won't be able to

last till morning to take this to

Miguel.

>> You're quite an actor.

>> So are you.

While you were talking to Calderon last

night.

>> I don't remember seeing you.

>> I didn't want you to.

My job is not only to relay information,

but also to stay as close as possible to

you without arousing suspicion.

Oh, yes. I know I don't present a very

capable picture at the moment.

Well,

the bundle you're carrying,

it's a

modern science's contribution to my lack

of parts.

You'd be surprised how well I can move

when I'm wearing it. Like half an hour

ago when I pulled your victim across the

street.

>> Obviously a suicide.

>> Suicide?

Three bullet holes in him.

>> Marks.

Tell me.

You carry a gun?

>> Uh-huh.

>> Then why didn't you use it when our

friend paid me a visit?

>> I regret that I didn't see him until he

was on your balcony.

>> Well, fortunately you were better

prepared than I.

But I promise to be more alert next

time.

>> Thank you. That's very consoling.

>> Leave the bottom with me.

However, I doubt if

we'll find more than a few smudged

fingerprints on it.

What I'm more interested in is finding

out if if your visitor had connection

with Calderon.

>> That's right.

>> You'll hear from me. By the way, my name

is Herrera.

Now give me some more money and pat me

on the shoulder sympathetically.

>> I still think you're an expensive

proposition. You know that, don't you?

>> How's that, huh?

>> Thank you. Thank you. I've never seen

such generosity. Bless you.

>> Aren't you forgetting something?

>> Oh.

Thanks. I think you'd look more peculiar

with three than I do with one.

>> Good evening.

Please get in.

Yes, you.

>> Doesn't anybody sleep around here?

>> [screaming]

She set you up for that one and

you fell for it.

How?

What made you think she could change

that fast?

Your ego, that's what.

You overanxious schoolboy.

Noddy.

Clod.

>> [music]

>> I don't believe it.

I still don't believe it.

But there you are.

>> [sighs]

[laughter]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Are you positive she used to work in the

club?

>> I was even talking to her the night

before last.

>> Was she there last night?

>> I imagine so.

>> Why you didn't see her?

>> I didn't make it to the club.

>> Why not?

>> I uh

I was busy. I was out in the country,

just on the other side of the city.

>> Adam, is something

the matter?

There's something you're not telling me.

>> No, there's nothing the matter. It's

just that I'm nervous about coming here.

It's still too soon to start taking

chances.

>> It's not too soon for her.

>> Yes, I'm sorry.

I wish I had followed my instincts last

night.

>> What do you mean?

>> I was there.

She came home drunk. I thought about

seeing if I could help,

but I didn't.

>> You were there?

>> Yes.

>> Then you are onto something.

>> Not about last night. That was pure

coincidence.

>> Oh, I I'm sorry, Miguel. I I didn't

realize you had company.

>> Well, what is it you wanted?

>> Oh, uh nothing. I I'll talk to you

later.

>> Well, I was not expecting another

killing so soon.

>> I know how you feel, but give me two or

three more days. As regrettable as this

is, we still don't have anything solid

to go on, Miguel.

>> I know.

But I'm going back to the morgue to look

for some more clues.

Anything that we have missed, any clues.

Adam,

two or three more days, that's all I can

afford.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Oh.

Oh, I I am

I'm just coming out.

There's something I want to say to you

about yesterday.

>> There's something I want to say to you.

>> Oh, uh

yes?

>> [music]

[screaming]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Good evening, Mr. Calderon.

Fascinating woman, isn't she?

>> Yes, she is, Mr. Roy. [music]

>> [music]

>> Just thought I'd check in since I hadn't

heard from you.

Although, I've got the impression you

tried to get in touch with me the other

night.

>> No, I

I've been busy the last few days.

>> [music]

>> Make a decision yet?

>> Decision?

>> On that story I want to write.

>> Oh, yes, the story.

No, I haven't. But, I'm sure it'll be

all right after we discuss the few

details. [music]

>> Good. I'm glad to hear it.

Maybe we can start tonight. [music]

>> No, not tonight.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Come on. Come on.

>> Run to the locker. You mustn't. There

can be lots of trouble.

>> I'll take my chances, Elena. Thank you.

>> [music]

>> Get out of here.

>> I told you once before, it is not

permitted.

>> I was only trying to help, Solon.

>> You made me trouble the last time.

Now you mind your business.

>> Well, if that's the way you feel about

it, okay.

>> [music]

>> I think I don't like you as MUCH AS

BEFORE.

>> SYLVIA,

I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME ABOUT the trick you

pulled on Adam.

It was a silly thing to do,

but a very feminine one.

However, no matter what you feel about

Adam,

I ask you not to do anything

that can interfere.

Sylvia,

>> Yes.

>> Could it be possible that you no longer

feel the same way about Adam as when he

first arrived?

>> It's possible.

>> I see.

In a way, I'm glad.

Adam is a fine man.

In another way,

I hope you would consider your emotions

more carefully before giving them to men

who are in our kind of work. That is one

reason why I never got married.

I wouldn't like the woman that I love to

ever feel the loneliness

if I were to be killed suddenly.

>> That's very good advice, Mikhail.

It's a pity you didn't give it to me

before I realized I was in love with

him.

>> That's another reason why I never got

married.

>> What is?

>> That I still don't understand women.

>> No, Miguel, no. It's still too soon.

>> But it is my responsibility to protect

your life, too.

>> Miguel,

you know as well as I do, they'd simply

claim that I was trespassing and legally

speaking, they'd be right.

Actually, they didn't hurt me that much.

If the truth were known, I'm more

embarrassed than anything else.

>> I won't wait much longer, Adam.

>> You won't have to. Now, I'm sure we're

all on the right track. But all we have

right now is strong suspicions. Unless,

of course, you found proof to tie

Calderon in with the hotel room attack

and Teresa's murder.

Have you?

>> No.

>> Okay, then let's stick with the original

plan.

Now, what have you found out about

Calderon and the woman Serena?

>> All we know here is that they arrived

about 2 years ago with Peruvian

passports

and have taken out citizenship papers.

They had enough money to buy the club

and made it a success.

We have no idea where either the money

or where they came from before that.

But I have sent a wire to the police at

Lima for more details.

>> That's enough, Rado.

Get back to the bar. Go on.

Go on.

Go on.

I see that our easy-going writer also

has a temper.

>> Not really.

>> What's the trouble?

>> I'm afraid Moreno's getting a bit

overzealous again.

>> Uh

ladies and gentlemen,

I'm sorry for the interruption.

The dance will resume in just a moment.

>> Perhaps there's something we can do over

there.

>> Excuse me.

I'm sorry about interrupting your dance,

ma'am.

>> Please accept our apologies.

It's just that Moreno was loyal and Mr.

Calderon was angry with him for letting

you up to the office that first time.

>> [music]

>> Believe me, we'll be more than happy to

help you with your story.

>> Oh, he told you about it?

>> Yes, it sounds very interesting.

>> I'm glad to hear that from you.

>> Is he watching us?

No.

Calderon.

>> No, he's talking to some men over there.

>> Please.

>> [music]

[music]

>> No matter what he may have told you,

please believe nothing until I've had a

chance to talk to you privately.

>> [music]

>> Be here tomorrow night at 9:00.

I'll find you.

He used to be out of the club on

business.

Will you do it?

>> Gladly. [music]

>> I warn you, for your own sake as well as

my own, please say nothing of this to

him.

>> [music]

>> He's charming.

But he could also be strange and

violent.

Will you trust me?

>> [music]

>> Yes, I'll trust you.

>> I need a friend very badly now.

And I don't think fate could have

brought me a better one than you.

>> Thank you.

I won't let you down.

>> No one must see you.

Good night.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Sorry, but you were very impulsive.

Besides, it's not nice to hit a [ __ ]

>> Herrera,

would you mind telling me how you did

that?

>> Oh, just an old-fashioned hip throw.

>> Oh.

Well, what's up? Or did you just drop by

to give me a judo lesson?

>> I was coming to your hotel.

This afternoon the parents of a young

woman named Elena Muñoz reported her

missing. They returned from a trip late

last night and found her room had been

torn apart.

As in a violent fight. But there was no

blood.

Elena Muñoz. She works in the Via Club.

Of course, that was the girl who tried

to keep me from going into Calderon's

room. Was she in the club tonight? I

didn't see her.

Well, Miguel called me and said to tell

you right away.

He also said that if the body is found,

he's going to move in on Calderon no

matter where we stand.

I don't blame him. But tell him this.

I spoke to the dancer Serena tonight.

She seemed a little upset about

something.

She wants to talk to me tomorrow night

after Calderon leaves the club.

Now, I don't know what she's up to, but

I think it's worthwhile looking into.

We can't afford to jump the gun. We

don't have enough evidence.

But I want to give this guy enough rope

to hang himself. Then you're convinced

he's the one. In the meantime, have him

wait for a telephone call tomorrow

night. And when it comes to move, then

move fast. All right.

And remember to be careful.

How can I ever thank you for that

advice?

Oh, uh

Did you say there was a hip throw?

Uh-huh.

Uh

>> [music]

>> Oh, no, Weiss.

Not this time.

>> [music]

>> Are you all right?

I think so.

>> [sighs]

[gasps]

>> Just just a little embarrassed.

You're embarrassed?

Are you sure you're all right? I didn't

hurt you.

No.

And it's reassuring to know that you can

take care of yourself.

>> I'm great with women, but you should see

me with one-legged men.

What are you doing here anyway? I

thought I told you I didn't want you

getting into any dangerous situations,

and you never know what can come flying

through that window.

>> Well, I'm sorry.

It's just that I was so worried about

you. I I had to make sure you were all

right.

>> Okay. You see I'm all right. Now get

going.

>> No, I I had another reason for coming.

Miguel just received word from his

office.

The report from the police at Lima

stated that Calderon fled the country

after he was implicated in the death of

a plantation owner from whose factory

some young women had disappeared over a

period of 2 years.

>> What about the woman?

>> Her name is Serena Brioso. She's been

known to have lived with him for 2 or 3

years.

>> Anything else?

>> No, that's all.

Oh, yes. Um Miguel tried to contact

Herrera right away, but he couldn't find

him.

>> That's probably because he was with me.

By the way, does Miguel know you're here

tonight?

>> Well, uh I didn't have a chance to tell

him.

>> Great. Okay. Out.

>> Wait.

Uh since you're so worried about what

can come in through

that door,

well, the only thing that can come in

now

is moonlight.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> I say, old man, could I interest you in

a team sweater with the number of your

local mafia chapter embroidered on the

front?

>> [music]

>> No.

Well, then how about a slightly used but

official Sherlock Holmes decoding ring?

No, I guess not.

>> [music]

>> Well,

happy hunting.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Glad you came.

>> I'm always interested in a good story,

ma'am.

>> My life is in danger and so is yours.

>> Isn't that a bit dramatic?

>> You don't know.

Calderon is a maniac and he'll kill to

protect his secret.

>> Look, all I wanted was a simple story.

>> I know.

But you can still help me and now you

must help yourself, too, whether you

want to or not.

>> What do you mean by that?

>> I can't tell you anymore now.

Calderon has all his men watching and

recording everything.

He stays tonight in his usual way, but

his plans have been changed and he's to

be out of the club until tomorrow.

Can you meet me tonight an hour after

closing?

Luisa, come here.

While you're having a drink, one of the

hostesses can make your evening more

pleasant.

But don't stay too long.

That will create suspicion, too.

Luisa, this is Mr. Rourke.

>> Good evening, Mr. Rourke.

>> Uh good evening.

>> Well,

I can see Mr. Rourke is impressed with

you already.

>> [music]

>> That should make the evening

enjoyable for you both. Please remember

what we said.

>> Goodnight.

What are you doing here?

>> I told you I wanted to help.

>> And I told you that if you didn't

>> what you told me.

>> [music]

>> Sir,

but the extra pair of eyes isn't going

to hurt.

Besides, [music] there are two of my

girls and men who are also here watching

me. So, please don't worry.

>> Where are they?

>> They're out there.

And they're being a great deal more

subtle about it than you are right now.

Sir,

>> I don't want you here after tonight. Do

you understand that?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Now that you're here,

you didn't happen to notice anything

peculiar about Calderon, did you?

>> Well, I only met him for a few minutes

this afternoon.

>> [singing]

>> He hasn't been around at all tonight.

>> [music]

>> Maybe it's just my feminine curiosity,

but have you taken a look at those

armbands Serena wears?

>> Not really.

>> I've never seen anything like it before,

[music]

except once in a London museum when I

was studying design there.

>> [music]

>> I think they're

Aztec or perhaps Inca,

and very old.

>> Well, she's from South America. She

could have bought them down there.

>> Yes, [music]

but if they're genuine, they would have

cost a great deal of money.

It might be worth looking into.

>> [music]

>> Good idea.

>> And now, sir, I'll get you a drink.

Would something with rum please you?

>> Yes, something with rum.

>> Thank you, sir.

>> [screaming]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> You see, there is nothing to fear.

>> [music]

>> Don't worry.

We won't be caught.

We were stupid to leave the other bodies

where they could be found.

From now on, we will bury them here.

I will take care of the American writer

tonight.

Afterward, there will be no question, no

trace.

>> [music]

>> Thank you for waiting.

>> My pleasure, Serena.

>> May I offer you a drink?

>> Let me do that. What would you like?

>> The same as you, my cautious detective.

Of course I knew.

But knowing just [music] makes me feel

more relaxed, safe in your presence,

away from the city and Calderone.

>> Well, here's to a very beautiful and a

very perceptive lady. Now, perhaps if

you told me what was on your mind, we

could make you even more secure and

relaxed and do something about it.

>> Yes, but it's such a beautiful night

out. Couldn't we enjoy some of it while

we talk?

I don't suppose you've ever lived with a

maniac, have you?

>> No, not lately.

>> You must help me and it must be done

quickly.

>> That's why I'm here, Serena.

>> I met Calderone in South America, where

he was a wealthy plantation owner.

He courted me,

bought me expensive presents.

He took me on weekend trips to

beautiful, romantic places.

After I'd been living with him for a few

months, I found he was married.

He said he would kill me if I ever left

him.

When his wife found out about us and

threatened to divorce him, he killed

her.

Oh, he did it very cleverly.

And they never found the body, just

evidence of suicide. [music]

After playing the role of bereaved

husband for a while,

he sold the plantation and brought me

here, where he forces me to dance in his

club.

>> And what about Maria Cortez?

>> Yes, he did it.

>> That wasn't very clever, was it? The way

he left her body.

>> He was having an affair with her and

when she told him she was going to be

married,

he became some kind of fiend.

>> And I suppose you know about

Teresa's murder?

>> Yes, I know.

>> Why couldn't you have gone to the police

as easily as you came to me?

>> Because they have been more stupid than

you.

>> [music]

>> And that new girl at the club,

the one you obviously know very [music]

well,

wouldn't you be interested to know what

could happen to her?

In all your cleverness,

you forgot to consider the possibility

that I have an immunity to the drug I

put in all the bottles.

>> So, that's how you did it.

>> Not me, but a loyal servant.

In the ancient culture of my people,

not my ancestors, my people,

a form of human sacrifice was made to

appease the sun god.

But, your historians have been

inaccurate in recording the reason why.

One was for a form of criminal

punishment, similar to the method used

in your present society.

But, the other?

That had to do with the true meaning of

prolonged life.

And what could be more simple than

effective

than life's blood taken in one woman to

sustain the beauty of another.

A combination [clears throat] of that

blood,

electrical energy from the sun harnessed

in a small container,

and a powder ground from the roots of

trees that live to be hundreds of years

old. That is what gives continually

renewed life to those of us that were

chosen as golden goddesses.

But to ensure that we would never be

subject to the damaging effects of a

normal life, short-span blood was first

drained from our bodies.

And any person that dared interfere

was deemed to be a criminal. And you

have dared.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> I'm Antonio Muñoz, Lina's father.

I wanted to help the policeman in my own

way, but I'm not very good at following

people.

>> You did all right. Let's go.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Hey, in there.

Open up.

Anybody home?

Wash, can I use your phone?

Why? There's a killer loose. A homicidal

maniac with delusions of ancient

history. Now, can I use your phone?

No. You're right in there. Thanks.

Thanks, son.

He breaks in and runs a man's

Better he should steal my blood.

[music]

[music]

>> No, BREAK IT IN.

THE BUILDING, QUICKLY.

there are no more words except that you

>> Thank you, Miguel.

>> Before you leave,

I have a gift for you.

>> I wonder where he is.

Ah.

>> Sorry I'm late.

>> Here he is. I hope you like it.

>> Hardy?

But I thought I had him in here.

>> Adam, our last piece of undercover work.

>> Since you took so much punishment while

you were here, we thought that one of

you should return in good shape

>> so that you would not think of us as

being inhospitable.

>> Oh, never inhospitable, but sometimes

slightly unco.

>> Well, I'll buy you a pack of cigarettes.

>> But I smoke cigars.

>> Today you smoke cigarettes.

>> Will you be back soon?
