I've missed you

Waiter, a table! - Just a second

Harry, what's going on?

Harry!

Dorothy!

Harry...

Most natural thing in the world, leaving the womb to face...

...reality. And what do you do? Relive the facts and suffer?

No way.

Yes, it's terrible. What time is it?

Time to go. What are you going to do?

Get myself back into harness I need to think of something else

Good idea. Of course you don't want to over do it.

Not right away, anyway Do you have that prescription?

Right next to my heart

Don't be afraid to use it. Things are apt to feel a bit strange...

...at first but don't panic

I just need to work

So, all set, are you ready?

No, but, what else can I do?

Remember, easy does it

our mind is a delicate weave Some of the threads happened...

...to be a bit overstretched Try not to put too much...

...pressure. Give them some time

Attention, please! Step back

This train will not stop here This is not a stop

the train to New York City will be arriving in two minutes

Again, step back

- Careful!

You didn't expect this! Tell me, who sends you?

I'm Robert Natchez, I live at 81 Serviton Center...

...I work in a bank - What is it? Are you nuts?

Who are you? Who sent you?

He told you the truth! Let him go! He wasn't within two meters

he couldn't push you. Nobody tried to push you

you stumbled - Attention! The train 308 to New York...

---City is pulling in!

- He should be behind bars

Wait until the train comes to a halt! It has all the stops from here...

...to New York! I repeat, the train to New York!

Excuse me, what lipstick do you think is appropriated for a young girl?

Lipstick? Let me suggest a popular choice

All right

Sunset Rose It's very in

I like it

Should I gift wrap it?

Good idea

if you are not going to call, get away

No, no, but he could be wrong, anybody could make a mistake

I'm sorry sir. You asked for Sunset Rose and that's what I got

Excuse me, as I was saying your skin is very pale...

...and this is a good base for you It's a peach tone

Peach, yes, peach

Good morning Adrian, how are you?

Hello Harry Eckart will get mad

Let him get mad. Why don't I an assignment?

Maybe There was nothing available or they weren't expecting you

Oh!

Harry, Harry, how are you?

You can imagine. Harry feels really bad

I'm sorry about Dorothy's death, listen...

I just want to know if there is something I don't know about

I don't think so

Why are they follow me and they tried to kill me at the station?

I meet you and this is what I get it might be a joke but...

it's not funny

Cynthia! My sister, a friend, Harry

How do you do?

You'll get a call telling you where to get a gift

Of course, sugar

Harry you'll have to excuse us, but it's getting late and...

Adrian

I want to get to the end

You should think about it Harry Take care. Let's go

Who's that?

I told you, an old friend

Where do you come from?

Just a moment! Thank God you're here

I couldn't imagine what happened to you I'm going to loose my job today

The washer is in the kitchen maybe you can do something with it

it dries when it's supposed to wash and it washes when it's supposed to dry

It's a disaster

Last time I got it fixed they told me to get rid of it

Who are you?

Don't you know? You're a well-known actress

What are you and your animals doing here?

That's what I want to know.

Leave right now or I'll call the police

You didn't answer my question

I don't have time. I have to be at the Museum in twenty minutes

I don't want to sep you here

Sorry cat

Wait. I'm Ellie Fabian, you can check that at the graduated...

...School of Princeton. I arranged everything to rent...

...this house I paid a deposit plus security

I wrote a check to Mr. and Ms. Hannan

Harry Hannan

So, you are...

I hope you don't mind

Do you mind if I move a few things?

No, it's all right

Don't get mad at me. I know it's distressing to come home...

...and find someone else's effects strewn all over

It's rather like a dog lifting its leg on your territory, in this...

...case an apartment I wouldn't like it myself

It's much more than distressing It's the worse

Look, it's very simple. My firm owns this apartment and...

...when we're away they sublease it Somebody made a mistake

I'll fix it right away

Listen, I have the key and two receipts, I'm not going to run around...

...from here to there. Besides, how do I know you are Mr. Hannan?

Sometimes you have to remind it who's the boss. Are you convinced?

I'll get everything straightened out I promise

They said you would be gone indefinitely

No, they didn't say that

They certainly did

They said temporary leave

Indefinite is the right word

Before I forget, I found this on the floor

I don't read Greek

It's not Greek, it's Hebrew

What's it say?

I don't read Hebrew I just know what it looks like. That's a Greek...

...gamma. And that's omega the difference is...

Okay, okay, that's ridiculous Who left this?

I told you I found it on the floor!

Don't take out your temper on me! Where is Ms. Hannan?

My wife is dead

Harry, this is very embarrassing Why do you say that somebody...

...tried to shove you off a train? Did you see who it was?

No? Was there a witness?

No? Then you half hint we were behind it

Somebody pushed me

We didn't even know you were getting out

Getting out? Shouldn't you say coming back?

It's a way of saying it Harry, you should rest...

Don't be so understanding you supercilious son of a bitch

Subletting my apartment, sending me blank assignments...

I'm ready to go back, I've been away for a couple of months...

Harry, more than three months

Two

116 days. You didn't even notice it

Eckart, I need work

You had a breakdown You were in a sanitarium

Depression is something serious Don't make me say this

Do you want me to tell you that one of our people tried to push you?

Okay? Look, think whatever you want...

...but we have nothing to do with it That's not my style

Hannan, forget about this

We'll be in touch

Thanks

Quiet, please, quiet

I don't want any fighting among the boys. Come on.

This is very serious Come on

It's interesting

Interesting?

I don't get many requests like this Mr...¿Hannan?

Does your friend know the sender?

No, he's never seen anything like it before

I'm not surprised. Tell me, this friend of yours, is he Jewish?

You embarrass me I've never asked him

He works for the Government, ...agriculture

I would say that he's a victim of a practical joke

That's biblical Hebrew, Aramaic actually. Goel HaDam!

And what is it, a message?

It's a person, a very special person Goel avenger, HaDam of blood

These other letters, the Z and the M I can't do anything with

They could be the initials of the so called avenger

They could be anything As for the rest...

...I suppose it's some sort of a death threat

An avenger?

Listen, the elders of the city shall send and fetch him thence...

and deliver him into the avenger's hand of blood and he must die

What's that from?

Deuteronomy, chapter 19, verse 12

We're talking about the time of the first temple

2.500 years ago. Your friend has nothing to worry about

He'll feel relieved to hear that Thanks very much for your time, Rabbi

if I come across anything else Where can I reach you?

I'm in the book

Sam, I'm Josh Drexel - What's up?

- I have to see you, I have news

Please go

We have to talk

Not now, I'm working

What's that?

It's a filter for brain residues

is this what you do?

You have the wrong idea about me How did you find me?

You're an anthropologist, physician and sociologist

You study hookers in New York

Hookers

You're also intelligent and don't take care of yourself but you're not...

...stupid and don't work for any company if you don't feel safe

You shouldn't take credit. You left your life laid out in my apartment

Clothes, museum pass, everything but the results of your last urine test

I'll send it to you. You're so rude

Yes, I admit it. Here

What's that?

It's for a hotel I want you out before dark

Why?

Just go Somebody is trying to kill me

if it's not enough, just give me an address and I'll send you...

...I'll send you, I'll send you

Careful with that liquid!

I'm sorry about what happened

Don't worry about them Are you all right?

Yes, I'm Okay Leave before dark

David, are you looking for me?

Hello Harry

I asked you a question

What do you think?

You've been after me all day Let's get it over with

Get over with what?

You should know it

I can't stop thinking about my sister

You know it wasn't my fault

She had no business being there You risked her life

You took her along as cover

You're wrong like always

I told her not to marry you You're careless and one day...

Dave!

Harry...

Keep calm down. Eckert wanted me to check you out...

...to see if you're ready to go back and no doubt you are

You can't blame me for thinking that you were

if I wanted you dead, do you think I would have let them see me?

You'd be lying there with my sister and the rest of the Hannan!

Good bye Harry

Kill him

No, wait, let me explain it! Don't shoot!

I'll blow your goddamn brains out!

I can't breathe!

What are you doing sitting in the dark?

I was scared! I didn't know what I was doing! I turned off the lights...

Why didn't you leave?

I paid the rent and I have a right to stay!

You've got no rights? Your life is in danger

I don't care! I'll defend my intimacy!

You gave me a horrible afternoon You came to the lab...

...and you told me about those threats, you were shaking...

...and you spilled that liquid What was all about?

I didn't know whether to go to the police or run

You should go to the police

To tell them that I'm receiving threatening notes in Hebrew?

Aramaic!

Whatever!

Would you take my advice? I have a friend that can help you

I've talked to a rabbi

Richard Peabody is not a rabbi He's at Princeton, he's a professor...

...and he teaches theology he's an expert in Hebrew

Richard masters Aramaic He could give you farther help...

...about that message I'll go to see him this weekend

Why don't you come with me?

Listen, I... I owe you an apology

The guy I thought was following me was my brother in law

and the message comes from a lunatic society that wants me to

...light a devotional candle Why don't you forget about it?

Are you rejecting my suggestion?

What do you want to do? Travel 100 kilometers to talk to a priest?...

What kind of game are you playing? What do you get with this?

Who said I get something? Do you think I like being here?

Obviously, we've made a mistake

Maybe you

I want you to know that I have an intense relationship with...

...somebody at Princeton I'm not interested in improvised...

...sexual adventures. I don't need to prey on men in trouble

I never meant that

But I know what you mean

is There something about me that looks so hungry?

Do you want to leave?

Do you want me to leave?

I'll take the sofa

Dorothy

Kiss me

careful!

Oh, My God!

Mister Hannan! Mister Hannan!

Dorothy?

No, It's me Ellie

Ellie, Ellie

You're soaking. Put this on

Ellie, Ellie, what is this?

What's happening to me?

Was Dorothy your wife?

yes, yes

What happened?

We were together in a restaurant near El Paso

I was waiting for a guy a witness that had to testify

Dorothy was in New York, she had a few days off

She called me to say that she was coming down and I didn't stop her

There was a guy playing the violin and few other people read...

...I kissed her. We were having coffee when that guy...

...I was meeting came in two days early...

...with some friends

he saw me. Dorothy was suspicious

his friends started to walk

it happened so fast I pushed Dorothy's chair...

...she screamed and then...

...the shooting stared it was like an explosion

and they left

I thought she was all right

Dorothy was looking at me. She just looked scared

I went over her and I put my arms around her

Oh Harry!, she said. Oh Harry!

There was blood all over my arm

Oh Harry! She said it over and over

She'd come down for a vacation

Do you want me to call a doctor?

No, no...

...I've got some pills

Harry! Harry!

Cyanide

When my father had died I had a depression. My doctor said...

...that I resented father dying leaving me

But it wasn't that, I loved him I went to leave with my grandmother

We were very close She had had the most amazing life

with all kind of experiences She'd done everything

That's where I think I get my wild streak

Yes, I'm serious. Sometimes I think I'm quite depraved

Then she became very ill and she changed completely

I used to wake up at night and I would hear her screaming in pain

I felt completely unhappy

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad

What?

You didn't hear a single thing I said

I heard every word I like your company

I don't even know why I told you all that. It's not even...

...one of my favorite stories. Harry?

I'm going to get some coffee. Do you want some?

Yes please

You don't have to bother for me

No, no, don't worry I'll be right back

And sugar

You got it

Sorry Father

Hello!

Hello. Richard Peabody, Harry Hannan

How do you do

I'm sorry to bother you

No, no, those words, Goel HaDam, I'm intrigued by your note

I'll leave the two of you alone I have an appointment

Will you stay for the party

You shouldn't miss it there is nothing quite like it

You win

Good, see you later

She did tell you she's involved with someone here, didn't she?

Words to that effect

You never know. I was against that move to New York because...

...Ellie is very vulnerable she needs protection and advice

is that your mission?

Yes, it is. Let's go to my office we'll see what I can do

Well, it's not very artistic Goel HaDam, avenger of the blood

I have to admit that, from the beginning I...

Just a moment, are there any more messages?

Didn't you know it?

I'm not the only one?

No, but your situation is different

You're the only one that is still alive

I don't know how these got to me, at conferences...

...or conclaves, scholars or clergymen had studied it...

...and discussed it. I didn't pay attention at first

Their purpose didn't seem reachable

Their purpose?

Well, their motive, death. Sit down

How many deaths?

Four, no five over the last two years. The first one...

...someone named Lucksig, Howard Lucksig, an executive from San Francisco

he was at some meeting in Los Angeles, they found him washed up...

...near a Hotel in Malibu apparently the victim of a bad cramp

His widow found a note through his effects three weeks later

And the second one?

Someone named Faucon, owner of a nursery in Denver, he died...

...in Mead's Lake. Suicide. He had terminal cancer. Days later...

...a note was found in his save box. Then someone named Morden...

...he sold construction materials in Rochester. A hit and run

Another named Meyers from Nashville A Heart attack in the pool

The last one was Monash, fell off a boat

No weapons were used?

No, no. Goel can only kill following the biblical forms...

...prescribed by the ancient court Sanhedrin

By fire, sword, stoning or strangulation, of course...

...There could be modern equivalents

Yes, the hit and run could be stoning

And strangulation could be something that affects respiration, drawing...

...in the water, pills...

Pills?

They could stop you from breathing

What am I doing? I don't know any of these guys! There is not relation

Somebody thinks you do, Mister Hannan

Monash, Meyers, Morden...

...Faucon, Lucksig, Hannan

I see you honor ed your word, I' glad

You look beautiful

it was worth it

What are these?

Hematites. Do you see the little flecks of red?

Oh yes!

There are from Eva. My grandmother

Richard wants me to dress up more, makeup and all that but I...

...only do it when I'm in a good mood

For what?

To have a drink

I forgot. You have a message

They'll be expecting you at the Tower Courtyard at three thirty tomorrow

Who?

I don't know. It's weird how they get to you through me.

My secretary took the message. Will you go?

Maybe

I hope your trip wasn't a waste

It's amazing, you're so different!

Richard

Well' you look beautiful

Maybe a little overdone for a graduate school party

Or is it only for the benefit of the New York delegation?

I don't want to be...

I'll go change

I have the feeling that Peabody is following us

It's possible

that's what he does, offends you and follows you

You've got the wrong impression Richard is like that.

He is brilliant. I should be flattered that he wants me

As an object?

Not at all. Please, lets make this clear. It's what I have...

...I'm happy

You can't be serious

I don't try to get men I don't do well with men...

...I make it difficult I'm like someone at her first dance

I'm terrified That's me and I can't help it

Ellie, I don't get it but when you take off your...

...costume, you're very attractive Are you aggressive or sweet?

Why don't you try to define yourself?

I have a conference tomorrow morning but I could go...

...with you at three thirty

It's not necessary

Will you at least be careful?

Sure

Promise?

I cross my heart

I like you a lot

You are very special

But right now... I'm not the right man for you

It's not your fault, it's me

Do you believe me?

Yes

Are you sure?

I guess I'm part of the show Will you be all right tomorrow?

Yes, I'll get a room

I hope to see you again in New York

I'll be There the day after tomorrow and I'll leave your apartment

Take your time

Would you mind taking care of the cat until I'm back?

No

The dry stuff?

The dry stuff

And fresh fish

Fresh fish

You are sweet

Don't make it difficult

Good night Harry

Richard!

You frighten me sometimes

I really like you

Come on!

Harry

It's your last chance That's it Harry

Dave!

You're becoming a problem Put that away!

Who are you?

Sam Urdell. The Committee told me to watch you after you saw the rabbi

But I'm not ready for this kind of bullshit

What Committee? What are you talking about?

You think every Committee has a big add in the New York Times?

It's just a Committee Five Jews get killed by a lunatic...

...and they've to have a Committee

Did you know him?

It's not that lunatic, it's not Goel When Monash was killed...

...that poor guy was in Europe This was left in Monash's cabin

Your name is on the back

What is this?

A luncheonette

This luncheonette... I never saw it before, what does it mean?

I don't know.. My people worked with the resistance in Berlin

And from 1947 they helped chase Eichmann, but all this makes..

...me confused. I can't fit the luncheonette in all this

Where is it?

In Glory Side. I went there and nobody knows anything

I'll keep checking it out

You'll get killed

Maybe

It's your life

Where could this place be? Where the hell is it?

Who knows

What are you going to do with that? Easy, please

You'll see now

Please don't make noise

You are nuts

Look. What is ZM?

ZM, ZM. That's the same thing that was on the note and on the tombstone!

What does it mean?

ZM, ZM. Yes, a Synagogue!

A house, of course!

Wait a minute

You haven't been her but I have

ZM. That's the Zvi Migdal. This was the prime whorehouse of the East Side

A whorehouse?

Don't be surprised. I lost my virginity here 50 years ago

Rabbi Jacobs?

Yes, may I help you?

I'm Sam Urdell and this is my friend Hannan

How do you do. Would you like to use the library?

Yes, please

Her it is

Sam, Sam! Max Hannan! Secretary of the whorehouse

Your grandfather was involved in all this

I didn't know he ran a whorehouse

One? Twenty or thirty at least Running a string of houses was a...

...big business. I knew several and everybody but priests...

...were involved. High executives, Whites, Hebrews, everybody

And Max Hannan

Maybe but their own community shuts them off. Who is going to sit in...

...a Synagogue next to a whoremaster? So they formed their own...

organization, everything was legal it was supposed to be like any...

...other mutual to help the members To maintain temples...

...cemeteries, etc. But the real object was to handle the law

run the houses and import the girls...

And to think that I used to sit on the lap of that old bastard

You got a weird sense of humor

White slavery are my roots!

You, men of Goel, think that the only important thing...

...is to be on the Times front page What about the private wars?

All the personal revenges that go on in the dark of somebody's head

It's okay, Sam, it's okay

Morden, Monash, Lucksig, Meyers, are enough... Do they sound familiar?

All right, you win

I thought something had happened to you

Listen Eva...

...you are a great girl, but I'm not feeling very well

What a messy man!

It's not that. It's getting late My wife must be worried

I think we spent too long in the bar. I shouldn't stay

Listen Bernie, I'm an expert

I'll get you ready if you want me to

But if I scare you...

Eva, I'll stay

I don't want this on my conscience

Calm down

Are you sure?

Do you know what I think?

That I'm making you do something you don't want to do

No. What are you saying?

Yes, you're just scared because of your wife

I want you

You won't regret it. Wait

Where are you going? Don't leave me now

Eva, where are you going?

I'm going to take a bath, just a second

But I, I... can't waste time

Come on beauty, lay down

Everything at the right time

Do you like it?

I love it

Don't you have enough with the earrings I got you?

No

No?

Don't move

Wait, I want on top

Be good

You won't complain

Delicious. Give me a kiss

Keep doing it, like this, keep doing it

Stop playing. You are going to drawn me

is there anybody here?

Where is the wonderful Ellie?

Compliments of the house

is this for me?

For you. And this

I'll put them in the luggage

What luggage?

Why all this?

I won't bother you anymore I'm leaving

Don't go

I made up my mind. I'm leaving

Why?

I'm afraid of what will happen if I stay

I'm not, I'll face whatever comes

I have to talk to Richard first

You better talk to me first

Listen. There was a time when you loved me. Why don't...

...we try it again?

I tried it

That was then. And now is now

What are you doing?

No please. Stop it

Please

No Harry

Let's get away

Where?

Does it matter?

No

Just Harry and Ellie

Yeah?

Harry it's me, Sam

What's wrong?

Does this name sound familiar? Meckler, from the Falls, Meckler

Meet me at rabbi Jacobs' tomorrow at nine. I have found...

...something interesting I'll be waiting. I'm afraid for you

Don't worry

Ellie, What's wrong?

The only clue police have found is a note in Aramaic and criptic style

It's easy to say it

it seems that police is looking for a whore with the initials ZM

That's all for now. The body is in the morgue and the investigation...

...goes on. I'm Gary Gunner, from the Niagara Falls

it looks like this Goel has knocked off a descendant of...

...the Macdowell family from...

Europe

You're a good guesser. This Meckler was from Boston. The chapter of...

...New England, where would it be?

Here we are. The Jews of New England

We had a request last month to borrow that particular volume

Could you tell us who?

Of course. The Firestone Library, Princeton University

Peabody!

Yes, we request it trough the 629 carrel

But There is nobody there!

Keep watching

Don't worry

Professor! Professor Peabody!

I need you to give me some information

"White slavery"

"The Jews from New England"

Hold on a minute!

I'm sorry

Ellie

627, 628

Hannan! Hannan!

Careful!

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for somebody

Who?

Are you Peabody?

Do I know you?

You know a friend of mine, Hannan

I see. I didn't know Hannan was in Princeton?

Cheers

Now is when I don't get it Hannan!

Harry, you scared me!

Did I? I'm sorry

is anything wrong?

No. Why don't you get dressed? It's time for our trip

Just Harry and Ellie?

Just Harry and Ellie

Aren't you going to answer the phone?

Dry off, We're wasting time

Please! Can you hear me? Operator, get me the police

Where are we going?

Surprise

is anything wrong?

Everything is fine

You look nervous

Tell me some more about Eva, your grandmother, your father's mom

Your great grandmother's daughter the one who gave you the earrings

The one you lived with when you were a little girl

I don't see anything unusual

so?

Not now Harry I don't want to distract you

What are you going to do?

I have to look my best

There is nobody here

You are

Harry! You went through a stop sign!

Did I?

What's wrong with you, Harry?

Does it look familiar? Look familiar?

Harry! Harry!

Stop!

My God, Harry, I love you!

You put this in the bottle, didn't you?

No, I love you

Me? I'm just another guy on the list

You came home to kill me You came looking for me

Just like Meckler, Monash and all the others

Don't you get it Harry? A poor young girl living in Europe...

...and a handsome stranger promises to marry her in...

...America where the streets are paved with gold, gives her a ticket...

...she gets to Ellis Island. Where's my boyfriend? Don't worry...

...those men will tell you where to go. She gets in a room and locks

Then she gets raped They raped her and raped her!

And they turn her into a whore! She was just fifteen!

But she remembered their names

You are a killer!

So was your grandfather but he is dead, who will punish him?

You want to punish him through me

I'm going to turn you in Ellie

Ellie!

That's all about the Hydroelectric Central

Please keep moving. There's a lot more to see this morning

To your left you can admire a painting that represents...

...the discovery of the Niagara Falls Don't take too long

Keep moving. Mister and Misses Roth don't stay back

Good, thanks. From here you can see the Falls

Stay with me, folks Let's catch up

Are we going to the Falls? - Yes, and I don't want to leave...

...anybody behind. Are we missing anybody? Good, let's go

Ellie! Ellie!

Hurry up, we are late - Is it true that Niagara Falls are...

...the tallest in the world?

Please, don't get close to the edge

It's very dangerous. Keep your distance

We are asking you not to get close to the edge

It's dangerous Keep your distance

- This is our stop, please get off Go to your left

There is a lot to see

Please. Do you have a quarter?

Don't do anything you shouldn't and we won't get in trouble

Eh! Where are you going? - Put on your raincoats and...

...the Falls are right there you can see them perfectly

Dumping millions and millions of gallons of water

I'm going to take you on a very treacherous trip

That's why we have to put on our raincoats

The Island divides the Niagara river in two. One is...

...320 meters high in the American side and the other side is 750 meters...

...in the Canadian side. In the first one the water falls from 54...

...meters and in the second one from 49, moving about...

...6.000 cubic meters per second

The origin of the Falls dates from the end of the Glacial Era

The Niagara River had to change its course and flow through...

...elevated areas. The difference in the erosion...

...formed a paddle of water of about 90 meters that...

...later got smaller. In 1678 the french Robert Cabellie and...

...Luis de Lepen got to the Niagara Falls.

Between two cities. Maritime traffic in the lakes gets interrupted by...

...the Falls and it's done thanks to an...

...artificial canal
