All language subtitles for What Have You Done to Solange (1972)

WHAT HAVE YOU DON E TO SOLANGE?

- Why not?
- I desire it, too, Enrico.

I desire it as much as you do.

But not in this way.

You love me, but you don't trust me.

- Right?
- No.

Soon I'll settle everything.

You'll see. It's only a question of time.

Elizabeth, I want you to be happy.

What was that?

Down there, on the shore, I saw somebody.

Jesus, Elizabeth,

who cares?

Nobody can see us.

I'm not a good lover
if you prefer watching the landscape.

I'm sorry.

I'll close my eyes and I won't think any more.

There! A knife!

I saw it! I saw it!

What did you see this time?

I get it. You could have made up
another excuse.

All because of the absurd education
you get in that damn school .

They teach you only stupid things.

You shouldn't have gone to that school .

There's always something
that stops you from being a normal girl .

Go ahead . step out.

Where is it? Did it disappear?

What kind of knife was it?
A dagger or a sword , maybe.

Archangel Gabriel has come to punish you
for your sins.

Stop!

You are mean sometimes.

OK, but I've had enough.

Stop crying and pull yourself together.

My uncle and the school
have nothing to do with it.

I saw a knife.

I really did see it. It wasn't a dream .

Take me home, please.

Morning news. 7:30.

The international commission of Euratom...

can't you just put some music on?

...in spite of the refusal of London...

where are you?

Local news.

This morning in London,
there has been a terrible homicide.

A fisherman, at dawn...

...alarmed the police,
who immediately went to the location,

but could only perform the first checks
on the homicide

because they could not identify the victim.

-sports news.
-why did you change the program?

Because.

- Did you at least hear what they said?
-of course I heard .

- Couldn't you be a bit less rude?
-of course.

Never disturb the family, right?

In five years
you haven't thought about anything else.

No, I feign respect, Enrico.

Yes, captain.
we are waiting for the ambulance.

The coroner has already arrived . Roger.

Back up, back up. You cannot stay here.

It seems she has been strangled .

- No, they used a knife.
- I saw her. she didn't have any wound .

At last, Professor Rosseni .
They are waiting for you .

Park the car, Bert.

In the principal's office. They are all there.
Including the police.

Now we are all here, Inspector.

All the second-year teachers.

They are all here, including the gym teacher.

And Italian.

You are an hour late, Mr Rosseni .
It's unacceptable.

A problem with the car.

I couldn't find a taxi ,
and I had to wait till they fixed it.

Inspector Barth, from Scotland Yard .

N ice to meet you all .

- Let's not waste time.
- Please.

- Please, take a look at these photos.
- Professor Newton, German and history.

Father webber, chemistry and sciences.

Please, take a careful look.

Professor Joseph Kane,
history and philosophy.

Professor Herta Rosseni , mathematics.

It is a necessary formality.

Professor Enrico Rosseni ,
who I just introduced to you .

But this is. . . oh, my God !

- This is Hilda Erickson!
- Yes.

- Who did this?
-we still don't know.

We found out her identity
because her parents reported her missing.

Now I have to inform them
that she has been found .

I thank you all . If I need you , I'll let you know.

- Goodbye, Mr Leach.
- Goodbye, Inspector.

You are Italian, right?

- Does that change anything?
- No, nothing at all .

My husband has been living in London
for many years, Inspector.

I know, I know.

Goodbye, Professor.

Mr Rosseni , your pupils are waiting for you .
Tell them what has happened .

I ask you to inform them because, for once,

your friendly relationship with the girls
can be useful .

But please do it in a tactful manner
and without details.

Over you go! Jump!

Girls, this is not a dance school .

Rest and listen to me.

Unfortunately, I have bad news for you .

You probably have noticed that today
Hilda Erickson is not at school .

Something really bad has happened .

- There has been a tragedy.
- Is she dead?

Janet, calm down.

Janet.

- When did it happen?
- Yesterday afternoon, I think.

I knew it.

- I knew that H Gilda had been killed .
- Exactly.

How did you know, Brenda?

Last night her mother called me
to ask if Hilda was at my place.

She was very worried
because Hilda had never been so late.

I understand .

- What did they do to her?
- I have no idea, susan.

Excuse me, Rosseni .

I thought my presence here could be useful .

You , girls, come to church with me.

Sorry, but I can only stay 10 minutes.

I have to go back to school .

I presume you know about Hilda's death.

- When did it happen?
- Yesterday afternoon.

In the woods, along the river.

Elizabeth, what can you tell me exactly?
Did you see the killer?

No, he was just a shadow.

It was a dark shadow, and it moved .

I don't know. I don't know how to explain.

I am sure it was a man,
but there was something...

-strange.
-strange? How strange?

I don't know. I can't remember.

Maybe I should tell the police.

Listen to me. we can't always do
what we would like to do.

sorry. Darling, don't you understand?

We were together.

You must realise what the reality is.

It will take time to prepare Herta, to make her
understand that I'm in love with you .

And imagine the scandal at school .

You are in your last year,
you must realise that.

You are right.

Especially about your wife.

Where were you this morning?

Herta, don't start with the interrogations.

Very well . You don't even try any more
to keep up appearances.

You are tired of me and cannot hide it.

But you know you can't lie,
that I can read it on your face.

That stupid ridiculous lie
about the car problem .

It wasn't ridiculous, and it wasn't a lie.

Will you please leave me alone?

Why are you looking at me?

What made you go and look?

Just curiosity. I told you .

So, suddenly, you just went.

What time was it?

I left home at 8:00.
Maybe 10 minutes later, no earlier.

And at 8:30 you were already there.

Twenty minutes.

Is something wrong?

No, I wonder how you could find

such a faraway place on the shore
of the Thames in only 20 minutes.

I heard the news. Don't you remember?

Of course.

At dawn, a fisherman
found the body of a girl in the woods

along the right shore of the Thames.

The man called the police,

who immediately went to the location,
but could only perform the first checks

on the homicide because
they could not identify the victim .

It is extraordinary that you arrived so early.

It could have been in the northern part
of the city or in the south.

I wasn't the only one.
There were dozens of people.

- Don't you think it's strange?
- They were passers-by,

attracted by the police.

Are you saying that the killer always
goes back to the crime scene,

- Inspector?
- No.

But you are hiding something.
And I don't like it.

At what time was the girl killed?

The newspapers say they are still waiting
for the coroner's opinion.

I'm telling you . Between 5:00 and 5:30 pm .
yesterday afternoon.

Right before the sunset.

Where were you at that time, Mr Rosseni?

- In my car, driving through the city.
- Alone?

Alone.

I had an argument with my wife
and I wanted to calm down.

I understand .

- You can go, Professor Rosseni .
-well ...

- Are you done?
- Yes.

But you can come back whenever you want.

Hilda Erickson was one of your pupils.

She decided to study Italian
instead of French

because you were the young,
attractive and tolerant professor,

always criticising the old system .

But now Hilda is dead .

Yes, she is dead , Mr Rosseni ,

and I don't think this is what bothers you .

You are thinking about something else.

Did she suffer when they took her life?

For a long time.
The killer mortally wounded her.

The agony lasted an hour.
And one hour is a long time.

Well , how are things going?

Here, Inspector.
These are the most recent prints.

We decided that they were left
yesterday afternoon.

This is a footprint of the victim .

Very well .

And this?

It was on the grass
at about 100 metres from the body.

- I'll send it to the lab for prints.
- Good .

- Where did you find the pin?
-on the victim's dress.

They're here, Inspector.

Yes, I'm coming. Are the x-rays ready?

- They are drying.
- I understand . Go ahead .

Why can't we see our daughter's body?

I am Inspector Barth. Please, take a seat.

Mrs Erickson.
I am in charge of the investigation.

I will take you to see your daughter
at the right time. And you write.

Mr Erickson, you perfectly understand

that I must know everything,

even what seems irrelevant
and without importance to you .

Let's start.

Let's start from yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday, it was sunday.

Please, try to remember
how you spent the day, calmly.

We didn't go out in the afternoon.

We went
to church in the morning with Hilda and ...

she went to confess, poor darling,

and took the Holy communion.

Of course. You were saying something
about the afternoon.

Yes, we stayed home
and watched the cricket game on TV.

We wondered why Hilda was not back yet.

It was the first time she was so late.

At what time did you start worrying?

Around 7:00, 8:00 pm .

First we called some of her school friends,

but they hadn't seen her.

This means that Hilda didn't go out
with them .

Did you have any doubts, Mr Erickson?

Did you believe what they told you?

I don't understand these girls.

Your daughter wasn't a little girl any more.
Maybe she had a boyfriend .

She would have told me. Don't you think?

Yes.

OK, I don't want to insist.

Please, excuse me.

There is one thing
I have to ask you , Mr Barth.

Was Hilda...

Raped?

Miss Borman.

In a certain way, yes, Mr Erickson.
Please, follow me.

Be strong, Mr Erickson.

The killer left the knife there.

Yes, Father.

- Alone?
- No. There were other girls.

Yes, Father,

but I didn't care.

No.

There was someone else.

Yes.

I'll get it, U ncle.

Hello?

Oh, it's you .

It's for me.

I have got a surprise for you .

How come you're not interested?
I haven't seen you in over a week.

What do you want now?

- Who are you talking to?
- Nobody. I am alone.

Where? You have to guess it.

Let's see if you can.

The keys. I almost left them
in my pocket. I'll leave them here.

Why are you behaving like this? Elizabeth...

No, really. I want to see you , darling.

There are some flowers.
I'll take care of them .

Yes, thanks.

Who are you talking to?

I cannot tell you . It's part of the surprise.

- If you need anything, I'll be next door.
- Yes, yes. OK.

No, no, no.

Let's see if female intuition works.
Just wait a second .

- Do you like it?
- You scoundrel !

Tell me where you are. Go ahead .
I cannot stay on the phone forever.

8 Evelyn Gardens, fifth floor,
the door next to the lift.

- Are you going out?
- Yes, I'm going to Deborah's to study.

- Was it Deborah on the phone?
- Yes.

Bye, colonel .

Liz, don't be late.

Yes, of course,
but I am not Little Red Riding Hood .

- I know, but after what happened . . .
- Don't worry.

I am not like Hilda.
And I don't go along the river.

Bye.

Wow, this means you love me a bit.

You are so stupid ...

-close your eyes. come.
-why?

Let's go.

- What has my princess got to say?
- Now I understand .

It's a trap. My favourite flowers.
My favourite music.

Please. This will be our shelter till ...

- It must be a mistake.
-why don't you answer?

Hello?

Hello? Hello? Hello?

see? They hung up. I told you .

- It's a mistake. Do you want to see the rest?
- Yes.

This is the kitchen. well , a small kitchen.

The bathroom is fantastic.

How beautiful .

But is this all?

And where do you make love?
In the bathtub?

You are an amazing girl .

The knife, Enrico!

It's as if it's hitting me!

They will never learn to write decent Italian.

Even your Goethe preferred Italian.

Just an example. we say "palm" of the hand ,

you say "plate" of the hand .

Schiller was right,

Italian is the language of angels.

While German is as harsh and hard as I am .

Of course, you need soft things,

tender things and above all , new.

Herta, please.

I'm trying to help you , Enrico.

I've had the feeling you want to
tell me something for a while.

You circle around it like a vulture,

but you never find the courage to talk.

Not even with the sweetness
of your beautiful language.

What was there
between you and Hilda Erickson?

Why did you run to see the body?
Did you also go to bed with her?

You are crazy!
How can you say such a thing?

You must be much more convincing
for me to believe you , Enrico.

Please, come in.

- Mr Barth.
- Good evening.

- Just in time for a drink. Please, Inspector.
- Thanks.

- A J&B? How do you like it?
- Ice and soda, if you don't mind .

I have given you a week, Professor.

But you disappointed me, you know?
This is why I'm taking the initiative.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you about my visit.

OK. I'd like to take stock of the situation.

Sorry, do you have a pen?

- In the other room , darling.
- No, there it is.

Yours, on your table.

Thanks.

I'd like to ask you a few questions,
Mr Rosseni .

- Well , I'll leave you two alone.
- Thanks, it's very kind of you .

We found one exactly like this one

at the crime scene.

- Left by the killer?
-or by a witness.

OK. I know something about that pen.

And I'll tell you only if you promise
that it will stay between us.

I did not see anything
that afternoon along the shore,

but the person who was with me
says there was someone among the trees.

It was a particular moment,
and that is why I didn't want to believe her.

A knife! I saw it!

I saw it!

I thought it was another excuse.

That's why when I heard about it
on the radio,

I ran down there like an idiot.

That is all , believe me.

- Elizabeth seccles?
- Exactly.

Colonel Douglas seccles' niece.

You do know I will have to interrogate her?

I will be discreet, but if what she tells me

can lead us to the discovery of the killer,
the story will become public, sorry.

Elizabeth saw only shadows
and the reflection of a blade.

How can any of this help?

It can help us

to have more problems.

For you and for me.

- Good evening, sir.
- Bye, have fun.

- Yes?
- Mr Bryant?

- No, sorry, my uncle is not here.
- It's you, Janet.

- Yes, I'm Janet.
- Good evening, Janet.

sorry, I'm Helen's father.

Oh, Mr Edmonds, sorry.
I didn't recognise your voice.

Janet, Helen would like to know
if you can lend her the Italian handbook.

she cannot find hers, and tomorrow morning
she has an oral test.

I'm not far from your house.
If you could be so kind as to bring it to me.

Yes, right away.

But you are...

Hello?

But. . . Now? Immediately?

All right. I'm coming.

It is not necessary, Enrico.
Don't say anything.

Enrico! oh, Enrico, Enrico!

Calm down, darling. I am here.

Tell me what the problem is.

Oh, Enrico.
It was that horrible nightmare again.

But this time it was clearer.

Now I know who was chasing Hilda
in the woods.

I told you there was something strange.

Now I remember.

It's clear. Yes, Enrico. He had on a kind of...

A kind of black dress, like a priest.

Mrs Holden.

The dog barked all night long,

but that beast always does that.

This morning I was going
to the vegetable garden and I tripped on her.

Why here? why here, at my place?

Do you know
that Janet was killed last night?

What?

- Professor?
- Yes? what is it?

I'm sorry, Professor.
I have to talk to you for a moment.

- Sure, go ahead .
- I know something about Hilda's death.

I'm not absolutely sure,
but it's something about Hilda's death.

Come. come with me.

This second tragic episode can throw

a very negative light on the school .

Professor Bascombe,
what is Miss seccles doing here?

Elizabeth seccles just told me something
that everybody should know.

Please, allow me, Mr Leach.

- Go ahead .
- Don't be afraid .

Tell them what you told me.

Well ...

Mr Leach.

That afternoon,
the sunday when Hilda got killed ,

I was there.

Actually, I was on a boat on the river,

and I saw it.

What did you see that was so interesting?

The killer chasing Hilda.
And when he killed her.

And you waited till another girl got killed
before telling us?

I didn't know.
Professor Bascombe just told me.

Certainly.

This is true.
Elizabeth had already told me everything,

but now go ahead , tell the rest.

In the beginning, everything was confused .

I hadn't realised ,

but afterwards, on second thought...

Yes, go ahead .

Now I'm sure that the killer

was wearing a long black dress.

You mean a priest.

Yes.

And what were you doing on the boat?
were you fishing?

No, Mr Newton. I was with a boy.

Exactly what I thought.

There is nothing wrong, Elizabeth.

- But probably your boyfriend could help us. . .
- No.

No, he didn't see a thing.

He had his back to the woods.
And he didn't even believe me when I said it.

Elizabeth, did you see
the face of this priest?

Could you recognise him?

I don't know.

I'm not sure.

Maybe, if I saw him again...

Thanks for not betraying me.

I'll see you in the afternoon
before going to the police station.

All right.

- Bye.
- Bye.

You should be more cautious, Enrico.
Anyway, don't worry.

Probably I'm the only one who knows.

But neither of you is good at lying.

- You certainly disapprove of it.
-of course.

But I can also understand . I immediately
guessed who the boy was on the boat.

I already told Inspector Barth everything
last night.

- And your wife?
- No, not yet.

Sure, Professor, thanks.

Thanks. Thanks for your understanding.

Enrico, darling. I am here.

Poor girl . Take another picture.

- Give me the roll .
- Gather the garments.

Be careful .

Don't touch anything.

At what time did you say you arrived?

Around 4:00 pm .

Did you have an appointment with Elizabeth
at that time?

No.

Elizabeth said only that
she would come here in the afternoon.

She had her key.

- When did you leave school? At 1 :00 pm .?
- Yes, sure.

And I went home.
I wanted to talk with my wife.

I understand .

- And did you do it?
- No.

Inspector.

She was assaulted
when she was in the bathtub.

She tried to defend herself.
There are many bruises on the neck.

The towel avoided leaving
the prints of the killer.

She drowned . she wasn't strangled .

We found some hair under her nails.
They don't belong to the victim .

I suppose they belong to the killer.

I sent them to the lab.

- Was she raped?
- I don't think so.

But we'll be certain after the autopsy.

We can go.

Here he is! Here he comes!

Sorry, but I have nothing to say.
Let me through.

- Please.
- Is it true Rosseni had a liaison with the...

- No comment.
- The colonel's car is coming!

Please, tell us something, Inspector.

To the police station, if you don't mind .

You shouldn't have come here, colonel .

Will you tell me when I can see my niece?

Tomorrow. Now it is not possible.

Have you arrested the killer?

Who? You mean Rosseni .

No, we are not sure yet.

I'm certain that he is guilty.

Mr Bryant, I'm really sorry for your loss,

and I speak for all the professors.

Thanks, but your solidarity is useless
at this point.

I still haven't seen poor Janet's body.

They're only thinking about this new murder.

The inspector has disappeared ,
and I have been waiting hours.

It is clear that colonel seccles
has more influence than I do.

It's already 1 :00 pm .
I should be travelling by now.

Go away, then. Go.

I don't need to interrogate you any more.

Of course!

Interrogate them .

Three of their pupils have been killed
in two weeks

and they still have not understood
that there is a sexual offender in the school .

Wait till you read the newspapers tomorrow.

- What do you want?
-we need a sample of your hair.

Sorry, colonel seccles,
but I don't see any use

in a confrontation between you and Rosseni .

You have got no proof of his guilt.

A married teacher who seduces a minor.

- For me, it is more than enough.
- Not for an accusation of homicide.

Then make him confess.
I'm sure you have all the means.

You are upset, colonel . It is understandable.

Someone will accompany you to your car.

Thanks. It is not necessary.

Inspector.

Where is Enrico? can I see him , Inspector?

Not at the moment. Be patient.

You are wasting time.
Enrico cannot have killed that girl .

He is not a killer
and he is not a sexual offender.

In any case, we have to do all the research.

Sorry, but I am very busy now.

I know nothing about the connection
between Mr Rosseni , Miss seccles

and the other two girls.

Nobody said there was a connection
between him and the other two girls.

No? It seemed pretty clear.

I understand .

Mr Leach,

do these two green pins
mean anything to you?

No.

Elizabeth? A wonderful girl in every way.

I refuse to think she was a whore.

If she was with Enrico,
she must have loved him .

She was earnest and sensitive.

I can't imagine somebody would hate her
so much as to kill her.

And as for Enrico, I wouldn't believe it
even if I saw it with my own eyes.

I never liked that Italian.

I had the feeling that
something like this was in the air.

Really ignoble.

Have you ever seen this?

Is it a guessing game?

It's one of the keys to Elizabeth's apartment.

Rosseni says
that someone stole his yesterday.

Between 10:00 am . and 11 :30 am .
In the changing room .

Do you think I stole it?

Enrico is young
and his wife is a harsh woman.

A woman with strict principles.

It's not surprising
that he looked for some distraction.

You are a good psychologist, Mr Bascombe.

Do you think Rosseni is attracted
to very young girls?

No, I actually don't know much
about these things,

but today an 18-year-old girl
is not a kid any more.

Even if it would be better if she were.

But besides morality,

why would Enrico have killed her?
we all know what she saw.

She had told us in the principal's office.

What did she know?

That she witnessed the killing of Hilda.

Yes, yes. But what did she say
in the principal's office?

She talked about a feeling she had
after having second thoughts...

But what did she say?

That Hilda's killer was wearing
a long black dress.

In other words, he was a priest.

What is this story about a priest?

Elizabeth's idea.

She was having nightmares about the killing.

She kept experiencing it, like an obsession.

- Then she remembered the priest.
-when did she tell you?

She called me up one night.
The nightmare had woken her up.

- She could see that detail clearly.
-which night?

The day before yesterday.
The night Janet Bryant was killed .

A bit more patience, please.

Where is Griggs?
He should have been here 10 minutes ago.

Go get him . Right away!

The results of the autopsy and the hair test.

The hair under the victim's nails
doesn't belong to Rosseni . It's dead hair.

- Dead hair?
- Yes.

And about the autopsy, you won't believe it.

The girl not only has not been raped ,
but she was still a virgin.

- Elizabeth still a virgin?
- Exactly.

When those professors know,
I'm sure they'll make her a saint.

Perhaps.

The inspector
wants to interrogate you again.

- Get dressed .
- Damn. I knew it was going to end like this.

Now open your eyes.

What was it? catholic? Protestant?
Jesuit? Dominican?

- Speak up!
-stop it! stop it!

First you say I'm an impostor,
and then you want me to tell you the order.

The priests are all black! Black!

You must have seen something else!

Yes, yes. I don't know.

Maybe he had a beard . Yes, a beard .

Call Draper.

- He is on the line, Inspector.
- Thanks.

Draper, listen. That hair under the nails.

- Could it be facial hair?
- Yes.

But a fake beard with dead hair.

Yes, thanks.

Keep him a bit longer.

Look closer, friend .

No, no, no!

Father webber?

Father!

Praise be Jesus christ.

Yes, of course.

Sorry, have you ever seen
a priest with a beard

around school or in the church next to it?

What? I don't think so.

-why?
- Nothing.

You can go, Reverend ,
and take him with you . Thanks.

Bastards!

Where can I find a taxi at this time?

Damn all priests!
I wish I had never met that one!

And they say one shouldn't be superstitious!
oh, God ! Here he is!

Stop it! stop it!

Yesterday afternoon, your husband
arrived late to the appointment

with Elizabeth because he wanted
to talk to you but didn't. why?

I suppose I haven't encouraged him .

I didn't want to know.

No, you knew it already. Perfectly.

- And you went out before him , right?
- Yes.

- To go where?
-why do you want to know, Inspector?

Your husband didn't kill anybody.
I'll release him in a little while.

Can I go?

One last thing, Mrs Rosseni .

That girl , Elizabeth,

was still a virgin.

This is from Mr Leach, the principal ,
and this one.

All your things are inside.
Do you want to check?

Not now, thanks. You can go.

what did you expect from the principal?
congratulations?

Enrico, you are not even suspected
of killing her. And it is not your fault.

Take a shower and get some rest.
we'll talk later, OK?

It's been too long since we've talked .

If we go on like this,
we'll end up not understanding each other.

You talked to Elizabeth, right?

Yesterday morning, in the courtyard .
I saw you with her.

I wanted to tell her something, but. . .
I didn't have the courage.

So I told her to study more at home.

We don't need to say anything, Herta.
we know each other too well .

We have only been apart for a while.

Are you saying we can go on?

I must find out who killed her.
Do you understand that?

I want to know, too, Enrico.
I'll help you as much as I can.

You know already
about Elizabeth seccles' death

that happened yesterday afternoon.

Classes must continue as before.

We all want our lives not to be upset.

However, it wouldn't be natural
not to talk about it.

Has Elizabeth been killed by the same killer
as Hilda and Janet?

In the same way?

This morning, my mother forbid me
to read the newspaper.

I have read it. Is it true...

Is it true that Professor Rosseni
has been arrested?

Just a moment.

First I would like to ask you a few questions.

- May I?
-stand up.

Excuse me.

Just a couple of words with these girls.

I'd like to know from you
if you have seen, in the last few weeks,

a priest with a beard .

At school , in church or...

- And?
- Yes, in church.

- He is a new confessor.
- How new?

Another one.

Not Father webber.
He comes once in a while.

- How many times?
- Two or three.

I understand .
some of you have been confessed

by this new priest with a beard?

Girls, there is nothing funny
about confession.

Who went to the new priest?

- I did , Professor.
-what did you tell him?

Sorry.

Tell me,

was Hilda also confessed
by this priest with a beard?

I don't know about Hilda,
but Janet, yes, for sure.

I remember because
it was during Hilda's funeral .

We both had the communion.

Yes, I understand .

I thank you all . And you , too.

Goodbye.

You were a close friend
to Hilda and Janet, right?

- No, not more than the others.
- It's not true.

You were a closed group. You , Hilda, Janet...

- And also Helen.
- Mind your own business.

Girls, what's wrong with being friends?

Why do you try to hide it? we want to know
more about Hilda and Janet.

Wouldn't you want to know who killed them?

Elizabeth was also close to Janet.
You know it, right?

You are the only ones
who can help the authorities,

because only you knew them well .

If you could only tell us
about their friends outside the school ,

which boys they were going out with.

Yes, you were right.

Hilda, Janet, Brenda and Helen
are part of a very closed group.

- Did you discover something?
- Not much.

Brenda is smart as a witch.

But I think that Helen is a bit scared .

- Scared? why?
- I don't know.

Anyway, I did discover something.

Hilda and Janet were going out
with older boys, university students.

And they were all but pure.

Sorry, I didn't mean it.

I got to know the name of one of those boys.

He lives on a houseboat on the Thames.
His name is Philip sullivan.

- I am a friend of Philip sullivan.
- OK. come in.

He'll be here in a minute.
He is changing the film .

- Are you Philip sullivan?
- Yes. why?

Do you have five minutes?
I'm one of the teachers at st Mary's school .

Don't be afraid .
It all stays between you and me.

- Stay calm .
-what do you want to know?

Let's go out to talk.

No. I only have an hour.

Hurry up. otherwise we'll have to do it
another time.

Sorry, but I have to finish this service.
Take a seat.

Come on, darling. Let's go back to work.

Did you know Janet Bryant
and Hilda Erickson?

Yes, of course. Both of them .
when I was in college, last year.

And all my friends knew them .
Two girls with the right mind .

Too bad they ended up like this.

What do you mean by "right mind"?

In that sense. sex, my friend .

- Easy to take to bed?
- No, not to bed . But the rest, yes.

You must have read the Kinsey report, no?

What do you know about Brenda and Helen?
Do you know them?

Of course I know them .

Brenda, Helen and the other one.
what's her name?

- Elizabeth.
- Yes, her.

The one they killed the other day.
But she was not...

she was not in that group.

They are all my students.

- They have their own group, right?
- You bet.

Even in bed , they stick together,
those little dykes.

- And with you boys?
- Not in bed .

Not after what happened to solange.

OK, darling. Thanks a lot.
You can get dressed .

What do you want to know?

For starters, who is solange?

A girl .

- I named her as an example.
-what for?

Come on, tell me who solange is
and what happened to her.

Nothing!

What do you think happened to her?

- Speak up.
-what do you want me to say?

I don't know anything. she was half-French,
very free, nice-looking. And she was busy.

But I have never been with her, I swear.
It's the truth. she was a second-year.

- Not in my school .
- No.

- Where then? where?
- I don't know.

A school for girls.

I don't know where. I can't tell you more.
since then, she's disappeared .

Philip?

I'm coming, darling. I'll be right there.

Father Herbert always confesses here.

We priests also have
our little habits, Inspector.

I understand . who uses this one?

- I mean, is it possible that Father. . .
- Herbert.

That Father Herbert

sometimes invited a colleague to help?

Another priest?

It has never happened , Inspector.

I confess all girls at school personally,
and I can guarantee what I say.

I presume you are Father Herbert.
Please, come in.

So...

You always confess here.

You never change, right?

While you are closed inside,
and the parson celebrates Mass,

is it possible that another priest. . .
That damned ...

I mean, that blessed priest with the beard

could have hidden

in this confessional?

I think that all is possible
in theory, Inspector.

But I rule out this possibility.

And I suppose you cannot tell me
what the girls said

in confession during the past two weeks.

No, Inspector. I cannot tell you .

I understand .

I'd like to talk to you for a moment.

Please, don't misjudge Elizabeth.

Our friendship was clean.

But I am not here for this.

Look what's happening down there.

- It's unbelievable.
- It's not the place for a scandal .

Sorry.

I must know something.

Last year, you had a friend
whose name was solange. who is she?

Solange? Never heard of her.

- And you , Helen?
- No.

Come.

If you keep asking the girls,
Newton will believe you're an offender.

How are things with Herta?

She is an amazing woman. without her...

Yes, solange.
she was a second-year last year.

No, I don't know her last name.

- Thanks, and forgive my bothering you .
- And?

This was the last one.
There are no other schools in London. Look.

This one cannot be. she is still attending.

And not even this one.

Her name is solange,
but she is in fifth grade.

There is only one left. solange Beauregard .

She was a second-year last year,
but this year she is not enrolled .

So it should be her.
Do you know where she lives?

James street.

Do you want to go now?
Enrico, I'm exhausted .

- Good evening, miss.
- Good evening.

- Mrs and Mr Rosseni , good morning.
- Good morning.

You go to school . I'll go looking for solange.

- OK. Bye.
- Bye.

What's the matter?

Sorry for the time.
I'm looking for the Beauregard family.

Beauregard?

I don't know them .

They have a 16-year-old daughter.
Her name is solange.

- Do you know where I could find them?
- No, I'm sorry.

- We rented this house only a year ago.
-can you tell me who the owner is?

I only know the real estate agency,
Golden House, something like that.

Thanks.

- Hello?
- Am I speaking with Professor Rosseni?

Yes. who is it, please?

It doesn't matter. consider me a friend.
A friend of Italy.

-what do you want?
-shut up and listen.

Go to Italy on holiday, soon.
otherwise you won't see your wife any more.

son of a bitch.

Good morning.
This is the agency Golden House.

our office will be closed
till Monday morning at 9:00 am.

From that time...

Ruth Holden KNows Everything!
SHE LIvEs AT GERAsDoRF

Mr Rosseni ! This morning,
when you took the mail , this fell down.

Mrs Holden!

Hello?

Mrs Holden!

Mrs Holden!

Who do you think
left you this note in the mail?

Probably one of the second-year girls.

- And why did they send it to you?
- I have no idea.

- You should watch them , Inspector.
- Yes, we are doing it.

Have you heard? Also poor Ruth.

- Are you afraid?
- No, not much yet.

I'm really afraid .

We should tell everything to the police.

Idiot, would you want to blow the whistle?
we decided not to speak. we swore.

OK, OK. I won't open my mouth.
As you wish.

- Do you like your exercise, too, Mr Newton?
- Yes, yes.

No, the fact is
that I was looking for one of the teachers.

I'm looking for the girls. can you tell me
where the second-year class is?

Yes, yes. . . No. I actually...

Girls, did any of you
know Ruth Holden, the farmer?

No.

why do you say no?

- You are Brenda Pilchard , right?
- Yes.

- Could you come, too, Mrs Rosseni?
- Yes.

Why did you tell the professor
that you didn't know Ruth Holden?

Just this morning, your mother told me
that the poor soul

had been working for your family
for almost three years.

But you mean Tata.

Sorry, Inspector,
but I have always called her Tata.

That's why I had forgotten
that her name was Ruth.

Of course I knew her,
I can say since I was born.

This time, even the police
are groping in the dark.

And they treat me
like a kid playing cops and robbers.

- Maybe they're right.
- But I am a stubborn kid .

Those girls know everything, I swear it.

They are 16
and have a bunch of secret boyfriends.

Morbid jealousies, orgies, lesbian scenes.

Sorry, but it's the truth.

It wouldn't surprise me
to find out that they use drugs.

Oh, my God .
The way they killed poor Ruth Holden.

Enrico, please...

The murders are all linked to that. But...

But why get dressed as a priest?

And if it was really a priest?

He confesses them , he absolves them

and then he kills them .

Calm down, for now.

Monday, we will find this girl solange.

Till then, it is useless to fuss about it.

Come here, don't do this. stop.

Don't drive me mad ! come here, stop!
where are you going?

Stop, solange!

- Who is it?
- Hello? It's Philip, Mom .

What happened? why doesn't he call?

Listen, Brenda. There's some news.

come tomorrow afternoon
to the amusement park around 2:00 pm.

come, it is very important for us.
otherwise the police will discover it all .

He'll be there.

Here, here, here and here.

Normal cars and no undercover agents
with the typical police face.

You must watch everybody.

Without looking like a giraffe. OK?

One small trap
for tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 pm .

Solange!

Solange!

Don't you remember me? I'm Brenda.

You disappeared . come, come.

Why didn't we hear anything
from you any more?

Where have you been?

- Inspector.
- Don't salute, idiot.

We were friends, we could be friends again.

Where did she go?

Excuse me, Father.

- Have you seen two girls?
- Yes, they went this way.

I was walking, and after a moment I turned ,
and they had disappeared .

I saw the car leaving, but I noticed

there was only a priest driving
and nobody else inside.

I don't know anything else.

They cannot have gone far.
There are checkpoints on all roads.

We are doing our best.

She was last seen walking with another girl .

But she wasn't one of her classmates.
I am sure about that.

Please, try to remember
all her friends outside school .

- Inspector Barth!
- Excuse me.

- Mr Bascombe?
- Inspector.

My daughter solange

is not home.

I went out for a moment,
and when I came back, she had left.

Do you have a picture of her?

Yes, of course. I knew it could be useful .
Here it is.

Go with him . sergeant Kramer!

Solange Beauregard
is Bascombe's daughter?

Yes. she is very ill .
He keeps her almost hidden.

These are afflictions
you don't go around talking about.

- Last year she wasn't sick.
- I know. she got sick last summer.

The doctor says it's infantile regression.

Why does she have a different last name?

She is the daughter of a married woman.
Don't you have anything else to think about?

Where the hell is Kramer? Kramer!

Look here. Is this the girl
who was with Brenda?

Yes.

Here.

As you can see, they forced the door
from the outside.

Where is your daughter's room?

They also forced this room's door.

since she got sick,
I have always kept her at home, but now...

we don't have anything else
to do here, Professor.

Stay home.

I'll keep you informed
as soon as I have any news.

We can stay here to keep you company,
if you want.

No, thanks. I prefer to be alone.

OK. If you need anything, please call us.

He has been able to keep solange hidden
from everybody except the killer.

And of course, solange has been used
as bait for Brenda. But why?

Solange was only in the first form last year,
wasn't she?

Sure. I told you .

Where are you going now?

Solange cannot speak, but you can.

I want to know everything, got it?
Everything.

I knew that Tata was an expert
in those things.

We all went together to her place by bike.

You have not said all . I want the details.

When we got to Ruth Holden's house,

we started arguing

because not everyone agreed.

Elizabeth and Hilda, for example,
they absolutely didn't want it.

They wanted to convince solange
to go away with them.

To drop the whole thing.

Instead we convinced solange
to come to Mrs Holden,

that we had no choice.

solange, you'll regret it.

And what did you do to solange?

- Be quick.
- You won't hurt me, right, Tata?

If you'll suffer a bit, you deserve it.

You keep her still like this.

Keep them open. well open.

Now think about when you make love
and clench your teeth.

Enrico, are you sure?

- Who is it?
- Mr Bryant, please.

He is not home.

I'm Professor Rosseni . Please, let me in.

- Are you really sure?
- If I were, I wouldn't be here. come.

Hilda didn't want to tell me anything.

She didn't talk about you and the others.

But she betrayed herself during confession.

Janet, on the contrary,
told me almost everything.

During confession and before I killed her.

Are you absolutely sure
that nobody took away a book after...

I don't know.
we haven't set foot in this room .

Neither me nor Mr Bryant.

It's not here. The Italian handbook
is not here. Let's call Barth.

Now it is your turn, Janet.

Your turn.

See, Inspector, the door has been fixed .

But there is nobody here.

He must have
gone out to look for his daughter.

- No, Inspector.
- I cannot do anything without a warrant.

I have no proof, not even a serious hint,
Professor Rosseni .

See? The second-year Italian handbook.
solange stopped after the first year.

So why is it here?

And the Italian handbook that should be
at Janet's house is not there.

Here it is. why? How come, Inspector?

This is Inspector Barth.

To all units. search and stop...

Inspector, hello? Hello?

You are solange, right?

Where is your father?

Solange!

Solange.

Solange.

They found you .
oh, my God . where have you been?

Where did you find her?

She has come back home by herself,
Mr Bascombe.

I have a few questions for you ,
if you don't mind .

Come.

The black dress.

Barth!

Inspector Barth! Inspector!

- Inspector Barth!
- You stay here.

Come!

There! The priest's dress.

- Brenda, Brenda.
-she's fainted .

No!

why?

The girls had made a club.

A kind of secret sect with rules and oaths.
And the green pins.

They were having fun with the boys,
viciously and morbidly.

Without anybody noticing it.
without anybody understanding it.

Solange got pregnant.

If it had been discovered ,
everybody would find out everything.

They forced her to have an abortion.

She was traumatized .

The father, Bascombe,
had sensed something.

He contrived the priest disguise,
and in confession,

he got to know everything
and started to take revenge for his daughter.

All the girls involved

in that sordid story had to die.

All of them .

Hilda, Janet, Ruth Holden, Brenda

were sentenced to death by Bascombe

because they had made her insane.

Elizabeth, because she had seen him.

But it's always her, this poor soul,

who keeps paying for everybody.
