THE PRAGUE MYSTERIES

EPISODE 4

- Pepa! - Come on!

What are you doing?!

Pepa...

I need to pee.

Ah, sure.

I'll wait for you here.

- But no peeking. - No, no.

Oh...

Turn around, Pepa.

Pepa, I can see you!

Pepa!

Pepa!

And that's how the stingy glassmaker ended up.

And the bell rang

and the fairy tales were over.

Isn't it great, lying like this all morning?

Like lords...

I'd rather be outside.

I know, but you can't go with your asthma, you know?

It bothers me, too, that you're here alone all day.

I'll take it.

I'll get it for you.

No, you don't understand, Betty...

You know, I just want to know if it's always this beautiful.

If you love each other, yeah.

Do you?

Well...

- Is that yes, or no? - I mean, yes, but...

What?

So, is he shy?

What does he do?

Are you feeling sick?

Careful, you'll scald your feet!

But there's more!

Guess who his boss is?

Why did I go there!

What now?!

You have a guest.

Mr Novacek is here.

I'm terribly sorry, Chief Inspector, I know it's Sunday...

Not much is known yet, Chief Inspector.

Where?

Mala Chuchle or Velka Chuchle, somewhere there.

Wait, Velka Chuchle isn't part of Prague, is it?

Well, no, but it's rather the other one.

Yes, right. Hello, Rudla.

- Hello. - So what do we know?

Nothing.

Nothing.

- What is it? - Nothing.

Let's go, Mr Neuzil.

It was awful.

- Hello, gentlemen. - Hello.

- Crime scene. - Thank you.

Hello, Chief Inspector.

- Hello. - Hello.

These are the witnesses.

Please, follow me, gentlemen.

The victim was strangled.

There are clear ligature marks.

Looks like she was strangled with some kind of thin rope or cord.

This handkerchief was stuffed in her mouth.

There are some initials,

K.M.

You seem a bit under the weather.

I had the flu, but I'm all right now.

Beautiful dress, clean hands, manicured nails.

She must be from Prague.

We are in Prague.

I mean proper Prague.

ROSE INN

Good evening, inspector!

Come on, let's have a drink!

I won't!

Come on, please.

- Get out of here! - Yeah, why?

I said, get lost!

Go!

Thanks, honey.

Such a gentleman!

What a sorry sod you got here, huh?

It's Lily's birthday, inspector.

I can see that.

Hey, don't do this again, all right?

He'll be back, don't worry.

That wasn't a punter.

This guy wants to marry me.

Well...

actually, I'm here for the same reason, you know?

Give me a break!

Why?

Actually you know what?

Old coppers

and retired prostitutes kind of belong together, right?

But I'm not retired yet.

And you're pretty handsome yourself, inspector.

Pavlinka loves you.

Someone has to be with her.

And I love her, sure, and I'll be with her as long as I can.

But marriage? No thanks!

All right, it's up to you.

But think it over, or you may regret it!

Lily!

Lily, Lily!

Lily! Lily, Lily!

I didn't even thank you for the trees.

What trees, Hynek?

The trees, you told me about when they are planted.

You helped me a lot.

Do you have a temperature?

I'm beginning to worry about the girls.

Sisi is still keeping her suitor from us,

so God knows what kind of character he is.

And Julie has started to dress up and she's giggling about something...

all the time.

That's the way it is, they're girls,

they have their secrets, their lives.

You're a detective, so figure it out!

Will you please help me get dressed?

Eniko and I are going to the club.

There's a collection for veterans.

Our veterans. Hungarian.

Hungarians!

Hynek?!

Please.

And she's using a different rouge.

- Who is? - Julie.

The girl we found yesterday used a similar one.

Hynek, please don't bring your work home.

We just have to watch the girls more closely.

How do you do that?

She was very pretty, all spruced up...

but dead.

Eniko!

Please, finish this for me.

Of course, Countess.

I've missed two buttons...

maybe three.

...Friend.

We're living together to save money,

and she's been away since yesterday. Since morning.

Maybe she's at her parents'.

She doesn't have parents anymore.

Or anyone else she could go to.

She only has me.

Don't worry, miss, we'll find your friend.

But what if she's already dead?

Well, well, well, let's hope it's not too bad, missy.

So your friend's name and address?

Tyna Masova.

Our address is the same as I told you, Na okraji 10.

Tyna, you mean Kristyna? K.M.?

Kristyna Masova, yes.

Kristyna...

How did she disappear?

Well...

she just didn't come home.

How did you two even know each other?

We know each other from school, from St. Anne's Teaching's Institute.

St. Anne's.

Tyna plays the piano beautifully

and makes a living as a private music teacher.

You found an apartment together?

No, she already had an apartment, but I didn't.

I'd have to go home to my parents,

so she offered to let me stay with her.

She didn't have a boyfriend?

Well, there was this Chalupa guy hanging around her.

He's got a sublet just down the street from us.

But she is not with him. I am sure.

His landlady is a harridan, she wouldn't allow it.

Excuse me, miss.

Havrankova.

Miss Havrankova?

Sure.

Thank you.

EVIDENCE

Miss Havrankova, I'm going to show you something now,

but I'm telling you in advance that it does not have to mean anything.

What happened to her?

Do I really have to?

No, you don't have to, but it would help us a lot.

Please.

Well, she's not the first to pass out here.

I think the identification is positive.

This will do the trick!

Number ten!

Not exactly a cheap place.

Not cheap, but quite nice.

Two pretty girls living in a pretty apartment.

That's how it is with girls.

But only one was making any money.

Yeah, right.

And probably a lot.

- Inspector! - Yes?

Could you stop by Mr Chalupa's place?

Do you have the address?

Yes, Chief Inspector.

As you wish.

We can handle it here with Novacek, right?

Please.

So here it is.

Masova.

Masova.

She can wait.

Come with me.

So look, Martin...

it's about Julie.

She is young.

She is still a child.

I know.

I recently found out that she's already seeing someone.

Well, I am terribly sorry...

Well, don't apologise...

Wait, where are you going?

Come back here.

To investigate.

I don't even know who he is.

What if they have already...

you know...?

Right, and what are you apologising for anyway?

Well... I don't know exactly...

why you're telling me this.

Come here.

I am telling you because I want to ask you for something.

A private thing.

Could you keep an eye on her for me once in a while?

Well...

What exactly do you mean, Chief Inspector?

Well, you know, if she wants to go out, like dancing or...

or to those girly tea parties...

you could go with her.

She is usually accompanied by Sisi,

but you know, she can't be everywhere either.

Well, and... also, she could cover for her...

you know... girls could easily be in cahoots, you know?

Well, I'll be happy to do that.

I mean for you, Chief Inspector.

Okay.

Well, let's go investigate!

Excuse me.

Novacek!

Pardon me.

That is all right, it just reminded me of her a little.

A very nice place you have here.

She had a very nice place,

I was here with her.

Miss Masova must have been...

a really good music teacher.

Well, she lost her parents, but she inherited some money.

Still, it is a pretty classy apartment.

Yes, but as a music teacher, she did house calls.

And who can afford a teacher like that these days, right?

Only the rich.

And when they're rich, they can pay.

I see.

I also try to play sometimes, but I am not as talented as Tyna was.

Sorry, those are hers, I have to throw them away.

How long was she alone?

Without a boyfriend?

Please, have a seat.

Well, alone...

Chalupa had been wooing her all the time.

What do you mean?

Well, for a long time.

How long... six months?

Probably even longer.

Anyone else?

It's hard to say, she didn't talk much about herself.

And I'm not here all the time either, am I?

Sometimes I go visit my parents in Zbraslav

or do some housecleaning work.

I'm doing what I can, too.

We are not accusing you of anything, Eliska.

And do you know...

whom she gave piano lessons to?

No.

You really don't know?

I just need some information.

I was about to tell you I'm heading out to the shop so I won't be here,

is that all right?

Yes, I left it here... and can I take this away?

- Yes. - Yes?

You didn't eat much, you didn't like it?

No, quite the opposite.

Yes? Okay.

Well, if you need anything, I can stay here.

I have plenty of time.

No, just go do your shopping.

We don't need anything.

Thank you.

Well, as you wish.

Oh, look the water is dirty, I'll get him some fresh water.

No, I'll do it later.

Okay. So I'm leaving.

Well, thank you, Mrs Kralova.

That was my landlady. She's nice.

Won't you sit down?

What is this about? I don't know anything.

We'll see about that.

What happened? I gotta go to work, I have an afternoon shift.

Where do you work?

Lab technician at Heider's, the photographer at Wenceslas Square.

I need to know the last time you saw Kristyna Masova.

What's it to you?

I showed you my badge,

so you probably know I'm not here just for the kicks.

So again...

When was the last time you saw Kristyna Masova?

On Friday. And I'll see her again tomorrow.

Wednesdays and Fridays, those are our days.

How did you two meet?

She went to Heider's to have her picture taken, about a year ago,

she just lit the place up.

The boss said he'd never seen a girl so beautiful as her in his life.

And then?

I ran up to her to ask her out for coffee.

She didn't want to go.

Then we talked for a while

and I found out that she lives just around the corner.

Well, a month or so ago, maybe six weeks,

our relationship changed a lot.

It was beautiful.

Why do you ask that?

Because Kristyna Masova

was found dead.

But we're supposed to see each other tomorrow.

What is more, he gave me two addresses.

For a butcher and the section chief at the National Bank.

Who are they?

Masova taught their children to play the piano.

And how does this Chalupa know that?

Because Havrankova didn't know any Masova's clients

or how much money she was making.

Well, she did tell Chalupa...

although it took him a year of asking her out.

You know what they say, persistence brings fruits.

That's pretty interesting.

What were these people playing at?

This is going to be a jealousy murder, I'd bet.

Yeah, the doctor also brought us a fresh autopsy report.

And?

A puncture mark?

I don't understand... look at this.

Let me see.

Blurry, poorly defined, in the area of the ligature marks...

according to the drawing somewhere here.

Then what did he strangle her with, huh?

Leave it to me, Julie.

Really.

I will tell him when the time is right.

Yes, when the time is right...

As soon as possible.

Anyway, I'm going to the dance.

Well, good.

Then I will come with you.

But you said yesterday that if Dad saw us together...

I changed my mind.

- Like now? - Yes now.

- You know why? - Why?

So what if he sees us together at the ball.

At least we can talk about it, man to man.

Okay.

All right?

Julie!

I'm coming.

What were you doing there?

Who was it?

Classmate.

Sure. Classmate!

Please, gentlemen, follow me.

Have a seat and make yourself at home!

Gentlemen!

Who is that, Karel?

Hello.

They are with the police.

The girl who had taught our little Milada the piano was murdered.

This is Marie, my wife.

Oh my God, that's terrible...

but, Karel, what do we have to do

with the fact that Miss Masova was murdered?

She did teach Milada the piano,

but what about it?

That's what we're trying to find out, madam.

She used to come every Friday...

Write that down.

...at three, right?

She and Milada played the piano

for two hours and then she left at five.

That's right.

That's all we know about her.

Nothing else.

Please, have a seat.

She's enjoying the piano.

Come on, say something too.

Well, she likes the piano, yes.

About the young miss!

Yes, about that...

what is, I mean was, her name again?

Masova.

Masova... I mean, we don't know anything about her.

You know what, gentlemen, I'm gonna give you a piece of ham

for the road, so you don't leave empty-handed.

No, that's not necessary.

Of course it is! Just come here.

Nobody can say that Skopek lets guests leave empty-handed.

Come on, Novacek, I think we've heard enough here.

Guest in the house, God in the house!

Isn't that right, Marie?

Oh, yes, Karel.

So goodbye.

Let's go to the shop!

Goodbye.

Well, here it is, gentlemen, I hope you won't be offended.

You really want to give us that?

That'd be a bribe!

Bollocks, it's not a bribe.

It's just a little something for not interrogating me at home.

You know, I wouldn't be able to explain it.

That's Standa, the master butcher.

Right, Standa?

Standa, put that down and go cut the ham for the gentlemen here.

Twice, as usual.

Yes, boss.

What did you mean, at home?

It's about darling Tyna.

And close that notebook, young man.

Well... out with it, Mr Skopek.

I'm a man, you see.

We've seen each other a couple of times, you know?

We get it, men will be men.

And where did you meet?

At her place.

Well, we went on little trips a couple of times.

Where to?

Chuchle.

In the woods near the station?

That's right.

How do you know?

Experience.

Well, we're all men here.

Were you there this Sunday?

Oh, no!

We haven't seen each other in a while.

- Why not? - Why?

Because she broke up with me, said she liked me,

but that I wouldn't get a divorce for her anyway!

And she was right, gentlemen, I wouldn't!

Because everything that... that you see...

that all belongs to Marie, my wife.

And...

then she said that since I liked her so much,

she'd ask me for a little...

one-time contribution

for her household.

Did she get it?

Yes.

Ah, ham, yes, that's it...

Skopek's ham, smells good, doesn't it.

Standa, please go watch over the shop for a while, I'll come there.

She didn't say my wife could learn about us...

but that's how I understood it.

How much?

Ten thousand.

He wasn't lying, this can't be a bribe.

When he sliced it, I changed my mind, too.

I'm taking the ham to Pavlinka.

Hello, Miss Havrankova.

I already told you everything.

Excuse me, I'm in a hurry.

But we don't want to question you anymore.

Don't worry.

What then? Why are you here?

We need to take a look at Miss Masova's things.

- Are you looking for something? - Yes.

I'm busy. I'm going to work.

So you'd probably want to stay here, right?

Wouldn't you?

But I'm gonna need a roommate now, I can't afford it on my own.

Tyna, she managed to do everything herself.

So there's nothing missing from Miss Masova's personal effects?

Well, I just borrowed this blouse. But that's okay, right?

Tyna and I were often borrowing each other's stuff.

Please, if you'll tell me what you're looking for,

maybe I can help you.

There won't be anything there anyway.

Just in case.

Don't touch that,

it's Tyna's.

I'm sorry, I apologise, my daughter would like one, but smaller.

Could you play it again, inspector?

No, please, no more!

Excuse me, Miss Havrankova.

Would you mind?

What is this doing here?

I don't know.

Well, it wasn't there yesterday.

It must have been there!

Do you know the last time we had dinner together, Hynek?

Not long ago, Ilona, with the girls.

Two months ago, before your big promotion.

So we can turn this dinner tonight into a tradition.

Eniko will be happy to have at least one evening a week off, regularly,

as she used to have.

Well, did you see that?

That was...

What a coincidence, isn't it?

- Almost ready. - Right.

- Are your eyes closed? - Yes.

- Don't cheat! - No, I wouldn't dare.

Voilà!

That smells like ham...

and it is ham!

Oh, you finally have a standard salary?

Yes, of course, I could easily provide for us.

- Here you go, madam! - Merci beaucoup.

- Bon appetit. - Bon appetit.

Oh... yay...

Oh, sorry.

That's all right.

I'm such a klutz. No, not at all, it's fine.

No, Julie, I really am a klutz!

No, really, it's all right.

No, I'm so stupid!

Don't apologise.

I'm supposed to be at the bank for this new case.

Oh, I see... well, that's okay, we're used to it.

I'm so sorry.

And lock the door when you leave.

...he was just put in handcuffs!

Oh, that's wonderful!

You're fantastic!

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'm sorry, inspector, but I still have one minute.

That's right.

I guess you'll tell me next time, inspector.

I will.

So please, gentlemen, follow me.

Did something happen to her?

Miss Masova?

Why do you think, sir?

Because I've told her myself several times.

You threatened her?

Excuse me?!

What do you think of me?!

Of course not!

I just told her something would happen to her

if she kept doing things like that.

That one day she would run into someone bad.

What kind of things?

You know that!

You must know, that is why you are here.

Coffee, sir!

Thank you, I will handle it myself!

Right. Anything else?

No, thank you, Adelka.

Please, gentlemen.

Okay, well here it is.

We met a couple of times, mostly at her place.

Then we went for a walk to Chuchle,

where she told me that I wouldn't divorce my wife

and we should stop seeing each other.

Then she asked for a little contribution for her household,

and as a memento she gave me a photograph of us together,

in a rather delicate situation.

A photograph?

As a memento?

Yes.

Could you show us the photograph?

No.

I burned it.

It was such a weird picture.

Honestly, I was hoping to never see Miss Masova again.

So you two never met again?

No.

She kept her word in this regard.

And you paid her?

Ten thousand.

Yes.

Ten thousand.

She had the photograph.

It was like they did that on purpose, the way they passed us.

And who was that man?

If only I knew his name!

I'd have him vetted by now.

Is that allowed?

And is it allowed to fool around with our daughter in a car like that?

Hynek, please, are you that old?

Remember yourself at that age.

No, I'm not, but this is different.

Didn't you at least notice the number on the car?

Leave it alone, inspector, she won't listen to us anyway.

Girls!

Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

What about Julie?

What about that dance she wanted to go to?

- Oh, she is going. - What?

You allowed it yourself. Very quickly.

I was surprised myself.

Well, she's big and sensible now.

See, and she was afraid you wouldn't allow it.

Please!

I know what I'm doing.

So do I.

Honey!

Madam, may I?

Please.

Ah, move!

What?

Madam, may I?

Please.

Shall we dance?

May I?

Yes.

Where have you been? It took you an awfully long time.

It was too crowded.

I have a confession to make.

I was just...

I was worried that you would mind if Eniko saw us together.

Why should I mind? I'm a man!

And a police officer on top of that!

And I work for the Fourth Department.

Let me go! I'm waiting for the old man here!

How dare you?

Leave me!

Do you have to touch me? Let me go!

Do it!

Pigs!

- You're up! I say get on. - Pigs!

Let's go!

Thank you.

Well, goodbye, Mr Novacek, maybe we'll have tea sometime again.

You'll have to arrange that with your mother, Miss Julie!

So I wish you pleasant dreams, Miss Julie,

and hope to see you soon.

Good night!

At your service, madam.

We are good to go.

Good night.

She doesn't like me.

Oh, no.

She doesn't want to marry me, you know?

But don't worry.

I'll convince her one day.

Come on, let's go.

Hop!

All right.

Jump in, yes.

I had her busted today,

but it wasn't real.

I still think that she will change her mind

and be here with you soon enough.

Come on...

Hop!

You mean you had her arrested?

Why?

Our Toni?

But I said she didn't go to jail.

We were just messing around with the boys, you know?

What is it?

- Look, Dad... - Yes?

I'll tell you, that's a silly game.

Maybe Toni likes it.

If someone had me "busted",

I would never marry him.

And whom would you marry?

Someone who would bring me flowers, maybe.

Or hold my hand.

I would marry him in a heartbeat, Dad.

I am sure she was not there with any dandy,

I would have noticed.

Great, thank you.

And if she goes somewhere again,

can I count on you?

At your service, Chief Inspector.

Right.

Wait, come here!

What about Masova?

Do you have anything?

Masova? Oh, sure.

We have a bank pass book with several large deposits,

ten thousand each time.

Where did they come from?

From the men whose kids she taught to play the piano.

Oh, I see.

Interestingly, in at least one case,

she had a photograph taken of the two of them together.

Secretly made.

Interesting.

That means someone must have been secretly photographing them.

So we need to find that someone.

Come in!

Officer Zilka.

Police President is requesting the Chief Inspector

to come see him at his office.

Thank you.

"To the attention of the Police President.

"The conduct of your Inspector Budik

"has brought great disgrace upon our whole family,

"and we would request the Police President

"that Chief Inspector Budik be removed from the police force,

"so that he may never harm people again.

"This is the wish of honest people,

who have always been of a glorious and industrious family."

What can you tell me about that, Chief Inspector?

I assume you know who wrote it?

It was one of the worst moments of my police career, Mr President.

They set the suicide of an honest old woman like a murder.

The whole family!

Chief Inspector, I have to deal with this

because it came from army command.

They assume that you will be punished.

But, sir, it was a damned case, and we have closed it properly.

Yes.

We will report that your allowance was cut

and you've been thoroughly reprimanded.

- Which was done. - Thank you.

You may leave. Go ahead, you got a case.

Yes, and as penance,

I want a membership in your card club.

Thank you, Mr President.

Go now.

Hello!

Sit down, Toni!

I can't stay here long. I'll take you home.

What are you doing to me, inspector?

Why did you pick on me?

I'm waiting here for you.

I have had you released!

And you had me busted, too!

Please... maybe a little, all right.

Jesus, give me a break!

Give you a break? What kind of a joke was that?

Here.

For me?

I have never gotten flowers before!

Sit down, let's go home.

You'll get a ring later, I didn't have time to buy one.

And one more thing...

I like you.

Did Miss Masova have a camera?

Where would she have it?

Well, I don't know.

I don't know either. That's an expensive thing, a camera.

She was making a lot of money, wasn't she? Do you mind?

Well, it was enough to keep the household running...

But she didn't teach that many lessons.

And couldn't she have been getting

a little something extra for the photographs?

A little something extra for the photographs, you say?

What is this nonsense?

What kind of photographs are you talking about?

Well... I was just wondering...

This is good.

BUTCHER

Good day to you.

- Hello. - Hello!

Back for more ham, huh?

I'll go get it right now. Delicious, right?

No, not today.

I came for something else.

No? For what?

Yes... Standa, Pepa, take that back to the shop

- and tell Anca to make you coffee! - Yes, boss.

I came for the photograph.

What photograph?

Well, the one you got as a memento.

From Miss Masova.

How do you know that...?

You still have it, don't you?

Well, the photo...

right... it's pretty dirty, you see...

You're gonna give it back to me, right?

Someone took this picture, well, in Chuchle.

It was a good idea to ask Skopek about the photo.

Yeah... but that was the Chief Inspector's idea.

It doesn't matter, we're a team.

Here's the important thing, there is no stamp,

no photographic studio mark.

That means someone made it at home, alone.

Someone who has the tools to do it.

So?

So...

so Masova was working with someone

who knows how to take and develop photographs.

With all due respect, Chief Inspector, you were wrong.

You said, it would be a jealousy murder, the victim being a young girl,

but I think... we think,

it's about money after all.

And we're ready to arrest Chalupa.

- Yes. - Yes, go ahead.

I have some things to think over here.

Jesus Christ, I didn't rent a room to some thug, did I?

Oh, no, we just need you as a witness.

Yes, sure, inspector,

perhaps I could help you if you'd tell me what you're looking for.

You know, we don't really know what we're looking for, madam.

Miss!

That's a shame, because I know where he keeps his stuff,

because I clean up this place.

Come on, that's the kitchen...

sorry...

and that's his room, Mr Chalupa's room I mean.

I know, I've been here before.

Of course, I remember you.

You are difficult to forget.

Will you leave us alone for a moment?

Well, of course.

And coffee?

A piece of cake? Would you like some?

Gladly, thank you.

Okay, sure.

Wait a minute.

What do we have here?

Novacek, come here.

So...

this could be it.

How about that?

That hurts, inspector.

Enough! Enough!

What's wrong, can I help?

- Everything okay? - Sure.

All right... go on.

How do I explain this?!

Wear a scarf, Novacek.

- Please. - Thank you.

Tyna was very clever.

And very pretty, almost like your Sisi.

I have not seen her since she finished her studies here.

How is she doing?

Excuse me, professor, but I am here to talk about Miss Masova.

Oh, sure.

Good morning, professor.

- Hello. - Hello.

She never really cared about boys, she had been going everywhere

with one girl since her first year,

with that Eliska.

She was not as smart as Tyna,

she was a bit older, big eyes,

dark hair, beautiful too.

Well, thank you, professor.

You are welcome.

Open up, Chalupa!

I can't, I'm developing!

Almost ready.

What is this about?

Criminal Police.

Jindrich Chalupa, you are under arrest

for the premeditated murder of Kristyna Masova.

Jesus Christ, why would I kill her?

I loved her.

Handcuffs.

Hands!

- I loved her. - Come on.

Let's go.

Would you like some coffee?

And you know that I would.

Good, I'll warm it up for you.

No, that is not necessary.

I like mine cold, it is for beauty.

Yes, well, you're a different breed than your people.

- So, please. - Thank you.

- Sugar? - I don't take sugar.

Ah, life's sweet enough for you, huh?

That depends, Miss Kralova, that depends.

Yes, yes.

And your colleagues...

I offered to help them, as one should, but what do you think?

They didn't want anything!

And they found a camera in that closet over there.

And they took it.

- Here in the closet? - Here in the closet, yes.

Can they do that?

They can.

Well, and one was strangling the other with it, they can do that too?

He was strangling him?

Yes, he was strangling him with the belt.

So he was strangling him with the belt.

Well, they can do that too.

Look, I mean, I know the republic is definitely a good thing,

but this wouldn't have happened in Austria-Hungary.

My words exactly, Miss Kralova, my words.

Listen, was there anybody here to see

Mr Chalupa yesterday or the day before?

Yes, right.

A girl, young.

Well he wasn't home and she said she'd wait for him.

But she wouldn't say what her name was.

She was dark-haired, large eyes.

I made her coffee and she didn't even drink it.

Said she had to go.

Was she in this room?

Oh, I don't know.

I had to pop out for a minute, so...

So a dark-haired, big-eyed girl.

And pretty.

Well, could be.

Well, I have to go now, too.

But thank you very much, Miss Kralova.

Not just for the coffee.

You have been very helpful.

- Goodbye. - Oh, right, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Tickets, please.

Yes.

Good.

Tickets, please.

Your ticket, please!

Hello.

Now this is police harassment!

You know, this is an apartment of a crime victim.

Well, anyway.

Your officers have searched this place twice.

Yes. Kristyna Masova's things.

But I'd like to take a look at yours.

You'd have to have a warrant for that.

That I do have.

May I?

Thank you.

So what is it about?

Nothing.

I'd like to see your room now.

Please.

Thank you.

Is this really your room?

Yes.

And Kristyna Masova slept in the bedroom?

Oh, sure.

And you sleep on this sofa?

Yes.

But it was in the next room not long ago.

What's it to you?

Excuse me.

May I?

Why do you ask if you have a warrant?

My wife taught me good manners.

Sit down for now, sit down.

It's a light bulb from a darkroom!

That's not mine. That's Tyna's.

I know.

And some negatives.

Maybe she has some stashed in the other room.

You wouldn't get far anyway.

There is a car full of officers outside.

Or do you really think that I came here alone?

Hands!

Stop, stop!

Not everyone has to see what is on your hands.

Where's that car full of your officers?

Everyone has the right to lie sometimes.

If you can, why can't I?

Let' go. Well come on!

So I don't get hanged for doing nothing,

I'll just rot in prison for the rest of my life

for admitting to doing nothing?

Well, I guess the life sentence thing is negotiable as well, isn't it?

You're the only one saying you're innocent.

So am I.

Kristyna Masova was murdered by her roommate Eliska Havrankova.

That's not true!

Please, have a seat.

At first I was surprised that the bank savings book

was found in the piano,

since, at least according to her own words,

Miss Havrankova herself sometimes played it.

Then I was also puzzled when you told me you didn't know anyone

Miss Masova gave lessons to.

I mean, you lived together,

you were best friends.

Two beautiful best friends.

Well, I began to wonder why there were no gentlemen suitors...

interested in two such beautiful women.

Where do you sleep, Miss Havrankova?

Where would I sleep? In the bed.

No, not there.

It is perfectly made,

so perfectly made, in fact,

that you can still see today where I touched the bedspread

with my hand the other day.

You and Miss Masova slept in it together!

Only you haven't lain down in it

since Mr Chalupa was there as well.

Sit down, Havrankova.

And that is jealousy!

You did not mind if Tyna went out with someone

who had money now and then, because that was business.

You even photographed them and then made compromising pictures.

- I don't even know how to do that. - How come you don't?

I taught you both.

I even bought you that red light bulb!

I just don't know what kind of photographs you're talking about.

It doesn't matter, Mr Chalupa.

Take the cuffs off.

I am pretty sure we will find your fingerprints on the red bulb,

just like on the negatives.

In addition, we will confront you with Mr Chalupa's landlady.

I think she'll recognise you.

You had to go over there to plant the camera in his stuff.

It was the boss of Chalupa, Mr Heider,

he was in love with her.

But the feelings were not mutual.

They weren't.

He gave her the camera.

And once she had a camera, we could make photographs.

In Chuchle?

In Chuchle.

Tyna always brought the men to the same place.

Everything was so beautiful.

But Chalupa here couldn't help himself, he was always chasing her.

And Tyna went completely crazy about...

being with him.

But we promised each other that we would always be together!

Take her away!

If Miss Masova was murdered just for money,

why would she have that handkerchief with the initials in her mouth?

No, no, this was a jealousy murder.

I gave her the handkerchief!

I embroidered it myself, you know?

And she then runs off with a guy like Chalupa!

I told you last time not to show your face around here!

Why shouldn't I show up here?

Is this your place?

Yeah, it's mine.

Take your hat and get out of here!

We'll be seeing each other later!

Come on, come to mama.

Hello.

Hello.

It's not a diamond, but it's not a cheap fairground ring either.

I'm just trying it on...

to see if it fits.

Sure.

Call me Rudla, please.

Two shots of peppermint schnapps!
