Lieutenant,

here's your photo of the Brooklyn bridge girl.

Pete, give me that file, will ya?

Cl ui uso liss.

Don't fall in love all at once.

Ihats the girls landlady, Mrs. weissberger.

Vrs. Wel berger, I'm I eutenant ams. Aleehe = I ie ll. Or \\willi

- this the girl? - Yes, lieutenant. That's her, all right.

Vc

What I mean fo say is that in real life she was much prettier-a real doll.

Poor thing. She was murdered, wasn't she?

I'll ask the questions, if you don't mind, Mrs. weissberger.

Uh, when did you last see this girl, um, Ann linn? That was her name, right?

No. That's her working nhame-— Her "nomy" de "plumee” or whatever.

Good gracious. If I was as beautiful as she was,

I wouldn't mind people knowing my real name.

She was a model, you know. Exotic poses and so on. Um-

she had it all. She was destined for the big time.

Well, I won't bend your ear any more, lieutenant,

but the last time I saw her was, um, last Friday.

That was, um, exactly six days ago.

Second drawer down.

She had left her apartment at 7:00.

I remember that because I'd just tumed on Dallas.

You know, that TV series about that family that has money coming out of its ears.

And she got this telephone call from this, umn, person.

Strangest voice I ever heard. Sort of like a duck.

- Like a duck? - Quack, quack, quack. Just like that.

Not that he said "quack, quack, quack,” but that was the tone.

Yeah, huh?

How come you heard the phone call?

Well, um, my phone's on the blink,

and sometimes it ID sometimes rings

so I answer, of course, and happen fo listen in.

Not that I pry. God forbid.

Thank you very much, Mrs. yweissberger.

You've really been a great help, and I appreciate it no end.

Now, if we need you again, we'll call, okay?

Eleven peopie a day are murdered here in fun city, and over half of them are women.

Good-bye.

Ohl

goddamn it! Why can't you watch where you're goin®?

Sorry. I was thinking of Boston.

The bar only streaked it. Ll rub off in a second.

You women should stay home where you belong.

And you're an asshole. Ciao.

Well, he deserves it. Itl wash right off with a little water.

so, what's the good news?

He used a blade.

He stuck it up her joy trail and slit her wide open.

But overall, it was, uh, good, efficient butchery.

- Sex? - Strange. No trace.

Jj

- Any ideas? - Jj'

I've seen hundreds of girls in very bad shape, you know.

A atoll.

What's so special about her? =you remember that-

that girl that they found five or six weeks ago?

- That model? - Ann linn?

I'd bet my dentures she was... She was done in by the same guy.

A lefty...

With a yen for slashing up young ladies.

A nother.

Anyway, maybe I have something that might interest you.

Ah?

I found traces of another blood group mixed with hers.

Probably our murderers.

=sam.

Samuel, may I have the file with the- all right. What the hell's the matter now?

Hmm. “Well, well, well.

It isn't the big chief person himself.

Hello, Fred. Listen, Fred. I want a word with you, and it's kind of hush-hush.

Uh, is there, uh, someplace we could talk without being disturbed?

Sure. How about the church across the street?

Fred. Fred. Have you flipped out, or are you frying fo give me an ulcer?

A smari-ass coroner comes out, what with a little verbal diarrhea,

and you immediately go around declaring there's a maniac loose in the city.

Yeah? So, what would you rather I say?

A boy scout's been starting to whittle on little girls with his knife?

For Christ's sake, don't get me wrong. I don't want to cramp your style.

But could you use a little discretion when you say things?

Papers follow up on this, it might start a panic, you know?

You don't wanna create another Atlanta, do ya?

Try and see it my way, Fred.

Yeah. All right, all night.

Hmm. Well, let's hope this was just an isolated case.

Tell me, uh, why did you exclude the car owner?

Do you expect a serious answer to your question,

or do you wanna hear a funny story?

You think that nerd who, when he found her, went to bawl in a men's room

could have ripped a girl's guts out on a crowded ferry?

Calm down a minute, Fred.

At what point are you in the case?

Well, I sent some of the murderer's blood down fo the boys at the lab.

- Ah. - They put it through the hemo sniffer.

'The answer they came up with is it could be any one of a million people.

Hmm.

Ywhat we do know is that he's, uh, between-

maybe. Maybe he's between 28 and, uh, 30, and he's lived all his life in New York.

Hmm. And do you have a pian of action?

- Huh? - No, I do not know what I'm gonna do.

Maybe-maybe I'll go to a shrink and get a psychological profile on this nut.

It may narrow the field a bit, and, uh, I may get a clue.

Yeah. I'm sure that's probably a good idea.

Is that new yorkers believe we have the situation firmly under control,

that the metropolitan force is an example of perfect efficiency.

Got it? Mm-hmm.

Keep in touch, will ya, Fred?

Lieutenant. Hey. Somebody called for ya.

Yeah? Who?

Guy with a strange voice. M10 ocll 11g u udll dau.

I'm looking for Dr. Davis.

Well, my problem is that I want to talk to Dr. Davis.

An oid coot with silver temples and a German accent.

It's about that maniac who loves to slash young girls to death, right?

I € gl t oodle: I of carrot 1

never mind. Let's get to the point.

You want me to collaborate on the case, don't you?

Yeah. More or less. I figure if I'm up against a maniac,

I as well have some, igh. Us well ave

who's paying? “Huh?

It's a fine art... hedging.

The truth is I'm quite busy, and, um,

the time I'd dedicate to you I'd have to take away from my other work.

I expect the administration will be able to raise enough money fo meet your fee.

Got any idea what a genius costs per hour?

No, no. I just know what's in my paycheck.

Okay. You let me have all the data, and...

I already have something going for the evening.

Don't work foo hard.

Well,

I think by now...

I know every one of these phone calls from your friend inside out.

And so I have come to three conclusions.

One: He's quite good at, uh, concealing his real personality,

two-

he wants to provoke you.

And, uh,

that's probably got something fo do with his motives.

And three:

Our man, though a voyeur, a peeper,

likes to be noticed.

Neurotic and egotistical. =mm-hmm.

'Ten million peopie in this city, that's a hell of a lot to go on, huh?

Yes. You were the murderer, darling.

it tends to bring us back to- to my original idea...

Of a person who has to blame the rest of society for his own shortcomings.

Lets say I's a woman.

She picks her victims because they're young,

and a great deal more fortunate than her.

Well, a man with a woman whom he's in love with...

But who has something wrong with her, like she's frigid, can get very paranoiac.

In which case, he used mikis to run around procuring his women?

It would appear so.

No, kalenda was a petty criminal who got caught in the middie.

Yes, he was a pervert who tried to assauit fay majors,

and when she fingered him he tried to kill her.

And knowing he would probably get blamed for all the other murders,

he put a bag over his head.

'Now, on granny ducks farm, there was a tiny plg,

and when they all jumped up gay saw dr ios

and their uncle went, quack, quack. Okay, okay.

But I betler not be very dig or eat too much.'

oh, thanks, unclel'

so they picked up the piggy and took it home.

I think that was a nasty trick.

"You dian't fell me you were talking about a baby pig.

Quack, guackl take him back!'

oh, please, uncle. He's so tiny.'

well, okay, quack, quack. Just so long as he doesn't dirly-"

Well, I found out that fay majors is enrolled at the university,

so I, uh-i went and I fished out her aptitude tests.

Apart from an incredibly high 1.Q.,

there's also a note with five stars saying that she tends toward hallucinations,

and quite often she has visions which, to her, seem reality.

Now, does that ring a bell?

I'm just a stupid cop, right?

Is that you, fay?

Fay? Fay?

Hi, honey. Where have you been?

Around.

- What do you want to eat tonight? - Anything you want.

No one's come around to see her in months now.

How much time has she got leit? Almost none.

Her entire lymphatic system is shot. It's very sad.

Just lying there day after day fading away.

A terrible process. That's lymphogranuloma.

And here she lies with one parent off in Brazil.

And the other, you say, pays the bills and never visits.

Jc = 4 ll = lk j ne u

but they only came to see her once after the amputation.

She'll never grow up to be a woman.

Now I understand.

Lieutenant, /'d have feler bunch's house put under surveillance immediately.

You really don't have much faith in us, do you? It already is.

Hello?

This is the little duck. How are ya? We haven't played in such a long time.

But I was sure of it when I heard Peter on the phone with his daughter,

and he started to speak with a strange voice,

and then he staried talking about me

how he planned to get rid of Mel

You know, it's strange, the brain.

It's what happens when you want to erase guilt.

In putting all the onus on the duck, he wasn't the one who was responsible.

The duck became a kind of outside avenger for his daughter,

and he never realized that a little affection is all she asked...

For her to bear the tragedy of her condition.

Dadady, please don't leave me alone.

P-please.

Please answer. Speak to me.
