[Dog barking]

[Hissing]

[Horn blaring]

You asleep, Johnny?

I never knew anyone
sleep as well as you.

Come to think of it, I haven't
had much time to, have 1?

You asleep, aren't you, Johnny?

Sure, you're all right.

Well, then.

Oh god, I got the most
terrible headache.

Thinking
you're not built for it.

[Wind howling]

[Dog barking]

Sleep!

Funny what you think
you can't sleep.

Hell, bloody aspirin.

[Glass shattering]

Don't I exist?

Oh, I'm sorry, Johnny.

I'm sorry I woke you up.

I'm glad you're awake.

You know, I don't
except when you're there.

Even like now when you act
fed up and bored with me.

Even now it's better for me.

Oh, do you want a cigarette?

Yeah, that's it is.

For you I've sort
of gone out of life.

To be your mistress,
I've become no one.

Job, no friends.

I'm just a shadow...

Waiting for you
up your mind, Johnny.

Oh, stay with me.

Stay the night.

I don't want any money.

What do I want money for?

I you, Johnny.

Listen to me, I didn't
have to say this.

I wanted you to
choose me for me.

You're have to tell her.

Couple of months.

Oh, Johnny, Johnny.

It'll out, you'll see.

Everything will fine.

Stay tonight.

Good, you just

coming here in
evenings going home again.

This ought to be your home.

The Johnny, make it now.

Stay with me.

It will work, you'll see if it...

Johnny!

[Whistle screeching]

[Engine humming]

[Alarm ringing]

Mr. restlin?

Yes?

Sergeant wilks.

Well, it's about time.

Lucky I wasn't being murdered.

You the call
minutes ago, Mr. restlin.

We've been burgled.

From the inside.

Morning. Morning.

This is tenby, my
letting manager.

Now, who found what,
and what's been touched?

Well, that me.

Nothing there.

I opened it just to

I kept my gloves on, though.

I you'd fingerprints.

Must have left prints.

Might have.

What's missing?

Yes, my leases.

They stole all my leases.

I kept them in here.

They've taken the whole folder.
Leases?

Is that all they took?

That's all.

You can bring in
your paraphernalia

start fingerprints.

Suppose we get first.

So now, then, um,
who discovered this?

Tenby found the window
broken, called me,

I called the police.

What time was this?

Oh, 8:45.

Was the door open?

No, locked.

I let myself in
Mr. restlin right away.

Who might leases, Mr. restlin?

How should I know?

You're the policeman.

You're supposed to tell me.

Well, I say this
amateur job, myself.

The to these flats?

Round the corner.

But why amateur?

Professional thief going to in

just to steal leases.

Who did it, then?

Anybody owe you a
lot of back rent?

Anybody try to break a lease?

Got a hope.

There's five owing rent.

Well, one family [inaudible].

Hey, think
trying to pull something?

I'm only guessing, sir.

Upstairs heard something.

I can't believe
someone would do this

just to get out of some rent.

Of course not.

It's daft.

Doesn't know his job,
that's his trouble.

Would fingerprints.

I must say it's a bit odd
just taking the leases.

They were probably disturbed

anything else.

We'll really what doing.

Get me the police station.

Headquarters, yes.

Whoever's in charge.

Better Ernie.

Right, sarge.

Oh, if a gentleman
full of pithy suggestions,

unit right?

Now, sarge, would I do that?

I don't know.

Just touch and me.

Hello, kg.

Message from kg 7.

Estate king's road.

Tell chief inspector this.

Hello, Katie.

Morning, Mr. fellows.

All behaving?

Quietly so far.

Ankle behaving?

There is nothing my ankle.

My father says there's an
age when every man should

kicking a football around.

Well, you tell your father...

[Phone buzzing]

Me, sir.

Oh, sergeant.

Sir?

You seen a gold nugget?

No, sir.

Well, equivalent.

Third row, block
c. 3:15 kickoff.

Should be quite a match, sir.

Yeah, we'll the hide off "em.

[Laughs]

Mr. fellows.

Superintendent
like to speak to you.

Well, in everything, Katie, I'll

put in a good word for you.

Supe's looking for you, Fred.

I know.

Probably

morning, sir.

Just coming on?

On, sir.

I'm not off till this afternoon.

We've a complaint I'd
like you to look into.

What sort of a complaint?

Well, somebody
break-in last night.

Complains the police
aren't doing enough.

That's a change.

Usual complaint
we're doing too much.

Mr. restlin.

Estate agent, king's road...

In charge?

I don't like walking
in on another...

From what I can gather,
sergeant wilks will

uncle's calming influence.

Oh, so it's Jim, is it?

Well look, sir, Jim's
3 first class lad.

Knows what he's
doing, all right.

I'm sure he does.

But we just can't ignore this.

Yes, of course.

Sir, I've managed

of family problems.

This is our problem, Fred,
I'm asking you to into

yes, sir.

It might have worse, you know.

I could have you
to miss that football.

In which case, I might have had
bring my retirement forward.

I don't know what more
I could have done.

Around anything.

This is all that was stolen.

I suppose we could
description of those leases,

but to whom?

Do you know any lease receivers?

Well, what's eating
this restlin character?

Fingerprint wacky.

Well, all right anyway.

All long-term here.

No, short one, John Campbell.

Month, available 28th of April.

Three days.

You know, I can't accept this.

You put sugar in it?

No, I remembered.

Yes.

Well, if a man wants
run out on a lease,

why doesn't he just run?

Except if there's no lease,
he can't be accused of it.

Yes, but he can be nicked
for breaking and entering.

I shall try and get more
details on these short leases.

It's your case, my boy.

I've only been brought
in as a mediator.

Restlin estate office.

It's on the report sheet.

I don't know which I

or a fat paunch.

You don't suppose
seeing if somebody's

using the house for stolen
goods or for a hideout?

This would
way to draw attention to it.

Unless somebody's
handwriting trouble.

A lease would have
handwriting on it.

Now, if somebody
didn't want a specimen

their handwriting

[phone rings]

That'll be your friend.

Well, I'd say mediator, this

perfect moment to mediate.

[Phone rings]

Hello. Mr. restlin?

This is the cid, sir.

And if anything fishy's going
on, I want to know about it...

Yes, sir.

Yes, of course, yes.

Well, there's
his way down to you now.

In the meantime,
anyone with a short-term

listed on your...

Only John Campbell.

Yes, we saw that.

Well, look, sir,
we come and pick you up and go

and have a look at that house?

Well, I don't
anything the matter,

sir, but if it's...

Fine.

We'll be there in five minutes.

Right.

You can take uncle for a drive.

Look, Fred,
I wouldn't feel at all

hurt if you took
this job completely...

Get your coat on,

it's your case and my rest day.

2 o'clock, you'll be doing

your own duty
upstanding and promising

police force.

Right?

Right, sir.

I'll be getting
to watch the kickoff.

[Dog barking]

Was something funny about

tenby took an applicant
yesterday

to look over the place,
it was all locked up.

Probably out

[knocking loudly]

One home today either.

We'll have
your key, Mr. restlin.

Mrs. Campbell?

[Knocking loudly]

Anyone at... anyone at home?

Mrs. Campbell?

Well, they don't seem
to like fresh air.

Doesn't look as if they've
left for good, does it?

Locked.

Mrs. Campbell?

Js doesn't stand for Campbell.

They're not in.

In the garage.

Mrs. Campbell!

You think's happened, hmm?

I don't know, Mr. restlin.

Probably nothing.

But while we're here, we might
as well take a look round.

Well, why

I'm in my right
showing people over.

Can't have done flip, can

I mean, not with those
cases still there.

Well, it shouldn't you.

The in advance, didn't

that's right.

I got the rent.

Hey, about the gas,
light, telephone?

Got the meters read.

If they've lumbered
gas, light, and telephone...

Something's been

if somebody's mixed
up chlorophyll with it.

Well, personally I don't
this continental cooking.

Neither does Mrs. c
by the look of it.

Not much food around.

Jar of coffee, a couple of tins.

Must lived much day by day.

I have been lumbered.

The meters haven't been
checked since they came in.

You've got something this.

I'm I'm at reading meters.

And they've left
the furnace out.

You feel it, ice cold.

Is the furnace, sir?

In the garage.

Oh.

Know what month's gas, light,

and telephone can me?

You've got pay for this.

We don't know coming yet.

You don't have the furnace
if you're coming back.

Quite right, sir.

What have we got upstairs?

Bedroom, bath, stair.

I see.

I have thought
quicker you got on your

reported this...

Well, there's really anything

yet, have we, sir?

Oh, that's the spare.

[Door rattling]

[Knocking]

Why is this door locked?

I because somebody locked

[door rattling]

All right, all
right, wait a minute.

Drawers all empty in there.

Now tell me they haven't gone.

Nothing.

They've taken the lot.

Except the suitcases downstairs.

Mrs. Campbell a brunette?

I don't know, I never saw her.

I never saw him,
for that matter.

You rented the place
to him sight unseen?

Tenby rented it to him.

Tenby him.

I see.

What have they been burning?

It's all over the house.

What are you doing?

What's that?

I'd say it's
hacksaw, wouldn't you?

Yeah, a hacksaw with
a handle burnt off.

And a knife.

Well, a damn thing to try burn.

I thinking...

I know what you're thinking.

Mr. restlin, do you

tenby turned it over to the man
for a month with everything.

Linen, silver,
anthracite, everything.

All this stuff yours?

Yes, yes, of course.

This trunk?

I don't know about that.

But if it isn't, I'm going
to keep it, and the suitcase,

everything in them.

This is where your
chlorophyll was coming from.

Here, get me a screwdriver.

If we can open this thing.
Right.

This all right?

I mean, I let you in.

I don't want to get into trouble
for breaking and entering.

Doesn't the law say you
have to have a warrant

for this sort of thing?

The law expects its
officers to have imagination

discretion, Mr. restlin.

If they didn't, you'd
be nabbed every time

committed a murdering
instead of getting a caution.

What's all that?

Stand sir.

Wha... oh...

My god.

[Alarm ringing]

Better back it up to the garage.

What is it?

Severed corpse.

Nice people.

Ambulance, Jim.

We finished.

Check with the doc.

All right with me.

Move everything?

Sooner we
pathologist on it, the better.

When it happened?

Anywhere from three
might be longer.

She attempted dismember.

Any idea what she looked like?

Well, it's not
under the circumstances.

Was any surgical skill involved?

None whatever.

It knows nothing about anatomy,

less than a butcher.

Me, sir.

And what's that?

Ashes furnace, sir.

Good.

They go straight
to forensic labs.

Have they marked them?

Yes, sir.

All right, off you go.

Can you help us with
the cause of death?

It's pretty hard to determine
till we find the rest.

We're working on now.

Unless it's poison.

We'll know that the hospital.

Oh, now, just a minute...

Evening argus, inspector.

You ought to better than trample

over that ground like that.

It's the body of girl, isn't it?

Just your

was she pretty?

I wouldn't know.

Mrs. Campbell I'm told.

Yeah, what I'm told.

Now, come on.

A good fellow.

Do you know where we
could reach Mr. Campbell?

If you find you can tell me.

Sarge, away anybody
hasn't business here.

You mind? There's nothing

does that mean you
think he did it?

We don't know who's done it.

I'd appreciate if you
wouldn't smoke around here.

I don't my fellows bringing
in of your butt ends.

It might us.

We can cope with this lot,
but when the word gets round,

I don't know. All right.

Ask for some more men.

Taking an inventory?

Room by room as we go.

Anything in there?

Doesn't look like it.

All off the peg stuff you
can buy practically anywhere.

Well, the laundry may help.

Oh, get these off to
the labs, will you?

Brunette hair and
grains of face powder.

They may be able
to localize her.

Not that.

Looks like Brighton will have to
play without their cheerleader.

I don't see what's
so funny about that.

I paid over the odds for this.

Uncle Fred.

Upstanding of the police force,

wasn't that rather unethical?

Unethical
you calling me uncle Fred

when I'm an inspector on duty.

I'm sorry, sir.

You're not half
as sorry as I am.

You want the rest of this up?

It's as hard as a rock, and
no sign of any recent digging.

No.

Did you get another patrol?

On its way now.

Well, when it arrives,
your lunch.

Take anybody else you can spare.

Right, gov.

Afternoon, ma'am.

I'm detective inspector
fellows, Brighton police.

Well, what's going on?

I mean, all those police
and that ambulance?

Oh, a little trouble
those what's their names.

Campbells?

I'm not surprised.

You've them, course, Mrs. uh...

Flora banks.

Only once.

That was enough.

When was that?

Couple of Sundays ago.

Mr. banks I neighborly call.

It was tea time and she
was still in curlers.

That sort of woman.

How would you describe her?

Well, you've her.

Touching 30, being generous.

Brunette.

Wore lipstick even with curlers.

That sort of woman.

And the husband?

She calls him that.

I she didn't wedding ring.

But have you seen him?

Well, not really.

He never gets home till
after dark, about 8 o'clock.

His car straight
into the garage.

You get in that way.

Yes, I know.

Usually only
hours, then he's off again.

So you've never really
seen him during the day?

Only once.

Thursday Friday.

Morning or afternoon?

Afternoon.

I happened to be taking
curtains down,

and I saw a car
coming up the road,

like it was that
police car there.

What sort of car was it?

A gray one, a saloon.

Would you know the make?

No, but it wasn't a Ford,
'cause that's what we've got.

It up in front of a grocery
delivering there.

Did you recognize the Van?

No.

That was the only time I
ever saw it delivering there.

Well, out Mr.
Campbell, big as life,

a vacuum cleaner in his hand.

You describe him?

I couldn't say much
about his face.

He was pretty far off.

Tall?

Sort of.

Slender.

What kind of clothes?

A Fawn overcoat and a brown hat.

Age?

A bit older than she was.

You don't know what
man was delivering?

Provisions of some sort.

She at the door in
dressing gown again.

Didn't to care,
in front of the tradesman.

What about the tradesman.

Had you ever seen him before?

If not here, in or locally?

I really don't
contact with deliverymen.

My husband takes me shopping.

Tell me about the Van.

Was it a big one, a small one?

Medium.

Didn't Mr. Campbell again?

Oh, yes, I did.

He was in about 20 minutes,

suddenly
again in his shirtsleeves.

So you must have seen
the color of his hair.

Dark, I'd say.

Well, back into his
it into the garage.

He left there, oh, an
hour and a half later.

'Cause the doors
garage were closed that long.

Ooh!

Ambulance.

Now, the Thursday before
good Friday was the 19th.

You quite sure about that date?

Absolutely.

I telling Mr.
Stocked up for easter.

Mr. Campbell never
came back for easter?

Oh, yes.

Usual that evening.

This time,
till after we'd gone to bed.

Off again in morning, though.

And that's the last you
saw of either of them?

Yes.

Mind you, they
have been around a lot

I wasn't looking.

I don't spend my time
prying, you know.

But I'm caretaker
of these caravans

and I have to keep an eye open.

Yes, of course.

Well, your help, Mrs. banks.

Something terrible, hasn't he?

Well, say he hasn't
behaving himself well, eh?

Hmm.

Now, move along, please.

Move along.

Don't park there.

If you drive straight along, you
can take the first to the left.

Go to lunch?

Yes, sir, we're
others away in shifts.

Call the super, will you?

Ask him to put out a special.

Which grocery store a delivery

April the 19th.

April 19.

Fingerprints going?

All we got so of smudges

that aren't any good.

He must have wiped
the lot with a towel.

Door frames, doors, the lot.

I'm going restlin.

Give him my love.

You'd better get
checking the hardware shops.

Find where hacksaw came from.

I was just sending
it to the labs.

I see.

In doubt, labs, eh?

Well, is that

no.

Great thing this
forensic science.

As it doesn't make this lazy.

[Laughs]

[Dishes clattering]

Ah, are you eating alone?

Mind if I join you?

Yes, please.

Mr. restlin went home.

Feeling

was it really a murder?

Well, there was a body, but we
don't know yet how she died.

No, I don't use them, thanks.

As from this week.

They tell me to suck one of
these anytime I want to smoke.

Trouble is, when I've
one, I want a cigarette.

Haven't been much myself.

Can I get you something?

I'm on a diet.

Mr. restlin was telling
you handled this deal.

I wish I hadn't now, believe me.

I expect you want to
go back to the office.

No, no, you finish your coffee.

Mr. restlin for what happened.

Gas, light,
telephone especially.

He's feeling pretty
bad about that.

I certainly couldn't
anything wrong with the man.

Can you remember anything
about his looks and manner?

Peculiarities might have had?

And times will
tell me a lot too.

Are easy.

We've looking up.

Mr. restlin for the afternoon

another

peculiarities, I don't know.

He was pretty well dressed,
better than I could afford.

Tan overcoat, plaid scarf.

Plaid, I think.

Wearing

no hat.

He had dark hair.

In his 30s, I'd say.

Than me, about 5' 11".

Hmm.

Shall we go? Yes.

Where did he come from?

I mean, what was
his last address?

Unfortunately, we don't

I asked for it,
of course, but he

he was in
hotels all over the country.

I gathered he was a salesman
and moved around a lot.

Well, we may
help from his references.

All in his application form.

What car was he using?

He didn't have one.

Or if he did, he must
have parked it somewhere.

I drove him out to
the house in mine.

Anything there interest him

we never went in.

He seemed satisfied
with the outside.

In fact, I got the
feeling he only drove

he was expected to.

Mrs. Campbell?

Only that he'd
extra key for his wife.

I got the impression they
were fed up with hotels

wanted to try
housekeeping for a change.

Don't close it.

Ah, I was just off.

All finished.

Here, do favorite, will you?

Next time, have a
go at the big one.

This is Mr. Campbell's
application form.

Itisn't very well
filled out, I'm afraid.

It was all done in such a hurry.

That's the reference.

Gary hardware company
in Manchester.

Wanted to sign right away.

He had the cash out as
soon as we got back.

I can't see any
character references.

He said anyone at Gary from the

would be glad to vouch for him.

Did you check that?

Mr. restlin
bother, because we it up

it was a reputable firm.

So it looks like Mr.
Restlin made a mistake.

This Campbell's writing?

No, I'm afraid it's mine.

I just asked him a few
questions as a matter of form,

wrote answers down myself.

May I use your phone?

Of course.

You see, that particular house
been empty since November.

And I knew Mr. restlin...

Information.

Wouldn't want to lose the let.

So I wasn't being too fussy.

No Campbell's handwriting?

Only his signature on the
lease, and that's gone.

Probably why it's gone.

This is fellows.

Get off a telex to Manchester.

John Campbell.

Hair, slim, 511", age 30 to 40,

employed Gary
company, your city.

[Clicking]

[Police radio chatter]

We know where the
trunk was sent from.

It's on the underneath.

Freight label.

Lewes.

That makes life a little easier.

Our station can't
trunks in lewes.

Why, do you want to check
these with the station master?

Why, are you retiring
or something?

I'm still on operation hardware.

[Knocking]

Chasing bloody hacksaw.

Two new bits of information.

Well, we can do with some.

Only things they agree on so far
is dark hair and an overcoat.

Trunk train march 31.

That's lewes rail charge.

Is anyone on these yet?

No, they've only
just been printed.

Why they're all sir.

Yes, only thing

that's all wet round here.

Now, now, come off it, gov.

What time have I had?

I'm out chasing that hacksaw.

So what are you doing here?

Well, a policeman
sometimes, you know.

Well, go.

Don't start hopping
about in here.

You like trains. What's that?

More no joy from Manchester.

Their John Campbell
Saint-tropez the day our John

Campbell rented the house.

[Phone rings]

Fellows.

Yes?

Harris, sir.

I'm speaking from peck's
grocery shop on drive.

This is the place that
sent an order to Campbell

Thursday the 19th.

Deliveryman's still
expected minute.

Good.

You hold him there.

I'll be right

we the deliveryman.

[Seagulls squawking]

Back yet, sir.

Right.

Mr. peck?

Good afternoon.

I'm inspector fellows.

Oh, are you?

Well, let me tell you, I
don't like this at all.

You'll get me a bad name with
that stigma about out there.

You know, Mr. funny thing.

The people who look on
police as a stigma,

usually the first ones to dial

999 slightest pretext.

I have never dialed 999.

Well, let's hope you
never have to, eh?

Look, Andy's not back yet.

You're wasting your time.

Tell me, sir, Campbell order.

You make to them?

Just that one.

She up, and we delivered.

All this hullabaloo
13 and fourpence

ha'penny worth of groceries.

You people should be stopping
some of these robberies

instead of wasting your...

Good afternoon.

Two packets of crisps.

Certainly, sir.

No, and that's

oh, I have that packet
of raisins, Ted?

No.

You'll get them all shirt again.

Your own fault anyway.

Well, you can't 'em.

Empties to

15 raw Crescent.

Anything else?

You're wanted.

You Andy?

That's right.

Andy roach.

I'm a police officer.

Can't you do it in the office?

Do what?

Nothing to worry about.

Just a few questions.

Questions?

Remember delivering groceries

named Campbell,
number bungalow road, just

before easter?

Campbell?

Hey, that's the Judy who what
got herself done, isn't it?

You do remember.

Sure, I remember.

Oh, I telling Mr.

I gave the stuff to the
creep who killed her.

He paid me.

He them with the
hands he killed her with.

We don't killed her, Andy.

Oh.

Now, look, suppose you tell me

you bet.

It's the only time I
ever went up there.

I ring the bell,
there's this Judy, see.

And she doesn't have

so out comes this creep, and
he says, ok, how much is it?

I said... oh, well,
I don't know how much.

And he pays me and
gives me a tip.

Last I see of him, he's
carrying the box into the house.

Ever seen him before or since?

Never.

I've got like photographic like.

He was in his 30s somewhere.

Looked sort of he'd
been around, you know.

Probably had.

Was a kind happy-go-lucky type.

Smiling.

Wore a hat and overcoat.

What color?

Ah, now you got me.

You see, though I've
photographic memory,

like in black white,
on account of I'm color blind.

His car, you remember that?

Ah, something I'm photographic

was it a light or a dark color?

Light.

You know, when my Judy hears
about me and all this...

Make, Andy?

Huh?

The car.

An a3551960 saloon, and the
nearside front wing was dented.

And it's been in
and out of this town

for the best part of a month.

Must bought oil,
must bought petrol.

L'want six men out
covering all service

galleries starting from the
town center and fanning out.

Somebody must have his car.

[Intercom buzzes] Yes?

Sergeant wilks calling
from the station.

Right.

Remember the trunk the girl.

On the 12:02
lewes April the 2nd.

Only passenger off.

She had two suitcases
left by a cab.

We're trying
trace the driver now.

Looks like we have him.

I'll call you back later.

Sam Lawson, he drove the lady.

Hello, Sam.

I'll you now.

I can't help you.

I just drove her up to the
camp and dropped her.

What about the window chat, Sam?

Girl in your cab,
you don't even window chat?

Nah, nothing.

Never said a word.

She was married.

Looked for the ring first.

What are you trying to
prove, I'm a sex maniac?

She said she was married.

A salesman in
hardware or something.

I don't know, cares.

I care, Sam.

Girl's dead.

Yeah, I know.

I can read.

Is it all right if I carry
on with my living now?

Ok, Sam.

I may need you later.

All right?

I think we're a little
further, Mr. Jackson, thanks.

Anything else I can do?

You phone for me, lewes station.

Say I'm on my way if they
could be looking up for me.

Right. Pleasure.

[Whistle screeching]

Good afternoon.

Sergeant wilks, police.

Called us.

What a terrible business.

Not very pleasant.

Here we are.

March 31.

Charlie.

She filled in the label herself.

Stuck it on the trunk.

Just you're standing.

I don't suppose you
know who she was?

Mrs. Campbell.

Ah, yes, of course.

Helped them unload

them?

Right, sir.

Tall dark bloke.

They brought it in

what sort of truck?

Bloody dirty one.

Full of dust or something.

Any name in it?

Some name.

I was too busy trying to
keep it off my uniform.

It was all right for him,
he was in an overall.

Should

did the man call
her by any name?

I tell you.

Think, man.

Think hard.

Did he use a first name at all?

June?

I'm asking you, Charlie.

'Cause it might have
been Jean, or even Joan.

It wasn't anything like

how could it be,
starting with j?

Well, this is my name.

If the [inaudible]
slips, perhaps

you'll give me a call
police headquarters.

Yes, sir.

Orwas it Jane?

[Bicycle bell ringing]

Well, have you had any luck?

Well, only that the trunk
from here, sir.

It seems to point at
js being a local girl.

I've already told
reported missing.

Quite possible hasn't been yet.

If the girl expected to
stay away for three months,

she'd made the
excuses to friends or family.

What are you going to do now?

I'd like to check all
in your phone

you mean? Call them up?

Yes, sir.

If that doesn't something,

I'll take all alphabetically.

Good god, there'll
be hundreds of them.

I shouldn't think so
in a town this size.

I suppose you our phones.

Well, that idea, sir.

If you could spare
men, it wouldn't...

Couple of men?

You drunk with power.

Couple of men?

That's 10% of my entire force.

How would you like to run
a town this size on 19 men?

I quite understand, sir.

Uh, if you'll use the phone?

All right, make your calls.

But be brief.

I don't like my lines tied up.

Longer than necessary, sir.

[Clicking]

[Phones ringing]

[Chatter]

[Phones ringing]

No, this is the foreman.

Mr. Shaw doesn't live here.

Speaking, please?

Oh, I see.

The 31st of march?

Minute, you?

Maisy. What?

It's the police.

Which one?

Know if any female
member of mr Shaw's family

left town on or around
the 31st of march?

Somebody's having you on, mate.

No, it's straight up.

Hello?

Look, I think you'd better
ask the boss himself.

No, he's not in the book.

Hold on.

It's Louis 7450.

You're welcome.

Well, we've been
embarrassment of riches

this evening.

I mean, one on the
phone one in person.

You are certainly
buzzing tonight.

We've buzzing all day too.

And what can we do you for?

And no female relation
of mine has left town,

I'm sorry to say.

We're interested in gray

with a dented front wing.

Might come in
during the last month.

Ooh, you're picking a popular
color, haven't you, chum?

Plenty of a55 grays.

I don't wing, though.

Nah.

The driver would have dark hair.

Man in his middle 30s.

He might have worn a brown
hat and a Fawn overcoat.

Nah.

If doesn't
man, he hasn't been here.

Oh, ha bleeding ha.

Might you

Mechanics have gone.

I couldn't swear to it myself.

Still, it'd be in

Hello, kg.

Church street, your area.

Inquiries there.

Kg over.

Yes, we got that.

Kg 14 proceeding
to church street.

Over.

Uh, excuse me, sir.

I won't keep you a moment.

I'm a police officer.

All right.

Um, we're just
the origin of a few items.

I understand, sir, this, um,

saw is a brand only you stock.

Is that right?

Right. Mm-hmm.

It could only purchased here?

If it was bought
in Brighton, yes.

This knife?

Oh, you can buy those anywhere.

What, have they been
in a fire or something?

It could

could have.

Rotary club.

We've got...

Yes, I understand sir,
this is very important.

You recall having sold a knife

like this
in the last four weeks?

We sell a whole lot of knives
of one kind or another.

What about the saw?

How many of those have you
sold this month of that kind?

Six, seven.

Popular make.

But then we sell
a lot of other...

If we go through
your sales slips,

possibly pinpoint
dates, couldn't we?

I'm afraid we don't slips.

Everything is cash...

Oh, on, sir.

Now, you cash register
turns out slips, doesn't it?

Our cash register
is a cash drawer.

We the 5 of change.

In the evening, up what

subtract 5 our daily take.

In other words, you
don't keep books.

Oh, we most certainly do.

They show total amount

we took in any given day.

Won't individual purchases.

I see.

Well, I'm kept you.

Goodnight, sir.

Goodnight, officer.

I wish I could have
been more help.

You wait all day for a
break, and when you get it,

not worth bloody beans.

Evening, Joe.

Evening, Mr. fellows.

I see we've had another murder.

You can say that again.

5-3 on our own ground.

That's not a murder,
Joe, that's a massacre.

Sir.

Well, I thought you'd
le touquet or something.

You me information, remember?

You ought to
encyclopedia by now.

It feels like I've
been through one.

I phoned 18 pages ses. And?

Nobody knows anything
about the girl.

I can try later.

What about the truck?

I think we've got a lead.

Good boy.

All right, page,
you can sign off.

Know I've
sergeant wilks, will you?

Very good, sir.

Go on, in you get.

While you're making your
report, you take me for a drive.

Drive?

Where to?

The murder house.

I want to give it a going over.

It's already been covered.

Not by me it hasn't.

You don't trust anybody, do you?

I trust you, Jim,
but I'm just not

the executive type, that's all.

I want to see everything myself.

The matter, you got a date?

I'm thinking of becoming a monk.

[Car approaching]

Evening, sir.

Evening, Daniels.

Any trouble?

No, sir.

Of sightseers hour ago,

but I chased them off.

Never could understand
morbid curiosity.

Don't burn your glove, will you?

I don't think your
truck driver's Campbell.

Well, he fit
Campbell's description.

But if he's got a
truck and she's got

a trunk, why send it by train?

Brighton's less
20 minutes' drive.

Why didn't it right here?

He didn't want
to be seen with her.

How would he explain
to the girl?

Anyway, I'll get lewes working
on all construction and cement

trucks, even if I
am being a clod.

Well, I've got a feeling
we're all being clods.

Must be a clue somewhere
staring us right in the face,

and I'm damned if I can see it.

Wondering this.

Does it work?

I don't know.

Why?

Just why they'd
need another vacuum cleaner.

Were there any others

no.

Should there be?

Well, the saw Campbell

arrive with another one.

Does Gary hardware
sell vacuum cleaners?

Hey, that's a point.

Explain couldn't it?

I mean, there
John Campbell at Gary's.

Couldn't be one, obviously,

but our boy would
have known about it.

Especially if he'd there. Yes.

Well, we'll start
rolling in the morning.

Right now, I want to take
another look upstairs.

Why don't you try
your no replies again?

If restlin this,
he'd get an ulcer.

Say yy a d n

make a note on the pad.

He can send us a bill.

[Phone dialing]

Hello?

Is that Louis 6990...

[Phone hanging up]

[Phone dialing]

Are you 7893...

[Phone hanging up]

[Footsteps approaching]

Your ability tell you this?

Do you think this
is where he did it?

Well, where I'd
there was no blood.

I'd say it had to be here.

Yes, it seems so.

I'm pretty ignorant, you
see, which saves you saying

suppose you wait four
before doing anything.

Would bleeding, blood congealed?

I pass.

Macfarlane's that answer.

Well, I'm hoping
give us a lot of answers.

You get your numbers?

Nobody's her.

Like chasing a shadow.

I beginning to that she borrowed

luggage and her initials
don't have j or s in them.

Must be her suitcases, Jim.

Who are you going to borrow
luggage from for a month?

Here, smell those.

As a man of the

perfume.

I know it's perfume,
I'm not that senile.

I mean what kind of perfume.

You don't give study perfume.

I don't know.

They're certainly
both different.

They are.

Lots of women one perfume.

Yes, but how often do
they use two bedrooms?

This pillow from the other room.

One or two bedrooms,
the answer's

going to find Campbell.

If we get enough
answers to enough questions,

we'll find John Campbell.

Kind I'd like are, one,

why did he steal that lease?

If he hadn't, the body
would still be undiscovered.

Two, why did he halfway
through disposing of the body?

Did he have cold feet?

Either that or a weak stomach.

Oh, I see.

You're dust again.

Well, I hate doing it,

get someone on it
in the morning.

Dust from separate.

You better empty
that vacuum cleaner too.

Ask the labs to

great thing, forensic science.

Look, I don't want to mess
up my retirement by kicking

sergeant in the pants.

So you better come
back to my place

I'll fry you some
COD's roe instead.

Uh, Fred, I'd like to,
but, uh, I do have a date.

Oh, yes I forgot.

You monks get around.

At least I had a date.

Well, if she doesn't
learn how to wait,

the girl for a copper.

Don't restlin's lights.

Did you note your phone calls?

You don't really
think that restlin's

going to ask us to pay for
two local phone calls, do you?

Listen, if I
anything about restlin,

he's just the sort of fellow...

You use this pad?

No.

Something's written on
the sheet above this one.

You can still see
the indentations.

Anything legible?

Your inventory turn up
iodine in this house?

Iodine.
Yes, in bathroom, I think.

Get it.

[Hissing]

[Footsteps approaching]

Yeah, it's about half full.

What's this trick?

Here, you hold that.

You better get a handkerchief.

It's going to get hot.

Over the flame.

This was before we
had forensic labs.

Where did you learn this?

Detective novels.

It'll probably
pints of milk, please.

It doesn't 3, southampton 5.

Jean sherman, greenwich. Voila.

Missing girl.

Nice of her to leave
her name and address.

Sir.

A car coming down the road.

Well, we can't

yes, sir, but driving very slow,

and I think it's a gray saloon.

What?

I saw it as it
came over the hill.

[Car idling]

Can I help you, sir?

Jumping mackerel.

You scared daylights out of me.

Evening argus.

I've assigned to this case.

Well, that's a coincidence.

I've been assigned to it too.

We finished in there.

Your relief along any time now.

Sir.

I rather hoped I might go
to look round the house?

A wonderful thing, Mr. hilders.

I don't know what we'd
all do without it.

Well, can you give me anything?

I mean, I know something
going on.

You've got patrol town like

stole the constables golf clubs.

If there's anything announce,

you'll get it in the morning
at the 10 o'clock conference.

I see.

Well, thanks for

you know, the fact
that your car's an mg

is the biggest break
you've had in a long time.

Well, whatever I didn't

smoke? Thank you, sir.

Well, is there anything
you can tell me?

As a matter of
fact, sir, there is.

Car unattended engine running

is an offense under
the road traffic act.

If I were you, sir, I'd
either switch off or push off.

Yes.

Well, I can this isn't my night.

[Bell ringing 10

[Chatter]

[Knocking]

[Inaudible] You

his favorite writers are here.

Villainous
bunch, if I may say so.

Feel free.

To tell

in the whole house?

Nothing usable, sir.

Anything new on

well, I've got men
registration authorities.

They'll be compiling a list
all a55s registered within a 40

mile radius of the house.

[Knocking]

Yes?

Your conference, sir.

All right, in a minute.

We can't even give them
the cause of death, can we?

Only that it wasn't poison.

Pathologist

may I see?

Cuse me.

By blow on head, strangulation,

brain hemorrhage.

Impossible to ascertain
missing parts.

Which we haven't found.

Time of death, 30 hour period
between Friday afternoon

Saturday evening.

This still be reduced.

In the third of pregnancy.

Gives a possible motive.

It could be.

Do her parents know yet?

No, sir.

I'm off to greenwich as
soon as you finish with me.

Well, we've
bloodhounds out there.

What don't we tell them?

Girl's identity, sir.

I wouldn't like ringing her

until I've spoken to them.

Well, can probably
have that later.

I wouldn't like
to read about the a55.

I don't want the murderer
spraying that

running it into the river.

In other words, we nothing
new to tell them at all.

Except that she was

I'm afraid they'll
make a meal of that.

Come in now.

Yes, sir.

All yours, gentlemen.

Thank you.

Well, I didn't think
be that lucky.

Better it to tenby, Mrs.
Banks, deliveryman.

Might as well make it official.

I suppose you're
off to greenwich.

Yes.

The only thing I about this job.

Ringing strange doorbells
bringing news.

Where's Jim?

To lewes to find that truck.

Hmm.

While I'm gone, you
can call Manchester.

Names of all
hardware representatives

covered this county
past three months,

plus a list of all men who
work or have worked there.

Gov.

See if they sell
vacuum cleaners.

Are we off?

We're off.

And do me a favor, will you?

Get me to greenwich without
frightening the life out of me.

[Horns blaring]

Wait a minute.

We passed it.

[Knocking]

Oh, good morning.

Is there a miss Jean
sherman known here?

Yes.

You mind if I speak to
her parents for a moment,

father perhaps?

Your mother?

She's dead six years.

What do you want?

Are you her sister?

You're police, aren't you?

Is it that obvious?

Happened?

I'm I can only

Well, if it's about me, I
feel I have a right to know.

You?

Yes.

I'm Jean sherman.

Well, I'd better
introduce myself.

I'm inspector fellows.

I see.

You'd better come in, then.

Thank you.

Now, would you tell
me what this is all about?

Well, maybe you can tell me.

What do you know about a man
calls himself John Campbell?

Nothing at all.

Why?

Know anybody by that name?

No, I don't.

Then by what name do you know
the man who lives at number

road, saltdean?

I don't anybody in saltdean.

I don't even know where it is.

Well; It's 5 miles Brighton.

What's all this

got this you, miss sherman.

Your name and
were found written down

on the phone pad in that house.

Well, I'm sure I don't
know how it got there.

You've never known a man by
the name of John Campbell...

Never.

Tall, hair, middle 30s...

No!

Have you recently, say
within the last month,

man, doesn't
matter what his name was,

description I gave you?

I keep house for my father.

I don't get much
chance to meet men.

You haven't been out with
any men for the past month?

I haven't been
any men for the past year.

I see.

I ask what doing last weekend?

I spent easter with my
sister and her husband.

And they live?

In Brighton.

Would you care to write down
her name and address for me?

Why not.

You'll find I there, all right.

All and Sunday?

I went down morning,
back Sunday night.

You were here all week?

I'm always here.

Thank you.

You know something,
miss sherman?

I'd small any handwriting

willing to samples

written by the same person.

What two samples?

That other writing?

Your hame and address.

Paper we in mr Campbell's house.

Oh no.

Would you like to tell

miss, thing

withhold information
likely to be

assistance to the police.

Sergeant.

[Crying]

Aw, now.

Come on.

Nothing to

this is sergeant unwin.

You just sit back
there and relax.

Here.

[Train whistle blowing]

I don't usually go
letting men up.

I'm not the type who
interest men anyway.

But he was different.

Really interested in me.

Now, why don't you
tell us the whole thing

just as it happened.

He was so nice and...

Well, cozy.

He invited me to have lunch
him and drive out somewhere.

You first meet him?

On the train.

You went to Brighton?

Yes.

I... I caught
o'clock from Victoria,

and sat opposite a woman
who got out at croydon.

It was the last stop
before Brighton.

I thought I was
have the carriage to myself.

But that's where John got on.

Mr. Campbell like?

I thought he looked very...

Well, good looking.

He eyes with a sort of twinkle.

Suddenly me if he could smoke.

It was the first time I
realized it was a non-smoker.

Very flattering.

Said it was lucky he hadn't got
in with some old trout instead

attractive girl like me.

Did he have any kind of accent?

No.

It was just a warm,
friendly voice.

So you talking.

He was very easy to talk to.

Charming.

I never met a man as
charming as he was.

What about his clothes.

Were good quality?

I suppose so.

Sports jacket slacks.

He looked nice.

Where you to lunch?

He didn't.

I told him I couldn't go.

My sister would lunch
everything.

He said he just had
to see me again.

Didn't want our friendship
suddenly just like

got to Brighton.

Did 1, really.

Because... well, I don't
boyfriends.

He was this
charming, attractive man,

I wouldn't see him again.

But you did.

If he couldn't out Saturday,

we drink Sunday

evening before I
return to London.

[Steam hissing]

We to 6:30 telephone booth

at the end of platform seven.

[Whistle blowing]

I waited until 10
to 7:00, and I was

he'd forgotten about me.

Suddenly I him.

I was so glad, I...

Well, it meant something.

He took me to some cocktail bar.

It seemed very romantic, and
I felt gay and sort of free.

Well, we talked like we'd
known each other all our lives.

And then somehow...

I don't know how it
he was suggesting

I go back to his place.

We have supper candlelight.

He was a very good cook.

He'd put morning train.

I suppose I should be insulted.

I don't know, something.

But I'm not.

I'm not even shocked.

[Laughs] In fact, in a way,
I'm of flattered, John.

I mean, someone like
you could invite

dozens of girls
back to your place,

and they'd all go like a shot.

[Laughs] If you couldn't

so, I... I'm flattered you
me, but I don't think so.

Now you're laughing at me.

[Blowing]

If I'd affair before,

and I had to say I hadn't.

I felt very unattractive
and could have cried.

Then he put his hand on mine,
and he said he was glad.

Most women of my age had
had too many affairs,

but now, he said,
time was fleeting,

if I didn't grasp
life while I had a chance,

I might regret it for
as long as I live.

So he drove you to the
house in a gray car.

I don't know.

I too... oh, nervous, I suppose.

While you were in

you saw all the rooms?

Most of them.

Not all of them?

Next to the bedroom was locked.

The room at the back?

No, the front.

The back room was his bedroom.

I see.

He say why it was locked?

He used it as an office.

It was full papers or something.

I imagine what you think of me.

I think you extremely foolish

you knew nothing about.

May we use your phone?

Of course.

Better this to the super.

Don't think I wasn't full
of worries and doubts.

I knew if I said no,
I'd never see him again.

If I said yes, there
might be other times.

Who knows, he might even
fall in love with me.

Have you heard from him since?
No.

64141.

What did your suitcases?

What suitcases?

Well, I presume
luggage to Brighton?

Yes, of course.

One suitcase.

I don't know what you mean
what did I do with it.

I brought it home.

May I see it?

Yes.

It's the only one I've got.

I've it for years.

Inspector fellows
calling greenwich.

Is the super there?

About a green trunk?

You mean do I have one?

I don't have any trunk.

No, sir, this is unwin.

Just a minute, please.

Cuse me.

Hello, sir.

Well, I'm afraid we're
back where we started.

Girl's alive.

Yes, sir, I'm there now.

Tomorrow morning?

Well, they'll
postpone it, then, won't

yes, sir, I that, but we don't

enough for an inquest.

Inquest?

Inquest on

I'm sorry, miss.

Don't even the cause of death.

Right.

I'm going to the
yard on my way back.

I'll call you from there, sir.

Is he dead?

No, miss, thought you were.

What do you mean?

It wasn't papers
keeping in that locked room.

It was the dead body
of another woman.

No...

If you'd

would have killed you too.

It isn't true.

No...

Oh now, come on.

It's going to be all right.

There's nothing...

No!

Now, please.

Now, try and get hold of
yourself, miss sherman.

It's all right.

[Crying]

Please.

Now, take it easy.

Nothing please.

Grab her arm.

Grab it.

[Crying]

In there.

W ater.

All right, miss sherman.

Now, take it easy.

Take it easy now.

Nothing to worry about.

[Breathing heavily]

Turn her over.

I don't believe you!

Now, take it easy.

Take it easy.

There, that's better.

That's much better.

Now, come on.

Let me wipe your face now.

I can't stand it.

I wish I were dead.

No, I shouldn't wish miss.

You've got to consider
yourself lucky to be alive.

I did nothing to him.

Would have killed
me, wouldn't he?

Why don't we go and
sit in the other room

about going to help us, huh?

Help you?

That's right.

Find the number of the local
police and write it down.

You see, your
in catching Campbell

before he harms anyone else.

You don't know where he is?

Well, we little about him.

See, he gone we got there.

Was she his... who was she?

Well, we don't know.

We thought she you.

Now, will you us?

You see, the point
is, if he telephones...

Wouldn't phone.

With the looking for him.

Might, miss sherman.

Judging from the little
know of him,

very well might.

I couldn't talk to him,
on the phone.

He'd something
minute I answered.

You'll try.

And if he wants
to see you, agree

to meet him wherever he says.

Oh, god.

But you won't have to
go there by yourself.

Just let the police know
and they'll be there too.

Now, look, that's

number, that's Scotland yard,
Brighton mine.

Now, come on, cheer up.

You're be all right now?

I'll be all right.

I don't like

What about the
people next door...

I'd rather be alone.

I'm all right now.

Quite all right.

Well, thank you, miss sherman.

Don't hesitate to call me.

[Whistle blaring]

Afternoon, inspector.

I hear they've
postponed the inquest.

Have they now?

Does that mean something
new has come up?

I was hoping you'd tell me.

Well, I might if you
me a chance,

got me blocked.

Well; I'm Mr. hilders.

We always try and
cooperate with the press.

Well, little cooperation now?

Girl in the case?

We don't know.

I don't mean the victim,
I the girl.

Other girl?

I've heard rumors.

Another girl in

he had two women.

Where'd you get that story?

Ah, know I can't reveal
my sources, inspector.

Now, look, if you've
been pumping my

I've doing my job.

Come on, Mr. fellows,
what about the rest of it?

What's her name?

No any girl, and you'd

better not try and print one.

In that case, maybe
you'll let me have

a look at the murder house?

Take along a cameraman,
nice picture spread...

What's this,
blackmail, Mr. hilders?

Just the one good turn...

I'm going to tell
you something, my boy.

You along me, and I'll give

you everything I can news-wise.

If you print anything

just the once, I will personally

the only news you'll
get on this case is what

you from other papers.

Mighty hard handouts you give.

Sorry, sir, it's me.

Oh, in.

Well, the chief's had your
inquest put back

so I heard.

I gather quite a morning.

Well, it wasn't quiet here.

Complied your list of a55s.

You'll be pleased know that

only 20,800 greys in 1960.

12,000 of grampian gray,

8,800 were farina gray.

You know the difference?

I don't even what a grampian is.

Well, we showed this
color chart to Mrs. banks.

She picked farina gray.

Now, there 1,250
grays registered

in this country alone.

Do you know how long
it's going to take

all of these people?

Not long enough for
Campbell to die of old age.

Gorman got your list
of employees.

Now, of them, a Richard
Lester, lives in lewes.

He also owns one of our cars.

In lewes?

Yes, but you can relax.

Been cleared.

Police questioned him.

So did gorman.

Married, four children.

Works in a shirt factory,

nights for the past two months.

Thursday afternoon?

Eh, he was supervising

got
hair and no dents in his car.

Oh.

I know, that's we felt. Now,

you'd better take now.

And the chief wants to see you
before the next press meeting.

Yes, well, I don't want
Campbell knowing anything

sherman girl.

I think let them announce

our js comes from lewes.

We may get from the public.

Do we know she comes from lewes?

No, a fair assumption.

I'm that once we've

found out who the girl is, we'll
have the man within 24 hours.

Release quote to the press?

Oh, I were up here, Fred.

Forensic

huh?

On what?

The ashes from the furnace.

Definitely bone and flesh.

Well, it's nice
we're right something.

Ils gorman in?

He was in there.

Like to put that on my desk?

Sergeant, ask the croydon
police for a check.

I ifa Campbell registered

in any of their hotels
Friday night.

We've got him croydon, have we?

Well, he boarded a train
Saturday morning.

Might have overnight.

Gorman.

Tell me about Richard Lester.

There you go.

Just looking through your...

Richard Lester.

How old is he?

Uh, 37, but he's not our man.

Fit anything
like the description?

He's not our man.

Anything like description,

I'm asking you.

Well, be, I suppose.

But this man...

Yes, he has hair.

I know.

Anyone change his
name change his hair.

I want him rechecked.

We've that, sir.

He was at the
factory from 9 or 10

o'clock evening.

The foreman even showed
me his time sheets.

But what was he doing the
nights he wasn't there?

Staying home.

Who says so?

He does.

And you're going to
take his word for it?

Was factory nights.

I want proof that right man,

and if you can't
get it, I'll have

him brought in for questioning.

If necessary, I'll
him ident parade.

Ils wilks back?

Yes, sir.

Well, on your way out,
tell him I want him.

Don't sulk, ed, I
double checked.

Nearest to a clue yet,

and it ought to
be triple checked.

Course, sir.

Oh, by the way.

The hardware company
doesn't sell vacuum cleaners.

I double checked that too.

[Knocking]

Yes?

Now, I don't sympathy, Fred.

I need it too.

Well, happened to you?

Nothing, that lewes police

beginning sight of me.

No truck?

We questioned builder,
construction firm, sand quarry,

and cement works in the town.

No one took any any station.

I still don't think
was Campbell.

You your lunch?

In the sand quarry.

Yes, sir?

Can you organize a sandwich?

Ham, cheese, anything.

No butter.

You heard about greenwich.

Super held a requiem.

Well, there's
to be defeated about it.

If we get enough nos,
there comes a time

there's only yes

this Agatha christie
would pulled something

brilliant out of the bag.

Yeah, well, I haven't
Agatha christie,

we'll just have
again the beginning.

Have a cigarette.

Thanks.

Ok, so we have a miss or Mrs.
Js who sends a trunk from lewes.

If we accept the luggage
hers, then miss.

Now, the initials
the trunk were old ones.

Those on the suitcases are
new and they're the same.

If she was married,
they'd be different.

Miss js her trunk in saltdean,

by a freak coincidence

succeeded by another miss js.

Js is dead, long live js.

Coincidence, but not a freak.

Js are probably the
commonest initials there are.

So common we can't even
find anybody who knows her.

It simply telephone
wasn't in the family name.

This girl gets around, so she
must have access to a phone.

That makes it a boarding house.

Or she shares a
flat with another

girl, the in girl's name.

Right.

Now, why should a single girl
live in a town like lewes

her family?

She works there.

Yes, in an office factory.

Maybe a factory.

Hey, what's that factory
up by the castle?

That all those girls.

Make stockings.

Nylex?

Nylex.

Now, what do you
doesn't or didn't work there?

I'll go further,
Campbell works too.

Will you buy that?

No, it's not based
on a single fact.

You're out in space, Fred.

No, everything's out in
space, even our ideas.

Why should up a house at all?

Live with her, but just
in the evenings.

Now, don't go naive on me.

All right, he could
where she's living already.

Look, Fred.

Hundreds setting up for hundreds

of girls all over the world...

But not for one month.

It's like the art collector who
paid 500 pounds to an eskimo

beautiful hunk of ice carving,

only when it home, it was
nothing bucket of water.

I mean, what's this girl buying?

[Phone rings]

Hello?

No, who?

Oh, it's Harris.

Yes, Harris.

I'm in lewes, sir.

I've found a that services

a gray a55 with a bent wing.

Think the might
fit Campbell's description.

Yes.

His Clyde burchard.

Lives at number two
street and is there right now.

Go to the lewes police and
tell them I'm coming over.

Send somebody
you to watch the house.

But don't tip the man
off and don't touch

him unless he tries to leave.

[Car approaching]

Burchard's still in there.

It's the first floor.

Good.

Wilks and I will go in.

You stay put.

Tell them.

Right.

You're getting quite

there can't be two like this.

Now, take it easy.

I've been in this game
too long to get excited.

[Doorbell buzzing]

[Doorbell buzzing]

Mr. Clyde burchard?

That's right.

We're police officers.

Just like to
you a few questions.

About what?

Well, I'd rather
inside, if you don't mind.

Well, what

have you read anything
about a body that was

in saltdean yesterday?

No.

Bungalow road was the address.

It was a woman.

She was in a garage in a trunk.

Do you know the place?

No, certainly

what's this got to do with me?

Well, we don't

That's why we

Is that your a55 outside?

Yes.

What about it?

Well, the fellow who
lived in the house

identical car,
bent wing and everything.

What?

Did you rent the
house by any chance?

No, anybody who I did is a liar.

Your occupation, Mr. burchard?

I sell vacuum cleaners.

Supposed illegal or something?

Do you mind the sergeant taking
a look round while we talk?

Yes, I do mind.

You no right to
come in here like this...

You brought in, Mr. burchard.

I could easily send back
for a search warrant.

Mean putting up
with us for another hour or so.

All right,

Have you lived

18 months.

And how much rent do you pay?

Oh, I sleep here.

I don't waste my money
on a place to sleep.

Well, I suppose in your work

Well, you can, but you don't
make much money doing

I was away.

Where?

In London.

How did you get that?

By train.

What train?

6 o'clock, I usually take.

Go to every weekend?

Why?

Well, what do you think
I'm going to do, here?

You're not answering my
question, Mr. burchard.

To have time, of course.

Did you meet anybody
on the train, someone

who could back up your story?

No.

You didn't girl perhaps

and chatted up a little?

No.

What the hell are you doing?

It's quite a harem
you got in here.

All right, so I with girls.

Ils that a crime...

You married, Mr. burchard?

No, I'm not married.

She's the only the right build.

Listen, I don't know anything
any woman in saltdean.

You to tell of these girls?

No, why should I?

Burchard, realize that you're

in something of a jam here.

The house where we found the
dead girl was rented by a man

John Campbell.

Mine's Clyde burchard.

John Campbell.

Wasn't his name, of course.

His name been anything,

including Clyde burchard.

I never any house.

Have you ever been to
prison, Mr.

And we can find out.

Better you tell us yourself.

Once.

What for?

A girl told me she was 18.

You cover houses in
Brighton area?

I go all over the country.

You in saltdean

I haven't covered saltdean.

May I see your record book?

What record book?

Well, of your calls.

You must have a record.

It's in my head.

I don't write that stuff down.

What are you doing in my desk?

Now look, man, more you stall,

deeper you're getting.

If you think I killed
that woman, you're mad.

I've never been to saltdean.

How'd you sell two
vacuum cleaners there?

All right, burchard, get your
your shaving things

if you want.

I'm arresting you.

For what?

Suspicion of murder.

You're not obliged
anything, but whatever you

will be taken down in writing
and may be given in evidence.

With him in
squad car and warn Harris.

Right.

I'll let superintendent know.

You can't hold me.
I haven't done anything.

If you want to call your
lawyer, I have no objection.

Where would I have a lawyer?

Well, we better find a
good one for you quick.

Come on.

All right, I went to saltdean.

Those places are all alike.

Saltdean, rottingdean.

I didn't remember.

You got me mixed up.

Hair, foot, medium build.

You mean how?

Well, why

Claiming I'm Campbell?

Swearing if you want to know.

That's not true!

Once I said I didn't know

And a little star against it.

Am I right?

Don't you see?

That's how
deliveryman saw me there.

It was the first I stopped

So I offer to pay.

Well, this is good business.

She invites me in while
gets the money.

Later you minus a jacket

Well, I didn't sale.

At least not a vacuum cleaner.

That's why there's
against the name.

Means... well, lady was willing.

I count four more stars.

Telling willing?

I don't want think

but a man gets so as he
can tell when he meets

a woman if she'd be interested.

I Campbell interested said,

that was very kind.

How much do I owe you?

Let's see now.

Oh, well I usually included.

In case, we'll the ha'penny.

I'll get my purse.

Hey, don't tell you're of those?

Yep, one of those,
but not one of those.

You wouldn't be mistaken.

It must be hard work your job.

I suppose after a while
you get used to having

doors shut in your face.

They don't shut
interesting people.

May I?

Do you sell many of those?

I do all right.

Yes, well, I have a
cleaner, it fine.

Too bad.

I hoping might do business.

Yes, it is lonely.

During the day, damn lonely.

And you'll never know if
you don't try, will you?

I mean, you've all this way.

You might as well give
me the sales talk.

How long do I have?

A couple of hours.

What's the average
time for a sale?

You don't mind taking off my

I care, and so will that
nosy old cow in the caravan.

You've made your point.

And I'll have that drink.

o'clock, I took off again.

And that's the
truth, I swear it.

You no her again?

No.

Hell no.

Just I've
picked up over the years.

Mr. tenby, sir.

No, not yet!

Sorry, sarge, but Mr. fellows...

All right, mind.

It's done now.

Did you wish to see me?

That's quite

Mr. burchard, Mr. tenby.

How do you do, sir?

Uh, perhaps you'll
wait outside for me?

Yes, of course.

All right, all right, men.

Bring him to my office.

Am I cleared?

Give him his stuff back.

Very good, sir.

You've never seen him before?

No, that's certainly
not the man.

I there slight resemblance,

the mouth, but it's definitely

John Campbell I saw.

Well, thank you
coming in, Mr. tenby.

We may have to
trouble you again.

Certainly.

If it could be out
of office hours.

Mr. restlin is...

Yes, yes, of course.

[Sighs]

[Knocking]

I got the proof.

Of what? Richard Lester.

I talked to his neighbors

he's night, including easter.

Do you want times? No.

Night Campbell
supposed to be in croydon,

this man was at home...

All right, all right.

So he's clean.

Told you that earlier.

There's no point in
losing our tempers.

You can't afford it with me, and
I can't afford it for myself.

What time are you off duty?

Three hours ago.

All right, go home, ed.

Take your shoes off and have
a bottle of beer for me.

[Knocking]

All right, Evans.

Well, burchard, it like a good

telling the truth.

But I want a few more answers.

Sit down.

What sort of a person
this Joan Campbell?

I didn't know her very long.

I'm aware of that.

But you did
character to go with a body.

What was she like?

Easygoing, a neurotic?

Was just permissive?

You must noticed something.

She was... she was interested.

She didn't anything.

What did she talk about?

Trivialities, I don't know.

We didn't talk much.

Tell me about her teeth.

Special caps,
fillings, or crowns?

If were, they didn't show.

She had good teeth.

She wear any rings
or any other jewelry?

A wristwatch.

What kind?

Small, round, golden

how small?

Size of a shilling, sixpence?

Um, between the two.

Nothing else?

Nothing.

All right.

Thanks.

Copy of your statement will
lewes police,

and they'll keep an eye on you.

From now on, I shall sell vacuum

cleaners nothing else.

Yes, sir.

Can I have my record book?

No, I'm holding
to this for a while.

You listen to me, burchard.

You've had
conviction for indecency.

You get another one,
you'll be in real trouble.

So that's Mr. burchard?

Well, I'm not a prude,
but a man like that

makes me want to take a bath.

All right, let's have it.

What else hasn't worked?

Nylex hosiery company.

No jses there for their
staff in the last six months.

And that goes for
six other factories,

12 beauty parlors, 15
chemists, 7 hairdressers.

All right.

So we'll start again.

Beginning to like
perfect murder to me.

Thing murder, my lad.

Somewhere always a flaw.

A leading
from the kill to the killer,

and no matter how well

he's going to leave
more tracks doing it.

We haven't at yet.

Oh, which we're thinking

looking around.

Supposing the girl
doesn't come from lewes?

That girl came from lewes.

If you trunk, you're going

it from the nearest
station, aren't you?

Yet we can't find
anyone who knows her.

Maybe we're right people.

There's a in
that mess somewhere.

I don't know what or where,
but there's got to be.

That reminds me.

I want a list from all
pawnbrokers of any ladies

brought in after April the 19th.

Description.

It right away, and don't tell me

you're off duty three hours ago.

I never said a word.

Well, don't.

Now, where's wilks?

Information room.

Well, let's getting some.

Checking up on dentists.

Dentists?

Yes, mm-hmm.

Edgehill drive.

Yes, I got that.

That's, um, six in all.

Thank you for your help, sir.

So we're trying I
identify teeth now, are we?

I suddenly brainstorm.

Over these numbers, Katie,
me those two first,

will you?

Yeah, you didn't think
teeth, did you?

As a matter of fact, I did.

I thought
having any to identify.

No, but a dentist is the
one place where a person

would be known if she went.

Anyway, I turned up five jses,
and two of them are joans.

Joan Stevens

oh, let me have it, will you?

Hello.

Do you miss
Stevens will be back?

Oh, I see.

She does still live there?

Uh-uh.

Thank you.

Right, next.

You know, one day I'm
going proud of you.

Now, sir, don't anything that

in evidence you.

Your second call, sarge.

Oh.

Leave forwarding address?

Yes.

Yes, I can send it
care of her parents.

Fine.

Much obliged.

Simpson of February.

Parents might.

In windsor.

Shall I tidy it up first?

I'd just like to tidy this up

well, it like another drive.

Parents what

happened to their daughter...

If it is their daughter.

She's run off with
man, what done,

hasn't she?

Run off with some
herself into trouble.

I'm afraid so.

I'm not surprised.

She's a no-good tramp.

That's what I told her.

What I told you.
She's a good girl...

Whatever she's done, what

why do you say
that, Mr. Simpson?

She doesn't live the
brought her up.

Albert...

Always playing
around with some man.

You don't know that.

What do you mean
I don't know it?

I do know it.

What about that
droop at the airport?

Think bought her things

because she's good at typing?

That's no way to talk
about your daughter,

especially to strangers.

A good girl.

She always lived with us.

She was nice to have around.

Never an unkind word, never a...

I should say so.

Well, you did it Albert.

Always hitting at her because
she wanted a good time.

Well, what's being young for
except to have a good time?

Well, didn't sleeping it around.

Not the girl should behave.

I told her.

I warned her she'd
pay the price.

What kind of trouble is she in?

We think she's been killed.

Huh?

That can't be.

We found a body
which has tentatively

identified as Simpson
living in lewes.

We've been you're her parents.

[Crying]

Any of a mistake?

Well, until you and your
husband identify

well, no, I...

I'm afraid isn't much question.

You said... did you mean
someone killed her?

We believe so.

You catch him?

No, ma'am.

We're t trying

I hoping you could help us.

Yes, we'll help.

Please excuse my husband.

You see, he... he really
her very much.

Yes, I never doubted

perhaps you'd I came back later.

No, I don't mind
talking about her.

I'd like to talk about her.

Where was she working
before she went to lewes?

At the airport.

She there four years.

The man your husband mentioned?

Oh, Mr. Hammond?

Yes, yes, she worked for him.

My husband thinks

wasn't a nice girl Mr. Hammond,

but I don't think that's true.

You ever meet him, Mrs. Simpson?

Oh yes, he used to call for her.

Always seemed a gentleman.

I think my husband because Mr.

Nice things for Joan.

What other men friends?

Oh yes, she always

until Mr. Hammond.

Stopped calling.

I think she discouraged them.

I... 1 think maybe
hoping to marry Mr. Hammond.

She didn't.

He suddenly left the company

was very upset,
especially when my husband

kept saying how he told her so.

So she followed him to lewes?

I... I don't know where she went.

John Hammond is John
Campbell, furthermore,

lives in this area.

Based on what facts?

Well, sir, if we

Maybe he promised to marry her.

So she pesters him, even
threatens to tell his wife.

Blake at the airport,

have him too.

good picture of our man.

There's even a chance
we'll recognize him.

A wild one, sir, if I'm wrong,

I'll be the laughing
stock of the town.

Well, hope you won't be.

Meantime, is there anything

It was an accident!

Well, you've got
to listen to me!

It was an accident!

I can prove it!

It was an accident!

It happened in the kitchen.

I told her I
wasn't seeing her again,

that even if she went to my
wife I wasn't going on with it,

there was a scene.

She hysterical,
grabbed a knife and came at me.

I tried to get out
of the way and fell.

She was rushing at me so
hard, she tripped over me

fell against the sink.

I thought just unconscious.

But when I couldn't revive
her, I realized she was dead.

That's the truth.

You've got to believe me.

I'm I don't, Mr. tenby.

I think you killed
Simpson because

threatening you.

She was pregnant...

It's not true!

Carefully planned murder.

No!

Even to the purchase
of a knife and hacksaw.

Yes, we traced hardware shop.

All right.

I admit that.

It was after she died.

I bought them after.

When?

I bought them,

yes, right, Monday.

After I put Jean
sherman on the train.

You bought them
before she was killed.

I swear I didn't.
The shop's near the station.

That's why I bought them there.

To use on the body.

I was in a blind panic.

What it
like if I called the police.

Think I guilty
no matter what I said.

Once.

What for?

I embezzled 50 pounds.

It was a long time ago.

Under what name?

Campbell, Hammond, or tenby?

Tenby, it's my real one.

Were you married then?

Yes, my wife knew everything.

I changed my name
worked as a salesman

croydon cosmetic firm.

Were you thrown that job too?

No.

I got a better one
at the airport.

That's where I met Joan.

Did planning to kill

I didn't kill

it was an accident!

Well, tell us

what you did, did.

I've already told you!

All right, well have it again.

Tell sergeant wilks.

Started making demands
and marriage.

I... I thought it was safest to
go on seeing her for a while.

So you drove her
trunk to the station

to make sure she brought it.

I didn't drive anything.

Did, then?

Her roommate's fiance.

Runs a chicken something.

His name?

I don't know.

Was somebody.

We never met.

Dreamt up another name.

I told my wife I was
back on cosmetics.

And when was the big blowup?

Friday night.

Joan wanted me to stay the
weekend as if we were married.

I no, and getting hysterical.

So you knew you'd
have to kill her.

Don't keep saying that!

She fell!

Sink!

And off you went to croydon.

I had to get away
where I could think.

Where'd you do this thinking?

In a flat.

I don't know the address.

Who's flat?

I don't know her name!

And the next morning you picked
up Jean sherman on the train.

It sounds terrible put that way.

How would you like me to put it?

I just wanted to
be with a woman.

That way with me.

When I'm in trouble,
I turn to a woman.

Why didn't you finish the job?

I was terrified restlin would
take that schoolteacher back

with the key.

You bundled everything into
trunk to stage a burglary.

I knew the first thing they
would do is check the lease,

it was in my handwriting.

I didn't kill

she accidentally!

It was an accident.

Would you like a cup of
coffee, Mr. tenby?

Tea, please.

Right, we'll have a
cup of tea and then

we'll go over it again.

I can't keep telling

why not?

Unless you're
forgetting something.

She rushed at me with a knife.

She tripped struck her head.

What sort of knife?

Carving knife.

The one you bought at gardner's.

I didn't buy that till

well, you have another think.

We'll go over it again later.

denies it, he killed it.

I'll stake my life on that.

We have to prove he did.

Don't have a chance.

We've chance.

Show me where.

How did she die?

He bought the knife
and hacksaw while he

You know I don't
blame you, Fred.
