Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
00:01:29.692 --> 00:01:31.677
It was me! I did it all!
00:01:31.957 --> 00:01:36.300
I was the author! Me,
understand?! Only me!
00:01:36.612 --> 00:01:38.053
Yes, I understand.
00:01:38.428 --> 00:01:40.799
You did it all, you're the author
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:46.354
But Paul Carpas is the one who gets paid,
and Paul Carpas is famous in the country...
00:01:46.896 --> 00:01:51.566
- ... and throughout the whole world
- Paul Carpas, that son of a bitch
00:01:51.851 --> 00:01:54.726
That thief stole everything from me
00:01:54.821 --> 00:01:59.602
The character, the story, the success,
00:02:01.127 --> 00:02:03.589
- the money
- The money most of all
00:02:03.810 --> 00:02:06.591
I still have enough to pay you with
00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:11.084
Your ad says you charge reasonable rates
00:02:11.418 --> 00:02:13.610
What do you call reasonable Cash?
00:02:14.007 --> 00:02:17.708
20 dollars a day if, I don't
have to leave the city
00:02:19.312 --> 00:02:22.584
Very well, you're hired for ten days
00:02:24.904 --> 00:02:27.683
Alright, what do you want from me?
00:02:27.905 --> 00:02:30.828
I'm used to following cheating
wives and things like that
00:02:31.082 --> 00:02:34.370
I don't have a wife.
I don't have anyone
00:02:35.847 --> 00:02:40.247
- Then what do you want me to do?
- To show I'm the real creator of Sexy Cat,
00:02:40.532 --> 00:02:43.281
that girl that's made Carpas famous
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:48.316
The first Sexy Cat comic was published
by Gold Publishers, I signed the drawings
00:02:48.570 --> 00:02:51.984
I made the mistake of not copyrighting it
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.082
and Carpas stole it and took it to St. Jane to be published,
00:02:55.146 --> 00:02:59.227
- they're the official publishers now
- And Gold never reported the theft?
00:02:59.291 --> 00:03:02.356
It couldn't. There was a
crooked manager back then
00:03:02.547 --> 00:03:05.978
who sold Carpas the original
plates and archival drawings
00:03:06.152 --> 00:03:08.646
They didn't have any
legal proof against Carpas
00:03:08.790 --> 00:03:13.903
And for 200 bucks you expect me to find all
that and give it to you on a silver platter
00:03:14.077 --> 00:03:16.699
More or less. Would you be able to?
00:03:17.668 --> 00:03:21.209
What, do you think I'm Santo?
How the hell would I do all that?
00:03:21.574 --> 00:03:26.228
That's your problem. If you don't think
you can I'll hire another cheap detective,
00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:29.071
- a more determined one
- Fine, alright, I accept
00:03:29.278 --> 00:03:31.740
- I'll see what I can dig up
- Move quick Cash,
00:03:31.882 --> 00:03:36.234
- if there's a settlement I'll give you 30%
- How much would you consider fair?
00:03:36.425 --> 00:03:39.427
A hundred thousand would be
fair, but don't bank on that
00:03:39.602 --> 00:03:44.398
If you get ten thousand that'd be
a success. If you fail with Carpas
00:03:44.590 --> 00:03:47.433
we still have another
chance of getting something
00:03:48.148 --> 00:03:51.024
- Where?
- At Independent Atlantic Television
00:03:51.389 --> 00:03:55.645
Right, they're going to make a Sexy
Cat series, I read that somewhere
00:03:55.962 --> 00:03:59.155
- Is that what you mean?
- That's right, that's what I mean
00:03:59.282 --> 00:04:03.825
They won't want the scandal. They'll
pay for sure if you handle things right
00:04:04.508 --> 00:04:07.844
Alright Grandi. I don't
like this job much, but...
00:04:08.733 --> 00:04:12.259
... when I agree to something I see it
through to the end, you can be sure of that
00:04:12.498 --> 00:04:13.228
I am
00:04:15.387 --> 00:04:17.802
- I'll keep you informed
- Good luck
00:06:36.190 --> 00:06:40.129
- Dead!
- Yes, that's what I said Cash, murdered!
00:06:40.462 --> 00:06:44.210
- You were at his house today, weren't you?
- Yes, he was a client of mine
00:06:44.337 --> 00:06:47.975
- What did Grandi want from you?
- Lieutenant, business between a detective
00:06:48.039 --> 00:06:50.659
and his client are always confidential, you know that
00:06:50.722 --> 00:06:54.614
Look Cash, we know each other too well.
You aren't a brilliant detective that can
00:06:54.661 --> 00:06:58.584
put on airs. You were always
mixed up in shady business,
00:06:58.696 --> 00:07:02.110
and I suppose whatever you had
with Grandi wasn't on the up and up,
00:07:02.184 --> 00:07:04.646
so you better fill me in on everything
00:07:04.661 --> 00:07:08.585
before I remember you're our only
suspect in this crime at the moment
00:07:08.665 --> 00:07:10.586
- How was he killed?
- With a dagger
00:07:10.633 --> 00:07:14.192
- A Venetian one, according to the experts
- Venetian? How's that?
00:07:14.844 --> 00:07:17.385
I don't know, it's some
sort of odd medieval weapon
00:07:17.496 --> 00:07:21.515
The murderer made sure he was dead,
he slit his jugular with a single cut
00:07:22.181 --> 00:07:25.850
Alright Cash, let's finish this
already. Why did Grandi call you?
00:07:25.994 --> 00:07:28.869
He's dead now, there's no reason to keep a professional secret
00:07:28.932 --> 00:07:31.950
The key to his death might
be in that meeting of yours
00:07:32.061 --> 00:07:33.760
- I doubt that
- Why?
00:07:34.332 --> 00:07:37.477
- Because we talked about drawings, comics
- About what?
00:07:39.272 --> 00:07:40.129
Look,
00:07:42.099 --> 00:07:43.735
about this specifically
00:07:46.911 --> 00:07:48.024
Sexy Cat?
00:07:48.596 --> 00:07:53.726
Yes, Sexy Cat, the lovely masked
killer. Grandi claimed he was her creator
00:07:54.647 --> 00:07:58.061
As you can see, nothing that
could relate to the crime
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.254
It can't, can it? Have you
read the title of the story?
00:08:47.869 --> 00:08:53.365
I'm afraid you're simply wasting
the time I've given you, Mr. Cash
00:08:53.808 --> 00:08:56.048
Wasting it? You think so?
00:08:56.572 --> 00:09:00.416
- Make it quick friend, I'm in a hurry
- Yes, I can imagine
00:09:04.386 --> 00:09:10.041
What's the important thing you have to tell
me in relation to my character Sexy Cat?
00:09:10.834 --> 00:09:14.059
We're about to start
shooting the pilot episode,
00:09:14.695 --> 00:09:19.125
so you must understand I don't have
much time to waste on foolishness
00:09:19.284 --> 00:09:22.064
The death of a man is no
foolishness, Mr. Carpas
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:23.080
Death?
00:09:24.461 --> 00:09:25.367
Whose?
00:09:26.431 --> 00:09:27.718
Martin Grandi's
00:09:28.178 --> 00:09:31.292
Grandi? Oh yes, Grandi the drunk
00:09:31.975 --> 00:09:34.182
We worked together occasionally
00:09:34.976 --> 00:09:37.772
I think he only had
time for drinking gin
00:09:41.393 --> 00:09:46.046
What did he die of? Alcoholism
maybe? Or did he commit suicide?
00:09:46.300 --> 00:09:50.779
- Murdered, with a Venetian dagger
- A Venetian dagger?
00:09:51.891 --> 00:09:52.986
Murdered?
00:09:55.050 --> 00:09:57.433
- That's strange
- Yes, very strange
00:09:57.687 --> 00:10:02.119
- Just like in your comics Carpas
- I'm sorry Paul, I'm sorry for your show
00:10:02.548 --> 00:10:06.646
- A man died just like in your comic
- Shut up Sugar, that's nonsense
00:10:10.331 --> 00:10:13.174
And what's your relationship
with Grandi anyway?
00:10:13.285 --> 00:10:17.272
- He was my client
- My, so he was your client
00:10:19.749 --> 00:10:21.989
And you worked for that loser?
00:10:22.084 --> 00:10:26.229
A lot of the time losers are where they are
because others took advantage of their work
00:10:26.387 --> 00:10:28.024
Not in this case
00:10:28.929 --> 00:10:34.837
Sexy is mine, she's my work,
and she's legally registered
00:10:35.616 --> 00:10:40.492
Even if she wasn't, what would be
the point now that Grandi is dead?
00:10:40.968 --> 00:10:44.033
He gave me 200 dollars,
he hired me for ten days
00:10:44.176 --> 00:10:47.544
I have to keep defending
his rights even if he is dead
00:10:52.070 --> 00:10:53.483
Let's finish this
00:10:54.611 --> 00:10:57.693
I understand.
Let's make it brief friend
00:11:01.347 --> 00:11:02.331
How much?
00:11:03.697 --> 00:11:06.493
- Go on
- I don't think you've understood
00:11:06.668 --> 00:11:11.050
- I told you a client paid me 200 dollars
- But Grandi is dead
00:11:11.766 --> 00:11:14.433
Why don't we say... ten thousand?
00:11:15.816 --> 00:11:17.817
That's what you came for, right?
00:11:17.927 --> 00:11:21.501
I suppose for less,
but Carpas is generous
00:11:27.854 --> 00:11:30.142
Take this and forget the matter
00:11:33.366 --> 00:11:37.606
That's a nice bit of cash, huh? I'm
sorry Carpas, but I'm not for sale
00:11:40.418 --> 00:11:41.878
Are you crazy?
00:11:42.768 --> 00:11:45.261
I'm warning you, I won't
pay a single dollar more
00:11:45.325 --> 00:11:49.487
If you're paying that much, you're afraid of something
- Certainly not of you,
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.251
you gutter detective
00:11:52.346 --> 00:11:57.936
- You convince me more every time
- Get out Cash, let's go, out!
00:11:58.795 --> 00:12:01.876
Alright, but I still think
you're hiding something
00:12:01.955 --> 00:12:05.126
if you're willing to pay a gutter
detective ten thousand dollars
00:12:05.196 --> 00:12:09.493
Look Cash, I don't like
tribunals or scandals or tabloids
00:12:09.541 --> 00:12:13.161
I'm right on the edge
of international success,
00:12:13.225 --> 00:12:17.831
The live action Sexy Cat series for
television will play all over the world,
00:12:17.895 --> 00:12:20.524
IATV pays huge royalties
00:12:21.406 --> 00:12:24.392
I'm not trying to hide
anything with all of this
00:12:24.551 --> 00:12:28.824
- I'm willing to buy your cooperation
- I already said I'm not for sale Carpas
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:34.303
Alright, then we'll go before the
tribunals! You've tried to blackmail me!
00:12:35.224 --> 00:12:38.433
Me, blackmail? I don't think
anyone would agree there
00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:44.739
No? You heard him Gale, he tried to
blackmail me with some filthy nonsense
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:51.140
That's right dear, he tried to get money
out of you, I saw it. That's two against one
00:12:51.583 --> 00:12:55.046
I wouldn't say that. He ripped up
a check for 10 thousand dollars,
00:12:55.126 --> 00:12:58.843
- and no blackmailer would do that
- Sugar, I picked you for the role,
00:12:58.985 --> 00:13:02.639
- what's the big idea?
- I'm sorry Carpas, I'm just being honest
00:13:02.719 --> 00:13:04.180
And you're right Sugar
00:13:04.291 --> 00:13:08.818
I also think what he did is refuse
money from the powerful Mr. Carpas
00:13:08.977 --> 00:13:11.978
Martha, you're risking your role in
the series if you're against me
00:13:12.105 --> 00:13:15.282
I'm so sorry Paul, but
you know I'm a good actress
00:13:15.648 --> 00:13:18.793
I'm here because IATV and
the show's producers demand it
00:13:19.064 --> 00:13:24.479
If I were paralyzed tomorrow they'd roll me
out in front of the cameras in a wheelchair
00:13:24.558 --> 00:13:27.608
- Just like Aaron Shyde
- But prettier, doll
00:13:28.689 --> 00:13:32.452
Come Mr. Cash, I'll see you out,
you'll only hear nonsense here
00:13:36.629 --> 00:13:38.853
That's three against two Carpas
00:13:41.267 --> 00:13:42.966
Watch out for starch
00:13:44.602 --> 00:13:45.634
Imbecile
00:13:49.271 --> 00:13:51.955
So why the help,
you don't know me at all
00:13:52.114 --> 00:13:56.666
I know Paul Carpas and his entourage
of admirers, that's enough for me
00:13:56.904 --> 00:14:00.811
You're risking your artistic livelihood
if you make the big fish angry
00:14:01.255 --> 00:14:04.941
I'm the only real actress at this station
00:14:05.210 --> 00:14:09.071
I don't need admirers
to convince the public
00:14:09.912 --> 00:14:10.691
Here
00:14:11.277 --> 00:14:15.470
- Like Gale Crystal, for example
- Gale Crystal? Who is that?
00:14:16.328 --> 00:14:19.557
a mixture of races
without scruples
00:14:19.999 --> 00:14:23.228
but... full of attraction
00:14:23.982 --> 00:14:26.586
She is Carpes’s girl friend
00:14:28.542 --> 00:14:30.729
-The other?
-Sugar Lane?
00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:34.032
As an actress she is a ....?
00:14:34.033 --> 00:14:37.940
But she would do anybody as long
as they cast here as Sexy Cat
00:14:39.382 --> 00:14:41.828
And you don't need protection?
00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:45.608
I can't tell whether
you're a rogue or not
00:14:46.101 --> 00:14:47.594
I am, I promise
00:14:52.454 --> 00:14:57.410
But in any case, I admire that you'd defend
the rights of a dead man for 200 dollars
00:14:58.221 --> 00:14:59.761
He was my client
00:15:00.445 --> 00:15:05.496
Not many would have refused 10 thousand
in the palm of their hand like you did
00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:11.515
Maybe Carpas offered ten because
there's something at stake worth forty?
00:15:13.565 --> 00:15:17.630
I don't know if you're just
shameless, a loudmouthed cynic,
00:15:17.790 --> 00:15:21.331
or simply an absurdly honorable man
00:15:22.078 --> 00:15:25.016
In any case, I'd like to find out
00:15:25.302 --> 00:15:30.162
I already told you.
A rogue, but a sentimental one
00:15:58.259 --> 00:16:02.309
Extraordinary, dazzling...
00:16:02.914 --> 00:16:05.311
... but no, it's not possible
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:07.726
I think that...
00:16:09.234 --> 00:16:14.446
... we're pushing things, especially
after that stupid detective's accusations
00:16:14.525 --> 00:16:18.242
and that absurd crime.
This would be too much
00:16:18.448 --> 00:16:21.180
- But it's what you asked for
- Forget it
00:16:22.545 --> 00:16:24.387
I need something...
00:16:25.054 --> 00:16:29.883
- ... less strong, less cruel
- Then should we change Sexy's essence?
00:16:30.153 --> 00:16:34.950
No no, not that. The essence must
remain the same, just the reflection
00:16:36.078 --> 00:16:39.350
Now Sexy has to go
into millions of homes
00:16:41.479 --> 00:16:45.433
You should tone down that
terrible sensation of pleasure
00:16:45.656 --> 00:16:47.864
Alright, you're the boss Mr. Carpas
00:16:49.294 --> 00:16:52.279
A beautiful monster that
terrorizes its own creator
00:16:53.105 --> 00:16:55.996
But it's just a doll Paul, isn't it?
00:17:02.935 --> 00:17:05.412
I have to see you later,
I want to help you
00:17:05.540 --> 00:17:08.795
I'm a close friend of
Carla's, Carpas' ex-wife
00:17:08.922 --> 00:17:11.845
Another woman? What does
she have to do with this?
00:17:12.162 --> 00:17:16.277
Carpas was married to her when
this whole Sexy Cat thing started
00:17:17.055 --> 00:17:20.899
- No one would know the truth better
- Alright, I'm grateful
00:17:23.193 --> 00:17:26.020
I'll be at my apartment
at ten, don't be late
00:17:26.291 --> 00:17:30.198
We're filming Sexy's pilot
episode tomorrow, ''Coral Snake'',
00:17:30.595 --> 00:17:33.708
the first episode in the series,
and I have to get up early
00:17:33.930 --> 00:17:36.344
Be punctual, I need my sleep
00:17:38.853 --> 00:17:41.204
I'll be there at ten, on the dot
00:19:24.767 --> 00:19:26.292
Is that you Mike?
00:24:21.288 --> 00:24:22.909
- Excuse me
- Yes?
00:24:23.068 --> 00:24:25.434
- Ms. Martha Renov?
- Follow me, please
00:24:25.688 --> 00:24:27.865
It's on the fourth floor
00:24:33.438 --> 00:24:35.487
- Thank you
- You're welcome sir
00:25:13.749 --> 00:25:16.418
Martha, it's me, Mike
00:25:19.234 --> 00:25:20.171
Martha
00:25:23.125 --> 00:25:24.109
Martha
00:26:47.679 --> 00:26:49.838
Alright Mr. Cash, anything else?
00:26:50.363 --> 00:26:53.572
You mentioned the woman who
runs the Gold store chain
00:26:53.761 --> 00:26:56.859
She's a very rich woman,
her name is Diana Singh
00:26:57.193 --> 00:27:00.638
She's the widow of the man who
created the business empire
00:27:00.781 --> 00:27:04.197
She's bitter, both because
her business is going south
00:27:04.387 --> 00:27:09.104
and because of the son she has who suffers
from polio and is tied to a wheelchair
00:27:09.549 --> 00:27:13.567
I see. So you don't get
along, I mean your companies
00:27:14.043 --> 00:27:19.967
We can't get along. They declared war on us
along with Carpas, as if it were our fault
00:27:20.951 --> 00:27:25.747
They didn't have a written contract with him
and so they couldn't do anything, that's it
00:27:27.241 --> 00:27:30.068
Could there have been a
verbal contract Mrs. St. James?
00:27:30.179 --> 00:27:31.832
Liz, if you please
00:27:32.181 --> 00:27:36.438
I don't know, that's a matter
for Mr. Carpas and his own ethics
00:27:36.708 --> 00:27:40.138
I can't involve myself in those
matters, and neither can the law
00:27:40.313 --> 00:27:44.666
Yes, that's what I imagined. These
days a person's word doesn't matter much
00:27:44.697 --> 00:27:47.810
compared to a signed contract.
Well, I think I'll keep looking
00:27:47.921 --> 00:27:50.938
For Sexy Cat, the one who
escaped off of the printed page?
00:27:51.161 --> 00:27:56.212
Perhaps, or perhaps for a woman
who's just sexy, without the cat
00:27:58.356 --> 00:28:01.629
- Like me, for example?
- Like you, for example
00:28:02.265 --> 00:28:05.743
But I'm not a killer,
I wouldn't hurt anyone
00:28:07.300 --> 00:28:10.905
That's possible, at very least
I can say you didn't hurt me
00:28:17.179 --> 00:28:18.816
Will we meet again?
00:28:19.991 --> 00:28:20.880
Perhaps
00:28:23.581 --> 00:28:27.011
Drop by the Ula Ula,
I'm there every afternoon...
00:28:30.046 --> 00:28:32.285
... when my husband is away
00:28:34.128 --> 00:28:38.195
Your husband mentioned Belda Lynn,
do you know where I can find her?
00:28:39.083 --> 00:28:42.085
She's a model, why don't
you ask at the agency?
00:29:13.420 --> 00:29:16.532
- Ms. Belda Lynn?
- A new sketch artist?
00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:20.137
- No, I'm a private detective?
- Oh? I have nothing to say to detectives
00:29:20.233 --> 00:29:23.443
If some jealous wife sent you tell
her I don't have anything to do with-
00:29:23.506 --> 00:29:28.017
- No, no jealous wife sent me
- I can't trust just anyone, Mr...
00:29:28.207 --> 00:29:32.860
Cash, Mike Cash. It's a good idea not
to trust people, it's a jungle out there
00:29:33.290 --> 00:29:37.260
If you think that's going to convince me...
What do you want from me Mr. Cash?
00:29:37.371 --> 00:29:39.404
That's enough for today Belda
00:29:40.054 --> 00:29:43.247
It's time for my break and it's
my habit to have lunch by myself
00:29:43.405 --> 00:29:44.867
It'll only take a bit
00:29:44.978 --> 00:29:48.806
I'll just accompany you for a bit and
then leave, you have my word Ms. Lynn
00:29:49.282 --> 00:29:51.696
- I wanted to speak to you
- About what?
00:29:51.871 --> 00:29:56.145
- About Sexy Cat
- Sexy Cat? I just modeled for the character
00:29:56.859 --> 00:29:59.051
With Martin Grandi or with Carpas?
00:29:59.194 --> 00:30:03.958
Grandi? That old drunk? I hear it's
been ages since he's drawn something
00:30:04.578 --> 00:30:07.738
- He can't draw. He's dead now
- I didn't know
00:30:07.850 --> 00:30:12.011
Well, I didn't know him very well, but
in any case it's a shame when someone dies
00:30:12.170 --> 00:30:15.727
- Yes, of course. So you posed for Carpas?
- Yes
00:30:16.934 --> 00:30:20.207
And instead of choosing you for
the TV series he picks another,
00:30:20.333 --> 00:30:22.176
and you made the character famous
00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:26.576
I model for many fictional characters
who later become famous, but I never do,
00:30:27.338 --> 00:30:29.944
and this time because of that pig Carpas
00:30:30.196 --> 00:30:33.341
You have nothing to envy
Sugar or anyone else for
00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:35.183
Thank you
00:30:41.484 --> 00:30:44.773
The agency suggested me for the
role and the station accepted it,
00:30:44.820 --> 00:30:47.488
since I was the one who
really brought Sexy Cat to life
00:30:47.536 --> 00:30:49.855
It was nowhere near the character we have now,
00:30:49.934 --> 00:30:52.698
I mean back when it was
released by Gold Publishers
00:30:52.936 --> 00:30:56.399
I understand. Sexy already
existed before you posed for Carpas
00:30:56.590 --> 00:31:01.768
But very different, she was still a cat
woman but she had nothing really sexy going
00:31:03.523 --> 00:31:08.224
Do you understand? She didn't have
any eroticism, I gave it to her
00:31:08.780 --> 00:31:12.641
- And now Sugar took your TV role
- She's Carpas' little friend
00:31:12.831 --> 00:31:16.817
Yes. Is she? I thought that impressive
mulatta was, Gale Crystal
00:31:17.007 --> 00:31:21.043
Sugar has everything she needs in
order to take her place, I'm sure of it
00:31:22.059 --> 00:31:25.458
So there's a lot of women
dancing around this Sexy Cat thing
00:31:25.665 --> 00:31:28.222
Alright Miss, I think that's everything,
I won't bother you any further
00:31:28.285 --> 00:31:31.779
Forgive me for earlier, I thought you
were here on behalf of someone's wife
00:31:31.858 --> 00:31:36.036
That's a problem that comes up
sometimes. It's this business, you know
00:31:36.195 --> 00:31:39.991
- You can have lunch with me if you want
- I've already eaten, but I'll come with you
00:31:47.979 --> 00:31:50.441
Why are you asking
me so many questions?
00:31:50.552 --> 00:31:54.507
Because it seems that Sexy Cat has
come to life. She's killing people
00:31:54.841 --> 00:31:59.304
- My god, are you joking?
- No no Miss, it's no joke
00:31:59.780 --> 00:32:03.148
Two people have already been killed,
I don't know if it was Sexy or not
00:32:03.338 --> 00:32:06.540
What I do know is that this gentleman
is coming with me right this moment
00:32:07.341 --> 00:32:09.704
Lieutenant Cole.
A female acquaintance
00:32:21.427 --> 00:32:23.587
Do you think you did the
right thing Lieutenant?
00:32:23.651 --> 00:32:26.408
The right thing would have been to handcuff
you and have two agents bring you here
00:32:26.669 --> 00:32:27.986
I don't see why
00:32:28.352 --> 00:32:32.743
You don't see why, huh? You visit the
homes of two people who are murdered in odd
00:32:32.784 --> 00:32:36.993
circumstances shortly thereafter and
you see no reason for being brought here
00:32:37.168 --> 00:32:39.057
I didn't kill them Lieutenant
00:32:39.391 --> 00:32:43.171
I'm not so sure of that, but what I can
say is that you knew of both these events,
00:32:43.361 --> 00:32:47.062
and you knew of the second crime before
anyone, then you disappeared without a trace
00:32:47.142 --> 00:32:49.603
I called so they'd come
to Martha Renov's apartment
00:32:49.715 --> 00:32:54.352
You only made a phone call, and then
you started investigating on your own,
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:58.927
sticking your nose in everything as if you
were an officer and not a damned gumshoe
00:32:58.974 --> 00:33:03.421
who with a single word of mine would lose
his license and wind up in a jail cell
00:33:03.917 --> 00:33:07.831
I only wanted to learn the truth about
Sexy Cat. Grandi paid me and my obligation-
00:33:07.862 --> 00:33:09.657
Of course, of course
00:33:10.547 --> 00:33:15.009
Look Cash, neither you nor any of your kind
fool me. There's a lot of cash at stake here
00:33:15.105 --> 00:33:17.345
Now that's just unfair Lieutenant
00:33:17.504 --> 00:33:22.491
Yes, that's true. If I was fair with you I'd
have you in jail for withholding evidence
00:33:22.682 --> 00:33:25.271
and as a prime suspect for murder
00:33:25.398 --> 00:33:29.003
Come on Lieutenant, you don't think
I threw a coral snake at that girl
00:33:29.115 --> 00:33:34.196
- or found a Venetian dagger for Grandi
- What I think is you know things I don't,
00:33:35.341 --> 00:33:39.597
and if you don't decide to be come clean
you can be sure I'll carry out my threat
00:33:39.724 --> 00:33:43.521
Alright, I guess I should play along,
but only because I'm under duress
00:33:43.711 --> 00:33:46.633
Duress? You call this duress?
00:33:47.157 --> 00:33:50.350
One day someone like you is
going to make me lose my patience
00:33:54.033 --> 00:33:55.208
Start talking
00:34:06.947 --> 00:34:08.497
- Sir?
- Mrs. Singh?
00:34:08.542 --> 00:34:09.620
This way sir
00:34:22.686 --> 00:34:25.165
- Mrs. Singh, I'm Mike Cash
- Delighted
00:34:27.292 --> 00:34:29.501
My son Malcolm and Dr. Pentis
00:34:30.375 --> 00:34:31.536
Please, sit
00:34:32.821 --> 00:34:35.187
- Would you like something to drink
- No, thank you
00:34:35.283 --> 00:34:36.616
Alright, what can I do for you?
00:34:36.903 --> 00:34:40.716
Well, I really came to speak with your
secretary, I didn't mean to bother you
00:34:40.795 --> 00:34:44.951
Carla hasn't come, I suppose you know
what happened to the actress Martha Renov?
00:34:44.958 --> 00:34:48.371
- Yes
- They were friends. Horrible, wasn't it?
00:34:50.351 --> 00:34:53.703
- How long has she worked for you?
- Since she divorced Carpas
00:34:54.084 --> 00:34:57.455
With Carpas working for you Gold Publishing
would be doing just fine, isn't that so?
00:34:58.309 --> 00:35:03.660
Gold Publishing... it's a luxury
ship that's slowly sinking, Mr. Cash
00:35:03.852 --> 00:35:06.361
It started leaking while
my husband was alive,
00:35:06.442 --> 00:35:09.491
when his heart failed
everything just got worse
00:35:09.872 --> 00:35:13.080
- I'm not a good publisher
- Do you hate Carpas?
00:35:13.240 --> 00:35:17.249
- Why should I?
- Well, for what he did to your business
00:35:17.799 --> 00:35:20.373
In the end, it was my
husband's fault for believing
00:35:20.468 --> 00:35:24.025
- that the best contract was a man's word
- And that wasn't the case with Carpas?
00:35:24.104 --> 00:35:28.218
No, not at all. Carpas is capable
of anything if it benefits him
00:35:28.667 --> 00:35:30.787
Even stealing Grandi's idea, right?
00:35:32.029 --> 00:35:35.746
I know what you're talking about.
Carpas has no ideas, he just copies
00:35:36.477 --> 00:35:40.352
- What are you really after Mr. Cash?
- First I was investigating a theft,
00:35:40.479 --> 00:35:44.688
- now I'm looking for a killer as well
- I'll give you Carla Glove's address
00:35:44.713 --> 00:35:47.597
I will advice her that
am senidng you
00:35:48.640 --> 00:35:49.891
Madam, Doctor
00:35:50.896 --> 00:35:55.581
- Your personal physician, Mrs. Singh?
- Yes, Malcolm is still here thanks to him
00:35:56.105 --> 00:35:58.551
Sometimes I'm glad I don't publish Sexy
00:35:59.218 --> 00:36:02.093
There are creatures that can cause
damage even from a printed page,
00:36:02.251 --> 00:36:06.436
though I can't keep Marco for reading
it, it's a bit of a passion for him
00:36:07.063 --> 00:36:10.129
It's not right that a heroine captures
the hearts of her readers by killing
00:36:10.224 --> 00:36:13.116
Sexy is bad, but she does it
because people were bad to her
00:36:13.258 --> 00:36:16.530
- Have you read The Venetian Dagger Malcolm?
- Yes, that was several days ago,
00:36:16.705 --> 00:36:20.391
afterwards came The Coral Snake
and today I start on the new story
00:36:20.502 --> 00:36:22.249
Look, The Synthetic Death
00:36:55.430 --> 00:36:57.161
- Mrs. Carla Glove?
- Yes?
00:36:57.256 --> 00:36:58.851
Some flowers for you
00:37:01.196 --> 00:37:02.704
Alright, come in
00:37:04.801 --> 00:37:07.421
Put them...
right over there
00:38:29.221 --> 00:38:32.471
Who are you?
What's the meaning of all this?
00:38:48.392 --> 00:38:50.076
What are you going to do?
00:40:34.687 --> 00:40:36.244
- Miss
- Have they called me?
00:40:36.387 --> 00:40:38.516
- Not yet
- They said they would
00:40:38.610 --> 00:40:42.042
I don't know. They called you the
other day, but you had already left
00:40:52.603 --> 00:40:53.667
Who is it?
00:40:54.271 --> 00:40:57.733
- I'm Mike Cash, Mrs. Singh sent me
- Wait
00:41:20.343 --> 00:41:21.566
Mrs. Glove?
00:41:39.463 --> 00:41:41.052
The Synthetic Death
00:42:08.545 --> 00:42:11.642
Put me through to Lieutenant
Cole. This is Mike Cash
00:42:18.459 --> 00:42:21.192
Death by asphyxiation, and
no more than two hours ago
00:42:22.351 --> 00:42:23.924
And not a single clue
00:42:24.558 --> 00:42:27.211
- It doesn't make sense to me
- Not to me either
00:42:27.322 --> 00:42:32.548
You? Damn it, since you got into this mess
all you've done is find corpses all over
00:42:33.548 --> 00:42:37.201
What's wrong with you that everyone
you try to see ends up in the afterlife?
00:42:37.787 --> 00:42:40.388
I asked you for permission to
visit Carla Glove, remember that
00:42:40.488 --> 00:42:42.558
Yes, and you visited
her, but not in time
00:42:44.269 --> 00:42:48.303
I'm afraid these crimes are going to
increase the sales of Sexy's comics 1000%
00:42:49.160 --> 00:42:52.638
So who are you suggesting is the
culprit, the St. James or Diana Singh?
00:42:52.813 --> 00:42:54.016
I'm not suggesting anything
00:42:54.560 --> 00:42:57.705
It could also be Carpas, if it
increases sales he'd make millions
00:42:57.801 --> 00:43:02.344
Yes, and Belda Lynn, the model they
keep passing over, Sugar, for publicity,
00:43:02.773 --> 00:43:06.473
the television station, to launch
their show, even Sexy Cat herself
00:43:10.999 --> 00:43:13.953
We have to do something, we can't
sit here twiddling our thumbs
00:43:14.033 --> 00:43:15.717
So what do you want me to do?
00:43:15.896 --> 00:43:18.941
Like it or not, you're going to
help the police as best you can
00:43:18.956 --> 00:43:21.545
because you're in this up
to your neck, understand?
00:43:22.053 --> 00:43:24.579
- It'll be a pleasure, Lieutenant
- It'll have to be,
00:43:24.643 --> 00:43:28.513
otherwise you lose your license.
People tend to open up to you
00:43:28.564 --> 00:43:33.536
more than with my agents, women mostly. It
seems like you have a certain way with them,
00:43:33.648 --> 00:43:37.872
though I don't understand why.
Alright, enjoy your charms, use them,
00:43:37.952 --> 00:43:40.461
do things your way but get
them done, do you understand?
00:43:40.588 --> 00:43:44.114
- Alright already, what should I do?
- Speak to the women most directly related
00:43:44.178 --> 00:43:48.228
with Carpas and Sexy. Sugar Lane, Gale
Crystal, Belda Lynn, all of them...
00:43:52.469 --> 00:43:55.821
- Remember that you're our only witness
- Though of what, I don't know
00:43:57.059 --> 00:44:00.077
You were invited up to
Carla's home through a speaker,
00:44:00.236 --> 00:44:03.318
- you said it was a woman's voice
- It seemed that way,
00:44:03.635 --> 00:44:06.971
but anyone can fake a woman's
voice through a speaker
00:44:07.986 --> 00:44:11.096
Well, supposing it was a woman,
could you recognize her voice?
00:44:11.560 --> 00:44:15.223
No, I didn't pay attention,
I thought it was Carla Glove
00:44:16.691 --> 00:44:21.516
Carla was already dead by then, it was her
killer that invited you up and let you in
00:44:23.123 --> 00:44:25.410
Someone named Barry McKay
wants to speak to you Lieutenant
00:44:25.505 --> 00:44:28.110
- McKay?
- Yes sir, he says it's urgent
00:44:28.221 --> 00:44:30.683
- He's been waiting a while
- To hell with it, I have a lot of work
00:44:30.779 --> 00:44:34.511
Lieutenant, he says he's a witness
to something related to Carla Glove
00:44:34.686 --> 00:44:38.175
- He hasn't said more, he's very nervous
- Send him in right away, go on, move!
00:44:39.118 --> 00:44:40.595
Hey you, come here
00:44:49.346 --> 00:44:50.268
May I?
00:44:50.649 --> 00:44:52.968
Come in. Come on,
don't just stand there
00:44:58.400 --> 00:44:59.970
- Sit down
- Thank you
00:45:00.956 --> 00:45:05.186
They brought me some tea out
there, I do get so nervous
00:45:05.897 --> 00:45:10.694
Well, I don't have much to tell you because
all I say was the escape, you know?
00:45:13.107 --> 00:45:17.348
Go on, don't keep us waiting
- That's it, I just saw the escape
00:45:18.349 --> 00:45:19.969
What did the man look like?
00:45:20.896 --> 00:45:22.970
- What man?
- The man!
00:45:23.160 --> 00:45:25.095
- What man?
- The man who fled!
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:29.133
No, it wasn't a man, it was
a woman of course, a woman
00:45:29.721 --> 00:45:31.007
Go on, go on!
00:45:31.086 --> 00:45:32.087
Well...
00:45:34.471 --> 00:45:39.108
I don't like getting involved,
I'm just a simple tailor
00:45:39.807 --> 00:45:42.685
- I came because I thought it was my duty-
- What was she wearing?
00:45:42.714 --> 00:45:45.383
She was dressed in black!
Sorry, sorry
00:45:46.018 --> 00:45:48.750
I just get so nervous.
Tell him not to yell at me
00:45:49.083 --> 00:45:51.593
Here's the cup, thank you
00:45:52.197 --> 00:45:56.311
She was in black, like I
said. Her outfit was... demode,
00:45:56.882 --> 00:46:00.312
antique, graceless, very ugly, oui?
00:46:01.138 --> 00:46:04.030
- What was she wearing on her head?
- She was wearing some sort-
00:46:04.094 --> 00:46:06.333
Yes, on her head, on her head!
00:46:08.779 --> 00:46:09.748
Nothing
00:46:10.669 --> 00:46:14.322
- Nothing
- She wasn't wearing anything on her head
00:46:19.532 --> 00:46:21.533
She wasn't wearing anything, no
00:46:22.931 --> 00:46:27.474
She did have on some sort of... mask
00:46:28.687 --> 00:46:32.843
Yes, a mask. It's the truth, it really is
00:46:32.970 --> 00:46:35.431
It sounds like I'm
making it up, but I saw it
00:46:35.828 --> 00:46:37.020
And her hair?
00:46:37.767 --> 00:46:40.212
- Well, her hair was... her hair...
- Like what?
00:46:40.244 --> 00:46:41.451
Blonde!
00:46:43.246 --> 00:46:47.449
She was wearing
gloves too, yes, gloves
00:46:47.581 --> 00:46:49.742
Was she carrying anything?
00:46:51.468 --> 00:46:52.277
No...
00:46:55.645 --> 00:46:56.486
Yes!
00:46:57.661 --> 00:47:00.409
She had a bouquet of flowers,
a bouquet of flowers!
00:47:00.663 --> 00:47:04.054
- Did that woman see you?
- No sir, I don't think so
00:47:04.999 --> 00:47:07.191
Well, at least I hope so
00:47:08.255 --> 00:47:11.575
Which way was she going?
- The opposite way, towards my apartment
00:47:12.210 --> 00:47:14.116
Towards the service escalator
00:47:15.132 --> 00:47:18.881
- Is this the woman you saw, more or less?
- Of course, that's her
00:47:19.850 --> 00:47:22.769
No... but that's Sexy Cat!
00:47:23.598 --> 00:47:27.663
Of course that can't be her, but I
swear I'm telling the truth, I swear!
00:47:27.775 --> 00:47:31.619
It's alright, it's alright, we
believe you. Just one more detail,
00:47:31.682 --> 00:47:35.304
- did you try to follow that woman?
- No, I would never have caught her
00:47:35.605 --> 00:47:38.591
And you didn't think of going
into Mrs. Glove's apartment?
00:47:38.686 --> 00:47:43.530
No, not at all. I thought it might
have been something... personal
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:48.772
You know, something between
women, a fight or... well, you know
00:47:49.009 --> 00:47:51.568
Alright, if you remember
anything else let me know
00:47:51.647 --> 00:47:54.283
You'll have to sleep here,
in a chair or something
00:47:55.395 --> 00:47:57.183
Am... am I under arrest then?
00:47:57.651 --> 00:48:01.399
But, but, I'm just a humble tailor,
00:48:02.511 --> 00:48:06.927
I've always behaved myself!
It's absurd, absurd!
00:48:07.070 --> 00:48:10.103
You're not under arrest, you can go
back to your apartment if you like
00:48:10.230 --> 00:48:12.804
If we find you dead tomorrow
it won't be anyone's fault
00:48:13.121 --> 00:48:18.155
If Sexy or whoever it is saw
you and figures you've been here...
00:48:18.584 --> 00:48:20.634
Well, do as you like
00:48:21.206 --> 00:48:26.301
No, no Lieutenant, I can sleep anywhere,
the chair, the table, the ground
00:48:26.637 --> 00:48:28.845
Wherever, I can sleep wherever
00:48:30.068 --> 00:48:32.006
Or... or I just won't sleep
00:48:33.181 --> 00:48:35.993
Yes, I don't think I'll sleep tonight
00:48:38.088 --> 00:48:40.646
Please, may I have
a large cup of tea?
00:49:29.906 --> 00:49:33.385
This is stupid!
Stupid and senseless!
00:49:33.607 --> 00:49:36.450
Don't make a fuss Carpas,
it's not stupid at all
00:49:36.641 --> 00:49:39.181
We have a Sexy Cat
right in front of us
00:49:39.293 --> 00:49:43.472
She's an actress, this is a
television set, a backdrop,
00:49:43.946 --> 00:49:47.106
and you're talking
about a real criminal
00:49:47.789 --> 00:49:52.142
It's easy to make a disguise like
that. Black spandex, gloves, a mask
00:49:52.729 --> 00:49:56.334
That's nonsense, no one would be
on the streets dressed like that
00:49:56.573 --> 00:49:59.209
Wearing a raincoat and
a hat, and in a car...
00:49:59.257 --> 00:50:03.186
So in brief: you're back to
see me because I'm a suspect,
00:50:03.338 --> 00:50:05.261
the prime suspect, right?
00:50:05.403 --> 00:50:09.913
Now you'll dredge up my
relationship with poor Carla,
00:50:10.564 --> 00:50:14.638
and the police will jump down my
throat for having created a comic
00:50:15.124 --> 00:50:18.205
- Is that my crime?
- I don't know what the police is thinking,
00:50:18.411 --> 00:50:21.238
but you and your character are
in the middle of this whole mess
00:50:21.318 --> 00:50:24.526
This is a plot to ruin
me and my creation!
00:50:24.796 --> 00:50:28.370
You think so? Have you looked at
the newspapers? On the front pages,
00:50:28.418 --> 00:50:32.785
right alongside the lead stories on the
crimes are pictures of your famous Sexy Cat
00:50:33.071 --> 00:50:35.961
- You call that ruining your creation?
- Listen gumshoe,
00:50:36.375 --> 00:50:41.681
I don't need publicity for my comic,
it sells millions of copies every day
00:50:42.108 --> 00:50:45.270
and I charge massive sums
for the rights every month
00:50:45.587 --> 00:50:49.208
Why do you suppose I'd risk a stupid-
00:50:49.256 --> 00:50:51.702
Paul, I'm going to
take a coffee break
00:50:52.083 --> 00:50:54.800
Yes, go, I'm tired too
00:50:55.657 --> 00:50:59.395
- Do you want anything else Cash?
- No, not at the moment
00:50:59.580 --> 00:51:02.821
I'll be around, and I'll see
you when you've calmed down
00:51:15.825 --> 00:51:17.905
I apologize for having interrupted
00:51:24.132 --> 00:51:25.684
You wanted to speak with me?
00:51:25.721 --> 00:51:29.278
You're a pretty woman. Honestly,
I find you more attractive than Carpas
00:51:32.407 --> 00:51:34.972
You think I might be a killer?
00:51:36.473 --> 00:51:37.537
Why not?
00:51:38.839 --> 00:51:42.747
Is that your only interest in me
Cash? Just that? Don't you like me?
00:51:43.143 --> 00:51:46.554
- Who doesn't like a girl like you?
- Carpas likes me too
00:51:47.067 --> 00:51:49.798
He says I'll go far, that
he'll help me all the way
00:51:51.084 --> 00:51:53.722
- And Gale?
- Her time ran out
00:51:53.944 --> 00:51:55.723
And so will yours, Sugar
00:51:56.549 --> 00:52:02.139
We'll see, I'm more than I seem to be. I
might even become the second Mrs. Carpas
00:52:03.808 --> 00:52:07.843
Sugar, you didn't go out dressed
like that to kill someone, right?
00:52:08.272 --> 00:52:10.082
Would I tell you if I did?
00:52:11.291 --> 00:52:16.388
Alright Sugar, good luck. I'll watch the
show tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be a hit
00:52:16.977 --> 00:52:18.892
Thank you, I hope so as well
00:52:20.058 --> 00:52:21.970
If I weren't so ambitious...
00:52:22.837 --> 00:52:24.187
What would you do?
00:52:24.330 --> 00:52:28.263
You're a very attractive man, but
you don't seem to have much money
00:52:37.101 --> 00:52:39.282
Do you think I'm an attractive man?
00:52:40.087 --> 00:52:45.884
I wouldn't know. But it's true, women
can read your dollar value on your face
00:52:46.439 --> 00:52:48.012
and they're never wrong
00:52:48.186 --> 00:52:53.273
Sugar needs an account with four
zeros at the end, at very least
00:52:55.094 --> 00:52:58.889
Do you want an account with four zeros
and some other number in front of them?
00:52:59.414 --> 00:53:05.069
- Well now, Paul Carpas' great love
- No, the woman who hates Paul Carpas most
00:53:05.418 --> 00:53:08.039
Couldn't it be jealousy that
makes you talk like that?
00:53:08.150 --> 00:53:10.517
There's neither passion or jealousy in this
00:53:10.787 --> 00:53:13.198
I'm telling you I'd be
willing to kill to destroy him
00:53:14.598 --> 00:53:17.696
That's serious. Maybe
you've already started?
00:53:17.918 --> 00:53:21.555
If you mean those
crimes then don't worry,
00:53:22.953 --> 00:53:24.780
I'd only kill Carpas
00:53:26.067 --> 00:53:27.663
Is it about Sugar?
00:53:28.004 --> 00:53:30.950
It's about a lot of things
that only a woman can feel
00:53:32.102 --> 00:53:34.998
But at least I have money
00:53:36.073 --> 00:53:38.121
I can offer you a tidy sum
00:53:39.154 --> 00:53:40.203
For example?
00:53:40.822 --> 00:53:43.443
Let's say... ten thousand dollars
00:53:43.664 --> 00:53:49.049
A pretty woman has never offered me so
much. So what do I have to do, kill for you?
00:53:49.636 --> 00:53:54.821
I'm not asking for that much, I just want
you to find Carpas guilty of those crimes
00:53:55.306 --> 00:53:57.789
If you manage that
then the money's yours
00:53:57.911 --> 00:54:01.075
- That'd be quite easy if he's guilty
- He is!
00:54:01.867 --> 00:54:03.884
You sound like a woman who hates him
00:54:04.266 --> 00:54:07.242
Prove that he's guilty and
you'll earn ten thousand dollars
00:54:08.792 --> 00:54:12.457
You can find proof and testimony,
legal or not. Do whatever it takes
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:14.700
And if he's innocent?
00:54:14.763 --> 00:54:18.707
Suppose I raised the
sum to 15 thousand,
00:54:19.162 --> 00:54:21.784
that's more money than you'd
earn in your entire life
00:54:22.164 --> 00:54:25.468
No. If I discover Carpas is
guilty then you'll hear about if,
00:54:25.897 --> 00:54:28.962
and if your joy leads you to
giving me that money then go ahead,
00:54:28.995 --> 00:54:32.325
- but only if that's the case Gale
- It has to be now!
00:54:32.854 --> 00:54:35.729
Accept and you can have
five thousand by tomorrow
00:54:35.856 --> 00:54:38.936
You're terrible, terrible
and surprising Gale
00:54:39.271 --> 00:54:43.161
No, I'm afraid I can't accept a
single dollar from you. Goodbye
00:55:19.357 --> 00:55:20.660
A double whiskey
00:55:30.286 --> 00:55:34.749
Could you make that two? Hello Mr.
Cash, you've finally decided to come
00:55:35.240 --> 00:55:38.545
If it were up to me I would have come
sooner, but things are getting complicated
00:55:38.751 --> 00:55:43.945
- Don't tell me you're still in a mess
- A mess? I'm at a dead end
00:55:44.549 --> 00:55:47.694
Come on, we'll be able to
speak more comfortably over here
00:56:00.649 --> 00:56:02.825
Did you already hear about Carla Glove?
00:56:03.492 --> 00:56:04.955
Yes, poor girl
00:56:09.384 --> 00:56:11.655
You're not mixed up
in that too, are you?
00:56:12.021 --> 00:56:17.262
No, I simply found her in her apartment,
asphyxiated with a plastic bag,
00:56:19.215 --> 00:56:20.538
but that's it
00:56:20.820 --> 00:56:24.743
You're starting to become a sign
of bad luck, don't you think?
00:56:25.235 --> 00:56:27.697
One must be careful
when dealing with you
00:56:29.794 --> 00:56:31.874
It's not my fault Mrs. St. James
00:56:33.430 --> 00:56:36.258
- Excuse me, Liz
- That's better
00:56:37.211 --> 00:56:42.007
Mike, do you think someone really
wants to ruin Carpas and the publisher?
00:56:42.611 --> 00:56:47.106
I don't know. As far as Carpas goes,
I have the suspicion he'll ruin himself
00:56:47.678 --> 00:56:51.522
Aside from his lack of scruples, I had
a conversation with Gale Crystal today
00:56:51.759 --> 00:56:54.955
- and she doesn't seem too happy
- There's been a change of lovers, right?
00:56:55.603 --> 00:56:59.447
- It seems like Sugar Lane will be the next
- Why do you think that?
00:56:59.622 --> 00:57:00.845
Simple logic
00:57:02.274 --> 00:57:05.450
I think Carpas is playing a risky
game, Gale could be dangerous
00:57:06.197 --> 00:57:07.722
Well, like any woman
00:57:08.853 --> 00:57:11.728
I'm not... or am I?
00:57:25.165 --> 00:57:29.409
Let's forget all this,
Carpas, the publisher, crimes
00:57:30.136 --> 00:57:34.950
I'll make sure you won't think about any
more horrible things, at least for tonight
00:57:46.005 --> 00:57:47.030
You drive
00:57:56.933 --> 00:57:58.497
Alright, where to?
00:57:58.807 --> 00:58:02.301
I have an apartment on the outskirts
of the city. Would you like a drink?
00:58:02.428 --> 00:58:03.731
Naturally
00:58:32.161 --> 00:58:33.479
Good evening sir
00:58:44.518 --> 00:58:46.345
- Good evening sir
- Hello
00:58:47.425 --> 00:58:51.951
Ms. Gale called an hour ago to let you
know she won't be joining you for dinner
00:58:52.332 --> 00:58:57.414
We also received a call from the television
studio asking you to come in at 9 am
00:58:59.463 --> 00:59:01.243
- Prepare a bath
- Yes sir
00:59:20.777 --> 00:59:21.905
Leave me be!
00:59:22.731 --> 00:59:24.954
You can go, I'll call you later
00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:28.719
- Is the gentleman going out tonight?
- No, I'll have dinner at home
00:59:30.037 --> 00:59:31.022
Yes sir
00:59:35.898 --> 00:59:38.662
- Does your husband know this place?
- I don't think so,
00:59:38.709 --> 00:59:41.409
at least we never run
into each other here
00:59:50.097 --> 00:59:51.320
Forget Cameron
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:54.712
That's exactly what I'm trying to do
00:59:54.814 --> 00:59:55.571
Wait
01:00:16.392 --> 01:00:17.646
Not right now
01:01:07.230 --> 01:01:08.183
Charles!
01:01:40.936 --> 01:01:43.827
It must be a wrong number,
no one knows we're here
01:01:44.098 --> 01:01:46.623
One person does, Lieutenant Cole
01:01:47.323 --> 01:01:50.785
I'm under surveillance as a
suspect, that damned Inspector
01:01:52.278 --> 01:01:53.913
Yes, it's me Lieutenant
01:01:55.962 --> 01:01:56.788
What?
01:01:59.901 --> 01:02:01.238
I'm on my way
01:02:03.285 --> 01:02:04.857
This is getting more complicated
01:02:05.096 --> 01:02:08.450
They tried to murder Mrs. Singh
and they've kidnapped her son
01:02:09.067 --> 01:02:10.782
And a fine time to do it
01:02:24.107 --> 01:02:26.315
Why did you wait so long
to let us know Mrs. Singh?
01:02:26.395 --> 01:02:28.247
I lost consciousness
01:02:28.555 --> 01:02:32.700
I don't know if it was fear or pain,
but when I came to I called the service
01:02:32.938 --> 01:02:35.498
The first thing they
did is find the doctor
01:02:36.544 --> 01:02:39.085
- Who discovered your son's absence?
- Me
01:02:41.325 --> 01:02:42.865
I did, Inspector
01:02:44.518 --> 01:02:48.186
- And how did whoever get in?
- The windows on the terrace were open,
01:02:48.281 --> 01:02:50.074
I suppose it was through there
01:02:50.314 --> 01:02:54.364
because when I went into my bedroom I
heard a noise, and when I turned around
01:02:54.412 --> 01:02:59.208
someone shot something like a
shotgun. I think it was a crossbow
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:04.943
It must have been my fright that saved me,
because at that moment I tripped on the door
01:03:05.800 --> 01:03:07.824
when I tried to turn on the light
01:03:09.723 --> 01:03:11.725
Did you see the figure clearly?
01:03:13.233 --> 01:03:15.584
I already told you I saw it perfectly
01:03:17.554 --> 01:03:22.488
You could see her in the light that
came from the salon, it was Sexy Cat
01:03:23.986 --> 01:03:28.179
Now you must remain completely
still and rest as much as possible
01:03:29.053 --> 01:03:33.863
You can't be serious Doctor, I can't
do that while Malcolm is in danger
01:03:35.485 --> 01:03:37.359
What are you going to do Inspector?
01:03:37.788 --> 01:03:42.156
The most urgent thing now is the boy. How
the hell could a woman have carried him off?
01:03:42.331 --> 01:03:46.048
There must have been someone else
outside. I think I remember hearing
01:03:46.143 --> 01:03:51.656
something outside, though I'm not sure,
something like many footsteps on the grass
01:03:52.782 --> 01:03:54.814
Another question: is this yours?
01:03:54.895 --> 01:03:56.990
No, it's Dr. Prentis'
01:04:22.312 --> 01:04:23.328
Hello boss
01:04:23.742 --> 01:04:26.031
If you have anything on
your mind, out with it
01:04:26.536 --> 01:04:28.744
Yes I do, but it's not fit for polite company
01:04:28.792 --> 01:04:34.208
Then don't say it. What I
want is ideas, understand?
01:04:36.384 --> 01:04:39.533
I don't understand a thing in this mess
01:04:40.307 --> 01:04:41.663
And I should?
01:04:45.168 --> 01:04:47.232
Listen boss, didn't the boy scream?
01:04:47.359 --> 01:04:50.234
Yes, a servant said
she heard the scream
01:04:51.250 --> 01:04:53.570
You think they hit
him to knock him out?
01:04:53.697 --> 01:04:55.459
Yes, that's most likely...
01:04:56.729 --> 01:04:59.010
... but why didn't they kill him?
01:04:59.350 --> 01:05:01.407
It looks like Sexy Cat needs money
01:05:03.251 --> 01:05:05.745
You think they'll ask
for a ransom, right?
01:05:06.285 --> 01:05:10.684
I don't know, but if we lose this
opportunity to unmask the killer
01:05:11.527 --> 01:05:14.036
I doubt we'll get a better one
01:05:16.467 --> 01:05:17.657
I have it!
01:05:18.435 --> 01:05:22.629
We won't move from this spot
until the phone rings, understand?
01:05:26.107 --> 01:05:27.600
If it rings, that is
01:05:35.177 --> 01:05:38.051
Yes?
It's for you, Inspector
01:05:41.910 --> 01:05:42.625
Yes?
01:05:48.231 --> 01:05:50.836
Now Carpas?! Yes, I'm on my way
01:05:51.106 --> 01:05:52.933
Carpas has been murdered?
01:05:57.730 --> 01:06:01.542
This doesn't make sense,
I refuse to go on
01:06:03.383 --> 01:06:06.306
Pretty soon there won't be
anyone left in the city
01:06:09.276 --> 01:06:13.152
Do you think the kidnapping might have been
to distract us so they could kill Carpas?
01:06:14.009 --> 01:06:17.488
They may have thought he was being guarded
and this way they'd draw our attention
01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:20.760
And what inference do you
make from all this Cash?
01:06:21.078 --> 01:06:25.910
That the killer or killers aren't up to
date, or at least weren't close to Carpas
01:06:27.002 --> 01:06:27.732
And?
01:06:28.257 --> 01:06:32.402
- And so we mustn't suspect anyone we know
- Who would you rule out?
01:06:33.180 --> 01:06:38.755
I think we can rule out Gale
Crystal, Sugar, Lynn, Mrs. St. James
01:06:39.359 --> 01:06:40.567
Is that right?
01:06:42.378 --> 01:06:44.697
Your little friend Elizabeth St. James?
01:06:46.667 --> 01:06:48.906
You ordered me to keep an eye on her
01:06:49.525 --> 01:06:53.480
And couldn't you have left your
personal business for another occasion?
01:07:00.723 --> 01:07:04.368
I wouldn't rule anyone out,
especially those closest to us,
01:07:04.661 --> 01:07:06.662
they have a wider field of action
01:07:08.060 --> 01:07:11.968
This double play was
planned out beforehand
01:07:14.573 --> 01:07:16.780
Of course, I have it!
01:07:21.625 --> 01:07:25.077
I don't understand a single
thing, I've already said so
01:07:25.484 --> 01:07:28.296
And Mr. St. James?
I think he's on a trip
01:07:29.297 --> 01:07:32.615
Under surveillance. He's over
a thousand miles from the city
01:07:35.427 --> 01:07:36.952
Him and his girlfriend
01:07:38.556 --> 01:07:40.787
- Belda Lynn?
- Under surveillance
01:07:40.955 --> 01:07:43.734
- Dr. Prentis?
- Under surveillance
01:07:44.433 --> 01:07:46.164
- You?
- Under surveill-
01:07:50.945 --> 01:07:55.332
One question. How much time went by between
when you left Mr. Carpas in the bathroom
01:07:55.614 --> 01:07:59.268
- and your going up to give him a massage?
- 45 minutes sir
01:08:10.783 --> 01:08:15.103
And aside from that, do you have any
idea what might have happened here?
01:08:15.357 --> 01:08:17.533
No sir, I don't have the slightest idea
01:08:17.628 --> 01:08:21.534
- Then you're in the same boat as I am
- Very kind sir. Excuse me
01:08:22.536 --> 01:08:25.094
I hope they haven't
murdered Sexy Cat too
01:08:28.476 --> 01:08:31.669
- How are you Inspector?
- Just here staring at the new corpse
01:08:31.907 --> 01:08:34.992
- Come on, tell us what happened to him
- Mr. Inspector, it's for you
01:08:35.042 --> 01:08:36.036
Thank you
01:08:37.703 --> 01:08:40.944
Yes... at first sight
it looks like claw marks
01:08:41.340 --> 01:08:44.755
- What do you mean, claw marks?
- But not from a common animal's claws
01:08:45.454 --> 01:08:49.981
How strange. They're deeper,
like they were made with steel
01:08:50.235 --> 01:08:53.253
- Well, the autopsy will tell us
- The call, Cash!
01:08:53.555 --> 01:08:56.796
They're asking for a 100 thousand
dollar ransom for the boy!
01:09:01.672 --> 01:09:03.118
How did you get it?
01:09:04.340 --> 01:09:08.290
We got in contact with
Mr. Griff right away
01:09:08.819 --> 01:09:12.170
He's the president of the bank that
handles Mrs. Singh's business dealings
01:09:12.249 --> 01:09:16.107
- and the cash was here in under an hour
- Making the transfer doesn't bother you?
01:09:16.171 --> 01:09:19.300
No, I'm just worried for Malcolm
01:09:20.444 --> 01:09:25.764
I believe he'll be in a
state of absolute depression
01:09:26.368 --> 01:09:29.385
and there's no one better
than I to handle the rescue,
01:09:29.497 --> 01:09:33.563
he's been my patient for many years
Inspector, no one knows him as well as I do
01:09:34.182 --> 01:09:37.915
But you'll have to go alone, you won't
have anyone to help you if there's trouble
01:09:38.407 --> 01:09:41.658
We can't act until the boy is
safe or we'd be risking his life
01:09:41.981 --> 01:09:46.000
In any case we must do it, and I don't
think there's anyone more suited than I am
01:09:46.127 --> 01:09:49.732
Did you treat Mr. Singh
Doctor? Professionally, I mean
01:09:49.986 --> 01:09:54.593
I've been a friend of the family for years,
I did happen to treat him as a patient
01:09:55.609 --> 01:09:56.784
What did he die of?
01:09:57.023 --> 01:10:01.326
He was hospitalized due to a heart
attack diagnosed by a colleague of mine
01:10:01.899 --> 01:10:05.535
- He recovered and vanished from the clinic
- Vanished?
01:10:05.917 --> 01:10:10.682
A body was found in the river,
one in an advanced state of decay
01:10:11.683 --> 01:10:15.400
When the autopsy was carried out, it
was proven that the man had perished
01:10:15.590 --> 01:10:18.100
due to a heart attack
01:10:21.896 --> 01:10:26.152
Mrs. Singh identified
the cadaver as her husbands
01:10:26.311 --> 01:10:29.663
- When did this happen Doctor?
- Six or seven years ago
01:10:30.758 --> 01:10:35.221
I should go, the meeting is in an hour and
I have more than half that in travel time
01:10:35.825 --> 01:10:39.271
Very well, you can tell me later.
We can continue this some other time
01:10:39.938 --> 01:10:42.177
Good luck Doctor, you'll need it
01:10:42.924 --> 01:10:45.926
- Do you want a revolver?
- No Inspector, thank you
01:10:55.835 --> 01:10:57.742
We'll be waiting for you here
01:10:58.075 --> 01:11:00.823
- Try to calm Mrs. Singh down
- Don't worry Doctor
01:11:01.458 --> 01:11:02.824
Goodbye Doctor
01:11:08.606 --> 01:11:10.782
Let's take a look at the kid's room
01:11:24.267 --> 01:11:28.190
Well Cash, what do you think
of the story the Doctor told me?
01:11:28.333 --> 01:11:29.889
It's very interesting
01:11:30.652 --> 01:11:33.527
Mr. Singh could be
out there playing ghost
01:11:33.797 --> 01:11:36.910
I don't know Inspector, this thing
doesn't seem to be coming to an end
01:11:36.989 --> 01:11:38.403
Don't you know-
01:11:42.802 --> 01:11:45.868
Don't you think it's a bad
time to be playing darts?
01:11:46.503 --> 01:11:48.949
I'm going to go see
how Mrs. Singh is doing
01:13:52.203 --> 01:13:53.521
Where is the boy?
01:13:59.653 --> 01:14:01.099
Want to make a deal?
01:14:03.068 --> 01:14:05.895
I'll go to the car and
come back in 15 minutes
01:14:06.149 --> 01:14:09.819
If I find Malcolm here I'll say
I gave the money to a masked man
01:14:11.613 --> 01:14:16.807
No one will know that Sexy Cat was here,
I just want you to give Malcolm back
01:14:25.590 --> 01:14:27.163
You can't kill me!
01:14:28.354 --> 01:14:32.786
I'm the only one you can't murder!
You know I'd never turn you in,
01:14:32.865 --> 01:14:35.105
and without me you'd fail at every turn
01:15:07.530 --> 01:15:08.562
Malcolm!
01:15:38.430 --> 01:15:43.405
No Doctor, you thought I was in your
control but you're mistaken, I never was
01:15:43.609 --> 01:15:47.039
I wanted to make sure you
knew the identity of Sexy Cat
01:15:47.151 --> 01:15:51.233
You haven't been very smart, now
it's a matter of your life or mine
01:15:51.344 --> 01:15:54.246
You won't be able to escape
Malcolm, you've gone too far
01:15:54.340 --> 01:15:58.137
I've accomplished my mission. My father
died because of everyone's betrayals
01:15:58.184 --> 01:16:00.376
and now they've all died for my father
01:16:11.376 --> 01:16:15.886
The time has come to say goodbye to this
farcical world I've lived in for six years,
01:16:15.950 --> 01:16:20.127
to a wheelchair I didn't need,
to a meekness I didn't feel
01:16:20.714 --> 01:16:24.035
I've been smarter than everyone
else and now I want to live
01:16:35.432 --> 01:16:37.655
- You never fooled me
- I know
01:16:37.830 --> 01:16:41.643
In a certain sense you were my accomplice,
but I was smarter than you as well
01:16:41.945 --> 01:16:46.233
I made you doubt. I was never Malcolm
Singh, that's what you'll never understand
01:16:46.439 --> 01:16:49.155
Neither will anyone else.
Humans are limited creatures
01:16:49.361 --> 01:16:52.206
Us comic book characters
contain the essence of the unreal
01:16:52.427 --> 01:16:55.325
and can overwhelm your absurd world
01:16:57.001 --> 01:17:00.535
I'm at the pinnacle of my story,
nothing is impossible for me
01:17:00.654 --> 01:17:04.324
You'll remain here amid this
garbage and I'll continue on my way
01:17:04.483 --> 01:17:09.030
Sexy Cat acknowledges no obstacles,
she's beyond good and evil
01:17:12.661 --> 01:17:13.568
Malcolm!
01:21:50.363 --> 01:21:51.205
Cash!
01:22:37.206 --> 01:22:38.319
Malcolm!
01:22:58.041 --> 01:22:59.514
Malcolm, stop!
01:23:02.834 --> 01:23:05.802
Malcolm! Stop or I'll shoot!
