Original subtitles

Our driver is Simon, some sort of a girl friday.

This is our gardener. He just returned from his holidays.

Se�or De Brazi is our new gym teacher and he takes over the swimming lessons.

This is our riding teacher, Richard Barret.

He was in Paris, where he won a riding event.

Mr. Barret has been in our school for 2 months now.

He is very popular with the girls.

Are you jealous?

How long have you been teaching in this boarding school, Ms. Martin?

For 3 years. Time passed by very quickly.

It was not my intention to stay here for so long.

I was a substitute, too.

But I feel so comfortable that I finally stayed without regrets.

We will arrive in a moment Ms. Clay.

The girls were already nervous when we left.

They are curious and they can hardly wait to meet the new teachers.

Besides, they are pleased with any change.

How many are they?

6 at the moment. Most of them went home or spend the vacations with their parents.

You are teaching natural history. Then this will be very interesting to you.

The girls call it the bughouse.

There is a collection of rare birds, butterflies and insects.

To me it's kind of eerie.

An entomologist has built it with his plans.

Now these lovely animals live in it.

Sounds very interesting. Is somebody else living there?

No. Prof. Andr�, who takes care of the animals, owns a house near by.

I think that he and this entomologist are friends.

Look. There you can see our schoolgirls.

Hey kids! We've got to go there!

Where do we have to go to?

Don't you want to welcome the new members of the council?

What do I care?

I almost forgot. Of course you're not interested in them.

We all know to whom your heart belongs.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

Lucille, don't you think that Betty Ann's sudden love for horses is a bit weird?

Gille. Stop gossiping!

I don't care. Let Gille talk. I don't hear it.

What are you still doing here? The new gym teacher surely is your kind of man.

Go! He probably is an 60 year old playboy. Isn't that your kind of man?

I'm convinced that he's young and exactly the type of man that the doctor prescribed for little Gille.

A man with fire. After all he is ... Italian.

Who is Italian?

Cynthia! You must be joking? Don't you listen?

Gille hasn't been talking about anything else for the past few days.

Would you come with me Margaret?

I need someone to hold me back when I will overcome by passion.

Don't you want to welcome your beloved Richard?

Gille. Leave me alone. Your stupid jokes are getting on my nerves!

Listen to that! Our sweet Gille is in love! And she's got to be interested in horses if she wants to stay close to her lover.

And now listen. Lucille has got only one chance...

Do you come along, Lucille? I'm going now.

Yes. We'll see.

Hey!

Wait! Wait for me!

I am fascinated! He is even more beautiful than I thought.

He could become Mr. Universe right away!

I'll tell him that I don't know how to swim, then he must give me lessons.

Then he will touch me with his strong hands.

Look! There is the new teacher.

Everything is well groomed.

Yes. The gardener works very well.

I leave you alone. I'll change clothes.

Ok.

Come.

Good afternoon, Ms. Transfield.

Ms. Clay.

Se�or De Brazi.

Nice to meet you.

Would you please come in.

Denise, I think I'm in love!

This is the man I've always dreamt of. This body! That's unbelievable.

Let's go!

Come on! Give it to me.

Be careful! It is very heavy.

What is in that case, a corpse?

Well, it is heavy enough.

Don't you think that the body was mutilated?

Take it to the principal's office. She is a vampire.

Where is Lucille?

That's none of your business!

Excuse me lady.

Excuse me. Do you have a package for sweet Gille?

Ask La Foret. He picked up the mail.

Yes I did. There is a package.

Simon. Give it to her. It is under the front seat.

Thank you!

What did you get?

It is a bomb! I ordered it to blow us off!

Please inform me so that I can hide myself early enough.

Come on, let's go!

Ms. Transfield.

Do you like your new room?

Yes, it is beautiful.

My little surprise has worked?

You are one of my best employees, that's why I like to have you always near by.

This room is next to mine.

Shall we bring up the luggage, Ms. Transfield?

No.

Keep it here for now.

Nice to see you again!

Did you miss me?

Our friend didn't make trouble?

He is alright. - Good boy.

Unfortunately, it's not easy with him when you are not here.

This morning he has always denied the wall. I've done my best.

If you had been next to me, it surely wouldn't have happened.

Whoops!

We can handle this. We just have to train a lot.

What about tomorrow afternoon? - That's fine.

That's nice.

And the wonderful virgin spoke ''I always have plenty of time.''

Did I hear a voice speaking words full of jealousness?

Who said this?

Jealous? Me? Of whom?

There it is again. The jealous voice.

Perhaps, the owner of this voice does have always time, too?

I am not jealous. But this stupid...

Ah, you're scared of horses, that's it!

Ridiculous, horses are the world's most gentle animals.

But they inspire us and show us a world of dreams.

You are a crazy guy.

Right. And what about you my lady? - I don't answer this.

Answer or I call my servant to let you get whipped until you'll talk.

No, sir. I'm just a poor girl. My name is Little Red Riding Hood.

I am talking to Little Red Riding Hood? But...

You have met the Big Bad Wolf?

Yes, that's right. And who are you?

My parents call me Richard.

Are you Richard the famous king?

That's me, my lady?

What a great honor, sir.

No, it's an honor to me.

May I ask you a humble question Where will we meet?

In the bughouse. Will you be there?

A romantic place for lovers.

Meet me there in 1 hour.

I'll be there in 2 hours.

Tell me, if I am wasting your time!

Okay Mademoiselle Lucille, good bye!

I'll be there, waiting for you.

Mr. Barret?

Yes Mrs. Transfield?

I would like to advise you that all teachers have to stick to the plan and are not allowed to schedule their own lessons!

Of course! - Of course.

Margaret come with me!

Where to? - In my room. - What happened? - I'll show you.

Come on!

What do you want to show me? - It's a secret!

A secret? But why show it to me?

It's a secret between you and me. Daddy gave it to me.

There it is!

What is it?

Margaret! Don't you know that?

It's a walkie-talkie, you stupid! Some sort of a private phone.

This way we can talk over a distance of 5 - 6 kilometers.

And why did you want to have it?

I need it for my work!

You mean you need it for your book? - Yes, my book!

The spy is held up in the cellar. His situation seems hopeless.

The prior is no prior, but a spy of the enemies. My hero calls for help with his walkie-talkie.

And what will happen then?

I don't know yet.

Let's try if it works.

What am I supposed to do?

You simply push that button and say your name.

I'll go in the garden. You stay here and wait.

Okay.

La Foret!

La Foret!

Yes?

Has my suitcase arrived?

Why don't you ask Ms. Martin? She takes care of the luggage.

I only wanted to know if the suitcase has been picked up.

Why do you ask me? Simon was there as well!

And where is the luggage now? - In the cellar.

Thank you for your friendly information!

The girls are asking me to learn skin-diving. But I have some objections.

Do you have objections to me or to skin-diving?

Skin-diving of course. I am convinced of your capabilities.

But we have an international reputation. The students are from the best families.

Skin-diving has become a sport of high society.

I think it is awful. Besides, it is dangerous.

Don't worry. I have very much experience.

If we really want to do it, we still need equipment.

It is not necessary. I've brought along everything we need for the first lessons.

Is anybody there?

Is anybody there?

Is anybody there?

Gille?

Gille, is it you?

Stop that nonsense! Gille!

Sorry! I thought it was one of Gille's jokes.

No! No!

Richard?

Hello, Lucille. What are you doing here?

I thought you were still on vacation and I only wanted to see if everything is alright.

That's very kind of you. You know I keep on doing the same mistake over and over again.

I'm always looking forward to spend the holidays with my sister.

But once I'm with her, she always lets me know that she is my older sister.

We fight the whole day. And then I start to miss my little ones.

You know the animals are the joy of my old days.

And that's why I return earlier than I planned, every year.

Hey you! Get yourself together! You have had already more than enough to eat.

I have to look for some worms for my darlings.

Thank you very much that you wanted to take care for the animals.

Good bye, professor!

Richard!

May I ask you, if you are Red Little Riding Hood?

You scared me to death!

I scared you. Do I look like a murderer? - You are crazy!

Crazy? I'm not crazy. I'm the Big Bad Wolf!

I have big ears.

And I will eat Little Red Riding Hood.

You can't eat me.

I waste my time then?

Yes. I'm sorry. - Then I change myself into a king.

Hello, my lady.

Better? - Yes, that's much better.

I have a date with King Richard.

Have you been waiting for a long time?

An eternity.

He was far away. He entered a contest in Paris.

Beautiful women jubilated just for him.

I'm sure he forgot Little Red Riding Hood.

Then, he has to be a fool.

But he is a good friend of mine.

I could send him to you.

But I want to earn a kiss for that.

Sir, don't make me doing this.

I love King Richard.

How much? - I can't live without him.

Have you been faithful? - I can't be unfaithful.

You will never look at other men? - For sure.

However, you like me, don't you?

Very much.

If you'll come at 10 o'clock this evening,

Richard will be there. - I'll be punctual.

I count every minute from now till then.

I love you.

What are you doing in Se�or De Brazi's room, Gille?

Excuse me. We've repeated a lesson. - Egregious!

Why, Ms. Transfield? - You're not dressed, you unmoral person!

He is a serious teacher where you have to undress even outside the swimming pool.

Ms. Martin is walking around.

Ms. Martin, are you getting lessons too?

Good day. Don't feel disturbed.

I'm searching for Betty Ann. Do you know where she is?

I'm here. - Betty Ann, where have you been?

Gille! - Yes - - Why do you make a fool of me?

I said that I have seen Betty Ann. - Where?

On her way to La Foret. - Why?- - I don't know.

We'll talk about this again. Sit down.

Where did you get that diving-suit, Gille? - From my father.

Why did you put it on? - I'm preparing myself for Se�or De Brazi's lessons.

Did you see Betty Ann? - No, Ms. Martin.

I tell you. La Foret has murdered Betty Ann. - Stupid joke.

A joke? He even persecuted me.

Where is she? It's getting dark.

In the dusk the murderer attacks. - No!

She is definitely in the hippodrome. She is crazy about entering a contest.

I don't think so. I know somebody who is much more interested in this.

Am I right, Lucille? - You're talking crazy.

Peace girls, peace. - Lovers can't take jokes.

Wendy, stop bothering me! - Don't be so touchy.

We all know that the lovely Richard... - Wendy!

If you don't stop, I... - Lucille!

Still nothing? - I have searched everywhere?

Who has seen Betty Ann for the last time? - Gille.

She wanted to get her suitcase. - She went to La Foret?

I've seen her leaving from him still alive. - Unbelievable!

Betty Ann isn't dead. Where did you get this?

I'm an author. I write crime novels.

You should concentrate more on your homework. - Yes.

Betty Ann wanted to get her suitcase? - Yes, La Foret said that it was in the cellar.

Perhaps he clucked her to murder her.

Gille has got a great imaginatio, but let's have a look in the cellar.

Come with me.

The switch seems to be broken.

Don't go down there. - We don't need lights.

Shall I come with you? - No, stay here. I walk alone.

Betty Ann?

Betty Ann?

There are spiders! Watch out!

Gille. Could you just stop making this jokes for one time?

Maybe this is just another trick. Better watch out.

She isn't down here.

Did you really look everywhere?

She isn't here, for sure. - Maybe she passed out,...

...felt into the open suitcase and it locked up.

Don't strain your imagination too much. Go back to the others.

Yes.

Did you find her? - No.

Shouldn't we inform the police? - This is still not necessary.

We must avoid any scandals. - Maybe she went downtown.

Simon already searches downtown. But I don't trust her to break the boarding school rules.

I don't believe that you have to worry. - I don't worry.

But this may not happen again!

Ms. Martin, I hope next time you'll be open to conviction. - Yes, Ms. Transfield.

Ms. Clay, tell the girls that nobody may leave its room and control that it's done so.

Shouldn't we search the park? Maybe she just went for a walk, felt and is waiting for help with a broken leg.

This sounds quite improbable but let's have a try.

It's so boring. I go and have a walk.

Ms. Martin told us to stay in the room. - I'll go.

Better stay here. Ms. Clay walks around and puts on guard.

Where have you been? - I listened at the doors.

I bet you thought that I was with Se�or De Braz,but he didn't have time for private lessons.

This is Cynthia Fellos' room, right? - Yes, that's me.

What are you doing here? - We are just leaving.

May I have a walk in the park? - Nobody may leave its room.

Don't try to break this rule. Otherwise I must inform Ms. Transfield.

Denise. I have a date with Richard this evening.

When? - At 10 o'clock.

But if you will not stay in your room, you'll get in trouble.

I don't care. But I don't know how to get out.

Nobody may leave the house - Shut the door!

We still don't know where Betty Ann is.

Now they search for the corpse in the park.

A corpse? - Betty Ann's corpse, but they won't find it.

How can you talk like that? - Everything belongs to my novel.

My spy has found a place to hide after a big persecution.

He contacts his boss with his walkie-talkie.

I offered Ms. Transfield this one. - What did she say?

She said that she would prefer her whistle.

Nothing, Ms. Transfield.

Nothing.

I told you she wouldn't be here.

10 o'clock. Lights off. Ridiculous. They are stupid.

You're right. It's not our fault that she doesn't come back.

I get angry about Betty Ann.

The principal is also very angry. I think she will turf her out.

What are you doing here, Denise?

Go back into your room, immediately!

Where are you going to do, Lucille? - I take a shower.

You have the knowledge.

She reminds me of somebody. - Lucille?

No, Ms. Clay. She reminds me of a Werewolf.

I already knew it, thank you.

Switch the light off! Ms. Clay walks around.

Greetings! I'm prepared. I'm able to read in the dark.

Please switch the lights off.

I fret about this girl. Maybe something happened?

I'm convinced that she will come back.

I admire your tranquility. You must have a brass neck.

I've got a long experience. - I didn't know that, excuse me.

I just passed the gym. The lights are on.

Se�or De Brazi might be in there.

Someone should look for it.

I'll do it.

Richard!

What happened? Why are you running away?

Richard! - Talk to me! What happened?

Betty Ann is dead! - What are you talking?

Yes, she is dead! I saw her.

Where? - She's in the bughouse.

It's dark in the bughouse. You were frightened because we played Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf.

Please believe me. I saw her behind the curtain.

I swear it!

Let's have a look then. - No! I can't!

It's nothing here.

How is it possible? I saw her.

Richard. I swear it.

You don't believe me! You think that I'm crazy! - Please, don't scream. - I'm not crazy! - Stop!

Please forgive me. Stop crying.

You just thought about Betty Ann, too much.

You've seen her in your imagination.

Richard. I am so scared.

I don't want to stay any longer in this school. Please take me away.

Calm down! Have the sense, please.

Let me think about...

Somebody is coming.

Stay here and behave calm.

Go to your room, pack your bags and wait at the swimming pool at 3 o'clock, okay?

Yes, Richard. I will be there.

It's you? I thought I heard screams.

That's why I'm here, too. But nothing.

That's the famous bughouse from the inside.

Strange. I have heard somebody screaming.

I could swear that it came out of this house.

Maybe we're already so nervous that...

There he is, our screamer.

That's a Tukan.

I have to take a better look at it at daylight.

Prof. Andr� would surely like that.

That's his kingdom.

Do you live in school?

No, I live not far away from here. - Over there?

Yes, at the stables.

So we can walk this way together.

What a pleasure.

There is a shortcut. Stairs lead directly to the school.

I didn't know that. I came from gym on the other side.

Up the stairs it's much faster.

I'm living here. - It's not that dark like in the school. Nice.

I like it.

Good night, Mr. Barrett. - Good night, Ms. Clay.

Lucille, what are you doing here at this time?

I want to take a shower. It's hot and I can't sleep.

Okay, but be fast and walk directly to your bed.

Yes, Ms. Clay.

Anybody here?

Help! A killer!

Who is screaming like that?

What happened? Are you kidding again?

Lucille has been killed. She terribly screamed.

Don't talk such a nonsense!

Lucille, did you just scream?

Somebody has been at the door. - Gille!

It wasn't me. - Stop doing these things!

It wasn't Gille. - Lucille!

I hope that you aren't joking too! I don't want that anymore!

But I know that Betty Ann is dead. - Stop it now!

Who is in the bathroom? - I'll have a look. - Go.

You go to bed now!

May Denise stay here? I'm scared.

Okay, but I really don't understand you. - Let's go to bed.

Why does your face fall, Gille?

Another joke?

Cynthia lies in the bathroom.

She has been killed. - I will turf you out. Go to bed!

Gille? What's up? - She passed out.

A murder.

Aren't you waiting for such a crime?

We haven't had such a crime for a long time in this area.

Wait and see. Wouldn't be the first time that we'd come for nothing.

Might be an accident or a mistake.

I think anybody can see if somebody has been strangled or not.

I'm sure it was La Foet. Lousy guy.

All night he watches us taking a shower.

Since then I haven't taken a shower anymore.

That's interesting. Is that true?

Is that true, Gille? - Yes, Ms. Clay!

That's very important. Tell the police.

No! No!

No!

I informed the doctor and the responsible department. - Good.

Well, I suggest that you look around. I'll go to the principal.

Okay, inspector.

She was pretty.

Her name was Cynthia Fellows. British.

Her family lives in Kenya.

On Christmas she went home, but on holidays she stood here.

Do most of the families live in foreign countries?

Yes. Gille's father is a business-man, travelling around the world.

Lucille's parents died. She's all alone now.

A cousin has been appointed as a guardian, but she hasn't seen him yet.

Wendy's mother is a famous actor. She's in America now.

Could I talk to the girl who found the dead body?

Yes, this might be important. I'll talk to La Foret.

Thank you, Ms. ... - Call me Gille, please. - Gille.

No more questions?

No. That's all for now.

But I'd like to help you. - I'll call you if I'll need you.

Look, I've got a walkie-talkie.

Wonderful. Nice toy.

Unfortunately, I can't play with you. I have to work.

Does La Foret live in the school?

No, he has converted a hovel on the opposite the house.

He must have noticed that something is going on here.

Why doesn't he show up?

I don't know. Maybe he's asleep.

He sleeps very well.

I found this in a locker in the bathroom.

It was hidden. - Okay.

Well done.

Dirty. I'd like to know to whom it belongs. Can you do this?

I'll try it. - Go to La Foret overthere. I want to talk to him.

Lucille!

What kind of girl is she?

No, I can't do this Lucille.

Nobody will notice that you lie in my bed.

Just cover you head.

There is no reason to run away.

Don't loose your mind.

I can't stay here. The murderer wants to kill me!

Why do you think this?

Because I found Betty Ann's dead body.

You should have told the police. Where is the body?

I don't know. It has disappeared.

The police will think that I'm crazy.

Are you sure? No mistake?

You don't believe me either! - That's not important.

But you may not run away just like that.

I can't stand this anymore. Help me. You've to meet Richard at 3 o'clock.

Why aren't you still sleeping?

Go into your room. - Please, let her stay.

I agree, but be quite now.

Try to remember any detail.

Maybe it's not important,...

...but Lucille was in the bathroom, ten minutes before it happened.

Are you sure? - Ms. Clay saw her too.

Ten minutes before...

Maybe it was a mistake and Lucille should have been murdered.

The question is: What was the killers motive?

Lucille would get half a million pounds from her parents.

Maybe that's already a good motive. I want to talk to her.

It's interesting to know where she has been this evening.

Watch out! The inspector is looking for you.

Can't you stop this for one time. - It's true!

They will question you now. Ms. Martin is coming to get you.

I just wanted to warn you.

Denise. What shall I do now? - I don't know.

But you can't go away now.

Moreover, do you think that Richard is the right one?

What do you know about him? You hardly know him.

I know that he loves me! Nothing else is important to me.

Lucille.

The inspector wants to talk to you.

Don't worry. It's just a formality.

On moment, Ms. Martin. - I'll escort you.

No, you don't have to wait. Denise is with me.

As you like it. But hurry up.

If I am still at the inspector at 3 o'clock, you will go to the swimming pool.

No. - Denise, please do it for me!

Richard is waiting for me, otherwise he would think that I don't want to meet him.

Why he should not wait?

If the police will find him, we can't go away anymore!

Denise!

Okay, I'll meet him. - Thank you!

3 o'clock. - Okay.

Come in.

Mademoiselle Lucille?

Inspector Durant.

Take a seat. - Thanks.

Why don't you tell me where you have been?

Inspector! La Foret is dead! - Murdered? - Yes, there is a sickle in his body.

Call for more policemen! - Yes.

Did you listen, Lucille?

One more person was killed. The second.

Don't you want to help us?

You have to tell me! Any moment the murderer could do it again.

Denise! ...Help!

Denise! - Where?

At the swimingpool.

I am guilty. I killed her.

Denise, we will help you in a moment!

Inspector! - What happened?

Denise was punched into the water by a man. He was wearing a diving-suit.

He ran straight to the park. - Come on, follow him!

Why you are in such a hurry? - What do you want?

Take your hands off!

A girl was crying. I wanted to help her.

I tripped over a root of a tree and fell down.

And where is your respirator? And the rest of your diving-suit?

I didn't wear the top of the diving-suit.

Why do you ask me?

And why you are wearing these trousers? Just for fun?

It's for training. - Sure? It sounds very strange to me.

I want to loose weight. That's why I'm wearing these diving trousers.

My body is covered with a polythene sheet.

A fantastic way to loose weight.

I am running to fat. I have to pay attention to my fitness.

Don't talk, move on.

Walk to the brook . Search for the respirator and the top of the diving-suit.

Good morning. - Who are you?

My name is professor Andr�. What are you doing here?

Me? I was instructed to let nobody inside.

But I have to go inside. The animals have to be fed.

You better talk to inspector Durant, professor.

Okay, I will do so. But before this I must take a look at my collection, because you have to know...

No, impossible. Someone was murdered.

Murdered?

Believe me, inspector. I am innocent.

I walked near the brook by chance.

Suddenly somebody screamed.

Are you always wearing these clothes when you're training?

Yes, Inspector. It's my own system.

Maybe it seems a litlle bit rediculous. But I am van.

That's why I am doing it at night.

You have to know that my method... - You can tell me later.

You may go now. But don't leave this place. - Of course.

Nothing at all.

Our men are searching the whole area. Without result.

The other policemen have just arrived with dogs by their side.

Any news? - No.

We have to find the cousin of Lucille.

He is the manager of her fortune until she will attain full age.

But we don't know much about him. He has left Paris two month before.

Bless you. - Thanks.

How are you, Denise? - Thanks, Inspector. I feel better.

Will Denise be interrogated? - Not until her shock is over.

The Shock? What about me?

Are you also shocked? - Of course, I rescued her.

Very courageous.

The killer is screwing around. We have to find him.

We? - Yes!

Betty Ann disappeared. You still dind't find her.

Two murders. And you still don't know who is the killer.

We have been reinforced. It is just a question of time to find the killer.

The dogs have found a track.

Excuse me. Are you inspector Durant? - Yes.

My name is professor Andr�. Can I talk to you?

I will talk to you later.

Excuse me. - No time. I'm in a hurry.

They don't allow me to go inside to watch for my animals.

Please go into my office and wait for me.

Come here, inspector!

Hello, Lucille. My animals will die of hunger. They don't let me watch for them.

There she lay, dead.

Whom are you talking of? Who is dead?

Betty Ann. She lay in the bughouse.

Who told you this nonsense?

No! I saw her there. - And where is she now?

Her dead body disappeared. And the murderer wanted to kill Denise in the pool.

He mistook her with my identity. A killer is searching for me.

Nonsense.

Professor, please help me.

I can't stay here any longer. May I get into your house?

My house? - Yes. Nobody will find me there.

I would like to help you, but I don't know if it's right.

It is absurd, Lucille.

You are having delusions. What should happen to you? Walk to your room.

You could not be saver somewhere else, because of the policemen here.

I have to beg you pardon. Professor Andr�?

My name is Ms. Clay. - My pleasure.

Is it her? - Yes. It is Betty Ann. - Good.

Don't say that! - She was strangled. We will find fingerprints on her neck.

That's why we will find her killer.

I would like to talk to the girls again.

There are still shocked. Why cant you leave them alone?

Lucille is keeping a secret. I have to know it.

The dress we found in the shower is a proof for her absence.

It's still a fact that the killer was trying to kill Lucille.

And the attempted murder at the pool? - Yes. Why did Lucille cry? ''I have killed her.''

She was foolish. - No, Ms. Transfield. She had a date with me.

That's why somebody else had to go instead of her.

It would have been the second confusion. The killer must to be purblind.

He had a diving mask on his face. He was in a hurry, because of the police all around.

Okay, but why did he kill the gardener? - Because he didn't want to have any witnesses.

Witnesses? - He thought that someone saw him in the shower. - What about Betty Ann?

I still don't know it. Maybe she and Lucille knew anything about the killer.

Where is the inspector? - He is at Ms. Transfield.

Some minutes ago they found the dead body of Betty Ann. We are all under suspicion. Especially me.

Don't you think it is absurd that someone of us could be the killer?

The killer is a madman. - I agree.

But this madman could kill somebody else at any moment.

What does the Inspector want from us?

He needs our fingerprints. - Fingerprints?

He wants to compare them with the fingerprints on Betty Ann's neck.

Excuse me. Our fingerprint-specialist will not be here before nine o'clock. Would you come here at this time?

It is only a formality. - Is Ms. Transfield still at the Inspector?

Yes, they'll be here soon. The inspector wants to talk again to Lucille and Denise.

I will search for them.

Fingerprints! Are we criminals? We don't have to hide anything.

Have you seen Lucille? - No, Ms. Clay.

Maybe she is in the sickroom at Denise. Should I search for her?

Stay in this room.

Denise and Lucille, dress yourselves and come to the office. The Inspector wants to talk to you.

Isn't Lucille in this room? - No, Ms. Clay.

Until now she was not here.

Be quiet. It is late, you have to go home little bird.

Be a good bird.

I wasn't able to say 'No'. Lucille invoked me to help her.

She trusted in me.

Why didn't you tell me before? - I promised her to shut up my mouth.

I don't understand. You knew that the dead body of Betty Ann was found by Lucille.

You know that a killer is still screwing around.

In place of Lucille, you went to the date. You risked your life. But you still don't talk about it.

Did you find Barret? - No. Nobody knows where he could be.

When I have finished, I'd like to talk to Professor Andr�. - Yes, sir.

Since what time Mr. Barret is at the boarding school?

I don't know exactly. Since two month But I'm sure he is not guilty.

Since two month?

When will Lucille attain full age? - The day after tomorrow.

We have to find Barret and Lucille. Gabin, call the men. - Yes, sir

Do you know where Lucille could be? Answer to me!

She was really confused and...- And?

...and she left to search for Mr. Barret.

Can I help you, mademoiselle?

No. Have you seen Mr. Barret?

Yes, some minutes ago he went to the lime-pit. - Thank you.

Lucille!

Darling! Did you hurt yourself? You frightened the horse.

Now you are save. Don't be fearful anymore.

Where have you been last night?

I didn't come to meet you, because of the things that happened.

The police would have thought we would escape.

I hope you didn't wait for me. - No, Richard. I sent Denise.

Why are you talking so strange?

You don't believe me.

You think I have been there?

I understand.

No!

No... I thought....

Yes , you thought I would have attacked Denise.

No, Richard. It isn't true.

Please, you have to understand me.

I am in a terrible condition.

I am full of fear.

Richard, I invoke you to stay by my side. I could not stand it.

Without you I will be lonely. You are my only one.

Please!

You mean much to me, Lucille.

I love you. - You are even very important to me.

What a noise! What do you want from me?

Excuse me! Inspector Durant would like to see you at 9 o'clock in his room!

Tell the Inspector, I will be there!

Monsieur Gardin! Come here!

Watch this!

Pull out the corpse, but be careful!

I will tell the Inspector.

Do you know where Richard is?

No, inspector. I don't know! - I don't believe you.

Why does he hide, if he is not guilty?

Maybe he don't know that you are searching for him?

Do you meet him?

When? Where? - No!

Inspector, it would be better if you...

Durant speaking.

Are you sure?...Where?

Yes, I understand... Please take her to this house.

I will arrange for the other necessary things.

Lucille, go to your room.

Ms. Clay has been found.

Dead. At the lime-pit.

Lucile, do you know why they sent you away? Something terrible happened.

Richard!? - No! But Ms. Clay is dead. They found her.

Will we all be killed? I can't stand it anymore, Gille.

I leave. I have to go back to my sentry. - No! Stay!

I don't have time.

Is it her, Ms. Clay? - Yes.

She is disfigured beyond recognition, but Ms. Transfield has identified her articles.

I will search her room for other things. Maybe it could be important.

What are you doing here? - I was told to come here at 9 o'clock.

I remember. Please wait outside.

I hope she will not do silly things.

Yes, we need more men.

What about the comparison of the fingerprints?

Okay, but he should hurry. I need the result as soon as possible.

Yes.... I will inform you.

Inspector, watch this. What do you think about it?

I found it at Ms. Clay.

At Ms. Clay?

Hard to believe.

Are you sure? - It was on the top of some papers. Easy to find.

Unbelievable.

Oh, it is you, Richard... Richard!

He can't here you anymore.

But it is impossible. I go crazy. I see ghosts. You are...

No... You think I am Ms. Clay, but I killed her first.

Who are you? - I am your cousin Pierre.

Poor Richard.

He made a deadly fault: He discovered my secret.

He became a victim of the foolish Ms.Clay.

But she cannot be judged anymore Her dead body is in the lime-pit.

I brought the dead body of the real Ms. Clay into this place.

She admitted her guilt in a letter she left behind.

She was crazy. She had to kill.

She got shocked when she saw her last victim Lucille in a sea of blood.

She suddenly realized what she had done. So she comitted suicide.

A perfect plan, don't you think so?

But I haven't done anything to you!

Don't you understand my intention? It's very easy.

I will explain it to you.

And you will understand me.

The day after tomorrow you would be 18 years old.

At this day my guardianship will expire.

In the past I was a good manager for your inheritance.

But I got used to your money.

I must kill you, if I want to be a rich man in the future.

I want to keep the money for ever. Only one way to go.

You must die before you will be 18 years old.

He is still alive.

Inspector, please hurry! Come to the house of professor Andr�. Lucille is in danger!

I hope that they listened to me.

Pay attention, Gille!

That's what you left behind in the office of the principal.

Thank you.

The plan was nearly perfect.

This letter is the confession of a killer who comitted suicide.

He brought the dead body of the real Ms. Clay to this place,...

... so he could escape after killing.

This letter would have eliminated our doubts.

But why did he throw the dead body into the lime-pit before he could kill me?

Otherwise the fingerprints on the neck of Betty Ann would have given him away.

He had to hurry. He would have killed you too, if Richard had not been there.

He found Pierre's case at the lime-pit. And this crossed his plan.

As you can see, it was me, who solved this crime.

Next time I will call you.

Good bye. Good luck to you - Thank you very much.

Good bye. - Good bye, Denise.

Gille. - I will show you out.

Oh, sorry darling. I didn't want to hurt you.

Doesn't matter, honey.

Your cousin made a mistake: He wanted to kill me.

You know I am King Richard, the immortal one.

Darling, you are really crazy.

Don't talk like that. This is indignity of your majesty.

I would like to come with you. - Why?

lam in love with you. - Me?

But I am much too old. In addition I am a real bachelor.

Would you marry a policeman? - Why not?

My mother did so and she didn't regret it.

Your father is a policeman? - Well...

New order to 009.

No. 009 is busy. He is working on the case Gille. - Gille? - Yes.

Excuse me, gentlemen. Do you know where to get the case?

You have to ask the principal.

Should we take the case inside the house?

No, into the garage, please.

What a heavy weight: Maybe there's a dead body of two hundredweight inside.
