By night in my bed,

I sought him, my

soul lover, I sought him.

We'll be right

back.

The call is 0-30 minutes. Avouez le taux, 93-50.

How's, uh... Jane.

Her name's Jane.

Oh, yeah? How is she?

Terrific.

C.I.V.

Did you get the entries and exits blocked?

No, we got here too late. By the time we got here, everybody was walking in and

out, and it was just no use.

Good evening, sir.

Did you see him fall? I mean, I saw him.

I didn't see him coming.

Where were you when... When I passed by, I saw...

They've marked off the body and now they're taking pictures, then we can get

the body covered up immediately if you want.

I've got the doorman here. Do you want to talk to him?

Yeah, go ahead, take a look.

You recognize her?

How long have you been on duty?

Six o'clock this evening.

Did she come in the building?

Wearing that kind of thing should be kind of hard to miss.

I remember facing. She didn't come in.

She sure as hell went out.

Cover it.

Yes, sir.

Let's go get the consul.

Cut the racket.

You ain't going nowhere.

Yeah, but I am. Every day.

Okay.

Okay, watch out for the bomb.

Watch it.

Hey, Anderson, fancy meeting you here.

What? God, I hate this night work. You finished with this? No, not yet. I've

got to hold it, hold it.

I want my partner to take another look.

Oh, you're working with Paquette, the eager beaver.

Yeah, you know him?

Know him? Jesus, I'm surprised he didn't get to her before she hit the ground.

How are you doing, Paquet? You solved it yet? Good to see you.

Come on. Get all these photographers out of here.

I don't want to see anybody around here.

I don't want anybody near the body.

Have you that fit? Why?

She wouldn't be walking around or anything like that, would she?

I thought so. I know that face. I've seen her before.

I've got the superintendent. I know who she is. She's a hooker. She used to work

off the night bartender in the Taverna party about a year and a half ago.

What's her name?

I don't know her name, but Jean-Louis will know.

Jean-Louis? My old partner.

Oh, Jean-Louis Lebrecq?

Yeah. He knew everything.

Thanks.

Are you the superintendent here?

Yeah.

Who lives up there?

Nobody.

There's an apartment up there, isn't there?

Penthouse. Okay, well, who owns the penthouse?

It's a company that owns the lease.

Well, who lives there then?

Nobody lives in it.

Nobody lives there.

Some people have keys. They come in once in a while, that's all.

Ever see her before?

She's in the tenant, I can tell you that.

People were coming out all the time to see. Did you see anyone who wasn't a

tenant?

Ask Frank, maybe he can help you.

Well, I'm asking you.

I'm telling you, I don't know.

Come on. Is there a garage around here or something?

Yeah. Okay, where is it?

Around the corner.

Let's go.

Need a key.

You got a key?

Yeah. Wonderful.

Come on, come on, Robert.

I'm already half an hour late.

There we go, there we go. Just take it easy, baby.

How about burning on some lights? It's a little dark in here.

Don't touch anything else.

You got no right to be here.

Excuse me.

I say you got no right to be here.

Are you a superintendent or a lawyer?

I'm the superintendent of this building.

All right. Well, you'll be a good superintendent.

Stay right there and shut up.

There a service that cleans this place?

I don't know.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.

You don't know anything.

I found a life.

Good thinking. Great future ahead of your boy.

Thank you.

Nothing.

I mean nothing.

Yeah, but I mean, look what she was wearing. I mean, somebody must have let

her in and come up with her.

When I went out, they took everything with them.

I think I got it. What?

Big executive comes in from out of town, out for some hooker action. She comes up

here. He whips it out. She takes one look.

It's never been... with anybody else.

You may think I'm lying, but that's the truth.

I'm glad.

I want you to feel good.

Where are you going?

Oh, I've got to go home.

You've tired me all out, you know.

You have to book well in advance.

Oh, that's it?

Are you kidding?

Well, I don't get a chance to be with someone like you every day.

Well, then, you be sure to call me next time you're in town.

I just hate to see you go.

to go home and rest up.

Why, you really are something.

Are you this virile all the time?

Only with you.

Please be sure and call me next time.

Okay, what happened?

On Cote St. Catherine, there's a 20-story apartment house.

She went off the top of it.

Oh, God.

What's that?

A girl.

She stays with me.

Go back to bed, Nora. No, no, no, no. I want her out here, please.

Come on out, man. Come on out of there.

Come on.

That's it.

That's it.

You heard what my partner just said, huh?

Elizabeth. Elizabeth what?

Elizabeth Lucy.

Is that her real name?

I doubt it.

Jesus.

That's Elizabeth, huh?

That's her.

Okay.

She lives here, uh... Some of the time.

Some of the time.

How about the rest of the time?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Was she here last night?

For a while.

Then she went out. That's all I know.

Where'd she go to?

I don't know. Here, madame. She gets her tricks through you, now where'd she go?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Elizabeth and Laura are entertainers. I'm their manager.

Bullshit.

What's your name?

Laura Tremblay.

God damn it, Jim, let me talk to her. Take it easy, take it easy.

I don't like her attitude.

Okay, I'd like to see Elizabeth's room, please.

Cora.

Come on.

You show it to me, huh?

Uh-uh.

You stay here, we'll have a little talk.

Let's get something straight right now. I was on the morality squad for three

years and I like putting wise asses like you in jail. I still like it. So don't

get me any more pissed off at you than I am right now. You understand me?

I understand you all right.

But I can't tell you what I don't know.

She worked for me some of the time.

The rest of the time was her own.

Find somebody else and ask them.

I'll tell you this. If I don't hear what I want to hear from you, I'm going to

bust you just as heavy as I can.

You can't do shit to me.

Was she on smack?

Yeah.

You recognize that guy?

Who? Him.

Go and sit there, please.

Do you have any boyfriends now?

She's dead.

Not now, I mean before, recently.

No. No steady boyfriend.

You sure?

You should have found some letters, something personal.

Must have been a lonely girl.

There was that girl, Sandra.

Sandra, was she?

She used to be here.

Elizabeth really liked her.

Yeah.

Where's she now?

She just disappeared about a week ago.

Nobody knows where she went.

Jeez.

Meg was really mad as hell.

You know, she let us stay here and broken her into the business and all.

I can imagine.

Oh, boy, I guess she's pretty tough, eh, Meg?

She's just not so bad.

She and Elizabeth, they get on well together?

She was Meg's favorite.

Meg really liked her.

I did, too.

She was a Catholic, wasn't she?

Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I'm Catholic.

Well, technically, anyway.

Not a very good one.

Me, too.

She was wearing a crucifix, you know.

Elizabeth? I never saw her wear one.

What about this?

She had a couple of rings.

That's all I ever saw her wear.

But she was a Catholic.

You think she'd kill herself?

I don't think she would, but... Look, she was on drugs.

If she didn't kill herself, someone pushed her off that balcony, someone

killed her.

You can't take that.

Do you know who that might be?

He took my phone book.

I tell you what I'm gonna do with it, Meg.

I'm gonna run down every last john in here and blow your whistle once and for

all. Look, you know he doesn't have any right to do that.

Well, you shouldn't have got a manager, Mrs. Latimer.

I've got a lawyer.

I'll bet.

Okay, okay, get dressed.

Where are we going?

Just get your clothes on.

You don't have any reason to book me.

Maybe my partner will think of something on the way downtown.

Amen. Amen.

Let us pray to the Lord.

Elizabeth, what are you doing here?

Will you let me see Sandra for a few minutes? It's not a good idea. It's too

soon.

Just a few minutes.

Elizabeth.

Hello. Hello, darling. How are you?

I'm fine.

You can take Elizabeth to your room if you want, but just for a few minutes.

And come and see me before you go. I'll be in my office. All right.

I'm really excited.

Well, this is it.

They're all driving me crazy.

Who's driving you crazy?

The sisters.

There's always one of them around, even when I go to the john.

Well, it can't be that bad.

Oh, no?

Good morning, Sister Therese. Good morning, Sandra.

Well, I guess they have to do that, honey.

Why?

They're afraid I'm shooting up?

I'm off.

I'm off for two days.

So why can't they trust me?

Darling, you were doing ten grains a day.

You were all out of control. You would have died.

What about you?

You're still shooting, aren't you?

Well, it's a whole different thing. I mean, I'm not doing half what you were.

And if I were, I'd be here.

Elizabeth, you are still shooting, aren't you?

Why can't I just cut down to your dose?

Because it doesn't work that way.

That wraps it. You're so cold.

What's happening, Elizabeth?

You need some junk?

You could stand it here for a day, Elizabeth.

You'd freak right out.

I guess I...

I just noticed, but she's got needle marks on her. Yeah?

You must have looked her over real good.

Well, listen, my wife don't look half as good, and she ain't even dead yet.

You stay.

Is there anything else you want to tell me?

Okay, she can go.

I thought you were going to book me.

Maybe next time.

Good morning, Mr. Smith. Good morning, Mr. Werther. You look tired.

I am tired.

Do you have a long drive?

Would you like to come have a drink with me before you go upstairs?

No, thanks.

What difference does it make to you?

I can treat you right.

Anyway, a guy in my position can make things tough for you, you know.

Let's just say you're a little drunk at 8.30 on a Saturday morning and leave it

at that.

Excuse me.

It's almost nine o'clock.

I fell asleep.

I don't pay you to sleep.

This one did.

You slept till now?

I drove around for a while. I wanted to get some air.

You must have gotten a hell of a lot at 9 o'clock.

Well, I needed a lot, Meg.

Listen, I always want you to come straight back.

It's smarter.

A guy loses his wallet and yells cop.

I don't want you wandering around where they can pick you up.

All right, Meg, I'm sorry.

I'm saying it for your own good.

Look, I'm tired and I'm a little strung out.

Yeah, you're late for that too.

No, I'll just fix up and go to sleep.

Not here.

Go to the other apartment.

Why?

Just do what I tell you.

I really need to.

Take it with you and do it over at your place.

Why do I have to leave?

Because you messed up my schedule by being so late.

I have somebody coming over and I don't want you around.

I'll be in my room.

I don't want to argue with you.

All right.

I'll just get my stuff.

Well, get it.

Hello.

It's another few minutes.

No.

So?

Maybe.

Who was that, Meg?

Hurry up and get out.

You didn't answer the question.

Wendy want me back

I thought you were tired.

Damn right I'm tired.

Come back to bed.

Well, I'm not that tired.

Come back to bed, Amy.

Well, I got, uh... Something on my mind, right?

A lot of things I have to do.

Why did I bloody go on my shit?

Why today?

Why not?

It's Sunday, for God's sake. So?

So when am I going to see you?

All of you?

Look, I'm just going away for a couple of hours, huh?

And I'll come back after.

Okay?

I don't know.

I'm going out tonight.

Oh?

You want me to come back or not?

I said I'm going out tonight.

Well, good.

I'll see you later.

Don't like playing second fiddle to some hooker.

Especially a dead one.

So close to me.

And I am warmed by your morning grace.

Mr. Liefrem, the police have left.

No, I don't think so.

Okay.

All right, put that down.

On the table.

Step back.

You tell me who you were calling.

Who's Mr. Lee from?

It's none of your business.

Elizabeth. You don't have to knock when you come in, Jimmy.

I didn't want to disturb you.

Would you like some breakfast?

No.

You say yes or no?

No. I'm not hungry.

You haven't eaten anything, have you?

I know you haven't because there wasn't anything in the house.

Listen, I got some eggs and bacon. Why don't you let me fix you a nice... I'm

not hungry.

How about a nice cup of tea?

I've told you three times already. I'm not hungry.

Very sorry, Elizabeth.

What?

Nothing.

Are you flying?

I wish I were.

Didn't you get off?

Just a little tickle.

I'll just take another hit. That'll solve everything.

Don't worry, Jimmy. I know what to do and what not to do.

Oh, I'm sure you do. So did Sandra.

Jesus Christ.

Why don't you stop nagging me? You remind me of my father.

Well, that's a compliment, isn't it?

Very hostile.

I just don't like to be nagged, that's all.

And I don't have to put up with it.

Look, if I'm in the way around here, I can move out, go someplace else.

Don't be so sensitive, Jimmy.

Pour me some tea.

Hello.

Those people who came to see me this morning, they're interested in you.

Customers.

Sort of.

Well, they're special people.

Mr. Leafram is coming over to see you.

Over here?

Yeah. Stay home, he'll be there.

Wait a minute.

Why did you give them this address?

I just told you, baby.

They're special people. Very important.

Lots of bread.

I don't care. I don't want anybody to know about this place, Meg.

Now listen to me.

There's a lot of money in this.

For both of us.

These people are very, very heavy.

They're interested in you.

You should be flattered.

I'm not flattered.

I want you to do this for me, baby.

It's a favor.

What kind of favor? It's just another trick, isn't it?

I just told you, Elizabeth.

It's special.

I'll talk to you later.

What's wrong?

I think I'll go for a ride.

It all turned out the way I planned it If I planned

it, but I didn't plan it You are the way

a being could be If he would be, but I

never dreamed it I didn't

I dreamed you rode up to me Through the

forest rain you rode up Through the village green

you rode up Leaning from your stallion

Offering your hand to greet me

If I claim it, but I...

Pull over, Jimmy.

Get out, quick.

I'll meet you back at the apartment.

All right.

When was it you said? That was late last night, about 11 o'clock. How do you

know? Well, I just happened to be looking outside the window when I saw

them driving off.

Who's them?

Latimer and that girl, Elizabeth.

Yeah, well, I'm going to ask you again. Did you notice what that girl,

Elizabeth, was wearing?

A dress.

Nothing fancy, like a white gown or an evening dress. No, no, no, just a dress.

So at one o'clock, Latimer comes back with this guy.

Oh, you just happened to be looking at the window at that time, too, right?

Well, I'm supposed to keep a track of what's going on in the building. All

right, well, this guy that came back with Letterman, what happened to him?

He stayed up there for about 15 minutes, and then he come down again.

And then the other girl, Laura, she came back at 2 o'clock.

And then a little while later, you two guys turned up.

You saw us, too?

Oh, yeah.

What did he look like?

Uh...

Dark hair, heavy set.

Go on.

You see, I didn't get a look at his face, you see.

Did you notice what he was wearing?

A jacket.

Okay, thanks.

You've been a great help.

Can I go now?

Sure, sure.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Okay, Santo.

What do you got?

This is Mr. Dunmer's bag, showing this address here.

A couple of rings.

Ident cards.

And 300 bucks in cash.

What have you got? Mark that way. Legs dope.

Oh, you found it in the sugar.

Elizabeth's handbag. This was buried in the kitchen garbage.

And the black dress.

What have we got on Lee from?

Lee's from...

So far, name Herbert Leafram, alias Sandor Banzini, 29 years old, muscle

-bound, did three years at Kingston for Push & Doe.

Disappeared for two years, con artist. Okay, get his pictures out.

Did you see him?

No, I didn't see him. I went out and he followed me.

What's going on, Meg?

I told you to stay home.

You don't tell me anything.

Not you or anyone else.

You're a hard girl to get a hold of.

This is your special customer?

The man I work for would like to meet you.

Not interested.

That's too bad everything's been arranged not so far as I'm concerned

Okay, let me talk to her

Now I Never crossed you

and I've always treated you like royalty.

I'm asking you simply to trust me And not to ask so many questions. Not to ask

so many questions. Okay, listen.

It was supposed to be Sandra.

It was all set.

Then she disappeared.

So?

Would I let anything bad happen to that little girl?

I don't know, Meg.

Sandra and you were very close.

Do you know where she is?

No. Okay.

You're asking me to believe you and I'm asking you to believe me.

Will you?

All right.

But I don't guarantee anything.

You and I have an agreement about my apartment, yes?

Now all bets are off.

Let's go.

Let's go.

It's a

pyx.

A pyx.

What the hell's a pyx?

Yeah,

my grandmother nearly died four times, and each time the priest brought the

host in a lunule, in a pyx.

It's a pyx, huh? Yeah.

If you don't, I can make a hell of a lot of trouble for you and everybody else.

You understand?

Compris. Compris. D'accord.

Sit down.

You are Elizabeth Who are you?

My name is kissin.

How'd you do?

Why don't you sit here

Would you like some refreshments, a glass of wine, anything?

Well, let's have a little talk then.

All right, there are a few things I'd like to say. First of all, I don't like

being investigated.

Secondly, I don't like being followed.

He was just carrying out my instructions.

Why?

Because I'm interested in you.

And it's only natural to want to know a bit about people one is going to be

involved with, don't you think?

Take your clothes off, please.

I don't do this for nothing.

We all have to pay for the important moments in life Elizabeth.

What do you want me to do?

Tell me about yourself.

Like what?

Where were you born?

Bedford, 40 miles south of Montreal.

And you grew up there?

Yes.

What about your parents?

Oh.

Look.

Why do we have to talk about these things?

I want to know all about you.

Why?

It's part of what I'm paying for.

My mother died when I was three.

I was brought up by my father in a housekeeper.

Mostly by a housekeeper.

Where did you go to school?

There's a convent near Bedford. My father sent me there.

So your upbringing was quite religious then.

Do you believe in God I Wouldn't say I was

practicing Catholic if that's what you mean

Yes,

I believe in God

You may put your clothes on now

Mr. Leafram will take you home.

We will call you very soon.

Santa? That's Elizabeth's father.

He's an ex-army colonel.

That's his house in Bedford.

Still lives there.

That's where Elizabeth grew up.

Got nothing from him.

As far as he's concerned, she died seven years ago.

That's her first boyfriend.

Came from a good family, had a good future.

Became a dope addict and dropped out.

Claremont? I just had some mug shots of Lee from Rana.

Every radio car should have them within an hour.

We're trying to break the code in Latimer's phone book.

That number the super was calling turns out to be a goddamn phone booth at St.

Mark in Sherbrooke.

He loves it here.

a police officer with intent to kill.

Are you ready to be a little helpful?

Elizabeth was there last night. Meg Latimer was there last night. Now, where

were you?

Latimer was found this morning with her throat slit along with another one of

her girls.

Maybe you're next, so wise up.

Come on, we know everything.

The name of the company that owns that penthouse is called Olst Incorporated.

The president is Kirsten and Liefern works for him. Now, you were with

Kirsten last night, weren't you?

You were with Kirsten last night.

Where's Kirsten now?

Where is he?

Where's Kirsten?

Hey, have you noticed that before?

Ever see it upside down?

What about this?

Not ready to talk, no?

Wait,

Anderson.

What? What do you say, what?

Dr. Hildebrand, I'm glad I got you.

Nothing, I'm all right. Look, I'm going to Spain tonight, and there are some

things I want to get you.

An insurance policy and some money.

I want you to hold on to them for me, for Sandra.

Well, I just... I want you to hold on to them, that's all.

I can't explain it. It's nothing. It's just a feeling I have.

All right, now.

I can't get out to meet you. Is there anybody who could meet me?

No, not here.

Please don't ask me any questions, Dr. Hildebrandt. Just help me.

All right.

All right.

Can you call him right away?

I'll be there within a half hour.

Thank you.

I have to go somewhere.

Men that go about the city To

whom I said sorry

You're Elizabeth I want you to take this And give it to her

Give it to me when you leave I'm being watched

I'll leave it here you take it when I leave Why don't you talk

to me as long as you're here?

Sister said you might do I don't have anything to say How long

is it since you have been

I just... I didn't ask you to.

But tell me how long has it been?

I'm taking you back to your place to rest up for tonight.

You care about Sandra and Jimmy, right?

I suggest you be at Latimer's at 10 o'clock tonight.

Stop making me work so hard.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. I suppose that's not a normal reaction

I don't know what that means.

You see, I loved her very much.

Yeah.

I'm a homosexual.

I never really had any sort of a friendship with a woman in my life.

We met almost a year ago.

Things were pretty bad for me.

I'd already had one breakdown. I was on my way to another.

This guy I was with.

I was very involved with him, but he wasn't a very nice person.

One night we were in a restaurant.

It was worse than usual.

Anyway, I finally ran out into the parking lot. I was sitting there on the

ground between two cars.

I suppose I was going to kill myself.

I looked up.

She was there.

She'd seen the whole thing.

And she came out.

She talked to me.

She understood what was happening to me. I didn't have to tell her anything.

She just understood it all.

She took me back to her apartment.

She made coffee and we talked.

I just stayed there.

I knew there was something terrible going on yesterday, but she wouldn't

tell me about it. Something terrible? What was that?

She couldn't talk about it, except... Except what?

A new customer, very rich, very important, with a big ship, the Mount

Royal. What was his name, did she tell you?

Pearsall, or Pearson, something like that.

Pearson? Yeah, Pearson, that was it.

What else?

We took a drive yesterday.

About noon.

There was a car following us. What color?

A black Cadillac limousine.

But she really didn't seem surprised.

Annoyed, maybe.

But it was like she knew they were watching her. Who was watching her,

Kirsten?

I don't know.

Well, could you identify the guy that was following her? Yeah, I think I

could.

What time is it?

20 after 9

I told you I have to go to Mexico.

Right now?

I better.

At least finish your coffee.

It's all right.

You stay and finish your eclair.

Mr. Gilles will take it as a personal insult if you don't eat it.

You can have the car.

Let me drive you there.

I'd rather walk, honestly.

If I drive you, you have time to stay. Finish that coffee.

Jimmy.

Let me go.

You stay.

I'll see you later back at the apartment.

All right.

When will you be back?

I don't know.

Late.

I fixed up an hour ago, but I... I didn't get straight.

I told you not to do that tonight.

I'm going to get through this any way I can.

In fact... I was thinking of asking you if I could have another.

He doesn't want you to.

I'll make you a drink instead.

You know I don't drink.

Sorry.

When do the festivities commence?

Don't call us.

Where do the festivities commence?

You ask too many questions.

And four have found...

Yeah.

Finally broke the code in Meck's book and staked out Lee for him.

He's already wounded Santo and Clement.

They found them at the docks on a large freighter that Kearson owns.

Who's up there, Liefram?

That's the man that phoned.

He's alone on the boat and he's crazy.

He's got one of our men as hostage.

Yeah.

Lee Froome!

You might as well give up. You're going to bleed to death anyway.

You'll get your doctor.

Now put him down.

You'll get your doctor.

I don't feel very well.

I'll bring you somewhere where you can lie down and pinch me.

What's wrong with me?

I feel so weird.

You're getting high, that's all.

This is all different.

Come on. Come on.

I gave you something.

What?

Just, you know, to help you get in the mood.

Take your clothes off.

Put this on.

Let her lie down for a few minutes first.

What is it, Meg?

It's making me so sick.

They want you to put this on.

The doctor's on his way up.
