To close our show, we bring you a top creation

from the House of Doré,

our wedding dress, Babette...

Nice.

a misty dream out of organza and embroidery.

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you,

in the name of our house, for your interest.

A beautiful and thrilling model.

We would love to welcome you again

at our next show.

It's too bad that a divorce is so expensive.

Oh, George, you're really awful.

Really. There's attorneys.

Yeah, it just costs too much.

Lida, the mistress would like to speak with you immediately.

Now, come on. Hurry up, darling.

Yes, I'm going already.

Yes? Please come in.

You called for me?

You look wonderful, child.

Lida, I've got a favor to ask of you.

Yes?

- Mr. Radeck has asked me to... - Yes, but you know...

Yes, yes, I know you have separated from Mr. Radeck,

and I don't know your grounds,

and it doesn't concern me,

but I-I have spoken, a while ago, to Mr. Radeck.

He is suffering very much under this separation,

and he asked me to arrange a talk with you.

Madam, that's quite impossible.

Lida, you've been working for me for the last two years

and I hope you've always felt at home here.

You've had every wish fulfilled.

Yes, I know, Madam, but in this case, it really doesn't go.

You see, Lida, I'm in a difficult situation.

Mr. Radeck wasn't only a good customer of mine,

I'm also personally obliged

because my business hasn't always run so well as now.

He has often helped me out.

Child, you must meet him. I really don't see any other possibilities.

- Speak with him. - When?

He should be here at any moment,

and I would be very thankful if you would wait for him.

Good, Madam. But I'm only doing it for you.

Thank you.

Sometimes I don't understand this world.

Radeck is really a wonderful man.

And besides that...

I know he really loves you.

Be a little nice to him, my child.

Yeah, come on over. I got something for you.

Just a second. Good morning, Inspector.

Good morning.

Yes, naturally I'll come to dinner.

Yes, I love you.

No, won't touch a drop.

Yes, that's good.

Yes, certainly.

Is that true what's written here?

Your name is Napoleon Bolivar?

Yes, but I can't help it. My father wanted it that way.

I'm not happy about it either.

So, my friend, we know exactly what this woman looks like.

We must verify it, that's all.

She had quite a well-built figure, hadn't she?

No, quite slender.

Hair color was blond, right?

No idea. She was wearing a hood.

- Black eyes? - Green.

- Green? - Believe me.

But lots of tits, huh?

Ah, well, I've seen better. She wasn't that stacked.

You must remember exactly. Your evidence is very important.

It's just, I know, but- but, I can't...

I can't seem to remember anything anymore.

I really got a terrible, terrible headache.

When she hit me, I didn't know it was coming.

She really knocked me for a loop.

Yes, I wasn't even thinking anything bad,

and then suddenly I flew through the air,

and then I was already dreaming.

And anything else?

No. No, actually nothing.

That is, I mean yes.

She was wonderful...

I mean, you know, Inspector,

she would be something to marry if she could just cook.

Hello?

Ankara's on the line.

I don't want to. I'm not here.

Come on, it's Ankara.

Ankara!

My God, one just can't get up when one hasn't anything on.

Thank you.

Come on, give it here.

Hello, Mr. Radeck, please.

What did you say?

Yes, my dear, we are all secretaries at the right time...

and with the right boss.

Hmm...

That will be expensive.

Ah, he's really not there? My God.

Ah, he's hard to reach? Where could he be?

Ah, you have a message for me?

That sounds better. Now let me hear it.

Uh huh?

She wants to know the password, what should I do?

You've got to say it.

Listen... All right.

I'll give you the password. Lida.

We've tried everything already,

but he's so busy, he's always someplace.

Oh, listen here... Uh-huh.

Then I'll see to it that I'll meet him at his apartment,

but he should follow my instructions exactly.

All right. He must be in his bedroom at midnight,

alone, in the dark,

then it will continue.

Very good. And I thought you only had men in your head.

I'm completely exhausted.

Can I sleep on?

I was just so involved.

I dreamed I was with Paul,

and all alone, he took me in his strong arms,

and he kissed me. How wonderful.

Which Paul?

Paul Newman, of course.

So, if you work hard, I'll give him to you for Christmas.

I don't like it when you drag my true love through the mud.

I really love him.

Good day, Mister.

Why did you call the police, huh?

I had to do it. Someone had attacked me.

That picture was gone, and I thought...

Huh? What did you think?

I think I made a big mistake.

I told you too much and that was dangerous.

What did you tell the police?

Truthfully, truthfully, I...

I wouldn't say anything.

♪

Don't make a move.

As you can see, I'm punctual. I have something for you.

Who is it?

Is that it?

Yes, and it's horrible.

Who painted Lida like that?

You've never seen that picture before?

No, never.

Is it possible that Lida posed for that picture without you knowing about it?

Impossible.

It's impossible, I know that.

A few days before she disappeared, she...

began to paint on herself

an artificial sort of birthmark like that, but...

Well, it's absolutely clear now.

That picture was painted after her disappearance.

Well then, I'm on the right track.

I will continue,

but it will cost you $50,000.

I'll agree.

I've gotta have that girl back because I love her,

and please, find out who painted that picture.

All right. Give me $25,000 as first payment.

The other $25,000 you'll pay when I bring Lida, dead or alive.

Here are your $25,000. It's my personal check.

- Don't move. - Take it.

Don't turn on the light, and sing something nice

so that I know you're still here.

All right.

Good night. You'll hear from me.

Please! What should I sing?

I can't sing. I'm absolutely unmusical.

All right, then.

Well, certainly I was singing. What's the matter now?

Didn't you think it was all right?

So then, I didn't make a mistake?

No.

I'm very happy that art is still appreciated in our house,

even if it is so late. Good night, sir.

Good night.

Ouch!

Quiet. You're too fat for Paul.

There are all those photos.

In the last two years, there have been eight women

disappearing under the same circumstances.

What gives you the idea that they were all murdered?

There are other reasons why women disappear.

You ran away more than once yourself,

and not only from home. Isn't that so?

Don't talk so stupidly.

That fits to me.

- There again, you're right. - What do you want?

Men love dumb women, and that's the most important thing for me.

If that makes you happy, but it is really so.

All those cases are similar in some way.

Everywhere, the same traces of violence.

But most men are slightly brutal.

Do tell me.

There must be a guy with long and strong fingernails like claws.

- Do you like that too? - Oh!

The evidence and places of occurrence fit together.

Here, on one of the Caribbean islands,

on Topa Tara, a mulatto disappears,

traces of a battle in her bungalow.

On different pieces can be found scratches

that run parallel and are very deep.

You see, it's always the same.

A few months later, Camilla Pearson,

a model, disappears.

A similar case.

She was last seen with a man, about 40 years old,

southern type.

Camilla's last residence was a third-class hotel.

All the girls were either dancers, photo models, or mannequins.

No one knows whether the girls are dead or not.

They could have been kidnapped, but I don't believe it,

because if it dealt with white traffic

one could find out about it through the international organizations.

Only in the case with Lida is there any evidence,

and that's the photo.

What does your masculine intellect make of it?

Well, if you saw the picture,

you might think it was painted at the hour of her death.

That would mean we are dealing with an insane murderer.

What kind of case do you always choose?

I don't think for a second that I'll be the next victim.

Afraid?

Come on over here.

There!

But, my ladies, do you treat all your guests this way?

Only our favorite. What do you want?

Mr. Lamoins sent me.

I'm supposed to look at your house.

Ah ha.

He said you're only here for a short while,

and I am looking for something in this size,

and secondly, I like the situation I'm in.

I mean, of course, when I think it over,

I can stand it like this.

Hold me tight, my darling, and never let me go.

How did you get in here?

How else? Through the door.

You must understand I've got a peculiar habit.

- I always go through doors. - Peculiar bird.

Do you like him, or shall we throw him out?

Oh, mamma mia, don't do that to me. Just let me get up.

You have no idea who you are sending away.

Well, let's hear it.

You'll hardly believe it.

I'm Vittorio Freda.

Hmm.

It's very nice here. Yes, I like it very much.

I'll be staying here this winter.

Did you do this all by yourselves?

I did the foundation, she did the rest.

Now you've seen everything, so get lost.

No, I still haven't seen the bedroom.

Sorry to disappoint you.

You can't go in there right now. Paul Newman's there.

I'll wait.

Ah, is my throat dry again today? How 'bout a drink?

I only have a Coke in the fridge.

I'm not sure you deserve having it.

What a pity it would be.

May I ask you to disappear the same way you came in:

- through the door. - Yes, yes, yes.

I always go through the door. That's what I had said.

But, children, this is a day of the missed opportunities.

I must see you again! Ciao!

I'll never live this down.

I really don't care for that type.

I find him wonderful.

Oh, you find them all wonderful, but now we're going to work.

No, I don't want to. I don't feel like it.

I thought you wanted to earn some money.

You should think of Hollywood.

We need diamonds as big as nuts.

What should I do?

I'd say that you take Dress Number 3A, and then to the gallery.

Oh! It's really wonderful!

Fantastic!

Even at the entrance, these treasures!

Oh, and there! I'm overwhelmed, enthused!

Exciting! Such a beautiful child, and so much blood!

Are you the Master?

I'm a critic. Ask over there.

Oh, wonderful. Exorbitant.

I'll ask over there.

One doesn't know where one should first look.

Aw, doesn't she look like Snow White?

As if she were asleep.

Scatterbrained female.

Oh, only once to be tied like that.

- That could be had. - Are your the creator?

Sorry, no.

But the Master must be somewhere to be found.

- Are you him? - Oh, no.

That statue over there.

- Do you work here, my good man? - Yes.

Please see to it that I can meet the Master.

I might want to buy a few of his pieces...

for cash.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Tiller is not here.

That's unbelievable.

He must dedicate himself to his business.

Please, come with me.

Excuse me, but this lady would like to speak to you.

Good day, madam.

I've got you.

Now I can live, Master.

Oh, no, I'm just the director of the gallery.

- Please, have a seat. - Thank you.

I'm very happy that I've been able to meet you.

My name is Anastasia Dos Santos.

I am the Countess de la Contagia,

and the Marquesa Cumbre Sadinas.

Oh, my beloved Director, many pieces from your house

will beautify my lonely life in Brazil.

I would like to buy pictures, especially statues.

I love statues more than anything else.

Oh, madam, please.

I'm very unhappy that I must tell you...

My dear friend, I must get to know the Master.

I cannot live without the Master and his works anymore.

And you, you will really help me.

I will pay you any price for it,

and I will do anything for the one who fulfills my heart's desire.

My dear Director.

But that is impossible.

I understand. He is a sensitive man.

Some sort of genius.

What was his name? Something like Papagano?

- Paganini? - No!

His name is Klaus Tiller...

but he talks to no one.

I'm not so sure about that.

If he would only see me, then perhaps I could model for him.

I do have a wonderful figure.

Hmm, with some imagination one could imagine that.

Nevertheless, I have to disappoint you.

You can't get to meet him because he's not here.

You dare tell a Cumbre Sadina such a lie?

Please believe me.

Even I only get to talk to his lawyer.

Mr. Tiller himself, I've never seen.

But the worst of it is that I am not authorized to sell.

Not even one of his works of art.

Even for that you would have to contact his personal lawyer in Paris.

But I'll do everything in my power...

Oh, you are so generous, Mr...

Albert. Albert Carimbaldi.

Oh, my dear Albert,

I would like to return my gratitude,

but I just don't know how.

I am agreeable.

Please consider me at your disposal.

Then I can expect you this evening?

I have a heavenly bungalow.

The summer night will inspire us,

and Mantovani's violins will enchant us.

♪ La da-da da da, da da da ♪

Most gracious lady.

I'll use this afternoon to rest myself

so that I'll be fresh this evening.

So far I've played along, but now it's the end!

Now listen to me.

I've already told you, I don't want that grandpa

and I keep telling you no, no, no!

- Darling... - Leave me alone.

Look here. You want to earn money, then one must work a bit.

- Mm-mm. - That's the way it is.

You're almost at your goal.

You in Las Vegas, and Frankie-boy comes,

and then he greets you, personally.

And Dean Martin stands at the bar,

and Frankie sings, only for you,

"Strangers in the Night."

Then you've got them both. Dean and Frankie.

Dean and Frankie, yes, that would be heavenly.

What do I have now? My grandfather.

You must, you must, you must!

Swallow it, my darling. Okay?

I'll get the microphones ready. We haven't much time.

Oh...

Maybe this will bring us further.

And don't get too undressed so he doesn't get a heart attack.

And please stay around the microphone all the time.

And how?

They way you always do it. On the couch.

Hmm, that's him now. I think it's starting.

Okay. Good luck.

Oh, Director.

Oh, Countess, I am so happy to see you.

May I...

- Oh, such wonderful flowers. - A little present.

You're a cavalier of the old school.

- Your hat, please. - Thank you.

Dear Director, I've got to serve you myself.

I let the servant off for tonight so we wouldn't be disturbed.

- Careful. - I'll manage.

A drink, Albert?

Yes, please, but not too strong.

I invented a cocktail especially for you.

Certainly something mild.

We both want to have something from this evening.

Don't we, my dear?

Just a moment, dear Director.

♪

- Ouch. - Shh!

- Watch out. - Did you call me?

Oh, yes.

That is the wild cry of passion

that the women of my land call to the man they love

as they chase them through the pampas.

- That hurt me. - I didn't know you were near-sighted.

Now...

A little rum...

and a little olive oil...

Be careful. We still need him.

And on top of that, a little whiskey.

That'll make it good.

You're brutal.

Small fry.

Countess, you were gone so long.

I've missed you so.

Thank you.

Please.

Is it too strong for you?

Yes...

Ugh...

Oh, you are wonderful.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

My dear Director, you wanted to tell me about the painter.

About the painter we can talk later on.

No, tell me about the Master.

You know I need him like I need air to breathe.

Air, air, yes, it's getting too warm for me too.

My beloved, come back.

- Couldn't we just... - That's impossible.

I've very little on. Haven't you noticed that yet?

And if I get in a draft...

Come on over here.

Absolutely not. Not on the sofa.

I certainly couldn't talk to you about painters.

I'm a quiet and discreet lover, understand?

Oh. What, the flowers?

I find it romantic when the perfume of flowers surrounds me.

But let's talk about the Master.

I don't know anything more about him than you.

He paints and he is a sculptor.

But he does contact you about business matters, doesn't he?

No, no. We do everything through his lawyer.

Well then, I can never buy one of his works...

Yes, through one single person.

- Who is that? - Me.

Oh, and you'll help me?

My dear child,

I'll do everything for you, but it's not so easy.

What's the matter?

That cocktail was wonderful, but I think it is confusing me completely.

That's what happens when one drinks only one,

and so I'll quickly mix another

for my little pampas sweetie.

He's too far from the mic. I can't hear a word.

That isn't important now. I've just thought of something.

You know, those pictures in the gallery are similar

to the photos of the girls who disappeared.

Exactly like I told you about the figure I had seen.

Then try to buy whatever he'll sell.

I'm happy enough if I can get the figure we really need.

Then besides that, it's a question of the money.

I don't like to part with it that easily.

- To the next one. - Exert yourself.

Mm-hmm.

Here I am.

Yoohoo!

- There. - Thank you.

Personally, only his attorney knows him.

He lives in Paris.

And what is the name of his attorney?

Barker. Barker's his name.

A little louder, please.

The man is named Barker. Barker in Paris.

Whatever you want I'll sell to you.

Which piece?

Ask him the price.

Come on, ask more questions.

Come on! The price!

Come on, I can't wait any longer.

Hmm, and what must your little darling pay for the figure?

10,000, that's all.

Ooh, that's way too much.

How much you wanna pay?

Half of that.

Oh, good. Okay, it's sold.

Who... Who is that?

No, that's not his real name.

That's only his professional name.

I want to know his real name. I must know it.

And I thought you didn't want a fully-dressed countess.

His real name is...

Oh, I only want to see that justice is carried out.

I never really knew that the police were just wonderful people.

I'd always heard that the police had the same tendencies as criminals.

It is said in the modern criminal psychology.

But you're no criminal. That can be seen immediately.

Yes, but before breakfast, please.

- Ciao. - Ciao.

Yes, my friends, there's more to come.

Keeps on going exactly so.

You've been waiting for this number.

You haven't been here for a long time.

Yes, I've had a lot to do, you know.

Don't be so stubborn. Come on.

Oh, so you mean actually dance with you?

Yes, sweetie.

Huh?

Like it here?

Yes.

Olé! Oh, boy.

You dance like a gum teacher, and you call this relaxing?

Yeah, here you really learn how to relax.

- Yeah. - Don't you agree?

It's just warm.

Sometimes I find someone,

but now I've got you and I'll never let you go.

I wouldn't think of it.

I've waited much too long for you.

Oh, excuse me for a minute. I'll be right back.

All right, but don't stay too long.

Hello.

Are you, by chance, alone?

Why? Is that your way to invite a girl?

Why don't you sit down and join me for a drink?

♪

Do you always do it like that?

Only when it is with such an enchanting woman as yourself.

I noticed you when you walked in.

Yes, I had noticed you were watching me all the time.

I get compliments like that from a lot of people.

I'm quite sure of that.

Hmm, I must admit it,

from you I hear it especially well,

and I don't know why.

Because I mean what I say. You are a special type.

For example, the way you move when dancing.

I have worked for many years as a model.

One learns to do that.

Where do you come from? You have such a peculiar accent.

Well, I was born in a little town...

No, let me guess.

There's such a quiet tone.

Somewhere from the Balkans.

Very good. I'm a Croat.

You see, I'm not a bad guesser.

Yes, but I have lived for a long time in North Africa.

Uh?

What's the matter?

I've been waiting for you and you're here flirting with a man.

Excuse me, please.

I met an old friend of mine and won't take very long.

I'll join you right away. Okay?

Ah, I understand.

Just can't believe it.

Now you must tell me a little bit about yourself.

What are you interested in? Where do you come from?

I come from America and I'm interested in art.

And I am a painter, too.

The coincidences are peculiar, don't you agree with that?

If you're really interested in paintings,

I would gladly show you some of my works.

- Would you like that? - Yes, why not?

This meeting here tonight for us is really a stroke of fate.

You must pose for me.

Can you tonight?

Mm-hmm.

It's wonderful!

Such a beautiful garden.

Yes, but it isn't finished yet.

You see, I've only been here a short while.

Please, won't you come in?

Would you care for a drink?

Thank you.

Take your time.

Look around a little.

You see...

here is where I work.

I have finally found a place where I can bring my ideas into reality.

Yes.

And here I will create my masterpiece with you.

May I?

You may.

You had asked me for my name.

You shall know it.

My name is Klaus Tiller.

I painted Lida Regnier and many other girls.

And now a new work will be completed.

Come on!

Let's go!

You could have used something other than that fog bomb.

Next time I'll take laughing gas.

And I'll take you alive for me.

because that unshaven idiot grabbed me around the throat

Girls, this was such a hot night.

And I thought I was so far that nothing could excite me anymore.

- Inspector Tanner. - This is Tanner.

Uh-huh, I'm speaking. This is Red Lips.

- Is it really you? - Yes.

Then listen to me very well.

I sent to you by mail

the solution to a very important case.

Naturally, there's no point to it if you don't even read the mail.

Yes, naturally.

Well, take a look now.

Can't you even read?

- It's not here. - Yes, yes.

It must be there. I mailed it.

- I think you smoke too much. - Huh? Nonsense.

That's not healthy. Have you finally got it?

Yes, yes, I believe this is it.

So then, read it, my dear.

Bye bye.

Hello? Hello?

What nonsense. Hmm.

My dear Inspector Tanner,

I'm giving you a chance to arrest a murderer.

His name is Klaus Tiller

and he lives at Santrinos de la Hara.

Man, do something now.

Hello there!

- Hello. - Huh?

Looking for somebody?

Yes. Who actually lives in this house?

We live here.

Oh, no. I'm looking for someone by the name of Tiller.

Tiller? Don't know him.

Okay, then our dear Inspector has strained himself for nothing.

I don't care if he has.

I just want to get away from here.

But Tiller has disappeared without a clue,

and we're to suffer here.

Understand me finally.

I don't want to wake up at night

and find a crazy person coming here in the room

and grabbing me around the neck.

I want to get away from here.

No one will get you around your beautiful neck as long as I'm here.

Hello, ladies!

Oh!

What is it?

Flowers for you.

Ah, yes, naturally. Thank you. Thank you.

- For your balcony. - Now even the youngsters are trying tot seduce me.

What a dish.

Hmm. From an unknown admirer.

Isn't that wonderful? It must be from Maloo.

There's something ticking inside of it.

- What are you doing?! - Outside with them!

They're mine! They're mine! Come back! Come back!

Get down!

Oh, such a dirty deal!

And I was just at the hairdresser.

Ugh. We had luck.

I don't understand what you have against a trip.

I don't know either.

Maybe for a change we should go to the sea.

We'll look for a wonderful island under the blue sky,

and in the area of Ankara,

in case we need money from Radeck.

We will lie on the sand and the sun will turn my body into gold.

I've wished for this for a long time.

Vacation is something wonderful.

Ah, when the sun burns on one's stomach...

and one has nothing to do but to lay around.

We're all alone and no one to bother us.

♪ La da da-da da-da

- What do you think of this? - What are you doing here?

Oh, I was just going to ask you the same.

We're relaxing. We need our peace.

Say, are you still angry at me over the sculpture?

What do you mean?

How could anyone be angry at you?

That satisfies me.

The living is short. One should use every second.

Hey, cut that out.

All right, then. We'll continue this evening.

You're living at the Macario? I will call you.

I've a feeling we can still use this thing.

Hello? Yes?

It's that playboy for you.

Oh!

Let him invite you and then bring him back here with you.

We'll check him out and see what he's up to.

I can't think of anything better to do

than to check him out. Hello? Vittorio?

Yes.

Good day.

I had reserved a room under the name of James Bond.

How come the name James Bond?

Then one doesn't notice we're from the police.

James Bond?

Apartment 45, boy.

Uh, Number Three, please.

Right away, sir. But what do you mean by Number Three?

Why, every child knows that there are four kinds of Martini cocktails.

Number One: four part gin and one part Martini.

Number Two: five parts gin,

and with the cork from the Martini bottle

lightly over the edge of the glass.

Number Three:

pure gin and Martini bottle placed on the table,

and when drinking, just staring at it.

And Number Four:

Pure gin and always think about the Martini.

So if I understand you correctly,

I should bring you a four-part gin.

Exactly, that's it.

- And some fresh blood for the... - Yes, sometimes.

Without fantasy, one's life isn't worth anything,

and one doesn't only need it when drinking.

Let the blue flower of your fantasy bloom.

Be careful. Once I begin I can't stop it.

Did something drop?

No, I find the carpet so beautiful.

A wonderful old piece.

I'll take care of it.

You forgot to order for the lady so I brought two of them.

To a blond girl who can't be matched.

Mm!

Aren't you well? I hope it isn't serious.

Oh no, my grandmother always did this when the drink was too strong.

Down under the table... and stay like this for a while.

I guess, if it helps. But don't you find it a little uncomfortable down here?

Oh, no, I don't mind that. At least I'm alone with you, Vittorio.

From me he doesn't get a single passita.

You are a strange girl.

Who? Me?

Ah, when I think it over, what I've experienced with you,

it all began on the floor.

There, I couldn't love you because I was held fast,

and the a statue separated us,

and now we're spending the night under the table.

I don't now how I've earned that.

Really...

Now make up your mind at last.

This up and down is getting too boring for me in the long run.

Come on. We'll go to my place.

With pleasure. But right away, then.

Come on, darling.

Good evening.

I'm very grateful to you. Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Don't be frightened. You can go back to sleep.

but please, give my very best regards to your friend,

Oh, excuse me. I forgot to introduce myself.

Inspector Maloo.

Ah, the famous Maloo. What are you doing on this island?

I'm making sure that they... Oh, pardon.

I mean that no pretty girls get murdered here.

Nice of you.

You and your girlfriend are completely different,

but you do have something in common...

Let us say, then, that you joined up

to create a figure, like Zorro or the Phantom.

It would be very difficult to identify them.

We have something in common.

Oh, you have that.

I admit that's something very important.

Take your size, your coloring,

the shape of your lips. Very red lips.

Oh, I find that very interesting.

No, no, no. No, I haven't got any time.

We'll come back to it later,

Bye-bye.

Of course not. Don't be afraid.

When she sleeps, she sleeps.

Are you sure?

But darling, I want to be alone with you,

and if she should wake up she's as nice as I am.

You'll see.

Come on, kiss me. We've wasted too much time already.

What's the matter? Has your courage deserted you?

I'm sure she didn't hear anything.

You don't even have to be very quiet either.

You're just saying that.

No!
