Sorry I'm late time.

Get away, go on!
Clear off!

Forget about him.

What the hell is going on?
Get out there. Go on! Fuck off!

No!

DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS

Imposing sentence upon you...

- Daddy, we're on?
- Oh. How do I look?

Well, too much rouge.
Not enough eyebrows.

I'll do it.

I should look
like a gay old queen.

Let's get this
down on the road, folks.

Take that perfectly awful?
thing off.

Well, how are we doing?
Are you ready?

What do you think?

Hmm! Looks like a
gay old queen to me.

That's a great help.

You shouldn't worry about it though
it's turning into an orgy out there.

You're sure is located?

Watch out for the guy who's
come as a shrunken head.

Real gruesome. Looking
putting people off their food.

Do you mind this is an
integral part of my act.

Right. I'm going
to introduce you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
if I could just

have your attention
for a few moments.

The time has
come to introduce

our special guest
for the evening.

- Flown in all the way from...
- Greenland on his flying reindeer...

Santa Claus!

I'm come not empty-handed.

Sure not.

And with gifts for you all.

The only trouble is
I can't read the labels.

Oh, Daddy!

God!

Thanks very much Sid, cheerio.

Come on, lads, the boss
is on his way up.

You know it makes him?nervous to
see his picture in the papers.

Come on, get these
things out of the way.

- Good morning, pal.
- Good morning.

Good morning you two.

What?are you doing here?
Oh. I see, give me that.

Only three more
killing days to Christmas.

The chief's gonna love cracks
like that. Clear off you two.

I'm afraid the assistant commissioner's
breathing down our necks.

Oh! I want to see
the girl and that boy.

Uh, the boy, uh, answered the phone
and I rang her up this morning said.

I said we'd be over.

I thought it'd be better
that way, because

she's in no state
to come to the Yard.

I suppose you're right. Have
you checked the boy out?

Yes, sir, Cliff Boyd.
Cheeky young bugger.

No record. Good family.
Dropout. Nothing violent.

- And the girl's father?
- Oh, rich! rich!

Everybody loved him.

And of course,
the girl gets the money.

Well, that'll be a nice catch
if the boy can land it.

Pretty girl, no?

Let's go.

Oh, the boy is here too?

Yeah! See, he lives with her.

All right.

Good morning.

How do you do inspector?

Won't you come in?

I'm most grateful to
you, Miss. Briosky.

Especially after the...
uh... well...

My father had no enemies.

We know that, Miss Briosky.
We know that.

Well inspector,
you've got your first clue.

The one I gave you last
night, this drunken head.

I'm afraid we don't have
very many clues, Miss.

There were no fingerprints on it.

It was the costume
that he was wearing.

He was the victim of
another Santa murderer.

We'll be given early next
year, tonight in London

the festive atmosphere has
a distinct chill about it.

As yet another Santa Claus is slain.
And now for the weather.

Ah!

Thank you.
Happy Christmas!

Oh, inspector Harris,
look what's just arrived,

by special delivery,
Christmas present.

And it says don't
open till Christmas.

- Thank you, Miss Sherry.
- You're gonna wait?

Yes, why not?
Put it on my desk, will you?

I've got an awful lot and
I can't stop, I'm afraid.

Oh what a shame.

Terrible about that
poor Santa in Soho.

Quite so, Mrs. Shelley, quite so.

We have all the glory
details of the Yard.

And the photographs.

Well, I'll be seeing you again
then on, uh, Wednesday, isn't it?

Yes, Christmas eve. Uh,?
anything I can get for you?

No, I'm afraid that breakfast is the
only meal I can be sure of these days.

I tell you Mrs Shelby.
Christmas is no time to be a policeman.

I should be late.

Yeah, until, uh,
Wednesday. Then goodbye.

Goodbye.

Pity really.

Perhaps you'll show me some of
the odd photographs on Wednesday.

- Here you are sir.
- Thanks Powell. Good morning, pal.

Good morning, sir.

Oh, that girl's
been on against, sir.

I told her there was nothing new,
but she wants to talk to you.

God, I'm tired.
I get no sleep these days.

Do you think, sir, we might have
a psychopath on our hands?

Funny thing, Barl,
that's exactly what the assistant

commissioner was bellowing
at me moment ago.

I just tore myself
away from his office.

You know what I replied?

As early days yet for
a pattern, I suppose.

Guess what he answered with
that damn superiority of his.

Perhaps we can assume.

Then but the killings will
just stop and give us

something to look forward
to next Christmas.

More trouble is, Sir.

The moment anyone puts on a a
Santa Claus costume they become

a sort of semi-holy figure don't
they like well to the kids anyway.

The whole of the west end is
crammed with Santa Clauses.

What have you got on this latest?

Oh, petty crook known to West End
Central could have been pushing drugs.

This one could have been
a coincidence, actually.

Well, gangland rivalry.

Rivalry over what?
Chestnut vending pictures.

Thank you Powell,
that was a good try.

I'll call the girl.

Of course, inspector.
I'll be here.

Anything new?

- There's been another killing.
- Big deal.

If it's the chestnut vendor.
It's already been in the papers.

I haven't read the papers.

You haven't called
that longer back.

My father's just been
murdered. I can't concentrate.

Yeah, right. Sorry.

You have to come back into
the real world sometime.

Maybe that law's
call is important.

He did ask one
strange question.

- Harris.
- Yes.

It was about you.

He asked whether we intended
in getting married.

Did you know.

Yes, I'd like to speak to
sergeant Powell, please.

- Sergeant Paul.
- Yes, my name is Giles, Daily News.

Oh, Daily News. So you're
the one responsible

for these alarmist
headlines, are you?

Yes, well, some of them.

Are you only nearer to solving
these dreadful Santa Claus crimes?

Well, we're still
making our inquiries.

It's uh just a matter of time.

Which means you haven't a
clue who you're looking for.

What did you say your
name was again, sir?

My name is Giles, Giles.

All right, Mr. Giles. Well,
if you want any more information,

the chief inspector Harris will be
giving a press conference tomorrow.

Look, forget Harris.
Tell me. sergeant Powell.

Would it help your promotion prospects
if you were to solve this case personally?

Sorry. I don't understand
what are you getting at?

Do you have any information, sir?

Just think about what I've said.

I'll be in touch.

Uh, just a minute, sir.

Yeah, get me the
Daily News, wil you?

Kate!

- Kate Briosky?
- Yes.

- My name is Giles, Daily News.
- You startled me.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
Can I ask you some questions?

If it's about my father, I've
been told not to say anything.

Uh, who told you
not to say anything?

Chief Inspector Harris.

Anyway, I don't know what I can
tell you that you don't know already.

My interest is your personal angle.

Are you coping? What your
plans are that sort of thing?

If you've ever lost a mother or
father in unfortunate circumstances,

you wouldn't be asking
questions like that.

- Oh, but I have.
- I'm sorry but I have to go now.

If there's anything else you want to
know you better speak to the police.

Hey, Miss Briosky.

Merry Christmas.

Excuse me,
do you do requests?

Oh, blimey, by the look of
that you need to, eh?

- Jerry!
- Hey!

Where'd you spring from?

Well, you know me, mate.
Ducking or weaving, ducking or weaving.

- Who's the, who's the...
- Oh, well yeah this is a friend of mine.

Jerry, Kate, Jerry.

Oh yeah. I've met you before?
Are you uh famous on the TV, ain't?

Well, let me tell you
both for a drink, eh?

I'll see you boys later.
I'm getting a newspaper.

- What's up?
- She was on TV.

Her father was killed
at the Christmas party.

Not in the Christmas party.

Oh, Jesus what did
I say Jesus Christ.

Well, don't worry about it.
she's just raw with grief.

Well, look Cliff,
tell her I'm sorry.

Don't worry.
So what are you up to?

Well, I'm in two uh cameras.

- Are you stealing or selling?
- Hey, come on.

Take me a favor, will you?
I'm a photographer now.

I've got my own studio
they've got everything.

Porn?

Now would I do a thing like that?

So, if you're uh very interested,

why don't you put around
to the studio sometime?

Hey. I've just had a thought why don't
you come out tonight. It'd be great.

I don't want uh there might
be some change in it for you.

Especially if you bring the uh
pretty blond girl. Say about six?

Well nothing, uh, you know...

No, just let's say... interested.

- Right, you're on.
- Yeah, be great.

Nice to see you. Oh and get that
flute tune before you come there.

What did that creep want?

Oh, we're invited to tea.

- Oh yeah?
- Come on, let's go.

Come on darling, open it.

Good!
Lovely!

Right. I will just a...

Wait now.
Wait a minute.

We've not finished yet.

Now, just a few 35's.

What about my coffee break?

The coffee is there,
hang on.

You won't let me
get to it, will you?

Smile.
Lovely.

Just minute, stop.
I'm freezing.

- Just look that.
- It can't be.

We've got all
the lamps on. Look.

Right, a couple more,
then we'll go outside.

- What, like this?
- Why not?

That's freeze to death,
that's why not.

That will make you
nipples stand up.

Besides, the temperature
is just the same outside.

That's great.
Good.

Oh. Hi there!

- Your timing's perfect.
- What does he mean by that?

- Well, you did say interesting.
- What? Oh that.

Oh, that's just a working clothes.

Hey, good to you see you.
Come in.

How are you Kate?

- Anyone for coffee.
- Yeah, thanks too, Jerry.

Hi, Cliff, I'm Sharon.

Hi Sharon, I'm delighted.

And I'm bloody furious.

Would you're in?

Sharon is one my
favorite models.

He have trouble with that, Cliff.

If you get used a lot,
you lose work.

They'd say you're overexposed.

Do you find that a problem?

You're the other girl
that Jerry is telling me about.

What other girl?

He said we're doing
some doubles later.

Oh, did he?

Look Kate, uh, listen,
seems Jerry's got a bit of a problem.

He had another couple book for
tonight but they call and cancel.

Don't look at me like that.

He's got some wigs.
You can change your appearance.

Nobody'll ever know.

- It's a quick 50.
- Are you out of your mind?

Me? Cliff, what's
happening to you?

- Joey's an old friend.
- Well, he's not one of mine.

We're here anyway.

If you have good body.
You wanna put to work.

Are you ready then?

My God!
You're insensitive busters.

What have you said to?

Did you have to show her this?

I ought to ram it down
your bloody throat.

What I've done now then.

Her father, remember?

I've must stop doing that.

So this book
will be with Sharon.

- Better I'll go after her.
- Why?

You wonder yourself any
favors with her tonight.

Sharon, on the other hand.
She's ready and waiting.

And afterwards you can help
me with the street shots.

What street shots?

Come on, lover boy. Put your arm round
mama keep her warm it's cold outside.

Right, uh, maybe we
should wait for Jerry.

I don't think jerry got a
single shot in oh here detail.

But I should did.

You crazy. They can
get arrested us.

Oh, your lovely.

Oh-oh, they're come. they'll
think we're a couple of gays.

Christ! And we
haven't got any keys.

Run for it, beat it!

- Don't leave me here.
- Well, they've seen us.

This is go.

I don't understand
why you let her go home.

Well, when we brought
her home last night so I did

ask her not to leave the house
without letting us know.

- She's probably in there.
- I hope you're right.

Who is it?

Detective Inspector Harris Here.

Oh, it's you. You can come
on in I'm not getting up.

I'm in here.

Look. I'm losing a lot of work.

Just calm down, young lady, you
should have spent the night at the station.

It was only the unfortunate circumstances
of last night that saved you.

You were arrested
for indecent exposure.

Indeed, sir?
I'm a professional.

You were in public.
Now just you calm down and answer

a few questions of mine and
I'll let you go back to work.

- All I saw was the knife.
- Knife?

I think it was a knife.

Might have been a razor.

Look, it was bad enough being dumped
by Cliff in the middle of the night.

At the time of the
attack where was he?

I don't know.

Who do you think your
attacker might have been?

Oh I don't know,
it was so dark.

It could have been anybody. For
all I know it could have been you.

- Didn't you get a look at his face?
- He was wearing a mask.

Powell, I'm going off.
I'll be about an hour.

- Yeah but...
- Where's he off to in such a hurry?

What, oh. Well he's always going
off on his own somewhere.

Look. I want you to
think very carefully.

Is there anything that stands
out in your mind about the attacker?

- Anything at all.
- One thing.

- Can talk?
- His eyes.

- They seem to smile.
- Yes.

Can you remember
how tall he was?

- Oh, he was quite a big man.
- By my height?

- Yes, yeah, about your height.
- Yes.

Okay. Well, you've
been very helpful.

No, you just stay in bed
and rest. I'll see myself out.

Pick up the telephone.

- You can hear me now?
- Yes, I can hear you.

Sit down.

Oh, yes.

So Santa, did you
bring me any presents?

I'm... I'm not the real one.

I just work in the department
store down the road.

Oh, I thought you were you're.

You're very pretty to be
working in a place like this.

- I'm not really a model. I'm a dancer.
- A dancer?

Yeah, you want to see?

- Is that it?
- What do you expect, Flashdance?

I didn't know.
I didn't know what to expect.

It's my first time
in this sort of place.

- Me too.
- Really?

You see,
I live with my mother.

So do I.

I don't think my
mother would understand.

Does your mother
know you work here?

She ought to.
She owns it.

- I'm just filling in.
- Oh, for another girl?

No, for my mother.

- Look, can't we...
- Yes?

Can't we get rid of
this glass and then...

- What do you know...
- Oh, no!

That would be breaking the law.

Besides, who knows
what you might get up to?

All those kiddies sitting
on your knee all day.

I'd love to have
you sitting on my knee.

Would you?

Do you like me on your knee
all bouncing and raring to go?

Do you like your hands
all over me? Caressing me?

Oh, yes.

If you want to see anymore,
cost you another five.

What happened? Her boyfriend
came back unexpectedly?

I've told you. I never saw
the girl after the cops came.

So you spent all
night looking for her.

I spent all night looking
for that shit Jerry.

When I found him.
That's how I got this.

Oh, yeah!

Oh. I suppose this
must be her now.

Maybe she's
looking for you too.

Hello, Cliff.
What happened to your hand?

I came into violent contact
with a certain jaw.

Hello, inspector.
Any news?

No. I'm afraid not. Where
were you last night, Cliff?

- Is that any of your business?
- He was with me.

Yes. yes, I know he was.

Up to the point that you
stormed out of that studio.

But I'm interested in what
he got up to after that.

What's happened?

Sharon, the model
you met last night,

was attacked in the street.

Attacked?
Who would attack her?

Maybe you can tell me. You recall
how she was dressed Santa Claus.

I don't believe it.

You took that girl outside dressed in
that costume after all that's happened?

- You must be mad.
- That wasn't my idea.

I didn't think that...

Wait a minute. I've been on
the spot for two of these killings.

You're thinking it
could have been me.

That's ridiculous.

What possible reason could I have
for going around killing Santas?

Oh, none.
That we know of.

I'll be seeing you around, Cliff.

May I come and see you?

Of course Miss Briosky you
know where my office is.

No, I'd like to talk to you
somewhere less public.

Yes, my private number.

There are very few of
these out, Miss Briosky.

Kate.

Uh, you're very welcome
Kate, but please, not today.

- Goodbye.
- Bye-bye.

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

Giles, uh, Evening News.

Yes, they, uh, said, you'd be in your
office. I was just looking for a light.

All right, Mr. Giles, what
have you got to tell me?

- Well, my newspaper...
- No newspaper,

didn't seem to know where you were in
fact they've never even heard of you.

Yes, Giles Morgan.

I'm sure sergeant
MacBain showed me up.

Yes.

Now you mentioned on the
phone that you had some

information that might
lead me to the murderer.

I said would it help
your promotion prospects

if you were to solve
the murders personally.

Yes, all right.
But you do know something?

Your inspector Harris does
he tell you everything...

that you know what
his movements are.

You know, generally
keep you in the picture.

Well, I have a a fair
idea of what's going on.

Now come on what
are you getting at?

You should give a
better eye on him.

Are you suggesting
that inspector Harris...

No. I'm not suggesting anything.

I've got to go.
Catch the late edition.

You might try tailing him.

I might try tailing you.

Dennis, this chap has
just left my office.

Yeah, that's him.
Uh, just get one of the boys to

follow him for half an
hour see where he goes.

Let me know, okay.

Damn!

- Hey, is Santa!
- Look!

Kick, come on.

- Do you want a coffee?
- Yeah, yeah, thanks.

Funny that. I'm not
turning up at the inquest.

Don't you think so?

- Who are you talking about?
- Your detective inspector, Harris.

I thought he'd
have shown up.

Murder by person
or person's unknown.

Foregone conclusion.
I suppose he thought.

He thought it wasn't
worth coming.

To hear what
he already knew.

Are you obsessed
with him or something?

What's that supposed
to mean obsessed?

I only wanted to
make a point, that's all.

I'm the one that
loves you, not him.

Well, Sid just get out
as many as you can.

Yeah! Well, 20, 30,
something like that.

But let me know how many,
all right, thanks a lot.

- What do you want Inspector Harris?
- Yes, sir.

He's on his way down from the dizzy
heights of the commissioner's office.

And I don't advise you to be around
when it all starts hitting the fan.

He was in a foul mood
when he went up there.

Powell, I think this may
very well be my last case.

You know I think.
I'll beat him to it and resign.

That... that man up there has
issued me with a direct order.

Get your men out
on the streets.

- Decoys.
- Yes, sir. I know.

I've put the operation
into motion just now.

- Oh, it's like that is it.
- Why has he done it sir?

It's so that when the
home secretary climbs on his back.

You'll have a good answer when he's
asked "why don't you do something"?

Oh, I'm gonna do something.

Good it, Carl.
If soldier Paul could see us now.

Come on, oh, Mr. Show.

All right, all right now then.

Which of you little kids
didn't get no present earlier?

There was one over
here if I recall rightly?

Well, what are you?
Yeah, here, you are then.

And one over here.

Now, don't you go nauseous and won't go
otherwise I'll have your mamma after me.

All right, kiddies.
That's all for this year.

Santa's got to go back
prepare for next year.

All right. Be good.
Bye bye, kiddies, be good.

God!

What?

Do you think he's
having us followed.

I'll see.

Kate!
Well, hello, Cliff.

- Is this how you make a living?
- Yes, sometimes.

I realize Cliff could be of great
use to us through his connections.

He's liable to reach a
breakthrough long before we do.

Well, we'll just have
to keep in contact then.

And exchange the
latest news flashes.

I was going to
ask you just that.

Call me whenever you want.

Whenever you feel the need
to speak to something.

I might do that.
Thank you.

Come in, take a seat.

Sorry to bring you
down here with a police

escort we don't like
to take any chances.

You haven't caught him yet?

No we haven't caught him yet,

but with your help we might
get a bit nearer to it.

Now as I understand it you were
in your booth with a customer.

He was such a nice guy.

Yeah, yeah, they always are.

And you were talking to him,
and the curtains opened,

the killer came in committed the
crime and then just went out.

- That's right, it was horrible.
- Now then.

- Did you see his face?
- Yes.

You did? You saw his face,
so you can describe it.

Well, no. You see.
He was wearing a mask.

And there was
blood on the glass.

It sort of covered
everything up.

I see.

So you're telling me,

that a man can
stand in front of you,

commit a murder,

then turn around and walk out and you
don't remember a single thing about it.

I do remember one thing.
His eyes.

They sort of smiled
behind the mask.

If I saw those eyes
again I'd recognize him.

If he were was smiling.

Not a lot to go on,
but it's something.

Right. I want you
to go straight home.

In fact we'll take you home in a police
car and put a 24-hour guard on you.

Can't I go back to work?

Well I think it'd be inadvisable
under the circumstances.

You must remember, he
knows that you saw him.

Even with a mask so.

Yes, uh, can we have a car standing
by to take Miss Graham please?

Yes, straight to her apartment
and maintain a 24-hour guard.

If you go down to the main lobby

you'll find a sergeant Stevens
waiting for you, all right?

- It is that it?
- That's it.

Thanks very
much for coming in.

Yeah!

Are you Sergeant Stevens?

Dr. Stevens. he's just
popped around the corner.

But he'll be back in a
minute can I help you?

Tell him I've gone on
already, can you?

What if you hang on.
He'll only be a second.

That's all right. You're
supposed to give me a lift but,

I'm in a bit of a hurry,
so I'll just go on ahead.

Chief Inspector Harris's apartment.

Could I speak to Chief
Inspector Harris, please?

Oh, I'm afraid he's
not in who's calling?

My name's Kate Briosky.
I need to speak to him urgently.

Do you know
where I can find him?

Well...

- Please it's very important.
- Today's the day he visits Parklands.

He goes there once a month.
Regular as clockwork.

Parklands? do you
have the number there?

Oh, I don't think you
should ring him there.

But he'll be going straight to
the Yard after. Can't you wait?

I suppose it'll have to.

Oh, uh, please don't mention
that I said about Parklands.

I don't think he'd like
anyone to know about it.

- But what?
- I've said too much already.

Ring him at the
Yard this afternoon.

Yes, all right, thank you.

I'm back.

Thank god for that,
we're losing business.

Hi. I'm Sherry.
What's your name?

I haven't come here
to give you my name.

All right, you want to
get straight to the nitty gritty,

that's fine by me.
You know the rules.

Rules?
What rules?

You want to talk, talk.

you want to see my tits
that's an extra five.

For 15 I'll take everything off
and for 50 anything goes.

What you do on your side of
the glass is your business.

Hey, what's with you?

No, No!

Shut up, you bitch!
Or I shut up out that.

- What you'll do to me?
- I've not decided yet.

What do you take me?
I never heard you.

You went to the police.

I didn't tell them anything.

No, but you would've done.

I didn't see your face.
You're was wearing a mask.

Now you see it's too late.
You have seen my face.

Please, please, let me go. I'll
do anything please let me go.

You're all the same,
aren't you?

You sell little pieces
of yourself.

Five pounds for this.

15 pounds for that.

50 pounds and anything goes.

But you're not selling desire.

You're selling your souls.

You can't leave me here
I can't breathe I'll die.

Please, let me go, please.

While I'm gone. I want you to
think of the error of your ways.

- Then you'll let me go?
- No.

Then I kill you.

Please, Inspector Harris.

He's at home?
Yes, getting him, please.

Hello so yes it's,

Well, sorry. I just thought
I'd call in in case you uh...

You're off the case?

I see.

- There's been another killing.
- And you're holding me?

On what charge?

No. I'm letting you go releasing
you once and for all. Satisfied?

Once and for all?
How come?

Because I believe
I know the right man.

Wheres part...
Where's party?

What do you think you?

It's a party carrying on.

Look, there's no
party here, mate.

- I'm comin' to get you
- Trapdoor Q7, go.

Hello! Oh, Sergeant Powell,
please come up.

Miss Briosky I came
as soon as I could.

Things are pretty hectic
as you can imagine.

- I can. would you like a drink?
- No thanks I can

only stay a few minutes
what you have to tell me.

Well, it's rather embarrassing.

- I feel I'm betraying confidence.
- Get to the point, Miss Briosky.

I telephoned Harris's apartment
today, he wasn't there.

I spoke to the housekeeper and she
said something quite interesting you.

Oh, really,
what did she say?

She said that he
was visiting Parklands.

- Parklands, so?
- So it's a lunatic asylum.

Look. I've been doing
my own investigation.

There's no record of his
name at Somerset house.

Now, if the records are to be believed,
then he doesn't exists.

Miss Briosky I came here because you
had something important to tell me.

Not to say he doesn't exist.
Seems a bit ridiculous.

So, I think you've made a mistake.

I haven't made a mistake.

Maybe he's changed his name.

You're up a gumtree, so what
have you changed his name.

Look. I think there's
something weird going.

Harris keeps inferring that Cliff
had something to do with it.

But Cliff was standing right by
me when my father was killed.

Miss Briosky,
I'm afraid I have to go.

Look, I know. I'm
on the right track.

Well, if you find anything,
let me know.

We'll get there in the end,
but, I'm afraid the

register of births and
deaths is not the way.

- Dr. Bride will see you now, Miss.
- Thank you.

Oh, hello. Could I speak to sergeant
Powell, please? It's urgent.

Sergeant Powell's out
on nine o'clock, but I...

I'll put you through to the duty
Sergeant and you can talk to him.

No, it's all right, just tell sergeant
Powell it's Kate Briosky speaking.

And can he ring me as
soon as he gets in. Thank you.

Little boy,
here's a train for you.

That's pee everywhere.

Yes, who's there?

Hi. It's me, Kate.

Come on in.
You're on the right floor.

Hello, what's the problem?

I wanted to see you your car
did offer a 24-hour service.

I'm sorry, maybe you've
got someone here.

No, no. There's no one,
let me take your coat.

Come on through here. As a matter of
fact, it's a pleasure to see a fresh face.

And I'm very pretty man.
Let me get you a drink.

Thank you.

Oh, how cozy.

I was lucky to find you in.
Must be quite a busy time.

Oh, not particularly.
Anyway for me.

I've been fired,
you want this straight.

Yes.
Fired?

- Well, suspended officially.
- Really?

Cheers!

- Well, I've had a row with Cliff.
- I see.

Cliff hasn't been himself recently.

Ever since you practically accused him
of being involved with those killings.

He's almost started
acting as if he were.

- In what way?
- He's become obsessed.

Well, I'm no longer
on this case officially.

Well, in a way that doesn't
change anything for me.

You're the person I feel
closest to at the moment.

I bet you haven't
had dinner yet.

- Well, as a matter of fact I haven't.
- It'll be my pleasure.

- And, well, it's Christmas eve.
- Turkey.

With all the trimmings, Luigi.
Thank you.

Twice I've told you my name
and you haven't told me yours.

- Ian Harris.
- Ian.

Yes. It's not very interesting or romantic
I'm afraid and I'm not even Scottish.

I'm looking for the restaurant.

Uh you're not dressed
for the restaurant, sir.

Yes, I know that.

I don't believe it.
He's followed us here.

I was just looking for someone.

Very good, sir,
but you're not dressed for it.

Oh!

This came in earlier.
I think it's important.

- How did you get in here?
- The porter showed me up.

- It's cold in the alleyway.
- What do you want?

You can't just go barging into
people's apartments uninvited.

I can.

I'm welcome everywhere.

I'm a member of society.

A very important one, they said.

Look up Briosky in
there for me, doesn't?

You don't...

I had dinner with inspector Harris
he's expecting a call from me.

- Are you telling me I'm here?
- No.

Yes.

Then he'll come
and take me away.

Won't you?

- Answer me.
- I expect so.

So very hospitable, is it?

I saw Dr. Bridal today.
We talked about you.

No!

Harris is your brother.

- Did he tell you that?
- No, I worked it out myself.

You're very clever.
What else did you work out?

Harris's real name is
Harrison. He changed...

He changed it when they
put me into the loony bin.

He was very ashamed
of his little brother.

- But he visited you every month.
- Under surface.

I told him I'd write to
the papers if he didn't.

He used to tell me
about his police work.

So I thought I'd give him
a real case to work on.

- You killed my father.
- Yes.

It was...

unfortunate.
But you see...

He reminded me
of Christmas time.

Got it.

439-2369.

- Did I answer?
- No.

Come on,
I don't see you.

Might be important.
Maybe your brother.

No.

Hello?

Miss Briosky?

She's put the phone down or
somebody just put the phone down.

Come on, we better go.
I think she's in trouble.

- Search the place, quick.
- Okay.

Hello, yes, this is sergeant
Powell. Can you patch

me through this to the
special squad please?

Yes, hello! Yes, Powell.
I thought I told

you to watch
Harris night and day.

You did?

What he's been in it...

He's been in his
apartment all night?

You sure?

Oh God.

Okay. Okay.

Sir. I think our man's been
spotted in the old tide ever...

I brought you
something to eat.

How can I eat
with my hands tied?

yeah!
Okay.

If you try to escape
it was for you.

I won't, I promise.

What about you? Aren't
you gonna eat something?

No.

- I've already eaten.
- Christmas dinner, I expect.

Christmas?
How do you mean?

You know,
it's Christmas day.

Good will towards
men and all that.

I hate Christmas. I hate
everything it's done for.

- It's a shame.
- Won't you know of it.

Don't you remember when
you were a little boy,

listening to carol singers
sitting by the Christmas tree.

Waiting to open all
those presents?

- Stop it.
- Tinsel colored fairy lights.

- Plum pudding, snow falling.
- I said stop it.

And then the arrival
of Santa Claus.

The key?
Where's the key?

That's you're looking for?

You're dreadful.

I give few more hours and
it's how you paid me?

What do you mean
"a few hours more"?

Like you said, this Christmas day.

The day you die. The supreme sacrifice
to all the evil the Christmases.

No! No!

Come along, Giles.
Time to go to the Christmas tree.

Now then, Giles. Let's see
what Santa's brought for you.

But what about Ian?
There are presents his too.

What a nice knife. A
knife or a grown-up boy.

Isn't that nice Daryl?

What a clever boy
you are, Giles.

Mama's boy, mama's clever.

Oh, he's such a pretty
boy, who needs lots of

sleep make him grow up
to be big and strong.

So off you go now to bed.

Night-nighty, darling.

Gerald?
Where are you?

Get out!

Gerald!
