Doctor...

Here's your coffee

Thank you, Barbara

We're fine. Don't worry... Bye

Who's that?

Bresson

What's up?

A man escaped

A man escaped?

Yes. From Death Row

Hans Bergen

The Woodside Strangler

The sadistic Killer

Four murders in six months

Unrepentant

Will be hung at dawn

Might be the police

Go and see

Irma!

Hans Bergen

Who is it?

Bergen. He's unconscious

From Death Row. As good as dead

Here...

Barbara, bring him in

Now's your chance

THE DIABOLICAL DR Z

Which will help us determine their effects...

in the treatment of neurovascular diseases

Tomorrow, Dr Moroni will address you

But that's all from me

I hope you found it of interest

Thank you for your time

Vicas!

Vicas...

We're already late

Your attention, please

An addition to the program

Our friend Professor Zimmer would like to say a few words

Gentlemen... I thank you

It was not easy for me to get here today

As you know, I've been working on problems of the nervous system

...for more than 30 years

Some of you may consider him a charlatan

But all of you have heard of Dr Orloff

According to him...

there are certain precise areas of the brain and the spinal column

That inspire us to act either for good or evil

His research convinced him

that good and bad were merely a matter of physiology

That morality was located entirely in our motor centers

Now I have gone even beyond that

With the help of my daughter, Irma

I have managed to define precisely the physical centers...

of both good and evil

To control them is now easy

I have perfected a Z-ray capable of eliminating or stimulating these centers

And I have proof of my theories

You've experimented on humans?

No, Dr Kallman. No

Only on animals

How exactly?

Did you perhaps find some killer sheep, maybe?

Dr Moroni, this is no joke

I calmed a wild hyena and now she eats out of my hand

I reversed the process and she became enraged

She tried to attack herself

What do you want from us?

Permission to experiment on humans

What! Are you mad?

You Nazi bastard!

Let me speak!

By my method all the killers, the psychotics, the sadistic maniacs

can be turned into normal people

Inoffensive

Maybe even lead useful lives

Professor, have you no shame?

But what harm would it do

if I used a criminal from death row?

It's you who's the criminal

I think our feeling is you should leave at once

We formally forbid the continuance of this work

No, Vicas! No!

Father

Irma... promise you'll carry on

Father...

Yes. I promise

Irma...

Hello, Philippe

Just like the old days, huh?

Thanks for all your help

Why not go home?

I can't right now

The house will seem so empty

The way they treated your father was terrible

- I thought... - Thank you

But it's over now

Come on. Let's go

I couldn't do anything

I'm just a junior doctor. They don't listen to me

But I hate fools like Vicas, Moroni, Kallman

I'll never forget

Ladies - and above all gentlemen...

We present for your pleasure

The strange and mysterious Miss Death!

Want to go?

I'll take you

Goodbye

Philippe!

Going to Hartog?

Yes. Just you?

Yes

I was expecting your boyfriend to appear

No. I always travel alone

It's dangerous

But not with you

Come far?

From Rotterdam

My name's Juliann van Drokken

I love travelling

I have to hitch. I don't have the money for a train

But there's always some sucker...

- Oh! I'm sorry - Don't be

Don't your parents worry?

They're both dead

Killed in the war. I was two

I live alone

But I do all right

I make money somehow

Model... hostess... secretary

Oh! What a beautiful lake

Can we stop for a swim?

Why not

I don't have a suit

Borrow this one

- Thanks - It's nothing

The water's cold

I don't mind

I'm used to it

I can stay in the water for hours

Had enough?

Yes. It's too cold for me

It's great

Beats a swimming pool

What's wrong, Irma?

What do you want?

I was waiting for you

To say good bye

You're leaving?

Yes

I stayed for your father's sake

It may sound silly

But I admired him

So now you're going?

Yes. I can't stay here now

That business with Bergen

You pushed your father into it

He never would have done it

Bergen!

Who are you?

I am... Barbara Huberts

You still want to leave?

No

You promise to obey me?

I do

Get up. There's work to do

Fetch the big mirror

Sorry

Bergen. Get the car ready

Load all the equipment

We're moving

Where to?

The old house

I don't like that place

It's been empty so long

An excellent place to hide

Dr Zimmer's daughter is dead

Who'd look for her in a place like that?

We have work to do, Barbara

Vicas... Moroni... Kallman

Now I need a woman

A woman of blood and fire

To seduce and destroy them

Philippe!

I can't stay

I've got 3 days off. I can come to Paris with you

I got the tickets

I hope you won't be too busy on our first holiday together

Nadia!

Nadia, you're on

Go on

I can't wait

And neither can I. Don't be late

Tomorrow - the airport at three

Ladies - and above all gentlemen...

we would now like to present...

...the strange, the macabre, the mysterious...

Miss Death!

A message for Miss Death

Do you like America?

Who are you?

My card's there

I want to sign you up

New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas. 2000 dollars a week

You're kidding!

You heard me

5000 dollars on signature

But I can't go now. I...

I just want an option

Your signature

I only came in here by chance tonight

I loved your act

In America you could try for films

Hollywood...

Yes

I leave early tomorrow. So we don't have much time

Come to my agency

Well...

It's not far

But...

Don't bother to change

It's next door. Just put your coat on

Are they real?

Yes

- You off? - See you

I really want to do films

I've been trying this for a while. It's going well

Miss Death was my creation

But I want to move on. I think I can do better

This way

It's dark here

Just down the stairs on the right

Who's that?

The caretaker

- It's...? - A theatre

What's that?

What do you want? Who are you?

Let me go!

Passengers for Paris proceed at once to gate number 2

...we are now boarding

I can't hear you

She left yesterday?

You're sure?

Right...

OK. Thanks

Philippe, come on!

Last call for Paris

She's coming to

Careful

She's dangerous

You only kill when I say so. Understand?

Do you belong to me - body and soul?

Yes

Never forget it

Your magnificent nails are deadly weapons

You promise to obey me?

Now help me with Barbara

She's beautiful

Yes. Very beautiful

Who else lives here?

Just a man

Where is he?

Abroad

I love you Nadia. Philippe

I have to go away for two months

A job came up ...Unexpectedly

...in Paris

I'll write when I can. Love, Nadia

May I sit here?

Please

How rude of me

You're going to Hartog, too?

Yes

All through the night

You're alone?

I prefer it. And you?

Most of the time. For business

I travel for pleasure

I prefer trains

Or boats...

Slow boats

I hate flying

No intimacy

Don't you agree?

You're amazing

- Am I...? - What?

...Dreaming?

This train...

This journey...

You...

Touch my hand

Is that a dream?

I don't know

What incredible nails

A present from Dr Zimmer

There's blood on your dress. Strip off and burn it

Done. We have no time to lose

I hope I can be as successful with her

as my father was with you

I see him in the flames

Why did I kill him?

Why?

Shut up!

No. I must know why

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go

She's starting to remember

Open this door! Open it...!

You're scaring the fish

It's your face that scares them

Let's try further down

I had to go away for two months

an unexpected job in Paris

Don't people usually knock?

Sorry, I'm in a hurry

If you want Nadia, you're too late

Where is she?

She went off with some English woman

Did you recognise her?

I'm not sure. Maybe I've seen her before...

What was she like?

Brown hair... Strange glasses

Anything else?

No. Just those glasses

Didn't suit her

Another bad night?

Very bad

Not much you can do, I guess, when they're crying all night

Never stopped. All night long

Terrible

Well, I hope this case will be interesting

As overseas observer, I was expecting more

I'm not wishing a disaster on you

But things are a bit quiet

I think we're here

Why's he so tetchy?

His wife's just had triplets

They keep him awake all night

Hello

Inspector Grinder from Scotland Yard

So...?

It's a young woman

Dead several days

Burnt. No sign of drink or drugs

No sign of a struggle. The car seems to have caught fire

Might be an accident

Whose car is it?

Professor Zimmer's

Zimmer's been dead two weeks

Might be his daughter. We need to get her ID'd

Philippe Whitehouse?

Yes

Could you identify Irma Zimmer?

I think so

You knew her well?

Fairly well

I'm a doctor. I knew her father

A doctor?

Yes. A neurologist

Did you know Dr... Vicas?

Yes. Indeed I do

He was found dead last night

Near the railway line

Accident?

Yes. It's Vicas

He still had his papers and money

Who's cat's that?

It's Malou's

- Malou? - Yes, Malou!

I find the death of Dr Vicas more interesting

than the girl in the car

However, I still think he might have just fallen off the train

And the scratches on his throat?

Probably a wolf

Take a look

What...?

Curare

Found in the scratches in Vicas's throat

He was attacked by an animal

with nails that were long, sharp and filled with poison

Know any wolves like that?

Hard to be sure

The body was badly burned

We found...

...this ring

Yes, I think it's hers

Our first clue

Funny it's so hard to identify her

Was she blond or brunette?

Irma? Blonde

A natural blonde?

That, I don't know

Dr Zimmer, his daughter and Dr Vicas are all dead

They were all at the conference

Weren't you there too?

Yes

Then I'd watch your back

What's up love?

A nightmare. Vicas attacked by a panther

Don't fret

It's normal to be upset by death

True. But this was so strange

Yes

He was seen at dinner with a beautiful blonde

She's disappeared

A beautiful blonde. Really? You think it was murder?

I don't know

Anyway, I'm going out for a coffee

I have to work late tonight

Don't be too long

I don't like to be alone here

I won't stay. Bye

Evening, Christian

Evening doctor

- A coffee? - Please

Whisky please

Leaving, doctor?

I need some fresh air. Goodnight

Fancy it, big boy?

Sandra?

Police station

Dr Moroni, you're finished

Remember Dr Zimmer

You know Dr Moroni?

Why? Is he dead?

They just found his body

He was killed last night

The same scratches on him?

No. None at all

Was Moroni at that conference?

Indeed. He was Zimmer's fiercest critic

Come to dinner

Is that an order?

No. An invitation

Seems connected with that conference

As though Zimmer is being avenged

The police don't believe in ghosts

Even if policemen do

Another strong coffee please

Still crying?

All night... Didn't get a wink of sleep

His daughter...

Whose?

Zimmer

Well?

Maybe it wasn't her body in that car

All evidence in the murders of Vicas and Moroni

points in the direction of a young woman

But nothing like Irma Zimmer

But just like Miss Death

Miss Death?

It's the nails

Nadia had those long, sharp nails

Weren't you lovers?

Yes, but it's over

Inspector, what if someone took over her mind

Brainwashed her somehow...

Turned Nadia into a killer

Hey!

No-one's there, they all died

Right now, the house is closed

The case is still under investigation

His daughter's death is not yet established

Of course, but tell me... didn't Zimmer have another house?

You're right. There was another place

His family home. Near Hartog

Reduce the levels

Be careful!

Bye, guys

The wife's waiting

See you Sunday

Hey, Kallman! Drive carefully

Josef, quickly!

Help me carry her upstairs

Of course, doctor

Where am I?

Dr Kallman's surgery

My surgery

Just as you wanted

The first part of your plan has worked perfectly

What plan?

I was ready for you

The deaths of Moroni and Vicas put me on guard

That's not all

I know Zimmer's theories

I examined you closely

I found the operation scars

Your nails

I know who you are

Stay right there!

Call the police

Although I know you are being used by somebody

I doubt the police will see it that way

I'm sorry

That's them

It's over

She's no more use

She could be dangerous

Get rid of her quickly

Yes. She's mine

I control her

She can't get away

But... who are you?

You don't know?

Take a good look

Irma

Yes

Irma Zimmer. Remember now?

I'm sorry you got involved, Philippe

I meant you no harm

But you came between me and Nadia

And I needed her

No!

Don't bother

She only hears me

I had to avenge my father

She was the instrument

You've killed Bergen

That saves us the trouble

His only purpose was to serve me

Now I must get rid of Nadia

She's no use to me now. You too Philippe!

You won't leave here alive

I'm leaving - and so is Nadia

Too late!

Nadia. It's me - Philippe

Philippe

Nadia... wake up!

Irma Zimmer

Get me out of here

Hello, Dr Whitehouse

Inspector - It's incredible

How did you guess?

I stayed at my mother's and had a good night's sleep

Help her

You're right

This was a crime after all

My darling, it's all over

Don't worry

Let's go

I'll look after you. I'll cure you

It's going to be all right, Nadia

THE END
