so to speak, sorry no offence.
- Well you'd be surprised what
happens outside of New York,
even in Rochester.
No to tell you the truth in
the three months I've been here
no one's brought it up.
That is unless you count
what happened this morning.
Some crazy drunk got me on the phone.
- Well I must say I think you're
stupid living in that silly
walk up all by yourself.

Raw enough but it was the way he said it.
{beeps)

It's alright, really.
- Anything you say.
I'll check that address for you.
- What's the matter with you

why didn't you tell him?
- And spend another hour filling in forms?
No thanks.
I'm tired Marion.
- Miss Freeman.
- I'm just trying to help you.
- What did he mean threatening?
- Nothing, just some foul mouth drunk.
- The guy you had trouble with tonight?
- No, no.
- Do you get these calls often?
- Do you mean do I
imagine them, hear voices,
see burglars under my bed maybe?
- Do you get these calls often?
- No this was the first one.
Look I was gonna report it
but it's just a phone call.
- Yeah.
I was the one who called you this morning.
- {scoffs) Ch I don't believe you.
- Well can you swear it wasn't me?
- Well what kind of a question is that?
What are you trying to do?
Scare me?
- I'm suggesting it could
be somebody you know.
Nobody's inviolate, including virgins.
- Suddenly my sex life has
become the topic of conversation.
L don't think you're in the
least bit amusing lieutenant
what ever your problem is.
- Come on, I'll drive you home.
- Not if I were bleeding in the street!
Goodnight Miss Dane.
{phone ringing)
- Hello.
Oh it's you.
Yeah I just got in a little while ago.
Oh by the way did you

{phone rings)
Hello.
Hello my love.
L wanna talk to you.
- Look mister I don't know how
you got my telephone number
or what you think can possibly
happen by your calling me.
I'm a man and I,
I will make you feel like a real woman.
- You're sick you know that?
You're really sick!
Look why don't you just
hang up and leave me alone.
I know you so well.
L know every inch of you so well.
L know every area-
- Now lock here you shut up!
I've already told the police about you.
You'll never let me alone.
Nora, I wanna caress your skin.
- Why did you call me Nora?
Oh Nora my love.
I wanna rip, rip your clothes Nora.
{phone clicks)
Mommy, daddy!
My window's open and my
dolly says she's cold,
she can't sleep.
- Well he knew my name,
my number and my name.
You're listed aren't you?
- That's just it, I'm not.
This is a sublet, the
girl's a dancer on tour
with the national company for six months.
- You know anything
about her, her friends?
- Well she was recommended to
me by a friend of our family.
And she seems to be a
very nice, normal girl.
Oh lieutenant what should I do?
- Change the number.
- L can't, it's not mine.
L can't just cut her off from her life.
- That's very nice of you.
I see that they
include it in the eulogy.
- Hey wait a minute, you
said that he gets his kicks
just out of listening to me react.
- L said most of the time.
With them you don't get a guarantee.
Why should they be different?
Nothing lasts, nothing's safe.
There's no protection and rules.
- Thanks a lot.
- Now what do you want?
A fairy tale?
That's the way it is, accept it
and maybe you'll live to enjoy
well whatever it is you wanna enjoy.
- Would you like a piece of cake?
- Sure.
- L think you're wrong you know.
Maybe in your business you
do have to think that way
but somethings do last, and by rules.
- Well we were discussing
the telephone psychotic
which is generic like saying animal,
it's a beginning period,
then you start to break it down.
Lion, giraffe, mouse.
- That was no mouse that called me.
- Some are fetishists, some are sadists,
some are masochists,
then there are the simple
voyeurs, the pedophiliacs
but even that's too
neat, to much like rules,
50 we have the combinations
and I'm not talking
about your uncle Charlie
who buys pin up calendars,
I mean the complicated
pairing, the sado masochist,
the voyeur masochist, the
exhibitionist, the necrophiliacs.
- You seem to know a
lot about these things.
- Some one should.
- In the meantime what happens?
Couldn't you trace his calls or something?
- Think you could keep him on the phone
for about six minutes?
- L could fry.
- You might invest in a police lock
and get someone to stay with you.
- You're saying that
he might come up here.
- If knew what he was going to do
then I'd be him wouldn't I?
{engine rumbling}
{water splashing)
{dramatic music)
{ominous chord)
- Pam?
Oh hello sweetheart.
- Daddy you're home.
- Where's Miss Neilson?
- I'm here lieutenant, you
don't have to worry about
my being here, goodnight.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight baby see you in the morning.
- Goodnight.
Gee I'm glad you're home.
- Are you honey?
I'm glad.
- You're very late tonight daddy.
At a vehicular homicide?
- L know, I'm sorry.
Well bedtime Pam.
- Oh gee dad you just got home.
- Now look I've got
something important to do,
try to understand huh, please?
- Sure, goodnight daddy.
- Goodnight honey, sleep tight.
- Goodnight.

B127 July
Mrs. Rachel Marvin housewife
file three telephone.
I
assumed it was somebody I knew
or just, I said yes who is this?
And there was another moment of silence
and he said you are the
blond Mrs. Marvin aren't you?
And I said oh come on who is this?
And he said did anyone ever
tell you how great you look
in bermuda shorts?
Well
then what happened?
What did he say?
He, ah,
said he'd like to meet me
for a drive in the country.
Did
he go further than that?
Did he...
Yes he
said once we gt to the country
what he intended to do.
I see.
He was
saying those ugly things.
L wanna tell you my husband,
he don't talk that way
and he's my husband.
Number
207 Wendy Solomon student.
I mean
there I was alone with my baby
sister and he was saying
all those terrible things
and I didn't know when
the folks were coming back
and I was screaming and
1 think maybe I fainted.
L pushed the couch against the door
and I took the bread knife to bed with me.
L didn't go to school for two days.
But he sounded like such a scabby old man.
Had you
ever heard this language before
used by anyone?
Well in school you know.
But not like the way he said it.
That
was three days ago,
have you had any more phone calls?
No nothing,
but my mother said once during the day,
when I wasn't there it rang
and then someone hang up,
just when she answered the phone.
Well it
was probably a random caller
and it won't happen again.
7 Won't you be mine
- Oh look at the one in red, the blond.
I So give me your hand and stand by me J
J Through rain or shine J
J I can own the world
with you baby is mine &
Madam, Monsieur this way please.
7 I'm born to be bad
that's what they say &
7 But they're gonna come that happy day &
- He wouldn't leave a message.
1 think it's important sounds like a job.
- Let's hope so.
Hello?
Make it fast will you darling?
- Yep, hello?
Nora, Nora I was
right about your body.
You are beautiful in that
little bikini you wore.
- What do you want from me?
I wanted to reach
out and touch you today
Nora don't you see?
I'm with you every where.
You look so beautiful, your skin-
- It was that nut right?
I'm sorry I didn't know.
- He must've been following me
because he knows where I've been all day.
- Nora I don't think you
oughta go home tonight.
L mean, alone anywhere.
- No.
- Well for a couple of days you can,
you can stay at my place.
Maybe by that time those dumb cops
will figure something out.
- No I'd like to go
home Marion, I mean now.
- I's your life.
I'll get Carlo to take you.
- No, no!
Nobody.
I'll be alright.
7 Toothbrush and comb &
J Oh toothbrush and comb &
7 That's all I need any
place I go is home J
That's what happened when I touched it.
- And no one you know could have left it?
- No, that's why I called you.
- Easy does it Miss Dane.
- If's just that I'm just a little shaky.
S that all?
- It's all we need for now.
We're putting a tap in just in case.
Now if he calls make sure
you keep him on the phone
as long as you can.
- He knew exactly where I was.
- L know, you told us.
We'll have a line cut in for 36 hours.
- But suppose, suppose he doesn't call?
- I'm sorry that's all we can do for now.
L suggest you try and relax Miss Dane.
- Oh, I'll be alright.
- No sign of a jimmy.
- Of course with a sublet
like this you never know
how many people have a key.
- No!
L mean she would've told me.
- You don't need one for this.
Aloid could spring it easy.
- What's that?
- A thin piece of stiff celluloid.
A 10 year old kid can use it.
All he has to do is--
- Ah, if you're finished Frank...
- Ch sure.
- We'll take this down to the lab
and maybe they'll find something.
- L feel so vulnerable,
you know, knowing that he
could come in any time.
- Excuse me but you don't
really know it was him.
Oh we'll report it and all
but there's no proof of any felony.
- What kind of proof do you want?
Me lying on the floor?
- Take it easy, suppose we
let Miss Dane get some rest.
- Hey lieutenant, what's up.
- Good morning Dave.
- Well I saw the car
downstairs, Lou filled me in.
- You seem to keep show
business hours lieutenant
even on your day off.
- You lock like you could use a drink.
- You have a kid Dave.
They don't make them like
this anymore do they?
- Mouldy isn't it?
- What does it mean?
- Well it must mean something
to whoever left it here.
- Well we'll see you again Miss Dane.
- Goodnight Miss Dane.
- Goodnight.
- I thought you might have a lead Dave.
When Miss Dane called
tonight she asked for you.
- Oh?
- She was under the impression
that the squad was handling
the telephone calls.
- I'm handling it personally.
- Okay Dave, see you later.
- Goodnight.
- I'm kind of tired lieutenant.
- Oh now don't be funny please.
You look like you're
ready to climb the walls.
I'm gonna fix you a drink
and I want you o tell me
all about that phone call
and see that you get that drink down.
Ah here's the booze.
Old doc Madden's magic elixir.
- L could almost believe you.
Make yourself one.
- Oh I'm way ahead of you.
- Well, I guess I might as well go change.
- Technically I'm off duty right?
So why not I say?
- What?
L can't hear you.
- L say nostrovia!
- Oh.
- Who bought this stuff?
You?
- No it was here when I moved in.
Why?
- Well it says on the bottle
brewed by the house of Borgia.
Oh wait a minute there's some small print.
For external use only.
- Oh well it sounds pretty good to me.
- Well coming right up.
- Oh make mine with water.
- Haven't you had enough
chlorine for one day?
Ah but you've had enough day for one day.
Running around the way
you do, is it worth it?
Grabbing coffee and a hamburger,
what kind of lunch is that?
- L had a steak for lunch.
- Ch some steak, lady
you're no 10 year old,
you need your energy.
In and out of theatres and to top it off
spending a whole hour making
like Johnny Wisemiller.
Correction Ester Williams.
I'm sorry, 'l wait in the other room.
Here's your drink.
- Oh no thank you.
Look, I'm feeling very tired,
would you mind going please?
- What's the matter with you?
- Nothing, I, I just gota
little startled when you came
to the door.
- What's going on in that head of yours?
- L told you I'm just a little tired.
- You think because I
have a drink with you
I'm gonna wrestle you around the room.
Every scrawny broad thinks
she's the only entrusted with
the crown jewels and that
she'll die if she lose them.
Not that you're so scrawny.
And you're not a broad either are you?
- Stay away from me.
- L think you're flipping--
- I'll kill you if you come near me.
- What's the matter--
- Don't touch me!
Don't you dare touch me!
All your talk about perversions.
[t was yourself you were talking about.
Get outta here!
- Nora!
- Get outta here!
L don't care what your problem is
and I don't care if you are sick
to me you're an animal, you
with a wife and a child at home
you're & dirty, disgusting animal!
- Animal?
- Leave me alone!
- Animal? Animal?
Don't you put me in their class, not me!
Do you like to go to the movies?
Well three years ago my
wife went to a movie,
it was just down the
block from where we lived.
She never came home.
They found her the next
morning just before day break,
she was behind a staircase
in the basement of an old building.
She'd been raped, mutilated,
horribly mutilated.
They told me he'd done
that after she was dead.
If 1 could only believe that.
Well they never found him,
at least no one who ever admitted to it.
- I'm sorry.
- So I could tell you
anything you wanna know
about perverts and degenerates.
I've gone 10 steps
beyond any psychiatrist.
I've catalogued the
condition of their teeth
and the type of soap
they use when they shave
and it's paid off, believe
me it's paid off good.
The only record I don't have
is how many of 'em I've sent away.
{phone ringing)
Answer t.
Answer it and if it's him don't hang up
no matter what he says.
Do you understand?
Do it and make a date with him.
{phone ringing)
- Hello?
Yes well I, 1 was on edge then.
Yes, yes, I'm, I'm very
much more relaxed now.
But I don't understand you,
I still can't hear you.
Hello?
He hung up.
{phone clicking)
- Lou, Dave Madden.
Did you get it?
Good.
- He started off the way he usually does
and then, I don't know,
something must've happened,
he started shouting and...
I couldn't make out what he said.
- It's alright we have the tape.
Look I wanna speak frankly,
believe me I don't wanna frighten you.
There was a case in Utah
about six months ago,
a similar pattern.
I'm afraid he's not gonna be satisfied
with the telephone anymore.
- Whatever you say.
- Well tomorrow see if you can
get someone to stay with you.
At least a week to make sure.
- Well what happens tonight?
- The easiest would be my place.
- Easy for who?
- You said you were tired.
- You know, there's
somethings a girl prefers
to pick out herself.
And high on the list,
right underneath lipstick,
is a bed partner and
it's not really funny.
- Well tell me does my
10 year old daughter
get to make the same choice?
{gentle music)
- I'll get my toothbrush.
{gentle music)
- Hey do you always keep this shade up?
Well who's gonna see me?
A peeping brick?
(suspenseful music}
- I wonder what set him off?
(suspenseful music}
{match strikes)
- You ready?
You wanna see?
L put it on all by myself.
Oh Lar, Lar it's a beautifully,
gorgeous birthday present

Only I, I didn't do the buttons to good.

- Edie--
- Where's mine Lar?
What happened to mine?
- Edie now come on.
(crying}
Edie stop crying.
Please, please?
- L miss him Lar, I miss him.
L loved him so much.
What happened to him?
- Edie look I told you a long time ago.
He was in an accident a long time ago.
- He died didn't he?
L forgot.
- It was an accident Edie.
- Who did it?

Who killed him?
Lar, Lar how did teddy die?
- Please Edie, now come on, stop it.

- No, she's not what, what you said.
- Well how long is she gonna stay?
It's Saturday.
- Now don't worry honey.
We'll go to the zoo, I didn't forget.
It's only 10 o'clock.
- Well then I think I'll
have me a bath, tata.
- Well now you didn't
have to do the dishes.
- Oh?
L don't recall you mentioning
that before I started them.
You know something?
L feel very relaxed here.
- Well good, Pam wants you
to come to the zoo with us
this afternoon.
- Oh, you are a liar lieutenant.
- Dave.
- You're still a liar Dave.
- Pam.
Yes daddy?
- Ch no, no don't put her on the spot.
Okay, I'll come with you.
- Never mind honey.
The answer is yes, she knows all about it
and no it doesn't bother her, okay?
- Look you don't have to
defend yourself to me.
- I old you once, no one is invulnerable.

I'm not gonna shut out the world,
I'm not gonna be forced to become
something that has to
run and hide in comers.
Not by him and not by you.

Did you get the key?
- L was just gonna ask you.
- Oh it's in an envelope
in your middle drawer.
Why don't we go home together?
- It suits me.
We could share a cab.
- Are you sure you don't mind waiting?
Closing sometimes takes forever.
- What do you mean mind?
I'm very grateful that
you're coming along.
- Don't be silly.
See what you can do about that music
or we won't last until closing.
I've seen dead nights in this joint
but this is ridiculous.
- Oh Marian why don't you use my robe?
- Ch don't be silly,
you'll freeze to death.
I'll wear your coat, I dig fur anyway.
You know when I was a kid I used to cry
because the blanket was too rough.
L used to cry like the devil
and beg my mom to buy me a fur blanket
are you ready for that?
{laughing}
I dig soft things, don't you?
- Mmhmm.
{gentle music)
- Can't trace a few crank calls.
How about those cops?
Well he hangs up too soon.
- Funny thing.
Cop can see through a wall,
tap your phone with an old razor blade
but he can't figure out a
way to rap a stupid moron.
- Well it, it could be a
technical problem after...
After all there are a lot
of telephones in the city.
- Baloney.
You know what I think?
L think there's a little bit
of this jerk in every guy
including the cops,
maybe they've all got a guilty conscience.
{phone ringing)
Now let me get that.
- No! Wait!
- He doesn't scare me.
- Let it go.
{phone ringing)
- Nora, maybe it's a wrong number.
- It doesn't matter.
{phone ringing)
Just stay with me please.
Where I can see you.
{phone ringing)
I'm gonna die Marian, he's
gonna kill me I just know it.
{sobbing)
- Don't talk like that baby, don't.
- I'm so tired of running
and wondering how and
when it's gonna happen.
- Look stop it!
Now stop it!
- 1 don't know what he wants.
1 don't know why he would want to kill me.
L keep imagining all kinds
of terrible things.
- Oh come on, come on, that's it,
let it out honey get rid of it.
Oh baby shh, that's right.
That's a baby, that's a good baby.
{sobbing)
Come on let it all out.

No body's gonna do a thing
to you while I'm ar--
What's that?

- Look Marian l...
Get outta here please.
- I don't get it sweetie.
- Look I maybe wrong and

if you just go right now.
- Yeah but I don't under...
I don't understand.
- Get out of here please.
- Look doll baby I think there's something
the matter with you, I think you're sick.
L think those telephone voices of yours
maybe they don't exist, maybe

L went out of my way to be nice to you.
- Maybe too nice.
- You're all wrong baby.
- If Lam [apologise.

- You said we'd never be
seeing you again Adler.
- L meant it lieutenant.
I mean tell me they pick
me up for something?
L got caught doing something?
No.
Something about a stocking right?
Some guy did it to a woman
and ripped off her stockings right?
So get Adler, everybody
knows Adler likes stockings.
Get Adler!
- How are things in Green Paint Sutter?
- Hey this is a big mistake.
I'm not a stocking man,
maybe him but not me.
You should know that lieutenant.
- L know.
Dresses and hats right Sutter?
Silk dresses and big fruity hats right?
- Right.
- Sure I knew that.
- Then why'd you make them
pick me up for stockings?
- Because I thought maybe
you'd changed your diet.
Yeah it's a
big joke to you right?
Well who do we hurt
with our special likes?
- Where do you think we got your address?
In the phone book?
Do you remember Wood Haven?
- Oh well, millions of women in the city
why do you suppose we choose this one
and not that one?
Because we can tell that's why.
Like a cat or a dog, we can tell.
- Shut up Adler.
- These broads are looking for it.
But they gotta blame somebody right?
Gotta yell rape.
Rape! Rape! Rape!
That way they stay clean right?
That way they get it and they stay clean.
- Put'em on ice.
- Dave, this belongs to homicide not us.
- So we save them the trouble.
Go on hook 'em.
- On what charge?
- New York penal law,
article 16 section 197.
- Davy I can't do that.
- No dangerous animal permitted
to roam the city streets.
- I guess you know they've
been sending weekly sheets
on you downtown.
- Yeah I heard.
- Can't you see?
That junk you got in your apartment,
did it help you in anyway?
Or did it just help a 10 year old kid
talk like a vice squad detective?
Dave you're aver the
line, you've gone over.
- What do you mean?
- You've joined them.
- Who?
The animals?
- We're all animals Dave.
The line I mean divides
the sick from the well.
(door slams}
- Lar?
{water splashing)
- Hit
- Hiya.
- Ch boy.
Here you wanna use it?
- Thanks.
I didn't know that you came here.
- Oh, well I work out in the gym upstairs.
- I think everybody should work out.
You have a very nice body.
- Well I like to work out.
- L don't like it when men
let themselves get fat.
It's nice around here
without anybody isn't it?
- Well actually you know it
doesn't get crowded until
about 5:30, that's when
everybody's off from work.
- Uh huh.
You gonna go to work tonight?
- Well I don't know, I guess I'd better.
What about you, you think you might go?
- Probably.
How's your sister?
- Oh she's fine.
- She's very sweet.
How old is she?
- Huh?
- How old is she?
- She's 19.
- L remember when I was 19,
that's when I decided I was
gonna take the world by storm
and become a big star.
I used to have to travel up
and down to New York everyday
and started off by
taking acting lessons...
And then at the first
audition I went to they said
do you sing?
So then I started taking singing lessons
and then another audition
they said oh that's fine
but do you dance?
The guys said to me oh
we like everything you do
but you're just not the right type.
Lawrence?
Hey you haven't listened to a
word I've been saying to you.
Come on let's go swim huh?
{water splashing)
- I'll help Miss Nielsen with the dishes.
- Good girl.
L oughta slug you.
You weren't supposed
to leave the apartment.
- Well I had to get out.
You know I was thinking Dave,
if I hadn't sent Marian out last night--
- Oh now stop it, come on.
Now how are you gonna get
home after work tonight huh?
- Wells Fargo is sending
an armoured truck.
- Oh I'm laughing.
- Oh come on now.
You know if he was really out to get me
he's had a million chances.
- Yeah.
- 'L get Michelle to take me home okay?
- Okay and call me as socon
as you get to the club.
- L just wish you wouldn't worry so much.
Especially about me.
- Look I don't give a
damn what happens to you.
- Yeah, I know.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Well how'd
he sound as if he knew you?
In
a strange sort of a way,
he was familiar.
Did he use your name?
The words threw me
and beyond that I can't remember.
- Night Sam.
- Business as usual tonight.
- Better than usual.
- L guess we're gonna have
to look for some other jobs.
Oh Nora.
- Hmm?
- Would you like a cigarette?
- No, no thank you.
Are you gonna go back to teaching dance?
- No thanks.
Anyway Marian only worked for the owners,
1 don't think they'll close the club.
- Well that's good.
That's good cause I like it here.
- L bet you do.
Watching all those young chicks.
Don't think I haven't
noticed you and Michelle.
- Maybe him, not me, no.
- Oh, well now there's
nothing wrong with it,
I mean 'm not putting it down.
Don't think I haven't envied
those sleek young blonds.
- Oh no, no you're too busy.
I mean, well you don't
get a chance to see them.
The way they move, all the time
the way they're moving if's...
It's very suggestive.
- Well so's walking if you think of it.
- But have you seen their faces?
No they're cold and they're
without any emotion at all.
- Oh come now, what do
you suppose you look like
when you're dancing?
What goes through your mind?
{laughs)
- No, I don't dance I told you that.
No, no I don't dance, not like that.
- Give me your coat.
Come on, come on.
- Ready pussy cat?
- Oh do you have 15 minutes?
- Darling tonight's
Monday, not even 5 minutes.
- Oh well then you go
on, I'll go home alone.
- If you're sure, goodnight.
- Goodnight.
{upbeat music}
Come on it's easy, all you
have to do is shake your hips
from side to side, try it.
One, two, one, two.
There you go.
Miss Nielsen can
I have a glass of water?
- Miss Nielsen?
Called
once but hung up right away.
He hung up?
Why did he hang up?
Because,
1 think he thought I was
somebody else.
Did he
continue to use foul language
in the second phone call?
- Look daddy I can see you in the mirror.
To be very nice
so I would listen to him.
You're
a widow Mrs. Goran.
I mean do you go with
anyone in particular?
Do you have a boyfriend?
No.
(clicks}
- Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Miss Nielsen, wait til I come back.

No to tell you the truth in

Some crazy drunk got me on the phone.

Scare me?
- I'm suggesting it could
be somebody you know.
Nobody's inviolate, including virgins.
- Suddenly my sex life has
become the topic of conversation.
L don't think you're in the
least bit amusing lieutenant
what ever your problem is.
- Come on, I'll drive you home.
- Not if I were bleeding in the street!
Goodnight Miss Dane.
{phone ringing)
- Hello.
Oh it's you.
Yeah I just got in a little while ago.
Oh by the way did you
get a chance to see him?
Yeah?
'Oh no it be alright Marion 'm sure..
Say Marion listen I'm pretty tired,

Okay, yeah you bet.
Bye.
{ominous chord}
{ominous music}
{phone clatters)
{phone whirring)
{phone rings)
Hello.
Hello my love.
L wanna talk to you.
- Look mister I don't know how
you got my telephone number
or what you think can possibly
happen by your calling me.
I'm a man and I,
I will make you feel like a real woman.
- You're sick you know that?
You're really sick!
Look why don't you just
hang up and leave me alone.
I know you so well.
L know every inch of you so well.
L know every area-
- Now lock here you shut up!
I've already told the police about you.
You'll never let me alone.
Nora, I wanna caress your skin.
- Why did you call me Nora?
Oh Nora my love.
I wanna rip, rip your clothes Nora.
{phone clicks)
Mommy, daddy!
My window's open and my
dolly says she's cold,
she can't sleep.
- Well he knew my name,
my number and my name.
You're listed aren't you?
- That's just it, I'm not.
This is a sublet, the
girl's a dancer on tour
with the national company for six months.
- You know anything
about her, her friends?
- Well she was recommended to
me by a friend of our family.
And she seems to be a
very nice, normal girl.
Oh lieutenant what should I do?
- Change the number.
- L can't, it's not mine.
L can't just cut her off from her life.
- That's very nice of you.
I see that they
include it in the eulogy.
- Hey wait a minute, you
said that he gets his kicks
just out of listening to me react.
- L said most of the time.
With them you don't get a guarantee.
Why should they be different?
Nothing lasts, nothing's safe.
There's no protection and rules.
- Thanks a lot.
- Now what do you want?
A fairy tale?
That's the way it is, accept it
and maybe you'll live to enjoy
well whatever it is you wanna enjoy.
- Would you like a piece of cake?
- Sure.
- L think you're wrong you know.
Maybe in your business you
do have to think that way
but somethings do last, and by rules.
- Well we were discussing
the telephone psychotic
which is generic like saying animal,
it's a beginning period,
then you start to break it down.
Lion, giraffe, mouse.
- That was no mouse that called me.
- Some are fetishists, some are sadists,
some are masochists,
then there are the simple
voyeurs, the pedophiliacs
but even that's too
neat, to much like rules,
50 we have the combinations
and I'm not talking
about your uncle Charlie
who buys pin up calendars,
I mean the complicated
pairing, the sado masochist,
the voyeur masochist, the
exhibitionist, the necrophiliacs.
- You seem to know a
lot about these things.
- Some one should.
- In the meantime what happens?
Couldn't you trace his calls or something?
- Think you could keep him on the phone
for about six minutes?
- L could fry.
- You might invest in a police lock
and get someone to stay with you.
- You're saying that
he might come up here.
- If knew what he was going to do
then I'd be him wouldn't I?
{engine rumbling}
{water splashing)
{dramatic music)
{ominous chord)
- Pam?
Oh hello sweetheart.
- Daddy you're home.
- Where's Miss Neilson?
- I'm here lieutenant, you
don't have to worry about
my being here, goodnight.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight baby see you in the morning.
- Goodnight.
Gee I'm glad you're home.
- Are you honey?
I'm glad.
- You're very late tonight daddy.
At a vehicular homicide?
- L know, I'm sorry.
Well bedtime Pam.
- Oh gee dad you just got home.
- Now look I've got
something important to do,
try to understand huh, please?
- Sure, goodnight daddy.
- Goodnight honey, sleep tight.
- Goodnight.

B127 July
Mrs. Rachel Marvin housewife
file three telephone.
I
assumed it was somebody I knew
or just, I said yes who is this?
And there was another moment of silence
and he said you are the
blond Mrs. Marvin aren't you?
And I said oh come on who is this?
And he said did anyone ever
tell you how great you look
in bermuda shorts?
Well
then what happened?
What did he say?
He, ah,
said he'd like to meet me
for a drive in the country.
Did
he go further than that?
Did he...
Yes he
said once we gt to the country
what he intended to do.
I see.
He was
saying those ugly things.
L wanna tell you my husband,
he don't talk that way
and he's my husband.
Number
207 Wendy Solomon student.
I mean
there I was alone with my baby
sister and he was saying
all those terrible things
and I didn't know when
the folks were coming back
and I was screaming and
1 think maybe I fainted.
L pushed the couch against the door
and I took the bread knife to bed with me.
L didn't go to school for two days.
But he sounded like such a scabby old man.
Had you
ever heard this language before
used by anyone?
Well in school you know.
But not like the way he said it.
That
was three days ago,
have you had any more phone calls?
No nothing,
but my mother said once during the day,
when I wasn't there it rang
and then someone hang up,
just when she answered the phone.
Well it
was probably a random caller
and it won't happen again.
7 Won't you be mine
- Oh look at the one in red, the blond.
I So give me your hand and stand by me J
J Through rain or shine J
J I can own the world
with you baby is mine &
Madam, Monsieur this way please.
7 I'm born to be bad
that's what they say &
7 But they're gonna come that happy day &
- He wouldn't leave a message.
1 think it's important sounds like a job.
- Let's hope so.
Hello?
Make it fast will you darling?
- Yep, hello?
Nora, Nora I was
right about your body.
You are beautiful in that
little bikini you wore.
- What do you want from me?
I wanted to reach
out and touch you today
Nora don't you see?
I'm with you every where.
You look so beautiful, your skin-
- It was that nut right?
I'm sorry I didn't know.
- He must've been following me
because he knows where I've been all day.
- Nora I don't think you
oughta go home tonight.
L mean, alone anywhere.
- No.
- Well for a couple of days you can,
you can stay at my place.
Maybe by that time those dumb cops
will figure something out.
- No I'd like to go
home Marion, I mean now.
- I's your life.
I'll get Carlo to take you.
- No, no!
Nobody.
I'll be alright.
7 Toothbrush and comb &
J Oh toothbrush and comb &
7 That's all I need any
place I go is home J
That's what happened when I touched it.
- And no one you know could have left it?
- No, that's why I called you.
- Easy does it Miss Dane.
- If's just that I'm just a little shaky.
S that all?
- It's all we need for now.
We're putting a tap in just in case.
Now if he calls make sure
you keep him on the phone
as long as you can.
- He knew exactly where I was.
- L know, you told us.
We'll have a line cut in for 36 hours.
- But suppose, suppose he doesn't call?
- I'm sorry that's all we can do for now.
L suggest you try and relax Miss Dane.
- Oh, I'll be alright.
- No sign of a jimmy.
- Of course with a sublet
like this you never know
how many people have a key.
- No!
L mean she would've told me.
- You don't need one for this.
Aloid could spring it easy.
- What's that?
- A thin piece of stiff celluloid.
A 10 year old kid can use it.
All he has to do is--
- Ah, if you're finished Frank...
- Ch sure.
- We'll take this down to the lab
and maybe they'll find something.
- L feel so vulnerable,
you know, knowing that he
could come in any time.
- Excuse me but you don't
really know it was him.
Oh we'll report it and all
but there's no proof of any felony.
- What kind of proof do you want?
Me lying on the floor?
- Take it easy, suppose we
let Miss Dane get some rest.
- Hey lieutenant, what's up.
- Good morning Dave.
- Well I saw the car
downstairs, Lou filled me in.
- You seem to keep show
business hours lieutenant
even on your day off.
- You lock like you could use a drink.
- You have a kid Dave.
They don't make them like
this anymore do they?
- Mouldy isn't it?
- What does it mean?
- Well it must mean something
to whoever left it here.
- Well we'll see you again Miss Dane.
- Goodnight Miss Dane.
- Goodnight.
- I thought you might have a lead Dave.
When Miss Dane called
tonight she asked for you.
- Oh?
- She was under the impression
that the squad was handling
the telephone calls.
- I'm handling it personally.
- Okay Dave, see you later.
- Goodnight.
- I'm kind of tired lieutenant.
- Oh now don't be funny please.
You look like you're
ready to climb the walls.
I'm gonna fix you a drink
and I want you o tell me
all about that phone call
and see that you get that drink down.
Ah here's the booze.
Old doc Madden's magic elixir.
- L could almost believe you.
Make yourself one.
- Oh I'm way ahead of you.
- Well, I guess I might as well go change.
- Technically I'm off duty right?
So why not I say?
- What?
L can't hear you.
- L say nostrovia!
- Oh.
- Who bought this stuff?
You?
- No it was here when I moved in.
Why?
- Well it says on the bottle
brewed by the house of Borgia.
Oh wait a minute there's some small print.
For external use only.
- Oh well it sounds pretty good to me.
- Well coming right up.
- Oh make mine with water.
- Haven't you had enough
chlorine for one day?
Ah but you've had enough day for one day.
Running around the way
you do, is it worth it?
Grabbing coffee and a hamburger,
what kind of lunch is that?
- L had a steak for lunch.
- Ch some steak, lady
you're no 10 year old,
you need your energy.
In and out of theatres and to top it off
spending a whole hour making
like Johnny Wisemiller.
Correction Ester Williams.
I'm sorry, 'l wait in the other room.
Here's your drink.
- Oh no thank you.
Look, I'm feeling very tired,
would you mind going please?
- What's the matter with you?
- Nothing, I, I just gota
little startled when you came
to the door.
- What's going on in that head of yours?
- L told you I'm just a little tired.
- You think because I
have a drink with you
I'm gonna wrestle you around the room.
Every scrawny broad thinks
she's the only entrusted with
the crown jewels and that
she'll die if she lose them.
Not that you're so scrawny.
And you're not a broad either are you?
- Stay away from me.
- L think you're flipping--
- I'll kill you if you come near me.
- What's the matter--
- Don't touch me!
Don't you dare touch me!
All your talk about perversions.
[t was yourself you were talking about.
Get outta here!
- Nora!
- Get outta here!
L don't care what your problem is
and I don't care if you are sick
to me you're an animal, you
with a wife and a child at home
you're & dirty, disgusting animal!
- Animal?
- Leave me alone!
- Animal? Animal?
Don't you put me in their class, not me!
Do you like to go to the movies?
Well three years ago my
wife went to a movie,
it was just down the
block from where we lived.
She never came home.
They found her the next
morning just before day break,
she was behind a staircase
in the basement of an old building.
She'd been raped, mutilated,
horribly mutilated.
They told me he'd done
that after she was dead.
If 1 could only believe that.
Well they never found him,
at least no one who ever admitted to it.
- I'm sorry.
- So I could tell you
anything you wanna know
about perverts and degenerates.
I've gone 10 steps
beyond any psychiatrist.
I've catalogued the
condition of their teeth
and the type of soap
they use when they shave
and it's paid off, believe
me it's paid off good.
The only record I don't have
is how many of 'em I've sent away.
{phone ringing)
Answer t.
Answer it and if it's him don't hang up
no matter what he says.
Do you understand?
Do it and make a date with him.
{phone ringing)
- Hello?
Yes well I, 1 was on edge then.
Yes, yes, I'm, I'm very
much more relaxed now.
But I don't understand you,
I still can't hear you.
Hello?
He hung up.
{phone clicking)
- Lou, Dave Madden.
Did you get it?
Good.
- He started off the way he usually does
and then, I don't know,
something must've happened,
he started shouting and...
I couldn't make out what he said.
- It's alright we have the tape.
Look I wanna speak frankly,
believe me I don't wanna frighten you.
There was a case in Utah
about six months ago,
a similar pattern.
I'm afraid he's not gonna be satisfied
with the telephone anymore.
- Whatever you say.
- Well tomorrow see if you can
get someone to stay with you.
At least a week to make sure.
- Well what happens tonight?
- The easiest would be my place.
- Easy for who?
- You said you were tired.
- You know, there's
somethings a girl prefers
to pick out herself.
And high on the list,
right underneath lipstick,
is a bed partner and
it's not really funny.
- Well tell me does my
10 year old daughter
get to make the same choice?
{gentle music)
- I'll get my toothbrush.
{gentle music)
- Hey do you always keep this shade up?
Well who's gonna see me?
A peeping brick?
(suspenseful music}
- I wonder what set him off?
(suspenseful music}
{match strikes)
- You ready?
You wanna see?
L put it on all by myself.
Oh Lar, Lar it's a beautifully,
gorgeous birthday present

You know something?
L feel very relaxed here.

- Oh, you are a liar lieutenant.
- Dave.
- You're still a liar Dave.
- Pam.
Yes daddy?
- Ch no, no don't put her on the spot.
Okay, I'll come with you.
- Never mind honey.
The answer is yes, she knows all about it
and no it doesn't bother her, okay?
- Look you don't have to
defend yourself to me.
- I old you once, no one is invulnerable.
- One day she's gonna go on a date
and when he brings her home
he'll want to kiss her goodnight
what do you suppose will happen?
Oh I'm sorry Dave but a
child's life is being free,
living in a world of sunshine.
- Do you wanna hear it?
Catalogue A17 Nora Dane actress.
Telephone calls--
- Alright, maybe I am scared now
but not when I was eight
and not when I was 18
and even now, in spite of this,
I'm not gonna shut out the world,
I'm not gonna be forced to become
something that has to
run and hide in comers.
Not by him and not by you.
- Nora, would you come to the
zoo with us this afternoon?
{rooster crows)

She says that I'm pretty.

- Hmm, I noticed.
I haven't had a chance
to check on those yet.
Did you get the key?
- L was just gonna ask you.
- Oh it's in an envelope
in your middle drawer.
Why don't we go home together?
- It suits me.
We could share a cab.
- Are you sure you don't mind waiting?
Closing sometimes takes forever.
- What do you mean mind?
I'm very grateful that
you're coming along.
- Don't be silly.
See what you can do about that music
or we won't last until closing.
I've seen dead nights in this joint
but this is ridiculous.
- Oh Marian why don't you use my robe?
- Ch don't be silly,
you'll freeze to death.
I'll wear your coat, I dig fur anyway.
You know when I was a kid I used to cry
because the blanket was too rough.
L used to cry like the devil
and beg my mom to buy me a fur blanket
are you ready for that?
{laughing}
I dig soft things, don't you?
- Mmhmm.
{gentle music)
- Can't trace a few crank calls.
How about those cops?
Well he hangs up too soon.
- Funny thing.
Cop can see through a wall,
tap your phone with an old razor blade
but he can't figure out a
way to rap a stupid moron.
- Well it, it could be a
technical problem after...
After all there are a lot
of telephones in the city.
- Baloney.
You know what I think?
L think there's a little bit
of this jerk in every guy
including the cops,
maybe they've all got a guilty conscience.
{phone ringing)
Now let me get that.
- No! Wait!
- He doesn't scare me.
- Let it go.
{phone ringing)
- Nora, maybe it's a wrong number.
- It doesn't matter.
{phone ringing)
Just stay with me please.
Where I can see you.
{phone ringing)
I'm gonna die Marian, he's
gonna kill me I just know it.
{sobbing)
- Don't talk like that baby, don't.
- I'm so tired of running
and wondering how and
when it's gonna happen.
- Look stop it!
Now stop it!
- 1 don't know what he wants.
1 don't know why he would want to kill me.
L keep imagining all kinds
of terrible things.
- Oh come on, come on, that's it,
let it out honey get rid of it.
Oh baby shh, that's right.
That's a baby, that's a good baby.
{sobbing)
Come on let it all out.
It won't do you any good
inside, come on let it all out.
It just make you sick.
Put your arms around me
and cry Nora, go ahead.
That's a baby.
Just a sweet baby, that's a good baby.
That's a sweet baby.
That's a good baby.
That's my baby.
Come on, let it go.
Come on, I wouldn't let anybody hurt you.
No body's gonna do a thing
to you while I'm ar--
What's that?
What's the matter?
Something wrong Nora?
- No, nothing, nothing.
L just felt...
Oh it was nothing.
- You can tell me Nora,
you can tell me anything.
- Look Marian l...
Get outta here please.
- I don't get it sweetie.
- Look I maybe wrong and
if I am Il apologise
but I think it'd be much better
if you just go right now.
- Yeah but I don't under...
I don't understand.
- Get out of here please.
- Look doll baby I think there's something
the matter with you, I think you're sick.
L think those telephone voices of yours
maybe they don't exist, maybe
you drummed that up too.
L went out of my way to be nice to you.
- Maybe too nice.
- You're all wrong baby.
- If Lam [apologise.
- Ch yeah?
I'll look forward to it.
(door slams}
(suspenseful music}
- Nora watt}
(suspenseful music}
Nora wait!
Nora wait!
(suspenseful music}
(suspenseful music}
- You said we'd never be
seeing you again Adler.
- L meant it lieutenant.
I mean tell me they pick
me up for something?
L got caught doing something?
No.
Something about a stocking right?
Some guy did it to a woman
and ripped off her stockings right?
So get Adler, everybody
knows Adler likes stockings.
Get Adler!
- How are things in Green Paint Sutter?
- Hey this is a big mistake.
I'm not a stocking man,
maybe him but not me.
You should know that lieutenant.
- L know.
Dresses and hats right Sutter?
Silk dresses and big fruity hats right?
- Right.
- Sure I knew that.
- Then why'd you make them
pick me up for stockings?
- Because I thought maybe
you'd changed your diet.
Yeah it's a
big joke to you right?
Well who do we hurt
with our special likes?
- Where do you think we got your address?
In the phone book?
Do you remember Wood Haven?
- Oh well, millions of women in the city
why do you suppose we choose this one
and not that one?
Because we can tell that's why.
Like a cat or a dog, we can tell.
- Shut up Adler.
- These broads are looking for it.
But they gotta blame somebody right?
Gotta yell rape.
Rape! Rape! Rape!
That way they stay clean right?
That way they get it and they stay clean.
- Put'em on ice.
- Dave, this belongs to homicide not us.
- So we save them the trouble.
Go on hook 'em.
- On what charge?
- New York penal law,
article 16 section 197.
- Davy I can't do that.
- No dangerous animal permitted
to roam the city streets.
- I guess you know they've
been sending weekly sheets
on you downtown.
- Yeah I heard.
- Can't you see?
That junk you got in your apartment,
did it help you in anyway?
Or did it just help a 10 year old kid
talk like a vice squad detective?
Dave you're aver the
line, you've gone over.
- What do you mean?
- You've joined them.
- Who?
The animals?
- We're all animals Dave.
The line I mean divides
the sick from the well.
(door slams}
- Lar?
{water splashing)
- Hit
- Hiya.
- Ch boy.
Here you wanna use it?
- Thanks.
I didn't know that you came here.
- Oh, well I work out in the gym upstairs.
- I think everybody should work out.
You have a very nice body.
- Well I like to work out.
- L don't like it when men
let themselves get fat.
It's nice around here
without anybody isn't it?
- Well actually you know it
doesn't get crowded until
about 5:30, that's when
everybody's off from work.
- Uh huh.
You gonna go to work tonight?
- Well I don't know, I guess I'd better.
What about you, you think you might go?
- Probably.
How's your sister?
- Oh she's fine.
- She's very sweet.
How old is she?
- Huh?
- How old is she?
- She's 19.
- L remember when I was 19,
that's when I decided I was
gonna take the world by storm
and become a big star.
I used to have to travel up
and down to New York everyday
and started off by
taking acting lessons...
And then at the first
audition I went to they said
do you sing?
So then I started taking singing lessons
and then another audition
they said oh that's fine
but do you dance?
The guys said to me oh
we like everything you do
but you're just not the right type.
Lawrence?
Hey you haven't listened to a
word I've been saying to you.
Come on let's go swim huh?
{water splashing)
- I'll help Miss Nielsen with the dishes.
- Good girl.
L oughta slug you.
You weren't supposed
to leave the apartment.
- Well I had to get out.
You know I was thinking Dave,
if I hadn't sent Marian out last night--
- Oh now stop it, come on.
Now how are you gonna get
home after work tonight huh?
- Wells Fargo is sending
an armoured truck.
- Oh I'm laughing.
- Oh come on now.
You know if he was really out to get me
he's had a million chances.
- Yeah.
- 'L get Michelle to take me home okay?
- Okay and call me as socon
as you get to the club.
- L just wish you wouldn't worry so much.
Especially about me.
- Look I don't give a
damn what happens to you.
- Yeah, I know.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Well how'd
he sound as if he knew you?
In
a strange sort of a way,
he was familiar.
Did he use your name?
The words threw me
and beyond that I can't remember.
- Night Sam.
- Business as usual tonight.
- Better than usual.
- L guess we're gonna have
to look for some other jobs.
Oh Nora.
- Hmm?
- Would you like a cigarette?
- No, no thank you.
Are you gonna go back to teaching dance?
- No thanks.
Anyway Marian only worked for the owners,
1 don't think they'll close the club.
- Well that's good.
That's good cause I like it here.
- L bet you do.
Watching all those young chicks.
Don't think I haven't
noticed you and Michelle.
- Maybe him, not me, no.
- Oh, well now there's
nothing wrong with it,
I mean 'm not putting it down.
Don't think I haven't envied
those sleek young blonds.
- Oh no, no you're too busy.
I mean, well you don't
get a chance to see them.
The way they move, all the time
the way they're moving if's...
It's very suggestive.
- Well so's walking if you think of it.
- But have you seen their faces?
No they're cold and they're
without any emotion at all.
- Oh come now, what do
you suppose you look like
when you're dancing?
What goes through your mind?
{laughs)
- No, I don't dance I told you that.
No, no I don't dance, not like that.
- Give me your coat.
Come on, come on.
- Ready pussy cat?
- Oh do you have 15 minutes?
- Darling tonight's
Monday, not even 5 minutes.
- Oh well then you go
on, I'll go home alone.
- If you're sure, goodnight.
- Goodnight.
{upbeat music}
Come on it's easy, all you
have to do is shake your hips
from side to side, try it.
One, two, one, two.
There you go.
Miss Nielsen can
I have a glass of water?
- Miss Nielsen?
Called
once but hung up right away.
He hung up?
Why did he hang up?
Because,
1 think he thought I was
somebody else.
Did he
continue to use foul language
in the second phone call?
- Look daddy I can see you in the mirror.
To be very nice
so I would listen to him.
You're
a widow Mrs. Goran.
I mean do you go with
anyone in particular?
Do you have a boyfriend?
No.

Wait a minute.
(suspenseful music}
