:57:01
- That just about does it for him.
- Looks very much like it.
:57:05
I've never run into any of these
jokers before. What are they like?
:57:10
Oh, they vary, but not a lot.
:57:12
The thing to remember is they hate
women, and are mostly impotent.
:57:15
- Impotent?
- Don't mistake rape for potency.
:57:21
In the latter stage of the disease,
:57:22
it's the strangling, not the sex,
that brings them on.
:57:26
Above all, of course, they're sadists.
:57:28
- You know what they are, I'm sure.
- Oh, yes, sir.
:57:31
If you don't, read all about it in here:
Mrs Blaney's divorce petition.
:57:35
It tells you a great deal
about the habits of our hero.
:57:37
(Phone Ringing)
:57:39
Yeah?
:57:41
Right. Put him on.
Yes, Chief Inspector Oxford speaking.
:57:45
My name is Forsythe, Inspector. Felix Forsythe.
:57:49
I run the Globe Public House, Covent Garden.
:57:51
I see from the newspaper you're
in charge of these strangling cases.
:57:55
Yes, that is so.
:57:56
Good, because I've got
some information to impart.
:57:59
Now, this man you're looking for,
the one with the patches on his suit.
:58:04
I know him. He worked here as a barman.
:58:07
His name is Richard Blaney.
He's a right bastard.
:58:10
Are you quite certain it's the same man?
:58:15
Gone off with your barmaid?
What exactly do you mean by gone off?
:58:18
She's been out all night with him
and hasn't yet returned.
:58:20
I felt it my duty to tell you that
I consider her to be in great danger.
:58:24
That is, of course,
if she's still alive and kicking.
:58:26
Thank you for your information, Mr Forsythe.
:58:28
Tell me, what does this
barmaid of yours look like?
:58:37
I can set your mind at rest.
She was alive at 8:00 this morning.
:58:41
8:00 this morning?
:58:43
Well, where is she now? We opened at 1 1 :00!
:58:46
But is she coming back here or not?
She's left all her clothes!
:58:50
I expect she'll turn up.
:58:52
Today, ladies abandon their honour
more readily than their clothes.
:58:55
Thank you for your information,
Mr Forsythe. I'll send someone over.
:58:59
That was Forsythe, manager of
the Globe Pub, Covent Garden.
