Black Christmas Page #4

Let's get one thing straight.

You are not going to

abort that baby.

Peter, you're not going to tell me

what I can and cannot do.

- Jess, if you try getting an abortion--

- I think you better leave.

- If you are trying to get an abortion--

- I said get out.

You get to be very sorry.

Hi, Peter.

I'll get Jess.

- Jess, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Any more news?

No, but there are some people here

to see about the phone calls.

- Jess, this is Lieutenant Fuller.

- I'm sorry.

And Graham, Bill Graham.

- Uh, you leave present phone station within?

- Yes.

I would like to put a tap on your phone,

but I need your written permission

to do that. Is that okay with you?

Okay.

Okay, Grahdy, go ahead!

I'd like to see Clare Harrison room.

Where is the telephone?

There's one in the living room

and one here in the hallway.

Clare's room is up here.

- How many girls live in this house?

- Ten.

Hello, this is lineman Graham, at 6 Belmont Street,

I'm working line 5596114.

Great!

This afternoon, I got a call from a woman

and I thought it was a wrong number.

But then she started

screaming at me.

Who was the last one here to

see Miss Harrison?

- I think I was.

- When? Approximate!

Last night, about 10:30.

- Is this the way she left her room as far as you know?

- Yes.

- What's this?

- We're having a party last night.

- She drink a lot?

- No, hardly at all!

Does she have any emotional problems,

anything like that?

No, not Clare!

Who is she seeing besides

Chris Hayden?

- With no one.

- You sure of that?

So, you're the last one who see her

sometimes this morning?

- Last night.

- Right, last night.

Has anyone seen her this morning?

- No?

- I didn't.

All the others girls are gone

for the holidays.

Can I get a list of their phone numbers where I can reach them?

Sure!

There is one in Mrs. Mac's room.

- Who is Mrs. Mac?

- She's our house mother.

- Is there anyone in the house right now?

- Yes, another girl, Barbara Coard.

She is upstairs asleep.

She is not feeling too well.

- Is she the one that was at the station today?

- Yeah.

Yeah, well! Let her sleep.

Were there any deliveries yesterday, or was

anyone working in the house, anything like that?

No, I don't think so.

Mrs. Mac would know.

- Is all the sisters number on this list?

- Yes.

Grah, how is it going?

About finish?

Yeah, what I've done is I've tapped

this phone so that when it rings,

it will rings at the station now, too.

At the same time, I'll be at the phone company

checking out on the location of the source of the call.

Are there any other phones

in the house?

- Yes, the house mother has another one.

- Yeah, but it's on another number,

and nobody is calling.

You're gonna have to keep this guy on

the line as long as possible.

We got a mechanical system here and

it takes a while.

I know it's not very pleasant.

Uh, girls, can I show you something?

- See the car outside?

- Yeah.

We got one of our men in it, so you

got nothing to worry about.

Yeah, sure!

I'll get to say,

I just know Clare is dead.

I can just feel it.

Come on now, Phil,

we don't know that.

Poor Mr. Harrison,

I feel so sorry for him.

Hey, hey!

- How's Chris?

- Oh, he's okay, you know Chris.

I'm sorry, Jess.

I guess I'm just exhausted.

I've been taking these pills for my cold

and they knock me out.

Will you be okay

if I go up to bed?

Yes, of course.

- Are you sure?

- Yes, go up and get some rest.

- Call me if there is any news.

- I will.

Thanks.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Yeah, everything clear on you in jack.

Okay. Sure! Uh, yeah.

Now look, I'm gonna need

about 10 more minutes.

Now be sure you tell those people again,

they got to keep this guy on the line.

Right.

So there ain't more attack

in the last two days.

If we settle, we'll look into that.

Thank you very much.

Graham's dealing with

switching station.

When a phone rings at the house there,

this phone ring too.

Kind of admitted to that ready move, so we won't take anything off auditorium this time.

Great, thanks.

- Lieutenant, someone from Scarborough.

- Okay.

Anything at 4:
05?

Barb, what's the matter?

Easy, relax,

you'll be okay.

It's okay.

I guess...

I guess... I had a nightmare.

I dreamed a stranger,

come into my room.

I guess this is why it

gave me asthma, huh?

Don't take it too serious,

it's just a kind of dream.

You should feel a lot better.

Jess, you go in my room.

- What's going on?

- Please, just get them into the car!

- Okay, kids, let's go.

- Come along children, hurry.

Miss, miss!

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

There was a little girl murdered over

in the park tonight.

Yes, I heard it.

Your phone's ringing.

44 versus 350, come on.

- Oh yes, excuse me. Good night.

- Certainly. Good night.

Testing.

Bill Graham.

Trace call coming in on Phone 9.

Hello?

Hello?

Who's there?

- No, Billy, no!

- Sh*t!

- Today.

- No, Billy!

- Today!

- No, Billy!

- Today!

- No way!

What your mother and I must know, huh?

You know that?

Just my caring, no ward, Velum.

Oh, my God!

Hello?

Jess, we didn't get him.

There wasn't enough time.

You'll have to keep him on the line longer.

Oh, I see!

When you said:
"Oh, my God,"

did you recognize something?

No, I just feel like

it's getting to me.

When he called before, did he used

more than one voice like this?

Yes, yes, he did.

He used several different voices.

Jess, I'm gonna ask you, who was the guy that

was just leaving when I arrived in your house?

- My boyfriend, Peter.

- You have everything fine?

MAN:

What a goddamn a**hole!

Jess, I'll have to call you back in a little while.

Are you alright?

I'll call you back in a little while and

we'll go get him next time.

- Bernie!

- Yup?

- Call a doctor.

MAN:

I don't let no son of a b*tch...

...trespass on my land

in the middle of the night!

- I don't care what kind of uniform he wear!

- What the hell...

- ...is going on here?

- He fired on a police officer.

You goddamn right! I'll do it again too!

The bastard was trespassing!

How do we get an ass for the verge, Sarg.

Yeah, I' gonna make the son of the b*tch

pick everyone of the mother in chief.

The next time, you're

gonna get the gut of your ass

Tommy boy!

If knew that, we can not burst in

the boycott, I swear!

If you think it was Peter, then why

don't you just tell the police?

Well, because I'm

not really sure.

Well, he should be stopped.
