I warn you.

Hello? Hello, Dr. Judd?

Dr. Judd?

I think Irena just came in.

He hung up on me.

Come on.

We'll get a taxi.

You're late, aren't you?

I kept my appointment.

You see, I've never believed your story.

I am not afraid of you.

I take you in my arms.

So little, so soft.

This warm perfume in your hair.

Your body.

Don't be afraid of me, Irena.

He's dead.

Mr. Reed. Oh, Mr. Reed.

Oh, don't worry, Mr. Reed.

Sue Ellen and I phoned the police

just as soon as we heard the racket.

Thank you.

Sue Ellen, you know better than that.

You're not supposed to touch anything

until the police get here.

The sword cane.

- Broken. Half of it's gone.

We've got to find her. Come on.

She never lied to us.
