Dressed to Kill Page #4

That's what the police are for.

Come on, let's talk to Marino.

Fine, you talk to Marino.

I'm going to find out the Blonde's name

Who do you think you are, Superman?

You're just a kid for God's sake.

Yeah, I'm the kid that saved your life.

Alright, so... uh... look,

let me talk to Marino.

If he cops out, then I'll help you.

Okay. You can't, can't mention my name.

Mike would kill me.

I'm supposed to be uh... buh...

studying for a French exam.

Well, your friend's covering for

you tonight, right?

Well, I'm your friend too and

I'll be the best cover you ever had.

Okay.

Well, you sure, you gonna be okay, here?

Fine.

Here you go... Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Hey Marino, I gotta talk to you.

Did your Out of Town turn up?

No.

Then you better send for

your overnight bags.

Hey come on,

you know I didn't kill that woman.

You're still my best bet.

For your information, she tried

to kill me last night.

Really?

Is that supposed to be concern

in your voice?

Hey, I take a professional interest in

our citizens knocking each other off.

Uh, where did this happen?

She followed me from

the Sheraton into the subway.

I thought I lost her there but she was

waiting for me when I got home.

She tried to slash me...

Any witnesses to this one?

Yes.

Who?

I can't tell you.

Out of town again?

No, I just promised.

I wouldn't say anything.

You know,

this has a familiar ring to it.

Look Marino, I'm not interested

in your wise ass remarks.

Someone's trying to kill me

and I need help.

I'll help you. I got a nice cell.

You'll be very safe in it.

Rey Eddie...

Hey wait a minute. Look, I know the

murderer is one of Elliott's patients.

How do you know that.

Because she came out of his office.

Did you see her?

Well no, not exactly.

But I know she came out.

You gotta get in there,

get his appointment book,

her name's gotta be in it.

I hope you make a better hooker

than you do a detective.

I thought about Elliott's

appointment book a long time ago.

So?

So, you can't just walk in to

some Shrink's joint

and start going through his books.

You need a search warrant.

And judges take a long time

before they let you start snooping

around some Shrink's office.

Course, uh, that wouldn't prevent

a paranoid murder suspect

from uh... breaking in.

You know, uh, searching for

some evidence to defend her case.

Yeah, well I get it.

You want me to break in for you.

Hey, I don't want you to

do anything illegal.

You can quote me on that.

But I'm booking you tomorrow.

You go it? Tomorrow.

I'm Dr. Levy.

How do you do? I'm Dr. Elliott.

What can I do for you, Dr. Elliott?

You're seeing a patient of mine.

That's right.

I believe she's dangerous.

Really. In what way?

She's causing me trouble

because I wouldn't approve

her sex change operation.

What kind of trouble has she caused you

She's threatened me several times

over the phone.

She also stole my razor.

Why would she do that?

Doctor, did you read about the woman

that was slashed to death in

an elevator?

It was on the front page,

I could hardly miss...

Kate Miller, the victim, was my patient

You don't think that Bobbi had

anything to do with that?

My razor's gone Kate Miller

was killed with a razor.

Nobody else could have taken it?

Doctor, I am not paranoid.

Bobbi has threatened me over the phone.

She said she was going to hurt me.

My patient was slashed to death

and my razor's gone.

Now you don't have to be a detective

to figure it out, do you?

Come with me and uh,

we'll talk to the police.

I've already been to the police.

But I didn't tell them about Bobbi.

I wanted to talk to her first.

I wanted to be absolutely sure

that it was her.

But she wouldn't return my calls.

I was hoping you'd be able to help.

Um, yes. I'll help. I'll talk to her.

If I agree with your diagnosis...

We'll go to the police.

Thank you.

Please let me know what happens.

Do you know why Bobbi came to see me

in the first place?

No.

Why don't we go to my office and...

We'll try to get in touch with her,

Hmmmm?

Oh I'm late for an appointment now.

Why don't you call me at my office

when you're reached her.

All right.

You sure, you'll be at your office?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'll call you there.

Uh, Peter Miller,

I left some super 8 film.

There's four dollars there.

I timed Elliott's patients coming

out of his office.

The fastest was 8 seconds.

So I set my camera to go off

every 2 seconds

so I'd be sure to get a good

about of everybody.

That's her.

She must be his last appointment.

We gotta get a look in that book.

Yeah, I know. Marino wants it too,

only I can get it for him faster.

No legal red tape just my ass.

Aw, look I'll get it.

I mean nobody cares about my ass, right?

I'm just a grief struck kid.

Yeah, but what a kid!

Okay, I got an idea.

It was very nice of you to see me.

It was nice of you to see me so soon.

I try to keep my nights open for

returning phone calls

or in case a patient

needs some extra help.

I was worried about you.

You've had a terrible experience.

I know. I didn't realize it, but I've

been having these terrible nightmares.

Oh... what were they about?

Well... I have to get a cigarette.

In this house that I've never been to

before... visiting a friend.

He's not there...

I'm watching T.V.

And the doorbell rings...

it's a man... he's big... dark...

he says his car broke down

and he needs to use the phone...

I believe him... and let him in...

although,

I know something's wrong...

He closes the door...

Locks it and takes out a razor.

He says he's not gonna hurt me...

then he tells me

what he's gonna do to me...

And how much I'm gonna like it...

all the time he's talking...

I can see the bulge in his pants

He orders me to strip... I do it...

Keeping one eye on the razor...

He drops his pants...

He forces me down on my stomach...

He kneels down behind me...

and rests the cold blade...

Forcing it... I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

It's just so dirty.

Why do you say that?

Look, I know what dirty is

and this is dirty.

Well, why don't you just talk about it?

I'm sure it's not so bad as you think.

It's very bad, and you're talking to

an expert on bad.

Oh really?

Now what makes you such an expert?

Cause, I'm a hooker.

Ah...

And I've done most of the bad things,

you just read about.

Do you like doing these things?

Sometimes.

What do you like about it?

I like to turn men on.

I must do a pretty good job,

because they pay me a lot.

Do you ever have any sex

that's not paid for?

Is that a proposal?

No...

It's what we psychiatrists call...

questions.

Yes.

Yes what?

Yes, I do... from men that turn me on.

What sort of men turn you on?

Mature, doctorly type... like you.

Are you sexually attracted to me?

Yes, are you?

Attracted to you?

Mmmmhmmm.

Yes.

But then, this isn't a social visit,

is it?

You've come here for help

and my job is to

offer you emotional assistance.
