In the Shadow Page #2

over this afternoon.

God bless you.

Brov was here today.

She brought some cognac,

saying you arranged

a tenant for her.

- And that you have a...

- Heart of gold.

Who is that?

A German cop. He was

sent to our department.

- Why?

- I'm gonna kill Beno.

Yeah, he brought him over.

Jackass.

"Get the harpoon,"

cried the Canadian.

Captain Nemo stopped and took

one more look out the porthole,

beyond which the form of the

monstrous creature was writhing.

The Nautilus pitched

from side to side,

caught up in the enormous

tentacles of the sea monster.

At that moment I knew that only

he could defeat the monster.

He sealed his diving suit and

disappeared into the pressure chamber.

Then he brushed his teeth

and went to sleep.

- It doesn't say that.

- It does! -It doesn't.

Why not? -He couldn't brush

his teeth in a diving suit.

You're a better

detective than me.

- Good night.

- Good night.

JEWELRY CASE SOLVED

- What's going on, Jarda?

- What do you mean?

You sleep in the armchair.

You don't talk.

When I touch you it bothers you. You

don't find me attractive anymore.

Jitka...

Come now.

Jitka.

- What is it?

- Someone's out there!

Stay here.

- Don't you know what time it is?

- You said to tell you immediately.

Go on then. -Janata lives with some

whore by the research institute.

- He feeds the dogs there.

- Now you're clean.

Sorry but this is important.

Asta!

What do you want?

Police. I'm looking for Janata.

- I don't know him.

- I heard he's looking after the dogs.

Like hell he is. He took

everything from me and left!

- So he doesn't live here anymore?

- You heard me, didn't you?!

- Have you reported the theft?

- Who would care? -Me.

I'm listening.

I don't want to report anything. I hope

it all rots in his pocket, the bastard.

I'm glad he's gone.

The dogs didn't like him either.

- How long did he live here?

- Since the coup in '48.

His old lady threw him out.

- Was he working here?

- No. He got everything from me.

- Do you shave often?

- He left it here.

Janata's in big trouble.

I can help him.

But I guess you really don't care

what happens to him anymore.

They came for him.

Who?

- I don't know.

- Were they wearing uniforms? -No.

- Where is he now?

- He never told me anything.

I found this.

He was always scared of guns.

OTTOVA STREE:

Don't move! Hands up!

- Let's go. Go on!

- Get the f*** inside! Go!

- Where's the money?

- Over there.

You get your hands up.

- Hands up!

- Move goddamit! -Ok.

- What are you doing?!

- They won't notice a goddamn thing.

Cut it out for f***'s sake!

"Telephone Book."

Hands up! Police!

Comrade Captain.

Who called you?

There are four dead... a driver, a

postal worker, a security guard

and Vilm Foll, known

as The Butcher.

- State Security will secure the room.

- Why? This is a police matter.

Major Zenke and Lieutenant

Benovsky are police.

Have you found anything

that might be of help?

Did I have enough time?

The Red Times!

Edmund Hillary Nears

World's Highest Mountain!

New Soviet Harvester

Outclasses All Others!

U. S. Pays Its

Israeli Murderers!

The Red Times!

I got a call from Chief of Security.

He screamed at me for half an hour.

He wanted me to suspend

you immediately.

Bare made an official complaint

about you interfering in

a State Security case.

We had an agreement you and I.

And you got caught.

- What were you doing there anyway?

- Investigating. -Did you find anything?

I didn't have time. They

arrived right after I did.

I'm supposed to be promoted

in two weeks, so be careful.

Come in.

Am I interrupting?

No, come in.

I need something

from you, Vt'a.

Where did you find that?

In a telephone book.

- Do you have authorization? -No.

- Then I can't take it from you.

So I'm authorizing it. It's important.

I need it fast.

Stop by tomorrow.

Hi dad!

Hi Tom.

Good evening.

In a week you won't even see it.

Did you know Mr Zenke can

juggle a football 25 times?

That's a lot. How long

did you play together?

Not too long. He showed

up just before you.

- Lay down and go to sleep.

- We're not going to read tonight?

- It's late. Good night, Tom.

- Good night.

- Do you know he practices every evening?

- Everybody here knows that.

- Are you looking for something?

- Aspirin.

- Why?

- I have a headache.

You never have headaches.

Thanks.

- Is that blood?

- I fell on the stairs.

- Wait. Let me see.

- It's nothing. -Nothing?

It needs stitches. You should

go to the doctor. -I'm fine.

- Is something going on?

- No. -Should I be afraid?

Jarda, you know you can

tell me the truth.

It's complicated.

- You're impossible.

- Terrible.

Terrible.

- Now I'm not scared anymore.

- That's good.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Here you are.

- What's in the back?

- A collection for the Vienna diaspora.

Here's the permit from

the Jewish Community.

Pull over and turn

off the engine.

Get out.

You can't do this!

It's all registered!

In the name of the people of

the Czechoslovak Republic

you're under arrest for

attempted murder, robbery

and attempt to smuggle money

over the Czechoslovak border.

Let's go.

You did a great job, major.

Congratulations.

We have a request from Moscow

that you testify in court.

It was never part of our agreement

that I would testify in court.

I was asked to prepare materials for the

prosecution, and that's what I did.

Of course.

I've carried out my mission.

You should reconsider.

I have absolutely

nothing to recon...

We will decide when

your mission is over.

One word and tomorrow you'll find

yourself on a train to Moscow!

- Hide that.

- You know what it is?

I've forgotten. And you

better forget as well.

- CZ 52, 7 calibre, Tokarev 62.

- So?

Only State Security

carries this kind of gun.

- How many are registered?

- Twenty, twenty-five.

Could you find out who

this bullet belongs to?

- I could but it would be complicated.

- Do it.

They've fired half the

people in the building.

Everyone's afraid,

and you want me to search

State Security files?

I'm looking for a murderer.

I don't care who he is.

Sorry.

Give it to me. I'm not

promising anything.

Can I help you?

No, thank you. I have

to learn how to do it.

I like your piano playing.

Thank you. I haven't

played for a long time.

Why not?

That's a pity. You

play wonderfully.

I never had the patience.

That's a pity.

Sometimes patience pays off.

- Now can I help?

- Yes, gladly.

- Hi, Eva.

- Hi.

Age 45, 170 cm, ginger hair.

No women.

Just this guy they

brought in yesterday.

Yesterday? May I?

- Hi daddy. -Hi.

- I've almost got it down pat.

- And your homework? Is it done?

- No.

- Get moving then.

- Just a little longer.

Be home by 7. It's

raining anyway.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Did you see the doctor?

- It doesn't hurt anymore.

- This is all we had in the bank.

- You withdrew everything we had?

We're buying a painting. By Slavcek.

I've already booked it.

There's the number for the gallery owner.
