La mano de un hombre muerto Page #5

---

I promise.

Do you remember

the day you got here?

- I do.

- Were you with your fianc?

- I was.

- After a rather long journey.

About 180 miles.

What I'm going to ask you

is of the utmost importance.

Did you travel all night?

No, he came to pick me up

at 5:
30 in the morning, I think.

We left in a big hurry.

I was scared and I asked him

to slow down a bit.

I was afraid of an accident.

This is Ludwig's first statement.

Read it.

"Where did you spend the night?"

"I came to pick up my fiance

at 10:
00.

We had eaten dinner

and gone dancing before the trip. "

"How far did you have to go?"

"About 180 miles.

We arrived at five past 7:00.

I drove very slow because

my fiance is afraid of high speeds. "

- Do you understand?

- It can't be true!

It is. He's the killer,

I'm sure of it.

- No, that's impossible!

- Control yourself. Stay calm.

Try hard to remember.

When he came to pick you up,

how did he act?

He seemed tired and nervous.

Listen:
This is very important.

Have you noticed Ludwig

acting very strange lately?

Yes. He spends whole days

locked in that cellar.

It was his grandfather's workshop.

It was closed for years.

He's the only one who has a key.

I don't know what he does

locked up in there.

He'll drive himself mad.

Have you ever gone inside?

No, he never let me.

Karine, you've got to help me.

I must see that cellar.

- But how?

- I need proof.

You've got to get him

out of the cellar.

Ask him to take you dancing

at the Kanburg Hotel.

Be very affectionate.

Don't be afraid of him.

In the meantime,

I'll get into the cellar.

If Ludwig is the killer...

I know I'll find the proof there.

Very well.

Tell me what I have to do.

Call the commissioner in Holfen.

He should be at home.

Tell him to send all his men to the swamps

if he wants to catch the killer.

Commissioner, Mr. Von Klaus says

to go to the swamps right away.

That's where the killer is!

Why did you bring me here?

We'll go to the Kanburg afterwards.

I like to visit the spot

where my poor grandfather died that night.

Let's get out of here, Ludwig.

I don't like this place.

- But you don't know it.

- Ludwig, please, come on.

Take me to the hotel.

If we go to the Kanburg,

it will all be over.

When that stupid journalist finds

what he's looking for...

I'll be arrested.

What is there to find out?

This is the realm

of peaceful silence and death.

Ludwig, you're scaring me.

Let's go, please!

I love you, Ludwig.

Ludwig!

Karine!

Forget them.

Forget everything.

Join me in the eternal peace

of the swamps.

Come.

Get him in the car.
