Paul Is Dead Page #3

You never lock up anyway.

Mom said we should lock up.

Yes, and have you been doing it

up till now? No! So what's wrong?

What is it?

The janitor is on the Abbey Road cover.

- What?

Your school janitor is on the cover

of Abbey Road, next to the police car...

and the murderer has his number.

The phone number... for Holzi!

What sort of murderer?

The murderer of Paul, Paul McCartney!

The guy with the Beetle!

It seems something's not right

with your head!

But I spoke with him!

You spoke with Paul McCartney's murderer?

No, with the janitor, man!

Just as I've said!

Well, what's so special about that?

The caretaker lives across the way, you fool!

You understand nothing at all!

No Tobias, it's not Thursday yet!

I can't give you the money. Your mother said:

Once a week, always on Thursday.

I'm not going to just come back on Thursday.

You can gladly come back on Thursday.

Not today, I'm sorry.

Don't lie, you're not sorry at all!

Otherwise you'd give it to me.

Now don't be insolent, okay!

Dimwit! Running meter, huh? Little sh*t!

Read it aloud again.

Man, it's already 16:30

and the guy's still asleep!

Let's wait at least

another half an hour, okay?

All right.

But then I'll really be hungry.

I can make us something now.

- Mhm.

Tell me...

Do you think you can record "Romeo and Juliet"

after "Wish You Were Here"?

Sure, why not?

Don't you think that's too obvious?

Why too obvious?

Well, because...

Oh, it doesn't matter, just...

Give me them again!

There!

Go on, write it down!

accompanied by his dog.

into the stream.

His dog retrieves it.

Oh, I don't feel like doing this anymore,

it's pointless.

Nothing more is happening.

How late is it?

Five till Six.

Let's wait until 6 at least.

Hey, Ronnie and Corinna.

Something else is happening.

Let's go. They're going to Kiesi Hollow,

there will be something to see there!

and pursue separate tracks.

at the school. He drinks a beer.

Helmholtz High School, Hhr.

Hello?

It's open!

Holzi sits in a dark corner of the pub.

He looks around, then lights a pipe.

Nothing is seen of the guy with the Beetle.

Hi Sarah, back already?

and empties it by himself.

Without speaking to anyone.

And how was it? Wait a moment.

Hello, Helmut!

- Hello.

I'll be right there!

- Okay.

Analysis:
The relationship between the janitor

and the murderer with the Beetle...

couldn't be put together yet.

I'm keeping him under surveillance.

Tomorrow is the final part

of Alan Bangs' show.

Do you want to come by,

my parents are gone?

Stefanie Brock is having

an outdoor party tonight.

Does Till know about it?

- Not likely. It's not a kindergarten party.

I'd like to, but Helmut just came over.

And besides, I have to look after Tina.

Well, then ask Helmut to look after her.

- Nah, that's mean.

Ronnie is probably coming.

Really, are you sure?

- Yes, sure!

Well Helmut, how's it going?

I mixed a tape for you.

That's sweet of you. What's on it?

Ah, a variety.

It starts with Dire Straits and...

after that comes something harder: Blondie.

I think you have to put contrasting songs

on tapes for the variety.

Tell me...

Did you already have something

to do this evening?

Nope. I thought we... Why?

Then... could you do me a huge favor?

What then?

But say nothing to Till, okay?

Helmut? You have to promise,

Till must not find out about it.

No problem.

Thank you.

Are we going to play something?

What are you doing here? Off to bed!

I don't know if you recall that this is 2DF TV,

not Radio Moscow.

You have to speak German here.

- That was German.

That was German? Can you prove that?

Yes, now let's replay

that gibberish backwards.

Well then do it.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm pleased to acquaint you with my hobby.

That's tremendous!

Can you sing us a song?

- Yes. - Really? - Yes.

What was that?

- "Berlin Air" starting from the back end.

Are you still awake?

- Billy Sheals.

Who's Billy Sheals?

Paul McCartney's doppelgnger.

That's Billy Sheals.

Billy Sheals was a young musician from Liverpool,

who by chance, on the 6th of October 1960,

played with the Beatles

at the Kaiser Keller in Hamburg.

Except for his too big nose, he resembled

Paul McCartney down to the last hair.

On the 17th of November 1960,

he stayed in the room...

next to Paul McCartney and Pete Best

at the Bambi Cinema.

The Beatles started playing

at the Top 10 Club.

Billy Sheals had had enough

of the jokes about his nose.

He lit a couple of condoms

in the room of Paul and Pete Best.

The cinema caught fire.

Paul McCartney and Pete Best were arrested.

The next day, the Beatles were deported.

Back to Liverpool.

Years later. Paul McCartney dies.

Brian Epstein remembers Billy Sheals.

They track the guy down

and they pay for his new nose.

No more disparities.

Tomorrow on Alan Bangs' show, I'll be

proven right! Helmut is coming too.

Okay, tomorrow.

That will be the moment of truth!

Tessa?

Helmut, what are you doing here?

Are you crazy?

There in the blinds, there's a kink, the...

I just wanted...

Perhaps you're thirsty?

Please go! Go home!

Tina Sthrenberg, who's there?

Hello! This is Till. Is your sister there?

Yes, but she's asleep.

Ah, too bad.

Can you perhaps wake her up?

No she's not sleeping, she's standing

next to me. Here Tessa, it's Till!

Yes, hello?

Hi Tessa, want to go swimming?

At the bridge?

I already have plans with Sarah.

When then?

- Two o'clock at the swimming pool.

Bring her along.

It's a lot nicer at the river.

Sarah asked before you.

Besides, I've not seen her for 4 weeks.

And maybe after that?

Tonight at the Okambo?

Perhaps so. I'll call you today.

This afternoon, or tomorrow afternoon.

What's the matter with you,

what's troubling you?

Nothing! Tonight at the Okambo,

all right! What time?

Yes... 8 is okay, right?

Fine! Until then!

Bye!

...the third part of the Beatles special

with Alan Bangs.

We've come to the answer to last week's quiz.

The question asked, what does John Lennon

say at the end of "Strawberry Fields"?

Many found the question rather difficult,

since I've received just 53 answers.

The correct answer

apparently needs a little clarification.

When the Beatles got together

for the last time in the studio...

to record Abbey Road in 1969,

they had no idea...

Hello Till.

...what bizarre rumors would be unleashed.

Shortly after its release in September '69,

a certain Russ Gibbs,

a disc jockey of the Detroit

radio station WKNR FM, opined that...

that Paul McCartney had already died

in November 1966. - What?

Brian Epstein covered up the death

and replaced Paul with a doppelgnger.

On various album covers,

John, George and Ringo made some allusions...

to the tragic death of their friend.

Most of the evidence for the outrageous claim

can be found on the Abbey Road cover.

In the picture's background on the left,

one can recognize a white VW Beetle.

It bears the license plate LMW 28 IF.
