Secreto Del Dr. Orloff, El Page #3

---

night didn't do you any good.

My date?

Yeah, you went out

with someone else

and made comparisons,

of course.

What are you

talking about?

I called you, but they told me

that you'd gone out,

and you wouldn't be back

until really late.

- You must be joking.

- Not this time.

Who answered the phone?

I don't know... it was

a man's voice, in any case.

Why are you so surprised

about all this?

Oh, nothing... it's true.

I went out with my uncle

but we got home early.

You're getting harder and harder

to understand, Melissa.

I think you're hiding

some secret love,

and you're ashamed

to admit it to me.

No, I'm only ashamed

of your attitude towards me.

Well, come with me.

We'll have a drink

and get something to eat.

I'm as hungry

as a wolf.

Calm down.

Take it easy.

Calm down, Andros.

Easy now.

Calm down.

Andros!

Conrad, Conrad,

what's happened?

Quick,

go to my brother's room!

Melissa's there,

she's fainted.

Ciceron! Ciceron!

Hitch up the carriage,

we're going out.

- I'm gonna take a bath.

- Fine.

Drive on

to the cemetery.

.When Pepita was born,

so filled with...

. She was real round,

she had a...

.Her parents exclaimed

to see her so...

.Pepita, Pepita, Pepita,

what a horror!

.When Pepita grew up,

she went...

.She kept on real full,

real full of...

.The boys screamed

at her to see her so...

.Pepita, Pepita, Pepita,

what horror!

.Pepita fell in love

with everybody.

.She got prettier

with desires of...

.The poor boyfriend

said to see her so...

.Pepita, Pepita, Pepita,

what a horror!

.And Pepita got married

with less...

.She got fatter,

more full of...

. And her husband said

to see her so...

.Pepita, Pepita, Pepita,

what a horror!

.And Pepita died

so full of...

.They buried her

with all the...

.And all of the family

cried with pain.

.Pepita, Pepita,

Pepita, what a horror!

- Hi.

- Hey there.

Who's there?

What are you doing here?

What do you want

from me?

Hey you!

Wait a minute!

So you think that

at least one of your bullets

struck the killer?

It's not a question of whether

I think so:
, I know I did.

Nevertheless, your bullets

had no affect on the target.

At first, I thought they had,

he hesitated for a moment,

but then he ran

and jumped out the window.

I swear I shot him again,

but the last time I saw him,

he was running so fast,

I couldn't keep up with him.

You accurately noted the hour

when he killed the girl?

-2 A.M., or thereabouts.

- Excuse me, when?

Did you say "thereabouts"?

Perfect, so it was 2 A.M.,

but we're not sure.

What time did you start

your shift?

Midnight, or thereabouts.

It's clear that if your

vocabulary lacked this word,

you wouldn't be able

to express yourself at all.

May I assume that your

refreshment had alcohol in it?

I drank a couple of whiskeys,

if that's what you're saying.

Mm-hmm.

Two whiskeys with water.

Hasn't it occurred to you that

alcohol might have impaired

your ability to see

what really happened?

Out of the question,

because I know how to drink.

And I'm astonished

to hear it.

An officer of the law confirming

his drinking habits.

I don't see why that makes me

an alcoholic.

What harm is there in a couple

of drinks at Christmas time?

I can't see

what you're driving at.

In any case, you've got 200

witnesses to confirm my story.

Hmmm, more or less.

I'm just wondering if these 200

witnesses or "thereabouts"

are as trustworthy

as you are.

Sure they are.

Excuse me?

There's no doubt

that you can trust them.

I let everybody drink on credit,

and everybody paid his bill.

Nobody was talking to you.

I was just trying to help,

but if you're not interested...

I'll get around to you

eventually.

But it's important

that we talk privately.

Alright, it's your turn now,

my friend.

Bless you.

Thank you.

But I'm not particularly

interested in being blessed now.

- Your name?

- Karl Steiner.

- And age?

-37.

- Your profession?

- Boxer.

- Still working?

- Yes and no.

I don't understand.

Do you still get in the ring

from time to time?

I mean, I don't get

many fights at all.

Why not?

Ever since I got K.O.'d by

the German middleweight champ,

nobody in Spain

will offer me a contract.

- How do you earn a living?

- I got lots of ways.

- For example?

- Well, almost anything.

I sell used cars,

import scotch whiskey...

Sounds like you do

lots of odd jobs.

You knew the victim,

is that right?

She was my fiance.

Yeah, I gotta tell you,

this kid is a lady killer.

We used to score all the time

in Hamburg, what a party!

Interesting... so what kind

of repeat offender are you?

I was just making a comment

to help out the investigation,

I guess we'll talk

about it later.

What did you do when he came

out of her dressing room?

I threw myself on him and

grabbed him by his jacket.

When he started to run,

I spun him around

to give him an upper cut,

but he beat me

to the punch.

He may look

like a cream puff,

but he sure packed

a wallop.

He punched me

like a human hammer.

This guy was supernatural,

the way he could hit.

I suppose you can describe this

individual's physical makeup?

Tall, light blue eyes,

pale complexion.

He was dressed in black

and wore gloves.

Just a moment,

excuse me.

Sir, we just found out

that the necklace

the victim wore tonight

exactly matches

the one worn by another woman

who was killed a few nights ago

in that night club, Frita's.

And what's more, the method

used to kill these two women

was exactly the same

in both cases.

If you'll permit a lack

of taste, my friend,

I fear

I must express my feelings

with a vulgar display

of swearing:

We're in it

up to our necks.

Well now,

it's your turn.

You have a lot to say to me,

is that right?

Oh no,

not a single word.

Nothing, nothing,

absolutely nothing.

What is it you want,

young man?

Good afternoon, sir,

I've come for Melissa.

Oh, you're the young man

who went out with her

the other day, aren't you?

Yes, sir.

I'm very pleased to see you and

I have a message from my niece.

She requests

that you leave her alone.

She doesn't wish

to see you ever again.

And she'd rather you didn't

telephone her anymore.

But I've come to take her back

to the university.

For the time being,

she will be staying here,

and not returning

to the university.

Goodbye, young man.

But...

It's just like I said,

the poor boy wasn't

even invited to come in.

That uncle of yours

is a holy terror.

You look much rosier today,

Melissa,

not that it makes any difference

to me how pale you are.

I'm rather partial

to pale girls.

I always have been,

and do you know why?

Because they always

break my heart.

- Give us a moment, Ciceron.

- Certainly, sir.

You're doing fine.

Uncle, who was outside?

No one,

why do you ask?

I thought I heard

a car horn.

Really?

I was up in my laboratory,

I didn't hear a thing.

In your opinion,

what's the matter with me?

There's nothing the matter
