Tenebre Page #3

Is that a proposal?

If you like!

Ok, if you need me,

I'll be at home! -Go ahead!

Jane? Is that Jane?

Janne McKerrow? - I could

have sworn it was!

What's the prefix to

New York?

But, it's impossible -

she is in New York -

She never strays 10 miles

from her shrink - Here!

Jane McKerrow. I am out for

the moment. Would you leave

your name, number and

message after the tone?

It was Jane!

But she'd call you. If only

to scream at you!

She wouldn't even be here if

it wasn't to try to get you

back or apologize.

Apologize for what?

For what she did to,

oh god forget it...

My Travel Bag. You think it

was Jane? I never said it was

I am going home,

no more puzzles!

Anne, do you think Jane

could have done that?

Bye - Bye, See you later!

No. I told you I don't give

a damn! You understand?

Why don't you say something?

Go f*** yourself!

Bastard!

Help Me. Is anybody home?

Hello there!?

Is anybody here? Help me.

Isn't anybody here? Please.

Oh god, please help me.

The door was open and I was

attacked by a dog!

Spy!

Damn litte Spy.

No. Leave me alone.

What do you want from me?

"I grieve for this child."

Her death was the only way

"to be free to go on!"

"I will eliminate those who"

"disgust me." The human"

perverts soon now the

"corruptor himself."

Me.

Be careful. This killer is

also very well informed.

He knew you're here! Knows

you've an agent here where h

can send the letter. And he

also knows it's be dangerous

to come around to your place

coz the girl, I mean Maria,

was living in your building!

You need me anymore today,

Captain?

No, No Mr. Neal...

But I'd like you to stay in

your appartement if possible

because this last message

threatens you personally.

By the way I finished your

book. You know what?

I knew on Page 30 who the

killer was. For the 1st time

Oh. I can't do this!

Going through your address-

book, trying to pick out

crazy people it's crazy!

Why me, why - because, coz

I have corrupted, he says!

Or she says!

She right! Trying to

eliminate the human

perverts.

Christiano Berti

the TV critic called

"Tenebrae" a novel about"

appartent behaviour and

human perversion.

He was very weird about it.

Hey Gianni, gimme that

telephone book.

Christiano Berti lives only

three blocks from here!

Now wait a minute.

This is paranoia!

Maria's body was found there

Tenebrae is a novel about

human perversion and

it's effect on society.

Those were his exact words

before we did the interview.

Trying to eleminate the

human perverts.

Two words, that's hardly a

case against him!

You could mention it to the

captain! - No, No way.

"Famous writer has funny"

"idea?" They would love tha

"Peter Neal plays the fool"

"to raid the killer"."

On the other hand,

if Peter Neal

got it right, wouldn't that

be something?

The cops are all over

the place.

Mhh 10:
15, they should be

quitting soon!

The victim was 17 year old

Maria Alboreto.

What happened there this

morning is still a mystery.

Meanwhile we understand our

murderer sent another letter

to the police in his magesty

warns he'll be striking ag.!

He says the next victim will

be someone he refers to

"The Great Corrupter"."

Well as a matter of fact

this is expected to result i

several businessmen and pol-

iticians leaving the city!

Jane? - Jane!

This is Jane McKerrow. I am

out for the moment. Leave...

Come on! I haven't been in

a garden since I was 6

Shut up!

This is boring.

All detecive work is boring.

But if you cut...

...out the boring bits and

keep the rest...

...you've got a bestseller!

Jesus - He must have been

there all the time!

He couldn't have seen us!

Listen, I go to the back!

Peter!

Who is it? Who's there?

Yes it was me!

Peter, Peter! Come on Hurry!

Oh... my head!

We've gotta get out of here.

The Guy has an axe!

He must still be in the

house.

We've gotta go, come on.

What happened to you.

I don't know.

Somebody must've

hit me!

What did you see, the killer?

I couldn't see much.

I don't remember!

Was he tall, short? What?

I don't know. I didn't see

anything except the axe!

The Killer. Christiano knew

the killer. Said it was him

He said he was who killed

them all.

That many murdered.

The blood!

You've to tell the police

What you saw could break it.

I didn't see sh*t. A dead

man and his head split open.

You know what I saw?

My mother putting me in the

schoolbus in Rhode Island.

That's what I saw.

After the knock on the head.

Like in the movies

You should've a doctor look

at this!

No, it's ok. Just a little

dizzy and very done!

Peter, maybe we should,

maybe we should both go

back to New York.

Anne, would you sleep here

tonight? Just company.

I will make up the bed.

Of course I'll stay!

Six years, and we've never

spent one night together!

Four of those six years we

had Jane around to disaprove

Oh. How does your head feel?

My Head?

How my head feels? Well that

is an interessting question.

My head?

What head, hm?

Peter, in the morning we

both forget about this, ok?

Nothing's happend, Nothing!

Nothing's happened!

Peter? Peter?

Thanx.

Would you like some coffee,

Mr. Neal?

Well close the deal on that

basis-No thank you-come in.

I am just broken up over

Christiano. Unbelievable.

Listen I only came to say

well I'm thinking of leaving

Rome for a couple of weeks.

Maybe going to Paris or some

other place!

Peter, Peter, you can't let

me down now.

We are within two days of

making a deal!

Please, stay until friday!

My Life is in danger.

There's no deal in world

worth risking my life for!

You are right!

You are right!

You know what. I'll book a

suite for you over the hills

Tell people you are going

back to New York just lay lo

until the publishers and

financers come back.

And it's a million dollar

deal, you understand?

Just you & me'll know where

you are. It's safe!

Do that for me, will you?

What is it?

Sir Donald Otley on line 1!

Where is he? - In London!

Put him on hold!

What do you say? - I'll

call you this afternoon!

Donald, how are you?

Hello, hello?

Where is that damn drunk?

He said he'd call back.

No Calls!

It's alright Darling!

I feel so filthy.

Hearing his voice from the

other side of the door

wondering if he knows

about us!

No, no it won't be long,

I promise you!

Jane? Will I see you for

lunch today?

Yeah. Same place?

Piazza Arduini - 1 o'clock!

I can't go in that house

No way!

You don't have to, Gianni!

Just stay in the car!

The lights went out.

Somebody switched them off.

Not Christiano.

I heard him screaming!

Stop right here!

I'll walk, you drive and

I'll see you later! - Ok!

I called you over here coz

I didn't want to

come to you til we finished

doing a complete checkup.

Was it the same killer?

I think so.

Only this time it was done

with an axe!

You didn't get the

yellow envelope yet?

Oh No! - You will!

You said that you only met

With Mr. Berti twice, aeh??
