The Diabolical Dr. Z

---

Doctor...

Here's your coffee

Thank you, Barbara

We're fine. Don't worry...

Bye

Who's that?

Bresson

What's up?

A man escaped

A man escaped?

Yes. From Death Row

Hans Bergen

The Woodside Strangler

The sadistic Killer

Four murders in six months

Unrepentant

Will be hung at dawn

Might be the police

Go and see

Irma!

Hans Bergen

Who is it?

Bergen.

He's unconscious

From Death Row. As good as dead

Here...

Barbara, bring him in

Now's your chance

THE DIABOLICAL DR Z

Which will help us determine

their effects...

in the treatment

of neurovascular diseases

Tomorrow, Dr Moroni will address you

But that's all from me

I hope you found it of interest

Thank you for your time

Vicas!

Vicas...

We're already late

Your attention, please

An addition to the program

Our friend Professor Zimmer

would like to say a few words

Gentlemen... I thank you

It was not easy for me

to get here today

As you know, I've been working

on problems of the nervous system

...for more than 30 years

Some of you may consider him

a charlatan

But all of you have heard of

Dr Orloff

According to him...

there are certain precise areas

of the brain and the spinal column

That inspire us to act

either for good or evil

His research convinced him

that good and bad

were merely a matter of physiology

That morality was located

entirely in our motor centers

Now I have gone even beyond that

With the help of my daughter, Irma

I have managed to define precisely

the physical centers...

of both good and evil

To control them is now easy

I have perfected a Z-ray capable of

eliminating or stimulating these centers

And I have proof of my theories

You've experimented on humans?

No, Dr Kallman. No

Only on animals

How exactly?

Did you perhaps find

some killer sheep, maybe?

Dr Moroni, this is no joke

I calmed a wild hyena and now

she eats out of my hand

I reversed the process

and she became enraged

She tried to attack herself

What do you want from us?

Permission to experiment on humans

What! Are you mad?

You Nazi bastard!

Let me speak!

By my method all the killers,

the psychotics, the sadistic maniacs

can be turned into normal people

Inoffensive

Maybe even lead useful lives

Professor, have you no shame?

But what harm would it do

if I used a criminal

from death row?

It's you who's the criminal

I think our feeling is

you should leave at once

We formally forbid

the continuance of this work

No, Vicas! No!

Father

Irma... promise you'll carry on

Father...

Yes. I promise

Irma...

Hello, Philippe

Just like the old days, huh?

Thanks for all your help

Why not go home?

I can't right now

The house will seem so empty

The way they treated your father

was terrible

- I thought...

- Thank you

But it's over now

Come on. Let's go

I couldn't do anything

I'm just a junior doctor.

They don't listen to me

But I hate fools

like Vicas, Moroni, Kallman

I'll never forget

Ladies - and above all gentlemen...

We present for your pleasure

The strange and mysterious

Miss Death!

Want to go?

I'll take you

Goodbye

Philippe!

Going to Hartog?

Yes. Just you?

Yes

I was expecting your boyfriend

to appear

No. I always travel alone

It's dangerous

But not with you

Come far?

From Rotterdam

My name's Juliann van Drokken

I love travelling

I have to hitch.

I don't have the money for a train

But there's always some sucker...

- Oh! I'm sorry

- Don't be

Don't your parents worry?

They're both dead

Killed in the war. I was two

I live alone

But I do all right

I make money somehow

Model... hostess... secretary

Oh! What a beautiful lake

Can we stop for a swim?

Why not

I don't have a suit

Borrow this one

- Thanks

- It's nothing

The water's cold

I don't mind

I'm used to it

I can stay in the water for hours

Had enough?

Yes. It's too cold for me

It's great

Beats a swimming pool

What's wrong, Irma?

What do you want?

I was waiting for you

To say good bye

You're leaving?

Yes

I stayed for your father's sake

It may sound silly

But I admired him

So now you're going?

Yes. I can't stay here now

That business with Bergen

You pushed your father into it

He never would have done it

Bergen!

Who are you?

I am... Barbara Huberts

You still want to leave?

No

You promise to obey me?

I do

Get up.

There's work to do

Fetch the big mirror

Sorry

Bergen. Get the car ready

Load all the equipment

We're moving

Where to?

The old house

I don't like that place

It's been empty so long

An excellent place to hide

Dr Zimmer's daughter is dead

Who'd look for her

in a place like that?

We have work to do, Barbara

Vicas... Moroni... Kallman

Now I need a woman

A woman of blood and fire

To seduce and destroy them

Philippe!

I can't stay

I've got 3 days off.

I can come to Paris with you

I got the tickets

I hope you won't be too busy

on our first holiday together

Nadia!

Nadia, you're on

Go on

I can't wait

And neither can I.

Don't be late

Tomorrow - the airport at three

Ladies - and above all gentlemen...

we would now like to present...

...the strange, the macabre,

the mysterious...

Miss Death!

A message for Miss Death

Do you like America?

Who are you?

My card's there

I want to sign you up

New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas.

You're kidding!

You heard me

But I can't go now. I...

I just want an option

Your signature

I only came in here by chance

tonight

I loved your act

In America you could try for films

Hollywood...

Yes

I leave early tomorrow.

So we don't have much time

Come to my agency

Well...

It's not far

But...

Don't bother to change

It's next door.

Just put your coat on

Are they real?

Yes

- You off?

- See you

I really want to do films

I've been trying this for a while.

It's going well

Miss Death was my creation

But I want to move on.

I think I can do better

This way

It's dark here

Just down the stairs on the right

Who's that?

The caretaker

- It's...?

- A theatre

What's that?

What do you want?

Who are you?

Let me go!

Passengers for Paris

proceed at once to gate number 2

...we are now boarding

I can't hear you

She left yesterday?

You're sure?

Right...

OK. Thanks

Philippe, come on!

Last call for Paris

She's coming to

Careful

She's dangerous

You only kill when I say so.

Understand?

Do you belong to me -

body and soul?

Yes

Never forget it

Your magnificent nails

are deadly weapons

You promise to obey me?

Now help me with Barbara

She's beautiful

Yes. Very beautiful

Who else lives here?

Just a man

Where is he?

Abroad

I love you Nadia.

Philippe

I have to go away

for two months

A job came up

...Unexpectedly

...in Paris

I'll write when I can.

Love, Nadia

May I sit here?

Please

How rude of me

You're going to Hartog, too?

Yes

All through the night

You're alone?

I prefer it. And you?

Most of the time. For business

I travel for pleasure

I prefer trains

Or boats...

Slow boats

I hate flying

No intimacy

Don't you agree?

You're amazing
