The Diabolical Dr. Z Page #2

---

- Am I...?

- What?

...Dreaming?

This train...

This journey...

You...

Touch my hand

Is that a dream?

I don't know

What incredible nails

A present from Dr Zimmer

There's blood on your dress.

Strip off and burn it

Done. We have no time to lose

I hope I can be as successful

with her

as my father was with you

I see him in the flames

Why did I kill him?

Why?

Shut up!

No. I must know why

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go

She's starting to remember

Open this door!

Open it...!

You're scaring the fish

It's your face that scares them

Let's try further down

I had to go away for two months

an unexpected job in Paris

Don't people usually knock?

Sorry, I'm in a hurry

If you want Nadia,

you're too late

Where is she?

She went off with some English woman

Did you recognise her?

I'm not sure.

Maybe I've seen her before...

What was she like?

Brown hair... Strange glasses

Anything else?

No. Just those glasses

Didn't suit her

Another bad night?

Very bad

Not much you can do, I guess,

when they're crying all night

Never stopped. All night long

Terrible

Well, I hope this case

will be interesting

As overseas observer,

I was expecting more

I'm not wishing a disaster on you

But things are a bit quiet

I think we're here

Why's he so tetchy?

His wife's just had triplets

They keep him awake all night

Hello

Inspector Grinder from Scotland Yard

So...?

It's a young woman

Dead several days

Burnt. No sign of drink or drugs

No sign of a struggle.

The car seems to have caught fire

Might be an accident

Whose car is it?

Professor Zimmer's

Zimmer's been dead two weeks

Might be his daughter.

We need to get her ID'd

Philippe Whitehouse?

Yes

Could you identify Irma Zimmer?

I think so

You knew her well?

Fairly well

I'm a doctor. I knew her father

A doctor?

Yes. A neurologist

Did you know Dr...

Vicas?

Yes.

Indeed I do

He was found dead last night

Near the railway line

Accident?

Yes. It's Vicas

He still had his papers and money

Who's cat's that?

It's Malou's

- Malou?

- Yes, Malou!

I find the death of Dr Vicas

more interesting

than the girl in the car

However, I still think he

might have just fallen off the train

And the scratches on his throat?

Probably a wolf

Take a look

What...?

Curare

Found in the scratches

in Vicas's throat

He was attacked by an animal

with nails that were long, sharp

and filled with poison

Know any wolves like that?

Hard to be sure

The body was badly burned

We found...

...this ring

Yes, I think it's hers

Our first clue

Funny it's so hard to identify her

Was she blond or brunette?

Irma? Blonde

A natural blonde?

That, I don't know

Dr Zimmer, his daughter

and Dr Vicas are all dead

They were all at the conference

Weren't you there too?

Yes

Then I'd watch your back

What's up love?

A nightmare.

Vicas attacked by a panther

Don't fret

It's normal to be upset by death

True. But this was so strange

Yes

He was seen at dinner

with a beautiful blonde

She's disappeared

A beautiful blonde. Really?

You think it was murder?

I don't know

Anyway, I'm going out for a coffee

I have to work late tonight

Don't be too long

I don't like to be alone here

I won't stay. Bye

Evening, Christian

Evening doctor

- A coffee?

- Please

Whisky please

Leaving, doctor?

I need some fresh air.

Goodnight

Fancy it, big boy?

Sandra?

Police station

Dr Moroni, you're finished

Remember Dr Zimmer

You know Dr Moroni?

Why? Is he dead?

They just found his body

He was killed last night

The same scratches on him?

No. None at all

Was Moroni at that conference?

Indeed.

He was Zimmer's fiercest critic

Come to dinner

Is that an order?

No. An invitation

Seems connected with that conference

As though Zimmer is being avenged

The police don't believe in ghosts

Even if policemen do

Another strong coffee please

Still crying?

All night...

Didn't get a wink of sleep

His daughter...

Whose?

Zimmer

Well?

Maybe it wasn't her body in that car

All evidence in the murders

of Vicas and Moroni

points in the direction

of a young woman

But nothing like Irma Zimmer

But just like Miss Death

Miss Death?

It's the nails

Nadia had those long, sharp nails

Weren't you lovers?

Yes, but it's over

Inspector, what if someone

took over her mind

Brainwashed her somehow...

Turned Nadia into a killer

Hey!

No-one's there, they all died

Right now, the house is closed

The case is still under investigation

His daughter's death

is not yet established

Of course, but tell me...

didn't Zimmer have another house?

You're right. There was another place

His family home. Near Hartog

Reduce the levels

Be careful!

Bye, guys

The wife's waiting

See you Sunday

Hey, Kallman!

Drive carefully

Josef, quickly!

Help me carry her upstairs

Of course, doctor

Where am I?

Dr Kallman's surgery

My surgery

Just as you wanted

The first part of your plan

has worked perfectly

What plan?

I was ready for you

The deaths of Moroni and Vicas

put me on guard

That's not all

I know Zimmer's theories

I examined you closely

I found the operation scars

Your nails

I know who you are

Stay right there!

Call the police

Although I know you are being used

by somebody

I doubt the police

will see it that way

I'm sorry

That's them

It's over

She's no more use

She could be dangerous

Get rid of her quickly

Yes. She's mine

I control her

She can't get away

But... who are you?

You don't know?

Take a good look

Irma

Yes

Irma Zimmer. Remember now?

I'm sorry you got involved, Philippe

I meant you no harm

But you came between me and Nadia

And I needed her

No!

Don't bother

She only hears me

I had to avenge my father

She was the instrument

You've killed Bergen

That saves us the trouble

His only purpose was to serve me

Now I must get rid of Nadia

She's no use to me now.

You too Philippe!

You won't leave here alive

I'm leaving - and so is Nadia

Too late!

Nadia. It's me - Philippe

Philippe

Nadia... wake up!

Irma Zimmer

Get me out of here

Hello, Dr Whitehouse

Inspector - It's incredible

How did you guess?

I stayed at my mother's

and had a good night's sleep

Help her

You're right

This was a crime after all

My darling, it's all over

Don't worry

Let's go

I'll look after you. I'll cure you

It's going to be all right, Nadia
