The Element of Crime Page #5

Why can't you leave him to Kramer?

Kramer and his men

will get him in Halle.

That's the difference

between Kramer and me.

I cannot stop until I understand.

I owe it to Osborne.

You understand less and less.

I must do it according to the book.

I can't stop now.

You leave me behind, Harry.

I'm afraid you leave me

behind too, Harry.

I must go. Shhh.

Kim?

Try a little salycin.

It's no good.

Who were you talking to?

What do you mean?

Nobody.

The string, the string.

Tighter.

Tighter, tighter.

Why do you keep

torturing yourself?

I have to.

I believe in joy.

I believe in joy!

It's not your headache, Mr. Fisher.

Days go on and on

with no change.

Hey, schmuck of ages,

the sabbath's over.

My name's Harry Grey.

Have I been here before?

- No.

- Check the book.

Check the book.

- You were here two months ago.

- Not me.

- Harry Grey.

- Three years ago.

Hello? Fraulein?

You had double room 5.

I'll take that again.

- But we don't want any mess this time.

- What are you talking about?

Maybe I should say it to the missus.

You know, this might not be the Savoy,

but we do try to keep the rooms clean.

Okay?

I want to show you something.

Later.

Harry came to Halberstadt...

and stayed with Kim

die halbe Nacht.

If you could only see yourself.

I didn't know

you would take it like that.

Look what I got made.

This is not the first time

you've stayed in this hotel, is it?

What do you mean?

What did Harry Grey feel

about the blood when you screwed?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Whore!

You're sick! Oh, no!

No! Oh!

Is that your friend out there?

Relax, for Christ's sake.

Relax!

You're trying to drive me mad,

scare me. It's a plot.

- What is it you want to know?

- Everything.

Did you talk about the Lotto Murders

when you f***ed?

Was he religious?

Did he take sugar in his coffee?

I have a child with Harry Grey.

The blood made me think.

It's something I should have

realized long ago.

By following the same route as H.G.,

I ran into the same girl.

Kim had been with Harry Grey.

I'm getting rid of the pills,

getting rid of Harry Grey for good.

It's not my headache.

I've made up my mind.

I can't stay.

My Cairo jacket is too thin

for this climate.

It seems Europe

will never let me rest.

Too tired right now

even to wonder what happened.

Discipline is a prerequisite.

Discipline is a prerequisite.

I would describe the development

as a growing hunger,

an insatiable appetite

for the hunted.

The criminologist

can afford no weakness.

He must remain untouched,

detached, clinical, objective.

To do otherwise would be

to misuse my method.

So that's all, Mr. Fisher?

That's your story?

Yes, that's all.

"Dear Mr. Fisher,

"We're contacting you

on the recommendation of Mr. Osborne.

"Our granddaughter sells lotto.

"Mr. Osborne was afraid

she might be contacted...

by a certain Mr. Grey

here in Halle. "

Got you, Sheriff.

So Cairo will have to wait.

He wanted to meet her alone tonight.

Of course we told the police

straight away.

We want to help.

We had a lot of respect

for Inspector Osborne.

Nothing can happen.

All the police will be there.

What's the plan?

Harry Grey is meeting

the lotto girl tonight.

I'll be there.

Now I've got him.

Where are the other policemen?

We can manage. The other police'll

make a mess of things.

Have you heard of Kramer?

Kramer must not come.

I've got something to show you.

Push me.

We don't have very much time.

Yes, we do.

Is he here now?

I'm scared.

Are you ill?

Stop it! Can't anybody make them stop?!

Stop it.

I don't give a f***! F***ers.

Sh*t!

F***. Stop it, motherfuckers.

Make them shut up.

This is Kramer, don't jump.

Don't jump.

Well, if it isn't Fisher.

How are your theories doing Fish?

I have something which might interest you.

Didn't you get my note about Osborne?

Messages can get around that tube-biosystem for weeks.

You wrote to me. A confession.

A murder in the harbour and one more here. In Halla.

You know anything about that, Fish?

So I think I solved your little mystery for you.

You know Osborne's methods.

You reconstructed that 3 year old fieldtrip of Harry Greys.

... you could say.

You know how those things can happen, Fish. Do you?

It's anarchy in these parts.

Not freedom, anarchy.

It confuses people, they succumb, go under.

The Osbornes.

He couldn't quite cope with the element of crime.

He loves systems, that Osborne.

When Harry Grey died, Osborne brought his system to completion.

It took him over.

You believed his act.

I want to wake up now.

Are you there?

You can wake me up now.

Are you there?
