The Girl Downstairs Page #7

Without even a charge.

What do you mean?

You have to have a charge?

Well, naturally.

Well...

There was a brooch,

A gold brooch

with a number of large stones.

She has it with her.

That's different -

robbery.

She took it from you?

Yes.

That is, she...

She took it from me.

Name?

Katerina.

Katerina.

Katerina what?

Katerina -

She was about

five feet tall.

She's young, pretty, blond,

carrying a bag.

She's dressed

in sort of -

Well, how do I know

how she was dressed?

Full name, please.

I don't even know that.

The police! The police!

The police!

Wait!

What's this?

What's your name?

Linz.

Katerina linz.

Huh, katerina.

That part checks.

Blond, young,

pretty, suitcase.

Come along, young lady.

But,

I- I'll miss my train.

I've been waiting

all night.

There you are.

It all fits perfectly.

Come along.

Don't seem to be here,

sir.

Try the linings

and all the pockets.

Yes, sir.

Please.

Wh-what are you

looking for?

As if you didn't know.

What's this, anyway?

That's my music-

no, no, no, no, no.

Come on, now. Come on.

What have you done with it?

I... I don't know

what you mean.

Oh, you know, all right.

The brooch you took

from mr. Wagner,

With all the diamonds.

Brooch?

My... My present?

Hm. Imagine anyone stealing

a thing like that.

Stealing?

Stealing...

Paul:
Katerina!

Katerina,

I almost went crazy.

I didn't know

how to trace you or anything,

So I had to

use the police.

So you had to use the police,

eh?

Well, maybe the police

can use you.

Now, now.

Everything can be arranged.

My card.

By the way, you haven't

really met, have you?

Meet my fiance.

Miss katerina... Miss katerina...

The name is "linz. "

thank you very much.

You see,

it doesn't matter now.

The name's

going to be changed anyway.

Good day.

No.

This isn't right.

We are not

right for each other.

Oh, that's not true!

I don't want

a gentleman.

I'm not a gentleman.

But you are.

I'm just the same

as you.

The clothes

don't make any difference.

Look into my eyes.

No.

Not anymore.

I found out those eyes

don't tell the truth.

Yes, but they do.

They've always told the truth,

only I didn't know it.

Hey!

Where do you think you are?

Get out of here!

Quick!
