That coat with no belt was the

end of everything.

I suppose they found it in

the car.

Yes, they brought it in while I

was being questioned.

No belt in the pocket by any

chance?

No, nothing but a box of matches

of the Grand Hotel.

I've got to go. Old Will's waiting.

Will you go now?

I don't want it.

Erica!

Those matches!

Did you say Grand Hotel?

Yes, why?

I've never been there in my life!

Then whoever killed her...

Has been or still is at the

Grand Hotel

Well, if it isn't Cinderella!

What's the idea?

- What idea?

- This dressing up for the ball.

I don't know what you mean,

officer.

Well, look:
this.

I've been watching you for the

last half hour

I'm so glad you came back.

I don't know what I'd had done

without you.

After all, you're the only one

who can recognize him.

These boots pinch a bit.

I haven't had the time to slit

them for my corns.

Hadn't we better start looking

for him?

Yes, rather.

- Here, what's that place?

- That's the office

Well, perhaps they know that

bloke that twitches.

I'll go and ask.

Excuse me, miss, you don't

happen to know...?

- Just a moment, please.

- All right.

No good asking her, she'll never

know a thing like that.

- What if I try in there?

- Yes, anywhere.

Yes, sir?

- Table for two, please.

- Thank you.

We ought to order tea or

something, we can't stay here.

I'd rather have a beer.

I don't think you can get that

kind of thing here.

I'd better order because I'm

the man.

- Two cups of tea, please.

- Indian or Chinese, sir?

No, tea!

Keep an eye on her while I

telephone her father

Very good, Sergeant.

Haven't you seen anyone with

a twitch?

- There are too many people.

- You must find him!

Well, I can't ask them all if

they twitch, can I?

We have bitten more than we can

chew.

He must be here, somewhere!

What sort of twitch has he?

Just in one eye?

No, both eyes.

I can't see nothing with all

these people crowding about.

- Can't we go to another table?

- No, we can't, they're all taken.

Oh, we've got to take a look

somehow.

- What about dancing?

- Can you dance?

No, of course not, duckie, but I

don't mind having a go.

- It's only half walking, anyway

- Oh, well.

I wish I had my old boots.

I want you, old man.

Don't come in again like that.

It isn't funny and I pay someone

else to make the orchestrations.

- I'm afraid it's no good, duckie

- We mustn't give up.

The cops have been watching us

for the past quarter of an hour.

I know. I didn't think you had

noticed.

I didn't think you had either.

They're probably looking for

Mr. Tisdall.

I shouldn't take too many of

those, old man.

- I take as many as I want.

- All right, all right.

I'm sorry, but I take them to

stop these twitches.

Got to be stopped somehow, it's

getting on my nerves.

Come on, boys, time's up.

I want to thank you for your

patience and your consideration.

The whole thing's beyond me.

Please, go in.

I'm sorry, sir, but it can't be

helped.

Of course, go ahead.

Do whatever you think fit.

There's nothing you need to do

to her.

I was saying there's nothing you

need to do to her.

It's all right, I'm not going to

give you any trouble.

It's a pity you didn't think that

sooner.

You might have saved a great

deal of trouble.

Go and take him inside, Sergeant.

I'm going to get miss Burgoyne

and the old man.

Come on, boys.

- Where are they?

- Over there.

Ask them to come out, will you?

Please, stand back, he needs air

Please, keep clear!

All right, let's get along.

What's happened with the band,

waiter?

I don't know, sir, I was trying

to find the doctor.

They don't seem to know what to

do for him.

Can't we help?

Your last efforts of first aid

weren't much of a success.

Can't you be human for once?

Here, let me see.

- Get some brandy, sir

- Certainly.

Will! Will!

Look, Will, his eyes!

Will someone wipe the black in

his face?

It's him, miss! It's him,

all right.

You gave the old tramp a

raincoat, didn't you?

What did you do with the belt of

the raincoat?

What did I do with the belt?

I twisted it round her neck and

choked her life out of her.

I found him, it's all right,

it's over.

Father, don't you think we ought

to ask Mr. Tisdall to dinner?
