Delirium (Delirio caldo)

Hi, it's me. Yeah, I'm at a dance club too.

There's a crowd here, and some of the guys look great!

I'd join you, but I don't know where this club of yours is.

I do.

See you later, I guess. Bye.

Is it far from here?

No, just a few minutes. I live in the area.

You are so kind.

I'm sorry for being a bother.

My boyfriend will be there. I'm going to surprise him.

Of course.

Hey, where are we going?

Where are we going?

To the dance club.

No! Stop it!

Stop doing that!

Stop it!

Go back and let me out! This Isn't the road to the club!

Go back and let me out, I said! Stop acting crazy!

Stop the car!

Done, I've stopped it.

You're crazy! Take your hands off me!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

No!

No...

Seven murders in a single year. Always with the same style.

We can't get to the bottom of it. One darned tough investigation.

Hello?

Give me the address.

Good.

I noticed her because she made it sound as if she was calling from a dance club.

She was pretty.

I'd easily recognize the man who offered her a ride.

His car was a...

I forgot something.

Bye, Uncle Herbert.

Who's there?

I left my cigarettes on the studio desk.

Did you find your cigarettes?

Of course, darling. See you later.

I'd like to retire for the evening. Is there anything you need, Ma'am?

No, thanks. You can go now.

Good night, Ma'am.

I said I'm fine. You can go.

I know her. Yeah, I know her.

Thing is, I don't remember how we met and where.

Make an effort, Dr. Lyutak.

We can use even the smallest clue.

Why don't you give me some hints?

You have sought me out dozens of times for opinions...

... on the psychological nature of certain crimes.

I'd be more than glad to help you solving this case.

It's him! Yes, I recognize him! It's him, no doubt about it!

I still remember how he glanced at her. This is the man, I recognize him!

Me? What are you talking about?

Dr. Lyutak, this man stated that he saw you and the victim...

... leaving his bar the night of the murder.

Oh, that's right, now I remember!

It was the girl who made a phone call. I gave her a ride to a dance club.

I live in that area.

- Hello? - I'll be home tomorrow.

They're still investigating, because I knew...

The girl murdered near the stream.

Yes, the girl murdered near the stream.

I'll stay up and wait for you.

I'll wait for you.

Somebody help me, please! I'm being followed, I'm scared!

I need your exact whereabouts, Miss. This is a newsroom.

I'm not familiar with this area, but it's close to the lake. Call the police!

I'm scared...

I'm scared!

Help me! Help me, please!

Stay on the phone! Stay on the phone!

Call the police on the other line. They can trace the phone booth.

I'm scared.

No...

Do something!

He's here! He's going to...

It's on the way to the lake!

I won't be able to defend myself!

Help me! Call the police!

Call the...

Help me!

Try to scare him, Miss! Try to scare him away!

Shout that the police are coming!

No! No!

Hello? Hello? Say something, Miss!

No!

Answer me, Miss!

The police have located the phone booth!

Let's hope they'll get there in time!

Do you think the same killer did it, Doctor?

Odd, indeed.

They all seem to come from the same mold.

An evil mold inserted into the human brain by Nature or some disease.

All four of you were in the area where the murder was committed.

Without any valid reason and without any ID.

I told you and I'll say it again!

The place was dark and I was just relieving myself!

Even if none of you did it, you must have heard some noise or her screams!

I heard the police sirens, and then somebody smacked me on the nose!

They thought I was making a run for it,

but I was just getting up after taking a dump!

The evidence is still there, assuming you haven't stepped in it!

This bloodstain did not come from your nose.

It's nose blood, I tell yal

- Does your blood drip so far down? - Yeah, what else?

You're the unlicensed parking valet at the dance club, if I'm not mistaken.

The club where you took the girl who was murdered five days ago?

That's the one.

Another murder.

It's uncanny, it happened right during my meeting with Inspector Edwards.

I was worried about you.

You giving a ride to that girl made me worry like crazy.

Don't forget I'm Dr. Herbert Lyutak, my dear.

A man worth his salt, even the police know that.

I love you madly.

And I love you even more every second that passes, Herbert.

Which part of your body lights up with love, Marzia?

Herbert... Herbert...

Here?

Or here?

I love you, Herbert.

Here, perhaps.

Or here?

Goddamit...

Trying to open the gate?

You son of a...

We had enough elements to detain him.

Sure, but I'll have the guy tailed to get some concrete evidence to nail him.

These people are always planning something, their minds are obsessed!

No, Herbert!

No!

No...

I just woke up from a terrible nightmare.

No, I can't do it. I love you.

I don't want to harm you.

I could never do it! Never!

I'm yours.

You can do whatever you want to me.

Marzia, I wrote you a card.

For our wedding anniversary.

Yesterday I forgot to give it to you.

Here.

You are my wife. I love you and you love me.

Alas, I'm an impotent lunatic. Let's break up, Marzia.

I don't want you to be unhappy, and I don't want to hurt you.

You can start your life anew. I'm no good as a man.

I'm a scientist, yes, but my wife is still a virgin,

and with utter sadness in my heart I ask you to break up.

I don't want to harm you. I love you.

I'll stay with you. I love you just the way you are.

You don't know what I'm like.

I can't tell you everything, Marzia.

Every day you spend with me becomes more dangerous for you.

You can do anything you want to me.

But I will stay with you.

Maybe the nightmare I just had showed me the truth about you.

But I love you just the way you are.

I love you.

Herbert... I love you, Herbert.

I don't want to break up with you, Herbert.

I love you just the way you are.

What are you afraid of? I love you. I am yours.

I am yours.

Herbert, don't. Don't do this...

No!

Herbert!

You hyena! I'm sick of you, Herbert!

Hyena! You're nothing but a hyena!

Enough! Enough, Herbert! You are a hyena! A hyena!

Inspector Edwards? This is Herbert Lyutak.

I think tonight we'll be able to catch the murderer in the act.

- I have a man following him day and night. - Following who?

That parking valet from the club.

Oh, right. I have done some investigating on my own.

A metereopsychic investigation, as a matter of fact.

I believe I have guessed the time and place of the next crime.

If my prediction is correct,

he will hit in an hour at the park's swimming pool.

Will you be there as well, Herbert?

Yes, I deluded myself into believing I could cure this person.

I know him.

I thought a biochemical and chromosomal analysis could help him.

Alas, I did not succeed.

It's better to put an end to this, believe me.

Herbert, stay with me and let the police handle it.

I cannot miss it, Marzia!

That man could even Kill the person he loves!

There's even a chance he could cowardly retract his confession.

I must get him to confess tonight.

He wouldn't be able to retract anything if we catch him in the act.

It sounds like you're talking about yourself, Herbert.

No, but we could say that I'm talking about a dear friend of mine,

who grants himself certain liberties from time to time.

Stay with me, Herbert. I am yours.

Do what you want to me, but let's stay here together.
