LAURA (Laura)

Tell me really what you like most, the flat or the portrait?

Both

I am a ladies man

but you should be an art dealer instead of being with the homicide squad

-You go to the boss,I'll join you later,Lt -All right

-See you later -So long

Laura

Danny

My God,you really scared me,McPherson

What are you doing here?

I read that you had finished with the investigation of the crime scene

There are still legal restrictions here, doesn't it make sense?

What's the meaning being the son of the caretaker

-How do I know that? -The caretaker will tell you

Where are the records?

I've also noted that,records being put there or records taken away

In both cases they are mine, she left me those records

-You got it in writing? -Verbal agreement

OK

Yes I need to get some information about the victim

What are you saying?

-Don't be stupid -Stupid ? That's what you have been doing

Yes, Miles Davis

That's right,she played that record on Friday

You were here on Friday?

You haven't told me that

I heard Miles from the outside

Overheard this?

If you don't believe me,check yourself

Don't laugh,I'll do that

Nice records,Danny

And if I hadn't attended the arena concert, this would not have happened

my mother would have gone crazy if I had stayed at house

Your mother?

Yes,she had bought me a subscription ticket and I had to sit it out

Sit it out? Danny,I thought you liked music

Tchaikovsky is not music

Tchaikovsky?

Pa-pa-pa-pa(intoning piano concerto)

So it was that and not Bach

Bach,why?

Stop playing the record

Danny,get going,and stop it

These records are not even available for you

He is

Oh,Mr Lydecker

I'm sorry for Mrs Dorgan that her son plays this horrible music

That was her favourite music

Regrettably she was a woman who had the most exquisite taste

And what do you want here,Mr Lydecker?

I was just going to ask you the same,

I'd read that the police had finished the work at the scene of the crime,

You haven't answered my question

I just wanted to spend a few moments alone with my thoughts

but that seems to be impossible

How did you enter here?

Our young friend

would increase his meagre pocket money by giving us access to the master key

At least nothing has been changed

What did you expect?

Chaos,whenever the keeper of the order has finished his work

The last five days I have tried to phantom what you are doing here,

read Laura's letters,her diary

and with your rough hands touch these delicate things

Yes,I have tried to find the murderer with my rough hands

Look out,the chair,it's better for your legs

Damn,how sharp minded you are

My soul has a sharp eye for the misdemeanour's of my fellow creatures

This was not a crime

Pardon me,an occupational insult

Yes,the "Dominic Band"

You are just telling me that you are the man with the silver fibula

Shin-bone

Mr McPherson have inspired me to one of my best short stories

I've never read them

That's a pity,perhaps you seem more appropriate for comics

for which you have time to read

I've read once from your stories but never more of that

Too intellectual for you?

No, too pompous

I write book reviews about those overvalued crime books

Mr Lydecker,for crime investigators, crime stories are too intellectual

If you were as sharp witted in your work

perhaps we could see Laura's murderer behind bars

Probably

And if Miss Hunt's friends were more co-operative than arrogant

Let me speak for all how hesitant we are

or should we direct your attention to the fact that the case is very complex

I've solved even more complex cases

Dear young friend,if you really want to solve Laura's murder

the first thing you must do is to decipher the secret of Laura's life

Excellent Dr Watson, please continue

Too much honour for me,Sherlock Holmes, I don't want to act prematurely

Ah,our Mr Groom

Good Evening

Good Evening

Hello,Danny

The homicide squad have given us a pledge

Good Evening

Good Evening

I just wanted to do a list of movables with Bessie.With your agreement McPherson?

Yes,Mr Carpenter,the flat is just released

Laura's sister is still off sick

so I have not wanted to bother her with the list of the movables

And you?

Why not ? I was engaged with Laura

Laura's sister knows exactly how long we were her friend

and that in this flat there is not a single thing

we haven't an extreme care for,

please enter Bessie

I would really like you to help me

Bessie,you stay there chained to the ground

I still see her laying at the floor in front of me

No,Bessie,no,please,pleased,and you say on the floor and not at the floor

Here,just here,I opened the door as usual

a movement with my feet,I look down, her whole face was shot off

Come,come,Bessie,don't think about that

It is still hot here

-Let us start with the clothes,Mr Carpenter -That's OK

What is it,Danny, don't we discuss where the ladies were?

You shouldn't care about your books, Laura promised me hundred records

So what?

The vultures,the vultures

I just want to ask you,Mr Carpenter

what did they play at the arena concert on Friday?

Bach why?

I tell you,thrown out of the first musical course,pa pa pa

,and that he thinks it's Bach

I will first start with cupboards ,Mr Carpenter

If you can read

look in the Friday issue of the paper, where the program is announced

But they played the program from Saturday instead

What are you saying?

I was there

You were at the concert?

The man that hath no music in himself,Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,

Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as nigh.

And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted

Shakespeare,thank you (Merchant of Venice)

So Mr Carpenter

Danny is probably correct

I was so upset that evening that I probably forgot what I heard

Human,the wonderful quarrels they had

Quarrel with whom?

With Laura but of no importance

Enough important for you to mix the Tchaikovsky concert with Bach

The quarrels promised really dramatic high points

she was really unhappy that she must leave before the final

-Danny -Mrs Dorgan,please come in

Mr Carpenter

-I thought,is Danny not here? -Yes,of course

Thanks,Danny

Oh,excuse me,Good Evening Mr Lydecker

Good Evening

I had no idea that anybody was here

Danny have you let in the guests?

No,I was here,Mrs Dorgan

Then everything is all right, please come my boy

Mr McPherson I hope you can instruct him to not enter here again

I have done that but he just came for her records

Can you understand that a young man with his musical background

only plays jazz music,and I would like him be weaned off from that

Mother,you can't

Mr Lydecker taste is of the most exquisite

and he has said that my son has an exceptional musical talent

Yes,you can see that in his face

Me and my husband have sacrificed everything

and even taken up this caretaker position

was to support his education, Bechstein piano have we got

of course second hand but with beautiful sound

Come along

He used to train six hours a day earlier

until she moved in,and then came to an end to the music

then it was just jazz,can't you understand that a stone fell from my heart when

Excuse me for,oh my boy come along

Excuse me

What was it Danny?

Jolly Roll Morton

You can get it everywhere

It was the only Jolly Roll Morton record with the Billy Carter solo

It's like you had one of your precious porcelain vases broken into pieces

Yes,I am very moved

Come now my boy,and I must excuse me that we have bothered you

Please,Mrs Dorgan,please

You should not forget that the navel-string is cut already at birth

Well,that's 20 dollars less in the inventory

20 dollar?

How interesting

We have got the Minor mass..Look out this vase is not included in the inventory

-Why not -It didn't belong to Laura

I distinctly remember

that she bought this vase as Christmas gift well wrapped up

But not as a gift

Every Christmas Ewe had we always brought borrowed gifts

which the other one wanted much, that was a form of a tradition between us

Are you sure you didn't invent this tradition just now?

The vase is part of my collection

and should be there,I can prove that,it was designated to me by Miss Haase

Despite this inventory I want the vase to stay here

Miss Hunt's estate is not yet registered legally
