Jigsaw

Are you asleep, Johnny?

I never knew anyone sleep as well as you.

Come to think of it, I haven't had much time to, have I?

You are asleep, aren't you, Johnny?

Oh sure, you're asleep all right.

Well, sleep then.

Oh God, I got the most terrible headache.

That's what comes with thinking you're not built for it.

Sleep!

Funny what you think of when you can't sleep.

Oh hell, not even a bloody aspirin.

What about me?

Don't I exist?

Oh, I'm sorry, Johnny.

I'm sorry I woke you up.

I'm glad you're awake.

You know, I don't exist except when you're there.

Even like now when you act fed up and bored with me.

Even now it's better for me.

Oh, do you want a cigarette?

Yeah, that's what it is.

For you I've sort of gone out of life.

To be your mistress, I've become no one.

No job, no friends.

I'm just a shadow--

waiting for you to make up your mind, Johnny.

Oh, stay with me.

Stay the night.

I don't want any money.

What do I want money for?

I want you, Johnny.

Listen to me, I didn't want to have to say this.

I wanted you to choose me for me.

And now you're gonna have to tell her.

Couple of months.

Oh, Johnny, Johnny.

It'll work out, you'll see.

Everything will work out fine.

Stay tonight.

This isn't any good, you just sort

of coming here in the evenings and going home again.

This ought to be your home.

Make the break, Johnny, make it now.

Stay with me.

It will work, you'll see if it--

Johnny.

Johnny!

Mr. Restlin?

Yes?

Sergeant Wilks.

Well, it's about time.

Lucky I wasn't being murdered.

You made the call exactly 40 minutes ago, Mr. Restlin.

We've been burgled.

Somebody must have put a fist through

and opened the door from the inside.

Morning. Morning.

This is Tenby, my letting manager.

Now, who found what, and what's been touched?

Well, that was me.

There's nothing gone there.

I opened it just to check.

I kept my gloves on, though.

I knew you'd want to take fingerprints.

They must have left prints.

Might have.

Any idea what's missing?

Yes, my leases.

They stole all my leases.

I kept them in here.

They've taken the whole folder. Leases?

They swiped the lot.

Is that all they took?

That's all.

So you can bring in your paraphernalia

and start taking those fingerprints.

Suppose we get some facts first.

So now, then, um, who discovered this?

Tenby found the window broken, called me,

and I called the police.

What time was this?

Oh, about 8:45.

Was the door open?

No, locked.

I let myself in and called Mr. Restlin right away.

Any idea who might want these leases, Mr. Restlin?

How should I know?

You're the policeman.

You're supposed to tell me.

Well, I say this is an amateur job, myself.

Where's the entrance to these flats?

Round the corner.

But why amateur?

No professional thief is going to break in

just to steal leases.

Who did it, then?

Anybody owe you a lot of back rent?

Anybody try to break a lease?

They've got a hope.

There's five owing back rent. Much?

Well, one family owes two months..

Hey, do you think someone's trying to pull something?

I'm only guessing, sir.

The people upstairs may have seen or heard something.

I can't believe someone would do this

just to get out of some rent.

Of course not.

It's daft.

Doesn't know his job, that's his trouble.

Any fool would know to take fingerprints.

I must say it's a bit odd just taking the leases.

They were probably disturbed before they

could get anything else.

We'll get someone down who really knows what he's doing.

Get me the police station.

Headquarters, yes.

Whoever's in charge.

Better report back, Ernie.

Right, Sarge.

Oh, and if a gentleman comes out full of pithy suggestions,

take unit back, right?

Now, Sarge, would I do that?

I don't know.

Just touch and go with me.

Hello, KG.

Hello, KG.

Message from KG 7.

Reporting shop break-in at estate agent's.

84 King's Road.

KG 7 over.

KG 7, message received.

Estate office 84 King's Road.

N2 KG in standby.

Over.

Tell Chief Inspector about this.

Hello, Katie.

Morning, Mr. Fellows.

How are all those plugs behaving?

Quietly so far.

How's the ankle behaving?

There is nothing wrong with my ankle.

My father says there's an age when every man should

stop kicking a football around.

Well, you tell your father--

Excuse me, sir.

Oh, Sergeant.

Sir?

Have you seen a gold nugget?

No, sir.

Well, here's the day's equivalent.

Third row, block 15 kickoff.

Should be quite a match, sir.

Yeah, we'll have the hide off 'em.

Mr. Fellows.

Superintendent would like to speak to you.

Well, in spite of everything, Katie, I'll

put in a good word for you.

Supe's looking for you, Fred.

I know.

He's probably heard about my ticket.

Ah, Fred.

Morning, sir.

Are you just going off or coming on?

On, sir.

I'm not off till this afternoon.

We've had a complaint I'd like you to look into.

What sort of a complaint?

Well, somebody had a break-in last night.

Complains the police aren't doing enough.

That's a change.

The usual complaint is we're doing too much.

A Mr. Restlin.

Estate agent, King's Road--

Who's in charge?

I don't like walking in on another--

From what I can gather, Sergeant Wilks will welcome

Uncle's calming influence.

Oh, so it's Jim, is it?

Well look, sir, Jim's a first class lad.

He knows what he's doing, all right.

I'm sure he does.

But we just can't ignore this.

Yes, of course.

But so far, with respect, sir, I've managed

to keep out of family problems.

This is our problem, Fred, and I'm asking you to look into it.

Yes, sir.

It might have been worse, you know.

I could have asked you to miss that football.

In which case, I might have had to bring my retirement forward.

I don't know what more I could have done.

No one around saw or heard anything.

This is all that was stolen.

I suppose we could circulate a description of those leases,

but to whom?

Do you know any lease receivers?

Well, what's eating this Restlin character?

Ah, I don't know.

He's fingerprint wacky.

Well, he's doing all right anyway.
