A Black Veil for Lisa (La morte non ha sesso)

Lisa.

Inspector, they found Willy Zol.

Hello Bulon.

So they got Willy Zol as well?

It looks like a professional job.

Siegert tells me that, this is someone you were after hmm?

Yep.

Zol was almost our last hope of a lead to Schouermann.

Schouermann again?

Schouermann's behind most things

in the drug world these days.

Including this you think?

100%.

Kaufman and Reinhardt if you remember

were killed in exactly the same way.

Just when we were looking for them.

What?

Oh, the Commissioner is here.

Thank you.

Good evening sir.

Didn't you tell me

Willy Zol was the one man who might talk?

Yes, and I was right.

He phoned me at home tonight and said he wanted to see me.

I was waiting for him when the news came about this.

Waiting for him?

Why didn't you go out and grab him?

With all due respect sir,

I could hardly have known this would happen.

With all due respect to you, Bulon,

you had every reason to expect justice.

Very well sir.

I wish you better luck next time.

Let's go.

Goodnight.

Goodnight sir.

Now there's one lead sir.

A man from the beer house down the road

says Zol had a drink there tonight.

You wanna talk to him?

Yeah.

Just a moment.

Who's he phoning now?

Who do you think?

His wife, of course.

Oh hello darling.

So you've come home finally?

I rang you.

Why didn't you answer?

What?

Oh, I suppose I was asleep.

Asleep?

With the phone ringing in your ear?

So I wasn't asleep.

Maybe I let it ring on purpose, just to make you mad.

Or maybe I was out, with a lover.

Isn't that what you think?

Go on say it, I'm used to it by now.

Franz, are you still mad?

- Bulon, I want to ask you a very frank question.

What is wrong with you?

What do you mean?

I mean what is wrong with you?

Is it personal?

Bulon, what the devil is eating you?

Lisa.

Lisa.

Are you listening?

I said are you listening to me.

Yes, I'm listening.

Look here Bulon,

the Schouermann case has got to be solved, urgently.

And you are head of the narcotics division.

It all depends on you, if you are not well-

I'm perfectly well.

Alright, so I expect,

in fact I demand results, and quickly.

- Well it's easy to say that, we're doing all we can.

It isn't enough.

This town has got turned

into a key center of the drug traffic.

At the Ministry,

they consider Schouermann an international scandal

and in all this time, we don't even know

whether we're dealing with a man or a thing.

One brain or an organization.

You're doing all you can, are you?

But Willy Zol phones you up and says he wants to talk.

The only man who can really tell us what we want to know

and you, just sit and wait.

If you had moved, dear old Bulon,

you'd have had Willy Zol here this morning.

Your wife-

- My wife was cleared by the investigation,

completely cleared.

Otherwise, I'd never had married her.

I know but-

But nothing.

Will you excuse me sir?

I have something important to attend to.

- We are viewing last nights round up in Room A sir.

Want to see them?

The Rabbit.

I haven't seen him around for a long time.

Kruger, you start on him.

And don't be too polite, understand.

Where'd you get her?

- We picked her up from the roulette tables

in Fritz's at three this morning.

I want to talk to her.

Morning Bulon.

Oh hello Mansfeld.

You wanted to see me'?

Yeah, yeah, I'd like a word with you.

Get everything on tape.

From the direction of the wound,

I would say the killer's a tall man.

Pretty strong, judged by the bruise left by the knife hilt.

- And that's just about all we've got to go on.

No fingerprints, nothing.

How about the knife?

- Mass produced, like the raincoat and the gloves.

Cheap stuff anyone could pick up in a chain store.

What about the beer house?

You followed up on that, Siegert didn't you?

Yes sir.

- We searched the beer house dry and got exactly nowhere.

The owner says Willy Zol came in about half past 10

and had a couple of drinks.

He seemed a bit nervous, but no one spoke to him,

no one came near him.

It was 11 o'clock when he left and.

Is something wrong?

Huh?

Oh no, no nothing, no.

Sorry Mansfeld, where were we?

- It was 11 o'clock when Zol left the beer house Inspector.

- Excuse me. - What is it?

You wanted to see that girl?

Yeah.

Any luck with Strauss?

Nothing sir.

- Well, we seem to have drawn blank all round.

It seems so for the moment.

- Bring the girl in will you? - Let me know, sir.

If anything crops up.

I'll keep in touch.

Sit there.

Lisa.

What's your name?

Marianne.

Marrianne De Lomac.

How old are you?

19.

19.

And you take drugs?

- Then what were you doing at Fritz's Roulette?

Nothing.

Nothing, you weren't gambling?

No.

Who were you with?

Nobody.

Looking for customers eh?

No, I swear.

- So you weren't gambling, you weren't getting fixed

and you weren't looking for customers.

But there you were, all alone,

three o'clock in the morning, doing nothing.

Who sent you there?

Nobody, nobody sent me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yes you do.

Somebody sent you to see Fritz, to fetch something.

Now who was it?

You better tell me you know.

Right.

Tell me this.

What time did you arrive at Fritz's?

About, about half past two.

Siegert.

Yes sir.

What time was the murder?

Just after 11.

2:15 eh?

Yes that fits.

I've got the girl here now.

Says she arrived at Fritz's at 2:30.

Huh?

Oh yes, I got it.

No, no no, no alibi at all.

No, she just refuses to talk.

Hmm.

Looks as if I have to charge her.

Come on in will you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

There's been a murder Marianne.

A murder?

Yeah.

And you know, when we ask people questions

and they don't answer, we get suspicious.
