1:20:02
I've had to send to Bandleheim
for additional police.
1:20:05
Krantz, you report to Sgt. Schiller
at the lower gate.
1:20:08
- The crowd is becoming unmanageable.
- Herr Inspector.
1:20:15
[Knocking at door]
1:20:17
Come in.
1:20:19
Good evening, Inspector.
I thought that I'd see you sooner.
1:20:22
KROGH: Sorry. I've been busy.
Very busy indeed, for me.
1:20:26
My job is usually a rather sleepy one.
1:20:28
- Have a drink?
- Thank you, no.
1:20:30
I'm afraid I shall require
all the wits I've got tonight.
1:20:35
I've never seen you
disturbed before, Inspector.
1:20:38
- You've even forgotten to take off your hat.
- Not forgotten, Herr Baron.
1:20:43
Merely a matter of form.
1:20:45
My business tonight is official, not social.
1:20:49
Rather a crude custom, I agree...
1:20:52
but a custom.
1:20:55
Well, sir, what news from the front?
1:20:59
Another death. Another inquest.
1:21:04
When did it occur? This afternoon?
1:21:06
No. Sometime last night.
1:21:09
It was only discovered late this morning.
1:21:11
Herr Lang, this time.
1:21:14
The village apothecary.
1:21:16
A very old and dear friend.
1:21:19
He'll be mourned.
1:21:22
- Too bad.
- Yes, isn't it?
1:21:26
BARON: Herr Lang?
Never heard of him before. Oh, well.
1:21:29
I suppose the villagers will say
I killed him, just the same.
1:21:32
No, not that you killed him,
but that you know who did.
1:21:38
Really? But of course I know who did.
1:21:41
Haven't you heard? The Monster!
1:21:44
Yes, that's what they think.
1:21:47
Is it the old legendary monster
of my father's time...
1:21:50
or am I supposed to have whipped one up...
1:21:53
as a housewife whips up an omelette?
1:21:56
I've been here over a month, you know.
1:21:59
Your wife and child are in danger.
