- Your visits became less.

You don't show enough sympathy.

Lady Curtain misses your advice.

In what matter? Would you like a drink?

- No, thanks!

My husband's killer is still not caught.

- Scotland Yard suspects Archie Moore.

he is untraceable.

Can you explain that?

Can you?

He has friends who hide him.

Probably.

Visit me again.

- I will, Mylady.

You don't need to show me the way.

You love these animals.

You have to feed them.

How much longer with Archie, Doctor?

Less than 12 hours.

It's weird.

For every singel model,

I see another colour.

When I see you, I see red.

Hey! Red means love.

No. Red means blood!

Crime. I assiociate with every colour

a certain idea.

I was, and that's long ago...

- Please keep sitting.

Of course, yes. I was, and that's long ago,

just a common pickpocket!

Therefore, to see me in red, is unfair.

What's about blue or green?

I don't know about green.

- Another try, huh?

It's open.

Good day, Miss Fielding.

- Hello. Get comfy, please.

Oh, what are doing here, Finch?

Do you realize who that is?

You just said it: Mr. Finch.

Recommended by Mr. Milton.

He asked for a portrait. And he'll get it.

In red. So, enough for today.

When do you want to mark time again?

- Could you rephrase that?

I dislike "mark time".

- Well, when does suit you?

I'd like to say:
Tomorrow.

Inspector, do you like the picture?

Flattering.

- My first portrait!

So far there are only photos of me.

- I know the photos. Not pleasing.

because your photograph are dilettantes!

Good Bye.

Why did you go to Scotland Yard?

What did you intend?

Isn't that normal?

Murder in the family!

Did you get Archie Moore? Wasn't it him?

- Don't know. We didn't get him.

I know my cousin Archie.

He never did anything by free will.

And that is why

you should ask yourself:

What's behind that. Or who.

Do you have a theory? - No.

Why not?

- May I ask something, too?

You are the niece of Lord Curtain.

You live in this relatively...

cheap neighbourhood. How come?

- My uncle, Inspector,

was one of England's richest men.

And alike most rich men...

he had a bad habit:

He paid, but you had to obey.

I didn't want to obey,

so he didn't want to pay.

You hated him, huh?

- He was a pain. He was mean,

arrogant and treacherous. - The obituary

in the "Times" sounds more benevolent.

Yes, but untrue. Do you have time?

- Yes, why, of course?

I just want to change clothes.

I have been thinking about a motif

and did find one. - And what motif?

his wealth, of course.

Poor relatives are the worst people.

The murders will go on, Inspector.

Lady Curtain is next, I guess.

Oh...

What are you doing here?

- There is mold on the wall.

Edgar Wallace

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1 April 1875 – 10 February 1932) was an English writer. Born into poverty as an illegitimate London child, Wallace left school at age 12. He joined the army at age 21 and was a war correspondent during the Second Boer War, for Reuters and the Daily Mail. Struggling with debt, he left South Africa, returned to London, and began writing thrillers to raise income, publishing books including The Four Just Men (1905). Drawing on his time as a reporter in the Congo, covering the Belgian atrocities, Wallace serialised short stories in magazines such as The Windsor Magazine and later published collections such as Sanders of the River (1911). He signed with Hodder and Stoughton in 1921 and became an internationally recognised author. After an unsuccessful bid to stand as Liberal MP for Blackpool (as one of David Lloyd George's Independent Liberals) in the 1931 general election, Wallace moved to Hollywood, where he worked as a script writer for RKO studios. He died suddenly from undiagnosed diabetes, during the initial drafting of King Kong (1933). Wallace was such a prolific writer that one of his publishers claimed that a quarter of all books in England were written by him. As well as journalism, Wallace wrote screen plays, poetry, historical non-fiction, 18 stage plays, 957 short stories, and over 170 novels, 12 in 1929 alone. More than 160 films have been made of Wallace's work. He is remembered for the creation of King Kong, as a writer of 'the colonial imagination', for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, and for The Green Archer serial. He sold over 50 million copies of his combined works in various editions, and The Economist describes him as "one of the most prolific thriller writers of [the 20th] century", although few of his books are still in print in the UK. more…
