Hiya, Doctor.
Hiya, babe.
- Hey, where are you going?
- Inside, inside.
No, you ain't.
Only stiffs go in there tonight.
- No kidding.
- No kidding.
- What's keeping you out?
- I'm... What?
- Listen, we're pals, ain't we?
- Yeah.
Get a flash of that.
Yeah, well,
it won't do you any good tonight.
Now, look, I got me orders.
Nobody's going in there,
and that goes for you
newspaper guys, too. Now...
Sergeant, all I want to do
is identify a body.
Now, look, walk down the street, because
somebody might think I know you.
- Go ahead.
- That's an idea. Bones.
- Hello, Dee.
- Hello.
- Say, say, what's the hurry, big boy?
- I just want to use your telephone.
Oh, yeah? Well, there's one
down at the corner drugstore.
Listen, I haven't got time.
Will you be a sport? Come on, act natural.
All right, but step on it.
This is no telephone exchange.
Haven't I...
Say, didn't I meet you in Havana?
Yes... What?
Hello, World?
Give me the night desk, please. Yeah.
Willard Keefe. Yeah, this is Lee Taylor.
I'm down at the Mott Street Morgue.
Just now they bring in the body
of an old scrubwoman
murdered under very
peculiar circumstances.
No, they won't let me see it.
I can't get any dope. Police...
Very good. I say very... What?
I say I can't get any dope on it.
Police orders.
Just now, Stevens, O'Halloran
and a guy named Dr. Xavier arrived.
- Something's doing.
- Yeah, I've heard that one, too.
Listen, you lunkhead, I'm not clowning.
Look out the window, will you?
- What do you mean, the moon?
- Certainly I mean the moon.
it's another Moon Killer murder.
Well, that's different.
Now, listen, Lee, stick right on it.
Fine.
I thought I...
Oh, Rachmaninoff.
How about the Prelude, huh?
Hey, Mike, just a minute. Please!
Hello, Mike. Hey, listen,
what's going on across the street tonight?
I don't know a thing, Lee.
I'm walking my beat
and minding my own business.
- Well, have you got a cigarette?
- I never use them.
Here, smoke this. Paddy, the bartender
down at the corner, gave it to me.
- Oh, much obliged, Mike. Thanks!
- Yeah, no problem.
- Good gracious! What you got there?
- Nothing, just a little handshake buzzer.
You see,
fits right in the palm of your hand.
You wind it up like that, and it discourages
these professional handshakers.
I ought to have one on each hand
for my beat here.
- Well, I gotta be going now. Goodbye.
- So long.
I forgot all about that thing.
Don't ever bring any of those darned tricks
around here again.
What's your theory, Doctor?
Strangulation by
terrifically powerful hands.
You will notice how deeply the thumbs
are embedded in the sternocleidomastoid.
And what do you think of this incision
at the base of the brain?
Obviously made by some type of scalpel
used for brain dissecting.
But it's peculiar that this left deltoid
muscle should be missing.
- It's been torn right out.
- Gentlemen, it wasn't torn.
This is cannibalism.
- This portion of the body was...
- Impossible!
Thank you, Doctor.
I appreciate your professional opinion.
I'm only too happy to be of any service
to you, gentlemen.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have rather an important experiment
in progress
that demands my attention
every few hours.
of any further use to you,
so if you don't mind, I'm very, very sorry,
but I'll say good night.
Just a moment, Doctor, if you don't mind.
One thing more.
- Very well, sir.
- Yes, what?
Now, look here, Doctor,
this is the sixth murder
