I demand to know

who you men are!

Are Y" Okay, Sophie?

Hey. I'm Arturo,

officer of the law.

As I said, he was once

in an asylum.

I don't know the details but

I heard it from several sources.

I wish I knew more, but I don't.

The sooner this is over,

the better.

Agreed, and by the way,

Francesco,

The Cat with the Velvet Blade is

probably my favorite film.

Grazie.

Is this what you

wanted me to wear?

Yes, yes, yes!

Yes!

What have you to confess,

my son?

I've had impure thoughts,

father.

I've wished for terrible

things to happen

and those things have happened.

Rey, is that you?

I'm losing control, father.

I can't tell what's

real anymore.

Can I ask you something, my son?

Of course, father.

What's it like on those

big fancy film sets?

I've always wanted to know.

I'm an editor so I don't spend

too much time on set.

- Too bad.

- Sorry, father.

You're married to

Josephine Jardin, aren't you?

The star of

The Mirror and the Guillotine?

Is she dead?

- Au revoir, Cesare.

- Bye, Cesare.

Cesare, Cesare, Cesare...

You almost sounded like

penis you have.

This is turning out to be a

great night after all.

See you later, Cesare, buddy!

Cesare...

Cesare...

Did you hear the

great news, Ciso?

I'm going to be a star!

Yeah, somebody killed

that foreign guy

and Francesco's going to

make me the lead.

Come see!

Editor, look!

Told you.

There you are, Ciso.

I'm not going to find

a better doppelganger

- than that foreigner so...

- Not now!

So Cal's our new hero.

Recut the film to make

Claudio look like his sidekick.

Yes, I could use some of

the footage Konitz gave me.

I finally got it out of the box,

it's uh, all black.

MY tape!

I guess I can

make another copy.

I noticed you're wearing

the same clothes as

you were yesterday, editor.

Is that because you weren't

at home last night?

I always wear

the same clothes.

And what about you?

You're wearing the

same clothes also.

I'm an inspector, Rey.

I have to wear the same

clothes every day.

If you're going to arrest

Rey can you do it

after he finishes the picture?

Francesco tells me that you

used to be in the madhouse.

Care to explain?

I had a nervous breakdown, yes.

It does not make me the killer.

Do you want tell me what

happened now or shall

we wait until we're down

at the station

and I'm booking you for murder?
