Black Christmas (1974)
Black Christmas Hey, who leave the g*dd*mn front door open?
BARB: Oh, by the way how come I was the only one there working tonight?
PHYL: We're in it this afternoon, Barb.
A likely story.
How does it look?
Useless, very useless!
You got your Santa costume ready?
PATRICK: Yeah.
What time the little bastard arrive?
- At one o'clock.
- Terrific!
JESS: Hello?
Pardon?
Who?
Barb, it's for you.
Long distance.
Oh, great.
I'll take it in the other room.
Could you guys shut up in there?
I can't hear a damn thing!
Hello!
Mom, hang on, I can't hear you.
Operator, I can't hear.
What's coming from the other end.
Can you...
Yeah.
All right, let's see!

Bye bye!
Oh, operator, I still can't hear.
All right, Mommy!
I can hear you now.
No, we just having a little party.
No, I had a couple.
Oh, come on, I'm not drunk.
No, no!
Uh, I had some stuff I had to do in the afternoon.
And then I was just gonna get the 720 train to the city.
Oh, come on, you got to be kidding.
Why can't I come too?
- Well, who the hell is he?
- Good night.
- See you next week.
- Okay.
Hey, call before you come.
I have to get my parents pick me up.
I'll just get a couple of my friends and we'll go.
Okay.
Yeah, sure I'm inviting her.
I'll see you around.
Hey, Chris, wait up, I need a ride.
Put the Christmas music back on.
You wants to go skiing for two days?
Yeah, sure, Barb.
My mother save me a place at Mt.
Holly.
You know who else wants to come?
- Yea, sounds like fun.
- Great.
- What about you Clare?
- No thanks, Barb.
I made some another plans.
Okay, I'll come get it.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello!
Hey, quiet!
It's him again!
The monas.
It expands into zag.
Must be one person?
No, Clare.
That's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir doing their annual obscene phone call.
Shh ...
Big c**t!
Yeah, big c**t.
You big c**t....
Let me lick it!
Lick it!
Lick it!
Let me lick your pretty piggy c**t!
Pretty big c**t!
Pretty big c**t!
I can bring you a big brake.
How many can you f*ck, lady?
- Uh-uh, not bad!
- Welcome my choosy cock!
I'll come over.
I'll come over...
so you can...
f*ck it, f*ck it.
Listen you pervert!
Why don't you go over to Lambda-Ko?
They could use a little of this.
Piggy c**t, you want my fat cock...
So, why don't you just go find a wall socket and stick your tongue in it, that will give you a charge.
I'll stick my tongue up your pretty p*ssy.
You f*cking creep!
I'm going to k*ll you.
Well, super-tongue strikes again.
Fastest tongue in the west.
That's sick!
I really don't think you should provoke somebody like that, Barb.
No question!
This guy is minor league.
In the city I get two of those a day.
Maybe.
See, like a town girl who was r*ped a couple of weeks ago.
Darling!
You can't r*pe a townie.
You really are too much, Barb.
Come on, this is a sorority house, not a convent.
I'll see you later.
I'm gonna go pack.
Come on, Clare, she didn't mean anything.
No, really Jess, it's okay.
I have to finish packing anyway.
Haven't she had enough trouble sitting in here without you getting at her all the time?
Come on.
I know professional virgin when I see one.
Hey, I can't get my hands out here.
Speaking of professional virgins ...
Here we have, the queen of bozes.
Where have you been?
I have been shopping.
You know how the store is most spectacular at this time of year.
Another charge up to buy these, honey.
Mrs.
Mac, come on to the other room, we got a surprise for you.
Where have you been?
See Mrs.
Mac has been looking all over for you.
Oh, little puss!
Hello.
Oh, will you get someone to see you?
Okay.

Hey, you bet!
Okay, girls, party is over.

Good night, good night.
Merry Christmas!
Jess, you girls are just too good to me.
Oh, noisome, Mrs.
Mac.
Hello?
- Hello, is Jess there, please?
- Yes, wait a second, Peter.
Jess, it's for you.
It's him.
Hello?
Hi, how's the party?
It was good.
Too bad you couldn't make it.
- I had been practicing for four days straight.
I am really wiped out.
- Yes, I know.
Jess, dear ...
You won't forget to put off the lights.
You've got to plan some time.
I've got to talk to you.
You sounds funny.
What's the matter?
Nothing is matter.
I just want to talk to you.
Why don't you tell me now?
Because I want to talk to you, face to face.
Jess, I haven't been to bed in three nights.
And it's not the mood to be playing games.
Look, Peter, we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?
- Okay, I'll be in room 30, all day.
- Alright, I'll see you around 2:00.
I just mean, uh, shortly.
I get some exhausted, okay?
Yeah, it's okay.
- I love you.
- I know.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah, well, goodnight.
Jesus, so it always found my liver!
Clare?
Clare?
Veno takes the dolphin Gabee's on her hygene Dongde said to Resiskin To wrap this baby in....
MAN 1: Oh, thank you.
It's okay.
MAN 2: Sorry, I should have been keeping a better watching at them.
- I think so.
- Yeah, well, I said I was sorry.
Excuse me!
I hate to bother you, I can see that you are busy.
But I wonder if you can help me?
You see, I'm suppose to meet my daughter here at 1 o'clock.
It's half past now, and she's still not here.
Here name is Clare Harrison, do you know her?
Clare Harrison?
Yeah, I think so.
I know she lives in a sorority house.
It's called, uh...
Pi-Kappa-Sigma.
Oh, of course.
Kappa is a sister sorority.
Some other girls were over here today, but I haven't seen Clare.
The place isn't far, I will tell you how to get there.
Ho, ho, ho, shit!
Santa, please.
Look, she's supposed to be going out with me for this weekend, God dammit.
Well, we decided that we'll go skiing for a few days, you know?
Yeah, I've been looking forward to this for three weeks.
Bitch.
Isn't Santa naughty?
Ho, ho, ho, f*ck.
I just don't know, Mr. Harrison.
Her clothes are all packed and ready to go.
I'll take you to the common room.
They're having a party today for underprivileged children.
Yes, I know.
I am very disappointed in this atmosphere.
I intend to do something about it.
Who is this?
Uh, that's a friend of Clare.
Very nice young man from the town, Chris Hayden.
I didn't sent my daughter here to be drinking and...
picking up boys.
Oh, Clare is a good girl, Mr. Harrison.
I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea about that.
She is a good girl.
I am sure you will find her in the fraternity house.
As a matter of fact, I could show you the way.
I have to go to a store near there.
If you wouldn't mind giving me a lift.
I know where it is.
And I will be glad to give you a ride.
This is very kind of you, Mr.
Harrison.
I'll just get my bag.
"I didn't sent my daughter here to be drinking and picking up boys." Tough shit!
I was supposed to be responsible... for the moral of every girl in this g*dd*mn house.
This bronze.
The leaning tower of Pisa if they can get up there.
I'll do my best.
I don't know what the bastard expect of me.
For Christ sake!
Claud?
Is that you, Claud?
Claud?
Here kitty, kitty, kitty!
Come on Claud.
Come say goodbye to mommy.
Is that you, Claud?
Oh, Jesus!
Claud, look what you made me do!
Stop it!
Come on Claud, here kitty, kitty, kitty!
Come on Claud, I got to go!
Here, kitty!
Oh, God dammit, Claud, you're a little prick!
This is very kind of you, Mr.
Harrison.
I think I will get out of here.
I am pregnant.
What?
I'm pregnant.
Hey, Jessica, that's fantastic.
I don't want it.
You don't want it?
No!
I want to have an abortion.
You can't made a decision like that.
You haven't even ask me.
I wasn't even going to tell you.
Jess.
I want us to have a baby.
Peter, I can't!
Oh, Christ, Jess.
Don't you ever consider anyone but yourself?
I've thought this out very carefully and I know what I'm gonna do.
Do you know how important this afternoon is to me?
Yes, I do.
Why don't you just get out of here.
Jess!
I want to talk to you tonight.
There is nothing to discuss, Peter.
- I think there is.
- I'm not going to change my mind.
We'll see.
Will you be there at 9 o'clock?
- Yes.
- Okay, I will see you tonight.
Yes, dear.
I am sure there is nothing wrong.
Yes, I just been talking to a friend of hers.
She's going to call her out for me.
Yes, well, if we don't have any luck, I'll go to the police.
Yes.
Well, I don't think I'll be able to go home tonight.
It's a bit late to head out now.
BARB: Let the grown brother snag it a little bit.
Yes.
Good-bye, dear.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello!
Oh hell, not again!
Billy.
Billy?
Mm!
I'm sorry, you have the wrong number.
What your mother and I must solve is...
Where did you put the baby Agnes?
You got the wrong number.
Where did you put Agnes, Billy?
Look, I'm telling you, you have the wrong number!
Why can't mother and I might go in?
Billy!
You guys can never get it if you don't even try.
Look, I really don't.
You get thing that go so seriously.
Sincerely, I need-- I know what we may hear a non specific.
Hold it, hold it!
Jesus!
Could you just give it to me one at a time?
BARB: Well, what the hell are you planning to do about it?
You...
shut up!
You know, for a public servant I think your attitude really sucks.
Shut up.
Now, Mr.
Harrison, if you convinced that your daughter is missing, you can fill up one of these forms.
I don't know if there's any consolation, but 90% of the time girls who reported...
...missing from the college, they're out of campus somewhere with their boyfriends.
Thanks, but that's not much of a consolation.
- Oh, here for my gladdy help.
- Thank you, dear.
You know we got to get Mr.
Renzic fix this door.
I must have to call that son of a bitch a hundred times about this.
Mrs.
Mac, there was another one of those calls just now.
Oh, what, my dear?
It's weird!
Some woman screaming, then a man wailing.
Clare Harrison's father was here today.
Oh, really?
I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to her.
Well, you still might.
Clare didn't meet him where she was supposed to.
Ah, I thought she was over to the fraternity.
Where is it?
I bought in some fishes.
Oh, shit!
You're, mister!
- Excuse me.
- Um-hm.
Could you give me the number of the sorority house?
Please!
Yeah, sure.
It's, uh...
Fellecio - 2 0 8 8 0.
What?
Fellecio.
It, It's, uh-- It's a new change.
FE (f*ck Everybody?).
Sounds none on me!
How do you spell it?
Capital 'F', 'e', little 'l', 'l' 'a', 't', 'i' 'o'.
Thanks.
Don't mention it.
JESS: Chris!
Break!
Hi, what's up?
- Have you seen Clare today?
- No, she went home.
No she didn't.
No one knows where she is.
CHRIS: Are you serious?
I thought maybe she was with you or at least you might have heard from her.
No, not since last night.
Well, her father came to pick her up at 1 o'clock today and she didn't show.
So he went down to the police station with Phil and Barb.
What happened?
- They didn't take it seriously.
- Why?
I don't know.
I think they finicky shut up somewhere.
WOMAN: Well, uh.
She is out for Christmas holiday, but... there was a bad practice over at the highschool this afternoon, then.
She... just played the piano.
And, uh, when she didn't come home, mine, I thought Melody being after her.
Best friends.
And, uh, they haven't seen her all day.
She is only 13 years old, Lieutenant, and-- My husband is a trucker and he is out on the road, and so I came over here.
Was it really so unusual for her to be just a few hours late, Mrs.
Quaife?
Oh, yeah.
She should have been home at noon.
We are going to buy a present for her father.
Nash, you stupid son of a bitch, you got a big g*dd*mn mouth!
What the hell are you talking about?
Hi Chris, how is your brother?
Can I get a talk to you?
What's up?
I want to know why nothing is being done about Clare Harrison being missing.
And why this... idiot gets away with saying the things he does?
You are a friend of Clare Harrison?
Yeah, I have been taking her out.
Oh, this is Jessy.
She lives in the same sorority house with Clare.
Alright, come on in.
Sergeant, bring me the file on the Harrison's girl!
And take care of this.
At least you should try to eat something, Mr.
Harrison.
You know, starving yourself isn't going to help the situation.
I don't know.
No, thank you very much Mrs.
Mac, but I just have no appetite.
I feel I should be doing something, but I don't know what.
Why don't you just try to stop worrying?
The best thing you can do is stay right here.
Michell shall call Clair show up soon!
In fact, I don't know what to do.
Did you know...
It's very little known fact, but... did you know that there is a certain species of turtle...
that-- There is a certain species of turtle...
that can screw for three days without stopping.
You don't believe me, do you?
Well, I mean how can I make something like that?
Barb, dear, I, I, I-- No, really!
They just three days, 24 hours a day,....
Can you believe that?
Three days?
Come on, if I get three minutes-- Do you know how I know this?
Because I went down to the zoo and I watch them.
It was very boring.
Well, actually, uh, I, uh, didn't stay for the whole three days.
I went over and I watch the zebras, because they only takes a few seconds.
Premature in sex,....
You think it's my fault, don't you?
Barb, stop it!
Don't shit me.
That's all what you all thinking.
Why not just come on out and say it?
You think that I drove her away, and if she is dead you're gonna blame me.
Barb, for God sake!
If that's all what we all thinking, why isn't someone just come right out and say it?
Barb, you have too much drinking.
Mr.
Harrison-- I don't give a shit out of Mr.
Harrison!
I'm sick and tired of everyone in this house enunciating stuffs and not coming out with what they mean.
Barb, why don't you go upstairs and lie down for a while?
Shut up!
And you leave me alone.
g*dd*mn you.
You think it's my fault that you have been employed all this afternoon.
Barb, you are drunk.
Go to bed!
Yea, sure, fine.
- Any news?
- Sure!
Where Mr. Harrison?
He's in the dining room.
- We won't be long, Mrs.
Mac.
- Alright, dear.
See you later.
- Phyl, Phyl...
- Yes?
- Listen, I'm sure Clare will be alright.
- I hope so.
And I'm just going to tell you that I'm going to go to my sister's for the holiday...
...so I might not be here when you get back.
Well, that's okay.
Just check out on Barb before you leave, could you do that?
Of course, I will.
And you bring a luck.
Yeah, we'll be all right, Mrs.
Mac.
Mrs Quaife and Mr.
Harrison have asked me to extend their thanks to you... for coming out this cold night to help.
Now, Mrs.
Quaife has told us that Janice most likely came through this park, on her way home from school today.
So the first thing we'll do is combing the park.
When I tell you, I want you all to assemble at the south edge of the park, with your assigned officer.
Then we'll just walk through the park.
Spread out evenly.
Don't punch up.
There will be two sets of dogs leading the way.
Just spread out and follow them.
George Karling, stay out from the flanks.
Teams will led up the dogs and stuff at more than ten miles an hour...
...while you're being get used to it.
Now if any of you find anything, I want you to send someone out immediately to report it to me.
Is that clear?
Are there any questions?
Okay, lets go.
Darling, always, last two cups.
Alright, I hear you!
Claud?
Claud?
Claud?
Claud?
Claud?
Claud?
Where are you?
How did you get up on the attic, Claud?
Shit!
All right, God dammit.
You can wait.
Claud, are you up here?
Jesus Christ, I don't see how could you be up here.
Come on!
Jesus, Claud ...
Now look at what you make me do.
Jesus...
I've got to clean this place up some day.
Claud?
I can't see a damn thing.
Claud, god dammit, Claud, I'm going to have you fixed.
Hey!
Anybody there?
Anybody there?
I'm gonna have to split.
Peter is coming around and I'm late already.
- It's cold.
- We'll coming home soon too.
I am freezing.
- We'll let you know if there is anything happen.
- Bye.
- Yes, is that my baby?
- Don't leave your place, stop!
Janice!
No!
Janice!
Janice, Janice!
Coming, Janice!
Janice!
Janice?
Hello?
Hello?
Who is this?
Oh, help!
Please, help me!
Oh, come, please!
Help, please!
What do you want?
Why are you doing this?
Trust me, babe.
I got g*dd*mn Mrs.
Mac.
Will I bury in bag?
Who are you?
For God's sake, what are you doing?
I know what you did, Billy!
Stupid Billy!
Billy!
Billy!
Mad!
Stop this!
Jesus Christ, Mrs.
Mac?
Mrs.
Mac, are you home?
Mrs.
Mac, are you up there?
Yes, hello?
I had been getting obscene phone calls, and I want to know what can be done about it?
Yes alright, I'll hold.
But only for a moment.
Peter, Jesus, you scared the hell out of me!
Why don't you say something?
Yea?
Well.
You scare the hell out of me too.
What's all the yelling about?
I've been upstairs having a little sleep.
Hope you don't mind, but I'm got a little cold up there waiting for you.
- Sorry, I was late, Peter.
- Yeah.
Clare Harrison is missing.
I was out with the search party looking for her.
Yes, hello.
I want to report something.
No, I don't want to hold!
- How does the recital going?
- How do you think it was?
Peter, what kind of a game are you playing?
I thought you wanted to talk.
So why don't you quit attacking me and we try to have a rational adult conversation?
Yes, now I stay on the line.
Okay!
Now calm down, lady.
Let's tell the story.
Oh, yeah?
What's the address?
6, Belmont Street ...
How many calls?
Well, did you call the phone company?
Oh, yeah?
Well, miss, we're very busy here.
There has been a child m*rder*d in the park.
I don't know when we can get them out of it.
Probably just one of your boyfriend playing a little joke.
Yeah.
Well, I'll report it and try to get them out as soon as possible.
I'm sorry, miss.
Jess, what's wrong?
A little girl was found m*rder*d in the park.
What?
The search party that was looking for Clare found the little girl m*rder*d.
And Clare is still missing.
Clare is alright.
Is she?
Now listen Jess, I know you're are upset.
But I've got something to tell you.
I'm leaving the conservatory.
- Peter!
- Now, you just hear me out.
Will you hear me out, please?
I live in one room for 8 years and I'm tired of it.
I'm tired of having to line up behind six people everytime I want to take a bath.
I'd had it.
I am quiting the conservatory and we are getting married.
Well, say something?
Do you remember when we first met?
You told me about you're wanting to be a concert pianist.
That was your greatest dream.
And I told you about some of the things that I wanted to do.
I still want to do things.
You can't ask me to drop everything I've been working for...
...and give up all my ambitions, because your plans have changed.
Be realistic!
I can't marry.
Sure you can.
What is the change?
We could be married and you can still do anything that you wanted to do.
Peter, I don't want to marry you.
Alright!
What about the baby?
- I didn't want to bother it with you, sir.
- Oh, you didn't.
No.
6 Belmont Street, that's where you daughter is?
Yes, it is.
A high school girl has been m*rder*d.
Mr.
Harrison's daughter is missing.
And now that the house where she lives keep getting out obscene phone calls.
Don't you think we have to look into it?
Well, lieutenant, I guess.
Sure.
Thank you, Lieutenant.
Yeah, thanks, gentlemen.
Sergeant Nash.
Could I speak with you for a minute?
Yeah, sure, Lieutenant.
What's this?
That's the number of the sorority house.
- "Fellecio"?
- Yeah, the newest change, "Fe".
You don't understand?
Yeah.
"Fellecio." One of the girls that was in here afternoon gave it to me.
- She gave it to you?
- Yes.
Nash, I don't think you could pick your notes without written instructions.
I know.
Something dirty in it.
You're a selfish bitch.
You're talking about k*lling a baby, though you're having your womanhood.
Now can you see why I didn't want to tell you.
- What the hell are you trying to do to me?
- What are you doing to yourself?
Jess, Let's get one thing straight.
You are not going to abort that baby.
Peter, you're not going to tell me what I can and cannot do.
- Jess, if you try getting an abortion-- - I think you better leave.
- If you are trying to get an abortion-- - I said get out.
You get to be very sorry.
Hi, Peter.
I'll get Jess.
- Jess, are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
Any more news?
No, but there are some people here to see about the phone calls.
- Jess, this is Lieutenant Fuller.
- I'm sorry.
And Graham, Bill Graham.
- Uh, you leave present phone station within?
- Yes.
I would like to put a tap on your phone, but I need your written permission to do that.
Is that okay with you?
Okay.
Okay, Grahdy, go ahead!
I'd like to see Clare Harrison room.
Where is the telephone?
There's one in the living room and one here in the hallway.
Clare's room is up here.
- How many girls live in this house?
- Ten.
Hello, this is lineman Graham, at 6 Belmont Street, I'm working line 5596114.
Great!
This afternoon, I got a call from a woman and I thought it was a wrong number.
But then she started screaming at me.
Who was the last one here to see Miss Harrison?
- I think I was.
- When?
Approximate!
Last night, about 10:30.
- Is this the way she left her room as far as you know?
- Yes.
- What's this?
- We're having a party last night.
- She drink a lot?
- No, hardly at all!
Does she have any emotional problems, anything like that?
No, not Clare!
Who is she seeing besides Chris Hayden?
- With no one.
- You sure of that?
So, you're the last one who see her sometimes this morning?
- Last night.
- Right, last night.
Has anyone seen her this morning?
- No?
- I didn't.
All the others girls are gone for the holidays.
Can I get a list of their phone numbers where I can reach them?
Sure!
There is one in Mrs.
Mac's room.
- Who is Mrs.
Mac?
- She's our house mother.
- Is there anyone in the house right now?
- Yes, another girl, Barbara Coard.
She is upstairs asleep.
She is not feeling too well.
- Is she the one that was at the station today?
- Yeah.
Yeah, well!
Let her sleep.
Were there any deliveries yesterday, or was anyone working in the house, anything like that?
No, I don't think so.
Mrs.
Mac would know.
- Is all the sisters number on this list?
- Yes.
Grah, how is it going?
About finish?
Yeah, what I've done is I've tapped this phone so that when it rings, it will rings at the station now, too.
At the same time, I'll be at the phone company checking out on the location of the source of the call.
Are there any other phones in the house?
- Yes, the house mother has another one.
- Yeah, but it's on another number, and nobody is calling.
You're gonna have to keep this guy on the line as long as possible.
We got a mechanical system here and it takes a while.
I know it's not very pleasant.
Uh, girls, can I show you something?
- See the car outside?
- Yeah.
We got one of our men in it, so you got nothing to worry about.
Yeah, sure!
I'll get to say, I just know Clare is dead.
I can just feel it.
Come on now, Phil, we don't know that.
Poor Mr.
Harrison, I feel so sorry for him.
Hey, hey!
- How's Chris?
- Oh, he's okay, you know Chris.
I'm sorry, Jess.
I guess I'm just exhausted.
I've been taking these pills for my cold and they knock me out.
Will you be okay if I go up to bed?
Yes, of course.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, go up and get some rest.
- Call me if there is any news.
- I will.
Thanks.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Yeah, everything clear on you in jack.
Okay.
Sure!
Uh, yeah.
Now look, I'm gonna need about 10 more minutes.
Now be sure you tell those people again, they got to keep this guy on the line.
Right.
So there ain't more attack in the last two days.
If we settle, we'll look into that.
Thank you very much.
Graham's dealing with switching station.
When a phone rings at the house there, this phone ring too.
Kind of admitted to that ready move, so we won't take anything off auditorium this time.
Great, thanks.
- Lieutenant, someone from Scarborough.
- Okay.
Anything at 4:05?
Barb, what's the matter?
Easy, relax, you'll be okay.
It's okay.
I guess...
I guess...
I had a nightmare.
I dreamed a stranger, come into my room.
I guess this is why it gave me asthma, huh?
Don't take it too serious, it's just a kind of dream.
You should feel a lot better.
Jess, you go in my room.

Thank you.
Merry Christmas.
There was a little girl m*rder*d over in the park tonight.
Yes, I heard it.
Your phone's ringing.
44 versus 350, come on.
- Oh yes, excuse me.
Good night.
- Certainly.
Good night.
Testing.
Bill Graham.
Trace call coming in on Phone 9.
Hello?
Hello?
Who's there?
- No, Billy, no!
- Shit!
- Today.
- No, Billy!
- Today!
- No, Billy!
- Today!
- No way!
What your mother and I must know, huh?
You know that?
Just my caring, no ward, Velum.
Oh, my God!
Hello?
Jess, we didn't get him.
There wasn't enough time.
You'll have to keep him on the line longer.
Oh, I see!
When you said: "Oh, my God," did you recognize something?
No, I just feel like it's getting to me.
When he called before, did he used more than one voice like this?
Yes, yes, he did.
He used several different voices.
Jess, I'm gonna ask you, who was the guy that was just leaving when I arrived in your house?
- My boyfriend, Peter.
- You have everything fine?
MAN: What a g*dd*mn assh*le!
Jess, I'll have to call you back in a little while.
Are you alright?
I'll call you back in a little while and we'll go get him next time.
- Bernie!
- Yup?
- Call a doctor.
MAN: I don't let no son of a bitch...
...trespass on my land in the middle of the night!
- I don't care what kind of uniform he wear!
- What the hell...
- ...is going on here?
- He fired on a police officer.
You g*dd*mn right!
I'll do it again too!
The bastard was trespassing!
How do we get an ass for the verge, Sarg.
Yeah, I' gonna make the son of the bitch pick everyone of the mother in chief.
The next time, you're gonna get the gut of your ass Tommy boy!
If knew that, we can not burst in the boycott, I swear!
If you think it was Peter, then why don't you just tell the police?
Well, because I'm not really sure.
Well, he should be stopped.
Whoever it is, it should be stopped.
God!
I just didn't even have a minute sleep around here.
There has been so much noise in the house.
What the hell was all that yelling about?
Barb has a asthma.
She's having a nightmare.
- Is she alright?
- Yes, she's fine.
She's sleeping now.
He repeated almost word for word what Peter said to me tonight.
- Could it be just be a coincidence?
- Oh God, Phil, I don't know.
I was so confused.
Oh, look Jess, I really don't think it could be Peter.
You know I don't like Peter much, but I don't think he's that sick.
I don't believe Peter would do this.
He's so gentle most of the time.
Oh, God!
Phyl, you know I'm really getting scared.
Look, are you sure that cop is still out there?
Yep, he's there.
Hello?
Jess?
Yes?
I cry a little bit.
Look, Peter, Don't cry.
We just straighten things out, there's nothing to get so upset about.
- Yeah?
- It's Bill Graham.
You want me to trace that one?
- Yeah, try and get it.
- Right.
Jess, we can't do this.
Please, Jess?
Jess, Jess!
My baby.
Peter, where are you?
Please, Jess!
You got all I feel about the baby.
Don't do this.
Jess, don't hurt the baby.
- Stop this, Peter.
- You have a baby...
God, I know it, do I tell you just to save the baby.
Jess, please?
Hey, please tell me where you are.
Shit!
I'm sorry.
Yeah, the call just not long enough.
Right.
Yes?
Jess, Lieutenant Fuller.
You want to tell me what's that all about?
- You listen to that?
- Yes.
What did he mean about k*lling the baby?
Jess, it's important that you tell me.
I'm pregnant.
I told him I didn't want to have the baby.
When did you tell him this?
Today.
Just today?
You're sure?
Yes.
"We can't k*ll the baby", that's a strange way of putting it.
Peter is an artist.
Day night drunk!
Neurotic, maybe?
No!
No more than a lot of people.
Jess, are you telling me the truth?
I've got a feeling you are holding something back from me.
Now, I don't want it to be Peter.
But if it is, he needs help.
Do you know what I mean?
The sooner the better.
Now look, think back!
Was Peter with you any of the time since you got one of these calls?
Yes.
Yes, he was here.
He was at the house tonight when the first call came.
That's right, it couldn't be Peter.
Phyl, it couldn't be Peter.
He was here.
He's obviously upset about something.
I'd like to talk to him.
Can you tell me where can I reach him?
Uh, well, he lives at the Baker's House.
But when he gets like this, he usually goes on to the recital hall at the Music Conservatory.
Look Jess, if you get any more calls, you're gonna have to keep him on the line longer You're not giving us enough time to get a trace.
I'm trying, you know it really upsets me.
- All right, of course.
Look, you're doing fine.
I'll talk to you later.
- Okay.
- Thank God.
- I know it couldn't have been Peter.
Well, what can I tell you?
We covered the entire campus area, and working our way towards the lake now.
Where do we go from there?
Start them out from the south end of town, have them walk through way to town, then from house to house.
Jess, you want one aspirin or two?
- Two, please.
- Okay!
Jess!
Jess!
What are you doing?
Some kind of search party.
I'm sorry to scare you, miss, but we are with the search party.
What do you want?
Well, we wondered if you see anything peculiar tonight.
Not until you got here.
Phyl!
Well, they scared the shit out of me.
Sorry, miss, but you do know that there was a girl k*lled in the park tonight?
Yes, we heard.
We are just helping the police to look for the k*ller.
Well, we don't do anything to help you.
Our dog died last night, too.
Awfully!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
We don't want to bother you at the time like that.
We were just wondered if you notice anything suspicious here tonight?
Oh no, sorry.
Well, you just keep your doors and windows locked.
- And you will be safe.
Do you understand?
- Okay, thanks you.
We will.
And remember there might be others from the search party around.
So don't be afraid.
We'll be around seeing that you are safe.
- Well, Thank you.
- And remember to lock those doors and windows.
I go to pick the k*ller!
Seriously, are you sure all doors and windows in the whole house are closed?
Nash!
Get the dean of administration on the phone.
Tell him I want all the records on the Peter Smythe, a music student.
And have a car meet me out front.
Barb?
Are you awake?
Phyl!
Are you there?
Phyl!
- Hello?
- Hi.
You pig!
You bad pig!
You pig!
You bitch pig!
No, Billy.
Don't.
- Please?
- You get to hear it!
Ouch!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Billy!
Billy, get out of here!
Where's the baby?
My baby!
Billy, leave me alone with this!
- Billy!
- Where's the baby?
Yeah, you got to tell me!
Where's the baby?
Where?
Where?
Lieutenant!
The guy is on the phone again!
Come on, deadly sick!
I know you're in there, on that baby things.
You have to be a pig!
No, please!
Mommy.
- Come here!
- No!
What is it?
- I said!
- Uh-uh!
Give Mommy, it's the baby.
Baby is our way, Mommy.
You have to find out.
This is Graham.
It's 2140, terminal 55.
Come a hum, this is sucker...
You have the skin to wrap the baby in.
It isn't.
Lieutenant Fuller?
Yes, Nash.
What is it?
A phone coming is on the other line, sir.
They say they got a trace on this one.
Yeah, let's have it.
He said the calls are coming from No.
6, Belmont Street.
For Christ sake, Nash, you got it wrong.
That's where the calls are going into.
That's where they're coming from too, sir.
Oh, shit!
Jenny.
Jenny?
Jenny?
Hey, Jenny?
Jenny, where the hell are you?
Nash!
Nash!
Yes, sir.
Look, I can't get through to Jenny.
I want you to call that girl.
Nash, be calm.
Don't tell her that the guy is in the house.
Just tell her to put down the phone and walk straight out the front door.
I'll be there in 5 minutes.
Nash, if you blow this, I'll k*ll you.
Phyl!
Phyl, where are you?
Please answer me.
Hello?
Who is this?
It's Jess.
On Miss Bradford, this is Sargeant Nash.
Are you the only one in the house?
No, Phyl and Barb are upstairs asleep.
Why?
Alright, now I want you to do exactly what I tell you without asking any question, okay?
No, no, no, no!
No questions.
Now just put the phone back on the hook, walk through the front door, and leave the house.
What's wrong?
Please, Miss Bradford, please just do as I tell you.
Okay.
I'll get Phyl and Barb.
No, no, no!
Don't do that, Jess!
Jess, the caller is in the house.
The calls are coming from the house.
Jess!
Jess, get out!
And don't go upstairs!
Don't go upstairs, Jess!
Miss Bradford!
Miss Bradford!
Miss Bradford?
Miss Bradford?
Barb!
Phyl!
Barb!
Please, answer me!
Phyl, Barb!
Please answer me!
Please answer me!
Please!
Oh!
Oh!
Barb?
Phil?
Agnes, it's me, Billy!
Agnes, please don't tell what we did, Agnes!
Jess!
Jess are you alright?
Jess?
Jess, were you in there?
Jess?
Jess?
Jess?
Jess, is that you?
Jess, are you in there?
Jess?
Jess, is that you?
Jess, it's so unjust to me!
I thought you've already left?
Jess, you had me worried.
What are you doing down here?
Jess.
I knew it.
I knew it in my gut that it was that kid.
Why would Peter start k*lling people?
I don't know.
He must commit a call after...
after each m*rder!
It's hard to believe Jess would k*ll anybody but not Peter!
And she's under.
How long do you think it would be before I can talk to her?
Just a couple of questions.
Well, she'll be up for at least 4 hours, pretty grabbiest ahead.
- What time will her parents get here?
- A couple of hours.
I drive them down from Eglinton.
I don't say with its all ends.
But the condition that she's in, I wouldn't count on talking to her before tomorrow afternoon if I were you.
Did anybody help to find Patrick Cornell?
- Who?
- Phyl's boyfriend.
It's okay, I will do it.
Uh, Lieutenant!
I think we got to take these bodies to the morgue in Lincoln Ville.
The hospital doesn't have facilities to handle this many at one time.
All right, tell the coroner, they can start the autopsy right away.
I'll notify the parents for identification.
Yes, sir.
Uh, I think that'll wrap everything up here, sir.
State labs guys will be here in about an hour.
Reporters, sir, and television news guys are taking up pictures.
Get them hell out of here.
- Tell them I am down to the station, could you?
- Okay.
All right, you guys.
Come one, back off!
Back off!
Yes, the girl's father is upstairs, but he can't tell you.
Would you keep it down please, we got a sick girl in here.
Come on, get out!
Out of here.
Come on, come on!
Move it!
He is in shock.
Help me get him down stair.
He got to go to hospital.
You will be alright, Mr Harrison.
He's going to be diagnostic.
Get out everybody in the house!
Okay get a tight hand here.
Eventually, give us everything to wrap up!
- All right, Lieutenant, voulez-vous.
- Hey, Lieutenant.
Hey you!
Out!
Out!
- Go on Lieutenant, as I can.
- Move!
Jesus!
What's the matter with this guy?
He's suffering from shock.
We have to get him down to the hospital.
Can you get us a car, Nash?
Yeah, yeah, let's go!
All right, McArthy, you have a little time to schedule, all right?
Agnes!
It's me, Billy!
