"Listen, I've been trying to call 45-00-98 since 45 minutes... and it's been always busy." "I don't understand how it could be.." "Could you please check again?" "Please..." "I don't understand how a phone could be busy for such a long time." "You know, it's my husband's office." "He told me he would have gone late to work, today." "And I'm ill..." "and home alone." "I've been nervous all day long." "Hello?" "Albert?" "Albert?" "Who's there?" "Who's speaking, please?" "What number is this?" "Listen, I've just hanged up." "I was calling 45-00-98..." "They passed me the wrong number." "I get it, it was a mistake." "But I just listened to a horrible thing." "It was a murder." "We must intervene." "We must!" "I know!" "I know I shouldn't have listened." "There were two men speaking..." "They're going to kill a poor helpless woman she's alone, in a house next to a bridge." "We must find out the number." "What difference does it make?" "!" "I was calling another number, and you must find out what number it was." "You're an idiot!" "I was calling 45-00-98." "You passed me another number." "I heard them." "They didn't hear me!" "I'm asking you..." "to make the same mistake." "Try to dial 45-00-98... with the same disregard as before." "Thank you." "Listen!" "Sweetheart..." "Why don't you try to make the same mistake and dial the wrong number?" "I think I explained the situation clearly." "And all you did was dialing the old number." "Could you forget the number I told you, just for a moment?" "I'd like to rebuild another number." "Hello, good evening." "Could you please restore the telephone relay?" "As soon as possible." "I don't know who nor where." "But there were two men speaking." "They were planning a murder." "Tonight." "11:15" "Of course it's finished." "They talked only few minutes." "They's not big-mouth." "Hello." "Police?" "It's about a murder." "No, it's not been committed yet, but I heard their plans on the phone." "An operator passed me the wrong number." "Are you listening?" "I tried to reconnect to that number by myself..." "I think you're the only one who can do it." "It's a slay." "There were two men speaking." "They want to kill a poor woman living in a house next to the bridge." "It's scheduled for tonight." "At 11:15." "There's a third man, too." "He's paying for the crime." "They're going to take her rings and bracelets and to kill her." "With a knife." "I'm ill." "I'm restless." "Can you do anything?" "Do you get me?" "Eight minutes ago" "Do you really get me?" "Yes." "45... 00... 98..." "But 45-00-98 it's my husband's office." "He's working till late today." "I called him to ask if he could come back home earlier" "I'm forced in bed." "Today the nurse has her day off." "I can't stay alone... even though my husband says I'm completely safe... untile the phone is plugged in." "But at the telephone... exchange... they say they can't check when we both hanged up." "I already tried it..." "But there are more urgent problems than tracing a phonecall." "What for?" "In the meantime the murder will be committed." "I asked them to start an investigation right away." "I live by the bridge and I know... that I would feel better, a lot better if you'll send here a colleague, immediately." "No..." "I don't know." "It would be an incredible coincidence." "So I tapped the conversation on the connection." "Of course I understand." "Sure, I understood." "Me?" "Why on earth is anyone going to kill me?" "I'm always alone." "I never meet anyone..." "except my nurse." "And my husband, Albert... he loves me and he stayed with me... since I got ill..." "12 years now." "And what are you going to do?" "Because it's late now." "Maybe you could inform by radio a police car ?" "Idiot!" "The health officer, please." "I have an urgent need of a skilled nurse." "Nerves." "I got a nervous wreck." "I'm home alone." "My husband is off." "Why all these questions?" "I have a desperate need of a skilled nurse." "I was your patient two years ago." "Ok, I get it." "But it's really necessary." "They left me home alone." "I can't get up." "Today I heard..." "a phone conversation... it...shocked me." "What time is it?" "It's not 11 yet, is it?" "My clock stopped, and I thought" "It's 11:15 yet?" "What was that?" "A click in the receiver." "As if someone picked up... on the other phone." "I heard..." "There's someone dwnstairs." "They heard me!" "They heard me!"
