Detailed Synopsis
Marcus Daly is playing piano with his jazz band when he tells them they are playing too cleanly and formal for jazz. At the European Congress on Parapsychology, Giordani, who is sitting next to Helga Ulmann and Bardi, tells the audience about insects and their use of telepathy. He goes on to say that humans are born with telepathy, but most lose the ability over time. He then introduces Helga to the crowd. Helga tells the crowd her abilities are not derived from magic, but she can detect things that are happening now or have happened in the past. She correctly identifies a set of keys an audience member has in his pocket and that his name is Pietro Valgoi. Helga suddenly screams out and detects a murderer is in the room and that the murderer will kill again. She mentions a children's song and villa and continues speaking as if she were the killer, telling another that they will hide the evidence and act like nothing has happened. After the conference ends, Helga tells Giordani that tomorrow, she will write everything down that she felt and she knows who the murderer is. The killer looks over a group of children's toys and puts on thick eyeliner after grabbing a knife. As Helga is talking on the phone, she hears children's music being played. She hangs up the phone when someone rings her doorbell and as she walks to the door, she lunges back from sensing the person on the other side is the murderer. The murderer breaks the door down and starts hacking at Helga with a meat cleaver. They then walk over to a table and take the notes Helga wrote on the murder. As Marcus is walking towards the Blue Bar, he sees Carlo, drunk, sitting outside nearby. Marcus tells Carlo he drinks too much and will die young, to which Carlo says he doesn't want to live a long life. Before going back to work, Carlo tells Marcus that while Marcus plays the piano for art, Carlo plays in order to make money.
