Helen and Mander walked away from the Yia-Yia's table. Helen hated having to do The Thing to the old woman, but she'd started to get upset when Helen showed her the photos. Nonetheless, there was a spring in her step from having her suspicions confirmed.
"You've just figured it out." Mander said to her as they walked back to Bessie. "Ain'tcha?"
"I think I have." Helen replied, taking out her phone and calling the studio. She asked if Tad Chase had been seen today and was told he was in his trailer. She instructed the person on the other end not to tell him she'd called and let her know if he left. The secretary informed her that he hadn't left the lot since the second day of shooting and would likely be around. That got Helen thinking of what else happened on the second day of shooting. When they got in the old convertible, she took out her phone and brought up last week's news.
"There was an incident on the second day of shooting." She told Mander as she found the video someone had taken of the scene. A man wearing a Nazi uniform was walking toward a college. Mander watched it over her shoulder as people came from the street and out of the building and began accosting him.
"Bold choice of dress." Mander said. "Keith Moon and one of his mates used to do that; dress up like Nazis and go into German bars just to start fights."
They watched the video pan to the car he'd gotten out of before recording started, where a group of elderly people were accosting the driver. The owner of the phone got in closer and she recognized Tad Chase behind the wheel.
"Wasn't like that." She answered. "He had a thing with his kid come up; didn't have time to change before leaving the set. This video made the news because of him. But Tad's just in the car, getting it just as bad if not worse. For driving the Nazi to the college, you'd think. But what if it's something else?"
She shut off the video. Mander started the car and started driving to the studio.
"It all comes back to Steven Spielberg." Helen told him as he drove. "And Eliot's 'Band of Brothers casting. He picked his actors based on the real people they'd be playing. Gino Giovanni was cast because of his resemblance to Vincenzo. Tad Chase was cast because of his resemblance to Werner Schell. But it's more than a resemblance! She knew Gino wasn't Vincenzo, but she thought these two were the same person. Tad Chase doesn't just LOOK like Werner Schell, he looks JUST like Werner Schell! That's what I think Eliot was on to." Helen replied, looking at the pictures of Chase and Schell. "He got to thinking the same thing I am now after that but he didn't want to come out and say it to me or anyone else until he could be sure."
"If that's why he turned to the Wiesenthal people, they wouldn't have had anything on Schell to tell him. They're too busy looking for living Nazis to bother keeping track of ones that died in the War."
"That's what I've been getting at." Helen replied. "I think Werner Schell faked his death and Tad Chase is related to him."
"You've just figured it out." Mander said to her as they walked back to Bessie. "Ain'tcha?"
