00:04:51Marcus.
00:04:53There was an outbreak.
00:04:55Chickenpox.
00:04:57Are you all right?
00:04:59I'm never ill.
00:05:02Anyway, let's forget about school.
00:05:06Welcome home.
00:05:09We're going to be good friends.
00:05:12Yes.
00:05:13Paul wants that more than anything.
00:05:18Now, you must be hungry.
00:05:20No, not really.
00:05:21I'd better go and unpack.
00:05:27What do I call you?
00:05:29Elise.
00:05:30Okay?
00:05:32Mm.
00:05:37Hi.
00:05:42Anything I can do?
00:05:44Get you?
00:05:45No.
00:05:46What would you like for dinner?
00:05:47Anything.
00:05:49Something special.
00:05:50There must be something.
00:05:52No.
00:05:56Do you actually read some of these books?
00:05:58Most of them.
00:06:00What's, uh...
00:06:03Phenology?
00:06:06The study of the times of recurring natural phenomena,
00:06:10especially those that appear to be related to climatic conditions.
00:06:16I like cold chicken and salad.
00:06:19So do I.
00:06:21Ice cream?
00:06:22Chocolate?
00:06:24Is there any other flavor?
00:06:27How old are you?
00:06:29Fifteen or fifty.
00:06:31Depends on how I feel.
00:06:34Twenty-five?
00:06:35Twenty-two.
00:06:36Why?
00:06:37Paul's forty-two.
00:06:40Yes?
00:06:42Mother was thirty-five when she died.
00:06:44Yes, I know.
00:06:46When I'm twenty-five, you'll be thirty-five.
00:06:59Marcus?
00:07:12Yes?
00:07:14Marcus, it's Paul on the phone from Paris.
00:07:18He wants to talk to you.
00:07:20Okay, come in.
00:07:32Hello?
00:07:33Hello, Paul.
00:07:35Yes.
00:07:36Chicken Pops, that's right.
00:07:39The flight was fine?
00:07:41Yes.
00:07:45She's very beautiful.
00:07:46That goes without saying.
00:07:49I'm sure we will.
00:07:50Quite sure.
00:07:52Okay, here she is then.
00:07:54She wants to speak to you.
00:07:56Paul?
00:07:57Huh?
00:07:58Oh, darling, it's a terrible line.
00:08:01What?
00:08:03Yes.
00:08:04Saturday night dinner with Clive.
00:08:08No, no.
00:08:10No, he'll understand.
00:08:12Huh?
00:08:18You don't have to explain.
00:08:21Paul.
00:08:23No, no, he'll understand.
00:08:26I must go.
00:08:48Marcus?
00:08:54Marcus?
00:09:00Grapefuzzle!
00:09:07Marcus?
00:09:12Marcus!
00:09:15Grapefuzzle!
00:09:37Oh, one for you already.
00:10:00Oh, a book club circular.
00:10:02Anything interesting?
00:10:03No, they're a nuisance.
00:10:04They even send them here.
00:10:05Anything for me?
00:10:06Don't think so.
00:10:07Here.
00:10:08Expecting one from Paris.
00:10:10You never know, you like.
00:10:12Do you want me to write to them for you?
00:10:14What?
00:10:15The book club.
00:10:16Take you off their list.
00:10:18No, let them waste their money.
00:10:30Oh, here, let me.
00:10:53Tell me if you feel queasy.
00:10:55Yes.
00:11:00Don't want you catching chickenpox.
00:11:02No.
00:11:06Right.
00:11:09Good.
00:11:13Marcus?
00:11:14What?
00:11:16Don't you have any friends?
00:11:17Of course.
00:11:20I meant around here.
00:11:24No.
00:11:25Not at all?
00:11:26No.
00:11:28Pity.
00:11:29Why?
00:11:30It's a shame to waste a pool.
00:11:32I suppose so.
00:11:34Paul and I use it so little.
00:11:36You look lonely all by yourself.
00:11:39I've got Trotsky.
00:11:41Marcus, that letter, Marcus.
00:11:45What letter?
00:11:47From the book club.
00:11:48I tore it up.
00:11:50Without opening it?
00:11:52Yes.
00:11:55You're sure it was a circular?
00:11:57Yes.
00:11:59Addressed to you?
00:12:01You're mysterious this afternoon.
00:12:04Just inquisitive.
00:12:06One of my biases.
00:12:09Salt.
00:12:10What?
00:12:12A pillar of salt.
00:12:13Lots, why?
00:12:14In the Bible.
00:12:16Turned to salt for looking back.
00:12:19What do you think he was so down for?
00:12:22Sounds like a slogan for a horror film.
00:12:25All virgins, bangs and hairy faces.
00:12:29Why do you try to talk like Paul?
00:12:32Do I?
00:12:33All the time.
00:12:39I can see your eyes.
00:12:42But you can't see mine.
00:13:42Did he like the book idea?
00:14:00So-so.
00:14:02What went wrong?
00:14:04Oh, it'll be all right.
00:14:10If I had chickenpox, I could stay in bed.
00:14:16Show me your tongue.
00:14:19Put it away.
00:14:22De Grey sends his love.
00:14:25He says you can come and work for him whenever you like.
00:14:28Lovely old lech.
00:14:59Why an English school?
00:15:02Odd question.
00:15:05Zara wanted it.
00:15:08Sorry, I didn't...
00:15:11Forget it.
00:15:14I'm going to bed.
00:15:17Good night.
00:15:20Good night.
00:15:23Good night.
00:15:26Good night.
00:15:29Good night.
00:15:32Good night.
00:15:35Good night.
00:15:38Good night.
00:15:41Good night.
00:15:44Good night.
00:15:47Good night.
00:15:51Hey.
00:15:54Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?
00:16:20Good night.
00:16:23Good night.
00:16:26Good night.
00:16:29Good night.
00:16:32Good night.
00:16:35Good night.
00:16:38Good night.
00:16:41Good night.
00:16:44Good night.
00:16:47Good night.
00:17:17Good night.
00:17:38Paul.
00:17:40Hmm?
00:17:43Is Marcus happy at school?
00:17:46Getting all parental.
00:17:49Has he got any friends?
00:17:51Of course.
00:17:54Know any of them?
00:17:57He isn't all cranium and pebble lenses.
00:18:01Surrounded by chest cells.
00:18:04He's a great kid.
00:18:08You only have to watch him.
00:18:10I do.
00:18:17He seems... distant.
00:18:19From a woman, that means lonely.
00:18:22All right. Lonely.
00:18:26He has his problems.
00:18:29Of course.
00:18:33It's too late.
00:18:36I'm afraid so.
00:18:39I'm afraid so.
00:18:42I'm afraid so.
00:18:45It's too easy to forget that he's only a child, 12 years old.
00:18:51He needs as much love, warmth, sympathy, understanding as any other kid.
00:19:02His mother's death must have stunned him.
00:19:06Of course it did.
00:19:08Was he very broken up?
00:19:12Very.
00:19:18I booked a table.
00:19:20Does Marcus know we're going out?
00:19:23We always do at the end of term. He loves Chinese food.
00:19:27Well, I'd better go and scrub his knees, or whatever it is 12-year-olds get dirty.
00:19:42I would like to learn Chinese.
00:19:44Why, for gross eggs.
00:19:46Then I could read Confucius in the original.
00:19:49Confucius?
00:19:51He gave the instructions on the training necessary to become a superior man.
00:19:55The great learning, it was called.
00:19:58Sounds hip.
00:19:59They had most things in perspective.
00:20:01Especially wives.
00:20:05Seven basic reasons for divorce.
00:20:07Disobedience, barrenness, lewdness...
00:20:10Jealousy.
00:20:12Garrulousness, leprosy, and stealing.
00:20:17No corruption or stupidity.
00:20:21Utopia.
00:20:27Did you borrow some money, Elise?
00:20:30Borrow?
00:20:32From my desk.
00:20:35Marcus paid for his car coming from the airport.
00:20:38300 pesetas.
00:20:41You told me... I thought you told me a thousand pesetas.
00:20:45No, Elise.
00:20:48Doesn't matter.
00:20:49I'm sure you told me a thousand pesetas.
00:20:52When?
00:20:54In the hall.
00:20:56I mentioned no amount.
00:20:58Look, forget it.
00:21:00How much is missing?
00:21:02Forget it. I shouldn't have said anything.
00:21:05I just thought that perhaps Consuelo...
00:21:08She's so honest, she wouldn't take a biscuit without asking.
00:21:11All right.
00:21:13I didn't have any Spanish money.
00:21:19Elise...
00:21:22Elise made a mistake.
00:21:27Would any of you feel insulted if I asked for a spoon and fork?
00:21:31I'm starving.
00:23:01Come on in, Paul. The water's lovely.
00:23:04Coming!
00:23:32Paul?
00:23:33Do you love me?
00:23:35Odd question.
00:23:37Do you?
00:23:38Of course I do.
00:23:40Why so serious?
00:23:42Do you love her?
00:23:43Very much.
00:23:45And her...
00:23:46Elise.
00:23:51Sorry.
00:23:52What's wrong?
00:23:54She doesn't like me.
00:23:56Not so loud. She can hear you.
00:23:58She doesn't. I can tell.
00:24:00You idiot.
00:24:02And she thinks I stole your money.
00:24:05That isn't funny, Marcus.
00:24:08You heard her.
00:24:11She was mistaken.
00:24:14She searched my room.
00:24:28Thank you.
00:24:56Thank you.
00:24:59Thank you.
00:25:08Did you search Marcus' room?
00:25:13Does he think I did?
00:25:14Yes.
00:25:17Do you think I did?
00:25:19I hope not.
00:25:22But you're not sure.
00:25:23No.
00:25:25I suppose I've been looking for...
00:25:28The money.
00:25:31I see.
00:25:34Well...
00:25:37Well what?
00:25:40Can you?
00:25:54Where's the school?
00:25:56Berkshire.
00:25:58Beautiful.
00:26:00Cookham, near Windsor.
00:26:02Is he happy there?
00:26:04He doesn't complain.
00:26:07Paul.
00:26:11Does he resent me?
00:26:13No.
00:26:14No?
00:26:16No.
00:26:17No.
00:26:19No.
00:26:20No.
00:26:22No.
00:26:23Does he resent me?
00:26:24No.
00:26:28It's going to take time.
00:26:30We both knew that.
00:26:53Marcus.
00:27:24Thank you.
00:27:26Will you wait, please?
00:27:27Yes.
00:27:54Good afternoon, Mrs. Bazant.
00:27:56My secretary told me you'd phone from the airport.
00:28:01Please sit down.
00:28:05To be quite frank, I had expected Mr. Bazant to have contacted me before now.
00:28:10He's been away almost constantly.
00:28:13Working flat out on a new book for his French publishers.
00:28:16I'm afraid he's gone.
00:28:19He's gone?
00:28:20Yes.
00:28:21For his French publishers.
00:28:23On surrealism.
00:28:24I read his articles in the Sunday Times.
00:28:29It must be very difficult coping with so many boys.
00:28:32I have a first-class staff.
00:28:35I meant all the cuts and bruises.
00:28:38Measles and chicken pox.
00:28:41Touch wood we've only had one broken wrist and the usual assortment of colds this term.
00:28:47Dr. Kessel, as you no doubt realize, Marcus is my stepson.
00:28:52I met him for the first time when he came home.
00:28:56Forgive me if I seem a little blunt, but I would prefer to discuss this matter with your husband.
00:29:04I was hoping I could protect him from the worry.
00:29:08Your husband has seen my letter.
00:29:10Not yet.
00:29:12I wanted to speak to you first.
00:29:14I see.
00:29:15I haven't seen the letter.
00:29:18But...
00:29:19Marcus destroyed it.
00:29:21I found some small pieces in a book.
00:29:25I find this very disturbing.
00:29:30I think perhaps you should see this letter.
00:29:40I just didn't realize.
00:29:43I just didn't realize.
00:29:51What were these series of unfortunate incidents?
00:29:54Why did you expel Marcus?
00:29:56I find this very distressing, Mrs. Kessel.
00:29:59It must have been serious.
00:30:01Boys quite brilliant. The most outstanding people we've ever had.
00:30:04Was it other boys? Homosexuality?
00:30:07No.

00:34:02He attributed his behaviour as a reaction to his mother's most distressing death
00:34:06But...
00:34:08That was nearly two years ago
00:34:27He stole a cat
00:34:29Killed it after torturing it
00:34:33With the other incidents
00:34:35Serious as they were, it was possible to understand
00:34:37Overlooking
00:34:39I can cope with most things
00:34:41But this was...
00:34:43Horrifying
00:34:45Frankly, I didn't know how to deal with it
00:34:47And didn't feel much like trying
00:34:49I'm very sorry
00:34:51I had no alternative but to remove the boy
00:35:02And after him
00:35:04His death
00:35:06His death
00:35:08And the boy
00:35:10It was real
00:35:12It was real
00:35:14It was real
00:35:16That he was a character
00:35:18That he was a character
00:35:20That he was a character
00:35:22That he was a character
00:35:24And that his fate
00:35:26Was to be determined
00:35:28By the other men
00:35:30Hello, my lovely darling.
00:35:43Hello there.
00:35:46Good evening.
00:35:50I'm dying of thirst.
00:35:53It's crazy.
00:36:00It's a beautiful day.
00:36:30It's lovely.
00:36:40Enter, enter.
00:36:43There's no one here but me.
00:36:45Sophie, me.
00:36:47Oh, that rhymes.
00:36:49Sophie, me.
00:36:51Phoe, me.
00:36:53And me baby, I'm the hostess.
00:36:56And I've had the mostess.
00:36:59Oh, here, let me.
00:37:03How lovely.
00:37:05Oh, too sorry.
00:37:07Much too much.
00:37:09My own party, too.
00:37:11But I don't like the people.
00:37:13None of them.
00:37:15Thank you.
00:37:18I think what you need is some coffee.
00:37:20What I need, my lovely lady,
00:37:23is a very big nun
00:37:25with very rough hands.
00:37:29This place,
00:37:32doesn't it give you the creeps?
00:37:35No, why?
00:37:37Sarah.
00:37:42She was my friend
00:37:44under the water.
00:37:47What happened?
00:37:50Dead.
00:37:53I don't know.
00:37:56Dead.
00:38:00Sophie, tell me what happened.
00:38:05Must not get all morbid.
00:38:07Ask Paul.
00:38:10Bye, lovely lady.
00:38:12Thanks for the...
00:38:26That was your house.
00:38:28Yes.
00:38:29Her house.
00:38:32Yes.
00:38:33Now it's Sophie's.
00:38:35Why didn't you tell me?
00:38:38I sold it after Sarah died.
00:38:42Haven't been back there until tonight.
00:38:46I was trying to prove to myself
00:38:49that it was over.
00:38:51No ghosts.
00:38:53You didn't think about me.
00:38:57We're going to share our lives.
00:38:59Remember?
00:39:01Please, let's forget it.
00:39:03You bastard.
00:39:05What were those people going to think?
00:39:07The majority are incapable.
00:39:09Damn place was choked with zombies.
00:39:13Don't you have a normal friend?
00:39:15Tell me what happened.
00:39:18It was a heart attack.
00:39:20She was bathing.
00:39:22She slipped under the water.
00:39:24She had a weak heart.
00:39:26I didn't even know it.
00:39:29Anyway, what does it matter?
00:39:31Bath or bed or where?
00:39:33She is dead.
00:39:39I don't know.
00:39:41She is dead.
00:39:47Your performance in the Chinese restaurant.
00:39:51The first night we went out together.
00:39:53Marcus took that money, Paul.
00:39:58Did he?
00:39:59I think you know he did.
00:40:04I found it.
00:40:05Caught in the back of the drawer, that was all.
00:40:08He put it back.
00:40:11Accusations are becoming a thing with you.
00:40:15And your third master?
00:40:17Is he in on this conspiracy?
00:40:20Kessel?
00:40:24Have you spoken to Kessel?
00:40:27I've been to the school.
00:40:30I took the early morning train the day you went to Barcelona.
00:40:36Paul.
00:40:38There was no chicken pox.
00:40:42Marcus destroyed a letter.
00:40:44Kessel wrote to explain it.
00:40:48I've been so busy with the book.
00:40:50So tired.
00:40:51I only wanted to help him.
00:40:53Help you.
00:40:54I suppose he took you through the complete chamber of horrors.
00:40:58The drawings.
00:40:59Complaints.
00:41:00He was never identified by any of those people.
00:41:03The police reports.
00:41:04The pavilion incident.
00:41:06Paul, why didn't you tell me?
00:41:12Marcus is over all that.
00:41:21He killed a cat.
00:41:25Tortured it.
00:41:31Kessel can't deal with him anymore.
00:41:35He can't overlook it this time.
00:41:41Marcus was expelled.
00:42:04I'll talk to Marcus.
00:42:07Talk to him?
00:42:08What do you want me to do?
00:42:10Beat him within an inch of his life?
00:42:12Lock him under the stairs?
00:42:13Shave his head?
00:42:18You've done nothing but harass him.
00:42:23Accusing him.
00:42:24Searching his room.
00:42:25Going to his school.
00:42:29You made your mind up before you met.
00:42:32That you weren't going to like him.
00:42:35That's a terrible thing to say.
00:42:37While you were listening to Kessel crucifying my son,
00:42:41did you ever stop to think why?
00:42:44Why?
00:42:47Or were you only interested in...
00:42:51in exposing him?
00:42:54I wanted to help him.
00:42:56To do that, you have to face facts.
00:42:59You're just pretending.
00:43:01It never happened.
00:43:03Like Sarah's death.
00:43:06Sell the house.
00:43:07Forget.
00:43:10Close your mind.
00:43:13I love you.
00:43:32I just feel confused.
00:43:36And frightened for us all.
00:43:38Do I have to spell it out for you?
00:43:42Are you that obtuse?
00:43:49Marcus found his mother in the bath.
00:44:04A few months later,
00:44:07the incident started.
00:44:13Poor Marcus.
00:44:15Poor little devil.
00:44:19I hadn't realized.
00:44:21I destroyed everything of Sarah's.
00:44:24Clothes.
00:44:26Photographs, everything.
00:44:32Darling,
00:44:34he needs time.
00:44:37Time and love.
00:44:43Sorry.
00:44:45Sorry.
00:44:49Wait till you get to know him.
00:44:52Love him.
00:44:54Like I do.
00:44:57I will, Paul.
00:44:59I know I will.
00:45:12I love you.
00:45:14I love you.
00:45:42I love you.
00:46:12I love you.
00:46:15I love you.
00:46:42I love you.
00:47:12I love you.
00:47:14I love you.
00:47:42I love you.
00:47:54Thought you were here.
00:47:56Did you want something?
00:47:58Are you busy?
00:48:00No.
00:48:02Paul has to go to Paris again soon.
00:48:05I was wondering if there's something special you like to do.
00:48:08We could go out.
00:48:10Anywhere.
00:48:11Not really. I like it here.
00:48:13I've got all I want.
00:48:16Marcus, Paul has told me about your mother.
00:48:19Has he?
00:48:21I didn't know.
00:48:22I suppose not.
00:48:25I was in the attic.
00:48:27Why? What's up there?
00:48:30I found some clothes and things
00:48:33in an old trunk.
00:48:35Did you?
00:48:37I know they're Sarah's things.
00:48:39I shouldn't think so.
00:48:40You see, Paul threw all the clothes away.
00:48:42Didn't he tell you?
00:48:44I'll talk to him if you like.
00:48:46You could keep them in here.
00:48:48If it helps.
00:48:49I don't know what you're talking about.
00:48:52I'm sorry, Elise.
00:48:56What was she like?
00:48:58Sorry, you...
00:49:00You won't want to talk about it.
00:49:02I don't mind.
00:49:04Was she beautiful?
00:49:06No.
00:49:09Attractive?
00:49:11To some, maybe.
00:49:14Was she tall?
00:49:16Short?
00:49:17Dark? Fair?
00:49:19Tall. Fair.
00:49:22If you really don't...
00:49:23No. You want to know.
00:49:25I thought it might help to talk about her.
00:49:28So you're not just being inquisitive.
00:49:33Not this time.
00:49:35Sarah was...
00:49:37Exposed.
00:49:40In what way?
00:49:41She never knew when Paul and I were joking.
00:49:46I sympathize.
00:49:50What did you think when Paul told you about the accident?
00:49:55Accident?
00:49:57Sarah's accident.
00:50:01She had a heart attack.
00:50:03Didn't Paul explain?
00:50:08No.
00:50:10I wonder why not.
00:50:14What did happen?
00:50:16I'm sorry. If Paul...
00:50:18I want to know.
00:50:19I can't.
00:50:21I have a right to know.
00:50:22Then you must ask your husband.
00:50:37I'm sorry.
00:50:58Paul refuses to talk about it.
00:51:01I can't force the issue.
00:51:03What has he said?
00:51:05It's like when she was bathing.
00:51:07Just that?
00:51:09Just that.
00:51:22Please, Sophie.
00:51:24It could mean a great deal to me.
00:51:35Please.
00:51:54Nearly two years ago.
00:51:56It was Marcus' birthday.
00:51:59He didn't want a party.
00:52:01At ten, he was far too sophisticated...
00:52:04for jelly rabbits and squeak, piggy squeak.
00:52:08Paul had arranged a family party.
00:52:12A family meal.
00:52:16Sarah went to have a bath.
00:52:20Nobody could work out exactly how it happened.
00:52:26There was an electric heater beside the bath.
00:52:30The insulation had perished.
00:52:34The current...
00:52:36jumped the pipes...
00:52:41to the taps.
00:52:43She was electrocuted?
00:52:47Had she been healthy...
00:52:49it wouldn't have done more than shake her.
00:52:52But she had a heart condition.
00:52:55She had kept it a secret...
00:52:57from everyone.
00:53:03Paul sold me the house, took Marcus abroad.
00:53:06Came back to the new house.
00:53:11Marcus went off to school.
00:53:13Paul back to his work.
00:53:15Accident, accident, accident!
00:53:18The sniping between you two.
00:53:20You with your stupid suspicion.
00:53:23Him with his in-windows.
00:53:26I'm like a... like a punch bag.
00:53:32Oh, God.
00:53:35I thought I'd got away from all this.
00:53:39All what?
00:53:43You are beginning to sound like Sarah.
00:53:47You're even beginning to look like her.
00:53:50You're even beginning to look like her.
00:54:20You're even beginning to look like her.
00:54:50You're even beginning to look like her.
00:55:20You're even beginning to look like her.
00:55:50You're even beginning to look like her.
00:56:20You're even beginning to look like her.
00:56:45Hello, Gino.
00:56:48What are you reading?
00:56:50Dead Sun?
00:56:58Did you love her?
00:57:02Did you love your mother?
00:57:04I don't think so.
00:57:09Did Paul?
00:57:11Ask him.
00:57:13I'm asking you.
00:57:15His grief was...
00:57:18...transitory.
00:57:21Hiding behind big words as cold as a fish.
00:57:28You're not a child.
00:57:31You're a...
00:57:33...thing.
00:57:39You're a...
00:57:41...freak.
00:57:46Tell you to circus.
00:57:50She looked like a fish.
00:57:52A dead fish under the water.
00:57:55Her mouth wide open.
00:58:00What did you do, August?
00:58:03Were you frightened?
00:58:06Did you scream?
00:58:09Cry?
00:58:11Ran away?
00:58:13I laughed.
00:58:15She looked so surprised.
00:58:21So ridiculous.
00:58:25So vulnerable.
00:58:30You laughed.
00:58:33When Paul came, he was sick.
00:58:43He was sick.
00:58:45He was sick.
00:59:11You're so funny.
00:59:13The lesser mortals do something.
00:59:15You do at the airport in an hour.
00:59:17Leave me, I go.
00:59:32What's the matter?
00:59:34Why don't you go and lie down?
00:59:36You're a man.
00:59:42You're impossible.
01:00:06I'm sorry.
01:00:36Are you going to the airport?
01:00:40No.
01:00:42Why not?
01:00:45Because you're drunk.
01:00:47And you're a mess.
01:00:49I'll have a shower.
01:00:51No.
01:00:53I'll be ready in 15 minutes.
01:00:56I'll take a taxi.
01:00:59Paul.
01:01:01Paul, I'm sorry.
01:01:03Please.
01:01:06You're drunk.
01:01:36I'm sorry.
01:02:06I'm sorry.
01:02:08I'm sorry.
01:02:10I'm sorry.
01:02:12I'm sorry.
01:02:14I'm sorry.
01:02:16I'm sorry.
01:02:18I'm sorry.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:22I'm sorry.
01:02:24I'm sorry.
01:02:26I'm sorry.
01:02:28I'm sorry.
01:02:30I'm sorry.
01:02:32I'm sorry.
01:02:34I'm sorry.
01:03:04I'm sorry.
01:03:06I'm sorry.
01:03:08I'm sorry.
01:03:10I'm sorry.
01:03:12I'm sorry.
01:03:14I'm sorry.
01:03:34I'm sorry.
01:04:04I'm sorry.
01:04:34I've just come from the attic.
01:04:36There's a large trunk.
01:04:39And underneath the floorboards have been cut away.
01:04:42You've been spying on Paul and me.
01:04:44Of course.
01:04:47But why?
01:04:49To use Paul's self-conscious chit-chat.
01:04:53It turns me on.
01:04:56Sarah.
01:04:58You spied on Sarah too?
01:05:00Yes.
01:05:02You spied on Sarah too?
01:05:04She wasn't as entertaining.
01:05:06No acrobatics.
01:05:08Then Paul's getting older.
01:05:10Did he have anything to do with Sarah's death?
01:05:13My mother died from a heart attack.
01:05:15After the accident with the electric heater.
01:05:20You know, don't you?
01:05:22Do I?
01:05:23Yes.
01:05:24You think I would give you this information?
01:05:27Not freely.
01:05:29Are you suggesting some sort of exchange?
01:05:33Why not?
01:05:35What do you have that I could possibly want?
01:05:41Money?
01:05:42Really?
01:05:44What then?
01:05:46Anything?
01:05:48Anything.
01:05:50You.
01:05:52Your natural presence.
01:06:00Was Sarah's death an accident?
01:06:02No.
01:06:09It was murder.
01:06:19Was it murder?
01:06:21Yes.
01:06:23It was murder.
01:06:25Yes.
01:06:28Was it murder?
01:06:41Yes.
01:06:45Are you sure?
01:06:47Yes.
01:06:52You knew all the time.
01:06:55You said nothing.
01:06:58Yes.
01:07:05Paul didn't know she had a heart condition.
01:07:15No.
01:07:19He must have.
01:07:21He didn't.
01:07:25How?
01:07:32Yes.
01:07:46I did.
01:07:48How?
01:07:50I found a letter from a specialist.
01:07:55And you told Paul?
01:07:57No.
01:07:58You little bastard!
01:08:00He knew nothing.
01:08:01All lies.
01:08:02Just a dirty little schoolboy.
01:08:04No.
01:08:05Dirty drawings.
01:08:06Peepholes.
01:08:07No.
01:08:08Killing cats.
01:08:10A dirty little schoolboy couldn't murder his mother.
01:08:17I did.
01:08:20I did, Elise.
01:08:26Yes.
01:08:47Look.
01:08:48That?
01:08:50You knew about it.
01:08:52You knew about it.
01:08:55That was cut by one of the electricians to locate the main cable before we moved in.
01:09:00Did he cut that too?
01:09:02What?
01:09:04There.
01:09:06A small hole in the plaster.
01:09:10There.
01:09:11Covered with gauze.
01:09:22There's nothing, Elise.
01:09:27A peephole.
01:09:30Show me.
01:09:32Where?
01:09:33There.
01:09:38It was.
01:09:40It was there.
01:09:42You could see everything.
01:09:45The bed.
01:09:47Everything.
01:09:48A spyhole.
01:09:50Into our room.
01:10:04Elise.
01:10:06He must have filled it in.
01:10:08No, Elise.
01:10:09He filled it in.
01:10:11He knew I showed you.
01:10:13Elise.
01:10:17I know how it is.
01:10:19For Christ's sake, stop understanding everything.
01:10:21Everyone.
01:10:22Me and...
01:10:23And?
01:10:24Start facing a truth about Marcus.
01:10:27A truth?
01:10:29You accuse him of stealing money.
01:10:32Search his room.
01:10:33Now it's peepholes and ceilings.
01:10:35You dragged me all the way back from Paris with neurotic phone calls for this?
01:10:42It was a hole.
01:10:44It was.
01:10:46I wouldn't have dragged you back from Paris for nothing.
01:10:56All right.
01:10:58I'll see him.
01:10:59Talk to him.
01:11:01I promise.
01:11:02Now?
01:11:06All right.
01:11:16Well?
01:11:20I couldn't make much sense out of any of it.
01:11:24But you did question him about the hole.
01:11:27Yes.
01:11:30He denies it.
01:11:32Yes.
01:11:34Of course he would.
01:11:36He is my son.
01:11:38He says he's your son.
01:11:40Yes.
01:11:42Of course he would.
01:11:44He is my son.
01:11:46He's Sarah's son, too.
01:11:48What does that mean?
01:11:49Well, he told me...
01:11:52What?
01:11:53Paul.
01:11:55You do believe me about the hole.
01:11:58I don't know what to believe any longer.
01:12:01But, Paul, I swear...
01:12:03All right.
01:12:06All right, perhaps you are right.
01:12:08What do you mean?
01:12:09Perhaps he should see someone.
01:12:11A psychiatrist.
01:12:14Paul.
01:12:15Oh, he'd be much happier.
01:12:18Maybe.
01:12:19Oh, I know I'm right.
01:12:22Maybe.
01:12:25Paul.
01:12:27It's the only way we can start all over again.
01:12:32Yes.
01:12:42Where's Paul?
01:12:44Madrid.
01:12:45Seeing Dr. Bjorn?
01:12:47Yes.
01:12:48How boring.
01:12:51She bores you.
01:12:53All psychiatry bores me.
01:12:57Have you told her yet?
01:12:59That I despise her?
01:13:01No, what you told me.
01:13:04I don't know.
01:13:06Have you told her yet?
01:13:08That I despise her?
01:13:10No, what you told me.
01:13:14What did Paul say when you told him?
01:13:21Sarah was drinking coffee.
01:13:23I'm not interested.
01:13:25The cup was floating on the water.
01:13:27Tell Dr. Bjorn.
01:13:28Paul knew as soon as he saw her.
01:13:32Did he say as much?
01:13:33But he knew.
01:13:36Your mother died from a heart attack.
01:13:39I organized that heart attack.
01:13:43Now you want Paul to give you the credit.
01:13:46Yes.
01:14:03I love you.
01:14:33I love you.
01:15:04Marcus is going to kill me.
01:15:27I tried to reach it with a stick.
01:15:30I'll see to it.
01:15:32I thought dogs could swim.
01:15:35It could.
01:16:02I'll see to it.
01:16:33That night we went out for dinner.
01:16:35And the next, and the next.
01:16:38We were married in three weeks.
01:16:40He's the most attractive man.
01:16:42Yes.
01:16:44He told you about the boy?
01:16:46A little.
01:16:47And the mother?
01:16:49Yes.
01:16:50That she had died?
01:16:51A heart attack.
01:16:53Did this bother you?
01:16:55I don't think so.
01:16:56When you knew he had a child?
01:16:58Not at all.
01:16:59You didn't mind?
01:17:00No.
01:17:02Did he talk much about Marcus?
01:17:05Not very much.
01:17:06Not often.
01:17:07You thought this in any way odd?
01:17:11No.
01:17:12We were too full of each other.
01:17:14How long was it before you actually met the child?
01:17:18Three months.
01:17:19He was away at school.
01:17:21But you saw photographs.
01:17:23Only one.
01:17:25Paul doesn't like photographs.
01:17:31Tell me about your first meeting with the child.
01:17:35Paul was in Paris again.
01:17:39It was a very hot afternoon.
01:17:42I'd been to the cleaners to collect some clothes.
01:18:01We just stood there.
01:18:03I can remember his exact words.
01:18:07I hired a car.
01:18:09Took some money from the desk.
01:18:11And then?
01:18:12A thousand pesetas.
01:18:14But he denied this.
01:18:16Without turning a hair.
01:18:18Why do you think?
01:18:20To test Paul.
01:18:22To test him?
01:18:24To see who he would believe.
01:18:26Him or me.
01:18:28And who did he believe?
01:18:31I'm not sure.
01:18:33There was an argument?
01:18:35Not really.
01:18:37Marcus admitted the theft?
01:18:39You're kidding!
01:18:41You were mistaken.
01:18:43No.
01:18:44He took that money.
01:18:45A thousand pesetas.
01:18:47Wasn't it fifteen hundred?
01:18:50It probably was.
01:18:52But he told me a thousand.
01:18:54He even lies about his lice.
01:18:58Wasn't the money found at the back of the drawer?
01:19:02He put it back.
01:19:04You saw this?
01:19:06No.
01:19:08Someone saw this.
01:19:10Consuelo?
01:19:12No.
01:19:13But you're certain?
01:19:14Certain.
01:19:16So what did you do?
01:19:19I looked through his room.
01:19:21Hoping to discover the stolen money?
01:19:24Yes.
01:19:25To what purpose?
01:19:27To prove to Paul he was lying.
01:19:29This was important to you?
01:19:31Yes.
01:19:32Even though you knew it might cause Paul pain?
01:19:35The truth has to be faced.
01:19:40Is Paul very affectionate towards the child?
01:19:44Very.
01:19:46You sound slightly negative.
01:19:52He's always touching him.
01:19:55Over-affectionate?
01:19:57Yes, you could say that.
01:20:01You found a letter?
01:20:03Part of a letter.
01:20:05From Marcus' school.
01:20:07When I was looking for the money.
01:20:09It was hidden in a book.
01:20:22When the headmaster told you that Paul knew about those incidents,
01:20:26what did you feel?
01:20:28I was surprised.
01:20:29Angry?
01:20:30Yes, angry.
01:20:31Betrayed?
01:20:32Yes.
01:20:33And when you saw the erotic drawings, what did you feel?
01:20:37Nothing at first.
01:20:39I was so amazed.
01:20:40Amazed at what?
01:20:42I don't know.
01:20:43That Marcus should be so advanced?
01:20:46Advanced?
01:20:47Knowledgeable.
01:20:49Yes, it was that, I suppose.
01:20:51Were you disgusted?
01:20:53No.
01:20:54Embarrassed?
01:20:55No.
01:20:56The drawings were good.
01:20:58Good.
01:20:59Accurate.
01:21:01Very.
01:21:02Almost...
01:21:03Yes?
01:21:05Almost beautiful.
01:21:07I see.
01:21:09But when he told you about the cat...
01:21:11I felt sick.
01:21:15You say Dr. Kessel suggested that Marcus should see a psychiatrist?
01:21:19Yes.
01:21:20And you told this to Paul?
01:21:22Yes.
01:21:23Why?
01:21:24Why do you think?
01:21:26What I think is irrelevant.
01:21:28Sane people don't walk around killing animals.
01:21:32You think Marcus is insane?
01:21:36It's not well.
01:21:39He frightens you?
01:21:42In a way.
01:21:45Tell me.
01:21:47He says things...
01:21:49That frighten you?
01:21:51Not frighten exactly.
01:21:53Then what?
01:21:55I can't say exactly.
01:21:58Do you think you ever frightened him?
01:22:01No.
01:22:02Never?
01:22:03Never.
01:22:04But you were suspicious of him.
01:22:05I...
01:22:06After the incident at the Chinese restaurant.
01:22:09There were other...
01:22:11Deceptions?
01:22:12Lies.
01:22:15All the time.
01:22:17He creates difficulties.
01:22:20Yes.
01:22:21Between Paul and you.
01:22:23Yes.
01:22:24Emotional difficulties.
01:22:25Yes.
01:22:26With his lies.
01:22:30Lots of things.
01:22:33He can just sit.
01:22:35Saying nothing.
01:22:37Say everything.
01:22:43Do you dislike the boy?
01:22:44No.
01:22:45Do you like him?
01:22:46I want to help him.
01:22:48Does he like you?
01:22:50I don't know.
01:22:53Do you think he might hate you?
01:22:57I suppose he could.
01:22:59Why should he hate you?
01:23:01Not hate.
01:23:02Resent?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:05Because of his mother?
01:23:06No.
01:23:07You seem very sure.
01:23:08I am.
01:23:09Why is that?
01:23:10Well, you must have talked about Sarah.
01:23:12Yes.
01:23:13What did he say?
01:23:14Oh, many things.
01:23:16He talks a lot about her.
01:23:18Like what?
01:23:20Oh, um...
01:23:22Going to buy the dog, his puppy.
01:23:25And their museum trips together.
01:23:28The chocolate ice cream story.
01:23:31Childish, ephemeral things.
01:23:35You seem surprised.
01:23:37Even you?
01:23:40Even you can't tell when he's lying?
01:23:52When you found this, um...
01:23:55Peephole...
01:23:57What did you first think of?
01:24:01What Kessel told me.
01:24:03About the child?
01:24:04Oh, for Christ's sake, stop calling him a child!
01:24:06He's not a child!
01:24:08He's as under this you or I.
01:24:10Certainly not a child.
01:24:15About Marcus?
01:24:18Yes.
01:24:19And what did you do?
01:24:23I tried to contact Paul at the airport.
01:24:26To bring him home?
01:24:27Yes.
01:24:28To show him?
01:24:29What else?
01:24:31And what did you do in the meantime?
01:24:35Do?
01:24:37Nothing!
01:24:39What could I do?
01:24:54Why did you take your clothes off in front of the child?
01:24:59What?
01:25:03You stripped in front of the child.
01:25:10He made me.
01:25:11Forced you.
01:25:13It was a game.
01:25:15A game?
01:25:17Yes, a game.
01:25:19He made me.
01:25:21Forced you?
01:25:23It was a game.
01:25:25A game?
01:25:28He was telling me things.
01:25:30What sort of things, Elise?
01:25:34I offered him money.
01:25:36What for?
01:25:38For the information.
01:25:39What information?
01:25:41About Paul and Sarah.
01:25:42What about them?
01:25:44I was wrong.
01:25:45How, Elise?
01:25:47I suspected Paul.
01:25:49It wasn't Paul.
01:25:51You wanted the child to see your body.
01:25:53He's not a child!
01:25:54You thought he would admire your body.
01:25:56It was the only way.
01:25:58What for, Elise?
01:26:00To find out what happened.
01:26:02Ask him. He suggested it.
01:26:04Ask him! He suggested it!
01:26:06He'll only tell you lies.
01:26:09Did you harm the dog?
01:26:15Can't you remember?
01:26:21He murdered the cat.
01:26:23Why not the dog?
01:26:26It was his dog.
01:26:28He could have murdered it.
01:26:31He could have murdered it.
01:26:32Murdered?
01:26:35Killed.
01:26:36You said murdered.
01:26:37Killed, killed, killed!
01:26:51Can't you understand?
01:26:53Marcus murdered his mother!
01:26:57He told me!
01:26:59There was information he made me sleep for.
01:27:01He laughed.
01:27:04The coffee cup was floating.
01:27:06He laughed!
01:27:08Her mouth was open under the water!
01:27:56Help!

01:33:16What is it, Mom?
01:33:20We are on a plane next week.
01:33:24If you think it would help.
01:33:26What will help?
01:33:28Us.
01:33:30You, me, Marcus.
01:33:32To become a family.
01:33:34Running away never achieved anything.
01:33:36Do you mean that?
01:33:40We stay.
01:33:42Here. Here.
01:33:44Come on.
01:33:51Hello, Elise.
01:33:53Hello, Marcus. How are you?
01:33:55Very well.
01:33:57This is Hannibal, a birthday present from Paul.
01:34:01Oh, he's very handsome.
01:34:03You can take him out for a walk later if you want to.
01:34:06Hmm. I'd like that very much.
01:34:08After tea?
01:34:10After tea?
01:34:12Hmm. Just you and me?
01:34:16Just you and me.
01:34:19Here. Here. Come on.
01:34:24Thank you.
01:34:25For what?
01:34:26Being you, we are very lucky.
01:34:28He seems very relaxed, happy.
01:34:31He's been so looking forward to your coming home.
01:34:34You surprised me.
01:34:36He wanted to visit you.
01:34:38But Dr. Vion was adamant.
01:35:01I'm glad I'm back.
01:35:03So am I.
01:35:04It was very lonely.
01:35:06I was lonely, too.
01:35:08You did try.
01:35:10Yes, I tried, but they wouldn't believe me.
01:35:14I couldn't expect them to.
01:35:16I suppose not.
01:35:19I used to lie awake at night thinking about Sarah.
01:35:23You...
01:35:24I wanted to share it with Paul.
01:35:27I know.
01:35:30I thought it would stimulate him.
01:35:33He does know.
01:35:35He can't understand.
01:35:38He has a talent for understanding everything but essentials.
01:35:43He bores me.
01:35:47I just hadn't realized how old he is.
01:35:50You're nearer to me than him.
01:35:53He wants a family.
01:35:56I enjoyed your performance with Hannibal.
01:35:59I knew you wanted to talk.
01:36:03Now we appreciate one another.
01:36:09Would you have killed me?
01:36:11Yes.
01:36:13How?
01:36:14Your car.
01:36:17Forsake.
01:36:18Not what I had in mind.
01:36:23Perfection?
01:36:25Absolutely.
01:36:26He bores me, too.
01:36:29Perhaps.
01:36:35Is he insured?
01:36:37Exorbitantly.
01:37:26Terrible!
01:37:56I'm sorry.
