01:54and will be down and leave them.
02:03Clark!
02:04I'm sorry?
02:06Campbell Clark.
02:08A juror!
02:10Are you going north of the border too?
02:12Only as far as Durham.
02:15Won't you join me? I have an empty compartment.
02:17Oh, I'd be delighted to join.
02:20This is a pleasant coincidence.
02:22I was actually expecting a companion, but sadly he's Mr. Traylor.
02:28Visits are vacant?
02:31Well, one of them is possibly occupied, but...
02:34Thank you very much.
02:44Good Lord, he's here.
02:47Come along, Parvin. Don't keep the whole crew waiting.
02:49Oh, my boy.
02:50It's all right, old man. You've made it.
02:52The fellow hasn't blown his whistle yet.
02:54Oh, ah.
02:55Not good for you there.
02:57Oh, my goodness.
02:59I had to run all the way from the taxi cab rack.
03:02Quite shaken.
03:07What delayed you?
03:09Late supper with Woolwich and St. Albans.
03:12Conversation got deep.
03:13Oh, I thought I was going to miss it.
03:20Durham expects me.
03:21Parfit, do you know Sir Campbell Clark?
03:23Only by reputation.
03:25Then allow me, Sir Campbell Clark.
03:27Canon Parfit, Canon Parfit, Sir Campbell Clark.
03:28Oh, yes?
03:29This is a very great honour for me, sir.
03:30You've been causing quite a stir, I believe.
03:33Only among the eggnogs.
03:34So, here we all are.
03:40Yes, indeed.
03:43How pleasant.
03:44I fancy we have a quorum, don't you?
03:47The law, the church, and the medical profession.
03:51Between us, we could cover any ground pretty completely, I fancy.
03:54Indeed and indeed.
03:55Oh, I wonder.
03:57There is another point of view, you know.
03:58Meaning?
03:59The point of view of the man in the street.
04:01Ah, the man in the street.
04:02As usual, the man in the street is dozing.
04:07You going all the way to Edinburgh tonight, Sir Campbell?
04:09Ah, I can never wait to get back north of the border.
04:11You just sorted south to sort us out, eh?
04:16You'll be referring to my lecture to the Royal Scientific Society.
04:19Uh-huh.
04:19You were at it.
04:21Regrettably, no.
04:22Woolwich and Sir Dalbansworth.
04:24You should have been there, Durand.
04:25I fancy it's more your line of country.
04:28The church and science never did go hand in hand,
04:30but you men of the law are more persuadable.
04:33I doubt that, Sir Campbell.
04:35The legal mind requires chapter and verse like the church.
04:39We don't care for change.
04:40It upsets us.
04:42What was the gist of your lecture?
04:45Dual personality.
04:46Ah-huh.
04:46Of course, that's your latest hobby horse, isn't it?
04:48Latest?
04:49A lifetime's work.
04:51The raw surfaces of the mind rubbing together,
04:53causing terrible illness.
04:56My subject was a poor, demented peasant girl, French.
05:00Her name was Felice Bolt.
05:02I've heard the name.
05:03Yes, she became something of a celebrity.
05:05Perfect example of dual personality.
05:08I was one of the doctors lucky enough to study her over several years.
05:13An extraordinary behavior pattern.
05:14It was quite baffling.
05:16My talk tonight was the result of our findings.
05:20Which were?
05:22Oh.
05:23You'd have to understand the whole case.
05:26Did you?
05:29I do beg your pardon, sir.
05:31We thought you were sleeping.
05:32The man in the street who was always dozing, eh?
05:34Oh.
05:36Who are you?
05:37My name is Raoul Letardot.
05:40I feel I've seen you somewhere before.
05:42Yes, yes.
05:42I was at your lecture, Sir Campbell.
05:44Ah, you're a member of the society.
05:46Ah, no.
05:46I am a gentleman of the press.
05:49Oh, yes.
05:51I remember.
05:53You expressed an opinion.
05:55I did.
05:55I hope it was a good one.
05:57Are we allowed to share it?
05:59I simply asked the eminent doctor
06:01how it could possibly have happened.
06:04That is a question, not an opinion.
06:06The opinion came later.
06:08I said that all the doctors
06:10had been looking in the wrong direction.
06:12A point of view of the man in the street?
06:14And is our friend right?
06:16I don't think so.
06:19Well, you can't leave it there, Campbell.
06:21Come on, give us some facts.
06:24Well,
06:26Ferry C. Bolt was a
06:27Britain peasant girl.
06:29From the age of five,
06:31she'd been brought up by a charitable maiden lady
06:33who ran a home for destitute children
06:35on the Brittany coast, near Dinah.
06:37Are these the kind of facts you wonder, then?
06:40What happened to her?
06:42She'd committed suicide.
06:44No, no, before that.
06:46And was it?
06:47Are you so sure?
06:48Was it suicide?
06:50Of that there can be no question.
06:51I question it.
06:54What else could it have been?
06:57Murder.
06:58Oh.
06:58Ah.
06:59Over to me.
07:00In what way did this unfortunate woman meet her death?
07:05She strangled herself.
07:08Strangled herself?
07:09Is that possible?
07:12Her hands were round her neck when she was found,
07:15locked in the death wrastle.
07:23As herself,
07:24Ferry C. was a dull, loutish girl,
07:27stupid and slow-witted.
07:29But in her twenties,
07:31she suffered what we can only describe as a mental breakdown.
07:35And it was after that
07:36that the other Ferry C. began to appear.
07:38Was this second persona very different?
07:40Well, luckily so.
07:41Ferry C. too, as we termed it,
07:43spoke several languages,
07:44played the piano passably well,
07:47sang, danced,
07:49had the most exquisite handwriting.
07:50It was beyond comprehension.
07:52This other creature knew things
07:53that Ferry C. couldn't possibly have known.
07:56Smells like a hoax, I mean.
07:58Did she make money out of it?
07:59No.
08:00Oh, she got a certain amount of attention
08:02she might have enjoyed.
08:03Nothing more.
08:04Enjoyed?
08:05She didn't want attention.
08:06For years, you doctors,
08:09you experts.
08:11You studied her,
08:12you probed and prodded her.
08:14And where were you, sir,
08:15that you know so much about it?
08:16Oh, I knew Ferry C. very well.
08:18Ah.
08:19And Annette.
08:21Who?
08:22Who?
08:22You say who.
08:24Annette Ravel.
08:26The beautiful Annette.
08:28When I was 14,
08:30my parents were killed
08:31in a train crash.
08:33And I went to Dinao.
08:35I lived at that home.
08:38You lived there?
08:40Oh, yes.
08:43It was a cold house
08:45with always a wind.
08:48A narrow path led down to a beach
08:49and a road led to the village.
08:52There were 20 of us children
08:53and the first one I saw
08:55was Felice Boote.
08:58Mademoiselle came
08:58and met me off the train
08:59from Wren.
09:01It was the first time
09:02I'd met her.
09:03All the arrangements
09:03for my guardianship
09:05had been made for me
09:05by the authorities in Wren.
09:08Are you looking forward
09:09to your new home, Ravel?
09:11Yes, mademoiselle.
09:12You must work hard
09:13so that you can be accredited
09:14to us all.
09:15Yes, mademoiselle.
09:16Are you quick and clever?
09:18I don't know, mademoiselle.
09:19Look, Ravel.
09:29Here's one of your new sisters.
09:36Felice, come and say hello
09:37to your new brother.
09:41She was plain
09:42and clumsy
09:43and incredibly strong.
09:47I remember
09:48on that first day
09:49she took my suitcase.
09:51Stop that at once, Felice.
09:55Felice, no.
09:56It will be too heavy for you.
09:58It's mine.
09:59It's my case.
10:04It was such an inconsequential
10:06little act
10:07and yet now
10:08it seems strangely typical
10:10of Felice.
10:12Part of her
10:13wanted to reach out
10:15and another part
10:16wanted to reject.
10:17the dual personality
10:19was manifest even then.
10:21No, no.
10:22You're not understanding me.
10:24They were separate then.
10:26They?
10:27Who?
10:28No, no, no.
10:29Let him tell his story.
10:30Yes, do go on, please.
10:31We're all attention.
10:33That's strange.
10:34To what?
10:37To you.
10:39It's just a story.
10:41Go on, catch it.
10:45Oddly enough,
10:46the three of us
10:47spent so much time together.
10:49I never recall
10:50any of the other children.
10:52Just Felice and Annette
10:53and myself.
10:54Oh!
10:55Catch it.
10:56Go on, catch it.
10:56It was as though
10:58the two girls
10:58even then
10:59were drawn to each other
11:00by some
11:01mutual contempt.
11:03And, yes,
11:04and envy.
11:06Annette had everything
11:07to be envied.
11:09But Felice had one thing
11:10that Annette longed for.
11:12Though I didn't realise
11:13at the time.
11:14Felice!
11:15Felice!
11:20Naughty, Howl.
11:21If she wants to play with me,
11:22she must play the rules.
11:24No, no, Howl!
11:25Don't let her hurt me.
11:27She's so big and strong
11:28like the oxen of the fields.
11:31Don't let her hurt me.
11:32And so she was.
11:34Strong and healthy.
11:37And Annette was not.
11:49Come here!
11:51Come here,
11:52you big fat doll!
11:54Now,
12:08kneel down
12:09and kiss my foot.
12:14My beautiful dancer's foot.
12:18Kiss it, Felice.
12:20I can make her do anything,
12:45Owl, I can, I can!
12:48She was that kind of a girl.
12:50She sounds a thoroughly
12:51unpleasant one to me.
12:53Yes, I'm sure that's the way
12:54I make her sound.
12:55And if you go by the bare facts,
12:57then yes.
12:58But Annette was so much more.
13:00To begin with,
13:01she was, oh,
13:02very beautiful.
13:03And she became more so
13:04as she grew older.
13:06Delicate looks,
13:07restless energy.
13:09Felice didn't have to spend
13:10all her time with her.
13:12But she was
13:12drawn to her.
13:20Are you all right,
13:21my dear sir?
13:22Sir Campbell,
13:22is he ill?
13:25Is she?
13:26You should have helped her.
13:28She needed you.
13:30We helped Felice E. Bolt
13:31all we were able to.
13:32No, no.
13:33Short of putting her
13:34in a straitjacket.
13:36You don't understand.
13:42Annette O'Avelle.
13:45It was that summer
13:46that I really began
13:47to notice her.
13:49After a year,
13:50the grief for my parents
13:51was beginning to fade.
13:52Indeed,
13:53shame to tell,
13:54I almost blessed
13:55their sudden deaths
13:55for bringing me
13:56to the feet
13:57of my adored Annette.
14:02Dear, dear,
14:03Owl.
14:08Dry my feet,
14:09Rowl.
14:11Put on my stockings.
14:13Over there.
14:14See?
14:15Run for them.
14:24You're so sweet.
14:34My mother
14:35would have liked you.
14:37She was...
14:39She knew
14:39so many young men.
14:42They gave her presents.
14:44Shall you give me presents,
14:45Rowl?
14:46A periodo pendant
14:47and a diamond clasp,
14:48shall you?
14:49Dear, sweet, handsome,
14:53Owl.
14:55She was a dancer,
14:56you know.
14:57Very famous.
14:59But I shall be more so,
15:01shan't I, Rowl?
15:02I shall be very famous
15:06and people shall come
15:08from all over
15:09to see me dance.
15:11I shall be the toast
15:13of Paris.
15:15Oh,
15:16how I miss Paris.
15:19La bella Parigi,
15:22città dei miei sogni.
15:25That's Italian, Rowl.
15:27Do you speak Italian?
15:29Mio caro.
15:31I do.
15:32And German.
15:34Mother had a German lover
15:35and an Italian prince.
15:37But she died.
15:39And I had to come
15:40to this beastly place
15:41with all these brats
15:43and poor mademoiselle.
15:46Oh, Rowl.
15:47Put my stockings on.
15:56Please, Rowl.
15:58My feet are lovely
15:59and dry now.
16:02Please,
16:03Rowl.
16:04The Jackman northe park.
16:05Please,
16:06may be vessel.
16:11Okay.
16:16Thank you,
16:29suppose,
16:30Kiss me, darling.
17:00but she was only a child. you all were. a child? Annette could never have been a child as you would have it. from the earliest time she had fended for herself. Annette's mother had been a fille de joie and she'd been a dancer. and Annette's childhood was spent backstage in the Paris halls.
17:30when did she come to be at the home? are you still looking for your facts Mr. Lawyer? Annette's mother had died of consumption. and the man she had been living with abandoned the child. where is Annette Ravel now? she's dead. and how did she die? well that comes later. how aware was Felicie of this other girl? she used to watch her morning noon and night. she was attracted to her.
18:00like a bird is attracted to a stoat. you know that in fact. well of course. I knew Felicie very well. we were both slaves. you see?
18:15hello Felicie. where's Annette? I thought you might be practicing. she's not is she? no. have you seen her?
18:28god she was always where you were. she's not is she?
18:32I saw you with her, monsieur. down on the beach. don't want to have to tell mademoiselle what I saw.
18:47you didn't see anything. she's beautiful isn't she? but weak. I'm strong monsieur. I'm strong. I know Felicie. stronger than you even. stronger than her.
19:05what are you doing in here all on your own, eh? playing the piano, monsieur. go on then.
19:12Felicie! Felicie! don't you not let mademoiselle!
19:27Felicie! what's this noise? stop it Felicie! stop it! you must not ruin that piano. shame on you Raoul for encouraging her.
19:39I didn't mademoiselle. stop that noise! Felicie! Felicie! don't spoil the piano. let me play for you.
20:02when winter's gone and spring's returning
20:06and hope and love are born again
20:09that's better.
20:10for normandy
20:12this piano must not be used except by Annette.
20:14one day she's going to be a fine singer and go to the conservatoire.
20:18practice Annette.
20:20practice makes perfect.
20:22yes mademoiselle.
20:24and dream in vain
20:27for in my dream
20:33can you see me at the conservatoire?
20:37no thanks oh girl
20:39not for me musical evenings with old fogies
20:43whose wives sit prim
20:45while they let you from behind their big cigars.
20:49I love you Annette. I love you.
21:11I love you Annette. I love you.
21:13I love you.
21:14I love you.
21:20don't pour me girl. keep your hands to yourself.
21:23jay what?
21:26yesterday on the beach.
21:29that was yesterday.
21:31I was her slave.
21:44or her plaything.
21:46like Felicity.
21:48yes perhaps we were both her dolls.
21:51sometimes she would favor me.
21:53often she would not.
21:55usually I was wretched.
21:57but when she was kind
21:59I knew such happiness.
22:01it was like that
22:03until the day I left that house.
22:05I never knew from one day to the next
22:07whether I was in favor or not.
22:09but with Felicity
22:11oh she was much less subtle.
22:13she despised her
22:15for her looks, her clumsiness
22:17her dull heavy ways.
22:19and yet she Annette
22:21was also drawn to Felicity.
22:23why?
22:25Felicity's strength fascinated her.
22:27and her health.
22:29Annette's cough was getting worse.
22:31and I think perhaps she knew.
22:33she inherited her mother's consumption.
22:35perhaps Mamsel realized it.
22:37I certainly did not.
22:39besides I had other matters to occupy my mind.
22:41it had been decided I should go to the military academy.
22:43now part of me dreaded this decision.
22:45another part of me welcomed it.
22:47you see I wanted to get away.
22:49I had to.
22:51my love for Annette was becoming a torture.
22:53and she on the other hand seemed less interested in me.
22:57or perhaps she really did love me
22:59but was too young to.
23:01it was the day of my departure.
23:05and I wanted to be alone with Annette.
23:07there was so much that I wanted to say.
23:11but she had become more and more aloof with me.
23:13while still wanting my company
23:15she rejected my advances.
23:17I'm going to sleep.
23:19I'm going to sleep.
23:21I'm going to sleep.
23:23it was a trick that she had seen performed on the halls in her youth.
23:25she said it was easy.
23:27but I didn't think it would work.
23:33Felicity.
23:35Felicity.
23:37she's pretending.
23:39you think so?
23:40I don't care.
23:41well let's go outside.
23:42I have to leave soon.
23:43lucky you.
23:45god I wish I could get away from here.
23:47well I will.
23:48don't you worry.
23:50just as soon as.
23:54Felicity.
23:56I'm going to whisper something in your ear.
23:58and you will do just what I tell you.
24:01yes Felicity.
24:03just what I say.
24:26Felicity.
24:27Felicity.
24:28Felicity.
24:29Felicity.
24:30Felicity.
24:31Felicity my doll.
24:32what are you doing?
24:33what are you doing Felicity?
24:34what does it look like?
24:35does it taste good?
24:36why yes.
24:37it is the best bread that I have ever tasted.

25:20I can make you do anything.
25:22you're my big fat doll.
25:25you made me?
25:29yes.
25:31I remember.
25:34you made me look...
25:37ridiculous.
25:38I didn't have to try very hard.
25:41Annette.
25:43you're mine.
25:45i can make you do anything.
25:48one day Annette.
25:50i'm going to kill you.
25:52you'll see.
25:54it was only a joke.
25:55kill you.
25:57one day.
25:59i will.
26:00innocence of the child is a divine gift.
26:02the very structure of the bible relies upon.
26:04oh.
26:05half it.
26:06humbug old boy.
26:07humbug.
26:08you're not a father.
26:09i am.
26:10little tykes.
26:11the lot of them give me half a chance.
26:12this girl was dragged up from the gutter.
26:14you heard what our friend says.
26:16well the gutter sticks old boy.
26:18i know.
26:19believe me.
26:20i know.
26:21half my clients have a more than passing accretions.
26:24but children durand.
26:25young children.
26:27i don't mind telling you.
26:28if you've been a church of england home.
26:29none of it would have happened.
26:31children are in a state of innocent grace.
26:33fair as the salmon path is.
26:35they were not children.
26:37they were when they began.
26:38as far as i can understand it.
26:40this girl.
26:41annette was behaving like.
26:42well i have to say it.
26:43a flirt.
26:44a harlot even.
26:45from her pubescence.
26:46oh.
26:47i'm sorry.
26:48but that's how it seemed to me.
26:49ah.
26:50but a creature from the gutter.
26:51parfit.
26:52what example had she to follow?
26:53she was her mother's daughter.
26:54oh that's how i see.
26:55that does not excuse her in the eyes of the lord.
26:57we're given our trials to prove ourselves.
27:00you are amused sir?
27:01yes.
27:02i'm sorry to show it.
27:03but what any nonsense you experts make.
27:06you think so?
27:07yes.
27:08you see.
27:09for you.
27:10life must conform to your set patterns.
27:11but it doesn't.
27:12you know.
27:13i'm sorry to shake you out of your complacent corners.
27:16but out there in the world are an infinite number of imponderables.
27:20more things in heaven and earth.
27:22hmm.
27:23you begin to see.
27:24perhaps.
27:25you will.
27:27that's why i followed you here.
27:29you must.
27:30followed him?
27:32i need you to understand.
27:34to get it right.
27:36is that really possible old man?
27:43when next i caught up with annette.
27:45the war was over.
27:46i was in paris.
27:47i was in uniform.
27:48but i was about to leave the army.
27:50i was in paris.
27:51i was in paris.
27:53i was in paris.
27:54i was in paris.
27:55i was in paris.
27:56i was in paris.
27:58i was in paris.
28:00i was in paris.
28:01i was in paris.
28:03i was in paris.
28:05i was in paris.
28:06i was in paris.
28:07i was in paris.
28:08i was in paris.
28:09i was in paris.
28:11i was in paris.
28:12i was in paris.
28:14i was in paris.
28:15i was in paris.
28:16i was in paris.
28:17i was in paris.
28:18i was in paris.
28:19you was in paris.
28:20i was in paris.
28:21i was in paris.
28:22Altro che desiderato.
28:26Ahi, che si può fare?
28:30Ahi, fuggire o restare?
28:34O di andare o vivire?
28:39Oh, ah, ti decidi per piacere,
28:42prendi quella doccinela e dividilo con me.
28:52Oh, ahi!
28:57Pigs! Dirty, lecherous old pigs!
29:02Don't they know how good I am?
29:04I'll go south, and then they won't have me here any more.
29:07The Count will just in a minute.
29:09So, that'll teach them. I'll marry the Count.
29:15Hello, Honest.
29:17The public are not allowed backstage.
29:19But don't you recognise me? It's me!
29:22Val!
29:25At first, I thought she was going to refuse to see me,
29:28and I knew well enough why.
29:30The theatre she was playing in
29:32was not the palace of entertainment she had promised herself.
29:35It was a low dive,
29:37where the shape of her body mattered more than her voice.
29:40But then...
29:42Howl!
29:43You can come now!
29:52Howl!
29:53I didn't recognise you!
29:55So handsome in your uniform!
29:58Have you been fighting for us? Brave Howl?
30:01It's not so brave, really.
30:03It wasn't the best time to join the army.
30:07Are you going to stand in the doorway?
30:09I might catch a cold from the draft.
30:11Oh, I'm sorry.
30:16Oh, I beg your pardon.
30:18Oh, Broboff.
30:20This is a boy from that ghastly home I told you about.
30:23Are you surprised to find me here, dear Howl?
30:26Only a temporary engagement.
30:28The Olympia wants me.
30:30But we cannot agree the contract.
30:32Did I tell you that, Broboff?
30:34Yes, my dear, every other day.
30:36Don't you think you should introduce us?
30:39Oh, this is the Count Brovoski.
30:42He's Russian, or so he says.
30:45This is Raoul.
30:48Perhaps she couldn't remember my family name.
30:52I complimented her on her success.
30:55I felt stupid and tongue-tied in her presence.
30:58I wanted him to go away so that I could talk to her.
31:01All the time she kept up a flow of chatter.
31:04At one moment she disappeared behind a screen
31:07and I was left alone with the Count.
31:14A divine creature.
31:16I beg your pardon?
31:17Anya. Divine.
31:19In every way.
31:23Hari, Anoushkan. I'm hungry.
31:25I'm coming. Give a working girl a chance.
31:28Oh, but I do. I do. Every chance.
31:32Run along, soldier boy. You're out of your depth.
31:37Voila!
31:38Bravo!
31:39I will do.
31:40Very well.
31:42This is how he is all the time.
31:44Full of passion.
31:46Oh, these Russians.
31:50Annette.
31:51Hmm?
31:52I thought we might dine this evening.
31:54Oh, that would be lovely.
31:57But tonight...
31:58Run along, soldier boy.
32:03Annette.
32:04You see how famous I've become?
32:05I told you so.
32:07Have you seen Felicity and Mademoiselle?
32:10That old hag!
32:11No thanks.
32:13I shall never set foot in beastly Brittany again.
32:16Shall I, Boris?
32:18What is it? What is it?
32:19What is it?
32:20A trinket.
32:21Show me.
32:23Oh, Boris!
32:27You see?
32:29I've arrived.
32:30I told you I would.
32:32All the world is before me.
32:34Oh!
32:35You are cold.
32:36Then we must make you warm.
32:37Oh!
32:38You are cold.
32:39Then we must make you warm.
32:40Hmm?
32:55How far are you going, sir?
32:58As far as is necessary.
32:59For what?
33:01To make you understand.
33:03It is only your version.
33:05Yes, wait.
33:07Two years later, I was working in Lille on a newspaper.
33:10Art only as an office point.
33:12And I got a letter from Mademoiselle.
33:14I was to come home quickly to Denial.
33:17Annette was there.
33:27What did the doctors say?
33:40They say they cannot save her.
33:43The consumption has ravaged the lungs.
33:47Oh, well, she was our brightest hope, you know.
33:51She went to Paris to study at the Conservatoire.
33:54She hasn't...
33:57It's out.
34:01How long will it take?
34:04I don't know.
34:06Not much longer.
34:09That's why I sent for you.
34:12I felt always that you two were...
34:15Yes.
34:17Oh, blah.
34:19Where's Lissie?
34:21She attends her day and night.
34:25Poor dumb creature.
34:26She worships Annette, you know.
34:28I suppose Annette is all the things...
34:30...boy Felicity ever wanted to be.
34:33It is odd...
34:35...how people see only what they want to see.
34:41I'm glad that you came.
34:43You know what they say?
34:44That I will not get well.
34:46They say it behind my back.
34:50To my face, they are soothing.
34:52Like talking to a baby.
34:53I'll show them.
34:54I will not permit myself to die.
35:00Mother did because she was weak.
35:02I won't.
35:03I won't.
35:05I won't.
35:06You hear me?
35:08With beautiful life stretching before me.
35:12It is the will to live that matters.
35:15All the best doctors say so.
35:17I am not one of the feeble ones to let go.
35:20I already feel better.
35:21Infinitely better.
35:22I feel better.
35:23Infinitely better.
35:24Oh my God.
35:25I am sorry.
35:27Oh my God!
35:28I'm sorry.
35:29Oh my god.
35:30Uh huh.
35:32I'm sorry.
35:34Oh my god.
35:36Oh my god.
35:37I am sorry.
35:39I will.
35:42I'm sorry.
35:43I'm sorry.
35:45Oh my god.
35:47It's so sweet.
35:49This is so sweet.
35:50I am sorry.
35:52It's so sweet.
35:53Oh, Owl.
35:57Owl.
36:00I will live.
36:02I will.
36:24Bitch!
36:27Bitch!
36:29You see her, Owl?
36:31This is how she always is.
36:33She's glad I'm going to die.
36:36She's well and strong.
36:39Never a day's illness in her life.
36:42Bitch!
36:44Bitch!
36:46And all for what?
36:48What good is that great carcass of hers to her?
36:51What could she make of it?
36:57I don't mind what she says, Monsieur Raoul.
37:00Soon she will be dead.
37:02And we will be alive.
37:04You and I, Monsieur Raoul.
37:06She'll be dead.
37:08She'll be knowing the fires of purgatory.
37:11I'm a good girl.
37:13I'm respectable.
37:15I'm a Christian.
37:17She'll be dead.
37:18She'll be dead.
37:19But I'm healthy and strong.
37:22You hate me.
37:24You've always hated me.
37:26Because I am beautiful.
37:29You hate me.
37:32But I can charm you all the same.
37:34I can possess you, Felicity Bolt.
37:43Remember the candle, Raoul.
37:45Remember...
37:47Cedar.
37:51If I was to ask you...
37:54...you would get down...
37:57...on your knees...
37:59...before me.
38:01Carcass.
38:04Big.
38:06Fat.
38:07Doll.
38:09You're absurd.
38:11You're dying.
38:12But yes...
38:14...you will do it.
38:16To please me...
38:19...down...
38:21...on your knees...
38:23...for Annette.
38:27Please, Felicity.
38:29I ask you...
38:32...down...
38:35...on your knees.
38:46You see how...
38:48...with her stupid face...
38:51...how ridiculous.
38:53You may get up now, Felicity.
38:59It's no use...
39:01...scowling.
39:03I...
39:05...am your...
39:06...mistress.
39:08I...
39:10...own you.
39:15You're going to die.
39:17I'm going to live.
39:20We'll see about that.
39:27I was not there when she died.
39:29Apparently it had been a fearful death.
39:32Mademoiselle said she had fought against it like a mad woman.
39:35I will not die, do you hear me?
39:37I will not die.
39:39I will live. I will live.
39:42But even she could not cheat death.
39:45And so it was over.
39:46Annette Ravel was no longer with us.
39:50Or so it seemed.
39:54Six months later...
39:56...I was called to the home.
40:16I was called to the home.
40:22Felicity Bolt.
40:24She's so changed.
40:26After poor Annette left us, Felicity...
40:29...it was a total collapse.
40:31Perhaps in the grief.
40:33She took to her bed, was restless.
40:36Crying out in the night.
40:38Almost as though she had a fever.
40:40She's better now.
40:42Better?
40:44Sometimes she is as she used to be.
40:47And then quite suddenly so changed.
40:49Oh.
40:51Like a different person.
40:53Well, do you know...
40:55...she even plays the piano.
40:57Is that the scene?
40:59Sometimes.
41:01Only sometimes when she's different.
41:03She even sings well.
41:04She's even sings well.
41:07...
41:14...
41:27Dear, dear Raúl, don't look so surprised.
41:45No, I refuse to listen to any more of this ridiculous nonsense.
41:51It goes against the very structure of my belief.
41:53Why did you so make the whole thing up, or the unwitting dupe of an evil hoax?
41:58It is what we doctors, when we were finally summoned, observed.
42:02Then you also a fool. You doctors, what do you know?
42:05It is clear to me it was a hoax.
42:08Felicie had been studying Annette for years. You said so yourself.
42:12Now, with her out of the way, Felicie was able to have a moment of attention, her moment of glory.
42:18Up till then, the wretched Annette had always stolen it from her.
42:23You should have had a lawyer on the case. We'd soon have sniffed out the lie.
42:27We did have. Maître Cambellier, most eminent man of his day.
42:32I simply refuse to believe it. What do you think I am asking you to believe?
42:37That this girl's spirit could take over Felicie's body, could share it.
42:41Preposterous nonsense.
42:43Sir Campbell, you simply cannot believe it.
42:46Belief?
42:48I've always found belief a tricky one.
42:51Why not sit by and accept the evidence of the man in the street?
42:56Spirit after death is called to God.
42:58Spirit?
42:59What exactly do you mean by that?
43:01I've always found you a bit vague, you church chaps, when talking about spirit.
43:06God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
43:10Number of children.
43:12We must protest Sir Campbell.
43:14St John 4, 24.
43:16Yes, yes, yes, Parfid, but what does it mean?
43:18What is spirit? What is life?
43:21I confess I don't know.
43:23I, a doctor, am forced to admit that I haven't an inkling what life is or where it goes at death.
43:30The church is very clear about it.
43:31The church is not clear, Parfid.
43:33The church seeks to possess its flock, just like the girl Annette.
43:37Down on your knees, you say.
43:38Believe whatever we tell you.
43:40Well, I'm asking you, Parfid.
43:42What is life, hmm?
43:44What is it? Where does it go?
43:48You see how we experts bicker, my dear sir,
43:51when what we should do is just listen.
43:54I don't think you'd finished your story.
43:56Oh, no.
43:58I ran away.
44:00I couldn't help myself.
44:02But I didn't stay away.
44:04I went back several times over the year.
44:07And I saw Felicie gradually.
44:21Play something for me, Felicie.
44:23Don't mock me, Monsieur Raoul.
44:25I cannot play.
44:27But you can, Felicie.
44:28I've heard you.
44:29Don't mock me, please, Monsieur.
44:32People...
44:36People play tricks on me here.
44:38Such tricks.
44:40What tricks?
44:42They put the clocks forward.
44:44Days disappear.
44:46It's her.
44:48Isn't it?
44:50That bitch.
44:52She's still...
44:58Help me, Monsieur Raoul.
45:02Help me.
45:16Dear, dear Raoul.
45:17It's so good to be healthy.
45:19To be strong.
45:20Non essere tanto stupito, carissimo Raff.
45:23Amico mio.
45:25Chiesvi, Raoul.
45:27Uno baccio mio caro.
45:29Felicie.
45:30What?
45:31You're speaking Italian.
45:33Of course.
45:34I'm not as stupid as I look.
45:36And how do you look, Felicie?
45:38Come with me.
45:40Come.
45:43How do you look?
45:46Why?
45:47What it looks.
45:49I'm strong.
45:51And I'm a very fine actress.
45:53And I can play many parts.
45:55And play them very well.
46:00Kiss me, Raoul.
46:03You know that you want him.
46:05You know that you do.
46:18We must do something.
46:20I know that.
46:21But it has nothing to do with poor Annette.
46:23She was such a refined girl.
46:25So sweet and gentle.
46:27Poor Annette.
46:29Mademoiselle Felicie needs your help.
46:31She needs you.
46:35She needs you.
46:53Felicie.
46:56Are you alright?
46:57Of course.
46:59Raoul is leaving.
47:00Say goodbye to him.
47:02I'll pack you some food for the journey.
47:05Don't worry.
47:06I will look after her.
47:09I will contact the doctor if you think that is best.
47:11You must.
47:20Goodbye, Felicie.
47:22Monsieur Raoul.
47:23Yes, Felicie?
47:25It is her doing.
47:28Who's doing?
47:29That bitch.
47:31When she lived she always tormented me.
47:35And now that she's dead...
47:38She's bad.
47:39That one.
47:41She's bad, I tell you.
47:43She would take the...
47:45Bread from your mouth.
47:46The clothes from your back.
47:49The soul from your body.
47:50Oh dear God.
47:51Sometimes I hear her voice.
47:54Not in my ear.
47:56Not in my ear.
47:58Inside my head.
48:03She will drive me away.
48:05She will drive me away.
48:07All together.
48:09And then what shall I do?
48:12What will become of me?
48:14Where will I be then?
48:15Where will I be then?
48:21If it should come to it, Monsieur Raoul.
48:26I am very strong.
48:29With my hands.
48:32Far stronger than she can ever be.
48:35Very strong.
48:38She will not survive me.
48:45That was the last time I ever saw Felice Bolt.
48:49I came to London.
48:50I started working in Fleet Street.
48:52And I tried to put the whole story out of my mind.
48:55And then tonight.
48:57All these years later.
48:59I attend a lecture for my newspaper given by the famous doctor, Sir Campbell Clarke.
49:04And he is speaking about the case of Felice Bolt.
49:08And I have to tell him.
49:10For all our sakes.
49:12I don't believe it.
49:15The clothes from my back.
49:18The soul from my body.
49:23I won't believe it.
49:25I don't.
49:27Did Felice strangle herself?
49:29Or...
49:31I tell you.
49:33The history of Felice Bolt
49:36is the history of Annette Ravel.
49:38Ravel.
49:40You did not know her, gentlemen.
49:41I did.
49:43She was very fond of life.
49:45I promise you.
49:47I know.
49:56Where does the life go, you ask?
49:59If this is only the residence for life.
50:03What do you do if you find a burglar in your house?
50:06You get rid of him, don't you?
