It's a beautiful part of the country. It'll help you recover quickly.
Your attacks are less frequent and Professor Osterman is a celebrity.
And I'm a crazy celebrity.
That's an outdated term, Ruth.
We're talking about rest.
Look at this as a holiday.
It's an apartment hotel, not a clinic.
- A most beautiful castle. - And you're sending me.
Not me, the best doctors in Switzerland.
They all recommended Prof. Osterman.
- They recommended Osterman? - Yes.
Osterman said you're case isn't hopeless.
Rest and therapy will help you get better.
You won't just kill me, you'll kill yourself too.
I'm looking after you now, Miss Medina.
I'm pleased.
- I'm Hilde, the head nurse. - I'm Pearl. Let's not be formal.
- Will you be with me all the time? - Only when necessary.
I came to ask if you need anything.
There's always been someone to ask if I need anything.
- I grew up in colleges. - Yes, I know.
I'm only familiar with the gardens at home and at the clinic.
We know, Pearl.
I hardly know my parents.
What's my father's job? Consul? Head of business? Spy?
And my mother? Was she with me when I came?
No, she wasn't.
I remember.
- Don't think about that now. - It's always on my mind.
When I was a child, I went through one of those gates...
.. I don't know which one,
and I saw streets, squares and lots of people.
I was terrified and asked everyone if they were my parents.
I asked: "How is it possible they're not here?"
I thought: "They must be. I'll find them."
But I never did.
The police found me and took me home.
It's nothing serious, don't worry.
When they told me my parents weren't in town,
or even in the country,
I realised how far away they really were.
I got very sick. I went mad with loneliness.
You'll be better from now on.
Soon you'll be completely well.
- I feel like I'm dying. - Don't think about it.
You're amongst people who want to help you.
The other patients too. Everyone.
I want you close to me.
That's what I'm here for.
I didn't want to kill you. Forgive me, Hans.
To kill us both, you mean.
I've never even thought about it.
- See you next week. - You're the only one I've never...
If you want to rest or change, your room is ready.
You'll be very comfortable. I'll be looking after you.
We have many guests, it's very pleasant here.
We'll help you to raise your spirits.
Prof. Osterman will see you shortly.
Come with me, I hope the rest will do you good.
- Take her piece. - Ah, yes.
Playing chess isn't that difficult.
Maybe...
- Good morning. Feeling better? - Yes, Prof. Osterman.
- I'm sure you'll be happy here. - Of course.
She's a serious case. She tries to control her homicidal mania,
but it's not enough and we must watch her very closely, Dr. Clay.
- Where's Cheryl? - Her husband's here.
I'm very pleased, she's practically cured.
- What do you mean? - There's no point keeping her here.
She can leave in a week's time. You've succeeded, Dr. Clay.
- I don't think the patient... - I know you're fond of her,
but Cheryl is cured and no longer contemplates suicide.
I must check on a patient.
Ask Cheryl's husband to drop by administration.
- Augusto, get the car ready. - Yes, sir.
Clay, inform Mr. Hume that the car is ready.
Anna!
You don't want to get better.
I'm not sick,
I don't want to kill myself or anyone else.
You all know that.
I'm not one of these madwomen in need of you.
I just want to make love, that's all!
Yes, you're fine,
except your desire to make love is excessive.
Go on, it's time for your shower.
- Good morning, Mr. Hume. - I know, visiting time's over.
I've abused Prof. Osterman's kindness.
In a week's time we'll be leaving together.
So Osterman suggests.
Aren't you convinced? The improvements are obvious.
I brought her here and I now know she's ready to leave.
Anyway, the business is hers
and my power of attorney has expired. She must come back to work.
Your wife attempted suicide several times.
She could try again, we still haven't eradicated the cause.
There's no deep-rooted cause.
It was a bad moment and now it's over.
Our partners want to see you, dear. The meeting's on the 25th.
Mr. Hume, the car's waiting. Drop by administration.
See you soon, darling.
It was nice of you to come.
Let me look at you. You look wonderful!
Things aren't perfect here, I know.
It's still a clinic.
Peter, get me out of here!
Osterman is sure you're getting better.
It's a prestigious clinic.
I'll never get better because I'm not sick.
This is just the way I am.
It's the doctor's who say I'm sick.
Why can't you love me like you did when we were children ?
Anna, don't start.
Remember when you used to come into my bed ?
You were the only who loved me.
Forget about that stuff.
Since I've grown up, you've stopped loving me.
I can get what I want with anyone,
but it's never like it was with you. The other's don't soothe me.
It's only with you that I...
- You've got to... - I won't come here again!
Calm down, I didn't come here to upset you.
Peter, I'm being reasonable.
Get me out of here, it's pointless.
I'm a nymphomaniac, what is there to cure?
It's the way I am.
Stopping me from living and shutting me in here won't cure me!
- I'll talk to Osterman again. - And what will you say?
Get me out! It was you who put me in here!
- You know why. - Yes, I know.
It was all right when we were teenagers,
but then suddenly it wasn't...
You're a coward!
I've got awful memories of you!
We'll discuss it next time I come to see you.
Do you still think I'm attractive?
You're beautiful.
I feel the cold so often because of you.
I call you, you don't come...
and I'm cold.
Goodbye, Anna.
I'd sooner kill you than start up those things with you again.
Pearl is suffering from a rare illness:
agoraphobia.
She can't stand crowds
and in extreme moments, doesn't want to see anyone.
Here's Mr. Hume!
Stay close by her. She never gets any visitors.
All right.
- Thank you. - I'm pleased she's better.
- Dr. Clay... - He's very conscientious.
But I think his worries are unfounded.
- See you next week. - Of course.
- Is that better? - Yes, thanks.
And if I make this move...
How careless, doctor!
This of all things! Who'd have thought it?
- I won. - You're unbeatable.
You can say that again!
- Should I call Pearl? - She must come of her own accord.
She won't, it's too soon. We can't leave her alone.
Try, but stay with her if it seems necessary.
All right.
- Understand? - Okay, professor.
- Am I interrupting? - No, not at all.
She beat me. You play.
I'm almost ready.
I'll beat you too.
Miss Anna, get dressed and leave.
Please.
I'm like these plants that need you.
- I can't. - You're so strong.
Don't do that. Leave.
I'll pull up all the flowers so you'll only think of me.
- If they find me with you... - Only of me.
Come in.
- Are you coming downstairs? - I don't feel like it.
I won't force you. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter.
I thought it was an order.
You must trust us. We'll look after you.
I feel better already.
See? Now you're here with me and I'm not hiding.
- I'll come back later. - Thank you.
I always go to sleep very late. Come when you want.
It's time to send the patients back to their rooms.
- Miss Anna isn't here. - Where's she gone?
It's the same old story.
Find Miss Anna.
As soon as she gets a chance, she disappears.
What's your name?
Francis.
Am I free here?
Of course.
Why?
I don't have to explain
my actions or thoughts to anyone?
Of course not. You're your own mistress here.
Here. But outside?
I'll be like I was before.
Lonely, crushed by everyone around me,
incapable of making decisions.
No, you're strong enough to fight
and conquer your past obsessions.
You're cured.
So why did you express doubts to my husband?
Can I ask you a question?
Outside, amongst people who don't need places like this,
isn't it normal to want to share your life with someone?
Yes, it's absolutely normal to feel this need.
There's one thing I don't think I'll ever be cured of.
I want to see you after I leave here. Please.
Don't say no. I'll come to see you.
I knew you'd be like this!
- Go now, it's late. - No.
Don't be difficult.
Don't you be difficult.
Why should I go?
You can't stay out late, because you...
Because?
You'd even send me away without a kiss?
Miss Anna!
They're looking for you. Quick, get out!
Don't let them find you here! Get out!
My place is here.
- Quick! They'll catch us! - Kiss me again.
Get out!
Here I am!
- Kiss me! - Don't be like this!
Let's stay here!
The three of us, together!
Yes!
You too! Give me a kiss!
Calm down.
Let's lie on the grass!
Yes, all together!
I don't want to go inside, I want to stay here!
Come on, let's go!
Come on.
No, please!
Kiss me!
What's going on over there?
Goodnight.
- See you tomorrow. - Goodnight.
I'll come to see you later.
What are you doing here?
I didn't think it was, professor.
- I thought I heard noises. - Yes,
I did too. In fact, I was checking.
I've already done so. Everything's fine, go to bed.
All right, goodnight.
Why are you so late?
I heard footsteps. I was scared of being seen.
Come on, let's go.
Ah, it's you. I was falling asleep.
I'll help you.
Thanks. I wouldn't have managed alone.
Well done.
Not like that, or I'll nod off again.
That's better now.
I'll do it.
Yes, of course.
I'll wait for you in there.
You think my feelings for you
stem only from that fact that you've looked after me.
But a new love is like starting a new life.
It's not unusual for patients to fall in love with their doctors.
I don't know what provoked my nervous breakdown,
but I never felt alive. You know that already.
I'm here because of my husband, to be cured of Harold.
Stop it, or this'll turn into a therapy session.
It all depends on your feelings towards me.
Help me!
I'll take a look round and come back.
Come here.
Lie down here.
Please!
Come here, please!
Music from your homeland?
Yes, I used to dance to it when I was a child.
You'll catch cold.
Who screamed?
- What happened? - I heard a scream.
It's horrible, unbelievable!
Hilde says it was fired from outside.
It's the arrow from the crossbow!
Hilda, pull yourself together.
We'll tell the others she's just sick, understand?
Don't let anyone in.
- No one must go in. - All right, professor.
- Who could have done it? - Hilde won't know anything.
She was too horrified to run to the window.
Let's go to the armoury. Where've you just come from?
She was with me, professor.
Let's check the other patients.
Let's go back upstairs!
Look, one of the swords is missing!
The killer's still here and he's armed.
He's a psychopath, a cold-blooded beast.
Check the patients without alarming them.
Call the police. I'll wait for you in my office.
I'll explain when you get here, inspector.
Come immediately, but with maximum discretion.
I think the killer is still here.
All right.
What else have you done?
You moved the body and took away the weapon.
Then you called the police,
asking me to come immediately with maximum discretion,
as if it were for a routine check
not for a massacre by a lunatic criminal!
You're crazy too! You behaved like an accomplice.
This is too much! You're insulting me!
You'll know it when he does!
Up till now you've only helped the killer.
- That's enough. - No, it bloody isn't!
You're obstructing the police!
We aren't capable of stopping anything from happening here.
Call them, sergeant.
It's Duval, I want Lefevre's squad here in ten minutes.
- And who is this? - Dr. Clay, my associate.
Everything's under control.
Why didn't you call the police when you discovered the killings?
So, the killer is here, armed and ready to kill again.
- Right, Dr. Clay? - Yes, inspector.
He only kills in bizarre ways. Right, professor?
Right.
All we can do if offer him someone as bait.
An interesting idea.
He's a bloodthirsty madman. You can't handle him!
I understand your fears, but the inspector's right.
It could put a swift end to this threat.
Cheryl Hume is perfect for an experiment like this.
It would be interesting from a clinical point of view.
Can you guarantee the safety of everyone here?
When Lefevre's squad gets here, we'll guarantee it in full.
- Tell us what we have to do. - I won't tell you anything.
I'll talk to Mrs. Hume. The less you know the better.
What did the inspector say?
I must know!
I want to help you. I'll be the bait.
- I won't allow it. - But I'm better now.
No, Cheryl, you're still not well.
Now I see things clearly.
Let me, Francis. I want to help.
You've all done so much for me!
Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine.
All right.
If this is what you want.
After him!
Now I understand everything!
He wanted to kill me.
By killing five others, it would be difficult to pin the blame on him.
It's obvious now. She was the real target.
Hume created the role of a monster to cover his tracks.
- I lost him in one of the corridors. - They're being patrolled!
He's inside. Shoot on sight!9
