The Killer of Dolls

is the self-analysis
of a psychopath

whose mental illness is based

on one of the basic elements
of criminal psychopathology:

The drama
of the double personality.

- I'm sorry, Paul.
- Goodbye.

- Here's the park.
- I've never been there.

- Shall we go inside?
- If you like.

I told you I'm a jealous guy

and you shouldn't
stare at boys like that.

Don't be silly.
Give me my glasses.

- Stop it.
- Give them back.

Hello Paul, how was
your last day at school?

They chucked me out.

Useless.

Be careful.

- See you tomorrow, John.
- Bye, Mr Bronson.

- Goodbye, John.
- Goodbye, little devil.

Marlon, don't be so cruel.

Hey, kid, where are you going?

- Just going for a walk.
- I'm closing the park.

Don't worry,
I know how to get out.

Bloody kids.

Give me my glasses,
I can't see.

What's up?

You didn't tell me
you were having a period.

- I'm sorry.
- Sorry!

That's what you always say.

- Now what do I get?
- I'll do it.

You'll do it?
No chance, sweetie.

Please give me my glasses.

Careful...
don't step on them.

Don't scream, I won't harm you.

Don't move.

You can take the body now.

Go on.

Are you the park keeper?
Come here a minute.

Lift.

Come on.

- What's wrong?
- I feel faint...

John, help me.

- Hold him.
- Why'd you bring him?

You know
he can't handle such things.

Leave him alone.

- Paul, my son.
- Leave him!

Margaret!

I feel sad.

I'm very sad...

I'm tired of walking.
My feet hurt... Ai Ai Ai...

No, I don't like bike-rides.
We could fall...

No, don't squeeze me so hard...
Ai Ai Ai!

I got you...
Now see what I do.

What happened?

Who broke the glass?

Father, who was that child?

It's Robert,
a real little devil.

Walter's grandson.

Who's Walter?

An old friend who spends
his days in the park...

You should watch that kid.

He's a potential killer.

Get some water.
You'll set the park on fire.

Get out! Get out!
Go on...!

Paul, are you trying
to drive me crazy?

Put this shit away.

Yes, mother, whatever you say.

Don't scream, mother.
It makes you look ugly.

I must tell you something...

There's a killer on the loose.

- What do you mean?
- Nothing...

just be careful.

Perhaps he's already here,
and you don't know it...

- I have a special toy.
- Do you collect them?

Yes, I like to collect things.
Don't you?

Yes, I collect hearts,
it's a lot of fun.

What kind of hearts?

The kind that grown-ups
carve on trees in the forest.

That's extraordinary.
I never thought of that.

A collection of hearts...

- My mother said it's stupid.
- She's the stupid one.

- Hey, what's your name?
- Paul

I'm Robert.
Would you like to be my friend?

If you're nice, of course.

I promise.

Let me go.

Hey...
What's going on?

Are you mad?
Do you want to kill him?

What do you mean?

We were only playing.

Isn't that right, Robert?

Yes, we were playing.
He's my friend, grandad.

What did you do
with my matches?

I burned Margaret in the park.
Leave us alone.

- Hello, Madame Countess.
- Yes, hello...

- You know me?
- I'm Paul.

- Paul?
- The gardener's son.

Oh... I thought your parents
only had a daughter.

You're mistaken...
I don't have a sister.

What do you do?
Are you at school...?

...or working?

School, I want to be a surgeon.

That's interesting.
I like ambitious boys...

I need to talk to your parents.

Is it urgent?

Just that right now
they're committing a crime...

But perhaps they've finished.

I'll call them for you.

Father, the countess is here!

Hello, countess,
what a nice surprise.

How can I help you?

It's not important.

Just to let you know you can
begin your vacation tomorrow.

My head butler
will look after the plants.

That's not necessary,
Paul can do it.

I always thought
you only had a little girl.

I'm afraid not.

We have a son
who is nearly 20 years old.

And he's going to be
a fine surgeon.

We had hoped so,
but he's been expelled...

and told not to come back.

That's why he's not going
on holiday with us.

I'm sorry.

It's not really that bad,
there were worse students than me.

But a teacher kept hounding me.

He wasn't happy
until I was suspended.

That's not true, Paul.

It's not your teacher's fault
you have a fear of blood.

So you're leaving tonight?

Are you still studying?

No, I'm writing a novel.

Using my imagination.

Don't worry, father,
I'll take care of the garden.

I'll watch over it...

Listen to this:

"The beaches were empty."

"Flesh burned by the sun."

"They returned from vacation.
The house smelled of damp."

"They opened the windows."

"They were..."

"like strangers..."

"even after 22 years of marriage."

"They returned to the grave,
to get rid of the luggage,"

"those mysterious objects
of travellers."

"How many secrets
can a suitcase hide?"

"Taking out the clothes,
Ophelia screamed in horror."

"Amongst her soiled clothes
she found a man's severed hand..."

Please, Paul!
Don't be so horrible.

The characters from my story
have nothing to do with you...

It's not that bad, mother.

- Hi.
- Hi, Robert.

I caught these.

They're a little damaged,
but you can have them...

What are you studying?

Something difficult.
You wouldn't understand.

Why? Do you also think
I'm just a child?

No...

I know you're a young man
with a beautiful girlfriend.

I had a girlfriend.

I don't see her anymore.
She was a bit dumb...

After all,
she was just a doll.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No, no girlfriend.
I'm completely free.

You've never carved a heart
on a tree?

No, never. Why?

You're a grown up.

Other grown-ups like you
kiss girls and carve hearts...

I've seen it in the park.

Now my parents are gone,
I shall get a girlfriend.

They left you alone,
so you can do anything you want.

Anything.

Why won't you tell me
what you're studying?

Alright...

I want to be
a cardiovascular surgeon.

In the thoracic cavity of
the corpse that's been emptied,

an inserted pacemaker appeared
next to the pulmonary vein.

What's a cardiovascular surgeon?

He operates on the hearts
of sick people.

You've got so many cool things...

You tear the heads off
like I do.

- What's this?
- A stethoscope.

- What's it for?
- To check the heartbeat.

- How does it work?
- Sit down here.

What can you hear?

You're worthless,
a good for nothing.

Why do you wear that mask?

You look so weird.

Why's your hand shaking?

If you don't become a surgeon,
you can be a butcher.

What are you doing?

Stop it, Paul!

Gardener!

- Are you the gardener?
- Yes, how can I help you?

I'd like to buy a rose
from one of the bushes,

if that's alright with you.

Wait here for me.

Come.

This one...

No, I don't sell flowers.

But I don't want children
to be born wanting.

What a strange guy.

What are you laughing at?

Look at them!

- Good evening, Paul.
- Good evening, madam.

- May I come in?
- Please, feel free.

You're very strange.

- Do you need anything?
- I think so...

Creatures used to solitude...

always need something
from each other.

Why don't you turn on the light?

I thought
you'd like the darkness.

Only for certain things...

I'm going to my room.
I should change...

I'm almost naked.

- Paul...
- Yes?

Would you mind sleeping
at my house tonight?

I've never slept anywhere but here,
but I'd like to...

It'd be a new experience.

Paul, why does it smell
like burnt meat?

I tried to cook my own meal
for the first time.

Is there a girl with you?

I don't know.

Perhaps Katherine came back.

And who's Katherine?

Nobody, it was nothing.

Try not to make too much noise.

Even though
my husband's not here,

it's best no one sees you.

Come on...

My room is downstairs,
remember that.

And don't lock your door.

Don't worry...

I won't.

I'm scared.

No...

I won't sleep with her.

Paul...

Open up.

What's going on, René?

The fuse blew,
we had a power cut.

I thought my lady
could use a candelabra.

I didn't notice.
When did it happen?

Just a few minutes ago.

How did you know I was here?

I didn't, I was going to leave
the candelabra in your room.

Thank you, René.

But my room is downstairs.

- Good morning, my sweet.
- Good morning, mother.

Who's he, mother?

The gardener's son.

Do you want anything?

No, nothing.

You can leave then...
And cut me some flowers.

Here he is.

About time.

Did you oversleep?

I don't usually have to open
the gates.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, Paul.

I can help you water the plants,
can't I?

- Is that alright?
- Yes, but stay close.

- Of course.
- Let's go then.

So, Paul...

What's this axe for?

To cut wood.

Why do you act so strange?

You devil, why did you kill
that doll in the park?

Because I don't like dolls.

I don't like them either.

Go find your grandfather,
I'll see you later.

- Did you sleep well?
- Yes, very well.

And why did you lock
your bedroom door?

You told me not to do it...

that's why I did it.
No offence.

What's up?
Didn't you understand me?

What didn't I understand?

Why do you think I asked you
to sleep at my house?

Alright...!
No need to spell it out.

You think I'm stupid?

No...

Can't I just like you?
Do I have to sleep with you?

Of course not.

Then leave me alone...
Leave me alone...!

Why are you doing this to me?
Why?

Don't be childish.
Why don't you like the countess?

Stop it!

You could kill her.
Why are you waiting?

I don't want to!
I don't...

I don't want any more blood.

You might not want to,
but I need your hands again

I'm stronger than you.
And I'm part of you forever.

If you kill me,
we'll die together.

That's the only way out,
but you're a coward.

Damn you!

Haven't you ever been
with a woman?

Does your silence mean
you've been with a man?

I've never kissed anybody,
right?

And I want a girl
who hasn't either.

Listen, Robert...

you know
the countess's daughter?

You know her name?

Robert?

I fooled you.

Grandfather,
he wanted to kill me.

It's a fake knife, look!

See, I fooled him... look!

I'm sorry about that.

It doesn't matter.

Mr. Bronson, do you know
the countess's daughter?

Yes, she's a very nice girl.

Hello.

I've not seen her before.

- Who are you?
- I'm Audrey.

I'm Robert.

- This is my friend Paul.
- Pleased to meet you.

Me too.

Thank you for the lovely flowers
you gave my mother.

So... it's true...

What do you mean?

This is boring.
See you later.

I didn't know you were the gardener.
I've not seen you before.

It's the first time I've done it,
and I'm not very good at it.

My parents are on holiday,
so I'm alone.

Do you mind if I join you?

I need somebody to talk to.

I get lonely in this house.
Do you understand?

There's not many young people
around here, right?

Sort of, but this is the first
time I've ever come here.

To see me?
Or because you were bored?

What do you think?

I think
they're heading to paradise.

Sit down here and I'll tell you
about my collection.

Maybe a drink?

I'm sorry, I've never been
in a situation like this before.

I don't know what to do.

Whose dolls are these?
Do you have a sister?

Take that off, Paul.

Why, mother?

You made me get used to them.
It's too late now.

What do you mean?

Maybe you didn't notice.

Who does this remind you of?

- Remember me, Mother?
- Paul!

I'm not Paul.

I'm your daughter Katherine.

- Don't be so cruel.
- Watch out!

What's going on?

You should know better
than anyone else.

You made me believe
I was your little Katherine

and as though
she had been reborn...

you dressed me in her clothes...

made me play with her dolls.

You can't remember that, Paul.
You were too young.

I remember everything, Mother.

Sometimes father said:
"Don't call the boy Katherine"

I'm so sorry, Paul.
I didn't mean any harm...

I just couldn't accept
my little girl was dead.

No, mother,
don't deceive yourself.

You got what you wanted.

I don't understand.

You created
a double personality inside me.

And now I've grown up...

...hating dolls and women.

Yes, mother...

Your precious Katherine
is a human beast.

Whose dolls are these?
Do you have a sister?

I did...

She died before I was born.

But my parents, grieving their loss,
had me play with her dolls.

Why do you keep them?

I don't know.

Maybe I'm afraid
to answer that question.

You've been messing around, eh?

What are you doing here?
How did you get in?

Through the kitchen window.
I thought you were experimenting.

And I wanted to frighten you.

You experiment with things?

No, Robert meant
my surgical studies.

For which I'm going to the city
to buy some equipment...

Do you want to come with me?

We can take my car.
But you'll have to drive.

Do you like mannequins?

I love them...

They look like you...

It'd be wonderful to have
a collection...

Do you know
where they make them?

- How much are they?
- Prices vary.

This one for example...

500 francs.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Let's go.
I didn't know they cost that much.

Why don't you leave
your studies?

Isn't there anything else
you like more?

- You, for example.
- Watch out, Paul.

You're strange.

I'll walk home. Please take
the car to the garage.

- See you tomorrow.
- See you forever.

Good evening Mr. Doctor...
have you seen Robert?...

He left me alone. I'm very sad.
I don't like to be alone.

What's wrong with you lot?

Are you jealous of Audrey,
the doll from the park?

Yes, you are jealous.

I saw it in your eyes...

And I won't stand for it.

- They're leaving.
- Let them go...

It's their loss.

- Kill!
- Leave me alone.

A broken heart over the Grey
waves of the cloudless sky...

she was staring at the black
butterflies in the corner.

She cried.

- What are you saying?
- She was my daughter.

The moon laughed at her tears.

- You wretched creature.
- Not my wig!!

I wish you'd never been born.

- Calm down, come on...
- Be quiet!

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Can we see Inspector Maurice?

That park
is well known to us kids.

Even though it closes early,
there's an entrance in the back.

We call it "Paradise".

Many couples go there.

What happened
in the greenhouse?

We were very stoned.

Everything was confusing...

I remember there was
a strange mask...

But it could have been
the effect of the drugs...

When we woke up
the girls were gone.

And the glass door of
the greenhouse was shattered.

That's it, you can go,

but don't leave the city
without telling us.

- Show them out.
- This way.

What's up?

This is bad.

The fourth killing in a month...

The bodies were found
near the Montpellier river.

Someone threw them in
and the water swept them away.

They were cut up...

and the hearts removed.

How did you get in here?

The door... it wasn't locked.

Liar!
I locked it before I left.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for the gardener.
I want some more flowers.

I'm having a party tonight
in the Golden Room.

My husband
returns tomorrow and...

I'm celebrating
the end of the summer.

Excuse me, please.

You should learn to relax.

You're too serious
about everything.

The party starts at 10
and you're invited.

See?
I don't hold grudges.

And don't leave the door unlocked
next time.

I hate misunderstandings.

What are you doing in my room?

I'm sorry.

What are you looking for?

You gave me the keys
so I could come anytime.

But not into my room.

I came in here
so mother wouldn't see me.

So, if you heard what we said...

...you should know
there's no problem...

...no reason to hide

I'm sick of her insulting me
for not being her lover.

You should tell her about us.

Audrey, take your clothes off.

Strip!

Do it.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Thank you, Audrey...
thank you.

It's the first time
someone cried for me.

Did you notice?

I got rid of the dolls.

I'm not alone.

I love you.

- Do you like it, mother?
- No, you're much prettier.

But there is...
a strange resemblance.

- Take it to my room, please.
- Yes, miss.

Help me.

Is she really a countess?

Why not see for yourself?

I can't believe you have
such a grown-up daughter.

- You think I'm that young?
- Yes.

- Hi...
- Hi.

So, are you coming here or not?

The guests are still arriving.
But don't worry.

I'll see you later tonight

I'm going to show you something
you'll like very much.

Something I'm collecting
that affects both of us.

- Can't you tell me what it is?
- No, you must see for yourself.

And I have a surprise for you.

- Can't you tell me?
- No, one surprise for another.

- You know something?
- What?

I love you.

No, I love you.

Then we love each other.

All right.

Don't be late...
I'll be waiting.

The rest isn't important,
but I can't understand...

why a beauty like you
would marry Geraldo.

- I just don't understand.
- Really?

I'm going to get a drink.

Who's there?

Did I scare you?

I couldn't wait any longer.

Marvellous...

It's marvellous.

What a party, everyone's here
but where's your daughter?

She must be in her room...
but I'm here.

Do you want to dance?

No, I'm tired.

- Is anything wrong, Paul?
- No, nothing.

- Remember my little friend Robert?
- Yes, why?

He's gone missing.

- Can you help me?
- What?

Do you want to see
an open heart operation?

I don't know
if I can stand it.

Was that the surprise
you told me about?

No, it's not.

But after your gift,
mine doesn't matter.

To tell the truth,
it's not finished yet.

Prepare the instruments,
everything is in the cabinet.

I want to show you how unjustly
they suspended me at med school.

What are you going to do?

This mannequin is a woman
who needs an operation.

Help me undress her,
would you?

I'm starting to like this game.

Listen, can we get away?

I'm going to cut you,
but don't worry...

you know I love you.

Why is your hand shaking?

If you can't be a surgeon
you can be a butcher.

I don't permit comments.

There's no anaesthetic, Paul.

No anaesthetic...

I'm sorry,
we'll have to tie you.

No, Paul, stop it!

I thought it was a joke,
don't ruin that mannequin.

- Put that doll on the table.
- No, Paul, don't make me!

What the hell are you doing?

Watch me, Audrey, this is the most
important operation of my life.

If you're afraid of blood now...

...what will happen when you
must perform a real operation?

Come closer, Audrey...
Now look...

No, you're insane

I'm going to use the instruments
we bought together.

Paul, open the door

Paul, open up.

Keep quiet, it's your mother...

I'll get her away from here.

Wait here, don't leave.

Paul, open the door.

What do you want?

Is madam satisfied
with the service?

No she is not satisfied!

- I... I was waiting for you.
- Quiet...

Who are you afraid of?
Your father or my husband?

I'm afraid of the night.

...And of you.

Really?
No need to insult me.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

I wish you were like this
all the time.

So there you are...

Where were you hiding him?

She wants to keep it
all for herself.

Don't make so much noise.

So, how was the party?

Who cares?
Our party starts right now.

- René...?
- Yes, madame.

Serve the gentleman
some champagne.

I'm off to get changed,
but I'll be back.

- You can go now.
- Very well, madam.

- You can stay if you like.
- I prefer to leave, madam.

- No kissing.
- Don't be scared.

What are you doing?

René, you're so handy.

Take me!

It's about time...
after serving you all these years.

- The master has arrived.
- Very well.

- Is everything ready?
- Everything, ma'am.

Go and meet him.

Come on.

Where's the gardener?

I'm sorry, sir.

- He must be asleep.
- Asleep?

What are you doing here?

How dare
you go in my daughter's room.

I don't...

I don't remember anything.

Is Audrey back?

Back? From where?

Three single roses
for the master's bedroom.

- And who are you?
- I'm Paul...

...the gardener's son.

Get me a date with him.

Sir, you should know
he is the countess's lover...

and your daughter's boyfriend.

How annoying.

Audrey?

It's not possible.

Paul,
it's your best collection.

But you needed
Audrey's heart...

Accept me
for as long as you live.

- So she's still hysterical?
- Yes, sir.

- Go see if you can sort it out.
- Yes, sir.

Don't you think it's beautiful,
Paul?

Audrey is dead, mother
because of Katherine...!

Because of the beast
you created, mother!

THE END
