- [Madeleine] Who are you?!

What do you want?!

- Your youth and your innocence.

- Your joy and your honesty.

- Your faith and your lack of worldliness.

- [Woman] Your love and your femininity.

(Madeleine groans)

- We will show you the sights

you haven't dared to imagine yet.

- And you will listen to things you never wanted to hear.

- [Woman] And what you'd rather not know.

- Go away!

Go away!

No!

It's dead.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

No!

No!

(glass breaking)

(Madeleine screams)

- Did you have the old nightmare?

- Yes, it was the same one.

It's monstrous.

And that strange song...

I can still hear it.

What does that baby mean?

- It's a totally unconscious projection

of your inner personality.

You try to avoid the truth by dreaming.

You're unable to face reality.

- What is reality, Franz?

- Why, this is reality. Your life with me.

- But where do you find such strength? Where?

- In my own world, in reality, and in study.

Do you understand me?

I've been trying to delve into the labyrinth of the mind.

Gives me inner peace.

- [Antonio] Mr. Schuman.

Mr. Schuman!

Mr. Schuman!

It's Esmeralda, sir. She's in labor.

- [Franz] Well, that's impossible. It's too soon.

I'd better go have a look.

- [Madeleine] I'll take a dip and I'll join you.

- [Franz] All right.

When did the pains begin?

- [Antonio] I don't know, sir.

Gaetano just came and told me.

He said the horse was in labor, so I thought --

- I told you to call me at once. You know that.

(moody synth music)

(fire roaring)

(horse whinnies)

(ominous music)

Easy.

She'll be able to deliver now without suffering.

I shouldn't leave her, though, while she's under hypnosis.

You'll have to go to Rome to do your shopping

by yourself, I'm afraid.

I'm sure you can understand.

- It must be wonderful to expect a child.

To see it coming into the world,

to suffer in order to give it life and hear it cry.

- [Nurse] There's nothing we can do.

It's dead.

- Dead. - Dead.

- [Nurse] Dead.

- [Madeleine] It would be wonderful to have a child.

I'll get dressed now.

- Now, don't be long, dear.

Madeleine?

- Yes?

- Would you really like to have a baby?

- I would give my life to have one.

I don't feel complete like this.

You can't understand the anguish

of a woman unable to realize herself,

a woman who has everything she could wish for in life,

but still feels a kind of pain in her heart.

Is it my fault if I can't have children?

(ominous music)

I'm sorry, Franz.

Forgive me.

- [Gaetano] Hello? Schuman residence.

Hello?

Hello? Who is this speaking?

Oh, good afternoon, sir.

I'll call your father. Just a minute, please.

Antonio?

- Yes? - Would you go tell

Mr. Schuman his son is calling from Paris?

Where are you going?

- I saw him walking in the park, now.

- [Gaetano] Are you sure? I thought I saw him in his study.

- No, no. He's in the park.

- [Gaetano] Well, hurry.

(moody synth instrumental)

- Mr. Schuman.

Mr. Schuman!

Your son's on the phone from Paris.

Mr. Schuman.

Oh, my god.

- Antonio.

What are your shouting about?

You know I don't like being disturbed when I'm working.

I was conducting an experiment.

I don't know if I can repeat it again.

- I didn't shout, sir.

It's the telephone. Your son from Paris.

- Well, then say so,

instead of coming out here and screaming.

Thanks, Antonio.

I'll take it. Thanks.

Luis.

You won the race and you're in Paris?

When are you coming to see me?

- I was about to suggest that you come visit me.

What do you say to a stag holiday here in Paris?

What do you mean you're all tied up?

Another one of your important conferences?

(Luis chuckles)

I bet it's something about parapsychology.

Any progress on those strange experiments you've been doing?

Yes.

You're too busy?

Sure. Nothing.

Anyway, the weather's terrible.

It's been raining all morning.

(camera shutter clicks)

But I've been having a good time.

(Luis chuckles)

By the way, the camera you gave me is great.

Wait 'til you see the shots I've taken.

(Luis laughs) (camera snaps)

Watch out, I'm getting better than you.

In case I don't make it racing cars,

I can always sell picture postcards on the Seine.

Okay, I'll come to Rome.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll let you know. (camera snaps)

Ciao. Okay.

- Try to come right away.

You know, I've really missed you, son.

I'll be waiting. Ciao.

(bossa nova instrumental)

- Well? Changed your mind?

- Mm-hmm.

- What's your name?

- Thomas. And yours?

- Madeleine. Are you American?

(Thomas chuckles)

- I'm from Geneva.

- How come you're in Rome?

- I'm studying at the university.

- What field are you in?

- Philosophy. What is this, third degree?

- No. It's just a way of getting to know you faster.

You've chosen a very interesting faculty.

Why, it's just the one I would have picked.

Where are you going?

- To the beach.

I go there every morning.

- Ah. - I like swimming.

- That's one thing we have in common.

(engine roaring)

(horn honking)

What's wrong?

- Well, you know, I didn't expect to come out here.

- Do you mind?

I think you'll find the swimming here a whole lot better.

(lock clacks)

(gates creaking)

- [Man] Good day.

(gates creaking)

- [Antonio] She's just delivered.

- She has? - Yes.

- Come on, what are you waiting for?

- [Thomas] Oh, okay.

- Hi.

How's Esmeralda?

Everything all right?

- Thanks. We have a beautiful colt.

All he does is eat.

- This is Thomas, and this is my husband, Franz.

Come on, Thomas, we'd just be in the way here.

- Let's go.

The smell of blood makes me sick.

- Get some air. You'll be all right.

- [Thomas] Mm-hmm.

- Do you feel better now?

- I guess so. It's always like that when I see blood.

I can't help it.

You know, that was really very embarrassing.

Why didn't you tell me you were married?

- Here's our beach. I mean, the closest one to the house.

The real one is down there, at the end of a very steep path.

- It's very beautiful here.

Do you live here all year round?

- No. We only come here in the summer.

We live in Marseille.

Franz is a ship broker.

Here, he can rest and dedicate himself to his hobbies.

- Well, one of them must be horses.

I could see how he looked at that horse, Esmeralda.

- You guessed right.

But what he likes best is the study

of occult sciences, like parapsychology.

Franz is an exceptional man.

- I'm sure he must be.

You wives are mostly alike.

When you first meet a man,

you make out like you're really in love with your husband,

but if you look under the surface, you find out you're not.

- Look, I'm sorry;, I must go in for a moment.

I'm not so sure you're right.

- Maybe not in your case.

- Ciao.

I'll be right back. Why don't you try the pool?

(soft organ music)

(man singing in Italian)

Well, are we gonna have that swim?

(man singing in Italian)

(water splashes)

Come on, the water's great.

- Okay.

(water splashes) (Madeleine yelps)

You were right. (water splashing)

(man singing in Italian)

(woman singing in Italian)

(man singing in Italian)

- What are your plans, Thomas?

- I don't know whether to kiss you or slap you in the face.

I have to take exams,

but then I'll have a really important decision facing me.

Should I live in a world I despise and look down on

because I don't agree with its values?

- Go on.

- Or should I refuse to compromise and live as I please?

I mean, just until I know what I want and where I'm going.

That's the most important thing in life.

Tell me, do you think I'm right?

- Yes, I think so.

- You know, it frightens me

to think that I might die

without having resolved all my doubts

and understanding the motives of God's word to man

of his true role in the universe.

It would be really marvelous

if you could offer an alternative to man.

I wish we could totally change our society,

and not the way everyone usually talks about it,

without violence.

I can't go along with bloodshed.

But who knows if violence

and bloodshed aren't justified sometimes

if it's the only way there is to defend things

that a man holds sacred?

The whole world's in ferment.

All you read about are peace and the dignity of man.

And yet, our century has been one of the most brutal

in all our history.

Things have just got to change.

We can't go on like we have been.

(Thomas chuckles)

Maybe I'm just a dreamer trying to change the world.

I'll bet that's just what you were thinking. Am I right?

- [Madeleine] No, you're wrong.

- Would you tell me what decided you to choose me,

with all the other guys hitchhiking this morning?

- Well, I liked your looks right away.

I thought you looked so pure. Don't you see what I mean?

An impression of strength, of a real man.

You're so sweet.

Thomas, you're alive.

You know, I feel very hungry all of a sudden.

I think I'll go prepare something to eat. All right?

- [Thomas] That'd be great.

- I'll call you when it's ready.

- [Thomas] Okay.

(moody synth instrumental)

(distorted crowd chattering)

- [Man] Remember to watch that fourth curve, okay?

- Okay.

- [Man] Here.

(announcer speaking in Italian)

(cars revving)

(cars roaring)

(cars crashing)

(fire roaring)

(man screaming) (siren wailing)

- Thomas! It's ready!

Come on, before I eat it all!

(birds chirping)

There's too much light in here.

- [Thomas] I guess so.

- Sit down.

- [Thomas] All right.

- Are you hungry?

- I sure am. I'm starving.

- I hope this will be enough for you.

- [Thomas] Sure, it's okay.

- Do you want to make love to a married woman?

Would you like to, hmm?

What is it, then?

- Look, Madeleine, if you just want to provoke me,

tell me right away.

If that's the case, I'll go away and leave you in peace.

- No, I just want to delay, as much as possible,

the magic moment of love.

I like to wait until the blood rushes in my veins

and to feel that you really desire me.

- [Thomas] I do.

(soft, romantic music)

- [Franz] Madeleine. Madeleine!

- It's my husband. Wait for me in the park.

- [Thomas] All right.

- [Franz] Madeleine.

(birds chirping)

(horse whinnies)

(horse whinnies)

- You're beautiful.

(horse whinnies) Easy.

Easy.

- I thought you didn't like animals,

or does it depend on where and when?

- I just don't like them as much as you do.

Well, domesticated animals get on my nerves.

It'd be great if they were free to do as they like.

I like things that are free.

- That argument went out of style

a couple of hundred years ago, don't you agree?

- It all depends on what you think freedom's all about.

- I'm afraid that's a subject

we could have quite a long talk about,

but this isn't the place.

There is something, however,

I'd like to discuss with you.

- With me?

- Yes. Madeleine.

She has hallucinations of a schizophrenic nature.

Most often, they have something to do

with past sexual problems.

The psychoanalyst she's been seeing says

that she should be given everything she wants,

and, of course, I agree.

She had some bad experiences during her adolescence.

And these experiences have negatively

affected her psychologically.

That's her problem, you understand.

- I really don't understand why you're telling me this.

- Because you can help, I think.

- I don't see how.

Well, I must leave. Mr...

- Schuman. Franz Schuman.

- It's late. I really have to go.

- Without saying goodbye to Madeleine?

She'd be hurt, you realize that?

Oh, there she is. You're in luck.

You needn't waste any time.

- Goodbye.

- It's been a pleasure.

(soft instrumental music)

- Come.

(boat motor rumbling)

(car engine roaring)

(cars crashing)

(fire roaring)

It's strange.

It's as if I were seeing you for the first time,

even though I feel I know you.

I feel it inside.

It's true, we know each other? Tell me.

- Of course we do, Madeleine.

- Don't mind me.

I don't know what's happening to me.

You know something?

I don't even know who you are or what your name is.

- I'm Thomas.

- Thomas.

That's right. Thomas.

Sometimes, I find myself in situations

that are too much for me,

as if I were pushed into them

by some power from I don't know where.

It's frightening.

It takes possession of me, body and soul.

A vortex of sensations,

irresistible sensations that transform me.

I don't know how to explain this.

Then I become myself again. You see?

- There must be a reason.

Some shock, maybe.

- Maybe.

Sometimes, I don't even know if it's real.

When I was young, I was going through a pinewood.

Franz says it's all a hallucination.

But I saw them in the woods.

I know.

I heard them.

(dramatic synth music)

Who are you?

What do you want?!

- We want your soul.

- Your happiness.

- We want your blood.

- Your life.

- Go away!

- I want you, Madeleine.

- [Woman] We'll make you the personification of our will.

- I had to submit.

Ever since then, there hasn't been a real me.

It's absurd and frightful.

- This is ridiculous, Madeleine.

It's just a fairytale, a nightmare.

You may have dreamt it when you were a child,

and it scared you, of course.

That's only natural.

- You don't believe me. Not even you.

- Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be all right.

You will, Madeleine.

You're just trying to run away from a life

that has no meaning for you, that you despise.

- Well, who am I, really?

- A little girl who's lost.

That's right.

(soft instrumental music)

- [Madeleine] It's been a wonderful day.

- [Thomas] It has.

- Thomas, do you think there'll be others?

- I can't be sure there will.

- You're funny.

(Madeleine chuckles)

I'm sure there will be.

You wait and see.

It shows that I was right all along, you know,

and that's important.

Now, I realize that our meeting each other

means as much to you as it does to me.

I wasn't sure.

- Really? You're very silly.

We better get going.

It's late and I must get back to Rome.

- We'll see each other tomorrow?

- I don't think so.

I'm going to study. I'm sorry.

- Day after tomorrow, then?

- Call me up.

- Let's go. Come on.

Must be late.

- [Thomas] What will your husband say?

- Who? Franz?

He's not my husband, he's my lover.

(Thomas chuckles) (boat motor rumbling)

(airplane roaring)

- [Chauffeur] Here we are, sir.

It's the limousine, right there.

(car engine revving)

(soft piano instrumental)

- Good morning, sir. - Hello.

- [Gaetano] Welcome back.

- [Maid] You came earlier than we expected.

- [Luis] Nice to see you.

- [Antonio] Did you have a nice trip, sir?

- [Luis] Okay.

- [Gaetano] Antonio, would you please get the luggage?

- [Antonio] Right away.

- [Luis] I see the vines are doing well.

- [Gaetano] You've been away a long time.

Please.

Would you like to wait here?

I'll see about your room.

- [Luis] Thank you.

- You're Luis, aren't you?

- Yes, in the flesh.

But how did you know me?

- Didn't you notice?

Just look around you.

The walls of this house are literally

covered with your photographs,

as if you were the world's greatest movie star or something.

Anyway, welcome.

- [Luis] Thanks.

I didn't realize it had become

sort of a hobby for my father.

Look at the headshot. It looks like a Picasso.

It's all distorted with the nose

over the eyes and the mouth, you know?

By the way, is my father around?

- [Madeleine] I don't think he'll be back

for at least a couple of days.

He's in London.

It must be important.

He's decided to interrupt his vacation.

- Is he trying to buy the British fleet

or is he going to sell out

so he can pack up and go off to Tibet?

Hmm?

(Luis chuckles)

I can't wait to see him.

You know, it's been a long time.

I live in the States with my mother. Dad's divorced.

(piano chiming) Unfortunately.

Well, we've been talking and I still don't know who you are.

- I'm his secretary, Madeleine.

- And I'm overjoyed.

(Luis laughs)

- [Madeleine] Thank you.

- [Luis] Do you have a lot to do today?

- I'll see to it that you don't get too bored

while you wait for your father.

- That's wonderful. My father is great.

He thinks of everything, even stocks the house for me.

- Oh, Luis, you're hopeless.

What a little hypocrite you are.

How surprised poor Franz would be.

- He'd be happy, I assure you.

That's because he'd react in the same way.

- I don't think so.

He never dreamt something like this would happen.

I'll bet you that he would never have gone.

- Imagine you're probably right.

- I know Franz, very well.

His insight is so frightening.

You know, he can foresee some things

and somehow prevent them.

- These days went by so quickly.

- [Luis] Too quickly.

- Like all beautiful things,

they finish before we could savor them fully.

(Luis sighs)

- Yes, I know, but there'll be others, Madeleine. I promise.

You know, we have the whole summer before us,

even with Father here.

I'd like to take a little trip, down the coast,

in our sailboat, all the way to Sicily.

- So would I.

I wonder how Franz would feel.

You're a dreamer.

I think I am too, Luis.

Dreams are fine 'til you wake up.

Awakening is always so terrible.

You realize things have changed

without you wanting it, Luis.

- The important thing is that

you don't wish things to change.

- No, I don't.

We've been so well together.

- I know.

- You have, too? - Mm-hmm.

(slow, moody synth music)

What's worrying you?

- Nothing.

I'm afraid of myself.

Or rather, I'm afraid of the other part of me,

the one you don't know, not even I know.

It's like an evil thing that appears and disappears

to such a point that I don't even know

which one is the real me.

One thing is for sure,

and it's that I would like to remain the one I was today.

- You know, I think it'd be easier if we tried together.

(plaintive piano music)

(eerie droning sound)

- Goodnight, Luis. It's late.

Not too deep.

- I've never been here before,

but this place seems familiar, this pond.

- Well, they all look alike.

What's the matter?

- I thought I heard a noise.

- Must have been the wind, that's all. Hmm?

Well?

- I know I heard a noise.

- Where was it coming from -- - I don't know.

I think in the cane field.

- I'll go take a look. You stay here.

What's wrong?

- Luis! I saw her!

- [Luis] Saw who?

- Please take me away. Please!

- [Luis] Just take it easy.

What'd you say his name was?

- [Madeleine] Thomas. Are you jealous?

(Luis groans)

- [Luis] Mm, what does he do?

- [Madeleine] He's a hippie.

He's my brother, silly.

- [Luis] Why didn't you say so?

- Be right back.

(water fountain trickling)

(crowd chattering)

Ciao, Thomas.

- Ciao.

- How come you called this morning?

- You're not sorry, are you?

- Don't be silly. I was just surprised.

- Well, the reason I called you was, I had a strange feeling

about you this morning.

It may sound weird to you now.

Well, it was sort of like a sixth sense,

a way of warning me that you need help.

And I wanted to level with you.

Madeleine, you live in another world,

in a world that can't be mine.

I think we should forget, for your own good and mine.

- You have another girl.

- [Thomas] Yes, I do.

You'll find someone else too, a man who can help you grow.

- You'll marry her?

- [Thomas] After I get my degree.

- Do you go to bed with her?

- Naturally.

- It's the most wonderful thing you can do

when you're in love.

- Yes. I want to live intensely, every moment of my life.

- But that's not what I came to see you about.

We're giving a big party tomorrow night at the villa,

in honor of Luis's return from the States, you know?

He's my husband's son.

I wanted to invite you.

There'd be some beautiful people there.

You can bring your girl along if you like.

I'd be happy to meet her.

- You're not mad at me?

- No. Why should I be?

(car engines whirring)

(woman vocalizing)

(uptempo rock music)

(woman vocalizing)

(people chattering)

- Well, don't you agree that the women's liberation movement

has grown stronger by the day?

Why, they even talk about it in parliament.

That's true, isn't it?

- [Franz] Oh, yes, it is.

- [Woman] There. You see?

I was right all along.

And how do you feel about it? Young man?

- [Man] I decided not to go at all this year.

- [Woman] I won't either.

I don't like the crowd you see out there these days.

- You should have seen them.

Some of those people who came there last year,

you would have been horrified.

Really, it was a...

- [Madeleine] I think so.

- [Man] Well, I have my agent wire ahead

with some rooms. - Thank you.

- [Man] At least a month before the festival.

- Well, I hope we'll be seeing more of you.

I mean that, really.

Hey, I'm sorry, would you excuse me?

- [Man] And I'm glad I went too

because it was a terrific festival.

Really, the best I've been in years.

(uptempo rock music)

- I know you'll think I'm boasting,

but I started a women's liberation group

when I was still in college.

You see, I've always been ahead of my time.

- Yes.

- Don't you find that young women today

are mostly empty-headed?

Young man?

- [Luis] Well, now, I don't know.

Guess it depends on the woman.

- Really? Do you mean you never noticed?

- Well, maybe I've just been lucky.

You know what I mean? - Mm-hmm, I do.

- [Luis] Up to now, I guess.

- [Woman] Mm.

- Always happy.

- Mm-hmm, I hope you always will be.

(people chattering)

Well, I can assure you of one little thing I've learned.

A man can be ruined by a woman like that.

- Would you excuse me? - Certainly, young man.

Youth today. Hmm.

(mellow rock music)

- You know, this is quite a little place they have.

I'll bet her husband is worth a fortune.

- He has something to do with boats.

- To your health.

- And I think he dabbles in psychology, too.

- [Luis] You certainly have good taste.

She's very pretty. - Thank you.

- [Luis] Would you be offended if I asked her to dance?

- [Thomas] No.

- [Luis] Come on, Mary, let's go, huh?

- All right. - And you can tell

your friend here not to drink

too much, huh? - Oh, I won't.

(people chattering)

- All alone?

- Looks that way.

Luis just took her away from me.

- May I sit down?

- Please do.

- Your Mary is really a beautiful girl.

I like her. Congratulations.

You can consider yourself fortunate.

- Want to dance with me?

- If you want to.

Yes.

(soft pop rock plays)

- [Franz] Excuse me.

I have to see to the others.

(people chattering)

(man singing in Italian)

- Sir? - A scotch, please.

- [Thomas] Well, do you think you'll be

staying here much longer?

- [Madeleine] Well, it's up to Franz. I really don't know.

He has things to attend to these days.

- So anyway, the first guy turns around

and he says to the other one,

"Not with my husband, you don't."

(both laughing)

You know what the children of Israel said

when they saw Moses coming down from the mountain?

Huh?

They said, "He's got the tablets, boys.

Our headaches are over."

(Mary laughs) (Luis laughs)

(eerie droning sound)

(man singing in Italian)

Now, did you hear the one

about the Englishman on the hijacked plane?

(Mary chuckles) Well, two of the engines

weren't working and the plane kept losing altitude.

And the Englishman just sat there drinking his tea

while the plane kept flying lower, and lower, and lower.

So, after they land and they interview all the passengers,

the hijacker is captured,

they asked the Englishman how he felt.

He says, "Monstrous, monstrous."

And they say, "Oh, you mean the hijacking, sir?"

He says, "No, damn it. The tea."

(Mary laughs)

- [Thomas] How many stories have you got?

- [Luis] Me? Oh, I could go on forever.

Are you kidding me? - That's good.

- [Luis] Anyway, I'll save them for later.

Thanks for the dance.

Could I have a scotch and water, please?

- Well, not too bad.

- [Thomas] Maybe I ought to take a couple lessons, huh?

(Mary laughs) (Thomas laughs)

(soulful rock instrumental)

(Mary sighs)

(Mary laughing)

Are you sure you're okay?

- I feel fine. Why?

I feel wonderful.

(Mary laughing)

- [Thomas] I've never seen you like this before.

(Mary laughing)

- Maybe she drank too much.

It happens when you're not used to alcohol.

(Mary laughing) - Hmm.

- Do you want to lie down for a moment?

- I want to dance tonight, the whole night long.

(Mary laughing)

(funky keyboard instrumental)

- Just look at that. The woman's mad.

It's disgraceful.

(frenetic saxophone)

- Well, she's pretty, in a way.

Take a look at that.

Honestly, I ask you, Paul,

did you ever see a display like that?

It's terrible.

(Luis laughs)

- [Man] Yeah, that's it. Bit more like it.

- Hey! - Yeah!

- Very good. - Yeah!

(people chattering)

- [Thomas] Shall I get a doctor?

- Don't worry.

Just let her rest.

Madeleine will look after her.

(people chattering)

- Oh, what's the matter?

- [Madeleine] It's all right.

(Mary whimpering)

It's all right. Come on.

- [Mary] Leave me alone.

- Have something?

- Strange.

I never saw her like this before.

- She'll be all right, don't worry.

Just let Madeleine take care of her.

How about that drink?

- I can't figure it out.

- That'll be all, thank you.

Lie down on the bed.

(soft, plaintive synth)

- [Franz] Madeleine.

You're neglecting our guests, aren't you?

(moody instrumental music)

- [Thomas] Madeleine? Is she feeling any better?

- She's sleeping, don't worry.

- [Thomas] I'd like to see her.

- I told you not to worry.

Now, Mary's asleep. You mustn't wake her.

She'll be up in a few hours, feeling better than ever.

We'll go and see her later, hmm?

- [Thomas] All right.

- [Madeleine] Enjoying yourself?

- [Luis] Sure. How's Mary?

- [Madeleine] Better.

(rock ballad playing)

- [Luis] Dresha. You remember what I told you, okay?

(Luis laughs)

- [Madeleine] You don't waste any time, do you?

- Well, you haven't exactly been alone tonight, either.

You know what I think?

I think you're just a little tease.

(Madeleine chuckles)

Now, isn't that right?

- Uh-uh. - Hmm?

(man singing in Italian)

(woman singing in Italian)

(man singing in Italian)

- [Gaetano] Goodnight.

- [Woman] Goodnight. Lovely party.

- Goodnight, sir. - Goodnight.

and the waiters were the only ones

Would you tell me exactly what you saw, miss?

his body was just coming to the surface.

- [Commissioner] Had you noticed whether he'd been

drinking too much?

- [Franz] Yes.

That's more than likely, unless it was a case of suicide.

There would be no other explanation.

- [Commissioner] That is, for the moment.

In any event, I'd like to see you all

in my office tomorrow morning.

It's just a formality.

The usual statements.

- For some time now,

terrible things have been happening to me.

Things that have deeply disturbed me.

I just can't go on like this.

- Is this an elegant way of saying goodbye?

- I don't know what I want myself.

For some time, I felt at peace with you, I felt protected.

Now, I'm afraid.

You fascinate me, but I'm afraid of you.

Who are you?

What strange power have you over me?

I have to think seriously about myself.

- Do you?

But you're only interested in the surface.

Isn't that it?

- Yes, of the woman who's talking to you now.

I don't give a damn about the other part of me.

- Well, you should care about it.

It's part of your past, don't you think?

The past is us.

Without the past, we believe each moment has no sense,

thinking it's gone is a mistake.

Is it just a thought, a fantasy, a reality?

Can't be erased easily.

It stays with us until the end of our days.

You must understand this. The past is us.

It's the only truth there is.

- I don't know.

I don't understand you.

Let me go. Please?

- You are free.

You can't ever say I forced you to stay with me.

- No, you didn't.

But sometimes it's worse.

That kind of slavery is sometimes better.

Once you break the chains, it's over with.

But it's different between us.

An invisible chain unites us.

A chain that you must help me break.

I need to be alone for some time.

I have to think,

to put some order in my brain.

Those nightmares that mix with reality,

the cane field, the booties, and finally, Thomas's death,

these things are killing me, depriving my life of joy.

- I was really disturbed by Thomas's death.

Life is a precious thing

and it's a terrible sin to throw it away.

You have all the time you need to reflect now, Madeleine.

I only want your happiness.

- Thank you, Franz.

(moody synth music)

- [Luis] What's worrying you?

- [Madeleine] Nothing.

I'm afraid of myself.

Or rather, I'm afraid of the other part of me,

the one you don't know, not even I know.

- [Thomas] You know, it frightens me,

to think that I might die

without having resolved all my doubts.

- [Madeleine] Thomas!

(Madeleine screams)

- Without the past, we believe each moment has no sense,

thinking it's gone is a mistake.

Is it just a thought, a fantasy, a reality?

Quite an act you put on. And I believed you.

You know what you are? You're a nymphomaniac.

(gun fires) (Madeleine gasps)

(gun fires)

Don't believe him, Luis.

Don't believe him.

- Well, this time, our experiment

seems to have really succeeded.

Wouldn't you say that was the case, Doctor?

- I wonder what strange worlds she's lived through.

- Another few minutes of hypnotic sleep

and your wife will awaken without remembering

anything at all of what she's been dreaming.

She'll just want to free herself of all the fantasies

that have been oppressing her,

and that should have the effect we want

on the workings of her subconscious.

- [Luis] Will these fantasies

she's been having repeat themselves?

- I wish we could be optimistic,

but the problem in these cases

is the subconscious makes its own rules

and operates regardless of the treatment she's been given.

We can't help that.

But up until now, this therapy has been very effective.

- It all began a few years ago after my accident.

She's had one crisis after another since then.

- You see, that was a great shock for your wife.

She thought you were going to die.

- And I thought she might die, too.

She was expecting a baby.

She had a miscarriage.

- [Thomas] Yes, she told us.

- But I wonder if you could explain to me

why the things she dreams about are always erotic.

- I believe there's a good reason.

She imagined she wouldn't be able to have

any children by you after your accident.

- Imagine her nightmares about not having

any more babies by you.

It could have started her dreaming

about having a baby with someone else.

- Yes, but in Barcelona,

a week after the accident, I had an operation.

I was completely healed. I'm normal now.

- That makes no difference.

The shock was there long before your operation.

She was desperate about losing the baby.

You see, it was more dear to her than her own life.

And that's where all the difficulty began.

Now, you see, through my use of hypnotic trance,

my two colleagues and I have been forcing

your wife's subconscious to eliminate her obsession.

(Madeleine groans) One word of advice, though:

don't consider her completely healed.

I would call that a mistake. (Madeleine groans)

- Luis.

- Darling.

How do you feel?

- Fine.

As if I were liberated from something weighing on me.

I feel at ease.

- Take her home now.

She's a lot better.

You're the best doctor she could possibly have.

- I will. Thanks.
