00:02:00I can't forgive him, father. I can't.

00:02:04Calm yourself, sister. You must try.

00:02:06I have tried, but I will never forgive him.

00:02:10To forgive is the prime duty of the righteous.

00:02:13I don't care, father.

00:02:16But this man has been dead for a long time now, sister.

00:02:19He has no soul to enter paradise.

00:02:21May his soul burn in hell.

00:02:23Just the thought of what he did to me

00:02:25makes me want to take revenge on all men,

00:02:28to snuff them out like he snuffed out my happiness.

00:02:31No, sister. That's enough.

00:02:34You are no longer in a state of grace.

00:02:38You have allowed your mind to be poisoned.

00:02:40You must find the path back to God.

00:02:42I cannot absolve you.

00:02:44You must pray for God's guidance.

00:03:38Let us praise Jesus Christ, our Lord.

00:03:41Good morning, sister.

00:03:43Good morning, sister Gertrude.

00:03:45Good morning, sister.

00:03:47Good morning, good morning.

00:03:49Come on, up you get.

00:03:51Good morning, sister.

00:03:52Good morning, sister Gertrude.

00:03:54The Lord does not like lazy people.

00:03:57Let us praise the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

00:04:00Never.

00:04:01Alphonse, how many times have I told you

00:04:03to treat the Lord with respect or the devil will take his due?

00:04:05You tell him, sister.

00:04:06The devil doesn't scare me.

00:04:08Don't underestimate his power.

00:04:09Good morning.

00:04:10Good morning, sister.

00:04:11Come along, Bichette.

00:04:14Come along, Bichette.

00:04:15It's time to get up.

00:04:17When will you decide to wear the pajamas we give you?

00:04:19It's so much more hygienic.

00:04:21Please send me Florence.

00:04:23I need Florence.

00:04:24She's like a daughter to me.

00:04:25I know, I know.

00:04:26You've got lots to talk about.

00:04:27Look at these legs, full of spring.

00:04:31And the one in the middle is doing its thing.

00:04:34Bichette, shame on you.

00:04:38You are both vulgar old men.

00:04:40Now stop behaving like children and get dressed.

00:04:42If you are late for breakfast, you will both go without.

00:04:49Alphonse, Franklin, André.

00:04:50Morning, sister.

00:04:51Morning.

00:04:52I want you in the surgery at eight.

00:04:54Good morning, Marie.

00:04:55Come along.

00:04:56That's it.

00:04:58That's it.

00:05:05Excuse me, nurse.

00:05:06Yes, Sister Gertrude.

00:05:07Will you please take Marie to the bathroom?

00:05:09Of course.

00:05:12Sister Gertrude, I'll take breakfast in my room.

00:05:16And be sure the tea is hot, will you?

00:05:18I'm afraid you can't, Baroness, without Dr. Poirot's permission.

00:05:21Quite ridiculous.

00:05:23Everybody's up, Sister.

00:05:28Absolutely no respect for the country's aristocracy.

00:05:31One of my ancestors went to bed with Napoleon.

00:05:33Keep still.

00:05:35Here we are.

00:05:37You see, it didn't hurt at all, did it?

00:05:38No, but it might have, Doc.

00:05:40I don't know what to make of you, Franklin.

00:05:42After all those wounds you got in the war,

00:05:43a little thing like this is child's play.

00:05:45Sister Gertrude.

00:05:46Yes, Dr. Poirot.

00:05:48A swab and a scalpel, please.

00:05:49A scalpel?

00:05:50Yes, Doctor.

00:05:51What are you going to do with the scalpel?

00:05:52There's nothing to worry about, Franklin.

00:05:53You're not going to cut me open, Doc.

00:05:54Look the other way and you won't even notice it.

00:05:56No, no.

00:05:57Stop being silly.

00:05:58No, no.

00:05:59No, no, no.

00:06:00I know military regulations.

00:06:01Backwards, Doc.

00:06:03We can't operate without the permission of a certain gentleman.

00:06:12Hurry up, Sister.

00:06:17Sister Gertrude.

00:06:20This is for the scalpel.

00:06:25What's wrong with you this morning?

00:06:27You know what's wrong, Doctor.

00:06:29You can't still be suffering from post-operative shock.

00:06:32It's cancer, Doctor.

00:06:34Cancer.

00:06:35I'm afraid I'll have to ask Sister Mathieu to substitute for me.

00:06:39You know, you're far too good-looking to be a nun.

00:06:42Now, please, Peter.

00:06:43Every morning you say the same thing.

00:06:44And I've told you before, I don't want to hear such nonsense.

00:06:47That doesn't mean it's not true.

00:06:49If you keep it up, I'll have to start avoiding you.

00:06:53There.

00:06:55Beats me why you took the veil.

00:06:57It's such a waste for someone with a figure like yours.

00:07:00Must be a real turn on in a bikini, huh?

00:07:02No, Peter. Stop provoking me. You shouldn't...

00:07:04Sister Mathieu.

00:07:06Yes, Sister Gertrude.

00:07:07Will you please help Doctor Poiret in the surgery this morning?

00:07:10I'm not feeling well.

00:07:11You understand, don't you?

00:07:13Of course.

00:07:14I'll come at once.

00:07:17I think Sister Gertrude could freak out any second.

00:07:19Don't say that.

00:07:21She's been very sick.

00:07:23She needs our help.

00:07:30Oh, my God.

00:08:01Oh, my God.

00:08:27Sister Gertrude.

00:08:29What are you doing?

00:08:31Give it to me.

00:08:39Another couple of minutes and...

00:08:45Not even a student nurse in her first week would be so irresponsible.

00:08:48We've worked together for over ten years.

00:08:50I consider you the most reliable assistant I've ever had.

00:08:54I want to know what's wrong.

00:08:55Why are you behaving this way?

00:08:58I am not well, Doctor.

00:09:01I gave you a thorough check-up only last week.

00:09:03All the tests have proven negative.

00:09:05That's not true.

00:09:07Don't hide the truth from me.

00:09:09All right.

00:09:10What are your symptoms, Sister?

00:09:12I suffer from terrible headaches, Doctor.

00:09:15I see.

00:09:16What else?

00:09:17I have blackouts suddenly.

00:09:19I have no...

00:09:20no control over what I do.

00:09:23My eyes won't focus.

00:09:29I need more...

00:09:31morphine.

00:09:32That's never been a cure.

00:09:36Then put me in the observation ward.

00:09:39When I hospitalized you before, you had a tumor, and it was removed.

00:09:43Your symptoms now are purely psychosomatic.

00:09:47No, Doctor, you're wrong.

00:09:49It's not unusual for someone who's had an operation to suffer from anxiety.

00:09:53But I give you my word, the tumor was benign.

00:09:56How do you know? You're not a specialist.

00:10:01I beg you to help me admit it for observation.

00:10:08I shall make the same request to the Mother Superior.

00:10:12Do whatever you think is best.

00:10:21What's going on here?

00:10:23Take the twins back to their rooms.

00:10:26Come along, Josephine.

00:10:29Now, now, Sister Gertrude.

00:10:31I have studied the medical report with great care.

00:10:34You are in the best of health.

00:10:36There is absolutely no reason for you to be hospitalized.

00:10:39I beg you, Mother, to believe me.

00:10:41I've been feeling strange. I do things for no reason.

00:10:43It makes the patient suffer.

00:10:44Thanks to the goodness of our Lord, the operation you underwent has been a complete success.

00:10:49But I am so undamaged in my faith in our Lord this week.

00:10:51But we all have little momentary temptations, my child.

00:10:54It is the Lord's way of testing our moral fiber.

00:10:57Seek help from the Confession.

00:10:58But it is not enough, Mother.

00:11:00I suffer terribly, Mother. I...

00:11:02Sister Gertrude.

00:11:06It is a nun's vocation to suffer.

00:11:08No. Why won't you understand?

00:11:10Why do you deny me your compassion when I need it?

00:11:14Bitch.

00:11:25The saint refused to renounce her faith in God.

00:11:28And so they took hold of her and bound her to a table to continue the torture.

00:11:32Oh, Lord, protect all our missionaries.

00:11:35They forced open her mouth and extracted her teeth one by one.

00:11:38And poured boiling oil onto the bleeding...

00:11:43The saint refused to renounce her faith in God.

00:11:45And so they took hold of her and bound her to a table to continue the torture.

00:11:49Oh, Lord, protect all our missionaries.

00:11:51And poured boiling oil onto the bleeding...

00:12:18And poured boiling oil onto the bleeding gums.

00:12:20Infuriated by the saint's impassive acceptance of her faith...

00:12:23One of the torturers seized a red-hot poker and seared it across her tongue.

00:12:27Still...

00:12:42They pierced her cheeks with ten jagged needles and...

00:12:47Then with red-hot pins they pierced her holy lips...

00:12:49But still the blessed saint's soul did not leave her body.

00:12:51And so her torturers redoubled their efforts, cutting off one of her breasts.

00:12:56Josephine, if I've warned you once, I've warned you a hundred times.

00:13:01I will not have you taking your teeth out of the table.

00:13:04It's a disgusting habit.

00:13:08Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting!

00:13:14Disgusting!

00:13:19Disgusting!

00:13:36What have I done, Josephine? What have I done, Josephine?

00:13:41Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me.

00:13:44Is there anything I can do? Let me help you.

00:13:47Go away! Go away!

00:13:49Go get Sister Mature!

00:13:51Sister Mature!

00:13:54Sister Mature!

00:13:59Please, Josephine, I'll buy you a new one. Please don't cry. Please don't cry.

00:14:03Why don't I take Josephine to her room?

00:14:04Go away! Leave me alone!

00:14:09Calm down!

00:14:10I don't need your help! Leave us alone!

00:14:13Josephine!

00:14:17What's she doing?

00:14:33Wake up! Please wake up! I need your help, Mature!

00:14:37Mature!

00:14:38What is it?

00:14:41I can't sleep.

00:14:42I can't sleep.

00:14:47I'm so alone.

00:14:52Everybody hates me. The patients, the staff, everybody.

00:14:56They don't like to see me dead.

00:15:00Maybe even you.

00:15:02How can you say that? You're imagining things.

00:15:05I'm not. Oh, no.

00:15:08They've all decided I'm not really sick.

00:15:11Dr. Pare calls it hysteria.

00:15:14And the mother superior, she says it's good for me to suffer.

00:15:19I burned your x-rays.

00:15:21Now they won't be able to say you're not sick.

00:15:24I'm not sick.

00:15:26I'm not sick.

00:15:28I'm not sick.

00:15:29Now they won't be able to say you're not sick.

00:15:32They won't have any proof. They'll have to take you seriously.

00:15:35Have you gone mad, Mature?

00:15:38No.

00:15:40I love you.

00:15:44I've always loved you.

00:15:56Hello. Sister Mathieu.

00:15:57Yes, fine. Just a second, please.

00:16:01Josephine's in coma. It's her heart.

00:16:04Dr. Pare wants to see you in her room immediately.

00:16:07Yes, doctor. She's coming now.

00:16:28What on earth happened?

00:16:30This evening in the dining hall, Sister Gertrude.

00:16:33Josephine behaved very badly.

00:16:36I was obliged to reproof her.

00:16:38Even though you know she has a weak heart?

00:16:43Will you please prepare five cc's of heart stimulant?

00:16:46Come on, Sister Gertrude. I'm talking to you.

00:16:49One.

00:16:51Two.

00:16:53Three.

00:16:55Four.

00:17:01Seven.

00:17:03Eight.

00:17:05Nine.

00:17:07Ten.

00:17:09Eleven.

00:17:11Twelve.

00:17:13Thirteen.

00:17:15Fourteen.

00:17:16Eleven.

00:17:18Twelve.

00:17:25Her soul is among the angels, doctor.

00:17:28If you'd shown a little more respect for her age,

00:17:30she'd probably still be alive.

00:17:47Celine, go inform the chaplain.

00:18:01What are you doing?

00:18:04Go to bed. It's late.

00:18:09Did she have any family?

00:18:11Her son visited the one boy left for Africa.

00:18:14No one else.

00:18:17No one else.

00:18:24Close your eyes. God will still listen.

00:18:29Sister Gertrude.

00:18:31Don't pay any attention to Dr. Poirot.

00:18:34It wasn't your fault. She was just old, that's all.

00:18:37I know.

00:18:39Pray now.

00:18:47I'm sorry.

00:18:59Oh, my God.

00:19:01My God.

00:19:04I didn't mean to do it.

00:19:13Why won't Dr. Poirot help?

00:19:17He must see I'm not myself.

00:19:19Gertrude, we're waiting for you in chapel.

00:19:21No.

00:19:24I'm not going to pray for Josephine. I'm not well.

00:19:34There's no more left.

00:19:36And Dr. Poirot says he won't prescribe anymore.

00:19:40It's become a crutch, he says.

00:19:42Then I must go out and buy some.

00:19:44You have no money.

00:19:46You won't be able to.

00:19:52Yes, I will.

00:20:05This was for you. I would have given it to you.

00:20:08I had it all worked out.

00:20:10I could hardly wait to see your surprise.

00:20:12Now I'm afraid that it will never be yours.

00:20:17It was my mother's.

00:20:19But she insisted I have it when I took the veil.

00:20:24Such an unusual present for a nun.

00:21:16You're brave.

00:21:18I'm listening to your voice.

00:21:24Is it the dream that never came true?

00:21:34There's nothing we can do.

00:21:43There's nothing we can do.

00:21:46There's nothing we can do.

00:21:49There's nothing we can do.

00:21:52There's nothing we can do.

00:21:55There's nothing we can do.

00:21:58There's nothing we can do.

00:22:01There's nothing we can do.

00:22:04There's nothing we can do.

00:22:07There's nothing we can do.

00:22:10There's nothing we can do.

00:22:13There's nothing we can do.

00:22:16There's nothing we can do.

00:22:46There's nothing we can do.

00:22:53Madame?

00:22:57It's so nice to be cheated like a lady.

00:23:00I think I'll start with a man.

00:23:03I beg your pardon?

00:23:05A cognac.

00:23:16No.

00:23:18Too Latin, looking for my taste.

00:23:25Ah.

00:23:27A beard.

00:23:29I like beards.

00:23:31But the woman must be his wife, to be honest.

00:23:35Ah.

00:23:37He's rather attractive.

00:23:40He's rather attractive.

00:23:43He's rather attractive.

00:23:46Why don't you look this way?

00:23:49No?

00:23:51Oh, well.

00:23:53Your cognac, madame.

00:23:55How much is it?

00:23:5730 francs.

00:24:07Thank you, madame.

00:24:11Now, come on.

00:24:13Look this way.

00:24:14The girl is just dying to make love to you.

00:24:45That's the only way to make you mine.

00:24:51That's the only way to make you mine.

00:24:56That's the only way to make you mine.

00:25:01That's the only way to make you mine.

00:25:06That's the only way to make you mine.

00:25:11Your voice

00:25:14To hear you breathe

00:25:18I'm listening to your voice

00:25:24It's a pure dream

00:25:27That never comes true

00:25:34There's no way to stay

00:25:38There's no way to leave

00:25:43There's no way to make it true

00:25:52Each day is through

00:25:57No one will find me

00:26:01In the world I know

00:26:03That's the only way to make you mine

00:26:33That's the only way

00:26:36To make you mine

00:26:39That's the only way to make you mine

00:26:44That's the only way to make you mine

00:26:49That's the only way to make you mine

00:26:54That's the only way to make you mine

00:27:00That's the only way to stay with you

00:27:10That's the only way to make it true

00:27:19Each day is growing more and more

00:27:24My feeling and my love

00:27:30That's the only way to make you mine

00:27:54That's the only way to make you mine

00:28:24That's the only way to make you mine

00:32:12Ah!

00:32:14Ah!

00:32:16Ah!

00:32:18Ah!

00:32:20Ah!

00:32:22Ah!

00:32:24Oh, what made me do such a terrible thing?

00:32:38I don't want him dismissed. I just wanted to punish him.

00:32:43Why must he be so stubborn? Why won't he believe I'm sick?

00:32:54Why must he be so stubborn?

00:33:24Oh, please, God, give your poor servant your absolution.

00:33:54Oh, please, God, give your poor servant your absolution.

00:34:24Oh, please, God, give your poor servant your absolution.

00:34:54Oh, my daughters, they have gone away with evil. The Lord is with them.

00:35:25Come on, sister. Come on. Let's get you under the bed.

00:35:38Please, sister.

00:35:40Please, sister.

00:36:10Please, sister.

00:36:40You know, he's just killed himself. He threw himself out the window.

00:37:11What are you staring at? What are you staring at?

00:37:17The sight of that will do you no good. Now go away.

00:37:26You should all kneel down and pray. Stop staring and pray for his soul.

00:37:41Poor Jean-Claude.

00:37:49They think it was suicide.

00:37:54Don't worry. They'll never know the truth.

00:37:57What are you talking about? It was suicide.

00:38:00This was in the laundry bag.

00:38:04It's just as well that no one else found it.

00:38:08What is it?

00:38:10It's a veil, and it has your initials on it. I'll burn it.

00:38:15I don't follow you.

00:38:19One of my veils.

00:38:22And whose is that blood?

00:38:30Oh, no. Oh, my God.

00:38:34Nobody's going to find out.

00:38:37Oh, my God. What have I done?

00:38:39Calm down. Please, Gertrude. Everything will be all right.

00:38:43Gertrude. Gertrude.

00:38:45Oh, leave me alone. Leave me alone.

00:38:47Oh, Gertrude.

00:38:55Get in.

00:39:07Get in.

00:39:38Sister Gertrude. Sister.

00:39:44Yes, Dr. Poirier.

00:39:51I've been asked to appear before the board of directors.

00:39:55Is that so?

00:39:57I wanted to put your mind at rest.

00:40:00I shall not be discussing your problems.

00:40:04In spite of it all, you are the best collaborator I've ever had the privilege of working with.

00:40:10Thank you, Doctor.

00:40:51Hey!

00:41:03What we need is a good reason.

00:41:05All the facts that you can do as you want have ruined the country.

00:41:09It's reactionaries like you who undermine the social system.

00:41:12How nice to see you.

00:41:17Never complain, Janet.

00:41:19A lady is never hungry if there's nothing left to eat.

00:41:22Oh, what exquisite flowers.

00:41:25Admire the flowers, Janet.

00:41:27Appreciation of beauty is insurmountable.

00:41:31Good evening.

00:41:46Here comes the new doctor.

00:41:48Have you met him already?

00:41:50Yes, he's Dr. Poirier's replacement, you know.

00:41:54Hi, how are you? I'm Dr. Patrick Rowlands.

00:41:57It's a real pleasure. How do you do?

00:42:00That's the new doctor. Do you find him attractive?

00:42:03He's an excellent doctor.

00:42:05You're avoiding the question, sister.

00:42:07I was ignoring it.

00:42:09A cup of tea, good English tea with milk.

00:42:11My stomach's rumbling.

00:42:13Please, Janet, a lady never discusses her bodily functions.

00:42:16Good day, madam.

00:42:18Don't stand on ceremony, dear, just address Miss Baroness.

00:42:21You won't have much work to do here.

00:42:23Just the ladies and the old folks.

00:42:26Some of us are very sick.

00:42:28I'd never discuss politics.

00:42:30Oh, doctor. Doctor, I have 11 children.

00:42:33I'm afraid there's no remedy for that.

00:42:35What about the runs, doc? Do you have something for that?

00:42:38Wait a minute. Diarrhea drains the body of vitamin E and weakens one's sex drive.

00:42:42Hector's right, you know. It's a soup they give us.

00:42:44Strike, that's what I say. A hunger strike.

00:42:46Never eat the stuff myself.

00:42:48Enough of that.

00:42:51Dr. Rowlands will see you all separately in the surgery tomorrow.

00:42:54You can tell him all about your imaginary complaints then.

00:42:57In the meantime, exercise, sun, and fresh air will work miracles.

00:43:01You should breathe deeply to cleanse your lungs.

00:43:05Sister Mathieu.

00:43:07Sister Mathieu.

00:43:11Boredom is an ally of the devil.

00:43:13Organize a group to play a game.

00:43:16Come along, we're going to play a game. Gather round, everybody.

00:43:19I'm sorry they attacked you like that.

00:43:21Unfortunately, they are like spoiled children.

00:43:23Only happy when they have your attention.

00:43:28I didn't notice them being like children.

00:43:31No doubt Dr. Paré has told you that I've been here over ten years.

00:43:35Yes, Dr. Paré told me about you.

00:43:37In fact, he had a lot to say.

00:43:40Sister Gertrude.

00:43:42Excuse me, sister. I'll see you later.

00:43:46Sister Gertrude.

00:43:49Yes, I'll come at once.

00:43:51Sister Gertrude, we've decided to play the truth game.

00:43:54And we want you to answer the first questions. Is that all right?

00:43:57Yes, but don't be too hard on me.

00:43:59I was thinking of telling the cook to serve ice cream for dinner.

00:44:19No, no, sister Gertrude. You mustn't look until we call you.

00:44:22All right.

00:44:27Peter, ask her...

00:44:30Ask her about the prayers.

00:44:32Come on, time's up, Alphonse.

00:44:34Sister, if you come over here, we can start now.

00:44:36Peter will ask the questions.

00:44:38Coming.

00:44:41All right, sit down on the grass now.

00:44:43All of you.

00:44:46Now, sister Gertrude must answer the question.

00:44:48And guess who told Peter to ask it.

00:44:50The one I told you.

00:44:52All right, Peter, I'm ready.

00:44:54Ah, she's ready.

00:44:56What's the first question?

00:44:58The first question is...

00:45:00We want to know why you have us saying so many prayers for God's sake.

00:45:03That's Alphonse.

00:45:05That's not fair. He mimicked my voice.

00:45:07I would have known anyway.

00:45:09As a penance, you will have to say two Our Fathers and six Hail Marys...

00:45:12Ah, no, no. No prayers. No, no.

00:45:14I'm an anarchist, a radical socialist, an atheist...

00:45:17and a confirmed priest-hater.

00:45:19And saying prayers is against my religion. I won't do it.

00:45:22But Alphonse, you lost. You have to pay a penance.

00:45:24Let's go on. Next question, Peter.

00:45:29The next question is, uh...

00:45:31No, maybe I shouldn't ask that one.

00:45:33Hurry up, Peter. Come on, it's only a game.

00:45:37Okay, if Sister Gertrude gives me her word, she won't get mad.

00:45:40It's all right, Peter. You hurt Sister Mathieu.

00:45:43It's a game. That's all right.

00:45:46Why did you kill Jeannot, Sister?

00:45:57Peter...

00:46:00Is that your question?

00:46:03What made you ask that question?

00:46:06You must tell me, Peter. Please.

00:46:09I can't believe it. It's true.

00:46:12How could you ask such a thing?

00:46:14Which one of you put him up to it?

00:46:16I don't know.

00:46:20But you have to guess, Sister.

00:46:23Well, I guess that takes care of the ice cream.

00:46:26I was sure looking forward to it.

00:46:28Alphonse, Franklin, help Peter out here.

00:46:39Peter.

00:46:49Peter.

00:46:55I wonder whose question it was. It couldn't be true.

00:46:58I mean, you know, it would have been so bad, wouldn't it?

00:47:00A lady never got such damage if she wanted to know

00:47:02something she eavesdropped on herself.

00:47:04Oh, I'm sure you're right.

00:47:06You asked me.

00:47:37It works!

00:47:51Sister Gertrude, you're getting soaked.

00:47:54I'm fine. Go join the others.

00:47:57Give everyone warm milk in the dining hall.

00:48:01I have to make my confession.

00:48:07Come on.

00:48:18Come on, child. Here it is.

00:48:20Down on your knees and take it.

00:48:36Now, ride it like a jockey on the whole straight.

00:49:06Oh, dear.

00:49:37Oh, please forgive me, Father.

00:49:39I see him in every one of them.

00:49:41I can't control myself.

00:50:06Oh, dear.

00:50:25Now what does it mean, dead?

00:50:29Why has everyone turned against me?

00:50:33What have I done? What have I done?

00:50:37Why do they torment me?

00:50:39Why are they testing my faith in God?

00:50:42Gertrude, I'm here. Gertrude.

00:50:50Oh, Matilda, silly little fool you are.

00:50:52Not so long.

00:50:53You've been rolling your eyes at me ever since you were transferred here.

00:50:57Flaunting your big floppy dress at me at every opportunity,

00:51:00hoping I'd jump into bed with you.

00:51:02Gertrude, how can you be so cruel?

00:51:04Foolish little bitch.

00:51:06You're the worst kind of prostitute.

00:51:09I've seen how you behave with the new doctor.

00:51:11Perhaps you aren't as much of a lesbian as you pretend.

00:51:14I have a surprise for you.

00:51:15What is it?

00:51:16Why don't you find out for yourself?

00:51:18I slipped it under your pillow.

00:51:20Don't be afraid. It's a nice surprise.

00:51:25Stockings. Why?

00:51:27Put them on.

00:51:29No.

00:51:30Put them on.

00:51:32Don't make me.

00:51:33Please.

00:51:34Put them on or I'll beat you.

00:51:41You said you loved me, Mathieu,

00:51:43but during that awful game this afternoon you did nothing to defend me.

00:51:48You're a little whore, Mathieu.

00:51:51I've always preferred men myself.

00:51:53Being a nun hasn't changed that.

00:51:56But I'm always ready to make love.

00:51:58It's such a natural desire.

00:52:00But if I have to do it with a woman,

00:52:02she has to be wearing silk stockings.

00:52:05Let me hear, Mathieu.

00:52:08Say it now.

00:52:09I'm the worst kind of prostitute.

00:52:13I'm the worst kind of prostitute.

00:52:16And now come over here.

00:52:31Yes?

00:52:32Good morning, Doctor.

00:52:35I'm replacing Sister Gertrude.

00:52:37Oh? Where is she this morning?

00:52:41Several months ago she was operated on for a brain tumor.

00:52:44And ever since then she gets these terrible headaches.

00:52:47You seem quite worried.

00:52:49I'm not worried.

00:52:51I'm just worried about her.

00:52:53I'm worried about her.

00:52:55I'm worried about her.

00:52:57I'm worried about her.

00:52:59You seem quite worried.

00:53:01Doctor Poiret told me all about Sister Gertrude.

00:53:03And I'll give her a thorough check-up myself.

00:53:06I'm sure it's nothing serious.

00:53:10I'm sorry. Please don't think that I...

00:53:17I've been going over the dispensary supplies.

00:53:19There doesn't seem to be any non-alcohol-based disinfectant.

00:53:21Doctor, come here.

00:53:23Hurry, please.

00:53:30Come with me.

00:53:39One of the patients?

00:53:41Yes. His name was Jonathan.

00:53:45Sister Mathieu, go back inside and find the administrator.

00:53:50And have him inform the police.

00:53:52Yes, Doctor.

00:53:55What's happened, Sister Mathieu?

00:53:57We were looking out of the window and...

00:53:59It's Jonathan. He's dead.

00:54:01Terrible.

00:54:10You mustn't believe me. It wasn't...

00:54:14In you get, Florence. In the car.

00:54:16I can't believe it.

00:54:18I can't believe it.

00:54:20I can't believe it.

00:54:22In you get, Florence. In the car.

00:54:24I didn't do it.

00:54:26It's all right, Florence. No one's going to hurt you.

00:54:29They just want to ask a few questions.

00:54:31It wasn't me.

00:54:33Florence, get in now.

00:54:52One, two.

00:54:54One, two.

00:54:56One, two.

00:54:58One, two.

00:55:00One, two.

00:55:02One, two.

00:55:04One, two.

00:55:06One, two.

00:55:08One, two.

00:55:10One, two.

00:55:12One, two.

00:55:14One, two.

00:55:16One, two.

00:55:18One, two.

00:55:20One, two.

00:55:22One, two.

00:55:24One, two.

00:55:26One, two.

00:55:28One, two.

00:55:30One, two.

00:55:32One, two.

00:55:34One, two.

00:55:36One, two.

00:55:38One.

00:55:45One, two.

00:55:47One, two.

00:55:49One, two.

00:55:51One, two.

00:55:53One, two.

00:55:55That's enough. Have you gone crazy?

00:55:57Doctor, will you please stop interfering?

00:55:59They're all exhausted.

00:56:01You have no business interfering in my work.

00:56:03Inside, Olive. Inside.

00:56:05Come on.

00:56:07The phys-ed session's over for today.

00:56:09What are you waiting for?

00:56:15What are you trying to do, sister? Kill them?

00:56:19No.

00:56:41Are you going to stop making all that noise, Marie?

00:57:11If none of you are hungry,

00:57:13I'm certainly not going to oblige you to eat.

00:57:15You can all go to your rooms.

00:57:17You heard me.

00:57:19Go to your rooms.

00:57:33Do we have to go, too?

00:57:35Of course, Sister Gertrude says we're not hungry.

00:57:37But I am hungry.

00:57:39Just a little.

00:57:47Just a little.

00:58:07Sister Gertrude, I...

00:58:17Pay attention, all of you.

00:58:19Before you go to sleep,

00:58:21we will pray for the soul of poor Jonathan.

00:58:23Now close your eyes.

00:58:25Let us pray.

00:58:47Amen.

00:59:17Oh, turn out the light.

00:59:19You're a murderer.

00:59:21Oh, no. I'm not a murderer.

00:59:23Sister Gertrude, you're a murderer.

00:59:25I'm not a murderer.

00:59:27You're crazy.

00:59:29Completely crazy.

00:59:35I'm not a murderer.

00:59:37I'm not a murderer.

00:59:39I'm not a murderer.

00:59:41I'm not a murderer.

00:59:43I'm not a murderer.

00:59:45Shh.

00:59:47No.

00:59:49No.

00:59:51No.

00:59:53I'm not a murderer.

00:59:55I'm not a murderer.

00:59:57I'm not a...

00:59:59I'm not crazy.

01:00:07In all of the years

01:00:09that I have directed this institute,

01:00:11nobody has ever raised a finger

01:00:13against the sisters and nurses

01:00:15who dedicate their lives to your well-being.

01:00:17If any of you have any suspicions

01:00:19as to who it was

01:00:21who attacked Sister Gertrude last night,

01:00:23you must come forward.

01:00:25Janet, why don't you speak up, dear?

01:00:27Last night you told me you saw it all.

01:00:29I was joking. I never saw nothing.

01:00:33We can go now, Sister.

01:00:37Yes, I went to the bathroom.

01:00:39But I didn't see anything.

01:00:41You're lying. You're lying.

01:00:43You told me you did, or did you do it yourself?

01:00:45No, I...

01:00:47Baroness,

01:00:49it could have been Sister Mathieu.

01:00:51Sister Mathieu?

01:00:53Why couldn't it be Peter?

01:00:55I could have clubbed her with this crutch.

01:00:57But I think that's unlikely, my dear.

01:00:59Oh, I don't know what to do.

01:01:01Not that I saw anything. Mind you, nothing at all.

01:01:03God forbid.

01:01:05You can't trust anybody.

01:01:11Janet.

01:01:27Janet.

01:01:33Janet.

01:01:37Where are you going?

01:01:41Janet.

01:01:58Yes, come in.

01:02:00Ah, Dr. Rawlins.

01:02:02I'll come back later if you're busy.

01:02:04No, no, no.

01:02:06I'm afraid there's been no response to my appeal.

01:02:08Your appeal?

01:02:10It was somebody who saw Sister Gertrude's assailant.

01:02:12It was somebody in the Institute.

01:02:16And we have no guarantee that he won't strike again.

01:02:18Well, the way she acts, I'd put money on it.

01:02:21Dr. Rawlins.

01:02:27Before I agreed to accept this post,

01:02:29I was informed that Dr. Poiret was fired for inefficiency.

01:02:32And instead, what do I find after inspecting his hospital charts?

01:02:35That not one diagnosis was wrong or even confused.

01:02:38He wasn't inefficient. So why was he fired?

01:02:40Well, Sister Gertrude...

01:02:43You were going to tell tales.

01:02:51First, an unexplained suicide.

01:02:53And now this murder.

01:02:55What? The police have made no arrest.

01:02:57It was an accident.

01:02:59No. The autopsy will confirm it.

01:03:01He died of suffocation.

01:03:04After examining the body,

01:03:06I'd say a large amount of cotton was...

01:03:08Please, Doctor.

01:03:13No. Be quiet.

01:03:15Please, Doctor. Your insinuations cannot apply to Sister Gertrude.

01:03:20Did her name come up when you talked to the police?

01:03:22No. Years ago, she discovered certain discrepancies in the drug register.

01:03:26My son was responsible. He was addicted to...

01:03:29It was morphine.

01:03:31Of course, I should have reported it.

01:03:37Oh!

01:03:53In any case, I think it best if we discuss this matter in the good sister's presence.

01:03:59Louisa, where is Sister Gertrude?

01:04:01No, I'll call her myself.

01:04:07PHONE VIBRATES

01:04:17It's Sister Gertrude.

01:04:18Speaking, yes.

01:04:20Yes.

01:04:22With Dr. Rollins?

01:04:25Yes, I'm free. I'll come at once.

01:04:36PHONE VIBRATES

01:04:47SCREAMS

01:04:50SCREAMS

01:04:53SCREAMS

01:04:57Alan!

01:05:00SCREAMS

01:05:07Oh, God, how awful.

01:05:09It wasn't me.

01:05:11You know I'm not a murderer, don't you?

01:05:16Why should anybody want to kill Janet?

01:05:20I liked her. Oh, God, Jose.

01:05:29Calm down, Gertrude.

01:05:31You must calm down. Everything will be all right.

01:05:36Hold her still. The sedatives will calm her down.

01:06:07MOANING

01:06:17It became a habit after the operation.

01:06:20We can talk about it afterwards when it's all finished.

01:06:30This institute has extremely influential patrons, you understand?

01:06:33I think I get the picture.

01:06:35Patrons and supervisors and nursing staff cannot be exposed to a scandal.

01:06:39The matter must be handled with great care and kept out of the press.

01:06:43Naturally, I and the members of my staff will collaborate with the police in every way.

01:06:47Now they'll find out who did it. You wait and see.

01:06:49Don't kid yourself.

01:06:50But the police are here.

01:06:51I know.

01:06:52Law and order is maintained in the country thanks to the efficiency of the police force.

01:06:56They won't let anybody else be killed.

01:06:58That's wishful thinking. It's only just started.

01:07:00What do you mean, it's only just started?

01:07:02Don't you have any faith in the police, huh?

01:07:04No.

01:07:05You're wrong to be so pessimistic.

01:07:07The police solve crimes. It's their job.

01:07:10The police look out for their own interest.

01:07:15It's all politics.

01:07:16You've been listening to Alphonse.

01:07:18But you won't undermine my faith in the institutions of the state.

01:07:23Me, a good Republican and a den of anarchists.

01:07:26If you want a sketch, here's your pad.

01:07:28Look on the bright side of things.

01:07:30Things are going to get worse before they get better.

01:07:32France people like you.

01:07:34We'll never agree, Peter.

01:07:36There's no use arguing.

01:07:46How is the investigation going, miss?

01:07:48All I know is that you're not in your bed.

01:07:50How very absurd.

01:07:52Bitch.

01:08:22Fuck.

01:08:52Fuck.

01:09:23Now, I want the truth, Peter.

01:09:26Who told you to ask that question?

01:09:28Who thinks I killed Jeannot?

01:09:34Peter, I beg you to tell me.

01:09:37Who can hate me so much?

01:09:40No, I'm not going to tell you.

01:09:43Even if I'm the next to die, who cares?

01:09:47My life is worthless.

01:09:49No one will miss me.

01:09:52Maybe you'll change your mind by the time I come back.

01:09:54No, please, don't take them. No!

01:09:56Whoever you are protecting does not deserve your loyalty.

01:10:02Even if you don't come back all night,

01:10:04nothing I can tell you will wipe your guilt away.

01:10:11Think it over, Peter.

01:10:13You won't get your crutches back until I know the truth.

01:10:22I love you.

01:10:52I love you.

01:11:22Fuck.

01:11:52Fuck.

01:12:00Come here.

01:12:01Come.

01:12:10Allora?

01:12:11Non l'ho trovata, madre.

01:12:12Così non combineremo nulla.

01:12:14Lei continua a cercarla nei corridoi,

01:12:16mentre io scendo giù in cortina.

01:12:17Sì, madre.

01:12:22Sì.

01:12:52Ah!

01:12:56Ah!

01:13:23Ah!

01:13:41Good evening, Sister Mathieu.

01:13:44Isn't it rather late for you to still be up?

01:13:46I was looking for Sister Gertrude.

01:13:48You mustn't worry about Sister Gertrude.

01:13:50She's feeling better now.

01:14:16Doctor.

01:14:18Doctor Rowlands.

01:14:22Doctor.

01:14:34Mathieu.

01:14:37No.

01:14:39Oh, no.

01:14:40Are you sure?

01:14:41Sister Gertrude's disappeared, Doctor.

01:14:43And it's my fault.

01:14:44I was sure the sedative would make her sleep all night.

01:14:48I've looked everywhere.

01:14:49There's no trace of her.

01:14:52She's asleep now.

01:14:54You've done all you can, Sister.

01:14:55I'll look for her myself.

01:15:22Oh, dear.

01:15:45Somebody's taken it all.

01:15:53Oh, no.

01:15:56I'm going crazy.

01:16:14Oh, yes.

01:16:22Oh, yes.

01:16:53Oh.

01:17:03No.

01:17:05No.

01:17:07No!

01:17:15What the...

01:17:20Ah!

01:17:23Ah!

01:17:35Yes, Mother Superior.

01:17:36He's dead.

01:17:38Doctor Rowlands found him in the boiler room and called the police.

01:17:42Once they find out about the incident at the party,

01:17:44it will be very difficult to avoid a scandal.

01:17:48Life has always been difficult.

01:17:50I'm sorry.

01:17:51I'm sorry. What did you say?

01:17:52Nothing.

01:17:54I agree, Sister Mathieu.

01:17:56A car will pick up Sister Gertrude in half an hour.

01:17:59I'll make sure she's ready, Mother.

01:18:01When are the police expected?

01:18:03At any time, Mother.

01:18:05The car will wait at the side entrance.

01:18:21Why, Mathieu?

01:18:52What have you done, Sister Gertrude?

01:18:54Do you know what a stir you've caused?

01:18:56Everyone wants to talk to you.

01:18:57The police, Doctor Rowlands, even a reporter.

01:19:00They think that you're...

01:19:02That you killed a patient.

01:19:04That by your mistakes, we shall all be judged.

01:19:07When there are thousands who dedicate themselves unselfishly.

01:19:10They think that you're...

01:19:12That you killed a patient.

01:19:14That by your mistakes, we shall all be judged.

01:19:17When there are thousands who dedicate themselves unselfishly.

01:19:19To helping others.

01:19:23You have brought disgrace to our order.

01:19:26Oh, God, no.

01:19:29Show them the truth.

01:19:31Sister Gertrude.

01:19:32Oh, God, I beg you to help me.

01:19:34Sister Gertrude.

01:19:35Mother.

01:19:37I swear on this cross I'm innocent.

01:19:40I am not a murderer.

01:19:42And nobody was murdered.

01:19:44There has been a series of unfortunate accidents.

01:19:47There is such confusion in my head.

01:19:50Such confusion.

01:19:54But I am not a murderer, Mother.

01:19:57I didn't hurt anybody.

01:19:59I couldn't, Mother.

01:20:01Please take Sister Gertrude to her cell.

01:20:04Give her a sedative, Sister Louise.

01:20:07I am afraid she is very sick.

01:20:10She has a fever.

01:20:12She has a fever.

01:20:13I am afraid she is very sick.

01:20:16And requires special treatment.

01:20:20I...

01:20:25May God have mercy on you, Sister Gertrude.

01:20:30Sister Louise.

01:20:32I am sure you have understood what I mean by special treatment.

01:20:36I hold you personally responsible.

01:20:38Now go.

01:20:44You mean you knew about it all these months?

01:20:47Doctor, she couldn't survive without taking morphine.

01:20:49How can you say that?

01:20:50After the operation, she...

01:20:51Yes, yes, you told me that, but where did she get it?

01:20:53Doctor, pray.

01:20:54And when he stopped prescribing it?

01:20:56I stole it for her.

01:20:57Why? Instead of trying to help her,

01:20:58you did everything you could to make matters worse.

01:21:01There will be an investigation, a trial.

01:21:03I'll have to tell the police all about you.

01:21:05No, please.

01:21:06No.

01:21:07No.

01:21:08No.

01:21:09No.

01:21:10No.

01:21:11No.

01:21:12No.

01:21:16Sister, my dear.

01:21:17What are you trying to do?

01:21:18It was...

01:21:20Calm down.

01:21:21Stop it.

01:21:23She's all I have, Doctor.

01:21:24All I have.

01:21:25I had to do it.

01:21:27Don't report me, please.

01:21:29She's told it herself.

01:21:30I didn't know anything about it.

01:21:31I'll do anything you want.

01:21:33Anything.

01:21:34We could be working together for years.

01:21:37Say you won't report me.

01:21:38I'll do anything you want.

01:21:40Anything.

01:21:43Anything.

01:21:52You must help me or I'll kill myself, Doctor.

01:22:13You will help me, won't you, Doctor?

01:22:16I promise I'll make you very happy.

01:22:43Sister Gertrude.

01:22:48Why don't you try to sleep, Sister?

01:22:51A good rest will help you feel better.

01:23:12Good night.

01:23:42Good night.

01:24:08It's time for your medicine, Sister Gertrude.

01:24:12Come on, drink it all down.

01:24:19Come on, drink it, Sister.

01:24:30Sister Gertrude, it is the Holy Mother herself who has ordered that you take this medicine.

01:24:36I'll leave it here for you.

01:25:29I thirst for revenge.

01:25:30It's a compulsion.

01:25:31I must kill.

01:25:32I must.

01:25:34Grandfather won't listen.

01:25:37He won't stop touching me.

01:25:42He puts his hand up my skirt and caresses my body all over.

01:25:49And Mommy won't believe me when I tell her.

01:25:52She calls me a liar.

01:25:54A liar.

01:25:55I want to scream, but I'm afraid.

01:25:59But I'm afraid.

01:26:01My grandfather is evil.

01:26:02He deserves to die.

01:26:05I must kill him.

01:26:07He tried to attack Gertrude and I killed him.

01:26:09No.

01:26:39No.
