I'm frightened, darling.

Of what?

Going so fast.

Don't you trust me?

Of course I do.

My sweet honey,

calm down.

Please don't drive so fast.

Please just let me drive.

I like it.

When I go fast, so do my ideas.

I imagine things.

It's like being by the sea.

We'll be happy there.

We'll rent a house.

Nice and calm. Just the two of us.

We'll take walks.

Yes, darling, we'll be happy.

But don't go so fast.

- Want a ride?
- No thanks, I'll stay here.

- What for?
- To see.

You'll have to wait 8 hours.

Atypical work day.

I've got smokes and a warm coat.

Thanks anyway.

THE CREATURES

Off limits

It was winter.
Nothing seemed alive.

It was winter...

Nothing seemed alive.

One wondered...

One wondered...

- Here you go.
- I'll come back for more tonight.

Here he comes!

I'd like some bread, sugar,

2 camemberts, 6 bottles of wine,

and apricot jam, please.

I'd like some bread.
It's cold.

Clumsy fool!

Don't cut yourself.

What do I owe you?

Go get a rag!

21.60 francs.

23.60 francs.

I'll put it on your tab.

Very well.

Goodbye, sir. Thank you.

Goodbye, ladies.

Put it down.

It's his fauIt. He scared me.

Don't be silly.

He's quiet, but he's a good customer.
Polite.

He's strange.

We know nothing about him.

- He walks a lot.
- No harm in that.

Always alone.

I agree with Suzon,
even though I'm old.

Edgar Piccoli

I'd like 400 francs, please.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

Fabrics! The latest styles!

Good prices. Step on up!

That's the guy I told you about.

Sheets and fabrics,
the latest styles!

Fine fabrics, ladies! Best quality!

Step right up and have a look!

Shut up!

We said we'd leave it open.

I'll fix your wagon!

- When you're ready, I'll attack.
- Don't overdo it.

Go on.

He's coming to. Thank goodness.

Let's give him a drink.

What happened?

Never mind. Take your brother home.

It's a man thing.

Let bygones be bygones!

Though he ripped
one of my best sheets on purpose.

That's right.

Worth 50 francs.
And that's a steal.

Must've happened when he bought it.

When you break something,
you have to pay for it.

That's right.

50 francs.

With the cognac... 53 francs.
A bargain.

Go home, old man.

You've made your bed.
Now lie in it!

Use good quality sheets.
They're stronger and last longer.

Stronger and last longer.

That's right.

Smart lady. Not like him.

He paid. It's ok.

He always pays us.

Doesn't mean anything.
Does he say much?

See? I'm sure he's hiding something.

I'm fine.

I'm better now.

Two men tried to pick a fight.

I don't know them.

Probably thought I was someone else.

I'm hungry.

Smells good.
You made me a treat?

Sure, but I've got a headache.

It's your last meal with us.

Every day, fish stew.

Doesn't bother me.

I wish you weren't going.

What good's a fisherman
with no son?

- Don't I count?
- We'll see when you're older.

Simon's leaving now.

He'd rather work in a hotel.

He doesn't have the stamina.

He's not going far.

The Quellec girl said
he'd earn a Iot.

You know I want to work in a hotel.

- Later on, I'll be a waiter.
- I'll be a fisherman.

-And I'll be a princess.
- Idiot!

See girls? It pays to obey.

Sorry. Too much pepper.

Open up!

It's the men from yesterday.
Don't worry.

Finally!
We thought you were angry.

We came to apologize.

We were drunk yesterday.

Picking fights for no reason.

Who knows why?

Let's cut the act.

Actually, we hardly sold anything.
Business is bad.

Real bad.

I paid for a sheet. That's enough!

Just wait!

Look at our nice linen!

We're specialists.
Only the best.

- Good prices and quality.
-A worthy cause too.

Get out of here!

You're nuts!

A big house like this needs sheets.

You've got at least
6 or 8 rooms in there.

We need to have a look inside!

Lots of beds to be made in there!

You can't fool me.

Beat it or fists will fly.

Alright.

We're just staking it out!

We know who we're dealing with.

- Get lost.
- Let's be frank...

Beat it!

We can work something out.

We'll go, but make an effort.

We'll Ieave 2 pairs of sheets.

See? We trust you.

You can pay us next week.

120 francs for 2 pairs. A bargain!

I'm getting good at finding you.

My darling.

You're being unreasonable.
You promised me.

Of course you can.

Why won't you trust me?
The accident?

You never let me mention it.

That's why you're mute.

It's not an infirmity.
It's an accident.

A tiny ailment.

I'm sure you'll recover.

You must rest. And love me.

Thank you.

Is this your cat? I found it dead.

It's not ours.
Maybe it's the hotel's.

I'll go see.

- Look, Simon.
- Sure it's dead?

Yes, it's disgusting.

The missus will be mad.

You were expecting me.

Did you kill the cat?

No, I thought it might be yours.

Michèle will be furious.
Why'd you kill it?

I told you I didn't...

What the hell?

Savages! Imbeciles!
You think I killed the cat?

You serve cat
when you're out of rabbit!

Show some respect.

Maybe you brought it to my place!

That's a lie!

Who are you?

You stalk Suzon!

You want cat? I'll give you cat!

Please! Have mercy!

Lie down like dogs!

I flew off the handle.
I don't know what got into me.

I hate being accused.

That's why I beat your staff.

All because of a dead cat I found.

In any case, it's not mine.

Don't worry, sometimes they need
a good thrashing.

With a woman boss,
they take liberties.

Since my father fell ill,
I have to do everything.

My cat's fine, I assure you.

It's kind of you to come
all this way

with this mystery cat.

I hope you'll come back again.

We've got television now.

If you want to watch the news
or some other programs,

come whenever you like.

Do you plan to bury the cat?

Of course.

I have to go. I'm squeamish.

Goodbye, Mr...

Piccoli. We're neighbors.
Goodbye.

Thank you, Simon.

No, I'm not sulking.

Sometimes I grow weary
of the situation.

You come for an hour or two.

Then go home
and eat with your family.

You're so touchy.
Instead of enjoying our love...

Enjoy? How?

On command? Hastily?

It's because you're young.

I can appreciate our love
like a gift.

What do you give me?

You have your patients all day
and your wife at night.

My best moments are with you.

That's true for me too.

But I'm so lonely!

My life is scattered puzzle pieces.

A constant jigsaw.

I dreamt of a life that was whole.

Do you understand?
A true life. Unbroken.

You always say that.
It's not my fault. Or yours, darling.

My life was set years ago.

I'm encircled, entrapped,
tied down, worn out.

I walk...

but don't move forward.

You're my joy,
and you say you love me.

I do, but I'm not happy.

Patience.

Why? will you leave your wife?

I know my future.

When Father dies, I'll sell.

I'll move to Paris,

far from this stifling island.

I want to live
in a modern city, with you.

That's my dream too.

A new life. Where things happen.

Unexpected, explosive things.

Speaking of explosive,

our neighbor beat up
some of my staff.

- What do you say about that?
- Nothing.

Yesterday Father said,

"You neglect me
because I can't move.

"I have no one to talk to.

"I end up talking to myself.

"Or singing. Or writing."

I end up

talking to myself.

Or singing.

Or writing.

When I die,
you'll all be dead.

I'm the oldest

but also the strongest.

Are you mute too?

We can have a chat if you like.

This land is so flat.

I fear the sea will cover everything.

How grim! You from Paris?

You hoofed it from Paris?
The city the fairest?

Cute poem.
Did you write it?

No, a friend.
I write stories.

Tell me one,
in horse language.

I send them to my publisher.

He pays me and I forget them.

I've started a new one
but it's not done yet.

- Fine. I'll go.
- Don't be mad.

Ok, I'll stay.
What's it about?

A guy who can control people
from a distance.

Using a remote control device.

He dominates people.

But his power only lasts a minute.

Strange.

The guy is kind of an evil spirit.

Nothing human
or even animal about him.

Cat got your tongue?

I'm not speaking "horse"?

Sorry, pal. Once I get going,
it turns into a monologue.

Don't look at me like that.

My wife is mute.

Sometimes
she looks at me the same way.

Like it's my fault.

Fine, bye.

It's a fascinating French novel.

You understand French?

No, it's a translation.

My wife and I

are also reading a French book.

But it's not a novel.

It's a philosophy book.

That's too hard for me.

I like books that are fun.

Me too.

But I'm also interested in...

Never.
I love your visits.

When you go, I get back to it.

I've been working hard.
The batteries work.

But their power only lasts
one minute.

My love

Can you do me a favor?

Give this
to the sheet salesmen.

Some money I owe them.

- This is theirs too.
- Ok.

I'd rather you went alone.

Why?

It'll be a good program.

Spacemen in orbit.

And a musical.

Stay if you like.

I'll be back in a flash.

Watch!

This is a nice place.

As snug as a bug in a rug.
Two bugs in a rug.

In summer we get a lot of families.

- I'll bring mine.
- You have kids?

- No.
- Neither of us is married.

We're married to sheets and linens.

We like what's new and exciting.

Life in the fast lane!

Do you need anything?

We're fine.

The set menu looks perfect.

Check, please!

With white wine.

I had to see you.

Have you been busy?

Not so much.
Market people, mostly.

I feel calmer now.

If you like,
come back later tonight.

Here's our woodsman.

I owe you something.

A beer, please.

You can keep this piece of metal.

What's this object no one wants?

I'd take it
if you gave it to me.

A girl never refuses gifts
from a kind man.

You said it!

All ladies like presents.

A girl undertaken
is a girl taken.

It's the thought that counts.

Get lost,
all you old creeps and bores!

It only takes two for a good time.

It's that object!

Wait!

Look!

Your wife?

- Leave her be.
- Calm down, everyone.

Don't cry.

Come on, we'll work it out.

Get out!

Simon, we're closing.

See if my father needs anything.

What a number!

Something's fishy!

Look at this object.

It seems full of evil.

Where does it come from?

Help me. We have to stop it.

Everything's rotten.
Decadence is everywhere.

Why fight it?

Your move.

You win.

Happy?

You won by a nose.

The fire's smoking.

Stings my eyes.

I'm going to work a bit before bed.

Is that ok?

It's taking shape.

The guy orders the girls around.
They work for him.

No one has a clue.

People are controlled from afar.
They turn nasty.

The hero figured it out.

Now he needs to find the guy.

He has a lead.

Am I boring you with my creatures?

Tomorrow we'll take a walk.

See people.

"To say what?"
We don't have to talk.

"I... can... not...

"make love with everyone."

Shall I invite one of your friends?

Or someone from here?

I met the hotel proprietress.

Fine lady.

And the doctor.

"Have him come".
You don't feeI well?

What? Is it true?

Really?

My sweet love!

Tell me.

Tell me, when?

JuIy, August, November...

A Sagittarius boy!

Or girl.

I'll tell the doctor tomorrow.

How clever of you!

Girls!

I have some missions for you.

If you do them well,

I'll give you real gold crowns.

Oh, crowns!

Suzon!

Come here. Listen.

When you slip it in their pockets,

you and Danny need to be nice.

I'm nice too.

Careful now.

Are the crowns inside?

Get going, girls.

Put that down.

You can go.

Here you go.

I work too hard?

Yes, but I like it.

Mystery, science fiction...
I'm right in the thick of it.

We're going to have a baby!

I've got dozens.

Congratulations, anyway.

- Thanks, old pal.
- Not old. Just one year.

It's a figure of speech.

You speak "rabbit" well.
No accent.

Goodbye.

Ask the Doctor
if the baby will be mute.

Are you mute?

Where've you been all day?

- With Danny.
- Where?

In the woods.

I hate you roaming around like that.

Help me clean mussels.

I don't want to.

We're low on vinegar.

We've got sole today. Want one?

Good idea.

Suzon, go get a sole.

- She's really grown.
- Always complaining.

She hates Mr. Piccoli.
Says he's a nut.

I think he's nice.

He helped me with a rude customer.

So I heard.
About some piece of metal?

Maybe.

Did you note it down?
Vinegar and sole?

Speak of the devil!

Me? I'm an angel.

What do you need?

Light blue knitting yarn.
For my wife.

You pick out the yarn.

And needles too.

Do you know
the man at the tower?

- Mr. Ducasse?
- What does he do?

He's a retired engineer.

He was unloading cases today.

Probably books.

They say he's a scientist.

A widower.
Married to his books.

Thanks for the yarn
and the information.

No problem.

So he's married.

He always comes in alone.

What are you doing?

What do you know
about Mr. Ducasse?

Nothing.

- I saw you go there.
- Don't tell my mom!

- Why do you go?
- With Danny.

What for?

To play. I can't tell.

Why not?

Mom!

- What's up?
- He's grilling me.

About what?

- Danny and me.
- Nonsense! Let's go home.

Such an awkward age.
Let's walk together.

I trust you, after the other night.

I've trusted nothing since then.

I want some explaining.

What's the use?

- I need help.
- For a job?

- I don't know.
- And we need you.

I got your number right away.

Your number...

Yes ma'am, it's a lovely item!
Touch it!

Our job is next Friday.
Butwe need someone.

- If I can help...
- You'll get one fifth.

What is it?

Don't worry.
We'll help you too.

And you'll give us half.
Ok?

Ok. But I need you right away.

We leave with the afternoon tide.

After lunch, then. At my house.

We'll need rope and tools.

You agree to my plan?

You break a window.
He comes down.

We go in the other side.

You stall him, play dumb.
Easy for you.

- What if the door's shut?
- We'll see.

What are we swiping?

- Swiping?
- Aren't we breaking in?

No. We're only breaking a window.

You're witty.

Just settling a score?

- What do you want?
- Information.

How dare you!

- You're up to no good.
- We all do evil.

At least I admit it.
I'm proud of my evil.

I can do what I want with you.

Since you're so curious, watch this.

No! Fight it!

So it's true.

I don't understand,
but I've seen enough.

What a piece of work.

Don't forget you promised to help us
next Friday at 10.

If you're still sane.

Be careful. He scares me.

Not me. It's about will power.

Have a seat, young man.
Let's get down to business.

You're looking for answers
and a fight? Alright.

I propose an odd but honest battle.
You against me.

If you lose, you'll suffer.
I'll destroy your wife.

How do you know?

I know everything.
I enjoy destruction.

Not me. I'll fight you.

Let's play. One die each.

Mine moves my trap,
yours moves your characters.

Look closely at these cards
and these characters.

You know them.
You're about to discover them.

Here they are.

Give them life.

Make them meet, talk,
seek happiness.

I'll attempt to wreck it all.

See this chessboard?

This is where you move your creatures.

Michèle Quellec, from the hotel.
You know her.

Viviane Quellec, her sister,
coming on vacation.

Lucie de Montyon,
young wife of an estate owner.

Mrs. Velini, terrifying and seductive.

The grocer and her daughter Suzon.

You consider her a grown woman?

Of course, she's 14.
A charming temptress.

And the men.

Doctor Etienne Destaux.

Salesman Max Picot
with his partner Pierre Roland.

And Jean Modet,
an Italian electrician.

Here on the island for 3 months.

René de Montyon,
the newlywed squire.

Old Mr. Quellec.

My trap.

I position it right in the middle
of the board.

It moves diagonally.

The creatures move
vertically and horizontally.

The action appears on this screen.

When the luck of the dice
moves my trap over a character,

I use my power to control them.

Fate will not smile
upon these creatures.

No surprise.
Does it smile upon destroyers?

Each time my trap lands
on characters,

I throw the switch
and control them for one minute.

I'll destroy your work.
Separate your couples.

You are also allowed
to control your creatures.

But only 3 times.

If someone or something
needs saving.

Saving?

You get 3 supernatural chances,
plus your innate faith in mankind.

I get every chance for evil
that fate hands me.

The cards determine who you play.

The dice determine squares.

Don't forget I came here to win.

How do we keep score?

It's a mating game.

If you can make
one couple stay together

throughout the entire game,

you win and go free.

If you lose,
your marriage is destroyed.

Let us begin.

We'll observe
this sorry sample of mankind.

The game of the creatures has begun.

One.

To move one square,
push the correct button.

No, the other one.

"To Dr. Etienne Destaux,
generaI deIivery.

"Dear Etienne, I must see you..."

Two.

- One, two, nothing.
- Your turn.

- Three.
- Draw a card.

It's lovely Lucie.

Move her, come on.

Put it in the middle
so I can see it from bed.

Five.

Is there a doctor on the island?

My turn. Nothing. You go.

You're going to see
the TV man's face.

Six, well done.

Who is he?

A happy young man walking aIong.

And that's Viviane.
Michèle Quellec's sister.

A saleswoman.
Loose, game for anything.

- What's this about?
- I'm the electrician.

Come in, do your business.

I thought
everything was working fine.

Yes, everything works fine.

- So why are you here?
- You invited me in.

You said you're the electrician.
I said come in, that's all.

That's what I said.

I'm putting in a TV next door.

They need one here?
There's two of them.

Some people don't know
how to have fun.

- What about you?
- I know how.

You're a very likable electrician.

You're not so bad yourseIf.

- Give me five?
- Five!

All's well.

My turn. Still haven't used my trap.
Boring. Your turn.

Five!

- Two, nothing.
- Luck's not on your side.

I don't need luck.
I've got power.

The doctor. I like him.

Five!

Tilt! Another encounter.

I'm a fool to meet you like this.

We need to talk.

You said it all the other night
with your behavior.

- How humiliating!
- That wasn't me.

Something within you
was aroused or awoken.

I'm not a whore.

Spare me. I'm leaving.

Wait!

Can I use my power to fix this?

You have that right.

I love you truly.

- How can I believe you?
- You want proof?

I'll wait as long as it takes.

I wait for you every day.

I don't grumble about
your wife or kids.

You're so handsome.

I enjoy living
in secret with you.

I'm happy.

You're gorgeous like a pine forest.

You have the serene face
of a conqueror.

You smell good like fresh bread.

- You're crazy.
- Just happy.

Hold me tight,
I've never been so happy.

Really?

Really.
You're my first love.

Cut it out.

My first great love.

Seriously?

You've fallen for this old man's
last amorous gasp?

You're young. And handsome.

We've got our whole lives ahead.

Perfect! Charming! Stupid!

You've never said such things to me.

I never dared.

I have to go. Father's ill.

Will you come tomorrow?

Sure. Goodnight, darling.

Soon, we'll spend a whole day
in Nantes.

Two! Nothing yet.

My turn will come.

One!

I saw him at the hotel, laughing.

Shall we put you by the TV?

No thank you.

By the window
so I can watch people go by.

He owns the hotel.

Michèle and Viviane's father.

Nearer!

Simon!
Bring me a martini.

Right away, sir.

One! Here I go.

I'm going to have some fun.

Pick it up!

What's wrong, boy?
Dizzy spell?

My martini, quick!

Four!

The man who wants
to be my friend.

And his partner in crime. Tilt!

Where's that guy
who's supposed to help us?

- Probably on his way.
- Gimme that.

Damn him!

Standing us up!

I did promise. Can't tell you why.

It's now or never.

Our little nobleman's
gotta shell out today.

There'll be a wad of cash
at the notary's.

You load the car.
I drive, then we meet in the bar.

One! I can move
left or right.

- Afflict the Montyons?
- I've got another arm.

I'll bother your friends.

Michèle and her doctor.

Undress like you did for that guy.

Unbutton your blouse!

Etienne, no!

Do as I say.
Unbutton that slutty blouse.

Etienne, are you mad?

Quick, or I'll slap you,
and leave you!

This is a ridiculous game.
Stop it or I'll go!

Get naked, you hussy!

If you put up a fuss,
I'll beat crocodile tears out of you.

What happened, Etienne?

No? Then I'll ring.

Simon will see his boss is a whore.

Your father will find out
and he'll kill you!

- Don't do it.
- Then undress. Now!

Take off your skirt!

Anybody there?
Is that you, Madam?

I'll get the key.

- Is their love over?
- I think so.

A minute's scorn is poison.
Your turn.

Let's take a break.

Play all your pawns first.
There's 3 left.

Let's finish the first round. Roll!

Three.
She doesn't encounter anyone.

Mom!

I've got a good idea,
if I can trap her.

Four! To trap Suzon.

Four!

This'll be fun!

Three! One... two... three.

Viviane Quellec.

The two sisters.

Simon,
a coke and some olives, please.

- The easy life!
- It's my vacation.

And I'm paying.

Because Father's making you.

He doesn't want you in August.

The only time we're full.

The rest of the year's free.

I know that.

But I like to see people.

It's fun paying at my own place.

It bugs you and Dad.

He just likes a good turnover.

He even put the repairs on hold.

He's afraid
the contractor will cheat.

- I'm very sorry.
- About the repairs?

No... about you paying!

But I'll fix the bill.

You take all this so seriously!

And you're so frivolous.

I've behaved this year.
Just one little flirt.

The electrician, I know.

Careful, he's a trickster.

And a liar.

He's more fun than your doctor.

I don't care if he's useless.

I like him, he likes me.
We have fun together.

Maybe.

It's overwith Etienne.

It all went sour.

See? Nothing lasts.

It lasted 3 years.

3 days, 3 years...
Since nothing lasts,

might as well have fun.

I get bored when nothing goes wrong.

Your turn. Pierre Roland.

He's the only one left.

Five.

He doesn't encounter anyone.

He's following someone.

The cashier.

A half-bottIe.

How's business?

The usual.
The stores, the market...

The notary for a good kickback.

Does my aunt know I'm here?

There she is!

Hello, Auntie!
How are you?

- Fine, and you?
- Alright.

Push me.

Get going! We'll meet there.
Don't start too soon.

It's going smoothly.

Nothing for my trap.

They haven't got the money yet.
They're not through.

My first round's over.

The 12 cards are played.

Time for a break.

Ok, let's go.

We need to shuffle.

To get the playing order.

I didn't play.

Two! Nothing special.

Move the partner.

He's meeting Pierre. No tilt!

Your robbers are a real pair.

We look like real campers.

A little music and we'll be all set.

That's enough!
We're not out of the woods yet.

Here's your music!

We'll need an hour
to crack it.

We got the key,
not the combination.

Lousy safe!

Put on your gloves and help me.

Bye, Auntie.

Where's my key?

He'll call the police.

Can I help them? I promised.

Sure. Use your second
pink power.

It's fun to see you
Help those fools.

I promised.

If only we had the combination.

-There's only one.
- 9 is fine then.

5. Like high 5.

7! Like 7th heaven.

Three little turns...

and...

that's it!

We gotta split it up!

Later! Let's get out of here fast.

We gotta hide the equipment.

Throw it in the water!

You're crazy!
We could use it again.

That's right, I'm crazy!

All this cash makes me insane!

Don't overdo it.
What's money really?

Just paper.
It can go up in smoke.

In 10 seconds!

Now it's my turn.

The trap's on them.
Your minute's up.

Stop it, you fool!

Give me that money.

You'll pay for this! Thief!

Come back or I'll shoot.

I can be patient too!

Max, stop!

See how well I play?
I didn't force his hand.

Is he dead?

He killed him
after one minute in my control.

I'm pleased.

- He's dead.
- Yes.

Should we go on after a death?

Yes. It's your fight.
That's the game.

And your wife is at stake.

Three! The lovers.

Your champions.

The only ones still unharmed.

- How long are you here?
- Till the end of August.

- And then?
- Back to Paris.

Maybe I could work in Paris.

- Here or there.
- You're right.

I could see you.

You could.

Would you like that?

Definitely.

But I never make plans.

I wish I could trap them.

Three. No luck. Your move.

How are you feeling, Quellec?

I'm laid up
but still alive and kicking!

Business is good.

Not bad.

What's new, Henriette?

Here we go!

My trap's on you, Henriette.
Go for it.

- What are you doing?
- Looking at you.

And enjoying it.

Because you're crippled.

How dare you? I'm older than you.

Yes, you are. Old and disgusting.

- Don't bring up the past.
- Why not?

I was only 16.
I didn't dare speak up.

You were aIready old and married.

I was scared and innocent!

Shut up!

I will not!
You took advantage of me.

Now I'm a respectable woman.

And you're a mean, dying old man.
Everyone hates you.

Michèle loves me!

She wants you to die.
Viviane hates you.

They just want your loot.

You'll rot in hell!

He fell.

Your father fell off the chair!

Call a doctor. It's dangerous.

I didn't realize. What a mess!

Go on.

- Another one.
- Be right back.

Three. My move.

Alright, red.

What took you so long?

I was about to leave.
I'm sick of it here.

We can go somewhere else
if you like.

Nothing matters to me.
Except love.

- Don't make me laugh!
- You're like me.

I am? You're wrong.

You just robbed me,
but you love me anyway.

I don't care if you're a thief.

I can aIways find money.

But I prefer love, when I have it.

You're right.

- Shall I burn it?
- Let's share. Good deal for you.

Yeah, right.

I'm winning. They're hanging on.

True. They disgust me.

Lack of imagination. It's my fault.

You win if they hang on till the end.

You don't know the island.
There's lots to see.

I'm bored.

There's a lot to interest you.

Places your husband likes to go.

He'll show me in time.

- Can't be sure.
- Why not?

I saw his car on the way here.

You should go, he'll bring you back.
It's beautiful.

- Is it a garden?
- A little house.

Didn't he tell you about it?
With a little front yard.

Whose is it?
Think he's still there?

Is it really nearby?

At the edge of the village.
Goodbye.

- Want my bike? It's faster.
- Thanks.

This can't go on.
I won't come back.

I'm no longer yours.
Farewell.

What's got into you?

I don't know. I must go.

Where?

Why use your power?
How does it help?

See, he's running.

He'll catch up to Lucie and explain.
She'll understand.

They're so in love.

If he catches her.
You can make him run,

but you can't make him a rabbit.

And you've only got one minute.

I've got a couple hanging on.
The jig's not up.

I could win, but I'm so tired.

How do you feel?

"Raising Your Child."

Sorry I'm not as happy as you.
I'm tired.

Let's go for a walk.

Please make an effort.

As a favor to me?

What are you doing here?

- Meeting someone.
- Who? Mr. Ducasse?

Why ask if you know?

He was supposed
to open the door at 10.

He's never late.

You'd better go home.

Wake up. I took my turn.

I got 6, but didn't trap anyone.

You drew Michèle's card. Play.

Four. Tilt!
She encounters Suzon.

Where's Simon?

Do me a favor.

Take a bottle of water
to my father.

Hurry. And find Simon.

One. The old man.

Again?

- Your trap's out of control.
- About time.

Didn't get much play at first.

Come in.

About time.
I've been waiting an hour.

Simon isn't here.

Where's he loafing now?

Don't know.

Push my bed.
You're the only one who will.

Push, you little brat!

I can't!
How will I get out?

What's your rush?

Sit down and shut up!

Let me out!

- Not this.
- Let me play.

- My minute's not up.
- Enough of this game!

Yes, I'm back, darling.

Call the doctor

I'll fetch him at once.

Lie down. Are you calm?

Feel alright?

May I phone?

Noirmoutier 17, please.
For No. 166.

Yes. please hurry!

Is this the big day?

Is that you, doctor?

Can you come to the fort, quick?

My wife's in labor.

Let me know
if you need anything.

I'll come see her, if she likes.

I love babies, and I'm lonely.

When Father dies, I'll leave.

He's in a bad way.

I won't detain you.

Have you heard the news?

Ducasse, the engineer,
committed suicide.

Why?

The police found a letter
on his table near the veranda.

Simon, get the paper.

His study was a small round room
full of books.

He left his letter there.

He wrote...

"I'm tired of life. I'm too lonely.
Goodbye to a select few."

He jumped from his tower.

Three days ago.

A local man saw
the shattered veranda.

The body was lying there
in a coffin of broken glass.

I saw the broken glass
but paid no mind.

I never met Ducasse.

He rarely spoke to anyone.

He had no family.
We don't know who to notify.

It's horrible.

How was the house?

I went this morning with Simon.
Suzon had the key.

He had so many books
in that small round room.

The veranda
was filled with toys, dolls, costumes.

Suzon took a doll, and wept.

Quite a story.

Keep me posted.

I will. Thank you.

Are you alright?

I'm not afraid.
I hope I'll be brave.

Are you happy?

It's nearly done.

- Yes, I finished my novel.
- I meant your wife.

- What are you up to?
- I want stockings.

Put those back.

Later, in winter,
if you get good marks.

I just spoke with your son Simon.

I've decided to keep him on
this winter,

despite what I told you.

He's a hard worker,
and so helpful.

I'll put him to good use.

I'll fire the cook instead,
he costs more.

Simon will have to sleep
at the hotel.

That way he can lock up at night.

One needs a man in a hotel.

Talk to your husband
since Simon is a minor.

He's accepted my offer.

I'll give him a raise at Easter.

See you soon.

I'll feed him well.

I'll spoil him.
I've got time in winter.

Edgar!

I'm in pain!

Doctor, tell me...

It's a boy.
