Alice

Hello

What have you been doing It's been ringing for hours.

Hi Jean.

Don't tell me you were still asleep Did I wake you up

What's the time

It's half past nine.

No, it's even later it is quarter to ten.

I have to hand in a translation at noon and I haven't finished it.

Where are you calling from

From the airport.

These new airplanes are incredible.

Only three hours ago I was at home.

Listen when can we meet, I've got lots of funny stories to tell you.

Well, I can't make it this morning.

The thing is, I really need my typewriter too.

Is yours ready yet

I have to pick it up today.

What are you going to do Are you going straight to the office

No, I am going to the bookshop first.

Ok then I'll bring it with me and pick you up. It is on my way.

Great. I'll wait for you by the obelisk.

Will eleven thirty be alright

Sure.

PROFESSOR JANEK

That evening I should have gone to the theatre with Filippo

and his new girlfriend

that Belgian girl who works in public relations.

He insisted so much that in the end...

You wouldn't believe it...

You've not heard a word I said. What's on your mind

I was thinking about the dream I had this morning.

It keeps coming back

a very strange dream.

A man is abandoned on the moon.

For an experiment by a mysterious organization.

It sounds almost like science fiction.

It was.

Oh yes, I remember now.

I dreamed a scene from a movie I have seen many years ago.

It made a terrible impression on me.

I never saw the end I left before it was over.

It was called:

"Blood on the Moon".

No. "Footprints On The Moon"

Miss Campos

Yes

Leblanche has succeeded, you are not on the list for Sidney.

It's a real conspiracy.

But, how do you know this

Larson just told me.

You didn't listen to my advice

It's Ms. Shweiss who does everything around here

Anyhow it's not fair because you are very good at your work.

I heard you the other day.

If you like I could speak to Hinman. He is a good friend of Dileo's.

Perhaps it's not too late.

No, it doesn't matter, thanks anyway.

Good morning.

I brought Professor Janeck's Report.

Ms. Shwaiss has left.

Oh, has she

May I leave it with you

Sit down.

Do you know when this was supposed to be in

At noon.

But not today.

Do you know Miss Leblanche

Marie Leblanche

She had to take your place suddenly at the last session.

You interrupted your translation and left without telling anyone.

That's not possible. I was here yesterday.

Yesterday

The last session of the conference for astronautics, Miss Campos,

was held on Monday.

So we are speaking of three days ago, not yesterday.

Ms. Shweiss went into your booth and you were not there.

That's impossible.

I worked at that session.

Who spoke

Madam... Verdier.

But her speech is not in your folder.

What's more you never even picked up the tapes.

Professor Janeck spoke the day before.

Ms. Shweiss and I called your house

but there was no answer.

But...

What day is it today

Look at the calendar, it is right in front of you.

Thursday...

it is impossible.

Are you sure you were cut out for this type of work

It is not the first time you have caused problems.

And what is worse...

The session is over.

I will be there in a moment.

I'm sorry but I must leave you.

Do I come back to work

That's up to Ms. Shweiss.

Hello

Yes

Mary It's Alice.

Alice! Where have you been

I need to talk to you.

What happened

Something I can't explain.

I have forgotten the last three days... I have no memory of anything.

Tell me about that last session then.

Are you quite sure you were there

Yes.

I was in cabin 5.

I remember perfectly.

The first speaker was...

...Dr. Gregorius.

And then...

Yes go on.

And then Mrs. Verdier spoke.

She was wearing a red dress.

She read a report on the latest information

from their computer on La Roche du Fond in Brittany.

The text was very long

and the cabin was so hot and airless that I couldn't breathe

I didn't seem able to concentrate.

Marie Leblanche was sitting there. She is a friend of Bernie.

She's the one who is going to Sidney instead of me.

She kept staring at me

as if she was trying to make me make a mistake.

I realized that I couldn't make it

and suddenly I began to panic.

I felt an irrational fear

and in fact...

all of a sudden...

Go on

In the hall...

something happened.

Try to remember.

The room was full of people.

Turned towards me, looking at me.

Yes, I remember.

I rushed out of the booth and left the building by one of the side doors.

To go where

I don't know.

I don't remember.

Oh yes.

I ran across those gardens.

As if I was running away from something.

And then...

But it's no use. My mind is a total blank.

It's all these tranquillizers you take.

You probably took a larger dose than usual

and slept right through to this morning...

What! For two whole days

It is not impossible.

You needed to rest, and this conditioned your will.

There is no doubt you are totally exhausted and you know it.

There is something else...

What do you mean

I didn't tell you everything.

There is still something I can't explain.

- A post card - Yes...

I found it on the kitchen floor torn in pieces

with nothing written on it.

Do you know a town called Garma

Garma

Yes Garma.

Never heard of it. Why

That postcard showed a hotel.

Underneath it said Hotel Garma, Garma.

It's strange but that hotel with its huge old fashion façade,

I am sure I have seen it before.

I could swear it has a room with a large stained glass,

with a beautiful peacock.

This obsession of yours to be good at a job

that in fact you hate is almost inhuman.

And the worst remedy for loneliness.

Which in your case, of course, is self imposed.

When will you know if you get your job back

I don't know, the organization will decide.

Let’s call each other then,

and let's meet up more often

maybe you could come for dinner.

Tony will be so happy to see you.

He goes to school now.

Agreed Good bye.

I am sorry I didn't come in yesterday.

I tried to call you over and over

but you were never here.

It does not matter

did you see an earring anywhere

Another one like this. I can't seem to find it.

No. I am sorry.

- Finished already - Yes, miss.

I wanted to take your grey suit to the cleaners

but I couldn't find it anywhere.

It should be here.

Whose dress is this

I've never seen it before.

Maybe it belongs to that German friend of yours who was staying here last month.

Emma Bilimburst

No, it is too big. Beside I would have seen it before.

Look there is a spot on it.

It looks like blood.

Hello

Hello

Hello

I'd like a ticket for Garma.

Garma

Yes. Garma.

Just a moment please.

I'll have to book you to Hinton,

Garma is not far from it.

Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find a taxi

There are only two. Usually they wait here, in the square.

I see. So I just have to wait, then.

I am going to the town now. I'll give you a lift if you like

Thank you very much

Let me take your bag.

Is this your first time in Garma.

Yes.

The place isn't very exciting this time of the year.

I won't be staying very long. Do you live here

Partly here and partly in Muda, an island just a few miles to the west.

I have an old house here in Garma that I am trying to fix up.

I am a very bad carpenter. See

Would you drop me here, please

Thank you.

Good Evening.

What can I do for you

I would like a room, please.

The oriental room with the peacock if possible.

Excuse me

The one with the balcony overlooking the sea.

One moment please.

Would you be staying long

No, just one night.

- Good night. - Here.

Thank you. Good night.

Hi!

Hi.

Fox isn't here today.

Who is Fox

The stray dog. I brought him a bone.

Would you like to sit here

Your pin says Alice.

My name is Alice.

That's not true.

- What's my name then - Nicole.

And I am Mary.

Nicole That's a nice name.

Paola!

Then it's not true that your name is Mary

Paola!

I am coming!

Can I have it

The pin

No. I'll give you this instead if you like.

It's pretty.

It's yours, but don't tell lies.

My name is also Mary, Matthew always calls me Mary.

Who is Matthew

A man.

Is it made of gold

It looks like gold, but it isn't.

It's pretty. Bye.

I am sorry, but I can't keep it.

Miss Campos

Hello, don't you remember me

Have I changed all that much

I am Laurenti Alfredo Laurenti.

I... am not sure...

I am a friend of Guido Stein. We met three years ago

We met at Francesca Iori, don't you remember

Oh yes, that's right.

What an odd coincidence, both of us here in Garma.

It's my first visit. It's a beautiful place.

It is really, but unfortunately my holiday is over

my boat leaves in ten minutes.

But I thought I saw you the other day, Tuesday

Tuesday

Yes, on the beach around noon.

I caught a glimpse of you.

I turned round to say hello, but you had already gone.

Well, I must leave you

but if I miss the two o'clock boat I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Give my best to Guido when you see him.

Mr. Laurenti

Yes

Excuse me, I wanted to ask you something.

Please go ahead.

You said you saw me here on Tuesday

Yes. On the beach.

Are you sure it was me

Well I couldn't swear it was you, it was far away.

Why Wasn't it you

I just got here last night.

Well, I must have made a mistake. Sorry I must go.

Paola

What do you want

Why did you say my name was Nicole

Because it is.

How do you know

You said so.

When

Tuesday, when we were on the North Beach.

Don't you remember

Near the wall.

I have to close the door. They are coming back.

Please!

Tuesday What else did I tell you on Tuesday

You were looking for a house.

Don't you remember

A white house in the woods.

Take a good look at me.

Are you sure Nicole is me

No...

I don't know anymore.

Yes or no

No, Nicole had long red hair.

- And besides... - What

You are nicer than she is.

Were we alone on the beach

No.

Mrs. Iris was there.

The lady with the white dress, the one who is always knitting.

That's them, they are coming. Go away.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

There is another storm blowing up.

Most people have left by now.

Would you like one

Thank you.

I let go of my diet. I have such a sweet tooth.

Do you always come here on holiday

For over thirty years.

Garma isn't what it used to be.

You should have seen it then.

There was even a casino.

I think I saw you sitting here on Tuesday

It is possible. I come here every afternoon.

I was on the beach with the little girl.

Paula Belsen

An adorable child,

with an extraordinary imagination.

Last year she was forever chatting about some peculiar little friend.

Of course no one ever saw this little friend.

Lonely children very often

begin to imagine their playmate.

I thought you may have noticed me,

I mean on Tuesday

I was over there by those rocks.

Where On the North Beach

There are the ruins of an ancient buried village

in that bay, did you know that

No, I didn't see you on Tuesday,

but then again, poor me how could I

my long distance glasses broke a week ago

and I still haven't had them repaired.

Hi.

Good evening.

I think I must be lost.

I wanted to go back to the beach.

This way. I am going up that road too.

It's not easy to find your way around if you are not a native here.

From your accent I'd say you are Italian.

I live in Italy, but I am Portuguese.

I used to come here on holiday.

Then slowly I surrendered to Garma.

What do you do

Biology. I am a biologist.

That must be interesting.

Yes it is.

When you keep looking at life through a microscope, the risk is that

you don't take part in what's going on around you.

First time I saw you I would have made a bet

you had come to Garma to meet someone.

You'd have lost. In fact I came to be alone and to rest.

So it wouldn't be any good me asking to see you again.

I'm sorry but I am leaving tomorrow.

This road leads to your hotel.

Something is wrong isn't it

What makes you think that

Something in your eyes.

Sometimes one can be upset without reason.

Or maybe just tired.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Well anyway, if there were a reason

and talking about it made you feel any happier

you can find me every day around noon

at the cafe near the Mosque, ok

Thanks.

There was a call for you today.

For me When

Just after you went out.

They wanted to know if you were still staying at the hotel.

They didn't leave any name.

Was it a man or a woman

The voice came from a long way away

and it was hard to understand.

But it was a man, I think.

Aren't you talking to me anymore

I'll build you a sand castle if you want

an oriental sandcastle with lots of minarets.

Yes. We'll build it here.

I want it very tall with a moat around it.

Ok.

Then bring me a pale of water.

Why didn't you want to talk to me

Raffaella said I shouldn't talk to strangers.

She is that woman asleep down there.

Where is the drawbridge We need a drawbridge if there is a moat.

Oh but there is one, you see.

That doesn't look like a drawbridge.

It's not finished yet.

Tell me about Nicole.

Raffaella may wake up.

Why did you say that I am nicer than Nicole

Because she kicked Fox

when he found her hiding behind the rocks. And now Fox hates her.

Why was she hiding

Look there is Fox. Wait. I'll give him his bones.

Fox!

Fox...

Come here Fox.

Fox doesn't know you yet.

That's why he didn't come.

We need a flag there.

Here use this.

...ASTRONAUTICS...

Where did you find this piece of paper

It was the paper on Fox's bone.

Yes, yes I know, but where did it come from

Come on.

Here.

I found the piece of paper right here.

There were lots of them, but the wind blew them all away.

It blew away the ashes too.

There was a big fire.

I saw it from down there.

Who lit it

Nicole.

You said she was hiding

She was always hiding and she was holding something in her hand.

What

A package, a small one, like this.

Where did she sleep

I don't know... Maybe in the woods.

I have already told you...

She was looking for a house.

A house in a wood.

But she couldn't find it.

That's why she was crying...

Why did she light the fire

She wanted to burn a dress.

Was it a grey dress

I don't want to stay here anymore.

Let’s go and finish the castle.

All right.

But first you'll have to tell me why Nicole was always hiding.

Who are you

Raffaella says you are a foreigner.

Yes I am.

Fox isn't coming, I have to get back.

I'll leave you the bone

then you can make friends with him.

No.

First you have to tell me why Nicole was hiding here.

She didn't want to be seen.

She was scared.

Scared of what

Nicole told me not to tell anyone.

Look at me.

I am Nicole.

That's not true.

You cannot be Nicole! Nicole had long red hair.

I've already told you.

Fox!

Fox. Take it.

It's yours, take it Fox.

A coffee, please.

Stayed in Garma, after all

As you can see.

Why did you put off going

Just one more day...

I'm leaving tomorrow.

Are you going back to Italy

How did you know I live in Italy

You told me yesterday.

Oh yes, so I did.

You seem to be very worried.

I know...

I know why you came here.

You had to talk to me.

You are wrong.

I only came here by chance.

No, you came to tell me something.

Perhaps the moment has passed.

The night we first met

at the ferry terminal.

You looked at me in a strange way...

as though you already knew me.

I don't remember.

You'd never seen me before, had you

I don't think so, why

Do you think we met before

No, I am sure I never met you before.

Me too.

I wouldn't have forgotten you.

Do you have to leave tomorrow

Is there someone waiting for you

Nobody.

So...

Stay.

One more day won't make much difference.

I was waiting for you.

You didn’t just happen to be passing,

I knew you would come.

Why did you ask me that question

Why

Everything is ready.

I'll expect you at four.

I am sorry I have to go.

Will I see you again

I don't know. Goodbye.

Oh, oh my dear how are you

Did you ever see such weather The season is truly over.

What a pity. By the way did you hear the news

Manda Dubroska is here in Garma.

She is giving just one concert tonight in the Presbyterian Church.

I heard her in Paris in 1960.

She was simply sensational, sublime.

What do you say we go together

Matthew leaves tomorrow. I'll stay at the hotel alone.

Would you like to go for an ice cream

One moment please.

Good afternoon.

Oh it's you, forgive me, I didn't recognize you.

What can we do for you

Well, it's about this wig.

I would like to have it cleaned and combed

It is pretty bad condition.

Did it fall in the water

Yes.

What a shame.

I did tell you didn't I that it was very delicate hair.

Come this way

Please take a seat. I won't keep you long.

You didn't take my advice I see.

About what

Your make-up.

That very light make up I did for you on Tuesday,

it was better for what you had asked.

What did I ask

To change your appearance.

Much younger, much more feminine.

Different. Very different.

Shall we try it again

Absolutely perfect.

Now let’s get on to the make-up.

The transformation will be complete.

Take it off!

I have to go.

Are you in a hurry again today Why don't you keep it on

No.

Send it to my hotel. The Garma.

You are right on time.

Please come in.

We did our best I hope you'll be pleased.

Here's the hat.

It's the one you tried and didn't like.

It's altogether different now.

Why should I like it now

It's much simpler.

It's exactly the way you wanted it.

And here are the shoes you requested.

Sit down. Let's try them.

Did you find him, then

Who

Your friend.

What friend

Your friend Harry.

Who told you I had a friend named Harry

You did.

I did

Don't you remember But of course you do.

You even told me he plays tennis and his favourite colour is yellow.

What else did I tell you

Well, you said you'd come to Garma to look him up.

But you didn't have his address.

The only thing you remembered was that he lived in the woods

a house in the woods.

You also seemed very upset.

You must be quite fond of him, aren't you

The handbag isn't ready yet, I am afraid.

What

The handbag. I am sorry.

They haven't engraved your name yet.

What name

Why, yours. Nicole.

I'll send everything to your hotel this evening.

To the Garma.

You are mixing me up with somebody else.

You are making a mistake. My name is not Nicole,

and I have never been here before.

Never.

Alice.

Alice.

Harry.

May I have my bill. I am leaving at once.

Very well.

Mrs. Ines has left a message for you.

Oh yes.

Is there something wrong

My wallet...

Excuse me

I have lost my wallet.

- Are you sure - You left your wallet at Marcel.

I got it, I will wait for you at Dubrowska's concert.

If you are going to the airport the last boat leaves at seven.

Mrs. Ines

Oh I am so glad you could come.

And what do you think of Madame Dubrowska

Isn't she fabulous

You couldn't have missed her.

Could I have my wallet, please.

- Of course - Excuse me, but I have decided to go.

My boat leaves at seven. I really must hurry...

Thank you, goodbye.

I am afraid your boat has already left, my dear.

Look, you see it is five minutes after.

You should have thought about leaving a little earlier.

What a pity. Oh well, you'll just have to wait until tomorrow...

You lied to me all along...

What did I lie about

This isn't your first visit to Garma.

Your pin.

It is a local handicraft.

Look at this.

It's tortoiseshell, just like yours.

The same workmanship.

Only one local silversmith used to make them to order.

He died many years ago.

Are you ready It's me Paola.

So, you are Nicole.

Will you tell me everything now

Come on. Don't be afraid.

Let’s go out. Didn't you want an ice cream

Paola look at me.

You said you would tell me everything.

I didn't tell anyone.

I swear it.

What was I afraid of

You should know. They were looking for you.

- Who - Some people.

Bad people who wanted to hurt you.

Where were they

You said here. In Garma.

Are they still here

I don't know.

They were here on Tuesday though.

Are you sure

You said so when you ran away

and then you came back with that package.

What was in the package

I don't know.

You didn't have it before you went into that shop there.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Do you remember me

Oh yes, of course.

- You were here before. - Yes...

On Tuesday.

Yes, I remember now.

You bought a postcard and those...

And those

Were they right

No.

Do you want another size

Yes.

I mean no...

I want the same size.

But you just said...

It doesn't matter.

Would you like me to wrap them

Please.

I want to go back to the hotel.

Why did I buy those scissors

I don't know.

I must have told you.

No, I swear it.

Don't lie.

It's true. I don't know.

What did I do when I came back here

You shouted, you screamed and then you ran away into the woods.

There was a man over there.

Did you see him

No, I never saw anybody.

Then how did you know he was there

Because you said you'd seen him.

You said he was looking for you.

Precisely that man.

Come here.

Come here.

You are lying to me.

I didn't see anything, you shouted at them, and then you ran away.

What did I shout, tell me.

You are hurting me.

You shouted somebody's name.

What name

I don't know, I don't remember.

Let go of me.

Oh yes you know it!

Tell me that name!

Tell me that name!

I don't know! Let me go!

Feeling better

I found you unconscious in the woods.

Not far from here.

I hope it's nothing serious.

This house... I have been here before.

Yes, many years ago.

There was a painting instead of this mirror.

With some words.

Ancient Chinese ideograms.

A crane calling out in the shade.

Her chick answers.

I have a fine cup of honey

I want to share with you.

So you are...

...Harry

It's impossible.

Impossible.

That summer you spent your vacation at Rimba

A few miles away from Garma

by the coast.

Yes.

With Aunt Edna.

She had just come back from India.

My parents were away,

and I brought you here one day

with my sailing boat.

Percival.

It was called... Percival.

But you,

all these days,

you have known all along who I was.

Yes.

Then why

I just couldn't convince myself that I had left no trace in you at all,

that you could look at me and see only a stranger.

The idea of reminding you of me...

Well... quite frankly it humiliated me.

That's why I brought you here.

I wanted you to find out for yourself.

Harry.

Harry, help me.

Help me.

Yes Alice.

Yes.

That sad shadow across your eyes:

How do you make it disappear

Alice!

Harry!

Harry.

Harry.

Help me.

Help me.

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

Come here.

Harry.

Harry.

No, I am sorry.

Yes... everything went according to plan.

I brought her suitcase from the hotel.

She's sleeping now.

Leave it to me. She won't get away this time.

No, not this time.

Anyway I will let you know.

Yes of course, I'll be keeping you informed.

Alice...

Alice...

Hold on one moment please.

Alice!

Alice!

Alice!

What's the matter

Open the door.

Alice.

Listen to me.

I know you can hear me

Open the door.

I was here on Tuesday why didn't you tell me

I won't come any closer if you don't want me to.

But you must believe what I tell you.

You did come here on Tuesday

You were very upset,

you said your name was Nicole and you were in danger.

You were disguised to hide your real identity.

You were looking for Harry.

You said only Harry could help you.

I told you I was Harry but you wouldn't believe me.

We hadn't seen each other in a long time.

You were looking for a boy who doesn't exist anymore.

I am that boy.

That's not true.

When you came back to Garma and didn't recognize me

I followed you around to protect you.

To help you discover the truth for yourself.

Then who were you talking to on the telephone just now

A friend of mine.

A doctor who might have helped you.

I called him to tell him he wasn't needed anymore.

That you are with me now.

I am not crazy.

Alice.

Last Tuesday you were not yourself.

You were saying things that were unbelievable.

What did I say What

It's not important now.

What did I say

Alice.

What did I say

That someone was persecuting you.

Who

Who

An organization.

Agents.

Did I mention the name

- No. - Oh yes I did.

What name

Blackman.

Blackman

But those people, Blackman, they don't exist.

It's only a movie.

Unless you...

Unless you...

Are one of them!

That cut of yours.

I did it on Tuesday! With those scissors!

It was an accident.

You are lying! You are one of them!

They don't exist.

I am not crazy!

On Tuesday when you came here,

you needed love and protection

I can still give you that love.

Come here.

You are not Harry.

You are not Harry.

I am not Nicole!

My name is Alice.

Those agents don't exist.

This time I won't run away.

SINCE 15 OCTOBER 1971 ALICE CAMPOS HAS BEEN INTERNED

AT THE NEUROPSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE IN KUSTNAZT (SWITZERLAND)
