(Wind whistles)

(Vehicle sounds horn)

Come on, the bus won't wait.

Hurry, come on.

Hurry. Get on the bus.
The weather's turning.

Come on.

Up you get.

Wait! Wait for me!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Over here!

Hello?

Is anyone home?

(Chains clink)

(Chains rattle)

(Chains clink)

Is anyone home?

I'm a foreigner and I'm lost!

(Rattle and scrape)

I know someone's there. Please!

Well, this is quite a revelation to me,
Professor.

I mean, I had no idea
an expert on insects

could provide the police
with such invaluable help

in a homicide investigation.

Normally we don't,
but I made the unfortunate error

of becoming an expert
on cadaveric fauna.

You see, Kurt...

John, we're not going through
that whole number again, are we?

Yes, we are,
just like we did the first time

you came here
all those years ago.

Do you remember, Rudy,
the first case we solved together?

When a dead body
is exposed to the elements,

sooner or later
it's eaten up by insects.

- (Squeals)
- Hey!

You naughty girl.

Hey! Where did you get this?

You know you could out yourself?

Look. Look here.
You could out yourself with this.

See. It's not a toy.

Not a toy.
Where did you find it?

Oh. Outside.

And who, may I ask,
put it out there?

I don't want you ever...
I don't want you ever, ever,

playing with this again.

Ook, ook!

(Chatters)

Oh, I forgot to introduce you.
This is Inga.

She's my nurse.

If I pick out something with my laser,
she never forgets it.

She's also my friend too,
aren't you, Inga?

But she's a very good nurse.

Insects that eat cadavers
are divided into eight groups.

Eight groups of insects
that follow one another,

installing themselves
at exact moments

and on precise terms.

Never sooner and never later.

We call them
the eight squadrons of death.

First comes the common fly.

Lays its eggs
in the rotting corpse.

And thus the cycle begins.

Each group stays 15 days.

15! You multiply it by 8.

- The number of the groups is...
- Four months.

- In the case of this head...
- (Inga screeches)

...the cycle not only
seems to be complete

but to have been repeated.

- Which puts us at...
- Eight months.

Now I see.

By calculating
the presence and the growth

of the flies or the maggots,

you can pinpoint
the exact date of death.

Or murder.

So, our victim was decapitated
some eight months ago.

And 15 days.
Aren't you forgetting something?

15 days while the body
was submerged in the lake,

before the putrefying gasses
brought it to the surface,

and thence to the shore,
where the first flies arrived.

Eight and a half months, then.

Perhaps a little less.

The mountain wind, the FO'hn,
was unusually warm this year.

So, we could say
that she lost her head

somewhere between
September 7th and 10th.

Am I right, John?
Let's see now, about that time.

The first girl to disappear,
that was September 9th.

A 14-year-old Danish tourist
named Vera Brandt.

- The body was never found.
- Just like the other girl's.

Like Greta.

Poor Greta.

She's on that list too.

She's missing all right,
but we have no proof she's dead.

After finding this, what's the use
of hiding from the facts?

There's a killer.

A vicious killer.

A girl killer.

We'll get him.

And when we do...

Good night, Professor.

(Door opens)

- (Inga chatters)
- (Door shuts)

Do you know this part
of the country?

No, this is my first trip
to Europe.

It's a very unusual area.

- People call it the Swiss Transylvania.
- Why?

I don't know. They just do.

So, you are the Corvino girl.
Your father is terribly...

Yes, isn't he?

I admire him very much.
I thought he might have come with you.

No. Dad's working
in the Philippines.

He'll be there
for almost a year.

- He can't even be reached by telephone.
- Oh!

Well, in any case,
he's placed you in good hands.

You know, I'm sure
you're going to like our school.

To begin with,
we all speak English.

And then our academic programme
is based on the American one.

Ah! A bee!

Oh! Be careful!
It might sting you!

No, leave it alone!

Look out!

No, don't kill it! Please!

- Don't touch it! Don't touch it!
- Stop yelling!

- It's a bee!
- I know.

It won't hurt me.
Insects never hurt me.

I love them.

- You... you love them?
- Yes.

I love all insects.

'And so Jennifer arrives in Switzerland
from the New World

'to pass her first memorable night

'at the Richard Wagner
International School for girls.'

Take the bags in, please.

Impressive, isn't it?

The estate was once
Richard Wagner's home.

The school only occupies
the main building.

The others are closed
because they're not safe.

Never go into them, ever.

Come along.

(Wind whistles outside)

I'm starved.
Is there anything to eat?

- No, sorry.
- Because of the time changes,

I haven't eaten anything
but breakfast for two days.

What are they?

Baby food.

My parents left it, when they came
to visit me with my little brother.

Chicken, beef...

...mixed vegetables.

He's seven months old.

I bet he's the only male
who's ever seen me inside of this place.

Mixed vegetables, great.
I'm a vegetarian.

- I... I need a...
- Spoon? No.

Ah.

How is it?

- Like cat food.
- By the way, I'm Sophie. I'm French.

- Jennifer.
- Hi.

Have you met
the headmistress yet?

Speaking of the devil.

You are the new girl.
You were expected this afternoon.

My plane was late
because of bad weather.

Would you like some?

The school has its rules.

I'm sorry,
but I must confiscate this.

Hey, wait. You don't know who that is.
That's Paul Corvino!

Sophie, that's enough.
Get into bed.

And if I catch you smoking again,
you will be sorry.

And you, young lady, to bed.

And switch off the light.

That bitch,
stealing Paul Corvino.

Yeah, it's all right.
I have a bunch of them in my bag.

So, tomorrow, I'll put them
all up all over the room.

I've seen all his movies.
I saw his last one three times.

(Jennifer) Lucky you.

He must have made me sit through it
at least 15 times.

He says he trusts my opinion.

You mean you know him?

Yeah, of course I do.

Have you been to bed with him?

Paul Corvino is my father.

- Oh, sorry.
- It's all right.

Your mother lives in India
and owns a hotel.

She remarried.
Your father never did.

You were only seven
when they split up.

- No, I was eight.
- Eight! You were seven.

How do you know so much
about Paul Corvino?

- I read "Cine Review".
- Oh.

Well, it was Christmas Day...

...and we were opening
presents together...

...and the phone rang.

So, Mom answered it...

...and she said...

..."I'll be right there!"

And it was her lover.

So, then she left...

...and she never came back.

But I remember that Dad
got 12 presents that year

and he said the 13th was Mom
walking out on him like that.

You didn't read that
in "Cine Review", did you?

(Sophie) You know,
I'm really glad you're here.

I've always had to sleep alone.

It can be very scary.
Thanks for coming.

I'm the one
who should thank you.

Don't let me forget,
I owe you a meal.

You know, there's a murderer
around here. A crazy man.

A maniac who kidnaps girls
our age and kills them.

And then he hides the bodies.

Can we change the subject?
I need my sleep.

I'm really tired from the trip.

You're right.

Sometimes I lie awake all night,
thinking about it.

What do you think about
before you fall asleep?

My father.

If I thought about your father,
I'd never get any sleep.

You mind if I watch TV?
I've got earphones.

No problem.
Good night, Sophie.

(Sophie) Good night, Jennifer.

- Shit!
- Are you OK?

Are you foreign? Are you hurt?

Why are you dressed like that?

Do you understand me?

Hey, do you understand me?

- I'm sleepwalking.
- Do you believe that tale?

No, if you ask me,
she's on drugs.

- Just look at her eyes.
- I need to wake up.

Cut it out!

Sit still, you little Shit!

- Where did she go?
- I can't see anything.

Gosh! She's gone!

Come on, let's go.

(Guns engine)

(Wheels screech)

(Inga screeches and chatters)

(Chatters)

(Professor) Is this the first time
you've been sleepwalking?

No, it's happened before
in the States.

You look a mess, child.
Have you any idea where you've been?

No. It's all a blank.

- I never remember anything.
- (Inga chatters)

- My saviour.
- So, you're American?

Mm-hm. I'm studying
at the academy.

- Where are you from?
- I'm from Scotland.

I came here as a student
and stayed to teach.

Then I had this accident
and I haven't moved since.

- What do you teach?
- Entomology. I study insects.

- Really?
- Do insects interest you?

Yeah, a lot. I love them.

- Do you mean that?
- Absolutely. Why?

You remind me of another girl.
Greta.

She used to come here
sometimes, help out.

Mostly secretarial work.

- And then...
- Then?

She was supposed to come here
one night. She never arrived.

- The killer got her.
- What do you know about that?

Well, you used the past tense,
as if she were dead.

She left her coat here.

You must be frozen, child.

It should fit you.
It's upstairs.

Here, she'll show you
where it is.

(Inga chatters)

(Jennifer) No, wait a second.
Wait a second.

What are you doing?

Nice, I like it.

There's a good boy.

Now, don't play any tricks.

Bull's-eye!

What beats me
is that it never misses.

The species is supposed
to be practically blind.

Thanks. Be careful.
You're in range.

It won't do anything to me.

(Insect chirp)

You look like Greta in that coat.

She liked insects too.

But they didn't like her
the way that one likes you.

That sound that you can hear
is a mating call.

You're exciting it.

Smell it.

- Go on. Go on, smell it.
- You sure?

It's sort of sweet.

That substance
is secreted by a gland.

It too is meant to attract a mate.

You're exciting him,
and he's doing his best to excite you.

(Chuckles)
And to think we only just met.

This isn't the mating season.

I can't understand it.

I've never seen
anything like it before.

Well, thanks for everything.

Stop by any time.

Good night.

You make an old man happy.
Take the cable car.

It's only a five-minute ride
from the town.

I don't know. Maybe.

And mind how you go
with that sleepwalking.

If it happens to you again,
you must say, "I am sleepwalking.

"I must wake up.

"I am sleepwalking.
I must wake up."

I'm sleepwalking.
I must wake up.

I'm sleepwalking.

I won't need it. I haven't had
an attack for ages.

It must have been the trip out.

Or maybe the change of air.

Maybe the wind.

The wind? Yes.

The FO'hn.
A very particular wind.

Typical of this part
of the country.

It comes from the Alps.

The blasts of warm air
cause snow avalanches.

Make the flowers grow.

The hatching of the larvae.

Some people get headaches.

When it blows, there are those who say
it causes madness.

It's a strange part of the country.

The Swiss Transylvania.

Will someone please tell me
what this E.E.G. is supposed to do?

What you did last night
is highly irregular.

No student ever left the school
at night before.

How many times
do I have to tell you

that I didn't walk out on purpose?

I walk in my sleep.

- It happens.
- But it is not normal.

It's our duty to know more.

But I know everything
there is to know about it.

I've been examined by the best.
It's not an illness.

But this could be leading up
to something far more serious.

You say you remember nothing.

This is not a matter
of talking in your sleep

or ransacking the fridge.

It could be leading up to a new personality
trying to emerge.

Sometimes it's the first step
on the path to schizophrenia.

So, you think I'm crazy, huh?
Well, you can forget your E.E.G.

There now.
Calm down, calm down.

OK, OK, go ahead.

I'll show you
which one of us is crazy.

(Moans)

- What happened?
- That's strange.

(Sobs)

Do you suffer from epilepsy?

Or do you take something like...
do you understand, drugs?

I am not crazy, schizophrenic,
epileptic or stoned.

Hello? Shapiro Evans?

Hi. I'd like to speak to Morris,
please.

I mean Mr Shapiro.
Jennifer Corvino.

Right, Paul Corvino's daughter.

He's out of town?

Three days?

What do you mean, it's a holiday?
What holiday is it?

Passover?

Hey, look who's there.

Zombie.

Hey, have you heard?
She walks in her sleep.

Walks in her sleep?
If you ask me, she's got problems.

So, that's Paul Corvino's daughter.

That still doesn't give her
the right to be such a show-off.

Here she comes.

- What's wrong?
- Damn Morris.

- Who's he? Your boyfriend?
- No.

He's my father's agent and attorney.

I want to tell him to get me
out of this shitty school.

- He found it.
- Why do you want to leave?

Your little brother isn't the only male
to have graced this place.

- First, you forgot the doctor.
- He's not a man.

He's got more hands
than the entire basketball team.

And second,
you forgot the killer.

- Killer?
- (Bell rings)

What is the poet trying to say
with these words?

Well?
Who's going to answer?

You tell us.

- Me?
- Yes, you, Elizabeth.

I think the poet took the words
right out of a Bee Gees song.

- (Laughter)
- That's very funny.

The poet in question
is Abraham Cowley.

What if the killer saw me?

- I'm really scared.
- I would be too.

Can you imagine if I walk
in my sleep again tonight

and run right into him?

Please, promise you'll keep
an eye on me tonight.

We'll lock the door.

And if you hear me get up
or do anything, wake me.

Promise?

Please say yes.

- Sophie? You tell us.
- Me?

Yes. Stand up.

Um... um...

The poet, through
his oracular style...

The poet, through
his auricular style...

- Oracular.
- ...oracular style...

...tells us
of the dangers we face,

should we forget the sense
and meaning of the past.

...tells us of the danger we face,

should we forget the sense
and the meaning of the past.

And do you believe
that danger exists?

- Screw the past.
- Screw the past.

(Chatter and laughter)

Right on, Sophie.

Silence!

And what about Ancient Greece?
Shakespeare?

OK, I'll keep an eye
on you tonight.

- And Richard Wagner!
- Richard Gere!

(Loud chatter)

- (Wind whistles outside)
- (Man talks on TV)

Good evening.
We start with some sad news.

(Soundtrack drowns speech)

- Do you like it?
- Nice! Where did it come from?

I put it on by mistake.
Guess who it belongs to.

Paul Corvino's daughter.

- Yeah? The actor?
- Yes.

Her name is Jennifer
and she's my roommate.

Huh! All right!

Oh, yes, he's fantastic.

All those muscles!

Not him, her.
What is she like?

Oh, she's pretty.
She wears her hair like mine.

I have to watch her at night
because she walks in her sleep.

- Walks in her sleep?
- Yeah.

She gets up
and she walks like this.

(Giggles)

Really, Sophie, I have to go.

I have to join
my regiment at dawn

and you know it's nearly
a three-hour trip.

Oh, come on,
stay a while longer.

I can't.
I really have to go.

You shit!

- What did you say?
- I said fuck you!

- (Moans)
- (Heartbeat)

(Crunching)

(Crunching)

- (Gasps)
- (Heartbeat grows louder)

(Moans)

(Screaming)

(Gasps)

- (Sighs)
- (Heartbeat sound fades)

I'm sleepwalking.

I must...

must...

I must wake up.

(Gasps)

(Low chatter on TV)

Sophie?

(Breathes hard)

(Pants)

(Screams)

(Screaming stops)

(Scream)

(Jennifer)
'The police came this morning.

'My pal the headmistress

'told them not to believe anything I say,
because she thinks I'm crazy.

'Maybe you think
I'm crazy too, Dad,

'if Production ever gets
this letter to you.

'I mean, there was
really nothing I could do.

'I was so scared that I couldn't say
anything about what I saw

'or why I screamed.'

(Screams)

So, you think the glove
belonged to the killer?

Yeah, I'm sure of it.

But why the maggot?

They're larvae.

If you give me time,
I'll identify them.

I'll be able to give you
an answer.

Perhaps to some other questions
as well.

You won't, Professor.

Oh, it's all right.
I know the way.

- Jennifer!
- Mm-hm?

You're forgetting your notebooks.

Thanks.

Have you any idea
why they behave like that?

Never done this before.

I guess they sense
the mood I'm in.

I'm often in a bad mood,
upset about something,

but they don't carry on like this.

In Ancient Greece,
the butterfly symbolised the soul,

the so-called psyche.

From the Greek,
butterfly, psyche.

What is this association between insects
and the human soul?

Huh?

Is it because of the multifarious
mystery of them both?

And we know something
about that, don't we?

OK. OK.

You see that glove?

An insect, a firefly, led me to it.

The police came to the school.

They asked me
a lot of questions.

But I didn't tell them
how I found the glove.

I didn't want them
to think I was crazy.

You can tell me.
I'm not the police.

What happened?

I was standing alone...

...in the dark.

And...

I needed help.

And a firefly...
it was like it heard me

and it answered my call.

You've calmed them down
just by telling me that.

But that's ridiculous.

It's new.

That's the essence of discovery
to a scientist.

If you only knew the things
I've discovered.

Things my fellow scientists
consider absurd.

Extrasensory perception.

The paranormal powers...

...that are unusual in human beings
are perfectly natural in insects.

Some species communicate
with each other

over vast distances by telepathy.

These little creatures
have enormous power.

I could give you
a multitude of examples.

I wrote a book about this very subject.
You may have it.

It's perfectly normal for insects
to be slightly telepathic.

Yeah, it's normal for insects.

But am I normal?

Jennifer! Eurgh!

(Girls laugh)

But why me?

Fraulein Corvino
cannot be left alone.

I want someone in here with her.

And I want to know everything
she says and does.

I'm scared of her. She arrived
and Sophie disappeared.

Plus she's crazy.
Listen to this.

"Dear Dad..."

Ah, here it is. "Do you remember
what the doctor said

"about sleepwalking
manifesting a split personality?

"It's true, my second personality
is emerging.

"Do you know how?
I communicate with insects."

"I mean I've discovered
I have power over them.

"I'm not kidding,
I even have a witness,

"the famous entomologist John McGregor,
who lives near here.

- "We've become friends..."
- You see? She is crazy.

This is mine.

- Hey, Jennifer, listen!
- What?

Bzz.

- I'm a spider!
- And I'm a worm.

- Speak and you shall be obeyed.
- No, no!

Stop it! Stop it!

I'm a killer spray!
Death to all insects!

- I'm a mosquito!
- I'm a fly!

- I'm a mosquito!
- I'm a fly!

(Shouting and laughter)

- I'm a mosquito! A mosquito!
- I'm a spider! I'm a spider!

(Shouting)

We worship you! We worship you!

We worship you!
We worship you! We worship you!

- Now, that's enough, girls!
- We worship you!

We worship you! We worship you!
We worship you!

We worship you!
We worship you! We worship you!

We worship you! We worship you...!

(Wind whistles)

I love you.

I love you all.

I love all of you.

(Clock ticks)

- She's still asleep.
- I called an ambulance

to have her taken
to the mental hospital.

They'll be here any minute.

At least they'll be better equipped
to keep her calm.

But is she insane?

Well, she's not normal.

- She's diabolic.
- Diabolic?

Yes. The Bible also refers
to the devil as Baalzebub,

which means Lord of the flies.

Look at her,
the Lady of the flies.

Call me as soon as she wakes up.

(Clock ticks)

Mmf.

(Clatters)

(Vehicle draws up outside)

(Clock rattles)

(Cuckoo call)

Diabolic?

Hey, does Jennifer
look like a devil to you?

Huh?

(Professor chuckles)

No. You're not a devil.

The only devil around here
is the killer.

But I understand
how you must be feeling.

I know what it feels like
to be different.

And the conditions that go with it,
pity, irony, revulsion...

annoyance.

People have the ability to make you
almost hate yourself.

There's a big difference
between you and me.

When that car bashed into me,
I lost something.

But you, you gained something.

You're in a position
to do extraordinary things

with that gift of yours.

Come on! I want to
show you something.

Come on, Inga.

(Insects buzz)

Look.

These were inside the glove.

Larvae of the Great Sarcophagus.

A rather menacing name,
appropriate to the insect that bears it.

(Inga chatters)

It lives exclusively off dead bodies.
Human remains.

The Great Sarcophagus.

What a weird name!

They're a destroyer, a flesh-eater.

It is capable of picking up the scent
of a dead body over vast distances.

Its sensory perception
is extraordinary, quite unique.

But why did the glove
have so many larvae in it?

Perhaps because when
the murderer hides his victims,

he likes to keep
in physical contact with them.

Conserving them.

He is a psychopath.

If we mean to get him,

we have to call on the services

of the two greatest detectives
ever known.

Perhaps I should say
unknown up until now.

Who are they?

You

and him.

The Great Sarcophagus.

(Insect buzzes)

Hold out your hand.

There.

See, he's not afraid of you.

He won't do that for me.

Ask him to lead you
where the dead bodies are hidden,

and he'll lead you.

That fly is your magic wand.

You think it'll work?

With your gift.

It'll take a lifetime.

It could be anywhere.

Not anywhere.

On a 52-kilometre route.

The first girl to disappear
was a Danish tourist.

She took a bus on the Red Line.

It starts on the city square
on a 52-kilometre route,

calling at various tourist traps
on the way.

She was seen
getting on that bus.

When you get near
to the killer's house,

you'll know about it soon enough,
because the Sarcophagus will go crazy

and head straight
for the dead bodies.

All you have to do is follow it
and come straight back.

Do you feel up to it?

Yeah.

I want him caught.

For Sophie.

She was my friend.

And I want him caught for Greta.

I wish you all the luck
in the world.

My two detectives.

Wait! Wait! Please!

Thanks.

No! I was looking for someone!

You were looking for someone?
Come on, the house is empty.

No-one's lived here

since the former tenants
moved out eight months ago.

The house is for sale!

- I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
- Sure!

I didn't mean to cause any harm!

- Ugh!
- Hey!

Ah.

(Fly buzzes)

May I help you?

- Who are you?
- I'm the estate agent.

If you're looking for a house,
I'm your man.

- Anyone living in the house now?
- No.

By the way,
where did you come from?

- I didn't hear you drive up.
- I came from the back.

How long has the house
been empty?

I don't know.
Seven, eight months maybe.

- Who was living here before?
- I would have to check at the agency.

But we do not give out
that kind of information.

It's absolutely confidential
and against our company...

I'm Inspector Geiger.
Cantonal Police.

This damn machine!

What on earth
is going on round here?

Who's that?
Is there someone there?

Who is it?

Answer me!

Aaah!

Most of our patients
are kept under restraint.

Take my word for it, Inspector.

The person you're looking for
is not one of ours.

No-one's ever escaped from here.

Correct.

But I'm working from
the exact opposite assumption.

How can I explain?

It isn't as if someone
got out of your institution...

...but rather got in.

You have had such a case,
IbeHeve?

Yes, a curious incident.

It happened about 15 years ago

here on the lower basement level.

Since then, it's only been accessible
to members of the staff.

The further down one goes in this place,
the more monstrous the inmates become.

It's probably the same in hell.

Until you reach the last circle,
the one without a centre.

(Growls)

Shit, Morris! I'm telling you,
I won't stay here a minute longer.

I want to come home and I don't have
the money for a ticket.

No, I ran away from school.

'Cause they wanted to look me
in an institution!

What?

It's a long story.

Get me back to LA.
and I'll tell you all about it.

Which bank do you use in Zurich?

The S.K.A?
What does it stand for?

Hello.

Send me some money.
A telex in my name.

Do it, Morris!
I don't want to be murdered.

Yes, I said murder.

Someone here wants to kill me
and he's tried once already.

(Screeches)

I'm sorry. There's nothing here
in your name.

- Are you sure?
- I'm afraid so.

Maybe it just arrived and it hasn't come
through the computers yet.

I can check.

There's nothing. I'm sorry.

Now what am I supposed to do?
This is an emergency.

It could arrive at any time.

Look, why don't you
come back later?

Where can I go in the meantime?

- Can I wait here?
- Sure, you can wait over there.

But I suggest you go for a walk.

I'll wait.

Hello, Jennifer.

Your father's attorney Mr Shapiro
called us from New York.

He was very worried about you.

And extremely angry with us
for, let's say, losing you.

What a bastard.

He sounded very reasonable
on the phone.

He spoke to me
and only calmed down

when I told him I would
come for you myself.

He said I would find you here.

- I'm not going back to that school.
- Of course not.

He said you want to go back to America
immediately. Is that true?

- Yes.
- Well...

He authorised me to buy you a ticket
and give you some money.

Is that all right?

- OK.
- Good.

Good luck!

- What time is my flight?
- 12 noon tomorrow.

The last flight out today
has already left.

And what about tonight?

I'm not going to sleep at the school.

I'm not going back there.
I'm not gonna sleep there.

I never want to see
the place again.

Don't worry. If that's what you want,
it's all right.

Mr Shapiro said to do
whatever you wanted.

You can stay with me tonight.

It's enormous.
Do you live here alone?

No.

You'll sleep in here, Jennifer.

I hope you find it
comfortable enough.

Looks fine. Thank you.

Why are the mirrors
covered like that?

I told you, I don't live alone.
I have a small son.

He's very sick.

I cover the mirrors for his sake.

He doesn't want to see
his reflection.

I worry about him very much.
He's changed my life completely.

Sometimes I think
he's driving me crazy.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh.

These are things that can happen
in a woman's life.

But don't worry.
You won't see him.

- Oh, I don't mind if...
- No. It's better if you don't.

He stays in his room
with his crazy thoughts.

Would you like something?
A cup of tea?

- No, I don't want to bother you.
- It's no bother.

I'm sorry.
I kicked the train by mistake.

It hit him.

Maybe he's hurt.

"Hurt"?

Don't grab him like that!

Why not?
What on earth are you thinking?

This is my son?

It's only a doll.

You're a very sensitive young lady.

Are you frightened?

- No, no.
- Yes, you are.

I can see it in your eyes.

You're burning up.

- You have a fever.
- No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

In this part of the country,
with this wind,

it's hardly surprising.

I'll get you a pill.

You don't want to leave
with a cold tomorrow, do you?

Imagine what
Mr Shapiro would say.

You should take them both.
But if you prefer, one is enough.

I don't want any pills.

- May I use the bathroom?
- The bathroom is over there.

And you will take the pills.

Do as you're told.
You're my responsibility.

All right, I'll take the pills.

- I'll get you some water.
- I can get it myself.

Shit, get out of the way!

May I close the door?

(Lock clicks)

Jennifer, what are you doing?

- Jennifer, answer me!

Open the door!

I said what are you doing?

Answer me, Jennifer!
Open the door this instant!

(Knocking continues)

(Frau Bruckner) Open the door!

Answer me!
How dare you behave like this?

(Knocking continues)

(Frau Bruckner) Jennifer!

(Knocking continues)

(Bang)

- (Frau Bruckner) Let me in! Let me in!
- (Banging continues)

Why didn't you open the door?
What were you doing?

Did you take the pill?
What were you doing?

(Gasps)

(Vehicle pulls up outside)

(Jennifer) Help! Help!

(Muffled squeals inside)

(Wind whistles outside)

(Lock clicks)

15 years ago, when you were
still working in Basel...

...you were assaulted.

Surely you haven't
forgotten the incident?

No. Look at this.

Oh! He pulled me to him
through the bars.

There were bars between us.

I understand, Frau Bruckner.
Forgive me.

But we have to be precise.

So, you moved here eight months ago.
Is that correct?

Yes, that is so, Inspector.
Please come this way.

And where were you living
before that?

Outside Zurich.

Oh.

Oh.

- Mr Shapiro?
- Yes.
