02:12Are you going north of the border too?
02:14Only as far as Durham.
02:16Won't you join me?
02:17I have an empty compartment.
02:18Oh I'd be delighted to join you.
02:22It is a pleasant coincidence.
02:24I was actually expecting a companion but sadly he's Mr. Travers.
02:28Oh dear.
02:30Visits are vacant?
02:32Well one of them is possibly occupied but...
02:35Thank you very much.
02:39Good lord.
02:40He's here.
02:41Come along.
02:42Don't keep the whole crew waiting.
02:43It's all right old man.
02:44You've made it.
02:45The fellow hasn't blown his whistle yet.
02:46Not good for you there.
02:47Oh my goodness.
02:48I had to run all the way from the taxi cab rack.
02:49Quite safe.
02:50What delayed you?
02:51Late supper with Woolwich and St. Albans.
02:53Conversation got deep.

03:17Oh.
03:18Oh.
03:19I thought I was going to miss it.
03:21Durham expects me.
03:22Parfitt do you know Sir Campbell Clarke?
03:25Only by reputation.
03:26Then allow me Sir Campbell Clarke.
03:27Canon Parfitt.
03:28Canon Parfitt Sir Campbell Clarke.
03:29Oh yes.
03:30This is a very great honor for me sir.
03:32You've been causing quite a stir I believe.
03:34Only among the eggnogs sir.
03:36Eh, heh heh heh heh.
03:39So here we all are.
03:41Yes indeed.
03:43How present.
03:44I fancy we have a quarreiro.
03:47fancy we have a quorum don't you the law the church and the medical profession
03:52between us we could cover any ground pretty completely I fancy I wonder there
03:59is another point of view you know meaning a point of view of the man in
04:02the street ah the man in the street as usual the man in the street is dozing
04:08you're going all the way to Edinburgh tonight sir Campbell I can never wait to
04:12get back north of the border you just sorted south to sort us out you'll be
04:18referring to my lecture to the Royal Scientific Society yeah you were at it
04:22regrettably no Woolwich and St Albansworth you should have been there
04:26Duran I fancy it's more your line of country the church and science never did
04:31go hand in hand but you men of the law are more persuadable I doubt that sir
04:36Campbell the legal mind requires chapter and verse like the church we don't care
04:41for change it upsets us what was the gist of your lecture dual personality of
04:48course that's your latest hobby horse isn't it latest a lifetime's work are all
04:53surfaces of the mind rubbing together causing terrible illness my subject was a
04:59poor demented peasant girl French her name was Philly C bolt I've heard the name
05:04yes she became something of a celebrity perfect example of dual personality I was
05:10one of the doctors lucky enough to study her over several years extraordinary
05:15behavior pattern was quite baffling my talk tonight was the result of our
05:21findings which were oh you'd have to understand the whole case did you might you
05:31beg your partner sir we thought you were sleeping the man in the street who was
05:35always dozing huh who are you my name is Raoul Letardo I feel I've seen you
05:43somewhere before yes yes I was at your lecture sir Campbell ah you're a member of
05:47the Society but no I am a gentleman of the press oh yes I remember you expressed an
05:56opinion I did I hope it was a good one are we allowed to share it I simply asked the eminent
06:03doctor how it could possibly have happened that is a question not an opinion the
06:08opinion came later I said that all the doctors had been looking in the wrong
06:12direction the point of view of the man in the street and is our friend right I
06:17don't think so well you can't leave it there Campbell come on give us some facts oh
06:27very see bolt was a Britain peasant girl from the age of five she'd been brought up by a charitable
06:34maiden lady who ran a home for destitute children on the Brittany coast near dinner are these the kind of
06:40facts you wonder what happened to her she committed suicide no no before that and was it are you so sure
06:49was it suicide of that there come in no question I question it what else could it have been murder
06:59over to me in what way did this unfortunate woman meet her death she strangled herself
07:07strangled herself is that possible her hands were around her neck when she was found locked in the death
07:17grass as herself fairly see was a dull loutish girl stupid and slow-witted but in her 20s she suffered
07:33what we can only describe as a mental breakdown and it was after that that the other feeling she began
07:39to appear what's the second persona very different I couldn't so fairly see too as we termed it spoke
07:45several languages played the piano passably well sang danced and the most exquisite handwriting was
07:52beyond comprehension this other creature knew things that fairly couldn't possibly smell like a hoax I
07:59mean did she make money out of it no oh she got a certain amount of attention she might have enjoyed
08:04nothing more enjoy it she didn't want attention for years you doctors you experts you studied her you
08:14probed and prodded her and where were you sir that you know so much about it I knew fairly see very well
08:19oh and Annette who who you say who Annette Ravel the beautiful Annette when I was 14 my parents were killed in a
08:33train crash and I went to denial I lived at home you lived there oh yes it was a cold house with always a wind a narrow path led down to a beach and a road led to the village there were 20 of us
08:54children and the first one I saw was Phyllis he booked Mademoiselle came and met me off the train from
09:01Wren it was the first time I'd met her all the arrangements for my guardianship had been made for
09:07me by the authorities in Wren are you looking forward to your new home Raoul yes mademoiselle you must work hard so
09:15that you can be credit to us all yes mademoiselle are you quick and clever I don't know mademoiselle
09:21look Raoul here's one of your new sisters
09:32Felice come and say hello to your new brother
09:40she was plain and clumsy and incredibly strong I remember on that first day she took my suitcase
09:52stop that at once Felice
09:55Felice no it will be too heavy for you it's mine it's my case
10:02it was such an inconsequential little act and yet now it seems strangely typical of
10:12Felice part of her wanted to reach out and another part wants to reject the dual
10:20personality was manifest even then no no you're not understanding me they were
10:26separate then then who no no no let him tell his story yes do go on please we're all
10:33attention how strange
10:36what to you it's just a story
10:46oddly enough the three of us spent so much time together I never recall any of the
10:52other children just Felice and Annette and myself it was as though the two girls even
11:00then were drawn to each other by some mutual contempt and yes and envy Annette had everything
11:09to be envied but Felice had one thing that Annette longed for though I didn't realize at the time
11:15if she wants to play with me she must play the rules
11:25she's so big and strong like the oxen of the fields don't let her hurt me and so she
11:34was strong and healthy and Annette was not
11:50come here come here you big fat doll
11:55now kneel down and kiss my foot my beautiful dancer's foot kiss it Felice you know you want to
12:24I can make her do anything now I can I can she was that kind of a girl she sounds a thoroughly unpleasant one to me yes I
12:54yes I'm sure that's the way I make her sound and if you go by the bare facts then yes but Annette was so
13:00much more to begin with she was oh very beautiful and she became more so as she grew
13:06older delicate looks restless energy Felice didn't have to spend all her time with her
13:12but she was drawn to her
13:19are you all right my dear sir sir Campbell is he ill
13:24you should have helped her she needed you
13:30we helped Felice he bought all we were able to no no short of putting her in a straight jacket
13:36don't understand
13:42Annette Oravelle

21:13I love you, Annette. I love you.
21:15Oh!
21:21Don't pour me, girl. Keep your hands to yourself.
21:26C'è... what?
21:30Yesterday on the beach.
21:32That was yesterday!
21:34C'è un sospiro per il sì, ah, ah, c'è un sospiro per il no, oh, oh, altro per aver provato.
21:45was her slave, or her plaything, like Felicy.
21:50Yes, perhaps we were both her dolls.
21:53Sometimes she would favor me, often she would not.
21:58Usually I was wretched.
21:59But when she was kind, I knew such happiness.
22:04It was like that until the day I left that house.
22:07I never knew from one day to the next
22:09whether I was in favor or not.
22:11But with Felicy, oh, she was much less subtle.
22:15She despised her for her looks, her clumsiness,
22:19her dull, heavy ways.
22:21And yet she, Annette, was also drawn to Felicy.
22:25Why?
22:27Felicy's strength fascinated her, and her health.
22:31Annette's cough was getting worse, and I think perhaps she knew.
22:34She inherited her mother's consumption?
22:35Perhaps Mamsel realized it.
22:37I certainly did not.
22:38Besides, I had other matters to occupy my mind.
22:41It had been decided I should go to the military academy.
22:45Now, part of me dreaded this decision.
22:47Another part of me welcomed it.
22:49You see, I wanted to get away.
22:50I had to.
22:52My love for Annette was becoming a torch.
22:54And she, on the other hand, seemed less interested in me.
22:58Or perhaps she really did love me, but was too young to.
23:03It was the day of my departure.
23:06And I wanted to be alone with Annette.
23:10There was so much that I wanted to say.
23:13But she had become more and more aloof with me.
23:15While still wanting my company, she rejected my advances.
23:19It was a trick that she had seen performed on the halls in her youth.
23:26She said it was easy.
23:28But I didn't think it would work.
23:30Felicy.
23:31Felicy.
23:32She's pretending.
23:33You think so?
23:34I don't care.
23:35Well, let's go outside.
23:36I have to leave soon.
23:37Lucky you.
23:38God, I wish I could get away from here.
23:40Well, I will.
23:41Don't you worry.
23:42Just as soon as...
23:44Felicy.
23:45I'm going to whisper something in your ear.
23:47And you will do just what I tell you.
23:50Yes, Felicy.
23:51Just what I say.
24:15Felicy.
24:16Felicy.
24:17Felicy.
24:18Felicy, my doll.
24:19What are you doing?
24:20What are you doing, Felicy?
24:21What does it look like?
24:22Does it taste good?
24:23No.
24:24No.
24:25No.
24:26No.
24:27No.
24:28No.
24:29No.
24:30No.
24:31No.
24:32No.
24:33No.
24:34No.
24:35No.
24:36No.
24:37No.
24:38No.
24:39No.
24:40No.
24:41No.
24:42No.
24:43No.
24:44Do you like that?
24:45Does it taste good?
24:46Why, yes.
24:47It is the best bread that I have ever tasted.
24:53Stop it.
24:54Stop it, Unise.
24:56It's a human.
24:58Felicy.
25:01Felicy.
25:02Wake up.
25:03Wake up.
25:06What am I doing here?
25:11What am I doing here?
25:13What do you suppose?
25:17You were eating a candle.
25:19I made you do it.
25:21I can make you do anything.
25:23You're my big fat doll.
25:26You made me?
25:30Yes.
25:32I remember.
25:36You made me look...
25:38...ridiculous.
25:40I didn't have to try very hard.
25:42Annette.
25:44You're mine.
25:46I can make you do anything.
25:49One day, Annette.
25:51I'm going to kill you.
25:53You'll see.
25:55It was only a joke.
25:57Kill you.
25:58One day.
26:00I will.
26:02Innocence of the child is a divine gift.
26:04The very structure of the Bible relies upon...
26:06Oh, Marvin.
26:07Humbug, old boy, Humbug.
26:09The father I am.
26:10Little tykes.
26:11The lot of them give them half a chance.
26:13This girl was dragged up from the gutter.
26:15You heard what our friend says.
26:17Well, the gutter sticks, old boy.
26:19I know.
26:20Believe me.
26:21I know.
26:22Half my clients have a more than passing acquaintance.
26:25But children, Duran.
26:26Young children.
26:27I don't mind telling you.
26:28If you've been a Church of England home, none of it would have happened.
26:32Children are in a state of innocent grace.
26:34Fair as the salmon, Parfit.
26:36They were children.
26:37They were when they began.
26:39As far as I can understand it, this girl, Annette was behaving like...
26:42Well, I have to say it, a flirt.
26:45A harlot, even.
26:46From her pubescence.
26:47Oh.
26:48I'm sorry, but that's how it seemed to me.
26:50But a creature from the gutter, Parfit.
26:52What example had she to follow?
26:54She was her mother's daughter.
26:55Oh, that's how I see it.
26:56That does not excuse her in the eyes of the Lord.
26:59We're given our trials to prove ourselves.
27:01You are amused, sir?
27:03Yes, I'm sorry to show it.
27:05All in nonsense you experts make.
27:07You think so?
27:08Yes.
27:09For you, life must conform to your set patterns.
27:12But it doesn't, you know?
27:14I'm sorry to shake you out of your complacent corners,
27:17but out there in the world are an infinite number of imponderables.
27:21More things in heaven and earth, hmm?
27:24Will you begin to see?
27:26Perhaps.
27:27You will.
27:28That's why I followed you here.
27:31You must.
27:32Followed him?
27:33I need you to understand.
27:36To get it right.
27:38Is that really possible, old man?
27:44When next I caught up with Annette, the war was over.
27:48I was in Paris, I was in uniform, but I was about to leave the army.
27:54I was in Paris, I was in Paris, and I was about to leave the army.
27:59I'm in Paris, and I was about to leave the army soon.
28:04You are about to leave the army soon.
28:09Oh
28:39I'll go south, and then they won't have me here anymore.
29:09The Count, can you just in a minute?
29:11So, that'll teach them. I'll marry the Count.
29:17Hello, Honest.
29:18The public are not allowed backstage.
29:21But don't you recognise me? It's me.
29:24Well...
29:25At first, I thought she was going to refuse to see me,
29:30and I knew well enough why.
29:32The theatre she was playing in was not the palace of entertainment
29:35she had promised herself.
29:36Well, it was a low dive,
29:39where the shape of her body mattered more than her voice.
29:43But then...
29:44Raoul, you can come now.
29:53Raoul.
29:53I didn't recognise you.
29:57So handsome in your uniform.
30:00Have you been fighting for us, brave Raoul?
30:03It's not so brave, really.
30:05It wasn't the best time to join the army.
30:07Hmm.
30:09Are you going to stand in the doorway?
30:11I might catch a cold from the draft.
30:13Oh, I'm sorry.
30:13Oh, I beg your pardon.
30:20Oh, Brauboff, this is a boy from that ghastly home I told you about.
30:25Are you surprised to find me here, dear Raoul?
30:27Oh, only a temporary engagement.
30:30The Olympia wants me.
30:32But we cannot agree the contract.
30:34Did I tell you that, Brauboff?
30:36Yes, my dear, every other day.
30:38Don't you think you should introduce us?
30:42Oh?
30:42This is the Count Brovoski.
30:44He's Russian, or so he says.
30:47This is Raoul.
30:49Perhaps she couldn't remember my family name.
30:54I complimented her on her success.
30:57I felt stupid and tongue-tied in her presence.
31:00I wanted him to go away so that I could talk to her.
31:03All the time she kept up a flow of chatter.
31:06At one moment she disappeared behind a screen,
31:09and I was left alone with the Count.
31:15A divine creature.
31:18I beg your pardon?
31:19Anya, divine.
31:21In every way.
31:25Hari, Anushka.
31:26I'm hungry.
31:27I'm coming.
31:28Give a working girl a chance.
31:30Oh, but I do, I do.
31:31Every chance.
31:34Run along, soldier boy.
31:36You're out of your depth.
31:38Voila.
31:39Bravo.
31:40I will do.
31:41Very well.
31:43This is how he is all the time.
31:45Full of passion.
31:47Oh, these Russians.
31:51Annette.
31:52Hmm?
31:52I thought we might dine this evening.
31:54Oh, that would be lovely.
31:58But tonight...
31:59Run along, soldier boy.
32:04Annette.
32:05You see how famous I've become?
32:06I told you so.
32:08Have you seen Felicity and Mademoiselle?
32:10That old hag.
32:12No thanks.
32:14I shall never set foot in beastly Brittany again.
32:17Shall I, Boris?
32:19What is it?
32:20What is it?
32:21A trinket.
32:22Show me.
32:22Oh, Boris.
32:27Oh.
32:28You see?
32:30I've arrived.
32:31I told you I would.
32:33All the world is before me.
32:37Oh.
32:38You are cold.
32:39Then we must make you warm.
32:41How far are you going, sir?
32:59As far as is necessary.
33:01For what?
33:01To make you understand.
33:04It is only your version.
33:07Yes, wait.
33:09Two years later,
33:10I was working in Lille on a newspaper.
33:12Ah, only as an office boy.
33:14And I got a letter from Mademoiselle.
33:16I was to come home quickly to Denial.
33:19Annette was there.
33:31What did the doctors say?
33:41They say they cannot save her.
33:45The consumption has ravaged the lungs.
33:48Oh, well, she was our brightest hope, you know.
33:52She went to Paris to study at the Conservatoire.
33:57Yes, it...
33:58It's out.
34:01How long will it take?
34:05You don't know.
34:08Not much longer.
34:11That's why I sent for you.
34:13I felt always that you two were...
34:16Yes.
34:18Oh, brah.
34:21Where's Felicity?
34:23She attends her day and night.
34:26Oh, dumb creature.
34:27She worships Annette, you know.
34:28I suppose Annette is all the things poor Felicity ever wanted to be.
34:35It is odd how people see only what they want to see.
34:38I'm glad that you came.
34:45You know what they say?
34:48That I will not get well.
34:51They say it behind my back.
34:55To my face, they are soothing.
34:58Like talking to a baby.
34:59I will not permit myself to die.
35:13Mother did because she was weak.
35:16And I won't.
35:19I won't.
35:20You hear me?
35:22With beautiful life stretching before me.
35:28It is the will to live that matters.
35:33All the best doctors say so.
35:34I am not one of the feeble ones to let go.
35:41I already feel better.
35:43Infinitely better.
35:44I will live.
36:02I will.
36:04I will.
36:04You see her, Raoul?
36:31This is how she always is.
36:34She's glad I'm going to die.
36:37She's well and strong.
36:40Never a day's illness in her life.
36:43Bitch.
36:45Bitch.
36:47And all for what?
36:49What good is that great carcass of hers to her?
36:54What could she make of it?
36:55I don't mind what she says, Monsieur Raoul.
37:02Soon she will be dead.
37:04And we will be alive.
37:06You and I, Monsieur Raoul.
37:08She'll be dead.
37:10She'll be knowing the fires of purgatory.
37:13I'm a good girl.
37:15I'm respectable.
37:16I'm a Christian.
37:19She'll be dead.
37:21But I'm healthy and strong.
37:23You hate me.
37:25You've always hated me.
37:27Because I am beautiful.
37:31You hate me.
37:33But I can charm you all the same.
37:38I can possess you, Felicity Bolt.
37:44Remember the candle, Raoul.
37:47Remember...
37:48Sina, if I was to ask you,
37:55you would get down on your knees before me.
38:03Carcass.
38:05Big, fat doll.
38:08You're absurd.
38:11You're dying.
38:13But yes.
38:15You will do it.
38:17To please me.
38:20Down.
38:22On your knees.
38:25For Annette.
38:28Please, Felicity.
38:30I ask you.
38:32You may get up now, Felicity.
38:59It's no use scowling.
39:04I am your mistress.
39:09I own you.
39:16You're going to die.
39:19I'm going to live.
39:22You'll see about that.
39:23I was not there when she died.
39:31Apparently, it had been a fearful death.
39:34Mademoiselle said she had fought against it like a mad woman.
39:37I will not die, do you hear me?
39:39I will not die.
39:40I will live.
39:41I will live.
39:44But even she could not cheat death.
39:47And so it was over.
39:49Annette Ravel was no longer with us.
39:51Or so it seemed.
39:55Six months later, I was called to the home.
39:59I was called to the home.
39:59Telly Seabolt, she's so changed.
40:26After Puranette left us, it was a total collapse.
40:33Perhaps in the grief she took to her bed, was restless, crying out in the night.
40:39Almost as though she had a fever.
40:42She's better now?
40:44Better?
40:46Sometimes she is as she used to be and then quite suddenly so changed.
40:51How?
40:52Like a different person.
40:55Do you know, she even plays the piano.
40:58Is that the scene?
41:00Sometimes.
41:01Only sometimes when she's different.
41:04She even sings well.
41:07She's a girl.
41:08She's a girl.
41:09She's a girl.
41:10She's a girl.
41:11She's a girl.
41:12She's a girl.
41:13She's a girl.
41:14She's a girl.
41:15She was a girl.
41:17She's a girl.
41:19Well why?
41:20Dear, dear Raúl, don't look so surprised.
41:45No, I refuse to listen to any more of this ridiculous nonsense.
41:53It goes against a very structured my belief.
41:55Why are you so making the whole thing up or the admitting dupe of an evil hoax?
42:00It is what we doctors, when we were finally summoned, observed.
42:04Then you also a fool. You doctors, what do you know?
42:07It is clear to me it was a hoax.
42:10Felice had been studying Annette for years. You said so yourself.
42:14Now, with her out of the way, Felice was able to have a moment of attention, her moment of glory.
42:20Up till then, the wretched Annette had always stolen it from her.
42:24You should have had a lawyer on the case. We'd soon have sniffed out the line.
42:29We did have. Maître Cambellier, most eminent man of his day.
42:35I simply refuse to believe it.
42:37What do you think I'm asking you to believe?
42:39That this girl's spirit could take over Felice's body. He could share it.
42:43Preposterous nonsense.
42:45Sir Campbell, you simply cannot believe it.
42:48Belief?
42:50I've always found belief a tricky one.
42:53Why not sit by and accept the evidence of the man in the street?
42:58Spirit after death is called to God.
43:00Spirit?
43:01What exactly do you mean by that?
43:03I've always found you a bit vague, you church chaps, when talking about spirit.
43:08God is a spirit, and a day that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
43:12Number of children.
43:14We must protest, Sir Campbell.
43:16St. John, 4, 24.
43:18Yes, yes, yes, Parfid, but what does it mean?
43:20What is spirit? What is life?
43:23I confess, I don't know.
43:25I, a doctor, am forced to admit that I haven't an inkling what life is, or where it goes at death.
43:32The church is very clear about it.
43:33The church is not clear, Parfid.
43:35The church seeks to possess its flock just like the girl Annette.
43:39Down on your knees, you say.
43:41Believe whatever we tell you.
43:42Well, I'm asking you, Parfid.
43:44What is life, hmm?
43:46What is it? Where does it go?
43:50You see how we experts bicker, my dear sir,
43:53when what we should do is just listen.
43:56I don't think you'd finished your story.
43:58Oh, no.
44:00I ran away.
44:02I couldn't help myself.
44:04But I didn't stay away.
44:06I went back several times over the year.
44:08And I saw Felicie.
44:11Gradually.
44:13Play something for me, Felicie.
44:25Don't mock me, Monsieur Raoul.
44:27I cannot play.
44:29But you can, Felicie.
44:30I've heard you.
44:31Don't mock me, please, Monsieur.
44:34People...
44:36People...
44:37People play tricks on me here.
44:40Such tricks.
44:42What tricks?
44:43They put the clocks forward.
44:45Days disappear.
44:47It's her.
44:51Isn't it?
44:52That bitch.
44:54She's still...
44:56Help me, Monsieur Raoul.
45:02Help me.
45:04Help me.
45:05Dear, dear Raoul.
45:19It's so good to be healthy.
45:21To be strong.
45:22Non essere tanto stupito, carissimo Rao.
45:26Amico mio.
45:28Kiss me, Raoul.
45:30Uno baccio, mio caro.
45:32Felicie.
45:33What?
45:34You're speaking Italian.
45:35Of course.
45:36I'm not as stupid as I look.
45:38And how do you look, Felicie?
45:40Come with me.
45:41Come.
45:42How do you look?
45:44Why?
45:45What it looks.
45:47I'm strong.
45:48And I'm a very fine actress.
45:50And I can play many parts.
45:52And play them very well.
45:54Kiss me, Raoul.
45:57You know that you want him.
46:00You know that you want him.
46:02You know that you want him.
46:04You know that you want him.
46:06You know that you want him.
46:08You know that you do.
46:20We must do something.
46:22I know that.
46:23But it has nothing to do with poor Annette.
46:25She was such a refined girl.
46:27So sweet and gentle.
46:29Poor Annette.
46:31Felicie needs your help.
46:33She needs you.
46:38She needs you.
46:55Felicie.
46:58Are you alright?
46:59Of course.
47:01Raoul is leaving.
47:02Say goodbye to him.
47:03I'll pack you some food for the journey.
47:06Don't worry.
47:07I will look after her.
47:11I will contact the doctor if you think that is best.
47:13You must.
47:22Goodbye Felicie.
47:24Monsieur Raoul.
47:25Yes Felicie?
47:27It is her doing.
47:30Who's doing?
47:31That bitch.
47:34When she lived she always tormented me.
47:37And now that she's dead.
47:40She's bad.
47:41That one.
47:43She's bad I tell you.
47:45She would take the bread from your mouth.
47:48The clothes from your back.
47:50The soul from your body.
47:52Oh dear God.
47:53Sometimes I hear her voice.
47:57Not in my ear.
47:59Not in my ear.
48:01Inside my head.
48:05She will drive me away.
48:08She will drive me away.
48:10All together.
48:12And then what shall I do?
48:14What will become of me?
48:16Where will I be then?
48:23If it should come to it Monsieur Raoul.
48:28I am very strong.
48:32With my hands.
48:34Far stronger than she can ever be.
48:37Very strong.
48:40She will not survive me.
48:44That was the last time I ever saw Felicie Bolt.
48:50I came to London.
48:52I started working in Fleet Street.
48:54And I tried to put the whole story out of my mind.
48:57And then tonight.
48:59All these years later.
49:01I attend a lecture for my newspaper.
49:03Given by the famous doctor Sir Campbell Clarke.
49:06And he is speaking about the case of Felicie Bolt.
49:09And I have to tell him.
49:12For all our sakes.
49:16I don't believe it.
49:18The clothes from my back.
49:20The soul from my body.
49:25I won't believe it.
49:27I don't.
49:29Did Felicie strangle herself?
49:31Or...
49:33I tell you.
49:35The history of Felicie Bolt.
49:38Is the history of Annette Ravel.
49:41You did not know her gentlemen.
49:43I did.
49:45She was very fond of life.
49:47I promise you.
49:49I know.
49:50I know.
49:51I know.
49:52I know.
49:54I know.
49:58Where does the life go, you ask?
50:01If this is only the residence for life.
50:05What do you do if you find a burglar in your house?
50:08You get rid of him, don't you?
50:10Perhaps you even...
50:13kill him.
50:14I'm calling two for the night train to Edinburgh.
50:25Dear God.
50:26There is a heart's soul.
50:28There is a heart's soul.
50:30But yes, there is a heart's soul.
50:33You're the spirit of death.
50:34You're the spirit of death.
50:36That's what you have to say.
50:38Is there a heart's soul?
50:40To be whose death is holding on?
50:43What do you think?
50:44You need a heart's soul?
50:46To be who is the soul?
50:48To be who is the soul?
50:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
51:19Oh, oh, oh.
