Beyond the Hills Page #10

Alina you were so calm until now, why do you do this?

You just want to annoy us?

Sister, go now into the church and pray.

Sister! You go now!

You don't let yourselves be impressed!

It's the Evil One who shouts through her mouth.

But the Evil One, where does he

go when he gets out of a person?

This nobody could know.

Anyway, he goes where he finds a weakness.

There he makes a nest.

Please, read to her so we can finish this up.

Calm down, Alina, come on...

# God of Gods and Lord of Lords.

# Make that this curse, that is made in

Your name, the Fierce One,

# let it terrify this cunning adviser

# I curse you, the beginner of all Evil

# master of animosity and weaver of intrigues

# get out and go away from God's creature Alina!

# Be afraid! Run away! Stay away,

Devil, Sheitan, Unclean Terror!

# The One under the ground...

She must have such a big sin

that she pays off right now...

Poor girl...

I so pity her!

Where's Alina?

The priest told us to get her into the

holy water room as we clean here.

Isn't it cold in there?

It's warmer than here,

we made the fire.

- Wait a moment.

- What?

Mommy and the priest,

they suspect something...

What do you mean?

They see you so doubtful,

agitated, and they worry for you.

Why would they worry?

I don't know, I just told you.

But think about it well.

Mother, wait a moment.

I also spoke to Mother Superior...

And we decided it's better if you don't

come to the liturgy when we read to her.

Why, priest?

It seems you're not strong enough for this trial.

The Enemy is very aggressive right now.

And hits those ones

where he feels a weakness.

So better you go to the door and tell us

when people start coming to the divine service.

Come on, go.

- God bless.

- God bless, Mother.

Do you know a piece of

land for sale around here?

Beyond the hills, that way.

Thank you.

All the best!

Leave, Alina.

Sister!

Sister!

Come quick, she's up.

- What happened?

- Alina has recovered, she's well.

Thank God!

She knows us, she's quiet...

Come quick, she calls for you.

And bring some water too.

I'll go fetch Mother Superior.

You go find the priest.

Where's Alina?

They went inside the church with her.

She doesn't want water,

I already gave her some.

- How is she?

- She's fine, Father, she's calm.

Thank Heavens...

Are you well, Alina?

Shall we go?

It'll be fine now.

- O, God...

- Lay her down!

Let her get some air.

Untie this.

She's sick, Mother,

listen to her heart.

She passed out...

- Let's call the ambulance.

- Who spoke to her this morning?

- Mother Pahonia, and she

told her to call Voichita.

Give me that water.

Hold this.

She's breathing.

- Do you know if she has diabetes?

- No, priest.

Might be just a calcium fall.

Go quick to Mr. Valerica,

tell him to call the ambulance.

And wash her a little, change her,

we can't keep her like this.

- Good day.

- Good day.

- Where is she?

- Inside the church.

- What happened?

- She passed out now, in the morning.

Let me pass.

- God, she's so young... When did she pass out?

- Now, this morning.

What is this?

She was a little agitated

and she injured herself.

And the mouth?

- She didn't drink too much water, doctor.

- She was Black Fasting.

- That's not from the fasting.

- Listen, who's the last one who spoke with this girl?

Mother Pahonia spoke

with her this morning.

She said she was thirsty

and I gave her some tea.

Quiet, please.

It's around 3, doctor.

You won't give her anything?

We'll do something in the car.

Doctor, there will be trouble

if we take her in this state.

God, just do something!

What do you want us to do?

Please, let's take her to the hospital!

Let's take her, quick!

Turn the car around.

Come on, help me take her.

Take care of the head!

Easy.

Prepare adrenalin.

Give me her ID, ok?

Make way...

Move aside!

The end of the hall.

Careful at the door.

Wait in the other room.

- What did you give her? - Adrenalin.

- How much?

- Five ampules.

- Why did you give her so much adrenalin?

- The vital signs were very low, so we thought we should try.

What did you want to try,

don't you see this girl is dead?

God forbid, she's so young, doctor,

we thought maybe you could help her here.

What do you expect me to do, woman,

to wake her up from the dead, or what?

I thought, who knows, maybe she still has a chance.

You thought... Doctor, if you can't handle

the situation, ask for help, now the hospital has to account for this.

- I told you we're in trouble...

- You wait outside.

Did you see the bite of this girl?

You want to try and open her mouth?

- What are you talking about, this girl is dead for...

- But at the convent they told me they spoke to her this morning.

Really? Will you come here?

What's up with this girl?

What did you do to her?

We didn't do anything, what do you mean?

Why is she dead then?

God forbid, madam, believe me, she was still

alive when they took her from the convent.

See what you did?

I took her just for you to see

we did everything possible, but...

She was alive, she spoke

to us in the morning!

What do you mean

she spoke, woman...

Why did you give her so many

injections on the way if she was already dead?

You see?

Now it's your fault!

What's this? What are these marks

on her wrists? What did you do to her?!

She had some crisis from

time to time, she was agitated.

Why didn't you bring her to

the hospital if she had crisis?

We did bring her to the

hospital, to Dr. Solovastru.

...and he said we'd better

take care of her at the convent.

...And you took care of her...

God, doctor, do you think

anybody wished her ill?

Why did she die then, 'cause nobody dies of natural causes

at this age. Don't you see how this girl looks, woman?!

- She was tied up.

- You tied her up?!

She was harming herself, madam,

she wanted to burn herself down.

...so you tied her up...

Here at the hospital they tied her up too!

She was very violent, you know...

She was violent and

you were very gentle...

You will rot in prison, listen up!

This is called "homicide", what you did.

You're just murderers.

We just wanted all the best for this girl.

You wanted all the best?

I see how you did that.

I'll tell everybody.

Police, press, everybody.

God forbid anybody gets into your hands...

And in your hands too, doctor, if you don't mind...

Go into the other room, be quick!

Sit and fill the form in, come on.

Write this:

"I found the patient deceased"

"With rigidity already onset,"

"with wounds at wrists and ankles

as a consequence of being tied up"

- You wrote it?

- Yes.

"Burnt lips, impossible to move the lower jaw,"

Don't pray for me, you got it?

Better I burn in Hell than have you praying for me.

Do I sign it, doctor?

Magda?

How am I?

Not so well.

No, Matei is well.

He has an appointment for 16:15.

I'll beep you when I'm downstairs.

No, don't buy him anything, please,
