Beyond the Hills Page #3

Alina, I spoke to the priest

and if I go, there's no way back for me.

- What?

- That's what he said.

So what?

What do you mean

"so what", Alina?

Voichita, didn't we decide that we stay together

from now on, no matter what? Why would you come back?

- We decided that, Alina, but not to go on a boat.

- And where should we go?

Alina, I chose a path, I can't just go

out the door and forget about it.

What's that path?

A path never to be alone again.

You'll be with me.

I will...

Alina, if you don't have God in your soul, you can have

all the world beside you, but you'll still be alone.

What are you talking

about, Voichita?!...

You're all I have and I don't

need anybody else in the world.

That's not good, Alina. People come and go.

God is the only one who's near you forever.

You think it was easy for me when you went away?

VERY hard it was, not just hard.

...But God helped me and I found

comfort here... mommy, daddy....

Voichita, you said that I'm your family,

and now I need you, to help me.

I'm really going crazy all alone there.

I helped you too in the orphanage.

And I didn't help you?

Voichita, do you still love me?

I love you, but not like before.

But how?

I don't know.

Different.

How different?

Why different?

Because I am different now, Alina.

- I have somebody else in my soul now.

- Who?

Who else do you have in

your soul except me?

Voichita, what happened to you?

People change, Alina.

The one who goes and the one

who returns, are not the same person.

Voichita, do you love this priest?

- What are you asking?

- Do you f*** him?

Tell me, is this it?

...Or what did he tell you that

he screwed you up like that?

I pity you, Alina, that

you don't understand,

but I don't know how to help you.

You have to help yourself, Voichita.

Yourself.

Unpack my things, please.

Come, Ursu.

# Jesus's body...

The Holy Communion

of your creature Elisaveta

with the blood of Holy

and honest St. Peter

and our God

and savior Jesus Christ

forgive her sins,

and give her eternal life...

What's wrong, Alina?

Anything funny

in what we do here?

You came for

the holy communion?

No... I'm dirty...

What?

She's in those days, priest.

Then please, wait outside.

- You're throwing me out of church?

- Alina... - What?

God is everyone's, not only yours!

Alina, if you're tormented,

please, go out and calm down.

And I'll come to talk

to you in a moment.

Go close the door.

What's with her?

She's tormented daddy,

but she'll be fine.

Sister, I wonder if she told me everything

in the confession... or not...

I don't know, daddy.

Mother, go see what you can do. Give her a glass

of water and talk to her, I think it's from the confession.

Come quickly, she wants

to throw herself in the well!

She hit her head on the

well and then she leaned over it.

Alina... Get back from the well...

Come on, get off there.

God forbid, what's wrong with her...

- Alina!

- Leave me alone!

Alina, get out of there, come on, let's talk, maybe

you forgot to tell me something in the confession. Did you?

Come on, Alina, if you speak

you'll see it'll pass.

OK, Alina, calm down.

Leave me alone!

Hold her down.

Ok, ok, ok...

Calm down.

God forbid... What's with her?!

Daddy, I don't know what came over her.

Let's take her into the cell.

You calmed down?

Give her some slippers.

You're ok, Mother?

My glasses?

Do you know, maybe she has

a bigger sin not confessed?...

Alina, did you tell him

about masturbation?

- Oh, my God...

- I'll kill you!

Bring me the rope

from the bell, quick!

We have to get her to the hospital,

so Mr. Valerica can see her.

Go call the ambulance!

Hello? Madam, please, send a car, we have

an emergency here, a girl that feels very bad.

She can't breath and she's very agitated.

Ringhis Alina.

Sminghelschi Voichita.

The girl with the problem is Ringhis.

Sminghelschi!

Yes, exactly.

The convent on Dealu Nou.

Yes, madam, this is the address,

The convent on Dealu Nou.

We can't bring her there, we're a convent,

we don't have the means.

What?

Tie her up better on the ankles.

Tie her up.

They said we can pray for her,

'cause they don't have a car to send.

Antonia, you speak, maybe you...

Hello?

Madam, I was a nurse and I tell you,

this girl has to be seen by a doctor!

No way, madam, we can't

give her injections here!

Yes, she has spasms, like epilepsy.

Yes, and she is also bleeding,

she hit herself.

Priest, what's up?

For God's sake, what happened?

We have to take her to the

hospital, she's in bad shape.

They say there's no available car right now,

that we should call later.

Priest, let's take her there ourselves,

if we wait for them she'll die on her feet.

Let's do it then, help me take her.

Come on, we'll go to the hospital.

- Gina! Gina!

- Yes.

Ask the doctor to

come down please.

- Who spoke to the doctor?

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

- Tell me please.

There's somebody very agitated,

they turn them back to psychiatry.

- Where is she?

- In the car.

- Bring her here.

- They say she's violent.

Bring the stretcher.

Come for a moment.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

- What happened?

- Madam, we came with a girl, she's

very agitated, she almost died.

- Where is she?

- They're bringing her.

- Who tied her up like that?!

- We had to, she wanted to throw herself into the well.

- And the mouth?

- She bit us, spat, cursed...

- How old is she?

Pity on her, poor girl!

Take care doctor, she hit all of us.

- What's up with her?

- She started all of a sudden.

She said she saw I don't know who...

She cries and then she laughs...

Ok, make some space for her in the ward, ask

Sanda to prepare a Haloperidol with Diazepam to give her now.

Come on, calm down...

God, she's strong this girl!

May we can untie her now?

Leave her a little longer, so she calms down.

She's fifteen, poor girl.

Jumped out of the window

because she missed her period.

God forgive her...

- Gina, do you have my phone?

- I put it to recharge.

- Come after that to write her file.

- Yes, madam.

Will you please come

to give me the data?

Go give them the data.

Why did you bring her here...

Better to keep her at the convent, to pray for her.

At the orphanage they

didn't get you to church?

They did once, at Pasarea Monastery.

Other than that.. no.

We went Sundays if we wanted.

She went too?

She went, but not that often.

Who knows what hidden sins

she has that she has to pay for...

You should know that she has a cleaner soul than

a lot of girls that spend most of the time in church.

- Didn't you tell us that the boys took the girls by force?

- Yes, but not Alina. She beat them up.

Nobody put her down. That's

why she learned karate.

She beat you up too?

She protected me.

- What did she ask from you for this?

- What could she ask?

We were friends and that's it.

...She's so tormented...

I had a neighbor back home... One night she woke up...
