Martyrs Page #2
Don't you think I'm not thinking about
all the things that I've been missing out on ?
No, mom, that's not it.
- What is it then ?
I wanted to speak you, that's all.
I wasn't thinking.
Like that. On a day
you decide you're missing your mother.
Are you doing fine, you got not problems ?
- No.
Are you sure ? Where are you ?
Far away.
Where do you sleep ? How do you make a living ?
It's okay, mom.
- Are you still with her ? Is she influencing you ?
No.
My God ! You're still with her.
It's still the same.
- Mom...
Anna, she's worthless, she's a slut.
She's worth less than nothing.
Don't stay with her.
Anna ?
Don't move.
I can't take care of you.
Don't be afraid..
Calm down.
Calm down.
Rest.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Stop !
Who's the girl on the couch ?
Who is it ?
Lucie...
Lucie who ?
- Lucie Jurin.
And you ?
And ?
Anna Assaoui.
We're trying to reach the Belfonds for hours.
The phone's been busy.
The phone's off the hook.
-That should not be happening.
Can you tell me what's happening here ?
What are you doing here ?
Lucie Jurin escaped 15 years ago,
isn't it?
Isn't it ?
Yes.
It was a time
in which we were less organised.
Gabrielle shouldn't have let
it happen. The girl found her.
After 15 years.
That's shows a lot of persistance.
But in the end
Lucie is a victim.
Like all the others.
It's easy to create
a victim. Very easy.
Lock someone up in a dark place.
He starts to suffer.
Feed that suffering.
Methodically, systematic.
And cold. And keep it going.
The subjects goes through
different stages.
After a while the trauma,
that little crack
that happens so easily,
make it see things that aren't there.
What did poor Lucie see ?
Didn't she see things ?
Not even monsters?
Things that wanted to hurt her ?
A dead girl.
There you go.
A dead girl.
The girl you found. Sarah Dutreuil.
She saw insects. Cockroaches, everywhere.
They we're crawling over her. She had rather
chopped off her arm then to go through that.
People don't want to suffer anymore.
The world has come to a point
that there are only victims left.
Martyrs are rare.
A martyr, that's something else...
A martyrs is
an exceptional being.
It survives suffering,
the lacking of everything.
We burden it with
all the evil of the world,
and he transcends himself.
Do you understand that ?
He changes shapes..
Longsheng, 1912.
That women doesn't believe in God.
And she pays a high price.
On the moment the picture was taken,
she's still alive. Look at her eyes.
Jouans-Lussac, 1945.
That woman is a grocer.
She slept with a German.
Back then the French were sensitive.
She had to pay.
She's still alive. Look at her eyes.
Central Hospital of Birmingham, 1960.
The atheistic housekeeper
without a story
was terminally ill
and the morphine had no effect anymore.
Look at her eyes.
This one was beaten up by her husband.
Jealousy...
This one just spent 9 hours
in the wreckage of her car.
is dying. The pains gnawing.
This woman has a rare disease.
She suffered for nine hours.
Look at their eyes. Look.
All of them. Do you hear me ?
They were all alive
when these pictures were taken.
So tell me again
that the idea of a martyr
is an invention of
We've tried everything.
Even children.
It's proven that women
are more sensitive for
a transformation.
Young women.
It is that way.
Anna ?
Are you there ?
I'm here.
Anna ?
-Yes, Lucie.
Sometimes I'm afraid.
Not like me.
I didn't go through what you the same things.
What do you have to do
I think you have to let yourself go.
Do you think so ?
Let oneself go.
If I can't do it,
will you be there for me ?
Yes.
I miss you.
You're not afraid anymore, Anna.
You're not afraid anymore, Anna.
You're not afraid anymore.
It will be okay, Anna.
It will be okay.
There's one stage left.
The last one.
It will be okay.
You don't have to defend yourself anymore.
It's okay, Anna.
Is she persevering ?
It's amazing.
Michel !
-What is it ?
Now. I went to feed her.
A few minutes ago.
Are you sure ?
-Like I said,
I never saw an expression like that.
She's liberated. Completely liberated.
Here face is like ...
Miss, her eyes ...
She doesn't she
But is she still ...
-She's still alive.
Did you see it ?
Yesterday, in the afternoon,
around 12.15,
Anna Assaoui was martyred.
I ask you with the utmost respect
to think of her.
Anna Assaoui
is an exceptional being.
In the 17 years
of trying
she's only the fourth
to reach this stage.
And the first, yes, the first...
to make notion
of what she has seen.
Between 12.15 en 14.30
miss Assaoui has clearly
You heard well.
Her extatic state
lasted for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
It was not a near
death experience.
What she experienced,
was an authentic martyrdom.
At 14.30 she left that state.
And at 15.05 she spoke.
At this moment she is still alive.
But she isn't talking anymore.
Miss heard her testimony.
That testimony, my dear friends,
will be shared in a few moments.
Miss,
they are waiting.
I'm coming, Etienne.
Off course.
Was it clear ?
Very clear.
And precise ?
There as no room
for interpretation, Etienne.
Thank you, Miss.
Etienne ?
Miss?
Could you imagine
Are you okay ?
Could you ?
- No, I...
Keep doubting, Etienne.
