Pact of Silence Page #2

---

It's not in her file.

Mother Emmanuelle removed it.

To protect her.

She was crazy about the girl.

Protect her from what?

Look, I think it's time for my nap.

I swore not to tell anyone.

On the Bible, too.

Okay, all I know is...

that it was about a murder.

A murder so terrible...

that Sarah's sister

went to prison at 1 4. For life!

What murder?

Look in that drawer.

The drawer over there.

Screel deen.

You b*tch!

C*nt!

I'll show you! Come here!

I'll kill you!

So you killed a kid.

get up!

You never cry.

What?

Ten years inside, and not a tear.

Even when they broke

your collarbone or burned your hands.

You read up on me. I'm flattered.

Still having nightmares?

Describe them.

It's in the file.

Tell me, anyway.

Aren't you sick of hearing the same sh*t?

I'm sick of saying it.

Do you at least regret it?

What?

All of it.

I should note that answer.

-I didn't answer.

-Precisely.

See this red pen?

One mark and you stay

for another five years.

Is that what you want?

Sometimes I think you don't want to get out.

Search for LENNECK

Searching...

[File not found]

[Try a different spelling]

Twins?

Yes, now that you mention it.

Isn't nature strange?

I forgot to tell you...

the other day.

What?

She gave it to me.

What did she give you?

Her secret book.

Can you read it to me?

No, it's in their language.

A foreign language?

Their own ''twin language.''

But isn't there a drawing...

an address, a name?

Nothing.

Oh, yes, I see her name.

Sarah Le Belleck.

Sarah Le Belleck?

She was signed in

to the convent as Lenneck.

Are you a preacher? I mean, a priest?

Yes, why?

Four years in this hole,

you're the first I've seen.

-Have fun.

-Thanks.

JUDICIAL:

LE BELLECK CASE.

a demon?

SUFFOCATED:

Babysitter killer gets life

What's this to you?

You the kid's confessor?

I say ''kid,'' but she must be, what,

Do you know her?

No.

Any new developments?

You're not very talkative.

I understand.

Father...

call if I can help with the Le Belleck case.

The newsroom's up there. My little paradise.

A good scoop and I go to heaven.

Show some charity, Father.

give that to the man outside.

-But Mother....

-This is all your fault. give it to him.

Gaelle Le Belleck gets out at noon.

So who are you again?

Are you the family's confessor?

No, her sister Sarah's.

-Shall I let Gaelle know?

-I'd rather you didn't.

Fine. Be here at noon.

Twins

Dialogue in utero

Identical twins share

So it's difficult for people to understand...

that they're two individuals.

Two souls.

If you like, but I'm an atheist.

It's a classic case of symmetry.

One of those things

that embarrass the academy and myself.

I'm a rationalist, so I like clear explanations.

There isn't any for symmetry.

One twin can be sick, but the other

displays the symptoms...

often miles away.

You mean it may not be the nun who's sick?

Yes, but both may be in danger.

The one with the symptoms might die.

It happens.

Those New Agers love it.

Those who believe

in the brain's occult powers, telepathy...

talking plants, that trendy stuff.

You understand Latin?

We got a divine message for you.

Forget Le Belleck.

""Ad seculum seculorum. ""

Screw up and you'll be back here.

Forever.

Never forget that.

When did she get out?

An hour ago.

The State is more punctual

than the Church, apparently.

Where did she go?

I can't divulge that kind of information,

even to a priest.

I have to find her.

Aren't you going too far, Father?

No.

I don't think so.

She has a job interview tomorrow.

I expected you tonight.

Come in. They're harmless.

I breed dogs.

It helps make ends meet.

Where's Mama?

Come in.

Mama.

My little girl.

They let you out.

Sit down.

You must be starving.

It's such a long journey.

I know Brazil as if I'd been there.

I read up on it.

But the flight...

was too expensive.

You don't wear a veil in town?

Mama.

It's gaelle.

Not Sarah. gaelle.

get out!

-I've nowhere to go.

-get out!

I never want to see you again!

gaelle!

I didn't know how to tell you.

It got worse after the trial.

You can't stay here.

It'd only make her worse.

You understand?

-Where are you going?

-I've got some addresses for a job.

Do you need money for a room?

I am not dying

I am entering into life

I am not dying

I am ascending into love

Screel deen.

Happy birthday

May you have a lovely day

May this cake bring you joy in every way

-You maniac!

-I didn't see you.

-In the middle of the road?

-Sorry. Are you hurt?

No.

I'm sorry.

-Can I buy you a drink?

-No, forget it.

Hop on.

It's my fault. I feel guilty.

Let me make it up to you.

I'm Xavier.

And you?

Sarah.

Sarah.

Hop on.

Thank you.

I'll pay you back soon.

I insist.

It's my pleasure.

What were you doing

in the middle of nowhere?

What were you doing?

Me?

I was lost.

Funny, so was I.

Yeah, that is funny.

Want a lift? Where do you Iive?

Come on, jump on.

Don't be shy.

So you got nowhere to go?

-Want to stay at my place?

-I don't know you.

I don't know you, either.

Do what you like. I won't force you.

Anyway, I'm not sleeping at home tonight.

I work in a hotel.

Make your mind up, gaelle.

What did you call me?

Who, me? What do you mean?

How do you know my name, bastard?

What are you talking about?

-You scumbag!

-Yeah, I am.

A scumbag hack after a story.

get lost!

get lost!

Joachim, stop it!

Why come here first?

There are other places on the list.

The chaplain in jail...

told me you often train ex-offenders.

I could put all your data onto CD-ROM.

I studied Excel.

Yes, but....

Life imprisonment after all....

You're so young.

Listen.

I'm asking you to refuse this job yourself.

Just say it doesn't suit you.

I'm appealing to your Christian spirit.

You're appealing to my Christian spirit!

gaelle Le Belleck!

I have to talk to you about your sister.

Yes, Sarah.

gaelle, please listen!

No, listen!

gaelle, listen to me!

Who told you about my sister?

I've nothing to say to you.

Listen to me.

Acute peritonitis. We need to operate.

Maybe we should call the hospital.

Oh, my god. Sarah!

She's walking!

Lord, we offer you our toil.

for your glory and the world"s suffering.

We give grace for our souls" salvation...

and our bodies" healing.

Gaelle, Gaelle!

Wait for me.

Gaelle, wait for me.

You force your way into a convent.

What's more, you forge my signature!

And all for what?

For a Carmelite who's in perfect health.

St. Pierre Clavet's archivist contacted us.

Sister Sarah is healed. Healed!

Because I operated on her twin.

You're suspended from the priesthood.

-My decision is final.

-Until when?

Until you come to your senses.

You got many friends like this?

They're not friends.

He's a medical professor.

A specialist on twins.

I consulted him about you and Sarah.

He only knows your symptoms.

There are the children.

Joachim, at last!

-Suzanne's three weeks early.

-We need to talk.

Sure, but could it wait a few hours?
