were forced by nature...

to perform an operation

they had hoped to avoid.

Late the next day, the institute

announced the successful separation.

Dominique and Danielle,

once one, would now

stand each alone.

- Well, what do you think?

- That's an extraordinary tape, Mr. McLennen.

Now, I tried

to do a follow-up,

but the institute was closed to me

even as a friend of the twins.

- Why was that?

- Well, all I could find out at the time was that...

after the operation there

had been some complications.

- What sort of complications?

- I never did get any official information,

so I slipped 20 bucks to one of the

suture nurses, and she told me that...

Dominique Blanchion had died

on the operating table.

- What are you doing?

- I have my work to do.

- Do you live here?

- So they tell me.

Do you mind

if I use your telephone?

- No.

- Where is it?

It's in the kitchen

down the hall.

Thank you.

Better spray yourself, hon.

You're not supposed to be in here.

I've got

to use the telephone.

You're not supposed

to be in here.

I think you have a cold.

No, no.

It's a clean telephone.

Don't just think you can

walk in here like that.

Did you know that the germs

can come through the wires?

I never call

and I never answer.

It's a good way

to get sick.

Very, very sick.

That's how I got so sick.

Someone called me on the telephone!

What's going on here?

Who are you?

My name is Grace Collier and I write

for "The Staten Island Panorama,"

- and I must use the telephone.

- No!

No!

Don't give it to her. Don't!

She won't use it, Arlene.

She won't.

Trust me.

Look, this is the Lynton Clinic. You

can't just come walking in here like this.

Well I can if one of your patients is

roaming around loose murdering people.

Oh, come on. There have been a lot of

wild rumors going around about us,

but I wouldn't expect the "Panorama"

to take them seriously.

I take them seriously

and I'm going to call the police!

Better talk to the head of the clinic.

Now, if you call about 10:00 tomorrow...

I'll speak

to him now!

- I'll see if he'll see you.

He's probably gone to bed.

Hello, Doctor.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

There's a girl here who says she's

"a reporter from the" Panorama.

She insists

on talking to you.

Okay.

Doctor will be

right with you. Arlene...

- You did a good job cleaning up.

Now, you can take your things

back to the supply room.

One of your patients is a murderess.

I followed her here tonight. Now, we've

got to call the police. That's him!

Dr. Breton, this girl says

she's from the "Panorama."

Hello, Margaret,

why aren't you in your room?

This man is involved in a murder

and we have got to call the police.

She came to us last night. We're

very happy to have her join our family.

Oh, I was off duty.

Margaret, this is Mr. Jansen.

Margaret Grisham.

- Hello, Margaret.

- Nice try.

If you'll go and check my I.D.,

it's in my car outside.

I am Grace Collier.

I wouldn't insist on "Margaret" right

away. We want to respect your wishes.

When you're ready to have us

call you Margaret, you tell us.

- Take her to room 23.

- Right.

Dr. Corbin, prepare her

for hypnotherapy.

Come with me, Margaret.

Grace, I mean. It's all right.

Please. Now, you've

got to believe me.

I am perfectly sane. Just go downstairs

and check my bag. It's in my car.

- Yes, Grace. Just as soon as you're settled in.

- No! Now!

- I'm afraid my life is in danger.

- I understand.

Oh, God!

I know what that sounds like.

I'm serious. As soon

as you find out who I am,

you'll know that they are

making all of this up!

Grace, I believe

you're serious in what you think.

- Let go of my arm!

- Well, it's a little rough going here in the dark, Grace.

- Stop calling me Grace!

- Then, you really do want to be Margaret?

No, damn it,

my name is Grace!

Let go.

Let go.

All right, Margaret, just push up your

sleeve for me. This won't hurt a bit.

- Help!

- Get her in the room.

No!

Help!

Open your eyes.

You came here

to ask me questions.

- Is that correct?

- Yes.

You will ask me questions. You will

remember my answers exactly, word for word.

- Do you understand?

- Yes.

Good.

Now, repeat after me.

What did you do

with the body?

- Repeat.

- What did you do with the body?

It was all

a ridiculous mistake.

There was no body.

- Repeat.

- It was all a ridiculous mistake.

There was no body.

There was no body,

because there was no murder.

Repeat.

There was no body

because there was no murder.

- Again.

- There was no body because there was no murder.

Good.

When you awaken, all you will remember

is what I have told you...

if anyone should ask.

- Do you understand?

- Yes.

Good.

Now, I'm going to take you deeper...

into deeper sleep.

Relax. Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Now, listen to me

very carefully.

You came to watch us, to spy on us,

to feed on our sorrows...

look at me... at no cost.

- Do you hear me?

- Yes, I hear you.

Good.

You want to know

all our secrets?

All right. We will

share them with you.

Watch.

Wh-Why is she here?

Don't you remember?

She was always here.

Don't you remember?

- No.

- Go back.

- Go back. Remember.

- I can remember.

- Remember when you were very young.

I am in agreement

with my colleagues.

Although they

believe that Dominique...

is the one

who is truly disturbed,

I think that they will find

that Danielle, who is so sweet,

so responsive, so normal,

as opposed to her sister,

can only be so

because of her sister.

- Danielle...

- And the time we had the picnic.

- That's right, the picnic.

- And people have come to see us.

- To see you, yes.

- I remember.

- What else do you remember?

- She is not just one.

- They were all my friends.

- They were... They were your friends.

- Oh, Dominique, it's okay.

- They brought...

- Thank you, Charlie.

- Their picnic lunches...

- and their cameras.

- Yes.

And they brought

their little children.

- Ah, yes. I remember that.

- They gave you treats.

- Little cakes, candies...

- Yes, an apple... You gave me an apple.

Apples, yes.

And then they asked...

- if they can take your picture.

- Yes.

- Dominique didn't like the children very much.

- Is that right, Dominique?

- No, she said that they were laughing at us.

- Do you remember?

- No, I can't remember.

- Go back. Try.

- What did they call you?

- I-I can't remember that.

- Try to remember what they called you.

- Go away, please!

- You can remember. "You" can "remember. Look at me."

- I can't remember. No!

- Look at me!

- Go away! I can't remember that.

"- You" can "remember." What did

they call you? - No. I don't know!

- Remember!

- They said, "freak." "Look at the freak."

- ... the freak, the freak...

- Sweetie, smile.

... the freak, the freak...

- Smile.

Make them go away

from me, please.

Don't you remember what you learned

last spring that you could never have?

- No, I can't remember. No, I can't remember!
