Careful, someone's coming.
Let's get out of here.
X13 calling. The suspects' car is heading towards the road to Nancy.
I repeat: X13 calling. The suspects' car is heading towards the road to Nancy.
STOP POLICE
Come on. Hurry up!
The police!
Stop! Go across the field. No, wait! The car will be grounded.
Let's go. Quick!
Accelerate hard! Even if you wreck the engine.
The registration plate is 4252 ST 75. It's on the road to Nancy.
We've lost contact. Beware, they're armed.
Karl, cross over. The main roads will be under surveillance.
- There are cops. - Don't worry, we've shaken them off.
He won't make it if we're not quick. The bleeding won't stop.
- What if he dies? - Shut it!
Karl, go and find Dr Ritter. He won't make it without him.
Idiot, take the van.
- OK, I'm just a bit nervous. - Bring him, quick!
What a night! It really would be the end if the pearl necklace was a fake.
- Wait. - I'll turn the light on.
Just looking at him isn't going to help!
Call Ingrid and tell her to come straight away.
- Hello. - Ingrid, it's Paul.
Come right away. Surnett has been injured.
Dr Ritter, where are you? Answer me!
Dr Ritter!
Wake up! Answer, for God's sake!
This is all we need!
Listen, Doctor! Surnett is badly injured. You need to come straight away.
- Let me sleep in peace. - Wake up!
- Come, quick! - You're always such a drag!
Treating a poor man like me in this way. I won't forgive you.
Go away! Get lost, will you?!
- Come with me, I tell you. - Leave me alone!
What do you want from me?
Surnett is seriously injured. He's got a bullet in his head.
You must come and help him.
Henry's also waiting for you. You know him.
- We've already lost a lot of time. - Where are we going?
- Do as I say! - OK, there's no need to push me.
Tell me, who shot Surnett. It wasn't you, was it?
Don't play the fool. Let's go!
I don't understand. I can't!
When the alarm sounded, we hadn't even opened the safe.
There's no explanation.
We disconnected the electrics. It couldn't have failed.
It was impossible.
- What's the doctor doing? - I'd like to know.
I hope he gets here in time.
What will happen to us if he dies? Only he can get us out of something like this.
Don't worry, Ingrid. Don't make things worse.
Keep calm.
Henry, the doctor's here, finally.
Tell me, will he pull through?
His injury is bad. There's little I can do for him.
I'm sorry, Henry.
All this for nothing!
I'd really like to know what happened.
Yes, I'll find out what happened in the jeweler’s.
- Save him, Doctor. - It's not up to me, Ingrid.
He needs to be operated on. He has to go to hospital.
It's not possible. Do you think they'll welcome us with open arms?
- It's the only solution. - Find another way!
You know what Surnett has done for you. It's time to repay that.
- Don't forget that. - Yes, but he needs a transfusion.
The bullet must be taken out as soon as possible.
I can't do that. It's not possible here.
Surnett mustn't die. Do whatever you have to do!
Calm down, Henry. Leave it to the doctor.
Leave it to him. Calm down.
Doctor, help him.
I'd like something to drink. It might clear my thoughts.
Let's hope God can make this work.
So, Doc, what have you decided?
An excellent fellow student from university
has done some great work in brain transplants.
He's a learned scientist.
I haven't seen him in a long time. That could be the solution.
Perfect. Where is he?
I remember, he lives in some village, miles from here.
I hope Surnett will cope with the journey.
Let's not waste time. The police are looking for Surnett.
Do you think he'll hang on till tomorrow?
Maybe, if we give him a transfusion. He's lost a lot of blood.
- Yours will do. - OK, let's get on with it.
Ingrid, go back to the flat. I'll keep you informed.
OK, don't forget.
Thank you, Doctor. Life isn't always easy.
Neither for you nor me. Surnett has helped us.
He deserves our help. He'll be grateful.
Enough, don't get sentimental.
The important thing is to be able to transport Surnett tomorrow, alive.
Careful, Karl. Do what you can to avoid the potholes.
Take the road up to the crossroads.
- How is he? - The bleeding has stopped.
He's weak but he'll hang in there.
Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get to the house of Professor Teets?
It's easy. Just a bit further on you'll find the turning.
Thank you.
Let's go.
I haven't been here in years. At night it's much harder to remember the way.
Slow down, Karl, we're here.
Dr Ritter. Let me open the door for you right away.
This way, please.
Dr Ritter, it's been a long time.
I'm here to see my old friends again!
We've always held you in high regard here.
Thank you, Pierre. Has the Professor already gone to sleep?
No, he spends his nights in the laboratory. He never stops.
Please tell him I'm here and would like to see him.
He'll be happy you see you here.
Go and get Surnett. I'll talk to the Professor.
Yes, that would be best.
You can come in, Doctor.
My old friend, how the years go by.
How are you? What brings you here at this hour?
Excuse me, but I needed to see you.
I'm sorry I can't shake your hand.
- What happened? - An accident in the laboratory.
They're good for nothing now.
After years of sacrifices, this is the worst that could have happened.
My brain is the same. My wife's hands do my work.
My experiments continue, thanks to her.
How Ana must have suffered. If only I knew...
Don't be concerned, the worst is over.
We have our daughter and the joy of our discoveries.
- Come and see. - Wait a moment.
Forgive me, but please listen.
I need you to help save a man's life.
- A man's life? - Yes.
When my wife died, I lost my courage.
I pulled through thanks to some gangsters who need my services.
One of them is here and is seriously injured with a bullet in his head.
You must save him.
To save my skin.
Doc, what's been decided? Surnett can't wait any longer.
Please, we have to do something.
It would be best to take him to hospital.
There's no point discussing it. You must treat him yourself, and fast!
- Your wife can do it for you. - No, she can't.
Our experiments were done on animals. What you're asking is different.
This is about saving a man's life. You must try and help.
It would be a great step for you.
It's your first chance to practice on a human being.
- Goodnight, Daddy. - Goodnight.
Sorry, I thought you were alone.
- Is anything the matter? - Don't worry, go to sleep.
I'll explain. Go on.
OK, see you later, darling.
Ana, how are you?
Dr Ritter, I didn't recognise you.
That's only natural. It's been a long time.
You're as beautiful as your mother. Try and be like her.
It's late, dear. Our friend will excuse you.
Goodbye.
Let's get on with it. For your family's sake, don't waste any more time.
- What do you mean? - I'm sorry, my friend.
This man is capable of carrying out his threats.
It would be best to carry out his demands.
OK, take the injured man to the laboratory. You know where it is.
In order to save this man, he'll need a brain transplant.
I need a human brain of the same morphology and blood group.
Is any one of you ready to give up your head?
I need the brain of man who has died recently.
We'll take care of it.
But be careful, Professor. Take great care in what you say and do.
I don't like bad jokes.
It's no joke. I have no intention of deceiving anyone.
I'll do all that is humanly possible.
But I must warn you that such transplants
can lead to mental disturbance and grave consequences.
Without an operation, he'll die. We have no choice.
I'll take that risk.
Come with me, Doc.
Siesta's over, guys. The Professor needs a human brain to save Surnett.
He thinks he can use one of ours.
Let's hope the Doctor can get us out of this...
I need a drink to think this over.
Try and be inspired, Doctor.
It's not that easy.
Although tossing for it might be a good solution.
Some tests will have to be done to determinate the lucky winner.
- I don't like this game, Doctor. - What about the servant's head?
- Why not yours? - That's enough.
- Time is pressing. - You've been a doctor for years.
Is there anyone you've treated who we could use now?
I have some notes in my diary.
I think I have it with me. Here it is.
I usually make a note of the blood groups of my patients.
- Got it. - Great.
Who is it?
A while ago, I operated on a man you all know.
- He'll do. - Tell me, who is it?
Your worst enemy. The man Surnett hated the most.
The Sadist.
- That's the one. - OK.
It won't be easy to get him.
You two, take care of it. Don't return without his head, get rid of the rest.
- Someone else might be better. - No. Don't forget this.
The Sadist's head, or your own. One moment.
To be sure the Professor won't betray us, take his daughter.
No, don't do that, Henry.
Leave her with Ingrid. Time is ticking.
Don't worry. Nothing will happen to her.
- All depends on the Professor. - He'll comply.
Great. Let's go. You'll come with me.
Any problems, Professor?
- My wife cannot operate on your friend. - Why?
Due to the risk we run in collaborating with lawbreakers.
Is she not concerned about the risk you run in not collaborating?
Don't be worried. Nothing will happen if you do as I say.
Wait, it seems you haven't fully understood.
A man's life is in your hands.
If he dies because of you, you will be sorry. It would be better to accept.
My hands will do nothing to save the life of a murderer.
- His death will benefit humanity. - Don't!
Your daughter isn't in her room. She's been kidnapped.
You're all brutes! Where is my daughter?
What do you want from us? Give us our daughter back.
- If anything happens to her... - That depends on your wife.
If she operates on Surnett, nothing will happen.
Otherwise... Understood?
I know Henry well. I know he won't harm your child.
He just wants to make you save his friend.
Don't do anything stupid, Ana.
Help your husband and all will be fine. I promise.
OK. Everything now depends on you alone.
We'll do what's needed now. What more do you want, Professor?
If you will, I would like to be alone with my wife.
You did well to hire this act.
It will be a success, you'll see.
This is the first time you congratulate me.
This girl must have caught your attention.
Be careful with these two, they know how to fight.
I know how to deal with them, don't worry.
Our guests won't be long, now. Tonight, I feel like a bit of gambling and love.
How can you play with these thugs?
When will you understand that all games, including love, need emotion?
Playing for the sake of it isn't worth it.
Come on, they're waiting for us.
- I've won again! - Careful now.
You're a thief. I should have stabbed your hand.
I've never liked cheats.
Bastard! You'd even rob your own father.
- You'll regret saying that. - You're a disgusting rat.
Don't threaten me ever again.
I don't want any trouble with the police, but I never want to see you again.
Get out of here!
You too!
Satisfied?
I needed some excitement this evening and I got it.
You'll never change. You can't do without danger and adventures.
That's why I'm called The Sadist and I'm starting to like the name.
Your friend Barbara disagrees.
Pity. That's just how I am.
I'm off. I have an important meeting.
- Don't tell Barbara I left before you. - It's risky to go alone.
Many of your friends would gladly come to your funeral.
- And me theirs. - Can you tell me who she is?
No, I don't trust you.
You'll talk to Barbara and you know her.
I don't want to tell you. I don't want any problems with her.
Goodbye, Willy. It will be daylight soon.
- How are you? - Not often I see you alone.
At least, here's a flower to keep you company.
- Take this. - Goodnight. See you tomorrow.
Don't be in such a hurry, Paul. What's going on?
You've never refused a flower from me!
Idiot! Can't even appreciate a flower. Go to Hell!
- Didn't you recognise me? - I don't like being surprised.
I said we'd meet at the bar.
It was too busy so I waited for you outside.
- It's better here where we're alone. - That depends.
Was it so urgent to see me tonight, Ingrid?
- You left me for Surnett. Remember? - I haven't forgotten.
You knew he's my worst enemy and you gave yourself to him.
- You deserved... - But you didn't do it.
I think that you loved me in your own way. I was young.
You were the first man who...
Who doesn't forgive and forget.
Everything will be different now.
- I know I'll make you happy. - What do you want, Ingrid?
I hate Surnett. I can't stand him any more. I hate him!
It would really be terrible for him if I went back to you.
He deserves it. Do you want me back?
I was more interested in you when you were first-hand. But now...
I've changed and I have more experience.
You'll see. Come!
Karl, come here.
- Where are we going? - To the cemetery.
I'll go in front.
I don't feel good.
Shut up, will you?
- Cut his head off now. - Why me?
- That's your job. - That's different. It's not the same thing.
Why didn't you say that to Henry? I'm not a butcher.
- What's the matter? Come on. - You started it so you should finish it.
- That's what you're being paid for! - OK, I'll do it.
Do you hear? Let's scram before they let the dog loose.
Wait. We can't leave the body here. Help me.
What are we going to do now?
We can take the dead body so the doctor cuts the head off himself.
- And what'll Henry do with ours? - Shit!
- Let's just carry out the orders. - How did you lose the knife?
- It's your fault. - The Sadist made us spend a night.
We'll have to find a solution. Let's try and use our brains.
We still have ours.
That's it. I've got it!
- You've got an idea? - We'll put it on the tracks, then...
- What do you think? - How long do we wait for a train?
Don't be a pessimist. One will come by.
You'll see. Stop the car.
- Oh God! - Shit!
Why couldn't it have waited a bit?
When's the next one going to come?
- We're in real fix. - Keep quiet!
There we go. Come on. Let's get out of here.
- The next will be the one. - You think? Henry must be raving mad.
Our heads might end up the same way as The Sadist's.
Shut up! You're making me nervous.
Forgive me, Paul. I won't say a thing.
My dear Ana, even if we're punished by the law,
we'll be making a great leap for the good of science.
Let God protect us.
He knows we're doing this for our daughter.
I ask you to think only about what you're going to do.
Listen carefully. We're going to remove the lobes damaged by the bullet.
Pay careful attention.
Incision 3 cm from the injury.
Be very careful, Ana.
Now, 10 cm trephination.
Good. Now insert the probe.
Like that, very good.
That's it.
The bullet didn't penetrate the brain.
Here it is.
Now you can cut the lobe.
Calm down.
You've done it many times before, darling.
I know this is different. You're going to cut open a human.
This moment was always going to come.
I very much regret that it is under such circumstances.
We can't turn back.
Scalpel.
It's time to do the transplant.
It's the most delicate part.
The compression of the veins and the suture of the lobes
should be done as in our last experiment.
Take great care. Like this, Ana.
Are you encountering any difficulties?
He needs an electronic stimulant.
Give it to him, Doctor.
It's done.
You can now finish the suture.
Take away the anesthetic.
The cardiac rhythm is slowing. Inject some adrenalin directly into the heart.
I think we've succeeded. We've anticipated this for years.
Ana, you've done a magnificent job. I've very proud of you.
- Let's hope to God it wasn't in vain. - Ana, let me congratulate you.
You know very well why I did it.
- Are you happy now? - Yes. I know what you're waiting for.
We've kept our promise. Ask your friends to bring our daughter back now.
- I will. - I hope so.
What do you think you'll do? You can't go on like this.
I can't stay. It's late.
I'm a failed doctor.
A coward and a drunk who no one can trust. Not even me.
You weren't responsible for your wife's death.
Her illness is still incurable. Instead of fighting, you gave up.
That's true.
And now I'm working again thanks to guys like these.
That's why I'm in their hands.
You're a good doctor. Let me help you.
Tell me what I can do for you.
What can I do?
You've already done so much for me.
Tell me, Doc. How did the operation go?
He's been saved. They did a good job.
- Can I see him? - This isn't the time, Henry.
First, you must fulfill your promise if you want everything to end well.
Bring their daughter back. You promised.
You know me. I promise I will. I'll go and get her myself.
OK, Doc? Where are you going with that?
What's left of The Sadist must be destroyed.
Wait a moment. I have an amusing idea.
Come with me. I'll explain on the way.
As for you, look after the boss.
And tell the Professor we're going to get his daughter.
Don't lose your heads. I need them.
Hi, Ingrid. I've come to get the girl.
Tell me, Henry, how's Surnett?
Don't worry. He'll soon be back to his usual self.
- Please, tell me the truth. - The operation was a success.
I've been assured that he's been saved.
- It's been dreadful waiting. - For me too, Ingrid.
I really thought it was over.
But we all did our bit perfectly. What you did was crucial.
It's thanks to you that we got The Sadist's head.
- I'll never forget this night. - You must try.
I want to get back before it's light.
Can I come with you? I feel like a prisoner here.
OK, get the kid ready to leave.
The papers will be out soon.
I guess we'll have a prime spot today.
Get up. We've had no news from the boss and you're sleeping.
Read the headlines. And think, if you're capable of it.
"The man with the severed head: A strange discovery.
"A corpse was found on the train tracks..."
No need to read it just for me.
I know the news and I'm worried.
You think that maybe...
He's disappeared, hasn't he?
Don't anticipate things, Barbara.
Last night he wanted to go out alone
- and when he does, you know that... - Shut up!
He loves you, Barbara, but he likes a change.
- He isn't called The Sadist for nothing. - Shut up, please!
Don't get into such a state.
Is it normal to receive presents at this hour? Where is it from?
If you're going to carry on like this, you'd better leave!
Goodbye, Barbara. You're far too edgy.
Hi, guys. Come in!
- So, what have you found out? - Nothing.
- No one's seen him. - Not even his closest friends.
Willy, you're the boss now.
Act accordingly and don't waste time insinuating things.
OK! Don't get mad. It was a joke.
I'm very curious about this little parcel.
Sorry, Barbara. Do you normally receive gifts at this hour?
- Do you know who sent it? - I don't know.
The concierge gave it to me when I went to get the paper.
Someone left it on the counter when he wasn't there.
It's strange.
Let's have a look at this surprise that awaits us.
"From some friends who wish you well."
The bastards!
Hey, are you looking for someone? Oh, sorry.
My name's Paul. I'm a friend of the family. I'm here for a few days.
I don't know everyone yet.
My name's Emmy. I've brought the paper for the Professor.
I sometimes play with his daughter.
He always comes to let me in. ls anything wrong?
No. He just told me to say hello to you from him.
- I'll give the Professor the newspaper. - OK. Goodbye, see you tomorrow.
And please tell Natalie to wait for me.
What did that girl want?
She brings the newspaper for the Professor every day.
- What did you tell her? - That I'm a friend. She's harmless.
Don't be fooled by appearances and even less so by women.
Great, and on the front cover.
Listen, "The body of a decapitated man was found on the train tracks.
"Identification was not possible..."
The Sadist's friends will be furious.
I'd have loved to see their faces when they received the gift.
Good work, kids!
Surnett will be pleased.
Take this to him. Ah, no... Wait, he's with Ingrid.
- You'll get better soon. - No, I've had nightmares.
Everyone abandoned me when I needed them. You too.
I love you, Surnett. I'll never leave you.
What's the matter? Trust me.
You'll see. Everything will be like before.
Leave me alone. My brain is torturing me. I can't handle it.
Go away!
I can't help it.
- What's the matter, Ingrid? - I don't know.
I can't understand Surnett's behaviour.
He wants to be alone.
He's never talked to me like that.
For the first time, I felt scared.
His eyes aren't the same.
I've noticed the change in him. I don't understand it.
The Professor just told me that he doesn't want to draw conclusions yet,
but I don't trust him.
Ingrid, go and get Doc. Hopefully he can tell us what's up with Surnett.
Bring him here, even if he's drunk. We need him.
- Hello, Willy. - Did The Sadist come here last night?
Don't worry, he must be in good company.
He'll be back when he's had enough.
I need to know who he was with. It's very important.
I've not seen him in ages. Barbara knows him better than anyone.
I don't understand his loyalty. Why is he faithful to her?
She's second hand furniture, but The Sadist likes her.
Barbara thinks for him and business is going pretty well.
That's why they complement and tolerate each other.
The Sadist will never change. Barbara knows that.
But she doesn't like people saying so and you wouldn't want her to hear you.
I know exactly what she's capable of.
No, you don't. Goodbye.
I'll be waiting for you tonight and don't worry for them. It's not worth it.
Aren't you fed up wiggling around? It's bedtime.
Hi, Willy. A night owl like you!
What do you want at this time? Have you lost something?
Our friend The Sadist is keeping me awake.
Listen. Answer my questions.
Tell me, were you with the boss last night?
No, Willy. I'm not his favourite any more.
Do you know if a friend of yours had contact with him.
- What kind of contact? - You know very well.
There are other things to do than being concerned with The Sadist.
Everyone should know how far to go.
Maybe he's being entertained by a new recruit.
- His harem is well stocked. - You're wrong this time.
For me today, absolutely nothing.
- If you hear anything... - You seem very concerned.
I need to sleep, and I can't.
I'll see you a bit later. Bye.
Goodbye!
Hello, Willy. The first flower of the day is for you.
The last of the day was for your boss.
What? Where did you see him?
Here. He was in a rush, but he seemed happy.
He'll never change. You seem troubled. What's the matter?
It isn't anything serious, is it?
Is that all you know about the boss? What are people saying? Tell me.
Things. A lot of things.
- Explain. - Have you read today's paper?
The man with the severed head.
Wait. That's not all.
You know Paul, Surnett's guy?
Last night he seemed like he was in a rush. He was on edge.
He went in the same direction as The Sadist.
That's not good news, is it?
Let's hope it's useful. Thanks very much.
Good luck, Willy.
Is anyone there?
One of them must be injured.
Where could they have taken him?
There's a car in the garage riddled with bullet holes.
Something obviously happened here.
What I don't understand is the link between them and the boss' death.
- Paul should know. - Where do we find him?
If one of them is injured, the only doctor who can treat him
is our common friend, Dr Ritter. Let's find him.
Can't take anything seriously with a drunk like you!
Let's hope Ingrid is more forthcoming.
She doesn't know anything. Leave her be.
- Barbara? - Yes, it's me.
It's Willy. Listen carefully.
I'm at Dr Ritter's right now. I have a surprise for you.
- Really? - A very good friend, Ingrid, is with us.
I guess you'd like to see her so come over.
You'll also have the chance to get her back for what she's done to you.
- I'll be over right away. - Good.
Yes, we'll wait for you. Be quick.
Let's have a bit of fun.
Tell me the truth, or no one will be able to recognise you, not even Surnett.
If you don't talk, we'll turn your body into something nasty
and the guys won't find that pretty.
Enough! Leave her alone! She doesn't know where Surnett is.
So you know where he is then?
- You'll take us to him, then. - Wait, Willy.
Be careful. You know how Surnett works.
We know each other well. The main thing now is to keep Ingrid.
She means a great deal to him. He'll want to come and get her.
And the doctor?
He'll be our guide for now, then we'll see.
Take the girl to the flat. She could still be very useful.
- Henry will stay with you. - OK.
OK, Doctor, if you want to spare Ingrid, don't slip up.
Surnett won't want to see you like this.
I'm surprised she's late. I called Ingrid but she's not responding.
Nor the doctor. It's strange.
We need to find out what's going on.
Downstairs are some guys who'll look after you.
Don't worry, everything will be fine.
The pulse is normal. I think we've got through the most critical stage.
I think he'll recover soon.
The Professor and his wife saved your life. You should thank them.
Although thanks to you, their experiments have become a reality.
- Right, Professor? - In other circumstances,
I'd have been pleased with my work.
Now, what can I hope?
When we've gone, you'll be left with just a bad memory of us.
And one day, Professor, when you talk about your success,
you won't be able to ignore the fact that we facilitated this.
- Go to bed, darling. - I know our presence isn't pleasant.
For us too, but we must cope with it.
- I can't. - Of course. You can't cope with...
What is your name?
- Let me go. - I envy your husband. He's a lucky man.
Get lost! Come on.
Ingrid's not answering. What do we do, Henry?
- The doctor must be blind drunk. - But not Ingrid.
- I'll go and find her. - You take care of things here.
Doc... Doc!
Karl, Paul!
Ingrid is in danger.
She needs help.
I think I talked too much.
But it was to protect her. It's the truth, Henry.
I can't tolerate what they did to her.
Was it The Sadist's guys?
Yes, and Barbara.
Such brutality is unbelievable.
Tell me who it was.
It doesn't matter. It was my fault.
Forgive me.
Forgive me for the harm I've caused.
- What can we do to save Ingrid? - Nothing.
Willy came so we'd leave Surnett alone.
But we won't. We'll wait for him here.
What will happen? You don't have the right to expose our lives like this.
If we abandon Surnett, they'll kill him and I know what they'll do to you.
- Let us leave. - You can't abandon your patient.
If he kills Surnett, he'll destroy all that you've done. Don't forget.
I'll stay but you must let my family leave. I'm asking you.
Sorry. What can you do without the hands of your wife?
We need to keep watch outside every two hours now.
Got it? But first, we'll have to bury old Doc.
OK.
One of you will come and help me.
Are you going to keep watch or bury?
See, you no longer need help to get up. You're improving every day.
If things keep quiet, I hope that you'll soon be able to walk in the park.
But what's happened to me? Something has changed in me. Tell me, Professor.
It would be premature to make a diagnosis. Problems can still arise.
Last night, I had a dreadful headache. And then I got scared.
I'm not myself. I know it.
Don't worry, Surnett. I'll do all I can so you get better.
- And if you can't? - I can't tell you right now.
Lies, lies, Professor!
You know what's wrong with me. Tell me!
OK. I warned of the dangers in conducting this operation.
Henry accepted the risk. There was no choice. Otherwise, you'd be dead.
What have you done to me?
If my condition deteriorates, how will I change?
Karl! Ask my wife to come, quick!
- I heard cries. What's happened? - Your husband needs you.
What's wrong?
He's showing signs of psychic transformations which I anticipated.
He needs the treatment which we tested. Get it ready.
- The results weren't complete. - I know.
But it's the only solution, We must try.
If we don't, all we've done thus far will be admitting failure.
No, I can't accept that.
I can't. It would be terrible.
The time has come to act.
We've waited long enough for them to come out of their den.
OK, check it works.
Pour us all a cup, Karl. We need to be sharp.
We all do. We've been on watch a long time.
- And this could take time. - The sunset scares me more every day.
I don't like things being so calm.
Willy tries to make us all jumpy. With you he certainly manages.
Just me? I think we all are, Henry. No, you can't deny it.
You're bothered by Willy, but perhaps more by Surnett and his reactions.
It's your turn on watch.
Something is going to happen outside anytime soon.
- Open your eyes! - They will end up popping out.
Paul!
Paul, it's me!
Answer me!
Don't hide. You know I don't like pranks.
If you don't reply, I'll shoot at the first shadow I see.
Don't play jokes, Paul.
Paul!
Henry!
Paul! I found Paul!
Go on, speak!
- They've hung Paul from a tree! - Shit!
Barbara, if you can get me out,
you'll see there's also something of The Sadist that lives on in you -
something that's difficult to explain
but that you can't understand.
What nonsense! You are Surnett.
And you deserve to die!
Yes, I'm Surnett, but a different Surnett
from the one you knew.
In my head, I got a bit of the damn brain
of your boyfriend, The Sadist.
Scoundrel!
I can feel now what he felt,
the same perverse desires.
If I don't kill you...
You'll understand that The Sadist still lives on.
He'll be in me for as long I live.
Shut up if you don't want me to strangle you!
See what I found near Paul's body.
What are you talking about?
"Some friends who wish you well."
The poor doctor will have company now. Let's hope there aren't more.
- Save your jokes for later. - Sure.
Filthy scoundrel.
Now I get it.
That's why everything messed up. This necklace was in the jeweler’s.
It was connected to a different alarm system
that you set off when you grabbed it, fool!
Let me explain, Henry. I didn't know.
Neither did you know it was a fake.
Only an amateur would have been tempted. It all failed because of you.
- I'll kill you! - Don't make me shoot!
I'm sorry for what's happened, but I can't change things. It's just you and me left.
If one of us dies, the other can't protect Surnett.
Think. You've always reasoned things out.
Don't make me do any more damage.
We need each other.
OK, but pray if you know how, so we survive.
- Henry! - What's going on?
Surnett isn't in his room. Someone opened the door for him.
- Did your wife let him leave? - No. There's too much at stake for us.
Then it must have been Karl, and no one else.
Karl, don't move. And throw your gun down.
Throw it down.
- Why are doing this, Henry? - Bastard! Where's Surnett?
I don't know any better than you, Henry.
I should have taken you out last night.
Henry, I'm telling you, you're wrong this time.
- You sneak! - Believe me, Henry.
I don't know where Surnett is. Believe me.
- Please! - Help, help!
Did you hear? It wasn't that far away.
Let's go and see.
Help!
Let me go!
Surnett, let her go. Quick.
Surnett, you're making things worse.
Come with us, you've not fully recovered yet. The Professor needs you.
Why? I'm going mad. I can't take it any more!
You, my best friend. Why did you do this?
There was no other solution other than to let you die.
That would have been better.
What's going to happen now?
The Professor is still confident about the results.
Believe me, Surnett. Come on.
No! I won't go!
I don't want to go.
No! I can't control myself.
I beg you, Henry!
Don't leave me like this.
Let's take him.
The transplant has perfectly replaced the damaged part of the brain.
What we haven't been able to control
is the influence it exerts on the cerebral mass of the injured person
and its reaction to a foreign body.
- These new reactions stem from... - Stop, will you?!
This man poses danger for us all. We should let him die.
Don't say that. Before we intervened, there was a danger.
Now, it's an experiment for the good of mankind.
To eliminate him would be a greater crime. No, I won't do it.
- Then I'll do it myself! - No, you're mad.
Can you tell me what's going on?
Nothing important.
For the first time, my wife and I don't have the same professional opinion.
- What are the results? - That's our business.
What do you want to do? Let him suffer?
It's not easy for me to think that the only solution is to end his life
but it's a reality we must face.
- Don't think of it. - OK.
But I can't do anything for him.
Stay with Surnett. It's the result of your work but think of your wife and daughter.
What will you do to defend them against Surnett?
And from The Sadist's guys. They're not like us. Think carefully.
Take my advice.
And don't allow your husband's madness to destroy you too.
Professor, remember that the newspaper girl saw us.
The whole country will know already. So we must go.
You need evidence to accuse the Professor.
Isn't the state in which my daughter was in when she got home enough?
But I can't believe the Professor is responsible for such madness.
We all know it.
My daughter was attacked by a stranger in the Professor's garden.
Some guys in a van arrived a few days ago, asking for the Professor.
Since then, no one's seen his family.
You should go and see what's going on.
- If you don't, we'll go ourselves. - Be patient! That's all I'm asking.
What you're saying makes sense. I'll take care of it.
We'll need to be patient. I'm going to call the police.
- What did the Professor decide? - He's mad.
Let's get away from this damn rat-trap.
- Where do we go? - Ingrid’s.
He won't do anything while he's looking for Surnett.
- But I can guess what he'll do to the girl. - Then where do we go?
Anywhere is safer than here, unless you want to stay.
No way.
Look for him.
Let's go.
Your father said not to open the door to anyone.
Hide in a room and don't come out.
- Run! - Why are you here? Get out.
They would have killed me. They came for Surnett.
Hand him over. You will save everyone, your family.
No, forget it. I won't.
Then defend them. Shoot them when they open the door.
I'll hand you over to Surnett. I'm not going to die for you.
Get out of here!
Let me go!
Karl, open the door!
Karl!
Ana, forgive me.
There was nothing else I could do.
You understand?
THE END
