the tapestry
Fascinated, she watched
the agile hands of the old man,
bringing back to life
His fingers, so deftly knotting
the threads,
seemed to be weaving with
a fatal logic,
her own destiny.
Help me now, my hands.
Do not betray me.
Have you worked it out?
- Is it blood?
- No, fire!
Frederique had accepted
and now desired her own end.
Like Wilhelm, with Wilhelm,
she will die by fire.
- I want to confess!
- After Mass. People are waiting.
- No! Right away!
- Please...
- After Mass.
- Now, I said!
Proceed.
I don't know how.
Tell me what to do. Help me.
I'm not a Catholic.
In that case, my son,
we'll talk after Mass.
I want to confess,
you must hear me!
Do not shout.
You're in God's house.
I don't care about God!
I need to understand.
I want to talk.
I've killed a man.
Someone from this town?
I don't know...
I don't think so.
- Ah, a stranger?
- Yes.
Well... no. I know him.
You're drunk!
Listen to me!
It's your duty.
Why did you kill him?
I'll tell you everything,
from the beginning.
Franz von Lowenstein.
William Wilson!
It's from Italy.
It must be from your Mother.
Attention!
At ease.
Silence! Stop that!
Wilson did it!
Wilson!
Down.
Up.
Down.
Up.
Down!
Who's that?
He's the new boy.
- What is your name?
- Wilson. William Wilson.
- What's your name again?
- William Wilson.
His name was Wilson?
The same as yours?
Same name, precisely.
- A coincidence.
- Unacceptable.
Power cannot be shared.
Suddenly I had a rival.
A rival, or rather a companion
who beat me in everything,
but who watched me
from a benevolent distance.
He exasperated me
but I felt extremely curious
about him.
Good God!
Wilson!
You again, as usual!
We were both expelled.
It took me a long time to forget.
- Before you leave...
- Let me finish!
Several years later
I enrolled in medicine,
out of curiosity.
I remind you that a doctor
is also a sorcerer.
We shall seek life
in the depths of matter.
And now I have the pleasure
of dissecting before you
a human body
which has always been
the dream of priests,
poets or philosophers.
To be precise, I shall open
a human heart.
If we were dealing with
a live body,
we'd process in this fashion.
Going laterally from the sternum,
between the 6th and 7th rib,
we'd find the apex of the heart.
But in the present case,
we shall section
all the ribs of the sub-auxiliary
region on the left
and the right
as far as the sternum.
Then we will separate
the diaphragm
