Diabolique Page #4

Synopsis: The wife and mistress of a cruel school master collaborate in a carefully planned and executed attempt to murder him. The plan goes well until the body, which has been strategically dumped, disappears. The strain starts to tell on the two women as a retired police investigator who is looking into the disappearance on a whim begins to think that they know more than they are telling, and their mental state is not helped when their victim is seen, apparently alive and well by one of the pupils.

We did what we had to do,

and it's done.

It was self-defense.

You've taken it for too long.

You finally said, "F*** off. "

Good for you. F*** him.

F*** them.

Everything but f*** you.

Roughly. Come on.

Places.

I desire.

They desire.

They desire. Feminine.

- While the cat's away, the mice shall...

- Apparently.

Not at all. Guy and I talked

to a new supplier Friday.

- Portions are smaller.

- Is Guy here?

His car's here.

It was gone all weekend.

- Excuse me.

- If he is, could you ask him...

...if he's going to take his classes

tomorrow? I can't...

Mrs. Baran?

You idiot.

It's obvious she doesn't

know where he is.

Miss Horner, please. The students.

He could make an effort

for your sakes.

For her sake.

You're drawing attention to yourself.

I'm allowed to brood.

My husband's disappeared.

You'll feel better when he surfaces.

It always perks me up.

What do your saints say?

I'm brooding. I'm not praying.

Lost your faith?

I never had any to begin with.

Never believed in any of it.

God, the Virgin Mary,

that life begins at 40...

...and that people

are all basically good.

Pretty soon, we'll be the same person.

See how nice things turned out?

I'm going inside.

It wasn't too smart,

changing the food.

- He never would've done that.

- What's the point in killing him?

I like making it better for the boys.

Still, I'd rather not hang

for fried chicken.

Why did you kill him?

You could've left him.

You could've left here.

I was underestimated.

Stop looking at it.

People are watching us.

Can't stand it much longer.

Finally.

We need the net from the shed!

Who wants to go?

Desantis.

Now we'll have to drain the pool.

I'll get it.

No!

- Why not?

- He's a child.

See if you can find it.

There's something there.

A lighter.

Hey, that's Dr. Baran's.

He had it

in the office close-up.

See anything else?

That's enough.

Go inside and change.

Take that up to

Dr. Baran's office.

We must drain the pool.

- And refill it?

- That's Guy's decision.

Okay, that's enough. Go inside and get

ready for class. Go on.

Mr. Gannon, will you drain the pool?

I've got orders not to.

My keys are in there.

Please?

Right away, please.

Here's the penis...

...and the scrotum...

...that holds the testicles

or testes inside.

Now, when you're around 14, maybe

sooner, maybe later...

...the testes make a chemical

called a hormone.

This hormone causes

the changes.

It starts hair growing here...

...and under your arms

and on your face.

- What is it?!

- Something blocking the drain!

Since you want it done now,

I can't help the noise.

Go on, Mr. Nuez.

Atlantic...

...Pacific...

...Indian...
