Diabolique Page #5

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.

Mrs. Baran fainted! Let's go.

- Get a doctor!

- I'll go!

The doctor's worried about you.

He thinks it's serious.

Where's the body?

Someone moved it, that's apparent.

Someone saw us put it in?

Well, I don't know. Maybe.

We must find him.

No, Mia.

Stick to our story. It's better

this way. We don't know where he is.

He'll turn up.

If he doesn't, all the better.

Okay? Did you take your

heart medicine? No.

We must act naturally.

You must ask about Guy.

Be concerned, like you would be

if he was really missing.

- What?

- His suit.

Oh, my God.

4 x 6 color prints.

Can I have those in 20 minutes?

Ask her.

Tell her if she sees anything,

to call us.

He's disappeared.

Let's just get these

and get out of here.

Someone's watching us.

Someone with Guy's camera.

- You need to eat, honey.

- I'm not hungry, thank you.

He is dead, Mia.

He is dead. We killed him.

You saw him die.

What about the pictures?

Someone took them before he was killed.

- Right?

- Who?

We'll know when they start

blackmailing us.

He's dead.

This is another thing.

I didn't tell you something.

Open it.

It's the school accounts.

That's why there's no money.

It was for Guy and me. He told me

someone stole it, but I found it.

You killed him for money.

Believe me, it wasn't the only reason.

There's $50,000 there, Mia.

We'll split it.

Use it to pay for your damn

fried chicken.

I can go to the police.

I can tell them what we did.

What you did.

We both did it.

They won't see that as

beneficial to me.

They'll say the wife gets the

school, the money, her freedom.

What does the other woman get?

Nothing.

That's how they'll look at it.

I'll say we were lovers.

You can take the girl

out of the convent...

I thought we had the same reason.

We did have the same reason.

I just had an extra one.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I couldn't do it now.

If you hadn't found this...

...you killed the person who

could tell you where it was.

He said we were partners...

...and then he acted alone.

- Where're you going?

- I must go.

What are you talking about?

This was under my door this morning.

It's over. He's been found.

It's Sunbury, 20 miles from here.

How would he get there?

Someone took him from the pool

to the river.

We should call the police and

file a missing persons report.

I must go. It's him.

I'll go too.

No, I'll wait. Fine.

- Wait in there.

- No, I'll be fine.
