Marie Curie: The Courage of Knowledge Page #3

---

Especially when it's done by daddy.

Till evening.

Give it to your mum, will you?

I am going, see you in the lab?

Don't forget your umbrella!

What would I do without you?

Now it should keep well.

Gigantic is this begonia of yours.

True. It is growing much faster

than the other one.

At least I've managed to control

disruptions of our electroscope.

- Really?

- Yes.

There was an accident.

On the corner Rue Dauphine.

He wanted to cross the street quickly.

Who?

Must have been deep in his thoughts.

He slipped.

He didn't see the carriage.

He is dead?

Oh, professor Amagat?

Good morning.

Very modest for a Nobel laureate, isn't it?

But Madame did not forget to

invite our minister of education.

He may be useful for her in the future.

Two times six...

2HCI-- 1 HCI times...

Manya, come back to Poland with me.

Without Pierre you will always

be a foreigner here!

Pierre would like me

to continue our work.

You can do it in Poland as well.

You perfectly know that it is not true.

What kind of future will my daughters

have in Poland?

What are you talking about?

Poland is at the start of big changes.

Your daughters will be better there

than in a country

which has until this day not

rehabilitated Dreyfus!

Their place is here.

You want to stay in France, yes?

I promised him to be

always by his side.

I let him go alone.

Why am I still alive?

He was such a better person

than I am.

Manya, it was an accident.

Without Pierre I am nothing!

Irne, can you pass me your plate?

- Thank you very much.

- Irne, more asparagus?

Kids, I baked some cake!

It is still warm.

Cake? For me!

Do you intend to work

yourself to death?

When I work, he is with me.

Nobody can work for two for ever.

You not either.

If I can isolate radium in its pure

metal form,

nobody will doubt its nature.

I'm going to build the radium Institute,

Pierre dreamed of.

And make out of the Curie therapy

the best method against cancer.

Do you know what it means?

Thousands of incurable patients saved

by the radiation of this...

Your radium might destroy tumors

but it also eats up fingers!

I'm so afraid to tell Irne the truth.

You are lying, mum!

You are lying!

Dad! Dad!

My Pierre. My good, beloved Pierre...

Another day which I was not destined

to spend with you.

Our treasures are so little!

Shall I be worthy of you?

He is not here.

He is waiting for you

in your dreams.

When you think of him, you will

be able to hear his voice, see him.

Wait, Irne. Please.

Do you believe in God?

God has nothing to do with this.

I don't believe any more.

God is just a Santa Claus version for adults!

There is something to it!
