isn't it?

Isn't it ?

Yes.

It was a time

in which we were less organised.

Gabrielle shouldn't have let

it happen. The girl found her.

After 15 years.

That's shows a lot of persistance.

But in the end

Lucie is a victim.

Like all the others.

It's easy to create

a victim. Very easy.

Lock someone up in a dark place.

He starts to suffer.

Feed that suffering.

Methodically, systematic.

And cold. And keep it going.

The subjects goes through

different stages.

After a while the trauma,

that little crack

that happens so easily,

make it see things that aren't there.

What did poor Lucie see ?

Didn't she see things ?

Not even monsters?

Things that wanted to hurt her ?

A dead girl.

There you go.

A dead girl.

The girl you found. Sarah Dutreuil.

She saw insects. Cockroaches, everywhere.

They we're crawling over her. She had rather

chopped off her arm then to go through that.

People don't want to suffer anymore.

The world has come to a point

that there are only victims left.

Martyrs are rare.

A martyr, that's something else...

A martyrs is

an exceptional being.

It survives suffering,

the lacking of everything.

We burden it with

all the evil of the world,

and he transcends himself.

Do you understand that ?

He changes shapes..

Longsheng, 1912.

That women doesn't believe in God.

She tried to steal a chicken.

And she pays a high price.

On the moment the picture was taken,

she's still alive. Look at her eyes.

Jouans-Lussac, 1945.

That woman is a grocer.

She slept with a German.

Back then the French were sensitive.

She had to pay.

She's still alive. Look at her eyes.

Central Hospital of Birmingham, 1960.

The atheistic housekeeper

without a story

was terminally ill

and the morphine had no effect anymore.

Look at her eyes.

This one was beaten up by her husband.

Jealousy...

This one just spent 9 hours

in the wreckage of her car.

This young leukemia patient

is dying. The pains gnawing.

This woman has a rare disease.

She suffered for nine hours.

Look at their eyes. Look.

All of them. Do you hear me ?

They were all alive

when these pictures were taken.

So tell me again

that the idea of a martyr

is an invention of

the religious world !

We've tried everything.

Even children.

It's proven that women

are more sensitive for

a transformation.

Young women.

It is that way.

Anna ?

Are you there ?

I'm here.

Anna ?

-Yes, Lucie.

Why are you never afraid ?

Sometimes I'm afraid.

Not like me.

I didn't go through what you the same things.

What do you have to do

to stop being afraid ?

I think you have to let yourself go.

Do you think so ?

Let oneself go.

If I can't do it,
