Rapture Page #5

that I tried to run away from it.

Once I even threw myself into the

sea to try and stop that noise.

That was just before Mother died.

After that there was no need to

make the humming noise but...

But I couldn't think clearly

anymore and...

and Father would always

be looking at me,

looking and looking and looking.

I've never told that

to anyone before.

You see how much I need you?

Yes.

Good afternoon.

We'd like to see your father.

He's in his study.

Tell him we're here.

The two gendarmes, they are back!

If you have a moment, Monsieur.

What is it now?

It maybe a matter of murder.

Well, I'll go outside,

in case anyone's coming.

Oh, I don't know who

that belongs to.

Some little kid, probably.

Yes, only a child would

play with things like that.

Where did you get that outfit?

Where we used to live.

That's my sister, Genevieve.

And who could this be, hm?

Agnes...

you're so like your mother.

She's not in the least like her.

There's no resemblance,

none at all.

- But I am like her.

- You could never be like her.

But I am. I am like her.

- Oh, Mama!

- Karen!

No...

Come on.

We'll go upstairs. Come on.

There is no resemblance.

Do you see any?

Some.

None at all.

Come in.

Did you put this on my bed?

"Wounded Gendarme Dying."

Yes.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

You can start running...

They'll chase you.

You can run across the world

but they'll find you.

Thanks.

Or you can stay on here.

The gendarme may recover.

After a while they'll stop looking.

It's not so bad here, is it?

I told Larbaud I was

leaving tonight.

You can change your mind.

Why did he show that film?

Oh, don't ask me.

I never know what he's up to next.

What does he do here, anyway?

How does he earn a living?

He's got some money, not much.

He's always busy writing.

He was a famous judge, you know.

In Paris.

Then one day he resigned.

Nobody knows why.

Soon after, his wife died

and he came to live here.

Joseph?

You know something?

I'm going to make you

something special for lunch.

Hey, hey, hey!

What's that for?

That's what it's for.

Oh, my! It's turned

cold all of a sudden.

What's the matter with you?

Have you got something

on your mind?

Or someone?

Who else is there in this place?

There's just me.

Only me.

Don't you forget it.

Agnes?

Agnes...

Open that door.

Agnes!

No...

Agnes! Karen!

Agnes!

Agnes!

Open up! It's me, Agnes!

- Let me in!

- Agnes... Agnes!

- Come home.

- It's where I belong.

Tell them!

Tell them to take me in.

Come on. Come on home.

Come on, now.

Go back. Go away!

They'll see you. I don't

want them to see you.

I just want to help,

Agnes, that's all.

I can't be helped.
