The Black Box Page #5

Synopsis: Images flash through Arthur's brain, voices buzz in his mind, uttering disjointed words and sentences. Arthur Seligman seems to have had an accident but did he run over a little boy or not? And what was he doing near Cherbourg while he lives in Paris? When he regains consciousness (but does he really?) Isabelle Kruger, a nurse, tells him that he had lapsed into a coma after his accident and that she wrote down all of what he said while he was delirious. She gives him the notebook and Arthur starts investigating...HIMSELF!

- He brought me flowers.

- Seems he's returned.

- Seems? You didn't see him?

No, I'd have told you.

But he's back, the place was cleaned.

- But he's not here now.

- No, but he's here.

He's been here, you can see.

- Then who took his mail?

- I don't know, I didn't see him.

- He doesn't lend the place to anyone?

- Oh, how would I know?

- Do you watch out or not?

- For those who talk to me...

Your brother never does.

What are you doing?

Get in.

You were following me?

I can't go without you.

It's impossible. I tried but I can't.

I miss you too much.

Right now you're unhappy.

You're afraid...in pain...I feel it.

Police.

- Come in.

- No, you're coming with us.

- You have a lawyer?

- No.

- If you don't want us to assign one,

you should plan ahead. - Plan?

- Because it looks very bad for you.

- Bad? Explain.

- You should explain.

- Then ask me!

What time is it?

What day are we?

What color is

Henry IV's white horse?

We ask simple questions

yet you don't answer.

Is Walcott a name you recognize?

- What?

- Didn't hear me?

- Yes.

- Yes, I heard, or yes, I know him?

- You visited Dr. Walcott?

- Yes.

- Something happened to him?

- He told us about you.

You frightened him. You told him

a man tried to kill your brother.

This man, it might be you.

That's not all, we got DNA tests back.

- Two individuals were at Miss Kruger's.

- Two?

One is known to us, the other...

The other is you.

- I never denied being there!

- Because you're clever.

She took care of me at the hospital.

You have two DNAs, where's the other?

You questioned the other?

We're looking.

You haven't found him?

I'll find the other one for you.

You didn't say to wait,

but you didn't say to leave.

I only hope you're not

disappointed when you return.

Look at me. Try to answer.

Keep you eyes open.

You know where you are?

- In prison.

- Prison? Why?

I killed some people.

People? Do you remember your name?

Good.

Why am I tied up?

So you won't hurt yourself.

You were very agitated before waking up.

Agitated?

Delirious, thrashing around,

you might have hurt yourself.

I don't remember.

You're not in prison,

this is a hospital. I'm Dr. Granger.

This is Dr. Brenner, the psychiatrist.

I'm with the crazies?

There are no crazies here, it's a

neurosurgery unit. We treat all pathology.

Including mental ones.

You had an accident last night,

a serious one.

I had to do delicate surgery,

but it went well.

Scans showed a hematoma, we'll do

MRIs but you should be fine.

Do you understand all this?

- I'm in pain.

- We'll increase the morphine.

MRI of Arthur S. age 35,

admitted Oct. 29 at 2:30 A.M....
