EYES WITHOUT A FACE
The Professor? No, not yet
I'll tell him as soon as he finishes
Man's greatest new hope
is the recapture of physical youth
This hope...
...is afforded by the heterograft
But the heterograft, that is to say
the transplanting...
...of living tissues or organs
from one human being to another...
...has hitherto been possible
only when the two subjects in question...
...demonstrate a perfect
biological compatibility
What we must now do is modify
the organism receiving foreign tissues
One method is to use heavy
radiation bombardment to destroy...
...the antibodies which form
an obstacle to the heterograft
To achieve this end, however,
the intense radiation required...
...is such that the patient
cannot survive
So exsangunination is practised
is drained of the last drop of blood
There was a call for you, Professor
The forensic people... you know,
the morgue. You're to go right away
Your paper was a perfect tonic
Thrilling, wasn't it, Carlo?
What a wonderful future you showed us
As to the future, Madame,
we cannot wait that long
He's changed since his daughter
vanished, he makes strange remarks
It's a strange business,
but that's how it looks to me
Gnessier's daughter vanished
from the clinic, her face an open wound
The lack of facial tissue of course
confirms your supposition
The car crash, the facial burns,
then prolonged immersion in water...
And the rats... don't forget the rats
True. Yet the description
of this drowned girl fits Simone Tessot
I asked the Tessot girl's father
to come in... something doesn't sit right
It's odd that the body should have
been naked but for a man's coat
Why should Gnessier's daughter,
disfigured in a car accident...
...feel the need to strip naked
before drowning herself in her despair?
And that vast open wound
in place of a face is odd, too
The edges are so clean
that it might have been done by a scalpel
Here he is
Doctor Lherminier... Inspector Parot,
from the Missing Persons Bureau
I deeply regret the unfortunate
circumstances occasioning this meeting
Please explain
This morning, two bargemen retrieved
the body of a girl from the Seine
The period of immersion tallies
with your daughter's disappearance
The description also tallies -
facial tissue destroyed,
the eyes undamaged
IDENNTIFICATIONN ROOM
It is her
Monsieur Tessot is here, Doctor
Tell him we have an identification.
It is not his daughter
I called him in case...
Yes... of course
Forgive me, Professor...
I'm Henri Tessot
I came about my daughter,
but they tell me she was yours
Are you certain, Professor?
Quite certain?
All too certain, unfortunately
It was such a shock when they called me...
It's ten days since we saw Simone.
Something must have happened to her
Strange that I should have to comfort you,
for whom some hope yet remains
I've simply got to find a room
He gets more and more like his father
as he grows older
Remember old Gnessier, the notary?
He wasn't exactly skinny, either
He doesn't enjoy munch luck, anyway
Lost his wife four years ago,
now his daughter
Paris, fame, fortune...
what does it all add up to?
Who's the young man?
The daughter's fianc, a doctor.
He works with the Professor
- And the woman?
- His "secretary". A foreigner
She looks upset
Go home, my boy
- No, let's leave
- I like things done properly
Let's go. I can't take any more
Be quiet!
For my beloved daughter
Doctor Gressier's residence
No admittance to patients
and their visitors
Where did you find this? I don't like
