:42:00
Didn't she tell you
she's had rheumatic fever?
:42:02
Yes, but I don't think she has.
:42:03
The heart would have been affected
and it's perfectly sound.
:42:07
I believe it's a case
of psycho-anesthesia.
:42:09
What's that?
:42:11
A form of hysteria that has
the characteristics of paralysis
:42:14
without being so.
:42:15
How do you account for it?
:42:17
In her case, I'd say
it's psychological, self-imposed.
:42:20
Having failed at suicide,
she's decided to become a cripple.
:42:24
Is there any way I can help?
:42:26
Primarily she must help herself.
It's a case for a psychologist.
:42:30
Doctor Freud.
:42:32
Well, I'll see what I can do.
:42:34
- Good day, Doctor.
- Good day.
:42:41
Tell me more
about your sister Louise.
:42:45
There's nothing more to tell.
:42:47
When she couldn't find work
she was driven to the street.
:42:51
How old were you
when you discovered this?
:42:54
About eight.
:42:56
Tell me about it.
:42:58
It was after my mother died.
I loved Louise.
:43:02
She was everything to me,
supported me, had me taught dancing.
:43:06
Then one day I realized
what she was doing.
:43:09
I was coming home from dancing
with the other girls
:43:11
and I saw her, and the other girls
saw her, walking the street.
:43:16
What did you do?
:43:19
I just ran and wept.
:43:21
Ran and wept.
:43:24
Then what happened?
:43:26
I tried to forget.
:43:28
I was sent to boarding school. At 16,
I left and joined the Empire Ballet.
:43:32
Louise went to South America.
I haven't heard from her since.
:43:37
Up to that time,
you had no trouble with your legs?
:43:40
No.
:43:42
When did it start?
:43:44
About two years later.
After Melise joined the ballet.
:43:49
Who's Melise?
:43:50
One of the girls
from the dancing school.
:43:52
One who was with you
when you found out about Louise?
:43:58
Mr. Freud would say
that since meeting this girl again,
