:23:02
Just before she died,
she whispered a name.
:23:05
Sebastian.
:23:23
Mr. Barnard.
:23:25
Dona.
:23:26
May I speak with you?
:23:28
Yes, of course.
:23:30
How is your brother?
:23:31
Better, thank you.
Dr. Leon is staying with him.
:23:37
I have come to ask you
to please believe him, Mr. Barnard.
:23:41
He has told you the truth.
:23:44
Has he?
:23:46
Yes. And not telling you before...
:23:49
...he only meant to spare you pain.
:23:52
He is a good man, Mr. Barnard...
:23:55
...a kind and gentle man...
:23:57
...and I know that he adored
your sister.
:24:05
I would like to believe him,
Dona Medina...
:24:09
...but I find it very difficult
to do so.
:24:12
There is something about him
I cannot help at sense...
:24:16
...kind of fearful tension that...
:24:20
I am sorry...
:24:22
...but an air of
definite guilt.
:24:24
Of course he suffers from guilt
Mr. Barnard...
:24:28
...because of what our father did...
:24:30
...because of what happened to
Elizabeth.
:24:33
Perhaps it will help you
to understand...
:24:36
...if I tell you something
that happened to Nicholas...
:24:39
...when he was just a boy.
:24:41
One day, while Nicholas was
playing...
:24:46
...in a lower corridor...
:24:51
He had been forbidden by
our father...
:24:53
...to enter this chamber at any time.
:24:57
The curiosity of youth, however...
:24:59
...overcame his fear of challenging
our father's discipline.
