:09:00
Who is he?
:09:01
Thomas. He's a really strong fighter.
:09:05
Have you thought of me?
:09:08
Yes.
:09:10
I've thought of you so often.
:09:13
All the time, my beloved.
:09:17
You know what?
:09:18
Granddad and I had a men's night out
at the fair.
:09:22
Granddad told me.
:09:24
You know,
he's not very well right now.
:09:28
His tummy hurts.
:09:29
I'll take him to the hospital tonight.
:09:32
We won't be able
to celebrate his birthday together.
:09:36
You're not upset?
:09:38
I'll get my impedimenta.
:09:41
No problem.
:09:42
Thomas' parents are delighted
to have Elias.
:09:46
That's good.
:09:49
Can't his father look after him?
:09:51
His father's dead.
:09:57
I'm sorry.
Elias never said.
:10:00
He died before he was born.
:10:02
He's had stomach pains
for a few months now.
:10:07
I arrived in Grenoble this morning.
:10:10
Any prior history?
:10:12
Has he ever had an operation?
Any illnesses?
:10:15
I don't think so.
:10:17
Does he smoke?
:10:18
A little.
:10:19
- Drink?
- Very little.
:10:21
My father's always anxious
on finishing a book.
:10:25
A perforated ulcer, maybe,
:10:27
or acute colicystitis.
:10:28
There's a risk of peritonitis.
:10:31
I can't tell from the X-rays.
:10:33
So it's best to operate
as soon as possible.
:10:36
Tonight?
:10:41
I had to be in Paris tomorrow,
but yes.
:10:44
It's common enough.
:10:45
You will be.
:10:51
Did you fetch Elias?
:10:52
Of course.
He's staying with a friend.
:10:56
That's good.
:10:57
And I can stay with you.
:10:59
I'm sorry.
