"What did you just do?" "Did you hear me?" "What did you do?" " We're doing all we can with what is happening here." "We don't want any publicity" "And these, psychiatric drugs!" "Are being misused." "We used this many all last summer!" " You think we don't know that, Doctor?" "Just so it is clear." "Someone with authority, who is in charge, can decide what medicine to give to which patient." "When there is a new chief, they can do it their way." "Everything sucks." " This is a big mistake, lady." "You can't just create here any regime you wish!" "And you don't dare to use drugs as a punishment!" "Understand - these are sedatives!" " No way." "Only those inmates who are on your list are subjected to (punishment) showers." " 2 years ago there was only 4 girls, on that list, and now there are 35 of them!" " It increases." "What am I supposed to do." "Ask that governess, I am not responsible for everything here."

" Farova." "Farova Marika, well, I don't know..." "Yes, you've been placed in this institution, because you've been abused, there's a date." "Jesus Christ!" "Who has sent you?" " I came by myself, because I am not like the other girls here..." "Johanka, are you there?" "Yes, so come, here, quick!" "You should look after your pupils better one is just standing in front of me." "you'll do like this" "If you sin, if you do something wrong, you need to be punished." "Please, like this." "Wait." "I know that you're different." "Look, her hands are tied up." " Yes." "I will help you." "Johana?" "Where are you supposed to be?" "And who are you supposed to obey?" "Your tutors, us, or your friends?" "You will have to be punished, yes?" " What will you do to her?" " She will get a lesson." " Help me." " Me?" " You won't help me?" " Come on, what are you waiting for." "Sit down shoes come off, like this" "legs on the top like this" "let's take off that hair clip now sleep" "Good night." "Get up, you can make a call." "That's because you kept quiet, today she gave us the keys," " Why?" "She usually calls her mate in US" " And tonight she will not?" " Maybe as an patient." "Like this." "Hello, is that Hradec?" "I am Farova Marika." "I'm calling because I was supposed to go to you but I am in the Shanci Institute" "I was supposed to be with you, under social care..." "I know that it's late..." "But this is not right..." " Wait, be quiet!" "Wait." " What's going on?" " Prohazkova!" " Who?" " hurry up!" " Wait!" "You, hurry!" "Wine!" "Let's celebrate, let's drink!" " Mrs. Prohazkova, today I can't." " Oh come on, I am a cool girl" "I'd like some more" "What are those keys?" "Who do you need to call?" "Complain?" " Well, I wanted to call already in the morning about Farova, as you weren't here." "I took the papers" "I will do it now." "I'm a cool girl." "What a prick." " Boss, where did you learn English so well?" " We're sorry, don't be angry, we needed to make a phone call" "The phone is locked away, apparently every penny counts, but it's perfectly fine to call US, that's just great." " Very good, isn't it." " Yes it is." " But how come that you have such a tomcat only for yourself such a nice rooster, on the bed..." "You've hid yourself from me there?" "Come out!" "Farova, come out." "You can have a good bye drink with me" " I didn't want to..." " Don't worry." " Thanks," " Thanks." "Lets celebrate!" "Enough!" "Well..." "Marika..." "You have a rather vivid imagination." "The social institutions aren't haunted castles after all." " But she says that they're weird things happening." " There are all of these, various idiot children." " How can you talk in this way about your friends?" "I've checked here and no Farova is mentioned." " But how come?" " None." " I have to be on the list." " Maybe they forgot about you." " You know what, girls, go to your room, and then after dinner we will see." "Yes?" " Thank you." " Bye." " Good bye." "Hair up." " Yes." "Here." "Like this." "Do you like it?" " Yes." " You know what." "You can have this." " Thank you." "And what is this for?" " This?" "That Spray?" "Wait!" " I never believed in anything she said." "Bye.Thanks." "We're looking for a girl" " Go upstairs, then left." "Get in." " Where are we going?" "Where are you taking me?" "It would be nice if you could tell me where we're going." " They're looking for you." " But I am not going back there!" "I am not going back!" "Stop the car!" "Stop or I will jump!" "I will jump out!" " What are you doing!" "What are you doing!" "Close the door!" "You almost killed us." " Pity." " Have a seat." "Miss!" " Yes?" "Bring us two tonics, please." " Yes." "And coffee for your young lady?" " For my young lady?" " Yes." " Sure." "Vienna coffee, right, honey?" "You know what I think?" "That you're acting up a little bit." "If it was really as bad as you say, it would be known to everyone already or everyone would say what you do." " That's not true." "Not the same things happen to everyone there." " Do you know what Krocova did once?" "She..." "Better finish it." "Wait here." "Let's go, I still have some things to do." " Where?" " To meet a friend, come." "I'll just pay." "I'd like to pay." "Can I have these chocolates as well." "Thanks, bye." "Where is this." "You're a pig." " I changed my mind, I realized that this is better for everyone." " You mean better for you." " But listen, if you don't provoke, nobody will punish you." "You have to go back, you don't have a choice." "And what would I do with you?" "They'd lock me up." "There you have a comfortable space to live." "They're responsible for you." "Not me." "Do you understand?" "You can't do anything about it." "Here." "I will write you down my work number." "And if something happens, give me a ring, yes?" "Come." "Everything will go well." "And if something comes up, call me." "You will get used to it." "Wait, I almost forgot!" "Give it to them as a gift." "Give it to some teacher, you will know which one..." "They'll take it, you'll see." " Ok, bye." "Good luck." "Take care." "We need to solve this in a good and a positive way, not like it happened in Viechove..." "Ms. Prohazkova couldn't keep her authority over her patients, but on the other hand, she had a different approach to every girl and we need to design and establish one approach for everyone." "For example Miss Farova..." " Marika?" "She needs to be handled in some special way." "Ms. Sukova, think about it and write down in the punishment - list." " This is illogical." "We can't punish Miss Farova just because we'd like to." "She made an effort." "She came back." "And we must forgive her, it's our duty." "And in terms of your educational punishments..." " Our punishments?" " We are all responsible for the order here." " No?" " And Farova is here temporarily." " I know, but she will be treated exactly like the other girls." "I think that covers it." "Thank you all." "I'm sorry that I ran away, I brought you a gift." " Beg me." "Come on, have one." "Better that we have it anyway." "Go on, don't be afraid." "Thanks." "I got it from that gorgeous prince, in a great castle, everywhere was just chocolate." "and with that prince, under his spell and this was my first..." "Farova, what is going on here." "Don't you know that sweets are forbidden in rooms?" "What are you doing!" "Show it to me." "Show it to me!" "You're a pig." "Clean yourself up." "Can you hear me?" " No..." " No?" "!" "Just you wait you fucking shithead." "Close the tap." "Holy Jesus!" "It's Mrs. Sukova." "I mistook her for a patient." "Look at them now," "Anyone who eats sweets, won't have dinner." " Eat." "You've already been punished." "Let's go, hurry up." "Come on, quick, quick." "One, two, get down, one two!" "Run, run, properly!" "One, two!" "Hit the ground with your foot, one, two..." " Please, can you talk to Viktor?" "He said he'd call somewhere to transfer me from here..." " Look, I was in a big mess because of you, try to talk to Volfova, she decides about it now." "Not Viky, he is only a waiter." " What I am supposed to do if I can't write or call anyone." " You should be glad that we got you from Hradec, do you understand?" "If cops brought you here, you'd be locked in a cage for a month, right?" "Don't you know where you're supposed to be?" "What you're supposed to be doing?" " So here you have those two girls, Ms. Krocova." "You think that you can do as you wish?" "I keep my eye on you." "Let me go!" "She has a seizure !" "Let me go!" "I'd like to see what you've injected her with." "We couldn't find it." "She made such a mess here." " How long has she been tied up." "It's four hours since she had the seizure." " What is this from?" "Can't you recognize a bruise?" " Farova is one of the worst behaved patients here." "And we need to get through it." "You know it doctor." " It is stated in the Social Act that, every occurrence of physical force must be noted down." "It must be contained in the patient's personal file!" "Did you do it?" "!" " These things, it's always our fault!" "Why don't you take her home!" "They're not our children!" "If you ever have to deal with them," "You'll see what it's like." " Where are you going?" "Are you going to leave her like this?" "She needs to move now." "Who is this?" "It's me, Marika." "Please." "Please, come, I can't take it anymore." "I really don't know what to do anymore." "Please." " Tomorrow evening." " Tomorrow evening?" " Yes." " I will be waiting." "I'll show you something." " Go on." "I'll do it prettily." "How do I look?" "Very delicate." "Hide it among your things." "I'll hide it." "Bye." " Bye." "I just... a little, little bit..." "Show it to me." "Show me, don't be afraid." "Pretty." "Who taught you this?" " I found it." "I just..." "I found it." " Now you need to be locked up..." "Won't you tell me?" "It is mine!" "It's my make up!" "Hello!" "Wait." "Is Zdena here?" " No." " That's good." "Very good." "You called, so I am here." " What are you looking for?" "I look like a pig." "Wait a moment, I need to wash this off." "So what's up." " Aren't you afraid of them?" " Afraid of whom?" "Those here?" "You think I am afraid of them?" "That's a good joke." " Wait." "I only trust you." "I want to give you a note, a very important one, read it." " You have such sad eyes." "What are my eyes like?" " Like water." " Water?" " Were you surprised when I came today?" " No." "I believed you when you said that you will come." " You believed me." "You're a golden girl." "You're so beautiful." "If you were older..." "Someone's here!" "Our Farova has a young man here." "Let's admire her." " Good evening." " What are you doing here?" "Do you have something to do, here?" "Is that what you really like Viktor?" "Marika is one of the most severely ill girls in this institution." " That's not true, not true!" "Don't believe her." "She is a moron." "It's her!" "She is not normal!" " Wait." " I came to see Zdena." " Zdena is not here." "She had a morning duty." " Come Viktor." "I will see you out to the front door." " So... bye!" "That Marika, it wasn't her fault..." "I got in by the window." "It is my own trick, you see." " Well, you know..." " I guess it's difficult to recognize if someone is a nut-case." "Or not." "For example they call me a loon since my childhood." " What did she talk about with you?" "She must've said plenty of nonsense." " Who?" "That girl?" " She said some stuff, like she does not like it here, etc." "One cannot trust everything..." "Right?" " Did she ask you for any favors?" " No..." "Well, to take a note to her family." " Do you have it?" " No, she didn't give it to me." "Where is that note." " Hands." "It's mine!" "No, no!" "I always new that she's dangerous." "Come." "Come." "What is this bruise?" "You need to be strong." "The evil gets punished in the end." "Always." "You need to trust your gut." "You need to believe in yourself." "And you have to know that there is a higher power that can see us at all times." " What are you doing here?" "Don't you know?" "It's forbidden to be near her without the doctor's permission." "This is a violation of discipline." "Get lost!" "Quickly." "I am telling you to stop." "I've seen many things here but now, I've had enough." "You know that." "You will have an opportunity to say what you want." " Farova doesn't belong here." "You should be praying that this girl never starts talking..." "What kind of staff do you have." "Without qualifications!" "Tht's why the mortality rate is so high!" "And you're responsible!" " Enough!" " I'll demand Marika's adoption." "You know well that Marika never has been stripped of her legal rights." "And I will make a complaint about you." " Very well Ms. Sukova." "You're still here?" " Where are Farova's papers?" " I don't know." "But here is a letter." "What letter?" " From the district methodical center, that if we want to transfer her to a normal children's home in Hradec, we have to write some expert opinion." "Do you know her?" "Is it a difficult case?" " Quite." "Show me." "I will take care of this." "And where are you going, Mirek?" "Oh..." "To Madrid." "Imagine..." "To the conference about institutions for disabled/handicapped youths." "I will even hold a speech there." "That is something, right?" "Social institute in Sanci here, how can I help you?" "Yes, yes." " What is going on?" "What is happening?" " I don't know!" " Quickly." "Quickly!" "Hurry up, make sure everything is in order..." "Hide all the..." "Oh this is here..." "Good Afternoon." " Ms Sukova." "Is she here?" " Yes, it's me." " Security police." "Please come with us." "Next." "What do we do here?" "What is this!" "Let's go, quickly!" "Quiet." "It's better if we go." "Marika, do you hear me!" "?" "Open up!" "It's good that nothing has happened yet!" "But hurry up!" "Marika, listen, open the door so we can talk, you don't need to be afraid," "Open up nicely and then we will see, yes?" "We will go away, yes?" "Marika?" "yes?" "Open the door and you'll go to bed." "Open up by yourself, yes?" "We'll be far away." "Where are you?" " I am here!" "I am here, you heard me!" "And the girls are here as well!" "Come here, come here!" "Vera, Vera!" "Wait here!" "Stand here and don't do anything!" "Come quickly!" " What is happening!" "You need to get out of here or you'll die." "Understand?" "!" "Come on, come on!" "Looks like it's everyone here!" " Wait!" "Not everyone!" "There's still someone upstairs!" "We need to wait for everyone!" "Johanha, dear, please." "Stay here and don't go anywhere." "Understand?" "Stay here, yes?" "Be careful!" "Why don't you go there?" "So why did you come here?" "There's still people there." " Can't you see the bars in the window?" " The keys are in the cupboard!" "It is possible to get there!" " Go then if you're an idiot!" "Don't go there!" "Come down!" "Don't risk your life for these morons." "They won't get better anyway." "There are various kinds of them upstairs, aren't there." " What did you say?" "You idiot, they're screaming!" "Can't you hear!" "?" "Do you hear me?" "!" "Let's go upstairs!" "Let's go!" "During the fire of the institute in 1984, 26 patients died." "In the judicial report teachers Volfova and Prochazkova were sentenced to 1 year in prison as punishment for their abusive handling of patients."
