1:02:03
is the truly disturbed one,
1:02:06
I think they will find that
Danielle, who is so sweet,
1:02:11
so responsive, so normal,
1:02:15
as opposed to her sister,
1:02:18
can only be so
because of her sister.
1:02:21
- Bonjour, Dominique.

This was the last interview
the conjoined twins would ever give.
1:02:29
That night, the doctors
were forced by nature...
1:02:32
to perform an operation
they had hoped to avoid.
1:02:35
Late the next day, the institute
announced the successful separation.
1:02:39
Dominique and Danielle,
1:02:42
once one, would now
stand each alone.
1:02:47
- Well, what do you think?
- That's an extraordinary
tape, Mr. McLennen.
1:02:52
Now, I tried
to do a follow-up,
1:02:55
but the institute was closed to me
even as a friend of the twins.
1:02:58
- Why was that?
- Well, all I could find out
at the time was that...
1:03:01
after the operation there
had been some complications.
1:03:04
- What sort of complications?
- I never did get
any official information,
1:03:08
so I slipped 20 bucks to one of the
suture nurses, and she told me that...
1:03:12
Dominique Blanchion had died
on the operating table.
