No problem, happy to help.
But have to warn you, there is no rescue scene that I am aware of. The cut from Terese hearing Louis in the shower to the sudden jump forward several days or weeks later where Irene is accusing Terese of meeting with Louis is, I believe, how the movie played out in the original version. In fact, I think this was done because, in many ways, Louis and his relationship with his mother and the girls is more of a subplot, with the main plot being the sexual repression that Mdme Forneau lays on the girls of the school.
Of course, by the end, the subplot weaves into the main plot in a sinister and shocking way, but it seems to me the director wants to keep the focus on Terese, Forneau and Irene through most of the film, and extended sequences with Terese and Luis would have been unnecessary and detracted from the main storyline.
Plus, I think the performance of Teresa Galbo and John Moulder Brown was so very good, the viewer really needs to see only that one scene to understand that these are two lonely souls searching for one friend in the world, and this has built a special bond between them. Other than the ending, I think that scene where Terese goes to say goodbye to Louis is the most effective in the whole film.
