Part 3/7:
Five years down the line, Knock finds himself in the small village of Saint-Maurice, taking over the practice of the retiring Dr. Parpalaid. His arrival stirs curiosity; he advertises free consultations, quickly gaining the distrustful eye of Priest Lupus. Undeterred, Knock begins manipulating the villagers' fears to profit from their ailments, forging an unholy alliance with Mr. Mousquet, the local pharmacist, to inflate their business by creating unnecessary hysteria about health.
