If he shows signs of mental illness,
he's hidden away in a closet.
1:39:04
- Shut away, until it's too late.
- Dr. Willard, a Mr. Graham...
1:39:07
is waiting in your office to see you.
1:39:09
All right. Thanks, Miss Pullie.
1:39:14
- Dr. Willard.
- Yes, sir.
1:39:16
My name is Dean Graham.
1:39:17
- You telegraphed me about my wife.
- Yes, how do you do?
1:39:20
Won't you sit down, please?
1:39:24
Doctor, I've never given way to emotion.
1:39:26
But you can imagine my state of mind.
1:39:28
Yes, of course I can.
1:39:30
May I see her?
1:39:31
Yes.
1:39:33
She won't recognize you though.
1:39:35
I must know her condition, Doctor.
Tell me everything you know.
1:39:38
Mr. Graham, it's a clear case of psychosis.
1:39:41
- Completely unbalanced.
- You mean she's insane.
1:39:45
Yes, if you insist on using that term.
1:39:47
- Is it hopeless?
- No, it isn't.
1:39:50
As a matter of fact,
I intend to try and restore her.
1:39:52
It will take many months.
1:39:54
But there's every reason to believe
that someday she'll be herself.
1:39:58
Thank God.
1:39:59
Mr. Graham, I want you to follow me
very closely now.
1:40:02
We human beings act according
to certain patterns of behavior.
1:40:07
Sometimes,
why exactly we don't know yet...
1:40:10
the pattern is broken.
1:40:12
The wires are crossed.
1:40:14
The mind cannot evaluate, judge...
1:40:17
or even function properly.
1:40:20
Shock follows shock,
until eventually the mind gives way.
1:40:25
The brain loses control
and the body sinks into coma.
1:40:30
Then, in a biblical sense...
1:40:33
we might say that such a person
is possessed of devils.
1:40:36
And, it is the psychiatrist
that must cast them out.
1:40:41
Substantially...
1:40:42
this is what happened to Louise.
1:40:45
She was under great emotional strain
the night your first wife killed herself.
1:40:50
And it was a very simple matter
for her tortured mind...
1:40:53
to develop the delusion that she actually
helped Pauline to commit suicide.
1:40:58
And once the initial delusion
was established...
