1:11:00
It seems he's bewitched.
1:11:02
You know, broomsticks and all that.
Thinks he's being followed by something.
1:11:06
Apparently,
he's going to die tomorrow night.
1:11:08
- Does he say so?
- Well, not exactly, sir.
1:11:10
There's a young lady with him,
a Miss Harrington.
1:11:13
Apparently, her uncle
went through the same thing.
1:11:15
Thought he was being followed
by something or other.
1:11:18
Thought he was going to die
on a certain night at 1 0:00.
1:11:20
Did he?
1:11:21
That's the thing that's
got me puzzled, sir. He did.
1:11:28
You look angry.
1:11:30
Maybe that's because I am.
1:11:32
- With me, for bringing you here?
- No. At myself...
1:11:36
for not realizing
what their attitude was bound to be.
1:11:40
Look, Joanna,
let me tell you something about myself.
1:11:45
When I was a kid, I used to walk
down the street with the other kids.
1:11:48
When we'd come to a ladder,
they'd all walk around it.
1:11:51
I'd walk under it, just to see
if anything would happen.
1:11:55
Nothing ever did.
When they'd see a black cat...
1:11:58
they'd run the other way
to keep it from crossing their path.
1:12:01
But I didn't,
and all this ever did for me...
1:12:04
was make me wonder why...
1:12:06
why people could get so panicky
over absolutely nothing at all.
1:12:10
I've made a career studying it...
1:12:12
maybe just to prove one thing...
1:12:15
that I'm not a superstitious sucker
like about 90 percent of humanity.
1:12:19
But what did you
run from in the woods?
1:12:21
It was a trick gadget that Karswell
had rigged up to frighten me away...
1:12:25
and I fell for the bait
like an idiot.
1:12:28
But he told you himself not
to go back through the trees.
1:12:31
That's good psychology.
1:12:33
The same as he used when he had
your sweet old Mrs. Karswell...
1:12:36
plant the story
about his being away.
1:12:39
Don't bother about him.
1:12:41
He thinks I'm crazy anyway.
I'm beginning to think so myself.
1:12:45
Allowing myself to be stampeded
like this into a state of hysteria...
1:12:48
I suppose you mean by me.
1:12:51
I didn't say you were
doing it deliberately.
1:12:52
But that's what you meant.
Good night, Dr. Holden.
