Mrs. Ward.
:52:17
Doctor, you almost missed us.
We were just leaving.
:52:20
Very wise decision, particularly
under the circumstances.
:52:23
What do you mean?
Did something happen?
:52:25
I'm afraid so.
:52:27
In fact, I was
on my way to warn you...
:52:30
but it doesn't matter now.
:52:31
Doctor, please,
I'd like to know.
:52:34
There was a rather ugly
occurrence last night.
:52:36
- In Arkham?
- In the cemetery.
:52:39
A grave was dug up
and a body stolen.
:52:42
Nobody knows who did it,
but the people...
:52:44
as you might well imagine,
are blaming it on your husband.
:52:47
Why?
:52:48
The grave that was opened was
that of Hester Tillinghast...
:52:51
Joseph Curwen's mistress.
:52:56
And they think Charles...
:52:59
What's wrong with those people?
:53:02
They're stupid to the marrow
of their bones.
:53:06
You know who robbed that grave,
don't you, doctor?
:53:08
- No.
- They did.
:53:10
They?
:53:11
Weeden and his dirty
little friends.
:53:13
- Why would they do that?
- Why? Isn't it obvious?
:53:17
To frighten me.
To drive me away from my home.
:53:21
It's a possibility...
:53:24
But you don't think I did it,
do you, doctor?
:53:26
No, but it's a good thing
you're leaving, all the same.
:53:32
But I'm not leaving.
:53:34
Charles, you promised.
:53:36
You can go back
to that village, doctor.
:53:38
You can go back
and tell those people...
:53:40
that Charles Dexter Ward
has decided to stay.
:53:50
How long has he been like this?
:53:54
It started the first night...
:53:58
just for a little while,
and then he was himself again.
