:55:01
but there's been a lot of talk.
The whole thing's getting out of hand.
:55:04
A pretty scene, half the island
crowding into the courtroom...
:55:07
to watch our dirty linen
get a public scrubbing.
:55:09
Wait a bit, Wes.
Let's talk this over with the...
:55:10
Talk it over! Talk now, Paul,
and tell them that you're not responsible...
:55:14
that every bit of this doesn't rest squarely
on your shoulders.
:55:19
If you'll be good enough
to take me to the Commissioner, Doctor.
:55:22
I think there'll be no need
of an investigation.
:55:25
But why, Mrs. Rand?
What could you have to tell him?
:55:28
Jessica is not insane.
:55:30
Please take me to the Commissioner.
:55:32
I can explain the whole thing to him.
:55:33
Mother, what are you trying to say?
:55:36
She is dead.
:55:38
Now, Mrs. Rand.
:55:40
She is dead...
:55:41
living and dead.
:55:43
Mrs. Rand, you're not seriously trying
to tell me that my patient is a zombie?
:55:47
I'm not mad.
:55:49
It's true.
:55:51
- I did it.
- Mother.
:55:53
Wesley, let me explain.
:55:55
I wanted to so often. Now I have to.
:56:00
Betsy, tell them about the houmfort,
tell them what you saw there.
:56:06
You must, Betsy,
they'll have to believe you.
:56:09
Mrs. Rand was at the houmfort...
:56:11
but there's nothing wrong with that.
:56:13
She's gone there for years...
:56:14
trying to take care of those people,
to help them.
:56:16
I think I understand.
:56:18
I've often talked a little voodoo
to get medicine down a patient's throat.
:56:22
But it was more than that, Doctor.
I entered into their ceremonies.
:56:27
I pretended I was possessed by their gods.
:56:31
But what I did to Jessica...
:56:34
It was when she wanted to go away
with Wesley.
:56:37
That night, I went to the houmfort.
:56:39
I kept seeing her face smiling
because she was beautiful enough...
:56:42
to take my family in her hands
and tear it apart.
:56:46
The drums, the chanting, the lights.
:56:49
I heard a voice speaking
in the sudden silence...
:56:54
my voice.
:56:56
I was speaking to the houngan.
:56:59
I was possessed.
