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...

1:41:01
her present condition
was almost inevitable.

1:41:04
I see.
1:41:06
Doctor.
1:41:07
Since, apparently,
she has told you all this...

1:41:10
I presume you know
about David Sutton, too.

1:41:13
Yes, Mr. Graham, I do.
1:41:15
- There'll be a trial, of course.
- Of course.

1:41:18
I can't predict the outcome.
1:41:21
But Louise is neither mentally nor morally
responsible for any of her actions.

1:41:26
Whether or not a jury will understand that
is beyond my control.

1:41:31
And now, may I see her?
1:41:33
Yes, Mr. Graham, come with me.
1:41:54
She looks almost happy.
1:41:57
Yes, she is, in a way.
1:41:59
There are no problems
in her private world.
