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.

:54:02
But it kept happening.
:54:04
What kept happening?
:54:06
This... change.
:54:10
I'm so afraid.
I've never seen him like this.

:54:14
Mrs. Ward, I want you to tell me
exactly what has happened...

:54:18
since your arrival in Arkham.
:54:22
- I have him now.
- Are you sure?

:54:25
Charles Dexter Ward is dead.
:54:27
- Then we can begin our work.
- Not quite yet.

:54:30
There are a few little things
I must do first.

:54:33
Can't you forget what happened?
:54:35
Forget?
:54:37
Forget that my flesh
was burned from my bones...

:54:39
while I was yet alive? No.
:54:42
No, this village will pay
for its crime, just as I vowed.

:54:45
- But the work.
- The work?

:54:48
There can be no work
without my knowledge.

:54:50
We've waited 110 years.
We can wait a bit longer.

:54:57
I'm not an alienist...
:54:59
but there can be little doubt
as to what's happening.
