: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.
:55:02
Your husband is reacting
to the legend of his ancestor.
:55:05
The attitude of the village,
the remarkable resemblance...
:55:08
between him and the figure
in the portrait...
:55:10
the atmosphere of the castle
are all working together...
:55:14
to cause this aberration.
:55:17
Then I've got to
find a way to help him.
:55:20
You're not going back in there?
:55:23
Yes. What else can I do?
Leave him?
:55:27
I would advise it.
:55:29
But, then, of course, you can't.
:55:31
No.
:55:33
Promise me one thing...
:55:35
that you'll contact me
if things get out of hand.
:55:38
Yes, I will, doctor.
Thank you.
:55:59
Why have you returned?
