Mrs. Ward!
1:06:07
I'm sorry, doctor.
1:06:11
It was a stupid thing to do.
1:06:13
Yes, it was.
How are you, doctor?

1:06:18
Excellent, thank you.
1:06:20
Glad to hear it.
This is a pleasant surprise.

1:06:23
- What brings you here?
- Nothing in particular.

1:06:26
- Just looking in?
- That's right. Do you mind?

1:06:30
Mind? No. On the contrary.
I'm delighted...

1:06:33
and so is my wife.
Aren't you, my dear?

1:06:37
Here. A little glass of wine
will make you feel better.

1:06:41
I don't want any.
1:06:42
The doctor and I are going to
have a little chat.

1:06:45
So you will just stay
here and rest, eh?

1:06:50
There you are. Come, doctor.
1:06:57
- She sent for you, of course.
- No, as I was...

1:06:59
There's no need to lie, doctor.
1:07:02
In a way, I'm glad. I've been
terribly upset about her.

1:07:05
This house has
a strange effect on her.

1:07:09
How do you mean?
1:07:10
You saw how she acted
a moment ago.

1:07:12
That sort of thing.
1:07:14
Fits of depression,
anger, hallucinations.

1:07:18
I hoped it would pass,
but she gets worse every day.

1:07:21
I see.
1:07:23
I suppose she told you
how... l've begun to change?

1:07:27
Yes.
1:07:29
Part of the pattern.
1:07:31
I scarcely recognize her
anymore, doctor. My own wife.

1:07:34
What do you want me to do?
1:07:38
Take her back to Boston.
Get her out of this house.

1:07:41
Why don't you?
1:07:44
She wouldn't permit it.
1:07:46
She fears me.
Can't you understand?

1:07:49
Yes, I think I can.
1:07:51
- Then you will help?
- I shall try.

1:07:55
Thank you. I appreciate it.
1:07:58
But remember... discretion.
