:17:03
My dear chap, do you knoW What this is?
:17:05
Have you any idea? Where did you find it?
:17:08
In the Winthrop house.
:17:13
Oh...
:17:16
This is the original Arabic text.
:17:19
There hasn't been one of these extant
since the Cotton Mather one.
:17:22
- And that disappeared in...
- 1688.
:17:25
1688.
:17:27
This, Professor, is the same copy.
I'd hate to calculate the fines due on it.
:17:32
You're absolutely right. It is.
:17:34
There are the missing pages.
:17:36
Cotton Mather didn't even entrust
the university With the complete copy.
:17:41
- Who did the annotations?
- Oh, probably Mather.
:17:45
- I've no idea Who did the English.
- Joshua Winthrop?
:17:49
Yes, possibly Winthrop.
:17:51
He must have borroWed the book
and it Was never returned.
:17:55
I believe Joshua Winthrop created the
creature of these legends using this book.
:18:01
Yes.
:18:04
Yes, it is possible.
:18:06
That's Why We have to go there.
We have to find this thing and prove it's real.
:18:10
Wait a minute, Carter.
:18:12
If this thing is alive,
it could be very dangerous.
:18:16
Something happened
at the Winthrop house last night.
:18:20
Four Miskatonic University students
Were killed.
:18:23
They Were killed, I believe, by this creature.
:18:26
Good heavens.
:18:29
But it Would be most improper
to interfere With the police investigation.
:18:34
- So We should turn this over to them?
- Are you mad?!
:18:38
Sshh!
:18:40
Have you any idea of the damage
that could result
:18:43
if this book fell into the Wrong hands?
:18:45
No, no, no. It must be locked up safe
in the university vaults
:18:49
and kept aWay
from the prying eyes of the public.
:18:52
It should be entrusted only in the hands
of scholars of...integrity and probity.
:18:59
You are the most qualified scholar I knoW
