0:00:56 > 0:00:59I walked with a zombie. SHE LAUGHS
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Does seem an odd thing to say.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Had anyone said that to me a year ago,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I'm not at all sure I would have known what a zombie was.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I might have had some notion that they were strange and frightening,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14even a little funny.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- It all began in such an ordinary way...- You're single?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Yes.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Where were you trained?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Memorial Hospital, here in Ottawa.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Now, this last question's a little irregular, Miss Connell.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32I don't know quite how to begin. Do you believe in witchcraft?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Well...! They didn't teach it at Memorial Hospital,
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- but I had my suspicions about the Directress of Training.- Now, as to salary. It's quite good.
0:01:41 > 0:01:48- 200 a month.- That is good. I'd like to know a little bit more about the case.- I can't tell you much.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54- The patient is the wife of Mr Paul Holland, with whom we do much business.- Another interview...?- No.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59This is quite final. You see, Mr Holland is a sugar planter. He lives on St Sebastian in the West Indies.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- The West Indies?- That's not so bad. Sit under a palm tree,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07go swimming, take sun baths.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Palm trees...
0:02:13 > 0:02:16CREW CHANTS "O Marie Congo"
0:02:23 > 0:02:27'It seemed only a few days before I met Mr Holland in Antigua.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32'We boarded the boat for St Sebastian. It was all just as I'd imagined it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37'I looked at those great, glowing stars. I felt the warm wind on my cheek.
0:02:37 > 0:02:44'I breathed deep, and every bit of me inside myself said, "How beautiful!" '
0:02:44 > 0:02:45It's not beautiful...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50You read my thoughts, Mr Holland.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55It's easy to read the thoughts of a newcomer. Everything seems beautiful because you don't understand.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Those flying fish - they're not leaping for joy. They're jumping in terror.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water - it takes its gleam
0:03:05 > 0:03:10from millions of tiny dead bodies. The glitter of putrescence.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14There's no beauty here. Only death and decay.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17You can't really believe that.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Everything good dies here...
0:03:22 > 0:03:23even the stars...
0:03:31 > 0:03:36'It was strange to have him break in on my thoughts. There was cruelty and hardness in his voice.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39'And yet something about him I liked.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41'Something clean and honest.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45'But hurt. Badly hurt.'
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Times gone, Fort Holland was a fort, and now, no longer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Holland's a most old family, miss.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20They brought the coloured folks to the island.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- The coloured folks and Ti-Misery. - Ti-Misery? What's that?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28A man, miss. An old man who lives in the garden at Fort Holland,
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- with arrows stuck in him and a sorrowful, weeping look on his black face.- Alive?
0:04:33 > 0:04:39No, miss. He's just the same as he was in the beginning. On the front side of an enormous boat.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- You mean a figurehead.- If you say, miss. And the enormous boat brought the Long Ago Fathers
0:04:45 > 0:04:49and the Long Ago Mothers of us all, chained to the bottom of the boat.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53They brought to you to a beautiful place, didn't they?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56If you say, miss. If you say.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Fort Holland. From the gate, it seemed strangely dream-like.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18The garden had life of its own. I was to know all the nooks and crannies of that great house.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22To love them or hate them according to what happened there...
0:05:22 > 0:05:25In that house, I was to hear a strange confession.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30A confession only madness could have wrung from the lips of a sane person.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36And yet it was in the same room with the candles lit that I made the discovery of my own love.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Knew happiness, deep through the heart.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42My room. I can still remember my delight.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Unpacking, getting ready for dinner.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48And yet all the while, I wondered at the stillness of Fort Holland.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51The fact that I saw no-one on the garden paths or in the rooms.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57KNOCK
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Yes?- Miss Connell? It's dinner.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, thank you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Miss Connell?- Yes?- I'm Wesley Rand.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Paul wanted me to introduce myself.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Seems we're dining by ourselves, Miss Connell. But I'll introduce you to everyone anyway.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Here in the master's chair sits the master, my half-brother Paul Holland.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- Oh, but you've met him already? - Yes. On the boat.- That chair in the corner is the particular property
0:06:32 > 0:06:36of Mrs Rand, mother to both of us, and much too good for either of us.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- Too wise, in fact, to live under the same roof. She prefers the village dispensary.- Oh, she's a doctor?- No.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- She just runs the place. She does everything else though. An amazing woman. You'd like her.- I do already!
0:06:46 > 0:06:52- That's my chair. And this is Miss Connell, who is beautiful. - Thank you. Who sits there?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55My brother's wife.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Here, here, this isn't cosy at all.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Makes me seem aloof, and I'm anything but that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- But you're an American. - I went to school in Buffalo. Paul went to school in England.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15Well, I wondered about your different accents. I'm still wondering about your names - Rand and Holland.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18We're half-brothers. Paul is mother's first child.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22When his father died, she married my father. Doctor Rand, the missionary.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25DISTANT DRUMMING
0:07:28 > 0:07:30The jungle drums.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Mysterious. Eerie.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39That's the work drum over at the sugar mill. St Sebastian's version of the factory whistle.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45It means that the sugar syrup is about ready to be poured. I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Nice of you to spend this time with me.- I wasn't missed. The only important man here's the owner.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Mr Holland?- Yes, the redoubtable Paul.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- He has the plantation and I, as you must have noticed, have all the charm.- Oh, I don't know.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- He spoke to me on the boat last night and I liked him very much.- Ah, yes. Our Paul.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Strong and silent and very sad.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Quite the Byronic character. Maybe I should cultivate it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Maybe you ought to go to the mill. - It'll wait.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I was just going to the mill.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Good night, Miss Connell. - Good night.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Have the servants made you comfortable?- Yes, thank you.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Looks very nice, Clement. I'll take it to Mrs Holland.- Can't I take it for you?- No, thank you.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Tomorrow's soon enough for you to start work.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42LOUD SOBBING
0:10:06 > 0:10:09SOBBING CONTINUES
0:10:51 > 0:10:53SOBBING STOPS
0:11:12 > 0:11:15BETSY: Mrs Holland?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Mrs Holland?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Mrs Holland?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I didn't mean to get you up, Mrs Holland.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Mrs Holland...!
0:11:47 > 0:11:48BETSY SCREAMS
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Jessica!
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- Take Mrs Holland to her room, Alma.- Come, Miss Jessica. Come with Alma.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I heard someone crying. A woman.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- A woman crying? There's been no crying here.- Mr Paul?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Yes, there was crying tonight. It was Alma.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Her sister was brought a-birthing. - Thank you, Clement.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53(Clement? I'm gonna stay with Miss Jessica in case the nurse-lady takes to roamin' again.)
0:12:53 > 0:12:59- (Don't cry no more. It frightened Miss Betsy.)- She didn't sooth me, hollering around in the tower!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Sssshhhhh!
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- Why was the maid crying?- I'm not sure I can make you understand.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Do you know what this is?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- The figure of St Sebastian.- Yes.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14But it was once the figurehead of a slave ship.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18That's where our people came from. From the misery and pain of slavery.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21For generations, they found life a burden.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26That's why they still weep when a child is born, and make merry at a burial.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31I've told you, Miss Connell, this is a sad place.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Good morning, miss.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Thank you for waking me.
0:13:53 > 0:13:59I didn't want to frighten you out of your sleep. That's why I touched you farthest from your heart.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Oh, don't get up, miss.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I brought your breakfast. Just like I do for Miss Jessica.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- But I'm Miss Jessica's nurse, Alma. You don't have to do that for me. - I know, miss. But I like to do it.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15I like to tend for Miss Jessica and I want to tend for you. Settle back, and I'll make sure you're comfy.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21- Thank you.- Miss Jessica used to say this is the only way for a lady to break her fast -
0:14:21 > 0:14:29in bed, with a lacy cushion to bank her head up. If you'd only seen her, Miss Connell. She looked so pretty.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33She must have been beautiful. What happened to her, Alma?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36She was very sick and then she went mindless, miss.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Well, we'll see if we can't make her well, Alma. You and I.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45I do my best - every day I dress her just as beautifully as if she was well.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It's just like dressing a great big doll.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- What's this?- A puff-up, I call it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54But Miss Jessica always says "brioche".
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Looks like a lot of breakfast. I don't know if I'll get away with it!
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- I made it clear in my letter. This is not for a frightened girl. - I'm not a frightened girl.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- That's hard to believe after what happened last night.- If I were as timid as you think, Mr Holland,
0:15:10 > 0:15:16- I wouldn't have gone to the tower in the first place.- And what's so alarming about the tower?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Nothing really, but... You must admit, it's an eerie sort of place.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- So dark.- Surely nurses aren't afraid of the dark?- Of course not.
0:15:24 > 0:15:30Well, I used to be afraid of the dark when I was a child, but I'm not afraid any more.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Frankly, it was something of a shock to see my patient that way for the first time.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42Nobody had told me Mrs Holland was... a mental case.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- A mental case?- I'm sorry.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Why should you be? My wife is a mental case.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Please remember that, Miss Connell.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Particularly when some of the foolish people on the island start regaling you with local legends.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59You'll find superstition a contagious thing.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Some people let it get the better of them.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I don't think you will.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06No.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Come along. I'll introduce you to Dr Maxwell and your patient.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16- I can't tell you how glad I am to have you here, Miss Connell. - I'll enjoy working with you, Doctor.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I have an enormous respect for nurses, but most of them scare me.
0:16:19 > 0:16:26- I feel them behind my back, looking at their training manuals, noting my mistakes.- I'll keep tabs on you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30She makes a beautiful zombie, doesn't she?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I knew Jessica. We were friends.
0:16:33 > 0:16:39- Sometimes it's better for a doctor to laugh than pull a long face when things are hopeless.- Yes, I know.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44But I don't know about zombies, Doctor. Just what is a zombie?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46A ghost, the living dead.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's also a drink.
0:16:48 > 0:16:54- I tried one once. But there wasn't anything dead about it.- We've a more serious problem, Miss Connell.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- You want to know about your patient, don't you?- Please.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I'll try to put it simply.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Mrs Holland had a tropical fever.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Very severe.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08We might say that portions of the spinal cord were burned out by this fever.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12The result is what you see. A woman without any willpower.
0:17:12 > 0:17:18- Unable to speak or even act by herself, though she will obey simple commands.- Does she suffer?
0:17:18 > 0:17:23I don't know. I'd rather think of her as a sleepwalker who can never be awakened.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Feeling nothing, knowing nothing.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30There's very little we can do except keep her physically comfortable,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- light diet, some exercise. - She can never be cured?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I've never heard of a cure.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Could you give me some details of treatment and diet?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I prepared these for you last night.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I'll drop by in a day or so to see how you're getting on.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55You didn't find your patient so frightening in the daylight, did you?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Mrs Holland must have been very beautiful.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Many people thought her beautiful.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05Tell me, Miss Connell. Do you consider yourself pretty?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- I don't know. I suppose so. - And charming?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- I've never given it much thought. - Don't.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17You'll save yourself a great deal of trouble and other people a great deal of unhappiness.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Betsy! Where are you going?
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- It's my day off.- What can you do with a day off in St Sebastian? - I was just beginning to wonder.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52- Aren't there shops, restaurants and things here?- "And things" is a better description. I'll show you the town.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Don't you have to work?- By a curious coincidence, it's my day off, too.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01# Some talk of Alexander
0:19:01 > 0:19:04# And some of Hercules
0:19:04 > 0:19:08# Of Hector and Lysander And such as these
0:19:08 > 0:19:10# But of all the world's great heroes
0:19:10 > 0:19:16- # There's none that can compare... # - Say, Joseph. Bring me another. I have to keep the lady entertained.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- Must be hard work entertaining me if it requires six ounces of rum. - Six ounces?- Higher mathematics.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Two ounces to a drink, three drinks, six ounces.- Well, how did you know there were two ounces in a drink?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm a nurse. I always watch people when they pour something.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I watched Ti-Joseph and it was exactly two ounces.
0:19:31 > 0:19:39# There was a family that lived on the isle Of St Sebastian a long, long while
0:19:39 > 0:19:42# The head of the fam'ly was a Holland man
0:19:42 > 0:19:45# And the younger brother, his name was Rand
0:19:45 > 0:19:48# Ah, woe! Ah, me... Shame and sorrow for the family... #
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- Did I tell you the story about the little mule on the plantation?- Wait a minute, I want to hear this.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58# The Holland man, he kept in a tower A wife as pretty as a white flower
0:19:58 > 0:20:01# She saw the brother and she stole his heart...
0:20:01 > 0:20:05# And that's how the badness and the trouble start... #
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Ti-Malice, why do you wish trouble on me? You saw Mr Rand go in there. Why don't you tell me?
0:20:13 > 0:20:19Apologize...that's what I'll do. Creep in just like a little fox and warm myself in his heart.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I wouldn't have listened, Wesley, if I'd realized. I...
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Mr Rand? I've come to apologize. - All right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Just an old song I picked up somewhere.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Don't know who did make it up. - All right. All right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Some of these singers on this island, they tattle-tale on anybody. Believe me, Mr Rand,
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- I never would sing that song if I'd known you were with a lady. - Get out of here!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Don't let it bother you so, Wesley.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47You heard what he sang.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53- Shocked?- I just wish I hadn't heard. - Why? Everybody else knows it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:59Paul saw to that. Sometimes I think he planned the whole thing from the beginning just to watch me squirm.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- That doesn't sound like him. - That's right. He's playing the noble husband for you, isn't he?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Well, that won't last long.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I think we'd better go now. Will you take me home?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13One of these days he'll start on you, just like he did on her.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16"You think life's beautiful, don't you, Jessica?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20"You think you're beautiful, don't you, Jessica?"
0:21:20 > 0:21:24What he could do to that word "beautiful"...
0:21:24 > 0:21:27That's Paul's great weapon, words.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32He uses them like other men use their fists.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Wes?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Wes, it's time we started home.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52# The wife and the brother They want to go
0:21:52 > 0:21:56# But the Holland man, he tell them no
0:21:56 > 0:22:00# The wife fall down and the evil came
0:22:00 > 0:22:06- # And it burned her mind in the fever flame. Ah, woe! Ah, me... # - We must get back to Fort Holland.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10# Shame and sorrow for the family
0:22:10 > 0:22:14# Her eyes are empty and she cannot talk
0:22:14 > 0:22:17# And a nurse has come to make her walk
0:22:17 > 0:22:21# The brothers are lonely and the nurse is young
0:22:21 > 0:22:24# And now you must see that my song is sung
0:22:24 > 0:22:28# Ah, woe! Ah, me!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31# Shame and sorrow for the family!
0:22:31 > 0:22:38# Ah, woe! Ah, me! Shame and sorrow for the family! #
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- I think you need some help. - I'm afraid so.- Ti-Joseph?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Get Mr Rand on to his horse and start him toward the fort.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54- Oh, but he's in no condition to ride. He couldn't even sit in the saddle. - Don't worry about a sugar planter.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Give him a horse and he'll ride to his own funeral.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05I really intended going out to the fort and meeting you long before this, Miss Connell.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I am Mrs Rand, Wesley's mother.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Oh, Mrs Rand... - Now, don't tell me you're sorry that I should meet you this way.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I'm even a little glad that Wesley's difficulties brought us together.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21- Believe me, he doesn't do this often. It's...- Nonsense. I know Wesley's been drinking too much lately.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I know a great deal more about what goes on at the fort than you'd think.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27And I know all about you.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30That you're a nice girl. Competent.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32And kind to Jessica.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34The fort needs a girl like you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Come, I must get you back there.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I'll walk back with you and stay the night.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40The change will do me good.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Thank you, Mrs Rand.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I think you're every bit as nice as Wesley says you are.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46So, he says I'm nice?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48He's a nice boy, too, Miss Connell.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52A very nice boy. I'm worried about his drinking though.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- You could do me a great favour. - I'd love to.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Use your influence with Paul.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Ask him to take the whisky decanter off the dinner table.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- I have no influence with Mr Holland. - Try it. You may have more than you think.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13No, it's not a drought, Bayard.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Rain's just a little late, that's all.- I've seen the drought before, Mr Holland.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Cane's too dry. It's dangerous that way.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Good morning.- Good morning.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26I heard about your little misadventure yesterday. On your first day off, too.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Oh, I had a good time, up to a point.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Wesley can be very entertaining. - Yes, he can. But I was wondering.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- If you could leave the whisky decanter off the table...- It's always stood there, Miss Connell.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I can remember it in my grandfather's time. And my father's.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45But it must be an added temptation to Wesley. And... though your brother's not an alcoholic yet, Mr Holland,
0:24:45 > 0:24:51- I can tell you as a nurse that it won't be long.- I engaged you to take care of my wife, not my brother.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I'm afraid the decanter will have to stay where it is.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06DISTANT HORNS AND DRUMS
0:25:06 > 0:25:10There they go.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Bayard told me they were going to ask Damballa for rain.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Fields are dry as dust.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17But what is it, Mr Holland?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It's a big seashell. A conch.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23They make a sort of bugle out of it to call the faithful to the Houmfort.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- But I don't know what a Houmfort is. Or a Damballa.- It's voodoo. The Houmfort is the temple.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- And Damballa is one of the gods. The big Papa God.- You don't seem very disturbed by it.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- I thought voodoo was something everyone was frightened of.- I'm afraid it's not very frightening.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39They sing and dance and carry on.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43And then, as I understand it, one of the gods comes down and speaks through one of the people.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46For some reason, they always pick a night like this.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49This hot wind even sets me on edge.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Clement. You've forgotten the decanter.
0:25:52 > 0:26:00- I think from now on, Wes, we'll try serving dinner without it.- That's odd. What are you trying to do?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Impress Miss Connell?- You'd make a better impression without whisky.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10- Thank you. You've always had such tender concern for me. And for Jessica.- Let's drop it, Wes.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16- Why?- It isn't considered polite to quarrel before ladies.- Oh, I see.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22Reserved and gentlemanly. You were so reserved and gentlemanly, so polite that night with Jessica.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- I remember...- Wes!
0:26:25 > 0:26:32Miss Connell, I think it would be better if I had Clement bring the rest of your dinner to your room.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44PIANO PLAYS Chopin's E Minor Etude
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- I heard you playing. I...- I often do.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I know what you went through tonight.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I kept thinking of what you said.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27That all good things died here, violently.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Why did you come in here?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I don't know.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39I wanted to help you and now that I'm here, I don't know how.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You have helped me.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45I want you to know that I'm sorry I ever brought you here.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48When I thought of a nurse, I thought of someone hard and impersonal.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I love Fort Holland.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And what you saw tonight...
0:27:54 > 0:28:00Two brothers set against each other and a woman driven mad by her own husband... Do you love that?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You didn't drive her mad.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Before Jessica was taken ill,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10there was a scene.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12An ugly scene.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17I told her she couldn't go. That I'd keep her here by force if necessary.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22You never knew Jessica as she was.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I think it will be best for all of us not to discuss this again.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Thank you. I know you meant to be kind.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46I don't know how their own love is revealed to other women.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Maybe in their sweethearts' arms, I don't know.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53To me, it came that night after Paul Holland had almost thrust me from the room.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Certainly from his life.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58I said, I love him.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Even as I said it, I knew he still loved his wife.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06And then because I loved him, I felt I had to restore her to him.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09To make her what she'd been before.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11To make him happy.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18All that you say comes to the same thing.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22You're asking me to pass a sentence of life or death on my wife.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28Insulin shock treatment is an extreme measure, as Miss Connell pointed out when she suggested it...
0:29:28 > 0:29:33- You admit that this is terribly dangerous. Why do you advise it? - I worked with it. I've seen cures.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38- It's at least a hope. - It's the very danger itself, Paul, that makes the cure possible.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Insulin produces a state of coma.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Then the patient is revived by a violent shock to the nerves.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47That shock can kill, but it can also cure.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54- I don't know. - It's a hard decision to make.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- But yours is only a technical responsibility.- Technical responsibility, real responsibility.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Question is, will she live or die?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04You're wrong, Mr Holland. It isn't a question of life or death.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Your wife isn't living. She's...
0:30:06 > 0:30:08She's in a world that's empty of joy and meaning.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11We have a chance to give her life back to her.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- Well?- She's alive. That's all.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- Don't take it so much to heart, Betsy.- I imagined it so differently.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42I've been waiting for hours, trying to imagine Jessica well again.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44And I come bringing you nothing.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Instead, you come bringing me sympathy, Betsy. And a generous heart.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Don't forget that. Don't call that nothing.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Very sad.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Very sweet.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04The noble husband and the noble nurse comforting each other cos the patient still lives.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I've been imagining, too, Paul.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Only I didn't have to wonder how I'd feel.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I knew.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I'm not in love with another woman.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26THEY GIGGLE Look at his little face!
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Betsy.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38I'll take it right away.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Oh, that's all right, Alma. Oh, is this your sister's baby?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Yes, Miss Betsy. This is little Ti-Victor and my sister Melisse.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Oh, I'm so glad I came out. I've been wanting to meet you, Melisse.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- More so, miss. - Oh, he's a wonderful baby. Beautiful.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- He's chosen you, miss. - That's what we say, Miss Betsy, when a baby first goes visiting.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- Those he smiles at will be his friends.- That makes me very proud.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Here, Ti-Victor.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05That's so you won't forget I'm your friend.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Thanks, Miss Betsy!
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It's nice to see people so happy.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- They're not always happy, Miss Betsy.- I suppose not.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Things so bad, nobody can help.
0:32:19 > 0:32:25- Not even Dr Maxwell.- Doctors and nurses can only do so much, Alma. They can't cure everything.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- Doctors that are people can't cure everything. - "Doctors that are people"?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32There are other doctors. Yes?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Other doctors. Better doctors.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Where?- At the Houmfort.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38That's nonsense, Alma.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40They even cure nonsense, Miss Betsy.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Mama Rose was mindless.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45I was at the Houmfort when the Houngan brought her mind back.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Was Mama Rose like Mrs Holland?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51No. She was mindless, but not like Miss Jessica.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53But the Houngan cured her.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Are you trying to tell me the voodoo priest could cure Mrs Holland?
0:32:57 > 0:33:02Yes, Miss Betsy. I mean that. The Houngan will speak to the rada drums
0:33:02 > 0:33:07and the drums will speak to Legba and Damballa. Better doctors.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Ti-Peter, how do you ever expect to get to Heaven
0:33:18 > 0:33:21with one foot in the voodoo Houmfort and the other in the church?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Ah, get along with ya.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30Some of this native nonsense. The Houngan has his prescription and Dr Maxwell and I have ours.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- You never talked about voodoo before, Mrs Rand.- Haven't I?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I suppose I take it for granted.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Just part of everyday life here.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- You don't believe in it? - A missionary's widow? Isn't very likely, is it?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Well, I don't mean "believe in it" like believing in a religion.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I mean, do you believe it has power?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Do you think it could cure a sick person?
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Frankly, my dear, I didn't expect anything like that from a nice level-headed girl like you.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00- What are you driving at?- I heard the servants talking about Mama Rose.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02She said she'd been "mindless".
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Her son drowned.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It affected her mind.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11The Houngan cured her by giving her a little practical psychology.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18What if I took Jessica to see him?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22You don't know what goes on at the Houmfort. It might be very dangerous to take her there.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Dangerous for both of you. These people are primitive.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Things that are natural to them might shock and horrify you.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32I'm not easily frightened.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34That may be the pity of it.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I'm going to the Houmfort, Alma.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22You go right from the mill to a sign in the cane.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Here, you turn and face a tree on the hill.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Walk toward it and keep walking.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Keep walking, Miss Betsy and you come to the crossroads.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36There's a guard there, Carre-Four.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37He keeps the crossroads.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41But he won't do you no harm when he sees the voodoo patches.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43He'll let you pass.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11CHANTING RESUMES
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Damballa, this woman is ill.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06- Mrs Rand?!- I knew you'd come.
0:42:06 > 0:42:12I couldn't let you go back without something. I came here to tell you again... Jessica cannot be cured.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14What are you doing here?
0:42:33 > 0:42:37And when my husband died, I was helpless. They disobeyed me.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41And, accidentally, I discovered the secret of how to deal with them.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43There was a woman with a baby.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Again and again I begged her to boil the drinking water.
0:42:47 > 0:42:54She wouldn't. Then I told her the god Shango'd kill the evil spirits in the water if she boiled it.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57From then on, she boiled the water.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59But that still doesn't explain why you're here.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Perhaps not. But I am here.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06It seemed so simple to let the gods speak through me.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I should have known there's no easy way to do good, Betsy.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45CROWD MURMURS
0:43:45 > 0:43:49- She doesn't bleed!- Zombie! - She doesn't bleed.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Get her back to the fort, Betsy.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56Do as I say. They won't hurt you.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05Leave them alone. Let them go.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Where have you been, Miss Connell?
0:44:29 > 0:44:32I wanted to help you.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Help me? How?
0:44:37 > 0:44:42I took Mrs Holland to the Houmfort. I thought they might cure her.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46There's no telling what you may have started with this insanity.
0:44:46 > 0:44:53- Because you wanted to give my wife back to me? Why should that mean so much to you?- You know why.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57You saw it the other night, at the piano.
0:44:57 > 0:45:02What I saw the other night, I could hardly believe, Betsy.
0:45:02 > 0:45:07I thought I was looking at a woman who had compassion for me.
0:45:07 > 0:45:13Who loved me. And yet you made that trip to the Houmfort to bring Jessica back to me.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18You, the nurse who's afraid of the dark.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23Yes.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27You think I love Jessica. Want her back.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29It's like you to think that.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31Clean, decent thinking.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36I wish it were true.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39Perhaps for your sake.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41DISTANT DRUMS POUND
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Mind me now, horse.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Come away from there.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56Are you ever stubborn, just like that old stableman at the Houmfort.
0:45:56 > 0:46:01Sticking your nose in places where it isn't wanted! Making trouble for everybody.
0:46:02 > 0:46:03Alma?
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Try it this way.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08Turn your back on him.
0:46:08 > 0:46:14See, that's the way it is with a horse. You can't look at him and lead him at the same time.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16Sounds sort of man-like, doesn't it?
0:46:16 > 0:46:22- Whose horse?- The police horse. - Police? I didn't know there was a policeman on the island.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27Oh, just this horse, Miss Betsy. When they asked the Commissioner if any policemen were wanted, he said,
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- "My horse is all the police we need on St Sebastian."- Commissioner?
0:46:30 > 0:46:32Yes, Miss Betsy.
0:46:32 > 0:46:38I expect there's some trouble. Not just little trouble like Mr Rand gets into when he's been drinking,
0:46:38 > 0:46:40but real, big trouble.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43You don't suppose it's because I took Mrs Holland to the Houmfort, do you?
0:46:43 > 0:46:49They haven't been talking loud enough for me to hear, but I've held this horse for coming on to an hour.
0:46:49 > 0:46:55And they been just talkin' and talkin'. I feel it's something very bad.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59Well, you have a horse to hold, Alma, and Mrs Rand has asked me to have a cup of tea with her.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Horse, you stand still.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06DRUMS POUND
0:47:34 > 0:47:37You're staying here with Jessica tonight, Betsy?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Mrs Rand thought it might be best.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40She's right.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44I've caused you so much trouble, Paul.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Oh, no. It was bound to come.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49As a matter of fact, that's why I'm here. I want to talk to you.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52Perhaps when you're finished in here you'll come into the garden?
0:47:52 > 0:47:56- Is it about this afternoon? I saw the Commissioner here. - Jeffries? Yes, he was here.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59He and Maxwell. They're in a great stew about it.
0:47:59 > 0:48:05The Houmfort won't stop drumming and dancing until they've finished their ritual tests on Jessica.
0:48:05 > 0:48:11Something of that sort. For their own safety, Jeffries and Maxwell want Jessica sent away to St Thomas.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13To the asylum.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- Might be best.- Maybe.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18But Wesley insists she stay here.
0:48:18 > 0:48:23- But he hasn't the right. - Oh, he hasn't any legal right, if that's what you mean.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26But he says that I'm responsible for Jessica's illness.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28That I deliberately drove her insane.
0:48:28 > 0:48:33- You couldn't have done that, Paul. - I don't know.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36I've gone over it and over it, and...I don't know.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26I want you out of it. I want you to go back to Canada, Betsy.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28- Why?- Because of Jessica.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Because of myself.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Because I don't want you to be made miserable and unhappy.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35- But I want to stay.- I'm afraid it's not what you want.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38I want you back in Canada.
0:49:38 > 0:49:43- As my employer, you have the right to dismiss me...- Don't, Betsy. You know that isn't what I mean.
0:49:43 > 0:49:48You remember the first night I saw you? You were looking at the sea.
0:49:48 > 0:49:54You were enchanted. And I felt I had to destroy that enchantment, make you see ugliness and cruelty.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58- You were trying to warn me. - No. I was trying to hurt you.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00It was the same way with Jessica.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04I had to hurt her. Everything she did or said made me lash out at her.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08That's why I want you to go. You see, Betsy...
0:50:10 > 0:50:15Since you've been here, I've seen how fine and sweet things can be
0:50:15 > 0:50:18between a man and a woman. How love can be calm and good.
0:50:18 > 0:50:23I'd rather not have that sort of love than have it and destroy it.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25You want me to leave?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27That's why I want you to go.
0:50:27 > 0:50:31It's no good for you to stay so long as I have this fear of myself.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22CROAKING
0:52:24 > 0:52:27SCREECHING
0:52:53 > 0:52:55Paul! Paul!
0:53:01 > 0:53:04What are you doing here?
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Get out of here.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Carre-Four!
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Carre-Four, go back.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29Paul...
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Let him go. Don't touch him. Don't try to stop him.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53I can send this off by the next boat.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57If you have any letters, you'd better get them ready, Betsy, to go with this parcel.
0:53:57 > 0:54:01- Any news I have can wait till I get home.- Be pretty stale by that time.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05Perhaps not, Mother. Betsy is leaving us.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07Why, Betsy,
0:54:07 > 0:54:08we can't lose you!
0:54:08 > 0:54:12We've grown to depend on you. I have, and I know Paul has.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Mother, Betsy has her reasons.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19I hope you won't feel I'm deserting you or think badly of me.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Think badly of you, Betsy?!
0:54:23 > 0:54:28- Dr Maxwell has some unpleasant news for us.- An accident at the mill?
0:54:28 > 0:54:33No, it's about Jessica. A result of our discussion the other day, I'm afraid.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37- What about her?- Well, in view of all the circumstances, some of the things Wesley's been saying,
0:54:37 > 0:54:42and the fact that one of the voodoo people got into your house last night,
0:54:42 > 0:54:47- the Commissioner's decided on a legal investigation.- So I'm on trial. - I wouldn't put it that way, but...
0:54:47 > 0:54:52- there's been a lot of talk. The whole thing's getting out of hand. - A pretty scene.
0:54:52 > 0:54:57- Half the island crowding into the courtroom to watch your dirty linen get scrubbed.- Let's talk this over.
0:54:57 > 0:55:03Talk it over?! Tell them that you're not responsible. That this doesn't rest squarely on your shoulders.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07If you'll be good enough to take me to the Commissioner, Doctor,
0:55:07 > 0:55:09I think there'll be no need of an investigation.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12But why, Mrs Rand?
0:55:12 > 0:55:15- What could you have to tell him? - Jessica is not insane.
0:55:15 > 0:55:20- Please, take me to the Commissioner. I can explain the whole thing to him.- Mother, what are you saying?
0:55:20 > 0:55:23She is dead.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25Now, Mrs Rand...
0:55:25 > 0:55:27She IS dead.
0:55:27 > 0:55:33- Living and dead.- Mrs Rand, you're not seriously trying to tell me that my patient is a zombie?
0:55:33 > 0:55:34I'm not mad.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36It's true.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39- I- did it.- Mother...
0:55:39 > 0:55:43Wesley, let me explain. I wanted to so often.
0:55:43 > 0:55:48Now, I have to. Betsy, tell them about the Houmfort.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Tell them what you saw there.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55You must, Betsy. They'll have to believe you.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58Well, Mrs Rand was at the Houmfort. But there's nothing wrong with that.
0:55:58 > 0:56:03- She's gone there for years, trying to take care of those people. To help them.- I think I understand.
0:56:03 > 0:56:09- I've talked a little voodoo to get medicine down a patient's throat. - But it was more than that, Doctor.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12I entered into their ceremonies.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14I pretended I was possessed by their gods.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17But what I did to Jessica...
0:56:17 > 0:56:21was when she wanted to go away with Wesley.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24That night, I went to the Houmfort.
0:56:24 > 0:56:30I kept seeing her face, smiling because she was beautiful enough to take my family and tear it apart.
0:56:30 > 0:56:33Drums, the chanting,
0:56:33 > 0:56:38the lights. I heard a voice speaking in the sudden silence.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41My voice.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44I was speaking to the Houngan.
0:56:44 > 0:56:51I was possessed. I told him the woman at Fort Holland was evil and asked him to make her a zombie.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Then what happened?
0:56:53 > 0:56:58I hated myself. On the way home, I said over and over again,
0:56:58 > 0:57:00there are no such people,
0:57:00 > 0:57:02no strange drugs,
0:57:02 > 0:57:06there's no such thing as a zombie.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09- You were right.- I said it, and I made myself believe it.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13But when I got here, Jessica was raging with fever.
0:57:13 > 0:57:17She was raging with fever. A fever with a long Latin name.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20And a bad reputation for its after-effects.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24- Usually some form of insanity. - Dr Maxwell is right, mother.
0:57:24 > 0:57:29- You were tricked by your own imagination, Mrs Rand.- But I am not an imaginative or fanciful woman.
0:57:29 > 0:57:34As I understand it, in order to turn a person into a zombie, whether by poison or...
0:57:34 > 0:57:38hocus-pocus, you must first kill that person.
0:57:38 > 0:57:43- Is that right?- Yes. - She was feverish. She was delirious.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46But I don't remember her dying.
0:57:46 > 0:57:52Or even being in a state resembling death. No coma. Nothing.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57I'm afraid you are an imaginative woman, Mrs Rand.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01Of course.
0:58:03 > 0:58:05Of course.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20DRUMS POUND
0:58:32 > 0:58:34Jessica?
0:58:36 > 0:58:38Jessica?
0:58:40 > 0:58:42Jessica? She won't obey me.
0:58:42 > 0:58:44Jessica!
0:58:55 > 0:58:59It's the Houmfort. They're trying to get her back.
0:58:59 > 0:59:03But how can they? How could they make her understand? How would she know?
0:59:03 > 0:59:10They know how. They have charms that can draw a man halfway around the world. Opiate tricks, magic.
0:59:10 > 0:59:16- Everybody knows that.- We may have believed all that when we were boys, Wes, but we're grown men now.
0:59:16 > 0:59:21- We know it's all nonsense.- Do we? - Yes.- You've forgotten... - I've not forgotten.
0:59:21 > 0:59:24I could see what was in your mind when Maxwell was talking.
0:59:24 > 0:59:28Just because he didn't know about Jessica's coma, you thought everything he said was wrong.
0:59:28 > 0:59:32- And that mother's story was right. But that's ridiculous.- It is true.
0:59:32 > 0:59:34Why did she come out here?
0:59:34 > 0:59:37How can they make her move, do anything they want?
0:59:37 > 0:59:43- They can make anybody do what they want.- You're thinking as they want you to think. That's what it's for.
0:59:43 > 0:59:46- Conches, their cheap mummery. - Let me in.
0:59:46 > 0:59:48Come with me, Jessica.
0:59:48 > 0:59:51You saw that.
0:59:51 > 0:59:54I saw nothing that would convince a sober man.
0:59:54 > 0:59:57You better get some sleep, Wes.
1:00:14 > 1:00:18Why don't you go to bed, Wes? It's been a hard day for all of us.
1:00:23 > 1:00:25I'm sorry, Wes.
1:00:25 > 1:00:27I think I know how you must feel.
1:00:27 > 1:00:32And I am sorry. I only wish there was something I could do.
1:00:32 > 1:00:35She ought to be free.
1:00:38 > 1:00:40You could free her, Betsy.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43You could do it. You're a nurse. You have the drugs.
1:00:43 > 1:00:44It'd be so quick.
1:00:44 > 1:00:47Her heart beats.
1:00:47 > 1:00:49She breathes. That's life, Wes.
1:00:49 > 1:00:53I once took an oath to guard life.
1:00:54 > 1:00:59I shouldn't have asked it of you. But it was only because I can't make you believe that she's already dead.
1:00:59 > 1:01:01Wait a minute.
1:01:01 > 1:01:03There's one other thing.
1:01:03 > 1:01:05You love Paul.
1:01:05 > 1:01:10Then, what good will it ever do you if Jessica's still a...
1:01:10 > 1:01:11Wesley.
1:01:11 > 1:01:15I'm afraid I love him too much for that.
1:01:15 > 1:01:17I'm sorry.

1:04:45 > 1:04:50The woman was a wicked woman, and she was dead in her own life.
1:04:50 > 1:04:54Yea Lord, dead in the selfishness of her spirit,
1:04:54 > 1:04:57and the man followed her.
1:04:57 > 1:05:02Her steps led him down to evil, her feet took hold on death.
1:05:02 > 1:05:07Forgive him, O Lord, who knowest the secrets of all hearts.
1:05:07 > 1:05:11Yea Lord, pity them who are dead...
