The 15 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:04.599 dark wall. 16 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.640 The black quiet of the night settled over us. I 17 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.680 could hear only the silky ripple of the river Segree nearby, 18 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.239 and a thin whisper of wind in the high pines 19 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.560 above us. The strange silence of the day was over 20 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.799 Joyce was sleeping quietly now a few feet away. I 21 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.280 sank into my sleeping bag and prayed that things would 22 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:59.319 go better tomorrow. Something roused me some sound. In a glance, 23 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.400 I saw the gray the predom, and then I saw 24 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.480 Joyce poised at the side of my sleeping bag, wild 25 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.400 terror in her eyes and in her upraised hand a 26 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:10.360 heavy tire iron. 27 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:21.120 Joyce, give it, Joyce. 28 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.639 Oh you were supposed to wake up? Why why did 29 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:26.800 you have to wake up? 30 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:29.520 Oh? Hell? 31 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.000 Hell? 32 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.159 And I'm so afraid. 33 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.639 No, no, you're all right, Joyce, Joyce, don't be afraid. 34 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:38.960 What's wrong? What's wrong? 35 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:40.520 There's nothing to be afraid of? 36 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:43.840 So awful to be so frightened? 37 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.680 What frightens you? Can't you tell me? 38 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.280 I was going to kill you? I wanted to kill you, Joyce? 39 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.919 Are you afraid? Help me? Oh? 40 00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:58.919 Is you? 41 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:01.759 I love you? 42 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.159 And I love you, Darnie. 43 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.639 I know you do. Alan, Please can't we go now? 44 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.199 Can't we get away from here? 45 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.879 I knew now that Joyce needed care quickly. Her sickness, 46 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.520 whatever it was, had been a growing thing. As we 47 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.120 drove through the narrow, winding roads of the Pyrenees toward 48 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.039 the tiny state of Andorra, I tried to forget what 49 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.319 had happened, tried to ignore the mounting wall of silence 50 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.879 between us. Something in that silence told me that Joyce's 51 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.400 fears were greater than mine. 52 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:45.639 Why are you stopping here? 53 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.000 The road forks up there? Just ahead. I want to 54 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.560 look at the maps. I'm not sure which way we're 55 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:51.240 supposed to turn. 56 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.360 Aren't there any towns? Wow? Are we ever going to 57 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.120 see people and buildings again? 58 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.000 You can't be too far from Mandora lo' vieha, but 59 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.039 a doubt of this road Roa's even on the map. 60 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.039 Then let's go back, Alan, if we don't know what's 61 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.400 a hit, let's go back till I read our Barcelona anywhere? 62 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.520 But here there was a long way back, Joyce. 63 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.719 I don't care this place, all tangle wooden pines, the 64 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.720 narrow paths that twist and wander. 65 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.000 We're not lost, darling, Then where are we? 66 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.240 I don't like it, Alan, It's just a wild, lonely place, 67 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.240 and it frightens me. And I beg you to take 68 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:28.839 me out of here. 69 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.160 All right, all right, darling, don't worry. 70 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.839 I know what's behind me, the head it's all unknown. 71 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.000 I'm afraid of what's a hit. 72 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.480 You mustn't be afraid, Joyce. I won't let anything happen. 73 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.639 We wound steadily higher and higher through the wooded Pyrenees. 74 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.279 We met no one and saw no one. Andra is 75 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.680 a small estate, only a hundred and ninety two square 76 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.759 miles in all, but that morning it was an endless 77 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.279 stretching climbing no man's land, a lonely place with no 78 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:16.560 name and no face. Then finally we came upon it. 79 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.160 Not a town, really a village with one great house 80 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.879 and a few smaller ones perched there on the rocky ledge. 81 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:24.480 It looked like. 82 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.079 The last stop before oblivion. 83 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.600 It's so quiet. I wonder where the people are. 84 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:38.639 I wonder if there are people. 85 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:40.600 It's not a town at all. 86 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.920 Perhaps we should have turned back when you said to. 87 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.600 Look look at the window? 88 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:46.120 Where? 89 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:46.319 Why? 90 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:46.439 No? 91 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.519 I saw a face in the window. Oh there's some 92 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:49.480 one here, allan some. 93 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.560 No, you don't want to stay here, darling. Even if 94 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.240 we find some one, this isn't the place for us. 95 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:54.439 Now look you. 96 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.399 See the door is opening, allan, someone is here. 97 00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:58.279 But joys, this isn't it. 98 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.839 You have lost your way. 99 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.959 If we were told there was a town here, there is. Well? 100 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.920 Is this all here is to it? We do not 101 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:16.959 require more? 102 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.879 Please, I'm tired, I need resk. Can't we stay here? 103 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.600 Is there a hotel any place where we can get 104 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:25.959 a room? 105 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.879 That is what your eyes tell you? 106 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.839 That is? And no more? Is there a larger town 107 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:34.480 anywhere near here? 108 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.800 You are in Andorra. Nothing is far away, nothing is 109 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:40.720 easily reached. 110 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.920 What's the matter with you people? But you always talking riddles? 111 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.720 Can't you answer questions? Can't you ask? 112 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:51.439 Please? We must stay here somehow, just a while. I 113 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:52.560 need to stop a while. 114 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.360 She is your wife. 115 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.160 Yes, there is no hotel, I see there isn't This 116 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.439 house has made rooms, but we are a large family. 117 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:09.560 Please please understand me.

They exchanged only a look, and 129 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.759 then she came and led Joyce into the house. At 130 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.759 first I thought the man meant for me to stay outside. 131 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.800 He moved as if to stop me from following. Then 132 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:01.399 he stepped back and I walked into the house. Joyce 133 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.319 was stretched out on the bed. When I got there, 134 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:08.360 the bed was the only piece of furniture in the room. 135 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.079 Hmm, it's nice, isn't it. 136 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.920 Ellen, It's a room, a bed.

We 146 00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:00.399 have no need but doctor. My wife is ill. We 147 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.840 have need for a doctor. 148 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.720 You will not find one here. 149 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:11.879 I know, I know.

I can leave the 153 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:21.559 car along. 154 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:22.000 I have. 155 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:26.559 Who are they? 156 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.840 My sons, my brothers, their sons. We are the family here. 157 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:38.039 We are called Balira, We ten sheep and our own affairs. 158 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.720 Oh, I'm sorry, I'm worried about my wife. I didn't 159 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.360 mean to shop. 160 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.519 At Most of the time, our mountains protect us. We 161 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.559 do not like intruders. 162 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:50.919 It is not so bad in winter. 163 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.600 The snows fall deep into the passes, seal them and 164 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:55.919 keep the intruders. 165 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.960 We are not intruders. We don't want to be here, 166 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.279 We don't mean the here, and I promise you we 167 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:01.879 won't be here. 168 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:06.000 Sometimes the intruders come to hide in our mountains, to 169 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:11.200 be lost from the world. Always the intruders are troubled people, 170 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.320 full of fears and discontent. The worst of their world 171 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.240 they find their way to anddor. 172 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.159 I walked away from him along the crude cobble of 173 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.639 the village path, away from the great house and the 174 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:36.240 smaller ones, and everywhere the sons, the brothers and their 175 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:42.399 sons of Valia watched me with silent distrust. I walked 176 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.360 to the rocky pinnacle that was the edge of the village, 177 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.200 and beyond, as far as I could see, the awesome 178 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:54.039 Pyrenees reached higher and higher, like a great wall, closing 179 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.159 out the rest of the world. I went back to 180 00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:58.360 the house where Joyce slept. 181 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.039 The woman is with her, she called out, and the 182 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.440 woman went into her I shouldn't have left her alone. 183 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.320 I must wait. The woman has brought her quiet. That 184 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:14.320 is enough. I wouldn't try to keep me out here 185 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:19.200 if I how is she woman? 186 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:22.799 She is quiet? 187 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:23.159 Now. 188 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.360 The woman would not leave her so if she were 189 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.120 not choice. 190 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.320 Oh Joyce, darling, he said, you're gone. No, no, no, no, 191 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.039 only for a little while, only while you slept. 192 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:39.240 Don't don't come any closer, Oh Joyce, what is it? 193 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.559 Please leave me alone. I want you to leave me alone. 194 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.639 We're going to get out of this place, Darling together. 195 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.480 No, no, I won't go. 196 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.600 I won't. We'll find the right road. It can't be far, 197 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.000 and I promise you, darling, everything will be all right. 198 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.960 We won't come here again. Ever. 199 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.240 Why don't you listen? I talk to you and you 200 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.320 don't listen. I'm not going with you. You can't make 201 00:11:59.360 --> 00:11:59.879 me go with you. 202 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:11.120 No, no, Joyce, wait wait, Joyce was clinging to the woman. 203 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.039 Valera stepped in front of them as I came back 204 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.840 to the front room, and beside him. From every corner 205 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.200 of the room, the rest of the Valera men began 206 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.080 to form a wall between Joyce and me, A wall 207 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.840 of men, silent men with staring distrust in their eyes. 208 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.000 What are you trying to do? 209 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.559 Cat? You see she's sick. I'm gonta get her out 210 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.879 of here. Don't you know that I'm taking her with me. 211 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:53.080 And the whole lot of you can't stop me. 212 00:12:50.919 --> 00:13:12.440 You are listening to The Dark Wall Tonight's presentation of Escape. 213 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.919 One advantage in having several radios about the house is 214 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.279 that they make it possible for housewives to listen while 215 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.759 they work a kitchen, said, another in the living room, 216 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.200 perhaps a third in the bedroom. Keep them all tuned 217 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.799 into CBS Radio for our great roster of daytime dramatic stories. 218 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.799 And now Escape and the second act of The Dark Wall. 219 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:53.679 I aroused from a sleep that was tortured and full 220 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:58.440 of pain. The bright afternoon sun shone in a haze 221 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.200 about me. When my vision cut through it, I saw 222 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.720 nothing my eyes had seen before. I was in my 223 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.919 own car, pulled to one side of a road that 224 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:14.120 was wider than any I had seen for days, and 225 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.000 not far in the distance. I could hear the approach 226 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.320 of other cars, but none were yet in my view. 227 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:25.759 I got out, stood in the roadway. For all the 228 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.279 stiff pain of me, it felt good to be part 229 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.039 of the world again. But then I remembered Joyce and 230 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:38.600 the Wall of Valerimen, and I was lost and lonely, sick. 231 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.840 Hey, you should not walk in the middle of the road. 232 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.559 No, no, no, I shouldn't only. 233 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.559 You were heard an accident. 234 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.919 I'm all right, I just don't know where I am. 235 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.360 What road is this in Andorra? You know that I 236 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:03.039 know that. 237 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.600 Then straight ahead on this road the direction your car 238 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.919 is pointing no more than four kilometers lies the capital 239 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:11.519 Andra la Vieha. 240 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.519 Straight ahead, and. 241 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.159 I promise I have just come through there myself. 242 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.080 You are sure you are right not here. 243 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.240 I'm much better now. Do you know this country well 244 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:25.759 or well enough to drive. 245 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.799 Through it quickly? My home is in Spain. 246 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.000 You wouldn't know a village near here, maybe a small 247 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.879 village where everyone is called Valira. 248 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.320 No, I would not know it. 249 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.799 There are many such villages in Andorra. If you can 250 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.519 find them, I must find it, perhaps in Andre la Vieha. 251 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:57.879 Perhaps my hopes were high for Andorra la Veekhan. There 252 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.679 would be answers for all my questions, be concerned and 253 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:05.759 help and interest. I told myself these things to keep 254 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.080 my mind from filling itself with joyce, to keep the 255 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:15.200 pain quiet. Some corner of my mind held the memory 256 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.799 of all that had happened in the house of Valera. 257 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.360 I could not be sure. I wanted to remember. 258 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.559 I do not see why you have come here to me. 259 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.039 I didn't know any place else to go. I need 260 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.519 so much help. I thought surely the police could do 261 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.720 something there, a crime. No, my wife is ill, very ill. 262 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.480 She's with strange people in a strange village. I've got 263 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.399 to find help for her and go back there. 264 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.200 And why do you not do this? Why do you 265 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:43.720 buy their meal? 266 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.919 I've told you, will you try to understand me. I 267 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.840 don't know where the village is. I don't think it's 268 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.440 far away, but I don't know where it is. 269 00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:54.440 It does a name, David. 270 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.480 I don't know that. 271 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:01.080 The people there are called Valera. The river cover No, 272 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.120 I saw no river. 273 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:02.799 No, not there. 274 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.960 It was high on a rocky crest of a mountain, 275 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.119 just a few houses. You must know where it is. 276 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.319 You were there, yes, this morning, Then you must know 277 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:13.880 where it is. 278 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.279 No, I don't. I don't have any idea where it is. 279 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.960 But you were there this morning. Now you are here, Puck. 280 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:22.519 I don't know how I got there. 281 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.240 Can I make you understand that? 282 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.920 I think none of this is important. 283 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.240 That's all important to me. My wife is ill. She 284 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:29.880 needs care. 285 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.880 You tell me that. Perhaps then you would tell me 286 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.359 why you left her. Any strange village you do not know, 287 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:37.319 with strange people you do not know. 288 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.920 I didn't leave her. 289 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.599 But she is there and you are here. 290 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.559 You won't even try to help me, help. 291 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:49.440 You, help you? 292 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:49.640 What? 293 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.119 Find it down? Where you have been and I have 294 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:53.839 never been? 295 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:58.880 All right, all right, I can't talk anymore. 296 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.720 Daisy hotel across the plaza. You will find other intruders there, 297 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:06.640 among them a doctor. 298 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.920 I wasn't sure I had heard him clearly, but there 299 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.960 were no questions left in me. I stumbled out into 300 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:21.000 the glaring sunlight again, steadied myself against a pillar, and 301 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.279 when I could make out the hotel across the plaza, 302 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:28.039 I walked there, held together. I know by the thin 303 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.319 strand of hope that I would find the doctor and 304 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.200 they would be helpful. 305 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:36.759 Joyce, Yeah, drink it down. 306 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:44.279 Oh hey, whiskey, it's good, whiskey, you need it? Oh, 307 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:49.599 h good? It helps you do understand doctor, that I 308 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:50.960 have not come about me. 309 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.519 Or your wife. I know I understand that. Oh I'm glad. 310 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.039 Someone. Does you think the priest can help us? You 311 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.279 think he'll be able to find the village or. 312 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.440 The pottery will direct us there if anyone can. I. Meanwhile, 313 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.279 there's time. Tell me about your wife as much as 314 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.480 you can, as much as you know of her illness. 315 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:12.720 I've called it illness. I suppose it's that fear. Unreasonable 316 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:14.759 fear is an illness, isn't it? Oh? 317 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.720 Indeed it is? Yes? Has she known these fears long? 318 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:20.759 I don't know. We've been married less than a month. 319 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.960 I knew were only a short time before that. No, 320 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.359 it was all pretty sudden. She was alone, I was alone, 321 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:29.599 and then we were together. 322 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.720 Did you were happier together? 323 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.720 Oh? Yes, very happy, very much in love. 324 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.440 Until this strangeness came over her. 325 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.279 Yes, yes, that's right. May I please do help us, 326 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.039 help you? Thank you? 327 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.440 How was it you described the difference in her, the 328 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.240 difference in your relationship. 329 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.839 Like like a wall, a mounting wall of silence. 330 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.160 And in this silent time of hers she is much different, 331 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:05.839 not at all like the girl you married. 332 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.079 She doesn't even look like herself. Her lovely, gentle face 333 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:13.599 contorts into a wild thing, like she was an animal. 334 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.720 Oh it's ugly, doctor, and so real. I couldn't imagine that, 335 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.160 could I? 336 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:19.440 No? 337 00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.640 I don't believe you could she was like that early 338 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:24.359 this morning when she tried to kill you. 339 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.400 She kept saying that she had to kill me, that 340 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.759 she wanted to kill me, and all the while she 341 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.319 was so frightened, so very frightened. 342 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.480 But you know what frightened her? Do you know any 343 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:36.880 reason why she should want to kill you? 344 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.200 I thought she must be afraid of me. She'd have 345 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:40.920 no reason to be, but I thought that must be it. 346 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.759 I asked her, and she said it isn't you. I 347 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:48.079 love you, Oh, poor darling. If she said that after 348 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.680 she tried to kill you, almost immediately afterwards, it's a 349 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.640 complete contradiction, I know, But that's the way it is, 350 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.640 as if Joyce were two persons, two directly opposite persons. 351 00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.599 That may be precisely the case. 352 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:06.799 You know, I don't understand two persons, one almost entirely good, 353 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:12.359 gentle kind, the other almost entirely evil, terrifying, menacing fiendish 354 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.000 at times, two persons occupying one body. That's schizophrenia. 355 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.839 Oh no, no, not joice doctor who I'd have to 356 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.200 be sure, of course, But from what you said now, 357 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.480 still i'd have to see her, talk with her or 358 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:30.599 there are many steps to take. 359 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:30.960 Now. 360 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.720 The important thing now is to see her as soon 361 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.359 as possible. 362 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:39.039 Schizophrenia. That's hopeless, isn't it. I mean, there's no cure, 363 00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:40.440 is there? 364 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.039 Where it depends largely, I should say, on her along 365 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:46.079 these two personalities within her have been warring one with another, 366 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.640 the good and. 367 00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.359 The evil, and the moral and the immoral. 368 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:52.559 If the cleavage is minor at this point, if the 369 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:54.759 breach between her two cells, as it were, is not 370 00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.680 yet great, and there is a measure of hope, but 371 00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:59.720 you couldn't go on this way, and definitely being too 372 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.440 people mustn't one of herselves, as you say, win this war. 373 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.480 If it progresses unchecked, well, then yes, ones self will 374 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:12.119 emerge triumphant. She's a poor war word here, for in 375 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.359 such an instance, the evil almost inevitably triumphs. 376 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:19.000 Over the good. Can we go to her now? 377 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:21.920 Yes, I'm sure that party will have our directions. 378 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:33.079 And the priest's directions were perfect because I'd assumed the 379 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.359 village was not far away. But the drive was an 380 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.160 eternity for me. The strain of the last days was 381 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.319 beginning to tell. I was wound tight and not by 382 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.079 all that happened, and torn deep by all the doctors said. 383 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:50.119 I stopped outside the great house of Valira. The doctor 384 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.400 touched my arm. 385 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.680 Perhaps perhaps it's best that I see her alone at first. 386 00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:58.759 Or but but I've got to see her. 387 00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.839 Oh I know, and you will. 388 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.400 But you don't know what happened here before you left 389 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.599 the last you remember, she was terrified of you. 390 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:05.799 I'll send for you soon, and. 391 00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:09.720 I promise tell her I love her, Will you, Oh 392 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:10.480 indeed I will. 393 00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:16.319 Oh Well, there's one thing I neglected to tell you, 394 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:20.640 one important facet of this. If we find what we 395 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:23.880 fear most, you must take this comfort to your heart. 396 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:29.359 The girl you love, who loves you. There's no knowledge 397 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.079 whatsoever of her other self. 398 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.680 Thank you, doctor, Yes, you ponder that I shan't belong. 399 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:44.000 I watched the house door close behind him, and there, 400 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.839 in the high quiet alone, I took the comfort he 401 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:56.279
