I feel as ifl've

been playing at it...

and been punished.

Forget it.

You all right?

Fine.

Keep your eyes closed.

Just relax.

Where is he?

Who do you want?

That two-legged gator- Paul.

You better

get out of here.

Aw.

Wait! You can't

go in there!

Manon! You were

ordered to leave.

You have

no right here.

Now get out.

Where is he?

I know you got him

here someplace.

I forbid you

to go in there.

Oh.

So he is here, huh?

Get him out of here!

Why, you-

Get out of here!

So that's where you are.

You can't!

You can't go in there!

No, you ain't him.

You can't be him.

You stay away from me!

Paul!

Paul!

Paul!

Paul'

Paul!

Paul!

Paul!

Paul! Paul!

No!

Don't! Don't! No!

Well, now that you've heard the tape again,

what do you think?

This indicates

that everything she said is true.

She was married to a Paul Webster

who did crash in a plane...

and there was a Dr. Mark Sinclair

who since disappeared.

Do you believe

her story?

That's not important.

Eric...

we were both taught that

a psychiatrisfs function...

is to find mental illness

and to cure it.

- As simple as that.

- Obviously.

Now,jane's case-

This girl has lived through

a horrible experience...

true or not,

but she has made...

a satisfactory adjustment.

She lives a normal, happy life

by completely suppressing it.

An obvious anxiety neurosis...

and amnesia suppression.

You didn't need me

to tell you that.

No, of course not.

But what am I

gonna do, Eric?

Shall I let her go on as she is now

or attempt a cure?

Now, all I've got to do

is bring her back in here...

and play back that tape.

Yes, and perhaps shock her

into a complete withdrawal.

Yes.

I don't know, Wayne.

I honestly don't know.

Excuse me, Doctor.

I'm going offduty unless

there's something else.

All right.

Thank you.

Oh,jane.

One moment.

Well?

Yes, Doctor?

That's alLjane.

Good night.

Good night, Doctor.

- Good night, Dr. Lorimer.

- Goodn/ghzfljane.
