- How do you do, Lieutenant?
Thanks for coming, Doctor.
My wife is in the bedroom.
She doesn't know me.
She doesn't seem to know anything.
- Were you here when it happened?
- I just got in a few minutes ago.
I opened the door.
She was sitting on the divan.
Her eyes were wide open.
She was staring at-
At nothing.
Did you notice anything peculiar
about her actions when you saw her last?
- I've been a prisoner of war
for two years. Ive just come home.
- Oh. I see.
She's had a rugged time of it, all right.
First thinking I was dead,
then hearing from me.
On top of all that,
Would you say that she was
a nervous, imaginative girl?
No, sir. I've known her all my life.
We came from the same
small town in Michigan.
Went to school together.
She-Well, she's just a nice kid.
- What's wrong with her, Doctor?
- She's had a nervous collapse-went into shock.
- Where did you find her?
- In the living room.
In the living room?
You said she was sitting on the divan.
- Yes. Right here.
- I see.
What do you think
could have caused it, Doctor?
Well, that's difficult to say.
You have no idea how long
she might have been sitting there?
No. Oh, the clerk did say...
she phoned down
about one in the morning.
- Between one and 8:30.
- What difference does that make, Doctor?
what can you do for her?
It's hard for a doctor to make promises.
We can only do our best.
Are you living permanently at the hotel?
No. We've got to clear out by noon.
Oh, I see. Then I had better
take her to my place.
She's going to need someone
with her night and day.
Dr. Cross has a private
sanatorium just out of town.
- I see.
- Believe me, Lieutenant. It's best for her.
There must be a hospital here
in San Francisco. I'd like to be near her.
Of course. But I'm at my place every day.
It's in the country, and she'll
get plenty of fresh air and quiet.
If I were you, Lieutenant,
I'd listen to Dr. Cross.
Okay. You men know best.
Just get her well again.
I was getting ready
to leave when you called.
I'll take Mrs. Stewart
up with me now.
Hello, this is Dr. Cross.
Will you get my office please?
- I'm going with her, Doctor.
- I'd rather you waited...
Lieutenant, until I've been able
to give her a thorough examination.
It's quite possible your presence may
excite her and do her more harm than good.
It's just that I- It's been so long
since I've seen her.
Why don't you drive up
with me tomorrow?
Miss Jordan? Will you call the hospital
and tell Miss Hatfield...
to have a room ready
for a new patient.
We'll be there shortly.
Yes. That's right.
You pick us up at the hotel.
