"Whom the angels

call Lenore"

I told you never to come into

this room unless I send for you.

I'm sorry, sir.

Judge Thatcher is here.

Judge Thatcher here.

Yes, sir.

All right, send him in.

Very good, sir.

Good afternoon, Dr. Vollin.

Good afternoon.

Will you step in?

Thank you.

You were

expecting my daughter.

You see, last night,

while Jean was dancing...

I... I observed something

that... That worried me.

Later on, in Jean's dressing

room, I... I felt the same thing.

Then I... I questioned Jean.

And she made a confession.

She's in danger of becoming

infatuated with you.

Of course,

I can understand that.

You... You saved her life,

Dr. Vollin.

You think it's

only gratitude she feels?

Oh, don't say it

that way, Dr. Vollin.

Don't cheat us of the right

to be grateful to you.

Come to the point, Thatcher.

Well, I made it about as

plain as I can without, uh...

Look here, you... You know that

Jean's engaged to young Jerry Halden.

Now we can't let her get

any ideas about you, can we?

You are saying,

Judge Thatcher...

...that Jean has

fallen in love with me.

No, I'm not quite

saying that.

That you do not approve.

You disapprove yourself,

Dr. Vollin.

You don't want a young girl like

Jean falling in love with you.

Dr. Vollin,

I... I came to you once...

...and asked you, when death was near,

to save Jean.

I come to you again.

But this time...

...instead of from death,

you want to save her from me.

Oh.

I never realized, Vollin.

I'm sorry you feel like this.

Now that you know...

...you still say that your greatest

wish is for her to marry Halden?

More than ever.

There's no point

in saving Jean's life...

...if we're going to

sacrifice her happiness.

You mustn't see her again.

You driveling fool.

Stop talking.

Be careful, Vollin.

Not see her again?

Listen, Thatcher...

I'm a man who renders humanity

a great service.

For that, my brain

must be clear...

...my nerves steady

and my hands sure.

Jean torments me.

She has come into my life.

Into my brain.

Forget it, man. Forget it.

Judge Thatcher,

there are no two ways.

Send her to me.

Do you know

what you're saying?

There are no two ways.

Send her to me.

You're mad.

I am mad.

And I tell you,

the only way you can cure...

I can't talk to you,

Vollin.

I came here with a perfectly

reasonable objection...

...and expected you

to be reasonable.

Instead I find you stark,

staring mad.

Good day, Dr. Vollin.

Send her, Judge Thatcher.

I warn you.

Doctor Vollin.

Home, Hillview Heights.

I want to see Dr. Vollin.

What do you want to see

Dr. Vollin about?

I am Dr. Vollin.

I want to see you.

Come this way.

Come into my office.
