Father, there's a jumping competition

up Maybury next weekend.

Can 1 go?

- Yes, I don't see why not.

- Thank you.

- You're horse mad, that's what you are.

- Morning.

My name's Duncan.

You knew my father.

- Duncan, what?

Not Willie Duncan? - That's right.

- Well, of course, how do you do?

- Good.

- Your father and I were friends at Edinburgh University.

How is he? - Very well.

Still just a local doctor, I'm afraid.

I'm staying at the village at The Two Foxes.

As a matter of fact, m visit isn't purely social.

- Oh?

- I've come to ask a favour.

- Yes?

Oh, shall we go inside?

- I don't like him.

- Don't be silly, you don't even know him.

- But a simple letter of recommendation.

- I can hardly recommend somebody I don't know.

And the fact that you're not fully qualified

makes it impossible.

- I told you I've been studying abroad.

- I'm afraid it isn't enough.

- I see.

Well, believe me, they're years ahead of this country.

They've methods of treating nervous disorders, for instance.

Doctors like you couldn't begin to understand.

- Then I can't see why such an advanced young man

should want to become a personal physician

to a Lady Wainwright.

Oh, she'll pay you very well

and you'll get plenty of leisure

because as everybody knows,

there's nothing really wrong with her.

- Just what are you suggesting?

- I'm suggesting you complete your proper training

and become a real doctor like your father.

(upbeat music)

- Mad about horses, she is.

Upbeat music - 96, 9798, 99, 100.

Are you ready?

- Jenny, I'm over here.

Jenny.

You're getting warmer.

Jenny, over here.

(dramatic music)

- Ms. Gordon.

May I have a word with you?

- Jenny?

Jenny.

You didn't even try to find me.

What did he want anyway?

- Who?

- Duncan, of course.

- Oh yes, nothing.

- Nothing?

- He talked about Beauty, that's all.

(upbeat music)

Keep away from me.

No, no.

No.

Father.

(dramatic music)

Father.

- Jenny, what is it, what's the matter?

- What's happened, darling?

There, there, there, it's all right.

- There nothing in the stable, just Beauty.

Jenny, what is it, what's wrong?

- I'm so frightened.

- Frightened?

There's nothing to be frightened about.

- There is, there is.

- Come on now, tell me.

Tell me what he did.

It's him.

- Who, child?

- Him, him.

- Beauty?

You're frightened of Beauty?

Why, Jenny, why?

Come along, girl,

I'll find you something that'll make you feel better.

- It's the (indistinct), that's what you've got.

- Hysterics.

Well, I haven't anyway.

(horse neighing)

- Beauty, where are you going?

(dramatic music)

(horse neighing)

- Oh no.

Keep him away from me.

(horse neighing)

- He's gone.

You've been bewitched if you ask me.

- Suppose you think an evil magician's put a spell on me.

- Look, you'll never know.

That man, that man who came yesterday.

- He's not an evil magician.

- No, but there's something odd about him, isn't there.

What did he say to you about Beauty?

- When?

- In the woods when we were playing hide and seek.

- He wasn't in the woods.

(violin music) - He was.

You were talking to him, I saw you.

- I don't remember.

I don't remember at all.

What are you going to do?

- Find Duncan.

(dramatic music)

Stay here, Beauty.

Morning.

- Good morning?

What you mean good morning? Hop it.

- I've come to see Mr. Duncan, I've got an appointment.

- Have you?

Well, Dr. Duncan's

just rode over to see Lady Wainwright.

So hop it.

(horse neighing)

- The Power of Hidden... (clearing throat)

The Power of Hypnosis.

Hypnosis.

Fear in certain high responsive subjects,

usually young women or girls,

it is possible to induce fear of familiar objects.

Fear of familiar objects.

- A horse for instance. (dramatic music)

(mellow music)

- Now, don't worry about Beauty

because Albert's taken him into the village.

- All right.

- Bye bye, dear.

- Every time she sees or hears a horse

she'll become terrified.

- But why Jenny?

- To teach her father a lesson.

- You can't let her stay like that.

- No?

Who's going to stop me?

- I will, I'll tell.

- I don't think you will.

I'm going to give you this ring, boy.

Isn't it beautiful?

See how it flashes and sparkles and flashes and sparkles?

You're tired.

- No.

You're trying to hypnotize me, aren't you?

So I'll forget all about it.

Well, it ain't gonna work, see?

- You're feeling drowsy.

Very, very drowsy.

- No, I'm not, I'm wide awake.

- You want to sleep, to sleep.

- The boy stood on the burning deck,

whence all but he had fled,

the flame that lit the battle's wreck,

shone round him o'er the dead.

- Sleep, boy.

Sleep.

You will do everything I say.

- Everything you say.

- Yes.

You will sleep.

- Sleep.

- [Duncan] You are going into deep, deep sleep.

Deeper and deeper and deeper.

(dramatic music)

(crashing sound)

- Stop him, stop him.

After that boy. (horse neighing)

Don't let him get away.

Let's all chase after him.

- Go, Beauty, go.

- Go on, get out of the way.

(horse neighing)

(horse galloping) (horse neighing)

(dramatic music)

(horse neighing)

(screaming)

- Keep away, keep away from me.

(horse neighing)

No, no.

(crying)

(horse neighing)

(horse neighing)

No. (foreboding music)

No, no.

(horse neighing)

Leave me alone.

Please, leave me alone.

(crying)

(horse neighing)

- It's Beauty.

What is it, boy?

Something's wrong, Amy.

- Well, what happened to Albert?

- I'll find out.

You go back and stay with Jenny.

- Very well.

- [Dr. Gordon] Take me to him, Beauty.

(horse neighing)

- Beauty.

Beauty.

(horse neighing)

- It's up to you, boy. (horse neighing)

Albert.

Are you all right? -Yes.

I hit a tree, I wasn't looking where I was going.

- Let's have a look at you.

Any bumps? - No.

Duncan's a hypnotist.

(dramatic music)

- What did you say? - A hypnotist.

He hypnotized Jenny

and that's what she's frightened of Beauty.

- I don't believe it.

- To teach you a lesson he said.

- Are you fit enough to ride? -Yes.

- Come on. (horse neighing)

Beauty, come back here.

(dramatic music)

Come on, home.

- Lady Wainwright sent her carriage for you, sir.

- Yes, I thought she might.

Handsome, don't you think, landlord?

- Very nice, sir, very nice.

- Yes, I think I may purchase one of these.

- Really, sir?

I'll just put your case in here.

There we are, sir, you're all fixed up now.

(horse neighing)

- Go on, get the animal out of here.

(horse neighing)

- [Landlord] That's Black Beauty.

- Black.

(horse neighing) (dramatic music)

(horse neighing)

- Get away from me.

- Help me.

Will you please?

- Get away, you brute.

- Get away from me, you brute.

(horse neighing) Get away from me.

Go on, get away from me, go on.

Get out, get away.

(horse neighing)

(upbeat music) (horse neighing)

Get away, you devil, get away.

- That's Duncan. - And Beauty.

- So that's where Beauty got to.

(upbeat music)

(horse neighing)

(upbeat music)

(horse neighing)

Whoa, boy, hold it down.

- Gordon. - Easy.

(horse neighing) Easy, Beauty.

Gordon, don't let him harm me.

Please, Gordon.

- What about my daughter, Jenny?

Did you stop to think how you were harming her?

- I was angry.

I just wanted to show you.

- You've shown me that you're a callous young fool

and now you're going to undo the damage you did.

- But suppose I fail?

(dramatic music)

(mellow music)

Jenny, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

- Yes.

- Close your eyes.

Yes.

You're going into a sleep, a deep and drowsy sleep.

I shall count from 10 to one

and then you will be awake and no longer afraid.

10.

You are beginning to lose your fear.

Nine, eight.

Beginning to wake.

Seven, six.

You are no longer afraid.

Jenny, you are not afraid.

Five, waking now.

Four, happy and confident.

Three, nearly awake.

Two, one.

(clicking fingers)

- How do you feel?

- Sleepy.

- You need some fresh air.

- I do hope that young man knows what he's doing.

- We'll soon find out.

(birds chirping)

(suspenseful music)

(horse neighing)

- He's pleased to see me.
