• Dr. Esther Martin : I really did try to understand Barrie. But... being so near him in the hospital, all that time... I thought I'd go mad. Perhaps I did. Because at some point, I'd decided to kill him.

  Chief Inspector Morse : And Barrie himself provided the method, with his obsession about betrayal?

  Dr. Esther Martin : Yes. When I told him about the dreams, he said if I was really Ashtoreth's medium, I could tell him who betrayed him. So, I described my own ordeal, and I told him he'd been betrayed by the other man. Then he said if I was Ashtoreth's medium, I could get him out of the hospital. So, I began to see a way that I could pay them both back. It was as thought we were locked together in some absurd game, each driven by our own hatred. The rest you know, Chief Inspector.

• Chief Inspector Morse : We're about to enter the Third Millennium, Canon.

  Canon Humphrey Appleton : Yes, but the occult will always be with us, Chief Inspector. It reflects a part of our nature.
