1597

that concentrates further
when processed by bees into honey.

01:23:02,708 --> 01:23:05,625

of wildflower honey

of poison honey in her tea.
1616

with her repentant love.

Olga Seminoff did what she believed
that you would do,

and served Alicia Drake calming tea
sweetened with honey.

You cut her, you threw her into the canal,

you made her a suicide.

A victim of legend. Of ghosts.
1644
01:25:13,375 --> 01:25:16,500
Your love-blind and incapable doctor
1645

found nothing to arouse
suspicion at the inquest.
1646
01:25:19,250 --> 01:25:23,000
The police, predisposed to superstition,
easily satisfied.

The poisoned jar left
in the linen cupboard
1648
01:25:25,083 --> 01:25:26,458
by the careless housekeeper.
1649
01:25:26,542 --> 01:25:29,542
You had got away
with killing your own child,
1650
01:25:29,625 --> 01:25:33,500
until Ms. Oliver drew my attention
to something.
1651
01:25:33,583 --> 01:25:35,250
Where did all the money go?
1652
01:25:37,083 --> 01:25:38,250
I can't afford to fix it.
1653
01:25:38,333 --> 01:25:40,792
HERCULE: There is usually only one answer.
1654
01:25:41,292 --> 01:25:42,583
-Blackmail.
-(ROWENA GASPS)
1655
01:25:42,750 --> 01:25:45,417
HERCULE: I suspect that someone
had found you out.
1656
01:25:45,500 --> 01:25:47,667
And so you paid for their silence.
1657
01:25:47,750 --> 01:25:49,125
Again and again, you paid.
1658
01:25:49,875 --> 01:25:53,042
But now, with your fortune gone
and this house unsalable at any price,
1659
01:25:53,125 --> 01:25:55,833
you were desperate to get out
from under the blackmailer's thumb.
1660
01:25:55,917 --> 01:25:57,042
But who could it be?
1661
01:25:58,083 --> 01:26:00,042
Your obvious suspect was Doctor Ferrier.
1662
01:26:00,125 --> 01:26:02,167
Perhaps he was not so naive a witness.
1663
01:26:02,250 --> 01:26:06,208
Perhaps finally,
he recognized the poison symptoms.
1664
01:26:06,292 --> 01:26:09,500
And then you received your letter
from the unholy Ms. Reynolds,
1665
01:26:09,583 --> 01:26:11,958
claiming messages from your lost daughter.
1666
01:26:12,042 --> 01:26:14,167
Too many intimate details known,
1667
01:26:14,250 --> 01:26:18,417
teasing knowledge of your crime,
her services offered at a heavy price.
1668
01:26:18,500 --> 01:26:20,625
Surely this was your blackmailer.
1669
01:26:20,708 --> 01:26:22,333
She had to be stopped to be safe.
1670
01:26:22,417 --> 01:26:25,792
Both Ms. Reynolds and Doctor Ferrier
had to be stopped. But how?
1671
01:26:25,875 --> 01:26:29,875
The séance in a haunted house
on Halloween.
1672
01:26:29,958 --> 01:26:32,250
The perfect opportunity to conceal
1673
01:26:32,333 --> 01:26:35,208
the murder of those
you suspected of blackmail.
1674
01:26:35,292 --> 01:26:37,542

changed the time

the true midnight bell.

a show of the locked door,

You are a precocious boy
1764
01:32:12,083 --> 01:32:15,250
who is perhaps ashamed
at how much he likes attention.
1765
01:32:16,167 --> 01:32:18,000
I know something of this.
1766
01:32:20,083 --> 01:32:23,167
You must not blame yourself
for anything that happened in this house.
1767
01:32:23,250 --> 01:32:25,250
-(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
-Why would he do that?
1768
01:32:26,125 --> 01:32:27,917
But it's all my fault.
1769
01:32:28,917 --> 01:32:31,750
You did not care
for the money for yourself.
1770
01:32:32,292 --> 01:32:34,292
You wanted to help your father.
1771
01:32:35,792 --> 01:32:37,083
Dad couldn't work.
1772
01:32:38,167 --> 01:32:40,417
I only used the money
to pay for our bills.
1773
01:32:41,875 --> 01:32:44,083
I didn't even know
what to do with the rest.
1774
01:32:44,167 --> 01:32:49,208
Rowena Drake presumed the blackmailer
was the fake medium or the family doctor,
1775
01:32:49,708 --> 01:32:51,083
when it was neither.
1776
01:32:51,458 --> 01:32:53,958
Only the doctor's son saw the truth.
1777
01:32:54,042 --> 01:32:56,250
It was obvious from Dad's notes.
1778
01:32:57,458 --> 01:32:58,667
Mad honey poisoning,
1779
01:32:58,750 --> 01:33:01,417
just like Mitridate from her opera.
1780
01:33:01,500 --> 01:33:02,917
The Poison King.
1781
01:33:04,417 --> 01:33:07,083
I read all about it in one of her books
in the library.
1782
01:33:08,292 --> 01:33:11,833
And so, I tested the theory.
1783
01:33:12,208 --> 01:33:14,000
You sent a blackmail letter.
1784
01:33:17,583 --> 01:33:18,792
And another.
1785
01:33:19,208 --> 01:33:20,333
(HERCULE SIGHS)
1786
01:33:25,542 --> 01:33:28,667
Perhaps there is a use for this money
in your mattress.
1787
01:33:30,750 --> 01:33:32,542
To make good of regret.
1788
01:33:35,458 --> 01:33:37,500
We survived before Ms. Reynolds.
1789
01:33:37,583 --> 01:33:39,667
-We'll do better than survive.
-(DOOR OPENS)
1790
01:33:39,750 --> 01:33:41,667
I promise we'll get to America. We will.
1791
01:33:41,750 --> 01:33:43,208
Come with us, you two.
1792
01:33:45,667 --> 01:33:47,042
To the police station?
1793
01:33:47,875 --> 01:33:51,458
Us, to home. You, to America.
Missouri, I understand.
1794
01:33:51,625 --> 01:33:55,208
Passage for two.
We can help with that. I think.
1795
01:34:03,958 --> 01:34:04,958
(DOOR SHUTS)
1796
01:34:08,042 --> 01:34:10,333
DESDEMONA: Thank you. (SOBS)

NICHOLAS: Thank you, thank you so much.
1799
01:34:14,375 --> 01:34:16,417
OLGA: Leave some space
for Leopold, please.
1800
01:34:21,708 --> 01:34:22,875
You solved the case.
1801
01:34:23,917 --> 01:34:25,042
But you had help,
1802
01:34:25,750 --> 01:34:26,750
didn't you?
1803
01:34:28,208 --> 01:34:29,333
You heard her.
1804
01:34:30,875 --> 01:34:32,250
Bonne chance, my friend.
1805
01:34:32,917 --> 01:34:33,917
Don't worry,
1806
01:34:34,792 --> 01:34:37,250
people who die in this house
always come back.
1807
01:34:38,583 --> 01:34:39,750
I'll see them again.
1808
01:34:40,750 --> 01:34:42,375
(BOAT ENGINE THRUMMING)
1809
01:34:48,958 --> 01:34:50,417
See you soon, Dad.

(SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING)
1811
01:35:17,708 --> 01:35:19,917
I won't apologize. You've ruined my book.
1812
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,167
Neither living nor proof.
I have to rewrite the whole thing.
1813
01:35:22,250 --> 01:35:23,875
So long as it does not include my name.
1814
01:35:23,958 --> 01:35:25,667
I never want to hear your name again.
1815
01:35:27,583 --> 01:35:29,875
Just a house now. All debunked.
1816
01:35:33,083 --> 01:35:34,833
But you've got the look of a believer.
1817
01:35:35,583 --> 01:35:36,833
You did. You saw something.
1818
01:35:36,917 --> 01:35:38,750
I was under the influence.
1819
01:35:38,833 --> 01:35:43,917
My subconscious mind assembled facts
ahead of the rational.
1820
01:35:45,583 --> 01:35:46,583
You saw.
1821
01:35:48,167 --> 01:35:49,292
You know.
1822
01:35:53,417 --> 01:35:57,583
I know only that we cannot hide
from our ghosts.
1823
01:35:58,625 --> 01:36:00,958
Whether they are real or not,
1824
01:36:01,542 --> 01:36:05,833
we must make our peace with them.
1825
01:36:07,583 --> 01:36:09,708
And live life.
1826
01:36:09,792 --> 01:36:10,792
Somehow.
1827
01:36:12,500 --> 01:36:14,208
And how will you live your life?

(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING)
1832
01:37:03,833 --> 01:37:07,500
Your parents died
one soon after the other.
1833
01:37:07,583 --> 01:37:08,750
Then, your brother.
1834
01:37:09,250 --> 01:37:12,667
Your trusted doctor
is a beloved friend to the family.
1835
01:37:12,750 --> 01:37:16,917
Your brother was unmarried,
as are you. No other relations.
1836
01:37:17,333 --> 01:37:19,417
Your family is not cursed.
1837
01:37:19,500 --> 01:37:23,000
I strongly suspect your brother
added a codicil to his will
1838
01:37:23,083 --> 01:37:25,167
naming your doctor as beneficiary
1839
01:37:25,250 --> 01:37:27,042
should all members
of your small family perish.
1840
01:37:27,125 --> 01:37:30,042
After which I strongly suspect
he also murdered them,
1841
01:37:30,125 --> 01:37:32,250
claiming natural causes
at their deathbeds.
1842
01:37:32,333 --> 01:37:35,208
And your life is next in danger.
You may wish to sit.

Please.

(WOMAN SINGING)
1845
01:37:50,625 --> 01:37:55,042
So, correct me if I am wrong, monsieur,
your doctor was a family friend?
1846
01:37:55,125 --> 01:37:58,500
You would play together as children.
This much is clear.
1847
01:37:58,583 --> 01:38:01,167
However, your mother was
closer to you, right?
