I've been asked to find

a specialist training

something else interesting

in the black substance
in the Napp infant's mouth.

- Initially, we thought it was
congealed blood,

and in fact some of it was,

but we also found--
- We found powdered carbon.

- Carbon is sometimes used
as an antidote to poison,

is it not?
- Yes.

That is so.

- It appears the amount
of poison ingested

was only enough to render
the baby unconscious.

- So how did the baby die?

- Our conclusion
is lack of oxygen.

both: Asphyxiation.

changed their mind,

powdered charcoal.

perverse act of compassion.

She's not happy.

[string quartet playing]

♪ ♪

- I explicitly asked you
not to contact the Linareses,

and yet you did.

- I can see that you
are angry with me, Sara.

- Angry?
I'm not angry, Laszlo.

The word "anger" doesn't do
justice to what I feel.

What you did was a violation
of my trust, of our friendship.

- Even if you are angry
with me for the moment,

let us at least eat.

- You're infuriating.

- Madame, terrapène

Bon appetit.

- I do not want terrapin soup.

I don't like it.
I've never liked it.

And yet you insist on this
archaic notion

of ordering it for me.

You don't listen to me!

- What would you like to eat?

- In fact, I would like
a glass of bourbon with ice.

- In my defense--
- Don't.

- I think about the promise
I made to Martha Napp.

- You truly think
that Señora Linares

would benefit from a session
of hypnosis?

- I do so, Sara.

What is fascinating
about hypnosis

is that the memory
is not suppressed

as we would understand it.

The hypnotized self
is dissociated

from the waking self, and this
is what allows a patient

to see a lived experience anew,

as if in a dream.

- I could have lost this case,
Laszlo.

And I know I'm their only hope
of finding baby Ana.

Sometimes detective work
is about profiling;

sometimes it's about
simply observing.

- I did observe something
at the Spanish consulate today

that aroused my curiosity.

I saw a woman,
a member of the staff.

She let me in today

and appeared to be a close
confidante of the señora.

She was not presented
