00:06Why are we so lucky to live in Port Wynne?
00:14Because every year, millions of birds migrate down the continent, flying over our town.
00:22Now, I know that a lot of you have plans with your families to see the birds this weekend,
00:26so let's get you some information, Peter.
00:28Peter, where are you going? The bell hasn't rung yet?
00:32I'm checking myself out for lunch. I have an appointment.
00:35This is my fifth time seeing the birds. I'm going with my cousins, my mom, and your boyfriend.
00:40Boyfriends can be fun, Clarence.
00:41Who are you seeing the birds with, Miss Louisa?
00:47Uh, um...
00:48Okay, I got this, I got this, I got this, I got this. Okay.
00:50I think you totally got this one.
00:51Stop talking.
00:52Oh, okay.
00:52And stay still.
00:53Okay.
00:54The needle is in.
00:57Great.
00:58And now I just need to simply...
01:01Yep.
01:01Push.
01:02Great.
01:03And I just don't even look down at it. Don't look down at it.
01:05Doc, you're looking at it. Doc, don't look down.
01:07No, no, no. Doc, you're actively looking down. Doc, look at me.
01:10No, I just, it doesn't...
01:11I can't. It's the fourth time. Still no good.
01:13I just...
01:14What kind of doctor came here?
01:16I'm here for my checkup.
01:17Crunk.
01:18Peter, we're not doing this again.
01:20I looked at my symptoms online, and I did cough once yesterday.
01:25So it's a swollen ankle?
01:26You don't have a swollen ankle.
01:27I'm pretty sure I'm having systolic heart failure.
01:31Peter, yesterday you came in with total lung collapse.
01:33The day before it was a brain tumor, and last Friday you had an aggravated case of Epstein-Barr.
01:37It really is very concerning.
01:40No, I've thoroughly examined you twice, and there is nothing wrong except for a morbid fascination with grim diagnoses discovered
01:45on the Internet.
01:46Which means what?
01:47You're becoming a hypochondriac.
01:49And what's the treatment for that?
01:50Go back to class.
01:52Shoot.
01:53What about scurvy? Did we check me for scurvy?
01:56I'm really sure I have it this time.
01:59Dear Dr. Best, what a pleasure to finally meet our handsome new physician.
02:05Now, my apartment is at 1. It's 1.02, and I do so dislike dawdling, Millicent sit down and quit
02:12skulking about.
02:13Now, doctor, if you'll take my hat, I will show myself into your examination room.
02:20Who's that bundle of scarves?
02:22Agnes Kluf. She's the sweetest lady. I love her.
02:25She was my piano teacher when I was seven.
02:27That's her sister, Millicent.
02:31Doctor, are you dilly-dallying?
02:34I've unpinned my brassiere.
02:37Please don't.
02:42So, for these stomach pains you're having, if they don't resolve in a few days with these antacids,
02:46I'm going to need you to come back here for more tests.
02:48Thank you, doctor.
02:50I simply can't be prevented from seeing the birds this weekend.
02:54Mother Nature's annual orgy of feathers and colors. Have you ever seen them?
02:58Once, as a boy.
02:59In fact, I just purchased some new binoculars.
03:02And when is the last time you made love?
03:05Sweet, sweet life-affirming intercourse.
03:10Is there no one special for a charming bachelor physician?
03:13Oh, dear doctor.
03:16The birds were meant to be seen together.
03:19By lovers.
03:21Okay, then.
03:22Well, busy day.
03:23Patience to see.
03:26As for me, I've set my heart on spotting the golden-winged warbler this year.
03:33Most elusive bird on three continents.
03:36Well, then I wish you good luck.
03:37And to you.
03:39Millicent, have you been nibbling crackers?
03:41Where's my thermos?
03:48Welcome to Port Wynn.
03:50So, uh, what show are we going to do today, Elaine?
03:53Oh, yeah.
03:54No, I'm not doing one.
03:57What's the point in more garbage from a garbage person?
04:00What?
04:01Oh!
04:03I know.
04:04That sounds harsh.
04:05That's what I'm having.
04:08I'm just sort of doing it, Jim.
04:11Really, Dr. Reese, birds in the office.
04:14So silly of you.
04:16Have a splendid day.
04:18Did you just see that?
04:19Honestly, I just, I think I need to take a step back and reassess.
04:22Okay.
04:23Even though I know how devastating this will be for my fans.
04:26Mm-hmm.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Yeah.
04:38Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
05:43Mark and I used to take the Kloof sisters to see the birds every year.
05:46Oh, the Kloofs.
05:47It was a nice tradition that we had, seeing the birds together, but this year I'm making
05:51new traditions, so no Kloofs, no Mark.
06:00Well, maybe we should...
06:01Oh.
06:02I mean, would you like to...
06:04Oh, we could easily, yeah.
06:05Right, but nothing fancy.
06:07No, no, no, together, but not...
06:09Right, but nothing.
06:10Yeah.
06:10So tomorrow, Saturday...
06:128 a.m.?
06:13I'll pick you up.
06:14In your car?
06:15No, not with my arms.
06:18Right.
06:19And I'll bring something to drink.
06:23And I'll bring sandwiches.
06:28All right, sandwiches.
06:29Sandwiches.
06:30I love sandwiches.
06:31Okay, well, see you tomorrow.
06:33See you then.
06:33Bye.
06:33Okay, well.
06:41Wow.
06:44They based the diagnosis on height and weight and I call it.
06:49But according to the doctor, doctor, doctor website, I'm in the danger zone for people
06:54who might develop rickets, neurological polyps, or cranial misalignment.
06:59His mother had to work.
07:01Yes, and she said he'd be devastated if he didn't see the birds.
07:04But then I checked the CDC website.
07:07I think I may be looking at a case of parvovirus.
07:11Well, that would really be something because only dogs get it.
07:13I read that, but I'm not sure.
07:15Okay, so we're gonna go down that ridge and then turn over there.
07:20Oh!
07:21Oh, my God, more people.
07:22Yay!
07:28Dr. Louisa, salutations.
07:32And who is this adorable Moppet?
07:34Oh, this is Peter Kronk.
07:35I have inner ear disorder.
07:37No, you don't.
07:38And doctor, your sweet Aunt Sarah, our guardian angel, has kindly offered to escort us to the
07:45cliffs this year.
07:46Happy to do it.
07:47Oh, what a charming party we make.
07:50Peter, did you know, in 1951, the birds would be...
07:56You're on a date?
07:57No.
07:58No, it's nothing like that.
08:00We both decided, separately, to spend the day together.
08:06She brought lunch and I brought a beverage.
08:09So, a date.
08:10Good for you.
08:12Sarah?
08:13My firmus?
08:15Coming.
08:16What is it?
08:18What is it?
08:19Yeah.
08:23It seems like your stomach is still bothering you.
08:26Are you sure you're up to this?
08:27Maybe we should go back.
08:28No, no, I'm perfectly fine.
08:30Nothing can tear me away from this chance to spot the golden-winged warbler.
08:36Oh, dragonflies!
08:40Millicent, do not touch that plant.
08:42I think you should come see me on Monday.
08:44I'd like to check your cognitive responses around some basic brain health and memory tests.
08:48Don't do my brain is as fit as a fiddle.
08:52This tea is my secret.
08:54Filled with nutrients from Mother Earth, we brood ourselves.
09:00Oh, look, the birds are here.
09:05It's so beautiful.
09:08Oh, my God.
09:09Oh, my God, Martin, look.
09:12It's just how I remember.
09:17Look!
09:22Miss Louisa, I have to pee.
09:25Oh, okay.
09:26Yeah, of course.
09:27Just, you know, you can go into the woods there.
09:28Nobody will see you.
09:30Oh, no.
09:31No, thank you.
09:32I don't really enjoy drinking Earth.
09:35Look.
09:36Look on that branch.
09:39It's the golden-winged warbler.
09:41I can't believe it.
09:43The golden-winged warbler.
09:46It's all I've ever dreamed of.
09:48What a very, very pretty bird.
09:50Do you know what?
09:51But it's afternoon now.
09:53I think maybe we should be starting back.
09:55Ah, sweet songbird, guide me to your heart.
10:02Show me all your love forever.
10:07Wings in flight through day and night.
10:14Your beauty is my life.
10:24My pee was kind of orange.
10:26Do I have obstructive bowel syndrome?
10:32Huh?
10:39Just doesn't make any sense.
10:41Well, if she tripped and fell...
10:43That's not what happened.
10:44She leapt.
10:46Like she thought she could fly.
10:48She was confused.
10:49They recovered the body, by the way.
10:52And I need you to sign the death cert.
10:54That's short for a certificate.
10:55If you're up to it, Doc.
11:00I'm not signing this.
11:01Because you need a hug first.
11:02I'm never going to need a hug.
11:04Why not?
11:04I feel like you really need a hug.
11:05I'm not signing this because this was not an accident.
11:08Oh, she must have had some underlying condition
11:11that contributed to her mental instability.
11:13Oh, man.
11:14Underlying conditions are the worst.
11:16Okay, here.
11:17She had a urinary tract infection six months ago.
11:20Yeah.
11:20Now, it's rare, but maybe it blossomed into a case of UTI psychosis.
11:26What?
11:26That can happen?
11:27I need to speak with Millicent Kloof right now.
11:29Give her some time, Doc.
11:31You know, her sister was just smushed this morning.
11:33You can see her tomorrow at the reading.
11:35What reading?
11:36Of the will of Agnes' will.
11:38They're reading it tomorrow at dawn.
11:39I need to talk to her about her sister's medical...
12:06Oh, right.
12:09Right.
12:10Right.
12:11I...
12:12Oh, you must be broken up about this.
12:15Losing a close friend.
12:16I wish I'd pushed that other one off the cliff when I had the chance.
12:21What?
12:25Look, it's a small town.
12:27We do people favors.
12:30I mean, it's just two old women up there on the top of that hill in that giant house all
12:34by themselves, so I took them some groceries once.
12:40Next thing I know, I'm scrubbing out the shower.
12:44I'm changing the cat litter.
12:46I insulated the basement.
12:48I have been on call to those two old women around the clock for decades, and they're mean.
12:56Once I made an omelet for Agnes, and she didn't like it, so she spit it into my hair.
13:03But, I'm thinking, Millicent's not going to last up there very long all by herself.
13:11I say starvation gets her before Christmas.
13:15And then, I'll be free.
13:18I am completely appalled.
13:24You and me both, sister.
13:26Come on.
13:28Let's go get this over with.
13:36I need to speak with Millicent.
13:37I'll be right back.
13:38No, no, no, no.
13:39Don't you do that after.
13:40Come down here and sit down with me.
13:42I just can't believe Agnes is actually gone.
13:45I can.
13:46Maybe you should keep your feelings a little more quiet and to yourself this morning.
13:50I'm sorry.
13:52I just had to vent.
13:54Agnes has just been so particularly bad these last few months.
13:58What do you mean particularly bad?
14:00Just extra difficult.
14:02I mean, something must have just pushed her over the edge, you know, mentally.
14:09Not that.
14:10Good morning, everyone.
14:12Good morning.
14:14In honor of dear sweet Agnes, who will be laid to rest next weekend.
14:18We've gathered to hear her final wishes laid out in a document, entrusted to me.
14:27Oh, okay.
14:29Agnes' final, final wish was to have her final wishes read aloud by her most cherished confidant,
14:38Sarah Best.
14:39Most cherished, sir.
14:41It's more like it.
14:42Sarah.
14:43Okay, coming.
14:46Can't borrow those.
14:47Oh, well.
14:48Thanks.
14:49Yes.
14:50Yeah.
14:51Treasured friends, speak up, Sarah, and enunciate.
14:56That's Agnes.
14:57The following 29 pages shall detail the plans for my week-long celebration of life.
15:06All readings and recitals shall be organized promptly and efficiently by Sarah Best.
15:14This really should have been me.
15:15In regards to my estate, upon the death of my sister Millicent, our home, the noble Kloof
15:23Mansion, erected in 1875, shall be gifted to the one person who looked after us selflessly
15:30for so many years and a good and true soul and the very backbone of Fort Wynn, the Kloof Mansion
15:42will be the new home of Clark Flanagan, our longtime property manager.
15:52Oh, congrats, Clark.
15:56Regarding the festivities leading up to my burial, we have day one, a celebration of song
16:05and dance, day five, Sarah Best will make floral headdresses and cornbread for the entire
16:15town.
16:16This is all just so awful for Agnes.
16:18She just hadn't been herself lately.
16:20In what way?
16:21Shh.
16:21Let us begin today by going down to the sea and whispering our transgressions into the
16:27waters.
16:29Bon chance.
16:30Adieu.
16:32We're going to need you down at the beach, Doc.
16:34Yes, the last time we did this water whispering thing, some people got hypothermic.
16:37No, I need to talk to...
16:39No, if I have to go, you have to go.
16:42I mean, my brother has sold my house out from under me.
16:44I am practically homeless, and now they have given the pension to Clark Flanagan, and I have
16:50to make Uncle Martin bread.
17:01Why, Doc, your best?
17:03You're soaking wet.
17:04Yes.
17:04I've been playing lifeguard to an alarming number of transgressors who do not know how
17:08to swim.
17:09Well, you're totally drenched.
17:10Mm-hmm.
17:11Why don't you just take everything off?
17:13Sally.
17:14Oh, come on.
17:14You love it.
17:15Our little will-they-won't-they repartee.
17:17I definitely don't, and we definitely won't.
17:20See?
17:20You can't resist.
17:21I'm checking up on one of Agnes Kloof's medications.
17:24Dr. Reese prescribed antibiotics six months ago for a UTI.
17:27Mm-hmm.
17:29Bactrim.
17:29Looks like she never picked that prescription up.
17:32So she never took the medication?
17:33Not as far as I know.
17:34Can you tell me exactly where the Kloof mansion is?
17:39I need to speak with Millicent right away.
17:40Of course, but she won't be there.
17:42She should be over at the Salty Breeze by now.
17:44The Salty Breeze?
17:44Why?
17:45The first funeral event tonight is the recitation of Agnes's poetry.
17:51We could go together.
17:52Thanks, Ellie.
17:55He loves it.
18:00Hey, Dr. Best.
18:02Peter, I don't have time for any more nonsense.
18:03Remember the other day when I thought my pee was kind of orange?
18:07Well, actually, now I think it's brown.
18:10Mm-hmm.
18:10And Chai-2 PT says I might have uterine cancer.
18:13You do not have a uterus.
18:16And if your urine is actually discolored,
18:18this isn't another imagined illness,
18:20then you need to come in tomorrow and give me a sample.
18:22So should we be considering ectopic pregnancy?
18:25Goodbye, Peter.
18:27Water is water is water.
18:30Let it clean my form,
18:33caressing my body with its icy, cool grip.
18:37Wash over me.
18:39Isn't this incredibly moving?
18:40But I cry out, no, no, no, no.
18:47I think it speaks for itself.
18:49Until midnight,
18:50and the darkness destroys my gentle hidden cervix.
18:55Thank you so much, Ellie.
18:58That was a very soulful reading of whatever that was.
19:04We're going to take a little break now before we move into our third hour.
19:08There's cornbread, lots of it.
19:10Help yourself.
19:13Please kill me immediately.
19:17It really makes you think, doesn't it, Doc?
19:19I mean, Agnes dedicated her life to the arts and to beauty.
19:24It's like, what am I dedicating my life to?
19:28How am I going to lift up people's souls?
19:30Hopefully not reciting any more poetry.
19:32All right.
19:39Miss Kloof?
19:40What?
19:41I've been wanting to talk with you all day.
19:44I am so sorry for your loss,
19:46but your sister,
19:48she had a urinary tract infection several months ago.
19:52I remember.
19:53Oh, you do?
19:54Well, you see,
19:54I believe Agnes may have developed a form of psychosis
19:57due to the untreated infection,
19:59which may explain why she acted as she did.
20:02In any event,
20:03I would like your permission to examine her body
20:06and to test her for...
20:07It's too late.
20:09I've already had her cremated.
20:11Oh, I didn't realize that you...
20:13Agnes died the way she lived, Doctor.
20:16Free.
20:17And now she's migrated to another plane.
20:20Migrated.
20:21Like the birds.
20:24Look.
20:25Oh, oh.
20:28Like this bird.
20:30Oh, the golden-winged wolf.
20:32Blah.
20:41Crazy old bat.
20:43How much longer do you think she'll last, Doc?
20:51You don't seem to have a UTI,
20:55but I am concerned about your level of confusion.
20:59And considering what happened...
21:01Oh, yes.
21:03Poor Agnes.
21:04But now, Doctor, maybe there's real hope for you and I.
21:10What?
21:11Is your stomach bothering you?
21:12No.
21:13But, but, but yes, but, but no.
21:15I'll be fine if I can take just the tiniest chip of my tea.
21:21Wait, stop.
21:22What's in this?
21:24It smells like mushroom.
21:28It's just tea, Doctor.
21:30Harmless home-brewed tea.
21:32We collect the mushrooms from the woods near our home.
21:35If you'd just excuse me one moment.
21:38Contact the lab.
21:39I want a rush analysis on this tea,
21:40and I need you to take Miss Kloof home and stay with her.
21:43Stay there?
21:43Really?
21:44What?
21:45I don't want her left alone.
21:46She's exhibiting similar symptoms to Agnes before she...
21:51All right.
21:53Wait, where are you going?
21:55I'm going hunting.
21:59I love this, Doc.
22:01Getting the team back together again on a manhunt.
22:03It feels good.
22:04We're hunting mushrooms, not a man.
22:06The only reason I asked you to join is because I don't know these woods.
22:10Do you shine your flashlight under that log right there?
22:13Oh, hey, you mushrooms under that log.
22:15You come out with your stems up.
22:19No, nothing.
22:22You should ask Luisa to come out and help you with this, Doc.
22:24She knows all about mushrooms and stuff like that.
22:27She knows a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff.
22:30You know, science and how to teach kids to read.
22:33What you're doing to be attacking.
22:37But we don't need her.
22:39We got each other, buddy.
22:41We are not going to die unhappy and alone.
22:44Whoa.
22:45Hey, now, Clark.
22:47What are y'all doing up here?
22:49This is private property.
22:50Well, we could be asking you the same thing.
22:52I manage this property.
22:54Been taking care of the Kloof's place in these woods for years.
22:58And soon it will all be yours.
22:59We'll see about that.
23:01Look, we're just hunting for mushrooms.
23:03Then you gotta go down that way.
23:05Back where it's wetter.
23:07Oh, man.
23:08I knew that.
23:10Thank you, Clark.
23:13Come on, Doc.
23:20Come on, Doc.
23:28Well, I thought the mushrooms might be poisonous or psychedelic, mind-altering.
23:34Oh, no.
23:35I've cooked with all of these.
23:36In fact, I put this one in the meatloaf that I made for the day that we went to see
23:42the birds.
23:43You made meatloaf?
23:44I did.
23:46I know we said nothing fancy, but I just...
23:48Mm-hmm.
23:48I made lemonade.
23:50Fresh.
23:51It was in a small bottle in my pocket.
23:55You did?
23:56Mm-hmm.
23:59Well, it's a shame that we didn't get to...
24:04Yes.
24:04Unfortunate.
24:05Yeah.
24:06Really.
24:09Well, I still have the meatloaf, and if you still have the lemonade, maybe we could...
24:17Get together properly.
24:19Sure.
24:20For a real...
24:22date.
24:26Hey, Doc.
24:27You home?
24:30I just...
24:32Hey, partner.
24:33Okay.
24:34So I'm thinking we get out of here.
24:35Go get some brews.
24:36Talk about some buddy stuff.
24:38Hey, Louisa.
24:39Hey.
24:40Hi.
24:40Yeah.
24:41I, uh...
24:42I called Louisa about the mushrooms.
24:44Yes.
24:44As you suggested.
24:45Cool.
24:46Doc.
24:48Do we have, like, Advil or Pepto-Bismol or something?
24:51Thanks.
24:52Elaine, what are you doing here?
24:53I thought I told you to stay with Millicent Clouf.
24:55Yeah, you gotta...
24:56You gotta ask somebody else to do that, because I need a break in my stomach.
24:58This can't, like...
24:59Your stomach?
25:01That's just like Agnes and Millicent.
25:03Did you drink their tea?
25:05Yeah.
25:06Was I not supposed to drink?
25:07Okay, but, uh...
25:08Because the mushrooms are fine, I mean, the tea's probably okay, right?
25:12Unless someone puts something into the tea.
25:15Did you guys know that the roof up at the Clouf Mansion has been leaking horribly for months?
25:21What?
25:21Ever since that big storm we had, the walls upstairs, they're just completely wrecked.
25:26It's so sad.
25:26I had no idea they were living like that.
25:28This is Dr. Martin Best.
25:29Uh, I had a rush order yesterday.
25:32An analysis of a liquid, some tea.
25:34Oh, Dr. Best.
25:35We haven't gotten to the tea yet, but we've been trying to reach you about Millicent Clouf's blood sample.
25:39Her blood?
25:40What about her blood?
25:41It showed very high levels of arsenic.
25:42But this smells its love.
25:44Arsenic?
25:47If you get in there, it's like the roof is coming.
25:50Oh!
25:52Arsenic.
25:53That would explain the delusions and the stomach pains.
25:55Oh, damn, it's a legit attempt to murder.
25:57What?
25:57Who would want to poison the Clouf sisters?
25:59It's that Clark Flanagan.
26:00He wants the house.
26:01I don't know.
26:01It is a manhunt, Doc.
26:03Shoot, I should have worn my other pants.
26:04You guys, you're being so ridiculous.
26:07Clark Flanagan?
26:09He's so sweet.
26:10He's completely harmless.
26:11Actually, he's up at the Clouf mansion right now with Peter Kronk.
26:15With Peter?
26:16What?
26:16Why is Peter there?
26:17They're going hunting in the woods, I think.
26:21Let's go!
26:22Yeah.
26:22I'm going to get my bag.
26:23Let's go!
26:25Oh!
26:25Wait, what is this?
26:27Feel better.
26:28Stay here.
26:28Drink as much water as you can.
26:29Yep, yep, right now.
26:31Hey, what's good?
26:32I folded so many funeral programs, I need muscle relaxants.
26:36What's going on?
26:36Sarah, I need you to stay here with Elaine.
26:38Get her to drink as much water as possible.
26:39The ambulance is meeting us at the Clouf mansion.
26:41Come on.
26:42You may have had people exposed to a toxic substance.
26:44Someone's trying to kill Millicent Clouf!
26:51Really?
27:00Mark!
27:00We got to talk to him.
27:01Get away from that boy.
27:02He's not feeling well.
27:03Did you give him that take?
27:04Did you poison these people?
27:06Poison them?
27:06You got to be kidding me.
27:07Those crazy old biddies are trying to leave this crumbling dump to me.
27:10You think I want to take on that tax burden?
27:12No way.
27:14Peter?
27:14Peter, are you all right?
27:15I don't feel well.
27:17Okay.
27:17I always look at him on Tuesday afternoons.
27:19We were looking for bugs and butterflies, but it's stumbling.
27:21We need to get Peter some water.
27:22Immediately.
27:25That old woman in there, she's not right in the head.
27:28Mark, let's go.
27:30There's something bad in that house!
27:32Clark, don't move.
27:36Okay, I'm going to sweep the perimeter, but not like with a broom, because this place
27:40is a mess, you know?

41:15You're an actress.

42:02You can live well without a spleen.

42:05Ooh.
42:07You know, I've been feeling a little bad, too.

42:10About the Kloofs, some things I've said, my whole attitude about them, really, the dirt
42:19I put in the cornbread.
42:22I'm kidding.
42:25But I do think I've been a little afraid that maybe I'm turning into them.
42:29Turning into Agnes Kloof?
42:31Yes.
42:32A mean old spinster without family, without a house, even, if your father kicks me out.
42:42You have me.
42:43I'm your family.

42:46We'll have each other.
42:52Ooh.
42:54You just remember, whatever is going on, everything passes just like the birds overhead.
43:03Look at that.
43:05I hope they don't poop on me.
43:33I hope they don't poop on me.
43:36In fact, I hope they don't poop on me today.
