00:06Why are we so lucky to live in Port Wynn?
00:13Because 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. Peter, 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. Stop talking.
00:52Oh, okay. And 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.
01:03No, 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... I can't. It's the fourth time. Still no good. I just...
01:14What kind of doctor can you use?
01:16I'm here for my check-up.
01:17Oh, crunk.
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?
01:26Yeah, you 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.
01:38It 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?
01:51Go back to class.
01:52Shoot.
01:53What about scurvy?
01:55Did 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 appointment is at 1.
02:07It's 1.02, and I do so dislike dawdling Millicent, sit down and quit skulking about.
02:14Now, 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.
02:23She's the sweetest lady.
02:25I love her.
02:25She was my piano teacher when I was seven.
02:27That's her sister, Millicent.
02:30Hmm.
02:31Doctor?
02:32Are 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 gonna need you to come back here for more tests.
02:48Thank you, doctor.
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:50I simply can't be prevented from seeing the birds this weekend.
02:54Mother Nature's annual orgy of feathers and colors.
02:57Have you ever seen them?
02:58Once, as a boy.
03:00In fact, I just purchased some new binoculars.
03:02And when is the last time you made love?
03:06Sweet, sweet life-affirming intercourse.
03:10Is there no one special for our charming bachelor physician?
03:13Oh, dear doctor.
03:16The birds were meant to be seen together.
03:19By lovers.
03:21Okay, then.
03:22Uh, well, busy day.
03:23Um, patience to see.
03:26As for me,
03:28I'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?
03:43Mm.
03:46Ah.
03:48Welcome to Port Wynn.
03:50So, uh, what show are we gonna do today, Elaine?
03:53Yeah, no, I'm-I'm not doing one.
03:57What's the point in more garbage from a garbage person?
04:00What?
04:01Oh!
04:02Oh!
04:03I know.
04:04That sounds harsh.
04:05I'm having...
04:11Really?
04:11Dr. Reese?
04:13Birds 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.
04:25Mmh huh!
04:26Hmm.
04:26Yeah.
04:26Yeah, it was great, yeah.
04:28Mmmh, yeah.
04:28Yeah.
04:30Yeah.
04:49Sure.
04:51loars!
04:52Yeah.
04:52Fat açs.
04:54It's taking a while and to never surrender.
04:55It's tight!
04:55Yeah, yeah.
04:55Oh, my God.
05:27Hello.
05:28Hello.
05:29New binoculars?
05:30Yes.
05:31I just got these to you.
05:33See the birds, yeah.
05:34Me too.
05:39Where are you planning to see...
05:40Oh, I know a trail that leads right off to the cliffs.
05:43Perfect view.
05:44Mark and I used to take the Clouf sisters to see the birds every year.
05:46Oh, the Cloufs.
05:47It was a nice tradition that we had, seeing the birds together.
05:50But this year, I'm making new traditions.
05:52So, no Cloufs.
05:55No 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.
06:11Tomorrow, Saturday...
06:128 a.m.?
06:13I'll pick you up.
06:14In your car?
06:15No, not with my arms.
06:18Right.
06:18And I'll bring something to drink.
06:23And I'll bring sandwiches.
06:28Sandwiches.
06:29All right, sandwiches.
06:29Sandwiches.
06:30I love sandwiches.
06:31Okay, well, see you tomorrow.
06:33See you then.
06:33Bye.
06:34Okay.
06:34Okay, well.
06:41Wow.
06:44They based the diagnosis on height and weight and eye color.
06:49But according to the Dr. Dr. Dr. website, I'm in the danger zone for people who might develop
06:55rickets, 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.
07:19Oh!
07:21Oh, my God!
07:21More 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 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.
08:09Oh, a date.
08:10Good for you.
08:12Sarah?
08:13My firm is...
08:15Coming.
08:17What 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.
08:28I'm perfectly fine.
08:30Nothing can tear me away from this chance to spot the golden-winged warbler.
08:36Oh!
08:38Dragonflies!
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.
08:46We're on some basic brain health and memory tests.
08:48Don't do my brain is as fit as a fiddle.
08:51This tea is my secret.
08:54Filled with nutrients from Mother Earth, we brew it ourselves.
09:00Oh, look!
09:02The birds are here!
09:05It's so beautiful.
09:08Oh, God.
09:09Oh, my God, Martin, look.
09:13It's just how I remember.
09:15Oh.
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...
09:35Earth.
09:36Look.
09:37Look 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?
09:51It's afternoon now.
09:53I think maybe we should be starting back.
09:55Ah, sweet songbird.
09:58Guide me to your heart.
10:01Show me all your love forever.
10:07Wounds in flight through day and night.
10:15Your beauty is my love.
10:24My pee was kind of orange.
10:26Do I have obstructive bowel syndrome?
10:38It just doesn't make any sense.
10:41Well, if she tripped and fell...
10:43That's not what happened.
10:45She 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.
11:07Oh, 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.
11:20Eh.
11:21Now, it's rare,
11:22but 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, Agnes.
11:37Well, they're reading it tomorrow at dawn.
12:01Aunt Sarah, have you seen Millicent Kloof?
12:03I need to talk to her about her sister's medical...
12:06Oh, right.
12:09Right.
12:10I...
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
12:18when 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
12:33in that giant house all by themselves,
12:35so I took them some groceries once.
12:40Next thing I know,
12:41I'm scrubbing out the shower.
12:44I'm changing the cat litter.
12:45I insulated the basement.
12:48I have been on call to those two old women.
12:51Round the clock for decades.
12:54And they're mean.
12:56Once I made an omelet for Agnes,
12:58and she didn't like it,
13:00so she spit it into my hair.
13:03But I'm thinking,
13:06Millicent's not going to last up there very long
13:09all 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
13:48a 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
13:57these last few months.
13:59I just...
13:59What do you mean particularly bad?
14:00Just extra difficult.
14:02I mean, something must have just pushed her over the edge,
14:07you know, mentally.
14:09Not that.
14:10Good morning, everyone.
14:12Good morning.
14:14In honor of dear sweet Agnes,
14:16who will be laid to rest next weekend.
14:18We've gathered to hear her final wishes
14:21laid out in a document
14:24entrusted to me.
14:27Oh, okay.
14:29Agnes's final, final wish
14:31was to have her final wishes read aloud
14:34by her most cherished confidant,
14:38Sarah Best.
14:40Most cherished, sir.
14:41It's more like it.
14:42Sarah.
14:43Okay, coming.
14:46Can I borrow those?
14:47Oh, well...
14:48Thanks.
14:49Yes.
14:50Yeah.
14:51Treasured friends,
14:53speak up, Sarah,
14:54and enunciate.
14:56That's Agnes.
14:58The following 29 pages
15:00shall detail the plans
15:02for my week-long celebration of life.
15:06All readings and recitals
15:08shall be organized promptly
15:10and efficiently by Sarah Best.
15:14This really should have been me.
15:16In regards to my estate,
15:18upon the death of my sister Millicent,
15:21our home,
15:22the noble Kloof Mansion,
15:24erected in 1875,
15:26shall be gifted
15:26to the one person
15:28who looked after us selflessly
15:31for so many years,
15:32and a good and true soul,
15:36and the very backbone of Fort Wynn.
15:40The Kloof Mansion
15:42will be the new home of...
15:47Clark Flanagan,
15:49our longtime property manager.
15:53Oh.
15:54Congrats, Clark.
15:56Regarding the festivities
15:57leading up to my burial,
15:59we have day one,
16:03a celebration of song and dance.
16:06day five,
16:08Sarah Best
16:09will make floral headdresses
16:12and cornbread
16:13for the entire town.
16:16This is all just so awful for Agnes.
16:18She just hadn't been herself lately.
16:20In what way?
16:21Let us begin today
16:22by going down to the sea
16:24and whispering our transgressions
16:26into the waters.
16:29Bon chance.
16:31Adieu.
16:32We're gonna need you
16:33down at the beach, Doc.
16:34Yes, the last time
16:35we did this water whispering thing,
16:36some people got hypothermic.
16:38You know, I need to talk to...
16:39No, if I have to go,
16:40you have to go.
16:42I mean, my brother
16:42has sold my house
16:43out from under me.
16:44I am practically homeless,
16:45and now they have given
16:46the mansion
16:47to Clark Flanagan
16:48and I have to make
16:50a cornbread.
16:52Oh!
17:01Why, Dr. Best,
17:03you're soaking wet.
17:04Yes, I've been playing lifeguard
17:06to an alarming number
17:07of transgressors
17:08who do not know how to swim.
17:09Well, you're totally drenched.
17:11Mm-hmm.
17:11Why don't you just
17:11take everything off?
17:13Sally.
17:13Oh, come on.
17:14You love it.
17:15Our little will-they-won't-they repartee.
17:17I definitely don't,
17:18and we definitely won't.
17:20See?
17:20You can't resist.
17:21I'm checking up
17:22on one of Agnes Kloof's medications.
17:24Dr. Reese prescribed antibiotics
17:25six months ago
17:26for a UTI.
17:27Mm-hmm.
17:29Bactrim.
17:29Looks like she never
17:30picked that prescription up.
17:32So she never took the medication.
17:33Not as far as I know.
17:34Can you tell me
17:36exactly where
17:37the Kloof mansion is?
17:39I need to speak
17:39with Millicent right away.
17:40Of course,
17:41but she won't be there.
17:42She should be over
17:43at the Salty Breeze by now.
17:44The Salty Breeze?
17:44Why?
17:45The first funeral event
17:46tonight is the recitation
17:48of Agnes's poetry.
17:51We can go together.
17:52Thanks, Ellie.
17:55He loves it.
18:00Hey, Dr. Best.
18:02Peter, I don't have time
18:02for any more nonsense.
18:03Remember the other day
18:05when I thought my pee
18:06was kind of orange?
18:07Well, actually,
18:08now I think it's brown.
18:10Mm-hmm.
18:10And Chachi PT
18:11says I might have
18:12uterine cancer.
18:13You do not have a uterus.
18:16And if your urine
18:17is actually discolored,
18:18this isn't another
18:19imagined illness,
18:20then you need to come in tomorrow
18:21and give me a sample.
18:22So should we be considering
18:23ectopic pregnancy?
18:25Goodbye, Peter.
18:27Water is water
18:28is water.
18:30Let it clean my form,
18:33caressing my body
18:35with its icy, cool grip.
18:37Wash over me.
18:39Isn't this incredibly moving?
18:40But I cry out,
18:42no, no, no, no.
18:47I think it speaks for itself.
18:49Until midnight,
18:50and the darkness destroys
18:52my gentle, hidden cervix.
18:55Thank you so much, Elaine.
18:59That was a very soulful reading
19:01of whatever that was.
19:04We're going to take
19:04a little break now
19:05before we move
19:07into our third hour.
19:09There's cornbread,
19:10lots of it.
19:11Help yourself.
19:13Please kill me immediately.
19:17It really makes you think,
19:19doesn't it, Doc?
19:19I mean, Agnes dedicated
19:21her life to the arts
19:23and to beauty.
19:24It's like,
19:25what am I dedicating my life to?
19:28How am I going to lift up
19:29people's souls?
19:30Hopefully not reciting
19:31any more poetry.
19:32All right.
19:39Miss Kloof?
19:41I've been wanting
19:42to talk with you all day.
19:44I am so sorry for your loss,
19:46but your sister,
19:49she had a urinary tract infection
19:51several months ago.
19:52I remember.
19:53Oh, you do?
19:54Well, you see,
19:55I believe Agnes may have developed
19:56a form of psychosis
19:57due to the untreated infection,
19:59which may explain
20:00why she acted as she did.
20:02In any event,
20:03I would like your permission
20:05to 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,
20:15doctor.
20:16Free.
20:17And now she's migrated
20:19to another plane.
20:20Migrated.
20:21Like the birds.
20:28Like this bird.
20:30The golden-winged warbler.
20:41Crazy old bat.
20:44How much longer
20:44do you think she'll last,
20:45doc?
20:52You don't seem
20:53to have a UTI,
20:55but I am concerned
20:57about your level
20:58of confusion.
20:59And considering
21:00what happened...
21:01Oh, yes.
21:03Poor Agnes.
21:04But now, doctor,
21:06maybe there's real hope
21:08for you and I.
21:08Oh, my God.
21:11What?
21:11Is your stomach bothering you?
21:12No.
21:13But...
21:14But yes.
21:15But no.
21:15I'll be fine
21:16if I can take
21:18just the tiniest chip
21:20of my tea.
21:21Wait, stop.
21:22What's in this?
21:27Smells like mushroom.
21:28It's just tea, doctor.
21:30Harmless home-brewed tea.
21:32We collect the mushrooms
21:34from the woods
21:34near our home.
21:35If you'd just excuse me
21:36one moment.
21:37Contact the lab
21:38I want a rush analysis
21:40on this tea
21:40and I need you
21:41to take Ms. Kloof home
21:41and stay with her.
21:43Stay there?
21:44Really?
21:44What?
21:45I don't want her left alone.
21:46She's exhibiting similar symptoms
21:47to 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
22:02on a manhunt.
22:03That feels good.
22:04We're hunting mushrooms,
22:05not a man.
22:06The only reason I asked you
22:07to join is because
22:08I don't know these woods.
22:10Can you shine your flashlight
22:11under that log right there?
22:13Oh, hey, you mushrooms
22:15under that log,
22:15you come out
22:16with your stems up.
22:19No, nothing.
22:22You should ask
22:22Louisa to come out
22:23and help you with this, doc.
22:24She knows all about mushrooms
22:26and stuff like that.
22:27She knows a lot of stuff
22:28about a lot of stuff.
22:30You know, science
22:31and how to teach kids
22:32to read
22:33and what you're doing
22:34to a bee attack
22:35and...
22:37But we don't need her.
22:39We got each other, buddy.
22:41We are not
22:42going to die
22:43unhappy and alone.
22:44Whoa.
22:46Hey, now, Clark.
22:47What are you all
22:48doing up here?
22:49This is private property.
22:50Well, we could be
22:51asking you the same thing.
22:52I managed this property.
22:54Been taking care
22:55of the Clif's place
22:56in these woods for years.
22:58And soon,
22:58it will all be yours.
22:59We'll see about that.
23:01Look, we're just
23:02hunting for mushrooms.
23:03And you gotta go down
23:04that way.
23:05Back where it's wetter.
23:07Oh, man.
23:09I knew that.
23:10Thank you, Clark.
23:13Come on, doc.
23:21Come on, doc.
23:28Well, I thought
23:30the mushrooms
23:30might be poisonous
23:31or psychedelic,
23:33mind-altering.
23:34Oh, no.
23:35I've cooked
23:35with all of these.
23:36In fact, I, uh...
23:38I put this one
23:39in the meatloaf
23:40that I made
23:41for the day
23:41that we went
23:42to see the birds.
23:43You made meatloaf?
23:44I did.
23:46I know we said
23:47nothing fancy,
23:47but I just...
23:48I made lemonade.
23:50Fresh.
23:51It wasn't up.
23:52Small bottle
23:53in my pocket.
23:55You did?
23:56Mm-hmm.
23:59Well, it's, uh...
24:01a shame
24:02that we didn't, uh,
24:03get to...
24:04Yes.
24:04Unfortunate.
24:05Yeah.
24:06Really.
24:09Well, I still have
24:11the meatloaf,
24:12and if you still have
24:14the lemonade,
24:16maybe we could, um...
24:17Get together
24:18properly.
24:19Sure.
24:20For real.
24:22date.
24:26Hey, Doc!
24:27You home?
24:30Listen.
24:32Hey, partner!
24:33Okay!
24:34So I'm thinking
24:34we get out of here,
24:35go get some brews,
24:36talk about some
24:37buddy stuff.
24:38Hey, Louisa!
24:39Hey!
24:40Hi!
24:40Yeah, I, uh,
24:43I called Louisa
24:44about the mushrooms.
24:44Yes.
24:44As you suggested.
24:45Cool.
24:47Doc!
24:48Do we have, like,
24:49Advil or Pepto-Bismol
24:51or something?
24:52Elaine, what are you
24:53doing here?
24:53I thought I told you
24:54to stay with
24:55Millicent Cluth.
24:55Yeah, you gotta ask
24:56somebody else to do that
24:57because I need a break
24:58in my stomach.
24:59It's killing me.
24:59Your stomach?
25:01That's just like
25:02Agnes and Millicent.
25:04Did you drink their tea?
25:04Yeah.
25:06Was I not supposed
25:07to drink?
25:07Okay, but, uh,
25:08because the mushrooms
25:09are fine, I mean,
25:10the tea's probably
25:11okay, right?
25:12Unless someone
25:13puts something
25:14into the tea.
25:15Did you guys know
25:16that the roof
25:17up at the Cluth
25:18mansion has been
25:18leaking horribly
25:19for months?
25:21What?
25:21Ever since that
25:21big storm we had,
25:22the walls upstairs,
25:24they're just
25:24completely wrecked.
25:26It's so sad.
25:26I had no idea
25:27they were living
25:27like that.
25:28This is Dr. Martin Best.
25:29Uh, I had a rush
25:31order yesterday,
25:32an analysis of a
25:33liquid, some tea.
25:34Oh, Dr. Best.
25:35We haven't gotten
25:36to the tea yet,
25:37but we've been
25:37trying to read you
25:38about Millicent
25:39Cluth's blood sample.
25:39Her blood?
25:40What about her blood?
25:41It showed very
25:41high levels of arsenic.
25:42But this smells
25:43it's low.
25:44Arsenic?
25:47If you get in there,
25:48it's like the roof
25:49is coming.
25:50Oh!
25:52Arsenic.
25:53That would explain
25:53the delusions
25:54and the stomach pains.
25:55Oh, damn,
25:55it's a legit
25:56attempt to murder.
25:57What, but who
25:57would want to poison
25:58the Cluth sisters?
25:59It's that Clark Flanagan.
26:00He wants the house.
26:01Well, I don't know.
26:01It is a manhunt, Doc.
26:03Shoot, I should have
26:03worn my other pants.
26:04You guys,
26:05you're being so ridiculous.
26:07Clark Flanagan?
26:09He's so sweet.
26:10He's completely harmless.
26:11Actually, he's up
26:11at the Cluth mansion
26:13right now
26:14with Peter Kronk.
26:15With Peter?
26:16Wait, why is Peter there?
26:17They're going hunting
26:18in the woods, I think.
26:21Let's go!
26:22Yeah, yeah.
26:22I'm gonna get my bag.
26:23Let's go!
26:23Oh, what do you mean?
26:25Oh, wait.
26:26Okay, what is this?
26:27Feel better.
26:27Stay here.
26:28Drink as much water
26:29as you can.
26:29Yep, yep, right now.
26:31Hey, what's good?
26:32I folded so many
26:33funeral programs,
26:34I need muscle relaxants.
26:36What's going on?
26:36Sarah, I need you
26:37to stay here with Elaine.
26:38Get her to drink
26:38as much water as possible.
26:39The ambulance is meeting
26:40us at the Cluth mansion.
26:41Come on.
26:42You may have had people
26:42exposed to a toxic substance.
26:44Someone's trying
26:44to kill Millicent Cluth!
26:51Really?
27:00Mark, we gotta talk to you.
27:01Get away from that boy.
27:02He's not feeling well.
27:03Did you give him that tea?
27:05Did you poison these people?
27:06Poison them?
27:06You gotta be kidding me.
27:07Those crazy old biddies
27:08are trying to leave
27:09this crumbling,
27:10dumping me.
27:10You think I want to take
27:11on that tax burden?
27:12No way.
27:14Peter?
27:14Peter, are you all right?
27:15I don't feel well.
27:16Okay.
27:17I always looked at him
27:18on Tuesday afternoons.

27:20and butterflies,
27:20but his stomach...

27:22some water immediately.
