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.
04:25Mm-hmm.
04:26Yeah.
04:26Yeah.
04:29.
04:30.
04:30.
05:31And I just got these to you.
05:33See the birds, yeah.
05:34Me too.
05:39Where are you planning to see them?
05:40Oh, I know a trail that leads right off to the cliffs.
05:43Perfect view.
05:44Mark 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.
06:02Yeah.
06:03I mean, would you like to...
06:04Oh, we could easily, yeah.
06:05Right, but nothing fancy.
06:07No, I don't know, together, but not...
06:09Right, but nothing.
06:10Yeah, tomorrow, Saturday, it's...
06:138 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.
06:28Sandwiches.
06:29All right, sandwiches.
06:29Sandwiches.
06:30I love sandwiches.
06:31Okay, well, see you tomorrow.
06:33See you then.
06:33Fine.
06:34Okay, well.
06:41Wow.
06:44They based the diagnosis on height and weight and a dietolic, but according to the doctor,
06:51doctor, doctor website, I'm in the danger zone for people who might develop rickets,
06:56neurological 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.
07:05But 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, more people!
07:22Yay!
07:28Dr. Louisa, salutations!
07:32And who is this adorable moppin'?
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.
08:09So, a date.
08:10Good for you.
08:12Sarah, my firmus!
08:15It's coming.
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, 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.
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.
09:12It'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.
09:29Oh, no.
09:31No, thank you.
09:32I don't really enjoy drinking earth.
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.
10:02Show me all your love forever.
10:08Wounds in flight
10:10through day and night.
10:15Your beauty is my life.
10:20Oh, yeah.
10:22Oh, yeah.
10:22Oh, yeah.
10:23Oh, my pee was kind of orange.
10:26Do I have obstructive bowel syndrome?
10:32Oh.
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,
10:51and 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.
11:05Look, I'm not signing this because this was not an accident.
11:08Oh, she must have had some underlying condition that 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, 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.
11:37Agnes' will.
11:38They're reading it tomorrow at dawn.
12:01And Sarah, have you seen Millicent Kloof?
12:03I need to talk to her about her sister's medical...
12:06Oh, right.
12:08Agh.
12:09Agh.
12:11I...
12:12Agh.
12:13Agh.
12:13Agh.
12:13You 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?
12:24Look.
12:25It's a small town.
12:28We 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.
12:45I 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, and she didn't like it, so she spit it into my hair.
13:03But, I'm thinking, Millicent's not gonna last up there very long all by herself.
13:11I say starvation gets her before Christmas.
13:15And then, I'll be free.
13:19I 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. I'll be right back.
13:38No, no, no, no. Don'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.
13:59I just...
13:59What do you mean, particularly bad?
14:00Just extra difficult.
14:02I mean, something must have just pushed her over the edge, you know.
14:08Mentally.
14:09Not that...
14:10Good morning, everyone.
14:12Good morning.
14:13Good 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.
14:40Most 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.
14:49Here.
14:50Yeah.
14:51Treasured friends.
14:53Speak up, Sarah, and enunciate.
14:56That's Agnes.
14:58The following 29 pages shall detail the plans for my week-long celebration of life.
15:05All readings and recitals shall be organized promptly and efficiently by Sarah Best.
15:14This really should have been me.
15:16In 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.
15:41The Kloof Mansion will be the new home of Clark Flanagan, our long-time property manager.
15:52Oh.
15:54Congrats, Clark.
15:56Regarding the festivities leading up to my burial, we have day one, a celebration of
16:05song and dance.
16:06Day five, Sarah Best will make floral headdresses and cornbread for the entire town.
16:16This is all just so awful for Agnes.
16:18She just hadn't been herself lately.
16:20In what way?
16:21Shh.
16:21Let us begin today by going down to the sea and whispering our transgressions into the
16:27waters.
16:29Bon chance.
16:31Adieu.
16:32We're gonna need you down at the beach, Doc.
16:34Yes, the last time we did this water whispering thing, some people got hypothermic.
16:38You know, 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, I am practically homeless, and now
16:45they have given the mansion to Clark Flanagan, and I have to make Uncle Martin Brad.
17:01Why, Dr. 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.
17:35Can 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.
17:47Tonight is the recitation of Agnes's poetry.
17:51We can go together.
17:52Bye, Sally.
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.
18:10And Chachi 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,
18:19then 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.
18:29Is 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.
18:42No.
18:43No.
18:44No.
18:46No.
18:47I think it speaks for itself.
18:49Until midnight.
18:50And the darkness destroys my gentle hidden cervix.
18:55Yes.
18:55Thank you so much.
18:59That 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.
19:11Help 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.
19:23And 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, she had a urinary tract infection several months ago.
19:52I remember.
19:53Oh, you do?
19:54Well, you see, I believe Agnes may have developed a form of psychosis due to the untreated infection.
19:59Which may explain why she acted as she did.
20:02In any event, I would like your permission to examine her body and 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.
20:21Migrated.
20:21Like the birds.
20:24Look.
20:25Oh.
20:26Oh.
20:28Like this bird.
20:30The-
20:30Oh!
20:31The golden-winged wobbler.

20:38Oh!
20:39Oh!
20:39Oh!
20:41Crazy old bat.

24:58stomach it's killing your stomach that's just like Agnes and Millicent did you drink their tea yeah

25:42levels of arsenic this smells it's love arsenic if you get in there it's like the roof is coming

25:56murder who would want to poison the clue sisters it's that Clark Flanagan he wants the house I don't
26:01know it is a manhunt doc shoot I should have worn my other pants you guys you're being so ridiculous
