00:07Why are we so lucky to live in Port Wynn?
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,
00:27so let's get you some information, Peter.
00:29Peter, where are you going? The bell hasn't rung yet?
00:33I'm checking myself out for lunch. I have an appointment.
00:36This is my fifth time seeing the birds. I'm going with my cousins, my mom, and her boyfriend.
00:41Boyfriends can be fun, Clarence.
00:42Who are you seeing the birds with, Miss Louisa?
00:46Uh, um.
00:49Okay, I got this, I got this, I got this, I got this. Okay.
00:51I think you totally got this.
00:52Stop talking.
00:53Oh, okay.
00:53And stay still.
00:54Okay.
00:55The needle is in.
00:58Great.
00:59And now I just need to simply...
01:01Yep.
01:02Push.
01:03Great.
01:04No, just don't even look down at it. Don't look down at it. Doc, you're looking at it. Doc, don't
01:07look down.
01:08No, no, no. Doc, you're actively looking down. Doc, look at me.
01:10No, I just, it doesn't, I can't. This is the fourth time. Still no good. I just...
01:15What kind of doctor can you do? I'm here for my checkup.
01:17Oh, crunk.
01:19Peter, we're not doing this again.
01:20I looked at my symptoms online, and I did cough once yesterday. So it's a swollen ankle.
01:27You don't have a swollen ankle.
01:28I'm pretty sure I'm having systolic heart failure.
01:32Peter, yesterday you came in with total lung collapse. The day before it was a brain tumor, and last Friday
01:36you had an aggravated case of Epstein-Barr.
01:39It 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
01:46on the internet.
01:47Which means what?
01:48You're becoming a hypochondriac.
01:50And what's the treatment for that?
01:51Go back to class.
01:53Shoot.
01:54What about scurvy? Did you check me for scurvy?
01:57I'm really sure I have it this time.
02:00Dear Dr. Best, what a pleasure to finally meet our handsome new physician.
02:06Now, my apartment is at 1. It's 1.02, and I do so dislike dawdling Millicent, sit down and quit
02:13skulking about.
02:14Now, doctor, if you'll take my hat, I will show myself into your examination room.
02:21Who's that bundle of scarves?
02:23Agnes Kloof. She's the sweetest lady. I love her. She was my piano teacher when I was seven.
02:28That's her sister, Millicent.
02:32Doctor, are you dilly-dallying?
02:34I've unpinned my brassiere.
02:38Please don't.
02:43So, for these stomach pains you're having, if they don't resolve in a few days with these antacids, I'm going
02:47to need you to come back here for more tests.
02:49Thank you, doctor.
02:50I simply can't be prevented from seeing the birds this weekend.
02:55Mother Nature's annual orgy of feathers and colors. Have you ever seen them?
02:59Once, as a boy. In fact, I just purchased some new binoculars.
03:03And when was the last time you made love?
03:06Sweet, sweet life-affirming intercourse.
03:11Is there no one special for a charming bachelor physician?
03:14Oh, dear doctor.
03:16The birds were meant to be seen together.
03:20By lovers.
03:22Okay, then.
03:23Uh, well, busy day.
03:24Um, patience to see.
03:27As 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.
03:38And to you.
03:40Millicent, have you been nibbling crackers?
03:42Where's my thermos?
03:44Mmm.
03:47Ah.
03:48Welcome to Port Wynn.
03:51So, uh, what show are we going to do today, Elaine?
03:54Oh, yeah.
03:55No, I'm not doing one.
03:57What's the point in more garbage from a garbage person?
04:01What?
04:02Oh!
04:03Oh!
04:11Really, Dr. Reese, birds in the office.
04:15So silly of you.
04:16Have a splendid day.
04:19Did you just see that?
04:20Honestly, I just, I think I need to take a step back and reassess.
04:23Okay.
04:24Even though I know how devastating this will be for my fans.
04:27Mm-hmm.
04:27Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:42Bye-bye.
04:44Bye-bye.
04:49Bye-bye.
05:27Hello.
05:29Hello.
05:29New binoculars?
05:31Yes, I just got these two.
05:33See the birds, yeah.
05:34Me too.
05:39Where are you planning to see them?
05:41Oh, 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.
05:47Oh, the Kloofs.
05:48It was a nice tradition that we had, seeing the birds together.
05:51But this year I'm making new traditions.
05:52So no Kloofs.
05:55No Mark.
06:01Well, maybe we should...
06:02Oh.
06:02Oh, I mean, would you like to...
06:05Oh, we could easily, yeah.
06:06Right, but nothing fancy.
06:08No, no, no, together.
06:09But not...
06:10Right, but nothing.
06:11Yeah.
06:11So tomorrow, Saturday, I'll...
06:138 a.m.?
06:14I'll pick you up.
06:15In your car?
06:16Well, not with my arms.
06:19Right.
06:19And I'll bring something to drink.
06:24And I'll bring...
06:27Sandwiches.
06:29Sandwiches.
06:29All right, sandwiches.
06:30Sandwiches.
06:31I love sandwiches.
06:32Okay, well, see you tomorrow.
06:33See you then.
06:34Bye.
06:34Okay.
06:38Well...
06:45They based the diagnosis on height and weight and a diet color.
06:50But according to the doctor, doctor, doctor website, I'm in the danger zone for people who might develop rickets, neurological
06:57polyps, or cranial misalignment.
07:00His 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.
07:08I think I may be looking at a case of parvovirus.
07:12Well, that would really be something, because only dogs get it.
07:14I read that, but I'm not sure.
07:16Okay, so we're gonna go down that ridge and then turn over there.
07:20Oh!
07:21Oh, my God, more people.
07:23Yay!
07:26Doctor!
07:30Dear Louisa, salutations!
07:33And who is this adorable Moppet?
07:35Oh, this is Peter Kronk.
07:36I have inner ear disorder.
07:38No, you don't.
07:39Doctor, sweet Aunt Sarah, our guardian angel, has kindly offered to escort us to the cliffs this year.
07:47Happy to do it.
07:48Oh, what a charming party we make.
07:51Peter, did you know, in 1951...
07:57You on a date?
07:58No.
07:59No, no, it's nothing like that.
08:01We both decided, separately, to spend the day together.
08:07She brought lunch and I brought a beverage.
08:10So, a date.
08:11Good for you.
08:12Sarah?
08:14Sarah?
08:14My firmness?
08:16Coming.
08:18What is it?
08:19What is it?
08:24It seems like your stomach is still bothering you.
08:27Are you sure you're up to this?
08:27Maybe we should go back.
08:28No, no, I'm perfectly fine.
08:31Nothing can tear me away from this chance to spot the golden-winged warbler.
08:37No, dragonflies.
08:40No, dragonflies.
08:41Millicent, do not touch that plant.
08:43I think you should come see me on Monday.
08:45I'd like to check your cognitive responses.
08:47We're on some basic brain health and memory tests.
08:49Don't do my brain as fit as a fiddle.
08:52This tea is my secret.
08:55Filled with nutrients from Mother Earth, we brew it ourselves.
09:01Oh, look.
09:02The birds are here.
09:06It's so beautiful.
09:08Oh, my God.
09:10Oh, my God.
09:11My muck.
09:13It's just how I remember.
09:18Look.
09:22Miss Louisa, I have to pee.
09:26Oh, okay.
09:27Yeah, of course.
09:27Just, you know, you can go into the woods there.
09:29Nobody will see you.
09:31Oh, no.
09:32No, thank you.
09:33I don't really enjoy drinking earth.
09:36Look.
09:37Look on that branch.
09:40It's the golden-winged warbler.
09:42I can't believe it.
09:44The golden-winged warbler.
09:46It's all I've ever dreamed of.
09:49What a very, very pretty bird.
09:51Do you know what?
09:52It's afternoon now.
09:54I think maybe we should be starting back.
09:55Ah, sweet songbird, guide me to your heart.
10:02Show me all your love forever.
10:08Wings in flight through day and night.
10:25My pee was kind of orange.
10:27Do I have obstructive bowel syndrome?
10:29Mom?
10:33Ah.
10:41Just doesn't make any sense.
10:44Well, if she tripped and fell.
10:46That's not what happened.
10:47She leapt like she thought she could fly or she was confused.
10:52They recovered the body, by the way, and I need you to sign the death cert.
10:57That's short for a certificate if you're up to it, Doc.
11:02I'm not signing this.
11:04Because you need a hug first.
11:05I'm never going to need a hug.
11:06Why not?
11:07I feel like you really need a hug.
11:08I'm not signing this because this was not an accident.
11:11No, she must have had some underlying condition that contributed to her mental instability.
11:16Oh, man.
11:17Underlying conditions are the worst.
11:19Okay, here.
11:20She had a urinary tract infection six months ago.
11:23Eesh.
11:23Now, it's rare, but maybe it blossomed into a case of UTI psychosis.
11:28What?
11:29That can happen.
11:30I need to speak with Millicent Kloof right now.
11:32Give her some time, Doc.
11:34You know, her sister was just smushed this morning.
11:36You can see her tomorrow at the reading.
11:38What reading?
11:39Of the will.
11:40Agnes' will.
11:41They're reading it tomorrow at dawn.
12:04Aunt Sarah, have you seen Millicent Kloof?
12:06I need to talk to her about her sister's medical...
12:09Oh, right.
12:12Right.
12:13I...
12:15Oh, you must be broken up about this.
12:17Losing a close friend.
12:19I wish I'd pushed that other one off the cliff when I had the chance.
12:24What?
12:27Look, it's a small town.
12:30We do people favors.
12:32I mean, it's just two old women up there on the top of that hill in that giant house all
12:37by themselves.
12:38So, I took them some groceries.
12:41Once.
12:42Next thing I know, I'm scrubbing out the shower.
12:46I'm changing the cat litter.
12:48I insulated the basement.
12:50I have been on call to those two old women around the clock for decades.
12:57And they're mean.
12:59Once I made an omelet for Agnes, and she didn't like it.
13:02So, she spit it into my hair.
13:06But, I'm thinking, Millicent's not going to last up there very long all by herself.
13:14I say starvation gets her before Christmas.
13:17And then, I'll be free.
13:21I am completely appalled.
13:26You and me both, sister.
13:29Come on.
13:30Let's go get this over with.
13:39I need to speak with Millicent.
13:40I'll be right back.
13:41No, no, no, no.
13:41Don't you do that after.
13:43Come down here and sit down with me.
13:44I just can't believe Agnes is actually gone.
13:48I can.
13:49Maybe you should keep your feelings a little more quiet and to yourself this morning.
13:53I'm sorry.
13:54I just had to vent.
13:56Agnes has just been so particularly bad these last few months.
14:01I just...
14:02What do you mean particularly bad?
14:03Just extra difficult.
14:05I mean, something must have just pushed her over the edge, you know.
14:11Mentally.
14:12Not...
14:13Good morning, everyone.
14:15Good morning.
14:16In honor of dear, sweet Agnes, who will be laid to rest next weekend.
14:21We've gathered to hear her final wishes laid out in a document entrusted to me.
14:30Oh, okay.
14:31Agnes' final, final wish was to have her final wishes read aloud by her most cherished confidant,
14:41Sarah Best.
14:42Most cherished, sir.
14:44It's more like it.
14:45Sarah.
14:46Okay, coming.
14:48Can I borrow those?
14:50Oh, well.
14:51Thanks.
14:51Yes.
14:53Yeah.
14:54Treasured friends, speak up, Sarah, and enunciate.
14:59That's Agnes.
15:00The following 29 pages shall detail the plans for my week-long celebration of life.
15:08All readings and recitals shall be organized promptly and efficiently by Sarah Best.
15:16This really should have been made in regards to my estate upon the death of my sister Millicent.
15:23Our home, the noble Kloof Mansion, the noble Kloof Mansion, erected in 1875 shall be gifted to the one person
15:31who looked after us selflessly for so many years, and a good and true soul, and the very backbone of
15:41Fort Wynn.
15:43The Kloof Mansion will be the new home of Clark Flanagan, our longtime property manager.
15:55Oh.
15:57Oh.
16:27Congrats, Clark.
16:27Bring our transgressions into the waters.
16:32Bon chance.
16:33Adieu.
16:35We're gonna need you down at the beach, Doc.
16:37Yes, the last time we did this water-whispering thing, some people got hypothermic.
16:40No, I need to talk to...
16:41No, if I have to go, you have to go.
16:44I mean, my brother has sold my house out from under me.
16:47I am practically homeless, and now they have given the mansion to Clark Flanagan, and I have to make a
16:53cornbread.
16:54Oh!
17:04Why, Dr. Best, you're soaking wet.
17:07Yes, I've been playing lifeguard to an alarming number of transgressors who do not know how to swim.
17:12Well, you're totally drenched.
17:13Why don't you just take everything off?
17:16Sally.
17:16Oh, come on.
17:17You love it.
17:18Our little will-they-won't-they repartee.
17:20I definitely don't, and we definitely won't.
17:22See?
17:23You can't resist.
17:24I'm checking up on one of Agnes Kloof's medications.
17:26Dr. Reese prescribed antibiotics six months ago for a UTI.
17:30Mm-hmm.
17:31Bactrim.
17:32Looks like she never picked that prescription up.
17:34So she never took the medication.
17:36Not as far as I know.
17:37Can you tell me exactly where the Kloof Mansion is?
17:41I need to speak with Millicent right away.
17:43Of course, but she won't be there.
17:45She should be over at the Salty Breeze by now.
17:46The Salty Breeze?
17:47Why?
17:48The first funeral event.
17:50Tonight is the recitation of Agnes's poetry.
17:54We can go together.
17:55Bye, Sally.
17:58He loves it.
18:03Hey, Dr. Best.
18:04Peter, I don't have time for any more nonsense.
18:06Remember the other day when I thought my pee was kind of orange?
18:10Well, actually, now I think it's brown.
18:12Mm-hmm.
18:13And try two PT, since I might have uterine cancer.
18:16You do not have a uterus.
18:18And if your urine is actually discolored, this isn't another imagined illness, then you need
18:23to come in tomorrow and give me a sample.
18:24So should we be considering ectopic pregnancy?
18:28Goodbye, Peter.
18:29Water is water, is water.
18:33Let it clean my form, caressing my body with its icy, cool grip.
18:40Wash over me.
18:41Isn't this incredibly moving?
18:43But I cry out, no, no, no, no.
18:50I think it speaks for itself.
18:51Until midnight, and the darkness destroys my gentle, hidden cervix.
18:58Thank you so much, Elaine.
19:01That was a very soulful reading of whatever that was.
19:06We're going to take a little break now before we move into our third hour.
19:11There's cornbread, lots of it.
19:13Help yourself.
19:15Please kill me immediately.
19:20It really makes you think, doesn't it, Doc?
19:22I mean, Agnes dedicated her life to the arts and to beauty.
19:27It's like, what am I dedicating my life to?
19:30How am I going to lift up people's souls?
19:33Hopefully not reciting any more poetry.
19:35All right.
19:42Miss Kloof?
19:42What?
19:44I've been wanting to talk with you all day.
19:46I am so sorry for your loss, but your sister, she had a urinary tract infection several months ago.
19:55I remember.
19:55Oh, you do?
19:56Well, you see, I believe Agnes may have developed a form of psychosis due to the untreated infection,
20:02which may explain why she acted as she did.
20:05In any event, I would like your permission to examine her body and to test her for...
20:10It's too late.
20:11I've already had her cremated.
20:14Oh, I didn't realize that you...
20:16Agnes died the way she lived, Doctor.
20:19Free.
20:20And now she's migrated to another plane.
20:23Migrated.
20:24Like the birds.
20:26Look.
20:28Oh.
20:29Oh.
20:29Oh.
20:31Like this bird.
20:33Oh.
20:33The golden-winged warbler.
20:44Crazy old bat.
20:46How much longer do you think she'll last, Doc?
20:56You don't seem to have a UTI, but I am concerned about your level of confusion.
21:04And considering what happened...
21:06Oh, yes.
21:07Poor Agnes.
21:09But now, Doctor, maybe there's real hope for you and I.
21:15What?
21:15Is your stomach bothering you?
21:17No.
21:18But, but yes.
21:19But, but no.
21:20I'll be fine.
21:21If I can take just the tiniest chip of my tea.
21:26Wait, stop.
21:27What's in this?
21:28Wait.
21:31Smells like mushroom.
21:33It's just tea, Doctor.
21:35Harmless home-brewed tea.
21:37We collect the mushrooms from the woods near our home.
21:40If you'd just excuse me one moment.
21:42Contact the lab.
21:43I want a rush analysis on this tea, and I need you to take Ms. Kloof home and stay with
21:47her.
21:47Stay there?
21:48Really?
21:49Why?
21:49I don't want her left alone.
21:50She's exhibiting similar symptoms to Agnes before she...
21:55All right.
21:57Wait, where are you going?
22:00I'm going hunting.
22:04I love this, Doc.
22:05Get the team back together again on a manhunt.
22:07Feels good.
22:08We're hunting mushrooms, not a man.
22:11The only reason I asked you to join is because I don't know these woods.
22:15Do you shine your flashlight under that log right there?
22:18Oh, hey, you mushrooms under that log.
22:20You come out with your stems up.
22:23No.
22:24Nothing.
22:26You should have asked Louisa to come out and help you with this, Doc.
22:29She knows all about mushrooms and stuff like that.
22:31She knows a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff.
22:35You know, science and how to teach kids to read.
22:37And what you're doing, a bee attack.
22:42But we don't need her.
22:43We got each other, buddy.
22:45We are not going to die unhappy and alone.
22:49Whoa.
22:50Hey, now, Clark.
22:52What are you all doing up here?
22:53This is private property.
22:55Well, we could be asking you the same thing.
22:57I managed this property.
22:59Been taking care of the Kloof's place in these woods for years.
23:02Right.
23:02And soon it will all be yours.
23:04We'll see about that.
23:06Look, we're just hunting for mushrooms.
23:07Then you got to go down that way.
23:10Back where it's wetter.
23:13Oh, I knew that.
23:15Thank you, Clark.
23:17Come on, Doc.
23:33Well, I thought the mushrooms might be poisonous or psychedelic, mind-altering.
23:39Oh, no.
23:39I've cooked with all of these.
23:41In fact, I put this one in the meatloaf that I made for the day that we went to see
23:46the birds.
23:48You made meatloaf?
23:49I did.
23:50I know we said nothing fancy, but I just...
23:52I made lemonade.
23:54Fresh.
23:55It was in a small bottle in my pocket.
24:00You did?
24:00Mm-hmm.
24:04Well, it's a shame that we didn't get to...
24:08Yes.
24:09Unfortunate.
24:10Yeah.
24:10Really?
24:14Well, I still have the meatloaf, and if you still have the lemonade, maybe we could, um...
24:21Get together properly.
24:23Sure.
24:24For a real...
24:27date.
24:31Hey, Doc.
24:32You home?
24:37Hey, partner.
24:38Okay.
24:39So I'm thinking we get out of here.
24:40Go get some brews.
24:41Talk about some buddy stuff.
24:43Hey, Louisa.
24:44Hey.
24:44Hi.
24:45Yeah.
24:45I, uh, I, uh, I called Louisa about the mushrooms.
24:49Yes.
24:49As you suggested.
24:50Cool.
24:51Doc.
24:53Doc.
24:53Do we have, like, Advil or Pepto-Gismol or something?
24:57But, Elaine, what are you doing here?
24:58I thought I told you to stay with Millicent Cluth.
24:59Yeah, you gotta, you gotta ask somebody else to do that, because I need a break in my stomach.
25:03This can't, like...
25:03Your stomach?
25:06That's just like Agnes and Millicent.
25:08Did you drink their tea?
25:09Yeah.
25:10Was I not supposed to drink?
25:12Okay, but, uh, because the mushrooms are fine, I mean, the tea's probably okay, right?
25:17Unless someone puts something into the tea.
25:20Did you guys know that the roof up at the Cluth Mansion has been leaking horribly for months?
25:25What?
25:26Ever since that big storm we had, the walls upstairs, they're just completely wrecked.
25:30It's so sad, I had no idea they were living like that.
25:33This is Dr. Martin Best.
25:34Uh, I had a rush order yesterday, an analysis of a liquid, some tea.
25:38Oh, Dr. Best, we haven't gotten to the tea yet, but we've been trying to reach you about Millicent Cluth's
25:44blood sample.
25:44Her blood? What about her blood?
25:45It showed very high levels of arsenic.
25:47But this smells so low.
25:48Arsenic?
25:52If you get in there, it's like the roof is coming.
25:54Oh!
25:56Arsenic.
25:57That would explain the delusions and the stomach pains.
25:59Oh, damn, it's a legit attempt to murder.
26:01What, but who would want to poison the Cluth sisters?
26:04It's that Clark Flanagan, he wants the house.
26:05I don't know, I'm not saying.
26:06It is a manhunt, Doc.
26:07Shoot, I should have worn my other pants.
26:09You guys, you're being so ridiculous.
26:12Clark Flanagan?
26:13He's so sweet, he's completely harmless.
26:15Actually, he's up at the Cluth Mansion right now,
26:18with Peter Kronk.
26:20With Peter?
26:20What, why is Peter there?
26:22They're going hunting in the woods, I think.
26:25Let's go!
26:26Yeah, yeah.
26:27I'm going to get my bag.
26:27Let's go!
26:28Oh, what do you mean?
26:30Oh, wait, what is this?
26:31Feel better.
26:32Drink as much water as you can.
26:34Yep, yep, right now.
26:35Hey, what's good?
26:36I folded so many funeral programs,
26:39I need muscle relaxants.
26:40What's going on?
26:41Sarah, I need you to stay here with Elaine.
26:42Get her to drink as much water as possible.
26:44The ambulance is meeting us at the Cluth Mansion.
26:46Come on.
26:46You may have had people exposed to a toxic substance.
26:48Someone's trying to kill Millicent Cluth!
26:56Really?
27:06Clark, we got to talk to you.
27:08Get away from that boy.
27:09He's not feeling well.
27:10Did you give him that tea?
27:11Did you poison these people?
27:12Poison them?
27:13You got to be kidding me.
27:14Those crazy old biddies are trying to leave this crumpling dump to me.
27:17You think I want to take on that tax burden?
27:18No way.
27:20Peter, Peter, are you all right?
27:22I don't feel well.
27:23Okay.
27:23I always look at him on Tuesday afternoons.
27:25We go looking for bugs and butterflies, but it's stumbling.
27:27We need to get Peter some water immediately.
27:31That old woman in there, she's not right in the head.
27:35Mark, let's go.
27:37Something bad in the house!
27:38Clark, don't move.
27:42Okay, I'm going to sweep the perimeter, but not like with a broom,
27:46because this place is a mess, you know?
27:47I'm just going to check all the rooms.
27:48Yeah, I understand what the...
27:50What are you doing?
27:52Just put...
27:54I understand what a perimeter chick is.
28:03Millicent?
28:13Millicent?
28:15Millicent?
28:16Millicent?
28:18Millicent?
28:18Millicent?
28:18Millicent?
28:18Millicent?
28:27Millicent?
28:32It's the wallpaper.
28:33What's happening up there, Doc?
28:35It's the wallpaper.
28:37Shields, copper green.
28:39Made with arsenic over 150 years ago.
28:42It's not dangerous unless disturbed.
28:44Oh, Dr. Best, you have come to me.
28:49No, Millicent, I came before you.
28:52You're being poisoned by the air in this room,
28:53and we need to get you out of this house right now.
28:55No, I'd rather fly like the golden-winged warbler
29:01to be free like a bird.
29:04No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
29:05Not flying today.
29:06Not this time.
29:10Okay, here.
29:10What do you mean the wallpaper?
29:12The water damage from the leaking roof
29:14unleashed a toxic cloud of arsenic.
29:16Let's put her down right here.
29:19Inhaled arsenic exposure causes stomach pains
29:21and then confusion.
29:22They'll be fine with some IV fluids,
29:24perhaps chelation therapy,
29:26and Millicent may require dialysis.
29:29Oh, Peter.
29:31Peter, Peter, Peter.
29:33You're saying the house did that to these people?
29:34The original wallpaper is toxic.
29:36I mean, it's very old, and...
29:37I hurt so bad, Miss Lisa.
29:39I know, sweetheart.
29:40You're gonna be okay, okay?
29:42What is it?
29:42That boy, as far as I know,
29:45he never went in the house.
29:46He never...
29:47He wasn't exposed to no toxic wallpaper.
29:49He's been holding his gut
29:50since I picked him up this morning.
29:52Well, then how...
29:52It hurts so bad.
29:53Okay, okay, sweetheart.
29:54Where does it hurt?
29:55My left shoulder.
29:57Your left shoulder?
29:58Where else?
29:58Now here.
29:59Now there?
29:59Okay.
30:00I looked at my symptoms online.
30:02My pee was kind of orange.
30:03There's nothing wrong.
30:04Do I have to start to vouch for you?
30:07Your left shoulder?
30:07Well, actually, now I think it's brown.
30:10It hurts so bad.
30:10Okay, okay, sweetheart.
30:12Where...
30:12Peter, you said your urine was brown.
30:14For how long?
30:15Three, four days since the birds?
30:17Yeah.
30:18Now does it hurt here
30:20or just up on your shoulder?
30:21Both, I think.
30:23Yep, got it.
30:24Hey, the ambulance is here.
30:25Okay, Mark,
30:26I need you to take Millicent
30:26to the hospital in your car.
30:28Clark, no one inside that house.
30:30All right, can't do it.
30:30I got a partner, I understand.
30:31If it's not arsenic,
30:32then what's going on?
30:33His spleen is dangerously enlarged
30:35and these things can come on very quick
30:36and he's been trying to tell me
30:38for last week,
30:38but I didn't take him seriously.
30:39I'm gonna call his mom.
30:40Okay.
30:40All right.
30:41No!
30:41I want to go home!
30:44What?
30:44Ah!
30:45Ah!
30:46Come on.
30:47Ah!
30:49Ah!
30:49Ah!
30:51Ah!
30:52Ah!
30:53Ah!
30:55Ah!
30:57Ah!
30:57Ah!
30:59Ah!
31:01Ah!
31:02It's that maybe you injured
31:03one of your important organs.
31:04Oh, which one?
31:06Your spleen.
31:10Will I be okay?
31:11If I have anything to do with it, yes.
31:16He's gonna be okay, Martin.
31:17Tell me he's gonna be okay.
31:18He's gonna be all right, Martin, right?
31:19He's gonna be all right.
31:19He's enlarged spleen,
31:20likely burst when he fell.
31:22He may have internal bleeding.
31:24You know, I've seen this kind of thing before.
31:26Kids fall down,
31:27eventually they get back up.
31:29It's probably just a cracked rib.
31:30Are you a doctor?
31:31Uh, no.
31:32I'm an EMT.
31:33Trainee.
31:34Okay.
31:35How long until we get to the hospital?
31:36Like a half hour?
31:37Oh, my God.
31:38A lot of traffic today.
31:39But he's gonna be fine, really.
31:43Oh, his blood pressure's way off.
31:46Wait, wait, wait.
31:46What's happening?
31:47He's bleeding out.
31:48Do you have saline?
31:49Uh, yeah.
31:50There's a 0.9 normal saline.
31:51Okay, get a line in him.
31:53Yeah, he needs fluids now.
31:55Now!
32:02I, uh, I can't find the vein.
32:05Because there's nothing in him.
32:06Here.
32:09Here, put his legs up.
32:12Okay.
32:16Okay.
32:23Okay.
32:25Okay, Louisa.
32:27Listen, I, I need you to squeeze that bag as hard as you can.
32:30Okay.
32:30Okay, and when it gets to the bottom, just twist it all the way out.
32:33Yeah, you got it.
32:34All right.
32:35Blood pressure?
32:36Still falling.
32:40Uh, we have to stop the bleeding.
32:54Do you have a blade?
32:56Yeah, but I don't have any anesthetic.
32:58He's out.
32:59He's not gonna feel anything.
33:01Okay, we're doing this.
33:07Uh, I need gloves, disinfectant, and he was dead.
33:11All right.
33:11Go on.
33:12Prep his upper left quadrant.
33:21Scalpel.
33:22What?
33:30I may bother.
33:31Oh, okay.
33:32That's okay.
33:33Uh, uh, yeah, you, yeah, you can vomit.
33:35What can you vomit in?
33:36Uh, you're gonna vomit in this bag.
33:38Can you vomit in this bag?
33:39Uh, this is my dinner, but...
33:40Yeah, yeah, he's gonna vomit in this bag.
33:42Okay.
33:44Okay, Martin.
33:44There you go.
33:45You got this, okay?
33:46Mm-hmm.
33:54Oh, my gosh.
33:57Oh.
34:00Here.
34:01Hold.
34:03Hold.
34:03Yeah.
34:04Yeah, it's his spleen.
34:06Okay, he missed that.
34:07He missed that.
34:08Hurry!
34:10Okay.
34:12If I can just, uh...
34:14Clamp the, uh...
34:19...splenic artery,
34:21I can buy us a little time.
34:27Damn it, it broke.
34:29Do you have another?
34:30No.
34:31I don't, I don't think so.
34:32I don't know.
34:33I'm just a trainee.
34:34Oh, my gosh.
34:35All right, just...
34:36All right.
34:37I'm just gonna have to hold it by hand.
34:42Martin, Martin, Martin, look at me.
34:44Martin, look at me.
34:45Look at me.
34:45Mm-hmm.
34:47Breathe.
34:48Yeah.
34:49Inhale.
34:50Mm-hmm.
34:51Exhale.
34:52Look at me.
34:53Look at me.
34:57BP's coming back.
34:59Okay.
35:00Okay.
35:04All right, that's all we can do.
35:05Just radio ahead.
35:06Tell him what we know.
35:08And tell him to have a functioning hemostat standing by.
35:15I need you to get him prepped for surgery right away.
35:18Bleeding stabilized.
35:20Alert the OR that he's landed.
35:22We'll take it from here.
35:23He's okay.
35:24He's gonna be okay.
35:26Let's cut him upstairs.
35:39Martin, you...
35:40I should have recognized Peter's symptoms sooner.
35:43I mean, if he hadn't been crying wolf for the last few weeks, I might have...
35:47Martin, please, don't blame yourself.
35:48What kind of doctor am I?
35:50I can't even deal with blood.
35:52Martin, stop it.
35:53Phobia or no phobia.
35:55You just saved that little boy's life.
35:56The adrenaline is what got me through.
35:58No, you got you through.
35:59Look, I...
36:00I saw it.
36:01I was right there.
36:03You dealt with all that other craziness, and you actually figured out what was wrong.
36:07You dealt with that idiot EMT.
36:09You saved Peter's life.
36:10You did that.
36:11You.
36:12You.
36:29Hey, Martin, buddy.
36:31We got Millicent over to the hospital.
36:33Not sure if you're here yet.
36:34But if...
36:43Um...
36:44Um, I'm gonna call you back, buddy.
36:54Home.
37:04What an insane night.
37:06You know, first arsenic poisoning, and then a splenectomy, and then...
37:13I'm sort of glad, though, that it happened this way.
37:18Feels like faked.
37:19Hmm.
37:21Are you...
37:22Do you...
37:22Would you like to...
37:23Are you coming in?
37:24I probably shouldn't.
37:25Oh.
37:27Okay.
37:28Um, why not?
37:29It's very late.
37:30I mean early.
37:31Very late from the previous day, making it early, you know, now.
37:36And we were both up all night in the hospital.
37:39I know, but I don't.
37:44Listen, I don't want to make you...
37:47We were both riding the adrenaline of the moment, but I'm happy to pretend it never happened.
37:57Pretend it never happened?
38:00Martin.
38:00No, well, just laugh it off.
38:04It's what we both want, I'm sure.
38:17Good night.
38:18Good night.
38:42Gone to heaven now, never to be forgotten.
38:45A beautiful woman.
38:47A beautiful woman.
38:48A wonderful life.
38:50Amen.
38:50Amen.
38:51Amen.
38:52In closing, Agnes requested the final words spoken over her ashes be those of Sarah Best.
39:00No.
39:02I made the cornbread, I made the headdresses, I let the naked midnight walk.
39:07I will not speak.
39:09I am done.
39:10You're making a spectacle of yourself.
39:12You have no idea the kind of spectacle I could make of myself.
39:16Well, it's, this is the end.
39:18Someone has to close the ceremony out.
39:21I mean, I suppose I could recite...
39:23Please don't.
39:25Um, I, I have Agnes' journal with me.
39:29I could read another poem.
39:30Okay.
39:31Oh, yes, dear.
39:32Please do.
39:32Okay.
39:34Okay.
39:45Sunrise, sunset, each day is a new opportunity to create beauty, to sing, dance, create,
39:59live, make poetry, make art, make love, but no light will shine forever.
40:10The sun will go down on all of us, and I choose to cherish these moments, and these faces before
40:21you, so when I do cross over into that magnificent sunlight.
40:31You will hear my happy song.
40:56Amen.
40:57Amen.
40:58Amen.
41:06Oh, my dear, that was wonderful.
41:09Do you know what?
41:11Now I think I know, like, exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.
41:15What are you going to do?
41:17I'm going to apply to drama school in New York.
41:19Oh.
41:21I'm an actress.
41:22Yes.
41:23You're an actress.
41:23Yes.
41:25Yes, you are.
41:27No.
41:30Easy changing.
41:32Summer's fading away.
41:36Feel the cold wind blowing on my face.
41:43Easy changing.
41:45So am I.
42:00Oh, look at that.
42:03Isn't it beautiful?
42:05Yes.
42:07Well, somebody's grumpy.
42:08Is it Peter?
42:10Thought you said he was going to be okay.
42:11He'll be fine.
42:12You can live well without a spleen.
42:14No, he'll be okay.
42:15Ooh.
42:17You know, I've been feeling a little bad, too.
42:20About?
42:21The Kloofs.
42:22Some things I've said.
42:25My whole attitude about them, really.
42:28The dirt I put in the cornbread.
42:32I'm kidding.
42:35But I do think I've been a little afraid that maybe I'm turning into them.
42:40Turning into Agnes Kloof?
42:42Yes.
42:43A mean old spinster without family.
42:47Without a house, even, if your father kicks me out.
42:52You don't have me.
42:53I'm your family.
42:54You can stay at my house, if necessary.
42:56We'll have each other.
43:02Ooh.
43:05You just remember, whatever is going on, everything passes just like the birds overhead.
43:13Look at that.
43:15Well, I hope they don't poop on me.
43:17Thanks, Phil.
43:18Thanks, Phil.
43:20Come on.
43:45It's very nice.
