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.
04:34Mm-hmm.
04:45Mm-hmm.
04:49Mm-hmm.
04:56I don't know.
05:28Hello.
05:29Hello.
05:30New binoculars?
05:31Yes.
05:32I just got these to you.
05:33See the birds.
05:34Yeah.
05:34Me too.
05:39Where are you planning to see?
05:41Oh, I know a trail that leads right out to the cliffs.
05:44Perfect 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, so no Kloofs.
05:55No Mark.
06:01Well, maybe we should...
06:02Oh.
06:03I mean, would you like to...
06:05Oh, we could easily, yeah.
06:06Right, but nothing fancy.
06:08No, no, together.
06:08But not...
06:10Right, but nothing.
06:11Yeah.
06:11So tomorrow, Saturday, I...
06:138 a.m.?
06:14I'll pick you up.
06:15In your car?
06:15Well, not with my arms.
06:19Right.
06:19And I'll bring something to drink.
06:24And I'll bring sandwiches.
06:29Alright, sandwiches.
06:30Sandwiches.
06:31I love sandwiches.
06:32Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow.
06:33See you then.
06:34Bye.
06:34Okay, well.
06:42Wow.
06:45They based the diagnosis on height and weight and eye color.
06:50But according to the doctor, doctor, doctor website, I'm in the danger zone.
06:54For people who might develop rickets, neurological polyps, 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.
07:12That 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!
07:25Yay!
07:30Dr. Louisa, salutations!
07:33And who is this adorable Moppet?
07:35This is Peter Kronk.
07:36I have inner ear disorder.
07:38No, you don't.
07:39And doctor, 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.
07:50Peter, did you know, in 1951...
07:56You on a date?
07:58No.
07:59No, 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.
08:13Sarah?
08:14My furnace?
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.
08:37Oh, 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, and my brain is as fit as a fiddle.
08:52Oh, this tea is my secret.
08:54Filled with nutrients from Mother Earth, we brewed ourselves.
09:01Oh, look!
09:02The birds are here!
09:06It's so beautiful.
09:08Oh, God.
09:10Oh, my God, my muck.
09:13It's just how I remember.
09:15Oh!
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.
10:09Wings in flight through day and night.
10:14Your beauty is my love.
10:19Oh!
10:25My pee was kind of orange.
10:27Do I have oestructive bowel syndrome?
10:29Mom?
10:41It just 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.
10:51She was confused.
10:52They recovered the body, by the way,
10:54and I need you to sign the death cert.
10:57That's short for a certificate.
10:58If you're up to it, Doc.
11:02I'm not signing this.
11:04Because you need a hug first.
11:05I'm never gonna need a hug.
11:06Why not? I feel like you really need a hug.
11:08I'm not signing this because this was not an accident.
11:10Oh, she must have had some underlying condition
11:14that contributed to her mental instability.
11:16Oh, man. Underlying conditions are the worst.
11:19Okay, here.
11:20She had a urinary tract infection six months ago.
11:23Now, it's rare, but maybe it blossomed into a case
11:27of UTI psychosis.
11:28What? That 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. Agnes's 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.
12:12Right.
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
12:21when I had the chance.
12:24What?
12:27Look.
12:28It'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
12:35in that giant house all by themselves,
12:38so I took them some groceries once.
12:42Next thing I know, I'm scrubbing out the shower.
12:46I'm changing the cat litter.
12:49I insulated the basement.
12:51I have been on call to those two old women.
12:54Round the clock for decades.
12:57And they're mean.
12:59Once I made an omelet for Agnes,
13:01and she didn't like it.
13:03So she spit it into my hair.
13:06But I'm thinking,
13:09Millicent's not gonna last up there very long
13:11all by herself.
13:14I say starvation gets her before Christmas.
13:18And then I'll be free.
13:21I am completely appalled.
13:27You and me both, sister.
13:29Come on.
13:31Let'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
13:51and 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.
14:11Not.
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.
14:32Agnes' final, final wish was to have her final wishes read aloud by her most cherished confidant,
14:40Sarah Best.
14:42Most cherished sir, it's more like it.
14:45Sarah.
14:46Okay, coming.
14:49Can I borrow those?
14:50Oh, well.
14:51Thanks.
14:51Yes.
14:52Yeah.
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 me.
15:18In regards to my estate, upon the death of my sister Millicent, our home, the noble Kloof
15:26Mansion, erected in 1875, shall be gifted to the one person who looked after us selflessly
15:33for so many years, and a good and true soul, and the very backbone of Fort Wynn.
15:43The Kloof Mansion will be the new home of Clark Flanagan, our longtime property manager.
15:56Oh.
15:57Congrats, Clark.
15:58Regarding the festivities leading up to my burial, we have day one, a celebration of song
16:08and dance, day five, Sarah Best will make floral headdresses and cornbread for the entire town.
16:18This is all just so awful.
16:20Poor Agnes.
16:21She just hadn't been herself lately.
16:23In what way?
16:24Let us begin today by going down to the sea and whispering 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.
16:40You know, 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, I am practically homeless, and now
16:48they have given the mansion to Clark Flanagan, and I have to make a cornbread!
17:04Why, Doctor Best, you're soaking wet.
17:07Yes, I've been playing lifeguard to an alarming number of transgressors who do not know how
17:11to swim.
17:12Well, you're totally drenched.
17:13Mm-hmm.
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.
17:24Checking 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 could go together.
17:55Bye, Sally.
17:58He loves it.
18:03Hey, Doctor 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 Chachi PT says I might have uterine cancer.
18:16You do not have a uterus.
18:18And if your urine is actually discolored,
18:21this isn't another imagined illness,
18:22then you need to come in tomorrow and give me a sample.
18:24So should we be considering ectopic pregnancy?
18:28Goodbye, Peter.
18:30Water is water is water.
18:33Let it clean my form.
18:35Caressing my body with its icy cool grip.
18:40Wash over me.
18:41Isn't this incredibly moving?
18:43But I cry out, no.
18:45No.
18:47No.
18:48No.
18:50I think it speaks for itself.
18:51Until midnight.
18:52And 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 gonna take a little break now before we move into our third hour.
19:11There's cornbread, lots of it.
19:13Help yourself.
19:16Please kill me immediately.
19:20It really makes you think, doesn't it, Doc?
19:22I mean, Agnes dedicated her life to the arts.
19:26Into beauty.
19:27It's like, what am I dedicating my life to?
19:30How am I gonna lift up people's souls?
19:33Hopefully not reciting any more poetry.
19:35All right.
19:41Miss Kloof?
19:42What?
19:44I've been wanting to talk with you all day.
19:47I am so sorry for your loss, but your sister, she had a urinary tract infection several
19:54months 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.
20:22Migrated.
20:24Like the birds.
20:27Look.
20:28Oh.
20:29Oh.
20:29Oh.
20:30Oh.
20:31Oh.
20:31Like this bird.
20:33Oh.
20:33The golden-winged warbler.
20:36Oh.
20:37Oh.
20:40Oh.
20:40Oh.
20:41Oh.
20:42Oh.
20:42Oh.
20:42Oh.
20:42Oh.
20:43Oh.
20:43Oh.
20:44Oh.
20:46Oh.
21:02Oh.
21:05Oh.
21:07Oh.
21:09Oh.
21:11Oh.
21:14Oh.
21:18Oh.
21:20Oh.
21:21Oh.
21:21Oh.
21:21Oh.
21:21Oh.
21:21Oh.
21:22if I can take just the tiniest chip of my tea.
21:25Wait, stop.
21:27What's in this?
21:32Smells 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
21:45and I need you to take Ms. Kloof home and stay with her.
21:47Stay there, really?
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.
22:05Getting 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
22:12is because I don't know these woods.
22:15Can 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 ask Luisa 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,
22:38and what you're doing, a bee attack, and...
22:42But we don't need her.
22:43We got each other, buddy.
22:45We are not gonna 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 gotta go down that way.
23:09Back where it's wetter.
23:12Oh!
23:13I 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?
24:04Well, it's a shame that we didn't get to...
24:08Yes.
24:09Unfortunate.
24:10Yeah.
24:13Well, I still have the meatloaf.
24:17And if you still have the lemonade, maybe we could, um...
24:21Get together properly.
24:23Sure.
24:24For a real...
24:26date.
24:31Hey, Doc.
24:32You home?
24:34I just...
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.
24:42Hey, Louisa.
24:44Hey.
24:44Hi.
24:45Yeah.
24:45I, uh...
24:46I called Louisa about the mushrooms.
24:49Yes.
24:49As you suggested.
24:50Cool.
24:51Doc.
24:52Do we have, like, Advil or Pepto-Gismol or something?
24:57But...
24:57Elaine, what are you doing here?
24:58I thought I told you to stay with Millicent Clouf.
24:59Yeah.
25:00You gotta...
25:00You gotta ask somebody else to do that.
25:02Cause I need a break in my stomach.
25:03It's killing...
25:03Your stomach?
25:06Uh...
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...
25:12Because 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 Clouf 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.
25:31I had no idea they were living like that.
25:33This is Dr. Martin Best.
25:34Uh, I had a rush order yesterday.
25:37An analysis of a liquid, some tea.
25:39Oh, Dr. Best.
25:40We haven't gotten to the tea yet, but we've been trying to reach you about Millicent Clouf's blood sample.
25:44Her blood? What about her blood?
25:45It showed very high levels of arsenic.
25:47But this smells so slow.
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?
26:01Who would want to poison the Clouf sisters?
26:04It's that Clark Flanagan.
26:05He wants the house.
26:05I don't know.
26:06It is a manhunt, Doc.
26:07Shoot.
26:08I should have worn my other pants.
26:09You guys, you're being so ridiculous.
26:12Clark Flanagan?
26:13He's so sweet.
26:14He's completely harmless.
26:15Actually, he's up at the Clouf Mansion right now with Peter Kronk.
26:19With Peter?
26:20What?
26:21Why is Peter there?
26:22They're going hunting in the woods, I think.
26:24I can't.
26:25Let's go!
26:26Yeah, yeah.
26:27I'm going to get my bag.
26:27Let's go!
26:28Oh!
26:28What do you mean?
26:30Oh, wait.
26:30What is this?
26:31Feel better, feel better.
26:32Drank as much water as you can.
26:34Yep, yep.
26:34Right now.
26:35Hey, what's good?
26:36I folded so many funeral programs, I 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 Clouf Mansion.
26:46Come on!
26:46You may have had people exposed to a toxic substance.
26:48Someone's trying to kill Millicent Clouf!
26:56Really?
27:06Clark!
27:07We've got to talk to him!
27:08Get away from that boy!
27:09He's not feeling well!
27:10Did you give him that take?
27:11Peter?
27:11Did you poison these people?
27:12Poison them?
27:13You've got to be kidding me!
27:14Those crazy old biddies are trying to leave this crumpling dumped on me.
27:17You think I want to take on that tax burden?
27:18No way!
27:20Peter?
27:21Peter, are you alright?
27:22I don't feel well.
27:23Okay.
27:23I always look at him on Tuesday afternoons.
27:25We were looking for bugs and butterflies, but his stomach...
27:27You need to get Peter some water.
27:29Immediately.
27:31That old woman in there, she's not right in the head.
27:35Mark, let's go.
27:37There's something bad in the house!
27:38Clark!
27:39Don't move!
27:42Okay.
27:43I'm going to sweep the perimeter.
27:45But not like with a broom.
27:46Because this place is a mess, you know?
27:47I'm just going to check all the rooms.
27:49Yeah, I understand what the...
27:50What are you doing?

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'll have me.
42:53I'm your family.
42:54You can stay at my house, if necessary.

43:02Ooh.
