they agreed to extend the deadline to after midnight."

The dance rehearsal, polital action

This is how transference happens,

how delusion is made.

Delusion, Sara,

Maybe Patricia's fantasies about witches,

they are her way of processing some other form of intrigue.

you make yourself in the image of its creator.

You empty yourself

Watch your step,

It's been snowing.

Everything is pretty.

And again, slowly.

Yeah. Okay.

Good. Good.

Good evening, good night

with cloves adorned

slip under the covers.

Tomorrow morning, if God wills

you will wake once again.

This is not the way to do it, Doctor.

I nearly called the police myself.

You haven't been well, I know.

Who are you? How did you get in here?

Wait outside.

I regret what my daughters did to you.

I wasn't in a position to prevent it.

I believe you deserve to know the truth.

Your wife did try to make it south

to Teplice.

She was apprehended by border guards

in the woods just outside of Glashuütte.

She was then taken to Theresienstadt camp.

She lived there for 20 days.

On the 11th of November, 1943,

the commandant of the camp, a man named Burger...

ordered all 40,000 detained there

...ordered all 40,000 detained there

stand outside in the cold for a census.

Hours and hours passed.

Some hundreds died of exposure.

Your wife had two women with her as she died.

Women she had befriended,

who made her feel that she was not alone.

Her final thoughts...

were of a birthday

when you took her to a concert as a surprise.

Chopin and Brahms.

[whimpering, sobbing]

It was the first time you held her hand.

She was cold when she died.

But she wasn't afraid.

She was thinking only of you.

[Klemperer sobbing softly]

Of Anke Meier...

...of Patricia Hingle...

...of Sara Simms...

...of Susanna Bannion,

of all the women of your undoing...

...every memory will vanish.

They will melt away in the sun

and be gone.

We need guilt,

Doctor.

And shame

But not yours.

[gasping, choking]

[dish shatters]

- Herr Doktor. - [gasping continues]

Herr Doktor.

[shuddering]

[taking deep breaths]

Who are you?

Miss Sesame!

- Ja? - Ja.
