surprise to me too father well I wish

I'd known sooner I hardly expected

anything like this well many of the old

families in this area have private

burial grounds no what I mean is I've

never seen glass sprinkled on graves

before is that a local custom to lure a

local scandal the glass is supposed to

ward off evil spirits keep them from

stealing the soul of the department I

ancestry but a proud and powerful line

rich in history strong in spirit and

these things you should know the Kristof

legacy is a treasure beyond price but it

cannot be given you must search for it

my enemies are defeated yours perhaps

lie dormant there are many dangers

you are a new beginning and beginnings

take time it will not be in vain for

blood calls to blood and will not be

denied

signed Pauline Christophe I will leave

notify me when dr. Cunningham arrives

and I will come back and read the will

hey no no wait a minute man no I mean I

mean you know he could be dead you know

I mean ever what Philip means mr. ladoo

is that we all have jobs to get back to

I mean we just can't stay here

indefinitely I understand that and I

will return one week from tonight and if

dr. Cunningham is not here then I will

proceed to read the will and we will

conclude the matter good night I said

dumbest thing I am who is dr. Cunningham

he's the only smart one he had better

sense to go trip away to hell and back

just cause some old broads him a letter

and died before he's ready in the dining

room Thomas you've been with Colleen a

long time I'm sure you must know more

about the Christoph's than the crystals

I have spent more than 20 years in

deserves this was Miss pollens favorite

room

it contains the portraits of all of the

key stops I know every face on this wall

I think there were my own family

Pauline sounded like she was very proud

of him her ancestors I mean she had

reason to be Henri Christophe was Miss

bullying's great-great-grandfather he

led his people out of slavery and

founded a nation here that Moses was a

brother I would not joke mr. Philip he

was a great man he was a king King Henry

the first of Haiti I think I remember

reading about him

wasn't he the slave who Lenin the

rebellion against France and then later

became King yes Gustav well that's

incredible

oh well tell us about it Thomas know

when the Lord Impaler possessed the

slave no spirit Wendell what Ambala

possessed the slave Henri Christophe

these beads were assigned to remind him

of all that he owed Ambala when he

became a king I was seen to meet in any

period worth anything to do better than

a string of beads you know I mean how

about a gold t-shirt do not scoff mr.

Philip the Lord on Bala is a very

powerful spirit come on man you don't

really believe that why not four million

other people do believe in voodoo that

is who are you Andrew Cunningham you're

the doctor

I'm a doctor a man well somebody must

have got their wires crossed you know

because uh you ain't the right color red

color for what well I mean we're

supposed to be related and you don't

look related to me Oh you don't look

related to me so I guess we'll just have

to take Pauline's word for won't we

nah man Pauline is dead you know we

ain't got to take Pauly's worth nothing

you see I'm I'm Larina Christophe and

this is Harriet Johnson Mary hmm and

this is Philippe women

looked like somebody didn't check out

all the blood I'd say she checked out

everything did you know I know I didn't

I wish I would have oh what kind of

doctor are you doctor of anthropology

all you teach yes I do the University of

Maine look I'm sorry I'm late but I

drove down an ADD trouble finding the

house

are you hungry Andrew starve is a better

word for good so will we come on Harriet

I hope mr. du never comes back somebody

around you is a mighty fine cook that

food was just like manna from heaven are

you Carrie cook main housekeeper you

name it I do it a man you don't want to

know about I had that feeling well there

really isn't much to tell but go ahead

and ask what tell me this man who's a

honky in the woodpile I don't know if

only I was literally left on a doorstep

raised in an orphanage I mean that's why

I'm here for information not inheritance

that's just what we need to cheer things

up

Pauline really didn't say very much did

she well maybe she meant it that way

what do you mean

well if Pauline was really descended

from Henri Christophe she probably

believed in voodoo Pauline was Catholic

one doesn't exclude the other in Haiti

for example the Virgin Mary is just

another aspect or manifestation of the

goddess Ursula which is a voodoo goddess

you know so much about that when I was

in college I did some research in voodoo

I was fascinated by I don't know why

maybe the answer is somewhere in this

house

Janeiro's are again you'd better keep

some of these thank you jumps well this

might be a good time to go to bed

and I gotta find a room up there yet

y'all gonna leave me here by myself

we are you're staying here it doesn't

look like I'll be needing these candles

hidden you should really come upstairs

and go to bed you've had quite a bit to

drink tonight haven't you what else I

hear you had that much

[Music]

[Music]

Thomas showed us how to get down to the

basement we found the body we called you

that's about size of it look we better

start over from the beginning this time

he held him down for the funeral was

that right not really Sheriff you see

mrs. Christophe sent me a letter asking

me to come and it wasn't until I got

here that I found out she was dead

what a dead cousin here is a Philip but

what's his name anyone come down with

him no I didn't even know I had no

cousin Sharon what are you finding

doctor condemned it's like all the rest

I came at the request of Pauline

Christophe well I understand it but

there's Keene now why'd you want you he

was my great-grandmother so none of you

knew each other nobody knew she was dead

we all got here

everybody knew that generator was out so

the elevator couldn't work and nobody

know nothing

it's about size of it I was quiet that

wasn't a sound before the screen Sheriff

Philippe had been drinking much the

bottle of wine was almost empty well

it's possibility of course doc we'll do

an autopsy we can figure out how much

liquor he had in him if you folks are

gonna have to stick around for a while

Oh what do you mean a while I'm due back

in the University I reckon you're gonna

have to tell me you be delayed I'm gonna

have to get the judge from Brunswick you

want an inquest not I want you folks

going home we get this thing cleared up

you hear I'll be in touch all right

thank you sure

something I know what you mean but

there's nothing we can do except get

some rest

carry it here come on honey let's go

[Music]

you okay you didn't sleep did you

me either the sheriff upset me last

night when he said we had to stay for an

inquest why can't we just leave go home

Arina we cannot just walk away from this

that's not what I mean

I know what you mean look there is

something else here Lorena there's

something else here waiting for us in

this house you're beginning to sound

like Pauline's letter Pauline brought us

here for a reason right yes you think

that reason is just to have company

around the deathbed no she brought us

here for something else

and if we walk away from here now we're

never gonna find out what it is what

difference would it make

what's so important about it marina it's

important to me

Thoma why is the sheriff setting for the

judge it's a formality doesn't mean

anything it means trouble outsiders

coming in always mean trouble and miss

Pauline kins

they're outsiders what are you trying to

say Lou it I've seen the way you were

looking at Miss arena like she was

something special

expect so much perception from one of

your background education is indeed a

wonderful thing isn't it

I find yours even more remarkable Thomas

yes Pauline instructed me well and yet

you destroy her family the blood is

thinner now with marina will be spared

spirit of life for generations the

pigeons have lived in Tasha obscurity

our powers weaken held in check by the

crystals but now to Nora now the powers

of the crystal will be back a marriage

of convenience

you might say what about me Thomas I

don't think you'll find me as acceptable

as a less ignorant discussion but you

dr. Callaghan you have the capacity for

knowledge while Pauline Christophe was

alive you will protect it but now your

death will please move much awake Norina
