00:14:58,754 --> 00:15:00,130
Have you no soul, Henry?

178
00:15:00,297 --> 00:15:03,425
Does the artistic enrichment
of your readers mean nothing to you?

179
00:15:03,592 --> 00:15:05,427
Artistic enrichment?

180
00:15:05,594 --> 00:15:09,056
You've got some gall, barging
into my office and lecturing me

181
00:15:09,223 --> 00:15:11,517
when all you do
is criticise others' work!

182
00:15:11,684 --> 00:15:13,269
Not true. Not true at all.

183
00:15:13,435 --> 00:15:17,982
You called Emerson a "sad,
festering literary whore".

184
00:15:18,148 --> 00:15:19,733
Because he is precisely that.

185
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:23,195
Is honesty now a vice, or do you
prefer that jaded hack, Griswold,

186
00:15:23,362 --> 00:15:26,824
fawning over some steaming
mound of hackneyed tripe?

187
00:15:26,991 --> 00:15:30,327
- Doesn't think much of YOUR stuff.
- He's an intellectual nonentity.

188
00:15:30,494 --> 00:15:33,872
He's a buffoon, which is probably
why he's so at home here with you.

189
00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:35,416
Aw, you're out of control.

190
00:15:38,335 --> 00:15:39,795
I'm broke.

191
00:15:39,962 --> 00:15:42,339
Then try writing
another "Tell-Tale Heart".

192
00:15:42,506 --> 00:15:44,883
People love blood.
They love death.

193
00:15:45,050 --> 00:15:48,470
If I couldn't churn out a "Tell-Tale
Heart" or a "Pit and the Pendulum",

194
00:15:48,637 --> 00:15:50,889
I'd indenture my very
soul to the devil.

195
00:15:51,056 --> 00:15:53,726
You've got to publish
my review. I'm desperate.

196
00:15:53,892 --> 00:15:56,770
I need stories.
Gripping stories.

197
00:15:58,939 --> 00:16:00,733
I've got nothing left.

198
00:16:04,153 --> 00:16:05,988
I've used up all my tricks.

199
00:16:06,155 --> 00:16:09,700
Try laying off the liquor
and tinctures. It's rotting your brain.

200
00:16:09,867 --> 00:16:11,744
I only drink occasionally,

201
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:14,830
to be social,
to alleviate my shyness.

202
00:16:15,706 --> 00:16:18,167
And the tinctures
are purely therapeutic.

203
00:16:18,334 --> 00:16:21,754
A slight palliative against the chill
of an orphan's despair.

204
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:28,010
- Write me something I can sell.
- You're a real bastard, Henry.

205
00:16:31,221 --> 00:16:35,976
Why are you doing this?! Why?!

206
00:16:36,143 --> 00:16:38,270
What have I done?!

207
00:16:39,313 --> 00:16:41,065
Please!

208
00:16:41,231 --> 00:16:43,150
No!

209
00:17:04,505 --> 00:17:06,006
Aargh!

210
00:17:11,303 --> 00:17:13,680
Agh! Argh!

211
00:17:16,725 --> 00:17:18,685
Aaaargh!

212
00:17:28,237 --> 00:17:29,696
AAARGHH!

213
00:17:41,875 --> 00:17:44,837
Consider, Carl, if you
will, the human heart.

214
00:17:45,003 --> 00:17:46,380
This small chamber,

215
00:17:46,547 --> 00:17:48,715
a vacancy, where gases
are wed to fluids

216
00:17:48,882 --> 00:17:51,802
and all the secrets and mysteries
of our species are hidden.

217
00:17:56,181 --> 00:17:58,058
(SIGHS)

218
00:18:01,353 --> 00:18:03,439
Write another "Tell-Tale Heart".

219
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,445
(KNOCK AT DOOR)

220
00:18:12,197 --> 00:18:14,074
(KNOCKING)

221
00:18:22,791 --> 00:18:24,918
You think you're so
clever, don't you?

222
00:18:25,085 --> 00:18:26,628
Miss Hamilton.

223
00:18:34,803 --> 00:18:36,889
"The angels,"

224
00:18:38,891 --> 00:18:40,476
"not half so happy in heaven."

225
00:18:40,642 --> 00:18:43,187
"Went envying her and me -."

226
00:18:43,353 --> 00:18:46,690
"Yes - that was the reason,"

227
00:18:46,857 --> 00:18:50,152
"as all men know, In this
kingdom by the sea."

228
00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:54,448
"That the wind came
out of the clouds by night."

229
00:18:54,615 --> 00:18:57,743
"Chilling and killing
my Annabel Lee."

230
00:18:57,910 --> 00:18:59,286
Continue.

231
00:19:00,913 --> 00:19:05,876
"But our love... it was stronger
by far than the love."

232
00:19:06,043 --> 00:19:08,795
"Of those who were
older than we -."

233
00:19:08,962 --> 00:19:13,133
"Of many far wiser than we -."

234
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:17,596
"And neither the angels
in heaven above."

235
00:19:17,763 --> 00:19:23,018
"Nor the demons
down under the sea."

236
00:19:23,185 --> 00:19:27,231
"Can ever dissever
my soul from the soul."

237
00:19:27,397 --> 00:19:32,444
"Of the beautiful Annabel Lee."

238
00:19:34,821 --> 00:19:36,782
Do you like it?

239
00:19:36,949 --> 00:19:40,661
I think that it is the most romantic
thing I've ever read.

240
00:19:49,419 --> 00:19:54,633
So, I had to hear
about your stunt all afternoon.

241
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,303
I wanted to see if I could get
that vein on the side of his neck

242
00:19:58,470 --> 00:20:00,764
- to finally explode.
- (GIGGLES)

243
00:20:00,931 --> 00:20:03,976
I think Father has
begun to suspect.

244
00:20:05,185 --> 00:20:07,020
Yes, and I consider it my duty

245
00:20:07,187 --> 00:20:10,023
to wrestle you away
from that gun-toting Philistine.

246
00:20:10,190 --> 00:20:12,359
And into the arms
of you, of all people?

247
00:20:12,526 --> 00:20:14,861
- Who better?
- Then why antagonise him?

248
00:20:15,028 --> 00:20:17,698
I can't help it. I despise
people who despise me.

249
00:20:17,864 --> 00:20:20,325
Edgar, we need to talk.

250
00:20:20,492 --> 00:20:22,786
- What is Carl eating?
- A heart.

251
00:20:23,537 --> 00:20:25,330
- A human heart?
- Mm-hm.

252
00:20:25,497 --> 00:20:29,126
- How in heaven did you come by it?
- An admirer works at the morgue.

253
00:20:29,293 --> 00:20:30,919
I was searching for inspiration.

254
00:20:31,086 --> 00:20:34,006
So tell me again exactly...

255
00:20:34,172 --> 00:20:39,303
how much... money you made

256
00:20:39,469 --> 00:20:42,931
from your self-proclaimed
world-famous poem about that bird?

257
00:20:43,098 --> 00:20:45,934
Raven. $9. But did I mention
that it's world-famous?

258
00:20:46,101 --> 00:20:48,312
Edgar... Edgar.

259
00:20:48,478 --> 00:20:50,355
We can't go on like this.

260
00:20:50,522 --> 00:20:54,610
Emily, what do you want?

261
00:20:54,776 --> 00:20:56,570
I want you to get
up off your knees

262
00:20:56,737 --> 00:20:59,656
unless you intend to use
that position for another purpose.

263
00:20:59,823 --> 00:21:02,868
The imagination reels
with possibilities.

264
00:21:03,035 --> 00:21:05,412
But what did you have
in mind specifically?

265
00:21:05,579 --> 00:21:07,456
A proposal.

266
00:21:08,498 --> 00:21:10,417
- You mean marriage?
- (SIGHS)

267
00:21:10,584 --> 00:21:14,921
It's not such a horrible thought.
People still do it from time to time.

268
00:21:15,088 --> 00:21:18,884
- Really? When?
- When they're in love, I suppose.

269
00:21:19,051 --> 00:21:25,140
If I were in love with that person,
would I think about her all the time?

270
00:21:25,307 --> 00:21:26,767
Most likely.

271
00:21:26,933 --> 00:21:30,979
And would I spend
every waking moment

272
00:21:31,146 --> 00:21:33,398
desiring to smother
the other with affection?

273
00:21:33,565 --> 00:21:35,317
It has been described as such.

274
00:21:35,484 --> 00:21:39,946
Emily, you are my greatest-
and only - inspiration.

275
00:21:40,113 --> 00:21:42,157
Emily Hamilton,

276
00:21:42,324 --> 00:21:44,284
will you be my wife?

277
00:21:44,451 --> 00:21:45,994
Yes.

278
00:21:47,204 --> 00:21:48,789
I love you.

279
00:21:54,503 --> 00:21:56,088
You ridiculous man.

280
00:21:56,254 --> 00:22:00,425
Now, what do we do about your dear,
dear, gun-toting father?

281
00:22:00,592 --> 00:22:02,636
I've been thinking about that.

282
00:22:04,429 --> 00:22:06,973
We'll tell him
at my birthday ball,

283
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:09,518
in front of all of Baltimore.

284
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,063
If I were a better
man, I'd forbid it.

285
00:22:13,230 --> 00:22:16,358
- (CHUCKLES) But you're not.
- I know.

286
00:22:19,611 --> 00:22:22,698
I found some possibilities
for you, Inspector.

287
00:22:22,864 --> 00:22:25,117
All are gruesome, if you ask me.

288
00:22:29,204 --> 00:22:32,416
"A careful search soon brought
to light the hidden spring."

289
00:22:32,582 --> 00:22:35,085
"I pressed it, and, satisfied
with the discovery,"

290
00:22:35,252 --> 00:22:37,129
"forbore to upraise the sash."

291
00:22:38,588 --> 00:22:40,674
That's it.

292
00:22:42,008 --> 00:22:43,844
Edgar Allan Poe.

293
00:22:44,010 --> 00:22:48,515
And the Raven, never flitting, still
is sitting, still is sitting.

294
00:22:48,682 --> 00:22:52,436
On that pallid bust of Pallas
just above my chamber door;

295
00:22:52,602 --> 00:22:57,607
And his eyes have all the seeming
of a demon's that is dreaming,

296
00:22:57,774 --> 00:23:03,113
And the lamp-light o'er him steaming
throws his shadow on the floor;

297
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,160
My soul from out that shadow
that lies floating on the floor.

298
00:23:08,326 --> 00:23:11,747
Shall be lifted...

299
00:23:11,913 --> 00:23:14,166
nevermore...

300
00:23:19,045 --> 00:23:20,422
Who's next?

301
00:23:22,758 --> 00:23:24,426
(CLEARS THROAT)

302
00:23:24,593 --> 00:23:28,305
It's called "The
Butterfly and the Bee".

303
00:23:28,472 --> 00:23:30,265
An exquisite title,
Mrs. Bradley.

304
00:23:31,975 --> 00:23:37,731
"The butterfly to her brother
bee did sing a song of spring."

305
00:23:37,898 --> 00:23:43,445
"Come, listen to my ode of thee,
thou honey-making thing..."

306
00:23:43,612 --> 00:23:45,197
Stop, please.

307
00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:49,868
It's terrible.
I suspected it was.

308
00:23:50,035 --> 00:23:51,870
"Thou honey-making thing"?

309
00:23:52,037 --> 00:23:56,082
- I attempted to rhyme the lyric.
- You've succeeded.

310
00:23:56,249 --> 00:23:59,544
The juxtaposition
of the beauty of nature

311
00:23:59,711 --> 00:24:03,340
with the whores of our recently
mechanised society,

312
00:24:03,507 --> 00:24:08,720
reducing brother bee to nothing
more than a "honey-making thing",

313
00:24:08,887 --> 00:24:11,932
a meaningless cog
bound for destruction

314
00:24:12,098 --> 00:24:14,184
within the machine of nature.

315
00:24:14,351 --> 00:24:17,771
It's brilliant, Mrs. Bradley!
It's terrifying, but it's brilliant.

316
00:24:17,938 --> 00:24:20,232
I'm so sorry to interrupt.

317
00:24:20,398 --> 00:24:23,735
- Someone's here to see you.
- Excellent. Who?

318
00:24:25,737 --> 00:24:27,280
Mr. Poe?

319
00:24:28,448 --> 00:24:31,827
(MUTTERS) Barbarian
with a badge.

320
00:24:35,497 --> 00:24:37,040
What's going on?

321
00:24:38,542 --> 00:24:42,337
- Why is hair attracted to a magnet?
- What?

322
00:24:42,504 --> 00:24:46,675
Soot is merely carbon
residue from coal and wood.

323
00:24:46,842 --> 00:24:48,718
Am I under arrest?

324
00:24:48,885 --> 00:24:51,179
I'm Detective Fields.
Please, sit down, Mr. Poe.

325
00:24:51,346 --> 00:24:54,766
Yes, the infamous Detective
Fields. Am I under arrest?

326
00:24:56,017 --> 00:24:57,853
No. Not as yet.

327
00:24:58,019 --> 00:25:00,772
Then I'd rather stand. It
makes it easier to leave.

328
00:25:00,939 --> 00:25:02,691
I am...

329
00:25:02,858 --> 00:25:05,068
I'm a reader of your work.

330
00:25:05,235 --> 00:25:08,071
I admit my admirers have gone
to great lengths to meet me.

331
00:25:08,238 --> 00:25:10,240
I didn't say I was an admirer.

332
00:25:10,407 --> 00:25:12,033
And yet you read them.

333
00:25:15,745 --> 00:25:18,707
The night before last a girl and her
mother were found murdered,

334
00:25:18,874 --> 00:25:20,542
the daughter lodged
in a chimney,

335
00:25:20,709 --> 00:25:23,587
the mother's head nearly
severed with a straight razor.

336
00:25:23,753 --> 00:25:25,463
The killer fled through a window

337
00:25:25,630 --> 00:25:28,884
in which a lock was feigned
with a nail sawn in half.

338
00:25:29,926 --> 00:25:33,889
Does any of this sound
familiar to you, Mr. Poe?

339
00:25:34,890 --> 00:25:37,309
But you're talking
about my story.

340
00:25:37,475 --> 00:25:39,394
A work of fiction.

341
00:25:41,563 --> 00:25:43,481
I'm afraid I'm not.

342
00:25:49,905 --> 00:25:53,617
According to various witnesses, you
were seen drunk two nights ago

343
00:25:53,783 --> 00:25:55,577
in a tavern near the harbour.

344
00:25:56,912 --> 00:25:59,289
What time did you leave?

345
00:26:01,791 --> 00:26:03,835
I don't remember.

346
00:26:04,002 --> 00:26:08,423

be conceivable,

Yet what cannot be disputed

355
00:26:39,037 --> 00:26:43,500
is the fact that your imagination
has inspired a horrendous crime.

He was brought
in to identify the body.

His name is... l mean,
was... Gris... Griswold.

- Ludwig Griswold.
- He worked for you?

- Freelance writer.
- What things did he write?

367
00:27:24,499 --> 00:27:27,502
Some poetry. Mostly criticism.
You know, the easy stuff.

368
00:27:27,669 --> 00:27:30,922
Did he have a relationship
with Edgar Allan Poe?

369
00:27:31,089 --> 00:27:34,676
Of course. They hated each other.
Had a vicious feud a year ago.

- How long have you known Mr. Poe?
- Edgar? Well, the past ten years.

372
00:27:41,057 --> 00:27:43,977
You published his story, "The
Murders in the Rue Morgue".

373
00:27:44,144 --> 00:27:46,896
He wrote that several years
back in Philadelphia.

It's stage blood. She's an actress.

The victim was still
in her costume,

702
00:52:16,865 --> 00:52:20,076
which suggests she was abducted
directly from the theatre.

- No.

Yes. Possibly. Who knows?

863

myself is... why Baltimore?

864
01:05:24,610 --> 01:05:27,363
The Fortunato had docked
in ports around the world.

865

- The what?
- All over the world.

- Fortunato.

"The thousand injuries of Fortunato
I had borne as I best could."

What is that?

869
01:05:39,875 --> 01:05:42,628
The first sentence of "The
Cask of Amontillado".

870
01:05:42,795 --> 01:05:45,506
- Go on.
- A story I wrote about revenge.

01:05:45,673 --> 01:05:49,677
A man kills his rival by walling him
up. Fortunato is entombed alive.

872
01:05:49,844 --> 01:05:52,138
- Where?
- In the catacombs of a palazzo.

873
01:05:52,305 --> 01:05:55,516
- The story is set in Italy.
- There are no catacombs here.

874
01:05:55,683 --> 01:05:59,353
No, but there are tunnels
underneath the city.

875
01:06:00,229 --> 01:06:01,605
Tunnels?

876
01:06:01,772 --> 01:06:03,399

- Too deliberate.
- It's a latitudinal co-ordinate.

Forgive me. I have no background

963
01:13:15,956 --> 01:13:18,417
To plot an exact position,
you need three things:

964
01:13:18,584 --> 01:13:22,171
A sextant, an accurate chronometer
and a celestial almanac.

965
01:13:24,965 --> 01:13:28,385
The almanac tells the exact time
at which the sun hits its zenith.

966
01:13:28,552 --> 01:13:30,137
- Exact noon.
- Shall I bring more?

- It's been rained on.

- But the newspaper is bone dry.

I'm not sure what...

1100
01:26:02,388 --> 01:26:06,226
The paper was delivered later,
after it stopped raining.

1101
01:26:06,392 --> 01:26:10,355
This note was written in response
to what I wrote in this newspaper.

He delivered the note
before the paper.

1103
01:26:14,609 --> 01:26:16,986
So he knew the story in advance.

1104

01:28:37,543 --> 01:28:39,379

1124

Artist to artist.

1127
01:28:44,926 --> 01:28:48,429
Though I admit, as I read
your final chapter,

1128
01:28:48,596 --> 01:28:50,973
I felt more muse than artist.

1129
01:28:55,645 --> 01:28:57,188
You're mad.

1130
01:29:00,149 --> 01:29:02,985
Really, Mr. Poe?

1131
01:29:03,152 --> 01:29:05,363
You're one to talk.

1132
01:29:06,489 --> 01:29:10,952
Where is Emily?

1133
01:29:11,119 --> 01:29:13,746
Just like that?

1134
01:29:13,913 --> 01:29:18,710
No probing the devious twists
and turns of man's darkest motives?

1135
01:29:18,876 --> 01:29:21,713
No prying into the mysteries
of his conscience?

1136
01:29:21,879 --> 01:29:23,506
So very unlike you, Mr. Poe.

1137
01:29:24,048 --> 01:29:26,175
Where is she?!

1138
01:29:26,342 --> 01:29:28,219
Ow!

1139
01:29:29,512 --> 01:29:33,850
A rather disappointing
denouement, I have to say.

1140
01:29:34,016 --> 01:29:36,602
But that's life, isn't it?

1141
01:29:36,769 --> 01:29:39,480
So much less satisfying
than fiction.

1142
01:29:39,647 --> 01:29:42,024

comes to an end.

1143
01:29:43,025 --> 01:29:45,111

1144
01:29:45,278 --> 01:29:47,572

1145
01:29:49,198 --> 01:29:52,660
You've come this far, Mr. Poe. Are
you really gonna back out now?

1146
01:29:54,162 --> 01:29:58,332
You know what happens next.
You wrote it, after all.

1147
01:29:58,499 --> 01:30:02,128
You either pull that trigger
and kill me and young Miss Emily

1148
01:30:02,295 --> 01:30:04,547
or you give me the gun.

1149
01:30:05,548 --> 01:30:07,133
She will live.

1150
01:30:07,300 --> 01:30:10,386
That was your solution, right?

1151
01:30:22,398 --> 01:30:24,901
I have to admit,
I don't cry easily,

1152
01:30:25,067 --> 01:30:29,322
but you had me
bawling like a baby.

1153
01:30:29,489 --> 01:30:31,657
And I've always had
a fancy for poisons.

1154
01:30:31,824 --> 01:30:33,451
That's how I done my dad.

1155
01:30:33,618 --> 01:30:36,329
The idea of drinking
something that will kill you

1156
01:30:36,496 --> 01:30:38,790
but having time to carry
on a conversation

1157
01:30:38,956 --> 01:30:43,336
is, as they say, fraught
with dramatic possibilities, right?

1158
01:30:43,503 --> 01:30:46,464
Listen to me, talking
about dramatic possibilities

1159
01:30:46,631 --> 01:30:49,675
with one of the greatest
writers of our time.

1160
01:30:49,842 --> 01:30:54,555
I must say, it has been a profound
honour working with you, sir.

1161
01:30:55,139 --> 01:30:57,266
Working with me'?

1162
01:30:57,433 --> 01:31:00,436
I know they're your ideas.
I'm just borrowing.

1163
01:31:00,603 --> 01:31:03,272
Except for Valdemar's tongue.
That was me.

1164
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:06,442
- Quite a subtle metaphor, I thought.
- Subtle?

1165
01:31:06,609 --> 01:31:08,486
It made no sense at all.

1166
01:31:08,653 --> 01:31:12,114
Even in the end, I'm
confronted by a plagiarist

1167
01:31:12,281 --> 01:31:15,743
without even the originality
to invent themselves.

1168
01:31:15,910 --> 01:31:17,495

1169
01:31:17,662 --> 01:31:20,873

In whose world do we each exist
right now, Edgar?

Mine, or yours?

1174
01:31:34,303 --> 01:31:36,597
I don't really know the answer.

1175
01:31:37,598 --> 01:31:40,059
It's quite brilliant.

1176
01:31:41,060 --> 01:31:43,563
Well... go on, sir.

1177
01:31:48,568 --> 01:31:50,194
Bottoms up.

- I need a carriage.

01:32:00,496 --> 01:32:02,915
And send a messenger
to Charles Hamilton's house.

- I tell you, Mr. Poe,

1191
01:32:51,505 --> 01:32:55,051
I used to live for your stories,
just live for them.

1192
01:32:55,217 --> 01:32:57,637
When you stopped writing...

1193
01:32:59,388 --> 01:33:01,557
I guess I went a little nuts.

1194
01:33:01,724 --> 01:33:04,894
But I kept on believing,
even when you closed me out.

1195
01:33:05,061 --> 01:33:06,812
I still believed in your vision,

1196
01:33:06,979 --> 01:33:09,398
in a future where people
would stand in lines

1197
01:33:09,565 --> 01:33:14,362
to see the kind of things that only people
like you and I could see.

1198
01:33:14,528 --> 01:33:17,365
I knew you had
one more in you, sir.

1199
01:33:20,326 --> 01:33:22,703
No one will ever forget you.

1200

01:33:30,419 --> 01:33:33,506
There's a young writer
over there - Jules Verne.

1202
01:33:33,673 --> 01:33:35,758
- You heard of him?
- What?

1203
01:33:35,925 --> 01:33:37,426
Paris.

1204
01:33:38,427 --> 01:33:40,721
He really reminds
me of you, sir.

1205

Where is she? You owe
me! Where is she?!

1206
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:46,769
"Anything was better
than this agony."

1207
01:33:46,936 --> 01:33:50,272
"Anything was more tolerable
than this derision."

1208
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:54,235
"I could bear those
hypocritical smiles no longer."

1210
01:33:56,821 --> 01:33:59,699

1213
01:34:05,955 --> 01:34:08,165
Goodbye, Mr. Poe.

1214
01:34:10,292 --> 01:34:12,878
I've enjoyed our time together.

1215
01:34:14,755 --> 01:34:16,215

1216
01:34:24,974 --> 01:34:26,350

Emily?

1220
01:35:30,539 --> 01:35:32,625
Answer me.

1221
01:35:34,502 --> 01:35:37,630
Emily! Please, answer me!

1222

Open your eyes.

1229
01:37:43,756 --> 01:37:46,091
Emily, open your eyes.

1230
01:37:47,593 --> 01:37:49,553

1231
01:37:54,308 --> 01:37:56,393
Oh, yeah.

1232

1234

I'm here.

1236
01:38:10,115 --> 01:38:12,493
I came for you.

1237
01:38:14,536 --> 01:38:16,872
Okay.

1238
01:38:23,295 --> 01:38:25,339

1240

We're going home.

1241
01:38:31,345 --> 01:38:34,682
- You did mean it?
- Mean what?

1242
01:38:34,848 --> 01:38:37,226
When you said you
would marry me.

1243
01:38:37,393 --> 01:38:39,520
In this life and the next.

1244

with you? Make way!

- He was here a moment ago.

Sir?

1253
01:39:29,987 --> 01:39:31,989
You are Edgar Poe, correct?

1254

<i>I am.</i>

1255
01:39:37,119 --> 01:39:38,912
For a few more minutes, anyway.

1256
01:39:39,079 --> 01:39:42,291
Are you all right? You look
a little the worse for wear.

1257
01:39:42,458 --> 01:39:44,501
Is there someone
I can call for you?

1258
01:39:45,919 --> 01:39:48,756
- Reynolds.
- You want me to find Reynolds?

1259
01:39:48,922 --> 01:39:50,924
Does he have a first name?

1260
01:39:51,091 --> 01:39:52,676
No.

1261
01:39:53,844 --> 01:39:58,640
Tell Fields... his last
name is Reynolds.

1262
01:39:58,807 --> 01:40:02,227
I'm sorry, sir, you're
not making much sense.

1263
01:40:07,358 --> 01:40:09,651
Tell Fields.

Mr. Fields?

1267

- I'm Dr John Morgan.
- Doctor.

1268
01:41:05,374 --> 01:41:08,544
- Do you have a cause of death?
- I'm sorry, I don't.

1269
01:41:08,710 --> 01:41:10,587
I have a few ideas but...

1270
01:41:10,754 --> 01:41:14,049
As you know, he was brought
in in a very deranged state.

1271
01:41:14,216 --> 01:41:16,176
I'm told he was ranting.

1272
01:41:16,343 --> 01:41:17,803
Yes.

1273
01:41:17,970 --> 01:41:22,558
He kept going on and on about telling
you that your last name is Reynolds.

1274
01:41:22,724 --> 01:41:25,269
Is that helpful,
or just gibberish?

1275
01:41:25,436 --> 01:41:27,271
Maybe both.

1276
01:41:29,731 --> 01:41:33,152
Well, thank you
for your help, Doctor.

1277
01:41:33,318 --> 01:41:36,029
I'd be interested in hearing
your final analysis.
