Hello, Reagan. Did you miss me?
36

I'm naturally delighted
to be back in Baltimore,
37
00:06:18,212 --> 00:06:21,215
but in all honesty
I'm feeling a bit under the weather.
38
00:06:21,382 --> 00:06:25,094
However, it has been said that
what brandy cannot cure has no cure.
39
00:06:25,261 --> 00:06:29,140
So what say you to a snifter
for an old, ailing friend?

I'm sorry. What?

Nothing.

00:06:34,145 --> 00:06:36,606
I can assume, then,
that you're out of brandy?
43
00:06:36,773 --> 00:06:41,652
- We've got many bottles back there.
- So it's a question of finances.
44
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:45,740
I don't mean to shock you, Poe,
but we haven't seen you in a while.

well, things got rather ugly.

inches from thumb to forefinger.

locked the door from the inside?

Absolutely. We heard the door lock
as we arrived.

And by the time you broke down
the door, the murderer was gone.

What has he done?

He said there was no more room
in the layout.

A real show of adjectival fireworks
from the great Poe himself.
174
00:14:38,337 --> 00:14:41,715
Not only do you refuse
to print my review of Longfellow,
175

but you run
his third-rate poem instead!

of your readers mean nothing to you?
179
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:53,727
Artistic enrichment?
180
00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:57,356
You've got some gall, barging
into my office and lecturing me
181
00:14:57,523 --> 00:14:59,817
when all you do
is criticise others' work!
182
00:14:59,984 --> 00:15:01,569
Not true. Not true at all.
183
00:15:01,735 --> 00:15:06,282
You called Emerson
a "sad, festering literary whore".
184
00:15:06,448 --> 00:15:08,033
Because he is precisely that.
185
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,495
Is honesty now a vice, or do you
prefer that jaded hack, Griswold,
186
00:15:11,662 --> 00:15:15,124
fawning over some steaming mound
of hackneyed tripe?
187
00:15:15,291 --> 00:15:18,627
- Doesn't think much of YOUR stuff.
- He's an intellectual nonentity.
188
00:15:18,794 --> 00:15:22,172
He's a buffoon, which is probably why
he's so at home here with you.
189
00:15:22,339 --> 00:15:23,716
Aw, you're out of control.
190
00:15:26,635 --> 00:15:28,095
I'm broke.
191
00:15:28,262 --> 00:15:30,639
Then try writing
another "Tell-Tale Heart".
192
00:15:30,806 --> 00:15:33,183
People love blood. They love death.
193
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:36,770
If I couldn't churn out a "Tell-Tale
Heart" or a "Pit and the Pendulum",
194
00:15:36,937 --> 00:15:39,189
I'd indenture
my very soul to the devil.
195
00:15:39,356 --> 00:15:42,026
You've got to publish my review.
I'm desperate.
196
00:15:42,192 --> 00:15:45,070
I need stories. Gripping stories.
197
00:15:47,239 --> 00:15:49,033
I've got nothing left.
198
00:15:52,453 --> 00:15:54,288
I've used up all my tricks.
199
00:15:54,455 --> 00:15:58,000
Try laying off the liquor and
tinctures. It's rotting your brain.
200
00:15:58,167 --> 00:16:00,044
I only drink occasionally,
201
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:03,130
to be social,
to alleviate my shyness.
202
00:16:04,006 --> 00:16:06,467
And the tinctures
are purely therapeutic.
203
00:16:06,634 --> 00:16:10,054
A slight palliative against the chill
of an orphan's despair.
204
00:16:12,139 --> 00:16:16,310
- Write me something I can sell.
- You're a real bastard, Henry.
205
00:16:19,521 --> 00:16:24,276
Why are you doing this?!
Why?!
206
00:16:24,443 --> 00:16:26,570
What have I done?!
207
00:16:27,613 --> 00:16:29,365
Please!
208
00:16:29,531 --> 00:16:31,450
No!
209
00:16:52,805 --> 00:16:54,306
Aargh!
210
00:16:59,603 --> 00:17:01,980
Agh! Argh!

00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:06,985
Aaaargh!
212
00:17:16,537 --> 00:17:17,996
AAARGHH!
213
00:17:30,175 --> 00:17:33,137
Consider, Carl, if you will,
the human heart.
214
00:17:33,303 --> 00:17:34,680
This small chamber,
215
00:17:34,847 --> 00:17:37,015
a vacancy,
where gases are wed to fluids
216
00:17:37,182 --> 00:17:40,102
and all the secrets and mysteries
of our species are hidden.

218
00:17:49,653 --> 00:17:51,739
Write another "Tell-Tale Heart".

You think you're so clever,

I think that it is the most romantic

So, I had to hear about your stunt
all afternoon.
241
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:46,603
I wanted to see if I could get that
vein on the side of his neck

- to finally explode.

I think Father has begun to suspect.

00:19:53,485 --> 00:19:55,320
Yes, and I consider it my duty
245
00:19:55,487 --> 00:19:58,323
to wrestle you away
from that gun-toting Philistine.
246
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:00,659
And into the arms of you,
of all people?
247
00:20:00,826 --> 00:20:03,161
- Who better?
- Then why antagonise him?
248
00:20:03,328 --> 00:20:05,998
I can't help it.
I despise people who despise me.
249
00:20:06,164 --> 00:20:08,625
Edgar, we need to talk.
250
00:20:08,792 --> 00:20:11,086
- What is Carl eating?
- A heart.
251
00:20:11,837 --> 00:20:13,630
- A human heart?
- Mm-hm.
252
00:20:13,797 --> 00:20:17,426
- How in heaven did you come by it?
- An admirer works at the morgue.
253
00:20:17,593 --> 00:20:19,219
I was searching for inspiration.
254
00:20:19,386 --> 00:20:22,306
So tell me again exactly...
255
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:27,603
how much...money you made
256
00:20:27,769 --> 00:20:31,231
from your self-proclaimed
world-famous poem about that bird?
257
00:20:31,398 --> 00:20:34,234

that it's world-famous?
258
00:20:34,401 --> 00:20:36,612
Edgar... Edgar.
259
00:20:36,778 --> 00:20:38,655
We can't go on like this.

00:20:38,822 --> 00:20:42,910
Emily, what do you want?
261
00:20:43,076 --> 00:20:44,870
I want you to get up off your knees

unless you intend to use
that position for another purpose.
263
00:20:48,123 --> 00:20:51,168
The imagination reels
with possibilities.
264
00:20:51,335 --> 00:20:53,712
But what did you have in mind
specifically?
265
00:20:53,879 --> 00:20:55,756
A proposal.
266
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:58,717
- You mean marriage?
- (SIGHS)
267
00:20:58,884 --> 00:21:03,221
It's not such a horrible thought.
People still do it from time to time.
268
00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:07,184
- Really? When?
- When they're in love, I suppose.
269
00:21:07,351 --> 00:21:13,440
If I were in love with that person,
would I think about her all the time?
270
00:21:13,607 --> 00:21:15,067
Most likely.
271
00:21:15,233 --> 00:21:19,279
And would I spend
every waking moment
272
00:21:19,446 --> 00:21:21,698
desiring to smother the other
with affection?
273
00:21:21,865 --> 00:21:23,617
It has been described as such.
274
00:21:23,784 --> 00:21:28,246
Emily, you are my greatest-
and only - inspiration.

00:21:28,413 --> 00:21:30,457

276
00:21:30,624 --> 00:21:32,584
will you be my wife?
277
00:21:32,751 --> 00:21:34,294
Yes.
278
00:21:35,504 --> 00:21:37,089
I love you.
279
00:21:42,803 --> 00:21:44,388

280
00:21:44,554 --> 00:21:48,725
Now, what do we do about
your dear, dear, gun-toting father?
281
00:21:48,892 --> 00:21:50,936
I've been thinking about that.

I'd forbid it.

- (CHUCKLES) But you're not.
- I know.

for you, Inspector.

00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:13,417

of a demon's that is dreaming,

Yes, the infamous Detective Fields.
Am I under arrest?

No. Not as yet.
327
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:49,072
Then I'd rather stand.
It makes it easier to leave.

And yet you read them.

The night before last a girl
and her mother were found murdered,

the daughter lodged in a chimney,

00:25:09,009 --> 00:25:11,887
the mother's head nearly severed
with a straight razor.
336
00:25:12,053 --> 00:25:13,763
The killer fled through a window
337
00:25:13,930 --> 00:25:17,184
in which a lock was feigned
with a nail sawn in half.
338
00:25:18,226 --> 00:25:22,189
Does any of this
sound familiar to you, Mr Poe?
339
00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:25,609
But you're talking about my story.
340
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:27,694
A work of fiction.
341
00:25:29,863 --> 00:25:31,781
I'm afraid I'm not.
342
00:25:38,205 --> 00:25:41,917
According to various witnesses,
you were seen drunk two nights ago
343
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:43,877
in a tavern near the harbour.
344
00:25:45,212 --> 00:25:47,589
What time did you leave?
345
00:25:50,091 --> 00:25:52,135
I don't remember.
346
00:25:52,302 --> 00:25:56,723
My leaving was...involuntary.
347
00:25:58,391 --> 00:26:01,519
Do you actually think
that I murdered these people?
348
00:26:02,938 --> 00:26:04,648
May I see your hand?
349
00:26:05,649 --> 00:26:07,192
Which one?
350

- Ludwig Griswold.
- He worked for you?

- Freelance writer.
- What things did he write?

Some poetry. Mostly criticism.
You know, the easy stuff.
368
00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:19,222
Did he have a relationship
with Edgar Allan Poe?
369
00:27:19,389 --> 00:27:22,976
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.

You published his story,
"The Murders in the Rue Morgue".
373

He wrote that several years back
in Philadelphia.

00:51:36,553 --> 00:51:39,347
- The blood, Poe, it's fake!
- The blood?
695
00:51:39,514 --> 00:51:43,602
The prostitute. She's no prostitute.
It's stage blood. She's an actress.
696
00:51:43,769 --> 00:51:46,271
- The blood on the hands. "Macbeth."
- Exactly.
697
00:51:49,566 --> 00:51:53,111
Poe's like the hangman, the bastard,
making money off the dead.
698
00:51:53,278 --> 00:51:56,948
Get your paper!
About a serial killer on the loose!
699
00:51:57,115 --> 00:52:00,035
(FIELDS) Cantrell is at the theatre.
All the exits are secured.
700
00:52:00,202 --> 00:52:02,954
The Imperial, I'm assuming.
My mother's playhouse.
701
00:52:03,121 --> 00:52:04,998
The victim was still in her costume,
702
00:52:05,165 --> 00:52:08,376
which suggests she was abducted
directly from the theatre.
703
00:52:14,132 --> 00:52:15,675
We'll find her.
704
00:52:17,177 --> 00:52:20,806
I would gladly give my life for hers,
Mr Fields.
705
00:52:22,808 --> 00:52:25,018
I know you would.
706
00:52:39,115 --> 00:52:41,409

to search these premises.
712
00:52:59,177 --> 00:53:00,637
What for? There's a show on!
713
00:53:00,804 --> 00:53:03,682
- Bring all stagehands now.
- They have to man the ropes.
714
00:53:03,849 --> 00:53:07,018

and now you bastards...

You, step forth.
Take off the gloves.
721
00:53:32,085 --> 00:53:34,921
- Is this your entire crew?
- Yes.
722
00:53:35,088 --> 00:53:36,882
- Are you sure?
- I am.
723
00:53:37,048 --> 00:53:39,843
- Count them again.

- So if you don't mind, please...
- Read it.

It's "Macbeth". I know the play.
730
00:53:57,736 --> 00:53:59,905
- Someone's missing.
- Who?
731
00:54:00,071 --> 00:54:01,531
- Maurice.
- Where is he?
732
00:54:01,698 --> 00:54:05,118
I don't know, but nobody's allowed
to leave until the show is over.
733
00:54:05,285 --> 00:54:06,953
He's here.
734
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,414
If any of them try to leave,
shoot them.
735
00:54:09,581 --> 00:54:11,249

- What happened?
- My pistol, I lost it.

- I saw him.
- Damn it.
753
00:56:12,704 --> 00:56:14,789
- Seal the doors! He's here!
- Yes, sir!
754

The missing stagehand,
what was his name?
755
00:56:17,208 --> 00:56:18,585
Maurice.

00:56:18,752 --> 00:56:20,670
Hey! Where do the crew
keep their things?
757
00:56:20,837 --> 00:56:22,297
We have lockers downstairs.
758
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:36,186
Here. Poe!
759
00:56:38,813 --> 00:56:40,774
Fields, up here.
760
00:56:56,539 --> 00:56:58,333
What is that?
761
00:56:58,500 --> 00:57:00,585
Looks like a piece of fish.
762
00:57:01,711 --> 00:57:03,379
That is a human tongue.
763
00:57:05,590 --> 00:57:07,467
What does it mean?
764
00:57:09,302 --> 00:57:13,056
Wait. Yes. "The Facts
in the Case of M Valdemar."
765
00:57:13,223 --> 00:57:15,892
A man's suspended
between life and death by mesmerism.
766
00:57:16,059 --> 00:57:19,729
A living corpse who can only speak
via the vibrations of his tongue.
767
00:57:19,896 --> 00:57:21,272
It's a bit of burlesque.
768
00:57:21,439 --> 00:57:22,816
But the tongue wasn't severed.
769
00:57:22,982 --> 00:57:26,444
Mr Poe! Sir,
there's been an accident.
770

Put your backs into it!
771
00:57:31,241 --> 00:57:33,701
Come on! Keep it going!
We're gonna need more!

to put itself out! Come on!

Jack, get all those people
back from the building!
774
00:57:39,541 --> 00:57:42,961
Please, step back! Move back!
It's not safe. Get back, sir.

I don't think it was an accident.

Cantrell and I made some inquiries
at the docks.
829
01:02:58,151 --> 01:03:01,612
He was signed on to a trading vessel
which made port five days ago.

The start of the murders.
831
01:03:03,364 --> 01:03:06,075
And, like many sailors,
he took employment in the theatre,
832
01:03:06,242 --> 01:03:08,327
working the backstage riggings.
833
01:03:08,494 --> 01:03:10,955
But, as we know,
he wasn't there today.

was prearranged.

anything about a sailor?

No.

Did you speak with the ship captain?

- I did.
- And?
857
01:04:49,136 --> 01:04:52,765
Robichaux was a valued crewman.
Well liked.
858
01:04:52,932 --> 01:04:54,767

- In France.

861
01:05:00,314 --> 01:05:02,191
- Anything?
- No.

Yes. Possibly. Who knows?

is...why Baltimore?

The Fortunato had docked
in ports around the world.

- The what?
- All over the world.
866
01:05:17,832 --> 01:05:20,710
- The name of the ship, say it again.
- Fortunato.

- In the catacombs of a palazzo.

- The story is set in Italy.
- There are no catacombs here.
874

No, but there are tunnels
underneath the city.

01:05:50,072 --> 01:05:51,699

he will blow his whistle

- It's a latitudinal co-ordinate.

a sextant, an accurate chronometer
and a celestial almanac.
965
01:13:13,265 --> 01:13:16,685

- Exact noon.

- How do you know that?
- It was under the paper.

01:25:38,927 --> 01:25:41,012
Impossible.
Look at the streaks in the ink.

- It's been rained on.

- It rained last night before dawn.
- But the newspaper is bone dry.

I'm not sure what...
1100
01:25:50,688 --> 01:25:54,526
The paper was delivered later,
after it stopped raining.
1101
01:25:54,692 --> 01:25:58,655
This note was written in response
to what I wrote in this newspaper.
1102
01:25:58,822 --> 01:26:02,742
He delivered the note
before the paper.
1103
01:26:02,909 --> 01:26:05,286
So he knew the story in advance.
1104
01:26:07,956 --> 01:26:10,667
He'd already read it.

and deliver the morning edition

it had to be...

forward to this moment, sir.

01:28:25,843 --> 01:28:27,679
To sit here like this,
1124
01:28:27,845 --> 01:28:29,430
no more masks,

Artist to artist.
1127
01:28:33,226 --> 01:28:36,729
Though I admit,
as I read your final chapter,
1128
01:28:36,896 --> 01:28:39,273
I felt more muse than artist.
1129
01:28:43,945 --> 01:28:45,488
You're mad.
1130
01:28:48,449 --> 01:28:51,285
Really, Mr Poe?
1131
01:28:51,452 --> 01:28:53,663
You're one to talk.
1132
01:28:54,789 --> 01:28:59,252
Where is Emily?
1133
01:28:59,419 --> 01:29:02,046
Just like that?
1134
01:29:02,213 --> 01:29:07,010
No probing the devious twists
and turns of man's darkest motives?
1135
01:29:07,176 --> 01:29:10,013
No prying into the mysteries
of his conscience?
1136
01:29:10,179 --> 01:29:11,806
So very unlike you, Mr Poe.
1137
01:29:12,348 --> 01:29:14,475
Where is she?!
1138
01:29:14,642 --> 01:29:16,519
Ow!
1139
01:29:17,812 --> 01:29:22,150
A rather disappointing denouement,
I have to say.
1140
01:29:22,316 --> 01:29:24,902
But that's life, isn't it?
1141
01:29:25,069 --> 01:29:27,780
So much less satisfying than fiction.
1142
01:29:27,947 --> 01:29:30,324
It's time this story comes to an end.
1143
01:29:31,325 --> 01:29:33,411
Very well.
1144
01:29:33,578 --> 01:29:35,872
Give me the gun.
1145
01:29:37,498 --> 01:29:40,960
You've come this far, Mr Poe.
Are you really gonna back out now?
1146
01:29:42,462 --> 01:29:46,632
You know what happens next.
You wrote it, after all.
1147
01:29:46,799 --> 01:29:50,428
You either pull that trigger
and kill me and young Miss Emily
1148
01:29:50,595 --> 01:29:52,847
or you give me the gun.
1149
01:29:53,848 --> 01:29:55,433
She will live.
1150
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,686
That was your solution, right?
1151
01:30:10,698 --> 01:30:13,201
I have to admit, I don't cry easily,
1152
01:30:13,367 --> 01:30:17,622
but you had me bawling like a baby.
1153
01:30:17,789 --> 01:30:19,957
And I've always had a fancy
for poisons.
1154
01:30:20,124 --> 01:30:21,751
That's how I done my dad.
1155
01:30:21,918 --> 01:30:24,629
The idea of drinking something
that will kill you
1156
01:30:24,796 --> 01:30:27,090
but having time to carry on
a conversation
1157
01:30:27,256 --> 01:30:31,636
is, as they say, fraught
with dramatic possibilities, right?
1158
01:30:31,803 --> 01:30:34,764
Listen to me,
talking about dramatic possibilities
1159
01:30:34,931 --> 01:30:37,975
with one of the greatest writers
of our time.
1160
01:30:38,142 --> 01:30:42,855
I must say, it has been a profound
honour working with you, sir.
1161
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:45,566
Working with me'?
1162
01:30:45,733 --> 01:30:48,736
I know they're your ideas.
I'm just borrowing.
1163
01:30:48,903 --> 01:30:51,572
Except for Valdemar's tongue.
That was me.
1164
01:30:51,739 --> 01:30:54,742
- Quite a subtle metaphor, I thought.
- Subtle?
1165
01:30:54,909 --> 01:30:56,786
It made no sense at all.
1166
01:30:56,953 --> 01:31:00,414
Even in the end,
I'm confronted by a plagiarist
1167
01:31:00,581 --> 01:31:04,043
without even the originality
to invent themselves.
1168
01:31:04,210 --> 01:31:05,795
I've concocted you.
1169
01:31:05,962 --> 01:31:09,173
I couldn't agree more.
1170
01:31:09,340 --> 01:31:12,051

1171
01:31:12,218 --> 01:31:14,720

1172
01:31:14,887 --> 01:31:18,724
In whose world do we each exist
right now, Edgar?
1173
01:31:18,891 --> 01:31:21,185
Mine, or yours?
1174
01:31:22,603 --> 01:31:24,897
I don't really know the answer.
1175
01:31:25,898 --> 01:31:28,359
It's quite brilliant.
1176
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:31,863
Well...go on, sir.
1177
01:31:36,868 --> 01:31:38,494
Bottoms up.
1178
01:31:45,459 --> 01:31:46,919
I need a carriage now!
1179
01:31:47,086 --> 01:31:48,629
- Inspector!
- I need a carriage.
1180
01:31:48,796 --> 01:31:51,215
And send a messenger
to Charles Hamilton's house.
1181
01:31:51,382 --> 01:31:54,218
Tell him to get to
the "Baltimore Patriot". Do it!
1182
01:32:05,605 --> 01:32:10,234
(POE) So it has been written:

01:32:15,615 --> 01:32:20,286
It is a just end to a man
consumed by death his entire life.
1185
01:32:20,453 --> 01:32:23,831
Emily, take this kiss upon thy brow.
1186
01:32:23,998 --> 01:32:26,918
Really good stuff, sir.
1187
01:32:27,084 --> 01:32:28,669
A poet to the end.
1188
01:32:30,588 --> 01:32:32,882
I suppose this bit
is for Miss Hamilton.
1189
01:32:34,091 --> 01:32:35,635
Where is she?
1190
01:32:36,928 --> 01:32:39,639
- Where is she?
- I tell you, Mr Poe,
1191
01:32:39,805 --> 01:32:43,351
I used to live for your stories,
just live for them.
1192
01:32:43,517 --> 01:32:45,937
When you stopped writing...
1193
01:32:47,688 --> 01:32:49,857
I guess I went a little nuts.
1194
01:32:50,024 --> 01:32:53,194
But I kept on believing,
even when you closed me out.
1195
01:32:53,361 --> 01:32:55,112
I still believed in your vision,
1196
01:32:55,279 --> 01:32:57,698
in a future where people
would stand in lines
1197
01:32:57,865 --> 01:33:02,662
to see the kind of things that
only people like you and I could see.
1198
01:33:02,828 --> 01:33:05,665
I knew you had one more in you, sir.
1199
01:33:08,626 --> 01:33:11,003
No one will ever forget you.
1200
01:33:16,717 --> 01:33:18,552
Have you ever been to France?
1201
01:33:18,719 --> 01:33:21,806
There's a young writer over there -
Jules Verne.
1202
01:33:21,973 --> 01:33:24,058
- You heard of him?
- What?
1203
01:33:24,225 --> 01:33:25,726
Paris.
1204
01:33:26,727 --> 01:33:29,021
He really reminds me of you, sir.
1205
01:33:29,188 --> 01:33:32,233
Where is she? You owe me!
Where is she?!
1206

01:33:35,236 --> 01:33:38,572

01:33:58,592 --> 01:34:01,178
I've enjoyed our time together.
1215
01:34:03,055 --> 01:34:04,515
Reynolds...
1216
01:34:13,274 --> 01:34:14,650
Almost...
1217
01:35:04,116 --> 01:35:05,826
Emily!
1218
01:35:13,417 --> 01:35:16,253
(LABOURED BREATHING)
1219
01:35:16,420 --> 01:35:18,672
Emily?
1220
01:35:18,839 --> 01:35:20,925
Answer me.
1221
01:35:22,802 --> 01:35:25,930
Emily! Please, answer me!
1222
01:35:36,065 --> 01:35:38,025
Oh, my God.
1223
01:35:57,962 --> 01:36:00,423
(MUTTERS)
1224
01:36:04,927 --> 01:36:06,554
Emily...
1225
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:08,389
(BREATH ES RAGGEDLY)
1226
01:37:07,364 --> 01:37:09,742
Emily... Emily...
1227
01:37:24,298 --> 01:37:26,467
Emily.
1228
01:37:26,634 --> 01:37:31,889
Open your eyes.
1229
01:37:32,056 --> 01:37:34,391
Emily, open your eyes.
1230
01:37:35,893 --> 01:37:37,853
Yeah.
1231
01:37:42,608 --> 01:37:44,693
Oh, yeah.
1232
01:37:44,860 --> 01:37:47,863
Is it really you?
1233
01:37:48,030 --> 01:37:49,782
(SIGHS WITH RELIEF)
1234
01:37:49,949 --> 01:37:52,910
- I love you.
- I love you.
1235
01:37:56,205 --> 01:37:58,249
I'm here.
1236
01:37:58,415 --> 01:38:00,793
I came for you.
1237
01:38:02,836 --> 01:38:05,172
Okay.
1238
01:38:11,595 --> 01:38:13,639
Stay awake.
1239
01:38:13,806 --> 01:38:16,183
I have you, always.
1240
01:38:17,393 --> 01:38:19,478
We're going home.
1241
01:38:19,645 --> 01:38:22,982
- You did mean it?
- Mean what?
1242
01:38:23,148 --> 01:38:25,526
When you said you would marry me.
1243
01:38:25,693 --> 01:38:27,820
In this life and the next.
1244
01:38:31,991 --> 01:38:34,493
Clear the way! Clear the way!
1245
01:38:34,660 --> 01:38:36,412
What's wrong with you? Make way!
1246
01:38:36,579 --> 01:38:38,956
- Where's Poe?
- He was here a moment ago.
1247
01:38:39,123 --> 01:38:40,708
Poe!
1248
01:38:40,874 --> 01:38:42,918
Hurry!
1249
01:38:46,338 --> 01:38:48,966
Where is Edgar? Where is Edgar?
1250
01:38:49,133 --> 01:38:50,968
(HAMILTON) Now, be careful.
1251
01:38:51,135 --> 01:38:52,595
Go, go, go!
1252
01:39:16,702 --> 01:39:18,120
Sir?
1253
01:39:18,287 --> 01:39:20,289
You are Edgar Poe, correct?
1254
01:39:22,625 --> 01:39:24,251
I am.
1255
01:39:25,419 --> 01:39:27,212
For a few more minutes, anyway.
1256
01:39:27,379 --> 01:39:30,591
Are you all right?
You look a little the worse for wear.
1257
01:39:30,758 --> 01:39:32,801
Is there someone I can call for you?
1258
01:39:34,219 --> 01:39:37,056
- Reynolds.
- You want me to find Reynolds?
1259
01:39:37,222 --> 01:39:39,224
Does he have a first name?
1260
01:39:39,391 --> 01:39:40,976
No.
1261
01:39:42,144 --> 01:39:46,940
Tell Fields...
his last name is Reynolds.
1262
01:39:47,107 --> 01:39:50,527
I'm sorry, sir,
you're not making much sense.
1263
01:39:55,658 --> 01:39:57,951
Tell Fields.
1264
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:07,294
The Lord help my poor soul.
1265
01:40:21,100 --> 01:40:23,185
(EXHALES SLOWLY)
1266
01:40:47,793 --> 01:40:49,962
Mr Fields?
1267
01:40:50,129 --> 01:40:52,631
- I'm Dr John Morgan.
- Doctor.
1268
01:40:53,674 --> 01:40:56,844
- Do you have a cause of death?
- I'm sorry, I don't.
1269
01:40:57,010 --> 01:40:58,887
I have a few ideas but...
1270
01:40:59,054 --> 01:41:02,349
As you know, he was brought in
in a very deranged state.
1271
01:41:02,516 --> 01:41:04,476
I'm told he was ranting.
1272
01:41:04,643 --> 01:41:06,103
Yes.
1273
01:41:06,270 --> 01:41:10,858
He kept going on and on about telling
you that your last name is Reynolds.
1274
01:41:11,024 --> 01:41:13,569
Is that helpful, or just gibberish?
1275
01:41:13,736 --> 01:41:15,571
Maybe both.
1276
01:41:18,031 --> 01:41:21,452
Well, thank you for your help,
Doctor.
1277
01:41:21,618 --> 01:41:24,329
I'd be interested in hearing
your final analysis.
1278
01:41:29,084 --> 01:41:32,337
(POE) Take this kiss upon thy brow,
1279
01:41:32,504 --> 01:41:38,010
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow -
1280
01:41:38,177 --> 01:41:44,016
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream.
1281
01:41:44,183 --> 01:41:49,646
All that we see or seem
ls but a dream within a dream.
1282
01:41:49,813 --> 01:41:53,984
(TRAIN ANNOUNCEMENT IN FRENCH)
1283
01:41:57,446 --> 01:42:00,574
Mr Reynolds, please follow me
to your carriage.
1284
01:42:00,741 --> 01:42:02,701
(TRAIN WHISTLE)
1285
01:42:28,477 --> 01:42:30,813
Merci pour votre aide.

(GUN COCKS)
1287
01:42:34,358 --> 01:42:36,193
Hello, Ivan.
1288
01:42:38,904 --> 01:42:40,572

# I have burned my tomorrows
1291
01:43:07,850 --> 01:43:10,894
# And I stand inside today
1292
01:43:28,328 --> 01:43:31,999
# And burn my shadow away
1293
01:43:53,020 --> 01:43:56,899
# And burn my shadow away
1294
01:44:02,946 --> 01:44:07,034
# And burn my shadow away #
