:07:03
Are you all right?
:07:06
Yes, I--I think so.
:07:08
Do you Want to go back?
:07:10
No. No.
:07:20
You've often expressed a Wish
to meet the rest of my family.

:07:23
Well, here they are--
:07:25
all my ancestors,
famous and infamous...

:07:29
Iaid here to--
What is the term?

:07:32
To rest.
:07:38
From the beginning,
death has come...

:07:40
to the Carrells
like an assassin...

:07:43
but the least fortunate
of all Was my father.

:07:46
How did he die?
:07:48
Like a single candle
in a dark and airless room.

:07:53
Emily, my father--
:07:54
Guy.
:07:56
Kate, Why are you here?
:07:59
It's time for your medicine.
:08:00
Oh, yes. I'd forgotten.
I'm sorry. Thank you.

:08:03
What medicine?
:08:10
Laudanum.
:08:13
Guy, is this the cause of--
:08:15
No. Not a cause. An effect.
:08:17
Without it, I couldn't sleep.
:08:23
Guy, tell me.
:08:25
I should never have gone
With your father...

:08:27
and those other doctors
that night.

:08:29
I'm interested only
in private research.

:08:32
I can never forget
that poor Wretch...

:08:35
Whose grave they robbed.
:08:38
His staring eyes...
:08:40
his clutching hands...
:08:43
his fingernails
broken and bloody...

:08:45
from the vain attempt
to claW aWay...

:08:47
the lid of that coffin.
:08:50
You see, all this has
a special meaning for me, Emily.

:08:55
For years,
I've lived in dread...

:08:56
of being buried alive.
