00:14:48,596 --> 00:14:51,725
Does the artistic enrichment
of your readers mean nothing to you?

179
00:14:51,891 --> 00:14:53,734
Artistic enrichment?

180
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:57,363
You've got some gall, barging
into my office and lecturing me

181
00:14:57,522 --> 00:14:59,820
when ail you do
is criticize others' work!

182
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:01,575
Not true. Not true at all.

183
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:06,285
You called Emerson
a "sad, festering literary whore".

184
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:08,040
Because he is precisely that.

185
00:15:08,199 --> 00:15:11,499
Is honesty now a vice, or do you
prefer that jaded hack, Griswold,

186
00:15:11,661 --> 00:15:15,131
fawning over some steaming mound
of hackneyed tripe?

187
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:18,634
- Doesn't think much of YOUR stuff.
- He's an intellectual nonentity.

188
00:15:18,793 --> 00:15:22,172
He's a buffoon, which is probably why
he's so at home here with you.

189
00:15:22,338 --> 00:15:23,715
Aw, you're out of control.

190
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:28,102
I'm broke.

191
00:15:28,261 --> 00:15:30,639
Then try writing
another "Tell-Tale Heart".

192
00:15:30,805 --> 00:15:33,183
People love blood. They love death.

193
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:36,774
If I couldn't churn out a "Tell-Tale
Heart" or a "Pit and the Pendulum“,

194
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:39,189
I'd indenture
my very soul to the devil.

195
00:15:39,355 --> 00:15:42,029
You've got to publish my review.
I'm desperate.

196
00:15:42,191 --> 00:15:45,070
I need stories. Gripping stories.

197
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:49,036
I've got nothing left.

198
00:15:52,452 --> 00:15:54,295
I've used up all my tricks.

199
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:58,004
Try laying off the liquor and
tinctures. it's rotting your brain.

200
00:15:58,166 --> 00:16:00,043
I only drink occasionally,

201
00:16:00,209 --> 00:16:03,133
to be social,
to alleviate my shyness.

202
00:16:04,005 --> 00:16:06,474
And the tinctures
are purely therapeutic.

203
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:10,057
A slight palliative against the chill
of an orphan's despair.

204
00:16:12,138 --> 00:16:16,314
<i>- Write me something I can sell.</i>
<i>- You're a real bastard, Henry.</i>

205
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,276
Why are you doing this?!
Why?!

206
00:16:24,442 --> 00:16:26,570
What have I done?!

207
00:16:27,612 --> 00:16:29,364
Please!

208
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:31,453
No!

209
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:54,305

210
00:16:59,602 --> 00:17:01,980
Agh! Argh!

Aaaargh!

AAARGHH!

Consider, Carl, if you will,
the human heart.

214
00:17:33,302 --> 00:17:34,679
This small chamber,

215
00:17:34,845 --> 00:17:37,018
a vacancy,
where gases are wed to fluids

216
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:40,105

You think you're so clever,

I think that it is the most romantic

So, I had to hear about your stunt

- to finally explode.

I think Father has begun to suspect.

00:19:53,484 --> 00:19:55,327
Yes, and I consider it my duty

245
00:19:55,486 --> 00:19:58,330
to wrestle you away
from that gun-toting Philistine.

246
00:19:58,489 --> 00:20:00,662
And into the arms of you,

247
00:20:00,825 --> 00:20:03,169
- Who better?
- Then why antagonize him?

248
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:06,001
I can't help it.
I despise people who despise me.

249
00:20:06,163 --> 00:20:08,632
Edgar, we need to talk.

250
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:11,089
- What is Carl eating?
- A heart.

251
00:20:11,836 --> 00:20:13,634
- A human heart?
- Mm-hm.

252
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:17,426
- How in heaven did you come by it?
- An admirer works at the morgue.

253
00:20:17,591 --> 00:20:19,218
I was searching for inspiration.

254
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:22,309
So tell me again exactly...

255
00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:27,602
how much... money you made

256
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:31,238
from your self-proclaimed
world-famous poem about that bird?

257
00:20:31,397 --> 00:20:34,241

that it's world-famous?

259
00:20:36,777 --> 00:20:38,654
We can't go on like this.

Emily, what do you want?

261
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:44,873
I want you to get up off your knees

unless you intend to use
that position for another purpose.

263
00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:51,171
The imagination reels
with possibilities.

264
00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:53,711
But what did you have in mind
specifically?

265
00:20:53,878 --> 00:20:55,755
A proposal.

- You mean marriage?

267
00:20:58,883 --> 00:21:03,229
It's not such a horrible thought.
People still do it from time to time.

268
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:07,187
- Really? When?
- When they're in love, I suppose.

269
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:13,447
If I were in love with that person,
would I think about her all the time?

270
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:15,074
Most likely.

271
00:21:15,232 --> 00:21:19,282
And would I spend
every waking moment

272
00:21:19,445 --> 00:21:21,698
desiring to smother the other
with affection?

273
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:23,616
It has been described as such.

274
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:28,254
Emily, you are my greatest -
and only - inspiration.

00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:32,591

00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:34,297
<i>Yes.</i>

278
00:21:35,503 --> 00:21:37,096
I love you.

279
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,395
You ridiculous man.

280
00:21:44,553 --> 00:21:48,729
Now, what do we do about
your dear, dear, gun-toting father'?

281
00:21:48,891 --> 00:21:50,939
I've been thinking about that.

00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:01,362

I'd forbid it.

- I know.

287
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,416

of a demon's that is dreaming,

with the whores
of our recently mechanized society,

reducing brother bee to nothing more
than a "honey-making thing",

- What?

Soot is merely carbon residue
from coal and wood.

Am I under arrest?

00:24:37,184 --> 00:24:39,482
I'm Detective Fields.
Please, sit down, Mr. Poe.

00:24:39,645 --> 00:24:43,070
Yes, the infamous Detective Fields.
Am I under arrest?

00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:46,159
No. Not as yet.

00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:49,071

I didn't say I was an admirer.

332

And yet you read them.

333
00:25:04,044 --> 00:25:07,014
The night before last a girl
and her mother were found murdered,

334
00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:08,845
the daughter lodged in a chimney,

the mother's head nearly severed
<i>with a straight razor.</i>

336

in which a lock was feigned
with a nail sawn in half.

338

Does any of this
sound familiar to you, Mr. Poe?

339
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:25,611
But you're talking about my story.

340
00:25:25,774 --> 00:25:27,697
A work of fiction.

341
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:31,785
I'm afraid I'm not.

342
00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:41,924
According to various witnesses,
you were seen drunk two nights ago

343
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:43,880
in a tavern near the harbour.

What time did you leave?

345
00:25:50,090 --> 00:25:52,138
I don't remember.

346
00:25:52,301 --> 00:25:56,727
My leaving was... involuntary.

347
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:01,519
Do you actually think
that I murdered these people?

348
00:26:02,936 --> 00:26:04,654
May I see your hand?

349
00:26:05,647 --> 00:26:07,194

- Edgar? Well, the past ten years.

You published his story,

He wrote that several years back

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

The victim was still in her costume,

702
00:52:05,164 --> 00:52:08,384
which suggests she was abducted
directly from the theater.

he took employment in the theater,

833
01:03:08,493 --> 01:03:10,962

- And?

- 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.

Tunnels?

876
01:05:50,071 --> 01:05:51,698

a sextant, an accurate chronometer
and a celestial almanac.

965
01:13:13,264 --> 01:13:16,689

<i>- Exact noon.</i>
<i>- Shall I bring more?</i>

as I read your final chapter,

1128
01:28:36,895 --> 01:28:39,273

1133
01:28:59,417 --> 01:29:02,045

and kill me and young Miss Emily

I have to admit, I don't cry easily,

1152
01:30:13,366 --> 01:30:17,621

even when you closed me out.

1195

1213

Goodbye, Mr. Poe.

1214

I've enjoyed our time together.

Okay,

1238
01:38:11,594 --> 01:38:13,642
Stay awake.

1239
01:38:13,805 --> 01:38:16,183
I have you, always.

We're going home.

1241

- Mean what?

- He was here a moment ago.

Sir?

1253
01:39:18,286 --> 01:39:20,288
You are Edgar Poe, correct?

1254
01:39:22,623 --> 01:39:24,250
I am.

1255
01:39:25,418 --> 01:39:27,216
For a few more minutes, anyway.

1256
01:39:27,378 --> 01:39:30,598
Are you all right?
You look a little the worse for wear.

1257
01:39:30,756 --> 01:39:32,804
Is there someone I can call for you?

1258
01:39:34,218 --> 01:39:37,062
<i>- Reynolds.</i>
<i>- You want me to find Reynolds?</i>

1259
01:39:37,221 --> 01:39:39,223
Does he have a first name?

1260
01:39:39,390 --> 01:39:40,983
<i>No.</i>

1261
01:39:42,143 --> 01:39:46,944
Tell Fields...
his last name is Reynolds.

1262
01:39:47,106 --> 01:39:50,531
I'm sorry, sir,
you're not making much sense.

1263
01:39:55,656 --> 01:39:57,954
Tell Fields.

Mr. Fields?

- I'm Dr. John Morgan.
- Doctor.

1268
01:40:53,673 --> 01:40:56,847
- Do you have a cause of death?
- I'm sorry, I don't.

1269
01:40:57,009 --> 01:40:58,886
I have a few ideas but...

1270
01:40:59,053 --> 01:41:02,353
As you know, he was brought in
in a very deranged state.

1271
01:41:02,515 --> 01:41:04,483
I'm told he was ranting.

1272
01:41:04,642 --> 01:41:06,110
<i>Yes.</i>

1273
01:41:06,269 --> 01:41:10,866
He kept going on and on about telling
you that your last name is Reynolds.

1274
01:41:11,023 --> 01:41:13,572
Is that helpful, or just gibberish?

1275
01:41:13,734 --> 01:41:15,577
Maybe both.

1276
01:41:18,030 --> 01:41:21,455
Well, thank you for your help,
Doctor.

1277
01:41:21,617 --> 01:41:24,336

your final analysis.
