when processed by bees into honey.

of poison honey in her tea.

with her repentant love.

you made her a suicide.

A victim of legend. Of ghosts.

You had got away
with killing your own child,

until Ms. Oliver drew my attention
to something.

I can't afford to fix it.

- Blackmail.
- (ROWENA GASPS)
1657
01:25:42,750 --> 01:25:45,416
HERCULE: I suspect that someone
had found you out.
1658
01:25:45,416 --> 01:25:47,666
And so you paid for their silence.
1659
01:25:47,666 --> 01:25:49,125
Again and again, you paid.
1660
01:25:49,875 --> 01:25:53,041
But now, with your fortune gone
and this house unsalable at any price,
1661
01:25:53,041 --> 01:25:55,833
you were desperate to get out
from under the blackmailer's thumb.
1662
01:25:55,833 --> 01:25:57,041
But who could it be?
1663
01:25:58,083 --> 01:26:00,041
Your obvious suspect was Doctor Ferrier.
1664
01:26:00,041 --> 01:26:02,166
Perhaps he was not so naive a witness.
1665
01:26:02,166 --> 01:26:06,208
Perhaps finally,
he recognized the poison symptoms.
1666
01:26:06,208 --> 01:26:09,500
And then you received your letter
from the unholy Ms. Reynolds,
1667
01:26:09,500 --> 01:26:11,958
claiming messages from your lost daughter.
1668
01:26:11,958 --> 01:26:14,166
Too many intimate details known,

her services offered at a heavy price.
1670
01:26:18,416 --> 01:26:20,625
Surely this was your blackmailer.
1671
01:26:20,625 --> 01:26:22,333
She had to be stopped to be safe.
1672
01:26:22,333 --> 01:26:25,791
Both Ms. Reynolds and Doctor Ferrier
had to be stopped. But how?

The séance in a haunted house
on Halloween.
