No, not Carlotta. Elster's wife.
:36:05
Yes, I guess you'd consider
that she would... You could...

:36:08
I think I'll go take a look at that portrait.
Goodbye.

:36:11
- Midge...
- Goodbye!

:36:13
Midge! You...
:36:43
You've done well.
You're good at your job.

:36:46
That's Carlotta Valdes.
There were things you didn't tell me.

:36:51
- I didn't know where she'd lead you.
- You knew about this.

:36:55
You notice the way she does her hair?
:36:58
There's something else -
my wife Madeleine

:37:00
has several pieces of jewellery
that belonged to Carlotta.

:37:04
She inherited them.
:37:06
Never wore them,
they were too old-fashioned.

:37:09
Until now.
:37:11
Now, when she's alone,
she takes them out and looks at them.

:37:14
Handles them, gently, curiously.
:37:18
Puts them on
and stares at herself in the mirror.

:37:21
Then goes into that other world,
is someone else again.

:37:26
Carlotta Valdes was what,
your wife's... grandmother?

:37:30
Great-grandmother.
:37:32
The child who was taken from her,
:37:34
whose loss drove Carlotta mad
and to her death,

:37:37
was Madeleine's grandmother.
:37:39
And the McKittrick Hotel
is the old Valdes home.

:37:44
I think that explains it. Anyone could
become obsessed with the past

:37:48
with a background like that.
:37:51
She never heard of Carlotta Valdes.
:37:54
She knows nothing of a grave
at the Mission Dolores,

:37:57
or that old house on Eddy Street,
:37:59
the portrait at
the Palace of the Legion of...?
