Thank you.
1:06:28
Mrs. Venable, I do
want to speak with you...
1:06:31
Oh, this forgetfulness,
my greatest failing, doctor.
1:06:34
I have a little gift for you,
this book.
1:06:37
Thank you.
1:06:39
- Poem of Summer.
- By my son, Sebastian Venable.
1:06:42
That volume contains only one poem,
as do the others I have.
1:06:46
Each with the title Poem of Summer
and the date of the summer.
1:06:49
If you like that one,
I'll bring the others.
1:06:52
He wrote one poem a year?
1:06:54
One for each summer
that we travelled together.
1:06:57
The other nine months of the year
were really only a preparation.
1:07:01
Nine months?
1:07:03
The length of a pregnancy, yes.
1:07:06
I gather the poem was hard to deliver.
1:07:09
Even with me. Without me, impossible.
1:07:12
- Doctor, he wrote no poem last summer.
- But he died last summer.
1:07:17
Without me, he died.
1:07:19
That was his last summer's poem.
1:07:22
Mrs. Venable, how exactly
did your son die?
1:07:27
I told you, a heart attack.
1:07:30
Is that what the letter said?
1:07:32
How did Catherine know
I received a letter?
1:07:36
Catherine? She knows very little.
1:07:39
She can't remember.
1:07:41
That's her illness. She was there,
but she can't remember.
1:07:45
- Mrs. Holly told me about it.
- So you've seen her too, have you?
1:07:48
I must say, you have been observing.
1:07:51
There was no letter,
only a death certificate.
1:07:54
- I'd like to see that if...
- Why?
1:07:56
I think it's important. I want to know
what happened the day your son died.
