"Dear Mr. Plaisted,
:39:10
I will be in Portsmouth
on April 15th,
:39:12
and would very much
appreciate it
:39:14
if I could meet in your
chambers that afternoon.
:39:17
Please respond
by return post.
:39:20
Sincerely,
Mrs. John Hontvedt."
:39:26
Aren't you hot?
:39:28
Do you want to swim
or something?
:39:30
Take a look at this.
Tell me what you think.
:39:32
What is it?
:39:33
A letter Maren Hontvedt
wrote to the prosecutor.
:39:38
- What do you think?
- Not much to it, is there?
:39:41
- Look at the date.
- April 7th, 1875."
:39:46
That's two years
after the trial.
:39:50
What reason could Maren have
for meeting the prosecutor then?
:39:53
Okay, I give.
:39:56
Louis Wagner
was hanged three weeks
:39:58
after she wrote
this letter.
:40:00
Maybe Maren couldn't live
with the guilt
:40:02
and she wanted to confess
before an innocent man died.
:40:06
Confess?
:40:07
I thought you were
snapping a few photographs,
:40:09
- Not re-opening the case.
- Aren't you curious?
:40:12
Yeah.
:40:13
I want to go back
to the mainland for a few hours,
:40:16
Iook around
the courthouse in Portsmouth.
:40:18
Maybe there's a record
of this meeting.
:40:22
We are running
a little low on wine.
:40:27
Thomas
is outdoing himself, hmm?
:40:42
Hey...
:40:45
you all right?
:40:48
So I thought...
:40:51
Never better.
:40:54
"And in that day they shall
roar against them
:40:56
like the roaring
of the sea,
:40:58
and if one look
unto the land,
