:47:02
When someone would die,
they would call for a sin eater.

:47:05
Sin eaters were
social outcasts, marginals.

:47:09
They would lay out the body,
:47:10
put bread and salt
on the chest,

:47:12
coins upon the eyes.
:47:14
The sin eater would eat
the bread and salt,

:47:16
take the coins as payment.
:47:18
By doing this,
the eater absorbed,

:47:21
the sins of the deceased,
cleansing their soul,

:47:24
and allowing them safe passage
into the afterlife.

:47:27
That was their job.
:47:33
And what about the sin eater
:47:34
who bears the burden
of all those wrongs ?

:47:37
Are you worried
about my soul, Fletcher ?

:47:44
I will have Bannister.
:47:45
I can't give him to you.
:47:50
You see that man behind me ?
:47:53
I don't want to bring him
into this conversation

:47:57
but I will if you leave me
no other choice.

:48:28
Do you remember the moment
:48:29
you first fell in love
with your husband ?

:48:33
Goodness. How can you answer
a question like that ?

:48:37
The pier ?
:48:38
Yes, the pier.
:48:40
He had taken me down
to the pier.

:48:42
It was springtime.
:48:44
We were walking,
and he was going on...

:48:46
This was during college ?
:48:47
Yes, I was in college
:48:49
and I remember,
I looked up at him

:48:51
and I thought,
this is the man

:48:52
I want to spend
the rest of my life with.

:48:56
I just have one more question.
:48:58
There was a man
at one of your parties.
