Description:

West Point, 1830. A world-weary detective is hired to discreetly investigate the gruesome murder of a cadet. Stymied by the cadets’ code of silence, he enlists one of their own to help unravel the case — a young man the world would come to know as Edgar Allan Poe.

Transcription:

Edgar: Is it true you once solicited a confession with nothing more than a piercing look?

Augustus: With enough patience, the suspect will often interrogate himself.

Jean: Detective Landor, one of our cadets… hanged himself last night.

Augustus: That's a matter for the coroner.

Daniel: I'm afraid that's not the end of it. His heart was carved from his chest.

Augustus: What type of fella could do this?

Capt. Hitchcock: It'd have to be -A madman!

Augustus: I need you to decipher this.

Jean: Rumor has it there are instructions for immortality.

Cadet Loughbor: Someone there?

Jean: Another cadet is missing.

Augustus: Poe, I need you to discretely infiltrate the cadets.

Edgar: What is this?

Augustus: Blood, symbols, rituals.

Edgar: Oh my Lord.

Lea: Man will do most anything to cheat death.

Edgar: Where are the facts? Where are the simple facts?

Augustus: The truth!

Edgar: I believe the dead haunt us because we love them too little.

Cadet: Captain! Up here!

Jean: We're no closer to finding who's responsible for this than we were a month ago!

Augustus: We are closer. It's only a matter of time.

에드거: 한때 날카로운 눈빛으로 고백을 권유한 적이 있다는 게 사실인가요?
