The program that young Kirsten is watching on the TV in the cabin is "The Conscience of the King" (1966), from the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series. The episode tells the story of a mass murderer who has assumed a new identity as the leader of a traveling Shakespearean theater troupe. The Star Trek episode's title references a line from Hamlet: " The play's the thing / Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king" (Act 2, scene 2).
