WEBVTT
00:14.105 --> 00:17.688
I don't tolerate vulgarity or disease.
00:18.271 --> 00:21.521
My girls are moral and kind.
00:22.021 --> 00:25.646
Men come to Faye's
for a graceful experience.
00:26.146 --> 00:28.771
We want our customers to feel as though
00:28.855 --> 00:33.896
whatever might arise of a sexual nature
has occurred almost by happenstance.
00:34.521 --> 00:36.396
- I understand.
- Hm.
00:38.396 --> 00:40.563
This will not be your first brothel?
00:41.063 --> 00:41.896
No.
00:42.855 --> 00:44.313
Where did you work before?
00:44.396 --> 00:47.230
- Near Boston for a few years.
- Hm.
00:48.855 --> 00:51.313
And you're here of your own free will?
00:51.813 --> 00:53.146
No one is forcing you?
00:53.230 --> 00:57.355
I'd count myself fortunate to be employed
at a house such as yours, Madam Faye.
00:59.771 --> 01:03.355
I hope you don't mind me
asking these questions.
01:03.438 --> 01:04.521
It's just
01:06.063 --> 01:08.480
that it's so puzzling.
01:09.480 --> 01:13.230
You're so pretty and young and ladylike.
01:13.313 --> 01:17.855
Why, you could have a husband
and a surrey and a corner house in town
01:17.938 --> 01:19.521
with no trouble at all.
01:19.605 --> 01:21.521
I hope you won't insist on knowing.
01:22.063 --> 01:24.938
The happiness of someone
very dear to me is involved.
01:27.480 --> 01:29.355
What was your name again?
01:29.438 --> 01:30.271
Kate.
01:31.646 --> 01:32.521
Kate Albey.
01:34.271 --> 01:37.813
Breakfast is at eight. Supper at four.
01:37.896 --> 01:42.313
We begin to receive visitors at seven.
Oh, Georgia, be a dear.
01:42.396 --> 01:45.230
- Show Kate up to Rosie's old room.
- Sure.
01:45.813 --> 01:47.605
- Hello.
- Come on.
01:53.313 --> 01:54.146
Ethel.
01:54.771 --> 01:56.980
I need you to run an errand
for me tomorrow.
01:57.063 --> 02:00.688
- You need more pills from Dr. Wilde?
- No, no. I have a message for the sheriff.
02:01.188 --> 02:03.938
I want him to take a look at this girl
and tell me what I'm missing.
02:42.105 --> 02:46.230
Oh… Oh… Oh… Oh…
02:51.271 --> 02:52.355
One moment!
02:52.438 --> 02:53.480
Miss Albey?
02:54.146 --> 02:55.355
This is Sheriff Quinn.
03:14.980 --> 03:17.563
That's a funny picture for a whorehouse.
03:17.646 --> 03:19.021
It was here.
03:22.896 --> 03:28.563
Miss Faye asked me to size you up,
03:29.480 --> 03:30.396
who you are,
03:30.896 --> 03:32.188
where you come from.
03:33.813 --> 03:35.480
I'm happy to answer any of your questions.
03:35.563 --> 03:37.105
Oh, it won't be necessary.
03:37.938 --> 03:40.230
I've just come from out near King City.
03:40.980 --> 03:44.230
And they asked me there
to see about your husband,
03:44.313 --> 03:45.563
Adam Trask.
03:46.980 --> 03:48.771
- I…
- Oh, no, no, no.
03:48.855 --> 03:50.480
There's no need to pretend.
03:51.146 --> 03:52.855
I've seen your wedding picture.
03:54.980 --> 03:56.646
Don't you wanna know how bad you shot him?
03:59.646 --> 04:00.688
Yes.
04:00.771 --> 04:03.355
Well, a .44 tears the hell out of a man.
04:03.438 --> 04:05.188
If not for the Chink,
he'd have bled to death,
04:05.271 --> 04:07.980
and you'd be staying with me in the jail.
04:08.063 --> 04:09.563
I'm sorry.
04:09.646 --> 04:11.188
Oh, no, you're not.
04:12.605 --> 04:14.396
You left a couple of babies.
04:15.771 --> 04:18.396
Nah, I'm not gonna make you go back there.
04:18.980 --> 04:21.355
In fact, I'd do quite a bit
to keep you from going back there
04:21.438 --> 04:23.896
because I don't want you
to hurt Mr. Trask or those little boys.
04:23.980 --> 04:25.938
I have no intention of hurting them.
04:26.021 --> 04:31.188
Oh, I'm pretty sure they'd be hurt plenty
if they ever found out what you are.
04:31.688 --> 04:33.771
A whore is a whore.
04:34.271 --> 04:38.396
I don't care how you live your life
as long as you don't give me any trouble.
04:38.896 --> 04:41.146
What is it you do want?
04:42.438 --> 04:45.021
Well, you'll keep your new name,
Miss Albey.
04:46.271 --> 04:47.855
- Kate.
- Sure.
04:47.938 --> 04:49.896
Color your hair dark for a while.
04:49.980 --> 04:52.271
See, lots of people
look like somebody else.
04:53.438 --> 04:54.521
What about this?
04:55.063 --> 04:58.105
Well, if somebody thinks they know you
by that mark, well, that's just a…
04:58.605 --> 04:59.813
That's…
05:00.355 --> 05:02.105
Oh, what is that word?
05:02.688 --> 05:04.521
- Coincidence?
- Yeah.
05:04.605 --> 05:06.813
Coincidence.
05:11.855 --> 05:13.730
And what will you tell Faye?
05:17.605 --> 05:21.980
That you'll make
a fine addition to the house.
05:25.896 --> 05:27.355
Isn't there a threat?
05:28.355 --> 05:30.355
Or something that you want in return?
05:32.480 --> 05:33.396
Yeah.
05:34.813 --> 05:36.021
I got a boy.
05:36.855 --> 05:37.980
Nearing 20.
05:38.480 --> 05:39.938
Big, nice-looking fella
05:40.438 --> 05:42.021
with a broken nose.
05:42.730 --> 05:46.521
If he comes by,
I want you to send him down to Jenny's.
05:48.188 --> 05:50.021
I don't want him coming in here.
06:10.521 --> 06:11.855
Tainted.
06:13.313 --> 06:14.438
Not that it matters.
06:17.396 --> 06:20.938
The only true freedom
in this world is economic freedom.
06:22.396 --> 06:25.771
And for the modern woman,
that presents a problem.
06:27.355 --> 06:29.355
She could marry into wealth, of course.
06:29.438 --> 06:33.396
But those assets will belong
to her husband as surely as she does.
06:34.730 --> 06:36.355
Leslie got pregnant?
06:36.438 --> 06:40.313
No, there are only two ways
for a woman to acquire her own money.
06:42.563 --> 06:45.688
She can be fortunate enough
to have a rich relative die.
06:46.563 --> 06:49.230
Or she can own and run her own brothel.
06:56.813 --> 06:58.313
Enjoy yourself. Oh, thank you.
06:58.396 --> 07:01.355
People who don't know
think it's easy to be a madam.
07:03.146 --> 07:06.105
They think a madam just sits
in a big chair and drinks beer
07:06.188 --> 07:08.313
and takes half the money the girls make.
07:12.021 --> 07:13.813
But it's not like that at all.
07:17.730 --> 07:19.230
You have to feed the girls.
07:19.730 --> 07:22.771
That means managing the groceries
and overseeing a cook.
07:24.813 --> 07:28.688
Your laundry problem is quite a bit more
complicated than that of a hotel.
07:29.896 --> 07:33.480
You have to keep on good terms
with the sheriff and the shopkeepers.
07:35.021 --> 07:38.480
You have to keep all your employees well
and as happy as possible.
07:40.688 --> 07:44.146
Whores, especially those
getting along in the years,
07:44.230 --> 07:46.313
can be pretty flighty with a razor.
07:47.438 --> 07:50.230
That kind of thing
gets your house a bad name.
07:50.813 --> 07:53.813
So you have to keep suicide
at an absolute minimum.
07:56.063 --> 08:00.313
See, it isn't so easy running a house.
08:01.355 --> 08:04.646
And if you have waste too,
you can lose money.
08:07.480 --> 08:09.771
Oh, isn't that lovely?
08:10.563 --> 08:14.396
Look, Ethel, she remembered
to use my special plates.
08:14.980 --> 08:16.563
Thanks, you can go now.
08:17.146 --> 08:17.980
Go on.
08:19.063 --> 08:20.771
Faye asked to speak with me.
08:22.313 --> 08:24.188
Ethel, give us a moment, dear.
08:29.896 --> 08:30.730
Hm.
08:32.230 --> 08:33.105
Sit down.
08:38.396 --> 08:42.521
Were you aware that clients
have been asking for you by name?
08:43.771 --> 08:44.938
More all the time.
08:45.438 --> 08:46.688
Do you know why?
08:48.896 --> 08:50.480
Perhaps they like my face.
08:52.896 --> 08:55.730
A pretty face alone
does not inspire loyalty.
08:56.313 --> 08:57.146
Hm.
08:58.438 --> 09:00.396
Do you know what I find curious?
09:00.480 --> 09:02.605
One would assume a girl as gifted as you
09:02.688 --> 09:05.521
would have made enemies
of the other girls in the house,
09:06.313 --> 09:09.980
but the girls all profess to like you.
09:11.646 --> 09:15.896
Grace says you embroidered her
a handkerchief with her initials.
09:15.980 --> 09:17.855
My mother taught me to stitch neatly.
09:19.271 --> 09:21.313
I can make one for you, if you like.
09:21.396 --> 09:26.105
Kate, why are you behaving
like a schoolgirl due for punishment?
09:26.813 --> 09:29.563
I assumed you were displeased
with me to call me in.
09:30.063 --> 09:31.855
On the contrary, my dear.
09:32.688 --> 09:34.521
You appear to be a treasure.
09:35.855 --> 09:38.563
I would like for you to remain happy here.
09:38.646 --> 09:40.480
What do you desire?
09:40.563 --> 09:42.230
- A… a bigger room?
- No.
09:42.313 --> 09:45.896
- Some addition to your wardrobe?
- No, no. I'm… I'm perfectly…
09:47.480 --> 09:49.105
- What?
- Nothing.
09:50.146 --> 09:51.813
Spit it out, child.
09:51.896 --> 09:53.188
Who helps you?
09:53.855 --> 09:57.230
- What do you mean?
- With the bills and such.
09:58.688 --> 10:01.480
Surely you don't oversee every aspect
of the house on your own?
10:01.563 --> 10:04.271
- Of course I do.
- That's terrible.
10:04.813 --> 10:06.521
You'll work yourself to death.
10:06.605 --> 10:08.355
This is the life of a madam,
10:09.063 --> 10:10.480
the life I chose.
10:10.563 --> 10:13.188
- But your health…
- What about my health?
10:14.313 --> 10:18.605
I have noticed on occasion
you take medicine.
10:18.688 --> 10:20.396
It is only Pinkham's.
10:24.021 --> 10:25.896
My mother was so much like you.
10:27.146 --> 10:30.063
Thinking only of others,
no concern for herself.
10:31.396 --> 10:32.480
Till the very end.
10:33.438 --> 10:34.438
Hm…
10:36.855 --> 10:39.896
Allow me to shoulder
some small part of your burden.
10:39.980 --> 10:41.771
Well, it's not necessary.
10:41.855 --> 10:45.271
Laundry and grocery bills.
Let me manage them for one month.
10:45.355 --> 10:47.146
And if all isn't to your liking,
10:47.646 --> 10:50.063
we shall restore them
to the current arrangement.
10:50.563 --> 10:54.063
I've noticed a good third of the porridge
gets thrown out each morning.
10:55.355 --> 10:57.063
Not my fault you all don't eat.
10:57.146 --> 10:59.896
But by the time the girls
pull themselves out of bed,
10:59.980 --> 11:01.813
the porridge has often gone cold.
11:01.896 --> 11:03.855
Might the timing be altered?
11:03.938 --> 11:06.230
No. I have to start on dinner.
11:06.313 --> 11:08.896
Most days, there's at least one girl
11:08.980 --> 11:11.771
flashing the red flag,
lying about, not earning.
11:12.521 --> 11:14.771
Could we put those idle hands to work?
11:16.855 --> 11:19.021
For every trick, you'll get a mark.
11:19.105 --> 11:21.563
And at the end of each week,
we'll tally them up.
11:21.646 --> 11:22.563
May,
11:23.396 --> 11:27.355
you performed heroically last week,
11:27.938 --> 11:31.521
not only how many tricks you turned,
but just how pungent some of the men were.
11:33.188 --> 11:35.688
I'll work on getting our clients to bathe.
11:37.980 --> 11:40.438
We'd obviously like
to keep our business with you.
11:40.521 --> 11:43.063
Your services are undeniably superior.
11:44.355 --> 11:46.355
Fifteen pounds of laundry, twice a week,
11:46.438 --> 11:49.396
more in summer,
and our business is growing.
11:50.230 --> 11:52.313
I'd hate for you to lose out
on such a contract.
11:53.855 --> 11:54.688
Four cent.
11:54.771 --> 11:55.605
Three.
11:57.063 --> 11:59.813
I'll talk to the other houses
about bringing you their business as well.
12:04.563 --> 12:08.230
Over a hundred tricks this week,
which I think we can be proud of.
12:08.313 --> 12:09.563
I should say so.
12:09.646 --> 12:11.855
Although, some of those
were Jenny's regulars
12:11.938 --> 12:13.813
on account of Jenny being closed for Lent.
12:13.896 --> 12:16.896
I did give them a special rate to see
if we couldn't persuade them to return.
12:17.896 --> 12:19.563
You think of everything.
12:20.063 --> 12:21.480
Just look at this place.
12:22.188 --> 12:24.105
You knew what was needed before I did.
12:24.188 --> 12:26.438
Well, it's my pleasure to care for you.
12:27.021 --> 12:27.855
Hm.
12:51.480 --> 12:52.313
Alice?
13:04.771 --> 13:07.396
I asked him not to be so rough.
13:09.105 --> 13:10.396
Where are you hurt?
13:31.938 --> 13:33.771
I'll have Dr. Wilde come tomorrow morning.
13:33.855 --> 13:36.480
- I can't afford the fee.
- The house will pay.
13:36.563 --> 13:40.646
- That's against Faye's policy.
- Well, you can't work until you've healed.
13:41.355 --> 13:43.188
And you can't heal without a doctor.
13:45.230 --> 13:47.105
I cried in front of him.
13:48.480 --> 13:49.563
And he liked it.
13:53.021 --> 13:54.521
He liked it.
14:02.355 --> 14:05.105
Do you know the story Alice in Wonderland?
14:11.271 --> 14:14.896
It's about this little girl,
Alice, like you,
14:15.605 --> 14:17.938
who goes into this world,
and it's upside down.
14:19.563 --> 14:22.271
Animals talk. Nothing is as it seems.
14:22.355 --> 14:25.355
And she finds this…
this bottle that says "drink me."
14:27.063 --> 14:30.438
And the potion makes her shrink down
until she's so very small.
14:35.438 --> 14:37.230
When I was a little girl…
14:40.063 --> 14:41.313
and I was afraid…
14:43.313 --> 14:44.271
or hurt…
14:46.480 --> 14:49.896
there was no place to hide,
no escape, I would think about Alice.
14:49.980 --> 14:50.896
"Drink me."
14:52.938 --> 14:56.688
And I'd feel myself growing so small…
14:57.188 --> 14:59.646
…so small, nobody could find me.
15:00.313 --> 15:03.563
But Alice would be there,
waiting to welcome me.
15:07.688 --> 15:08.855
And I knew
15:10.730 --> 15:13.813
I had only to drink the whole bottle,
and I would disappear.
15:15.855 --> 15:17.230
But I never had to.
15:18.063 --> 15:19.938
Because I always had Alice.
15:25.480 --> 15:26.855
You need not be alone.
15:35.271 --> 15:36.188
Tell me…
15:38.938 --> 15:40.396
which client did this to you?
16:15.646 --> 16:17.563
What do you call that, Cotton Eye?
16:18.146 --> 16:21.063
"Moonlight." Piece by Beethoven.
16:21.146 --> 16:24.021
- Do you know the words?
- It don't have words.
16:24.521 --> 16:26.146
Sounds like moonlight.
16:27.021 --> 16:28.105
Play it again.
16:39.521 --> 16:43.438
Perhaps my girls
will be upstairs and greet you.
16:44.563 --> 16:45.396
That's it.
17:23.563 --> 17:24.605
I asked for Alice.
17:24.688 --> 17:26.896
And I asked for you, Mr. Bacon.
17:29.355 --> 17:31.813
Why should a whore's request
outweigh mine?
17:34.771 --> 17:36.771
I have heard about your
17:38.271 --> 17:39.480
tastes.
17:41.855 --> 17:43.313
Alice is a lovely girl,
17:44.021 --> 17:50.146
but I think I may be able
to sate your appetites
17:50.230 --> 17:53.521
with a little more precision.
17:56.230 --> 17:57.188
You see…
17:58.646 --> 17:59.480
Ah.
18:03.063 --> 18:04.813
In my experience,
18:06.021 --> 18:09.771
those that bear a great burden of power,
18:11.063 --> 18:12.480
they like to be…
18:13.646 --> 18:16.563
…relieved of it every so often.
18:22.896 --> 18:23.813
And you, sir,
18:25.646 --> 18:29.771
you appear to be a very powerful person.
18:32.563 --> 18:34.771
Do you want me to show you what I can do?
18:36.313 --> 18:39.271
Or would you rather beat me
until I call you Father?
18:44.980 --> 18:46.980
The egg man was short again today.
18:47.063 --> 18:50.313
Oh. He'll make it up to us when he can.
18:51.230 --> 18:52.896
You're too trusting, Faye.
18:52.980 --> 18:56.271
If you don't take care, someone will steal
the roof from right over your head.
18:56.355 --> 18:59.021
I have you to watch out for me now.
18:59.646 --> 19:02.688
Mm. I'm trying to do just that.
19:05.521 --> 19:09.605
It's strange to think you haven't even
been here a year.
19:11.646 --> 19:13.771
You know, Kate…
19:15.771 --> 19:19.480
I've come to consider you almost as a…
19:20.355 --> 19:21.563
as a daughter.
19:24.730 --> 19:28.313
Hm. I think
my mother in heaven would be glad.
19:29.105 --> 19:29.938
Hm.
19:32.563 --> 19:34.230
- Kate…
- Yes?
19:36.438 --> 19:38.771
I don't like you working here.
19:41.521 --> 19:44.355
- Whatever do you mean?
- I'm not ashamed.
19:45.188 --> 19:46.771
I run a nice house.
19:46.855 --> 19:50.688
If I didn't, maybe somebody else
would run a bad house.
19:51.188 --> 19:52.188
I'm not ashamed.
19:52.271 --> 19:53.896
Well, why should you be?
19:55.355 --> 19:58.021
I don't like to think
of my daughter working.
20:00.105 --> 20:03.355
Don't be silly. I have to work.
I have to earn my own way.
20:03.855 --> 20:08.313
You could manage the house
and not go upstairs.
20:09.896 --> 20:13.480
It would be good to have a…
a second-in-command.
20:13.563 --> 20:15.521
I'm not always well, you know.
20:16.021 --> 20:17.188
I know you're not.
20:18.355 --> 20:19.271
Poor darling.
20:21.271 --> 20:23.730
I'd pay you whatever you're making now.
20:24.896 --> 20:26.313
You'd be worth it.
20:28.188 --> 20:29.146
Hm?
20:29.230 --> 20:31.313
I wish I could do what you want,
20:32.188 --> 20:34.646
but you need your little reserve,
and I need money.
20:34.730 --> 20:36.730
I've told you I could pay you.
20:36.813 --> 20:39.271
Suppose something should happen to you.
What happens then?
20:39.771 --> 20:42.188
I'd be without clients, without security.
20:42.271 --> 20:44.646
Where are you going?
20:44.730 --> 20:47.355
To prepare myself for the evening.
I have five regulars tonight.
20:47.438 --> 20:50.730
- Kate, I don't want you working.
- But I have to, Mother.
20:54.021 --> 20:54.855
Oh.
20:55.855 --> 20:58.438
Oh, poor darling.
21:00.396 --> 21:02.021
Why don't you rest this evening?
21:02.105 --> 21:04.771
You've been working so hard.
Your nerves have frayed.
21:04.855 --> 21:07.646
- I can look after the others.
- Stay with me.
21:09.730 --> 21:12.230
Our guests will be waiting.
21:12.980 --> 21:14.896
Can't you tell them you're sick?
21:14.980 --> 21:17.438
I wish I could, but I can't.
21:18.355 --> 21:19.980
I must think of my future.
21:27.688 --> 21:28.646
Kate…
21:30.396 --> 21:32.896
I think I will stay in my room tonight.
21:35.605 --> 21:39.563
After you close up, tap on my door.
21:39.646 --> 21:40.771
I have a…
21:41.771 --> 21:43.438
I have a little surprise for you.
21:44.813 --> 21:46.105
What kind of a surprise?
21:46.188 --> 21:48.105
- A secret surprise.
- Mmm.
21:48.980 --> 21:51.938
- Tell the cook to come see me.
- Sounds like a cake surprise.
21:52.021 --> 21:54.480
Go on. Shoo.
22:30.938 --> 22:32.438
No one's coming in.
22:33.563 --> 22:35.646
Let's ask Faye if we can close up.
22:36.146 --> 22:38.646
No, leave Faye alone.
She isn't feeling very well.
22:39.396 --> 22:41.771
You girls go to bed. I'll clear up.
22:46.188 --> 22:47.646
- Good night.
- Night.
22:51.896 --> 22:53.396
What's the matter with Faye?
22:53.480 --> 22:55.188
I'm worried to death about her.
22:55.271 --> 22:57.271
Why? She looks all right to me.
22:57.896 --> 23:00.230
Just this afternoon,
when I was setting her hair, she…
23:01.188 --> 23:03.563
- No, I shouldn't say.
- What? What is it?
23:04.563 --> 23:06.896
In the middle of a sentence,
she fainted dead away.
23:06.980 --> 23:08.688
No. Why?
23:08.771 --> 23:09.980
Her indigestion, she says.
23:10.063 --> 23:12.605
I thought she was poorly.
I noticed she had a kind of bright flush.
23:12.688 --> 23:14.521
- Right.
- Should we call Dr. Wilde?
23:14.605 --> 23:15.605
No, no.
23:16.646 --> 23:20.813
And please don't say anything to Faye.
She'd hate for you to concern yourselves.
23:23.063 --> 23:24.438
What a dear she is.
23:50.896 --> 23:51.938
Come in!
23:55.355 --> 23:57.021
Ta-da!
23:57.105 --> 23:58.563
Surprise!
23:58.646 --> 24:00.938
What in the world?
24:01.480 --> 24:04.021
- It looks like a party.
- It is.
24:04.521 --> 24:06.730
A party for my dear daughter.
24:08.605 --> 24:10.021
I brought you a present.
24:10.105 --> 24:13.021
Oh. Why? You shouldn't have.
24:15.980 --> 24:16.813
Oh.
24:17.980 --> 24:19.480
Oh, you crazy child.
24:19.563 --> 24:22.980
No, it's… it's too much. I can't take it.
24:24.188 --> 24:26.563
- It was my mother's watch.
- Oh…
24:27.146 --> 24:29.063
And I want my new mother to have it.
24:32.355 --> 24:34.146
I have a gift for you too.
24:35.980 --> 24:37.480
Go over to the desk.
24:41.105 --> 24:41.938
Mm-hmm.
24:48.105 --> 24:50.021
The little mahogany box.
24:51.063 --> 24:51.896
Open it.
24:55.646 --> 24:57.563
Go on. Read it.
25:13.355 --> 25:14.355
"All my worldly goods."
25:14.438 --> 25:21.146
All my worldly goods,
without exception, to Kate Albey.
25:21.938 --> 25:24.646
Because I regard her as my daughter.
25:28.105 --> 25:31.646
I know a will is a funny sort of present.
25:32.146 --> 25:36.063
Now that you're my real daughter,
I can tell you.
25:38.146 --> 25:39.813
I have assets,
25:39.896 --> 25:42.271
we have assets,
25:43.271 --> 25:47.188
in excess of $60,000.
25:50.146 --> 25:53.313
I sold the place in Sacramento
for a good price.
25:56.646 --> 26:00.021
You never have to worry
about your future ever again.
26:06.438 --> 26:08.313
I'm afraid it will not stand.
26:08.938 --> 26:10.813
Well, what do you mean?
26:11.563 --> 26:15.730
It's real enough.
I had Alex witness it this afternoon.
26:15.813 --> 26:18.271
If, God forbid,
anything were to happen to you,
26:18.355 --> 26:20.396
your next of kin could break this.
26:20.480 --> 26:21.563
Oh…
26:21.646 --> 26:24.230
They'd declare me illegitimate,
and then where would that leave me?
26:24.313 --> 26:26.938
My girl, I have no kin.
26:27.896 --> 26:29.896
And if I did, who would know?
26:30.480 --> 26:33.146
Do you think
you're the only one with secrets?
26:34.063 --> 26:37.313
You think I use the name I was born with?
26:38.688 --> 26:42.730
Kate, it's a party. Don't be sad.
26:43.313 --> 26:44.896
I'm not sad. I don't…
26:47.063 --> 26:49.396
I don't think I remember
ever feeling so happy.
26:50.105 --> 26:52.396
Oh. Oh, my girl.
26:53.188 --> 26:55.605
My darling.
26:56.105 --> 26:58.063
You've made me happy too.
27:00.563 --> 27:02.646
Now I don't feel alone.
27:05.271 --> 27:06.688
Let's have a toast.
27:09.105 --> 27:10.813
Do we have to have wine, Mother?
27:10.896 --> 27:15.521
Why not? I like to put a little load on.
It lets the poison out.
27:15.605 --> 27:17.396
Liquor isn't good for me.
27:17.480 --> 27:21.438
You're not gonna let an old woman
get silly all by herself, are you?
27:21.980 --> 27:26.105
We must toast to our little family.
27:28.730 --> 27:29.605
To you.
27:31.396 --> 27:32.896
My daughter.
27:43.146 --> 27:44.980
That's a good girl.
27:45.688 --> 27:47.480
Down the old rathole.
27:47.563 --> 27:51.730
After two or three,
all the bad things just… …go away.
27:51.813 --> 27:54.021
- Now it's your turn, Mother.
- Mmm.
28:00.355 --> 28:01.771
Ooh.
28:01.855 --> 28:03.313
When I was your age…
28:07.855 --> 28:11.605
…I could tell you stories
you wouldn't believe.
28:14.313 --> 28:16.646
I could tell you stories
nobody would believe.
28:18.105 --> 28:19.521
Don't be silly.
28:21.021 --> 28:22.771
You're a child.
28:25.980 --> 28:27.521
You look strange.
28:28.980 --> 28:29.813
Mm.
28:30.855 --> 28:32.146
Maybe it's the light.
28:33.313 --> 28:34.521
You look…
28:36.563 --> 28:37.438
different.
28:38.938 --> 28:40.021
I am different.
28:41.563 --> 28:44.688
Mm. Call me Mother, dear.
28:47.313 --> 28:48.688
Mother dear.
28:53.230 --> 28:54.896
Oh, Kate.
29:00.896 --> 29:04.688
We're going to have such a good life.
29:07.105 --> 29:08.813
We could get a ship.
29:10.605 --> 29:13.021
Buy dresses in Paris.
29:15.105 --> 29:18.855
I've always wanted to go to Europe.
Wouldn't that be fun?
29:19.730 --> 29:20.730
Not now.
29:21.521 --> 29:22.688
No?
29:23.646 --> 29:25.480
Why not? I have plenty of money.
29:25.563 --> 29:27.521
We'll have plenty more.
29:27.605 --> 29:29.105
Well, why wait?
29:29.605 --> 29:34.813
I could get $10,000
for this place tomorrow.
29:36.813 --> 29:38.521
- No.
- "No."
29:40.688 --> 29:41.688
It's my house.
29:43.313 --> 29:44.355
It's our house.
29:46.563 --> 29:50.480
What's the matter with you, Kate?
I don't like your tone.
30:01.355 --> 30:02.438
Mmm.
30:03.605 --> 30:04.813
Mmm…
30:05.813 --> 30:07.105
Mmm…
30:07.730 --> 30:08.938
Mother dear.
30:09.021 --> 30:10.021
Mm-hmm.
30:15.146 --> 30:17.771
Mmm… Mmm…
30:27.355 --> 30:30.063
I'll show you how to run
a real whorehouse, Mother.
30:31.855 --> 30:37.813
We'll fix the gray slugs that come here
and dump their putrid little loads.
30:38.438 --> 30:40.480
We'll give them pleasure, Mother dear.
30:40.980 --> 30:42.980
- You're drunk!
- Ah, ah, ah.
30:43.063 --> 30:44.480
I didn't want to drink.
30:45.230 --> 30:46.813
You made me drink.
30:47.521 --> 30:49.646
You nasty little worm.
30:52.313 --> 30:57.396
Do you think my regulars pay me
a mean little dollar in quarters?
30:57.480 --> 30:58.313
No.
30:59.146 --> 31:02.771
They pay me $10,
and the price keeps going up all the time.
31:02.855 --> 31:06.021
They can't go to anybody else.
They don't want anybody else.
31:06.105 --> 31:07.355
No one else will do.
31:07.438 --> 31:09.980
Don't talk like that!
You're not like that!
31:10.063 --> 31:12.563
That's the way
this whole house is going to be.
31:12.646 --> 31:16.563
We're gonna charge them $20,
and we'll make the bastards bathe first.
31:19.188 --> 31:23.313
Take down the trousers of my regulars
and look at the heel marks in their groin.
31:23.813 --> 31:27.563
Tiny little cuts made from
the sweetest set of razors
31:27.646 --> 31:30.980
so sharp that they hardly feel them
until they're bleeding in their pants.
31:31.063 --> 31:32.480
Shh.
31:33.688 --> 31:34.646
Shh.
31:35.855 --> 31:37.230
Mother dear.
31:40.230 --> 31:41.105
Here.
31:44.896 --> 31:48.063
Just two or three.
All the bad things go away.
31:52.896 --> 31:54.980
It won't hurt if you don't fight it.
32:48.646 --> 32:51.438
It was only a dream. It's only a dream.
33:21.063 --> 33:23.771
You're having a nightmare.
33:25.313 --> 33:26.480
Just a bad dream.
33:46.980 --> 33:48.438
It's just a bad dream.
33:49.688 --> 33:50.771
Just a bad dream.
33:53.355 --> 33:55.355
Shh.
34:03.730 --> 34:05.355
Wake from your dream, Mother.
34:17.605 --> 34:18.438
Faye!
34:19.563 --> 34:20.480
Faye?
34:25.063 --> 34:26.896
- What is it?
- Faye.
34:26.980 --> 34:28.855
- The dream! The dream!
- What?
34:28.938 --> 34:31.146
The dream!
34:31.230 --> 34:33.646
Shh.
34:37.730 --> 34:39.105
Poor, poor darling.
34:49.563 --> 34:52.105
- Oh…
- I'll never have another drink.
34:53.813 --> 34:55.021
I'll do the rest.
34:55.938 --> 34:57.813
You girls go
and ready yourself for the evening.
34:57.896 --> 34:58.980
We have customers.
35:02.855 --> 35:05.230
Close your eyes, Mother. Sleep.
35:05.313 --> 35:06.271
No.
35:07.105 --> 35:08.480
I'm afraid to.
35:10.938 --> 35:12.105
The dreams.
35:15.605 --> 35:16.646
Were they so bad?
35:17.271 --> 35:18.396
They weren't…
35:20.605 --> 35:22.605
…like my dreams.
35:25.438 --> 35:26.355
Hmm.
35:27.021 --> 35:29.396
Let me find you
a little paregoric to relax you.
35:29.480 --> 35:30.438
Okay.
35:36.938 --> 35:39.188
Perhaps I do need a rest.
35:42.980 --> 35:45.188
I've always wanted to go to Europe.
35:46.855 --> 35:49.063
Would you like to come with me?
35:51.521 --> 35:53.355
You want me to come with you to Europe?
35:55.855 --> 35:58.938
- I've always dreamed of traveling abroad.
- Oh.
35:59.771 --> 36:00.730
When can we go?
36:01.688 --> 36:03.980
We'll plan a trip for next summer.
36:08.105 --> 36:09.646
- Kate.
- Hm?
36:11.646 --> 36:15.480
You won't turn any more tricks, will you?
Like we talked about.
36:17.063 --> 36:18.105
Of course not.
36:22.771 --> 36:24.105
Mm.
36:26.313 --> 36:27.855
Now go to sleep, Mother.
36:27.938 --> 36:28.771
Mm.
36:29.771 --> 36:31.813
- I'll keep the dreams away.
- Mm.
36:49.146 --> 36:51.271
Why did you tell
about witnessing the will?
36:52.646 --> 36:54.813
What? I said nothing.
36:55.730 --> 36:57.271
Then how does anyone know?
36:57.938 --> 37:00.730
Show some respect and keep a tighter ship.
37:04.313 --> 37:08.230
Acting like she owns the place.
And I've been here longer than her.
37:08.730 --> 37:09.771
We all have.
37:10.563 --> 37:13.438
You really think she'll take over
the house after Faye's gone?
37:13.521 --> 37:15.438
Sooner than that, I reckon.
37:16.146 --> 37:16.980
Girls.
37:19.896 --> 37:20.896
It's dinnertime.
37:21.605 --> 37:23.730
…they don't want to talk to her.
37:26.980 --> 37:27.896
What is it?
37:29.688 --> 37:30.938
What's the matter?
37:39.438 --> 37:42.230
I'm afraid Alex let it out about the will.
37:44.146 --> 37:47.188
- I'm sorry, Faye. I would have never told.
- Is that all?
37:47.855 --> 37:49.855
It's really very simple.
37:50.605 --> 37:52.480
I am all alone in the world.
37:53.230 --> 37:55.646
And Kate takes such good care of me.
37:56.855 --> 37:59.396
I have decided to take her as my daughter.
37:59.480 --> 38:01.480
Hm?
38:01.563 --> 38:04.605
I hope you will all
embrace her in her new role.
38:04.688 --> 38:05.730
Hm.
38:07.730 --> 38:09.021
Congratulations, Kate.
38:09.105 --> 38:11.855
Nothing has changed, really.
It's just a piece of paper.
38:11.938 --> 38:13.605
Well, one thing has changed.
38:14.480 --> 38:15.980
You're not going to work anymore.
38:18.938 --> 38:23.355
Yes, I'll just be managing
the house from now on,
38:24.438 --> 38:27.313
which means that someone
has to take on my regulars.
38:29.813 --> 38:30.813
Ethel?
38:33.313 --> 38:34.813
Do you think you could manage?
38:39.855 --> 38:40.855
Sure, I can.
38:40.938 --> 38:41.896
Great.
38:42.396 --> 38:45.188
I'll make the necessary arrangements
this evening, and we can--
38:48.605 --> 38:50.355
Kate?
38:50.438 --> 38:51.896
- Kate?
- What's wrong? She--
38:53.771 --> 38:55.230
Kate!
38:55.313 --> 38:56.188
I'll fetch the doctor!
38:56.271 --> 38:57.188
Is she…?
39:01.563 --> 39:03.188
What is it, Dr. Wilde?
39:03.271 --> 39:06.855
It's her kidneys.
I suspect they need flushing out.
39:07.688 --> 39:09.396
I'll prescribe some pills.
39:09.896 --> 39:12.646
And she needs… she needs rest.
39:12.730 --> 39:14.855
She has been working all hours.
39:16.855 --> 39:19.813
What have I always told you?
This kind of life breaks the body.
39:24.563 --> 39:25.855
Excuse me.
39:25.938 --> 39:27.271
I'm sorry, Mother.
39:28.646 --> 39:30.605
What would I do without you?
39:49.230 --> 39:51.063
Is there any more porridge left?
39:51.896 --> 39:55.563
- Shouldn't you be in bed?
- Dr. Wilde's medicine is helping.
39:56.563 --> 39:58.688
Oh, I think I left my pills in my bedroom.
39:58.771 --> 39:59.688
Sit down.
40:01.063 --> 40:01.896
Here.
40:02.938 --> 40:04.605
- Thank you.
- I'll fetch them for you.
40:08.938 --> 40:11.313
Oh, you finished the garlic. Thank you.
40:12.271 --> 40:13.938
Got the onions in the cellar too.
40:14.021 --> 40:14.855
Oh.
40:17.563 --> 40:20.938
I wish we could do that with
all our fruit and vegetables in winter.
40:21.021 --> 40:23.021
The cost is just so much greater.
40:23.813 --> 40:27.355
And the grocer charges twice
what he should for canned goods.
40:27.438 --> 40:28.271
Mm.
40:32.521 --> 40:33.396
Alex.
40:33.480 --> 40:34.646
You're brilliant.
40:36.230 --> 40:38.730
Our biggest expense is
fruit and vegetables in the winter,
40:38.813 --> 40:41.855
but right now,
you can buy them for two bits a lug.
40:42.646 --> 40:44.188
But it's so much work.
40:44.271 --> 40:46.480
Many hands. We'll be done in no time.
40:47.021 --> 40:50.855
Berries, tomatoes, beans,
all kinds of pickles.
40:51.355 --> 40:52.230
What else?
40:52.980 --> 40:55.105
I have a farmer promising apricots.
40:55.188 --> 40:56.980
And it was all Alex's idea.
40:57.063 --> 40:58.313
Bravo, Alex.
41:02.021 --> 41:02.938
Kate.
41:03.021 --> 41:05.355
- It'll pass.
- Have you taken your pills?
41:05.438 --> 41:06.271
I've run out.
41:06.771 --> 41:08.688
I'll have May go and fetch Dr. Wilde.
41:08.771 --> 41:11.146
No, no, no, no. I'll, um…
41:12.021 --> 41:14.355
I'll go to his office
when I find a moment.
41:15.188 --> 41:17.105
Tomorrow. First thing.
42:54.896 --> 42:56.688
Morning, Doc. You look beat.
42:56.771 --> 42:59.480
Two deaths… …and a breech birth.
43:24.396 --> 43:25.230
Good morning.
43:26.230 --> 43:28.021
Uh, how did you get in here?
43:28.105 --> 43:29.438
Wasn't the door locked?
43:29.521 --> 43:31.188
It opened when I turned the knob.
43:31.771 --> 43:35.563
Huh. My office hours aren't until ten.
43:35.646 --> 43:40.230
I'm sorry. I… I just needed more pills.
Faye couldn't spare me later.
43:40.980 --> 43:43.813
Right, the… the girl with the kidneys.
43:44.646 --> 43:45.563
Any better?
43:46.271 --> 43:48.521
Yes, the… the pills help a little.
43:50.396 --> 43:54.313
Did I leave the dispensary door
unlocked too?
43:57.938 --> 43:59.230
What's a dispensary?
44:01.855 --> 44:03.480
Do yourself a favor.
44:04.271 --> 44:06.521
Never get old.
44:14.355 --> 44:17.813
This here brand-new rag called
"The Easy Winners."
44:28.646 --> 44:29.563
Arsenic.
44:33.230 --> 44:34.896
Causes stomach distress.
44:43.896 --> 44:44.730
Lead.
44:48.730 --> 44:49.855
Causes headache.
44:50.355 --> 44:51.396
Ah…
44:56.105 --> 44:57.230
Digoxin.
45:00.146 --> 45:01.230
Causes nausea.
45:01.855 --> 45:03.938
- And here's our lovely Grace.
- Hi.
45:06.063 --> 45:07.021
What is that?
45:09.021 --> 45:11.771
Can't a lady enjoy herself?
45:13.230 --> 45:14.146
Come with me.
45:25.188 --> 45:26.146
Ugh…
45:27.063 --> 45:28.730
It's only indigestion.
45:29.271 --> 45:31.021
It can't be.
45:32.063 --> 45:35.105
- What are your symptoms?
- My stomach.
45:36.105 --> 45:37.146
My head.
45:38.771 --> 45:41.146
Last night, you were crying out in pain.
45:41.646 --> 45:42.605
I thought
45:44.021 --> 45:45.646
my heart…
45:48.355 --> 45:49.646
What about your heart?
45:51.105 --> 45:52.938
Mm…
45:55.438 --> 45:56.563
I'm getting Dr. Wilde.
45:56.646 --> 45:57.605
No.
45:59.063 --> 46:01.146
He'll only say what he always does.
46:02.230 --> 46:03.771
I shouldn't live this way.
46:03.855 --> 46:06.480
I shouldn't eat so much.
46:11.980 --> 46:14.105
We'll have invalid food for supper.
46:15.063 --> 46:18.605
- Chicken soup and salad.
- It's Alex's night off.
46:18.688 --> 46:21.980
I know my way around a kitchen.
I'll bring up a tray.
46:28.480 --> 46:30.813
I'd like to have dinner downstairs.
46:30.896 --> 46:32.563
No, you should rest.
46:34.230 --> 46:36.896
The more you wait on me, the worse I feel.
46:58.313 --> 47:00.396
My mother died of heart trouble.
47:06.188 --> 47:08.771
I don't know what I'd do
if anything were to happen to you.
47:15.438 --> 47:18.188
I suppose one more day
in bed couldn't hurt.
47:26.188 --> 47:27.021
Mm.
47:32.855 --> 47:36.563
Jenny's girls talk about nothin'
but how nice it is over at Faye's.
47:36.646 --> 47:38.355
Trixie asked if we had any room.
47:38.438 --> 47:40.438
But she's been with Jenny forever.
47:41.563 --> 47:44.563
- Do you want a sandwich, Kate?
- We're gonna have a picnic out back.
47:44.646 --> 47:46.396
Ethel's gonna read our fortunes.
47:46.480 --> 47:48.563
Oh, no, I'm having dinner
with Faye tonight.
47:48.646 --> 47:49.480
How is she?
48:17.646 --> 48:20.230
Uh, hold on. I'll be right back.
48:21.980 --> 48:24.021
…for old men and children!
48:25.105 --> 48:28.271
Do you mind if we have a nip
of cherry cordial? It is our night off.
48:28.355 --> 48:29.938
You girls enjoy yourself.
49:33.938 --> 49:34.813
Oh God.
49:39.021 --> 49:39.855
Kate?
49:40.771 --> 49:42.146
Oh, Kate.
49:42.771 --> 49:45.355
Oh my God. Ethel?
49:45.438 --> 49:47.146
Ethel! Girls!
49:51.896 --> 49:53.188
What's going on?
49:59.396 --> 50:01.688
She's been working herself to death.
50:03.980 --> 50:05.896
What did they eat? Do any of you know?
50:05.980 --> 50:08.563
We all had sandwiches.
It's our cook's night off.
50:08.646 --> 50:10.188
They didn't have sandwiches.
50:14.688 --> 50:17.146
Are these home-canned?
50:17.646 --> 50:20.480
- Sure. We did them right here.
- Did any of you have them?
50:20.563 --> 50:23.605
No. Sundays, Kate and Miss Faye
have their own supper.
50:23.688 --> 50:26.105
- Go out and break every jar.
- What? What's wrong with them?
50:26.188 --> 50:28.396
Botulism. Goddamn string beans.
50:28.980 --> 50:31.105
And bring two bowls and some clean water.
50:31.771 --> 50:33.230
Did he say botulism?
50:33.313 --> 50:36.021
Open your mouth.
50:36.105 --> 50:38.105
Bite on that. Now swallow.
50:39.230 --> 50:42.521
That's it. Now swallow. Swallow.
50:53.230 --> 50:54.396
Miss Albey?
51:07.730 --> 51:11.230
I, uh… I gave her morphine.
51:11.313 --> 51:14.271
It should take care of the pain, at least.
51:15.938 --> 51:17.646
Isn't there anything you can do?
51:18.146 --> 51:20.605
She's all torn up inside.
51:21.188 --> 51:23.813
Goddamn botulism is worse
than a rattlesnake.
51:24.396 --> 51:26.396
But I'm feeling better. Why isn't she?
51:26.480 --> 51:30.605
We don't know much about
botulism, but damn few ever get over it.
51:30.688 --> 51:33.063
You should count yourself fortunate.
51:35.730 --> 51:36.730
It, um…
51:38.105 --> 51:41.813
It would be best to prepare yourself.
51:51.730 --> 51:53.480
When was the last time Kate slept?
51:54.188 --> 51:56.896
If Faye dies, the shock might kill her.
51:57.396 --> 52:00.480
Think she's just as likely
to blow her brains out.
52:15.105 --> 52:16.480
Did I ever tell you,
52:17.313 --> 52:18.938
when I was a little girl,
52:19.771 --> 52:23.105
I wanted to have curly hair
more than anything in the world?
52:24.771 --> 52:28.271
So after my bath,
my mother would plait my wet hair.
52:29.396 --> 52:33.396
When I woke, I would take my braids out
and have the softest of waves.
52:37.146 --> 52:39.438
My mother used to call it angel hair.
52:43.105 --> 52:44.563
Isn't that beautiful?
52:48.355 --> 52:50.980
Tomorrow, you will have angel hair, Faye.
53:09.980 --> 53:11.771
Can you open for me?
53:18.771 --> 53:19.855
There we go.
53:24.146 --> 53:25.188
Beautiful.
53:31.355 --> 53:32.438
Shh.
54:38.563 --> 54:40.105
Oh!
54:47.396 --> 54:48.938
Oh, Faye!
55:22.855 --> 55:25.646
The new wing should extend to about here…
55:28.355 --> 55:30.980
with a long corridor
leading all the way from the kitchen.
55:32.813 --> 55:34.563
How many rooms do you think you can fit?
55:35.896 --> 55:38.563
They can be small.
The new girls won't require much.
55:39.938 --> 55:41.063
Six or more?
55:43.355 --> 55:45.438
That'll do for now.
55:45.521 --> 55:49.480
Should we paint the exterior yellow
to match the rest of the house?
55:53.480 --> 55:54.605
Paint it black.
55:56.396 --> 55:57.563
Paint it all black.
56:04.146 --> 56:09.063
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
56:10.105 --> 56:14.938
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
56:16.105 --> 56:21.063
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
56:22.271 --> 56:27.188
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
56:28.355 --> 56:33.063
I see a line of cars
And they're all painted black
56:34.355 --> 56:39.063
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back
56:40.313 --> 56:45.021
I've seen people turn their heads
And quickly look away
56:46.355 --> 56:50.980
Like a newborn baby
It just happens every day
56:52.438 --> 56:57.188
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
56:58.521 --> 57:03.188
I see my red door
I must have it painted black
57:04.480 --> 57:09.021
Maybe then I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts
57:10.313 --> 57:15.105
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world is black
57:16.646 --> 57:21.438
No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue
57:22.938 --> 57:27.813
I could not foresee this thing
Happening to you
57:29.146 --> 57:33.813
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
57:35.230 --> 57:40.063
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes
57:41.230 --> 57:45.980
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
57:47.313 --> 57:52.105
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
57:53.313 --> 57:58.521
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
