00:00:19.521 --> 00:00:21.271 align:center
I'm still louder.

00:00:29.813 --> 00:00:30.730 align:center
Boys.

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:32.855 align:center
Wait for me.

00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:36.063 align:center
Neither of you have the basket.

00:00:39.730 --> 00:00:42.730 align:center
Cal? Okay. Your brother's turn.

00:01:02.855 --> 00:01:06.688 align:center
"Some of the men who had been to…"
I lost my spot.

00:01:09.146 --> 00:01:10.813 align:center
You probably stopped right there.

00:01:12.771 --> 00:01:14.188 align:center
"The more we're told…"

00:01:20.688 --> 00:01:22.438 align:center
- Can we still eat them?
- Yeah.

00:01:50.813 --> 00:01:52.771 align:center
What's the Chinese word for rice?

00:01:52.855 --> 00:01:55.813 align:center
I told you your father doesn't want me
teaching you Cantonese anymore.

00:01:56.563 --> 00:01:58.396 align:center
- He wouldn't have to know.
- Cal.

00:01:59.146 --> 00:02:00.188 align:center
It's Aron's turn.

00:02:08.771 --> 00:02:11.605 align:center
- Why do we rinse the rice?
- So that it isn't gummy.

00:02:11.688 --> 00:02:12.605 align:center
Mm-hmm.

00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:15.313 align:center
Who taught you to cook?

00:02:16.938 --> 00:02:18.271 align:center
The man who raised me.

00:02:18.896 --> 00:02:20.855 align:center
He was a cook, like me.

00:02:21.813 --> 00:02:23.313 align:center
And what about your mother?

00:02:24.730 --> 00:02:26.730 align:center
My mother died when I was very young.

00:02:27.230 --> 00:02:28.063 align:center
Like yours.

00:02:43.855 --> 00:02:45.146 align:center
Are they lost?

00:02:48.313 --> 00:02:52.146 align:center
Well, the sky just opened up,
and there we were with the top down.

00:02:53.188 --> 00:02:56.063 align:center
I can't tell you how pleased
we were to find your ranch.

00:02:58.396 --> 00:03:00.105 align:center
Oh, come say how do you do, boys.

00:03:00.188 --> 00:03:04.355 align:center
I am Mr. Bacon, and this is Mrs. Bacon.

00:03:04.438 --> 00:03:08.188 align:center
My daughter's name is Abra,
and we live in Salinas.

00:03:08.813 --> 00:03:10.521 align:center
Children, why don't you go play?

00:03:10.605 --> 00:03:11.771 align:center
Go on now, dear.

00:03:12.896 --> 00:03:14.438 align:center
Abra, mind your dress.

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:19.355 align:center
Aron, hurry up.
Let's go. Come on. Hurry up.

00:03:25.063 --> 00:03:28.230 align:center
Am I to understand
that you've never planted your land?

00:03:28.313 --> 00:03:30.605 align:center
Well, I guess I'm a lazy man.

00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:35.688 align:center
And my father didn't help when he left me
enough to go on without working.

00:03:35.771 --> 00:03:38.105 align:center
Well, a rich man
who doesn't work isn't lazy.

00:03:38.188 --> 00:03:39.646 align:center
He's simply using his head.

00:03:41.563 --> 00:03:44.271 align:center
- Hm.
- Are you all alone out here?

00:03:44.355 --> 00:03:46.646 align:center
Who takes care of the dear boys?

00:03:47.230 --> 00:03:51.480 align:center
Lee is their nursemaid and their tutor.

00:03:52.271 --> 00:03:56.855 align:center
A Chinaman's no substitute
for a mother or proper schooling.

00:03:57.605 --> 00:03:58.980 align:center
Can he… can he read?

00:03:59.063 --> 00:04:01.855 align:center
Lee try he best, missus.

00:04:02.355 --> 00:04:05.563 align:center
Very hard language, English.

00:04:09.105 --> 00:04:13.230 align:center
Why not move into Salinas so your sons
could attend our good public school?

00:04:13.730 --> 00:04:14.980 align:center
If you don't live off your land,

00:04:15.063 --> 00:04:17.563 align:center
there's no reason
why you shouldn't profit off it.

00:04:18.063 --> 00:04:21.188 align:center
My firm would be happy
to secure a reliable tenant for you.

00:04:21.271 --> 00:04:23.605 align:center
I could arrange things myself.

00:04:27.271 --> 00:04:30.771 align:center
Aron, let's play like we're grown
and this is our house.

00:04:30.855 --> 00:04:33.646 align:center
You'll be my husband,
and I'll be your wife.

00:04:35.021 --> 00:04:36.980 align:center
Maybe we could play something else?

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:38.646 align:center
Like what?

00:04:39.938 --> 00:04:41.688 align:center
We could pretend you're my mother.

00:04:48.521 --> 00:04:52.105 align:center
Come here, my good little baby.
Put your head on Mother's lap.

00:05:00.396 --> 00:05:01.896 align:center
Do you wish you had a mother?

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.146 align:center
Everyone wants a mother.

00:05:05.105 --> 00:05:06.646 align:center
Where is yours buried?

00:05:07.355 --> 00:05:08.813 align:center
Salinas, I guess.

00:05:11.230 --> 00:05:14.896 align:center
You should find out where
so you can put flowers on her grave.

00:05:16.146 --> 00:05:17.105 align:center
I know a secret.

00:05:17.605 --> 00:05:18.438 align:center
What is it?

00:05:19.105 --> 00:05:20.188 align:center
Aron will tell.

00:05:20.938 --> 00:05:22.230 align:center
He always tells.

00:05:22.313 --> 00:05:24.105 align:center
I wouldn't if you said not to.

00:05:26.271 --> 00:05:28.605 align:center
I heard some men saying
our mother isn't dead at all,

00:05:28.688 --> 00:05:29.938 align:center
that she only ran away.

00:05:31.605 --> 00:05:32.563 align:center
Who said?

00:05:32.646 --> 00:05:34.980 align:center
Some men in the post office at King City.

00:05:36.146 --> 00:05:37.605 align:center
They thought I couldn't hear.

00:05:38.313 --> 00:05:40.563 align:center
When I'm big, I'm gonna find
our mother and bring her back.

00:05:40.646 --> 00:05:42.480 align:center
Our mother's dead. Father said so.

00:05:42.563 --> 00:05:43.813 align:center
Maybe he told a lie.

00:05:43.896 --> 00:05:46.771 align:center
You're making this up!
What would our mother run away for?

00:05:46.855 --> 00:05:48.438 align:center
Maybe she didn't like us.

00:06:22.896 --> 00:06:23.771 align:center
Aron!

00:06:25.313 --> 00:06:26.146 align:center
Aron!

00:06:27.521 --> 00:06:28.646 align:center
Are they gone?

00:06:44.188 --> 00:06:45.605 align:center
I didn't much like them.

00:06:46.271 --> 00:06:47.105 align:center
Did you?

00:06:49.521 --> 00:06:52.063 align:center
You know that star Lee gave me to look at?

00:06:53.355 --> 00:06:54.355 align:center
He said

00:06:55.730 --> 00:06:57.521 align:center
it was our mother.

00:06:58.646 --> 00:07:02.021 align:center
And she would love us
as long as that light was there.

00:07:05.230 --> 00:07:07.188 align:center
Do you think Lee is a liar?

00:07:08.855 --> 00:07:10.646 align:center
I was only joking, Aron.

00:07:12.355 --> 00:07:14.063 align:center
Honest, it was only a joke.

00:07:52.313 --> 00:07:53.146 align:center
Samuel.

00:07:53.646 --> 00:07:54.480 align:center
Adam.

00:07:55.063 --> 00:07:55.896 align:center
Lee.

00:07:59.813 --> 00:08:01.938 align:center
It's a beautiful house still.

00:08:02.438 --> 00:08:05.896 align:center
Seems a shame to leave it half done.

00:08:08.646 --> 00:08:10.480 align:center
It's mine to do what I like.

00:08:13.105 --> 00:08:18.438 align:center
All these years sitting on your pile,
clinging to what you lost.

00:08:20.855 --> 00:08:22.146 align:center
Do you take pride

00:08:22.771 --> 00:08:23.730 align:center
in your hurt?

00:08:24.230 --> 00:08:27.063 align:center
Does it make you feel large and tragic?

00:08:27.146 --> 00:08:28.896 align:center
I didn't ask for a lecture, Samuel.

00:08:30.271 --> 00:08:31.105 align:center
Oh.

00:08:36.730 --> 00:08:41.396 align:center
Lee says you hardly speak to your sons.

00:08:43.563 --> 00:08:45.730 align:center
Your wife left them motherless.

00:08:45.813 --> 00:08:48.021 align:center
Don't leave them without a father.

00:08:48.521 --> 00:08:49.605 align:center
I haven't.

00:08:50.355 --> 00:08:54.188 align:center
Just because you haven't left
doesn't mean you're here, Adam.

00:09:03.730 --> 00:09:07.646 align:center
Did you ever hear a rumor
that Cathy was in Salinas?

00:09:07.730 --> 00:09:10.605 align:center
Oh, let it go, man,

00:09:10.688 --> 00:09:13.563 align:center
for the sake of the boys.

00:09:16.021 --> 00:09:19.813 align:center
Can I tell you what you do
so you won't think you invented it?

00:09:20.313 --> 00:09:21.896 align:center
When you go to bed at night,

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:27.313 align:center
she stands in the doorway,
her nightgown sheer in the light.

00:09:27.396 --> 00:09:31.396 align:center
And she comes over to your bed,
and you smell her skin,

00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.855 align:center
and it smells like no other in the world.

00:09:33.938 --> 00:09:36.188 align:center
Stop. Stop it, goddamn you!

00:09:36.271 --> 00:09:40.063 align:center
A… a woman came to me like that.

00:09:41.271 --> 00:09:44.980 align:center
Night after month after year.

00:09:45.896 --> 00:09:49.021 align:center
And for Liza's sake,
I should have closed my heart to her,

00:09:49.105 --> 00:09:51.313 align:center
but I… I didn't.

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.355 align:center
You know, I… I sifted through my mind

00:09:55.438 --> 00:10:00.730 align:center
the way men pan the dirt
under a barren floor for gold dust.

00:10:01.938 --> 00:10:07.188 align:center
You are too young a man
to be panning for memories.

00:10:08.646 --> 00:10:11.563 align:center
You should be getting yourself new ones.

00:10:12.646 --> 00:10:15.146 align:center
Did you come all this way
to recite poetry to me?

00:10:17.146 --> 00:10:17.980 align:center
No.

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.396 align:center
No.

00:10:20.188 --> 00:10:21.146 align:center
I didn't.

00:10:22.563 --> 00:10:23.980 align:center
I, uh…

00:10:26.188 --> 00:10:27.688 align:center
I came to say goodbye.

00:10:29.563 --> 00:10:33.980 align:center
My daughter Olive has asked Liza and me
to go and stay with her in Salinas.

00:10:35.646 --> 00:10:37.813 align:center
So we're leaving our ranch.

00:10:40.605 --> 00:10:42.188 align:center
And when will you come back?

00:10:46.605 --> 00:10:47.938 align:center
I suspect we won't.

00:10:53.063 --> 00:10:54.730 align:center
Boys, why don't you get ready for bed?

00:10:54.813 --> 00:10:57.646 align:center
- Don't forget to wash behind your ears.
- Good night, Father.

00:10:58.396 --> 00:10:59.438 align:center
Mr. Hamilton.

00:10:59.521 --> 00:11:01.730 align:center
Good night, Aron.

00:11:04.438 --> 00:11:06.271 align:center
Good night, Caleb. Cal.

00:11:12.146 --> 00:11:13.355 align:center
You know, uh…

00:11:13.438 --> 00:11:16.605 align:center
They seem older than 11.

00:11:17.105 --> 00:11:19.480 align:center
With no woman around
to put a value on babies,

00:11:19.563 --> 00:11:21.938 align:center
it was never an advantage
to them to behave so.

00:11:23.938 --> 00:11:28.396 align:center
I have a parting gift for you, Sam.
Something I've been sitting on for years.

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.271 align:center
- A present?
- A story.

00:11:32.438 --> 00:11:34.563 align:center
Do you remember
the day we named the twins,

00:11:34.646 --> 00:11:36.438 align:center
you read to us from Genesis?

00:11:36.521 --> 00:11:38.021 align:center
- Yeah. Cain and Abel.
- Yes.

00:11:38.105 --> 00:11:39.063 align:center
Right.

00:11:39.146 --> 00:11:42.021 align:center
There was one place
in the scripture that bothered me,

00:11:42.105 --> 00:11:44.480 align:center
when God rebukes Cain for his anger.

00:11:44.563 --> 00:11:49.021 align:center
In the King James Bible, God tells Cain,
"Thou shalt rule over sin."

00:11:49.521 --> 00:11:50.938 align:center
He makes him a promise.

00:11:51.521 --> 00:11:54.230 align:center
But then I got my hands on
the American Standard Bible,

00:11:54.313 --> 00:11:59.146 align:center
and in that version, God says,
"Do thou rule over him."

00:11:59.855 --> 00:12:00.813 align:center
More of an order.

00:12:00.896 --> 00:12:01.896 align:center
Exactly.

00:12:02.646 --> 00:12:05.813 align:center
So I began to wonder
what the original words had been

00:12:05.896 --> 00:12:08.646 align:center
that could produce such
vastly different meanings.

00:12:10.563 --> 00:12:13.146 align:center
Wait, don't tell me you studied Hebrew.

00:12:14.105 --> 00:12:15.188 align:center
With some assistance.

00:12:15.271 --> 00:12:18.146 align:center
Adam, did you know this?

00:12:18.230 --> 00:12:19.896 align:center
He doesn't talk to me
like he talks to you.

00:12:20.605 --> 00:12:22.646 align:center
That's because you weren't listening.

00:12:24.646 --> 00:12:27.271 align:center
My friend knew
some Jewish scholars in San Francisco.

00:12:27.355 --> 00:12:29.813 align:center
They identified the original Hebrew word.

00:12:30.896 --> 00:12:31.813 align:center
<i>Timshel</i>.

00:12:32.855 --> 00:12:35.105 align:center
It means "thou mayest."

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:38.563 align:center
You <i>may </i>triumph over sin.

00:12:39.563 --> 00:12:41.480 align:center
And you think that's important?

00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:45.230 align:center
It might be
the most important word there is.

00:12:47.396 --> 00:12:48.605 align:center
It offers a choice.

00:12:49.438 --> 00:12:53.021 align:center
Our future isn't determined
by God or by our past.

00:12:53.521 --> 00:12:59.063 align:center
Even Cain, in his weakness and filth
and the murder of his brother,

00:12:59.146 --> 00:13:01.980 align:center
can still choose his course.

00:13:04.063 --> 00:13:05.646 align:center
Because <i>timshel.</i>

00:13:07.188 --> 00:13:09.021 align:center
Thou mayest.

00:13:12.813 --> 00:13:14.646 align:center
You've had this horse forever.

00:13:15.146 --> 00:13:17.021 align:center
And he was old when we first met.

00:13:17.105 --> 00:13:18.896 align:center
Aye, he's 33.

00:13:19.563 --> 00:13:21.563 align:center
I have to feed him mash with my fingers.

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.188 align:center
Sometimes he cries in his sleep.

00:13:27.105 --> 00:13:28.980 align:center
You should put him out of his misery.

00:13:32.021 --> 00:13:33.521 align:center
Would you shoot him, Adam?

00:13:34.021 --> 00:13:34.855 align:center
Why not?

00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:37.813 align:center
His lifespan is long over.

00:13:37.896 --> 00:13:41.355 align:center
So you'd shoot this horse
because death might be more comfortable.

00:13:41.896 --> 00:13:44.688 align:center
Yes, I think I would.

00:13:49.188 --> 00:13:50.021 align:center
Hey.

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.063 align:center
Do you like your life?

00:14:02.021 --> 00:14:02.980 align:center
Of course not.

00:14:04.021 --> 00:14:06.813 align:center
If I had a medicine that could cure you

00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:10.813 align:center
but also might kill you,
should I give it to you?

00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:13.688 align:center
- What medicine?
- Sam.

00:14:13.771 --> 00:14:16.396 align:center
Whatever happens, Lee,
I'll take responsibility.

00:14:21.605 --> 00:14:23.646 align:center
Do you want the medicine, Adam?

00:14:27.646 --> 00:14:28.480 align:center
Yes.

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:30.813 align:center
Cathy is in Salinas.

00:14:32.105 --> 00:14:35.271 align:center
She goes by the name of Kate Albey.

00:14:35.855 --> 00:14:39.438 align:center
She was a whore.
Now she owns the whorehouse.

00:14:39.938 --> 00:14:43.480 align:center
And the house she runs
is the most vicious and depraved

00:14:43.563 --> 00:14:45.438 align:center
in this whole end of the country.

00:14:48.438 --> 00:14:49.396 align:center
You're a liar.

00:14:51.438 --> 00:14:52.313 align:center
I'm not.

00:15:04.938 --> 00:15:06.896 align:center
Your medicine acts like a poison.

00:15:10.188 --> 00:15:11.855 align:center
Thou mayest, Lee.

00:15:13.688 --> 00:15:17.896 align:center
Out of knowledge comes choice.

00:15:19.771 --> 00:15:23.271 align:center
And to have any chance,

00:15:24.105 --> 00:15:25.188 align:center
he had to know.

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.771 align:center
I arranged to have a wreath sent

00:16:25.855 --> 00:16:28.980 align:center
and posted a card
to Mrs. Hamilton from all of us.

00:16:30.355 --> 00:16:33.563 align:center
- Will you see anyone you know there?
- Louis Lippo, perhaps.

00:16:33.646 --> 00:16:36.271 align:center
Rabbit Holman.
They were both friends of ours.

00:16:39.355 --> 00:16:40.730 align:center
Will you visit our mother?

00:16:43.188 --> 00:16:44.313 align:center
In the cemetery.

00:16:45.355 --> 00:16:46.313 align:center
In Salinas.

00:16:46.813 --> 00:16:49.313 align:center
Your mother's grave
is clear across the country.

00:16:49.396 --> 00:16:50.605 align:center
But how'd she get there?

00:16:53.105 --> 00:16:54.521 align:center
We put her on a train.

00:16:55.730 --> 00:16:57.188 align:center
It's not so unusual.

00:16:57.271 --> 00:17:01.563 align:center
Nearly every Chinese gets sent back
to China after they die.

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:12.855 align:center
<i>Be thou my vision…</i>

00:17:12.938 --> 00:17:15.771 align:center
Samuel Hamilton was a jack-of-all-trades.

00:17:17.230 --> 00:17:21.730 align:center
Inventor, philosopher, jester, confidant,

00:17:22.646 --> 00:17:23.521 align:center
friend.

00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:26.688 align:center
But above all, husband and father,

00:17:26.771 --> 00:17:29.813 align:center
because his family
meant more to him than anything.

00:17:30.313 --> 00:17:33.771 align:center
<i>Thou my best thought…</i>

00:17:33.855 --> 00:17:38.521 align:center
Sam used to say a real man
had no right to let sorrow destroy him.

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.146 align:center
Let it not destroy us now.

00:17:44.521 --> 00:17:49.730 align:center
<i>Thy presence my light</i>

00:17:59.355 --> 00:18:00.480 align:center
Cold out there.

00:18:01.813 --> 00:18:03.896 align:center
How about a rum
to knock the chill from your bones?

00:18:04.396 --> 00:18:05.605 align:center
Yes, thank you.

00:18:07.146 --> 00:18:09.896 align:center
We have rooms available
if you're planning to stay the night.

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:12.688 align:center
- I'm just waiting out a train delay.
- Where you headed?

00:18:13.230 --> 00:18:14.105 align:center
Out near King City.

00:18:17.355 --> 00:18:19.563 align:center
You've been in this town long?

00:18:19.646 --> 00:18:21.771 align:center
- Since before it was a town.
- Hm.

00:18:24.355 --> 00:18:26.230 align:center
What do you know of a place called Kate's?

00:18:29.563 --> 00:18:30.855 align:center
You'll leave that alone.

00:19:08.521 --> 00:19:09.355 align:center
Yes?

00:19:10.646 --> 00:19:11.980 align:center
I wanna see Kate.

00:19:12.813 --> 00:19:15.188 align:center
You'll have to come back later.
We're not open yet.

00:19:19.313 --> 00:19:21.105 align:center
Tell her Adam Trask is here.

00:19:29.063 --> 00:19:29.896 align:center
Mister.

00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:32.688 align:center
She says she'll see you.

00:19:46.813 --> 00:19:47.646 align:center
Come in.

00:20:02.771 --> 00:20:03.938 align:center
Hello, Adam.

00:20:10.438 --> 00:20:11.438 align:center
Joe, you can go.

00:20:26.188 --> 00:20:27.646 align:center
Do you want another drink?

00:20:28.855 --> 00:20:31.355 align:center
By the smell of it,
you've been having rum.

00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:50.855 align:center
It's funny.

00:20:51.813 --> 00:20:55.813 align:center
For a long time, I expected you,
and then when you didn't come,

00:20:55.896 --> 00:20:57.188 align:center
I guess I…

00:20:57.730 --> 00:21:00.188 align:center
Well, I guess I forgot about you.

00:21:06.063 --> 00:21:07.605 align:center
I didn't forget you.

00:21:28.438 --> 00:21:29.396 align:center
Thank you.

00:21:34.605 --> 00:21:36.730 align:center
You still on that dusty old ranch?

00:21:41.188 --> 00:21:42.021 align:center
Yes.

00:21:42.688 --> 00:21:44.563 align:center
So you came all this way to see me?

00:21:45.063 --> 00:21:46.980 align:center
Oh, no. No, no.

00:21:49.105 --> 00:21:54.563 align:center
No. I… I came into town
for Sam Hamilton's funeral.

00:21:59.230 --> 00:22:00.688 align:center
I'm glad he's dead.

00:22:03.146 --> 00:22:03.980 align:center
Why?

00:22:05.063 --> 00:22:06.230 align:center
He was a good man.

00:22:08.105 --> 00:22:09.646 align:center
I didn't like the way he looked at me.

00:22:10.271 --> 00:22:12.105 align:center
You know, he looked at me too,
and it helped me.

00:22:12.188 --> 00:22:14.105 align:center
- The two of you, a pair of fools.
- Come on, Cathy.

00:22:14.188 --> 00:22:15.188 align:center
Kate.

00:22:19.146 --> 00:22:21.105 align:center
Were you always like this,
or have you changed?

00:22:25.313 --> 00:22:27.563 align:center
- No one stays 19, Adam.
- That's not what I meant.

00:22:27.646 --> 00:22:29.855 align:center
- You've gotten old too, you know.
- No. God…

00:22:30.355 --> 00:22:32.896 align:center
I want to understand
the woman that I loved.

00:22:34.938 --> 00:22:36.230 align:center
You didn't love me.

00:22:36.730 --> 00:22:38.605 align:center
I loved you more than anything.

00:22:38.688 --> 00:22:41.146 align:center
How can you love someone
you barely even know?

00:22:41.230 --> 00:22:42.813 align:center
All right, then tell me.

00:22:42.896 --> 00:22:44.063 align:center
Tell you what?

00:22:44.146 --> 00:22:45.896 align:center
Tell me who you are.

00:22:47.188 --> 00:22:48.355 align:center
Please.

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:53.855 align:center
Please.

00:23:07.813 --> 00:23:08.980 align:center
I always knew…

00:23:11.146 --> 00:23:13.771 align:center
what stupid lying fools they all were.

00:23:14.855 --> 00:23:15.688 align:center
Who?

00:23:18.855 --> 00:23:19.896 align:center
My mother.

00:23:21.438 --> 00:23:23.646 align:center
My father, our neighbors, all of them.

00:23:24.438 --> 00:23:28.271 align:center
Pretending goodness,
but they didn't know me.

00:23:29.771 --> 00:23:33.105 align:center
"Isn't she sweet?" they'd say.
"Isn't she a pretty little thing?"

00:23:33.188 --> 00:23:35.688 align:center
I could do whatever I wanted to them,
and they didn't even see it.

00:23:35.771 --> 00:23:36.938 align:center
No one saw a thing.

00:23:37.730 --> 00:23:40.021 align:center
Like what?
What… what… what didn't they see?

00:23:44.563 --> 00:23:45.396 align:center
I…

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.230 align:center
I made a man kill himself

00:23:49.896 --> 00:23:51.188 align:center
when I was 14.

00:23:53.855 --> 00:23:56.396 align:center
He pretended to be moral and kind,
but he wasn't.

00:23:58.813 --> 00:24:00.688 align:center
He just wanted to go to bed with me.

00:24:03.855 --> 00:24:05.438 align:center
And I was just a child.

00:24:16.730 --> 00:24:18.438 align:center
Is that what you wanted to hear?

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:21.605 align:center
Is that what you wanted to know?

00:24:25.855 --> 00:24:28.813 align:center
So in the whole world,
there's only evil and folly?

00:24:28.896 --> 00:24:30.063 align:center
Is that what you think?

00:24:30.146 --> 00:24:32.813 align:center
- I know it. I can prove it.
- You can prove it?

00:24:32.896 --> 00:24:33.771 align:center
I can prove it.

00:24:47.938 --> 00:24:51.521 align:center
That's a state senator.
He thinks he's going to run for Congress.

00:24:51.605 --> 00:24:54.063 align:center
That's a councilman.
He owns half the county.

00:24:54.146 --> 00:24:55.146 align:center
That's a professor.

00:24:55.230 --> 00:24:58.605 align:center
He travels all the way from Berkeley
to have his face smashed into a toilet.

00:24:59.355 --> 00:25:00.480 align:center
That's a doctor.

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:02.271 align:center
That's a judge.

00:25:02.771 --> 00:25:04.813 align:center
And that's the minister of the gospel.

00:25:05.355 --> 00:25:08.646 align:center
There's your proof
of who these men really are.

00:25:09.230 --> 00:25:11.313 align:center
And if they were ever a threat to me,

00:25:11.896 --> 00:25:13.355 align:center
those envelopes would find themselves

00:25:13.438 --> 00:25:15.396 align:center
in the place where they would do
the most damage.

00:25:19.855 --> 00:25:21.438 align:center
So these men are evil.

00:25:22.396 --> 00:25:23.688 align:center
And I'm a fool.

00:25:25.438 --> 00:25:26.563 align:center
So what about you?

00:25:28.230 --> 00:25:29.355 align:center
What about me?

00:25:29.438 --> 00:25:34.021 align:center
What kind of a mother
abandons her children?

00:25:35.730 --> 00:25:38.605 align:center
Is it an evil or is it a foolish one?

00:25:55.605 --> 00:25:57.521 align:center
I may be their mother, yes, but…

00:26:00.355 --> 00:26:02.063 align:center
how do you know you're the father?

00:26:04.105 --> 00:26:07.646 align:center
How many times did I let you come
close enough for us to have children?

00:26:10.438 --> 00:26:11.563 align:center
Charles, though…

00:26:14.563 --> 00:26:16.563 align:center
I think I could have loved him.

00:26:19.146 --> 00:26:21.230 align:center
He was like me in a way, don't you think?

00:26:28.855 --> 00:26:30.396 align:center
Aren't you gonna say anything?

00:26:35.313 --> 00:26:37.271 align:center
I feel sorry for you.

00:26:37.355 --> 00:26:38.938 align:center
You feel sorry for me?

00:26:39.021 --> 00:26:41.855 align:center
You know the ugliness in people,

00:26:43.146 --> 00:26:45.105 align:center
but you can't see the rest.

00:26:47.230 --> 00:26:48.771 align:center
You only see the one side.

00:26:48.855 --> 00:26:52.688 align:center
You don't believe that I really loved you.

00:26:53.813 --> 00:26:55.438 align:center
You don't believe
the men in those pictures

00:26:55.521 --> 00:26:57.063 align:center
could have goodness in them.

00:26:58.438 --> 00:27:01.646 align:center
You only see the one side,
and you think that that is all there is.

00:27:01.730 --> 00:27:04.063 align:center
- I see the truth.
- Maybe you do sense it.

00:27:04.146 --> 00:27:07.355 align:center
A goodness… all around.

00:27:08.896 --> 00:27:11.396 align:center
But how terrible it would be to know

00:27:12.730 --> 00:27:13.938 align:center
that it was there

00:27:15.438 --> 00:27:16.855 align:center
and not be able to reach it.

00:27:20.355 --> 00:27:22.480 align:center
What the hell are you talking about?

00:27:28.271 --> 00:27:29.438 align:center
Goodbye, Cathy.

00:27:33.688 --> 00:27:35.938 align:center
Adam? You think you're free?

00:27:36.021 --> 00:27:39.105 align:center
I could crook my little finger
and have you crawl back to me.

00:27:39.188 --> 00:27:40.146 align:center
Adam!

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:42.688 align:center
You'll come crawling back!

00:27:42.771 --> 00:27:44.563 align:center
You'll come back begging!

00:28:26.730 --> 00:28:27.855 align:center
Oh…

00:28:28.896 --> 00:28:31.105 align:center
Aron. Cal. Come here.

00:28:31.771 --> 00:28:33.771 align:center
Come here.

00:28:38.355 --> 00:28:39.188 align:center
Oh…

00:28:45.438 --> 00:28:48.771 align:center
How would you boys like to move out
of this house and into Salinas?

00:28:49.271 --> 00:28:53.105 align:center
Hm? What do you think?
You can go to school with other children.

00:28:53.188 --> 00:28:54.188 align:center
We'd leave here?

00:28:54.271 --> 00:28:56.521 align:center
Yes, we'd find a new home in town.

00:28:57.021 --> 00:29:00.730 align:center
- Could we go to a baseball game?
- Sure. Why not?

00:29:00.813 --> 00:29:02.563 align:center
We can do whatever we like.

00:29:03.605 --> 00:29:06.896 align:center
Boys, you have your chores.
We can talk about this later.

00:29:06.980 --> 00:29:08.230 align:center
The chores can wait, Lee.

00:29:08.313 --> 00:29:10.563 align:center
Well, the horses need to be fed.
Boys, go on.

00:29:11.146 --> 00:29:12.021 align:center
Oh.

00:29:12.105 --> 00:29:13.521 align:center
Let's go. Come on.

00:29:13.605 --> 00:29:14.605 align:center
Okay.

00:29:33.396 --> 00:29:34.855 align:center
You saw her, didn't you?

00:29:49.438 --> 00:29:51.021 align:center
I never knew her, Lee.

00:29:51.813 --> 00:29:54.980 align:center
The wife I had, I made up.

00:29:57.396 --> 00:29:59.938 align:center
I… I feel free now.

00:30:01.063 --> 00:30:04.188 align:center
I can leave this place.
I can be with my boys.

00:30:05.105 --> 00:30:06.855 align:center
I can start a new life.

00:30:10.438 --> 00:30:11.896 align:center
Well, if you're free,

00:30:13.146 --> 00:30:15.021 align:center
maybe you could let me go.

00:30:17.813 --> 00:30:18.938 align:center
You wanna leave?

00:30:22.396 --> 00:30:24.730 align:center
Haven't you been happy with us?

00:30:27.230 --> 00:30:30.063 align:center
I'm not sure I've ever known
what people call happiness.

00:30:30.563 --> 00:30:34.480 align:center
It's hard to be content
with so many things left undone.

00:30:36.605 --> 00:30:37.480 align:center
Like what?

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:39.938 align:center
One thing it's too late for.

00:30:40.646 --> 00:30:41.605 align:center
A wife.

00:30:43.230 --> 00:30:44.396 align:center
Sons of my own.

00:30:46.396 --> 00:30:48.646 align:center
Surely you still have time.

00:30:52.688 --> 00:30:54.105 align:center
There was another thing.

00:30:55.271 --> 00:30:57.271 align:center
I thought I might have my own business.

00:30:57.855 --> 00:30:58.730 align:center
Oh.

00:30:59.396 --> 00:31:00.521 align:center
A laundry?

00:31:00.605 --> 00:31:02.980 align:center
I think there are
enough Chinese laundries, don't you?

00:31:04.313 --> 00:31:06.771 align:center
No, I dreamed of having a bookshop.

00:31:08.105 --> 00:31:12.063 align:center
In San Francisco,
with books in both English and Chinese.

00:31:12.146 --> 00:31:15.646 align:center
- I… I can lend you the money to start.
- I have the money already.

00:31:20.730 --> 00:31:22.063 align:center
Then why haven't you left?

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:27.563 align:center
Being needed is hard bait
for a lonely man.

00:31:32.813 --> 00:31:33.980 align:center
Could you wait?

00:31:35.271 --> 00:31:37.563 align:center
Until I get the boys settled in Salinas.

00:31:38.146 --> 00:31:39.730 align:center
Help see us through the change.

00:31:57.813 --> 00:31:59.271 align:center
<i>Dear brother Charles,</i>

00:32:01.146 --> 00:32:04.521 align:center
<i>I think you will be surprised to hear</i>
<i>from me after all this time.</i>

00:32:06.605 --> 00:32:08.105 align:center
<i>I have twin sons.</i>

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.646 align:center
<i>Their mother is no longer with us.</i>

00:32:13.730 --> 00:32:16.021 align:center
<i>For a number of years, I felt poorly.</i>

00:32:16.605 --> 00:32:18.563 align:center
<i>And now I'm finally well.</i>

00:32:18.646 --> 00:32:20.730 align:center
Aron, walk. Aron, walk.

00:32:20.813 --> 00:32:24.813 align:center
<i>We lived on a ranch in the valley</i>
<i>but are moving into Salinas town.</i>

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:27.646 align:center
<i>Why don't you visit us?</i>

00:32:28.730 --> 00:32:31.230 align:center
<i>- It's a great country.</i>
- And I will take these. Thank you.

00:32:31.313 --> 00:32:33.563 align:center
<i>You might even find</i>
<i>a place of your own out here.</i>

00:32:34.730 --> 00:32:37.355 align:center
<i>I have much to tell you</i>
<i>that I can't put down.</i>

00:32:37.938 --> 00:32:40.271 align:center
<i>Write quick and say that you will visit.</i>

00:32:41.521 --> 00:32:43.271 align:center
<i>Your brother, Adam.</i>

00:32:46.521 --> 00:32:49.271 align:center
<i>P.S. Charles, I never hated you.</i>

00:32:50.355 --> 00:32:51.355 align:center
<i>No matter what.</i>

00:32:52.563 --> 00:32:55.146 align:center
<i>I always loved you</i>
<i>because you are my brother.</i>

00:33:05.146 --> 00:33:07.271 align:center
Why does Father want
that hung in his room?

00:33:07.813 --> 00:33:11.105 align:center
- I thought he hated his father.
- People aren't just one thing.

00:33:11.188 --> 00:33:14.146 align:center
Stop that. Electricity is expensive.

00:33:16.188 --> 00:33:17.771 align:center
- Lee?
- Hmm?

00:33:19.271 --> 00:33:20.188 align:center
It's her,

00:33:20.688 --> 00:33:21.646 align:center
isn't it?

00:33:25.146 --> 00:33:25.980 align:center
Yes.

00:33:26.646 --> 00:33:27.521 align:center
Who?

00:33:28.730 --> 00:33:29.855 align:center
Our mother.

00:33:32.105 --> 00:33:33.438 align:center
She was beautiful.

00:33:34.771 --> 00:33:36.146 align:center
Is that a scar?

00:33:36.646 --> 00:33:39.646 align:center
Boys, why don't you go
finish up in your room, hm?

00:33:40.146 --> 00:33:41.021 align:center
Go on.

00:34:07.271 --> 00:34:10.396 align:center
You should tell the boys
the truth about their mother.

00:34:11.771 --> 00:34:14.563 align:center
Better they hear it from you
than someone else.

00:34:18.188 --> 00:34:20.063 align:center
Maybe, when they're older.

00:34:20.646 --> 00:34:24.521 align:center
She's just across the tracks, Adam,
not ten minutes' walk from here.

00:34:25.646 --> 00:34:28.063 align:center
They deserve to hold on to
the good thoughts of their mother,

00:34:28.146 --> 00:34:29.771 align:center
and I won't take that from them.

00:34:49.938 --> 00:34:52.230 align:center
Did you know my mother died
when I was a baby?

00:34:55.605 --> 00:34:56.438 align:center
No.

00:34:57.980 --> 00:35:00.188 align:center
Because in all the time
I've cared for your family,

00:35:00.271 --> 00:35:02.146 align:center
you've never asked about mine.

00:35:13.688 --> 00:35:17.146 align:center
The man who raised me
was a cook named Lau.

00:35:18.646 --> 00:35:21.646 align:center
Back in China,
Lau had had a debt he couldn't pay,

00:35:21.730 --> 00:35:24.313 align:center
so he signed himself up for the railroads.

00:35:25.855 --> 00:35:28.688 align:center
Lau discovered my mother at sea.

00:35:28.771 --> 00:35:30.313 align:center
She was dressed like a man,

00:35:31.063 --> 00:35:32.438 align:center
hiding her sex.

00:35:32.521 --> 00:35:34.855 align:center
They took a liking to each other.

00:35:36.688 --> 00:35:38.438 align:center
He told her stories.

00:35:40.063 --> 00:35:42.730 align:center
She told him her secret.

00:35:44.063 --> 00:35:45.355 align:center
She was pregnant.

00:35:47.646 --> 00:35:49.146 align:center
He promised to help her.

00:35:52.938 --> 00:35:55.730 align:center
In San Francisco,
they were pushed into cattle cars

00:35:55.813 --> 00:35:58.980 align:center
and brought up the Sierra Mountains
to dig the tunnels.

00:35:59.771 --> 00:36:02.813 align:center
My mother did her best
hiding her condition.

00:36:03.313 --> 00:36:05.480 align:center
Why wouldn't they just go to the bosses?

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:07.563 align:center
They… they would've helped her.

00:36:14.771 --> 00:36:17.896 align:center
Do you know why
they brought only men from China?

00:36:20.688 --> 00:36:22.438 align:center
So we wouldn't breed here.

00:36:25.896 --> 00:36:28.480 align:center
God knows what they would have done
to her if they found out.

00:36:29.938 --> 00:36:31.688 align:center
So my parents made plans to escape.

00:36:31.771 --> 00:36:34.688 align:center
Days before they were going to flee,

00:36:35.188 --> 00:36:38.230 align:center
a little boulder jumped down a hill
and broke my father's leg.

00:36:38.938 --> 00:36:44.188 align:center
Whether with work or worry,
my mother went into early labor.

00:36:45.855 --> 00:36:48.021 align:center
When my father heard the shout…

00:36:50.105 --> 00:36:51.021 align:center
"Woman!"

00:36:52.105 --> 00:36:52.980 align:center
he knew.

00:36:54.563 --> 00:36:57.355 align:center
You see, these indentured men

00:36:57.438 --> 00:37:02.938 align:center
have been driven half-crazy with hunger
and exhaustion and loneliness,

00:37:03.021 --> 00:37:05.396 align:center
being treated as less than human.

00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:11.980 align:center
The many crimes
committed against those men

00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.813 align:center
flared up into a kind of madness.

00:37:20.563 --> 00:37:22.605 align:center
By the time my father got to her,

00:37:24.396 --> 00:37:28.146 align:center
my mother hadn't even eyes to see out of.

00:37:32.938 --> 00:37:34.063 align:center
She died

00:37:34.646 --> 00:37:36.480 align:center
on a pile of shale

00:37:37.813 --> 00:37:39.605 align:center
in the afternoon sun.

00:37:45.396 --> 00:37:48.021 align:center
My father managed to claw me out of her.

00:37:50.813 --> 00:37:51.730 align:center
Alive.

00:37:56.480 --> 00:38:01.146 align:center
My father told me that story again
and again from the time I was very young.

00:38:02.105 --> 00:38:04.230 align:center
I'm glad he didn't spare me.

00:38:07.771 --> 00:38:09.771 align:center
There's a beauty in the truth…

00:38:12.521 --> 00:38:14.438 align:center
even if it is a dreadful beauty.

00:38:15.021 --> 00:38:15.855 align:center
Lee…

00:38:15.938 --> 00:38:21.146 align:center
Adam, if you continue to tell your sons
this lie about their mother,

00:38:21.230 --> 00:38:23.938 align:center
it will infect everything.

00:38:24.021 --> 00:38:26.188 align:center
When they find out the truth,
and they will,

00:38:26.271 --> 00:38:28.021 align:center
they'll lose all trust in you.

00:38:28.105 --> 00:38:29.271 align:center
You will lose them.

00:38:30.396 --> 00:38:32.896 align:center
And what would you like me to tell them?

00:38:33.813 --> 00:38:36.938 align:center
That their mother is a whore?
That she is a mistress of whores?

00:38:37.021 --> 00:38:40.271 align:center
That she tried to kill me?
That she abandoned them?

00:38:40.771 --> 00:38:43.438 align:center
What exactly would you like me
to tell them?

00:38:43.521 --> 00:38:47.313 align:center
When you forbade me to teach
the boys Cantonese, did I protest?

00:38:47.396 --> 00:38:52.063 align:center
When you went months without so much
as looking at them, did I say a word?

00:38:52.146 --> 00:38:55.146 align:center
In this matter, I must insist.

00:38:55.855 --> 00:39:00.813 align:center
Tell them. Tell them enough
so that you all don't suffer later.

00:39:04.188 --> 00:39:05.438 align:center
I'll think about it.

00:39:09.521 --> 00:39:10.980 align:center
Hmm.

00:39:21.730 --> 00:39:24.188 align:center
- I'm done wasting my time on you.
- Don't talk to me like that.

00:39:24.271 --> 00:39:26.230 align:center
- Are you lying to yourself or just to me?
- Shut up!

00:39:26.313 --> 00:39:28.480 align:center
Your course is drawn, Adam!

00:39:30.146 --> 00:39:32.896 align:center
Faced with two morals,
you'll follow your training.

00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:36.605 align:center
What you call thinking won't change that.
What you call love won't change that.

00:39:36.688 --> 00:39:40.688 align:center
<i>Nothing </i>will change that!
You cannot change.

00:40:40.563 --> 00:40:43.021 align:center
Dessie Hamilton has agreed
to take in the washing.

00:40:43.521 --> 00:40:46.730 align:center
I left a box of recipes for easy meals.

00:40:46.813 --> 00:40:50.313 align:center
The boys can help.
They know their way around a kitchen.

00:40:56.438 --> 00:41:01.063 align:center
The boys can write to me at the Lee Tong.
It's a club of sorts.

00:41:04.396 --> 00:41:05.230 align:center
Oh.

00:41:06.063 --> 00:41:07.938 align:center
My books are in crates.

00:41:08.021 --> 00:41:08.938 align:center
If you don't mind,

00:41:09.021 --> 00:41:11.855 align:center
I'll ask you to ship them to me
when I find an apartment.

00:41:17.230 --> 00:41:19.646 align:center
You better hurry
if you're gonna make today's train.

00:41:25.605 --> 00:41:27.021 align:center
Cal! Aron!

00:41:37.063 --> 00:41:39.271 align:center
- We'll see each other.
- Make sure to come visit us.

00:41:39.355 --> 00:41:42.938 align:center
- Be good. Take care of yourselves.
- We'll try. I promise.

00:41:44.396 --> 00:41:46.938 align:center
As long as you write to us.

00:41:54.188 --> 00:41:55.438 align:center
Hey, boys!

00:41:55.521 --> 00:41:56.771 align:center
Let's go buy an automobile.

00:41:56.855 --> 00:41:58.188 align:center
Really?

00:41:58.688 --> 00:41:59.521 align:center
Why not?

00:41:59.605 --> 00:42:01.605 align:center
Come on, get ready. Hurry.

00:42:04.396 --> 00:42:06.771 align:center
Go, go, go. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

00:43:07.188 --> 00:43:08.396 align:center
Uncle.

00:43:09.021 --> 00:43:10.271 align:center
Are you lost?

00:43:12.813 --> 00:43:15.021 align:center
Do you know the Lee Tong?

00:43:15.646 --> 00:43:17.563 align:center
I was certain it was here.

00:43:18.188 --> 00:43:19.813 align:center
The Lee Tong no longer exists.

00:43:19.896 --> 00:43:21.980 align:center
It was lost in the fires,

00:43:22.521 --> 00:43:23.771 align:center
after the earthquake.

00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:30.063 align:center
Do you know a scholar called Lau?

00:43:31.146 --> 00:43:32.730 align:center
Connected to the Lee Tong?

00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:35.480 align:center
Lucky Lau?

00:43:36.230 --> 00:43:37.646 align:center
Don't worry, uncle.

00:43:37.730 --> 00:43:39.105 align:center
He's alive and well

00:43:39.605 --> 00:43:41.855 align:center
and still running his baccarat game.

00:43:43.105 --> 00:43:43.980 align:center
You want in?

00:43:45.980 --> 00:43:48.230 align:center
You must be mistaken.

00:43:48.980 --> 00:43:50.730 align:center
This is a learned man,

00:43:51.230 --> 00:43:53.313 align:center
a principled man.

00:44:03.355 --> 00:44:04.188 align:center
Uncle.

00:44:04.730 --> 00:44:07.146 align:center
You need a place to stay?

00:44:24.271 --> 00:44:26.105 align:center
How many share this room?

00:44:26.605 --> 00:44:27.896 align:center
It depends,

00:44:28.646 --> 00:44:30.438 align:center
how many people come tonight.

00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.021 align:center
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

00:44:44.730 --> 00:44:46.896 align:center
My Cantonese isn't what it should be.

00:44:47.855 --> 00:44:50.230 align:center
It's been some time.

00:44:51.146 --> 00:44:53.730 align:center
Good news. My English is excellent.

00:44:55.813 --> 00:44:59.646 align:center
- Where are you from?
- Right here. I was born in California.

00:45:00.521 --> 00:45:01.896 align:center
An American uncle.

00:45:03.813 --> 00:45:05.938 align:center
What brings you to San Francisco?

00:45:08.021 --> 00:45:10.188 align:center
Well, I intend to open a bookstore.

00:45:12.230 --> 00:45:13.396 align:center
You need a protector.

00:45:13.980 --> 00:45:15.396 align:center
I can look after myself.

00:45:15.896 --> 00:45:17.938 align:center
How will you negotiate the tongs?

00:45:18.438 --> 00:45:21.646 align:center
Hm? Do you have funds
set aside to pay off the police?

00:45:21.730 --> 00:45:22.896 align:center
The Black Hand?

00:45:25.105 --> 00:45:26.563 align:center
What is your plan?

00:45:26.646 --> 00:45:27.855 align:center
It's funny.

00:45:28.355 --> 00:45:32.146 align:center
I've always been the one
preparing for every outcome,

00:45:32.230 --> 00:45:37.146 align:center
but now it seems my dream
has made me a stranger to myself.

00:45:39.855 --> 00:45:41.688 align:center
I think all dreams do this.

00:45:46.896 --> 00:45:49.355 align:center
It was a dream Lau and I shared,

00:45:49.896 --> 00:45:51.146 align:center
our bookstore.

00:45:52.146 --> 00:45:55.063 align:center
We wanted to make a place
to serve the community.

00:45:55.771 --> 00:45:57.646 align:center
Lau is serving the community.

00:45:59.438 --> 00:46:00.646 align:center
By taking their money?

00:46:00.730 --> 00:46:02.146 align:center
Even if they lose,

00:46:03.313 --> 00:46:06.855 align:center
all gamblers eat at Lucky Lau's.

00:46:15.063 --> 00:46:17.896 align:center
It must have been lonely,

00:46:18.730 --> 00:46:20.146 align:center
living so long in the white world.

00:46:20.980 --> 00:46:22.980 align:center
How did you survive it?

00:46:29.313 --> 00:46:31.480 align:center
I used to imagine I had a wife.

00:46:33.313 --> 00:46:37.855 align:center
I would tell her everything
about what I did, all my troubles.

00:46:39.730 --> 00:46:41.021 align:center
Did she say anything?

00:46:41.105 --> 00:46:42.688 align:center
She wasn't much of a talker.

00:46:46.146 --> 00:46:47.396 align:center
But a wonderful listener.

00:46:47.896 --> 00:46:48.813 align:center
Hm.

00:46:50.271 --> 00:46:51.438 align:center
And then I…

00:46:53.438 --> 00:46:55.021 align:center
stopped talking to her.

00:46:58.730 --> 00:46:59.605 align:center
Why?

00:47:02.021 --> 00:47:03.730 align:center
Too busy, I suppose.

00:47:03.813 --> 00:47:09.021 align:center
In my job, I had many responsibilities.
Cook, housekeeper, accountant,

00:47:09.980 --> 00:47:10.980 align:center
nurse,

00:47:12.105 --> 00:47:12.938 align:center
tutor.

00:47:16.230 --> 00:47:19.396 align:center
It sounds like you were
someone else's imaginary wife.

00:47:21.813 --> 00:47:23.938 align:center
Hmm.

00:47:26.438 --> 00:47:27.313 align:center
Hm.

00:47:35.230 --> 00:47:37.313 align:center
Advance the spark, retard the gas.

00:47:37.396 --> 00:47:38.646 align:center
- Oh boy.
- That's what he said.

00:47:38.730 --> 00:47:39.771 align:center
Why isn't that going now?

00:47:40.730 --> 00:47:44.105 align:center
- Maybe the engine's too hot.
- I said, just give me a minute.

00:47:46.688 --> 00:47:47.563 align:center
Okay.

00:47:48.105 --> 00:47:50.855 align:center
Should I run and get the mechanic?
I'm sure he'd show you again.

00:47:51.396 --> 00:47:52.980 align:center
We don't need the mechanic.

00:47:53.063 --> 00:47:54.563 align:center
- Mr. Trask.
- What?

00:47:54.646 --> 00:47:55.646 align:center
Package for you.

00:47:56.230 --> 00:47:58.480 align:center
- Golly, is that your car?
- Yes.

00:47:58.563 --> 00:48:00.521 align:center
If he can ever get it to start.

00:48:00.605 --> 00:48:02.896 align:center
Did you toggle the switch to battery?
My brother always says

00:48:02.980 --> 00:48:04.688 align:center
he forgets to switch it to battery.

00:48:06.230 --> 00:48:08.021 align:center
- Yeah!
- There, you see?

00:48:08.105 --> 00:48:10.771 align:center
- Took you long enough.
- Tell your brother to stick it.

00:48:16.563 --> 00:48:17.896 align:center
Boys, I'll be right back.

00:49:08.730 --> 00:49:09.730 align:center
Father?

00:49:15.188 --> 00:49:16.063 align:center
Come on.

00:49:20.688 --> 00:49:21.646 align:center
I'm all right.

00:49:27.896 --> 00:49:28.813 align:center
I'm all right.

00:49:36.855 --> 00:49:38.021 align:center
I had a brother,

00:49:39.313 --> 00:49:40.313 align:center
just like you.

00:49:42.355 --> 00:49:43.313 align:center
Charles.

00:49:45.271 --> 00:49:47.355 align:center
We hadn't spoken in a long time.

00:49:49.813 --> 00:49:51.938 align:center
And I've just received word
that he's died.

00:49:54.646 --> 00:49:57.438 align:center
Okay. Oh, okay. Thank you.

00:50:01.146 --> 00:50:02.146 align:center
Thank you.

00:50:29.521 --> 00:50:30.646 align:center
Cal?

00:50:32.855 --> 00:50:36.355 align:center
The other night, it sounded
like Lee and Father were fighting.

00:50:37.521 --> 00:50:39.813 align:center
Do you think that's why Lee left?

00:50:40.855 --> 00:50:41.688 align:center
No.

00:50:42.521 --> 00:50:45.355 align:center
You got out of bed, didn't you?

00:50:46.355 --> 00:50:48.146 align:center
I woke up, and you were gone.

00:50:48.855 --> 00:50:51.230 align:center
Did you hear what they were arguing about?

00:50:52.646 --> 00:50:53.980 align:center
They…

00:50:57.271 --> 00:51:00.521 align:center
They weren't arguing.
They were only excited.

00:51:01.646 --> 00:51:02.688 align:center
What about?

00:51:05.146 --> 00:51:07.480 align:center
Father's gonna send
a wreath to our mother,

00:51:09.438 --> 00:51:10.438 align:center
to her grave.

00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:13.396 align:center
A big wreath of carnations.

00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:15.105 align:center
How's he gonna get it there?

00:51:15.605 --> 00:51:18.396 align:center
On a train. Don't talk so loud.

00:51:20.188 --> 00:51:22.230 align:center
But how's he gonna keep it fresh?

00:51:22.730 --> 00:51:24.563 align:center
They'll pack ice all around it.

00:51:25.396 --> 00:51:27.521 align:center
Won't it take a lot of ice?

00:51:27.605 --> 00:51:29.271 align:center
A whole hell of a lot of ice.

00:51:34.438 --> 00:51:35.646 align:center
A big wreath.

00:51:36.563 --> 00:51:37.688 align:center
That's nice.

00:51:39.188 --> 00:51:41.771 align:center
I hope it gets there nice and fresh.

00:52:02.271 --> 00:52:04.855 align:center
Dear Lord, please let me be like Aron.

00:52:07.438 --> 00:52:09.021 align:center
Don't let me be mean.

00:52:11.855 --> 00:52:13.563 align:center
Don't wanna be lonely.

00:52:15.271 --> 00:52:16.771 align:center
Don't wanna be mean.

00:52:19.271 --> 00:52:20.813 align:center
<i>Don't wanna be mean.</i>

00:52:23.771 --> 00:52:25.313 align:center
<i>Don't let me be mean.</i>

00:52:27.688 --> 00:52:29.230 align:center
<i>Don't let me be mean.</i>

00:52:43.146 --> 00:52:44.230 align:center
<i>Cathy.</i>
