00:00:22.627 --> 00:00:24.712 align:center
Where's Father? I need to see Father!

00:00:24.796 --> 00:00:28.091 align:center
- Miss Borden, you shouldn't go in there.
- I need to see Father!

00:00:28.174 --> 00:00:29.259 align:center
Wait, stop!

00:00:31.261 --> 00:00:32.387 align:center
And one more.

00:00:55.827 --> 00:00:57.162 align:center
No!

00:00:58.788 --> 00:01:01.040 align:center
Father!

00:01:02.333 --> 00:01:04.252 align:center
Are you writing that down?

00:01:33.156 --> 00:01:35.158 align:center
No!

00:01:45.543 --> 00:01:50.256 align:center
The really important thing
is to make a thumb-sized hole

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:52.550 align:center
in the middle of each cookie.

00:01:52.634 --> 00:01:54.010 align:center
Like this.

00:01:55.720 --> 00:01:59.599 align:center
And you fill them with any kind
of fruit preserve that you like the best.

00:01:59.682 --> 00:02:02.602 align:center
For me, it's cherries from my allée.

00:02:03.353 --> 00:02:04.395 align:center
Lizzie?

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:06.522 align:center
- Yes?
- I think you should sit down.

00:02:06.606 --> 00:02:09.400 align:center
No, I think I'd like
to keep my hands busy.

00:02:09.984 --> 00:02:14.656 align:center
And then you fill each cookie…
with a bit of fruit jam,

00:02:14.739 --> 00:02:16.157 align:center
and it bakes off lovely.

00:02:16.241 --> 00:02:17.992 align:center
Ah! Um…

00:02:19.577 --> 00:02:20.787 align:center
Ah…

00:02:20.870 --> 00:02:22.789 align:center
I'll just let these cool,

00:02:22.872 --> 00:02:26.793 align:center
and everybody can have one or… a few.

00:02:26.876 --> 00:02:28.127 align:center
As many as you…

00:02:34.092 --> 00:02:35.134 align:center
Lizzie.

00:02:37.387 --> 00:02:38.554 align:center
Sister.

00:03:03.579 --> 00:03:05.957 align:center
How could you?

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:07.667 align:center
Wait! Ladies, please!

00:03:07.750 --> 00:03:10.461 align:center
This is all your fucking fault!

00:03:10.545 --> 00:03:12.213 align:center
Emma! What are you doing?

00:03:12.297 --> 00:03:15.216 align:center
- Lying, conniving bitch!
- Miss Borden, stop!

00:03:15.925 --> 00:03:19.095 align:center
And you! You plotting, scheming,

00:03:19.178 --> 00:03:22.348 align:center
Kraut-Mick horse pussy!

00:03:22.432 --> 00:03:25.893 align:center
- Miss Borden! Ladies!
- I think you're under shock, Miss Borden!

00:03:25.977 --> 00:03:28.354 align:center
I'll prove it! You're a monster!

00:03:28.438 --> 00:03:30.940 align:center
I won't rest until I prove it!

00:03:31.024 --> 00:03:33.276 align:center
You're a monster!

00:04:45.681 --> 00:04:46.766 align:center
Careful.

00:04:56.734 --> 00:04:57.819 align:center
This way.

00:05:15.128 --> 00:05:17.630 align:center
Good day, Miss Borden. I'm Ms. Meade.

00:05:17.713 --> 00:05:20.091 align:center
I'm the matron here at Taunton Jail.

00:05:20.174 --> 00:05:21.884 align:center
I'll be looking after you.

00:05:25.221 --> 00:05:26.264 align:center
Hello.

00:05:31.561 --> 00:05:33.146 align:center
Am I to change clothes?

00:05:33.229 --> 00:05:35.356 align:center
No. You can wear that if you'd like.

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:37.483 align:center
But as you've not yet
been convicted of any crime,

00:05:37.567 --> 00:05:40.236 align:center
you can wear what you'd like
as your trial progresses.

00:05:44.365 --> 00:05:46.242 align:center
How long will I be here?

00:05:46.325 --> 00:05:49.162 align:center
You might be here a very long time indeed.

00:05:50.121 --> 00:05:53.708 align:center
But… Miss Borden,
as you are a mistress of no little means,

00:05:54.292 --> 00:05:56.544 align:center
your stay here needn't be too trying.

00:05:56.627 --> 00:05:58.629 align:center
Your meals will be sent
from the city hotel

00:05:58.713 --> 00:06:00.882 align:center
and the daily newspaper forwarded to you.

00:06:39.795 --> 00:06:41.964 align:center
This is how I shall spend my days.

00:07:20.253 --> 00:07:21.504 align:center
Good morning.

00:07:22.213 --> 00:07:23.923 align:center
How long have you been awake?

00:07:24.882 --> 00:07:26.300 align:center
Since dawn.

00:07:31.430 --> 00:07:34.016 align:center
Fish hash today, as it's Friday.

00:07:35.476 --> 00:07:38.187 align:center
That's all right, Ms. Meade. You enjoy it.

00:07:41.774 --> 00:07:44.318 align:center
There's a red bird in that tree.

00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.612 align:center
A cardinal.

00:07:47.446 --> 00:07:49.490 align:center
His song is always first.

00:07:51.909 --> 00:07:56.080 align:center
It sounds like he's saying,
"What cheer, what cheer!"

00:08:02.128 --> 00:08:04.463 align:center
What a magnificent summer it's become.

00:08:07.425 --> 00:08:09.093 align:center
I wish I could be outside.

00:08:09.719 --> 00:08:11.554 align:center
With my cherry trees.

00:08:12.722 --> 00:08:13.806 align:center
Hm.

00:08:20.354 --> 00:08:23.816 align:center
Has a Bridget… called on me?

00:08:25.443 --> 00:08:26.777 align:center
Bridget Sullivan?

00:08:27.820 --> 00:08:29.697 align:center
She also goes by Maggie.

00:08:31.115 --> 00:08:32.366 align:center
Or Margaret.

00:08:41.626 --> 00:08:42.543 align:center
No.

00:08:45.129 --> 00:08:47.923 align:center
There is someone
who has requested a visit.

00:09:15.117 --> 00:09:16.118 align:center
Ladies.

00:09:37.973 --> 00:09:40.351 align:center
I'm going to ask you one last time.

00:09:42.478 --> 00:09:43.562 align:center
Did you do it?

00:09:44.063 --> 00:09:46.232 align:center
Can we please speak of other things?

00:09:46.732 --> 00:09:49.860 align:center
Your story makes no sense, Lizzie.
Answer me.

00:09:51.278 --> 00:09:52.363 align:center
Answer me!

00:09:54.949 --> 00:09:56.242 align:center
No.

00:09:56.325 --> 00:09:57.410 align:center
I didn't.

00:10:01.622 --> 00:10:03.958 align:center
I've arrived at a kind of impasse.

00:10:05.584 --> 00:10:09.171 align:center
Because when I hear your protestations,
I simply don't believe you.

00:10:11.966 --> 00:10:13.968 align:center
I believe you killed our father.

00:10:18.848 --> 00:10:20.641 align:center
There's something I never told you.

00:10:22.143 --> 00:10:23.811 align:center
When Mother was dying,

00:10:24.687 --> 00:10:26.522 align:center
I was called to her bedside.

00:10:27.565 --> 00:10:29.024 align:center
I made her a promise.

00:10:29.859 --> 00:10:31.610 align:center
To protect you, Lizzie.

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.156 align:center
And I am here to honor that promise.

00:10:35.239 --> 00:10:37.616 align:center
But, Lizzie,
you are making this very difficult.

00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.494 align:center
I have met your lawyers,
and your case is terrible.

00:10:40.578 --> 00:10:41.871 align:center
Your inquest was a disaster.

00:10:41.954 --> 00:10:44.749 align:center
Your lawyers can't even begin
to craft a narrative from it.

00:10:44.832 --> 00:10:45.791 align:center
Why?

00:10:45.875 --> 00:10:49.003 align:center
Because each time you told the story,
it was different.

00:10:49.086 --> 00:10:53.632 align:center
I heard a moan, and I ran downstairs.

00:10:53.716 --> 00:10:56.051 align:center
- But you said you were out back.
- Yes.

00:10:56.844 --> 00:11:01.390 align:center
I was vomiting all morning.
We all were. I couldn't keep a thing down.

00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:04.643 align:center
So you picked some fruit?

00:11:06.103 --> 00:11:09.148 align:center
- Yes.
- And you stayed out in the heat to eat it?

00:11:11.442 --> 00:11:12.276 align:center
Yes.

00:11:12.359 --> 00:11:17.656 align:center
<i>Uh, except for when I went out back</i>
<i>to look for some sinkers. I think I…</i>

00:11:18.407 --> 00:11:20.701 align:center
I mentioned that before.

00:11:20.785 --> 00:11:24.121 align:center
For a fishing trip,
for which you had no fishing line,

00:11:24.205 --> 00:11:28.083 align:center
you just… thought
you'd look for some sinkers.

00:11:30.961 --> 00:11:31.921 align:center
Yes.

00:11:33.214 --> 00:11:34.673 align:center
Just say it was that Mick dyke,

00:11:34.757 --> 00:11:37.259 align:center
and I'll give you an alibi
that will save your life.

00:11:40.471 --> 00:11:41.806 align:center
I can't.

00:11:41.889 --> 00:11:43.390 align:center
Lizzie, please.

00:11:44.016 --> 00:11:46.018 align:center
I need something to hold on to.

00:11:46.727 --> 00:11:49.313 align:center
Just say that it was her,
and we'll be free.

00:11:53.067 --> 00:11:54.485 align:center
It wasn't me.

00:11:56.070 --> 00:11:57.655 align:center
And it wasn't her.

00:11:58.197 --> 00:12:01.200 align:center
How do you know? If it wasn't you,
then it could have been her.

00:12:01.742 --> 00:12:05.204 align:center
- Just say that it was!
- No. I won't move one inch.

00:12:06.372 --> 00:12:07.289 align:center
Never.

00:12:19.134 --> 00:12:21.011 align:center
You're going to regret this.

00:12:21.095 --> 00:12:24.557 align:center
If it's the last thing I do,
you're going to live to regret this.

00:13:12.771 --> 00:13:14.815 align:center
I don't understand.

00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:18.319 align:center
Because you're notorious, Lizzie,
there's an incentive for anyone

00:13:18.402 --> 00:13:21.989 align:center
overhearing your conversations
to forward them to the newspapers.

00:13:22.531 --> 00:13:25.826 align:center
So… I spoke to the judge, and he agreed,

00:13:25.910 --> 00:13:28.746 align:center
you could meet your lawyers
someplace more private.

00:13:35.336 --> 00:13:36.295 align:center
Thank you.

00:13:38.923 --> 00:13:42.051 align:center
Anyone with eyes can see you're innocent.

00:13:59.276 --> 00:14:02.488 align:center
Miss Borden,
your lawyers will be here within the hour.

00:14:23.467 --> 00:14:24.927 align:center
This way. Over here.

00:14:28.055 --> 00:14:31.225 align:center
You're going to hell, Lizzie!
You're going to hell!

00:16:31.011 --> 00:16:32.304 align:center
Oh! Miss O'Neil!

00:16:32.387 --> 00:16:33.597 align:center
Oh, Miss O'Neil!

00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:36.517 align:center
Thank you, good day to you all.

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.893 align:center
Ah!

00:16:37.976 --> 00:16:38.977 align:center
Look!

00:16:39.061 --> 00:16:41.522 align:center
<i>'Tis Pity She's a Whore.</i>

00:16:45.192 --> 00:16:46.610 align:center
I think not!

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:55.077 align:center
Thank you, Officer.

00:17:05.170 --> 00:17:08.257 align:center
If you prefer,
we can put you on the stand.

00:17:08.966 --> 00:17:13.053 align:center
Or… the top of page two.

00:17:13.137 --> 00:17:14.263 align:center
That's the…

00:17:16.515 --> 00:17:17.683 align:center
Nance?

00:17:21.478 --> 00:17:23.063 align:center
These are my lawyers.

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:26.441 align:center
- Hello.
- Hello, ma'am.

00:17:27.067 --> 00:17:31.071 align:center
Gentlemen, I'm sure you already know,
but this is Nance O'Neil.

00:17:34.908 --> 00:17:39.079 align:center
Gentlemen, I wonder if you might allow
Miss Borden and I some privacy.

00:17:41.206 --> 00:17:42.166 align:center
Certainly.

00:17:44.084 --> 00:17:45.752 align:center
We'll continue tomorrow.

00:17:48.505 --> 00:17:49.423 align:center
Lizzie.

00:17:50.883 --> 00:17:52.050 align:center
Good day, ma'am.

00:18:06.231 --> 00:18:09.735 align:center
Are these cuttings from a cherry tree?

00:18:10.402 --> 00:18:11.361 align:center
Yes.

00:18:12.321 --> 00:18:17.201 align:center
My spiteful sister chopped them down,
but I'm forcing the buds.

00:18:18.118 --> 00:18:19.494 align:center
I'll save them.

00:18:32.090 --> 00:18:33.425 align:center
We need to talk.

00:18:45.270 --> 00:18:46.271 align:center
Ahh!

00:18:48.482 --> 00:18:51.693 align:center
Lizzie, I know more
than you might imagine about your case.

00:18:53.403 --> 00:18:54.571 align:center
How?

00:18:54.655 --> 00:18:56.323 align:center
I fucked the bailiff.

00:19:02.788 --> 00:19:06.959 align:center
Lizzie, you're in trouble.
Your inquest was insane.

00:19:07.626 --> 00:19:10.379 align:center
My insatiable bailiff beau
told me all about it.

00:19:10.462 --> 00:19:12.923 align:center
<i>He told me everything I wanted to know,</i>

00:19:13.507 --> 00:19:15.133 align:center
<i>needed to know.</i>

00:19:16.677 --> 00:19:19.888 align:center
If you were upstairs
when your father returned,

00:19:19.972 --> 00:19:23.141 align:center
you would have walked past
your dead mother.

00:19:23.225 --> 00:19:26.979 align:center
I didn't see her
because I was downstairs in the kitchen.

00:19:27.062 --> 00:19:31.984 align:center
But you said you came downstairs
when you heard your father come in.

00:19:32.943 --> 00:19:33.777 align:center
Yes.

00:19:34.528 --> 00:19:37.239 align:center
So, you <i>were </i>upstairs!

00:19:38.615 --> 00:19:40.575 align:center
No, I was downstairs.

00:19:40.659 --> 00:19:42.202 align:center
<i>Well, I was very confused.</i>

00:19:42.286 --> 00:19:44.705 align:center
I had been drugged to calm my nerves.

00:19:44.788 --> 00:19:48.083 align:center
I had just walked in on my father
and stepmother murdered--

00:19:48.166 --> 00:19:50.377 align:center
Don't lie to me, Lizzie.

00:19:52.379 --> 00:19:54.006 align:center
You may have been drugged,

00:19:55.465 --> 00:19:57.676 align:center
but you weren't confused.

00:19:59.636 --> 00:20:01.346 align:center
You're just a bad actor.

00:20:02.347 --> 00:20:03.807 align:center
What on earth do you mean?

00:20:03.890 --> 00:20:06.268 align:center
See? Not buying it.

00:20:07.769 --> 00:20:08.937 align:center
I know you did it.

00:20:10.981 --> 00:20:13.692 align:center
And I know you had your reasons.

00:20:15.193 --> 00:20:17.404 align:center
I saw how they treated you.

00:20:18.322 --> 00:20:20.741 align:center
Your beast of a stepmother.

00:20:22.284 --> 00:20:24.578 align:center
Your alcoholic of a father,

00:20:24.661 --> 00:20:29.124 align:center
and <i>that </i>was reason enough,
as far as I'm concerned.

00:20:32.127 --> 00:20:35.839 align:center
I sensed your rage
the moment I laid eyes on you.

00:20:35.922 --> 00:20:39.634 align:center
It's what… drew me to you.

00:20:41.470 --> 00:20:44.806 align:center
Do you know who I based
my most recent triumph on

00:20:44.890 --> 00:20:50.103 align:center
when I slayed them as Lady M
in the great Scottish play?

00:20:51.396 --> 00:20:55.025 align:center
Do you know who I based my performance on?

00:20:56.777 --> 00:20:57.611 align:center
You.

00:20:59.363 --> 00:21:04.368 align:center
Mine was a Lady M
of quiet, burning, indignant anger.

00:21:06.203 --> 00:21:10.665 align:center
She can't help
but push her husband to act,

00:21:10.749 --> 00:21:14.878 align:center
as she is so stifled
as a woman in a world of men,

00:21:14.961 --> 00:21:19.633 align:center
she herself is desperate to murder.

00:21:27.224 --> 00:21:29.893 align:center
If I don't teach you a few tricks,

00:21:32.062 --> 00:21:33.563 align:center
you're going to burn.

00:21:36.024 --> 00:21:38.402 align:center
I don't want that for you, and…

00:21:40.237 --> 00:21:41.947 align:center
I don't want that for me.

00:21:44.825 --> 00:21:47.994 align:center
You are the most famous woman
in the world, and

00:21:49.162 --> 00:21:51.665 align:center
I intend to be just as famous.

00:21:53.834 --> 00:21:55.252 align:center
If I save you,

00:21:56.169 --> 00:21:57.671 align:center
will you help me do that?

00:21:59.047 --> 00:22:00.465 align:center
Be my patron?

00:22:01.550 --> 00:22:02.884 align:center
My benefactor?

00:22:12.936 --> 00:22:13.979 align:center
Yes.

00:22:21.486 --> 00:22:22.946 align:center
Lesson one.

00:22:23.655 --> 00:22:27.242 align:center
You must learn to make an entrance.

00:22:27.868 --> 00:22:29.703 align:center
As you walk into the room,

00:22:29.786 --> 00:22:33.665 align:center
as the trial of the century begins,

00:22:34.207 --> 00:22:38.044 align:center
let them see… a lady.

00:22:38.753 --> 00:22:43.675 align:center
You don't deserve to be here,
but you're <i>glad, </i>as it is your opportunity

00:22:43.758 --> 00:22:47.512 align:center
to show every man, woman, and child

00:22:47.596 --> 00:22:51.224 align:center
what a great lady looks like.

00:22:53.768 --> 00:22:54.769 align:center
Begin.

00:22:57.355 --> 00:22:58.315 align:center
Yes.

00:23:00.609 --> 00:23:01.693 align:center
Again.

00:23:06.281 --> 00:23:08.366 align:center
Guilty. Boo!

00:23:08.450 --> 00:23:09.326 align:center
Again!

00:23:09.951 --> 00:23:11.870 align:center
Back in character, please.

00:23:14.164 --> 00:23:16.625 align:center
A vision of mourning,

00:23:16.708 --> 00:23:19.169 align:center
but you find the courage to carry on.

00:23:19.711 --> 00:23:21.004 align:center
Better. Again!

00:23:33.350 --> 00:23:34.726 align:center
Head down.

00:24:12.472 --> 00:24:15.308 align:center
Better, Lizzie. Better.

00:24:16.768 --> 00:24:18.270 align:center
When you take your seat,

00:24:18.353 --> 00:24:21.690 align:center
<i>it's as if you are alighting</i>
<i>onto a throne.</i>

00:24:22.607 --> 00:24:23.900 align:center
Back straight.

00:24:28.613 --> 00:24:31.908 align:center
Legs crossed, then tucked.

00:24:34.244 --> 00:24:35.787 align:center
Show a little ankle.

00:24:55.682 --> 00:24:57.767 align:center
And once you are seated?

00:24:59.019 --> 00:25:00.645 align:center
Look to nobody.

00:25:01.396 --> 00:25:05.358 align:center
Not to the gallery, not to the judge.

00:25:06.484 --> 00:25:08.111 align:center
<i>Look only</i>

00:25:09.446 --> 00:25:10.739 align:center
<i>to the jury.</i>

00:25:14.576 --> 00:25:16.828 align:center
<i>You're famous, Lizzie.</i>

00:25:18.038 --> 00:25:20.165 align:center
<i>You're not like them, and</i>

00:25:21.207 --> 00:25:22.417 align:center
<i>they know it.</i>

00:25:24.210 --> 00:25:26.713 align:center
Show them it is your pleasure,

00:25:26.796 --> 00:25:30.300 align:center
as a goddess,
to delight amongst mortal men.

00:25:33.094 --> 00:25:34.095 align:center
Turn to them.

00:25:37.891 --> 00:25:39.059 align:center
<i>Smile.</i>

00:25:44.856 --> 00:25:45.982 align:center
Now turn away.

00:25:50.612 --> 00:25:51.988 align:center
Don't regard them again.

00:25:52.947 --> 00:25:54.449 align:center
They have a job to do.

00:26:05.710 --> 00:26:07.212 align:center
Lesson two.

00:26:07.921 --> 00:26:13.843 align:center
Lizzie, they are preparing the skulls
of your father and stepmother as evidence.

00:26:13.927 --> 00:26:15.303 align:center
My bailiff told me.

00:26:16.012 --> 00:26:19.516 align:center
<i>They have been stripped of flesh and gore</i>

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.603 align:center
<i>to show the violence of the axe wounds.</i>

00:26:28.441 --> 00:26:29.317 align:center
<i>Lizzie.</i>

00:26:30.902 --> 00:26:33.113 align:center
When you see the skulls,

00:26:34.030 --> 00:26:35.407 align:center
you must faint.

00:26:40.995 --> 00:26:42.038 align:center
Mm…

00:26:48.128 --> 00:26:53.341 align:center
It's the most sympathetic
and vulnerable thing that a woman can do.

00:26:53.967 --> 00:26:57.512 align:center
It suggests to the jury
that you are innocent.

00:26:58.179 --> 00:27:02.934 align:center
If you can't stand the sight of it now,
how could you have done it then?

00:27:03.476 --> 00:27:06.438 align:center
How could you have kept chopping?

00:27:29.127 --> 00:27:30.170 align:center
No!

00:27:30.253 --> 00:27:31.796 align:center
Too theatrical.

00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:33.423 align:center
It must look

00:27:34.340 --> 00:27:35.300 align:center
real.

00:27:40.263 --> 00:27:42.015 align:center
When one faints,

00:27:42.098 --> 00:27:46.478 align:center
one's whole organism goes… limp.

00:27:47.353 --> 00:27:48.313 align:center
Again!

00:27:51.316 --> 00:27:52.192 align:center
Again!

00:27:53.777 --> 00:27:54.903 align:center
No!

00:27:54.986 --> 00:27:57.906 align:center
Be loose at the knees like a puppet

00:27:57.989 --> 00:28:01.284 align:center
whose strings have been cut and fall.

00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:03.912 align:center
Better.

00:28:03.995 --> 00:28:05.371 align:center
Pow!

00:28:10.585 --> 00:28:11.628 align:center
Yes!

00:28:11.711 --> 00:28:12.921 align:center
That's the one.

00:28:24.974 --> 00:28:27.936 align:center
I must apologize
for what you're about to see.

00:28:28.478 --> 00:28:29.729 align:center
But I assure you,

00:28:29.813 --> 00:28:33.691 align:center
the spectacle
is an utmost necessity to my case.

00:28:36.110 --> 00:28:37.904 align:center
Gentlemen of the jury…

00:28:42.450 --> 00:28:45.286 align:center
this is what she did.

00:28:52.210 --> 00:28:53.670 align:center
Stand back!

00:28:53.753 --> 00:28:55.171 align:center
She is a murderer.

00:28:55.255 --> 00:28:56.756 align:center
Order!

00:28:56.840 --> 00:29:00.677 align:center
Lizzie Borden is a liar!
I ask that you send her to her death.

00:29:00.760 --> 00:29:02.637 align:center
Order!

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:06.432 align:center
This woman should not be
allowed to roam free to murder again.

00:29:06.516 --> 00:29:07.350 align:center
Order!

00:29:07.433 --> 00:29:10.228 align:center
We have proven
without… a shadow of a doubt

00:29:10.311 --> 00:29:13.106 align:center
that Lizzie Borden murdered
her parents in her home.

00:29:14.691 --> 00:29:17.360 align:center
- Please!
- Order! Order!

00:29:18.027 --> 00:29:22.156 align:center
- Madam? Give her some room.
- Sir! I'm sorry. This woman is a liar!

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.576 align:center
- Is there a physician?
- She should be put to death.

00:29:24.659 --> 00:29:25.743 align:center
Are you okay?

00:29:25.827 --> 00:29:27.453 align:center
I'm all right. I'm all right.

00:29:27.537 --> 00:29:30.039 align:center
Is there a physician in the courtroom?

00:29:30.123 --> 00:29:34.168 align:center
Third, Lizzie, and this is important.

00:29:36.170 --> 00:29:38.298 align:center
You can't take the stand.

00:29:39.132 --> 00:29:42.260 align:center
So you must show them just once

00:29:43.511 --> 00:29:46.097 align:center
that you <i>are </i>flesh and blood.

00:29:48.892 --> 00:29:51.060 align:center
You must cry, Lizzie.

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:55.440 align:center
Right. Of course.

00:30:02.780 --> 00:30:03.907 align:center
No!

00:30:05.033 --> 00:30:08.036 align:center
Someone has taken an axe

00:30:09.037 --> 00:30:10.997 align:center
and cleaved you open.

00:30:12.582 --> 00:30:17.420 align:center
Start low, like a great golden goose

00:30:17.503 --> 00:30:21.466 align:center
dipped into a lake of fire!

00:30:24.052 --> 00:30:28.681 align:center
The prosecution calls
Emma Borden to the stand.

00:30:37.190 --> 00:30:38.232 align:center
Miss Borden.

00:30:39.734 --> 00:30:43.696 align:center
You are estranged from your sister,
are you not?

00:30:56.834 --> 00:30:58.086 align:center
Miss Borden?

00:31:00.338 --> 00:31:01.547 align:center
Are you not?

00:31:27.281 --> 00:31:29.033 align:center
Miss Borden,

00:31:29.742 --> 00:31:31.119 align:center
are you not

00:31:31.995 --> 00:31:34.747 align:center
estranged from your sister?

00:31:58.104 --> 00:32:00.106 align:center
That is entirely untrue.

00:32:00.982 --> 00:32:03.609 align:center
There is no one closer
to my sister than I.

00:32:04.444 --> 00:32:05.862 align:center
And she is innocent.

00:32:08.072 --> 00:32:09.782 align:center
- Your Honor…
- Order!

00:32:09.866 --> 00:32:12.493 align:center
She couldn't have killed our father
and Mrs. Borden.

00:32:12.577 --> 00:32:14.287 align:center
…may I have a moment with my client?

00:32:14.370 --> 00:32:17.373 align:center
I saw a man try to break into our house
the week before the murders.

00:32:17.457 --> 00:32:20.376 align:center
A terrifying, pale man with an axe.

00:32:20.460 --> 00:32:23.337 align:center
And two little children
saw this man the day of the murders.

00:32:23.421 --> 00:32:24.881 align:center
Where <i>are </i>these children?

00:32:24.964 --> 00:32:27.133 align:center
Why not bring them here
instead of torturing

00:32:27.216 --> 00:32:29.260 align:center
the very victims of this man's crimes?

00:32:29.343 --> 00:32:31.304 align:center
Your Honor, please.

00:32:31.387 --> 00:32:34.932 align:center
And as for the sinkers,
this fishing trip was my idea.

00:32:35.016 --> 00:32:35.933 align:center
But this, this…

00:32:36.017 --> 00:32:39.353 align:center
I told Lizzie that she and I
should go fishing that very week.

00:32:40.271 --> 00:32:43.483 align:center
I did. And, and, and…
And would she please do me the favor

00:32:43.566 --> 00:32:46.861 align:center
of trying to find these sinkers
that… that I knew were outside?

00:32:46.944 --> 00:32:48.071 align:center
But-- No!

00:32:49.197 --> 00:32:52.742 align:center
This contradicts
your sister's sworn inquest.

00:32:52.825 --> 00:32:54.911 align:center
My sister was drugged.

00:32:54.994 --> 00:32:56.996 align:center
Morphine gave that inquest.

00:32:57.080 --> 00:32:59.082 align:center
Why do you accuse her?

00:32:59.165 --> 00:33:01.959 align:center
What are you talking about?!

00:33:02.043 --> 00:33:04.712 align:center
Your Honor, a moment, please?

00:33:07.173 --> 00:33:11.094 align:center
This is not at all
the discussion we had behind closed doors.

00:33:13.513 --> 00:33:15.139 align:center
Order!

00:33:15.223 --> 00:33:16.933 align:center
Order!

00:33:17.016 --> 00:33:19.393 align:center
May we have a recess, Your Honor?

00:33:56.514 --> 00:33:58.933 align:center
Well, we heard both sides.

00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.686 align:center
Let's get an idea of where we stand.

00:34:02.520 --> 00:34:04.355 align:center
Who votes to convict?

00:34:06.983 --> 00:34:07.859 align:center
To acquit.

00:34:09.318 --> 00:34:11.654 align:center
There's just no way
a woman could have done that.

00:34:11.737 --> 00:34:12.572 align:center
- Yeah.
- Mm-hm.

00:34:12.655 --> 00:34:15.408 align:center
Well, I think it was a Portuguee.
Had to be.

00:34:15.491 --> 00:34:17.368 align:center
When can we get alcohol again?

00:34:19.203 --> 00:34:23.791 align:center
Well, I feel we can't just…
call the judge right back in.

00:34:25.001 --> 00:34:27.587 align:center
Let's sally forth
and continue playing, men.

00:34:29.130 --> 00:34:30.298 align:center
For an hour.

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:51.819 align:center
Has the jury reached a verdict?

00:34:55.740 --> 00:34:57.325 align:center
We have, Your Honor.

00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:07.001 align:center
And when they read out the verdict,
do exactly as I say.

00:35:07.793 --> 00:35:10.296 align:center
Miss Borden, please stand.

00:35:23.392 --> 00:35:25.895 align:center
In the case
of <i>The Commonwealth of Massachusetts</i>

00:35:25.978 --> 00:35:28.731 align:center
<i>versus Lizzie Andrew Borden,</i>

00:35:30.858 --> 00:35:34.195 align:center
how does the jury find the defendant?

00:35:42.578 --> 00:35:46.791 align:center
Let the winds of victory fill your sails,

00:35:46.874 --> 00:35:50.670 align:center
and blow away every mote of resentment.

00:35:51.712 --> 00:35:55.925 align:center
You must be gracious and grandiose.

00:35:57.510 --> 00:35:59.345 align:center
We find the defendant…

00:36:14.527 --> 00:36:15.778 align:center
…not guilty.

00:36:51.564 --> 00:36:53.357 align:center
And to the jury,

00:36:54.358 --> 00:36:57.862 align:center
make sure you vary the inflection.

00:36:58.821 --> 00:37:00.406 align:center
I wish you <i>well.</i>

00:37:01.407 --> 00:37:03.326 align:center
I wish <i>you </i>well.

00:37:10.708 --> 00:37:11.959 align:center
I wish you <i>well.</i>

00:37:14.086 --> 00:37:15.379 align:center
I wish <i>you </i>well.

00:37:18.174 --> 00:37:19.800 align:center
I wish you <i>well.</i>

00:37:21.427 --> 00:37:22.803 align:center
I wish you well.

00:37:33.272 --> 00:37:35.358 align:center
I wish you <i>well.</i>

00:37:37.109 --> 00:37:38.361 align:center
I wish you well.

00:37:39.862 --> 00:37:40.946 align:center
I wish you well.

00:37:49.622 --> 00:37:51.540 align:center
How will I ever repay you?

00:37:53.125 --> 00:37:55.586 align:center
Just… repay me.

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.482 align:center
This court is adjourned.

00:38:34.500 --> 00:38:36.419 align:center
Lizzie Borden should hang on a rope!

00:38:36.502 --> 00:38:38.254 align:center
It's just wrong! Wrong!

00:38:38.838 --> 00:38:41.173 align:center
This is impossible! Lies!

00:38:43.509 --> 00:38:45.553 align:center
Whoo-ha!

00:38:48.389 --> 00:38:49.390 align:center
Step aside!

00:38:51.684 --> 00:38:53.227 align:center
Give her some room!

00:38:58.607 --> 00:38:59.608 align:center
What is this?

00:38:59.692 --> 00:39:01.777 align:center
Flash powder. Those are photographs.

00:39:02.361 --> 00:39:04.321 align:center
- For me?
- Yes.

00:39:05.281 --> 00:39:08.284 align:center
Miss Borden has time
for just a few questions.

00:39:08.367 --> 00:39:10.369 align:center
- How does it feel?
- What will you do now?

00:39:18.210 --> 00:39:20.880 align:center
I want to say thank you to you all.

00:39:22.131 --> 00:39:26.343 align:center
I'm relieved and heartened to see
that justice was done today.

00:39:27.136 --> 00:39:30.264 align:center
The tragedy done unto my family
can never be undone.

00:39:31.932 --> 00:39:36.145 align:center
But perhaps now my sister and I
can usher in a season of healing.

00:39:37.313 --> 00:39:38.814 align:center
And kindness.

00:39:39.398 --> 00:39:41.275 align:center
For people and for animals.

00:39:44.737 --> 00:39:46.405 align:center
That's what I'd like to do now.

00:39:47.823 --> 00:39:52.203 align:center
To begin the project of making
my heart and soul and home a place

00:39:52.286 --> 00:39:55.456 align:center
where no living creature need feel fear.

00:40:03.672 --> 00:40:04.632 align:center
Thank you all.

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:07.259 align:center
Lizzie.

00:40:26.737 --> 00:40:28.447 align:center
Boo!

00:41:04.108 --> 00:41:05.317 align:center
Lizzie.
