00:00A reader.
00:03In order to understand how the very thought of a casual killing
00:06might have permeated our home in the country,
00:10it is first very important to understand the times that we'd lived in.
00:30Miss? Miss?
00:35God damn, it's hot.
00:37It feels hot in here, you feel it?
00:38Huh?
00:39It's hot.
00:39Oh, no, my darling.
00:41I call it kind of brisk.
00:42Are you catching something?
00:43God damn it, please.
00:44Don't fucking contradict me like that.
00:46That's Bill Fosa.
00:47The loony one.
00:48I was merely clarifying,
00:50which I should not have done.
00:52And that was wrong of me.
00:53It was wicked, Harry.
00:54And I'm sorry for that.
00:55Just a simple clarification?
00:57Yes, I don't think so.
00:57Is that it? That's fabulous.
00:58You fucking cunt.
01:00I was merely clarifying my love.
01:01No, no, no, you're a good girl.
01:03You're a good fucking girl.
01:04Will somebody please take my fucking coat?
01:07It's bloody boiling in here.
01:08God damn it.
01:09Come on.
01:10Harry.
01:11What?
01:11What about mother?
01:12We can't leave her here.
01:13Have her meet us at the fucking table.
01:15Okay, well, she needs help, Harry.
01:16Then fucking help her.
01:18Okay.
01:20Suck my cock.
01:20Jesus.
01:30What the fuck?
01:33Oh.
01:35What the fuck are you looking at?
01:38Evelyn Nesbitt.
01:39Come on, come on.
01:39Nothing could prepare her for the fame and notoriety that would befall her a mere hour later.
01:45Lovely Harry.
01:46Huh?
01:46I said, this is wonderful.
01:48I've never seen a real life camel before.
01:49No, it's a big fucking camel too.
01:51Yeah.
01:52From an early age, she was a model.
01:55If you can call it that.
01:57Can you pull your shirt off your shoulder, darling?
02:01Lower my bed.
02:02Lower.
02:02Could you hike up your dress?
02:04Hike your skirt up a bit.
02:06Could you bend over and touch your toes?
02:12Poor girl was a workhorse.
02:15But it wasn't enough to support both Evelyn and her widowed mother.
02:18I know I'd love to perform like this someday.
02:22The fuck did you just say?
02:23She would marry Harry Thaw out of desperation.
02:27Not love.
02:28He would put a roof over her head.
02:30And in return...
02:31Harry.
02:32Hello, darling.
02:33Hi.
02:33You're not meant to be here.
02:35Meant to be here.
02:35No, no.
02:36You're my wife.
02:36She had promised her virginity.
02:38No, no, no, Harry.
02:38No, stop it.
02:39Harry, Harry.
02:40Not yet, not yet.
02:41I'm not ready.
02:42You're not ready.
02:43No, no.
02:44What do you mean you're not ready?
02:45I'm not ready.
02:46I'm sorry.
02:46You're my wife.
02:47I know.
02:47I'm sorry.
02:48Harry.
02:49Look, let me just...
02:50No, Harry.
02:51No, get off me.
02:54Damn it.
02:54I'm sorry.
02:57I'm sorry.
02:57Stop it.
02:58Stop it.
02:58Harry, stop it.
02:59You're scared of me.
03:00Stop it.
03:03Harry, stop.
03:08I'm sorry.
03:12I'm sorry.
03:16I'm sorry.
03:20Yeah, it's okay.
03:22Forgive me.
03:22I'm sorry.
03:23I forgive you, my love.
03:26Soon.
03:28Soon.
03:29Sam, so you're mine.
03:31I'm yours.
03:32Soon.
03:34Good night.
03:35Good night.
03:38The only problem,
03:40Evelyn Nesbitt was not a virgin.
03:45Not even close.
03:47And Harry Thaw was not her first benefactor.
03:57Good evening, Evelyn.
03:58My dear.
03:59Good evening, Stanford.
04:02Excuse me, who the fuck are you?
04:06Mr. White.
04:07Stanford White.
04:08The architect of Madison Square Garden.
04:10So?
04:12Excuse me?
04:13I said so.
04:14I understood the word, just sincerely confused by the context.
04:18The context is escaping you?
04:19Is that what you're...
04:20Forgive me.
04:21Um, Harry, I didn't introduce you.
04:22This is, um, this is Stanford White.
04:24He's a very good, um, an old friend of mine and my mother's.
04:28He knew me since I was a child.
04:29We're very close friends.
04:30Yeah, you said that already.
04:31You're repeating yourself now.
04:32Did I?
04:33Yeah.
04:34Oh.
04:35And who might you be?
04:37I'm her husband.
04:38Yeah, that's right.
04:40I'm her fucking husband.
04:41Yes.
04:41Harry, please.
04:42Yes, you said that.
04:43Seems you're repeating your song.
04:45Oh, you're a smart guy.
04:45Well, enjoy the evening.
04:46Harry, he's not, he's not.
04:47Harry, Harry, come on.
04:49I love you.
04:49What's up in there?
04:50No, let's go home.
04:51Let's spend the night together.

11:51this is no accident i mean god do you read the papers
11:56it's just sensationalism at its finest darling
11:58yeah sensationalism at its finest
12:00we know harry walked right across the room
12:03and he just shot him in front of the whole ballroom
12:08it's not that it was a shock to me because i am the first to say that harry belongs in a ward
12:13i was his wife okay but
12:18it wasn't the craziest part
12:22do you know what harry said
12:23he said before he shot him
12:27in front of everyone
12:28in front of a room full of status
12:31you do not need to reenact this darling
12:33harry held the gun out to here
12:35and he points it at me
12:37and then he points it back to stanford and he says you ruined her stanford
12:43you ruined her in every which way
12:46he said that he said you ruined her in every which way
12:51i mean as if i need the whole city knowing that i had been with stanford white in every which way
12:57wasn't much of a surprise to the city darling
13:00you know he raped me
13:01it was a raping i mean look in the conventional sense of the word i
13:06what's the unconventional i didn't mean to be with him for anything more than just money
13:10you can even ask mummy she was right there in the room when it happened
13:14isn't that right mummy
13:16she was in
13:19yes
13:19the room
13:20and i would wake up aching from the waist down every morning and so eventually i just thought that
13:25it's okay you're safe now and you can stay here as long as you like
13:28what's your name
13:31mrs henry
13:34have you ever been taking up the asshole while you were sleeping mrs henry

30:26Let us say our prayers.
30:36I'm grateful tonight for our bed and for the food we eat and the clothes we wear.
30:47I'm sorry, Lily.
30:57I'm sorry.
31:02But really, I am grateful for the stage because one day I will be a great big stage actress
31:13and everyone will love me, Mother.
31:19They will all love me.
31:28Look, we don't want any trouble.
31:32My husband is a man of his word and as are the men who vouch for him.
31:37And at this very moment, he's in his room.
31:40He's in our safe.
31:41He's counting out your bills.
31:43The bills?
31:54Yes, he's counting out your bills.
31:56And, uh...
31:57Shush.
31:58He has the bills.
32:02Yes, yes, yes, he has the bills.
32:17I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
32:19Well, if we all survive the night, you...
32:22you may just very well be able to claim those bills as your own.
32:26Me shabey rathaboseidu, shabey rathaboseidu, shabey rathabiyako.

32:34Oh.
32:35Oh.
32:36Oh.
32:37Oh.
32:38That is...
32:39That is a great relief.
32:41Lily?
32:59What are you doing?
33:10Writing my sonata.
33:26A huge relief.
33:28Yes.
33:39I love you
34:09Even if we don't have Paris
34:39We still have this
34:41You know my sister
35:00Is an artist
35:02Yeah
35:03She's a sculptor
35:05Or
35:06I don't know
35:07Something in a physical form
35:09And
35:09She goes to shows
35:18Across the country
35:19And
35:19You know
35:20That's a really
35:20Very very different world
35:22From this
35:22And I guess I'm just
35:23Trying to say that
35:25No, no, no, no
35:28Well, I understand the life
35:31Of a struggling artist
35:33I guess that's what I'm trying to say
35:34The embarrassing life
35:37Of Edgar the God
35:39Say no more
35:42No
35:42Shouldn't be ashamed
35:44You value art above everything else
35:49And
35:49I admire that
35:52I think there's something
35:54Rather romantic about it
35:56What did you say?
35:57I am
35:58I said
36:06The
36:08Embarrassing life
36:10I think
36:11No, no, no
36:16The other bit
36:16Could it have been true
36:19That the man painting
36:21My poodles
36:22Was in fact
36:23One of the most
36:26Acclaimed impressionists
36:28Of all time
36:29The very same impressionist
36:34Who would sit
36:35Shoulder to shoulder
36:36With the likes of
36:37Renoir
36:37Pizarro
36:38And Monet
36:39The fifth setter
36:41Your head could take up
36:57Where?
37:09What have they done to you?
37:13The world is cruel
37:15To old men
37:16And yet
