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.
04:55Let's go home.
04:55I plucked your eyes with three cherries on a swing.
04:59Enjoy the show.
05:00Harry.

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

13:14isn't that right mummy
13:16she was in
13:19yes
13:19the room

21:48Am I right?
21:51Yes.
21:53He's been paid.
21:56He wasn't serious about the money bit.
22:00Because he's been paid.
22:03You know, Harry, he used to withhold my allowance
22:08until I let him, you know, lick my inner thighs
22:13while I was chained to the bedpost.
22:18On that illustrious note, I shall retire to my quarters.
22:23Good evening, ladies.
22:26Marian.
22:28Good evening.
22:33All righty, then.
22:38Artists, painters galore.
22:39This just in.
22:40A new gang's in town, and they're called the Impressionists.
22:44Making a ruckus across the pond,
22:45these painters are bucking tradition
22:46and painting outside of the studio.
22:49Cafés, landscapes, ballerinas.
22:51Get your Impressionist painting today.
22:53Shipping to America.
22:54Available on the Mauritania while room remains.
23:09Why did you lie, Mr. Henry?
23:12I didn't lie.
23:14I don't lie.
23:16You told them that I had been paid.
23:19You told them that it was a silly joke.
23:22Mrs. Henry,
23:25you don't think that they're gonna embarrass me
23:29when I get up there for the trial?
23:30Because admittedly, all this talk of truth makes me nervous.
23:41Have you not had the rumors?
23:44Monsieur Henry,
23:46I do not take kindly to Swindler's.
23:50What the fuck you're talking about?
23:52Some fucking painter.
23:53Peter?
23:57Yes.
23:59For you?
24:00Perhaps?
24:01The Grimmery Bear?
24:20Young woman.
24:21You have done nothing wrong,
24:25and you have nothing to be embarrassed about.
24:29You don't actually believe that, do you?
24:31Help me!
24:33Somebody help me!
24:34Excuse me.
24:35Somebody help me!
24:37Norman!
24:38Norman!
24:39Are you alright?
24:40I'm alright.
24:41Norman!
24:42I think...
24:43I think you were right.
24:44What about?
24:45What?
24:46I think he's some sort of murderer.
24:48I think he's Jack the fucking Ripper, I think.
24:51We just gotta give him the money, get him out of here, please.
24:53Norman, you just said that you'd already paid him.
24:55I did.
24:56Is that right?
24:57I did, I did, I did.
24:58Norman.
24:59I said that, I said that.
25:00Yes, yes.
25:01Okay, Norman.
25:02I'm sorry I said that.
25:03Shh, shh, shh, shh.
25:04Norman, you have to go back to your room.
25:06You have to go to the safe.
25:07You have to prepare the bills.
25:08We will handle this together.
25:09I know.
25:10I know.
25:11I don't think...
25:12I don't think we have the bills.
25:16How many do you think you have, Norman?
25:19I don't know.
25:20I don't know.
25:21You don't know.
25:22Well, you had better check.
25:23Norman, you had better check right now because you commissioned a painting that has already been completed.
25:30The appraiser hasn't been here yet.
25:32Fuck the fucking appraiser!
25:33It's a fucking portrait of a fucking pool, you fucking fuck!
25:38Marion.
25:39Don't leave me buried.
25:40Please.
25:41Oh.
25:42Anyway.
25:53Artis?
25:54I know you can hear me.
25:55I certainly know that you are capable of following instructions.
25:59Don't you dare walk away from me?
26:02You accosted my husband under the Henry roof!
26:05Under the Henry roof!
26:07My husband.
26:08Your husband, he owes me money!
26:10So what?
26:11Loads of people owe money!
26:13I just...
26:17That's no excuse for this kind of degradation.
26:20Look, my husband is a very sensitive man.
26:24And he really tries his best.
26:27And I, for one, believe that he has been misunderstood in this particular instance.
26:32No.
26:33No, no.
26:34There's been no misunderstanding.
26:35I am to be paid for the work that I have done, for the work that has been completed,
26:38for the work that sits in the corner facing the wall in shame because it has not been appraised as such!
26:45Oh.
26:46Oh.
26:47Oh.
26:48Oh.
26:49Oh.
26:50Oh.
26:51Oh.
26:52Oh.
26:53Oh.
26:54Oh.
26:55Oh.
26:56Oh.
26:57Oh.
26:58For fuck's sake.
26:59Oh.
27:00Don't scare me like that.
27:02You don't know what I've been through this evening.
27:17Do not lecture me on the burdens of your life.
27:19I'm sick of hearing about you and catering to you.
27:22You made promises to me first.
27:23Shut up.
27:24You made promises.
27:25Shut up, shut up, shut up.
27:26You made promises to me.
27:27What are you talking about?
27:32You ever pull a stunt like that again, and you will find yourself bludgeoned.
27:38Hmm.
27:39In what sense?
27:42In the physical sense, sir.
27:45I am a trained boxer.
27:48You are a woman.
27:52Yes, I am.
27:55I am a woman.
27:58I expected more from you.
28:01Yeah.
28:02Most do.
28:05Do not treat me like an endless seal up here in a linen pantry while the stent are running
28:10up for me.
28:11Shut up!
28:12Ah!
28:13Fuck!
28:14You talking about Evelyn Nesbitt?
28:17You think I'd be stupid enough to sleep with Evelyn Nesbitt?
28:21You see what her husband did to the last one?
28:24You know what I see before me?
28:25What?
28:26I see a failed, miserable, greedy old artist who's so lost and blind that he can only follow
28:33the scent of money.
28:37And, well actually that's absolutely fine by me.
28:40But just don't bring your ideas of truth and purpose into this house.
28:44That's just dangerous and it's just, it's bullshit.
28:47You will send me back to Paris to star in Les Saisons or Accapella or I will...
28:57I will...
28:58What?
29:00You will what?
29:01I found you on the streets.
29:10You're nothing more than a pickpocket.
29:13Who can spend?
29:14Ah!
29:15I'm sorry.
29:16Oh God.
29:17I'm so sorry, Lily.
29:18I don't want to be.
29:19I'm sorry.
29:20I'm sorry.
29:23Oh, God.
29:27I'm so sorry, Lily.
29:30I don't want to be. I'm sorry.
29:33I don't want to be. I'm sorry.
29:37I don't want to be. I don't want to be.
29:41Clementine, I've been lost and gone forever.
30:11Oh, my dear, dear girl.
30:26Let us say our prayers.
30:32I'm grateful tonight for our bed.
30:40And for the food we eat and the clothes we wear.
30:45Mm-hmm.
30:54I'm sorry, Lily.
30:56I'm sorry.
31:03But really, I am grateful for the stage.
31:07Because one day, I will be a great big stage actress.
31:13And everyone will love me, Mother.
31:15They will all love me.
31:17Look, we don't want any trouble.
31:30My husband is a man of his word, and as are the men who vouch for him.
31:36And at this very moment, he's in his room.
31:40He's in our safe.
31:41He's counting out your bills.
31:53The bills?
31:54Yes, he's counting out your bills.
31:56And, uh...
32:01Shit.
32:02He has the bills.
32:11Yes, yes, yes.
32:12He has the bills.
32:13I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
32:19Well, if we all survive the night, you may just very well be able to claim those bills as your own.
32:26Oh, well, that is a great relief.
32:41Lily?
33:07What are you doing?
33:10Writing my sonata.
33:11Uh, uh, uh, uh, huge relief.
33:28Yes.
33:29Mm-hmm.
33:31Mm-hmm.
33:33Mm-hmm.
33:33Mm-hmm.
33:35Mm-hmm.
33:37Mm-hmm.
33:39Mm-hmm.
33:41Mm-hmm.
33:43Mm-hmm.
33:45Mm-hmm.
33:47Mm-hmm.
33:49Mm-hmm.
33:51Mm-hmm.
33:53Mm-hmm.
33:55Mm-hmm.
33:57Mm-hmm.
33:59Mm-hmm.
34:01Mm-hmm.
34:03Mm-hmm.
34:05Hmm, hmm.
34:15Hmm, hmm.
34:19Hmm.
34:21Hmm, hmm, hmm.
34:26Hmm, hmm, hmm.
34:29Even if we don't have Paris, we still have this.
34:42You know, my sister is an artist, yeah, she's a sculptor, or I don't know, something in
35:08a physical form, and, um, she goes to shows across the country, and, you know, that's a really
35:20very, very different world from this, and I guess I'm just trying to say that, um, well,
35:30I understand the life of a struggling artist, I guess that's what I'm trying to say.
35:34And the embarrassing life of Edgar Degas, hmm, I'll say no more.
35:42No, you shouldn't be ashamed.
35:46You value art above everything else, and I admire that, and I think there's something
35:54rather romantic about it.
35:56What did you say?
35:57I am Shaddaa!
36:00I am Shaddaa!
36:05I said, uh, the, um, embarrassing life, I think.
36:14No, no, no, the other bit.
36:16Could it have been true that the man painting my poodles was, in fact, one of the most acclaimed
36:27impressionists of all time?
36:29Yeah.
36:31The very same impressionist who would sit shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Renoir, Pizarro,
36:38and Monet, the viscetor.
36:56Your head could take up.
36:57Where?
36:58What have they done to you?
37:13The world is cruel to all men.
37:17And yet?
