Transcript
00:00My husband, Norman Henry, was a good man, generally speaking.
00:19But he was also a man riddled with insecurities.
00:22You heard of Thomas Edison?
00:23What are you due for supper?
00:24Anyone here know a chap by the name of Mark Twain?
00:27Self-doubts.
00:28I see how she looks at you.
00:30My wife.
00:36And fear.
00:40Fear that the world was constantly laughing at his every move.
00:44This fear was not unfounded.
00:49You see, when he was just a boy, the world did just that.
00:58You're off-key.
01:00He's off-key.
01:02We've practiced this part over a hundred times.
01:06But some students are simply more gifted than others.
01:10And that's okay, Norman.
01:12Oh, darling, we're not done.
01:14Let's try it again.
01:18Let's try it again.
01:20I'll admit my husband has a flair for the dramatic.
01:34Whether he was actually laughed at that day or not is quite beside the point.
01:50I'm really sorry about that.
01:52As if we already seem enough enough to worry about,
01:54you are the laughing stock of the entire congregation.
01:56I'm really sorry about that.
01:57It's fine.
01:58I'm really sorry about that.
01:59It's fine.
02:00It's fine.
02:01We can't be good at this.
02:02Well, maybe he can be good at something.
02:03I'm really sorry about that.
02:04I'm really sorry about that.
02:05I'm really sorry about that.
02:07He would spend his life yearning for approval from a father who would offer him nothing in return.
02:19It's you who's embarrassing us.
02:21You know that, don't you?
02:23I'm really sorry about that.
02:25I didn't know it then, but the day I met Norman Henry was not one week after his father had died,
02:32leaving him with nothing but a fragility he would never be able to overcome.
02:45Fuck.
02:46Of course.
02:48You couldn't be any stupider.
02:51Norman, you really just could not be any stupider.
02:54Excuse me.
02:55That's not a very polite way to speak about yourself.
03:00Oh, hi.
03:01Hi.
03:03I'm sorry.
03:04Was I bothering you?
03:06I didn't think anybody would be here.
03:09They told me nobody would be here and that I could just let myself in through the side door.
03:13Am I bothering you?
03:14You're not bothering me.
03:18I'm not a robber.
03:20Well, how could I trust that statement now?
03:21No, really, really, miss.
03:23I promise I'm not.
03:24It appears as if you're stealing all the cutlery from the dining hall.
03:27Um, giving it new life.
03:30The cutlery?
03:31It's fallen into neglect.
03:33The cutlery.
03:34Yeah, cutlery, yes.
03:35Oh.
03:36Forks, knives, little spoons.
03:38I, um, I, um, I give them renewed purpose.
03:46Oh.
03:49You're an artist.
03:52No.
03:53Hmm?
03:54No.
03:55No, I'm, I'm, I'm an opportunist.
03:58But you, you make little sculptures.
03:59No, I, I, I know a guy that makes little sculptures.
04:04Out of cutlery?
04:05Out of whatever I give him.
04:07Hmm.
04:10My sister's an artist.
04:12You seem passionate, like an artist.
04:18Yes.
04:20Well, uh, I'm sorry to disappoint.
04:22You didn't, you didn't disappoint.
04:30The thing, the things I get excited by are, they're not exciting.
04:35You're not exciting?
04:38I try not to be.
04:39Having just ended my relationship with a certain fraudulent inventor,
04:45I was intrigued by this humble man who saw beauty in the world and wanted no credit for it.
04:54A beauty that I had hoped he might find again in me all these years later.
05:01This penultimate chapter, dear reader, is as close as we came to falling back in love again.
05:14I try not to be.
05:44I try not to be.
06:14I don't know.
06:44Hello?
06:56Hello?
07:02Herbert!
07:04Herbert!
07:10Hello?
07:14Hello?
07:16Hello?
07:18Hello?
07:20Hello?
07:22Hello?
07:24Hello?
07:30Will you all shut up?
07:32But he was invited.
07:33He wasn't invited.
07:34Oh, I didn't work for you, woman.
07:36Hello?
07:38Hello?
07:40Hello?
07:42Hello?
07:44Excuse me?
07:46Who are you?
07:48Who are you?
07:58Replacing the driver, I hope.
08:00He's about to die.
08:01A creditor.
08:02He's a lawyer.
08:04Says so on his bag.
08:06My occupation and identity are none of your concern.
08:12I am looking for my client's wife, Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw.
08:22Who?
08:24Uh, if you could show me the way to the main house where the real people are.
08:30Okay, so...
08:44Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
08:46Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
08:48Oh.
08:49Mrs. Nesbitt.
08:51Huh.
08:52For the, uh, purposes of these legal proceedings, it is preferable for you to identify as your...
08:59husband's property.
09:04Uh, well...
09:06Okay.
09:07You are the lawyer.
09:09I am.
09:11So, let us begin.
09:14I'm so sorry.
09:15Right now?
09:16Yes.
09:17This very instant.
09:18We're due back in the city by 4 p.m. for you to be sworn in.
09:20Oh.
09:21How exciting.
09:22I-I will be speaking to you as though I were the prosecution.
09:26Uh, but rest assured, I am a friendly.
09:29It's merely an act for you to be prepared.
09:33I'm-I'm so sorry.
09:34W-what's your name?
09:36Delphine Delmas.
09:39Right.
09:40Well, um, you see, I have acquired an audience for my dress rehearsal.
09:55And, um, they're all waiting for us.
09:58Waiting...for us?
10:01Mm-hmm.
10:02Uh...
10:03Uh...
10:04Uh...
10:05Uh...
10:06Uh...
10:07Uh...
10:08Uh...

10:15Uh...
10:16Uh...

10:25Uh...
10:26Uh...
10:27Uh...
10:28Uh...
10:29Uh...
10:30Uh...
10:31Hello, and welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first and only dress rehearsal for the
10:50crime of the century. Isn't that good? We worked on that jingle together. Oh, God, sorry. This is, uh, this is my
11:07lawyer, Mr. Uh, Mrs. Delphus Finimus. It's, uh, Delphan Delmas. Right. Prickly fellow. Take a bow. I'm not your, I'm not her, her
11:15Laura. Um, ma'am, ma'am, might I have a word? Okay. Um, wouldn't you prefer to do this in, uh, in, in private? Are you sure you don't
11:29want to do this in private? Mr. Delphus, am I not to testify in front of the entire world tomorrow? It's Delmas, uh, yes. I think the
11:39name is Demas. Demas? Yeah, Demas. Demas. Uh, okay. It's Delphan Delmas, uh, for those of you who aren't
11:47sure. Uh, ma'am, I do implore you to trust your husband's counsel on this. I believe that we should
11:53find a private suite and rehearse, uh, confidentially. Oh, Mr. Alphus. Come now. I trust these people
12:03completely. My friends. I make, uh, the melt. Very well.
12:33Mrs. Thaw. Nesbitt. Nesbitt Thaw. Could we switch them, perhaps? Thaw and Nesbitt.
13:00Wouldn't you like that? I knew you'd understand.
13:06Uh, I'll start from the beginning, I suppose. Yes, of course. Um, where were you in autumn
13:14of 1901? New York City, Manhattan. Thank you. Uh, and were you romantically involved with anyone
13:23at that time? Yes, I was. Whom? Oh, um, Stanford White.
13:32Could you explain how this is?
13:38Could you explain the nature of the relationship to the court, please?
14:06Yes, of course. Um, Stannie and I loved each other very much for a time. He was like a father to me.
14:12Mrs. Thaw, isn't it true that you performed sexual favors for Mr. White in exchange for cash and gifts and travel?
14:24Is this not a little crass for public consumption?
14:27The real prosecution will try to frame you as a common whore.
14:37A whore?
14:49Why?
14:49I mean, why would they try to paint such an ugly picture about a lady like me?
14:58Mrs. Thaw.
14:59Nesbitt.
15:01Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
15:03Did Mr. Stanford White have a studio apartment he kept in Midtown with a velvet swing hanging from a crossbeam?
15:14Yes.
15:14And is it true that you would swing naked from the velvet swing?
15:22It was all in jest.
15:52In autumn of 1901, did Mr. Stanford White not drub you with your mother in the room and penetrate you through multiple orifices?
16:04Ha. She was asleep. My mother.
16:15That was not my question.
16:18Yes.
16:19Yes, he did this over and over again, day after day, month after month.
16:22And in exchange, he paid for your trips, your schooling, your apartment, your particulars.
16:27The very definition of a common whore.
16:30Oh.
16:34Well, there are many words with multiple definitions you'll find.
16:44For example, the word I love you.
16:46That is something that means a whole lot more to us women than it does to you men.
16:49And when Mr. White tired of you, did you not turn your attention to Mr. Harry Thaw's fortunes in an act of selfish desperation?
16:59I don't seem to know what this has to do with Harry shooting a man.
17:02That you crafted a surgical campaign to target Mr. Harry Thaw to fleece him for cash and gifts and trips.
17:12To fleece him like a sheep.
17:23Don't be smart.
17:25A smart young lady doesn't play well with the jury.
17:29Well, what definition are you using to define the word smart?
17:33You see, it's all objective, isn't it?
17:35They traveled to Paris at no expense of your own.
17:40Your mother traveled to Paris at no expense of her own.
17:45So I must ask, what was the currency?
17:50Kindness.
17:58I believe the currency was companionship.
18:03And loyalty.
18:05And friendship.
18:08And the trip was a gift from Harry.
18:11Mm-hmm.
18:15Our gifts are no longer acceptable practice from a husband to his wife.
18:18Yeah, is that good?
18:32And come to think of it, I do believe I know where you're going with this, Mr. Ephraim.
18:37And it is downright shameful.
18:39Because my body is and has never been currency.
18:48Not for gifts, for trips, for any other thing.
18:51It is Delmas.
19:01You call it companionship and loyalty.
19:03I call it sex acts and role-play.
19:08Risqué role-play, for that matter, which you performed in exchange for a home and a life of status.
19:15So, disguise it as you will, Mrs. Thaw.
19:19But the truth remains that you reek of putrid desperation.
19:27You are as every woman who trolls the Lower East Side of Manhattan between the hours of 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
19:37I can smell the rancid stench from here.
19:44We all can.
19:45Did you knowingly withhold the fact that you were indeed not a virgin when you met Mr. Harry Thaw?
19:51Did you knowingly withhold this information because you knew that you might be able to swindle him more efficiently?
19:58Did you, in fact, steal money from Mr. Harry Thaw under the false pretense that you were selling him your virginity?
20:04And when he realized that you had been lying to him, he had a mental break, which caused him to fatally injure Mr. Stanford White.
20:10So, in fact, was it not you, Mrs. Thaw, who is to blame for the untimely demise of Mr. Stanford White?
20:20It is your fault, because you are a dirty whore.
20:28How dare you?
20:42How dare you?
20:45Me?
20:47Wasn't it me?
20:48Oh, because I didn't want to sleep with Harry.
20:55I didn't want to sleep with him, okay?
20:58I didn't want to sleep with him.
21:00He was a beast, and he hurt me, and he whipped me, and I didn't want to sleep with him now, and I don't, and I never will, and he knew that.
21:10Because a woman doesn't always need to be explicit, she doesn't, okay?
21:20Why the fuck does being a woman always have to be so explicit?
21:28Do you think I wanted Paris?
21:31Well, you certainly wanted something.
21:32I didn't want Paris, you never asked me what I wanted, I wanted clothes, and a bed that I might call my own, and I wanted to stop supporting my whole family, but I didn't want Paris, and you can all sit here and judge me, but I am not a whore, I am not a whore.
22:00I am a girl, I'm just a girl, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm Evie, Mama, I'm Evelyn, I'm, my name is Evelyn Nesbitt, it's not Thaw, it's Nesbitt, so you, do you hear me?
22:20Delfus, or Dingus, or whatever it is they call you, it's fucking Nesbitt!
22:26We've heard enough.
22:26We've heard enough.
22:33No, no, we're not done, we're not nearly done.
22:36I shall only say it once more.
22:41We are done.
22:43Now.
22:46That performance was pathetic, see how easily she was broken, she is far from trial ready.
22:51I implore you to release this young woman.
23:00I believe the shame felt in this room
23:03is enough for us all.
23:09Man's life hangs in balance.
23:25A murderer.
23:27She is his whore.
23:31That's enough.
23:34That's enough.
23:35That's enough.
24:21Back to work, a lot of you.
24:40Up, back, out.
24:41Everybody out.
24:42Go, go, go.
24:43Go, out, out.
24:51Norman would hold her for hours that day.
25:13Intent on being the parent that neither of them had.
25:22I don't know.
25:50Evelyn had told us that it was common practice for her mother to take long walks, unannounced.
25:57I'm so sorry.
26:01I'm so sorry.
26:03Oh, my darling girl.
26:05She told us to send word when her mother arrived back at the estate, and they'd have Harry's
26:10driver pick her up.
26:18But Mrs. Nesbitt never returned to the house.
26:22I'm so sorry.
26:24Nor would she see her daughter, not ever again.
26:32I do believe after the mock trial, the atmosphere in her home had changed ever so slightly.
26:47A lingering air of forgiveness and gratitude, albeit brief, would blow through with the wind.
26:53I do appreciate your kindness with me these past few days, Mr. Henry.
27:06And you too, Mrs. Henry.
27:20The time has come, Mrs. Nesbitt talk.
27:23Chin up.
27:30Gets better.
27:36Mr. Henry.
27:38You've got nothing to worry about.
27:44I'm the girl on the swing.
27:45I believe you're much more than that.
27:51Yes.
27:53So do I.
28:09All right.
28:12Look, I shall only say this once.
28:14So listen with your hearts.
28:15The next time you see me, it shall be my name in lights.
28:24And when you do, I urge you to remind yourselves as of why.
28:29It is because I will have broken free.
28:36At all costs.
28:40Evelyn Nesbitt would soon see her name in lights.
28:42She would, in fact, fulfill her promise to her mother.
28:58She'd become the most famous in the entire world.
29:01I will be a great big stage actress.
29:04You will have.
29:05And everyone will love me, mother.
29:07They will not love me.
29:08But what she truly desired was unconditional love.
29:12And it was this that would elude her until her dying day.
29:18Evelyn had gifted us a valuable lesson that day.
29:21That our destiny resides solely in our will to break free.
29:31After that speech, really?
29:32So, are you looking to ask me something?
29:45Well, it's just that it's Christmas Eve.
29:52Yeah, well, um, I don't celebrate.
30:02Sadly, my family perished.
30:05Oh.
30:07You said you had a sister?
30:12She's an artist.
30:13I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't celebrate either.
30:23But for other reasons.
30:28Ah, yes.
30:29Yes, right.
30:33So, um, are you looking to ask me something?
30:38Well, um, we could not celebrate together.
30:53Okay.
30:57Norman, are you awake?
31:25Oh.
31:31Oh.
31:32Oh.
31:33Oh.
31:33Oh.
31:33Oh.
31:34Oh.
31:34Oh.
31:35Oh.
31:37Oh.
31:37All right, you're okay.
31:54Yeah, go back to sleep, Norman.
31:58What's wrong?
32:00Nothing, we're going to be okay.
32:03We're going to be okay.
32:07But unfortunately,
32:13this could not have been further from the truth.
32:23C'est tout.
32:34Putain de merde.
32:37We bring you news from the courthouse,
32:46lower Manhattan district,
32:47in the Thaw trial,
32:48where his wife, Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw,
32:50has just taken the stand dressed as a schoolgirl.
32:53Exuding a sense of calmness,
32:55you normally only find in the male persuasion.
32:58But nonetheless,
32:58this reporter could not help but take note of a certain quality
33:01one might find in a silent picture actor.
33:04After Evelyn had left,
33:12I had this feeling that our situation might improve.
33:17Looking back now,
33:19I suppose I was a bit lovestruck again.
33:24We had entered a dream-like state,
33:28one of companionship,
33:30and happiness,
33:32and trust.
33:33All of my experiences,
33:45had they led me here?
33:47To this moment?
33:49To a moment of grace and love,
33:52where my husband might be willing to accept the impossible?
33:55He did not invent the light bulb.
34:00I suppose you know who did.
34:02This secret I had held so deeply within,
34:06I had even convinced myself it was not true.
34:09But for the first time,
34:11I had felt like maybe
34:13he could hear my truth
34:15and set me free.
34:18He could hear my truth.
34:48Who are you?
34:49I don't know what you're waiting for!
34:55But while I would grapple with the right moment
34:57to confide my secrets to Norman,
35:05Edgar and Lilith were grappling with a truth of their own,
35:08that they might never return to Paris.
35:18What are you talking about?
35:19You're not you.
35:21The way in which she looked at me.
35:25The way in which she looked at me.
35:29Oh, you're upset.
35:30Of course, I am.
35:33I am an artist.
35:35She doesn't like it.
35:37You have to be on the list.
35:41What are you,
35:42about your feelings?
35:44Or about mine?
35:46How do you feel
35:48to remove my feelings?
35:52I don't know.
35:55How do you feel?
35:57How do you feel?
36:03This mounting desperation,
36:06paired with Edgar's obsessions,
36:08had begun to weigh heavily on me.
36:11How much longer could I protect my husband?
36:14I don't get it.
36:15From the inevitable.
36:16Well, you don't read very often.
36:19No, I just don't get the hyperbole.
36:24It's not hyperbolic.
36:25Do you even know what that means, Norman?
36:28No.
36:30It just sounded good for the moment.
36:32Excuse me.
36:42Pardon.
36:43Yeah.
36:44Hello.
36:51Yes?
36:52Will he be here today?
36:53Of course.
36:55Um, I'm not sure.
36:56He said he'd fit it in as he could.
36:59Well, I've been waiting very, very patiently for days.
37:02Very, very patiently.
37:04I would like to go home.
37:05I've been waiting very patiently.
37:07Well, you are still, uh, occupied on a project, are you not?
37:12My wife told me about your portfolio, your work.
37:17Sounds quite exhaustive.
37:20Happy to hear you're intrigued with our ballerina.
37:23Lilith?
37:24Lilith, yes. Lilith.
37:25No, I have decided against it, which is why I am here inquiring about the apprisa.
37:33I just said I will no longer be painting a ballerina.
37:38Um, and why very well not?
37:42What happened to your, uh, passions and desires and, and, and, um, passions?
37:50It seems that passions and desires are very, um, fleeting in this house.
37:59Uh, um, they change on a whim.
38:06Like hobbies, eh?
38:09I beg your pardon.
38:10My wife is nothing of a hobbyist.
38:11It's all right.
38:12No, no, no, quite the contrary.
38:14I know, Mr. Henry.
38:17I know your wife very well.
