TVTranscript
00:01My husband, Norman Henry, was a good man, generally speaking.
00:12But he was also a man riddled with insecurities.
00:15You heard of Thomas Edison?
00:16What are you due for supper?
00:17Anyone here know a chap by the name of Mark Twain?
00:20Self-doubts.
00:21I see how she looks at you.
00:23My wife!
00:25And fear.
00:32Fear that the world was constantly laughing at his every move.
00:36This fear was not unfounded.
00:41You see, when he was just a boy, the world did just that.
00:50You're off-key.
00:52He's off-key.
00:54We've practiced this part over a hundred times.
00:57But some students are simply more gifted than others.
01:01And that's okay, Norman.
01:03Oh, darling, we're not done.
01:08Let's try it again.
01:10I'll admit my husband has a flair for the dramatic.
01:25Whether he was actually laughed at that day or not is quite beside the point.
01:40I'm really sorry about that.
01:41I'm really sorry about that.
01:42As if you already didn't have enough to worry about.
01:43I'm really sorry about that.
01:44Now you're the laughing stock of the entire congregation.
01:46I'm really sorry about that.
01:47I'm really sorry about that.
01:48It's fine.
01:49It's fine.
01:50We can't be good at anything.
01:51Well, maybe he can be good at something.
01:52I'm sorry about that. I'm really sorry about that. I'm really sorry about that.
01:56He would spend his life yearning for approval from a father who would offer him nothing in return.
02:07It's you who's embarrassing us. You know that, don't you?
02:11I'm really sorry about that.
02:12I didn't know it then, but the day I met Norman Henry was not one week after his father had died.
02:20Leaving him with nothing but a fragility he would never be able to overcome.
02:31Fuck.
02:32Of course.
02:34You couldn't be any stupider.
02:37Mormon, you really just could not be.
02:39Excuse me.
02:42That's not a very polite way to speak about yourself.
02:46Oh, hi.
02:47Hi.
02:47I'm sorry.
02:50Was I bothering you?
02:52I didn't think anybody would be here.
02:54Well, they told me nobody would be here and that I could just let myself in through the side door.
02:58Am I bothering you?
02:59You're not bothering me.
03:03I'm not a robber.
03:05Well, how could I trust that statement now?
03:06No, really, really, miss. I promise I'm not. I'm not.
03:09It appears as if you're stealing all the cutlery from the dining hall.
03:12Um, giving it new life.
03:15The cutlery?
03:15It's fallen into neglect.
03:17The cutlery?
03:18Yeah, cutlery, yes.
03:19Oh.
03:20Forks, knives, little spoons.
03:24I, um, I give them renewed purpose.
03:29Oh.
03:33You're an artist.
03:35No.
03:37No.
03:38No, I'm, I'm, I'm an opportunist.
03:41But you, you make little sculptures.
03:44No, I, I, I know a guy that makes little sculptures.
03:47Cutlery?
03:48Out of whatever I give him.
03:49My sister's an artist.
03:54You seem passionate, like an artist.
04:00Yes.
04:02Well, uh, I'm sorry to disappoint.
04:07We didn't, we didn't disappoint.
04:08The thing, the things I get excited by are, they're not exciting.
04:16You're not exciting?
04:19I try not to be.
04:21Having just ended my relationship with a certain fraudulent inventor,
04:25I was intrigued by this humble man who saw beauty in the world and wanted no credit for it.
04:34A beauty that I had hoped he might find again in me all these years later.
04:46This penultimate chapter, dear reader, is as close as we came to falling back in love again.
04:53This penultimate chapter, dear reader, is as close as we came to fall back in love again.
05:23Are you kidding me?
05:24This penultimate chapter, dear reader, is as close as we came to fall back in love again.
05:28Hello?
05:32Herbert!
05:37Herbert!

05:53Will you all shut up?
05:55He was invited.
05:57You wasn't invited.
05:59Oh, I don't work for you, woman.
06:03Oh, for God's sake.
06:07Excuse me?
06:17Who are you?
06:20Replacing the driver, I hope. He's about to die.
06:22A creditor?
06:24He's a lawyer. Says so on his bag.
06:27My occupation and identity are none of your concern.
06:33I am looking for my client's wife.
06:40Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw.
06:42Who?
06:44What?
06:45If you could show me the way to the main house where the real people are.
06:51Okay, so...
06:53Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
06:55Oh, Mrs. Nesbitt.
06:57Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
06:58Mrs. Nesbitt.
06:59Huh.
07:00For the purposes of these legal proceedings, it is preferable for you to identify as your husband's property.
07:07Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
07:08Oh, Mrs. Nesbitt.
07:09Mrs. Nesbitt.
07:10Huh.
07:11Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
07:12For the purposes of these legal proceedings, it is preferable for you to identify as your husband's property.
07:18Ah.
07:19Well.
07:20Okay.
07:21You are the lawyer.
07:22Mrs. I am.
07:23So let us begin.
07:24Mrs. Nesbitt Thaw.
07:25I'm so sorry.
07:26Right now?
07:27Mrs. Nesbitt.
07:28Yes, this very instant we're due back in the city by 4 pm for you to be sworn in.
07:42I'm speaking to you as though I were the prosecution, but rest assured, I am a friendly.
07:47It's merely an act for you to be prepared.
07:51I'm so sorry. What's your name?
07:57Delphine Delmas.
08:04Right, well, um, you see, I have acquired an audience for my dress rehearsal.
08:11And, um, they're all waiting for us.
08:15Waiting for us?
08:18Mm-hmm.
08:41Hello, and welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first and only dress rehearsal for...
09:00The Crime of the Century!
09:05Isn't that good? We worked on that jingle together.
09:12Oh, God, sorry. This is, uh, this is my lawyer, Mr., uh, Mrs. Delphus Finimus.
09:18It's, uh, it's, um, Delphus Finimus.
09:22It's, uh, Delphine Delmas.
09:24Right.
09:25Prickly fellow.
09:26Take a bow!
09:27I'm not your, I'm not her, her lawyer.
09:29Um, ma'am, ma'am, might I have a word?
09:32Okay.
09:33Um, wouldn't you prefer to do this in, uh, in, in private?
09:41Are you sure you don't want to do this in private?
09:46Mr. Delphus, am I not to testify in front of the entire world tomorrow?
09:49It's Delmas, uh, yes.
09:50I think the name is Demas.
09:52Demas?
09:53Yeah, Demas, Demas.
09:54Uh, okay.
09:55It's Delphine Delmas, uh, for those of you who aren't sure.
09:59Uh, ma'am, I do implore you to trust your husband's counsel on this.
10:03I believe that we should find a private suite and rehearse, uh, confidentially.
10:09Oh, Mr. Alphus.
10:12Come now, I trust these people completely.
10:15My friends.
10:19America and the Mert.

10:53Thaw and Nesbitt.
10:54Wouldn't you like that?
10:55I knew you'd understand.
10:56Uh, uh, uh, I'll start from the beginning, I suppose.
10:57Uh, yes, of course.
10:58Um, where were you in autumn of 1901?
10:59Uh, New York City, Manhattan.
11:01Uh, uh, uh, uh, and were you romantically involved with anyone at that time?
11:06Um, you know?
11:07doll and nesbitt wouldn't you like that i knew you'd understand
11:13uh i'll start from the beginning i suppose yes of course um where were you in autumn of 1901
11:23new york city manhattan thank you and were you romantically involved with anyone at that time
11:31yes i was
11:35whom oh um stanford white
12:00could you explain the nature of the relationship to the court please yes of course um stanley and i
12:14loved each other very much for a time he was like a father to mrs thaw isn't it true that
12:17you perform sexual favors for mr white in exchange for cash and gifts and travel
12:28is this not a little crass for public consumption
12:34the real prosecution will try to frame you as a common whore
12:40a whore
12:51why
12:54i mean why would they try to paint such an ugly picture about
12:58a lady like me mrs thaw nesbitt
13:01this is nesbitt thaw did mr stanford white have a studio apartment he kept in midtown with a
13:10velvet swing hanging from a cross beam
13:15yes and is it true that you you would swing naked from the velvet swing
13:23it was all in jest
13:34yes
13:40yes
13:42yes
13:44yes
13:46yes
13:48yes
13:50yes
13:55in autumn of 1901 did mr stanford white not drug you
13:59with your mother in the room and penetrate you through multiple orifices
14:11she was asleep my mother that was not my question
14:15yes yes he did this over and over again day after day month after month and in exchange
14:21he paid for your trips your schooling your apartment your particulars the very definition
14:27of a common whore
14:28oh
14:36well there are many words with multiple definitions you'll find
14:41for example the word i love you
14:43that is something that means a whole lot more to us women than it does to you men
14:46why i'm tired of you did you not turn your attention to mr harry thaw's fortunes in an act of
14:52selfish desperation
14:55i don't seem to know what this has to do with harry shooting a man it's nesbitt
14:59you crafted a surgical campaign to target mr harry thaw to fleece him for cash and gifts and trips
15:08to fleece him like a sheep
15:18don't be smart a smart young lady doesn't play well with the jury
15:24well what definition are you using to define the word smart you see it's all objective isn't it
15:30i traveled to paris at no expense of your own
15:32your mother traveled to paris at no expense of her own
15:40so i must ask what was the currency
15:49kindness
15:52i believe the currency was was companionship and loyalty and friendship
15:59and the trip was a gift from harry
16:08our gifts are no longer acceptable practice from a husband to his wife
16:18yeah is that good
16:20and come to think of it i do believe i know where you're going with this mr ephraim
16:29and it is downright shameful
16:33because my body is and has never been currency
16:37not for gifts for trips or any other thing
16:47it is delmas
16:52you call it companionship and loyalty
16:56i call it sex acts and role play risqué role play for that matter which you performed
17:02in exchange for a home and a life of status so
17:06disguise it as you will mrs thaw but the truth remains
17:12that you reek of putrid desperation
17:16you are as every woman who trolls the lower east side of manhattan between the hours of 10 pm and 2 am
17:23i can smell the rancid stench from here we all can
17:35did you knowingly withhold the fact that you were indeed not a virgin when you met mr harry thaw did
17:39you knowingly withhold this information because you knew that you might be able to swindle him more efficiently
17:46did you in fact steal money from mr harry thaw under the false pretense that you were selling him your virginity
17:52and when he realized that you had been lying to him he had a mental break which caused him to fatally injure mr stanford white
17:58so in fact was it not you mrs thaw who is to blame for the untimely demise of mr stanford white
18:07it is your fault because you are a dirty whore
18:24how dare you how dare you me wasn't it me
18:33oh because i didn't want to sleep with harry i didn't want to sleep with him okay i didn't want
18:44to sleep with him he was a beast and he hurt me and he whipped me and i didn't want to sleep with him
18:50now and i don't and i never will and he knew that because a woman doesn't always need to be explicit
18:59she doesn't okay why the fuck does being a woman always have to be so explicit
19:12do you think i wanted paris well you certainly wanted something i didn't want paris you never
19:17asked me what i wanted i wanted clothes and a bed that i might call my own
19:23and i wanted to stop supporting my whole family but i didn't want paris
19:34then you can all sit here and judge me but i am not a whore i am not a whore
19:42i am a girl i'm just a girl i'm i'm i'm i'm evie mama i'm evelyn

27:26You said you had a sister?
27:30She's an artist.
27:38I don't celebrate either.
27:41But for other reasons.
27:46Ah, yes.
27:47Yes, right.
27:49So, um, are you looking to ask me something?
28:00Well, um, we could not celebrate together.
28:09Okay.
28:13Norman, are you awake?
28:15I don't want to be awake.
28:45All right.
29:06You're okay.
29:08Yeah.
29:09Go back to sleep, Norman.
29:12What's the wrong one?
29:13Nothing.
29:14We're going to be okay.
29:15We're going to be okay.
29:24But unfortunately, this could not have been further from the truth.
29:36Is there two?
29:36Shit.
29:37Shit.

30:10Shit.
30:12Fuck.
30:14Benjamin.
30:15After Evelyn had left, I had this feeling that our situation might improve.
30:27Looking back now, I suppose I was a bit love-struck again.
30:34We had entered a dream-like state, one of companionship and happiness and trust.
30:45All of my experiences, had they led me here, to this moment?
30:57To a moment of grace and love, where my husband might be willing to accept the impossible?
31:05I did not invent the life.
31:07I suppose you know who did.
31:09This secret I had held so deeply within.
31:13I had even convinced myself it was not true.
31:17But for the first time, I had felt like maybe he could hear my truth and set me free.
31:25La paix
31:28La paix
31:39Couchette, couteau, cuillère.
31:54Je sais pas ce que t'attends de moi.
31:58Fox, nice.
32:00While I would grapple with the right moment to confide my secrets to Norman.
32:04Couchette, c'est quelque chose qui va nous ramener à Paris.
32:09Edgar et Lilith étaient grappillant avec la vérité de leur propre,
32:13que ils ne pourraient jamais retourner à Paris.
32:15C'est pas mal, c'est trois jours de marche jusqu'Ã Paris.
32:18C'est inutile de retourner à l'inévitable.
32:22De quoi tu parles ?
32:23Tu n'as pas vous, la façon dont elle m'a regardé, la façon dont elle maintenant.
32:33Oh, t'es obsédée.
32:34C'est un sourd que je le suis.
32:37Je suis artiste.
32:39Elle ne t'aime pas.
32:40Faut qu'elle y soit sur la carte.
32:44Qu'est-ce que tu as de ces sentiments ?
32:47Ou de mes ?
32:49Comment oses-tu de dire mes sentiments ?
32:55Tu ne sais rien.
32:57Comment oses-tu de dire mes sentiments ?
33:04Sous-tu de dire mes sentiments ?
33:07C'est un sourd qui s'est passé avec Edgar's obsessions.
33:11Elle a commencé à peser un peu sur moi.
33:14Comment plus longtemps peux-je protéger mon husband ?
33:16Je ne comprends pas.
33:17De l'inévitable.
33:18Tu ne lis pas très souvent.
33:21Non, je ne comprends pas la hyperbole.
33:23C'est pas hyperbolic.
33:27Tu sais même ce que ça veut dire, ma mère ?
33:29Non.
33:31C'est juste bon pour le moment.
33:32Excusez-moi.
33:42Pardon.
33:43Oui.
33:44Hello.
33:46Adé, Présa.
33:51Oui.
33:52Will he be here today ?
33:53Of course.
33:54I'm not sure.
33:55He said he'd fit it in as he could.
33:58Well, I've been waiting very, very patiently for days.
34:02Very, very patiently.
34:03I would like to go home.
34:04I've been waiting very patiently.
34:06Well, you are still occupied on a project, are you not ?
34:11My wife told me about your portfolio, your work.
34:16Sounds quite exhaustive.
34:19Happy to hear you're intrigued with our ballerina.
34:21Lilith ?
34:22Lilith, yes, Lilith.
34:23No, I've decided against it, which is why I'm here inquiring about the appraisal.
34:30I just said I will no longer be painting a ballerina.
34:36Um, and why very well not ?
34:39What happened to your passions and desires and passions ?
34:47It seems that passion and desires are very, um, fleeting in this house.
34:56Uh, um, they change on a whim.
35:02Like hobbies, oui ?
35:04I beg your pardon.
35:06My wife is nothing of a hobbyist.
35:07It's all right.
35:08No, no, no, quite the contrary.
35:10I know, Mr. Henry.
35:12I know your wife very well.
35:14Um, that's a very inappropriate statement, don't you think, artist ?
35:21Sooner or later, we will all come to terms with this, uh, masque charade.
35:28We will all come to terms with this, with this masque charade.
35:36Masque charade.
35:37Yes, that's it, this is it.

36:10Norman, are you awake?
36:11I hear a sound from your vicinity.

36:47Oh!
36:48Marian, if you're trying to kill me, there are simpler ways.
36:56He was right.
36:57There were easier ways to see him in a box six feet under.
37:01But nothing would come easy for Norman Henry, not even his death.
37:06What I can divulge is that the sword was sharp and the cut was quick and clean.
