Women's Hell - Season 1 Episode 1
Transcript
00:21I'll put a spell on you
00:32What kind of person are you looking for?
00:35A rich wife with a hundred grand
00:37In return, I got lots of trade
00:38Who could resist that?
00:40Someone who is put together
00:42Highbrow and well-mannered
00:44I'm just not sure how to phrase it so that
00:48So only men respond to it
00:51Beautiful woman seeks husband
00:53What she lacks in money
00:55She makes up for in elegance and femininity
01:00I don't mind an ugly broad so she don't cheat
01:03Applications along with a photo
01:05Should be sent
01:10To Miss Pretty as a Picture
01:12Oh wow
01:16To the King of Hearts
01:22All right, get these ready for print, Mr. Keimel
01:24Will do, ma'am
01:38Jump, jump, jump
02:06Which one?
02:08Her, Sousa
02:13Go on, scram
02:16Let's go
02:17Are you deaf?
02:18Outside
02:21Come on
02:29Bite down hard, kid
02:33Grab the table
02:34Grab the table and don't let go
02:45You'll be all right
02:55I love you
02:56I love you
02:58I love you
02:59I love you
03:00I love you anyhow
03:01And I don't care
03:03If you don't want me
03:05I'm yours right now
03:10Ah, you hear me
03:11I'll put a spell on you
03:38Are you here about an ad?
03:55Oh, another one?
04:08About three months ago
04:10I ran a personal ad and a man replied to it
04:14I only knew him by his pen name
04:17Pure hearted young
04:20After corresponding, we arranged a date
04:22And at our first meeting
04:24I was then raped by him
04:31I confide this horrible secret in you
04:33Hoping you will ensure that this man
04:35Does not make further acquaintances with other women through your magazine
04:41There's no name, right?
04:44Just pure hearted young
04:47Look in our files for anyone by that name
04:49Oh
04:55Patient is thirty years old
04:58Multiple births
05:00Which we can tell by
05:03Mr. Heckman
05:05Come, the vagina won't bite you
05:07Come
05:11I see some scarring from perennial tears
05:17Urethral damage from many births is my assumption
05:21Well, here
05:24Now, let me see what we've got here
05:29No, Mr. Heckman
05:35Palpation, please, if you would
05:40We have a closed cervix
05:45Rather enlarged uterus
05:46She's pregnant
05:48What?
05:49Past the first trimester
05:50No, doctor
05:52I can't be
05:53Good, Heckman
05:54Mr. Yedritsky
05:56You're gonna walk us through a natural delivery
05:59You can get dressed, ma'am
06:02Careful
06:03Careful
06:05Please, doctor
06:07My husband lost his job
06:09I have seven kids to feed
06:10My youngest can't walk
06:14If you don't help me, I might as well jump in front of a train
06:17I'm not a real doctor yet
06:19I'll pay
06:22Miss, abortion is an illegal procedure
06:25I'll speak with Dr. Labeda
06:27Come tomorrow night, okay?
06:29My shift begins at 8
06:30Mr. Heckman
06:31I'll try to convince him
06:34Face presentation, please
06:41Doctor
06:44What is it?
06:46You know this won't stop her
06:48Some butcher will gladly do it
06:49And he'll use some smoke for the job
06:52And make her my problem
06:54We always see them again
06:56Poor woman
06:57Not even 30, but clearly unwell
07:01It'd be breaking the law
07:02But I could help her
07:06Every doctor has his own personal graveyard
07:09You'll learn that soon enough
07:11If this patient were rich, we wouldn't be hesitating, would we?
07:17There's so many idealists in school
07:19Then they end up and vanish after graduation
07:26When did you last have a proper meal?
07:29How about you go home?
07:31Take that pretty sister of yours to Angler's for dinner
07:34I've got a table there
07:36Go have some fun
07:38For once
07:44Kochan Novich, you finally gonna settle down one day?
07:46Don't count on it, ma'am
07:47Modern marriages don't have to mean the end of fun and adventure anymore
07:52Take Miss Chivicka for one
07:54And boy
07:55Eva
07:57Archive the correspondence, please
08:00Mr. Kimear
08:01Um, yep
08:02Printing now
08:06Eva
08:13Marks, I'm going to Hezbo's with Eva
08:15Oh, Mr. Boy Zelensky
08:20Good morning
08:22Good morning
08:25A beautiful progressive woman like yourself must surely have views on women's rights
08:29My wife is in charge of the ads
08:31You write about women's rights
08:33Listen to this
08:36A washerwoman from Jelich killed her five-month-old, smothering it with soil
08:41The court sentenced her to hang
08:43She had 12 kids at home
08:45That justifies murder?
08:47Well, it doesn't
08:48But I believe it makes us complicit if we don't fight for birth control
08:52Men want to fight for contraception?
08:55Women should choose for themselves, not the legal system
08:58About what?
08:59If it's better to kill a child before or after birth?
09:03Darling, you should go
09:04Don't want to be late
09:06It's a sensitive topic
09:07And really not for us
09:09We focus on marriage here
09:15As you see, it's a touchy subject
09:18And stirs up people's emotions
09:20Women do this to themselves
09:22If I could only make them aware
09:23But
09:25Strong emotions are our bread and butter here
09:27I mean, with your talents and mine
09:29We can stir up all the emotions we want
09:32So you're saying you'll run the article?
09:35If it's for progress, I'm on board
09:38I knew you were a stand-up guy
09:43Did I mention I'm a writer, too?
09:52Stop it, don't be so nervous
09:54We do have Pure Hearted Jan in the files
09:57Oh, you checked?
09:59Looks like he's only replied to just one ad so far
10:03A man named Pure Hearted?
10:05It's clearly a fake name
10:07It's the one he gave
10:10The girl's name is Zizana Heckman, but
10:14Can we believe her story?
10:17It'd be best if Uncle Max handled it, don't you think?
10:20Don't worry about it right now
10:21She could just be a liar
10:23Eva
10:23Some guy dumped her and now she wants to destroy his and our reputation
10:27Please
10:27I mean, what if our clients find out that he...
10:30Then I'll handle them
10:31Focus, your big day's coming up
10:33Look how pretty you are
10:36I'll die of boredom with Ludovic
10:38Just sitting at home
10:41And would Bruno give you the life that you want?
10:44How do you...
10:48We're just friends and...
10:51He lends me books sometimes
10:56Well, I hate to burst your bubble
10:59But those passionate, sensual moments tend to fade over time
11:12Elena?
11:15Auntie?
11:17Elena!
11:19Someone help!
11:39Yeah, she's so messy.
11:45Susa.
11:48Your big brother's taking you out.
11:53Susa, you sleeping?
12:30Susa. Susa, Susa.
12:40Susa.
12:54Darling, I'm home.
12:57Sorry I'm late, had to grab a drink.
12:59With boy, what a stand-up guy. We had a great time.
13:08Well, it sounds to me like you, sir, will have to start leaving the office earlier.
13:13It's such a perfect night out. I walked all the way here and had this little tune dancing around in
13:20my head.
13:56I have a little surprise for you, too.
13:59What kind of surprise?
14:03For quite some time now...
14:05For quite some time, you thought I was a genius.
14:10Uh, for quite some time now, my head's been feeling all dizzy.
14:20And today I had a bout of nausea.
14:25I didn't want to say anything earlier and jinx it.
14:29So does that mean...
14:33Oh, sweetheart.
14:35Oh, my son.
14:43Your daddy loves you.
14:46And if it's a girl?
14:47And if it's a girl, she'll be as beautiful as her mother.
15:04Mademoiselle Zizi.
15:07You knew the deceased superintendent?
15:11She was a dancer.
15:14Her legs were incredible.
15:17What a shame.
15:18A week? I've basically been living at the clinic.
15:21I just came home.
15:30Emile Heckman.
15:32She's my sister.
15:34Well, it would appear your sister committed a serious crime, Mr. Heckman.
15:38You practice at Dr. Labadell's gynecology clinic, don't you?
15:44If I'd performed it, she would still be here, sir.
15:48Please, write that down.
15:50Add that this only happens thanks to this backwards legal system.
15:53And both of you are complicit.
15:55Take that statement.
16:03I didn't even know she was pregnant.
16:06Let me guess.
16:07You didn't know she danced in burlesque shows as Zizi either?
16:11She was a ballet dancer.
16:13She studied with Felicia Adamovich.
16:16Sure, kid.
16:23The autopsy will be crucial, but I'm sure you're aware, Mr. Heckman.
16:27I'll cooperate.
16:30Just don't go skipping town.
16:50You may get dressed, ma'am.
16:53Well, doctor, any good news for us?
16:58I'm afraid there's no pregnancy.
17:04I'm very sorry.
17:09Well, what about the dizzy spouts?
17:11She told me she was faint and nauseous.
17:13A bad reaction to arsenic, that's all.
17:15Well, I recommend you to discontinue it, and let's change the treatment.
17:19Or maybe change our doctor.
17:21Another year of your efforts, and we still have nothing to show for it.
17:25Professor, I'm 34 years old.
17:27We don't have time to waste.
17:29Here.
17:33There is a new procedure
17:37that I recommend
17:39for infertile women
17:42where we would implant a donor ovary
17:44in the abdominal wall.
17:48A donor?
17:49I'm not sure I understand.
17:52Transplants from the deceased
17:53are the future in medicine, ma'am.
17:56The method isn't fully proven yet,
17:58but neither are many other breakthroughs
17:59now widely used in medicine,
18:01such as X-rays or insulin, for example.
18:07But you would be transplanting it
18:09and putting it in my body?
18:11Oh, not me, no.
18:13But we can bring Dr. Voronov from Paris
18:15and he would perform it.
18:17A brilliant specialist
18:18and believer of this method.
18:20He's done hundreds of such procedures.
18:23How soon?
18:24Max.
18:26Darling, please.
18:28We'll discuss it at home
18:29and get back to you.
18:40I don't want to argue.
18:42I'll drive you home.
18:43I still have things to take care of.
18:45What could be more important?
18:51I'm so exhausted.
18:52I've been taking arsenic for months.
18:54I'm so tired.
18:56I have to rest, Max.
18:57Then quit the editorial job.
18:59But I love my job.
19:02So then are you giving up?
19:09This procedure is risky.
19:11Do you really want this for us?
19:15I wanted children.
19:17With you.
19:20But if you're not sure anymore...
19:22I am.
19:23Are you?
19:23Mm-hmm.
19:25Then prove it.
19:30Yes.
19:33Part of the Warsaw Preston.
19:36Start.
19:38First day, Mr. Lee.
19:40Part of the Warsaw Preston.
19:43Come on, come on.
19:44Come on, come on.
19:44The newspaper's here.
19:46Come on.
19:50Come on.
19:51Come on.
19:53Come on.
20:05Come on.
20:10Emile Heckman, what are you doing here?
20:13Can we talk somewhere?
20:18Is Zizi feeling any better?
20:20We all miss her at school.
20:22She's been absent six months.
20:25And no one's heard of you there.
20:26Just ask Zuzsa.
20:31Well, Zuzsa's dead.
20:44You're lying.
20:48Fela, what the hell did you do?
21:13Here.
21:17This was our dressing room.
21:20We danced together here for six months.
21:24Wow.
21:27Give him a little quickie or I will...
21:29Oh, get lost, Manka.
21:31I said beat it!
21:33Beat that way.
21:34Get out!
21:55You got her into this.
21:56She wanted this life.
21:58Oh, really?
21:59Why'd she never tell me about it?
22:01Would you have let her perform if she did?
22:03She wanted to tell you once we made it.
22:05This shithole isn't where you make it.
22:08Fela, move it, will you?
22:10Jeez.
22:11Where'd Ord Dernovna start?
22:13In Polenegri?
22:15Zizi always dreamed of acting and singing in the movies.
22:23Help me.
22:33Any idea who the father was?
22:37She only told me what she cared to tell me.
22:40Now get out of here.
22:42Lev will kill me.
22:43Lev?
22:45Lev?
22:46Lev?
22:48Lev?
22:49Lev?
22:49Lev?
22:50Lev?
22:51Lev?
22:53Lev?
22:58Oh, look who decided to wander in at this hour.
23:00I'm sorry.
23:01Apologies.
23:02Apologies.
23:04What's going on?
23:05Seriously?
23:09What do you want?
23:11You little shit?
23:19Get the fuck out of here!
23:23Which one of you drank a man in here?
23:25I'm sorry.
23:26I'm sorry.
23:27I'm sorry.
23:49I'm sorry.
23:57Let me serve you something.
23:59Did my husband say when he'd be back?
24:01Oh, he just said not to wait for him.
24:06Tell him I said the same when he shows up.
24:08cuando jobber.
24:27I started working for警察 to coordon him out of 9 a.m.
24:33I didn't ask him.

28:51No.
28:52I never had that.
28:54Come on.
28:57Are you really switching from tires to condos?
29:03My dear brother, I told you to throw out those slippers.
29:07You're just jealous.
29:09Okay, okay.
29:10Hold that.
29:11Oh, thank you.
29:12Take this.
29:13All right, let me see.
29:14Yeah.
29:17Your heart will break before one of our super sturdy Eros Ultras ever will.
29:23We guarantee it.
29:25Rubber products, Ludvig Apostolovich and company.
29:28It has to be written in bold.
29:29Although, I mean, 15 bucks a box?
29:34For only three to a pack, that's pricey.
29:40Give me a discount and I'll give you one too.
29:43For God's sakes, boys, there's women in the room.
29:46You know, Mom, any taxi driver will sell you one for just one Zlotti.
29:52Eva.
29:53They buy them from the clerks and resell them to passengers.
29:58Hmm?
29:58In cigarette packs so no one notices.
30:01Jesus Christ.
30:02Just a Zlotti?
30:03Mm-hmm.
30:03How would a young lady know what those drivers do?
30:07Mom, why don't you bring your aunt a cup, sweetheart?
30:10Looks like the help is slacking.
30:15How do you feel this morning?
30:18My sister told me.
30:20I'm glad.
30:22Oh, yeah?
30:23Yes.
30:24Glad about what?
30:25Vodanov will help you have your baby.
30:27He's at the top of his field.
30:29You're in good hands with him.
30:30Well, I won't be needing this anymore.
30:42Excuse me.
30:46Helena, hold on.
30:48Where are you going?
30:51That must have been some strong opium.
30:53Because I don't remember agreeing to having a dead woman's ovary put inside of me.
30:57Professor Vodanov and Dr. Labedad.
31:00I'm going to charge an arm and a leg.
31:01I won't put my body through it.
31:03And what's your backup?
31:04You won't be a goddess forever.
31:07Max is in his prime.
31:08Eventually, he'll find someone younger than you.
31:11You're a hypocrite, you know that.
31:12I'm a woman, too.
31:13For us, it's better to die than stop being alive.
31:19Auntie?
31:21Ludwig's told me to go to the office and collect my things.
31:24I approve.
31:25What gives you wrinkles?
31:27Auntie!
31:33Did you hear about the Heckman girl?
31:36Who?
31:36You know, the letter, pure-hearted Jan?
31:39Well, she's dead.
31:45How do you know that?
31:47I read it in today's paper.
31:49She was a fallen woman.
31:51Died from an illegal abortion.
32:00Time to go home, Mr. Heckman.
32:02The doctor hates sleepyheads.
32:04Why didn't you wake me before?
32:06Was I supposed to?
32:08I was expecting a patient.
32:09Katarzyna Gavron.
32:10Pregnant?
32:11I was up all night.
32:12I tell you, no one came.
32:19Katarzyna Gavron, 29 years old.
32:21Another back-alley abortion.
32:23Every year, I autopsy 200 women who underwent abortions.
32:27And died from acute blood infection.
32:30And that's just a fraction of them, superintendent.
32:57Here it is, Susanna Heckman.
33:21A young artist seeks love and will fulfill the dreams of a middle-aged man.
33:26Someone cultured, intelligent, and kind.
33:29She seeks a kindred spirit.
33:30Someone she can share the rest of her life with.
33:33Courageous.
33:49What is this about?
33:53Sorry, ma'am.
33:54Uh, I'm looking for Mrs. Vroblezka.
33:58Editor Vroblezka.
33:59You found her.
34:01To post an ad, you need to...
34:02No, I'm here for work.
34:03Though, if you can find me one, I wouldn't mind a rich husband.
34:10Hanka Stilovna.
34:16Helena Vroblezka.
34:20I'm sorry, but...
34:22Who hired you and in what capacity?
34:25Max Vroblezki.
34:27As the new assistant.
34:28Mm-hmm.
34:31Ten walc jest dla Ciebie, mamu.
34:38Chcę, żebyś zawsze mił.
34:43Ten walc w tę noc to wszystko, co.
34:48Ten walc i słowa Ciebie kocham.
34:53Do gwiazd na sumie się, mam mił.
35:01Chcę, byś tej nocy o nas wciąż mił.
35:06O walcu na uszym w moich ramionach, o gwiazd bezsadnych.
35:13Hey, what is this?
35:16Just playing a song, sir.
35:18Yeroshi, what is this?
35:23It was written by that man over there.
35:26Maximilian Vroblezki.
35:28That's his name.
35:29How much do we pay him to choose a different career?
35:32He promised us free advertising.
35:35In a marriage magazine.
35:42Well.
35:48So, unfortunately, unfortunately, Mr. Vroblezki,
35:53we can't include your waltz in our new program.
35:58But it's just that we already have a piece very similar to it.
36:03Written by our very own literary director, Mr. Julian Tuvim.
36:07Oh, really?
36:09I can't afford to be ruffling Mr. Tuvim's feathers.
36:13He has pull with all the critics in the city.
36:16They destroy us.
36:17Please relay this to Mr. Tuvim.
36:19Yes?
36:20That I have quite a bit of pull, too.
36:25And I'm not afraid to use it.
36:35Eva.
36:38What are you doing here?
36:44I'm here because I...
36:49want you to have this.
36:55Eva.
36:56I can't accept it.
36:58I'm Jewish.
36:59Keep it.
37:00Please take it.
37:02It was a present.
37:04My mom got it to protect me,
37:06and now it'll protect you.
37:08I hope you're happier with your decision.
37:12I just need to convince my husband to let me come back here.
37:16I wouldn't let you convince me.
37:20Marriage is just a formality.
37:23Everyone does it.
37:24It'll be all right.
37:27Eva.
37:29I believe in one true love.
37:32In marriage.
37:34I want a family with you.
37:36I don't want to have to share you with someone else.
38:02Don't leave me, Bruno.
38:04I don't know.
38:06I'm sorry.
38:08I'm sorry.
39:09What matters is boy will be there.
39:11I'll run his article and he'll handle Tuvim for me.
39:16Max the Heckman girl is dead.
39:18The one who ran an ad in our magazine.
39:23Someone intentionally went through and destroyed her and her attacker's files.
39:26We've gotten mixed up in a crime.
39:27We run ads. Simple as that.
39:29They pay and we run them.
39:30Tell me, did you remove her ad from our files?
39:31Why does it matter?
39:33Best not stick your nose where it doesn't belong.
39:35We're shielding him.
39:36It's discretion, my dear. It's what we do best.
39:42And if there's another victim?
39:47If you're that upset, you could always quit.
39:53Go get ready.
40:15Ladies and the few gentlemen...
40:18Oh, excuse me.
40:19In Varza alone, an estimated 20,000 miscarriages occur each and every year.
40:25Nationwide.
40:26It may be 200,000.
40:28And that's a conservative estimate.
40:30It's likely to be more.
40:31This is probably Scott.
40:32Evening.
40:33Doctors estimate that as many as half end in the women's death.
40:37The Conscious Motherhood Clinic is meant to make women more aware of all the options to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
40:46Because some are better off prevented.
40:48This is the beginning of an awareness campaign to decrease preventable deaths.
40:53Bravo, boy!
40:54Bravo, boy!
41:00In this effort, we are helped by remarkable people, like Dr. Justyna Buditska-Tanis-Glano and Dr. Hermann Rubinreich.
41:12I'm also proud to present our social activists from the medical school, Ms. Helena Wojnaryska.
41:19And Mr. Emil Heckman.
41:24Mr. Heckman?
41:26Are you here with us?
41:31Emil Heckman.
41:38Doctor, do you mind if I say a few words?
41:40You have the floor.
41:47Her name was Zuzanna.
41:53She was 17.
41:56And she died after a botched abortion.
42:02What's this about?
42:03Where were we then?
42:06Where were you all when my sister was bleeding to death?
42:09At some ceremony?
42:11With more empty rhetoric?
42:12Sipping champagne?
42:14Saying meaningless slogans?
42:15Telling each other how virtuous we are?
42:18We spout bullshit about birth control and contraception, about fighting ignorance.
42:24This is what your brother was talking about.
42:26What did any of us really do to prevent what happened to Zuzsa?
42:30And to your sisters, right?
42:32You all pat yourselves on the back.
42:36For pitying the suffering of others.
42:38How compassionate you are.
42:41Bravo.
42:43You should be proud.
42:45Especially you, doctor.
42:48It's your specialty, after all.
42:55Hold this.
42:56Helena.
42:57Helena!
42:58I don't understand what this stuff had been talked about.
43:10Mr. Heckman!
43:12Mr. Heckman!
43:13I know what happened to your sister.
43:16That's him.
43:17A man raped her.
43:20Come with us, Mr. Heckman.
43:21Who are you?
43:22Helena!
43:23Hey, what are you...
43:23Stop!
43:24Let go of him!
43:24Helena!
43:25What are you doing to him?
43:26Take him to arrest for aborting the pregnancy of your sister.
43:28What are you doing, son?
43:30It wasn't me!
43:32Take him.
43:37I didn't do it!
43:39Find that bastard!
43:41I didn't do this!
43:42Yes!
43:43Sir, I told you.
44:23I had a告 Harold
