Short filmTranscript
00:00:12Before the Civil War, New Orleans was unique in all the world, more French than it was American.
00:00:19Races freely mixed, creating a new class known as Creoles, or free people of color.
00:00:25European men were especially enchanted by the exotic light-skinned women of this class,
00:00:30whose ancestors were the children of master and slave, Spanish and French.
00:00:35Big night tonight.
00:00:41Parties were thrown at the old Orleans ballroom, where the Europeans would select the young women,
00:00:47pledge support, raise families with them, yet never marry.
00:00:51One such liaison, that between Jean-Baptiste and Poupon de Lille,
00:00:56produced a daughter whose dreams would change the old Orleans ballroom and her world forever.
00:01:03Au revoir!
00:01:04Au revoir!
00:01:08Au revoir!
00:01:12Au revoir!
00:01:13Au revoir!
00:01:16Au revoir!
00:01:18Au revoir!
00:01:24Au revoir!
00:01:33Grandmama gave it to me
00:01:34To wear on my night
00:01:36For luck
00:01:37It brought me love
00:01:39It will bring you the same
00:01:43Silly
00:01:45Papa
00:01:46Mama has to finish my hair
00:01:48I want you to show me those fancy new steps of yours
00:01:51A reverse, likely
00:01:53As a bird suddenly flies
00:01:55So, one, two
00:01:56I will fly like a bird
00:01:58But I won't have a partner
00:01:59If my hair's a bird
00:02:03Marsheri
00:02:09Chin up, chin up
00:02:10You don't need to see
00:02:11You must trust your partner
00:02:12I'd like to know where I'm going, Papa
00:02:14Then you should not waltz
00:02:16It is the quadril for you
00:02:17Or the poker
00:02:27Bonsoir, Jean-Baptiste
00:02:28Bonsoir, Jean-Baptiste
00:02:30Oh, Rien
00:02:31Late
00:02:32On your sister's night
00:02:34She forgets everything else
00:02:35When she's in the classroom
00:02:36Forgive me, Celie
00:02:38And will you forget next year
00:02:39When it is your turn?
00:02:41I certainly hope so
00:02:43I might not be able to waltz by then anyway
00:02:45Oh, nonsense
00:02:46Nonsense
00:02:48You must stop with your grand opinions
00:02:50It will only upset her
00:02:52I'm not going to say another word about it
00:02:54I'm so dull without you on Sunday dinner
00:02:58Mama didn't eat a thing
00:03:01Well, I, um
00:03:04Only yet
00:03:07Girl
00:03:08Betsy
00:03:09What is that wine I asked for?
00:03:11Sorry, Mr. Jean
00:03:12Don't give me excuses, girl
00:03:14Bring me some wine
00:03:19Papa, was I doing it so wrong?
00:03:22Maybe you will be ready next year
00:03:24If you keep your chin up
00:03:28Chin up, chin up
00:03:33I know you will have a wonderful time, ma chere
00:03:36You look beautiful
00:03:36But you said you would attend with us
00:03:38I wish I could
00:03:39But unfortunately, I have important business
00:03:43Bonsoir, mon amour
00:03:43Bonsoir
00:03:45But, papa, I...
00:03:48Celie, every man there will watch you dance
00:03:50And wish he were your partner
00:03:51By the way, your bird's nest looks lovely
00:03:55A bientou
00:03:56Bonsoir
00:03:58Yep
00:04:13Je vous présente, monsieur Samuel, tout près
00:04:19Enchanté
00:04:25Your father has chosen well
00:04:28Pray for her
00:04:29Pray for love, Henriette
00:04:31A new Collins
00:04:42어�ィ
00:04:42By the defence
00:04:46To the unify
00:04:54Certus
00:04:58This
00:04:59Ч
00:05:02Amelia, I will be with you in the name of the Father, and the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit.
00:05:15Amen.
00:05:16Amen.
00:05:21My mom, why isn't Papa here?
00:05:24Obviously, the business of the plantation is taking longer than expected.
00:05:28Well, he said he was going to be here.
00:05:32Your Papa has not stayed with me for 25 years because I insist that he be here or there.
00:05:38Don't you care?
00:05:40Questions, Henriette, always questions.
00:05:44Ask too many questions and you will drive your man away.
00:05:49Marie is going to meet us at the boat.
00:05:51She's bringing school supplies and Julie and I promised to be there.
00:05:54You'll be very careful.
00:05:56It's dangerous there since the Americans came.
00:06:00Au revoir.
00:06:01Au revoir.
00:06:17Now, we start the bidding.
00:06:19We're going to make it 150.
00:06:21Do I hear 150?
00:06:23Yes, sir.
00:06:24200, anyone?
00:06:25200.
00:06:27Yes, sir.
00:06:28Thank you very much.
00:06:29250.
00:06:30300.
00:06:31300.
00:06:32Yes, sir.
00:06:32Yes, sir.
00:06:33325.
00:06:34325.
00:06:35Can I hear you?
00:06:36Yes, sir.
00:06:39Papa?
00:06:45Were you addressing me?
00:06:47No, sir.
00:06:48I thought I knew the gentleman we were talking to.
00:06:52Did you now?
00:06:53Henriette!
00:06:55Henriette!
00:06:57I thought I just saw my papa.
00:07:00Bonjour.
00:07:01Bonjour.
00:07:02Here's the bread we wanted for Marie.
00:07:05Henriette!
00:07:06Be right there!
00:07:07Can I go to the bar?
00:07:24Would you like some?
00:07:27Give me that!
00:07:28Hey, do it!
00:07:30Give me some!
00:07:32Miss, let me do that for you.
00:07:34No, no.
00:07:37No, no.
00:07:37Miss, it ain't seeming.
00:07:41In a city like this, the masters do nothing?
00:07:45Look at them all!
00:07:46Miss, come on!
00:07:47Oh, yes.
00:07:48Can't work not that.
00:07:49Henriette.
00:07:51Jacques!
00:07:52Get over here!
00:07:54Yes, sir.
00:07:56Don't make me call you twice.
00:07:58Get over there and help Mrs. Morgan with her things.
00:08:01Sorry, ma'am.
00:08:02Let me get toast for you.
00:08:04What am I giving Marie now?
00:08:06Oh, she won't go hungry tonight, Julie.
00:08:09Oh, there she is.
00:08:10Marie!
00:08:13Oh, my God.
00:08:16Excuse me, sir.
00:08:17Would you mind something?
00:08:18Oh, my God!
00:08:23Mom!
00:08:28Hold on, ma'am.
00:08:29I'm coming.
00:08:34Look at him!
00:08:36Oh, no.
00:08:49Apparently, I missed the Delta waters more than I knew.
00:08:52Oh, thank you.
00:08:55So much trouble for such an old maid.
00:08:57Miss, I'd do it again.
00:08:59It's kind of hot out here anyway.
00:09:02Enough of that.
00:09:04It'll go to his head, and I'll get a week of sulking and slow service out of him.
00:09:09Sir, he dove in to save a woman's life.
00:09:11While the rest of you stood by checking your wash fobs.
00:09:14There are laws against Sasser.
00:09:18Better learn that for your own good.
00:09:24Jacques!
00:09:25Clean yourself up.
00:09:26I don't want people thinking that we dress you like that.
00:09:34Looks like Plainsbury and Sardin.
00:09:37How can you make me leave Charleston for this?
00:09:40Look at them, parading around.
00:09:43Give it time, dear.
00:09:44Things are going to change.
00:09:47Well, is anyone else for a swim?
00:09:50Allow me to introduce myself.
00:09:51I am Gerard Gauthier.
00:09:52My parents have just taken up residence in a plantation up near Ponce-Train.
00:09:56Enchanté.
00:09:57I'm Marie Alicott, and these are my good friends Julie Godin and Henriette Delisle.
00:10:02Welcome to New Orleans.
00:10:03Would you do me the honor of allowing me to see you home?
00:10:06We have our own carriage, but thank you.
00:10:08Well, then at least I can carry your things.
00:10:10Well, well, well.
00:10:12The accent's not from the West Indies.
00:10:13I think he's from France.
00:10:14You can always ask him at the ball next week.
00:10:16I'm not going to the ball.
00:10:18But it's been arranged.
00:10:21Oh, I saw my father today.
00:10:23Of course he didn't see me.
00:10:25I don't want that.
00:10:26Not for me, not for my children.
00:10:28I expect you'll be telling your mother soon.
00:10:31She'll understand.
00:10:33Mm-hmm.
00:10:33Ah, you've, uh, he imported rocks?
00:10:36Uh, they're boats.
00:10:38We're teachers at the parish school, and Marie's a missionary.
00:10:41Oh, wonderful.
00:10:42Uh, these, uh, will be difficult to accomplish with dignity.
00:10:47I'm sure you'll be able to manage somehow.
00:10:49Oh, only we shall steadfastly live and encourage my mamas.
00:10:57One, two, three, four.
00:11:00Excellent.
00:11:00That's it for today.
00:11:02Au revoir.
00:11:03Merci.
00:11:06Au revoir.
00:11:07Au revoir.
00:11:08Merci.
00:11:09Au revoir.
00:11:10Au revoir.
00:11:13Oh, hello.
00:11:16Take your seats.
00:11:18Simone.
00:11:19I'm so glad we found you a parish, Father Rousselon.
00:11:22The cathedral seemed, well, full of foreigners.
00:11:24We're glad to find you, Mrs. Morgan,
00:11:26and to have your husband as a warden.
00:11:29Yes.
00:11:30Yes.
00:11:31A catcism class for girls this late?
00:11:33Yes.
00:11:35It's very good, Simone.
00:11:41Slave children?
00:11:43Mrs. Morgan slaves are God's children, too.
00:11:46We are allowed to teach them at night.
00:11:49Henriette.
00:11:51Bonsoir, Father.
00:11:52Bonsoir.
00:11:53Bonsoir.
00:11:53Bonsoir, Father.
00:11:54This is our newest student, Simone.
00:11:56Her father will bring her to church on Sunday.
00:11:59That's my Jacques' daughter.
00:12:01I can read, Father.
00:12:03Very good.
00:12:04Very good.
00:12:05Teaching colors to read requires permission.
00:12:13God is love.
00:12:18Repeat.
00:12:19God is love.
00:12:22Excellent.
00:12:29Henriette, do you have their permission?
00:12:33You know it's illegal to teach slaves to read
00:12:35without their master's consent.
00:12:38How can they learn the catechism unless they read it?
00:12:41How can they truly worship if they can't read the Bible?
00:12:44Do the masters know, Henriette?
00:12:47God knows.
00:12:57God knows.
00:13:18Henriette, what is this I have heard?
00:13:20You are teaching slave children.
00:13:23Do you want to hurt your father?
00:13:25Do you realize he does business with their masters?
00:13:28And the sons of those masters will be attending your ball this week.
00:13:31Maman, about the ball.
00:13:32Do you want them laughing at you behind your back?
00:13:34Do you want them to wash their hands after they finish dancing with you?
00:13:40Henriette, I have asked you a question.
00:13:43Papa?
00:13:48Where did she take you?
00:13:50Okay.
00:13:58No.
00:14:01You will not raid your heart for these white bastards to see.
00:14:16Come on, Henri.
00:14:17She'll blame me if you're not ready.
00:14:20I hate this.
00:14:21You know how much I do.
00:14:24Oh, my mom was right about the green.
00:14:29You love him?
00:14:31Who?
00:14:32Oh, Samuel?
00:14:34Yes.
00:14:36He's promised that we will be together until we're old and crutchy.
00:14:42But you can't marry, Ceiling.
00:14:43What difference does it make if he stays with me?
00:14:47God means us to be married till death parts us.
00:14:50To walk across a square openly as man and wife.
00:14:54Otherwise, we're just being bought.
00:14:56It's like the...
00:14:57I...
00:14:59Rie, think before you speak.
00:15:04What made you think things would be different with us?
00:15:08Jean-Baptiste.
00:15:09You made a promise to me.
00:15:11Was I naive to believe in you?
00:15:13And I've kept my word.
00:15:14I help you raise the girls.
00:15:17Cecilia is taken care of, and now Henriette is well-placed, too.
00:15:20And me, Jean.
00:15:22Me!
00:15:23I must produce legitimate heirs.
00:15:26You knew that.
00:15:27It is something I must do.
00:15:37You will be ravishing.
00:15:39Every man there will hunger after you.
00:15:42And they will envy your gentleman, Paul Cartier,
00:15:45who has assured me he will provide you with the finest of everything.
00:15:51Did he say for how long?
00:15:54And when I see you in the square tomorrow or the next day,
00:15:57will you see me?
00:16:01You are my beloved children,
00:16:03and you always will be.
00:16:06Even if I can't see you again for a long time.
00:16:11I'm getting married.
00:16:16And then you'll leave us.
00:16:20So this is the life you want for me, Maman?
00:16:24I will not go to the ball.
00:16:27I will not meet Paul Cartier.
00:16:29And how do you intend to live if you don't go to the ball, my dear?
00:16:32How will we?
00:16:35If you have not understood things,
00:16:38your papa
00:16:40has just ended our lives.
00:16:42Oh, papa, don't be so dramatic.
00:16:45You can keep the slave and lease her out.
00:16:47And the house, of course, too, as I promised.
00:16:50Well, at least we won't be begging in the square
00:16:53where you and your wife might see us.
00:16:55Papa.
00:16:55Oh, Jean-Baptiste.
00:16:57If this is my house,
00:17:02get out.
00:17:21No, no, no, no.
00:17:23Not now.
00:17:25Cecilia, you fasten your sister's gown.
00:17:27She's right.
00:17:28Let's go.
00:17:29We will be late if we don't hurry.
00:17:51We will be late if we don't hurry.
00:18:01Oh, there is no love here.
00:18:05This is what we do.
00:18:07We have no choices.
00:18:15It was proper.
00:18:17Oh, the cross was spectacular.
00:18:23I am pleased to meet you, Mrs. Paul Cartier.
00:18:30I am delighted, Mrs.
00:18:34Shall we?
00:19:11May I?
00:19:12May I?
00:19:12May I?
00:19:13May I?
00:19:15May I?
00:19:38May I?
00:19:41May I?
00:19:42May I?
00:19:43May I?
00:19:53May I?
00:19:58May I?
00:20:11Monsieur, you took me by surprise.
00:20:13Was there any other way?
00:20:16Monsieur Gauthier, I have made previous arrangements for this one.
00:20:22But don't worry, there are plenty others to choose from.
00:20:26Shall we dance now?
00:20:29I've always understood that a lady could choose her partner.
00:20:33A lady?
00:20:34Monsieur, I am committed to a year's support.
00:20:38Retire.
00:20:40I'm sure your friends used to believe that you were a gentleman.
00:20:45Sir?
00:20:45I'm sorry, maybe I do not understand the way of things in America.
00:20:52Yet.
00:21:01So this is what's to come of my steadfast belief and encouragement, Gérard Gauthier?
00:21:07You saved me.
00:21:08If you had not taken my hand, I would have been committed to a duel at the Orcs.
00:21:12I am sure of it.
00:21:14Some of the men that attend these balls are suspect in character.
00:21:19I suppose that's to be expected.
00:21:23You have nothing to say for yourself?
00:21:25Forgive me.
00:21:27I only came here to look for you.
00:21:31Henriette.
00:21:34May I call on you sometime?
00:21:39Don't look back.
00:21:40Be coy.
00:21:43Good night.
00:21:48What were you thinking tonight?
00:21:50You shamed me, Henriette.
00:21:52Your life is not for me.
00:21:54Oh.
00:21:55My life is not good enough for you.
00:21:58Not good enough for your father.
00:22:00Not good enough for you.
00:22:01I have no say in this.
00:22:03I have no freedom.
00:22:04You get out.
00:22:06You are his.
00:22:07You are just like him.
00:22:09You just get out.
00:22:10Get out, Henriette.
00:22:12Get out of my house.
00:22:15Get out of my house.
00:22:18Get out of my house.
00:22:46Get out of my house.
00:22:48Get out of my house.
00:22:51Get out of my house.
00:22:56Get out of my house.
00:22:58Who's there?
00:23:01Henriette?
00:23:03Are you hurt?
00:23:04I can't live the life I'm supposed to live.
00:23:06I can't pretend.
00:23:08Then you mustn't.
00:23:10Then I can never go home.
00:23:13You are always welcome here.
00:23:16In God's house.
00:23:18God's house?
00:23:20Yes.
00:23:24Everyone's house.
00:23:38There you go.
00:23:41For you.
00:23:45For you.
00:23:49Oh, Marie, we will look at your leg over there.
00:23:55Henriette, may I present Dr. Gérard Gauthier?
00:23:58I said I would pay a call.
00:24:01You have already met?
00:24:04Doctor.
00:24:04I was.
00:24:06I gave it up.
00:24:07Dr. Gauthier is trained in the most advanced medical science, and he has come to help us
00:24:11set up the infirmary.
00:24:13You were given the gift of healing, and you gave it up?
00:24:16For what?
00:24:18I'm sorry.
00:24:19I always ask too many questions.
00:24:23In France, I shared a practice with my uncle, but my patients were so rich, they could have
00:24:30fired God himself to cure them.
00:24:32They certainly did not need me.
00:24:34But you couldn't give it up in your heart.
00:24:36So here you are, helping us.
00:24:39If you will have me?
00:24:41This was your idea.
00:24:44Well, no, I...
00:24:44But Father Rousselon tells me...
00:24:46I just saw a place that would be safe for them.
00:24:49The people of the parish bring food, and Julie, Marie, and I serve it every day to them.
00:24:54So that's where you have been?
00:24:56Here?
00:24:57Oh, I, uh...
00:24:58I called at your cottage more than once.
00:25:01Your sister, Cecilia, is it?
00:25:04She would not give me any information, even when I assured her that my intentions were honorable.
00:25:10She means well.
00:25:12I stay with Julie now.
00:25:15I, uh...
00:25:16I understand your mother is ill.
00:25:19Is there anything I can do?
00:25:21There's nothing the medicine can cure.
00:25:24I apologize.
00:25:26I do not mean to cry.
00:25:29Miss Caley?
00:25:30Miss Caley!
00:25:32That's it.
00:25:32My mom went mad.
00:25:34She tried to hurt herself.
00:25:35I finally got her settled in bed.
00:25:36She was a wild thing.
00:25:37She's screaming and running.
00:25:39Amelia, here.
00:25:41Oh, my mom.
00:25:43She's screaming and running.
00:25:45I don't want to go get Henriette.
00:25:47I don't want to tell her.
00:25:57We'll see you tomorrow, Memo.
00:25:59I'll bring you some pears.
00:26:01I would prefer if you waited a few days.
00:26:04She needs to settle in on her own.
00:26:11Have you seen my little Sasha?
00:26:12Have you seen my little Sasha?
00:26:14They took her, you know.
00:26:15Madame Dorsey, I'm sure these women know nothing about your little girl.

00:38:39mr live
00:38:41that would be fine
00:38:42you're willing to wait
00:38:43what about you
00:38:45what about you
00:38:55I don't know.
00:39:22Good night, sir.
00:39:25Such beautiful hands.
00:39:27That do so much.
00:39:29No.
00:39:30But I want to be with you.
00:39:32To make my life with you.
00:39:36We can't even sit together in church.
00:39:39And I won't be your mistress.
00:39:41What was I thinking could come of this?
00:39:43Henriette.
00:39:44Lisa.
00:39:45In front of all of these people.
00:39:47I ask you.
00:39:52Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?
00:40:02If it were only possible.
00:40:05But it is.
00:40:06In France, we can be legally married.
00:40:09France.
00:40:11But my mother, my sister, the church, my school.
00:40:14We can work together, side by side, a man and his wife in France without this insanity.
00:40:20I can't abandon my people.
00:40:22But what about yourself?
00:40:24What about your happiness?
00:40:26Gerard, Gerard, to be your wife?
00:40:30No, just to say that your wife, it's like a dream come true, but I can't.
00:40:37It means I'm running away.
00:40:40Do not say no just yet.
00:40:41I will wait.
00:40:44As long as you want.
00:40:46I will wait.
00:41:07There's so many out there.
00:41:09Must be the rain.
00:41:11I will wait.
00:41:15I will wait.
00:41:17I will wait.
00:41:17I will wait.
00:41:26I must say, it's most encouraging.
00:41:29We have 20 more today.
00:41:30Welcome them and they will come.
00:41:32We're also working on the free families.
00:41:34Father, you stop bringing too many blacks in here.
00:41:36Collection plate's going to get mighty bad, because no white folks will be feeling it.
00:41:41All colors have worshipped here together for generations, sir.
00:41:44Is that a fact?
00:41:46Well, maybe we better start having two services then, huh?
00:41:53Miss Henriette!
00:41:55That's it?
00:41:56Miss Henriette.
00:41:57You must come quick.
00:41:59Please, Cecilia.
00:42:00Mr. Samuel, there's been an accident.
00:42:18Mr. Samuel's aunt's coming.
00:42:21Ma'am, the hearse is here.
00:42:22You have to leave.
00:42:23We haven't even paid our respects.
00:42:25Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
00:42:26I shouldn't have let you in in the first place.
00:42:29What?
00:42:29But I'm the only family that he has.
00:42:33He hasn't even met his aunt.
00:42:35Miss, please.
00:42:36You have to go.
00:42:38Why?
00:42:38How can they do it?
00:42:39I'm his aunt.
00:42:46Bishop Blanc.
00:42:50I represent the wardens of Father Roussillon's church.
00:42:54Are you aware of what's been going on these last few months?
00:42:58Because it just keeps getting worse, and all you do is nip at the edges.
00:43:05I'm going to catch you.
00:43:07I'm going to catch you.
00:43:19Children, children.
00:43:20Come, come.
00:43:21Come, come.
00:43:23Come, come.
00:43:25Repeat.
00:43:27A, B, C.
00:43:32Etienne, why are these lay workers wearing habits?
00:43:37They donated their wardrobes to the needy, and simply chose to dress in a uniform more
00:43:42practical for their work.
00:43:43The wardens want to put a stop to all this work.
00:43:48These women are bringing this parish to life.
00:43:51We must refuse.
00:43:53I have.
00:43:54For now.
00:43:56But it's rumored Rome will denounce slavery.
00:44:01Our position is precarious with the Americans.
00:44:04They want the school closed.
00:44:05They want you out.
00:44:07And I see you've started an infirmary.
00:44:15Many of those we helped return to Mass on Sunday.
00:44:19The church is filling up.
00:44:22With abandoned slaves.
00:44:29What they are doing is so clearly God's work, and we may not be able to protect them.
00:44:39Oh, oh no, not this one, too.
00:44:42You can't give away your ball gown.
00:44:43That one more than any other.
00:44:45No, I'll keep it.
00:44:48You've been speaking with Betsy about freedom.
00:44:51You're giving away all your clothes.
00:44:52And next will be this cottage, and where will that leave me and my children?
00:44:55There is no worry.
00:44:57God will care for us.
00:44:58And my mom?
00:45:01We'll pray for her.
00:45:04Everything Samuel left to the children, our children, will be giving to his white family.
00:45:10Is that how God answers your prayers?
00:45:19After I have this baby, it would seem that I will have to attend a ball.
00:45:24Because I'll need to find someone to take care of us.
00:45:27I hope I look as bewitching as you were when I wear green.
00:45:34Are we taking all these bands?
00:45:36And this one, too?
00:45:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:45:46Miss Henry.
00:45:47I came as soon as I heard.
00:45:48It's bad, Miss.
00:46:05She came too soon.
00:46:07Gonna die here in my arms, and that'll be the end of this.
00:46:12Miss, I give up on your God.
00:46:14Papa, is she here?
00:46:17Ask her.
00:46:18I don't want none of this.
00:46:19Bedtime my baby before she die.
00:46:22I can't baptize the child.
00:46:25I'll send for Father Rousselon, but she might die before then.
00:46:30There won't be time.
00:46:33Please, sister.
00:46:36Please.
00:46:53Heavenly Father, bless this water with your spirit and make it holy.
00:47:00Heavenly Father, what name do you give this child?
00:47:03Henriette.
00:47:11Henriette, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
00:47:22She's safe now.
00:47:37Your baby has a chance to survive.
00:47:39You did the right thing.
00:47:40There wasn't time to ask for permission, was there?
00:47:44What if my prayers don't work?
00:47:46No, no, it was right.
00:47:48You changed the world for them tonight.
00:47:50Oh, Gerard, I felt it.
00:47:51I felt it.
00:47:52I really did.
00:47:53You changed the world for me.
00:47:55You changed the world for me.
00:47:58Do you know how much?
00:48:01You make me feel hope.
00:48:05You make me feel like I can make a difference.
00:48:09And yet, will you come with me to meet my parents?
00:48:17Yes.
00:48:19And we can be together forever?
00:48:25Yes.
00:48:26You make me feel like I can make a difference.
00:48:41Oh, vous êtes très belle.
00:48:45Cecilia, let me borrow her dress.
00:48:48Hey, I'm going to love you.
00:48:50Come on.
00:48:59Come on.
00:49:00Come on.
00:49:16Get out of the way.
00:49:18Pardon me?
00:49:19Move!
00:49:30Any other people?
00:49:31I have some pain.
00:49:34Your people are so dedicated to making us feel inferior.
00:49:38Is this our day then?
00:49:41You poking me with daggers, me hanging my head.
00:49:46If a man insults me, there is no question of what I would do.
00:49:50I would oil my pistols and meet them at Twin Oaks.
00:49:52I know how to be brave for that.
00:49:54But this, it is like walking in a fog.
00:49:56There are no boundaries.
00:49:58The look on their faces, I wanted to hide from it.
00:50:04Henriette, I do not know how to be brave for this.
00:50:08I love you.
00:50:10I'm sorry.
00:50:14We'll both have to learn.
00:50:17I'll depend on you for strength in it.
00:50:20Perhaps we should spend some time alone before we fight more ghosts.
00:50:24Oh, but I put my dress on.
00:50:26I did my hair to meet your mom.
00:50:29She's expecting us for dinner.
00:50:32Henriette, I am afraid.
00:50:36You did tell them.
00:50:42And they...
00:50:43They said they would treat you with kindness.
00:50:49Pity.
00:50:50Respect.
00:50:51Respect for you.
00:50:54Their stomachs will turn at the sight of me, and then they'll wash their hands twice before I'm gone.
00:50:57I cannot protect you from that.
00:50:59I don't want to be protected.
00:51:01I want to be free of it.
00:51:05I'm sorry.
00:51:07You don't understand.
00:51:09You can't.
00:51:10Gerard, I do believe you love me.
00:51:12But you can't make me disappear into your world.
00:51:19Henriette, please.
00:51:20No.
00:51:21Let me take you back.
00:51:37I didn't recognize you.
00:51:41I used to hear the angels sing.
00:51:44I can't hear them anymore.
00:51:47They're still here.
00:51:50I'll see you at the funeral.
00:51:53What funeral?
00:51:56You haven't heard them.
00:52:00They heard what?
00:52:01Simone hemorrhaged in the night.
00:52:05She never woke up.
00:52:11They found our baby sleeping peacefully beside her.
00:52:15I heard what you did.
00:52:17I'm sure it gave her peace.
00:52:20It did.
00:52:25What aור.
00:52:49He was a teen.
00:52:50He was a teen, a dad.

00:57:58Oh, Mary, I've come.
00:58:01And I've come.
00:58:02Amen.
00:58:04Amen.
00:58:19You gonna pray for me, sister?
00:58:21With all my heart.
00:58:24How is she?
00:58:25The fever broke just an hour ago.
00:58:27Oh, the quinine mixture, it was, um...
00:58:30I was trying something new.
00:58:31The quinine had little to do with it.
00:58:34But it was the medicine that saved her.
00:58:39How many times have you given medicine to patients and lost them?
00:58:42But without it?
00:58:44Prayer saved her.
00:58:46How can you believe that?
00:58:47Because it's true.
00:58:51Your sister is well.
00:58:52I do not care why.
00:58:53It does not matter why.
00:58:55This is wonderful, and we can begin to plan again.
00:58:59Henriette, do not turn your back on us.
00:59:02Not now.
00:59:03I'm supposed to be here.
00:59:05My work is here.
00:59:07But we can do even more in France.
00:59:09We can work openly, perhaps build a hospital,
00:59:12and you would not be accused of corrupting the slaves.
00:59:15Because there are no slaves.
00:59:16We can heal bodies and spirits.
00:59:19I prayed for the answers, Gerard.
00:59:23I found out what God wants from me.
00:59:26God has been calling me for a long time, and I can't deny it.
00:59:31I feel God is working through me.
00:59:40You said you wanted an ordinary life.
00:59:45A life with me.
00:59:47I know.
00:59:51We can't have it.
00:59:53And so now there is nothing for me?
00:59:57Here, we cannot even marry.
01:00:02What do you want from me?
01:00:18Welcome.
01:00:18Thank you, sister.
01:00:23These women are not sisters.
01:00:26You must not call them that.
01:00:28You deceive this parish with those costumes.
01:00:33Thank you, sister.
01:00:37I'm sorry, but this time you'll have to stop wearing them.
01:00:41What am I to wear?
01:00:42I've given everything away.
01:00:45Oh, Kate.
01:00:45Do you know what I see when I pray?
01:00:48I see the Virgin Mary, but her skin is brown.
01:00:51The slaves and the gens de couleur need to know that God is their God, too.
01:00:55And we can't just tell them.
01:00:57Color needs to be seen with their own eyes.
01:01:00God wants black faces working in his church.
01:01:03Henriette, there are forces against you.
01:01:07Powerful people who can ruin everything we've accomplished.
01:01:10We need to go slow.
01:01:12Oh, he intended to be frightened into submission?
01:01:17Marie?
01:01:19You're crying.
01:01:21The bishop has just banished me from the parish.
01:01:24Banished?
01:01:24Yes.
01:01:25I'm being sent upriver to teach wealthy children on a plantation.
01:01:29Apparently, the wardens have pointed out that it's become illegal for integrated groups to work together.
01:01:34And you knew about this?
01:01:39The bishop is forced to disband you.
01:01:41So he's decided to play on the side of the masters.
01:01:45They will also close the parish school since slave children are being taught in the same room as whites.
01:01:50I am next on their list.
01:01:55This is going to stop.
01:02:07As I see by your costume, obedience is not a virtue you put much store by.
01:02:15Please, your excellence, just hear an idea.
01:02:20There's a house.
01:02:22My friends and I have just enough money to buy it.
01:02:27With donations, there's a building next door that we can fix up and turn into a mother house.
01:02:33You mean to build your own church now?
01:02:37Complete?
01:02:38With a convent?
01:02:39And we need you to bless the endeavor.
01:02:49As there are no colored religious orders,
01:02:53I would be blessing only an act of your pride.
01:02:59But you've seen their faces.
01:03:01Those hungry souls that worship in our church.
01:03:03You cannot say you are not moved.
01:03:05Do you expect the Catholic Church of Louisiana to challenge the state?
01:03:10To start a fire that could sweep away what they've left of their freedom?
01:03:15But the reward would be greater than the risk.
01:03:19Even if I believed you should be nuns,
01:03:22it can take years to receive Rome's consideration,
01:03:24and then the answer could well be no.
01:03:26I cannot see how I can help you.
01:03:29Perhaps you don't need to appear to be helping us.
01:03:36This church serves a changing community.
01:03:40Why, that sounds positively threatening.
01:03:44I understand you have moved to block my appointment of Father Roussillon to the cathedral.
01:03:51We will not continue to tolerate interference in church business.
01:03:56I understand you filed a lawsuit against us.
01:03:59Rather extreme reaction.
01:04:02I thought you should know I also am connected with the courts down in the Delta.
01:04:07And I can assure you money will win out in the end.
01:04:11And I can assure you the rape of a child is considered a sin.
01:04:16Even in the Delta.
01:04:19There are no secrets in this parish.
01:04:22What about baptizing a half-breed bastard child outside the church?
01:04:28A warden of the church should be above reproach.
01:04:32Especially one married to someone as pious as her wife.
01:04:37But, as I said,
01:04:40the church is here to serve the whole community.
01:04:45May I suggest instead we let them build a place of their own?
01:04:50The coloreds?
01:04:52They'll never do it.
01:04:54But we must let them build it.
01:04:57And if they fail,
01:04:59they fail on their own terms.
01:05:01Because if they don't,
01:05:03there's no telling what trouble they'll cause.
01:05:05Your excellence.
01:05:15My mom?
01:05:17You're so thin.
01:05:19I thought you promised me that you would eat.
01:05:21And you.
01:05:22You look like a nun.
01:05:26You should wear more color.
01:05:30Green.
01:05:32It goes so well with your eyes.
01:05:37How we danced at the ball.
01:05:41Your papa never danced with another woman
01:05:44after he walks with me.
01:05:54Oh!
01:06:20It's hard to imagine this as a convent.
01:06:23At this rate,
01:06:23it will take us years to raise enough money to fix it up.
01:06:26We don't have years to waste.
01:06:29To be in effective order,
01:06:30we need a place to live,
01:06:31an infirmary properly equipped,
01:06:33a school.
01:06:35What about your house?
01:06:37Sell my house?
01:06:39Well,
01:06:40the cottage isn't mine to sell.
01:06:42Cecilia needs it to raise a family.
01:06:44My parents worked themselves to death
01:06:46to leave that place to me.
01:06:48Am I mad to consider giving all that up?
01:06:51In the name of God?
01:06:54I think your parents would be proud
01:06:56to know their legacy is being used
01:06:58to serve the community.
01:07:01Julie,
01:07:02we need to sever all of our attachments.
01:07:04And Gerard,
01:07:06were you able to say goodbye so easily?
01:07:09Goodbye?
01:07:09Goodbye.
01:07:12I thought you knew.
01:07:15He's going back to France,
01:07:17Ray.
01:07:19Within a month.
01:07:21Huh?
01:07:48For what?
01:07:50For coming.
01:07:52I wasn't sure you would.
01:07:56I've been offered a post at a hospital in Nice,
01:08:00a teaching hospital,
01:08:01quite experimental.
01:08:03You make a wonderful teacher.
01:08:06Oh, yes.
01:08:08Why am I here?
01:08:11My reason?
01:08:13Our church has run out of building funds.
01:08:16Is that all I am to you?
01:08:17No.
01:08:18You might as well have stayed at the boat.
01:08:22I apologize.
01:08:25And that was uncalled for.
01:08:29The truth is,
01:08:29I wanted to know whether you still...
01:08:31We'll always love you.
01:08:37My parents have cut me off
01:08:39for refusing to marry the suitable woman
01:08:43they have found.
01:08:45A year ago,
01:08:46I might have,
01:08:48but you changed me.
01:08:51So,
01:08:52now we both work for the poor.
01:08:56Alone.
01:08:58Apart.
01:09:00Gerard, I'm sorry.
01:09:01Sorry.
01:09:03Is that why God made us twin souls?
01:09:06So we could be so unhappy.
01:09:10Such beautiful eyes.
01:09:22Oh, yes.
01:09:28Oh, yes.
01:09:41It's official.
01:09:42The bishop says we can build a church
01:09:43if we can raise the funds.
01:09:45Right on, King Jesus.
01:09:48I love you.
01:09:49No one cannot deserve me.
01:09:52Right on, King Jesus.
01:09:55I love you.
01:09:55No one cannot deserve me.
01:09:58No one cannot deserve.
01:10:01In that breaking of morning,
01:10:05very well, very well.
01:10:07In that breaking of morning,
01:10:10No one cannot deserve me.
01:10:15No one cannot deserve me.
01:10:17I love you.
01:10:19Oh, yes, God.
01:10:20No one cannot deserve me.
01:10:23Oh, yes.
01:10:35No one cannot deserve me.
01:10:39What will you do over the last couple of months?
01:10:39Ah!
01:10:39Ah!
01:10:40Ah!
01:10:41Ah!
01:10:41Ah!
01:10:42Ah!
01:10:43Ah!
01:10:52Ah!
01:10:57Ah!
01:10:59Ah!
01:11:00Vestras, et idefamini porte eternales, et introhibit rex gloriae, exce grucis signum,
01:11:10fuggiant fantasmata cupta!
01:11:39Is it not illegal for blacks to congregate?
01:11:42Yes, it is.
01:11:43Well, something will have to be done.
01:11:50Our first service.
01:11:52Giving out my house is worth it.
01:11:55We may not be nuns as yet, but the bishop will have to, at the very least, recognize our dedication.
01:12:01Um, the bishop has arranged for you to study as novices at St. Michael's.
01:12:05He feels you need experience living in a religious community.
01:12:08So the wardens got us out of their church, and the bishop...
01:12:12He will petition the Vatican upon your completion.
01:12:16In the meantime, he has appointed me to your church.
01:12:20He's a clever man.
01:12:22Our parish is very lucky to have you.
01:12:24I'm only disappointed we're suddenly so far from our goal.
01:12:28Rhi, remember Sister Martha when we were in school?
01:12:31No cross, no crown.
01:12:34We are going to see this through.
01:12:36Until the Pope himself invites us to Rome and says,
01:12:40You must be Sister Julie.
01:12:43I have heard so much about you.
01:13:09What are you doing?
01:13:13Being a nun.
01:13:14Ah, that sense of humor again.
01:13:17Do you see the chapel?
01:13:18I say it hasn't been clean this week.
01:13:20No, we just finished...
01:13:22I'll return to inspect it.
01:13:25After dinner.
01:13:31Shall we just cut your tongue out and be over with it?
01:13:34Julie, what are we supposed to learn here?
01:13:36How to keep a conference spotless.
01:13:39We could be serving on the outside.
01:13:41Teaching.
01:13:42Scrub.
01:13:43Scrub.
01:13:44Scrub.
01:13:45Scrub.
01:13:45Scrub.
01:13:46Scrub.
01:13:47Would you like some help?
01:13:48Reverend Mother.
01:13:50Jesus washed the feet of his apostles.
01:14:20He disappeared.
01:14:21Here he is.
01:14:41Oh, Reverend Mother.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:45There's something with these flowers at night.
01:14:47It reminds me of my mother's perfume.
01:14:55Does it make you sad?
01:14:58When I was in office, I was too proud to admit my previous life still mattered for me.
01:15:03The more I pretended, the worse it felt.
01:15:06I worry that conquering my own pride is impossible.
01:15:10That's what the scrubbing is for.
01:15:12To help you sleep.
01:15:15Did you love someone?
01:15:21I thought so.
01:15:23I try to forget.
01:15:27I try to stop.
01:15:29Why?
01:15:31Do you think because you're becoming a nun you stop being a woman?
01:15:35You must bring all of yourself to service.
01:15:38It's your humanity which will give you compassion for those who most need to be saved.
01:15:46Good night, Shale.
01:15:48Good night, Reverend Mother.
01:16:04Father!
01:16:05It's yellow fever.
01:16:07So many are sick.
01:16:08I'm sorry, but the infirmary is closed.
01:16:10Please, Father.
01:16:11The hospitals are full.
01:16:12They're even turning away white folks.
01:16:13Um, run to the St. Michael's convent.
01:16:17Tell Sister Henriette and Julie, tell them to come fast as they can run.
01:16:30Sister Henriette.
01:16:32Hospital 4.
01:16:33Don't turn us away.
01:16:35Master Morgan, he's sick bad with fever.
01:16:38He needn't, didn't he?
01:16:39Put him here on the table.
01:16:41I will pay for a bed.
01:16:43Mrs. Morgan, the beds are taken.
01:16:45Your money won't make a difference here.
01:16:48I can pay for anything you need.
01:16:50Your money can't even buy quinine.
01:16:52Only doctors can get it, and we don't have one here.
01:16:58I'll take care of her.
01:17:00There are more coming, white and black.
01:17:02Look at this.
01:17:02We need a miracle.
01:17:03Short of that, you must rest.
01:17:08Amen.
01:17:10We need more water.
01:17:17Marie!
01:17:19Oh, Marie.
01:17:21Oh, Marie.
01:17:24I heard what's been happening here while I was on the plantation.
01:17:31Marie.
01:17:39Quinine.
01:17:40Oh, my goodness.
01:17:43Who could have sent you this much quinine?
01:17:45Oh, you doctor.
01:17:48My dear Henriette, you know my wish is to give you so much more than mere medicine.
01:17:54Whenever you are in need, look to your heart, and I will be there.
01:17:58Love, Gerald.
01:18:00Oh, my God.
01:18:01Oh, my God.
01:18:07Oh, my God.
01:18:19Oh, my God.
01:18:20Oh, my God.
01:18:20Oh, my God.
01:18:20Oh, my God.
01:18:22Oh, my God.
01:18:23Oh, my God.
01:18:24Oh, my God.
01:18:28Oh, my God.
01:18:49Please help him.
01:18:51Please.
01:18:53I'm so cold.
01:18:59Can you forgive me?
01:19:02I'll send for Father Ruslan.
01:19:14Sister.
01:19:18I'm afraid.
01:19:22Sister.
01:19:23Forgive me.
01:19:27I will pray for your forgiveness, Mr. Morgan.
01:19:45Father!
01:19:48Father!
01:19:49Father!
01:19:50They're coming to Merlin Church!
01:19:56Fire!

01:20:15We're going to the corner.
01:20:16We're going to the corner.
01:20:17We can't move.
01:20:18We've got to help you.
01:20:19We've got to move back around.
01:20:21Come on to me.
01:20:23Let's go!
01:20:23Let's go!
01:20:24I suppose you brought the fires of hell right to your doorstep.
01:20:27You have to go now.
01:20:28Yes.
01:20:29Sister, help!
01:20:30Come on.
01:20:35We have to leave now.
01:20:37We have to leave now.
01:20:50Everyone up.
01:20:51Come on.
01:20:58Where's everybody out?
01:21:03Julie!
01:21:04Oh, yes!
01:21:05Julie.
01:21:05Julie!
01:21:07Oh, my God.
01:21:08Julie's inside.
01:21:10Is everybody out?
01:21:12No!
01:21:15I'll be in!
01:21:30I'll be in!
01:21:31God, help us!
01:21:33Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
01:21:41Let it burn.
01:21:43Yeah, let it burn.
01:21:48Julie!
01:22:02You are my hope. You are my life.
01:22:06I love you.
01:22:07And I will die for you.
01:22:11No!
01:22:32Come here!
01:22:34Thank you, Louise!
01:22:41Sister, honey!
01:22:43Jack!
01:22:46Julie!
01:22:48Look at the angel goddess sent us!
01:23:02Okay.
01:23:23All right, rest.
01:23:27I'll help you.
01:23:28Sister Julie.
01:23:40Ah, Sister Henriette, you need funds.
01:23:45Let me look and see what's in the coffers of the diocese.
01:23:51Oh, thank you, Your Excellence.
01:23:55Thank you, my child.
01:24:05No, wait. Let it be.
01:24:09It will give everyone something to think about.
01:24:30Sister.
01:24:34Moussa's wife freed us this morning.
01:24:36She paid the fee for all of us, the entire household and the field slaves.
01:24:40Oh, God bless her.
01:24:42I always dreamt to this day.
01:24:45I figured my first day of freedom, I was going to sleep till I wake up.
01:24:50Then I was going to roll over and go back to sleep again.
01:24:54Instead, I got my life packed up, and I'm going to be on a riverboat by sundown.
01:24:59And that feels mighty fine.
01:25:01God bless you.
01:25:03Goodbye, Sister.
01:25:05And thank you for everything.
01:25:06And I'm going to take you.
01:25:30Enriette's community received a formal religious rule of life,
01:25:34adopted a habit, and pronounced their vows.
01:25:36They bought the old Orleans ballroom and converted it into a sanctuary for education and the
01:25:42needy.
01:25:43Today, they continue to service the poor, the sick, and the illiterate.
01:26:08And they continue to service the poor, the sick, and the sick, and the sick, and the sick.
01:26:24And they continue to service the poor, the sick, and the sick, and the sick.
01:26:31They continue to service the poor, the sick, and the sick.
01:26:41They continue to service the poor, the sick, and the sick.
