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!

00:01:24Oh, I'm late.
00:01:33Grandmama gave it to me, to wear on my night.
00:01:36For luck.
00:01:37It brought me love.
00:01:39It will bring you the same.
00:01:43See you, Leigh.
00:01:45Papa, Mama has to finish my hair.
00:01:48I want you to show me those fancy new steps of yours.
00:01:51A reverse, likely, as a bird suddenly flies.
00:01:55So, one, two.
00:01:56I will fly like a bird, but I won't have a partner if my hair's a bird's nest.
00:02:03Marcelle?
00:02:04Mm-hmm.
00:02:09Chin up, chin up.
00:02:10You don't need to see.
00:02:11You must trust your partner.
00:02:12Oh, I'd like to know where I'm going, Papa.
00:02:14But then you should not waltz.
00:02:16It is the quadrille for you.

00:02:37Forgive me, Celie.
00:02:38And will you forget next year, when 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

00:05:16Amen.
00:05:21Memo, why isn't Papa here?
00:05:24Obviously, the business of the plantation is taking longer than expected.
00:05:29Well, 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.
00:05:55You'll be very careful. It's dangerous, the essence of the Americans.
00:05:58I'm going to escape.
00:06:00Au revoir.
00:06:01Au revoir.
00:06:17Now, we start the bidding.
00:06:19We're going to get 150, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:22150, do I hear 150?
00:06:23Yes, sir.
00:06:24200, anyone.
00:06:25200, 200.
00:06:27Yes, sir.
00:06:28Thank you very much.
00:06:31300, yes, sir.
00:06:32Yes, sir.
00:06:33325.
00:06:34325.
00:06:35Do I hear a good?
00:06:36Yes.
00:06:39Papa?
00:06:45Were you addressing me?
00:06:47No, sir.
00:06:48I thought I knew the gentleman who 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.
00:07:08Are you good enough for me?
00:07:24Would you like some?
00:07:27Give me that.
00:07:29Do it.
00:07:30Give me some.
00:07:32Miss, let me do that for you.
00:07:34No, no.
00:07:37No.
00:07:37You're sitting semen.
00:07:41In a city like this, the masters do nothing?
00:07:46Look at them all.
00:07:46Miss, I am.
00:07:47Oh, yes.
00:07:48Can't work not that.
00:07:49Henriette.
00:07:51Jacques.
00:07:53Get 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.
00:08:07Julie.
00:08:09Oh, there she is.
00:08:10Marie!
00:08:13Oh, it's him.
00:08:16Excuse me, sir.
00:08:17Would you mind something?
00:08:22Oh!
00:08:28Hold on, ma'am.
00:08:29I'm coming.
00:08:33Look at him.
00:08:36Look at him.
00:08:49Apparently, I missed the delta waters more than I knew.
00:08:53Oh, thank you.
00:08:54So much trouble for such an old maid.
00:08:57Listen, I'd do it again.
00:09:00It'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 Sasson.
00:09:18Better learn that for your own good.
00:09:24Jack, clean yourself up.
00:09:26I don't want people thinking that we dress you like that.
00:09:34Looks like Plainspeed and Sasson.
00:09:37How can you make me leave Charleston for this?
00:09:40Look at them, parading around.
00:09:43Give it time, dear. Things 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.
00:10:08Then at least I can carry your things.
00:10:10Well, well, well.
00:10:12The accent's not from the West Indies. I 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.
00:10:17Well, but it's been arranged.
00:10:21Oh, I saw my father today. Of course, he didn't see me.
00:10:25I don't want that. Not for me, not for my children.
00:10:28I expect you'll be telling your mother soon.
00:10:31She'll understand.
00:10:33Ah, you've imported rocks?
00:10:37They're books. We're teachers at the parish school, and Marie's a missionary.
00:10:41Oh, wonderful. These will be difficult to accomplish with dignity.
00:10:47I'm sure you'll be able to manage somehow.
00:10:49Only we shall steadfastly leave and encourage my mamas.
00:10:57One, two, three, four.
00:11:00Excellent. That's it for today.
00:11:02Au revoir. Merci.
00:11:04Au revoir.
00:11:05Thank you. Au revoir. Au revoir. Merci. Au revoir. Au revoir. Merci.
00:11:14Oh, hello.
00:11:16Take your seats.
00:11:18Merci, Mom.
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.
00:11:31A catechism class for girls this late?
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.
00:11:54This 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 colours to read requires permission.
00:12:14God
00:12:14is
00:12:16love.
00:12:18Repeat.
00:12:19God is love.
00:12:22Excellent.
00:12:30Henriette, do you have their permission?
00:12:33You know it's illegal to teach slaves to read without 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.
00:12:58Not much.
00:13:01God bless.
00:13:07Good night.
00:13:11Bye.
00:13:13Bye.
00:13:16Bye.
00:13:17Bye.
00:13:18Henriette what is this I have heard? You are teaching slave children. Do you want to hurt
00:13:24your father? Do you realize he does business with their masters? And the sons of those masters will
00:13:30be attending your ball this week. Maman about the ball. Do you want them laughing at you behind your
00:13:34back? Do you want them to wash their hands after they finish dancing with you? Henriette I have
00:13:41asked you a question. Papa? No. You will not raid your heart for these white bastards to see.
00:14:16Come on, Henri. She will blame me if you are not ready. I hate this. You know how much
00:14:22I do. Maman was right about the green. You love him? Who? Al Samuel? Yes. He has promised
00:14:37that we will be together until we're old and crutchy. But you can't marry, Ceiling. What
00:14:44difference does it make if he stays with me? God means us to be married till death parts
00:14:50us. To walk across a square openly as man and wife. Otherwise, we're just being bought.
00:14:56It's like the earth. Look. Think before you speak. What made you think things would be different
00:15:06with us? Jean-Baptiste, you made a promise to me. Was I naive to believe in you? And I've
00:15:13kept my word. I help you raise the girls. Cecilia is taken care of and now Henriette is well-placed
00:15:20too. And me, Jean. Me! I must produce legitimate heirs. You knew that. It is something I must
00:15:28do. You will be ravishing. Every man there will hunger after you. And they will envy your
00:15:43gentleman, Paul Cartier, who has assured me he will provide you with the finest of everything.
00:15:51Did he say for how long? And when I see you in the square tomorrow or the next day, will
00:15:58you see me? You are my beloved children. And you always will be. Even if I can't see you
00:16:07again for a long time. I'm getting married. And then you'll leave us. So this is the life
00:16:21you want for me, my mom? I will not go to the ball. I will not meet Paul Cartier. And
00:16:29how
00:16:30do you intend to live if you don't go to the ball, my dear? How will we? If you have
00:16:36not understood things, your papa has just ended our lives. Oh, poupon, don't be so dramatic.
00:16:45You can keep the slave and lease her out. And the house, of course, too, as I promised.
00:16:50Well, at least we won't be begging in the square where you and your wife might see us.
00:16:55Oh, papa. Oh, Jean-Baptiste. If this is my house, get out.
00:17:21No, no, no, no. Not now. Cecilia, you fasten your sister's gown.
00:17:27She's right. Let's go. We will be late if we don't hurry.
00:18:01There is no love here.
00:18:05This is what we do. We have no choices.
00:18:15Oh, the cross was spectacular.
00:18:23I am happy, mademoiselle. Shall we?
00:18:36Oh, boy.
00:18:37Oh, God.
00:18:39Oh, God.
00:18:47Oh, God.
00:18:52Oh, God.
00:18:57Oh, God.
00:19:11May I?
00:19:12May I?
00:19:36May I?
00:20:05May I?
00:20:11Monsieur, you took me by surprise.
00:20:13Was there any other way?
00:20:16Monsieur Gautier, 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, Gerard Gautier?
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.
00:21:31Oh, yet.
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.
00:22:57Who'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 always will come here.
00:23:15In God's house.
00:23:18In God's house?
00:23:20Yes.
00:23:25Everyone's house.
00:23:39There you go.
00:23:41There you go.
00:23:45For you.
00:23:49Oh, Marie, we'll look at your leg over there.
00:23:54Henriette, may I present Dr. GĂ©rard 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 our
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 him any questions.
00:24:23In France, I shared a practice with my uncle, but my patients were so rich, they could have
00:24:30hired God himself to cure them.
00:24:32They certainly did not need me.
00:24:35But you couldn't give it up in your heart.
00:24:37So here you are, helping us.
00:24:39If you will have me.
00:24:41This was your idea.
00:24:43Well, no, I...
00:24:44But Father Rousselon tells me, uh...
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, I called it your cottage more than once.
00:25:01It's your sister, Cecilia, is it?
00:25:04She would not give me any information, even when I assured her that my intentions were
00:25:08honorable.
00:25:09She means well.
00:25:12I stay with Julie now.
00:25:15I, uh, I 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 Sealy?
00:25:30Miss Sealy!
00:25:32That's it?
00:25:32I'm all in bed.
00:25:34She tried to hurt herself.
00:25:35I finally got us settled in bed.
00:25:36She was a wild thing.
00:25:37She's screaming and running.
00:25:39Amelia, bring me here.
00:25:41Oh, my mom.
00:25:43Memo, she's screaming and running.
00:25:45I don't want to go get Henriette.
00:25:47The water is out.
00:25:57We'll see you tomorrow, I'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.
00:26:10Have 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.
00:26:19Come now.
00:26:25Forgive me, Mama.
00:26:36Forgive me.
00:26:59Ah, much better, huh?
00:27:01That was brave of you, Jason.
00:27:02Mm-hmm.
00:27:03Oh, here.
00:27:05Yeah, all better now.
00:27:07Off you go.
00:27:10I took the liberty of speaking with your mother's doctor.
00:27:15The night of the ball, I broke my mother's heart.
00:27:19I was too proud, too selfish.
00:27:21I couldn't see the pain of her life.
00:27:23I'll never forgive myself.
00:27:27Henriette, she will be well taken care of.
00:27:37What happened?
00:27:38Some white folk called them reading, sir.
00:27:40Reading?
00:27:41They say there's a new law.
00:27:42Every week they publish a new law in that journal.
00:27:45Of course, slaves are not allowed to read it.
00:27:47Excuse me.
00:28:00Imagine if you weren't here.
00:28:02My class make me feel so ashamed.
00:28:05My own class has slaves.
00:28:07People choose to be full of love or hate.
00:28:10It's not limited to class.
00:28:11Well, it seems mine has chosen eight.
00:28:14Well, he's in God's hands now.
00:28:18You asked me how I could give up healing.
00:28:22It is answers like that.
00:28:24It is in God's hands.
00:28:26It is God's will.
00:28:27God knows.
00:28:29It is not good enough.
00:28:30I'm a doctor.
00:28:32I want to save lives.
00:28:34Oh, so you believe you're the healer?
00:28:36That it's all up to you?
00:28:38That's pride.
00:28:39Vanity.
00:28:40Yet, uh, you blame yourself for your mother's illness.
00:28:44You broke her heart.
00:28:46People do not die from broken hearts.
00:28:49Maybe that is your vanity.
00:28:51All I know is that if the spirit breaks, so does the will.
00:28:54You've both seen that.
00:28:56You've also seen people fight to live and win.
00:28:59I believe that's the true mystery of God.
00:29:04No science can have the answer for that.
00:29:08Ah, touché.
00:29:24May I be so bold as to claim this tune as our own?
00:29:28Are you asking me to dance here?
00:29:30Is that a chaperone?
00:29:33Yes.
00:29:46In Paris, couples stare into each other's eyes during the waltz.
00:29:52I might get dizzy.
00:29:55I'll be your center.
00:29:57Make me your still point.
00:30:10Oh, that is it.
00:30:12Oh, oh, for luck.
00:30:15And if I am good, he will love me forever.
00:30:24I must get ready.
00:30:28My gown is lilac.
00:30:30It has just arrived from Paris.
00:30:35See you tomorrow, my mom.
00:30:44Today was a good day?
00:30:45Yes, she was much better, thank you.
00:30:48Maybe we can take her home soon?
00:30:51You should know.
00:30:52She told me that she didn't have a home.
00:30:54It's ridiculous.
00:30:55Of course she is.
00:30:56For now, you must be thankful for the good days.
00:31:07Been sick of the stomach.
00:31:09Tired all the time.
00:31:10Master say she more trouble than she worth.
00:31:15Master have company.
00:31:17I supposed to be getting more whiskey.
00:31:19Stay it up here.
00:31:20Where is her mother?
00:31:22I don't know.
00:31:26Simone.
00:31:29It is time to tell us.
00:31:31It's nothing.
00:31:34Master say we're time to breed me.
00:31:37You're 12 years old.
00:31:40Breed you?
00:31:41Who he breed you with?
00:31:43He come in tonight.
00:31:46And he say, I'm a woman now.
00:31:49No!
00:31:57Jack, do not make it worse.
00:32:00Master gonna free me so your baby can be free too.
00:32:04It's gonna be alright.
00:32:15The same thing happened to her mother.
00:32:18And she wasn't alright.
00:32:29Henriette.
00:32:33Henriette.
00:32:34Where are you going?
00:32:36To put a stop to this.
00:32:39He's good for the moment.
00:32:41He's always been good.
00:32:44Oh, Miss Henriette.
00:32:46May I speak to your master, please?
00:32:47Well, he got company.
00:32:49Uh, tell him it's an urgent matter.
00:32:51Well, what is it?
00:32:53Oh, you.
00:32:56One feet of niggers at the church.
00:32:58You want scraps, you ought to go around the kitchen.
00:33:01I've come about Simone.
00:33:02Simone.
00:33:04Simone.
00:33:05I have a house full of guests.
00:33:07I'm her catechism teacher.
00:33:09The Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments.
00:33:12I teach her that they apply to white people as well as black.
00:33:18Are you sassing me?
00:33:21Adultery is a sin.
00:33:23What the day were you talking about, standing at my front door, preaching?
00:33:27Does your wife know that your mistress is a 12-year-old child?
00:33:32Simone's my slave, nothing more.
00:33:35Simone's pregnant.
00:33:37Frank?
00:33:38What's the matter?
00:33:39What's she doing here?
00:33:40Just some half-alutin quadrant, confused about where she's at.
00:33:43She's just leaving.
00:33:44If I was just leaving myself, Mr. Morgan, I would be happy to see the young lady out.
00:33:49Oh, you will, sir.
00:33:50You do know each other.
00:33:52How about that?
00:33:54Madame Morgan, your hospitality was bewitching, as always.
00:33:57Yes, merci beaucoup.
00:34:15What is the matter with you?
00:34:16Are you mad?
00:34:18Yes.
00:34:20Perhaps not as mad as Maman, but in my own small way, yes.
00:34:23You dare to challenge a man of my class!
00:34:25Do you even care to know what he did?
00:34:29Frank Morgan and his Americans are making a new Louisiana.
00:34:32They are the future, ma chĂšre.
00:34:34So you dine with them, and you sell to them?
00:34:37You marry one of them, and now you'll become one of them?
00:34:41We must all survive, ma chĂšre.
00:34:46Maman wants to hear from you every day.
00:34:57May God help you, and you're kind.
00:35:10Maria?
00:35:13Maria?
00:35:23Allé.
00:35:33Goodbye, papa.
00:35:42Oh!
00:35:45We've come for a visit.
00:35:47Oh, my!
00:35:50Now Amelia's grown.
00:35:53She's finally fallen asleep.
00:35:55I'm going to put her down.
00:36:02Oh, Yette.
00:36:03Please, you're my sister.
00:36:06This ridiculous law about covering or braiding your hair,
00:36:09it has no place amongst family.
00:36:12I am not your family, Samuel.
00:36:19Have I offended you in some way?
00:36:22I will take care of you as my family.
00:36:24I swear.
00:36:26But you're not married to Cecilia.
00:36:28You know, it's only that the law forbids it.
00:36:32Have you presented my sister and your child to your parents?
00:36:36My parents are in Europe, and I'm not close to my family here.
00:36:40You know that.
00:36:41Do they even know you have a daughter?
00:36:43Any of them?
00:36:44I cannot change the way things are.
00:36:46Please, Henriette.
00:36:48Is it just the way things are?
00:36:55This, this Dr. Gerard, Cecilia tells me that...
00:36:58He will not be taking care of me, either.
00:37:01Oh, I wasn't asking that.
00:37:03I just thought, perhaps he has introduced you to his parents.
00:37:09Oh, well, perhaps when the time comes.
00:37:21I told Master, if he touch her again, he best kill me.
00:37:28And leave Simone alone.
00:37:30She going on and on about hope.
00:37:33Any white church selling hope is selling lies.
00:37:37Jacques, come on, Sunday.
00:37:40God's ways are mysterious sometimes, but...
00:37:43If you open your heart and pray, I'd believe you.
00:37:46Pray?
00:37:46Pray?
00:37:48Pray for what?
00:37:49For things to get better?
00:37:51I did that already.
00:37:53I guess your God must be having a joke with me.
00:38:03He has a right to his anger.
00:38:05Perhaps we can only heal his physical wounds.
00:38:12I will not give up on him.
00:38:14Simone's way too important.
00:38:18If I come on Sunday, will you sit with me?
00:38:24Mr. Morgan and his wife would not approve.
00:38:27And that would be fantastic.
00:38:30What about you sit with me?
00:38:34Thought so.
00:38:38Can I walk you on, Miss Dillian?
00:38:41That would be fine.
00:38:43You're willing to wait?
00:38:45No.
00:38:47I don't know.
00:38:50No.
00:38:56No.
00:38:59No.
00:39:22Good night, sir.
00:39:25Such beautiful hands.
00:39:26They 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.
00:39:41That is...
00:39:42What was I thinking could come of this?
00:39:43Henriette, listen.
00:39:45In front of all of these people, I 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?
00:40:28Gerard, to be a wife?
00:40:30No, just to say that your wife...
00:40:35It's like a dream come true, but I can't.
00:40:37If it 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.
00:41:26I 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.
00:41:33Father, you stop bringing too many blacks in here.
00:41:36The collection plate's going to get mighty bear,
00:41:37because no white folks will be feeling it.
00:41:41All colors I've worshipped here together for generations, sir.
00:41:45Is 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, Is this silly?
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?
00:42:30What?
00:42:31I'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 this?
00:42:39I'm in the stand.
00:42:46Bishop Blanc.
00:42:50I represent the wardens of Father Roussillon's church.
00:42:55Are you aware of what's been going on these last few months?
00:42:58Because it just keeps getting worse.
00:43:00And all you do is nip at the edges.
00:43:08I'm going to catch you.
00:43:19Children, children.
00:43:20Come, come.
00:43:21Come, come.
00:43:23Okay.
00:43:25Repeat.
00:43:26Oh.
00:43:32Etienne, why are these lay workers wearing habits?
00:43:37They donated their wardrobes to the needy
00:43:39and simply chose to dress in a uniform more practical 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.
00:43:55For 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.
00:44:06They 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 with abandoned slaves.
00:44:28What they are doing is so clearly God's work.
00:44:32And we may not be able to protect them.
00:44:39Oh, oh, no, you.
00:44:41Not 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.
00:44:51Giving away all your clothes.
00:44:52And next will be this cottage.
00:44:54And where will that leave me and my children?
00:44:56There is no worry.
00:44:57God will care for us.
00:44:58And Momon?
00:45:01We'll pray for her.
00:45:04Everything Samuel left to the children,
00:45:07our children will be giving to his white family.
00:45:10Is that how God answers your prayers?
00:45:19After I have this baby,
00:45:21it 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
00:45:29as you were when I wear green.
00:45:34Are we taking all these, ma'am?
00:45:36And this me, 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.
00:45:49Oh.
00:46:05She came too soon.
00:46:07Gonna die here in my arms.
00:46:09And that'll be the end of this.
00:46:12I give up on your God.
00:46:14Papa?
00:46:15Is she here?
00:46:17Ask her.
00:46:18I don't want none of this.
00:46:19Bedtime my baby before she die.
00:46:21I can't baptize the child.
00:46:25I'll send for Father Rousselon.
00:46:27But she might die before then.
00:46:30There won't be time.
00:46:33Please, sister.
00:46:36Please.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:41Please.
00:46:43Please.
00:46:45Please.
00:46:46Please.
00:46:48Please.
00:46:50Please.
00:47:12I 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.
00:47:47It 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.
00:47:58Do 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?
00:48:16Yes.
00:48:18And we can be together forever?
00:48:24Yes.
00:48:41Oh, you look so beautiful.
00:48:45Cecilia, let me borrow her dress.
00:48:48Hey, I'm going to love you.
00:48:58Allé!
00:48:59Get out of the way!
00:49:18Pardon me?
00:49:19Move!
00:49:30Any other people?
00:49:31I have some pain, cuss-
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?
00:49:44Ed, if 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, but 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.
00:50:20Oh, perhaps 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, no.
00:51:21Let me take you back.
00:51:35Henriette?
00:51:37Didn'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?
00:51:57You haven't heard them.
00:52:00Heard 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.
00:52:16And I'm sure it gave her peace.
00:52:20It gave her peace.
00:52:40It gave herD
00:52:41a day of Hope Sorting is,
00:52:42Yes, to be fair.

00:57:54We have a blessing for the fire, Lord Jesus.
00:57:59Holy Mary, I have come to you.
00:58:02Jesus, I have come to you.
00:58:04Amen.
00:58:20Are you going to pray for me, sister?
00:58:21With all my heart.
00:58:24How is she?
00:58:25The fever broke just an hour ago.
00:58:27The quinine mixture, it was, um, I was trying something new.
00:58:31The quinine had little to do with it.
00:58:35But 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.
00:59:22Lord, I 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.
01:00:03What do you want from me?
01:00:17You're welcome.
01:00:19Thank you, sister.
01:00:23These women are not sisters.
01:00:25You must not call them that.
01:00:28You deceive this parish with those costumes.
01:00:33Thank you, sister.
01:00:38I'm sorry, but this time you'll have to stop wearing them.
01:00:41Well, what 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?
01:01:20You'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 white.
01:01:50I am next on their list.
01:01:55This has got 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.
01:02:19Maria, there'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, I 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.
01:03:06Do 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, it 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.
01:03:37This church serves a changing community.
01:03:40Wow, 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.
01:04:00Rather 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.
01:04:10And I can assure you the rape of a child is considered a sin, even 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.
01:04:36But, as I said, the 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.
01:04:56And if they fail, they fail on their own terms.
01:05:01Because if they don't, there's no telling what trouble they'll cause.
01:05:05Your excellence.
01:05:15Mama?
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.
01:05:36Oh.
01:05:38How we danced at the ball.
01:05:41Your papa never danced with another woman after he waltzed with me.
01:06:03I don't think so well with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman
01:06:04after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he
01:06:04waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with
01:06:05another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman
01:06:05after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he
01:06:05waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with
01:06:05another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman
01:06:07after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he waltzed with another woman after he
01:06:13waltzed with another woman after he walt
01:06:20it's hard to imagine this as a convent at this rate it will take us years to raise enough money
01:06:25to fix it up we don't have years to waste to be an effective order we need a place to
01:06:31live
01:06:31an infirmary properly equipped a school what about your house sell my house
01:06:39well the cottage isn't mine to sell cecilia needs it to raise a family my parents worked
01:06:45themselves to death to leave that place to me am i mad to consider giving all that up in the
01:06:52name of
01:06:52god i think your parents would be proud to know their legacy is being used to serve the community
01:07:01julie we need to sever all of our attachments and gerard were you able to say goodbye so easily

01:22:09Whoa!
01:22:41Sister, honey!
01:22:43Jack!
01:22:47Julie, look at the angel goddess sent us.
01:23:24Juliet, rest. I'll help you, Sister Julie.
01:23:40Ah, Sister Henriette, you need funds. Let me look and see what's in the coffers of the diocese.
01:23:51Oh, thank you, Your Excellency.
01:23:55Thank you, my child.
01:24:06No, wait. Let it be. It will give everyone something to think about.
01:24:33Sister, Nasa'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 gonna sleep till I wake up.
01:24:49Then I was gonna roll over and go back to sleep again.
01:24:54Instead, I got my life packed up.
01:24:56And I'm gonna 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.
01:25:30Onriette's community received a formal religious rule of life, adopted a habit and pronounced their vows.
01:25:37They bought the old Orleans ballroom and converted it into a sanctuary for education and the needy.
01:25:43Today, they continue to service the poor, the sick, and the illiterate.
