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.
00:01:13Au revoir.
00:01:16Au revoir.
00:01:18Au revoir.
00:01:21Au revoir.
00:01:24Au revoir.
00:01:33Grandmama gave it to me, to wear on my night, for luck.
00:01:37It brought me love.
00:01:39It will bring you the same.
00:01:43Silly.
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 bartender.
00:02:03Ma, Sherry?
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.
00:02:17Or, uh, de poker.
00:02:19Mm-hmm.
00:02:27Bonsoir, Jean-Baptiste.
00:02:29Bonsoir, Sherry.
00:02:31Aurélien.
00:02:32Late.
00:02:32On your sister's night, she forgets everything else when she's in the classroom.
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.
00:02:50It 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 need a thing.
00:03:01Well, I, um, only had to...
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, if you keep your chin up.
00:03:27La.
00:03:29Chin up, chin up.
00:03:33I know you will have a wonderful time, ma chere.
00:03:36You look beautiful.
00:03:37But you said you would attend with us.
00:03:38I wish I could, but unfortunately, I have important business.
00:03:43Bonsoir, mon amour.
00:03:44Bonsoir.
00:03:45But, papa, I...
00:03:48Celie, every man there will watch you dance and wish he were your partner.
00:03:51By the way, your bird's nest looks lovely.
00:03:54Mm-hmm.
00:03:54A bientot.
00:03:56Bonsoir.
00:03:58Yep.
00:04:13Je vous présente, monsieur Samuel Dupré.
00:04:19Enchanté.
00:04:25Your father has chosen well.
00:04:28Pray for her.
00:04:29Pray for love, Henriette.
00:04:43Let's go.
00:04:44Bye.
00:04:45Bye.
00:04:48Bye.
00:05:01AMELIA
00:05:02Amelia,
00:05:03e go ti patizio,
00:05:06in nomine patres,
00:05:08and fili,
00:05:12and spiritus sancti.
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.
00:05:29Well, 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.
00:05:41Aria, 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.
00:05:56It's dangerous there since the Americans came.
00:06:00Au revoir.
00:06:01Au revoir.
00:06:18Now, let's start the bidding.
00:06:19We're going to get 150.
00:06:21150, do I hear 150?
00:06:23Yes, sir.
00:06:24200, anyone?
00:06:25200.
00:06:26200.
00:06:27Yes, sir.
00:06:28Thank you very much.
00:06:29250.
00:06:30300.
00:06:32Yes, sir.
00:06:32Yes, sir.
00:06:33325.
00:06:34325.
00:06:35Do I hear a good?
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 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.
00:07:07Can I go to that for you?
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.
00:07:37You're sitting semen.
00:07:41In a city like this, the masters do nothing?
00:07:46Oh, 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!
00:08:14Oh, my God.
00:08:16Excuse me, sir.
00:08:17Would you mind something?
00:08:23Oh!
00:08:28Hold on, ma'am.
00:08:29I'm coming.
00:08:31Come on.
00:08:32Let me help you.
00:08:34Look at that.
00:08:36Oh, no.
00:08:37Oh, no.
00:08:40Oh, no.
00:08:42Oh, no.
00:08:43Oh, no.
00:08:44Oh, no.
00:08:45Oh, no.
00:08:45Oh, no.
00:08:46Oh, no.
00:08:47Oh, no.
00:08:49Oh.
00:08:49Apparently, I missed the Delta waters more than I knew.
00:08:53Oh, thank you.
00:08:55So much trouble for such an old maid.
00:08:57Listen.
00:08:58I'll 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 while 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, clean yourself up.
00:09:26I don't want people thinking that we dress you like that.
00:09:34It looks 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?
00:09:49Allow 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 Delil.
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 to 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.
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.
00:10:32Mm-hmm.
00:10:33Ah.
00:10:35You've imported rocks?
00:10:37They're books.
00:10:38We're teachers at the parish school, and Marie's a missionary.
00:10:41Oh, wonderful.
00:10:43These 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 leave 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.
00:11:04Au revoir.
00:11:05Au revoir.
00:11:07Au revoir.
00:11:08Merci.
00:11:09Au revoir.
00:11:10Au revoir.
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.
00:11:31A 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, 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.
00:12:15God is love.
00:12:18Repeat.
00:12:20God is love.
00:12:23Excellent.
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.
00:13:11How can they learn the catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the
00:13:18catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the
00:13:18catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the
00:13:18catechism unless they learn the catechism unless they learn the catechism.
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.
00:18:16Oh, the cross was spectacular.
00:18:23My name is Paul Cartier.
00:18:30I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:35Shall we?
00:18:36I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:39I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:43I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:46I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:49I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:50I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:51I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:53I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:53I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:56I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:57I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:58I am happy, mademoiselle.
00:19:11May I?
00:19:12May I?
00:19:34May I?
00:20:04May 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?
00:20:35Monsieur, 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.
00:20:46Maybe 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.
00:21:31Henriette.
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.
00:21:53Oh.
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.
00:22:08You are just like him.
00:22:09You just get out.
00:22:10Get out, Henriette.
00:22:12Get out of my house.
00:22:27Get 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 always will come here.
00:23:15In God's house.
00:23:18In God's house?
00:23:20Yes.
00:23:24In everyone's house.
00:23:36In God's house.
00:23:39There you go.
00:23:41For you.
00:23:45For you.
00:23:49Oh, Marie 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.
00:24:05I 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 too many questions.
00:24:23In France, I shared a practice with my uncle.
00:24:26But, uh, my patients were so rich they could have hired 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.
00:24:43Well, 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.
00:24:54Well, that's where you have been.
00:24:56Here.
00:24:57Oh, I, uh...
00:24:58I called at your cottage more than once.
00:25:00Uh, your sister, Cecilia, is it?
00:25:03She would not give me any information even when I assured her that my intentions were honorable.
00:25:09She 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 Celie?
00:25:30Miss Celie!
00:25:32That's it.
00:25:32My mom went mad.
00:25:33She 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.
00:25:42My mom.

00:36:02oh Yette
00:36:03please
00:36:04you're my sister
00:36:05this ridiculous law about covering or braiding your hair

00:36:19have I offended you in some way?
00:36:22I will take care of you as my family
00:36:24I swear
00:36:25but 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

00:36:58he will not be taking care of me either
00:37:00oh

00:37:54I 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

00:50:20perhaps
00:50:20we should spend some time
00:50:22alone
00:50:22before we fight more ghosts
00:50:24oh
00:50:24but I put my dress on
00:50:26I
00:50:26I did my hair to meet your mom
00:50:29she's expecting us for dinner
00:50:31Henriette
00:50:33I am afraid
00:50:36you did tell them
00:50:41and they
00:50:43they said
00:50:46they 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
00:50:55and then they'll wash their hands twice
00:50:57before 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
00:51:10I do believe you love me
00:51:12but you can't make me disappear into your world
00:51:19Henriette
00:51:19please
00:51:20no
00:51:21let me take you back
00:51:35oh
00:51:35Henriette
00:51:38didn'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
00:51:51I'll see you at the funeral
00:51:53what funeral
00:51:56you haven't heard them
00:52:00heard what
00:52:01Simone
00:52:01hemorrhaged
00:52:03in the night
00:52:04she 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
00:52:18it gave her peace
00:52:19you
00:52:20you
00:52:20I
00:52:23I
00:52:24I
00:52:24I
00:52:28I
00:52:52Is God so wrathful, suffering on top of suffering, with no lesson, no reason?
00:52:58I don't understand, Father.
00:53:01Bonjour, sister.
00:53:04I've sought, I've prayed, I still do not understand.
00:53:09Bonjour, sister.
00:53:12Draw on your faith.
00:53:13We're not meant to grasp everything at once.
00:53:18That answer does not satisfy me.
00:53:20I need to know why.
00:53:21I don't understand.
00:53:23He called you sister.
00:53:24They all do.
00:53:25Haven't you heard them?
00:53:26You've touched them, and so you've become a sister of the Lord.
00:53:30I didn't ask for it.
00:53:32No.
00:53:32You say God hasn't held the suffering, but he has.
00:53:36He gave them you.
00:53:38But I, I can't...
00:53:39Do you remember the night you came to him?
00:53:42You were abandoned, and yet you knew where to come.
00:53:46You knew the solace it could bring others.
00:53:51What does God want from me?
00:54:05Come on, sister.
00:54:22You cannot give me a second chance.
00:54:27Let's begin at the beginning.
00:54:29Why were you at the ball that night?
00:54:31I was there looking for you, Henriette.
00:54:34To be your concubine?
00:54:35No.
00:54:36Gerard, I want to be able to believe you always.
00:54:39Then believe me.
00:54:41Because every time I visit my mother and see how she was destroyed because she was loving a man from
00:54:45a different world...
00:54:46I am not your father.
00:54:47I could not abandon you.
00:54:49If I have to choose between you and my world, my parents even, I choose you.
00:55:00We can have a real life in France.
00:55:03A real marriage.
00:55:06We can be happy.
00:55:08Happy?
00:55:09Yes, Michelle.
00:55:11I will protect you.
00:55:13People will look at us, and shake their heads, and wish that they'd married for love.
00:55:22We will change the world.
00:55:41Hey.
00:55:42No.
00:55:44You don't look very well.
00:55:45Oh, I'm just tired.
00:55:46Perhaps you should delight at the departure.
00:55:48No, I'm fine.
00:55:49I'm fine.
00:55:49We'll be fine.
00:55:50You just enjoy whatever time you have together.
00:55:54To be loved.
00:55:56To let yourself be loved.
00:55:58To be touched so deeply, Celie.
00:56:00You told me, but how could I know?
00:56:03You might as well take some of these dresses.
00:56:06They don't fit me anymore.
00:56:11You have nothing to worry about.
00:56:13Gerard has promised to take care of you and Mamon.
00:56:16Well, he's going to help you fight for your inheritance that Samuel wanted you to have.
00:56:21Oh, you're so lucky.
00:56:23You must write to me the moment you set foot in Paris.
00:56:27Right.
00:56:29You'll visit.
00:56:31We expect you at the wedding.
00:56:37Oh, Gerard's going to complain about my rocks.
00:56:39My books.
00:56:41My books.
00:56:41He's always.
00:56:44Celie.
00:56:46Celie.
00:56:57Henriette.
00:56:58Look what I have.
00:57:01It's Celia.
00:57:02Her fever is very high.
00:57:04They say Creoles don't get it, but you got it.
00:57:07There's an outbreak of yellow fever.
00:57:09It can affect anyone.
00:57:11My medical bag is here.
00:57:13Gerard.
00:57:15I'm...
00:57:15I...
00:57:16I know.
00:57:19I'm sorry.
00:57:22Me too.
00:57:24It would be nice to have a conversation between us where one of us does not have to say how
00:57:27sorry we are.
00:57:36Oh, it is my name.
00:57:43It's him.
00:57:45Our children have...
00:57:47The skin and solution is very effective in...
00:57:50It must be.
00:57:52It must be.
00:57:53It must be.
00:57:54It may well have a blessing.
00:57:56It would advice for Jesus.
00:57:59In him.
00:58:00I have come to the end of our sins.
00:58:04Amen.
00:58:06Amen.
00:58:20you're gonna pray for me sister with all my heart
00:58:24how is she the fever broke just an hour ago the quantum exchange was um i was trying something
00:58:31new the quinine had little to do with it but it was the medicine that saved her
00:58:39how many times have you given medicine to patients and lost them but without it prayer
00:58:44saved her how can you believe that because it's true
00:58:51your sister is well i do not care why it does not matter why this is wonderful and we can
00:58:56begin
00:58:57to plan again or yet do not turn your back on us not now i'm supposed to be here my
00:59:06my work is here
00:59:07we can do even more in france we can work openly perhaps build a hospital and you would not be
00:59:13accused of corrupting the slaves because there are no slaves we can heal bodies and spirits
00:59:19i prayed for the answers gerard i found out what god wants for 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 a life with me
00:59:51we can't have it and so now there is nothing for me here we cannot even marry
01:00:03what do you want from me
01:00:18welcome thank you sister
01:00:23these women are not sisters
01:00:26you must not call them that you 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 i've given everything away
01:00:45do you know what i see when i pray i see the virgin mary but her skin is brown
01:00:51the slaves in the genre need to know that god is their god too
01:00:55and we can't just tell them color needs to be seen with their own eyes
01:01:00god wants black faces working in his church
01:01:03or yet
01:01:04there are forces against you
01:01:07powerful people who can ruin everything we've accomplished
01:01:10we need to go slow
01:01:12are we intended to be frightened into submission
01:01:17marie
01:01:20you're crying
01:01:20the bishop has just banished me from the parish
01:01:23banished
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 gonna stop
01:02:08as i see by your costume
01:02:11obedience is not a virtue you put much store by
01:02:15please your excellence
01:02:17just 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
01:02:28there's a building next door that we can fix up and turn into a mother house
01:02:32you mean
01:02:33to build your own church now
01:02:36complete
01:02:37with 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
01:02:55an act of your pride
01:02:59but you've seen their faces
01:03:00those 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
01:03:21it can take years to receive rome's consideration and 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
01:03:40wow that sounds positively threatening
01:03:44i understand you have moved to block my appointment of father roussillon to the cathedral
01:03:50we 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
01:04:06and 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
01:04:15even 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
01:04:27a warden of the church should be above reproach
01:04:32especially one married to someone as pious as a wife
01:04:36but as i said
01:04:40the church is here to serve the whole community
01:04:45may i suggest instead
01:04:47we 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
01:04:58they fail on their own terms
01:05:01because if they don't
01:05:03there's no telling what trouble they'll cause
01:05:04your excellence
01:05:15mama
01:05:17you're so thin
01:05:18i 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 after he walks with me
01:05:54oh
01:05:55oh
01:05:57oh
01:05:57oh
01:05:57oh
01:05:59oh
01:06:20It's hard to imagine this as a convent.
01:06:23At this rate, it 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 an effective order, we need a place to live.
01:06:31An infirmary, properly equipped, a school.
01:06:35What about your house?
01:06:37Sell my house?
01:06:39Well, the cottage isn't mine to sell.
01:06:42Cecilia used it to raise a family.
01:06:44My parents worked themselves to death to 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 to serve the community.
01:07:01Julie, we need to sever all of our attachments.
01:07:04And Gerard, were you able to say goodbye so easily?
01:07:09Goodbye?
01:07:12I thought you knew.
01:07:15He's going back to France, Ray.
01:07:19He's been a month.
01:07:20I thought you knew it was a good one.
01:07:49For coming. I wasn't sure you would.
01:07:56I've been offered a post at a hospital in Nice, a teaching hospital, quite experimental.
01:08:03You make a wonderful teacher.
01:08:06Oh, yes. Why am I here?
01:08:11My reason, our 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 ball.
01:08:21I apologize.
01:08:25And that was uncalled for.
01:08:28The truth is I wanted to know whether you still...
01:08:31Really?
01:08:32I always love you.
01:08:38My parents have cut me off for refusing to marry the suitable woman they have found.
01:08:45A year ago, I 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.
01:09:00You're right. 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 if we can raise the funds.
01:10:17The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:10:57The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:11:20The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:11:55The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:12:05The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:12:07The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:12:36The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:13:14The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:13:25The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:13:50Jesus washed the feet of his apostles.
01:14:20The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:14:21The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:15:04The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:15:24The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:15:42The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:15:42The bishop says we can raise the funds.
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,
01:16:18tell them to come fast as they can run.
01:16:29Sister Henriette.
01:16:32Hospital 4, don'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.
01:16:46Your 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,
01:16:53and 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, we need a miracle.
01:17:04Short of that, you must rest.
01:17:08I'll take care of her.
01:17:17Marie!
01:17:19Oh, Marie.
01:17:21Oh, Marie.
01:17:23Oh, Marie.
01:17:24Oh, I heard what's been happening here
01:17:26while I was on the plantation.
01:17:31Marie.
01:17:32Oh, my goodness.
01:17:43Who could have sent you this much quinine?
01:17:46Oh, you doctor.
01:17:48My dear Henriette,
01:17:50you know my wish is to give you so much more
01:17:52than mere medicine.
01:17:54Whenever you are in need,
01:17:56look to your heart,
01:17:57and I will be there.
01:17:58Love, Gerald.
01:18:00We're all done.
01:18:29Help us, Gerald.
01:18:53I'm so cold.
01:19:00Can you forgive me?
01:19:02I'll send for Father Ruslan.
01:19:13Sister.
01:19:17I'm... I'm afraid.
01:19:21Sister, forgive me.
01:19:28I will pray for your forgiveness, Mr. Morgan.
01:19:43Father!
01:19:47Father!
01:19:49Father!
01:19:50Father!
01:19:50They're coming to burn the church!

01:20:27You have to go now.
01:20:28Yes.
01:20:29Sister, help!
01:20:30Come on.

01:21:41Let it burn.
01:21:43Yeah, let it burn.
01:21:46Yeah, let it burn.
01:21:48Julie!
01:22:02You are my hope.
01:22:04You are my life.
01:22:06I love you.
01:22:07And I will die for you.
01:22:11No!
01:22:12No!
01:22:32Give me that!
01:22:34Thank you, Louise!
01:22:41Sister, honey!
01:22:43Jack!
01:22:46Julie!
01:22:48Look at the angel goddess sent us!
01:23:03Oh, Matt!
01:23:03I will die for you!
01:23:16Oh, yes!
01:23:19Oh, yes!
01:23:26Rest!
01:23:26Rest. I'll help you, Sister Julie.
01:23:41Sister Henriette, you need funds.
01:23:46Let me look and see what's in the coffers of the diocese.
01:23:51Oh, thank you, Your Excellency.
01:23:56Thank you, my child.
01:24:06No, wait. Let it be.
01:24:09It will give everyone something to think about.
01:24:16Oh, no.
01:24:30Sister.
01:24:34Nasa's wife freed us this morning.
01:24:35She paid the fee for all of us, the entire household and the field slaves.
01:24:39Oh, 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.
01:24:49Then 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.
01:24:58And that feels mighty fine.
01:25:01God bless you.
01:25:03Goodbye, Sister.
01:25:05And thank you for everything.

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.
01:25:58Today, they continue to service the poor, the young man, and the illiterate.
