he Courage to Love (2000) is a historical drama starring Vanessa Williams as Henriette Delille, a free woman of color in 1850s New Orleans.

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,
00:01:00and her world, forever.
00:01:03Au revoir!
00:01:03Au revoir!
00:01:05Au revoir!
00:01:10Au revoir!
00:01:13Au revoir!
00:01:16Au revoir!
00:01:17Au revoir!
00:01:18Au revoir!
00:01:20Au revoir!
00:01:21Au revoir!
00:01:22Au revoir!
00:01:22Au revoir!
00:01:22Au revoir!
00:01:22Au revoir!
00:01:24Au revoir!
00:01:25Au revoir!
00:01:26Au revoir!
00:01:28Au revoir!
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.
00:01:43Sealy.
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, 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.
00:02:14Then you should not waltz.
00:02:16It is the quadril for you.
00:02:17Or, uh, the polka.
00:02:19Mm-hmm.
00:02:27Bonsoir, Jean-Baptiste.
00:02:29Bonsoir, Sherry.
00:02:31Aurillette.
00:02:31Late.
00:02:32On your sister's night.
00:02:34She forgets everything else when she's in the classroom.
00:02:37Forgive me, Sealy.
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.
00:02:54It was so dull without you on Sunday dinner.
00:02:58Mama didn't need a thing.
00:03:01Well, I, um...
00:03:04Only 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.
00:03:24If you keep your chin up.
00:03:27La.
00:03:28La.
00:03:28Chin up, chin up.
00:03:33I know you will have a wonderful time, ma chere.
00:03:36You look beautiful.
00:03:37But 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...
00:03:48Seeley, every man there will watch you dance and wish you were your partner.
00:03:51By the way, your bird's nest looks lovely.
00:03:54Mm-hmm.
00:03:55A bientot.
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.
00:04:43Very much.
00:05:02Amelia, I welcome you in the name of the Father, and children, 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.
00:05:29Well, 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 promise 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.
00:06:17Now, we start the bidding.
00:06:19I'm bidding at 150, ladies.
00:06:21150, do I hear 150?
00:06:23Yes, sir.
00:06:24200, anyone.
00:06:25200, 200.
00:06:27200, 200.
00:06:27Yes, sir.
00:06:28Thank you very much.
00:06:29250, you know.
00:06:30300, yes, 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 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.
00:07:51Jack!
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?
00:08:23No!
00:08:27Come on, ma'am.
00:08:30I'm coming.
00:08:31Let me help you.
00:08:34Look at that.
00:08:36Oh, my God.
00:08:48Apparently, I missed the Delta waters more than I knew.
00:08:52Oh, thank you. Thank you. So much trouble for such an old mate.
00:08:57Listen, I'll do it again. It's kind of hot out here anyway.
00:09:03Enough of that. It'll go to his head, and I'll get a week of sulking and slow service out of
00:09:09him.
00:09:09Sir, he dove in to save a woman's life, while the rest of you stood by checking your watch fobs.
00:09:14There are laws against Sasson.
00:09:18Better learn that for your own good.
00:09:24Jack, clean yourself up. I don't want people thinking that we dress you like that.
00:09:34Looks like Plainsbury and Sasson. How 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?
00:09:49Allow me to introduce myself. I am Gerard Gauthier. My parents have just taken up residence in a plantation up
00:09:55near Pontchart.
00:09:56Enchanté. I'm Marie Alicott. And these are my good friends, Julie Godin and Henriette DeLille.
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.
00:10:18But 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.
00:10:33Mm-hmm.
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.
00:10:49Oh, only we shall steadfastly live and encourage my mamaselle.
00:10:57One, two, three, four.
00:11:00Excellent. That's it for today.
00:11:02Au revoir. Merci.
00:11:05Thank you. Au revoir. Au revoir. Merci. Au revoir.
00:11:10Au revoir. Merci.
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, and to have your husband as a warden.
00:11:31A catacism class for girls this late?
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.
00:12:13God 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 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.
00:12:54I and Thaks out.
00:13:08Come on!
00:13:08Come on!
00:13:09Come on!
00:13:13Come on!
00:13:15Come on!
00:13:16Come on!
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.
00:13:31Do 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?
00:14:00You will not raid your heart for these white bastards to see.
00:14:16Come on, Henriette.
00:14:18She'll blame me if you're not ready.
00:14:20I hate this. You know how much I do.
00:14:24My mom was right about the green.
00:14:29You love him?
00:14:31Who?
00:14:32Samuel?
00:14:34Yes.
00:14:35It is promised that we will be together until we're old and crutchy.
00:14:41But 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...
00:14:57Look.
00:14:59Henriette, think before you speak.
00:15:04What made you think things would be different with us?
00:15:07Jean-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, and 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.
00:16:26I will not meet Paul Cartier.
00:16:29And how do you intend to live if you don't go to the ball, my dear?
00:16:33How will we?
00:16:35If you have not understood things,
00:16:38your papa has 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.
00:16:56Oh, Jean-Baptiste.
00:16:58If this is my house,
00:17:02get out.
00:17:21No, no, 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.
00:17:35All right.
00:17:38All right.
00:17:42Not a minute.
00:18:01There is no love here.
00:18:05This is what we do.
00:18:07We have no choices.
00:18:29I'm happy, mademoiselle.
00:18:35Shall we?
00:18:38Oh, yeah.
00:18:39Oh, yeah.
00:18:57No, no, no.
00:19:11May I?
00:19:12I'm with that.
00:19:38I'm with that.
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.
00:20:49I do not understand the way of things in America, yet.
00:21:01So this is what's to come of my steadfast belief in 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?
00:21:39Good night.
00:21:40Don'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.
00:22:58Who's there?
00:23:01Ariette?
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.
00:23:12You are always welcome here.
00:23:15In God's house.
00:23:18In God's house?
00:23:20Yes.
00:23:24Everyone's house.
00:23:38There you go.
00:23:41Good for you.
00:23:45Good for 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.
00:24:06I gave it up.
00:24:07Dr. Gauthier is trained in the most advanced medical science, and he has come to help our set up the
00:24:11infirmary.
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 hired God
00:24:30himself to cure them.
00:24:31They 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.
00:24:54So 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?
00:25:03She 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 Sealy?
00:25:30Miss Sealy!
00:25:31That's it?
00:25:32Memo 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, bring her home.
00:25:42Memo, she's screaming and running.
00:25:45I don't want to go get Henriette.
00:25:47I want her to tell her.
00:25:57We'll see you tomorrow, Memo.
00:25:59Yeah, 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 chère.
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 chère.
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?
00:38:43I'd rather pay.
00:38:44I don't know.
00:38:56I don't know.
00:39:00I don't know.
00:39:04I don't know.
00:39:08I don't know.

00:48:48hey i'm going to love you
00:49:17i can't get my kids
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.
00:50:19Oh, 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,
00:50:55and 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.
00:51:24Okay.
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 gave her peace.
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.
00:53:05I've prayed.
00:53:07I 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.
00:53:17That 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 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 Maman.
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.
00:56:57Oh, yeah.
00:56:58Look what I have.
00:57:01It's Cecilia.
00:57:02Her fever is very high.
00:57:04They say Creoles don't get it, but she 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, I'm...
00:57:15I know.
00:57:19I'm sorry.
00:57:22Me too.
00:57:23It would be nice to have a conversation between us
00:57:26where one of us does not have to say how sorry we are.
00:57:39Good Lord, it's my name.
00:57:43It's him.
00:57:45Our children have...
00:57:47Canine solution is very effective in...
00:57:50It's with me.
00:57:52It's with me.
00:57:53It's with me.
00:57:54We have another blessing.
00:57:56We have another blessing.
00:57:57Oh, Jesus.
00:57:59Oh, Mary.
00:58:00We have come.
00:58:01And we have a son of a man.
00:58:04Amen.
00:58:20You're going to pray for me, sister?
00:58:21With all my heart.
00:58:23Right there.
00:58:24How is Celie?
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.
00:58:56And 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.
00:59:05I'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.
01:00:03What do you want from me?
01:00:18Welcome.
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.
01:00:46Do you know what I see when I pray?
01:00:48I see the Virgin Mary?
01:00:49I see the Virgin Mary, but her skin is brown.
01:00:51The slaves and the Jean 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.
01:01:03Oh, yet there are forces against you.
01:01:07Powerful people who can ruin everything we've accomplished.
01:01:39We need to go slow.
01:01:40We need 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
01:01:49room as white.
01:02:07As I see by your costume, obedience is not a virtue you put much store by.
01:02:15Please, your excellence, just here an idea.
01:02:20There, 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
01:02:32house.
01:02:33You mean to build your own church now, complete with a convent?
01:02:39And we need you to bless the endeavor.
01:02:48As 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.
01:03:26No, I 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.
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 a 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, how we danced at the ball.
01:05:41Your papa never danced with another woman after he waltzed with me.
01:05:54Oh.
01:05:56Oh.
01:06:02Oh.
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 effective order, we need a place to live.
01:06:32An infirmary properly equipped.
01:06:33A 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 needs 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 to know their legacy is being used to serve the community.
01:07:01Julie?
01:07:02Julie, we need to sever all of our attachments.
01:07:04And Gerard?
01:07:05Were 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.
01:07:17Then a month.
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, a teaching hospital, quite experimental.
01:08:03You make a wonderful teacher.
01:08:06Oh, yes.
01:08:08Why 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.
01:08:24And that wasn't called for.
01:08:28The truth is I wanted to know whether you still will always love you.
01:08:37My parents have cut me off for refusing to marry the suitable woman they have found.
01:08:44A year ago, a year ago, a year ago, a year ago, a year ago, a year ago, a year
01:08:46ago.
01:08:46A year ago, I might have.
01:08:48But you changed me.
01:08:50I was haven't childweed.
01:08:51So, no, no, you're a good woman.
01:08:59Is thatыч.
01:09:19You're right.
01:09:40Oh, yes, it's official.
01:09:42The bishop says we can build a church if we can raise the funds.
01:10:03The bishop says we can build a church if we can raise the funds.
01:10:21The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:10:22The bishop says we can raise the funds.
01:11:13Alleluia!
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.
01:11:54We may not be nuns as yet, but the bishop will have to, at the very least, recognize our dedication.
01:12:01The 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.
01:12:21Our parish is very lucky to have you.
01:12:24I'm only disappointed we're suddenly so far from our goal.
01:12:28Rie, remember Sister Martha when we were in school?
01:12:31No cross, no crown?
01:12:33We are going to see this through until 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?
01:13:12Being 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.
01:13:38We 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.
01:14:06Here we go.
01:14:38Here we go.
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, to help you sleep.
01:15:15Did you love someone?
01:15:20I 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.
01:15:50Good night.
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, the hospitals are full.
01:16:12They're even turning away white folks.
01:16:15Run to the St. Michael's convent.
01:16:17Tell Sister Henriette and Julie, tell them to come fast as they can run.
01:16:29Sister Henriette.
01:16:32Hospital four, don't turn us away.
01:16:35Master Morgan, he's sick bad with fever.
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.
01:16:59There are more coming, white and black.
01:17:02Look at this, we need a miracle.
01:17:03Short of that, you must rest.
01:17:18Mary!
01:17:19Oh, Marie!
01:17:25I 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?
01:17:46I'm here, doctor
01:17:48My dear Henriette
01:17:49You know my wish is to give you so much more than mere medicine
01:17:54Whenever you are in need
01:17:55Look to your heart
01:17:57And I will be there
01:17:58Love, Gérald
01:18:49Please help him
01:18:52Please
01:18:53I'm so cold
01:18:59Can you forgive me?
01:19:02I'll send for Father Russel
01:19:13Sister
01:19:17I'm afraid
01:19:21Sister
01:19:22Forgive me
01:19:27I will pray for your forgiveness
01:19:30Mr. Morgan

01:22:48Look at the angel goddess sent us.
01:23:24Juliet, rest. I'll help you.
01:23:28Sister 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.
01:24:16Oh, no.
01:24:30Sister.
01:24:34Mouse'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.
01:24:49Then 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.
01:24:59And that feels mighty fine.
01:25:01God bless you.
01:25:03Goodbye, Sister.
01:25:05And thank you for everything.
01:25:14Goodbye, Sister,ERT.
01:25:26Bye, Sister,R
01:25:30Henriette'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.
01:26:09To be continued...
