00:00desperate populace looking for cures, fortune, and survival. Today, we're stepping into the
00:06atmospheric urban nightmare surrounding Enriqueta Martí, a woman whose life and capture exposed the
00:14deepest, most macabre underbelly of the early 20th century Europe. In early 1912, the working-class
00:24neighborhood of El Raval in Barcelona was a maze of shadowy streets, cheap boarding houses, and
00:29secret parlors. Enriqueta Martí moved through this world like a chameleon. Outwardly, she wore simple
00:40multiple masks, depending on who was watching. To the poor of El Raval, she was an austere,
00:47deeply religious woman who offered fortune-telling, traditional medicine, and herbal remedies. To the
00:54wealthy elites of Barcelona's high society, she was an elusive purveyor of expensive folk cures,
01:00rare cosmetics, and black market tonics.
