Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:20,368 --> 00:00:22,805
Violet? You're an
absolute killjoy.
2
00:00:22,892 --> 00:00:24,763
I'm sorry. I don't
know anyone here.
3
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:27,114
That's what a party's for,
make a new friend.
4
00:00:27,201 --> 00:00:29,203
You never know, it could
be a Hollywood star
5
00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:30,552
or a bank man.
6
00:00:30,639 --> 00:00:32,597
The Bartlebys have
a beautiful home.
7
00:00:32,684 --> 00:00:34,425
Of course they have
a beautiful home
8
00:00:34,512 --> 00:00:37,211
they built the railroad
from here to Timbuktu.
9
00:00:37,298 --> 00:00:39,648
Do you think if you're this
rich you wake up in the morning
10
00:00:39,735 --> 00:00:41,432
feeling very different
from how we feel?
11
00:00:41,519 --> 00:00:43,695
Sure. You wake up warm.
12
00:00:43,782 --> 00:00:45,480
There's Bartleby.
13
00:00:45,567 --> 00:00:48,135
'Oh! He makes Valentino
look like a slob.'
14
00:00:48,222 --> 00:00:50,180
I bet these Bartlebys
feel well-rested
15
00:00:50,267 --> 00:00:52,226
and clear every day.
16
00:00:52,313 --> 00:00:53,836
Because they don't have
to dream at night.
17
00:00:53,923 --> 00:00:55,098
Why would they?
18
00:00:55,185 --> 00:00:56,491
You're an odd duck, Violet.
19
00:00:56,578 --> 00:00:58,275
But I like you.
20
00:00:58,362 --> 00:01:00,103
I swear, 1929 is gonna be
21
00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:03,106
the most splendid year of my
life. I'm gonna see the world.
22
00:01:03,193 --> 00:01:06,153
And I swear to meet a wealthy
man who's also handsome.
23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,589
Two!
24
00:01:07,676 --> 00:01:08,851
One!
25
00:01:08,938 --> 00:01:11,636
Happy New Year!
26
00:02:15,178 --> 00:02:17,963
- Hi.
- Hi.
27
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:20,096
I got a cup for you, too.
28
00:02:20,183 --> 00:02:21,402
I don't think it's too cold
but you could
29
00:02:21,489 --> 00:02:23,012
stick a finger in and see.
30
00:02:23,099 --> 00:02:24,318
Had some at home.
31
00:02:24,405 --> 00:02:26,363
I'm so relieved to see you.
32
00:02:26,450 --> 00:02:27,930
I mean, I read about what
happened to you last year
33
00:02:28,017 --> 00:02:29,627
with that maniac.
34
00:02:29,714 --> 00:02:31,977
But you're doing well?
35
00:02:33,544 --> 00:02:36,243
I...I thought maybe
you would call.
36
00:02:37,374 --> 00:02:39,768
I wanted to give you your space.
37
00:02:39,855 --> 00:02:42,901
You look fine.
38
00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:43,946
So do you.
39
00:02:44,033 --> 00:02:46,035
It's 'cause I'm happy.
40
00:02:46,122 --> 00:02:48,385
It's 'cause I'm getting married.
41
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:51,388
That's why you wanted to see me?
42
00:02:51,475 --> 00:02:53,608
Lilly, when you know
someone's right for you
43
00:02:53,695 --> 00:02:55,653
you just feel it
undeniably in your bones.
44
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:59,396
You ever had
that feeling?
45
00:02:59,483 --> 00:03:01,616
- What's his name?
- Jackie.
46
00:03:01,703 --> 00:03:04,532
So, will you let me buy you
a beautiful dress and shoes
47
00:03:04,619 --> 00:03:07,099
and will you be
my maid of honor?
48
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:08,536
What about Chris?
49
00:03:08,623 --> 00:03:10,886
You're my firstborn.
Chris will understand.
50
00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:12,061
You can't find her, can you?
51
00:03:12,148 --> 00:03:13,367
Your sister's not
like you and me.
52
00:03:13,454 --> 00:03:15,020
She doesn't need a home base.
53
00:03:15,107 --> 00:03:16,544
She's running
from the law, mom.
54
00:03:16,631 --> 00:03:18,023
Lilly, watch what you
say about your sister.
55
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:19,329
Yeah, I'm really busy. So--
56
00:03:19,416 --> 00:03:20,548
Yeah, I know, your job's
important to you.
57
00:03:20,635 --> 00:03:21,984
Well, yeah,
we're overloaded.
58
00:03:22,071 --> 00:03:23,333
- Sorry.
- Right.
59
00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:25,205
Well, don't have to make
a decision now.
60
00:03:25,292 --> 00:03:26,945
Have dinner with me
and Jackie.
61
00:03:27,032 --> 00:03:28,208
I-I'll see.
62
00:03:28,295 --> 00:03:29,731
Okay.
63
00:03:36,477 --> 00:03:39,480
My great-grandmother
was murdered in 1929.
64
00:03:40,829 --> 00:03:44,180
1929. Alright.
65
00:03:44,267 --> 00:03:46,791
I know it was a long
time ago, but I felt like
66
00:03:46,878 --> 00:03:49,446
I had to come
in here for myself.
67
00:03:49,533 --> 00:03:51,622
I've been preparing,
doing the family history
68
00:03:51,709 --> 00:03:54,059
and I found
this online.
69
00:03:56,279 --> 00:03:57,367
A death certificate.
70
00:03:57,454 --> 00:03:59,587
All I've got.
71
00:03:59,674 --> 00:04:00,849
There's no relatives listed
72
00:04:00,936 --> 00:04:02,981
just the boarding house
where she lived.
73
00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:05,027
She gave up my grandmother
for adoption
74
00:04:05,114 --> 00:04:06,115
'so all we've ever known'
75
00:04:06,202 --> 00:04:09,074
is her name, Violet Polley.
76
00:04:09,161 --> 00:04:11,294
That's not a lot
for us to go on.
77
00:04:13,122 --> 00:04:14,471
- Detective Rush, Aimee Goodman.
- Hi.
78
00:04:16,517 --> 00:04:20,172
Aimee's great-grandmother
was murdered in '29.
79
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,652
'29, huh?
80
00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:23,611
Do you ever feel like you
want to change your life
81
00:04:23,698 --> 00:04:25,569
but you can't outrun
your screwed-up family?
82
00:04:26,570 --> 00:04:27,702
Yeah.
83
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:30,966
Well, the women in my family
84
00:04:31,053 --> 00:04:33,490
have not had the greatest lives.
85
00:04:33,577 --> 00:04:35,362
I think it goes
back to Violet.
86
00:04:35,449 --> 00:04:38,626
Like...a curse
hanging over us.
87
00:04:38,713 --> 00:04:40,628
'The thing is, uh..'
88
00:04:40,715 --> 00:04:42,804
...look, we're swamped
right now, Aimee.
89
00:04:42,891 --> 00:04:45,241
Just not a lot
of spare time.
90
00:04:46,503 --> 00:04:48,157
We'll make the time.
91
00:04:51,203 --> 00:04:53,293
I'll give it
every second I have.
92
00:05:26,456 --> 00:05:27,370
'Violet Polley, found dead'
93
00:05:27,457 --> 00:05:30,591
on Christmas day,1929.
94
00:05:30,678 --> 00:05:32,288
Cause of death,
fractured skull
95
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:34,203
from a blow to the head.
96
00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:36,248
Photo doesn't show a lot of
blood at the crime scene.
97
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,512
'So she didn't ' die there.
Body was dumped.'
98
00:05:38,599 --> 00:05:39,991
Looks like she
didn't have family
99
00:05:40,078 --> 00:05:42,516
to spend the holidays
with, none listed.
100
00:05:42,603 --> 00:05:44,909
Home address is Darlington
boarding house in old city.
101
00:05:44,996 --> 00:05:46,171
I know that place.
102
00:05:46,258 --> 00:05:47,608
It's on the historical register.
103
00:05:47,695 --> 00:05:49,610
Susan B. Anthony lived
there for a time.
104
00:05:49,697 --> 00:05:51,829
Made us go there
in junior high.
105
00:05:51,916 --> 00:05:53,962
Can't remember a thing
except the gift shop.
106
00:05:54,049 --> 00:05:57,052
Guys in evidence whined at me
like a bunch of pre-teens.
107
00:05:57,139 --> 00:05:59,315
Guess they hate dust.
108
00:05:59,402 --> 00:06:01,796
All the belongings
Violet had with her
109
00:06:01,883 --> 00:06:03,885
when the body was found.
110
00:06:06,235 --> 00:06:08,106
What's that?
111
00:06:08,193 --> 00:06:09,325
- A rattle.
- For her baby.
112
00:06:09,412 --> 00:06:10,892
Aimee's grandmother.
113
00:06:10,979 --> 00:06:13,111
- We know who the father was?
- No one knows.
114
00:06:13,198 --> 00:06:15,636
Don't even know specifically
when the baby was born.
115
00:06:15,723 --> 00:06:17,377
Just that she was brought
up at St. Mary's orphanage
116
00:06:17,464 --> 00:06:18,943
'in Germantown.'
117
00:06:19,030 --> 00:06:20,728
Start with the Darlington
boarding house.
118
00:06:20,815 --> 00:06:23,295
Maybe they can fill in the gaps
on Violet staying there.
119
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:26,168
Okay.
120
00:06:26,255 --> 00:06:28,170
How'd it go with
your mom this morning?
121
00:06:28,257 --> 00:06:30,433
She's getting married.
122
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,261
Ah.
123
00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:34,176
For the fourth time.
124
00:06:37,745 --> 00:06:40,487
'That quilt was made from hand.'
125
00:06:40,574 --> 00:06:42,576
'Amazing, right?'
126
00:06:42,663 --> 00:06:45,535
That's a girl with time
on her hands.
127
00:06:45,622 --> 00:06:46,971
Better than snacking.
128
00:06:47,058 --> 00:06:48,364
Single girls
129
00:06:48,451 --> 00:06:51,933
lived in this place
from 1860 to 1934
130
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:54,109
and left a lot behind.
131
00:06:54,196 --> 00:06:55,893
Quilt included.
132
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:57,373
Plus, this.
133
00:06:59,462 --> 00:07:02,726
- Girl's journal.
- Covers the years '28 and '29.
134
00:07:02,813 --> 00:07:04,946
Ever seen the name
Violet Polley in there?
135
00:07:05,033 --> 00:07:07,470
She's one of your
main characters.
136
00:07:07,557 --> 00:07:09,777
Uh, starting on this page.
137
00:07:13,563 --> 00:07:15,565
"Ginger Swensen
made it her business
138
00:07:15,652 --> 00:07:17,741
"to turn Violet
from a rag-a-muffin
139
00:07:17,828 --> 00:07:19,003
to a real Sheba."
140
00:07:19,090 --> 00:07:21,092
No kidding. What's the date?
141
00:07:21,179 --> 00:07:23,530
December 31, 1928.
New Year's eve.
142
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:27,447
"First order of business,
the hair."
143
00:07:33,627 --> 00:07:35,803
I won't even
recognize myself.
144
00:07:35,890 --> 00:07:38,153
That's the idea,
out with the old
145
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,808
in with the swanky.
146
00:07:40,895 --> 00:07:42,462
Where'd you say
you're from, Violet?
147
00:07:42,549 --> 00:07:44,768
Oley Valley, near reading.
148
00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:47,379
- Mm?
- I don't drink.
149
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:48,816
I keep my mind sharp
because I'm a writer.
150
00:07:50,948 --> 00:07:53,560
Well, that's funny, 'cause
every writer I've ever met
151
00:07:53,647 --> 00:07:57,085
is fried to the hat or passed
out on Nick Bartleby's couch.
152
00:07:57,172 --> 00:07:59,174
Violet, you got a daddy?
153
00:07:59,261 --> 00:08:00,436
He's dead.
154
00:08:00,523 --> 00:08:02,525
And my mother, too.
155
00:08:02,612 --> 00:08:04,919
- I mean, fella.
- Oh.
156
00:08:05,006 --> 00:08:08,400
I did, but...
that's all over.
157
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:09,967
The male persuasion are saps
158
00:08:10,054 --> 00:08:11,316
all of 'em.
159
00:08:11,403 --> 00:08:13,101
I moved to Philadelphia
because that's what
160
00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:15,016
the bus ticket I stole
said on it.
161
00:08:15,103 --> 00:08:16,670
What about you?
162
00:08:16,757 --> 00:08:20,064
I heard a song on the radio
one day, back at home.
163
00:08:20,151 --> 00:08:23,024
It was the most on-the-level
song I'd ever heard
164
00:08:23,111 --> 00:08:27,289
and when it was over,
I felt utterly different.
165
00:08:27,376 --> 00:08:28,682
What song?
166
00:08:28,769 --> 00:08:31,641
"Poor man's blues"
by Bessie Smith.
167
00:08:31,728 --> 00:08:33,338
'That's why I'm here'
168
00:08:33,425 --> 00:08:35,906
to sell my songs
to wonderful singers.
169
00:08:35,993 --> 00:08:38,387
But Bessie Smith's a negro.
170
00:08:38,474 --> 00:08:40,998
A writer needs to see the world.
171
00:08:41,085 --> 00:08:44,262
Well, it ain't the world,
it's Philadelphia.
172
00:08:44,349 --> 00:08:46,743
We'll see it tonight
at the Bartleby mansion.
173
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:48,702
It's gonna be the berries.
174
00:08:53,663 --> 00:08:55,926
Bartleby mansion. Hmm.
175
00:08:56,013 --> 00:08:57,362
You seen that place?
176
00:08:57,449 --> 00:09:00,670
I could fit 25 of my
apartments in there.
177
00:09:00,757 --> 00:09:03,238
Those people were
American royalty.
178
00:09:03,325 --> 00:09:05,545
Their parties were known
all over the east coast.
179
00:09:05,632 --> 00:09:07,851
Pretty good invitation for
a boarding-house girl.
180
00:09:07,938 --> 00:09:10,071
The girls who stayed here
would've been single
181
00:09:10,158 --> 00:09:11,986
and on the younger side.
182
00:09:12,073 --> 00:09:13,770
Ain't a party
without cute girls.
183
00:09:15,424 --> 00:09:17,078
Any Bartlebys left in Philly?
184
00:09:17,165 --> 00:09:19,820
Nick Bartleby died in a hunting
accident, I know that
185
00:09:19,907 --> 00:09:22,823
and the only one that's left
here is Muriel, and they say
186
00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:25,695
the old girl hasn't
left the house in years.
187
00:09:27,218 --> 00:09:28,916
Can we borrow this journal?
188
00:09:29,003 --> 00:09:31,527
Well, it's bad enough
I'm letting you touch it
189
00:09:31,614 --> 00:09:34,008
with your bare hands.
190
00:09:34,878 --> 00:09:36,053
Fine.
191
00:09:36,140 --> 00:09:40,101
But no direct sunlight,
and no moisture.
192
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:55,943
I was plotting my escape, but
then I found something helpful.
193
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,988
Shh!
194
00:10:02,384 --> 00:10:04,212
'WPA transcripts.'
195
00:10:04,299 --> 00:10:06,344
Interviewee,
Ginger Swensen.
196
00:10:06,431 --> 00:10:07,650
Name from the
boarding house journal.
197
00:10:07,737 --> 00:10:09,521
Girl who cut Violet's hair.
198
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,872
WPA, during the new deal
199
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:14,396
paid people to do interviews
with everyday Joes.
200
00:10:14,483 --> 00:10:17,791
This Ginger was one of them
talking about her roarin' 20s.
201
00:10:17,878 --> 00:10:20,445
"Before the big crash,
we whooped it up."
202
00:10:20,532 --> 00:10:22,752
According to this,
biggest whoop of all
203
00:10:22,839 --> 00:10:24,536
was that New Year's eve party.
204
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:26,887
"Where a friend of mine,
an inexperienced farm girl
205
00:10:26,974 --> 00:10:31,282
from Oley valley, had a bit
too much to drink."
206
00:10:32,675 --> 00:10:34,721
Mine, it's my house.
207
00:10:34,808 --> 00:10:37,593
Your brother says to bed
right now, Muriel.
208
00:10:41,945 --> 00:10:43,686
You were right about liquor.
209
00:10:43,773 --> 00:10:46,254
It is an artist's
best friend.
210
00:10:46,341 --> 00:10:50,606
I'm full of a certain
joie de vivre.
211
00:10:50,693 --> 00:10:52,869
I'd like to sing a song
for everyone.
212
00:10:52,956 --> 00:10:54,828
Bet it's the cat's pajamas.
213
00:10:54,915 --> 00:10:56,177
Hit it, Violet.
214
00:11:01,965 --> 00:11:03,097
Violet?
215
00:11:22,943 --> 00:11:25,206
Hello!
216
00:11:25,293 --> 00:11:27,425
This is a lovely party.
217
00:11:27,512 --> 00:11:31,038
This song is about poor
farmers where I'm from.
218
00:11:31,125 --> 00:11:32,474
Enjoy!

244
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:29,809
What's your name?
245
00:13:29,896 --> 00:13:31,680
I am Felix Spyczyk.
246
00:13:31,767 --> 00:13:33,856
'Happy New Year, Mr. Spyczyk.'
247
00:13:33,943 --> 00:13:35,118
Hey, what do you
mean to do here?
248
00:13:35,205 --> 00:13:38,208
Come with me,
someplace private.
249
00:13:38,295 --> 00:13:39,688
What kind of girl
do you think I am?
250
00:13:39,775 --> 00:13:42,822
Kind of girl who drinks
too much champagne.
251
00:13:42,909 --> 00:13:45,128
Uh, get your filthy
hands off me, mister!
252
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:49,350
"We were only young girls
with the most vague idea
253
00:13:49,437 --> 00:13:51,787
of what catching a man's
eye could really mean."
254
00:13:51,874 --> 00:13:53,789
So this Spyczyk takes
advantage of the girls
255
00:13:53,876 --> 00:13:55,269
at his boss's party.
256
00:13:55,356 --> 00:13:57,314
Maybe what he did to
her had consequences.
257
00:13:57,401 --> 00:13:58,838
And those consequences
258
00:13:58,925 --> 00:14:01,362
wound up at St. Mary's
orphanage without a mother.
259
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,978
Felix Spyczyk was
Bartleby's driver.
260
00:14:09,065 --> 00:14:11,459
That's what he told the
arresting officer in 1922.
261
00:14:11,546 --> 00:14:14,549
When he's picked up for
illegal possession of liquor.
262
00:14:14,636 --> 00:14:16,333
Don't forget frequenting
a bawdy house in '28
263
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:18,292
and possession of opium, '25.
264
00:14:18,379 --> 00:14:20,729
'Not the man you'd want around
the young girls at your party.'
265
00:14:20,816 --> 00:14:22,470
Be great to ask
the Bartlebys about it.
266
00:14:22,557 --> 00:14:24,951
Kat and Scotty went to the
mansion this morning. No answer.
267
00:14:25,038 --> 00:14:26,387
Family lawyer hasn't
returned any calls.
268
00:14:26,474 --> 00:14:28,084
'Hey.'
269
00:14:28,171 --> 00:14:29,694
Heard about your
Bartleby visit.
270
00:14:29,781 --> 00:14:31,740
Could've sworn I saw Muriel
through the curtains.
271
00:14:31,827 --> 00:14:33,524
She must leave
the house sometimes.
272
00:14:33,611 --> 00:14:36,179
Lie in wait while she
gets the morning paper?
273
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:38,790
Uh, your mom called a few times.
274
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,314
Wanted to make sure
you had the address
275
00:14:40,401 --> 00:14:41,837
for the restaurant.
276
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:45,188
She wants me to be
her maid of honor.
277
00:14:45,275 --> 00:14:47,321
Buttering you up
with a free meal.
278
00:14:47,408 --> 00:14:50,280
I guess, if I go, at least
she'll stop calling.
279
00:14:54,502 --> 00:14:56,852
'We're investigating
the murder of a girl seen'
280
00:14:56,939 --> 00:14:59,637
at the Bartleby
New Year's eve party, 1928
281
00:14:59,724 --> 00:15:02,771
being manhandled
by Felix Spyczyk.
282
00:15:02,858 --> 00:15:04,773
My grandfather did many
things during that period
283
00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:06,514
that he was not proud of.
284
00:15:06,601 --> 00:15:08,255
'Includes everything
on his criminal record'
285
00:15:08,342 --> 00:15:11,301
and whatever young girls
he was seen manhandling.
286
00:15:11,388 --> 00:15:12,607
He told you about that?
287
00:15:12,694 --> 00:15:14,478
It was part of his job.
288
00:15:14,565 --> 00:15:17,003
- He was a procurer.
- For Bartleby.
289
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:19,266
Whatever the great man wanted
that's what my grandfather
290
00:15:19,353 --> 00:15:20,441
had to get him.
291
00:15:20,528 --> 00:15:21,790
Booze and girls.
292
00:15:21,877 --> 00:15:24,401
Serves the guy for seven years
293
00:15:24,488 --> 00:15:27,970
then one day,
Nick Bartleby fires him.
294
00:15:28,057 --> 00:15:29,537
Plucks a clock off the mantle
295
00:15:29,624 --> 00:15:31,931
and says, "Take this
and hit the road."
296
00:15:32,018 --> 00:15:33,193
He made good, though.
297
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,282
Sold the
clock for $75
298
00:15:35,369 --> 00:15:37,545
and started Spyczyk shipping.
299
00:15:37,632 --> 00:15:42,767
Took me years, but I tracked it
down bought it at auction.
300
00:15:42,854 --> 00:15:45,466
'Your grandfather tell you a lot
about his days with Bartleby?'
301
00:15:45,553 --> 00:15:49,165
At the end of his life,
he wanted to tell his stories.
302
00:15:49,252 --> 00:15:53,039
So I listened
and made tapes of them.
303
00:15:53,126 --> 00:15:56,042
How about the night he
procured Violet Polley
304
00:15:56,129 --> 00:15:57,869
at the New Year's party?
305
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:01,221
The one girl who said
no to Nick Bartleby.
306
00:16:05,051 --> 00:16:08,793
'She said, "My name is
Violet Polley from Oley valley'
307
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,709
'and I am a songwriter,
not a boozy floozy."'
308
00:16:11,796 --> 00:16:13,624
That's her, our girl.
309
00:16:13,711 --> 00:16:15,887
'Mr. Bartleby had said to me'
310
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:17,846
'"Get the singing dame."'
311
00:16:17,933 --> 00:16:19,500
'So I did.'
312
00:16:23,156 --> 00:16:24,331
Let me out!
313
00:16:26,028 --> 00:16:29,118
Okay, Spyczyk, old boy,
let her out!
314
00:16:29,205 --> 00:16:31,164
You told me
bring this one.
315
00:16:31,251 --> 00:16:32,861
'Not if she's violently
opposed to being'
316
00:16:32,948 --> 00:16:37,083
'in the same room with me,
which she clearly is.'
317
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:38,867
That is, unless I'm growing on
you and you'd like a drink.
318
00:16:38,954 --> 00:16:39,911
No, thank you.
319
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,304
'Wait! Spyczyk,
bar the door'
320
00:16:41,391 --> 00:16:42,914
'until the lady
answers one question.'
321
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:45,265
What on earth was that song?
322
00:16:45,352 --> 00:16:48,746
"One last dress" is
an original by Violet Polley.
323
00:16:48,833 --> 00:16:50,922
Oh, I know her. She's known
to get a little soused
324
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,186
at soirees and show
her knickers to strangers.
325
00:16:53,273 --> 00:16:56,058
I do not!
326
00:16:56,145 --> 00:16:57,538
Well, darn it.
327
00:17:00,715 --> 00:17:02,630
Do you ever miss being
part of the human race
328
00:17:02,717 --> 00:17:04,240
with the rest of us
329
00:17:04,327 --> 00:17:08,766
or do you like life
up on your mountain?
330
00:17:08,853 --> 00:17:10,333
I don't think I'm any better
than the average Joe
331
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:11,856
if that's what you're implying.
332
00:17:11,943 --> 00:17:13,989
I just wonder if it gets old
333
00:17:14,076 --> 00:17:17,558
waking up each morning
with nothing to work for.
334
00:17:17,645 --> 00:17:21,997
If I had a talent like yours,
I would work, Violet Polley.
335
00:17:22,084 --> 00:17:23,042
Thank you, Mr. Bartleby.
336
00:17:23,129 --> 00:17:24,782
But as God made me
337
00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:27,089
I can only offer you charm
which does nothing for you.
338
00:17:27,176 --> 00:17:28,308
True.
339
00:17:28,395 --> 00:17:29,918
And my loyal driver Spyczyk
340
00:17:30,005 --> 00:17:31,702
'half as handsome but twice
the man that I am.'
341
00:17:31,789 --> 00:17:34,096
He and I can see you safely
home in my Packard.
342
00:17:34,183 --> 00:17:35,750
I don't think so.
343
00:17:35,837 --> 00:17:37,621
I'm a songwriter,
Mr. Bartleby
344
00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:40,015
not a boozy floozy.
345
00:17:49,807 --> 00:17:51,983
So Violet rejected
Nick Bartleby.
346
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:53,420
That's a bold move.
347
00:17:53,507 --> 00:17:56,075
Here's the punch line,
Bartleby loved it.
348
00:17:56,162 --> 00:17:58,599
The one girl who says
no turns his head?
349
00:17:58,686 --> 00:18:01,384
Sent 300 flowers to her
boarding house the next day.
350
00:18:01,471 --> 00:18:05,040
Told my grandfather to lay them
thick as oriental carpet.
351
00:18:05,127 --> 00:18:06,607
How many of those tapes you got?
352
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:07,999
Days worth.
353
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:11,699
How much would you like
to know about Poland?
354
00:18:11,786 --> 00:18:13,004
We'll get back to you.
355
00:18:15,268 --> 00:18:17,618
"300 flowers" is the name
of an old blues standard.
356
00:18:17,705 --> 00:18:19,402
Yeah?
357
00:18:19,489 --> 00:18:22,840
The lyrics go "Like an oriental
carpet, thick and sweet."
358
00:18:22,927 --> 00:18:25,669
Violet was a songwriter.
Where'd you hear that?
359
00:18:25,756 --> 00:18:28,585
Singer I know
covers it, Lena.
360
00:18:28,672 --> 00:18:30,021
Lena, huh?
361
00:18:31,936 --> 00:18:34,330
Let me get a look
at the threads.
362
00:18:34,417 --> 00:18:36,376
- Alright.
- What are you doing?
363
00:18:36,463 --> 00:18:37,899
Just making sure you look good
enough to see the woman
364
00:18:37,986 --> 00:18:39,857
you talk about in your sleep.
365
00:18:39,944 --> 00:18:41,468
We're going to see her.
366
00:18:41,555 --> 00:18:42,947
Not we.
367
00:18:47,517 --> 00:18:49,954
"300 flowers"
by V. Polley.
368
00:18:50,041 --> 00:18:51,739
So she got a song published.
369
00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:53,436
Few dollars in her pocket.
370
00:18:53,523 --> 00:18:57,179
Pretty upbeat song,
but it is about a love triangle.
371
00:18:57,266 --> 00:18:59,050
Woman choosing between two men.
372
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:00,922
Mm-hmm.
373
00:19:01,009 --> 00:19:05,100
"When I gave up what was ours
I met a man so kind."
374
00:19:05,187 --> 00:19:06,884
Nick Bartleby could be
the kind one.
375
00:19:06,971 --> 00:19:08,930
Leaving a woman
300 flowers
376
00:19:09,017 --> 00:19:11,846
is kind.
377
00:19:11,933 --> 00:19:14,065

You're acting

I won't go home with you

'I don't want

395
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:17,607

Song says "I left behind

Could be.
417
00:21:21,845 --> 00:21:23,586

to something scandalous.
419
00:21:26,415 --> 00:21:28,591

but he gets thrown over
for someone new.
422
00:21:33,814 --> 00:21:37,165
Many sad songs written
about being thrown over.
423
00:21:37,252 --> 00:21:39,298
Many lives ended over it, too.
424
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:46,522
We got the hometown
boyfriend's full name
425
00:21:46,609 --> 00:21:48,959
'from the boarding house
journal, Jeb Shiner.'
426
00:21:49,046 --> 00:21:51,005
Anything on him being
the father of Violet's kid?
427
00:21:51,092 --> 00:21:52,267
'Not yet, but'
428
00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:54,617
we know he didn't kill Violet.
429
00:21:54,704 --> 00:21:57,968
He was too busy with his pig.
430
00:21:58,055 --> 00:22:00,231
"Farmer's almanac."
431
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,538
'"Jeb Shiner of Reading,
Pennsylvania'

433
00:22:06,673 --> 00:22:08,283
Three days before
Violet was killed.
434
00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:10,590
And the pig contest
was in California.
435
00:22:10,677 --> 00:22:12,461
In 1929,it would've taken him
more than three days
436
00:22:12,548 --> 00:22:14,158
to get from there to here.
437
00:22:14,245 --> 00:22:17,161
So Jeb wasn't in Philadelphia
when Violet died.
438
00:22:17,248 --> 00:22:19,163
What'd you dig up on
the Bartleby relationship?
439
00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:21,122

Who's that?
445

'Had a burlesque show.'

off-again thing.

00:25:45,587 --> 00:25:47,197
Well, that, that was then.
526
00:25:47,284 --> 00:25:51,158
A few months after that,
the girls made up.
527
00:25:51,245 --> 00:25:52,376
How do you know about it?
528
00:25:52,463 --> 00:25:53,682
My granddad was there.
529
00:25:53,769 --> 00:25:55,336
It was after one of Carmela's
530
00:25:55,423 --> 00:25:59,470
"Dragon lady" performances
at the Black Cat House.
531
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:02,648
Such gorgeous silk.
532
00:26:02,735 --> 00:26:04,345
Straight from
the orient, darling.
533
00:26:04,432 --> 00:26:05,825
'I've got a china man
mad for me.'
534
00:26:05,912 --> 00:26:08,262
He thinks I'd be big
as tea over there.
535
00:26:09,872 --> 00:26:12,222
'Hello, Carmela.'
536
00:26:12,309 --> 00:26:14,660
Can I have one moment
of your time?
537
00:26:14,747 --> 00:26:17,097
Autographed pictures in an hour,
behind the stage door.
538
00:26:17,184 --> 00:26:19,752
- Shoo, fly.
- It's alright, Mickey.
539
00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:21,405
Don't you know who this is?
540
00:26:21,492 --> 00:26:23,059
It's Nick Bartleby's girl.
541
00:26:23,146 --> 00:26:24,887
Oh, dear.
542
00:26:24,974 --> 00:26:26,889
Carmela, please
don't turn me away.
543
00:26:26,976 --> 00:26:30,501
I'd like to ask you something.
544
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:31,546
Well, what is it?
545
00:26:33,766 --> 00:26:36,595
I'm a songwriter,
writing original tunes.
546
00:26:36,682 --> 00:26:38,466
I write from the soul,
about the plight
547
00:26:38,553 --> 00:26:40,642
of the average Jack or Jane.
548
00:26:40,729 --> 00:26:42,688
People like my parents were
549
00:26:42,775 --> 00:26:45,038
humble, good people..
550
00:26:47,170 --> 00:26:49,608
- Get her a soda water.
- Yes.
551
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,657
I'm sorry.
This is so strange.
552
00:26:55,744 --> 00:26:58,094
You been cryin'
like this regular?
553
00:26:58,181 --> 00:26:59,356
Nick's in Europe.
554
00:26:59,443 --> 00:27:00,923
I suppose I miss him.
555
00:27:01,010 --> 00:27:02,185
Feelin' queasy, too?
556
00:27:02,272 --> 00:27:04,274
Achy, like you got the flu?
557
00:27:04,361 --> 00:27:05,624
Yeah. That's it.
558
00:27:05,711 --> 00:27:06,886
'You had it, too?'
559
00:27:06,973 --> 00:27:09,715
I did. Once.
560
00:27:09,802 --> 00:27:13,240
You're knocked up, kid.
561
00:27:13,327 --> 00:27:15,677
No.
562
00:27:15,764 --> 00:27:18,071
What would you know about it?
You don't have kids.
563
00:27:18,158 --> 00:27:20,943
It doesn't always have to
end that way.
564
00:27:21,030 --> 00:27:23,424
But judging by the way you
filled out through the middle
565
00:27:23,511 --> 00:27:26,253
it's too late
for you.
566
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:28,298
I don't know what I'll do.
567
00:27:28,385 --> 00:27:30,213
I've almost run
through my savings.
568
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,650
Nick's gone
569
00:27:31,737 --> 00:27:34,174
and I've been
too ill to get a job.
570
00:27:34,261 --> 00:27:36,176
What about your humble parents?
571
00:27:38,047 --> 00:27:39,309
They're gone.
572
00:27:40,963 --> 00:27:43,400
Uh...cigarette?
573
00:27:43,487 --> 00:27:44,663
Scotch?
574
00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:46,708
No, thank you.
575
00:27:46,795 --> 00:27:50,451
Kid, how much for a song?
576
00:27:50,538 --> 00:27:51,931
How many do you want?
577
00:27:52,018 --> 00:27:54,063
How many you got?
578
00:27:58,024 --> 00:27:59,721
It was Nick Bartleby's baby.
579
00:27:59,808 --> 00:28:01,636
Aimee's a Bartleby.
580
00:28:01,723 --> 00:28:02,942
That ought a blow her socks off.
581
00:28:03,029 --> 00:28:04,683
I know I'd be thrilled.
582
00:28:04,770 --> 00:28:06,685
Rich guy doesn't wanna set up
camp with his side dish?
583
00:28:06,772 --> 00:28:08,338
And her illegitimate child.
584
00:28:08,425 --> 00:28:11,515
Gorgeous, rich man
seeks poor songwriter
585
00:28:11,602 --> 00:28:14,301
to birth scion and live
in marital bliss?
586
00:28:16,085 --> 00:28:17,913
I don't think so.
587
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:30,839
Are you dating anyone?
588
00:28:30,926 --> 00:28:32,711
Ray came through town.
589
00:28:34,451 --> 00:28:36,105
Uh-oh. Who's he?
590
00:28:36,192 --> 00:28:39,239
I want better for you, is all.
591
00:28:39,326 --> 00:28:42,459
Well, there was this DA.
592
00:28:42,546 --> 00:28:44,418
Kite.
593
00:28:44,505 --> 00:28:45,636
He was a good one, but--
594
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:47,987
He was too good, right?
595
00:28:48,074 --> 00:28:49,597
Not for me. I'm a lightweight.
596
00:28:49,684 --> 00:28:51,251
- She is.
- Alright.
597
00:28:51,338 --> 00:28:52,818
Remember when
you broke your jaw?
598
00:28:52,905 --> 00:28:54,602
She was always into something.
599
00:28:54,689 --> 00:28:56,822
What happened? You fell, right?
600
00:28:56,909 --> 00:28:58,606
A broken jaw is horrible.
601
00:28:58,693 --> 00:29:01,174
She used to run out in the
middle of the night, I can't
602
00:29:01,261 --> 00:29:03,176
believe I even slept,
I'd worry so much.
603
00:29:03,263 --> 00:29:04,960
I was attacked.
604
00:29:05,047 --> 00:29:07,180
I didn't fall.
605
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:11,488
We lived
in some bad neighborhoods.
606
00:29:13,403 --> 00:29:15,841
How about I check on our order?
607
00:29:17,712 --> 00:29:19,409
The look on your face,
all night, what?
608
00:29:19,496 --> 00:29:20,759
He doesn't even know
that you're an alcoholic?
609
00:29:20,846 --> 00:29:23,370
Was. You could try
being polite to him.
610
00:29:23,457 --> 00:29:25,459
- This is my new husband.
- For the next month.
611
00:29:25,546 --> 00:29:27,635
Oh, stop it.
Maybe I fail, but I try.
612
00:29:27,722 --> 00:29:29,680
It's more than failed
when you bring home guys
613
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:31,378
who hit you,
who steal from you.
614
00:29:31,465 --> 00:29:33,119
But I try.
615
00:29:33,206 --> 00:29:37,166
Okay? I find happiness,
if only for a little while.
616
00:29:37,253 --> 00:29:39,212
That's more
than you can say.
617
00:29:39,299 --> 00:29:41,083
At least I'm not alone.
618
00:29:41,170 --> 00:29:42,737
I'd rather be alone
than clinging to a man
619
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:44,695
who doesn't even know me.
620
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:46,001
Well, as usual,
you're so much better.
621
00:29:46,088 --> 00:29:47,524
Stop.
622
00:29:47,611 --> 00:29:49,309
How long did you and the DA
keep it together, huh?
623
00:29:49,396 --> 00:29:51,267
- More than a month?
- I can't go to your wedding.
624
00:29:51,354 --> 00:29:53,182
What, work
is so important?
625
00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:55,881
Because I-I can't smile
and-and pose for pictures
626
00:29:55,968 --> 00:29:58,448
and pretend that everything's
fine when it's not.
627
00:29:58,535 --> 00:30:01,930
I just want one night
of happiness with you there.
628
00:30:02,017 --> 00:30:03,453
Is that so wrong?
629
00:30:03,540 --> 00:30:05,891
Have I done so badly
I can't have that?
630
00:30:05,978 --> 00:30:08,328
Well, I can't
give it to you.
631
00:30:12,462 --> 00:30:14,682
You deserve it, too, Lilly.
632
00:30:14,769 --> 00:30:17,728
To just...be happy.
633
00:30:56,550 --> 00:30:59,031
'I'm out right now.
Leave your message.'
634
00:30:59,118 --> 00:31:01,337
Kite.
635
00:31:01,424 --> 00:31:04,210
Lilly Rush.
636
00:31:04,297 --> 00:31:08,431
Well, you're workin' late,
I bet.
637
00:31:08,518 --> 00:31:10,259
Look, I want to say something
638
00:31:10,346 --> 00:31:12,827
and I know the ship
has sailed with us
639
00:31:12,914 --> 00:31:17,832
so that's not why I'm calling.
640
00:31:17,919 --> 00:31:21,444
I, uh.
641
00:31:21,531 --> 00:31:22,750
I'm just gonna say it.
642
00:31:25,274 --> 00:31:29,278
Look, I know it's on me,
how we ended things.
643
00:31:30,366 --> 00:31:31,585
I got flipped out.
644
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:35,241
I just..
645
00:31:37,634 --> 00:31:40,986
...I just want to not end up
like my mom, you know?
646
00:31:41,073 --> 00:31:43,727
But I don't wanna end up
like this either.
647
00:31:45,816 --> 00:31:47,731
So, I'm done.
648
00:31:47,818 --> 00:31:52,345
I'm done with having
to walk home alone.
649
00:31:52,432 --> 00:31:55,304
She can't do it, but I can.
650
00:31:55,391 --> 00:31:57,002
I can change.
651
00:31:58,568 --> 00:32:00,527
'Lilly?'
652
00:32:08,361 --> 00:32:10,102
I'm related to the Bartlebys?
653
00:32:10,189 --> 00:32:12,104
- Yes.
- Definitely?
654
00:32:12,191 --> 00:32:14,628
'We got a lead from
Carmela La Fleur's biographer'
655
00:32:14,715 --> 00:32:17,022
on the doctor who helped
girls in trouble back then.
656
00:32:17,109 --> 00:32:20,895
This is the doctor's record
of your grandmother's birth.
657
00:32:22,853 --> 00:32:26,379
"Baby girl. Eight pounds,
three ounces. Rose."
658
00:32:26,466 --> 00:32:27,554
That's my grandmother.
659
00:32:27,641 --> 00:32:29,121
There's a quilt
660
00:32:29,208 --> 00:32:31,253
from the boarding house
where Violet lived.
661
00:32:31,340 --> 00:32:32,515
Says "Rosie" on it.
662
00:32:32,602 --> 00:32:35,083
Maybe Violet made it.
663
00:32:35,170 --> 00:32:37,085
So why did I grow
up the way I did
664
00:32:37,172 --> 00:32:40,001
and the Bartlebys grew up
the way they did?
665
00:32:40,088 --> 00:32:41,742
We're gonna find out.
666
00:32:41,829 --> 00:32:44,440
Your great-grandmother
was a songwriter.
667
00:32:45,615 --> 00:32:47,356
She published a song called
668
00:32:47,443 --> 00:32:49,271
"300 flowers."
669
00:32:49,358 --> 00:32:51,099
What's it sound like?
670
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:55,669
It's beautiful.
671
00:32:55,756 --> 00:32:56,975
I'll have to find it.
672
00:32:58,628 --> 00:33:01,153
Muriel Bartleby's gang
of lawyers just called.
673
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,850
'Says you've got 20 minutes.'
674
00:33:02,937 --> 00:33:04,156
And they're timing it.
675
00:33:06,158 --> 00:33:08,943
That sounds like
we're being summoned.
676
00:33:20,389 --> 00:33:23,566
I hear we've got 20 minutes
with you, Muriel.
677
00:33:23,653 --> 00:33:27,527
I, uh... I don't see
people, as a rule.
678
00:33:27,614 --> 00:33:29,137
Thanks for the exception.
679
00:33:30,660 --> 00:33:33,228
Do you know
about our family?
680
00:33:33,315 --> 00:33:34,708
My brother had the most
681
00:33:34,795 --> 00:33:37,537
marvelous parties in this house.
682
00:33:37,624 --> 00:33:40,192
The walls pulsed with life.
683
00:33:41,323 --> 00:33:42,759
Now look.
684
00:33:42,846 --> 00:33:46,024
Violet Polley
had your brother Nick's child.
685
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:49,027
People always wanted to claim
our name as their own.
686
00:33:49,114 --> 00:33:50,637
People like Violet?
687
00:33:50,724 --> 00:33:54,206
We were so careful not
to allow a crooked branch
688
00:33:54,293 --> 00:33:55,990
on the family tree.
689
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,559
Now there are
no Bartlebys left.
690
00:33:59,646 --> 00:34:02,736
Except for Violet's descendants.
691
00:34:02,823 --> 00:34:04,303
'Sounds like your brother
will do anything'
692
00:34:04,390 --> 00:34:06,740
'to protect the family name.'
693
00:34:09,134 --> 00:34:12,311
My brother had nothing
to do with Violet's death.
694
00:34:12,398 --> 00:34:14,052
How do you know?
695
00:34:14,139 --> 00:34:16,924
Because I saw him
wash his hands of her.
696
00:34:17,011 --> 00:34:18,186
When?
697
00:34:18,273 --> 00:34:21,798
Some time after the crash.
698
00:34:24,584 --> 00:34:27,369
Violet was right here
699
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:28,762
in this room
700
00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:30,894
with her baby.
701
00:34:32,896 --> 00:34:34,637
Daddy gave it to me!
I won't sell it!
702
00:34:34,724 --> 00:34:35,943
Muriel!
703
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:37,162
'Behave!'
704
00:34:39,381 --> 00:34:41,122
Our banker, Mr. Treehorn
705
00:34:41,209 --> 00:34:44,430
threw himself out of his
sixth floor window today.
706
00:34:44,517 --> 00:34:46,606
Buck up, Bartleby.
It'll turn around.
707
00:34:46,693 --> 00:34:48,216
It's the end
of the world.
708
00:34:50,436 --> 00:34:52,873
Violet Polley is here
to see you, sir.
709
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,527
Tell her I'm away.
710
00:34:56,659 --> 00:35:00,446
You should see her, sir.
711
00:35:00,533 --> 00:35:02,535
Get out of my house, Spyczyk.
712
00:35:02,622 --> 00:35:04,754
- Sir?
- I cannot afford you.
713
00:35:04,841 --> 00:35:05,929
You are dismissed.

00:35:08,454 --> 00:35:12,284

Violet.
720
00:35:24,905 --> 00:35:28,648
You've been home a while now,
and you haven't rang me back.
721
00:35:28,735 --> 00:35:30,693
It ain't on me, kid.
722
00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:33,000
Me and him are
strictly platonic.
723
00:35:34,219 --> 00:35:36,873
What is that?
724
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,658
This is our daughter.
725
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:45,404
I know you meant to be
through with me, Nick
726
00:35:45,491 --> 00:35:47,536
but this is our child.
727
00:35:47,623 --> 00:35:49,843
I named her Rose after
the roses you gave me.
728
00:35:49,930 --> 00:35:51,410
This is scandalous.
729
00:35:51,497 --> 00:35:52,802
Then marry me.
730
00:35:52,889 --> 00:35:54,326
Violet, that's ridiculous.
731
00:35:54,413 --> 00:35:55,631
'You're a grown man.'
732
00:35:55,718 --> 00:35:57,067
You can do as you please.
733
00:35:57,155 --> 00:36:00,288
I did. And now I'm through.
734
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,899
♪ There's a reward
for that kind of love ♪
735
00:36:02,986 --> 00:36:04,727
If you won't marry
me, take Rose.
736
00:36:04,814 --> 00:36:07,339
I can't provide for her alone.
I need your help.
737
00:36:07,426 --> 00:36:10,342
I can't give you anything!
I can't help you!
738
00:36:10,429 --> 00:36:12,822
'I can't even
help myself.'
739
00:36:12,909 --> 00:36:14,215
You can take my clock.
740
00:36:15,651 --> 00:36:17,523
It's made of gold.
741
00:36:34,627 --> 00:36:36,759
You're no kind of man, Bartleby.
742
00:36:36,846 --> 00:36:38,370
Why don't you save
the day, Carmela?
743
00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:40,154
Take the baby yourself,
and raise it backstage
744
00:36:40,241 --> 00:36:42,200
with your opium pipe
and your fairies.
745
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:51,165
We, uh...we could've
taken the little baby.
746
00:36:51,252 --> 00:36:53,036
'We survived.'
747
00:36:53,123 --> 00:36:54,299
When was this?
748
00:36:54,386 --> 00:36:56,214
Christmas day.
749
00:36:57,563 --> 00:36:58,955
You gave Violet
750
00:36:59,042 --> 00:37:00,305
your gold clock?
751
00:37:00,392 --> 00:37:02,872
A child's idea of help.
752
00:37:02,959 --> 00:37:05,310
Who knows how much
it was worth?
753
00:37:06,876 --> 00:37:10,532
Seventy-five dollars.
754
00:37:10,619 --> 00:37:12,752
Daniel, we'd like to take
the clock in with us.
755
00:37:12,839 --> 00:37:14,101
I'd rather you didn't.
756
00:37:14,188 --> 00:37:15,494
Why is that, Daniel?
757
00:37:15,581 --> 00:37:17,147
Well, it's a family heirloom.
758
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:20,238
You know the story Felix
told you isn't true.
759
00:37:20,325 --> 00:37:22,022
Bartleby didn't
give him that clock.
760
00:37:22,109 --> 00:37:24,154
Well, it's what
he always told me.
761
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:26,983
Except that one time
when he told you the truth.
762
00:37:28,507 --> 00:37:29,856
You said your
grandfather wanted
763
00:37:29,943 --> 00:37:33,033
to tell you his stories
before he died.
764
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,774
To get them off his chest.
765
00:37:34,861 --> 00:37:37,994
'We think he told you
about a murder, Daniel.'
766
00:37:38,081 --> 00:37:41,389
Felix Spyczyk
was an honorable man.
767
00:37:41,476 --> 00:37:43,913
He was the last one seen
with her, day she died.
768
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,741
He took the clock from her.
769
00:37:45,828 --> 00:37:48,091
Why do you have to do this?
770
00:37:48,178 --> 00:37:50,877
He's gone now, he's long gone,
and he can't be punished.
771
00:37:50,964 --> 00:37:53,358
Violet's family
has been punished.
772
00:37:53,445 --> 00:37:55,708
Their lives would
have been so different
773
00:37:55,795 --> 00:37:57,449
'if they had
her around.'
774
00:37:57,536 --> 00:37:59,668
They deserve to put it to bed.
775
00:38:07,546 --> 00:38:10,853
I thought about
destroying the tape.
776
00:38:10,940 --> 00:38:13,421
'But it's
what he wanted.'
777
00:38:13,508 --> 00:38:15,380
He wanted to tell the truth.
778
00:38:18,818 --> 00:38:20,298
So, here.
779
00:38:30,786 --> 00:38:33,311
'That's okay, grandfather.
You can rest now.'
780
00:38:33,398 --> 00:38:36,879
'I want to say it,
what I did to her.'
781
00:38:36,966 --> 00:38:38,664
'It's okay.'
782
00:38:38,751 --> 00:38:41,493
'It was after she
left Bartleby's'
783
00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:46,149
'with nothing but a crying baby
and that gold clock.'
784
00:38:53,940 --> 00:38:58,945
It's okay, baby Rose.
785
00:38:59,032 --> 00:39:00,555
It's okay.
786
00:39:04,951 --> 00:39:07,736
- He is scum.
- Yes, he is.
787
00:39:07,823 --> 00:39:10,348
People think he is like God,
all of them
788
00:39:10,435 --> 00:39:15,178
in their beautiful
house, Bartlebys!
789
00:39:15,265 --> 00:39:17,137
We know the truth
about Bartleby
790
00:39:17,224 --> 00:39:21,184
and what he did to you
and your little baby.
791
00:39:21,271 --> 00:39:23,143
We can tell the world.
792
00:39:23,230 --> 00:39:25,711
What are you suggesting,
Mr. Spyczyk?
793
00:39:25,798 --> 00:39:27,930
I will tell him,
give us money
794
00:39:28,017 --> 00:39:29,715
or we tell newspapers.
795
00:39:29,802 --> 00:39:31,804
He has no money.
You heard him.
796
00:39:31,891 --> 00:39:34,676
These people survive
like cockroach. He has money.
797
00:39:34,763 --> 00:39:37,853
He can always find what
he needs, Nick Bartleby.
798
00:39:37,940 --> 00:39:39,464
No. I've made it this far.
799
00:39:39,551 --> 00:39:43,250
- I'm a girl who finds a way.
- Wake up.
800
00:39:43,337 --> 00:39:46,384
You have baby and no money.
801
00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:48,124
Today I don't, but tomorrow--
802
00:39:48,211 --> 00:39:50,083
This is good plan.
803
00:39:50,170 --> 00:39:53,042
This is how to do
as the rich do in America.
804
00:39:53,129 --> 00:39:54,957
'Squeezing them.'
805
00:39:55,044 --> 00:39:58,874
I'm not that sort of person.
806
00:39:58,961 --> 00:40:01,007
You take clock already.
807
00:40:01,094 --> 00:40:03,618
You let him buy you.
808
00:40:03,705 --> 00:40:05,272
I'd rather find a way
to make it on my own
809
00:40:05,359 --> 00:40:07,187
than be a lowly blackmailer.
810
00:40:07,274 --> 00:40:08,710
I am not lowly!
811
00:40:08,797 --> 00:40:11,060
Blackmailing makes you
as bad as Bartleby.
812
00:40:12,975 --> 00:40:16,065
I'm not like Bartleby!
813
00:40:18,590 --> 00:40:19,852
I'm not.
814
00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:28,991
Rosie.
815
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:06,899
