- Subtitles by explosiveskull

- 2
- 00:01:00,294 --> 00:01:02,362
- Foxes were commonly
- known as beasts of the chase
- 3
- 00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:03,665
- by medieval times.
- 4
- 00:01:03,698 --> 00:01:04,832
- The equestrian tradition
- 5
- 00:01:04,866 --> 00:01:07,367
- eventually found
- its way to the States.
- 6
- 00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:10,470
- Hell, George Washington
- owned a pack of hounds.
- 7
- 00:01:11,005 --> 00:01:12,439
- It takes discipline.
- 8
- 00:01:12,472 --> 00:01:14,676
- You have to know how
- to ride. Know the calls.
- 9
- 00:01:14,709 --> 00:01:17,612
- You have to have your wits about
- you on cold autumn mornings.
- 10
- 00:01:17,645 --> 00:01:20,080
- The bourbon can only do so much.
- 11
- 00:01:21,281 --> 00:01:24,418
- I've come to
- love it, the chase that is.
- 12
- 00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:26,219
- There are those
- that would condemn it.
- 13
- 00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:27,454
- They wouldn't understand.
- 14
- 00:01:27,487 --> 00:01:31,258
- We are all chasing something.
- Something we may never see.
- 15
- 00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:33,160
- Something so elusive,
- 16
- 00:01:33,193 --> 00:01:35,597
- it was never
- there to begin with.
- 17
- 00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:45,873
- My name is Cotton.
- No, it's not a nickname
- 18
- 00:01:45,907 --> 00:01:47,875
- but it is an appropriate one.
- 19
- 00:01:47,909 --> 00:01:50,578
- The old South is all
- but forgotten, so I wrote
- 20
- 00:01:50,612 --> 00:01:53,313
- a short story about it years
- ago. Got it published and it was
- 21
- 00:01:53,347 --> 00:01:56,350
- read, widely.
- 22
- 00:01:58,553 --> 00:02:01,121
- I was just a boy then.
- 23
- 00:02:02,724 --> 00:02:04,726
- There is a way of life
- that's been lost.
- 24
- 00:02:04,759 --> 00:02:07,895
- Unable to wash the stains
- of history from its linens.
- 25
- 00:02:07,929 --> 00:02:10,263
- But there's something
- sweet in the seams.
- 26
- 00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:12,800
- You'll read
- about it in my novel,
- 27
- 00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:18,338
- so I'd rather not spoil it.
- 28
- 00:02:20,508 --> 00:02:24,444
- Well,
- this should be humiliating.
- 29
- 00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:27,481
- All the other girls have
- proper escorts and I have you.
- 30
- 00:02:45,967 --> 00:02:49,771
- Although it's not your fault
- my father's a complete asshole.
- 31
- 00:02:54,709 --> 00:02:57,812
- Don't fuck
- this up for me, Cotton.
- 32
- 00:03:09,456 --> 00:03:11,959
- The annual Debutante Ball.
- 33
- 00:03:11,993 --> 00:03:13,594
- My niece is the one in white,
- 34
- 00:03:13,628 --> 00:03:15,830
- though I'm not
- sure she deserves it.
- 35
- 00:03:15,863 --> 00:03:17,965
- Everything in
- the South is tradition.
- 36
- 00:03:17,999 --> 00:03:19,834
- Becoming a
- gentleman is expected.
- 37
- 00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:22,870
- Becoming a lady is showmanship.
- 38
- 00:03:23,137 --> 00:03:26,574
- It's a facade. A
- pony show for society, where
- 39
- 00:03:26,607 --> 00:03:29,510
- everyone pretends life is the
- way we see it in photographs,
- 40
- 00:03:29,544 --> 00:03:31,713
- perfect and clean.
- 41
- 00:03:31,913 --> 00:03:34,582
- Like those white gowns.
- 42
- 00:03:41,556 --> 00:03:44,391
- What are we hiding?
- 43
- 00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:46,426
- My brother Whitman vanished some
- 44
- 00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:49,329
- years ago, for what
- or who we still aren't clear.
- 45
- 00:03:49,362 --> 00:03:50,865
- My sister
- would just as soon shoot me as
- 46
- 00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:53,868
- she would give me a smile. My
- father spends more time on
- 47
- 00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:56,269
- ancient soils for blood sport
- then he does tending the family
- 48
- 00:03:56,303 --> 00:03:59,540
- or its business, a decently
- circulated yet poorly written
- 49
- 00:03:59,574 --> 00:04:02,009
- newspaper coined The Carolinian
- by our Great Grandfather nearly
- 50
- 00:04:02,043 --> 00:04:05,713
- a century ago. My mother would
- care if there was more oolong
- 51
- 00:04:05,747 --> 00:04:09,382
- than booze in her tea. There is
- one silver lining in the whole
- 52
- 00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:12,754
- lot of them, Grandmother. I
- could tell you her life's story
- 53
- 00:04:12,787 --> 00:04:15,022
- but you'd have
- to hear it in her words.
- 54
- 00:04:15,056 --> 00:04:17,290
- Then there's me, Cotton.
- 55
- 00:04:17,324 --> 00:04:19,894
- One of the last gentleman the
- old South has to offer,
- 56
- 00:04:19,927 --> 00:04:23,564
- though no one would ever care.
- 57
- 00:04:23,598 --> 00:04:25,633
- Amanda Hastings.
- 58
- 00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:28,736
- Going once,
- going twice, sold American!
- 59
- 00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:29,704
- Where have you been?
- 60
- 00:04:29,737 --> 00:04:32,039
- I was, I was looking
- for you this whole time.
- 61
- 00:04:32,073 --> 00:04:34,509
- Oh my God. Christ, you smell
- like a distillery. Real nice.
- 62
- 00:04:34,542 --> 00:04:35,576
- You don't even know-
- 63
- 00:04:35,610 --> 00:04:38,378
- Okay, I don't care just,
- just walk me center stage,
- 64
- 00:04:38,411 --> 00:04:39,379
- and get out of my way.
- 65
- 00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:40,515
- You look fantastic, by the way.
- 66
- 00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:41,582
- You disgust me.
- 67
- 00:04:41,616 --> 00:04:43,050
- Oh, come on.
- 68
- 00:04:43,084 --> 00:04:45,653
- Lily O'Connor.
- 69
- 00:05:23,423 --> 00:05:26,426
- Miss June,
- nice to see you again.
- 70
- 00:05:28,162 --> 00:05:29,597
- Good evening, miss.
- 71
- 00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:31,899
- Uh,
- it was so much fun Aesop.
- 72
- 00:05:31,933 --> 00:05:34,669
- I love this place.
- 73
- 00:05:54,856 --> 00:05:57,124
- Quite a show, out there.
- 74
- 00:05:57,158 --> 00:06:00,127
- What? Oh, yep.
- 75
- 00:06:00,161 --> 00:06:03,998
- Becoming a lady
- has always been a spectacle.
- 76
- 00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:07,367
- Well I wasn't
- referrin' to the ladies, Cotton.
- 77
- 00:06:07,835 --> 00:06:10,403
- One would think you'd
- have more a bit more couth.
- 78
- 00:06:10,437 --> 00:06:13,808
- What, with
- your recent induction.
- 79
- 00:06:13,841 --> 00:06:16,911
- Oh relax, relax.
- 80
- 00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:21,148
- No one gives a damn
- what us dogs are barkin' about.
- 81
- 00:06:21,182 --> 00:06:25,019
- It's been really
- tough, lately, Mr. Wentworth.
- 82
- 00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:28,656
- Oh yes, of course.
- How could it not be, what, for
- 83
- 00:06:28,689 --> 00:06:33,561
- a, the youngest heir of a
- well-to-do publishing dynasty.
- 84
- 00:06:36,197 --> 00:06:38,633
- It's harder than it sounds.
- 85
- 00:06:38,666 --> 00:06:42,503
- There is a code
- that a Gentlemen must adhere to.
- 86
- 00:06:42,536 --> 00:06:45,172
- Our code.
- 87
- 00:06:50,845 --> 00:06:53,514
- I understand.
- 88
- 00:06:53,547 --> 00:06:55,482
- I'm proud of
- my selection, I assure you.
- 89
- 00:06:55,516 --> 00:06:58,786
- Then act like it. You knew what
- you were getting into when you
- 90
- 00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:02,657
- took that oath. You are an
- O'Connor, the first of our Order
- 91
- 00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:05,760
- and the future
- publisher of The Times.
- 92
- 00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:08,829
- Publisher?
- 93
- 00:07:08,863 --> 00:07:13,534
- My brother
- Whitman will return, someday.
- 94
- 00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:24,979
- Look at 'em.
- 95
- 00:07:25,012 --> 00:07:29,016
- Spinning
- about in blissful ignorance.
- 96
- 00:07:31,652 --> 00:07:36,456
- If they only knew about
- the men behind the curtain.
- 97
- 00:07:56,143 --> 00:07:57,745
- Louise.
- 98
- 00:07:57,778 --> 00:08:01,248
- Where are you running off to?
- 99
- 00:08:01,282 --> 00:08:04,785
- I was just um, nowhere.
- 100
- 00:08:06,787 --> 00:08:09,857
- I'm sorry about the
- Ball. Lily despises me.
- 101
- 00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:14,795
- Oh, she'll be fine or she'll
- 102
- 00:08:14,829 --> 00:08:19,499
- harbor it for years,
- but, eh, what does it matter.
- 103
- 00:08:21,969 --> 00:08:25,106
- Ya know
- I really thought he'd show.
- 104
- 00:08:25,139 --> 00:08:28,509
- If not for his daughter, then
- at least for his reputation.
- 105
- 00:08:30,311 --> 00:08:33,514
- He gave that up long ago.
- 106
- 00:08:36,851 --> 00:08:41,789
- If you knew where Whitman was,
- you'd tell me, wouldn't you?
- 107
- 00:08:42,356 --> 00:08:43,824
- Sure.
- 108
- 00:08:47,795 --> 00:08:51,599
- Whitman
- will return, eventually.
- 109
- 00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:58,205
- For the paper, if nothing else.
- 110
- 00:09:05,346 --> 00:09:08,949
- I'm sure this hasn't
- been easy on you, Louise.
- 111
- 00:09:13,821 --> 00:09:17,625
- No, no it hasn't.
- 112
- 00:09:45,252 --> 00:09:48,222
- To you all, this is goodbye.
- 113
- 00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:50,624
- I have to see what
- lays beyond the pines.
- 114
- 00:09:50,658 --> 00:09:52,359
- Out there
- among faceless strangers and
- 115
- 00:09:52,393 --> 00:09:55,629
- hurried travelers
- scurrying to far off lands.
- 116
- 00:09:55,663 --> 00:09:58,766
- I can't write anymore
- because I have no more to say.
- 117
- 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:02,002
- And who would care to
- know what we have become.
- 118
- 00:10:06,774 --> 00:10:08,976
- Whitman had it right.
- 119
- 00:10:09,009 --> 00:10:12,046
- Do not think this
- is for lack of love or kinship.
- 120
- 00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:15,216
- You are my family.
- Wherever I am out there,
- 121
- 00:10:15,249 --> 00:10:19,019
- I will think of
- you often and fondly.
- 122
- 00:10:23,157 --> 00:10:27,361
- Know that you didn't do this
- to me, we did this to ourselves.
- 123
- 00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:29,864
- And though I may meet an end,
- 124
- 00:10:29,897 --> 00:10:33,901
- I know, somewhere,
- there is still hope.
- 125
- 00:10:34,435 --> 00:10:37,972
- And who knows,
- 126
- 00:10:38,005 --> 00:10:41,008
- maybe I'll find
- something to write about.
- 127
- 00:11:15,743 --> 00:11:18,779
- That's terrible news.
- 128
- 00:11:19,947 --> 00:11:22,316
- No, no, do what
- you have to do.
- 129
- 00:11:24,218 --> 00:11:29,089
- I'll be in as
- soon as I can. Oh, and Aesop?
- 130
- 00:11:30,424 --> 00:11:32,793
- Call the lawyer.
- 131
- 00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:54,481
- May I use your phone.
- 132
- 00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:03,224
- Call for you, Sir.
- 133
- 00:12:15,002 --> 00:12:18,239
- My Grandmother's dead.
- 134
- 00:12:18,272 --> 00:12:20,474
- ¿De lo que se murió?
- (What did she die of?)
- 135
- 00:12:20,508 --> 00:12:23,043
- They didn't say.
- 136
- 00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:05,754
- Hello?
- 137
- 00:14:04,044 --> 00:14:06,347
- Hello Mother.
- 138
- 00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:09,183
- Darling, you're home.
- 139
- 00:14:09,216 --> 00:14:10,484
- Oh, it's been so long.
- 140
- 00:14:10,518 --> 00:14:13,555
- I'm so glad to see you.
- 141
- 00:14:13,588 --> 00:14:16,490
- I do wish it were under better
- circumstances, of course.
- 142
- 00:14:16,524 --> 00:14:21,529
- I'm sorry. I came as soon as
- I could. When's the funeral?
- 143
- 00:14:22,029 --> 00:14:27,000
- But, it was this morning.
- That's what all this is about.
- 144
- 00:14:31,171 --> 00:14:32,306
- How could this happen?
- 145
- 00:14:32,339 --> 00:14:34,609
- Arrangements were made.
- 146
- 00:14:35,042 --> 00:14:37,579
- It was a lovely
- service, darling, truly.
- 147
- 00:14:37,612 --> 00:14:39,012
- You would have approved.
- 148
- 00:14:39,046 --> 00:14:41,448
- Most of the city was there.
- 149
- 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:45,587
- She was a fine woman, Cotton.
- A fine woman, indeed.
- 150
- 00:14:49,724 --> 00:14:54,596
- May I have a word,
- Mother? In private.
- 151
- 00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:57,164
- Excuse us, will you?
- 152
- 00:15:01,101 --> 00:15:01,935
- Where's Father?
- 153
- 00:15:01,969 --> 00:15:03,937
- Well I have absolutely no idea.
- 154
- 00:15:03,971 --> 00:15:07,241
- Last I heard, he speared
- a cougar through the throat.
- 155
- 00:15:07,274 --> 00:15:10,144
- Absurd. What of
- Whitman and Marietta?
- 156
- 00:15:10,177 --> 00:15:13,648
- Wait, don't tell me.
- 157
- 00:15:14,448 --> 00:15:17,685
- It's insanity that
- none of us were here.
- 158
- 00:15:17,719 --> 00:15:18,787
- Well Aesop was.
- 159
- 00:15:18,820 --> 00:15:23,023
- He's practically family.
- Will you be staying long?
- 160
- 00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:27,995
- Why? So you can save
- face at the club, for once?
- 161
- 00:15:28,596 --> 00:15:31,498
- My mother has just died.
- 162
- 00:15:31,533 --> 00:15:34,968
- Mother in law.
- 163
- 00:15:35,002 --> 00:15:36,638
- How did she go, by the way?
- 164
- 00:15:36,671 --> 00:15:38,439
- Hm, I find that so strange.
- 165
- 00:15:38,472 --> 00:15:41,475
- That's all people keep asking.
- 166
- 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:44,546
- Have you been to church lately?
- 167
- 00:15:44,579 --> 00:15:46,648
- Jesus Christ.
- 168
- 00:15:51,786 --> 00:15:55,088
- He seems different.
- 169
- 00:15:56,256 --> 00:15:59,092
- Esse Quam Videri.
- (to be seen)
- 170
- 00:16:48,676 --> 00:16:52,346
- You know,
- 171
- 00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:56,350
- that woman adored you.
- 172
- 00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,522
- White's a bit much.
- 173
- 00:17:01,589 --> 00:17:04,291
- It's off white.
- 174
- 00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:12,132
- How long are you in for?
- 175
- 00:17:12,499 --> 00:17:14,468
- Not sure.
- 176
- 00:17:14,502 --> 00:17:16,804
- How's Paris?
- 177
- 00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:22,276
- I moved back. Turns out,
- not all Frenchmen are romantic.
- 178
- 00:17:23,011 --> 00:17:25,547
- I've been staying
- in the blue room, actually.
- 179
- 00:17:25,580 --> 00:17:27,214
- Well, it's not
- really blue anymore.
- 180
- 00:17:27,247 --> 00:17:28,516
- More of a lilac.
- 181
- 00:17:28,550 --> 00:17:29,717
- At our house?
- 182
- 00:17:29,751 --> 00:17:32,319
- Yes. Your mother
- insisted after my folks
- 183
- 00:17:32,352 --> 00:17:33,487
- moved to Charleston.
- 184
- 00:17:33,521 --> 00:17:35,255
- Turned out
- my father had an entire second
- 185
- 00:17:35,289 --> 00:17:38,425
- family, I'd
- rather not talk about it.
- 186
- 00:17:38,458 --> 00:17:40,795
- I can't believe
- I missed her funeral.
- 187
- 00:17:40,828 --> 00:17:43,698
- It was nice, but I got out of
- there pretty quick, and at least
- 188
- 00:17:43,731 --> 00:17:45,567
- you're here now. Marietta's been
- 189
- 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,435
- delayed out
- of Atlanta three times.
- 190
- 00:17:49,737 --> 00:17:53,240
- That's terrible luck.
- 191
- 00:17:54,474 --> 00:17:57,645
- Not really.
- 192
- 00:18:01,616 --> 00:18:04,586
- She owns the plane.
- 193
- 00:18:25,807 --> 00:18:27,307
- Thank you.
- 194
- 00:18:27,341 --> 00:18:29,577
- June, glad you're here.
- 195
- 00:18:29,611 --> 00:18:31,546
- Mildred, how are you?
- 196
- 00:18:31,579 --> 00:18:34,147
- I'm sorry
- I'm late, this is Cotton.
- 197
- 00:18:34,181 --> 00:18:36,183
- He's an old friend.
- 198
- 00:18:36,216 --> 00:18:39,520
- Good. That was the Inspector.
- 199
- 00:18:39,554 --> 00:18:41,154
- How did it go?
- 200
- 00:18:41,188 --> 00:18:43,791
- It could've
- been worse, but he signed off
- 201
- 00:18:43,825 --> 00:18:46,694
- and our finals
- at the end of the week.
- 202
- 00:18:46,728 --> 00:18:48,796
- What is this place?
- 203
- 00:18:48,830 --> 00:18:50,464
- Well, Mildred and I have spent
- 204
- 00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:52,834
- the last eight months
- renovating this old house.
- 205
- 00:18:52,867 --> 00:18:54,869
- The state was
- off-loading them, hell half of
- 206
- 00:18:54,902 --> 00:18:56,638
- them will have
- to be torn down either way,
- 207
- 00:18:56,671 --> 00:19:01,308
- but soon,
- this will be our shop.
- 208
- 00:19:01,341 --> 00:19:03,611
- I don't get it. A shop for what?
- 209
- 00:19:03,645 --> 00:19:07,715
- Um, how old of
- friends, did you say?
- 210
- 00:19:08,883 --> 00:19:11,451
- I've been away.
- 211
- 00:19:11,485 --> 00:19:12,854
- Cotton.
- 212
- 00:19:12,887 --> 00:19:14,956
- Weatherly, I
- haven't seen you since-
- 213
- 00:19:14,989 --> 00:19:16,758
- Since the ball.
- 214
- 00:19:16,791 --> 00:19:18,492
- Hm, yes.
- 215
- 00:19:18,526 --> 00:19:21,228
- I see you've grown.
- 216
- 00:19:21,529 --> 00:19:23,263
- I thought I
- recognized that voice.
- 217
- 00:19:23,296 --> 00:19:24,264
- Ah Fitzy.
- 218
- 00:19:25,733 --> 00:19:27,969
- Mildred, thank you.
- 219
- 00:19:28,002 --> 00:19:29,971
- Drinks on me, soon.
- 220
- 00:19:30,004 --> 00:19:31,506
- Great to see you old friend.
- 221
- 00:19:31,539 --> 00:19:32,974
- Good to see you.
- 222
- 00:19:33,007 --> 00:19:35,877
- Now this is a sight!
- 223
- 00:19:35,910 --> 00:19:40,515
- Mmhm. June's latest
- design. Stunning, of course.
- 224
- 00:19:40,548 --> 00:19:41,949
- Did we get the alpaca?
- 225
- 00:19:41,983 --> 00:19:43,483
- As promised.
- 226
- 00:19:43,518 --> 00:19:45,452
- Oh, have you
- read much about Alpaca?
- 227
- 00:19:45,485 --> 00:19:46,453
- A thing or two.
- 228
- 00:19:46,486 --> 00:19:49,322
- Apparently it's hypoallergenic.
- 229
- 00:19:49,356 --> 00:19:51,726
- Alright, turn around.
- 230
- 00:19:53,027 --> 00:19:55,697
- Right.
- 231
- 00:20:09,744 --> 00:20:12,379
- Is he alright?
- 232
- 00:20:13,548 --> 00:20:18,553
- You
- know, I'm not entirely sure.
- 233
- 00:20:19,053 --> 00:20:22,222
- Hm.
- 234
- 00:20:30,898 --> 00:20:32,934
- Did you read
- the Times this morning?
- 235
- 00:20:32,967 --> 00:20:34,902
- I did.
- 236
- 00:20:34,936 --> 00:20:38,305
- Bit macabre, if you ask me.
- 237
- 00:20:38,338 --> 00:20:40,908
- These
- times certainly are, Ma'am.
- 238
- 00:20:40,942 --> 00:20:45,813
- You know, I've
- missed entertaining, Aesop.
- 239
- 00:20:45,847 --> 00:20:49,817
- This morning, the funeral,
- 240
- 00:20:49,851 --> 00:20:54,856
- it almost felt, like old times.
- 241
- 00:21:03,030 --> 00:21:05,633
- I can't
- believe you ended up back here.
- 242
- 00:21:05,666 --> 00:21:08,703
- Well I considered
- New York, even LA.
- 243
- 00:21:08,736 --> 00:21:11,572
- But I found that if you held
- 244
- 00:21:11,606 --> 00:21:14,509
- the door open for someone in New
- York they looked at you like you
- 245
- 00:21:14,542 --> 00:21:18,613
- were crazy. You hold the
- door open for someone in LA,
- 246
- 00:21:19,247 --> 00:21:22,083
- they don't look at you at all.
- 247
- 00:21:22,116 --> 00:21:25,452
- I'm gonna use that someday.
- 248
- 00:21:32,660 --> 00:21:34,529
- Be darlings, would you, grab my
- 249
- 00:21:34,562 --> 00:21:36,931
- bags and pay the man.
- 250
- 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,537
- I'll
- be staying in the Green Room.
- 251
- 00:21:42,570 --> 00:21:45,472
- Old age? That's just something
- 252
- 00:21:45,506 --> 00:21:48,676
- people say,
- Mother. What killed her?
- 253
- 00:21:48,709 --> 00:21:50,812
- Ugh. Does it matter, Marietta?
- 254
- 00:21:50,845 --> 00:21:54,782
- Yes. Could be hereditary.
- 255
- 00:22:08,896 --> 00:22:13,835
- I'm worried about Cotton.
- You know how close they were.
- 256
- 00:22:13,868 --> 00:22:16,804
- The woman coddled him.
- 257
- 00:22:16,838 --> 00:22:19,774
- Any word from my
- other illustrious brother.
- 258
- 00:22:19,807 --> 00:22:22,409
- No. Louise is here, though.
- 259
- 00:22:22,442 --> 00:22:25,546
- Huh,
- came to collect, no doubt.
- 260
- 00:22:25,580 --> 00:22:27,682
- How are things at The Times.
- 261
- 00:22:27,715 --> 00:22:29,482
- Well, if I cared, I'd ask.
- 262
- 00:22:29,517 --> 00:22:31,384
- The paper's always
- been the mens' game.
- 263
- 00:22:31,418 --> 00:22:33,453
- You know that
- better than anyone.
- 264
- 00:22:33,486 --> 00:22:34,989
- Any word from the Lawyer?
- 265
- 00:22:35,022 --> 00:22:36,991
- Apparently all beneficiaries
- 266
- 00:22:37,024 --> 00:22:38,526
- must be present at time of
- 267
- 00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:41,428
- disclosure,
- less they have since departed.
- 268
- 00:22:41,461 --> 00:22:42,864
- What does that mean?
- 269
- 00:22:42,897 --> 00:22:44,899
- It means we better hope your
- 270
- 00:22:44,932 --> 00:22:46,801
- illustrious
- brother comes home soon.
- 271
- 00:22:46,834 --> 00:22:48,736
- And if he doesn't.
- 272
- 00:22:48,769 --> 00:22:51,471
- Well, I
- hadn't thought of it.
- 273
- 00:22:52,106 --> 00:22:55,042
- We should probably
- have him declared dead.
- 274
- 00:23:08,689 --> 00:23:11,626
- Miss June took the liberty of
- hanging out your scarlets.
- 275
- 00:23:11,659 --> 00:23:14,028
- In case you're up
- for a ride in the morning.
- 276
- 00:23:14,061 --> 00:23:17,430
- Oh! I love this coat.
- 277
- 00:23:19,166 --> 00:23:21,002
- Where is she?
- 278
- 00:23:21,035 --> 00:23:23,436
- Retired for the evening.
- 279
- 00:23:25,206 --> 00:23:26,974
- I prepared the
- living room for you.
- 280
- 00:23:27,008 --> 00:23:28,576
- What?
- 281
- 00:23:28,609 --> 00:23:30,211
- Are all the others are taken?
- 282
- 00:23:30,244 --> 00:23:31,879
- What about the yellow room?
- 283
- 00:23:31,913 --> 00:23:33,547
- Under renovation.
- 284
- 00:23:33,581 --> 00:23:35,049
- Still?
- 285
- 00:23:35,082 --> 00:23:36,817
- I'm afraid so.
- 286
- 00:23:42,623 --> 00:23:46,627
- This is what rock
- bottom feels like, Aesop.
- 287
- 00:23:46,661 --> 00:23:49,563
- I highly
- doubt that, sir.
- 288
- 00:23:52,233 --> 00:23:54,802
- Aesop?
- 289
- 00:23:56,637 --> 00:23:58,606
- Sir?
- 290
- 00:23:58,639 --> 00:24:03,077
- Did you... raise me?
- 291
- 00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:07,480
- I tried. Sir.
- 292
- 00:24:14,121 --> 00:24:17,091
- She's not exactly
- solid in the saddle.
- 293
- 00:24:17,124 --> 00:24:19,093
- You're not exactly
- solid in the saddle.
- 294
- 00:24:19,126 --> 00:24:20,094
- Hm?
- 295
- 00:24:20,127 --> 00:24:22,096
- What?
- 296
- 00:24:22,129 --> 00:24:23,798
- That mare is lovely though.
- 297
- 00:24:23,831 --> 00:24:26,100
- She's new.
- 298
- 00:24:26,133 --> 00:24:27,635
- I know.
- 299
- 00:24:27,668 --> 00:24:31,172
- And then he said,
- there are no virgins left in the county!
- 300
- 00:24:34,141 --> 00:24:38,079
- Well, well, well, so,
- 301
- 00:24:38,112 --> 00:24:41,048
- the prodigal son returns.
- 302
- 00:24:43,084 --> 00:24:44,251
- Excuse me, Gentlemen.
- 303
- 00:24:44,285 --> 00:24:47,755
- I'm just gonna see if I can
- squeeze out of these boots.
- 304
- 00:24:50,758 --> 00:24:54,528
- My condolences to the Family.
- 305
- 00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:59,499
- Viola, she was
- one hell of a woman.
- 306
- 00:24:59,867 --> 00:25:01,669
- She was
- definitely something else.
- 307
- 00:25:01,702 --> 00:25:06,574
- Yeah. Cotton,
- I must say, we are-
- 308
- 00:25:06,607 --> 00:25:09,844
- we are very anxious
- for your elucidation.
- 309
- 00:25:09,877 --> 00:25:13,614
- What? Oh, the Order.
- 310
- 00:25:13,647 --> 00:25:17,018
- I don't care for that anymore-
- 311
- 00:25:17,051 --> 00:25:20,955
- Well, see
- that's not the way it works.
- 312
- 00:25:20,988 --> 00:25:23,257
- Boy.
- 313
- 00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:25,292
- Well, in the course of cubbing,
- 314
- 00:25:25,326 --> 00:25:27,695
- not every hound
- makes it to the pack.
- 315
- 00:25:27,728 --> 00:25:29,163
- I'm sure
- they'll understand.
- 316
- 00:25:29,196 --> 00:25:33,901
- Oh yeah, but see
- this isn't sport, Cotton.
- 317
- 00:25:33,934 --> 00:25:37,872
- There's nothin' I can
- say that's gonna help you.
- 318
- 00:25:37,905 --> 00:25:41,709
- Blood in. Blood out.
- 319
- 00:25:41,742 --> 00:25:45,179
- I get it, Wentworth. You want
- an O'Connor 'cause you want the
- 320
- 00:25:45,212 --> 00:25:48,282
- press, but I ain't home to
- take over the family business,
- 321
- 00:25:48,315 --> 00:25:51,185
- nor pick up where we left off.
- 322
- 00:25:51,218 --> 00:25:56,223
- Too much has changed, believe
- me, you wouldn't want me.
- 323
- 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,798
- Good hunt, sir.
- 324
- 00:26:50,444 --> 00:26:54,048
- Where is he?
- 325
- 00:26:56,217 --> 00:27:00,421
- Somewhere along
- the Limpopo River,
- 326
- 00:27:00,454 --> 00:27:05,059
- I realized, I was the beast.
- 327
- 00:27:05,092 --> 00:27:08,395
- You missed the funeral.
- 328
- 00:27:08,796 --> 00:27:13,767
- Our convoy was
- sidetracked in Jo-burg.
- 329
- 00:27:15,302 --> 00:27:19,240
- I take it you
- were in attendance.
- 330
- 00:27:20,007 --> 00:27:21,108
- I was not.
- 331
- 00:27:21,142 --> 00:27:23,277
- Well.
- I believe my mother would understand.
- 332
- 00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:26,680
- If anyone could.
- 333
- 00:27:27,014 --> 00:27:30,451
- I knew she
- was sick for sometime,
- 334
- 00:27:30,484 --> 00:27:33,988
- hell, still hurts.
- 335
- 00:27:34,021 --> 00:27:36,423
- Your mother seems torn up.
- 336
- 00:27:36,457 --> 00:27:37,992
- Yes.
- 337
- 00:27:38,025 --> 00:27:38,893
- Rather vapid.
- 338
- 00:27:38,926 --> 00:27:41,162
- A North Carolina country
- 339
- 00:27:41,195 --> 00:27:44,098
- gentleman
- galloping after the fox.
- 340
- 00:27:46,767 --> 00:27:49,770
- Never understood that tradition.
- 341
- 00:27:49,803 --> 00:27:53,240
- Good lookin'
- coats, but no armament.
- 342
- 00:27:53,274 --> 00:27:56,310
- Not every
- situation requires a bullet.
- 343
- 00:27:56,343 --> 00:27:58,312
- What's it been?
- 344
- 00:27:58,345 --> 00:28:01,782
- Jesus, three years.
- 345
- 00:28:01,815 --> 00:28:04,185
- You should come
- down to The Times.
- 346
- 00:28:04,218 --> 00:28:06,320
- Look, you would
- hardly recognize the place.
- 347
- 00:28:06,353 --> 00:28:10,457
- I'm sure it's
- doin' fine without me.
- 348
- 00:28:10,691 --> 00:28:13,194
- Your Great Great
- Grandfather, Arthur Niall-
- 349
- 00:28:13,227 --> 00:28:18,332
- I know the story, Dad.
- 350
- 00:28:18,365 --> 00:28:21,202
- What did I ever do to you?
- 351
- 00:28:21,235 --> 00:28:23,505
- You wouldn't let
- me write for the paper.
- 352
- 00:28:23,538 --> 00:28:24,338
- You were
- under-qualified.
- 353
- 00:28:24,371 --> 00:28:25,339
- We own it!
- 354
- 00:28:25,372 --> 00:28:29,109
- We're publishers!
- 355
- 00:28:29,710 --> 00:28:34,315
- You made everything
- so hard on everyone.
- 356
- 00:28:35,182 --> 00:28:37,051
- You killed my dog.
- 357
- 00:28:37,084 --> 00:28:41,288
- It was a family dog.
- 358
- 00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:45,859
- So you admit it?
- 359
- 00:29:04,411 --> 00:29:07,881
- Meanwhile...
- 360
- 00:29:47,622 --> 00:29:50,824
- That was in!
- 361
- 00:29:50,858 --> 00:29:52,393
- Thank you.
- 362
- 00:29:58,465 --> 00:30:00,968
- Well, I played well.
- 363
- 00:30:01,001 --> 00:30:04,238
- I let you win.
- 364
- 00:30:04,471 --> 00:30:07,241
- Look at these bitches.
- 365
- 00:30:07,274 --> 00:30:09,443
- Staring at us.
- 366
- 00:30:09,476 --> 00:30:12,446
- "There she is.
- The silver spoon queen, still
- 367
- 00:30:12,479 --> 00:30:14,448
- hasn't married you know, and the
- 368
- 00:30:14,481 --> 00:30:18,452
- other one who so badly
- wants to be an O'Connor."
- 369
- 00:30:18,653 --> 00:30:22,923
- Please, child.
- That's what they're saying.
- 370
- 00:30:22,956 --> 00:30:26,460
- They're probably talking about
- Cotton. Your family's chaos is
- 371
- 00:30:26,493 --> 00:30:28,162
- regular chatter on an off-day.
- 372
- 00:30:28,195 --> 00:30:29,463
- Especially now that he's home.
- 373
- 00:30:29,496 --> 00:30:31,465
- Cotton? What a dunce.
- 374
- 00:30:31,498 --> 00:30:33,267
- He's your brother.
- 375
- 00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:34,968
- Only by blood.
- 376
- 00:30:35,002 --> 00:30:37,171
- Do you think he'll take
- Whitman's place at the paper,
- 377
- 00:30:37,204 --> 00:30:40,274
- now that he's back.
- 378
- 00:30:40,307 --> 00:30:43,545
- As future Publisher?
- 379
- 00:30:43,578 --> 00:30:47,014
- I know you
- harbor some deep-seeded love for
- 380
- 00:30:47,047 --> 00:30:49,584
- the boy, but you
- must stop encouraging him.
- 381
- 00:30:49,617 --> 00:30:52,019
- It's not healthy.
- 382
- 00:30:52,052 --> 00:30:55,422
- Relationship advice from
- the single, silver spoon queen?
- 383
- 00:30:55,456 --> 00:30:58,959
- Single?
- I've been married for six years.
- 384
- 00:30:58,992 --> 00:31:03,063
- Susan is the best
- thing that ever happened to me.
- 385
- 00:31:03,097 --> 00:31:06,100
- Christ, June.
- 386
- 00:31:06,133 --> 00:31:10,605
- You can certainly
- smoke 'til you're twenty five.
- 387
- 00:31:13,006 --> 00:31:18,011
- After that, it's just sad.
- 388
- 00:31:29,289 --> 00:31:33,528
- Give
- it to me straight, old friend.
- 389
- 00:31:33,561 --> 00:31:37,599
- My lady gettin' out there?
- 390
- 00:31:40,568 --> 00:31:44,204
- There have been
- quite a few inquiries, sir.
- 391
- 00:31:44,238 --> 00:31:46,508
- A date or two.
- 392
- 00:31:46,541 --> 00:31:49,109
- Flowers every Thursday.
- 393
- 00:31:49,143 --> 00:31:54,148
- Thursdays!
- Son of a bitch.
- 394
- 00:31:54,381 --> 00:31:59,386
- And you, are you,
- getting out there Sir?
- 395
- 00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:05,125
- In so many ways, Aesop.
- 396
- 00:32:07,428 --> 00:32:12,166
- Your mother was one of the
- sharpest women I have ever had
- 397
- 00:32:12,199 --> 00:32:17,204
- the pleasure of knowing.
- She lived with rare grace.
- 398
- 00:32:18,673 --> 00:32:23,678
- Yeah. Can't really
- believe she snuffed it.
- 399
- 00:32:26,180 --> 00:32:29,316
- Thought the old
- dame would outlive us all.
- 400
- 00:32:29,349 --> 00:32:33,588
- Indeed.
- 401
- 00:32:37,625 --> 00:32:39,627
- So,
- 402
- 00:32:42,129 --> 00:32:46,300
- what are we
- gonna do about these flowers.
- 403
- 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,377
- Best to put them in vases, Sir.
- 404
- 00:33:07,722 --> 00:33:09,423
- Oh! I'm sorry, Louise.
- 405
- 00:33:09,456 --> 00:33:14,461
- No, no, June. Sit
- with me, won't you?
- 406
- 00:33:25,272 --> 00:33:26,674
- Hmmm, what is that?
- 407
- 00:33:26,708 --> 00:33:31,144
- Lavender. I'm
- practically addicted to it.
- 408
- 00:33:31,178 --> 00:33:35,750
- My therapist suggested
- it to me after Whitman left.
- 409
- 00:33:36,551 --> 00:33:38,686
- Apparently,
- it's good for stress.
- 410
- 00:33:42,256 --> 00:33:43,591
- Is everything-
- 411
- 00:33:43,625 --> 00:33:47,795
- I slept with... someone.
- 412
- 00:33:47,829 --> 00:33:50,832
- Hey, good for you lady.
- 413
- 00:33:50,865 --> 00:33:52,534
- It's nothin' to be ashamed of.
- 414
- 00:33:52,567 --> 00:33:55,402
- Oh, no, I'm not.
- 415
- 00:33:55,435 --> 00:33:59,774
- Though, I had
- only ever been with Whitman.
- 416
- 00:33:59,807 --> 00:34:02,242
- Oh hell, Louise
- it's not my place,
- 417
- 00:34:02,276 --> 00:34:04,746
- but no one else is sayin' it.
- 418
- 00:34:04,779 --> 00:34:08,415
- Fuck him.
- 419
- 00:34:08,448 --> 00:34:09,617
- Fuck him?
- 420
- 00:34:09,651 --> 00:34:11,251
- Fuck him!
- 421
- 00:34:11,285 --> 00:34:15,222
- Why should you
- have to do or say a damn thing.
- 422
- 00:34:15,255 --> 00:34:18,860
- That man should
- march his soggy bottom back here
- 423
- 00:34:18,893 --> 00:34:21,495
- and grovel at
- your pretty little toes.
- 424
- 00:34:21,529 --> 00:34:25,567
- Whitman this and
- Whitman that. I mean-
- 425
- 00:34:30,872 --> 00:34:33,808
- That fool,
- 426
- 00:34:33,841 --> 00:34:38,713
- he'd be lucky you
- ever look at him straight again.
- 427
- 00:35:21,589 --> 00:35:22,657
- Thank you Miss Moore.
- 428
- 00:35:22,690 --> 00:35:24,559
- Let me know
- if you need anything.
- 429
- 00:35:24,592 --> 00:35:28,730
- Alright.
- 430
- 00:35:28,997 --> 00:35:34,201
- Ah,
- Mr. Wells. How are things?
- 431
- 00:35:34,502 --> 00:35:37,237
- Just dreadful.
- 432
- 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:39,306
- By the time we
- run with it, every online
- 433
- 00:35:39,339 --> 00:35:43,210
- service in the world has covered
- it and ten stories that we never
- 434
- 00:35:43,243 --> 00:35:44,746
- even saw coming.
- 435
- 00:35:44,779 --> 00:35:48,516
- Advertisement is down and that
- used to be our golden river.
- 436
- 00:35:48,549 --> 00:35:52,654
- Once and again, rivers dry up.
- 437
- 00:35:52,687 --> 00:35:57,725
- This is not a
- laughing matter, Whit.
- 438
- 00:35:57,759 --> 00:36:01,461
- I ran papers for your
- Father, when I was just a boy.
- 439
- 00:36:01,495 --> 00:36:03,765
- The Times is an institution.
- 440
- 00:36:03,798 --> 00:36:08,435
- And it always
- will be. Oh by the way,
- 441
- 00:36:08,468 --> 00:36:12,607
- Edwin McCushing
- is gonna be dropping by.
- 442
- 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,642
- McCushing.
- 443
- 00:36:15,943 --> 00:36:17,912
- Why, does
- he want his old job back?
- 444
- 00:36:17,945 --> 00:36:22,282
- No, it's more
- of a-a gentleman's visit.
- 445
- 00:36:22,315 --> 00:36:25,485
- Guys like McCushing are diggin'
- our graves, even as we speak.
- 446
- 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:26,688
- You know that, right.
- 447
- 00:36:26,721 --> 00:36:29,757
- Well,
- somebody's gotta tend to that.
- 448
- 00:36:29,791 --> 00:36:33,761
- Just be nice
- to the man. That's all.
- 449
- 00:36:33,795 --> 00:36:38,465
- I trust you'll do right by us,
- when the time comes, Whit.
- 450
- 00:36:49,677 --> 00:36:53,815
- Apparently the
- piano player's blind.
- 451
- 00:36:53,848 --> 00:36:55,315
- Blind?
- 452
- 00:36:55,348 --> 00:36:57,985
- Well,
- he's no Beethoven.
- 453
- 00:36:58,019 --> 00:37:01,756
- Beethoven was deaf my dear.
- 454
- 00:37:01,789 --> 00:37:04,324
- Ha! I knew that, of course.
- 455
- 00:37:04,357 --> 00:37:05,526
- I blame the gimlets!
- 456
- 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,463
- Uh, potent, as always.
- 457
- 00:37:09,496 --> 00:37:12,600
- Fitzy, shoots for
- The Times, now, you know.
- 458
- 00:37:12,633 --> 00:37:14,702
- Well, I like to think the
- paper works for me, I'm still
- 459
- 00:37:14,736 --> 00:37:18,271
- freelance. Speaking of which
- I understand your pops was
- 460
- 00:37:18,305 --> 00:37:20,440
- thinking of sellin' out, Cotton.
- 461
- 00:37:20,474 --> 00:37:22,877
- He'll take the
- paper to his grave.
- 462
- 00:37:22,910 --> 00:37:25,378
- Well, it's good to
- have you back Cotton.
- 463
- 00:37:25,412 --> 00:37:28,750
- I imagine you've been
- out there, like Kerouac.
- 464
- 00:37:28,783 --> 00:37:31,018
- Lost in the American terrain.
- 465
- 00:37:31,052 --> 00:37:34,956
- I think of myself
- as more of a Huck Finn.
- 466
- 00:37:34,989 --> 00:37:37,825
- You're too predictable
- to be a Huck Finn!
- 467
- 00:37:37,859 --> 00:37:40,561
- You're more like a Tom.
- I would be Huck.
- 468
- 00:37:40,595 --> 00:37:44,532
- Who am I?
- And don't you dare say Jim.
- 469
- 00:37:45,533 --> 00:37:46,901
- Don't you
- run away from this!
- 470
- 00:37:46,934 --> 00:37:49,537
- I'll be back.
- 471
- 00:37:49,570 --> 00:37:51,539
- You were gonna
- say it, weren't you.
- 472
- 00:38:43,124 --> 00:38:45,092
- You
- disappeared on us, back there-
- 473
- 00:38:45,126 --> 00:38:48,095
- June! Remember when we used to
- 474
- 00:38:48,129 --> 00:38:51,966
- put on plays
- here for our Families.
- 475
- 00:38:51,999 --> 00:38:55,703
- I miss this.
- Reminds me of simpler times.
- 476
- 00:38:56,637 --> 00:39:00,775
- They certainly
- seemed that way.
- 477
- 00:39:00,808 --> 00:39:04,011
- What's that?
- 478
- 00:39:04,045 --> 00:39:07,882
- Grandmother's copy of my novel.
- 479
- 00:39:08,616 --> 00:39:13,353
- Ah, I was thinking, might
- be better suited as a play.
- 480
- 00:39:14,155 --> 00:39:18,559
- I think, It'd
- be best suited in a jacket.
- 481
- 00:39:38,045 --> 00:39:40,748
- I had such a
- vivid image of you in my head
- 482
- 00:39:40,781 --> 00:39:42,884
- these last three years.
- 483
- 00:39:46,053 --> 00:39:49,924
- You're
- much softer than I recall.
- 484
- 00:39:49,957 --> 00:39:53,460
- And you...
- 485
- 00:40:03,938 --> 00:40:08,943
- Well, you're certainly not the
- girl you were before Paris.
- 486
- 00:40:38,606 --> 00:40:41,509
- It must terrify you.
- 487
- 00:41:08,703 --> 00:41:13,507
- Jesus Christ! Whitman!
- 488
- 00:41:13,541 --> 00:41:14,909
- You know the
- front door still works.
- 489
- 00:41:14,942 --> 00:41:17,278
- I have no doubt, little brother.
- 490
- 00:41:17,311 --> 00:41:21,048
- Who's in my
- room? And why is it purple?
- 491
- 00:41:21,082 --> 00:41:22,583
- June.
- 492
- 00:41:22,616 --> 00:41:25,920
- What, does she live here now?
- 493
- 00:41:30,291 --> 00:41:32,059
- You missed Lily's debut.
- 494
- 00:41:32,093 --> 00:41:33,995
- Debut?
- 495
- 00:41:34,028 --> 00:41:37,531
- That must
- have been some time ago.
- 496
- 00:41:38,966 --> 00:41:42,036
- How'd she look?
- 497
- 00:41:42,069 --> 00:41:44,939
- Disappointed.
- 498
- 00:41:44,972 --> 00:41:49,777
- What about Grandmother? I
- assumed that's why you're here.
- 499
- 00:41:49,810 --> 00:41:53,280
- Right.
- 500
- 00:41:53,314 --> 00:41:56,150
- How'd she go, anyway?
- 501
- 00:41:56,183 --> 00:41:58,219
- Does it matter?
- 502
- 00:41:58,252 --> 00:41:59,453
- S'pose not.
- 503
- 00:41:59,487 --> 00:42:03,324
- Wait, you can't leave. We need
- you here for the reading of the
- 504
- 00:42:03,357 --> 00:42:07,061
- will, or some shit.
- 505
- 00:42:07,094 --> 00:42:11,599
- Damn. Well, I
- can't simply be here
- 506
- 00:42:11,632 --> 00:42:15,903
- when everyone wakes up. That's
- no way to make an entrance.
- 507
- 00:42:15,936 --> 00:42:20,274
- True, the
- window was bold.
- 508
- 00:42:20,307 --> 00:42:22,910
- I ain't
- sticking around after.
- 509
- 00:42:22,943 --> 00:42:27,114
- I doubt anyone expects you to.
- 510
- 00:42:42,063 --> 00:42:47,001
- She was one of the good
- ones, wasn't she? Grandmother?
- 511
- 00:42:56,077 --> 00:43:00,014
- I never read your
- novel, by the way.
- 512
- 00:43:00,047 --> 00:43:02,116
- I never finished it.
- 513
- 00:43:43,190 --> 00:43:46,894
- What's
- the deal with the pool, Lily?
- 514
- 00:43:46,927 --> 00:43:49,964
- Apparently, its gone to shit.
- 515
- 00:43:59,807 --> 00:44:02,109
- It was the
- middle of the night.
- 516
- 00:44:02,143 --> 00:44:05,246
- We could hear
- the leopards breathing.
- 517
- 00:44:05,279 --> 00:44:07,915
- Smell their breath.
- 518
- 00:44:07,948 --> 00:44:10,417
- I readied my spear.
- 519
- 00:44:10,451 --> 00:44:14,989
- It was the only time I've
- ever been truly afraid.
- 520
- 00:44:15,189 --> 00:44:18,292
- He pounced, and
- I struck, caught-
- 521
- 00:44:18,325 --> 00:44:21,795
- Atrocious! What'd you do if
- someone were to hunt you.
- 522
- 00:44:21,829 --> 00:44:24,832
- Haha! I would welcome the sport.
- 523
- 00:44:24,865 --> 00:44:26,200
- Enough Whitman.
- 524
- 00:44:26,233 --> 00:44:29,036
- I doubt our guest wants
- to hear all those gory details.
- 525
- 00:44:29,069 --> 00:44:31,372
- Why don't you save
- them for your journals.
- 526
- 00:44:31,405 --> 00:44:33,174
- Or the paper.
- 527
- 00:44:33,774 --> 00:44:35,943
- I think readers would
- respond to your adventures.
- 528
- 00:44:35,976 --> 00:44:37,845
- It's not all
- curtains and cocktails.
- 529
- 00:44:37,878 --> 00:44:39,313
- Why wouldn't they?
- 530
- 00:44:39,346 --> 00:44:41,882
- Teddy Roosevelt
- was a hunter. Churchill.
- 531
- 00:44:41,916 --> 00:44:42,883
- Hemingway.
- 532
- 00:44:42,917 --> 00:44:44,919
- Aldo Leopold.
- 533
- 00:44:48,923 --> 00:44:51,458
- Aesop, the quail, are they
- farm-raised or from one of my
- 534
- 00:44:51,492 --> 00:44:53,127
- husband's many exploits?
- 535
- 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,128
- Farm, ma'am.
- 536
- 00:44:54,161 --> 00:44:55,262
- Oh! Thank goodness.
- 537
- 00:44:55,296 --> 00:44:57,798
- The last time I
- had quail, I spent the
- 538
- 00:44:57,831 --> 00:45:00,301
- entire morning pickin'
- buckshot outta my teeth.
- 539
- 00:45:12,514 --> 00:45:13,914
- What are you still doing here?
- 540
- 00:45:13,948 --> 00:45:16,784
- Manners, Cotton. I've offered
- 541
- 00:45:16,817 --> 00:45:18,819
- Mr. McCushing
- stay during his visit.
- 542
- 00:45:18,852 --> 00:45:21,388
- He and your Father used to
- work side by side at the paper.
- 543
- 00:45:21,422 --> 00:45:24,191
- Edwin, please. I remember you.
- 544
- 00:45:24,225 --> 00:45:26,227
- You were just
- a child at the time.
- 545
- 00:45:26,994 --> 00:45:28,495
- In what room.
- 546
- 00:45:29,396 --> 00:45:30,898
- I'm sorry?
- 547
- 00:45:32,333 --> 00:45:35,903
- In what room
- is Edwin staying in?
- 548
- 00:45:35,936 --> 00:45:37,505
- Oh, the yellow room.
- 549
- 00:45:37,539 --> 00:45:38,973
- But the renovations?
- 550
- 00:45:39,006 --> 00:45:40,941
- Completed first
- thing this morning.
- 551
- 00:45:40,975 --> 00:45:44,845
- Aesop, nothing brings me
- home like your egg scramble.
- 552
- 00:45:44,878 --> 00:45:48,516
- I haven't had a
- proper brunch in ages.
- 553
- 00:45:48,550 --> 00:45:50,784
- I'm not leaving this
- time without your secret.
- 554
- 00:45:50,818 --> 00:45:52,219
- What secret is that, Marietta?
- 555
- 00:45:52,253 --> 00:45:54,154
- How to break an egg?
- 556
- 00:45:55,422 --> 00:45:58,526
- You know what,
- join us, Aesop.
- 557
- 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,294
- Cotton.
- 558
- 00:46:00,327 --> 00:46:01,962
- Perhaps another time.
- 559
- 00:46:01,996 --> 00:46:04,331
- Nonsense, take my chair.
- 560
- 00:46:04,365 --> 00:46:07,101
- Is this about the yellow room?
- 561
- 00:46:07,134 --> 00:46:09,303
- No, this isn't
- about the yellow room,
- 562
- 00:46:09,336 --> 00:46:11,438
- though that is unfortunate.
- 563
- 00:46:11,472 --> 00:46:14,208
- Mother, you,
- yourself said Aesop is family.
- 564
- 00:46:14,241 --> 00:46:17,444
- I believe I said, practically.
- 565
- 00:46:18,145 --> 00:46:19,547
- Whitman?
- 566
- 00:46:23,917 --> 00:46:25,319
- I'd, uh, ask for a seat,
- 567
- 00:46:25,352 --> 00:46:27,288
- but they seem
- slim-to-none at this table.
- 568
- 00:46:45,005 --> 00:46:46,574
- You look
- amazing, Lou.
- 569
- 00:46:47,509 --> 00:46:49,376
- Don't start with that.
- 570
- 00:46:49,611 --> 00:46:51,979
- Ok. You go first.
- 571
- 00:47:01,488 --> 00:47:04,091
- How did you
- hear about your Grandmother?
- 572
- 00:47:04,992 --> 00:47:07,194
- Cotton, of course.
- 573
- 00:47:11,599 --> 00:47:13,400
- How's Lily?
- 574
- 00:47:14,902 --> 00:47:17,438
- She graduates in the spring.
- 575
- 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,408
- Hm, our little girl.
- 576
- 00:47:21,442 --> 00:47:23,477
- She's twenty one.
- 577
- 00:47:24,111 --> 00:47:26,413
- I'll have to
- buy her a drink then.
- 578
- 00:47:29,116 --> 00:47:30,451
- What's she studying?
- 579
- 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,253
- Like you give a damn!
- 580
- 00:47:46,501 --> 00:47:49,370
- You really
- do look amazing though.
- 581
- 00:48:05,687 --> 00:48:08,956
- This doesn't change anything.
- 582
- 00:48:29,309 --> 00:48:31,445
- You don't smoke.
- 583
- 00:48:37,384 --> 00:48:40,688
- Where is she, Whitman?
- 584
- 00:48:44,091 --> 00:48:47,961
- Havana. With her family.
- 585
- 00:48:50,732 --> 00:48:53,267
- She went the one
- place you couldn't follow.
- 586
- 00:48:54,669 --> 00:48:57,104
- Smart girl.
- 587
- 00:48:59,406 --> 00:49:04,011
- Well, relations with
- Cuba are better than ever.
- 588
- 00:49:07,281 --> 00:49:08,982
- Lucky you.
- 589
- 00:49:15,790 --> 00:49:18,025
- What?
- 590
- 00:49:19,092 --> 00:49:21,261
- Just looking at you.
- 591
- 00:49:21,295 --> 00:49:23,096
- I look old.
- 592
- 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,036
- I'd blame myself,
- if that were true.
- 593
- 00:49:31,305 --> 00:49:33,207
- I can't
- imagine that you would take the
- 594
- 00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:35,476
- blame for much of anything.
- 595
- 00:49:37,411 --> 00:49:41,315
- Fair shot. What else you got.
- 596
- 00:49:41,783 --> 00:49:46,253
- Sit down or leave.
- I have no energy for this.
- 597
- 00:49:46,286 --> 00:49:48,422
- Come on, Lou.
- 598
- 00:49:51,258 --> 00:49:53,695
- You know, I never should have
- 599
- 00:49:53,728 --> 00:49:56,463
- said yes to
- your foolish proposal.
- 600
- 00:49:56,664 --> 00:49:58,566
- Foolish?
- 601
- 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,367
- I was knocked up, at the time.
- 602
- 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,436
- I was proud of that.
- 603
- 00:50:03,805 --> 00:50:04,772
- Is that right?
- 604
- 00:50:04,806 --> 00:50:07,775
- Yeah.
- 605
- 00:50:07,809 --> 00:50:09,309
- And was it pride that drove
- 606
- 00:50:09,343 --> 00:50:12,045
- you away the
- second time around?
- 607
- 00:50:34,836 --> 00:50:36,671
- She hates me.
- 608
- 00:50:37,605 --> 00:50:38,806
- She doesn't hate you.
- 609
- 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,375
- I don't blame her.
- 610
- 00:50:41,408 --> 00:50:44,311
- No, I suppose you can't.
- 611
- 00:50:45,479 --> 00:50:48,348
- Anything you'd
- like to get off your chest.
- 612
- 00:50:50,250 --> 00:50:53,621
- Why, what did she say?
- 613
- 00:51:00,862 --> 00:51:04,832
- Look, Nancy,
- you get the contents of this library, all
- 614
- 00:51:04,866 --> 00:51:07,301
- her gowns and jewelry,
- except for three rings.
- 615
- 00:51:07,535 --> 00:51:10,103
- The
- sapphire for Marietta, the
- 616
- 00:51:10,137 --> 00:51:15,108
- white gold for Whitman the Fifth
- and Cotton, you get the diamond.
- 617
- 00:51:15,142 --> 00:51:16,878
- The Manor on Bloodworth Avenue
- 618
- 00:51:16,911 --> 00:51:19,581
- is yours, Whitman,
- and the house in Nag's Head,
- 619
- 00:51:19,614 --> 00:51:22,617
- will be
- sold for conservation purposes.
- 620
- 00:51:22,650 --> 00:51:25,152
- Conservation?
- 621
- 00:51:25,352 --> 00:51:28,455
- Aesop. How'd she put it,
- 622
- 00:51:29,289 --> 00:51:33,460
- "To my dear friend, Aesop, I
- leave a sum of twenty-three
- 623
- 00:51:33,493 --> 00:51:38,098
- thousand dollars and twelve
- acres off Peach Orchard Road."
- 624
- 00:51:40,535 --> 00:51:43,871
- Is that it? What of The Times?
- 625
- 00:51:43,905 --> 00:51:45,873
- Viola sold her shares-
- 626
- 00:51:45,907 --> 00:51:48,876
- It's all quite confidential,
- 627
- 00:51:48,910 --> 00:51:52,479
- but, but uh,
- 628
- 00:51:52,513 --> 00:51:56,718
- since we're all family here.
- 629
- 00:52:00,487 --> 00:52:02,289
- Lily.
- 630
- 00:52:02,322 --> 00:52:04,692
- Children.
- 631
- 00:52:04,926 --> 00:52:07,260
- My love.
- 632
- 00:52:07,662 --> 00:52:10,430
- Aesop.
- 633
- 00:52:10,732 --> 00:52:14,669
- I'm selling,
- The Carolina Times.
- 634
- 00:52:15,703 --> 00:52:17,705
- The hell you are.
- 635
- 00:52:17,739 --> 00:52:19,507
- At what price?
- 636
- 00:52:19,540 --> 00:52:22,309
- Mr. McCushing is here
- to appraise the business.
- 637
- 00:52:22,342 --> 00:52:23,243
- Edwin?
- 638
- 00:52:23,276 --> 00:52:26,581
- Yes, after leaving
- The Times, years ago,
- 639
- 00:52:26,614 --> 00:52:29,249
- he took the lead role
- over at Dagger Digital.
- 640
- 00:52:29,282 --> 00:52:30,818
- That's my paper.
- 641
- 00:52:30,852 --> 00:52:32,219
- Your paper?
- 642
- 00:52:32,252 --> 00:52:33,921
- Yeah!
- 643
- 00:52:33,955 --> 00:52:35,790
- You're a publisher,
- your father was a publisher,
- 644
- 00:52:35,823 --> 00:52:36,924
- his father was
- a publisher, his fath-
- 645
- 00:52:36,958 --> 00:52:40,260
- His father was a ship
- builder! What have you built.
- 646
- 00:52:40,293 --> 00:52:42,930
- You would
- really abandon it so easily?
- 647
- 00:52:42,964 --> 00:52:47,669
- I assure you there
- is nothing easy about it.
- 648
- 00:52:47,702 --> 00:52:51,405
- The peo-the
- people depend on us.
- 649
- 00:52:51,438 --> 00:52:52,640
- For what?
- 650
- 00:52:52,674 --> 00:52:53,641
- The Truth!
- 651
- 00:52:53,675 --> 00:52:54,809
- The Truth. In the news?
- 652
- 00:52:54,842 --> 00:52:55,610
- Yeah!
- 653
- 00:52:55,643 --> 00:52:59,379
- You'd have
- better luck finding God.
- 654
- 00:53:02,984 --> 00:53:04,217
- Cotton!
- 655
- 00:53:04,251 --> 00:53:09,189
- Look, Viola wanted you to have
- this. I'm sorry for your loss.
- 656
- 00:53:09,757 --> 00:53:14,662
- She was... well, you know.
- 657
- 00:53:21,002 --> 00:53:22,970
- I'm surprised
- they took it like that.
- 658
- 00:53:23,004 --> 00:53:25,707
- They all stand to
- make quite a bit of money.
- 659
- 00:53:27,608 --> 00:53:30,578
- Give Marietta
- a dollar, she'll save it.
- 660
- 00:53:30,611 --> 00:53:32,980
- Whitman? He'll lose it.
- 661
- 00:53:33,014 --> 00:53:37,518
- And give Cotton
- a dollar, he'll spend two.
- 662
- 00:53:37,552 --> 00:53:40,888
- I'm not sure when they
- became so goddamned entitled.
- 663
- 00:53:40,922 --> 00:53:43,356
- They'll come around.
- 664
- 00:53:44,257 --> 00:53:47,862
- It's not them I'm worried
- about to tell you the truth.
- 665
- 00:53:48,830 --> 00:53:52,533
- What am I gonna say to everybody
- out there on the floor.
- 666
- 00:53:52,567 --> 00:53:56,637
- Well, the sooner the
- better I say. No one wants to
- 667
- 00:53:56,671 --> 00:54:00,675
- find out their captain's jumped
- ship by watchin' him swim away.
- 668
- 00:54:01,241 --> 00:54:02,710
- I'm just glad knowing that
- 669
- 00:54:02,744 --> 00:54:06,480
- those, those presses
- are gonna keep on rollin'.
- 670
- 00:54:07,314 --> 00:54:09,349
- You gotta be kidding me.
- 671
- 00:54:09,382 --> 00:54:11,686
- Those archaic machines are gonna
- be the first thing that go.
- 672
- 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:12,887
- Hey.
- 673
- 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,722
- Hi. Your photographer is here.
- 674
- 00:54:14,756 --> 00:54:19,259
- What, oh, of course, um,
- sure, where do you want us.
- 675
- 00:54:20,595 --> 00:54:24,397
- Well, I say we keep it
- simple. How about by the couch?
- 676
- 00:54:24,732 --> 00:54:26,033
- Did I miss it?
- 677
- 00:54:26,067 --> 00:54:27,502
- Not a thing, Mr. Wells.
- 678
- 00:54:27,535 --> 00:54:30,671
- Good, good. Well uh,
- ol' Fitz here's the best.
- 679
- 00:54:30,705 --> 00:54:32,807
- I think we've bought a
- couple negatives, ourselves.
- 680
- 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,341
- Really? Who are you with?
- 681
- 00:54:34,374 --> 00:54:35,408
- Dagger.
- 682
- 00:54:35,442 --> 00:54:36,644
- Dagger... Digital?
- 683
- 00:54:36,677 --> 00:54:37,678
- Yeah.
- 684
- 00:54:37,712 --> 00:54:41,916
- Alright, gentlemen.
- Let's get this over with.
- 685
- 00:54:42,282 --> 00:54:44,519
- Old man O'Connor would be proud.
- 686
- 00:54:44,552 --> 00:54:47,922
- Yep, well, some people will
- bitch and moan, but at least
- 687
- 00:54:47,955 --> 00:54:50,792
- they will have a
- newspaper in the morning.
- 688
- 00:54:50,825 --> 00:54:53,493
- That's great,
- gentlemen, thank you.
- 689
- 00:54:54,729 --> 00:54:56,731
- Alright, well, uh, boys I'm off.
- 690
- 00:54:56,764 --> 00:54:57,732
- I'll walk out with ya.
- 691
- 00:54:57,765 --> 00:54:58,966
- Alright.
- 692
- 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,503
- I will have those papers on your
- desk by the end of the week.
- 693
- 00:55:09,811 --> 00:55:12,947
- I take it, you'll be discreet.
- 694
- 00:55:12,980 --> 00:55:15,850
- I hear nothing Mr. O'Connor.
- 695
- 00:55:15,883 --> 00:55:19,987
- May I ask you a question
- it-it's Fitzgerald, right?
- 696
- 00:55:20,021 --> 00:55:22,924
- Yes that's right. Fire away.
- 697
- 00:55:24,659 --> 00:55:28,963
- Do you think the
- world will remember us?
- 698
- 00:55:28,996 --> 00:55:31,431
- Long from now.
- 699
- 00:55:31,464 --> 00:55:33,935
- The Times?
- 700
- 00:55:34,936 --> 00:55:37,505
- That's hard to say.
- 701
- 00:55:37,538 --> 00:55:40,875
- You know, the paper, as much as
- the film in the camera, has told
- 702
- 00:55:40,908 --> 00:55:45,913
- our story for over a hundred
- years, but things change.
- 703
- 00:55:46,147 --> 00:55:49,784
- It may not be on fiber,
- or celluloid, Mr. O'Connor,
- 704
- 00:55:50,785 --> 00:55:53,921
- but our story, will continue.
- 705
- 00:55:55,556 --> 00:55:58,726
- So... it's forgotten.
- 706
- 00:55:59,527 --> 00:56:02,897
- You know, they say the Earth
- will be engulfed by the flames
- 707
- 00:56:02,930 --> 00:56:05,465
- of the Sun someday,
- 708
- 00:56:05,498 --> 00:56:08,468
- but that's nothing
- to fuss over right now.
- 709
- 00:56:20,948 --> 00:56:24,384
- Hi baby.
- 710
- 00:56:30,157 --> 00:56:32,660
- Hey.
- 711
- 00:56:34,862 --> 00:56:38,833
- Damn, I remember
- when we bought you this horse.
- 712
- 00:56:41,802 --> 00:56:45,006
- It's not the same horse.
- 713
- 00:57:04,692 --> 00:57:07,194
- My sweet gentleman.
- 714
- 00:57:07,228 --> 00:57:09,730
- I'm sure this
- must be hard for you.
- 715
- 00:57:09,764 --> 00:57:12,600
- You've always been
- such a sensitive young man.
- 716
- 00:57:12,633 --> 00:57:17,204
- I always loved those plays you
- and June put on in the attic,
- 717
- 00:57:17,238 --> 00:57:20,808
- Your paintings were
- inspiring and your novel.
- 718
- 00:57:20,841 --> 00:57:23,778
- I believe I finally understand.
- 719
- 00:57:23,811 --> 00:57:27,081
- It's about us. The Family.
- 720
- 00:57:27,114 --> 00:57:31,484
- Bit harsh, though I
- suppose it is a fair portrait.
- 721
- 00:57:31,519 --> 00:57:34,255
- I imagine it wasn't easy being
- raised in the shadow of your
- 722
- 00:57:34,288 --> 00:57:37,224
- brother, or The Times,
- 723
- 00:57:37,258 --> 00:57:40,127
- but I
- want you to know, there have
- 724
- 00:57:40,161 --> 00:57:43,831
- been many Whitman's, Cotton,
- but there's only one you.
- 725
- 00:57:44,732 --> 00:57:49,136
- And I love you, for all that
- you are, and will come to be.
- 726
- 00:57:50,271 --> 00:57:53,507
- Goodbye, sweet boy.
- 727
- 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:03,951
- What's on
- Peach Orchard Rd, Aesop?
- 728
- 00:58:05,686 --> 00:58:07,254
- My wife.
- 729
- 00:58:07,288 --> 00:58:09,123
- My children.
- 730
- 00:58:09,156 --> 00:58:11,859
- Three Grandchildren.
- 731
- 00:58:12,159 --> 00:58:14,128
- The sum covers the deed,
- 732
- 00:58:14,161 --> 00:58:17,497
- I've been buying it from her.
- 733
- 00:58:17,798 --> 00:58:20,601
- What are they like?
- 734
- 00:58:21,302 --> 00:58:24,238
- They get on just fine.
- 735
- 00:58:24,271 --> 00:58:27,875
- What are you still doing here?
- 736
- 00:58:27,908 --> 00:58:30,878
- There's nothing left
- but a pack of wolves.
- 737
- 00:58:30,911 --> 00:58:34,915
- And you. Are you a wolf?
- 738
- 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,288
- I'm a sheep in wolves' clothing.
- 739
- 00:58:41,322 --> 00:58:42,890
- Pull!
- 740
- 00:58:47,795 --> 00:58:50,798
- Nice shooting, Sir.
- 741
- 00:58:51,465 --> 00:58:54,902
- Don't ever
- call me that, again.
- 742
- 00:59:08,349 --> 00:59:09,417
- Whitman?
- 743
- 00:59:09,450 --> 00:59:12,319
- You and I have never
- really seen eye to eye, have we?
- 744
- 00:59:12,353 --> 00:59:15,623
- Hard to teach anything
- to a man who knows everything.
- 745
- 00:59:15,656 --> 00:59:18,859
- Yeah, okay, enough
- of the wisdom, old man.
- 746
- 00:59:18,893 --> 00:59:20,127
- What do you want.
- 747
- 00:59:20,161 --> 00:59:22,930
- Father. He's
- not thinking straight.
- 748
- 00:59:22,963 --> 00:59:25,199
- No worse than usual.
- 749
- 00:59:25,232 --> 00:59:27,201
- I'm challenging the sale.
- 750
- 00:59:27,234 --> 00:59:28,702
- I want to
- make sure you're on our side,
- 751
- 00:59:28,736 --> 00:59:30,704
- when this all shakes out.
- 752
- 00:59:30,738 --> 00:59:35,009
- Selling the Times
- could ruin this family.
- 753
- 00:59:35,743 --> 00:59:38,679
- If you say so.
- 754
- 00:59:39,380 --> 00:59:42,216
- Okay.
- 755
- 00:59:42,249 --> 00:59:45,786
- Good.
- 756
- 00:59:45,820 --> 00:59:48,689
- Good talk.
- 757
- 00:59:48,722 --> 00:59:50,758
- When I first
- approached June two years ago
- 758
- 00:59:50,791 --> 00:59:53,160
- with the idea
- for Bloom & Thorn,
- 759
- 00:59:53,194 --> 00:59:55,262
- she never once hesitated.
- 760
- 00:59:55,296 --> 01:00:00,000
- I am
- humbled and honored to be,
- 761
- 01:00:00,034 --> 01:00:04,371
- not only your
- partner, but your friend.
- 762
- 01:00:04,405 --> 01:00:05,739
- To June.
- 763
- 01:00:05,773 --> 01:00:07,241
- To June!
- 764
- 01:00:07,274 --> 01:00:09,743
- Thank you.
- 765
- 01:00:37,438 --> 01:00:41,976
- Damn, this place.
- 766
- 01:00:43,844 --> 01:00:47,181
- Real proud of you, June.
- 767
- 01:00:47,448 --> 01:00:50,718
- Okay.
- 768
- 01:00:51,986 --> 01:00:55,656
- What is it?
- 769
- 01:00:59,994 --> 01:01:03,664
- They're sellin' The Times.
- 770
- 01:01:04,932 --> 01:01:06,967
- Goodnight y'all.
- 771
- 01:01:07,001 --> 01:01:08,869
- June!
- 772
- 01:01:08,903 --> 01:01:11,972
- Goodnight.
- 773
- 01:01:31,825 --> 01:01:35,996
- Before you left, you stood tall.
- 774
- 01:01:36,665 --> 01:01:41,168
- Puff out your chest to let
- us all know you're comin'.
- 775
- 01:01:41,835 --> 01:01:45,706
- But, now you're like
- me, when I first came back.
- 776
- 01:01:46,373 --> 01:01:49,977
- Disenchanted.
- 777
- 01:02:01,889 --> 01:02:05,359
- What about us?
- 778
- 01:02:07,895 --> 01:02:10,764
- Cotton O'Connor.
- 779
- 01:02:10,798 --> 01:02:14,034
- A
- thousand times we had a chance.
- 780
- 01:02:14,068 --> 01:02:17,371
- You let every
- one of them blow on by.
- 781
- 01:04:28,670 --> 01:04:33,874
- You know you're Grandfather gave
- me that bottle, years ago.
- 782
- 01:04:39,279 --> 01:04:42,650
- Did you know him well?
- 783
- 01:04:42,684 --> 01:04:46,654
- As well as
- anybody could, I guess.
- 784
- 01:04:46,688 --> 01:04:50,090
- Oh, he lived for the paper.
- 785
- 01:04:55,396 --> 01:04:57,898
- They're selling it.
- 786
- 01:04:58,566 --> 01:05:01,368
- In certain circles
- 787
- 01:05:01,402 --> 01:05:04,371
- voting is
- done by, uh, placing small
- 788
- 01:05:04,405 --> 01:05:08,175
- marbles,
- black and white, into a jar.
- 789
- 01:05:08,208 --> 01:05:12,146
- Now, if one is to receive
- just one black marble the
- 790
- 01:05:12,179 --> 01:05:16,083
- inductee is denied.
- 791
- 01:05:16,116 --> 01:05:18,218
- I took a chance on you.
- 792
- 01:05:18,252 --> 01:05:22,322
- And I removed a
- black marble from your jar.
- 793
- 01:05:24,458 --> 01:05:27,529
- Why?
- 794
- 01:05:27,562 --> 01:05:31,699
- "There is a place you never see.
- 795
- 01:05:31,733 --> 01:05:34,401
- A place of
- endless fields of gold,
- 796
- 01:05:34,435 --> 01:05:38,573
- shrouded
- by uplifting pines.
- 797
- 01:05:38,606 --> 01:05:41,175
- Caught between sinking
- 798
- 01:05:41,208 --> 01:05:45,580
- mountains
- and drifting sand dunes.
- 799
- 01:05:45,613 --> 01:05:49,283
- A place where fallen
- tobacco barns lie alongside
- 800
- 01:05:51,452 --> 01:05:56,457
- quiet country roads like fallen
- giants from some forgotten war.
- 801
- 01:05:59,761 --> 01:06:03,631
- A place I love and you would too
- 802
- 01:06:05,132 --> 01:06:09,637
- if you had come
- to know it as I have."
- 803
- 01:06:14,776 --> 01:06:17,277
- You read my short story.
- 804
- 01:06:17,311 --> 01:06:21,114
- Many times.
- 805
- 01:06:21,148 --> 01:06:25,486
- We never
- wanted you for the paper Cotton.
- 806
- 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:30,290
- You see the Order is old and,
- let me tell you, it is as tired
- 807
- 01:06:30,324 --> 01:06:33,260
- as it is aged.
- 808
- 01:06:33,293 --> 01:06:37,130
- I just thought
- there would be young men,
- 809
- 01:06:37,164 --> 01:06:41,301
- like you, who'd be next in line.
- 810
- 01:06:45,172 --> 01:06:49,209
- But you know it's
- all just slipping away.
- 811
- 01:06:53,815 --> 01:06:56,784
- Perhaps it should.
- 812
- 01:06:56,818 --> 01:06:59,654
- You know what your trouble is?
- 813
- 01:06:59,687 --> 01:07:04,692
- You like to romanticize about
- the way things were.
- 814
- 01:07:05,827 --> 01:07:07,461
- But the
- truth is you don't want to
- 815
- 01:07:07,494 --> 01:07:09,797
- have anything to do with it.
- 816
- 01:07:09,831 --> 01:07:14,034
- Oh you
- dress the part, but Cotton,
- 817
- 01:07:14,836 --> 01:07:19,373
- your heart, it's your
- heart that knows better.
- 818
- 01:07:24,712 --> 01:07:27,447
- Oh.
- 819
- 01:07:32,319 --> 01:07:35,389
- You're
- not a bad guy, Cotton.
- 820
- 01:07:36,323 --> 01:07:39,459
- You're just not
- one of the hounds of dixie.
- 821
- 01:07:40,193 --> 01:07:44,398
- Now, my advice,
- drop the act. Just be you.
- 822
- 01:07:48,235 --> 01:07:50,370
- But what's the point?
- 823
- 01:07:50,404 --> 01:07:53,073
- I've been
- chasing this novel for years.
- 824
- 01:07:53,875 --> 01:07:55,710
- And still have
- nothing to show for it,
- 825
- 01:07:55,743 --> 01:07:56,844
- no real story to tell.
- 826
- 01:07:56,878 --> 01:08:00,380
- Oh, I don't believe that.
- 827
- 01:08:00,414 --> 01:08:05,085
- Perhaps your novel
- has been with you all along.
- 828
- 01:08:05,887 --> 01:08:07,855
- How's that?
- 829
- 01:08:07,889 --> 01:08:11,559
- Cotton, you know these
- hunts we cherish so dearly?
- 830
- 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:13,861
- Well let
- me ask you something.
- 831
- 01:08:13,895 --> 01:08:17,497
- Have you ever
- actually seen a fox?
- 832
- 01:08:18,900 --> 01:08:20,100
- Can't say that I have.
- 833
- 01:08:20,133 --> 01:08:25,105
- Well Cotton, that's because
- there are no foxes out there.
- 834
- 01:08:25,673 --> 01:08:27,575
- Not anymore.
- 835
- 01:08:28,910 --> 01:08:32,614
- We killed them all.
- 836
- 01:09:11,686 --> 01:09:13,921
- My name is
- Cotton O'Connor.
- 837
- 01:09:13,955 --> 01:09:17,659
- I'm a newspaperman
- by birth, an outcast by the pen.
- 838
- 01:09:17,692 --> 01:09:20,628
- I have seen
- much of the world, great walls
- 839
- 01:09:20,662 --> 01:09:24,932
- over ancient lands, romantic
- spires down the Rues of France.
- 840
- 01:09:24,966 --> 01:09:26,166
- Felt the rumble of hooves at the
- 841
- 01:09:26,199 --> 01:09:29,671
- great corrida in Pamplona, lost
- everything along the tracks of
- 842
- 01:09:29,704 --> 01:09:32,940
- the Curragh, only to make it back
- in the dingiest dives of Calcutta.
- 843
- 01:09:33,975 --> 01:09:35,943
- I have sailed, not drifted
- 844
- 01:09:35,977 --> 01:09:38,211
- down the peaceful,
- but on the hardest seas
- 845
- 01:09:38,245 --> 01:09:39,847
- on the other side of the Earth.
- 846
- 01:09:39,881 --> 01:09:42,684
- I believe I was chasing
- something, but standing at the
- 847
- 01:09:42,717 --> 01:09:45,853
- foot of Kilimanjaro
- I realized I was running,
- 848
- 01:09:45,887 --> 01:09:50,390
- running from a name,
- a place, an existence,
- 849
- 01:09:51,859 --> 01:09:55,863
- lost along the way news came
- that my Grandmother had passed.
- 850
- 01:09:56,998 --> 01:09:59,534
- We never said goodbye.
- 851
- 01:10:18,052 --> 01:10:20,722
- When I came
- home it all looked the same,
- 852
- 01:10:20,755 --> 01:10:22,724
- but nothing
- was as it would appear.
- 853
- 01:10:22,757 --> 01:10:25,593
- My Grandmother was gone
- and with her, and the wind,
- 854
- 01:10:25,626 --> 01:10:28,261
- a whimper of a way vanished.
- 855
- 01:10:28,295 --> 01:10:30,998
- The old South died and a new
- South, one full of change and
- 856
- 01:10:31,032 --> 01:10:33,266
- wonder stood in its place,
- 857
- 01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:35,402
- I could tell you
- of the breeze in Dingle,
- 858
- 01:10:35,435 --> 01:10:36,838
- or the thirst in Mumbai,
- 859
- 01:10:36,871 --> 01:10:39,040
- or the bravery
- endured in the arenas,
- 860
- 01:10:39,073 --> 01:10:41,408
- though I am no aficionado.
- 861
- 01:10:41,441 --> 01:10:44,779
- I will, however,
- tell you of the world I know,
- 862
- 01:10:44,812 --> 01:10:49,684
- the one I was given. Both a
- curse and a blessing of manner.
- 863
- 01:10:49,717 --> 01:10:51,552
- Where wars have been fought and
- 864
- 01:10:51,586 --> 01:10:54,488
- loves lost and
- things left unsaid,
- 865
- 01:10:54,522 --> 01:10:56,023
- but it was not their fault.
- 866
- 01:10:56,057 --> 01:10:58,025
- It's just the life I was given.
- 867
- 01:10:58,059 --> 01:11:01,028
- They birthed me to
- privilege, gave me everything,
- 868
- 01:11:01,062 --> 01:11:05,867
- and in the end I'm just a man
- with life at his fingertips.
- 869
- 01:11:05,900 --> 01:11:07,802
- Too stubborn to accept it,
- 870
- 01:11:07,835 --> 01:11:11,939
- too foolish to
- clench it in his hands.
- 871
- 01:11:46,974 --> 01:11:49,644
- It's not awful.
- 872
- 01:11:50,645 --> 01:11:54,549
- Predictable.
- 873
- 01:11:54,582 --> 01:11:57,952
- Forced at times.
- 874
- 01:11:57,985 --> 01:11:59,954
- A tad
- heavy handed on the homage
- 875
- 01:11:59,987 --> 01:12:03,323
- but, not awful.
- 876
- 01:12:06,794 --> 01:12:09,831
- I never apologized.
- 877
- 01:12:09,864 --> 01:12:12,733
- For ruining your Ball.
- 878
- 01:12:14,669 --> 01:12:15,970
- Yeah.
- 879
- 01:12:17,104 --> 01:12:20,407
- Well this family was
- never cut out for fairy tales.
- 880
- 01:12:27,548 --> 01:12:29,517
- What are you gonna do?
- 881
- 01:12:29,550 --> 01:12:31,986
- Now, that
- The Times is changing hands.
- 882
- 01:12:32,019 --> 01:12:33,988
- I don't know.
- 883
- 01:12:34,021 --> 01:12:37,592
- The Times
- were never really mine.
- 884
- 01:12:37,625 --> 01:12:41,095
- What about you?
- 885
- 01:12:46,033 --> 01:12:49,704
- I always thought I'd
- work for the paper, someday.
- 886
- 01:12:51,706 --> 01:12:54,709
- But I think it's good, ya know.
- 887
- 01:12:56,744 --> 01:13:01,481
- Now we can do whatever we want.
- 888
- 01:13:02,717 --> 01:13:04,819
- Why should
- I care if he sells it?
- 889
- 01:13:04,852 --> 01:13:07,420
- It's our heritage, Marietta.
- 890
- 01:13:10,057 --> 01:13:11,959
- Hey.
- 891
- 01:13:15,730 --> 01:13:17,098
- What is your plan?
- 892
- 01:13:17,131 --> 01:13:18,431
- I'll bring
- it to the board.
- 893
- 01:13:18,465 --> 01:13:19,967
- It sounded like a done-deal.
- 894
- 01:13:20,001 --> 01:13:22,036
- The O'Connor name has sat
- perched upon the header of every
- 895
- 01:13:22,069 --> 01:13:25,172
- issue that's ever
- gone to print for The Times.
- 896
- 01:13:25,206 --> 01:13:28,910
- I will see
- to it that it remains there.
- 897
- 01:13:31,512 --> 01:13:34,782
- Tonight, the O'Connor Family
- passes on the baton to Dagger
- 898
- 01:13:34,815 --> 01:13:37,785
- Digital and with that,
- 899
- 01:13:37,818 --> 01:13:40,821
- the responsibility to
- seek truth in journalism.
- 900
- 01:13:43,090 --> 01:13:44,725
- Though, a wise man once said
- 901
- 01:13:44,759 --> 01:13:46,794
- you'd have
- better luck finding God.
- 902
- 01:13:46,827 --> 01:13:49,931
- I so wish your
- Grandmother was still with us.
- 903
- 01:13:50,231 --> 01:13:52,767
- She would be proud.
- 904
- 01:13:56,237 --> 01:13:58,739
- I know this is hard, Cotton,
- 905
- 01:13:58,773 --> 01:14:01,876
- but this transition's
- not about you and me.
- 906
- 01:14:01,909 --> 01:14:04,245
- It's about those to come.
- 907
- 01:14:04,278 --> 01:14:07,081
- The next generation.
- 908
- 01:14:07,114 --> 01:14:08,582
- The faster we advance,
- 909
- 01:14:08,616 --> 01:14:12,219
- the stronger
- this world's gonna become.
- 910
- 01:14:12,253 --> 01:14:15,856
- You must see that.
- 911
- 01:14:16,891 --> 01:14:21,095
- Pretty soon, were gonna be
- traveling at the speed of light.
- 912
- 01:14:21,128 --> 01:14:25,533
- Two World Wars.
- Civil rights. Terror.
- 913
- 01:14:27,535 --> 01:14:31,772
- It has also seen what man
- has become. Both good and evil.
- 914
- 01:14:31,806 --> 01:14:35,242
- If our only
- concern is traveling fast
- 915
- 01:14:35,276 --> 01:14:38,813
- then we
- might just forget to live.
- 916
- 01:14:40,815 --> 01:14:43,150
- Faster than the speed of light?
- 917
- 01:14:48,289 --> 01:14:50,958
- We might all just disappear.
- 918
- 01:15:36,871 --> 01:15:39,206
- My Grandmother...
- 919
- 01:15:58,359 --> 01:16:00,895
- What's this?
- 920
- 01:16:13,908 --> 01:16:17,845
- Wait, so this isn't an apology?
- 921
- 01:16:18,045 --> 01:16:20,781
- Lily, I'm sorry.
- 922
- 01:16:20,815 --> 01:16:23,717
- We have the
- rest of our lives to therapize
- 923
- 01:16:23,751 --> 01:16:25,186
- with one another if need be.
- 924
- 01:16:25,219 --> 01:16:27,688
- What is wrong with you,
- 925
- 01:16:27,721 --> 01:16:29,090
- like, inherently?
- 926
- 01:16:29,123 --> 01:16:31,058
- It's not me! It's
- your Grandfather.
- 927
- 01:16:31,092 --> 01:16:33,627
- He's clearly
- insane and unfit to make
- 928
- 01:16:33,661 --> 01:16:35,696
- decisions on
- behalf of this family.
- 929
- 01:16:35,729 --> 01:16:36,697
- Who's insane?
- 930
- 01:16:36,730 --> 01:16:37,698
- Hey! Hey!
- 931
- 01:16:37,731 --> 01:16:38,699
- Who's unfit?
- 932
- 01:16:38,732 --> 01:16:41,969
- Lily!
- 933
- 01:16:42,002 --> 01:16:44,405
- My father is
- unhinged, you see that, right?
- 934
- 01:16:44,438 --> 01:16:47,975
- Whitman, you're
- starting to scare me.
- 935
- 01:16:48,008 --> 01:16:52,079
- So this truly is
- the end of The Times.
- 936
- 01:16:54,415 --> 01:16:58,385
- Are you sure
- that's what you want?
- 937
- 01:16:58,419 --> 01:17:01,188
- No other way, darling.
- 938
- 01:17:01,222 --> 01:17:05,626
- I suppose I should be
- hurt that I wasn't consulted.
- 939
- 01:17:07,428 --> 01:17:11,765
- Did you really
- not see it coming?
- 940
- 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:16,070
- No, I didn't.
- 941
- 01:17:19,974 --> 01:17:21,208
- Don't think I'm proud,
- 942
- 01:17:21,242 --> 01:17:23,944
- cause you finally
- decided to finish something.
- 943
- 01:17:23,978 --> 01:17:28,149
- That's all, O'Connor?
- 944
- 01:17:28,182 --> 01:17:32,653
- No sweet talk, no serenade?
- 945
- 01:17:33,454 --> 01:17:36,657
- You wasted
- enough time on me, June.
- 946
- 01:17:37,458 --> 01:17:41,862
- I do love you,
- in case I never mentioned it.
- 947
- 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,038
- Goodnight, June!
- 948
- 01:17:55,476 --> 01:17:57,444
- I messed up, Lou. Okay.
- 949
- 01:17:57,478 --> 01:18:01,682
- I- wh-I d-I don-I
- don't know what to say! I... I...
- 950
- 01:18:05,486 --> 01:18:09,123
- I...
- 951
- 01:18:15,496 --> 01:18:17,998
- I fucked Cotton.
- 952
- 01:18:30,512 --> 01:18:35,382
- Pigs be fed,
- yet hogs be slaughtered.
- 953
- 01:18:36,518 --> 01:18:38,352
- Whitman?
- 954
- 01:18:38,385 --> 01:18:39,320
- Pigs be what?
- 955
- 01:18:39,353 --> 01:18:44,358
- I said, pigs be fed,
- yet hogs be slaughtered.
- 956
- 01:18:47,127 --> 01:18:48,128
- Whitman...
- 957
- 01:18:48,162 --> 01:18:48,929
- Oh my God.
- 958
- 01:18:48,963 --> 01:18:50,364
- This is between you and I.
- 959
- 01:18:50,397 --> 01:18:51,865
- You and me, little brother.
- 960
- 01:18:51,899 --> 01:18:54,868
- Boys!
- 961
- 01:18:54,902 --> 01:18:57,271
- Put down the weapon, son.
- 962
- 01:18:57,304 --> 01:18:59,873
- This is madness!
- 963
- 01:18:59,907 --> 01:19:02,876
- Madness is a man's own brother
- 964
- 01:19:02,910 --> 01:19:05,513
- sleeping with his wife
- in a time of weakness.
- 965
- 01:19:05,547 --> 01:19:07,214
- What are you talking about?
- 966
- 01:19:07,248 --> 01:19:08,315
- Oh shit.
- 967
- 01:19:08,349 --> 01:19:10,017
- Cotton O'Connor, my brother.
- 968
- 01:19:10,050 --> 01:19:13,521
- You're son. Slept with my wife.
- 969
- 01:19:13,555 --> 01:19:15,923
- The mother of my child.
- 970
- 01:19:15,956 --> 01:19:18,092
- I was so lonely, Whitman.
- 971
- 01:19:18,125 --> 01:19:22,229
- You're being ridiculous.
- Just put the gun down.
- 972
- 01:19:22,263 --> 01:19:25,032
- Y tu, hermana. Supposed
- to be us, versus them. Remember?
- 973
- 01:19:25,065 --> 01:19:28,068
- Well, you're a bit off-script.
- 974
- 01:19:28,102 --> 01:19:31,138
- I blame myself
- for all this madness.
- 975
- 01:19:31,171 --> 01:19:34,074
- I blame you too.
- 976
- 01:19:34,108 --> 01:19:36,910
- You both seem surprised.
- 977
- 01:19:36,944 --> 01:19:40,548
- Now that Viola and Whitman
- the Third have both passed,
- 978
- 01:19:40,582 --> 01:19:43,417
- I can no
- longer hold my tongue, stand by,
- 979
- 01:19:43,450 --> 01:19:47,087
- and watch
- you disembowel each other.
- 980
- 01:19:47,121 --> 01:19:51,458
- Now I feel the need to remind
- you all that you're family.
- 981
- 01:19:52,594 --> 01:19:55,129
- Though if savage you've become
- 982
- 01:19:56,598 --> 01:20:00,801
- then civilized
- words are already lost.
- 983
- 01:20:08,242 --> 01:20:09,410
- Whitman, I-
- 984
- 01:20:09,443 --> 01:20:13,013
- Cotton, I know, I know, I
- know, I just-I just wish that-
- 985
- 01:20:19,153 --> 01:20:22,122
- Somebody call
- the ambulance! Somebody!
- 986
- 01:20:22,156 --> 01:20:24,124
- Be still, be still.
- 987
- 01:20:24,158 --> 01:20:28,162
- It's gonna be alright,
- kid. Your gonna be alright.
- 988
- 01:20:30,364 --> 01:20:34,502
- Hold on, Cotton.
- 989
- 01:20:34,769 --> 01:20:38,606
- I love you, too.
- 990
