00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,670
What's the word, Charlie?

2
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,500
We going through, or what?

3
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:01,720
Heading back through the truck?

4
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:06,050
Come on, old timer, what are you doing?

5
00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:12,820
Uh, excuse me, sir. Can we help you?

6
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,140
Can we help you with something?

7
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,100
Did I miss the Spec?

8
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:20,820
Yeah, I'm afraid so.
The show was this afternoon.

9
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:21,940
Oh.

10
00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:25,740
Did you come with the folks
from Green Haven?

11
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:29,540
Why don't we get out of the rain,
and we'll call them for you.

12
00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:32,080
No, no, no, no! I came on my own.

13
00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:35,830
No, it's okay. We're gonna call the home.
We're gonna have them come pick you up.

14
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,840
I'm telling you,
I didn't come with the home!

15
00:01:38,930 --> 00:01:41,260
Why don't you take those rings
out of your head,

16
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:43,210
and maybe you won't be deaf and dumb!

17
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,800
Well, it's alive.

18
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:49,760
I'm sorry, kid. I didn't mean that.

19
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:53,730
Your rings look very

20
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:56,020
pretty.

21
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:01,740
Russ, why don't you take that walker
back to my trailer and finish packing up?

22
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:04,990
Sir? Man, I gotta get you
out of this parking lot.

23
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,540
Why don't you sit down in the wheelchair?
We'll go inside and make some calls.

24
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:11,330
Come on, please.

25
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:16,420
Malcolm, tell them to come through!

26
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:18,000
Yeah. Hey, how you doing?

27
00:02:18,090 --> 00:02:20,630
I'm looking for a number
I can't seem to find in the book.

28
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,960
It's for a nursing home called Green Haven.

29
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:25,760
I hope they sweat.

30
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,640
I walked right out of the door
and nobody noticed.

31
00:02:29,730 --> 00:02:31,090
Green Haven.

32
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:33,890
It's a nursing home.

33
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,350
Hello? Hello?

34
00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:39,560
Hagenbeck-Wallace! Before the wreck.

35
00:02:41,490 --> 00:02:42,730
Yeah. You know circuses?

36
00:02:42,820 --> 00:02:44,660
I should. I been on two.

37
00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:48,410
Hey, is there a relative maybe I can call?
Or another number you have?

38
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,200
The first was the Benzini Brothers.

39
00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:53,120
Benzini Brothers? When?

40
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:54,580
1931.

41
00:02:54,670 --> 00:02:56,330
'31 for how long?

42
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:05,420
Now, you know the Benzini Brothers
never saw the end of'31.

43
00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:08,130
Are you telling me
that you were there for...

44
00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:09,810
- Right in the middle of it.
- Well, that's incredible,

45
00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:13,730
because after the Hartford fire
and the Hagenbeck-Wallace wreck,

46
00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:17,980
that's pretty much the most famous
circus disaster in history.

47
00:03:26,660 --> 00:03:27,820
Are you okay?

48
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:32,280
You got anything to drink around here
that isn't apple juice?

49
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:34,780
Uh...

50
00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:37,250
Yeah, I think so.

51
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:50,050
- There you go.
- Thank you.

52
00:03:59,230 --> 00:04:00,720
I remember you.

53
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,940
So, how long you been in that home?

54
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:04,570
Too long.

55
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:09,200
I don't know why they call it a home.
You don't know anybody there.

56
00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:12,570
They stuff you so full of drugs,
you don't care.

57
00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:17,160
Five kids and not one has a place for me
since their mother died.

58
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:22,160
They take turns visiting on weekends.

59
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,090
My son forgot
whose turn it was today, so...

60
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,510
I can't blame him. The kid's 71.
He's starting to lose it up here.

61
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,550
They're not bad kids.
It's not their fault I'm old.

62
00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:40,690
I had a good life, you know.

63
00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:44,400
A big life.

64
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,860
Take a seat. Yeah.

65
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
I'm sorry. You know what?
My name is Charlie O'Brien Ill.

66
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:59,420
Jacob Jankowski, the only.

67
00:05:01,210 --> 00:05:02,700
That's good.

68
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,790
Don't you have to call the home?

69
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:09,510
I think we should let them sweat.

70
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,590
But if I could, I was wondering,

71
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,930
you know, could you talk to me
about what happened in 1931?

72
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:25,570
Gonna need another bottle of this.

73
00:05:28,030 --> 00:05:31,400
It was a big day,
that last day of my final exam.

74
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:33,150
I couldn't move fast enough.

75
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:35,240
My life was
finally gonna start,

76
00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:38,240
and I knew exactly where it was taking me.

77
00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:48,040
Inside our house,
there was no sign of a Depression.

78
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:51,500
My mother and father had left Poland
in much worse condition.

79
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,550
To them, nobody could be poor in America
if they had half a brain in their head.

80
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,150
Love you, too, Mommy.

81
00:06:21,130 --> 00:06:24,370
After six years of dissections, castrations,

82
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:28,580
and shoving my arm up a cow's ass
more times than I care to remember,

83
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,090
by the end of that day, I knew I'd be
a Cornell graduate of Veterinary Science.

84
00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:35,880
And by the end of that night,

85
00:06:35,970 --> 00:06:40,140
I'd be the first man Catherine Hale
ever invited into her bed.

86
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:41,340
She was nuts about me.

87
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,680
You will have two hours
to complete the exam.

88
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,940
When you have finished the exam,
close the booklet,

89
00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:52,570
turn it face downwards
and raise your hands.

90
00:06:52,660 --> 00:06:54,320
When I have acknowledged you,

91
00:06:54,410 --> 00:06:59,150
you may bring the exam up to me
and leave.

92
00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:00,780
You may begin.

93
00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:05,580
I had a new life all planned.

94
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:07,130
Then with the opening of a door,

95
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:11,590
Every plan I had vanished.

96
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,460
Mr. Jankowski?

97
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,340
May we have a word with you?

98
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:36,900
Jacob, I'm afraid there's been
a car accident.

99
00:07:41,710 --> 00:07:43,870
It's right in there, son.

100
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,730
Is there any other family to call?

101
00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:14,770
No. No, it's just me.

102
00:08:25,710 --> 00:08:29,580
According to our records,
there is no mistake,, Mr. Jankowski.

103
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:33,000
The house and all their assets,
including your father's practice,

104
00:08:33,090 --> 00:08:35,170
are property of the bank
in default of the loan.

105
00:08:35,260 --> 00:08:40,000
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
My father owned that house outright.

106
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:43,760
These documents are dated four years ago.
He signed them.

107
00:08:43,850 --> 00:08:47,190
Did they need money
for any reason four years ago?

108
00:08:47,270 --> 00:08:49,350
My tuition.

109
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,150
Well, there you have it.

110
00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:55,650
Now, perhaps if you hadn't gone
to college, you'd still have a home.

111
00:08:55,740 --> 00:08:59,730
But in light of the way your father
ran his business, that's unlikely.

112
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:02,070
My fatherwas a good man.

113
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,200
And when people came to him for help,
he gave it.

114
00:09:04,290 --> 00:09:07,870
Your father was an irresponsible man

115
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,700
who let people pay him
in chickens, and eggs,

116
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,830
and what ever they had instead of money.

117
00:09:15,130 --> 00:09:18,670
This Depression is with us
for a very long while. Believe me.

118
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,380
And the only people standing
at the end of it

119
00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:23,960
will be the ones
who take what they need to survive.

120
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:26,970
Don't make the same mistakes
as your father.

121
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:12,520
I remember walking out
the front door

122
00:10:15,690 --> 00:10:18,690
and forcing myself not to look back.

123
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:26,780
I couldn't stay where everything
reminded me of the life that was gone.

124
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:30,460
And I didn't see the point
in going back to school.

125
00:10:30,540 --> 00:10:34,380
There were a lot of men in those days
with no home, no family,

126
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:37,370
leaving small towns that were dying.

127
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:39,960
The rumor was
that there were jobs in the cities,

128
00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:44,010
so I got it into my head
that I'd walk to Albany.

129
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:45,760
I never made it.

130
00:12:16,730 --> 00:12:18,560
Hey, don't be messing with Blackie!

131
00:12:18,650 --> 00:12:21,110
Throwing people off trains
is one of the perks of his job.

132
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:23,900
We don't need no bums on this train.

133
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:27,450
Everybody, calm down here.
Grady, put that damn pistol away.

134
00:12:27,530 --> 00:12:31,120
Blackie, let him go.
And I mean on the inside of the train.

135
00:12:32,660 --> 00:12:34,750
I'm telling you, we don't need no trouble.

136
00:12:34,830 --> 00:12:36,570
I mean, look at them clothes.

137
00:12:36,670 --> 00:12:38,500
He ain't no bum.

138
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:48,290
Don't be sore, kid.
It's almost a reflex with Blackie.

139
00:12:48,390 --> 00:12:49,470
I'm Camel.

140
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,090
That there is Grady and Wade.

141
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:55,090
I'm Jacob. Jankowski.

142
00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:57,550
Jankowski? Gorski!

143
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,940
Mmm?

144
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,860
You know,
you're pretty young to be on the rails.

145
00:13:08,950 --> 00:13:10,110
You running from something maybe?

146
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,940
No, no, nothing like that.

147
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,700
Where you headed?

148
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:15,740
I don't know.

149
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:18,410
You hungry? Out of work?

150
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,580
There's no shame in that. No shame in that.

151
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:23,630
Well, what can you do?

152
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,960
Just about anything, I guess.

153
00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:30,290
We land in Deposit in the morning.
We'll get you some work for the day,

154
00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:33,470
and if you're still alive at the end of it,
I will take you to see August,

155
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:37,300
the Lord and Masterof the Known
and the Unknown Universe himself!

156
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Who's that?

157
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:42,390
Hold on, chlopak,
you're in for the ride of your life.

158
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,990
You see that?

159
00:14:45,090 --> 00:14:46,540
Wave, Olivia.

160
00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:16,380
Now, I don't know
if I picked that train,

161
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:18,510
or that train picked me.

162
00:16:20,220 --> 00:16:24,590
But something told me
my mother and my father sent it my way.

163
00:16:24,690 --> 00:16:27,050
I'd like to think that, anyway.

164
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,890
Hello, ma'am.

165
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,110
Hey! What the hell
are you doing in here?

166
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,980
Get out of there!
You ain't no menagerie man.

167
00:16:37,070 --> 00:16:40,110
Come on. I got you some work.

168
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,690
- With the animals?
- Oh, you betcha!

169
00:16:47,750 --> 00:16:49,660
I've never seen so much manure.

170
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:51,870
They pack them in 27 a car.

171
00:16:58,180 --> 00:16:59,890
How do you stand the smell?

172
00:17:00,260 --> 00:17:01,250
What smell?

173
00:17:02,890 --> 00:17:04,550
Ladies and gentlemen!

174
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,350
Step right this way
to see the most dazzling collection

175
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,680
of wonders, oddities and marvels
of the natural world!

176
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:13,770
Step right this way...

177
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:17,230
When Cecil gives the signal, you gotta
push the rubes in toward the entrance.

178
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,360
Without them catching on,
or else there'll be a fight.

179
00:17:20,450 --> 00:17:22,320
...of pudgy perfection.

180
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:28,030
All for one thin dime. And believe me,
it'll be the best dime you ever spent,

181
00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:32,540
I guarantee! Right this way!
Hand your dime to this fella right here.

182
00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:35,170
Ladies to the right. Gentlemen to the left.

183
00:17:35,260 --> 00:17:38,550
Folks, just put one foot in front
of the other, and the body will follow!

184
00:17:38,970 --> 00:17:40,550
Take this.

185
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,880
Smack the sides with it

186
00:17:42,970 --> 00:17:46,430
if you see any heads trying to peek in
without paying.

187
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,050
Silver.

188
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:15,890
That's right. Good boy. Good boy.

189
00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:18,730
Are you okay?

190
00:19:19,610 --> 00:19:21,230
You're shaking a little bit.

191
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:32,820
Excuse me, ma'am.

192
00:19:36,130 --> 00:19:38,160
Do you mind if I take a look?

193
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:50,300
Performers to the Spec line!

194
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:52,760
All performers to the Spec line!

195
00:19:52,850 --> 00:19:54,340
Walk on.

196
00:19:57,610 --> 00:19:58,890
Casey, move up.

197
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:15,410
Showtime! Showtime!
Move it up. Let's go!

198
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:27,510
Ladies and gentlemen,

199
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,880
and children of all ages,

200
00:20:29,970 --> 00:20:33,220
welcome to the most
extravagant extravaganza

201
00:20:33,310 --> 00:20:35,430
the human eye can behold!

202
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,890
Welcome the stars of the Benzini Brothers

203
00:20:38,980 --> 00:20:41,730
Most Spectacular Show on Earth!

204
00:21:52,430 --> 00:21:55,890
She didn't seem real to me at first.

205
00:21:55,980 --> 00:22:00,600
The way she looked inside that big top
under those lights.

206
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:04,850
I thought I'd go blind from the shine.

207
00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:10,530
Benzini Brothers outdid God himself.
They created heaven in one day.

208
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,940
And just as fast

209
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:16,030
heaven was packed away and gone.

210
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,740
Whoa, you better take a breath
before it all comes back up on you.

211
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,250
Here.

212
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,800
What is that?

213
00:22:32,890 --> 00:22:37,260
It's Jake. It's all we got
when there's no real hooch.

214
00:22:37,350 --> 00:22:39,510
Damn Prohibition.

215
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,440
It don't seem American
to deny a man a drink.

216
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,810
Ain't it in the Constitution
that a man has got a right to happiness?

217
00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:52,940
Come on. I'll take you up to see August.

218
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,570
Right now? It's the middle of the night.

219
00:22:54,660 --> 00:22:57,450
The only time circus people live,
even the boss.

220
00:22:57,540 --> 00:23:01,700
See, musicians and sideshow people
are above us roustabouts,

221
00:23:01,790 --> 00:23:03,500
but below the specialty acts,

222
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:05,870
which, of course,
are below the ring stock animals.

223
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,050
And everybody, everybody,
is below the bosses.

224
00:23:09,130 --> 00:23:10,710
Don't ever forget that.

225
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,460
You wanna watch them clowns.

226
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,210
Nobody ever gets a safe passage
through here.

227
00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:18,470
Oh, Lucinda, my dear! Good evening.
How are you?

228
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,550
Hello.

229
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,180
You bring out the sunshine.

230
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:24,890
Ooh. I know you. I saw you at my show.

231
00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:26,350
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

232
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,520
Want a private dance?

233
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:33,230
- How's your pipe, kid?
- Barbara! Easy, now, Barbara.

234
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,060
- Good night, ladies.
- Good night, Camel.

235
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,990
We like him, Camel.

236
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:39,440
- Good night, Camel!
- Good night!

237
00:23:39,540 --> 00:23:43,450
Now try not to talk till
you're familiar with the vernacular,

238
00:23:43,540 --> 00:23:45,000
or you'll get your head bashed in.

239
00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:47,000
Like, townies are "rubes,"

240
00:23:47,090 --> 00:23:49,950
and performers aren't performers.
They're "kinkers,"

241
00:23:50,050 --> 00:23:53,210
but never call them that to their faces.

242
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:54,260
So what do I call them?

243
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:57,210
Performers. Just don't talk to them at all.
You'll live longer.

244
00:23:57,350 --> 00:24:00,640
Now be nice and quiet along here,
because we have to show some respect

245
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:02,090
to the ladies and...

246
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:04,640
- Gentlemen.
- Good evening.

247
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:06,940
Hey, Camel, who's the woman
who works with the horses?

248
00:24:07,020 --> 00:24:11,270
That ain't no woman.
That's the boss's wife, Marlena.

249
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:14,570
She's a star attraction.
And she don't talk to nobody,

250
00:24:14,660 --> 00:24:17,820
and you don't talk to her.
She'll just high-hat you anyway.

251
00:24:18,370 --> 00:24:23,030
You know, I got a son about your age
lives outside of Reading, Pennsylvania.

252
00:24:24,170 --> 00:24:27,160
I haven't seen him in years.

253
00:24:28,550 --> 00:24:29,910
Fix your shirt there.

254
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,170
Before we do this, I got to ask you,
and I don't want to know your business,

255
00:24:36,260 --> 00:24:39,050
but I do know that
you ain't been on the road too long.

256
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:41,800
So before you start, I got to ask you,

257
00:24:41,890 --> 00:24:47,140
if you got any kind of life to go back to,
that's what you should do.

258
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,140
I don't.

259
00:24:50,690 --> 00:24:53,610
I am so sorry to hearthat.

260
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:56,030
Now, remember, when you meet August,
let him do the talking.

261
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,730
Don't go blowing your wig.
And don't ever mention Ringling Brothers!

262
00:24:59,830 --> 00:25:02,990
He hates them bastards
worse than the Depression.

263
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,160
Now this here is Earl,
and he's going to take you in.

264
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:09,790
Earl, this here is Jacob.

265
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,580
- Nice to meet you, Earl.
- Yeah.

266
00:25:20,510 --> 00:25:21,800
What's this, Earl?

267
00:25:21,890 --> 00:25:25,510
The stowaway that Polack rummy
took under his wing.

268
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,310
College boy.

269
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,760
I don't believe
we had the pleasure.

270
00:25:30,860 --> 00:25:32,850
Jacob Jankowski, sir.

271
00:25:32,940 --> 00:25:35,860
So, what am I supposed to do
with a Jacob Jankowski?

272
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,600
I'm just looking for work, sir.

273
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:41,410
- Ever worked a show, son?
- No, sir.

274
00:25:41,490 --> 00:25:44,080
- Ever seen a show?
- Yes, sir. Ringling Brothers.

275
00:25:53,130 --> 00:25:54,420
Ringling, eh?

276
00:25:55,420 --> 00:25:57,260
Yeah, but it was terrible.

277
00:26:01,890 --> 00:26:03,800
Well, they do try, don't they, boys?

278
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,600
You seen our show?

279
00:26:09,690 --> 00:26:11,050
Yes, sir.

280
00:26:11,150 --> 00:26:13,230
Yeah? What's your favorite act?

281
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,480
I like the one
with the black and white horses.

282
00:26:17,570 --> 00:26:20,440
You've got a good eye. My star attraction.

283
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,820
Well, I do believe we're looking for a boy

284
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:26,070
to carry water for the elephants.
Aren't we, Joe?

285
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,780
We don't have any elephants.

286
00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:30,700
That sounds perfect.
I'd love to work with the animals.

287
00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:32,160
Come here.

288
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,380
These from one day of work?

289
00:26:41,470 --> 00:26:42,630
Yes, sir.

290
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,590
Why would a college boy
dirty his hands as a filthy roustabout?

291
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,970
I guess because
out of all that dirt and sweat,

292
00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:54,980
working with these fellows you wouldn't
be caught dead in the daylight with,

293
00:26:55,070 --> 00:26:56,600
comes so much beauty.

294
00:26:56,690 --> 00:26:58,730
You grandstanding me, kid?

295
00:26:58,820 --> 00:27:00,310
No. No, sir.

296
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:01,900
That was beautifully put.

297
00:27:01,990 --> 00:27:05,860
Yet you ride my train,
you eat my food without my permission

298
00:27:05,950 --> 00:27:10,290
while hard-working men labor all day
for the same privileges.

299
00:27:10,370 --> 00:27:14,580
And these filthy roustabouts are my family.
You, you are an intruder.

300
00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:17,130
Next stop, throw him off.

301
00:27:17,210 --> 00:27:19,710
Probably studied poetry.

302
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,090
I studied veterinary science, not poetry.

303
00:27:22,180 --> 00:27:25,470
And I can tell you one thing.
That star attraction horse of yours?

304
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,590
It's not gonna be walking
in a few weeks, let alone performing.

305
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:29,970
Earl? Wait.

306
00:27:33,060 --> 00:27:34,850
Veterinary sciences?

307
00:27:34,940 --> 00:27:37,060
- What school?
- Cornell.

308
00:27:37,150 --> 00:27:39,140
You're a Cornell graduate?

309
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:45,450
He did work the rubes for me
this afternoon. He was pretty good.

310
00:27:45,530 --> 00:27:49,400
He shoveled horseshit all day.
That don't make him no horse doctor.

311
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:51,660
I'm sure Ringling has his own vet.

312
00:27:58,670 --> 00:28:00,250
Cornell, come with me.

313
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,340
- You surefooted, Cornell?
- Yeah.

314
00:28:04,430 --> 00:28:05,760
Good.

315
00:28:22,030 --> 00:28:23,860
It's incredible.

316
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,820
Takes your breath away,
doesn't it?

317
00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:36,740
My star attraction is limping,

318
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,170
and I can't get a new liberty horse
midseason.

319
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:44,460
So you make sure the horse performs,
and the job is yours. Nine bucks a week.

320
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:48,500
You do right by me, Cornell,

321
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,840
I'll show you a life
most suckers can't even dream of.

322
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:55,100
Come on!

323
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:02,060
Yeah, I could use an educated man
around here.

324
00:29:04,990 --> 00:29:09,450
Gets pretty tiring talking
to my menagerie of trained seals.

325
00:29:09,530 --> 00:29:11,070
Come on!

326
00:29:29,470 --> 00:29:31,930
- Kinko.
- August.

327
00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:33,470
I have a roommate for you.

328
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,770
- What is he?
- Jacob. Jankowski.

329
00:29:35,850 --> 00:29:37,510
I asked what, not who.

330
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,850
This gentleman is the show's new vet.

331
00:29:40,940 --> 00:29:42,400
Ivy League, no less,

332
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,020
which puts him a good deal higher
in my estimation than you.

333
00:29:46,110 --> 00:29:49,150
Perhaps you would like
to offer him your cot.

334
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,320
I'll find you in the morning
to see about that horse, Cornell.

335
00:29:58,170 --> 00:30:01,450
That a Jack Russell? They're real smart.

336
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,710
You're not getting the cot.

337
00:30:07,090 --> 00:30:10,180
- Darling, may I introduce to you...
- Careful.

338
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:11,670
Jacob. Jankowski.

339
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Jacob Jankowski, Benzini Brothers'
very own Ivy League veterinarian.

340
00:30:18,060 --> 00:30:22,980
- He's the vet?
- Yeah. Studied at Cornell University.

341
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,310
The right front hoof.

342
00:30:30,410 --> 00:30:32,940
- It's an abscess.
- Darling.

343
00:30:37,330 --> 00:30:40,540
It didn't look this bad in the show.
You need a hoof tester?

344
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:41,710
No, I don't think so.

345
00:30:41,790 --> 00:30:45,500
It needs heat and cold until it breaks,
then it needs a salt wrap.

346
00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:46,870
It'll be fine.

347
00:30:48,050 --> 00:30:49,630
Come on, boy.

348
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,130
- Help me in, Joe. Thank you.
- Yep.

349
00:30:53,180 --> 00:30:54,640
Come on, boy.

350
00:31:01,940 --> 00:31:03,390
Well?

351
00:31:04,980 --> 00:31:08,070
I didn't want to say anything
in front of Mrs. Rosenbluth.

352
00:31:08,150 --> 00:31:09,980
The horse has laminitis.

353
00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:11,560
English.

354
00:31:13,780 --> 00:31:18,450
The connective tissue between the hoof
and the coffin bone has been compromised.

355
00:31:18,540 --> 00:31:22,660
So when he walks, the coffin bone
rotates toward the sole of the hoof

356
00:31:22,790 --> 00:31:25,280
until it punctures through.

357
00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:26,620
But it hasn't punctured yet.

358
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:30,380
No, it hasn't, but it's just a matter of time.

359
00:31:30,470 --> 00:31:31,550
And he's in a lot of pain.

360
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,550
How much time?

361
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,050
Two, three days.

362
00:31:36,140 --> 00:31:37,380
He needs to be put down.

363
00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:45,220
You know all this by just looking at it?
Is there nothing you can do?

364
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,310
No. It's pretty severe.

365
00:31:49,490 --> 00:31:51,020
I'm sorry.

366
00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:52,980
Well, I appreciate it.

367
00:31:55,490 --> 00:31:59,200
Darling, Cornell here agrees with you.
It's nothing really to worry about.

368
00:31:59,290 --> 00:32:01,120
Joe, get Pete to help Marlena.

369
00:32:01,210 --> 00:32:03,370
Pete's gonna feed the cats.

370
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:06,490
No, we'll do that.
You just take care of him. Come on.

371
00:32:13,550 --> 00:32:15,210
They get a bucket each.

372
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,260
Are you sure they like this stuff?
It's gone bad.

373
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,390
No. They like goats.

374
00:32:25,150 --> 00:32:26,560
We're all out of goats.

375
00:32:30,740 --> 00:32:33,850
Why don't you start
with Rex here in the middle?

376
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,480
What do I do,
just open the door and toss it in?

377
00:32:40,580 --> 00:32:44,120
Unless you think a formal sit-down
is more appropriate.

378
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,590
Slow and quiet.

379
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,010
He won't notice you're there.

380
00:33:11,860 --> 00:33:14,690
Didn't they cover this in class?

381
00:33:14,780 --> 00:33:19,150
Place it in gently. Don't throw it.
You don't want to startle him.

382
00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:37,720
- You think that's funny?
- Yes, I do.

383
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,600
- I could have lost my arm.
- No, you couldn't have.

384
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,510
He doesn't have any teeth.

385
00:33:47,270 --> 00:33:48,480
Does it hurt?

386
00:33:49,610 --> 00:33:50,770
Like this?

387
00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:56,350
Your gut tells you
to shoot my star attraction?

388
00:33:56,450 --> 00:34:00,030
No treatment, no hoof tester,
just your Cornell gut.

389
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,900
You know how a circus survives?

390
00:34:01,990 --> 00:34:06,330
You said it yourself, kid.
On blood, sweat, pain and shit.

391
00:34:06,410 --> 00:34:08,780
When a circus begins to die
and animals eat garbage,

392
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,040
you know what men eat? Nothing.

393
00:34:11,130 --> 00:34:14,750
Your heart goes out to an animal suffering.
Well, that's noble, and that's good,

394
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,380
but all that tells me
is that you never saw men suffer.

395
00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:21,260
So before I get back from town,

396
00:34:21,350 --> 00:34:24,130
you do whatever it is they taught you
in that Ivy League sandbox

397
00:34:24,220 --> 00:34:27,220
to get that horse ready for the parade.

398
00:34:27,310 --> 00:34:29,850
As long as we can walk, we play.

399
00:34:45,290 --> 00:34:47,450
It's not an abscess, is it?

400
00:34:50,290 --> 00:34:51,910
He's going to founder.

401
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,540
It's okay, baby.

402
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,800
I should have taken him out of the show.

403
00:35:01,890 --> 00:35:05,090
It's not your fault. It happens.

404
00:35:05,180 --> 00:35:08,090
It's not uncommon,

405
00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:11,220
but he is suffering.

406
00:35:11,310 --> 00:35:13,050
And the pain is only gonna get worse.

407
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,850
The right thing to do
would be to put him down.

408
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,030
That's not going to happen, is it?

409
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:31,200
Not when August can get
a few more shows out of him.

410
00:35:32,210 --> 00:35:36,620
Around here, everybody works
till they're run into the ground.

411
00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:40,080
Nobody stops, nobody dies
until August says so.

412
00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:45,010
It's okay, baby.

413
00:36:30,770 --> 00:36:32,220
What about August?

414
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,180
I'm the vet. It's my decision.

415
00:36:35,270 --> 00:36:36,890
It'll be your last one.

416
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,430
Listen, you should go.

417
00:36:43,150 --> 00:36:46,440
No, I'll keep him calm.

418
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,610
Good boy.

419
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:55,450
Hush, little baby, don't say a word

420
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,290
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird

421
00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:27,650
Are you all right?

422
00:37:30,830 --> 00:37:32,530
I'll be all right.

423
00:37:43,340 --> 00:37:44,920
Mr. Jankowski.

424
00:37:48,340 --> 00:37:50,760
I'll be sorry to see you go.

425
00:38:15,540 --> 00:38:17,870
Roll over. Turn around.

426
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,540
Turn around. Good girl. Sit. Good girl.

427
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,790
Up! Up! Up, Queenie!

428
00:38:37,730 --> 00:38:41,190
This circus, my circus,
is a sovereign nation.

429
00:38:41,270 --> 00:38:44,510
You break my law,
you have to pay a penalty.

430
00:38:44,610 --> 00:38:46,820
I tell you to fix a horse, you shoot it?

431
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:49,650
That's breaking my law.
The penalty is red-lighting.

432
00:38:49,740 --> 00:38:52,860
You need to get off the train.
Except we don't stop the train.

433
00:38:52,950 --> 00:38:55,070
There's a chance you might survive,
although unlikely.

434
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,200
- Mr. Rosenbluth, just let me explain.
- No, no. No need!

435
00:38:59,290 --> 00:39:02,160
You took initiative. I respect that.

436
00:39:02,250 --> 00:39:04,740
But I'm a law-abiding man. Toss him.

437
00:39:05,590 --> 00:39:07,200
- Wait!
- On three.

438
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:08,960
No, wait! No, no, no!

439
00:39:09,550 --> 00:39:12,710
- One. Two.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

440
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,260
Three!

441
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:23,010
The only reason you're not a permanent
part of this landscape right now

442
00:39:23,110 --> 00:39:25,640
is because you probably saved
my Marlena from injury,

443
00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:28,270
and you solved a great problem for me.

444
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,600
You sawwhat we fed the cats.
It wasn't right, was it?

445
00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:34,110
But now because of you,

446
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,030
Silver Star will make sure
the cats will eat good fresh meat

447
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,610
until we can sell some tickets.

448
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:40,200
But you killed my star act,

449
00:39:40,290 --> 00:39:42,780
so if we don't sell the tickets
and the men aren't paid,

450
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,990
they're going to be looking
for someone to blame.

451
00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:48,170
Welcome to the circus, Cornell.

452
00:39:56,890 --> 00:39:59,800
We had to aanael shows
in three towns.

453
00:39:59,890 --> 00:40:04,890
The rumor was, four men got tossed
to save money. And we might go belly up.

454
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:06,970
Dead circuses were common in '31.

455
00:40:07,070 --> 00:40:09,180
Men tired of being mistreated
would mutiny,

456
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,190
or bosses would see the end coming
and pull a runner with all the money,

457
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,240
leaving a mess of animals and acts
like bones to be picked over.

458
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,780
Luckily, we found one in Goshen.

459
00:40:19,870 --> 00:40:22,740
And August could get any act for a song.

460
00:40:22,830 --> 00:40:26,750
The rest of them knew
they'd never work another show again.

461
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,170
When I saw their faces,
I thought to myself, August was right.

462
00:40:32,260 --> 00:40:34,500
I'd never seen men hungry.

463
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,510
Darling! One second, please.

464
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,090
Erwin, over here. Joe, pour the champagne.

465
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,510
I want you all to experience
the earthquake impact

466
00:40:47,610 --> 00:40:48,940
of what I'm about to show you.

467
00:40:49,030 --> 00:40:53,310
I've made an acquisition that will make
Benzini Brothers a top-drawer tour.

468
00:40:54,450 --> 00:40:56,310
- Darling.
- Yes.

469
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,940
I know I could never truly replace
Silver Star for you,

470
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,900
but I hope you'll give me a chance to try.

471
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,830
Oh, August, you didn't need to do that.

472
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Joe, the doors?

473
00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:10,130
Children, meet our salvation!

474
00:41:10,210 --> 00:41:15,460
We got ourselves a guaranteed
sell-out, crowd-cheering bull!

475
00:41:15,550 --> 00:41:19,010
Her name is Rosie,
she's 53, and she's brilliant.

476
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:20,840
What's that in her mouth?

477
00:41:20,930 --> 00:41:23,470
She ran off.
They found her eating a cemetery plot.

478
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,270
I'm going to come up with a whole new
star act around you and her.

479
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,520
Darling, I'm not getting up on that.
I've never ridden an elephant in my life!

480
00:41:31,610 --> 00:41:35,150
You didn't know how to stand on top
of a galloping horse until I showed you.

481
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:38,980
You're a fast learner.
This act will go through the roof!

482
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,490
Where the hell
are we gonna put it?

483
00:41:40,580 --> 00:41:43,660
- We'll make room.
- How are we gonna pay for it?

484
00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:47,990
I won't pay the men for a few weeks.
We've done it before.

485
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,160
Once we start selling out,

486
00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:52,920
the men will have more cash
than they know what to do with.

487
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:55,000
She's gonna pack them in. I know it!

488
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:01,710
You the bull man?

489
00:42:01,810 --> 00:42:03,300
He's my menagerie man.

490
00:42:03,390 --> 00:42:05,430
You ain't got no bull man,
I gotta tell the township,

491
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,760
or else I can't sell her to you.

492
00:42:08,100 --> 00:42:10,020
Well, I'm the bull man.

493
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:13,520
Well, speak up! I ain't got all day.

494
00:42:13,610 --> 00:42:14,940
You see this animal?

495
00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:19,570
This here is the stupidest goddamn
animal on the face of God's good earth.

496
00:42:19,660 --> 00:42:22,240
Here's your bull hook.
You're going to need it.

497
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,280
Good luck to you.

498
00:42:25,370 --> 00:42:29,610
If I don't ever see another dumb bull
in my life, it'll be too soon.

499
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,300
Cornell, give her a once-over.

500
00:42:41,390 --> 00:42:44,500
Darling, get acquainted.
You two are gonna make history.

501
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,970
Robinson? Come on.
Let's pick a car we can renovate.

502
00:42:53,570 --> 00:42:56,430
I think he's lost his mind.

503
00:42:56,530 --> 00:43:00,270
Do you have any idea
how hard it is to break in a new act?

504
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,900
My name is Jacob Jankowski.

505
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,740
- How do you do?
- And this is...

506
00:43:12,250 --> 00:43:13,990
Marlena Rosenbluth.

507
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,670
You're a beauty.

508
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,010
Your skin's a little dry.
Maybe you should take care of that.

509
00:43:21,090 --> 00:43:25,090
The first thing you notice
about a woman's age is her skin.

510
00:43:30,020 --> 00:43:33,560
Oh, great. Just what we need
around here, another lush.

511
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,430
Well, you're welcome.

512
00:43:41,780 --> 00:43:45,370
Is this the way elephants flirt?

513
00:43:45,450 --> 00:43:47,860
Would you two like to be alone?

514
00:43:59,470 --> 00:44:01,630
I think she likes music.

515
00:44:03,970 --> 00:44:06,180
It is a lovely song.

516
00:44:10,230 --> 00:44:11,840
I'm confessing that I love you.

517
00:44:12,270 --> 00:44:13,350
Hmm?

518
00:44:15,980 --> 00:44:18,560
Uh, it's the name of the song.

519
00:44:18,650 --> 00:44:20,860
Oh, right, of course.

520
00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:22,150
Louis Armstrong.

521
00:44:23,490 --> 00:44:27,730
Well, I guess now's as good a time
as any, right, bull man?

522
00:44:27,830 --> 00:44:31,120
Let's get up there!
It's sink or swim around here.

523
00:44:31,210 --> 00:44:33,740
Can you help me with this ladder?

524
00:44:36,090 --> 00:44:38,670
August once dropped me
in the middle of this monkey act.

525
00:44:38,750 --> 00:44:40,840
The meanest monkeys you've ever met.

526
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,830
They were biting me
during the entire performance,

527
00:44:42,930 --> 00:44:46,920
and I had to just smile
and act like it was part of the act.

528
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:49,010
Oh, gosh.

529
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:51,890
Good grief.

530
00:44:53,940 --> 00:44:58,310
Well, I think it's very important
to form an offstage relationship.

531
00:44:58,860 --> 00:45:02,020
How do I look? Silly, right?

532
00:45:02,110 --> 00:45:05,440
No. You two were made for each other.

533
00:45:09,450 --> 00:45:11,440
She really is beautiful.

534
00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:42,440
Come in!

535
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,580
Oh, Jacob.

536
00:45:57,670 --> 00:46:01,660
So glad you could come
and celebrate our new beautiful elephant.

537
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,380
Is something wrong?

538
00:46:05,470 --> 00:46:08,050
I feel a little underdressed.

539
00:46:08,140 --> 00:46:10,500
Nonsense. I told you,

540
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,590
nothing but the best
for our very own Cornell graduate vet.

541
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,020
Which, I might add, those Ringling bastards
do not have. I checked.

542
00:46:21,070 --> 00:46:22,050
Voila.

543
00:46:23,190 --> 00:46:27,480
I thought you could use some new threads
and a shave.

544
00:46:27,570 --> 00:46:31,280
Can't have my Ivy League vet
smelling like his patients.

545
00:46:32,660 --> 00:46:35,280
- Can you mess that up?
- Yes, of course.

546
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,450
Perfection.

547
00:46:39,540 --> 00:46:43,330
When I started with Benzini,
this show was nothing but grift.

548
00:46:43,420 --> 00:46:45,460
A man couldn't walk
a straight line through the midway

549
00:46:45,550 --> 00:46:47,760
without getting his pocket picked
half a dozen times.

550
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:53,460
Benzini was a cheap bastard.
He didn't invest a dime in new acts.

551
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,600
So when he pulled a runner,
everybody thought we were belly-up.

552
00:46:58,310 --> 00:47:00,600
Mmm-mmm. Not me.

553
00:47:00,690 --> 00:47:02,800
- And you were 19, right, darling?
- Uh-huh.

554
00:47:02,900 --> 00:47:06,560
And August got rid of all
the pickpockets and the grift barkers,

555
00:47:06,650 --> 00:47:09,490
and he sold off two deadbeat clowns
and a train car

556
00:47:09,570 --> 00:47:12,910
so he could buy Lucinda, our lovely fat lady.

557
00:47:12,990 --> 00:47:15,150
- And Rex.
- Rex.

558
00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:17,610
But you kept the coochie girls, didn't you?

559
00:47:17,710 --> 00:47:19,950
No denying they're good revenue.

560
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,910
- It's true.
- I needed money.

561
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,670
So I had to scavenge every dead circus
for every act we have.

562
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,460
But you didn't have to buy me, did you?

563
00:47:30,550 --> 00:47:31,790
No.

564
00:47:31,890 --> 00:47:34,630
- I had to marry you.
- That's right.

565
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:38,560
- Were you a performer?
- No.

566
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,600
August taught me everything I know.

567
00:47:40,690 --> 00:47:43,720
And he told me that one day
we'd be as big as Ringling Brothers.

568
00:47:43,810 --> 00:47:45,810
Yeah.

569
00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:48,940
Those damn brothers
had a stroke of genius.

570
00:47:49,030 --> 00:47:52,770
They sold families the idea they wanted
a show their mother and sisters could see.

571
00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:56,030
No sex, no grift. Safe for the kids.

572
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,860
And nobody can touch their bookings.

573
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,410
But we're on our way.

574
00:48:02,750 --> 00:48:07,670
Yeah, this bull?
This bull has got to be spectacular!

575
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,750
I take care of the spectacle. Now
I need someone to take care of the bull.

576
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,050
August wants you to be the bull man.

577
00:48:15,140 --> 00:48:17,880
You'll have full charge of training Rosie.
With a raise.

578
00:48:17,970 --> 00:48:20,460
Modest raise. You'll hardly notice it.

579
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,050
I don't know anything about elephants.

580
00:48:22,140 --> 00:48:24,560
I'm going to tell him the truth.

581
00:48:25,860 --> 00:48:30,770
Some outfit will be feeding off our carcass
if we don't bring in the people.

582
00:48:30,860 --> 00:48:37,030
And I mean crowds falling over their feet
to get inside our big top.

583
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,330
This bull has got to work, Jacob.
She's got to.

584
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,360
I need to tell you something.

585
00:48:45,290 --> 00:48:47,750
I'm not sure you'll trust me
after you hear it.

586
00:48:52,170 --> 00:48:54,380
I never finished Cornell.

587
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:56,630
I'm not a real vet.

588
00:48:57,050 --> 00:49:00,390
I didn't get my degree. I'm not licensed.

589
00:49:07,020 --> 00:49:08,510
Jacob,

590
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,390
do you think Lucinda the Fat Lady
weighs 800 pounds?

591
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,270
She's 400 at the tops.

592
00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:20,830
Do you think the Tattooed Woman
was tattooed by headhunters in Borneo?

593
00:49:20,910 --> 00:49:22,820
She's from Pittsburgh!

594
00:49:22,910 --> 00:49:27,280
It took her nine years to ink herself.
Tell him about the hippo, darling.

595
00:49:27,380 --> 00:49:30,990
When she died, we swapped out her water
for formaldehyde, kept showing her.

596
00:49:31,090 --> 00:49:34,000
For two weeks
we traveled with a pickled hippo!

597
00:49:34,090 --> 00:49:37,800
Jacob, the world's run on tricks.

598
00:49:38,140 --> 00:49:40,300
Everyone plays.

599
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,930
But it's having a true talent,
a gift born within,

600
00:49:46,020 --> 00:49:50,510
something no degree can give you...
You have such a talent.

601
00:49:50,610 --> 00:49:53,900
You knew with one look about Silver Star.

602
00:49:54,490 --> 00:49:57,150
You must learn, my dear boy,

603
00:49:57,240 --> 00:50:02,780
that the rules of these United States
of Suckers do not apply to us.

604
00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:06,450
To talent and illusion!

605
00:50:09,750 --> 00:50:11,120
To Rosie.

606
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,830
- To Rosie.
- To all we love.

607
00:50:16,550 --> 00:50:21,840
Tired of bein' lonely

608
00:50:21,930 --> 00:50:26,640
Tired of bein' blue

609
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:33,770
I wished I had some good man

610
00:50:34,780 --> 00:50:39,270
To tell my troubles to

611
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:45,780
I need a little sugar in my bowl

612
00:50:45,870 --> 00:50:49,410
Darling. Be gentle, darling.
We have a guest.

613
00:50:56,010 --> 00:50:58,750
August. August.

614
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,300
August. You don't know
your own strength, darling.

615
00:51:03,970 --> 00:51:05,590
I'm right here.

616
00:51:07,020 --> 00:51:08,680
I'm right here.

617
00:51:11,310 --> 00:51:13,850
Come on, let's get you to bed.

618
00:51:15,070 --> 00:51:16,480
Come on.

619
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:18,900
Come here.

620
00:51:19,700 --> 00:51:21,310
Excuse us, Jacob.

621
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,450
Move your finger

622
00:51:27,540 --> 00:51:31,330
Drop something in my bowl

623
00:51:31,420 --> 00:51:37,500
I need a little steam-heat on my floor

624
00:51:37,590 --> 00:51:43,760
Maybe I can fix things up,
so they'll go

625
00:51:43,850 --> 00:51:45,260
Get off your knees

626
00:51:45,350 --> 00:51:48,090
I can't see what you're drivin' at!

627
00:51:48,180 --> 00:51:49,300
It's dark down there!

628
00:51:49,390 --> 00:51:50,630
Looks like a snake

629
00:51:50,730 --> 00:51:54,440
Come on here and drop somethin' here
in my bowl

630
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,510
Stop your foolin'

631
00:51:56,610 --> 00:52:00,770
And drop somethin' in my bowl

632
00:52:00,860 --> 00:52:02,650
Is everything all right?

633
00:52:02,740 --> 00:52:05,950
Yes. He's just had too much to drink.

634
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,900
Bessie Smith. Wish I could sing like that.

635
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,160
Should I leave?

636
00:52:12,250 --> 00:52:14,330
No, I want to dance.

637
00:52:16,590 --> 00:52:19,800
Come on, just dance with me one time,
and I'll let you go home.

638
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,370
Come on.

639
00:52:43,530 --> 00:52:45,740
I hope you had fun tonight.

640
00:52:47,410 --> 00:52:49,400
August really likes you.

641
00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:52,820
He could use a friend.

642
00:52:54,790 --> 00:52:56,370
We both could.

643
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,550
It's a pretty song.

644
00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:13,340
Don't tell him what happened.

645
00:53:14,770 --> 00:53:18,430
No, no. I would never do that.

646
00:53:20,730 --> 00:53:24,730
That's the name of the song.
Don't Tell Him What Happened to Me.

647
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,150
- The song?
- Yes.

648
00:53:45,010 --> 00:53:46,460
Jacob.

649
00:53:48,180 --> 00:53:49,790
You should go.

650
00:53:52,810 --> 00:53:54,760
I think you should go.

651
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:00,970
All right.

652
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,730
Good night.

653
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,590
Brava, Queenie! Brava!

654
00:54:36,390 --> 00:54:42,060
This is my new friend
and roommate, Jacob!

655
00:54:45,490 --> 00:54:49,150
I'd like you all to make him feel at home.

656
00:54:52,530 --> 00:54:55,400
I'd love to make you feel at home.

657
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:38,280
Oh, yeah! Come on.

658
00:55:38,370 --> 00:55:40,410
Nice legs, sister!

659
00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:42,790
Hello, beautiful!

660
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,370
What the hell did I do last night?

661
00:55:47,460 --> 00:55:49,500
You threw up on Barbara.

662
00:55:52,930 --> 00:55:54,760
Your balls itchy?

663
00:55:56,770 --> 00:55:58,300
Yeah, they are.

664
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,720
Thank you for doing that.

665
00:56:01,810 --> 00:56:04,930
It'll grow back. In patches.

666
00:56:06,230 --> 00:56:08,320
What's wrong with Queenie?

667
00:56:09,570 --> 00:56:10,560
What do you mean, wrong?

668
00:56:10,650 --> 00:56:13,520
I mean, she's not hating me.
Something's wrong.

669
00:56:13,620 --> 00:56:14,980
She must've eaten something.

670
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,740
Try getting some honey
from the cookhouse,

671
00:56:16,830 --> 00:56:18,690
and if you can, some slippery elm powder.

672
00:56:18,790 --> 00:56:20,870
And if that doesn't work,

673
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,450
we can check herfor parasites tomorrow
if you want.

674
00:56:29,630 --> 00:56:30,960
My real name's Walter, by the way.

675
00:56:39,220 --> 00:56:40,710
Good morning.

676
00:56:41,980 --> 00:56:44,010
I forgot how big you were.

677
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,190
All right, you want to get to work? Huh?

678
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:52,730
Okay.

679
00:56:58,990 --> 00:57:01,360
All right, you have to
take it easy with me today.

680
00:57:01,460 --> 00:57:03,660
I'm not in the best form.

681
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,660
You feel like walking?

682
00:57:06,750 --> 00:57:08,740
Wild party, I hear.

683
00:57:11,010 --> 00:57:13,210
I've forgotten most of it.

684
00:57:14,340 --> 00:57:17,840
Seems like the rest
of these guys haven't, though.

685
00:57:20,180 --> 00:57:22,050
About last night, I...

686
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,800
It was just the champagne.

687
00:57:25,900 --> 00:57:26,930
What was?

688
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,640
You're new at this, aren't you?

689
00:57:30,730 --> 00:57:31,940
When a woman gives it to you straight,

690
00:57:32,030 --> 00:57:35,140
don't give her a line
like you don't remember.

691
00:57:36,870 --> 00:57:38,610
All right.

692
00:57:38,700 --> 00:57:41,690
I meant what I said about us being friends.

693
00:57:47,670 --> 00:57:50,460
Where are you going?

694
00:57:51,550 --> 00:57:53,580
Good morning, children.

695
00:57:53,670 --> 00:57:55,590
- Morning, darling.
- Where were you?

696
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,670
I woke up early to train with the girls.

697
00:57:59,510 --> 00:58:02,760
Clearly your charms are very effective
on a lovesick pachyderm.

698
00:58:02,850 --> 00:58:05,680
Too bad they were less successful
with Barbara.

699
00:58:05,770 --> 00:58:07,260
Barbara? I didn't...

700
00:58:07,350 --> 00:58:11,770
Word has it you didn't,
though you gave it the old Cornell try.

701
00:58:11,860 --> 00:58:14,980
- Can we get on with this, please?
- Yes, of course. Now, Cornell,

702
00:58:15,070 --> 00:58:19,910
when it comes to working with a bull,
charm's the last thing required.

703
00:58:20,910 --> 00:58:24,820
You know, any living creature needs
to know who's in charge.

704
00:58:24,910 --> 00:58:29,780
They can sense when a man's power is,
shall we say, in full strength,

705
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,790
and when a man's power is, shall we say,
not.

706
00:58:34,380 --> 00:58:39,550
First of all, can't do anything with a bull
without a bull hook, can you?

707
00:58:48,770 --> 00:58:53,480
And with it, you must claim
the role of master immediately.

708
00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:56,600
Okay.

709
00:58:56,700 --> 00:58:59,780
You use it there, right above her shoulder.

710
00:59:05,790 --> 00:59:08,780
And you use your full voice to command.

711
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,420
Rosie,

712
00:59:15,380 --> 00:59:16,710
walk!

713
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,960
- Rosie, move, walk!
- Now jab her!

714
00:59:20,050 --> 00:59:22,340
She needs to know you mean it.

715
00:59:31,350 --> 00:59:32,560
Rosie, walk.

716
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,480
Rosie, walk, come on.

717
00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:40,110
Rosie, walk!

718
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,190
Watch me. Back off.

719
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:46,570
Up.

720
00:59:47,700 --> 00:59:49,160
Up.

721
00:59:50,420 --> 00:59:51,830
Forward!

722
00:59:53,170 --> 00:59:55,250
Forward! Move!

723
00:59:58,050 --> 00:59:59,500
Up!

724
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,340
Up! Move!

725
01:00:03,470 --> 01:00:05,260
Up! Move!

726
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:08,220
Up!

727
01:00:09,180 --> 01:00:12,140
Up! Move!

728
01:02:23,690 --> 01:02:28,610
Ladies and gentlemen,
and children of all ages,

729
01:02:28,700 --> 01:02:32,530
welcome to the most
extravagant extravaganza

730
01:02:32,620 --> 01:02:34,950
the human eye can behold!

731
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:36,700
Welcome the stars

732
01:02:36,790 --> 01:02:41,280
of the Benzini Brothers
Most Spectacular Show on Earth!

733
01:03:33,310 --> 01:03:34,640
Move up! Up!

734
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,440
Up! Move!

735
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:41,700
In the big top! Come on!

736
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,160
- You all right?
- Yeah. I just landed funny on my heel.

737
01:04:48,250 --> 01:04:50,540
Get that damn bull
before we're driven out of town.

738
01:04:50,630 --> 01:04:52,750
Don't forget the bull hook.

739
01:04:53,970 --> 01:04:57,380
Jacob? Some of the boys saw her
heading for town.

740
01:04:57,470 --> 01:04:59,760
I'll help you, kid. Come on.

741
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,520
Excuse me, sir. Excuse me.

742
01:05:08,610 --> 01:05:10,390
Excuse me, ma'am.

743
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:12,820
Excuse me, ma'am.

744
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,190
This yours?

745
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,070
Yeah, we'll take care of it, Officer.
Don't you worry. Thank you.

746
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,150
My cabbage!
You pay for those, eh?

747
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:20,230
I'm sorry, sir.

748
01:05:20,330 --> 01:05:21,490
I'll get out of here in two minutes.

749
01:05:21,580 --> 01:05:23,540
Oh, they just love booze.

750
01:05:24,830 --> 01:05:28,250
One whiff of this, and she ain't thinking
about corn anymore!

751
01:05:28,340 --> 01:05:30,370
Did you see that?

752
01:05:30,460 --> 01:05:35,050
Got this from Wade and Grady.
Bastards been holding out on me.

753
01:05:35,140 --> 01:05:38,380
- Hey, mister! To pay?
- I will. I will!

754
01:05:38,470 --> 01:05:41,680
Kills me,
wasting it on a goddamn pachyderm.

755
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,930
Oh! This damn leg of mine.

756
01:05:47,860 --> 01:05:49,940
Is she following?

757
01:05:50,020 --> 01:05:52,140
- Yeah, she's following.
- Uh-huh. Good.

758
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:55,360
Evening.

759
01:05:57,950 --> 01:06:01,780
- You okay?
- I'm fine. I have a sore wrist.

760
01:06:01,870 --> 01:06:04,200
A bruised heel. I'll be fine.

761
01:06:05,710 --> 01:06:07,660
But I think August could use a drink.

762
01:06:07,750 --> 01:06:11,960
Maybe you should take him out, Jacob.
Get him to relax a bit.

763
01:06:12,050 --> 01:06:14,210
Did you catch that bull?

764
01:06:15,380 --> 01:06:19,630
Yeah, I got her back in her car eventually.

765
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:20,760
Good.

766
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,100
August?

767
01:06:26,190 --> 01:06:27,600
August!

768
01:06:28,730 --> 01:06:30,850
August! Don't!

769
01:06:30,940 --> 01:06:33,810
- August! August!
- Stop!

770
01:06:33,900 --> 01:06:36,890
August! She was good! She was good.
She came back on her own.

771
01:06:36,990 --> 01:06:40,900
She just needs more time.
She wasn't ready yet. Hey!

772
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,090
Stop it!

773
01:07:03,180 --> 01:07:05,590
Stay down, kid. I mean it!

774
01:08:12,420 --> 01:08:14,870
We need to get a lot of whiskey.

775
01:08:19,630 --> 01:08:21,250
I don't understand why a man like that

776
01:08:21,340 --> 01:08:23,920
wants to be around animals
in the first place.

777
01:08:24,010 --> 01:08:26,970
He shouldn't have the right if you ask me.

778
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:52,530
Marlena!

779
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,830
Did Marlena send you?

780
01:09:00,010 --> 01:09:01,210
No.

781
01:09:02,630 --> 01:09:04,800
She doesn't want to see me.

782
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,540
She won't talk to me.

783
01:09:10,480 --> 01:09:12,930
She won't forgive me this time.

784
01:09:14,060 --> 01:09:16,270
Maybe you can talk to her.

785
01:09:20,150 --> 01:09:23,310
I know there is no excuse for what I did.

786
01:09:24,450 --> 01:09:27,310
- Is she all right, Rosie?
- She could use some whiskey.

787
01:09:27,410 --> 01:09:30,400
Yeah, yeah. Here, take all I've got.

788
01:09:37,170 --> 01:09:38,830
Take it.

789
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:40,880
Will you tell her? Marlena?

790
01:09:42,670 --> 01:09:43,790
Tell her what?

791
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:48,970
I saw the bull rear up and run away
with her, and I lost my mind.

792
01:09:49,060 --> 01:09:51,420
That's no excuse. I know that.

793
01:09:59,070 --> 01:10:01,900
I've spent all that money on that bull.

794
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:07,820
I need to pay the workmen.
I have debts to pay.

795
01:10:07,910 --> 01:10:10,520
I need to sell tickets.

796
01:10:12,330 --> 01:10:14,440
And that bull is useless.

797
01:10:14,540 --> 01:10:17,870
If I lose Marlena, you understand,
I'll lose all of this.

798
01:10:30,180 --> 01:10:33,470
What were you planning on doing
with that bull hook?

799
01:10:36,480 --> 01:10:37,640
Jacob?

800
01:10:55,710 --> 01:10:58,660
Are you sure that's not too much?
She might get drunk.

801
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,780
She weighs four tons. She just gets sleepy.

802
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:03,830
She can barely move as it is.

803
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:05,500
She'll be fine.

804
01:11:10,970 --> 01:11:13,430
I don't know what to do, Camel.

805
01:11:13,510 --> 01:11:14,720
He'll kill her next time.

806
01:11:14,810 --> 01:11:18,140
There's nothing you can do.
A man like that.

807
01:11:18,230 --> 01:11:21,390
He throws men off a moving train
so he don't have to pay.

808
01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:26,070
You think he thinks twice about
killing one of God's innocent creatures?

809
01:11:29,570 --> 01:11:32,110
- Can you pass me the other rag?
- Mmm?

810
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,280
- It's under your foot.
- Oh...

811
01:11:34,370 --> 01:11:36,700
Lift your leg. Lift your leg.

812
01:11:49,930 --> 01:11:53,760
I want you to read these out loud to Rosie.

813
01:12:09,860 --> 01:12:12,230
Might help if he said "please."

814
01:12:13,700 --> 01:12:15,110
Say...

815
01:12:18,620 --> 01:12:21,410
- What does that mean?
- Just try it.

816
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:32,540
Now the next one.

817
01:13:07,300 --> 01:13:11,130
The only really authentic miracle
is success.

818
01:13:12,590 --> 01:13:14,750
Washes away all sins.

819
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,630
Don't you think? Just the thought of it
makes all things right.

820
01:13:21,100 --> 01:13:24,310
Anyway, to Rosie,

821
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:28,230
our big, fat, beautiful

822
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,810
bull's-eye of a star attraction.

823
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,940
- I need to get some more champagne.
- Let me get it.

824
01:13:38,030 --> 01:13:39,870
No. Sit! My party.

825
01:13:49,300 --> 01:13:51,750
It's good seeing him like this.

826
01:13:52,670 --> 01:13:54,880
Looks like it's gonna be
standing room only from now on.

827
01:13:54,970 --> 01:13:58,710
You know how many star acts
we've had that packed them in?

828
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,800
How much money we've made and lost,
and made and lost?

829
01:14:05,690 --> 01:14:10,060
Silver Star paid for our new stateroom,
and look what happened to him.

830
01:14:12,150 --> 01:14:13,390
Why do you stay with him?

831
01:14:15,700 --> 01:14:17,650
I was born a passenger.

832
01:14:19,030 --> 01:14:22,620
They found me wrapped in a newspaper
under a seat on the Baltimore and Ohio.

833
01:14:22,700 --> 01:14:25,070
I was just three days old.

834
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,120
I grew up in foster homes.

835
01:14:27,210 --> 01:14:29,920
I'd always daydream
about who my parents were.

836
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,460
When I was five, for an entire year,

837
01:14:32,550 --> 01:14:34,960
I pretended my mom
was an Appaloosa mare.

838
01:14:35,050 --> 01:14:36,460
I did.

839
01:14:37,010 --> 01:14:40,380
And that I was a filly,

840
01:14:40,470 --> 01:14:43,680
and that I was just dreaming
that I was a girl.

841
01:14:44,390 --> 01:14:47,930
And that one day I'd wake up,
and I'd run home.

842
01:14:50,020 --> 01:14:52,100
One thing was for sure,
I was a lot safer in those stables

843
01:14:52,190 --> 01:14:54,560
than I ever was in those homes.

844
01:14:55,700 --> 01:14:59,310
And then the circus came to town.

845
01:14:59,410 --> 01:15:03,400
And there they were,
these six gorgeous black Friesians

846
01:15:03,490 --> 01:15:06,330
with red tassels
hanging down their manes.

847
01:15:06,410 --> 01:15:08,700
So beautiful.

848
01:15:08,790 --> 01:15:10,950
And August was right out front.

849
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:16,040
And as soon as he looked at me,
I knew I'd never live with strangers again.

850
01:15:19,050 --> 01:15:21,340
So we got married.

851
01:15:21,430 --> 01:15:23,290
And where did I end up?

852
01:15:23,390 --> 01:15:26,680
Living on a train.
It's the only real home I've ever known.

853
01:15:30,100 --> 01:15:34,100
And you know, I'm a star attraction.

854
01:15:38,070 --> 01:15:40,150
Out there,

855
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,200
I got nothing just like everybody else.

856
01:15:46,250 --> 01:15:50,160
You're a beautiful woman.
You deserve a beautiful life.

857
01:15:50,250 --> 01:15:51,990
That's all there is to it.

858
01:15:55,500 --> 01:15:58,840
Where were you when I was 17, huh?

859
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:05,880
Let's dance.

860
01:16:56,730 --> 01:16:59,270
This is a raid!

861
01:17:03,450 --> 01:17:04,610
Raid!

862
01:17:05,950 --> 01:17:08,280
Marlena! Marlena!

863
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:15,280
Jacob!

864
01:17:15,380 --> 01:17:17,210
Hey! Hold it right there!

865
01:17:21,090 --> 01:17:22,750
This way!

866
01:17:29,140 --> 01:17:31,720
- You all right?
- That was really close.

867
01:17:31,810 --> 01:17:34,100
I ripped my stockings.

868
01:17:34,190 --> 01:17:36,350
They were silk, too.

869
01:17:36,440 --> 01:17:37,970
Who cares?

870
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,560
I don't know how we're going to find
our way back,

871
01:17:41,650 --> 01:17:44,190
especially if we don't find August.

872
01:17:47,070 --> 01:17:50,070
We should probably go look for him, right?

873
01:18:23,940 --> 01:18:25,730
Don't follow me.

874
01:18:45,550 --> 01:18:48,340
I told myself, let her go.

875
01:18:48,430 --> 01:18:51,130
She'll tell August
that I got lost in the crowd.

876
01:18:51,220 --> 01:18:52,630
It's the best thing for her.

877
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,210
It's the best thing for everybody.

878
01:18:55,310 --> 01:18:56,720
I just couldn't do it.

879
01:18:56,810 --> 01:18:58,720
Rosie...

880
01:18:58,810 --> 01:19:02,230
I convinced myself
I had to stay to protect Rosie.

881
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:05,400
To protect Marlena.
Because August couldn't be trusted.

882
01:19:10,820 --> 01:19:13,240
When the truth was

883
01:19:13,330 --> 01:19:16,320
maybe I was the man
who couldn't be trusted.

884
01:19:17,290 --> 01:19:19,660
Hey. Hey.

885
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,040
Something's wrong with Camel. Come on.

886
01:19:29,050 --> 01:19:32,920
Hey, kid. How nice to see you.

887
01:19:33,010 --> 01:19:34,470
Hey, Camel.

888
01:19:36,770 --> 01:19:39,130
- What's wrong?
- I don't know.

889
01:19:39,230 --> 01:19:43,220
I woke up this morning,
and my feet was all floppy.

890
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:45,730
I just can't feel them right.

891
01:19:47,110 --> 01:19:51,780
And it's not just that, though.
There's other stuff, too.

892
01:19:51,870 --> 01:19:56,610
- Like down there? Man stuff?
- Yeah.

893
01:19:56,700 --> 01:19:57,860
What's wrong with him, Doc?

894
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,870
It's jake leg. I've seen it before.

895
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,170
No such thing, is there, Doc?

896
01:20:04,420 --> 01:20:06,880
Manufacturer started putting
this plasticizer in this

897
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:08,500
to get around regulations that

898
01:20:08,590 --> 01:20:11,920
Jamaican ginger extract
not be sold as booze.

899
01:20:12,010 --> 01:20:14,130
You're not supposed to drink this stuff,
you know?

900
01:20:14,220 --> 01:20:17,880
What the hell am I supposed to drink
to stop the shakes?

901
01:20:18,390 --> 01:20:20,380
It's Prohibition.

902
01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:22,310
I ain't no Astor.

903
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:26,010
It's okay, Camel. Tomorrow's payday.
We'll get you some moonshine.

904
01:20:26,110 --> 01:20:28,270
Don't lie to the man.
If we were getting paid,

905
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,480
Blackie wouldn't have red-lighted
nine men.

906
01:20:30,570 --> 01:20:32,560
That can't be true.

907
01:20:32,660 --> 01:20:36,070
Nine men disappear
between Goshen and Weehawken?

908
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,400
And we didn't make no stops.

909
01:20:41,830 --> 01:20:43,660
Is he gonna get better?

910
01:20:43,750 --> 01:20:46,620
Earl or Blackie
see Camel like this, it's over.

911
01:20:46,710 --> 01:20:49,200
We need to get him out of sight, Jacob.

912
01:20:53,180 --> 01:20:54,590
All right.

913
01:21:04,270 --> 01:21:08,010
Jacob, in a week, he's not gonna be able
to move his legs at all.

914
01:21:08,110 --> 01:21:12,270
Listen. He told me he has a son in Reading.

915
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:17,320
We play there in three weeks.
Three weeks. That's all he needs.

916
01:21:17,410 --> 01:21:20,030
Blackie and his men
don't patrol performer cars.

917
01:21:32,170 --> 01:21:34,630
- Good morning.
- Hey.

918
01:21:36,140 --> 01:21:39,090
- Do you mind if I sit?
- Not at all.

919
01:21:47,940 --> 01:21:50,680
Can we speak privately later?

920
01:21:50,780 --> 01:21:53,770
Why? Is something the matter?

921
01:21:53,860 --> 01:21:56,900
Ljust wanted to apologize
about what happened last night.

922
01:21:56,990 --> 01:22:00,400
That's silly, Jacob.
Why would you apologize?

923
01:22:00,490 --> 01:22:02,410
You weren't even there.

924
01:22:03,710 --> 01:22:07,240
I explained to August what happened
as best I could remember it.

925
01:22:07,330 --> 01:22:10,450
Champagne just overwhelms my senses.

926
01:22:10,550 --> 01:22:13,660
I remember there was a crowd,
and people were pushing.

927
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:18,420
And I was running,
and I fell and tore my stockings.

928
01:22:18,510 --> 01:22:19,630
Morning, children!

929
01:22:21,350 --> 01:22:24,340
That was quite an adventure
we had last night.

930
01:22:25,810 --> 01:22:28,050
Thanks, Pauley.

931
01:22:28,150 --> 01:22:32,440
Glad I didn't have to bail you
out of jail. How'd you get home?

932
01:22:32,530 --> 01:22:36,020
- I took the ferry.
- Brilliant and cheap.

933
01:22:36,110 --> 01:22:37,570
Good man.

934
01:22:37,660 --> 01:22:40,520
I slept like a baby after last night.

935
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,450
- Thank you, my darling!
- August, please, we're in public.

936
01:22:47,540 --> 01:22:49,120
What? Nothing to be ashamed of.

937
01:22:49,210 --> 01:22:51,670
Man and wife reuniting
in their marriage bed?

938
01:22:51,750 --> 01:22:53,490
It's a sacred act.

939
01:22:54,550 --> 01:22:57,260
My Marlena has forgiven me.

940
01:22:57,340 --> 01:22:59,750
All's well with the world again.

941
01:23:11,860 --> 01:23:14,020
Now, in a circle.

942
01:23:23,700 --> 01:23:25,360
Beautiful, Jacob.

943
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,250
You know, I was really worried
about you two last night.

944
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,580
If anything had happened to Marlena,

945
01:23:38,380 --> 01:23:42,550
if anyone had harmed her
or as much as touched her,

946
01:23:45,060 --> 01:23:46,840
I hate to think of it.

947
01:23:47,980 --> 01:23:50,090
Now let's bring her back in.

948
01:23:57,990 --> 01:24:01,900
If August knew anything
about that night, you'd neve rknow it.

949
01:24:01,990 --> 01:24:04,700
All he seemed to care about was Rosie,

950
01:24:04,790 --> 01:24:08,030
and God love her,
she played her part to a T.

951
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,110
We all did.

952
01:24:10,210 --> 01:24:15,370
Everything went back to how it was before.
At least, that's how it looked.

953
01:24:15,460 --> 01:24:19,920
But nothing was the same.
August was right again.

954
01:24:20,010 --> 01:24:21,960
Everything is an illusion.

955
01:24:27,140 --> 01:24:28,850
Come on!

956
01:26:23,090 --> 01:26:25,080
With straw house sell-outs,

957
01:26:25,180 --> 01:26:28,420
August promised the men
he'd finally pay them with increases,

958
01:26:28,550 --> 01:26:30,840
once his debts were covered.

959
01:26:30,930 --> 01:26:34,260
Success had made a new man
out of August, they all said.

960
01:26:34,350 --> 01:26:38,340
But I watched him,
and I knew it was just a matter of time.

961
01:26:43,780 --> 01:26:45,610
Shh! Children.

962
01:26:48,070 --> 01:26:52,990
The circus is nothing without its traditions.
It's a family.

963
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:56,120
And like any family,
when a new member is born,

964
01:26:56,210 --> 01:27:00,700
its arrival has to be greeted
with celebration and with gratitude.

965
01:27:00,790 --> 01:27:02,830
Now I know we've all been
kind of busy lately

966
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,790
with sold-out performances.
Thank the gods!

967
01:27:08,510 --> 01:27:09,590
Shh!

968
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,590
But right now, I want to take
this moment before today's show

969
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:16,800
to gather together.

970
01:27:16,890 --> 01:27:18,720
We close our eyes

971
01:27:21,730 --> 01:27:22,970
and we thank

972
01:27:23,070 --> 01:27:27,110
whoever's up there that sends
desperate men running for the rails.

973
01:27:29,070 --> 01:27:35,160
Because it was a lucky day
when Jacob Jankow skijumped our train.

974
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:41,040
It is because of his discovery
that we have the greatest star attraction

975
01:27:41,130 --> 01:27:44,490
in the Benzini Brothers' history!

976
01:27:48,010 --> 01:27:51,380
Shh! And so,

977
01:27:51,470 --> 01:27:55,930
to officially welcome him into our family,

978
01:27:56,020 --> 01:27:57,880
we open our eyes,

979
01:27:57,980 --> 01:28:02,310
and we give him the traditional
Benzini Brothers baptism!

980
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:29,710
Congratulations, Jacob.

981
01:28:35,220 --> 01:28:36,960
Will you bring Rosie
to my tent after this?

982
01:28:37,060 --> 01:28:39,220
And don't tell anyone, okay?

983
01:28:55,370 --> 01:28:57,450
Where do you want her?

984
01:28:58,370 --> 01:29:01,660
Oh, if you could stake her right there,
that would be great.

985
01:29:01,750 --> 01:29:04,240
I'm planning a little surprise for August.

986
01:29:04,330 --> 01:29:06,920
I've never seen the company
so happy before.

987
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:10,840
Maybe we will give Ringling Brothers
a run for their money.

988
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,170
Do you need anything else?

989
01:29:14,260 --> 01:29:15,920
No, thank you.

990
01:29:18,890 --> 01:29:19,930
Um, actually...

991
01:29:22,020 --> 01:29:24,350
- Thank you.
- Sorry.

992
01:29:26,940 --> 01:29:28,650
So, what's this?

993
01:29:28,730 --> 01:29:32,020
Oh, this is for you. Surprise!
Congratulations, darling.

994
01:29:32,110 --> 01:29:34,480
Thank you, my darling.

995
01:29:34,570 --> 01:29:36,280
Jacob, where are you going?

996
01:29:37,030 --> 01:29:38,150
It's your thing.

997
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,150
No, please join us. Come.

998
01:29:41,620 --> 01:29:44,740
- Marlena.
- Of course.

999
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:03,340
To August, a genuine miracle man
for making a star attraction out of me.

1000
01:30:04,390 --> 01:30:05,850
Many thanks.

1001
01:30:07,770 --> 01:30:09,010
Many thanks to both of you.

1002
01:30:12,900 --> 01:30:16,270
And forgive me for arriving too soon
and spoiling the surprise.

1003
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:18,320
I could go back out.

1004
01:30:18,410 --> 01:30:20,020
Give you more time.

1005
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:24,860
Or better yet, I could yell "Raid!"
And clear the place out.

1006
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,160
In fact, it gave me an idea for the show.

1007
01:30:27,250 --> 01:30:28,660
A new act.

1008
01:30:29,670 --> 01:30:31,500
This is the story.

1009
01:30:32,420 --> 01:30:35,660
A first dance. Two characters.

1010
01:30:36,260 --> 01:30:40,920
A young awkward man, hopelessly in love
with a woman beyond his reach,

1011
01:30:41,010 --> 01:30:43,180
who teases his affections.

1012
01:30:44,310 --> 01:30:45,340
Hmm?

1013
01:30:45,940 --> 01:30:52,060
We start with a romantic melody
that sweeps them onto the dance floor.

1014
01:30:52,150 --> 01:30:54,980
He wraps his arms around her.

1015
01:30:55,530 --> 01:30:58,270
He wraps his arms around her.

1016
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:03,650
Come on. Please, indulge me. I'm inspired.

1017
01:31:04,700 --> 01:31:06,410
The audience will love it!

1018
01:31:07,830 --> 01:31:09,240
Yes.

1019
01:31:11,710 --> 01:31:15,880
Now, they look into each other's eyes.

1020
01:31:17,010 --> 01:31:18,170
- August...
- Look at him!

1021
01:31:23,310 --> 01:31:25,090
She touches his cheek.

1022
01:31:27,310 --> 01:31:30,640
And gently runs her hand down his neck,

1023
01:31:30,730 --> 01:31:33,520
playing with his hair.

1024
01:31:37,150 --> 01:31:41,770
Never leaving his eyes.
Never leaving his eyes.

1025
01:31:42,580 --> 01:31:45,410
Making him believe she's his.

1026
01:31:46,500 --> 01:31:48,860
He slides his hand lower

1027
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,870
and lower, below her waist.

1028
01:31:57,340 --> 01:32:00,800
But she slaps his wrist

1029
01:32:00,890 --> 01:32:04,720
as if to protect her honor
against this rude Lothario.

1030
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:09,760
That's it!

1031
01:32:09,850 --> 01:32:12,140
The audience will eat it up.
They love the illusion.

1032
01:32:12,230 --> 01:32:14,520
They'll never guess
you have no honor to protect.

1033
01:32:14,610 --> 01:32:17,440
August. Please.

1034
01:32:18,530 --> 01:32:21,690
It's funny how things pan out.

1035
01:32:21,780 --> 01:32:24,940
I've always known
the kind of woman you really are.

1036
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,650
Sitting in front of your dress shop,

1037
01:32:27,750 --> 01:32:29,910
watching the parade.

1038
01:32:30,790 --> 01:32:33,830
Those little-girl-lost eyes.

1039
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:38,410
This beautiful, almost translucent skin.
Well, translucent to me.

1040
01:32:38,510 --> 01:32:41,670
I could always see straight through you.

1041
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:45,250
I'm sorry to say that you're really
a very common type, darling.

1042
01:32:45,350 --> 01:32:47,090
Marlena, we should go.

1043
01:32:47,180 --> 01:32:48,920
Is that the plan?

1044
01:32:50,270 --> 01:32:52,430
- You're leaving me for him?
- No.

1045
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,060
- You must be special. No?
- August, please.

1046
01:32:55,150 --> 01:32:58,440
If he doesn't mean anything to you,
tell me to fire him.

1047
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:01,230
Fire him.

1048
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:02,940
Tell me to unleash Blackie and his men

1049
01:33:03,030 --> 01:33:04,900
to teach him a lesson
not to touch my things.

1050
01:33:04,990 --> 01:33:07,530
Marlena. Marlena, it's all right.

1051
01:33:08,500 --> 01:33:09,990
Jacob, just go.

1052
01:33:10,830 --> 01:33:14,870
Ooh. Dissention in the ranks!

1053
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:17,790
Betrayal trumps lust!

1054
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,000
That's what sells tickets, kids!

1055
01:33:20,090 --> 01:33:23,250
August, look at me. Look.

1056
01:33:23,970 --> 01:33:26,960
I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here.

1057
01:33:29,270 --> 01:33:31,800
- Do you want to leave me?
- No.

1058
01:33:32,770 --> 01:33:35,980
But I'm your wife.
I'm not one of your things.

1059
01:33:36,060 --> 01:33:37,520
Prove it.

1060
01:33:41,110 --> 01:33:43,020
Look at me!

1061
01:33:43,110 --> 01:33:46,780
Nothing is going on. Nothing.
Do you hear me?

1062
01:33:46,870 --> 01:33:48,700
I'll never leave you.

1063
01:34:02,550 --> 01:34:06,460
Of course, an innocent woman
wouldn't have to get on her knees.

1064
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:10,470
But you can't help it, can you?

1065
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:13,800
Just force of habit for a woman like you.

1066
01:34:44,300 --> 01:34:46,010
Boss!

1067
01:34:46,090 --> 01:34:47,500
The rubes.

1068
01:34:54,270 --> 01:34:56,350
Walk away now,

1069
01:34:56,440 --> 01:34:59,850
or this will get a lot worse a lot faster!

1070
01:34:59,940 --> 01:35:02,270
I got him! Okay? I got him.

1071
01:35:07,530 --> 01:35:10,690
The only thing keeping you alive
right now are those rubes.

1072
01:35:10,780 --> 01:35:11,860
August hates witnesses.

1073
01:35:11,950 --> 01:35:14,240
Oh, jeez, kid, what did you do?

1074
01:35:14,330 --> 01:35:16,620
I'm not leaving her with him.

1075
01:35:18,460 --> 01:35:21,540
- Get in! Shut the door!
- I have to find her!

1076
01:35:21,630 --> 01:35:23,120
You go after her,
and August can have you shot,

1077
01:35:23,210 --> 01:35:24,580
and nobody can stop him.

1078
01:35:24,670 --> 01:35:27,040
Look, you just got fired.
Makes you a trespasser.

1079
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:31,090
Jacob.

1080
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:34,010
Are you all right?

1081
01:35:35,890 --> 01:35:37,800
The girls overheard August
giving Blackie the order.

1082
01:35:37,940 --> 01:35:40,220
They're coming after you
as soon as we start to move.

1083
01:35:40,310 --> 01:35:43,060
You have to get off this train right now.

1084
01:35:56,580 --> 01:35:57,570
Go.

1085
01:36:00,670 --> 01:36:04,290
If we don't get too far,
there's a hotel in Salem.

1086
01:36:04,380 --> 01:36:06,790
- But don't stay longer than the night.
- Just come with me.

1087
01:36:07,340 --> 01:36:08,920
What?

1088
01:36:09,010 --> 01:36:10,750
You think there's nothing out there for you,
but there is.

1089
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:13,430
You just can't see it.

1090
01:36:13,510 --> 01:36:16,260
Jacob, you don't understand. I can't.
He'll find me.

1091
01:36:16,350 --> 01:36:20,760
Marlena, there's a better kind of life
that's meant for you.

1092
01:36:20,850 --> 01:36:25,600
Whetherthat life is with me or not,
orwhetheryou love me or not,

1093
01:36:25,690 --> 01:36:27,480
it doesn't matter.

1094
01:36:28,530 --> 01:36:30,020
But it's got to be now.

1095
01:39:39,220 --> 01:39:42,130
How long have I been asleep?

1096
01:39:42,220 --> 01:39:44,760
We can't stay here, Jacob.
We have to keep moving.

1097
01:39:44,850 --> 01:39:48,720
Hey, don't worry.
We'll get the first bus out of here.

1098
01:39:48,810 --> 01:39:52,680
We'II make our way to Ithaca.
I'll call my dean, take my finals.

1099
01:39:52,770 --> 01:39:55,890
We do whatever job we can
until my license comes in,

1100
01:39:55,990 --> 01:39:57,850
and then we go to Ringling.

1101
01:39:57,950 --> 01:40:00,310
Ringling's a tough act to break into.

1102
01:40:00,410 --> 01:40:03,070
- You can't just walk through the door.
- No, no, no.

1103
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:06,030
Not if we offer ourselves as a team.

1104
01:40:06,950 --> 01:40:10,160
You as a performer, me as a vet.
That's a pretty sweet deal, right?

1105
01:40:10,250 --> 01:40:11,790
You think they'll take it?

1106
01:40:13,090 --> 01:40:15,290
No! No! No!

1107
01:40:15,380 --> 01:40:17,040
Someone's coming.

1108
01:41:16,820 --> 01:41:18,730
- Easy, up.
- Come on.

1109
01:41:18,820 --> 01:41:20,400
Mind yourself.

1110
01:41:20,490 --> 01:41:22,270
Get that branch.

1111
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:25,320
Get back on. Come on. We're losing time.

1112
01:41:27,490 --> 01:41:28,900
Come on.

1113
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,010
Walter.

1114
01:41:59,690 --> 01:42:01,180
Camel?

1115
01:44:08,820 --> 01:44:10,400
Ladies and gentlemen!

1116
01:44:10,490 --> 01:44:14,070
Step this way! Just follow the sound
of my voice! Don't be shy!

1117
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:16,820
Plenty of time before the big show
starts in the big top!

1118
01:44:17,500 --> 01:44:20,580
Jacob. It's okay. I don't have much time.

1119
01:44:20,670 --> 01:44:23,410
Where's Walter?
Where's Walter and Camel?

1120
01:44:23,500 --> 01:44:26,340
When we jumped the train last night,
August went crazy.

1121
01:44:26,420 --> 01:44:28,580
He had Blackie red-lighting men all night.

1122
01:44:28,670 --> 01:44:32,920
Wade and Grady hit soft ground,
and they found Walter and Camel.

1123
01:44:33,010 --> 01:44:35,000
They had hit the rocks.

1124
01:44:36,890 --> 01:44:37,930
They didn't make it.

1125
01:44:41,810 --> 01:44:43,770
Wade and Grady
are gonna take August down.

1126
01:44:43,860 --> 01:44:46,690
I don't know how,
but you have to get out of here.

1127
01:44:46,780 --> 01:44:49,890
I'll stay hidden until the matinee starts.

1128
01:44:49,990 --> 01:44:53,100
Then I'll make my way to town.
There's got to be a church or something.

1129
01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:55,440
There is.

1130
01:44:55,530 --> 01:45:00,070
You do the Spec, but when the show starts,
come and meet me.

1131
01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:02,410
August won't know you're gone
until the second act.

1132
01:45:02,500 --> 01:45:04,620
- So we'll get a head start.
- I have to go.

1133
01:45:04,710 --> 01:45:07,830
Marlena, just promise me you'll come.

1134
01:45:09,090 --> 01:45:11,880
Or I'll come back for you. I swear it.

1135
01:45:13,340 --> 01:45:14,880
I'll be there.

1136
01:45:21,690 --> 01:45:22,670
I love you.

1137
01:45:22,770 --> 01:45:26,310
Ladies and gentlemen,
and children of all ages,

1138
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:28,810
welcome the stars

1139
01:45:28,900 --> 01:45:34,110
of the Benzini Brothers
Most Spectacular Show on Earth!

1140
01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:26,070
Something's wrong.

1141
01:46:26,170 --> 01:46:28,620
Everybody to the big top!
Come on.

1142
01:46:30,590 --> 01:46:32,370
Where's it coming from?

1143
01:46:33,170 --> 01:46:35,080
Barbara, take Queenie!

1144
01:46:37,890 --> 01:46:39,380
The cats are loose!

1145
01:46:41,810 --> 01:46:43,220
Get them!

1146
01:47:09,630 --> 01:47:10,990
Daddy!

1147
01:47:13,170 --> 01:47:17,460
Move! Move! No!

1148
01:47:29,190 --> 01:47:30,300
Marlena!

1149
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,070
Marlena!

1150
01:48:20,780 --> 01:48:21,820
Marlena!

1151
01:48:29,540 --> 01:48:30,910
Marlena!

1152
01:48:47,180 --> 01:48:48,390
Rosie...

1153
01:48:55,940 --> 01:48:57,100
Rosie!

1154
01:49:53,710 --> 01:49:56,950
The official report said
August had been trampled to death.

1155
01:49:57,040 --> 01:50:01,250
Blackie was never seen again after Wade
and Grady dragged him out of that tent.

1156
01:50:01,340 --> 01:50:04,330
And no one was charged with
letting the animals out of those cages.

1157
01:50:04,430 --> 01:50:07,260
To the police, it could have been anyone.

1158
01:50:16,900 --> 01:50:21,610
Benzini Brothers was officially belly up,
property of Altoona, Pennsylvania.

1159
01:50:21,690 --> 01:50:23,930
Shows on the road would get the scent
soon enough

1160
01:50:24,030 --> 01:50:26,400
and come to pick off our bones.

1161
01:50:26,490 --> 01:50:28,700
I wouldn't leave Rosie to that.

1162
01:50:28,780 --> 01:50:32,400
I wasn't gonna let anybody touch her
with that hook again.

1163
01:50:32,500 --> 01:50:35,240
So like I planned, I took my finals.

1164
01:50:35,330 --> 01:50:38,420
And wlth my degree,
ouranimals, and Marlena's act,

1165
01:50:38,500 --> 01:50:40,460
Ringling got themselves a sweet deal.

1166
01:50:40,550 --> 01:50:41,960
A sweet deal.

1167
01:50:43,050 --> 01:50:46,540
Our first son was born that season. Walter.

1168
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:49,790
He spent the first seven years
of his life with Ringling.

1169
01:50:49,890 --> 01:50:52,430
That's why I cannot

1170
01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:56,560
understand how he could forget
to show up today.

1171
01:50:57,440 --> 01:50:59,600
There was a circus in town!

1172
01:50:59,690 --> 01:51:04,610
By the time our third son came,
we'd had enough. Rosie was tired.

1173
01:51:04,700 --> 01:51:09,660
Luckily, the vet at the Albany Zoo
dropped dead, so I got the job.

1174
01:51:09,740 --> 01:51:13,650
We bought some property
so we could keep the horses, Rosie,

1175
01:51:13,750 --> 01:51:16,160
and then five kids.

1176
01:51:16,580 --> 01:51:20,200
Oh, before you know it, the kids
are borrowing the car and moving out.

1177
01:51:20,290 --> 01:51:24,710
So then it was just Rosie and us.

1178
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:29,960
When Rosie passed on,

1179
01:51:31,430 --> 01:51:33,050
Marlena cried for days.

1180
01:51:36,020 --> 01:51:38,560
We owed Rosie ourwhole lives.

1181
01:51:39,690 --> 01:51:41,470
And Marlena?

1182
01:51:45,110 --> 01:51:47,400
My Marlena died in her bed.

1183
01:51:50,910 --> 01:51:52,900
Still beautiful, though.

1184
01:52:03,340 --> 01:52:05,920
We had a lot of years, though.

1185
01:52:06,010 --> 01:52:10,470
I don't know how I did it, but I managed
to give her everything I promised.

1186
01:52:10,550 --> 01:52:13,510
And, boy, that was the life!

1187
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:16,470
Boy, I'm telling you!

1188
01:52:21,940 --> 01:52:23,600
Are you hiring me?

1189
01:52:25,980 --> 01:52:28,570
I don't know. What about your health?

1190
01:52:28,650 --> 01:52:31,990
There's nothing wrong with me.
I'm just old.

1191
01:52:32,070 --> 01:52:34,440
Work is the best thing forage.

1192
01:52:34,530 --> 01:52:37,240
A man like me
ought to be working the ticket wicket,

1193
01:52:37,330 --> 01:52:41,200
not some kid ringed up like a sideshow act.

1194
01:52:41,290 --> 01:52:45,630
And if you don't think I'm carrying
my weight, you can call the home.

1195
01:52:45,710 --> 01:52:47,450
I won't argue.

1196
01:52:48,840 --> 01:52:50,670
You won't be sorry.

1197
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:54,250
Yeah, we'll get you in the record books.

1198
01:52:54,350 --> 01:52:56,430
"Oldest man that ever ran away
with the circus."

1199
01:52:59,140 --> 01:53:01,130
I'm not running away.

1200
01:53:03,310 --> 01:53:04,970
I'm coming home.
