Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:27,574
It just doesn't make any sense.
2
00:00:27,986 --> 00:00:31,316
No, the Whigs have controlled
this district for years.
3
00:00:31,782 --> 00:00:34,912
Never lost an election. How could
this suddenly turn into a dogfight?
4
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:36,873
The winds of change are blowing,
I suppose.
5
00:00:36,954 --> 00:00:37,834
Winds?
6
00:00:37,913 --> 00:00:39,043
More like an earthquake.
7
00:00:39,122 --> 00:00:41,332
Like the whole country
is just falling apart.
8
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:42,750
No, I'm...
9
00:00:44,336 --> 00:00:45,336
So...
10
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,837
have you cast your ballot already?
11
00:00:48,924 --> 00:00:50,094
I did. On my way here.
12
00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:52,255
Can the Whig party count on your support?
13
00:00:52,344 --> 00:00:55,644
I don't often vote
a straight party line ticket.
14
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:57,182
I'm more of an independent.
15
00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:59,936
Yes, well, I suppose it's good
for a man to think for himself.
16
00:01:00,686 --> 00:01:01,686
I agree.
17
00:01:02,312 --> 00:01:05,072
Mrs. Dickinson,
who would you be voting for?
18
00:01:05,147 --> 00:01:07,067
- If you could.
- Me?
19
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:09,360
What a funny question.
I've never thought about it.
20
00:01:09,444 --> 00:01:11,664
Really? I thought you were a suffragette.
21
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:15,576
How dare you insult me like that.
22
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:20,914
- Dad. Dad, Dad, Dad!
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
23
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:23,458
- It's so exciting. It's so exciting!
- Oh, my God!
24
00:01:23,542 --> 00:01:24,672
Yes, it is exciting.
25
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:27,438
- It's election day. Of course.
- What? No, we're not talking about that.
26
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:29,672
Who cares about an election
when you can't even vote?
27
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:31,840
{n8}We are talking about...
28
00:01:32,259 --> 00:01:34,509
{n8}-the circus!
- The circus is coming to Amherst!
29
00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:36,656
Yes, it starts today!
They're setting up the big tent now!
30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,390
- They've got lions...
- Lions.
31
00:01:38,473 --> 00:01:40,183
And tigers and...
32
00:01:40,267 --> 00:01:43,557
Siamese twins. They've got Siamese twins.
You know? You know Siamese twins.
33
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:45,355
Can we go? Can we go? Can we go?
34
00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:46,687
The circus?
35
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:48,227
How depraved.
36
00:01:48,317 --> 00:01:50,277
"Depraved"? What do you mean?
37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,150
Circuses are dens of depravity.
38
00:01:52,237 --> 00:01:54,799
They're vile and crude and utterly
unsuitable for polite young ladies.
39
00:01:54,823 --> 00:01:59,043
No. Do you know there was a circus in Ohio
where so much violence was incited,
40
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,799
half the town was seriously injured
and the other half went to jail.
41
00:02:01,872 --> 00:02:04,792
No, circuses are full of thieves
and hucksters, gypsies...
42
00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:06,375
And how about those ladies though?
43
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:08,040
Those so called "acrobats,"
44
00:02:08,127 --> 00:02:10,877
scantily-clad,
who will certainly be roaming about,
45
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:14,134
flaunting themselves like common h...
I'm not going to say it.
46
00:02:14,635 --> 00:02:16,925
No. Circus is no place for you girls.
47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,639
So will you take us?
48
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:26,265
- Ithamar, we need to talk.
- Yes, that's why I'm here.
49
00:02:26,355 --> 00:02:29,185
Well, let's take a little walk.
Perambulate with me.
50
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:30,904
- It's close.
- I know it's close.
51
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:33,379
- You don't have to tell me it's close.
- It wasn't supposed to be close.
52
00:02:33,403 --> 00:02:35,381
No, I know it wasn't.
The Democrats barely put up a fight.
53
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:37,008
Your hat, sir.
You left it in the carriage.
54
00:02:37,032 --> 00:02:38,332
Thank you. I love this hat.
55
00:02:38,408 --> 00:02:39,868
Right, but it's not the Democrats.
56
00:02:39,952 --> 00:02:41,622
- It's the Know-Nothings.
- The what now?
57
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:43,681
The Know-Nothings.
You don't know about the Know-Nothings?
58
00:02:43,705 --> 00:02:45,099
No, I know everything
about the Know-Nothings.
59
00:02:45,123 --> 00:02:47,423
- Okay then.
- Well, how about you give me a refresher?
60
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:48,711
So you don't know.
61
00:02:48,794 --> 00:02:51,764
There's just too many parties
to keep track of. Why can't there be two?
62
00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:54,469
On the other hand, maybe you do know
and you're saying you don't
63
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:57,362
because when a member of the Know-Nothings
is asked about their movement,
64
00:02:57,386 --> 00:02:59,426
they're supposed to say they know nothing.
65
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:00,643
- Confusing.
- Yes.
66
00:03:00,722 --> 00:03:02,432
So I could be asking you
about it right now
67
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:04,636
and you could be saying you know nothing,
68
00:03:04,726 --> 00:03:07,016
and that could actually
be your way of telling me
69
00:03:07,104 --> 00:03:08,774
you're secretly a member of the party.
70
00:03:08,856 --> 00:03:10,583
Well, let's just assume
for a moment that I'm not.
71
00:03:10,607 --> 00:03:13,237
- Tell me why I'm not a shoo-in.
- Because these Know-Nothings?
72
00:03:13,318 --> 00:03:15,488
It turns out they know something
about winning.
73
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:16,781
They might win!
74
00:03:16,864 --> 00:03:20,334
Great scones. Did you know the scone
was invented in the 16th century?
75
00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:22,289
- I'm sorry, did you say they might win?
- Yes.
76
00:03:22,369 --> 00:03:24,169
- As in beat me?
- Yes, Edward, I'm afraid so.
77
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:25,932
But that's impossible.
This is Massachusetts.
78
00:03:25,956 --> 00:03:28,810
The Whig candidate has won this district
since the founding of the republic.
79
00:03:28,834 --> 00:03:30,254
Yes, well, times change.
80
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:31,915
Mr. Dickinson!
81
00:03:32,004 --> 00:03:34,691
- What should we have for dinner tonight?
- I don't care, woman. Surprise me.
82
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:36,315
Well, how would you feel about woodcock?
83
00:03:36,341 --> 00:03:39,761
Or game hen?
Or snipe, pheasant, plovers, grouse,
84
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:41,425
roasted hare, or haunch of venison?
85
00:03:41,513 --> 00:03:43,933
Is there any way for me
to get out of this conversation?
86
00:03:46,018 --> 00:03:49,518
The Know-Nothings have built a platform
on populist economic rhetoric
87
00:03:49,605 --> 00:03:51,895
and anti-immigrant nativist anxiety.
88
00:03:51,982 --> 00:03:53,652
- It's a heady brew.
- And noxious.
89
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:55,074
Yes, but it's working.
90
00:03:55,152 --> 00:03:57,005
And you mean people
are actually voting for these clowns?
91
00:03:57,029 --> 00:03:57,859
Indeed.
92
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:01,366
It turns out people like it when you
tell them who to blame for their problems.
93
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:05,660
- And the Know-Nothings are blaming...
- Immigrants, Roman Catholics, the Irish...
94
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:09,076
- And we're not blaming anyone.
- Exactly. We haven't picked an enemy.
95
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:11,836
- That seems like an oversight.
- In retrospect, yes.
96
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:13,549
So after all this, I still might lose?
97
00:04:13,629 --> 00:04:16,379
- I don't know. It's close.
- Close?
98
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:17,798
God dammit.
99
00:04:18,257 --> 00:04:21,047
If it's gonna be close then let it be.
Do you know what, Ithamar?
100
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,376
I believe in this country
and I believe in the good guys.
101
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:26,520
That at the end of the day,
the good guys win because we love America.
102
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:30,595
And when immigrants come here to join us,
we throw our arms wide open and we say,
103
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:32,477
"Welcome. Grab a seat. Eat a hot dog."
104
00:04:32,564 --> 00:04:34,114
We don't kick people out.
105
00:04:34,191 --> 00:04:35,281
No.
106
00:04:35,359 --> 00:04:37,489
And as far as these Know-Nothings go,
107
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:40,109
it sounds to me like
what they need to know something about
108
00:04:40,197 --> 00:04:41,867
is a little thing called patriotism.
109
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:43,699
And generosity. And pride.
110
00:04:47,162 --> 00:04:48,542
God, Maggie, what's wrong?
111
00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:51,173
It's me brothers.
112
00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:54,710
They were casting their votes at the polls
this morning when they were attacked.
113
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:56,375
One of 'em was beaten half to death.
114
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:57,513
Beaten by whom?
115
00:04:57,589 --> 00:04:58,969
The Know-Nothings!
116
00:04:59,383 --> 00:05:01,893
They hate us for being Irish.
117
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:04,299
You see, Edward?
Things are getting out of hand.
118
00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:05,558
You know, Mr. Dickinson,
119
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:09,479
me brothers and I,
we came to America to escape persecution.
120
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,310
"The land of the free," they told us.
121
00:05:11,854 --> 00:05:14,314
But it's the same here
as it was in Ireland.
122
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:16,938
Maybe we should just go back home.
123
00:05:17,025 --> 00:05:20,855
Maggie, don't lose faith
in this nation just yet.
124
00:05:21,405 --> 00:05:22,405
You'll see.
125
00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:25,155
Honor and decency will prevail.
126
00:05:25,784 --> 00:05:29,124
Soon, I'll be elected
and I'll represent you and your brothers.
127
00:05:29,204 --> 00:05:31,754
And I'll make sure
something like this never happens again.
128
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:33,042
I hope you're right.
129
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:34,125
I know I'm right.
130
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,984
Who cares if I never see an elephant?
131
00:05:57,858 --> 00:06:00,108
I saw a cloud
that looked like an elephant once.
132
00:06:01,195 --> 00:06:03,195
I'm sorry your dad won't let you go.
133
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,950
He doesn't let me to do anything.
134
00:06:06,158 --> 00:06:07,278
You may have noticed.
135
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:09,077
Yeah, no reading, no swimming...
136
00:06:09,161 --> 00:06:10,411
And no circuses.
137
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:15,921
So... what are you gonna do instead?
138
00:06:17,002 --> 00:06:18,592
- For fun, you mean?
- Yes.
139
00:06:19,254 --> 00:06:24,474
How will Emily Dickinson
entertain herself?
140
00:06:25,928 --> 00:06:26,928
I don't know.
141
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:28,926
I might stick around the house.
142
00:06:29,014 --> 00:06:30,724
Maybe have a conversation with a moth.
143
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:34,020
Well, here's something.
144
00:06:35,938 --> 00:06:36,938
What's that?
145
00:06:37,356 --> 00:06:38,356
Poetry contest.
146
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:43,494
It says today is the deadline to enter.
147
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,449
"We seek the undiscovered lyrical genius
of Amherst."
148
00:06:48,534 --> 00:06:51,754
That's you. I mean, based on
what I've read of yours, it could be.
149
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:53,078
I know about the contest.
150
00:06:53,163 --> 00:06:55,003
You do? So have you entered already?
151
00:06:57,084 --> 00:07:00,214
Remember that conversation
we were just having? About my father.
152
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:08,049
Yeah. No reading, no swimming,
no circuses, and no poetry.
153
00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:10,721
At least not in public.
154
00:07:10,806 --> 00:07:14,426
Do you really think that he would care
if you entered a poetry contest?
155
00:07:14,518 --> 00:07:16,438
I guess you don't really know him yet.
156
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:18,020
I guess not.
157
00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:22,187
My father says women who seek
literary fame are no better than...
158
00:07:24,027 --> 00:07:25,027
well...
159
00:07:26,488 --> 00:07:28,118
let's just say, "acrobats."
160
00:07:30,951 --> 00:07:32,661
Well, that's a shame because...
161
00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:37,035
I think if you entered that contest,
162
00:07:38,667 --> 00:07:39,667
you would win.
163
00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:01,895
"Nobody knows this little Rose"
164
00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:13,656
There you are.
165
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:14,794
God.
166
00:08:14,870 --> 00:08:15,910
I've looked everywhere.
167
00:08:15,996 --> 00:08:16,996
Hey, Em.
168
00:08:18,957 --> 00:08:22,127
What are you doing here? I thought
staring at gravestones was my thing.
169
00:08:22,211 --> 00:08:23,961
- We have a problem.
- What is it?
170
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:26,505
Somebody's buried in Sue's spot.
171
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:29,127
{n8}Who the cripes is Ichabod Beecher?
172
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:30,801
{n8}That's the Beecher baby.
173
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:33,296
One of the Beecher babies, I should say.
174
00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:36,768
God, that poor family. So many babies.
Every single one of them died.
175
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:39,980
Well, why is this dead Beecher baby
buried so close to our plot?
176
00:08:40,062 --> 00:08:42,192
I guess they lost so many babies
they ran out of room.
177
00:08:42,272 --> 00:08:45,442
Well, that sucks,
but I'm supposed to be buried right here
178
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:48,606
and Sue, as my wife,
should be buried next to me.
179
00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:49,775
Shouldn't she?
180
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:51,493
Why don't you just move the baby?
181
00:08:51,907 --> 00:08:53,027
What?
182
00:08:53,116 --> 00:08:54,736
I can't move a dead baby.
183
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:56,622
What would the Beechers say?
184
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,290
Nothing.
185
00:08:59,373 --> 00:09:02,503
They haven't lived in Amherst for years.
They all moved back to England.
186
00:09:04,253 --> 00:09:07,383
Plus that baby died 27 years ago.
He's basically an adult now.
187
00:09:09,383 --> 00:09:10,473
That's true.
188
00:09:10,551 --> 00:09:13,051
Okay, so I've solved your problem.
I need you to solve mine.
189
00:09:14,263 --> 00:09:15,263
What is it?
190
00:09:15,722 --> 00:09:18,102
The Springfield Republican
is holding a poetry contest.
191
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:21,403
- Today's the last day to enter it.
- Well, you're not gonna enter, are you?
192
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,482
- Of course not. Dad would kill me.
- No, I know he would.
193
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,935
Which is why I want you to enter it.
194
00:09:27,025 --> 00:09:28,145
My poem under your name.
195
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:29,235
Me?
196
00:09:29,653 --> 00:09:31,153
- I can't do that, Em.
- Why not?
197
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:33,988
- Well, for one thing, it's dishonest.
- Only half-dishonest.
198
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:35,343
The "Dickinson" part will be true.
199
00:09:35,367 --> 00:09:36,577
Yeah, and then what?
200
00:09:36,952 --> 00:09:38,952
You'll be mad
because you won't get the credit.
201
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:40,714
I knew you'd say that.
202
00:09:41,707 --> 00:09:42,827
I've thought about this.
203
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:46,304
I swear I won't get mad.
204
00:09:46,378 --> 00:09:49,798
I don't care who gets the credit,
I only want the world to read my words.
205
00:09:51,008 --> 00:09:52,508
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm positive.
206
00:09:52,593 --> 00:09:55,053
Here. You have to hurry,
the deadline is this afternoon.
207
00:09:55,137 --> 00:09:57,307
They'll print the winner
in the paper tomorrow.
208
00:09:58,182 --> 00:10:00,482
It's not like really weird
or anything is it?
209
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,559
No.
210
00:10:02,477 --> 00:10:03,477
No.
211
00:10:06,607 --> 00:10:08,147
Look, if you win, you'll be proud.
212
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:10,363
Austin, please do this for me.
213
00:10:13,155 --> 00:10:14,155
Okay.
214
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:15,823
For you.
215
00:10:16,742 --> 00:10:19,082
You're the best.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
216
00:10:19,536 --> 00:10:20,536
Thank you.
217
00:10:22,623 --> 00:10:25,213
How psyched is Sue gonna be
when I dig up this baby?
218
00:10:30,088 --> 00:10:32,298
You really know your way around a turkey.
219
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:35,389
Yeah, well...
220
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:40,391
since I was orphaned,
I always had to do the cooking.
221
00:10:42,601 --> 00:10:44,561
You haven't had an easy life, have you?
222
00:10:50,901 --> 00:10:52,741
It's wonderful having you back.
223
00:10:54,613 --> 00:10:56,413
Since you returned from Boston.
224
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:58,120
Thank you, Mrs. Dickinson.
225
00:11:03,664 --> 00:11:05,674
I'm happy you and Austin settled things
226
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:09,335
and that we're gonna have
a beautiful wedding.
227
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:13,090
There's something I'd like to give you.
228
00:11:20,973 --> 00:11:22,353
An engagement gift.
229
00:11:23,392 --> 00:11:25,772
I can't...
Mrs. Dickinson, you didn't have to.
230
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:28,435
It's something my mother gave to me
231
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:31,902
the day I left the Norcross farm
and went off to marry Mr. Dickinson.
232
00:11:32,901 --> 00:11:34,991
It's been my companion all these years.
233
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:41,582
Of course, I always thought I would
give it to Emily on the day she married
234
00:11:41,994 --> 00:11:46,794
but, well, I think it would be best
if I gave it to you.
235
00:11:47,332 --> 00:11:48,962
"The Frugal Housewife."
236
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:52,420
Mrs. Dickinson, I don't know what to say.
237
00:11:54,506 --> 00:11:55,546
Call me mother.
238
00:11:56,133 --> 00:11:57,513
You'll be my daughter soon.
239
00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:00,891
And don't worry,
I'll do my best not to die on you.
240
00:12:10,564 --> 00:12:11,574
Hey, Sue.
241
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:12,648
Hello.
242
00:12:13,984 --> 00:12:14,994
What are you reading?
243
00:12:16,195 --> 00:12:17,195
Your mom gave it to me.
244
00:12:17,821 --> 00:12:20,781
You're really leaning into this
whole housewife thing, aren't you?
245
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:24,995
Eat shit, Emily.
246
00:12:55,859 --> 00:12:57,739
I thought it was Ithamar with the results.
247
00:12:57,819 --> 00:12:59,739
No, still no word.
248
00:13:02,241 --> 00:13:04,541
This was supposed to be wrapped up by now.
249
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:07,408
Honey,
why don't you just try to get some rest?
250
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:08,826
Get a good night's sleep.
251
00:13:08,914 --> 00:13:10,834
- It's been a long day.
- No.
252
00:13:11,917 --> 00:13:13,957
The news could be here any minute.
253
00:13:16,255 --> 00:13:20,255
Hey, can't those girls keep it down?
254
00:13:20,968 --> 00:13:22,758
It's just Jane Humphrey and a few others.
255
00:13:22,845 --> 00:13:25,949
- Lavinia invited them to stay the night.
- Oh, my God, would you tell them to hush?
256
00:13:25,973 --> 00:13:26,973
Yes, of course.
257
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:30,185
Yeah, I'm deep in contemplation
of our national situation.
258
00:13:30,269 --> 00:13:33,559
I can't bear another moment
of their inane chatter.
259
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:36,357
I mean the whole Kansas-Nebraska Act
was just a massive overreach
260
00:13:36,441 --> 00:13:37,861
on the part of the slave power.
261
00:13:37,943 --> 00:13:40,113
They actually tried
to repeal the Missouri Compromise.
262
00:13:40,195 --> 00:13:43,091
Like, do they really think we're going to
admit more slave states into the Union?
263
00:13:43,115 --> 00:13:44,945
The problem is
they control the government.
264
00:13:45,033 --> 00:13:47,793
We have to build a coalition
that can block their legislation.
265
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:50,789
Jane, you're like, so woke.
266
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:52,461
I know.
267
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:54,671
If I was allowed to vote,
I would vote Republican.
268
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:55,591
Good for you.
269
00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:58,919
The Republicans are the only ones
who explicitly stand against slavery.
270
00:13:59,006 --> 00:14:01,716
The true progressives.
They're on the right side of history.
271
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,010
I know. It's like, if you really want
justice for all people in this country,
272
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:06,635
you have to vote Republican.
273
00:14:07,181 --> 00:14:08,181
Definitely.
274
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:11,603
Emily, you're not wearing a nightgown.
275
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:14,687
I can't sleep.
276
00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:16,515
Too nervous about the election results?
277
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:18,566
No.
278
00:14:19,484 --> 00:14:21,704
Do you really think the South will secede?
279
00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:23,658
No way. They don't have the guts.
280
00:14:23,739 --> 00:14:25,699
There are too many
aligned interests at stake.
281
00:14:25,782 --> 00:14:27,677
It would be economically
devastating for everyone.
282
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:29,951
I don't know, guys. I think they might.
283
00:14:30,037 --> 00:14:31,617
And then we're gonna have a civil war.
284
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:33,115
We're definitely gonna have a war.
285
00:14:34,458 --> 00:14:36,338
See? Even weirdo agrees with me.
286
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:38,090
There's gonna be a war
287
00:14:38,587 --> 00:14:40,257
and a million men will die.
288
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:44,548
And then a million snowflakes
will fall on their graves.
289
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:52,429
But how do you know?
290
00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:54,140
I know someone...
291
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:56,805
who knows these things.
292
00:14:57,481 --> 00:14:58,481
Who?
293
00:14:58,857 --> 00:14:59,857
Death.
294
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,780
Well, anyway, I wish I could vote.
295
00:15:07,866 --> 00:15:08,866
I know, right?
296
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,873
Okay, now let's talk about boys.
297
00:15:13,872 --> 00:15:15,372
Okay, wait, which minister?
298
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:19,835
- Emily, pass the, pass the salt.
- No, no, no.
299
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,630
- Maybe... No, it's okay.
- I had a healthy portion on the road.
300
00:15:22,714 --> 00:15:24,934
What? But you said...
301
00:15:25,008 --> 00:15:27,718
Lavinia, you're wearing black silk mittens
at breakfast?
302
00:15:27,803 --> 00:15:28,803
Of course I am.
303
00:15:29,513 --> 00:15:31,723
You know
that's no longer considered genteel?
304
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:33,885
It isn't?
305
00:15:33,976 --> 00:15:35,476
Well, it was never convenient.
306
00:15:38,105 --> 00:15:39,185
Has the paper arrived?
307
00:15:39,273 --> 00:15:41,903
Not yet, Dad.
They're still counting the votes.
308
00:15:41,984 --> 00:15:42,864
Won't be long now.
309
00:15:42,943 --> 00:15:44,703
We're all rooting for you, Mr. Dickinson.
310
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,068
That's very kind of you, Jane.
311
00:15:46,154 --> 00:15:47,874
You're going to abolish slavery, right?
312
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:50,487
Dear God, I have a headache.
313
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:52,451
That's a yes.
314
00:15:52,953 --> 00:15:54,043
Well,
315
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:57,424
let me attempt to take everyone's minds
off of politics for a moment.
316
00:15:57,499 --> 00:15:59,709
I have a very special surprise.
317
00:16:00,836 --> 00:16:01,916
Susan?
318
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:03,379
My beloved,
319
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:07,545
I have taken it upon myself to ensure
320
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:10,684
that you and I spend no less than eternity
by each other's side.
321
00:16:10,762 --> 00:16:14,222
- Okay, we all know you're getting married.
- No, no, no. What I'm saying
322
00:16:14,308 --> 00:16:17,638
is that I'm digging up a dead baby
so that you can be buried next to me.
323
00:16:20,355 --> 00:16:21,565
I beg your pardon, dear?
324
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:23,358
No, it's all good, Mom.
325
00:16:23,442 --> 00:16:24,902
I've hired two gravediggers.
326
00:16:24,985 --> 00:16:26,145
They're gonna do it today.
327
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:27,986
You know that Beecher baby?
328
00:16:28,071 --> 00:16:29,281
You know the one. Ichabod?
329
00:16:29,364 --> 00:16:32,494
He's in the spot next to mine
and that's where Sue needs to go
330
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:34,750
so that we can be together forever.
331
00:16:35,204 --> 00:16:36,374
In the afterlife.
332
00:16:36,455 --> 00:16:37,915
Is that legal?
333
00:16:38,332 --> 00:16:40,502
- Father, is it legal?
- Of course it's legal.
334
00:16:40,584 --> 00:16:42,103
- Is it legal?
- Shouldn't I know what's legal?
335
00:16:42,127 --> 00:16:43,337
I think it's legal.
336
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:45,148
- The poor Beecher baby.
- Dad, it's legal, right?
337
00:16:45,172 --> 00:16:47,592
- What?
- Who names a baby "Ichabod"?
338
00:16:47,674 --> 00:16:49,974
- It's a family name, Jane.
- Paper's here.
339
00:16:54,973 --> 00:16:55,973
Dammit.
340
00:16:56,058 --> 00:16:57,388
Still no results?
341
00:16:58,060 --> 00:16:59,560
This is absurd.
342
00:16:59,978 --> 00:17:01,558
What has happened to the Whigs?
343
00:17:02,397 --> 00:17:04,317
What has happened to this country?
344
00:17:04,398 --> 00:17:05,978
- We need radical change.
- Radical.
345
00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:07,420
That's what I was talking about
last night.
346
00:17:07,444 --> 00:17:09,914
- Me too.
- Please don't talk politics at the table.
347
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:13,240
Oh, my God, Austin, you won!
348
00:17:13,659 --> 00:17:15,409
I... What?
349
00:17:15,493 --> 00:17:17,793
You won the poetry contest.
350
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,040
I did?
351
00:17:22,125 --> 00:17:24,205
- You entered a poetry contest?
- Yeah.
352
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:25,304
Let me see that.
353
00:17:26,171 --> 00:17:27,171
Wow.
354
00:17:28,423 --> 00:17:29,593
You're writing poetry?
355
00:17:29,675 --> 00:17:31,795
I have dabbled in poetry.
356
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:36,309
"Nobody knows this little Rose"
357
00:17:40,352 --> 00:17:43,692
A poem by Austin Dickinson.
358
00:17:44,439 --> 00:17:46,859
"Nobody knows this little Rose"
359
00:17:49,111 --> 00:17:50,611
It might a pilgrim be
360
00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:53,949
Did I not take it from the ways
And lift it up to thee
361
00:17:54,867 --> 00:17:56,407
Only a Bee will miss it
362
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:57,913
Only a Butterfly
363
00:17:58,704 --> 00:18:03,044
Hastening from far journey
On its breast to lie
364
00:18:06,044 --> 00:18:07,674
Only a Bird will wonder
365
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:10,050
Only a Breeze will sigh
366
00:18:10,465 --> 00:18:12,715
Ah Little Rose
367
00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:15,971
How easy For such as thee...
368
00:18:16,847 --> 00:18:17,967
"To die!"
369
00:18:21,393 --> 00:18:22,853
That's really lovely.
370
00:18:26,565 --> 00:18:27,565
You wrote this?
371
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:29,358
Yeah.
372
00:18:30,277 --> 00:18:32,777
As a matter of fact, I wrote it for Sue.
373
00:18:33,864 --> 00:18:36,374
- And you forgot to read the title.
- Title?
374
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:38,370
Yeah. I threw one on there.
375
00:18:38,452 --> 00:18:40,622
"To Mrs. Blank. With a Rose."
376
00:18:40,704 --> 00:18:43,124
Mrs. Blank. That's you.
377
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:47,289
Well, congratulations, Austin.
378
00:18:47,377 --> 00:18:48,457
Thanks, Dad.
379
00:18:49,546 --> 00:18:51,966
This is a marked improvement
from your last attempt.
380
00:18:52,049 --> 00:18:54,639
Excuse me, I feel sick.
381
00:18:59,431 --> 00:19:01,681
Well, I thought it was really lovely.
382
00:19:01,767 --> 00:19:03,387
And I don't like poems.
383
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,450
So you entered the contest.
384
00:19:17,699 --> 00:19:18,699
Not exactly.
385
00:19:18,742 --> 00:19:19,742
You won.
386
00:19:19,826 --> 00:19:21,656
No, Austin won.
387
00:19:26,041 --> 00:19:27,171
I'm sorry.
388
00:19:28,627 --> 00:19:29,747
It's not your fault.
389
00:19:31,797 --> 00:19:33,127
It's not his fault either.
390
00:19:34,883 --> 00:19:36,643
He didn't choose to be born a man.
391
00:19:38,887 --> 00:19:41,097
Just like I didn't choose to be born a...
392
00:19:41,849 --> 00:19:42,849
freak.
393
00:19:43,517 --> 00:19:45,137
You are not a freak.
394
00:19:46,562 --> 00:19:47,562
Yes, I am.
395
00:19:47,646 --> 00:19:49,106
Well, then I am too.
396
00:19:50,399 --> 00:19:51,399
You?
397
00:19:52,234 --> 00:19:55,034
An unmarried man my age?
398
00:19:56,822 --> 00:19:57,822
Of course I am.
399
00:20:01,451 --> 00:20:03,581
Maybe we should run off
and join the circus.
400
00:21:00,969 --> 00:21:01,969
Dad,
401
00:21:02,679 --> 00:21:03,719
you didn't knock.
402
00:21:04,932 --> 00:21:06,312
I don't need to knock.
403
00:21:08,644 --> 00:21:12,654
It seems like that's
what doors are for but... your call.
404
00:21:14,274 --> 00:21:16,364
Do you take me for a fool, Emily?
405
00:21:17,778 --> 00:21:18,778
What?
406
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:23,161
I said, "Do you take me for a fool?"
407
00:21:23,575 --> 00:21:25,195
No. Of course not.
408
00:21:25,285 --> 00:21:26,785
And yet you treat me like one.
409
00:21:31,124 --> 00:21:32,214
Your own father.
410
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:35,630
The man who gives you everything.
411
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:36,962
The food you eat.
412
00:21:37,047 --> 00:21:38,507
The very air you breathe.
413
00:21:39,091 --> 00:21:40,511
Dad, I don't know what you're...
414
00:21:40,592 --> 00:21:41,932
Don't lie to me!
415
00:21:42,010 --> 00:21:43,800
Austin did not write this poem!
416
00:21:46,849 --> 00:21:48,679
Yes, but nobody knows that.
417
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:50,557
So now everyone's a fool?
418
00:21:50,644 --> 00:21:51,654
The whole world.
419
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:54,190
- Everyone but you.
- That's not what I'm saying.
420
00:21:54,273 --> 00:21:55,653
They will know, Emily.
421
00:21:55,732 --> 00:21:58,692
Nobody will believe
your brother wrote this.
422
00:21:59,695 --> 00:22:03,235
And you dared do this
on the most significant day of my career?
423
00:22:03,323 --> 00:22:05,583
On Election Day?
Do you realize what you've cost me?
424
00:22:05,659 --> 00:22:07,619
What you've cost this family, Emily?
425
00:22:07,703 --> 00:22:10,333
My God,
you bring me another public humiliation!
426
00:22:11,373 --> 00:22:12,883
It's not my fault.
427
00:22:12,958 --> 00:22:15,248
Of course it is.
Who else's fault could it be?
428
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:17,295
It's not my fault
you didn't win the election!
429
00:22:36,398 --> 00:22:39,688
Ladies and gentlemen!
430
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:45,779
Welcome to the big top!
431
00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:48,120
You ready, Emily?
432
00:22:52,998 --> 00:22:55,128
- Ready for what?
- To go on, of course.
433
00:22:55,209 --> 00:22:56,629
They're all here to see you.
434
00:22:57,794 --> 00:22:59,514
You're the star of the show.
435
00:23:08,263 --> 00:23:09,263
Ben?
436
00:23:10,682 --> 00:23:11,932
Good luck out there tonight.
437
00:23:12,017 --> 00:23:14,057
- It's a huge crowd.
- What are you doing here?
438
00:23:14,144 --> 00:23:15,404
I told you I was a freak.
439
00:23:29,034 --> 00:23:33,664
And now, ladies and gentlemen.
440
00:23:34,122 --> 00:23:36,712
The moment you have all been waiting for,
441
00:23:37,501 --> 00:23:39,751
the greatest freak of them all:
442
00:23:44,842 --> 00:23:46,592
a female poet.
443
00:24:12,452 --> 00:24:14,042
Oh, my God!
444
00:24:31,096 --> 00:24:31,966
Dickinson!
445
00:24:32,055 --> 00:24:33,215
Great news!
446
00:24:33,307 --> 00:24:34,307
You won!
447
00:24:35,726 --> 00:24:36,976
Did you hear what I said?
448
00:24:39,730 --> 00:24:41,060
- I won?
- Yes.
449
00:24:41,148 --> 00:24:42,818
You're going to Washington.
450
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:45,994
Congratulations, Edward.
451
00:24:46,904 --> 00:24:48,744
This is the happiest I've ever been.
452
00:24:50,657 --> 00:24:51,987
You pulled it off!
453
00:24:52,075 --> 00:24:53,535
A narrow victory.
454
00:24:53,619 --> 00:24:54,789
Yes.
455
00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:56,580
Well, let's have a glass of sherry!
456
00:24:56,663 --> 00:25:00,173
No, no, I've got to get home.
But you should celebrate with your family.
457
00:25:08,383 --> 00:25:09,383
I won.
458
00:25:11,053 --> 00:25:13,183
- Have you now?
- Yes. As I promised.
459
00:25:17,434 --> 00:25:20,604
The men of honor and decency
have prevailed.
460
00:25:22,773 --> 00:25:23,773
Well...
461
00:25:24,942 --> 00:25:26,112
that's a relief.
462
00:26:02,104 --> 00:26:03,234
Emily?
463
00:26:05,274 --> 00:26:06,284
Emily!
464
00:26:08,402 --> 00:26:09,402
Emily.
465
00:26:10,237 --> 00:26:11,237
Sue?
466
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,580
Yeah, it's me.
467
00:26:15,659 --> 00:26:16,699
What happened?
468
00:26:23,292 --> 00:26:24,292
I...
