Control.

It's like youth.

You don't truly appreciate
it until it's gone.

In my youth I had total
control of my life.

I had a vocation.

I had passion.

I had hope.

And then, I met a man

Who turned out to be a monster.

And he made me a prisoner.

I was trapped in my own home

When he forced himself
on his stepmother.

New life began in her,

And for sake of
appearance, in me.

But now I was back in control

And I was determined
never to lose it again.

In case you haven't
already noticed,

There will soon be an
addition to our family.

Congratulations, ma'am.

Thank you.

But as our family grows
we also suffer a loss.

I'm saddened to say that
mrs. Garland foxworth

Will be leaving us to set
up a new home in pittsburgh.

Her son, christopher, will
remain in our hospitality

Until he can be sent for.

I would like to thank you all

For welcoming my late
husband and myself, and-

We wouldn't want you
to miss your train.

I think
this may be a mistake.

You're protecting
the foxworth name.

Christopher's legacy.

Think of his future.

This is it?

You have all the
creature comforts of home

And enough amusements
that the time will fly by.

Never been much of a reader.

Well then... Perhaps
this can also be a time

Of personal growth.

Just think, once
the baby is born

You'll get the money
from garland's estate.

You and christopher will be
free of this place forever.

What about malcolm?

I'll take care of him.

I'm scared.

Fear is like pain.

Endure it long enough and
you become numb to it.

Trust me, I know.

I'll see you in the morning.

I settled her into the
old chambermaid's room

In the east wing.

The one with the
steps to the attic.

And I have the only key.

An authoritative temperament is
a highly unattractive quality

In the fairer sex.

But then again you
are barely a woman.

Goose down is a poor
substitute for a fertile womb.

And mockery is a poor
substitute for masculinity.

You will leave alicia alone.

You want to be in control?

It's all yours.

But if your plan fails

And something happens
to my daughter...

It won't.

And it might be a boy.

Excuse me?

The baby.

You're so sure it's
going to be a girl

But that's the one
thing you can't control.

Darling, when are
you going to realize

That I always get what I
want... No matter what?

Christopher!

It's late, sweetie.
What are you doing up?

I know you must miss your mommy,

But she'll be back
for you. I promise.

I have an idea.

How would you like to
sleep with me tonight?

Would that make you feel better?

I'm telling you
something isn't right.

Did you hear those noises coming
from the east wing last night?

Sounded like somebody crying.

Mrs. Steiner.

Nella.

Oh nella, would you be available
to meet with me later today

To discuss some changes
to our produce order?

Well surely, I can
consult with the cook

Regarding any
issues you may have.

That won't be
possible, mrs. Steiner,

As I'll no longer be requiring
your services in my home.

Excuse me?

Your termination is
effective immediately.

But I've lived at foxworth
hall my entire life.

And now you don't.

Do you understand?

Yes.

If mr. Garland foxworth
were still alive

He wouldn't stand for this.

If that be true,

Then perhaps this is the one
happy result of his death.

Goodbye, mrs. Steiner.

How would you like to be
the new head housekeeper?

I would like that very much.

Thank you.

Your next payment will
reflect your new position.

And your first task is to ensure
that the rest of the staff

Stays out of the east wing.

But shouldn't we...

No one should enter
the east wing.

Not for any reason.
Do you understand?

Yes, ma'am.

One thing before you go.

I was just in the library

And I saw that the door
to the attic was open.

Do you need me to
get you anything?

I'd hate for you to go up
there in your condition.

There's another
entrance to the attic?

It's the old servant staircase.

Take me there now.

Please get one of the carpenters

To seal up this
door immediately.

We won't be needing
this access anymore.

Certainly, ma'am.

You said you would take care
of him and he came anyway.

I know.

I'm truly sorry. I failed you.

But I know a way to stop him.

Your hair.

What?

Malcolm likes things of beauty.

No, no. I couldn't.
I couldn't.

Peace of mind is more
important than vanity.

It's the only way.

Now, I'm telling you, celia.

Something strange is
going on up in that house.

Stranger than normal.

Lord help us then.

Mrs. Foxworth has
forbidden anyone

From going into the east wing.

Well, you better
stay out of it, mama.

Because whatever it is
it's probably not any good.

- That place...
- I know.

Nothing but evil
comes from that house.

But mrs. Foxworth...

She's different.

She's a white person.
You don't know her.

Not really.

I know enough to know
that she's not like him.

Maybe so.

But just cause judas
ain't the devil

Doesn't make him someone
you should trust.

Olivia.

A moment.

Yes?

I would like to
show you something.

A letter to
westmoreland sanitarium.

All about my poor,
sad, deluded wife.

My beloved olivia who
never quite recovered

After learning that
she was infertile.

She has even been pretending
to be with child for months.

Surely an extended stay

Would help her recover
from her psychosis.

They would never believe you.

Really? A woman's
word over mine?

I did not appreciate that
little gift you left on my desk.

No more stunts like that
or I will send this letter.

There's just one problem.

How will my equally
beloved husband

Explain how he came into
possession of a newborn?

Alicia will never let
you raise the baby alone.

Alicia might not have
a say in the matter.

We all know how dangerous
childbirth can be.

Perhaps you have forgotten
one tiny bit of information.

You killed your father
and raped your stepmother.

Maybe it's time to share that
tidbit with the authorities.

I am your authority
in this house.

You can play act you're
in control all you want.

And none of this is real.

Not your rules.
Not your threats.

And the pregnancy,

You are just a sad woman

With a sour face
and a dead womb.

We don't get many
ladies around here,

But I'd be happy to
figure something out

For the right price, honey.

No, I'm not here for that.

Oh. You want to
get rid of that.

Let me fetch miss hazel.

What? No! Goodness no.

Thank you very much.

Since malcolm had found
other means for release,

Alicia was finally safe

And I could focus on
what really mattered...

The children.

Stop it, mommy!

Can I call you mommy?

Of course you can, my love.

Go.

What about me?

What's that noise?

Nothing. Let's all head inside.

Christopher, christopher!
Please look at me!

You broke my trust.

You took my son away from me.

I'm not the enemy
here. Malcolm is.

Don't play innocent.

This scheme was all your idea.

Yes. To save our family.

To protect the foxworth
name for our sons.

I don't believe you.

I saw the way that you
looked at christopher.

I know you want more children
and I know you can't have them.

I think you want my baby
just as much as he does.

Is that what you think of me?

You keep me locked up in this
room like some kind of prisoner.

May I remind you that you
weren't forced into this.

You agreed to these terms.

Well, I don't agree
to them anymore.

You can't leave.

Oh, really?

If you go, malcolm won't
give you your inheritance.

I don't care about the money.

I am taking christopher and
I will manage on my own.

How?

You've never worked
a day in your life.

You can't support yourself.

And how will you
hide your pregnancy?

Everyone will know the
baby couldn't be garland's.

But at least I'll
have my freedom.

Do you know what
malcolm would do to you,

To both of us, if you left?

Whatever he might do

Can't be worse than
what he's already done.

That child belongs here!

My child belongs
with his mother!

This is the last
time I'll say it.

Get in line or I can make
things much worse for you.

You are just as bad as he is.

Let me go. Let
me go! Let me go!

No!

Alicia.

I'm so sorry.

Are you all right?

Ah!

Ahhhhh!!!

Malcolm!

Malcolm!

Malcolm help! Stop her!

Let go. Let go! Let
go of me, let go!!

No!

Alicia!

She's alive.

The baby? What about the baby?

I don't know, I don't know!

If that baby is
hurt so help me god

That letter to westmoreland
will be in the post tomorrow

And you will spend the rest
of your days in a padded cell.

You won't send that letter.

Unless of course you
want the foxworth name

Splashed all over the
front page of the paper.

"esteemed businessman
malcolm foxworth

"seen frequenting house of
ill repute." I followed you.

Now if you want
to save this baby

You need to stop threatening
me and start listening.

We're running out of time.
We need to call the doctor.

How do we explain away all this?

I will handle that. I'll
call the doctor now.

I'll fix myself up and
go wait for the doctor.

Are you sure about this?

Yes.

Thank you for coming in
the middle of the night.

Anything for the foxworths.

I see you are in the
family way. How wonderful.

My apologies.

I suppose my diagnosis about
your infertility was wrong.

We have been blessed.
It's quite a miracle.

Indeed.

But you're, you're
feeling all right?

Yes. But we didn't
call you here for me.

You see, there's
something rather delicate

I'd like to share with you.

And we, of course,
appreciate your discretion.

Of course.

This way.

Mrs. Foxworth will be fine.

And the baby?

Heartbeat sounds strong.

Thank you, doctor.
That is wonderful news.

Where am I?

You're in your
bed, mrs. Foxworth.

You had quite the nasty spill.

You.

She's evil.

Now alicia, please.
It's me, olivia.

We're here to help you.

No, no, no. They're keeping
me prisoner here. They...

She's worse than you said.

Ever since garland died she's
been slowly losing her mind.

She even did that
to her own hair.

No, they're lying.

You have to... You
have to believe me.

- I believe you.
- You have to believe me.

She just can't
accept that her grief

Sent her into the arms
of one of the servants.

No, no, no, no.

It was him. He did it to me.

He forced himself on me.

Mrs. Foxworth...

that's a new one.

There must be some
sort of sedative

You could give her
to calm the nerves.

No, no, no, no, no.

Alicia.

Hold her down, hold her down!

no, please no!

All right.

-No, no, no -alright,
mrs. Foxworth.

They're lying! You
have to believe me!

Help me, help me! No!
You have to believe me!

Alright, just keep calm.

You have to believe
me, please no.

No.

It was quite the gamble
calling the doctor here.

But it appears you
did the right thing.

My daughter is alive and well
which is all that matters.

Well done.

Yes. Thank goodness.

This baby is
important to me too.

I won't get the chance
to have another one.

I've always wanted a daughter.

Yes, well, she won't truly
be your daughter, will she?

That ankle will make it
difficult to care for alicia.

I would offer to help

But I know how you like
to maintain control.

I don't want any part of this.

I was wondering why you
were acting so strange.

Now, I wish I didn't know.

I know it sounds bad.

You're keeping a pregnant
woman locked up in the attic!

It's for her own good.

Is it?

Please.

I don't know where else to turn.

So, they got you involved now.

I'm helping mrs. Foxworth

While she recovers from
her sprained ankle.

And don't you pull any
of that fighting with me.

I hit back.

Hard.

Now... Eat.

Don't do it because mrs.
Foxworth told you to

Or because I told you to.

Do it because that
child is hungry

And no good mother
wants to hurt her baby.

Because no matter
what anyone says,

That there is your baby.

Thank you for
acknowledging that.

Play their game.

Then you can take your
boy and your money

And be rid of this
awful place forever.

But it's not a game.

It's my life.

Not if you don't eat.

And something happens
to that baby of yours,

You'll be lucky to
still have a life

Once mr. Foxworth
gets through with you.

You think I don't
know what he does?

The only thing
that hasn't had me

Running for the
hills is my celia.

He paying for her schooling.

And don't go thinking
it's charity.

It's nothing of the sort.

Mr. Foxworth is
my celia's father.

He did the same thing to
me that he did to you.

I'm so sorry.

It was a long time ago.

If I can make it through all
these years working for him,

You can make it a few more
months in this here room.

Now... Eat.

Olivia: At the time
I couldn't have known

How much nella had in
common with alicia.

How much pain she was in.

The kind of pain only
a mother could know.

Because being a mother
is all about pain.

- You hear that?
- It's time.

Make it convincing. You need
to drown out her screams.

Yes, I see it! I see it!

I can't!

You can. You can do this.

Push, now!

no.

But she's your baby.

She belongs to them now.

Don't ever forget
what they did to me.

And to you.

What they can still do.

Don't forget who they are.

I know who they are.

Then why are you
still helping them?

oh.

She's perfect.

A girl.

Just as I knew she would be.

She is here with us
because your plan worked.

Just as you said it
would. Thank you, olivia.

Welcome to the world,
my sweet corrine.

Corrine?

After my mother.

I assume you won't have
a problem with that.

No.

I won't.

Everything about her is perfect.

I want to thank you.

Not just for helping with
alicia but for everything.

Ever since I came to this
place you've been there for me.

More than any employee,
more than any friend.

My only friend, really.

What do you think a friend is?

Well someone you talk to.
Someone who understands you.

And do you understand me?

I'd like to think I do.

Do you even know
anything about me?

What's my surname?

Well I, I... I don't
know. It's never come up.

What's this all about?

It's jennings. My name
is cornelia jennings.

Is everything all right?

No.

Because if you knew me,

You would've never
asked me to help you

With the other mrs. Foxworth.

Never.

Excuse me?

Look at me and look at you.

We're not friends, ma'am.

I gave you employment.

I promoted you beyond
what your station in life

Would normally allow.

I earned my job
and my promotion.

All this time I was operating
under the gross misapprehension

That we were friends.

I assure you that
will not happen again.

You may go.

I've missed you so
very much, christopher.

Christopher: You're
not my mommy.

He'll come around.

I know.

I should've been kinder to you.

I lost sight of
our common enemy.

I was hoping for a boy.

Oh?

Promise me something.

Protect my... Protect
your daughter.

Make sure malcolm doesn't do
to her what he's done to us.

Olivia: I would honor my
promise to alicia at all costs.

If only I knew then just how
great that cost would be.

Olivia: They say time
heals all wounds.

But 15 years only
made them worse.

Thank you all for
gathering together

To celebrate our dear
corrine's 16th birthday.

Her father and I are so proud
of the young woman she's become.

So, on behalf of her
father and her brothers

Joel, mal, and
his fiancée helen,

Please join us in wishing
corrine a very special day.

To corrine.

May I have this dance?

Of course, daddy. Excuse me.

You've almost survived
another foxworth gathering.

Your family is always
pleasant to me, mal.

That's because they're
not your family yet.

Did you know he would be here?

Mal, stop.

- Not now. Can we just dance?
- Yeah.

Please?

You look about as good as I do.

I just needed some air.

Fawning over corrine
was making me a bit ill.

Aren't you basking in
our sister's perfection?

Helen's ex, bill's here.

Bill's a dullard with bad hair.

I'm pretty sure he wears
lifts in his shoes.

You know his dad already made
him vice president at 23?

Helen chose you, not
him. She loves you.

What if that's not enough?

You're my big brother.

You know I'd jump at the chance
to knock you down a peg or two.

That guy's got nothing on you.

Everything was
perfect. Thank you.

Of course, ma'am.

What a lovely party.

It is not quite over yet.

I have one more
gift left to give.

It's too big to
be keys to a car.

Mm-hmm.

Too heavy to be jewelry.

Oh.

goodness.

A beautiful baby doll
for my beautiful baby.

Thank you, daddy.

I don't care how old you get,

You will always
be my little girl.

Are you going to tell
me what's bothering you

Or do I have to endure
your sulking about

For the rest of the day?

My trust fund.

I don't get access
to it until I'm 25.

Darling, of course I'd want
you to have your trust early.

It's not just for me, no.

Helen's accustomed to
a certain lifestyle.

All the money in the
world means nothing

If there isn't true
love between two people.

Yes, but I want
to provide for her

In the way that she's
accustomed, and I...

The trusts are your
father's domain.

He set them up so he
must approve all changes.

If this is something
you really want

You're going to have to
take this up with him.

That's what I was
trying to avoid.

I know he can be difficult.

Huh.

I don't know how you do it.

Put up with him all these years.

I had you. That's how.

No. It, it won't be long
before joel gets married

And corrine is halfway
out the door as it is.

Then what will you do?

A mother's work is never done.

I'll be fine.

May I come in?

I didn't get to
give you my present.

Every woman needs her own set.

oh, mother.

Thank you.

At least you realize
I'm not a child anymore.

Your father loves you very much.

It's just...

Well, it's hard for him to see
you growing up, dancing with boys.

Rockford.

Excuse me?

Rockford taylor, the
boy I was dancing with?

All I can think about is what
it would be like to kiss him.

I want nothing more for you
than to find a good man to love

And to love you back.

But all in due time.

What about you?

What about me?

Don't you think you
deserve that too?

A good man to love you?

When was the last
time... You know?

What your father and I do or do
not do behind closed doors...

Mother, we all know
you don't do anything.

Don't you miss it?

Being touched?

Corrine...

Rock only touched my hand

And it felt like my
whole body was on fire.

I can't imagine never being
able to feel that again.

Yes well, you will feel
that again, I promise.

So, you need not worry.

Why did you marry daddy?

Well I...

I was in love. I
thought I was in love.

When I met your father,

He appreciated me for who I was.

A businesswoman. Or
I thought he did.

And life has a way of happening.

And before you know it
you've forged a path,

And once on a path it's
difficult to change direction.

And would you like that?
To change direction?

What I would like is for
you to enjoy your youth.

Go to college.

- Flirt.

- Dance.

But don't rush into anything.

I would've liked
that for you too.

it's getting late.

Happy birthday.

Olivia: The next day I
couldn't shake off the thoughts

My children had awakened in me.

What was I to do when
they all left the house?

And how had my daughter

Grown to become a more
fulfilled woman than I ever was?

I was lost.

But in that moment
something else was found.

Something that had
remained hidden

Until fate brought
me there that day.

The poison garden.

Perhaps the key
to finding myself

Had been right at my
fingertips all along.

How many dresses do you need?

There's just um, one more
shop I need to visit.

Look, you're bored to tears.
Why don't you go on home?

I can walk back.

Really?

What?

You could have just told
me you were killing time

Until lover boy showed up.

Get out of here.
Mum's the word.

Have fun!

I seem to have a problem.

Yeah, it don't sound
good. Let me take a look.

Yeah, I think it might
be one of the air hoses.

Yeah. Air hose.

So, you can fix it?

I'd have to order a part

But it shouldn't take
more than a few days.

Thank you.

What's that you're listening to?

I'm sorry sir. I
can turn it off.

No, no. I like it.
And please, it's joel.

I've just never heard
anything like that before.

The blues doesn't usually make
its way to rich folks like you.

Well, I'm sorry for that.

It seems to be our loss.

There's some pretty interesting
chord progressions in there.

I write music and
play, piano mostly.

Though I've done
some trumpet dabbling

With some light
clarinet sprinkled in.

You can borrow the
record if you want.

I'd like that very much.

I'm an adult now.
I'm getting married.

If I had access to more
capital to invest, I...

Is that what this is?

Some elaborate scheme to
get your hands on my money?

That's not what I meant.

The reason you have that trust
is your mother insisted on it.

Had it been up to me you would
be getting nothing at all.

Please father.

Look, I do not
respond to begging.

It is unbecoming of a man.

I think you should leave

Before you embarrass
yourself any further.

Thank you for the ride.

You saved my loafers for sure.

Any time.

I'll see you next Saturday?

I'll come around about 7:00.

I don't want to see you

Cavorting with that
boy ever again,

Or any boy for that matter.

But he's invited me
to a dance next week.

All my friends are going
and he's from a good family.

Please, daddy.

I don't care who he is
or who his family is.

You are too young to
be going to dances.

And you are most certainly too
young to be spreading your legs

On the back of a motorcycle.

If you would just meet him
maybe you would reconsider.

I don't need to meet
him. I already know him.

He is a boy, and boys
only want one thing.

- But daddy!
- No, enough!

No dance!

End of discussion!

Wasn't that a bit harsh?

Corrine is a child. It
is my job to protect her.

She's growing up. Mal
already is grown up.

Maybe it's time to accept that.

So, he sent you in here
to fight his battles.

You're right, he is
growing up into a weak man

Because you have coddled him.

He will not get early
access to that trust.

What difference does
a few years make?

You're doing this to hurt him.

Well, maybe a few bruises will
make a man out of him after all.

So, to be a man one
needs to be bruised,

To be a woman one
needs to be protected.

Corrine is a girl.

She is a young woman

And it's our job to teach
her how to be an adult.

You can't stop her growing up,

No matter how many
dolls you buy her.

I see the way you look at her.

And what exactly is
that supposed to mean?

Not how a father should.

And what do you know

About how men are
supposed to look at women?

A mother, jealous of her
own daughter's beauty.

And yet you point
the finger at me.

I'm not jealous. I'm scared.

I'm scared of how her beauty
could entice certain men.

The wrong men.

Which is why she needs
experience with them,

So she doesn't just say yes

To the first man who
comes along and proposes.

Well, that was your
mistake and mine.

Maybe we're not so
different after all.

I don't understand why
he has to be so strict.

I'm going to be the only girl
in town not at that dance.

My life is over.

I know it might seem that way.

It's like he wants to be
the only man in my life.

I guess I'm going to be
daddy's little girl forever.

I think you should go.

What? Really?
But daddy said...

Your father doesn't
need to know.

It will be our secret.

Oh, mother!

Thank you.

Olivia: Malcolm was right.
Men only want one thing.

I'm pregnant.

Rock was so sweet and kind.

I didn't really even
mean for it to happen.

I just got so caught
up with things.

Are you mad?

Not at you.

I just wish I told you
more about the ways of men.

You asked for my guidance
and I failed you.

I won't let that happen again.

what
am I going to do?

We, you mean. What
are we going to do.

You're not in this alone.

There is something.

It may be our only option.

Are you the one
wanting miss hazel?

On the bed, honey.

You gotta lay back.

this is
all just so awful.

It's all right.
It's all right.

Tomorrow, it will be
like this never happened.

Are you really just going
to sweep this under the rug

Like you do everything else?

I can't pretend that
that didn't just happen.

I know it happened
and I'm glad it did,

Because now you have
the life you deserve.

But this, here tonight,
this is between you and me.

Everywhere else
with everyone else,

This was just a night
like all the others.

You went to bed
mad at your father.

So, did I.

Do you understand?

yes.

mommy.

Thank you.

It is awfully
quiet this morning.

Scrambled eggs and grapefruit,
it's your favorite.

And yet you have barely
touched your plate.

Are you feeling all
right this morning?

Just a little tired, daddy.
I was up late reading.

Hmm.

What about you? Were you
up late last night as well.

I was reading too.

Well...

They must have been some
awfully engaging novels

To keep you both awake
so late last night.

Yes daddy. Mine was about...

Enough.

I will not be lied
to at my own table.

Leave us.

How dare you take our
daughter to that place?

Yeah, that is right, I saw you.

You are a filthy whore
just like the rest of them.

Taking our daughter
to get that procedure.

I should have you both arrested.

It was the only option.

It was the best thing to
do for her, for the family.

I know what is best
for this family.

No more boys. No more parties.

No more parading around town
like a cheap little hussy.

From now on you will stay
here on these grounds.

What?

You're going to keep
me here a prisoner?

Until I believe you have
learned your lesson, yes.

If you so much as
think of setting foot

Outside of those gates I will-

Or you'll what?!

Can't you see she's
suffered enough already?!

Go to your room.

But daddy.

Now!

I don't regret my decision.

It was not your
decision to make.

Well, it certainly wasn't yours.

I oughta...

Hit me?

Will that make you
feel better? Go ahead.

The back of your hand

Is well worth corrine
having a chance at life.

I will find a way to
make you regret this.

I would've had it
finished for you sooner

But I had to wait for
a part from richmond.

No, it's fine.

Not having wheels forced me to
stay home and work on my music.

That record you lent
me sort of inspired me.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Scrapped what I was working on

And started something
completely different.

More freeform.

I'm... I'm happy to help.

Well, thanks again.

Before you go, I got the new
sonny boy williamson in town.

No one does the blues
harp like he does.

You gotta take a listen.

You ever try playing yourself?

The playing's not for me.

I just like where
the tunes take me.

Just gotta do something to break
up the days in this garage.

Yeah.

Do you get out much?

I mean, do you have time
off? For travel or...

Yeah, I get Sunday mornings off.

My pa travels me all
the way to church.

Of course. That makes sense.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

But yeah, that's the dream.

Just get out of here,

See something besides these
walls and those trees.

I understand wanting to
escape the walls we live in.

Your walls look a lot
different than mine.

Harry?

Mr. Foxworth.

Hello celia.

Make sure you take
a lunch break.

Mm-hmm.

Not sure your mother
likes me very much.

My momma died when I was three.

Celia's my stepmother.

It's pretty obvious
we aren't kin.

Oh?

You can't tell her
daddy's a white man?

What are you trying to tell me?

Thank you.

Oh, god I need this.

Where'd you get it?

My friend betsy's brother
has been growing it

Behind their stable.

But this could be
the last of it,

Given as I'm now housebound
for the rest of my adult life.

Yeah. I can't believe
it's all just because

You met up with that guy again.

I mean sure, dad's an ass, but
that's excessive even for him.

I know.

So, do you think
there's any chance

You'll get your trust early?

Not a chance in hell, no.

Helen keeps telling
me it doesn't matter.

I just want to give her
the best life possible.

You will.

And not because of
when you get your trust

But because you're you.

Exactly. Me.

With a family straight
out of the house of usher.

You started without me?

Here.

You can catch up.

There's something I've
been wondering about dad.

Oh lord. Where do you start?

I think he might
be celia's father.

Well yeah.

We've heard those rumors
in town for years.

How did I not know this?

Because you always have your
head stuck in the piano.

Stop.

You never noticed
the resemblance?

What do you think?

I think you're a
flipping genius.

Ow.

I know about celia.

And unless you want
mother to know as well

I suggest you do as I say.
I want access to my trust.

I like this side of you.

Well, it's settled then.

I'll have the lawyers draw
up the transfer papers.

Why wait?

Excuse me?

- Olivia!
- What?

Why are you calling her?

Son, why don't you tell your
mother what you have discovered?

No, that's... She
doesn't need to know.

No. You came into my office and
threatened to tell her something

If I did not give you
access to your trust.

Well you are not getting
access to your trust,

So be a man and
tell your mother.

Please don't do this,
okay? Just, just forget it.

Your son wanted you to know
that I am celia's father.

Why?

Why do you do things like that?!

Mal, it's fine. Go have
a drink, cool down.

You'd have to crawl
over my dead body

To get access to that money.

Oh, we should all be so lucky.

Mother, I'm so sorry, okay?

I never meant for
you to find out.

I just thought that he would
give me the money and...

It's all right!

Your father's indiscretions
are not your cross to bear.

-But if it weren't for
me... listen to me.

Remember this day

So you will always treat
your wife and children

With respect and kindness.

I'll never be like him.

Good.

Your big day is just
around the corner.

Please don't let your
father spoil things.

Thank you, mother.

Promise me something.

I want you and helen
to get as far away

From this place as you can.

Okay.

Nella.

Mrs. Foxworth?

I'm sorry to bother you.
Do you have a moment?

Um, not right now.

I know that malcolm
is celia's father.

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Tell my employer
that her husband

Is the father of my daughter?

That's not something
that's easy to tell anyone,

Let alone the
mistress of the house.

I'd like to think
I'm not just anyone.

I know you don't
consider me a friend.

But despite everything I
still consider you one.

Does celia know?

Oh, what happened with alicia.

What I asked you to do.

Had I known I never
would have involved you.

I know.

It all makes sense
why you were so upset.

Is that how you got the scars?

That was a long time ago.

But the hurt you must have felt.

That doesn't just go away.

No.

And I will hate mr. Foxworth
until the day I die.

But you, well, you and me.

I always felt like there was
something different between us.

I fought it, but I felt it.
I still do if I'm honest.

And after 16 years

Maybe it's time to let
bygones be bygones.

I'd like that.

so, um, as friends
may I ask one thing of you?

Is that you, momma?

Set a plate up for your supper.

There's someone here
who wants to see you.

Good evening, mrs. Foxworth.

I'm sorry to barge
in like this, um.

I was hoping... I wanted to...

She knows.

All right.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for you.

Men like that, they never stop.

What are you doing?

I thought I heard
corrine calling for me.

Olivia: Celia was right.

Men like malcolm never stop.

Unless you stop them.

Uh, corrine, I saw
bellman's is having a sale.

We should go to
town this weekend.

Could use some things
for the honeymoon.

I could drive you.

Is your car up
and working again?

It is.

Harry did an
excellent job with it.

Who?

Celia's stepson.

Well, I would love to
take you up on the offer

But I'm not allowed
to go to town.

Daddy!

Malcolm!

I gave him a
sedative to calm him.

He should wake up
in a few hours.

Will he be well enough
to attend the wedding

Or should we postpone
the festivities?

He'll be groggy but certainly
no need to cancel the nuptials.

He was eating one minute and
then on the floor the next.

His reaction could be to
an allergen or to a poison.

I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to alarm you.

I'm sure it's just
something he ate.

In any event, he's
lucky to be alive.

Yes. Very lucky indeed.

How did you find out
about the poison garden?

Mother... You startled me.

Answer the question.

I have no earthly clue
what you're talking about.

I found this near the
woodpile to be incinerated.

I believe these are your gloves,
stained green by a plant.

I was on a walk
and I... Saw you.

I didn't mean to give
daddy so much, I swear.

I just wanted to go to a
party with some friends.

You poisoned your father
so you could go to a party.

After everything that
happened with rockford

I thought you
learned your lesson.

I, I just wanted him
out of it for a bit.

Just long enough
so I could go out.

Daddy's got me locked up here.

I was just so mad at him

For how he treats
me and mal and joel.

And you.

Is he going to be all right?

The doctor said he
will recover, yes.

Please, please don't tell him.

I won't.

Thank you, mother.

But anything else,
one more time...

There won't be another time.

Because you aren't like
him. You can't be like him.

I'm not.

It was a mistake, I swear.

I love you.

He's awake.

Thank goodness!

What happened?

You had an attack of
sorts, mr. Foxworth.

An attack.

Just an allergic reaction.
Nothing to worry about.

I'm not so sure anymore.

It's highly likely
that you were poisoned.

Go get mal.

Oh, you can't possibly think...

That our son is lazy?

That he wants money, my money,

But isn't willing
to work for it?

All he's been talking
about is getting his hands

On his precious trust which
would be a hell of a lot easier

If I wasn't around to stop him!

Thank you, doctor. We
appreciate your discretion.

Of course.

Good day.

This is utter nonsense.

You know mal
wouldn't hurt anyone,

No matter how hateful
you've been to him.

Then who?

What if it was me?

You don't have the nerve.

Perhaps you should
start drawing up a list

Of potential assailants.

I would think the
number of enemies

You've acquired over the
years is quite lengthy.

We should dress for the wedding.

Should I call for someone
to help you get ready?

I'll manage perfectly
well by myself, thank you.

Mr. Foxworth.

Glad to see you're
feeling better.

I just wanted to come
check in on the bride.

You look beautiful, helen.

Thank you.

Please, sit.

I just wanted to
apologize personally

For not giving mal early
access to his trust.

Oh, I really don't
know much about it.

Those kinds of matters aren't
for women to nosey around in.

Beautiful and smart.
Mal chose well.

Thank you.

Did mal explain that
this family operates

Under a very specific
set of rules?

I don't understand
what you mean. Rules?

Well, I make 'em. Everyone
else follows them.

And when they follow
them precisely,

Everybody gets what they want.

Now, mal wants that money

And you want him to get
what he wants, don't you?

I love mal.

Hmm.

I want him to be happy.

Mm-hmm.

To get what he wants.

Corrine!

Where are you going?
Everybody's looking for you.

Your wedding's about to start.

There isn't going
to be a wedding.

What? Why?

Get in. I'll explain.

I just walked in
on dad and helen.

Where did you get this?

The dressing table.

Did you hear what
I said about dad?

Mal, this isn't...

Oh, my god.

What's happening?

Mal, no! Hold on, mal!

- Look out!!!

Where have you been?

Settling some business.

Mrs. Foxworth! Mr. Foxworth!

Something terrible has happened.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

It's mal!

The poison from the garden,

He thought it was
something to smoke.

mal! Mal!

Somebody call the doctor!

He's not breathing.

Olivia: I was so worried
about protecting my daughter

That I lost my son.

The family dealt with their
grief in different ways.

Some sought comfort in others.

Some found comfort in a
different kind of release.

But me? I didn't
deserve comfort.

Our son is dead because of you!

You hid that garden from me!

You dragged corrine
into all of this mess!

You have destroyed this family!

And then I did something
I never thought I'd do.

You're right.

I surrendered control
to my husband.

I'm sorry.

I'm so very, very sorry.

You do not deserve
my forgiveness.

I know.

You abused the freedom
that I gave to you.

So, now today that
freedom is gone.

You will respect me!

You will obey me!

You will listen to me!

Do you understand?!

Yes.

Whatever you say.

You should be
ashamed of yourself.

Olivia: I realized I never
had control of anything.

Not my future, not my
children, not even the staff.

Something else
controlled all of us.

Something we couldn't escape.

Foxworth hall.

And in that moment, it was
bringing more horror upon us.

Someone who would
bring us new pain,

New tears, and new tragedy.

She had returned.

And with her, the
fire had been lit.

It was just a matter of time
until we all went up in flames.
