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.

[gasps]

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.

[whispers] I think
this may be a mistake.

You're protecting
the foxworth name.

Christopher's legacy.

Think of his future.

[door creaks open]

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.

[whispers] 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.

[door locks]

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?

to meet with me later today

To discuss some changes

Well surely, I can

That won't be
possible, mrs. Steiner,

As I'll no longer be requiring

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.

Now, I'm telling you, celia.

Something strange is

Stranger than normal.

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.

Nothing but evil
comes from that house.

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.

[breathing shakily]

You can play act you're

You broke my trust.

You took my son away from me.

This scheme was all your idea.

Yes. To save our family.

To protect the foxworth
name for our sons.

Thank you, doctor.
That is wonderful news.

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.

- 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...

No, no, no, no, 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.

Now... Eat.

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

Do it because that
child is hungry

wants to hurt her baby.

Because no matter
what anyone says,

That there is your baby.

acknowledging that.

Then you can take your
boy and your money

Not if you don't eat.

And something happens

You'll be lucky to
still have a life

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 know it might seem that way.

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

[sighs]

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

I think you should go.

What? Really?

Your father doesn't

It will be our secret.

Scrambled eggs and grapefruit,

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

Leave us.

How dare you take our

Yeah, that is right, I saw you.

You are a filthy whore

Taking our daughter

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-

Can't you see she's

The playing's not for me.

I just like where

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

Of course. That makes sense.

I'm sorry.

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

Thank you.

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.

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.

[laughs]

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.

me... listen to me.

Remember this day

So you will always treat
your wife and children

With respect and kindness.

Good.

Daddy!

[crashing]

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.

[sighs]

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.

[knocking at door]

Mr. Foxworth.

Glad to see you're
feeling better.

I just wanted to come
check in on the bride.

[sighs]

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.

Where did you get this?

The dressing table.

Did you hear what
I said about dad?

Oh, my god.

Settling some business.

Something terrible has happened.

Are you all right?

something to smoke.

Somebody call the doctor!

He's not breathing.
