1
00:00:01,203 --> 00:00:05,054
Mata Hari became
the number one exotic dancer
2
00:00:05,117 --> 00:00:06,617
in all of Europe, but they're like,
3
00:00:06,664 --> 00:00:09,088
"How the fuck does this bitch know
4
00:00:09,155 --> 00:00:11,655
all of this detailed information?"
5
00:00:11,723 --> 00:00:13,826
I wish I could do everything drunk.
6
00:00:13,892 --> 00:00:15,016
- [laughs]
- I really do.
7
00:00:15,041 --> 00:00:16,383
And Maurine was like,
8
00:00:16,465 --> 00:00:17,966
"These women are obviously guilty.
9
00:00:18,047 --> 00:00:20,541
"They are not going to convict...
10
00:00:20,596 --> 00:00:21,733
[hiccups] ...me."
11
00:00:21,783 --> 00:00:23,469
[hiccups] Um...
12
00:00:23,535 --> 00:00:25,436
I forget.
13
00:00:25,503 --> 00:00:28,639
[patriotic music]
14
00:00:28,706 --> 00:00:29,874
15
00:00:29,941 --> 00:00:32,773

00:00:37,416 --> 00:00:40,175
- [jazzy music]
- We're doing gummy bear whisky tonight.
18
00:00:40,221 --> 00:00:41,552
We're doing gummy bear whisky tonight.
19
00:00:41,620 --> 00:00:43,339
- Aren't we?
- Yes, please.
20
00:00:43,393 --> 00:00:46,091
You take one. Red is better for bourbon.
21
00:00:46,157 --> 00:00:47,492
- Okay.
- Okay.
22
00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:49,495
Oh, yeah. I already love it.
23
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,295
- Gummy bourbon.
- Gummy bourbon.
24
00:00:51,362 --> 00:00:52,897
- [chuckles]
- Mm-hmm.
25
00:00:52,964 --> 00:00:54,900
Hello. [laughs]
26
00:00:54,967 --> 00:00:57,336
I'm Sugar Lyn Beard.
27
00:00:57,401 --> 00:00:59,136
And I'm about to take you
28
00:00:59,204 --> 00:01:01,573
through the story of Mata Hari.
29
00:01:01,639 --> 00:01:03,340
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
30
00:01:03,407 --> 00:01:04,678
Thank you for having me.
31
00:01:04,725 --> 00:01:05,959
I'm so excited to tell you this story
32
00:01:06,007 --> 00:01:08,284
because she's kind of like the
grandmother of the striptease.
33
00:01:08,379 --> 00:01:10,563
- Whoa.
- She's an icon.
34
00:01:10,625 --> 00:01:12,314
You had me at "grandmother."
35
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:14,243
[both chuckle]
36
00:01:14,336 --> 00:01:17,405
So our story begins in 1903
37
00:01:17,516 --> 00:01:21,318
when a Dutch woman
named Margaretha Zelle
38
00:01:21,396 --> 00:01:23,232
moves over to Paris.
39
00:01:23,279 --> 00:01:26,123
She's like, "I'm in Paris.
I have no money.
40
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:29,020
"What can I draw on? Oh, my gosh.
41
00:01:29,088 --> 00:01:32,225
"I spent two years in...
42
00:01:32,291 --> 00:01:34,059
"Ooh, that's gross.
43
00:01:34,127 --> 00:01:36,729
"I spent two years in Indonesia
44
00:01:36,796 --> 00:01:38,064
learning the dances."
45
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:40,732
So she decides to make up
46
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,101
a persona for herself.
47
00:01:42,168 --> 00:01:44,537
She becomes Mata Hari,
48
00:01:44,603 --> 00:01:47,406
the exotic Indonesian dancer.
49
00:01:47,473 --> 00:01:49,109
She's like, "Come to my show.
50
00:01:49,175 --> 00:01:51,410
"You'll see what dances are like
51
00:01:51,476 --> 00:01:53,880
in the Far East."
52
00:01:53,945 --> 00:01:56,715
She does her first very big show
53
00:01:56,782 --> 00:01:59,052
in this big fancy theater.
54
00:01:59,118 --> 00:02:02,588
She's, like, performing
in front of high society,
55
00:02:02,656 --> 00:02:05,025
and she's, like, tearing veil by veil,
56
00:02:05,090 --> 00:02:07,893
and underneath that, she's pretty naked.
57
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,963
And it's like, "Oh, shit.
58
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:13,100
This is traditional?
I can hang in for this."
59
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:15,702
And she, like, peels this one off
60
00:02:15,768 --> 00:02:17,804
and then peels this one off.
61
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:19,471
And she's getting away with it
62
00:02:19,538 --> 00:02:20,639
because people are like,
63
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:22,375
"It's not a naughty thing.
64
00:02:22,441 --> 00:02:25,411
No, this is a cultural
educational experience."
65
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:28,749
"I need to watch this woman
strip down to her nitties."
66
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:30,484
- "Nitties."
- "Nitties.
67
00:02:30,549 --> 00:02:32,918
It's like a titty
but covered a little bit."
68
00:02:32,985 --> 00:02:34,586
- "Mm."
- Mm-hmm.
69
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:37,590
And with every veil that dropped,
70
00:02:37,656 --> 00:02:40,292
her audience loved her more and more.
71
00:02:40,359 --> 00:02:43,162
And with that, she became the number one
72
00:02:43,228 --> 00:02:46,598
exotic dancer in all of Europe.
73
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:48,969
Oh. I'm spilling on my face.
74
00:02:49,036 --> 00:02:49,970
[hiccups]
75
00:02:50,036 --> 00:02:51,204
Careful.
76
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:52,272
[gasps]
77
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:55,108
Jeez.
78
00:02:55,174 --> 00:02:56,274
Wow.
79
00:02:56,341 --> 00:02:57,943
[both chuckle]
80
00:02:58,011 --> 00:02:58,978
Mm.
81
00:02:59,044 --> 00:03:00,946
So, she's dancing.
82
00:03:01,013 --> 00:03:01,981
She's getting rich.
83
00:03:02,048 --> 00:03:03,650
And she was a lover,
84
00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:06,151
so she was taking a lot
of these men to bed.
85
00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:07,654
They're giving her money and jewels
86
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,322
and golds for this relationship.
87
00:03:09,388 --> 00:03:10,889
Not goals. Golds.
88
00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:12,659
Yeah. Give-a me golds, please.
89
00:03:12,726 --> 00:03:14,161
Give me golds.
90
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:16,496
Lick-a my nitties for golds.
91
00:03:16,562 --> 00:03:18,131
[both chuckle]
92
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:22,435
So, Mata Hari is performing in Berlin.
93
00:03:22,501 --> 00:03:26,505
It is 1914 in July,
and the war breaks out,
94
00:03:26,572 --> 00:03:28,774
and the German authorities come
95
00:03:28,841 --> 00:03:31,243
and they're like, "You love the French?
96
00:03:31,310 --> 00:03:32,377
"Fuck you.
97
00:03:32,445 --> 00:03:33,979
"We're taking your golds
98
00:03:34,046 --> 00:03:35,648
"and your jewelry,
99
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:37,384
and now you have nothing."
100
00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:39,886
And she's distraught, and she's like,
101
00:03:39,952 --> 00:03:43,122
"Ugh, fuck every... thing."
102
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:44,763
[sobs]
103
00:03:44,803 --> 00:03:46,572
Hold up.
104
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:48,774
[mumbles indistinctly]
Wait a minute. Oh, no, shit.
105
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,609
[laughs]
106
00:03:50,674 --> 00:03:52,943
[laughs] I'm so drunk.
107
00:03:53,010 --> 00:03:54,712
Hold on.
108
00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:56,715
I'm so fucked up.
109
00:03:56,781 --> 00:04:01,051
And so Mata Hari is approached
by the Germans,
110
00:04:01,119 --> 00:04:03,420
and they're like, "Hey, Mata Hari.
111
00:04:03,488 --> 00:04:04,788
"You're cool. You're sly.
112
00:04:04,855 --> 00:04:08,492
"I got 20K francs for you
113
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,162
to spy on the French for me."
114
00:04:10,228 --> 00:04:11,963
Mata Hari finishes, she's like,
115
00:04:12,029 --> 00:04:13,631
"Oh, this is a good deal.
That's a lot of money."
116
00:04:13,699 --> 00:04:16,335
So she agrees. She's like, "Okay, shit."
117
00:04:16,401 --> 00:04:20,406
And he's like, "Your code name is H21,"
118
00:04:20,471 --> 00:04:23,508
and she's like, "Fun. Okay."
119
00:04:23,574 --> 00:04:25,843
Off he goes, and Mata Hari turns around
120
00:04:25,910 --> 00:04:28,113
and she pockets that cash
and she's like,
121
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:30,781
"Fuck these people. No.
They stole my shit.
122
00:04:30,848 --> 00:04:32,149
They owe me."
123
00:04:32,216 --> 00:04:33,517
[laughs]
124
00:04:33,584 --> 00:04:35,986
She doesn't spy for the Germans.
125
00:04:36,053 --> 00:04:38,956
She just goes on this
luxurious tour of Europe.
126
00:04:39,024 --> 00:04:40,459
She's living it up.
127
00:04:40,506 --> 00:04:43,795
She's spending like crazy, to the point
128
00:04:43,862 --> 00:04:48,333
that she gets the attention
of this dude named Ladoux.
129
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:50,435
- Ladoux?
- Ladoux.
130
00:04:50,502 --> 00:04:53,571
- The Dude?
- [laughs]
131
00:04:53,637 --> 00:04:55,507
Okay, hold on.
132
00:04:55,574 --> 00:04:57,841
So, oh, oh, shit.
133
00:04:57,908 --> 00:05:01,012
Georges Ladoux is part of the French
134
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:03,715
counterespionage bureau.
135
00:05:03,781 --> 00:05:07,819
[laughs] "We need to find someone
136
00:05:07,886 --> 00:05:10,388
"fuckin', you know, betraying France.
137
00:05:10,454 --> 00:05:12,690
We need to... we need to catch a spy."
138
00:05:12,757 --> 00:05:17,196
Ladoux wants to put somebody
on trial for betraying France.
139
00:05:17,262 --> 00:05:19,398
Mata Hari... [mumbling indistinctly]
140
00:05:19,464 --> 00:05:22,134
So he goes after Mata Hari.
141
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:23,502
[dramatic music]
142
00:05:23,567 --> 00:05:24,870
What a Ladouchebag.
143
00:05:24,935 --> 00:05:26,604
[laughs]
144
00:05:29,209 --> 00:05:30,828
Oh, God!
145
00:05:30,904 --> 00:05:33,945
Sugar Baby, she's just here to stay.
146
00:05:34,012 --> 00:05:35,579
[laughs]
147
00:05:35,646 --> 00:05:37,949
So...
148
00:05:38,016 --> 00:05:39,084
where were we?
149
00:05:39,151 --> 00:05:40,985
- Ladoux.
- Ha, Ladoux.
150
00:05:41,052 --> 00:05:42,053
Oh, that's right.
151
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,588
So Ladoux's out there,
152
00:05:43,654 --> 00:05:45,289
and he ends up following Mata Hari
153
00:05:45,356 --> 00:05:47,624
kind of everywhere she goes for a while.
154
00:05:47,692 --> 00:05:50,595
Ladoux finally reaches out to her.
155
00:05:50,661 --> 00:05:53,065
He's like, "Hey, Mata Hari. What's up?"
156
00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:55,432
Like, "You don't know me.
I don't really know you yet.
157
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:58,069
I think you're cool.
You should spy for us.
158
00:05:58,136 --> 00:05:59,071
The French."
159
00:05:59,137 --> 00:06:00,170
Mata Hari's like,
160
00:06:00,238 --> 00:06:01,538
"Yo, I don't trust nobody.
161
00:06:01,605 --> 00:06:03,173
"I will do this for you, though,
162
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,472
because I love Franch."
163
00:06:07,011 --> 00:06:09,447
- I'm saying "Franch."
- "Franch."
164
00:06:09,514 --> 00:06:11,617
Oh, my God, I wish I could
do everything drunk.
165
00:06:11,682 --> 00:06:13,851
- [laughs]
- I really do.
166
00:06:13,918 --> 00:06:14,853
This is nice.
167
00:06:14,918 --> 00:06:16,421
Okay. She's like,
168
00:06:16,488 --> 00:06:18,122
"I believe in your side of the war,
169
00:06:18,189 --> 00:06:20,325
and also I'll do it for cash money."
170
00:06:20,391 --> 00:06:23,127
Ladoux was like, "Absolutely.
We'll give you a ton of cash."
171
00:06:23,194 --> 00:06:27,432
But Ladoux doesn't give her
any spy tips.
172
00:06:27,497 --> 00:06:30,867
Anyway, so she has no idea how to spy,
173
00:06:30,935 --> 00:06:34,305
but Mata Hari takes it upon herself
174
00:06:34,372 --> 00:06:38,142
to seduce a German diplomat.
175
00:06:38,209 --> 00:06:40,844
She's like, "You're hot, do you know?"
176
00:06:40,911 --> 00:06:44,149
And he was like, "Oh, my God,
oh, my God!
177
00:06:44,216 --> 00:06:48,887
"They love you on the coast of Morocco!"
178
00:06:48,952 --> 00:06:50,923
[laughs]
179
00:06:50,988 --> 00:06:55,359
So then she writes a very
detailed letter to Ladoux.
180
00:06:55,425 --> 00:06:56,493
She has the intel.
181
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,462
Germany troops are landing
182
00:06:58,529 --> 00:07:00,364
on the coast of Morocco.
183
00:07:00,430 --> 00:07:02,601
Ladoux takes all of this information
184
00:07:02,666 --> 00:07:05,168
and he uses it against her.
185
00:07:05,235 --> 00:07:08,473
He says, "How the fuck
does this bitch know
186
00:07:08,540 --> 00:07:11,141
"all of this detailed information
187
00:07:11,209 --> 00:07:15,146
if she's not actually working
for the Germans?"
188
00:07:15,213 --> 00:07:16,247
[laughs]
189
00:07:16,314 --> 00:07:18,950
So then Mata Hari is arrested.
190
00:07:19,016 --> 00:07:21,085
- Oh.
- Yeah.
191
00:07:21,151 --> 00:07:22,853
On 19...
192
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,490
[laughs]
193
00:07:25,557 --> 00:07:27,259
Hold on, here it comes.
194
00:07:27,324 --> 00:07:32,264
On February 17th, 2017...
195
00:07:32,329 --> 00:07:35,032
[laughs]
196
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:38,036
Okay, so, here we go.
197
00:07:38,103 --> 00:07:44,710
On February 1917, 1917,
Mata Hari goes to trial.
198
00:07:44,776 --> 00:07:49,113
Ladoux, he's like, "How could
she have all this information?
199
00:07:49,180 --> 00:07:51,416
"Like, the only way she could
have this information
200
00:07:51,483 --> 00:07:53,519
"is if she's working for the other side.
201
00:07:53,584 --> 00:07:55,653
"She's not smart. She's a woman.
202
00:07:55,721 --> 00:07:58,423
"Fuck this bitch. I'm scapegoating her.
203
00:07:58,490 --> 00:08:01,860
Whatever." And she's like,
"He's bullshitting everybody."
204
00:08:01,925 --> 00:08:05,663
He said that... all that,
and it was lies."
205
00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:07,331
[laughs softly]
206
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:10,101
At the end of the day,
the jury was like,
207
00:08:10,168 --> 00:08:11,803
"This woman is immoral.
208
00:08:11,870 --> 00:08:15,906
"You know, love affairs
and having sexy dancing.
209
00:08:15,973 --> 00:08:19,444
We think this woman
should die, I guess."
210
00:08:19,511 --> 00:08:22,280
They sentenced her to death
by execution.
211
00:08:22,346 --> 00:08:23,747
"Firing squad."
212
00:08:23,815 --> 00:08:25,149
- [gulps]
- Yeah, whoa!
213
00:08:25,216 --> 00:08:27,117
That is good!
214
00:08:27,185 --> 00:08:28,118
Do it again.
215
00:08:28,185 --> 00:08:29,253
[gulps]
216
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,791
- [laughs]
- [laughs]
217
00:08:32,857 --> 00:08:36,993
Okay. Mata Hari is at her execution...
218
00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:40,331
[laughs] At her exec...
219
00:08:42,534 --> 00:08:45,270
At her execution.
220
00:08:45,337 --> 00:08:46,704
She looks at her lawyer.
221
00:08:46,771 --> 00:08:48,306
[puckers lips]
222
00:08:48,372 --> 00:08:50,307
And then she looks at her priest.
223
00:08:50,374 --> 00:08:51,475
[puckers lips]
224
00:08:51,542 --> 00:08:52,777
Blows kisses.
225
00:08:52,843 --> 00:08:56,948
She looks them dead in her eye.
226
00:08:57,015 --> 00:08:58,984
[laughs]
227
00:08:59,050 --> 00:09:00,718
Dead in her eye.
228
00:09:00,785 --> 00:09:03,353
Before she's shot to death.
229
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:06,157
Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow...
230
00:09:06,223 --> 00:09:08,759
Pow, pow, pow, pow...
231
00:09:08,826 --> 00:09:12,096
And she dead.
232
00:09:12,162 --> 00:09:15,132
Oh, my God, Derek, the funny thing is,
233
00:09:15,199 --> 00:09:20,939
four days after Mata Hari's execution...
234
00:09:21,006 --> 00:09:25,309
[laughs] Ladoux, this bitch,
was arrested
235
00:09:25,376 --> 00:09:28,180
on espionage bullshit.
236
00:09:28,246 --> 00:09:29,680
Fuck that bitch.
237
00:09:29,747 --> 00:09:32,684
Ladoux was a spy upon spies.
238
00:09:32,749 --> 00:09:35,486
Ladoux was a lie upon lies.
239
00:09:35,554 --> 00:09:39,156
Ladoux was a real not... lies.
240
00:09:39,223 --> 00:09:40,858
It's not real.
241
00:09:40,925 --> 00:09:43,861
At the end of the day,
she was never a traitor.
242
00:09:43,927 --> 00:09:46,163
She was an honest woman.
243
00:09:46,229 --> 00:09:48,832
Mata Hari was the first example
244
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:53,004
of women stepping out
and being progressive
245
00:09:53,070 --> 00:09:56,406
and saying, like, "Yo.
This is what I need.
246
00:09:56,473 --> 00:09:58,109
This is just who I am."
247
00:09:58,175 --> 00:10:02,247
She showed up earlier than anybody-body.
248
00:10:02,313 --> 00:10:04,616
- That was so good, Suge.
- Yeah.
249
00:10:04,681 --> 00:10:06,784
I love my life.
250
00:10:06,852 --> 00:10:08,819
I'm in the... [mumbles indistinctly]
251
00:10:08,886 --> 00:10:12,190
I'm right here with you,
and we're getting drunk.
252
00:10:12,257 --> 00:10:14,824
[mumbles indistinctly] Hold on, shit.
253
00:10:14,849 --> 00:10:16,114
[Derek laughs]
254
00:10:17,692 --> 00:10:20,153
I have nightmares probably,
like, four times a week,
255
00:10:20,222 --> 00:10:22,507
and I have to, like,
stab a home intruder
256
00:10:22,549 --> 00:10:23,683
in the neck with a pen.
257
00:10:23,736 --> 00:10:24,916
You have dreams
258
00:10:24,978 --> 00:10:26,970
about stabbing people
in the neck with a pen?
259
00:10:27,037 --> 00:10:28,572
Four times a week.
260
00:10:28,638 --> 00:10:30,374
- [laughs]
- What's your nightmare?
261
00:10:30,441 --> 00:10:32,943
Well, I had a dream once
where there was an intruder
262
00:10:33,011 --> 00:10:36,281
and I had to pluck their
eyeballs out with my hands.
263
00:10:36,348 --> 00:10:39,851
- Yours is way worse!
- You had to?
264
00:10:39,917 --> 00:10:41,318
You evil women.
265
00:10:41,386 --> 00:10:44,155
[upbeat music]
266
00:10:44,222 --> 00:10:46,624
Hello. I'm Mae Whitman.
267
00:10:46,690 --> 00:10:47,853
I'm Jane Levy.
268
00:10:47,934 --> 00:10:50,136
And today, we will be discussing...
269
00:10:50,187 --> 00:10:52,416
- Murderous Row.
- Oh.
270
00:10:52,478 --> 00:10:53,439
You'll like it, though.
271
00:10:53,508 --> 00:10:55,580
It's very cool and stressful and cool.
272
00:10:55,644 --> 00:10:57,679
You like murder? Me too.
273
00:10:57,799 --> 00:11:00,004
[laughs]
274
00:11:00,070 --> 00:11:01,505
It's 1924.
275
00:11:01,573 --> 00:11:03,408
Maurine Dallas Watkins,
276
00:11:03,474 --> 00:11:04,975
she's just graduated from Yale,
277
00:11:05,042 --> 00:11:06,543
and then she was like, "You know what?
278
00:11:06,611 --> 00:11:08,846
Fuck this. I want to tell the truth."
279
00:11:08,912 --> 00:11:11,481
She moves to Chicago,
this town of jazz...
280
00:11:11,549 --> 00:11:12,884
- Jazz.
- Drink.
281
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:14,985
- Drink.
- Crime.
282
00:11:15,052 --> 00:11:17,154
And she started working
for the "Chicago Tribune."
283
00:11:17,222 --> 00:11:19,457
- And she was like, "Yeah."
- [laughs]
284
00:11:19,523 --> 00:11:21,858
"I got a job at the 'Chicago Tribune, '
285
00:11:21,925 --> 00:11:26,896
and I'm gonna investigate
what I gotta investigate."
286
00:11:26,964 --> 00:11:29,666
That's what she really wanted to do.
287
00:11:29,733 --> 00:11:32,103
- Hell, yeah.
- Right?
288
00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:34,506
And then she comes upon
this editor, who is a man.
289
00:11:34,573 --> 00:11:37,675
The editor was like, "Maurine,
I'm going to assign you
290
00:11:37,742 --> 00:11:41,045
to the Cooks County Jail Murderous Row,
291
00:11:41,112 --> 00:11:44,549
which is where they keep the
women who are awaiting trial."
292
00:11:44,616 --> 00:11:46,417
And he was like, "You're a woman.
293
00:11:46,483 --> 00:11:49,586
"Nobody else wants to report
on this shit.
294
00:11:49,654 --> 00:11:53,257
"It's a little boring
for our male reporters.
295
00:11:53,324 --> 00:11:56,127
"I care about the goods.
296
00:11:56,193 --> 00:11:58,129
So give me the goods, baby."
297
00:11:58,194 --> 00:12:00,198
And she was like, "I got you, bitch.
298
00:12:00,263 --> 00:12:02,298
I got you."
299
00:12:02,366 --> 00:12:05,103
She goes to Murderous Row
in Cooks County Jail.
300
00:12:05,170 --> 00:12:08,906
She meets Sabella Nitti,
an Italian immigrant
301
00:12:08,973 --> 00:12:11,307
who is accused of murdering her husband.
302
00:12:11,374 --> 00:12:13,043
She says, "He hurt me.
303
00:12:13,109 --> 00:12:16,413
I-I did kill him,
but because he hurt me."
304
00:12:16,481 --> 00:12:18,750
And Maurine is like, "This is it."
305
00:12:18,816 --> 00:12:21,084
Maurine went to her editor and was like,
306
00:12:21,151 --> 00:12:23,588
"I heard about Sabella Nitti."
307
00:12:23,654 --> 00:12:25,790
And he was like, "No, bitch.
308
00:12:25,857 --> 00:12:28,626
Like, I don't care about Sabella Nitti."
309
00:12:28,693 --> 00:12:31,696
The problem was, he wanted
something juicy, this editor.
310
00:12:31,762 --> 00:12:33,598
- Loves juice.
- He said to her, "Look.
311
00:12:33,665 --> 00:12:36,901
"I need you to bring me
something juicy as hell.
312
00:12:36,968 --> 00:12:39,103
Really, like, get excited
about Murderous Row."
313
00:12:39,170 --> 00:12:40,472
Like, you can say some sexy shit.
314
00:12:40,537 --> 00:12:43,640
Like, you can, like...
315
00:12:43,708 --> 00:12:45,108
Yeah, you know what I mean?
316
00:12:45,175 --> 00:12:47,645
- [laughs]
- [laughs]
317
00:12:47,712 --> 00:12:49,781
And then all of a sudden,
318
00:12:49,847 --> 00:12:51,516
Belva Gaertner is arrested.
319
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:54,517
She was a cabaret dancer.
320
00:12:54,584 --> 00:12:58,955
She was like, "Yes, my lover
was found sprawled out,
321
00:12:59,022 --> 00:13:03,862
dead, as hell, across
the front seat of a car."
322
00:13:03,927 --> 00:13:06,397
She was like, "Look, I'm just a woman,
323
00:13:06,464 --> 00:13:11,736
and I was basically possessed
by the devil, which is jazz."
324
00:13:11,802 --> 00:13:14,871
Meanwhile, Maurine was like,
"Oh, my God. Yes, yes, yes.
325
00:13:14,939 --> 00:13:17,742
"This is exactly what I need
to make my career.
326
00:13:17,809 --> 00:13:20,411
"I love goss. I love juice.
327
00:13:20,478 --> 00:13:22,280
My editor's gonna eat this up."
328
00:13:22,347 --> 00:13:24,682
Yeah. So that was her first big break.
329
00:13:24,748 --> 00:13:27,418
So then, within, like, I don't
even know how many minutes.
330
00:13:27,484 --> 00:13:29,620
- Not many.
- Not many.
331
00:13:29,686 --> 00:13:33,991
She gets this other lady, Beulah Annan.
332
00:13:34,059 --> 00:13:36,627
- Mm-hmm.
- And Beulah Annan's arrested.
333
00:13:36,694 --> 00:13:40,231
She has had a lover's spat.
334
00:13:40,297 --> 00:13:42,766
And they both reach for a pistol,
335
00:13:42,834 --> 00:13:46,369
and fucking our babe, Beulah,
was like, "Whew! Pow!"
336
00:13:46,436 --> 00:13:48,038
[laughs]
337
00:13:48,106 --> 00:13:50,041
And while he was laying on the floor,
338
00:13:50,108 --> 00:13:52,175
she played "Hula-Lu," and she danced
339
00:13:52,242 --> 00:13:53,844
around his grave, and she made
340
00:13:53,911 --> 00:13:56,513
multiple cocktails, and she drank them.
341
00:13:56,579 --> 00:14:02,552
Beulah said, "I was taken
ahold of by drinking alcohol
342
00:14:02,619 --> 00:14:05,889
and listening to jazz music,
and like, fuck me, I guess."
343
00:14:05,957 --> 00:14:07,391
It was just, like, a bunch of bullshit.
344
00:14:07,458 --> 00:14:09,827
But Maurine is like, "Oh, my God,
345
00:14:09,893 --> 00:14:11,695
I'm getting the juice that my editor
346
00:14:11,762 --> 00:14:13,598
asked me for.
347
00:14:13,664 --> 00:14:15,466
Hell, yes."
348
00:14:15,532 --> 00:14:17,502
The newspaper comes out,
and these women realize
349
00:14:17,568 --> 00:14:19,704
right away, "We have got to look good,
350
00:14:19,771 --> 00:14:22,673
because that's what this shit
is about, is looking good."
351
00:14:22,739 --> 00:14:24,709
And they're like, "If I cut my hair
352
00:14:24,776 --> 00:14:27,911
and I do my mascara right,"
"And I do my eyeliner right,"
353
00:14:27,978 --> 00:14:29,414
"And I move my hips right,"
354
00:14:29,479 --> 00:14:31,281
"And I cry at the right moment,"
355
00:14:31,348 --> 00:14:35,752
"They are not going to
convict... [hiccups] ...me."
356
00:14:35,819 --> 00:14:37,921
So they start a beauty school
357
00:14:37,988 --> 00:14:39,690
within Murderous Row.
358
00:14:39,757 --> 00:14:41,224
Did they call it anything?
359
00:14:41,291 --> 00:14:44,262
They called it
MurderousRowBeautySchool.com.
360
00:14:44,329 --> 00:14:45,829
They were ahead of their time.
361
00:14:45,896 --> 00:14:47,198
And they're, like, taking these women
362
00:14:47,276 --> 00:14:49,600
that are, like, "Ha-ha,
I just fucking ripped
363
00:14:49,666 --> 00:14:50,901
somebody's head off yesterday,"
364
00:14:50,968 --> 00:14:52,103
and they're like, "I know,
365
00:14:52,170 --> 00:14:53,714
but, like, sit down, sweetie."
366
00:14:53,768 --> 00:14:57,175
These girls are actually
incredibly intelligent,
367
00:14:57,241 --> 00:14:59,877
because they know
how to work their angle
368
00:14:59,944 --> 00:15:02,881
and they're like... [hiccups]
369
00:15:02,946 --> 00:15:05,281
Um... I forget.
370
00:15:05,348 --> 00:15:08,618
[laughs]
371
00:15:08,685 --> 00:15:12,623
- Can we play "Hula-Lu"?
- I'm gonna die.
372
00:15:12,690 --> 00:15:14,358
All right, I'm dead.
373
00:15:14,405 --> 00:15:17,772
Wait, well, you just killed her
so you dance around us?
374
00:15:17,828 --> 00:15:19,664
[laughter]
375
00:15:19,729 --> 00:15:20,964
[old-timey music playing]
376
00:15:21,031 --> 00:15:22,765
She did her dancing
377
00:15:22,843 --> 00:15:25,269
[mumbles indistinctly] Is it over yet?
378
00:15:25,335 --> 00:15:28,638
[laughter]
379
00:15:28,705 --> 00:15:29,907
Stay tuned...
380
00:15:29,973 --> 00:15:31,309
For more...
381
00:15:31,376 --> 00:15:34,079
- "Drunk History."
- No, I feel good.
382
00:15:36,714 --> 00:15:39,117
Don't you think this story
is the coolest story ever?
383
00:15:39,184 --> 00:15:42,586
Like, I better tell it now.
384
00:15:42,652 --> 00:15:43,660
Let's keep going.
385
00:15:43,704 --> 00:15:44,772
You remember where we left off?
386
00:15:44,847 --> 00:15:46,035
Is it good? You like it?
387
00:15:46,097 --> 00:15:47,667
- I don't know.
- Cheers to you both.
388
00:15:47,706 --> 00:15:48,863
- Give us one clue.
- Can't tell.
389
00:15:48,887 --> 00:15:50,152
Where did we leave off?
390
00:15:50,221 --> 00:15:51,964
Uh...
391
00:15:52,762 --> 00:15:54,798
[laughs]
392
00:15:54,866 --> 00:15:58,602
So it was 1924, and Maurine
goes to Murderous Row,
393
00:15:58,669 --> 00:16:02,606
and she interviews the girls
before they go to trial.
394
00:16:02,672 --> 00:16:05,609
They were like, "I'm sorry,
but we love jazz and drink."
395
00:16:05,676 --> 00:16:09,546
"We love ourselves.
We love to do the thing."
396
00:16:09,613 --> 00:16:11,348
And they were like, "A woman would never
397
00:16:11,415 --> 00:16:13,351
"kill a man, because a man would never
398
00:16:13,417 --> 00:16:16,289
mean enough to a woman for her
to just murder somebody."
399
00:16:16,352 --> 00:16:17,391
Obviously!
400
00:16:17,461 --> 00:16:20,690
And Maurine is like, "These
women are obviously guilty.
401
00:16:20,757 --> 00:16:22,727
"The evidence is laid out on the table.
402
00:16:22,794 --> 00:16:24,262
These women are guilty."
403
00:16:24,328 --> 00:16:25,829
But she didn't care about that.
404
00:16:25,896 --> 00:16:27,497
So she's, like, writing these stories
405
00:16:27,565 --> 00:16:31,068
that are, like,
super tabloid-y, salacious.
406
00:16:31,135 --> 00:16:32,736
Anything these women had to say
407
00:16:32,802 --> 00:16:34,995
got spun into this big juicy circus.
408
00:16:35,034 --> 00:16:36,770
Okay, so we're at the trial,
409
00:16:36,836 --> 00:16:39,739
after months of covering this story,
410
00:16:39,807 --> 00:16:42,677
and the girls have
their, like, sideways caps
411
00:16:42,743 --> 00:16:45,079
and their nice blue wide-set...
412
00:16:45,144 --> 00:16:47,781
[hiccups] ...eyes
and their skinny little noses.
413
00:16:47,847 --> 00:16:51,284
And their lawyer, etcetera, was like,
414
00:16:51,351 --> 00:16:53,953
"My client is pregnant."
415
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:55,522
They weren't pregnant,
but they were like,
416
00:16:55,589 --> 00:16:57,191
"I am pregnant.
417
00:16:57,258 --> 00:16:58,992
My lawyer told me to say I'm pregnant."
418
00:16:59,059 --> 00:17:00,828
And the reporters are like, "Oh, my God,
419
00:17:00,894 --> 00:17:02,162
look at these girls and their haircuts
420
00:17:02,228 --> 00:17:03,696
and their manicures.
421
00:17:03,763 --> 00:17:04,997
Like, they could never commit a crime,
422
00:17:05,064 --> 00:17:06,365
"and on top of that,
423
00:17:06,433 --> 00:17:08,802
they might be carrying a baby."
424
00:17:08,869 --> 00:17:11,839
And Maurine is like...
[imitating keys clacking]
425
00:17:11,905 --> 00:17:14,041
Typing on the computer
that's not invented yet?
426
00:17:14,108 --> 00:17:15,908
[both laugh]
427
00:17:15,975 --> 00:17:18,579
She's like, "Sexy ladies do the thing
428
00:17:18,646 --> 00:17:20,147
that you think
that they never could do."
429
00:17:20,214 --> 00:17:21,648
I mean, Maurine got caught up.
430
00:17:21,715 --> 00:17:24,217
Let's not mince words.
431
00:17:24,284 --> 00:17:26,320
Maurine got fucking caught up
432
00:17:26,386 --> 00:17:28,321
in the sexiness of the whole thing.
433
00:17:28,388 --> 00:17:31,257
Like, her agenda wasn't
necessarily to sensationalize,
434
00:17:31,323 --> 00:17:35,228
but the stories were so, like,
dramatic that she had to.
435
00:17:35,294 --> 00:17:37,563
At the end of the trial, they were like,
436
00:17:37,630 --> 00:17:43,602
"Look. I was very ill
because someone named jazz.com
437
00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:47,240
came to me and I feel concerned
438
00:17:47,308 --> 00:17:50,410
and I feel taken advantage of.
439
00:17:50,476 --> 00:17:54,915
I feel that I was someone
who explored the realm
440
00:17:54,982 --> 00:17:57,951
too heavily and I need help,"
441
00:17:58,017 --> 00:18:02,288
and like, that woman was like,
"I can't, I... etcetera,
442
00:18:02,356 --> 00:18:03,523
"Altadena, etcetera.
443
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:05,426
Pasadena, etcetera."
444
00:18:05,492 --> 00:18:08,829
[laughs]
445
00:18:08,895 --> 00:18:11,165
And the boys were like,
"You're right. You're right.
446
00:18:11,232 --> 00:18:12,633
"We don't care whether you did it.
447
00:18:12,698 --> 00:18:14,267
"You're so hot. We want to fuck you.
448
00:18:14,333 --> 00:18:15,835
We don't care."
449
00:18:15,902 --> 00:18:17,270
Which makes sense.
450
00:18:17,337 --> 00:18:19,706
Juries back then, all male.
451
00:18:19,773 --> 00:18:21,207
And the men were basically like,
452
00:18:21,273 --> 00:18:24,244
"Okay, let me just tell you this.
453
00:18:24,311 --> 00:18:26,446
"You have spent four months
in the system.
454
00:18:26,513 --> 00:18:28,081
"Four months is too long.
455
00:18:28,148 --> 00:18:29,882
"Get the hell out of here!
456
00:18:29,949 --> 00:18:32,318
You better go home
and raise some babies.
457
00:18:32,385 --> 00:18:33,476
You cuties."
458
00:18:33,539 --> 00:18:35,789
And they were like,
"I can't wait to go!"
459
00:18:35,856 --> 00:18:37,891
And they were like, "I will go, mwah."
460
00:18:37,957 --> 00:18:39,892
And they basically, these women got off
461
00:18:39,958 --> 00:18:42,763
after four months,
after these fucking women
462
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:46,299
murdered their lovers in cold blood.
463
00:18:46,366 --> 00:18:49,103
Maurine, after this happened,
she took a step back,
464
00:18:49,169 --> 00:18:53,073
and she said to herself,
"I have been a part of freeing
465
00:18:53,139 --> 00:18:55,943
"these clearly guilty women who used
466
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:59,780
"their feminine wiles to get free.
467
00:18:59,847 --> 00:19:01,815
That was my big fault."
468
00:19:01,881 --> 00:19:07,553
Meanwhile, Sabella Nitti... got hanged.
469
00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:11,457
And it was the first time
that Maurine was like,
470
00:19:11,524 --> 00:19:14,927
"I'm sorry. I did the wrong thing.
471
00:19:14,994 --> 00:19:17,831
This is fucked up.
I fucked this situation up."
472
00:19:17,898 --> 00:19:22,802
So, Maurine, women's groups,
and Sabella Nitti's lawyers,
473
00:19:22,869 --> 00:19:25,237
came together to change the laws,
474
00:19:25,304 --> 00:19:29,708
and they made it possible
for women to be on juries.
475
00:19:29,775 --> 00:19:33,312
And then Maurine was like,
"I gotta talk about this,
476
00:19:33,379 --> 00:19:35,349
like, thing that happened to me,"
477
00:19:35,416 --> 00:19:37,184
and she wrote a play called...
478
00:19:37,251 --> 00:19:39,485
- [both hiccup]
- You okay?
479
00:19:39,552 --> 00:19:41,388
I can't wait to release my hiccups.
480
00:19:41,455 --> 00:19:42,723
You can let them out.
481
00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:45,392
Not yet. How am I ever... not yet!
482
00:19:45,457 --> 00:19:47,494
[laughs]
483
00:19:47,561 --> 00:19:50,464
So she wrote a play... [hiccups]
484
00:19:50,531 --> 00:19:52,866
It was called "The Brave
Little Women," which...
485
00:19:52,933 --> 00:19:54,968
[hiccups] It's hard to understand
486
00:19:55,034 --> 00:19:58,071
because it sounds like
"Little Women," but it's not.
487
00:19:58,138 --> 00:19:59,805
[hiccups]
488
00:19:59,872 --> 00:20:02,942
So years and years and years
after she died,
489
00:20:03,008 --> 00:20:05,478
Bob Fosse got the rights for her play
490
00:20:05,545 --> 00:20:07,980
and then made it into "Chicago,"
491
00:20:08,057 --> 00:20:10,859
which turned into
the longest-running musical
492
00:20:10,917 --> 00:20:13,085
on Broadway of all time.
493
00:20:13,152 --> 00:20:15,554
What is the moral of the story?
494
00:20:15,621 --> 00:20:17,624
That's a very good question.
495
00:20:17,690 --> 00:20:19,158
[laughs]
496
00:20:19,225 --> 00:20:22,662
Women can be villains
497
00:20:22,729 --> 00:20:26,199
just as much as they can be heroes.
498
00:20:26,265 --> 00:20:28,368
- However...
- However...
499
00:20:28,435 --> 00:20:32,304
"Chicago" went to win best picture
500
00:20:32,371 --> 00:20:35,240
at the motherfucking Oscars!
501
00:20:35,308 --> 00:20:38,412
Okay? So sit down, shut up,
502
00:20:38,477 --> 00:20:40,717
- and appreciate that.
