should know how impossible that is

825

01:
34:15,690 -- 01:34:18,124

I'm not Isabel Two

826

01:
34:28,203 -- 01:34:30,296

June 2, 1921

827

01:
34:30,371 -- 01:34:31,861

Dear Tristan:

828

01:
34:31,940 -- 01:34:35,467

I was so pleased to hear

of your coming marriage

829

01:
34:37,378 -- 01:34:39,209

Your father must be very happy

830

01:
34:40,181 -- 01:34:42,479

Isabel Two is like

a daughter to him

831

01:
34:44,219 -- 01:34:47,154

as she was named

after your own mother

832

01:
34:47,221 -- 01:34:51,158

It seems as though it was always

meant to be, doesn't it?

833

01:
34:57,065 -- 01:34:58,691

Damnation

834

01:
36:28,989 -- 01:36:30,923

Samuel Decker Ludlow

835

01:
36:39,166 -- 01:36:41,100

Dearest Tristan:

836

01:
36:43,337 -- 01:36:46,601

Alfred and I were delighted

to hear of your son's birth

837

01:
36:46,673 -- 01:36:50,608

We hoped for a child of our own,

but of that I despair

838

01:
36:51,677 -- 01:36:53,942

I know Alfred thinks of you often

839

01:
36:54,014 -- 01:36:57,450

I look forward to the day when we

all might see one another again

840

01:
37:01,521 -- 01:37:04,285

Your son bears a proud

and noble name

841

01:
37:04,357 -- 01:37:06,121

I know he will live up to it

842

01:
37:11,031 -- 01:37:13,294

Please give my love

to Isabel Two

843

01:
37:13,366 -- 01:37:15,961

and to your father

and everyone else

844

01:
37:16,036 -- 01:37:18,800

Yours always, Susannah

845

01:
37:29,883 -- 01:37:32,545

Evening, gentlemen

846

01:
37:32,619 -- 01:37:35,416

Been meaning to talk to you

about one or two things

847

01:
37:35,488 -- 01:37:36,978

By all means

848

01:
37:37,056 -- 01:37:39,525

As you know perfectly well

849

01:
37:39,592 -- 01:37:41,527

we handle the liquor around here

850

01:
37:41,594 -- 01:37:45,656

Now, you've been

a small-time operator

851

01:
37:45,731 -- 01:37:47,722

An amateur, frankly

852

01:
37:47,800 -- 01:37:51,668

Lately, your shipments

have been getting a little fat

853

01:
37:51,737 -- 01:37:54,228

and my patience

has been getting a little thin

854

01:
37:54,307 -- 01:37:58,175

So the next time

you get in our way

855

01:
37:58,244 -- 01:37:59,734

will be the last time

856

01:
38:00,913 -- 01:38:03,882

Excuse me

I appreciate it

857

01:
38:03,950 -- 01:38:06,714

Perhaps you're wondering

why you're not dead already

858

01:
38:07,787 -- 01:38:10,517

Because your brother

is Congressman Ludlow

859

01:
38:10,590 -- 01:38:12,853

And that's it

That's all

860

01:
38:19,432 -- 01:38:21,093

Kenneth Thomas

861

01:
38:47,792 -- 01:38:49,453

Can't you just say hello?

862

01:
39:03,309 -- 01:39:07,268

- Hello, Alfred

- Hello, Tristan

863

01:
39:15,988 -- 01:39:18,422

- Who's this young man?

- This is Samuel

864

01:
39:25,463 -- 01:39:27,432

She's beautiful

865

01:
39:33,438 -- 01:39:34,962

Let me see

866

01:
39:43,215 -- 01:39:47,743

- Who is this lady?

- I'm your Aunt Susannah

867

01:
39:50,689 -- 01:39:54,523

I used to know your Uncle Samuel

who died in the war

868

01:
39:58,663 -- 01:40:01,928

- You look like him

- That's what Grandpa says

869

01:
40:05,035 -- 01:40:08,267

He was very brave and very good

870

01:
40:08,340 -- 01:40:10,035

Grandpa says that too

871

01:
40:10,108 -- 01:40:13,805

Grandpa says I can have

Uncle Samuel's gun when I'm bigger

872

01:
40:13,878 -- 01:40:15,743

Would you come and see it?

873

01:
40:22,052 -- 01:40:24,179

I'd love to

874

01:
40:24,256 -- 01:40:26,190

Sometime

875

01:
40:28,727 -- 01:40:32,457

- He's a fine boy

- He is

876

01:
40:34,232 -- 01:40:39,067

- How is Father? Well?

- As well as can be expected

877

01:
40:44,074 -- 01:40:46,703

- I wish...

- Pardon the intrusion

878

01:
40:48,480 -- 01:40:51,915

Excuse me

We're ready for your speech now

879

01:
40:51,983 -- 01:40:53,814

I'll be there in a minute

880

01:
40:53,885 -- 01:40:55,215

Thank you

881

01:
41:10,100 -- 01:41:13,433

- We'll meet again soon?

- I'd like that

882

01:
41:45,102 -- 01:41:46,626

Watch this

883

01:
41:54,011 -- 01:41:55,842

Go and get Tynert

884

01:
42:00,484 -- 01:42:02,748

I think you missed a bump, Stab

885

01:
42:21,572 -- 01:42:22,833

Jesus!

886

01:
42:22,905 -- 01:42:25,602

Sir, we have information

that you're transporting goods

887

01:
42:25,676 -- 01:42:27,666

in violation

of the Volstead Act

888

01:
42:27,745 -- 01:42:30,645

If you mean a case of Irish whiskey

for my father, I am

889

01:
42:30,713 -- 01:42:32,305

Give it up

890

01:
42:33,282 -- 01:42:34,840

He'll be disappointed

891

01:
43:06,949 -- 01:43:08,941

Hold him down

892

01:
43:10,386 -- 01:43:12,183

Let's get out of here

893

01:
43:12,255 -- 01:43:15,622

- There's an envelope in his pocket

- Now

894

01:
43:21,164 -- 01:43:26,329

My brother told you

to stay out of our way

895

01:
43:31,441 -- 01:43:33,170

Put him in the car

896

01:
45:12,173 -- 01:45:14,937

- I don't want to see him

- Father...

897

01:
45:15,010 -- 01:45:16,443

I don't want to see him

898

01:
45:37,032 -- 01:45:38,590

I'm so very sorry

899

01:
45:45,706 -- 01:45:48,471

Father won't see me, even now?

900

01:
45:50,045 -- 01:45:53,845

He blames the government

for Isabel's...

901

01:
46:01,222 -- 01:46:03,655

There's something

we have to talk about

902

01:
46:05,559 -- 01:46:09,290

The officer you beat

almost died

903

01:
46:10,564 -- 01:46:12,430

Now, everyone understands

904

01:
46:14,568 -- 01:46:17,504

but you'll have to plead guilty

905

01:
46:17,571 -- 01:46:19,061

serve 30 days

906

01:
46:19,140 -- 01:46:21,869

And the one who shot his gun?

907

01:
46:24,245 -- 01:46:26,179

He was

908

01:
46:27,414 -- 01:46:28,972

reprimanded

909

01:
46:29,950 -- 01:46:33,886

- The O'Banions?

- Nothing

910

01:
46:34,923 -- 01:46:36,685

You have to let it go

911

01:
46:36,757 -- 01:46:40,854

It was a terrible, tragic accident

912

01:
46:40,929 -- 01:46:43,522

Listen to me

913

01:
46:43,597 -- 01:46:46,361

You let this go now

914

01:
46:46,433 -- 01:46:48,867

You got in over your head

915

01:
46:53,440 -- 01:46:55,340

I'll need a minute

916

01:
47:37,017 -- 01:47:38,951

I'm so sorry

917

01:
47:41,155 -- 01:47:43,248

We all loved her

918

01:
47:46,427 -- 01:47:47,950

How are you?

919

01:
47:49,630 -- 01:47:51,063

I'm fine

920

01:
47:59,005 -- 01:48:00,939

We never get to see you

921

01:
48:06,679 -- 01:48:09,615

I gave a speech the other day

922

01:
48:09,682 -- 01:48:11,946

- You did?

- Yes

923

01:
48:12,018 -- 01:48:14,612

My first public engagement

924

01:
48:23,029 -- 01:48:27,467

It was on the responsibilities

of women in...

925

01:
48:34,040 -- 01:48:35,974

It's good to see you

926

01:
49:02,401 -- 01:49:04,232

I'm sorry

927

01:
49:13,079 -- 01:49:15,877

I still sometimes dream

928

01:
49:15,948 -- 01:49:18,314

that I'm the mother

of your children

929

01:
49:28,928 -- 01:49:30,520

I wanted her to die

930

01:
49:33,599 -- 01:49:36,659

Maybe I even wanted Samuel to die
