for money.

I...I let him use me.

And I stay with him.

And I'm ashamed.

God punishes you for

your sins, my child.

I know. I know.

I know I do not go to heaven.

My child, does the shepherd

not rejoice even more

when the lost lamb returns to the fold?

All souls can be saved.

You must continue to

have faith in your own salvation.

But you must find a way

to leave that man.

So maybe I go to Hell.

Hi.

Is Bruno here?

No.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I thought you had left.

Well, I'm back.

What happened?

Good things.

So I was on tour,

and made as far as New Jersey.

I got into a disagreement

with the promoters

and couldn't come to terms.

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

I wanted to see you.

And I had to see you.

To share the most magnificent news.

You should go.

Bruno is at his lawyer.

- But he will come back very soon.

- Don't worry, don't worry about Bruno.

Yes, you should go.

He has a gun.

- A gun?

- Yes.

Ewa, we have to get rid of it.

He's not thinking straight.

Where is it?

Under the night table.

This breeds nothing but sorrow.

All right, so listen.

I fell on some luck.

I won playing cards on the train,

and again last night.

So I have some money

coming to me, a lot of it.

I'm gonna help you get your sister.

And maybe we can all go out west?

Yes.

That's very kind.

You don't believe me.

We can talk tomorrow.

- Where will you be?

- I'll come find you.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yes.

Tell them to bring it up all

the way next time to my place.

They're getting lazy.

Go. Go.

- Hello.

- Hello.

I was thinking about you.

Ewa, I know I've given you

every reason to distrust me.

And I have regrets.

But I'm going to go tomorrow

morning to Ellis Island

and get you a visitors

pass to see your sister.

My contacts there tell me

she's recovering quite well.

And maybe you can see

her with greater frequency.

Bruno.

I'm sorry, Ewa.

I couldn't leave.

- Not without teaching him a little lesson.

- Ewa...

You are with him?

He said he can help me

with my sister. He has money.

He couldn't possibly

have that much money.

What are you thinking?

I'm the one with the connections.

Yeah, well things have changed, Bruno.

Ewa. You have known him for a few days.

Do you think he is going to help you?

He is going to give you money?

Ewa...

No.

- Don't please.

- It's okay.

Don't do this.

- It's okay.

- No, put it down.

He needs to hear this.

- You don't have to. Please.

- Bruno.

I want you to tell Ewa

that she's free to go now.

You have never been a prisoner.

You understand? Listen to me.

That's all you have to say to her.

Come on.

It's okay.

Come on, you can say it.

Come on.

Tell her she's free to go.

Tell her she's free to go.

That's all you have to say.

And we'll both be gone.

I thought I was helping you.

Just say, "Ewa,

you're free to go."

And you'll never see my face again.

I'll vanish.

- One, two...

- I was hoping...

Aah! It's empty.

What did you do?

Why?

What did you do?

He was going to kill me.

Ewa, it's a trick.

- It is a trick. Do you understand?

- What did you do?

Emil, get up!

How horrible. How horrible.

Emil.

Oh God.

Stay back.

No, no. Don't move him.

Emil...

- I'm sorry.

- Stay back.

This is my fault.

This is my fault.

I told him about the gun.

- I told him where it was.

- No. No. It was an accident.

Listen to me. If you get mixed

up in this, you'll never get out.

You'll never get free.

You understand?

So I take care of this.

You go in the back.

You go back, you hide. Don't

answer the door for anybody.

Ewa, what are you doing?

Go back. Go back inside.

Go back.

Please, don't put him with the trash.

No.

We have to act like nothing's wrong.

Like nothing happened.

Okay? All right?

Gentlemen.

These are the daughters of the

most famous New York society.

I give you the Astor family's

wayward little girl.

Her father told her to get a job.

Or will it be the

daughter of Mister Frick?

He told her too, to get a job.

Now may I please present

heiress to Vanderbilt fortune.

Driven by her own chauffeur.

She arrived in the lap of luxury.

What's the matter, honey?

You don't feel well?

- Ewa. Can you stand up?

- No.

- All right, you... up, up.

- I'm not ready.

They are ready.

J.P. Morgan's prized progeny.

What is it?

Freeze! Police! Stop right there!

There she is!

Stop that f***ing whore.

Come on!

Get that polack b*tch!

Come on.

Come on.

Open, you f***ing thing! Open!

- I'm too slow. Leave me behind.

- No.

Split up!

- I can't.

- No, keep running!

Run! Run! Run!

You! Halt!

Whoa!

Hold on.

We ain't after you, we're after her.

That crazy Polack b*tch killed him.

Didn't she?

- What are you talking about?

- You know what the f*** I'm talking about.

No, I don't know what you're

talking about.

We have a witness.

Witness?

One of your own whores

is talking you dumb kike.

Where is she, huh?

Where is she?

You tell us where she is!

Where is she?

You're not going to talk, are you?

You got any money?

Let's see what he's got on him.

His kind don't keep it

in the bank. That's for sure.

Oh, that looks interesting.

Looks like a grand.

At least you made it worth our while.

You bring her to us tomorrow

on a silver platter

or it's your hide we're coming for.

Come on, let's get out of here.

He knows where to find us.

You have to leave.

They're looking for you.

Drink. It is opium, it's for pain.

Thank you.

You must leave.

I know.

Go.

I won't leave without my sister.

Bruno. Please.

If you have money...

I had the money for your sister.

But I didn't want you to leave me.

But now the cops took it.

They stole it from me.

So I can't help you.

And now I don't know what you can do.

Maybe I can get some.

But God will have to help me.

It's too much.

You forget.

I will get it.

Stop. Stop.

If you can, meet me in

the Ox Tail, and then pack.

I'll wait for you.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Wojtek is at home.

He's sleeping.

Auntie, please. I have to talk to you.

I need your help.

Please, Auntie. I beg you.

This is so very difficult for me to say.

Last Sunday I went to church.

For the first time in a long time.

I prayed to Mary.

I have gone through so many trials.

Has it become a sin for me to

try so hard to survive?

Auntie...

Is it a sin to want to survive,

when I have done many bad things?

Your uncle is a proud man.

I cannot change that.

I know.

I know uncle has rejected me.

But I ask you... Auntie...

to believe that I can be saved.

God has sent me

to someone so very lost,

someone who made my life a sin.

And now,

This person suffers for me.

So I am learning the

power of forgiveness.

Auntie...

I need money...

for Magda.

It is a lot of money.

But we will never come back again.

Auntie, will you help me?

Can you not forgive me?

You know Bruno, I stuck my

neck out very far for you here.

Did a lot of favors.

So you know, from now on, you and

me, we got to be strangers.
