Chapter 17

00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:17,100
The Wild Wind

4
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:23,260
His paw was a wild one, and had taught him and his brothers how to howl at the west Texas

5
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:28,020
moon before they learned to walk.

6
00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:33,680
His mom put tequila in his bottle, raising him out there in the dusty sage, chasing down

7
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,060
rabbits with his bare hands, tearing their hide right off the muscle.

8
00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:45,100
If his paw said bring five rabbits home boy, then you brought only two, his paw broke a

9
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:46,100
rib.

10
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:48,540
If he caught none, his paw broke five.

11
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:54,060
It's no exaggeration to say he learned really fast that he ought to catch six when his paw

12
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:57,220
said five.

13
00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:05,100
You see, he had a legacy to live up to, for he was a wild one.

14
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:09,140
Legend is, ma said, we cursed with Injun blood.

15
00:02:09,140 --> 00:02:11,500
The wild ones have a passion for rabbits.

16
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:16,100
Hell, it's a damned obsession that fur.

17
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:24,100
The flesh that lies between leaves them snarling, sniffing, foaming at the mouth.

18
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,420
Waiting for a taste.

19
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:37,060
But it was the day he spotted a fox, a silvery, sexful fox that changed everything.

20
00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:42,660
His heart pounded out of his sunburnt chest, his lips trembling until he sprung forth and

21
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:50,380
gave chase, an adrenaline he had never felt before, springing forth from the brush.

22
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:57,180
However, fox was fast and ran with all its might, slipping through his fingers time and

23
00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:59,360
time again.

24
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,700
This left him with an emptiness, a weakness, fragility, vulnerability, and an unquenchable

25
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:11,420
thirst and hunger that shall never be resolved until he sink his teeth, his claws, his crooked

26
00:03:11,420 --> 00:03:14,180
fingers into her flesh.

27
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:18,900
And it consumed all his wicked being.

28
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:25,140
He was hooked, desperate, and shallow of breath as he watched her trot into the eastern rising

29
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:26,140
sun.

30
00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:30,660
He was still on her scent, but his knees had grown weak and he dropped and fell over in

31
00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:35,540
the dirt, sipping tequila straight out of the bottle, listening to the coyote's cry

32
00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:36,700
in the night.

33
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:42,460
As tears washed off the dust from his tarnished face, Foxy had stolen his heart, leaving him

34
00:03:42,460 --> 00:03:45,500
to perish in the crisp, searing Texas sun.

35
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:48,540
He grew weak, one beat closer to death.

36
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:53,100
He laid on his back staring up at the vastness, but all he saw was gray.

37
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:58,260
His Foxy had stolen the blue from the sky.

38
00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:03,400
Hate filled his heart, and for a wild one, hatred was strength.

39
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,680
His paw woke him with a good kick to the ribs, and the hatred grew from pain.

40
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,020
As his paw kicked him again and again, the pain refilled his tank until his hate was

41
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:19,580
full, until he could take no more of the pain of his paw's boot and jump to his feet and

42
00:04:19,580 --> 00:04:23,260
dug his own yellow Texas boots into the earth.

43
00:04:23,260 --> 00:04:52,100
It was time he head east or die.

44
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:58,740
He walked across the land where the wild ones grow like weeds, growing to become hideous

45
00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:06,980
creatures, committing hideous deeds, letting nothing get in their way with a bottle in

46
00:05:06,980 --> 00:05:07,980
hand.

47
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:14,260
He rambled through the dust and sage, step by step with Levi's full of lust.

48
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:19,740
With a watery jaw and crooked fingers, and blue eyes now as black as coal, he walked

49
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:28,440
into that blinding sun, chasing his own shadow toward dusk into the cold, dark desert night.

50
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,940
He howled with the coyotes until his yellow Texas boots fell sole up, face down in the

51
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:37,540
dry, cracked earth.

52
00:05:37,540 --> 00:05:42,620
Day after day, the rising sun found its way through his windswept bangs into his bloodshot

53
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:48,740
eyes, awakening him to a groan as he shook off the dust and slapped his liver, but not

54
00:05:48,740 --> 00:05:53,460
before turning to a tiny worm in the bottom of the bottle, and a wild hare sprung him

55
00:05:53,460 --> 00:06:05,340
to his feet once more.

56
00:06:05,340 --> 00:06:10,620
And once again, his yellow Texas boots driving him forth, only stopping for a drink and a

57
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:15,780
piss and a fight, and to skin a rabbit or two out back.

58
00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:21,060
So bleeds from a wild one's heart only booze, sex, and a spawn of darkness that crossed

59
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:26,100
the land, leaving little puffs of fur to carry away in the breeze.

60
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:31,260
A wild one will take step after step, bottle in hand, all the way to the end of time to

61
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:33,980
terrorize, and take what is for the taking.

62
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:39,380
The dark heart of its own dream consume all that is weak, to piss on all that is innocent

63
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:43,020
and pure, and to taint and curse.

64
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:47,820
In a desperate need of tequila, he followed the tracks into Kansas City until he stumbled

65
00:06:47,820 --> 00:06:50,820
upon a circus on the edge of town.

66
00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:55,340
He met a dingy fellow from Houston selling lemonade, who said they were in need of a

67
00:06:55,340 --> 00:07:00,340
tough rust about, and he looked the part, hearing that in days' time that they would

68
00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:04,920
be packing up to Crosston, Mississippi, figuring he could get a bottle a night for pulling

69
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,700
on some rope, a piece of tail here and there.

70
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:14,620
He put on a smiley face and spent the next few days and nights sipping tequila and skinning

71
00:07:14,620 --> 00:07:17,260
rabbits between shows.

72
00:07:17,260 --> 00:07:23,040
Crossing the river, foxy scent was everywhere, and it drove him to the brink of madness.

73
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,620
As the rust abouts unloaded the wagons at the asylum depot to put on a show for the

74
00:07:27,620 --> 00:07:37,780
Looney Bin, he drove the horses up the bluff, where they set up a big top.

75
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:43,060
After the show, the Wild One grabbed a last of his pay, and though he scented her close,

76
00:07:43,060 --> 00:07:45,740
he waited for the opportune moment.

77
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:50,780
And as the rest of the rust abouts loaded up the boxcars with the full bottle in hand,

78
00:07:50,780 --> 00:07:56,140
those yellow Texas boots jumped off the platform and kicked up dirt along a long, dusty road

79
00:07:56,140 --> 00:08:00,900
to the city of Grandview.

80
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:05,320
Forget the rapes and the violence committed during those countless steps a Wild One takes

81
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,420
in his short life.

82
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:11,300
I personally do not care to think of it.

83
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:16,220
I know a monster like him will walk into a decent, quiet, and peaceful town, and he will

84
00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:21,740
piss chaos all over the place, leaving a stench to last a lifetime.

85
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:26,540
In no time at all, the police were throwing him into the back of a black Maria.

86
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:31,460
The Wild One shackled in the back and drove down the road, his yellow Texas boots kicking

87
00:08:31,460 --> 00:08:33,820
and screaming in the darkness.

88
00:08:33,820 --> 00:08:36,980
They roughed him up good in his cell.

89
00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:42,260
Not knowing a Wild One loves a good beating, reminding him of his paw, and after they got

90
00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:46,860
bored of his howling, they let him loose, warning him to go on and get now.

91
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:51,660
But get he did not do, mumbling on his way out of the jailhouse.

92
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:53,700
I think I might stick around for a bit.

93
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,540
I rather like this town.

94
00:08:57,540 --> 00:09:02,780
It took him but a day or two to find a fat old rabbit to patch him up.

95
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:07,140
When in return, he skinned her and rolled her around in the stench of dread.

96
00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:11,180
Again on his feet, he made his way back to the bluff, where he threw in a smile for the

97
00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:18,820
groundskeep who gave him a job trimming roses in the garden, with their scent swirled about.

98
00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:22,100
Surrounded by nuts, he cursed them under his breath.

99
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:27,620
But then he found her right there, right there in the garden, foxy right there before him.

100
00:09:27,620 --> 00:09:38,540
And he could not believe his eyes behind those windswept sun-bleached bangs.

101
00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:44,940
As much as Dr. Zolot had admired Fanny's stoic nature, she had taken quite a toll on his

102
00:09:44,940 --> 00:09:45,940
patients.

103
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:51,460
Nonetheless, she was returned to her cottage and given yet another chance.

104
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:54,300
Fanny lost none of her popularity after her stunt.

105
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:59,500
On the contrary, seeing how the nurses were prone to admiring their more charming patients,

106
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:04,300
this most recent performance had quickly made her a celebrity across the hilltop.

107
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:09,340
Of course, no one was a bigger fan of Fanny than that of Book himself.

108
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:13,340
Whenever they crossed paths, they shared a smile.

109
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:18,260
And knowing she was Amy all along, Book had proven Fanny could trust him with her darkest

110
00:10:18,260 --> 00:10:21,020
secrets.

111
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:26,100
In time, Fanny came to terms with life on the hilltop, particularly after being outsmarted

112
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,020
by the doctor.

113
00:10:28,020 --> 00:10:33,060
She had met her match, and it may be a stretch, but I believe she perceived him a kind of

114
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:36,360
kindred spirit of sorts.

115
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,580
This change of heart, along with Cecil's concurring suggestion, she sat back and enjoyed

116
00:10:41,580 --> 00:10:46,800
the roast beef and surrendered to a life without having to keep an ever watchful eye over her

117
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,020
shoulder for the Black Maria.

118
00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:56,060
Fanny, retired from life on the lam, finally called the hilltop home.

119
00:10:56,060 --> 00:11:00,520
Apart from the dining hall, Fanny spent her days in the rose garden, and it should not

120
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,740
be an enormous surprise that the Bookbinder also found himself hastily fond of roses.

121
00:11:06,740 --> 00:11:11,400
And once in a blue moon, he caught an occasional kiss blown through those blossoms.

122
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:17,420
The two bonded and enjoyed long silent walks, gathering wildflowers or blackberries.

123
00:11:17,420 --> 00:11:20,380
Fanny would laugh as the berries bounced off Book's forehead.

124
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:25,580
Here, try again, silly, she would say, as Fanny threw one after the next until he finally

125
00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:28,020
caught one with his wide-open mouth.

126
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:29,020
Woohoo!

127
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:31,060
Fanny would shout.

128
00:11:31,060 --> 00:11:35,700
Book would lie back in the tall grass and watch as Fanny spun around, clapping her arms

129
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:39,460
gracefully with her head thrown back, face to the sky.

130
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:43,780
She was as beautiful as the breeze that flowed through her silky black hair.

131
00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:44,780
She was breathtaking.

132
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:54,140
The new guy was a looker, no doubt.

133
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:59,980
And it took no time at all for Fanny to take a liking to those sky-blue eyes.

134
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:04,740
And Book grew jealous and walked away, for Fanny needed a big catch, the one that needed

135
00:12:04,740 --> 00:12:08,020
wrestling.

136
00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:12,420
But as it turned out, the wild one was a horny dog.

137
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:18,540
And Fanny realized he would not take much wrestling at all, or so she thought.

138
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:20,980
As he jumped right out of the river onto shore.

139
00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:23,460
Wahey there, Foxy.

140
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:24,460
Fanny bit her lip.

141
00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:26,820
I knew I'd get you, he said.

142
00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:31,520
Fanny smiled, uncharacteristically looking down in her shyness.

143
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,700
She was charmed.

144
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:36,500
The cat had finally got her tongue.

145
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,420
She was stunned and grasped her trembling hand.

146
00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:43,900
And it didn't take long for the wild one to sweet talk Fanny, behind the graveyard

147
00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:50,140
home with a bottle of tequila at once, right at sundown.

148
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:52,780
She ran her fingers through his blonde bangs.

149
00:12:52,780 --> 00:12:53,780
He was dreamy.

150
00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:59,260
In his hands, all over her goose-pimpled flesh, she moaned, heavenly.

151
00:12:59,260 --> 00:13:03,260
He slobbered all over her neck as his fingers walked up her thigh.

152
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:06,660
She moaned in that way she had always detested.

153
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:12,460
But then the wild one got a little brave and spun her around.

154
00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:16,660
Shoving her face into the tree's bark, it brought it all back.

155
00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:19,860
And Fanny turned back at once and scolded him.

156
00:13:19,860 --> 00:13:23,500
But seeing how he could no longer hold back, his desire for her took over.

157
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:29,580
And he threw her to the ground, messing her dress with grass and stain.

158
00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:32,900
Fanny had had enough, and they got into a shouting match.

159
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:37,100
But nothing Fanny couldn't handle, or so she thought until he slapped her across the

160
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:40,500
face and she saw stars.

161
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:45,140
She grew silent with shock, but before he knew it, she gave him a good right hook to

162
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:46,140
the lip.

163
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:47,140
You whore!

164
00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:50,620
He yelled, grabbing her by the ankle and pulling her for the ravine.

165
00:13:50,620 --> 00:13:54,740
Fanny kicked back with her free leg and broke loose from his grip, losing her fine shoe

166
00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:57,660
in the nicks and it fell into the thicket.

167
00:13:57,660 --> 00:13:59,700
Let go of me, you fucking hick!

168
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:07,140
So she jumped to her feet and ran toward the garden as a hand landed on her shoulder.

169
00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:11,420
But when she looked up through her teary eyes, she saw a book, who grabbed her around the

170
00:14:11,420 --> 00:14:16,500
waist and lifted her from the ground and carried her to a bench amongst the roses, where he

171
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:21,500
sat beside her, holding her hand and his grasp trembling at once.

172
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:27,620
I'm okay, she said, sniffling, attempting to wipe the smeared mascara from under her

173
00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:28,620
eyes.

174
00:14:28,620 --> 00:14:32,740
Book looked at Fanny with tears of his own and wrapped his arms around her and held her

175
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:34,060
tight.

176
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:44,060
And she cried her soul out into the nook of his shoulder, where she suddenly had a vision.

177
00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:55,700
Book, his real name, it was Jacob.

178
00:14:55,700 --> 00:15:00,180
Jacob had once lived with his parents and he lived a relatively normal life, until his

179
00:15:00,180 --> 00:15:04,300
parents and younger sister died in a carriage accident.

180
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:09,060
Jacob was shy and he was especially none too good with the ladies.

181
00:15:09,060 --> 00:15:13,640
He never had a girlfriend after all, not all through his schooling years, and he rarely

182
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,740
spoke to a woman outside of his own family.

183
00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:22,820
And if it were not for their untimely death, lonely Jacob might have never talked to Daisy

184
00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:26,340
at all.

185
00:15:26,340 --> 00:15:31,500
Daisy worked as a clerk at the publishing house, where Jacob worked as a bookbinder.

186
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:32,980
She like Jacob was shy.

187
00:15:32,980 --> 00:15:37,760
However, one day Daisy found the nerve to sit beside Jacob at lunch and mustered the

188
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,940
courage to say, hello.

189
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:46,100
Jacob was beside himself and they began sitting next to one another every day in the lunch

190
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,100
room.

191
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:51,480
They didn't speak much, but they shared warm smiles in one another's company.

192
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:57,620
One day Daisy surprised Jacob when she asked if he wanted to go out for dinner Friday evening.

193
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:02,140
His first thought was that he didn't own anything nice to wear, and his concerned glance down

194
00:16:02,140 --> 00:16:06,300
at his lunch tray made her think he wasn't interested in her.

195
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,140
Never mind, what was I thinking?

196
00:16:08,140 --> 00:16:12,960
Please forgive me, I should not have been so forward.

197
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:18,140
Jacob looked up at her beautiful green eyes and said, no, I'd love to.

198
00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:22,100
He took the little money he had saved up over the years and went out and bought the thriftiest

199
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:27,100
suit he could afford and a brand new pair of shiny shoes at the clothing shop down the

200
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:28,980
street from his humble home.

201
00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:33,980
A small apartment just a few blocks north of the publishing house on Chicago's west

202
00:16:33,980 --> 00:16:35,900
side.

203
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:40,620
As Friday night arrived, Jacob showed up a half hour early to the corner of Jackson and

204
00:16:40,620 --> 00:16:46,260
Wabash, just under the elevated train where they had agreed to meet at eight.

205
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:51,660
Jacob anxiously wrung his hands, staring down at his shiny shoes as the squeaky wheels of

206
00:16:51,660 --> 00:16:55,220
the train above shed sparks from its track.

207
00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:59,620
And as the hand on his wristwatch rounded toward eight, Jacob paced anxiously about

208
00:16:59,620 --> 00:17:02,420
the corner.

209
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:06,580
When the hand struck eight, the wheels of the train pierced his eardrums.

210
00:17:06,580 --> 00:17:12,420
And then as the hand rounded well beyond eight, Jacob sat down on the curb and the shine in

211
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:16,820
his shoes seemed rather dull as the shadows grew long.

212
00:17:16,820 --> 00:17:22,220
However, he was patient, thinking maybe something had come up, something that she must first

213
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:27,700
attend to, that she must just be right around the corner.

214
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:33,060
He wanted desperately to see her beautiful smile, inner brunette curls and green eyes.

215
00:17:33,060 --> 00:17:37,380
He had dreamt all week of holding her hand as they walked through the streets after dinner

216
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:41,540
together, one surely neither of them could afford.

217
00:17:41,540 --> 00:17:46,180
But Daisy never turned that corner.

218
00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:52,540
And Jacob never got a chance to pay for that meal, that meal he could not afford, nor feel

219
00:17:52,540 --> 00:17:57,540
the softness of her hand, nor the smell of her perfume, as they might have leaned in

220
00:17:57,540 --> 00:17:59,860
close.

221
00:17:59,860 --> 00:18:04,860
But after waiting two long hours, Jacob stood and walked home, scuffing the soles of his

222
00:18:04,860 --> 00:18:13,700
shoes along the long walk, imagining she must have changed her mind.

223
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:18,580
Jacob sat in his small apartment over the weekend, full of dread, nervous about seeing

224
00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:20,220
her again at work on Monday.

225
00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:24,980
He even considered abandoning his duties at the publishing house and seeking employment

226
00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:31,300
elsewhere, just to spare himself the humiliation.

227
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:36,260
And yet when he arrived to work on Monday, Daisy was not at her desk, nor was she seen

228
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:41,580
anywhere about the floor, as he kept his eye keen on the lookout, neglecting the unbound

229
00:18:41,580 --> 00:19:01,900
pages stacked before him.

230
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:07,580
And just after 10 a.m., two policemen entered and took the manager into his office.

231
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:13,180
And after a brief conversation, they left, and it took no time at all for the gossip

232
00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:18,340
to spread amongst the floor, for Daisy had been found strangled to death in an alley

233
00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:25,140
Friday night, just two blocks shy of Jackson and Wabash.

234
00:19:25,140 --> 00:19:31,100
Jacob's delicate sensibilities were overcome by shock of the news, and his nerves broke

235
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:35,100
down in a matter of moments in grief.

236
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:39,900
Since no one was aware of Daisy and Jacob's growing intimacy, no one thought to make this

237
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:45,020
connection as to why he had seemingly lost his reasoning along with his ability to speak

238
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:52,380
as he dropped to the floor, curling up like a long lost child under the table.

239
00:19:52,380 --> 00:19:56,860
The manager summoned the police, and when they returned, they carried him away without

240
00:19:56,860 --> 00:20:02,500
ever taking note of his name.

241
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:09,800
The publishing house had lost two employees that day, an office clerk to the city morgue

242
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:18,200
and a book binder to the city poorhouse, where all the crazies were sent, where their stories

243
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:47,860
were utterly forgotten.
