1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,359
Speaker 1: The Seventh Daughter contains scenes of realistic violence and graphic sexuality.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: It is intended for mature listeners. Have you come seeking knowledge?

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: Do you wish to know the truth? Allow me to

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: show you. Close your eyes and follow the sound of

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: my voice. Allow it to lead you further into the past.

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: When I remove my blindfold, you may look into my eyes.

7
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Don't just look at them, look through them, and you

8
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: will see what they have seen, and all my secrets

9
00:00:51,479 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: will be revealed. The Seventh Daughter. Good, you're awake, yes, ma'am?

10
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: Clear me some room on the table. Got your cleaning done, yes, ma'am.

11
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, not bad, not bad. Now that the cleaning

12
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: is done, you can help me with some cooking. Oh good,

13
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm starring. Not for you, not for me either. We'll

14
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: eat a meal after after what after we've owned it?

15
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: What are we cooking? Medicine? We bottle it up right

16
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: here in the room. I'm miraculous, mixture of rare isles,

17
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: exotic urban divine spirit ah, a miracle drug with absolutely

18
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: no medicinal value. But but what, come on? Ask me

19
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: what you want to know? What do we do with

20
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: medicine that doesn't do anything? Sell it to people who

21
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: don't actually need it. I'm going slow so you can

22
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: see exactly how it's done, and you can learn the

23
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: proper mixture of ingredients, like cleaning the room, cooking the

24
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: medicine will be your job. Now. Once I feel it,

25
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: you cork it and glue one of these labels on

26
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: the front lotus blood. Is it like patent medicine if

27
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: you want to call it that. Sell it in a shop,

28
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: no door to door, No on the street. We do

29
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: what's called a high pitch, a high pitch from the

30
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: back of a carriage. When the sun goes down, we

31
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: light gasoline torches that hang from the ends of poles.

32
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: Dramatic lighting catch people's eyes. And I'll set up a

33
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: display of medical curiosities, shrunken heads, jar babies, tapeworms, like

34
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: a museum. Where do we do this? Wherever we can

35
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: attract a crowd. How do we attract the crowd? That

36
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: will be your job me. That's right, We're gonna attract

37
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: the crowd by putting you on display. People will look

38
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: at me. They won't know what to make of you.

39
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Why would people be interested in looking at me? We'll

40
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: make them interested. Got around good people last year City.

41
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Permit me to share what you a message your truth

42
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: and of hope, the mystery of the Caribbean island, and

43
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: the redeeming grace of our heavenly Lord. And see if

44
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: you're Jesus Christ. These marvels, mysteries, and the blessings are

45
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: personicide and the unlimited lily white flesh of one extra

46
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: ordinary child. A childhood is an ambassador of God's tender

47
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: messes and evidence of his ferruscious power. Oh is the

48
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: child who represent the power youth of which I speak.

49
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh is the embodiment of purity and perfection, filled with

50
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: the wisdom of the ages. Permit me to introduce you,

51
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: good people are Steel City to the seven daughter. By

52
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: that time we should have a crowd of a dozen

53
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: or so. And then what you perform? Perform? We'll start

54
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: with something simple, the absolute lowest form of decorin the

55
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: alphabet code. I'll list twenty six ordinary items in no

56
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: apparent order, but you'll memorize them in this particular sequence

57
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: A through Z. The alphabet is simply a means of

58
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: keeping track of their order. For example, A is this box, yes, yes, okay?

59
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: B is this pencil, C is the door, D is

60
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: the chair, got that A B C D box pencil?

61
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: Door chair? What's see the door and the box D?

62
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Now do you see change? An aggregation of urban oil

63
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: heretofore known only to the mystics and healers of the Orient.

64
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I shall now move among you and randomly point two

65
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: items in your position. Pandora, blindfolded and without any coaching whatsoever,

66
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: will accurately name these items. You there? What's that in

67
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: your hand? A walking stick? You there? Show me your yes, Pandora,

68
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: a flower in the lapel of a young gentleman. Carnation,

69
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: I believe. And what color is the carnation? White? Yes, white,

70
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: as white and pure as your virgin and soul at place.

71
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Applause is not necessary. Pandora performs for your eddie Vakisha,

72
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: not for your approven I'll be doing all the work.

73
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: I'll find the items we're looking for in the sequence

74
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: we've established. You just have to sit there and recite

75
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: your A, B c's. But if someone watches us perform

76
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: a second time, won't they figure out the pattern? That's right?

77
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: And that is why we never perform the alphabet code

78
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: the same way twice. The next day we do the

79
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: alphabet backwards. The day after, we rearrange the letters to

80
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: spell a sentence the quick brown Fox. But the alphabet

81
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: code is child's play, the lowest form of ducker in.

82
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: You know what duckering is. I assume it's like triggery. Wow,

83
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: you're more clever than you look. As quickly as we can,

84
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: will move beyond the alphabet code. I'll teach you other signals, modifiers.

85
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: I will be able to communicate names and dates. Eventually

86
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: we won't use the alphabet at all. We'll be able

87
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: to carry on separate conversations, hidden within the words everyone

88
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: else is hearing. Anyway, Once the audience is hungry for more,

89
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: I'll turn the tip and close the sale. Hide out

90
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: behind the banner and change into your dress while I

91
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: drum up the crowd you have around? What people I'm

92
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: permitted to share with? True part? I didn't realize anybody

93
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: was back there. What are you doing anyway? I'm waiting

94
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: for the show. Oh yeah, you're your Andora? Is that right? Yeah?

95
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: You're really something. Look I don't I don't mean to

96
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: get you in no trouble, but those big guys and

97
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: that pale skin, just like a baby dough and not

98
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: so much of a baby either practically a grown up

99
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: dough soft and white. Anybody ever tell you you know?

100
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: She probably don't tell you how beautiful you are? And

101
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I think we both know why that is. Tell me

102
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: what she h? What's she calling herself these days? The

103
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: gal running the show? I think she might used to

104
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: be a friend of mine. Rose, China Rose. China Rose

105
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: sounds like perfume or soap or something. I respect. That's

106
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: her stage name? What's tell me? What's your real name?

107
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: Can you tell me that? Say? China Rose is the

108
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: only name I know? Yes, huh, funny? She ever called

109
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: herself by the name? Leave the girl alone? You should

110
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: be back here, Leave us alone. I'll call the cops.

111
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: Whatever you say, duchess, I'll be watching. Who was that?

112
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: How should I know? I ever ever catch you talking

113
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: to that man or others like him? Did I not

114
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: hear your voice telling him my name? Pay attention to

115
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: your work. You let a man distract you, and he'll

116
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: destroy our act. We'll perform the word apostle just like

117
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: we planned. Yeah, yeah, yes, man, all right, then stop sulking,

118
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: clean yourself up, and I'll go drum up a crowd.

119
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: I did all that that's good. Isn't it not as

120
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: good as it seems? I spent fifty cents on bottles,

121
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: two dollars to print the labels, the rental of the wagon,

122
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: your dress, the ingredients, torches. What does that leave one

123
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: and six? What's that dollar? Oh? That's not so good.

124
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: It's a respectable beginning. We should start seeing real money

125
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: in three or four days. You you performed well, burl Oh,

126
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: thank you? How much do we need for the passage? Passage?

127
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: To what to see my father in Haley? You ask

128
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: too many questions. You do your job, allow me to

129
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: do mine. And speaking of jobs, there is one more

130
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: duty that I'll expect you to perform every evening after supper.

131
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: First light the lamp and bring me my toy, the toy,

132
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: the silver tray with the lacquered box, my toy box.

133
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: Hop you know, hop your medicine. I can survive without

134
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: it for a time, eating spoonfuls of yen she scraped

135
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: from the damper. But it's no substitute for this proper

136
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: curative restorative. Are you ill? Mm hmm? Some would say, here,

137
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: let me show you how to prepare it. Use the

138
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: knife to slice a piece of opium from the loaf.

139
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Then you take this little hook called a yen hock huh,

140
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: and as the cooked opium thickens, you gently work it

141
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: into a little ball of putty like so the little

142
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: brown pearl just like this, And then we place it

143
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: in the bowl and tilt the pipe at an angle

144
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: so the flame warms the pearl. Careful that we don't

145
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: scorch it. You just want to heat it so the

146
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: breath of the dragon will travel up the pipe. And

147
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: I turned the pearl with the yin howk, so a

148
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: new area is exposed to the heat of the lamp,

149
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: and I just breathe. Ah. Some nights I will smoke

150
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: two pipes, sometimes three, scrape the yn she into the box,

151
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: and prepare another pearl, just like I showed you. If

152
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: a smoker is not able to obtain a proper toy,

153
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: she can eat a spoonful of yen she instead. Yes

154

161
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:30,560

Speaker 1: know she's being sugar talked until it's dripping down her

164
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: neck like molasses. I'm not a woman, I'm a girl.

165
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Doesn't make any difference to them. Sooner the better, as

166
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: far as they care. Huhm. Take you away from me,

167

169
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:28,960

170
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: live the rest of your life there. M hmm. With

171
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: its ponds, it swans, the sisters lined up in a row,

172
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: Oregan music playing all the time. Oh, nothing to do

173
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: but watch the grass grow and breathe the air. Nothing

174
00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: to do but breathe during the performance. You called me

175
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: a seventh daughter? What does that mean? Old Roman knee

176
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: superstition when they say the seventh daughter can commune with spirits,

177
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: and so you shall read minds conju voices from the

178
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: grave cause spirits to rise and frolic in the dark

179
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: under my guidance and hypnotic control. I'll do all that.

180
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, it'll be just like tonight. Did you see

181
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: their faces tonight? The way the people looked at me,

182
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: It was almost as if I were some kind of freak. No,

183
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: m what were you going to say? Confidence is good,

184
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: it strengthens you. But don't believe the lies you're telling.

185
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: Don't eat the slop you're selling. Don't think of yourself

186
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: as anything other than what you are, which is what exactly,

187
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: at best, a diversion, the magician's misdirection. You're like a

188
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: dancing bear, the organ grinder's monkey in a white crept sheen,

189
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: and at worst a liar and a fraud. But it's

190
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: nothing to be ashamed of. The line between illusionist and

191
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: deceiver is a fine one, and your toes must always

192
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: touch upon it. Don't look so sad. You will find

193
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: this line of work quite rewarding. Continue to perform well,

194
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: and I'll take you to someone who can train you

195
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: in more elaborate skills, show you the real secrets, so

196
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: that maybe one day you can get your face painted

197
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: on a canvas banner, just like her, Just like her, Davina,

198
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: the woman on the canvas. Yeah? Was she? Was? She

199
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: my mother? What makes you ask that I look like her?

200
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: M h, I guess you're doing that. Did you know her? Yes?

201
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: I was told that she died when I was born.

202
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: H Did I kill her by being born? No? She

203
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: was dead already by the time they pulled you out

204
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: of her. Her life was over. Hush now sleep. Am

205
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: I a seventh daughter? Don't be silly? If you are

206
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: the seventh? Where are the other six? No? There is

207
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: only you and I and my father? What about my father? Rose?

208
00:20:46,640 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: When will we see my father? Rose? I must now

209
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: replace my blind fold. As my vision begins to fade,
