00:01:19.664 --> 00:01:21.583
[man narrating]
Cecilia was the first to go.
00:01:21.666 --> 00:01:23.752
[siren continues wailing, louder]
00:01:23.835 --> 00:01:25.378
[siren stops wailing]
00:01:25.462 --> 00:01:29.132
[ambulance radio chatter, indistinct]
00:01:30.133 --> 00:01:32.135
[water draining from tub]
00:01:40.101 --> 00:01:42.520

00:01:46.524 --> 00:01:49.527

00:02:01.873 --> 00:02:03.374
[door closes]
00:02:04.751 --> 00:02:06.961
What are you doing here, honey?
00:02:07.045 --> 00:02:09.923
You're not even old enough
to know how bad life gets.
00:02:10.673 --> 00:02:14.385
Obviously, Doctor,
you've never been a 13-year-old girl.
00:02:50.547 --> 00:02:52.525
[narrator] Everyone dates
the demise of our neighborhood
00:02:52.549 --> 00:02:55.009
from the suicides of the Lisbon girls.
00:02:56.094 --> 00:02:59.013
People saw their clairvoyance
in the wiped-out elms,
00:02:59.097 --> 00:03:00.598
the harsh sunlight,
00:03:00.682 --> 00:03:03.268
and the continuing decline
of our auto industry.
00:03:04.269 --> 00:03:07.480
Even then, as teenagers,
we tried to put the pieces together.
00:03:08.606 --> 00:03:10.400
We still can't.
00:03:10.483 --> 00:03:14.195
Now, whenever we run into each other
at business lunches or cocktail parties,
00:03:14.279 --> 00:03:17.657
we find ourselves in the corner
going over the evidence one more time.
00:03:18.908 --> 00:03:20.952
All to understand those five girls...
00:03:22.161 --> 00:03:24.789
who, after all these years,
we can't get out of our minds.
00:03:26.958 --> 00:03:30.128
Cecilia, the youngest, was 13.
00:03:32.714 --> 00:03:35.174
And Lux was 14.
00:03:37.677 --> 00:03:40.054
Bonnie was 15.
00:03:40.138 --> 00:03:42.056
Mary was 16.
00:03:45.059 --> 00:03:47.937
And Therese was 17.
00:03:51.024 --> 00:03:54.277
No one could understand how Mrs. Lisbon
and Mr. Lisbon, our math teacher,
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.738
had produced such beautiful creatures.
00:04:00.241 --> 00:04:04.287
Paul Baldino claimed to have found Cecilia
on her first attempt.
00:04:04.370 --> 00:04:06.456
Hey, I was the one who found her.
00:04:06.539 --> 00:04:09.375
[exhales] I was in the storm sewer
under my house,
00:04:09.459 --> 00:04:11.127
and there's all these tunnels.
00:04:11.210 --> 00:04:13.254
You can get into anyone's house.
00:04:13.338 --> 00:04:15.590
[narrator]
So when Paul said this, we believed him
00:04:15.673 --> 00:04:18.301
because he was the son
of Sammy "The Shark" Baldino,
00:04:18.384 --> 00:04:21.054
and we knew about his escape tunnel
that led through the sewers.
00:04:21.137 --> 00:04:24.724
So I went up, thinkin' I could see
one of those Lisbon girls takin' a shower.
00:04:24.807 --> 00:04:26.434
- Yeah.
- All right.
00:04:26.517 --> 00:04:27.727
And I walk in...
00:04:28.561 --> 00:04:30.188
and I see blood everywhere.
00:04:30.271 --> 00:04:34.609
So I turned around and went straight
for the stairs and right back up the tunnel.
00:04:35.443 --> 00:04:37.904
Had to tell you guys that story, so...
00:04:37.987 --> 00:04:39.989
I'll see you guys later, all right?
00:04:42.909 --> 00:04:44.827
[woman on phone]
I heard it was an accident.
00:04:44.911 --> 00:04:48.998
[woman 2] No, it was no accident, Joan.
Of course the parents are to blame.
00:04:49.999 --> 00:04:52.585
Well, I heard they found
the razor in the toilet.
00:04:52.669 --> 00:04:56.089
[narrator] Everyone had an opinion
as to why Cecilia had tried to kill herself.
00:04:56.172 --> 00:04:58.091
That girl didn't wanna die.
00:04:58.174 --> 00:05:00.343
She just wanted out of that house.
00:05:00.426 --> 00:05:02.845
She wanted out of that decorating scheme.
00:05:04.263 --> 00:05:05.723
[chuckles]
00:05:07.100 --> 00:05:10.353
[narrator] The most popular theory
held Dominic Palazzolo to blame.
00:05:11.312 --> 00:05:13.815
Dominic was the immigrant kid
who was staying with relatives
00:05:13.898 --> 00:05:16.776
until his family
got settled in New Mexico.
00:05:16.859 --> 00:05:19.404
He was the first boy in our neighborhood
to wear sunglasses,
00:05:19.487 --> 00:05:22.532
and within a week of his arrival
he'd fallen in love.
00:05:22.615 --> 00:05:24.158
[tennis ball hitting rackets]
00:05:24.242 --> 00:05:27.662
The object of his desire wasn't Cecilia,
but Diana Porter.
00:05:31.249 --> 00:05:32.917
[sighs]
00:05:33.001 --> 00:05:34.502
I love her.
00:05:35.294 --> 00:05:37.839
When Diana Porter
left on vacation in Switzerland,
00:05:37.922 --> 00:05:39.841
Dominic denounced God.
00:05:39.924 --> 00:05:41.092
[boy] I don't know!
00:05:41.175 --> 00:05:46.180
And to prove the validity of his love,
he jumped off the roof of his relatives' house.
00:05:48.391 --> 00:05:50.143
[mouths words]
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.188
[shrubbery rustling]
00:06:05.783 --> 00:06:07.410
[exhales]
00:06:08.578 --> 00:06:11.247
[clears throat]
I'm gonna show you some images.
00:06:11.914 --> 00:06:14.834
And, uh, you tell me...
00:06:16.961 --> 00:06:18.838
what they remind you of.
00:06:20.381 --> 00:06:22.050
Okay?
00:06:38.816 --> 00:06:40.234
A banana.
00:06:46.491 --> 00:06:47.909
A swamp.
00:06:57.460 --> 00:06:59.295
An Afro.
00:07:05.843 --> 00:07:07.261
Mm-hmm.
00:07:18.064 --> 00:07:21.067
I don't think Cecilia
truly meant to end her life.
00:07:22.735 --> 00:07:25.196
Her act was a cry for help.
00:07:25.988 --> 00:07:27.949
I know you're very strict,
00:07:28.032 --> 00:07:30.701
but I think that Cecilia would benefit
00:07:31.452 --> 00:07:35.873
by having a social outlet
outside of the codification of school...
00:07:37.416 --> 00:07:40.419
where she could interact
with males her own age.
00:07:48.386 --> 00:07:50.114
[narrator]
Peter Sisten had helped Mr. Lisbon
00:07:50.138 --> 00:07:53.266
install a model of the solar system
in his classroom,
00:07:53.349 --> 00:07:56.477
and in return Mr. Lisbon
invited him for dinner.
00:07:56.561 --> 00:07:58.539
[Mr., Mrs. Lisbon]
Bless us, O Lord, in these, thy gifts
00:07:58.563 --> 00:08:00.898
which we are about to receive
from thy bounty.
00:08:00.982 --> 00:08:03.025
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:04.944
Amen.
00:08:05.027 --> 00:08:07.530
Lux, please.
Put your shirt on this instant.
00:08:07.613 --> 00:08:09.282
[Lux] Sorry.
00:08:13.077 --> 00:08:14.412
[Mrs. Lisbon] Thank you, dear.
00:08:14.495 --> 00:08:16.414
[Cecilia]
Can you pass the salt, please?
00:08:16.497 --> 00:08:18.708
- Ham?
- Thank you.
00:08:18.791 --> 00:08:21.502
[Mrs. Lisbon] Uh, sweetheart,
would you like some peas?
00:08:21.586 --> 00:08:23.629
- [Cecilia] I hate peas.
- Here.
00:08:24.422 --> 00:08:26.674
[Mrs. Lisbon]
That's a nice-looking ham, dear.
00:08:28.968 --> 00:08:30.511
[Mrs. Lisbon]
Oh, thank you, honey.
00:08:30.595 --> 00:08:32.305
[Bonnie]
Mmm, this is good, Mom.
00:08:32.388 --> 00:08:35.099
So, Peter, are you,
uh, an aviation enthusiast?
00:08:35.183 --> 00:08:36.976
- [clears throat]
- Well, I, uh —
00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:40.521
I don't know if I'd call myself
an enthusiast, but, uh, I like planes.
00:08:40.605 --> 00:08:42.023
- Oh, yeah?
- [Cecilia] Thanks.
00:08:42.106 --> 00:08:44.317
Ah. [chuckles]
00:08:44.400 --> 00:08:48.070
Uh, Peter, are you on —
on the football squad?
00:08:48.154 --> 00:08:51.616
Um, no, I play it,
but I'm not actually on the team.
00:08:51.699 --> 00:08:54.428
- [Mrs. Lisbon] Oh, I see.
- [Mr. Lisbon] Not a team player. [chuckles]
00:08:54.452 --> 00:08:56.996
- Do you like to wrestle?
- [coughs]
00:08:57.079 --> 00:09:00.374
- [Lux giggling]
- [Mr. Lisbon] You okay, Peter?
00:09:00.458 --> 00:09:04.545
The Brazilian turbot frog was added
to the endangered species list today.
00:09:05.796 --> 00:09:08.507
- That's the third animal this year.
- Oh, dear.
00:09:08.591 --> 00:09:11.219
The turbot frog.
Darling, I don't think I've ever heard of it.
00:09:11.302 --> 00:09:13.846
Um, excuse me.
May I use the restroom?
00:09:13.930 --> 00:09:16.933
[Mrs. Lisbon] Oh, of course.
The one down here isn't working very well.
00:09:17.016 --> 00:09:18.994
- [clears throat]
- Go upstairs, through Cecilia's room.
00:09:19.018 --> 00:09:20.603
Okay. Thanks.
00:10:28.337 --> 00:10:30.756
- [knocking]
- Hold — Hold on.
00:10:31.549 --> 00:10:33.968
[giggles]
I thought you'd died in there.
00:10:35.511 --> 00:10:38.097
Are you done hogging the bathroom?
I need something.
00:10:46.605 --> 00:10:48.274
Do you mind?
00:10:51.152 --> 00:10:52.653
[Lux chuckles]
00:10:56.449 --> 00:10:57.825
Thank you very much.
00:10:57.908 --> 00:10:59.827
Are you forgetting something?
00:11:00.995 --> 00:11:02.079
[laughs]
00:11:02.163 --> 00:11:04.790
Oh, Peter. Here's a little airfoil
I thought you might find —
00:11:04.874 --> 00:11:06.250
- Thank you.
- find amusing.
00:11:06.334 --> 00:11:08.210
It's a — [clears throat]
00:11:08.294 --> 00:11:10.171
demonstration of Bernoulli's principle.
00:11:10.254 --> 00:11:12.923
Lift and — [exhales]
00:11:14.633 --> 00:11:17.636
[narrator] From that time on,
the Lisbon house began to change.
00:11:21.557 --> 00:11:23.809
Almost every day,
00:11:23.893 --> 00:11:26.812
and even when
she wasn't keeping an eye on Cecilia,
00:11:26.896 --> 00:11:28.314
Lux would suntan on her towel,
00:11:28.397 --> 00:11:31.150
wearing a swimsuit
that caused the knife sharpener
00:11:31.233 --> 00:11:34.028
to give her
a 15-minute demonstration for free.
00:11:38.157 --> 00:11:39.575
Following the doctor's orders,
00:11:39.658 --> 00:11:41.952
two weeks after Cecilia returned home,
00:11:42.036 --> 00:11:44.538
Mr. Lisbon persuaded his wife
to allow the girls
00:11:44.622 --> 00:11:49.085
to throw the first and only party
of their short lives.
00:11:57.760 --> 00:11:59.762
There. Is that okay?
00:12:02.014 --> 00:12:03.724
I gotta get dressed.
00:12:13.192 --> 00:12:15.569
- Welcome.
- Good evening, Mrs. Lisbon.
00:12:15.653 --> 00:12:16.987
Come on in.
00:12:20.408 --> 00:12:22.535
[Mrs. Lisbon]
The party's in the basement.
00:12:22.618 --> 00:12:25.496
[speakers: pop music playing, faint]
00:12:25.579 --> 00:12:29.542
Just go on around to the left
and then down the stairs.
00:12:30.042 --> 00:12:33.546

00:12:40.136 --> 00:12:42.346

Do you know
where you're applying yet?

Well, no, but my parents
are pushing towards Yale
00:14:09.141 --> 00:14:11.185

next to the toilet in the bathroom.

Look at the I's, the dots on 'em.
They're everywhere.
00:24:34.057 --> 00:24:37.936
Basically, what we have here
is a dreamer,
00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:40.480
someone completely out of touch
with reality.
00:24:40.564 --> 00:24:43.024

she probably thought she was flying.

She'd wake up at 5:00 in the morning
and hang out casually on the front steps,

and bleached out all the Kevins.

[narrator] And so we started
to learn about their lives...
00:26:39.182 --> 00:26:42.811
coming to hold collective memories
of times we hadn't experienced.
00:26:42.894 --> 00:26:45.730
We felt the imprisonment of being a girl,
00:26:46.564 --> 00:26:49.025
the way it made your mind
active and dreamy
00:26:49.109 --> 00:26:52.696
and how you ended up knowing
what colors went together.
00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:55.365
We knew that the girls
were really women in disguise,
00:26:55.448 --> 00:26:58.285
that they understood love
and even death,
00:26:58.368 --> 00:27:02.372
and that our job was merely to create
the noise that seemed to fascinate them.
00:27:03.873 --> 00:27:07.127
We knew that they knew
everything about us
00:27:07.210 --> 00:27:09.546
and that we couldn't fathom them at all.

Hello, girls.
00:27:32.736 --> 00:27:38.491
Um, I'm here to ask you a couple
of questions, uh, about Cecilia.
00:27:39.826 --> 00:27:41.286
Yeah?
00:27:41.369 --> 00:27:42.912
Oh, great, great.
00:27:42.996 --> 00:27:47.292
Um, maybe you could start by,
um, telling me a little bit about her.
00:27:47.375 --> 00:27:52.047
Um, did she have
any special interests or hobbies?
00:27:52.756 --> 00:27:55.550
Um, she liked to write
in her journal a lot.
00:27:55.633 --> 00:27:57.260
That is great.
00:27:57.344 --> 00:27:59.012
Um, okay.
00:27:59.095 --> 00:28:03.266
Uh, did she — did she ever talk
about ending her life?
00:28:03.892 --> 00:28:05.894
What's going on here?
00:28:05.977 --> 00:28:08.355
Um, you must be Mrs. Lisbon.
00:28:08.438 --> 00:28:11.316
I'm Lydia Perl.
I'm doing a piece for Channel 2 and —
00:28:11.399 --> 00:28:13.401
You have to leave now, Miss Perl.
00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:18.156
The suicide of an east-side teenager
last summer
00:28:18.239 --> 00:28:21.368
has increased the awareness
of a national crisis.
00:28:21.451 --> 00:28:24.621
I now stand in front of the home
where Cecilia Lisbon, a 13-year-old...
00:28:24.704 --> 00:28:26.414
Why don't they just let her
rest in peace?
00:28:26.498 --> 00:28:28.208
...who liked to paint and write poetry,
00:28:28.291 --> 00:28:30.251
tragically put an end to her life.
00:28:30.335 --> 00:28:32.754
Psychologists agree
that adolescence today
00:28:32.837 --> 00:28:37.592
is much more fraught by pressures
and complexities than in years past.
00:28:37.675 --> 00:28:41.846
More and more doctors say that
this frustration can lead to acts of violence
00:28:41.930 --> 00:28:46.810
whose reality the adolescent
cannot separate from its intended drama.
00:28:47.685 --> 00:28:50.605
I baked a pie
full of rat poison.
00:28:51.606 --> 00:28:54.025
I thought I could eat it,
you know,
00:28:54.109 --> 00:28:55.985
without being suspicious.
00:28:58.196 --> 00:29:00.740
My nana, who was 86...
00:29:04.327 --> 00:29:06.329
She really liked sweets.
00:29:08.706 --> 00:29:10.333
She had three pieces.
00:29:10.417 --> 00:29:11.918

00:29:16.840 --> 00:29:18.925

00:29:19.008 --> 00:29:20.343
[woman 2 on phone]

00:29:20.427 --> 00:29:22.863
You would always wonder if there
was something you could've done.
00:29:22.887 --> 00:29:25.533
- [woman] Well, I gotta go. See you later.
- [woman 2] All right, then.
00:29:25.557 --> 00:29:27.142

- Bye.

00:30:55.605 --> 00:30:57.357

[woman] Those girls have
a bright future ahead of them.
00:31:46.406 --> 00:31:49.117
The other one
was just gonna end up a kook.
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.496
[narrator] We didn't see the girls together
as a group until convocation, September 7.
00:31:54.581 --> 00:31:58.376
Mary, Lux, Bonnie, and Therese
00:31:58.459 --> 00:32:00.920
came to school
as though nothing had happened.
00:32:01.004 --> 00:32:02.922
And we felt that
if we kept looking hard enough,
00:32:03.006 --> 00:32:07.051
we might begin to understand
what they were feeling and who they were.
00:32:07.135 --> 00:32:09.512
All right, so, if we have —
00:32:09.596 --> 00:32:11.681
And these are Venn diagrams,
as you remember.
00:32:11.764 --> 00:32:15.602
If we have A and B intersecting,
00:32:15.685 --> 00:32:17.604
and A and B,
00:32:17.687 --> 00:32:21.441
if A intersects B, we have this area.
00:32:21.524 --> 00:32:25.695
And if A is the union with B,
we have all of the circle
00:32:25.778 --> 00:32:27.196
plus the intersection.
00:32:27.280 --> 00:32:32.535
These are the laws
of intersection and union. Okay?
00:32:43.504 --> 00:32:45.089
How's it going?
00:32:46.841 --> 00:32:48.301
Not bad.
00:32:52.305 --> 00:32:56.934
Okay, do a character sketch on
the following characters from Portrait of a Lady.
00:32:57.018 --> 00:32:59.854
The first one is... Ralph.
00:32:59.937 --> 00:33:03.107
Um... he was nice.
00:33:03.191 --> 00:33:05.485
It was really sad when he died.
00:33:08.154 --> 00:33:10.948
Oh, my gosh.
I can't believe I just said that.
00:33:11.032 --> 00:33:13.034
I am so sorry.
00:33:25.254 --> 00:33:28.466
Reading about
the alarming suicide rate,
00:33:28.549 --> 00:33:32.011
I talked to Mr. Woodhouse
and some of the teachers here
00:33:32.095 --> 00:33:35.848
and realized that nothing
about this serious matter
00:33:35.932 --> 00:33:38.434
has been discussed at this school.
00:33:38.518 --> 00:33:41.813
[narrator] And quickly thereafter,
green pamphlets were distributed.
00:33:41.896 --> 00:33:45.817
[woman] We thought green was cheerful,
but not too cheerful.
00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:47.944
Certainly better than red.
00:33:49.070 --> 00:33:52.615
[narrator] The green pamphlets told us
that there were 80 suicides a day in America,
00:33:52.699 --> 00:33:54.075
30,000 a year...
00:33:54.158 --> 00:33:55.493
[all] Cheese!
00:33:55.576 --> 00:33:58.204
...and alerted us to danger signals
we couldn't help but look for.
00:33:59.247 --> 00:34:01.040
Were the Lisbon girls' pupils dilated?
00:34:01.958 --> 00:34:05.628
Had they lost interest in school activities,
in sports and hobbies?
00:34:05.712 --> 00:34:08.172
Had they withdrawn from their peers?
00:34:10.508 --> 00:34:12.051
Hi. I'm Chase.
00:34:14.345 --> 00:34:16.347
I know who you are.
00:34:17.348 --> 00:34:20.435
I've only been going to this school
my whole life.
00:34:21.561 --> 00:34:23.563
You don't have to talk to me.
00:34:33.364 --> 00:34:36.492
[man] So, for example, we have
two different types of economics,
00:34:36.576 --> 00:34:38.786
or so-called two different types
of economics.
00:34:38.870 --> 00:34:43.541
Now, the first one, we would say,
is called macroeconomics, which is...
00:34:43.624 --> 00:34:46.127
Look. She's laughing.
00:34:48.212 --> 00:34:50.131
He made her laugh.
00:34:50.214 --> 00:34:52.967
I never heard him
say anything remotely intelligent.
00:34:54.677 --> 00:34:57.555
[narrator] The boys who talked with Lux
were always the stupidest boys
00:34:57.638 --> 00:35:00.391
and made terrible sources of information.
00:35:00.475 --> 00:35:03.102
Squeezebox. She's all right.
00:35:03.186 --> 00:35:06.439
Let me tell you,
she's the hottest girl in the school, for sure.
00:35:07.148 --> 00:35:10.401
You wanna know what happened?
Smell my fingers, man.
00:35:10.485 --> 00:35:13.154
Nah, she didn't talk about Cecilia.
00:35:13.237 --> 00:35:15.865
We weren't exactly talking,
if you know what I mean.
00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:20.661
[narrator] But the only reliable boy
who actually got to know Lux...
00:35:21.537 --> 00:35:23.372
was Trip Fontaine,
00:35:24.540 --> 00:35:27.877
who, only eight months before the suicides,
had emerged from baby fat
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:31.214
to the delight of girls and mothers alike.
00:35:32.215 --> 00:35:33.841

All the girls except for Lux.
00:37:07.768 --> 00:37:10.313
Trip told us his passion
for Lux Lisbon all started
00:37:10.396 --> 00:37:13.441
when he went into the wrong history class
during fifth period.
00:37:14.525 --> 00:37:17.445
As was his custom, he went out
to his car to smoke the marijuana

the diabetic kid, took his insulin.
00:37:28.539 --> 00:37:31.334

he ran into Mr. Woodhouse in the hall
00:37:31.417 --> 00:37:33.753
and ducked into the nearest class.

[Trip] She was the still point
of the turning world, man.

[movie: narrator] The word "hurricane"
is the name given to nature's strongest storm.
00:40:06.989 --> 00:40:10.868
A hurricane occurs when high pressure
and low pressure masses of air
00:40:10.951 --> 00:40:13.162
come in contact with one another.
00:40:14.497 --> 00:40:18.793
There is often a significant difference
in temperature between the two masses.
00:40:20.586 --> 00:40:23.339
One mass is warm,
while the other is cold.
00:40:24.799 --> 00:40:28.427
The warmer air rises
and the cooler air falls.
00:40:30.179 --> 00:40:35.142
Likewise, the low pressure area slides
down the sides of the high pressure area.
00:40:35.226 --> 00:40:39.605
They swirl in and around one another,
creating the beginnings of the storm.

00:41:59.185 --> 00:42:02.563
The hurricane,
one of the most truly awe-inspiring
00:42:02.646 --> 00:42:05.065
and spectacular storms
nature has to offer.
00:42:05.149 --> 00:42:07.151
[dramatic music ends]
00:42:12.031 --> 00:42:14.783
- [narrator on TV, indistinct]
- [Mrs. Lisbon] What channel is this?
00:42:14.867 --> 00:42:17.328
- [Lux] Five.
- Ah, let's see.
00:42:17.411 --> 00:42:20.664
Um, "Animals in the wild.
00:42:20.748 --> 00:42:23.459
Journey through the African Kalahari
00:42:23.542 --> 00:42:26.587
as we visit exotic animals
in their natural habitat."
00:42:26.670 --> 00:42:29.131
I think that sounds very nice, don't you?
00:42:29.215 --> 00:42:31.592
[narrator]
Now to the southwest,
00:42:31.675 --> 00:42:34.345
this huge rain forest
eventually gives way
00:42:34.428 --> 00:42:36.138
to expansive, arid grasslands
00:42:36.222 --> 00:42:39.308
that stretch to the horizon
in all directions.
00:42:39.391 --> 00:42:42.269
This is the Kalahari.
00:42:42.353 --> 00:42:44.355
Uh, do you want some more pop?
00:42:45.522 --> 00:42:47.024
Yeah, sure. Thank you.
00:42:52.947 --> 00:42:54.365
Thanks.
00:42:58.744 --> 00:43:03.082
The wildlife spectacle played out
on these vast, open grasslands
00:43:03.165 --> 00:43:05.918
and in the deep recesses of the rain forest
00:43:06.001 --> 00:43:08.337
is unparalleled anywhere on Earth.
00:43:08.420 --> 00:43:11.131
[growling, roaring]
00:43:16.971 --> 00:43:19.390
Lux, please put your feet down, honey.
00:43:23.352 --> 00:43:24.853
[snickering]
00:43:24.937 --> 00:43:27.690
The Kalahari and its vast, open skies
00:43:27.773 --> 00:43:30.651
provide the theater
for the elemental life-and-death drama
00:43:30.734 --> 00:43:33.696
played out by
the plentiful four-footed herds
00:43:33.779 --> 00:43:37.074
and the great hunting cats
that prey on them.
00:43:37.157 --> 00:43:39.243
[Mrs. Lisbon] Oh, my.
00:43:39.910 --> 00:43:42.288
I-I-It's getting so late. Honey?
00:43:45.916 --> 00:43:47.394
- Yeah. Oh!
- I said it's getting late.
00:43:47.418 --> 00:43:51.005
Well, uh, Skip, we usually,
uh, hit the hay about now, so...
00:43:51.088 --> 00:43:52.798
[coughs]
00:43:52.881 --> 00:43:54.633
Right. Yeah.
00:43:59.763 --> 00:44:01.390
- Okay. Okay.
- Thank you.
00:44:01.473 --> 00:44:03.892
- Okay, so...
- It was nice to meet you, Mrs. Lisbon.
00:44:03.976 --> 00:44:06.145
- Yes.
- Thank you.
00:44:06.228 --> 00:44:08.230
- Good night.
- See ya.
00:44:08.314 --> 00:44:10.441
[Mr. Lisbon] Yeah. [sighs]
00:44:12.443 --> 00:44:15.446

I don't have you until fifth, do I?
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:19.945
- Uh, no.
- Oh.
00:46:20.028 --> 00:46:22.114
I'm not here for math today, sir.
00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:29.204
Look, I'm here to tell you that my intentions
for your daughter are entirely honorable.
00:46:32.166 --> 00:46:34.251
What might those intentions be?
00:46:35.586 --> 00:46:37.713
I wanna ask Lux
to the homecoming dance.
00:46:40.757 --> 00:46:43.469
Trip, why don't you sit down for a minute.
00:46:43.552 --> 00:46:44.970
All right.
00:46:47.598 --> 00:46:50.184
You see, my wife and I have certain rules.
00:46:51.143 --> 00:46:53.061
They've been the same rules
for the older girls,
00:46:53.145 --> 00:46:56.106
and I can't very well go and change them now
for the younger ones.
00:46:56.190 --> 00:46:59.776
Even if I wanted to, the wife wouldn't let me.
[chuckles] It's true.
00:46:59.860 --> 00:47:04.156
So, uh, if you wanna come over
and watch television again,
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:05.741
that would be fine.
00:47:05.824 --> 00:47:09.786
But you cannot take Lux out,
especially not in a car.
00:47:09.870 --> 00:47:12.706
So, I'm sorry, son.
That's just our policy.
00:47:15.918 --> 00:47:19.755
Okay, sir, what if —
what if there was a bunch of us guys
00:47:19.838 --> 00:47:22.382
and we took all your daughters out
in a group
00:47:22.466 --> 00:47:25.219
and we had 'em back
by whatever time that you said?
00:47:25.302 --> 00:47:27.137
You on the football squad son?
00:47:28.138 --> 00:47:30.516
- Yes, sir.
- Oh. What position?
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:31.892
Defensive corner back.
00:47:31.975 --> 00:47:34.353
Ah. Well, uh, good. Good.
00:47:34.436 --> 00:47:37.523
I was a — [clears throat]
I was a safety in my day.
00:47:37.606 --> 00:47:39.942
Well, that's a crucial position, sir.
00:47:40.025 --> 00:47:42.861
- Nothing between you and the goal line.
- Exactly. Exactly.
00:47:42.945 --> 00:47:44.863
- [school bell rings]
- Uh, well...
00:47:45.572 --> 00:47:48.825
So, the thing is, sir, we've got
the big game against Country Day,
00:47:48.909 --> 00:47:52.079
and then afterwards
we have the dance and everything, and...
00:47:52.162 --> 00:47:54.498
like, all the other guys
are taking dates.
00:47:54.581 --> 00:47:58.669
You're a good-looking fellow, Trip.
Lots of girls would go with you, I bet.
00:48:00.003 --> 00:48:02.631
Yeah, well, I'm not interested
in lots of girls, sir.
00:48:09.680 --> 00:48:12.849
I'll take it up with the wife, Trip,
do what I can.
00:48:14.685 --> 00:48:16.103
Thank you, sir.
00:48:17.479 --> 00:48:20.482
- It's a classic. It's really dark.
- Oh.
00:48:22.067 --> 00:48:23.694
Mmm.
00:48:29.950 --> 00:48:34.413
Uh, Trip Fontaine and, uh,
some of the other boys on the football squad
00:48:34.496 --> 00:48:36.957
have asked to take the girls
to the homecoming dance.
00:48:37.040 --> 00:48:40.502
- [gasping]
- You know how I feel about that sort of thing.
00:48:40.586 --> 00:48:42.588
But, dear, I'm gonna be a chaperone
at the dance.
00:48:42.671 --> 00:48:45.257
Oh, come on, Mom, please.
00:48:46.258 --> 00:48:48.844
Your father and I will discuss it later.
00:48:51.430 --> 00:48:54.141
Mr. Fontaine, may I speak with you, please?
00:48:54.975 --> 00:48:57.936
[clears throat] Now, my wife and I
have, uh, had a little talk,
00:48:58.020 --> 00:49:00.397
and we've come to a decision
about your request.
00:49:01.398 --> 00:49:03.400
[no audible dialogue]
00:49:06.361 --> 00:49:07.696
[Mr. Lisbon] Okay?
00:49:14.286 --> 00:49:15.787
Yes!
00:49:19.791 --> 00:49:21.293
- [exhales]
- [whistle blows]
00:49:21.376 --> 00:49:23.420
Taking Lux Lisbon to Homecoming.
00:49:23.503 --> 00:49:25.505
All I need is three guys
to take the other girls.
00:49:25.589 --> 00:49:27.424
[whistle blows]
00:49:33.472 --> 00:49:35.307
I'll give you three joints, Trip.
00:49:35.390 --> 00:49:37.934
Come on, Trip, man.
You pick me, we can take my dad's Caddie.
00:49:38.018 --> 00:49:40.520
- [whistle blows]
- You gotta pick me, Tripster.
00:49:42.272 --> 00:49:44.733
Trip, man, you owe me.
00:49:44.816 --> 00:49:47.170
- I saved your ass with Woodhouse that time.
- [whistle blows]
00:49:47.194 --> 00:49:49.488
- [screaming] Oh, thanks, Dad!
- Okay, okay, okay.
00:49:49.571 --> 00:49:51.073
Who are the other boys?
00:49:51.156 --> 00:49:54.451
Uh, let's see.
Parker Denton and Jake Conley.
00:49:54.534 --> 00:49:58.455
He's a very good student, dear.
And, uh, uh, Kevin Head.
00:49:58.538 --> 00:50:00.791
- Who's taking who?
- Whom.
00:50:00.874 --> 00:50:02.834
They're just gonna raffle us off.
00:50:05.295 --> 00:50:07.982
[narrator] It didn't make any difference
which pattern of their dream dresses
00:50:08.006 --> 00:50:09.633
the girls each chose.
00:50:09.716 --> 00:50:13.970
Mrs. Lisbon added an inch to the bust line
and two inches to the waist and hems.
00:50:15.180 --> 00:50:17.683
And the dresses came out
as four identical sacks.
00:50:18.266 --> 00:50:20.227
- Everybody decent?
- Yeah.
00:50:21.812 --> 00:50:23.522
Okay, come on.
00:50:26.942 --> 00:50:29.653
Oh, sorry. Okay, here we go.
Okay, come on. Together.
00:50:31.071 --> 00:50:33.365
- There's a leak.
- And cheddar cheese.
00:50:35.575 --> 00:50:37.494
- [laughs]
- [coughs]
00:50:37.577 --> 00:50:39.204
I'm so excited.
00:50:40.455 --> 00:50:41.748
You're in my way.
00:50:43.500 --> 00:50:45.001
[tires squeal]
00:50:47.504 --> 00:50:49.005
[engine off]
00:50:55.887 --> 00:50:58.348
[exhales]
00:51:00.517 --> 00:51:02.686
- We ready?
- Let's go.
00:51:02.769 --> 00:51:04.396
Ready, man.
00:51:04.479 --> 00:51:06.106
Let's do it.
00:51:10.527 --> 00:51:13.780
[narrator] In the end,
Parkie won because of the Cadillac,
00:51:13.864 --> 00:51:16.616
Kevin Head because he had the killer weed,
00:51:16.700 --> 00:51:19.703
and Joe Hill Conley because
he won all the school prizes,
00:51:19.786 --> 00:51:22.581
which Trip thought would impress
Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon.
00:51:24.791 --> 00:51:27.294
- Hello, boys.
- [all] Hello, Mrs. Lisbon.
00:51:28.253 --> 00:51:29.504
Come in.
00:51:29.588 --> 00:51:31.089
Thank you.
00:51:44.019 --> 00:51:45.896
Uh, who — who's driving?
00:51:45.979 --> 00:51:47.105
I am.
00:51:47.189 --> 00:51:49.316
How long have you had your license?
00:51:49.399 --> 00:51:51.959
Two months, but I had my learner's permit
for a year before that.
00:51:52.027 --> 00:51:54.738
You know, we — we almost never
allow the girls to go out in cars
00:51:54.821 --> 00:51:56.364
unless it's necessary.
00:51:56.448 --> 00:52:00.368
There's so many accidents nowadays.
I'm sure you will be very careful.
00:52:00.452 --> 00:52:03.455
- Oh, yes, ma'am.
- Okay, third degree's over.
00:52:04.581 --> 00:52:06.082
Girls!
00:52:08.460 --> 00:52:10.504
I better get going.
I'll see you at the dance, huh?
00:52:10.587 --> 00:52:12.547
- See you there, Mr. Lisbon.
- Okay.
00:52:12.631 --> 00:52:14.966
- Bye, dear.
- [chuckles]
00:52:15.050 --> 00:52:17.219
- See you later.
- Yeah. Good.
00:52:21.348 --> 00:52:23.558
Girls? Come on down.
00:52:24.351 --> 00:52:25.977
The boys are here.
00:52:51.002 --> 00:52:53.004
We got white ones.
00:52:54.005 --> 00:52:55.674
We didn't know what you were wearing.
00:52:55.757 --> 00:53:00.387
The guy, the flower guy, said
that white would go with anything, so...
00:53:01.388 --> 00:53:03.390
I'm glad you got white.
00:53:04.724 --> 00:53:07.352
[Mrs. Lisbon] Why don't you pin them on?
00:53:10.146 --> 00:53:11.648
Yeah.
00:53:12.983 --> 00:53:14.484
Here.
00:53:16.361 --> 00:53:19.823
[all murmuring]
00:53:20.323 --> 00:53:22.492
[Lux] Don't stick me.
00:53:22.576 --> 00:53:25.328
- [laughing]
- Almost, almost.
00:53:28.623 --> 00:53:30.263
- This isn't... gonna work.
- [chattering]
00:53:30.292 --> 00:53:32.335
- Just — [chuckles]
- Popped off right away.
00:53:32.419 --> 00:53:34.754
- Oh.
- [laughing]
00:53:34.838 --> 00:53:36.965
There we go. All right.
00:53:37.048 --> 00:53:39.718
- Let's do it.
- All right.
00:53:39.801 --> 00:53:41.303
Bye, Mom.
00:53:42.262 --> 00:53:43.263
Bye.
00:53:46.057 --> 00:53:47.058
Hi.
00:53:52.355 --> 00:53:55.233
Oh, my gosh. Look, you guys.
Her car's there late again.
00:53:55.317 --> 00:53:57.861
[Bonnie] I'm sure Mr. Leo's
having an affair with the maid.
00:53:57.944 --> 00:54:00.280
I saw him follow her into the laundry room.
00:54:00.363 --> 00:54:02.949
[Therese]
Ew! He's so fat, and that red nose.
00:54:03.033 --> 00:54:05.744
- Totally an alcoholic.
- Yeah, and what about the Hessens?
00:54:05.827 --> 00:54:08.997
- You know they're Nazis.
- They're Nazi sympathizers, Bonnie.
00:54:09.080 --> 00:54:12.000
They had a fit when the Schwartzmans
tried to join the tennis club.
00:54:12.083 --> 00:54:13.543
[laughing]
00:54:13.627 --> 00:54:15.837
[Lux] Nice aluminum siding.
00:54:15.921 --> 00:54:17.964
Do they really think that looks okay?
00:54:18.048 --> 00:54:20.967
You know Mr. Kreigers
ordered that from TV late at night.
00:54:21.051 --> 00:54:23.678
Look, it's the Baldinos' barbecue tree stump.
00:54:23.762 --> 00:54:26.473
I have never seen them barbecue
on that thing.
00:54:26.556 --> 00:54:29.601
Actually, it's an escape tunnel
for Sammy the Shark.
00:54:29.684 --> 00:54:31.978
It leads to a river
where he keeps his speedboat.
00:54:32.062 --> 00:54:34.230
Yeah,
I mean Paul goes down there all the time.
00:54:34.314 --> 00:54:37.400

01:10:46.118 --> 01:10:48.996
Have we photosynthesized
our breakfast today?
01:10:50.664 --> 01:10:52.666
[locker clattering]
01:10:58.255 --> 01:11:00.049
[muttering]
01:11:00.132 --> 01:11:01.634
Hello, Ronald.
01:11:02.676 --> 01:11:04.303
Hi, Eric.
01:11:04.386 --> 01:11:07.973
Your daughters haven't been in school
for over two weeks.
01:11:10.184 --> 01:11:12.186
You checked out back?
01:11:17.066 --> 01:11:19.526
[Mrs. Buell] Dini Flasher said
they found a new math teacher.
01:11:20.194 --> 01:11:22.464
Well, he's gonna have to get another job,
that's for sure.
01:11:22.488 --> 01:11:23.989
I know.
01:11:25.407 --> 01:11:28.118
How long can those girls
be cooped up like that?
01:11:36.335 --> 01:11:38.629
[motor revving]
01:11:48.764 --> 01:11:50.307
Just go away. This is our tree.
01:11:50.391 --> 01:11:54.019
Girls. Girls, it's a little late.
01:11:54.103 --> 01:11:55.479
Okay, this tree is dead.
01:11:55.562 --> 01:11:57.165
Why don't you just leave it up to nature?
01:11:57.189 --> 01:11:59.250
If we left it up to nature,
there'd be no trees left.
01:11:59.274 --> 01:12:01.402
[scoffs]
That's what it's gonna be like anyway.
01:12:01.485 --> 01:12:03.445
If the boats didn't bring the fungus
from Europe,
01:12:03.529 --> 01:12:05.614
none of this would've happened
in the first place.
01:12:05.698 --> 01:12:08.617
Okay. Let's go.
01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:11.328
No?
01:12:11.412 --> 01:12:13.706
All right, that's it.
01:12:13.789 --> 01:12:16.792
I have an order to cut down your elm tree,
but your kids won't let us.
01:12:16.875 --> 01:12:18.168
Dear?
01:12:18.252 --> 01:12:20.587
- How do you know that tree's sick?
- Believe me, we know.
01:12:20.671 --> 01:12:22.941
It had yellow leaves.
The tree is dead, for Christ's sake.
01:12:22.965 --> 01:12:25.592
Are you familiar with Aritex?
Our daughter showed us an article.
01:12:25.676 --> 01:12:27.570
- It's a less aggressive therapy.
- And it doesn't work.
01:12:27.594 --> 01:12:29.096
- Ah.
- I leave that tree there,
01:12:29.179 --> 01:12:30.597
they'll all be gone by next year.
01:12:30.681 --> 01:12:32.433
Will be anyway... way things are going.
01:12:33.267 --> 01:12:34.869
Look, I don't wanna have to call the police.
01:12:34.893 --> 01:12:37.414
[Mrs. Lisbon] Our daughters are simply
standing on their own front lawn.
01:12:37.438 --> 01:12:39.273
Since when is that a crime?
01:12:43.360 --> 01:12:44.862
[Mr. Lisbon] Uh —
01:12:50.993 --> 01:12:52.995
[chainsaw motor revving]
01:12:54.913 --> 01:12:57.374
Clyde? Did you see those girls
in the — in the nighties?
01:12:57.458 --> 01:13:00.169
That's what I want.
That's the shot that I want. Okay?
01:13:00.252 --> 01:13:03.064
Honey, you're gonna have to move forward.
I want those girls in the nighties.
01:13:03.088 --> 01:13:04.631
Oh, God. Okay.
01:13:04.715 --> 01:13:07.092
Here, let's just back up a little bit here.
01:13:07.176 --> 01:13:10.095
- [cameraman] Give me some slack.
- There you go. Is that good?
01:13:10.179 --> 01:13:11.805
- Okay?
- Great.
01:13:12.681 --> 01:13:15.893
Four sisters of Cecilia Lisbon,
the east-side teenager
01:13:15.976 --> 01:13:20.189
whose suicide last summer
focused awareness on a national problem,
01:13:20.272 --> 01:13:22.024
put their own lives in jeopardy
01:13:22.107 --> 01:13:25.778
by trying to protect the elm
that Cecilia so dearly loved.
01:13:25.861 --> 01:13:29.198
[chainsaw motor whirring]
01:14:03.982 --> 01:14:05.609
[birds chirping]
01:14:13.867 --> 01:14:16.870
[Mary] The circles under your eyes
come out more when you're in overcast.
01:14:16.954 --> 01:14:19.456
All right? So you need to wear
more concealer when it's cloudy.
01:14:19.540 --> 01:14:22.835
[narrator] For the next few weeks,
we hardly saw the girls at all.
01:14:24.128 --> 01:14:26.964
Joe Hill Conley didn't call Therese
as he had promised.
01:14:27.714 --> 01:14:29.716
So we need more colors.
01:14:32.803 --> 01:14:34.972
And Lux never spoke to Trip again.
01:14:35.055 --> 01:14:37.599
[Mary] So, you should tone it down a bit.
But in the shade —
01:14:38.684 --> 01:14:40.686
[Trip's voice] You're a stone fox.
01:14:46.024 --> 01:14:48.402
[narrator] The girls' only contact
with the outside world
01:14:48.485 --> 01:14:50.487
was through the catalogs they ordered
01:14:50.571 --> 01:14:52.614
that started to fill the Lisbons' mailbox
01:14:52.698 --> 01:14:57.494
with pictures of high-end fashions
and brochures for exotic vacations.
01:14:59.037 --> 01:15:01.915
Unable to go anywhere,
the girls traveled in their imaginations
01:15:01.999 --> 01:15:04.376
to gold-tipped Siamese temples,
01:15:04.459 --> 01:15:09.131
or past an old man with a leaf broom
tidying a moss-carpeted speck of Japan.
01:15:12.467 --> 01:15:14.928
We ordered the same catalogs,
01:15:15.012 --> 01:15:18.974
and flipping through the pages,
we hiked through dusty passes with the girls,
01:15:19.057 --> 01:15:22.186
stopping every now and then
to help them with their backpacks...
01:15:23.395 --> 01:15:26.690
placing our hands on their warm,
moist shoulders,
01:15:26.773 --> 01:15:29.109
and gazing off at papaya sunsets.
01:15:30.777 --> 01:15:34.323
We drank tea with them in a water pavilion.
01:15:34.406 --> 01:15:36.366
We did whatever we wanted.
01:15:38.202 --> 01:15:39.953
Cecilia hadn't died.
01:15:40.746 --> 01:15:42.873
She was a bride in Calcutta.
01:15:45.375 --> 01:15:47.753
The only way
we could feel close to the girls
01:15:47.836 --> 01:15:51.632
was through these impossible excursions,
which have scarred us forever...
01:15:53.091 --> 01:15:56.178
making us happier with dreams than wives.
01:15:58.388 --> 01:16:00.724
Collecting everything we could of theirs,
01:16:00.807 --> 01:16:03.435
the Lisbon girls wouldn't leave our minds.
01:16:03.518 --> 01:16:05.896
But they were slipping away.
01:16:05.979 --> 01:16:10.567
The color of their eyes was fading, along with
the exact locations of moles and dimples.
01:16:11.401 --> 01:16:13.278
From five they had become four,
01:16:13.362 --> 01:16:16.198
and they were all, the living and the dead,
01:16:16.281 --> 01:16:18.825
becoming shadows.
01:16:18.909 --> 01:16:21.828
We would have lost them completely
if the girls hadn't contacted us.
01:16:21.912 --> 01:16:23.705
[Chase] Okay, one long.
01:16:24.790 --> 01:16:26.708
Two short.
01:16:27.376 --> 01:16:29.044
- And one long.
- Mm-hmm.
01:16:29.127 --> 01:16:31.296
You got that? That's it.
01:16:32.047 --> 01:16:33.548
Okay.
01:16:34.758 --> 01:16:36.260
Help.
01:16:37.427 --> 01:16:38.929
Send...
01:16:40.555 --> 01:16:42.057
bo...
01:16:43.016 --> 01:16:44.059
bo.
01:16:45.978 --> 01:16:47.479
- Bobo?
- Bobo.
01:16:47.562 --> 01:16:49.690
I just — Watch this.
01:16:49.773 --> 01:16:50.774
Bobo.
01:16:50.857 --> 01:16:53.318
Help send bobo?
01:16:53.402 --> 01:16:55.028
I thought you knew Morse code.
01:17:23.432 --> 01:17:25.600
Something here for you.
01:17:31.773 --> 01:17:33.233
[door closes]
01:17:33.317 --> 01:17:35.277
I got one too.
01:17:37.779 --> 01:17:40.657
[narrator] We racked our brains
for a way of contacting them.
01:17:40.741 --> 01:17:44.953
Tom Fahey suggested we fly a kite
with a message alongside the house,
01:17:45.037 --> 01:17:47.664
but that had logistical problems.
01:17:47.748 --> 01:17:50.667
In the end, the answer was so simple
it took a week to come up with.
01:17:51.251 --> 01:17:53.337
We called them on the telephone.
01:17:53.420 --> 01:17:56.214
- [line buzzing]
- 727-8221.
01:17:56.298 --> 01:17:57.966

01:21:23.505 --> 01:21:24.714
We're here.
01:21:30.595 --> 01:21:31.805
[door opens]
01:21:34.599 --> 01:21:36.601
About time.
01:21:36.685 --> 01:21:39.271
We've been waiting for you guys.
01:21:39.354 --> 01:21:42.899
We got a car. We got a full tank of gas.
We'll take you anywhere you wanna go.
01:21:42.983 --> 01:21:45.235
It's just a Cougar,
but it's got a pretty big trunk.
01:21:46.278 --> 01:21:47.988
Can I sit up front?
01:21:49.197 --> 01:21:50.407
Sure.
01:21:53.201 --> 01:21:56.371
Which one of you
is gonna sit up front next to me?
01:21:57.914 --> 01:21:59.416
Where are your parents?
01:22:00.625 --> 01:22:01.626
Asleep.
01:22:01.710 --> 01:22:03.545
What about your sisters?
01:22:04.212 --> 01:22:05.297
They're coming.
01:22:06.214 --> 01:22:08.592
Come on. It's getting late.
01:22:10.010 --> 01:22:13.305
Wait five minutes. We had to wait
until my parents were asleep.
01:22:14.097 --> 01:22:15.807
They take forever.
01:22:15.890 --> 01:22:17.809
My mom's an insomniac.
01:22:21.813 --> 01:22:24.107
We better take our car. There's more room.
01:22:26.526 --> 01:22:28.528
Think you can handle a station wagon?
01:22:29.696 --> 01:22:31.031
Sure.
01:22:31.114 --> 01:22:33.658
- It's not a stick, is it?
- No.
01:22:33.742 --> 01:22:35.243
Yeah, no problem.
01:22:35.327 --> 01:22:37.787
Will you let me steer?
01:22:37.871 --> 01:22:38.872
Sure.
01:22:38.955 --> 01:22:41.499
But maybe we should get out of here.
I just heard something.
01:22:41.583 --> 01:22:44.085
- It could be your mom.
- Come on in.
01:22:55.180 --> 01:22:57.432
I'll go wait in the car.
01:22:57.515 --> 01:22:59.434
You guys wait here for my sisters.

If I could just feel one of 'em up just once.
01:24:03.206 --> 01:24:04.708

about the sequence of events.

We argue about it still.

Most likely Bonnie had died
while we were waiting in the living room,

dreaming of highways.

Mary put her head in the oven
shortly thereafter.
01:24:42.245 --> 01:24:46.207
Therese, stuffed with sleeping pills,
was gone by the time we got there.
01:24:48.042 --> 01:24:49.544
Lux was the last to go.

Do you know where your children are?
01:25:03.725 --> 01:25:08.646
Bonnie, the youngest Lisbon sister,
strangely wore a 1920s wedding dress.
01:25:08.730 --> 01:25:12.358
Therese Lisbon, a horse lover, had written
to the Brown University admissions office —
01:25:12.442 --> 01:25:15.653
Yeah, Mary always wanted to be a cheerleader,
but her mother wouldn't let her,
01:25:15.737 --> 01:25:18.198
so I was teaching her the cheers.
01:25:18.281 --> 01:25:19.407
[overlapping voices]
01:25:19.491 --> 01:25:21.117
This has been Lydia Perl
01:25:21.201 --> 01:25:23.203
with Channel 8 news.
01:25:32.295 --> 01:25:35.882
[Mrs. Lisbon]
None of my daughters lacked for any love.
01:25:37.467 --> 01:25:40.094
There was plenty of love in our house.
01:25:41.971 --> 01:25:44.057
I never understood why.
01:25:59.447 --> 01:26:01.074
[engine starts]
01:26:16.256 --> 01:26:18.174
[narrator] After the suicide free-for-all,
01:26:18.258 --> 01:26:21.845
Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon gave up
any attempt to lead a normal life.
01:26:24.264 --> 01:26:27.016
They had Mr. Headley pack up the house,
01:26:27.100 --> 01:26:30.228
selling what furniture he could
in a garage sale.
01:26:32.605 --> 01:26:37.110
Mr. Lisbon put the house on the market,
and it was sold to a young couple from Boston.
01:26:39.112 --> 01:26:42.615
We, of course, took the family photos
that were put out with the trash.
01:26:45.660 --> 01:26:47.662
In the end, we had pieces of the puzzle,
01:26:47.745 --> 01:26:50.665
but no matter how we put them together,
gaps remained.
01:26:51.457 --> 01:26:55.086
Oddly shaped emptiness mapped
by what surrounded them.
01:26:55.169 --> 01:26:57.171
Like countries we couldn't name.
01:26:57.255 --> 01:26:59.591
[clock ticking]
01:27:00.967 --> 01:27:03.177
What lingered after them was not life...
01:27:04.512 --> 01:27:07.599
but the most trivial list of mundane facts.
01:27:10.226 --> 01:27:12.228
A clock ticking on the wall.
01:27:13.897 --> 01:27:16.107
A room dim at noon.
01:27:17.525 --> 01:27:21.738
The outrageousness of a human being
thinking only of herself.
01:27:26.784 --> 01:27:30.204
We began the impossible process
of trying to forget them.
01:27:30.288 --> 01:27:32.290
[ticking continues]
01:27:37.253 --> 01:27:39.964
Our parents seemed better able to do this,
01:27:40.048 --> 01:27:42.967
returning to their tennis foursomes
and cocktail cruises
01:27:43.051 --> 01:27:45.345
as though they'd seen this all before.
01:27:47.722 --> 01:27:49.766
It was full-fledged summer again,
01:27:49.849 --> 01:27:53.144
over a year from the time
Cecilia had slit her wrists,
01:27:53.227 --> 01:27:55.229
spreading the poison in the air.
01:27:56.439 --> 01:27:58.858
A spill at the plant increased
the phosphates in the lake
01:27:58.942 --> 01:28:03.279
and produced a scum of algae so thick
that the swamp smell filled the air,
01:28:03.363 --> 01:28:05.573
infiltrating the genteel mansions.
01:28:06.950 --> 01:28:09.911
Debutantes cried over the misfortune
of coming out in a season
01:28:09.994 --> 01:28:12.497
everyone would remember for its bad smell.
01:28:13.998 --> 01:28:16.417
The O'Connors, however,
came up with the ingenious solution
01:28:16.501 --> 01:28:19.587
of making the theme of their
daughter Alice's debutante party
01:28:19.671 --> 01:28:21.297
asphyxiation.
01:28:22.465 --> 01:28:26.302
Like everyone else,
we went to forget about the Lisbon girls.
01:28:27.762 --> 01:28:29.764
[chattering, laughing]
01:29:14.892 --> 01:29:16.519
[chatters]
01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:20.565
[retching]
01:29:21.274 --> 01:29:23.735
Al's got the, uh, acting bug.
01:29:25.278 --> 01:29:27.697
She caught it from Pinkie.
01:29:28.990 --> 01:29:31.993
And I wanna announce tonight
that next fall,
01:29:32.076 --> 01:29:35.455
Alice is going to a little school
in New Haven.
01:29:38.374 --> 01:29:41.461
I hear they have a great drama school.
01:29:41.544 --> 01:29:44.380
In fact, Sam,
I think your father built it, didn't he?
01:29:44.464 --> 01:29:47.550
- [Sam] That's the law school.
- [chuckling]
01:29:47.633 --> 01:29:50.636
We're so proud of Alice.
We really couldn't be prouder.
01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:53.639
- [woman] Aw. Cheers.
- [crowd] Cheers.
01:29:59.687 --> 01:30:01.689
I've had it.
01:30:01.773 --> 01:30:04.025
Good-bye, cruel world.
01:30:10.198 --> 01:30:13.034
No, no, no. You don't understand me.
01:30:13.117 --> 01:30:15.453
I'm a teenager. I got problems.
01:30:26.798 --> 01:30:29.967
So much has been said
about the girls over the years...
01:30:31.719 --> 01:30:33.930
but we have never found an answer.
01:30:36.974 --> 01:30:39.268
It didn't matter in the end
how old they had been...
01:30:41.687 --> 01:30:43.523
or that they were girls.
01:30:46.275 --> 01:30:48.444
But only that we had loved them...
01:30:49.529 --> 01:30:51.697
and that they hadn't heard us calling,
01:30:51.781 --> 01:30:54.909
still do not hear us calling them
out of those rooms...
01:30:56.077 --> 01:30:58.704
where they went to be alone for all time...
01:31:00.456 --> 01:31:04.210
and where we will never find the pieces
to put them back together.
