Jenkins: Then, I suppose
you can be excused
202
00:50:59,598 --> 00:51:01,350
for not knowing that the
City of New York
203

is not in the business of
giving assistance

Of course, I wish you the
best in all your-
207
00:51:12,987 --> 00:51:14,072
Is this
208
00:51:14,823 --> 00:51:16,742
the Mayor’s decision
209
00:51:17,533 --> 00:51:18,702
or is it yours?
210

Pardon me?

00:51:24,540 --> 00:51:26,543
I’d prefer to discuss this
with the Mayor,

simply cannot allow you
214

to solicit funds from City Hall.
215
00:51:35,385 --> 00:51:36,762
Because I’m Italian?
216
00:51:37,803 --> 00:51:41,098
The Archdiocese has worked
many years indeed,
217
00:51:41,223 --> 00:51:43,893
to earn the support of the
highest echelons of this City.
218
00:51:44,018 --> 00:51:45,728
I will not put that at risk.

that in America, the
greatest nation on earth,
253

children of Five Points?

“Even Rats Have It Better.” By
Theodore Calloway.

Over the last several months,
262
00:59:36,782 --> 00:59:39,202
a group of dark-eyed nuns,
263
00:59:39,327 --> 00:59:42,455
led by a frail woman
named Cabrini,
264
00:59:42,872 --> 00:59:44,623
have been taking the
risk of entering
265
00:59:44,748 --> 00:59:46,917

266
00:59:47,043 --> 00:59:49,295
where not even police
dare to enter.
267
00:59:56,802 --> 00:59:58,428
To each child,
268
00:59:58,553 --> 00:59:59,638
Cabrini makes a promise,
269
01:00:01,265 --> 01:00:03,600
“Soon we shall have a
bed for you.”
270
01:00:05,353 --> 01:00:07,397
These kids are coming home
with us tonight.
271
01:00:12,943 --> 01:00:14,445

272
01:00:14,570 --> 01:00:17,157

American citizens,

they now live.

...will always be protected
by the government.

01:00:25,205 --> 01:00:26,873
And they sing in Italian,
277
01:00:27,333 --> 01:00:30,293

land they came from.

For she believes the wounds
these children bear
281
01:00:41,263 --> 01:00:43,767
can only be healed through love,
282
01:00:44,392 --> 01:00:46,560

education of the heart.

the girl’s family,
288
01:01:02,452 --> 01:01:06,247

claimed her as their own.

as immigrants?

what kind of New
York do we want?
302
01:02:21,697 --> 01:02:23,950
The one imagined by City Hall,
303
01:02:24,158 --> 01:02:26,577
where the Italian is voiceless,
304
01:02:26,702 --> 01:02:28,703
quarantined in slums?
305
01:02:39,007 --> 01:02:41,967
Or do we want the New York that
Cabrini imagines --
306
01:02:43,928 --> 01:02:46,930
where the Italian is our
equal in dignity,
307
01:02:47,055 --> 01:02:50,017
and their children have a
chance to live?
308
01:02:55,355 --> 01:02:56,357
Cabrini: Here.
309
01:02:57,275 --> 01:02:59,443
Concetta: Oh, but didn’t the
Archbishop say--
310
01:02:59,568 --> 01:03:01,945
The Archbishop ordered us
not to beg here.
311
01:03:03,113 --> 01:03:04,407
Cabrini: So we won’t.
312
01:03:05,950 --> 01:03:07,660
We will live here instead.

That’s not exactly how
she operates.
319
01:04:39,668 --> 01:04:42,963
So you let a woman
push you around,

used to live.
373
01:08:32,985 --> 01:08:34,945
What I’d like you to do is
to keep your crime
374
01:08:35,070 --> 01:08:37,490
and your filth out of
this neighborhood.
375
01:08:38,323 --> 01:08:39,742
What crime?
376
01:08:41,410 --> 01:08:43,412
You have seven days to make
all modifications
377
01:08:43,537 --> 01:08:45,622
and pay all fines or you will
be evicted at once.
378
01:08:46,290 --> 01:08:47,373
At which time,
379
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:48,875
you can move back to
Five Points,
380
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,420
pack’em in there like
herrings in a barrel.
381
01:09:08,062 --> 01:09:10,813
You’ve acted in direct
disobedience, Mother.
382
01:09:12,107 --> 01:09:14,568
I was ordered not to
solicit Americans,
383
01:09:14,693 --> 01:09:15,903
and I did not.
384
01:09:16,403 --> 01:09:17,697
America came to me.
385
01:09:17,822 --> 01:09:20,240
Oh, that’s clever.
386
01:09:21,533 --> 01:09:22,952
But you’ve strayed into waters
387
01:09:23,077 --> 01:09:24,953
that are far too deep for you.
388
01:09:25,703 --> 01:09:27,372
Maybe you could run to
the papers again,
389
01:09:27,497 --> 01:09:30,500
maybe you could raise enough
to pay the fines,
390
01:09:30,625 --> 01:09:33,045
but the Mayor will find a
way to get you out
391
01:09:34,297 --> 01:09:36,673
-- if he has to have
his rowdies plant
392
01:09:36,798 --> 01:09:39,843
a dead body in your yard, he
will get you out
393
01:09:39,968 --> 01:09:42,722
-- and your children will be
right back in the rubbish dump.
394
01:09:44,973 --> 01:09:47,935
Now, I don’t want to see that
any more than you do.
395
01:09:49,228 --> 01:09:51,980
So, I have a proposition.
396
01:09:53,065 --> 01:09:57,695
The Jesuits own a property
just north of here,
397
01:09:58,987 --> 01:10:02,407
one they’d be willing to part
with at a discount,
398
01:10:02,532 --> 01:10:06,620
but only for the right cause.
399
01:10:12,835 --> 01:10:16,463
There’s fifteen acres,
400
01:10:16,588 --> 01:10:19,967
views of the Hudson,
and room to play.
401
01:10:23,137 --> 01:10:26,182
You know I couldn’t
possibly afford this.
402
01:10:26,307 --> 01:10:28,142
How much can you afford?
403
01:10:29,058 --> 01:10:31,353
Have you come to make
fun of me...?
404
01:10:31,478 --> 01:10:32,855
Let me ask this way
405
01:10:32,980 --> 01:10:35,523
-- how much do you have right
now in your bank account?
406
01:10:37,818 --> 01:10:41,363
Nine hundred sixteen dollars
and twelve cents.
407
01:10:41,488 --> 01:10:42,197
Mostly pennies.
408
01:10:42,322 --> 01:10:43,740
Let’s call it a thousand,
409
01:10:43,865 --> 01:10:47,243
I’ll chip in the difference.
410
01:10:47,368 --> 01:10:49,413
And the Jesuits, they
will accept, but...
411
01:10:52,082 --> 01:10:56,753
the property does
have a certain...
412
01:10:58,422 --> 01:10:59,965
Well, it’s a challenge.
413
01:11:00,090 --> 01:11:01,842
So how about we just discuss
414
01:11:01,967 --> 01:11:04,135
that while we’re there,
shall we?
415
01:11:04,260 --> 01:11:04,970

I shall be buried here.
421
01:13:06,048 --> 01:13:07,717

are the wells.

Cabrini: There’s no water?
None at all?
425
01:14:06,818 --> 01:14:09,153
The Jesuits spent a lot
of money looking.
426
01:14:09,988 --> 01:14:11,990
But they had 300 men.
427
01:14:12,532 --> 01:14:14,827
Far too many to support
without a well.
428
01:14:15,952 --> 01:14:17,913
If you keep your numbers low,
429
01:14:18,247 --> 01:14:19,998
maybe you can find a way.
430
01:14:24,252 --> 01:14:25,795

436
01:14:46,192 --> 01:14:47,943
So we will start from the north.
437

01:30:06,485 --> 01:30:10,948
I figure anyone who came here on
a boat, anyone at all,
554
01:30:12,032 --> 01:30:13,742
I owe them a hand.
555
01:30:14,993 --> 01:30:17,538
As does Mother Cabrini.
556
01:30:26,130 --> 01:30:28,548
When I stepped off the boat,
557
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:33,345
gentlemen, not so long ago,
558
01:30:35,388 --> 01:30:38,433
I had to learn words that were
not in my dictionary.
559
01:30:40,562 --> 01:30:43,147
Dago. Guinea pig.
560
01:30:45,232 --> 01:30:48,360
Words said with such disdain,
such hate,
561
01:30:50,488 --> 01:30:52,948
that they cut just like a knife.
562
01:30:55,743 --> 01:30:58,997
When your fathers
first came here
563
01:30:59,830 --> 01:31:02,792
did they not also have
to learn words
564
01:31:03,417 --> 01:31:10,465
such as Kike, Mick, Polack?
565
01:31:12,133 --> 01:31:13,468
And even now,
566
01:31:13,593 --> 01:31:15,470
in this fine neighborhood --
567
01:31:15,597 --> 01:31:17,138
don’t you still hear
568
01:31:17,557 --> 01:31:20,685
those names whispered
behind your back?
569
01:31:23,980 --> 01:31:27,650
I ask you to take those names,
and turn them into a hospital.
570
01:31:29,152 --> 01:31:31,862
I propose purchasing
this property
571
01:31:32,028 --> 01:31:34,615
and renovating it for 400 beds,
572
01:31:34,990 --> 01:31:37,952
with services fine enough to
attract the wealthy.
573
01:31:38,410 --> 01:31:40,162
The fees we earn here,
574
01:31:40,412 --> 01:31:42,080
we use to fund the needs
575
01:31:42,248 --> 01:31:44,833
of the immigrant with nothing.
576
01:31:45,543 --> 01:31:49,005
Who will also be treated by
the finest doctors,
577
01:31:50,255 --> 01:31:52,925
so that America will learn
578
01:31:54,052 --> 01:31:57,763
we are more than Kike and Polack
and butcher’s meat.
579
01:32:00,933 --> 01:32:02,310
But you don’t even
have the funds
580
01:32:02,435 --> 01:32:04,520
to sustain the hospital
in Five Points.
581
01:32:09,567 --> 01:32:13,112
Begin the mission and the
means will come.
582
01:32:16,198 --> 01:32:18,658
This mission begins tonight,
583
01:32:19,702 --> 01:32:20,995

584
01:32:22,372 --> 01:32:23,747

585
01:32:25,165 --> 01:32:27,208

Abrams makes a pledge
593
01:32:52,568 --> 01:32:53,860
I see no reason why
his colleagues
594
01:32:53,987 --> 01:32:55,195
wouldn’t follow suit.
595
01:32:56,072 --> 01:32:59,158
It won’t put a dent in the
grand total but...
596
01:33:00,075 --> 01:33:01,118
it’s a start.
597
01:33:01,452 --> 01:33:03,203

01:33:03,870 --> 01:33:07,458

zero to his pledge.

on behalf of the Mayor,

I promise you that this is the
last time New York will ever

see an Italian Festival.
623
01:38:33,158 --> 01:38:37,453
The fines, including those
attended upon your arrest,
624
01:38:37,578 --> 01:38:41,792
amount to 3,111 dollars,
625

655

are to be disbanded,

to return to Italy.

appropriately.

You ask me to destroy my houses

and run back to Italy
like a criminal.

737
01:59:29,538 --> 01:59:33,375
is digging the whole bloody
tunnel from old Croton Dam.
738
01:59:33,500 --> 01:59:36,753
So you lads can drink cool
water from a tap.
739
01:59:38,755 --> 01:59:40,507
And don’t you forget it.”
740
01:59:44,137 --> 01:59:46,097
Well, I never did forget.
741
01:59:50,893 --> 01:59:53,187
Please don’t think I
don’t understand.
742
01:59:55,857 --> 01:59:58,483
Or that I don’t on some level
743
02:00:00,485 --> 02:00:02,195
admire what you’re doing.
744
02:00:05,867 --> 02:00:07,618
But please know, Mother,
745
02:00:08,327 --> 02:00:11,330
that you have swatted the
hornet’s nest.
746
02:00:12,832 --> 02:00:14,750
And neither I nor the Pope
747
02:00:15,250 --> 02:00:17,002
can protect you from
what may come.
748
02:00:26,220 --> 02:00:28,138
Good morning, Mr. Merton.
749
02:00:34,645 --> 02:00:36,147
Francesca Cabrini.
750
02:00:41,402 --> 02:00:43,028
Shall we begin?
751
02:00:43,153 --> 02:00:43,947
[soft music]
752
02:00:44,113 --> 02:00:47,450
Of course half of the
workers must be Italian.
753
02:00:47,575 --> 02:00:49,993
Italian? No, no, no. Sorry,
sister.
754
02:00:50,118 --> 02:00:52,705
We built Rome, I am sure we
can build a hospital.
755
02:00:52,830 --> 02:00:53,580
I’m afraid-
756
02:00:53,705 --> 02:00:55,082
It is not negotiable.
757
02:00:55,207 --> 02:00:57,627
And all workers --
including Italians --
758
02:00:57,752 --> 02:00:59,587
must get the same pay.
759
02:01:01,380 --> 02:01:04,008
We’ll see what Dr. Murphy has
to say about that.
760
02:01:04,133 --> 02:01:06,593
You’ll have to do as I say, Mr.
Merton.
761
02:01:09,638 --> 02:01:12,265
And from now on, the sisters
and I sleep here.
762
02:01:16,228 --> 02:01:17,897
[female opera singing]
763
02:01:38,542 --> 02:01:41,878
No, no Salvitore...

[determining music]
773
02:04:56,740 --> 02:04:59,577
I have a favor to ask, Mr.
Calloway.
774
02:05:11,380 --> 02:05:12,965
Cabrini: I will see the Mayor.
775
02:05:14,717 --> 02:05:15,842
Now, Mr. Jenkins.
776
02:05:15,968 --> 02:05:17,302
You will never see the Mayor.
777
02:05:18,970 --> 02:05:21,640
Mr. Calloway wants a
front page story.
778
02:05:21,765 --> 02:05:24,017
And Mother is the only one
holding it back.
779
02:05:24,977 --> 02:05:26,770
So I’d do as she says.
780
02:05:37,948 --> 02:05:39,032
Jenkins: Mr. Mayor.
781
02:05:41,243 --> 02:05:42,662
Mother Cabrini.
782
02:05:43,453 --> 02:05:44,788
Cabrini: Your Honor.
783
02:05:44,997 --> 02:05:45,998
[violin music]
784
02:05:46,540 --> 02:05:48,125
Where’s Calloway?
785
02:05:49,125 --> 02:05:52,545
Cabrini: I’d like to speak to
the Mayor alone, Mr. Jenkins.
786
02:06:10,855 --> 02:06:12,608
- Do you know why I am here, Mr.
Mayor?
787
02:06:12,733 --> 02:06:14,318
Mayor: Not in the least.
788
02:06:14,818 --> 02:06:17,445
Are you aware of the fire at my
construction site?
789
02:06:17,947 --> 02:06:20,073
Mayor: If I was kept abreast of
every fire in this--
790
02:06:20,198 --> 02:06:21,575
It was arson.
791
02:06:21,700 --> 02:06:23,910
The Detective Unit is on
the third floor.
792
02:06:24,035 --> 02:06:25,620
Is there anything else I
can help you with?
793
02:06:25,745 --> 02:06:27,707
Cabrini: Lives were
almost lost...
794
02:06:27,832 --> 02:06:28,957
And I am willing to believe
795
02:06:29,082 --> 02:06:30,500
that whoever did this
796
02:06:30,667 --> 02:06:32,293
thought the place was empty.
797
02:06:34,463 --> 02:06:35,838
Careful, Mother.
798
02:06:42,553 --> 02:06:45,140
I am not here to accuse.
799
02:06:46,433 --> 02:06:49,478
Mr. Calloway, however,
has his own ideas.
800
02:06:51,147 --> 02:06:54,358
I believe I am being
threatened by a nun.
801
02:06:54,942 --> 02:06:56,193
Cabrini: If Mr. Calloway-
802
02:06:56,318 --> 02:06:58,070
Mr. Calloway is a lying
son of a bitch!
803
02:06:58,195 --> 02:06:59,780
Cabrini: Mr. Calloway
is a friend.
804
02:07:00,155 --> 02:07:02,407
Who would be delighted to hear
that you have put your support
805
02:07:02,615 --> 02:07:03,867
behind my hospital
806
02:07:03,992 --> 02:07:04,993
and the good work of-
807
02:07:05,118 --> 02:07:07,370
Oh, no, no, no!
808
02:07:07,495 --> 02:07:09,998
If you think you’re gonna march
in here and tell me-
809
02:07:10,123 --> 02:07:11,333
I want the best hospital!
810
02:07:11,917 --> 02:07:13,168
For your people
811
02:07:13,752 --> 02:07:14,837
and for mine!
812
02:07:14,962 --> 02:07:15,837
Oh, what rot!
813
02:07:15,962 --> 02:07:19,425
Cabrini: You may think we are
lazy, dirty animals,
814
02:07:20,425 --> 02:07:23,678
but someday, sooner
than you think,
815
02:07:24,388 --> 02:07:26,557
there will be an Italian
in this office!
816
02:07:26,682 --> 02:07:28,808
-And he will not be cleaning it!
817
02:07:30,102 --> 02:07:31,603
-He will be running New York.
818
02:07:33,438 --> 02:07:37,483
Because most of these ‘Dagos’
819
02:07:38,568 --> 02:07:40,237
are already Americans!
820
02:07:51,832 --> 02:07:54,377
You have an election coming up,
do you not?
821
02:07:58,463 --> 02:08:00,257
- Support my work now,
822
02:08:00,673 --> 02:08:02,633
and you will have their loyalty.
823
02:08:03,968 --> 02:08:05,220
That I promise.
824
02:08:06,805 --> 02:08:09,933
And if I cannot have
your support,
825
02:08:10,642 --> 02:08:13,103
I will settle for
your protection.
826
02:08:16,607 --> 02:08:19,527
Mr. Calloway will be very
happy to hear it,
827
02:08:20,277 --> 02:08:22,570
as will the voters of
Five Points.
828
02:08:33,457 --> 02:08:35,250
And I thought you
were new at this.
829
02:08:58,482 --> 02:08:59,567
Yes, please.
830
02:09:02,277 --> 02:09:04,738
Now, I need to know that this is
the end of all the fires,
831
02:09:04,863 --> 02:09:06,615
of any kind.
832
02:09:07,992 --> 02:09:10,160
And I am willing to take
your word for it,
833
02:09:10,827 --> 02:09:12,453
because you are a good man,
834
02:09:13,705 --> 02:09:15,290
and good men don’t lie to nuns.
835
02:09:17,750 --> 02:09:19,002
[glasses clink]
836
02:09:22,463 --> 02:09:24,382
It’s a shame that you’re
a woman, Mother.
837
02:09:25,883 --> 02:09:28,053
You would have made an
excellent man.
838
02:09:30,472 --> 02:09:31,557
Oh no, Mr. Mayor.
839
02:09:40,773 --> 02:09:42,943
Men could never do what we do.
840
02:09:50,033 --> 02:09:51,327
[swell to triumphant music]
841

“An Empire of Hope,” by
Theodore Calloway.
843
02:10:22,357 --> 02:10:26,612
My dear friend, Frances
Xavier Cabrini,
844
02:10:26,737 --> 02:10:29,907
arrived in New York with nothing
but a small suitcase
845
02:10:30,032 --> 02:10:31,450
and a few sisters --
846
02:10:31,825 --> 02:10:35,620
and went on to become one of the
great entrepreneurs of her time.
847
02:10:38,332 --> 02:10:39,667
Her first hospital --
848
02:10:39,792 --> 02:10:42,210
built amid the smoke of
controversy --
849
02:10:42,335 --> 02:10:45,463
was soon considered one of the
finest in all New York,
850
02:10:46,130 --> 02:10:48,758
and was a source of
pride and healing
851
02:10:48,883 --> 02:10:51,303
and hope for immigrants
of all nations.
852
02:10:53,722 --> 02:10:56,475
Cabrini and her sisters went
on to found hundreds
853
02:10:56,600 --> 02:10:59,352
of hospitals, orphanages,
schools,
854
02:10:59,477 --> 02:11:02,313
and aid centers all
around the world...
855
02:11:03,315 --> 02:11:04,858
on every continent...
856
02:11:06,652 --> 02:11:10,072
including institutions
deep in China.
857
02:11:13,200 --> 02:11:15,243
It was the largest
charitable empire
858
02:11:15,368 --> 02:11:17,120
the world had ever known --
859
02:11:18,788 --> 02:11:20,290
an accomplishment equal to that
860
02:11:20,415 --> 02:11:23,043
of any Rockefeller
or Vanderbilt.
861
02:11:24,502 --> 02:11:28,090
And all of her institutions
were run by women.
862
02:11:33,553 --> 02:11:35,847
Cabrini continued to defy death
863
02:11:36,097 --> 02:11:38,183
until the age of 67.
864
02:11:39,225 --> 02:11:41,437
She was buried at her
grand orphanage
865
02:11:41,645 --> 02:11:43,313
high above the Hudson,
866
02:11:43,522 --> 02:11:45,190
just as she predicted.
867
02:11:47,943 --> 02:11:49,277
She was canonized
868
02:11:49,402 --> 02:11:51,905
at St. Peter’s Basilica
in the Vatican.
869
02:11:53,407 --> 02:11:54,407
The great plaza --
870
02:11:54,532 --> 02:11:56,368
across which she had
walked alone
871
02:11:56,493 --> 02:11:58,037
so many years before -
872
02:11:58,495 --> 02:12:00,372
was packed to bursting.
873
02:12:03,375 --> 02:12:05,668
Just as Cabrini had
wrapped her arms
874
02:12:05,793 --> 02:12:08,297
around the forgotten immigrant,
875
02:12:08,422 --> 02:12:11,425
America now embraced her as
one of its own.
876
02:12:12,925 --> 02:12:14,845
A celebration was held
in her honor at
877
02:12:14,970 --> 02:12:16,888
Chicago’s Soldier Field,
878
02:12:17,222 --> 02:12:19,182
while hundreds of thousands more
879
02:12:19,307 --> 02:12:22,310
listened on radios all
across the country.
880
02:12:24,562 --> 02:12:26,982
Cabrini was the first
American saint,
881
02:12:28,275 --> 02:12:31,027
and is the patron saint of
all immigrants.
882
02:12:32,737 --> 02:12:36,367
And even now she
begs us to ask –
883
02:12:37,242 --> 02:12:39,535
what kind of world do we want?
884
02:12:41,120 --> 02:12:44,123
And what will we do
to achieve it?
