Watch your step,
Well, well,
You must be Heaven,
Miss Heaven Leigh Van Voreen Casteel,
I'm Tony Tatterton,
I'm your grandfather,
Not biologically, of course,
I am simply married to your grandmother,
She's quite a woman,
You'll see,
Leigh's hair was different,
It's just funny hearing you call her Leigh,
because back home, everyone just called her Angel,
Angel?
Hmm,
So this is where my mother grew up?
Farthinggale Manor,
We call it "Farthy,"
Wow, It looks like a fairytale,
What's that?
You must never go in there, do you hear me?
That is our hedge maze,
And an inquisitive young lady like yourself
could get lost in there-- very lost,
I hope that, during your stay,
you and I will grow as close as your mother and I did,
No! Don't do that!
The driver will open the door for you
as is only befitting a step-granddaughter of mine,
This is beautiful,,,
And, uh,,, And these, What are,,,
Picture dolls, Our specialty,
My company, Tatterton Toys,
makes many products,
but that's the one
we're famous for,
Each one is hand-crafted
and made to look like one of our customer's loved ones,
Yes, I believe you had one of these made for my mother?
Yes, We did,
It disappeared when she ran away,
Do you have it?
No,
No, I'm sorry, I don't,
I'm,,, really excited to meet my grandmother,
I recommend you only tell nice stories about your mother,
Jillian had very mixed feelings about Leigh,
Tony, Tony, don't touch her,
She must be so very, very dirty!
You don't want to get any of that backwoods grime
on that beautiful suit of yours,
And you, young lady, close that gaping maw,
What do you want to do, catch flies?
No, No, I'm just so excited
to finally meet you, Grandmother,
Oh, Good heavens,
No titles, please,
I'm really not nearly old enough to be your grandmother, am I?
Well, no, but,,, you are,
When I bore your mother into this world,
I was far, far too young,
Ridiculously young,
Maids, Transform this ragamuffin
into something suitable to our good company,
And don't let her touch anything of value,
I think that's everything,
Only come back down to me when you're suitable,
Your mother's room,
This was her room?
Yes!
Your grandmother wanted me to get rid of everything,
but I refused,
I insisted we keep it all exactly the way it was,
Why does Miss Heaven still have her shoes on?
And why aren't her feet up, after her long journey?
I'll see you at dinner, my dear Heaven,
Thank you so much,
If I may ask,
how long will you be visiting, Miss?
Will you be here through the weekend?
My grandmother wrote to me that she wanted me to come stay,
as in,,, live here,
The mistress said you'd be staying for a few days is all,
Just a couple of days at the most,
Oh,
But I have nowhere else to go,
My dear brother, Tom,
I've arrived at last
and I finally met my grandmother,
Emphasis on "grand,"
I must, must,must
make her like me
so she will let me stay,
I need this new beginning so desperately,
What are you doing?
Oh, uh, I'm just writing my brother, Tom,
Telling him how wonderful my new grandparents are,
and how beautiful your home is,
How I very much would like to stay,
The maid implied I'd only be able
to stay here for a few days, but,,,
Your grandmother
has an extremely fragile disposition,
I'll be as quiet as a church mouse, I promise,
I can help clean, cook, do chores, I--
Clearly, we have no need for that,
I'm sorry,
but Jillian just isn't keen on the idea,
She insisted, only a few days,
Why?
Why doesn't my own grandmother want me?
I will try to convince her,
I will, and I will do so
in honor of your dear mother,
But you listen to me, young lady,
If I give you a home,
and all that goes with it,
I will expect certain things from you in return,
Are you willing to give me what I demand?
I,,,
Everything in life has a price,,,
I'm sure you have become well aware of that,
I can make your name respectable,
I can give you a family
of which you'd be proud to belong,
But in order for me to bestow these precious pearls upon you,
I must demand
complete and total obedience,
Do you want to be a somebody?
Do you?
Yes,
Good,
Heaven,
It's the big one,
Thank you,
Oh, Sorry,
A wine glass is missing, Get it now,
No, not you!
Oh, God,
Clean that up and get out of my sight,
I'm so sorry, I--
Goodness,
Well, then, Heaven,
I've been told
that you expect to take advantage of our generosity
and move right in
now that you've seen our wealth,
No, I think I misunderstood your letter, is all,
Clearly,
This isn't about the wealth, Jillian,
This is about family,
Jillian, dear, she is your flesh and blood,
As you know,
I always considered Leigh to be my own,
though there were only 10 years difference
between her and I,
Must you always insist on reminding me
how much older than you I am?
Heaven,
Will you tell us about your mother's life?
She left here for love,
Please, tell us that love proved worthwhile,
Mm,
It was,
They were deeply in love, my mother and,,, my dad,
Was he a good man?
Get out!
Wonderful,
He was a country soul,
but genteel in his way,
And, um,,,
they had a white wedding, I hope?
Did she wear white?
She wore white, yeah, Definitely,
Church wedding,
and flowers as far as the eye could see,
Mm, Good,
Good,
Pour me some more,
And what about you, Heaven?
When did you come into the picture?
Obviously, they didn't wait long to have you,
Leigh left here,,, when was it, darling?
18 years ago?
They waited at least a year before having me,
They were very respectable in that way,
So that would make you,,,
16 years old?
Uh, yes, yes, 16,
I'm 16,
This is all delicious, by the way,
And what of her funeral?
Was it a,,,
a well-attended affair?
Her funeral,,,
right,
Um,,,
I don't really remember it that well,
me being so young,
But, you know, her death was devastating,
so it's all kind of a blur,
I understand,,,
She died in my heart the day she ran away,
Tears do the most dreadful things to my skin and,,,
,,,make me have puffy eyes,
I'm gonna go rest
before bed,
Uh, I think you could stay just a week,
perhaps, but no more,
My poor heart couldn't take it,
I'll see you up, darling,
Oh, I'm so sorry, You just,,,
scared me,
Why are you crying?
Because I'm scared,
I'm so anxious, I,,,
Why can't my own grandmother find it in her heart
to let me stay?
Do you really think I can persuade her
to let you stay here forever?
No!
No, no, I wouldn't dare to ask that, I,,,
Maybe just until I'm 18,
It's only a year or,,,
You mean two years,
Right, Right,
So, two years,
Just two, please?
I persuaded her,
Oh!
Thank you,
Mm,,,
I must, um,,,
I must go,
You called for me?
Let me be clear with you, Heaven,
When I told you I wanted you
to leave your backwoods life behind,
I meant completely,
Do not even attempt to contact anyone from there,
Do you understand?
You must be completely present in this world
that Jillian and I have bestowed upon you,
So you mean I,,,
I won't be able to write my brother anymore?
No,
And remember,,,
you have nowhere else to go,
A first-class education and a bright future
are in store for you here as a Tatterton,
but your focus is required,
You do want to go to college, don't you?
It's all I've wanted my whole life,
Well, you'll be competing for spots at the best schools
against young women who have received quality educations
and proper upbringings,
You reap what you sow, Heaven,
I-I understand,
Good,
Then we agree,
Thank you,
I promised I would do anything
to bring us all back under one roof some day, Tom,
So although Tony's asked me to stop corresponding with you,
there's no way I can do that,
I'll find a way to stay in touch,
no matter what he says,
I can't let him control every part of me,
Sir?
I,,, I accidentally got lost in your hedge maze,
You must be Heaven,
So how did you know it was me?
I know a fair amount about you,
and yet you know nothing about me,
I'm Troy Tatterton, Tony's younger brother,
He never mentioned me to you?
Well, I'm sure he has his reasons,
He has his reasons for everything,
So you live here?
Yes,
Jillian can't tolerate the noise from my work, so,
You make these?
Well, somebody has to,
I just thought there was a factory, or,,,
I don't know,
Fair enough,
I guess I should've said
"somebody has to design the toys,"
you know, make the prototypes,
Sounds like you're the most important part
of Tatterton Toys,
Tony does the hard part,
the selling and the bookkeeping,
Uh,,, maybe I shouldn't,
Did I say something to upset you?
No! No, not at all,
I just-- the last time I had wine,
you know, it kind of changed my life forever,
I should get going,
-Uh-huh, -But thank you,
Goodbye, Heaven,
I've been looking everywhere for you,
Were you trying to worry Jillian and me?
No,
Well, where were you?
I was in the hedge maze,
You went in the hedge maze
after I expressly told you not to?
Yes! But I knew I-I wouldn't get lost,
Well, did you make it through?
No,
No, I just came back out the front,
Tony, why are you shouting?
Why?
My head,
Please, excuse my outburst, darling,
My brother, Troy,
lives in a cottage on the other side of the maze,
If we are to continue our arrangement,
you need to assure me
that you will never spend any time with him,
Okay,
Good,
Now you will see my generosity,
And to officially christen your new life,
I'll need to,,,
transform you,
Wow,
You look,,,
beautiful,
I love it,
It's stunning,
I'm delighted I bought it for you,
Oh,
It's lovely,
I think this one might be my favorite so far,
I like it,
-For the Fall,
-Yeah, -Right?
Oh, I think the hat's a winner,
I think you still need,,,
just one more,,,
thing,
May I?
It's beautiful,
I have one more surprise for you,
I got you an interview
at the very best private school in New England,
Really?
Mm-hmm,
You'll be sorry,
Mr, Tatterton
has made a very generous donation
to our school
in order that we consideradmitting you,
Of course, no sum of money guarantees admittance,
We can't just let anyone in here,
Especially someone with a backwoods education,
Yes,
Uh, yes, well,
I-I facilitated most of my own education
above and beyond what was taught in school,
Is that so?
What was your favorite subject?
If I had to choose one--
literature,
And who are your favorite writers?
Well, you can't go wrong with Shakespeare,
His words resonate 400 years later and,,,
of the modern classic writers,
I'd say Fitzgerald,
Hmm,
And your favorite Fitzgerald?
Uh, well, you know, most people think
The Great Gatsby is his best work,
but I personally think he saved the best for last--
Tender is the Night,
It was misunderstood in its time,
I couldn't agree more,
My, how I wish our girls
would take such interest in the classics,
I think you'll fit in just fine,
You'll stay on campus during the week,
and back to your grandparents on the weekend,
Didn't I tell you you had nothing to worry about?
Well, I, I just--
I promise I will not let either of you down,
I'll study harder that anyone here,
I have no doubt,
Ahh, This is where I leave you, then,
I'll see you on the weekend,
Thank you,
Shall we?
",,,The queer old balloon man whistles far and wee
and Betty and Isabel come dancing
from hopscotch and jump-rope,
and it's spring
and the goat-footed balloon man whistles far and wee,"
Ladies, this is our newest student,
Why don't you tell them a little about yourself?
Hi,
I'm Heaven, uh, Van Voreen,
"Heaven"? What the hell kind of name is that?
This is a warning
for your language, young lady,
I'm just saying
that "Heaven" can't possibly be someone's real name,
Oh, well, it is, it is my name,
And the quick story is,
I've just learned of my real family
and I've come here to live with them,
And I'm super-excited to be here
in this prestigious learning environment,
Thank you,
Mm, calm down, It's just school,
Heaven will be
in Selwyn 202,
Now, who is in Selwyn 201 and 203?
Right,
Well, I will ask you two
to please look out for Heaven this week
and show her around,
Lucky little piece of trash, aren't you?
The rumor is
you won the biggest lottery ticket in town,
being related to the Tatterton family,
but not by blood,
No amount of fancy clothes or fancy schools
will hide the hillbilly garbage you are,
Like putting lipstick on a pig,
Seriously,,, don't mind her,
She's all talk,
I've found it's best just to laugh along,
and soon enough, they'll accept you,
Come on, Let's go,
So there's a couple good places in the neighborhood,
but this one's the best for people-watching,
Don't be so obvious,
-What? -Close your mouth!
-Okay, -College guys
like it when you play it cool,
Right, Um,,,
Oh, yes,
Um,,, that's Logan,
My-- My ex-boyfriend from my hometown,
Like, the ex-boyfriend? Seriously, that's him?
Oh! What are the odds?
My brother wrote me
that he'd be starting college near Boston,
Are you gonna go talk to him?
This is such a good opportunity to patch things up,
Well, show him how much better your life is now,
Right? Like you said,
you're not the same girl you were back then,
Thanks for the coffee,
Yeah, anytime,
And I'm,,, I'm sorry about Logan,
No,
It's probably for the best anyway,
Little late for a friendly visit,
You sure it's all right?
Well, I won't tell if you won't,
Troy,,,
I never knew my mother,
And you had a chance to,
Will you please tell me about her?
Your mother
didn't just light up a room when she entered,
but everyone else lit up when she entered, too,
She took much better care of me than Jillian,
who barely tolerated my presence,
Your mother gave me this,,,
when I was just a boy,
she gave it to me and it made me feel so grown-up,
It's one of my most treasured possessions,
I always keep it with me,
When Leigh ran away, it was very hard for me,
It was kinda like my protective big sister had just disappeared,
Tell me about Winnerow,
Well, I,,,
I moved in with my new mother and father,
Kitty and Cal,
She was,,,
He made me feel safe
for a while, at least, and then we became,,,
,,,intimate,
But I,,, I regret everything now,
We all have regrets,
And there was this other boy, Logan,
We were kind of together while it was all going on, but,,,
he was so hurt,
He never even heard my side of the story,
It's all my fault,
It's not your fault,
It is not your fault what happened with that guy,
do you understand me?
Hi,,, Logan,
Heaven?
What the hell are you doing here?
What, did you follow me here?
I'm going to school here,
I'm living here with my family,
my mom's family,
and I've seen you around a couple times,
I just didn't know what to say,
Can we catch up?
No, I don't want to "catch up," Heaven,
I can hardly look at you after what you did with Cal,
No, No, You didn't even let me explain,
I've grown up a lot this past year,
but I know one thing's for sure--
you're not the man I knew back in Winnerow,
I never want to see you again, Logan,
Yeah, well, that's fine by me,
Troy,
I just had to see you,
This is not a good idea,
I'm not good for you,
You're perfect,
No,
I am far from perfect,
Then you're in good company,
We can't,
I know,
I came up here looking for you,
I was worried, Where have you been?
Oh, um, I was just out on a walk,
Yeah, Yeah, I have a huge paper due this week at school,
and just couldn't sleep,
What's it about?
The,,, the lasting impact
of Jane Austen,
Interesting,
Yeah,
That's what's keeping you up?
Well, the walk helped,
You know, it was keeping me up, but, um,
I had a really stressful week at school,
I'm about to go back to bed in a second,
You seem flushed,,,
out of breath,
Well, it was an intense walk,
And you startled me, that's all,
I see,
Goodnight,
First in your class,
Congratulations, Heaven,
New name, new clothes, new school,,,
You think that's enough for an Ivy League?
You know, the moment you step in for an interview,
they'll smell the mud and moonshine on you,
Oh, and one more thing,
Are you gonna bring your pet racoon
to the formal as a date?
Or are you gonna be wearing it?
Here are three things--
I'm gonna stay at the top of the class,
all right?
I'm gonna have the best time possible at formal,
and I'm gonna make sure that none of you ever forget me,
Nice dress, Princess,
Honey, what do you think you are?
A movie star?
There you go,
Now you'll have a memento
to remind you of the puke you are
and always will be,
Can I just be with you for a bit?
Of course, Always,
Are you okay?
Back on a Saturday this week?
Uh,,,
Oh, yes, I-- I just had a lot of homework,
and decided to finish it there and then come home,
Wasn't there a formal?
Yes,
There was,
but it actually wasn't so formal after all,
Well, when I was your age,
I used to have all the boys in the palm of my hand
at those dances,
Tell me,
were they all just ravenous for you?
One was,
Hmm,,,
Leigh used to walk around with that look,
And your hair,,,
you really should brush it,
Oh, uh,,,
I-I didn't know we were having company,
Of course you didn't, 'cause you weren't told,
Heaven, this is my brother,
Hi,
Troy, is it?
I'm Jillian's granddaughter,
and, uh,
I've been living here,
So I've heard,
Well, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Heaven,
So how have you enjoyed
getting to know your long-lost granddaughter
that you didn't even know you had?
Oh, it's, um, it's just fine,
She's delighted, As am I,
Heaven has exceeded expectations with her grades,
Oh, I could tell you were smart,
Mm, thank you, Trevor,
It's "Troy," Heaven,
Right,
Well, so much for being smart,
Hope your looks hold up to get you by,
Troy is the genius behind the Tatterton madness,
He crafts every prototype for our toys by hand,
Mm! How impressive,
I-- I mean, I've seen your work all around the house,
and, uh, very impressive,
Best toys on the planet,
So, listen,
We called this dinner
as sort of a going-away party,
Jillian and I have decided
to take an impromptu European vacation,
We leave first thing,
Well, it's best to travel while we're still young,
Well said, darling,
Well, uh, what about my graduation?
Oh,,,
um,,,
is that upon us already?
Well,,,
you'll graduate whether we're there or not,
Yes, um, our trip is fully booked,
You understand,
Right,
Right, right, I just,,,
you know, I've just worked so hard and,,,
Well, you don't need anyone to confirm
what you already know, then, do you?
Aw,,,
nobody loves the poor piece of crap,
Sorry we were almost late, Heaven,
Car trouble,
Everyone's here,
Congratulations, Miss Heaven,
We're so proud of you,
Thank you,
Thank you so much!
These past two weeks have been perfect,
I wish they didn't have to end,
And you're perfect,
It's time you learn the truth about me, Heaven,,,
and the reason why we can't actually be together,
Ever since I've been a boy,
I've been haunted by a darkness,
It haunts me every minute of every day,
No,
No, that's not true,
We have so much fun together,
I know,
but it's still there, deep inside me,
Every night,
I dream of my own death,
Perhaps this should run its course now
before you get in too deep,
I don't want you to be hurt,
No, that's nonsense,
Right, you were depressed when you were little,
and that's okay,,,
but we can change your dreams, Troy,
So no more talk of darkness, okay?
I just wish every night could be like this,
Let me try,
Huh?
Will you let me try to make your every night perfect?
I want to be with you more than anything in this world
and I'll never forget what you said to me--
now that I have you,,,
my dreams can change,
Will you marry me, Heaven Van Voreen?
My goodness! Troy,
Is that a yes?
I'm so happy you said yes
because I already got you an engagement present,
I finally found out where each of your siblings are,
Janey, Keith,,,
Tom and Fanny,,,
I--
I thought we could take a trip and visit each of them
before we get married,
How is this all happening to me?
Heaven Casteel?
Van Voreen,
Well, Tatterton soon,
I just remembered, they're coming home soon,
We'll have to tell Tony,
Right,
Hi, How was your trip?
Can't wait to hear all about it,
W--
Troy and I are engaged,
Yeah, and I know you told me not to see him,
but we kinda just bumped into each other,
because this place is big, you know, but it's not that big,
and we love each other so, so much,
And we make each other so happy,
so what else is there besides that?
Well,,,
This is lovely news,
Have you picked a date?
Uh, no,
No, it literally just happened,
I'm sorry, I thought you'd be more upset,
What is there to be upset about?
Two of my favorite people in the world
realized how perfect they are for each other,
something I realized long ago,
Long ago?
When you first came here,
Why do you think I was so keen
to have you stay on at Farthy permanently
when we only expected you for a few days?
You,,, you forbade me to see him,
And your blooming love
was fueled by the fact that it was forbidden,
And I couldn't be happier,
because Troy's never been happier,
Ever since he was put in my care as a young boy
after our parents died,
his happiness has been my number-one concern,
I tried everything to make him happy,
and everything failed,
But when you wandered though my gates,
and I thought I would try something,,,
different,
I must admit, when I first laid eyes on you,
I wished I could have you for myself,
Of course, that was impossible,
What?
Wait,
Why-Why would you even say that, or even think that?
Take it as a compliment, young lady,
I held you in such high regard,
that I asked myself, who could have her?
Who could be good enough for her?
Of course,,,
my brother,
Of course,
I decided simply
to make a relationship between the two of you taboo
and let nature take its course,
I should be furious with you right now,
You've manipulated everyone,
Sure, you could choose to be upset,
Or you could choose to be as happy as I am
for the two of you,
Now, let me be the first to congratulate you,
No,
My God, no, Just no,
I kind of can't believe my brother,
Neither can I,
I mean, how did he manage to make us about him?
I can't stay too mad at him, though,
I mean, he did it for the best and now look at us,
in each other's arms, soon to be married,
You might not have the most normal grandmother
and step-grandfather,
but at least now you'll have siblings
that you can be close with,
Thanks to you,
Now they can all meet the perfect Troy Tatterton,
Oh, hey,,,
You have a fever,
Yeah, maybe a little,
I feel like I'm coming down with the flu,
What?
But I want you to go
and reconnect with your siblings,
like we talked about, okay?
No, No, I'm not going anywhere without you,
Heaven,,,
Let's get you to lay down for just a little bit,
Seriously,,,
Heaven, I want to be your husband
as soon as possible,
but I know how important it is
that you reconnect with your family
before we get married,
So, go,
I'll be with you in spirit,
And do we still tell Tony
I'm shopping for wedding dresses in New York?
Yes, I don't think he's ready to view your family
as anything but backwoods trash that's gonna hold you back,
Just one thing at a time,
Let's just get you better, first,
Heaven Casteel?
It's Heaven Van Voreen now, actually,
You seem to have transformed yourself,
If you mean from the "hillbilly trash,"
I think it was you called me,
then, yes, it's been a great year,
I'll say,
You're unrecognizable,
It's a good thing, Heaven,
Is it, Mrs, Stonewall?
Well, I'm still the same person,
I have be off to a salon appointment,
but I'll be sure to let Logan know you're in town,
-Hi, Fanny,
Oh, my God! Heaven!
What the hell are you doin' here?
Well, I-- I came to surprise you,
How'd you know where to find me?
Well, my fiancé hired a private investigator,
You spyin' on me?
No,
No, no, I just wanted to come see you and the baby,
Hey, what happened?
They convinced me she'd be better off with them,,,
You know, two grown-up parents, him with a job an' all,
Seemed like the right thing to do at the time,
And it was so much money,
Money?
The Reverend and his wife paid me 10 grand for her,
They bought her from you?
Yes,
But it's all gone now,
And now I don't have my baby Darcie neither,
She was so sweet!
My baby girl,
I'm so lonely,
Oh, Fanny, Fanny,
Wow,,, So, fiancé and all, huh?
Yeah,
So you come to gloat?
No, I--
You come to see me lookin' like this,
while you,,,
you're looking and smellin' like a million bucks,
No, no, Fanny, I just--
No need to explain,
Tom already told me about your new, real fancy family,,,
,,,with them fancy cars and soirées,
A million friends, I'm sure,
It's no wonder you never think about us no more,
Hey! Hey, hey, No, I think of you every day,
All of you,
My situation up there's just a little complicated,
You don't know about complicated,
Yes, I do!
You know that better than anyone,
that my life has been so complicated up until now,
Just trust me when I say
I'm gonna have us all living together again,
with me,
What about right now?
I need money now,
Uh,,,
Let's just see what I have in here,
Um,,,
$300, this is all I have on me,
but,,,
What about that necklace?
Oh,
Who's this, babe?
This is my half-sister Heaven,
Just stopped in for a quick hi-and-bye,
Oh,,,
you mean the rich bitch who forgot all about you?
Aw, you remembered,
You are a gentleman,
I'll take that as my cue,
Heaven,
No, Heaven, wait!
Heaven, I need to ask you something,
What is it?
I'm sorry,
Please go get Darcie back for me,
What could I possibly do to get her back?
Well, buy her back, dammit,
Give 'em back the money they paid me,
You've got so much of it now,
Really, Heaven, it's the least you could do,
I can't,
I'm sorry, I can't,
Oh, can't you?
Not even for your own sister's happiness?
The sister who you used to claim to love and do anything for?
You can't even get my own damn baby back?
Hey!
Hey,
She needs her mom,
Heaven,
Please,
Get my little baby girl back,
"Tallahassee Larry's Circus?"
Excuse me, sir,
Do you know what the address is here?
No?
Oh, sir, do you know who Tom Casteel is,
or where he could be?
That's rude,
Um, do any of you know who Tom Casteel is, or,,,
What's a fancy-pants Boston gal want with him anyhow?
Oh! Tom!
It's so good to see you,
But why on Earth would you have me meet you here
at this random circus?
Because I thought it'd be easier for you to come to work,
You work here?
Yeah, No, Pa got me the gig,
He, uh, practically runs the place now,
He's in such a better place,
He's got this hilarious little baby
and this cool new wife, and,,,
People can change, Heav,
Have you heard from Jamie and Keith?
I wrote, but I never heard back,
Yeah, yeah, I-- They're livin' up in DC,
I know,
Yeah, they're doing well
with the couple that adopted them,
They seem to be really nice folks, I gotta say,
But, Tom,,,
I mean, how did Luke
ever get you to give up your dreams for his?
Well, I-I like it, Heaven,
Really! I do,
Come tonight, You'll see,
Step right up, folks,
one and all!
We've got somethin' for everyone in your clan,
Thrills! Chills!
Somethin' to help keep your mind off the bills,,,
waiting for you at home, if you know what I mean?
Hey, kiddos! You can check out Bessie,,,
the cow with two heads
and six legs!
And ladies,
check out Oleg,,,
the world's strongest man!
He's a bit of an anatomical wonder,
if you catch my drift,
And gentlemen,,,
seek out the Marvelous Moriarty,
who will chop off his own head with a guillotine,
and then perform a magic show!
Well, it does look better at night,
See? Don't be so quick to judge, Heaven Leigh,
Wanna go say hi?
- I should get going, -Can it be?
Heaven Leigh?
Well? Are we huggin'?
You look wonderful!
Huh?
No thanks to you,
Hey, Heaven, Here she is,
This here's my beautiful wife, Stacie,
and our little man, Drake,
Wow!
Heaven, it's so good to finally meet you,
I've heard so much about you from your daddy,
Would you like to hold your step-brother?
Hi,,,
Um, I guess I'm kinda your big sister,
Uh, if I knew I'd be meeting you,
I would've brought you a toy or something,
Big crowd tonight, eh, Pa?
Heaven was just sayin', uh, must be half the county,
Right, Right, yeah, Was just saying,
Congratulations,
Heaven,
Why don't you stay home for a while?
It'll be fun, just like old times,
Just like old times?
She's got a plane to catch,
Right, yes, I have a plane to catch,
So, uh, it was lovely meeting you,
and you,,, hope to hang out with you longer next time,
Bye,
Well, well, look at you!
The prodigal daughter returns,
Heaven Casteel! Glory be,
Fanny's great, thank you for asking, Reverend,
You remember her, don't you?
The 14-year-old girl who you raped and impregnated?
Such strong language from such a young lady,
Fanny would like to thank you and your wife
taking care of her child over this past year,
but she regrets her decision to give her child up,
so I have brought the 10,000 that you paid her,
Fanny was free with her sexual favors,
being hill-born and hill-bred,
and, uh,,,
wild,,,
,,,wild as a bitch in heat,
But if she gave up her baby and regrets it now,
then we're sorry,
but Fanny willingly fled from here,
so I do not see what it has to do with us at this point,
Well, I'm sure,
but I'll just go call the police,
I'm sure they'd love to hear all about
how their beloved Reverend
impregnated a 14-year-old girl,
You think
because you got fancy clothes on now
that you can come down here
and push me around
with your demands?
Whose word do you think the people of this town
will believe?
We'll have the baby tested,
I'll get her tested,
We Casteels aren't as dumb as you think,
I just can't wait
until your congregation hears about this,
There isn't a person in 100 miles who doesn't know
what Fanny Casteel is and will always be,
That wicked girl,,,
,,,stealing into my bed in the middle of the night,
with her naked body pressed up against me,
seducing me,
for I am only a man,
♪ Hush little baby don't you cry ♪
♪ Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby ♪
Heaven,,,
do you really wish to take that child away
from the only mother that she has ever known
to give her to a trainwreck?
Heaven?
My guess is that she found a way
to blame even you for her problems,
So you go in there
and you take that beautiful child
from my wife's arms,
and you do that confidently,
knowing that that will be the best thing for her,
Everything okay, dear?
Yes,
y,
Hi, Heaven, It's Logan,
My mom told me you're here,
Will you meet me in the lobby at 6:00?
My feelings for you, uh,
when we were together,
were so, uh,,, real and intense,
that I didn't fully process what happened to you,
That guy--
uh, Cal--
he took advantage of you,
He manipulated you,
And ever since that day, in Boston,
I've taken time to contemplate your side of the story,
I just wanted to apologize, face-to-face,
Well,,,
thank you,
Thank you so much,
I can't tell you how much that means to me,
I still can't believe we'll both be in college soon,
Yeah, well, uh,,,
this might push the college start date back a bit,
Wow, Uh, has that been there the whole time?
I'm very happy for you, Heaven Leigh,
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm just a little cold
and I have a headache
and I'm feeling just a little woozy,
I think I'd better go lie down,
Of course,
Goodbye, Logan,
I feel sick,
I love you, Heaven,
Will you let me try to make your every night perfect?
Troy,,,
Will you marry me, Heaven Van Voreen?
-Do you love me? -Yes, I'll marry you,
Heaven, marry me,
Come with me,
I love you, Do you love me?
Troy,,,
Heaven,,,
Heaven Van Voreen,,,
you're a dream come to life,
strong, true, kind, smart, and honest,
I love you,,,
Do you love me?
Heaven,,,
It's okay, I'll wait for you, Heaven Van Voreen,
Come with me,
Be with me, Heaven,
Stay with me,
Do you love me?
No! Troy!
I need to go home,
Need to go home,
-Logan? -Come on,
Logan, is that you?
Where am I?
Your car spun off the road,
I brought you to your family's cabin,
I'm really cold,
My whole body,,,
We need to get you into bed,
- Troy,,, - Heaven,,,
Troy, I'm coming,
Wait for me,
Why did you leave me, Heaven?
I had to go, Troy,
I thought you loved me, Heaven,
I do,
Come back,
Come back before it's too late,
It will never be too late,
Troy!
I love you,
Troy,,,
Troy,
Troy, tell me you love me,
Troy,,,
You need to lie back down, Heaven,
You need more rest,
I never stopped loving you,
I tried to stop, but I couldn't,
Now it's too late,
Losing you
was the biggest mistake of my life,
Oh,,, Oh, you're up,
Yeah,
How're you feeling?
Better, A lot better, thanks,
I have to get home,
And my rental car,
It's okay, Relax,
I'll drive you to the airport,
Or anywhere else you need to go,
Oh,
Thank you so much for everything,
I need to go,
Thank you,
Well, there she is,
How was your shopping trip?
Come, sit,
Tell me all about it,
Well, uh,,,
It was,,, It was fun,
You know, I,,, Time just flew by,
I thought I'd had my heart set on this Victorian gown
in the garment district,
and then I saw this beautiful strapless one,
so, got all confused, then the fittings took forever,
but it was fun,
Heaven,,,
I know you were with your backwoods family
and that Logan boy,
Uh, I-I have to speak to Troy,
Sit down!
You will answer my questions first,
And you know there is no point in lying,
as I will always know if you are,
How old are you, Heaven?
Uh, I already told you,
The truth!
How are you really?
18,
Why is that such a problem?
It just means that Troy and I are even closer in age,
You lied when you came here,
You told me you were born a year after
your mother married that man, Luke Casteel,
I'm sorry, I really am sorry that I lied,
I just-- I didn't want you thinking less of my mother,
having a shotgun wedding,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I,,,
You can't marry Troy,
What?
I mean,,, why?
I'm 18,
There's nothing stopping us from getting married,
Give me one good reason!
Why don't I give you two million reasons?
I'll pay you $2 million to call off the engagement
and let Troy down gently
so he doesn't do anything rash and harm himself,
I don't understand what you're trying to say,
While you were out of town,
Troy and I were talking about you,
about how much he loves you,
and he told me some things you had said to him
about your childhood,
which made me wonder
if you had told us the truth about when you were born,
I said I was sorry about that!
I am! I just said that so I could stay here with you!
You have to call this off, Heaven,
Do it for Troy,
Do it for me,
Do it for your mother,
What does my mother have to do with this?
You want to know the real reason
why I can't let you marry my brother?
The real reason your mother ran away from us?
The real reason your mother got married while pregnant?
The real reason Luke Casteel has hated you your whole life?
Because he's not your father,
I am,
I married Jillian
so that my younger brother would have a mother-figure,
But it turned out
Jillian didn't have any love for Troy,
or for me,
only for herself,,,
and her new money,
It was her daughter, Leigh,
or Angel, as you call her, who took to Troy,
She nurtured him, played with him, taught him,
I was thrilled,
But after a time,
I started to look at Leigh differently,
She,,,
She was becoming a woman,
I know this is hard for you to hear,
but,,,
your mother had more sexuality than any woman I've ever known,
young or old,
and she knew how to use it,
She would tease me,
touch me,
smile at me all day long,
And she asked me to touch her,
You,,,
Is that what you tell yourself?
That she seduced you, and it wasn't your fault?
She was a child!
A child!
And you, with your background and your education,
you acted like a scumbag hillbilly,
You molested her,
No, it wasn't like that,
She loved being touched by me,
She loved it,
I thought Leigh might have been pregnant
when she left,
I worried about it again when you arrived,
but then you lied about your age
and eventually I pushed those thoughts away,
But now that I know that you're 18,,,
everything is clear,
She was pregnant,
With you,
But, Heaven,,,
you cannot tell Troy
that he made love to his own niece,
his own blood relative,,,
He'll kill himself,
Heaven!
Oh, my God,
I almost forgot how beautiful you are,
I was worried you had gone to see Logan,
fallen in love with him, and forgotten all about me,
What is it, Heaven?
I need to tell you something,
Anything, you know that,
I love you,
I really do,
That's a relief,
Wow, You really had me going there,
I mean, that works well,
because I'm crazy about you,
and I was actually thinking about marrying you,
No, Troy,
What?
While I was away, I,,,
I realized
that we might not be right for each other after all,
Why would you say that?
Because I'm not sure who I am anymore,
and I don't know what I want,
Hey,
That's crazy,
We love each other,
No, Troy,,,
Heaven!
How did it go?
What did he say?
How could you?
How-- How could you ruin my relationship with Troy?
I'm sorry I ruined
your relationship with my brother,
but I'm ecstatic to have you as my daughter,
No, No, how can you say that right now?
You-- you raped my mother
and you're sick, this is all your fault,
No! It's your fault, you little bitch!
You threw yourself at him,
What?
And you didn't even think
what it would do to me,
He's my husband, Leigh,
You rubbed your pretty, little, nubile body all over him,
No! I'm not Leigh!
Shh!
I'm pretty, too,
I used to be pretty-- way prettier than you,
You don't think I could've screwed my stepdad?
I could've had him in the palm of my hand,
I could've screwed anybody that I wanted,
But I, I didn't do what you did, Leigh,
Just like Lolita,
Mm,
You little slut,
Whoa! Hold it, Jillian,
Let's, uh, get you a fresh drink, darling,
There we go,
Dear Tom,,,
My heart is broken,
Tony has forbidden me to ever see Troy again,
but I refuse to let Tony destroy
the best thing that's ever happened to me,
Here, there's only lies and deceit,
Once again, I have to look out for me,
I'm back,
You're back,
Look at me,
I can't, I just,,, I just can't,
Just--
Your love was like
this veil that I hid behind,
and it made me think I could be a normal man,
but guess what?
I'm not, and I never will be,
Shh, Just be with me,
Just be with me,
Jillian told me everything,
I'm your relative by blood,
By blood!
Your uncle!
I know you understand
this means that I have to leave,
I'll never forget you,
Troy,
Jillian told Troy about you and my mother,
and now I can't find him anywhere,
-Where could he be? -I don't know!
-Oh, my God, -Do you know where Troy is?
He's gone,
He's gone forever,
What? What do you mean?
I told him the truth
about Tony and Leigh's relations,,,
and he fell apart,
He couldn't take it
and he went to the sea,
Troy!
No,,, He's never without his watch,
Oh, God, Troy, what have you done?
No,,,
Troy!
No, no, No, no, no,
It's all my fault,
If it's anyone's fault, it's Tony's,
He raped my mother,
Shut your trap, young lady,
Leigh seduced him,
She gave him no choice,
-How could you say that? -You don't understand,
You have no idea what your mother was really like,
Poor Tony,
He chose me and then I brought
that temptress into his house,
Yep, This is all her fault,
This is all her fault!
Jillian,,, stop,
You both are horrible, demented people,
No wonder why my mother ran away from here,
Heaven,,,
Heaven?
You're my daughter, you're my only child,
Get your hands off me!
Get yourself together,
I'm finding somewhere else to live
before I start college in the fall,
That's a great idea, I'll pay all your expenses,
Oh! Yes,
Yes, let's throw money at the problem, shall we?
Because that solves everything,
I am so, so very sorry,
and I don't want it to just be words,
If you could ever find it in your heart
to forgive me and give me another chance,
there's nothing I want more
than a real father-daughter relationship with you,
I don't think that could ever happen, Tony,
The forgiveness or the relationship?
Neither,
Heaven, don't leave,
Dear Tom--
my life-long dream of college has come true in a big way,
I've earned a full-ride scholarship,
I did it,
I'm learning so much,
about people, about life, about myself,
The more of the world I'm lucky to explore,
the more I find myself drawn to the simplicity of my youth,
drawn back to Winnerow,
We didn't have much when we were kids,,,
but we had each other,
Tony,
Heaven,
I wanted to be here for this graduation,
Thank you for making the effort,
I'm proud of you, for what it's worth,
I'm proud of myself,
Oh, um,,,
Your graduation present,
First-class ticket to Paris,
one week, all expenses paid at the luxurious Chateau Chryon,
I don't want anything from you, Tony,
Oh,
Well,,,
maybe I could, uh,,,
start trying to be the kind of father you deserve?
Something more,,, normal,
Mm,
You'd agree that you reap what you sow, don't you, Tony?
I don't think you'll ever reap anything close to normal,
Ever,
Come back to Farthy with me,
You're all I have left, Heaven,
Troy's dead,
Jillian is worse than dead,
And why is that, Tony?
You reap what you sow,
I'm going back to Winnerow as a teacher this fall,
I have an opportunity now,
to heal the wounds between the hill folk and the townsfolk,
and I'm gonna try to sow as much good into the world as I can,
You're a good person, Heaven,
Far better than anyone I know,
I don't know about that,
But I'm trying,
Is it possible to leave your past behind?
Honestly, I don't know,
But what I do know
is when you focus so hard
on a past that you can't change,
you risk neglecting the future you still can,
So I'm going back home to Winnerow,
What could go wrong?
