American Horror Story

We've met before.

I don't think so.

I never forget a pretty face.

Your voice sounds so familiar,

I can almost place it.

Is that enough to start?

For five dollars, you can ask me anything.

I've had a few recent

misadventures with the fairer sex.

You're a heartbreaker.

That's not hard to see.

I've hurt someone badly.

And the person I always counted on for help...

can't help anymore.

And you're afraid this time you'll have to pay.

Avon calling.

Is the lady of the house available?

Do come in.

Mother would love to have some company.

Oh...

Oh...!

Now you're my puppet mother.

Let's play a game.

Mother, you be Dot.

Avon Lady, whose name I don't know,

you get to play the part of Bette!

You can rest easy.

The ball is clear as day.

Your indiscretion will soon be forgotten.

What about, uh,

trouble from my past?

Oh, there is someone.

A dark cloud on the horizon.

There will be rain, but... it'll pass.

And you'll go on just like before,

breaking hearts.

I can't tell you

what it means to hear those words.

You are my savior.

A hundred thank-you's, Esmeralda.

Please, come back for a reading any time.

You have true talent.

It would be a shame

to waste the powers inside of you.

Ima, I've never seen anybody like anything

more than you and a mouthful of food.

I want to see it again.

Oh, you're too good to me, Jimmy.

You find the twins yet?

I see you been doing a lot of looking.

I've been busy feeding Ima.

Eat up, baby.

If you want it long and hard,

I need you soft and wide.

Jesus, Jimmy, you are stinking drunk.

Jimmy!

Wait up...! What'd you do with the twins?

What'd you do with the twins?

Last I saw, they were with you.

But if you see Bette and Dot,

I'd be happy to take them back.

No questions asked.

I would never let them near you.

I know exactly who you are.

You were behind that mask.

You were the other clown.

Are you with this drunk?

Hey, come on, Jimmy.

Let's stand to one side, let this...

No! No!

You're a murderer.

There's nothing worse

than an alcoholic with bad hygiene.

Such a waste.

I'm gonna put you away if it's the last thing I do!

God, you're pathetic.

And if you hadn't stolen the twins from me,

I would leave you here in your filth.

But you took away my last chance at happiness.

And for that,

I must have revenge.

I'm your god, Jimmy.

And I've decided that you need to suffer.

I'm going to destroy you

and everything you love.

Oh...

it will be so much fun.

What do we do?

Oh, meine Liebchen!

Thank goodness we have found you.

But look at this.

Living like animals.

But how wise of Ethel

to have hidden you away.

Where is Ethel? What's going on?

There's a mob out there hunting freaks.

Yes. More than a mob, the entire town.

These Floridian rubes have finally turned against us.

No freak is safe.

Ethel was the first to go.

Ethel's dead?

They tore her head off.

Imagine what a crazy mob would do

with your two heads. How did you find us?

It wasn't difficult.

I have my connections.

Are you sure she left a note?

Yes! Why would

she make up such a thing?

She was about to plug me good.

Ah, here!

A motor hotel in West Palm Beach.

That's where she stashed the twins.

She instructs Jimmy to go find them.

We have to get you someplace safe.

Not back to the camp.

No, no, no, but we have a place in the plan.

I don't believe you. Why should I trust anything you say?

Because I have done what you asked.

The surgeon you wanted, the one who separated

the Brodie Twins...

he is on his way down here.

Your every wish is about to come true.

We already looked over here.

All we did was call out "Bette and Dot"

a couple of times.

Well, hello.

Who are you?

What do you want?

I came to see Miss Desiree.

The most beautiful woman

in the world.

Well, you come back at show time,

like everyone else.

Uh, but we have a rendezvous...

You better scram, pal.

Or you'll have a rendezvous with a black eye.

I'm a big girl, Maggie.

Go on.

Oh.

Mmm.

I'm sorry, but I could not stay away.

Mm-mm.

You better get ahold of yourself,

Angus T. Jefferson.

Who was that?

My beau.

And you say anything, you gonna be the one with the black eye.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Ain't that a sight?

Are you... serious?

Really?

Shit!

Goddamn it, I was so close to a nut!

Well, let's leave the pigs to their rutting.

Shall we?

Sure knows how to ruin a party.

Let her go, honey. You got me now.

He'll put it in anyone! He's drunk!

Leave her out of this!

She's nice.

And soft.

No, don't go, don't go!

Don't touch me, you asshole!

She begs me to touch her!

Look at these knockers!

And I swear, she tastes like a lemon lime lollipop.

Hey, you keep your hands off of him.

*** and I'll flatten you like a cracker!

You're nothing!

You could be a pillow! A donut!

A sock!

Jimmy...?

You did?

My goodness! What-what did it taste like?

I don't know-- like skin, but

softer and saltier, I think.

You are so liberal.

Well, all I know

is that someone got a new stove delivered

from Sears and Roebuck this afternoon.

Are you okay?

He's drunk.

He kept... missing.

I just paid him and left.

Who's next?

Goddamn starving.

You're disgusting.

I'm rolling over in my grave.

Ma?

I gave birth to you,

squatting by an oak tree.

Nearly killed me.

The worrying,

the sacrifices, and all for what?

I'm sorry, Ma.

Why'd you do that to yourself?

Why didn't you come to me for help?

I didn't have much time left anyway.

No one was gonna preserve Ethel Darling
