Deleted Scenes 1

down the linear action. Even though there was good reason to remove them, I can't help but still miss some of these detours because they sometimes provided historical detail as well as some additional motivation for the character's actions. This episode is recommended for those who have listened to the entire series already and still have it somewhat fresh in their minds. I'll present the scenes in chronological order and briefly described the context in which they originally appeared. Now.

I don't think any of this will radically change the dramatic effect of The Seventh Daughter, But for those super fans who enjoyed briefly inhabiting the world of Rose, Pearl and Corbeau, these return trips to steal city should be a welcome treat. I'm not yet yet today that is not McCauley, But I am giving you a gift that is almos as valuable as life itself. I'm following a demonstration of the wonder Child. I will reveal to you the sauce of Amirs and give once more life your

full vigor and energy. We're floored, Troyo as it did when you are? Are you to? Sixteen? Episode two, Lotus Blood focuses on Pearl's preparation for performing a street corner medicine show. I'll hang the torches, did you fill them with gasoline? Yes? I did. Unpack the jars and line them up across the front of the table, yes, ma'am, just like last time. And make sure the two headed calf and the tape worms are out front where people

can see them, yes, ma'am. And then hide out. Hide out behind the banner, and change into your dress while I drum up the crowd. I'll be back in two hours for the wagon. You need anything else? Did you did you chalk the wheels? Yeah? You said you're going to pay me a night for the rest, and I will just give us a chance to work in the longer version performs a second time after having been sugar

talked by the Pinkerton. Having grown overconfident in her skills and distracted by the predatory man, she quickly loses control of the performance. What do I odd between my arms now? It's difficult to see. It's impossible to see calm because it is invisible. It is priceless. Yet every man owns his share. He can save it, he can spend it, You can waste him. Just tell me bandor But he can never get more than God has allowed him to have. A rich man cannot buy it from the poor. The

poor cannot sell his share to another. Sometimes Pandora's vision surprised as even me. I was order in a pocket watch. But through the power of Lata's blood, she saw the true essence of what the mex hachannical time peace represent. Amazing? And what do I have in my hoard now, my dear? A flower? A caronation from a gentleman's lapel. Yeah, what's the concentrate, my dear, don't be distracted by the attention of all these admirers. Tell me again what I all did in my hand? Is it a walking stick? A

walking stick, but the silver cat. Apparently someone did not kick a lot as blood this afternoon. Let's have a fresh start. What do you have there? A newspaper? Yes, let me hold that now, Pandora. Allow the image to crystallize in your mind and tell me what I a limmians is? Pandora? Is it? It is a pin from the hat of the dark haired woman. I'm afraid, child. What do you strike a child that away? Don't touch poll? Could you allow that to happen? All you have to

do is sit there and say a dozen words? And where did you learn that awful dog one? I'm sorry when I tell you, hey, you are you still interested in this one? After that little performance? No saying hey, give me a hundred dollars and she's yours? What fifty? Take her off my hands? Give me fifty and you can have her. I'll throw in the dress. Please. Definitely not the woman I thought you were. And if you were, and you're not anymore, I see you're around China Rose.

This scene of the Medicine Show Gone Wrong never really worked as well as I hoped it would, so I was happy to remove it. But much to my chagrin, removing the second Medicine show necessitated the removal of another scene, one that I liked very much between Rose and Pearl in the apartment after the show. How are we supposed to eat if you make foolish mistakes like that? The alphabet code? You can't even comprehend that our supply of medicine is gone, we've barely enough left for doesn't work

harder we can. You're supposed to pay for the wagon, Massaria. Know how much those specimen jars cost, not to mention what goes in them. No, of course you don't, But you'll find out because you will replace them. You'll pay for the jars, and you will go to the slaughterhouse to get the freaks to put inside them. Not me, you, I will. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Fix my pipe, destroy us everything we worked for, and no chance of ever accomplishing anything. God damn it. Hall Pearl here, lie back

and let me hold the pipe for you. You'll feel better. I feel better. How am I supposed to feel better when I'm being robbed and beaten all over again, over and over again. M hmm. You can't win in this world, no matter how much you plan and how hard you work. They won't let you. It's okay. We'll find a way. I'll work hard, I'll try my best. We'll survive somehow. No, I'm sending you back where you belong, among the believers. You're sending me back m first thing in the morning.

M hmm. This is no place for the likes of you. I should have known. What about her act? You mean my act? I'll manage. Maybe I'll just hire a trained monkey. At least a monkey can hold its tongue. So you'll just find another girl, Yes, someone older, prettier, more mature, someone whose mind hasn't been sullied. I won't go. You can't make me, can't I No, you can't. I've wasted so much time on you already. I'm sorry, pearl. You're strong willed, but you're weak to the core. You're useless

to me. Don't say that allowing yourself to be distracted by a man ross. During the performance tonight, you said we were going to perform the word apostle. That's right, you were spelling a different word. M hm m hmm. What word did I say? You spelled a P O C. No, you're wrong. What were you spelling? Bloody paint? Goods, So at the end of that episode we find out that the disastrous performance may not have been entirely Pearl's fault,

but sabotage Rose's way of keeping Pearl in line. But Pearl knows that Rose sabotaged her, so the relationship thickens. Episode four, Asleep in the Deep is one of my favorites, and a pretty big piece of it was removed before the series was released. We began the episode after the passage of many months, with Rose and Pearl on stage at a variety theater store me the night and the waves roll high, its bravely the ship rod Hawk White, the light husbands, Sol cry prease all the salt bad.

They're on the dicky to the start, too hot, beating and hot. She why siddeds th most deed. But in the longer version we hear an entirely different origin story for Pandora. She had one origin story for the medicine show that she was raised in the Orient, but in the music Hall she has been transformed into a daughter of Royalty. The reason this was removed is because we dwell so long in the fictional origin story that we thought listeners may have gotten confused. About where we are

in the main frame of the narrative. If this were a film or a television series, the visual style of this fraudulent flashback would have helped orient the viewer, But on radio it was harder to bracket this as a false narrative within a larger fiction. Anyway, Kititon, it happened three years ago when Pandora was in her eighth year. Born to parents of wealth and means, she lacked nothing. I was a midwife at the time. I attended her mother during the birth, and it was I who brought

her into this world. From the moment she was born, the seventh child of her mother, all of them girls, it was obvious that this child was special. No child's future ever seemed to shine so bright. She was given the finest education, but somehow possessed knowledge that even her tutors had not yet attained. She had an uncanny ability to commune with animals, and loved nothing more than to wander the shadows of the forest or to pick among the stones of the village cemetery. There she seemed most

at peace. Born in Russia, her mother had been a mystic and had been a spiritual consultant to the most influential heads of Europe. Her father was an American diplomat and had accepted a post in London. But then three years ago the family, Pandora's mother and father, and her six older sisters all set sail together for Britain, but not Pandora. The child had fallen ill with pneumonia, was suffering disturbing visions, and the family doctor insisted she delay

her voyage. Her parents and sisters had no choice but to go on ahead, and so they left Pandora with me, with the plan that we would follow. Two weeks later, when Pandora was told of these arrangements, she became hysterical, inconsolable. She begged her parents not to go. It was more than a child's fear of separation from her parents. It was something much worse. Pandora saw their fate and warned

them of their impending doom. I heard the screams in the night when she witnessed nightly visions of her family's fate. It was I who marked the cold sweat from her body as she lay trembling in horror. Mommy day, please listen to me. If you go on his chiselthing, Terrible's going to happen to you. But what called an eight year old child possibly know such things. If you go on that voyage, you're all going to die was now be known. But we know that Pandora's premonitions of death

and suffering were accurate. We know that the mother, the father, the six older sisters all boarded the ship on May first, bound for London. We all know the name of the ship, the ship that was spotted by a German U boat ten miles off the coast of Ireland. We know that more than one thousand souls perished in the frigid depths of the Atlantic air. When they plunged into the water,

they were wrapped in one another's arms. My father was a strong swimmer and he tried to keep them afloat, but the sinking ship created a whirlpool that set them all down into the blackest steps of the sea. We know what happened to her family because Pandora witnessed it. All my sisters held hands from oldest to youngest like a daisy chain, all dressed in white pinafores. The youngest of the six, Rebecca, was the last, and as she

was pulled down down into the abyss. Her hand was outstretched, reaching up towards the surface, open empty, the hand that I would have held had I been there. Any breath, Heart are ross deep and kno deep. So we w and yes that is Minca Wilts performing her own vocals. I really hated to lose this next scene because it allowed the still invisible Corbo to start sinking his fingers

more deeply into our story. Having declined Houdini's offer of work, having declined Albert von shrank Natzing's request to perform a cabinet sitting, Rose and Pearl find that someone is interfering with their efforts to make a living. Even in pop. Rose say, pop who took us off the Plaquet's Jules finally giving us the bill and we to charge just a second, Rose, Juels needs to speak to you. Fine, have him come up to room dressing rooms locked Rose,

Just would you just just right here a minute? Were you? How do you expect the girl to get take a second? Here he comes, now, jus come into my office. Someone reported her act to the police. The police send someone out and they said it violates an ordinance against fortune telling. Nonsense, it's mentalism. Not Fortunately, all the same. She can't do her act on that stage. She can perform magic for the entire audience, but can't you know, single out audience members.

Typically she's not a magician. All right, listen, we'll figure out another act demonstrations of her her communing with the spirit. Right well, until you do, she cannot go on that school. We got served an injunction, Rose, So if she goes on, we get shut down. You know, we get taken to court, not you the theater. I've already talked to the owners, and we're just not willing to take that change. When did this happen this morning? It was Houdini? Probably jealous bastard.

Show me the injunction. There's no name on it except the judge that signed off on it and the clerk who delivered it. Here. You want to know more, you're gonna have to go down to city Hall. Rose. I'm sorry, but it's out of my hands. You can go up to your dressing room and you can clear out any of your belongings. Otherwise we'll put it in a trunk for you. Such a gentleman, Come on, Pandora, who would want to keep us from performing? The egotist Houdini can't

tolerate competition, even from a child. But I'm not so sure it was him. You've captured the attention of other would be suitors. Shrank, shrink, and whoever shrank is working for Corbo. Possibly, But even if this isn't Corbo, it will be soon. The current is catching you. You feel it tugging at your legs, starting to pull you downstream. You can struggle against the current if you want to

buy a little time, but you'll exhaust yourself. You could try to swim for shore, get out of the water and swear never to get back in, or or let the current carry you. Navigate to the waters and prepare for the whirlpool that's waiting downstream. I didn't think it would happen so quickly. Neither did I, but you exceeded my expectations. It's time that we stopped trying to find Corbo. He'll soon find us. It's time to begin thinking about what we're going to do once we reach him. We

me you no reason to be apprehensive. There are still things I have yet to teach you. Okay, time for one more, right, This one's really cool. You remember an episode five Paradise we met Trudy the chorus girl I Told you I Sing, who was invited by Baxter to have a private date with Corbo and he is looking for someone to provide him with inspiration. Oh like an artist model, where she is eventually schooled in the rules of sex magic and given a sound thrashing. But then

we get this, where are we going? Where are you taking me? Shut up and sit there? Did I hurt your ad? We need to go to the police or the hospital. I need to go to a hospital. I think if I need to take you to a hospital, I'll take you to a hospital. You don't need to go to a back my legs. Fifty dollars for tearing up my body like that, I won't be able to work for We trust me. You got off easy, come back, he says, come back, and we'll make it a hundred.

If that's when it gets fifty, I can't imagine. What do you do for a hundred? You don't know the half of it. A hundred. He wasn't serious. Do you think he was serious? Do you really think he'll pay me a hundred dollars if I go back another time? Oh,

he'll pay he'll pay I love the Baxter character. I wanted her to come off as that kind of Mannish woman whom you see in Hollywood and German films of the nineteen twenties and thirties, sort of a visual shorthand to suggest lesbian you know what I'm talking about, the woman who dresses in a man's suit with slicked back hair. But then I wanted to show that there's more to her than a stereotype, and that maybe she's not just

a procureur for Corbo. If given the opportunity to record a season two of The Seventh Daughter, you could be assured that we will hear more from Baxter. I hope you're enjoying drilling deeper into the world of The Seventh Daughter. Please come back for the remaining two bonus episodes. The Seventh Daughter is a production of iHeart Radio.
