01:30The weather that day was reported to be cold and clear as a bell, but no better sanctum could be
01:37constructed for the life of a woman who would ring out against all who would silence her.
01:45God, it's beautiful.
01:53From humble origins, we might all hope for such purpose.
02:02Please, follow me.
02:13Young Gilda was only 10 when her father broke ground on this property.
02:18But even then, she saw this home as her destiny
02:23and made her mark.
02:33Let me see it.
02:37My mom always said that if she came into this room without stockings on,
02:40Grandma would whip her with a switch.
02:43Ouch.
02:44Look at this place.
02:45It'll never sell.
02:47It'll sell. It will.
02:51I know you don't like to look at it this way, but when it does, that's 10% for us.
02:55That'll go a long way.
02:56Maybe a month in New York.
02:57Okay, well, I'll get a raise. You'll get a call back.
03:00We'll be set.
03:01All the others were happy enough to live quiet lives,
03:05passing on nothing more than a sugar cookie recipe to the next generation.
03:10Young Gilda had grander aspirations.
03:15God.
03:16I remember her sitting for that one.
03:19Of course, she did it over Easter, so she had an excuse to ignore us all.
03:22My mom spent the whole weekend crying in the car.
03:28So you mentioned sugar cookies earlier. Is that included in the door?
03:32They are not.
03:32They are not.
03:33They are not.
03:37This door sucks.
03:52Here she is, the President of Mauritania, the diplomatic courier through the Khyber Pass,
04:00the wife of the President of the Red Cross,
04:04and His Royal Highness, the King of Switzerland,
04:08all passed through these doors and sat with Gilda
04:12and experienced her fine hospitality.
04:18Grandpa Harold.
04:20He had a heart attack when I was a baby.
04:23I've actually never seen this.
04:25I'd like to keep this.
04:28I'm sorry, that's part of the permanent collection.
04:32I'm sure it is, but the executor said I could pick two things,
04:35one for myself and one for my mom.
04:37I'll need to check the register at the end of the tour.
04:43Also, Switzerland has never had a king.
04:45That's the thing about Switzerland.
04:47She's right. There was a trivia question last week.
04:52See for yourself.
04:55Right, but I have no idea who that is.
04:57I mean, that's grandma, but how am I supposed to know who that is?
05:01That is the King of Switzerland.
05:13Hey, hey, hey, hey.
05:14Hey, it's not worth it.
05:16Okay.
05:17She just told a lot of stories, you know?
05:20Like how she met the King of Switzerland, or how she was a good mom.
05:26I thought you liked her.
05:28What?
05:29I don't know. I mean, you always had these fun stories about Grandma Gilda's house.
05:32I just assumed you liked her.
05:35Sure, I liked her. I mean, I was her favorite.
05:38But I haven't seen her in ten years.
05:40It's kind of like growing up with a vampire, you know?
05:44Eventually you look back and you think, man, she sure was covered in blood a lot.
05:49Are those fingernails?
05:51Oh my god.
05:53Ugh.
05:56Okay.
05:58Let's go.
05:59Mm.
06:01Mm.
06:35I wouldn't touch that if I were you.
06:39She kept it.
06:41She kept all the early work of her favorite young disciple.
06:47She wasn't a perfect person.
06:50But she loved you so.
06:54And saw herself in you.
06:57Like a mirror through time.
07:02I wish I had known her better at the end.
07:07I wonder what we would talk about.
07:10Things are so difficult with your mother, aren't they?
07:15She doesn't understand.
07:17Does she?
07:29I don't want to move out of New York.
07:33I just need a little time to figure things out.
07:40It's hard to leave the place you love.
07:43Your grandmother knew that better than most.
07:51Curious cat gets the cream.
08:02We really should go, okay?
08:03I still need to pick something up.
08:05No, no, no.
08:06You really don't.
08:07You don't.
08:08Come on.
08:10Nancy.
08:11Nancy.
08:12You're the one who said we needed a car with a big truck.
08:14Please.
08:15Hey.
08:16It's not safe here.
08:18We need to go right now.
08:19Jesus Christ.
08:20Sir.
08:21What can I answer?
08:22Sir.
08:24Sir.
08:25Sir, please.
08:27Sir, please.
08:30All of them left her alone here to die.
08:33Except for you.
08:35Except for you.
08:58Grandma.
09:04Nancy, we're going to leave right now, and we are never going to talk about this again.
09:08If you want to go, you can go.
09:10What?
09:11Pay your respects.
09:14Oh, God.
09:19Nancy!
09:20Nancy!
09:21No!
09:23Just let me out of here!
09:26Nancy.
09:46Just let me out of here!
