Ukubeka iPhepha likaGqirha kwi-Thackery (iCinemax)
Buphakathi ixesha layo lokuqala, I-Knick kubonakala ngathi kuyasekwa kancinci. Ngoku ukuba ibali le-arc yenkqubo kaGqirha Edwards 'galvanic, ebonelele ngezihlunu ezinxibelelanayo kwezi ziqendu zintathu zokugqibela, igqityiwe, umboniso uqhekeke waba luthotho lwamabali agqithileyo.
Ayisiyonto yokuba amabali agqithisileyo awanakulunga kumdlalo wokudibanisa, kodwa ubuncinci kufuneka sikhathalele abalinganiswa abohlukeneyo kunye neenjongo zabo ukuba basebenze-kwaye ngelishwa uninzi lwabantu aluthandeki ngokukodwa. Kunzima ukuvelisa umdla omkhulu kwiimbandezelo ze-asshat yobuhlanga ngelixa enencoko enomdla kunye ne-misogynist prick malunga nokuba kufume kangakanani kwiSixeko saseNew York.
Isibhedlele se-namesake esibonisa kwakhona sisiseko, kunjalo. Izibhedlele eziphumeleleyo bezilandela idolophu etyebileyo, kwaye iKnick, ishiye ezantsi edolophini phakathi kwabo bangenako ukuhlawula imali eninzi ngononophelo lwabo, abanakufane bafumane mali. Oku kuphambi kokuba izibhedlele zikarhulumente zisasazeke, ewe, kwaye ukuba iKnick inyukela phezulu-njengoko uninzi lwamalungu ebhodi yayo inyanzelisa oko kufuneka-amahlwempu azakushiyeka ngeendlela ezimbalwa.
Isiqendu sivula ngomzekelo ophazamisayo wenye yezi zinto unokukhetha kuzo: ugqirha weenwele. Ubonisa ukuba unxilile kwaye usasela, akahlambi nezandla zakhe phambi kokuvavanya isigulana, kwaye umisela ukuphumla ebhedini. Inxeba lembumbulu ethangeni. Ukuba le yenye indlela yezibhedlele, ayimangalisi into yokuba abantu abasebenza njengo-Colonel Robertson banyanzelise ukuba ukugcina iKnick edolophini yinkonzo yoluntu.
Umfo onomngxunya emlenzeni wakhe yi-henchman kunye nomkhwenyana womphathi wehlokondiba uBunky Collier. UCollier akafuni ukuthatha indoda yakhe ayise kuKnick, hleze uHerman Barrow, onetyala kwisiqingatha se-gajillion zeedola kunye nenzala yeenkonzo ze-hooker u-Barrow uyathandana naye, uyakwazi ukusebenzisa eli thuba ukuhlawula ityala lakhe. Kodwa bamshiya bengenazinketho, bayamngenisa, kwaye uGqirha Thackery uvuswa kubuthongo bakhe bokusebenzisa iziyobisi kwakusasa ukuze asebenze.
Ugqirha kuphela kwindawo yokuncedisa kuqhaqho nguGqirha Edwards, osandula ukuphuma emsebenzini kwikliniki yakhe yangasese eyimfihlo. Ubone nje isigulana esigama linguMnu Mendieta, icuba-roller eyiCuba enesithambisi esilinganiswa ne-grapefruit. Ekuqaleni uyathandabuza, uMendieta ufudumeza uEdward aze amnike ngecigar elungileyo. U-Edwards kunye nomkhosi wakhe wabongikazi-bahlamba iimpahla kamva balungisa iMendieta ngobuchule obutsha besebenzisa intambo yesilivere, ekufuneka uEdward abethe iwotshi yakhe ayithenge.
UThackery noEdward benza utyando kwixhoba lokudutyulwa, uCollier ehleli kwindawo yokubonela ngesandla sakhe esinqeni sompu wakhe ngalo lonke ixesha, ebasongela ngokubabulala ukuba umntu wakhe uphulukene nomlenze wakhe. Kukuchukumisa uhambe, kwaye u-Thackery woyika ukuba le ndoda inokuphuma igazi ngaphambi kokuba banqunyulwe. Kodwa ekugqibeleni, ngoncedo lweesheya ezibonakala zinentsingiselo, bayamfaka umntu phezulu. Uya kuphinda aphile ngokupheleleyo, kwaye u-Barrow ufumana i-bucks ezimbalwa kwi-tab yakhe.
Ngelishwa ukungapholi ngokupheleleyo sisigulana sesithathu sotyando sesi siqendu, imeko ye-placenta previa, kwa loo nto yaqhuba uGqirha Christianen wazibulala kumqhubi wenqwelomoya. I-Thackery, kunye no-Bertie oncedisayo ngeli xesha, ngaba utyando lukhawuleza ngokukhawuleza kunaye nawuphi na umntu owakha wanalo ngaphambili, kodwa bayasilela. Ngokucacileyo, isiphoso sikule ndlela, hayi ubuchule okanye isantya sogqirha.
Ngokucacileyo engekhoyo kutyando kokubini nguGqirha Gallinger, onentombi yakhe elusana iye yagula kakhulu kwinto abacinga ukuba yi-meningitis. Ukuba sisigulana sokugqibela sikaGallinger yayiyinto yokuluma i-rat-stomper ene-meningitis, mhlawumbi ekugqibeleni baya kuqala ukucinga ngokunxiba iiglavu xa benyanga abaguli? Ndiyazibamba ngalo lonke ixesha ndibabukele bengena kumanxeba avulekileyo ngezandla zabo.
Okwangoku, uBarrow ufumana eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokususa ityala lakhe kunokulinda amadoda angaphaya kwaCollier ukuba azidubule. Wenza isivumelwano nepolisa elibethiweyo kwiTenderloin-uyakumazisa eCollier njengombhobho wamantombazana kwiindawo zoonongogo zaseCollier. I-hookers ukubanjwa kwamapolisa ekubetheni kwakhe kunokuthintela ukuvalelwa kwaye ufumane uphahla ngaphezulu kweentloko. Kwaye bobabini baya kuthatha ukusika, kunjalo.
UCleary ubhalwe kumzamo wakhe wokuthatha imali yakhe yokuqhomfa kuDade Harriet, kuba unongendi uyala ukwenza isisu kumfazi waseTshayina. Ngokucacileyo kwikhowudi yakhe yokuziphatha, sisono ukuphelisa ukumitha ukuba umntwana uyakhaba. Ngokucacileyo ayenzi mali. Ufumana amathuba amaninzi okuba abe nobuhlanga ngokupheleleyo, nangona! Kwaye malunga nomnye umntu ngaphandle kwabantu abamnyama ngotshintsho.
Njengokuba uEdward ephumla ekhaya kwaye etshaya i-cigar ayinikwe nguMendieta, uphazanyiswa nguCornelia Robertson, eneendaba zokuba umama wakhe uyagula kakhulu. Ukhawuleza ukuya eRobertsons ukuze amphathe, kodwa ubethwa ngenqindi nguThackery, ogqiba ukuba iintlungu ezisezantsi azibangelwa yi-appendicitis, njengoko u-Edwards ekrokrela, kodwa yi-cyst kuphela.
Emva kokuphuma kwecyst ngokukhama umzimba wakhe uphela phambi kwamehlo onyana wakhe angakholelekiyo, uThackery uphumela ngaphandle ukuze ancokole noColonel Robertson malunga neCornelia. URobertson unokuba ngumninimzi owenza izinto ezintle kunye nomxhasi wenkqubela phambili yenzululwazi, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba akayena umdala omdala ophendulayo. Enebhongo njengokuba eyintombi yakhe ngokusebenza sonke isibhedlele, unyanzelisa ukuba kungekudala uza kuyeka obububhanxa buphukuphuku kwaye aqalise ukuphuma ngeentsana. Umtsalane.
Kodwa ke, uyavuma ukuthenga isibhedlele into ebiza kakhulu: umatshini weX-ray. I-Thackery inyanzelisa ukuba izokuguqula amayeza kwisithuba sonyaka. Kwaye kwisidlo sangokuhlwa, uBarrow uqinisekisa uRobertson ukuba aqokelele imali-ngoncedo oluvela kwimbangi kaRobertson uVanderbilt, oqhayisa ngelithi uvele wathenga ezibini ngokwakhe esibhedlele.
Kwaye xa bethetha ngokuqhekeka okutsha, uThackery kunye noMongikazi u-Elkins bayaqhubeka nokudlala ngothando njengoko bezama ukumfundisa ukukhwela ibhayisekile. I-lovestruck engafanelekanga uBertie uza kudana kakhulu xa ekugqibeleni aba babini beyeke konke oku kwangaphambili kweebhayisekile kunye nokujova iziyobisi ngqo kwiidick zabo kwaye bayokuzenzela.
Kwaye okokugqibela, uMhloli wezeMpilo u-Speight usaphikisana nezityebi zaseNew York ngokungena ngokungenalusini emakhayeni abo nokubothusa ngococeko lwabo ukuzama ukuphelisa oonobangela bokuqhambuka kwekhephu ephezulu. Esi siqwengana siyadika ngokumangalisayo, kodwa sikhokelele kolona tshintshiselwano lwesiqendu sonke:
UStight wenza udliwanondlebe noMiss Carhart, umphathi wendlu osisityebi, kwaye wanyanzelisa ukuba adibane nenkosi yendlu.
Nkosazana Carhart: UMnu Cook washiya ilizwi lokuba akazukuphazanyiswa.
Mhloli Speight: Ayizukuya kuye. Kuyo yonke imali yakhe akufuneki acinge ukuba ukhuselekile kwesi sifo. Ngaphandle kokuba unaye umkhonzi osula iesile lakhe.
U-Miss Carhart: Musa ukucinga okomzuzwana akwenzi njalo.
