The Immigrant Page #2

Synopsis: 1921. In search of a new start and the American dream, Ewa Cybulska and her sister Magda sail to New York from their native Poland. When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda is ill, and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while her sister is quarantined. Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with Magda, she quickly falls prey to Bruno, a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution. And then one day, Ewa encounters Bruno's cousin, the debonair magician Orlando. He sweeps Ewa off her feet and quickly becomes her only chance to escape the nightmare in which she finds herself.

pay for her care somehow.

I can get her off the island.

Whether she's cured or not.

I know people.

It will be difficult and

costly, but it can be done.

I gave them this address, of course.

So your sister will be able

to send you letters.

You could use a wash.

There is a bath house across

the street. It's easy to find.

Come, come doves!

Up, up, up!

Good morning, my Bruno!

Good morning! It's raining today.

Let's hope it rains money!

Okay!

- Come on, let's go!

- We have lots of money to make.

I'm sorry.

You're in a difficult situation.

I need to work.

I can take you to my place

of business. It's a theater.

We could always use a seamstress

down there.

- But you need a bath.

- Yes.

All right.

Belva!

Good morning.

What are you doing?

- What?

- Good morning, Bruno.

You have to hurry, we have

rehearsals at eleven. Let's move.

I'm going.

It's from Bruno.

Here.

Like this.

Here.

Eat it all.

Thank you.

Get a little meat on your bones,

for New York winter.

You come by yourself?

No, with my sister.

She's still on the island.

You could get her off with money.

Bruno helped me get my

brother out of there.

He can fly off the handle every now and

then. But he's a real good employer.

But it will take a lot of money

to get her out of there.

Or a lot of f***ing.

Of course, you could always wait

for some "White Knight" to come along.

Or your could steal.

As long as you don't mind being

beaten to death when they catch you.

Maybe you work with us

at Bandit's Roost.

Yes? Is Bruno's place.

You want a bath?

Is warm.

Okay. I help you.

Five... six... seven...

eight...

Bruno!

- I'm going in the back.

- Hi, girlies!

Welcome.

Glad to see you here.

You look lovely.

Anyway, this is it, and the bar.

Come, I like you to

meet the owner.

Rosie?

Yeah?

Hello. This is Ewa.

Come in.

She has just arrived.

She's looking for some employment.

Perhaps a seamstress.

Hi. She's real beauty.

She should be dancing,

not sewing.

Excuse us a minute.

Thank you.

Rosie, please leave her to me.

I have a feeling about her.

She could be special.

Okay. I want to talk with you.

Times are changing.

We got to compete with the

moving pictures.

If we want to keep serving

the liquor

we got to clean up the girls.

They can't show so much.

Can we talk about this later?

I'll see you at dinner?

Yes, of course.

See you at the Ox Tail.

Thank you.

Hey Bruno,

say something.

Ladies...

I know some of you have

said, "Hello."

But I'd like to formally introduce

and welcome our new friend, Ewa.

Escaped the Great War back in Europe.

You are a very brave girl.

And I am a very lucky man...

to be surrounded by my family,
