Random Question about 'Angels in America'


I just watched the entire miniseries on youtube, but Episode 5 cut off in the middle of Belize's (Jeffrey Wright) speech about heaven to Roy Cohn (Al Pacino). Can someone familiar with the series tell me if anything else happens in that episode or if that was the end of it?


Thanks.

Yes, you missed about three minutes at the end the fifth part. I think it was cut because it starts with Joe Pitt having loveless sex with his wife Harper. At the end she asks why he keeps his eyes closed, and he does not reply. She says she knows anyway, that he is imagining he is with a man. he agrees. Then he dresses and leaves the bedroom. She comes out and exposes herself by dropping a sheet and asks him to look at her and tell her what he sees. As told in another thread Mary Louise Parker appears totally nude in the scene. He says, "Nothing, I see nothing." She thanks him for finally telling the truth and he leaves the apartment. That is the end of the episode.

Oh Lord, you gave them eyes but they cannot see...

The start of the scene you see him trusting with a resounding thump on the headboard each time, but you do not know who he is with. Then the camera trucks to show it is his own wife. I think the intent was to make you wonder at first who he was with and of which gender.
