00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth, our debts will be cleared, father's honor restored.
00:00:48Liz, please forgive me, I can't do this, I won't be traded off to some man, I'm so sorry it
00:00:53had to be you who found this, don't come looking for me, Jane.
00:00:58Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Windeck, the Fenwick family
00:01:03will be ruined completely?
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed, if not for some old favour the Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match
00:01:25ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:50Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:02:00Big time in the 1890s, I'm sorry, or is it?
00:02:02What's wrong?
00:02:02No, oh, no, no.
00:02:15Now?
00:02:21That one could be hard to confirm that an excuse and takie a new distinct story and a secret win
00:02:23streak turns out since they are a good주� bridal."
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenwick. That's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister? But she's...
00:02:38The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth? Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:57Regina, please. Not here.
00:03:00People will see you.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:05You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord. I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:19I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:38I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40It is my honour to present to you...
00:03:44My bride.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding,
00:04:00I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormut later today.
00:04:21Shh.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:32Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:35Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:01She's up to my other way now.

00:15:25but
00:15:26it is
00:15:27it is your right
00:15:28I am aware of what the law allows me
00:15:32but that isn't the measure I intend to follow
00:15:36good night Elizabeth
00:15:40does he not want me
00:15:52and
00:16:09Edward.
00:16:18This isn't helpful.
00:16:34I'm not going to die.
00:16:41I'm not going to die.
00:16:47I'm not going to die.
00:17:04God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:07I must be out of my mind.
00:17:09My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:37He arranged all of this. What does he take me for?
00:17:40It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:53I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:06Lady Wyndham, how lovely to find you here.
00:18:12And all on your own.
00:18:15Rupert, you know Lady Wyndham, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:22The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Vane.
00:18:28Mr. Bellamy.
00:18:29Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:31We're to be formally engaged at the Mikil Miss Ball.
00:18:34Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me.
00:18:37Though, I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:40Our union, of course, has been rather more...
00:18:43conventional.
00:18:44Years of acquaintance, shared society,
00:18:47a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:50How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady.
00:18:59A message for you.
00:19:06Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:09Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:17One cannot help but wonder,
00:19:19had you known,
00:19:21why bother to attend at all?
00:19:22Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:25I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:29Come, Rupert.
00:19:30It's been ages since I last danced.
00:19:33You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:51Lady Wyndham, what a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:54Mr. Bellman, I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:57Ah, yes.
00:19:58I stepped out for some air
00:19:59and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:02You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:04Marriage suits you.
00:20:05I believe I should return home.
00:20:06No need to hurry.
00:20:07It's a fine night.
00:20:08That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:10Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:11A woman as young as you,
00:20:13as lovely as you,
00:20:15deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband...
00:20:18That's enough!
00:20:20Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:21I mean it kindly...
00:20:33Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:36My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:50Lady Wyndham,
00:20:52you are going the wrong way.
00:20:54Allow me to show you out.
00:21:02Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy.
00:21:05Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And who exactly is meant to make me?
00:21:20There is no need to be alarmed.
00:21:23I only wish to talk.
00:21:25Then speak from where you stand.
00:21:29My dear.
00:21:34Stop!
00:21:38What do you think you're doing?
00:21:42Dorothea, you must forgive me.
00:21:43I was only trying to remove myself
00:21:45from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:47Lady Wyndham sought me out.
00:21:48Elizabeth!
00:21:49How dare you try and scare my fiancé
00:21:51at a gathering like this?
00:21:52That is not...
00:21:53I mean no disrespect,
00:21:54but I am a man of honour
00:21:55and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:57Good Lord!
00:21:58Did she really...
00:22:00try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:02I have long suspected
00:22:04she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:07I shall inform Lord Edward at once
00:22:08he'll have you turned out of Thornwood
00:22:09without hesitation.
00:22:11Now,
00:22:12apologise to my fiancé.
00:22:13At once.
00:22:14Miss Vane,
00:22:15you will address me correctly
00:22:17or you will not address me at all.
00:22:19You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:36My lord,
00:22:37thank God you're here.
00:22:39Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:41We were only trying to...
00:22:43When did he arrive?
00:22:44How much did he hear?
00:22:45Does he believe them?
00:22:47Are you hurt?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:53Edward?
00:23:02My apologies.
00:23:03I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:07Good Lord!
00:23:09Has Lord Weidemann really ruined
00:23:11a hundred-year-old young maize?
00:23:13For a wife of such low birth...
00:23:19Let every person here
00:23:20who has dishonoured my wife
00:23:21hear me.
00:23:23Before this night is over,
00:23:24you will regret it.
00:23:26Yes, my lord!
00:23:27Edward!
00:23:28What?
00:23:28My lord!
00:23:29I am your cousin!
00:23:31You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:33If you mean to say
00:23:35you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter,
00:23:37I've over fifty apples just like you.
00:23:55You have endured enough.
00:24:04Home awaits us.
00:24:08Edward, you must know.
00:24:10I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out.
00:24:12I...
00:24:12I know.
00:24:13I know precisely what kind of man he is.
00:24:15I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:17We have been married for a few days now.
00:24:20We have.
00:24:22And I find I know remarkably little about you.
00:24:25I believe goes both ways.
00:24:27Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that.
00:24:29We might begin with a kiss.
00:24:34He's asking him to kiss me.
00:24:36On horseback.
00:24:37Out in the open in the middle of the night.
00:24:39God knows how long I've waited for this moment.
00:24:42You have my permission.
00:24:59It's all right.
00:25:01He's settled now.
00:25:08We're home.
00:25:12My lord.
00:25:13My lady.
00:25:21I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth.
00:25:24Shortly?
00:25:25What does he mean, shortly?
00:25:26Tonight?
00:25:27I thought I had rather expected.
00:25:29I seem to have expected it more than I realised.
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:32Shortly, then.
00:25:47Of course.
00:25:49Of all nights, it would be this one.
00:26:00Come in.
00:26:01Come in.
00:26:04There's something I must tell you.
00:26:06It concerns a domestic matter.
00:26:10I see.
00:26:15Does he?
00:26:16Does he truly?
00:26:17Please, God.
00:26:18Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:22Come.
00:26:23Come.
00:26:26Come.
00:26:33No.
00:26:34No.
00:26:35Not like this.
00:26:37How are you feeling?
00:26:39Rather better, thank you.
00:26:41Forgive me.
00:26:42Elizabeth.
00:26:43Yes.
00:26:44Stop apologising.
00:26:45Yes, very well.
00:26:50Elizabeth.
00:27:06Elizabeth.
00:27:06Elizabeth.
00:27:06Yes, very well.
00:27:06Yes, very well.
00:27:18Elizabeth.
00:27:30He's gone. Of course he's gone. I failed him last night.
00:27:36Come in.
00:28:00There's something wrong.
00:28:03No. No, nothing.
00:28:09I wasn't certain of your preference this morning. Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm. There's chocolate.
00:28:14If you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:38You have.
00:28:42This hand is still warm.
00:28:48I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:52My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:57Yes. I should like it that very much.
00:29:03I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfillment of our marital obligations.
00:29:14Yes. Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:18I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:24Let's go.
00:29:25I'll be right back.
00:29:28No, no, no.
00:29:30Let's go.
00:29:44Let's go.
00:29:51We need to go.
00:29:53Let's go.
00:29:54Let's go.
00:30:04Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long
00:30:10Of course
00:30:35Flea
00:30:50That's Edward's mother
00:30:53She looks so young to find
00:30:58Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion, I am
00:31:11Lady Wyndon
00:31:15I had wondered when we should meet
00:31:17I am Cecilia
00:31:19Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly
00:31:22She asked me to receive you in her place
00:31:24That's her
00:31:27Cecilia Marlowe
00:31:28Lady Adelaine's goddaughter
00:31:31The woman Edward wants life
00:31:35Your grace, the pleasure is mine
00:31:38Please, none of that
00:31:39We're practically family now
00:31:40Adelaine will be back shortly
00:31:42In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister
00:31:45Is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:46Lady Adelaide summoned me
00:31:47Yet she's here
00:31:48Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:57She carries herself as if she owns the place
00:32:13So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy
00:32:17After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered
00:32:22I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked
00:32:24Elizabeth, this is Georgiana, we call her Georgie
00:32:27Georgie, this is Elizabeth
00:32:28Ah, the new Lady Wyndham
00:32:30And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:32I read, I write
00:32:33I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie
00:32:37Of course she does
00:32:37Most people do when they can't shoot
00:32:39No offence, Elizabeth
00:32:40It simply requires a certain constitution
00:32:43Not everyone has it
00:32:45Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try
00:32:47It is only fair to offer
00:32:48Oh, by all means
00:32:49Bring another gun
00:32:53A gun for beginners
00:32:57You know your way around guns?
00:32:59Elizabeth, you needn't oblige
00:33:02Georgie is only teasing
00:33:03You can watch if you prefer
00:33:16Well
00:33:19You had three
00:33:20I shall not be greedy
00:33:34Mother
00:33:35Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:37She found me
00:33:39I like her
00:33:43So do I
00:33:49Come in
00:33:55My mother asked me to convey her apologies
00:33:59She had no intention of neglecting you today
00:34:01I understand
00:34:03Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow
00:34:04Made the afternoon quite agree
00:34:09It's Friday
00:34:10So it is
00:34:11I must admit
00:34:14I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin
00:34:16Nor am I
00:34:22I should warn you
00:34:23There are rather a great many hooks
00:34:24Twenty-three
00:34:29I see
00:34:44I confess I don't quite know
00:34:47What
00:34:48I meant to do with my
00:34:50Elizabeth
00:34:52You are not supposed to do anything
00:35:02The desk
00:35:03I thought you might find it easier
00:35:06To begin with
00:35:08I did not realize how warm his hands would feel
00:35:20Breathe
00:35:21Breathe
00:35:23You are going to suffocate yourself
00:35:32Are you ready?
00:35:33Aye
00:35:38I'll take that as a yes
00:35:41Let's begin
00:35:43Let's begin
00:36:08Let's begin
00:36:26All right
00:36:26You absolutely must tell me everything
00:36:31I've no idea what you mean
00:36:32Elizabeth Winwen
00:36:33Knave Fenwork
00:36:35You arrived at my door this morning
00:36:37Wearing the very expression of a woman
00:36:39Who has just discovered something rather surprising about the world
00:36:43Was it?
00:36:44Was it Friday?
00:36:47You are incredible
00:36:49I am your oldest friend and I deserve details
00:36:51Was he?
00:36:52He was
00:36:54Considerate
00:36:56Extraordinary so
00:36:58How?
00:36:59How?
00:36:59He made quite certain that I was comfortable
00:37:04Before anything else
00:37:06Several times in fact
00:37:09Good lord
00:37:10That is all I shall say on the subject
00:37:11And afterward
00:37:12In the morning
00:37:16He said come back to bed
00:37:19As though I'd been there all along
00:37:22Only meant to return
00:37:24He held my hand
00:37:28Lizzie
00:37:30Don't
00:37:31You like him
00:37:34I am beginning to think I might
00:37:42We're stuck in the mud
00:37:53We'll need to push from the left
00:37:54Wedge something under the wheel first
00:37:57There's a plank in the ditch
00:37:59Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by
00:38:13Lizzie
00:38:14How can I possibly
00:38:27Same as ever
00:38:28Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road
00:38:31The road found me
00:38:33I was perfectly innocent
00:38:36Of course you were
00:38:37You always were
00:38:40Edgar Lemmonds
00:38:41A viscant son
00:38:43The summer I was fourteen
00:38:44He taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall
00:38:46Charcoal everywhere
00:38:47My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean
00:38:50Then he left for Italy
00:38:53Is that
00:38:55Edgar?
00:38:56I thought he was still in Italy
00:39:06I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox
00:39:08I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it
00:39:10Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage
00:39:14I hope you are well, Lady Wind
00:39:15I am
00:39:16Thank you
00:39:17Give my regards to Lord Wyndham
00:39:28Six years without a word
00:39:29And now he returns at just this moment
00:39:31He didn't know, Harriet
00:39:33Perhaps not
00:39:34Lord Wyndham is worth ten of him
00:39:35You know that, don't you?
00:39:39Come, the road is clear now
00:39:47She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:49A married woman smiling at a man like that
00:39:51Out in the open road
00:39:52She stepped away from him, Georgie
00:39:53That much was plain enough
00:39:55I shall tell Edward
00:39:56I shall tell him exactly what I saw
00:39:58And he will do as you think best, my dear
00:40:01You know your brother better than I do
00:40:15Edward, there's something I must tell you
00:40:17It concerns your wife
00:40:18Good morning to you too, Georgina
00:40:21I was riding this morning
00:40:22Along the north road
00:40:23I saw her
00:40:24With a man
00:40:25They were standing awfully close together
00:40:27And he
00:40:28Close together, you say?
00:40:29Why, yes, and he
00:40:30He took hold of her sleeve
00:40:33And then?
00:40:34She drew back in the end
00:40:36But she knew him well, Edward
00:40:37He called her Lizzie
00:40:39What was the man's name?
00:40:41Lennox
00:40:41Edgar Lennox
00:40:42I've heard of this Edgar Lennox
00:40:44The Viscount's son
00:40:45The one who has been off painting in Italy
00:40:47For the past six years
00:40:48Then you must also know
00:40:49That he and Elizabeth were once
00:40:50You followed her?
00:40:51No
00:40:52I just happened to be passing by
00:40:54Georgiana
00:40:57Elizabeth is Lady Windworm
00:40:59She is the mistress of this house
00:41:00Whom she encounters on the road
00:41:02With whom she speaks
00:41:03With whom she spends her time
00:41:04Such matters are of importance to her and her alone
00:41:07You should have married a true lady
00:41:08Not some vulgar country woman
00:41:11Go home, Georgina
00:41:16Edgar Lennox
00:41:20My lady
00:41:22His lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon
00:41:26Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:28He said he'd like to, and I quote precisely, take you out for a ride
00:41:32He mentioned the North Meadow
00:41:36Please convey to his lordship that I shall be ready in twenty minutes
00:41:39Of course, my lady
00:41:47Georgiana paid me a visit this morning
00:41:50I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather
00:41:53You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning
00:42:02I did
00:42:03Our carriage came to grief in the mud
00:42:05He assisted with freeing the wheel
00:42:09Georgiana is young
00:42:10And her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment
00:42:13I thought you should know that I sent her right away
00:42:16He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me
00:42:19It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away
00:42:23He's telling me he stands on my side
00:42:28Thank you, Edward
00:42:29For what?
00:42:30We're married, you need not thank me
00:42:34Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy
00:42:36He may want to consider spending six more
00:42:39The further he remains from my wife, the better
00:42:49I cannot believe this
00:42:50He sent me away
00:42:55Tell me what happened
00:43:01He accused me of following her
00:43:03He is a loyal man, always has been
00:43:05And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person
00:43:09Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:13He leaves for Dutcher on Thursday
00:43:16He will surely be thinking of his new bride
00:43:19Each moment he's away from her
00:43:27Edward chose her
00:43:32Very well
00:43:33Then let him see the true nature of this choice
00:43:47She still harbors feelings for me
00:44:15East Wing, old timber frames
00:44:17It's three stories of curtains
00:44:19And correspondence
00:44:20And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve
00:44:24And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear
00:44:34Lady Winfield and her lover
00:44:37Once Edward lays eyes on her charred bodies
00:44:39He will surely return to me
00:44:51Elizabeth!
00:44:53Elizabeth!
00:45:05My lord!
00:45:07It began in the lower story
00:45:08Where's Lady Wyndham?
00:45:09We have not been able to find Lady Wyndham
00:45:11But we brought someone out
00:45:13From the East Wing
00:45:14A man
00:45:18Elizabeth, she's still inside
00:45:24And just how are you so sure Lady Wyndham is in there?
00:45:27What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:31Edward, I'm so sorry
00:45:32I did not wish to be the one
00:45:33What is that in your hand?
00:45:36Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting
00:45:38I received a note
00:45:40I believed it to be
00:45:41You believed it to be from my wife
00:45:46Edward, you must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man
00:45:50Elizabeth is still inside
00:45:52Of course she's inside
00:45:53That wicked adulteress
00:45:54She ought to be caged and paraded around the square
00:45:59Edward!
00:46:03Edward, it's not safe in there
00:46:07My brother, Henry, you must save my brother
00:46:10Miss, I'm sorry
00:46:14He ran headfirst into that fire
00:46:16For her
00:46:26Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:28Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:29And you
00:46:30What are you doing here?
00:46:32You're not stuck in the fire?
00:46:34Why on earth would I venture to the East Wing in the middle of the night?
00:46:37You wretched creature
00:46:38How did you get some lucky?
00:46:40No matter
00:46:41Edward just ran to his death
00:46:42You have no one to rely on now
00:46:44And as a Duchess
00:46:45Shall we my God begin right to walk all over you?
00:46:48My lady
00:46:48His Lordship has gone into the fire
00:46:51You what?
00:46:52Why?
00:46:53Elizabeth!
00:46:55Elizabeth!
00:46:56My brother is still in there
00:46:57What do we do?
00:46:58He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside
00:47:00Oh dear, how did this happen?
00:47:02Let go, Georgiana
00:47:03No!
00:47:11She didn't write that note
00:47:14She can't have written that note
00:47:22It was you
00:47:25Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:28No
00:47:29I had nothing to do with that letter
00:47:31He's slanding me
00:47:35Edward!
00:47:40Elizabeth
00:47:40Go back
00:47:53Foolish woman
00:47:54Reckless man
00:48:04I thought I'd lost you
00:48:06You're safe
00:48:13I
00:48:14I
00:48:15I was wrong about that
00:48:22Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband
00:48:25Why did you do it?
00:48:26You went in there for me
00:48:28I couldn't leave you to die
00:48:30Oh, Elizabeth
00:48:31Whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:33You
00:48:49Get in before the water goes cold
00:48:54Edward
00:48:55That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me
00:48:58I know
00:48:59As it happens, I also received a note
00:49:01Signed with Edgar's name
00:49:02But I did not go to meet him
00:49:04I'm glad to hear that
00:49:08That's all?
00:49:11It was Cecilia
00:49:13She did all of this
00:49:17Cecilia
00:49:19She is my mother's goddaughter
00:49:21She grew up around us
00:49:22There was a time when certain
00:49:25Arrangements were considered
00:49:26By my mother
00:49:27By Cecilia's family
00:49:30I knew they were in favor of him
00:49:31And were you?
00:49:33I've never made any promises to Cecilia
00:49:35If she had hopes, they were not hopes I invited or confirmed
00:49:39As for me
00:49:42I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you
00:49:48Edgar Lenniston and I, we grew up together as well
00:49:52He taught me to make charcoal drawings
00:49:55That is the whole of it, Edward
00:49:56There's nothing more
00:49:57Well then
00:49:59Now there are no secrets between us
00:50:02Now there are no secrets between us
00:50:06It's Friday today
00:50:08Yes, indeed it is
00:50:09There are about two hours left until dawn
00:50:12Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me
00:50:18Yes, I'd like that
00:50:25May I?
00:50:27Yes, you may
00:50:37This
00:50:39This is what home feels like
00:50:51My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensborough has called upon you
00:50:54I informed her that you are not at leisure
00:50:56But she still has not taken her leave
00:51:00Show her in, Henry
00:51:08Thank you for seeing me, Edward
00:51:09Say what you have come to say, Cecilia
00:51:13You know very well why I am here
00:51:15Georgiana won't see me
00:51:17Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters
00:51:20And you've issued a formal notice
00:51:22I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth
00:51:24Nor at any Wyndham property in the county
00:51:26That's correct
00:51:28Edward, please
00:51:30We've known each other since we were little
00:51:31You carried me home on your back
00:51:33When I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest
00:51:35Yes, I recall
00:51:36I also recall that during that same autumn
00:51:39You told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a mere Earl
00:51:44Such was my obligation, Edward
00:51:45You know my family's circumstances
00:51:47You know I had no choice
00:51:49And you, you waited too, Edward
00:51:52All these years
00:51:54A Thornfield without a mistress
00:51:56Without a bride-to-be
00:51:57Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you
00:52:00That's not
00:52:00Don't say that, Edward
00:52:02You know that's not what I
00:52:03You've been a widow for eight months
00:52:04And in those eight months you have come to Shropshire
00:52:06Established yourself at Ravensgore
00:52:08Cultivated my sister's trust
00:52:10And forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation
00:52:14I did what I believed
00:52:16I wasn't finished, Vasilia
00:52:18You also set fire to the east wing of my home
00:52:21You should be grateful that my wife was not there last night
00:52:24Otherwise you would not be standing in my study but rather in my dungeon
00:52:27She's not right for you, Edward
00:52:29Whatever you feel now, it will pass
00:52:31This afternoon you will return to your home in London
00:52:35And you will not come back
00:52:37No, you can't treat me this way
00:52:39I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravensheil
00:52:42Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham
00:52:45I am also the Prince Regent's companion
00:52:49Do you wish what you have done to become known through all of London?
00:52:52I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sioshi
00:52:55Do you love her?
00:52:57Yes
00:52:57Yes, I do
00:53:10Good
00:53:12Now it's time to deal with the next one
00:53:23She came back for him
00:53:26And now it's all gone up in flames
00:53:44May I come in?
00:53:46Please
00:53:46I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you
00:53:49I know
00:53:49I'm sorry
00:53:51I owe you an apology, Elizabeth
00:53:53Several, in fact
00:53:54I forgive you
00:53:56So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:53:59Of course
00:54:04Georgiana
00:54:06I know you love your brother
00:54:09And I do too
00:54:19In all the years I've known him
00:54:22He's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you
00:54:24I know
00:54:26By the way
00:54:28You shoot better than I do
00:54:30You're not a bad shot yourself
00:54:40I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the king
00:54:44Yes
00:54:46I had heard rumours of such an arrangement
00:54:48The night of the fire
00:54:50I saw him run into the flames to look for you
00:54:53Without hesitation
00:54:55That was the moment I knew had lost you
00:54:58May London be everything you deserve, Edgar
00:55:00I hope you paint something magnificent
00:55:02Give my regards to Lord Wyndolin
00:55:20Edgar
00:55:22He's gone
00:55:24I know
00:55:25The king offered him a very generous commission
00:55:28He is a talented man
00:55:29It would have been a waste
00:55:31Edward
00:55:33Yes?
00:55:38I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
00:55:41I'll take that as a compliment
00:55:44Come
00:55:45My lord
00:55:52Elizabeth!
00:56:19The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord
00:56:22However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of fatigue
00:56:32Pardon me?
00:56:34Congratulations, my lord
00:56:37Yes
00:56:39Thank you, Dr. Holt
00:56:59So, we're going to have a child
00:57:05Yes
00:57:07Yes
00:57:08Yes, we are
00:57:08This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth
00:57:12Thank you
00:57:15I'm sure you will want to tell your mother
00:57:21I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday
00:57:23Vale will accompany you
00:57:26And take a warm blanket
00:57:27The mornings are cold now
00:57:29I know I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:32But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward
00:57:35I know I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:35I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:44I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:49I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:54I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:55I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:55I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:55I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:55I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:56I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:56I needn't thank the man I married
00:58:14I don't know.
00:59:01I don't know.
00:59:06This is my house.
00:59:08She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:13Are you challenging the Countess of Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:25I'm pregnant.
00:59:27You're pregnant.
00:59:30Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:38Mother, I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:42You'll come chasing after us.
00:59:44You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:48Then he'll sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:06Margaret!
01:00:10Keep moving.
01:00:12Don't look back.
01:00:17Elizabeth!
01:00:22It's Edward!
01:00:37He's coming after us!
01:00:40Let him come.
01:00:46Lord Wyndham, what an honour.
01:00:49Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:52It is for me as well.
01:00:54Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:00:57She's my wife, Lord Wyndham.
01:00:59By law, she's required to...
01:01:01By law, yes.
01:01:04Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:14Come in.
01:01:21My lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:26These are private accounts, my lord. You have no right to...
01:01:29The Fenwood Estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:33Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:36To me.
01:01:37The roof you sleep under, the fields you work on, the horses in your stable.
01:01:41The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrowsborough.
01:01:45My lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:51I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:55Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:00If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement, you will lose your house, your
01:02:06land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:14My wife sends her regards.
01:02:28He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:31Oh, lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:34No.
01:02:36Edward will handle everything.
01:02:39I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:41As did I.
01:02:44Elizabeth.
01:02:46Is he...
01:02:47Is he a good man, your lord?
01:02:59He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:12Now let me tell you
01:03:33How long will you be gone for?
01:03:34Four months, perhaps.
01:03:40I don't wish to go.
01:03:41I know.
01:03:42I know.
01:03:43I know you don't.
01:03:44Elizabeth, I...
01:03:46It's Friday, you know.
01:03:55I'll be gentle.
01:03:57So will I.
01:03:59Don't be too gentle.
01:04:14I promise you'll write me.
01:04:16I promise you'll write me.
01:04:18Every day.
01:04:35My lord,
01:04:36it is the 14th of March
01:04:38and your child has spent this morning
01:04:40using my ribs as a set of piano keys.
01:04:43Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy
01:04:45and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:48Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:50We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:00A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:02In his lordship's own hand.
01:05:07Elizabeth,
01:05:08your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:11I have read it four times,
01:05:13front to back.
01:05:15Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:17I find I have a great deal to tell our child
01:05:20and even more to tell you.
01:05:22Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:25Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:28My lady,
01:05:30there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:31Officers, I believe.
01:05:32They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:42Lady Winverde,
01:05:43we are here to deliver a summons
01:05:44from His Royal Highness,
01:05:45the Prince Regent.
01:05:46Your presence is urgently required in London
01:05:49and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:54May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:55I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:05:59The carriage is prepared.
01:06:03Very well.
01:06:05Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:17My lady,
01:06:18the seal on this carriage.
01:06:20I need time to verify it.
01:06:25Lady Wyndham,
01:06:26I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:40That sound.
01:06:42This isn't the road to London,
01:06:43it's the cliff road.
01:06:48Stop this carriage!
01:06:50Stop the carriage!
01:06:51Immediately!
01:07:07Elizabeth!
01:07:08Elizabeth!
01:07:33Edward!
01:07:34Take my hand!
01:07:35Take my hand!
01:07:37Take my hand!
01:07:37Take my hand!
01:07:45Edward!
01:07:46Yes?
01:07:47What is it?
01:07:48I think...
01:07:49I think the child is coming.
01:08:09My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:13Move.
01:08:36Your first child?
01:08:37Yes.
01:08:38I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons.
01:08:41Who was it?
01:08:42A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:45She forged the seal.
01:08:46She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:49The Dowager Gredness.
01:08:51Yes, your highness.
01:08:52I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:55She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:08:57Thank you, your highness.
01:08:59And for this, for allowing us in.
01:09:02Don't thank me for that.
01:09:02Thank my wife.
01:09:04She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:07She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:12That's one way to put it.
01:09:20My lord, Lady Windry is well.
01:09:24You have a son.
01:09:36He has your eyes.
01:09:41Why am I there?
01:09:52Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:03Jane.
01:10:17How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:24It all started with a marsh.
01:10:26I beg your pardon?
01:10:27On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:30Cut across the north field.
01:10:32I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:35Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:38And then?
01:10:39There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:42Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:47He pulled me out himself, gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:50He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:53And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:55Yes, then I told him my name.
01:10:57And he told me his.
01:10:59And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:02Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:08Are you?
01:11:11More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:19The prince regent will present honours tonight.
01:11:22Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:24None at all.
01:11:25Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:27But who shall it be?
01:11:28Cavendish?
01:11:29Ashmore?
01:11:30I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:32Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:36A husband and a wife.
01:11:40Good heavens!
01:11:41A joint honour!
01:11:43And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:46Are you nervous?
01:11:48I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:50Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:11:59And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:03Well, things are different now.
01:12:04This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:08Shall we?
01:12:15Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:17How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:20You look magnificent.
01:12:23I know.
01:12:24And I feel magnificent.
01:12:28With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:33I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
01:12:37to the rank of Marcus and Martianse of Thornfield.
