00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, James marrying the Earl of Windhealth, our debts will be cleared, father's honor restored.
00:00:35It's Elizabeth! This was just found in the bride's dressing room!
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. Jay.
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?
00:01:15The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it. Indeed. If not for some old favour the
00:01:22Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:56Umm.

00:02:33that is not jane fenwick that's the younger sister the younger sister but she's the
00:02:38illegitimate one i should think good lord what an insult to the honor of the house of wyndham

00:04:15where is lord edward his lordship was called away to london on urgent business
00:04:19you may move to thornwood later today
00:04:26he didn't even hear my explanation he 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 for taking my sister's place
00:05:01she's up for mother me
00:05:10none of us attended but i've heard every detail
00:05:15they say the sister ran off and the younger one took her place
00:05:18showed up in riding clothes no less
00:05:20you do keep well informed dorothea
00:05:23tell me was she truly in riding clothes
00:05:25mrs milsom's daughter was sitting in the front rows
00:05:28she said when the cloak fell the entire church went silent for a full five seconds
00:05:32five seconds when was the last time you managed that
00:05:35i've never had the pleasure of causing such a spectacle
00:05:38poor earl
00:05:38poor i don't think so
00:05:40he doesn't do anything out of pity
00:05:42he has his reasons
00:05:43a piece of fenwick land and old debt something of that sort
00:05:46as for the girl
00:05:47i'd wager she's some wild little country girl

00:06:01a gardener or one of the maids

00:09:20this was just delivered for you

00:09:33old flame

00:15:40does he not want me
00:15:52he is
00:16:09Edward.
00:16:17This isn't helpful.
00:16:45Oh, that's a...
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.
00:18:17Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford. The 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 McEelmus Hall.
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 conventional.
00:18:44Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:50How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady, a message for you.
00:19:06Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:09Enjoy the party.
00:19:11No.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:17One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why 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 and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:02You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:03Marriage 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, as lovely as you, deserves 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, you 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 them?
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 from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:47Lady Wyndham sought me out.
00:21:48Elizabeth!
00:21:49How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this?
00:21:52That is not...
00:21:53I mean no disrespect.
00:21:54But I am a man of honour and 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've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:06I shall inform Lord Edward at once he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:11Now, apologize to my fiancé.
00:22:13At once.
00:22:15Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or 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?
00:22:53Edward.
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 a hundred-year-old young maize?
00:23:13For a wife of such low birth.
00:23:19Let every person here who has dishonored my wife hear me.
00:23:23Before this night is over, you will regret it.
00:23:26Yes, my lord!
00:23:27Edward!
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 you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter,
00:23:37I've over 50 others just like you.
00:23:44Greatable girl!
00:23:46What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:50You wretched boy!
00:23:52I paid off your gambling seats with the Earl's own money!
00:23:56How dare you make yourself a nuisance before him and his wife!
00:24:01You 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 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.
00:26:04There's something I must tell you.
00:26:05It concerns a domestic matter.
00:26:10I see.
00:26:14Does he?
00:26:16Does he truly?
00:26:17Please, God.
00:26:18Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:21Come.
00:26:33No.
00:26:34Not 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.
00:26:52Elizabeth.
00:26:53Yes, very well.
00:26:56No.
00:26:57No.
00:27:13No.
00:27:15No.
00:27:15No.
00:27:17Elizabeth.
00:27:19Elizabeth.
00:27:19No.
00:27:20No.
00:27:22No.
00:27:22No.
00:27:23No.
00:27:30He's gone.
00:27:31Of course he's gone.
00:27:33I failed him last night.
00:27:36Come in.
00:28:00Is there something wrong?
00:28:03No.
00:28:04No, nothing.
00:28:09I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:11Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm as chocolate if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:37You have.
00:28:47I 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.
00:28:58I should like it that very much.
00:29:03I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfilment of our marital obligations.
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:18Well, I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:31Yes.
00:29:43Yes.
00:29:47Yes.
00:29:48Yes.
00:30:04Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:10Of course.
00:30:35Free.
00:30:38Free.
00:30:40Free.
00:30:47Free.
00:30:51Free.
00:30:51That's Edward's mother, she looks so young to find.
00:30:58Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion, I am, Lady Wendon, I had wondered when we should
00:31:16meet.
00:31:17I am Cecilia.
00:31:19Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly, she asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:25That's her.
00:31:27Cecilia Marlowe, Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:31The woman Edward wants life to own.
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, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:46Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:49Was 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.
00:32:16After 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.
00:32:25Elizabeth, 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, most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:39No offence, Elizabeth, it simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:43Not everyone has it.
00:32:45Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try, it 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, you 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 made the afternoon quite agree of all.
00:34:09It's Friday.
00:34:10So it is.
00:34:12I 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 there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:25Twenty-three.
00:34:29I see.
00:34:44I...
00:34:44I...
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...
00:35:03The desk.
00:35:04I thought you might find it easier...
00:35:06To begin with.
00:35:08I did not realize how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:19Breathe.
00:35:23You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:32Are you ready?
00:35:34I...
00:35:38I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:41I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:42Let's begin.
00:36:25If you leave.
00:36:26All right.
00:36:27You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:31I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:32Elizabeth Wynwen, née Fenwick.
00:36:35You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:41surprising about the world.
00:36:43Was it? Was it Friday?
00:36:47You are incredible.
00:36:49I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he...
00:36:52He was... considerate. Extraordinary so.
00:36:58How?
00:36:59How? He made quite certain that I was comfortable before anything else. Several times, in fact.
00:37:09Good Lord.
00:37:10That is all I shall say on the subject. And afterward, in the morning?
00:37:16He said, come back to bed. As though I'd been there all along. Only meant to return. He held my
00:37:24hand.
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. Wedge 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 pass by?
00:38:27Same as ever. Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:31The road found me. I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:36Of course you were. You always were.
00:38:40Edgar Lennox. A Viscuit's son.
00:38:43The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall. Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:48My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean. Then he left for Italy.
00:38:53Is that Edgar? I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:06I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox. I 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 Windy.
00:39:15I am. Thank you.
00:39:17Give my regards to Lord Wyndove.
00:39:28Six years without a word. And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:31He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:33Perhaps not. Lord Wyndare is worth ten of him. You 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, out in the open road.
00:39:52She stepped away from him, Georgie. That much was plain enough.
00:39:55I shall tell Edward. I shall tell him exactly what I saw, and he will...
00:39:58Do 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, along the north road.
00:40:24I saw her, with a man.
00:40:26They were standing awfully close together, and he...
00:40:28Close together, you say?
00:40:29Why, yes, and he... he 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. He called her Lizzie.
00:40:39What was the man's name?
00:40:41Lennox. Edgar Lennox.
00:40:43I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son,
00:40:45the one who has been off painting in Italy for the past six years.
00:40:48Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:50You followed her?
00:40:51No. I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:54Georgiana.
00:40:57Elizabeth is Lady Windworm.
00:40:59She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:01Whom she encounters on the road, with 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,
00:41:31take 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.
00:42:51He 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?
00:43:12He leaves for Duttshire on Thursday.
00:43:16He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:27Edward chose her.
00:43:32Very well.
00:43:34Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:47She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:14East Wing
00:44:16Old Timber Frames
00:44:17It's three stories of curtains and 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!
00:45:06My lord, it began in the lower story
00:45:08Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:09We have not been able to find Lady Winder
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?
00:45:30Edward, I'm so sorry
00:45:32I did not wish to be the one that...
00:45:34What 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 adult
00:45:54She ought to be caged and paraded around the square
00:45:59Edward!
00:46:03Miss, don't!
00:46:04It's not safe in there
00:46:07My brother!
00:46:08Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:10Miss, I'm sorry
00:46:14He ran headfirst into that fire
00:46:17For 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 so 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
00:46:45It shall be my god-begin right to rock 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!
00:46:55My 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, go back
00:47:53Foolish woman
00:47:54Reckless man
00:48:04I thought I'd lost you
00:48:07You're safe
00:48:08You're safe
00:48:13I...
00:48:14I 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
00:48:29Oh, 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
00:48:57It 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
00:49:16Cecilia
00:49:19She is my mother's goddaughter
00:49:21She grew up around us
00:49:22There was a time when certain arrangements were considered
00:49:26By my mother
00:49:27By Cecilia's family
00:49:29I 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
00:50:52The Douchage Duchess of Ravensville 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
00:51:16Your 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, without 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've come to Shropshire
00:52:06Established yourself at Ravenscore
00:52:08Cultivate 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
00:52:20You 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
00:52:34And you will not come back
00:52:36No, you can't treat me this way
00:52:39I'm the Dowage Guchess of Ravenshile
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?
00:52:51I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sioshi
00:52:55Do you love her?
00:52:57Yes, I do
00:53:10Good
00:53:11Now 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
00:54:25By 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
00:54:42As a painter summoned by the king
00:54:44Yes
00:54:46I had heard rumours of such an arrangement
00:54:47The 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 Wyndham
00:55:15Edgar
00:55:22He's gone
00:55:24I know
00:55:25The king offered him a very generous commission
00:55:27He is a talented man
00:55:29It would have been a waste
00:55:31Edward
00:55:33Yes?
00:55:37I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
00:55:41I'll take that as a compliment
00:55:44Come

01:03:32How long will you be gone for?
01:03:34Four months, perhaps.
01:03:39I don't wish to go.
01:03:41I know.
01:03:42I know you don't.
01:03:45Elizabeth, I...
01:03:47It's Friday, you know.
01:03:55I'll be gentle.
01:03:57So will I.
01:03:59Don't be too gentle.
01:04:14Promise you'll write me.
01:04:17Every day.
01:04:35My lord, it is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a
01:04:42set of piano keys.
01:04:43Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:48Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:49We both eagerly await your return.
01:04:59A letter from London, my lady, in his lordship's own hand.
01:05:07Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:11I have read it four times, front 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, and 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, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:31Officers, I believe.
01:05:32They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:42Lady Winverde, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:46Your presence is urgently required in London, and 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.
01:05:58The carriage is prepared.
01:06:02Very well.
01:06:05Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:17My lady, the seal on this carriage.
01:06:20I need time to verify it.
01:06:25Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:40That sound.
01:06:41This isn't the road to London, it's the cliff road.
01:06:48Stop this carriage!
01:06:50Stop the carriage!
01:06:51Immediately!
01:06:52Immediately!
01:06:53Immediately!
01:06:57Immediately!
01:07:07Elizabeth!
01:07:11Elizabeth!
01:07:18Elizabeth!
01:07:22Elizabeth!
01:07:23Elizabeth!
01:07:23Elizabeth!
01:07:24Elizabeth!
01:07:25Elizabeth!
01:07:25Elizabeth!
01:07:26Elizabeth!
01:07:27Elizabeth!
01:07:28Elizabeth!
01:07:33Edward!
01:07:34Take my hand!
01:07:45Edward?
01:07:46Yes? What is it?
01:07:48I think... I 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.
01:08:40The carriage, the summons, who 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.
01:08:50The Dowager Grednas?
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.
01:09:00For allowing us in.
01:09:01Don'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.
01:09:21My lord.
01:09:22Lady Windery is well.
01:09:24You have a son.
01:09:36She is.
01:09:37Close your eyes.
01:09:41Why am I there?
01:09:52Her Royal Highness, the Princess Regent.
01:10:02Jane.
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 Northfield.
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.
01:10:46He pulled me out himself.
01:10:48Gave 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.
01:10:58And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:01Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:08Are you?
01:11:11More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:19the prince regent will present honors tonight did any of you receive warning of this none at all
01:11:24which means he wants it to be a surprise but who shall it be cavendish ashmore i heard it's not
