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.

00:09:33old flame

00:16:09edward
00:16:17This isn't helpful.
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.
00:17:13Coming!
00:17:28I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:37He arranged all of this.
00:17:39What does he take me for?
00:17:40It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:54I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:06Lady Wyndham.
00:18:08How lovely to find you here.
00:18:12And all on your own.
00:18:15Rupert.
00:18:16You know Lady Wyndham, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:48My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:48The 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.
00:19:06Can not return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:09Enjoy the party.
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.
00:19:52What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:54Mr. Bellman.
00:19:55I assume your fiancΓ© is inside.
00:19:57Ah, yes.
00:19:58I stepped out for some air.
00:20:00And seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:02You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:03Marriage suits you.
00:20:05Thank you, I 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.
00:20:16Deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband who...
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.
00:20:37I'm coming.
00:20:50Lady Wyndham.
00:20:52You are going the wrong way.
00:20:54Allow me to show you out.
00:20:56To be quiet.
00:20:57To be quiet.
00:21:02To be quiet.
00:21:02Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellyman.
00:21:05Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed
00:21:23I only wish to talk
00:21:24Then 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
00:21:46Lady Winded sought me out
00:21:48Elizabeth, how dare you try and scare my fiancΓ© at a gathering like this
00:21:52That is not...
00:21:53I mean no disrespect
00:21:53But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain
00:21:56Good lord
00:21:57Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancΓ©?
00:22:03I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable
00:22:06I shall inform Lord Edward at once
00:22:08He'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation
00:22:10Now, apologise to my fiancΓ©
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
00:22:38Lady 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
00:22:53Edward
00:23:02My apologies
00:23:03I seem to have arrived a moment too late
00:23:07Good lord
00:23:08Has Lord Weidman 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 dishonoured my wife hear me
00:23:23Before this night is over, you will regret it
00:23:25Yes, 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 you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter
00:23:36I have over fifty others just like you
00:23:44Grateful 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!
00:24:02You 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
00:24:26Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that
00:24:29We might begin
00:24:31With a kiss
00:24:34He's asking to kiss me
00:24:35On 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
00:25:00It'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
00:25:31Shortly then
00:25:47Of course
00:25:49Of all nights
00:25:50It would be this one
00:26:00Come in
00:26:04There's something I must tell you
00:26:05It concerns a
00:26:08Domestic matter
00:26:10I see
00:26:15Does he?
00:26:16Does he truly?
00:26:17Please God
00:26:18Let him understand
00:26:19Without making me say it outright
00:26:21Come
00:26:22Come
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
00:26:46Yes
00:26:46Very well
00:26:50Elizabeth
00:26:51Elizabeth
00:26:51What are you doing?
00:27:18Elisabeth.
00:27:30He's gone, of course he's gone.
00:27:33I failed him last night.
00:27:36Come in.
00:28:00Is 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.
00:28:13There's chocolate, if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:37You 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.
00:28:56Yes.
00:28:58I should like it that very much.
00:29:03I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfilment of our marital obligations.
00:29:10Uh, yes.
00:29:15Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:18I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:24Monday.
00:29:25Monday.
00:29:37Friday.
00:29:38Monday.
00:29:43Monday.
00:29:47Monday.
00:30:04Go on, if Vail will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:10Of course.
00:30:35Free!
00:30:41Free!
00:30:42Free!
00:30:44Free!
00:30:50That's Edward's mother
00:30:52She looks so young to find
00:30:57Lady Adelaine
00:30:59Forgive the intrusion
00:31:01I am
00:31:11Lady Wyndon
00:31:15I had wondered when we should meet
00:31:16I 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
00:31:44Is 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
00:32:14So 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
00:32:24Elizabeth, 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, 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
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
00:33:42So 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 agreeable
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 there 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?
00:35:33I
00:35:38I'll take that as a yes
00:35:42Let's begin
00:35:43Come on
00:35:44Come on
00:36:12diesem
00:36:26All right, you absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:31I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:32Elizabeth Winwyn, nΓ©e Fenwork.
00:36:35You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just
00:36:40discovered something rather surprising 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.
00:36:56Extraordinary so.
00:36:58How?
00:36:59He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:03Before 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, in the morning.
00:37:16He said come back to bed.
00:37:19As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:21Only meant to return.
00:37:23He held my hand.
00:37:27Lizzie.
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.
00:37:55Wedge 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 could I pass by?
00:38:27Same as ever.
00:38:29Still 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 Lennox.
00:38:42A Viscuit's son.
00:38:43The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:46Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:48My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:50Then he left for Italy.
00:38:53Is that...
00:38:54Edgar?
00:38:56I thought he was still in Italy.
00:38:58I don't know.
00:39:00I don't know.
00:39:00I don't know.
00:39:01I don't know.
00:39:01I don't know.
00:39:03I don't know.
00:39:03I don't know.
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.
00:39:11I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:13I hope you are well, Lady Wind...
00:39:15I am.
00:39:17Give my regards to Lord Windov.
00:39:28Six years without a word.
00:39:30And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:31He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:33Perhaps not.
00:39:34Lord Windare is worth ten of him.
00:39:35You know that, don't you?
00:39:39Come.
00:39:39The road is clear now.
00:39:47She was smiling at him.
00:39:48Did 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.
00:39:54That 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...
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.
00:40:20I 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 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, the Viscount's son, and the one who has been off painting
00:40:46in 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.
00:40:52I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:54Georgiana.
00:40:57Elizabeth is Lady Windham.
00:40:59She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:01Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time,
00:41:04such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:06You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar countrywoman.
00:41:11Go home, Georgiana.
00:41:16Edgar Lennox.
00:41:20My lady, his 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.
00:41:35Please 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, and 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.
00:42:31You 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.
00:42:42Yeah.
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.
00:44:15East Wing, old timber frames.
00:44:17It's three stories of curtains and correspondence.
00:44:21And 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 their charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:52Elizabeth!
00:45:06My 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 from the East Wing.
00:45:15A man.
00:45:17Elizabeth.
00:45:18She'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...
00:45:34What is that in your hand?
00:45:36Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:39I received a note.
00:45:40I believed it to be...
00:45:41You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:46Edward.
00:45:47You 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 is sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:45:58Edward!
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.
00:46:39How did you get some lucky?
00:46:40No matter.
00:46:41Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:43You have no one to rely on now.
00:46:44And as a Duchess, it shall be my god-begin right to rock all over you.
00:46:48My lady, his 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!
00:47:32He'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.
00:48:13I was wrong about you.
00:48:14I was wrong about you.
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.
00:48:30Elizabeth, whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:33You.
00:48:49Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:55Edward, that note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:48:58I know.
00:48:59As it happens, I also received a note, signed with Edgar's name.
00:49:03But I did not go to meet him.
00:49:05I'm glad to hear that.
00:49:08Cecilia.
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.
00:49:23There was a time when certain arrangements were considered by my mother, by Cecilia's family.
00:49:30I knew they were in favor of her.
00:49:32And 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 sun rise with me?
00:50:18Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:25May I?
00:50:27I'll see now.
00:50:38This...
00:50:38This is what home feels like.
00:50:51My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensville has called upon you.
00:50:55I informed her that you are not at leisure, but 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, nor at any Wyndham property in the county.
00:51:27That'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 when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:36Yes, I recall.
00:51:36I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a
00:51:42mere earl.
00:51:44Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:46You 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...
00:52:01Don'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, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:08cultivated my sister's trust, and forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:15I 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.
00:52:28She's not right for you, Edward.
00:52:30Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:31This afternoon, you will return to your home in London, and you will not come back.
00:52:37No, you can't treat me this way.
00:52:39I'm the Dowage Guchess of Ravensheil.
00:52:42Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham.
00:52:46I 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.
00:53:47I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:49I know.
00:53:50I'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,
00:54:21he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:25I 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.
00:55:07Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:20Edgar.
00:55:22He's gone.
00:55:24I know.
00:55:25The king offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:28If he 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.
00:55:45My lord.
00:55:52Elizabeth!
00:55:58Elizabeth.
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:19The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:22However, I've noticed that Lady Winford
00:56:24is 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, we are.
00:57:09This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
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.
00:57:46I need dates for the spoiledgoing.
00:57:48I keep going to the stairs.
00:57:49I'm sorry.
00:57:51I'm afraid I'm sorry.
00:57:55I've been here.
00:57:55Yes, sir.
00:57:57I'm afraid of my dear.
00:58:03Well, I think you've moved away.
00:58:14I don't know.
00:58:47Mother!
00:58:54Ah, Elizabeth.
00:58:57To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:01Come with me, Mother.
00:59:03Now.
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.
00:59:28You're pregnant.
00:59:30Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:36Mother.
00:59:38I 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 we sneak out when he's not looking.
00:59:51I don't know.
00:59:59I don't know.
01:00:02I don't know.
01:00:03I don't know.
01:00:06I don't know.
01:00:07I don't know.
01:00:11I don't know.
01:00:12I don't know.
01:00:37He's coming after us.
01:00:39I don't know.
01:00:43I don't know.
01:00:46Lord Wyndham, what an honour, though I must tell you this is a family matter.
01:00:52It is for me as well. Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:00:57She's my wife, Lord Wyndham. By law, she's required to...
01:01:00By law, yes. Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:14Come in.
01:01:20My lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:26These are private accounts, my lord. You have no right to...
01:01:28The 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, the 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 Shrewsborough.
01:01:46My 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,
01:02:04you will lose your house, your land, 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?
01:02:58He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:01Mother.
01:03:02Mother.
01:03:04Mother.
01:03:33How 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.
01:03:44Elizabeth, 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.
01:04:13I promise you'll write me.
01:04:17Every day.
01:04:19I promise you'll write me.
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.
01:05:02In 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.
01:05:29There 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.
01:05:53May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:55I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:05:58The carriage is prepared.
01:06:03Very well.
01:06:05Allow me five minutes to gather my pains.
01:06:17My lady.
01:06:18The 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!
01:07:06Elizabeth!
01:07:08Elizabeth!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:17Elizabeth!
01:07:32Edward!
01:07:34Edward!
01:07:34Take my hand!
01:07:44Edward.
01:07:46Yes? What is it?
01:07:47I think... I think the child is coming.
01:08:09My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:13Move.
01:08:17Come here.
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 Grednes?
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...
01:09:01Don'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.
01:09:20My 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.
01:10:02Jane.
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 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, there 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.
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?
01:10:54Yes, 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.
01:11:24Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:27But who shall it be?
01:11:28Cavendish?
01:11:29Ashmore?
01:11:29I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:32Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:36A husband.
01:11:38And 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, I hereby elevate Lord Edward
01:12:35Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
01:12:37to the rank of Marcus and Martians of Thornfield.
