00:00:19A march down the aisle may very well be the longest walk any young lady ever takes.
00:00:26It does not simply cover the length of the church, but rather countless floors for dancing and meandering paths for
00:00:37every afternoon promenade, too.
00:00:41It is a wonder, then, that feet do not tire or, heaven forbid, trip under the scrutiny of all those
00:00:50attentive eyes keeping close watch indeed.
00:01:00Does it fly?
00:01:02Some, your majesty.
00:01:03What kind of archer is some?
00:01:04Well, it does not soar, but if you like I can place it on a high perch and allow it
00:01:09to glide down.
00:01:10Only if you follow its path.
00:01:18The fireworks are ready, your majesty, timed perfectly to discharge directly after the bride and groom utter I do.
00:01:23Whatever you have planned is not good enough, Brimsley. Make them bigger, longer, brighter. Our guests must be captivated.
00:01:35I believe I asked for his majesty's wing to be closed off today. I do not wish for anyone to
00:01:41lose their way and end up somewhere curious.
00:01:46Of course, ma'am. Though you may rest assured his majesty appeared in rather good spirits this morning.
00:01:53And what of our other grand plan? Is everything in place?
00:01:57Indeed. Every young lady that remains under suspicion of being Lady Whistledown will have a footman assigned her today, watching
00:02:02her every move.
00:02:03Simply watching will not be enough. We must entrap the scribbler.
00:02:06Perhaps you might put forth false rumors so that when Whistledown prints them, we will be able to trace the
00:02:14origins.
00:02:15An ingenious idea, ma'am.
00:02:16Yes, that is why I thought of it. The author thinks she has bested us all with her illicit spying
00:02:22and reporting.
00:02:24Well, no one has sharper eyes on the tom than I do.
00:02:54You must calm yourself, Vaughn. Keep still.
00:02:57It is also strange. I have faced a thousand tomorrows, but they have all been leading to this one.
00:03:02Tomorrow is a day you have been preparing for your entire life, dearest. You are ready.
00:03:07I believe that to be true. But now that the Viscount has hastened things...
00:03:12Oh, it has caused you doubts.
00:03:14Bringing the wedding forward is a sign of true feeling, but...
00:03:18Well, it has unnerved me, too.
00:03:20Oh, rest assured the Viscount adores you. He has devotedly courted you and made his intentions clear from our first
00:03:27arrival.
00:03:29Ooh.
00:03:32It is meant to be a sipping spirit.
00:03:33Have you not heard? The Viscount believes in hurrying things along these days.
00:03:37First the wedding, now his drink.
00:03:38I just hope for Edwina's sake the tendency stops before the honeymoon.
00:03:42Have you always been so vulgar?
00:03:43Or is staring at naked models all day turned your brain to charcoal?
00:03:47Well, must he choose just one?
00:03:49I suppose that has always been the privilege of not being the firstborn.
00:03:51You both get to choose your passions and adventures.
00:03:56While I, on the other hand, must fulfil my duty...
00:03:58Tell me, dear brother, once you marry, will your duty finally be fulfilled so you can stop reminding everyone of
00:04:03it?
00:04:04I believe the reminders are also my duty, so no.
00:04:07Yet I still wish that when he looks at me, I could be certain that he truly loves me.
00:04:12I fear in fact that he does not look at me often enough.
00:04:18Looks can be powerful, Bon, but also fleeting.
00:04:22Displays of mere passion, perhaps. Nothing more.
00:04:25So the Viscount feels little passion for me.
00:04:28Of course not. What I mean to say is that true love is something else entirely.
00:04:33It is when the rest of the world goes quiet, it is not eyes that meet, but souls that dance.
00:04:41Settle in to each other.
00:04:43Make room for each other.
00:04:46Until there is nowhere else to hide.
00:04:48No need to worry.
00:04:50Much will remain the same.
00:04:52Apart from the fact that I shall finally have my Viscountess as is required.
00:04:56Indeed.
00:04:57Not much shall change at all, though soon enough, we will have a tiny Anthony to contend with.
00:05:01Running around, declaring all of his tiny duties too, no doubt.
00:05:04Yes, he too shall be a tyrant.
00:05:06Is it not also sad?
00:05:08When spread on an unmarried person, Haldi will help them find a worthy partner that makes the rest of the
00:05:14world quiet too.
00:05:15Edwina.
00:05:16Now, now, it is your turn to hold still.
00:05:25It's a toast.
00:05:27What is it we are drinking to, if not the future?
00:05:29To, well...
00:05:31The sister.
00:05:33The sister.
00:05:34The gatekeeper.
00:05:36I do wonder whether this blessing would be greater if the Viscount were here to participate as well.
00:05:40Well, I am certain Lord Bridgerton has his own wedding traditions to perform.
00:05:44To besting her.
00:05:45Hear, hear. You do love gloating about your victories, do you not, brother?
00:05:50Hear, hear, hear.
00:05:55You loveibo.
00:06:09My word prudes in stand-up-straight.
00:06:11Chin up.
00:06:12Chest out.
00:06:14how ever am I meant to stand like this all day you're fidgeting Lord Featherington has so
00:06:22graciously allowed you to borrow this beautiful necklace the occasion it is very heavy that means
00:06:29it's very valuable remember that you're certain about this the young lady quite naturally draws
00:06:36attention to herself she will get people speaking of the very valuable jewelry that came directly
00:06:40from your minds I will of course confirm that you're rather quiet about how well your business
00:06:45is doing out of modesty and when the husbands come to you you agree to the arrangements your
00:06:50confidence is honorable I concede would you prefer I cower oh I did not say that I cannot help but
00:06:57enjoy a lady who seizes control pardon me madam yes well I shall meet you in the carriage prudence
00:07:21mademoiselle Penelope I have made the alterations you requested oh thank you madame Delacroix
00:07:27it's a great risk for me to meet you here your mama will certainly know you do not have address
00:07:32in
00:07:32need of repair this could not wait any longer what do you know of that apprentice who works for our
00:07:37printer and mr. Theo sharp I believe well if you know his name you know much more than I do
00:07:42have
00:07:42any of our delivery boys mentioned him is there something more serious you wish to tell me about
00:07:48our little undertaking because if there's trouble on the horizon I cannot be associated my business is
00:07:55too important as is mine and no there's nothing to worry about I assure you madame Delacroix was not
00:08:02expecting you if this is about our bill oh no madame I was just saying I seem to have lost
00:08:09my head
00:08:09this delivery is for the Bridgertons you see I came here by mistake good day
00:08:19can you imagine a woman reduced to running her own business I wonder her mind is so scattered
00:08:25make haste we can't be late
00:08:40didi what are those I brought them with us from home I knew this season would be a success
00:08:47they are quite beautiful how have I never seen them before they belong to my mother
00:08:53Amma wore them on her wedding day and saved them for you I brought them for you I insist beautiful
00:09:00bangles for a beautiful bride I know this has been a difficult time and you never much cared for

00:09:22he's taken my ribbon I've done you a service do not chase each other or well perhaps do not catch
00:09:28each other you must look presentable why does no one truly seem ready for this wedding
00:09:34mrs. Wilson oh mother please not so loud whatever you have done to your brother undo it

00:09:46there can be no after effects if only you would use your powers for good has anyone seen Anthony
00:09:53Benedict see that he is well I'm sure the emotions of the day have somewhat confused him
00:09:58mother
00:10:02Anthony you are ready of course I am born ready in fact
00:10:07shall we
00:10:07mother
00:10:08I am

00:10:26oh
00:10:30my
00:10:31oh
00:10:33oh
00:10:36I've
00:10:44Lady Danbury.
00:10:47Lady Bridgerton.
00:10:49It seems the two of us have not spoken since our dinner with the Sheffields.
00:10:53Yes, it seems so.
00:10:55Though, why would we?
00:10:57It is not as if you have even more private information you wish at last to share with me, do
00:11:02you?
00:11:03You must know.
00:11:04Enjoy the wedding, Lady Danbury.
00:11:10It is a wonder I have found the two of you limits all this opulence, is it not?
00:11:14Quiet. Her Majesty's fondness for the diamond exceeds even what Lady Whistledown suggests.
00:11:19Daphne's wedding was not nearly as extraordinary, and she married a duke.
00:11:22Perhaps the Queen requires our attention in new ways.
00:11:24The weight of the crown is quite heavy.
00:11:26Perhaps she seeks to prove herself still significant and equal to task.
00:11:29Is that not the plight of all mankind?
00:11:31I believe it is.
00:11:32Do not indulge him. He's been insufferable ever since returning from Greece.
00:11:35Was it your visit with Lady Crane?
00:11:37A cause does not matter nearly as much as the truth.
00:11:40One must make a name for oneself if this life is to mean anything at all.
00:11:43A noble pursuit.
00:11:44Thank you, Pen.
00:11:46It is surprising that you and Eloise remain so familiar when you cannot be less alike.
00:11:50What can you mean?
00:11:51Well, you have sense.
00:11:56It is a fool's errand to try to make an impression on those in good society who have not a
00:12:00single original thought.
00:12:01And what good is it anyway to make a name for oneself if it is only to be written on
00:12:04dance cards?
00:12:05Well, what of Lady Whistledown?
00:12:06She speaks on everyone without remorse.
00:12:08No.
00:12:08No, she does not speak at all.
00:12:10Perhaps she simply does not know that there are some beyond the ton worthy of attention to.
00:12:14Are you speaking with Mr. Sharp again, Elle?
00:12:16I have hated your warnings.
00:12:19Theoretically.
00:12:21It would be foolish of me to continue to visit him.
00:12:23And what in actuality?
00:12:27I visited him just the other day.
00:12:28But it's not nearly as scandalous as you make it out to be.
00:12:31It is only his thoughts I am interested in.
00:12:32It is a friendship, then.
00:12:34Of course.
00:12:36What else could it be?
00:12:51Sister, you were late.
00:12:52Well, in truth, I was delayed by doubts about whether the festivities of this day might or might not take
00:12:58place.
00:12:59Does the Duchess not care for your bride, brother?
00:13:01I find Miss Edwinia to be quite lovely and deserving of the truth, which we must not deny her.
00:13:09I'm confused.
00:13:10Who's denying what to whom?
00:13:11Benedict, you must excuse us.
00:13:12It seems the Duchess has opinions.
00:13:15But I wish to know.
00:13:15The best man listens to the groom.
00:13:16Go.
00:13:35I have gone too far down this road to turn back now, Daph.
00:13:38Miss Edwina will be ruined if we do not marry.
00:13:41And our family will suffer equal scandal.
00:13:45This was always the plan.
00:13:47And what of the sister?
00:13:50She has made her own plans for the future.
00:13:53Plans which do not include me.
00:13:55We have decided there is nothing more between us.
00:13:58There cannot be.
00:14:11Do you ever wonder what father might say on a day such as this?
00:14:17He was the only one you ever truly respected.
00:14:20The only one you ever listened to.
00:14:26If Papa was still there...
00:14:28You cannot possibly know what he would say if father had different words for me than he did for you.
00:14:31So please do not insult me with your baseless conjecture.
00:14:36I have been here.
00:14:38And I have seen you at all stages.
00:14:41I witnessed you change the day he died.
00:14:44Do you know you did not even week once?
00:14:46And you stopped laughing.
00:14:48Altogether, in fact.
00:14:49It was as though he would become an entirely different person.
00:14:53Consumed by the expectations of others.
00:14:56And what choice did I have?
00:14:58I changed so that our family might survive.
00:15:01So that you could be respectable enough to marry a duke.
00:15:04I am happy for you, sister.
00:15:05But I am not like you.
00:15:06I have never wished to succumb to the blind delight of being in love.
00:15:10I cannot so indulge myself.
00:15:12You can choose to be happy.
00:15:15To follow the desires of your heart instead of pushing away any feeling that comes to the surface.
00:15:23It should not be a luxury but a right to choose to fight for the family that you want.
00:15:28I fight for the family that I have.
00:15:32And you will never understand because you were born to marry into another family while I was born to carry
00:15:36on the Bridgerton name.
00:15:37That is what outweighs anything else.
00:15:39It is rather easy to be selfish when you have no one else to whom you must answer.
00:15:50I mourn for you, brother.
00:15:53All of these decisions that you seem to make and then resent us for.
00:15:57If they do not make you worthy of your family's respect, they simply make us pity you.
00:16:03Nothing more.
00:16:25Oh, my word.
00:16:31You look so beautiful, my darling.
00:16:34Hmm.
00:16:50Didi?
00:16:51Yes, ma'am.
00:16:53I cannot wear them.
00:16:55They do not belong to me and I do not want to feel as though I am taking what is
00:16:58rightfully yours.
00:17:00They were meant for you.
00:17:02You should be the one to wear them.
00:17:11They suit you, Kate.
00:17:17It is time, my lady.
00:17:20Come.
00:17:21Let us put all of the nasty gossip behind us for once and for all.
00:17:25Let us give the ton a wedding to remember and show them who we truly are.
00:17:38Let us give it back to you.
00:17:40Let us go.
00:20:02Thank you, my lord. I am happy you are pleased.
00:20:05Please be seated.
00:20:08Dearly beloved,
00:20:11we are gathered together here in the sight of God
00:20:14and in the face of this congregation
00:20:17to join together this man
00:20:19and this woman
00:20:21in holy matrimony.
00:20:23And therefore is not by any to be enterprised, nor taken in hand unadvisedly, lightly and wantonly
00:20:31to satisfy men's carnal lusts and appetites like brute beasts that have no understanding,
00:20:38but reverently discreetly, discreetly, admiring, and overtly.
00:21:08My lord.
00:21:11My lord.
00:21:33The archbishop would like you to repeat, my lord, after him?
00:21:37Yes, of course.
00:21:41I, lord Anthony Bridgerton.
00:21:52I, lord, I, lord.
00:21:56I, lord.
00:22:03I, lord.
00:22:07I, lord.
00:22:12I, lord.
00:22:13Continue.
00:22:13My apologies.
00:22:14My apologies.
00:22:17My apologies.
00:22:18I can repeat all the way.
00:22:26I say we need you.
00:22:27Wait a moment.
00:22:51What has happened to my wedding?
00:22:53The bride seems to run away, ma'am.
00:23:09Breathe, Edwina.
00:23:10It is just nerves.
00:23:12We will call for tea, and once you have something in your stomach, you will be strong enough
00:23:15to go back out there.
00:23:16The Viscount, the Viscount will understand.
00:23:18Yes, Kate?
00:23:19Kate, perhaps you might find that tea-
00:23:21It is not tea that I want!
00:23:25What I want is the truth.
00:23:28Oh!
00:23:29Suddenly your words fail, you sister.
00:23:31Edwina.
00:23:31Kate, I am not sure what is going on.
00:23:33I should tell you what is going on, mama.
00:23:35After a lifetime of filling my head with nonsense of all this talk of great gallant notions and
00:23:39looks between us.
00:23:41Edwina.
00:23:41It is for him.
00:23:43All this time you wanted him for yourself.
00:23:45No, that is not.
00:23:46Oh, you cannot deny it now, Kate.
00:23:49How could I have been such a fool?
00:23:52Unite me again and again.
00:23:55You told me.
00:23:57You told me we had been all secrets to rest with no.
00:24:01The Sheffield inheritance, that was merely the beginning of your deception.
00:24:06I pulled myself into believing you had only the purest of intentions.
00:24:10That your only desire was for me to be happy.
00:24:14And you are no one's fool.
00:24:16That is the truth.
00:24:19Do you love him?
00:24:20What?
00:24:21Felix.
00:24:22Felix was strong.
00:24:26Do you love him?
00:24:33Edwina, I...
00:24:37That is enough.
00:24:39No good can come from this at present.
00:24:42Let us all take a moment to calm ourselves, shall we?
00:24:46You have kept so very much from me.
00:24:50Go.
00:24:51Anywhere else, Kate.
00:25:04Go.
00:25:39Does this have anything to do with our dinner with the Sheffields the other evening?
00:25:43Or perhaps some even greater issue has come to pass that we must discuss, Anthony.
00:25:47Miss Edwina is merely agitated. She will come to her senses.
00:25:49Miss Edwina does seem to have a delicate constitution.
00:25:52Perhaps some fresh air will be just the thing.
00:25:54Perhaps the Archbishop's talk of lifelong covenants overwhelmed her.
00:25:58Perhaps Miss Edwina realised that marriage is in fact a prison for women.
00:26:01Must you always be so... you?
00:26:03How else should I be? Married and silent.
00:26:06Perhaps she decided she must change into a different dress.
00:26:08That is absurd. She looked beautiful.
00:26:10Perhaps we should allow Anthony a little respite.
00:26:14Brother, is that what you need?
00:26:23Precisely.
00:26:29What?
00:26:30You know something.
00:26:31I do not.
00:26:32Daphne, you may be a Duchess, but you are still my daughter.
00:26:34Tell me what you know.
00:26:44A failed wedding with their Queen presiding.
00:26:48As if I needed the embarrassment.
00:26:50It is not your fault, Your Majesty.
00:26:52Lady Whistledown will make it so.
00:26:55Her Majesty has picked poorly, she will say.
00:26:58My once immaculate taste now questioned.
00:27:01Her words carry far too much import for my delicate comfort.
00:27:06Your Majesty, with all due respect, we may very well find ourselves in a situation that cannot be salvaged.
00:27:13It would be wise...
00:27:14Well, it must be salvaged.
00:27:17You vouched for this family, did you not, Lady Dambury?
00:27:20I never would have entertained the thought of making Miss Edwina my diamond, let alone arranging this elaborate affair if
00:27:27it was not for you.
00:27:29This is as much your blunder as anyone else's.
00:27:32You must not forget that.
00:27:34Indeed, I will not.
00:27:40Perhaps I may go and find Miss Edwina.
00:27:44Perhaps there is something I can do.
00:27:50Brimsley, escort the guests to the gardens and do not allow anyone to leave.
00:27:54The nuptials shall resume shortly and we shall proceed with our plans.
00:27:58All of them.
00:28:21I heard Miss Edwina's not eaten a morsel since the engagement in order to fit into her dress.
00:28:26It's no wonder she's been taken ill.
00:28:27I hear the royal physician has brought in leeches to hasten her recovery.
00:28:31Can you imagine?
00:28:33Rather embarrassing for Lord Bridgerton.
00:28:35And yet far more worrying for us.
00:28:37What guarantee do the rest of us have that these other young ladies won't follow the lead of the chit?
00:28:41Building their grooms left and right.
00:28:45Rather fortunate as time of events, my lord.
00:28:48Nothing makes the town come alive like a fresh candle.
00:28:50All eyes and ears seem to be open for the freshest detail.
00:28:53I suppose all we must do now is redirect their attention.
00:28:59Prudence.
00:29:02Do you wish to insult Lord Fetterington by not showing off this beautiful necklace?
00:29:07I do not understand why he should care whether I cherish it so.
00:29:10You're already engaged and he barely speaks to me.
00:29:13What sort of engagement is born of silence?
00:29:15Do as I say, child.
00:29:16Or would you rather be without any prospects like Penelope?
00:29:18Heaven forbid.
00:29:23I have given much consideration to what you said about Mr. Sharp and his degree of interest.
00:29:28No, I did not contempt you to think about that.
00:29:30You should put him out of your mind.
00:29:33I know it is odd, but I'd assumed ours was merely an intellectual bond, a friendship based in like-minded
00:29:41thought and rigorous conversation.
00:29:42But what if you were right?
00:29:44What if he feels more?
00:29:45I never said, do you want him to feel more?
00:29:50My feelings about his feelings do not matter if I do not know for a fact what it is he
00:29:53is feeling.
00:29:56Perhaps you've already gone farther than his wise.
00:29:59Have you not heard of all the trouble that once befell Lady Mary because she chose to marry Vinny Thestation?
00:30:03No one speaks of marriage, Pen.
00:30:06I am speaking of clarity of thought.
00:30:09I simply would like to know.
00:30:10But why?
00:30:12I can accept certain mysteries.
00:30:14I may never know how men came to be considered leaders when women are clearly better suited.
00:30:18I may never understand why the Modise tortures her own clients with tight bodices and scratchy fabrics.
00:30:22I may never even know who is behind Lady Whistledown.
00:30:25And you can accept such a mystery?
00:30:26Of course not, but those are mysteries I may never solve.
00:30:30This one with Theo, Mr. Sharp, I can.
00:30:33But what good will it do?
00:30:34It is not as though you can act on it.
00:30:37I suppose if I know for sure, it will be a relief.
00:30:42There's a not knowing that makes it feel like torment.
00:30:46To turn over in your mind the events of a mere conversation.
00:30:49To look at all of the evidence and still not be sure.
00:30:51It is a pleasing, stimulating, thrilling kind of torment.
00:30:58Have you ever felt that way?
00:30:59I don't.
00:30:59I can't imagine such a thing.
00:31:12Lord Bridgerton.
00:31:13Lady Mary.
00:31:15I was hoping to speak with Miss Edwina.
00:31:21Of course.
00:31:28Lord Bridgerton.
00:31:33I am quite certain this delay is rather unexpected.
00:31:38Indeed.
00:31:39But I must ask if it is in fact a delay and nothing more.
00:31:48I am considering what more there may be regarding our courtship and those involved with its interference.
00:31:54I know you may think that we...
00:31:55Please tell me you did not come here to offer me more lies or have truths, my lord.
00:32:01At least offer me that.
00:32:06I am intent upon this marriage.
00:32:08The very fact that we have arrived at this day with whatever interference there might have been should be proof
00:32:13enough.
00:32:16Indeed.
00:32:17Yet I still wonder whether it is the marriage, or me, that you truly want.
00:32:27It is both.
00:32:30Miss Edwina, I have never wavered in my intentions since the first moment of our meeting.
00:32:35It was clear to me then, as it is now, that what we share is greater than all else.
00:32:38And what is it that you believe we share?
00:32:41Our places.
00:32:43Our roles.
00:32:45They align.
00:32:46I as the Viscount.
00:32:47You as the Diamond.
00:32:49Neither by our own choice.
00:32:52We are yoked to each other in that respect.
00:32:56It is why I never gave up pursuing you, even when some thought me a fool to continue.
00:33:01It is why I was not swayed by the insults of the Sheffields, or your lack of a dowry.
00:33:08Because you love me.
00:33:17I understand you.
00:33:20I sympathize with you.
00:33:23In a certain light, I am you.
00:33:25We do not have the luxury of choice.
00:33:26We cannot escape our roles.
00:33:28But married, we may face these difficulties together.
00:33:38And what of my sister?
00:33:40What role will she play between us in the future?
00:33:47The thorn easily removed from the blossoming flower of our lives.
00:33:52She shall have no place in our future.
00:33:55Once we marry, she will return to India as she wishes.
00:34:00And you and I will be free of her.
00:34:02And that is what you now wish.
00:34:06That is what I now know.
00:34:09The great distance between us will only bring you and I closer.
00:34:12But that future is only possible if you decide today to marry me.
00:34:25I have been told what my future will look like more times than I now wish to admit, my lord.
00:34:31That I am no fool.
00:34:33I know the scandal that would ensue should the two of us fail to see this through now.
00:34:39But I cannot find that reason enough.
00:34:45I require a moment to think.
00:34:47Understand?
00:34:49Of course.
00:34:53Of course I do.
00:35:17Of course I do.
00:35:21Of course I do.
00:35:23Of course I do.
00:35:44I don't know.
00:35:58I don't know.
00:36:18Miss Sharma, I...
00:36:19This is my place of refuge.
00:36:22A closet?
00:36:23Yes.
00:36:23It may not be grand, but it met my main requirement when you were not present, so go and leave
00:36:29me in peace.
00:36:31We must speak.
00:36:32Do you realize how improper this is?
00:36:34I have just met with Miss Edwina.
00:36:36Oh.
00:36:38She was harsher than I knew her capable of being.
00:36:41Well, you cannot fault her for that.
00:36:44I concede I do not know her as well as you do, but that is why I'm coming to you
00:36:47now. You must do something.
00:36:48What would you have me do, my lord?
00:36:50More plotting and scheming to get her to comply?
00:36:54Why? It seems my sister has finally become wise to all of it. In one way, I should be quite
00:37:02proud.
00:37:03So you intend simply to cease to help her and hide in a closet as she ruins her life?
00:37:10I have ruined her life.
00:37:17You should not be here.
00:37:20Just...
00:37:21Just...
00:37:30Wait.
00:37:48Goodbye, my lord.
00:37:59Lady D'Ambrae.
00:38:02Ah.
00:38:03Whatever are you doing in here?
00:38:05I assure you, it is for good reason that I am in here and not out there.
00:38:12It is unlike you to be off somewhere, hiding.
00:38:16Well, we all require a modicum of self-reflection from time to time.
00:38:23Do you not think?
00:38:24Hmm.
00:38:29Lady Bridgerton.
00:38:32I must apologise for not sharing certain information with you.
00:38:40That business between the Sharmas and the Sheffields, well, it was not my place, but I certainly did not wish
00:38:47it to be revealed as it was at that, uh, dinner.
00:38:53This entire scheme seems to have got out of hand.
00:38:56Indeed it has.
00:38:59Daphne has, uh, well, she has finally confirmed something I have been fearing for quite some time.
00:39:07Ah.
00:39:08Something I believe you two have observed, no doubt.
00:39:16Her Majesty wishes me to repair today's situation.
00:39:23And for what may very well be the first time in my life,
00:39:30I do not know what to do.
00:39:51Oh, Peacock's dreadful creature.
00:39:56Peacock's unprovoked.
00:39:58As if the day could get any more unfortunate.
00:40:02You could always tell her that there's nothing to be done.
00:40:05The Queen of England.
00:40:07I would rather go out there and offer up my hand to one of those birds.
00:40:11It would be less painful.
00:40:17Oh.
00:40:18Oh.
00:40:20Hmm.
00:40:21Oh.
00:40:23Oh.
00:40:25Oh.
00:40:28Do you think the Bride will return to that altar?
00:40:32There is only one person who can answer that question.
00:40:39Hmm.
00:40:44What?
00:40:47Has Mama...
00:40:48You seem to know all.
00:40:49How could I possibly offer any insight of my own?
00:40:54She's off.
00:40:55Getting some air.
00:41:12Edwina, you must know.
00:41:14I never intended to wound you.
00:41:17I know I should have told you more.
00:41:19I should have told you everything.
00:41:23Yes, yes, I once did have feelings for the Viscount.
00:41:27But they were no match for the love I had and continue to have for you.
00:41:32And you must know I will do everything in my power to ensure your happiness.
00:41:37Yes, including going back to India, that is your solution, is it not?
00:41:41I wish to make things right.
00:41:42My feelings for Lord Bridgerton do not matter anymore.
00:41:45We do not have a future together.
00:41:47But you, you, Edwina, were born to be Viscountess.
00:41:57The Viscountess said the same.
00:41:59I half expect to discover the two of you prepared it ahead of time.
00:42:05I am not too proud to admit when he is right.
00:42:09You deserve this.
00:42:10Why?
00:42:12Why me and why not you?
00:42:19You view your youth and naivety as a hindrance, but it has shielded you in many ways.
00:42:24You do not remember when Appa died, when the world fell out from beneath us.
00:42:29And so to save us from an even worse fate.
00:42:32I promised I would not consider myself until you and Mama were taken care of.
00:42:37I gave what I had without regret, and I would do it again, Bon.
00:42:41I still do it.
00:42:42I give what I have in order to protect you.
00:42:49Say something, Bon.
00:42:50Anything, please.
00:42:54I do not know which pains me more.
00:42:58Your betrayal.
00:43:00Or your pity.
00:43:00Edwina, you are my sister.
00:43:02Half.
00:43:03Sister.
00:43:06What I am, Kate, is a crone woman.
00:43:11And for the first time in my life, I am able to make a decision based on what I would
00:43:15like.
00:43:17I have already imagined the life I would lead with Lord Bridgerton as Viscountess at Aubrey Hall.
00:43:22It lives in my own mind, and it is mine to do with as I like.
00:43:26So if I choose to marry Antony, it will be because it pleases me and no one else.
00:43:33I need you to understand that.
00:43:37If I go through with this wedding, it will have nothing to do with you.
00:43:58Apparently, it has to do with the honeymoon.
00:44:00Miss Edwina was not pleased with the rather simple one Lord Bridgerton had planned.
00:44:03She is using a delay to negotiate a new itinerary that will have the Queen's particular approval.
00:44:16It appears Miss Edwina is far more cunning than we have given credit.
00:44:21Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:44:22Come now, Featherington.
00:44:23It's a more appropriate venue for the discussion of business.
00:44:26We thought you might be coy, Featherington.
00:44:28Now, are these mines as profitable as we are hearing?
00:44:31I did not make the journey across the Atlantic for mere pennies.
00:44:34Look, if there is interest, then I can send word to my men on the ground in Georgia.
00:44:37Ah, indeed.
00:44:38And do these men work for you, Featherington?
00:44:41Why, of course.
00:44:41And why send word to your workers if the investment is in fact yours?
00:44:46Because I must write to my men to obtain the latest record.
00:44:50You know, wise investors would like to know if it is rubies or amethysts that we are finding more of
00:44:55these days.
00:44:56And Mr. Mondrich, I must ask about this social club of yours.
00:45:00An admirable endeavour, if not rather surprising.
00:45:04What can a boxer know about running a business?
00:45:08About as much as a gentleman knows about mining.
00:45:15Excuse me.
00:45:29Have you yet come to any agreements?
00:45:31Almost.
00:45:32You must know time is of the essence, my lord.
00:45:35Who knows how long this wedding will be delayed.
00:45:37We may never again have such an engaged audience.
00:45:39You must leave it with me, my lady.
00:45:40We must be careful not to attract too much attention.
00:45:43This opportunity must appear for the chosen few.
00:45:46Not to mention, we cannot risk snaring those who would bring scandal outweighing any profit.
00:45:50I think it best we concentrate our attentions on members of the ton who are not particularly beloved and whose
00:45:56regard matters little.
00:45:58And who would make that list?
00:45:59The Cowpers.
00:46:00The Clarksons.
00:46:01The Gorings.
00:46:02The Wallaces.
00:46:03Perhaps the better question is, and who would not make that list?
00:46:10The Bridgertons, I suppose.
00:46:12They're on the verge of enough scandal today all on their own.
00:46:14Well, they do seem liked well enough.
00:46:16Do not mistake this decision for fondness.
00:46:17It is pure strategy.
00:46:19I would never dare think you had affections for another.
00:46:21You made me far too jealous, my lady.
00:46:23Save your chance for the investors.
00:46:24Why?
00:46:25I have plenty to spare.
00:46:27Oh, my lord.
00:46:28Your lies are wasted on me.
00:46:30I do not need to lie.
00:46:31You're far too cunning to fall prey to that, are you not?
00:46:35You and I see the truth.
00:46:37And that is why this is such a promising partnership.
00:46:41I see you for the capable woman you are.
00:46:45My cousin was a fool about many things.
00:46:49None greater in leaving this world knowing you had a brilliant wife still in it.
00:46:58We must return to the garden before we're missed.
00:47:05After you.
00:47:15I must thank your majesty for such a splendid event.
00:47:19Every detail simply takes one's breath away and...
00:47:23While I quite enjoy the adulation, Lady Bridgerton,
00:47:27unless you are here to tell me that your son and his bride are at present standing at that altar,
00:47:32I simply do not have the time.
00:47:34For this wedding to fail is unacceptable.
00:47:38Lady Danbury, what have you to say?
00:47:40As always, your majesty, I am humbled by your generosity of spirit.
00:47:47Though, uh...
00:47:48Though...
00:47:49It is unlike you to lose your words, Lady Danbury.
00:47:54Though it pains us so,
00:47:56both Lady Bridgerton and I are in agreement that it is up to Miss Edwina to decide her fate.
00:48:03Wow.
00:48:04I did not realize the diamond outweighed the crown.
00:48:08It does not, your majesty.
00:48:10Pardon our interruption, your majesty.
00:48:12It is noted.
00:48:14To be sure.
00:48:16I do hope my efforts today have not been wasted.
00:48:19It has not been a waste, your majesty.
00:48:22But rather further proof of the love you have for your people, ma'am.
00:48:26Miss Edwina and I come before you humbly now, in recognition of all that you...
00:48:30Is there not a person alive who can think of something else to say to their queen,
00:48:34other than sheer flattery?
00:48:36It is the obvious choice.
00:48:40Child, are you here to tell me you are going to marry him or not?
00:48:50Did you see them?
00:48:52Your majesty.
00:48:53Your majesty.
00:48:54The fireworks.
00:48:55They were brilliant.
00:48:58Will there be more?
00:49:01Oh dear, Simsa.
00:49:03Simsa, I'm late for the ceremony.
00:49:06My king.
00:49:08Someone.
00:49:09Can someone come and assist?
00:49:11I don't need to keep you waiting, Rosie.
00:49:13my bride my beautiful bride
00:49:18where is the archbishop
00:49:20and our congregation
00:49:25George
00:49:26she's radiant
00:49:28is she not
00:49:29what are they
00:49:31what are they doing
00:49:34stop leave
00:49:35leave me
00:49:36Flotty
00:49:48she will make a most excellent queen
00:49:51your majesty
00:49:55I hear
00:49:56the two of you faced many trials
00:49:59during your happy courtship
00:50:02but today
00:50:05today will make all of it well worth it
00:50:08will it not
00:50:13yes
00:50:13then perhaps you might find your rest
00:50:16your majesty
00:50:18before you both rule this kingdom
00:50:19with the kind of love
00:50:22compassion
00:50:22and kindness
00:50:24the two of you undoubtedly share
00:50:32my queen
00:50:54oh Edwina
00:50:56oh Edwina
00:51:28I celebrate your drink
00:51:30have you succeeded already Colin
00:51:32only if whatever I'm looking for
00:51:33can be found at the bottom of this flask
00:51:35I am certain you will find your purpose one day
00:51:38everyone must eventually
00:51:39have you found yours
00:51:40of course not
00:51:42but
00:51:43I imagine it to be something very
00:51:45animated and satisfying
00:51:48the type of venture that speaks
00:51:49not to who I am
00:51:50but
00:51:51rather who I aim to be
00:51:53my purpose will challenge me
00:51:55to be brave and witty
00:51:57my purpose
00:51:58will propel me far beyond the watchful glare
00:52:01of my mama
00:52:02my purpose
00:52:04she'll set me free
00:52:07what could possibly measure up to all that
00:52:11your dreams are grander than you let on
00:52:14yes they are
00:52:15mere fantasies
00:52:17but
00:52:18I do believe we must allow ourselves those private moments
00:52:21so that we may face reality armed with our reveries
00:52:28Lady Crane
00:52:29was right about you
00:52:30Lady Crane
00:52:32what did she say
00:52:34that you cared for me
00:52:36that you would
00:52:37never forsake me
00:52:40I'm beginning to believe that now
00:52:52it appears we had another piece of cake
00:52:54before it's all gone
00:53:09El
00:53:12El whatever are you
00:53:13you've made a decision
00:53:14to visit Theo now
00:53:15Eloise it is your brother's wedding
00:53:16people will notice
00:53:17this is precisely what no one will
00:53:18everyone is so worried about Anthony and Miss Edwina
00:53:20they will hardly miss me
00:53:21simply because an opportunity presents itself
00:53:23does not mean you should take it
00:53:24surely there are other things to do
00:53:26have you seen the peacocks?
00:53:27it is vexing
00:53:28to think only of his thoughts
00:53:29when I should rather be thinking of my own
00:53:30I
00:53:32I do not know what to say
00:53:33say nothing
00:53:34that is all I ask
00:53:36I'm only telling you now
00:53:37because you are my friend
00:53:38and I do not wish for secrets to set us apart
00:54:13do you like that one?
00:54:14your majesty
00:54:15your majesty I
00:54:16I wore it for his majesty's golden jubilee
00:54:20here
00:54:21oh
00:54:22I could not possibly
00:54:23yes you could
00:54:33miss Edwina
00:54:35I chose you as the season's diamond for a reason
00:54:38yes you possessed great beauty
00:54:41but
00:54:42you made an impression
00:54:44you still do
00:54:46and you still can
00:54:48even after all the confusion of the day
00:54:50and after most especially
00:54:52all that has been witnessed in private
00:54:56all that I have witnessed ma'am
00:54:58is the love a king shares with his queen
00:55:01and nothing more
00:55:02I should certainly not find the proper words to discuss it
00:55:06even if given a million lifetimes to do so
00:55:10the challenge of the crown is that it is tangible
00:55:13it is a physical reminder of the position
00:55:16it is why say Lady Whistledown circulates her pamphlets
00:55:20instead of trading in whispered rumour
00:55:21a whisper is relevant for only as long as it is spoken
00:55:25but a paper represents more
00:55:26its physical form grants permanence
00:55:29the same cannot be said of true love of course
00:55:32it changes
00:55:33it forgets
00:55:35it forces you
00:55:37to remember who you once were
00:55:39and it forces you to choose
00:55:41how you will live with it
00:55:42again and again
00:55:45how does one make that choice
00:55:49that I cannot dictate
00:55:53it's of each person deciding what to do
00:55:55in the face of true love
00:55:58everyone deserves to make that choice
00:56:01just as everyone deserves to feel its power
00:56:03but one must know
00:56:07it is the hardest and greatest choice one can ever make
00:56:14it is a distinctly human act to marry
00:56:24animals require no contracts or dowries
00:56:37the hen and the rooster make no vows
00:57:07you sent word for me
00:57:09I thought you sent word for me
00:57:24I have made my decision
00:57:26I thought it best you both hear it from me
00:57:28Edwina we should speak in private
00:57:31I cannot marry you
00:57:32Lord Bridgerton
00:57:34you cannot provide me with what it is that I want
00:57:39what it is that I deserve
00:57:42what everyone deserves
00:57:45I may not know exactly what true love feels like
00:57:48but I certainly know what it is not
00:57:52it is not deception
00:57:55or wandering eyes
00:57:56or a role to be fulfilled
00:58:01I cannot marry you
00:58:03I cannot marry you
00:58:03because I cannot betray myself
00:58:06you will never meet my eyes in the same manner
00:58:08that you met my sisters on that altar today
00:58:10you will never
00:58:14you will never look at me the same way
00:58:22you say you have spent your life trying to give me everything I lacked
00:58:27but really you simply gave me everything you really wanted for yourself
00:58:32as though my life were not my own
00:58:34I did not ask for any of it Kate
00:58:39so today I can be sure that what I leave behind is not my loss
00:58:43it is yours
00:58:46your dream
00:58:47your plan
00:58:48your feelings that I had merely borrowed
00:58:52today
00:58:53you have lost your power
00:58:56well I have made up my own mind
00:59:01and that is victory enough for me
00:59:15leave it to people to complicate matters
00:59:18with their ceremonies and their cakes
00:59:22is it not a wonder that anyone marries at all
00:59:25it is not as if wizard weiner could do any better than the vicar
00:59:29perhaps it is for that very reason she changed her mind
00:59:32she knows she's not worthy of this
00:59:33well perhaps we might judge the Viscount anew
00:59:36perhaps Miss Edwina discovered something the rest of us might wish to know of too
00:59:42yeah
00:59:45oh your grace
00:59:47Duchess
00:59:48shall we make our way home mama
00:59:50I believe we shall
00:59:52indeed some may call a wedding the ultimate act of faith
00:59:58while others would venture that it is the ultimate act of fools
01:00:05you've come quite a long way to ask me something
01:00:07so go on
01:00:10I have thoughts
01:00:12I can see how that might pose a problem for someone in your world
01:00:15thoughts I would like to share
01:00:17with you
01:00:18and are you not sharing them now?
01:00:21what I am failing to say is
01:00:23that often
01:00:25when I read something new or
01:00:28interesting or provoking
01:00:31it is you who crosses my mind
01:00:33it is you I would like to speak with about those thoughts
01:00:42I see
01:00:46and so I am wondering
01:00:48you might also have thoughts
01:00:50of me
01:00:51when you think
01:01:10I've read all of these
01:01:19I set them aside for you
01:01:22I thought
01:01:24perhaps you might
01:01:26share your thoughts on them
01:01:33eagerly awaiting two words
01:01:36I do
01:01:38bride and groom declare intention alone
01:01:41with no guarantee of happiness
01:01:48all is not lost today ma'am
01:01:50I have received word
01:01:51it had better be a worthy distraction
01:01:54our chat for lady whistledown has indeed produced a result
01:02:04marriage amounts to little more than human ritual
01:02:08we may not force the rooster or hen
01:02:11yet we continue to collect eggs
01:02:14does that make us more complicated
01:02:17or simply too stubborn to believe that we must orchestrate
01:02:21what nature has already ordained
01:02:27I suppose we ought to go
01:02:33Lord Bridgerton
01:02:38your sister is braver
01:02:40and wiser than us both
01:02:42she had the courage to act on what she sensed between us
01:02:45and here we are
01:02:46standing perfectly still
01:02:50having felt it for months
01:02:54I stand here
01:02:58because the moment we go
01:03:03the moment we step foot outside those doors
01:03:09we face the truth
01:03:11of our situation
01:03:12of our failures
01:03:14we have indeed failed my lord
01:03:17of our duties
01:03:19of our responsibilities
01:03:22we have failed at it all
01:03:26so forgive me
01:03:27if it is now my wish
01:03:32to suspend time
01:03:35to delay the inevitable
01:03:37to for a mere moment
01:03:39not think of what comes next
01:03:45to wait
01:04:00goodbye my lord
01:04:01goodbye my lord
