00:02You
00:34Let's go.
01:09I don't know.
01:38I don't know.
02:00I don't know.
02:00I am curious that I will allow no such thing.
02:04Should I really deliver the message, Your Grace?
02:06You cannot believe I shall welcome you back into my bed after your lies and deception.
02:11Rest assured, marital relations are the least of my concern after your recent efforts.
02:16Then for what other purpose could you possibly wish to detain me?
02:19Because you are my wife.
02:24It is customary for a wife to reside in her own bedchamber once the honeymoon is over.
02:30A time that is well and truly past, would you not agree?
02:33I will be kept informed as to the success of your conjugal endeavors.
02:38I would never dream of concealing the truth of such important matters.
02:42Your Grace, Whistledown has just arrived.
02:46Well, you should...
02:48Is something wrong?
02:49We must pack straight away.
02:51Yes, Your Grace.
02:52What has happened?
02:55My brother seems to have been embroiled in scandal.
02:57I must return to see my family immediately.
02:59They will need me.
03:00I will accompany you.
03:01This is a family matter.
03:02Separate bedrooms may be tolerated.
03:04Separate households will not be suffered.
03:07I shall not let you out of my sight until we know whether you are with child.
03:12Please request that His Grace prepare his largest carriage.
03:17I shall acquire my space.
03:35Miss Marina Thompson's recent fall from Grace continues to echo through every drawing room in town.
03:42Days after it was revealed, her engagement to Colin Bridgerton was nothing more than a sham.
03:56Of course, a lady's disgrace does not merely tarnish her own name.
04:02Like the Tars of the Thames, it also leaves a horrid smear on anyone nearby.
04:09Hold still, my chérie.
04:13This scandal could very well tarnish my debut, Mama.
04:16Perhaps we should delay my coming out altogether a few years.
04:19Hush, child.
04:20All will be well.
04:20Just keep smiling.
04:22Can a smile be enough to save the Featheringtons?
04:24Penelope and her sisters did nothing wrong, but their reputations are destroyed.
04:27You should be worrying about your own family's fortunes at present.
04:30We are in just as perilous position.
04:32Lovely day, is it not, Lady Richmond?
04:38Is this whistle-down?
04:39I certainly never want to cross the woman. A word as good as gospel.
04:43Yes.
04:45Though perhaps if she can destroy her reputation, she can restore one too.
04:52Oh!
04:53Tres elegante, Miss Puchetan.
04:56What a debutante you will be.
04:58While there is no parasol in the world strong enough to shelter a ruined woman, the fallen Miss Thompson can
05:06only hope she shall find a refuge... somewhere.
05:10I'm sorry, my lady, but we are full.
05:11This is an emergency.
05:13The young lady's child will have nowhere else to go.
05:16Must make exceptions on occasion.
05:18They should be able to procure room.
05:20If one were to make a sizeable donation.
05:23This is supposed to be a charitable organization.
05:25Even charity requires funds.
05:27Of which you must have considerable amounts, I presume?
05:30Oh.
05:32Oh.
05:33Oh.
05:44Oh, hold it!
05:49We have arrived.
05:56there is no need to act the jailer i shall not discover i'm with child within the next hour
06:02shall i miss thompson must be in agonies over this lies why can i not visit her
06:09colin listen to me brother that the ton devours every bit of whistle downs on d is the only thing
06:14keeping this family from shame because of her column no one believes you are the father of
06:17miss thompson's child but if you were to go near her then they will presume you're responsible
06:21for her ruin and all your sisters will pay the price for your notoriety is this what you desire
06:25well of course not evening everyone do it what are you doing here dav did you not be
06:30frolicking in newlywed bliss i came as swiftly as our courage would allow when i heard the news
06:35in the middle of your honeymoon these things must surely be cursing the bridgeton name for this
06:38where is he anyhow he went to set up pastings house we have all things in order sister we do
06:44not require
06:44your assistance oh well that is simply not true anthony and you know it daphne may be the answer
06:49to all of our problems oh once the tons say that we still have the favor of the duke and
06:52the duchess
06:53then the whispers may very well cease and we shall go about our daily lives as if nothing has happened
06:58as if nothing is awry no one will be the wiser
07:03well pretending that nothing is amiss is the perfect way to lure the ignorant into submission
07:08is it not mama now what grand event will the ton be descending upon this week surely there is
07:17something the um the queen is hosting a luncheon i am certain the duke and i can secure an invitation
07:25if we are lucky our return to london will give everyone so much to talk about they simply have
07:31no breath left to discuss other matters i'm so very glad this has all been settled on my behalf
07:49you really wanted to marry her i did well then perhaps we should count you lucky
07:56to not have married a stranger she was not a stranger she was brother whistledown knew her
08:01better than you whistledown knows everyone's secrets and you are lucky to have learnt miss thompson's
08:05now instead of after your wedding day
08:13i know you must think me a fool
08:16but my heart pays no heed to mere logic when i think of her i only want to be near
08:21her to be
08:21with her despite all reason otherwise
08:27i know that madness well but you cannot visit her
08:38leander swam abydos to sestos every single night in complete darkness just to see his love
08:43leander also lost his way and drowned
08:49so the story goes
08:53did something happen sister back at cliveden
09:01if you really must speak with miss thompson
09:03perhaps i can arrange a rendezvous chaperoned obviously
09:07i would appreciate that you will see my passions are not in vain
09:21always were a fast learner friend
09:23but i should probably conserve my energies for my exhibitions instead of spending them on your troubles
09:28you're about to feed to me
09:30surely that will not help with your exhibitions
09:33i've not seen you this in sense since you handed the keys to your duty
09:36i will not speak on my duty
09:40fair enough
09:41i presume you won't speak of what happened on your honeymoon
09:43either
09:44nothing happened
09:45on my honeymoon
09:47i cannot imagine your wife feeling particularly excited about that
09:50i suggest you'd not try to imagine anything to do with my wife's feelings
09:53or action for that matter
09:58it follows no reason or sense does it
10:01what
10:01marriage
10:03and there is not a bloody thing you can do about it
10:06i took a vow

10:46i have already seen you
10:52the queen is holding a luncheon this week
10:55we will need to attend with my brother to signal our support
11:01where have you been all night
11:03i did not think you concerned about my whereabouts
11:06is this truly what our marriage will be for the future
11:10you are all night doing god knows what with god knows whom
11:13with whom
11:14you wound me
11:16not three weeks since we were wed
11:18it'll really imagine me disloyal
11:19is it such a wild imagining
11:22we both know your reputation your grace
11:24it is clear that you find there is nothing left in our marriage
11:27nothing left
11:29is this what i said
11:33is it what you believe
11:34is this to be a good time
11:34is this to be a good time
11:56has to be a good time
11:56favorite mission is to bring the world in the past
12:03isn't it any of them
12:03do we take the whole place
12:033 is a good time
12:03we're all night continue to support working on everything
12:04Oh, my God.
12:41Well, shall we go into the bedroom and finish what we started?
12:50No.
12:59What is to become of us? Simon!
13:02If you are with child, then I shall stay and do my duty to support you both.
13:05And if I am not?
13:06Then we shall remain married, in name only.
13:10You will be provided for, of course, in a matter befitting the Duchess.
13:14But I shall not darken your doorstep again.
13:16Our lives will be entirely separate.
13:19This cannot happen.
13:22This will not happen, do you understand me?
13:24That we no longer trust each other?
13:28Yes, Your Grace.
13:29I understand that quite well.
13:59This will not happen.
14:01Miss Thompson, thank you for joining us.
14:04I did not realise I had a choice.
14:06My brother wished for an audience.
14:08And I wish to avoid any further scandal attached to my family's name.
14:14I will remain here as a chaperone.
14:19Marina, you must tell me that this Whistledown woman is mistaken.
14:23What she wrote, it cannot be true.
14:25But it is.
14:28You what? With child?
14:31I do not understand. We were to be wed.
14:34You said you loved me.
14:36Colin, I hold you in the greatest esteem.
14:39Esteem? You are a cruel woman indeed, to stand here and talk of friendly affection
14:44as if you have not just committed a grave sin against me.
14:47Speak not of sin, Mr Bridgerton.
14:50I did not come here to be shamed by you, nor anyone else.
15:00I did not know better.
15:03You may think me a villain, but I did what I thought I must.
15:07No one ever truly helped me, or guided me in a different direction.
15:11I had no choice.
15:13I needed to wed, and you, you were the only man who offered me even a glimpse of happiness.
15:18So I should feel flattered, then?
15:21Consider myself lucky that you chose me, lied to me, tried to trick me into a fraud of a marriage.
15:35I shall take my leave of you for the last time, Miss Thompson.
15:51You wish to know the cruelest part of your deception.
15:55If you had simply come to me and told me of your situation,
15:59I would have married you without a second thought.
16:02That is how, in love, I believe myself to be.
16:09But I see now that was all a lie.
16:21I believe I would like to return home now.
16:25After all, we don't want another scandal attached to your family name.
16:35The carriage is waiting, ma'am.
16:36We must prepare for the Queen's luncheon.
16:38Of course.
17:01Oh, is this not lovely?
17:04All of us together again.
17:06Lovely indeed.
17:06We should tempt scandal more often.
17:12Duchess, may I say how well you look?
17:15Oh, you are too kind.
17:16Is it not marvellous to be wed?
17:18It is both a joy and a wonder indeed.
17:21Make way!
17:22Must you all act like sheep flocking to the trough?
17:27I have a hundred guineas wagered on there being a Hastings heir within the year.
17:31Are you yet with child?
17:32We have certainly been devoting our energies to the endeavor, Your Majesty.
17:36We should hope to see our Queen soon satisfied.
17:39See to it that you do.
17:45Your duplicity comes so naturally.
17:47I seem to have learnt from the best.
17:52I've missed you at the studio late.
17:54You must join me for another drawing lesson.
17:55As I said, improvement is all a matter of practice.
17:59At least that is the excuse he gives for coming home with paint in all kinds of peculiar places.
18:08Ah, were you able to meet my friend Weatherby at my party?
18:12Come, I shall introduce you.
18:14No, thank you.
18:16I see my mother requires my presence.
18:18Good day.
18:23Your Majesty requires an audience.
18:25With me now?
18:41Who is she?
18:43Your Majesty.
18:45Whistledown, I've tasked you with unmasking the scandal monger.
18:48Believe me, I am intent on locating her and I'm angry at myself for having not yet uncovered her identity.
18:54But I was thinking...
18:54Clearly not fast enough.
18:56My patience has limits.
18:58Get me an answer.
19:00Your Queen commands it.
19:02Of course.
19:03Your Majesty.
19:07So, you have returned.
19:11Excellent timing, what with all the tittle-tattle concerning your brother.
19:15A mere coincidence, Lady Danbury, I am sure.
19:19Your plan is working.
19:20I have heard nary a peep about Mr. Bridgerton's unfortunate entanglement with the Thompson girl.
19:26Oh, I almost forgot.
19:28I am hosting a party I would very much like you to attend.
19:32We love a good party.
19:34I'm not sure when we will be accepting invitations.
19:37It is an invitation for one.
19:40Only you, Your Grace.
19:42A special soiree with the married ladies of Baton, of which you are the newest member.
20:07The audacity.
20:10Don't they try to entrap poor Mr. Bridgerton into marriage with a woman with child?
20:15Oh.
20:19Ben.
20:23How are you faring?
20:24Has it been terrible at the house?
20:26I have not had a caller in three days.
20:28My mother swears we are ruined.
20:31But, what have you, Colin?
20:33Is he in pieces from the news?
20:34His pride has wounded, but he will be quite well.
20:37The gentlemen always are in these matters.
20:38But, Ben, you have not heard what people are saying.
20:42Lady Wustledown has gone too far this time.
20:43And I thought you were her greatest admirer.
20:45Not when she has smeared the name of my greatest friend.
20:48When we uncover Wustledown's identity, we will convince her to publish a retraction
20:52and restore your family's reputation.
20:54All will be well again, I promise you.
20:58My dear Lady Bridgerton.
21:00Is this not a dreadful circumstance for us both to have been so duked by that scheming hussy?
21:06To think that Miss Thompson would take advantage of my kindness after I opened my home to her.
21:11You must believe.
21:13I had no idea of...
21:21Lady Featherington, I must ask you to leave.
21:24But I have an invitation.
21:26Not anymore.
21:27I'm sure you wish to avoid any further unpleasantness.
21:30I'm sure you wish to avoid any further unpleasantness.
21:45That should teach them.
21:47Teach them what, Miss Calgar?
21:50Judging not, lest we too be judged.
21:53É
22:15Something troubles you.
22:20i know you are a grown woman now but i am still your mother and you can come to me
22:24when you need
22:24advice marriage has its joys but it also brings with it its special trials when that you are
22:32correct my marriage is far from perfect within share your thoughts perhaps i can offer my wisdom
22:40well perhaps you will send me off with more vague metaphors and trite remarks darling i i am
22:48merely trying to be of help do you know what might have truly helped matters
22:52if your motherly advice had actually prepared me to wed whatever do you mean i mean mama that you
22:59sent me out into the world no better than a fool you taught me how to play pretend but nothing
23:07it was the realities of married life of marital relations
23:15if you had informed me about the things that were truly important if i'd have known the truth then
23:20perhaps i
23:26daphne
23:31it is the heat the duchess is quite overcome
23:46we were ridiculed by all today treated as though we were worth it and it's all your fault
23:51how could i have been at fault i was not even there well if it were not for your habit
23:56we would have been able to rid ourselves of miss thompson the moment we learned of her condition
24:00none of this would have happened milady the duchess of hastings she is here
24:19i'm so glad you thought to visit us your grace i fear your mother was rather heated at the
24:23luncheon but of course if you have come to offer an explanation i require a word with miss thompson
24:31hello
24:38for what it is worth i am sorry your brother is a sweet boy you do not need to
24:44i came here to apologize to you
24:46to me
24:47i misjudged you
24:49and i wanted to tell you that what you felt you had to do
24:53i understand
24:55i wish it had not happened this way
24:57no you are certainly not the only one
25:02george was a soldier
25:05but he was also gentle and kind
25:08he was perfect
25:12i fancied myself in love
25:16the next thing i knew my courses stopped
25:19and i found myself with child and
25:26and alone
25:30what is sir george's surname
25:33or do you know where he is stationed
25:35his regiment
25:36whatever for your grace
25:38i hear general langham and his wife are in london
25:42perhaps i could speak to him
25:44or her and have
25:45have sir george found
25:48what use would that be
25:49george does not want to be with me
25:51no but do you really want to be alone
25:54no rank
25:55no protection
25:56no support for you or your child
25:59surely anything is better than that
26:01why should he
26:02be the one to choose your future
26:04when he clearly cares not for the outcome
26:07he is at fault here
26:10perhaps i can make him come back
26:13and take responsibility
26:15for you and his child
26:19why should you be left all alone
26:21to bear the punishment for his crime
26:24you truly think you can do this
26:26i assure you miss thompson
26:30i'm quite capable of doing more than you think
26:51i have defeated the best
26:53and i'm confident i shall continue to do so
26:55there is an appetite for my exhibitions
26:58but they are expensive
27:00which is why i'm not here to invest
27:02i have a more lucrative proposition in mind
27:05say for you and i to come to some arrangement
27:09as to the outcome of your next fight
27:13i'm sorry to have taken your time
27:15my lord but i think you would be wise
27:18to leave
27:19and you'd be wise to listen
27:21would you rather stake your fortunes
27:23on the outcome of a business scheme
27:24which may very well fail
27:26or back the sure thing
27:28you agree to throw your next match
27:31and i'll make such a wager
27:32on your opponent
27:33that even half my winnings
27:35will set you and your family up for life
27:37my honor
27:38is not for sale
27:54there's a reason your back is a dwindling
27:56mr mondridge
27:58you're a performer
27:59a mere entertainment
28:01we are happy to trade wages
28:03on the outcome of your fists
28:05but no gentleman
28:06will ever see you
28:08as a respectable man of business
28:10i know
28:11you have a fighting spirit
28:14passed down by your father
28:16no doubt
28:17he was a soldier
28:18yeah
28:19managed to flee the colonies
28:21after serving in dunmore's regiment
28:24do you think he sought his freedom
28:27or for his future son
28:29to become some exhausted fighter
28:30stumbling into the ring
28:32and to put food on the table
28:33of his family
28:36do not dare speak of my family
28:39of course
28:40i
28:41i apologize
28:45i only mean to say
28:46i'm doing this for my family too
28:49it's okay
28:50one
28:50simple arrangement
28:52and both our problems will be solved
28:58i merely ask that you
28:59have a think on it
29:01at the very least
29:20the ton has been desperate for you
29:21since you returned
29:22we've been drowning in calling cards
29:24lady danbury requires your attendance
29:25at her party on thursday
29:27a collection of married ladies
29:29i can only imagine the questions
29:31they will have for me
29:32i shall inform her footman
29:33that you are not feeling well from the trouble
29:35your grace
29:36your grace
29:40do you suppose the general's wife
29:42will be in attendance
29:43at lady danbury soiree
29:44mrs langham
29:46i heard she enjoys society
29:48then send word back
29:49i would love to attend
29:50thank you
30:26Your grace, welcome to my den of iniquity.
30:42I believe you already know, Lady Trowbridge, your grace, but have you met Lucy Granville?
30:47And this is Kitty Langham.
30:50The General's wife, yes.
30:53Well, lovely to meet you all.
30:56Well, do not just stare, keep the Duchess in.
31:01We shall teach you the rules.
31:02First a woman takes her wedding vows, then we gamblers take her virtue.
31:07If her husband has left any to be taken.
31:11Have no fear.
31:13Each turn, all you have to do is set your token on the card.
31:17You believe the dealer will turn over.
31:20Now, ladies, place your bets.
31:24It takes away the thing of losing, I rather think.
31:29The Duchess is a quick study.
31:31I'm sure she will have the measure of things in no time.
31:33All it takes is a little practice and perseverance.
31:52Evening, your grace.
31:55It's funny meeting you here.
31:56I am utterly comical.
31:59You've been avoiding me.
32:00Oh, no, you were being the jester.
32:02If you're not avoiding my company, then you won't mind if I join you for a drink?
32:04Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
32:06Oh, thank you, my wife.
32:13Oh, dear.
32:18You just . . . .
32:31Oh, dear.
32:32Oh, dear.
32:32Oh, dear.
32:33Oh, dear.
32:39I just need a large glass.
32:40Yes.
32:49The Earl would have my head if he knew how much money I've lost.
32:52The Earl is with two years old.
32:55Well, then I'm in luck, am I not?
33:05It seems I have been blessed with some beginner's luck.
33:08The game is not over yet, Your Grace.
33:11I wonder, Mrs. Langer...
33:13Kitty, please.
33:15You have won so much of my money, it is only right.
33:18Kitty, then.
33:20There is a soldier in service I'm hoping to find for a friend.
33:23Do you think your husband might be able to assist me?
33:26You will have to ask that of him yourself.
33:28He is so ready at her.
33:30I'm so sorry.
33:31Whatever for.
33:32It is quite the ideal situation to live a separate life to one's husband.
33:36I am afforded all the freedoms of marriage while bearing none of the burden of his company.
33:42And what of your children?
33:43Do they not miss their father?
33:45It's difficult to miss someone you've never known.
33:48You forget.
33:49The Duchess is still in the first bloom of marriage.
33:54Yes.
33:55The famous love match.
33:58Pay me no heed.
33:59The Dukes company, I am sure, is anything but a burden to you.
34:04I can't tell you where to write.
34:06My husband.
34:07Perhaps the general will grant you a response.
34:10It is not as if you are his wife.
34:15Duchess, you win again.
34:18Just seeing how you entertain yourself, I'd rather think you the victor, Lady Dundrie.
34:23I'd rather think so too.
34:25Again.
34:28It's a fine colour.
34:31And the bubbles?
34:35Just right.
34:37Don't get me wrong.
34:38I love a good brandy.
34:39But sometimes nothing will do but a beer.
34:41Would you just get to the point?
34:44I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
34:45Yes, you do.
34:47You're correct, I do.
34:49Just like I know that you've obviously made a considerable error with my sister.
34:52How, may I ask, could you infer that I was the one to make the error?
34:55Well, I know my sister quite well.
34:58And while she is an unusually capable woman, she's not capable of fucking up this severely.
35:05Do you lot ever get tired of pretending to be so perfect?
35:09It's exhausting just watching you.
35:10We may not be perfect, but at least we keep our promises.
35:12You know nothing of my commitments.
35:13I am trying to be a man of my word.
35:15I am trying to keep...
35:19I would not expect you to understand.
35:21What do you mean by that?
35:22I mean that you leave a litany of broken promises behind you everywhere you go.
35:26Your duty to protect Daphne from Nigel Burbrook?
35:28Or what about your own reckless affairs?
35:30Are you still seeing that opera thing you believe no one knows about?
35:32You judge me, yet you cannot possibly understand the responsibility of heading a family
35:35because you've never had one.
35:37Ah, but Daphne is my family now, and there is no changing that.
35:40Though it is most unfortunate that I shall never quite reach the lofty ideal you have demonstrated.
35:44What is most unfortunate is the fact that your father was so absent,
35:48he never gave you a proper example of how to lead a household.
36:01Well, you certainly make it look difficult.
36:06I beg your pardon.
36:07With your constant struggles, you cannot manage it, can you?
36:10Haze...
36:10Your responsibility, you, fulfilling the promise that every firstborn son makes to his father before he dies.
36:18Do you think he is looking down on you now?
36:21Ashamed?
36:23Mortified at what you have done?
36:24I wonder what would the former Viscount say?
36:43I'll see you.
37:21It seems I became a little too rough training with Will.
37:34Shall I call for Jeffreys?
37:35No.
37:42Let me, with four brothers, you cannot imagine the nasty cuts I have tended to over the years.
37:48Let me, with four brothers, let me, with four brothers, let me, with four brothers and sisters.
38:43Why won't you not afford yourself to me?
38:51A child would be a blessing.
39:02Tell me why you are so adamant.
39:04Because I swore a long time ago that I would never sire a child.
39:08I do not understand.
39:11My father cared more about the continuation of the Hastings line than anything in the world.
39:23More than my mother. More than me.
39:29And so I made a vow that his efforts would be in vain.
39:35That the line would die with me.
39:44So this is all.
39:48Because of a vow.
39:52You made a vow to me too.
39:54Or has our wedding day slipped your mind?
39:56I told you.
39:57You told me that you could not have children.
40:01You did not tell me it was some...
40:03some token of revenge against a man who no longer walks this earth.
40:08I swore to him on his deathbed.
40:10And you betrayed me in our marriage bed.
40:20Let me be certain I understand.
40:23You will neither have children.
40:25Nor the happiness we could have together because you promised your father you would not.
40:30I...
40:33Say it.
40:35Say it.
40:37It cannot be undone.
40:42Then I thank you for your elucidation, your grace.
40:46If your hatred for your father outweighs any...
40:50affection that you might bear towards me.
40:53Then you are right.
40:56It cannot be undone.
40:59My courses are due within the next few days.
41:02You will know then which vow you have broken and how we are to spend the rest of our lives.
41:07Miserable.
41:08Together.
41:10Perfectly happy apart.
41:19Dearest reader, a question.
41:22Is anything more exhilarating than taking a gamble?
41:27For it is often the highest risk that carries the greatest reward.
41:35I'm not sure if I can afford this reward.
41:38Yet, wager wrongly, and you might find yourself left with nothing but regret.
41:48Ensure it is delivered to this address.
41:50Yes, you got it.
41:51Of course, one can never know for sure whether a wager will make a fortune or ruin it.
41:57Unless one chooses a more secure pursuit.
42:04But as the season continues, the biggest gamblers have yet to truly show their hand.
42:12Which leaves gossip in short supply in recent days.
42:16In fact, this author can think of no other event that merits a mention.
42:22No other event?
42:24But my luncheon.
42:26At least she did not say anything odious.
42:29It is far worse.
42:32She wrote nothing.
42:41It is worthy of note, however, that the Duke and Duchess of Hastings have yet to entertain callers together.
42:55Our newlyweds are no doubt still secluded in nuptial bliss.
43:03Who could fault them?
43:06And who could be surprised if their diligent efforts are rewarded with a new arrival within the year?
43:26In the past, every whistled-down revelation appeared to be plucked from a public event where any number of our
43:32town could have borne witness.
43:33But the column that singled out Marina was different.
43:34It was personal.
43:36Your mama did not just help Marina hide her condition all on her own.
43:38Well, of course not.
43:39Every servant in our household knew.
43:41Servant is unlikely.
43:44Though perhaps a tradesperson?
43:46Someone who visited your household regularly might have seen or overheard something?
43:51It is a possibility.
43:51In that case, we must reconsider our methods of inquiry to this end.
43:55Oh, this is wonderful, Ben.
43:56I must tell the Queen of our new theory.
43:59Then tell her at tonight's concert.
44:03I know you are not yet out, but I'm sure your mama would still allow you to attend.
44:07Once we unmask Whistledown.
44:09Yes, yes, the Featherington honour will be restored.
44:12I must return home.
44:14I'll just take the backstage so no-one will see me.
44:16And, Elle, thank you.
44:24I wrote to General Langham.
44:27I have told him all about Sir George.
44:29If he is a man of honour.
44:31You wrote to the General?
44:32Yes.
44:33And did the Duke sign his name as well?
44:35On this letter?
44:39Well...
44:40No.
44:43But...
44:44Marina, what is it?
44:45The General will not concern himself to write back to you, Your Grace.
44:51You do not know that.
44:53They will pay attention to the words of a Duchess.
44:56You must.
44:57Are you so unworldly?
44:59I...
45:00I'm sorry, I...
45:01Your help is greatly appreciated, but there is nothing more you can do.
45:05Marina...
45:06But it's over.
45:07I have already accepted the fact.
45:10I thank you for your efforts.
45:23Missing the concert?
45:24Indeed.
45:26Not exactly in the mood for music and fine night this evening.
45:33I want to apologise.
45:38Are there locusts in the street?
45:40Blood in the Thames?
45:41Are the end of days upon us already?
45:43I may have been a trifle harsh with you.
45:46And I'm sorry.
45:48You merely wish to protect me from my more...
45:51...foolish impulses?
45:52So you admit it now, you are acting a fool.
45:54As apologies go, this is certainly not...
45:56Hush, you.
46:00You may hurt now, but the pain will pass.
46:03You have the love of all your family.
46:05And the honour of your actions.
46:08Soon you will forget Miss Thompson's name and it will...
46:13It will be as if you never loved her at all.
46:16And how have these precepts served you?
46:19Aside from being the most dismal, most troubling ones I've heard in quite some time.
46:24It's a work in progress to be sure.
46:29I suppose I was surprised to hear you wish to join us this evening.
46:32And I suppose I must be grateful for your restraint not using any feathers.
46:36You look lovely.
46:37Mm.
46:40Eloise.
46:44Taking your place in society should be an exciting time in a young woman's life.
46:50If you are not truly ready, I shall not ask you to play pretend.
46:55Perhaps I have been rushing you.
46:58We need not hasten your coming out before you feel prepared.
47:08The Queen will be in attendance at tonight's concert, will she not?
47:11I believe she will.
47:13Then I am looking forward to it.
47:15An exciting time indeed, Mama.
47:39Are you ready?
47:41I am.
47:47I am, Fran.
47:58Fuck my heart, thank you.
48:09Watch the Karen extensions before recently.
48:16Sir Granville
48:18Bridgerton
48:19I would simply like to understand your
48:29situation
48:32I'd just like to understand
48:33It is simple
48:35I'm in love with Lord Weatherby
48:37You're married
48:39And our marriage affords my wife her freedoms
48:41and protections
48:42It is a happier union than most of the people in this room have
48:45I assure you
48:47And what is the advantage for the young ladies
48:49Lord Weatherby is courting?
48:50Or do they also share this understanding?
48:52What about honour? Romance?
48:54What would you know of either?
48:57We live on a constant threat of danger, Bridgerton
48:59I risk my life every day
49:02For love
49:05You have no idea what it is like
49:07To be in a room with someone you cannot live without
49:11And yet still feel as though you are oceans apart
49:14Stealing your glances, disguising your touches
49:16We cannot so much as smile at each other
49:20Without first ensuring no one else is watching
49:25It takes courage
49:28To live outside the traditional expectations of society
49:33You talk of doing the same
49:36But perhaps it is merely just that
49:40We'll talk
49:53And so you see
49:54Your majesty
49:55It is clear as day
49:56Lady Whistledown is someone who works closely with the members of the town
49:59Yet she is not a member herself
50:01She
50:02Is a tradesperson
50:04Is that all?
50:07I beg your pardon?
50:08I am no longer in need of your services
50:11But
50:12My theory
50:13It is not necessary
50:15I have hired a team of Bow Street runners to do a proper investigation
50:19They will unmask Whistledown
50:21And she shall be made to pay for her impertinence
50:24That noxious gossip rag
50:27Who finally ceased to exist
50:29You want to silence her
50:32There is still good she must do
50:36Child
50:36Go
50:45How long is this concert?
50:46Three hours
50:47Four
50:48Though I certainly have already heard enough
50:52You are my most favourite brother
50:55Do you know that?
51:24I am not sure
51:31I would like to make a stop and pick up a friend.
51:34A friend? Should I not have a friend?
51:39I'm not bound by the rules of society.
51:43Please do not tell mother.
51:55Why are we at the motifs?
52:03Ma'am, Mrs. Bridgerton.
52:06This is my sister Louise, and we will be dropping her at home.
52:29How was your night, ma chérie?
52:31It was everything I expected. Horrible and terribly boring.
52:39So this is why you do not wish to lower your hands?
52:44The entire ton were there, and I did not have a single worthwhile exchange.
52:47The entire ton? You mean everyone except for the Featheringtons?
52:52Yes, everyone except.
52:55Sir.
52:58Your mama did not just help me in a high-tech condition all on her own.
53:01Of course not. Every servant in our household knew.
53:03They were perhaps a tradesperson.
53:05I certainly never want to cross the world a word as good as gospel.
53:15Is everything well, Eloise?
53:20Hmm.
53:27No, Eloise?
53:28No, Eloise?
53:29No, Eloise?
53:49Go, Eloise?
