00:00:21You. A lady whistler.
00:00:23Colin, I...
00:00:24Do not try to deny it. I heard you. With the printer.
00:00:28To think I ran after you because I was worried about you.
00:00:32Terrified that your carriage driver had abducted you to this part of town.
00:00:35When in truth, you knew exactly what you were doing.
00:00:38Because it was you who printed tonight.
00:00:40I did not print tonight's edition.
00:00:41Oh, but every other one.
00:00:44Is it not you who has been Lady Whistledown all along?
00:00:53All of the lies you have told me.
00:00:57All of the things you have written about me and my family.
00:01:01I knew something was wrong.
00:01:03Stupidly, I blamed myself.
00:01:05As if I was undeserving of your love.
00:01:09But you are the one that is at fault.
00:01:13I will never forgive you.
00:01:14I will never forgive you.
00:01:18I will never forgive you.
00:01:20I will never forgive you.
00:01:21I will never forgive you.
00:01:26Just tell me.
00:01:31Now to take you, Lady Whistledown.
00:01:33Do your daddy whistledown.
00:01:33Do your daddy whistledown.
00:01:47Dearest gentle reader, if you thought that revealing my true identity would stifle me,
00:01:54guess again. I fear no reproach as now you know I write
00:02:03to you from one of the most reputable houses in Mayfair.
00:02:08Certainly no house is perfect, though there are some that purport to be.
00:02:16Take for example Bridgerton House, with its shining reputation. This author must question
00:02:23what really goes on behind closed doors.
00:02:26Can we read it?
00:02:28No.
00:02:29It is known that Lady Violet Bridgerton praises love matches above all else, but
00:02:36does love excuse why several of her children have had rather rushed engagements? Perhaps
00:02:42the family confuses love with lust.
00:02:47And then there is the fact that there are so very many Bridgerton children. Has one ever
00:02:52wondered why so many? This author certainly has. Perhaps because a few of them may be of
00:02:59dubious parentage. But lies she writes. Whistledown is here. See, we already have
00:03:06it, Mrs. Wilson. Another Whistledown. Gregory, let me see it. Very well. Oh, thank goodness.
00:03:17Dearest gentle reader. It seems someone has been impersonating me. And so I can no longer
00:03:30sit idly by. This author is not interested in judging what one does out of desperation. But
00:03:41gossip as I might, I always tell the truth. And I cannot tolerate a lie.
00:03:52Cressida Cowper, this author, is not. If she were me, surely she would have reported on
00:04:00the great debt Lord Blackburn refused to repay to Lord Samson this week. Or the fact that
00:04:08Mrs. Newham unceremoniously dismissed her maid yesterday for the simple act of asking for
00:04:14a day off. And I will not even mention the small cruelties Mr. Davidson's wife endures daily.
00:04:24Except, I suppose, I just did. I say this all to remind you that this author, the true Lady
00:04:32Whistledown, is always paying attention. Something that I believe Miss Cowper should try to do
00:04:39a little more. You'll stay in here until Aunt Joanna arrives to collect you. Until then,
00:04:47you are not to leave this room.
00:05:04Yours truly, Lady Whistledown.
00:05:08?
00:05:16?
00:05:20?
00:05:21?
00:05:48It's a good thing Miss Carper's Whistledown Spectacle
00:05:51has been settled so now everyone can be focused on our upcoming nuptials and when every eye
00:05:57in the ton focused on you How many eyes exactly do you think there are
00:06:04in the ton? Double the amount of people I would imagine
00:06:11Do you know since Penelope got engaged Prudence has not called me a blinkered or a dunderhead
00:06:16or an answer I'm full once I'm starting to think I'm clever you are my love yeah I am
00:06:23saying there's something wrong with her it is true whenever I try to grasp her hand these
00:06:30days she does not swat it away with no the same gusto the most elaborate wedding breakfast
00:06:35Mayfair has yet to see it will be our triumph Penelope are you not excited? Excuse me Lord
00:06:47Are you a devotee of Whistledown again? It is a particularly good issue if that's I should read it then
00:06:53I could use a distraction
00:06:54Good day Good day Penelope Ah I will be reading this over there
00:07:05Pen you have done it Cressida is entirely discredited I never thought I would say this but I'm so glad
00:07:11to see you
00:07:11French again Oh Louise he knows Oh and he followed me last night
00:07:17How is his condition? He's furious I'm going to be married this week if he will still have me but
00:07:24I doubt you leave and speak to me
00:07:28I know he said I don't know what to do I cannot help you with this Pen I am so
00:07:34grateful for everything you have done for me but already I feel in the middle between you and Colin
00:07:39Perhaps I have been
00:07:39Perhaps I always have been
00:07:40That is not true Did meet Colin first
00:07:43Well that was a silly infatuation then which turned into a real friendship her time but
00:07:50You were the truest friend I have ever known Elle
00:07:53It was torture not being by your side this season
00:07:57I cannot bear the thought of losing you completely
00:08:01Neither of you
00:08:08I understand
00:08:10Does my mess with Colin not yours forgive me?
00:08:14I wish you luck
00:08:28You are rather lucky Lady Whistledown decided to publish when she did
00:08:34The gall of that cowper chit
00:08:36Crisis averted no doubt
00:08:38Though now I must avert the next one
00:08:42Do you think it possible for me to acquire an audience with the Queen this week?
00:08:45Hmm
00:08:47I fear her spirits are low
00:08:49Hmm
00:08:50I cannot recommend that you speak with Her Majesty about Francesca and Lord Kilmartin just now
00:08:55She is not pleased that Whistledown has eluded her once more
00:09:00Perhaps Francesca was right
00:09:01I should have approached her at the ball when we had the chance
00:09:06You have done nothing wrong
00:09:10We are always trying with all our might
00:09:13But the weight of the world cannot always be upon our shoulders
00:09:18You do not sound like yourself
00:09:25Forgive me
00:09:27Perhaps I can convince Her Majesty somehow
00:09:30That is not necessary
00:09:32You know something you and your brother have in common is a very kind urge to constantly help others
00:09:42But I hope you know that my care for you is not contingent on your aid
00:09:47I am here for you, Agatha
00:09:50Always
00:09:52Even when there are no unmarried children left to help
00:09:57Thank you, Violet
00:09:59That means a great deal to me
00:10:01Hmm
00:10:14How long have you known?
00:10:19I saw you leaving a private room with Penelope last night, shortly before I found her
00:10:25I had been trying to make her tell you
00:10:27You should have told me yourself
00:10:28And you should have told me you were in love with my best friend before you tripped into the drawing
00:10:32room engaged
00:10:34I did not know until last year
00:10:39And I was too broken hearted to speak of it
00:10:42I have been trying to make her tell you
00:10:46And then I thought
00:10:50Why break your heart as well?
00:10:54Her sheet has been fair this year
00:10:57Certainly sharp and biting
00:10:58But she has not written anything withering about anyone
00:11:01Or if she has, they have deserved it
00:11:03Are you forgetting what she wrote about me at the start of the season?
00:11:08Of course, that was not so good
00:11:11Have you already forgiven her?
00:11:13I want to
00:11:17Do you think you can?
00:11:22I think you should consider yourself
00:11:25Uncommonly lucky
00:11:27You have never been in love
00:11:47Here we are
00:11:51In here for the wedding breakfast
00:11:55Do you think it's too small?
00:11:57How many people are you inviting?
00:11:59Well, let me show you how we'll lay it out
00:12:02Oh
00:12:07Colin
00:12:09Will you at least look at me?
00:12:12My mother was curious about our not seeing each other recently
00:12:15And I did not want to arouse suspicions
00:12:18Are you going to call off the wedding?
00:12:21I am a man of honour
00:12:24And we were
00:12:27intimate
00:12:27We have to
00:12:29Perhaps that was another part of your planned entrapment
00:12:32I do not mean to entrap you Colin
00:12:34I love you
00:12:37What will this marriage be?
00:12:39That depends
00:12:41I noticed there was no whistle down this morning
00:12:45Are you going to stop publishing?
00:12:49I...
00:12:51Do you not know?
00:12:59Let us get through this wedding
00:13:00And then we will decide what this marriage will be
00:13:06And we shall have a quartet over here
00:13:08Or perhaps even a quintet
00:13:16I shall see if our young people require refreshments for this rather long tour
00:13:29It is good to see Mr Bridgerton here today
00:13:32Yes
00:13:35An engaged couple should want to spend time together before their wedding, should they not?
00:13:40I assure you, Lady Bridgerton, I do not know the reason
00:13:42I do not either
00:13:52Sir, you had a caller while you were out
00:13:55She left a note
00:13:57Thank you
00:14:01Please, let me explain
00:14:03Tilly
00:14:12I had meant to
00:14:15Speak to you about my situation with Paul first privately
00:14:18But then we were caught
00:14:20As it were
00:14:23What is the situation exactly?
00:14:27Mr Suarez and I
00:14:29Have a relationship not unlike the one I share with you
00:14:33Friendly
00:14:34Casual
00:14:35Occasionally intimate
00:14:39And Mr Suarez also likes to be intimate with men
00:14:46He thought perhaps the two of you shared a
00:14:50Moment?
00:14:53I have known men like Mr Suarez
00:14:56But I myself have never felt tempted
00:15:01Before
00:15:02Are you tempted by every woman you meet?
00:15:05I am not
00:15:08This world of ours, as far as we know it, spans thousands of miles
00:15:12Encompassing however many millions of people
00:15:14And yet we are all bred to believe
00:15:16That the only persons worth conversing with
00:15:18Are the thousand or so who inhabit a few square miles around Grosvenor Square
00:15:25We preen and we promenade
00:15:27We leave calling cards and we marry
00:15:31We play by all the rules
00:15:34And rarely do we question the meaning of any of it for a moment
00:15:41There is so much in society that is unnatural
00:15:45But a feeling between two people
00:15:49Whatever their sex
00:15:51Is the most natural thing in the world
00:15:56If you did not feel anything with Mr Suarez
00:15:59Let us, you and I
00:16:00Continue on our own
00:16:07But you should know
00:16:10My staff are very discreet
00:16:24Yes
00:16:31Mum?
00:16:33Lord Anderson has come to call
00:16:37Oh, um
00:16:48Very well
00:16:58Lady Bridgerton
00:17:02It is good to see you
00:17:03You as well, Lord Anderson
00:17:07It has been some time
00:17:08Too much time
00:17:11Would you like some cake? Tea?
00:17:14Oh, I would be delighted
00:17:35How are you?
00:17:36Well, I am
00:17:37Well, um
00:17:39Francesca is keeping her distance from me at the moment
00:17:42Did I tell you that she and Lord Kilmartin have been secretly engaged?
00:17:45I did not hear
00:17:47Congratulations
00:17:47Thank you
00:17:49Though we are waiting on the blessing of the Queen before announcing it
00:17:52It's a wait that made me rather lengthy, unfortunately
00:17:56You know, Aristotle says
00:17:58Patience is bitter
00:17:59But its fruit
00:18:00Is sweet
00:18:09Lady Bridgerton
00:18:11Once Francesca and Lord Kilmartin's affairs are in order
00:18:15Do you think perhaps the two of us could explore something together?
00:18:28I am not uninterested in exploration
00:18:32But I will not know if I am ready for that until after the affairs are in order
00:18:40Especially because I am not the only one whose affairs need ordering
00:18:58We received a letter back from Aunt Joanna
00:19:00She will have left today to come and fetch you
00:19:03I imagine she'll be here in a week or two
00:19:05Mama, please
00:19:07You must put an end to this
00:19:10There is nothing I can do
00:19:13Your father has threatened to send me to the countryside as well
00:19:16If I intervene
00:19:17If I too am banished, there is no hope of ever bringing you back to society
00:19:22But we did this together
00:19:23I did tell you to avoid that Bridgerton girl
00:19:28Had you listened, I doubt any of this would have occurred
00:19:31Why did we have to write such cruel things about the Bridgerton's Mama?
00:19:35Could we not have picked another family?
00:19:38The Bridgerton's so often feature in Whistledown that it would have been strange not to mention them
00:19:45It certainly didn't hurt bringing them down a peg
00:19:50Why is that your concern now?
00:19:53Perhaps I was wrong to turn on Eloise
00:20:02She is the one person who has ever shown me true friendship
00:20:06And where is she to comfort you now?
00:20:11Have I not raised you to know that in this world it is every person for themselves?
00:20:19Especially amongst women
00:20:22Yes, you have
00:20:26You would be wise not to forget it
00:20:43I realise it is tradition to drink
00:20:45But I believe if the stag gets too drunk the night before its wedding
00:20:48It runs the risk of being shut
00:20:50Then keep up with me so there might be other slower targets
00:20:53I do not think any of us can keep up with you tonight
00:20:59I thought you were not much of a drinker, Lord Kilmartin
00:21:01No, I am not
00:21:03But in my defence, your mother does not like me
00:21:06Our mother does not not like you
00:21:08I shall handle this
00:21:09Lord Kilmartin, our mother adores you
00:21:15But our mother also has an obsession with great love stories
00:21:18What should he do? Give the man some practical advice?
00:21:21Frankly, you might consider doing something foolish
00:21:25Something bold
00:21:26Declare yourself
00:21:27Throw rocks, throw rocks at Francesca's window tonight
00:21:32Your problem is that you are trying much too hard to be respectful
00:21:36Bold
00:21:38Well, if I am to be bold
00:21:44I shall need some time to think about it
00:21:49I think perhaps I shall go home as well
00:21:51It is strange to be drinking in another men's club
00:21:54No!
00:21:55Mrs Mondric and I have had a social calendar full this week
00:21:57I am spent
00:21:59I shall see you tomorrow, bright and early
00:22:04Perhaps that is our cue
00:22:07Here you go
00:22:08I could use a moment on my own
00:22:12Is everything well?
00:22:14Is everything well with you?
00:22:17Hmm?
00:22:39I had hoped you might come by
00:22:41The night before your wedding
00:22:44Genevieve Collin found out
00:22:46Oh dear
00:22:53He does not know about your involvement
00:22:57Well that is good
00:22:59But how are you?
00:23:02I am relieved
00:23:04In a way
00:23:06It has been painful carrying this secret
00:23:09But he hates me for it
00:23:11And he has every right to
00:23:15I am about to be married to the man I love
00:23:17And
00:23:20I do not know that I am worthy of him
00:23:23You have made some ill-considered choices in your time
00:23:28You are a girl
00:23:30Who did not know her own power
00:23:33But does that justify it?
00:23:35No
00:23:36There is no going back to the past
00:23:38No
00:23:39All one can do
00:23:41Is be true to one's choices
00:23:43And look forward
00:23:50Will you keep publishing?
00:23:54I have held back this week
00:23:56For Colin's sake
00:23:58But I tried
00:23:59Giving it up before we found out
00:24:01And
00:24:03I felt like I was losing a part of myself
00:24:06There is no such thing as true love
00:24:10Without first embracing your true self
00:24:16Happy wedding eve
00:24:18Happy wedding eve
00:24:22Oh
00:24:23Oh
00:24:24Oh
00:24:24Oh
00:24:24Oh
00:24:25Oh
00:24:25Oh
00:24:26Oh
00:24:26Oh
00:24:27Oh
00:24:27Oh
00:24:28Oh
00:24:34Oh
00:25:10What are you doing out here?
00:25:11I...
00:25:12No, in fact, I did not answer that.
00:25:14It is clear I found you in the midst of some secret dealings.
00:25:18I do not wish to know.
00:25:20And what secret dealings have I found you in the midst of?
00:25:23All alone the night before our wedding?
00:25:26What right do you have to ask me that?
00:25:28After all the secrets you have kept,
00:25:30all of the things you have written over the years,
00:25:32all of the damage you have done?
00:25:35You're right.
00:25:38I realise how much damage I have done,
00:25:40and I am so, so sorry for it.
00:25:42What were you thinking?
00:25:44When you wrote about Eloise?
00:25:45I was trying to protect her.
00:25:47I realise now how misguided I was.
00:25:49And when you wrote about Miss Thompson?
00:25:50What?
00:25:51Exposing her as you did ruining her.
00:25:53I thought I was protecting you.
00:25:54Then you should have told me to my face.
00:25:56I know.
00:25:57Or do you not respect me enough?
00:25:59It is clear you do not,
00:26:01after what you have written about me this year,
00:26:03that I hardly know myself.
00:26:06What were you thinking then?
00:26:07I was thinking...
00:26:09that I simply wanted the Colin I know back.
00:26:12Not this stoic man you returned as,
00:26:14acting as if you care for no one and need nothing.
00:26:19It's you.
00:26:21Kind and feeling, occasionally excitable,
00:26:24good-hearted man who I love.
00:26:26I should have told you myself there are so many things.
00:26:29I should have done myself,
00:26:30and now with the confidence,
00:26:31you've helped me find this year I'm finally able to.
00:26:36So then you do not need Whistledown any more.
00:26:40I do not need to hide behind Whistledown any more,
00:26:42but I am not saying there is not any value in it.
00:26:47Do you know what is most humiliating?
00:26:49I let you talk so much about my journal
00:26:52as if I were to be this great writer,
00:26:55when all this time,
00:26:56you have been a published writer,
00:26:59renowned across Mayfair.
00:27:01Colin, I meant everything I said about your writing.
00:27:03You're putting yourself in danger being out here tonight,
00:27:05and you've been putting yourself in danger
00:27:07living this double life all along.
00:27:08I have been careful.
00:27:09You have been foolish.
00:27:10Colin, I can take care of myself.
00:27:12Then what good am I to you?
00:27:13Colin, I love you.
00:27:18I love you.
00:27:19I love you.
00:27:43Stay still.
00:28:06I shall see you tomorrow.
00:28:08I shall see you tomorrow.
00:28:12I shall see you tomorrow.
00:28:43Oh, there you are.
00:28:44We were debating going to bed.
00:28:46It's just very late, Colin.
00:28:47Kate.
00:28:49Where have you been?
00:28:53What am I?
00:28:54Chopped liver?
00:28:57What are you both doing here?
00:28:59I did not think I would see you until tomorrow.
00:29:00Your mother called us in early.
00:29:03I thought you might want some marital advice.
00:29:05She really doesn't have everything.
00:29:18What is going on with you and Penelope?
00:29:21All is well between us.
00:29:22The smell of fermented fruit emanating from your person
00:29:25would indicate otherwise.
00:29:26It was celebratory.
00:29:28Two glasses of celebratory,
00:29:29one whole bottle is a cry for help.
00:29:31I do not wish to unburden myself to you two
00:29:34with your perfect marriage.
00:29:35Oh, you think our marriage is perfect?
00:29:37Is it not?
00:29:40We are more than happy now.
00:29:42But it took us time to get here.
00:29:44Time to get down the aisle, certainly.
00:29:47You and Penelope have been close for years.
00:29:50Well, yes, but I'm no longer sure I truly know her.
00:29:57What happened?
00:30:01It is not our business what happened.
00:30:04Every one of us has secrets
00:30:05or have made mistakes once or twice in our lives.
00:30:09Surely there is a reason Penelope
00:30:11has been so dear to you for so long.
00:30:15Does whatever new information you have learned
00:30:17truly negate all that?
00:30:21Then you cannot let one mistake
00:30:23define your entire relationship.
00:30:26Marriage takes hard work.
00:30:28But it is work that is worth it.
00:30:30Our marriage is not hard work.
00:30:32You are wearisome tonight.
00:30:36Or perhaps it is the hour.
00:30:42I will see you at the church tomorrow.
00:30:46Good night.
00:30:56I drank a whole bottle before my wedding,
00:30:59the second wedding.
00:31:01And it was deeply celebrated.
00:31:08Three raw eggs in the morning.
00:31:34It is not your footman's fault.
00:31:37I slipped in.
00:31:40The night you escaped,
00:31:43nearly escaped.
00:31:45I had no concept of what you were running from.
00:31:48I was ten years old.
00:31:50All I knew of the world outside our home
00:31:53was that it was dangerous for a young lady.
00:31:55And I thought if I could get you to stay a little longer,
00:31:59perhaps I could give myself time to prove myself to you.
00:32:02To our father, you mean?
00:32:04I mean to you, I've heard you make comments disparaging the girl you once were.
00:32:10But you were resolute even then.
00:32:13I mean, the simple act of dreaming to run away.
00:32:16You had something in you all along,
00:32:18a kind of courage I never dreamed of having.
00:32:22I have wished so many times that I had stood up to him.
00:32:26For you, for myself,
00:32:30you are not the only one
00:32:32who was made to feel that they had been found wanting.
00:32:41Why did you never tell me any of that before?
00:32:48Because I was not only in awe of you,
00:32:52I was afraid of you.
00:32:54The fearsome creature I created.
00:32:58Perhaps I have subconsciously taken notes from our father.
00:33:02You are nothing like him.
00:33:05Except the cane.
00:33:07Though yours is far more stylish.
00:33:09Do not come for my cane.
00:33:12I suppose you've got all the good joints in the family.
00:33:19I have been hard on you.
00:33:24At last my life is full of joy.
00:33:28And I've been afraid you would take it away from me.
00:33:32Any joy I am after,
00:33:35I deeply hope you are a large part of.
00:33:43I do need to speak to the footmen.
00:33:45They need to mind the visitors.
00:33:47I do need to speak to the footmen.
00:33:52Come.
00:33:53We have a wedding to attend.
00:34:10Are you ready for your dress?
00:34:13Yes, Father.
00:34:15You're going to be the most beautiful bride.
00:34:34What has happened here?
00:34:36Your Majesty.
00:34:37I turned my ankle chasing after a delivery boy.
00:34:40I see.
00:34:41And what did you discover?
00:34:43He told me...
00:34:45Well, he does not know who Whistledown is,
00:34:47but he says most of his buyers live in Mayfair.
00:34:50So he thinks...
00:34:52Well, Lady Whistledown must live there as well.
00:34:58We will look into it.
00:35:03Your Majesty.
00:35:06I have thought long and hard
00:35:09on the conundrum of finding your author
00:35:12and have drawn the conclusion
00:35:15that perhaps Lady Whistledown is not a lady at all.
00:35:22You see, Your Majesty,
00:35:24Lady Whistledown is a nom de plume
00:35:27which leads me to believe
00:35:30that she might be...
00:35:32...the man.
00:35:41Hostias and precious
00:35:46Divi Domine,
00:35:49Divi Domine
00:35:52...the man.
00:35:56The man.
00:35:57The man.
00:35:58The man.
00:35:58The man.
00:35:59The man.
00:36:01The man.
00:36:01Oh, that is Lady Baragon,
00:36:03whose luncheon, do not forget,
00:36:05we failed to attend.
00:36:06And now she'll want us to attend her next one even more.
00:36:09Mm-hmm.
00:36:32I love weddings.
00:36:36Ours was perfect.
00:36:52Here we go.
00:36:53Mm-hmm.
00:37:01Are you ready?
00:37:03Yes.
00:37:08Aw.
00:37:11Aw.
00:37:14Aw.
00:37:17Aw.
00:37:18Aw.
00:37:21Aw.
00:37:24Aw.
00:37:33Aw.
00:38:26Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God and this congregation
00:38:31to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:38:38Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife,
00:38:43to live together in the holy estate of matrimony?
00:38:47Wilt thou forsake all others, keeping thee only unto her,
00:38:51so long as ye both shall live?
00:38:55I, Colin Bridgerton, take thee, Penelope Featherington,
00:39:03to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold.
00:39:08I, Penelope Featherington, take thee, Colin Bridgerton,
00:39:15to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold.
00:39:20With this ring, I thee wed.
00:39:22With my body, I thee worship.
00:39:26And by the joining of hands, I now pronounce that they be man and wife together.
00:39:32In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
00:39:36Amen.
00:40:06Mama, you have outdone yourself.
00:40:09Do you like it?
00:40:10It's truly...
00:40:12magnificent.
00:40:14Congratulations, Penelope.
00:40:16Really? You do make... an exceptionally fine bride.
00:40:25Oh.
00:40:29Would you like to say how you really feel now?
00:40:32That is how I really feel.
00:40:52It was the most beautiful wedding.
00:40:54Thank you, Lysyn.
00:40:55And Penelope looked stunning.
00:40:57Why do you have to do that?
00:40:58This is...
00:41:00Quite a wedding breakfast.
00:41:01Marcus and I entered together, but were quickly separated by the sheer volume of guests.
00:41:08Are you feeling in better spirits?
00:41:11I am.
00:41:13Making peace is a relief.
00:41:19Perhaps you should try it.
00:41:21That is my intention.
00:41:31Is all well with you?
00:41:35I saw you crying at the ceremony.
00:41:38Simply tears at losing another friend to marriage.
00:41:42Maybe it was dust.
00:41:43Yes.
00:41:46Which brother or sister do you like the best?
00:41:49Gregory, clearly.
00:41:51Oh.
00:41:51Fair enough.
00:41:53But I know there is room enough in your heart for the rest of us.
00:41:59Love is not finite, Eloise.
00:42:05The friendship you have with Penelope is a lucky thing.
00:42:09As is the one you have with Colin.
00:42:15There's a lot of dust in here too.
00:42:23Excuse me.
00:42:24I'm going to find some champagne.
00:42:36Do you want coffee?
00:43:00Your tea, Miss.
00:43:02I need your help.
00:43:15We shall certainly try to be there.
00:43:17Yes, of course. Enjoy the party.
00:43:24Mr. and Mrs. Mondridge?
00:43:26Yes.
00:43:33When was your last letter from Marina?
00:43:35There was one waiting when we returned.
00:43:36She writes that her new husband is not only a reader,
00:43:41but has cultivated in her a love for the outdoors.
00:43:45Your sister?
00:43:46Shocking, I know.
00:43:47She has even been riding with him.
00:43:49I am so envious.
00:43:52You cannot imagine how charming our town in India is.
00:43:56It has been so long since I have ridden there.
00:43:59I should like to see it.
00:44:05In fact, I should like to see it soon.
00:44:08Before our child come.
00:44:09Now?
00:44:09Mm.
00:44:11Of course I want to go over with you one day.
00:44:14But the journey takes months.
00:44:16Yeah, and if we go now,
00:44:17we will have time to prepare for the birthday.
00:44:22Look, I know how much you love our life, dear.
00:44:25You have made yourself completely a part of our family.
00:44:28But I cannot help but feel that something is missing.
00:44:32What about your mother?
00:44:34She would be missing the birth of her grandchild.
00:44:37Our child will always be a Bridgerton.
00:44:43But I should like them to know that they are a Sharma as well.
00:44:47You know their history.
00:44:49And it is important for me to know it so that we can share that history with our child together.
00:44:55Mother will understand that.
00:44:57And we will return.
00:45:02Please do not make me love you more.
00:45:03I do not think I can bear it.
00:45:06Absolutely love you.
00:45:08My name isκαundrum.
00:45:18Oh.
00:45:19Vanellife.
00:45:20You enjoying yourself?
00:45:22Very much.
00:45:23Though it is all a little overwhelming.
00:45:26Well, weddings are never for the bride and groom.
00:45:29Even when things are well between the couple.
00:45:34thank you for allowing me to work it out for myself well this wedding couldn't plan itself
00:45:41i've not had time to meddle
00:45:47whatever it is i know you won't resolve it the important part is that you're married now
00:46:10could we
00:46:15could we get away from here i have spent so long clinging to walls like this
00:46:19i do not wish to do that any longer when you propose we go
00:46:26perhaps
00:46:28to the center
00:46:32i do not think i have it in me to greet any more guests
00:46:36then perhaps we could dance
00:46:39it is a wedding breakfast the sun is still out
00:46:42i realize that but i should like to dance with my husband in the light of day
00:46:48we can dance in a church we're not here
00:46:54very well
00:47:19thank you
00:47:57Would you like to dance?
00:47:59Lord Kilmartin, I do not mean it.
00:48:03Why not?
00:48:05I did not think you were a dancer.
00:48:08Perhaps not.
00:48:09But perhaps we should both be more bold in declaring ourselves.
00:48:38Lord Kilmartin, thank you so much for having me.
00:48:42Lord Anderson, I am glad you have joined us.
00:48:47And with your sister?
00:48:49Yes, all our affairs in order.
00:48:53And you?
00:48:56I do believe my affairs are very nearly coming together as well.
00:49:07He oversteps.
00:49:08Oh, I think they move quite beautifully.
00:49:10No, not them.
00:49:13Our family is happy and together.
00:49:17Do not take that for granted.
00:49:19No, not them.
00:49:21No, not them.
00:49:41No, not them.
00:49:49Her Majesty, the Queen.
00:50:03Lady Featherington.
00:50:06Your Majesty.
00:50:10Everyone who is not a Bridgerton may go.
00:50:19Now!
00:50:31Penelope.
00:50:33You are a Bridgerton now.
00:50:43Someone in this room has something to hide.
00:50:47And I shall not leave until they come forward and reveal themselves.
00:50:59The longer you delay, the greater my irritation.
00:51:04Step forward.
00:51:07Confess.
00:51:14Yes.
00:51:15It is I.
00:51:17I bear the secret.
00:51:21You?
00:51:22Yes.
00:51:24I am engaged to Lord Kilmartin.
00:51:27I have been humbled by your Majesty's interest in my prospects, perhaps so much so that I have not been
00:51:32bold enough in declaring myself, but I love Lord Kilmartin.
00:51:37And I plan to marry him.
00:51:41With your Majesty's blessing, of course.
00:51:47That is no great mystery, Miss Francesca.
00:51:50Your romantic sensibilities have been obvious for some time.
00:51:55You do not need my blessing to marry.
00:51:59But that is not why I am here.
00:52:04I speak of Whistledown.
00:52:06I know she is in this room.
00:52:10I was close last year.
00:52:13Tantalizingly so.
00:52:15And now, only when the Kalpa girl publishes lies about this very family, suddenly Whistledown rushes to print.
00:52:25Surely she suspected what Miss Kalpa intended to publish.
00:52:28That is what roused her from her hiding place.
00:52:31And why?
00:52:33Clearly because she is one of you.
00:52:36Your Majesty.
00:52:41I assure you, if such a thing were happening in my home, I would know of it.
00:52:45And I would have put a stop to it a long time ago.
00:52:58Very well.
00:53:01Hold your tongue another night.
00:53:06I shall loosen it soon enough.
00:53:28I did not know if it would help or hurt your family if I were to speak.
00:53:31I am glad you stayed silent.
00:53:32But surely this is a signal of the right path forward.
00:53:36That it is time for you to give up your Colin.
00:53:39Yes?
00:53:40Colin, I...
00:53:40She will find you, eventually.
00:53:43And as long as you are Whistledown, forever this lie will hang over all of us.
00:53:49Do you know what it is like?
00:53:51To have nowhere in the world you can truly be yourself?
00:53:54You cannot possibly know because you are not a woman.
00:53:58You have the choice to be any kind of person you wish to be.
00:54:01While the only choice women have is to conceal the parts of ourselves the world will not accept.
00:54:07I am Whistledown.
00:54:09I will not change that.
00:54:13I cannot accept that.
00:54:17Colin, it is our wedding night.
00:54:23I shall sleep on the sofa tonight.
00:54:27I will find our carriage.
00:54:42It will be alright.
00:54:44It will.
00:54:46It will.
00:54:56It will.
00:55:01It will.
00:55:06Mr. Bridgerton.
00:55:07Ha-ha.
00:55:09Benedict.
00:55:15It is pleasant to see you again.
00:55:17And to see both of you.
00:55:20I've been thinking about your offer.
00:55:23And?
00:55:27Well...
00:55:41I'm...
00:55:43I'm...
00:56:06I'm...
00:56:07I'm...
00:56:40Evening, Mum.
00:56:43Are you in needed directions?
00:56:45No, I'm here for my payment.
00:56:47Put the whistle down that was printed here last week.
00:56:49The one dropped off from the Cowper House.
00:56:52No whistle downs were printed here last week.
00:56:54All the weeks before that.
00:56:55Fine.
00:56:57I've already tried three other printers.
00:56:59Surely there cannot be so many more.
00:57:02You're not her, though, are you?
00:57:05I've always wanted to meet her.
00:57:07My boss at the last place that I worked used to print for her.
00:57:10Said that she was a redhead, though.
00:57:14Oh.
00:57:15What else did he tell you?
00:57:37Yeah.
00:57:51Oh.
00:57:52Oh.
00:57:54Oh.
