01:38I don't know.
02:00I don't know if I'm serious 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 i will be kept informed as to the
02:36success
02:36of your conjugal endeavors i would never dream of concealing the truth of such important matters
02:42your grace whistle down has just arrived well you should is something wrong we must pack
02:50straight away yes your grace what has happened my brother seems to have been embroiled in scandal

03:02matter separate bedrooms may be tolerated separate households will not be suffered
03:07i shall not let you out of my sight until we know whether you are with child
03:13please request that his grace prepare his largest carriage i shall require my space
03:35miss marina thompson's recent fall from grace continues to echo through every drawing room
03:41in town days after it was revealed her engagement to colin bridgerton was nothing more than a sham
03:57of course a lady's disgrace does not merely tarnish her own name like the tars of the thames it also
04:05leaves a horrid smear on anyone nearby hold still my chérie
04:13this scandal could very well tarnish my debut mama perhaps we should delay my coming out altogether a few years
04:19oh hush child all will be well just keep smiling can a smile be enough to save the featheringtons
04:24penelope and her sisters did nothing wrong but their reputation is destroyed you should be worrying about your own
04:29family's fortunes at present we are in just as perilous position lovely day is it not lady richmond
04:37is this whistle down i certainly never want to cross the woman a word as good as gospel yes
04:45but perhaps if she can destroy her reputation she can restore one too
04:52oh
04:55what a debut don't you will be
04:59while there is no parasol in the world strong enough to shelter a ruined woman
05:04the fallen miss thompson can only hope she shall find a refuge somewhere i'm sorry my lady but we
05:11are full this is an emergency the young lady's child will have nowhere else to go must make exceptions
05:17on occasion they should be able to procure room if one were to make a sizable donation but this is
05:23supposed to be a charitable organization even charity requires funds of which you must have considerable
05:29amounts i presume
05:49we've arrived
05:56there is no need to act the jailer i shall not discover i'm with child within the next hour shall
06:02i
06:06miss thompson must be in agonies over this lies why can i not visit her colin listen to me brother
06:11that the ton devours every bit of whistle downs on d is the only thing keeping this family from shame
06:15because of her column no one believes you are the father of miss thompson's child
06:18but if you were to go near her then they will presume you're responsible for her ruin and all
06:22your sisters will pay the price for your notoriety is this what you desire well of course not but
06:27evening everyone do it what are you doing here dav should you not be frolicking in newlywed bliss i
06:32came as swiftly as our courage would allow when i heard the news in the middle of your honeymoon
06:36these things must surely be cursing the bridgetown name for this where is he anyhow he went to set
06:41up pastings house we have all things in order sister we do not require your assistance oh well
06:46that is simply not true anthony and you know it daphne may be the answer to all of our problems
06:50oh once the ton say that we still have the favor of the duke and the duchess then
06:53the 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
07:03oh 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 to not have married
07:57a stranger she was not a stranger she was brother whistledown knew her better than you and whistledown
08:02knows everyone's secrets and you are lucky to have learnt miss thompson's now instead of after your wedding day
08:13i know you must think me a fool but my heart pays no heed to mere logic when i think
08:19of her
08:19her i only want to be near her to be with 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 leander also
08:45lost 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 perhaps i can arrange a rendezvous chaperoned obviously
09:07i would appreciate that you will see my passions are not in vain
09:21i always were a fast learner friend but i should probably conserve my energies for my exhibitions
09:26instead of spending them on your troubles are you about to feed to me surely that will not help
09:31with your exhibitions i've not seen you this incense since you handed the keys to your duty
09:36i will not speak on my duty fair enough i presume you won't speak of what happened in your honeymoon
09:43either nothing happened on my honeymoon i cannot imagine your wife feeling particularly excited about
09:50that i suggest you'd not try to imagine anything to do with my wife's feelings
09:54or action for that matter
09:58it follows no reason or sense does it what marriage
10:03there is not a bloody thing you can do about it i took a vow
10:08see what i mean fast learner indeed
10:41it's not a bloody thing
10:42the way? I've already seen you. The queen is holding a luncheon this week. We will need to
10:56attend with my brother to signal our support. Where have you been all night? I did not think
11:04you concerned about my whereabouts. Is this truly what our marriage will be for the future?
11:10You are all night doing God knows what with God knows whom. With whom? You ruined me not three
11:17weeks since we were wed. It already imagined me disloyal. Is it such a wild imagining? We
11:22both know your reputation, your grace. It is clear that you find there is nothing left
11:26in our marriage? Nothing left. Is this what I said? Is it what you believe?
11:45Is it? I have a hand are marked under theketions here in the hands of us where we are in
11:58the
11:58PATR visibility while the discussions were met in ventilator and the tension in your
11:58health. Nothing left in cleaningfleet. It is tabular. It is lazy anyway. You are
11:58potem. TERRY K considerations ask you about that. You are removed,альistically?
11:59WHAT I want you to trust. Say that. That is to me. You areHa. I vous阻 Olhae. You areumbled hurt.
12:35Oh, my God.
12:41Well, shall we go into the bedroom and finish what we started?
12:59What is to become of us? Simon!
13:02If you are a child, then I shall stay and do my duty to support you, boss.
13:05And if I am not?
13:06Then we shall remain married.
13:08In name only.
13:09You 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.
13:23Do you understand me?
13:25That we no longer trust each other?
13:28Yes, Your Grace.
13:29I understand that quite well.
13:31No, no.
13:35No.
13:42No.
13:52No.
13:59No.
14:00No.
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 could.
21:45That should teach them.
21:47Teach them what, Miss Calgar?
21:51Judging not, lest we too be judged.
22:15Something troubles you.
22:20I know you are a grown woman now, but I am still your mother,
22:23and you can come to me when you need advice.
22:26Marriage has its joys, but it also brings with it its special trials.
22:31In that, you are correct.
22:34My marriage is far from perfect.
22:36Then share your thoughts. Perhaps I can offer my wisdom.
22:41Or perhaps you will send me off with more vague metaphors and trite remarks.
22:46Darling, I am merely trying to be of help.
22:50Do you know what might have truly helped matters?
22:52If your motherly advice had actually prepared me to wed.
22:57Whatever do you mean?
22:58I mean, Mama, that you sent me out into the world no better than a fool.
23:03You taught me how to play-pretend, but nothing of the realities of married life.
23:10Of marital relations.
23:15If you had informed me about the things that were truly important,
23:18if I'd have known the truth, then perhaps I...
23:26Daphne.
23:33It is the heat.
23:35The Duchess is quite overcome.
23:46We were ridiculed by all today.
23:49Treated as though we were worth it, and it's all your fault.
23:51How could I have been at fault?
23:53I was not even there.
23:54Well, if it were not for your habit,
23:56we would have been able to rid ourselves of Miss Thompson
23:58the moment we learned of her condition.
24:01None of this would have happened.
24:03Milady.
24:05The Duchess of Hastings.
24:06She is here.
24:19I'm so glad you thought to visit us, Your Grace.
24:21I fear your mother was rather heated at the luncheon.
24:24But, of course, if you've come to offer an explanation...
24:28I require a word with Miss Thompson.
24:31Hello.
24:38For what it is worth, I am sorry.
24:40Your brother is a sweet boy.
24:41You do not need to.
24:44I came here to apologise to you.
24:47To 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.
25:04But 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?
25:37Whatever 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 be the one to choose your future?
26:04When he clearly cares not for the outcome.
26:07He's at fault here.
26:11Perhaps I can make him come back.
26:13And take responsibility for you and his child.
26:19Why should you be left all alone to bear the punishment for his crime?
26:24You truly think you can do this?
26:27I assure you, Miss Thompson.
26:30I'm quite capable of doing more than you think.
26:51I have defeated the best, and I'm confident I shall continue to do so.
26:56There is an appetite for my exhibitions, but they are expensive, which is why.
27:01I'm not here to invest.
27:03I have a more lucrative proposition in mind.
27:06Say, for you and I to come to some arrangement as to the outcome of your next fight?
27:13I'm sorry to have taken your time, my lord, but I think you would be wise to leave.
27:19And you'd be wise to listen.
27:21Would you rather stake your fortunes on the outcome of a business scheme, which may very well fail, or back
27:26the sure thing?
27:28You agree to throw your next match, and I'll make such a wager on your opponent that even half my
27:34winnings will set you and your family up for life.
27:37My honor is not for sale.
27:54There's a reason your back is a dwindling, Mr. Mondridge.
27:58You're a performer, a mere entertainment.
28:01We are happy to trade wages on the outcome of your fists, but no gentleman will ever see you as
28:08a respectable man of business.
28:11I know.
28:12You have a fighting spirit.
28:14Passed down by your father, no doubt.
28:17He was a soldier, yeah?
28:19Managed to flee the colonies after serving in Dunmore's regiment.
28:25Do you think he sought his freedom, or for his future son to become some exhausted fighter stumbling into the
28:32ring to put food on the table for his family?
28:36Do not dare speak of my family.
28:39Of course.
28:40I apologize.
28:45I only mean to say I'm doing this for my family, too.
28:49Look, one simple arrangement, and both our problems will be solved.
28:58I merely ask that you have a think on it, at the very least.
29:20The ton has been desperate for you since you returned.
29:22We've been drowning in calling cards.
29:24Lady Danbury requires your attendance at her party on Thursday.
29:27Oh, a collection of married ladies.
29:30I can only imagine the questions they will have for me.
29:32I shall inform her footmen that you are not feeling well from the trouble.
29:35Your Grace.
29:36Your Grace.
29:40Do you suppose the general's wife will be in attendance at Lady Danbury's soiree?
29:45Mrs. Langham?
29:46I heard she enjoys society.
29:48Then send word back.
29:49I would love to attend.
30:26Your Grace.
30:29Welcome to my den of iniquity.
30:42I believe you already know Lady Trowbridge, Your Grace, but have you met Lucy Granville?
30:48And this is Kitty Langham.
30:50The general's wife.
30:52Yes.
30:53Well, lovely to meet you all.
30:56Well, do not just stare.
30:58Keep 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.
31:13Have 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 sting 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.
32:01If you're not avoiding my company, then you won't mind if I join you for a drink?
32:05Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:39I should 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 has been two years old.
32:55Hmm.
32:55Well, then I'm in luck, am I not?
33:05Seems 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.
33:33It is quite the ideal situation.
33:34To live a separate life to one's husband, I am afforded all the freedoms of marriage
33:38while 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.
33:49But the Duchess is still in the first bloom of marriage.
33:54Yes.
33:55The famous love match.
33:58Pay me no heed.
34:00The Duke's company, I am sure, is anything but a burden to you.
34:04I can't tell you where to write.
34:06My husband.
34:08Perhaps 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.
34:29It'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?
36:25I wonder what would the former Viscount say?
36:38Is he a hero exactly?
36:40Oh, yeah.
36:41He's doing it.
36:44Oh, yeah.
36:45Oh, yeah.
36:45Oh, yeah.
36:48Oh, yeah.
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, let me.
38:18Let me, with four brothers, let me, with four brothers, let me, with four brothers, let me.
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.
39:27More than me.
39:29And so I made a vow that his efforts would be in vain.
39:35That the lion would die with me.
39:45So this is all because 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, some token of revenge against a man who no longer walks this
40:08earth.
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.
40:32I...
40:33Say it.
40:36Say 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 affection 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
41:06miserable together.
41:09Perfectly happy apart.
41:19Dearest reader, a question.
41:22Is anything more exhilarating than taking a gamble?
41:26For it is often the highest risk that carries the greatest reward.
41:38Yet, wager wrongly and you might find yourself left with nothing but regret.
41:47Ensure it is delivered to this dress.
41:50Yes, Your Grace.
41:51Of course, one can never know for sure whether a wager will make a fortune or ruin it.
41:58Unless one chooses a more secure pursuit.
42:04But as the season continues, the biggest gamblers have yet to truly show their hand.
42:11which 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
43:31where any number of our town could have borne witness.
43:33But the column that singled up Marina was different.
43:35It was personal.
43:36Your mama did not just help Marina hide her condition all on her own.
43:38Well, of course not. Every 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.
43:52In 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 should take the backstage so no one will see me.
44:16And Elle.
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...
44:59I'm sorry, I...
45:01Your help is greatly appreciated, but there is nothing more you can do.
45:05Marina...
45:06It is over.
45:07I have already accepted the fact.
45:10I thank you for your efforts.
45:18I have...
45:23I have...
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? Are the end of days upon us already?
45:42I may have been a trifle harsh with you.
45:46And...
45:46I'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...
46:21...dismal, most troubling ones I have 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.
46:41Eloise...
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.
47:42I am.
47:47I am.
47:49I am.
47:56I am.
47:58I am.
48:04I am.
48:16Sir Granville, Bridgerton, I would simply like to understand your situation, I'd just
48:33like to understand.
48:33It is simple.
48:36I am in love with Lord Weatherby.
48:38You're married.
48:39And our marriage affords my wife her freedoms and protections.
48:42It is a happier union than most of the people in this room have, I assure you.
48:47And what is the advantage for the young ladies Lord Weatherby is courting?
48:50Or do they also share this understanding?
48:52What about honour?
48:54Romance?
48:54What would you know of either?
48:57We live under constant threat of danger, Bridgerton.
48:59I risk my life every day for love.
49:05You have no idea what it is like to be in a room with someone you cannot live without.
49:11And yet still feel as though you are oceans apart, stealing your glances, disguising your touches.
49:16We cannot so much as smile at each other without first ensuring no one else is watching.
49:24It takes courage to 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, your majesty, it is clear as day.
49:56Lady Whistledown is someone who works closely with the members of the town, yet she is not a member herself.
50:01She is 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've hired a team of Bow Street runners to do a proper investigation.
50:19They will unmask Whistledown and she shall be made to pay for her impertinence.
50:24That noxious gossip rag will finally cease to exist.
50:29You want to silence her?
50:32There is still good she must do.
50:35Sure.
50:36Child, go.
50:45How long is this concert?
50:46Three hours.
50:47Four.
50:49Though I certainly have already heard enough.
50:52You are my most favourite brother, do you know that?
51:03Yes.
51:17Four hours....
51:20Two hours.
51:22One.
51:26Two hours.
51:26Four hours.
51:26Three hours.
51:28Four hours.
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.
53:28Will Micron.
53:37Is everything wrong, OK?
53:37Is everything wrong, Eloise?
53:44Oh?
53:44Are you kidding me?
53:46Come on.
53:50I, yeah, yeah, yeah!
55:53Marina!
55:55Marina!
55:56Marina!
55:57Mama!
55:59Mama, make haste!
56:01Marina!
56:02Marina!
56:03Marina, I'm here today.
56:04Marina!
56:04Marina!
56:05Marina!
56:15Marina!
56:17Marina!
56:32Marina, come on!
56:41I don't know.
57:08I don't know.
