TVTranscript
00:21We're with Anna, Artemis.
00:23I don't know why we have to do this.
00:26Because we like to eat.
00:27But we only pay pennies.
00:29Things that keep our family from dire straits.
00:31I do not enjoy washing the neighbourhood's laundry any more than you do, but being upset
00:35about it won't change our situation.
00:51Open the door, sweetheart.
00:52I have had an atrocious day, now I have to open the door.
00:56I'm sorry you've suffered so much.
00:58I fear you'll simply have to continue in your wretched state a bit longer.
01:02I will open the door, but do not be surprised if I lie in the floor and die.
01:06I will be many things if that happens, my sweet little Artemis.
01:09But above all, I will not be surprised.
01:13She has died far less than this in the past.
01:20Yes.
01:24Yes.
01:29Yes.
01:34Yes.
01:34yes.
01:35Yes.
01:36Yes.
01:44Yes.
01:45Yes.
01:55Daphne
01:56Daphne, you're home
01:58Was father wandering again?
02:00Until the letter came
02:01Then he went back up to his study
02:04Did he say whom the letter was from?
02:06You know father doesn't usually talk to me
02:09Well, once I cleaned the clutter he spread
02:11Sorted the laundry and started our meal
02:12Then I very much wish to talk with you
02:14About whatever you've learned today
02:16It's ever so interesting
02:17And terribly useful
02:19Cannot wait
02:20Thank you, Daphne
02:21Call Daphne
02:33You did say this might happen
02:34Yes, I did
02:36And what has brought you to such a horrible end this time?
02:39My suffering is too great
02:40No words can possibly describe it
02:42Is this because I could not buy you a suite
02:44From the confectionery shop
02:45That was tragic
02:46But not the reason you're expiring on the floor
02:48I didn't see my friend
02:50I watched for him
02:51And he didn't come
02:53He hasn't ever so long
02:54And it's deeply devastating
02:56Is this the friend I can't see?
02:58The friend you don't see
02:59Ah
03:01Do you think your friend would visit you again
03:03If we had bread pudding tonight?
03:06Bread pudding?
03:07I have a bit of stale bread
03:08And Mrs. Sanford gave me some cream
03:11I think we should have bread pudding tonight
03:12It's not even my birthday
03:14Bread pudding is quite possibly my favourite thing in all the world
03:18Of course, if you are dead on the floor
03:21You won't be able to have any
03:22I'm all better
03:23It is a miracle
03:26Thank you, thank you, thank you
03:29You're very welcome
03:30My darling little otteress
03:36How do you like the latest fashions?
03:38These are not the latest
03:39Mrs. Upton gave me these
03:41Because she received the most recent version
03:42But
03:43They are very nearly the latest
03:47That is gorgeous
03:48Yes, isn't it?
03:49I've added it to my list of dreams
03:51That must be quite the list by now
03:53Isn't that what dreaming is for?
03:55Believing in those things you feel you'll never have
03:57But want to continue hoping are possible
03:59Like
04:00Having money enough
04:01And happiness
04:02Falling in love
04:04I want you to have all of those things, Athena
04:07You must have dreams too
04:08Certainly, I do
04:11Artemis' spirit's not being dampened by the heaviness of life
04:14Daphne finding a friend who helps to feel seen and cared about
04:18Evander and Linus returning home to us whole
04:22Far from guarantee for too much shipment in the Navy during all time
04:26I should have done more to keep them home and safe
04:28There's nothing more you could have done
04:30I could have taken in more laundry
04:31Or reduced my portions at mealtimes
04:33I could have gone without fires in my room
04:34And it likely still would not have been enough
04:38I suppose that is my version of hoping for impossible things
04:43None of the hopes that you've mentioned have been a dream for yourself
04:47Seeing this family happy is dream enough for me
04:52Fetch Daphne and Artemis and take them to the kitchen
04:54I do not know how frustrating he might be this time
05:02Have you received a letter?
05:06We
05:08Have a very significant problem
05:11What has happened, Papa?
05:13Evander? Linus?
05:15Oh no, I haven't heard anything about your brothers
05:21I have, however, received the most befuddling letter
05:31You, my dear, have received an offer of marriage
05:35A what?
05:36An offer from an incredibly wealthy gentleman
05:40With an old and prestigious title
05:52Good heavens
05:53Yeah
05:57What I cannot fathom is why the Duke is settled on you
06:02They cannot even be remotely acquainted with our family
06:05The Duke?
06:07Of course, dear
06:08The Duke of Kilda
06:10The Duke of Kilda
06:11Has asked for my hand in marriage
06:14Quite specifically
06:18I do not believe a word of it
06:20After all, I do not know his grace
06:22Or any grace for that matter
06:33Mr. Lancaster
06:35I am requesting the hand of your eldest daughter in marriage
06:39I am prepared to settle upon your three remaining daughters
06:42Twenty thousand each for their dowries
06:44And
06:45Fifty thousand upon yourself for the sake of your sons
06:48The ceremony will take place October the 1st at the Fulston Chapel
06:53Please reply as to your intentions
06:56Yours
06:57Etc
07:00Kilda
07:02It is certainly not the most romantic nor flattering of proposals to be sure
07:07The ceremony will take place
07:09There is not the slightest acknowledgement
07:11The unforeseen offer might be declined
07:15This offer amounts to more than a hundred thousand pounds
07:28What is the Duke of Kilda like?
07:31Like?
07:33Well
07:35Couldn't say I have not met the current Duke
07:38What was his father like?
07:40No
07:43Dull as dishwater
07:44Dull as dishwater
07:44Dull as dishwater
07:47But his mother is like to so
08:06One hundred thousand pounds?
08:08I can hardly comprehend such a son
08:12It is more than five hundred years worth our current income
08:16It is more than five times the income of the Duke of Sussex and he is son of the king
08:20Good heavens
08:21We would have food enough to eat
08:23We would not need to wash laundry for pennies
08:27The boys could soon leave the navy and return home
08:31All of your impossible dreams would suddenly be entirely possible
08:35This would not merely save our family
08:36It would save generations of our family
08:40Duke of Kilda
08:41You might be prone to anger or unkindness
08:43What if he mistreats you?
08:45What if being married to him makes you miserable for the rest of your life?
08:48It is also possible he will be kind and considerate
08:52You don't know anything about him?
08:55Only that he clearly has a tremendous amount of money and wishes to marry me
08:59He gave no indication why
09:00You needn't simply accept this offer
09:02One may yet come from someone that you at least know won't treat you abominably
09:06There will be no other offers
09:08If I do not accept this one our family will sink further
09:12Even the simple hopes we currently have will be out of reach
09:15Then all of your hopes will be snatched away
09:17This family's happiness is worth every sacrifice
09:20Isn't your happiness worth something as well?
09:23Artemis has always told the tale of Hades and Persephone quite accurately
09:27Persephone doesn't get to be happy
09:30You mean to accept the Duke's offer?
09:53Who invited all of these people?
09:56I did
09:57It is not every day my poor boy takes a bride
10:00This was supposed to be a quiet ceremony
10:04I do not believe Miss Lancaster has invited anyone beyond her own immediate family
10:09I did not intend to cause awkwardness, Adam
10:12I only wish to celebrate
10:26I wonder if the chit will actually turn up
10:29Try to resist the urge to run through any of the wedding guests
10:39The devil is she
10:41Another five minutes and I'll go retrieve for myself
10:58When is this going to start?
10:59I'm hungry
11:01Artemis
11:02It's time to come after all
11:24I do not care per se
11:26Tonight is what do you miss...
11:28I do not care for myself
11:32What is this going to happen?
11:33This is the help of the wedding everybody
11:34I do not care for you
11:52Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together in the sight of God and the face of this congregation
11:58to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
12:04an honorable estate instituted of God in the time of man's innocence,
12:08signifying unto us the mystical union betwixt Christ and his church.
12:14Therefore, if any man can show any just cause why they should not lawfully be joined together,
12:21let him speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace.
12:28Do you ship lost in my kingdom?
12:33Go on.
12:36Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?
12:49Apparently I giveth myself.
12:55Take her right hand in yours.
13:04I, Adam Richard Boyce, Duke of Kilda, Marquess of Faustin, Earl of Faustin, Vicampinus, Baron Faustin, Baron Whiteley,
13:09take thee to be my wedded wife,
13:10to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
13:14in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part according to God's holy ordinance,
13:18and thereto I plight thee my troth.
13:27I, Persephone...
13:28Ridiculous.
13:35Lancaster, do you take thee to be my wedded husband,
13:44to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse,
13:48for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health,
13:52to love and to cherish till death do us part according to God's holy ordinance,
13:59and thereto I give thee my truth.
14:02Is that everything?
14:03Not usually.
14:05Can it be?
14:06I suppose all the truly essential bits have been seen to.
14:11Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
14:17To the castle, then.
15:08Is your name really Persephone?
15:12It is.
15:14Did you not think to ask?
15:18What were your parents thinking, choosing a name like that?
15:23My father is a scholar.
15:25He's particularly fond of Greek mythology.
15:27Entirely too fond, it won't seem.
15:30Are the rest of your siblings similarly afflicted?
15:32In what way afflicted?
15:34What absurd names did your parents assign the other members of your family?
15:38Athena is just younger than I.
15:40Founder is 14, Linus 13.
15:43Daphne will be 12 toward the end of the year.
15:45The youngest is Artemis.
15:47Fate save us from short-sighted scholars.
15:50Do you have a middle name?
15:52I do.
15:53I suppose it is entirely too much to hope that it is something common.
15:58Iphigenia.
16:01Persephone Iphigenia.
16:03Did no one ever call you anything else?
16:06Only Miss Lancaster.
16:08I cannot call you that.
16:10I suppose I will have to consign myself to Persephone.
16:14It would seem so.
16:18You, of course, will call me Kilda.
16:20I will not call you Kilda.
16:21Everyone calls me Kilda.
16:22Kilda?
16:23It sounds as though I am accusing you of a crime.
16:28You would no doubt prefer Agamemnon, or Apollo, or something along that vein.
16:34Magvapar certainly would.
16:36Would you propose to call me then?
16:38Adam?
16:39No one calls me Adam.
16:41No one?
16:42Certainly your family and closest friends would.
16:47Harry does.
16:48Who is Harry?
16:49A friend.
16:51One who allows himself far too much freedom.
16:56Love now.
16:59He goes.
17:23Bye.
17:57Calling me Adam will be fine.
18:00But Stephanie?
18:14Mrs. Barton, the butler.
18:17Mrs. Smithson, the housekeeper.
18:20Duchess of Kilden.
18:41Mrs. Smithson, we'll see to whatever you need.
19:05I'm likely meant to be shown all of the castle, but I would very much like to rest.
19:11Perhaps you could simply point out the rooms I need to know today and save the rest for tomorrow?
19:15Of course, Your Grace.
19:23The Drawn Room.
19:26A favourite of Queen Elizabeth.
19:28When she stayed at Fauston Castle in 1580.
19:33Do members of the royal family still visit Fauston?
19:38Heavens no!
19:39They wouldn't dare.
19:42This is the Grand Banquet Hall,
19:45which has hosted feasts for some of the most significant and influential people in the kingdom
19:50over the past 500 years.
19:54I believe your family will be dining in here this evening.
20:00Is that a gibbet?
20:03Unstucks.
20:05Was there no room in the Dark Forboding Dungeon?
20:08There's ample room, Your Grace,
20:10but the Duke says display in weapons makes them more effective.
20:19All of the family bedchambers are on this floor.
20:23This is your bedchamber, Your Grace.
20:27Is there anything else you wish for me to do, Your Grace?
20:30Not for a moment.
20:31The bell pull is beside the fireplace, should you require anything.
20:45The bell pull is beside the fireplace, should you be seated?
21:24This is never going to work.
21:33I just saw your man of business leaving the castle.
21:46What did you do to him?
21:48I fired him.
21:50Again?
21:52How many times have you fired poor man?
21:54Six.
21:56Seven.
21:57Every time he sulks away like a lily-livered coward.
22:03You didn't pull your pistol on him this time, did you?
22:05I have never pulled a pistol on Josiah Jones.
22:09I may have held an epee to his throat once or twice, but he's never in any real danger.
22:15Perhaps his fear has something to do with your less than pristine reputation, Adam.
22:19Rumor has it.
22:20You've run through a few men in your time.
22:22Rumor has it I've done quite a few things.
22:25And you wonder why Jones thinks the worst whenever you're angry with him.
22:29I always reinstate his employment and he never makes the same mistake twice.
22:40Sir, what was his transgression this time?
22:42Hmm?
22:43No, no.
22:43Don't tell me.
22:45Smiled too much while discussing the estate investments.
22:49No.
22:51Did not include enough threats in the business correspondence he sent on your behalf.
22:55He recommended a means of preventing my distant cousin from one day inheriting Fauston.
23:00Ah.
23:02Jones was the one who suggested you marry.
23:05He knew of a penniless family in Shropshire with an eldest daughter of the appropriate age who had no other
23:12prospects.
23:13His enthusiastic recommendation has proven intolerably stupid.
23:19The stupidest sitting in one's book room with one's friend on one's wedding night.
23:24Because that, Adam, is a level of idiocy far and above ordinary stupidity.
23:29I stood through the wedding and just spent an interminable dinner with my flock of new sisters-in-law.
23:37Did they stare at you?
23:41It would have been understandable, you know, having not been warned.
23:43I ought to have written then.
23:44Hmm?
23:45Perhaps I could have included a postscript with the proposal.
23:48By the way, I have a mutilated face you'll be forced to look at day in and day out for
23:54the rest of your life.
23:55Hope that's not a problem.
23:59Hmm.
24:01Perhaps not those precise words.
24:03She wasn't exactly forthcoming either.
24:05I will have you know.
24:07I forgot to mention something important.
24:09Another husband, perhaps.
24:12Extraneous limb.
24:14Her name...
24:15is Persephone.
24:17A man ought to know a thing like that about his future wife.
24:21Persephone Iphigenia.
24:24What an inexcusably ridiculous thing to call a child.
24:37I had the chance to speak briefly with your new bride, Adam.
24:42She was...
24:44delightful.
24:46Perhaps a little quiet, but that is to be expected considering the upheaval in her life.
24:52I'll confess.
24:54I had expected someone rather long in the tooth.
24:58Rather long in the face.
25:01In all honesty.
25:02So had I.
25:04But she's a fetching thing.
25:06Young and...
25:09quite pretty.
25:14Oh.
25:17You...
25:18expected someone desperate.
25:22And...
25:22ugly.
25:23And undesirable.
25:26Instead, your bride turned out to be a vast deal more than possible.
25:32Not quite what you'd bargain for, I guess.
25:36A lady who was too intolerable to have any other options would be...
25:38content with...
25:40a curmudgeon in a draughty castle in the wilds of Northumberland.
25:44And now...
25:45because she is young...
25:47and fine-looking...
25:48seems to be good-natured and potentially...
25:51enjoyable company...
25:53the poor girl is upstairs.
25:56Alone.
25:57Probably wondering what she's done wrong.
25:59While you...
26:00are down here brooding.
26:04Adam...
26:06you are completely bacon-brained.
26:08I should call you out for that.
26:10You...
26:12Not tonight.
26:13I'm tired.
26:18Call me out tomorrow, would you?
26:20I ought to lock you in the dungeon.
26:21You should.
26:23No point having a dungeon if no one's ever consigned to suffer in it.
26:28Goodnight, Adam.
26:29Goodnight.
26:30Your song shows loud.
26:35And Adam...
26:36What?
26:38Give the poor girl a chance.
26:40It's...
26:40It's not her fault.
26:42You've ended up with every man's idea of a perfect wife.
26:48I don't remember what you believe in it right now.
26:55You have to die.
26:56Oh my God.ו
27:02may he is away with you. I
27:03have to do more with him and watch. Come
27:04on. On
27:05your hands you go shoot him and watch.
27:34Are you going to be lonely without us, Persephone?
27:37I will miss you terribly, but you will have each other, so you are unlikely to be lonely.
27:46I do not know that anyone will remember to talk to you when you're not here.
27:52I'm certain everything will be fine. You don't need to worry about us.
27:59Write and tell me about all the things you're reading.
28:09I love you.
28:10I love you too.
28:13Hey Kayce!
28:15I do not want to go!
28:17Let me speak with her.
28:23My dear girl, you're crying.
28:26He cannot make you stay here.
28:28No one is making me stay here, dearest.
28:31Folsom Castle is my home now.
28:33I will send you letters.
28:35Perhaps with the guinea under the seal.
28:37You could come here.
28:39We could explore the castle together.
28:41You won't let me?
28:43Of course, you know.
28:44We will have grand adventures.
28:48Perhaps there is a tower room where we can imagine all sorts of wonderful stories, the way we always did
28:54at home.
28:54Do you promise?
28:56I promise.
28:58Who will take care of me when you're gone?
29:01Papa will engage a governess for both you and Daphne.
29:05A companion for Athena when you're all in town.
29:09Will you visit us there?
29:11Of course.
29:12Daphne!
29:13Yes, my dear?
29:14We will take care of you.
29:17We will be happy even though we're gone.
29:24I will.
29:28When have you known me to be unhappy?
29:30Then I will be happy too but if I don't leave now I will cry again and I do not
29:35want to cry anymore.
29:37Then let us promise each other not to cry.
29:41Yes.
29:43Good.
29:43I will see you soon.
29:45Be good for Papa.
29:46I will.
29:47I will.
29:47I love you, dearest.
29:49I love you too, Persephone.
29:51You're the best mama I've ever had.
30:28I thought you weren't supposed to cry.
30:33Artemis is crying as well.
30:34I'm certain of it.
30:36Then why make the promise?
30:38To lessen her pain?
30:42If my sister knew I was crying it would break her heart.
30:46But you know she is crying.
30:51I know her better than she knows me.
31:00The best mama she ever had.
31:03The best mama she ever had.
31:05The best mama she ever had.
31:12Hadr.
31:39I have heart Pandora.
31:42Don't you see her front of me?
32:0924 hours into this ill conceived
32:11marriage and my wife is already in the back of a garden sobbing how long into your marriage
32:28did mother start crying and when did that stop making you feel like a monster
33:10sickly
33:11she is
33:36Good evening.
33:38Are you feeling well, child?
33:42I am excessively tired.
33:45Do not fret yourself over dinner, dear.
33:48I'll have a tray sent to your room.
33:50You rest.
34:38You told me you'd call me out today.
34:40Never did.
34:42I've decided to shoot you first thing in the morning.
34:45Go to sleep so I can load my pistols in peace.
34:49Your mother said the new Duchess was indisposed this evening.
34:53Any idea what you meant by that?
34:55As mother said, she was indisposed.
34:59She wouldn't be the first person to hide from you.
35:01She?
35:02You mean Persephone?
35:03Well, I certainly don't mean your mother.
35:05You could shoot a man dead in the drawing room and she'd just smile indulgently and say,
35:08My poor boy.
35:10Yes, and the woman will still be calling me that when I'm 80.
35:12When you're 80, she'll be dead.
35:14Oh, shut up, Harry.
35:17Is there any chance Persephone's locked in the dungeon?
35:21I am not a monster.
35:23And she chose to accept me.
35:25Ah, yes, but without the benefit of the rather ingenious postscript you composed last night.
35:30I don't think she realized-
35:31You think I've made her miserable already?
35:34She took this morning's farewells particularly hard.
35:38You ought to have insisted her family stay longer.
35:40So I'm the villain, am I?
35:44I wouldn't be surprised if you never saw the poor woman again as long as you lived.
35:47In a place as enormous as this pile of rock.
35:51She could avoid you for years.
35:57Where are you going?
36:00My wife is indisposed.
36:02I'm going to see for myself that she is well.
36:05Adam?
36:06I am not going to hurt the blasted woman.
36:11You know me better than that.
36:27I am not going to hurt the mob The onlyignon girl that will hurt her for her.
36:28I am not going to hurt her.
36:28standard her life sogars.
37:29Oh, forgive me, Your Grace. I'm attempting to find the breakfast room. Please tell me you know how to reach
37:36it from here. I got lost a few times when I first started working here. Fauston Castle is quite a
37:42big place. Enormous. New arrivals really ought to be provided with a map.
37:48Now, this may Your Grace, and I'll not tell anyone you were lost. Thank you.
37:53Mother, explain to Harry that you're not leaving Fauston Castle because I forced you to do so.
37:57It seems to think that I drive every person who ever comes here away with a scythe in one hand
38:01and a flaming torch in the other.
38:03A regular one-person blood-dusty mob. That's what you are. You really ought to think about employing pitchforks when
38:11you...
38:13Persephone. Come. Break your fast, dear. Kidneys? Eggs? Yes, please. Harry, will you please...
38:22I will prepare a plate for her mother. You need an inconvenience yourself.
38:27Please.
38:53Should I sit somewhere else?
38:55No. You can stay where you are.
38:59Will you be coming to town at Christmas time?
39:01I never go to town until absolutely necessary.
39:04You must convince my poor boy of the delights of London.
39:08I have never been to London.
39:11Well, then you absolutely must come as soon as possible.
39:15I shall positively love taking you round town and introducing you to just everyone.
39:22I'm certain you can pack quickly, Adam, and I could delay my departure by a day or so, and we
39:26could all...
39:27I shall be forced to take her in the spring as it is.
39:30Forced?
39:32The season is such fun.
39:34How can you say forced?
39:36I despise London.
39:38But the Queen will be vexed if Persephone is not presented, and there is one bother I could do without.
39:42Thus, I shall be forced to town.
39:46Do not let him burden you with even the tiniest amount of guilt, Your Grace.
39:49By spring, he will have gone months without insulting members of the Cabinet or any of the royal family,
39:54and will be itching for the opportunity.
39:58That is good to know.
40:00I suppose, as a good friend of the family, I ought to remain here indefinitely,
40:03and offer my insights into your grumbly husband.
40:07That is simply the sort of selfless person I am.
40:11Even selfless people can be thrown from the south parapet.
40:17I am beginning to suspect, Adam, that you do not like me very much.
40:20I will simply have to ponder the sorrow of this realisation.
40:26Your Grace.
40:29Your Grace.
40:33Your Grace.
40:37This could be confusing.
40:40You really ought to think of names for the three of you.
