00:00:02Are you ready?
00:00:04As we commit Lord Kilmartin's earthly remains to their final resting place,
00:00:09we are reminded of the transient nature of life and the fragile beauty of human existence.
00:00:15May his spirit find everlasting peace in the heavenly kingdom.
00:00:28My elder brother, Anthony, he would usually be the one to speak in times like this,
00:00:31so I apologise in advance.
00:00:36Standing before you, I know I'm supposed to say something profound,
00:00:41but to be honest, I am rather at a loss.
00:00:46This is an unfathomable tragedy.
00:00:50For Lord Kilmartin's family, for my sister, Francesca,
00:00:55for my family, for all of us.
00:00:58What makes his death so difficult to bear is not just its suddenness,
00:01:04but the fact he was a good man, one of the best of us.
00:01:10Always guided by an unshakable sense of integrity.
00:01:16His devotion to his family, to his seat in Parliament, and most especially to my sister, Francesca.
00:01:24It was unwavering.
00:01:27There's nothing I can say to make sense of this loss, or to fill the void we're all feeling.
00:01:36All I can offer is this.
00:01:39We will cherish our memory of John,
00:01:44and be forever grateful to have known such an exceptional human being.
00:02:15You did well.
00:02:17Would you like a moment alone?
00:02:19It's not necessary.
00:02:20There is far too much to oversee at home.
00:02:23The servants will have everything set up.
00:02:24You might wish to spend a last moment here.
00:02:26I would like to see that all is in order.
00:02:29I will meet you at the carriage.
00:02:42It's very, very shocking.
00:02:57King.
00:03:00Indeed.
00:03:02Thank you both for coming.
00:03:05Is this all not rather morbid?
00:03:09It is a funeral.
00:03:11It is not morbid, it is proper.
00:03:14Because heaven forbid death be anything but orderly.
00:03:18Lady Danbury.
00:03:20Francesca.
00:03:22Lord Kilmartin was a fine man.
00:03:25I liked him very much.
00:03:28Yes.
00:03:29I did as well.
00:03:32Obviously.
00:03:33Please do enjoy the refreshments.
00:03:36My condolences to you.
00:03:38And to you.
00:03:42These arrived from Anthony and Kate, dear?
00:03:48Some of my children feel devastated they are unable to attend.
00:03:51Much of our family also could not travel down from Scotland in time.
00:03:55I am most relieved I was already in London.
00:03:58And most appreciated.
00:04:00You volunteered to host the reception today.
00:04:05I would have hosted at Kilmartin House, but I thought the servants here might be better equipped.
00:04:09There is no need to explain.
00:04:11I could not imagine hosting when my husband died.
00:04:14It was my honour.
00:04:16Your son was a cherished part of this family.
00:04:18He adored your Francesca.
00:04:20I will never forget when he came home.
00:04:23The night they met.
00:04:24Stars in his eyes.
00:04:26Oh, no.
00:04:27Is this too overwhelming?
00:04:28No.
00:04:29I...
00:04:30You're running out of biscuits.
00:04:32That is all.
00:04:32Biscuits?
00:04:33The guests will expect them.
00:04:34Please excuse me.
00:04:37Mrs. Watson.
00:04:41For you?
00:04:44You've been so attentive to Francesca, I thought I might tend to you.
00:04:49Mrs. That is very kind of you.
00:04:57Is this what Papa's funeral was like?
00:05:00I was not born.
00:05:01The rest of you got to be there.
00:05:03You were there.
00:05:04You were in Mama's belly.
00:05:08Biscuit?
00:05:15Francesca, surely your servant will help with those.
00:05:18Please, allow me.
00:05:20Thank you, but I am quite capable.
00:05:28Let us all have a biscuit, shall we?
00:05:30Do you know what are in these?
00:05:32I have always wondered.
00:05:33Hmm.
00:05:35No.
00:05:37Er...
00:05:38Treacle.
00:05:38I imagine.
00:05:40Hmm.
00:05:40What else do you think?
00:05:41I taste vanilla.
00:05:42Hmm.
00:05:43Something spicy.
00:05:44Ginger, maybe?
00:05:46Hmm.
00:05:46Flour.
00:05:47Probably a little salt and perhaps, um...
00:05:50Mr. Bridgerton.
00:05:57Ladies.
00:05:58Our deepest condomances.
00:05:59Oh.
00:06:00Thank you for being...
00:06:01You're truly all right, sister.
00:06:02I'm so sorry.
00:06:03I'm so sorry.
00:06:04I can't believe he is gone.
00:06:06I can't believe he is gone.
00:06:12Lady Kilmartin?
00:06:13Oh.
00:06:14Your hair, it is coming undone.
00:06:17Perhaps we might go upstairs and I can attend to it for you.
00:06:20Awesome.
00:06:44Thank you for giving me some respite.
00:06:48I am simply doing my job, my lady.
00:06:50If only I were doing mine.
00:06:53I think you were doing admirably.
00:06:58At my father's funeral there was a very large tray of pickled salmon.
00:07:03All I could do was think how my father detested pickled salmon.
00:07:06And I wanted to throw the tray and scream.
00:07:09And did you?
00:07:14I came close.
00:07:17But I realised we all know different versions of the same person.
00:07:21Perhaps someone thought he loved pickled salmon.
00:07:24The best any of us can do is honour the memories of those we have loved.
00:07:29And let them live on through us.
00:07:31How does one do that?
00:07:34Well, I always try to think logically like my father.
00:07:38And for my mother, I wear her necklace.
00:07:44I must have forgotten it today.
00:07:53Thank you for your help.
00:07:57I had better retire while my mother will fear I have fled.
00:08:01If you need more respite, simply give me a nod and I will slip some brandy in your drink.
00:08:21Not even an invitation to funeral from the Bridgertons.
00:08:24The reputation for warmth is undeserved.
00:08:27At least Rosamond has a new suitor.
00:08:29And one of rather high rank even.
00:08:32We are fortunate in Lord Stotter's interest.
00:08:34You don't know how distraught your sister has been after failing to capture Mr Bridgerton's affection.
00:08:39She had her heart set on that match.
00:08:42Perhaps it is for the best.
00:08:43She and Mr Bridgerton may not have been well suited.
00:08:46Rosamond is well suited to anyone.
00:08:48She could charm a statue.
00:08:50If it were not for Sophie's interference.
00:08:52Sophie?
00:08:57Is that why we went looking for Sophie at Bridgerton House the other week?
00:09:00Because you suspect she has formed an attachment to Mr Bridgerton.
00:09:04It would not be the first time she interfered in our lives.
00:09:09Do you know where Sophie's working, Posey?
00:09:13No.
00:09:14I hardly know how to stitch my embroidery in the right direction.
00:09:18Let alone keep track of Sophie's whereabouts.
00:09:22Very well.
00:09:23Lovely.
00:09:24I will have to find her myself then.
00:09:27And you enjoy dancing?
00:09:28The cotillion was my favourite dance.
00:09:31My governess said I was excelling at all fours.
00:09:33I prefer walnuts.
00:09:34Why do you prefer walnuts?
00:09:52What are you doing out here?
00:09:54It's very cold.
00:09:56I nearly wanted to feel something.
00:09:58Other than despair.
00:10:00So I chose to feel cold.
00:10:03Is it helping?
00:10:04Not particularly.
00:10:08They are in need of more mint for the refreshments and shall leave you be shortly.
00:10:14It was kind of you to stay for the funeral.
00:10:18You've been a great comfort to Eloise and Hyacinth.
00:10:26As have you.
00:10:28They are very fortunate to have you, you know.
00:10:36I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:10:42It's alright, Sophie. You are not required to give me comfort.
00:10:45I know that.
00:10:47I know it is not a condition of my employment, but...
00:10:50my heart is breaking for you.
00:10:54For all of you.
00:11:01Who are still planning on leaving?
00:11:05At the end of the week.
00:11:07After the family has had some time.
00:11:09Yes, of course.
00:11:10As you should.
00:11:14I wish you luck, Sophie.
00:11:19Please go inside.
00:11:20I cannot send you off to your new position with influenza.
00:11:28I can stay a moment if you...
00:11:30No.
00:11:31Forgive me.
00:11:36I'm trying desperately to be strong for my family, for Francesca, on this dreadful day.
00:11:44And if you stay, I am afraid I will not be able to hold it together.
00:11:50I understand.
00:12:01I do not see you again.
00:12:06Goodbye, Mr Bridgerton.
00:12:12Goodbye, Sophie.
00:12:40My entire life I have found comfort in silence.
00:12:44Presumably because I never found any growing up amongst all my siblings.
00:12:52But now...
00:12:55Now, I should be grateful if you might fill it.
00:12:58I dare say this is the longest I have ever seen you go without talking.
00:13:03I am merely enjoying the peace of not having to listen to one more stranger apologize for my loss.
00:13:09Everyone is simply trying to be respectful.
00:13:12Yes.
00:13:14I realise it is proper here to speak in euphemisms and act as if we are statues in the face
00:13:21of death.
00:13:25You know...
00:13:27In Scotland, a life lost is celebrated instead of mourned.
00:13:33Everyone eats, drinks, tells stories of the dead.
00:13:39Cries and...
00:13:41laughs.
00:13:43Is that not a little...
00:13:46indulgent?
00:13:47In fact, it can be rather cathartic.
00:13:51Joyful, even.
00:13:54Perhaps we could still have a celebration for a smaller group here at Kilmartin House.
00:14:00I am sorry if you found the funeral lacking.
00:14:03You did a splendid job, Francesca.
00:14:07I was merely suggesting a celebration so that John might be remembered not for his death but for his life.
00:14:13I knew John better than I know myself and I truly believe he would not want to be the cause
00:14:18of tears or sorrow.
00:14:19He was a Scotsman.
00:14:21He would not want to be mourned by strangers.
00:14:23He would want his life rejoiced at by family, friends, his wife.
00:14:27He would want for us to get up and dance and...
00:14:29John does not want anything.
00:14:32He is dead.
00:14:33Gone.
00:14:34And turning his funeral into a circus will not change that.
00:14:57He is dead.
00:14:58He is dead.
00:14:59He is dead.
00:14:59It meant a great deal having you at the funeral.
00:15:02I do not know what we will do without you, Agatha.
00:15:04I am not leaving for another two weeks.
00:15:07So there are plenty of goodbyes still to say.
00:15:11And I will not be gone forever.
00:15:12I am happy for you.
00:15:14I think I am still in disbelief that the Queen granted me leave to go.
00:15:20I hear you are making a life change of your own with my brother.
00:15:27You know, I do not believe he told anyone else.
00:15:31He would have been a fool not to ask.
00:15:34I am delighted for you both.
00:15:40Only I am...
00:15:43Violet.
00:15:45Is everything all right?
00:15:47Yes. Yes, of course.
00:15:49I...
00:15:51I simply feel that in the wake of John's passing...
00:15:54Your mind is on Francesca.
00:15:56Indeed.
00:15:58I am rather concerned that she is not allowing herself to grieve.
00:16:05Give her time.
00:16:07We both know it is a winding and illogical road to mourn a lost love.
00:16:14She is not in her right mind.
00:16:28Are you all right, Sophie? You look as though you did not sleep awake.
00:16:31I lost my necklace. I spent half the night searching for it.
00:16:34What does it look like?
00:16:35It is a silver chain with an amethyst pendant.
00:16:37Do you know when you last saw it?
00:16:39I have no idea. I hardly notice when I am wearing it as I so rarely take it off.
00:16:44Deliveries are here.
00:16:46Make haste.
00:16:48I will look out for it, Sophie.
00:16:50Perhaps this is the heavens telling you that you should not leave us for Penwood House.
00:16:54No, it is merely telling me that I have been unforgivably careless.
00:16:58I have been so caught up.
00:17:00I lost the only piece of my mother I ever had.
00:17:03We will find it.
00:17:13Will Michaela be joining us?
00:17:17I do not believe so.
00:17:19We are giving each other space.
00:17:21Which suits me quite well as I am rather busy with my correspondence to John's relatives.
00:17:26Surely you do not least write to all of them now?
00:17:28People deserve to know.
00:17:30Writing certainly can be cathartic.
00:17:32Sometimes when I am feeling lost, I find that writing steadies me.
00:17:36I am steady.
00:17:45Francesca, you do not need to be.
00:17:47You are amongst family.
00:17:48If you would like to throw something or scream...
00:17:52Eloise, please, that is not how I wish to proceed.
00:17:54I should like to stay calm.
00:17:57But you need not.
00:17:58Yes, I do.
00:18:03I am with child.
00:18:07My courses were supposed to arrive days ago, but they never came.
00:18:12That is splendid news.
00:18:15John has left me with a gift, a piece of himself, just as father left mother with hyacinth.
00:18:20So, if I must remain calm for the sake of our child and the future of the Kilmartin line, so
00:18:26be it.
00:18:27It is a worthy course.
00:18:30I am delighted for you, sister.
00:18:34But...
00:18:36Let us just keep this between ourselves for now until I speak to the men from the House of Lords.
00:18:41Of course.
00:18:47How is Lady Kilmartin faring?
00:18:50She is faring as best she can, I imagine.
00:18:54It is quite a cruel twist of fate to lose one's husband at such a tender age.
00:19:00I imagine it cruel to lose one's husband at any age.
00:19:03And yet for some of us, a release.
00:19:09What was she wearing at the funeral, Lady Kilmartin?
00:19:13If one must endure, I do hope she at least was enduring in a marvellous ensemble.
00:19:20She looked quite elegant.
00:19:24These bonbons do not taste the same.
00:19:28It is a shame when a good thing changes.
00:19:31You know, Charlotte, there is a fortnight yet before I leave.
00:19:36Yes, I know.
00:19:38I should like the bonbons from Switzerland instead.
00:19:42Perhaps I should arrange for some new exotic animal to be imported for the grounds.
00:19:48I will write, Charlotte.
00:19:54I am sad, Agatha.
00:19:58It is a sad time.
00:20:00Yes.
00:20:02Goodbyes are never easy.
00:20:03Particularly as I have just bid farewell to Whistledown.
00:20:09She would have written something profound about Lord Kilmartin's passing.
00:20:14Not to mention a detailed report of the funereal fashions beyond elegant.
00:20:20Hm.
00:20:22It would have been something to look forward to.
00:20:25I miss her.
00:20:29Mrs Mondridge.
00:20:30I should like to hold mercury now.
00:20:36Your Majesty.
00:20:39Oh!
00:20:41She is quite excitable.
00:20:45Perhaps the bitch needs some water to cool down.
00:21:00There you are.
00:21:03Here I am.
00:21:04I hope I am not interrupting.
00:21:07I have just sent word to the House of Lords to arrange their visit with Francesca concerning the Kilmartin estate.
00:21:13I will attend as well, of course.
00:21:16Well, for all you have done in Anthony's absence.
00:21:22Are you alright?
00:21:24It is not me you should be worrying about.
00:21:26We are most fortunate that Sophie remained to help.
00:21:28I do hope she will be content.
00:21:29Please do not bring her up.
00:21:30I know, I know. It has been a difficult week.
00:21:32Not today. Please!
00:21:36It is all a tad hypocritical, do you not think?
00:21:40What is hypocritical?
00:21:41You.
00:21:43You spent our entire lives claiming the one thing that matters is marrying a love match.
00:21:48For years I did not understand it, nor want it. In fact, I ran from it.
00:21:52And now...
00:21:55Now I have found someone I love.
00:21:57More than I could even have thought possible.
00:21:59Someone captivating and maddening and real, just as you wanted.
00:22:03Just as Daphne and Anthony and Colin and Francesca...
00:22:06You love her.
00:22:06What?
00:22:07It does not signify, does it?
00:22:08She is not of the right class, so I cannot be with her. Not truly.
00:22:12I must let her go, as if she means nothing.
00:22:14Tell me, is that what you would have done had Father been of the lower classes?
00:22:18Tossed your love aside to search for someone of proper breeding?
00:22:23Forgive me.
00:22:30Where is it?
00:22:39Are you looking for something?
00:22:42No.
00:22:44Lady Bridgerton, I simply noticed some dust. Pardon me.
00:22:51I wanted to thank you for staying on to help at the funeral.
00:22:55Oh, it is the least I could do.
00:22:57I do regret that I am leaving at such a difficult time.
00:23:00Well, you must do what is best for you.
00:23:07Sophie?
00:23:11Is it because of Benedict that you feel you must depart?
00:23:17Why did you not dismiss me?
00:23:19Well, perhaps I should have done, but I like you.
00:23:22You are the sort of woman I would like for my son.
00:23:25If I were not a maid.
00:23:30You must know it is not Mr Bridgerton's fault.
00:23:32Your son is a good man. I...
00:23:35I knew better.
00:23:37Sophie?
00:23:39If there is perhaps something about your history that you have not shared.
00:23:44Your accent, your education, your proclivity for languages.
00:23:48Perhaps if there is something that you are running from.
00:23:52You are a woman.
00:23:57No.
00:23:58I am a maid.
00:24:01I am not a suitable match for your son.
00:24:06I wish the world were different.
00:24:17Leave me alone, Gregory.
00:24:19It's all well.
00:24:20Get out!
00:24:22I tried talking sense into Hyacinth, but she is highly unreasonable.
00:24:25Mother should have stopped at seven.
00:24:33What is going on in here?
00:24:35I am simply ridding myself of things I do not need,
00:24:38as I have decided to delay my debut.
00:24:40Or perhaps not to make my debut at all.
00:24:43What?
00:24:43Same curtains, same ceiling, yet surely I am in a foreign land.
00:24:46What is the point of finding love when your husband will probably die?
00:24:54So this is about John?
00:24:57It's only John.
00:24:59Father.
00:25:00Even Lord Featherington.
00:25:02All gone.
00:25:03I have been taken up with foolish fantasies.
00:25:05When all love truly brings is hardship and sorrow.
00:25:10I suppose it is...
00:25:13difficult.
00:25:13Well, I for one want no part of it.
00:25:16I have finally seen the wisdom in what you have been telling me.
00:25:19You were right all along, sister.
00:25:35How is Francesca?
00:25:37Oh, what she is going through, I would not wish on anyone.
00:25:42Shall we?
00:25:47Losing someone unexpectedly, it is as if your very breath is ripped from you.
00:25:52Your entire reality has shifted within the blink of an eye.
00:25:56It is natural you must be thinking of Edmund.
00:25:59Yes, I have.
00:26:01I think about Nessar every day.
00:26:05Anything you need, I am here for you.
00:26:13There is one thing I must request.
00:26:18I was wondering if we might keep our betrothal to ourselves for a while.
00:26:22Only because I do not want our happy news to overshadow.
00:26:26Say no more.
00:26:27I have told only my sister.
00:26:30Otherwise, we...
00:26:31We shall wait.
00:26:42We shall wait.
00:26:48Alfie, what are you doing here?
00:26:50Looking for you.
00:26:51You are so eager to see me that you cannot wait until my return to Penwood House.
00:26:55I am flattered.
00:26:55That is why I have been trying to find you.
00:26:58I gave the new Lady Penwood your note about delaying your style until after the funeral,
00:27:02but she would not wait.
00:27:04She hired someone else.
00:27:05I... I'm sorry.
00:27:07What?
00:27:08No, I have already given my notice to Lady Bridgerton.
00:27:12Surely she will not mind if you stay on a little longer.
00:27:14I cannot.
00:27:15Seeing Mr Bridgerton, it is torture, Alfie.
00:27:18I only want to come home to you.
00:27:20Irma Brum's hit is all my want.
00:27:21I know. We all wanted that.
00:27:23But we will find you another position.
00:27:25There are so few just now.
00:27:27I have heard of one opening for a house made on Breton Street.
00:27:29That is far too close to Bridgerton House.
00:27:31Perhaps I should return to the country.
00:27:35I have heard of one other position.
00:27:37A family in Mayfair is in need of a ladies maid to help them move.
00:27:41Their servants speak very highly of them.
00:27:44I can do that.
00:27:45You know I am skilled at...
00:27:46They are moving to the Americas.
00:27:49You would need to be on a ship in three days.
00:28:08Francesca.
00:28:10This is Mr Dundas from the House of Lords.
00:28:13Good day.
00:28:14Good day.
00:28:15My condolences for your loss and apologies for the timing of this visit, Lady Kilmartin.
00:28:20It's procedure.
00:28:22Quite right.
00:28:22Despite the circumstances, it is of the utmost importance.
00:28:25The lines of succession are followed to the letter.
00:28:28Your brother has been a tremendous help with the paperwork.
00:28:31I will be speaking with the Stirling family next.
00:28:34But of course there is one question I must ask you first.
00:28:37As a formality really.
00:28:38I am with child.
00:28:42Sister.
00:28:44That is...
00:28:46wonderful news.
00:28:48Indeed.
00:28:50Well then, I shall alert the physician for an examination at once.
00:28:54An examination?
00:28:56Well, yes. We must have confirmation.
00:28:58Can you not simply take her word for it?
00:29:01Of course, Lady Kilmartin. Your word is of great value.
00:29:03It is only that the Crown has grown quite stringent.
00:29:06When it comes to succession, there is an estate and title at stake,
00:29:09not to mention a seat in Parliament.
00:29:11I do not wish to have an examination.
00:29:13My sister has been through a great loss, Mr. Dundas.
00:29:16Any examination will have to wait.
00:29:17Believe me, I sympathise.
00:29:19But this is the way society demands things be done.
00:29:21I have had quite enough of the demands of society
00:29:24and his utterly antiquated way of doing things.
00:29:27This is an honourable family.
00:29:29You have no idea of the sacrifices we have made to maintain that honour.
00:29:33I'll not stand here and let you pressure my sister after the nightmare she's been through.
00:29:40I assure you, Lady Kilmartin, it will be swift and dignified.
00:29:44And then we can all take comfort in knowing for certain.
00:29:49Hm?
00:30:25Jesus.
00:30:27Jesus.
00:30:52Forgive me, I heard a noise.
00:30:54I did not mean to startle you.
00:30:57I have been tasked with organising John's affairs and I've misplaced a document.
00:31:03You need not explain.
00:31:05Please, I will do it.
00:31:09It's been a hell of a week.
00:31:12I know.
00:31:15Every time I see you, I'm conscious it may be the last.
00:31:19And I hated how we said goodbye at the funeral.
00:31:25I love you.
00:31:35I love you.
00:31:40I love you.
00:32:06I know.
00:32:39Have you finished tea?
00:32:41Yes.
00:32:42Shall I take you to your bedchamber?
00:32:45No.
00:32:46Would you like another cup of tea?
00:32:48No, I should like to sleep in here.
00:32:50In the drawing room, Francesca, are you avoiding sleeping in your room?
00:32:59I do not blame you.
00:33:04I could not bear to be at Aubrey Hall for months.
00:33:08Yes.
00:33:09But being there and facing it and feeling it...
00:33:13Oh, stop it! Will you please stop it?
00:33:14I am so sorry, my dear. I am only trying to...
00:33:17You are trying to tell me that you understand.
00:33:24I can see it in your face, even when you say nothing, that we are the same now.
00:33:29Because we have both lost our husbands, but we are not the same.
00:33:34You have eight children.
00:33:39Eight pieces of your husband to remember him by eight!
00:33:42Eight times you did your wifely duty and gave father the gift of children.
00:33:46And what did I give John? Nothing!
00:33:47And I only have myself to blame!
00:33:49Francesca, none of this is your fault!
00:33:51Oh, it is!
00:33:52It is my fault!
00:33:54I cursed it!
00:33:56John wanted to have a child and it was my duty to give that to him,
00:34:00to continue the Kilmartin line, and I failed him!
00:34:02I gave him nothing! I have nothing!
00:34:05I have nothing!
00:34:05Is it all right? It's all right.
00:34:09Is it all right?
00:34:14Is it all right?
00:34:16Is it all right?
00:34:20Is it all right?
00:34:25Is it all right?
00:34:27Can I bring you some tea, my lady?
00:34:31No, thank you Mrs. Whistler.
00:34:35Sometimes I sit here and just stir at this portrait.
00:34:40We were supposed to be in this together, Edmund and I, through every trial.
00:34:46The children, they look to me for answers, and I do not have all the answers.
00:34:54You were supposed to be here.
00:35:01If I may, Mom. The children do not need you to have all the answers.
00:35:07Or even half the answers.
00:35:11They only need you to love them.
00:35:44Mrs Wilson told me you were still here.
00:35:48Mother. I was just about to take my leave.
00:35:53Shall I pour you a drink?
00:35:55Strong oil, perhaps.
00:36:17I owe you an apology.
00:36:19You know, I have been thinking about your father quite a lot.
00:36:23Of course.
00:36:24That you were also very unlucky to lose him when you did.
00:36:27You were so young.
00:36:29But for me, in many ways, I...
00:36:34I was lucky.
00:36:37I had a great love for a very long time.
00:36:43Some people will never get that.
00:36:51After everything that has transpired, I have found myself reflecting quite a lot about love.
00:37:01About time not always being on our side.
00:37:05I did not realise how strongly you felt about Sophie.
00:37:09I assumed it was a flirtation, a dalliance.
00:37:12I never imagined it.
00:37:13I should never have allowed it to go that far.
00:37:15Starting a life with someone from another class is no easy feat.
00:37:19You would have to move to the country.
00:37:21Yes.
00:37:21We had discussed such plans.
00:37:24I would have gone back and forth.
00:37:26No, no, there would be no going back and forth.
00:37:28You would be ostracised by society, both of you.
00:37:31You would have to move there permanently.
00:37:34I imagine that would be a rather startling transition for someone who has lived a life as well-liked and
00:37:40privileged as you.
00:37:42It is important that you understand.
00:37:45Because there is one crucial sacrifice you will have to make.
00:37:52Your family.
00:37:54And that is not to say that we shall not speak, but it will mostly be confined to letters.
00:38:00We will not be able to visit as often as we might like.
00:38:04As it could impact your sister's prospects for marriage if we are believed to nurture a close relationship.
00:38:10So you will miss birthdays and weddings and...
00:38:15Stop it, please.
00:38:16There is truly no need for this.
00:38:19Sophie does not want to be with me.
00:38:21Oh, I very much doubt that is the case if you ask her to marry.
00:38:28How strongly did I pour that drink?
00:38:29What you said was correct.
00:38:34All I have ever wanted for my children was to find love.
00:38:37So if you have found it, you deserve to go after it before it is too late.
00:38:42But if you marry Sophie, it will never change how much I love you, Benedict.
00:38:52And with that said, I know my son, I know my son, I know that at times you can be...
00:39:01How dare I say it?
00:39:03A non-committal.
00:39:05Hmm.
00:39:07Well, you must have me mistaken for one of your other children.
00:39:17Promise me you will think very carefully before making a decision.
00:39:21And whatever you choose, you must live with it forever.
00:39:28We all will.
00:39:29Once, and I will.
00:39:47Thank you very much.
00:39:48Let me andμ people.
00:39:48Bye.
00:39:48Let us see.
00:39:48With us, remember, it is time to eat, I know.
00:40:03We shall find you a dress that cannot be ignored.
00:40:07Lord Stotter will have no choice but to propose.
00:40:13I did not realise I was a jester.
00:40:17Apologies, Mama.
00:40:18It is only the thought of a mere dress so bewitching that a gentleman loses his free will.
00:40:24Must be quite the magical dress indeed.
00:40:26It will be.
00:40:27When I wear it, I look forward to seeing it.
00:40:30In fact, I think it wise you stay behind today.
00:40:33Your sister and I will have a lengthy appointment at the Modiste.
00:40:36And then we may speak to the magistrate afterwards to see if he has heard any word of Sophie.
00:40:41My shoe clip's being born.
00:40:43I'm certain you will enjoy some time here.
00:40:48Understood.
00:41:02Well, I should be leaving now to check on the household orders.
00:41:07Shall I get you anything while I'm out?
00:41:10No.
00:41:10Thank you, Bali.
00:41:12I should like to take the afternoon to read.
00:41:15Oh.
00:41:16In private.
00:41:44I should go home.
00:41:53Miss Posey, shall I have some tea prepared for you?
00:42:11Posey, what are you doing here?
00:42:13Sophie!
00:42:18I escaped out the drawing room window. I did not want to risk the servant's seeing.
00:42:22Then when I arrived, I told that handsome footman that I misplaced my glove when we came for tea,
00:42:26and as he went to look, I ran up here. I assumed your room would be up in the attic
00:42:29like most ladies' maids,
00:42:30though I had to check in three different rooms before I found yours, and thank goodness no one else was
00:42:34up here.
00:42:35I do not believe I have ever felt so exhilarated in my...
00:42:39I am rambling, and I do not have time.
00:42:42I came to warn you that we have moved in next door, and my mama is intent on finding you.
00:42:46She does not know you live here now, as I have covered for you, but she means to have you
00:42:50arrested for the shoe clips.
00:42:56And she will surely find me if I stay in Mayfair, even if I leave Bridgerton House.
00:43:02I am so sorry, Sophie. The shoe clips are my fault.
00:43:06It was very brave of you to come, thank you, but you must get back.
00:43:12I... I wish I had said this to you before, but the things she has always said about you, about
00:43:18your mother,
00:43:20they are cruel and untrue.
00:43:23That is kind of you to say.
00:43:24I would not have survived in that house without you.
00:43:27You were always so kind and courageous.
00:43:31You have the strongest will of anyone I have ever known.
00:43:35Perhaps you get that from your mother.
00:43:42There is a job in the Americas.
00:43:44It will keep me safe from your mother.
00:43:46I will be on a ship in two days, and with any luck, she and I shall never see each
00:43:50other again.
00:43:53I will miss you.
00:43:59Do not let her get the better of you.
00:44:01You have a strong will of your own.
00:44:05Now go.
00:44:24Are you going to play something?
00:44:29Benedict, I did not realise you were here.
00:44:34I wanted to see how you are.
00:44:39You have already taken on more than enough by tending to the estate.
00:44:46I should have compelled Mr. Dumas to delay the examination.
00:44:50I am sorry, I could not do more.
00:44:52It would not have changed the outcome.
00:44:57John wished for a child and I could not give him one.
00:45:14You are rather good.
00:45:15That is all I know.
00:45:18When you were very young, I would play this to make you laugh.
00:45:22I hoped it might still work.
00:45:26You should have pursued Piano Forte.
00:45:31One of many things.
00:45:34You do not give yourself enough credit, Benedict.
00:45:37Nor do you.
00:45:42John may have wanted a child, but above all else, he wanted you.
00:45:50It was plain as day to anyone around you, how much joy you brought him.
00:45:56You lit up his entire world.
00:46:05Trust me, it was almost insufferable for the rest of us.
00:46:09No.
00:46:23Look how it changed.igkeiten
00:46:25Isn't
00:46:26this too close to nothing? Notesar's
00:46:36Notices that.
00:46:36They are puzzled.
00:46:37They are going through a
00:46:37center. You have several times there Hmm,
00:46:41I thought doing things the proper way made it the correct way.
00:46:50I thought if I acted as though I was fine, I would be.
00:46:55But I am exhausted.
00:46:57I should like to feel some joy.
00:47:02I want to celebrate Don's life.
00:47:05Will you help me?
00:47:10What do you mean, you lost her?
00:47:12Well, she must have climbed out of the window, ma'am.
00:47:16I mean, how was I to know the girl possessed such agility?
00:47:18You were supposed to follow her to see if she would lead us to Sophie.
00:47:25Posie, how was your day?
00:47:27Well spent, was it?
00:47:30I suppose so.
00:47:31I read a novel.
00:47:40I wish to speak to you.
00:47:53I owe you an apology.
00:47:55I've let my distress about Sophie and the season get the better of me.
00:47:57And at times, perhaps, I have unfairly vended my frustrations on you.
00:48:03Yes, well, I have grown quite accustomed to it.
00:48:07It started long before Sophie left.
00:48:13You know, I was much like you when I was younger.
00:48:16It is obviously Rosamond who is most similar to you.
00:48:18Now, but before my debut.
00:48:21Before the marriage part.
00:48:23I was like you.
00:48:25Joyful.
00:48:26Optimistic.
00:48:28Unconcerned with propriety.
00:48:31Clumsy.
00:48:32I was lucky your father chose me.
00:48:34Considering I hardly knew how to curtsy properly.
00:48:39And then he died.
00:48:41Do you know what it is like for a young lady with two small girls to re-enter the marriage
00:48:45part?
00:48:46I was already damaged goods.
00:48:49So I could not afford a single misstep.
00:48:52I had to be perfect in every way.
00:48:54I was lucky to find a second match.
00:48:57A love match with that.
00:49:00But then Sophie appeared.
00:49:03And once again, I could not produce an heir.
00:49:08And then he died as well.
00:49:10Mama.
00:49:14Do not feel sorry for me.
00:49:18I clearly carry some kind of curse.
00:49:26But I refuse to pass it down to you and Rosamond.
00:49:29Which is why I insist on perfection.
00:49:32And this match with Lord Stotter.
00:49:35If your sister can see it through.
00:49:37It may be the tide that raises all our boats.
00:49:44But not if Lord Stotter were ever to find out about our connection to Sophie.
00:49:49That you and Rosamond were both raised with a bastard child at your side.
00:49:52She is the stain on our name, Posie.
00:49:55And they thought that she has been at Bridgerton House all this time.
00:49:58Seducing the man that your sister had her heart set on.
00:50:03I thought we confirmed that she is not at Bridgerton House.
00:50:08I thought so as well.
00:50:10But Farley saw her at the market today.
00:50:14Wearing a Bridgerton House uniform.
00:50:20You need not go after her, Mama.
00:50:22She is leaving for the Americas.
00:50:24She will leave Bridgerton House soon and you can forget all about her.
00:50:30I see.
00:50:44What am I to do without you?
00:50:46I cannot believe you are abandoning us of Penwood House.
00:50:50Who will help me keep this one in line if you are gone?
00:50:54Somehow I think you will be up to the task.
00:51:04What?
00:51:05Do not give me that look.
00:51:06Not when you are still pretending to go to Penwood House
00:51:08rather than departing for the Americas tomorrow.
00:51:11Shh.
00:51:12It will only make saying goodbye that much harder.
00:51:14And I do not want to detract from Lady Kilmartin's event tonight.
00:51:18When must you leave?
00:51:19Whilst the Bridgertons are out.
00:51:21I aim to aid my new employees in finishing their packing this evening.
00:51:24What about your mother's necklace?
00:51:26You said you could not leave it.
00:51:27In many ways, I think I wore it all these years not to honour her.
00:51:32But as a reminder of her mistakes.
00:51:35Perhaps it is time to let it go and leave the past with it.
00:51:38You can do that without crossing the ocean, you know.
00:51:41I must get the ladies ready for the festivities.
00:52:04Thank you all for coming.
00:52:09It has been a harrowing set of days, to say the least.
00:52:13But tonight, I'd have to stir away with grief
00:52:16and remember the remarkable man that John was.
00:52:19I shall go first.
00:52:21John was my greatest friend and partner in mischief since birth.
00:52:26He was genuine, determined,
00:52:28and had patience fit for a saint to tolerate my nature.
00:52:31More like the patience of tensing.
00:52:37He was my guiding light, my compass.
00:52:40We were opposite ends of the pendulum,
00:52:42yet somehow we balanced each other.
00:52:45I will miss you, dear cousin,
00:52:47more than you will ever know.
00:52:54Do not feel obligated,
00:52:56but if anyone would like to speak...
00:53:01To John.
00:53:02A kind of gentleman I have never known.
00:53:07I always admired how deliberate John was.
00:53:10He thought through everything with such care.
00:53:13Unless, of course, you've got some brandy in him,
00:53:15in which case, well, look out.
00:53:19He was exceptionally nimble-footed.
00:53:22You should have seen him climbing trees as a boy.
00:53:25Went up so high,
00:53:26I feared we would never get him down again.
00:53:31John may have been a man of few words,
00:53:33but he saved them for when they counted the most.
00:53:37He knew the power of a gesture,
00:53:39that actions speak louder.
00:53:42He showed his heart
00:53:44with a love he gave to Fran.
00:53:46To all of us.
00:53:48He shall be missed dearly,
00:53:49but never forgotten.
00:53:53To John.
00:53:54To John.
00:53:55To John.
00:53:57Now, perhaps we might...
00:53:59I would like to speak.
00:54:07It seems inconceivable
00:54:13that he is gone.
00:54:18I had our entire lives planned.
00:54:21I thought I knew exactly what the future held.
00:54:24And now...
00:54:26It's only a headache.
00:54:28How could a headache take my husband away?
00:54:31For days, all I could think was how it is not fair.
00:54:34John was a good man.
00:54:35He deserved a better fate, a longer life.
00:54:39But that is not how I wish to remember him.
00:54:44It is quite something to spend your entire life
00:54:46feeling like you are somehow out of place.
00:54:49And then to meet someone
00:54:51who understands you before you even say a word.
00:54:55Someone who's singular qualities match your own.
00:55:01Whose kindness makes you feel warm.
00:55:05You can read your mind from across the whole room.
00:55:08John was more than my husband.
00:55:10He was my truest friend.
00:55:12And I may...
00:55:14Oh, ache...
00:55:16at present, but...
00:55:19the good John brought into my life...
00:55:21that bond, that understanding, love...
00:55:25far outweighs any pain I feel right now.
00:55:29I would not change it.
00:55:31For anything.
00:55:34To my husband.
00:55:48I thought I might perform
00:55:50a Scottish Highland dance
00:55:51that John and I learned as children.
00:55:55Fran, will you join me?
00:55:58Yes.
00:55:59I do.
00:56:03I'm late.
00:56:04Right.
00:56:05This is the stag, everyone.
00:56:14Wonderful.
00:56:16Wonderful.
00:56:17Right, then we'll go into spinning.
00:56:19And spin.
00:56:22Right.
00:56:24Well, do not leave us
00:56:25simply dancing alone.
00:56:26Grab a partner.
00:56:28Come on.
00:56:28Pair up, pair up.
00:56:29Put your drinks down.
00:56:30Mother.
00:56:30Get into the stag, everyone.
00:56:33One, two, three, four.
00:56:37Wonderful.
00:56:39And spin.
00:56:43Lovely arm.
00:56:47Switch.
00:56:50Back to the beginning.
00:56:52Yes.
00:56:53Stag.
00:56:54All right.
00:56:54Let's go.
00:56:56Let's go.
00:57:02And spin.
00:57:07Switch partners.
00:57:23Excuse me, Mother.
00:57:24Where are you going?
00:57:25There is something I have to take care of
00:57:27at Bridgeton House.
00:57:28But you could not wait?
00:57:29I've waited long enough already.
00:57:31Wait.
00:57:33I have left something for you
00:57:35in your desk.
00:57:36It was my grandmother's.
00:57:40Go.
00:57:42Watch it.
00:57:48See you next time.
00:57:49Bye.
00:57:57Bye.
00:57:59Bye.
00:58:02Bye.
00:58:05Bye.
00:58:08Bye-bye.
