TVTranscript
00:02Harry was as impertinent as ever when I saw him an hour or so ago.
00:06I think that is an indication that he is recovering.
00:12I received a letter from my sister today.
00:15Which one?
00:17Artemis.
00:18Youngest?
00:20Yes.
00:24She dislikes a governess, not for any legitimate reason.
00:29She feels weighed down by the continued state of mourning around the house.
00:33And she has asked, again, to be able to come here to visit.
00:43I suggested spring or summer.
00:50Of course nothing has actually been planned.
00:55We will have to go to London in the spring.
00:58After enduring society in the season, we get to return here, where it's quiet.
01:07Yes.
01:10It is decidedly quiet.
01:30How are you feeling?
01:32Hmm.
01:34Much improved.
01:36Being away from the boar and dagger has contributed greatly to my welfare.
01:40And you'll be pleased to know it will not be a source of misery any longer.
01:44It is to be shuttered.
01:45Immediately.
01:50Shuttered?
01:50Hmm.
01:52A closer look at Smith's history and practice has made closing the place absolutely necessary.
01:56Any man who would withhold food, warmth, medical aid, and the ability to send for help when a person is
02:01in distress, and has done so, time and again, ought not be running an inn.
02:07Hmm.
02:10First you rush to my rescue.
02:14Then you vanquish the villain who tortured me.
02:18Watch yourself, Adam.
02:23People will begin to think you care.
02:25Shut up, Harry.
02:26Ha!
02:29Ha!
02:36Barton?
02:39What is that infernal noise?
02:43I believe that would be described as lively conversation, Helis.
02:46And who is responsible for such lively conversation?
02:50Hmm.
02:51Mrs. Poynter.
02:53No doubt the vicar is here as well.
02:54No doubt.
02:56Are you feeling quite yourself today, Barton?
02:59I hear you.
02:59I feel better than I have in years, Your Grace.
03:02It sounds as though Faustin is infested with birds.
03:09A full tea!
03:11I believe Cook was exceptionally excited at the prospect of preparing a tea tree once more.
03:17It's been a while here, Grace.
03:20How is it, Barton, that the vicar and his wife came to be in my drawing room?
03:24I do not recall altering the requirement that all guests be informed that I am not at home.
03:30The vicar was quite specific about seeing her, Grace.
03:34When I presented the Duchess with Mr. Poynter's card, I thought she'd actually run down the stairs.
03:40She was so pleased to have call us.
03:43How long have the Poynter's been here?
03:45Only a few minutes, Your Grace.
03:47Well, a few minutes is more than most get.
03:55Of course.
03:56Would you like a cup of tea, Adam?
03:58No.
03:59It is a pleasure to see you again, Your Grace.
04:01I doubt that.
04:02What precisely is the reason for your visit here?
04:05Social call, of course.
04:06Of course.
04:07When in the fifteen years that you have served as vicar, has Faustin Castle ever received visitors?
04:11Not once, Your Grace.
04:13Not once.
04:14What has led you to believe that that has changed?
04:17Wishful thinking?
04:18There will be no callers at Faustin Castle.
04:21Not today, not in the future.
04:24Faustin Castle is not receiving Your Grace, or you are not receiving?
04:30It is the same.
04:32Forgive me.
04:32It is not.
04:34Thank you for your hospitality, Your Grace.
04:39Do you come again?
04:44I will see you on Sunday.
04:47Do not lose hope.
04:49Happiness can be found even in dark times.
04:51Persephone doesn't get to be happy.
04:53That is the ending of the myth according to my youngest sister.
04:56Ah, but it is the ending of the tale according to you that matters most.
05:00You might as well stay and finish your tea.
05:06Cook will be offended if the tray is sent back untouched.
05:10Do sit, dear.
05:11Do try the lemon cake.
05:16Pardon?
05:20Are you sure you wouldn't care for some tea?
05:26I didn't know I was supposed to turn them away.
05:30They might as well finish their tea.
05:33I thought no one wanted to meet me.
05:35I doubt anyone in the neighborhood even made the attempt.
05:39So I could visit the neighbors?
05:41No.
05:44No.
05:45They may attempt to return the favor.
05:48But I...
05:48I will not have Fauston Castle overrun with people.
05:54Of course not.
05:57Thank you for allowing the pointers to remain.
05:59I have been enjoying their visit.
06:05You of course...
06:07Will owe Mrs. Pointer a visit.
06:09I understand she entertains half the county on a regular basis.
06:14I could...
06:15Meet the neighbors that way then.
06:19If you want to.
06:50Who else was at the vicarage?
06:52Mrs. Milston and her daughter.
06:53Lady Hedisham.
06:55Miss Greenborough.
06:57What did you think of our residence, Minster?
06:59She was very quiet, so I was not able to form much of an opinion of her.
07:03Ms. Stephanie?
07:07It's for me.
07:09You should read it.
07:13Your Grace, Lord, your Empress Lord of the Admiral.
07:15Dears, relate to me your inquiries regarding two midshipmen aboard the HMS Triumphant.
07:22Evander Lancaster, as you have been informed, succumbed to entry to stay at Trafal Grunas.
07:27McMost lost at that time has been buried in a cemetery untroupled or alongside his fallen shipmates.
07:33Go on, Persephone.
07:36There's no bad news.
07:39Midshipman Linus Lancaster.
07:43Sustained only minor wounds in that battle and remains aboard the Triumphant.
07:50It will as requested be granted shortly when we return the help board.
07:58The other missive is from Linus.
08:02Linus has written to me.
08:06I don't know how you manage this, Adam.
08:10You needed answers.
08:12I simply ensured you received them.
08:15This is by far the kindest thing any person has ever done for me, Adam.
08:18Thank you so, so much.
08:37You did that very well.
08:38You did that very well.
08:50I just kissed Persephone
08:52I noticed
08:56And um
09:00I think Persephone noticed as well
09:03Which is a good thing really
09:05If she hadn't even realised who was kissing her
09:07One would begin to wonder about your technique
09:09Oh sh-
09:10I know
09:12Shut up Harry
09:25They're getting louder
09:34Thank you for my letter Adam
09:39Linus sounds happy
09:41He didn't mention Evander which worries me a little
09:45It was always his way to avoid topics that were upsetting
09:51But he did promise to keep writing
09:59You don't like it when I thank you for the things that you do
10:05But I really am grateful
10:11If only you could do something about the wolves
10:14The wolves
10:14The wolves
10:49Wassefni?
10:57Wassefni?
10:58Wassefni?
11:04What happened?
11:06You were thrown from a horse.
11:08Are you hurt?
11:10Can you sit up?
11:11I don't know.
11:15Let me help you.
11:17Careful.
11:21How?
11:24Does anything hurt?
11:26You asked me that already?
11:28A person can be killed being thrown from a horse.
11:31Until I'm certain you are not hurt, I'm going to keep asking you questions.
11:38What happened?
11:40I can't explain it to you Chris.
11:42It's almost like something spoke the horse.
11:45We're fortunate she didn't come to serious harm.
11:47Yes, your Chris.
11:52Your Abigail can have a hot bath prepared.
11:55That should help with any stiffness.
11:57There really is no need for this much fuss.
12:00When you're too stiff to come down for dinner, you'll disagree.
12:03Careful.
12:05There you are.
12:09That is very kind of you, Adam.
12:11You were thrown from a horse, Persephone.
12:14Any decent gentleman would be concerned.
12:21I can have the kitchen and send up a tray if you would rather not come down for dinner.
12:26I really am feeling fine already.
12:28I think I was more startled than anything else.
12:33When I'm a little more sure of myself, might I come riding with you and Harry?
12:41Atlas can't keep pace with Zeus.
12:43Couldn't you rein Zeus in a little?
12:45Or let me join you at the end of your ride once Zeus has slowed down?
12:52Zeus is impatient.
12:54He might make Atlas nervous.
12:57Couldn't I at least try?
13:02I would rather you not take that chance.
13:06But you would be there.
13:09Yes, but that is no guarantee.
13:25I'm sorry.
13:30Adam.
13:54Dun dun...
13:56It's too досude quiet in here.
14:17Oh, the blazes is taken to.
14:21So you are awake.
14:22Adam.
14:23Are you stiff from your fall?
14:25Does it hurt to walk?
14:29They are loud tonight.
14:34How long do you plan to sit at that window and worry about wolves?
14:37Until they stop.
14:41You should have come in when they first started.
14:45Come in?
14:46And curled up on the bed, wrapped up in that blanket.
14:49You knew?
14:51I thought you were asleep.
14:55Asleep?
14:56Oh, I can't sleep.
14:58You've ruined the room for me.
14:59What do you mean I've ruined it?
15:01My bedchamber used to be quiet.
15:03And then you started coming in and making all those noises while you're sleeping.
15:07I make noises?
15:08And you move constantly.
15:10Loud noises?
15:11What?
15:12No.
15:13No, like a puppy.
15:17Little noises.
15:19And that doesn't bother you?
15:21I've grown used to it.
15:23I don't want to bother you.
15:27You won't?
15:31The wolves don't worry me as much in your bedchamber.
15:37Like Wiser and his?
15:40No.
15:42The way I forget it.
15:43If the pack ever actually makes it into the castle, they'll eat you first.
15:57Good night, Adam.
16:00Good night, Persephone.
16:11Adam?
16:13Yes?
16:16Why did you decide to get married?
16:23At the time, it seemed like a good idea.
16:30Does it now?
16:39Mrs. Adcock said you would.
16:42Said I would what?
16:44Regret marrying me.
16:56Mrs. Adcock said that most gentlemen who pay for a wife regret the purchase in the end.
17:04It was blatantly obvious she was referring to our marriage settlement.
17:09Mrs. Adcock had mentioned her sizable dowry at least a dozen times,
17:14so I happened to ask Lady Hedisham loudly enough for Mrs. Adcock to hear whether or not it seemed odd
17:23that some ladies found it necessary to offer money to prospective bridegroom in order to bring him up to scratch.
17:31No gentleman would accept a horse so ill-recommended that he had to be bribed to accept it.
17:39I thought Mrs. Adcock's tea would come flying out her ears.
17:43She looked so livid.
17:46Will you compare her to a horse?
17:49I doubt even I could produce such a cunning retort on Persephone.
17:53I have not pulled caps with anyone in years.
17:56I'm not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it.
18:00I felt like a regular warrior.
18:04Perhaps before I next call at the vicarage, I should try on one of the suits of armor for size.
18:08I could check the armory for a jousting lance and simply unseat my adversary as she rides up to the
18:13vicarage.
18:14I would be the terror of the neighborhood.
18:19Well, if it comes to full combat, let me know.
18:22I'm rather handy with a crossbow.
18:24Maybe Harry could be our page if we could go conquer Adcock Manor.
18:27Well, Harry would make an abysmal page.
18:31You might be trusted with a battle axe, though.
18:36We would make a wonderfully fearsome team.
18:41You see, Adam, marriage to me might not be such a terrible thing for you after all.
19:06You see, Adam, marriage to me.
19:24You wish it a ride today, Your Grace?
19:27His alibi is still unhappy.
19:29You said he doesn't like the cold?
19:31No, it's not just the cold.
19:33He was treated badly before.
19:35He doesn't trust people.
19:38Because they treated him bad before, they'll treat him bad again.
19:41But no one here would ever hurt him.
19:43Nah, it doesn't matter.
19:45They'll not give you a chance to...
19:47I'll fight you till holy perdition, that one.
19:51It seems like a lost cause.
19:54Why keep trying?
19:55There's no lost causes, Your Grace.
19:58Every creature needs someone who can save them.
20:01If they'll only try.
20:03There's many hope when you're the sort who tries.
20:07This poor creature seems so angry.
20:13More afraid than furious.
20:16Been afraid for years.
20:19Why?
20:21What happened?
20:25Got torn apart and left behind.
20:27Decided to bite before anyone bit first.
20:31If nobody gets close.
20:35Nobody can hurt him.
20:51Welcome back.
20:52Good morning, Super Sepity.
20:54Good morning.
20:56Good morning, Adam.
20:58Good morning.
20:59Are you wanting to ride?
21:00I was thinking about it.
21:02If you do, I fear we'll be forced to postpone our siege.
21:06You two are planning a siege.
21:12Why do I get the feeling my presence is not particularly appreciated just now?
21:16I would think, Harry, that you would feel that way often.
21:20If you go now, you'll have plenty of time to pack.
21:22But you'll miss me.
21:23I never miss anyone.
21:28Hmm.
21:49Your name is on the lips of every member of the tomb.
21:52Well, some are saying that Persephone has left you already.
21:56Thank you, Mother.
22:00Madam?
22:02May I talk with you for a moment?
22:09Mrs. Smithson skipped this room when she gave me my tour.
22:13I haven't ever been in here.
22:17No one ever comes into this room.
22:20I am overstepping myself.
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:36Who is this you're standing beside, Adam?
22:39My father.
22:41I thought he must be.
22:43You look very much like him.
22:46Do I?
22:47You have the same eyes.
22:50And there is something similar about your mouth and the shape of your face.
22:54And, of course, you both have dark hair.
22:57I suppose there is a resemblance.
23:02Your nose is your mother's.
23:04I noticed that when I first saw the two of you together.
23:11Are you like him in other ways?
23:13My father?
23:15Hmm.
23:19I hope so.
23:27You wanted to speak to me about something.
23:32The Triumphant will make port the last week of November.
23:36Linus will be granted three weeks, surely.
23:38Isn't that wonderful?
23:39Yes.
23:40The Triumphant will be docking at Newcastle.
23:42I could be there and see him before he departs for Shropshire.
23:46Be there?
23:48In Newcastle?
23:49I wouldn't be gone more than a day or two.
23:51Of course, I would want to see him off as well,
23:53which would mean going back when the Triumphant sets out again.
23:57You cannot go.
24:03Please, Adam.
24:06It would only be a few days.
24:08I...
24:10I need to see him for myself.
24:12I need to know that he is well and whole.
24:15To have even a moment with the only brother I have left.
24:18This is important to me, Adam.
24:22Things of importance to me should matter.
24:29I don't know.
24:31What if he came here?
24:33But you don't allow visitors.
24:35It makes more sense than you journeying to Newcastle twice.
24:38Linus could come to Fauston before going to see your family.
24:41Do you mean it?
24:43I don't say anything.
24:44I don't mean.
24:46It wouldn't be too much of an imposition.
24:50I'd very much like to meet the boy myself.
24:53Really?
24:54Linus might make a great addition to our siege.
24:58Harry would probably faint dead away at the first battle cry.
25:06Thank you, Adam.
25:21Why do you never leave?
25:24Good afternoon to you, too.
25:28Answer the question.
25:30Is this a pointed interrogation?
25:33Or of an intellectual discussion?
25:34Intellectual discussion.
25:39Why do I never leave?
25:43Because I like Fauston.
25:44Why?
25:44Free food.
25:45I'm in earnest.
25:46I need you to be as well.
25:47The food is nothing to disregard.
25:48Cook is a miracle worker.
25:54Aside from that,
25:57Fauston is familiar.
25:58It's comfortable.
26:00So you feel the same way about the house in London?
26:03You spend a lot of time there as well.
26:04And you've come with me to Kent a few times.
26:07This is a pointed interrogation, isn't it?
26:11Look, if you were trying to tell me to make myself scarce
26:13now that you're married, I completely understand.
26:14No, it's not that at all.
26:19Then what is it?
26:24I want to know
26:26why you've stayed around all these years.
26:30We're friends, Adam.
26:32Friends don't just jump ship.
26:34I think your answer about the food was more honest.
26:37Did it ever occur to you
26:38that I sincerely consider you a friend?
26:45My best friend, in fact.
26:49Because of Harrow?
26:52You may have started that way.
26:54You saved my skin.
26:57So I worshipped you for a while.
27:00You're like an idol.
27:01You could ward off evil spirits, I suppose.
27:05But then...
27:08Then you landed me a face of something stupid I did.
27:12Or said.
27:13I remember that quite well, but not what we were scuffling out.
27:16And we were sent down.
27:18My parents were away, so...
27:20We came here.
27:23In those two weeks of our expulsion
27:26I met
27:28Adam Boyce
27:29The Duke of Kilda
27:32Still scared the guts out of me
27:34But Adam Boyce
27:37was just a boy
27:38like me
27:42Why the sudden interest
27:44in our colorful childhood?
27:47I don't know
28:11It looks frigid out there
28:13Doesn't it?
28:15It does.
28:16It does.
28:19Persephone looks cold, Adam.
28:22You should go and keep her warm.
28:25Keep her?
28:27The fact of my suggestion confuses you
28:30Does not bode well.
28:33My friend
28:36It didn't...
28:40It didn't confuse me.
28:57She is lonely
28:58In this empty castle
29:03Just as mother was
29:15I heard them out of the walls
29:17They're inside Fauston
29:18They are still outside the castle
29:19They're so loud
29:20They sound so much closer
29:21They are not inside the castle walls
29:24Persephone
29:24Are you certain?
29:27Absolutely
29:29I have tea sent up to my book room
29:31Yes, Ygris
29:43I know
29:44I shouldn't be so afraid of them
29:46But the howling
29:48Sends chills through me
29:51I will have my steward check on the pack
29:53So you can breathe more easily
29:54I had always been told
29:56That there were no more wolves in England
30:00Our pack is descended from the last of the wolves
30:02That roamed the area
30:04And the wild dogs that called the forest home
30:07Are they less vicious than true wolves then?
30:13They are more wolf than anything else
30:16But they always give the castle a wide berth
30:30I think
30:34I think we should hold a ball
30:36A ball?
30:37Unless you don't want to
30:38I assumed you wouldn't want to
30:40It would mean a lot of people in the castle
30:47Every bride
30:48Should have a ball
30:51We are still in mourning
30:55I think a wedding ball
30:58Would be permissible
31:01Do you mean
31:07You don't say things you don't mean
31:11No
31:15No, I don't
31:19Yes
31:19Adam
31:21We should host a ball at Fauston
31:27Adam suggested it
31:29Adam
31:31Is in the Adam I know
31:33I am as surprised as you are
31:36He's been doing a lot of uncharacteristic things lately
31:39Barton says Cook is in tears
31:41What did you do to her?
31:43I didn't do anything to her
31:44She was informed about the upcoming ball
31:46She's that upset about it
31:47She's that pleased about it
31:48She's been reduced to weeping at the kitchen work table
31:51How has the rest of the staff reacted?
31:54Mrs. Smithson is rushing about as though the ball is this evening
31:56Instead of three weeks from now
31:58And Barton has simply begun grinning when he thinks I'm not looking
32:01Three weeks from now?
32:02But Adam Linus is coming in three weeks' time
32:05Please tell me you haven't changed your mind about his visit
32:07Of course not, Persephone
32:09He can be here for the ball
32:14Why the sudden urge to entertain, Adam?
32:17First, you invite Persephone's brother
32:20And the ball will bring every family of consequence in the northern half of England to Fauston at the same
32:25time
32:26That is precisely the sort of thing that makes you miserable
32:29I don't want you to be miserable
32:30I will not be miserable
32:32You will simply make the rest of us miserable
32:35Perhaps you should put an end to the entire thing and save us the suffering
32:38Shut up, Harry
32:42Harry is not nearly persuasive enough to convince me to cancel Linus' visit
32:47There is no need to worry over that
32:49But there is
32:50You tell me to trust you, but I don't know that I can
32:54There is so much I don't know about you, Adam
32:56So much I don't understand
32:58And that frightens me
33:02I frighten you?
33:03That isn't what I said
33:04It really isn't
33:05Shut up, Harry
33:06I am happy to see I am a unifying force
33:11At the moment, Harry Windover, you are a frustrating force
33:14Harry, now would be a perfect opportunity for a timely exit
33:17In taken
33:24I have faults, Persephone
33:26Like any other man
33:29But I am not a liar
33:32I was raised by a man who valued honesty
33:36And loyalty
33:37And keeping one's word
33:41Now I have promised you that your brother will visit you here
33:43And that Fauston Castle will host a ball
33:46And no one, not Harry, not anyone else
33:48Will browbeat me into going back on that promise to you
33:53On any promise to you
33:57I want to believe that
33:58And your happiness does matter
34:02You should believe that, too
34:06I am beginning to
34:28Good afternoon
34:30You look a bit unwell, poor boy
34:34I am fine
34:35I was just telling Persephone of all the wonderful balls we used to have here at the castle
34:41Even the London papers were full of every detail of the evening
34:45Who attended, the decorations, the menu
34:51Full stone balls were positively legendary
34:55I am certain our ball will be far less elaborate
34:57Well, that's why I've rushed back
34:59It could be extraordinary
35:01A few changes to the menu
35:03Perhaps a more dramatic decorating scheme
35:06It is enough that there will be people here
35:09That should be plenty to fill the London papers with pages of shocked commentary
35:15The castle's always been more pleasant when it's been festive
35:19Mrs. Smithson and I have discussed the menu and the preparations
35:22I am quite satisfied with what we've chosen
35:25Hmm, satisfied and pleased are not the same thing
35:31You'll be desperate to leave before long if something's not done to liven the place
35:35We are holding a ball, Mother
35:37There has always been enough festiveness for you to return to Fauston
35:42It sounds to me like it's hardly a ball
35:48I... I suppose the arrangements could be made a bit more extensive
35:56I assure you both
35:57I am satisfied and pleased with our current arrangements
36:01They suit my preferences
36:03You really must let me help with future entertainments
36:07We could hold ever so many
36:09Both here and in London
36:11You'll have far too much fun to be unhappy
36:17Please excuse me
36:26All of the balls you held for Mother
36:28Weren't enough to keep her here
36:29So why the blasted blazes am I trying the same approach?
36:33Dukes don't need people, you said
36:34We're better off without her
36:38Persephone will leave too in the end
36:40Everyone does
36:46You will hurt your hand if you keep doing that
36:52Go at your dinner, Persephone
36:55I intend to
36:59On the desk we'll be fine
37:04I'm not hungry
37:06Perhaps not, but I am
37:10Thank you
37:16Mother
37:16Is taking her meal with Harry
37:19I am eating here
37:21No one eats in this room
37:23You would rather I starve?
37:25If you are truly on the verge of expiring
37:27Then by all means
37:30Take some nourishment
37:42Blasted
37:44Does smell good, doesn't it?
37:45What a shame you aren't hungry
37:47Is that a hint, Persephone?
37:49A hint?
37:51You are trying to convince me to join you
37:54This is for me
37:55If you want something
37:55You will have to send to the kitchen for it yourself
38:01You plan to eat an entire chicken?
38:03It is not an entire chicken
38:05I'm not such a very large one at that
38:07In fact, it is a very good thing
38:09There is plenty to go with it
38:11Otherwise I would be in very real danger of wasting away
38:23You didn't expect me to eat an entire chicken
38:26Did you?
38:38Thank you
38:39For the dinner, Persephone
38:42Thank you for allowing the ball
38:45For inviting Linus to visit
38:49It is nice having something to look forward to
39:06Would you like having more balls
39:08And entertainments?
39:12I would now and then
39:16But I miss my family more than I miss company
39:20They are so very far away
39:22It sometimes feels as though
39:24I'll never see them again
39:28They may very well go to London for the season
39:31You could see them there
39:33You could see a lot of people there
39:36That should tide you over for a while
39:40I would have to get my fill then
39:41I suppose
39:42But just want to make a big roll
39:42acceptance
39:42You could see it
39:42As it always
39:42if you have to put his
39:44Make a fill
39:44I want the
39:45About my fill
39:45And the cut
39:45It is really
39:45I want to make the fill
39:45It is sobig
39:45was there
