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