00:00:22You, 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.
00:01:01Colin, 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.
00:01:14I will never forgive you.
00:01:17I have to make a big deal.
00:01:19Come on.
00:01:26Shh.
00:01:31Hold your whistle.
00:01:32Stand your whistle.
00:01:33Go on.
00:01:35Come on.
00:01:38Go on.
00:01:41Go on.
00:01:43Come on.
00:01:44Come on.
00:01:47Dearest gentle reader, if you thought that revealing my true identity would stifle me,
00:01:54guess again.
00:02:00I fear no reproach as now you know I write to you from one of the most reputable houses
00:02:05in Mayfair.
00:02:08Certainly no house is perfect, though there are some that purport to be.
00:02:17Take 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.
00:03:00The lies she writes.
00:03:04Whistledown is here.
00:03:05I feel 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.
00:03:19Dearest gentle reader.
00:03:23It seems someone has been impersonating me.
00:03:28And so I can no longer sit idly by.
00:03:34This author is not interested in judging what one does out of desperation.
00:03:41But gossip as I might, I always tell the truth.
00:03:45And 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
00:04:03repay to Lord Samson this week.
00:04:06Or the fact that Mrs. Newham unceremoniously dismissed her maid yesterday for the simple
00:04:13act of asking for a day off.
00:04:17And I will not even mention the small cruelties Mr. Davidson's wife endures daily.
00:04:24Except, I suppose, I just did.
00:04:26I say this all to remind you that this author, the true Lady Whistledown, is always paying
00:04:34attention.
00:04:36Something that I believe Miss 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.
00:05:47It's a good thing Miss Cowper's Whistledown spectacle has been settled, so now everyone
00:05:53can 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
00:06:17or an answer-and-full once.
00:06:19I'm starting to think I'm clever.
00:06:21You are, my love.
00:06:22I 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 no 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 nice, I should read it then.
00:06:53I could use as a distraction.
00:06:55Good day.
00:06:56Good day, Penelope.
00:06:58Good day, Penelope.
00:06:59I will be reading this over there.
00:07:06Pen, 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 grincing again.
00:07:12Eloise, he knows.
00:07:15He probably 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 do not know what to do.
00:07:31I cannot help you with this, Penelope.
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.
00:07:41You did meet Colin first.
00:07:43It was a silly infatuation then, which turned into a real friendship by the time.
00:07:50You were the truest friend I have ever known, Elle.
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.
00:08:11Does 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 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.
00:09:02I 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.
00:10:01Hmm.
00:10:15How 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 broken hearted to speak of it.
00:10:42I have been trying to make her tell you, and 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.
00:11:27You have never been in love.
00:11:28You have never been in love.
00:11:30There you go.
00:11:36I'm nervous.
00:11:39You're nervous.
00:11:42Nice to sit.
00:11:47Here we are.
00:11:50Um, in here for the wedding breakfast, do you think it's 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, will you at least look at me?
00:12:12My mother was curious about our not seeing each other recently and 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 did not mean to entrap you, Colin. I love you.
00:12:38What will this marriage be?
00:12:40That depends. I 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.
00:13:33Yes.
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.
00:13:52Sir.
00:13:53Sir, you had a caller while you were out. She 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.
00:14:18But then we were caught, as it were.
00:14:23What 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?
00:15:05Why not?
00:15:08This world of ours, as far as we know it, spans thousands of miles,
00:15:12encompassing however many millions of people.
00:15:15And yet we are all bred to believe that the only persons worth conversing with
00:15:19are 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, whatever their sex, is the most natural thing in the world.
00:15:56If you did not feel anything with Mr. Suarez, let us, you and I, continue on our own.
00:16:07But you should know.
00:16:10My staff are very discreet.
00:16:13My staff are very discreet.
00:16:14My staff are very discreet.
00:16:50Thank you very well.
00:16:52Thank you very well.
00:17:13cake, tea. Oh, I would be delighted.
00:17:35How are you? Well, I am, well, Francesca is keeping her distance from me at the
00:17:41moment. Did I tell you that she and Lord Kilmartin have been secretly engaged?
00:17:45I did not hear. Congratulations. Thank you. Though we are waiting on the blessing of the
00:17:51Queen before announcing it. That's a wait that made me rather lengthy, unfortunately.
00:17:56You know, Aristotle says, patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
00:18:09Lady Bridgerton, once Francesca and Lord Kilmartin's affairs are in order,
00:18:16do you think perhaps the two of us could explore something together?
00:18:28I am not uninterested in exploration. But I will not know if I'm ready for
00:18:34that until after the affairs are in order. Especially because I am not the only one whose
00:18:42affairs need ordering.
00:18:58We received a letter back from Aunt Joanna. She 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. You must put an end to this.
00:19:10There is nothing I can do. Your father has threatened to send me to the countryside as well,
00:19:16if I intervene. If I too am banished, there is no hope of ever bringing you back to society.
00:19:22But we did this together. I did tell you to avoid that Bridgerton girl. Had you listened,
00:19:29I doubt any of this would have occurred. Why did we have to write such cruel
00:19:33things about the Bridgertons' mama? Could we not have picked another family?
00:19:38The Bridgertons so often feature in Whistledown that it would have been
00:19:41strange not to mention them. It certainly didn't hurt bringing them down a peg.
00:19:50Why is that your concern now? Perhaps I was wrong to turn on Eloise.
00:20:02She is the one person who has ever shown me true friendship.
00:20:06And 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,
00:20:18especially amongst women?
00:20:23Yes, you have.
00:20:26You 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
00:20:47before its wedding, it runs the risk of being shut. Then keep up with me so there might be other
00:20:52slower targets. I 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. But 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. Lord Kilmartin, our mother adores you.
00:21:15But our mother also has an obsession with great love stories.
00:21:18What should he do? Give the man some practical advice?
00:21:22Frankly, you might consider doing something foolish, something bold.
00:21:26Declare yourself. Throw rocks at Francesca's window tonight.
00:21:32Your problem is that you are trying much too hard to be respectful.
00:21:36Bold.
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. It is strange to be drinking in another man's club.
00:21:54No. Mrs Mondridge and I have had a social calendar full this week. I am spent.
00:21:59I shall see you tomorrow, bright and early.
00:22:04Perhaps that is our cue.
00:22:07You go. I could use a moment on my own.
00:22:12Is everything well?
00:22:38I 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.
00:22:59But how are you?
00:23:02I'm relieved.
00:23:04In a way.
00:23:06It's 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.
00:23:50Will you keep publishing?
00:23:54I fell back this week.
00:23:56For Colin's sake.
00:23:58But I tried giving it up before we found out and
00:24:03I felt like I was losing a part of myself.
00:24:06There is no such thing as true love
00:24:09without first embracing your true self.
00:24:16Happy Mother's Eve.
00:24:22Oh!
00:24:40Happy Mother's Eve.
00:25:10Happy Mother's Eve.
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
00:25:17secret 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 are 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?
00:25:50What?
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.
00:25:56I know.
00:25:57Or do you not respect me enough?
00:26:00It is clear you do not, after what you have written about me this year,
00:26:03that 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, acting as if you care for no one and need nothing.
00:26:19It's you.
00:26:21Kind and feeling, occasionally excitable, good-hearted man who I love.
00:26:26I should have told you myself there are so many things I should have done myself,
00:26:30and now with the confidence you have helped me find this year, I am finally able to.
00:26:35So then you do not need Whistledown anymore?
00:26:39I do not need to hide behind Whistledown anymore, but I am not saying there is not any value in
00:26:44it.
00:26:47Do you know what is most humiliating?
00:26:49I let you talk so much about my journal as if I were to be this great writer,
00:26:55when all this time you have been a published writer, renowned across Mayfair.
00:27:01Colin, I meant everything I said about your writing.
00:27:03You are putting yourself in danger being out here tonight,
00:27:05and you have been putting yourself in danger living this double life all along.
00:27:08I have been careful.
00:27:09You have been foolish.
00:27:11Colin, 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.
00:27:30Colin, I love you.
00:27:43Stay still.
00:28:06I shall see you tomorrow.
00:28:43Oh, there you are. We were debating going to bed.
00:28:46It's just very late, Colin.
00:28:48Late?
00:28:50Where have you been?
00:28:53What am I? Chopped liver?
00:28:57What are you both doing here?
00:28:58I 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.
00:29:06She 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.
00:29:27Two 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.
00:29:36You 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.
00:29:51Yes, but...
00:29:52I am no longer sure I truly know her.
00:29:57What happened?
00:30:02It 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?
00:30:21And 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.
00:30:31You are wearisome tonight.
00:30:36Well, perhaps it is the hour.
00:30:42I will see you at the church tomorrow.
00:30:46Goodnight.
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.
00:32:02To 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.
00:32:18A 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.
00:32:28For 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.
00:32:54The 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 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.
00:33:35I deeply hope you are a large part of.
00:33:43I do need to speak to the footmen.
00:33:45They 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.
00:34:13Yes, God.
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.
00:34:48But he says most of his buyers live in Mayfair.
00:34:50So he thinks...
00:34:52Well, Lady Whistledown must live there as well.
00:34:59We will look into it.
00:35:03Your Majesty, I 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.
00:35:22You see, Your Majesty, Lady Whistledown is a nom de plume.
00:35:28Which leads me to believe that she might be a man.
00:35:49That is the Lady Whistledown's name.
00:36:01Oh, that is Lady Barrigan, whose luncheon, do not forget, we failed to attend.
00:36:06And now she'll 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?
00:37:29Are you ready?
00:37:59Are you ready?
00:38:26Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God and this congregation
00:38:31to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:38:38Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together in the holy estate
00:38:46of matrimony?
00:38:47Wilt thou forsake all others, keeping thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
00:38:55I, Colin Bridgerton, take thee, Penelope Featherington, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold
00:39:07I, Penelope Featherington, take thee, Colin Bridgerton, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold
00:39:20with this ring I thee wed.
00:39:23With my body I thee worship.
00:39:26And by the joining of hands I now pronounce that they be man and wife together in the name
00:39:32of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
00:39:36Amen.
00:39:37Amen.
00:40:06Mama, you have outdone yourself.
00:40:09Do you like it?
00:40:10It's truly magnificent.
00:40:15Congratulations, Penelope.
00:40:17You do make an exceptionally fine bride.
00:40:25Oh.
00:40:29Would you like to say how you really feel now?
00:40:32That is how I really feel.
00:40:51It was the most beautiful wedding.
00:40:55And Penelope looked stunning.
00:40:57What do you expect?
00:40:58This is...
00:41:00Quite a wedding breakfast.
00:41:01Marcus and I entered together, but were quickly separated by the sheer volume of guests.
00:41:08Are you feeling in better spirits?
00:41:11I am.
00:41:13Making peace is a relief.
00:41:19Perhaps you should try it.
00:41:21That is my intention.
00:41:31Is all well with you?
00:41:35I saw you crying at the ceremony.
00:41:38Simply tears at losing another friend to marriage.
00:41:42Maybe it was dust.
00:41:43Yes.
00:41:46Which brother or sister do you like the best?
00:41:49Gregory, clearly.
00:41:51Oh, well, fair enough.
00:41:54But I know there is room enough in your heart for the rest of us.
00:41:59Love is not finite, Eloise.
00:42:05The friendship you have with Penelope is a lucky thing.
00:42:09As is the one you have with Colin.
00:42:15There's a lot of dust in here, too.
00:42:23Excuse me.
00:42:24I'm going to find some champagne.
00:43:01You'll see, miss.
00:43:02I need your help.
00:43:15We shall certainly try to be there.
00:43:18Yes, of course. Enjoy the party.
00:43:24Mr. and Mrs. Monteridge?
00:43:26Yes.
00:43:33When was your last letter from Marina?
00:43:35There was one waiting when we returned.
00:43:37She writes that her new husband is not only a reader,
00:43:41but has cultivated in her a love for the outdoors.
00:43:45Your sister?
00:43:46Shocking, I know. She has even been riding with him.
00:43:50I'm so envious.
00:43:52You cannot imagine how charming our town in India is.
00:43:56This 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. Before 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.
00:44:47They 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.
00:45:08Uh...
00:45:08Not any questions.
00:45:10Huh.
00:45:19Meta.
00:45:20How do you love your daughter?
00:45:22Go on.
00:45:34thank you for allowing me to work it out for myself well this wedding couldn't plan itself
00:45:41I've not had time to meddle
00:45:47whatever it is I know you won't resolve it the important part is that you're married now
00:46:10could we
00:46:15could we get away from here I have spent so long clinging to walls like this
00:46:19I do not wish to do that any longer when you propose we go perhaps
00:46:28to the center
00:46:33I do not think I have it in me to create any more guests
00:46:36then perhaps we could dance
00:46:39it is a wedding breakfast the sun is still out
00:46:42I realize that but I should like to dance with my husband
00:46:46in the light of day we can dance in a church we're not here
00:46:54very well
00:47:04so
00:47:57Lord, do you like to dance?
00:47:59Lord Gilmartin, I do not mean it.
00:48:03Why not?
00:48:05I did not think you were dance, sir.
00:48:08Perhaps not.
00:48:09But perhaps we should both be more bold in declaring ourselves.
00:48:38Thank you so much for having me.
00:48:42Oh, Lord Anderson, I am glad you have joined us.
00:48:47And, uh, 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.
00:49:09Oh, I think they move quite beautifully.
00:49:10No, no, them.
00:49:13Our family is happy and together.
00:49:18Do not take that for granted.
00:49:49Her Majesty, the Queen.
00:50:04Lady 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.
00:50:58The longer you delay, the greater my irritation.
00:51:04Step forward.
00:51:07Confess.
00:51:16It is I.
00:51:18I 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, but 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.
00:52:14And now, only when the Kalpa girl publishes lies about this very family, suddenly Whistledown rushes to print.
00:52:25Surely she suspected what Miss Kalpa 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.
00:53:42Eventually.
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.
00:54:45It will.
00:54:46It will be alright.
00:54:48It will be alright.
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?
00:55:27Well...
00:55:42I will.
00:55:43I will.
00:55:44I will.
00:55:44I will.
00:55:45I will.
00:55:48Bye.
00:55:49I will.
00:56:41Good evening, ma'am.
00:56:43Are you in need of directions?
00:56:45No.
00:56:46I'm here for my payment.
00:56:47Put 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?
00:57:18Good night.
00:57:30Good night.
00:57:33Good night.
