00:25John, please have Atlas saddled, I wish to ride to the vicarage.
00:29First ride outside the castle gates.
00:32I'm ready.
00:33Very good, you guys.
01:14Oh, where is this going to go?
01:24Oh, have you found her?
01:26Oh, Grace, we're riding to the vicarage, and Atlas bolted without warning.
01:32She's not that good a rider yet, and I'm afraid she might have become unseated.
01:36And what with that pack sound so close and angry?
01:38Missephanie!
01:39She's not answering.
01:43Missephanie!
02:04We need to find the pack!
02:06I'll stick with that myself, you Grace!
02:19Oh, steady, steady, steady, steady.
02:24I heard that too, you Grace.
02:26We're getting closer.
02:57I heard that too.
03:01We're getting closer.
03:03We're getting closer.
03:06We're getting closer.
03:27I think we're going to have to find the pack with you.
03:42To me, Persephone!
03:44Adam!
03:45Stay next to me! Stay next to me!
03:53John, interrupt to me.
03:56Take Atlas back if you can.
03:58We'll be quick about it. The pack wants to spook for long.
04:02Seven, arms around me.
04:04Hold fast. When we reach the road,
04:05we are going to run.
04:27Everyone is to beyond.
04:28The packs and the yards are the castles.
04:30But John Hanley is through that gate.
04:32They have to be closed immediately.
04:33Yes, sir.
04:34I'm so dizzy.
04:34Can you walk?
04:35I think so.
04:43She was thrown from a horse out in the forest.
04:45There's a possibility she's broken her ankle.
04:47Should have a surgeon sent for.
04:48No, the wolves are prowling just outside the gate.
04:50It isn't safe for anyone to go in a row.
04:52They've never done that before.
04:54Persephone?
04:55Yes.
04:55Where is Mother?
04:56Drawing room.
04:57Okay.
04:58Send her up to Persephone's room.
05:11Are we safe now?
05:13Yes.
05:15I was afraid no one would find me.
05:21That's what happens.
05:22Mother, I need your help.
05:23There's blood on her.
05:24Riding her bed.
05:26Mother?
05:28Help her to a seat, Harry.
05:32Madam?
05:35Can you take my boot off?
05:37It's too tight.
05:47Adam, she needs a surgeon.
05:49I know.
05:51Bring me boiling water.
05:53And the strongest brandy Barton can find.
05:55Go.
05:56Don't be, Harry.
06:00You'll have to cut it.
06:02Mother, could you find me some scissors?
06:04Look.
06:12Hold her still.
06:13I don't want to accidentally cut her.
06:29Yeah.
06:34Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm trying to be gentle.
06:39I don't want to be gentle.
07:09Oh, my God.
07:39Adam?
07:51Yes, dear.
07:54Please stay with me.
08:02If you'll stay with me.
08:15Barton said you wanted to speak with me.
08:19How is it, Grace?
08:21Sleeping.
08:23I know it ain't seem to me talking to you in here, but...
08:28Well, I think I know...
08:31I have an idea why the pack attacked Atlas.
08:34And I thought you might want to know sooner than later,
08:37even if telling you means overstepping yourself a bit.
08:39You aren't overstepping.
08:41What have you discovered?
08:43While we were cleaning Atlas' wounds,
08:45we couldn't help but notice that she smelled strongly of bacon.
08:50Of bacon?
08:51It might be why the wolves attacked Atlas,
08:54but weren't so intent on getting the meat on my horse or at Ewan's house.
08:59Grace might have picked up some of that smell.
09:02That'd be why they were hunting her.
09:06Talk with your staff.
09:08See what you can find out.
09:10If it played any role in this attack, any,
09:13I do not want the same mistake to occur again.
09:16Yes, you could.
09:19John?
09:36Adam.
09:40May I speak with you, please?
09:45Perhaps you should sit down.
09:47I'm so sorry, Adam.
09:50I know you wished me to help with Persephone.
09:53You must be so disappointed.
09:54Sit down, mother.
09:59Sometimes you're so like your father.
10:01Dear man.
10:04Are you unwell?
10:06I'm so mortified.
10:10You see, I've always been hopeless in a sick room.
10:14Even as a child, when anyone in the household would get so much as a cold,
10:17I would fret our dear nurse into a fit of nerves.
10:21And my mother always told me
10:24it would be different when I was a mother.
10:30You must be so ashamed of me.
10:34Being so utterly useless when you were depending on me.
10:37There was a great deal of blood earlier with Persephone.
10:40I do not blame you for not being up to the task.
10:46Well, I'm certain I only made the situation worse.
10:50I always did.
10:53The second surgeon actually sent me to the vicarage for two days.
10:58Banished.
10:59From my own home.
11:01From my poor boy.
11:03You banished?
11:04The second surgeon?
11:05I'm certain I made it worse.
11:08I was so nervous, so concerned through the first one.
11:13The first surgery.
11:13And I didn't get better.
11:16Worse, in fact.
11:19The next few surgeons insisted I be gone before they even arrived.
11:22You are referring to the surgeons who did this.
11:27And I was grateful to go.
11:31Happy to.
11:34What kind of an unnatural mother wishes to leave her child at such a time?
11:39I think that-
11:50Persephone is asking for you.
11:52She seems anxious.
12:15What is it, Persephone?
12:18I've been thinking back on my ride.
12:20Well, surely that can wait until you're more fully rested.
12:23What happened today, I don't believe, was an accident.
12:30What has led you to that suspicion?
12:33John didn't help me mount.
12:37Usually the stable hand waits for him, but this time he didn't.
12:41And the stable hand who helped me smelled like-
12:45Bacon?
12:46How did you know?
12:48Was it a faint aroma?
12:51No.
12:52At first I thought perhaps he'd been helping in the curing house,
12:56or had slipped in a lard spill in the kitchen.
12:58The scent was so strong I could still smell it.
13:01While you were riding.
13:04Exactly.
13:07The groom who helps you mount, does he assist you often?
13:10Occasionally.
13:11Do you know his name?
13:13He wears a green handkerchief round his neck.
13:18John Henley will know who it is.
13:21You're going to talk to him?
13:22That groom, I mean?
13:24If he had any hand in this, I plan to do far more than just talk.
13:30What's the name of the groom who has a green handkerchief round his neck?
13:33Jimmy.
13:34He's a newer one.
13:35Quiet lake.
13:35Keeps to himself.
13:36Any idea where I might find this Jimmy?
13:38Last I saw of him, he was at the back of the stable.
13:41He helped to craze him out this morning.
13:43He said he reeked of bacon more than could have been accidental.
13:45What on purpose then?
13:46That's what I mean to find out.
13:47There he is.
13:49Jimmy!
13:51Smith!
13:52Do not let him get past the gate!
13:54Stop it!
14:20This woman is Mr. Smith who tried to kill my wife.
14:26You took the only thing that mattered to me.
14:29Just trying to repay the favour, Gav.
14:32You'll answer this?
14:33Oh no.
14:33I have a better idea.
14:38Put him in the gibbet.
14:41You can't do that!
14:43You have to consult the law!
14:45I am the Duke of Kilda!
14:47I am the law!
14:49No!
14:50No!
14:51No!
15:01I am the king!
15:05No!
15:09No!
15:12No!
15:15We have to retain the law!
15:18No!
15:18No!
15:18You are not.
15:34Dukes aren't supposed to need people for suffering.
16:18Dukes aren't supposed to need people for suffering.
16:28Dukes aren't supposed to need people for suffering.
16:29I like Faustin.
16:30So do I, Linus.
16:33Then why don't you look happy?
16:36Probably because I'm in pain.
16:39I had no idea how long a few simple cuts could take to heal.
16:42I understand they weren't simple at all.
16:46Considering it might have befallen me, I think of my injuries as comparatively simple.
16:53It is so good to have you here.
16:59I'm happy to see you again.
17:01Don't...
17:03I already missed a sea.
17:07If I don't...
17:08I never missed home.
17:15I believe he is home now.
17:17And he is within the wall.
17:28Midshipman Lancaster.
17:30If I had known that your intention in visiting here was to make your sister cry, I would not have
17:35invited you.
17:36You guessed why devious flocked with alarming precision, Your Grace.
17:40Every young navy man wishes to bring their female relatives into varying states of hysteria on every possible occasion.
17:46And apparently, you are also intent on bringing Persephone down to her deathbed.
17:52Alas, it is true.
17:53Though I have momentarily forgotten how I intend to do this.
17:57By keeping her out of doors, and in the cold, instead of inside, warm and off her feet.
18:03Oh, yes, I remember now.
18:05Well, I suppose, since you have guessed my plot, I shall have to abandon my ill-fated scheme.
18:10It was inevitable.
18:19Oh, thank you.
18:28I will see you inside, Linus.
18:34You seem pleased.
18:36I've missed my brother.
18:39He's not at all what I expected.
18:42Your description was of an infant.
18:44Imagine my shock when he walked out of a carriage.
18:47No leading strings or nursemaids in sight.
18:50Adam Boyce, are you teasing me?
18:52I never tease.
18:54You also, apparently, never host balls.
18:58Yet you are doing exactly that tomorrow.
19:01Clearly, I have begun a descent into senulity.
19:05You are in the oddest mood this evening.
19:10You have no idea.
19:17To go!
19:49Persephone seems to be wondering where you are.
19:51Has she asked after me?
19:55Just the look on her face.
19:57We could always tell growing up when she was worrying about one of us.
20:02She must have worried a lot.
20:04Persephone held with the family together after Muammar died.
20:09How old was she?
20:11Twelve.
20:13She very suddenly lost what was left of her childhood.
20:17You did as well.
20:19Her life these past eight years has been one unending sacrifice for the sake of the family.
20:26Including her marriage?
20:31Do you know why my papa named Persephone as he did?
20:35Obsession with all things Greek.
20:37Other than that, the story of Persephone is his favourite.
20:43Seems an odd favourite to me.
20:46Not when you look at it as he does.
20:48The part counts himself amongst the scholars of the classics who believe that Hades didn't trick Persephone at all.
20:54And that they both decided together that she'd eat the pomegranate seeds.
20:58Because it meant that nothing could prevent Persephone from returning to him.
21:04But why would she return?
21:06It was the reason for her return.
21:08That indeed the goddess of my father.
21:11The seeds?
21:12The seeds were symbolic.
21:14Symbolic of what?
21:28I know disappearing balls is one of your particular talents.
21:32But it does not reflect well on your wife.
21:35You really ought to go and sit beside her.
21:37What I really ought to do is hang you out your bedchamber windows by a bed sheet wrapped around your
21:41ankles.
21:43Welcome back, old friend.
21:46You've been shockingly softening.
21:48Oh, shut up.
21:49Harry!
21:50Harry!
21:54Harry!
22:18What do the pomegranate seeds symbolize?
22:20What?
22:22In the Persephone myth, Linus said the seeds are symbols.
22:27Has he been waxing philosophical?
22:29That is the one trait he inherited from Papa.
22:34What do they symbolize?
22:37According to Papa, the seeds are symbolic of love.
22:41Hades' love for Persephone, her love for him.
22:45How could she love someone who kept her prisoner?
22:49Papa always believed she came to know him beyond his fearsome demeanor and came to love him.
22:54Hades fell in love with Persephone as well.
22:56She was his match.
22:59But if they were so in love, then why did she leave at all?
23:04If she had eaten all the seeds, she would have stayed forever.
23:08Hades did not force her to remain because her family needed her.
23:13Hades never let anyone leave his realm.
23:17Hades loved Persephone.
23:24He let her go because he loved her.
23:28She returned because she loved him.
23:32Hades'!
24:10Thank you for the ball, Adam.
24:14It was wonderful.
24:17You were happy.
24:20You weren't disappointed.
24:24What?
24:27What more were you hoping for?
24:32I've never danced at a ball.
24:36Very often imagined doing so.
24:39I had no intention of asking you to do yet another unpleasant thing today.
24:43And yet...
24:47I would enjoy dancing with you.
24:50You would endure it, I'm certain.
25:05I want to dance with you.
25:08The musicians have all left.
25:11We don't need them.
25:18But my leg is...
25:22It's still too weak to hold me for long.
25:26Then allow me to hold you?
25:30The music is...
25:31I'm certain.
25:50It's still you.
25:50The music is over.
26:07Linus leaves for Stropfer in the morning to visit your family.
26:13Yes, I know.
26:15You will be leaving with him.
26:17That was not the plan.
26:18It should have been.
26:20It should always have been.
26:23The two of you can depart immediately following breakfast in the morning.
26:28Will you be journeying with us?
26:33I belong at Fauston Castle.
26:41And where do I belong?
26:51Your family needs you.
26:54And what about you, Adam?
27:01Do you still need a nun?
27:22I'm looking for the women.
27:23I'm looking for you.
27:41you'd best not keep the horses standing mother
27:43it'll only take a moment
27:45and it is more important than me
27:47making a timely departure
27:51your father and I
27:53had an arranged marriage
27:56no accounting was made
27:57for the differences in our dispositions
28:00I was raised in town
28:02among society
28:06London
28:07the ton
28:08it's what I knew and needed
28:11your father was raised here
28:14in quiet and solitude
28:18we wanted very different things in life
28:24we tried to compromise
28:27to blend our preferences
28:31but he begrudged the balls and gatherings held here
28:34and came to rather despise my need for company
28:39he wouldn't have
28:40I will admit
28:42I likewise began to view my relationship to Halston and
28:46by extension him
28:50through a lens of bitterness
28:52I do not wish to hear this
28:54resentment grows quickly
28:55Adam
28:59your father was a good man
29:00despite his implacableness
29:05I held out hope for so long
29:08in my foolishly romantic heart
29:11that he would come for me while I was away
29:15he never did
29:18did you tell him
29:19that that was what you were hoping for
29:23I was so young
29:25only seventeen when we married
29:27in my naivete
29:30I believed that if he truly cared
29:32he would
29:33meet me part way
29:37you
29:38are more willing to compromise
29:40than your father ever was
29:43and Persephone is more suited
29:45to quiet and solitude
29:46than I ever will be
29:49she is your match
29:51Adam
29:53do not throw away this chance
29:55by making her guess
29:56at your feelings
30:22she has a point
30:23you know
30:27every other guest has left the castle
30:28Harry
30:30why haven't you
30:33I am here to be your conscience
30:36to save you
30:38from yourself
30:42she will come back
30:47when Linus returns to his ship
30:49Persephone will return to Falstern
30:52and I know you well enough to predict
30:53that you will act as though
30:54you couldn't care less
30:55whether she is here or not
30:59do you really want her to wonder about that
31:02this is none of your concern
31:03Harry
31:10you miss her
31:12and she deserves to know that
31:16she is happy
31:17with her family
31:18I think I'll be part of her family
31:20who disrupts it
31:21that isn't how it works
31:24how it works
31:28Persephone receives her reprieve
31:31and Hades stays in the underworld
31:33waiting to see if the seeds work
31:36obviously you were
31:37sleeping during that
31:39lecture at Harrow
31:42Hades does not sit back
31:43and wait for Persephone
31:45when the time came
31:46Hades slipped past
31:48the hellhounds
31:49and ventured into the realm
31:50of the living
31:51to reclaim his bride
31:54I do not remember that
31:58Hades was no
31:59Pamsi Fribble
32:00Adam
32:02and I'd bet
32:03that only his Persephone
32:05knew exactly how her husband
32:07felt about her
32:22that was not
32:22it was no
32:24I've had it
32:25it was no
32:34I'm sorry
32:34it was just that
32:34I don't have it
32:35but I'll be the same
32:35because he was
32:35we were
32:35he was
32:37I was
32:37I was
32:37I was
32:46Are you sure you're warm enough?
32:49I'm dressed as warmly as I am at home.
32:51It is far colder there.
32:53You speak very fondly of Fullstone Castle.
32:56I've come to love it, Athena.
32:59More than just the castle.
33:02I hope I'm not out of line in saying that
33:06you seem to miss the castle.
33:11I do.
33:13Then why do you seem so sad whenever anyone mentions you going back?
33:16I do not nearly think it is because you'll miss us.
33:20Probably because I'm not entirely certain what I will find when I return.
33:26You could always just stay here.
33:30My heart is there.
33:34I hope the castle knows how fortunate he is.
33:58Adam.
34:02How have you come to take me home?
34:05When you're ready.
34:08But I...
34:10I wanted to see Shropshire.
34:14To see where you grew up.
34:16You did?
34:19And...
34:21And get to know your family.
34:29Hades always went off to Persephone.
34:33Yes.
34:35He did.
34:39He waited as long as he had to.
34:42And then he left his kingdom and he did not come back until he found her.
34:48I think Hades must have missed his wife.
34:52I think he knew to the very minute how long she'd been gone.
34:57But was Persephone as anxious to return as he was to have her with him again?
35:01Yes.
35:03Yes.
35:03She was.
35:17Why did Hades go after her?
35:22He must have loved her.
35:24Go on.
35:25He did.
35:26He did more than he could even express.
35:29Yes.
35:34But...
35:37But did Persephone love him?
35:39In spite of his flaws.
35:42In spite of deserving so much better than he could ever offer.
35:46Oh, Adam.
35:48Am I too late?
35:50Is there nothing that I can...
35:51You said you belong at Forston.
35:55Only at Forston.
35:57But I belong with you.
36:19I do love you, Adam.
36:21Oh, Adam.
36:25Oh, Adam.
36:30Oh, Adam.
36:30Oh, Adam.
36:32Oh, Adam.
36:32Oh, Adam.
36:32The Tom will not believe it, even if they heard you say that.
36:36We shall have to convince them.
36:38We shall have to convince them.
36:39I may enjoy London yet.
36:42Does this mean I can come to your castle?
36:46Our castle is in need of a good exploration.
36:52Perhaps if you have no other plans for Christmas, you could undertake one then.
