TVTranscript
00:01Dear Persephone, we've been home for two days now and I am nearly dead with boredom.
00:06Athena spends all her time practicing country dances.
00:10I do not think she will find a husband dancing like she does.
00:13No gentleman would want to marry someone who dances like a cow.
00:17I am running around like a heathen and terrorizing the neighborhood.
00:21It's lovely. I wish you were here so we could be heathens together.
00:26When can I come explore your towers?
00:28You did promise.
00:30I will have my birthday in London, Daphne says.
00:33I will invite you.
00:35If the Duke wants to come he can too, even if he never did talk to me once while I
00:39was at his castle.
00:41Please write to me. Be sure to put the guinea under the seal.
00:45Your sister Artemis.
00:51You seem in good spirits this afternoon.
00:54I've been reading a letter from my youngest sister, Mr. Windover.
00:58We are practically brother and sister.
01:01We needn't be on such formal terms.
01:04Do you miss your family, Harry?
01:06Being here as long as you have been?
01:09I consider Adam my brother.
01:12Being here is being with family.
01:17How is it that the two of you are so close?
01:20He is.
01:20He is so hostile towards you.
01:23Adam is hostile towards everyone.
01:25It is just the way he is.
01:28Does he never show any tenderness of feeling?
01:34Not in the two decades I've known him.
01:37And you forged a friendship with someone who was already adversarial?
01:43Adam saved my skin.
01:46I was something of a runt.
01:48And the other boys at Harrow found that grounds for torturing me.
01:53Adam would have stopped that.
01:55They took orders from him.
01:57They were afraid of him.
01:59They still are.
02:01Everyone is.
02:04But he would have only been seven or eight years old.
02:07Seven.
02:08He was a force to be reckoned with.
02:11By the time he was a shell, he ran Harrow.
02:15Shell?
02:15The youngest year.
02:17Some of the boys, now grown gentlemen of course, still whimper when they see him.
02:21To be so utterly terrifying when he was only a child.
02:26It wasn't that exactly.
02:29He was...
02:31Still is remarkably intelligent.
02:35And he is authoritative.
02:36Kind of man few people question.
02:39Even at seven he was very much that way.
02:42And he is utterly unafraid.
02:46There is nothing that frightens him.
02:49Nothing that intimidates him.
02:58Why won't he ever look at me?
03:02What do you mean?
03:05Never mind.
03:10He never looks at you.
03:14Huh.
03:17That is out of character for him.
03:19Adam usually faces problems directly.
03:22I'm a problem then?
03:24A poor choice of words of my part.
03:28A great deal has changed lately.
03:30Adam does tend to get more...
03:32I don't know.
03:36Prickly.
03:37When he has a lot in his mind.
03:39So you're saying I shouldn't give up yet?
03:42If I had given up on Adam for being grumpy, we wouldn't be friends.
03:47How long did it take for him to stop being prickly with you?
03:51He still is.
03:54Adam would never admit it.
03:56But he knows I refuse to be bullied.
03:59And I think he respects that.
04:01He keeps trying.
04:02But I think he hopes it'll never work.
04:05So he doesn't like people who are intimidated by him?
04:09He doesn't respect them.
04:11That is a little different.
04:13It is a great deal different to Adam.
04:15Adam likes his mother.
04:17But he doesn't respect her.
04:19Mother Harriet.
04:21I've called her that since I was a boy.
04:23Has made something of a hobby out of pitying Adam.
04:27And he doesn't like that?
04:28Frustrates him.
04:32Frustrates him.
04:36If Adam does not like people to be afraid of him, why does he go to such lengths to make
04:41certain they are?
04:45I have my theories.
04:47But Adam's motivations are not a topic I am willing to discuss.
04:51I am attempting to find my place here and claim a degree of equanimity with my new husband.
05:00I need help if I am to have any hope of understanding Adam.
05:05Most people do not even try.
05:07But he is worth sorting out Persephone.
05:10I promise you.
05:13He is.
05:20He really never looks at you.
05:27Something about you has ruffled him.
05:31Nothing ruffles Adam.
05:47I am not a man.
05:50I am not a man.
05:55I am not a man.
05:58I am not a man.
05:59I am not a man.
05:59I am not a man.
06:03I am not a man.
06:04I am not a man.
06:04Just so your grace, he is a bit skittish this morning.
06:06It has been so cold and all.
06:08Haven't you a horse that isn't skittish but cold?
06:10What?
06:11Atlas behaves in the cold.
06:13Who named the horse Atlas?
06:15His grace did.
06:17And his grace does not think it a ridiculous name?
06:20It being Greek and mythological.
06:23He named his own monk Zeus.
06:25That would be one of them hidden gods and all.
06:28Such names are not ridiculous for horses.
06:33Then I had best such the forest for a sorceress to transform me into a horse.
06:38Lest I spend the rest of my life doomed to a constant state of ridiculousness.
06:42You would make an atrocious horse, Persephone.
06:44On that we can agree.
06:54What brings you out of the silly?
06:56I was hoping to attempt to ride again.
06:58How long have you been out of the saddle?
07:00Ten years.
07:04Ten years?
07:05And you were going to attempt to ride alibi?
07:07I know you, Grace.
07:08The Duchess was just asking if you were ailing or upset.
07:12I was thinking Atlas would be good for a Grace.
07:16It's a good choice.
07:20Are you really going to try riding again?
07:21To be perfectly honest, I'm not certain one could accurately call my previous experience riding.
07:27Our neighbours, the Uptons, allowed me to ride a pony of theirs on occasion as a child.
07:32If memory serves, it was aged and did little more than shift its weight.
07:38Stay.
07:38Stay.
07:40She's calm instead of you, Grace.
07:42She'll not hurt you.
07:44May I feed her a carrot?
07:46The Uptons pony was swanned of carrots.
07:48Well, perhaps the poor thing waddled so much because he was overfed.
07:53Let's go.
07:54That's it.
08:01If she and Atlas Pot Company see to it that Joan has her brought up to the castle.
08:06Don't you want to even see her try?
08:07I've seen enough people quit in my lifetime without witnessing the same thing again.
08:11I think she'll surprise you.
08:30You've had quite a few riding lessons now.
08:32Are you feeling more confident in something?
08:34Quite a bit more.
08:36Tomorrow I intend to attempt to jump the castle wall.
08:39Atlas doesn't know yet.
08:43Just my luck, I'll miss that.
08:45Miss it?
08:46I am for Hoik in the morning.
08:49You're certain you couldn't live tonight?
08:53Do you go to Scotland often?
08:55I have an aunt and uncle in Hoik.
08:57They're always asking me to come for a visit.
08:59And I'm always asking you to leave.
09:01How is it that their requests are adhered to and mine are ignored?
09:05Because I know you do not actually want me to go.
09:15I've never been to Scotland.
09:16You live a stone's throw from it now?
09:18Perhaps you and Adam could gad about Hadrian's Wall sometime.
09:21I do not gad about.
09:23I have not ever been to Shropshire.
09:25Though I hear it is beautiful.
09:28I admit to being very biased on the matter, but I think it is the most beautiful area of England.
09:34All my family does.
09:36Athena waxes poetic about it quite often.
09:38Evander's letters regularly mention missing Shropshire.
09:43Have you heard from either of your young Navy brothers recently?
09:47The last letter I had from Evander indicated the triumphant the ship they are serving on was not far from
09:52Spain.
09:56Great deal of activity in that part of the world just now.
10:02I worry over the boys almost constantly.
10:06And I worry about my sisters and my father.
10:10About quite a few people, truth be told.
10:16Well, rest assured, Persephone, you needn't worry about me while I am away.
10:21My aunt and uncle will fuss over me more than sufficiently, leaving you ample energy for gadding about with Adam.
10:27I do not gad about.
10:30Hmph!
11:01My mother therefore freed me and my son.
11:08My son is sweet.
11:09The sweetichen and uncle do amazing.
11:11That's who sheŃŃŃĆa THAT's still toandon Sean dodge.
11:12I'm a son.
11:12Over time, Die behawn of Dr. Bondi just may be so ģģ°-daran.
11:25Mr. Bondi, I don't know.
11:25He's very fond of the name.
11:25Where are you, I'm one of your own years?
11:33Good afternoon, Adam.
11:35I will not intrude on your solitude, Phil.
11:38This has arrived, and I wish to explain.
11:41Please sit.
11:44I'm fine.
11:45I'm not asking for your comfort, but for my own.
11:48I have no desire to strain my neck looking up as you loom over me.
12:01Now, will you open the parcel?
12:03Yes, sir. Do you want to explain?
12:04After you open it.
12:23You cannot ride without a proper riding habit.
12:26I ordered it because you need one, and I did not think you knew how to obtain it.
12:31You ordered this for me.
12:33I don't know that it is the color you would have chosen, but...
12:35...on blue seemed a good option.
12:39You'll need it when you ride, regardless of its color.
12:42You must have great faith in my abilities to learn to ride.
12:46Thus far, I am proving a very poor pupil.
12:50Quite a bit better yesterday.
12:52You watched me.
12:55With Harry gone, I have a lot of time on my hands.
12:58Your boots will take longer to arrive.
12:59Well, you've ordered boots for me as well.
13:01Oh, yeah.
13:01Slippers are highly appropriate for riding.
13:03I haven't been wearing slippers.
13:04You've such well have been.
13:11I don't know what to say, Adam.
13:14It's not necessary for you to say anything.
13:16I only wish to explain.
13:19Thank you, Adam.
13:22This is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever owned.
13:25And it'll be warm.
13:27You chose a good color.
13:28I do like blue.
13:31Oh, I...
13:33I nearly forgot.
13:35This has arrived for you as well.
13:39I shall leave you to your letter.
13:57This has been a battle at sea.
14:05I...
14:05I'll keep Trafalgar.
14:08I'm trying to sustain heavy losses.
14:13Your brothers?
14:17Linus' feet is unknown.
14:26Evander is dead.
14:48No!
14:53No!
14:55No!
15:01She's in pain.
15:04And I can't do a blasted thing about her.
15:08Having the first idea where to stop.
15:13When Mother was distressed, she just left Faustin.
15:20Persephone hasn't left yet.
15:23So what do I do?
15:26I don't want her to be miserable.
15:29I need her.
15:34Dukes don't need people.
15:40Mother has always preferred being away from me.
15:45Persephone will as well.
15:59D nuļæ½ļæ½ė
16:01That's not what she takes.
16:03That's not that bad.
16:05Stay here.
16:12I feel like I have anxiety.
16:41Adam, I think I hear wolves.
17:11I'm trying to be brave, Adam.
17:41I'm trying to be brave.
18:17I'm trying to be brave.
18:32I need my family.
18:34I'm trying to be brave.
19:04I'm trying to be brave.
19:16I'm trying to be brave.
19:33I'm trying to be brave.
19:57Oh.
20:13Adam?
20:14Adam?
20:14I'm trying to be brave.
20:49I'm trying to be brave.
20:58I'm trying to be brave.
21:11I'm trying to be brave.
21:34I'm trying to be brave.
22:25I'm trying to be brave.
22:53I'm trying to be brave.
23:02I'm trying to be brave.
23:23I'm trying to be brave.
23:31I'm trying to be brave.
23:44I'm trying to be brave.
23:52I'm trying to be brave.
23:56I'm trying to be brave.
23:59I'm trying to be brave.
24:08I'm trying to be brave.
24:26I'm trying to be brave.
24:52Where is the owner of this establishment?
25:06What can I do for you, governor?
25:08There is a gentleman staying at this inn, Mr. Wendover.
25:11Where is he?
25:17How much is no one worth here?
25:20You like your waive begging me pardon?
25:22I beg no one's pardon.
25:24Where is he?
25:25Settle the gulf's bill, then I'll tell you.
25:30His bill will be settled in the usual manner upon departure.
25:35I'll be adding to the bill then. Inconvenience, you see.
25:39If you're in mind to toss a few extra pounds, you might save yourself some blood in the end.
25:44A few extra pounds.
25:46What do you feel you are currently holding?
25:49I can't say really.
25:50It goes higher all the time, doesn't it?
25:53I reckon a few shillings been added since we've been talking.
26:00Where is the gentleman who's staying here?
26:02I'll call your accountant.
26:03You, Hooper.
26:05I ain't got a shilling.
26:09A half-crown?
26:11Where is the gentleman who's staying here?
26:14First door on your right, governor.
26:15Step over!
26:43Step over!
26:43If you're dead, don't expect me to eulogize you.
26:48Even to tell me to shut up one last time.
26:52what instructions did the physician leave
26:57i haven't seen one was one not sinful i made repeated requests your grace but i was prevented
27:03at every turn by why did you not allow a physician to be summoned this gentleman is clearly ill i
27:11run in a charity guff ain't nothing to pay a doctor with and his man servant here is poorer
27:17than he is so you left him to grow more ill perhaps to the point of endangering his life
27:23people die all the time don't they how many have died in this inn waiting for help that
27:30was never going to come sick and dying don't fight back makes it easier to settle their
27:35bill by picking their pockets no doubt madam can we go back to the castle in the looks of
27:45you you'd do better to go directly to a cemetery might be a good idea let's get mr windover to
27:51the carriage of course
27:58how much do you imagine you are owed by mr windover
28:00sooner and everything i'd settle up for five pounds five pounds
28:05nothing you have provided or could provide is worth a tenth of that
28:08i reckon you can afford it and do you demand such exorbitant sums from people who can't afford
28:13it someone will always walk away or uh go i'm just making sense it ain't never me

32:44i will have the kitchen send you up a tray
32:58i
33:21adam
33:32Oh, Adam, you've married a coward.
34:12At least she doesn't snore.
34:26Mesefhanie!
34:31Mesefhanie!
34:46Mesefhanie! Adam!
35:11I'm behaving like a ridiculous blackwood, panicking over a dream.
35:16Adam?
35:17What?
35:23Harry seems a little better this morning.
35:30I am glad he is improving.
35:33So am I.
35:37Are you planning on riding this morning?
35:40I am.
35:41I would rather you didn't.
35:42But I'm...
35:43I would rather you didn't.
35:48I won't if you really don't want me to.
35:51Good.
35:51I think it would be best if you do not.
35:55What the blazes is wrong with me?
36:14that was not me.
36:37Oh!
36:42I get that a lot.
36:46We've been worried about you.
36:50It's all been a ploy to get attention.
36:58Why were you so displeased when you were looking in the mirror?
37:01It was nothing.
37:05That wasn't nothing.
37:12Do you think
37:15I'm ridiculous?
37:17Oh, you large buckets.
37:21Adam's been talking again, hasn't he?
37:25He looked me over, studying me very closely.
37:29Then he said ridiculous.
37:31He once described St James's palace as ridiculous.
37:36It's his favourite word.
37:39He is so confusing.
37:44All part of his charm, Pasiphanie.
37:52How did he come to have such extensive scars?
38:03Adam was born with a stub where his right ear was meant to be.
38:08A succession of surgeons came to the castle over the first few years of his life, attempting to find it.
38:15The scars, then, weren't the result of an accident.
38:20We were attempting to fix him, but in the end, he still has no ear.
38:28His hearing is still a little novel on outside, and he's been left scarred in more ways than one.
38:39You need to rest.
38:40I'm fine.
38:41And I won't keep you from it.
38:44If there is anything at all that he needs, do not hesitate to ask.
38:47Thank you, your grace.
