00:01:32Are you ready?
00:01:34As we commit Lord Kilmartin's earthly remains to their final resting place, we are reminded
00:01:40of the transient nature of life and the fragile beauty of human existence.
00:01:45May his spirit find everlasting peace in the heavenly kingdom.
00:01:58My elder brother, Anthony, he would usually be the one to speak in times like this, so
00:02:02I apologise in advance.
00:02:06Standing before you, I know I'm supposed to say something profound, but to be honest I
00:02:13am rather at a loss.
00:02:16This is an unfathomable tragedy for Lord Kilmartin's family, for my sister Francesca, for my
00:02:26family, for all of us.
00:02:28What makes his death so difficult to bear is not just its suddenness, but the fact he was
00:02:36a good man, one of the best of us, always guided by an unshakable sense of integrity.
00:02:46His devotion to his family, to his seat in parliament, and most especially to my sister Francesca, it
00:02:54was unwavering.
00:02:57There's nothing I can say to make sense of this loss, or to fill the void we're all feeling.
00:03:06All I can offer is this.
00:03:10We will cherish our memory of John, and be forever grateful to have known such an exceptional
00:03:18human being.
00:03:39Forgive me, I was not made all too well.
00:03:43No, thank you, you did well.
00:03:47Would you like a moment alone?
00:03:49It's not necessary.
00:03:50There is far too much to oversee at home.
00:03:52The servants will have everything set up.
00:03:54You might wish to spend a last moment here.
00:03:56I would like to see that all is in order.
00:03:59I will meet you at the carriage.
00:04:21Questions.UNTEEN
00:04:22We will be
00:04:22for you. All the traditions.
00:04:23He will be veiled
00:04:24by a common headache.
00:04:27Shocking.
00:04:30Indeed.
00:04:32Thank you both for coming.
00:04:35Is this all not rather morbid?
00:04:39It is a funeral.
00:04:41It is not morbid, it is proper.
00:04:44Because heaven forbid death be anything but orderly.
00:04:48Lady Danbury.
00:04:50Francesca.
00:04:52Lord Kilmartin was a fine man.
00:04:55I liked him very much.
00:04:58Yes.
00:04:59I did as well.
00:05:02Obviously.
00:05:03Please do enjoy the refreshments.
00:05:06My condolences to you.
00:05:08And to you.
00:05:12These arrived from Anthony and Kate, dear?
00:05:18Some of my children feel devastated they are unable to attend.
00:05:21Much of our family also could not travel down from Scotland in time.
00:05:25I am most relieved I was already in London.
00:05:28And most appreciated.
00:05:30You volunteered to host the reception today.
00:05:35I would have hosted at Kilmartin House but I thought the servants here might be better equipped.
00:05:39There is no need to explain.
00:05:41I could not imagine hosting when my husband died.
00:05:44It was my honour.
00:05:46Your son was a cherished part of this family.
00:05:48He adored your Francesca.
00:05:50I will never forget when he came home.
00:05:52The night being met.
00:05:54Stars in his eyes.
00:05:56Oh no.
00:05:57Is this too overwhelming?
00:05:58No, I...
00:06:00You are running out of biscuits.
00:06:02That is all.
00:06:02Biscuits?
00:06:03The guests will expect them.
00:06:04Please excuse me.
00:06:11For you?
00:06:14You have been so attentive to Francesca.
00:06:16I thought I might tend to you.
00:06:19This is very kind of you.
00:06:27Is this what Papa's funeral was like?
00:06:30I was not born.
00:06:31The rest of you got to be there.
00:06:33You were there.
00:06:34You were in Mama's belly.
00:06:37Biscuit?
00:06:45Francesca, surely your servant will help with those.
00:06:48Please allow me.
00:06:50Thank you but I am quite capable.
00:06:58Let us all have a biscuit shall we?
00:07:00Do you know what are in these?
00:07:02I have always wondered.
00:07:05No.
00:07:07A treacle.
00:07:08I imagine.
00:07:10What else do you think?
00:07:11I taste vanilla.
00:07:12Something spicy.
00:07:14Ginger maybe?
00:07:16Flour.
00:07:17Probably a little salt and perhaps...
00:07:20Mr Bridgerton.
00:07:27Ladies.
00:07:28Our deepest condomances.
00:07:29Oh.
00:07:30Thank you for being...
00:07:31Are you truly alright sister?
00:07:32I'm so sorry.
00:07:34I can't believe he is gone.
00:07:36I can't believe he is gone.
00:07:42Lady Kilmartin?
00:07:44Your hair, it is coming undone.
00:07:47Perhaps we might go upstairs and I can attend to it for you.
00:08:14Thank you for giving me some respite.
00:08:18I am simply doing my job.
00:08:19My lady.
00:08:20If only I were doing mine.
00:08:23I think you were doing admirably.
00:08:28At my father's funeral there was a very large tray of pickled salmon.
00:08:33All I could do was think how my father detested pickled salmon.
00:08:36I wanted to throw the tray and scream.
00:08:39And did you?
00:08:44I came close.
00:08:47But I realised we all know different versions of the same person.
00:08:51Perhaps someone thought he loved pickled salmon.
00:08:54The best any of us can do is honour the memories of those we have loved.
00:08:59And let them live on through us.
00:09:01How does one do that?
00:09:04Well, I always try to think logically like my father.
00:09:08And for my mother, I wear her necklace.
00:09:14I must have forgotten it today.
00:09:24For your help.
00:09:27I had better retire while my mother will fear I have fled.
00:09:31If you need more respite,
00:09:34simply give me a nod and I will slip some brandy in your drink.
00:09:51Not even an invitation to funeral from the Bridgetons.
00:09:54The reputation for warmth is undeserved.
00:09:57At least Rosamond has a new suitor.
00:09:59And one of rather high rank even.
00:10:02We are fortunate in Lord Stotter's interest.
00:10:04You don't know how distraught your sister has been after failing to capture Mr Bridgerton's affection.
00:10:09She had her heart set on that match.
00:10:12Perhaps it is for the best.
00:10:13She and Mr Bridgerton may not have been well suited.
00:10:16Rosamond is well suited to anyone.
00:10:18She could charm a statue.
00:10:20If it were not for Sophie's interference.
00:10:22Sophie?
00:10:27Is that why we went looking for Sophie at Bridgerton's house the other week?
00:10:30Because you suspect she has formed an attachment to Mr Bridgerton?
00:10:33It would not be the first time she interfered in our lives.
00:10:39Do you know where Sophie's working, Posey?
00:10:43No. I hardly know how to stitch my embroidery in the right direction.
00:10:47Let alone keep track of Sophie's whereabouts.
00:10:52Very well.
00:10:53Lovely.
00:10:54I will have to find her myself then.
00:10:57And you enjoy dancing?
00:10:58The cotillion is my favourite dance.
00:11:01My governess said I was excelling at all fours.
00:11:03I prefer a waltz.
00:11:04Oh, I do prefer a waltz.
00:11:22What are you doing out here? It's very cold.
00:11:25Uh, I nearly wanted to feel something.
00:11:28Other than despair.
00:11:30So, I chose to feel cold.
00:11:33Is it helping?
00:11:34Not particularly.
00:11:37They are in need of more mint for the refreshments.
00:11:40I shall leave you be shortly.
00:11:44It was kind of you to stay for the funeral.
00:11:48You've been a great comfort to Eloise and Hyacinth.
00:11:56As have you.
00:11:58They are very fortunate to have you, you know.
00:12:06I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:12:12It's all right, Sophie. You are not required to give me comfort.
00:12:14I know that.
00:12:16I know it is not a condition of my employment, but my heart is breaking for you.
00:12:24For all of you.
00:12:31Who are still planning on leaving?
00:12:35At the end of the week.
00:12:37After the family has had some time.
00:12:38Yes, of course.
00:12:40As you should.
00:12:44I wish you luck, Sophie.
00:12:49Please go inside. I cannot send you off to your new position with influenza.
00:12:58I can stay a moment if you...
00:13:00No.
00:13:01Forgive me.
00:13:06I'm trying desperately to be strong for my family, for Francesca, on this dreadful day.
00:13:14And if you stay, I am afraid I will not be able to hold it together.
00:13:21I understand.
00:13:31I do not see you again.
00:13:36Goodbye, Mr Bridgerton.
00:13:41Goodbye, Sophie.
00:13:44Goodbye, Sophie.
00:14:10My entire life I have found comfort in silence.
00:14:14Presumably because I never found any growing up amongst all my siblings.
00:14:21But now...
00:14:25Now, I should be grateful if you might fill it.
00:14:28I dare say this is the longest I have ever seen you go without talking.
00:14:33I am merely enjoying the peace of not having to listen to one more stranger
00:14:38and apologise for my loss.
00:14:40Everyone is simply trying to be respectful.
00:14:43Yes.
00:14:44I realise it is proper here to speak in euphemisms
00:14:48and act as if we are statues in the face of death.
00:14:55You know...
00:14:57In Scotland,
00:15:00a life lost is celebrated
00:15:02instead of mourned.
00:15:04Everyone eats,
00:15:06drinks,
00:15:07tells stories of the dead,
00:15:09cries and...
00:15:12laughs.
00:15:13Is that not a little...
00:15:16indulgent?
00:15:17In fact,
00:15:19it can be rather cathartic.
00:15:21Joyful, even.
00:15:24Perhaps we could still have a celebration for a smaller group
00:15:27here, at Kilmartin House.
00:15:30I am sorry if you found the funeral lacking.
00:15:33You did a splendid job, Francesca.
00:15:37I was merely suggesting a celebration
00:15:39so that John might be remembered not for his death but for his life.
00:15:43I knew John better than I know myself
00:15:45and I truly believe he would not want to be the cause of tears or sorrow.
00:15:49He was a Scotsman.
00:15:51He would not want to be mourned by strangers.
00:15:53He would want his life rejoiced at by family, friends, his wife.
00:15:57He would want for us to get up and dance and try to...
00:15:59He does not want anything.
00:16:02He is dead.
00:16:03Gone.
00:16:04And turning his funeral into a circus will not change that.
00:16:27He would not.
00:16:28I meant a great deal having you at the funeral.
00:16:32I do not know what we will do without you, Agatha.
00:16:34i'm not leaving for another two weeks so there are plenty of goodbyes still to say
00:16:40and i will not be gone forever i am happy for you i think i am still in disbelief that
00:16:47the queen
00:16:47granted me leave to go i hear you are making a life change of your own with my brother you
00:16:57you know i do not believe he told anyone else he would have been a fool not to ask
00:17:03i am delighted you both thank you only i am violet is everything all right yes yes of course
00:17:19i i uh i simply feel that in the wake of john's passing your mind is on francesca indeed
00:17:28i am rather concerned that she is not allowing herself to grieve
00:17:35give her time we both know it is a winding and illogical road to mourn a lost love
00:17:44she's not in her right mind
00:17:58are you all right sophie you look as though you did not sleep a wink i lost my necklace i
00:18:02spent
00:18:02half the night searching for it what does it look like it is a silver chain with an amethyst pendant
00:18:07do you know when you last saw it i have no idea i hardly notice when i'm wearing it as
00:18:12i so rarely
00:18:12take it off deliveries are here make haste i'll look out for it sophie perhaps this is the heavens
00:18:21telling you that you should not leave us for penwood house no it is merely telling me that i have
00:18:26been
00:18:26unforgivably careless i've been so caught up that's the only piece of my mother i ever had we will find
00:18:33it
00:18:43okay
00:18:43will michaela be joining us
00:18:47i do not believe so we are giving each other space which suits me quite well as i am rather
00:18:53busy with my correspondence to john's relatives surely you do not need to write all of them now
00:18:58people deserve to know writing certainly can be cathartic sometimes when i'm feeling lost i find
00:19:05that writing steadies me i am steady
00:19:15francesca you do not need to be you are amongst family if you would like to throw something or scream
00:19:21heloise please that is not how i wish to proceed i should like to stay calm but you need not
00:19:27yes i do
00:19:33i am with child
00:19:37my courses were supposed to arrive days ago but they never came
00:19:42that is splendid news john has left me with a gift a piece of himself just as father left mother
00:19:49with
00:19:49hyacinth so if i must remain calm for the sake of our child and the future of the kilmartin line
00:19:55so be it it is a worthy cause
00:20:00i'm delighted for you sister thank you but let us just keep this between ourselves for now until i speak
00:20:09to the men from the house of lords of course
00:20:17how is lady kilmartin fairing she is fairing as best she can i imagine
00:20:24it is quite a cruel twist of fate to lose one's husband at such a tender age i imagine it
00:20:31cruel to
00:20:31lose one's to lose one's husband at any age and yet for some of us a release
00:20:39what was she wearing at the funeral lady kilmartin if one must endure
00:20:45i do hope she at least was enduring in a marvelous ensemble she looked quite elegant
00:20:54these bonbons do not taste the same it is a shame when a good thing changes you know charlotte
00:21:03there is a fortnight yet before i leave yes i know i should like the bonbons from switzerland instead
00:21:11perhaps i should arrange for some new exotic animal to be imported for the grounds
00:21:17i will write charlotte
00:21:24i am sad agatha
00:21:28it is a sad time
00:21:30yes goodbyes are never easy particularly as i have just bid farewell to whistledown
00:21:39she would have written something profound
00:21:41about lord kilmartin's passing not to mention a detailed report of the funereal fashions beyond elegant
00:21:51it would have been something to look forward to
00:21:56i miss her
00:21:59mrs mondridge
00:22:00i should like to hold mercury now
00:22:06your majesty
00:22:10oh she is quite excitable
00:22:14perhaps the bitch needs some water to cool down
00:22:17it would have been something to look forward to the house of lords
00:22:30there you are
00:22:32here i am
00:22:34i hope i am not interrupting
00:22:36i have just sent word to the house of lords to arrange their visit with francesca concerning the kilmartin estate
00:22:43i will attend as well of course
00:22:44thank you
00:22:45well for all you have done in anthony's absence
00:22:52are you all right
00:22:54there's not me you should be worrying about
00:22:55well you're most fortunate that sophie remained to help i do hope she'll be content
00:22:59please do not bring her up
00:23:00i know i know it has been a difficult week
00:23:02not today please
00:23:06it is all a tad hypocritical do you not think
00:23:10what is hypocritical
00:23:11you
00:23:13you spent our entire lives claiming the one thing that matters is marrying a love match
00:23:18for years i did not understand it nor want it in fact i ran from it
00:23:22and now
00:23:25now i have found someone i love more than i could even have thought possible
00:23:29someone captivating and maddening and real just as you wanted
00:23:33just as daphne and anthony and colin and francesca
00:23:36you love her
00:23:36it does not signify does it she is not of the right class so i cannot be with her not
00:23:41truly
00:23:41i must let her go as if she means nothing
00:23:44tell me is that what you would have done had father been of the lower classes
00:23:48tossed your lover aside to search for someone of proper breeding
00:23:53forgive me
00:24:17i wanted to thank you for staying on the help of the funeral
00:24:24oh it is the least i could do
00:24:27i do regret that i'm leaving at such a difficult time
00:24:30well you must do what is best for you
00:24:37sophie
00:24:41is it because of benedict that you feel you must depart
00:24:47why did you not dismiss me well perhaps i should have done but i like you
00:24:52you're the sort of woman i would like for my son if i were not a maid
00:25:00you must know it is not mr bridgerton's fault your son is a good man i i knew better
00:25:07sophie
00:25:09if there is perhaps something about your history that you have not shared
00:25:14your accent your education your proclivity for languages perhaps if there is something that you are running from
00:25:28no i am a maid i am not a suitable match for your son
00:25:36i wish the world were different
00:25:47leave me alone gregory it's all well get out
00:25:52i try to talk a sense into hyacinth but she is highly unreasonable mother sugar stops at seven
00:26:03what is going on in here i am simply ridding myself of things i should not need as i have
00:26:09decided to delay my debut or perhaps not to make my debut at all not same curtains same ceiling yet
00:26:15surely i am in a foreign land what is the point of finding love when your husband will probably die
00:26:24so this is about john it's only john father even lord featherington all gone i have been taken
00:26:33up with foolish fantasies when all love truly brings is hardship and sorrow
00:26:40i suppose it is difficult well i for one want no part of it i have finally seen the wisdom
00:26:47in what
00:26:47you have been telling me you were right all along sister
00:27:05how is francesca oh what she is going through i would not wish on anyone shall we
00:27:16be able to do that
00:27:17losing someone unexpectedly it is as if your very breath is is ripped from you your entire reality
00:27:23has shifted within the blink of an eye it is natural you must be thinking of edmund yes i have
00:27:30i think about nesser every day

00:27:43i'm here for you
00:27:44there is one thing i must request

00:28:53will find you another
00:28:54position there are so few just now well i've heard of one opening for a housemaid on breton street that
00:28:59is far too close to bridgerton house perhaps i should return to the country i have heard of one other
00:29:06position a family in mayfair is in need of a lady's maid to help them move their servants speak very
00:29:12highly of them i can do that you know i am skilled at they're moving to the americans you would
00:29:19need
00:29:19to be on a ship in three days
00:29:39francesca this is mr dundas from the house of lords good day good day my condolences for your
00:29:46loss and apologies for the timing of this visit lady kilmartin it's procedure quite right despite
00:29:53the circumstances it is of the utmost importance the lines of succession are followed to the letter
00:29:58your brother has been a tremendous help with the paperwork i'll be speaking with the sterling family
00:30:03next but of course there is one question i must ask you first as a formality really i am with
00:30:09child
00:30:13sister that is wonderful news indeed well then i shall alert the physician for an examination at once
00:30:25examination well yes we must have confirmation but can you not simply take her word for it
00:30:31of course lady kilmartin your word is of great value it is only that the crown has grown quite
00:30:35stringent when it comes to succession there is an estate and title at stake not to mention a seat
00:30:40in parliament i i do not wish to have an examination my sister has been through a great loss mr
00:30:45dundas
00:30:46any examination will have to wait but believe me i sympathize but this is the way society demands
00:30:51things be done i've had quite enough of the demands of society and his utterly antiquated way of doing
00:30:56things this is an honorable family you have no idea of the sacrifices we have made to maintain that honor
00:31:03i'll not stand here and let you pressure my sister after the nightmare she's been through
00:31:10i assure you lady kilmartin it will be swift and dignified and then we can all take comfort in
00:31:17knowing for certain
00:31:42i know
00:31:45i
00:31:45i
00:31:45i
00:31:47i
00:31:48i
00:31:48I don't know.
00:32:22Forgive me, I heard a noise.
00:32:24I did not mean to startle you.
00:32:27I have been tasked with organising John's affairs and I've misplaced a document.
00:32:32You need not explain.
00:32:35Please, I will do it.
00:32:39It's been a hell of a week.
00:32:42I know.
00:32:45Every time I see you, I'm conscious it may be the last.
00:32:49And I hated how we said goodbye at the funeral.
00:33:12I'm conscious it may be the last.
00:33:36I...
00:33:38I know.
00:34:08Have you finished tea?
00:34:11Yes.
00:34:12Shall I take you to your bedchamber?
00:34:15No.
00:34:16Would you like another cup of tea?
00:34:18No, I should like to sleep in here.
00:34:20In the drawing room, Francesca, are you avoiding sleeping in your room?
00:34:29I do not blame you.
00:34:34I could not bear to be at Aubrey Hall for months.
00:34:38Yes. But being there and facing it and feeling it...
00:34:43Oh, stop it! Will you please stop it?
00:34:44I am so sorry, my dear. I am only trying to...
00:34:47You were trying to tell me that you understand!
00:34:54I can see it in your face, even when you say nothing, that we are the same now, because
00:34:59we have both lost our husbands, but we are not the same.
00:35:04You have eight children.
00:35:09Eight pieces of your husband to remember him by eight!
00:35:12Eight times you did your wifely duty and gave father the gift of children.
00:35:16And what did I give John?
00:35:17Nothing!
00:35:17And I only have myself to blame.
00:35:19Francesca, none of this is your fault.
00:35:21It is! It is my fault.
00:35:24I cursed it!
00:35:26John wanted to have a child, and it was my duty to give that to him, to continue the Kilmartin
00:35:31line, and I failed him! I gave him nothing! I have nothing! I have nothing!
00:35:35Is it all right? It's all right.
00:35:40You're all right.
00:35:44I have nothing to do with nothing.
00:35:57Can I bring you some tea, my lady?
00:36:01No, thank you, Mrs. Woodson.
00:36:05Sometimes I sit here and just stir at this portrait.
00:36:10We're always supposed to be in this together, Edmund and I, through every trial.
00:36:16And the children, they look to me for answers, and I, I do not have all the answers.
00:36:24You were supposed to be here.
00:36:31If I may, Mom, the children do not need you to have all the answers.
00:36:37Or even half the answers.
00:36:41They only need you to love them.
00:36:46I can't hear you.
00:37:13Mrs. Wilson told me you were still here.
00:37:18Mother, I was just about to take my leave.
00:37:23Shall I pour you a drink?
00:37:25A strong one, perhaps.
00:37:47I owe you an apology.
00:37:49You know, I have been thinking about your father quite a lot.
00:37:53Of course.
00:37:53That you were also very unlucky to lose him when you did.
00:37:57You were so young.
00:37:59But for me, in many ways, I was lucky.
00:38:07I had a great love for a very long time.
00:38:13Some people never get that.
00:38:21After everything that has transpired, I have found myself reflecting quite a lot about love, about time not always being
00:38:33on our side.
00:38:35I did not realize how strongly you felt about Sophie.
00:38:39I assumed it was a flirtation, a dalliance.
00:38:42I never imagined it.
00:38:43I should never have allowed it to go that far.
00:38:45Starting a life with someone from another class is no easy feat.
00:38:49You would have to move to the country.
00:38:50Yes, we had discussed such plans.
00:38:54I would have gone back and forth.
00:38:56No, no, there would be no going back and forth.
00:38:58You would be ostracized by society, both of you.
00:39:01You would have to move there permanently.
00:39:04I imagine that would be a rather startling transition for someone who has lived a life as well-liked and
00:39:10privileged as you.
00:39:11It is important that you understand because there is one crucial sacrifice you will have to make, your family.
00:39:24And that is not to say that we shall not speak, but it will mostly be confined to letters.
00:39:30We will not be able to visit as often as we might like, as it could impact your sister's prospects
00:39:37for marriage if we are believed to nurture a close relationship.
00:39:40So you will miss birthdays and weddings and...
00:39:45Stop it, please. There is truly no need for this.
00:39:49Sophie does not want to be with me.
00:39:50Oh, I very much doubt that is the case if you ask her to marry.
00:39:58How strong did I pour that drink?
00:39:59What you said was correct.
00:40:04All I have ever wanted for my children was to find love.
00:40:07So if you have found it, you deserve to go after it before it is too late.
00:40:13If you marry Sophie, it will never change how much I love you, Benedict.
00:40:22And with that said, I know my son, I know my son, I know that at times you can be...
00:40:33...noncommittal.
00:40:37No, you must have me mistaken for one of your other children.
00:40:47Promise me you will think very carefully before making a decision.
00:40:52Whatever you choose, you must live with it forever.
00:40:58We all will.
00:41:12Organic Music
00:41:12Basic Music
00:41:33We shall find you a dress that cannot be ignored.
00:41:37Lord Stotter will have no choice but to propose.
00:41:43I did not realise I was a jester.
00:41:47Apologies, Mama.
00:41:48It is only the thought of a mere dress so bewitching that a gentleman loses his free will.
00:41:54Must be quite the magical dress indeed.
00:41:56It will be, when I wear it.
00:41:58I look forward to seeing it.
00:42:00In fact, I think it wise you stay behind today.
00:42:03Your sister and I will have a lengthy appointment at the Modiste.
00:42:06And then we may speak to the magistrate afterwards to see if he has heard any word of Sophie.
00:42:10All my shoe clips being pawned.
00:42:13I am certain you will enjoy some time here.
00:42:18Understood.
00:42:32Well, I should be leaving now to check on the household orders.
00:42:37Shall I get you anything while I am out?
00:42:39No.
00:42:40Thank you, Vali.
00:42:42I should like to take the afternoon to read.
00:42:45Oh.
00:42:46In private.
00:42:47Do not leave.
00:42:49Not leave.
00:43:07Not leave.
00:43:10Just leave.
00:43:16Please don't open the door quickly.
00:43:17I don't believe.
00:43:23Miss Posey, shall I have some tea prepared for you?
00:43:41Posey, what are you doing here?
00:43:43Sophie!
00:43:48I escaped out the drawing-room window. I did not want to risk the servant's seeing.
00:43:52Then when I arrived, I told that handsome footman that I misplaced my glove when we came for tea,
00:43:56and as he went to look, I ran up here. I assumed your room would be up in the attic,
00:43:59like most ladies' maids,
00:44:00though I had to check in three different rooms before I found yours, and thank goodness no-one else was
00:44:04up here.
00:44:05I do not believe I have ever felt so exhilarated in my...
00:44:09I am rambling, and I do not have time.
00:44:12I came to warn you that we have moved in next door, and my mama is intent on finding you.
00:44:16She does not know you live here now, as I have covered for you, but she means to have you
00:44:20arrested for the shoe clips.
00:44:26And she will surely find me if I stay in Mayfair, even if I leave Bridgerton House.
00:44:32I'm so sorry, Sophie. The shoe clips are my fault.
00:44:36It was very brave of you to come, thank you, but you must get back.
00:44:42I... I wish I had said this to you before, but the things she has always said about you, about
00:44:48your mother,
00:44:50they are cruel and untrue.
00:44:53That is kind of you to say.
00:44:54I would not have survived in that house without you.
00:44:57You were always so kind and courageous.
00:45:01You have the strongest will of anyone I have ever known.
00:45:05Perhaps you get that from your mother.
00:45:12There is a job in the Americas. It will keep me safe from your mother.
00:45:16I will be on a ship in two days, and with any luck, she and I shall never see each
00:45:20other again.
00:45:23I will miss you.
00:45:29Do not let her get the better of you.
00:45:31You have a strong will of your own.
00:45:34Now go.
00:45:54Are you going to play something?
00:45:59Benedict, I did not realize you were here.
00:46:04I wanted to see how you are.
00:46:09You have already taken on more than enough by tending to the estate.
00:46:15I should have compelled Mr. Dumas to delay the examination.
00:46:19I am sorry, I could not do more.
00:46:22It would not have changed the outcome.
00:46:27John wished for a child, and I could not give him one.
00:46:44You are rather good.
00:46:45This is all I know.
00:46:48When you were very young, I would play this to make you laugh.
00:46:52I hope it might still work.
00:46:56You should have pursued Piano Forte.
00:47:01One of many things.
00:47:04You do not give yourself enough credit, Benedict.
00:47:07Nor do you.
00:47:12John may have wanted a child.
00:47:15But above all else, he wanted you.
00:47:19It was plain as day to anyone around you, how much joy you brought him.
00:47:26You lit up his entire world.
00:47:35Trust me, it was almost insufferable for the rest of us.
00:47:50Do not....
00:47:51Do not know what he wants.
00:48:06Do not know what he wants.
00:48:07No.
00:48:11I thought doing things the proper way made it the correct way.
00:48:19I thought if I acted as though I was fine, I would be.
00:48:25But I am exhausted.
00:48:27I should like to feel some joy.
00:48:31I want to celebrate Don's life.
00:48:35Will you help me?
00:48:40What do you mean, you lost her?
00:48:42Well, she must have climbed out of the window, ma'am.
00:48:46I mean, how was I to know the girl possessed such agility?
00:48:48You were supposed to follow her to see if she would lead us to Sophie.
00:48:55Posie, how was your day?
00:48:57Well spent, was it?
00:49:00I suppose so.
00:49:01I read a novel.
00:49:10I wish to speak to you.
00:49:23I owe you an apology.
00:49:25I've let my distress about Sophie and the season get the better of me.
00:49:27And at times, perhaps, I have unfairly vended my frustrations on you.
00:49:33Yes, well, I have grown quite accustomed to it.
00:49:37It started long before Sophie left.
00:49:43You know, I was much like you when I was younger.
00:49:46It is obviously Rosamond who is most similar to you.
00:49:48Now, but before my debut.
00:49:50Before the marriage part.
00:49:53I was like you.
00:49:55Joyful.
00:49:56Optimistic.
00:49:58Unconcerned with propriety.
00:50:01Clumsy.
00:50:02I was lucky your father chose me.
00:50:04Considering I hardly knew how to curtsy properly.
00:50:09And then he died.
00:50:11Do you know what it is like for a young lady with two small girls to re-enter the marriage
00:50:15part?
00:50:16I was already damaged goods.
00:50:19So I could not afford a single misstep.
00:50:22I had to be perfect in every way.
00:50:24I was lucky to find a second match.
00:50:26A love match.
00:50:27A love match with that.
00:50:30But then Sophie appeared.
00:50:33And once again I could not produce an heir.
00:50:37And then he died as well.
00:50:40Mama.
00:50:44Do not feel sorry for me.
00:50:48I clearly carry some kind of curse.
00:50:56But I refuse to pass it down to you and Rosamond.
00:50:59Which is why I insist on perfection.
00:51:02And this match with Lord Stotter.
00:51:05If your sister can see it through.
00:51:07It may be the tide that raises all our boats.
00:51:14But not if Lord Stotter were ever to find out about our connection to Sophie.
00:51:18That you and Rosamond were both raised with a bastard child at your side.
00:51:22She is the stain on our name, Posie.
00:51:25And they thought that she has been at Bridgerton House all this time.
00:51:28Seducing the man that your sister had her heart set on.
00:51:33I thought we confirmed that she is not at Bridgerton House.
00:51:38I thought so as well.
00:51:40But Farley saw her at the market today.
00:51:44Wearing a Bridgerton House uniform.
00:51:49You need not go after her, Mama.
00:51:52She is leaving for the Americas.
00:51:54She will leave Bridgerton House soon and you can forget all about her.
00:52:00I see.
00:52:13What am I to do without you?
00:52:16I cannot believe you are abandoning us of Penwood House.
00:52:20Who will help me keep this one in line if you are gone?
00:52:24Somehow I think you will be up to the task.
00:52:34What?
00:52:35Do not give me that look.
00:52:36Not when you are still pretending to go to Penwood House
00:52:38rather than departing for the Americas tomorrow.
00:52:42It will only make saying goodbye that much harder.
00:52:44And I do not want to detract from Lady Kilmartin's event tonight.
00:52:48When must you leave?
00:52:49Whilst the Bridgertons are out.
00:52:51I aim to aid my new employees in finishing their packing this evening.
00:52:54What about your mother's necklace?
00:52:56You said you could not leave it.
00:52:57In many ways, I think I wore it all these years not to honour her.
00:53:02But as a reminder of her mistakes.
00:53:05Perhaps it is time to let it go and leave the past with it.
00:53:08You can do that without crossing the ocean, you know.
00:53:10I must get the ladies ready for the festivities.
00:53:34I must get the ladies ready for the festivities.
00:53:40I will take the ladies ready for the festivities.
00:53:43But tonight, I think I will do that.
00:53:45I will do it with grief and remember the remarkable man that John was.
00:53:49I shall go first.
00:53:51John was my greatest friend and partner in mischief since birth.
00:53:56He was genuine, determined, and had patience fit for a saint to tolerate my nature.
00:54:01More like the patients of tensing.
00:54:07He was my guiding light, my compass.
00:54:10We were opposite ends of the pendulum, yet somehow we balanced each other.
00:54:15I will miss you, dear cousin, more than you will ever know.
00:54:24Do not feel obligated, but if anyone would like to speak...
00:54:31To John, a kind of gentleman I have never known.
00:54:37I always admired how deliberate John was.
00:54:40He thought through everything with such care.
00:54:43Unless, of course, you got some brandy in him, in which case, well, look out.
00:54:49He was exceptionally nimble-footed.
00:54:52You should have seen him climbing trees as a boy.
00:54:54Went up so high, I feared we would never get him down again.
00:55:01John may have been a man of few words, but he saved them for when they counted the most.
00:55:07He knew the power of a gesture, that actions speak louder.
00:55:12He showed his heart with the love he gave to Fran.
00:55:16To all of us.
00:55:18He shall be missed dearly, but never forgotten.
00:55:23To John.
00:55:24To John.
00:55:25To John.
00:55:26To John.
00:55:27To John.
00:55:27Now, perhaps we might-
00:55:28I would like to speak.
00:55:30To John.
00:55:30To John.
00:55:30To John.
00:55:30To John.
00:55:58To John.
00:55:59To John.
00:56:02To John.
00:56:04To John.
00:56:08To John.
00:56:18To John.
00:56:36To John.
00:56:36To John.
00:56:36To John.
00:56:36To John.
00:56:36To John.
00:56:43To John.
00:56:45To John.
00:56:55To John.
00:57:02To John.
00:57:14To John.
00:57:17To John.
00:57:21To John.
00:57:22To John.
00:57:23To John.
00:57:24To John.
00:57:26Will you join me?
00:57:28Yes.
00:57:33Right.
00:57:35This is the stag, everyone.
00:57:44Wonderful.
00:57:46Wonderful.
00:57:47Right.
00:57:48Then we'll go into spinning.
00:57:49And spin.
00:57:57Lovely.
00:58:14Arm.
00:58:18Switch.
00:58:18Switch.
00:58:19Oh, wow.
00:58:21That's the beginning.
00:58:22Yes.
00:58:23Tag.
00:58:24And let's go.
00:58:31And spin.
00:58:36Switch partners.
00:58:41.
00:58:53Excuse me, Mother.
00:58:54Where are you going?
00:58:55There is something I have to take care of at Bridgeton House.
00:58:58But you could not wait?
00:58:59I've waited long enough already.
00:59:01Wait.
00:59:03I have left something for you in your desk.
00:59:05It was my grandmother's.
00:59:10Go.
00:59:11Go.
00:59:41Go.
00:59:43Go.
00:59:45Go.
00:59:47Go.
00:59:50Go.
00:59:52Go.
00:59:52Go.
00:59:54Go.
00:59:57Go.
01:00:08Go.
01:00:19Go.
01:01:23Sophie?
01:01:51It's Sophie down here.
01:01:52Mr. Bridgerton, is everything all right?
01:01:54Whatever you need, we can surely bring it to you.
01:01:56Has she already departed for Penwood House?
01:01:58Yes, sir. I believe she has just left.
01:02:00Then I will be needing my horse to them. I'll ride there at once.
01:02:02Right away, Mrs. Mitchell.
01:02:03Wait! I mean, pardon me, sir.
01:02:06But Sophie is not at Penwood House.
01:02:08She accepted another position with a family moving to the Americas.
01:02:11The Americas?
01:02:12Are you certain?
01:02:13She went to stay with them tonight as they planned to board a ship at dawn.
01:02:15What is the name of the family?
01:02:17I'm afraid I do not know, sir.
01:02:18She would not tell me.
01:02:25Sophie Beck.
01:02:26Constable.
01:02:27This is the thief I was telling you about.
01:02:29Unfortunately, we no longer have to disturb the Bridgertons.
01:02:32I shall take that.
01:02:34Place your hands behind your back.
01:02:35No, please, sir.
01:02:37This is a terrible mistake.
01:02:38I shall explain.
01:02:39Sophie Beck, you are hereby arrested on suspicion of thievery
01:02:41and of impersonating nobility.
01:02:44Wait, wait.
01:02:44No, no.
01:02:46Araminta.
01:02:47Araminta!
01:02:47Do not...
01:02:48Araminta!
01:02:52Araminta, please!
01:03:05Sophie!
01:03:07Sophie!
01:03:09Sophie!
01:03:23Sophie!
01:03:34See you next time!
01:03:36Bye-bye!
